Emily's Mind

Oh god I'm running late! I looked at my alarm clock and noticed it was 7:07. I missed my damn bus! Quickly getting out of bed I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, fixed my hair up into the way I liked it, and put on my cloths consisting of blue jeans, black ankle high socks, red Nike Air Force 1 shoes, white t-shirt, grey zipper less hoodie, and my prescription retro style glasses. I didn't eat breakfast because I was trying to watch my diet recently, but enough about that, I'm late as hell! Quickly putting on my backpack filled with my books and stuff, because I don't trust lockers, I stepped into the garage and put on my bike helmet and pads, got onto my bike and zoomed out the open door.

The good thing about where I live is that I know a shortcut to school, well not really a shortcut as much as it is another route. The bus usually goes it but not until it's 5th or sixth pick up. Thank god my school time doesn't start until 8:20. Much later after going down said route I parked my bike in the school bike parking area and went inside panting as I was nearly out of breath.

"Good morning. And welcome to Tennessee Grainger High School..."

WHO SAID THAT!? Oh it's the intercom. But then out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the teachers looking pretty messed up and having a shocked look on his face. Ah I'm not the only one who's late.

"SUCKERRRRR!" I shouted to him as he ran by me, "Hehehe."

"The time is, 8:47 A.M..."

Shit! I didn't know I was that late! I quickly rushed down the right hall to head to my first period Art class. I am so dead! As a Junior more is expected out of you! I'm gonna embarrass every Junior at this rate!  I am so dead though with my art teacher. I need to buy a watch. I've already gotten five tardies and three detentions, they could expel me. Oh well, what can ya do? I arrived in Art class panting, but saw the teacher was out. Oh hell yes lucky day! I put my backpack with the others and took a seat at my assigned seat. Maybe this won't be quiet the shit day after all.

For once I wish I was wrong. Of coarse we had to be doing watercolors! The one thing everybody never wants to do!  Man when I make it big, I'm gonna make sure that I petition for watercolors to be banned.

"A reminder to all Juniors and Seniors of Grainger High. Finals will be beginning tomorrow in the morning..."

Oh man. I forgot about that. I need to study. When the bell rang I gathered my backpack and headed off to find my friend Ashley. I found her at her locker, her long brown hair going to her shoulders was still the same, still wearing that sleeveless black shirt I gave her as well as her sleeveless red and black flannel shirt along with her black pants and white shoes. When I came up to her she looked at me with a smug grin.

"Morning Emily. Looks like you ran late." She said.

"Yeah you know what? I don't even care anymore. By the time I get to homeroom, Adam is gonna know I was an hour late, I figure I'm either expelled or I'm not." I said.

I then looked behind myself. Is someone following me? I looked to see no one. Okay good.

"When homeroom starts, I'm gonna stroll in there like I own the damn place. Take my time, make some cookies with the room oven. If I'm expelled, I could probably jack some office supplies or some books or something on the way out. I could just stuff things in a big duffel bag, no one is going to notice." I said.

"Will you quit quoting Freeman's Mind and be honest. You know you'd never get away with it." Ashley said.

"Well you know, Austin's never really near his laptop. I could just walk right up to it unguarded and take it. Hell, I could grab some of the knives in the kitchen. That'll make my life easier with my own knife collection." I said.

"Whatever sister." Ashley said.

"Will you stop calling me that you prick!" I shouted with a blush.

Ashley just started laughing. Prick.

Homeroom door was right in front of me. Okay act calm, act calm, if I don't act calm they're gonna know something's up when I walk in there. I opened the door and walked in. Okay easy control your breathing, breath normal, breath normal, that'll make you calm. As I walked in I remembered something, oh god they'll see me. Okay keep against the wall and try to walk straight past the desk. I laid back first to the wall and began moving across it and was nearly past the desk. Don't make eye contact. Just walk walk-

"Hey Ms. Summers."

Damn it! I looked to see my homeroom teacher Adam Wolfenbarger at his desk.

"I had a bunch of messages for you but we had a system crash about twenty minutes ago and I'm still trying to find my files."

I was so close!

"Just one of those days I guess. They were having some problems with the printer too when they were trying to print out your files as well, but  think that's all straightened out. First Sargent Thacker also told me to make sure you headed down to the JROTC room as soon as you got through with lunch." Adam said as he was typing on his computer.

Really. Maybe I'm not expelled. In that case I have all the free time in the world to play the computer.

"Someone has hidden my glasses again." I heard someone say in the other room.

Uhh, yeah. Now let's see what's on YouTube shall we? I plugged in my headphones from my hoodie, clicked on google chrome and headed to YouTube.

"...Wait a minute. This is a windows blue screen. And you're typing on it like you know what you're doing. You're not doing anything."

"Let me help you."

"Shut up."

I cracked a chuckle as I watched Freeman's Mind episode 2.

"You're just looking busy, it's your whole job isn't it? Looking busy. Look ya have to reboot it. Where's the reset button? Is this it?"

Freeman pressed the button in the video and an alarm rang.

"By god what are you doing?!"

"Hey stop that."

"Well that's not it."

"Come on Gordon, ya trying to get me into trouble?!"

The alarm stopped.

"Okay you can all go to hell if your all gonna act like that."

I started laughing. I gotta remember that line for later. Suddenly the bell rang. Yes! Time for lunch! I unplugged my headphones and exited out of google chrome and headed out the door. Lunch. The only good part of prison, I mean school. I'm glad I'm not expelled. Stealing from school is a lot more stressful than not stealing from school. There's just no comparison. Wait. This isn't... Oh damn. I'm in the wing where Art is! I didn't mean to go this way! I guess this why people say you need to pay attention to where you walk. .... Am I hearing things? I came up to one of the computer rooms and placed my ear next to it, there was music playing. OH god, it better not be what I think it is. I listened in closer... eeyup. It's what I thought it was. Powerplant from One Must Fall 2097. Wonder if it's loud as hell. Well. Time to figure out.

I opened the door and... GAAAAAH! MY FUCKIGN EARS!

"TURN DOWN THE MUSIC YOU FRIGGIN 80'S KIDS!" I shouted into the room, "IT SOUNDS LIKE A RAVE PARTY IN HERE GOOD GOD! JUST GET SOME HALF NAKED CHICKS AND A DISCO BALL IN HERE WHY DON'T YOU! GOOD LORD!"

I quickly closed the door turning the music down. Man, computer students. Who KNOWS what they do in those classes. They're gonna go deaf before the end of finals at that rate. Next time I go in there I'll bring some ear protection. I made my way back to the lunch line and got my lunch. Chicken sandwich, my favorite! You know now that I think about it, going to school that's made up of hallways kind of makes me feel like an evil scientist. I always wanted to be an evil scientist when I was younger.

"Mwehahaha. Ahahahaha. Huwehahaha! Ahahahaha- okay I better chill out, I don't want a repeat of Wednesday." I said to myself as I sat down at an outside table

Well time to start eating!

Oh man I am fulll. These chicken sandwiches were designed for people going on diets. If my body could withstand it I could fill my entire blood stream with this stuff and be a living chicken woman. Oh if on- am I seeing thing? From my vantage point I saw three student pushing a large create towards the football field. I don't remember an announcement for any new equipment. Okay since I'm on the school paper I might as well go Frank West and report this. I already took out my garbage from eating, soooo, time to get expelled. I took out my phone as the bell rang and ran towards the football field being sure not to get caught. Time to make history.

Sneaking through the gate I used the zoom function of the camera to look at the crate. IT looked like two of the biology seniors were the ones near the crate. They were beginning to unbox it and then it looked like they were taking something out- oh my god. Am I hallucinating? That's freaking uranium! How the fuck do we have the budget for uranium?! I took a quick picture and noticed they were pulling out something else. What is that some kind of gun? I took another quick picture and then another one as they loaded the uranium inside it. What is that? Is that some kind of project biology is working on? That can't be. Uranium is expensive as hell. This is freaking me out. I think it's time to leave.

As I went for the gate my eyes were in disbelief. What the fuck?! What?! How?! Why?! HOW THE FUCK DID SOMEONE CHAIN THE FENCE!? I ran up to it and started shaking the gate hoping it was just a joke, but no it was real! There was a damn lock and everything! Who the fuck locked me in?!

"HEY! ANYONE OUT THERE?! HELP!" I shouted from the fence.

"Intruder!" I heard a voice.

OH DAMN THEY SPOTTED ME! Okay it's time to climb! I tried to climb only to keep falling on my ass. THIS WAS A BAD IDEA! I'M A BAD PERSON! WHY DID I THINK DOING THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?! There was a bang and everything went black. What happened?! What is this?! Am I dead?! I don't feel dead. But how would I know?! If this is what it's like to be dead than being dead sucks! There was a flash of white and I was right next to the crate. Oh shit that's the crate! How did I get over here?! There was another flash of white and.... I was in a forest?

"What the fuck." I said to myself as I noticed my surroundings

Another flash of white, and, what the hell? I'm in space?! No! I don't wanna be a schizophrenic! Everything was black again. Oh my god this is insanity incarnate with a side order of bat-shit.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha."

WHAT THE HELL, WHO LAUGHED?! I'm going insane! I can't go insane now! No, no, no, no, no, no ,no, no! What the? Ah, ha ha! I'm not in crazy land anymore! I'm back in the school! Which is on fire. And the fire alarm was going off. What the hell happened?! How long was I out?! Am I dreaming?! I pinched myself to make sure. I felt pain. Holy hell I'm not dreaming. Okayyyy, WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! Okay looks like I'm in the bus entrance of the school. Annd it's blocked by fire. Do we have a secret lab here? It looks like the Half-Life residence cascade of real life. That must've been what happened! We created a residence cascade! Holy hell I hope Ashley's okay, she's been my friend since kindergarten, if I lost her I don't know where I'd be right now. Man you can smell the money burning in this place.

Going down the left hallway I saw the body of a male student. I went that way only for.... GOD, JEEZ, GOD! The locker exploded and fell onto the student blowing his body to bits. I hate lockers! WHY DO THEY ALWAYS BLOW UP WHEN I USE THEM?! Stepping over the locker I took a closer look at the building. Man this place got romped. I guess I'll start looting after all. Ehhh. I'll get out of here first then come back with a wheelbarrow so I can really do this right. Maaan. This is just like that one time I stayed up for a week last summer studying and thought our house was being invaded by sexy anthropomorphic animals coming to kidnap me and turn me into one of them.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha."

Oh god it's that laugh again. Where the fuck is it coming from?! Suddenly a white flash appeared and... oh my god that's a headcrab. Oh go what do I do?! I can't turn back. Okay I can do this! I am a matador! I fearlessly- it launched itself at me and bit my head before flying to the other side of the hallway.

"AH GOD, JESUS, SHIT, FUCK, PISS, DUIGH! THOSE THINGS BITE LIKE FREEMAN SAID! DAMN IT" I shouted as I ran to the other side of the hall passing the  office at the entrance which again was blocked by fire, "Okay I'm starting to feel pretty naked here without a weapon. This is such a slap to the face. There's gotta be a dead policeman I can loot from around this building."

I rounded the corner and headed straight down the hallway with more lockers. I swear these things are my version of Markiplier's mannequin fear. If that one locker I had during middle school hadn't fell on me and nearly killed me I would be fine with them right now.  But due to the fact one exploded back there I can't trust them right now! Oh my god is that a wrench? I went over to the spilled tool bucket and picked up the pipe wrench. Oh my god this is friggin perfect. Now I can beat the snot out of people. Oh boy I can't wait to get outside, they'll be all like, "Emily Summers we thought you were dead!" And I'll be like, "You thought wrong!"

"Pap!" I shouted swinging the wrench.

Okay time to see if I can break a window. I came to a fork in the hallway and went down the path that lead to a glass door leading to the outside. It was jammed, but then looking at the row of glass windows I readied my wrench and busted through a section of the lower glass. Yes! A way out! I gotta find Ashley first though. Oh I hope she's still alive.

The JROTC room. The only room from the looks of things that's still in one piece. I opened the door and stepped inside. What the? Gun shots! I went to the other section of the room and saw a dying cop as his gun was right next to him and there was a headcrab zombie student. Was it Ashley? Nope. No flannel on him, her? I can't really tell. But hey, free gun! I picked up the glock 17 and was smiling. This is perfect. Now I can solve up to ten problems a minute. Hey does he have any ammo? Eeyup, he does. Taking the ammo and replacing the half empty cartridge I placed the cartridge into my backpack. Whelp, time to play god. I heard banging on the uniform room door.

"Who's there! I've got a pipe wrench, and a fully loaded glock 17 and I ain't afraid to use it!" I shouted at the door pointing the gun.

"It's me!" I heard Ashley's voice

I quickly opened the door and saw Ashley holding a Colt Python.

"Holy fuck, where did you get a Colt Python?!" I asked

"One of the policemen had one." Ashley said, "Oh are you kidding me?! You've got a pipe wrench AND a glock?! Damn all you need now is a H.E.V suit or H.E.C.U Marine outfit and you're good to go!"

"Ha. Ha. Ha." I deadpanned, "Can we just focus on getting out of here?! I keep hearing a strange laughter and I think I might be going insane!"

Suddenly there was an explosion.

"What the?! The hell did that come from?!" I shouted.

Then in a flash of white and a teleportation noise, I turned around to see a headcrab. It flung itself at me but I ducked only to hear a bite noise. I looked to see Ashley's head now being taken over by the headcrab. No. NO! I grabbed the Colt Python Ashley dropped and looked to see six rounds exactly in it. Taking aim I fired and shot the headcrab as it planted its hook like appendages into Ashley's body. Oh god why?! WHY?! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?!

"THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs.

"Make sense? What fun is there in making sense?"

"WHO'S THERE!"

Suddenly there was a flash of white and I found myself in a black room standing right in front of a...

"Jesus!" I shouted out of fear.

Standing right in front of me was a humanoid wearing a brown suit and red tie and black soes carrying a briefcase with what looks to  be a yellow apple on it, his skin was grey, his eyes were yellow with red pupils, he had a white beard as well as white messy hair, a fang sticking out of he left of his mouth, and two different antlers.

"So Emily Summers, we meet at last. I have took the liberty of relieving you of your weapons, most of them were not exactly yours." The creature said.

What? I check. Oh god he took my weapons. Holy hell he must be a god.

"Please don't think that I caused all this just to give you hell, there are many matters that acquire my attention in these troubled times. And now I require further indulgence on your part, Emily, I can't leave this world until every lose end has been tied up. The biggest embarrassment has been the humans finding my old Displacer gun from my first rule of Equestria, but frankly I think that's finally been taken care of itself, quiet so." The creature explained.

Uh, what?

"But there is, however, still the lingering matter of witnesses, I have to admit I have a fascination with those like yourself, your type rather remind me of myself in a way. If for no other reason I have argued to preserve you for a time." The creature stated.

Excuse me?

"While I believe a, ahem, civil servant, like yourself understands the importance of discretion, my friends are not quiet so trusting to new species that much. So rather than continually subject you to the irresistible temptation of telling all, we've decided to convey you somewhere where you can do no possible harm, and no harm can come to you. I am sure, Emily Summers, that you can imagine that there are worse alternatives." The creature said.

Oh god he's gonna leave me here to die! I can't let that happen, quick think fast!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." I said, "You're just gonna leave me here? I can't stay here! I wanted to die as a rich person who made a contribution to society! Not live here like a prisoner! There's gotta be something else you can do with me!"

"Hmmmmm. I think there's something I can do." The creature said.

"What is it?!" I asked.

"I can put you into another world where you don't exist. There you can do whatever you want whenever you want. All you have to do is sign a contract stating you accept any at all consequences in the near future of what you do in said world." The creature said.

"Where is that contract?" I asked.

And then it suddenly appeared in a white flash right in front of me with a quill with ink on it. Okay then, not the weirdest thing I've seen today. I took the quill and wrote my name on the contract. It then disappeared as well as the quill.

"Good." The creature said.

"Now what? Do I get my weapons back?" I asked.

"The ones you had will have to be earned back, you'll be able to find them quiet easily, not to mention a plethora of new weapons as well." The creature said.

Oh holy hell yes!

"What the hell are you though?" I asked, "At that matter, WHO are you?"

"I'm not exactly human am I? Yet at the same time I produce ability's to seemingly change a lot of stuff and do what ever I want with little to no reason. I have to admit chaos is what I was born to do." The creature said, "Never the less, my name is just like every other creature like me, but compared to them, I feel more important. Call me DMan."

Like Gman. You know I've got the strangest feeling I'm about to go on an adventure that has more questions than answers. And something tells me other people have gone through this same situation as well, given the chance to live a new life only to be thrown on an adventure that had nothing to do with the original purpose as to why they were there to begin with and just giving them more questions than answers to lingering questions, and considering the multiverse theory hasn't been debunked yet it's most likely that this HAS happened before to other people. Damn I feel sorry for those people. I'm gonna be honest, if I was given the chance to live a new life only to be told I needed to go on an adventure with blah blah blah I would've just said no and stayed at my new home.

I mean if I'm going to live a new life I'm not going to spend it going on a pointless adventure, that's stupid because I could possibly die! Not to mention if I didn't die, I'd have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder like crazy! I mean how often is it that people come back from an adventure, only to not take any effect from said adventure? Never. That's how often. You'll either develop PTSD or a terrible twitch, possibly even both! I hope to god I'm not forced to go on an adventure, that would just be so ironic as hell it wouldn't even be funny. And knowing Murphy's Law it most likely will happen because that's just how my luck goes!

"Now, Emily Summers, all you have to do is just step into the portal and you can be on your way." DMan said.

He then disappeared and a portal appeared in his place. Whelp. Here goes nothing. I stepped back and ran into the portal.

"Backrubs!"

"What?!" I shouted before stepping into the portal.

I teleported so fast I couldn't even see who yelled it. Wait, oh damn I've got such a headache. Oh. I think I blacked out...

I awoke to the sound of a heart beat monitor. My eyes slowly opened and I noticed I was in a hospital bed. I'm in a hospital? Is this what that dude said about a new life? Why am I in a hospital? Was I unconscious and someone found me? Do I look different? I looked in a nearby mirror to see I was normal. Okay so I still look the same. Oh boy this is gonna be a long day from what I can tell. I heard the sound of a door opening to see- what the fuck is that?

What came through the door was a humanoid wearing a pink nurses outfit with white fur, pink hair in a bun and a long pink tail, pony ears, and baby blue eyes. Am I high right now?

"Oh!" The woman said with a surprised look, "You've woken up!"

Holy hell it spoke! Okay time to get some answers.

"Um, where am I?" I asked.

"You are in Ponyville hospital mam." The woman said.

Ponyville hospital? That sounds like something out of the mind of a comatose child.

"Okay then, who are you?" I asked.

"I'm Nurse Redheart." The woman replied

Okay?

"How did I get here?" I asked.

"You were brought here by Ms. Fluttershy who found you fatally wounded while she was trekking through the Everfree Forest."

Fatally wounded?! What the fuck did DMan do to me?! If I ever see him again I'm gonna shove that briefcase of his so far up his ass he'll have to open his mouth to scan his ID!

"How bad was it?"

"It looked like you were bleeding from your arm. There was a stab wound and it looked like you were bleeding a lot."

A stab wound. You know now that I think about a stab mark is kind of cool. I could show it to anyone who's pissing me off and pull a Heath Ledger Joker voice asking if they wanna know how I got the scar. It will make anyone leave me alone within seconds.

"Um, one more question." I said, "Are the other civilians like you?"

"Not really. Everpony here is unique in their own little way." Redheart said, "From Earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi to our alicorn princesses."

Everypony? Unicorns'? Pegasi? Alicorns? Well guess multiverse has been proven. But why would DMan send me here of all places? Couldn't he have sent me to another timeline where I didn't go after those two carrying the crate? I would've at least figured out what the cause was to make Grainger High a living hell. Come to think of it I never learned just why First Sgt. wanted me in the JROTC room. Well, knowing him he probably wanted to tell me that I was expelled personally.

"Well, I'm not a pony." I said, "I'm a human."

"Yes. I can see that." Redheart said, "Humans run long into Equestrian mythology, so practically everypony knows about them. But to think they actually existed."

Story of my life. When someone tells me something exists, I usually don't believe them, and then later I find out they were telling the truth all along so I feel like a complete asshole for not believing in them sooner.

"So how long am I gonna b in here?" I asked.

"Oh, you've been in a coma for quiet a while." Redheart explained, "We've been monitoring your progress for about a few weeks and it looks as if you've healed up."

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! I've been in damn coma for weeks!? Holy hell, stab wounds don't give you comas! Oh wait, it was probably either blood loss or DMan that did. Blood loss I can understand, but why would DMan put me in a coma anyways? For that mater of fact why would he stab me? Was it to lure me into this place without anyone being afraid of me? If so, he probably could've JUST put me into a coma, that should lure me into this town good enough. Well now what?

"Soooo. Now what?" I asked, "Where's my cloths and stuff?"

"Your backpack and clothing is at the foor of the bed." Redheart said, "It's been cleaned and fixed up while you were in your coma."

Well that's nice of them. Though when I get out of here and start working my way up to living the rich life, servants are gonna be number one on my priorities list for when I get a mansion, especially some laundry ones, but to be on the safe side I better make sure that I know they can stay loyal to me and not try to bring up an uprising. Maybe if I paid them enough to where they're getting enough to live off of, but at the same time made sure I still had billions of dollars on me. Maybe if they live in my mansion maybe then they'll probably not try to bring upon an uprising against me. Probably.

"But, I have something else to tell you." Redheart said

Oh I swear to god if it's bad news...

"Due to the fact you're not registered as an official citizen of Equestria, or Ponyville for that matter, Princess Twilight has asked us to take you to town hall where you can gt properly registered." Redheart said, "It shouldn't take long."

Well it isn't bad news but it ain't good news either.

"Well. I'll leave to let you get dressed." Redheart said, "When your done come meet me in the lobby."

And with that said she left. ..... Okay I need about this for a moment. .......... I'm starting to wonder if not wearing any panties or a bra today was a bad idea and is gonna come back to haunt me a some point.
