To Feel Is To Understand: A My Little Pony Story

I walk out of the castle, then it starts to rain.

Anger and sadness is the only thing that’s running through my mind.

I bump into a grey Pegasus.

“Oh, sorry! I didn’t see you there.” The Pegasus says.

“It’s ok. It was my fault.” I say

It rains harder.

“It’s really pouring out! Follow me! I know a place we can stay.” The Pegasus says

We run to a small house.

“Doc! Can you open the door?! It’s raining!” The Pegasus yells.

A spiky haired Earth Pony opens the door, then says “Oh it’s just you Derpy. Come inside.”

We walk inside.

“Sorry, I couldn’t introduce myself before, my name is Derpy Hooves, and this is my friend, Dr. Whooves, no relation.” Derpy says.

“Nice to meet you, Doc.” I say, before reaching out my hoof.

“Nice to meet you, too.” The Doc says, after shaking my hoof.

“And you are?” Derpy asks.

“Oh! My name is Arthur Paige.” I say.

The Doctor walks out of view.

“Why do you look so down, Arthur? If you don’t mind me asking.” Derpy says.

“Well, Derpy. Me and Twilight Sparkle were dating, and we broke it off.” I say.

“Really? Why?” Derpy says.

“She said she loves somepony else.” I say.

“You seem like a nice pony. I don’t see why she wouldn’t stick with somepony like you.” Derpy says.

“Thanks Derpy, but she is royalty. I guess it would make sense to marry into royalty. I should just face it, I won’t be good enough for anypony.” I respond.

“Hey now, do you want to know something funny? I used to think the same thing. Up until Doctor over there told me, “Everypony belongs to somepony”. From then on, i’ve just been waiting for somepony to walk into my life.” Derpy says.

The room goes silent.

The The Doctor yells from the other room “Derpy! Come see my new invention!”

Me and Derpy walk to the Doctor.

“What is it?” Derpy asks.

“It’s a teleportation machine, Arthur will you be my test subject?” The Doctor asks.

“Sure. It won’t kill me, though, right?” I say.

“It shouldn’t. I’ve tested it with objects.” The Doctor says.

“Okay. What do I do?” I ask.

“Just step into that chamber right there.” The Doctor says.

I step into the empty, dark chamber, then the Doctor shuts the door.

I hear electricity.

I keep thinking about the break up. Hate starts running through my mind, then I black out.

“What is that? Arthur is that you?” I hear Derpy say.

“I think it’s a human, I read about them but I didn’t think they exist.” I hear The Doc say.

“Hey, what happened?” I ask.

“I think I may have left an artifact in the chamber.” The Doc says.

I feel so weak.

I open my eyes.

I don’t believe it. I have my human body back, with the same clothes that I had on, before I went through that portal.

The Doctor opens the door, then says “Oh jeez, hey I said it wouldn’t kill you.”

“Arthur is that you?” Derpy asks.

“Yeah, it’s me.” I say, before I step out of the chamber.

Another me steps out of the other chamber, he now has a unicorn horn.

“Hello, me. I guess I should look for those elements, right?” Other Me says.

“I think I should reverse this.” The Doctor says.

The Teleportation chambers explode.

“I don’t think so, but I think I should have a name that’s not so confusing. From now on call me Nexus.” Nexus says.

Nexus disappears, in sparks.

“We have to go. Now! Grab anything that’ll help us. Supplies, food.” I say.

“Arthur what is going on?” Derpy asks.

“Do you know what the Elements of Harmony are?” I ask.

“Yeah, I do. Is that what Nexus was talking about?” Derpy asks.

“I don’t know. But, he could be talking about the Elements of Disharmony. The Elements of Disharmony are the “bad” versions of the Elements of Harmony, if somepony evil has them, then it would mean the end of Harmony.” I say.
