When The Creator Meets His Creations
Okay, I finish that sketch and I go to bed... That's what I told me right before starting another sketch, and another.
After at least five more sketches, I could feel my eyes closing by themselves. I yawned, then looked at my screen, head in hand, elbow on my desk. I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes, trying to get the sleepness away. I looked at my screen again, smiling at the sketches of my babies. My babies, as I call them, are my OC. Mia, a smart pegasus, and Painting Aurora, a cheerful unicorn. They really were my babies. I was always drawing them at least once a day, I simply loved them.
"If only I could meet you in real, I'm sure we'd have great fun." I said partly to my screen and the smiling ponies, but mostly to myself. I was still looking at my screen when I yawned another time, then I fell asleep, wondering what it would be like if I was a pony, and if they were my friends.
I don't know how much time I slept, because a bright light was threatening my eyes. Then, a shadow stood between the light and me.
"Do you think she's dead?" A pretty high pinched voice asked to god-knows-who.
"Don't be silly Paint," An other voice answered, chuckling. "You can clearly see her breathing. And her eyelids moved when you blocked the sun light."
"Mmh... If you say so..." She paused for a moment. "But I bet you she's dead."
Paint... It makes me think of my baby Painting Aurora... I smiled thinking that it's something she totally would say.
"See?" The other voice said. "She just smiled."
"That's because she's a zombie. And she smelled us. Now she thinks of eating us." She paused. "Beware Mia."
My eyes snapped open when I heard this name. Above me was a unicorn that I know too well. Next to her, a pegasus that I know too well.
"Oh hey! You're finally awake." The unicorn said, beaming at me.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" I screamed, trying to back up, only to realise that I hadn't legs, or arms. "WHAT?!" I tried to get up, but I miserably failed and I fell face first.
"Hey, you're okay?" The pegasus asked me, worried, while walking toward me.
"Yeeaah, I'm okay, I'm the most okay person in the whole world!" I sighed while sitting. "It's just a dream, I'm going to wake up... Pinch yourself Léa, pinch yourself..." I looked at my hoof for a moment. "How can I pinch myself without hands? Or fingers?!"
They just looked at me. They waited that I calmed down, before that Mia came sitting next to me.
"Am I in Equestria?" I looked from my hooves to her, a big frown on my pony face. "In Ponyville?"
"Well, we're not far from Ponyville." She smiled at me. "How did you get here? Did you teleport? Paint says that she saw a yellow magical thing, that it exploded, and then you were on the ground, sleeping."
I looked at her for a moment, trying to put together what I remembered.
"I... All I remember was that I was sitting at my desk, doodling some sketches of you, then I wondered what it would be like if I was a pony, and then I fell asleep and woke up here." I looked back at her, she was frowning.
"Sketches... Of us..?" She slowly asked, looking at me like if I was some sort of perverted stalker.
"Well, yeah. You're my OC, I created you." I then stopped at my mistake.
"Mmh sorry," Started Painting Aurora, who just popped from behind us. "But it's our parents who created us. Do you want me to explain you Birds and Bees?"
"Hum, no, thanks." I smiled akwardly at her.
"How that, you created us?" Mia asked, looking at me again.
"Well, hum..." I tried to find my words. "Forget about that..." I got up pretty fast. I even surprised myself. "I'm not from this world, I must go back to my own one." I could feel tears threatening to fall down my eyes. "W-What if my mother finds out that I'm gone? She'd call the police, but they wouldn't find me, so they'd think that I'm dead! This would break her!" I was now crying. "I-I don't want her to think that I'm dead!"
"Hey, hey..." Mia placed a hoof on my shoulder. "Don't worry, we'll find a solution to bring you back to your world."
"Let's find Twilight!" Paint yelled, a bit too loud. "She'll know what to do!"
Then, I followed them to Twilight's castle.
When we arrived, Paint smacked on the door with her hoof three times. The door opened on a young purple alicorn.
"Oh hi Paint, hi Mia. What can I do for you?" She asked, smiling at them.
"Well..." Paint started, trying to find how to say that someone comes from another world. "We found her," She pointed at me. "She said coming from another world, and she'd like to go back at her home."
"Oh, I see." The young alicorn nodded her head. "Come on, we'll see what we can find in the library."
Then, we started a long research for a spell that could bring me back at home.
After a long research
"Did you find something?" I asked them, while closing the tenth book I found.
They all nodded no, and my hopes to find something was fading away. I stared at the book for a moment, debating with myself if I should tell them to stop the research and that I'll stay here, or if I should think to my mother and do all that I can to go back. I sighed and got up, walking out of the library.
"Shouldn't we go after her?" Paint asked, closing another book.
"No, I think it'd be better to leave her alone for a moment." Twilight said, closing the book she was holding too.
I was walking to the main door. I pushed it and went outside. I walked down the small stairs and started wandering around Ponyville. I've always wanted to visit it, to meet these ponies... So why am I so eager to go back home? Oh yeah, maybe because if stay here, my mother will be sad, because she'd think I'm dead... And that's not what I want t happen... I closed my eyes, trying to clear my mind a bit, but images of my mother cryng because she thinks I'm dead invaded it, forcing me to open them again. I started to cry softly, not wanting the other ponies to ask me what's wrong.
"Heya, what with the sadly frowning face?" A pink pony asked me, jumping in front of me.
"Just... Leave me alone, please..." I said as I turned to another direction. "I'm not in the mood to talk to anybo- anypony."
"Is that because you arrived here from another world in which we are fictionnal characters in a show for little girls and that you can't go back there but that you want to because you're mom will be worried?" She just looked at me smiling, waiting for an answer.
"Yeeaahh..." I started to slowly back away. "Hum... I gotta go." And then I turned away and ran. I don't know where, but I ran.
I started to slow back when I was sure that she was away. I checked behind me one more time. While doing so, I got a glimpse of my Cutie Mark. It was a sheet of paper with a pen drawing on it and a pencil, not drawing but writing on it. It was pretty nice, I thought. I was walking when I stepped in a puddle. I watched myself in that puddle. I had big chocolate eyes, a pretty long horn, a purple fur and a brown curly mane. It doesn't sound real, this can't be me... I backed away slowly, then I sat. I paused for a moment.
If I'm blocked her, I'll have to accept it... I touched my horn. And I'll have to learn magic too. First, the basic things: levitate objects, etc... I got up and looked around me. I was in front of a place I knew. The Carrousel Boutique.
The door opened and a unicorn wearing a big and beautiful hat came out. She waved at me when she noticed me.
"Oh hi! You must be new here, it's the first time I see you." She smiled. "I'm Rarity. What'syour name?"
"Hum... I'm Léa." I blinked a few times.
"Léa..." She repeated. "It sounds special, where are you from?"
"I, hum... I'm from... Somewhere, far, from... Here?" I paused. "Yeah! I come from a small village, far from here. Hehe..."
"Oh I see." She nodded, then looked at my mane. "Your mane is beautiful! But it may use a brush. Come on!"
And then she dragged me into the boutique.
Some time later
"What do you think about this one?" Rarity asked me as she made me try another dress.
"Hum... Don't you have something a bit more... Simple? Discreet?" I pulled on one of the pink ribbons.
"Sure, wait a minute..." She then went into the closet.
I sighed. What started as just a hair brush finished into a clothes testing session. She already made me try at least five pieces. She came back with a white scarf and a yellow hat with red and pink flowers. She made me try them on. She turned me around so I was facing the mirror. To be honest, these clothes weren't bad, and were pretty simple.
"So, what do you think?" She asked, proud of herself.
"That's beautiful." I smiled at her. "But I don't have money you know, so here, take them back." I started to take off the scarf but she stopped me.
"Don't worry, it's okay. You can keep it!" She beamed at me while adjusting the scarf around my neck. "Consider it as a welcome gift, my dear."
"Oh, well... Thanks then."
We exited the boutique right when Painting Aurora and Mia were passing. They ran toward me.
"Léa, we've looked for you since a loonng time!" She stopped in front of me and took my head in her hooves. "Where were you?!"
"Well," I put her hooves off my face. "I met Pinkie Pie, then I went here and met Rarity. She made me try clothes."
"Oh hey Rarity!" Paint waved at the unicorn, then looked at my hat and scarf. "That's so beautifuuuuul!" She exclaimed, smiling like crazy.
"Hehe I know right?" Said Rarity, walking next to Paint and adjusting my hat a bit. "It was the one that fitted the most!"
"So..." I asked, looking at Mia. "Did you find anything?"
"No, sorry." She answered, looking really sorry. "Twilight is still searching, so it may takes a long time to find something."
"Yeah, but as long as you're here," Started Paint, who was smiling brightly. "Let's give you a tour of Ponyville, and maybe some magic lessons too!" She gasped. "Do you think we could do both at the same time?!"
It's gonna be a loooong day...
