My Little Brony: The Orion Paradox

"But Daddy, I'm not finished with my playdate! It was just getting interesting too..."

"Now now darling spawn of mine, the time has come to stop playing with such childish things...besides, it's way past your bedtime."

"Oh fine! I guess I'll have to wait until tomorrow for more chaos..."

The night summer breeze graced my face, a soft sudden embrace of what felt like an arm nudging me. It felt like what was a dream, yet reality hit me all to quick as I recall what I had done and where I was...In a bed, window side to a beautiful starry night, full moon gracing down to the quaint village. Minute after minute, I began to question and worry about my current predicament...and the last actions I took to get here.

"Ponies? Friendship is Magic is just a show! I'm Orion Cornelius, a quirky brony with a food handlers license and a knack for the unknown. At this point, living in a dirt town from Texas feels like a century ago...But it's only been a week since my arrival!

So why the long feeling of such disparrow, and home sickness?"

I stop thinking, and turn over in bed, a rude awakening following my sudden realization. The next few minutes I remain blinking slowly, take a deep breath and contemplate what I was staring at. It was a fuzzy figure, but the more I gazed, the more I remember where I was, and how I got here. The truth couldn't be harsher, almost unbelievably ridiculous of how obvious my life had turned.

"Oh yeah, that's right...a book from my local library...A twenty-three year old sent into a world of technicolor ponies. Fictional talking ponies from a television show, and me smack dab in the middle."

I bit down on my lip and thought loudly, coming to terms that this was my life. The resting purple unicorn sharing her ber and home with me, a bipedal freak of nature that shouldn't be here. The nice ponyfolk of Equestria welcomed me with open arms, and earlier today was a grand celebration; hell, their equine leader granted me citizenship today! I have been living in Equestria for a solid week, with almost no inspiration to go home.

So why this pit of anxiety in my stomach? Why couldn't I remember a memory other than just waking a few moments ago?

The more I thought, the better I felt, but as I continued, a sleeping Twilight Sparkle began to fidget and squirm. It was unclear what our relationship was at this point, she had given me a place to sleep, some oats for nourishment...but why? I remember how I arrived to Ponyville, but what was the connection between this purple unicorn and myself? I stubbornly came to the decision to wake the turned over mare, my hand slowly running against her mane, up to her ears.

"Twilight? Hey Twi."

"Wha? What's wrong, Orion? It's the middle of the night..."

Twilight eventually replied back, her back still turned from me and the yawn practically escaping her muzzle.

"W-Well, I was just wondering why you're so nice to me. You may have summoned me here, but you didn't have to take care of my silly self...I shouldn't have even took that book home."

I nervously choked, my hands slowly wrapping around her soft waist while she snuggled close to me. This tired mare slowly rolled over and locked eyes with me, very heavy hazed eyes.

"You act like you're aburden, but you are a blessing! I don't know much about where you came from but I know I'm glad you're here with me. I've never seen a being like you before."

*SQUEE!*

The quick embrace of a tiny mare locking her hooves around me was so adorable it even made a sound! A long slow nuzzle at my neck followed before she stared back at me, the moonlight shimmering in her eyes...but was it alright to pursue this askew friendship.

"Umm, Twi...Are we?"

Before I could even finish my question, a big smirk grew on this gorgeous mare's face. The tension grew in my stomach while she sat up right, leaning closer to me with such a look of eagerness to it.

"You don't remember your first night with me? Granted I was under the influence, I recall you really enjoyed yourself..."

She softly spoke while a hoof rubbed against my shirtless chest, the blanket enveloping both of us from the waist down. This arrangement however, would not last for long!

"Well, we may have already experienced eachother...but we don't have to complicate this..."

"Shh...Let's just sleep on it! Tomorrow is a new day..."

Twilight cutely chimed, her warm breath gracing my cheek as she came close to cuddle with me. The night came to an awkward silence while we began to lie together, her head resting on my chest as I slowly ran my fingers through her pinkish purple mane. I didn't know why I had such a sudden rush of amnesia, and why this felt so dreamlike. I was exactly where I was when I woke, thinking to myself in self doubt.

Welp, not only am I stuck here in Equestria, living with the smart bookworm mare Twilight Sparkle...apparently I have a repore with this purple unicorn...I am currently living and sleeping with a talking, spell casting mare...

Buck my life.

Little did I know, the same night, a quirky brown colt was conducting an experiment in his lab. An experiment that would shake my very existence to it's core.

"Gee, Doctor! What's with all the blinky lights!?'

"You see my dear Derpy, an anomaly of high chaos energy has just spiked! This alone is nothing too bizzare in Ponyville, but with the arrival of that bipedal chum, I fear the worst is yet to come!"

"D'oh, you mean that long haired foreigner!? He's silly looking!"

"Although different, that creature may be the very reason these tachyons are forming! We must investigate this Orion fellow for questioning... See what he knows."
