A Gentleman in Equestria

Chapter 1: A choice of dimension

A/N: I've edited this chapter, fleshing it out, hopefully making it less fast paced. Also, writing gets better at chapter 3, so please at least read up to that.

'Ugh,' I thought, 'I should have been asleep hours ago. I'm gonna regret this in the morning'. I looked again at my clock: 2:36am, I've been awake for 3 hours longer than I should. Getting up for college at 7 o'clock is going to kill me.

    'I've only myself to blame.' I told myself, as I stored away the tablet which I had been using to surf the web, 'One more fanfic, great idea Brian. Now you're gonna feel like shit when you wake up'. I walked back acroos the room, lay back down in my bed and closed my eyes. Moments later, the grip of sleep pulled me under.

*Beep! Beep! Beep!* *SMACK!* *Yawn*

'I hate everything!' I thought, not being totally serious, as I dragged myself out of bed 'Way too little sleep!'. I dragged myself to the bathroom, pondering whether 4 and a half hours of sleep was healthy for a 18 year old.

    Ten minutes later, I was pouring myself a cup of coffee. 'Thank goodness for the joys of caffeinated beverages!' I thought, enjoying the brown nectar which I had procured. 'How the blend perfectly compliments itself, with the mixture of the bean and the flavouri-'

  "Shit! I'm late!" I yelled, seeing the time. "Goodbye sweet blend!" I said, already missing the brilliant taste of java. I rushed to the front door.

    "Bye Mum!" I called as I walked out the door "Love you!".

"...so there's an infinite number of universes. And they comprise everything that exists and can exist, every possibility and every idea has its own universe." I finished.

  "You're fucking kidding me Brian, you're not spouting this shit again?"

  "Yeah, we've told you before, we don't believe your fucking theory."

  "All right, all right. But it's so awesome to think that there's everything out there, in different dimensions." I replied.

  "Shut up! You're supposed to be working!"

I had a typical college day: usual lessons, usual teachers. To put it simply: boredom.

    I was walking back home, pondering whether I would need a nap due to my lack of rest, when the heavens opened. 'Typical English weather' I thought, 'raining all the fucking time'. I pulled up my hood, and continued walking.

    After several minutes walking, I had reached my house. I was left soaking from the rain, and my clothes were dripping. I shook my head, as a wet dog would, to throw some excess water off my hair. I also took off the jacket I was wearing, which was by now saturated with rainwater. I removed my shoes, which were also wet through, and headed upstairs.

    'Finally!' I thought, opening my bedroom door, 'time to relax and-'

"WHAT THE HELL!" I shouted.

    What I saw when I opened the door was not my room, it was not the room I left this morning in a horrible state of untidiness. All I saw before me was whiteness. A large expansiveness of nothing. Nothing at all. Nada. Not a thing. You get the picture.

    I could not believe what I was seeing. Where the fuck had my room gone? I took a step back through the door, but on the other side was more whiteness, replacing the hall that lead to my room.

  "Where the heck is my house?!" I said aloud, not comprehending anything that was happening, "am I dreaming or something?". I pinched myself just to make sure I was still experiencing reality.

"Ouch. Yeah, this is definitely real."

    "Brian Hamilton!" came a booming voice that startled me. I looked around for the source of the voice, but I saw nothing but the door to my room, standing there in the vast sea of white nothingness. "Brian!" the voice boomed again "pay attention boy!" I whipped around, to survey my surroundings. I still saw nothing.

  "What the hell is happening?" I asked, thinking aloud.

  "I am the Creator. And I am trying to give you a very special gift!" the voice said, impatiently, "just be quiet!" Confused beyond comprehension, I did the only thing available, and obeyed, ready to listen what 'the Creator' had to say.

"Good." the Creator said, seeming calmer than before "now, Brian, you know of the multiverse theory, don't you?" I nodded, the same theory I told my friends about a few hours earlier, "Well, my boy, it's not a theory. It's true," the Creator said.

  "Ok." was all I had to say, before the words processed, "Wait... True? FUCK YES! In your face Ryan!" (It is a great feeling, knowing you are right.)

    That was one question cleared up in my mind, but there were more.

  "I know I've said I wanted a bigger room but this is ridiculous!" I stated. "I mean, where is this?" I gestured the the expanse of nothing,

  "Well you see, there's an explanation for that." the Creator responded "Right now, you are in a different dimension. It is the same place, at the same time, but in a different dimension."

  "Ok, that seems a legit excuse... for now." I said.

  'That's that cleared up too.' I thought. I then voiced my final question. "So what is this gift you speak of?"

  "Well, you Brian, and select others in your world, believe in the multiverse theory, a theory that many disapprove of. For this enlightenment and faith in this fact, I am allowing each of you to choose a dimension in which to live in." the Creator said.

    I processed this new information for a moment, then:

  "Wait, so you are saying I have the choice to live in ANY dimension I want?" I questioned, clarifying his offer.

  "Yes," the Creator replied "I am allowing you to move to a different dimension and live the rest of your days there, or to stay where you are, and live your life in your home world."

"Shit, man. This is amazing." I said, thinking of places I could go. According to the multiverse theory, I could go anywhere, any idea, any possibility. Then, I landed on a possibility I was completely happy with, a perfect decision, a brilliant world of love and tolerance. "Could you send me to Equestria?" I asked.

  "Yes, I can do that." the Creator responded, "Goodbye, Brian."

"Wait, I'm going now?" I inquired. I was taken aback at how fast this was going.

"Yes." the Creator stated, straight to the point. I scrunched up my eyes, and braced myself, ready for the teleport to a brand new world.

"...and so class, if you divide by si- AHHH! Who are you!" an unfamiliar voice said. I opened my scrunched up eyes to see a pony glaring at me, confused and angry. Wait, A PONY?

  'Holy crap! It worked!' I thought. I looked down and saw that I no longer had feet, but hooves, and my legs were covered with black fur. 'And I'm a pony too!'

"Well? Out with it colt! What's your name?" the pony asked. 'Shit, Brian, think' I said inside my head 'Brian Hamilton is not a name fit for a pony'. I thought, and landed on a name I was happy with.

"Archimedes Micro." I said to the pony.

"Well Archimedes, can you tell me why you interrupted my class?"

A/N: So that's the edited chapter. I hope it's better than what it used to be! I've also edited Chapter 2, so please read on. I've got a lot planned for this.
