arrival

As I woke up slowly from my apparent sleep, my brain still fuzzy with tiredness, my first realization was that I didn’t remember falling asleep, which was strange, considering that I usually did, the second being that it was still dark out, which was strange, as I usually got up with the sun. Rubbing the last dregs of sleep from my eyes with my hooves, I stretched, and then paused, and then it hit me, I didn’t have hooves!, how could I have missed it? I looked down at my leg, and realized that it is that of an equine, more specifically, a pony, from one of my favorite shows, my little pony, but it was different, instead of the usual bright colors, this leg was dark, and slightly transparent, with the edges slightly blurred, now, I was usually a relatively calm person, but waking up as a pony from a cartoon show?, that was too much, so I proceeded to have the world's most silent internal freakout, I just sat there for the next 20 minutes or so, and once I had come to terms with my situation, I decided to look over my body, looking down, I was surprised to find that the rest of my body appeared to be like my leg, dark, transparent, and blurred, though I noticed that I seemed to have some new curves, and it was gone, fearing the worst, I tested my voice, and lo and behold, there was a definite feminine note to it, well, shit, not only was I some sort of weird spirit, but I was a mare as well, seriously, if i’m in equestria, can’t I at least keep my gender, really? Now, at this point I was thinking that it couldn't really get any worse, and then I really began to take in my surroundings, slowly it dawned on me, I knew where I was, and it wasn’t good, I was in the golden oaks library, home to twilight sparkle, who, if she discovered me, would most likely tell princess celestia, and based on the number of HIE fics i had read, this would lead to her telling princess celestia, or doing experiments on me, neither of which would turn out well for me. Speaking of her, here she was, standing right in front of me, with her jaw on the floor, and then it hit me, oh crap, I was completely screwed.

As we stood there staring at each other her eyes got increasingly larger, her hair started to frizz up, and I could practically see the millions of thoughts running through her brain. And then she passed out, falling to the floor with a light thump noise. At this point I was in almost the same position as her, except that it seemed that i was incapable of passing out, so I just floated there, in a stupor. This was how spike found me when he walked in, conveniently, and adopted the same look as twilight had a few seconds ago, but instead of passing out, he screamed and started to run away, at which point i decided it was time for me to at least do something, so i followed him, trying to reason with him about my harmlessness, but he wouldn't listen. At this point i had had enough, and actually shouted at him, which seemed to get him to pause for a second apparently long enough for him to realize that i hadn't hurt him yet and didn't seem to have any intention of doing so. After he had sufficiently calmed down, I explained to him that i was in fact not, the cause, at least directly, of twilight’s unconsciousness, that i was from a different world, and that i used to be male. He took it pretty well considering what i had just told him, and when i asked about this, he told me, simply, “I live with Twilight.”, and that was enough of an explanation for both of us. When we were done getting to know each other a little bit, we decided to head back and explain to twilight. Of course, when we got to where she had passed out, she was still lying there sound asleep, so spike had to run off and get some water to wake her up, seeing as i for one had hooves, which i had no idea how to use, and two, was unable to physically interact with anything larger than a piece of dust without exerting a lot of willpower and energy, which me and spike had tested while twilight was still unconscious. This had provided further evidence of my theory, that i had died in my own world and was now some sort of ghost or spirit in this one. As spike went to fetch some water to wake up twilight i was left alone with my own thoughts, and left to think i came to the conclusion that i should be having a mental breakdown right about now, but for some reason i was perfectly calm, i guess that when you die the aspects of your personality are carried over and that's what makes you manifest as a spirit, and seeing as when i was alive i had spent a lot of time working to keep my emotions from affecting me it was only logical that my spirit would not have very strong emotional responses to anything really. Another possibility was that i was in a state of shock and didnt know it, that my brain couldnt handle such a drastic change and had left me unable to form a logical response
