Same Place, Same Time, Different Body

After a few more minutes of being frustrated, I went downstairs to get dinner.

"Man I'm so hungry. Probably because I skipped every meal today."

I looked around at what I could make. There were tortillas, bread, cereal, and a bunch of other things that you would normally have in a kitchen. I decided I would make a hot tortilla on the stove, just because it was easy and it took a minute.

I got out pans by flying up to the cupboards which were really high, so this helped. I put it down, and heated it up on the stove. I put on a tortilla, and in less than a minute I had dinner. I admit, it's not the best thing to have, but hey: if you want to survive the night, and someone finds you, you're gonna be glad you had that tortilla.

Anyway, after eating I went to bed because there isn't much to do when you're trapped in your own house. I settled down, and fell asleep immediately.

-=-Dreaming-=-

"You're not the only one Jack."

"You're not the only one."

"They will find you before you find them..."

---Morning---

I got up, and yawned loudly. My wings had gone numb from sleeping on them last night.

"I need to make sure that doesn't happen again..." I grumbled.

All of my doors and windows were shut, locked, and covered.

"I really need to get out. Badly. I can't trap myself in here forever!" I groaned to myself.

"But I need to avoid them. What if they find me? I'll probably just teleport somewhere safe, I guess."

I closed my eyes, and thought about my backyard. I thought about the feeling of the ground. I thought about the few trees around me. I thought of the direct location I would be.

Then I jumped.

In a flash of light, I appeared outside my house, in the backyard, exactly where I imagined.

'Cool.'

'That was easier than I thought.'

I decided I would take a walk through my area, and see everybody's reactions.

First I walked down a street near mine, and somebody was hosing off their car after they had washed it. It was a nice, hot and sunny weekend. It was the perfect day to get out.

The man saw me out of the corner of his eye, and turned around. He just stood there and stared at me, hose in his hands. I waved to him, and he dropped the hose on the ground, and the water splashed in his face when he dropped it. How it did that, I don't know, but it was hilarious!

I kept walking, and I got further into the more populated areas. Cars were going by, a few people were on the streets, and a few shops lines the sides. When I was walking down the sidewalk, all the traffic that went by me slowed down. I thought it was pretty funny.

I had some money kept under my wing just in case I was hungry, so I went into the 7-11 close by to have some fun. I went in, and the guy behind the counter stared at me in disbelief. I casually grabbed a doughnut and I gave him a dollar and left saying:

"Keep the change."

I was walking around, minding my own business, eating the sugary maple doughnut I had just purchased. I was no longer in the busy area of town, and was just taking a stroll through a couple neighborhoods. Nobody was outside, so I thankfully wasn't being bombarded by anyone. I kept walking, and decided to try and eat it using my magic instead of my hands- well, hooves actually. I looked at it and imagined holding it and eating it like I was a human. To my surprise, it was surrounded in a silver aura that came over to me. I took a bite, and it was just like normal. It startled me a bit though, I have to admit.

I went to take another bite of my doughnut when I was walking, and heard a rustling in the area near me.

"Hey! Who's there?" I said, backing away.

There was more rustling in the bushes and trees. I backed away even more.

"Show yourself!" I yelled.

'Maybe this is my chance to have a brony barbeque.' I thought.

"I- I'd prefer... not to. I might be seen." said a small voice, obviously coming from a girl who sounded maybe my age, I'm not sure.

"What do you mean...?" I asked curiously, slowly making my way back to the bushes.

A small mint-colored unicorn with long, seafoam green and white hair stuck her head out from the bushes, frantically looking around to see if there was anybody there.

"Hurry! Hide before anyone sees us!"

"What? Uh, ok." I said, dashing inside the small foresty area off of the street.

I sat down, then she ran over and sat down too. She looked at me, with a huge smile on her face and a look of relief.

"You have NO idea how relieved I am to find out that I'm not the only one!" she said, extremely excited.

"Me too! I thought I was the only one out there who has this problem." I said, also slightly relieved.

'I  Guess there's no brony barbeque anymore...'

"What's your name?" I asked her.

"My name's Alicia. Alicia Halsey. Nice to meet you Jack!"

"Nice to meet you to Alicia. Now how do you know my name exactly...?"

"You're all over the news silly! That's what I wanted to avoid."

"Don't worry about it though, it's ok to be on the news and stuff. I just act casual while people sit there wide-eyed and stare at me. Like how I got this doughnut. I just bought it and left. A few people started freaking out though. I don't let it bother me, I actually find it funny." I explained to her.

"Hm."

"I think it's fine, except for yesterday when I had 300 people outside my house when I was sleeping on a cloud. I mean, is it that fascinating?"

"To them it is, considering we are mythological animals AND we look 2-Dimensional."

I lifted up my hoof and tried to examine it, but never really saw any depth or 3-dimensions.

"Weird, I guess your right. Anyway, you wanna go out there? We will probably be left alone people see that there are more than one of us." I suggested.

"Only problem is that I'm really shy, and I hate talking to people."

I looked at her with an "Oh really?" face.

"Excluding you."

"Haha. Okay, then in that case, I'll handle the talking if it requires it. Otherwise, we should probably keep a low profile. If we are crowded with people we can just teleport away. You know how to do that, right?" I asked. "You are a unicorn, so you would be more skilled in magic than me."

"Um, no."

I sighed, and gave her the quick overview.

"Basically, just think where you want to go, in the most descriptive detail as possible. Think of the area around you, and the EXACT location you will 'land'."

"Mhmm, I'm ready!"

"Now jump!"

I watched her leap into the air, and in a flash of light she was sitting on a tree stump. She slowly opened here eyes, and looked around, then at me.

"Did it work?" I asked.

"Yeah, I guess!" she said, hopping off.

"Now lets get out from the shadows."
