Humanity's final day
Chapter 2: Town (Warning, spoilers from now onwards, read at own risk.)
Previous ChapterAlexander and David had been following Applejack for a good half an hour now, and were nearing their final location, where they'd be dropped off. They were going to the local princess, Twilight Sparkle's, crystal castle.
"So she is, "Science-y"?" David asked, confused by the word.
"That's the best way I can describe her, yeah." Applejack replied.
"Sounds like my kind of pony." Alexander stated.
"Figured you'd say that about Twilight."
"Speaking of Twilight, here's her castle. Well, goodbye, see you around?"
"I wouldn't doubt it." Alexander replied, knocking on the crystal door.
The sound of flipping and ruffling papers could be heard through the thin door, then a voice.
"One second!" Shouted the voice from inside. Not long after, hooves could be heard hitting the crystal floor.
"Hell-" Twilight was cut off mid-sentence by her own surprise.
"Hello, Twilight I presume?"
"Yes, hello. What are." Twilight paused, looking past the human. "Your names?" Twilight finished.
"I am Alexander, he's David, we're humans, your friend Applejack sent us here, any other questions?"
"Actually, yes, two. Where did you come from?"
"Earth, mere seconds from it's destruction."
"Have you ever heard of 'My Little Pony'?"
"It sounds familiar, yes. Ah, yes, now I remember, it was a popular TV show in the early to mid 2010's."
"How much do you know about it?"
"Not much. But now that you mention it, this town seems a lot like some pictures of a certain 'Ponyville' from it."
"Ok, well this is the Ponyville you're thinking of."
"Ok, seems possible, infinite dimensions, any amount of possibilitys."
(A bit of talking later.)
"You know, you're not the first humans I've met, I met one named Johnathan yesterday, he had some injuries from a fall, but he's currently in the library reading."
"How odd, my middle name is Johnathan. May I meet him?"
"Ok, come in." At that, Twilight opened the door fully, letting the two humans inside.
"Hey, John!"
"Yeah, Twilight?"
"There's someone here to meet you."
"Hello?" John looked around the entrance to the library.
"Hello! John I presume?"
"Yeah, hi. Uh, you are?"
"This is Alexander, that's David, they are apparently from 2047, they arrived yesterday."
"Wait, 2047?! How?"
"A portal that David made, Alexander did the calculations. Apparently they were mere seconds from Earths destruction when they went through."
"What destroyed Earth?"
"Meteor."
"Not quite, a specially designed weapon that looks like a meteor or asteroid, but is actually known as a 'planet doomer' by its creators. It was designed to be indestructible by humans, our plasma weaponry didn't work against it, so me and David stopped work on everything else and poured all of our time into the portal."
"So what, different planet?"
"Different dimension."
"Why?"
"It was its original purpose, we didn't have time to re-adjust it."
(More talking and a cup or two of tea and coffee later)
"So, 2047 huh? What's it like?"
"Panicked."
"Before the planet doomer."
"It was an age of technological marvel, left right and centre were people thinking about, creating and perfecting different bits of tech." Alexander remembered back to before the news of destruction.
"Sounds like my kind of year." John stated
"I brought my stuff with me, so did Alexander, wanna see?" David asked.
"Really?" John asked, excited.
"Yeah." David said, taking his bag off of his back. After removing his bag, he opened it up and a holographic display flickered to life above the now opened bag. David quickly started swiping across the display, eventually coming to an icon saying 'tech' underneath it, he tapped it and it opened up a list. After opening the list, David pushed his bag toward John and spoke. "Take a look, tap an icon and it'll pop up, the. Tap it again to get it out or tap the x in the corner to go back to the list."
John quickly started swiping, looking at all the tech in front of him, this also interested Twilight, who was sitting next to him.
"This is gunna be a long day." John stated, continuing to swipe and tap.
"You can say that again." Twilight said, still mesmerised by the display.
'Well this went better than expected.' David thought to himself as he looked at the two staring at the display.
'They seem like good friends, good enough to live together, but then again, it's not like John has a home here other than this one.' Alexander thought as he looked at the pony and human staring at the display on his friends bag.
