Same Life, new Body

Might as well start small I guess. And moving anything might set them off. So…

“So it does speak...” The tall white one said. I would’ve made a snarky remark. But, yeah… “Can you tell me why you are here?” It asked.

“I honestly have no idea. Don’t even know where I am.” I answered. “Only thing I know is I passed out while drowning before I woke up here.” Huh, that last bit made all of them gasp.

Wait, why did they gasp? They care or something?

Nah, can’t be that. The movies never portray anything being true.

The white one cleared its throat.

“C-can you tell us what you were doing before you… woke up, here?” Whitey asked.

“I was at a pool party with friends. Someone pushed me into the pool as a joke, there was a bright flash of light. A-and you can pretty much guess what happened from there.” And that’s going off on whether this all in my head or not.

God lord, all I can hope is that I'm in a coma at a hospital. At least then I know my family is there.

And at least that situation is better than what currently seems more plausible. ‘Cause really, how can the average human brain come up with shit like this? Talking horses with wings and horns and colors that make all of this look like a three-year-old’s paradise? Please.

Give me a damn break.

“W-well, can you remember anything that may have… brought you here?” The tall rainbow marshmallow asked.

“I d-don't know.” I said while shrugging. Ugh, even that felt weird. Like, I’m all slimey or-

Ooooh, right. Yeah, I’m apparently slimey, form what that pink one said.

Wait. Hold the fuck up.

Did… Did I just believe what an alien said? Did I just really?

Ugh… Yes, yes I did.

Am I truly insane now? Did I just fall off the deep end?

I am inclined to believe that at this point.

“I… I see...” Whitey said while trailing off. While I could only stare; and try to not shit myself. The thing spoke again, it’s head turning at an angle that looks just wrong.

“Twilight, can you show me which spell caused this?”

That’s a name here..?

… Of course it is. What am I thinking? Like a human, I guess.

“O-of course!” The purple one, or, Twilight, said. The two of them walked off. Leaving me with the other… horse things, and that lizard thing. Actually… It looks more like… a short dragon…

Seems legit.

Anyway, I didn’t even think of moving. For fear of giving them a reason to do… well, anything, unpleasant to me.

The tall blue one stepped forward, fuck.

“Greetings, creature,” It spoke. “We suspect thou to be confused. Do not fret, for we mean no harm.” It said.

Yeah, like that’s going to fucking help with the face you’re making, which is completely blank.

Yeah, that piece of pure serial killer face and voice is really calming me down right now.

Yeah.

…

Aaaaaand it’s silent again. Am I sweating? I can’t even tell anymore.

Oh wait, I’m feeling cold all of sudden. Yeah, I can swe-

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie! Do you like parties? I like-” The pink horse thing somehow appeared less than two inches away from my face, speaking so fast I couldn’t even tell what it was saying. I tried frantically back away from it. But it seemed intent on staying close, all while spewing words and syllables at me.

“Pinkie.” I heard a voice say. “Thou must keep thy distance from the creature. Thou appear to be frightening it.” Oh, it was the blue one. And did it… did it just save me?

Ok, seriously, what the absolute fuck is going on?

But, the pink one, or Pinkie, froze. Eyes scanning me; seemingly realizing something, and next thing I know, it disappears in a cloud of dust, only to reappear next to tall and blue. What I could tell was an apologetic look on… Pinkie’s, face.

“Oh! Sorry~” Pinkie said in a sing-song tone. “Sometimes I get carried away.”

“We see that, Pinkie. But we advise caution around the creature. We do not know what it is capable of.” Bluey spoke. And while I did feel a bit degraded at being referred to as a creature. But… to them, I really am alien. So… Yeah, can’t be mad at them for that. I’m calling them ‘it’ too either way.

“Uuhm… I-I d-don’t mean harm e-either.” I managed to only barely stutter.

Good progress, I guess. I can speak semi-normally. Where’s my gold medal?

“Thou speak the truth?” Bluey asked. “While we are inclined to believe thine statements. We must practice caution.”

“I… Understand.” I meeped. “If an alien th-thing just appeared out n-nowhere. I g-guess I'd be a little c-cautious too…” I said with a weak laugh.

“We agree to thine sentiments. But we must ask, why art thou still trembling like an autumn leaf?” It asked.

“I… Well… Uh…” I tried to start, but mostly failed in the form of blubbering like an idiot. “I-I’m kinda scared right n-now…” I admitted.

This confused the blue thing, for some reason. I wonder fucking why.

“Pray tell, why art thou afraid?” It asked.

“Eeeeeeh… Well… Uhm...” I was drawing blank, I couldn’t think of a way to properly say that I’m basically besieged on all sides by aliens. At least, without possibly offending them.

‘Cause that’s the last thing I want to do. I quite like my life to remain intact.

But, to my utter horror, the pink one answered that question for me.

“It’s scared because it’s never seen anything like us before! And it doesn’t know what where’re gonna do to it!” It practically sung all that stuff out while throwing its front… legs I guess, around.

But besides that, pure, unadulterated fear filled me when it said all of that, leaving me to turn my head slowly back to the blue one’s face, which was doing the same after turning to the pink one. An unreadable expression to its face.

And that terrified me to the very core of my being.

Time seemed to crawl at a snail's pace, I could only watch that blank look on its face. I couldn’t move, I didn’t want to move…

…

I just wanna go home… I want to wake up from this nightmare, to see my family, mom, dad. I just want to wake up…

I realized I closed my eyes. And I was apparently crying…

Well… What better way to accept my fate? Might as well take it like this.

I froze; something just touched my shoulder.

What? Why is something on my shoulder..?

… Might as well figure out what is I guess…

It was truly a sad scene to the Princess of the Night; Here she was, trying to establish the fact that she, along with her sister and the Element of Laughter and everypony else involved, that they do not plan what the gooey creature thinks they were intending to do. Princess Luna said one, single sentence. And that seemed to have caused the creature more stress, an opposite effect she wanted to have on the creature.

Poor creature. Her heart went out for the thing. For she knows what it’s like to be in that position; to be in a land she knew nothing about, with faces completely unknown to her. She was thankful to at least have her sister and the elements by her side in this odd, new world.

But, here is this creature, experiencing the same, but with nopony to help. Nopony to rely on, nopony to tell it everything will be ok, that in the end, there are good times ahead.

Princess Luna felt an odd connection to the creature. She knew it was due to the situation the creature found itself in. She knew what exactly what it feels like.

And that irked her to no end.

The princess knew at that moment, she had to help the creature whichever way she could.

She realized, all of this did not sit well with her, none of it did. This creature, this innocent, seemingly harmless creature, was in an alien world. Scared senseless, and most importantly to her, afraid.

Alone, and afraid.

It was at this moment Princess Blueberry decided to make it her duty to aid the creature any way she could. She could not stand watching this innocent thing suffer meaninglessly.

Now… If only she can begin to comfort the poor thing. At least, in way to let the creature know she really means no harm.

Sooooo… This blue thing’s been staring at me for a few seconds. I think it looks pensive; like it's trying to figure out what to say next.

But, shouldn't it be..? I don't know, anything else besides looking like it's walking on eggshells?

“We apologize, creature,” Holy shit it's speaking to me, why? Why is it doing that? “we truly mean no ill intent onto thine life. We only wish to send you back whence you came.”

…

…

…

...WAT!?

“... Or, at the very least, we wish to be freinds, creature. We know what it is like to be in thine… hooves; in a land unknown to your own. Unknown ponies looking upon you malignantly. And while we had ponies to trust, thou do not.”

No kidding.

“We wish to rectify this… And we would like to… to become thy trusted friend.” It said.

WHAT!?

It… it wants to be friends with me!? It doesn't want to make me a guinea pig!?

… Maybe this is gonna be like one of those kiddie movies? Maybe I can- no. This all HAS to be some ploy to lull me into a false sense of security. Yeah, that’s it, that’s what this one’s doing right now…

Right?

Yes! That’s exactly what’s going on! Hehe… he… yeah…

“We see you are still hesitant, creature.” It stated like it was a matter of fact.

Fuck…

“Very well, we shall prove to thee we wish thee no harm.” It said while raising its head. “Thou shalt live with me, creature. Under our protection, nopony will be able lay a single hoof onto you. We promise thee, no harm will done to you… Should thee accept.” It said.

…

It does care about me…

I don't know how… I don't know why… But, I'm somehow finding it within myself to… actually trust this thing… I don't… Hah…

I mean… After it said that, the look on its face… And it had this… Friendly, determined aura around it. At that it felt as if I could trust this thing with my life… It actually feels kinda familiar…

But where..?

Oh… I think I know; mom. I've only felt this way around my mom.

This thing is reminding me of my mom…

… Huh. I feel a little better. Not as terrified as before… But still. I can think straight now. I think…

Yeah. Now that I think about it. These things could've done anything if they wanted to at this point. I can only assume if these things really didn’t care about me, they’d be doing things to me already without any ceremony.

It’d just be like Predator, except without the hunting part.

So… I guess I can trust this thing… it did say it knows what it's like to be me right now too…

As much as I want to know what that meant, I really had no choice to comply. But… at least, I think this thing has my back. And that alone makes me kinda feel better…

Aaaaaand I just realized the tall blue one’s been staring at me hopefully. Oh jesus, say something!

“Uuuhm… I-I accept.” I only managed to stutter once, go me. Yay me, yaaaaaaaaws, me.

… Why the fuck did I just think that?

“Huzza!” Tall and blue cheered. “We have made friends with the creature!” It said while throwing one of its front legs up theatrically. It also struck a pose and its… wings, were unfurled. How did I not notice its wings?

Anyway, I noticed movement to my left, and saw that the tall white one and… Twilight if I heard right, walking back in from another room.

“Luna? What are cheering about?” It asked. It was addressing tall bluey.

“Sister! We have most joyous news!” It cheered. To its, sister...

Wait…

SISTER!? The two tall ones are SISTERS!?
