Chapter 1: Protagonists and sidekicks
It was a cold, dark night. A storm was just brewing overhead. I then suddenly heard a scratching at the door. I was very suspicious at first, but then realized that it must not be anything abnormal. So I proceeded through the hallway, taking a left turn. at the front door, I placed my shaking hand to the door handle, and pulled...
"Woof!" Barked a large, brown and black German Shepard. False alarm, it was only Tweak, my trusted pet dog. He is very smart sometimes, and once even managed to have a bath all by himself. that was quite a night. I am much of a night owl, me. I do not tend to sleep much. But anyway, I then closed the door and then said cheerily "Why hello there, Tweak!"
"Woof!" was all I got. Well, contradictory to what I may have said earlier, I think its time to hit the hay. Get it? Hay? No? Well... Okay then... I'll shut up.
So me and Tweak both walked up the large center staircase to bed. What a nice mansion I have. I am an incredibly successful buisnessman on Earth. I am very well-liked and appreciated. I would not leave this world for anything. Nothing at all.
When we reach the master bedroom, Tweak departs off to the small room next door. It is just a small room, for him to play in. So I entered the bedroom and got changed out of my casual clothing into a more comfortable pajama set. Camoflauge, as I Iike being reminded of my army days. Officer Luke, the best officer there was.
I then shut the blinds, got into bed, and covered myself over with the blankets. Ah, bliss. Nothing but my bed and my dreams. I love it. I soon drifted off to sleep, after having a very strange feeling of being watched, and shrugging it off as being 'just the cold draught that I need to fix'.
Blackness... Silence... Bliss. It was gorgeous, sleep. Except when you hear dark chuckling and then a different, much eviller chuckle. Or was it two? or three? I don't really know, because it sounded like somebody speaking loads of voices through one mouth.
Then... I see a strange figure, which then forms into two. As they approach me, I finally see some shaping. They look like some sort of cartoonised horses, with great long waving manes flowing out behind them. As they further approach, I finally see some colour. The one on the left is of the purest white, and the mane tail are of assorted colours. The other, on the left, is a little bit smaller than the white one, but black. with a very dark blue mane and tail. They finally stopped. It reminded me of that TV show my sister liked. Now, what was it called? I can't remember. But all that I can see now, is these two horses.
The white one then said mystically, "Luke... We need you..."
"W-w-why?" I asked, giving them both a wait-how-do-you-know-my-name expression.
"We will explain later." Replied the white one, ignoring my expression.
"B-bu--" I was cut off my the black one.
"Just come." Sternly stated the black one.
So I reluctantly followed. "What's the deal with you two... Horses then? Why can you talk? Why are you here? why--"
"Shhh..." Silenced the black one, whilst the white one stifled a giggle.
"Okay then... So, who are you?" I asked.
"That's better." Replied the white one.
"So tell me then! Before I go and ask the writer!" I said, frustratingly.
"Shhh! Don't break the fourth wall here!" Glared the black one, causing the white one to laugh a little louder than before.
"I am Princess Luna, Princess of the night." Explained the black one, now called Luna.
"And I am Princess Celestia, Princess of the day." Explained the white one, now called Celestia.
"Well you already know my name, so there is no point there." I say, earning yet another giggle from the giggle-nator 2000. "Oh and, where am I going?"
"To Equestria, of course!" Said Celestia after calming. And how much cheesier could names ever get? Next there will be something like ponyville... Wait... At the mention of Equestria, I just suddenly remembered.
"MY LITTLE PONY!" I blurt out, which startled both of them. And after that random mention, nobody spoke for the rest of the journey throughout the strange black tunnel. Until at the end, when Celestia said,
"See you soon!" And disappeared along with Luna. Then I realised that I was no longer inside that strange super-tunnel, but in a huge, dense forest, of which I was lost in. I stood up, and realised that I was still human, thank... Well whatever their god is.
I suddenly heard a rustle from behind one of the bushes. I suddenly switched to war soldier mode, and was listening out for more noise. Rustle... Rustle... There it is again! I must be brave and alert... surprise attacks are probable in a place like this.
I suddenly see a glint of green harlequin eyes, but then blink and they are gone. What was that? I thought. Getting out of my fighting stance, yet still with my brain on high alert for any signs of movement other than mine. I see bright blue and whip around... Only to see a butterfly... I am a fool... Suddenly, I remembered "Tweak!" I exclaimed.
And suddenly, Tweak appeared from behind the bushes. I just stood and stared... Okay... What the heck? I think, toatally mind-boggled. I shrug it off, pet my dog and carry on walking. At least I have a companion now. Was my thought at that time. Oh how right was I. Or wrong? Who knows. I just have one thing on my mind at this moment: Why?
But I have one philosophical answer for that. Why not?
