Chapter 1 – This Strange New World

In my mind, I felt like I was in cryogenic sleep for many years but in reality it was about 30 minutes. I tried moving my body only I felt weak and tired for some odd reason. Whatever happened to me at least I know that I’m ok.

"Wait a minute." I thought to myself.

Last thing I remembered was that I was fighting with Jason and that I was finally going to get rid of him, only for Vincent to be in the way and that something blinded me and knock me out.

"God everything hurts so badly. " I complained in my head.

I get up and got on my knees while my body was still shaking after whatever event happed to me. I know that I should have just stayed down but I still had some unfinished business to take care of. With all my might I finally stand on my two legs. I check my entire body to see if I had any injuries when I was knocked out for God knows how long.

When I realized that I was fine, I didn’t notice where I was and when I looked around, my eyes must have deceived me or playing tricks on me. I was standing in the middle of a grass plain that highly resembled a country side unlike where I was previously. In front of me I see a tree, behind it was more grass and a mountain with a castle?

That’s when I realized to myself that I wasn’t in a hospital or in fact this place looks nothing like where I was at the time. No tall buildings, no noise of cars and no people. To be honest I was glad there weren’t any people around or that this place doesn’t look like a crap hole.

This place looks like industry hasn’t touch this for years. All of what I’m seeing is hard to believe. What I see in this place, it somehow calms me down like all the anger inside me just started to dissipate. In fact, the air was clean that I almost forgot to breathe in. When I inhaled the air, it was clean and that the winds were calm and moderate. Hell the temperature of this place is a lot warmer.

In the back of my mind I know that this was a place where I didn’t belong or I might have been unconscious and made this place up but the other half of me was saying …

“This place is amazing.” I said while I spread my arms and let the suns embrace warm me.

For once in my life, I was in peace with everything that was surrounding me. The birds chirping, the cool wind in my hair it was all soothing every negative thought in my head had been gone with just the mere sight and smell of this place.
I believed that I didn’t want this dream or what I believe it is to end, but I sighed and told myself that all good things had or must come to an end at some point.

"Always have always will be in my life. " I complained.

So I stopped my enjoyment and look around to my surroundings. As I was looking around, all that was bothering me was that castle in the mountains. Why it was bothering me was that I never seen a castle before just in fairy tales or books about other countries.

"I swear I’ve seen this place before, I just can’t remember." I look around some more to see if there was anybody or maybe even some civilization I can talk to. Sure enough, behind me was a town that looked somewhat friendly. But then again, “somewhat” is going to get me into some trouble or have me arrested.

I talk to myself that there might be some positives and negatives to what might happen to me if I got anywhere close to the town. After some hard critical thinking, I mustered up the courage to go in this town so I can ask the people where I am.

I manage to get to this town and I have to say it’s a little too… colorful. I mean I wasn’t complaining that this whole world’s beauty, but this place looks like it came from a girl’s imagination. Now I really am starting to have doubts about this place but what other options did I have?

I looked around this place to see if there was anyone I can talk to. Unfortunately, not a single person I see in sight. I even knock on the doors of houses even businesses’ to see if anybody was there but nope just nothing.
Jesus, I never thought a town this colorful would feel like a ghost town.

“I feel like I’m in silent hill right now.” I joked to myself.

I still keep a look out to see if there’s ANY living life form. Hell, I’ll talk to an animal like a dog or a cat at this point so they can take me or point to where there masters are.

I have been walking for about a few minutes and now I’m starting to get creeped out. I found a cart that was filled with apples. At first, I didn’t want to eat them because someone must have been selling them and I didn’t want to steal from them.

But my appetite got the best of me and my stomach began to rumble.

"Fine I’ll buy two, you little bitch. " I insulted myself.

I dig to my back pocket and found my wallet. I check it to make sure that the contents in my wallet haven’t been stolen. Thankfully, all my money was still intact.

“Let’s see now how much are these? “I look around to try and find what the price was and I found nothing. All I see was a sign that has gold coins that reads…

“hmmm?” In fact it was just gibberish. I couldn’t decipher what it read all it showed was a picture of three gold coins.

“What the hell?!”

Whatever this place is, it must be out of the country or something because I never heard of a place that uses gold coins before. Nor any of these letters spell out anything.

Oh man how long was I out?" I was worrying in my head. If this place wasn’t the US, then… no this has to be some sort of prank or I might be unconscious. All I need is to find one person and make them tell me this is some sort of practical joke even if I have to beat the truth because this isn’t funny.

And until then, I’m taking these two apples for the road. I take one bite out of one of them and my taste buds must have exploded because something this good couldn’t be this sweet.

"Wow, these tastes amazing." I thought to myself.

The crunch sound was perfect which means it’s ripe and crisp. The taste was out of this world. It tasted sweet like candy.

“What’s the brands name?” I check the side to see if there was some sort of label to show where these apples came from. I found it and it reads…oh right forgot that I can’t read these. I am such a dumbass. I guess these were so good I forgot.

"Holy crap these taste delicious I need to know who sells these they sell a lot if they were well know. They’re awesome." I then proceed to keep on walking but not before taking a few more to enjoy these so called “apples of Eden”. I take a small picture of the label before I left. These apples need to be shared with the world.

After walking for another few minutes, I then see a building that looks like some kind of boutique. I never go to boutiques because the first time I ever been in one was with my aunt, little sis, and mom and guess who had to hold all the bags that where done. To add salt to the injury, IT WAS BORING. That’s when I made a reminder that I will never go to a boutique ever again. Until now.

I knock to see if there was somebody in there and thank God it was open. For once and this will be the last I’ll say this but

“Thank God for boutiques.” I said to no one.

As I go inside, all I can see was mannequins but there was something … different about them. They were in the shape of horses. Maybe this one boutique catered to only show horses. Weird but hey not my store, then I heard a voice somewhere.

“Hello. Is some pony coming in. Sorry we’re closed for the day for an event. ” Said the mysterious voice.

“It’s okay I’m just passing by but all I really need is some directions or in fact where I am?”

"So that’s why everyone wasn’t answering their doors. There off to some event. Must be why it’s so… What a minute did she say “some pony”?"

Maybe it’s just my imagination that’s all. When I licked my lips and I felt kind of dehydrated even if the apples I ate weren’t enough.

“But if you don’t mind the trouble, do you have some water I can drink. I’m kind of thirsty from…” I stop to try and think of an excuse so she doesn’t think I’m crazy or call the hospital.

“Hiking.” I face palm myself because she’s never going to believe that.

"Really that’s the best I can come up with."

“Oh then why didn’t you say so darling? And about that water and where you are yes it be most generous of me to help”. Say’s the mystery women in another room.

“Thanks “was all I can say.

I can’t believe she fell for that “hiking” bit. How gullible is she. I look around the store to see what kind of clothes she has other then what I saw in those mannequins or whatever she calls these things because I don’t care anymore at this point.

I have to say these outfits aren’t that bad. Shame these designs were made for a horse because if they were fit for a humans then she would be rich and have her own clothes line.

"Real shame" I thought to myself.

I then cross over to a chest that looked like it was holding or keeping something safe. I go to it and tried to lift the lid to see if it was open. Sure enough it was.

What surprised me next was that the damn thing was holding a chest filled with sapphires. It was a sight only a thief can bestow. Oh right forgot to mention this but I sort of delved in a few petty thefts, I got off with warnings, and such but I never had a record thanks to a certain family of mine.

I didn’t have much money on me and where I am might be far away from home, so I took a few handfuls just to be on the safe side.

Don’t judge me! The chest screamed take me and Sapphires are my birthstone. Sue me for all I care. And besides I might not see this woman again although at the time I didn’t know that and later on it’s going to bite me back.

I then hear her voice again “Where your visiting is none other than Ponyville and what you’re in is Carousal boutique “where everything is chic and Mani fique. “

I was wide-eyed at what my ears were hearing then I started to laugh.

“Seriously I need to know where I am. I’m in a bit of a rush here. My family might be worried where I am.” Really, I made a fool out of this chick; I’m not going to be out-punked by her. I knew I was being punked. Maybe she’s the hostess of this prank.

Then I start hearing footsteps but later they sounded like hooves. Then I hear a door opening.
“I’m serious this town is called…” I turn around to the sound of the door before she spoke. What happened next was that time slowed down when we first met.

What I saw was a small horse with a white coat and that her mane was a dark purple or a dark indigo. Not only was that, but a glass of water was floating right next to that thing. What was really strange was that the glass was surrounded by a light blue aura. What was also glowing was that horn on its forehead. I knew that her species was a unicorn because I read a few books and that I always wanted to see one in real life, but this is one of those moments that just hit you unexpectedly.

Then after a few seconds of staring, I let out a huge scream of terror and so did it. I rammed the front door and ran out of that boutique as fast as I could. I think I broke the hinges or something because when I looked back, the top looked cracked. I run to any sort of house to find sanctuary, but as I figure all the doors were closed.
I was really in desperate need of some sort of help because what I saw wasn’t real or was it? No I didn’t have time for whatever I saw, what I really wanted was to have some distance away from that thing and never come back ever again.

I find a tree that was big enough to be a house maybe even more. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if this was the home of the Keebler elves. Without hesitation, I climbed the tree so that thing doesn’t chase and kill me. As I climbed to what I believe was a safe and good hide out, I had a strong grip on the branch so that I can catch my balance on it and catch my breath. I needed to take a few small short breaths to make any sort of process of what just happened.

“Ok … ok let’s recap of what happened... I go to school, see Vincent kiss the hottest girl, punched Jason, challenged him then I was…” I stopped at the end when I realized that all these events don’t make sense. Why does everything always happen to me? Why me? am I just something the universe likes to make fun of or does do it for shits and giggles?

"What the hell is going on here? " I asked myself trying to come up with an answer.

“Wait a minute.” I dig into my pockets to see if everything I own was still in it, sure enough it was all there and accounted for. “My phone, my DS, chewing gum? And YES my knife”. Everything except the other two was at least enough to get me out of here. I took my phone and called my home phone, but then on the other side of the line it was nothing it said there was no signal anywhere here.

“Hold on, didn’t that unicorn say this place was called Ponyville.”

That’s when I made the connection that this place wasn’t California. In fact, this place looks way to happy and perfect. Sure Earth is beautiful and all, but it wasn’t anywhere as near nice enough as this. Hell I never heard of this place but for some strange reason unknown, I do I just can’t remember. The answer was at the tip of my tongue.

I couldn’t take this whole thinking thing anymore it was way too much to process and I felt fatigued since this morning. I need to sleep this through. So I decided to take a nap on the branch because when I wake up this whole plate of messes will just be a good dream gone badly. I close my eyes hoping that it’s just a dream… just a dream… a dream …. dream…dream.

Sometime later…

I start to hear sounds outside my mind then I heard a knock under me then it got closer, and another and another and anot…

"Clonk"

As soon as something hard hit me on my head, I lost balance and I was surprised I’m still sitting on a branch.

“SHHHHHHIIIIIIIIT!! “ I landed on other branches before I hit the ground. I landed on the first on my left arm, the other was on my stomach and to cause even more pain, I land the last one between my legs. When I hit the ground, I landed on my back. Pretty sure I heard a bone crack or two.

My field of vision stated to blur out as my world started to disappear. As I look at the night sky which was so beautiful, I see two dark silhouettes looking at me and one other. That’s when I thought

"Is this how I’m going to die? Never be recognize as anything? No, I was but to one person that he can recognize me as. An asshole." With my last words I whispered “I regret everything.” Just as I was about to fall into unconsciousness, my whole life began to flash before my eyes up to the beginning of this morning.

End of Chapter 1

Author's Note

Ghost Writer here and I would like to say hi to any reader/ follower that's reading this chapter. Thank you for putting the time for reading this story because I had this for a while after reading a few HIE stories. Most of the humans that go to Equestria are a bit of Mary sues or are way too forgiving to the characters if they made the humans life bad for them on accident. So I thought to myself, do you like where the humans can forgive even if most incidence are there fault or should they deserve a piece of the humans mind. Until next time, Ghost out.

Chapter 2 – My So Called Life

For those that are reading and are lucky to have stumble upon these pages, my name is David Grant. Since I was born, I had this birthmark on the center my right hand.

It looks like it has a sort of circle surrounded by eight razor curves. From what it looks like, it kind of looks like the sun. My dad has his on his back shoulder which of all the places in the body, mines had to be on my hand. My dad told me that the Grant family has had this mark since the colonization of the US.

He told me that one of us in the past fought in the civil war, well sort of. He didn’t remember the specifics, so I asked my grandpa what happened to him. What he can recall, was that he was missing for many years.
He was found a few years later, but then he was talking non-sense. Grandpa had a diary of Janis Grant, the wife of my great great grandfather before he went to the nuthouse.

It read that he believed that magic was real and he can use it too. No wait this gets worse, it also reads that he was in another world; a world filled with horses that were capable of flight, magic and get this, can talk too. Yeah I’m guessing he wasn’t all in there.

The reason why it’s bothering me is that a year ago, I was babysitting my little sister and she was watching this show called “My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic”. Ugh even talking about it made my skin crawl.

While I was looking after her or to say the least sleeping, she called me up to the living room and told me to come in. She pointed at the screen of the T.V to this white horse, she must have paused the show with the DVR. She told me that we have the same “Cutie mark’ which at first got me confused.

“A what mark? “
”A cutie mark” she response.

“You and Celesta have the same mark.” I look at the screen to see if she was pulling a lame prank. Sure enough she wasn’t kidding. I was shocked that that thing had my birthmark on its ass.

My sister told me she was an alicorn and that she was a princess that ruled over what I believe is called Equestria and that her student Twilight Sparkle learns and discovers the magic of friendship with her five friends. I don’t know I wasn’t even paying attention.

I thought for sure I was going to lose some brain cells or testosterone if she continues explaining to me the story or the purpose of the show.

So I say to her “It’s just a coincidence; anybody could have drawn something like that.”

She shakes her head and says “It can’t be anyone.”, so I reply there are a billions people on this planet so that means that there was a slight chance anybody could have gotten it. She then started saying “Princess, Princess, Davies a princess!”

It wasn’t a very good comeback but her little comment was going to get a piece of what's to come, but instead I stopped and turn to the remote and hit un-record to MLP: FIM and well that certainly got her to never sing it again or make me crabby.

God I really hope that no one thinks or finds out about this otherwise I’ll never hear the end of this. But I guess this is my so called life.

This morning I had a dream of San Francisco, my home city…and all its buildings including the bridge destroyed and set on fire like some sort of apocalypse movie. I was terrified, all I wanted to do was wake up but somehow I couldn’t. Then I saw myself lying on the ground being crushed by some sort of shadow silhouette looking down at me.

“This world will fall to me and you, the last of your kind will finally die.” The distorted voice commented.
Before I woke up, I had a small glimpse of what it looked like. It was sort of tall but if I were to stand up, it would be smaller than me. Also he looked like… I don’t know how to describe what he looked like but a bit…equine and it had some sort of horn on its forehead.

I woke up in an instant with sweat coming from my forehead.It was the second week of Monday thanks to my alarm clock showing the time and day. That meant that by the end of this month, I’ll be 18 and I’ll finally have some freedom once I graduate and go to college. In fact, I was sort of happy but I really didn’t care for parties even if it was my own as long as I get out and be my own man.

(Damn it this again? I had this nightmare for a whole week. I really need to check a therapist for this.)

“David your breakfast is ready” my mom said from across the hall.

As I wipe the sweat off me, I put my clothes and my favorite red hoodie on and headed for the kitchen. There we meet my family. Grandpa, Mom, Dad, and lastly Ruth, my little sister.

“So how’s you beauty sleep, sleeping beauty.” My sister asked chuckling at her joke.

I was about to yell at her for her comment but mom stopped me from doing so. She knows that I hate being called unmasculine or being called girly because of my red hoodie and my height would mistake me as a girl.
But mom doesn’t tolerate it in this apartment.

“Ruth what did we discuss about calling David a girl?”
“To not to.” She says sounding sad.
“Good. Now then what did I tell you about trying to prove something that isn’t worth your time and energy David? ”
“That it’s a waste of time.” I answered. Every. Damn. Time.
“Good.”

“Come on he was just trying to prove a point. I mean if some random guy were to…”

Oh god here we go. Another one of dads “What if…“scenarios. It’s not that there boring most of them, there are just to the point of ridiculousness as he goes along and that they go off into a tangent most of the time.

Even more surprising is after all these years, Mom and Dad have had a strong marriage. My mom’s a prosecutor, wait scratch that… the best prosecuting attorney this side of the bay. She has never lost a case in her career.

Also if I didn’t tell all of you, the readers before this, my family, well my mother any way, are rich. And thanks to her we have a lot of connections in San Francisco. Hell my uncle is the damn chief of police. Man Uncle Tommy is always the best.

My dad however is a defense attorney. Before that he was just a waiter at a small time coffee shop in Seattle. Nothing really special only he was ladies’ man until he met mom. She always puts the women who try to hit on dad in their place. She’s very scary if you ever cross her, trust me do your best to get her to like you or you will forever have nightmares of her.

My sister on the other hand though she can be a real pain in the ass, always trying to get me angry. But she’s ok but still pretty annoying to be around with.

Grandpa is awesome to talk to because he helped me with most of my history and other types of homework over the years. 7 years ago when I was ten, we lost grandma. I was in a dark place at that time, but grandpa helped me see through those years and I couldn’t ask for a better granddad.

Once I finished breakfast I caught a bus ride from my home to my high school. I’m a senior and it’s been one hell of ride, well, it would have if it wasn’t for HIM.

His name is Jason Walker he’s one of those people that has everything, looks and brains. He and I have a similar lifestyle except I got the short end of the straw. He’s been messing with me with his band of jocks which I call “his gorillas”; I’ve been calling them that for a while. But don’t worry I can always handle myself in a fight.

He and I go way back since elementary. I can’t believe myself that I thought of him as a friend. I was nice to him back then but as we got older, he wanted to hang out with his so called “cool” friends and used me as his pawn to get popular.

I wasn’t alone over those years in high school thanks to Vincent. I met him when we were still freshmen and months later he started following me after one of Jason’s cronies cornered him behind the school.

You can say I saved him but the real reason was because I just wanted to beat there asses. Why? Well I had a bad day at that time and fighting them was stress relief to me. Ever since that day, we started to become friends slowly. There’s just one problem that straight up annoys me about him.

He’s a coward for not standing up for his own. Seriously if it wasn’t for me, he would have been walked on by nearly everyone at school. To tell you the truth, I was never the social type to begin with ever since elementary through middle school to today. I just keep my distance and if they wanted a fight then I’ll bring it to them on a silver platter metaphorically and literally.

He also gave me warnings on what we shouldn’t do or places in the school we shouldn’t go where Jason hangs out. This really annoys me just because Jason acts like he’s royalty or thinks he owns the world, it doesn’t mean that he can push us around.

I always talked to myself that one day I’ll get him back for all those years of torture he has made my life a living hell aside from my own. That day had finally come.
Vincent and I were walking on our way to our classroom when something unexpected happened.

A big group of people were in our way and there were some yelling inside that group and I had to check what was happening. I know how much of a pussy Vincent was when it came to big crowds, so I grabbed him by the shirt collar and dragged him in.

“Come on let’s see what’s all the fuss is about.” I told Vincent.
“We really shouldn’t…” I interrupted him.
“Come on, do something for once in your life. It’s not like it’s going to kill you or anything.” I told him.
“Plus nobody will notice you in the crowd.”
“Fine but only for a few seconds we can’t let Jason see us.”
“Relax he’ll never see us though the crowds and if he does, I’ll distract him. Deal? ” I put my hand next to him waiting for his response.

He then shakes my hand and say’s deal.
We heard mumbles though the crowd saying “I can’t believe her.”,” Is he going to hit her?”, or” Well she’s as good as dead.”

We thought to ourselves and said in unison. “Who’s she?”

When we got to the center of the crowd we saw Jason talking to a girl. We didn’t see who she was but by what I can tell she must have pissed him off from the look on Jason’s face. I had small grin forming on my face. I really enjoy the misery of others especially if its Jason.

The girl in question was telling him that they were done for good but Jason said other whys.
“Oh yeah who’s going to take care of you huh!?” with all the rage Jason was holding.
She was rapidly searching for somebody then she turned around and then we saw her. Jeanne Fisher, an all-round knockout to all guys that talk to her. A star athlete on track & field, an all-star beauty, and a GPA of 3.5 on her grades.

She looks around to find somebody she was looking for I’m guessing she must have cheated on him at least that’s what I was guessing. But then she looks at us and runs straight towards us.
We must have been in her way so we moved a side. Instead she ran towards Vincent, grabbed him by the cheeks and kissed him in the mouth. Everybody’s jaw must have hit the floor because there was never a sound in the hallways.

There was an awkward silence until I yelled out… “HOLY SHIT!” Then people stared taking photos of the two like this was the scoop of the century.

"Great. More Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter crap on the internet."

I was baffled by what I just saw and saw that the impossible became possible. Never in a lifetime would he kiss one of the popular girls. Hell I thought I was going to lose my first kiss, now he had beaten me to the punch.

“Damn it”. I mutter to myself.

But I shook my head and notice that Jason was coming towards him. So without any hesitation, I pushed the two aside and prepared to give Jason’s face an intro to my fist.

“WHACK”

We both were in pain lying in the floor because we had the same idea of hitting one another in the face. The teachers came to see what all the commotion was about.

Few minutes later…

They took us to the principles room so we can discuss our problems with one other. God when will these teachers and principals ever learn that this crap will never work on us? After we got out, I whispered to him

“We are not going to let this be a tie. Meet me at "Gamblers Den" after school. His response was
”What time? “
”4:10. till then bring it!’ I say.

To those that don’t know, “Gamblers Den” is a place where nearly all the schools around San Francisco meet and place bets on anything from playoffs to fight clubs. Think of the place as the younger brother of an illegal casino only no alcohol just smokes.

I heard this place exist after my last trip with Uncle Tommy. I looked through the files and found the coordinates to where it is. Huh not bad for a 15 year old at that time.

I would have told Uncle Tommy had it not for everyone in the station thinking I was being a nuisance or me being smart then them was “cute” so I kept it to myself.

"Bastards."

I thought that place was my sanctuary away from school and family but Jason knew this place too. I would say I was impress on how he found it, but I still hated him for even coming there.

Few Minutes later…

The time has come and I’m finally not running away anymore. It’s time I face that ass clown and finally have my revenge on what he used me for since we were little.

To make sure I win, and thankfully this was the perfect day, I stole my Grandpas army knife to make sure that if I’m going to lose he’s going to lose something too. When Vincent and his new “GF” found me before I left, Vincent pleads me to not go through with this.

“David stop you have no idea what you’re putting yourself into!”
”Listen to him” Jeanne supporting him.
“You can’t win this. He’s not only a jock but also a black belt in judo and karate.”
“Would you both relax? I have a back-up plan in case I lose. "I answer to them.

“Dude you can’t win this he’ll kill you. Just walk away from this. You can’t do this.”

That’s when I had enough. I waited too long for my revenge and he was going to deny me of it. It’s time I just gave up this façade we call friendship.

“JUST SHUT UP ABOUT RUNNING FOR ONE SECOND! YOU’RE JUST NOTHING MORE THEN A COWARD! THE ONLY REASON I LET YOU HANG OUT WITH ME IS THAT I FELT SORRY FOR HOW WEAK YOU ARE!”
“ALL YOU EVER TALK ABOUT IS GETTING OUT OF SITUATIONS WHERE YOU COULDN’T HAVE JUST FACED THEM LIKE A REAL MAN!”

I continued my barrage of insults and pent up frustrations on to him. All those three years of hearing him complain and being a giant pussy. All for him to face the harsh reality I kept from him all these years.

“LET’S FACE IT, YOU MIGHT POSSIBLE BE THE WEAKEST, MOST SORRY EXCUSE OF A MAN AND HUMAN BEING OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH! I WISH I HADN”T PUSH THE TWO OF YOU OFF THE WAY SO YOU CAN FACE YOUR PROBLEMS ON YOUR GOD DAMN OWN!”

Then said something I shouldn't have said. I was just so angry at that time.

“I ALSO WANT TO TAKE BACK THE TIME YOU WERE CORNERED, IF I HAD LET ONE OF HIS CRONIES BEAT YOU, I WOULDN’T HAVE YOU AS A FRIEND!”

I breathed heavily finally finishing what I been holding on the past years I been with him.
When I open my eyes, he looks down on the ground to cover his crying face. Not looking until he tells me.

“I…I…I hope you lose this fight… because now you’ll know that I was right all along and...that..." He continued trying to say what wanted to tell me.

"YOU END UP IN THE HOSPITAL!” He punched my shoulder but it was so weak it felt like a 5 year. He runs to the other side of the building so that he doesn’t let me see is face. Like I said before,

“A sorry excuse of a man”. I muttered

His “GF” looks at me with a disappointing look on her face. She then comes to my direction then slapped me. It didn’t hurt but it still stung.

“You know the reason why I left Jason was because he was a huge douche.”
"Wait if you knew then why… " My thoughts were interrupted by Jeanne.
“I can’t believe it took me a year to actually find that out. A few weeks ago, I saw your friend getting picked on at lunch then you showed up and gave money to Jason. I’m guessing you bribed Jason into leaving him alone.”

I never answered her question I just stared away from her direction.

“Regardless the reason why I like Vincent was because he’s an actual nice guy at this school and I thought you were too." She then walks pass me.

“I guess I was wrong about you too. You’re as worst then Jason.”
Without saying a word, she leaves to comfort Vincent.

"Me? Worst then that prick? Never."

You know what?! Who needs them I don’t need friends. I always looked out for others but this time I’m done. I won’t let people like them get close to me ever again.

God I am so sick of people thinking they can use me. I used to give people my trust and I open up to them. All they ever do is stomp it, spit it, then throw it away once there done beating the ever living shit out of it. As of now, I look after my own and never anyone else.

I open the doors and head to the destination I was supposed to meet Jason.

When I finally made it, I’m surrounded by a crowd of people that were talking who was going to win. I then get to the center and meet my arch-rival.

“Well what do you know? He did make it? Shall we begin?” he says smugly believing he can win. I then answer him.

“Bring it.”

Three minutes have passed and both of us were tired from dodging, blocking and countering each of our attacks.
But when I started to feel fatigue, I let my guard down and Jason actually got a lucky hit from me.

"Damn it!" I shouted in my head after I fall on the ground.

Jason gets on top of me and starts wailing on me. Of course I cover my head and tried to find a way to get out of this mess. Then he said something that made me lose all sense of control.

“What’s wrong little red riding hood? Too fragile and weak to fight back or perhaps you don't have your boyfriend, Vincent to help you out."

This caused everyone to laugh at that comment.

"The humiliation, the ridicule, th…th…th...THE ANGER."

Inside of me, all that bottled up glass of…anger and…and fury inside of me decides to finally get out. I uncover my face and when I did he got two or three punches in before I got a lucky and powerful right hook to his face. He then recoils from the punch I threw at him.

He was at a far distance thinking he was safe while covering his left cheek but no; he was far of thinking he can get away from me that easy. I then drew up my knife prematurely and showed him what he’s got himself into.

“Wait you can’t just bring a knife out that’s cheating!” he said now hearing a hint of fear in his tone.
Good.

“New rules, anything counts and goes.”

Everyone was awestruck at what I brought with me. These fools actually thought I didn’t have a backup in case if I lose what do they take me for? As one of them? Oh no I’m far too intelligent then these unevolved Neanderthals we call children. I like to think of myself as a contingency planer; always one step ahead of my enemy’s.

“You know it’s pretty ironic wouldn’t you say?” I asked Jason while playing with my knife.
“What the hell do you mean?” Jason now scared trying his best to get out of it somehow.
“Remember when we were kids and how you backstabbed me so you can hang with all the other “cool” kids and how you took my trust in others away.”

Jason was trying to remember or was trying to piece all the puzzle pieces I gave him. Then he finally remembered.

“Look I just want you to know, I’m sorry for what I did but that was all in the past. We were just kids back then. Now were adults now.”

I then was angered on his poor excuse.

“IN THE PAST!? You have done nothing but made my life a living hell because of you. During freshmen though today, you have been nothing but a pain to Vincent and me. And thanks to you, I have nothing. I lost the only person I ever considered a friend.” I then draw my knife.

"Now you’ll know what happens when you pick fight with a man who has nothing left to lose to this horrible way I call life and it’s to make sure I give everyone an example to never F$#k with me ever again.”

I then run to that bastard full on sprint.

"Starting with you first!"

I made a lot of attempted slashes to him but he kept dodging them. That was until I slashed a small cut on his chest. Once it made contact, I can see the red spot on where I slashed him it wasn’t fatal but it was a good start. He covered his chest trying to not show fear and pain but it wasn’t good enough now that his expression was now an open book to me.

Finally I was the one dominating and in control.
Before I was going for more slashes, I then felt weak out of the blue.

"No keep going if you don’t, then your prey will escape."

"But… " A voice couldn’t get a thought out because it was interrupted.

"DOOO IIIIITTTTTTTT!!!" The voice screamed.

I then gripped my knife so I don’t loosen it then I was ready to stab him. I sprinted to Jason and yelled “YOUR MINE!”

Everyone was wide-eyed including Jason when all of a sudden I heard a voice
“SSSSSTTTTTOOOOPPPPP!” Vincent was in front of my way crying. His look made me cringed as to what I saw but when I looked at him I somehow saw…me?

Ever second became micro seconds, it was all slow motion in my mind. My blade was near to his stomach. After that, my whole life turned bright before my eyes.

“POOF”

Everyone was looking at Jason and Vincent at amazement as to what they saw was unbelievable. There was a long silence in the crowd, no one was cheering, no one was gambling. All activities and the teens were dumbfounded by what they saw. Then Jason spoke.
“Uhhhhh where did he go?” Now covered in what appeared to be glitter.

End of Chapter 1

Author's Note

Thank you for reading my first fanfic in fact this was always on my mind ever since I first came into the fandom. The first episode I ever saw on the show was Canterlot Wedding Part 1 and 2. That's when I started warming up to the show until I started watching the show. Weird how I thought a show for 5-10 year olds could somehow turn me around. Anyways I got a question for anybody that reads this; Which Episode did you watch before joining the fandom? If you can't remember, think of an early episode you can remember that got you hooked. Until next time Ghost, out.

Chapter 3 - This Strange New World (Part 2)

As for what I believe was the morning day, I wake up to the sight of the morning sun hitting me, telling me to wake up for another day at school. I then tell it off.

“I’m ready to go just give me five more minutes.” I then cover the sheets so I can ignore it but, as I try to pull the sheets with my left arm, it began to sting then later it hurt.

“Ow!” As I press my arm closer to my chest. “What the hell.” I examined my arm to see why it was hurting so much. As it turns out, it was wrapped in bandages much like a cast. I thought to myself

“Did I get into some kind of accident?”

When I try to get up from the bed, I felt something on my abdomen. I lifted up my shirt to see that not only I’m missing my jacket and lacked my t-shirt but was what was constricting me. My abdomen was covered with bandages as well.

I then start to freak out as to what had happed to me last night. As I was continuing with what has happened to me last night, I then start to notice that this was not my room. In fact, this looks like the inside of the tree.

“Wait a minute, isn’t this the same tree that I climbed in my… my… dream.”

That’s when everything starts to make sense at least when I realized that what happed to me was just a dream… right? I leave that thought for a second. What I really wanted to know was what happened to me and how I got bandaged up?

“Ohh shit! What the hell happened to my body? “

I flicked my abdomen to see how sensitive it is if someone touched me there. It hurts like a mother when I flicked; it felt like Chuck Norris had just kicked me with one flawless roundhouse kick and I’m still feeling the aftermath.

I moaned in pain after what felt like an endless torture session. I try to see if there were any pain killers in this room. I used every bit of energy I had in me to find something to end this aching pain in my abs. I’m tired of calling it abdomen because I’m not a doctor.

As I stood up, I heard something fall underneath me. As I looked down to see what fell under me it was a hot water balloon. You know one of those red water balloons you use when you have menstrual pains. As I bend over to pick it up, my crotch was in excruciating pain much like my arm and stomach but two times worse.

I couldn’t hold out my cry of agony any long I just screamed out of the top of my lungs so that anybody or something to take care of me as I start to go into fetal position, covering my nuts with just one hand and using the other to crawl up my bed.

As my screaming began to lower down I heard some footsteps coming to what I believe was my room.
(Thank God somebody was coming.)

As I heard the sound of the door opening I had a sign of relief.

“Thank God you’re here; I need a little help on getting up.”

Then I heard a voice, a female voice, much like the girls in my school.

(Oh man I hope see’s cute under that voice.) I prayed. It’s not every day a girl has to nurse a guy to full health. I just hope I’m not damaged downstairs.

“Oh my, are you O.K.? What happened to you?”

I respond but still in pain. “It’s nothing really I’m just…nnuggh… surprised on how bad I’m in shape that’s all right really.”

“No this was my fault. That was some fall. I mean I thought that you were some kind of monster or a beast, maybe a griffin that was taking a nap on my tree.”

I told her “It was nothing really I survived worse falls then…” I paused for a second. “Hold on for just a second. Did you say fall off a tree?”

“Yeh?”She responded questionably. “I wouldn’t have known that you popped out my home if it wasn’t for your snoring.”

I got annoyed when she said that because everyone in my family told me that I snore when I take naps or when I sleep. ”Hey I don’t snore I...I…” I paused at what I saw.

(It’s cute but not what I was expecting)

I was dumbfounded when all this time I was talking to yet another unicorn but only this time, it had a different coat of color and that her purple-ness was much darker than last one I saw. It also had a different mane style rather than the last. It had straight hair with bangs and that one part of her hair had a little bit of a pink streak on both her mane and tail but is distinctly close to her purple mane.

That’s it. I lost my sanity at that point I scream in horror when I realized that everything I know doesn’t make sense anymore. As I continue to scream, she backs away knowing that I wasn’t ready to be talked to. But as she moved two or in this case, 6 steps including her fore-hooves, she ducked her head down revealing her horn as purple aura came out of it. After that I was in a still stasis which meant that everything including my voice stopped.

“Look I get that you’re in shock, but could you relax for just five seconds and would you stop screaming. Everypony can hear you from a mile away.” She says like she handled this sort of shit a millions of times.

“Now, promise me while blinking your eyes twice that you will not scream again please?” as she comes up close and personal with her big round eyes to mine.

I couldn’t say no to it because if she can use this sort of magic on me I could have my life taken in a snap of a finger or by putting her hoof down. I did as she told me to so I blinked twice and she lets me go.

“OK now that were in an agreement let’s introduce ourselves I’ll go first and then…” I interrupted her in mid-sentence

“No. Let me go first it’s the least I can do after how I acted and that I’m in this ummm… predicament.” Unsure if it was a good idea.

“OoooK if you want?” Saying it like this hasn’t happened to her.

I explain to her of who,what and where I came from, she looked like she never heard of the places I told her.
Then I started to get anxious and suspicious because she never once told me to stop.

“What about you? What’s your name and where am I?” I say a bit paranoid.

“Oh I’m sorry. I guess I was lost in thought of what you’re talking. I mean I never heard of San Fran-cis-co or the Golden Gate Bridge before. Is it really made out of gold?”

“No it’s not made out of gold in fact I think it’s supposed to… Hold on let’s not move to that subject again you still need to tell me who you are or in fact, tell me where I am?” I say with an annoyed tone.

“Oh right sorry anyways my name is Twilight Sparkle and you’re in Ponyville.” Saying it like it’s a good thing. Then later, her name hovered over me like a repeating song playing in your head over and over again.

“Hold on for just a second” What was your name again please? I just need to make sure what you say was what I heard. “Almost having a sudden realization.She then repeated her name.

”My name is Twilight Sparkle.” As she said that, I started chuckling then laugh a little then it became louder then it became a little creepy, like Joker creepy.

“So what you saying is that I’m in Equestria and that you’re here to learn and study the power of friendship am I right or wrong?”She looked surprised as I told her what I just said. Before she could tell me something, I continued on my somewhat impossible answer.

“And this one particular person or pony wouldn’t happen to be named Celestia, a princess that rules over this land right?” As I said those words she had to say what was on her mind.

“How did you know all of this?” As she said those words I knew I was right on the money. I stood up regardless of what I was going through; I limped over to the door. As I was limping, she told me where I got my information from.

“Hey you didn’t answer my question.”

I ignored her and continue on wondering around the inside of the tree looking for the exit. The reason why I wanted to find the exit was that I would find a cliff and jump off of it because this can’t be happening it’s all a dream or coma right?

“Hey where are you going you still need to recover from your injuries.” She says with a concern tone on her voice. As she said that I had my hand on the door handle. I turned the handle so that if this was the exit I’ll run as fast as my legs can carry if the pain that’s tricking me doesn’t get in the way.

As I opened the door, I rush out regardless if it was or wasn’t the door to my freedom. I bumped into something that was heavy and tall. To prevent myself from falling, I used my one good hand and hugged whatever I bumped into.

As I did that, I realized that the thing I was holding on to wasn’t an object but alive. As I opened my eyes I was stood there frozen. She had this sort of mane that was multi-colored and that it waved in the corner of her left eye. Her mane was moving freely even though there was no draft or high winds outside. And her height, holy crap she’s big in fact I envied her she could tower most of the guys back home but I might be over exaggerating considering I’m 5”5’ feet.

What was so familiar about her was that I’ve seen her somewhere before. No it couldn’t be.
“You’re…” I was interuped by twilight before I can finish.

“Oh my gosh Princess Celestia. I didn’t know you were coming here.” As she said that, she just notices that I was hugging royalty without the princess’s approval. This frightened Twilight.

“Gah David get off of her if you want to be banished to the moon or sun.”

When she said that I thought to myself maybe that might not be a bad idea. I mean if I go to the moon I’ll suffocate and die. If I go to the sun then my death will be a quick and easy demise. So without hesitation, I hugged her much like when you never saw your best friend for so long. And I also said to her with a sly remark.

“Hope you enjoying this as much as I do?” As I said those words, I swear I almost saw a slight blush in her cheek just for a second. Twilight had enough of my ‘rudeness’ with the princess, so she rudely pulled me away with her magic.

She set me down on a chair and told me not to mutter another word unless she wanted me to talk. This was bullshit to me because I don’t take orders to anyone especially if it’s a talking pony. That’s a human’s job to do that, not her.

“I’m so sorry princess he didn’t mean to have violated your personal space.” she says with sincerity in her voice trying to “defend” me.

“OK now that’s a load of crap. I saw her blush right before my eyes. I know she liked it.”
I say it like it was the truth. Twilight goes up to me and whispers “Are you trying get banish let alone be sent to her dungeon.”

Right as she said dungeon, I just had to make this joke it was a sure fire way this would get me sent to the sun in a flash. “Oh kitty likes to play rough. I didn’t know the princess was into that sort of fetish.” I said loud enough for the both of them to hear.

“But I wouldn’t mind doing something like that.” I said but not before I winked at them.

(Just the complete opposite.) My trollest side, side commented.

Twilight was all crimson red trying her best to find the right words explaining that she said nothing of the sort behind her back. I was laughing during her spaz attack. Right as she explained the whole thing was me being rude, she looked at both of us with a calm and neutral look on her face knowing how to handle this.

“Now that we got that out of the way, it is great to see you again Twilight and I’m also pleased to meet you umm…” she’s says realizing that she forgotten to ask for my name.

“It’s David Grant and the pleasures all mine sweet cheeks.” While giving her a wink still trying get her uncomfortable.

“I am pleased to meet you Mr. Grant.” keeping her composure. Not even fazed at what I just said.
In my mind I was thinking

(What the hell. I made a few smartass remarks and that I try hitting on her, yet nothing is making her uncomfortable. I mean Twilight is easy to make fun of, but this one is one tough customer.)As I was thinking, Twilight stomped her hoof on my left foot.

“OW! Why’d you that for?” I say strained. “Pay close attention to her and be respectful.” saying it in annoyed and angry tone. I sighed then turn my head towards Celestia to listen.

“Twilight do you recall that yesterday I visited Ponyville?”
“Yes I know. You sent the letter though Spike.” she recalled.

“You were about two hours late at the time. I kind of believed you weren’t going.”
“What are you? Her boyfriend or something? ”As I said that Twilight picked up a broom with her magic and it was heading towards me.

“OK I’ll shut up! Just leave the brooms out of this.” I said crossing my arms to an X.

“Sorry I joke when I’m in pain so can you tell me where I can ease the pain away.” I asked her politely so she doesn’t hit me again.

“Alright fine, it’s in the room that you slept overnight.” Twilight pointing her hoof up to the stairs sounding a bit exhausted.

“Thanks.” was all I can say.

I climbed up the stairs while holding on to the railing. As I got to the end, I look around to see it there was some sort of pill or bottle I can consume. I find a bottle lying on a desk next to the bed I was sleeping on last night. I take the bottle and read the label on it. It was called “PAIN-B-GONE for fillies and colts.”

(Really is that how she sees me as; a helpless baby horses.) I thought to myself. Regardless if this was for little kids or how the label reads, I need the pain to go away and I want it now. I took two big swigs from the bottle thinking it was the right amount. As I was walking down the stairs, I felt sort of better seconds later. Right as I was close to the last five steps I jumped to the edge and I felt fantastic.

“WOOOOO! Damn I feel good. I feel like I can take on the world. ”Sounding heroic and over-confidant.
“What was in that bottle? Magic?” she was about to explain something until I interrupted her yet again.
“No don’t tell me I don’t care if it is or isn’t magic, all I know is that I’m cured.” I did a short tap dance to prove my point.

“Didn’t you promise me that you would be quiet after I told you where the medicine was?” sounding annoyed.

“Oh right sorry. I guess the medicine was so overwhelming and relieving, that it must have cross my mind. Continue what you two were talking about.”

“Actually this conversation involves you Mr. Grant.” Celestia spoke.

“It involves that mark on your right hand and how you were brought by me.” I was wide eyed when she said those words.

“How did you know about my birth mark?” I asked her.

Twilight was also interested by this. “Wait what mark? I didn’t see a mark on his flank.”

When she said flank I then looked at her butt then mine then I just realized something.

"You were checking my ass when I was unconscious."
(Oh God I feel violated.)

She ignored what I said then checks my right arm then my hand, and then examining my back hand.
”Wait this is your cutie-mark Celestia how is this even possible?” She then looks at me thinking I know the answer.

”Don’t look at me like I know the answer. All I know is that I was born with this.” Twilight had her mouth agape after hearing what I said.

“Wait. Are you saying that you were born with this?”

I nodded my head indicating a yes to her. “Oh my goodness this is incredible. Now I’m interested in you again.” I raised an eyebrow. "Wait you were interested in me?”

“I am now. For a few moments ago, I thought you were some sort of idiot.” She said bluntly. I wanted to curse her out like a sailor for that comment, but I took a deep breath and looked over to Celestia.

”You said something about you actually bringing me here right? So how is this relevant and connected to you from me? ” I look at her in a serious manner.

“The reason for you being here was a summoning spell. I tried to summon you in my castle, but then I was distracted by my younger sister who was at the wrong time. She reminded me that we were supposed to visit Ponyville since yesterday. It hosted the 5,000 year anniversary of Equestria being discovered.”

(Well that explains why the town felt empty yesterday.) I look at her with a puzzled expression. “Wait you summoned me? But how?” With a confused look.

“It is the mark on your right hand Mr. Grant. It is not just a mark; it is paradigm.” When she said it was a paradigm I stood frozen. Then I spoke. “Wait on for just a second. Are you saying that this thing lets you bring me here?”
“You are correct.” Showing a sincere look on her face the best she could.

“That’s another thing how is it that my dad and grandpa have the same markings on their bodies. Now I’m no expert, but if you met my grandpa you’d be old like he is.”

“Actually David the princess and Luna have lived up to over five thousand years.” Twilight said looking at me with a serious face know that it’s the truth.

What came out my mouth was out of surprise and shock that something this old is still alive. She makes my grandpa and all the other “Yo mama old jokes” true.

“WHAT?! You lived over five thousand years?! Holy crap your old!” Once I said that out loud, I realized that it was wrong of me for calling a woman old even if she’s another being in another planet. I had to think up complement because if I don’t, Twilight looked like she was about to commit murder right now in front of her.

“But yet somehow you look so…so…” I thought up the first thing that came out of my mouth.
“Regal and… and…”
(Say something dumbass.)
“Sexy.”

In the back of my mind I was thinking (Of all the words in the Oxford Dictionary, sexy was all I can come up with? Am I just asking to get killed by Twilight?) I try to keep a smile on my face so that I don’t look like I’m lying.

She kind of looked befuddled by what I said but after a few seconds of awkward silence she spoke.

“Why uh thank you.” Saying it with a blush.

“You’re welcome.” Also blushing as well. I would say mission accomplish but this wasn’t what I had in mind. I had to go back on the topic because this was starting to get awkward.

“You also said that you put this mark on me? If you had marked my grandpa, how did you know about Earth?” She looks at me trying to spill out what was important.There was a long pause she never answered. We looked at one another’s eyes not looking away from each other. After about what seemed to be hours Twilight spoke up.

“But Celestia there were never any records of other living beings in space.

“I know because the information was a secret kept away for many years, it was to keep his kind alive.”

“Wait keep my kind alive? What the hell are you talking about?” With a look of determination in my eyes, wanting to know the truth. She never answered my question after I said that.

“Tell us right now. I want to know what you mean my kind. Are you talking about humankind?” I tell her again with a bit of anger in my tone. She looks away trying not to answer my question.

Now I was really mad. This royal knew something and if she was going to hurt my family or mankind, I’m getting her to say it one way or another. I then made one of the biggest mistakes in my life. I grabbed a hold of her Celestia’s ethereal mane and pulled it towards me.

“Tell me what you know!”

“David what are yo…?” Twilight said but was interrupted by what she witness.

As I was about to interrogate her, her horn flashed above my head. Then after a few seconds my hand started to feel like it was about to split out from my arm. Then later on all over my body it started to feel like it was both on fire and was electrocuted at the same time. Every part of my body was in intense pain worse than last night.
“AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!”

Meanwhile Back On Earth …

Both of my parents started to worry about whatever happened to me. They called the school, they called Vincent’s parents, and they even called my phone number. Now they were becoming desperate and so they called the one phone number they didn’t want to call in this situation; the police aka Uncle Tommy.

“We have no other choice honey. Your brother is our only chance in finding him.” My dad looking at my mom knowing that they tried everything to know where I am.

”Ok sweetie, go and call Tom. Tell him that our little boy is missing.” Wiping a tear off with a tissue paper.
“Don’t worry I’ll dial and tell him that he’s missing you just need to sit down and calm yourself OK?” My mom looks at him and nods her head in agreement.

My dad goes to the kitchen with him was grandpa almost as frightened as he was. “I can’t believe that the school said that they had no information of where he is. They all ask the kids in school where he was and two told us that he just disappeared in a flash of light and glitter.”

Looking at my dad with worry in his eyes. “I think that those kids were on dope.”

Dad looks at grandpa with a small chuckle knowing that his dad was overreacting. He knows that there isn’t anything to overreact about. He knew something like this was going to happen someday just like his far fetch ideas and “what if” scenarios. But he really did wish that this one never did come true. He needed to be the calm and comforting family member in his house. At least for my sister’s and mom’s sake.

As he was about to grab and dial the number he started to feel a stinging ache on his back shoulder. As he was rubbing his shoulder, grandpa too was also rubbing his neck but what he was trying to rub was his back so he asked dad to rub his back. After seconds pass, not only did the marks on which they were placed start to hurt but they both felt an intense pain surging though their bodies.

“Ughhhh what’s going on? Why does my body feel like it’s going to burst in flames any minute?” Looking at grandpa he too knows that it’s happening to him as well.

“I don’t know but whatever it is make it stop.” Grandpa looking at his son thinking he might know what to do.
As seconds passed on, they now were screaming in agonizing pain never feeling this sort of pain in their lives. Both mom and my little sister go to the kitchen to see what was happening.

“Oh my God!” looking at what she was witnessing. Both of the men were screaming and squirming on the floor almost looking like they both were having a seizure, covering their bodies feeling like they might pop like balloons.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” praying that screaming was their only hope.

Back In Equestria…

“STOP! PLEASE I’LL DO WHATEVER YOU WANT JUST SSTTTTOOPPPPPP!!” Praying to her that she would stop.
After about a few seconds have past, I noticed that the intensive pain had seized and that it was all over. I wiped the sweat out of my forehead then I looked up at Celestia looking like she almost killed someone.
“I…I’m sorry I d…didn’t mean to hurt you. I was just frightened and that I d…didn’t want to...”

I looked up to her then gave a sigh.
“Alright I won’t make you tell me what happen. But sooner or later you have to tell us, plus promise me that you won’t do whatever you did to me ever again.”

She then looks at me with a surprised look thinking that I wouldn’t hold a grudge on her. I know she didn’t mean to kill me and that I kind of deserved what was coming to me, but she kind of looks like she was going to cry. If there’s one thing I can’t stand or handle in my life, is a girl or a woman crying because of my faults, in this case a mare is another exception.

“And one more thing, I’m sorry I was a total jerk to you or how I was behaving. I guess me talking to ponies was kind of too much for me to handle in one day and its only morning.” Trying to stand up.

“Indeed. I think it’s time I should leave you with Twilight here until we meet again.” Twilight snapped out after she heard what she said. “Wait?! You want me to look after him. After what he tried to do to you?” After pointing a hoof to me.

“I know this is all sudden, but after everything that happened to him, I think it’s best if he stayed here with you after all. You too were afraid of change when you came into ponyville.”

I don’t know what she was talking about, but Twilight looks at my direction trying to find a simulation between us. She then looks at her teacher and agrees that she will look after me. The princess and her bow to one another and gave farewell to one another. As the door closes, Twilight walks or in this case, trots up to me and sits down on the floor.

“So you and me are going to be roommates?”I asked looking at her with a tired tone on my voice.

“I believe so.” She response, trying to keep the conversation going.

“Oh I almost forgot about Spike he’s also living with us.” I raised an eyebrow not knowing that she also had someone in her home.

“Spike? Who’s Spike?”
“He’s my #1 assistant and that he’s a baby dragon.” As she said that she forgot that this whole ordeal was the cause of me going mad. She then tries to change the subject but it was too late.

“Wait you have a baby dragon as an assistant?” Looking at her in a surprised look. Admitting defeat she nods her head and waited for my reaction.

“That’s awesome.” I said calmly.“Wait you aren’t freaked out that dragon’s exists in this world?” Looking at me with a confused look on her face.

“Of course I’m a bit freaked out but its a baby dragon if there anything from movies I seened then theres nothing to worry.” Twilight looks at me with an intrigued look on her face.

“Movies? What are movies?” I sigh a bit annoyed that I have to explain what movies are but I guess I got time to kill so why not.
“Ok so movies are…”

END OF CHAPTER 3

Author's Note

Ok so now we are starting to get somewhere. Anyways I hope that this story can get somewhere, or at the least become better with the help of you guys if there were any grammar errors. New chapter new question. If you can become a vault hunter what abilities would you have if a vault was in Equestria.

Chapter 4 – Meeting her friends

“And that’s basically what movies are.” Once I was done with my explanation, Twilight wrote down everything about what I said about movies.

At first I kind of thought it was unnecessary at first but I decided it was best to not say another word, less I get hurt or worst kicked out.

“Wow this is amazing. From what you told me, the entertainment business in your world is far more advance then what we have. It’s incredible.” Twilight said.

“I also think that it’s a strange coincidence that unicorns and pegasi even exist in your world even if it’s what you would call “a foal’s story”.

“Yeah, but people thought that they were just nothing more than legends, myths, or fairy tales. That is until I met you and what you told me about this place.” I told her.

“Well I’m glad that I’m the first one you’ve met in this world, otherwise everypony in Ponyville would have mistaken you for a monster.”

I look backed on yesterday that she wasn’t the first pony I met. It was that white unicorn with the purple curled mane. I have to say her mane did look attractive. BUT if she was human then that would be an entirely different story.

“Uhhhhh actually there’s something I should tell you. You see…”

One Explanation Later…

“Oh no this is bad, this really really bad. Somepony saw you. There’s no denying that she already told everypony that a monster is running amok in Ponyville.”

Twilight was freaking out that this situation is going to blow out of proportion.

(Seriously calm the hell down.)

“Relax it was just one pony no big deal. And besides, who’s going to believe her it’s not like she has photographic proof or anything to back up her story.

“Wait who did you say saw you?”

I tried to remember who she was. All I can remember was what she looked like but I never ask for her name then it hit.

“I think she owns this boutique and...”I was then interrupted by Twilight for the first time.
“We have to talk to her right now!” sounding like it was an emergency.

“Whoa I get that you’re scared that she might tell a few ponies, but I’m not going back to that place again.” Protesting to her that I want to stay in her house.

“Well too bad because you got yourself into this mess. But there’s another reason why we have to talk to her.”

“Oh and whys that?” Giving her an annoyed remark in my tone.

“She’s also one of my best friends so it might be best if we can tell her you’re harmless so she can avoid telling other ponies that you exist.”

I was thinking about her plan, how this could work out.

“Maybe it could work, but how am I supposed get to the boutique without frightening a few pony’s since I’m not one of you.” She looks at me knowing that I was right.

“Oh right.” Later she jolted back up.

“Oh wait a minute. We can teleport to her boutique so you don’t scare or cause a scene around other ponies.” I then think again if there were any flaws to her plan.

“Have you ever done teleporting before?” I asked her.

”Oh I have. A lot of times actually.” Answering with confidence in her voice.

“Ok I guess.” I mean she did say she has done this sort of thing before right? So I thought to myself why not. Twilight then closes her eyes trying to concentrate on doing her transporting spell. I saw a purple aura coming out of her horn which kind of freaked me out a little since magic never existed in earth.

As I was staring at her horn, a burst of bright light flashed before my eyes I was then temporarily blind for about a few seconds.

“We’re here David. I told you I’ve done this before.”

I then rub my eyes, trying to get my vision back. After about a few seconds have past, I manage to see that we were no longer in her tree house but outside next to a building. The same building that I stopped by yesterday.

“Wow. Now that’s what I call fast travel.” Still amazed that Twilight can actually do magic.

“I learned from the best. Now we should head on over inside before somepony see’s you.”

“Oh yeah we should go in. I don’t want to give somebody a false sense that I’m some sort of threat or monster.” Remembering that I’m not some ponies what you call “normal”.

“You’re not a monster; you were just surprised that we can talk.” Trying to sound reassuring.

“Yeah, I know but it’s kind of unbelievable that there’s another whole new world besides Earth. Now I know that “Aliens” do exist, wait till I go back home and tell Vincent that…”

I suddenly remember what happened on yesterday. I stopped talking for a second.
“What’s wrong? Are you ok?” Twilight trying to get my attention.

I snapped out of my thoughts and rubbed the back of my head. “Let’s just go inside shall we? “ Trying to get away from the subject.

“Oh yeah right.” She replied looking at me with a puzzled look.I walked ahead of her and opened the door first so she can go first. What? Just because she’s a magical talking pony doesn’t mean I can be a nice guy once a while.

“Thanks David.” I look at her with a scorned expression.

Before she can go through, I felt a breeze brush right next to the left side shoulder then later heard a smashing sound behind me.

(Did someone just throw a vase at me?) I thought to myself.

“AGGGGGGHHHHHHH!! It’s you again. Spike, get me something to use as a weapon quick!”

I looked inside of the building and I saw the white unicorn again, peeking out behind her counter. I was chuckling for a second, but then things began to turn for the worst when she levitated a few objects behind her. That’s when I know this was going to be a battlefield.

Without hesitation, I ran to the nearest cover I can find and saw a desk full of cloth and needles. I then flipped the table side ways and duck behind it. I heard objects hitting behind the table and I laughed as the objects smashed the table behind me.

“Nice try, but you’re aiming sucks worst then a storm trooper!” Taunting her.

“Then come out of those covers you brute so I can hit you!” Yelling, still trying to throwing stuff at me.

As the battle rages on, I peeked out to see what she was planning to do. As I peeked, I saw something coming out of a door right next to her side. It was a tiny purple dragon with green scales that kind of looks like a Mohawk and was purple all over its small body.

I would say it was cool and that it could be Spike that twilight was mentioning a few moments ago, but he was holding some sort of umbrella.

As I stopped peeking, I waited for more objects to be thrown from her, but after about a few moments later, it stopped. I then I peeked out of the desk and spoke.

“What‘s the matter? Giving up already?” Trying to sound tough.

I look up and I saw her coming at my direction levitating an umbrella at full sprint. I looked around trying to find something to defend myself I looked at one of the manikins or ponykins and had a crazy idea it just might work.
I lifted up the ponykin and put it towards me and it blocked her swing. I backed up a little bit and ran around trying to find something else I can use.

As I was running, I found a broom that was lying on the floor. So I picked it up, and I was ready for combat. She was standing from one corner, trying to catch her breath, while I was waiting for her to make the first move.
Then after about a few seconds past, she came charging towards me with a battle cry. I also ran towards her with a battle cry of my own, one that fits perfect for me.

“LEEEEERRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOY JEEENNNNKKKKIIIIIINNNNS!” I yelled.

As we were heading for one another, we prepared our swings and were ready who was going to swing first. As we were close at range, we both swung our weapons simultaneously but during that time we both froze like statues, then a voice broke out.

“THAT’S ENOUGH OF YOU TWO!”

I turned my neck to see if I can move it and I can. I turned and looked at Twilight who was now pissed off.
“Twilight? What in Celestias mane are you doing? Get me out from this stasis so we can finish off and get rid of this… this… abomination.” The white unicorn pointing her hoof at me.

“Look who’s calling the kettle black, you ungrateful bitch!” I yelled back at her.
“You… you think I’m ugly?” said the unicorn that was almost to the verge of tears.
“If the horseshoe fits.”

Biggest. Mistake. Ever

I immediately regret saying it to her because not only was she about to cry, something popped out behind the place she was hiding. It was the purple dragon with the green Mohawk again and he looked pissed.

“You’re going to pay for what you called Rarity!” as it was coming at my direction with sharp claws ready to shred me to pieces. I was trying to struggle getting out of whatever Twilight put me in, but I can’t break free from her magic.

(God if you’re out there, PLEASES DO SOMETHING!!)

Right as he pounces to my direction, only about a mere few inches, a purple aura was surrounding his entire body while flouting in midair. I give a sigh of relief, knowing that Twilight used her magic to stop him from attacking me. As I turn my direction to Twilight, she looks even more pissed off. I thought for sure she was going to scream at the top of her lungs, but instead she took a deep breath and exhaled.

“Ok let’s just calm ourselves and be responsible adult’s ok everpony? “ I wanted to correct her on the “everpony” sentence since I’m not a pony and that we have a dragon that’s also not a pony. But by the look on her face I think I should keep that thought on my mind.

There was a long awkward silence for a while, until finally I had a plan that can either help or hurt my impression with Rarity.

“Look for all the things that just happened I’m sorry for scaring you from the beginning and that I had no right to call you ugly. You’re… beautiful and …. Also…” I let go of the broom which was floating too and dug into my pockets and took out two handfuls of jewels out of my hand.

“I like to return these gems to you. They belong to you right?”

Everyone in the room was surprised that I had gems that were inside my pockets. Even Twilight herself didn’t know about this till now.

“I know these gems belong to you when I first came in and Twilight knew they belong to you and she told me to return these to you, right Twilight?” Looking at her direction giving her a wink, giving her a sign to play along with this.

As she was still surprised, she shakes her head and begins to talk.

“Yeh, it’s true he wanted to give back something what he stole from you, and that I lead him the way to you boutique so he can give it back to you and apologies.” Giving a smile trying to not look like she’s lying.

The white unicorn then looks at both of us trying to figure out our lie. Then she breaths in then speaks.

“Well since you apologize and that you’re retuning what you stolen from me, I suppose it should be fair for me to apologies for attacking you and calling you a monster.”

Twilight then gives a sign of relief and drops all of us down from the air. When I dropped first I was trying to catch my balance because I still couldn’t handle what Twilight put me thought not once but twice.

When I finally found my balance, the white unicorn trots over to my direction trying to get a good look at me.

“Hmmm, from closer aspect, you don’t look like a monster or a brute but a sort of a…gentle giant.”
“Umm thanks.” was all I could say.

I know I should say something to her I had one comment but I hope she doesn’t take it for real. So I crouch down to her level and said to her

“And from a closer point of view, you are sort of cute, especially the eyes.” As I said that, she then covers her mouth with one of her hoofs and starts to giggle.
“Why thank you.”

Something jumped on my back and started choke holding me but I was strong enough to break the hold of whatever something was trying to chock me. I pulled the culprit and it was none other than that small purple dragon.

“Hold on for a second, I thought we already established that I wasn’t dangerous. What’s with you trying to hurt me?”
“It’s because I don’t trust you. How can I be sure that you didn’t brain wash Twilight and Rarity?” struggling to get out of my grip.
“If I did brain washed them, then shouldn’t I have brain washed you and made all of you forget ever seeing me.”

He finally stop’s struggling to consider my theory.

“Hmmmm…. you do have a good point. And ummm can you put me down now; you’re starting to hurt me a little.”

I come to realized that I was holding him a little too tight so I put him down. As I did that, he runs over to Twilight’s side and I finally got my answer.

“I’m guessing your name is Spike right?”

The dragon looks at my direction with a surprise look knowing that we never introduced ourselves.

“How do you know my name?” I cracked opened a smile and told him how I know his name.
“Two words; Psychic Powers.”

He then asks me what he was thinking about and later on I told him that the whole psychic powers thing was just a bunch of bull. After that, Twilight tells him why he didn’t come home early with the breakfast she told him to pick up for her.

As it turns out, he explained that when he was coming back home, he noticed that Rarity was moving around inside her window and that he was concerned about her so he walked inside the store and ask her what was wrong.

She then tells him that yesterday a monster came into her store and tried to “attack” her and that she noticed that the gems in her treasure chest were a few short. How she noticed that her gems were stolen is beyond my understanding but none the less, she knew they were a few short.

Spike then helps her find the lost gems she’s so desperate to find and after minutes of trying to find them they
give up. As they were taking a break, Rarity then sat down next to a window and saw Twilight and me appear seconds later, she began to panic and hid behind her counter.

I think what Spike was telling me is that the reason she was hiding was that when she sat down to take a break she must have saw Twilight and me outside her door and must have panic that I came back.

“Again sorry that I tried to throw objects at you. If I had known you were Twilight’s uhhh friend then I would have never overreacted.” I kind reacted to what she would call Twilight and me “friends”.

“I wouldn’t consider her a friend more like an acquaintance or a companion. I mean she did nurse me back to health today and yesterday.”

“What happened to you after we met? Last we met you weren’t covered in bandages.”
I explained to Rarity that after I ran from her store yesterday, I climbed up Twilights home and took a nap on one of the branches. After I told her I fell from the tree, she then comes to realized why most of my clothes now are tattered, ripped and why I’m bandaged up.

“Oh my goodness no wonder you look like you fell from the sky because you actually fell.”
“Gee thanks” I tell her sarcastically.
“These clothes simply will not help you feel good if you don’t look good. I suggest you should let me fix those clothes for you.”

I then come to realized that these clothes are the only things I brought for my “trip”. I had to make up an excuse and fast before I have to strip down.

“Uhhh I can’t because I don’t have any money. In fact, I don’t even know what sort of currency you ponies have here.”

(This excuse should get me out of this situation.)

“Oh don’t worry this will just take no longer then just a few minutes and besides think of this as a way of saying I’m sorry for what I did to you early and for yesterday.”

After she was done with her explanation her horn then glows into a purple aura and as that was happening, my hoodie was taken from me then my shirt begins to float a little to show a little of my bandages.

I then pull down my shirt and tried to make up more excuses but every time I do so, she then counters them with her own explanation on why she wants to help. During our battle of wits, more of my clothes begin to try and strip out of me and I catch and hold on to them to make sure they don’t go anywhere. Then things began to turn south.

“That’s it! If you can’t let me take your clothes, I’ll rip them out of you.” I then look at her with an evil eye and told her

“You wouldn’t dare.”

I don’t know how she was able to tear all my clothes, but she did it somehow. A few of them flew away in different places and slipped from my fingers. Most of the fabric that did slip through was still on my hands. As of what happened I was now wearing nothing but my boxer, shoes and the bandages that covered my stomach and arm. I sunk my head in defeat that all this was for nothing.

“Fine if you solely want to fix my clothes be my guest, but can I get my things out of my pants before you fix them?” She then tells me its fine by her as long I didn’t try to put was once my clothes. I agree and I go to the place where my pants were. Good thing it landed on her sofa otherwise the contents would have been damage.

I dig into my pockets and took my phone, my ds, my packet of gum, and finally my knife. I then take my things and go to a door and look inside. It looked at kitchen and there were four chairs. I could at least sit there and wait inside, that way if somebody comes inside her store, they won’t be frighten by me standing somewhere else.

I look back at the two ponies and one dragon and told them if they needed me, I’d be in Rarity’s kitchen playing my games. I then close the door behind them and walked to the nearest chair and sat on it. As I did so, I turn on my DS and waited for it to warm up.

I look at the screen and saw the time it said is 12:15. I then look at the bottom screen to see what game did I bring and it was Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney. I was happy that I brought it along with me because I was on my fifth case and I was close on finishing it.

As I touch the screen it goes to the game and as I was about to press continue, something spoke behind my back.

“What’s that?” I jump in front and fell from my seat. I turned around to see Twilight with a puzzled look.
“Oh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you. I was just curious what sort of items you took from your clothes.

I then stand up and let out a sigh and responded with calm annoyed tone.

“If you must know this is DS lite. This little device lets me play all sorts of video games while I’m on the go.”
Twilight was astounded by what I said and told me that video game cabinets actually exist in this world. But she never expected that games can be portable.

(Well at least video games still exist in this world.)

Anyways I then tell her the other item I was carrying which was my phone.

“This other little device, it lets me talk to all sorts of people around my world. Unfortunately, it won’t work because the only way I can talk to people is by via satellite which is back on Earth and as you can tell were not at Earth so it’s hard to show you its potential use.”

Twilight looks at me with a disappointed look on her face or muzzle if you want to call it that. I then had an idea which could cheer her up.

“Although, it not only lets me talk to people, it also plays all sorts’ of music I brought over the past. If you want I can let you listen to few of them.”

Her expression changed from depression with happiness knowing that she gets to see what sort of wonderment my phone can do. Seriously if she knew how old my iphone5 is then she wouldn’t care. Oh well, can’t keep her waiting.

I turned on my phone and touch my music app and scrolled down which song would be suitable for her. After about a few seconds I thought I was going to give up because most of the songs I have are hip hop (the good kind), songs from the 80’s to 20’s or are from video game soundtracks.

I was still looking but once I found a song I can play, Spike came into the kitchen with a frighten look in his expression.

“Twilight we have to leave now.”

Twilight goes up and asked him what was going on in the other room. Before he could answer, all of us were silent as we heard more voices from the other room.

That’s when Twilight began to panic quietly. “Oh no more ponies are here, just as we finally settle things down here.” Twilight having yet another spaz attack.

I myself however was calm about this until after a few seconds I remember I’m still half naked. Not only will they think I’m a monster but also a pervert. Great I thought monster was bad enough already.

As Twilight was trying to think up a plan, I however cracked open the door only to the point where I can sneak a peek at how many there are. There were three more ponies in this store.

One was an orange pony who had her mane tied like a ponytail (how ironic) and had a cowgirl hat not to mention she had freckles on both her cheeks. She also had a mark on her behind. It had three red apples on them.

The other one had a cyan color coat and that her mane was the color of a rainbow.
(Wow talk about showing off her pride). She also had wings on her back that must mean she’s a Pegasus.”

(WHAT THEY EXIST TOO?! I swear I have to get photographic evidence before I leave this place because if I get at least one photo of one of these creatures I’ll become famous.)

And lastly, there was another Pegasus only her coat was different from the other one. Her coat had like a sort of creamy yellow color and her mane was long and was bright pink as well. From what she looks, she’s one of those shy girls back at my world. How I know this is because if you’re friends with someone who avoids conflicts at all times, you can detect cowards and chickens. But this one’s different somehow; I don’t know it’s just a feeling.

As I was still peeking, I caught a glimpse on their behinds and they all have different images of tattoos. “Wait those aren’t tattoos… I remembered about two years ago that my sister said something to me about these marks. What were they called again?” I try to remember what it was called until my train of thought was disrupted by what might have been the most frightening moment of my life.

“Hey Rarity who’s that behind your door?” said the orange mare. On cue, I immediately close the door and ran around looking for anything I can hide. Twilight then looks at me with frightful look she knows what’s happened.

“They saw you didn’t they?”

I nod my head answering her question.

Then an idea hit me. I run to twilight’s direction and whispered to her ear and told her what she should do. I told her that she should go out first and introduced her friends to me, that way if one of them reacts in a bad way, she’ll just use her magic to stop them before they can do anything to me first.

After I was done telling her, I look at her and she agrees to my plan. So I sat down in the middle of the room, grabbed my DS and started playing it. Twilight goes out and my plan is initiated.

I turned down the volume and listen to what they were talking. What I heard was kind of vague but it sounded like she was explaining something.

“Good she must be talking about me.”

Then after about 2 minutes later, the door is open and out comes the cyan Pegasus.

“Please Twilight how can he possibly make me overreact? “

When she finished her sentence she turned her head to my direction and was shocked by the look of me. It was awkward for a second until I utter a simple

“Hi?”

No more when I blinked and she came charging at me with full speed. Luckily the purple aura was surrounding her. I predicted she would have reacted first, but what I didn’t account was how fast she was.

She and I were face to muzzle about a few mere inches when that happened I fell back from my seat and yelled out “Jesus F$@king Christ!”

I recovered from my mishap but no long when I heard hoofsteps coming at my direction. I looked at where the sound was coming from and it was the orange pony coming at me.

“Not again!” I covered my arms waiting for whatever she was planning. Then later, the noise came into a halt. I put my arms down and saw that she too was surrounded by purple aura.

I gave out an exhale and stood up and looked at Twilight. “Thanks Twilight.” She nods her in agreement.

“Don’t mention it. Now as for the both of you…” She then brings the two ponies on each side and gives them a disappointing glare.

“I told you girls to not overreact and what do you do?”

Just as she was about to scold them, the yellow Pegasus fly’s at my direction and tackles me, landing on my still recovering stomach.

I reacted by covering my face, closed my eyes and shamelessly said “Not the face!” As I was waiting for what she was going to do I didn’t expect her to say these words. “Oh my gosh are you hurt?” after she said that she just hugged my chest.

I opened eyes, slowly pulled my arms down and said the first thing that popped out of my head “What?”

END OF CHAPTER 4

Chapter 5 – The Pink Menace

When the yellow colored Pegasus tackled me, I thought for sure she was going to trample me till I was a bloody pulp. I close my eyes and listened what I assumed were my final thoughts.

(I can’t believe she actually tackled me. I mean by the looks of her, she looks like she couldn’t hurt a fly. In fact I think a fly could hurt her. Damn it! I let my guard down now I’m paying for my mistake.)

“Not the face!”

After I said that, she spoke.

“Oh my gosh are you hurt?” As soon as she said those few words, I slowly opened my eyes.

(Wait is she really asking me if I’m ok?)I then look back at her again to make sure if I heard her correctly.

“Mind repeating that again?” I asked her.

“Are you hurt? From what I observed, you’re injured here and here.” She then points to my right arm and chest considering I have nothing to hide literally.

“I get that but what’s more confusing is that why’d you thought it was a good idea to tackle me?”
After I said that, the yellow one realized what I said then got off my chest and started apologizing like some anime school girl. Saying sorry this and sorry that but she didn’t hurt me that bad I just got me by surprised.

“Ok your forgiven now enough with the apologize, kind of sounding like you committed a crime.”
After she had calmed down, I stood up, grabbed the chair I fell on so that I can sit on it again. After that I look at the two ponies that damn near assaulted me.

“Hey again thanks for stopping them though to be honest I didn’t account that she was going to be that fast.” I then pointed at the one with the rainbow colored mane.

“Oh yeah want to know how fast I can kick you out of Ponyville?”

“Oh and how are you going to do that? Because from where I’m standing; I don’t see any asses being kick from where I’m standing.” After that I flipped her ‘the bird’ and to her partner too.

“I have no idea what you’re doing with those claws of yours but once Twilight to let us down, you’re going down.” The orange cowmare threated. But this just made me laugh because what sort coward is afraid of ponies.
…
……

Ok I was scared in the beginning but Unicorns and pegasis can mess someone up. But a regular pony is what it is; I think I can handle her and probably her pegasis friend if I’m lucky.

“Ok that’s enough you three.” Twilight exclaimed. Once she said that, the room became silent. She then looks at her two friends.

“Now I’ll say this again, he’s not here to hurt anypony and as you can see he’s… quite different from the rest of us.”

(A lot different if you ask me.) I thought to myself.

“But he’s nice once you get to know him.”The two were both contemplating whether I was a threat or not. But ultimately they both decided that they should trust their friend’s advice. Once both were in the ground they came to my direction to take a better look.

I didn’t do much I just sat in my chair, waiting if one of them tried to pull a fast one on me. For almost a minute we didn’t let go of each other’s peripheral vision until I had to break the ice.

“So are we going to chat or are you two done checking me out?” I said with a smug look on my face. At first they were confused but once they both figure out what I was insinuating, the two looked at me with anger but I can tell they were blushing a bit.

“Shut up you shaved ape.” Exclaimed the cyan pegasis.

“Yeah what she said yah two legged varmint.” The orange pony insulted me.

“Wow I never felt so insulted before in my entire existence. In fact I got something to give you two.” I said sarcastically. After I said that I reach my back with my right hand, clench it, put it back in front of me then showed them my hand.

They both looked at my hand then the cyan pegasis spoke first.

“Um what are we looking at exactly?”
“It’s all the f$%ks I carry and apparently I ran out.” I said to them.

The look she had was apparent that she didn’t understand what I just said.

“(Sigh) Anyways if you don’t mind me being a bit forward, might I ask what your names are?” They then tell me what their names are and after that I sort of wished I didn’t. The orange one is named after a freaking cereal brand and the other well it sort of made me think even more if she was a lesbo or not. Don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t give a damn if someone swings that way. You know ‘heart wants what the heart gets’ and all that crap. I then tell them my name.

“The name’s David. David Grant.” I lifted my arms and crouched down to their size so I can shake their foreleg. Both shook each hand. I feel like I should apologize so that they know I have a heart. Hey I may be an ass, but I’m an ass with a heart.

“Hey sorry about how my… appearance scared you a bit.”

“Don’t worry about it Mr. Grant it was both our fault for overreacting right Dash.” Applejack then looks at Rainbow Dash almost looking like they were telepathically talking with each other.

“Yeah what she said.”

(Damn whipped much?) I thought.

“Hey you don’t have to call me ‘Mr. Grant’ just David is fine and also I forgive you both.”
“I got a question.” Rainbow Dash asked me.
“Yeah? What is it?”
“Why are you dress like that?” she then points at my boxers. I nearly blushed but then I kept it in check so I can answer her.

“Rarity wanted to help fix my ripped up clothes from yesterday. However they were the only ones I had so I thought I might change her mind but things escalated quickly and now there in even worse condition as before, all because I didn’t accept her offer.” I finished explaining.

“Yeah that’s Rarity for yah, when she wants to be generous, she won’t take no for an answer especially when it comes to clothing and fashion.” She then laughed about this supposed fact she told me.

I can’t say I laughed a bit too considering if I just said yes then this would have been avoided. I wasn’t paying attention but Applejack grabs my hand with her hoof and pulls it towards her view. How she even grabbed my hand was a question I can’t answer.

”Why do you have Celestia’s Cutie mark on your…” Trying to figure out what is my hand.
“Hand. It’s called a hand.”
“Yeh hand. What’s up with this?” Pointing her hoof on the marking.

This strikes Rainbows interest and she started asking question that’s similar as Applejacks. Then Spike and everpony else in this room wanted to know what was up with my mark.

I told everpony except Rarity since she had to fix my clothes. She was disappointed but I told her I’ll retell it at a convenient time.

With all the mares following me to the kitchen, I prepared for God knows how many hours I’ll talk. I mean I got a lot of things about my family history and holy carp it’s a lot to the point it could be turned into an autobiography. Well can’t let them wait so I’ll be back in maybe 4 or 5 hours tops.

6 Hours Later…
Holy hell there was so many questions that I think I lost track of time itself. They have asked nearly everything they need or wanted me to say. During that time I asked who the yellow one’s name is and her name is Fluttershy.

After that she had asked me about from environment to and dietary needs for a human. All of them were a bit shook up about me knowing I eat meat. But once I told them that there were other ways for me of getting protein instead of meat I’ll be fine. But it will suck that I’ll never again eat meat for a long time.

Rarity fixed my clothes during some time during my lecture. Once I was able to wear clothes again Rarity asked about fashion back in my world. I then thought of all the clothes back from home; some good some bad and a few that were God awfully wasted. Seriously what was Lady gaga smoking when she designed that dress made entirely of meat?

“Their fine Rarity but that subject I’ll tell you later.” She was sad about picked herself up when the time is right.
I also told them about our technology & history, how good and bad they were to us. You know the basic and the likes. Then we got to my family linage.

“Are there any more questions?” As I asked that question, Twilight was the only pony that raised her hoof while Applejack , Rainbow and Spike were sleeping behind each other’s back while Fluttershy looked at me with intriguing eyes which is adorable but sometime later it sort of creeped me out.

“Yes Twilight?”

“So for as long as 500 years, your family linages have had this marking ever since the day all of you were born?” I was surprised she listened to me the entire time because in the beginning we don’t see eye to eye. I answered “yes” and she then started asking about more technology based question. I guess when we got to super computers she really got into it.

Questions poured out of Twilight until I walked around the room and looked outside the window. I couldn’t believe that the afternoon had turned to nighttime.

“Wait a minute… girls what time is it?” I look at their general direction.
“Its 6:30 why?” Twilight answering my question.

“Oh no.” As if on cue, my stomach begins to rumble not only making sounds but begins to eat itself. I wrapped my arms around my stomach to try and stop the pain but it was inevitable because there was one important thing I forgot to and let this slip my mind.

“Sooooo hungry.” I let out a small moan.
During that time they were afraid I fainted again, but once they heard me say those words they all just face palmed or face hoofed themselves. Rarity was the first one to speak.

“Don’t worry yourself dear, you can have anything you want from my kitchen if you like.” I get up and kept holding my stomach try to keep it from eating itself.

“It’s ok I’ll get something once Twilight and I get back to her home.”

I don’t want her to keep giving me things because she’s already been though my bad behavior not going to keep dragging it along by mooching off her food. Beside I’m Twilights roommate I’m supposed to mooch off her because well it’s sort of funny making her spurge out over my antics.

”Oh o…ok then that’s fine.” Rarity said kind of sadden about the situation.

“So can you teleport us out of here Twilight?”

“I highly doubt that nopony is going to see you at this time of night. I’m sure we’ll be fine walking to my place.”
As much as this is bullshit, I have to agree. No one is up at this time of night, in fact when I looked through the window there was not a pony insight. Beside I needed fresh air and exercise was a good idea so why not.

10 minutes later…

Before we left I had all my bandages removed and was finally free from those smelly old rags.
We all made it to Twilights home. As much as I think it’s ridiculous that a library can be a home and also a tree, I threw away logic long ago since Twilight teleport us from her home to Rarity’s boutique. I was more surprised when we started walking from here. It felt like the whole village became empty again.

We get to the door and Twilight opened it and she let me in first. I guess that it was for precaution if someone was outside but I doubt that anyone in their right mind would…

“SURPRISE!!”

My thoughts were interrupted when not only my worst fear has come to life but also the one pony that will forever be in my nightmares.

“Surprise! My names Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for…” Without her finishing, I ran away from the house
as fast as my legs can carry trying to run from her. Ok that one time I was a coward, but I seriously hate surprises. What I learned from this day was that if a pony see’s you warning or not, you run like it’s no tomorrow if I ever get a tomorrow.

I ran from all direction but for some reason heaven forbid that this pony was fast and that no matter which direction I go to, she always found me or pops out of nowhere.

(How the hell does she even find me, if I’m going in random direction?!) Furiously asking myself that question trying to come up an answer.

I don’t remember how much distance I ran but how my lungs feel like they’re about to burst, I think I could give the track and field club a run for their money. After about stopping to catch my breath, I look behind my shoulders and I don’t see her anymore. I finally let in a deep breath and sighed knowing that I finally lost her.
It didn’t last long until I heard a familiar voice in front of me.

“Wow for a human you sure are fast.” The mysterious voice sounding impress.

I look in front of me and it was Rainbow and the other four ponies looking at me with awe in there expressions.
(Where did they come from?!)

I look around my surrounding’s and I couldn’t believe that I just came back to Twilights home without knowing where I was running. Not only that but I was even more surprised on how abnormally fast I was.

“What the hell?! Have I just been running in circles or something?!” Before any of them can answer my question I told them to forget what I ask and told them to get inside the house.

We all go inside the house which was surprisingly dark but I didn’t mind it. As we got inside I tried finding a light switch or a candle to light the darkness.

I wasn’t expecting that the light would actually would just pop out of nowhere. Once it did so the entire room was full of ponies; multi-colored, small ponies as far as the eyes can see. When I saw all the ponies, I could have swear that my heart had skipped a beat, because the pink pony that was chasing me earlier popped out of nowhere next to the five other ponies.

“As I was saying I’m Pinkie Pie and I threw this party just for you.” With a cheery voice in her tone.
After this point my eye began to twitch and I had to ask this question.

“How can you sound like … (inhale) you hadn’t been chasing me (inhale) just now.” Trying to keep my balance.
The pink pony which she is named Pinkie Pie rubs her hoof to her chin and answers with a simple

“I don’t know.” Putting both her front forelegs in the air. At this point I just collapsed. Must be exhaustion or maybe a heart attack. I think it was a heart attack that did this to me and she caused it.
(Damn you pink one.)

…

What felt like minutes became hours in my little world. Then what seem like eternity, I slowly began to wake up. As I was waking up, small voices began to rise up and my blurred up vision slowly come into clear. Then when my senses come into clear, there were multiples of sorry and I was greeted with six ponies. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight, Applejack and… ”Pinkie Pie!”

I was about to jump up and run again until Applejack held me down, told me to calm down and that she means no harm. She also explained that she’s a harmless pony that she just wants to throw a party just for me.

“Hold on for just a second, you want to throw a party… for me? Why?!” I ask still trying to process what’s happing.

“I threw this party because when I saw you running towards Twilights home yesterday I thought you were friends with Twilight and since Twilights one of my bestest friends that would mean your also my bestest friend.”

After she said that, she locked all her hooves around my body into a hug, a very strong hug I might add. I was going to tell her to back off, I didn’t liked to be hugged, and that we were never EVER going to be friends after everything she put me through. She’s those types of people that will drive me into the edge if she pushes me too far. I guess this is karma telling me to stop procrastinating Twilight which I’ll never stop doing because screw karma.

But I held back because behind her were a group of ponies. That meant that I was still in Twilight’s home which also meant that this “party” was still going on. If I told her all of that, she would probably cry and I end up getting turned in to bloody orange juice with pulp due to my condition. It took every ounce of my fiber and well-being to smile and say.

“It’s really nice of you and that I hope we become (GULP) the bestest of friends.

(God please kill me.)

“Good because I was afraid that you hated me or that you didn’t like this party.” Sounding like her guess was correct which it is.

“Noooo what gave you that idea?” Lying though my teeth.

“You’re right, why would I think about that. Now let’s get you up and PARTY!” bringing her hoof in front of my face booping my nose and grabbing me up and in no time I’m up in my feet surprised that she was strong enough to get me up.

“How did you… I mean … GAhhhhh forget it just tell me where I can find the buffet table, I’m hungry.” I said with anger in my voice causing some of the ponies to step back.

“Oh it’s right over there right next to the two punch bowls.” Pointing a hoof at a table not too far.
“Thanks” was all I could say.

When I walked to the table, ponies began to move away from my direction and were still looking at me with fright in their eyes.

(Good. That way they won’t bother me.)

I get to the table and I was welcomed with cupcakes, chips and a few carrot sticks and celery.

(Meh, I don’t care if there are veggies in this table just as long as I get something to stop this stomach pain.) Without wasting anytime, I dug in and ate nearly a fraction of the food that was on that table as fast as I could. I have a very high metabolism thus having a somewhat scrawny body but I still have a few muscles.

“Wow! That’s amazing” Pinkie Pie sounding impressed.
“Not only had it been 30 seconds, but eaten only a fraction of the table. He really must have been hungry.”

(Kid you have no idea how hungry I am.)

“I betting he can eat as fast as Dashie.”
When I heard “Dashie” she must have meant Rainbow Dash. How cute.

Oh no please tell me she’s not going to…

“No way is he faster than me in anything. If he wants a challenge so be it.”

(God damn it.)

I’m not going to even explain how it turned out because of how graphic an eating challenge can be, but long story short I lost. Do I give a damn? No, but it was worth the lost because after she won, she started to lose her balance then she covered her mouth and flew what I believe was a bathroom. The door was a little opened and I heard vomiting sounds.

I couldn’t help but laugh because her big ego just screwed her over. After that event, I thought it was even funnier to bring two party cups and fill them with some punch so Dash and I can celebrate her “victory”.

I knock on the door and when she opened, I hold out my right hand and said “A toast to the winner.” When she looked at the cup she goes back to the room closed shut and I overhear vomiting.

I swear losing can be a gift in disguise. Without wasting the drinks, I drank both of the cups. What was weird was that it tasted strange somehow. I can’t tell what it was but it tasted sweet but there was something else I don’t know why.

Pinkie Pie was next to the table that Dash and I sort of massacred.

“Wow! I never seen Dashie eat so much food before in one party.” Sounding surprised. “And you” pointing a hoof at me. “Why aren’t you somewhere else looking for a place to you know… upchuck.”

I explained Pinkie what really happened.

“Because Pinkie I was hungry for two or one days I don’t remember and not to mention that I slowed my eating pace so I can see how fast she can eat in case I want to challenge her again.”

I then get to her eye level and whispered in her ear and said

“I let her win only because her ego is as high as she can fly.” When I said that, Pinkie began rolling around laughing her ass… er flank off.

I ignored her and went to the punch bowl and took another cup or two and drank it. It was tasty but it had that taste that keeps escaping me. I had to ask Pinkie what was the ingredients. She stopped laughing and got up again.

“Come closer.” Gesturing her hoof to get me close. I complied but kept telling me to come closer. When she finally was satisfied, she whispers.

“It’s a secret.”

(Are you kidding me?) I thought to myself.
“But I can tell you what’s on the other punch bowl.”
“Well what’s in it?” holding my annoyed tone.
“The reason why there are two is that one of them is that Berry punch accidentally spiked one of them. That’s why there’s one more. “Still whispering.

Wait a minute did she say one of them was SPIKED!? I run to the punch bowls and turned the left one around and saw a label. It had the words regular. I check the right one and it said… SPIKED! I nearly fainted when I realized that I drank not one, not two, but four cups of it. I was still a virgin on alcohol so that meant that its effects are going to hit me…HARD. I tried to calm myself but it wasn’t enough. Slowly my eyes began to fade a little and a blurry Pinkie pie was in front of me.

“Umm are you O.K David? After that all memories of that night had vanished.

End of Chapter 5

Chapter 6 - Exploring the town

Chapter 6 – Exploring the town

(Damn my head hurts.) As my thought s are now focusing on the throbbing and pounding in my head.
(So this what a hangover feels like to mom and dad after that New Year’s Eve party back at 2009.)

My parents were never heavy drinkers but when it comes to parties and special occasions, they would sometimes go out of hand in drinking while the other stays sober so we go home. It’s always hilarious in the morning when one of them fights over to see who uses the bathroom.

I swear my head felt like it gained weight because if felt off balance for some reason.
(Must be one of the side effects when it comes to a hangover.) I thought.

I also noted that my breath tasted bad so I blew out my breath and smelled it.

(Gag) Jesus Christ, that smells horrible!) Yelling in my thoughts.

I then tried to leave that thought away by trying to figure out what happened last night.

(Ok I got transported to another world ruled by talking ponies from a little girls show, fell down a tree, nearly got attacked three times if I can recall correctly, and was ambushed by a pink pony.)

I stopped thinking after I said pink pony.

(Ohh yeah… what was her name? Was it Pinkie Pie? Yeh I believe so. She threw me a party and I was in a food eating contest with Rainbow and she won but lost her lunch or was it dinner?) I laughed in my head when I recalled giving her a congratulatory drink but went back to the bathroom to continue her loss.

(Now that I remember it’s time to wake up and get out and have a lite jog.)

I knew in my head it wasn’t a good idea to get out and do any activities while having a hangover but I can just pop some aspirin or anything that can get rid of this headache. And besides I remembered that nearly half the town knows of my presence. Not to mention that I got to formalize the town and its surroundings so that when I go out I wouldn’t get lost and ask direction.

I try getting up but for some unknown reason something was dragging me. Then I heard an annoyed moan coming from behind me so I turn my head around. I only got a peek but I could tell it was Twilight and she was holding me in an embrace not too loose or too tight. Now normally, this thing would have freaked me out because I didn’t have a shirt on, but right now I didn’t care at the time.

“Wait what time is it? “ I then try to dig into my pockets and thank fully they were still on last night so that’s a good sign. I took at my phone, press the button to turn it on and thanked God that it still had power left. I peek at it and it reads 7:11.

(A little too early but still, couldn’t say a good time to wake up.) Now that one issue was taken care of, there was still the fact that I need to get out of here but not wake Twilight up. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to ruin her sleep, but I was somewhat afraid if she was those types of women that didn’t want their beauty rest ruined. But I doubt it since Rarity looks like one of those types.

(Enough fooling around think.) I try thinking up a way to get out of this situation and an idea hits me. I grab a pillow from my side and very slowly I slip under her hoof that was around my neck. Now that the easy part was done, the hardest part was her foreleg around my waist.

This might take a while so wait for a few minutes will you?

30 MINUTES LATER…

“Sorry pillow.” I quietly apologize to the inanimate object. During my process of getting out of the bed, I wiggled out from her viper-like grip and let me tell you it wasn’t easy but by some miracle I made it out. But poor pillow had to act as my body double.

I was about to leave the room but when I looked back at Twilight she really did look like she was enjoying her cuddle fest with that pillow. It was so adorable that she was sleeping reminds me of how Ruth would always cuddle her stuffed animals back at home. I had to take a photo of it not because of how disgustingly adorable it was, but how this would cost a fortune if I come back with evidence of real life aliens.

That and if that doesn’t work because of the government thinking I was some sort of crazy conspiracy theorist and photo shopped it, I’ll just sell it and commission the damn thing on Deviantart for a price.

With one quick snap, I finally left the room and left the home but not before I brushed and rinsed my teeth first.
I knew exactly where the bathroom was but it was difficult how I was going to brush my teeth since I didn’t bring my tooth brush along the “trip”. I looked in the bathroom and it would seem that it looks like your average looking bathrooms back on earth.

(Wow, this place looks pretty nice.)

It had a bath, a sink and a toilet? Ahhh whatever I threw logic out the f#@king door since I got here and met pinkie pie so to hell with logic it goes.

I looked at the sink and found three brushes. One was purple, one was green and the last one was blue. I guess the one in blue must have indicated that it was mine while the others must belong to Twilight and Spike.

I used the blue one and bruised with it. I was right; it tasted like it was never used before nor has a weird taste. After I popped open an aspirin bottle and swallowed two pills, it was time to get out.

I felt the morning air go through my nose and it was amazing. There were no cars honking, there were no people or ponies walking (for that matter) just me and a dirt road. I then started with a light walk. After about a few minutes I started to speed up a little.

I have to say it was quite peaceful aside from the hangover, the whole village was colorful something you wouldn’t see on Earth.

“A bit too colorful for my eyes but I’ll digress.” Talking to just myself.

I walked over a bridge that was under a river and I stopped my walk to take a rest and look around. I closed my eyes and listened to the flow of the river and it really had washed away all my problems away except one. The only problem on my mind was “How am I supposed to get back home?”

I was into deep thought trying to comprehend the situation I was in and a damn good question it was. How was I supposed to get back home?

“Space shuttle? No I don’t have the knowledge or the compartments to make one and even if I did, where the hell would I be? If I just go around space I’ll never find home.” I try to think of other means of getting out.
Then a memory comes back.

“Oh yeah now I remember, Celestia summoned me here so maybe there was a way I can get back.” Just as I said that, the word “summoned” was infecting my head.

(Summoned… I can’t shake that word off of me. What am I to her?)I keep asking myself that question over and over but no matter what, I can’t help but think that I’m some sort of pawn into her little plan. I can’t help but get angry.

(Who does that bitch think she is royalty? Ok maybe, but I am no one’s bitch especially to a horse.) The more I think about it, the more angered I became.

(Relax David; don’t go making false accusations not like last time.) I try to remember something back when I was younger. I let in a deep breath and finally exhaled.

(Good, just relax and don’t freak out like yesterday.) Now that I got those negative thoughts out of the way, I got back to jogging.

10 minutes later …

I found myself in a small hill not too far from Ponyville. I think it was the same hill that I landed two days ago or appeared I’m not quite sure how. I took in the scenery and it was fantastic. I let the sun’s warm full rays hit my face and felt like I can take on anything that came in my way. Well, all except this.

“I’m glad we meet again Mr. Grant.”

I turn around knowing who that voice belongs to. I did jump after the noise appeared out of nowhere but I calmed downed after looking at Celestia.

“Oh it’s you again.”

“You sound as if you hate me.” Celestia said.

“I don’t hate you, I’m just hung over that’s all.” I rub the back of my head to prove my point. Damn it all, the damn pills did nothing. She looked at me almost as if I told a bad joke. Oh shit was I aww screw it this really hasn’t been the worst thing I’ve done all year.

“Please allow me to elevate the pain.” When she came to my direction her horn started to glow which to me meant something bed was going to happen to me like last time. But when her horn touch my forehead, sure it sort of stung a little since the horn was a bit sharp however the pain started to go away. Eventually the pounding in my head stopped and I can tolerate the god awful brightness of the sun.

I looked up at her and thanked her for whatever she did to me.

“Your welcome. But there is one thing that’s on my mind; like how in Equestria were you able to get alcohol?”

“Hey not my fault Pinkie didn’t tell me in time before I drank like 4 cups.” After those last cups I don’t remember that much.

“I see. Well I should tell you that in Equestria things run differently here. I don’t know what sort of rules Earth has but here in Equestria the appropriate age is 21 to drink.”

(Shit! Wait maybe I can lie about my age here. I’ll just say that my birthday was a month ago. Please be gullible.)

“I should also mention that Twilight has already informed me that you are still in high school which also means you are still under age.”

(CRAP! She already knows. Damn it Twilight, why didn’t you keep that a secret?!) Damn I really hope Pinkie doesn’t get in trouble for this. Sure I hate her, but not have her get arrested for something she didn’t do because I didn’t tell her I was young.

“Ok so what? It was just one night it won’t happen again I swear you have my word.” I told her with all the confidents and urge to not laugh at my lies. Sure my first time drinking wasn’t what I expected but I’ll get another chance.

“I will hold you on that. But what I’m most concern is your education.”
(What?)

“Since I accidentally pulled you out of your world, I believe that I should help continue your pursuit of knowledge...”

(No she wouldn’t dare.)

“Twilight was able to convince Miss Cheerlie into letting you in her class after you and Twilight have made amazing points.”

(WHAT?! I never remembered anything of the sort.)

“So by next week you will be attending Miss cheerlie’s class by the end of the year.”

(FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU) Ok this needs to end NOW!

“Umm Celeste can I call you that?” I never gave her the chance to say anything considering I might have to go to school here of all places. Plus I’m not planning on staying here I have a life back home.

“Whatever I think this might be a really really (REALLY) bad idea. I mean come on I’ll be the only human in that class.” I then continue my argument.

“Beside can’t you just send me back home? I mean you did bring me here with magic, can’t you just send me back the same way you did before?”

Celestia looks at me with emotionless stare but a second later turns a bit sad.

“I am sorry but…” she then sighs then continues. “ It would be best if you looked on your right arm.” I was confused but I did as she told me so I check my arm to see it was nothing. Is this some sort of trick? That thought was thrown out the window when I check the bottom side of my arm. It looked faint but I saw a bunch of numbers and that the right side of the number was decreasing.

“What the hell is this? Why’s my arm looking like a time bomb?” Oh god maybe it is a bomb. Oh god I’m gonna die.

“Don’t worry yourself Mr. Grant. It’s nothing dangerous as you would think.” After she had told me about it not killing me I calmed downed a little but I was curious as to why my arm has some sort of timer. She explained to me that this “feature” was a counter for how long I needed to stay in this place until I was able to recharge.

But what I wasn’t concentrating on was; is it going to kill me? But that was it she didn’t explain to me how I was supposed to recharge on but what I did hear was me not dying from it which was a huge relief.When I told her how to recharge myself she just smile almost about to laugh which wasn’t funny to me because of what she had told me.

However I was glad that I wasn’t going to die young, lord knows I got more hell to rise.

“You will know soon enough but as of now I think it’s about time I leave you to your activities.” Good. I was glad she was leaving I never like talking to her anyways. As I turned to leave back to town, I suddenly realized that we never discussed the fact of me going back to school. When I turned around to protest she just vanished into thin air.

…
……

“OH COME ON!!” I screamed as loud as I can after that bullshit she pulled on me. First she got me scared after the bomb thing, and then she confused me after the explanation about my arm. Finally she got me to let lose about me not dying. Goddammit that bitch.

“I can’t believe it. I got out smarted by a damn horse. Son of a bitch.” I kept cursing as I left the place once more. When I came back to the town to look around some more, I came across a place that looked like a market district and it was starting to get a few peo… ponies in the streets.

When I was walking to try and find a much quieter place away from the crowd, most of them we’re looking at me not out of fear if I recall last night, but they were looking at me with curiosity. Whatever the case may be I just needed to get the hell out of here.

After walking a couple of blocks, I saw a vendor that was selling carrots for…shit forgot I can’t read their language. But whatever it costed I didn’t have it yet but I was hungry. I could go back to Twilights and get something but then again if she had an all hay meal diet and that’s worth taking the chance.

I waited for the pony merchant to be distracted by someone else and once she was distracted, I was able to nab a 4 carrots and stuffed them in my red hoodie, then I went on to the next vender that was selling strawberries. I did the same process from last time and once I was satisfied, I left the market place and found an ally to hide.

“God that was too easy. I sort of wished I got caught back there but whatever I got me something to eat.”
Before I could even get a single bite from one of the carrots, some rope was lassoed on my right arm and before I knew it, I got both hands tied behind back and I fell backwards.

“Gah! What the hell.”

“I really hope you paid for those items.”

(Oh God no. Please don’t let it be who I think it is.)

(Oh but it is.)

(Who the hell said that?) I thought to myself after hearing another voice.

When I turned my head around the direction I saw who the hell lassoed me like I was some bull. And speaking of bull it was none other than the cow pony that nearly tried tackling me last time. It was Applejack. *Snicker* still can’t take the name serious after all she is named after the cereal.

“Look as you can tell I’m not from here.”

“Yep.”

“So you understand that I have no currency to buy these.”

“Seems about right.”

“So can you let me go so I can give these to Twilight?” I lied about the last part but whatever it’s not like she can…

“Something tells me that these weren’t meant for her and that you stole them just for fun.”

“I have no idea what you’re implying I can assure you that my deeds were pure and simple and I was looking out for my hostess.” Oh God please fall for it I’m running out of ideas plus I don’t know where my knife is so I can break loose.

“I saw you stole those carrots from Golden Harvest and not to mention those strawberries you hiding under those clothes of yours and with a smile as wide as a cheshire cat when you did it too.”

“Ok so how much is it going to take to keep this out of Twilight? I promise I won’t steal again, you have my word.” This means nothing to me. Seriously I played this game so many times before and all those times it has work in my favor this long there was no way she’s going to…

“Even if I did believe you something tells me your word doesn’t mean anything to you.”

(GODDAMMIT! How is it she called off all my BLUFFS?! Great, now I’m really am going to prison this time and uncle Tommy isn’t going to get me out of this time. SHIT!)

“However Twilight should know that her guest from another planet is out being a thief I think it’s fair that she should know about this.” She said this while having that all too familiar sight when a same cop catches the same guy over and over again; that shit eating grin.

She pulls on the rope that tied me down and I was force to follow her direction which was probable Twilights. God what have you got myself into this time.

End of Chapter 6

Chapter 7 – Yeah Science

“Ok ok I know what I did was bad but come on. It was just a few strawberries and carrots it wasn’t going to make a difference so long as I don’t keep stealing from them.” I kept explaining to Applejack about how not to actually considering taking me to prison while she still held a noose on my arm and dragging me like I was cattle.

Applejack was still ignoring my explanations.

“Come on this is bullshit you can’t just send me to prison for something so little.” I complained to her.

“Who said anything about locking you up?” Applejack told me although she sounded like she has something in her mouth.

“Wait you’re not taking me to jail?” I asked her a bit confused because if she’s not dragging me to jail then where is she taking me? It then dawned on me that as we turned another corner we came back to Twilight’s library. Oh? Oh. OH! Ooooooh crap.

We were getting close to the treehouse but I couldn’t help but think how I can get out of this and if she rats me out, Twilight will have my neck on a platter. Its bad enough I tried “hitting” on her teacher who just happens to be the ruler of this planet but that on the first day I get caught for theft.

(Gotta think of something fast and quick.)

“Hey you didn’t like messaged her before this right?” I asked her.

“No but you’re going to explain to Twi why you stole those produce from those ponies.” She told me.

(Hah good answer.)

(True that.)

I pulled the rope to my direction as hard as I can so that I can see my golden opportunity. No sooner did she stumble from my sudden resistance but once she stumbled to my direction that’s when I decided it was my only open window. She was at a perfect distance for me to drop kick right to the face. Out of all the places she could pull me to any where she had to have a tight grip on her mouth.

Let’s just say that once I got up again and looked at the damage she dealt she was and this is my professional opinion; Got knocked the f@#k out. I’m just surprised she didn’t get a black eye because I check both sides of her face and they look fine.

(Damn that is one tough equine.) I thought to myself.

I then undo the ropes and headed on over to the house. I then looked back on to Applejacks still body; I see that she’s breathing. Something inside my mind told that wasn’t cool I mean sure that was both fun and awesome plus I wanted to do that to somebody but I never had the chance to actually drop kick them. With her it just left me with a bad taste.

God damn it now I feel bad about it. I can’t just leave her like this. Stealing’s bad enough but leaving a helpless creature is going to give me bad rep and after thought, so like anybody with an actual heart, I carried her and tried finding the nearest pony that can send her to a hospital. I did found a couple of ponies that can help. Luckily the two of them weren’t as frighten by me in fact one of them who had a mint green coat and a lyre imprinted on her behind was gawking at me while her friend whose name was Bon Bon was listening to my explanation.

Good thing Bon Bon and the lyre pony were gullible enough to my story unlike Applejack who saw through my lies, how the hell did show know? I had a straight face, not a single twitch, nothing and yet she saw through them.
After the two left along with the lifeless body of Applejack, I was able to go back to the library without me getting in trouble although I can’t say what’s going to happen if Applejack wakes up.

…
….

“Shit” Was all I can say before I knocked on the door. When the door open, Twilight pulled me inside the library, I was ready for whatever she was going to say I mean an alien like me outside without some sort of supervision would probably get a nerd like scared especially if her ruler told her to watch me.

“Look I like to say one thing and that’s…” before I could say anything something unexpected happened. She hugged me almost as if I was like some kind of lost boy.

“Where the hay have you? I’ve been worried about you. Where did you go?” she kept asking and asking and asking until I had enough. I answered her where I was and what I’ve only been doing. She finally relaxed now that I answered her but I think I should tell what transpired outside her library.

HA! Yeah right like I rat myself out and have Twilight have a good reason to kick me out of her home no way am I sleeping out like a hermit.

“Hey I hate to ask but do you have anything to eat here. I’m starving in here. “

“From what I saw last night, I thought you’d be full from all the food you ate. You didn’t spare a single crumb from. ” Twilight joked.

“Yeah well doctor says I got to eat more considering a few years back I was a scrawny tyke.” It was true back then I was so thin that during lunch time periods in elementary, I get a second lunch; one for school and one from home.

“Oh that reminds me, I sort of want to ask you a favor.” When Twilight said favor I was a little curious.

“Go on.”

“Well it’s nothing but I’m I…I was wondering i…if you…” she was stammering. Oh no its one of those favors, you know the ones; the ones where they say it’s a small favor but it’s so enormous that they need to sugarcoat it. Oh well if it’s something I don’t want to do then I can say no.

“Well say it. Say what’s on your mind.”

“Well I read books about it and I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind if I can…examine you?” she finally said it.
I was a little skeptical at first considering what she meant by examine me. Like see what’s the difference between humans and apes? What hurts us or if things get dark, what’s inside our bodies? I was going to trend this subject lightly.

“Depends on what you mean by examine.”

“What I mean is that I want to study your overall physique like how fast are you, mental capacity and some samples like spit and blood. But don’t worry I’m only taking 3 milliters the same as a teaspoon.” Twilight explained.

I don’t know I mean this might not be so bad considering I got nothing to do. Plus if I said no, Twilight might think that she’s not qualified to be a doctor and that we might go to a hospital, which is where Applejack will be.

“Alright I’ll agree to do this.”

“You will?” Twilight with an excited look and tone. Oh God what have I done.

“Sure so long as it’s not something I don’t want to do.” Just because I agreed to be a test subject doesn’t mean she has any right to put my life on the line for the betterment and understanding of humans.

“Oh don’t worry you have my word that if thing s get too uncomfortable for you, I’ll stop right away.” Twilight promised.

“Alright so where to doc?” I joked.

Twilight tells me that her lab is in the basement which sort of made me a bit worried because seriously there were movies that have this sort of scenario where the characters never were heard from again. However it would have been that if it weren’t for the fact if she wasn’t a freaking pony, so I thought she wasn’t something I can handle and besides if the situation arises, I can actually say I beat up a unicorn in my stories so that’s a bonus.

We went down to the basement and holy crap the place looks awesome. There’s a huge ass machine down here it was lighting up and that there was a chemistry lab that had all sorts of different colored chems. I swear this is why science is damn cool.

“Sorry if the place is messy I haven’t been in this room since the whole Pinkie sense incident.”
“The what incident?” I wasn’t paying attention due to me being a little busy looking over the room. I swear this place looks amazing.

(I wonder if I can make this place my room.) I always wanted my own lab.

“Don’t worry it’s not something you should be worry too much but be cautious when Pinkie twitches.” Twilight told me.

“Yeah whatever.”

There was a metal table that was cluttered with paper I assumed was previous data or something. Anyways she used her magic to levitate the papers and dropped them to another table that was also full of data.

“Ok you can sit here or laydown if you want. I just need to bring in a few supplies and turn on a few things ok?” she asked.

“Fine whatever.” I sat on the metal table and waited for her to come back. As I was waiting for her, I looked around the room and notice there was a green glow coming from the cabinet that was next to the chemistry table. I walked to the table and opened the cabinet and found out that the glow was emanating from a stone.
I didn’t know why but I wanted to hold the stone.

Once I grabbed the stone on my right hand, the palm of my hand felt a bit tingly almost as if the stone was fusing onto me it felt nice. Actually the stone felt as if it weights nothing now. That’s when something didn’t add up when I looked to where the stone was it was gone. I was speechless like where did it go?

“I’m back.” Twilight announced.

(Oh shit!? Uhh I’m pretty sure she won’t know if she was missing one stone right?)

“Ok I’m back.” Twilight announcing her arrival. I on the other hand, was sitting on the metal table acting like I’ve been there the entire time. She brought over a bunch of items from books, a syringe, a Popsicle stick and sample cups. Seriously where the hell did she get this stuff aside from the books I mean?

“Ok first off let’s check your eyes.” After I had finished her eye exam, she took note on her clipboard and once she was done we went on to the reflex exam. Basically where the doc just hits you with a rubber hammer and sees how fast you react. After a few exams were done, we then come to the fun part; me running on a treadmill.

But she had me where a huge helmet during the run which was annoying considering it keeps slipping.Once the physical exams were over it was time for the blood and urine sample. First she took my blood then she gave me the cup to pee in. Once I came back from the bathroom, I came back downstairs I gave her the cup but she levitated the cup.

Damn if she wasn’t a unicorn that would’ve sucked because how would she carry the pissed on cup. Actually I don’t want to know.

It’s almost as if we did everything. Damn I sort of like being examined always gave me that tingly feeling. Twilight comes to my direction with yet another cup only it was smaller than the last.

“I thought you needed a urine sample. Why the other cup?” I questioned her.

“Oh this um this is for um…” Twilight was stuttering again. Ok this is interesting.

“Well what’s with the other cup?”

“It’s for um I…it’s if you don’t mind at least of course but…” Twilight’s cheeks were glowing red.
“It’s a s…sperm sample.”
…
….
…..

“*Snicker* and it took you this long to try and say it.” I can’t believe this. She is actually asking me to fap and in her house no less. I mean a hospital and a sperm bank maybe but here. HA!

I can already see that Twilight was getting angry for me on laughing at this request while still sporting a red blush.

“If this is your of saying no then fine.” Twilight was about to leave until I stopped her.

“Wait, wait, wait. Don’t leave I’ll do it. Ha ha.” I said after I stopped laughing.

“You…you will?” Twilight was a bit taken back for my cooperation. To be totally honest, it’s been a while since last time. Maybe that’s why I’ve been a huge ass for the past few weeks.

“But before I do, I just want to ask for one thing and that’s it.”

“What’s that?” she asked.

“Can I have this lab as a temporal room?” I asked while grinning.

Twilight was surprised about my request.

“But this is where I’ll be using to test the samples. Plus the entire room is messy.” Twilight explained.

“I like my rooms messy and to rebuttal you’re not seriously going to study all night are you?” I asked her.
Twilight was thinking about what I just said. Wait she was serious about working an all-nighter?

“Ok here’s the idea; why don’t we rotate who uses the room considering you need to study my samples while I need my personal space. Deal?” this was the only way I’ll be able to have the room. Like I said; I wanted a lab for myself.

Twilight was thinking about the idea.

“Are you well aware about the dangers and hazards of science equipment’s?” she asked.

“Absolutely.” Twilight didn’t look convinced about my answer so she asked me a bunch of questions about safety rules and what items are. Eventually I got them all correct for once I saw Twilight smile. I guess I must have got her trust about the lab which means…

“Ok you’ve got a deal. I think you’re responsible to have the lab on your own.” she raised her hoof which must have meant that this is a solid deal. I complied and shook her hoof.

“Sigh” Ok I’ll be back this might take a while.” I grab the cup and headed up stairs. Once I get to the bathroom it was time to ‘take the kids to the super bowl’. Ha.

5 minutes later…

So far so good but unfortunately I lost concentration when someone knocked on the door.

“David are you doing ok? What’s taking you so long?”

“Jesus Twilight it hasn’t been 10 minutes yet! It takes time!” I yelled at her. Seriously Twilight, don’t sneak up on a guy that’s ‘pounding the meat’. Again ha.

8 minutes later…

“Good it’s *sigh* been done.” I finally did it. I don’t know how considering there wasn’t anything to get me going what with the lack of “inspiration” and the internet. I climb downstairs to the basement to meet Twilight. I gave her the cup and she levitated the cup which was a good idea on her part.

Twilight puts the cup on the metal table along with the other samples and notes. She just looks at me like she has something to say.

“How long does it take for a human male to reach orgasm?”

Well that escalated quickly.

“uhh next question?” I answered a bit embarrassed and fazed.

“After what transpired a few minutes ago you’re uncomfortable about this now?” Twilight was agitated.

“Ok ok, fine I’ll answer.” I knew this was a bad idea.

“It varies on other humans, ok. I don’t know for myself considering biology wasn’t my strong suit. But I think like 20 or 30 minutes at best.”

“Remarkable.” She then levitated her clipboard and wrote something down.

“Tell more about the human mating rituals.”

(God damn it. I knew this was going to lead up to this. I swear this lab is not worth it. But I really do like it here.)

2 hours later…

Jesus Christ I feel like I’m back in middle school only I’m the one that’s explaining what sex is.

“All right I think I have everything I needed.”

“Good now can we get something to eat.” Shit I haven’t eaten since this morning.

“I only have one question then we can go out to eat.” God *sigh* whatever this question better not take up my time.

“Have you ever participated in those rituals with another human?”

OK I think I had enough of this.

“Come on Twilight lets go get something to eat I am starving.” After I said that I ran up the stairs. I heard her call out my name but I didn’t want to answer her question. Those types of questions should never come up in a conversation. EVER.

Once I got out of the treehouse/library, I waited outside for Twilight to come out. I mean I could go in town alone and steal me some food but last time I did that, a certain someone caught me. I could try my luck but I’m not that lucky.

Once I saw Twilight trotting over to me I just ran so she doesn’t lose me but not catch. Eventually I found a restaurant I think might serve good food. I found a waiter who might I add has a wicked French mustache and ask him a table for two. Luckily he found one just in time, because Twilight finally caught up to me.

“Why were you running from me? I just wanted to know if…”

“Twilight we’re outside in public you shouldn’t ask those types of question especially if there’s kids.” I pointed out to the couple with smaller ponies. Foals right?

Twilight knowing that asking those types of questions in public can result nothing but awkwardness around the place so she decide it might be best to talk about this in a more private setting.

“Just so you know I still have more question to ask.” Twilight informed me.

“I know.”

Both of us were ready to place our order; she got what was called a hay burger which gave me a very clear idea on what it’s made of, but for me it was sort of difficult to decide because most of the menu had a few with hay but there were those that had veggies that I hated. However beggars can’t be choosers so I got a veggie burger with fries.

We waited for our order and it finally comes. I got to say the burger isn’t half bad. Both of us were finished with our order, she paid the meal in full so we both left. We didn’t know where we should go considering I tried finding places where it’s highly populated so I can avoid more uncomfortable questions.

Eventually we were surrounded by Twilights other friends; Rainbow, Fluttershy, Rarity, and… Pinkie.
“Hey while you talk to these guys I’ll check whats on that vender ok? Thanks see yeh.” I got out of there as soon as possible no way I’m going anywhere near that pink monstrosity.

As I was browsing the vendor I overheard the conversation but they were hard to hear that is until Rainbow said something that made me almost shit bricks.

“Somepony attacked Applejack.” Rainbow Dash announced.

(Shit now I’m really screwed.)

(You know none of this would have happened if you had come clean.) Said a random voice. Now that I think about it, I keep hearing voices but I can’t find out who they were.

Enough about that I need to get out of that place. I found an ally where I can ditch the group. I finally got rid of those ponies but I still needed a place to hide.

“Well how do you stranger?” I turn around and looked down to see a light green pony with a white mane. She looks different from the rest of the ponies I seen, she looked old in fact she was scrawny. She looked like she was having a hard time standing on all fours.

(Wait this might actually work to my advantage.)

“Excuse me but I can’t help but notice that you’re having a hard time standing if I’m not mistaken?”
“Darn right you are. I’ve been trotting around town looking for Applejack.”

(Sorry lady.)

“She was supposed to come back but she never did. So I came here to do an errand and find her but I never did.”

“Oh she’s with her friends; something came up so she told me to find you Ms…I’m sorry I seem to forgot the name. I always do.” I then lightly clonk my head.

“Aw don’t beat yourself; everypony here calls me Granny Smith.”

“Why thank you kindly Ms. Smith. I’m sorry if this was an inconvenience to you.” I told her with a sad tone.

“Nope. It’s a good thing you told me otherwise I’d be tired to walk back to the farm with all the time you save me.”

“Well if you want if it’s not too much trouble, I can help you get to this farm of yours.”

(Yes it’s the perfect place to hide out and wait.)

“You don’t have to do that but I appreciate the help.”

“No but I do.” I then kneeled down.

“If something were to happen to you during your walk back, you could get hurt or fall down in the middle of the road and nobody can help you. That’s something I can’t have lingering in my head.”

This is actually me being honest here. Ever since my grandmother died I felt like I wanted to help the elderly whenever I can.

“Well if it’s that important I guess its fine by me.” Granny Smith agreed to my offer.

I then follow her on the dirt road however she was walking so slowly. So I offered to help carry her and after more convincing she agreed to let me I got to say this was pretty awesome and quite adorable. Gah enough of this mushy stuff, its time I get her back home. I then run on the dirt road to where this farm is.

End of Chapter 7

Chapter 8 – Feels like the first time.

“So where is this farm of yours?” I’m starting to have doubts considering I’ve been running for about 30 minutes while carrying Granny Smith. I know what you guys might be thinking; how is it I’m not getting tired after carrying her? Well she doesn’t weight me down that much plus I’m pretty strong for someone my size surprisingly. But I am starting to feel fatigue.

“Don’t worry it’s just up ahead.” I don’t know if she’s telling the truth considering I’m getting tired already. I then drop her down and followed. We continued walking on the dirt road which leads to a small hill, we continued the walk and once we came to the top, the view was amazing.

“Well here she is, Sweet Apple Aches.” Granny Smith pointed out a huge field that surrounded a barn and a small house.

“Wow.” Was all I can say after seeing the farm. Seriously this is my first time seeing an actual farm. I’ve always wondered what farm life looked like. After finally coming to my senses, I grab Granny Smith again so that we can get to the farm as fast as possible. After this I’ll head back to the town and if the girls were suspecting me that I left because I had something to do with Applejack in the hospital, then this will be my alibi.

Once I saw the gate, I drift on the dirt to stop myself next to the gate. I put granny down so that I can open the Gate for her.

“Thank ya kindly.” She complemented me.

“Don’t *sigh* mention *pant* it.”

(Damn I’m tired.)

“You sure you can head back?” Granny Smith began worrying about me.

“Don’t *pant*worry *sigh* about me.” I assured her.

(Ok maybe I should calm down a little. But if I don’t get back to the girls, they’ll think I bailed town because I put Applejack in the hospital.

(News flash; you really did do it.)

“Bite me.” I said to the voice.

“What was that?” Granny Smith asked.I look at her and realized there was no body but me and her. Maybe I should take a break after all I’m starting to hear noises recently.

“Ok Ms. Smith I’ll stay for a little while.” What can I say; I’m sort of a free loader.

“Well lets head on to the house you must be thirsty.” Actually I am.

“Thank you kindly.” I thanked her.

We both head to the house that is until I felt a small shake coming from the ground all of a sudden. The shaking became stronger almost every second I looked at the ground and the pebbles were trembling. That’s when something inside me told me to look back.

(Someone’s going to ram from behind.)

(You really couldn’t think of anything that’s not vulgar?)

I ignored whatever those two were about to argue but I looked back to check if it wasn’t lying. It wasn’t and I was going to thank whatever it was because there was a red pony whose height was around the ponies but slightly taller and it was charging at me with full force like a freighter.

“Oh shit!” I ran to the house so I can close the door on him. I ran as fast as possible but I was still tired after carrying Granny smith. Shit I wasn’t going to make it.

“Wait stop I’m not…” I never got to finish after the fact, I shit you not, he flung my ass so far I crashed to the door head first and that wasn’t over. Once I got my second wind, I turn around and saw that he was still charging. I tried to stop him by putting my arm out to him signaling him to stop.

“Wait. Mercy.” Was all I can say after I blacked out when something or that thing hit me. Damn it I’ve been knocked out many times before but this is the first time I’ve been knocked out by a pony. That’s going to the list.

After everything else I can’t seem to recall. The only recent memory I can come up with was a few voices that one sounded masculine, the other sounded like a little girl, Granny was there but that’s it. At some point in time I did wake up but this was all I can remember.

When I woke up I felt really weak. My body felt sore and that I was wrapped in bandages in my chest and my right arm was wrapped also. Lastly I was laying on something comfy. I think I’ve been sleeping on a bed all this time.

(Huh can’t believe this crap happened to me again. And to think the second time would have hurt less.)

(Feels like the first time right?)

“Yeah.” Wait where did that come from?

“Oh. Your awake?” said…said… oh shit.

“Don’t worry I have something that can fix that.” I looked over my left side only to see blonde hair and an orange figure in the dark. Guess it was nighttime. But what really made me worry was the fact that its legs were being pulled ready to…

“Whack”

And that is the story of how Applejack pulled the most bitches move; which was to hurt me at my worst health. What a bitch.

When I woke up the next morning, my head felt like I was run over by a freighter truck head first. Man my body was hurting everywhere and not only that, the sun was burning my eyes once I woke up oh god the light it burns. I felt like crap especially my face, it hurts and I thought things couldn’t get much worse but that is until I heard the magic word coming from downstairs.

“Breakfast is ready.” Said Applejack.

(Seriously no one should sound that happy after having been drop kicked.) Whatever I’ll ask her after breakfast seriously felt like I haven’t eaten since yesterday. Once I got my senses back I pull the covers off, got most of the bandages off of me and tried getting up. Surprisingly this should have hurt me considering I had my ass handed by that red pony. Guess they must have the same medicine that healed me last time I got knocked out.

I finally got up and headed downstairs and low and behold there was a plethora of apple bake goods. Wouldn’t surprise me considering this place has a shit ton of apples and who wouldn’t use their products for themselves. Everyone or I think everyone is here; Granny Smith, Applejack, the red jerkoff that beat me up, and… oh my god she is so small.

On the other side of the table, there was a small yellow pony with a bright red mane and a light red bow on her mane. If there’s one thing in this world that I have a soft spot for it’s both the elderly and baby animals. From the way she looks, she looks like she’s a little kid in pony years regardless adorable as hell.

When I sat down everyone including Applejack was looking at me almost as if something I miss.

“Why's everyone staring at me? Is it because I’m that good looking?” I asked them.

“You could say that or the fact that you got a raccoon’s eye on your right side.” Applejack answered me.

“A what eye.” I was confused until I looked down on my plate seeing the reflection on my face only barely. Around the light colors of my face, I see a smidge of dark color on my right side. Oh god what has she done.

“Excuse me for a second. You can go ahead and eat.” I stood up and speed walk to find the nearest mirror. I searched around the house until I found the bathroom with a full body mirror. I looked at the mirror and was just taken back by the shiner Applejack gave me last night. But I still couldn’t believe or hold back the outburst that came with it.

“OH MY GOD! MY FACE! MY BEAUTIFUL FACE NOOOOOOOOOOO!” This was my good side and now she ruined.

“GOD DAMN YOU AJ.” Was the last thing I said before calming down. I opened the mirror cabinet to find an eye patch and thankful there was one left. Guess my luck isn’t shit.

Now that I got all that out of my system and knowing the reason why my face feels like shit I think I’ll just go back to the dining table and just eat. That’s basically the only thing I can do considering they haven’t kicked me out already.

When I came down they all just looked at me almost as if I did something crazy. Oh…right.

“You’re all probably wondering why I’m not upset or for the most part, me not shaking Applejack like a ragdoll right?”

Before anyone can answer I believed it was right to set the record straight.

“Reasons why is because I’m hungry, but that’s just one. Others are because there’s a small child in this room and I hate to look like the bad guy.”

They all just look at the little pony then back to me.

“But that’s not the main reason why. It’s because at some point in the near future, Applejack will soon get her one up pence at some point in time and I will continue to inject as much fear in my threats to her as I can.” I then flashed Applejack my “I’ll f&*king murder you” look at her for a second and it worked. I only saw a tiny flinch from her giving me the satisfaction that this day will be fun for me.

“So what are we waiting for? I am starving.” From what they made I see they made a pie, probably apple. Then a fritter, juice, and God damn the entire table is almost filled with apple types the only thing that’s not apple related is the pitcher of milk. Regardless I ate as much as I can from the breakfast pile and I never felt this blissful from a meal before. I swear those apples will be the death of me.

Once they were done with breakfast, big red and the little one walked outside. Big red went to the fields while the little one went to the dirt road that’s headed straight to the town with bags in tow.

I stood outside the porch and looked at the fields and barn. To tell the truth I felt a sense of calmness around me, it almost made me forget about the black eye. Almost. But enough about this place I feel a lot safer away from
Applejack. I’m not scared I just don’t want to do something to make her angry or give her an excuse to kick my ass without me throwing the first punch.

As I was walking away from the farm, surprise, surprise, I get tied up by a rope. I can only guess who did it.

“And just where do you think you’re heading off to?” Applejack questioned me.

“I’m heading over to Twilight’s tree. And plus, farm life just isn’t my style.” Even if this place was nice enough to stay, it’ll get boring quickly and when I’m bored, my mind tends to get chaotic when there’s people unfortunate enough in my area.

“I guess you weren’t awake at the time.”

“Yeah I guess. What exactly do you mean?” I don’t like where this is going.

“Twilight thinks it’s a good idea for you to learn how to earn bits and what better way to earn them is working for me.”

(What?! She can’t do that and more importantly who gives Twilight the right to… wait bits?)

“What the hell is a bit?” I’m genially curious about this.

“A bits sort of like this.” She pulls out her hat with her hoof? How the hell did she grab it? When she did, she shook it and out pop a few gold coins. When I first saw the gold coins I was astounded by the fact those were gold coins. I couldn’t believe it.

“Wait a minute; those coins can’t be made of real gold.”

(Nice try horse but I’m way too smart to be fooled by the likes of you.)

I then felt the ropes loosen up then she tossed a coin to my direction. I caught it and felt it all around. It felt real but I was still not convinced, there was one sure fire way to make sure it’s the real thing. I bit the coin a bit hard to make sure if this was the real thing. I look at the coin again and examined it, if I made a dent then it’s a fake however there was no dent. Holy hell this is real.

“Shit this is real? And you ponies use this for currency here?” I then flipped the coin back to her and she actually caught it with one hoof. Ok that’s kind of impressive.

“Yep.” Applejack answered.

“Ok you convinced me to stay. But what am supposed to do here exactly?” I’ll comply only because if I saved up enough, then life back home will be a whole lot easier for me once I convert these to U.S bills once I get back.

50 minutes later…

“Gah!” I think I’m going to die here. For the past few minutes, I’ve been task to move barrels to the barn for God knows how long? I got to about two and already I’m tired. Seriously what’s in those things? When I slumped over the second barrel, I checked and see if Applejack was doing any worse for wear. She was just pushing it without missing a beat.

“Come on you still got a few more barrels left. I’m already done with my part. So I’ll leave the rest to yeh while I buck some apples.”

When she left, I muttered “bitch” to her and flipped the bird to get it all out of my system. I’m gonna get her for this. She just needs to slip up and I’ll be there to have the last laugh.

4 hours later…

“I feel like every bone in my body’s broke.” I can’t move my body; I feel like I wasted my entire life moving these things and for what coins? What sort of God planned this torture?

“HOOOWEE! Well I think it’s about time I should meet up with Twilight. Tell her you been a good help here.”

“WHATEVER!” That was all I can say after I laid my back on the ground, finally finished with the barrels.

“Oh and when I come back there’s a few other things I need help on. See you later David.”

And just like that I couldn’t hear her anymore. Good now I can wait for vultures to come for me. I was about to close my eyes until something started poking me with a stick.

“Hey Applebloom you think it’s still alive?” Said a girl with a boyish tone.

“I don’t know. Poke him some more Scootaloo.” Said the girl with a southern accent.

“I don’t think we should wake him up. Rarity says he’s a bad influence.” Said a squeaky voice girl.

*sigh* God damn it. Can I get a freakin brake for one day?

“Look if you here to call me names go ahead I’ve been named far worse then what you kids can think of.” I told them.

“Like what?” ask the girl named Scootaloo.

“I have a few but the most common ones are “You two face son of a bastard!” or the classic “You son of a bitch!” I said those quotes like an old man to add comedic effect.

“What’s a bitch?” Asked Scootaloo.

“What’s a bastard?” Asked the white colored light purple/light pink maned pony.

“Look umm what’s your name?”

“Oh sorry it’s Sweetie Belle.” She answered.

“Thanks. Anyways don’t repeat what I just told you.”

“Why not?” The one named Applebloom asked.

“Because if your sisters ever found out you learned those words from me, they’d have an excuse to kick my ass.” Damn it I did it again.

“What’s an ass?” Asked the one named Scootaloo.

(Either way, it’s going to revolve around me so why the hell not?) I thought to myself.

I told them what they mean by their original meaning then to their modern meanings.

“…and that’s why it’s never to be used unless you or someone you hate are without adult supervision.” Oh this will bite me in the ass eventually.

“Huh so in a sense Diamond Tiaras a bitch.” Said Scootaloo.

“I don’t know who this Diamond Tiara is but if she’s a bully here’s what you say if she ever gets to your nerves.” I signal her to get closer because I’m still tired. I whispered to her and told her something neither a child nor an adult should ever curse.

“But what’s a…” I shushed her before she could say it.

“You’ll know it when the time is right.” I told her. I got up still a bit strained, but got up on both legs.

“As much as I like to lay here and die, I really want to go back inside now.” I then limped to the house, went inside then lay on the bed I was knocked out. I slept for god knows how long but when I became hungry I woke up and it was night time. Ok seriously how am I still alive in this god forsaken place?

I open the door I hear no one making a sound guess they must have slept when I was knocked out.

"Guess she didn't need my help or that she saw me here almost half dead." Whatever so long as I had that nap it didn't matter.

All of them except Big Red and Applejackoff have been so kind to let me stay; I took off my shoes and tiptoed to the kitchen to get a midnight snack. Didn't want to wake the entire house especially Applebloom and Granny. I get to the kitchen and opened the fridge to find a pitcher of water and took random assortments of fruits.

Once I had my fill, I tiptoed back to my room but not before I heard someone crying on the other side of my room. I cracked opened the door and entered to see who’s room this was . I got close to the bed to see who it was and it was Applejack.

I was confused as to why she was crying maybe it’s something personal but this thing has nothing to do with me. Before I can head back I then heard more sniveling from her. I then look back having a dilemma.

(Come on let’s just go, this has nothing to do with us. Why should we care after what she did to us?”)

(And what exactly did she do?)

(She gave us a black eye, she rat on us and we had the worst day ever! Why should we even care?)

(Come look at her she’s crying. Are you really that heartless?)

(Yes I am. During our years together, I kept us from being hurt.)

“Will both of you shut the hell up.” I whispered almost blowing my cover. I checked on Applejack to see if she heard that and thankfully she’s still sleep weeping. Ok that sounded sadistic .

(Ok first off this doesn’t concern me. But for this onetime thing, I’ll try to calm her down without waking her up.)

(But…)

(Shut up!)

(Fine but if her brother comes in and sees us don’t say I didn’t tell you so.)

(I’ll keep that in mind.)

(Of course I’ll make sure he remembers.)

Both of them finally shut up but I still don’t know who those two are. Maybe those voices are my good and bad conscious. Or should it be my evil and less evil conscious.

Regardless what my alignment is, I can’t just let her cry. So I closed the door so the others don’t hear this. I… I haven’t done this to anyone other than my sister but for her I’ll make this an exception. I just wish there was some instrument I can play but there’s none around me so I’ll just do it the old fashion way. I sang her a song.

When I was sing to her I sort of petted her, I know it sounded like a creep would do but it actually worked. Guess whatever she was dreaming was something pretty bad. No one should have nightmares or night terrors I should know, I’ve lived them and it’s not enjoyable.

After I was done she finally stops, I grab a tissue from her tissue box on her desk to help dry the tears. I was hesitant at first but it just felt right at the time but I kissed her on the forehead like what parents do when there child finally slept. I hate to say this but it felt nice doing something right. But I tiptoed back to my room and got ready for whatever bullshit she’s planned for me.

“*YAWN* God this weeks going to suck." After that I finally sleep.

Third person view

Unbeknownst to David, a certain pony of the night witness the event that had transpired before her eyes, a creature she had not yet encountered. She knew of this creature’s existence through her sister yet it still astounds her to see a creature that walks on two and speaks fluent equine. That also meant that Celestia told her that the creature almost threaten her which almost made her worried not just to Celestia but to those that have to live with something that threaten one of their co-rulers.

“How very curious indeed.” Once David went to bed now was the time for Luna to know more about him by entering his mind so that she can have a way to know if he’s dangerous or not. Luna then conjured a thin white string from her horn in which was a way for her to enter the minds of other ponies. However as she connected the other end, everywhere around her was gone nothing but a dark place but her in the middle.

She looked around to see if there was anything other than total darkness. She eventually found a single door however as she was walking towards it, it was wrapped around in chains with five bright red locks. What was strange about theses locks was that there was no key hole as with all doors and locks it should have them.

“Hmm it would seem that whatever this hu-man… doesn’t intend on sharing anything from his mind.” Luna thought.

“However I must talk to him to know what his intentions are." With that Luna used her magic to open the locks. Try as she might, she was unable to open them. The more she was forcing to open the locks; the chains began to tighten around the door making it hard for her to maneuver them to open.

“Why can’t I open them? There are ponies that have some sort of security in their minds but these ones are different. Why can’t they…” before she can finish, the door began to make a sound. It didn’t make a sound only when a door is knocked, it sounded like when a heart is beating.

“So this door is not only his mind set, it is everything he feels and experience. No wonder it’s difficult to open it.” Luna knew that in order for it to open, the dreamer must open his heart to her which meant she would have to face him in realty in order for her to get in his mind.

“Nightmare night will come soon. And until that day comes, I will know what your true intentions are.”

Author's Note

Sup to anyone or anybody that's been reading this. Sorry it took so long but when Fallout 4 came out its become a drug to me now. I needed that fix man. However with its awesome gameplay, it will not stop me from writing which also gave me a question to you guys; which out of the fallout games are you favorite? If you never played any of them try either 3 or New Vegas. I prefer New Vegas. The reason why I choose this version of the song was because well I like this version better, sure I could have put the original and that was the first thing on my mind. But this one was well sung and I think she deserve recognition. Ghost, out.

Chapter 9 – A Bizarre Day

It’s been an entire week of me “helping” Applejack in her barn and let me tell you; if I had the choice between going to military school and staying another week in this place, I choose the military because this place is my hell.

For my entire life everything was always handed down to me with ease and when something was needed fixing or installed, there was a guy to do them. But this place was a far cry from where I was. There was Applejack and Big Macintosh, finally learned his name, that’s basically the entire crew with the help from there little sister in most occasion. I don’t know how they haven’t died from exhaustion but I’ll give them credit, they are tough.

For me however that’s a whole different ballgame. The first day was terrible considering I had a black eye thanks to my current boss [who is a total bitch by the way], nearly died for carrying 50 barrels worth of cider, and I taught three kids how to curse which will probably screw me over later. The days that followed got worse for me, there were parts in my body that hurt so much, I didn’t know there were in the first place.

This one time Applejack ask me to help fix her barn by nailing some walls that needed covered. When she gave me the hammer I looked at it like it was something I never seen before. I have but I never used it for anything to begin with. It was simple for me at first; all I had to do was hammer the nail to the wall. Simple right? WRONG! I thought if I hit it in one go it would help end my chore quickly, but all it ended was me having a broken thumb and index finger. I couldn’t do anything with my fingers for days but that didn’t stop her for making my life hell.

I had to move barrels, do errands, and this one time I had to walk her sister to their school. That last part wasn’t unpleasant per say, but none the less, my body felt like shit.When Tuesday came, I was one day close to payday whatever I was getting better been worth all the pain. Oh and more good news is that my eye got better I mean there’s still a bit of black in them but it’s hardly noticeable.

“Ok so what sort of sadistic idea you planned for me now Applejack?” I wasn’t even trying to hide the fact I hated her.

“Actually I’ll be gone for a little while so Big Mac here is going to tell you what to do next. Until then see you later.” Like that, she left the place to get to whatever she needed to go leaving me with her brother.I look at him angrily. I don’t hate the guy, I just feel uncomfortable with him after what he did to me last week. Still I just got to keep a sharp eye out on him so I can ditch work when he's not looking. I have not stopped working in this place not even for weekends and I haven’t been in the town to visit because I felt weak during my “job”.

“So what sort of crap do you want me to do?” I ask him rudely. He just pointed at the tree in front of my direction thinking I know the answer.

“So what am supposed to do? What do you want me to do with the tree?”

“I want you to buck the tree.” He answered.

“You want me to just kick the tree like how Applejack does it?”

(Ok is this guy high or something.)

“I can’t do that! I may have strong legs but I’m not that strong!”

“Then try I want to see if you’re telling the truth.”

Oh yeah over the course of me staying here, there were times where I slacked off in most jobs but no matter how my lies were covered and perfect, Applejack was able to know when I was lying when I was telling the truth. How the hell does she know? It’s like she’s a living breathing lie detector. Guess she must have told him I’m a slacker or something.

“Fine but if I pull a muscle or break my back you’re carrying me to the hospital.” He agreed to the terms and I was getting ready to do that thing Applejack does. I positioned myself on all fours and was ready to “Buck” those trees. I reared my legs and prepared to kick the tree with all my strength which ultimately failed.

“Son of a…” Before I could finish, the three little fillies were looking at a far distance. Damn there innocent looks I can’t curse around them.

“Belgium waffle” was all I can say after I failed my first attempt. I looked back and say that nothing fell.

“Figures I’m not as strong as…”

“Bonk”

“Ow. Who threw that…?” When I looked at the ground I gasped when just a single apple was right in front of me.

“Hot damn I guess I have gotten stronger.” Wait until Jason gets his one up pence when I get back.

“Not bad, but you really were giving it your all and well...” Yeah from a humans stand point, it’s an achievement but to them it means I suck that’s what he’s trying to tell me.

“Yeah told you I couldn’t do it, but hey progress.” I told him. He reached out his hoof to me to help me up. I accept his offer I mean he did promise to help me if I hurt myself.

“So what sort of other jobs I should do other than kicking apple trees.” I asked relieving the backache.

“I think this one time; I’ll let you have a day off.” He said.

“Mind repeating that again to me?” He can’t be serious.

He told me before I came to work for them; he was the one helping with all the work if Applejack was off with her friends. Big Mac also said that when he first saw me, I was some sort of monster trying to eat his Grandma so that was the reason why he attacked me. When I was working he saw all the times I tried staying up and the time I hit my hand with the hammer for the first time.

Guess that meant I have no ill will, despite my threat to his sister not to long ago. Or maybe it’s because I’m liability and that I’ll end up hurting myself even more if I keep working.

“Wow umm thanks I guess.” That’s all I can say considering this is sort of new to me. I walk out of that place and headed to the town. When I finally got there I just realized I have no bits.

(Shit I forgot about the currency here. How am I supposed to get bits?) I kept walking until I heard a familiar sound of fighting music, kids laughing and the occasional “You beat my high score!”

(I know those sounds. It’s…) I was in the middle of an outdoor arcade place. Holy hell an actual arcade now I really am at my home field but I’m still poor so how the hell am I supposed to pay to play.

“Aww fiddle sticks it ate my bits.” Said a small colt that was next to a token machine. Guess the machine was busted. Not on my watch.

“Don’t’ worry kid I know what to do. All you need to know is hit the right spots and…” I pound the machine at the spots that need to be hit and BAM out pops four of his tokens. I took them and gave them back to him.

“Wow thanks and I only put two bits in there thanks Mr.”

“Don’t mention it kid.” As he was walking away, an idea came to me. As more come to change for tokens, I asked them for two bits, I’ll give them twice the amount of tokens they needed. It was going well for 10 minutes until the owner came in asking what I was doing here he was looking at me suspiciously but I told him a lie I just came up at the spot.

I told that moron his machine was busted and that I stayed there to make sure the kids don’t have their bits taken. He went to the machine and put bits in there to see if I was lying to him. He apologized after inserting three only nothing to pop out. He later thanked me and told me he’ll fix it. He then put the “out of order” sign and that I left the place before he knew I just took a shit ton of bits from his broken machine.

As I was walking away, I found a place to count my bits and I just accumulated about 120 bits from my plan.

(Well shit that’s some accomplishment.) I thought to myself.

“Now that I got bits, now what?” I asked myself. I looked around the market place to see if there was anything I can get. There was a coffee shop around the corner and I went inside. Hadn’t had a decent cup of coffee for weeks.

(Seriously Applejack needs to buy coffee if she’s expecting me to do my best.)

I paid 5 bits for the coffee and when my order was ready and I grab the cup and find a seat somewhere near a window. As I was waiting for it to cool down, someone tapped my right side.

“Um excuse me but… is this seat taken?”

I turn to whatever the voice came from and it was this mare with a grey coat, a blonde mane. What was weird were her eyes. Her left eye was looking at me but on her right it was looking away at a different direction.

(Huh never met a cross-eyed chick before. Got to say; she’s kind of cute.) I thought to myself.

I wasn’t going to be rude so I answered her to sit at my table. I’m mean I wasn’t going to stay their anyways. As soon as I’m finished with my drink I’m just going to leave.

“Thanks mister.” said the crossed-eyed pony.

“Don’t mention it.” I replied.

We were sitting in our seats for a few minutes without speaking to one another and it got to the point where it got really awkward at this point until she spoke up.

“In case you were wondering my names Ditsy, Ditsy Do.”

“Ummm good to know?” Was all I can say. Not much for a conversationalist, just a wise shit talker.

“Well nice to meet ya, Good to Know.” She then extends her right hoof.

“Wait that’s not my real name. It’s David Grant. Sorry I gotten you confused for my sarcasm.”

“I know I just want to see how you’d react.” She then smiles once she finish.

“So what brings you here to this place?” I asked trying to strike up a conversation.

“Isn’t it obvious.” She raises an eye brow. But I can’t take her serious with that eye of her it’s kind of funny but also adorable at the same time.

“Ok but seriously I have a question and I’m not being rude but why are you sitting next to me? Don’t you find me different and at the least, scary.” I asked because most of the ponies I’ve meet just moved away when I was trying to find a place to count my bits.

“Different yes, scary no. Just because you’re bigger than most ponies, doesn’t make you scary.”
Huh. I didn’t expect her to say that. Then again a bunch of colts were thanking me for giving them two free extra tokens at that arcade place without even flinching at me.

“Ok now that I got that out of the way I have one more question. What’s with your right eye by the way? Is it some sort of medical condition or some kind of birth defect? If it’s something you don’t want to talk about, its fine.”

“It’s fine really I gotten those questions a lot whenever somepony is new in ponyville but for you it’s fine. To answer your question yes it’s a… birth defect.” She was beginning to look sad. I guess she must have been picked on when she was little.

“Well if it makes you feel any better…” I showed her my right hand to her, showing her my birth mark. ”I have a Birth defect too.”

“Isn’t that Celestia’s cutie mark in your… umm…”

“Hands.” I answered.

“Yeah. Wait you were born with it?”

“That’s what I said.”

“So you can move the sun too? That’s amazing.” She looked astounded.I told her that where I come from magic doesn’t quite exist in our world and humans aren’t able to do magic.

“Then how are you able to survive harsh weather can’t humans control the weather?”

I also explained that humans can’t control the weather and the only way to live thought the harsh weather is to either build a house or buy one. Not only that but I told her all the necessity’s a home needs food, plumbing, electricity, etc.

“Wow that’s amazing. But what do you eat?”Damn I really didn’t want to tell her the truth. That I eat meat, but I certainly don’t want to cause a scene or her gathering a mob. So I kind of stretched the truth.

“I eat all kinds of fruits and vegetables but I can’t eat like most of you ponies eat.”

“Like what?”

“Hay, flowers and grass that kind of sums it up.”

“Weaw good because I was going to ask you if you want a bite of my daisy sandwich thank goodness you told me beforehoof.” We both sort of laugh a little; well me forcing myself to laugh since it wasn’t funny.

“Ok I answered your questions now it’s time I ask you questions.”

“OK.”

I asked her what sort of questions that have been bugging me since I got here like how the currency works here, what sort of jobs do ponies do, especially what she does for a living. What I didn’t expect was that all Pegasi can control the weather not to mention they can stand on the clouds above.

“Wow I didn’t know Pegasi can do those sorts of things I mean I read about this sort of thing back at home, but I never thought I get to see one in real life.”

“Whys that?” Asked Ditsy.

“Well to be honest, Pegasi and Unicorns don’t exist in my world but these “Earth ponies” do but there not like you per se.”

“Care to explain?” she asked.

I told her what the animals back in my world are, like how we treat them as domesticated animals and or pets for working on farms and all that such.

“That… that sounds horrible. “

“Relax if your thinking I’m one of those people your sorely mistaken. In fact, I never would do that to them I guess most humans have guts to do it but most of us can’t.”

“I knew you were a nice human from the start.”

“Nice? No way I’m more in the line between bad to terrible.”

“Why?”

I told her what happened to me over the past week. I just left out the part about me sort of attacking there princess, me being on Twilight’s bed shirtless, and Applejack crying but me drop kicking her was something I had to retell. Because that shit was hilarious and will never stop being funny.

“So that’s what happened to Applejack.” Ditsy having the reason Applejack got sent to the hospital. However she doesn’t seem fazed by this.

“You’re taking this way too well after what I did to Applejack.” Yeah no one should look this calm.

“I wouldn’t blame you if you stole those items but then again you really shouldn’t have. You could have waited for Twilight to wake up.”

(Trust me if I did, it would have been a weird morning for both of us.)

“Regardless never stealing again. You have my word.”

(That is until no one is looking.)

She then went on about the party Pinkie threw when I came to this world, said that at first I looked weird almost like a hairless/hornless Minotaur.

(So they do exist.)

She then told me about a few minutes in the party I became a completely different person a few minutes later, something I never hear from someone or pony of all things too. She said that I became chatty, played a few party games in which I beat anyone that was against me, and competed in a dance off with Pinkie of all ponies. They all said that it was a close call but Pinkie ultimately won at the end. Then they all made rumors that I was almost the same party animal as Pinkie.

(Dear god that’s a scary thought. Me. Being in the same level as her. I rather kill myself then become anything like her.)

“Well I need to go. I have a few unfinished businesses to take care of.”

“Ok. But do you want to meet up here again?”

I turn around to think about my answer. She is fun to talk to but then again I don’t want to get too attached to her otherwise if I can find a way to leave this place, then it’s going to crush me or her when we say goodbye.

“I’ll think about.” It was my answer considering I never promised I meet her.

“Great. Well see yah later.” I exited the place and walked around the entire town to see if things were getting interesting here. Turns out there’s nothing for me to do so I went to Twilights home to see if I can mess around in her lab.

(Or should we call it our lab now.) Jack began laughing and so did I because that part wasn’t a lie since Twilight and I made a deal.

(Oh no.)

20 minutes later…

As I finally made it to the library, I opened the door only for it to not budge. I could just find a hairpin to open the lock but where can I even find a store that sells it. I could just head to the boutique where Rarity works but I think I’m banned from that store due to me drop-kicking one of her friends or maybe Sweetie Belle might have used one of the words I accidentally let out last week.

(So that’s out of the question) I thought.

(There’s always the old fashion way.) Jack suggested.

“Worth a shot.” I talked to myself.

(What are you two planning?) Axel asked.

I grabbed a random rock and I was ready to throw it. Axel was screaming in my head begging me not to but Jacks chanting me to do it. I know Jacks playing me and that as much as I love causing destruction, I can’t since I don’t want to cause anymore mischief without someone taking the blame. I dropped the rock and knocked to see if
Spike was inside the building.

(Sorry where are our manners? My name, that David gave me, is Axel.)

(Names Jack bitches. Were both his thoughts.)

Yeah theses “guys” have been annoying for the past week with their endless banter. Their harmless; well Axels is cool but Jack however well let’s say he’s unstable.

(Forgot the Dragon lives here too.)

(And thank the heavens he does.) Axel sighed.

(Man both of you are no fun at all.) Jack huffed.

The door opened up and on the other side was Spike.

“Hey what’s up?” I asked him.

He was about to close the door on me but I was quick enough to block it with my foot. I guess he must have heard what happened to Applejack.

“Look I get you angry at me for causing harm to Applejack but if you just listen to what I have to say…”

“Why should I? And why are you here?” He said as he was trying to lock me out but seriously he could have just moved my foot to close the door.

“Look I got hungry so I thought I come here and make myself something to eat plus I can’t steal anything not after what happened last week. I’m trying to be a better person.” I explained.

(Wait couldn’t we just buy ourselves something to eat?) Axel spoke.

(What’s the point of having a roommate if we didn’t mooch off her fridge?) he answered with a chuckle.

(I hate you.)

(Hate you too love.) Jack replied back.

“You promise?” He asked a bit uneasy.

“I swear to God I won’t.” I empty promised.

“Fine I’ll let you in, but I’ll know what items you stole from here.”

“Fair enough.” Beside there’s nothing to steal here since it’s a library. Who’d steal a book anyways?

Spike opened the door and let me in side. This place isn’t half bed but what my main objective was the kitchen.
Once I get there, I opened the pantry to see if there was any bread. After I found the bread, I go to the fridge to get cheese and butter to make myself a grilled cheese.

Spike notice what I was going to make and he asked if I can make one for him. I did and after making both of the sandwiches, I asked what Twilights been up to after the week I was gone.

“It’s been going great however today…” Spike stopped.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Twilight has been worrying about turning in a report for Celestia. It’s the final week she was supposed to report and now she’s getting worked up over it.” he answered.

“I don’t see what the big deal is anyways. I bring in tardy work or finish my homework on the last day and I don’t get worried.”

“Try telling her that.” he snickered.

“I would but I bet her response would be; Beep Boop Boop does not compute.” I did the best impression of a
robot as I can. After I said that we both laughed about the thought of Twilight being a robot or a synth for that matter.

“Your right she acts more robot then most ponies but she tries.” I agreed and both of us finally finished our sandwiches. Once we were done, I head to the basement door but I stopped and wondered a bit.

“Hey Spike, want to come down the basement and play in the lab?” I asked Spike. He was hesitant to come along saying he shouldn’t go down without Twilights permission. I told him he has to because I can’t read their language so if I mixed the chems incorrectly I could end getting hurt or worse die. Still didn’t convince him, but I told him if worse comes to worse I’ll handle the blame.

He finally comes with me and we head in not knowing what sort of wacky science will happen.

Few hours later…

A couple of hours have past but we hear stomping noises on top of us. Spike said that the noise will be resolved later; I listened to him because we were making rock candy and other types of candy and we can’t goof up any of them, after that I got another idea for an experiment.

A few more hours later…

“Ok Spike whatever you do, don’t move.” Ok now we are in big trouble now. I told Spike not to start the experiment without my go and here we are, him holding out a claw full of pure powder potassium hovering over a tank full of water. With that much potassium he could blow us all up to kingdom come.

“Now I want you to move slowly away from the tank Spike. I believe in you.” I comforted him giving him confidences but inside I thought…

(Oh God…)

(We’re going…)

(To die!)

As he was moving I didn’t notice and saw that there was an ink bottle behind him.

“Wait stop” I was too late to warn him and when his foot stood on top he started to lose balance, flaying his arms making him let go of the powder. A few missed its mark but the rest of them hit the tank.

“Oh Fuuuuu…”

During the same time…

“But Princess how did you…” Before Twilight could ask how Celestia knew of her breakdown there was a sudden loud noise coming from the basement door. It was David but what he said was “Wait stop” not too long before the door to the basement erupted out of the now smoky room. Everypony that was inside the library were speechless from the unsuspecting explosion and what came out of the smoke was Spike covered in soot and along came David who is also covered in soot but with goggles on.

David’s point of view…

“HOLY F@^K-BALLS THAT WAS AWESOME!” I yelled. I think. I lost my hearing when the explosion happened but I don’t care that was awesome.

“WHAT!” Spike mouthed. Damn I really did bust an ear drum or two. I looked at the mane six and Princess Celestia all with wide gapping mouths. Guess they must have heard of the explosion I mean who wouldn’t.

“LOOK I KNOW THIS LOOKS BAD BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU, NOTHING HAPPENED.” I think I said those words. Seriously can’t tell what I said.

What I do know was that Twilight was looking super pissed by mouthing something I couldn't understand at the moment. During the lecture, Twilight seemed to understand that talking to me was pointless, she then turned to Spike and brought an ink bottle, paper, and feather.

When she was done she was writing something on the paper and showed it to me.

|You’re staying with me once you get you hearing back. Applejack told me you can’t work not until you can hear again.|

(Yes! Now I can kick back and relax.) Twilight also wrote another message.

|But by tomorrow you and Spike are going to clean up the lab.|

(Damn it.)

After the whole incident was resolved, the girls and Celestia all went their separate ways. Spike, Twilight, and me all went to our beds only for one slight problem. There was only one bed and since the lab was my room to begin with it, it was destroyed. So Twilight and I had to make due by sharing a single, again.

I grabbed a feather, ink and paper and wrote what I had to say. I showed her what I wrote only for her to get a confused look.

(You got to be kidding me.) I complained.

I threw my hand up in frustration and just to decide I didn’t care what I was going to do next. I lifted my shirt and took off my pants. Once I was in my boxer's, I just sat on the bed then covered myself in sheets. I didn’t know what her reaction was I just didn’t care. Eventually I felt someone else enter the bed. Guess Twilight didn’t mind.

(Sigh today really isn’t my day is it?) I complained.

(Well I’m still getting payed by tomorrow anyways so after I’m finish cleaning up my mess, I’ll head back to the farm to collect my payment.)

And thus ends my first week here I wonder what sort of hell I’ll be getting into the next day.

End of chapter 9

Author's Note

Holy Crap this is the longest chapter I've ever made. I try to keep this under 3,500 or less but its been hard not to go overboard. thanks to all those who read this story so far and thanks to theanonymousbrony for clearing an error and for also helping me reassess with my writing a bit (I'll make sure to fix that.). And to those that have been reading this story so far, thanks a bunch. Ghost, out.

Chapter 11 – The First Day

“Sigh I don’t know what to do Ditzy, but somehow no matter what I do. I just find a way to just piss people off.” I talked with Ditzy about what I got myself into. Reason why is that well it was sort of unavoidable considering the last time we talked, I ‘promised’ we meet up soon. She was worried about me for the past three days but she was also worried about Dash too once I told her the events that happened to us.

“Wow so that’s why she never came to work.”

“So you’re going to complain that I started fighting again right?” I said to her waiting for a lecture.

"Sigh I’m getting way too used to this shtick." I thought to myself. I was still waiting for any response or comment from Jack or Axel but nothing came in my mind.

“I should but I’m more worried about you.” she answered. This really confused me when she said that.

“You’re not the least bit mad I fought one of your best flyers?” I asked her.

“No just a bit disappointed that you not only hurt Dash but also yourself. Not to mention you broke your promise about fighting other ponies.” She answered. How can she say that to the guy that nearly beat up one of her friends? I learned a lot from her that since this place is a small town, everyone knows each other and are good friends to each other.

She also told me some of the heroic deeds that Twilight and the other five ponies saved Equestria not once but twice; one being Celestia’s sister who wanted to put the planet in eternal darkness and one that wanted to cause chaos to this planet. Needless to say I’m impress by their actions and also afraid. If they can take on a being that was the embodiment of chaos, then what would happen to me if I go too far?

“Fine you got a point. But seriously if I hadn’t fought back, I could have been in worse shape if I let Dash beat me up.” Ditzy looked as if she wanted to say more but then couldn’t find the right thing to say.

“Fine you might be right about that.” She said. I was about to leave the place because it was sort of getting dark out and I wanted to sleep.

“But before you go can you promise me something?” She finished her sentence.

“Umm sure what is it?” I asked her.

“Can you please stop fighting? I know it might be hard for you to control your temper, but not every situation can resolve with fighting.”

“Not this again.” When will she get that I’m a lost cause. She expects me to stop after getting in a fight twice in one month. That’s less then what I get back on Earth. But when is she ever going to know.

“Fine I’ll stop fighting but only for a good reason.” I told her. Not like it wasn’t going to matter anyways.

“Pinkie promise?”

“Kind of hard to make one since you have no fingers.” She laughed about what I said and told me how a Pinkie promise works. Needless to say I didn’t want to do the whole process but if it can make her happy I guess its fine by me.

“There can I go now? I really don’t want to catch a cold.” I lifted the groceries that Twilight wanted me to get. Ditzy and I both leave the coffee shop and go our separate ways. On the way back I heard a voice.

"Well done buttercup. I didn’t expect us to walk out of that fight alive."

“Jack.” I said coldly to the disembody voice.

"So how’s it been after the whole coma thing am I right?" Jack questioned without a care in the world.

“Go to hell.”

"Jeez what I do to make you so piss…"

“You’re my problem. If you hadn’t been a complete asshole, none of this would have happened.” I pointed to the sky.

"Whoa don’t blame me you’re the one that makes the shots. And haven’t I been a good voice of reason? I mean if I didn’t tell you about the attacks, then you would have ended up as a vegetable." He was right if I didn’t listen to the warnings, I could’ve been in a more painful situation.

"So listen up because this is going to be important ok? Ok."

“I don’t know how long, but Axel wants us to lay low for a while so he and I can fix your body.”

“What?” I was confused as to how this was going after all the crap I went through.

"Apparently after the fight, Axel and I had our work cut out trying to keep this body working. Seriously that bitch can really rip the insides."

Jack kept going on about how during my coma, they both have been the ones responsible for having to replace my ribs and tooth. Once they were done with the missing bones, they went on fixing the insides of my body. They said if it weren’t for the doctors, they would’ve had a much harder time fixing me up if the doctors hadn’t overdose on the meds. That’s why my body had bruises, because those parts were sort of dead skin and veins not from the fight.

“So yeah you won’t be hearing from us later so do us a favor and don’t get into fights ok? Ok bye.” Before I can reply, I was already in front of Twilights door. I can’t exactly explain to Twilight why I was talking to myself without sounding like a crazy person. So I just decide to keep this a secret and went inside.

“I’m back!” I yelled to no one in the room. I heard hootsteps coming from the door to the basement. The door was opened and on the other side was Twilight.

“Hey welcome back.”

“So I’m just going to come out and say it; what’d you want to know the reason why Dash and I were fighting?” I really don’t want to wait this any longer considering she’s going to want an explanation.

“Yes. Why were you two fighting?” Twilight was lecturing me on how my behavior has been a problem. First it was Applejack then it was Rainbow Dash.

“I’m really worried that you might have an anger problem.”

“You wouldn’t be the first.” I commented. It was a about time I told her what I was back on Earth.

“Back where I’m from, I’m just a low life who just so happens to attract trouble without blinking an eye. I’ve been arrested more times I can count, got into fights with so many to choose from my childhood to teen years, and lastly I have been in therapy with no progress changing.” I told her.

Twilight was speechless after what I said. I’m guessing she didn’t know that she was housing a repeat offender or the fact she thinks I’m crazy because I mention the word therapy. Not all people are crazy just because they need therapist.

“I…I…I didn’t know all that happened to you.” Twilight hung her head low thinking that sympathy was going to make me change.

“Look the times I’ve been arrested weren’t serious just a few pickpocketing, trespassing and lastly a few times for disorderly conduct.” I say without feeling any remorse or care about them.

“Not my fault that cop was harassing me."

“But David if that were true wouldn’t that mean the time you came here wouldn’t you have been incarcerated?”

“That’s where my family comes to help. My uncle is the chief of police so basically he can wipe away all the crimes I’ve committed without a second thought.” I told her.

“I’m betting he didn’t want to see his sister to see her own son get arrested.” I thought to myself. For a few seconds Twilight didn’t respond back so I told her why I act like this way.

“My family maybe high class but me I’m a different story.” I benignly say. I mean that’s sort of the reason why I became like this, I was so god damn spoiled I had enough of the cushy life style and wanted to just feel alive. And that’s exactly what I told Twilight. And she really didn’t like my answer but later though it was better to move on with the million-dollar question.

“That would sort of explain the therapy you told me about. It wasn’t too serious was it?” she asked.

“No it wasn’t that bad. It was for a different reason.” I vaguely tell her. Before Twilight can ask another, I stopped her.

“Before you ask I really don’t want to discuss about it. Not because it has no effect on me anymore it’s just I don’t want to discuss it that’s all. What’s in the past is gone and there’s nothing to change it.” There’s only one way she can find that out and there’s no way she’ll ever know even if I die.

“(Sigh) I guess that’s all I’m ever going to get from you?”

“Yep.”

“Fine.” Twilight said with disappointment in her tone.

I go downstairs and find that the lab looks like it was before the explosion. Papers finely neat , boxes with vials and bottles to replace the ones that were destroyed and lastly a bed that was at the far end of the wall away from this super computer in the middle of the room.

“Damn this bitch is still intact. I think Twilight knew something like this might happen. Might have used a protection spell?” Regardless this might come useful. I take off all my clothes except my boxers and finally sleep.

The next day…

“Rise and shine!”

“Ahhhhhhhh!” I shoot up and fell down on the other side of the bed started by whatever woke me up. When I got up with wide eyes wanting to know who woke me up. It was Twilight that I was in the lab/room.

“Twilight what the actual hell was that for and what time is it?” I questioned her.

“David you already forget that today is the day you attend school.” Twilight said.

“……Wat?” I asked. Oh God no.

“No. No that can’t be right. I don’t have school.”

“Actually you do. Remember Pinkies party?”

“…F@$k.” Was all I can say knowing damn well that Celestia told me about it. Whelp it couldn’t be helped every time I want to have a good time, God like’s to have a laugh.

“Fine but give me time to bathe. I smell like crap.” I get off from bed grab my clothes and walked to the bathroom to shower. Luckily when I went up, I found out the bath works as a shower too so that’s a bonus. When I was done, I go down and make myself some breakfast.

“What are you doing? You’re going to be late.” Twilight worried.

“Hasn’t been the first time I was late for anything.” I told her. I waited for the toast to be golden brown. When the toast was done, it and along with me were floating in purple aura. I look behind me and see that Twilight was looking like the world was about to end. Twilight then sprinted to the door along with me and the toast to the outside world.

“Where’s the rush Twilight I’ll just make up an excuse on why I’m late.” Twilight had no response to my comment. All she wanted was for me to make it to whatever she was taking me. Eventually we made it to the school that I was going to attend to and it reminded me of one of those old Sunday school houses. When Twilight finally put me down, I finish the last bite of my toast before she gave me a lecture about first impression.

“Jesus she sounds just like my mom when I headed off to school.” I thought.

“And more importantly, try to study about us. The more you know about Equestria the better.” I nodded my head so that she knows I heard her loud and clear even thought I wasn’t even paying attention. I went inside and was a bit annoyed that I just found out that this place reminded of elementary school. Everywhere I see there were these little ponies of different shape, color and sizes. Needless to say it would have been a terrible morning if it weren’t for the fact these kids weren’t straight up adorable.

“Oh you made it.” I look to my right and saw this dark magenta colored pony.

“Umm hi?” I awkwardly said not knowing how to responded to what I assume is going to be my teacher.

“Go ahead. Have a seat class and class will be starting shortly.” I look around the place and I sort of hit a problem; the desks were way too tiny for my body to handle. Most of the seats were taken but even still they would collapse because of my weight and height. I just simply went all the way to the back, lean against the wall and wait for her to figure it out herself.

When the whole class finally settled and were seated, she then began to notice that I have not been seated now realizing the problem. She then prepares for my introduction something I should have discuss with her but was too lazy.

“Alright class we have a new student in class today please welcome David Grant.” I walk up to the front really not caring whether or not this was embarrassing. I took in a deep breath and said whatever’s on my mind.

“I’m David and I’m human. That’s all you need to know.” I was about to walk back but somepony with glasses asked me a question.

“So are you an alien?” said the filly with a noticeable lisp.

“Yeh.” I answered.

“That’s so cool.” The entire class was asking question from left to right and front and back of the class. I couldn’t answer all of them because they were wondering what sort of alien tech I brought with me.

“Alright class we can discuss about David later. As of now we need to focus on the subject that matters.” She then moves the chalkboard wall to the side and we see there was a mathematical problem. What was so interesting was the fact that most of the equations were advance far from elementary some of them were even close to trigonometry.

I was about to complain to the teacher about the whole idea of teaching these kids about this stuff but I stopped myself on doing so. I thought that this might be an opportunity to observe how intelligent they are.

“Ok class would anypony like to answer the equation that’s displayed on the board?” Cheerlie asked. I look around the class and it turns out no one wanted to go up front. I thought I might go up and answer but I’m too lazy and unmotivated to do anything.

“Would you like to answer Grant?” Ms. Cheerlie called me.

“Damn it.”

“No thanks. I already know the answer.”

“Then why not come up?”

“Math can solve its own problems.” I answered nonchalantly. It got most of the kids laughing but Cheerlie was not amused by my snide remark.

“He’s lying. He doesn’t know the answer.” Said a filly with a tiara.

“Oh and what makes you think I’m lying?” I asked her.

“Because you’re afraid that you’ll get it wrong and that you can’t answer a simple question.” She replied back.
I sigh knowing that if I let her think I’m stupid, then this will suck for me but if I answer it right now, then it’s back to being an outcast.

“Meh don’t care plus I really want her to feel stupid.” I walk to the front of the class, grab a piece of chalk and gotten started on writing the answer. Needless to say when I gave Ms. Cheerlie the chalk, she looks at me in bewilderment not to mention to all the other kids. I walk back to my wall and stand back.

“What I did those kids a favor for answering the entire board.” I look at the board once more thinking what I did wrong.

“Maybe I should have written on how I answered it. Man I hate teachers that want me to explain the entirety of my answers." And that’s exactly what I did.

Few hours later…

“Ok class time for a recess.” Cheerlie announced.

Everyone goes outside while I walk behind the crowd. Once I was outside I go find a place where no one can find me. I found a tree that was perfect for me to sleep on so I climb it. It was short lived by someone talking to me.

“Hey David we want to talk to you.” said raspy voice.

“Yeah come down.” With a southern accent.

“Please.” Said a girl’s voice.

I look down and notice the three ponies I met when I was held… I mean was working in Applejack’s farm.

“Hey it’s been a while.” I shook all three of their hoofs.

“So why are you here David? Aren’t you a bit old to attend here?” Asked Sweetie belle.

“To be completely honest, I'm tempted to ditch this place and go back to sleeping in Twilights place.” I answered.

“However Twilight, her being a Spazatoid; she won't have none of that.”

“Well I hope you enjoy this place David. I think you’ll like it here in Equestra.” Said Applebloom.

“Well la de freaken da.” I was about to sleep when I saw the pony with the tiara coming to my direction along with a pony with a white mane and silver coat.

“(Sigh) I saw this coming a mile away."

“Well well well if it isn’t the talking chimp.” Said the tiara pony.

All three of the ponies groaned. I know those types of groans; it’s the groans of someone who’s had it up to here with her. Whelp, can’t let this sit by. Might as well ask who she is.

“And who do I owe the pleasure of meeting?” I asked. Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo told me her name was Diamond Tiara and that silver pony’s name is Silver Spoon. Both come from a rich family which I already started to hate them already. Knowing rich kids, they’re the school bullies and spoiled brats.

“Look I really don’t want any trouble so if you want, I can just leave because right now I can’t deal with this.” I get up then decided to walk past them.

While I was walking away I heard some insults from her that didn’t even faze me. That is until I heard Applebloom telling her to leave me alone.

“And why shouldn’t? He’s not even talking back so why stop.”

“Because I don’t give a damn about you. I don’t like you, nobody here likes you and these three don’t like you.” I told Diamond. I turn around to face the three ponies.

“Because whatever you call me I’ve been called worse.” I then look at Scootaloo.

“Hey Scootaloo.” She looks at me.

“Give Diamond a taste of what I thought you.” I then walk away waiting for the shit storm that was about to commence.

“Hey diamond your…” before I can hear Scootaloo say anything, the recess bell rang and I couldn’t hear what she said but I got a few good ideas on what she was calling Diamond. While I was walking, I see Diamond running to the school house at full sprint for a few short seconds I saw a bit of tear in her face.

“Yep I’m going to enjoy this place.”

Few hours later…

I then go back to Twilights house after a brief trip from the coffee shop once school was over. I think I was lucky to get out of that place fast because I think Cheerlie was calling Scootaloo and Diamond to talk.

“Oh man if Twilight found out…" I lost my concentration when Twilight came out of nowhere.

“So how was your first day of school here in Equestria?” I flinched for a second but recovered later.

“Oh um… it was…interesting.” I really couldn’t find the right words due to how this is by far; the weirdest scenario I’ve been in and I had weirder things happened back home.

“Other than the fact I went to school shirtless, I think I can safely say that today wasn’t a bad day.” The look on Twilight showed that she was curious so I opened my hoodie to show her. I think she got the message.

“Oh I should ask Rarity if she can help make more clothes for you in the near future.” Twilight said. I told Twilight what my measurement was and by tomorrow we’ll head over to the boutique because right now I was tired.

“Wait shouldn’t you…” Before she could say anything I answered what I assumed was her question.

“I already did my homework before I came here.” I then reach for my back pockets and unfolded the four pieces of paper. I then waved the pieces for her to grab and she levitated them to her so she can see.

Needless to say she was impressed on how I was able to answer the mathematical equations but was concerned on my Equestrian language considering I drew nothing.

“You know, you can always ask me to help you with these sorts of questions.”

“Hmmm naaw. I rather fail the old fashion way until I get it right.” Besides its sort of late because I was killing time on purpose so I don’t have to do it and that I have a good excuse. No sooner did I felt lighter then usual that I realized that Twilight lifted me up and set me down a table with books already on the table.

“I don’t care how long this’ll take, I’ll help you understand how we write and read.” Twilight said with a look of both determination and slight anger.

“Please God can you hear me? It’s me David, end me now.” Well I guess this won’t be so bad I mean by the long run, I won’t have to ask ponies what the hell the street sign says.

“Fine let’s just get this over with.” I said a bit annoyed that my plan backfired. But then I thought of the one thing that made me slightly feel better.

“Just one more week till my birthday comes and…” Before I can finish the thought, I felt a chill run down my back. Twilight notice me flinched for just a second.

“Hey David are you ok?” she asked concernedly.

“Oh it’s nothing. Just a bit cold that’s all.” I lied. Usually when I feel a chill, it means that something bad is going to happen within a week or less.

“I don’t get it. My parents aren’t here to embarrass me, the people I hate aren’t here, and lastly I’m finally on my own. What’s causing me to be afraid?” I then remember the only remaining factor; the only one that can both instigate both anger and fear.

“Pinkie.”

Meanwhile in Sugercube corner…

Pinkie Pie is in her bed sleeping next to her pet gator, Gummy. Both were dreaming about what the next day will bring to them unaware that Pinkies mane was being eaten or was tried to be eaten by the toothless gator.

That is until Pinkie suddenly awoke from her sleep wide awake with a smile on her face. She never realized that the toothless gator was flanged to its own small bed safe but was awake from the sudden awake up.

“It’s someponies birthday this weeeeek.” She said in a singsong tone. Then fell back asleep dreaming about whose birthday was coming the following week.

End of Chapter 11

Author's Note

Hello everybody that continued to read this story so far. For a while, now I haven't updated for a like two months I think. To be honest, I had college finals from those two month and was swamped with work until finally surviving a yeah of college. Whoop Whoop! \ ^O^ /

So maybe this summer I might pop out a few chapters. Who knows. Until next time; Ghost, Out.

Chapter 12 – The Big Night

“It’s finally here.” I thought to myself. Today is my birthday and the best part about it; Pinkie still thinks that someone is going to visit ponyville on their birthday. Three days ago Pinkie came to visit Twilight one day out of the blue and kept saying that, get this, “Pinkie Sense” was telling her that someponies birthday was coming and the problem was that even though she already said happy birthday to the ponies days before their actually birthday.

Then she came to me and asked me a question.

“Hey Davie.”

“Ugh why me?”

“Yeah what is it.” I replied.

“Do humans celebrate birthdays?” I was about to say no, however I remember the cold feeling I had two days ago so maybe this was the warning.

“Actually we do.” Pinkie was bouncing almost as if she won the lottery. Oh crap.

“Before you think it’s my birthday your wrong.”

“Then when is it?”

“Shit.” I thought

“It’s in December.”

“What day.”

“The 31st.” I answered back quickly. Pinkie looked at me almost as if I was lying even though I was bullshitting. After intensive staring from Pinkie she looked pouted.

“Aww I was sure it was your birthday this week.”

“Hey who knows? Maybe it might be somepony that’s visiting here. Maybe it might be their birthday.” I told her. As soon as I said that, Pinkie gasped from three seconds while she jumped in the air for more than she should have then left the library with lighting speed.

Present day…

“Heh what a dumbass.” Once class ended I was finally able to do as I please. Twilight thinks I’m staying at Applejacks for earning more bits but for the entire day it’s all going to be about me. While I was walking, Scootaloo, Applebloom, and Sweetie Belle were catching up on me. Ever since I attended the school, they’ve been following me to the places I’ve been chilling out.

It’s not so bad considering they’ve been good company to me. But today is not the best of time since I really am on a time limit.

“Hey girls want to make a bet? Last to Sugercube corner buys the winners ice cream.” I said with a cocky grin.

“But that’s not fair.” Applebloom complained.

“Yeah you’ll just zip past us.” Scootaloo also complained.

“Don’t worry I’ll give you three a 15 second head start.”

“That’s fair I guess.” Sweetie Belle said a bit unsure if the head start was going to help. Regardless, I made the line that represented the starting line. Then I was beginning my starting position.

“On your marks…get set…GO!” All three of them ran almost like their lives depended on it. I guess those three really didn’t want to pay for the ice cream. Regardless those three are out of my hair and it’s high time I get ready before anyone here gets any wiser. I ran to the opposite side of this town to get to this one shop that sells booze here.

I go inside and I find the only pony that that was both the manager and employee of this place. The best part about this place is that this pony gets drunk at one point in time and I was lucky that I was able to get here because there’s no one here around here too so it was the perfect time for me to steal at least one bottle. I go around the place to make sure there was no one around here. While I was searching, I came across a bottle that seemed ok for me to sneak in my pocket, so I took it with me and I snuck out of the place as fast as I could.

“Ok phase 1: steal a bottle of alcohol for myself. Check. On to phase 2.”

I then ran to Sugercube Corner to catch up to the girls so that I can grab the cake for my other plan. About a few minutes later I make it place and the girls are still inside waiting for me.

“Wow for somepony tall as yourself, your slow as a turtle.” Scootaloo commented.

“Yeah I got distracted and cocky, thought I would out run you three but I guess luck isn’t on my side this time.”

Well I did say loser had to pay for ice cream so I go to the counter and asked Mrs. Cake if she could bring out three cones of ice cream. I also told her to give me my cake when I requested it yesterday. Once I gave the three ice cream, I told them I had other plans and I had to leave. Once Mrs. Cake gotten the cake, I paid her and was about to leave.

“Oh and David I almost forgot.” I turn around and was about to tell her to stop but it was already too late.

“Happy Birthday.” I didn’t know how, I didn’t know why, but somewhere on the other side of the town I heard Pinkie screamed out the top of her lung.

“What!”

As soon as I heard that, it was now or never, Do or die, so I ran to the counter, leaped over it and bull rush the door while protecting the cake in my left hand side. I broke the door but it was worth not getting killed or whatever Pinkie was planning to do to me later if she catches up with me.

“Ok phase 2: check. Phase 3? GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!” So I ran to the only place that was a sure fire way she wouldn’t find me. I ran for God knows how long but I was able to make it to the other side of the town and saw Fluttershy's cottage.

“Yes that just means if I can make it past the house I can get in the Everfree Forest and follow the path to this ”Castle of the two sisters”."

Freedom almost at my grasp, I ran for it with all the strength I can muster. I didn’t want to look back but I needed to be sure that she was far away, so I look back.

“David! You lied to me!” I saw Pinkie running towards and nearly catching up to me. I knew that I had to kick it up a few notches so I ran as though my life depended on it. Fluttershy came out of the cottage and when she saw me, she was almost about to walk between the path way.

“Oh David hows…”

“MOVE OUT THE WAY!” She listened and I ran past her. With that, I was able to go in the forest while still running.

“Heheheh. Sucker!” I said almost running out of breath. I looked in front of me and there was a fork in the path way. I completely forgotten which way was the path to the castle so I chose the one on the left side. After about a few minutes of running, I decided that I think I lost those two and decided to check my surroundings.

All around me were just trees that shaded the sun so that means Fluttershy couldn’t fly overhead of this place and find me so that’s a bonus. I then began to walk on the dirt road to lead me to the castle. I hoped.

25 minutes later…

“God damn it I’m lost!” I have no idea where I am, all the trees look the same, and finally I think I passed the same tree I carved my name in to make sure if it was. I look at the rough bark and it was. I then inhaled deeply and expelled the air.

“Well shit.” I complained. I kept thinking on how the hell to get out of this since I have no clue on how to leave this place and I kept walking around the forest until I heard a noise coming from one of the bushes. I turn and check around me to find out who was with me in this place. I mean I heard from other ponies that strange things happen around this place, but most were just something that was just normal from Earth like clouds moving on their own and wild animals not being tamed. Ok that last part was not a smart move on my part but anywhere was better than the village with her.

I stood still waiting for something to make a move; the air around me began to feel cold, it almost felt as if time moved a slower for a second then something made a noise on my left side. For a split second, I saw something retracted in the bushes but I definitely saw a piece of wood go back inside. I then move back slowly to and looked at the bush to make sure my eyes weren't playing me. That is until I heard another noise coming from the other side. The bush moved only for an inch then I heard more rustling from far away.

“Forget this I’m getting out of this place!” I turn around and made a run for it. When I ran, I heard more noises coming from behind me. I didn’t want to know who or what was chasing me but I didn’t care so long as I was sure I was at a faraway distance from whatever it was. I ran and ran until I stumbled onto a flower bed of blue flowers but as I was running, I fell on something that tripped me.

I slid on the flowers and might have scripted my face a bit. When I got up, I was searching for the cake and bottle but what could be useful right now was a rock preferably a big one. I then heard growing from behind me and saw what might have been the second scariest thing in my life.

Wolves and more importantly, what their made of, to be exact. I saw their bodies made out of the same bark as any of the trees around me. But what really made me scared of them were their eyes; their eyes glowed eerily out of the darkness this place was carrying and more was that they were prepared to pounce, ready to kill me. I thought this was the end but I wasn’t ready to die, not in this place. I finally found a rock that was perfect to bludgeon these ‘timber-wolves’.

“Bring it on i ain't afraid of you freaks!” I yelled at them, readying my right hand carrying the rock. But what was strange was that none of them wanted to come near me; in fact they were looking at the bed of blue flowers rather than me. I look down and figure they can’t come near me. This gave me an idea.

“Yeah you can't reach mr now can you, you piece of shits.” I then sat on the bed of flowers and waited to see if they made a move and after about an hour of listening and watching they gave up then they all left .

“Heh those wolves are gone. But to make sure they don’t come back for me…” I pulled a few flowers and put some in my pocket to make sure when they come back, I’ll be ready. I then pulled a few more and began rubbing those flowers on me so that the scent would be strong for them to know I was a hazard to their way .

After that, I began walking around the forest more to find the castle after what seemed like an hour of walking. The sky looked more reddish then so that must mean it’s almost sunset, which means I’ll be lost in this place with the animals when this place hits night. I ran straight through the forest as fast as I can until I found a light at the end of the forest.

I ran to the light and found myself on what looks like a lake. The water was calm and that there wasn't anything that could ruin the smooth surface of the water, reflecting from the suns light and soon to be covered with the dark blue night sky.

“You know this might be a relaxing place to eat and drink here.” I thought to myself. So I sat on the sand pulled out the bottle and was about to open it until something in the lake came out of nowhere. Out came a giant freaking lizard monster with an actually well groom mustache and hair. Regardless when I first saw this thing, I was about to piss myself because of the shit luck that I was given but what really was on my mind was I should have ran but I felt like my feet were planted in the sand for the first time I felt actual fear.

“Oh my? You’re a strange fellow. Might I ask who you are?” The monster asked. I wanted to run but like an obedient dog I replied.

“M…m…my name is d…d…David Grant.” I looked at the monster waiting for its next move.

“Well it’s nice to meet you Mr. Grant.” The thing said then put out his right arm out. I flinched and closed my eyes thinking he was going to kill me. After seconds of waiting, nothing happened and when I opened my eyes, his hand is still out. I looked up to him and he had this questioned look on his face.

When I saw his hand again I realized that this wasn’t a way of killing me but an actual introduction. So I reached into his hand to shake it but realized he was twice my size. I think he realized it too when he saw how I was too small.

“Oh my apologies I didn’t realize that you were…” before he could say anything I then began to laugh. In fact, this was an actual laugh, a real one where it didn’t fall back on the satisfaction of revenge or hatred towards another living being. For once, I found something like a misunderstanding like this hilarious.

“No no no I should apologize for not realizing sooner. Ha ha ha.” I said though fits of laughter. Like a domino effect he began to laugh too. After what seemed like forever we finally calmed down a bit. Once we have our breaths back we gotten to talk. Apparently what he meant was who I was like species wise, so I told him I was human.

“Human aye? Well it’s nice to meet new species around this place. It gets lonely here on this lake.” Magnum said. I kind of felt sorry for him considering that this place might not have people he could talk to but I have a plan to do and I’m running out of time.

“I don’t mean to be rude or anything, but can you tell me where the castle is?” I asked him. Apparently I went the wrong way however, he said that crossing the lake was a shortcut to the castle so long as I followed the path. I looked across from him then looked at the lake a little worried.

“Thanks I’ll just go around this lake until I can find the path.”

“Or I have a better idea.” Magnum then reach out to me then grabbed me softly so that he doesn’t squeeze the life out of me. It felt weird that I’m being taken by a sea serpent who I thought was going to kill me but he seemed like a nice guy. After a few seconds, we made it to the other side of the lake and when he let go of me, he then explained where the path was. I didn’t know how to thank the guy so I looked at my box and asked him.

“Hey wait Magnum. I want to give you something for helping me get across.” I then opened the box and saw the cake. Mrs. Cake really knows how to make a cake because the pastry in tow was amazing. White frosting that covered it all with blue frosting coming from the rim plus a red cursive of my name wishing me happy birthday. I grab my knife then cut the cake in half and asked for him to take it.

At first he didn’t want it because it was too much of me to give him the cake. However he agreed to take it once I told him that it was red velvet. No one ever says no to red velvet.

“Thank you. “ He said as he ate the whole thing in one bite. No surprise since he’s so big. I then head towards the path and before long I find myself looking up to find that the castle is only a few steps away however I need to cross a bridge that looked like it was about to collapse itself if I ever made a single step.

After swallowing up what’s left of my courage, I decided I should take it nice and easy when crossing the bridge. I was only half way across the bridge and I was losing every inch of my cool because I was afraid this thing might collapse and I could fall to my death. When I finally crossed over, I felt relieved that my luck was finally coming around. I then began to run to the castle so that I can finally have some real fun.

Once I opened the door I looked around the place to see if there were any animals that were in this place. All I can hear was nothing but the howling winds and nothing which only meant that this place wasn’t occupied by anybody. So I closed the door, and then began walking around the place to find the dining room.

After some much more exploration, I found the dining room and sat on a chair with the sun emblem etched to the seat.

“Finally I made it and now for the moment I’ve been waiting for…” I then opened the bottle.

“LETS GET WASTED!” I yelled for the gods to hear me out loud knowing I can go wild without any judgment.

30 minutes later…

“I can’t believe David lied to me. I thought we were besties.” Pinkie complained. After David went inside the forest, Pinkie along with Fluttershy went to go find their friends so that they can search for David.

“I don’t know what David was thinking coming to this here place.” Applejack said. She may not like the Everfree but it brought nostalgia because this place was where their friendship blossomed.

“Well it wouldn’t surprise me. For the past few weeks, he’s been rather unpleasant and quite frankly, dangerous.” Rarity said. At first she thought that David was misunderstood after their second meeting but after witnessing what David did to Dash, she was having doubts on whether he was civilize or just plain savage.

“I know but he can’t be in the Everfree especially at night.” Fluttershy said. She was worried about David's safety because he’s, by default, the only being in Equestria and that the Everfree was dangerous.

“Fluttershy's right we need to find him quickly.” Twilight said. She was also worried too for David's safety. The five of them stumbled onto the same river that they met Magnum from their last visit to the forest. The calm water then began to ripple as Magnum immerged from the depths of the lake and he was thrilled to see the five ponies again.

“Oh it’s been a while since the last time we met.” Magnum said happily.

“Excuse me but you wouldn’t happen to have seen a bipedal creature come through have you?” Twilight asked.

“Hmm depends on what it looks like.” Magnum said. The girls began to describe what David is and Magnum realizes who it was immediately.

“Oh I know who you’re referring to. Not too long ago he needed to cross over to go to the castle.” He said with a smile remembering the reward he received.

“Um would you mind if we cross over to find him.” Fluttershy asked politely. Without hesitation, Magnum created a bridge with his back so the five can make it across. After more walking around, they make it to the bridge. As they crossed the bridge, Fluttershy stopped for a moment and looked back reminiscing about their first adventure.

“Hey Fluttershy what’s the matter? Are you still worried about Rainbow Dash?” Rarity asked.

“Don’t worry about it. Doctor says she’ll be out by tomorrow.” Applejack comforted Fluttershy. Fluttershy smiled at the support of her two friends.

Once the five reach the castle, they decided that they should spread out in order to find him but that was tossed out when they heard a loud crash coming from the end of the hall that lead them the door to the dining hall.

Twilight put her head to the door to hear what was on the other side.

“Well what is it? Is it David?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yeah its sounds like him.” Twilight answered and opened the door.

On the other side, David stood on top of the dining table; dancing and singing without even noticing the five of them entering. Needless to say that when he finally finished, he heard a few extra voices then he should hear. He turned around and saw five ponies trying not to laugh.

David made in effort to try and leave the place as fast as possible to salvage what little dignity he had but tripped over the bottle he previously drank.

“Shit.” He fell backwards and banged his head on the marble floor. The girls ran towards the now passed out human. Fluttershy checked the back of his head to make sure that there wasn’t any serious damages to his head.

“It doesn’t seem like he’s too badly injured but he does need some bandages to help stop the bleeding.” Fluttershy said.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy, I’ll take him back to the library to treat his wounds.” Twilight sighed knowing that this is starting to become a habit David is now making.

1 hour later…

Twilight and David; who was being carried by Twilights levitation finally made it to the library. However there was also another problem that arises when they found him. Apparently David’s phone was blasting random songs which made the trip back difficult since it made any predator that was close to the proximity hear them.

Lucky for them it didn’t happen because Twilight trapped it in a bubble so it was muted however it would have been better if she knew how to turn it off. Twilight then unbubbled the phone and the music was still blasting.

“Uugh how in Equestria am I supposed to turn this off?” Even if she wanted to turn it off, she couldn’t help but follow the beat. But her wishes came true when the song finally ended and so did the phone too.

“(Sigh) Finally.” Twilight then put the item back in David’s possession however she couldn’t. Twilight then used her magic to see if there was anything that David took from the castle. When she was emptying David’s pockets, she nearly jumped back when she saw the blue petals that fell from her magic. She realized what those petals mean.

“Oh no don’t worry David I’ll…” Before she could panic she looked at David then the petals. She was contemplating rather to remedy this or see how this turned out. She was reminded of all the things David did over the pass few weeks and realized David deserved more then he should. Twilight levitated David down to the lab and laid him in bed.

“Sweet dreams David.” Twilight said when she climbed up the stairs with a smile on her face.

End of Chapter 12

Author's Note

Hello readers its me. :D But still more on to the matter, I was planning to publish two chapters but I lost me USB Drive that contained future chapters. I was like " :| Well shit." but luckly I got this one on my account just not the other one which is a bummer. I'm sorry i'm so damn stupid :( . But I got a new Drive and also I can still remember how this will play out so don't worry about it. I hope all of you have a wonderful and bright day. This is ghost, out.

Chapter 13 – Back to square ten

“Ugh.” Was all I can say after a night of hard drinking and making a complete ass of myself. I try to remember the things I did last night but for whatever reason I couldn’t. I then scratch my head only to realize that my head was wrapped around in bandages and that it was loose. I grabbed it and looked at the bandages to see that it was covered in blood.

“Guess I partied too hard.” I thought. I then looked around and noticed I was back in Twilight’s lab.

“Well that’s great. All I want this morning is more lectures on how to behave.” I sarcastically thought. Then there was a sharp pain in my forehead that only lasted a few seconds. I rub my head to ease the pain from last night.

“Welp couldn’t be help. Seriously I’m starting to lose my edge.” I’m usually the master of bullshit and lies; I always find a way to get out of these types of situations but right now, I keep getting caught at the wrong place at the wrong time. Regardless I have to get up and I get out of here before Twilight wakes up but I realize that there was a cold draft in the room. I look down and realize that I was naked.

“Oh man that would have been a disaster.” I thought to myself. I then grab my pants and try to put it on but somehow it felt more loose then it should be. I check them to see what was the problem but nothing was wrong with them. Well except I still had the bottle from last night.

“Ahhh shoot.” When I finally talk something was not right. When I heard my voice it sounded more childlike then how I usually sound.

“What’s wrong with… MY VOICE.” I tried sounding more deep but it cracked at the last two words. I then grab my shirt and put it on but it was also loose and too big for my size like my pants.

“Oh Glob what’s wrong with…”

“Wait. WHY CAN’T I CURSE!” I thought to myself. I then thought of all the curse words I can think of.

“Crud, shoot, darn, cu…computer.” I then cover my mouth now knowing I can’t curse out loud.

“Oh Glob whats happened to me!” I then run for the stairs to get some answers. Once I get to the surface I ran for the bathroom remembering there’s a mirror cabinet inside. Once I got in, I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection looking back at me. It was a younger version of me; a ten-year-old me looking back.

“FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUDGE!”

“OH COME ON!”

I opened the door only to see Twilight face to face literally. We were basically the same height. That’s when a thought came to me.

“You did this to me didn’t you?” The only thing I got was her trying not to laugh but she’s starting to lose that fight.

“It was! I knew it. You did this to me! Fix it! NOW!” I complained. While I was waiting for her to stop laughing for 3 whole minutes, Spike came in and when he saw me, he was laughing along with Twilight. I never knew being this embarrassed would hurt. I felt like I was going to cry.

“(Sniff) Are you done?” I kept holding on the tear.

“Get back in tear.” Forcing myself not to cry. When Twilight looked at me, she saw me struggling not to cry.

“Shoot she’s looking at me. Do something.”

“Hey you still haven’t answered my question.” I then look at her upset but still not crying. She was moving closer to me almost wanting to hug me. I step back from her know what she was doing.

“Just answer my question already.” I told her. Luckily I was strong enough not to cry.

“(Sigh) Look I have nothing to do with what happened to you, in fact you did this to yourself.”

“How?” I asked her. I then look at Spike who looked like he was going to say something.

“Hey sorry I didn’t mean to upset you. I’m sorry.” Spike apologize.

“No worries. I think whatever’s happened to me is effecting my emotions or something.” I told him. I guess what I said still wasn’t enough for him because he was hugging my leg to try and make me feel better. I then motion him to let go because Twilight wanted me to follow her to a section of the library.

When I met her, she picked the book and showed it to me on a picture of a flower, the same one where I picked from the forest.

“This is called poison joke. It makes whoever it touches look ridiculous. My friends and I walked into a bed of them on accident and it made us look ridiculous.” She told me how it affected her and the rest and it was the most hilarious thing I heard in a long time. Especially the parts where Dash kept crashing into stuff and how Fluttershy sounded like Barry White. For almost a second I let a laugh out but caught it before it came out.

“So is there a cure for this or what?” I asked her. Apparently there is and it shouldn’t be too far from the Spa. Normally I avoid spas for a few reasons but if they can give me the cure for this I’m not objecting.

“Well what are we waiting for, let’s go.” Before we had a chance to go we heard a knock coming from the front door of the library.

“Hey Twilight mind if I come in.” I recognize the raspy voice anywhere.

“Aww crud its Rainbow.” I whispered.

“I do not want this morning to end like this.” I thought. I ran for the back door to get out before Dash could find me.

“Twilight I’ll meet you at the spa just make sure she doesn’t see me.” I was still afraid that she might want a rematch from last time and I’m not ready not in this condition.

“Wait Davi…” before she had a chance I was already outside and was sneaking around the front because that’s where the spa was. It was risky knowing that Rainbow was their but so long is Twilight keeps her distracted I should be in the clear. I look around the corner to see if Twilight is distracting her. I overheard what they were talking about.

“Hey Twilight you haven’t seen David have you.”

“Actually I haven’t seen him this morning.” Twilight answered.

“Well if you see him, tell him if he ever comes near me again, the first thing he’ll see are my hoofs to his face.”

“I knew wussing out was a good idea.” I thought to myself. I then tiptoed as fast as I can, hoping she didn’t see nor hear me walking out. Before I can go any further, I saw Spike walk behind Twilight.

“Hey David, where are you going?” And just like that, Dash looked behind and saw me.

“Would you believe I’m his younger brother?” I sheepishly grinned. She then opened her wings and that’s when I realized that my lie wasn’t going to fly so I ran.

“Son of gun, you ratted me out!” Before I knew it, I felt light weighted and I looked down that I was carried away off the ground.

“Oh Glob don’t kill me!” I tried struggling to get out but we were going so fast, the shirt was picking up on the winds and they almost exposed my parts in midflight so I had to stand still.

“Oh I’m not going to killing. I got something else in mind.”

“What are you going to do? Beat up a kid? That’s just low even for you.”

“Naw something far worse.” Right as she said that we pasted the spa through the market then Sugar Cube Corner until by the next street corner we saw Rarity’s Boutique.

“No pleases Glob I choose death! Someone save meeeeeeee!” I knew what she was planning and I can only see where this was heading.
We then went bursting through the door and Rainbow dropped me on a pile of fabric. I was disoriented when she dropped me all of a sudden. I tried getting my senses back after the whole ride from Rainbow and once I gotten my balance, I got out of the pile and felt a wind rush past me.

“Oh Glob right.” For a moment, I forgot I’m in Rarity’s boutique. I got to get out of here. I then ran for the door and tripped on my loose shirt.

“David?” When I heard Rarity’s voice, I got up and turned the door knob but it was too late I was being pulled in to Rarity’s shop thanks to her magic.

“Noooo!” I yelled while I held both edges of the door so I don’t get inside.

“You’re not going outside wearing that are you? We’ll just have to get you a new ensemble for your size and I have a few ideas in mind.” Before I knew it, I was starting to loose grip.

“Please Glob I want to get off Mr. Bones wild ride!” And with my last words said, my hand slipped and I was pulled inside.

3 Hours later…

“For the last time, can we get a break please.” I asked Rarity to let me go after the first 10 sets of clothes she put out and the reason it took so long was because I tried escaping several times but every time I get out, Dash was there to put me back in the boutique. And no matter which route I took, she was able to catch up to me.

“Awww can you at least tell me what outfit looks best suited for you.” Rarity looked at me with her pouty face thinking I’m weak to her trick.

“Lady I invented that when I was a kid.”

…

“Glob damn it, I am a kid.”

“I don’t know, the overalls I guess.” They were the least flamboyant and flashy clothes she made in her pursuit of finding me the perfect clothes.

“Are you sure?” She looks at me questionably.

“YES!” I yelled.

“Inside voice David. We’re inside you know.” After that there was a bell ringing on the other side of the room. When she heard it, she realized there was another customer.

“I’ll be back shortly David. And once I come back we’ll look over again and see if there was an outfit that we overlooked.” Just like that she left.

I quickly took off the outfit she made me wear and put the overalls on. The previous outfit in question was just blue with those white frills that protrude in the chest region. It was something you’d see in some old painting in the 17th or 16th century which was something I will never wear again. I then thought of another escape plan I can think of but the doors leading outside were locked and that even if I somehow made it out, the problem is Dash herself. Every time I try to escape, she always sends me back before Rarity knew I was gone.

After some thinking I saw Rarity’s cat walk past me, Opalescence I think that’s her name. I then scratched her neck which she craned to my hand for more pressure.

“Good kitty. You know my pain right?” She then looks at me then nods.

“You wouldn’t know a way out would you?” I asked. She then looks at me then moves away to the door. She looks back and motions her head to follow her. I followed her but before I did, I saw some kitty litter and had an idea. I then snuck to the second floor and Opel was scratching the door. I opened it and I instantly knew whose room this was.

“It doesn’t take a genius to know this is Rarity’s room.” I looked around to find that Opal was standing on the window stall and jumped down.

“Oh shoot.”

“Rarity is going to kill me if she finds out…” As it turns out, when I looked out the window, it turns out she was balancing on the edge of the roof. I then got out too and was holding on to the ponies on this carousel like building to get Opel.

“Here kitty, kitty, kitty.” I motioned her to come closer. But the cat jumped and I tried getting her but it was too late. I then looked to where she jumped to see the damage but as it turns out she was fine.

“Wow I guess cats can land on all fours.” I then tried to find a place I can jump down safely but nothing was going to soften my fall so I thought climbing down was the other option. After climbing down the roof with the drain pipes I was able to be on the ground.

I then ran for the spa as fast as I can. I then looked back and saw Dash coming towards me. I freaked out for a second but I didn’t lose my cool because I knew this would happen so I dug into my pockets and grabbed what I needed. I then threw the kitty litter at her face.

“Pocket sand.” She zipped past me and crashed into a nearby vender. I then ran pass her and looked back.

“This makes us even feather face.” I then ran the other corner and when I saw Sugar Cube Corner i entered the building. I looked through the window and saw Dash fly past the shop. I then blew a sigh of relief knowing that I finally lost her. I then look behind me and I saw a bunch of ponies looking at me.

“What? You got a problem?” I asked them. Apparently they never saw a human child before because when I started talking, most of the ponies came to me and wanted to pet my head and hug me like I was their own child.

“Hey quit it. All of you know I’m still the same monster that suddenly appeared in town.” But it didn’t help because they still were treating me like I was a child. I hate it.

“Stop hugging me!” I then frail my arms around in a frenzy to get them to back off. They all moved back away from me.

“I’m not cute. I’m an adult for glob sakes and furthermore today has been the worst morning of my life!” I continued my temper tantrum until I heard someone slam a door open. I look to where the noise was and I cursed myself to coming here to begin with.

“David is that you?” Pinkie asked.

“What do you think.” I looked at her angrily. She then zipped towards me and held me like her life depended on it.

“You are so cute Davey. How did this happen?” she kept going on and on about what happen to me and I couldn’t get a word edge wise. In fact, I couldn’t say anything because her hugging was killing me.

“Can’t…breath.” I then tapped her back to tell her to let go. she looked at me and knew what was telling her.

“Oops sorry.” She then let go and I was able to breathe again. When I looked at her she was just smiling at me and bounced.

“What are you smiling on about?”

“I’m planning on what to do for your late birthday party.” She answered.

“No no. I already celebrated that mess not doing it again.” I told her.

“Not for yesterday but for how old you are in this form.” She continued to bounce.

“I am not celebrating my 10 year old self a birthday. Not happening.”

“Too late.” She sing-song the sentenced. She then brought some weird machine that looked like something you see out of some circus. It played some tune while Pinkie was singing a song that I wasn’t even able to pay attention because right now I was internally screaming in my head for it to be over. When she finished the song, the machine made a ding sound, then out of nowhere, the confetti blew out of the port and since I wasn’t ready for it, it blew me out of the store to the outside.

When I got my bearings back together, I looked back inside and the whole place was covered in what looked like cake batter at least I think it was. When pinkie came out of the bakery, she was covered in the same stuff that cover the inside the building. I didn’t want to deal with this so I ran away from her.

Hours have past and I was finally able to hear again. thank you Jack and Axel. Speaking of which…

“Haven’t heard from you guys. What’s happening?” But no one answered. I guess they’re still trying to heal my body after the craziness that’s happened not too long ago. I then snuck around a few more blocks and

“Yes there’s the spa.” I ran towards the place as fast as my little legs could carry. It looked as if this nightmare was over. My victory was cut short when something tripped over me. I looked down and saw that it was a rope that tied both my legs together.

“Dang it Applejack come on!” I crawled to the spa but no matter how much resistance I tried, I was being pulled back to Applejack.

“Nooooo!” It was at that moment that I decided to just give up because no matter what I do, something bad is going to befall upon me so I just accepted defeat. In fact when I was being dragged I just cried during the whole ordeal.

“Well I’ll be. Is that you David?” Applejack asked. But I didn’t respond because I was too busy self-loathing.

“Hey David are you ok?” Applejack let the rope restraints loose but I was still crying. I guess she heard me crying because she turned me on my back and saw that I was bawling.

“Hey hey hey what’s wrong part….” I interrupted her sentence but I was crying so hard that it was almost incoherent.

“I…(sniff)I…all I wanted wa…wa…(bawling)” I then just let all that bottled up emotions over not just this morning but from the past 8 years of my life. I guess I was making a scene because the other ponies that were walking by were looking at us like a mother was trying to calm down a kid who just lost their favorite toy. It wasn’t long until I heard another voice come around.

“(Gasp) David is that you? Applejack what did you do?” I wanted to answer and I wanted to explain but because the flood works won’t stop. I was unable to speak at all.

“Fluttershy I was just…”

“Whys David crying? Did you do something to him?”

“No she had nothing to do with this.” I wanted to say it but my crying was forcing me to cry more. At this point, my senses were gone for a brief moment until something was hovering over me like someone was comforting me. I looked on my left side and Fluttershy was on my side. I looked around and realized that we were walking on a dirt path then when I looked behind me, her wing was covering me like she was protecting me.

“W…what happened? (Sniff)Where are we going?” I asked her. Apparently from what I can tell from her, was that Applejack was victimizing me because when she heard other ponies that Applejack used her rope and tied me, she must have thought that I was hurt or was in great pain because of her. I then wipe a leftover tear so I can see well.

“No that’s not true.” I then told her the real reason why was bawling like a baby. She must have realized that she made a mistake. She also said that she was going to apologize to her by tomorrow but she was going to focus her attention on me.

“Were here.” I then looked up and saw that we were standing outside her cottage which sort of looked like what the hobbits would actually live in. She opened the door and when we were inside I was surprised to see animals almost everywhere. There were mice, bunnies’, platypus etc. everywhere.

“Oh glob why do you even have a bear? I then ran behind her for cover while looking at the bear to make sure if it was going to go berserk, I’ll get a head start.

“Oh don’t worry he’s harmless David.” I didn’t believe her but I was going to keep my distance just in case. After walking around the cottage I was beginning to feel hungry because I miss breakfast and lunch.

“Oh David are you hungry?” I then nodded quietly.

“What would you like?” I then look away.

“Can I have a grilled cheese…..please?” I asked politely. I followed her to the kitchen but she stopped me and wanted me to wait.

“But that bear…”

“Don’t worry about him. He’s really a nice bear.” She then walked back about to prepare the meal. I then walked around the place and sat on her sofa. I looked around and the animals were looking at me like was the new kid in school. Then this lone white bunny comes to my direction, looks at me with the stink eye.

“(Sigh) You’re not the only one that hates me. I always have someone that hates me without a reason.” I then look away and look at the bear then at the bunny again.

“But do you want to know what really ticks me off little bunny?” I lower my head. Then I shot quick death glance to the rabbit.

“Its people like you that make me hate myself for even existing.” I guess the bunny got the message that I am not one to disturb lightly so he backed away slowly along with the others that were unfortunate to see me at my darkest hour.

“David dinners ready.” Fluttershy announce. I then got off and walked to the kitchen and saw a few animals that backed away from me. I then sat on the table and started eating. After I finished, I thanked her for the meal.

“Can I go back to Twilight’s now?” I asked her.

“Actually its getting dark out and I don’t do well in the dark to be honest.” I sigh knowing that I should just drop it because fighting this has just become tiring up to this point. Plus I just wanted this day to end already.

“So do I sleep on the sofa or what?” I asked her.

“Actually I have an extra room that you can sleep tonight.”

“Can you show me?” We both went up and she showed me where I was sleeping tonight and it perfect. The bed was made; there was a desk, a closet and a single window that showed the dirt road. When I was done looking around I decided that I should just get to sleep.

“Good night David.”

“G’night.” She then turned off the lights and I slowly drifted to sleep. I woke up only to realize that I wasn’t in Fluttershy’s cottage anymore. I was back in my city but the street I was in was in shambles almost as if there was a mob that decided to go crazy.

“Oh no. not again.” I looked around and saw the figure again just like my nightmare from earth. I ran away from the figure as fast as I can so that I can change the events so that I can finally end this suffering. I ran but no matter where I go, he finds me and when I finally found something to defend myself, he takes it away from me so easily just like before.

When I turned the next corner, I looked back to make sure he wasn’t there but I bumped into something and fell down.

“Just pathetic. Running like a little foal.” The figure somehow lifted me like I was nothing and my throat began to constrict causing me to choke.

“As soon as you’re gone, your planet will belong to us while you along with your kind will finally die off.” Then the figure began to choke me even harder causing me to slowly lose my senses. I try struggling to breathe but the more I struggle, the more likely it was futile.

“I…i…I’m sorry.” I then close my eyes about to give but I heard something off the distance.

“David…David….DAVID!”

I woke up all of a sudden and finally began to breathe again. I look around and notice that Fluttershy was holding on to me tightly.

“Fluttershy.” I then held her tightly and I started sobbing. I told her everything about my dream.

“David would you like to sleep in my room?” I nodded to her and we both go to her room so that I don’t have to sleep alone. When we finally got to her room, I laid down on the right side of the bed so that when the sun comes up, I’ll get a head start to the spa so I can finally end this curse. Fluttershy then held me under her wings so that I don’t feel cold.

I didn’t know why but I felt safe when I’m around Fluttershy for some reason. I guess it’s the poison joke is making me worse in each hour.
“I need to get back to normal.” I finally shut my eyes and began sleeping again only this time the nightmares finally subside this time.

End of Chapter 13.

Author's Note

Hello everyone who's read this story so far. I happy that I'm starting to get likes this past few months although there have been somewhat dislike which was as expected which i don't even care i just like writing and its a good start I guess. Anyways I've been busy due to college being a huge pain in my ass, I also have to balance my social life too and catching up with friends as well too. So I apologies that there has to be a chapter almost every month; I've notice the patterns. Well any who, I've got a question for any writer or reader thats out their; Do you listen to music while writing a story and if so what is it? My favorite to listen is this...

Chapter 14 – Growing up

When the sun’s light hit my eyes, I slowly began to wake up. I looked behind me and Fluttershy was nowhere to been seen. I then got out of bed slowly and began walking downstairs while rubbing my eyes to get the junk out. The smell of eggs being cooked called me so I head downstairs to see Fluttershy making breakfast. I looked at the dining table and its just like your average breakfast spread; eggs, toast, you name it, only difference is there’s no bacon or meat.

(Dang I miss meat, badly.)

“Oh David your awake. Please sit down.” She asked me and I implied.

“Hey thanks for the food.” Once I thanked her, we began eating.

“Hey David about last night this happened before right?” She asked me. I looked down on my plate so I don’t have to answer. But I know too well that if I don’t, she’s going to keep asking me so I decided it was best to just let it out.

“Fine but promise one thing; don’t you ever tell this to anyone. Not even a soul. Got it?”

“I promise.” After she promised, I told her the constant nightmares that have been plaguing me a few weeks before I came here and that yesterday it resurfaced again without a reason. The nightmares involve me in a recently dystopian San Francisco where everywhere I go it’s just silence and destroyed buildings that looked like they were looted. Then the figure comes and no matter how badly I wanted to change the dream, it almost ends with me almost dying and waking up in cold sweat.

Needless to say after I had told her all this she held me like someone only a mother would to her child, gentile yet strong enough to not let me go.

“David I want you to know that I’ll always be there when you need somepony to care for you.” I rolled my eyes knowing this would happen but it was a good sentiment no less so I guess I’m grateful. But enough of this and now I finally asked her if we can go out to the spa.

“Please I heard that that place has the cure for…this.” I motioned my entire body telling her that this is not the body of full fledge adult. She realized what I was referring to and looks saddened.

“Oh are you certain that’s what you want?” I told her yes and that I wouldn’t want it any other way.

(I mean I don’t want to be like this for another 8 years. Plus puberty sucks.) It dawned on me on what I was thinking.

“I said suck.” I then reacted when I said suck. I got out of my chair, got down on my knees and reached my arms out in the air and spoke at the top of my lungs...

“I CAN SAY SUUUUUUUUCK!” I looked around me and saw that Fluttershy and her animals looked at me. I then think about all the life choices I made and thought this isn’t even one of the most embarrassing acts I’ve done in my life. After the whole thing was past, we finished our meal and headed off to town.

While we were walking, I looked at Fluttershy’s direction and had a thought but shook off the idea thinking it was stupid and ridicules. But once the idea was out of the way, I tripped over a rock and fell on my face.

“Ahh cripes.” I push myself up but Fluttershy was worried I might have hurt myself. I told her it was fine and that this was nothing.

“Uh David if it’s ok with you; do you want me to carry you to the spa?” It took me by surprised that she would want to carry me. I was too big to be carried plus this is Fluttershy, but since I’m a kid now, I may not be so heavy but it would be ridiculous.

(Buuuuuuut…) I always wanted to know what it was like to ride a pony. I mean my sister got to in her birthday and I didn’t because like I said I was too big at the time and it was for wussies back on Earth.

(Fudge it!) I feel as though this maybe my only chance to do anything like this. So I told her I take her offer and I climbed on her back. I balanced myself but I asked her if I was heavy.

“No. In fact, you kind of feel a bit lighter than I thought.” I didn’t know either to feel complemented or shamed. Regardless of what she said, at least she won’t be hurt while she’s carrying. We moved along to the town and when we were at the market district everypony was staring at us.

I didn’t bother with the staring but I looked at Fluttershy and she looked like she was hyperventilating quietly. I realize that she must not like the attention.

(She may not be afraid of me but she’s a bigger wuss then Vincent.) I shook the memories away because I’m no longer friends with that traitor. After realizing the longer she walks, the more ponies are going to stare at her. So I decided to jump down and walk with her rather than be carried all the way.

When we were about to turn the corner, I heard one of satins’ minions finally wanting the toll.

“David I want pay back for what you did!”

“Oh sphincters.” I then ran behind Fluttershy so that Rainbow Dash wouldn’t beat me a new one or worse send me to Applejacks farm. Luckily Fluttershy was able to stop Dash in her pursuit of vengeance on to me.

“Oh Dash what seems to be the problem?”

“You know what is. That punk made me the laughing stalk of the town from yesterday’s stunt he pulled.”

“That’s because you put me in the care of Rarity you big poopy head.”

“Just you wait when you get big again; I’ll make you regret ever setting hoof in Ponyville.”

“Then bring it, Rainbow CRASH.” I think I might have set her off because she was about to come after me. Fluttershy stopped Dash before she could have the chance to actually fight me.

“Dash you know you can’t hurt him. He’s just a foal.” After she said that Dash knew that if she hits me, her reputation would only worsen plus the street was more occupied. So she finally gives in to Fluttershys request. I stick my tongue out in Rainbows sight to show I win. AGAIN.

Needless to say it only agitated her even more but she’s still putting up with my antics only until I get big again. So when Fluttershy and I were walking, Dash was following us knowing that we were going to the spa. I really need to ditch her because if I don’t, Dash is going to have a lot of opportunities once I get big.

“David is that you?” I look around me and saw that it was Applebloom including her other friends too. They looked at me thinking I was a different person.

“Yeah don’t ask how this happened.”

“Poison joke.” Sweetie belle and Applebloom said in unison.

“How’d you…”

“Lucky guess.” Applebloom said. I wanted to ask but it would only make even less sense so forget it.

“So David we want to ask you if you want to play with us.” Scootaloo ask while carrying a purple and white stripped ball. I was about to answer but I looked behind the three and saw two more ponies I really didn’t want to see.

“Oh wow is that the hairless monkey?” Diamond Tiara asked.

(I’m really getting sick of being called that.)

“Look now’s not the time for this so I’m a make like a tree and leave.” I really didn’t want to do this right now so I asked Fluttershy if we can go. Before Fluttershy would give an answer Diamond gave a snarky remark.

“Wants wrong don’t have anything better to say now that you’re small.” When she said I was small, I couldn’t help that one; I am still taller than her and two; how is small close to intellect. However I hate when someone points the obvious that I’m small. And to be fair she brought this upon herself.

“Hey Scootaloo I decided I will play with you guys but I got a game we can play. Pass me the ball.” She complies and throws the ball to me. I play around with the ball for a bit.

“We humans play a lot of ball games. There’s so many to choose from too; Basketball, Football, Baseball…” I then push the ball to the unexpected Diamond and once it hit her face, the ball bounced back to me.

“Ow.”

“Dodgeball. The rules are simple: you get hit…” I threw it again and it hit her then came back to me again.

“You’re out. But if you can catch it…” I repeated the action again.

“You can bring a teammate back but the opponent is out. So you want to know the best strategy of the game?” I fake a throw and she flinched but once she was off guard, I threw it again then it came back.

“Dodge. So I got one last question to ask; do you want to play a game?” I asked with a mischievous smirk. That got to her because she was running away along with her friend too.

“Still think I got nothing good to say NOW!” I threw the ball back to Scootaloo and she caught it.

“Glad you understand the rules of the game but I need to get back to normal. Maybe later I promise I’ll go easy.” I then signal Dash and Fluttershy to hurry. We walk for another few blocks and Dash was the first to ask.

“You went too far on Diamond. I mean I heard she’s done some terrible things from Scoots but that was uncalled for.”

“Bullies are bullies regardless of gender plus I’m her age so it was fair game.”

“But…” Before Fluttershy would say anything we finally made it to the spa. We walk in and we see Rarity in the front desk. When I saw her, I moved behind Fluttershy so she wouldn’t get me again.

“Oh Rarity it’s great to see you.” Rarity looks back and sees Fluttershy and Dash. She looks happy that the two are here but what she was surprised about Dash being here.

(Guess Dash isn’t a fan of Spas. Makes sense I guess.)

“Oh my. David it’s great to see you too. But where were you yesterday? I made so many ensembles for you to try on.”

(Oh no Vietnam flashbacks are coming again.)

“You stay away from me you poopy cloth designer.” I insulted her. The only thing she made for me was my Tartarus. I realized that there were loopholes and words that I can say while I’m cursed but that ends today.

“David apologize.” Fluttershy told me. I refused to follow what she had to say because it was true ,Rarity could have easily took me to the spa and I would have been normal but she wanted to see me in a sailor suit.

“David.” Fluttershy said my name with bit more stern tone. I looked at her direction to tell her no way, but when I looked into her eyes, something almost compelled me to do it. But I need to stand tall. I tried looking away but those eyes want me to look and be judge.

(No, no don’t give in.) When I looked again, the wall finally crumbled.

“Alright fine, Rarity I’m sorry. Alright can we please just get me back to normal geez?” Fluttershy looks happy again and that look was no longer there.

(Seriously what was that?)

I walk to the front of the desk and asked the pony in front to take me to the cure for poison joke. And like Rarity she treats me like I’m a child.

(Seriously I think I remember you at that party. Heck you were the first to move aside when I was going to the buffet.) She also brought her sister I think. Because the reason they look like twins, the slightest difference is that there mane and coat color are switched and vice versa.

“Well aren’t you the cutest thing we seen all day.”

(Endure this David. You’ll be big again soon.) I hear giggling behind me. I can hear that it was Dash and Rarity.

“(Sigh) I think Twilight made a schedule for me to come here.” Apparently they owed Twilight a favor and knew that I was broke so they asked me to come along with them. I look back and saw that the girls were waiting back.

“Hey wait can those three come along too?” I asked. The pony with the blue mane and pink coat looked at me and was about say something but I let in my secret weapon; the puppy eyes.

“Please.” I then pouted my lips for good measure. They both succumbed to my childish charms. They allowed the three to come along too and we entered a room that had a bath that could fit five of these ponies hopefully it can fit me too. The twin ponies told me that they will get the ingredients they need to make the cure. I asked them it’s ok so they both left.

So it was only me, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Dash in this room. I walk around this place and checked whatever there was in this room. I found the towels and a robe and I put them near the tub just in case. I then find a seat and sat finally relaxed.

“So this never leaves the room but I want to thank you all.” They both had curious looks at one another.

“I’m not much for this sort of thing but bare with me. I just want to thank Fluttershy for letting me sleep over at her home and I also like to thank you Rarity for making me clothes that fit me too.” The two told me it was for nothing that they would gladly help me in my time of need.

“But I’m going to say this Dash I’m sorry for the trouble I’ve caused for you. I was a jerk and I should have said all those things when we fought. Truce?” I raised my hand as a sign of peace hoping this would be water under the bridge. Dash was thinking about it and I wouldn’t blame her, I wouldn’t trust me too.

“To be fair, I was a first class jerk wad. But if you don’t want to, it’s…fine.” I then lower my hand knowing this was a waste. Something inside of me hurts. I don’t know what I’m feeling.

(Is this guilt? Whatever it is, it freaking hurts a little.) I hear the door open and the twins return with bottles. They both pour it in the tub and started heating up the bath. After about a few minutes, they say that it was ok to get in so I grab a towel and found a room I can undress.

When I got out all I was wearing was just a towel and I starting getting in the tub. It was hot at first but I got used to it. When I finally got my entire body in, the feeling was amazing. I looked to find where the others were and Rarity was getting a mud facial along with Fluttershy and as for Dash, she’s just sitting back relaxing. As for me, I just let the hot bath do its work so I just started drifting off to sleep.

I don’t know how long I was sleeping for but I think it might be time for me to get out of the tub. So I lifted myself off the tub, grabbed the towel and robe but when I tried putting it on, it was difficult putting my arm through the holes for the arms and it’s not just that, the towel was barely able to cover me. I looked around the room and no one was in the room. So I thought I might sneak out and ask the staff if they have a bigger towels. When I was walking out I wasn’t looking and I stubbed my toe on something and the pain was unbelievable.

“Agghh son of the emerald whore!” When I heard my voice, it dawned on me that I was back to normal. My voice was deeper than the younger version and I can finally curse again. When I finally can curse again, I inhaled and said all the swear words I can think of, to know for sure I was back to normal. Needless to say, if someone with a weak heart heard me right now, I’m pretty sure they’d be sent to a hospital.

(Oh man that… that felt good.) Once all of that was over, I walked around the place and realized that the three ponies were gone. They must have left when I was sleeping.

I found the door to the lobby and opened to see the other three ponies pay out for their treatments. When they looked in my direction, they were a bit surprised that they don’t see the little boy that came in through the door and outcomes a completely different person.

“Oh man it feels so great to be old again.”

(Never thought I hear that sentence come out of me.) I walk closer to them and their heights were at my hip area. Good.

“Finally I’m not small anymore. Being a kid sucks ass.”

“David, language.” Fluttershy looked up at me with disappointment in her face. Normally I apologize but I don’t feel guilty, not like from a few minutes ago.

“Guess what Fluttershy? I don’t give a God damn. Because I can say whatever I want and what I want right now, I want to go back to the library and change.” With a happy tone knowing that I’m me again.

“Not with that attitude.” Rarity looked at me with mild disgust about how I was acting.

“And to think I was considering and thinking of accepting that apology of yours an hour ago.” Dash looked at me with mild irritation in her face.

“Welp now that I’m back to my old self again I’m going back to Twilights and getting my clothes back. So if you don’t mind I’ll take my leave and send the bill to Twilight.” I turned around to find the exit to this place and was about to leave.

“Wait you can’t take that towel with you I’m afraid.” The pink colored and blue maned pony said.

“Yes you would not believe the times that our customers borrow our towels and sometimes forget to bring them.” Said her other sister.

I asked them to let me just this once but they still refuse.

“Guess you’re stuck here until one of us brings you your clothes.” Dash said with a chuckle at the end of her sentience.

“(Gasp) I can make you a whole new assemble back at the boutique although it will take me a while considering the endless possibility.” Rarity continued on talking. I looked at Fluttershy but I looked away knowing that she’s out because of how I talked to her. While they were busy with what they were thinking or doing, I was thinking about my options and they were slim. However the fun way kept creeping in my thoughts and I thought what the hell.

Without hesitation, I grabbed the door handle but once I turned it, I also grabbed the towel and threw it to the ponies’ direction more specifically to Dashes face. Once they were distracted, I ran outside butt ass naked straight shoot to the library.

“Wooooo streaking!” I ran screaming almost complete none sense while laughing. This hasn’t been my first streak remember those misdemeanor? Most were for this to trespassing but it was thrilling to out run the cops. While I was running I saw a pony that was taking out the trash and it lifted two trash lids, so an idea came up so I yoinked the two lids and hid my naked body in case if kids were around. Even streakers has standards.

After finally making it to the library, I opened door and ran down to the stairs to the lab where my clothes were supposed to be but they aren’t. I looked around the lab only to not find them. Since they were not down here I ran upstairs to see if Twilight had put them somewhere else. While I was running I tripped on one of the steps and was about to crash into the door but it opened on its own.

“Shit.” I pulled myself up and looked down to see Twilight in my vision. She looked up to me when she recovered from the collision.

“Uhhhh…” I was speechless to say the least because right now in this situation I have nothing to explain. Twilight’s horn glowed and without reacting, I was pushed down the stairs and tumbled down.

Once the tumbling was over I only had one thing to say…

“Ow.” With a weak tone. I wanted the pain to end but later somehow I’m alive and still kicking thanks to Jack and Axel for healing my body and after two days of not talking to them they had a lot of magic to heal me right away.

(What in God’s name happened? One day we’re healing the back of your head after you fell and the next thing we knew you’re on top of Twilight.)

(Nice.)

(What the f@#K...)

I was about to ask them why they haven’t talked to me but I got bigger problems we need to deal with. I got back up then ran to the bed then grabbed the sheets to make shift a toga. Then climbed the stairs to see what Twilights conditions were.

“Twilight you haven’t seen my pants laying around here have you?” I looked up the stairs that were heading I assume was Twilights room and my pants including my underwear that were inside were thrown in my face when I asked.

“Thank you.” I head down stairs and put them on. The only thing that was missing was my shirt which was back at Rarity’s boutique so I got to remind myself to go out tomorrow.

(Ten bucks down the drain.) So after all that weirdness had ended I think it was about time I ended that day because I’m pretty sure I just humiliated myself until something equally as embarrassing as that comes before Halloween rolls around. Once I walked up the stairs, I locked the door and walked down to sleep this off after that whole uhh… accident. I don't think we can ever forget that without booze or even have enough.

End of Chapter 14

Chapter 15 – Spooky Scary Human

For half the month, Twilight and I have been avoiding each other ever since the whole streaking incident. It got to a point where if we were in the same room, we both make up an excuse to leave and I spend my entire day outside until night falls. The day after it happen, I went to Rarity’s place to get my T-shirt back but knew that Twilight was going to be in the library all day or so. So I stayed with Rarity for the entire day and ask her to make me extra clothing.

“Should have done this sooner.” I thought to myself. However I had to model for Rarity for all the clothes she made for party’s to galas to casuals. Inside I was dying of both boredom and running out of that place because I was getting sick of wearing a seemingly endless supply of tuxedos instead of some regular God damn pants. Eventually we settled with regular clothes and she actually sewed me some extra boxers so it wasn’t all in vain.

But since it was still sunny today, I headed to the market and entered the same coffee place I met Ditsy. I entered in and saw Ditsy drinking all alone so I came over to her and said hi to her.

“Hey David long time no see.”

“Yeah. Just needed to unwind a bit after all the insanity I had to put up with.” Ditszy was confused until I told her what’s been happening to me since our last visit.

“Wow I didn’t expect something all this happened to you. And were you really a foal since yesterday?” I nodded my head.

“Aww pony feathers I wanted to know what you look like as a foal.” She looks downs at the table a bit sad. I chuckled a bit since I was glad she never saw me as a kid otherwise I’ll never hear the end of it. We were chatting about almost anything we can think of so long as I don’t go back to the library. Eventually she had to leave due to mail delivering and I stayed in the café until I was almost running out of bits.

“Damn I’ve almost blew half my stash away I need to earn more.” Working for Applejack wasn’t an option and finding a job here would be impossible due to not having any experience with any sort of job. My options are really thin that I didn’t even realize some pony was standing next to my table asking me if I was going to order something else.

“Hey… thing you going to order something or not?”

“You mind? I’m sort of in the middle of a crisis here.” Without even looking at the pony.

“Sorry but I’m going to have to ask you to leave. Like now.” She said with more stern tone.

“Oh yeah says who.” With a smug tone.

“Like I’m going to listen to someone who’s getting under payed for this place.” I took a sip of my cup but realize that it was empty again. Without knowing it, someone punched me in the face.

“Ow. OK who’s the wise guy tha…” I looked at the person who hit me and a pony with a chocolate colored coat and long black flowing mane. It’s the same pony that took my order.

“Hey what gives?! You know what? I want to speak to your manager.” I asked the employee hoping to get her fired.

“Oh really now? Well coincidentally I’m the manager here. ”

“You’ve got to be kidding me.” I asked if she was joking, turns out she wasn’t and that if I don’t get my flank out of her shop she’s going to punch me again until I leave. I told her I’ll leave but only because I’m trying to salvage what little bits I have until I go broke. When walking out of the café, an idea came to me.

“Wait? Are you the only one running this place?”

“Yep.” Was here answer.

“Don’t you have other ponies running this place I mean what happens if you got sick?”

“Then I lose one day of profits.”

“Are you looking for ponies that want to apply here?” I asked hoping she might want me to work here. I need those bits so I don’t have to go back to the library. Plus that punch she threw was pretty ballsy so I can respect that albeit I’ll bide my time on getting her back.

“Depends can you make even the simplest brew?” She asked me.

“What, Black?” She said I was hired after that. I didn’t understand how I got hired that fast after I answered but I didn’t care so long as I get out of the library. So when we finally agreed in terms of working schedules and payment, I left the place to explore the town, to get a better understanding of this place.

When night fell, I came back to the library and checked if Twilight was around. Thankfully she wasn’t anywhere to be seen, so I let myself in.

“I’m back. Oh and also I got a job today. I start tomorrow.” Once I said that, I closed the door to the lab and locked it. I was waiting for the hostess to go bonkers but it never came. Guess she’s still traumatized from yesterday.

(Wow yesterday was that bad? Huh.) I shrugged the thought knowing that there’s nothing I could do to fix this for her and me.

PRESENT DAY…

“And here’s your payment.”

“Thanks Hazel.” I thanked my boss. While she was giving me my paycheck for the week, she asked what sort of plans I got planned for today since its Nightmare night. When I first heard of it, I hadn’t got a clue until they told me the details. Turns out it’s the same traditions as Halloween with some minor differences. Regardless Halloween is my favorite time of year under a few other holidays.

Hazel was waiting on me to answer, so I told her I was going to celebrate in the festival but not in costume because I was too cheap to buy one and that it would be pointless considering the costume ideas I had would only make the ponies confused.

“Damn so much for that Dante outfit back home.” We both got out of the café and went our separate ways. I looked around and this place was starting to look more festive heck even the adults are wearing costumes that were a bit childish. While I was walking back to the library, Pinkie just pop right in front of me without any warning.

“Gahh!” I fell back after she pop out then she just jumped on top of me. She literally dressed up as a chicken for Halloween.

“Hey Davey what are you dressing up as? Tell me, tell me, TELL ME.” I pushed her off of me and told her I wasn’t going to wear a costume.

“Aww Why not?”

“Because it’s for child…foals.” I keep forgetting I’m in their world and I have to change my sentences for them to understand. She looked at me with bewilderment thinking it was nonsense. No matter how many times she told me why I should celebrate, I keep rejecting. I was about to make a run for the library but knew better not to do it, so I told her I might stop by at the festival. It worked so she zipped away somewhere else.

“Thank freaking Christ she’s gone.”

“I swear she’s going to be the death of me.” Forgotten to mention that Jack and Axel were back in my head again. When I asked them where they were after I was turned into a kid they responded with…

“We just disappeared, like we just didn’t exist until you came back to normal.” All three of us couldn’t figure it out but what we do know is that I’ll never want to see poison joke again. I cracked open the door to check if Twilight was around. Luckily she wasn’t around to be seen.

I zipped to the basement and locked the door ready to see my homemade rock candy was ready. The reason why I’m making it is because that knowing Twilight, she’s those types that give out apples or boxes of raisins and I am not looking forward in cleaning out eggs off the wall the next morning. I did a head count of how many I made and I think two hundred pieces would keep us off having our home being egged or T.Ped.

Footsteps were heard from upstairs so that must have meant that Twilight was back. Once the final piece of rock candy was hardened I took it and wrapped it in plastic. Once that was done, I put it in the small bowl along with the rest of the other pieces. When everything was all set it was about time I decided to take a nap until it was time for the holiday to start. so i happily went to bed and began dozing off.

I slowly woke up only to realize that I wasn’t in bed anymore and that I was outside of the library. I looked around my surroundings and noticed it was town square but all around me it looked desolate, abandon; just dead in general. I walked around more to find out what’s happened to this place.

“This has to be a trick. Someone’s trying to pull a trick on me.” I stumbled onto the town hall building and it looked run down and that the paint looked decayed almost like it hasn’t been refurnished for years. The door looked like it couldn’t hold itself and that it could break apart if I were to touch it. Regardless of its conditions, it grabbed the door and pulled it to enter the building.

I looked around the whole building and it was dark, cold, and dusty. Even if there was no wind outside, inside felt like a freezer not to mention that the art work around this place were scratched up almost like something tore them down violently without a second thought. The deeper I go inside the building, the more the place looked trashed. I stopped walking knowing that if I keep going, it’ll be more likely that something might pop out and attack.

I turn around to head outside but heard something that was from the floor. There was only darkness in the hall so no matter how well adjusted my eyes were to the dark, there was nothing in the halls or at least I thought there was. It was quiet again then I heard something brake all of a sudden.

“Screw this.” There was no way I’m moving forward after hearing the crap. I’m not dying for curiosity’s sake. The door was only a few steps away; however something behind me caused me to fall when it landed on the ground but missed me. Once recovered, I looked at what landed and saw a clocked being.

“What the hell?” There was fear in my tone when I saw that thing landed. It looked down on me for a second then it lifted its arm looking like it was going to hit me but it’s appendage began to glow an eerily red glow, resembling almost bloody like, it was using some sort of magic. Without even reacting, I was pushed by something without any sort of logical means.

“Wait did it use some sort of levitation spell on me?!” When I got up, the clocked silhouette came out of town hall and I can see what it looked like. The clock covered almost every trace of its body but when it started to walk and I saw its bare foot. It was a human’s leg so it must be another human being but that couldn’t be unless…

“I knew it. I was on Earth the whole God damn time. And all this talk of magic was all a trick was it? Ha good one and I actually fell for that.” I laughed at the guy for setting all this up. He didn’t say a word still playing the act?

“But you know I’m going to have to kick your ass since I did say in the beginning I’ll beat anyone that tricks me.” So I ran towards the guy to give him a good uppercut. Once close enough, I was ready to throw a punch but I suddenly lost the momentum, like the motion completely stopped. His hand, covered in black gloves, was glowing the same color when he used that spell.

“You’re not real.” Was what he said, then he waved it away from him which sent me to the same direction he motioned his arm. He hurled me to a concrete wall which caused a small crack when I impacted. When I hit the wall I heard a small crack sounding like a bone had been snapped. And there I lay down on the ground unable to move my legs.

“What the ho…how?” I said quietly losing all of that confidence a few seconds ago. It didn’t make sense how can he do that?! He’s only human and humans can’t use magic. When I looked up he was but only a few inches away. He lifted his arm again and out of nowhere a sword appeared out of thin air. He grabbed it before it could drop and was readying to strike the blade on me.

“I thought you would end this. Guess no matter what happens; there never will be a happy ending.” Before he could kill me, I woke up feeling like I held my breath for more than I should count. I looked around and it was the lab again. I ran up the stairs and opened the lab door again to see Twilight giving out candy to Pinkie Pie along with a few colts and fillies too.

“(Sigh) it was only a nightmare.” I walked down the steps to grab the bowl of rock candy. I climbed back up with the bowl and shared some to the kids but not Pinkie since she’s way too old to be doing this but without me looking, she took some with her hair. Knowing her, I decided to not fight this since there’re kids around.

When they all left I set the bowl down and looked at Twilights costume.

“What the hell are you wearing?” I’m confused about her costume. I mean is she a wizard or something and more importantly who? She looked at me for a few seconds but got her bearings back when I asked again. She said she was someone named Star Swirl the neck bearded or something and he did some crap I wouldn’t even care. The point was its Halloween and I’m going out pulling pranks to night.

“Yeah I’m heading out right now. Don’t worry I’ll be at the festival if you need me.”

“Hey we’re going too David. Want to come along with us?” Spike asked while wearing a dragon costume.

“Wow talk about Dragon-ception.” I thought to myself. However when Spike asked, Twilight looked a bit uncomfortable about the idea including me considering we still haven’t talked about it but I rather let it be buried. But if I don’t accept the offer, then he might suspect something. So I agreed to follow them.

Hours had passed but we made it to town hall. The entire place was lively, there were ponies dressed in costume including the adults. There were also stands and tents that had activities like bobbing for apples; which was manned by the Applejack and the rest of her family. So I ran to booth so that I can eat some apples.

“Sup Applejack.” I gave her a few bits so that I can enter the activity. Once I was there, I crouched down and was about to dunk my head in when Ditzy came out of the water. Needless to say I was surprised when she came out.

“Oops sorry David. I didn’t expect you to be here.” I told her there was no need to apologize since to be honest I was trying to keep my heart from jumping out after that scare. I helped her get out of that tank and saw that her outfit was really bizarre. She knew what I was staring and asked me what I thought. I told her bluntly I had no clue what she was. She said she was a box and in my mind I was going ask her why a box but Jack told me something was coming.

“Grab any apple and throw it to the sky in a 75 degree angle as hard as you can.” I listened to him and threw it in the sky. I heard someone exclaim in pain on top of me and when I looked up, there was a cloud that's suspiciously too close to the ground then it should be. Somepony poked their head out of the cloud only for me to recognize who it was.

“Nice try Trash but make sure you weren’t easy for me to hear you a mile away.” Rainbow was not amused by what I called her. We were about to have in argument but Ditzy stopped me before I could start it.

“David you pinky promised me you wouldn’t fight.” I took in a deep breath and exhaled knowing I did, so I dropped the conversation not for her but I wasn’t feeling it.

“Look whatever you were trying to do, it isn’t happening so annoy Twilight or something because I’m trying to enjoy this holiday.” It looked like she got the message so she flew and moved the cloud to Twliight and Applejack’s direction. Turns out when she hit the cloud it caused to make a thunderous noise which scared Twilight and Spike. I turned around to continue bobbing for apples so that I can eat them.

“Thanks for the warning.”

“If it weren’t for Ditsy scaring us, I probably wouldn’t have sensed our surroundings more. I’ll make sure no one tries to surprise us.” During the month my senses were becoming more alert when something was coming and it’s saved a lot of Pinkies surprises but not good enough for me to avoid them. I think my powers were starting to develop more but I don’t know how to even use them, they just do when I’m more aware of the environment or situation.

After about eating five or six apples Applejack told me to leave because ponies haven’t had a chance to bob for one. I looked up at the sky and told Applejack Rainbow was about to scare her. She turned around and I took an apple for the road.

“Heh looks like there some lies she can’t tell.” I walked around the place and saw a bunch of ponies gather around one area. Apparently the mayor was telling about the story of nightmare moon and how giving your candy in this area where she was supposed to be, would leave the town alone. The whole leave your candy thing sounded stupid.

Before leaveing the area there was a strong gust of wind that suddenly came out of nowhere and that the whole place was getting a bit darker. I looked up and saw a carriage that was being carried by ponies with armor and bat wings instead of the usual feathered wings. What they were carrying was another pony that was cloaked and that it was almost the same size Celestia herself.

“No way.” I whispered. It was…

“Nightmare Moon.” Somepony said while everybody else was running like headless chickens. They were running amok; some were in fetal positions, some were so shocked that they didn’t move. When the pony landed on the ground she yelled to the crowd with a mighty voice that you could hear it from another town then stomped the ground so hard, it made the ground shook for a bit. Needless to say I felt a little intimidated considering what just happened.

Everyone around me was kneeling down, not looking at her. I looked at Twilight's direction and saw that Spike too were on their knees too except that Twilight was trying to stand but Spike was pulling her down. It’s at this point that this pony and I were the only ones standing. When she looked at me she had a confusing look on her expecting me something.

“I think she expects us to bow to her.”

“Like hell I would.” I turned around so that I can head towards the library because I’m not having this today.

“WHERE DOES THOU LEAVE TO?!” She yelled while a strong gust of wind almost blew me away. Needless to say, I didn’t respond because if I said something, it would only lead to violence. So I ignored her and left for the library. She then reappeared in front of me almost face to face.

“I WILL SAYETH AGAIN, WHERE DOTH WALK OFF TO?!” When she yelled in front of my face, my hair was pulled back from the sheer force that felt like i was close to a jet engine and I was completely deaf because of her. I couldn’t help but get mad at how retarded this pony was yelling in my face so I screamed back at her or I think so.

“SHUT THE BUCK UP YOU RETARDED SACK OF CRAP!” I think that’s what I said. She looked at me with a surprised look on her face.

“GET OUT OF MY BUCKING WAY AND PISS OFF. MORON!” I bumped her shoulder while walking away from her so that I can get some rest while waiting for my hearing to come back. Once back at the library, I grabbed the bowl of the remaining rock candy I made and went down the lab to eat and nap.

“The hell was her problem?”

“Were one to talk too.” I laughed at that thought because that one’s sort of true.

A few hours have pass and I was being poked from my sleep. I shoved the hoof away telling someone to leave me. The poking kept going and it’s starting to get annoying to the point I had to know who was poking me. Knowing that it might be Twilight I gave her one of my death glares knowing that this is not the time for talking. But it wasn’t Twilight it was the pony that yelled at me.

“What the hell are you doing in my house?!” I angrily asked.

“I’m sorry for the way we…I acted.” She then bows her head. This was something new to me.

“So you’re not going to hurt me?”

“Why would I do that? Is it because of our first encounter? Twilight had mention of your behavior and the modern etiquette of speaking with other ponies, so I’m well aware of how I acted before.”

“So why are you here?”

“I’m quite fascinated about you Mr. Grant. I’ve seen dreams of ponies about you both the good and bad. So I wanted to meet you in your dreams.”

“Oooook.” So this chicks a bag of nuts. Seriously what did she mean about meeting me in my dreams.

“However your mind was enforced and secured that I couldn’t enter. So I needed to ask you if I can enter you mind to know what sort of hue-man my sister brought.” Once she finished her explanation, I’m still surprised how I didn’t kick her out or called the cops in the first place. But when she said her sister I made the connection that she was Celestia sister. Plus she was wearing a tiara and that she had the same outfit I met Celestia.

I asked her why she needed to enter my head and she only replied the same answer again. It’s not like I have anything against these ponies, they just need to make sure they don’t screw with me. But I’m not going to get any sleep if I just say no so I told her she can go inside. If she wants to know who I am might as well take the fastest route.

“I promise you that nothing will happen to you and it would only take a second I promise.”

“Fine.” She told me to close my eyes and concentrate on “opening my mind” So I kept repeating it in my head like a mantra. There wasn’t a sound to be heard while she was doing whatever she was doing. That’s when I heard a crash coming from the lab that made me jump a bit which opened my eyes. I thought I would see Luna but she’s gone. I looked for a match and candle on the desk and when I looked around the lab it was in utter disarray. Papers were all around the ground and air too.

“What the hell did she do?” Was all I can say while picking up the pieces of paper in the floor.

“If I leave it all messy, Twilights going to have an aneurysm if I don’t clean up.”

“Damn princesses.”

Outside of Ponyville Luna was flying to Canterlot as fast as her wings could carry. The look on her face resembled an emotion that she had not felt for a long time ago. That emotion was fear.

“What… what was my sister thinking having such a creature live in ponyville? That thing should be in the deepest darkest pits of Tartarus.” Her sole goal was to head towards that castle and tell no beg for Celestia to imprison David after entering his mind and seeing the images and thoughts of David’s consciences.

Chapter 10 – A fight to remember or forget

I woke up a bit early due to Applejack constantly waking me up in the early morning when I was working at her farm. When I checked on my left side, Twilight was again from last time cuddling up next to me again. I sigh knowing that this is going to take a while for me to get out of her vice like grip.

10 minutes later…

Finally I got out. I thought to myself, finally free from Twilights clutches. I look back at my “body double”; the pillow.

"Sorry again." I thought an apology to the pillow.

I head to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I went inside, I completely forgot that it was back at the farm when Twilight made work there. So I head back in Twilights room and grabbed my clothes from last night. Once I gotten my shoes ready, I opened the door and ran to the farm so I can not only get my payment but also my toothbrush.

20 minutes later…

When I finally made it to the farm I can already smell the breakfast from the other side of the door. I knock on their door and was ready for Applejack to be impressed. The door opens and I see Applejack a bit surprised about my presence.

“David? Why are you here and shouldn’t you be back at Twilights recovering from last night’s incident?”

“Actually I’m all better.” Yes I can hear again. I don’t know how but somehow I got my hearing back without their medicine.

“Wait you can hear again?” Applejack questioned.

“I know right. I thought for sure I was going to be deaf after last night but this morning I can hear 100% clearly.” I got to say I was happy but also curious as to how it came to be, but now is not the time to question it.

I go inside the building and started bruising my teeth. I look in the mirror and my black eye was finally gone. I’m actually glad that throughout the entire week I haven’t looked like I got beaten up even if I did broke two of my fingers.

Maybe it was the meds that were kept me from looking like shit. Once I was done with brushing, I told Applejack that Twilight needed me to clean up the mess that Spike and I made. I also told her that another reason why I came was because I came to collect the bits I worked on her farm. I guess she must have thought that the explosion might have made me forget.

“Sorry it’s going to take more than an explosion to give me brain damage.” I left the farm once I got my bits.
About half away from the farm to the town, I suddenly realized something.

“Why should I clean the mess? Spike messed up the experiment, why should I clean up for someone’s mistake?” I questioned myself. I then looked back to the farm. If I go back, Applejacks going to make me work on her farm again. If I go back to the town, Twilights going to make me fix the lab for something that wasn’t my fault.
…
….

“Screw that I’m hiding out.” I kept walking to the town but when I got to the bridge crossing Ponyvillle, I just went around the river to get to the hill that I spawn from. No way I was going to do anything so as of now this is my alone time and there is no way anyone’s going to ruin it. Once I got to the tree, I laid there and just drifted off to sleep.

ZZzzzz….

ZZZzzzzzzz…

Something was blocking the ray from the sun. Whoever it was, there doing something right.

“Hey wake up.” Whatever said that, poke my stomach hard almost felt like someone punched me. When I woke up it was the Rainbow one.

“Hey Barfy how’s it going?” I laughed at the reminder that she threw up at that party. Good stuff. She was not happy about what I called her, look like she was about ready to just punch me.

“Listen Twilight sent me to find you. She said she was worried that you were away for too long.” She told me.

“Well you found me skittles. So tell her I’m here if she needs me.” I told her without a care in the world.

“By then we’ll just find another hiding spot.”

“That’s what you think.” After she said that, she bites down my shirt collar with her teeth and just drags me to Twilights house.

“Not again.” I complained.

It wasn’t easy trying to find my balance but I was able to get my shirt and hoodie off so that she can stop dragging me. She then flew a bit farther now that my body wasn't attached to my clothes. When she turned around, she saw me just leaning on the tree again.

“Look can we just forget about this and call it a day. I’ll go back once I know the lab in Twilights home is done.” Dash looks super pissed when she knew that I wasn’t going anywhere. But for whatever reason she hasn’t lost her cool.

“Look I promised Twilight I bring you back and I also promised her that I should try to be friends with you.” She said through gritted teeth.

“Well then your screwed.” I told her while I stood up.

“I’m not going anywhere…” I then went closer to her face to face considering she was flying at my level. “And why would I be friends with the likes of you…?”

What I said next was probably not the best idea at the time.

“Rainbow Trash.” I then boped her nose as I finished my sentence. It’s like what I said, why should I have friends in the first place.

I then walked back to the tree to continue my nap.

" Duck! "
“What?”
"DUCK DAMN IT!"

I did what the voice said and as soon as I did a huge rock went pass me and hit the tree. I turned around but Rainbow Dash wasn’t there. I looked around me to see if I can find her but she wasn’t anywhere to be…

"Dodge left, right duck and block!"

I did what Jack told me to do and when I did, something was zooming pass me when I was dodging whatever was attacking me. That is until when I cross my arms to block, Rainbow dash kicked dead center of my arms with unimaginable speed and strength. I wasn’t just scared about what’s going to happen to me but how I was able to dodge her attacks. However when I blocked her attack, I felt a bone or two cracked.

“Gahh Shit!” I wailed in pain.

“Jesus if she had actually hit me from the beginning I wouldn’t be conscious.” I thought to myself.

"I can’t concentrate about my pain right now I have to be worried about when her next plan is."

I asked Jack if he can find where she was.

"What do you think I am? A radar?"
“Then how did you know when she was going to attack?”
"Shit if I know. I just… DUCK! " He warned me before he can finish his sentence.

I did what he said and then felt a gust of wind go pass me. Eventually Jack kept warning me on how to dodge Rainbows attack. I knew that in some point I can’t keep dodging forever that is until he told me to block.

But I can’t! My arms must’ve broken the last time she hit me.
"Just do it!"

I didn’t want to believe myself or what Jack says but his warnings got me this far so why not. I cup my hands in front of me to block. When I blocked the attack, my foot left a skid mark on the ground but I was able to stop Rainbow from kicking me.

“What the actually hell?!” I jumped back so I can put much distance away from this freak.

“I’ve had just about enough about you. I don’t’ see why Twilight or Applejack or anypony for that matter, shouldn’t have run you out of ponyville!” Rainbow yelled at me. She kept going on and on that from the moment I came to ponyville I’ve been acting like a lunatic. From being the happiest guy from pinkies party, from harming one of her friends to just being unpleasant. You know what if she’s going to be a bitch about this I might as well tell her how I feel about her and this place.

“I don’t care if you hate. I wouldn’t be surprised if you did try to hit me. But you know what? I hate you too!Everything about you just rubs me the wrong way!” I complained. I then kept ranting on about how ponyville was the worst place to live and that her friends are the weirdest bunch I’ve ever come to known.

“And you want to know something else? Pinkies parties are stupid and retarded!” I then finished my rant.
Rainbow held her head low almost as if I struck a nerve.

“Take. It. Back.” I heard her say with no emotion from those three words.

“Make. Me.” I responded.

Shit. Umm… right, duck, block… I don’t know from this point. You’re on your own.
"What?!"

As if I pissed off some God, I did what Jack told me but after that I kept getting randomly hits from seemingly out of nowhere. Every time some gust of wind told me that I was lucky to move but then later on whenever I got hit, I felt as if someone fired a bullet from the part of my body that was taking the punishment.

Then she hit my chest and pushed me back onto the tree. My chest felt as if I lost all the air that was there from the beginning. I didn’t think Dash was this strong and fast from the beginning, shit now I really was in trouble.

"David run! I can only keep you alive from this point forward but if you don’t find Twilight and fast then there’s no telling what Dash is going to do." Axel told me.
"Wait how are you keeping me alive?"
"Long story short, that green stone from Twilights? Yeah it gave us powers."
"What?!"

Before long I panic and I side stepped from the left. For a brief moment I saw Dash nearly break the surface of the tree. I think it safe to assume that I should go back to Twilights.

“Shit!” I ran down the hill as fast as my legs can carry but that only meant that Rainbow can have an easy target when she’s flying. I was scared without a doubt in my mind because I never run from a fight. However this is a good reason to run because I didn’t want to die especially young.

“Shit,shitshitshitshit…” I then felt something hit my back which made me fall to the ground and roll down the hill. Once the world stopped spinning, I rolled to my right. As soon as I did, something landed on that area which debris flew on my way. When the dust settled in the small crater was Dash.

"You know what? Screw this! If I’m going to die, I’m going out like a boss."
"David what are you…"

I didn’t give a thought as to how I was able to defeat Dash all I knew was I couldn’t run from this fight. I ran to her direction and was ready to punt the little shit. I kicked only the dirt only to realize she dodged it. I lost balance but regained it a little. I looked around me to see if she was anywhere since she just disappeared.

Out of nowhere, Jack came back. "Duck!"
"Perfect."

I jumped and as soon as I did Dash tackled my stomach with the force of what felt like a cannonball. I then proceed to punch Dash on whatever I was hitting regardless of the pain that was going through my body. I then heard something crack when I hit her one last time and then we both started tumbling to the ground hard. While I was trying to get up, I heard Dash howling in pain.

“Celestia Dammit my wings.”

"I must have broken her wings when she was tacking me." I thought to myself. Good now she won’t keep disappearing to the sky or have the speed advantage.

“Ha! So much for hit and running, now I can take you on fair ground.” I then ran to her and was ready to kick her again. Like last time, she dodged it but she counter by side kicking my open leg, which made me fall back. Dash came on top of me then punches me multiple times on my face but I was able to get her off of me considering how small and light she was. But still for a pony so small she can punch well.

I spat out the blood that was filling my mouth. When I did I saw a tooth fall too. Now this was something I was going to enjoy.

“You know I thought this was going to be bad day for me but now…” I swipe the blood off my mouth. “This is going to be a lot fun then I thought.”
“You’re going down.” She said without even panting even though the pain.
“But can you keep up with me?” I said while cracking my hands ready to take her on.
“That’s my line.” She said angerly.
“Looks like your too slow for comebacks, barfy.” I insulted.

She ran towards me so I ran towards her ready to end this.
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” we both screamed out our battle cry.

30 minutes later…

“Where’s Rainbow? She should have found him by now.” Twilight was worried along with Applejack, Pinkie, Rarity, and Fluttershy. Not too long before, Twilight was waiting for Dash to come back to her library along with David in tow. However two minutes ago, Pinkie along with the others were behind her outside Twilights door.

“Pinkie have you seen…” Before Twilight can finish her sentence Pinkie grabbed Twilight by the hoof and told her there was no time.

“Pinkie what’s going on?” Twilight question a bit confuse as to why Pinkie was acting more strange than usual. That is until Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity all told her that one of Pinkie’s ‘pinkie sense’ was a doozy. Once Twilight heard about this, she understood why Pinkie was acting weird. Not too far ahead, all five of them crossed the bridge and were trying to catch up to Pinkie.

Ahead of them, they found out why Dash and David were gone. Right in front of them, they saw both David and Dash all beaten and bloodied almost as if they were fighting off a pack of timber wolves.

David was kneeling down, trying to keep not just his balance but also his conscious due to blood coming from behind his head. Around David’s body there were a couple of bruises and bite marks. Dash was worse for wear too due to one of her wings twisted in manner that no Pegasus wing should be bent. It wasn’t just her wings; she had a black eye on her right, there were also a few bruised spots that around her sides and there was also a bloody nose. Needless to say, they were surprised as to how these two were still standing for whatever they were fighting about.

Before long, David stood with what little strength he had left and started running toward Dash while holding his sides. Before any of them could intervene, David was able to finish the fight by punting Dash to the tree. With colliding to the tree, Dash closed her eyes knowing that she was spent and she gave it her all but it wasn’t enough.

“Heh you’re going to have to try better than that to kill me.” He whispered. After he had finished he fell back knowing that all it took for him to fall into the unconscious mindscape was to put that one kick to end it.

David’s POV...

Darkness. That’s basically what I see around me. I don’t know how long I’ve been unconscious but I want to say a week, I think. For the majority of my time I have done nothing but float around in this place. I tired making dreams but it only ends with me having to go through memories of my past. I already saw myself getting my ass kick by Jason three to five times.

"Man the only reason he keeps turning my punches around was because he took karate lessons." The thought echoed into the nothingness.

“Damn for a pony, she’s actually not that bad.” I talked to myself.

"She must have taken karate, possibly a black belt." I thought due to remembering that the last few times I tried fighting Jason he was a black belt at the time. And each time I lost to him over and over again.

“Hmmm?” I looked around and saw the darkness turning light again. “Great I’m remembering something.”
Before long, around me was the same place Dash and I fought. I see myself looking Dash at her from a far distance with all the bruises I got from her.

“Well at least I remember the good part of the fight.” However something was off. Usually this was the part where I fainted due to blood loss. But this memory is still going.

“Now I can end this.” My memory-self said then kneeled down and pulled my pant legs to reveal… the knife.

“Wait this isn’t right. Sure Dash is annoying but not enough to kill to that extent.” That’s when my memory –self limped closer to her direction.

“Stop.” That was all I can say to the memory only for it to continue towards her. What frighten me the most was when I floated to my memory-self, I saw the face and it had; a wicked smile across its face.

“Hey stop this isn’t funny anymore. She’s done for so just stop it already.” I talked to the memory thinking it might…
“Why stop? She reminds me way too much like HIM.” That memory…no… that thing answered back. Before long he was looking down on Dash twirling the knife.

“Stop it right now!” I tried tackling him but only for me to move through him. Before long, he held the knife up ready to end it.

"DIE!" He yelled.

“NOOO!!!”

I opened my eyes wide looking around me rapidly. Around me was a something that reminded me of a hospital. The walls were blue, there was a large window that looked over a fountain and lastly where was the beeping sound coming from?

I looked on my left side and as it turns out there was a heart monitor and an IV tube connecting to my wrist. I notice that my left eye was covered when I saw the heart monitor screen. I looked down and saw that I was wearing just boxers the rest of me was covered like a mummy. Before I can head to the bathroom to see, a pony with a nurse cap.

“Oh my your awake.” She said. You know I’ve started to notice the fact this place has a few too many female to male ratio in this village. Seriously other than the kids from the arcade, the only male stallions I’ve seen was Big Mac and a few others that were with other mares which I thought were in a relationship. But I won’t bother with that.

“So what’s happening?” I asked with a slight chuckle.

Apparently she told me everything from the beginning that Twilight and her other friends dragged me and Dash to the hospital to save us from bleeding out. Dash had a few injuries’ that needed covering but for me, I needed surgery due to one of my ribs having a broken bone nearly rapturing my insides.

“Well that doesn’t sound too bad. That’s what ribcages are for; nothing special. ” I then ask her if she can help open the bandage that was wrapped on my left eye. She didn’t want to due to how badly injured before but after a few convincing agreements, she agreed to unwrap only the left.

When she did she gasped making me worried. Did Dash really mess up my face that badly?

“Your eye it’s fully healed.” Once she said that, I remembered Axel telling me that Green stone gave me powers. Who’s to say that one power was healing?

I swiped the scissors the nurse used and ran for the bathroom. Once inside, I barricaded the door and was ready to cut away. After I have gotten all the bandages gone, I looked in the mirror and saw that I looked ok. While there were a few light darkened bruises here and there, they don’t hurt as much as they should. The bite marks were gone, my lost rib it somehow was there, and lastly the tooth dash broke it grew back as well.

"Thank you Axel." But when I thank him there was no response. In fact Jack wasn’t saying anything. Are they finally gone? Whatever I think I should just get out of here and just head back to Twilights.

I opened the door and saw that a male pony with a white coat was a doctor and the nurse was beside him.

“So can I leave or what?” I asked. Like all hospitals I had to be dragged out in a wheel chair. I asked how much the surgery was going to cost me, but they said that Twilight was paying my medical bills and that she helped filled out the paperwork with the data she got from me the other day. I asked the doctor how long did Dash and I stay in this hospital and he replied with 3 days. Needless to say that I was surprised but am I’m glad things worked out. Once I got to the front desk I sign my release forms and left.

I kind of feel bad for Dash I mean sure this place is annoyingly colorful and cheery but aside from that this place isn’t half bad. Great my sins have finally caught up to me and now their weighing me down.

“God damn it.” I walked to the Market to see if I can buy some flowers for Dash back at the hospital. I may be a cold hearted person but somehow for these ponies I feel as though if I did wrong one of them, then it leaves a bad taste in me. So I ran to the market district and when I got to a vendor that sold flowers, I picked the ones that felt right to buy. However when I dug to my pockets I have no bits. That’s when I realized something.

“GOD DAMMIT! I forgot hospitals take your stuff for safety measures.” I apologies to the vendor for wasting her time on me.

“Wait.” The vendor asked me. I turn around to see her.

“Who were you buying these flowers for?” She asked. I told her it was for Dash and she walk up to me with the flowers. She said that she’s been meaning to send these to her when she heard Dash was hurt. I took the flowers and thanked her but I didn’t know her name.

“Oh and by the way it’s Rose if you’re wondering. Tell her it was from me.” I thanked her for the gift and that I’ll come back to pay her back. I walked back to the hospital to drop off the gift but when I got inside all five including Twilight were at the front desk. They were surprised I was still standing after the beat down from Dash.

They all gather around and asked me how I was still standing. Their voices were colliding with their questions so much I could barely hear them. I told them I’ll answer them all later right after I get my stuff and give the flowers to Dash. I gave them to a nurse who knew where Dash’s room and ask the front desk if they can give back my stuff.

“215 bits was what you were carrying when you came in…”

I nodded but when I looked back, AJ was looking at me knowing that she paid me far less then what I got.

“Oh no…” I can feel my sins crawling on my back. But I’ll deal with them later.

“And two articles of clothing…” I think he was talking about my t-shirt and red hoodie. Oh man Dash ruined it. There was a hole in between the collar and the front t shirt. Well I guess I can wear the hoodie as a shirt but it’s going to suck.

“And lastly one knife.” Now that, I really do miss. Not because it’s sweet but if I lost it, grandpa would want my head on a pike if I lost it. Once I got all my items back, I turn around and told Twilight I’m heading to the coffee shop in the market district. However she wasn’t looking at me but at my pocket that was concealing the knife. Great.

“You’re probably thinking why I have it. Well it’s cool to my standards…” I answered. She still looks at my pockets.

“And also if I did wanted to us it during my fight with Dash…” before I could answer, I spoke with no with motion.

“she would be dead right where she stood.” All the girls just looked at me with frighten looks in there face.

“Heh just kidding I wouldn’t actually do that. Plus this is just for showing off.” They finally loosen their breaths.

“Whelp I’m heading off. Hey Twilight do you want anything from the market? I’m buying.” Twilight did wanted something, so I made a reminder of the list she told me. Once I was at the door, I stopped and looked back.

“Don’t worry; I’ll answer whatever you girls ask. And this time honestly I promised.” This time I meant it. If I didn’t tell them, I lose their trust and then I have nowhere to live. I really do need to work for it, if I don’t, than one wrong move could end my life.

End of chapter 10
