Humanity's final day
Chapter 1: A whole new world
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAlexander woke to, well, he didn't really know yet, he was still thinking about what just happened.
'Ok. 1. Ow 2. Where? 3. Dirt, I'm laying in dirt. And 4. David, I need to get up and check on David, he might be hurt.' All these thoughts quickly made Alexander construct a plan mentally, he'd check if he was injured, get up, see where he was, and then he'd find David and see if he's injured.
David, on the other hand, was laying down in dirt, and, well, thinking. 'Earth is gone, for all we know, we're the only survivors. We don't know where we are yet, it might be hostile, we might die soon.'
Alexander had now stood up, he was relatively fine, just a headache and a slightly painful knee.
"David?" Alexander calmly asked into the air around him. He had now observed that he was in a small town, it seemed to be around midnight.
"David?!" He asked again, he was now starting to get worried for his friends safety.
Then he saw it, his friend was laying face down in the dirt, just like he was seconds before.
"David!"
"Hmmm?"
"David, are you alright?" Alexander said, barely able to think about anything but his friends safety.
"Wait, Alexander?"
"Oh thank god, you're alive."
David started to move around, then got up.
"You ok?"
"Yeah, I'm checking on you."
"Well, I think I'm good, shall we look around?"
"Yes, but maybe we should wait until day."
David looked around, and noticed that it was, in fact, the middle of the night. "Right."
(9 hours later)
Alexander and David had set up a basic house in the small town, and had eaten and then went to sleep.
Alexander woke to an alarm beeping loudly, he got up, turned it off, and woke up David.
"Why 8?"
"Because we want to get out soon."
"Fine."
(Half an hour later)
After waking up, David got dressed, ate breakfast, and gathered up all necessary items for the day, as had Alexander.
The two walked out of the door of their makeshift hut, Alexander again going first.
(Meanwhile, elsewhere.)
It was a relatively routine day for Applejack, she'd woken up, had breakfast, then started working on the apple orchard. Now she was going into town to sell some products.
It was quite a calm walk, not much happened nowadays. Other than the odd monster attack, life in pony ville was relatively peaceful, but for some reason, it wasn't quite like this today.
As soon as Applejack walked into town, she noticed a small group of ponies gathered around some kind of structure in the middle of the street. So she decided to take a look, and being an Element of harmony, would probably end up investigating before anypony else.
Well, this was unexpected. Some kind of equines had gathered around Alexander and David, almost instantly after they exited their very house-like structure.
"What's all the fuss about?"
"There's some kind of two legged hairless ape!"
'Hairless ape?' Applejack thought to herself 'now that's just plain Ol' weird.'
"Let me through." Applejack commanded, this caused the small crowd to move aside.
"Hello?" The odd equine asked, it's coat was orange, and it's eyes were green, it had some sort of hat atop it's head and spoke with a country accent.
"Did... Did it just talk?" David asked, confused
"Don't call her an 'it', David, that's rude."
"But... 'She's' a... Horse." David stated, still confused, and now somewhat annoyed.
"Um, hello? I'm Applejack, who might you be?"
"Oh, yes. Please excuse my friends rudeness, I think he's still annoyed by waking up so early. To answer your question, I'm Alexander." Alexander answered, motioning to himself. "And this is my close friend, David." Alexander then motioned to David, who simply gave a tired wave.
"Well it's nice to meet y'all. But, if you don't mind my asking, what are you?"
"Well that's easy, We are humans, a highly advanced race from the planet Earth."
"So what you're saying is that you're aliens?" Applejack asked, intrigued and confused all at the same time.
"Well, yes, I suppose we are."
"Hey Alexander. When are we gunna start looking around?"
"Please David, I'm in the middle of a conversatio-" Alexander was cut off mid-sentence by Applejack
"Well if you want to look around, I'd be happy to give you a quick tour."
"Really?" Alexander asked causiosly, Causing Applejack to nod in approval. "Great! So when do we start?" He asked, he was almost hyper-active to get a tour of an alien town, given by an intelligent alien species.
"Whenever you'd like to."
"Great, so does that mean we can start right now?"
"If your friend ready, then I don't see why not." After this comment, both Applejack and Alexander looked to David, awaiting his answer.
"Sure, sounds nice, just let me get a couple of things first."
"Actually, now that you mention it, I need to get some things too. We'll be right back." As Alexander said this, he walked over to David, who then entered their makeshift house, closely followed by Alexander.
As he collected everything he would need, one single thought crossed Alexander's mind. 'Pastel... Coloured... Ponies... Fantastic! Who knows, maybe they have magic. Considering that an equine can speak, let alone knows English, makes them having magic seem all that less exciting, if they do of course.'
Author's Note
Oh goodie, another chapter. What am I, a wizard?
Could be, if I had magic, like these ponies.
Anyway, enough about that, and on to the thanks.
Thank you for reading, if you see any errors, leave a comment, and I'll fix it as best I can, that is, if my editors don't tell me first.
