The beginning

(Authors note: Big thanks to Thorlol)

Intro

"Wake up,wake up Craig!" said a mysterious voice, "Wake up!" Craig got scared and fell off his bed.

"what do you want Neil!?" said Craig angry from falling. Neil is Craig's roomate, He is 29 years old with long black hair.

"It's almost 10:00 P.M", "Oh crap! why didn't you wake me up earlier!?" Craig said hurrying to get dressed. Craig slept more than anyone in his family, He is also 27 years old with brown/red hair, "Well I..Uh..."Craig interupted Neil, "Never mind that thanks for getting me up" Craig said while getting his lunch he made before hand then he was right out of the door.

Craig nearly hit his mailbox he was such in a hurry, "Okay It's 10:11 P.M i still have enough time to get to the Observatory" Craig said to himself. Craig got to his car and started It up. As Craig was driving he popped his favorite mix CD named "Sounds of Music", Craig was rocking out, but not too much since he was driving. Craig passed the old school then the pet park, "Maybe I should bring Neil here since he acts like a dog sometimes" Craig said with a chuckle. Craig merged to the left then took the exit to the Observatory.

when Craig got In the building Craig was not greeted by anyone he simply just went to his work place, Which was a big open area with a giant telescope. Craig's job was to look through the microscope to see If there was any new comets or star(s), he would usually just sit around most of the time playing solitare or some other card game. Craig has only worked at the Observatory for almost 5 month's and still hasn't seen anything out of the ordinary. While Craig was looking through the telescope he saw something, "Is that a new planet!?" Craig said with excitement, After about a minute he realized that It was only a speck of dust, "Darn It I really thought I had something here" Craig said with dissapointment, "Oh well maybe tomorrow".

"Hey Craig wake up you gotta see this" Niel said while shaking Craig till he finally said something, Crag looked at the clock 8:00.Pm.

"What's so important...Can you stop shaking me im awake" Craig said felling a little dizzy from Niel's wake up.

"Check this show out, now bare with me it has ponies in it" Niel said turning on the T.v. When Niel finally stopped channal surfing a show popped up saying "my Little Pony:Frienship is magic".

"What is this Niel" Craig looking confused, "Bear with me It's a pretty good show just give it a chance", "Alright alright I'll try to watch it" Craig said waving Niel out of his room.

A couple hours went by till Niel came back to check up on Craig and seeing if he liked the show.

"Craig so how do you-" Niel was interupted by Craig singing the main theme,

"...oh hey Niel" Craig said feeling embarassed, "I take it you like the show"?, "Yes" Craig said, "well I shall leave you alone, I need to get to work" Niel said while closing Craig's door. When Craig was done watchng "My Little Pony" Craig plopped on his bed and slept till Niel came back.

the next day was bright, but not too bright, Some clouds were overhead, Craig was doing his chores around the house and Niel was sleeping, Craig stopped what he was doing when he heard the phone ring. Craig picked up the phone, "Hello"? Craig said,

"Hey Craig i'm gonna be a little late today, I had to fill in for a guy so i'll be home somewhere after midnight, Okay"? Niel said waiting for Craig's reply.

"Yeah sure I'll probably be asleep anyway", "Alright, well i got to go bye", "bye" Craig said. Then he hung up. "Well back to doing chores".

"Now that I'm finally done with chores what shall I do now"?,Craig said looking at the clock."Hmm, I guess I'll just watch some My Little Pony for a while then go take a nap". "Knock, Knock",A female voice said while knocking on the door.

"huh?" Craig said just waking up from his nap, "Craig you home?" The female said, Craig opened the door to find his neighbor Beth. "Hi,what are you doing here"? Craig said a little confused,

"some of your mail got into my mailbox so here you go", Beth handed Craig his mail, "Thanks",Craig said , "Oh and Craig" Beth said, "Ya"?, "Would you like to get something to eat later...together, "Beth said feeling a little timid.

"Sure, how about tomorrow at the new french cafe?" Craig said with a smile, "Sounds good well bye",Beth said. "Bye", Craig closed the door and thought, "Did someone just ask me out?".

The day was the day, Craig was about to go on a date. "Hey Niel how do I look?" Craig asked posing, wearing a tux,

"Hmm, I think you look sharp but that might be too much i mean It's just a cafe", Niel said, "Ya you're probably right I'l go put on something else". "How about this", Craig said wearing a white T-shirt with a brown jacket and blue jeans,

"Perfect",Niel said with thumbs up. "Well I'm off,bye" Craig walked out the door to his car.

Craig started his car and backed up from his garage and then he was off. "I should probably give beth some roses on my way to the cafe", Craig said with a smile. Craig stopped at a flower shop, "Yeah eth is going to love these",Craig said smelling the flowers. Craig bought the flowers and headed off to his car. Craig drove soon to find out that the shortcut to the cafe was undergoing maintance,

"Ahh man now I got to take the long way", Craig turned around and soon found himself in the way of a speeding car. The speeding car went head-on into craig's car.

Craig didn't know what hit him all he remembers is a car and a huge impact, Craig was now disoriented from the impact he could barely hear and see, his vision hazzy and he couldn't move, he was sure his spine was broke. All Craig could hear were people screaming and calling for help,Craig didn't know what was happening, he then heard the ambulance and sirens and all he could think was how was this happening to him and why, then Craig's mind went blank and he lost conciseness.

Blending In

(Author's note: I edited this best to my knowledge of writing)

Craig woke up seeing a bright blue sky with a few clouds. "Ow my hea-"Craig hesitated, "Wh-where am I". Craig said looking around seeing tree's and grass, "Wasn't I in my car?. What's going on?". Craig stood up but something seemed..off, "What the...are these..hoof's and a coat...it's brown". Craig looked up to discover his hair was more spiky then he normally had it, he also felt something on his back, This freaked out craig the most, he had wing's. "Now that seem's weird why would I have wing's...unless no it can't be, am I In Equestria or Ponyville?" Craig said felling confused of the whole situation. "I should probably use another name hmm let's see". "Omelet Sky..No...Sky Fly...No...Comet star....Yes Comet star shall be my new name". Craig said feeling happy.

As Craig or Comet star began walking It didn't take much till he was stumbling all over the place but soon got the hang of walking on all four's. He also tried spreading his wing's in and out to get the feel for them. "Flapping doesn't seem to be too hard but still takes energy" Comet star said while flapping slowly, after a while Comet star was soon acknowledged by a purple unicorn,

"Hello there". The purple unicorn hesited, "Hey are you new, I dont don't think I've seen a Pegasus like you around ponyville". "Um I... Uh". Comet was inturupted,

"no matter my name is Twilight Sparkle, what's your's?".

"My..my name is Comet...Comet Star" Comet said looking a bit dazed. "Nice to meet you Comet Star" Twlight said,

"Nice to meet you too Twilight". Craig said smiling.

As Twilight and Comet walked all that was on Comets mind was how this happened, him being a pony and meeting Twilight, "You okay?" Twilight asked Comet.

"Yeah I'm fine just a little dizzy".

"Well my house is close, why don't you rest there". Twilight said, "That would be nice, thank you". Comet said. They walked for about 5 minute's till reaching Twilight's house, But they were greeted by some other ponies on their way to Twi's. "Well here we are, make yourself at home". Twilight said holding the door with magic to let Comet In.

"Spike". Twilight yelled, A green dragon with a purple belly came walking down the stair's. "Yes Twi?" Spike asked, "Spike I would like you to meet Comet star". Twilight said introducing Comet.

Spike looked at the brown coated and red maned Pegasus, "Hello there welcome...are you new to ponyville?" Spke asked,

"Yes very much so, you could say I'm not from around here". Comet said,

"Well where are you from?" Spike asked again, Comet heisted " Um". Comet thought for a second then answerd, "I'm from Marizona". Comet said, "Hmm I'm not sure where that is, well anyway nice meeting you". Spike said shaking his hoof and leaving.

After Comet took a quick nap in twilight's bed he heard a knock on the door, As Twilight opened the door Comet was peeking around the stair's to see who it was. It was Rainbow Dash, "Hello Rainbow what are you doing here?" Twilight asked,

"I wanted to ask you If I can borrow the first book of The Adventures of Daring Do". Rainbow replied. "Okay". Twilight levitated the book over to Rainbow, "Here you go".

"thanks Twili-". Rainbow hesisted. "Uh Twi who's that?" Rainbow said asked,

"That's Comet Star, he's new to Ponyville". Twilight said.

Comet walked down the stairs, "H-hello". Comet said shyly,

"Hey there I'm Rainbow dash but most people call me Rainbow, so your new to Ponyville?".

"Y-yes..I am". Comet said, Rainbow examined Comet noticing he has wing's, "Do you have a place to crash?" Rainbow asked, "Nope", Comet said, "Well do you want to crash at my place in Cloudsdale?" Rainbow asked again,

"Sure!,But there's one problem". Comet said, "Problem?". "I-I don't really know how to use my wing's". Comet said feeling embarrase, "A Pegasus that can't fly, That's unusual". Rainbow said looking at Comet weird,

"I, umm hit my head and kinda forgot how to fly". "Well we can fix that, through Rainbow Dash's Training course". Rainbow said taking Comet out of Twilight's house and flying to the park.

The park was as ordinary as any other park there was a couple bench's alot of tree's and of course ponies playing and running around. "Okay now step 1: Try flapping your wing's up and down".

"Okay". Comet at his suprise flapped his wing's up and down without almost no effort, "Good now step 2: Try jumping and at the same time flap your wing's".

"I'll try". Comet tried a couple times till he finaly jumped and was now hovering above the ground,

"There you see nothing to hard now fly with me to Cloudsdale and Ill show you my house". Rainbow said flying upward to the Cloudsdale, As Comet followed Rainbow Dash he noticed that there wasn't just houses in Cloudsdale but a giant factory with Rainbow's,

"Wow that's an amazing sight, wonder how they make the rainbows". Rainbow finally stopped at a door step of her house. "Here we are home sweet home".

As Rainbow opened the door to her house Comet noticed that everything was made up of clouds, Comet walked in the house and he noticed that he wasn't falling off the cloud, "Hey Rainbow Dash how are we not falling through the cloud?" Comet asked,

"Well I'm not too sure how I guess It's because we're Pegasus". Rainbow answerd. Comet took another glance around the house, the living room was pretty much the same as any other living room. There was a couch, a cloud table and some trophy's displayed on the shelves.

Comet and Ranbow Dash went to the next room was a hallway with two rooms, One was Rainbow Dash's room and the other was a spare room. "You can have this room, It's a spare, my room Is just a couple step's away".

"Thanks Rainbow". Comet said walking Inside the room, Comet got on the bed made out of clouds, "Wow this is soft and firm, better than my my mattress". Comet said talking to himself.

"So what do Pegasus do to pass the time and how would I get a job?" Comet asked,

"Well I usually practice my stunt's but when im working I keep the sky clear if scheduled and make other's make it rain, I can get you a job on my weather team If you want". Rainbow Dash replied.

As Rainbow Dash and Comet Star were leaving the house dash noticed that Comets cutie mark is a blue telescope pointed at a comet, "Hey Comet".

"Yeah?".

"What's your special talent?" Rainbow Dash asked,

"Pardon?". "Your cutie mark". Comet looked at his flank and noticed a blue telescope pointedf at a Comet. "Oh right I study star's, planet's, the moon, and Comets". Comet said. "Oh so you're a astrologist pony?" Rainbow asked,

"Correct". Comet replied, "I'll see If i can get you a job working the Observatory behind the rainbow factory, no one really care's about the observatory, there is only a couple Pegasus that work there, i'll see If I can get you a job". Rainbow said flying off somewhere, leaving Comet by himself.

As Comet flew down from Cloudsdale Comets stomach growled,

"I know I know I'll get some food soon, wonder what they have here to eat?" Comet asked himself. He landed on the ground
and went to find Twilight. "Hey, Twilight". Comet said seeing her walking ,

"Huh, Oh hey Comet whatcha need?". Twilight asked,

"Where a restaraunt I am starving". Comet said as his stomach growled. "Oh right follow me". Twilight said gesturing him to follow her. They both walked past a few houses till they found Twilight's favorite place to eat.

Comet sat down near a table,

"This place has the best daisy sandwich's In Ponyville". Twilight said,

"Daisy sandwich's?" Comet thought to himself, Without warning the waiter pony asked what they wanted, "What would you two be having in this fine evening". The waiter asked with a calm and smooth voice.

"Yes, we would like two daisy sandwich's please". Twilight answerd, "Certainly". The waiter pony said walking away from the table. "Wait I didn't order". Comet said trying to get the waiter's attention,

"I ordered for us you took too long". Twilight said, "Oh, okay". Comet feeling embarrassed.

The waiter pony came back ten minutes later with the sandwich's, He put the tray on the table using his magic,

"Will that be all?" Asked the waiter pony,

"Yes thank you kindly". Twilight said lifting the sanwich from the tray, Comet pulled the tray closer to him so he can reach the sandwich, "Umm, How am I suppose to hold this?". Comet asked,

"Just eat it off the tray". Twilight said with some food In her mouth. Comet did just that, he thought the sandwich would taste horrible due to it being only daisy's on bread but It tasted great. "That hit the spot thanks Twilight". Comet said relaxing, "Your welcome and I noticed something about you".

"What would that be?" Comet asked, "Oh nothing I'll tell you later". Twilight said. Comet got confused on what she meant but that didn't change the fact that he was happy and full.

Twilight paid the bill and they started walking, "Man I didn't think daisy's would taste so good, It might be because of my new taste bud's". Comet thought out loud.

"Wha-"Twilight stopped, "What?" Comet asked stopping. "Havn't you ever had daisy's before?" Twilight said, "Well not exactly". Comet said felling scared that she knew he wasn't from Equestria,

"Don't they have them where you're from?" Twilight asked again, Just then Rainbow Dash flew threw the air and landed between Twi and Comet, "Guess who got you a job at the Pegasus Observatory, this mare right here". Rainbow dash said.

Comet had been working In the Observatory for about 3 weeks now, but he couldn't shake the feeling that Twilight might find out that he's a human. Comet just kept working.

"Spike I'm telling you he's not from here". Twilight said pacing back and forth,

"So he's not from Ponyville what's the big deal?". "No, I'm not talking about ponyville I mean Equestria".. "What makes you so sure he's not form here".

"Well at lunch he said he never had a daisy sandwich before". "And..."Spike said rolling his eye's, "That means he could be form another dimension". Twilight said looking paniced.

Twilight spent the next few week studying Comets behavior, She noticed 3 things about Comet that he couldn't pick anything up with his hoof's and used his mouth instead She also noticed that he only ate daisy sandwich's, The next thing she found surprising was that he had some difficulties using his wings, but still flew. Twilight knew he was different and was going to confront him about It...but not today.

Comet was in his cloud bed sleeping when he woke up panting and frightened,

"Wha-what was that about". Comet had a dream, he was in his car when he tried turning around when a car ran straight into him, He dreamnt of his accident, he wondered how he was here and why. The rest of the night he thought of all the things that could pin point why he was in Equestria, he couldn't think of a reason.

After that night he had these dreams for several weeks and he was thinking he was going mad, he had to tell someone he knew, someone he could trust, he thought and thought names kept pooping In his mind like Lyra, Bon Bon and even Rainbow dash but then he knew, he would tell Twilight about his dreams and why he was here, he would finally be able to tell some(pony)body that he was not from this place.

Comet was nervious to tell Twilight about the whole I'm really a human thing, Comet walked out the front door made of cloud and floated down to the ground, the walk to Twilight's house felt like an eternity but soon found himself at the doorstep of the library. He was about to knock when suddenly the door opened and came a fast walking Twilight almost running into him,

"Hey". Comet said, "Hey". Said twilight. "We need to talk" They both said together.
"You first" Twilight said, Comet took a deep breathe and finally he said It, "I'm a human".

Twilight was shocked to hear what Comet said,
"A-a human?" Asked twilight, "Yes I'm literally not from here I believe I'm from a different dimension, and I've been having these DREAMS". Comet said, "What kind of dreams?" Asked Twilight,

"Well sit down I'll tell you the whole story or as much as I remember". Comet said. Comet gave a whole speech of his dreams and how he got into an accident and he doesn't know why he's here or how.

Comet finshed his speech and waited for Twilight to answer,
"Why didn't you tell anypony this". Twilight asked, "Well I was confused and alone and so I thought that I could try to blend In till I sorted this out but I couldn't so I kept It a secret". Comet felt ashamed to keep this a secret, "So what do you want to do". Twilight said as Comet looked at her confused,

"What do you mean?". "I'm saying do you want to go home or stay?". Twilight asked,
"I don't know". Comet said. "Well there is only one thing to do".. What's that". Asked Comet.

"I'm going to cast a truth spell, this will make you say what your heart desires most".

Twilight casted the spell on Comet and his eye's went cross-eyed and then he spoke what his heart desired, "I want to go home". Comet said while snapping out of the trance, "There you see you want to go home". Twilight said,

"It doesn't matter, I can't get back home I'm stuck here with no way how to get to my dimension", Comet said lowering his head.
"We'll think of something". Twilight said in a re-eshering voice, "Maybe". Comet said.

Comet left the house to leave Twilight to help him get back home,

"Well I'm off to work". Comet flew to the observatory. Twilight looked through her books with some help from spike of course but they couldn't find anything about traveling to other dimensions,

"Spike this doesn't make sense how did Comet get here". Twilight said tossing the last of the books across the room, "I think your overlooking this a bit Twi". Spike said grabbing books and putting them back on the shelf. "What do you mean". Twilight looked at spike.

"Why don't you and Comet go to princess Celestia?" Spike asked putting the last book in place. "Spike your brilliant". Twilight said levitating spike up and hugging him.

After Comet's shift at the observatory was ended he went to go see Twilight and see what she found out, Comet landed right next to library and knocked on the door, "Come In". Comet went In the house.

"So did you find any-". Comet was interupted by Twilight, "Were going to the Canterlot palace". Twilight said pushing Comet out of the house, Twilight closed the door,

"How are we going to get there". Comet asked. "Simple we take the train". Twilight said walking away from the house.

Twilight and Comet walked to the train station, the next stop was to fillydelphia.
"Darn It we're gonna have to wait another hour for the train to come back". Twilight said walking to a ench and sitting. an hour went by for what seemed forever but they both got In the train and was heading out to Canterlot. "So this Canterlot place, how Is It". Comet asked looking through a window,

"Well It's basically a large palace/residential where the princess lives and she will help us get you home". "Oh I get it". Comet said.

After a while of looking out the window and walking around inside the train they were finally at the Canterlot train station, they got off the bus, Comet walked off slowly nervous of what will happen when they send him home, he wondered will It hurt, am I gonna be okay, his mind pondered but kept walking. He followed Twilight, there we so many sophisticated ponies but It didn't matter he was on a mission to go home. They stopped at the palace door, "Halt Identify yourself". The guard pony said with a strong voice,

"He's okay guy's he's with me". Twilight said to the guards, "Alright go on ahead". The guard opened the door and there they walked into a long hallway that had windows but the windows had glass pictures of the mane six and thier achiements against evil.

Once again they were stopped by guards but didn't say anything, they noticed In Twilights eye's she needed to get to the princess, they let them In.

"Oh, hello Twilight, what brings you and your new freind here?" Celestia asked, "Celestia we your help". Twilight said bowing her head down, "Why what happened". Celestia asked again, "we need you to help Comet here to get home, Do you know how?". What ever do you mean?".

"You see princess Comet Is from another dimension, he's a race called human". Twilight answerd. "Humans, hmm strange, I'll see what I can do". Celestia said.

Celestia thought for a second and then had an Idea,

"You said he's from another dimension,correct?".
"Yes, princess". Twilight answered, "Comet go please come here for a second". Celestia said,

"Okay". Comet went up the stair's to were Celestia was. "Now stay still and think of where you want to go In this case to your dimension, okay?".

"Okay". Comet said. Celestia bowed her head and put her horn on Comets head, His eye's started to glow pure white, Celestia bowed her head back up and a gust of wind surrounded Comet and the gust became smaller and smaller until...he vanished.

"What did you do?" Wondered Twilight, "I merely took him back to his dimension by using a very secret spell that only I know". Celestia said, "What's the spell called and can I learn It". Twiligth said running up to her". "In time but for now I cannot tell you for your not ready for It". Celestia said, "Okay, well I'll be seeing you princess, bye", Twilight said walking out of the room, "Bye". Celestia said.

Twilight got back to the library and was hit by an out of control Rainbow dash, "Hey, Twilight". Rainbow looked around, "Were's Comet?" Rainbow asked, "He, umm went back home". Twilight said getting to her hooves, "Oh okay I'll go tell his boss he went back home, See ya Twi" Rainbow dash flew off before Twilight could say anything. Twilight went In the library and went to go take a nap.

Craig woke up panting and looked around,

"Why am I In a hospital?" Craig asked himself, A nurse saw him and immediatly called the doctor, The doctor came running In Craig's room, "Umm excuse me". Craig was interpted by the doctor,

"How are you feeling Craig?" The doctor asked, "I feel fine just a headache, where's Neil?" Craig asked, "At home, but you, you were In a coma for a week".

"What?, No I wasn't, I was In another dimension for a year". Craig said In a soft but angry voice.
"Sir you were In a car crash we found you In the car we brought you here as fast as we could, The other person though died".

"What?" Craig settled down on his bed almost crying out In tear's, "call Neil now doctor,
"Right away" the doctor said leaving his room and walking to a phone.

When Neil heard the news that Craig was awake he got to the hospital as fast as he could, Neil spotted Craig standing and getting dressed,

"Craig!, your alive". Neil said hugging said as he cried,
"Neil, I'm fine the doctor said I can leave today If I want, can you drive me home".

"Oh course". Neil said wiping his tear's away. Craig signed out of the hospital and left the hospital. when they got home he told Neil that he went to another dimension but Neil didn't believe him, Beth was sitting on the couch and instantly ran to him hugging and crying on Craig,

"I'm fine". Craig said.
"Everyone I need to tell you a true story of what I went through". Everyone sat down on the couch and Craig explained everything to what he witness and went through. They didn't believe him, they thought he was crazy and told him to go take a nap.

It was midnight when he came home even though nobody believed him Craig knew he was In ponyville, In Equestria and he would never forget it. Although he did have a strange craving for Daisy sandwich's. In the morning he lived his life as anyother person did he got up, went to work, got home, oh and ate daisy sandwich's In front of Neil. Which he thought was strange but he just happy he was back and healthy again.

The End.
