My little Escapade

“Um... What?” I slowly let the door open.

“How about,” I take a step closer. “you get the fuck out of here,” Another step. “before I make you?” I take another step closer, and Twilight takes a step back. “The last thing I want to do right now as talk to any of you.” That left Twilight a little scared and dumbfounded.

“I… uh… heh...” I snort, turn around, and walk back inside.

“Uh… W-wait!” I freeze and turn my head around very slowly.

“What?”

“W-we just… We just wanted to say.. we’re sorry.” I huff in response, turning my head back around and storm back inside, slamming the door behind me.

*Fucking sorry my ass.* I think, at this point one would think that I need to calm down. And what I have to say to that is: Try running away from those horny cunts and then get impaled onto a fucking branch right bellow your ribcage, get back to me when that happens. *I need a fucking nap.*

~Again? I’m sorry but that seems a little odd to me~

*Well you’re not human, you’re a fucking rock, of course you would think that.*I get no response.

-Don’t mind him Ruby, he’s just really pissed at the moment,-

*No shit peabrain.*

-He just needs to calm down a little. Just don’t talk to him and you’ll be fine-

~I see…~ I make it into my room and flop onto my bed. Closing my eyes and soon fall asleep…

“Ember! Come back!” I hear the girls yell. I ignore them and walk deeper into the forest.

*Those ponies can go fuck themselves, causing me all this pain for nothing, first the yelling, then all the fighting, then losing my fucking wings!* I slam my fist into a tree, promptly shattering it’s midsection into hundreds of splinters and pieces of bark. “And now this bullshit.” I look the log sticking out of my chest. I pull it out with my magic, not even flinching. “Ugh I wonder how I’ve be able to put up with shit as long as I did. Makes me think why Golden loves being here. Maybe he doesn’t truly realise what’s happened to me here. And to think I haven’t even thought about going back home yet. Nagh, that’d be another set of problems to deal with.” By now the forest has disappeared and nothing is left of it, save for the dirt path I’m walking. I was too enveloped within my own thoughts to notice.

*I don’t know what to do. It’s either stay here and endure god knows what else is going to happen and probably die, or go back home and become a media sensation. I don’t want to do anything else that will fuck things up even more. Fuck...*

-Ok, you really need to calm down now.-

“How can I!? I don’t know what the fuck to do! I’m totally lost and anything I do will just fuck things up even more! Urgh!” I made a move to punch another tree, but instead of wood my balled fist meet air, making me stumble a bit. “What..?” I look around. “Oh yeah, that’s right, napping. Maybe I can..?” I snap my fingers and the void is replaced with a beautiful forest, neatly light by the white sun and a smooth shallow river splashing nearby. A slight breeze was passing by, making the leaves of the trees rustle in the background. I sit down, crossing my legs. I close my eyes and begin to breath at a slowed pace.

“Is this what you do to calm yourself?” A feminine voice says.

“Yes, Luna. And it’d be nice if you would stop sneaking up on me like that. Last thing I need is more stress.”

“I know, I saw your dream.” She walks closer to me and sits on the patch of grass next to me. I scoot away a bit. “What?”

“Forgive me for acting like that, but with what has happened earlier, I’m not too keen on being close to ponies at the moment.”

“I understand.” She says plainly.

“I’m sorry Luna. Ok?” I says with a strained voice. “Ever since I got here it’s mostly been nothing but pain and suffering.” I start to pace. “First the high-pitched yelling, then fighting. God fucking lord all the fighting. And then getting my fucking wings torn off, after that being turned into a slime creature. And now this bullshit! The apparent ‘heat’ made it worst for me.” I huff out a few breaths. I then look to Luna, who’s eyes were a little wide and looking at me.

“What?”

“No pony has ever talked to me like that.”

“Oh, and now you hate me for it right?” She quickly shakes her head.

“No, it’s quite refreshing. Not being referred as ‘princess’.”

“Well good for you, if you don’t mind I’m just going to walk away now.” I turn away from her and walk deeper into the forest.

“I see that you are a little irritated right now.”

“No really? I didn't think you would catch on.” I say with heavy sarcasm. “Im in my own dream, trying to calm down after dealing with being impaled onto a log in a failed attempt to get away from six fuck-hungry ponies that would do god knows WHAT to me!” I got close to her face as I ranted. Finishing a few inches away from her muzzle, I huff and back away. “Of course I’m a little irritated right now. Because of all this bullshit I’m left with nothing to do but stay trapped in my own home because I don’t know how to handle this! Hoohoo of course I’d be mad, maybe even downright pissed to an unholy extent! Who the fuck knows what’s going to happen at this point. The worst I could hope for is me resenting you ponies and tacking a first-class ticket out of here. But there’s the ultimatum; go back to my home world and become the biggest media sensation next to furries and be tested on again after the fucking crazy-as-fuck nut jobs find me again. Or stay here and-”

“Ember!”

“WHAT!?”

“Calm down! This is not like you at all!” I pause and sigh.

“Fuck… I do really need to calm. I was having a breakdown wasn’t I?”

“I wouldn’t say that, it was more like… You decided to go into a ranting session.”

“Yeah, ok… I do feel a little better now.”

“Wait, that actually did good for you?”

“Yeah. I feel a little calm now. I guess I just needed someone, uh, pony, to rant to.”

“So it seems.”

“I just… Do you what to do at this point?” Luna looks to the ground, a hoof scratching under her chin.

“Well, to begin with. You need to speak with Twilight and her friends, and hear their side of the story.”

“Something I’m mostly willing to do now.”

“Good.”

“Is that all you think I need to do?” She shakes her head.

“The last thing you need to do; Is forgive them.”

“Something I’m finding harder to do as more time passes.”

“Trust me Ember. Everything will be ok.”

“That didn’t sound creepy at all.”

“You do know what I mean. Don’t you?” I nod.

“Yes, I do. It’s just this is gonna be a little difficult for me.”

“I know, but as your friend, you need to do if you ever want to move on.”

“I know. Thanks.” I grab Luna and hug her, I needed a hug too. Luna just stays there, limp in my grasp. Eventually she hugs back. We stay like that for a few minutes and step back. “Wow, I feel a whole lot better now.” Luna just giggles. “What?”

“You humans are interesting creatures.” She smiles.

“Heh.” That was a little unexpected of her, kinda left me flabbergasted. “So are you ponies. Though, they’re more of an annoyance at this point. You know I had to run and teleport around this place just to get away from the others?” Luna honds in the affirmative. Then lets out a little giggle. “Whatever. Anyway, what do we do now?”

“Now, you have to go talk to Twilight and her friends.” Everything starts to fade. Just like time we talked. “Bye Ember.”

“Later Luna.” My vision goes black…

I open my eyes and get up from bed, feeling refreshed and relaxed. And good god I feel better, my stomach isn’t churning and my eyes don’t hurt anymore. What? My eyes hurt whenever I get really mad. Yeah, anger fucks up your body. You didn’t know that? Wow, you’re either the happiest person alive

*Ok, ok. Just stay calm and everything should be fine. Everything should be fine.* I calmly get up from my bed walk upstairs and head outside. Not being one to waste time I take off. A few parchments and paper in my hand.

Just stay calm, just stay calm, just stay calm and everything will fly by. I’ve been repeating this mantra in my head for the last half-hour. I’ve already left all the notes telling the girls to come meet here, hopefully they all got to read them.

*Knock knock knock*

*Must be them, hopefully.* I use my magic to open the front door. “Come in.” I say just loud enough for them to hear. I hear hooves against wood flooring and the girls walk in slowly, Twilight is the first to notice me. She looks to the rest, motions them to follow her, and walks into the living room, followed by the girls. They all take the sofa across the room from me. Rainbow and Applejack sit on the floor beside the sofa as Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Fluttershy fill the thing. And then we just sit there, absolutely nothing being said. We stay like this for hours as it felt like at the time.

“Do you have anything to say for yourself?” I started with Rainbow Dash. She was who I was mostly angry at. She perked up when I spoke, but her ears folded and she looked down, clearly unsure of what to do or say.

“Uh…”

“Right, Twilight?” I look to said purple alicorn. She perks up, only her ears standing up. But they quickly fold back down, and a sorrowful look takes her face.

“I’m sorry, we were all not thinking clearly, while we were in heat. I’m sorry.” Anyone can tell she felt awful for what happened. And that was enough for me surprisingly, I think I’m more pissed at rainbow than anything.

“Good, I accept your apology.” That made Twilight perk up, and a small smile curved her lips. “Applejack?” I turn to her. She looked up, a determined look on her features.

“Ah’m sorry for what I’ve done, I was not thinkn’ so clearly like Twi said. And Ah’m sorry fer chasn’ ya out ya own home and tellin’ Rainbow to go after ya, causin’ all that mess.” Her voice wavered at the end. Almost as if she didn’t want to remember that space in time. Heh. Funny. You always expect the hard-headed to be confident is these types of situations.

“Good, I accept your apology. Pinkie.” She flinches when I say her name. “I’m sorry.”

“... What?”

“I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have looked at you like I did. Sorry Pinkie.” It only took her zero point three seconds for her mind to process that and lunge to hug me. Knocking the chair I’m sitting on backwards. Her forelegs lock around my neck and her hind legs lock around the area just above my waist.

“I forgive you Emby! I could never be mad at you!” She nuzzles into the crook of my neck, her hair covering my face. It was then that I got a warm, fuzzy feeling. Something I’ve felt one other time on this planet. I couldn’t help but smile and hug back.

“Thanks Pinkie. But… can you get off me? You kinda have me pinned here.” The pink pony lets out a combination of a giggle and a snort and literally jumps off. I get up by teleportation and stand the chair up, and sit back down. A notable smile on my face.

“Uh, Ember, what are ya smiln’ about?”

“Nothing in particular, I’m just happy we were able to get this over with. Without any complications.”

“Does that mean you forgive us darling?”

“For the most part, yes.”

“Then what’s the other part? If, you don’t mind me asking..?”

“I don’t. I’ve just yet to hear from a certain cyan pegasus.” The girls and me look to Rainbow, she just has this dumb look on her face.

“Why are you all looking at me?”

“Maybe because you have cyan fur? I don’t know, it could be someone else.” The other giggle at my sarcasm. “If you haven’t guessed by now you’re the one I’m talking about.”

“Oh, um.” She pauses. “I’m sorry for hitting you into a tree...”

“What?”

“I’m sorry for hitting you into a tree.” This time we were able to hear her.

“And?” I add.

“And for fighting you that one time.”

“And?”

“And I’m sorry that I wanted to kill you when we first met.”

“And?”

“And what!? There’s like, nothing left for me to apologize for!”

“I was waiting for the one for being stupid. But I’ll let it slide this time.”

“Oh… Hey!” Me and the girls laugh at Rainbow’s expense. Ending this day on a definite good note.

“So the only reason you all managed to not jump me the other day was a spell?”

“Yes. I forgot I knew that spell.” Twi blushes. “It would’ve been easier for all of us if I remember that spell.”

“Yes it would’ve. Yes, it, would have.”

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

“Shoot.”

“What?”

“It’s how I say, ‘go ahead’.”

“Oh, ok. I just, was it really that easy to forgive us?”

“Not exactly, When I left you guys in the forest I met up with Zecora. We talked for a bit and I left after a while. As soon as I got home I decided to take a nap, still pissed at what happened that day. Luna joined me in my dreamscape and we talked for a bit. And from there she helped me calm down.”

“Oh, huh...”

“I know, it’s pretty coincidental. Isn’t it? You ponies drive me to near insanity, and then Luna comes in to save me from insanity.”

“Wait, insanity? Why do you say that?”

“I was worrying too much about the whole thing I was beginning to think of the worst possible outcomes. And with knowing nothing of what ill or might happen, it didn’t help but make things worse.”

“Oh.” She mulls that over for a minute. “Are you humans always like this?”

“What is that supposed to mean?”

“Sorry, it’s just… I’m really curious as to how humans behave.”

“Oh. Oh! Speaking Of behaviors, how is that Aj got back so quickly?”

“Oh, Applejack knew she was going to go into heat so she decided to only go to Appelosa for a short time and come back.”

“But… Then what about Golden? I haven’t seen him for about two weeks now.”

“Oh yeah! He wanted Applejack to tell me to tell you that he went back to his homeworld to see his family again.”

“Oh, cool. Did Aj go back to Appleloosa?”

“Yes, she did.”

“Ah ok. When will she be back then?”

“She should be back by tomorrow. She left right after you called us to check up on Applebloom and her friends.”

“Alright.” A pony walked up to the table we were sitting at, a large platter in his left hoof holding two plates. One plate carries a simple salad, the other displays a small pile of hay, few flower petals and other things I can’t identify.

“The food you order, sir.” He hoofs me the salad.

“Thank you.”

“And the Haybale Special for you, ma’am.” The waiter hoofed Twi the other plate.

“Thank you.” The waiter bowed and walked off to serve some other ponies. We then dig into our food. You know, they make wonderful salads here. I just wish there was some meat around here.

“Hey Twi.”

“Mm?”

“You know where I can get some meat?” She gasps, but chokes of the hay she was eating.

“W-what!?” All the ponies around us look at us while Twi takes deep breaths.

“You remember me saying humans are omnivorous right?” Twi wheezes a bit more.

“*cough* Right.”

“So where can I can my hands on some meat?”

“Not around here, but I can ask the Princess to deliver some… meat to your house.”

“If it’s not much of a bother.” I say.

“Oh it won’t be.” With a pop a scroll and quill appear in front of Twi in her magic. THe feather dances on the scroll and the parchment rolls up. A purple laces ties around the center and the thing poofs away. I assume she sent it to Celestia.

“No matter how many times I see that I’m always gonna be amazed.”

“Hm. It’s quite understandable considering humans don’t have magic. Although, it’s interesting you’ve learned how to use most of your magic in ways it would take years for any scholar to master.”

“I think that has to do with the possible fact that I’m making my own rules for magic here.”

“What?”

“I’m basically saying I think I’m make up my own ways and rules of using magic. You’ve seen that I just snap my fingers and the spell I want just casts itself. Right?” She nods.

“Yes, I have. I wonder if that means humans do have their own variant of magic. Maybe there are some books in the Canterlot Library about this.”

“Oh.” A certain memory rockets to the front of mind. “Wait, Chrysi said there were humans on this planet at one point.”

“Who?”

“The changeling who lives with me?”

“Oh, right. Wait, she said humans did exist here?” I nod.

“Yeah, her mother would tell her stories about us in ancient times. From she’s told me we were here at some point before the greeks.”

“The what?”

“It’s an ancient time-period thousands of years old back on Earth.”

“Oh. But still how could she and her mother know about this and not us?”

“I don’t know, I’m finding it hard to believe too. But I can’t help but think that this all makes sense in a way.”

“Why do you think so?”

“Archeologists, you what those are right? Ok, anyway, them and some other scientists have been looking for evidence of the origin of the human race. And nothing has come up, even after hundreds of years of research. Which lead a lot of theorists to think that we didn’t originate on the planet we live on.”

“So they think your kind was brought to the planet you lived on by some higher being?”

“Pretty much. It makes a sick sort of sense when you think about it.”

“I know, but why ‘sick’?”

“Because, if all of that is true. Then how and why were we sent to the world I was born on?”

“Hmm… Maybe I can ask Princess Celestia about this.”

“I already have. She says she doesn’t know anything about us in this world.”

“Really?” I nod. “Oh… Hmm… Then how would changelings know about humans?”

“I don’t know, the only theory I got is that they’ve been around longer than before Celestia’s rule.”

“That could be it.”

“You think you can find out?”

“I can always ask.”

“Could you please?” I ask.

“Of course!” Another paper and quill appear in front of Twi.
