Day 2 & 3 - Multiple Surprises

༺Th 11/19/2015 8:00 AM ࿇ David's House༻

David pondered if he really affected the show. He just brushed it off, it was only a pixel or two, maybe it was only an animation error. He had a dreamless sleep today. It's a Thursday today, and again David has to go to work. He gets up, gets dressed, eats, and heads off to work. As usual, it was an ordinary day at work. He had lunch, blah blah blah. Finally it is 5:00 p.m. and he can go home now. But again, he goes to the steel building.

Once there, he walks into the building as he did the day before. He looks around at the inside of the building. Everything is as it was the day before. He walks up to the stage. The portal also was in its spot, but it seemed a tiny bit larger. Maybe it was his imagination. He stared for a moment at the daylight and trees on the other side of the portal. I wonder something. he walked around to the other side of the portal. It was the same, except facing the other way. He looked closer at the yellow boarder that separated the two realms. He slowly brought his hand to it. He touched it. It was like he touched a floating ring of rope.

He touched it and it was a solid border. At least I don't have to worry about accidentally slicing off my leg or any other part of my body Was it the first time he touched the yellow part? If he had, would he have noticed? He grabbed the yellow outline, It felt strange. He pulled, and it didn't move, he pulled harder, and it still didn't move. Whatever it was, it was locked into place. He finally had enough of messing with the portal. He stepped through and headed to Fluttershy's cottage.

He walked to the cottage while thinking about the portal. How it was even there, how he couldn't move it, and the tingling sensations. Hit thoughts were cut short when he nearly tripped over a bush by Fluttershy's cottage. He walked over to the door and knocked. A few seconds passed and the door opened. "Come on in, I've been waiting for you." she said.

"Oh, have you now?" asked David.

"I sure was. Are you hungry?" she asked.

"You know what? I think I really need some food right now." he said as he realized that he didn't have supper yet and it was 5:31 now according to his watch. Fluttershy and David talked a little bit more about themselves before they finally decided to go to Sugarcube Corner for some food. They left the cottage and started heading into town, making several turns. I had never been into town yet, the buildings look so... interesting and different. he thought. They finally arrived at a building that looked like a Gingerbread house. Chocolate colored roof with swirls of white that was around the edges. Frosting, that's what it looked like. There was a steeple on it like a church, however, the steeple was more of a double stacked cupcake. It even had three candles on it's top. A sign hung out that looked like a delicious cupcake with pink frosting and white sprinkles.

"Wow, this building looks awesome. Like a gingerbread house." said David.

"That's what it's supposed to look like. In there you will find many sweet treats. That's the Sugarcube Corner that we talked about." responded Fluttershy.

"Sweet treats? Is that all they have? I haven't had supper yet, I am not sure about cupcakes and... candy."

"Don't be worried, they have bread and stuff there too. It is a bakery."

And that's when they both reached the door. The sun was now nearing the horizon. Fluttershy opened the door. The strange part about it was that it was black inside. That's odd, do they not need ligh... His thought was cut off and he flew backwards as the inside of the door lit up, and a "Surprise!" coming from multiple voices within the building. When he got up, the pink pony he saw at Fluttershys' the day before was hopping up and down in front of him. David slowly stood up, he suspected this may happen. Did he know this pink pony's name? Sure it was Pinkie Pie, but he didn't know if Fluttershy told him yet. If she had, he didn't remember it. He decided to just ask. He didn't want to spook her out.

"What's your name, pink pony?" asked David.

"My name is Pinkie Pie, were you surprised? Were you? Were you?" she responded, still bouncing up and down.

"Oh yeah, this all caught me off guard." he responded.

"Then why don't you come in and have a party?" The question was rhetorical for she pushed him into the colorful building that looked as if it itself was edible. Ponies hovered all around getting their first real glimpse at David.

༺࿇༻

David was stuffed full of bread and sweet treats, along with all of the other ponies. Party streamers hung from anyplace that they could be hung. Popped balloons covered the floor and other balloons were laying on the ceiling, trying to go higher, but can't. Pinkie Pie was still going at it, hopping around and blowing her party horn. Slowly, the room became quieter as ponies left for the night. He looked at his watch. Wow, that party was so awesome and fun, I totally lost track of time. Three hours long. 10:21 P.M. David was so stuffed and worn out from the party that he just sat in the chair that he sat in to eat. He gazed at one of the balloons that was on the ceiling. His mind began to drift away.

"Hey, don't you need to go home?" Pinkie's voice jolted him awake.

"How long have I been out?" he said in a dazed voice.

"It's one twenty-three in the morning silly, don't you have a watch?" she responded.

Instinctively he looked at his watch. 12:09 A.M. it said.

"That's strange. My watch says it's only midnight, it must be off." He said, still a bit disoriented. Then he realized that he didn't have work tomorrow, he forgot the reason though. "You know what? I think i will spend the night if you don't mind, I am tired and don't have work tomorrow." He said.

"Where do you work?" Pinkie asked.

He then realized what he said, now what lie is he going to have to tell Pinkie. Then he considered telling her all about the portal and telling her to Pinkie promise never to tell anypony else, but then it faded as he tried to think of a place to tell her he worked at. He finally gave up and decided to get off of the subject. "Where do you suggest I stay tonight?" he said.

"You can sleep up in my room in the attic." Pinkie responded, apparently forgetting her previous question.

"Why, thank you" he responded and followed the pink pony upstairs and into the small room.

He sat down in the corner, if you could call it a corner, and watched Pinkie Pie curl up in her blankets.

For minutes he just stared at a stray party streamer laying still on the floor. Then the streamer moved. Did I just... no, it must be the wind. He decided to stare at it and focus on moving it to a certain spot. Slowly the streamer made its way to the spot he focused on. I did, didn't I? No, it must be a dream, I must have passed out in the corner. And with that he closed his eyes, believing it was a dream, maybe it was. The next thing he saw most definitely was a dream. He was back at the party with confetti and streamers all over the place. Then the streamers started dancing, literally. Then the room changed to Pinkie's attic and there was one lone streamer jumping up and down and all around.

"Play with me, I'm your friend" The streamer said as it pranced around the room, by the time it jumped up onto Pinkie's bed, it had morphed into a tiny Pinkie Pie.

"Play with me, or I will play with you." the now-tiny-Pinkie-Pie said as it continued hopping around on the bed. The scene shifted again. This time he was hovering over the metal building that the portal was nestled inside. The building collapsed as the portal grew and grew. Soon he was in space and he saw Earth and Equestria colliding with a loud rattling noise that woke him up dead from his sleep.

Again, he was in Pinkie's attic, most likely awake for he felt drowsy. He looked around, it was still nighttime. What if this all is a dream? What if I'm in a coma? What if I wrecked my vehicle during the storm the other day? These thoughts rushed around in his head for a little bit before he found himself above Earth looking at a huge yellow shockwave of light slowly wrap itself around the Earth. He soon was catapulted through many different images of the portal finding ways to destroy Earth and Equestria. Each minute dragging out and feelings of loss and fear enveloping him.

He couldn't stop the barrage of doomsday scenarios that pelted him every second. A very creepy sounding voice sounded "You can not stop the inevitable. Destiny has been written." With that, he jumped straight up from his sleep. Nearly loosing his balance and falling onto his face, fortunately he didn't because he saw cyan eyes staring right at him. "Hi Pinks."

"Whoa..." Pinkie lost her balance. "You scared me." she said in a shaky tone.

"I'm sorry, I just had the worst nightmare ever." he said.

"Me too, all my friends abandoned me and left me to rot in a giant cupcake." she said, then added "you are my newest friend, right?"

"Yes, and I do hope your dream doesn't come true, or mine."

"It's breakfast time, come downstairs."

༺࿇༻

After being filled up of pancakes of all kinds, he decided to head over to Fluttershy's to ease his mind. Once he got there the door opened before he could even knock. "Come quick, it's important." the Pegasus said as she pulled him in and closed the door. She practically whispered the next line. "I heard some noises in the woods last night and went to check what it was. I saw another one of your kind roaming about. I was too scared to call out to him so I just watched. Eventually he made his way back through the portal but he definitely knows about this place now."

This wasn't what he expected. A nightmare and now this? What else is going to rattle him this morning. "Um, maybe he won't come back. I hope he doesn't, because one human running around in Equestria is enough." he responded. "What time is it?"

"Nine twenty... two in the morning." Fluttershy responded.

He looked at his watch. 8:36 A.M. it said, it was 46 minutes behind. Well if we went though a portal to another world, of course the time will be more or less off. He thought and slowly dismissed it.

"What do you want to do? Find a way to close it?" she asked.

"Probably, but I had the worst nightmare about all the possible ways this portal can destroy Earth and Equestria, we shouldn't be doing anything until we know more about it." he responded.

"Well, how would we close it, should I tell Twilight?" she asked.

"NO" He shouted, sending Fluttershy backwards at the sudden outburst. "She can't know about this. Knowing her, she probably would preform endless experiments on it, what if it is volatile? It could explode if she does the wrong thing, I don't want to risk it yet. You are the only one who knows about where I really come from, and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible."

"So, how are we going to stop it?" she asked.

"Well, I don't think we can, and it's not doing anything destructive yet, is it?" David responded.

"No..." she said shakily.

And they both continued to ponder ways to stop it, or keep people from using it. David decided to go back to Earth, to a Wallmart to buy a lock and some other things for his house, he also bought a few portable security cameras that ran on long lasting batteries. While in town, he got a bite to eat for lunch and was back at home. It was 2:00 by now and he began watching television. It talked about the storm a few days ago. It is strange they are still talking about it. And then it was revealed. This storm was the most powerful storm in recorded history.

It didn't seem that bad when he remembered it. But the news says the storm intensified and tore through Saint Joseph, Missouri, leaving a trail of debris and minor destruction. The news people explained the 'powerful' was the frequency of lightning strikes per minute per mile. Then he began surfing channels like a ping pong ball, bouncing from one to another.

Eventually it was time for supper. He ate some leftovers, surfed more boring channels and then got tired of them. It was nowhere close to bedtime so he paced the floor of his house. He pondered the nightmare from last night, then he went back to the memory of the streamer. He sat down and stared at a paper towel that he tore and placed on the dinner table. For minutes he focused on the paper towel to move, but as expected, it didn't even budge. If it wasn't a dream, why can't I move it now? he wondered.

David sat there, letting his mind wander. Then he noticed it was time for bed, so he went up into his room and slept. He has a rather blank sleep until the metal cylinder came into view. He watched as glowing purple and cyan fog emerged from the building, slowly spreading until the entire ground was covered. When he looked around, the scene went black. From then on there were no more dreams.
