Lucky me.by PRIZMChaptersLet's get started.An average Friday.Shit just hit the fan.Quite the predicament.I need a drink.Let's get started."Hehehe this one will do nicely.....let's see how long he lasts.." An ominous male voice rang out darkly chuckling afterwards, it sounded old yet wise but gruff and serious. "Are you sure this is the one you want to choose?...he seems...very disrespecting of authority..." A female voice replied softly, a slight bit of confusion and surprise in her tone. "That my dear is exactly why he is a perfect fit...you shall see..." The male retorted back followed by a light coughing and another dark chuckle from him. Meanwhile... It was Friday, the best day of the week. A day where one could relax and not worry about having to go to school the next day. I loved everything about today. "CONNER! GET UP BEFORE YOU'RE LATE!" An older woman's voice yelled breaking the sweet illusion of fake slumber. Well, everything except for that part. "Yeah yeah i'm gettin up now mom Jesus.." I slowly pulled myself up, my brain telling my arms and legs to cooperate but they refused. I shook my head and slapped myself a bit to get a bit more aware so I wouldn’t walk into a wall or dresser like yesterday. God I hate how knees are so sensitive, I swear it’s like god said " Hmm how can I fuck with people without them blaming me...AHA!" thus the funny bones were born...okay okay I know i'm over exaggerating here but cut me some slack I’m tired as hell. After pulling myself out of my bed, I started getting dressed as fast as I could. " I fucking hate these things.." I was of course referring to my oh so annoying school uniform, yeah our schools had uniforms and they were grade A garbage but it was mandatory so I couldn't really argue. I got dressed in a pair of dark grey trousers, my favourite t-shirt(a Pink Floyd dark side of the moon one to be exact but you don't care about that), and a light grey button up shirt. After that I swiftly pulled my black jumper (adorned with the school’s emblem on the heart of the jumper) before putting on my black socks and shoes. Now that I was dressed I grabbed my bag and my black fluffy hoodie. It’s fairly chilly where I live so its like a second skin to me. I soon made my way downstairs where my mother was sitting on the couch fully dressed and ready to go already. I swear she could get ready, eat breakfast and drive to the shop and back before I would be ready this early....actually she probably already did that. "Took you long enough Conner, I swear sometimes I think I need a megaphone just to get you out of that bed of yours.” I was about to respond but was cut off by my sister Katie's laughter in the sitting room, I leaned a bit forward and tilted my head a bit to look into the room to see her watching some sort of cartoon. "What shit is she watchin?" I asked looking back at my mom raising an eyebrow. "Oh, just some weird show called My little pony, she's obsessed with the program after only watching two episodes of it, but it keeps her happy and distracted so I’m alright with it" she replied smiling at the young girl’s laughter. Mom always loved Katie's laugh, it always seemed to give her an energy boost when her ears picked up the high pitch giggles and loud laughter....I for one fucking hated it. "Fuckin stupid looking if you ask me" I said my eyebrow still raised slightly, this didn't get a good reaction from her though. I must admit i might have a bit of a big mouth....might but I'll admit to nothing until i hear from my lawyer. "Well last time i checked I didn't. Now get out to the car before i drag you out by your hair" she threatened jokingly, even though she really could if she wanted to due to my choice of hairstyle. The sides of my head were shaved lightly and the top of my head lead back to a short ponytail at the back-top part of my head or in simple terms a top-knot and did I mention it looks pretty badass to me. I rolled my eyes lightly and pulled the front door open and walked out to my car. I missed our old car. I mean, it had bloody massage seats for god's sake, but sadly mom opted to sell it and get a cheaper car with more seats and space. SO not worth it. I shook my head a bit to get rid of the negative thoughts while I opened the front passenger side and slid in the seat.Soon after I leaned my head back into the seat and smiled a bit to myself thinking about what kind of shit me and the lads are gonna get into today... Meanwhile....again A loud sigh and a book slamming could be heard from outside the large crystal castle, Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, was bored. Yep, you heard me, she was bored out of her mind and was aching to try out some new magic to really test her skills and her knowledge. She had read every book in her castle almost six times over and a seventh time seemed to be her next option until- *knock knock knock* three knocks could be heard from her castle’s front door. Curious as to who it could be she stood up and fluttered her wings slightly before trotting towards the stairs. She would’ve sent spike to check but her boredness seemed to have gotten the better of her. As she reached the doors, she used her magic to create a lavender hue around the handles. Pulling open the doors Twilight looked around seeing nopony. What she did see was a book. It was a green book with a golden harp printed on the cover. "Huh? I don't recognise this book..." looking around to make sure nopony saw her, Twilight quickly grabbed the book and closed the doors behind her levitating the somewhat large book with her magic in front of her. Twilight tilted her head at the cover and rubbed her chin with her front right hoof. " Hmm a harp...I have never heard of a book with a harp on it...emerald green book with a golden harp..very interesting." she smiled as she started trotting up the crystal stairs which caused her hooves to make a loud click as she went. "Good.....the game has started.." a voice seemingly coming from thin air stated eerily watching the new princess as she accepted the bait. Placing the book on the table, Twilight dimmed the lights and turned on a small lantern. Then she opened the first page and tilted her head a bit. "The life of a shamrock." it read. " oooooh " Twilight cooed in excitement for the story ahead " This be a story about a boy like any other, he laughed, he cried and was even an older brother, a normal life he had. Simple and sweet but what happens to him is all but discrete. The rhyming of the prologue reminded her of a certain zebra friend of hers but she continued reading The poor boy's life would be changed forever, no matter how much he tried to make it better. Evil has chosen him as their tool, but his attitude made him seem like a fool. No one else would expect it from him, but Conner will throw this new world into sin... Twilight was now incredibly intrigued by this story, What was a boy? who was he? Who was controlling him? What world will he throw into sin?.....if only she knew. Author's Note first ever story so please criticise me. i need it if i'm gonna get better also i know is suuuuuuuuuuper short but don't worry they will get a hell of a lot longer Thanks - PRIZM P.S sorry about the chapter names, im super confused atm XD An average Friday."Have a good day at school Hun, try to stay happy alright?' I know last Friday wasn't the best but just try, okay?" Mom asked me sadly. Last Friday some kid got a little too big for his boots and tried to start something he couldn't and, me being my short-tempered self, decided I better get physical with him. Needless to say I, in lay-mans terms, kicked his teeth in, but that didn't mean I got off easy. The second Mom heard about it she was gonna riddle me when I got home. Dad on the other hand thought it was quite a funny story, kept calling me 'The Irish Rocky' which in all fairness to got a good laugh out of me but also earned me and him a death glare from Mom. I sighed a bit rubbing the bridge of my nose and laid my head back against the chair’s headrest. I turned to Mom and smiled a bit. "I’ll try to but no promises." I chuckled a bit getting out of the car while closing the door behind me. And with that I was on my way down the path to school. Let's just hope today will be an easy day. Conner’s mother sighed lightly and started the car back up. "I shouldn't be surprised if I get a phone call today." she said out loud as she pulled out of the parking space and started to drive home. She was worried for Conner due to his attitude. He could get a bit too brave when he's older and get into a lot of trouble with the law. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. "No he won't if I have any say in it." She confirmed to herself once more as she drove away. I pushed open the school’s double doors and walked in looking around for a few seconds before walking down the hallway towards the locker area. The main hall was packed already even though it was quite early. I smiled at the sight of a few of my friends sitting at our normal table. I was tempted to sit with them but went against it because I had some important stuff in my locker at the time. "Fuck me I'm wrecked." I sighed rubbing my face lightly with my hands as I approached the locker area, only a few people were there so I didn't have to be super quick about it. I sighed as I closed his locker door and locked it. Placing the key in my back pocket, I pulled my bag onto his shoulders while I readjusted my jacket. "Time to go see the lads" He smiled walking back down the hall seeing them wave at him. "Evening lads" I chuckled sitting beside my best friend Lee. "You look better then you did yesterday Conner, what changed?" A girl sitting across from him asked. Her name was Luna. It was a strange name to those who observed them. But to me? Not at all. In any case she was around five foot four inches tall so she was the smallest of the group, had light brown hair with silver dip dyed ends and blue eyes with a Caucasian complexion so she was quite cute to say the least. "Well for one I shaved off my hedges" I laughed motioning to where my old sideburns would be if I hadn't shaved at all. "Plus it’s the last day of the week, can't be sad about that now can you?" I said making a fair point. "You got me there sham." she said giggling a bit at the nickname everyone called me. The story behind it is a short one. I was allowed get a tattoo due to being 16 and my parents decided to let me get one. The nickname depended on which tattoo he chose. After I chose to get a shamrock on the back of my left shoulder, thus the nickname was born. Before I got the chance to reply the school bell rang both cutting me off and signalling that classes were about to start. I chuckled a bit and stood up nodding to the rest of my friends. Then I started walking down the hall to my first class. Meanwhile… Twilight was buried in the book. After reading the poem her interest became beyond peaked. She continued to read the first chapter. "Car? Wonder what that could be..." she said aloud but quickly shook it off and continued reading. As she finished reading the first Chapter she noticed something strange about the next page. It was incomplete but it was adding writing. "Is this? Yes it is! What kind of book is this?" Twilight said excitedly staring as new lines of text started to appear showing a continuation of the first chapter. Twilight furrowed her brow and flipped to the middle of the book to see if the same thing would happen and to her complete confusion it didn't. "It isn't hidden by magic. Its like its writing a story as it happens. How can that be!?" she said pulling as many ancient magic encyclopedias as she owned and started opening all of them and started speeding through each one trying to find what kind of magic this was but to no avail. Twilight shook her head in utter frustration and groaned before calling her little dragon assistant. "Spike!" she yelled causing the purple and green reptile to sprint into the room. "Twilight! What’s wrong? Did something happen?" he asked still heaving from running so fast. The little dragon had a little side bag which seemed to be brand new. "Take a note to princess Celestia and make sure it is urgent." she exclaimed staring back at the book with suspicion. "No problem" He smiled taking out a quill and a piece of parchment, ready to write. "Dear Princess Celestia, I have come across a new book recently in my library but it’s not like any book I have ever seen. The title of the book is The Story of a Shamrock, and the cover is green with a golden harp embedded into the very front." Twilight paused for a second, thinking of her next words carefully before nodding. "The strange thing about this book in particular is that it seems to be writing itself. I have confirmed that the writing isn't hidden by any magical means. It seems to me that the book is actually writing real time events as they occur, meaning there could be a new civilisation we have never heard about before." Twilight paused again to take in a few breaths before finishing the letter. "I sincerely hope you can help me in my predicament of finding out the origins of this book. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Spike nodded smiling at her before he blew a green flame upon the letter engulfing it as it flew out the window. "So this book is writing itself?" the small dragon asked looking it over slightly before looking back to Twilight. The confused and concerned princess nodded slightly to her small companion "I believe so. Its becoming more and more frustrating the more I think about who made it or how it ended up here at all." Twilight sighed rubbing her head a bit with her left foreleg."I don't know spike, it isn't dangerous but it's concerning to just leave this as is." Twilight slowly trotted over and sat down at the desk and slowly started to read the second chapter. Meanwhile… Well I did tell Mom that I’d try but things happen. The same fuck from before had decided to grab a few of his friends to pick on Luna and I didn't appreciate that one bit. So here I am rolling my sleeves up while four scummy pricks laughed and pointed at Luna for being short. "Alright time to get physical" I growled walking up to the guy that started the whole thing last week and tapped him on the shoulder. The prick barely had time to register what had happened before he was put sitting on his ass with a bloody nose. This caused the other three to turn and glare at me. I slowly backed up keeping my arms up in a defensive position as the three of them advanced on me. "Three against one huh?...great-" I was cut short by one of them taking a swing at me. That ended up hitting me in the arm. While I was blocking that though the others jumped me and tackled me to the ground and started pounding my stomach, blow after blow I hissed in pain trying to escape only to get a hard kick into the side of my chest from the first of the three. This winded me badly causing me to go limp for a second as the two continued to punch my stomach. I then yelled and grabbed one of the two and quickly brought my knee into his jaw causing him to yell in pain and topple off of me. The other one took this chance to use both of his fists on my stomach and the first began to kick harder. This continued for a few more minutes before the vice principal herself showed up. "All of you! Principal's office. NOW!" Perfect. Shit just hit the fan.Fuck. Yeah this just happened again, I'm on the way to the principal’s office for getting into a fight again. I may have an excuse this time but I highly doubt they'll care about that enough to let me off the hook this time. I was absolutely battered this time due to the 'fight' being a three on one situation but then again I did start it. Now I know you're probably thinking that I could have resolved this without having two guys have their faces rearranged and me potentially having my internal organs feel like they were put through a blender set on high but my pride is bigger than my sense of logic and hell, does it get me into some deep shit most of the time but what are you gonna do. The other two cunts that I managed to fuck up were currently with the school nurse while I waited outside for them to be patched up. This for some reason was taking quite a bit of time. Probably because of how pissed I was at the time when I actually hit the pricks. My thoughts about the whole thing got interrupted by the sound of a door opening beside me and the next thing I saw brought me a bit of joy, the two asswipes were shuffling out battered, granted not as bad as me, but I digress. Following them was the school nurse, her name was Skyler but most people called her Sky. Me and her got to know each other a fair bit due to my 'impervious to consequence' attitude which at the end of the day is not the best to have but did I care? Fuck no. "Mr. McGough you're up." Skyler sighed staring at me with a face that just screams "What did you do this time." Skyler was quite young for her job, she was around nineteen when she started working and over the past year we've become good friends, and damn was she gorgeous. Shoulder length red hair that complimented her emerald green eyes which were adorned with some glasses to help her vision, she was a sort of Caucasian complexion with a slight tan and damn her accent was stronger than any Irish whiskey I've heard of in my time on this earth. Last but not least she wasn't by any means skinny or fat, she was right in between. The perfect mix of muscle and fat on her thighs that could crush a man’s skull.... ANYWAY. "Right so boss." I chuckled holding my aching side a bit hoping that would help with the pain at all, it was all in vain but I didn't really care at that point to be honest with you. Skyler held the door open for me and motioned for me to get inside. "Sound’s good" I smiled nodding to her. As I entered her office I was hit by the familiar and annoying smell of a hospital...you know the one. It was the regular setup of a school’s medical facility, white walls, small bed and a table in the middle. A few cupboards for holding medicine and bandages and in the corner sat a large desk with a computer and a leather chair behind it with a small but still noticeable name stand showing Skyler's full name on it, all in all a fairly nicely setup place once you got used to the smell. "Now Conner what seems to be the reason you're walking, no, limping into my office this time if you don't mind me asking?" she said in a matter-of-fact tone. I couldn't really argue with her though, she was the one who was gonna patch me up and I had to give her credit for dealing with my shit the past few weeks. I pulled myself up onto the bed in the middle of the room as she pulled her leather chair over to sit beside me and listen to my little tale of how I got so battered in the first place and I was only obliged to tell her how. "Well you see Skyler, the two cunts that you just patched up were part of a four man posse and their little balls seemed to tell em picking on a girl who was both weaker and smaller than them was a perfect way to show how hard and big their dicks were to the people around at the time and frankly my fists seemed to disagree with em slightly so my brain, being the voice of reason, only agreed to let said fists rearrange their ugly mugs to knock their little balls down a peg. Sadly once I dealt with their little leader the three minions all ganged up on me, in one final attempt to fight back I knee-d the second prick in the jaw and five minutes later the vice principal showed up and thus here we are." I finished leaning back into the soft fabric of the bed and sighed a bit Skyler only smiled a bit moving a piece of hair behind her ear "You’ll never change Conner..." she sighed and started to write down the condition I was in before standing up and walking over to the cupboards to grab some bandages and hopefully painkillers too. After a few minutes she returned with an ice pack, two paracetamol, a glass of water, some bandages, and medical tape. She pulled up my sleeve and started wrapping the large cut I got while trying to block the kicks of one of the four wannabe horse men. After that she handed me the tablets and the water and told me to take them in which I happily obliged. Once I downed the glass and the tablets she handed me the ice pack. "Hold that on your side and it will help the pain subside." She stated sitting back in her chair and began writing down some notes. I jumped off the bed and hissed a bit in pain from doing so but shook it off as fast as it came thanks to the ice pack. "Thanks Skyler, this was definitely one of my worst fights to say the least." She nodded in response and stood up beside me. We were around the same height which was kinda good for me since I was nearly seventeen and was almost taller than a nineteen year old. "This definitely won't be the last one either Conner. I can tell from that attitude of yours it won't be changing anytime soon." she teased opening the door for me. At the same time, she was right but that doesn't mean I’ll let her know she was cause if I did she'd never let me live it down for the rest of my time here. Skyler patted me on the shoulder and closed the door behind me as I exited, I groaned a bit and looked down the hallway towards the main hall in the direction of the principal’s office. "Let's get this over with then shall we." Meanwhile... Twilight covered her mouth with both her hooves as she slowly read the graphic scene of Conner in short getting the living shit kicked out of him. The princess stopped reading for a second and stood up from her chair, placed a purple book mark on the page she was on and quickly closed the book before walking away from it still a bit shocked at how he was treated for trying to do the right thing. "Whoever or whatever this story is about, they seem to have a very dark world..." she said a bit sorrowfully for Conner not even knowing why she was still reading about it. Maybe it was her curiosity or maybe she was just intrigued about where the book itself came from, but whatever the case was she still felt drawn in to continue reading the tale. Twilight's train of thought was interrupted by a knock on her room door l. "Come in." she said loud enough for the person outside to be able to hear her. Once the door opened Twilight smiled as one of her dear friends entered with one of her not so dear friends."Oh hello Fluttershy and good evening to you Discord.." saying the last word with a bit of a sigh. Twilight didn't hate discord, but he was a little annoying at times and now that she was a princess he became even more so. But she couldn't really do much about it. That was who he was. "Hello Twilight" she smiled waving her hoof slightly at her. "Me and discord just wanted to drop in to see how you are doing. We didn't see you at lunch today so we got a little worried about you" The yellow Pegasus smiled and quietly rubbed her left foreleg with her right hoof thinking she was being intrusive. "Well Twilight I for one knew you wouldn't miss lunch for a bad reason sooo" Discord snapped his eagle claws and both Twilight and Fluttershy were sitting on some large logs placed around a small camp fire in the middle of her room. "What's the story?" Discord said in a very strange sounding accent to the two ponies. Twilight glared slightly at the irritating draconequus and stood up. "Discord get this fire out of my library room!" The lavender alicorn growled at Discord who was currently roasting a marshmallow on said fire. Discord rolled his yellow eyes and clicked his fingers making the whole scene evaporate into thin air causing the still sitting Fluttershy to fall onto her plot. Before she landed though, the ground beneath her was replaced with some silk cushions. "You are no fun miss Sparkle, I swear it seems you're already growing a monarch attitude" Discord teased using that same strange accent again as he said it. "Well if you must know I found this strange book that seems to be telling a story about someone, but here's the catch, it's telling it as its happening in real time" Twilight said with an amazed and fascinated tone as her eyes lit up at the same time. This seemed to peak Fluttershy's interest but Discord only threw an eyebrow up at the little discovery. "Who’s the story about Twilight?" Fluttershy asked surprised and interested, her head tilted slightly to the left in a somewhat cute way. She was still sitting on the pile of pillows Discord had summoned for her and had decided to lie on them too. "That's one issue I’m having Fluttershy. I don't know who they are per say but the story says his name is Conner. I’ve never heard of anyone in Equestria named that so I thought maybe he could be a Minotaur. But the story also tells of special devices known as cars and phones although I have no idea what they are." she said exasperated. Discord was slowly stroking his long grey beard in thought, he’s never heard of a book like this or items such as this. All he did know however, was that someone of his old level of evil was the one who created it. "Twilight have you contacted Celestia about this yet?" Discord asked a bit distracted by his thoughts. Twilight turned to him a bit confused but nodded "Yes I sent her a letter today, why do you ask?" Twilight questioned confused, she hasn't seen Discord this out of it before but then again who has? "This book has been created by an extremely high level of evil magic...I don't know by who but I do know that it wasn't made for the use of good. " he finished with a dark tone and his eagle claw and lion paw tightly balled into fists. Before Twilight could respond a near blinding bright flash appeared in the centre of the room before slowly fading away revealing the ivory monarch herself. "Twilight show me this book..." Meanwhile... "I don't ever want see you five in my office again after this! Do I make myself clear!?" All five of us nodded as the principal screamed at us. This bitch was two seconds from getting a hard right across the jaw, if only I could. I stood up first out of the five of us and stomped out of the office only to nearly get knocked off balance by a tactical tackle hug from Luna. Before I could hug back she let go and was smiling at me. " I'm really sorry for what happened today Conner....thank you so much for doing what you did...no one has stood up for me like that before." she said with a hint of sadness in her voice but her smile was still clear and visible. "Ahh those cunts? Pshh. Hardly left a mark on me. I swear if I actually got a hold on em they'd be in the emergency room" I chuckled rubbing my side in pain from her hug. Luna frowned a bit and slowly leaned up and kissed my cheek. This seriously caught me off fucking guard. I could feel my face heating up as she pulled away smiling at me "looks like your mom is waiting for you shamrock. I’ll see you later okay?" All I could dowas nod to her as she walked away presumably towards her next class. I turned and started walking towards Mom who herself had a huge shit eating grin on her face after seeing that little ordeal a second ago. "Not a word." I simply said walking past her which only made her smile more "I left the car by the ice cream shop so we'll get some before we leave mister hero." she laughed walking somewhat ahead of me. I only shook my head as Mom crossed the road as the lights were red. I followed suit smiling to myself. "Life is good" I smiled to myself. Only... *HOOOOONK* "CONNER!!" Mom screamed. The last thing I saw was a truck about a foot away from me and then all I felt was how ironic those last words of mine were, and before you start wondering what happened the Fucking truck hit me. I was sent flying down the road at about fifty miles per hour towards a stone wall. Meanwhile... Celestia's eyes widened and she quickly leaned her hoof down and placed it on the page of the book, soon after her horn started to glow a bright golden hue and a bright light emanated behind them. Her head snapped back to the line about him flying towards the wall. She quickly read "The last thing i saw was a truck about a foot away from me and then all i felt was how ironic those last words of mine were, and before you start wondering what happened the Fucking truck hit me. I was sent flying down the road at about fifty miles per hour towards a stone wall...............only......" She sighed in relief as the words of the book changed and quickly turned towards the light and started walking over to it. Before Celestia knew it a large weight hit her square into the chest knocking her off balance, she toppled to the floor with the weight still on her. it was him. Conner barely opened his eyes and the last thing he was was Celestia staring back at him in shock and concern before collapsing into darkness. Quite the predicament."Excellent...our salvation has arrived my dear..he will be our escape and our chance to rule as we once have." The dark male voice croaked out with a raggedy chuckle following shortly afterwards. "It seems 'Luck' may be with us on this day my friend!" The female voice replied howling with venom in her laughter "Indeed, our 'lucky' stars seemed to have shone upon us!" the male replied with an equally bad pun. Meanwhile... Princess Celestia, Discord, Twilight and Fluttershy were currently speechless, Conner now lay battered and bruised atop the sun goddess's chest unconscious. "P-princess are you alright!?" Twilight asked clearly concerned more on helping her mentor then what had flown through the portal and hit her not two minutes ago. Twilight moved to pull Conner off of the princess only her efforts were quickly halted as Celestia spoke up. "Don't touch him Twilight...he's injured badly so we can't risk moving him in such a way." Celestia responded before very Very slowly starting to use her magic to raise Conner off of her but also keep him in the same position at the same time as not to cause anymore damage than what he has already sustained. Twilight watched and quickly levitated her bed across the room before placing it under Conner's mangled body. Celestia took the hint and slowly lowered the human onto Twilight's bed and let her magic fade away from him, leaving his body to rest on the soft material. "Now. Twilight i would like you to go fetch the head doctor of Ponyville hospital and Fluttershy i would like you and Discord to gather the rest of your friends. I shall remain here in case this-"Celestia paused for a moment "He..awakes and until the doctor arrives i shall tend to his more serious wounds.." The tall monarch finished. Twilight nodded quietly and started to quickly trot towards the stairs closely followed by Discord and Fluttershy. Once the trio was outside Twilight spread her wings and started flying left towards Ponyville hospital while Fluttershy and Discord split up to cover more ground in contacting the other four ponies needed by the princess. Twilight started thinking to herself about this new creature as she flew "How did princess Celestia bring him here by only touching the book?, why did she save him?, what if the rhyme at the start of the book was true.." Twilight quickly shook the thoughts out of her mind before swiftly descending down to the ground in front of Ponyville General Hospital. The lavender princess pushed through the double door entrance and trotted up to the reception. The mare behind the counter lightly bowed her head to Twilight before smiling at her. "Good evening Princess Twilight, how can I help you today?" The mare behind the counter said happily to Twilight who quickly responded. "Princess Celestia has requested Doctor Horse immediately, it's an emergency!" Twilight said with urgency and command in her tone. The mare behind the counter quickly nodded and got up, Twilight could now see her name tag which read out 'Tenderheart' Nurse Tenderheart quickly started sprinting down the long halls of the hospital dodging and weaving through various obstacles such as medicine carts and other nurses and patients, she slowed to a halt outside of a room reading 'Horses office', Tenderheart knocked twice and then opened the door. "Doctor Horse! Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia have requested your presence at once!" The sky blue earth pony breathed heavily as if she just ran a marathon. Doctor Horse stood quickly and trotted over to her placing a hoof on her shoulder. "Slowly now breath..I shall go meet them immediately while you take a breather alright?" he replied smiling lightly before walking past her and started trotting down the hall where he could she Princess Twilight waiting for him. The yellow unicorn quietly nodded to her before following her out of the hospital. "Now might i ask what i am needed for Princess Sparkle?" The doctor inquired. "Princess Celestia has saved a new creature from dying but it is still severely injured, your skills are needed to make sure it makes a full recovery." Princess Twilight finished leading Doctor Horse towards her castle without another word. "Hold on Princess Celestia did what now?!" A tomboyish voice replied loudly in shock and confusion. "Princess Celestia has summoned a strange new animal to Equestria which is now resting in Twilight's castle and she requested that me and Discord come and get you four" Fluttershy replied to the shocked Pegasus "Why the hay is she callin on us to help? we don't even know what this animal is never mind what it's capable of" The southern sounding accent of Applejack responded to Fluttershy in kind "Well darling we have saved Equestria a number of times now and i'm sure one animal couldn't win against the six of us with our friendship magic and Discord and Princess Celestia, so it could be just in case this...thing gets any ideas is all" Rarity responded to Applejack's question before Fluttershy had a chance to. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! This could mean i'm about to make a new friend! OH! I wonder if they like parties! or cake! or balloons! or-" Pinkie's energetically excited rant was cut short by Discord as he simply pulled her mouth clean from her face assuming it would make her quiet down.....only it didn't. Yes despite the fact Pinkie had no mouth strange muffling could still be heard from her mouthless face "Mmph mmn mmph!" she continued making such noises as the six walked together, it was still annoying but it was a bit more bearable now. The five pushed open the front doors of the large crystal castle just as Twilight and Doctor horse arrived behind them. Each group nodded to one another and all started to pile into the castle's main hall, each hoof making a loud clop as each one hit the hard crystal floor. Discord closed the two double doors behind the group as they all started to walk up the large stairway, tension started to set in as each of the ponies and Discord started to hear the sound of a healing spell from the top floor and even a few sounds of groans and sheets being ruffled. Twilight was the first to reach the top of the stairs but didn't hesitate leading Doctor horse over to Conner. "well..here it is Doc.." Twilight quietly stated staring down at the not so mangled anymore body of the being supposedly to bring sin to their world. "He has been like this for about 30 minutes now so it's safe to say he's healed a great deal due to Princess Celestia's kindness and healing magic." Twilight sadly smiled a bit and stepped back to her group of friends who were just standing at the top of the stairs looking in utter shock as an unknown creature is currently laying on Twilight's bed. "What in the name of the creator is that thing twi?!" Applejack said finally breaking the awkward silence. "Indeed darling I must follow up on Applejack's question...what is that dreadful thing?" "Hey, it's not all that bad you know..it's not his fault how he looks and he could be friendly" Fluttershy quietly butted in. "Fluttershy how can you be taking that things side? we have no idea what it is! it could have powers to turn us all inside out! and look at it's teeth, it has sharp teeth at the front!" Twilight shook her head at Rainbow Dash "Rainbow's right Fluttershy those are canines so that means it's a meat eater..this could be dangerous after all..." "I WANNA HUG HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE LOOKS SO LONELY AND COLD AND HURT, CAN I PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE HUG HIM TWILIGHT!!??" Pinkie squealed with joy bouncing up and down at speeds that made even Rainbow Dash blush. While the mane six were having their heated discussion Discord, Celestia and Doc Horse were all gathered around Conner looking over his injuries and also studying him, Discord doing the latter. Discord rubbed his grey beard lightly deep in thought, this was something he has seen happening before but who was the one behind it was the real question, someone with great power but not enough to get him here on their own...so they used the book so that sunbutt would do the work for them. "Very interesting..." The spirit of disharmony mused lightly. Doctor Horse on the other hand was currently wrapping up Conner's deep wounds he had sustained while going through the portal, as if the truck accident wasn't bad enough the portal actually nearly crushed Conner making his injuries even worse. "I must say your highness i doubt he would have survived if not for your healing magic, these wounds are deep yes but they will take no longer than a week to heal up fully...his body will be littered with scars i regret to say and on top of that some of his bones will most likely take about two weeks to heal fully, but other then that he is as healthy as my name" The doctor chuckled starting to pack his things up. "Also I suggest being alone when he awakes, his injuries are too recent for him to have any panic attacks from so many new faces." Doctor Horse finished up before bowing slightly to Princess Celestia. The ivory monarch simple nodded in thanks before he left. "Send the bill to the night court please." Celestia laughed slightly as she'd soon be hearing some very loud complaints from her dear sibling, but now was not the time for that. Celestia looked back down at Conner and started to lean down before placing the tip of her horn onto the centre of his forehead and started to connect to his mind. The first thing she wanted to do was find his most recent memory which turned out to be when he flew into her so she went a little bit farther...and she slightly regretted it (Not like that you weirdo!!!) The first thing she saw of his world was the business end of a very large truck about two feet away from Conner. Princess Celestia turned seeing an older female looking of his kind who was shouting his name from what she could gather.....she must have been his mother. Celestia had seen enough, she quickly left his mind and opened her own eyes looking back down at his unconscious form once more. "You shall not be left in the cold...Conner." As if on reflex Conner's body moved slightly moving to the left turning away from Celestia with a few words leaving his mouth. "Mooom I don't wanna go ta school today..." he groaned going back to his original of facing the princess once more. The sudden strange words got the attention of everyone in the room, especially Fluttershy. " He must be young....he still attends school...oh my...." Fluttershy hid behind her mane sadly looking down at the ground only to be comforted by Discord. "Well be that as it may Fluttershy we will still help him when the time comes..everyone needs friends after all.." Discord smiled looking at the rest of the mane six knowingly.Each one slowly started to look down each feeling equally as bad for the large misfortune of Conner. Twilight slowly started to trot over to Conner's bedside to get a better look at him, he was laying on his stomach with his head turned to his left, one of his forelegs (arms duh) laying beside his head while the other was by his side. The fabric he had on his upper torso was ripped revealing his back a fair bit including his Shamrock tattoo. "That must be his cutie mark.." Twilight guessed looking at his face now. Conner had a light beard coming in from where his sideburns had been cut the day prior, turns out Celestia's healing magic Healed everything meaning cut facial hair meaning he'd have to shave again. Conner had a slight scar across his cheek where a cut used to be, it had formed an old looking scar thanks again to Celestia, his eyes were closed so there was no telling the colour until he was awake, now his hair was strange due to design, the shaved sides of his head were showing signs of growth once more like his sideburns but the top of his head seemed to be unchanging. "Such a strange hairdo..." Rarity interjected seemingly out of nowhere " and those clothes are absolutely dread-destroyed...maybe he'll let me make him new ones!" she finished her eyes lighting up with stars in them now being quite happy about the whole situation. "Seems like a tough one...if he does end up sticking around for a bit maybe he'd be willing to help around the farm a bit. by the time i'm done with him he'll be strong enough to bench Big Mac" Applejack chuckled lightly. "Looks pretty light to me...maybe we can have a few races..I'll get him before AJ dose hehe" Rainbow smiled nudging Applejack lightly into the side. "I wonder if he likes animals..." Fluttershy said quietly smiling. "Or pranks." Discord chuckled getting a look from Celestia that screams "I dare you" "Maybe he likes parties! and cake!! and balloons!!! and confetti!!!! AND-" Twilight poked Pinkie and placed a hoof over her mouth in a 'shhh' motion before pointing back at Conner's sleeping form. " oops! sorry!" she whisper yelled. "That is all well and good, but i suggest you all wait till i calm him down before trying to talk with him, he will be quite shocked to say the least when he wakes up so I'd rather I talk with him alone first...maybe he will understand better if I tell him his situation." Celestia sighs looking back at the man in question. "If things get out of hand I would like you all to be outside the library just in case he tries to escape....I know it's not the best thing to do but he will get hurt here if he gets away." The princess nodded to them all. "Understood Princess Celestia!" The mane six said in usion causing Conner to groan loudly and move a fair bit. "Go!" Princess Celestia whispered causing the seven of them to start piling down the stairs towards the front door of the castle. Once the door closed Celestia backed away from Conner's side and stood slightly away from him just in case he got scared right off the bat. "UGGGGGH Did anyone get the plate of the truck that hit me?" I groaned sitting up in the bed I was put in by the doctors I assumed, fuck it was bloody comfortable gotta get myself one of these mattresses but back to the real task. I tried to open my eyes only for them to sting like hell before I could see what was in front of me. "Ahh bollocks that smarts " I groaned once more before letting my eyes stay closed "Better let em rest up I s'pose" I sighed before sitting up against the headboard of the bed I currently laid in. "Yes that would be for the best...your vision will return soon so no need to worry about it." Celestia said out of the blue causing me ti jump a bit not knowing there was someone in the room with me. "Oh sound...sorry about the noise I shoulda known there was gonna be more than one person per room, unless you're a doctor or nurse that is." I finished looking in the direction of the voice in question. "No need to apologise, you have been through quite a bit today Conner...that was quite an accident you were involved in, you were lucky to survive." Celestia said quieting down at the end. "Aye I guess mom told ye my name already and yeah lucky is the right word for it since the shamrock on my shoulder must be watching over me...I feel great for someone who just met the business end of a four by four but hell who am I to complain about something like this? I survived so that's what matters to me hehe...how's uh..how's mom do you know?" I asked hoping she wasn't that traumatised over the whole thing but what are you gonna do. "Ahh yes...your mother..I'm..I'm afraid you can't see her Conner..." Celestia said her chest starting to clench together but she stayed strong, she had never in all of her years of life, had to do this. "I can't???? w-why not?! did she get hurt?!" I asked frantically trying to stand but the second my feet hit the floor i collapsed onto the ground in pain, my right hand instinctively went to my side holding it to try dampen the pain "Argh fuck me!" Celestia breathed in heavily and slowly exhaled before she walked over to me her hooves making a loud clopping (NO!) noise as she stepped, she sat down on her haunches and used her right foreleg to move my chin to face her. "I'm so sorry Conner....I did what I could to save you..." she said just able to hold her composer. I started to breath in heavily in both fear and pain. "What! what did you do!? tell me!" I yelled through my clenched teeth. "Conner....." Celestia whispered causing me to look up at her or where I assumed she was. "Open your eyes..." A simple request. Now what's the catch. I slowly started to open my eyes, they stung like mad but i held em open long enough to see what was in front of me. A horse. A pure white horse with giant purple eyes, a horn and flowing rainbow looking hair. I was stuck. Was i high off my head and still asleep? was I dead and god was playing a trick on me because of what i said this morning?? was I going bloody fucking mental? I didn't know was I was stuck. Celestia could easily read the shock upon my face and smiled sadly at me and started to caress my cheek with...a wing? yeah a soft ivory wing coming from her back. "When you were in that accident...you would have died a most painful death so I did what I could....I couldn't sit by and watch you become nothing more then red paste on a wall so.....I transported you here....." Celestia finished with another stroke on my cheek. I could only stare at her, I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I didn't, I must be dreaming I thought so I had to find a way to wake myself up. I started to back away from her seeing the reflection of a window in the...crystal floor? jeez I have expensive dreams. Celestia tried to pulled me back but I had none of it and despite the large pain in my side.....I took off running towards the large glass window. "No Conner wait!" Celestia cried out but I had already jumped for it, my shoulder making contact easily smashing the window, but I quickly realised one thing I hadn't before as I was falling from a two story window. I was already in pain. So this wasn't a dream. Author's Note Not my best chapter I know XD I was tired as hell while writing it I need a drink.Author's Note WARNING : Slightly disturbing scene in this chapter. I need a drink. So. I bet you're all on the edge of your seats wanting to know what happened after i jumped from a two story window with a less than happy head on me, well sit yourself down and listen up. I was currently falling from the second floor bedroom window of a seemingly crystal castle and I also just realised this wasn't a dream so you could say I was in a flurry of emotions. Time seemed to slow as I fell face first but one good thing about his whole jump out the second floor window scenario was that some of my luck was still with me, for the first thing I saw instead of the ground was a large cart full of hay.....and for some reason I distinctly heard an eagle screech as I fell before gracefully landing on my face in said pile of hay. My vision was blurred and fuzzy as I pulled my face from the pile and shook my head a bit cleaning off any pieces of hay that could have been stuck to my face and hair, secondly I rubbed my side a bit thankfully not feeling anymore pain in it for some reason. "No time to sit here and be thankful" I groaned slowly standing up before looking back up at the now broken window seeing that white horse looking out at me "Fuck!" I yelped before placing my hand on the side of the cart and jumping out quickly landing on my feet only to see five other multi coloured horses waiting for me. "Oh come on..." I grumbled. "Okay now i'm officially freaking the fuck out..." I said out loud not really caring what the five horses in front of me thought about me. I started to slowly walk to my left not leaving eye contact with the five, before I could run off the white horse from upstairs yelled out the window at the five. "Don't let him escape Twilight!" Princess Celestia yelled out of the window before leaving it to run outside to help. Twilight turned to see Conner's eyes widen before he started to run, her first idea was to use magic on him but....nothing happened. Twilight shook her head before turning to her friends. "Come on girls after him!" Twilight said raising her foreleg and her wings and started to fly after him, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash following suit. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie started to chase him on foot. This was bad. I was in an unknown world being pursued by six multi-coloured horses some with fucking wings that were closing in on me like sharks in bloody water. "Fuuuuuuck this is baaad" I yell to myself as I see a rainbow closing in on me so I did the most logical thing in my mind and hastily spun around, moved to the right and held out my arm to clothesline my skittle resembling pursuer. One problem, I didn't realise how fucking fast she was going and how weak my forearm was. Time slowed as Rainbow Dash flew directly into Conner's right forearm, but due to her excessive speed and sturdiness vs Conner's light skin and bone she almost literally flew through his arm. The impact quickly but painfully snapped Conner's arm out of place. In short his elbow was now on the opposite side. Rainbow Dash flew off course after hitting Conner's arm and flew into the side of Sugar Cube Corner creating a large hole in the side where a window would usually be. Conner on the other hand was on the ground screaming in pain while he was holding his now broken and dislocated arm. "HOLY SHIT! OH MY FUCKING GOD JESUS CHRIST MY FUCKING ARM!!!! HOW FAST WAS SHE FUCKING GOING, MACH TWO?!?!!" I screamed in pain, hey could you really blame me? my arm was now broken and dislocated after a fucking flying horse just hit it like a crashing fighter jet. I started to quiet down after a few minutes of holding my arm and screaming my pain out before i started to -and i know I sound like a bitch here- slowly tear up and cry. I didn't care who saw me. I was in serious pain and I didn't know where I was or how I was gonna go home. I was scared. After a few more seconds of excruciating pain I began to feel a slight warmness around what was left of my arm, it felt as if it were wrapped up in a warm blanket but there was none. I watched incredulously as my arm slowly but surely began to mend itself, a few spine chilling cracks and fleshy noises and my arm was back to the way it was not five minutes ago. "Well fancy that..." I say through my still clenched teeth before i slowly tested my arm out pushing myself up into a sitting position staring face to face with ivory horse once more, the other five had gone to help the blue horse I clotheslined a few minutes before so it was just me and her. "Who are you...." I asked glaring up at her holding my now healed arm. "All your questions shall be answered Conner... but not here." The white one stated matter-o-factly , she stood back to her full height which was about six feet seven inches by the looks of it, being sixteen I was shorter by six inches but I didn't really care about that right now. I stood up fully and turned in the direction of the rainbow one to see all six of them trotting up to the both of us. The majority of the six look furious save the pink and yellow ones, they had a combination of fear and sadness on their faces,for who I couldn't tell, they all seemed ready to let me have a piece of their mind and well I wasn't in the mood for being yelled at so... let's see where this goes. Meanwhile... "This is going faster than I anticipated my dear...he already seems to hate them and they already seem to think the same...well most of them anyway. Nevertheless he will be ours soon enough. The old male voice croaked darkly. The female voice hesitated a bit while looking at Conner through what seemed to be a large mirror. A sigh escaped her lips as she watched him stand and go back to the castle of Twilight Sparkle with Celestia and the other Defenders. "Yes sir...he will be." "Indeed. Now we must prepare for his turn....you know what to do." the male replied not turning to look at her. "Yes...sir." The female replied. Meanwhile... again I was now currently sitting in a chair that was way too small for me, inside the castle I had awoken in, with seven multicoloured horses staring at me like I had six heads. "Okay I'm here now ivory... can you answer my question now as to who the hell you all are?" I grunted standing up out of the small chair opting to lean against the crystal walls instead, less uncomfortable than the chair but i still felt some of it digging into my back but I didn't really care at that point. The white monarch herself stood up as I did and trotted forward a bit and stood a little taller before she spoke. "I am Princess Celestia. I rule over this land known as Equestria, a land filled with ponies. There are three kinds of pony, Earth who are strong and have a connection to the land." she motioned to Pinkie and Applejack "Pegasi are able to walk on clouds and have wings" she motioned to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash whom gave me a bit of a glare which I swiftly returned. "Lastly Unicorns who are able to cast spells and create magic." she motioned to Rarity. This caused me to raise and eyebrow a bit, magic? this bitch can't be serious. "Me and Twilight are a special kind of pony, we are Alicorns. We are a combination of all three pony types. There are currently only five of us in existence." Celestia finished off before relaxing a bit where she stood. "Now might I ask who you are?" Celestia asked seeing the Defenders look back to me with interest. I grunted a bit adjusting my position on the wall before I looked at her, my attitude had changed the second I heard she was a monarch, I hated monarchs, despised them... but right now I had to talk with one. "Evenin name's Conner. I'm from a country known as Ireland on a planet known as earth." I said finishing quickly. "I see..well these-" Celestia turned to the six ponies behind her "Are the Defenders of Equestria. They have saved it numerous times from creatures of evil and destruction." Celestia nodded to them indicating for them to introduce themselves. Twilight stepped forward and smiled a bit nervously. "My name is Twilight sparkle, I am the princess of friendship." she finished before stepping back. Applejack walked forward and took off her ten gallon hat, holding it against her chest. "Howdy, mah name's Applejack." Jesus did she have an accent. As soon as Applejack stepped back Rarity trotted towards me "Good evening darling, my name is Rarity." she said moving her mane? slightly out of the way of her horn. I didn't like how fancy she sounded. Rainbow Dash flew forward and stopped directly in front of my face, her eyes showed anger but she couldn't let it out in front of her little monarch. "I'm Rainbow Dash. Remember that name. I only stared back before responding in kind to her threat "Sure thing skittles." I chuckled seeing her confusion, before she could respond Twilight pulled her back with what seemingly no force of magic. The yellow one trotted out slowly " I-i'm Fluttershy... she whispered. "uh... Come again?" I asked not hearing a single word. "I-i'm Fluttershy.." she whispered even lower this time. "Uhhh... right then" I nodded. "You understood her?" Applejack interrupted. "Not in the slightest." I responded with a shrug. "You'll have to forgive Fluttershy... she can be.. well.... shy" Twilight finished off rubbing the back of her head lightly. "Yeah I can see that" I responded as the three stepped back once they did I swear i was nearly taken off my feet. Something hit me square in the chest at such speed i swear i could have gone through the wall, once I saw what had hit me I was extremely surprised. "HI! my names Pinkie Pie, it's super nice to meet you Conner!" the pick pony currently strapped to my chest like armour squealed so loud I thought my ears were gonna bleed. My ear's pain aside the first thing I did was try and get her off. "Well...it's uh..a pleasure!" I grunted on the last word as i forcefully pulled her off of my chest and was currently holding her in my hands, she was light and strong for her size i'll give her that. I placed Pinkie down and watched her retreat back to her group. Here I was staring at seven ponies on a Friday afternoon. How lucky am I? that's a debatable question at this point. " Now that we all know each other.. I believe I should return to Canterlot to find a way to send you home Conner. I will leave you in the care of my most trusted friends so that your time here isn't unpleasant." Celestia finished with a bow in my direction. I didn't like her... at all. Celestia's horn started to glow and in an instant... poof! she was just gone. Now my mind was officially in the ' what the fuck is happening ' stage of this whole scene and I wasn't to against joining it. "So. what now then" I questioned pushing myself off of the wall and proceeded to walk over to the group. Twilight was the first to speak out,. "well... I think the first thing that should be addressed is accommodation for you Conner then we can figure other things out. Does that sound like a good idea to you?" she asked looking over at me with an eyebrow raised. "Tis' I don't really wanna be sleeping on a bench tonight so that is a good start." I stated rolling my right shoulder a bit in pain from the wall digging into it. Seeing this Fluttershy I believe perked up and started to float over to me " is your arm in pain?" she asked her face showing concern for me and her voice loud enough for me to hear clearly. "Uhh just a little muscle aggravation...nothing severe, thanks." I said a little taken aback by the concern she was showing me all of a sudden when not five minutes ago she couldn't even form a sentence but ehh whatever. Fluttershy nodded lightly at me and smiled a small bit afterwards, she had a strangely contagious smile because not long after I found myself smiling too, did I know why? not a clue. "Darling you should stay with me! " Rarity said ecstatically rushing over " I am the element of generosity of course so it seems only fair that i help you in your time of need, do you not agree?" The one thing I don't agree with is that being your real voice. "I.. don't see why not I suppose." I stated rubbing the back of my head lightly. "Excellent! we'll leave right awa-" Rarity was cut off by Twilight "Actually Rarity I was hoping we could continue with question trading for a bit if you don't mind?" Twilight asked sheepishly. "Oh of course darling that sounds like fun " the walking marshmallow said sitting back down... is that the best I could come up with? Jesus i'm getting rusty at this. "All right...since I was last I guess it's your turn then.." I said sitting on what seemed to be Twilight's bed "okay I have a question then." I heard Rainbow Dash say clearly still not happy with me but I couldn't care less. "Shoot." I said leaning forward having my hand together with my elbows on my knees. "Why the heck did you hit me!!" she yelled lightly. jumping out of her seat with her wings flared out . "Let me answer your question with another, Why were you chasing me?" I asked causing her to snarl a little at me. "I chased you because Princess Celestia told us to-" I cut her off. "Ohhh Princess Celestia told me to I was doing it for Equestria and yadda yadda yadda.." I started with a mock tone and then reverted back to my original voice. This caused her to get really riled up and she was about to fly for me "Quit getting so angry, it was a joke for god's sake." I stated seeing her growl again "and I hit you because I felt threatened and hell it's not like you got its worse off then me in the end, I had my arm both broken And dislocated." I retorted before she could respond. "alright next question." Applejack raised her foreleg "just a quick question, do y'all have farms back on your world?" she asked a bit of curiosity on her face. "Damn right we do, hell we couldn't live without em and I sure as hell couldn't live without milk and potatoes." I stated chuckling a bit, I had a slight cereal addiction back home and well I drank a lot of milk, plus mash potatoes and milk are good as hell for you so I wasn't complaining. once I was done explaining I happened to catch Twilight writing presumably what I said down into a small notepad. "OH OH me next me next! " Pinkie said holding her right foreleg in the air like a student when they needed to go to the bathroom. "Uh yes....Pinkie." I said like a teacher would which felt really bloody weird. "Do you like cake? or parties?! or confetti!! or-" Twilight placed a hoof over Pinkie's mouth and smiled sheepishly again. "Well who doesn't like a bit of cake now and again? as for parties and confetti I guess I like em, but I rarely see em so." I shrugged at the last bit. Pinkie started bouncing up and down and began running around saying things like "I gotta get a cake made right away!" and "The party will be so much fun!!" I chose to ignore her and stand up "oh yeah Twilight, did I have a bag with me when Celestia brought me here? I asked looking at her with hope. Twilight nodded a bit "Oh yes I took the liberty of keeping it safe, she said walking over to a closet and unlocked it, after a few second she pulled out my black and orange Puma bag with was full to the brim , it may have been a school bag but I did not bring books in that thing. I sighed in relief when she offered it to me, the outside having no damage and the inside not sounding like it either. I opened it and looked around inside before nodding and throwing it over my shoulder. "Thanks Twilight...i appreciate it. Either way should I get going now that i'm ready?" I asked looking around. Rarity nodded " Yes darling I agree since it is getting late after all..." Twilight and the others excluding Pinkie nodded with her and started piling down the stairs. Once Pinkie got close enough I caught her by placing my hand on her head "Let's go Pinkie." I grunted letting go of her. "Okie dokie lokie." Pinkie giggled before bouncing ahead of me to meet with her friends. I sighed rubbing my head a bit as I started to follow them, I was putting everything I had on ivory finding a way for me to get home.... if she couldn't- No I don't think about what if's I think about what is. and that fact is I will get home. Keep the confidence high Conner... keep it high. I closed the large double doors to the castle as we all piled out, I placed my hands on my back and stretched slightly before sighing in relief. The six of the ponies were already far ahead of me but I decided to lag behind a bit and walk at my own pace, I had never seen a place like this before, all the houses were old and had a fantasy look and feel to em, the air felt so clean... like no harm had even come to it, the atmosphere was calm and free like I had no strings to hold me back. It felt nice but I shouldn't be enjoying it. I shook my head and was about to try catch up with the group, but something way more important caught my eye. A building with shamrock sign hanging on the front of the roof got my attention, The sign had 'The Four Leaf Clover' written under it, there was music coming from inside and the windows were darkened completely, there were a few barrels around the side which confirmed my conclusion. That was a bar. Now I know i'm only sixteen but my dad and me would always go out at least once every two weeks to got to a bar, I didn't drink actual beer of course, I drank cider. I turned my head back to where the ponies were going and saw Rarity walk up towards what seemed to be a giant roundabout looking building. Well now that I know where to go... I turned back towards the bar and started to walk towards it. "I need a drink."
Let's get started."Hehehe this one will do nicely.....let's see how long he lasts.." An ominous male voice rang out darkly chuckling afterwards, it sounded old yet wise but gruff and serious. "Are you sure this is the one you want to choose?...he seems...very disrespecting of authority..." A female voice replied softly, a slight bit of confusion and surprise in her tone. "That my dear is exactly why he is a perfect fit...you shall see..." The male retorted back followed by a light coughing and another dark chuckle from him. Meanwhile... It was Friday, the best day of the week. A day where one could relax and not worry about having to go to school the next day. I loved everything about today. "CONNER! GET UP BEFORE YOU'RE LATE!" An older woman's voice yelled breaking the sweet illusion of fake slumber. Well, everything except for that part. "Yeah yeah i'm gettin up now mom Jesus.." I slowly pulled myself up, my brain telling my arms and legs to cooperate but they refused. I shook my head and slapped myself a bit to get a bit more aware so I wouldn’t walk into a wall or dresser like yesterday. God I hate how knees are so sensitive, I swear it’s like god said " Hmm how can I fuck with people without them blaming me...AHA!" thus the funny bones were born...okay okay I know i'm over exaggerating here but cut me some slack I’m tired as hell. After pulling myself out of my bed, I started getting dressed as fast as I could. " I fucking hate these things.." I was of course referring to my oh so annoying school uniform, yeah our schools had uniforms and they were grade A garbage but it was mandatory so I couldn't really argue. I got dressed in a pair of dark grey trousers, my favourite t-shirt(a Pink Floyd dark side of the moon one to be exact but you don't care about that), and a light grey button up shirt. After that I swiftly pulled my black jumper (adorned with the school’s emblem on the heart of the jumper) before putting on my black socks and shoes. Now that I was dressed I grabbed my bag and my black fluffy hoodie. It’s fairly chilly where I live so its like a second skin to me. I soon made my way downstairs where my mother was sitting on the couch fully dressed and ready to go already. I swear she could get ready, eat breakfast and drive to the shop and back before I would be ready this early....actually she probably already did that. "Took you long enough Conner, I swear sometimes I think I need a megaphone just to get you out of that bed of yours.” I was about to respond but was cut off by my sister Katie's laughter in the sitting room, I leaned a bit forward and tilted my head a bit to look into the room to see her watching some sort of cartoon. "What shit is she watchin?" I asked looking back at my mom raising an eyebrow. "Oh, just some weird show called My little pony, she's obsessed with the program after only watching two episodes of it, but it keeps her happy and distracted so I’m alright with it" she replied smiling at the young girl’s laughter. Mom always loved Katie's laugh, it always seemed to give her an energy boost when her ears picked up the high pitch giggles and loud laughter....I for one fucking hated it. "Fuckin stupid looking if you ask me" I said my eyebrow still raised slightly, this didn't get a good reaction from her though. I must admit i might have a bit of a big mouth....might but I'll admit to nothing until i hear from my lawyer. "Well last time i checked I didn't. Now get out to the car before i drag you out by your hair" she threatened jokingly, even though she really could if she wanted to due to my choice of hairstyle. The sides of my head were shaved lightly and the top of my head lead back to a short ponytail at the back-top part of my head or in simple terms a top-knot and did I mention it looks pretty badass to me. I rolled my eyes lightly and pulled the front door open and walked out to my car. I missed our old car. I mean, it had bloody massage seats for god's sake, but sadly mom opted to sell it and get a cheaper car with more seats and space. SO not worth it. I shook my head a bit to get rid of the negative thoughts while I opened the front passenger side and slid in the seat.Soon after I leaned my head back into the seat and smiled a bit to myself thinking about what kind of shit me and the lads are gonna get into today... Meanwhile....again A loud sigh and a book slamming could be heard from outside the large crystal castle, Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship, was bored. Yep, you heard me, she was bored out of her mind and was aching to try out some new magic to really test her skills and her knowledge. She had read every book in her castle almost six times over and a seventh time seemed to be her next option until- *knock knock knock* three knocks could be heard from her castle’s front door. Curious as to who it could be she stood up and fluttered her wings slightly before trotting towards the stairs. She would’ve sent spike to check but her boredness seemed to have gotten the better of her. As she reached the doors, she used her magic to create a lavender hue around the handles. Pulling open the doors Twilight looked around seeing nopony. What she did see was a book. It was a green book with a golden harp printed on the cover. "Huh? I don't recognise this book..." looking around to make sure nopony saw her, Twilight quickly grabbed the book and closed the doors behind her levitating the somewhat large book with her magic in front of her. Twilight tilted her head at the cover and rubbed her chin with her front right hoof. " Hmm a harp...I have never heard of a book with a harp on it...emerald green book with a golden harp..very interesting." she smiled as she started trotting up the crystal stairs which caused her hooves to make a loud click as she went. "Good.....the game has started.." a voice seemingly coming from thin air stated eerily watching the new princess as she accepted the bait. Placing the book on the table, Twilight dimmed the lights and turned on a small lantern. Then she opened the first page and tilted her head a bit. "The life of a shamrock." it read. " oooooh " Twilight cooed in excitement for the story ahead " This be a story about a boy like any other, he laughed, he cried and was even an older brother, a normal life he had. Simple and sweet but what happens to him is all but discrete. The rhyming of the prologue reminded her of a certain zebra friend of hers but she continued reading The poor boy's life would be changed forever, no matter how much he tried to make it better. Evil has chosen him as their tool, but his attitude made him seem like a fool. No one else would expect it from him, but Conner will throw this new world into sin... Twilight was now incredibly intrigued by this story, What was a boy? who was he? Who was controlling him? What world will he throw into sin?.....if only she knew. Author's Note first ever story so please criticise me. i need it if i'm gonna get better also i know is suuuuuuuuuuper short but don't worry they will get a hell of a lot longer Thanks - PRIZM P.S sorry about the chapter names, im super confused atm XD
An average Friday."Have a good day at school Hun, try to stay happy alright?' I know last Friday wasn't the best but just try, okay?" Mom asked me sadly. Last Friday some kid got a little too big for his boots and tried to start something he couldn't and, me being my short-tempered self, decided I better get physical with him. Needless to say I, in lay-mans terms, kicked his teeth in, but that didn't mean I got off easy. The second Mom heard about it she was gonna riddle me when I got home. Dad on the other hand thought it was quite a funny story, kept calling me 'The Irish Rocky' which in all fairness to got a good laugh out of me but also earned me and him a death glare from Mom. I sighed a bit rubbing the bridge of my nose and laid my head back against the chair’s headrest. I turned to Mom and smiled a bit. "I’ll try to but no promises." I chuckled a bit getting out of the car while closing the door behind me. And with that I was on my way down the path to school. Let's just hope today will be an easy day. Conner’s mother sighed lightly and started the car back up. "I shouldn't be surprised if I get a phone call today." she said out loud as she pulled out of the parking space and started to drive home. She was worried for Conner due to his attitude. He could get a bit too brave when he's older and get into a lot of trouble with the law. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. "No he won't if I have any say in it." She confirmed to herself once more as she drove away. I pushed open the school’s double doors and walked in looking around for a few seconds before walking down the hallway towards the locker area. The main hall was packed already even though it was quite early. I smiled at the sight of a few of my friends sitting at our normal table. I was tempted to sit with them but went against it because I had some important stuff in my locker at the time. "Fuck me I'm wrecked." I sighed rubbing my face lightly with my hands as I approached the locker area, only a few people were there so I didn't have to be super quick about it. I sighed as I closed his locker door and locked it. Placing the key in my back pocket, I pulled my bag onto his shoulders while I readjusted my jacket. "Time to go see the lads" He smiled walking back down the hall seeing them wave at him. "Evening lads" I chuckled sitting beside my best friend Lee. "You look better then you did yesterday Conner, what changed?" A girl sitting across from him asked. Her name was Luna. It was a strange name to those who observed them. But to me? Not at all. In any case she was around five foot four inches tall so she was the smallest of the group, had light brown hair with silver dip dyed ends and blue eyes with a Caucasian complexion so she was quite cute to say the least. "Well for one I shaved off my hedges" I laughed motioning to where my old sideburns would be if I hadn't shaved at all. "Plus it’s the last day of the week, can't be sad about that now can you?" I said making a fair point. "You got me there sham." she said giggling a bit at the nickname everyone called me. The story behind it is a short one. I was allowed get a tattoo due to being 16 and my parents decided to let me get one. The nickname depended on which tattoo he chose. After I chose to get a shamrock on the back of my left shoulder, thus the nickname was born. Before I got the chance to reply the school bell rang both cutting me off and signalling that classes were about to start. I chuckled a bit and stood up nodding to the rest of my friends. Then I started walking down the hall to my first class. Meanwhile… Twilight was buried in the book. After reading the poem her interest became beyond peaked. She continued to read the first chapter. "Car? Wonder what that could be..." she said aloud but quickly shook it off and continued reading. As she finished reading the first Chapter she noticed something strange about the next page. It was incomplete but it was adding writing. "Is this? Yes it is! What kind of book is this?" Twilight said excitedly staring as new lines of text started to appear showing a continuation of the first chapter. Twilight furrowed her brow and flipped to the middle of the book to see if the same thing would happen and to her complete confusion it didn't. "It isn't hidden by magic. Its like its writing a story as it happens. How can that be!?" she said pulling as many ancient magic encyclopedias as she owned and started opening all of them and started speeding through each one trying to find what kind of magic this was but to no avail. Twilight shook her head in utter frustration and groaned before calling her little dragon assistant. "Spike!" she yelled causing the purple and green reptile to sprint into the room. "Twilight! What’s wrong? Did something happen?" he asked still heaving from running so fast. The little dragon had a little side bag which seemed to be brand new. "Take a note to princess Celestia and make sure it is urgent." she exclaimed staring back at the book with suspicion. "No problem" He smiled taking out a quill and a piece of parchment, ready to write. "Dear Princess Celestia, I have come across a new book recently in my library but it’s not like any book I have ever seen. The title of the book is The Story of a Shamrock, and the cover is green with a golden harp embedded into the very front." Twilight paused for a second, thinking of her next words carefully before nodding. "The strange thing about this book in particular is that it seems to be writing itself. I have confirmed that the writing isn't hidden by any magical means. It seems to me that the book is actually writing real time events as they occur, meaning there could be a new civilisation we have never heard about before." Twilight paused again to take in a few breaths before finishing the letter. "I sincerely hope you can help me in my predicament of finding out the origins of this book. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle." Spike nodded smiling at her before he blew a green flame upon the letter engulfing it as it flew out the window. "So this book is writing itself?" the small dragon asked looking it over slightly before looking back to Twilight. The confused and concerned princess nodded slightly to her small companion "I believe so. Its becoming more and more frustrating the more I think about who made it or how it ended up here at all." Twilight sighed rubbing her head a bit with her left foreleg."I don't know spike, it isn't dangerous but it's concerning to just leave this as is." Twilight slowly trotted over and sat down at the desk and slowly started to read the second chapter. Meanwhile… Well I did tell Mom that I’d try but things happen. The same fuck from before had decided to grab a few of his friends to pick on Luna and I didn't appreciate that one bit. So here I am rolling my sleeves up while four scummy pricks laughed and pointed at Luna for being short. "Alright time to get physical" I growled walking up to the guy that started the whole thing last week and tapped him on the shoulder. The prick barely had time to register what had happened before he was put sitting on his ass with a bloody nose. This caused the other three to turn and glare at me. I slowly backed up keeping my arms up in a defensive position as the three of them advanced on me. "Three against one huh?...great-" I was cut short by one of them taking a swing at me. That ended up hitting me in the arm. While I was blocking that though the others jumped me and tackled me to the ground and started pounding my stomach, blow after blow I hissed in pain trying to escape only to get a hard kick into the side of my chest from the first of the three. This winded me badly causing me to go limp for a second as the two continued to punch my stomach. I then yelled and grabbed one of the two and quickly brought my knee into his jaw causing him to yell in pain and topple off of me. The other one took this chance to use both of his fists on my stomach and the first began to kick harder. This continued for a few more minutes before the vice principal herself showed up. "All of you! Principal's office. NOW!" Perfect.
Shit just hit the fan.Fuck. Yeah this just happened again, I'm on the way to the principal’s office for getting into a fight again. I may have an excuse this time but I highly doubt they'll care about that enough to let me off the hook this time. I was absolutely battered this time due to the 'fight' being a three on one situation but then again I did start it. Now I know you're probably thinking that I could have resolved this without having two guys have their faces rearranged and me potentially having my internal organs feel like they were put through a blender set on high but my pride is bigger than my sense of logic and hell, does it get me into some deep shit most of the time but what are you gonna do. The other two cunts that I managed to fuck up were currently with the school nurse while I waited outside for them to be patched up. This for some reason was taking quite a bit of time. Probably because of how pissed I was at the time when I actually hit the pricks. My thoughts about the whole thing got interrupted by the sound of a door opening beside me and the next thing I saw brought me a bit of joy, the two asswipes were shuffling out battered, granted not as bad as me, but I digress. Following them was the school nurse, her name was Skyler but most people called her Sky. Me and her got to know each other a fair bit due to my 'impervious to consequence' attitude which at the end of the day is not the best to have but did I care? Fuck no. "Mr. McGough you're up." Skyler sighed staring at me with a face that just screams "What did you do this time." Skyler was quite young for her job, she was around nineteen when she started working and over the past year we've become good friends, and damn was she gorgeous. Shoulder length red hair that complimented her emerald green eyes which were adorned with some glasses to help her vision, she was a sort of Caucasian complexion with a slight tan and damn her accent was stronger than any Irish whiskey I've heard of in my time on this earth. Last but not least she wasn't by any means skinny or fat, she was right in between. The perfect mix of muscle and fat on her thighs that could crush a man’s skull.... ANYWAY. "Right so boss." I chuckled holding my aching side a bit hoping that would help with the pain at all, it was all in vain but I didn't really care at that point to be honest with you. Skyler held the door open for me and motioned for me to get inside. "Sound’s good" I smiled nodding to her. As I entered her office I was hit by the familiar and annoying smell of a hospital...you know the one. It was the regular setup of a school’s medical facility, white walls, small bed and a table in the middle. A few cupboards for holding medicine and bandages and in the corner sat a large desk with a computer and a leather chair behind it with a small but still noticeable name stand showing Skyler's full name on it, all in all a fairly nicely setup place once you got used to the smell. "Now Conner what seems to be the reason you're walking, no, limping into my office this time if you don't mind me asking?" she said in a matter-of-fact tone. I couldn't really argue with her though, she was the one who was gonna patch me up and I had to give her credit for dealing with my shit the past few weeks. I pulled myself up onto the bed in the middle of the room as she pulled her leather chair over to sit beside me and listen to my little tale of how I got so battered in the first place and I was only obliged to tell her how. "Well you see Skyler, the two cunts that you just patched up were part of a four man posse and their little balls seemed to tell em picking on a girl who was both weaker and smaller than them was a perfect way to show how hard and big their dicks were to the people around at the time and frankly my fists seemed to disagree with em slightly so my brain, being the voice of reason, only agreed to let said fists rearrange their ugly mugs to knock their little balls down a peg. Sadly once I dealt with their little leader the three minions all ganged up on me, in one final attempt to fight back I knee-d the second prick in the jaw and five minutes later the vice principal showed up and thus here we are." I finished leaning back into the soft fabric of the bed and sighed a bit Skyler only smiled a bit moving a piece of hair behind her ear "You’ll never change Conner..." she sighed and started to write down the condition I was in before standing up and walking over to the cupboards to grab some bandages and hopefully painkillers too. After a few minutes she returned with an ice pack, two paracetamol, a glass of water, some bandages, and medical tape. She pulled up my sleeve and started wrapping the large cut I got while trying to block the kicks of one of the four wannabe horse men. After that she handed me the tablets and the water and told me to take them in which I happily obliged. Once I downed the glass and the tablets she handed me the ice pack. "Hold that on your side and it will help the pain subside." She stated sitting back in her chair and began writing down some notes. I jumped off the bed and hissed a bit in pain from doing so but shook it off as fast as it came thanks to the ice pack. "Thanks Skyler, this was definitely one of my worst fights to say the least." She nodded in response and stood up beside me. We were around the same height which was kinda good for me since I was nearly seventeen and was almost taller than a nineteen year old. "This definitely won't be the last one either Conner. I can tell from that attitude of yours it won't be changing anytime soon." she teased opening the door for me. At the same time, she was right but that doesn't mean I’ll let her know she was cause if I did she'd never let me live it down for the rest of my time here. Skyler patted me on the shoulder and closed the door behind me as I exited, I groaned a bit and looked down the hallway towards the main hall in the direction of the principal’s office. "Let's get this over with then shall we." Meanwhile... Twilight covered her mouth with both her hooves as she slowly read the graphic scene of Conner in short getting the living shit kicked out of him. The princess stopped reading for a second and stood up from her chair, placed a purple book mark on the page she was on and quickly closed the book before walking away from it still a bit shocked at how he was treated for trying to do the right thing. "Whoever or whatever this story is about, they seem to have a very dark world..." she said a bit sorrowfully for Conner not even knowing why she was still reading about it. Maybe it was her curiosity or maybe she was just intrigued about where the book itself came from, but whatever the case was she still felt drawn in to continue reading the tale. Twilight's train of thought was interrupted by a knock on her room door l. "Come in." she said loud enough for the person outside to be able to hear her. Once the door opened Twilight smiled as one of her dear friends entered with one of her not so dear friends."Oh hello Fluttershy and good evening to you Discord.." saying the last word with a bit of a sigh. Twilight didn't hate discord, but he was a little annoying at times and now that she was a princess he became even more so. But she couldn't really do much about it. That was who he was. "Hello Twilight" she smiled waving her hoof slightly at her. "Me and discord just wanted to drop in to see how you are doing. We didn't see you at lunch today so we got a little worried about you" The yellow Pegasus smiled and quietly rubbed her left foreleg with her right hoof thinking she was being intrusive. "Well Twilight I for one knew you wouldn't miss lunch for a bad reason sooo" Discord snapped his eagle claws and both Twilight and Fluttershy were sitting on some large logs placed around a small camp fire in the middle of her room. "What's the story?" Discord said in a very strange sounding accent to the two ponies. Twilight glared slightly at the irritating draconequus and stood up. "Discord get this fire out of my library room!" The lavender alicorn growled at Discord who was currently roasting a marshmallow on said fire. Discord rolled his yellow eyes and clicked his fingers making the whole scene evaporate into thin air causing the still sitting Fluttershy to fall onto her plot. Before she landed though, the ground beneath her was replaced with some silk cushions. "You are no fun miss Sparkle, I swear it seems you're already growing a monarch attitude" Discord teased using that same strange accent again as he said it. "Well if you must know I found this strange book that seems to be telling a story about someone, but here's the catch, it's telling it as its happening in real time" Twilight said with an amazed and fascinated tone as her eyes lit up at the same time. This seemed to peak Fluttershy's interest but Discord only threw an eyebrow up at the little discovery. "Who’s the story about Twilight?" Fluttershy asked surprised and interested, her head tilted slightly to the left in a somewhat cute way. She was still sitting on the pile of pillows Discord had summoned for her and had decided to lie on them too. "That's one issue I’m having Fluttershy. I don't know who they are per say but the story says his name is Conner. I’ve never heard of anyone in Equestria named that so I thought maybe he could be a Minotaur. But the story also tells of special devices known as cars and phones although I have no idea what they are." she said exasperated. Discord was slowly stroking his long grey beard in thought, he’s never heard of a book like this or items such as this. All he did know however, was that someone of his old level of evil was the one who created it. "Twilight have you contacted Celestia about this yet?" Discord asked a bit distracted by his thoughts. Twilight turned to him a bit confused but nodded "Yes I sent her a letter today, why do you ask?" Twilight questioned confused, she hasn't seen Discord this out of it before but then again who has? "This book has been created by an extremely high level of evil magic...I don't know by who but I do know that it wasn't made for the use of good. " he finished with a dark tone and his eagle claw and lion paw tightly balled into fists. Before Twilight could respond a near blinding bright flash appeared in the centre of the room before slowly fading away revealing the ivory monarch herself. "Twilight show me this book..." Meanwhile... "I don't ever want see you five in my office again after this! Do I make myself clear!?" All five of us nodded as the principal screamed at us. This bitch was two seconds from getting a hard right across the jaw, if only I could. I stood up first out of the five of us and stomped out of the office only to nearly get knocked off balance by a tactical tackle hug from Luna. Before I could hug back she let go and was smiling at me. " I'm really sorry for what happened today Conner....thank you so much for doing what you did...no one has stood up for me like that before." she said with a hint of sadness in her voice but her smile was still clear and visible. "Ahh those cunts? Pshh. Hardly left a mark on me. I swear if I actually got a hold on em they'd be in the emergency room" I chuckled rubbing my side in pain from her hug. Luna frowned a bit and slowly leaned up and kissed my cheek. This seriously caught me off fucking guard. I could feel my face heating up as she pulled away smiling at me "looks like your mom is waiting for you shamrock. I’ll see you later okay?" All I could dowas nod to her as she walked away presumably towards her next class. I turned and started walking towards Mom who herself had a huge shit eating grin on her face after seeing that little ordeal a second ago. "Not a word." I simply said walking past her which only made her smile more "I left the car by the ice cream shop so we'll get some before we leave mister hero." she laughed walking somewhat ahead of me. I only shook my head as Mom crossed the road as the lights were red. I followed suit smiling to myself. "Life is good" I smiled to myself. Only... *HOOOOONK* "CONNER!!" Mom screamed. The last thing I saw was a truck about a foot away from me and then all I felt was how ironic those last words of mine were, and before you start wondering what happened the Fucking truck hit me. I was sent flying down the road at about fifty miles per hour towards a stone wall. Meanwhile... Celestia's eyes widened and she quickly leaned her hoof down and placed it on the page of the book, soon after her horn started to glow a bright golden hue and a bright light emanated behind them. Her head snapped back to the line about him flying towards the wall. She quickly read "The last thing i saw was a truck about a foot away from me and then all i felt was how ironic those last words of mine were, and before you start wondering what happened the Fucking truck hit me. I was sent flying down the road at about fifty miles per hour towards a stone wall...............only......" She sighed in relief as the words of the book changed and quickly turned towards the light and started walking over to it. Before Celestia knew it a large weight hit her square into the chest knocking her off balance, she toppled to the floor with the weight still on her. it was him. Conner barely opened his eyes and the last thing he was was Celestia staring back at him in shock and concern before collapsing into darkness.
Quite the predicament."Excellent...our salvation has arrived my dear..he will be our escape and our chance to rule as we once have." The dark male voice croaked out with a raggedy chuckle following shortly afterwards. "It seems 'Luck' may be with us on this day my friend!" The female voice replied howling with venom in her laughter "Indeed, our 'lucky' stars seemed to have shone upon us!" the male replied with an equally bad pun. Meanwhile... Princess Celestia, Discord, Twilight and Fluttershy were currently speechless, Conner now lay battered and bruised atop the sun goddess's chest unconscious. "P-princess are you alright!?" Twilight asked clearly concerned more on helping her mentor then what had flown through the portal and hit her not two minutes ago. Twilight moved to pull Conner off of the princess only her efforts were quickly halted as Celestia spoke up. "Don't touch him Twilight...he's injured badly so we can't risk moving him in such a way." Celestia responded before very Very slowly starting to use her magic to raise Conner off of her but also keep him in the same position at the same time as not to cause anymore damage than what he has already sustained. Twilight watched and quickly levitated her bed across the room before placing it under Conner's mangled body. Celestia took the hint and slowly lowered the human onto Twilight's bed and let her magic fade away from him, leaving his body to rest on the soft material. "Now. Twilight i would like you to go fetch the head doctor of Ponyville hospital and Fluttershy i would like you and Discord to gather the rest of your friends. I shall remain here in case this-"Celestia paused for a moment "He..awakes and until the doctor arrives i shall tend to his more serious wounds.." The tall monarch finished. Twilight nodded quietly and started to quickly trot towards the stairs closely followed by Discord and Fluttershy. Once the trio was outside Twilight spread her wings and started flying left towards Ponyville hospital while Fluttershy and Discord split up to cover more ground in contacting the other four ponies needed by the princess. Twilight started thinking to herself about this new creature as she flew "How did princess Celestia bring him here by only touching the book?, why did she save him?, what if the rhyme at the start of the book was true.." Twilight quickly shook the thoughts out of her mind before swiftly descending down to the ground in front of Ponyville General Hospital. The lavender princess pushed through the double door entrance and trotted up to the reception. The mare behind the counter lightly bowed her head to Twilight before smiling at her. "Good evening Princess Twilight, how can I help you today?" The mare behind the counter said happily to Twilight who quickly responded. "Princess Celestia has requested Doctor Horse immediately, it's an emergency!" Twilight said with urgency and command in her tone. The mare behind the counter quickly nodded and got up, Twilight could now see her name tag which read out 'Tenderheart' Nurse Tenderheart quickly started sprinting down the long halls of the hospital dodging and weaving through various obstacles such as medicine carts and other nurses and patients, she slowed to a halt outside of a room reading 'Horses office', Tenderheart knocked twice and then opened the door. "Doctor Horse! Princess Twilight and Princess Celestia have requested your presence at once!" The sky blue earth pony breathed heavily as if she just ran a marathon. Doctor Horse stood quickly and trotted over to her placing a hoof on her shoulder. "Slowly now breath..I shall go meet them immediately while you take a breather alright?" he replied smiling lightly before walking past her and started trotting down the hall where he could she Princess Twilight waiting for him. The yellow unicorn quietly nodded to her before following her out of the hospital. "Now might i ask what i am needed for Princess Sparkle?" The doctor inquired. "Princess Celestia has saved a new creature from dying but it is still severely injured, your skills are needed to make sure it makes a full recovery." Princess Twilight finished leading Doctor Horse towards her castle without another word. "Hold on Princess Celestia did what now?!" A tomboyish voice replied loudly in shock and confusion. "Princess Celestia has summoned a strange new animal to Equestria which is now resting in Twilight's castle and she requested that me and Discord come and get you four" Fluttershy replied to the shocked Pegasus "Why the hay is she callin on us to help? we don't even know what this animal is never mind what it's capable of" The southern sounding accent of Applejack responded to Fluttershy in kind "Well darling we have saved Equestria a number of times now and i'm sure one animal couldn't win against the six of us with our friendship magic and Discord and Princess Celestia, so it could be just in case this...thing gets any ideas is all" Rarity responded to Applejack's question before Fluttershy had a chance to. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! This could mean i'm about to make a new friend! OH! I wonder if they like parties! or cake! or balloons! or-" Pinkie's energetically excited rant was cut short by Discord as he simply pulled her mouth clean from her face assuming it would make her quiet down.....only it didn't. Yes despite the fact Pinkie had no mouth strange muffling could still be heard from her mouthless face "Mmph mmn mmph!" she continued making such noises as the six walked together, it was still annoying but it was a bit more bearable now. The five pushed open the front doors of the large crystal castle just as Twilight and Doctor horse arrived behind them. Each group nodded to one another and all started to pile into the castle's main hall, each hoof making a loud clop as each one hit the hard crystal floor. Discord closed the two double doors behind the group as they all started to walk up the large stairway, tension started to set in as each of the ponies and Discord started to hear the sound of a healing spell from the top floor and even a few sounds of groans and sheets being ruffled. Twilight was the first to reach the top of the stairs but didn't hesitate leading Doctor horse over to Conner. "well..here it is Doc.." Twilight quietly stated staring down at the not so mangled anymore body of the being supposedly to bring sin to their world. "He has been like this for about 30 minutes now so it's safe to say he's healed a great deal due to Princess Celestia's kindness and healing magic." Twilight sadly smiled a bit and stepped back to her group of friends who were just standing at the top of the stairs looking in utter shock as an unknown creature is currently laying on Twilight's bed. "What in the name of the creator is that thing twi?!" Applejack said finally breaking the awkward silence. "Indeed darling I must follow up on Applejack's question...what is that dreadful thing?" "Hey, it's not all that bad you know..it's not his fault how he looks and he could be friendly" Fluttershy quietly butted in. "Fluttershy how can you be taking that things side? we have no idea what it is! it could have powers to turn us all inside out! and look at it's teeth, it has sharp teeth at the front!" Twilight shook her head at Rainbow Dash "Rainbow's right Fluttershy those are canines so that means it's a meat eater..this could be dangerous after all..." "I WANNA HUG HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE LOOKS SO LONELY AND COLD AND HURT, CAN I PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE HUG HIM TWILIGHT!!??" Pinkie squealed with joy bouncing up and down at speeds that made even Rainbow Dash blush. While the mane six were having their heated discussion Discord, Celestia and Doc Horse were all gathered around Conner looking over his injuries and also studying him, Discord doing the latter. Discord rubbed his grey beard lightly deep in thought, this was something he has seen happening before but who was the one behind it was the real question, someone with great power but not enough to get him here on their own...so they used the book so that sunbutt would do the work for them. "Very interesting..." The spirit of disharmony mused lightly. Doctor Horse on the other hand was currently wrapping up Conner's deep wounds he had sustained while going through the portal, as if the truck accident wasn't bad enough the portal actually nearly crushed Conner making his injuries even worse. "I must say your highness i doubt he would have survived if not for your healing magic, these wounds are deep yes but they will take no longer than a week to heal up fully...his body will be littered with scars i regret to say and on top of that some of his bones will most likely take about two weeks to heal fully, but other then that he is as healthy as my name" The doctor chuckled starting to pack his things up. "Also I suggest being alone when he awakes, his injuries are too recent for him to have any panic attacks from so many new faces." Doctor Horse finished up before bowing slightly to Princess Celestia. The ivory monarch simple nodded in thanks before he left. "Send the bill to the night court please." Celestia laughed slightly as she'd soon be hearing some very loud complaints from her dear sibling, but now was not the time for that. Celestia looked back down at Conner and started to lean down before placing the tip of her horn onto the centre of his forehead and started to connect to his mind. The first thing she wanted to do was find his most recent memory which turned out to be when he flew into her so she went a little bit farther...and she slightly regretted it (Not like that you weirdo!!!) The first thing she saw of his world was the business end of a very large truck about two feet away from Conner. Princess Celestia turned seeing an older female looking of his kind who was shouting his name from what she could gather.....she must have been his mother. Celestia had seen enough, she quickly left his mind and opened her own eyes looking back down at his unconscious form once more. "You shall not be left in the cold...Conner." As if on reflex Conner's body moved slightly moving to the left turning away from Celestia with a few words leaving his mouth. "Mooom I don't wanna go ta school today..." he groaned going back to his original of facing the princess once more. The sudden strange words got the attention of everyone in the room, especially Fluttershy. " He must be young....he still attends school...oh my...." Fluttershy hid behind her mane sadly looking down at the ground only to be comforted by Discord. "Well be that as it may Fluttershy we will still help him when the time comes..everyone needs friends after all.." Discord smiled looking at the rest of the mane six knowingly.Each one slowly started to look down each feeling equally as bad for the large misfortune of Conner. Twilight slowly started to trot over to Conner's bedside to get a better look at him, he was laying on his stomach with his head turned to his left, one of his forelegs (arms duh) laying beside his head while the other was by his side. The fabric he had on his upper torso was ripped revealing his back a fair bit including his Shamrock tattoo. "That must be his cutie mark.." Twilight guessed looking at his face now. Conner had a light beard coming in from where his sideburns had been cut the day prior, turns out Celestia's healing magic Healed everything meaning cut facial hair meaning he'd have to shave again. Conner had a slight scar across his cheek where a cut used to be, it had formed an old looking scar thanks again to Celestia, his eyes were closed so there was no telling the colour until he was awake, now his hair was strange due to design, the shaved sides of his head were showing signs of growth once more like his sideburns but the top of his head seemed to be unchanging. "Such a strange hairdo..." Rarity interjected seemingly out of nowhere " and those clothes are absolutely dread-destroyed...maybe he'll let me make him new ones!" she finished her eyes lighting up with stars in them now being quite happy about the whole situation. "Seems like a tough one...if he does end up sticking around for a bit maybe he'd be willing to help around the farm a bit. by the time i'm done with him he'll be strong enough to bench Big Mac" Applejack chuckled lightly. "Looks pretty light to me...maybe we can have a few races..I'll get him before AJ dose hehe" Rainbow smiled nudging Applejack lightly into the side. "I wonder if he likes animals..." Fluttershy said quietly smiling. "Or pranks." Discord chuckled getting a look from Celestia that screams "I dare you" "Maybe he likes parties! and cake!! and balloons!!! and confetti!!!! AND-" Twilight poked Pinkie and placed a hoof over her mouth in a 'shhh' motion before pointing back at Conner's sleeping form. " oops! sorry!" she whisper yelled. "That is all well and good, but i suggest you all wait till i calm him down before trying to talk with him, he will be quite shocked to say the least when he wakes up so I'd rather I talk with him alone first...maybe he will understand better if I tell him his situation." Celestia sighs looking back at the man in question. "If things get out of hand I would like you all to be outside the library just in case he tries to escape....I know it's not the best thing to do but he will get hurt here if he gets away." The princess nodded to them all. "Understood Princess Celestia!" The mane six said in usion causing Conner to groan loudly and move a fair bit. "Go!" Princess Celestia whispered causing the seven of them to start piling down the stairs towards the front door of the castle. Once the door closed Celestia backed away from Conner's side and stood slightly away from him just in case he got scared right off the bat. "UGGGGGH Did anyone get the plate of the truck that hit me?" I groaned sitting up in the bed I was put in by the doctors I assumed, fuck it was bloody comfortable gotta get myself one of these mattresses but back to the real task. I tried to open my eyes only for them to sting like hell before I could see what was in front of me. "Ahh bollocks that smarts " I groaned once more before letting my eyes stay closed "Better let em rest up I s'pose" I sighed before sitting up against the headboard of the bed I currently laid in. "Yes that would be for the best...your vision will return soon so no need to worry about it." Celestia said out of the blue causing me ti jump a bit not knowing there was someone in the room with me. "Oh sound...sorry about the noise I shoulda known there was gonna be more than one person per room, unless you're a doctor or nurse that is." I finished looking in the direction of the voice in question. "No need to apologise, you have been through quite a bit today Conner...that was quite an accident you were involved in, you were lucky to survive." Celestia said quieting down at the end. "Aye I guess mom told ye my name already and yeah lucky is the right word for it since the shamrock on my shoulder must be watching over me...I feel great for someone who just met the business end of a four by four but hell who am I to complain about something like this? I survived so that's what matters to me hehe...how's uh..how's mom do you know?" I asked hoping she wasn't that traumatised over the whole thing but what are you gonna do. "Ahh yes...your mother..I'm..I'm afraid you can't see her Conner..." Celestia said her chest starting to clench together but she stayed strong, she had never in all of her years of life, had to do this. "I can't???? w-why not?! did she get hurt?!" I asked frantically trying to stand but the second my feet hit the floor i collapsed onto the ground in pain, my right hand instinctively went to my side holding it to try dampen the pain "Argh fuck me!" Celestia breathed in heavily and slowly exhaled before she walked over to me her hooves making a loud clopping (NO!) noise as she stepped, she sat down on her haunches and used her right foreleg to move my chin to face her. "I'm so sorry Conner....I did what I could to save you..." she said just able to hold her composer. I started to breath in heavily in both fear and pain. "What! what did you do!? tell me!" I yelled through my clenched teeth. "Conner....." Celestia whispered causing me to look up at her or where I assumed she was. "Open your eyes..." A simple request. Now what's the catch. I slowly started to open my eyes, they stung like mad but i held em open long enough to see what was in front of me. A horse. A pure white horse with giant purple eyes, a horn and flowing rainbow looking hair. I was stuck. Was i high off my head and still asleep? was I dead and god was playing a trick on me because of what i said this morning?? was I going bloody fucking mental? I didn't know was I was stuck. Celestia could easily read the shock upon my face and smiled sadly at me and started to caress my cheek with...a wing? yeah a soft ivory wing coming from her back. "When you were in that accident...you would have died a most painful death so I did what I could....I couldn't sit by and watch you become nothing more then red paste on a wall so.....I transported you here....." Celestia finished with another stroke on my cheek. I could only stare at her, I couldn't believe what I was hearing and I didn't, I must be dreaming I thought so I had to find a way to wake myself up. I started to back away from her seeing the reflection of a window in the...crystal floor? jeez I have expensive dreams. Celestia tried to pulled me back but I had none of it and despite the large pain in my side.....I took off running towards the large glass window. "No Conner wait!" Celestia cried out but I had already jumped for it, my shoulder making contact easily smashing the window, but I quickly realised one thing I hadn't before as I was falling from a two story window. I was already in pain. So this wasn't a dream. Author's Note Not my best chapter I know XD I was tired as hell while writing it
I need a drink.Author's Note WARNING : Slightly disturbing scene in this chapter. I need a drink. So. I bet you're all on the edge of your seats wanting to know what happened after i jumped from a two story window with a less than happy head on me, well sit yourself down and listen up. I was currently falling from the second floor bedroom window of a seemingly crystal castle and I also just realised this wasn't a dream so you could say I was in a flurry of emotions. Time seemed to slow as I fell face first but one good thing about his whole jump out the second floor window scenario was that some of my luck was still with me, for the first thing I saw instead of the ground was a large cart full of hay.....and for some reason I distinctly heard an eagle screech as I fell before gracefully landing on my face in said pile of hay. My vision was blurred and fuzzy as I pulled my face from the pile and shook my head a bit cleaning off any pieces of hay that could have been stuck to my face and hair, secondly I rubbed my side a bit thankfully not feeling anymore pain in it for some reason. "No time to sit here and be thankful" I groaned slowly standing up before looking back up at the now broken window seeing that white horse looking out at me "Fuck!" I yelped before placing my hand on the side of the cart and jumping out quickly landing on my feet only to see five other multi coloured horses waiting for me. "Oh come on..." I grumbled. "Okay now i'm officially freaking the fuck out..." I said out loud not really caring what the five horses in front of me thought about me. I started to slowly walk to my left not leaving eye contact with the five, before I could run off the white horse from upstairs yelled out the window at the five. "Don't let him escape Twilight!" Princess Celestia yelled out of the window before leaving it to run outside to help. Twilight turned to see Conner's eyes widen before he started to run, her first idea was to use magic on him but....nothing happened. Twilight shook her head before turning to her friends. "Come on girls after him!" Twilight said raising her foreleg and her wings and started to fly after him, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash following suit. Applejack, Rarity and Pinkie Pie started to chase him on foot. This was bad. I was in an unknown world being pursued by six multi-coloured horses some with fucking wings that were closing in on me like sharks in bloody water. "Fuuuuuuck this is baaad" I yell to myself as I see a rainbow closing in on me so I did the most logical thing in my mind and hastily spun around, moved to the right and held out my arm to clothesline my skittle resembling pursuer. One problem, I didn't realise how fucking fast she was going and how weak my forearm was. Time slowed as Rainbow Dash flew directly into Conner's right forearm, but due to her excessive speed and sturdiness vs Conner's light skin and bone she almost literally flew through his arm. The impact quickly but painfully snapped Conner's arm out of place. In short his elbow was now on the opposite side. Rainbow Dash flew off course after hitting Conner's arm and flew into the side of Sugar Cube Corner creating a large hole in the side where a window would usually be. Conner on the other hand was on the ground screaming in pain while he was holding his now broken and dislocated arm. "HOLY SHIT! OH MY FUCKING GOD JESUS CHRIST MY FUCKING ARM!!!! HOW FAST WAS SHE FUCKING GOING, MACH TWO?!?!!" I screamed in pain, hey could you really blame me? my arm was now broken and dislocated after a fucking flying horse just hit it like a crashing fighter jet. I started to quiet down after a few minutes of holding my arm and screaming my pain out before i started to -and i know I sound like a bitch here- slowly tear up and cry. I didn't care who saw me. I was in serious pain and I didn't know where I was or how I was gonna go home. I was scared. After a few more seconds of excruciating pain I began to feel a slight warmness around what was left of my arm, it felt as if it were wrapped up in a warm blanket but there was none. I watched incredulously as my arm slowly but surely began to mend itself, a few spine chilling cracks and fleshy noises and my arm was back to the way it was not five minutes ago. "Well fancy that..." I say through my still clenched teeth before i slowly tested my arm out pushing myself up into a sitting position staring face to face with ivory horse once more, the other five had gone to help the blue horse I clotheslined a few minutes before so it was just me and her. "Who are you...." I asked glaring up at her holding my now healed arm. "All your questions shall be answered Conner... but not here." The white one stated matter-o-factly , she stood back to her full height which was about six feet seven inches by the looks of it, being sixteen I was shorter by six inches but I didn't really care about that right now. I stood up fully and turned in the direction of the rainbow one to see all six of them trotting up to the both of us. The majority of the six look furious save the pink and yellow ones, they had a combination of fear and sadness on their faces,for who I couldn't tell, they all seemed ready to let me have a piece of their mind and well I wasn't in the mood for being yelled at so... let's see where this goes. Meanwhile... "This is going faster than I anticipated my dear...he already seems to hate them and they already seem to think the same...well most of them anyway. Nevertheless he will be ours soon enough. The old male voice croaked darkly. The female voice hesitated a bit while looking at Conner through what seemed to be a large mirror. A sigh escaped her lips as she watched him stand and go back to the castle of Twilight Sparkle with Celestia and the other Defenders. "Yes sir...he will be." "Indeed. Now we must prepare for his turn....you know what to do." the male replied not turning to look at her. "Yes...sir." The female replied. Meanwhile... again I was now currently sitting in a chair that was way too small for me, inside the castle I had awoken in, with seven multicoloured horses staring at me like I had six heads. "Okay I'm here now ivory... can you answer my question now as to who the hell you all are?" I grunted standing up out of the small chair opting to lean against the crystal walls instead, less uncomfortable than the chair but i still felt some of it digging into my back but I didn't really care at that point. The white monarch herself stood up as I did and trotted forward a bit and stood a little taller before she spoke. "I am Princess Celestia. I rule over this land known as Equestria, a land filled with ponies. There are three kinds of pony, Earth who are strong and have a connection to the land." she motioned to Pinkie and Applejack "Pegasi are able to walk on clouds and have wings" she motioned to Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash whom gave me a bit of a glare which I swiftly returned. "Lastly Unicorns who are able to cast spells and create magic." she motioned to Rarity. This caused me to raise and eyebrow a bit, magic? this bitch can't be serious. "Me and Twilight are a special kind of pony, we are Alicorns. We are a combination of all three pony types. There are currently only five of us in existence." Celestia finished off before relaxing a bit where she stood. "Now might I ask who you are?" Celestia asked seeing the Defenders look back to me with interest. I grunted a bit adjusting my position on the wall before I looked at her, my attitude had changed the second I heard she was a monarch, I hated monarchs, despised them... but right now I had to talk with one. "Evenin name's Conner. I'm from a country known as Ireland on a planet known as earth." I said finishing quickly. "I see..well these-" Celestia turned to the six ponies behind her "Are the Defenders of Equestria. They have saved it numerous times from creatures of evil and destruction." Celestia nodded to them indicating for them to introduce themselves. Twilight stepped forward and smiled a bit nervously. "My name is Twilight sparkle, I am the princess of friendship." she finished before stepping back. Applejack walked forward and took off her ten gallon hat, holding it against her chest. "Howdy, mah name's Applejack." Jesus did she have an accent. As soon as Applejack stepped back Rarity trotted towards me "Good evening darling, my name is Rarity." she said moving her mane? slightly out of the way of her horn. I didn't like how fancy she sounded. Rainbow Dash flew forward and stopped directly in front of my face, her eyes showed anger but she couldn't let it out in front of her little monarch. "I'm Rainbow Dash. Remember that name. I only stared back before responding in kind to her threat "Sure thing skittles." I chuckled seeing her confusion, before she could respond Twilight pulled her back with what seemingly no force of magic. The yellow one trotted out slowly " I-i'm Fluttershy... she whispered. "uh... Come again?" I asked not hearing a single word. "I-i'm Fluttershy.." she whispered even lower this time. "Uhhh... right then" I nodded. "You understood her?" Applejack interrupted. "Not in the slightest." I responded with a shrug. "You'll have to forgive Fluttershy... she can be.. well.... shy" Twilight finished off rubbing the back of her head lightly. "Yeah I can see that" I responded as the three stepped back once they did I swear i was nearly taken off my feet. Something hit me square in the chest at such speed i swear i could have gone through the wall, once I saw what had hit me I was extremely surprised. "HI! my names Pinkie Pie, it's super nice to meet you Conner!" the pick pony currently strapped to my chest like armour squealed so loud I thought my ears were gonna bleed. My ear's pain aside the first thing I did was try and get her off. "Well...it's uh..a pleasure!" I grunted on the last word as i forcefully pulled her off of my chest and was currently holding her in my hands, she was light and strong for her size i'll give her that. I placed Pinkie down and watched her retreat back to her group. Here I was staring at seven ponies on a Friday afternoon. How lucky am I? that's a debatable question at this point. " Now that we all know each other.. I believe I should return to Canterlot to find a way to send you home Conner. I will leave you in the care of my most trusted friends so that your time here isn't unpleasant." Celestia finished with a bow in my direction. I didn't like her... at all. Celestia's horn started to glow and in an instant... poof! she was just gone. Now my mind was officially in the ' what the fuck is happening ' stage of this whole scene and I wasn't to against joining it. "So. what now then" I questioned pushing myself off of the wall and proceeded to walk over to the group. Twilight was the first to speak out,. "well... I think the first thing that should be addressed is accommodation for you Conner then we can figure other things out. Does that sound like a good idea to you?" she asked looking over at me with an eyebrow raised. "Tis' I don't really wanna be sleeping on a bench tonight so that is a good start." I stated rolling my right shoulder a bit in pain from the wall digging into it. Seeing this Fluttershy I believe perked up and started to float over to me " is your arm in pain?" she asked her face showing concern for me and her voice loud enough for me to hear clearly. "Uhh just a little muscle aggravation...nothing severe, thanks." I said a little taken aback by the concern she was showing me all of a sudden when not five minutes ago she couldn't even form a sentence but ehh whatever. Fluttershy nodded lightly at me and smiled a small bit afterwards, she had a strangely contagious smile because not long after I found myself smiling too, did I know why? not a clue. "Darling you should stay with me! " Rarity said ecstatically rushing over " I am the element of generosity of course so it seems only fair that i help you in your time of need, do you not agree?" The one thing I don't agree with is that being your real voice. "I.. don't see why not I suppose." I stated rubbing the back of my head lightly. "Excellent! we'll leave right awa-" Rarity was cut off by Twilight "Actually Rarity I was hoping we could continue with question trading for a bit if you don't mind?" Twilight asked sheepishly. "Oh of course darling that sounds like fun " the walking marshmallow said sitting back down... is that the best I could come up with? Jesus i'm getting rusty at this. "All right...since I was last I guess it's your turn then.." I said sitting on what seemed to be Twilight's bed "okay I have a question then." I heard Rainbow Dash say clearly still not happy with me but I couldn't care less. "Shoot." I said leaning forward having my hand together with my elbows on my knees. "Why the heck did you hit me!!" she yelled lightly. jumping out of her seat with her wings flared out . "Let me answer your question with another, Why were you chasing me?" I asked causing her to snarl a little at me. "I chased you because Princess Celestia told us to-" I cut her off. "Ohhh Princess Celestia told me to I was doing it for Equestria and yadda yadda yadda.." I started with a mock tone and then reverted back to my original voice. This caused her to get really riled up and she was about to fly for me "Quit getting so angry, it was a joke for god's sake." I stated seeing her growl again "and I hit you because I felt threatened and hell it's not like you got its worse off then me in the end, I had my arm both broken And dislocated." I retorted before she could respond. "alright next question." Applejack raised her foreleg "just a quick question, do y'all have farms back on your world?" she asked a bit of curiosity on her face. "Damn right we do, hell we couldn't live without em and I sure as hell couldn't live without milk and potatoes." I stated chuckling a bit, I had a slight cereal addiction back home and well I drank a lot of milk, plus mash potatoes and milk are good as hell for you so I wasn't complaining. once I was done explaining I happened to catch Twilight writing presumably what I said down into a small notepad. "OH OH me next me next! " Pinkie said holding her right foreleg in the air like a student when they needed to go to the bathroom. "Uh yes....Pinkie." I said like a teacher would which felt really bloody weird. "Do you like cake? or parties?! or confetti!! or-" Twilight placed a hoof over Pinkie's mouth and smiled sheepishly again. "Well who doesn't like a bit of cake now and again? as for parties and confetti I guess I like em, but I rarely see em so." I shrugged at the last bit. Pinkie started bouncing up and down and began running around saying things like "I gotta get a cake made right away!" and "The party will be so much fun!!" I chose to ignore her and stand up "oh yeah Twilight, did I have a bag with me when Celestia brought me here? I asked looking at her with hope. Twilight nodded a bit "Oh yes I took the liberty of keeping it safe, she said walking over to a closet and unlocked it, after a few second she pulled out my black and orange Puma bag with was full to the brim , it may have been a school bag but I did not bring books in that thing. I sighed in relief when she offered it to me, the outside having no damage and the inside not sounding like it either. I opened it and looked around inside before nodding and throwing it over my shoulder. "Thanks Twilight...i appreciate it. Either way should I get going now that i'm ready?" I asked looking around. Rarity nodded " Yes darling I agree since it is getting late after all..." Twilight and the others excluding Pinkie nodded with her and started piling down the stairs. Once Pinkie got close enough I caught her by placing my hand on her head "Let's go Pinkie." I grunted letting go of her. "Okie dokie lokie." Pinkie giggled before bouncing ahead of me to meet with her friends. I sighed rubbing my head a bit as I started to follow them, I was putting everything I had on ivory finding a way for me to get home.... if she couldn't- No I don't think about what if's I think about what is. and that fact is I will get home. Keep the confidence high Conner... keep it high. I closed the large double doors to the castle as we all piled out, I placed my hands on my back and stretched slightly before sighing in relief. The six of the ponies were already far ahead of me but I decided to lag behind a bit and walk at my own pace, I had never seen a place like this before, all the houses were old and had a fantasy look and feel to em, the air felt so clean... like no harm had even come to it, the atmosphere was calm and free like I had no strings to hold me back. It felt nice but I shouldn't be enjoying it. I shook my head and was about to try catch up with the group, but something way more important caught my eye. A building with shamrock sign hanging on the front of the roof got my attention, The sign had 'The Four Leaf Clover' written under it, there was music coming from inside and the windows were darkened completely, there were a few barrels around the side which confirmed my conclusion. That was a bar. Now I know i'm only sixteen but my dad and me would always go out at least once every two weeks to got to a bar, I didn't drink actual beer of course, I drank cider. I turned my head back to where the ponies were going and saw Rarity walk up towards what seemed to be a giant roundabout looking building. Well now that I know where to go... I turned back towards the bar and started to walk towards it. "I need a drink."
