A Somewhat Realistic Displacement
Chapter 1: Why?
Previous ChapterJogging to work, we see a McDonald's crew trainer is over an hour late, granted they don't care considering he's been working there for over six years, but it's more of the fact that he's losing money. The main problem is that whenever he does anything related to cardio, he tends to get migraines, the one the McDonald's worker getting right now, however, is the worst one he's ever had. It's so painful that he has to close his eyes in pain, and in doing so didn't see the blinding light that surrounded him.
As the light faded along with his migraine, the crew trainer managed to open his eyes, and what he saw before him was not the suburbs he's grown used to, it's been replaced with dense forest with a path, going in two ways. The crew trainer decided to go with his gut; he put his hand underneath the leather trench coat he was wearing, pulled out his trusty Magnum Research BFR, and pulled out his phone then opened up the compass app, the path went from east to west, going west would probably result in going further in the forest, given the fact that is darker down that way. So with that in mind, he went east, holding his BFR at a forty-five-degree angle trying to be vigilant, the keyword is trying.
After walking for forty or so minutes, the crew trainer finally saw a stone wall with a wooden gate, reminding him of Riverwood from Skyrim. As he passed the gate, he looked around to get his bearings, realizing that he's not in Skyrim, the first thing to tip him off was the anthropomorphic horses walking about, the next was like four horse ladies with wings and horns flying right for him, and boy did they look pissed off, when they landed in front of him another five horse ladies and a unicorn guy came from behind two of the ladies were also flying. Being the pinnacle of human evolution, he did the one thing he could think of, dropping his BFR to the ground he put his hands in the air,
"I surrender!" the crew trainer yelled in a panic, "Ain't no way in hell am I gonna fight these strange unicorn pegasus hybrids," he thought to himself. They looked at each other in confusion, the tall white one walked forth,
"There is no need to be afraid, we just wish to ask some questions," she said in a motherly tone, with a relieved sigh the crew trainer agreed to answer some of their questions so long as they answer some of his, they accepted, and they went off to a crystal castle that surprised the living hell out of the human. The tall white horse lady cleared her throat to get everyone's attention when they got to the map room of the castle,
"I do believe that introductions are in order, I am Princess Celestia, Co-Ruler of Equestria and Goddess of the Sun," the lady, now known as Princess Celestia, said, next was a tallish, dark blue horse lady,
"I am Princess Luna, Co-Ruler of Equestria and Goddess of the Moon,"
"I am Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, Co-Ruler of the Crystal Empire and Goddess of Love," a tall pink horse lady introduced,
"I am Prince Shining Armor, Co-Ruler of the Crystal Empire," the unicorn dude said, huh are all the gods' women? Neat, too bad his wife is most likely going to outlive him though,
"I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, Goddess of Friendship and the Element of Magic," One by one, each of the horse people introduced themselves until the McDonald's worker was last,
"I am James Lowe, McDonald's crew trainer," he said, this got some confused looks from them, except Twilight,
"Oh right, you're a human, right? she asked,
"Huh? Oh yeah, uh Pinkie, you think you could, you know?" he said getting the party pony's attention until she realized what he meant,
"Oh yeah! He's not from the Mirror World; he's from where the audience is from, meaning I've been right the entire time, saying there are beings out there watching our adventures, laughing and crying with us!" she said in one breathe, leaving everyone shocked and looking at the human.
"And people think I talk fast, Jesus Christ girl you should stay away from coffee," then he realized that they're still looking at him. "Uh anyway, yeah, what she said is the truth. Do you think there's a way for me to go back home?" after a few minutes of waiting to let the shock go away, the Princesses huddled together and started whispering a plan, after a few minutes, they turned back to the lost human,
"Alright we shall help you, but it may be a while until we figure out how to send you home, Twilight has a theory that you might not be from this universe or dimension, we may have to get Discord involved," Celestia explained, he nodded,
"Yeah, I figured as much, but hey, a vacation is a vacation, am I right?" he chuckled as did the others, "So where am I going to be staying?"
"You shall stay here in Ponyville, with Twilight, given the fact that you came from the Everfree Forest, it'd be best to keep you close to the place you teleported in from," Celestia again explained,
"Okay, that makes sense, I think," James said,
"Also in two days we shall return so we can see how that contraption of yours works," Luna said with a smirk,
"Ah, okay then," James said as he looked at his right wrist then back to Luna, "please tell me you have spells that can fix broken bones," this confused the Goddess of the Night,
"There are, why might I ask?"
"Let's just say, if I use this thing in the wrong way, I could end up breaking my wrist...again,"
"I see, well you best use it properly then, it wouldn't look suitable for a Goddess such as myself, to be the personal healer of a commoner,"
"Well, technically I'm an alien so, but you're not wrong that I am a commoner,"
After the very long discussion, the two groups parted ways, James stayed in a guest room at the castle as he watched the sunset and the moonrise he thought to himself, "God, I fucking hate you,"
