Bad Dream

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Chris paced around his house frantically as thousands of questions went though his head with no answers. He kept telling himself that this was a dream, it had to be a dream. But even with how many times he tried to wake himself up, either by slapping himself, pinching is arm, nothing was waking him up.

What was that thing that he seen outside? It looked like a small horse thing. Like it was out of a cartoon or something. It was small, gray, and got weird hair. It's eyes were super huge too, like a lot bigger then normal.

Chris started to think back to what he ate, maybe he had some really bad lunch that sent him into a fucked up acid trip. He couldn't think of anything that was out of the ordinary. He stared out the window at the open field again. Shaking his head he looked around his destroyed room again. Maybe cleaning this place up would ease himself a little bit, to keep his mind somewhere else that wasn't a magic portal land.

He started picking up all his belongings off the floor and placing them back on his desk and shelves. Some of the shelves were broken off, nothing a couple nails and a hammer couldn't fix but that was too much of an investment that this point. He picked up everything he could that wasn't smashed to pieces, picking up his switch off the floor, he sighed with relief as he watched the screen power on.

"At least that still works." Chris mumbled to himself. Thinking of other technology he looked over to his computer on his desk. He couldn't tell if it survived, there was no working power in the house judging by none of the lights working. Testing his theory he flipped the light switch a few times, nothing.

Curious, He went into the bathroom and turned on the sink. A small amount of water came out before stopping. As he turns the water off he hears a couple loud bangs on the door. That can't be good. Coming from the bathroom he goes back to his room and open the closet, grabbing his baseball bat.

He knows it has to be someone and not just a weird animal this time, otherwise it wouldn't of knocked like that, but he didn't want to take any chances. Slowly walking back to the living room area he stared at the door. There was another hard knock on the door that made Chris jump a little at it. He kept the baseball bat out of sight behind his back, just in case he didn't want to make a bad impression.

Maybe it was a neighbor that got sucked into the portal as well? He reluctantly approached his own front door and turned the lock. Opening the door slowly he took a peek outside.

Horses. More colorful horses.

And a lot of them too this time.

He gulped slightly as he pushed the door open the rest of the way, causing all the small equines to step back a little. they all looked at him with their big eyes, it kind of freaked him out. they all were different colors, accept the ones in the front that were all white, wearing armor and... had spears pointed straight at him.

The different colored ones stayed behind the guard ones, there were six of them, all different colors. Purple, Blue, Yellow, Orange, White, and Pink. The Purple and White had horns it looked like, the Purple one had wings as well. Their horns were glowing weird colors. The Blue and Yellow ones were flying with their own wings, with no horns though, hovering above the ground a few feet.

They all stared at each other for what felt like minutes, taking in everything about each other. He seen a few of the guards looking behind him, looking at the baseball bat he had in his hand.

"Drop the Weapon." one of the guards said in the front in a stern voice.

It just talked. This thing just said works in English directed at him.

Fucking what?

There is no way that just happened. Chris's mind was fried at hearing those words as he focused on the pony that spoke.

"I said drop the weapon or face the consequences." He said again.

"Maybe it doesn't understand you," The Purple one spoke from behind them. "It's obviously scared and doesn't kn-"

She stops mid sentence as he lets go of the bat and let's it drop to the ground with a heavy bang. It makes a few of the horse things jump.

"I.... can understand you." Chris says shakily.

A few of the horses gasp audibly.

"You can?" The Purple on steps forward past the horses in armor.

"Princess wait we don-"

The purple one raises a wing to silence the other one before looking back other at you. She was at about stomach level as she looks up at you.

"I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, and what are you?" She asks Chris

"I'm Chris... Chris Hartman. I am a human."

"how did you get here?"

"I... don't know, I really don't. All of a sudden I was in my house, and then a portal thing threw me into the air and sucked in down into it. Now I'm here."

Twilight was still trying to comprehend how this thing or, human as it said, was talking to her like it was a normal conversation.

"How do you know how to speak Equestrian?" Twilight asks Chris again

"well, It's called English were I'm from, back on earth."

"Earth? I've never heard of a place called Earth before."

Hearing that made Chris's heart sink a little. That meant a few things. Either he was on a new planet or even in a new universe, or this horse doesn't know anything Astronomy.

"and where am I now?" Chris asks.

"You are in Equestria, near Ponyville to be more specific."

"Ponyville? So does that make you ponies?"

She gives him a nod "Yes, I am a pony, an Alicorn, meaning I have both a horn and wings," She looks up at her horn and shuffles her wings at her sides to demonstrate. "Do you have ponies where you are from on Earth?"

"Yes and no, he have ponies and horses and alike, but not like you. They look nothing like you guys do, also they don't talk or have horns or wings. They are used mostly on farms and stuff like that"

She takes a moment to take in that information and gives a small nod.

"I see, well, you said you came here through some type of portal?"

He gives her a nod.

"Well maybe there is a way that we could send you back to your world. I don't know too much about sending somepo-," she corrected herself. "someone back to another world or even universe, but there is always hope." She gives him a small smile.

"That would be great yeah. If you were able to do that. I would sure fucking hope you could"

She chuckles slightly at his choice of words.

"Okay then, we can try and start by taking you back to the castle and sending a letter to Princess Celestia. She is one of our co-rulers here in Equestria along with her sister Princess Luna. I'll have the guards stay here so they can watch your house for you."

Well, if following this pony back to her village meant that he could maybe get back home, it was worth a shot.

"Alright, lets get going."

Chris says as the rest of the ponies start to walk down the dirt path, the guards staying behind. He follows with the six other ponies, two on either side of him as the purple one leads on.

This was still the weirdest fucking dream he has ever had.


Author's Note

I tried to not rush this chapter as much and tried putting a little more detail in. As I've said I'm not a writer and am just doing this for fun.
