"Come on, come on, come on!" I said as I tried to get my car to start.

My name is Franz Schmidt, I'm 26 years old, I'm a historical weapons enthusiast and a brony, I'm also pretty good on the piano. I currently work at a military museum that's built a few miles down the street, we have weapons and vehicles varying from the civil war era to the end of the Vietnam War.

I'm six feet and two inches tall, I have Dark brown almost black hair and hazel nut eyes.

I live in Houston Texas, I moved here sixteen years ago from my home in Munich Germany,

I've always had a love for old things, and I own a lot of old weapons and vehicles, my car for example is a world war 2 era 'Horch 108 typ 40 KFZ. 18'

I, sold all my less interesting stuff to the museum, but kept my favorite items.

Anyways, right now I'm going to Comic con. I've gone for the last two years, the first year I went as a german soldier from Call of duty: World at war, last year I went as B.J Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein, this year I decided to change it up.

Recently becoming a brony I decided to go as a my little pony character or rather a EQG one, I would've done an anthro one but I couldn't get the costume to look right so I went with the equestria girls look, at first I had trouble figuring out who to go as but I remembered the episode where maud came to visit, I also remembered all the maud World War One Pics I've seen online, and being the history enthusiast I am, I decided to go as World War One maud.

Speaking of which I'm wearing it right now, for my costume i'm wearing a grayish-purple jumpsuit that covers me from the neck down, it also covered most of my head except for my face, I used makeup to make my face grayish-purple to match the suit and to get the same looks as her in the show, I didn't bother with doing any hair since the top of my head is mostly covered by a helmet, speaking of which, to go with my costume I'm wearing a uniform which consist of a helmet, which I sadly didn't have a World War One German spike helmet so I had to make do with a world war two German Stahlhelm, I'm also wearing a long Khaki-ish-green German World War One trench coat which I personally thought looked cool and a pair of pants that were the same color, and a pair of black leather boots.

To complete my costume I also had a German MP-28 machine gun, it's one of the few original one's still around and actually saw service during World War One by my grand father, it sadly is in rough shape mechanically and is no wheres near firing condition, but it still looked cool, it has belonged to my family since the end of World War One, which sort of made me feel guilty about using it in this way, but hey it's not like it's going to do anything else but sit on a shelf collecting dust, I'm also wearing a holster carrying a 20-round Mauser-C96 which was also an original one but that I actually bought, along with a leg sheath carrying a bayonet (which I made sure was dull so that I hopefully wouldn't be arrested).

Now, you might be thinking, 'why dress up as a female character if you're a guy?' or 'why maud? couldn't you just go as another character in a uniform?'. Well to answer the first question, I don't give a fuck about gender, to answer the second one I kind of just like her character, I like her expressionless personality and monotone voice, and despite her simple look, she looks kinda cute, ahem not like I have any feelings for her of course but still.

Anyways, so yeah going to a convention cosplaying as kaiser maud, what could go wrong?.....

My car finally started up after a couple try's and I made my way down the road, open the roof up since I was hot as hell wearing the trench coat in the middle of the day in Texas.

I checked the digital clock I had duck-taped to the dash board to see it was 12:36.

"Scheisse, I'm late, damn alarm clock never wakes me up when I actually wan't it to..." I grumbled while driving.

I got there after about twenty minutes and literally hopped out of my car locked it and made my way to the convention centers entrance.

I got a couple of stares but ignored them, if they don't like my little pony or germans thats their problem.

After going through a (surprisingly) short line (and a bit of bribing, what? I'm rich! How else do you think i bought all the guns and vehicles I have?) I finally made my way into the comic convention see ing cosplayers and booths, I admitted it wasn't as big as the last two I've been too but it was still huge! i spent around two hours walking meeting other bronys, listening to different booth owners talk about items there selling, and just plain out having a good time, when it was time for the convention to start closing I started to make my way to the door when I saw a particular booth that caught my eye, it sold a variety of things, ranging from masks, to plastic weapons, to clothing, and pretty much anything, the owner was dressed as the merchant from resident evil,one particular item that caught my eye was what looked like a german Stielhandgranate

"Hello there!" said the owner.

"Hello." I replied.

"I see you've noticed the grenade prop I have there, care to buy it?" He said

"Hmmm.... Yeah, how much for it?" I asked.

"Let's see the conventions closing so I think I'll give you a discount, hows twenty bucks sound?" Asked the merchant.

"Sure I'll take it!" I said enthusiastically.

I pulled my wallet out from one of my trench coat pockets and dug out a twenty dollar bill and gave it to him and then he handed me the prop.

As i made my way to the exit i started feeling a bit drowsy, i saw a light come from somewhere near the ground and when i looked i saw it was coming from the grenade, except now the grenade had a strange symbol on it that closely resembled the alicorn amulet except the wings were styled like that of the Nazi eagle from World War 2 and it was holding what look like celesta's cutie mark. What the hell?! What did that guy sell me?! Thats when a thought came to me, i've read a lot of displaced story's online and this is exactly as they go, sort of, wen't to a convention cosplaying as something, Check, bought something from a merchant selling something that i thought was interesting, check, falling unconscious, Che- wait, fuuuuccckk, then my vision went blank.

Author's Note
