Chapter III: Questionnaires With Princess Celestia

I sat there, simply in disbelief at what was before my eyes. The Royal Princess, majestic, regal, and anything else you could use to describe someone as magnificent as she was. Thought one thing confused me, when she entered the room, the only noticeable feature was her frown.

...

"Ahhhh! Princess Celestia, it's wonderful to see you here! Come right on in!" Twilight Sparkle said with a rather unrealistic smile on her face, motioning for the princess to enter her house."

"When you said that a human was here, I tried to get here as quickly as I could." The Princess replied, still with a frown on her face. " So, where is this human, I'd like to meet him and ask him a few questions."

"Oh yes right this way." Twilight Sparkle responded, motioning for Princess Celestia to follow her.

As Twilight Sparkle led Princess Celestia into the room where I was being held, She said to her,

"Here he is, we found him passed out in Applejack's orchard, none of us had ever seen him before so I took him here." she explained to Celestia promptly, "Recently, he just woke up and started panicking, saying he was a human so I knew i had to let you know."

"Well it's a really good thing you did," Princess Celestia replied, turning to face me, "because something really important must of had to have happen for him to be here."

"What do you mean Princess Celestia?" she asked with a quizzical look on her face. "I mean, I know that this is an odd event to say the least, but what makes so important?"

"All of this, I will be happy to explain to you later my young pupil, but for now, may I speak to this man in private?" She asked kindly with almost a look of... worry? Like she was trying to get Twilight Sparkle out of the room.

"This must really be important for Princess Celestia to act... so... worried." I thought to myself, scratching my head with my hoof, yet still not used to my new body.

"Uhhhh.... Sure, okay Princess" Twilight Sparkle said, closing the door, her facial expression making it obvious that she now really wanted to know what was making Princess Celestia so antsy.

And as soon as the door clicked shut, Princess Celestia's worried look immediately was replaced by a slight frown as she turned and looked at me, trying to hide in the corner.

"Oh don't be so silly, I'm not going to hurt you, I only want to ask you a few questions!" she said slowly walking up to me, holding out her hoof as a sign of peace.

Afraid that she might be planning something, I just cowered even further into the corner.

"My, you remind me of one of Twilight's friends, Fluttershy." She said giggling, "But really, I honestly only wish to ask you a few simple questions."

Realizing I had no other option, I took her hoof and walked with her to the middle of the room and sat down, on a cushion and prepared for her questions.

"So, do you know how you got here?" She started looking at me with questioningly

"Yes, it all happened when I... when I..." I said, struggling to remember, but somehow, it felt as if something was blocking my memory from me, "I can't remember..." now giving Princess Celestia a confused look.

After say this, Celestia's face, once again,became fill with worry, but upon noticing what she was doing, quickly put on a fake smile and tried to resume as if nothing had happened

"Okay, on with the next question--"

"Everything alright, Princess, it is princess right?" I asked cocking my head sideways, wondering what all the oddness was about

"Yes everything is alright," She said, her face returning to "normal,"  "and yes I am a princess but you can simply refer to me as Celestia." she finished with a smile.

"But back to the questions," she resumed, " second question, do you happen to remember anything from your life before you were transported here?"

That to, I could not remember, and simply shook my head saying, "No..." but this time, I looked carefully at her face to see if she would would get worried again, but to my dismay she kept a straight face this time and simply kept going on with her questions.

"Okay, question 3: does this image remind you of anything?" she said, slowly handing me an image. An image containing what appeared to have an open little chest, and inside it contained a... a small, circular, black, GEM!

Then suddenly I involuntary let out a cry and my vision became obscured while images of the events right before I entered Ponyville flashed before my eyes. And when my vision returned I let out a small yelp and jumped back shivering at what just happened before me.

"A gem, it was a small circular black gem that brought me here!" I cried to Princess Celestia, explaining what happened; "I was going down a trail one day my bike crashed and I found that little chest that had that gem and when i touched it, it brought me here!" I yelled looking at Celestia, who was just surprised as I was.

"Well that answers those questions, but do you remember anything else? Anything other than what brought you here

Dismayed, I responded with a shake of my head and looked down

"Don't worry my young friend," The princess said looking down at me, "I knew someone else how might be able to help out?"

"Who?" I asked

And as if on cue, the burst open and Twilight Sparkle who said, "Is everypony alright? I heard screaming! IS SOMEPONY HURT!"

Taken back by the passion in this pony I looked up and said to Princess Celestia with a confused face, "Her?"

"Of course not!" she said with a laugh "But now that you mention her, Twilight?" she asked,

"Yes Princess Celestia?" she said almost immediately, eager to do as her princess commanded

"Go get your friends, I'm sure they would love to meet him," She said, directing her attention to me, "You and I are going to go see someone who might know what to do about this..."

"Who?" I said, eager to know the mystery person, I'd be going off to see.

"My sister," she said, "Princess Luna."
