(Cancelled) The Nightmares of Yesterday

Nightmares of the Past

-Crash Landing-

Lying in bed, the sun, peeking through the morning fog, gently coaxing you awake with its blissfully warming rays, life doesn’t get much better than this.

"Morning, Honey"

“BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP”

Huh?....

“WARNING, WARNING”

I shot from my relaxing slumber by a piercing electronic voice and a cockpit tinted red from the blaring emergency instruments.

“WARNING ,WARNING, BRACE FOR IMPACT, WARNING,WARNING”

The sudden realization of the issue hit me liking a freight train. Not only was I seconds from a fiery death, but from impact on a…. planet? A PLANET! Without a second to spare, I yanked up as hard as humanly possible on the yoke. The spacecraft whined under pressure as it was pushed to its limits. That’s all that I remember before everything worked its way suddenly to the absence of color. Black.

Lights out.

“He-……….ddy?”

Wha….wha..t?

“…..lloo?”

My eyes burned from being so hastily introduced to light. Something wasn’t right; I couldn’t quite figure it out in my currently dazed condition. There was something trying to communicate with me. Wait… Something was there. It all came back to me. The monsters, the blood… I grabbed for the nearest thing possible, in this case was a piece of metal debris, and swung violently. I felt nothing connect.

“Hey! What the hell!”

After being shot from my daze, I could accurately analyze the situation and choose the best route to attack the mo-….pony? This can’t be right, are my eyes deceiving me? Nope, there it was, clear as day.

“I’m not gonna hurt ya’, just put down the metal…”

I reluctantly obeyed the little-erm…pony, and layed the piece of the debris down next to my boot.

“Who are you and where in the fuck am I?” I said, somewhere in the void between yelling and speaking.

“Th’names Rainbow Dash, and I’m thinking the same thing about you right now. I was just headin' over the Applejacks barn, when I saw this smokin’ pile a junk here in the middle of this now half destroyed orchard. Did you crash here from um…up there?” The small cyan pony pointed a han- erm, hoof towards the sky.

That’s when I remembered. All the alarms, my futile attempts to save myself from the imminent fiery death of crashing into an unknown planet. I tried to raise myself from the ground, only to be seized by the searing pain that was coming from my left thigh. The adrenaline from what I thought was another necromorph surprise attack had soon worn off; I felt the brunt of all the pain associated with a shattered femur. I collapsed directly into the ground. For the second time. Lights. Out.

I awoke for the second time, from what I thought was the best damned sleep I have ever had. Except this time I didn’t rouse from my bed, but from what seemed to be an armless loveseat. My legs were awkwardly supported by what looked like a bedside table and a few pillows. Another difference was the absence of pain in my thigh. With further inspection, I found that it still hurt, but only when I put pressure on it. Still a shit ton better than what it was before.

I had it again, that eerie feeling that something is there, watching you. I instinctively reached for my cutter, but found that it wasn’t there. Nor was my rig. Instead, I was wearing nothing but my under garments. I inspected the room the currently housed me, and saw what seemed to be a quaking yellow and pink blob near the door.

“He-…Hello?”

“eeepp”

Well that was helpful to the situation. My thought process was cut short by the sound of another sound of hoofsteps.

“Hey shy! What are y-…Look who’s awake…”
The cyan Pegasus from before stared at me with what looked like a mixture of fear and curiosity.

“Yeah, and I really want to know where the hell I am.”

“Well in a nutshell, you woke up, attacked me, broke your leg and passed out. Do you know how long it took to fly you here BY MYSELF? Not to even mention getting you out of that tin can you were wearing, that I still don't understand. So now I wanna know what you are and what you’re doing here.”

She had a point, I guess I just never looked at that way, I was the alien.

“look, I will explain it all to you later, but now I need to get mov-“

I was cut off by a blur of yellow and pink slamming into me like a rouge locomotive.

“oh NO YOU DON’T! YOUR GONNA STAY IN BED AND REST UP UNTIL YOU HEAL MR.!”
I guess while she was in a care fueled rage, she forgot about the reason I was there in the first place and tackled me back into the bed. I will put it this way, it didn’t tickle my leg.

“GAAAAAAAAHHH!” My screams of agony certainly deflated her and any bit of anger she had left.

“Oh, oh my I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to--*squeal*”

“It’s *pant* fine…How did you manage to heal my leg so fast though?”

“Our friend Twilight stopped in while you were sleeping; she’s an egghead and knows all these spells. Well, at least they

come in hand…” Rainbow said as she trailed off.

“Wait…Did you say ‘spells’? Are there, like, wizards here or something?” I realized that things were getting weirder and weirder by the minute.

“What now? Um… Are you sure you didn’t bump your head when you crashed?” Rainbow said quite puzzled.

“No, you just said I got healed by magic. Can ponies preform magic?”

“Well yeauh, unicorns…”

Did she just say “Unicorns”? Maybe I’m crazy…Whatever, hopefully things will get explained later.

Dear Princess Celestia

It has come to my attention that we have recovered an unidentified space craft that crashed at Sweet Apple Acres. Inside was an alien, but is more similar to us then we could of ever suspected, socially and anatomically. I implore you to further access the situation, but until then, he is safely recovering from his crash in Fluttershy’s cottage. I managed to help in the recovery process by piecing back the bone in his leg for a quicker recovery with a spell from my book of Medical Magic that I learned recently.

You’re Faithful Student
