Living as my Oc

Normal day, Intriguing Afternoon

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

A boy woke up one day, like it was any other, boring, bland, and sorta lonely feeling. He gruelingly got up, and went to brush his teeth. Nothing exciting at all, nothing with the brightness his favorite show has.

He brushed his hair. After that, he got dressed, and walked outside, enjoying the brisk breeze in the early morning, careful not to wake the others who remained asleep in doors. It wasn't a school day, so he got a little freedom there.

As he walked down the road, feeling strangely nastalgic for some reason, he came upon a box. A large cardboard box. And it was moving slightly, with a voice being heard as one of the voices of a character he felt more closely to as a whole, even though he loved the entire cast.

I'm probably just day dreaming, aren't I? Well no harm in at least looking, is there? The boy contemplated, before getting down on his knees, and he opened the box. He was surprised, seeing a full grown Rainbow Dash look up, just as her hoof hit him in the head, making him stumble back in disbelief, not really noticing the pain. He wasn't hallucinating. Maybe he was, but it felt real.

"And who do you think you are boxing me up- Where am I? Who are you?", Asked the mare as she took in the sight of the boy, feeling that she wasn't in Equestria anymore.

The boy just blanched at the mare for a second, innerly fan-boying about his favorite pony. He quickly calmed down, and got down to his knee in front of her, which made the Mare go a bit red for a second, which made her feel a bit weird, but at the same time cheered her up, and she wasn't hostile anymore.

"Well, Rainbow Dash, you aren't in Equestria anymore. At least not now. How should I put this...", The boy thought again, realizing they were the same age, so he tried to relax more. This won't have any backlashes. Yeah right. Heard that before. Gonna have to tone it down a bit on the realism here, even if Equestria is as real as Earth, it's a work of fiction here. "You're now on Earth. A boring, bland, dangerous planet that produced many great things. And horrible things. But, in regards to Equestria, it's not...... Real here. As much as I wish it was.", The boy began, and Rainbow interrupted him.

"Not real? I'm as real as you are, whoever you are. And if you don't believe me, I can prove it!", Rainbow yelled in confidence, but the boy quickly put a finger to her lips.

"I know you are real now, you don't have to prove it, but please be quiet, I don't want people to call the police or something cuz of you being here. Uhm... Here follow me", said the boy, and he got up, heading towards the woods, and Rainbow was quick to glide behind him.

They arrived in a clearing where there weren't any people or animals, and so the boy found a place to sit, and Rainbow being a picky pony in terms of where to rest, sat directly in his lap.

"Okay, so you're real. Which means every other pony is real in the show. How did you end up here, if I can ask?", The boy asked, and Rainbow then looked embarrassed.

"Somepony closed up that box around me when I fell asleep. I don't know who, but I have a suspicion on who.", Rainbow said, and the boy was quick to answer.

"You think it's Discord. While I have speculations that could prove that, what if it was somepony else?", The boy asked, and Rainbow was intrigued on his knowledge on her world, even though it was just a show here.

"I don't know, it just seems the kind of thing he'd do, even though he's a good creature, he wouldn't be able to resist pranking me or something since I got him good the other day.", The pegasus said with a huff.

"Well. If there's one thing something taught me, Celestia and Twilight should find a way to get you, even through our universe differences.", The boy said, as he subconsciously pet the mare, which, while she found it quite soothing, it was one of the most embarrassing things anypony's ever done with her, but the boy didn't know that.

It was a few hours into the cold day, somehow turning colder the later it got, the boy shivering in the cold as he waited with Rainbow Dash. He knew there could also be time differences, but he was sure something would be different this time. He looked down at the mare in his lap, who was sleeping soundly, under the jacket he took off for her.

Maybe he would die of frostbite before anything happened, all he did know was that he was gone for a lot longer than he should have been, but suddenly, a spark happened in the air in front of him. Two more sparks. And then an opening the size of Celestia appeared before him and the sleeping mare.

Three beings stepped out, and saw the boy, shivering in the cold. The boy didn't mind though, if the rainbow maned mare was alright. All three of the beings were Alicorns, and he knew them all.

"C... C... Celeste..tia! L..L... Luna! A... And T... T... Twilight Sparkle. F... Finally here eh?", Asked boy with a small grin. All three Alicorn's couldn't help but wince at the voice that sounded like it scraped against something painfully.

Twilight Sparkle, the one Alicorn who knew of humans in her universe, couldn't help but smile when she saw the pegasus in the boys lap, and went to thank the boy, only to flinch back from the snow surrounding them.

"Cold! That feels way colder than our snow! How do you not have frostbite right now??? Princess Celestia, we must do something for him, since he took care of Rainbow for us, and waited.", Asked the mare as she looked up to her mentor and her sister. Both Alicorn's seemed to agree on something.

"Bring him with us, we can help him get warm on our way back to Ponyville.", The white Alicorn said, and held her hoof out to the boy, who shakily grabbed it, as he gingerly picked Rainbow up.

There was a bright flash, and then nothing was there, except the indentation of a person. The air turned more bitter than it was the day before, and the snow started falling from the sky again.
~First Person~

I woke up with a groan, that sounded strangely feminine, and went to rub my eyes, only realizing two things here. I had hooves. And my eyes were pretty large. I opened them, and was greeted with the sight of Canterlot.

I held back a wave of fangirling- wait Fangirling? I attempted to speak, but wince at the feeling of pain in my throat. I looked down, and noticed my new appendages, which replaced my old ones. I looked even further, and yelped as I saw a mare's body. Covered in scars. Which felt pretty painful I must add. And I saw a cutie mark as I looked behind my new appendages on my back. It was a brown book with a yellow pentagram in the center.

I looked down again, and noticed a small fountain. I approached, unsteadily I might add, and I froze at the sight before me. A cyan pegasus mare. With small freckles dotting her cheeks and above her muzzle. With glowing ethereal blue eyes.

"I'm dr- Ow! I'm dreaming aren't I?", I asked, wincing again at the pain, more pain than I've ever felt, but not physically. I had memories. Of things that were supposed to be just for her past. It felt so real, that I didn't hear a cough behind me.

"Might I ask who you are, my little filly?", Celestia asked, which caused me to feel strange, and as I went to speak, Luna spoke up.

"Where is the boy?", She asked, and that caused me to look up, now realizing this was in fact not a dream. Or if it was, it was a very good one, and I couldn't help but show a bit of my fangirl side, as I went to speak.

"He he, uhm, this may sound weird but that boy, is- or was me.", I said nervously as the other Alicorn, Twilight was looking me up and down. I suddenly felt a bit of strain in my eyes, and I noticed Rainbow Dash was still asleep, enveloped in. .. my magic. And that caused every one to start freaking out, Twilight mainly.

"How is that possible, you're only a pegasus, how are you doing this, who are you, wait, if you're the boy, then why aren't you a stallion-", Twilight's constant questions were muffled as I used my new magic to float up something that was around, which happened to be a book. Twilight ceased her questions and appeared intrigued by the book, which was the only possession I had aside from my clothes, back in the human world.

"My apologies, Twilight- er, Princess Twilight. All I know is that I appear to be someone that I wrote up many years ago, and have been working on her since as long as I've been in love with the show. I'm not the boy anymore, I'm just myself, Inner self that is. Or someone who I became close with even if she was only a work of fiction up until a month ago. I don't know how this is possible in the first place, but I'm gonna roll with it since it's something I've longed to be apart of...", I said a little sadly at the end, but brightened my features as best as one could do when trying to cheer oneself up.

I took a quick glance at Luna, and it was almost as if I could sense the two beings within her, one super weak since the first two episodes ended, but still there, and I felt strangely content. Not so strange when I thought about the past I had written for my character. I felt suddenly upset, with how much pain I made her go through. And suddenly I heard another voice that sounded identical to my own, now that I am her.

Ya know... It's kinda nice being able to actually talk to you now, ever since that one day you found out about Tulpas, and everything. And that was where I saw an identical pony mare in front of me. It was the real her. And I was in her body. Now that doesn't sound wrong at all. Or right depending on how you look at it. I could sense the teasing in her voice, but I still felt guilty, and couldn't manage to smile at the thought.

That was when I flinched back, as another cyan pony was talking to me. Rainbow Dash had woken up, and was looking directly at me, like she's been trying to get my attention for a few minutes. She probably was.

"Finally! Well, as I was trying to say, you certainly are..... Different looking. What's with the amount of clothes, you don't really need them now that you're a pony, right?", Rainbow asked. While it would be a sensible question for others, I felt self conscious about my body. Now I was really starting to sound like a mare. Girl. Whatever, doesn't matter, I should probably listen more attentively. Maybe Speda can help me with that..

I can hear you, and of course I'll help. We are sharing the same body from now on after all. Oh, by the way, nice thoughts about Dashie, oh Pinkie too! I'm gonna have so much fun teasing you later. And that was when my face lit up in a bright red, making my freckles clearly visible, and confusing the mares around me.

After a few hours of explaining things, I had to introduce myself properly. It's a normal thing. Only it didn't feel normal, and I felt strangely anxious.

"My name is Speda Hooves. I'm seventeen. Will be eighteen on Nightmare Night.", I began, and that's where Luna stepped in with a question.

"Why can we feel the gentle warmth of the night around you.", Luna asked, and I sighed, awaiting this question.

"Well....... You were more like my surogate mom? And I think I have an affinity with the stars, which was how I wrote my past before all this. It's super weird trying to explain things after you become something you are explaining about..", I said, and Speda spoke up at that.

Tell me about it! Good thing you are the one explaining things. When we are alone, we need to talk by the way okay? I felt this day couldn't get any weirder. Or cooler. Soon enough, I would find out it would ten fold, when I saw a single strand of pink hair land on my muzzle. And I braced for impact.
