The Adventures of Emanon Reynawhe Season 1

__________________________

I - School

__________________________

       Emanon did well in school, as he always had, but now most of it was downright boring. In Equestria, he learned all he could about math, and science was so much more interesting there.

       History was the only subject that was challenging enough, although it was hard relearning human events that were considered elementary.

       The only courses he had real interest in were electives, like computer science and robotics, which were virtually unknown in Equestria.

       Although his friends weren't in every class of his, he saw them often, especially in required courses. They were all in the same grade.

       The only problem at school were the people who knew him both before and after the transformation; they noticed a change, too. His other friends and acquaintances were confused. "Miles" was the same, but somehow different. He laughed less at their jokes, and he just seemed more serious than before.

       His teachers liked the new change. He was more mature, more dependable. If all kids were like that at the school, their job would be much easier.

       But it was the small things that led some to believe that he was hiding a secret. Nobody ever saw him on the buses. He never missed class no matter how long he was delayed, and on a completely unrelated note, he used a quill. Seriously, who does that?

       Maybe that last one wasn't important. But the point is, some believed he had a secret, and they were determined to find out what it was.

       Nobody expected it to be remotely important. But in high school, everything insignificant seems like the most important thing ever.

II - Secrets Revealed

__________________________

       One fateful day, at the cafeteria, one of his friends named Luke decided to speak up.

       "Okay, what's going on with you?"

       "What do you mean?"

       "Well, since the end of last year, you've been acting a bit weird...and I've seen...other things."

       "Like what?"

       "I've seen you come from doors that I know for a fact are locked. And when you think no one is looking, you seem to use the Force."

       "What? Oh, that's what you mean."

       "Frankly, what happened to you?"

       "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."

       "Try me."

       "All right, but I still won't tell you."

       "But--"

       "I'll show you. But not here in front of everyone."

       "I suppose. But what if I told someone else?"

       "Trust me, no one would believe you. But bring the rest of our friends. I don't want to have to do this more than once. I'm sure you're not alone in your curiosity."

III - Discovery

__________________________

       They all agreed to meet in an unused classroom after school. Luke was the first to speak.

       "So what is this all about? What's the deal?"

       "This."

       Emanon transformed, or rather, dropped his simulated disguise. All conversation ceased. His five best friends were there, and they, of course looked unsurprised, but all of the others were in shock.

       "What the --"

       "How...?"

       "I don't know why or how, but on April 7th this year, I became a pony. A unicorn, as you can see."

       He then proceeded to tell them his story, how he was transported into Equestria and how he struggled to get back. He had no trouble with keeping them quiet. They were in too much shock.

       As he was coming to a close, and people seemed to be accepting both him and his story, disaster struck. They heard voices out in the hall.

       "You need a room for the chess club? This one should be available."

       The principal walked in with Emanon's trigonometry teacher. They froze, taking in the scene. Emanon's teacher, Mr. Grant, started pinching himself. This must be a dream. The principal stared disbelieving at Emanon, then started smiling.

       "Well this is unusual."

       Mr. Grant backed slowly away from the room.

IV - Containment Protocol

__________________________

       Emanon couldn't believe his luck. The strictest principal in the world was a brony. That just seemed so weird.

       After the ordeal, he gave a suggestion to Emanon. Unless there was someone visiting the school, he should drop the disguise. It just would make things worse. No one would tell anyone else. The story was just too unbelievable.

       Emanon walked around the school now as a pony, feeling very strange. Why had a group of people so resistant to small changes so accepting of a large one?

       Maybe they were just in shock. Fear and anger would come later.

       As time went on, nothing seemed to change. Sure, people stopped avoiding talking to him or looking at him, but nobody actually hated him. Why?

       The school staff agreed to make sure all the legal documents showed no anomalies. They did not want the government investigating into the matter too closely. They could do almost anything for "national security".

       The students over time got used to him, but it took months for them to get used to magic. Emanon made sure that he did it as least as possible, but it was almost impossible for him to write without telekinesis. Sure, other ponies used hooves, but he had never learned how to write with them legibly.

       As soon as he was in the public eye, however, he changed back into human form. For example, when a visitor came to the school, he was alerted.

       Emanon was entirely relieved. He could relax now. He hadn't realized just how much a secret could take out of you.

       Plus, he had an idea. A crazy idea. That could totally backfire horribly. Perfect.
