Dom T Meets Ponyby ElemefayohChaptersDom T Arrives In EquestriaFirst Night of InsanityThe Truth AwaitsCall Me DomDom T's Mysterious ArrivalFree-DomDom T Arrives In EquestriaSo it was just another ordinary day in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle doing her usual intense reading and studying, Rainbow Dash doing her usual flying tricks and trying to impress others with her awesomeness, Apple Jack doing her usual apple tree bucking at Sweet Apple Acres and Pinkie Pie at Sugar Cube Corner, bending the laws of physics yet again with her crazy, mysterious talents that no one else knew how to perform. Every pony was just doing their everyday routine, unaware of what the next moment would bring. Meanwhile in the real world, the sky was covered in dark grey clouds, rain poured down heavily, thunder roared loudly and the sky was flashing with bright lightning. It was 7:00am and a boy called Dom T was preparing for his day, he turned on TV and as shocked as he was, his old favourite cartoon came on. My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic was back on TV! "Oh rats" he thought when he realised a coupled of his friends were going to go on and on about it again. Suddenly an incredibly loud clap of thunder rattled the whole house and a massive power surge caused all the lights to blow out, and something completely unreal happened. Dom T was watching the TV as the screen went incredibly bright and lightning like rays shot out directly at him, and somehow, Dom T vanished into thin air. Then that exact moment in Ponyville, this male Earth Pony with a dark brown coat, brown eyes, a black mane and a black tail appeared. He had a cutie mark of what looked to be a photo of Dom T. "Oh crap! what was that!" shouted Dom T in fright. "Why is everything so bright and colourful?" he asked himself. Dom T sat up and saw ponies from MLP trotting around happily. "Wait a minute..." he thought as he slowly looked at his hands. As frightened as he already was, he jumped in fright when he saw that he had no fingers or toes, just hooves. Then he slowly walked up to a nearby store window to see if he looked the same, he froze for a moment when he saw a cartoon pony version of him as his reflection. At this point, he realised exactly what happened. Dom T then started looking nervous as though he was up to something that would cause trouble, but again he was obviously new to Ponyville, as proved when a happy pink pony with a curly pink mane and tail happily welcomed him. "Hello, I've never seen you before, I'm Pinkie Pie!" said Pinkie Pie in her usual over excited tone. The brown stallion just stood there and looked very confused, wondering if this was actually happening or not. Pinkie Pie walked closer to him. "What's your name?" she asked in curiosity. "I'm Dom T," replied the stallion. He started to look concerned when he realised he was talking to a fictional character. His thought's were soon interrupted by Pinkie Pie's loud high pitch laughing. "That's a silly name for a pony, Dom T!" she laughed with a bright smile on her face. "So is Pinkie Pie!" Dom T quickly replied with a cheeky grin. Followed by awkward silence, soon to be broken by a familiar southern voice. "Howdy Pinkie!" said an orange Earth Pony with a blond mane and tail wearing a brown hat. Before Dom T could even start to think what was happening, Pinkie Pie cheered, "Hello, Apple Jack! This is my new friend Dom T! Dom T this is my friend Apple Jack!" Things are getting weirder as each second passed, Dom T thought. "Hey there, Dom T, ahm Apple Jack! Nice ta meet ya!" she said as she firmly shook the brown ponies hoof, just like a normal handshake. "'Sup, Apple Jack," Dom T replied in a confused tone, seriously uncomfortable talking to fictional cartoons. He didn't like at all where this was going, so he tried to think of something to get him out of this painful situation, but his thoughts were interrupted constantly by Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack trying to get a word out of him. He then just shouted, "Oh rats, I'm late!" And then ran away from those two ponies as fast as he could. When he ran out of breath he turned to look back and to his delightful surprise, no pony was to be seen following him. It worked! he said in his mind. As relieved as he was to get away from Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack, he still didn't know what he was going through. Was he in a nightmare that felt very realistic, or did he some how find out a way to travel into a digital cartoon without knowing it. Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack stood there surprised on how quickly Dom T galloped off. "Did ah say somethin' wrong?" Apple Jack curiously asked Pinkie Pie, both ponies still staring in the distance. "Hahaha don't be silly, Apple Jack! He's new here, of course he's shocked!" said Pinkie Pie with a rather suspicious smile growing across her face. Dom T continued to explore Ponyville, as well as keeping dead alert for any surprises. He then froze for a moment when he heard multiple voices coming from a distance, they sounded like young fillies. Their cheerful voices grew louder and louder until out of nowhere three fillies, one on a scooter and the other two in a small trailer getting pulled by the scooter crashed right into Dom T. He went flying three metres from where he was standing. "Woooaaahhh!" shouted all three fillies as they collided with the pony. "I'm ok!" shouted Dom T loudly before getting back up on all fours. Winded and in pain, one of the fillies who was a white unicorn with a curly pink and purple mane and tail was struggling to stand back up. "Oh no! We're so so sorry!" cried the white unicorn. Quickly followed by a more angrier rather than sulky toned voice. "Watch out dude! You could have badly hurt us!" Which came from an orange pegasus with a purple mane and tail. Another injured Earth pony filly with a yellow coat, a redish pink mane and tail with a pink bow in her mane struggled to get back up. "Are ya a'right there?" she asked in a southern accent, just like Apple Jacks. "Yeah, I'm ok, just a little hurt," replied the white unicorn wiping a tear from her eye. By this point Dom T was sure he had gone completely insane, he felt bad for not helping any of the injured fillies, but at the same time he didn't have any clue if this was really happening or if it was all in his head. He was yet again distracted when he realised one of the fillies was talking to him. "Ahm very sorry 'bout what happened, are ya a'right?" He looked down to find a huge pair of orange eyes staring at him, the yellow earth pony was standing right in front of him. "I'm fine, don't worry about it," replied Dom T with hesitation. "Well, ahm Apple Bloom by the way!" said the yellow filly in a sudden happier tone. "This is Scootaloo," she said as she pointed to the orange pegasus, "and this is Sweetie Belle," she then pointed at the white unicorn who waved back at Dom T. Dom T just stood there and painfully faked a smile. "I gotta go," he said with an intense fake grin across his face. "Laters!" he shouted and he galloped off again. The three fillies stood there and watched as Dom T gapped it. "Did ya'll see his cutie mark?" Apple Bloom asked her two friends. "I saw something, but I didn't pay much interest in it," replied Scootaloo. "I saw what looked like a Chimpanzee's face grinning at me!" giggled Sweetie Belle. "Ya gals don't get what ahm askin' do ya? Don't ya think his cutie mark was a bit too detailed ta be real?" asked Apple Bloom. "Cutie marks have no more than three colours in em!" she added. "Rainbow Dash's cutie mark has four colours!" replied Scootaloo quickly. "Four colours can be possible, but this 'Dom T' pony had a cutie mark that has even more detail than anything in Equestria! Ya know that ain't a real cutie mark right? It just can't be!" said Apple Bloom. The three fillies were now real curious on what his real cutie mark is. Slowing down his pace, Dom T was surprised how easily he could ditch other ponies, and for the first time, he was actually smiling. But not for long as he realised where he ended up running to. "Oh ratchet," he said to himself when he knew that he ran right back to where he first started, and as if on cue, Pinkie Pie trotted on her hind legs, playing multiple instruments at once, sounding like a parade. "Welcome to Ponyville, Dom T!" she shouted happily. "Get rekt," said Dom T under his breath. Dom T then turned to the right and saw a purple unicorn with a dark bluish purple mane and tail walking in his direction. Dom T tried to pretend he didn't see her, unfortunately he couldn't ignore her once she started talking to him. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, welcome to Ponyville, Dom T!" greeted the purple unicorn. Dom T stood there with a shocked look on his face. "Wait, how did you know my name?" he asked, wanting to punch himself for talking to fictional candy coloured ponies. "Oh! Pinkie Pie told me, she knows the names of every pony in Ponyville," replied Twilight Sparkle. Then out of nowhere a slightly squeaky voice said "Well, if it isn't another new pony moving in!" Dom T turned around and saw a light blue pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane and tail smiling at him. "Rainbow Dash?" Dom T said in a quiet whisper. "That's me! Only the coolest most awesome pegasus in Equestria!" said Rainbow Dash who suddenly looked a bit surprised. "Huh? Um, did you just say my name, dude?" she asked Dom T in a nervous voice. Dom T knew either way this wasn't going to end well. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," he said. Feeling a bit guilty he quickly said "Ok I did! I know most of your names, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy," he said as he pointed at the nearest ponies around him. "Oh and you, I uhh, I don't know, sorry," He said pointing at a white unicorn with a dark purple mane and tail, with a rather disgusted look growing on her face. "Well pardon me mister Dom T! I am Rarity! Now do you know me? Good!" said the white unicorn, angrily stomping off. Dom T put a hoof over his mouth to prevent him from laughing out loud at Rarity's reaction. Then a light yellow pegasus pony with a light pink mane and tail walked up to Dom T, she looked very scared and unsure whether to keep walking closer to him or not. Unfortunately for Dom T this made things more awkward. Since he felt incredibly uncomfortable talking to animated ponies, he didn't know if he should say hi first or just wait for this pegasus to talk first. She stood the looking at him for a moment before she could say anything. Dom T knew she was there but he tried not to let this bother him. He was finally about to turn around to speak to her, when the pegasus beat him to it. "Um, e-excuse me?" she asked in a very quiet soft voice. Dom T knew she was talking to him. "May I uh, ask how you um, how you know m-my name? If you um, d-don't mind?" asked the yellow pegasus, she sounded more horrified as she spoke. Dom T didn't know what to say, these digital ponies clearly had feelings, but that didn't stop him from thinking he had gone bonkers in the head. "I watched your show on TV," he replied dumbly. Incredibly confused, the yellow pegasus just quietly said "Oh, ok then," and slowly walked away, smiling nervously back at Dom T. First Night of InsanityIn the real world, Dom T didn't really care much for MLP these days, but being zapped into the show itself was a whole new level of madness. Is this how he's going to live the rest of his life? Is he even still alive? So many questions just flowed in and out of his head. It was getting darker, and Dom T had no where to sleep, nor did he feel safe asking any of the ponies. The temperature dropped rapidly by the second, the sun had just gone under the horizon, with the moon rising at the other end of the sky. The temperature was so cold, Dom T had intense numbness in his legs. He trotted to the nearest house, which looked like a massive tree house from closer up. He couldn't take much more of the cold as his skin felt like it was blistering. Dom T impatiently knocked on the door of the tree house, and with a surprise it wasn't a pony who answered the door, it was a small purple dragon with green spines. "So the new pony came to stay here did he?" He said smiling. Dom T wasn't sure what to say so he just nodded his head in agreement. "Well, if you really need to, you can stay here, make yourself at home, anyway, what's your name?" The dragon asked anxiously. "I'm Dom T," Dom T replied dumbly. "Dom T ay? Well, I am Spike!" said the dragon in a more cheerful tone. Dom T heard the sound of hooves trotting towards him, and with no surprise it was Twilight Sparkle. "Hi, Dom T, may I help you with something?" asked Twilight curiously. Dom T was about to answer but he was suddenly interrupted by Spike. "He has no where else to stay, so I figured he can stay here with us?" Spike replied. Twilight looked slightly annoyed. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have another pony stay with us for a night," sighed Twilight in agreement. "Why what's the matter, Twilight?" Spike asked as he walked up to her. "It's nothing, Spike, please don't worry about it!" Twilight said uncomfortably as she walked up to her room. "Twilight, you can tell me, I'm your number one assistant! Oh, come on, Twilight!" Spike said as he followed her. "Spike please leave me alone, I have study to catch up on, now please, go away!" Twilight said raising her voice. "All right, whatever you say, Twilight, if you don't want to talk about it, just let it bother you," Spike happily said as he walked back into the entrance where Dom T was standing. Dom T looked rather confused. "What was her problem?" he asked Spike in a quiet voice. "I wish I knew, she has her moments, she temporarily kicked me out of her room only a week ago, now I have to sleep in here and speaking of sleep I could really used a nap right now, it's been a big day!" Spike said as he yawned. "Tell me about it," replied Dom T. "Maybe tomorrow..." mumbled Spike as he drifted off to sleep. "Hey, where am I supposed to sleep?" Dom T asked sharply. "Um, Spike?" he added, regretting talking to a cartoon again. "Go ask Twilight, I'm out," Spike mumbled. Dom T was feeling annoyed because no one showed where he was sleeping, he was very tired, his eyes were closing, but he tried to stay awake. He couldn't just sleep on the ground, it was freezing and too uncomfortable, he then gulped as he headed up towards Twilight Sparkles room. He was very nervous but without too much time wasting, he knocked on the door, which sounded a lot louder than he expected. Dom T waited and waited for a reply, he knocked again, louder this time. "Ugh! Spike, what is it that you don't understand about 'privacy' I need to be alone for this, I'm sorry!" Twilight said in a sharp tone. "It's Dom T here, Spike's asleep," Dom T said yawning afterwards. There was no reply. "Um, is there anywhere here I can sleep?" Dom T asked hesitantly. Dom T waited for a response from the unicorn, but there was still no reply. "What are you up to!?" asked Dom T impatiently. "Twilight? Twilight? Twilight? Twilight?" Dom T then kept asking as he continuously knocked on her door. "Hold on, Dom T, I need to concentrate! This spell I'm practising can be very risky!" Twilight said in an annoyed voice. Dom T was dosing off then he fell into the door and hit his head against it with a loud THUD and sprung back up in shock when he heard a scream coming from Twilights room, he then quickly swung open the door. Dom T saw something that he didn't like the look of. "Twilight? Are you ok?" asked Dom T, panicking. He rushed over to Twilight Sparkle who looked badly hurt and very pale. "H-help me... I..." Twilight said in a very quiet whisper. Dom T couldn't help but feel worried about this cartoon pony. He then attempted to lift her back into her bed, and he had to walk up stairs to get to it. This was a painful choice for Dom T, who was so tired that he could fall asleep any second, but he succeeded. Dom T stared at the Unicorn for a bit, but he then punched himself in the face hard when he realised it, and to wake himself up a bit more. "Are you ok, Twilight?" he asked, slowly getting used to talking to cartoons. "I need to finish..." Twilight mumbled. Dom T spotted a large cut on Twilights hoof, just before he discovered that he was standing in blood from the mare. He quickly rushed down to get Spike, he would know what to do. "I'll be back soon, Twilight!" Dom T said. What was happening to Twilight? What was happening to him? Dom T just couldn't get his head around anything, but now was not the time to think. "Spike!" Dom T shouted trying to wake Spike up. "Spike, wake up, man!" Spike was still in deep sleep, so Dom T woke Spike up by spilling cold water on him. "Hey, what was that for?" growled Spike. "Twilight is badly hurt, I don't know what to do!" Dom T said urgently. "Oh, Twilight what have you done this time," muttered Spike as he immediately stood up and rushed up to Twilights bedroom. "Oh no, Twilight!?" Spike cried as he tried to get a response from her. "Spike, I-I need to..." Twilight mumbled. "Need to what?" Spike asked seriously. "T-take me to the... hospital.. right n-now..." Twilight mumbled a bit louder this time. Spike looked startled as he knew that Twilight had a fear of hospitals. Dom T finally fell asleep, on the staircase, but Spike shouted loud enough to wake him up. "Dom T! Can you give me a hand!? Now, would be good!" Dom T then stood up and sighed in anger as he walked up to Spike. "Twilight needs to go to hospital, you can carry her there, I'll show you the way!" Spike quickly said, panicking. Dom T at first thought this was some kind of joke, but the expression on Spikes face couldn't look more serious. "All right then, I'll take her," sighed Dom T as Spike lifted Twilight onto his back. As they left the tree house, the temperature suddenly dropped. Dom T's hooves started getting all numb, but he wasn't too cold as he was carrying Twilight on his back, and she felt as heavy as a bus. His tiredness only made it more difficult. Spike walked alongside with pure worry. Dom T was indeed struggling and was at the point where he would normally give up, but he wanted to push his limits. After what seemed to be two hours of fast, painful trotting, Spike said, "Well, here we are," Dom T jumped in surprise when he saw a massive building in front of him. "I knew that," He said as he walked inside. Just as they entered, a nurse, white pony with a pink mane and tail quickly rushed up to them. "Oh no, this is bad, she's been telling me about this dangerous spell she wanted to learn, and it's actually happening, oh no! Thank you so much for bringing her here," said Nurse Redheart who was panicking. "What's wrong with her?" asked Dom T. "No time to explain, we need to get her into care urgently!" said Nurse Redheart as she carefully lifted Twilight onto a hospital bed. "She's going to make it, right? RIGHT?!" asked Spike as his eyes watered. "We will just have to see what time brings," sighed Nurse Redheart sadly. Spike started running after Twilight but Nurse Redheart stopped him. Spike just dodged her and went straight after Twilight, crying. Dom T felt terrible, he realised he'd done nothing but caused trouble. Then a voice in his head whispered "Here's your chance of preventing trouble." and he saw Spike running after Twilight who was in a hospital bed getting pushed by hospital ponies. Dom T then darted directly passed Spike and blocked him from going any further. "Spike, come with me, man. Twilight will be all right," Dom T said as he carried Spike back to the waiting room. "Will I ever see Twilight Sparkle again?" asked Spike as he cried. "The only thing we have now is hope, Spike," said Nurse Redheart who gave a weak hopeful smile and walked off slowly. Dom T and Spike walked back to the tree house slowly. Spike calmed down as he walked back. Dom T was exhausted, and he saw the sun rising on the horizon. By time they got back home it was 6am, and Spike immediately ran to his bed and fell straight off to sleep. Dom T just sat down and looked out the window then he too fell asleep within ten minutes. Dom T was walking to the hospital with Spike to see what happened to Twilight Sparkle. They both enter the building to see an upset Nurse Redheart walking up to them. "Twilight Sparkle is gone she left at 6:36am, I am so sorry, we tried everything," she said in a shaky voice. Spike bursted into tears and punched the floor as hard as he could, causing a slight crack. Dom T froze, intense chill ran down his back and his mouth opened wide in shock, he couldn't help but feel responsible for Twilight Sparkles death. He just turned and walked out of the hospital, forgetting Spike. He was in the gloomiest mood of all time, the weather was terrible, thunder, lightning, strong winds and rain so heavy it hurt, but this didn't bother Dom T, since he was incredibly shocked how sad he was about a silly cartoon pony, but his sorrow became the better of him. He was losing his mind, he started running through the Everfree forest just wanting everything to return to normal. Dom T was running through the trees in the wind, the full moon was shining brightly as the sky quickly cleared. He suddenly stopped when he heard a voice call him. "Dom T!" "Who said that?" Dom T asked uncomfortably. He saw for himself as a dark blue Alicorn landed beside him, she had a blue mane and tail scattered with tiny white stars which were swaying with the wind. "I see you've been worrying about things a lot," she said comfortingly. Dom T didn't like where this was going, but he still thought this was the key to getting out of Equestria. "Are you, Princess Luna?" Dom T asked out of character. "As the Princess of the night, I'm here to help you," said the Alicorn sweetly. Dom T didn't understand any of this. "I killed Twilight Sparkle, and I never thought I'd say it but, I'm sorry, really sorry," Dom T never felt like this before, a mix of confusion, sorrow, anger, guilt and even home sickness. "No, no don't apologise, you are going through a lot of stress, you don't need to feel bad about yourself, it's not your fault. Twilight Sparkle is not dead, she'll be back home in roughly two days!" said Princess Luna. Dom T suddenly felt relieved, but not for long when he remembered what Nurse Redheart said at the hospital. "Twilight Sparkle died at 6:36am," Dom T sobbed. "That's what you heard, but it doesn't mean it's true. This is only another bad dream you're having, and from what you've been doing, the last thing you would want right now is Twilight Sparkle to die, and to be responsible for her death. That's what is playing on your mind, so that's why you're having this dream, Dom T," Luna explained. "Wait, this is just a dream?" Dom T said with a slight smile growing on his face. "Well, it's more like a nightmare, but you can say dream if that's what you want to call it, everything will work out for you! Good luck, Dom T," said Luna as she disappeared into the full moon. The Truth AwaitsDom T woke up, freaking out, he was glad that it actually was just a dream, but annoyed that he was still a pony in Equestria and not back at home. It was 11:30am. He walked down to see if Spike was awake yet, but he was still fast asleep and snoring loudly. Dom T went for a walk outside, just to wake up a little bit. Ponies were already up and trotting around like nothing happened last night. In this place he had no money, no home and no friends, and just then he thought of Twilight Sparkle and what happened to her. Dom T turned around to walk back and see if Spike was awake, until he heard Pinkie Pie. "Hello, Dom T! Watcha doing!?" asked Pinkie Pie happily. "Just seeing if Spike woke up yet, I had to sleep there, I had no where else," sighed Dom T. Pinkie Pie suddenly looked worried. "You look like you didn't sleep at all," said Pinkie Pie, "Hey, do you want to eat at Sugar Cube Corner!?" Pinkie suddenly looked happy again. "I could use something to eat, but I have no money," Dom T said looking at the ground. "I'll cheer you up! I'll give you a free cupcake! You know you want one!" Pinkie Pie said quickly. "Are you really giving me something for free?" Dom T asked interested. "Of course! You have no bits to buy anything with, and I am one of your best friends! Why not? Eating will turn your frown upside down!" Pinkie chirped. "Ok then," Dom T agreed as he and Pinkie Pie walked to Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie Pie was saying "Hello!" to every pony she trotted passed, smiling. Dom T was just worried about Twilight more than anything, how would Pinkie Pie react if she finds out? he thought. His thoughts were cleared as Pinkie Pie cheered, "Here we are!" Dom T looked up and what he saw made him more hungrier the longer he looked at it. A building that looked like it was made purely out of candy. "I am hungry now," said Dom T quietly. "What are you waiting for, Dom T, Come on!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "All right, I'm coming," Dom T said. As he walked inside Pinkie Pie already had a cupcake made for him at a table. "Here ya go! Eating this will surely put a smile on your dial!" said Pinkie Pie as she gave Dom T a cupcake. "Um, thanks," Dom T said. He took a bite of the cupcake and it tasted a lot better than he expected, he actually liked it. "What's wrong? You look sad," Pinkie said. "Oh, it's nothing, this cupcake is delicious!" said Dom T, trying to change the subject. "What's wrong, Dom T, you can tell me, I am your friend, right?" Pinkie Pie asked in concern. Dom T finished the cupcake and wiped his mouth. "I had the worst night in a long time," he said. Pinkie Pie started looking more concerned. "Are you sure, tell me what it is that's upsetting you, you will feel better once you get it off your chest," Pinkie Pie said comforting him. "I can't, you won't like it, I'm telling you right now. I need to get back to Spike, he'll be wondering why I left him alone," said Dom T. Pinkie Pie then looked very worried. "What happened with Twilight Sparkle?" Pinkie Pie said softly. Dom T felt his eyes water, all he wanted to do now was cry, but he didn't want Pinkie Pie to see him crying. "Twilight Sparkle? She's fine!" Dom T's voice was shaky as he tried to hold back his tears. Pinkie Pie then gave him a small hug. "It's ok if you tell me, I know how hard it is to let it out, but just try," Pinkie Pie in this caring, calm mood didn't seem right, at all. "Why do you think Twilight has something to do with it?" Dom T asked curiously. "Well, when you said you needed to get back to Spike, he'll wonder why you left him alone, since Twilight lives with him she would normally be with Spike," Pinkie Pie explained. Dom T heavily sighed in defeat as he stood up. "Twilight got taken to hospital last night, Spike and I should visit her," he explained. "Can I please come with you?" Pinkie Pie asked with slight hesitation. "Sure, why not," said Dom T. Dom T entered Twilights house and saw that Spike woke up. "Hey, there you are, did you just visit Twilight without me?" Spike asked in a serious tone. "No, I was just hungry," said Dom T as Pinkie Pie walked in. "Oh hey, Pinkie Pie, Twilights not here," Spike said as his eyes watered. "Hello, Spike!" cheered Pinkie Pie, "What happened to Twilight? Is she ok?" Pinkie Pie asked Spike. Spike shrugged his shoulders. "No one knows, all I know is Dom T went to ask her something and he found her injured on the floor in her room," "Shouldn't we visit her?" Pinkie Pie asked. "That's why I'm standing here waiting!" Spike said standing outside the door. As the three were walking to the hospital, Dom T still felt like he didn't fit in, but he felt like he had new friends, they were fictional and animated, but he tried his best not to let this get to him, instead he tried to see it as another normal day in the life of Dom T. "Say, have any of you experienced Princess Luna visiting you dreams?" Dom T asked out of the blue. "Who hasn't these days?" Spike replied. "When I have nightmares that start off scary, but get scarier and scarier until they are so scary I want to wake up, but no matter how hard I try I can't wake myself up, I see Princess Luna fly down from the moon! She helped me become the brave Pinkie Pie I am now!" Pinkie Pie said happily. Dom T looked relieved that he wasn't the only one, but he was still a tad curious. "When Luna visits you in your dreams, does she actually come inside them, or is it all in your head?" Dom T asked both Spike and Pinkie. "I haven't really thought about that to be completely honest," Spike said curiously. "I think she has the power to enter more than one dream at once, because there can't be only one pony in Equestria having a nightmare each night because that would be silly!" Pinkie Pie explained, only confusing Dom T even more. Dom T started feeling more and more nervous as he, Spike and Pinkie Pie approached the hospital, which looked a lot smaller during the day, but the area around it still vividly reminded him of last night and even the dream he had. The three walked in the hospital, Dom T hoping that this won't turn out badly, like his dream did. Pinkie Pie went up and asked, "We're here to visit Twilight Sparkle!" The pony behind the desk looked up at Pinkie Pie. "Twilight Sparkle? She's in room number 6, to your right," said the pony. "Okie dokie lokie!" chirped Pinkie Pie, who looked excited to see Twilight. They head towards a door with the number 6 on it, as they walked in, Dom T felt his stomach drop, he couldn't help himself feeling guilty. "Twilight!? You're awake!" Spike said in a slightly croaky voice. "Hey Spike, it's so lovely of you to visit me, thank you," Twilight said just above a whisper. Pinkie Pie had a huge smile across her face as she saw Twilight Sparkle. "How did you end up here?" Pinkie Pie asked with extreme curiosity. "I don't really know, for certain, but I do know one thing..." she turned to Dom T who looked awfully sorry. "Dom T saved my life, if it wasn't for this stallion here, I wouldn't be talking right now! I can't thank you enough, you saved my life," Twilight said happily with her eyes watering. Dom T looked puzzled, but when he thought of it he did actually save her. "Sorry about dosing off and hitting my head on the door, making you..." Dom T was interrupted as Twilight explained as she started remembering what happened. "It wasn't the bang on the door that made me sick, I would've ended up like this either way. I was trying a new magic spell, one that would allow me to shape shift into anything I wanted, but I it messed up, and it some how rebounded back at me, if you hadn't found me, I would be dead by now. Thank you so much, Dom T!" Twilight Sparkle had tears in her eyes. "What about that cut on your hoof? How did that get there?" Dom T asked calmly. "That's just a nasty paper cut from a book, it's okay," Twilight said quietly. Dom T just sat down in a seat beside Twilight, who put her hoof on his. "Thank you, so much," she whispered. Spike stood there, wide eyed, mouth open. "Hey, give me some credit, I showed Dom T the right directions to the hospital, so I too saved your life!" Spike said stubbornly. Twilight suddenly felt bad for Spike. "Thank you, Spike, you really did save me, please forgive me, I'm only just recovering, I should be out in two days," Twilight's voice was as quiet, if not quieter than Fluttershys voice. Pinkie Pies eyes watered as she hugged Dom T randomly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, for saving Twilight Sparkle!!!" Pinkie Pie said quickly letting go of him. "Sorry about the sudden hug, I'm just so happy!" Pinkie said with an awkward giggle. Dom T didn't mind at this point, he was just happy Twilight was okay. "All goods," he said in reply to Pinkie Pie. "Dom T, I am sorry for telling you to go away, I should of helped you. That spell is a very complicated one and it can be very risky, it's best to be done in a room alone for safety reasons. I'd just only hope you can forgive me?" Twilight Sparkles eyes were watering faster now. Dom T felt how bad the purple unicorn felt about how she spoke to him last night, so he simply accepted her apology. "It's ok, you were busy trying a new, spell or whatever," Dom T said. "I guess everything's settled then," Spike said happily. Dom T just then recalled what Princess Luna said to him in his nightmare. "Everything will work out for you, Good luck, Dom T!" That one sentence kept repeating in his head, he then looked at Twilight who smiled back at him. "Everything worked out well," Dom T said to himself with a smile on his face. Call Me DomIt has been two days since Twilight Sparkle nearly died, Dom T stayed with Spike and Twilight in the tree house library. It was just another day, not much to do so he went for a walk. "I'll be back later!" said Dom T. "Goodbye, Dom T!" said Twilight as she happily waved at him. "Dom T sounds a bit weird, you can just call me Dom for now!" Dom T said as he left. "Ok, Dom it is!" Twilight laughed, waving goodbye. He was walking around, hoping not to bump into Pinkie Pie again, because he just knew she would never leave him alone. A loud clap of thunder suddenly made Dom T jump in fright, he looked up and saw Rainbow Dash on a dark grey cloud laughing. "What are you up to!?" snapped Dom T as he looked at Rainbow Dash angrily. Rainbow just smiled nervously. Dom T now understanding that it was just a joke, played along. "Good one, Rainbow," Dom T said. "Good? Don't you mean awesome!?" Rainbow Dash shouted, flying down to Dom T. "Yeah I guess so," Dom T said, a bit confused. "What brings you here anyway, Dom T, I haven't seen you around much," said Rainbow Dash. "You can just call me Dom," Dom T replied. "Well, Dom!" Rainbow Dash chuckled at the sound of the name. "Woah! Nice cutie mark, what is your special talent? It looks so interesting!" Dom T looked very confused, trying to figure out what Rainbow Dash was talking about. "Sorry? cutie what now?" asked Dom T. "Your cutie mark!" Rainbow dash said pointing at a cloud with a red, yellow and blue lightning bolt on her flank. "Isn't it awesome?" Rainbow Dash whispered still pointing at her cutie mark. "Uh yeah, mine is just a photo of me," said Dom T quietly. Dom T saw Pinkie Pie in the distance bouncing his way. "Oh rats, I just remembered, I gotta go to, um, somewhere, talk to you later, Rainbow!" he said as he ran off leaving Rainbow Dash confused, then she figured out why, when Pinkie Pie jumped by. "Hello Rainbow Dash! Have you seen Dom T anywhere? I'm looking for him!" Pinkie chirped. "Yeah I did, he went off, that way," Rainbow Dash said pointing in the same direction Dom T went. "Thank you Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said as she happily bounced off. "Pinkie wait up! I need to..." Rainbow Dash called as she dashed after Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie! Wait!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "What's up, Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie said happily. "May I ask you, why do you need to see Dom, I think he's trying to get away from you, Pinkie Pie," Rainbow said. Pinkie Pies face went all cold and sad. "Does he 'gulp' hate me?" said Pinkie as her eyes watered with tears. "Relax Pinkie Pie, he said he needed to go somewhere," said Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie lightened up a little. "Where did he go?" she asked. "He didn't say where he was going, Pinkie, but he darted off that way," said Rainbow Dash, directing Pinkie Pie where Dom T ran off too again. "Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie Pie said as she happily bounced off. Dom T had been running for a while, and he had no clue where he was. There were apple trees surrounding him and he saw a red barn in the distance. As he walked towards the red barn he picked an apple from a nearby tree. "I wonder if these taste like real apples." he thought as he took a bite. Dom T was surprised, these apples tasted the same, if not better than real apples, just as he finished he threw the core as far as he could. Dom T got a small fright when he heard a familiar voice. "Howdy, Dom T, welcome to Sweet Apple Acres! The finest place in Equestria!" said Apple Jack who was standing right by him, carrying two baskets of apples on her back. Before Dom T could say anything, Apple Jack said "Ya look all worn out, did ya run all the way over here, sugar cube?" "Just Pinkie Pie, she never leaves me alone," sighed Dom T. Apple Jack looked very surprised as she and Dom T started walking towards the barn. "Did you just... get away from Pinkie Pie?" Apple Jack asked in such shock. "Yeah I did, twice!" said Dom T, faking a smile. "How in Equestria did you... ah mean... Rainbow Dash couldn't even escape that pony! Ah do remember when ya ran away from Pinkie and I, some days ago, and she went after you, so... I thought, she would've found ya," Apple Jack kept stumbling on her words. "Ah just can't believe you were able to get away from Pinkie Pie, Dom T!" Apple Jack added quietly. "Just call me Dom, and is it really that hard, to hide from Pinkie Pie?" Dom T asked as they entered the farm. "Well, ah must say, runnin' away from Pinkie Pie, is kinda like, say, runnin' away from ya own shadow on a fine sunny day, ya just can't do it, no matter how hard ya try!" Apple Jack explained. "If you went in a shady place, you can't see your shadow," said Dom T. "Hmm... Make it that there ain't no shade apart from ya own shadow, it ain't as easy as ya may think," Apple Jack said, winking her eye. Just as they walked up to the barn, Rainbow Dash flew down to them. "So what have you guys been doing?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Howdy Rainbow, ahm just talkin' with mah new friend, Dom here, who claims he is able to ditch Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash opened her mouth wide and her right eye twitched. "You mean, she isn't here?" Rainbow Dash gasped. "Nope, ah don't see Pinkie around here at all!" Apple Jack said. Both of the mares turned to Dom T, who didn't like the feeling of two pairs of large sparkly eyes staring at him. "Yes?" said Dom T awkwardly. "How do you do it?" asked Rainbow Dash quietly. "Just run in the opposite direction, fast!" said Dom T. "How fast!?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Very fast," said Dom T. "How about I challenge you to a race then?" said Rainbow Dash. "Are you kidding me? You are Rainbow Dash though!" said Dom T. "Oh I can go easy on you, but I'll get bored doing that, I wanna see how fast you are, Dom!" Rainbow said, stretching her wings. "Um, Rainbow, Dom is an Earth Pony, he ain't got any wings!" said Apple Jack. "I'll fly, Dom can run, sounds fair to me!" shouted Rainbow Dash excitedly. "Ah suppose..." said Apple Jack, unsure about the idea. "Where are we racing to?" asked Dom T. "I don't know, Sugar Cube Corner sounds good," said Rainbow Dash, ready at the start line. Dom T and Rainbow Dash were both on the start line, feeling very confident about winning. "Well, AJ, what are you waiting for? Start the race!" shouted Rainbow Dash. Apple Jack laughed as she was sidetracked. "Hey, Apple Jack! Whatchya doin'?" said Apple Bloom, happily trotting towards Apple Jack. "Hey there, Apple Bloom! Ahm just racing these two ponies!" Apple Jack replied. "Ready? Set? Go!" chanted Apple Jack as she shot a gun into the air. Dom T and Rainbow Dash were off like bullets. "Hey, ah know that pony! He has a funny lookin' cutie mark, and he saved Twilight Sparkle!" said Apple Bloom. "And he might just be the first pony to beat Rainbow Dash in a race!" Apple Jack continued. "Are ya makin' that pony race Rainbow Dash?" asked Apple Bloom. "Well, he is the only pony that ah know of that can hide from Pinkie Pie, which ah thought was straight impossible," Replied Apple Jack Apple Bloom looked amazed. "Do ya mean Pinkie Pie as in, Sugar Cube Corner Pinkie Pie?" asked Apple Bloom with interest. "Yep, ah don't quite understand how he does it either," said Apple Jack, trying to figure it all out. Dom T was galloping faster than he ever did, pushing himself to his limit, he was able to keep up with Rainbow Dash fairly easily. Rainbow Dash looked down and saw that Dom T was passing her, she boosted passed him, but struggled to stay in first place. "How are you doing that!" she shouted. Dom T was too focused on winning to answer Rainbows question. "OH COME ON!!! THIS IS NEARLY SONIC RAINBOOM SPEED, DUDE!!!" shouted Rainbow Dash at the top of her lungs, causing her to slow down a little. Dom T was only half a metre behind Rainbow Dash, keeping his pace. Rainbow Dash, could see Sugar Cube Corner in the distance. "First place here I come!" shouted Rainbow Dash confidently. Dom T was losing his breath but he didn't let that slow him down one bit, once he saw the finish line he was boosting his speed. Rainbow Dash saw Dom T passing her, so she used up her last burst of energy and went flat out. Sugar Cube Corner was getting nearer by the second, Dom T saw Rainbow Dash struggling past him, and he was just about to pass the finish line when an incredibly loud BOOM! knocked him off his hooves. Dom T tumbled over rolling on the ground, he was now in extreme pain as he hit his head on the ground hard. He was lying flat on his back, out of breath, ears ringing loudly and injured, he opened his eyes and saw a massive Rainbow circle expanding across the sky. He thought he was seeing things, because he hit his head so hard, but it was Rainbow Dash who did the sonic rainboom while they were racing. He then saw a couple of ponies looking over him, talking to him, but the ringing of his ears was too loud to hear what they were saying. Then he saw one that looked like Rainbow Dash that was trying to get a word out of him, but his eye sight was all blurry and he suddenly felt dizzy. The pony who looked to be Rainbow Dash put her hoof on his head gently, then Dom T felt his dizziness get worse until a few seconds later, he closed his eyes and blacked out. Dom T's Mysterious ArrivalDom T woke up in hospital, with a bandage around his head and all four legs. "Woah, what happened to me...?" asked Dom T as he started feeling the pain come through. "Oh thank goodness you're ok!" said no other than Twilight Sparkle, smiling in relief. "You were in quite a wreck dude!" said a happy Rainbow Dash, hovering slightly above the ground. Dom T's eye sight was clearer and his ears weren't ringing constantly any more. "Did I win the race?" asked Dom T. Rainbow Dash looked suddenly disappointed. "Dude, I don't know how you did it, but it was a tie! And when you fell over, that was my fault, I'm very sorry about that," Rainbow Dash explained. "Didn't I just trip over from running too fast?" asked Dom T. "No way, I was flying so fast to keep up with you, I managed a Sonic Rainboom!" said Rainbow Dash looking amazed. "Sonic Rainboom?" Dom T questioned. "Wait, was that the huge rainbow ring I saw, only seconds before I blacked out?" Dom T looked curious. "That would've been it!" Rainbow Dash said. "I saw the whole thing, Dom. I was at Sugar Cube Corner with Spike and Pinkie Pie, and then I heard this loud noise that shook the ground. I ran outside and saw you lying on your back, Pinkie and I rushed over to see if you were okay, and then Rainbow Dash flew down to you, scared that she'd lost... the race of course!" Twilight Sparkle explained to Dom T. "That was one race that I'll never forget!" said Rainbow Dash, smiling at Dom T. Ten days later, Dom T was free to leave the hospital. "I never thought I'd say this, ever. But thank you for keeping me company in there," Dom T said to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack who were walking with him. "Dom, how come you always run away from me, and when you run away from me, I can never find you, no matter how hard I try you always get away from me and that confuses me to no end!" asked Pinkie Pie. "I don't know how I do that myself," Dom T muttered. "Well, how ever you do it, it's so wickedly awesome!" Rainbow Dash said smiling. "Yeah I guess, everyone has their own talent," Dom T said. Dom T didn't feel right, his thoughts about who he's with, what he's doing, where he's at seemed to be all negative at this point. He was very happy that he could walk again, but how he actually got here in the first place is what bugged him the most. "Can I ask you um, ponies a question?" Dom T asked the four ponies around him. "Go ahead, sugar cube!" said Apple Jack happily. "Well, do any of you know exactly how I got here in the first place?" Dom T asked carefully. "I remember seeing you looking into a window and getting a fright, that's when I first saw you!" said Pinkie Pie. "Oh rats, you were the first pony out of the bunch to see me too," said Dom T, looking disappointed. "What's up, dude? Are you alright?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I am not meant to be here, with you, in Equestria, I belong in a different world," sighed Dom T in deep thought. Very confused, Twilight Sparkle somehow looked very concerned for Dom T. "You are meant to be here, Dom. You saved me from what would've been my death!" said Twilight Sparkle. Dom T looked at Twilight, her eyes were watering. "I just did what I thought was right, you know. I, I didn't want to lose you," Dom T said quietly. "It takes a lot of bravery for a pony to do what you did, especially if they are new to the place and don't know any of the ponies. We all need you here, Dom!" said Twilight Sparkle. "I'm nothing guys, you are four of the mane six ponies, I can't compare to you!" said Dom T. "We all know that ain't true!" burst Apple Jack. "You are pretty much as awesome as me!" shouted Rainbow Dash. Dom T didn't know what to do, he was now a friend of all of these ponies, but he didn't belong in this world. He stopped walking and started wondering how long he had been there for, but got disturbed when he felt a hoof tap his back, he turned around in surprise. "Oh sorry to bother you, darling. My apologies for what I said to you on your first day here in Equestria, I got a bit upset over you not knowing my name but knowing the names of the other five ponies," It was Rarity, the white unicorn who Dom T upset in his first day. "It's ok," Dom T mumbled, "Wait, five others?" Dom T looked confused as he counted them. "Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack and Rarity, wait where's um... oh what's her name...?" "Do you mean Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Yes, Fluttershy, that's her," said Dom T. "Well, you won't see her around as much, she barely leaves her house, and only does if she's playing with her animals outside, or if one of us goes to get her," explained Twilight Sparkle. "Hey, Dom, it's been a while!" said Spike happily, running up to him. "Hey Spike!" said Dom T, "I really need to go back," he sighed. "Go back to where?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Back to Earth," replied Dom T sadly. "This is Earth, Dom," said Apple Jack. "This is not the Earth I'm from," said Dom T Dom T then started walking towards Twilights tree house, with the other ponies following him. All the ponies, and even Spike looked very confused. "He's from a totally different Earth?" Spike asked Twilight. "Apparently so!" Twilight replied. "Aww, why so blue, Dom?" asked Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "I told you, I don't belong in this world of ponies," said Dom T. "See this thing here? That's me! That's who I am! That's what I look like!" said Dom T, pointing at his cutie mark, which was a photo of him as a human. "Well I must say, that cutie mark does look very unusual," said Spike. "Do any of you know what humans are?" asked Dom T in curiosity. "I think I've heard of them before but I don't know much about them, no," said Twilight Sparkle. "Well, do you know who created you guys?" asked Dom T, hoping they would know. "Duh! My parents, obviously!" said Rainbow Dash. "That's not what I mean, Rainbow," sighed Dom T. "What I mean is, you are all animated by humans, you are all fictional characters on a kids TV show," Dom T explained to the ponies, and Spike of course. All the ponies looked confused, then they all turned to the door when they heard light knocking. Dom T saw Twilight Sparkle answer the door and it was no other than Fluttershy, the shy yellow pegasus he talked to when he first arrived. "Oh, is this a party?" asked Fluttershy, who looked a lot calmer than she did the last time Dom T saw her. "A party!? Where!? WHERE!?" chirped Pinkie Pie excitedly. "Sorry, it's not a party, Pinkie Pie. But Dom here says he's from another universe!" replied Twilight excitedly. "Aww, no party?" sighed Pinkie Pie. "Do you mean, he's from... space?" asked Fluttershy with interest. "No, I'm not exactly from space, I am from Earth, but I'm from a different earth with a different moon and a different sun," replied Dom T. "So, are ya sayin' you're from a parallel universe?" asked Apple Jack. "Well, if you put it that way, maybe. But this whole Equestria thing and all of you characters are on a cartoon that plays on TV in my world!" said Dom T. All the ponies suddenly looked shocked just as Dom T finished that sentence. "I really need to get back to my world, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I want to go back to see my friends and family, if any of you know how?" asked Dom T. "Well, how did you get here in the first place?" asked Rainbow Dash helpfully. "All I remember is that I was watching your cartoon, it's called My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, and then there was a very bright flash of light from the lightning storm which bolted right at me from the TV, and then I ended up here, with you!" explained Dom T carefully. "So you don't know how to get back I guess?" asked Spike. "If I knew how to get back, I would've left as soon as I'd arrived!" said Dom T. "But then, Twilight Sparkle would probably be having her funeral now instead of standing here with her friends..." sighed Dom T. "I wouldn't be here without you, Dom!" said Twilight Sparkle, smiling. The sun was down, the moon was up, and the ponies and Spike were chatting happily with Dom T, who still couldn't get his head around what happened to him, even after explaining it to the others. "It's gettin' late, ah better head off back home now, nice talkin' with ya'll!" said Apple Jack, happily, she waved and galloped off. "Yeah I should get going too, goodnight!" said Rainbow Dash as she dashed out. The rest of the ponies left as they happily trotted back to their homes. Twilight Sparkle thought they were all gone until she saw Fluttershy hiding in the corner. "Fluttershy, I'm sorry but you need to go home now," said Twilight calmly. "I-I can't walk out there! It's dark, a-and I want to stay here," replied Fluttershy as she stood up. "Come on, Fluttershy, the other ponies did it, Twilight here would do it, even I would do it, there's nothing to be afraid of," said Dom T. "No, I can't go out there alone at this time!" replied Fluttershy who started looking scared. "Oh, Fluttershy, come on I'll take you home!" said Twilight Sparkle happily. "Oh thank you so much Twilight, you are a true friend!" said Fluttershy. "It's the least I can do," said Twilight. "See you later, Dom and Spike," said Fluttershy kindly as she nervously waved. "I won't be long guys!" said Twilight Sparkle shut the door and left. "I really wonder if this is how I'm going to spend the rest of my life," said Dom T sadly. "Hey, it's not all that bad! But I do have an idea to get you a step closer to going back," said Spike. "Let's just wait until Twilight gets back, just for safety reasons," said Dom T. "And now, we wait!" said Spike. Free-DomDom T was chatting with Spike, waiting for Twilight Sparkle to come back. "She's been gone for an hour now, is this normal for Twilight?" Dom T asked Spike worryingly. "She should be back, it's not like her to be late, at all," replied Spike, looking concerned. Dom T had a gut feeling that something bad had happened to Twilight. Why isn't she back yet? It's not like Fluttershy lives on the other side of the world. "Spike, I might go outside and look for her," said Dom T. "Go ahead, I'm getting sleepy. Fluttershy lives in a cottage with grass all over the roof and heaps of bird houses in the trees around it, there is a small bridge leading to her house with a stream underneath it. I'll more than likely be sleeping when you come back so please don't make too much noise getting through the door," explained Spike as he yawned. "Ok thanks," said Dom T as he walked out the door. Dom T felt the sudden cold night breeze as he stepped outside. "Twilight Sparkle, you better not have tried that stupid spell again," Dom T mumbled to himself. Feeling slightly worried, he started walking, which somehow helped him feel less concerned about Twilight. He had no clue where he was going, but he recalled overhearing Fluttershy saying she lived near the Everfree Forest. He started feeling tired, cold and lost, looking for what Spike described, he listened very carefully for water streams, but only heard crickets and the odd hoot of an owl. Dom T had no idea where he was standing but he was definitely a long way from Spike and Twilight Sparkles place by now. "What if Twilight Sparkle is back home and I'm looking for nothing?" he thought feeling annoyed. He suddenly stood up straight when he heard the faint sound of hooves trotting towards him. "Twilight?" Dom T asked out loud before getting tackled off his hooves. "Watch out, man! Do I really blend in with the night that well!?" shouted Dom T. He looked and saw that it was Twilight Sparkle, right on top of him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, Dom!" gasped Twilight. "Why are you out here anyway?" she asked, in a tone like she already knew. "Oh I was just, I needed fresh air!" Dom T lied, faking a smile while getting back up. "Really now?" asked Twilight who knew Dom T was lying. "Yeah, nothing beats the fresh breeze on a clear night," said Dom T comfortably. "Yes, Dom, it's a beautiful night, but you came looking for me didn't you?" asked Twilight. "Or maybe I just needed to go for a walk," Dom T said stubbornly. "It's ok, Dom, you can tell me if you were concerned that I didn't come home, you were worrying about me, weren't you?" said Twilight Sparkle calmly. "Um, what took you so long, Twilight? Spike got worried but he couldn't be bothered searching for you, so he got me to do it!" Dom T said trying to change the subject. "I just needed to calm Fluttershy down after she stood on a dead rabbit while we were walking back to her place, don't worry it wasn't one of her pet rabbits, but she felt very bad after standing on it," Twilight explained. "And I would have to see it to believe that Spike was worried, he never worries about me," Twilight sighed. "He did worry about you the night you failed with that spell and got rushed to hospital! He was worried sick for you, Twilight!" burst Dom T, getting chills and pain in the stomach at the awful memory. "Okay Twilight, I did come looking for you because, I thought you might have tried that spell and hurt yourself again!" said Dom T, feeling bad about denying it. "I... 'sigh', thank you, Dom. It truly means a lot that you worry about me. Spike just never takes me seriously, but I guess it's fair, I spend more time studying than I do with him," Twilight said as she started crying. "Are you okay, Twilight?" Dom T said, he just noticed they were already back at her house. Twilight entered her house, followed by Dom T. Spike was fast asleep. "Twilight? Can you please get me back to my world?" Dom T asked impatiently. "I do know of one spell that can do that, but I can't promise it will work, I'll try it tomorrow, I'm just too tired tonight," said Twilight in a shaky voice. "Ok, I'm very sorry about not telling you that I was worried about you, Twilight," said Dom T. "It's alright, Dom, every pony lies about how they really feel, even I do sometimes," said Twilight as she quickly turned and walked up to her room. "Glad that's all over, now I can sleep," Dom T said in his head as he got into his bed. The next day, Dom T woke up to see Twilight Sparkle standing by his bed smiling, with her large purple eyes staring at him. He got a small fright but he wasn't too shocked. "Rise and shine! I got the spell all worked out, the one that takes ponies back to where they originally came from, so you should be able to get back home," cheered Twilight. "That's awesome!" said Dom T excitedly. Twilight Sparkle suddenly looked sad and her eyes started watering. "Are you ok, Twilight? What's wrong?" asked Dom T. "I will..." Twilight let out a huge sigh. "You will what, sorry?" asked Dom T, very confused. "I, um..." Twilight said quietly as she struggled to hold her sorrow in. "I'LL MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Twilight let out as she gave Dom T a very tight hug and burst in to tears, crying heavily, waking Spike up. "What the... yep, you do need help..." Spike mumbled as he got up and went to write a letter to Princess Celestia. "Twilight, I didn't know you would be so sad that I'm leaving, I can stay a bit longer if you really..." Dom T was interrupted suddenly by Twilight. "No, if you don't want to be here, I understand, you belong somewhere else, and you would much rather be back home," Twilight sobbed as she slowly unwrapped her arms around Dom T. "No, it's not all that bad here, I actually enjoy being with you, but I just need to go back to where I came from," Dom T explained to Twilight who understood Dom T. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Spike grumbled. Spike opened the door and got quite a surprise. "Oh, hello! You're here already?" He said nervously. There stood, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Rarity and a white Alicorn with a mane and tail that was blue, green and pink in colour and it was swaying. "Hello Spike, I got your letter so I came as quickly as possible since I have no plans today," said the white Alicorn softly. "Sure! Come in!" greeted Spike happily. "Princess Celestia? What are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked the white alicorn, surprised. "Twilight Sparkle, Spike sent me a letter moments ago. I came with your friends here to tell Dom T that he will always be welcome here in Equestria," said Princess Celestia calmly. "Does that mean I can come back?" asked Dom T. "Yes, use this whenever you want to visit Equestria and see your Ponyville friends," Princess Celestia said as she gave Dom T a small cube with two buttons on each side of it. "This is the key to Equestria, pressing the green button will take you home, and pressing the yellow one will bring you back here," Princess Celestia instructed. "So I don't have to try this risky portal spell on him?" asked Twilight Sparkle cheering up. "No need, Twilight, anyway casting a spell like this one could be fatal to any pony in it's path," replied Princess Celestia. Twilight Sparkle sighed in relief. Dom T thought he could just push the button right away, but once he had the chance, he felt very unsure about it. "I'm actually sad that I'm leaving," said Dom T sadly. "I think what you need is a photo with your new friends that you can take back with you," Princess Celestia said, holding a camera with her magic horn. "Yeah, why not," said Dom T smiling. He stood with all six ponies and Spike while Princess Celestia took a photo of them. "Here you go Dom, take care now," said Princess Celestia as she gave Dom T the photo. "One question, will I feel any pain when I press this button?" asked Dom T. "You shouldn't feel a thing, I promise you, you'll be safe," Princess Celestia reassured him in a comforting tone. "Well, I guess this is it, I had a very interesting time here, and I will definitely come back sometime to catch up with you all, but I have to get back home now, I'll see you later," said Dom T. All the ponies said goodbye to Dom T happily. "Good luck, Dom T," said Princess Celestia. "Ok here it goes..." Dom T took one last look at the mane six, Spike and Princess Celestia as he pushed the green button, holding onto the photo tightly. Dom T instantly felt like he was falling and blacked out. About five seconds later he got all his feeling back and slowly opened his eyes. And he happened to be still on the floor in the living room, holding something that shot out of the TV in the power surge. He took a closer look at it and realised it was the Equestria key that Princess Celestia gave him. He looked at the clock, it was 7:25am, and the weather was exactly how it was before, so to Dom T's shock it was still the same day. He then looked at the photo to see if it was still the cartoon ponies, and it was, even he was still a pony in the photo. He remembered every detail of what happened in Equestria as if it was a couple of minutes ago. He got up onto his two legs, in slight pain, he put the photo and the key to Equestria in a safe place in his room. He was exhausted and went back to bed. "That 25 minutes felt more like 25 days, well, it's good to be back home," Dom T said to himself.
Dom T Arrives In EquestriaSo it was just another ordinary day in Equestria, Twilight Sparkle doing her usual intense reading and studying, Rainbow Dash doing her usual flying tricks and trying to impress others with her awesomeness, Apple Jack doing her usual apple tree bucking at Sweet Apple Acres and Pinkie Pie at Sugar Cube Corner, bending the laws of physics yet again with her crazy, mysterious talents that no one else knew how to perform. Every pony was just doing their everyday routine, unaware of what the next moment would bring. Meanwhile in the real world, the sky was covered in dark grey clouds, rain poured down heavily, thunder roared loudly and the sky was flashing with bright lightning. It was 7:00am and a boy called Dom T was preparing for his day, he turned on TV and as shocked as he was, his old favourite cartoon came on. My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic was back on TV! "Oh rats" he thought when he realised a coupled of his friends were going to go on and on about it again. Suddenly an incredibly loud clap of thunder rattled the whole house and a massive power surge caused all the lights to blow out, and something completely unreal happened. Dom T was watching the TV as the screen went incredibly bright and lightning like rays shot out directly at him, and somehow, Dom T vanished into thin air. Then that exact moment in Ponyville, this male Earth Pony with a dark brown coat, brown eyes, a black mane and a black tail appeared. He had a cutie mark of what looked to be a photo of Dom T. "Oh crap! what was that!" shouted Dom T in fright. "Why is everything so bright and colourful?" he asked himself. Dom T sat up and saw ponies from MLP trotting around happily. "Wait a minute..." he thought as he slowly looked at his hands. As frightened as he already was, he jumped in fright when he saw that he had no fingers or toes, just hooves. Then he slowly walked up to a nearby store window to see if he looked the same, he froze for a moment when he saw a cartoon pony version of him as his reflection. At this point, he realised exactly what happened. Dom T then started looking nervous as though he was up to something that would cause trouble, but again he was obviously new to Ponyville, as proved when a happy pink pony with a curly pink mane and tail happily welcomed him. "Hello, I've never seen you before, I'm Pinkie Pie!" said Pinkie Pie in her usual over excited tone. The brown stallion just stood there and looked very confused, wondering if this was actually happening or not. Pinkie Pie walked closer to him. "What's your name?" she asked in curiosity. "I'm Dom T," replied the stallion. He started to look concerned when he realised he was talking to a fictional character. His thought's were soon interrupted by Pinkie Pie's loud high pitch laughing. "That's a silly name for a pony, Dom T!" she laughed with a bright smile on her face. "So is Pinkie Pie!" Dom T quickly replied with a cheeky grin. Followed by awkward silence, soon to be broken by a familiar southern voice. "Howdy Pinkie!" said an orange Earth Pony with a blond mane and tail wearing a brown hat. Before Dom T could even start to think what was happening, Pinkie Pie cheered, "Hello, Apple Jack! This is my new friend Dom T! Dom T this is my friend Apple Jack!" Things are getting weirder as each second passed, Dom T thought. "Hey there, Dom T, ahm Apple Jack! Nice ta meet ya!" she said as she firmly shook the brown ponies hoof, just like a normal handshake. "'Sup, Apple Jack," Dom T replied in a confused tone, seriously uncomfortable talking to fictional cartoons. He didn't like at all where this was going, so he tried to think of something to get him out of this painful situation, but his thoughts were interrupted constantly by Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack trying to get a word out of him. He then just shouted, "Oh rats, I'm late!" And then ran away from those two ponies as fast as he could. When he ran out of breath he turned to look back and to his delightful surprise, no pony was to be seen following him. It worked! he said in his mind. As relieved as he was to get away from Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack, he still didn't know what he was going through. Was he in a nightmare that felt very realistic, or did he some how find out a way to travel into a digital cartoon without knowing it. Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack stood there surprised on how quickly Dom T galloped off. "Did ah say somethin' wrong?" Apple Jack curiously asked Pinkie Pie, both ponies still staring in the distance. "Hahaha don't be silly, Apple Jack! He's new here, of course he's shocked!" said Pinkie Pie with a rather suspicious smile growing across her face. Dom T continued to explore Ponyville, as well as keeping dead alert for any surprises. He then froze for a moment when he heard multiple voices coming from a distance, they sounded like young fillies. Their cheerful voices grew louder and louder until out of nowhere three fillies, one on a scooter and the other two in a small trailer getting pulled by the scooter crashed right into Dom T. He went flying three metres from where he was standing. "Woooaaahhh!" shouted all three fillies as they collided with the pony. "I'm ok!" shouted Dom T loudly before getting back up on all fours. Winded and in pain, one of the fillies who was a white unicorn with a curly pink and purple mane and tail was struggling to stand back up. "Oh no! We're so so sorry!" cried the white unicorn. Quickly followed by a more angrier rather than sulky toned voice. "Watch out dude! You could have badly hurt us!" Which came from an orange pegasus with a purple mane and tail. Another injured Earth pony filly with a yellow coat, a redish pink mane and tail with a pink bow in her mane struggled to get back up. "Are ya a'right there?" she asked in a southern accent, just like Apple Jacks. "Yeah, I'm ok, just a little hurt," replied the white unicorn wiping a tear from her eye. By this point Dom T was sure he had gone completely insane, he felt bad for not helping any of the injured fillies, but at the same time he didn't have any clue if this was really happening or if it was all in his head. He was yet again distracted when he realised one of the fillies was talking to him. "Ahm very sorry 'bout what happened, are ya a'right?" He looked down to find a huge pair of orange eyes staring at him, the yellow earth pony was standing right in front of him. "I'm fine, don't worry about it," replied Dom T with hesitation. "Well, ahm Apple Bloom by the way!" said the yellow filly in a sudden happier tone. "This is Scootaloo," she said as she pointed to the orange pegasus, "and this is Sweetie Belle," she then pointed at the white unicorn who waved back at Dom T. Dom T just stood there and painfully faked a smile. "I gotta go," he said with an intense fake grin across his face. "Laters!" he shouted and he galloped off again. The three fillies stood there and watched as Dom T gapped it. "Did ya'll see his cutie mark?" Apple Bloom asked her two friends. "I saw something, but I didn't pay much interest in it," replied Scootaloo. "I saw what looked like a Chimpanzee's face grinning at me!" giggled Sweetie Belle. "Ya gals don't get what ahm askin' do ya? Don't ya think his cutie mark was a bit too detailed ta be real?" asked Apple Bloom. "Cutie marks have no more than three colours in em!" she added. "Rainbow Dash's cutie mark has four colours!" replied Scootaloo quickly. "Four colours can be possible, but this 'Dom T' pony had a cutie mark that has even more detail than anything in Equestria! Ya know that ain't a real cutie mark right? It just can't be!" said Apple Bloom. The three fillies were now real curious on what his real cutie mark is. Slowing down his pace, Dom T was surprised how easily he could ditch other ponies, and for the first time, he was actually smiling. But not for long as he realised where he ended up running to. "Oh ratchet," he said to himself when he knew that he ran right back to where he first started, and as if on cue, Pinkie Pie trotted on her hind legs, playing multiple instruments at once, sounding like a parade. "Welcome to Ponyville, Dom T!" she shouted happily. "Get rekt," said Dom T under his breath. Dom T then turned to the right and saw a purple unicorn with a dark bluish purple mane and tail walking in his direction. Dom T tried to pretend he didn't see her, unfortunately he couldn't ignore her once she started talking to him. "Hello, my name is Twilight Sparkle, welcome to Ponyville, Dom T!" greeted the purple unicorn. Dom T stood there with a shocked look on his face. "Wait, how did you know my name?" he asked, wanting to punch himself for talking to fictional candy coloured ponies. "Oh! Pinkie Pie told me, she knows the names of every pony in Ponyville," replied Twilight Sparkle. Then out of nowhere a slightly squeaky voice said "Well, if it isn't another new pony moving in!" Dom T turned around and saw a light blue pegasus with a rainbow coloured mane and tail smiling at him. "Rainbow Dash?" Dom T said in a quiet whisper. "That's me! Only the coolest most awesome pegasus in Equestria!" said Rainbow Dash who suddenly looked a bit surprised. "Huh? Um, did you just say my name, dude?" she asked Dom T in a nervous voice. Dom T knew either way this wasn't going to end well. "Maybe I did, maybe I didn't," he said. Feeling a bit guilty he quickly said "Ok I did! I know most of your names, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy," he said as he pointed at the nearest ponies around him. "Oh and you, I uhh, I don't know, sorry," He said pointing at a white unicorn with a dark purple mane and tail, with a rather disgusted look growing on her face. "Well pardon me mister Dom T! I am Rarity! Now do you know me? Good!" said the white unicorn, angrily stomping off. Dom T put a hoof over his mouth to prevent him from laughing out loud at Rarity's reaction. Then a light yellow pegasus pony with a light pink mane and tail walked up to Dom T, she looked very scared and unsure whether to keep walking closer to him or not. Unfortunately for Dom T this made things more awkward. Since he felt incredibly uncomfortable talking to animated ponies, he didn't know if he should say hi first or just wait for this pegasus to talk first. She stood the looking at him for a moment before she could say anything. Dom T knew she was there but he tried not to let this bother him. He was finally about to turn around to speak to her, when the pegasus beat him to it. "Um, e-excuse me?" she asked in a very quiet soft voice. Dom T knew she was talking to him. "May I uh, ask how you um, how you know m-my name? If you um, d-don't mind?" asked the yellow pegasus, she sounded more horrified as she spoke. Dom T didn't know what to say, these digital ponies clearly had feelings, but that didn't stop him from thinking he had gone bonkers in the head. "I watched your show on TV," he replied dumbly. Incredibly confused, the yellow pegasus just quietly said "Oh, ok then," and slowly walked away, smiling nervously back at Dom T.
First Night of InsanityIn the real world, Dom T didn't really care much for MLP these days, but being zapped into the show itself was a whole new level of madness. Is this how he's going to live the rest of his life? Is he even still alive? So many questions just flowed in and out of his head. It was getting darker, and Dom T had no where to sleep, nor did he feel safe asking any of the ponies. The temperature dropped rapidly by the second, the sun had just gone under the horizon, with the moon rising at the other end of the sky. The temperature was so cold, Dom T had intense numbness in his legs. He trotted to the nearest house, which looked like a massive tree house from closer up. He couldn't take much more of the cold as his skin felt like it was blistering. Dom T impatiently knocked on the door of the tree house, and with a surprise it wasn't a pony who answered the door, it was a small purple dragon with green spines. "So the new pony came to stay here did he?" He said smiling. Dom T wasn't sure what to say so he just nodded his head in agreement. "Well, if you really need to, you can stay here, make yourself at home, anyway, what's your name?" The dragon asked anxiously. "I'm Dom T," Dom T replied dumbly. "Dom T ay? Well, I am Spike!" said the dragon in a more cheerful tone. Dom T heard the sound of hooves trotting towards him, and with no surprise it was Twilight Sparkle. "Hi, Dom T, may I help you with something?" asked Twilight curiously. Dom T was about to answer but he was suddenly interrupted by Spike. "He has no where else to stay, so I figured he can stay here with us?" Spike replied. Twilight looked slightly annoyed. "Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to have another pony stay with us for a night," sighed Twilight in agreement. "Why what's the matter, Twilight?" Spike asked as he walked up to her. "It's nothing, Spike, please don't worry about it!" Twilight said uncomfortably as she walked up to her room. "Twilight, you can tell me, I'm your number one assistant! Oh, come on, Twilight!" Spike said as he followed her. "Spike please leave me alone, I have study to catch up on, now please, go away!" Twilight said raising her voice. "All right, whatever you say, Twilight, if you don't want to talk about it, just let it bother you," Spike happily said as he walked back into the entrance where Dom T was standing. Dom T looked rather confused. "What was her problem?" he asked Spike in a quiet voice. "I wish I knew, she has her moments, she temporarily kicked me out of her room only a week ago, now I have to sleep in here and speaking of sleep I could really used a nap right now, it's been a big day!" Spike said as he yawned. "Tell me about it," replied Dom T. "Maybe tomorrow..." mumbled Spike as he drifted off to sleep. "Hey, where am I supposed to sleep?" Dom T asked sharply. "Um, Spike?" he added, regretting talking to a cartoon again. "Go ask Twilight, I'm out," Spike mumbled. Dom T was feeling annoyed because no one showed where he was sleeping, he was very tired, his eyes were closing, but he tried to stay awake. He couldn't just sleep on the ground, it was freezing and too uncomfortable, he then gulped as he headed up towards Twilight Sparkles room. He was very nervous but without too much time wasting, he knocked on the door, which sounded a lot louder than he expected. Dom T waited and waited for a reply, he knocked again, louder this time. "Ugh! Spike, what is it that you don't understand about 'privacy' I need to be alone for this, I'm sorry!" Twilight said in a sharp tone. "It's Dom T here, Spike's asleep," Dom T said yawning afterwards. There was no reply. "Um, is there anywhere here I can sleep?" Dom T asked hesitantly. Dom T waited for a response from the unicorn, but there was still no reply. "What are you up to!?" asked Dom T impatiently. "Twilight? Twilight? Twilight? Twilight?" Dom T then kept asking as he continuously knocked on her door. "Hold on, Dom T, I need to concentrate! This spell I'm practising can be very risky!" Twilight said in an annoyed voice. Dom T was dosing off then he fell into the door and hit his head against it with a loud THUD and sprung back up in shock when he heard a scream coming from Twilights room, he then quickly swung open the door. Dom T saw something that he didn't like the look of. "Twilight? Are you ok?" asked Dom T, panicking. He rushed over to Twilight Sparkle who looked badly hurt and very pale. "H-help me... I..." Twilight said in a very quiet whisper. Dom T couldn't help but feel worried about this cartoon pony. He then attempted to lift her back into her bed, and he had to walk up stairs to get to it. This was a painful choice for Dom T, who was so tired that he could fall asleep any second, but he succeeded. Dom T stared at the Unicorn for a bit, but he then punched himself in the face hard when he realised it, and to wake himself up a bit more. "Are you ok, Twilight?" he asked, slowly getting used to talking to cartoons. "I need to finish..." Twilight mumbled. Dom T spotted a large cut on Twilights hoof, just before he discovered that he was standing in blood from the mare. He quickly rushed down to get Spike, he would know what to do. "I'll be back soon, Twilight!" Dom T said. What was happening to Twilight? What was happening to him? Dom T just couldn't get his head around anything, but now was not the time to think. "Spike!" Dom T shouted trying to wake Spike up. "Spike, wake up, man!" Spike was still in deep sleep, so Dom T woke Spike up by spilling cold water on him. "Hey, what was that for?" growled Spike. "Twilight is badly hurt, I don't know what to do!" Dom T said urgently. "Oh, Twilight what have you done this time," muttered Spike as he immediately stood up and rushed up to Twilights bedroom. "Oh no, Twilight!?" Spike cried as he tried to get a response from her. "Spike, I-I need to..." Twilight mumbled. "Need to what?" Spike asked seriously. "T-take me to the... hospital.. right n-now..." Twilight mumbled a bit louder this time. Spike looked startled as he knew that Twilight had a fear of hospitals. Dom T finally fell asleep, on the staircase, but Spike shouted loud enough to wake him up. "Dom T! Can you give me a hand!? Now, would be good!" Dom T then stood up and sighed in anger as he walked up to Spike. "Twilight needs to go to hospital, you can carry her there, I'll show you the way!" Spike quickly said, panicking. Dom T at first thought this was some kind of joke, but the expression on Spikes face couldn't look more serious. "All right then, I'll take her," sighed Dom T as Spike lifted Twilight onto his back. As they left the tree house, the temperature suddenly dropped. Dom T's hooves started getting all numb, but he wasn't too cold as he was carrying Twilight on his back, and she felt as heavy as a bus. His tiredness only made it more difficult. Spike walked alongside with pure worry. Dom T was indeed struggling and was at the point where he would normally give up, but he wanted to push his limits. After what seemed to be two hours of fast, painful trotting, Spike said, "Well, here we are," Dom T jumped in surprise when he saw a massive building in front of him. "I knew that," He said as he walked inside. Just as they entered, a nurse, white pony with a pink mane and tail quickly rushed up to them. "Oh no, this is bad, she's been telling me about this dangerous spell she wanted to learn, and it's actually happening, oh no! Thank you so much for bringing her here," said Nurse Redheart who was panicking. "What's wrong with her?" asked Dom T. "No time to explain, we need to get her into care urgently!" said Nurse Redheart as she carefully lifted Twilight onto a hospital bed. "She's going to make it, right? RIGHT?!" asked Spike as his eyes watered. "We will just have to see what time brings," sighed Nurse Redheart sadly. Spike started running after Twilight but Nurse Redheart stopped him. Spike just dodged her and went straight after Twilight, crying. Dom T felt terrible, he realised he'd done nothing but caused trouble. Then a voice in his head whispered "Here's your chance of preventing trouble." and he saw Spike running after Twilight who was in a hospital bed getting pushed by hospital ponies. Dom T then darted directly passed Spike and blocked him from going any further. "Spike, come with me, man. Twilight will be all right," Dom T said as he carried Spike back to the waiting room. "Will I ever see Twilight Sparkle again?" asked Spike as he cried. "The only thing we have now is hope, Spike," said Nurse Redheart who gave a weak hopeful smile and walked off slowly. Dom T and Spike walked back to the tree house slowly. Spike calmed down as he walked back. Dom T was exhausted, and he saw the sun rising on the horizon. By time they got back home it was 6am, and Spike immediately ran to his bed and fell straight off to sleep. Dom T just sat down and looked out the window then he too fell asleep within ten minutes. Dom T was walking to the hospital with Spike to see what happened to Twilight Sparkle. They both enter the building to see an upset Nurse Redheart walking up to them. "Twilight Sparkle is gone she left at 6:36am, I am so sorry, we tried everything," she said in a shaky voice. Spike bursted into tears and punched the floor as hard as he could, causing a slight crack. Dom T froze, intense chill ran down his back and his mouth opened wide in shock, he couldn't help but feel responsible for Twilight Sparkles death. He just turned and walked out of the hospital, forgetting Spike. He was in the gloomiest mood of all time, the weather was terrible, thunder, lightning, strong winds and rain so heavy it hurt, but this didn't bother Dom T, since he was incredibly shocked how sad he was about a silly cartoon pony, but his sorrow became the better of him. He was losing his mind, he started running through the Everfree forest just wanting everything to return to normal. Dom T was running through the trees in the wind, the full moon was shining brightly as the sky quickly cleared. He suddenly stopped when he heard a voice call him. "Dom T!" "Who said that?" Dom T asked uncomfortably. He saw for himself as a dark blue Alicorn landed beside him, she had a blue mane and tail scattered with tiny white stars which were swaying with the wind. "I see you've been worrying about things a lot," she said comfortingly. Dom T didn't like where this was going, but he still thought this was the key to getting out of Equestria. "Are you, Princess Luna?" Dom T asked out of character. "As the Princess of the night, I'm here to help you," said the Alicorn sweetly. Dom T didn't understand any of this. "I killed Twilight Sparkle, and I never thought I'd say it but, I'm sorry, really sorry," Dom T never felt like this before, a mix of confusion, sorrow, anger, guilt and even home sickness. "No, no don't apologise, you are going through a lot of stress, you don't need to feel bad about yourself, it's not your fault. Twilight Sparkle is not dead, she'll be back home in roughly two days!" said Princess Luna. Dom T suddenly felt relieved, but not for long when he remembered what Nurse Redheart said at the hospital. "Twilight Sparkle died at 6:36am," Dom T sobbed. "That's what you heard, but it doesn't mean it's true. This is only another bad dream you're having, and from what you've been doing, the last thing you would want right now is Twilight Sparkle to die, and to be responsible for her death. That's what is playing on your mind, so that's why you're having this dream, Dom T," Luna explained. "Wait, this is just a dream?" Dom T said with a slight smile growing on his face. "Well, it's more like a nightmare, but you can say dream if that's what you want to call it, everything will work out for you! Good luck, Dom T," said Luna as she disappeared into the full moon.
The Truth AwaitsDom T woke up, freaking out, he was glad that it actually was just a dream, but annoyed that he was still a pony in Equestria and not back at home. It was 11:30am. He walked down to see if Spike was awake yet, but he was still fast asleep and snoring loudly. Dom T went for a walk outside, just to wake up a little bit. Ponies were already up and trotting around like nothing happened last night. In this place he had no money, no home and no friends, and just then he thought of Twilight Sparkle and what happened to her. Dom T turned around to walk back and see if Spike was awake, until he heard Pinkie Pie. "Hello, Dom T! Watcha doing!?" asked Pinkie Pie happily. "Just seeing if Spike woke up yet, I had to sleep there, I had no where else," sighed Dom T. Pinkie Pie suddenly looked worried. "You look like you didn't sleep at all," said Pinkie Pie, "Hey, do you want to eat at Sugar Cube Corner!?" Pinkie suddenly looked happy again. "I could use something to eat, but I have no money," Dom T said looking at the ground. "I'll cheer you up! I'll give you a free cupcake! You know you want one!" Pinkie Pie said quickly. "Are you really giving me something for free?" Dom T asked interested. "Of course! You have no bits to buy anything with, and I am one of your best friends! Why not? Eating will turn your frown upside down!" Pinkie chirped. "Ok then," Dom T agreed as he and Pinkie Pie walked to Sugar Cube Corner. Pinkie Pie was saying "Hello!" to every pony she trotted passed, smiling. Dom T was just worried about Twilight more than anything, how would Pinkie Pie react if she finds out? he thought. His thoughts were cleared as Pinkie Pie cheered, "Here we are!" Dom T looked up and what he saw made him more hungrier the longer he looked at it. A building that looked like it was made purely out of candy. "I am hungry now," said Dom T quietly. "What are you waiting for, Dom T, Come on!" Pinkie Pie shouted. "All right, I'm coming," Dom T said. As he walked inside Pinkie Pie already had a cupcake made for him at a table. "Here ya go! Eating this will surely put a smile on your dial!" said Pinkie Pie as she gave Dom T a cupcake. "Um, thanks," Dom T said. He took a bite of the cupcake and it tasted a lot better than he expected, he actually liked it. "What's wrong? You look sad," Pinkie said. "Oh, it's nothing, this cupcake is delicious!" said Dom T, trying to change the subject. "What's wrong, Dom T, you can tell me, I am your friend, right?" Pinkie Pie asked in concern. Dom T finished the cupcake and wiped his mouth. "I had the worst night in a long time," he said. Pinkie Pie started looking more concerned. "Are you sure, tell me what it is that's upsetting you, you will feel better once you get it off your chest," Pinkie Pie said comforting him. "I can't, you won't like it, I'm telling you right now. I need to get back to Spike, he'll be wondering why I left him alone," said Dom T. Pinkie Pie then looked very worried. "What happened with Twilight Sparkle?" Pinkie Pie said softly. Dom T felt his eyes water, all he wanted to do now was cry, but he didn't want Pinkie Pie to see him crying. "Twilight Sparkle? She's fine!" Dom T's voice was shaky as he tried to hold back his tears. Pinkie Pie then gave him a small hug. "It's ok if you tell me, I know how hard it is to let it out, but just try," Pinkie Pie in this caring, calm mood didn't seem right, at all. "Why do you think Twilight has something to do with it?" Dom T asked curiously. "Well, when you said you needed to get back to Spike, he'll wonder why you left him alone, since Twilight lives with him she would normally be with Spike," Pinkie Pie explained. Dom T heavily sighed in defeat as he stood up. "Twilight got taken to hospital last night, Spike and I should visit her," he explained. "Can I please come with you?" Pinkie Pie asked with slight hesitation. "Sure, why not," said Dom T. Dom T entered Twilights house and saw that Spike woke up. "Hey, there you are, did you just visit Twilight without me?" Spike asked in a serious tone. "No, I was just hungry," said Dom T as Pinkie Pie walked in. "Oh hey, Pinkie Pie, Twilights not here," Spike said as his eyes watered. "Hello, Spike!" cheered Pinkie Pie, "What happened to Twilight? Is she ok?" Pinkie Pie asked Spike. Spike shrugged his shoulders. "No one knows, all I know is Dom T went to ask her something and he found her injured on the floor in her room," "Shouldn't we visit her?" Pinkie Pie asked. "That's why I'm standing here waiting!" Spike said standing outside the door. As the three were walking to the hospital, Dom T still felt like he didn't fit in, but he felt like he had new friends, they were fictional and animated, but he tried his best not to let this get to him, instead he tried to see it as another normal day in the life of Dom T. "Say, have any of you experienced Princess Luna visiting you dreams?" Dom T asked out of the blue. "Who hasn't these days?" Spike replied. "When I have nightmares that start off scary, but get scarier and scarier until they are so scary I want to wake up, but no matter how hard I try I can't wake myself up, I see Princess Luna fly down from the moon! She helped me become the brave Pinkie Pie I am now!" Pinkie Pie said happily. Dom T looked relieved that he wasn't the only one, but he was still a tad curious. "When Luna visits you in your dreams, does she actually come inside them, or is it all in your head?" Dom T asked both Spike and Pinkie. "I haven't really thought about that to be completely honest," Spike said curiously. "I think she has the power to enter more than one dream at once, because there can't be only one pony in Equestria having a nightmare each night because that would be silly!" Pinkie Pie explained, only confusing Dom T even more. Dom T started feeling more and more nervous as he, Spike and Pinkie Pie approached the hospital, which looked a lot smaller during the day, but the area around it still vividly reminded him of last night and even the dream he had. The three walked in the hospital, Dom T hoping that this won't turn out badly, like his dream did. Pinkie Pie went up and asked, "We're here to visit Twilight Sparkle!" The pony behind the desk looked up at Pinkie Pie. "Twilight Sparkle? She's in room number 6, to your right," said the pony. "Okie dokie lokie!" chirped Pinkie Pie, who looked excited to see Twilight. They head towards a door with the number 6 on it, as they walked in, Dom T felt his stomach drop, he couldn't help himself feeling guilty. "Twilight!? You're awake!" Spike said in a slightly croaky voice. "Hey Spike, it's so lovely of you to visit me, thank you," Twilight said just above a whisper. Pinkie Pie had a huge smile across her face as she saw Twilight Sparkle. "How did you end up here?" Pinkie Pie asked with extreme curiosity. "I don't really know, for certain, but I do know one thing..." she turned to Dom T who looked awfully sorry. "Dom T saved my life, if it wasn't for this stallion here, I wouldn't be talking right now! I can't thank you enough, you saved my life," Twilight said happily with her eyes watering. Dom T looked puzzled, but when he thought of it he did actually save her. "Sorry about dosing off and hitting my head on the door, making you..." Dom T was interrupted as Twilight explained as she started remembering what happened. "It wasn't the bang on the door that made me sick, I would've ended up like this either way. I was trying a new magic spell, one that would allow me to shape shift into anything I wanted, but I it messed up, and it some how rebounded back at me, if you hadn't found me, I would be dead by now. Thank you so much, Dom T!" Twilight Sparkle had tears in her eyes. "What about that cut on your hoof? How did that get there?" Dom T asked calmly. "That's just a nasty paper cut from a book, it's okay," Twilight said quietly. Dom T just sat down in a seat beside Twilight, who put her hoof on his. "Thank you, so much," she whispered. Spike stood there, wide eyed, mouth open. "Hey, give me some credit, I showed Dom T the right directions to the hospital, so I too saved your life!" Spike said stubbornly. Twilight suddenly felt bad for Spike. "Thank you, Spike, you really did save me, please forgive me, I'm only just recovering, I should be out in two days," Twilight's voice was as quiet, if not quieter than Fluttershys voice. Pinkie Pies eyes watered as she hugged Dom T randomly. "Thank you, thank you, thank you, for saving Twilight Sparkle!!!" Pinkie Pie said quickly letting go of him. "Sorry about the sudden hug, I'm just so happy!" Pinkie said with an awkward giggle. Dom T didn't mind at this point, he was just happy Twilight was okay. "All goods," he said in reply to Pinkie Pie. "Dom T, I am sorry for telling you to go away, I should of helped you. That spell is a very complicated one and it can be very risky, it's best to be done in a room alone for safety reasons. I'd just only hope you can forgive me?" Twilight Sparkles eyes were watering faster now. Dom T felt how bad the purple unicorn felt about how she spoke to him last night, so he simply accepted her apology. "It's ok, you were busy trying a new, spell or whatever," Dom T said. "I guess everything's settled then," Spike said happily. Dom T just then recalled what Princess Luna said to him in his nightmare. "Everything will work out for you, Good luck, Dom T!" That one sentence kept repeating in his head, he then looked at Twilight who smiled back at him. "Everything worked out well," Dom T said to himself with a smile on his face.
Call Me DomIt has been two days since Twilight Sparkle nearly died, Dom T stayed with Spike and Twilight in the tree house library. It was just another day, not much to do so he went for a walk. "I'll be back later!" said Dom T. "Goodbye, Dom T!" said Twilight as she happily waved at him. "Dom T sounds a bit weird, you can just call me Dom for now!" Dom T said as he left. "Ok, Dom it is!" Twilight laughed, waving goodbye. He was walking around, hoping not to bump into Pinkie Pie again, because he just knew she would never leave him alone. A loud clap of thunder suddenly made Dom T jump in fright, he looked up and saw Rainbow Dash on a dark grey cloud laughing. "What are you up to!?" snapped Dom T as he looked at Rainbow Dash angrily. Rainbow just smiled nervously. Dom T now understanding that it was just a joke, played along. "Good one, Rainbow," Dom T said. "Good? Don't you mean awesome!?" Rainbow Dash shouted, flying down to Dom T. "Yeah I guess so," Dom T said, a bit confused. "What brings you here anyway, Dom T, I haven't seen you around much," said Rainbow Dash. "You can just call me Dom," Dom T replied. "Well, Dom!" Rainbow Dash chuckled at the sound of the name. "Woah! Nice cutie mark, what is your special talent? It looks so interesting!" Dom T looked very confused, trying to figure out what Rainbow Dash was talking about. "Sorry? cutie what now?" asked Dom T. "Your cutie mark!" Rainbow dash said pointing at a cloud with a red, yellow and blue lightning bolt on her flank. "Isn't it awesome?" Rainbow Dash whispered still pointing at her cutie mark. "Uh yeah, mine is just a photo of me," said Dom T quietly. Dom T saw Pinkie Pie in the distance bouncing his way. "Oh rats, I just remembered, I gotta go to, um, somewhere, talk to you later, Rainbow!" he said as he ran off leaving Rainbow Dash confused, then she figured out why, when Pinkie Pie jumped by. "Hello Rainbow Dash! Have you seen Dom T anywhere? I'm looking for him!" Pinkie chirped. "Yeah I did, he went off, that way," Rainbow Dash said pointing in the same direction Dom T went. "Thank you Rainbow Dash!" Pinkie Pie said as she happily bounced off. "Pinkie wait up! I need to..." Rainbow Dash called as she dashed after Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie Pie! Wait!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "What's up, Rainbow Dash?" Pinkie Pie said happily. "May I ask you, why do you need to see Dom, I think he's trying to get away from you, Pinkie Pie," Rainbow said. Pinkie Pies face went all cold and sad. "Does he 'gulp' hate me?" said Pinkie as her eyes watered with tears. "Relax Pinkie Pie, he said he needed to go somewhere," said Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie lightened up a little. "Where did he go?" she asked. "He didn't say where he was going, Pinkie, but he darted off that way," said Rainbow Dash, directing Pinkie Pie where Dom T ran off too again. "Okie dokie lokie!" Pinkie Pie said as she happily bounced off. Dom T had been running for a while, and he had no clue where he was. There were apple trees surrounding him and he saw a red barn in the distance. As he walked towards the red barn he picked an apple from a nearby tree. "I wonder if these taste like real apples." he thought as he took a bite. Dom T was surprised, these apples tasted the same, if not better than real apples, just as he finished he threw the core as far as he could. Dom T got a small fright when he heard a familiar voice. "Howdy, Dom T, welcome to Sweet Apple Acres! The finest place in Equestria!" said Apple Jack who was standing right by him, carrying two baskets of apples on her back. Before Dom T could say anything, Apple Jack said "Ya look all worn out, did ya run all the way over here, sugar cube?" "Just Pinkie Pie, she never leaves me alone," sighed Dom T. Apple Jack looked very surprised as she and Dom T started walking towards the barn. "Did you just... get away from Pinkie Pie?" Apple Jack asked in such shock. "Yeah I did, twice!" said Dom T, faking a smile. "How in Equestria did you... ah mean... Rainbow Dash couldn't even escape that pony! Ah do remember when ya ran away from Pinkie and I, some days ago, and she went after you, so... I thought, she would've found ya," Apple Jack kept stumbling on her words. "Ah just can't believe you were able to get away from Pinkie Pie, Dom T!" Apple Jack added quietly. "Just call me Dom, and is it really that hard, to hide from Pinkie Pie?" Dom T asked as they entered the farm. "Well, ah must say, runnin' away from Pinkie Pie, is kinda like, say, runnin' away from ya own shadow on a fine sunny day, ya just can't do it, no matter how hard ya try!" Apple Jack explained. "If you went in a shady place, you can't see your shadow," said Dom T. "Hmm... Make it that there ain't no shade apart from ya own shadow, it ain't as easy as ya may think," Apple Jack said, winking her eye. Just as they walked up to the barn, Rainbow Dash flew down to them. "So what have you guys been doing?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Howdy Rainbow, ahm just talkin' with mah new friend, Dom here, who claims he is able to ditch Pinkie Pie!" Rainbow Dash opened her mouth wide and her right eye twitched. "You mean, she isn't here?" Rainbow Dash gasped. "Nope, ah don't see Pinkie around here at all!" Apple Jack said. Both of the mares turned to Dom T, who didn't like the feeling of two pairs of large sparkly eyes staring at him. "Yes?" said Dom T awkwardly. "How do you do it?" asked Rainbow Dash quietly. "Just run in the opposite direction, fast!" said Dom T. "How fast!?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Very fast," said Dom T. "How about I challenge you to a race then?" said Rainbow Dash. "Are you kidding me? You are Rainbow Dash though!" said Dom T. "Oh I can go easy on you, but I'll get bored doing that, I wanna see how fast you are, Dom!" Rainbow said, stretching her wings. "Um, Rainbow, Dom is an Earth Pony, he ain't got any wings!" said Apple Jack. "I'll fly, Dom can run, sounds fair to me!" shouted Rainbow Dash excitedly. "Ah suppose..." said Apple Jack, unsure about the idea. "Where are we racing to?" asked Dom T. "I don't know, Sugar Cube Corner sounds good," said Rainbow Dash, ready at the start line. Dom T and Rainbow Dash were both on the start line, feeling very confident about winning. "Well, AJ, what are you waiting for? Start the race!" shouted Rainbow Dash. Apple Jack laughed as she was sidetracked. "Hey, Apple Jack! Whatchya doin'?" said Apple Bloom, happily trotting towards Apple Jack. "Hey there, Apple Bloom! Ahm just racing these two ponies!" Apple Jack replied. "Ready? Set? Go!" chanted Apple Jack as she shot a gun into the air. Dom T and Rainbow Dash were off like bullets. "Hey, ah know that pony! He has a funny lookin' cutie mark, and he saved Twilight Sparkle!" said Apple Bloom. "And he might just be the first pony to beat Rainbow Dash in a race!" Apple Jack continued. "Are ya makin' that pony race Rainbow Dash?" asked Apple Bloom. "Well, he is the only pony that ah know of that can hide from Pinkie Pie, which ah thought was straight impossible," Replied Apple Jack Apple Bloom looked amazed. "Do ya mean Pinkie Pie as in, Sugar Cube Corner Pinkie Pie?" asked Apple Bloom with interest. "Yep, ah don't quite understand how he does it either," said Apple Jack, trying to figure it all out. Dom T was galloping faster than he ever did, pushing himself to his limit, he was able to keep up with Rainbow Dash fairly easily. Rainbow Dash looked down and saw that Dom T was passing her, she boosted passed him, but struggled to stay in first place. "How are you doing that!" she shouted. Dom T was too focused on winning to answer Rainbows question. "OH COME ON!!! THIS IS NEARLY SONIC RAINBOOM SPEED, DUDE!!!" shouted Rainbow Dash at the top of her lungs, causing her to slow down a little. Dom T was only half a metre behind Rainbow Dash, keeping his pace. Rainbow Dash, could see Sugar Cube Corner in the distance. "First place here I come!" shouted Rainbow Dash confidently. Dom T was losing his breath but he didn't let that slow him down one bit, once he saw the finish line he was boosting his speed. Rainbow Dash saw Dom T passing her, so she used up her last burst of energy and went flat out. Sugar Cube Corner was getting nearer by the second, Dom T saw Rainbow Dash struggling past him, and he was just about to pass the finish line when an incredibly loud BOOM! knocked him off his hooves. Dom T tumbled over rolling on the ground, he was now in extreme pain as he hit his head on the ground hard. He was lying flat on his back, out of breath, ears ringing loudly and injured, he opened his eyes and saw a massive Rainbow circle expanding across the sky. He thought he was seeing things, because he hit his head so hard, but it was Rainbow Dash who did the sonic rainboom while they were racing. He then saw a couple of ponies looking over him, talking to him, but the ringing of his ears was too loud to hear what they were saying. Then he saw one that looked like Rainbow Dash that was trying to get a word out of him, but his eye sight was all blurry and he suddenly felt dizzy. The pony who looked to be Rainbow Dash put her hoof on his head gently, then Dom T felt his dizziness get worse until a few seconds later, he closed his eyes and blacked out.
Dom T's Mysterious ArrivalDom T woke up in hospital, with a bandage around his head and all four legs. "Woah, what happened to me...?" asked Dom T as he started feeling the pain come through. "Oh thank goodness you're ok!" said no other than Twilight Sparkle, smiling in relief. "You were in quite a wreck dude!" said a happy Rainbow Dash, hovering slightly above the ground. Dom T's eye sight was clearer and his ears weren't ringing constantly any more. "Did I win the race?" asked Dom T. Rainbow Dash looked suddenly disappointed. "Dude, I don't know how you did it, but it was a tie! And when you fell over, that was my fault, I'm very sorry about that," Rainbow Dash explained. "Didn't I just trip over from running too fast?" asked Dom T. "No way, I was flying so fast to keep up with you, I managed a Sonic Rainboom!" said Rainbow Dash looking amazed. "Sonic Rainboom?" Dom T questioned. "Wait, was that the huge rainbow ring I saw, only seconds before I blacked out?" Dom T looked curious. "That would've been it!" Rainbow Dash said. "I saw the whole thing, Dom. I was at Sugar Cube Corner with Spike and Pinkie Pie, and then I heard this loud noise that shook the ground. I ran outside and saw you lying on your back, Pinkie and I rushed over to see if you were okay, and then Rainbow Dash flew down to you, scared that she'd lost... the race of course!" Twilight Sparkle explained to Dom T. "That was one race that I'll never forget!" said Rainbow Dash, smiling at Dom T. Ten days later, Dom T was free to leave the hospital. "I never thought I'd say this, ever. But thank you for keeping me company in there," Dom T said to Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Apple Jack who were walking with him. "Dom, how come you always run away from me, and when you run away from me, I can never find you, no matter how hard I try you always get away from me and that confuses me to no end!" asked Pinkie Pie. "I don't know how I do that myself," Dom T muttered. "Well, how ever you do it, it's so wickedly awesome!" Rainbow Dash said smiling. "Yeah I guess, everyone has their own talent," Dom T said. Dom T didn't feel right, his thoughts about who he's with, what he's doing, where he's at seemed to be all negative at this point. He was very happy that he could walk again, but how he actually got here in the first place is what bugged him the most. "Can I ask you um, ponies a question?" Dom T asked the four ponies around him. "Go ahead, sugar cube!" said Apple Jack happily. "Well, do any of you know exactly how I got here in the first place?" Dom T asked carefully. "I remember seeing you looking into a window and getting a fright, that's when I first saw you!" said Pinkie Pie. "Oh rats, you were the first pony out of the bunch to see me too," said Dom T, looking disappointed. "What's up, dude? Are you alright?" asked Rainbow Dash. "I am not meant to be here, with you, in Equestria, I belong in a different world," sighed Dom T in deep thought. Very confused, Twilight Sparkle somehow looked very concerned for Dom T. "You are meant to be here, Dom. You saved me from what would've been my death!" said Twilight Sparkle. Dom T looked at Twilight, her eyes were watering. "I just did what I thought was right, you know. I, I didn't want to lose you," Dom T said quietly. "It takes a lot of bravery for a pony to do what you did, especially if they are new to the place and don't know any of the ponies. We all need you here, Dom!" said Twilight Sparkle. "I'm nothing guys, you are four of the mane six ponies, I can't compare to you!" said Dom T. "We all know that ain't true!" burst Apple Jack. "You are pretty much as awesome as me!" shouted Rainbow Dash. Dom T didn't know what to do, he was now a friend of all of these ponies, but he didn't belong in this world. He stopped walking and started wondering how long he had been there for, but got disturbed when he felt a hoof tap his back, he turned around in surprise. "Oh sorry to bother you, darling. My apologies for what I said to you on your first day here in Equestria, I got a bit upset over you not knowing my name but knowing the names of the other five ponies," It was Rarity, the white unicorn who Dom T upset in his first day. "It's ok," Dom T mumbled, "Wait, five others?" Dom T looked confused as he counted them. "Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack and Rarity, wait where's um... oh what's her name...?" "Do you mean Fluttershy?" asked Rainbow Dash. "Yes, Fluttershy, that's her," said Dom T. "Well, you won't see her around as much, she barely leaves her house, and only does if she's playing with her animals outside, or if one of us goes to get her," explained Twilight Sparkle. "Hey, Dom, it's been a while!" said Spike happily, running up to him. "Hey Spike!" said Dom T, "I really need to go back," he sighed. "Go back to where?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Back to Earth," replied Dom T sadly. "This is Earth, Dom," said Apple Jack. "This is not the Earth I'm from," said Dom T Dom T then started walking towards Twilights tree house, with the other ponies following him. All the ponies, and even Spike looked very confused. "He's from a totally different Earth?" Spike asked Twilight. "Apparently so!" Twilight replied. "Aww, why so blue, Dom?" asked Pinkie Pie cheerfully. "I told you, I don't belong in this world of ponies," said Dom T. "See this thing here? That's me! That's who I am! That's what I look like!" said Dom T, pointing at his cutie mark, which was a photo of him as a human. "Well I must say, that cutie mark does look very unusual," said Spike. "Do any of you know what humans are?" asked Dom T in curiosity. "I think I've heard of them before but I don't know much about them, no," said Twilight Sparkle. "Well, do you know who created you guys?" asked Dom T, hoping they would know. "Duh! My parents, obviously!" said Rainbow Dash. "That's not what I mean, Rainbow," sighed Dom T. "What I mean is, you are all animated by humans, you are all fictional characters on a kids TV show," Dom T explained to the ponies, and Spike of course. All the ponies looked confused, then they all turned to the door when they heard light knocking. Dom T saw Twilight Sparkle answer the door and it was no other than Fluttershy, the shy yellow pegasus he talked to when he first arrived. "Oh, is this a party?" asked Fluttershy, who looked a lot calmer than she did the last time Dom T saw her. "A party!? Where!? WHERE!?" chirped Pinkie Pie excitedly. "Sorry, it's not a party, Pinkie Pie. But Dom here says he's from another universe!" replied Twilight excitedly. "Aww, no party?" sighed Pinkie Pie. "Do you mean, he's from... space?" asked Fluttershy with interest. "No, I'm not exactly from space, I am from Earth, but I'm from a different earth with a different moon and a different sun," replied Dom T. "So, are ya sayin' you're from a parallel universe?" asked Apple Jack. "Well, if you put it that way, maybe. But this whole Equestria thing and all of you characters are on a cartoon that plays on TV in my world!" said Dom T. All the ponies suddenly looked shocked just as Dom T finished that sentence. "I really need to get back to my world, I just don't feel like I fit in here, and I want to go back to see my friends and family, if any of you know how?" asked Dom T. "Well, how did you get here in the first place?" asked Rainbow Dash helpfully. "All I remember is that I was watching your cartoon, it's called My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, and then there was a very bright flash of light from the lightning storm which bolted right at me from the TV, and then I ended up here, with you!" explained Dom T carefully. "So you don't know how to get back I guess?" asked Spike. "If I knew how to get back, I would've left as soon as I'd arrived!" said Dom T. "But then, Twilight Sparkle would probably be having her funeral now instead of standing here with her friends..." sighed Dom T. "I wouldn't be here without you, Dom!" said Twilight Sparkle, smiling. The sun was down, the moon was up, and the ponies and Spike were chatting happily with Dom T, who still couldn't get his head around what happened to him, even after explaining it to the others. "It's gettin' late, ah better head off back home now, nice talkin' with ya'll!" said Apple Jack, happily, she waved and galloped off. "Yeah I should get going too, goodnight!" said Rainbow Dash as she dashed out. The rest of the ponies left as they happily trotted back to their homes. Twilight Sparkle thought they were all gone until she saw Fluttershy hiding in the corner. "Fluttershy, I'm sorry but you need to go home now," said Twilight calmly. "I-I can't walk out there! It's dark, a-and I want to stay here," replied Fluttershy as she stood up. "Come on, Fluttershy, the other ponies did it, Twilight here would do it, even I would do it, there's nothing to be afraid of," said Dom T. "No, I can't go out there alone at this time!" replied Fluttershy who started looking scared. "Oh, Fluttershy, come on I'll take you home!" said Twilight Sparkle happily. "Oh thank you so much Twilight, you are a true friend!" said Fluttershy. "It's the least I can do," said Twilight. "See you later, Dom and Spike," said Fluttershy kindly as she nervously waved. "I won't be long guys!" said Twilight Sparkle shut the door and left. "I really wonder if this is how I'm going to spend the rest of my life," said Dom T sadly. "Hey, it's not all that bad! But I do have an idea to get you a step closer to going back," said Spike. "Let's just wait until Twilight gets back, just for safety reasons," said Dom T. "And now, we wait!" said Spike.
Free-DomDom T was chatting with Spike, waiting for Twilight Sparkle to come back. "She's been gone for an hour now, is this normal for Twilight?" Dom T asked Spike worryingly. "She should be back, it's not like her to be late, at all," replied Spike, looking concerned. Dom T had a gut feeling that something bad had happened to Twilight. Why isn't she back yet? It's not like Fluttershy lives on the other side of the world. "Spike, I might go outside and look for her," said Dom T. "Go ahead, I'm getting sleepy. Fluttershy lives in a cottage with grass all over the roof and heaps of bird houses in the trees around it, there is a small bridge leading to her house with a stream underneath it. I'll more than likely be sleeping when you come back so please don't make too much noise getting through the door," explained Spike as he yawned. "Ok thanks," said Dom T as he walked out the door. Dom T felt the sudden cold night breeze as he stepped outside. "Twilight Sparkle, you better not have tried that stupid spell again," Dom T mumbled to himself. Feeling slightly worried, he started walking, which somehow helped him feel less concerned about Twilight. He had no clue where he was going, but he recalled overhearing Fluttershy saying she lived near the Everfree Forest. He started feeling tired, cold and lost, looking for what Spike described, he listened very carefully for water streams, but only heard crickets and the odd hoot of an owl. Dom T had no idea where he was standing but he was definitely a long way from Spike and Twilight Sparkles place by now. "What if Twilight Sparkle is back home and I'm looking for nothing?" he thought feeling annoyed. He suddenly stood up straight when he heard the faint sound of hooves trotting towards him. "Twilight?" Dom T asked out loud before getting tackled off his hooves. "Watch out, man! Do I really blend in with the night that well!?" shouted Dom T. He looked and saw that it was Twilight Sparkle, right on top of him. "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you there, Dom!" gasped Twilight. "Why are you out here anyway?" she asked, in a tone like she already knew. "Oh I was just, I needed fresh air!" Dom T lied, faking a smile while getting back up. "Really now?" asked Twilight who knew Dom T was lying. "Yeah, nothing beats the fresh breeze on a clear night," said Dom T comfortably. "Yes, Dom, it's a beautiful night, but you came looking for me didn't you?" asked Twilight. "Or maybe I just needed to go for a walk," Dom T said stubbornly. "It's ok, Dom, you can tell me if you were concerned that I didn't come home, you were worrying about me, weren't you?" said Twilight Sparkle calmly. "Um, what took you so long, Twilight? Spike got worried but he couldn't be bothered searching for you, so he got me to do it!" Dom T said trying to change the subject. "I just needed to calm Fluttershy down after she stood on a dead rabbit while we were walking back to her place, don't worry it wasn't one of her pet rabbits, but she felt very bad after standing on it," Twilight explained. "And I would have to see it to believe that Spike was worried, he never worries about me," Twilight sighed. "He did worry about you the night you failed with that spell and got rushed to hospital! He was worried sick for you, Twilight!" burst Dom T, getting chills and pain in the stomach at the awful memory. "Okay Twilight, I did come looking for you because, I thought you might have tried that spell and hurt yourself again!" said Dom T, feeling bad about denying it. "I... 'sigh', thank you, Dom. It truly means a lot that you worry about me. Spike just never takes me seriously, but I guess it's fair, I spend more time studying than I do with him," Twilight said as she started crying. "Are you okay, Twilight?" Dom T said, he just noticed they were already back at her house. Twilight entered her house, followed by Dom T. Spike was fast asleep. "Twilight? Can you please get me back to my world?" Dom T asked impatiently. "I do know of one spell that can do that, but I can't promise it will work, I'll try it tomorrow, I'm just too tired tonight," said Twilight in a shaky voice. "Ok, I'm very sorry about not telling you that I was worried about you, Twilight," said Dom T. "It's alright, Dom, every pony lies about how they really feel, even I do sometimes," said Twilight as she quickly turned and walked up to her room. "Glad that's all over, now I can sleep," Dom T said in his head as he got into his bed. The next day, Dom T woke up to see Twilight Sparkle standing by his bed smiling, with her large purple eyes staring at him. He got a small fright but he wasn't too shocked. "Rise and shine! I got the spell all worked out, the one that takes ponies back to where they originally came from, so you should be able to get back home," cheered Twilight. "That's awesome!" said Dom T excitedly. Twilight Sparkle suddenly looked sad and her eyes started watering. "Are you ok, Twilight? What's wrong?" asked Dom T. "I will..." Twilight let out a huge sigh. "You will what, sorry?" asked Dom T, very confused. "I, um..." Twilight said quietly as she struggled to hold her sorrow in. "I'LL MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Twilight let out as she gave Dom T a very tight hug and burst in to tears, crying heavily, waking Spike up. "What the... yep, you do need help..." Spike mumbled as he got up and went to write a letter to Princess Celestia. "Twilight, I didn't know you would be so sad that I'm leaving, I can stay a bit longer if you really..." Dom T was interrupted suddenly by Twilight. "No, if you don't want to be here, I understand, you belong somewhere else, and you would much rather be back home," Twilight sobbed as she slowly unwrapped her arms around Dom T. "No, it's not all that bad here, I actually enjoy being with you, but I just need to go back to where I came from," Dom T explained to Twilight who understood Dom T. Suddenly there was a knock at the door. "I'll get it!" Spike grumbled. Spike opened the door and got quite a surprise. "Oh, hello! You're here already?" He said nervously. There stood, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Rarity and a white Alicorn with a mane and tail that was blue, green and pink in colour and it was swaying. "Hello Spike, I got your letter so I came as quickly as possible since I have no plans today," said the white Alicorn softly. "Sure! Come in!" greeted Spike happily. "Princess Celestia? What are you doing here?" Twilight Sparkle asked the white alicorn, surprised. "Twilight Sparkle, Spike sent me a letter moments ago. I came with your friends here to tell Dom T that he will always be welcome here in Equestria," said Princess Celestia calmly. "Does that mean I can come back?" asked Dom T. "Yes, use this whenever you want to visit Equestria and see your Ponyville friends," Princess Celestia said as she gave Dom T a small cube with two buttons on each side of it. "This is the key to Equestria, pressing the green button will take you home, and pressing the yellow one will bring you back here," Princess Celestia instructed. "So I don't have to try this risky portal spell on him?" asked Twilight Sparkle cheering up. "No need, Twilight, anyway casting a spell like this one could be fatal to any pony in it's path," replied Princess Celestia. Twilight Sparkle sighed in relief. Dom T thought he could just push the button right away, but once he had the chance, he felt very unsure about it. "I'm actually sad that I'm leaving," said Dom T sadly. "I think what you need is a photo with your new friends that you can take back with you," Princess Celestia said, holding a camera with her magic horn. "Yeah, why not," said Dom T smiling. He stood with all six ponies and Spike while Princess Celestia took a photo of them. "Here you go Dom, take care now," said Princess Celestia as she gave Dom T the photo. "One question, will I feel any pain when I press this button?" asked Dom T. "You shouldn't feel a thing, I promise you, you'll be safe," Princess Celestia reassured him in a comforting tone. "Well, I guess this is it, I had a very interesting time here, and I will definitely come back sometime to catch up with you all, but I have to get back home now, I'll see you later," said Dom T. All the ponies said goodbye to Dom T happily. "Good luck, Dom T," said Princess Celestia. "Ok here it goes..." Dom T took one last look at the mane six, Spike and Princess Celestia as he pushed the green button, holding onto the photo tightly. Dom T instantly felt like he was falling and blacked out. About five seconds later he got all his feeling back and slowly opened his eyes. And he happened to be still on the floor in the living room, holding something that shot out of the TV in the power surge. He took a closer look at it and realised it was the Equestria key that Princess Celestia gave him. He looked at the clock, it was 7:25am, and the weather was exactly how it was before, so to Dom T's shock it was still the same day. He then looked at the photo to see if it was still the cartoon ponies, and it was, even he was still a pony in the photo. He remembered every detail of what happened in Equestria as if it was a couple of minutes ago. He got up onto his two legs, in slight pain, he put the photo and the key to Equestria in a safe place in his room. He was exhausted and went back to bed. "That 25 minutes felt more like 25 days, well, it's good to be back home," Dom T said to himself.
