Chapters First days of High school
it all starts somewhere...
My name is Rolling Thunder and I am a Pegasus. However I wasn't always this way my name was Ryan Anderson I will now tell you the story of how I got to equestria. it all started with middle school...
...Middleburg Fl...
Only my POV in the story
It was just another day in my rarely exiting lifestyle I woke up eat breakfast and got dressed. (but this is not what you came here for) This was just a week until high schools started. I was ready for high school like you wouldn't believe I told myself everyday 'just 4 lousy years then your free'. Well that first year was all but lousy. I had done all that I usually done and went to the bus from there I met up with my friend Emily we had known each other since I moved here.
When we got to school there was a extremely familiar sight. There were some kids picking on a shorter kid that I hadn't seen beforehand. So naturally one would stand up but lousy old me just watched in sadness at my own. Then something happened that would define me for the rest of the year, Emily went up to the older guys and said "that's enough". Well to be expected the 2 bullies looked down at her with an evil smile. Emily ran and his behind me and said "please?". To this the bullies looked at me and poped their knuckles then said "or what? ,your boyfriend gonna beat me up"
...The nurses office...
For the sake of my dignity let's say I did but then again I don't think ending up in the nurses office with a bloddy nose says 'I won'.
The only thing that I didn't see coming was the smaller girl that 'we' stood up for along with Emily sitting on a bench looking at me.
"So... did I win?"...
"..."
(Sighs) "guess not"
"So what is your name ?"
"Its ...". I didn't hear her so I asked again.
"What was that" all I got was a light squeak in response
"Please speak up I won't hurt you, after all I did just get a bloody nose trying to help you"
She sigh then scrunched here eyes and said rather quickly, " my name is fluttershy and I wanted to thank you for helping me back there"
When she open her eyes she was greeted with 2 warm smiles "Hi fluttershy I am Emily and this is my good friend Ryan Anderson" Emily had said this nicely as if she practiced it before.
"He-hello Emily and Ryan I-i would like you to meet my friends so they know what happened and they could meet you because you to are nice people... would you like to meet them?..."
"Of course we would..."
RRRRRRRRRRRINGGG
"or we could go to class"
"Oh no the principal said that you could take the day off as long as you are still here at school" Fluttershy said. "So then let's go meet your friends" I said with a smile. Fluttershy introduced us only to Angel (the bunny) before I was tackled by a girl with rainbow colored hair and a mean look on her face. "Who are you and what are you doing with fluttershy cause if you a bully them I'm gonna beat you into next week are we clear??"
I had no time to react when I was knocked out by an orange tanned fist...
First days of High school
... The nurses office (again)...
When I came around to waking up I heard fluttershy Emily the girl who tackled me and 4 other voices arguing amongst one another. I got out of bed and whistled loudly thus startling all of them I said "What in the hell is going on?" (This then accrued to me that what I did wasn't a good idea) They all simply stared at me till Emily told me what happened after I was knocked out by what I was then told was applejack. {one long explanation later}"well I'm real sorry fur knokin' you out sugarcube but I didn't know who ya were" applejack said. "Well its OK the two bullies from earlier kinda numed out my nose already... by the way is it bleeding again?" the girl that tackled me introduced herself as rainbow dash and started to say the fastest flier in eque but by then she was elbowed DEEPLY in the ribs. So after all the introduction's it was my turn. "Hello all of you I am Ryan Joseph Anderson I am almost part of the soccer team and the academic team and I am Emily's best friend, its nice to meet all of you" "nice to meet you to" all of them said in perfect unison. My stomach grumbled and the energetic one (pinkie I was told) smartly suggested lunch. To which we all agreed except the 'stylish one' (rarity) she had to go to drama class.
... The lunch room ...
As we became friends the two bullies from before walked up to me and smashed my face into my food. (thankfully I hit the potatoes and not the fork) Rainbow quickly stood up and said bravely "go pick on someone your own size." The smart one (twilight) then said with a smirk, " or go to the preschool across the street to pick one someone with the same intelligence level." The bullies thought this over as the surrounding students 'ohhed' and laughed at the now mocked 'bullies'. I stood up wiped my face off and said , " this is for my nose" and then kicked the closest bully (who happened to be a guy) in his 'area'. I was held back and so was the other bully from tearing at each others throuhts. Rainbow dash grinned at me and twilight frowned at me from my left. And that is when the moment that I said before (about being defined for the rest of the year) happened the vice principal ,Luna, walked into the room. I was emediatly dropped and so was the other bully. I had heard that if you ever got on her bad side that the gateway to hell would open underneath you. But that paled in comparison "WHAT IN THE NAME OF GOD IS GOING ON HERE????" (she is a Christan so if she says god then you are basically dead... twice) thankfully my new friends stuck up for me and explains EVERYTHING pinkie even went into detail about the sound of the whistle I made. While no one was on the bullies side (at least the one standing) she believed me and I put a mental note to remember what happened here for the rest of my days. They even said rainbow did it to which I again whistled loudly to get attention. I told the principal what really happened and that the only thing rainbow did wrong was tackle me in fear for her friend. Well I surprisingly didn't get in trouble but I was confused at why Emily and I were outside of principal Celestia's office. After Luna came to the cafeteria and we all explained the other five girls went to principal Celestia for 'guidance'. By now I learned not to question things like this. After about an hour we were called in.
"Hello Emily and Ryan I assume you know who I am along with these girls, correct?" (Celestia was saying this rather... slowly) "Yes we do , is there a problem?" Emily responded. "On no not at all the girls explained everything. Still I want you and your friend Emily to spend some time with your other friends while I talk a bit more to the girls." (Again Celestia said this slowly.) "Umm we can't." I said. "why can't you?." Celestia was starting to get angry. "Well you see these girls are our only friends besides each other" Again emily sounded sad the girls were shocked all but pinkie whose smile grew even bigger. "Canweshowthempleasepleasepleasepleasepleas??" She squealed
I was confused at what pinkie said all I heard was we and a lot of please. Twilight looked at me with curiosity and wonder. "Well no... (The girls frowned) ...not yet" now Celestia was confusing me. Rainbow then simply said "why not?." Celestia continued "don't you have a tryout with the soccer team and the academic team Ryan?" "Isn't that a few days from now?" "Yes but their is a special tryout tomarrow" That was the first time i waw proud in to long of a time,and then she smiled NO ONE at this school had EVER see her smile. But there is a first time for everything...
First days of High school
The next day
...Soccer field...
(Only rainbow dash and I are here)
"Well Ryan were are you trying out?" Dash asked.
"Hmm well I am an awesome goalie" I was standing in line waiting to tryout.
"So no offence?" Dash looked saddened.
"Hmm well we have time and I don't see why not" I was deep in thought.
"OK let's go get over here my name is roxwell but to you I am simply coach got it?" Apparently the coach was here. "Hey dash what are you doing here your already on the team" "well I thought it would bee awesome to show my friend Ryan here how its done" let's just assume that she said that with an ego behind it. "who is Ryan?"said coach. "I'm Ryan Anderson and I'm trying out for goalie and offence" "so Ryan you think you have what it takes?" I was about to say I don't know but then I saw Dash's smile I said with pride "yes I do" "good because without ambition you can't make the team. OK LETS START SINCE RAINBOW IS HERE SHE WILL TAKE PLACE AS THE OFFENCE COACH GOT IT??" we all replied "YES SIR"
"Hey Ryan"
"Yeah?"
"Go nail that tryout"
"To me I already have ,but I was thinking if your on the offence then your the new player for the team and no one has ever gotten on the team in their freshman year"
"Well then their is about to be two freshman on the team right?"
"Right I'll be back for my tryout later OK?"
"OK"
(1 hour later)
"All of you senior's lost to a freshman AGAIN you all should be ashamed of yourselves... except you Ryan keep up the good work and you will get the finally tryout that no one has finished."
"Thanks coach"
"Ryan hey I heard the good news you gonna be a goalie this team might be even better than the wonderbugg" Emily was tackled by an overly exited rainbow dash " that was AWESOME!!" I swear if she had been any louder the state of N.C. would have heard her. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry Emily I didn't see you there"
"Its okay its just my bat"
"??? What why do you have a bat in you bag?"
"Dash its not that Kind of bat it is the one for baseball. And besides sports are one of the only things that we disagree on."
"Oh ok sorry I forgot that you liked baseball"
"Its ok dash"
"So I made the team and I am almost official goalie!"
"Awesome Ryan good job"
Dash was silent and for good reason..
"Um Ryan did you get the special tryout?"
"Yeah why?"
"Oh no this is bad"
"What is the problem dash?"
(Sighs) " the problem is that I have to preform a special kick that you have to block and if you don't your stuck as back up goalie till next year"
"..." Emily and I were dead silent
"It is just one kick ... right?"
"Yes but it is my signature kick and it does not stop easily" "don't worry dash I can do this ok ?" This brought her emotions back up as she said a wimpy "ok" "but get ready cause your my friend so I'm not going easy in you got it?"
I nodded "good it is to marrow bit don't stress it if your ment to catch it you will"
We exchanged our good byes and headed home to rest for tomorrow.
... My home ...
"Mom Dad I'm home ... Mom Dad?"
I got worried because the lights weren't turning on and I heard heavy breathing coming from the kitchen...
"SURPRISE"
I almost died of shock seriously
I saw the girls my family and Emily gathered under a banner that said 'I knew you could do it Ryan !!'
"Wow all of this for me?"
"Yeah silly willy I threw you a party along with the rest of us"(obviously pinkie)
"Yeah I saw your amaz no SPECTACULAR stuff as goalie so we all pitched in and got you these"
Dash then proceeded to hold up the most awesome best and glorious cleats I had ever seen in my life. They were lime green with navy blue stitching on the bottom were centered gems that took the place of the grips. I only had one word "amazing"
"(Squeek) I just knew it I KNEW you would love these" "thank you so much rarity how did you find these?" "Oh Darling I didn't" "then who did?"
"No one did" "umm"
Pinkie then exploded with joy "YOU SILLY RARITY MADE THEM SPECIALLY FOR YOU!!!!!!" "Wow pinkie I think the Russians may have heard you"
Twilight remarked I jumped up from my chair and embraced rarity and kept saying 'thank you' faster than pinkie could after a bit I got off of here and kept ...bad thoughts out of my head and blushed "are you okey Ryan ?" I then realised my cheeks had metaphorically gone up in flames " oh yes I'm okey its just no one has done something for me as good as this before... thank you rarity"
"Oh it is the least I could do since I made special gloves for dear Emily". As if on cue Emily walked in wearing the most awesomely unexplainable baseball gloves 1 to catch and 1 to throw."How do you like my new 'wheels'?" "Hahah very funny... but they are awesome (smirks) but not as awesome as my cleats." "Oh my would you looks at the time sorry we have to go we planed to hang out tonight at pinkies house" (rarity) "Darn (gasps) I have an idea girls (pause for effect) you could all stay over here we have a spare room but if needed Emily and I can use my bunk bed and let you all stay in the other 2 rooms!"
"Good idea" (???) I wondered who that was and then a boy wearing purple shorts and a silver shirt walked out from behind twilight. "Hi my name is Spike I'm twilights little helpuu (again elbowed deeply in the ribs) brother" hey there spike you could stay in my room while the girls hang out in the other 2 ok?" Twilight nodded to him and he nodded to me "well I will see you tomorrow" we all said good night to each other Ill save you the time of that. Spike and I slept instantly.
First days of High school
Yet again ...nurses office...
(1 day later)
"Auugh wha-where am I ?"
(GASPS)"EVERYONE HE IS AWAKE"
"I am now"
"Dash were is dash"
"I'm here Ryan"
"Did I catch it?"
"See for yourself lover boy."
I looked down and there it was the soccer ball vibrating and made of rainbows ... and it was tightly in my arms.
I heard cheers all around the small room. (mostly echo's of cheer) Emily and all of my friends were there cheering even timid fluttershy was jumping for joy. "I need some sleep so goodnight"
... Dream ...
I saw a cyan pony looking at me smiling and she spoke "well Ryan it is just you and me ... I just wanted to say congrats on catching that soccer ball I have to leave now but I brought you something and proceeded to pull hot the soccer ball in all its glory. and then I woke up...
"Hey Ryan get up twilight is waiting for you... Ryan GET UUUUUUUUUP" I was whole violently awake "Spike wha- where- WHY DID YOU WAKE ME???" He stared at me blankly "umm ... The academic tryout is in 2 hours" "SPIKE why didn't you get me up earlier?" Again blankly "you okey?" "No I'm not I need to get to the library NOW"
Later
Okay that wraps up ou-
"WAIT FOR ME"
"augg who is it now?"
"It is I Ryan Anderson now gimme the test"
Even later
walking to the feild
"Wow Ryan i didn't know you were that smart Twi's got some serious competition ahead soo get rea- LOOK OUT RYAN"
... Awakening in the field ...
"Hey are you all right your shaking"
"Dash? How did I get out here?"
"Um you walked out with the spike and the football players nailed you in the temple with a football then i followed you here."
"Funny all I remember is a strange dream"
"You wanna tell me about it?"
"Sure thing ... (Re-read the ... Dream ... If needed)
"I did stay and I did say that but why is it strange?"
"Because in it you were a cyan pony with rainbow hair also a tattoo on your rear"
"..."
"Dash are you okay?"
"I... Umm..."
"Rainbow?"
"I ... I ...I (sighs heavily) let's go get the others tomarrow"
"Oh-ok"
... The next day in the empty girls locker room...
"Um you still haven't told me why we I am in the girls locker room"
"Ok rainbow what happened again?"
"He saw the same thing with me as spike and twilight"
"Our time is almost up girls come on keep it together"
"Um I'm standing right here you know"
" we should tell him"
"NO N-(twilight stopped and looked at me with the same wonder as 4 days before) not yet it is tomorrow one more day and then we tell him okay?"
"I guess I have to wait till tomorrow?"
"No"
"So you will tell me what is happening then?"
"We will show you tomorrow but we can tell you today"
"So... what is it?"
"..."
"Are you all ok?"
"..."
"Since it bothers you how about you just show me tomorrow ok?"
Dash was the only one to speak after this, "hey Ryan we are great friends right?"
"Yes ..."
"Do you trust me- I mean us" she gestured to the other 5 girls.
"Of course I do I would trust you six and Emily with my life if it came to it... why?"
"Ryan you are a good person and we... want to ask you if you wanted to go somewhere really far away,but we didn't fell right about asking"
"Oh OK I'll ask my parents" (2-3min. On cell phone) "OK I can go do I need to pack anything?"
"No you will be fine without"
That is when gym ended and girls came flooding in squealing.
First days of High school
and then equestria happened
... My home ...
As I walked in I wondered where we were going and when we were getting back. So I fell asleep and woke up in the morning with a headache. I looked for my floor and realized I was in my dreamscape still, but this was different yet familiar.... "Hurry he is waking" I sat up and out of my dream to see myself being carried quickly by my friends to the school it was 4:24 A . M .
...School...
I was about to scream when I fell off the 'stretcher' "oh no we are to late he is awake"
"Initiate plan 'B' !!"
"OK I'm so sorry to do this but"
"Whaa?"
I was smacked in the temple with a baseball bat.
And trust me that hurt ... A lot
...somewhere far away...
OWW. that is all I could think of
I lifted up my hand to be relived of something normal at yet the universe hates me so I was greeted by a hoof yes a hoof I uncovered my self to find something ... Odd. My 'arms' were covered in purple spots and so were my legs my body was now covered in fur and was a light shade of sea green. oh and I can't forget the wings they also where the same color. I found a mirror and tried to stand but quickly fell on my face with a loud 'THUMP'. I gave up on walking and army crawled to the mirror that worked a lot better than I thought it would. What I saw was beautiful, until I realized it was me. I panicked looked at my ... Stuff and was glad to know that I was still male.
I felt the sudden need to jump off a cliff ... for no reason. I heard somepony wait what? Someopny ??? My thoughts have started to use -pony instead of -one and -body ... strange oh well nothing I can't get used to. So anyway I heard somepony talking with another pony and I thought I heard Emily and dash...
I walked out of the room (somehow) and was shocked to see Emily and dash were there but Emily looked like a lime green pony and dash looked like the cyan one from my dream.
"Umm Dash??"
""Ryan glad to see your awake"
I fainted right then, go ahead laugh but I did.
"Oh no Emily you know what to do"... I woke up with an actual jolt looked around and said "Emily you look so much cooler as a umm what are we again?"
"Ponies"
"Oh um I ah I need some time to rest OK girls?"
"Ok"
"Ok bro."
"What was that?"
"I said ok bro."(dash)
"As in what?"
"As in brother"
"..."
"Don't worry in this world you and I are siblings"
"..."
"Don't feel bad I had the same reaction to applejack"(Emily)
"..."
"Um... Well I have some clouds to clear so I'll see you to around k?"(dash)
"... Ok dash see you later"
(Dash leaves)
"So Ryan are you gonna learn how to use your wings?"
"Of course"
"Good cause I don't wanna ever leave this place"
"Emily are you serious about that?"
"Pssh like heak I am"
"Guess what?
"What?"
"Ponies are herbivores"
"Oh shit" Emily is the best person to go to when you want to know where to get some good pork ribs sucks to be her. She relied a bit to much on meat. But I don't rely on meat sure I like pork and fish but I could live without it. Emily might have some troubles.
"I'm kidding some of them eat fish over at the griffin kingdom."
"And how door you know this?"
"Umm I asked on the way out of the bedroom encased in gold"
"Oh right there are guards"
"Yeah well I figured out where we are at"
"Where then?"
"We are in canterlot home to the sister princesses that rule unchallenged"
"Hey I got a horn for like magic"
"Ok and?"
"Twilight taught me how to change the color of something in case I came in as a weird color"
"Not following here"
"Well I have always wanted to know what you looked like when you were yellow"
"Umm what?"
"You'll see"
I was lifted off the grounds thrown back into my room and she came in as well horn glowing a faint green. The door slammed shut and locked I was terrified. She used the spell on me and I felt ... Odd
I looked at my self and I could have died right there if I wanted to I really could have but I didn't.
"Wow this feels ... great please change me back before I do something stupid and regrettable"
"Your no fun..."
She fixed my color and we both went out to find out what we were doing here in this questionable place. First I found spike looking up at me almost apologetic. "Hey um sorry I don't know what to call you anymore now that your a pony"
"Well that is an easy fix call me ..." My mind went blank and looking at hm I don't know what to call her now ... this is awkward. Her face told me that she was thinking the same thing as I was. Spike sadly said "See what I mean?"
"Yeah well I'll think of a name later spike see you later"
"OK see ya"
I slept throughout the day but strangly not the nightnight...
First days of High school
I awoke to a blackened sky and a shiny spear in my face. Well ,I thought,'this can't get any worse'.
Its a good thing I didnt say it but since the universe hates me a midnight blue colored pony came out of the shadows and knocked me right out.
... The ever free forest ...
"Sub he is waking"
"So knock him out again we don't know if we can keep him here yet"
"Right"
Obviously I got knocked out , third time this week
"Hey come on wake up HELLO???"
"Pinkie how do you know that one is him?"
"I don't but I just well do"
"Well let's get him or rather 'it' up"
I was aquanted with the but of a spear in my back
"OWW PINKIE THAT HURT"
"See I told you it was him"
"Yeah yeah"
I moaned and growned until a bucket of hot water was splashed all over me. I swear the flash would have been jealous about how fast I got out of there. There lies the problem I ran straight into what looked like royalty I would have pissed my pants if I was wearing any. Thankfully I didn't at all. After trying to run away again I was stopped by what seemed like magic and of course it was. "WHY DOES THOU RUN FROM THY RULER?" I would have lost it if I already didn't yesterday. I fainted. I saw that 'Luna' figure again in my dream she said that I was a fool to be asleep and how that was her 'realm' so I was under her command .
Blah blah blah I never remembered any thing exept , "choose family or royalty?" And Luna didn't say that. Dash and my kidnapper both said in almost usion. Oh right I forgot I woke up at some point. I was instantly shocked with some sort of electricity and surprisingly still stood. I heard a few gasps behind me so naturally I turned around to see what it was but met by a bright blinding candle. I was dragged to a stone floor building in what felt like chains because I was still temporally blinded.
First days of High school
That night somewhere far away...
Behind a closed door so know one knows who is talking
"Well he is nice so I don't see why we have to keep this a secret to him"
"I don't know if he is the one"
"What are you talking about he is great at sports he should come here just because of that"
"Ya know not everything is about sports ... right?"
"Yeah but still..."
"He did save me from those mean mean people"
"Okey I agree with you there"
Door opens to reveal an object covered in black armor
"Have you reached a decision?"
"We have"
"Good you have 5 days until it happens"
"Only 5?"
"Yes"
"But-" "no it has been decided"
"OK, girls let's go back"
The next day
...Still at my house...
' I apologize princess but I must wake up now '
"n Ryan spike to Ryan spike to Ryan come in Ryan"
"Uggh I'm up I'm up ow" I forgot for a second that I was on the bottom bunk and hit my head causing me to black out
... My dream...
'Hello my name is Luna I control the night and in 4 nights we will meet each other properly ... now WAKE!!!'
back in the sane world
OWWWWIE "spike what happened?"
"Um I woke you up then you hit your head"
Why does he look like a purple dragon?
"What did I hit my head on?"
"Um the bed why?"
"Are you sure cause you look like a tiny purple dragon"
He stared at me then at himself and then of all things a purple pony walked in and asked if I was okey. "NO IM NOT OKEY and why do you look like a pony ... never mind I hit my head"(I may have overreacted... a bit)
"its me twilight"
"Okey I believe you um can you get my pain relievers my head hurts"
"Sure thing"
... 3 pills and 4 hours later ...
"Okey that's better" (by the second pill everything looked normal and the third actually finished off the pain) "are you sure your okey enough to go to school?" "I told you I'm fine" "okay girls that is that let's go"
... School 2 hours late ...
"Why are all of you late?"
One long explanation later...
"Ok get of to class Ryan Emily and rainbow you get to skip because of sports today"
... Field...
"Okay there is only one kid trying out for this so it should be quick and easy" dash was at the other end of the field ready to begin I was on the opposed side of the field in the goalie box.
The whistle blew and I had no time to think as the ball sped at my far left with a rainbow wind tail.
I jumped for it and I felt like I was flying.
(You know the movie matrix if not oh well but if you have watched it I did that one part where he goes in slow motion I did that to catch the ball)
I felt it in my hands and when I had caught it I blacked out.
