Chapter 2
Chapter 2
The scenery changed from a bright hallway of doors to a black void. I couldn't see a damn thing, I didn't even know where the mind invading horse went. I was all quiet as I float through the mass emptiness until I felt solid ground touch my feet.
I looked down below me to see a wooden flooring and quickly expanding below me. I started to look around and I seemed to have ended up in a living room, but something felt familiar.
"Who was that John!?"
I heard a women scream at what I'm guessing to be another man and she sounded pissed off. I moved around a corner to see... me!? I saw myself in the same clothing I was wearing and I was looking past a corner to where the screaming came from.
"Back off Julie!" I heard a man retort. I went to go touch my dream self to only pass through me. Dear god that sounds so weird.
"I see you found out you cannot interact with anything." I heard the familiar voice say as I saw the mist from again in front of me.
"Who are you and why are you doing this?!" I shouted at her, not only was she invading memories that had been locked away, but she didn't give a damn of what would happen to me.
"I guess I haven't told you, I am Nightmare Moon, rightful leader to Equestria before I was taken from me." She said with venom trailed in her voice. "As for why I'm doing this Michael, it's because your a new creature and I need to make sure you won't stop me from taking back Equestria." She said why chuckling.
SLAP!
Both I and Nightmare Moon were surprised to hear the noise, as for my dream self. He was holding back tears as he ran up the stairs as quietly as he could and slamming the door. What I didn't expect was for Nightmare Moon to follow my crying self up the stairs and into my room.
I went to follow her but I heard police sirens outside the front door. I saw a tall man walk to the door and opened it, he was greeted with 3 police officers at the door questioning him.
"What seems to be the problem, sir." One of the officers asked.
"I found out my wife was sleeping with another man and she tried to threaten me with a knife if I came any closer." the man explained. I didn't know the full details but I knew he was lying. But I was broken out of thought when I heard crying coming from upstairs.
"Is that your son sir?" A slimmer officer asked.
"Yes."
"Mind if I go talk to him?" He asked and the man nodded. I saw the officer pass the man which I'm guessing was John, up to the stairs. I decided that I didn't want to see what happens next and wisely followed the officer to my room.
Nightmare moon followed 'Michael' up to his room and saw him curling up with the pony plushie. This was somehow gotten to Nightmare moon, almost causing the dark pony to cry until she heard the doorknob click. She had gotten out of the way to see the event happen, but then she saw 'Michael' hid the plushie.
"Why would he hide the plushie, do others, not like it?" Nightmare Moon questioned herself as she watches an officer walk in and tried to comfort the crying boy.
'What's gotten the colt crying?' a voice said in Nightmare Moon's mind.
'Shut up Luna, this isn't why we're here.'
"I'm sorry, but your mom will be going away." the officer said. This gotten had Nightmare Moon's attention as 'Michael' had sprung up the bed, grabbed the pony plushie and ran past the shouting officer.
"Oh no..." The officer went to chase the boy while Nightmare Moon stood in shock. I arrived in the room and looked at the dark pony, confused at why she was shocked.
"What just happened?" I asked. But I was picked up in the magic and was pulled close to the pony, what startled me was that a second voice started talking.
"Why did you run away?" Luna asked.
"What do you mean?" I said, not sure what she meant, "I don't remember running away and why do I hear a second voice?."
'That must explain why the boy doesn't remember a single thing, he's got amnesia.' Nightmare Moon explained to herself and Luna.
"By the way, who was that?" I questioned but the room we were in had started to vanish.
"Looks like our time is up, it's almost time to conquer Equestria." Nightmare Moon said. "We'll see you soon, Michael."
And with that, the dark pony disappeared and I was once again in a dark and empty void.
What does she mean 'We'll see you soon?'
I awoke with a jolt as I sprung up from the... comfy couch I was laying on. I looked around to see I was in a living room that looked like the ones from medieval books. I went to get up off the couch but a small fluffy white rabbit jumped onto my chest and look into my eyes. I weirdest thing was this rabbit was inspecting me.
He then looked me dead in the eyes with a glare, sending uncertainty through me. After that, the rabbit nodded and got off my chest and hopped into another room.
I think that was the weirdest thing I've seen so far, I sighed and got off the couch to investigate the room but there was one small problem.
I was naked...
Holy shit I was naked, I panicked as I looked around for my clothes, I looked about everywhere but I couldn't seem to find them.
"Oh, you awake!" I heard a familiar voice say. I turn my head around to see Fluttershy looking at me with a happy smile plastered across her face.
"Um... hello." I said nervously, "Do you happen to have my um... clothes."
Fluttershy than began to blush as she realized what I meant. "Well they're drying right now, they should be done soon. Oh, and I made you some food!" Fluttershy explained as she went into a room which I presume was the kitchen. I looked more around my surroundings and realized there were a lot of cages for animals.
I went to put the blanket around my waist so then I wouldn't have to show my um... parts in front of the nice pony. I then felt something tap my foot as I looked down to see the rabbit again with a smile and he reached out with his arms. I then realized that he wanted to be picked up and so I did.
"I see that you met Angel," Fluttershy said. I turned around with a smile appearing on my cheeks as I looked towards the pegasus with a basket full of different foods.
I almost drooled at the sight of so many different foods, it consisted of bread, fruits, vegetables, apples, and... hay? Well, that last one made sense because this place is full of ponies. I put Angel down and walked to Fluttershy and grabbed the basket full of food. "Thank you, Miss Fluttershy."
"Your welcome... um."
"Michael, my name is Michael miss," I told her my name so then I would be called something different. I don't want a name like Comet or anything else the ponies could call me.
"Well, your welcome Michael." Fluttershy finished as she came closer to me and... hugged me. "You were so worn out when I found you, it looked like you haven't slept and ate in days."
"I guess you could say that..." I whispered and sat down on the comfortable couch. I decided that I needed some carbs, so I went for the bread first. I picked up the golden brown loaf and took a small bite and it was the best decision I've made so far, the bread tasted amazing! I consumed the bread so fast that it surprised Fluttershy.
"It looks like your hungry."
"Yup!" I said with a mouthful full of an apple. I realized I did it rudely, so I swallowed what apple I had in my mouth and said those words again with an apology.
"Oh... you don't need to apologize, you were so excited."
"I know, but I still shouldn't have," I said while taking another bite out of the apple. "So... where am I exactly?"
"Well... you're in Equestria, just outside of Ponyville," Fluttershy explained to the best of her knowledge.
"Ponyville? And why were you making birds sing earlier?" I questioned while holding in a laugh from the ridiculous name.
"Well right now we're about to hold the Summer Sun Celebration and I've been put in charge of the music!" Fluttershy said with delight.
"Well, in my opinion, your music sounds wonderful!" I exclaimed with a thumbs up.
"Oh thank you..." Fluttershy said a bit quiet while she tried to hide her blush behind her mane.
"Anyway, when is it being held," I asked while I took a bite out of a carrot. I notice Angle got on the couch and stared at the carrot. I looked towards the vegetable in my hand and smiled. "Here you go fella," I said while I gave the fluffy white rabbit the rest of my carrot.
"That was very nice of you," Fluttershy said, finished hiding behind her mane. "Also, the Summer Sun Celebration is being held tonight. Want to come?" Fluttershy offered. I smiled and gave the pegasus a toothy grin while giving her a thumbs up.
"Count me in."
"Excellent! We'll leave in a little bit for the town hall." Fluttershy exclaimed while she went to get prepared. I just sat on the couch, alone with Angel...
"Can I have my clothes back?"
