What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Chapter 2: The New Reality
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI woke up on a couch and rolled off it
"Mmmmmhhhh. Need. Sleep."
I sit up and rub my eyes, there was yellow blur in front of me and the more i rubbed my eyes, the clearer the blur became. After rubbing my eyes about 6 times I open my eyes and see a pony in front of me "
HOLY SH-"
The pony backed away because of my reaction.
"Are you okay ?" it asked.
I started breathing heavily.
"OMG, OMG, Oh. My. GOD! Wh- Wh- What are you ?" I asked in a scared voice.
"I'm a pony" it said with a shy voice.
After I calmed down a bit. "What, what's your name ?" I asked, still a little bit scared.
"My name is Fluttershy, what's yours ?" She asked.
"My name is Pim. But how did I get here ? How do you talk…..?" I pause for a moment. "WHERE THE HELL AM I ?!"
Fluttershy backed away a bit but this time I noticed
"I'm sorry…eeuuuhh…Fluttershy. But could you tell me what's going on…I must be dreaming, I'll end this dream now."
I stand up on the couch and get in position to drop myself to the floor. Fluttershy weeped a bit and said
"Don't do this you'll hurt yourself!"
I simply answer "What could go wrong! I'm dreaming!"
The next second I lie on the floor with the start of what could become a headache.
"Aauuuuuuwwwwchhhhhh. That hurt." Then realization struck me. "I'm not dreaming am I ?"
Fluttershy replied "No, come on get some rest."
I refused and said "I'd like to know what the hell is going. Then I'll rest." "Well, I'm sure Twilight can answer your questions. She wanted to see you when you're healthy again."
I stood up and said "I need some fresh air."
I look around the room for the door and when I finally spotted it. I open the door, closed my eyes and take a deep breath. The air was fresher then I ever could imagine. When I opened my eyes it came to my attention that this…"world" looked different. It looked cartoonish but still very detailed.
I tried to process I saw: the cartoonish world, birds that sang in perfect harmony. It was a lot to process as I didn't realize that Fluttershy was asking me something, but after a while I noticed. I ignored what she said and went back inside. I walked to Fluttershy and asked "
So…what's this 'world' called ? Can you ponies can talk ?"
She replied "This is Equestria, yes all ponies and stallions can talk and I think that your actually ready to go and see Twilight."
Before I agreed I asked one more question. "You still didn't tell me how I got here, from what I was at some sort of ruin before I woke up."
She replied "Well, you ran into us-"
I interrupted "Somepony ran into me."
She replied "Yes, Rainbow Dash charged at you…"
I thought of the blue pony with the rainbow mane "That's probably Rainbow Dash"
She continued "Well after she charged at you, you passed out and we brought you here."
I replied "That's really nice of you…ponies. Well then, shall we go to this 'Twilight' ?" as I gestured to the door.
We walked on a dirt "road" to what seemed to be a village. I looked to my left and saw a forest there. Fluttershy noticed this and told me that the forest was called "Everfree Forest" but that it's a dangerous place to be.
I thought "Pshhh, I'll go in there sooner or later anyways." We walked further and I began to see a town in the distance.
"What's that town over there ?"
She replied "That's Ponyville, we're heading to it now. Some of my best friends live there. But you saw them at the ruins."
I replied "I don't remember much from our first meeting. But you should introduce them to me when we're done."
After what seemed to be like 15 minutes of walking we were near the edge of town. Ponies and stallions were all staring at me and whispering stuff to each other. I started blushing a bit because I'm not used to so much attention. I saw a pony leaving her apple cart and coming toward Fluttershy. She said something to Fluttershy but I couldn't hear it. Then the pony came up to me, she was orange and had 3 apples tattoo'ed on her flank. She had a blonde mane and wore a cowboy hat.
"'ello there! My name is Applejack. Nice to meet yah!"
Kinda surprised by her and being so direct and kind 'Hello, I'm Pim"
Applejack replied "Well, how are ya' holding up ? You passed out last time we met." I replied "Wait you were there ?"
She nodded "Yes 'Ah was a bit worried."
Suddenly my stomach growls…Applejack noticed this "You sound hungry, how 'bout a apple ? First on is on the house!"
I gladly took the apple "Thank you very much Applejack! I appreciate it!"
I took a bite from the apple she gave me. This apple was probably the best one I ate in my entire life, and I ate a lot of apples (trust me ;D). I embraced the sweet taste of it and before I knew it I ate almost all of the apple.
"That was the best apple I ever at Applejack! I'll be sure to buy my apples from you."
She smiled "Well thank ya' much Pim. That's good to hear! If ya' have some time, come by the Apple Ochard to visit me. But now Ah' need to get back to my cart. See ya' around Pim!"
I smiled back "I will, thanks again Applejack! See you around."
We walked away venturing into the town even more. I became a bit bored and started tapping my pockets like I usually do when I'm bored. I felt something and reached into my right pocket. I grabbed something out of it and looked at it. Apperently I still had my red iPod in my pocket , shame I didn't have my Ministery Of Sound headphones with me. Some music would be good right now. I think I'll still be able to buy some new headphones here. After walking for about 10 minutes we came up to a tree….house…..treehouse.
Fluttershy said "Well this is where Twilight lives, in the library. She's here almost all the time though."
We walk up to the door and I knock on it. I hear a some voice coming from inside
"Spike! Open the door, I'll be right there" A little purple creature with green scales opened the door.
"Hello Fluttershy….and…uuuhh ?" I helped him "Pim, My name's Pim. Nice to meet you."
This time Fluttershy spoke up. "This is Spike, he a baby dragon." (well the story doesn't needs dragons anymore does it ;D) Spike took over and said in a proud tone
"-and I'm Twilight's number 1 assistant!"
I took over once more "Nice to meet you Spike."
Then suddenly a purple pony with a star tattooed on her flank came down a set of stairs.
"Ah, Fluttershy you made it… Oh we have a guest! Spike go make some tea please! We have a long conversation ahead of us!"
