Transformation
Meeting With New Friends
Previous ChapterNext ChapterHaving breakfast and chatting with the Lunar Princess really made me a very happy man. In fact, I think nothing could ever get me down if it weren't for the death of my family still lingering behind me. I knew it was going to take time overall to let them go because it doesn't just take a single dream to get over my mourning and depression. It raised my spirits to say goodbye to my family, which I think everybody on Earth should have this type of dream to get through their grief. After Luna headed out to catch up on some sleep, she gave me a badge to wear around my neck. It was just like a convention plastic badge with Celestia's and Luna's cutie marks on it. Luna explained that it should give me access to the majority of the castle but told me that I shouldn't go outside because Celestia was taking care of things about my arrival.
When she left, I explored the castle like a small child exploring a huge mall for the first time. There were some places that were familiar to me, such as the courtyard where Spike told everypony to be quiet because Twilight needed sleep. Other than that, it was whole new ball game when I discovered the entrance of their library. I knew I was going to lose myself in the sea of knowledge if I stepped inside. Taking some lefts, then rights, I finally got to the familiar garden where the maze was located. Right next to the entrance was a pond where the Solar Princess herself was relaxing on a blanket whilst signing some paperwork.
I was taken aback by her being here rather than sitting in the courtroom, but when I thought about it, I came to two conclusions. One, it was either she was catching up on paperwork from yesterday. Two, there was nopony to come to the courtroom due to my appearance or a holiday. Whatever the case, I walked towards her with her royal guards watching my back and I cleared my throat to get her attention.
She signed her paper and turned to me, "Oh, Trey. What brings you here?"
I see the blanket was a big enough to sit next to her, "Well you see, I was exploring the castle and I'm just trying to take this all in. So I was wondering if I could... Sit next to you and relax?"
She put a light smile, "I see no objection to your reasoning, have a sit."
I plopped my butt on the blanket and looked up at the sky. There were a few clouds here and there, but it was something I haven't seen in a while back at home. These fluffy clouds moving in the sky and a few flying Pegasi either passing by or monitoring the weather.
"How are you liking your stay?" Celestia asked.
"All I can say is that I'm a lot happier than I was last night," I say making Celestia frown a bit.
"I'm sorry..."
I smiled and pat her shoulder, "Don't worry about it, Luna already took care of some of my depression during my first night here."
When I touched her shoulder the frown she gave disappeared, "So she gave you a form of consoling?"
"She used the dreamscape so I could say goodbye to my family. To tell you the truth, I would have been more lethargic if Luna didn't use that."
"Did you thank her?"
I nodded as I laid back, "I gave her a friendly hug and a few words to show my appreciation."
She was at first quiet for a few moments, but continued our conversation, "The one thing that has made my mind wander is how Equestrian Magic could have worked on you."
I gave a confused expression at first but realized she was talking about the Luna's dream magic. "I don't know either, but I can tell you something about our mythology from our past to explain."
"Go on."
"I believe when Equestria was in the era of its own middle ages like knights, royal families, old English or Equestrian and guild. In my world, they had these stories about magic, fairies, Unicorns and some creatures that made the historians of the present confused about the matter. It's all very hazy when I'm telling it orally, but if I had the book on me, it would explain much more." I explained.
"Interesting to say the least, here's a question to you then that has left me curious. Why is it you treat Luna and me so casually unlike our subjects?"
I scratched the back of my head as I explained what I told Luna during our breakfast and from what I could tell she seemed to smile a bit more when I told her that I treat anyone or anypony as my equal.
When I finished I asked my question, "What were you a Discord talking about when you left?"
She seemed to lightly blush a bit, but then again the sun was shining on our faces so I couldn't tell, "Discord took me out for brunch after we discussed the status of Equestria as a whole."
"I suppose that's important." I yawn as I closed my eyes slightly.
There was a flame noise close to me, when I opened my eyes, I saw that Celestia was reading a letter, "Is it from Twilight?" I asked.
Celestia nodded, "I've sent a letter to her about your arrival and she is arranging a trip with her friends to come to the castle tonight."
"Could you send a reply to Twilight that I said hi and congrats on becoming a princess?" I asked.
She raised an eyebrow for a moment then realized what I was talking about, "You mean you saw Twilight being crowned as a Princess?"
I snapped my fingers while I nodded, "I did."
"Well, I'll write it now." She teleported a parchment and a quill with an inkwell.
I nodded as I closed my eyes and felt the cool breeze going over me and Celestia. I nearly went to sleep but Celestia teleported the letter with a light pop which woke me up. I sit up and stretched my back, arms, and neck hearing another popping noise from Celestia.
"Yep," I yawned, "Always on top of things."
Celestia giggled, "Yes, even though she's a princess now, she still has the stigma when I was her mentor and she was the student." She read through and smiled, "Twilight's response is filled with questions about you now."
"There is a lot of things that she doesn't know about me, but then again, I know more about her, which is pretty eerie when I think about it." I pondered.
I glance at Celestia's face and her assistant was already next to her. I nearly jumped out of my sitting position from the sudden popping into existence. She was whispering into her ear, Celestia nodded then turned to me.
"I'm afraid I must return to the Day Court, there is a line forming of vendors." She stood up as I did so we could look face to face, "The party will be at the Gala Quarter. My assistant, Sunny May, will assist you."
The Unicorn mare in question, whose cutie mark was a notepad, quill, and an abacus. She has a blond mane and a very light chocolate coat with green hazel eyes. Sunny's eyes slightly widened when Celestia said this, which made me tilt my head slightly. Why did she do this reaction? The only thing I can reference is when I was in High School and the Tour Guide asks the Principle a ridiculous question. The next day the Tour Guide had red bags under her eyes from crying. I didn't know the rest of the context, but I think I should tread lightly when talking to Sunny May.
"Of course." I say as I waved my hand towards where I entered from, "Lead the way, ma'am."
Sunny nodded as she trotted ahead while I waved to Celestia when she was headed inside. I caught up with Sunny May and the majority of the walk was in silent. We turned to another area where there was a wall of fliers and she picked one of them up with her light green magic aura. "You'll need a copy of this in case you forget where you are, this map will help you along the way." She said as she levitated it to my hand.
"Thanks," I say as I open the map. Surprisingly, it looked like the layout of a mall, which is very helpful for me. I followed Sunny through a hallway into the familiar room for the Grand Galloping Gala.
It was really starting to get awkward and she suddenly stopped to sigh. "I suppose you know where to go now from your room?" She asked.
I scratch my head lightly and nod, "I'm pretty sure I have figured things out."
There was silence between us as I continued, "I'm getting a vibe that you don't want me around you, am I right?"
Her eyelids slightly close when they looked at mine, "No, the day was really exhausting and I really don't talk much to ponies I don't know."
I smiled and sighed with relief, "Well that's a load off my shoulders, I thought you were angry at me for not belonging here."
Her ears flattened, "Oh, goodness no. Whatever the princesses believe should stay here at this castle should be honored by all staff. I personally don't have any sort of grudge against you whatsoever." She even made a cute giggle to which I chuckled in return.
"I'll let you return to Celestia for the time being, Sunny May, I have things to prepare for this party," I said as I walked to the left hallway while she went to the right.
Sunny nodded, "Alright then. Speaking of that, I'll send one of the guests to pick you up at your room for the party. Have a nice day!"
"You too!" I waved as I walked back to my room to get things prepared.
After getting back into my room, I unpacked all of my items from my carry-on. On the desk was my laptop being powered by my solar charger which was sitting on the window sill. I got out my clothing, refolded them, and placed them in the provided dresser across from the desk. My personal hygiene items, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant, shaving blade and shaving cream were placed on the vanity in the half bath. I sat on the chair and turned on my laptop, as it powered up, I checked my backpack to find my USB had my important files, and other things from my desktop and I plugged it into my laptop.
As it was loading and copying my files into my hard drive, I playfully look to see if there was wifi, but there wasn't any when I checked. I shook my head lightly despite what result I was going to get. I opened my file explorer and checked all the pony memes, videos, and episodes to show at the party. The USB had the movies and extra files that might help me in the future. The files expand from (Earth) world history to how to make a simple cake. Granted it was close to two Terabytes of data, but my laptop can handle at least three TB.
Instinctively, I checked the time on my user interface, but closed my eyes and turned to the actual clock above the dresser. It was already getting close to dinner time, but I believe the party would be able to feed me when I get there. Turning back to my screen, I made a powerpoint presentation and cracked my knuckles.
"Let's make this an eye-opener," I say to myself as my fingers and mind seeminglessly created the powerpoint all within an hour. I stretched my body and checked the clock. It was already 6 pm. I quickly put my computer asleep and switched my solar charger, that has been absorbing sunlight, to charge my laptop. I hear a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I asked and there was no answer. I sigh internally and walked to answer the door to see the Princess of the Night. She was wearing a nice light blue dress that slightly sparkled with any sort of lighting angle. Her mane was done in a nice bun, but her flowing magic made it look like it was shining. I was awestruck by her display and I coughed into my elbow to reconfigure myself.
"Ah, Luna." I say, "You look quite amazing tonight. You're coming to the party?"
She nodded, "Thank you for the complement Trey, and yes, I am your escort to the party. Everypony is there except for you."
I glance at my clothing and chuckled a bit, "Let me get into something a bit more formal and I shall join you."
"It is rather rude to keep a mare outside a guest's room." She quipped.
I shrug my shoulders and opened the door to let her in, "Wait inside as I change in the bathroom then?" I asked.
"I think that shall be fine." She wanders in and sits on the bed, "Oh and it's called a washroom, Trey."
I playfully rolled my eyes as I open the dresser for the second time and got my shirt with a collar and a set of almost baggy black jeans. It was all I had when I packed my carry-on. I really didn't have any sort of suit because I was too young for a job at the time and it was really expensive. I grabbed those and went into the bathroom. Got changed, put on my deodorant on my armpits and did a quick mouth rinse with the Scope bottle. It burned, but I didn't care it was getting rid of germs.
I stepped out of the washroom to find Luna looking at my laptop like a curious cat would. I cleared my throat to get her attention and it made her jump slightly back. "Curious about my belongings?" I asked.
She blushed when I caught her and it was so cute to see her trying to come up with words, but she shook her head, "Yes, I was intrigued that your kind has this type of technology. What is it?" She asked.
"It's a computer," I say and her eyes widened.
"Impossible."
"Huh?"
"A computer this small wouldn't be able to function, we have a computer, but it's the size of this room in the basement," Luna explained.
'So they do have a computer, just from the war world II era.' I thought. "We had that similar problem, but we figured out how to shrink bits and pieces over time." I point at my laptop, "That is what you'll get in the next 76 years or so."
She just looked at me and turned to face the computer, then to me and then the laptop. When I put my hands on my hips, "I don't think you believe me."
"It's somewhat unbelievable when looking at it." She admits.
"Well, I am going to bring it to the party so we can watch and listen how accurate we are about Equestria," I say.
Luna smiles, "Until I see it working, I'll still have my doubts." She walks to the door and looks back, "Are you ready to see them?"
I close my laptop, unplug the solar charger and carry it to the door so I could join with the lunar princess. I was going to meet with Twilight and the main seven. To be honest, I was nervous to meet them, but I had to be confident in myself. I know them behind a TV screen, a bit creepy when I think about it. I can be accused of being a spy or stalker for all they care. I don't think that is going to happen, but one thing for certain, they're going to be shocked.
I walk beside Luna towards the Gala room and smile, "I think the question you should be asking is: Are they ready to see me?"
She looked at me funny, but realized what I told her when I first got here and nodded, "Indeed."
The moment I walk to the entrance, I see nothing but a pink fur with blue eyes against my vision. Immediately, I knew it was Pinkie and I decided not to move because I wanted to play at her level. I smiled when I saw her smile and didn't move. I didn't know how Pinkie was floating, but the moment I see her fall back to her hooves, I put my hands on my hips.
"Hi!" She cheers.
"Well Pinkie, are you happy that you got to see me so close?" I asked.
"How did you know my name? Oh! Oh! Oh! You're psychic! You must know my name because you read my mine!!"
Luna tried to speak, "Actually-"
"Wait!! I hate getting spoilers! You're an alien from outer space!!!" Before she could continue, a familiar purple aura surrounds Pinkie and shuts her mouth. She is then levitated to Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Spike. All of them were sitting around a big table with three seats remaining. I guess that Celestia's late?
"Pinkie, you should let this guest, whoever it is, to have his space." Rarity scolded her.
Twilight removed the magic from Pinkie's mouth and she spoke, "Sorry guys." She smiles a bit.
"I don't know what to be surprised about," Rainbow spoke, "The fact that this guy didn't fall down due to Pinkie's antics or how he was able to say her name when she didn't introduce herself."
I chuckled a bit and scratched the back of my head, "Well I could tell you, but you wouldn't believe me exactly." I lifted my laptop from my left, "But I do have proof that I know all of you by name and personality."
"I would like ta' know what you're holding there." Applejack looked at me funny when I held my laptop against my belly.
I walk forward with Luna to the large round table where they were sitting and took a seat. Luna sat beside me as I put my laptop on the table I sigh, "My name is Trey and, if you were informed by Twilight, I come from the world that is different from ours, yet similar to a Mythological level."
Rarity looked at me funny, "Mythological level? How so?"
I stretched my back a bit, "There was a time when my ancestors believe that there were Unicorns, Pegasi, and a whole lot of creatures that we thought were fictional. We, as a species, gave up on trying to understand it and just named it under Fairy Tales."
"Interesting." Twilight levitated a piece of parchment and quill to write down information.
"That still doesn't answer how you knew about Twilight and Pinkie," Spike spoke up which seemed a bit taller than his usual self. Maybe he had a growth spurt?
I wave my hand slightly, "I can actually name you all because I know what you guys have been through to a certain point." I point to the orange mare and continued to point to the right as I named them, "Applejack, Rarity, Twilight, Spike, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie" Rainbow was about to comment, but I spoke before she could speak, "I'm not a spy, Dashie."
"H-How....." She dropped her hoof to the table in confusion.
I opened the laptop and turned the power on, "You see, I've been watching you guys from when you vanquished Nightmare Moon to the point where Twilight earned her wings and was crowned to be Princess." I double clicked the presentation document and turned the screen around. "In my world, you are a TV show or a Theater." The screen of the main six and Spike are in a photo for the beginning. There were gasps around the room and some jaws were dropped.
"Now let me be clear, I'm not an alien who wants to use this knowledge to my own advantage. All I know is the adventures that you've been having from defeating villains in reforming them." I cleared my throat as I clicked the next slide to show a video and pressed played. The video itself was a fan-made video of the main six and they're adventures made in a montage. Once the video ends I put my hands together and clicked the next slide that said 'Any Questions?'
Fluttershy raised her hoof in response, "What kind of creature are you?"
I smile, "I'm a human or Homosapien, a descendant of ape, scientifically speaking. Also, Twilight, you know them when you crossed the mirror to Canterlot High."
She blinked, "You know about that too?"
"Yes, also what happened when you had to come back to help Sunset and the others defeat the Dazzlings which are sirens," I explained.
Rainbow spoke, "Are you being serious?!"
Applejack turned to the mare, "Yes Dash, Trey here is being serious and what he's saying is the truth. I can just feel that pure honesty that he's letting out that it's starting to make the Element get slightly jealous."
"Why would I lie?" I say as I sigh, "Anyway, I came to this world by accident, but I have no intention to go back."
"Why?" Rarity asked out of curiosity.
I leaned down my head a bit as Luna spoke on my behalf, "His world had a natural, world ending, disaster."
There were more gasps as I continued where she left off, "That's not all, imagine meeting face to face with a Tsunami that is crushing everything around you to then suddenly pop into the Everfree Forest." My hands were slightly shaking as my mind replayed that memory, "It scared the life out of me and it will take a while to recover."
"Surely you must have a family or loved ones to get back to, right?" Twilight wondered.
"They lived next to the coast...." Twilights ears splayed back, "Even if I could go back, I would be heading back to the world where mother nature said, 'Reset.'"
There was silence between all of us and I smiled a bit, "Wow, I totally put a big downer on everypony. I'm sorry."
Twilight shook her head, "No, no. We understand that you must be going through a terrible experience."
I closed my laptop and clapped my hands together, "With that, I guess I hope to be treated well with everypony and I hope to get to know you guys better than watching from the sidelines." There were some nods from the group and Luna gave a slight smile.
'Well there is a start to everything and this is my start....' I thought as I tried not to say, do or perform any fanfiction I've read in my world.
"If introductions are done, then we shall continue with the welcoming party." Celestia comes from behind as Pinkie smiled.
"Yeah! Let's have a blast!!" She cheers as she pulls a party cannon, which was under her seat, and fires confetti into the air. There were giggles all around, but everything started to slow down as I thought I heard something whoosh right behind me. I look behind the entrance and saw nothing. I look to my left to see the window was open and the curtains were moving from the wind. I shrugged it off and continued my welcoming party.
Author's Note
