Staying up late yet again for New Year's, I walk to the bathroom to check myself over. My blue eyes look back at me mischievously. What? This mirror is rigged... It looks back at me with a sinister smirk and I start to panic... Fuck, I think it might be alive. I run downstairs and get my father's sniper rifle out of the basement. Man it's so dark down here, I don't like this one bit. I hear creaks and cricks which are red flags for a paranoid person like me. I gotta find that rifle, and fast! I walk down the last of the steps to find a half empty garage with a bunch of medium sized crates. One of the crates is marked 'MRE', while the others are marked 'Ammo' 'Weapons' and 'Survival Gear'. I still don't get why my parents had to be so organized. It's kinda annoying because sometimes I can barely find anything if it isn't in the marked location. Anyways we are getting off topic here. I open the Weapons crate and find the rifle (It's a Barrett m82 .50 caliber rifle) has been cleaned recently and is unloaded. I walk a little to my left where the ammo crate is and open it to search for the .50 cal magazines. Ok there they are, right under the 308 rounds. I pick up the magazine and take it to where the gun is still lying and push it into the clip, making a satisfying clicking sound. Ok I should be safe now let's go see if the mirror is still freaky.

After I have done the tedious task of turning off the lights down stairs, closing the doors, and carrying a 30 pound sniper rifle (That's fucking heavy!) up the stairs and into the bathroom, I still see my reflection looking impatient this time.

"Well? You gonna do something or do I have to kill you?" That is one creepy fucking mirror... I set up the Barret so it is aiming straight in between the mirror doppelganger's eyes. I pull the trigger and wait for the mirror to shatter and this nightmare to end, but instead I feel myself being lifted off the ground.

"What is happening to me?!" I cry, struggling to get back onto safe ground, but it is all for nothing as I am thrown through the mirror and it feels like one of those cheesy dimension traveling scenes from a movie. Everything fades to black and I am knocked unconscious.

12 hours later

It must have all been a nightmare is the first thing I think as I get out of my bed. Wait a minute this isn't my bed! I trip onto a carpet and hit my head. Ow.. I rub the spot I hit with my hoof? Wait hoof? I detract my hoof and inspect it. Damn I already miss my hands. Footsteps or was it hoofsteps now, start getting louder and louder until I see a... is that a unicorn standing in front of me? No fair, she's a unicorn but I'm just some weird horse!? I don't know what to do right now... She is looking at me quizzically as I just stand there, well kinda and go into shock. No! I swear I haven't done drugs or anything like that! There is a real life unicorn that is pink with a white mane and some mark on her flank I assume.

"I didn't do the drugs I swear!" I cry before trying to run but I don't know how to walk quadruped... I really wish I had a mirror so I could see myself though. I feel something on top of my head have do something and then a mirror appears in front of me showing I'm an... ALICORN!!!

A grey alicorn colt with a black slicked back mane and a picture of the Legendary difficulty from halo on my flanks.

Well this is awkward and I think I just did magic. Note to self: You apparently just think of what you want and it happens. Okay so how am I going to do this. I get onto my hooves and stumble a bit until I get used to walking like this when I notice she is right in front of me.

"Uhh...Hi?" I squeak awkwardly. Why is she looking at me like that? Oh my god she's getting closer but I don't know what to do! She then nuzzles me??

"Hi! my name is Silky Tulip. What's yours?" Weird name but ok.

"Brandon." What? Is there something wrong with my name?! You are the one with the weird name here. She gives me a weird look I barely notice for a second until her cheerful expression returns.

"Ok, now why were you in my bed and where are your parents?" She scolds.

"I...I don't know... I haven't seen my Dad in a long time and I never saw my mother." I whimper. She scoops me up and gives me a hug. We stay like this for a moment until I talk again.

"I don't know how I even got here... It's like this is a whole different universe."

"Yeah I haven't seen any alicorn colts before, so that seems a little weird but might make sense. Do you know Princess Celestia or Princess Luna?" Those names don't sound familiar at all.

"No and I've always wanted a mother..."

"How old are you?"

"I'm 16 years old. Oh and I need to know where I am..."

"Ok, um you are in Canterlot which is part of Equestria."

"Never heard of it." She gasps and for a second I think she is going into shock, but then again alicorns might only be native to Equestria anyways. I can already sense that this place may have weird things as a normality. A knock comes at the door and Tulip snaps out of her trance.

"Be right back, I have to get my daughter. I'm coming Windflower!" She says as she leaves the room. I just stand there without a purpose as I hear the sounds of a conversation echoing throughout the hallways of her house. I guess it wouldn't hurt to leave the room. Then again when do I ever see harm in the fact that curiosity killed the cat. I pass through the first yellow hallway and see a golden unicorn filly with an elegant blue mane. I keep walking through the hallways and looking through the rooms though there are not many. Just not enough to get by it looks like.

"Mommy who is that?" Windflower points a hoof at me.

"Oh, his name is Brandon." She says.

"Wait...is he AN ALICORN!?! I thought only the princesses were alicorns!!!" She marvels at me making me feel special.

"Why are the only alicorns princesses? I'm so confused. I don't want to be a princess..."

"But aren't you a prince?" Tulip asks.

"Uh...no?" I laugh awkwardly.

*Thud Thud Thud* The door is knocked on heavily, so Tulip opens the door with her magic to reveal... two alicorns with flowing manes. Their jaws drop when they see me. Tulip and Wildflower bow which confuses me. I decide not to bow and instead just examine them.

"What? Was it something I did?" I am genuinely confused at their expressions right now. Their state returns after I say this but one of them, the bigger white one with the rainbow mane approaches me. I gotta do something and quick! Uh... shield? Nope didn't work. Shit she's getting closer.

"Stop, that's freaky." I say bluntly. She starts to lift me into a strange looking carriage, and my thoughts start racing. Why I am here? I thought i would go into the future NOT the past!
