Prologue: Where is me?

I woke up in a void. It was calm... WHERE AM I?! I was supposed to be sleeping in bed at my house!
"Hello?!", I shouted hoping for a response or waking up.

"Do not panic.", a disembodied voice said from somewhere. It sounds familiar... wait. That's my voice!

"Why do you sound like me?", I asked.

"That is because I am you, you idiot." Yup that's me.

"Why am I here? or why are you here?"

"I am from a dimension higher than yours and I was seeing you. I decided to clone you and take you here."

"So am I the original or the clone?"

"More like copy paste."

"Oh. Wait a second. How do I know that you are me and not some rando?"

"You know 3 languages. Hindi being your first. You wrote fanfiction. You like cheese and memes."

"Okay, that is me. So, what we gonna do?", I asked.

"Not us, only you. You are going to Equestria."

"Cool and good.", I said, "So, do I go as human or something else?"

"You are going to equestria as a pony not as a changeling. Don't try to use puppy eyes on me, I know that we can't do it properly."

"Damn it. Can we go to character customization now?"

"Yes."

It has been like ten minutes and my character is ready. He is a light grey unicorn with black mane ,black eyes and black hoofs. His cutie mark is a bronze gear. I gave him a grey colo(u)red magical aura and mana power of 420. Celestia's mana power is like 1000. Luna's is 990. Cadance's is 860. Twilight's is 301.
I did it for the memes that I will never be able to see.
"Hey.". I called.

"What?", other me responded.

"Tell me a few things about the Equestria I'm being sent to."

"There is a 7th element like thing. It is not a part of the elements of harmony though so you don't have to worry about that stuff."

"What can I say for my cover story?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"Like if someone asks where I am from or why do I use someone instead of somepony?"

"Wait let me pull up a world map."

A world map appeared. It wasn't of Earth, it was of Eques. Well it was basically discount Earth. Equestria is North America. Africa is called Zebrica, Asia is called Farasi, Europe is Europe, Australia is called Australia and south America is South Amareica. I look at the map more closely and notice that some countries are either horse puns or normal. Afghaneighstan is a horse pun, Ireland is normal. I want to pick Russia but I don't know the language or history.
"How the hell am I supposed to pick?", I asked.

"Don't worry about the history part. It is basically Earth history but different names for countries and different species. Like the Balkans, they are populated by minotaurs. You know how to speak English which is called Equestrian here, French which is still called French which is dumb because France is called Prance and Hindi which is Hindi. So you can pick from France, Belgium, U.K. or India."
I silently consider my options. I don't know enough French to pose as some French or Belgian dude. I don't know much of U.K. history except for the fact that they had 2 civil wars. I also don't like U.K. that much. I know how to speak hindi and know Indian history because I am Indian. What about the national register?

I was about to voice my concern but other me stopped me by saying, "If you are thinking about the national register or passports or any type of identification then forget it. Most countries on the planet don't have those yet."

"That is retarded but I won't complain. I pick India."

"Okay. Now your loadout. No not guns. It is the clothes and things you can go to equestria with. No phones, they aren't invented yet."

"Damn it again. I want to be sent with... an adidas tracksuit, a black fedora, some money, a short sword and... uhh. I have a new question. Can I have some book that I can use to learn all types of magic up to a mediocre level."

"You can have all of those except the short sword. I'll give you a knife instead. About the book... You can't perform all types of magic. I'll just list the ones you can do. They are normal unicorn magic, elemental magic, dark magic, illusion magic, shadowmancy and 'summon dead guys' magic. I'll allow all of it but if you become one of those villains with stupid plans to take over the world or something, I swear I will give you an ass whooping.", other me ended with a threat.

"Understandable. Can you put me in the pony body now?", I asked a bit excited. Suddenly I found myself in a different body. Other me had put me into the pony body without announcing it and guess what's the first thing I did. I stumbled on my hooves and fell down. I noticed that I was wearing the adidas track suit pony version, the black fedora and a saddle bag which probably contained my other things.

"You could have warned me.", I aid a bit annoyed as I heard other me snickering.

"Sorry, but I couldn't resist. Look at you! So cute!", other me said as his voice now came from my old body. The old me walked up to the new me and helped me to stand up. I was reaching till my old body's waist.
"Practice time.", he said as a smile appeared on his face.

I am tired and lying down and being scratched behind my ears by other me in old me. I definitely wasn't enjoying it. If anyone says otherwise, they are spreading lies. Practice time ended like 5 minutes ago. If you asked 'What did you do in practice time that got you so tired?', I'll tell you. First other me helped me get used to walking around, then told me to start running. I didn't understand until he pulled out a chainsaw from nowhere and started chasing me. After the chase, other me made me sit down and learn how to control my magic for a test. When I said I was done studying he started pelting me with tennis balls. I thank whatever divine being that is there that I was able to learn the unicorn magic stuff quickly and avoid a painful experience. I still have to practice the other magics to become the greatest mage to have ever lived.

"You look like you're enjoying this.", other me commented.

"Noooo... I'm not.", I said as I definitely was not enjoying ear scratches as a pony.

"Sure whatever. Just need to tell you that it is time to be teleported to equestria"

"Understandable.", I said as a puddle of swirling colo(u)rs appeared. Without a warning other me pushed me into it and the colo(u)rs filled my vision. Soon it all became white.

Author's Note

I have been copy pasted and then changed to fit equetrian standards. Please write feedback

0-1: Who is you?

Can the white stop now. It is hurting my eyes... wait... my old body has my glasses but my new body does not and I never mentioned if I want the eyes to have 20/20 vision. Guess I'll have to wait and watch.

Hey look the white is fading and I'm in... I need my glasses. Something falls onto my head. I use my magic to pick it up and get it close to my face. It's my glasses and a note with it. I put on my glasses and read the note aloud.

"Idiot, you forgot your glasses. Also if you can't figure something out because of your idiotic-ness, just call out to me.
-sincerely, other you"

Nothing too important. I'll look around to see where I am. I'm the room in the castle of two sisters that has the elements of harmony. The spheres are still there along with another cracked sphere on the ground. The sun is still up. So this is probably before Nightmare Moon but how long? Meh, probably just before the summer sun celebration.

I walk towards the sphere on the ground. It doesn't seem to have any marking- wait, there is a black colo(u)red 'E' on it. There isn't anything to do. I'll just go to the library for some books on magic.

It's been about four hours and I have read the book other me gave to me. I even practiced the magic. I've learnt a lot of the normal unicorn magic from the book and some others that were lying around. From the elemental magic, I have only learned how to control ground like in avatar minus all the moves they did to use the power. Right now wind is the hardest.
Illusion magic was relatively easy but I only learnt how to create a few low level illusions and that's when that section ended.
Shadowmancy was weird but cool. I was able to use shadows as portals to get move around and create actual tetris blocks as big as me but nothing else yet. I still have not touched dark magic and 'summon dead guys' magic.

I close the book and levitate it into my saddle bag and get off the chair I found in the library. I walk to the throne room just in time to see Nightmare Moon's escape from the moon. There is the blue smoke and now it's Nightmare Moon. She is slowly moving her head like surveillance camera to look around the room. Her eyes stop at me. We stare at each other for like 30 seconds before I break the silence with a, "Hi."

"Do you not know who I am?", she asks clearly offended that I didn't run away screaming at her sight.

"You are Nightmare Moon. You want to create eternal night over Equestria so that the normies can appreciate it.", I said without missing a beat.

"So you do know who I am... Who are you?", she said. I came up with the name 'lonely gear' for myself. It fits nicely as my cutie mark is a bronze gear and I am lonely.

"I am Lonely Gear. I like scaring normies.", I introduce myself with a smile.

"What does 'normies' refer to?", she asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"A normie is a pony or creature gravitating to social standards, accepted practices, and fads of their own time & geographic grouping without broader cultural perspectives from which they draw, basically an ideal equestrian. In short, an idiot.", I said.

"What make you any different from the average pony then?"

"I believe that the night is more beautiful than the day an-", I was cut off as something hit me. Oh, hello darkness, my old friend.

Ow... My head hurts. Anyone caught that train's number plate? I open my eyes and look around. I'm lying on my side, my head hurts, everything is blurry and I can't feel my glasses, Princess Celestia , the elements and two blue blurs are having a heated argument, my head is in Spain without the s, Rainbow Dash has my saddle bag and none of them have noticed that I am conscious. The argument is about who is wrong and who is right. I get up and look around for my glasses. I find them lying a short distance from me but that is not a problem. The problem is that they are broken beyond repair.

Something hit my head again and the pain has been increased a lot and now I'm angry. I look around to find out who hit me and see Rainbow Dash but can't tell if she is angry because of my lack of glasses.

She noticed me and decided to insult me with a, "Wait. You can see without your glasses?"

I pause for a second to think of a good insult.
I then say in a professional tone, "Unfortunately, yes, I can see the rainbow colo(u)red, piece of shit, disappointment that two very unlucky parents were cursed with."

The result is me getting hit in my face that must have broken my nose and being thrown a few meters away but at least I have the satisfaction of roasting her. I rub my nose with a hoof to wipe away some liquid. My hoof is now red with blood. Im punched again and thrown to the floor. I almost pass out but then a flashback of my 1st grade teacher calling me strong fills me with energy and I get back up. I look around and spot The rainbow shit charging at me again. I focus my magic and catch her in a levitation spell. I'm pissed off as my head is already paining a lot and using magic is making it worse not to mention the pegaus trying to free herself. The pain can't get any worse now.

"STOP FIGHTING!", said Celestia in her royal canterlot voice, making me lose my magical grip on Rainbow and proving me wrong about the pain. I turn around and see her blurry figure approaching me. She stops in front of me.
"You will stop hurting my ponies. Is that clear?", she says firmly. I look at her incredulously and then I frown. I breathe in and out through my mouth a few time before looking her in her eyes and asking, "क्या आप अंधी हो ?(Are you blind?)"

She looks at me with a confused expression then asks, "What?"

"क्या आपको मेरी नाक से बहता हुआ खून नहीं दिख रहा है?(Do you not see the blood flowing from my nose?)", I ask. I wanted to insult her so much but I didn't. She had lived for a thousand years after all.

"Speak equestrian, not some gibberish, you freak.", Rainbow Dash said to me. I slowly turn my head around to look at her.

"त् कया करॆगी अगर मैं अंग्रॆज़ी मॆ बात नही करुगा ?(What will you do if I don't speak in english?)", I say to her as I fix my nose bleed with a basic heal spell. I spot my bag on the ground and levitated it to me. I open it and see if everything is still there. My fedora is stuffed in the bag and the book is missing.
I look at Celestia and say, "Someone has taken my spell book and I would appreciate it if they returned it to me."

"I would have your book returned but because you were in league with a villain, which makes you a criminal, I can't."

"What evidence do you have that I was in league with a villain?"

"Rainbow Dash had heard you call Equestrian ponies inferior and agreed to help her with her plans.", she said in a cold voice.

"Were there were more witnesses who heard me say that 'Equestrian ponies are inferior'?", I asked with a nagging feeling that this will go bad.

"No, there weren't any.", she answered.

"So you just have her word. Well here is my side of the events. I and Nightmare Moon just agreed on the fact that the night was more beautiful than the day but not on her plan of creating eternal night.", I said.

"So there were no witnesses for your side of events either?", she asks. I nodded in conformation.

"Since there is no evidence to back up either of your claims, you are not a criminal.", she declares.

"But...". she continues.

Author's Note

dang. Murphy's law.
give feedback

0-2: Why is you so cringe?

Murphy's law basically says that if something can go wrong, it will go wrong. This has been proven many times, just like right now. Celestia just added a but to make my life worse. Let's continue from here we left off.

"But because Rainbow Dash is a bearer of the element of harmony, I am inclined to believe her.", she declares. I have to decided to insult the elements because of Rainbow Dash.
I narrowed my eyes and say, "What is this bearer of the elements of harmony? Some type of title that the very rare nobles that aren't inbred get?"

"Hey! Show us some respect, we just stopped Nightmare Moon from covering the world in eternal night!", Rainbow says as she gets in my face.

"What do you think would happen if she successfully created eternal night?", I ask feeling annoyed.

"Are you dumb? If she created eternal night then everyone will like the night and not the day.", she ends with stomping her hoof.

"Nothing else?", I ask, suddenly not annoyed and instead hoping she isn't dumb.

"Nope. That is the worst that could happen but we stopped you.", she says with a smug look. I take a deep breath trying to get over the fact that I'm no longer the dumbest in the room.

"First of all, you are wrong you disappointingly dumb bitch. If you force someone to like something, they will hate it. Second, that is not worst that could happen. The sun provides us with light and warmth. Without it's warmth it will become very cold very fast, meaning you will freeze to death. Without the light plants can't grow and we won't be able to see where we are going. Everyone will fight for the remaining food and shelter and eventually die. No one will survive." ,I explain in an aggressive tone.

She turns around to face Celestia and asks, "He is lying, right?"

"No, he isn't. He is very much correct about what will happen.", she answers her.

"I was going to explain to Nightmare Moon why her plan is dumb and she is the god of idiots but you came and your non-existent brain labeled me as a threat, after which you knocked me out and broke my glasses. If I could, I would take action against you but Princess values the nobility more than us commoners.", I vent.

"No that isn't true!", Twilight shouts at me, clearly angry about me calling Celestia out.

"Oh really. A minute ago the 'just and fair' Princess Celestia was believing the element bearer and not me because I'm not as important."

"Silence!", Celestia shouts making us all silent except me because I grip my head as her shouting is making my already paining head, pain even more.

"I apologize for my hasty judgement and I would like you to apologize to Rainbow Dash for calling h-.", she stop as she looks at me holding my head in obvious pain. "Are you fine, my little pony?", she asks.

"Yeah, I'm totally fine. It's not like someone hit me twice, smashed my glasses, stole my book, broke my nose and then shouted in my ears.", I reply with infinite sarcasm.

"You sure are pretty blunt.", farm girl said.

"I know.", I replied. Suddenly everything stopped moving and went greyscale. I was the only one able to move. Other me just dropped from a light in the ceiling like Mr. Bean.

"Hey, pony me, I finally finished creating real documents for you.", he informed me.

"What do you mean by that. I thought that wasn't important." , I said.

"I lied to not make you think too much. You are 22 years old now. Here is your identity card.", he said as he handed me a card. It had information like my birthdate, nationality, picture, etc. I still had a question though.

"What about passports or my parent's identities?"

"Let me explain. So, this whole identity system has existed for only 5 years till now in your country and only those who travel abroad get it. I didn't create your parent's identities because they aren't abroad. About passports... You don't need one. There had been an international agreement to have free travel between some countries and Equestria is a part of it. If they ask you about why are you here instead of some town, just say ancient instincts guided me or teleport. I also lied about history. I'll just implant the important bits in your head. I have to go now. Bye.", he explained and then disappeared into thin air.

The world was still grey though. I put the identity card in a pocket of my tracksuit and got back into my original position and the world was no longer grey.

"I still don't understand why were you here?", Celestia said.

"I teleported here using ancient instincts to guide me, so that I could see if the Nightmare Moon legend is real or not.", I lied.

"Is your ancient instincts like my pinkie sense?", pink blur.

"Maybe", I reply.

"Uh... Mr. Lonely Gear, I just wanted to tell you that your outfit is uhhh", Rarity says. I can already predict what she is going to say. She takes in a breath and shouts, " Your outfit is Terrible! How could you be wearing something so hideous?!"

"At least I look relevant...", l mutter under my breath as she continues ranting. I levitate my glasses' remains to me to see if I could salvage it. I inspect it and find that the right eye lens is cracked but not broken. I note that I can still see through it as I brought it to my eye to test it. I'll just let it hover in front of my eye.

"Your coming with me to the boutique right now!", Rarity said as she started approaching me.

"Ancient instincts shall aid me in my escape. Au revoir femme folle! (Goodbye crazy woman!)", I shout as I teleport in some random direction.

Author's Note

This was late because of-
1)My mouse ran out of batteries and I didn't want to go to store to get new ones.
2)I found my Tanki Online account and password.

Am I sorry for this?
Maybe.
Give feed back please. I feel like I'm rushing this.

0-3: rock parasite

I was back at the castle in the exact same spot. Everyone is staring at me.

"Bruh. Why am I still here?", I ask to no one in particular.

"You are now a host.", said a deep voice from the door. All of us turn to look at who said that. It was the rock sphere with 'E' on it. I'll call it E-ball.

"Another element of harmony?", Twilight said with shock.

"If you call me an element of harmony, I will turn you into a pebble and throw you into the ocean, Do you understand, Twilight Sparkle?", the sphere said angrily as the cracks on it slowly became bigger.

"How do you know my name?!", Twilight asked with confusion and a bit of anger.

"I know all of your names. You are Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity.", E-ball said as he looked at them with the E acting as an eye. "You are the ruler of Equestria and the overrated day, Princess Sunbut- Celestia.", E-ball said as he looked at her. "You are the two other rulers of Equestria. Princess Luna and Nightmare Moon."

He looked at me now, "You are the chosen one, Lonely Gear." The cracks on his form were huge and it looked like he would break apart any moment.

"Chosen for what?", Princess Celestia asked.

"For ligma." My attention was instantly captured and I focused on Celestia falling into the trap.

"What's ligma?", she said making a mistake.

"Ligma Balls.", he said as he exploded in a flash of light. I closed my eyes to not make my headache worse and snickered at Celestia's mistake. The light faded and there was a... plain black watch floating where E-ball once was. Twilight immediately grabbed it in her magic to study it. She got a rather nasty shock when the watch summoned lightning to beat her. It started floating to me. I could see the princess' and nightmare's shocked faces as it wrapped itself around my left foreleg. While I appreciated black colo(u)r, this is too much.

'My headache is getting better.', I thought.
'No need to thank me.', Another voice said in my mind. My eyes widen and I try to look around to find out who did that.
'I'm the watch that you're wearing, Dumbass.', the voice said. I focused on the watch. It's face was black and the hand and numbers were white.
'Aight Imma introduce myself like a gentle man.'

"Hello, my name is Arnold and I'm one of the three elements of disharmony. I'm currently in the form of a watch.", Arnold said nonchalantly.

"If you are shocked because of my existence, it is not my problem.", he added.

'Was that a pun?', I asked mentally.
'Yesn't', he replied mentally.

"How was I chosen? Like what criteria did I fall in?", I asked because I was still a bit confused about why it chose me.

"The elements of disharmony have common criteria and special criteria for themselves. The common criteria is that the bearer must be someone who fits the criteria. You fit the criteria and that is why you are chosen.", the watch said aloud. Everyone else was glaring at me and preparing to beat me up for doing something evil. I observed the scene for a moment and decided to make an evil scheme but first I had to get my book that I forgot.

"Twilight, can you return my book?", I asked politely.

"I would have said no but it is impossible to read the chicken scratch in it.", she said as she levitated the book to me. I frowned a bit as I opened the book to see if it was damaged but it seemed fine. I just needed my glasses to read it without positioning it 6 inches away from my face.

"Any of you know how to fix my glasses?", I said as I picked up the remains with levitation.

"Why should we help you? You are an element of disharmony and a bad guy!", rainbow shouted as she got ready to attack.

"I'm not evil yet because I didn't announce my plan like an idiot. I don't even have an actual, smart plan yet.", I said growing a bit frustrated. I just want my glasses back. A dark blue aura surrounds my glasses and fixes them. I put them on seeing clearly again.

"Thank you Nightmare moon. Your help is greatly appreciated.", I said as I look back at the book.

"But how are you still here?", I asked realizing Nightmare was still alive.

"I have no clue about why I still live.", she says in a low volume. Happy with the answer, I look back at the pages of the book.

"Are you sure you can't read this?", I ask.

"Yes, it is literally impossible.", Twilight answered.

"This is not written in your language and therefore it is chicken scratch? If your answer is yes then get out of my sight.", I say angrily. I forgot to mention that the book was written in Hindi. Twilight calling it chicken scratch nearly triggered me.

"You can read that?! Tell me how!", she shouts as she suddenly is in front of me. Her instant travel makes me jump back in surprise. I immediately think of some prank that I could play on her.

'Before you start evil-ing can you get the other element that is here in the castle?', Arnold asks in my mind. I think for a moment and answer.
'Lead the way.'

Instantly, I felt compelled to get to a different part of the castle. I can't walk there because of the ponies that are opposing me. I just teleport away.

0-4: Book of ugly, not of dragons.

I reappear in a dark library. There are a lot of books on these shelves. I walk towards one of the thousands of book and pull it back. The book activated a secret door to my left. I observed the wall move to reveal a locked metal door. Beyond that there is a staircase leading up to another book. The book looked like it was made of rock and had spikes on it.

'Behold the second element of disharmony. You can call him Stan.', Arnold said.

"Arnold, is that you?", a voice asked. I figured it was the book.

"Yes, it is me. I'm h-"

"GET ME OUT OF THIS HELL-HOLE! THERE IS TOO MUCH DUST!", Stan cut him off. I teleport Stan to myself immediately knowing how much pain he was going through. Dust is a horrible thing.

"Thank you! It feels so good to be clean and away from the dust. How rude of me to not introduce myself! My name is Stan and thank you again for getting me out of there Mr. ... Who are you?"

"I am Lonely Gear and no need to thank me. I know how horrible dust is.", I say thinking about the many times I had breathing problems because of dust. I hear the pop of teleportation behind me. I turn around and see Princess Luna.

"Stop right where you are!", she shouts as she charges up a spell and flares her wings trying to look scary. It took every bit of me to not tell her how cute she looks. If she was her adult version I may have been scared but right now I am not.

"Okay.", I reply. I didn't really want to get in fight with her because she could very easily beat my ass and also because I didn't need any enemies. She looked a bit surprised but accepted it.

She held out her hoof and said, "I shall needeth thee to hoof ov'r the element."

"No. I'll give it to Princess Celestia.", I said. On the outside I was calm, on the inside I was thanking god that she didn't know of the other element I acquired. She looked a bit hurt but nodded and teleported us.

We teleported outside the golden oaks library instead of that room in the castle. I could hear someone talking inside. Being the nice, handsome man/stallion I am, I held the door open for Luna and said, "Ladies first."

She nodded and entered with me following. The scene inside is kinda weird because it is more unexpected than the spanish inquisition. Nightmare moon is sitting there with an anti magic horn ring equipped, the mane 6 are happy to see Luna back but not so happy to see me and Princess Celestia is just standing there and looking at me with a neutral expression, menacingly.

"I am surprised that you came here without trying to hurt my sister. Most villains put up a fight.", Celestia said. I feel insulted.

"If you're trying to call me a freak, stop. I am better than you think I am", I deadpan, "I could have stabbed princess Luna but I didn't and that is because I am a decent pony."

"You can't talk to the princess like that meanie-pants!", Pinkie shouted, obviously not happy about how I am talking to the princess.

"He can talk to the princess, who called him a villain just for bearing an element he knows nothing about, like that.", Stan said before I could. Everyone was immediately trying to find out who talked.

"I'm the book you dummies.", Stan said sounding hurt. Everyone immediately focused on to the book.

"It seems that you have found another element of disharmony.", Nightmare Moon said calmly as she looked at the book I held in my magic.

"Already?!", twilight shouted in disbelief. Everyone but N.M.M. is alarmed.

"You found two of them so easily because you're better at hide and seek than us?!", Pinkie shouts in disbelief, probably over a better hide and seek player than her.

"Maybe.", I answer cryptically. I smile as Pinkie's brain goes boom. Princess Celestia's horn lights up and my brain is suddenly feeling weird.

'She scanned you'
'Thanks Arnold'

Princess Celestia 'hmmm'ed and said, "I will need to take the elements from you. We do not know anything about them and they could cause harm to you and other ponies around you." She then levitated a box from the table in the center of the library in front of me.

"NO! I'm not going in there!", Stan shouts angrily.

"Neither am I.", Arnold adds. Celestia is slightly annoyed and puts the box away.

"I see how it is.", she muttered thinking I can't hear her. Yes, I can hear people mutter but only if they are close enough. I can thank my family members who call me from across the house in a normal voice instead of shouting.

"I have one question after which you can leave. What is the criteria for the bearer of the element of... ", she says befoe realizing she dosen't know what the book represents.

"I am the element of need. Arnold is the element of knowledge. The last one represents strength. I'll explain my criteria in poem", Stan says. "*Ahem* Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the neediest and ugliest of them all?"

Damn, he know how to poetry.

"Thank you. you may leave. I have things to discuss.", she says. I nod and head outside. As soon as I exit the library, the door is closed, violently and I am pretty sure they are discussing what to do about me.

"You can put me in the bag you know.", Stan says quietly to not attract attention from the ponies that are walking around, enjoying the sun. I put Stan in my saddlebag and pull out my fedora and wear it. I have a new objective and that is to find a place to stay.

'Where can I buy a house?', I ask Arnold mentally.
'Go to the town hall or something.'

Where could the town hall be... There. All I have to do is make my way to the tall building. However, it goes through the marketplace, which can be good or bad but what's the worst that could happen?

The gossiping. It's finally over. Anyway, did you guys know that females can spread rumors like hot butter on bread. If not, then now you know. Like seriously, it has not even been an hour since Luna returned and there are already rumors about N.M.M. still alive and still evil and also about the elements of disharmony. Some avoided me because I was new and the only possible candidate for the E.o.D. Some glared at me. Others just weren't friendly to me.

But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I have made it to the town hall. There is a board outside that has some job advertisements and houses for sale. I inspect the board for a job and some cheap house because I only have 2,500 bits according to Stan because he's a simple guy who got bored and decided to count my money.

Aha. There is a job open at Dr. Time Turner's workshop. That means I can tinker with stuff and get paid 390 bits a week. The downside is that I'm going to help him out and not tinker with stuff and have to work from 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 PM i.e. 9 hours for 6 days a week. There is this nice 2 story house with a basement located at the southern edge of the Everfree forest. It is very cheap, only 1,250 bits. That's suspiciously cheap. Very sus.

I'm buying it anyway. I have to talk to mayor for it. I step inside the building and see some construction work going on. The ponies are fixing the destruction caused by N.M.M. I walk to the mayor's office and knock on the door.

"Come in.", I hear. I prepare myself for buying a house for the first time.

He gonna buy a house so please leave constructive criticism.

0-5: house, karen and responsibility.

I am currently walking from the town hall to my new house with the keys and some important house documents. I had a small and quick tour of the house with Mayor Mare. She was acting a bit scared when showing me the sus house. You'll get to know why. The layout is simple.

Only problem is the fact that no one has lived there in years because the house is haunted and because of that no one has cleaned the place in a very long time. The house had some furniture. A L-couch and circle table in front of the fireplace in the living room. A fridge and stove in the kitchen. A bookshelf upstairs. A bed in bedroom 1 and 2 but with no mattresses. The basement and shed outside were empty. Everything in the house was covered in a layer of dust and the windows were dirty as hell. The front and back yards were covered in weeds.

Not acceptable. I had to clean this up and I needed supplies. That's why I'm heading to Barnyard Bargains. The feeling of being followed is not good though. I make a plan. I stop and look behind me. I don't see anyone suspicious. I continue walking through the marketplace. I look towards my left a little bit and can see Rainbow Dash in the corner of my eye. She's stalking me. I walk into the store as if nothing happened and take one of the baskets to carry stuff in. As I walk to the aisle with the cleaning supplies, I hear someone else enter the store. Probably Rainbow Dash.

I take a bottle of window cleaner and a dustpan from there. From the gardening supplies aisle, I take garden shears. I also grab a pan, some kitchen utensils, a packet of bread, a packet of cheese slices, cereal, a carton of milk and a dozen eggs. I didn't get a broom because there is one in the cupboard under the stairs. After checking out, I start walking home without Rainbow Dash following me. Everyone is enjoying the summer sun celebration. I don't remember the episode fully but if I'm not wrong then this is the part where Celestia allows Twilight to stay in ponyville and write her reports.

I won't be there for that because I've got a house to clean.

It's evening and I'm tired as fuck. The house is clean now and the front yard is presentable and not overgrown. I had to go o the furniture shop to get curtains and mattresses and sheets for the beds leaving me with only 650 bits. I have eaten like three cold cheese sandwiches because I just put the food in the fridge. I'm currently resting on the couch, being happy that I have made this place habitable.

*knock knock knock*

Who is in my swamp? I get up to check and they knock again. How impatient are they? I open the door and see Twilight with a notepad and pen accompanying Nightmare Moon. It took me a second to realize it was Nightmare Moon because she looks like a completely different pony without her armo(u)r.

"Can I help you?", I asked remembering my manners.

"I wished to speak to you before my departure for Canterlot for my trial.", she says straightforwardly.

"Come in.", I say as I step back to allow them in. They enter and sit on the couch.

"So, what did you want to speak about?", I ask as I sit down on the other side of the couch.

"The elements of disharmony.", Nightmare says as Twilight opens her notepad to write stuff down. She continued, "Though I know very little about them, I can tell you that right now you are in charge of a very strong power. Unfortunately, anypony can use them unlike the elements if harmony. There are side effects of doing that but they won't stop the pony long after the damage is done."

I nod in understanding as she continues, "You are the only known bearer of the elements, therefore it is your responsibility to keep them out of the wrong hooves."

"What can happen if they get taken by somepony bad?" ,Twilight asks with a tiny bit of fear, of Nightmare Moon or the consequences of some baddie getting the elements, possibly both.

"There are many spells and rituals that require the elements of disharmony. At first, only the element of strength was known of, so most of the rituals won't work with the other elements but a few might. Celestia and Luna had spent a lot of time trying to remove all knowledge of those spells but couldn't get all of them.", she answered.

"Wouldn't it be better if the princesses took the responsibility of keeping them safe?", I ask a valid question.

"No. Firstly, they used to be bearers of the elements of harmony, so having these might have negative effects to them. Secondly, I wouldn't trust them with such great power. They can use these for their own purposes many of whi-"

"WHO ARE YOU TO ACCUSE THE PRINCESSES OF BEING EVIL?!", Twilight shouts, ready to defend the princesses' honor.

Nightmare glared at her before breathing and saying, "A thousand years ago, at the time of Luna's rebellion, thestrals had a population equal to any other pony race. Do you know the reason why you can't see thestrals anywhere today?"

This question caught Twilight off guard, who tried to come up with an answer.

"Mr. Gear, can you answer the question?"

"I have a possible answer. After you were banished to the moon, ponies hated the night and anything associated with it and that included thestrals. They might have been either driven out or killed.", I answer with the theory that I had come up with.

"Correct. Princess Celestia didn't do anything about this. No aid was ever given to the thestrals who survived nor was there any trial for those who had taken part in the massacres and it was all my fault." ,Nightmare says being sad. I can't imagine what she's going through.

"But there are no records of this happening!" If I could, I would glue Twilight's mouth shut.

"Did you know that the government can very easily cover things up? If you think that this never happened then ask the princesses about what happened.", I say. Before Twilight can counter Nightmare says, "It's time to go." She doesn't even wait for Twilight as she leaves. Twilight glares at me then leaves the house as well to catch up with Nightmare, leaving me alone .

I am not feeling hungry so I decided to go to sleep early. I head upstairs to my room(bedroom 1) and look out of the window. The backyard is overgrown and the fence is the only thing keeping the wildlife outside. I close the curtain and lie down on the bed.

I was about to fall asleep but I hear hoofsteps downstairs. I forgot to lock the door. I get out of my bed and head downstairs to remove the intruder but to my surprise, there was no one. I open the door and look outside and see no one. I close the door and lock it and turn around. There is a semi-transparent, white colo(u)red earth pony mare floating in mid-air. It was the ghost and I would have been scared but seeing the Karen haircut just killed the fear and replaced it with surprise and confusion.

"Karen?", I say, completely dumbfounded.

"How do you know my name?", the ghost replies with surprise filling here whispery voice. I am having a conversation with a ghost and have completely thrown logic out of my mind for the time being.

"Your haircut."

"Leave my house!", she shouts putting up a scary display.

"NO, you leave MY house. I brought this place today and I'm NOT leaving it!", I Shout back.

"I have lived here for the last 10 years!"

"YOU ARE A GHOST! YOU CAN'T BE ALIVE!"

"I CAN!"

"You know what? We'll continue this tomorrow. I'm tired and not in the mood to argue.", I say. Karen glares at me before vanishing.

"And don't peek into the bathroom when I'm using it!"

Author's Note

If I encountered a ghost that looked like a Karen, I probably wouldn't be scared.
Give me feedback. I need it to improve my writing. Thumbs down and no comment will not help.

0-6: It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me and I'm feelin' bad.

I woke up to knocking on the door. I get out of face and look at Arnold, who's on the nightstand. 6:50 in the morning. I quickly walk downstairs as they knock again. I open the door and guess what. It's Derpy but I gotta act like I don't know her.

"I've got a letter for you!", she says in a cheerful voice as she takes out a letter from her mailbag.

"Thank you.", I say as I take the letter from her.

"You're new around here?", she asks.

"Yes. I'm Lonely Gear by the way.", I say.

"I'm Ditsy Doo but everyone calls me Derpy! I've got to go now!", she says as she flies away. I close the door and go back to my room upstairs. I open the letter, It's from Nightmare Moon. I read it aloud.

"Mr. Gear,

I am writing this letter to you to warn you about potential theft of the elements. I had heard Princess Celestia talk to her sister about acquiring the elements of disharmony. While I believe that you can keep the two you are in possession of safe, I am concerned about the third one. While I would have liked to help in searching for, I can't. There is a picture of the element in the envelope. I hope you are able to find it before the royal sisters do.

Nightmare Moon."

Inside the envelope there was a picture of the alicorn amulet as well, so I know what it is. I'll probably find it in canterlot. Right now I've got to get ready. Ready for that job.

I lock the door and levitate the keys into my saddlebag and adjust my fedora. I am only wearing the shirt of the tracksuit. I look at Arnold on my foreleg. 7:15 A.M. I'll reach the workshop in time. I had a nagging feeling so I took Stan with me. He is in my bag. I start walking the wooded path to Ponyville.

*Bush rustle*

I look in the direction of the sound but spot nothing. It can't be a timberwolf because I'm too close to ponyville. Probably some rabbit. I continue walking but the feeling of being followed doesn't stop.

*wing flap*

Something has landed on my back. It is a bird, a crow to be exact. I am surprised at how chill this crow is. Most birds just fly away and this one just lands on me. I pick it up in my magic and set it down on the ground. It didn't freak out so that's good. I continue walking and the crow is on my back in 5 seconds. I put it on the ground again and it is on my back again. This repeats another 3 times. This is annoying as fuck.

'Animal cruelty is bad. Just ask Fluttershy about this.', I think to myself so that I avoid violence. I let the crow stay on my back as I started making my way to the nearest neighbo(u)r. Even with the crow on my back, I can't shake the feeling of being watched.

(3rd Person)

A cloaked figure waits for the stallion to leave the area. As soon as it is clear, they run to the stallion's house. As expected, the door is locked. The beige colo(u)red hoof pulled out a lockpick and started their work. Within moments the door was unlocked. The pony entered and immediately got to their task.

Get the elements of disharmony as per princess Celestia's orders. The basement and ground floor(or first floor, IDK what you call the floor on the ground) did not have them. Just like the other floors, there was no sign of the elements being there. They removed the hood of the cloak because it served no purpose and was unnecessarily hot. The pony was revealed to be Bon-Bon but she was Agent Sweetie Drops in reality.

She was annoyed that she had to follow that stallion because he must have taken the elements with him. She left the house and made sure to lock the door and started walking back to the town to find him.

It's going to be a long day.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

"Coming!", Fluttershy says from inside her cottage. You may not realizeit but I'm tired of this crow just using me as a ride. It probably wanted me to drop it off at Fluttershy's house. I'm brought back to the real world as I hear the cottage's door open. Fluttershy opened the door and was surprised to see me. Expected.

"Uh... hi.", she whispered.

"Hello Fluttershy. I need help.", I say as I point to the crow on my back, who's just staring at Fluttershy. "This crow has not left me alone. Is there something you can do about it?" She inspects the crow for a moment.

"Mr. Crow, can you please tell me what you want from Mr. Gear?", she asks the crow who just caws in response. The crow flew onto Fluttershy's back and sat there.

"It was nothing. Mr. Crow just decided that you were nice.", she says with a smile.

"hmmm... Okay, I'm going now. Bye.", I say as I leave Fluttershy with the crow. Time Turner's workshop is close by and it is only 7:32 A.M. I don't have anything to worry about.

'What if the crow is a spy for Celestia.', Arnold says interrupting my thoughts and destroying my good mood.

'So you woke up and decided to alert me with a possibility and ruining my mood.', I think back.

'Yes. I viewed your memories and found out that we are very similar. One of them was ruining someone's mood with a fact or possibility.'

'You went through my memories?'

'Your secret is safe.'

Bon-Bon was following the stallion from a distance. She somehow had to snag the watch he was wearing to acquire the element of Knowledge. Right now, all she could do was observe.

I am walking to the workshop while Arnold is giving me mental notifications on Bon-Bon who's following us. I am thankful that I won't look like a weirdo if I do karate because the equestrian version of shotokan karate is almost a mirror image of human shotokan karate. My purple belt still means something. I still won't last 10 seconds against a special agent with my rusty skills. All I can hope for is that we don't have to fight.

I arrive at the workshop and Bon-Bon goes her own way. Thank god. I open the door and look inside. Lots of clocks and other machines and appliances. All of them look like they need to repair. In the middle of it is Time Turner. He notices me.

"You're here for the job, right?", he asks. I nod in agreement. "Put your saddlebags on that table and come here." I do as he says without speaking. "I will hire you if you can fix this.", he says as he points to a pendulum clock.

It looks fine on the outside but it's probably messed up on the inside. I pick it up in my magic and I know what to do as if it is a 6th sense. I feel around the inside with my magic and make a mental image of the insides. A few of the gears are missing. I levitate the required gears into the clock through the slot for the pendulum. The gears are put in place and the clock is fixed. In the span of 45 seconds, I fixed a clock.

I levitate it to Time Turner and say, "Done." He checks it to see if it works and it is working.

"Good. Looks like you have gotten the job. I'm Dr. Time Turner Whooves and you are?", he say. He should have introduced himself first.

"I'm Lonely Gear.", I answer with a neutral expression.

"Okay. Can you fix electrical appliances?", he asks. Shouldn't he haved asked this before.

"Yes boss." , I answer with a smile because I have made doctor slightly peeved.

"Don't call me boss. Call me doctor, okay?"

"Okay boss"

Author's Note

I demand feedback from you all. Also, congrats if you get the reference.

1-1: This ticket is not for the hype train.

The first day at my job caused me to befriend boss (the Doctor). I don't call him boss outside work because it annoys him to infinity. The workshop was basically a shop, a repair center and Doctor's lab. Doctor had handled the shop while I fixed stuff in the back. Even though I have a magic advantage, I could only fix only a bit over a third of the stuff. Apparently we get stuff to fix from Canterlot because a workshop will ruin the beauty of the city and also because no one wanted to do such work.

Screw them because fixing stuff is satisfying. I won't talk about yesterday or day before yesterday because nothing interesting happened. I finally got a calendar and the dates are the same as 2021 except that the year is 1500 and there is no global pandemic. The summer sun celebration occurs every year on the 20th of June(Sunday) and today is 23rd June(Wednesday, where's the frog?).

Good thing is that all the stuff in the workshop was fixed and sent back to their owners. I must say that these ponies are so clumsy. I'm pretty sure that they were never scolded for dropping a glass of water. Anyway, because I had nothing left to do, boss let me go earlier. I had taken a few small gears and other things to make a music box because the only music boxes are either huge or are just heavily enchanted boxes that can cause health problems due to high magic concentration.

My primary goal was to prove the belief that small music boxes can exist but then...

...the fire nation attacked.

Just kidding, it was Twilight and Spike who appeared at my door. It didn't matter because it just distracted me from fixing the backyard.

"Hello.", I say while smiling. I'm smiling because Twiggle is annoyed.

"Hi.", Spike says. "You got a ticket for the Grand Galloping Gala and a letter from Princess Celestia.", he says as he gives me a scroll. I take it from him in my magic. Now I have to pretend to not know him.

"Thanks..."

"Spike, I'm Twilight's number one assistant!", he says happily.

"Must be hard.", I say to offend Twiggles.

"It was but now I'm experienced.", he says, completely oblivious to Twiggle's annoyance.

"Understandable. Anything else?", I reply.

"No."

"Have a great 24 hours.", I say as I close the door. It's great to hear Twiggles panic because she thinks I threatened her and Spike laughing because he got the joke. I'll read the letter and finally get to fixing the backyard and looking for a good hiding spot for Arnold and Stan. I go to the couch in the living room to read the letter.

The room temperature suddenly decreases and Karen appears. She had appeared yesterday and we debated the ownership of this house before deciding that we can co-exist peacefully as long as I don't try to get rid of her or she tries some funny business with me. She had taken a bit of power from Stan so that she could get a better form than translucent white. She is now having a mostly opaque body and a yellow, Karen cut mane instead of a white one. Her coat is still white, so she is basically nearly opaque, earth pony Karen. At least she has enough common sense to not do Karen stuff.

"Is it true that you got a ticket for the gala?", she asks without showing any emotion.

"Yes." And all hell broke loose. Karen went from an intimidating 24 year mare to some kid getting their first diamond in Minecraft. She talking about all the stuff that is in the gala and what she wanted to do. I feel sad for her because she's a ghost and now she's sad as well. I decide to destroy the sad.

"Ey."

"What?", she says sadly.

"Twilight also got two ticket."

"So?"

"She'll tell her friends."

"And?"

"If you have a sense of schadenfreude then we can go to watch Twiggles' friends fight for the ticket.", I say with a grin. She thinks about it before smiling and replying,

"Let's go."

We had left the house 10 minutes ago to observe Twiggles' misfortune. I had been looking for a hiding spot for Stan but Karen just chucked him out of my bedroom window into the overgrown backyard which was logical because no one is going to find him in there. Stan was understandably unhappy. Arnold was thanking god that he's a watch. I was concerned about someone seeing Karen and freaking out and calling the 'Church of the Holy Sun' but Karen explained to me about how she was using her ghost powers to be invisible to everyone but me.

I had bought an umbrella because I know that it will rain. We were heading to the restaurant where Twiggles and Spike was eating the sandwiches. When they were in sight, it started raining. I had opened the umbrella and started heading towards them. I see Rarity in the corner of my eye. I could hear her tell Rainbow Dash to close the hole in the clouds as we got close.

"Spike.", I called out. He looked at me with confusion. "Get under the umbrella or you'll be wet.", I continued. He didn't hesitate and got under the umbrella just as Rainbow closed the hole. Spike, Karen and I could not help but laugh at Twiggles' stupidity and her now soaking form. Karen laughed the hardest as she was levitating around Twiggles. It's great that she can't get wet. Twilight just stood there annoyed while trying to glare at me and Spike through her wet mane. We stop laughing.

"Get under the umbrella or you'll get sick.", I say with a grin. She gets under the umbrella and mutters a 'thanks'. "I'll drop you at your house. Is that fine?", I ask.

"Yes.", she answers in an annoyed tone. We start walking towards the library. I spot Rarity in the corner of my eye.

"So, how was your day?", I ask even though I know how it was. The rain is becoming lighter. Rarity is getting closer.

"Bad. In the morning, I was helping AppleJack when I got two tickets for the gala. Applejack wanted me to take her to the gala so that she could sell her snacks but then Rainbow Dash came and she wanted to go to the gala to meet the wonderbolts. Rainbow Dash tried to do a favor for me a few minutes earlier and now I am pretty sure that the rest of my friends would also try that. I can only take one pony with me or I can give up my ticket but then three would be left out.", she rants as the rain becomes lighter and lighter and eventually stops. I close the umbrella and keep it to my side.

"What if I gave my ticket?", I ask because I feel bad for her and also because I am not trained to deal with nobility.

"But why would you do that?!", she asks incredulously.

"It's simple. Firstly, I'm shy and would just wait out the party in a corner which will just waste the ticket. Secondly, I am very patient but I have a limit. The 'nobles' would destroy my patience in seconds and from what others have told me, I get really scary when someone angers me enough. I have never seen red and I don't want to find out what happens when I do."

"What do you mean by 'see red'?", Spike asks.

"When you 'see red', it means that you are being controlled by your rage.", I answer. Rarity is right behind us.

"Hello Twilight! Spike!", Rarity says as she start walking by them. She looks at me. "Mr. Gear."

"Please don't call me Mr. Just call me Gear."

"OOOoooh! Somepony's a bitch!", Karen says as she inspects Rarity. Thank god that only I can hear her.

"Okay. So what are you doing?", she asks as if she wasn't following us.

"I was going to drop Twiggles and Spike to the library.", I respond with a smirk. Spike snickers while Twiggles just grumbles at her nickname. We arrive at the treehouse and Fluttershy and animals are cleaning the place. The crow from day before yesterday is there but he isn't doing cleaning and doesn't care that the other animals are glaring at him. The crow spotted me and flew onto my back. I look at it and it looks back at me. This happens for thirty seconds before I look back to Pinkie singing some song about the ticket. I will not question what is going on. I'll just move out out the door so that the animals could leave.

Fluttershy approaches me. She looks at her animal friends leaving then at the crow on my back.

"He likes you.", she says with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Okay...", I say because I'm pretty unsure about what to do.

"I think you should keep him.", she says happily. I would have accepted but the problem is that I don't know how to care for birds. I look at Karen who is standing next to Fluttershy for some help.

"Do what you would do. I don't mind if a bird came in the house.", she says. I ask Arnold mentally about what to do and get the same answer. You may not realize this but it is a pretty hard choice. I could take care of the crow but it would be really hard but Fluttershy is so happy about this and not even the devil would want to make her sad.

"I will take care of him."

1-2: You are being helped! Do not resist.

28/6/1500, Monday.
What's a short form for AppleJack that annoys the heck out of AppleJack or at least confuse her?

Apple woman? not creative.

Fruit butt? too insulting.

discount ~~cowgi~~ cowmare? Too long.

~~Fatty?~~ That belongs to Celestia.

I'll just call her dummy. Yesterday dummy got me pizza because I seem like that kind of guy(the guy who eats nothing but pizza).

I would have appreciated it anyway if it weren't for the FACT THAT SHE PUT APPLES ON THE PIZZA. EVERYONE KNOWS THAT THE ONLY FRUITS ALLOWED ON PIZZA ARE TOMATO AND PINEAPPLE. AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

It feels good to get that off my chest. I ate the pizza after removing the apples instead of wasting food. Now I'll stop ranting and continue. Today is the applebuck season. I know this because I see a cow stampede. The advantages of working at the workshop at the edge of town.

I see Applejack and Winona far behind them.
...
...
I don't think they'll reach in time. Boss comes outside to pull me in.

"Boss, do you think that they'll reach in time?", I ask as I keep looking at the rapidly approaching herd and dummy who is not able to catch up.

"I don't think so. Now get inside or you'll be hurt!", he says as he tries to pull me into the workshop. He does not realize how strong I am from carrying all the groceries in one trip, cycling everyday and picking up 4-5 kg sacks of flour to prove that I can pick them up. I am grateful that my human strength carried over to my pony form.

"Nah. I'll try to stop them.", I say as I start walking towards the herd. I stop at the very edge of town with the workshop being only 20 meters behind me. Boss gave up on trying to get me in the workshop and is watching me. The herd is about 500 meters away. I charge up a shadowmancy spell and imagine. Everyone else who was watching, suddenly saw a wall of pure shadows emerge from the ground. The cows stopped so that they didn't run into what seemed to be a void. I stop powering the spell and the wall disappears into thin air.

AppleJack slowed down and eventually stopped in front of me with Winona following her. She looks a bit angry.

"What did ya just do?", she asks.

"Stop a stampede.", I reply as Winona starts sniffing my front right hoof.

"Ah know that. What was th' magic wall spell you just did?", she asks with a frown.

"Shadowmancy.", I reply knowing full well that it is probably illegal. The pop of teleportation catches our attention. It's Twilight.

"Hi.", I say nonchalantly.

"Don't hi me. I felt dark magic being used here. You better explain me why or I'll get Princess Celestia involved!", she says angrily. I think everyone gets an angry effect when around me.

"I stabbed a bunch of orphans.". I say before AppleJack could say anything. Twilight was horrified. "What are they gonna do? Tell their parents?", I continue with a smile. Twilight was more horrified now because she didn't get the joke while AppleJack just frowned.

"DID SOMEPONY MAKE A DARK JOKE?!", Pinkie shouts and scares us all.

"When did you get here?!", I ask loudly.

"I got here when somepony said a dark joke. I always wanted to know more about dark jokes so that I can make more ponies laugh. If ther-", Pinkie gets cut off as AppleJack puts her hoof over her mouth.

"He used shadowmancy to make a wall to stop th' cows.", AppleJack tells Twilight.

"But there are no magic books in Equestria that teach about shadowmancy! Princess Celestia had them all destroyed!", Twilight shouts in disbelief.

"You know that there are countries other than Equestria. If not, now you know.", I reply with a slight frown.

"Where are you from?", Pinkie asks suddenly.

"A mystical land known for curry. Guess where.", I say.

"OOH! OOH! I know this! You're from India!", Pinkie says happily.

"Correct!", I say as I smile when Pinkie hops happily.

"We should have a party for you! *GASP* I forgot about your welcome party!"

"No need of party. Friends is enough. I have to get back to work now.", I say as I walk back to the workshop. It is true that I don't like parties much. I'll rather be friends.

3//7/1500, Saturday 3:26 P.M.

I'm home and I've been working on the music box for the last 20 minutes. I decided that it will play Minecraft by C418. Mostly because the tune is easy to remember and make. Hopefully no one asks where I got the tune. I play it and it works as intended. Success!
(Song)

*knock knock knock*

I am interrupted by-

*knock knock knock*

I exit the living room and go to the front door. I open it and see a unicorn mare with tan coat and red mane, wearing gold armor, no helmet and a scabbard. She is also wearing an obviously religious sun necklace thingy and an angry expression.

'Is she a Jehovah's witness?', I thought.
'No. She's a solar knight.', Arnold answered.

"Uhhh... Can I help you?", I ask her while trying my best to hide the fear of getting killed.

"You will surrender the elements of disharmony or face the wrath of the church of the holy sun!", she demands.

"Princess Celestia agreed to not take them. I'm not giving them.", I reply with a frown. She scowled and I suddenly see a sword floating inches from my face.

"You will surrender the elements or I'll take them from your dead body.", she demands.

"No-", I get cut off as she cuts me on my left foreleg above my hoof.

"That was the final warning. Surr-",she gets cut of as a loud smack is heard in the nearby area followed by the sound of something hitting the ground. I had knocked this mare out with a really hard punch to her face from my left leg. A stupid move because now I'm clutching my left leg from the pain. I use a healing spell to fix it up but a smaller cut is still there. I focus on the unconscious mare at my door. I didn't break her nose somehow but that doesn't matter. What matter is what I'm going to do with her.

*GASP*

I look up from the mare to see Spike. He looks understandably scared but then he notices the cut on my left foreleg and the blood on the sword.

"What happened here?", he asks as he approaches me.

"She's a knight of the church of the holy sun who wanted the elements of disharmony but got a punch when she used her sword.", I answer.

"Shouldn't you call the police?", he asked rhetorically.

"What if she becomes conscious and goes back to where ever she came from?", I shot back. "And even if I go to the police, they might become suspicious of me."

He tries saying something but stops and thinks. A groan caught our attention. The mare was waking up. I quickly pick up the sword in my magic. She gets up and glares at me.

"Leave or I'll call the police.", I say.

"The police have no power over me.", she says with a smirk.

"Spike, run to Twilight and tell her what happened here. I bet Princess Celestia would like to know about this.", I say while winking to him. It feels weird to wink. The mare is suddenly not smug. She takes the sword from me and fast-walks away.

"So, will you call the police?", Spike asks.

"No.", I reply with a smile because Karen is following her. Both of them disappear from view and moments later we hear the mare scream like a filly. I chuckled while Spike was just confused.

"I just remembered that Twilight asked me to get you."

"Why?"

"It's about Applejack. She's been working for days without sleeping.", Spike says seriously.

"She's like the opposite of me. I will take help even if I don't need it meanwhile she refuses help even if she needs it.", I think out loud. "Max!", I call out. A rustle and a crow has landed on my head.

Spike has lead me to Twilight who is observing Applejack who is failing to kick a tree.

"She need some help.", I say.

"Yes, she does but she won't accept it!", Twilight says with frustration.

"Anyway, I have a plan. Max will distract her while we remove the apples with magic.", I say as Max flies off of my head to annoy Applejack.

"But-"

"It is not illegal and she wouldn't notice us in that state. Now come, Max has already started.", I say as I teleport to the trees and start removing apples. Twilight was not happy but didn't protest.

5:10 P.M.

Twilight's friends had joined us in the plan and now we were finished with harvesting the apples. Many of you may not realize it but it is hard to listen to someone talking about something that happened yesterday. Pinkie was going on and on about the 'baked-bads' that Applejack had made. I had kept quiet and listened till she stopped talking. She eventually went away and let me work in silence.

Applejack had fallen asleep while Max was troubling her and Big Mac had taken her into the house. He had thanked me but was a bit displeased with my method. I had left the farm and went home.

Right now, I was lying on my bed. At moments like these when I have nothing to do, I miss the internet. I miss r/holup and cursedcomments.
...

"Why don't you open that book you got from the library?", Arnold says, startling me. I would have if I had remembered that I got it. I get off the bed and out of the room and head to the bookshelf. There are only three books The magic guide I got when I came here, a world history book and a book about science experiments that had failed.

I pick up the latter and open it to a random page. The page is interesting. It talks about the concept of engines powered by liquid fuel. The only types of engines that exist on this planet are steam and magic engines. Steam is very polluting and magic is inefficient.

I have an idea.

Give comments because they make me happy (:

1-3: The nerd, the bird and the turd.

11/7/1500, Sunday, 10:00 AM.

I hate this. Last night, I got my false memories downloaded into me while I was asleep. I'll let you guess why I am still lying in bed and looking sad. If you guessed that I have no family because they died then your correct!

I'll explain the thing in brief. According to the memories, on my 18th birthday, me, my parents, little brother and little sister had gone out to celebrate. We had been walking down some street and some old building in the street collapsed and there you have it. A few others had died along with them. I didn't feel very, very sad because the memory is almost four years old and in that much time, I would have gotten over it.

Also 5th dimensional was wrong. I'm 21 and going to turn 22 on 8 November. Idiot.

*knock knock knock*

Second time where I have been summoned by rapid knocking. I get off my bed and head downstairs. I open the door and suddenly I am wearing a bucket and covered in mud. I can hear Pinkie and Rainbow laughing their butts off. I pull the bucket off of my head and open my eyes and they were already running away while laughing. I need a bath.

10:21 AM

I want to throw Pinkie and Dash into the 'mud' that they used on me. That stuff was sticky as hell and took a lot of effort to remove. I'll see if I can try to get payback but I'll do that later.

I head downstairs to my basement and turn on the lights. I walk over to the object at the center of the basement. The object would seem really weird to a normal pony as it seems like it's just a bunch of metal. However, an intelligent pony like Twilight would be able to tell that it is an engine. This was my idea. Twilight may consider me crazy for trying to build an engine because it is impossible for anypony to make it...

…but I'm not a 100% pony. I'll explain the engine to you all. It's an inline 6 cylinder engine that runs on magically charged sunflower oil. It use mechanical compression to ignite the fuel. The fuel is magically charged by a enchanted gem that is embedded in the fuel tank that binds magicules from the ambient magic to the oil. Basically, a diesel engine. In theory, this should work but I still haven't tried turning it on. Today is the day where I will either fail or make history.

With the push of a button, the engine roars to life and history is made.

1:00 PM

Pinkie had given me an invitation for the party with Gilda to which I was heading. I can already see Pinkie waiting at the door for me. She had asked me why I was in such a good mood. I didn't tell her about the engine's success but promised to tell her at the party. I just want to see Twilight's face when she hears this.

"Glad you could make it to the party!", Pinkie says in her joy filled voice.

"Wouldn't miss one of your parties.", I replied with a smile as I entered the building. My smile deteriorates a bit as I see the reactions of everyone inside. Twilight is clearly not happy to see me, Rainbow is smiling mischievously, Rarity is thinking that I'm sus and AppleJack don't seem to care. Only Fluttershy is happy to see me while Gilda is curious. Everypony else don't care that I'm here.

"Yo whaddup?", I greet them.

"Nothing. What about you?", Gilda replies.

"I made an internal combustion engine that works.", I say. The reactions towards me are different now. Twilight looks angry, AppleJack seems interested and the others are confused.

"You're joking right?", Twilight asks as she walks towards me.

"Nah.", I reply with an internal smile.

"Making an internal combustion engine is impossible. I know this because I have read books. You must be lying.", she says with a smug expression as she stops in front of me.

"I'll prove you wrong after this party.", I reply as I turn to Gilda.

"I'm Lonely Gear and you're?", I ask, pretending to not know her identity.

"Gilda, the coolest griffin ever.", Gilda replies with a smile.

"Okay."

1:14 PM

The party was cool and didn't end up with Gilda getting [TRIGGERED] by the pranks because I fell for most of them. It wasn't really harmful since the lemon-drops weren't really spicy for my South-Indian ass. Right now The mane 6, plus Gilda because she was curious, are heading to my house to see the engine. We are already on the wooded path and I think that this is the first time that everyone except Twilight has been here.

"This place is so calm.", Fluttershy says as she looks around.

"And beautiful.", Rarity adds.

"I gotta admit than this is a neat place to live. Probably the second coolest house in ponyville.", Rainbow says.

"I'm lucky that no one bought this house because it is haunted.", I say.

"H-h-h-haunted?!", Fluttershy says as she hides behind her own mane.

"It's all lies. I have a roommate who has lived here for the last three hundred years and hasn't seen anything paranormal.", I say. Everyone except Fluttershy and Twilight laugh, thinking that I joked but little do they know about Karen. We soon reach my house.

"What's that on the front yard?", Gilda asks as she looks at the engine.1

"The engine.", I reply. Max flies out of the trees and onto my head. He really likes sitting on my head for some reason. Twilight inspects the engine and teleports a notepad and quill and starts taking notes. Not good. I'll have to get a patent as soon as possible or else Twilight might steal the credit. I pull her back from the engine with magic and turned to face everyone.

"Now witness the nerd magic.", I say asI push the button that switches on the engine. This time however it didn't switch on immediately. Right before Twilight could accuse me of lying, the engine roars to life and scares Fluttershy. Twilight just stands there with a open mouth and wide eyes.

"Well that's okay but what can it do?", Gilda asks as she eyes the engine.

"Nothing until I attach it to something else like a cart. If I attach it to a cart then then the cart should go very fast without needing someone to pull it.", I answer.

"How fast?", Rainbow asks.

"Over a hundred kilometers per hour. Definitely not as fast as you.", I say as Twilight closes her mouth and stares at me.

"You couldn't have made this!", she shouts as I turn the engine off.

"Why couldn't I have made this?", I ask Twilight.

"So many scientist have tried and failed at engines and then some random unicorn like you successfully makes one! This engine must be fake!", she argues as she starts scanning the engine.

"So, you're saying that I look too dumb to make an engine?", I ask with slight anger.

"YES!"

"..."

"..."

"... I could eat alphabet soup and shit a better argument than that.", I say. Gilda and Rainbow start laughing their asses off, while the others just giggle. Twilight looks more enraged than before. She sends me a death glare before teleporting away.

"I'm writing that down for later!", GIlda says as she stops laughing.

7: 43

I spent the rest of the day with Gilda, exchanging jokes and insults. She was clearly impressed with my(reddit's) insults. We had a competition where we made yo mama jokes. Gilda stood no chance. Eventually she had to leave. The mane 6 and I waved her off. Twilight was glaring at me all the time.

In the end, I was Gilda's first nerd friend. Life's good.

Hello. Not much time. School and dad getting in the way. I will continue writing.

Please leave comments in the comments section or I'll leave weaponized Roombas in your house.

1-4: I've got a box with wheels.

19/7/1500, Monday, 1:00 PM.

I have become the nerd god of Ponyville. My invention was been patented on Monday and made the headlines on Tuesday. This was the greatest moment of my life. And this is where the problems begin. Firstly, the press found out that I am the bearer of one of the elements of disharmony and decided to fuck my reputation. Secondly, an inventor from Canterlot, Crimson Cog, claims that she made the engine and I stole the idea. The matter went to the princesses who decided that there will be a demonstration/test to see who is the real inventor.

I cringe every time I remember the memory of her shouting nonsense in front of Celestia while we we were at the day court. I wish that they just carried out an investigation but I think Celestia wants to publicly embarrass the inventor. The test will be today and I'm prepared. The test is simple. I just have to make a working vehicle.

Here is what I made. I took some help from Pinkie, Rarity and Turner. The vehicle will be judged on looks, speed and how much it can carry. I wish that they just carried out an investigation.

The test will be carried out at the flat land north of Ponyville meaning that I will have to drive the car from my front yard to there. I open the right door and get into the driver's seat. I press a button on the right side of the steering wheel and the car starts. I slowly drive down the path and towards ponyville. I speed up a bit as I enter the town. I just have to drive across the town square and to the flat land.

I can see the crowd that gathered to watch Trixie. Trixie stops her performance as I drive by. I can see that she already tied up Applejack with her own rope and wanted someone else to challenge her. I continue driving to the test place.

2:00 PM

I got to the place at 1:07 and had to wait for an hour for Crimson Cog and the princesses who'll be judge. The mane 6, Turner, Trixie and a few other ponies came to see the test. Right now I can see the princesses' carriages descending from the sky along with Crimson Cog's vehicle. It is definitely better looking than my car and can also fly but only with pegasi towing it.

Celestia's golden carriage lands followed by Luna's and Crimson's vehicle. Everyone bow as the princesses get off their carriages. I rise as Princess Celestia approaches me.

"Good afternoon Princess.", I greet.

"Good afternoon to you too. I hope that you are ready for the test.", she says in a calm voice.

"I am ready.", I reply

"To lose.", a snobbish voice said. I look behind Celestia and see a mare with red coat and brown mane approach.

"So, when will we start?", I ask Celestia to avoid talking to Crimson.

"In a few minutes. You could introduce yourself to Luna.", she replies, sensing my need to avoid Crimson. I nod and walk towards Luna while Celestia goes to meet Twilight. As I head to Luna, I see that she isn't alone.

"Hi Gear!", Nightmare Moon says as she sees me approach. She looks different now. She is a lot smaller than she was when she and Luna returned from the moon. Luna in contrast is taller than before. I get closer and see that I'm taller than Nightmare.

"Good afternoon Nightmare. Good afternoon Princess.", I greet them.

"Are you always this formal?", NMM asks because Luna wasn't sure what to say.

"To all females regardless of whether they like it or not.", I answer.

"What about stallions?"

"I will be formal if they aren't friends. If they're friends then I won't be as formal."

"Why would that be?", Luna asks, joining the conversation.

"Mommy raised a gentleman.", I reply.

"Hmmm. I have a question.", Luna says.

"What is it?"

"Are you not scared of either of us?", she asks with hope.

"Nope. Why should I be scared of potential friends?", I answer truthfully while impersonating Pinkie to a level.

"You wish to be friends with us?", Luna asks with surprise. Canterlot must have been bad to her.

"Yeah."

"...I thank thee for your kindness.", she says with a smile.

"Hey Gear, they're starting. You should go.", NMM says. I look behind me and see that the test is going to start.

"See you later.", I say as I go and stand next to my car. Crimson's vehicle is a few meters from my car. It's a white carriage with lots of gold decorations and jewels embedded on the roof. The driver sits on an elevated seat on the front of the carriage. There is a compartment under the driver's seat that I think has the engine that Crimson made. Crimson is sitting on the driver's seat with a nervous expression but that is quickly replaced by a smug expression as she looks at me.

The two princesses walk to a spot in front of us and quietly discuss something. They then turn to us both and Celestia starts speaking, "Me and my sister have decided that Crimson Cog's vehicle is better looking and therefore she gets a point."

I knew that this was inevitable but the next two parts of the test is what I'm looking forward to.

"For the second part of the test, we will have a race between your vehicles. To pass, you must reach that line first.", Celestia says as she points at a finish line a few kilometers away. I decide not to question how a finish line got there when I spotted Pimkie there. I get in my car as the princesses move out of our path.

I start the car while Crimson starts her carriage. It takes a few tries but the carriage turns on and damn! It's loud as hell and is releasing as much smoke as a factory does. I put my attention back to the princesses. Both of them look disapprovingly at the carriage. Princess Luna then raises a red flag, signaling us to get ready. I rev the engine.

Luna brings down the flag, signaling the start of the race and my car goes from 0 to 60 km/h in about 6 seconds. I didn't pay attention to Crimson as I got closer to the finish line. I pass the finish line and stop. I step out of the car and look around to see where Crimson is. I don't see her anywhere near the finish line but I see her at the start line. Her carriage is no longer spewing smoke. I get back into my car and turn around and drive back to the start line.

Princess Celestia was talking to Crimson in a disapproving tone while everyone else present was impressed with my car. I turn off the car and exit the car. Nightmare approaches me with a smile with Luna following behind.

"Guess what?", Nightmare says as she looks at Luna.

"Mr. Gear, you have won and are the real inventor of the internal combustion engine.", Luna says.

"Mr. Gear, would you please come here?", Celestia calls out from next to the carriage. I comply and walk to her.

"I believe that you would like to see this.", she says as she gestures to the open engine compartment of Crimson's carruage. I looked it over and close my eyes and took in a deep breath.

"Where did you get the design?", I ask Crimson as I open my eyes.

"An anonymous pony sent me those. They wanted me to verify if the design would work.", Crimson answers while looking at the ground.

"Twilight is the root of this problem. She had scanned the engine when Gear had showed it to her.", Arnold says for me. Celestia walks off to scold Twilight while Crimson says 'sorry' and walks off to wherever she went to. I stand there for a few moments thinking about my decision of showing the engine to Twilight.

"Uhhh...", a voice says from my left. I turn and see that it is Trixie.

"Yes?"

"Trixie wants to ask that perhaps you could let her... ride in your invention."

"Yeah you can."

1-5: Call of Slumber-party: infinite pain

23/7/1500, Friday, 5:30 PM.

You guys are probably wondering why I skipped the last episode. It’s pretty simple. Luna wanted to buy the car but it had to be customized from her. I was busy adding silencing enchantments and midnight blue paint to the car to help the mane 6 deal with the dragon. If you wanted to know, ‘dragonshy’ took place on the 21/7.

I had to add silencing enchantments, shield enchantments and a flying enchantment for Luna’s new car. Her chariot is probably never going to be used again and I’m never going to enchant something to fly unless I have a good reason because it’s not worth the headache caused by doing such a complex enchantment(unless I get lots of money). The total cost of building the car along with enchantments and paint costed Luna 30,000 bits which is only worth half of her chariot. She had come yesterday and payed me and left with the car.

Right now, I’m at the library, sitting at the round table, reading a book about illusion magic. Twilight had apologized for what she had done yesterday. I forgave her because she had offered me a jar of chocolate chip cookies and not because of her puppy face. Puppy face has never worked on me and it never will. Most of the ponies including Twilight are preparing for a storm. I would have been at home but I was needed here in the library for reasons unknown to me.

The door opened and I turned to see who came in. It was Spike... Followed by Nightmare Moon.

“Hi Gear.”, Spike said as he waved as he went upstairs.

“Hello.”, NMM says.

“Hello to both of you.”, I said. “If I’m correct, you’re is here because Sunbutt wanted to see if you’re is still evil or not.”

“You hit the nail on the head.”, she says as she sits opposite of me.

“And I’m here because I’m your only friend besides Luna and can keep you in check.”, I continue.

“You’re my only friend because Luna is technically my mom.”, she says as she levitates a history book to read. I raise my hoof to object but stop and think.

“Aye, fair enough.”, I say as I continue reading my book. We read in silence for the next few minutes until a thunderclap disturbs us and the sound of heavy rain start coming from outside.

“Heavy rain isn’t it?”, Nightmare says.

“Light in comparison to somepony I know.”, I reply.

“How heavy is this pony?”

“I know five fat ponies and she’s three of them.”, I say, causing Nightmare to giggle.

“Is it Celestia?”, she guesses.

“The pony I’m talking about is not a professional fatty.”, I reply with a smile.

“Luna?”, she says with a smaller smile.

“No. It is someone we both know.”

“Twilight?”, she guesses.

“No.”

“Rarity.”, she guesses with a smaller smile.

“No.”

“Rainbow Dash?”, she guesses with a frown.

“No.”

“Who is it?”, she asked with annoyance.

“You.”, I reply with a grin as I watch her puff up her cheeks in anger.

“What proof do you have?”

“The fact that you didn’t instantly say your name shows how dense you are.”, I reply. It is pretty clear that I am being a troll-asshole hybrid to her. She looks cute when she’s angry.

*pop*

Wait, where did sh-

“OW!”, I shout as something heavy falls on me and pins me on the floor.

“You were right about me being heavy.”, Nightmare says from above me as she starts cackling. My back hurts like-

“I KNEW THAT YOU WERE STILL EVIL!”, someone shouts as the door bursts open, letting in little bit of rain and a cold breeze. I look towards the door from my position and see Twilight standing there, staring at us with Applejack and Rarity standing behind her.

“Uhhh... We were uhh...”, Nightmare tries to explain why she was sitting on me and cackling.

“I called her fat and she proved herself right.”, I say quickly as I put my hooves underneath me.

“Uhh... Okay, I guess. You both can come inside.”, Twilight says as she lets Applejack and Rarity in. I get up with causing Nightmare to almost fall off of me. Almost. She regains her balance and gets off with a flap of her wings.

“We are most grateful for your invitation.”, Rarity says as she gets in.

“Thank ya kindly for yer hospitality.”, Applejack says as she almost walks in.

“Please clean your hooves before coming in.”, I say as I look at Applejack. She looks at me angrily before going outside to clean them. Rarity looks at me approvingly.

“Where’s Spike?”, Twilight asks Nightmare.

“He went upstairs. Probably tired after royal business.”, Nightmare replies as she goes to sit at the table and continue her book. I do the same. Twilight nods and looks outside through the window.

“I don’t think you’ll be able to go home in such a storm.”, she says as she continues looking. “I know what we can do! We can have a slumber party!”, she says happily as she goes to bookshelf and pulls out a book. I look like this at the mention of a slumber party.

“Oh! Uh, goodness. Uh, I do believe I have another engagement scheduled for this evening that completely slipped my mind until just now. Ah, silly me, I can’t possibly stay here all night”, Rarity lies. ”With these three.”

Nightmare and I heard her say that last line. I can tell that she heard because her frown became bigger.

“I’ll read books while you guys have fun.”, I say in an effort to destroy all chances of me being a part of the slumber party.

“Same.”, Nightmare says.

“No, you both are invited as well!”, Twilight says with a big smile. I don’t want to ruin her mood. I look to Nightmare and can see that she’s thinking the same thing as me. We make eye contact and decide what to do.

“Fine.”, we both say at the same time. “Could Spike join us?”, I ask, hoping that I’m not all alone.

“I’ll go see if he wants to join. You could do makeovers while I’m gone!”, she says as she runs upstairs. I look to Rarity and she already has the mud mask stuff in her magic.

“Which one of you two wants to go first?”, she asks with a grin. We remain silent. Rarity’s grin is wiped off of her face.

“I wish that it didn’t have to come to this.”, she says as she suddenly grabs me in her magic and pulls me to her. I teleport behind Nightmare before she could put the stuff on me. Not today.

“Take Nightmare! I want to stay ugly!”, I say as I push Nightmare to her. She didn’t even fight back.

“Spike has already fallen asleep and won’t be joining us but that’s fine.”, Twilight says as she comes down the stairs. “Do it for me too.”, she says as she sits down near Rarity. I go back to reading my book while they do makeovers. The door opens as Applejack comes in.

“What in tarnation... Now wait just a minute. Ya make me wash the mud off my hooves, but it’s okay for y’all to have mud all over yer faces?”, she says angrily.

“They’re giving each other makeovers because it helps you become less ugly and also because Twilight’s book says that you should do it.”, I say. Twilight levitates the book to her.

She reads the title and says, “Oh hey, would’ja look at the time. I gotta skidaddle on home quick. I’m powerful late for, uh, fer somethin’. Uh, g’night.” She opens the door and takes one step outside and almost gets struck by lightning. “Or maybe I’ll sit here for a spell.”, she says quickly and comes back in.

“Hurray slumber party!”

“I’m sorry that I sacrificed you to Rarity to save myself.”, I say to Nightmare as I draw a sketch of the inside of the library. She’s currently lying on the floor on her stomach. She doesn’t have curlers in her hair like the other three.

“It’s nothing really. Besides, I liked the mud mask. Maybe you should get it done.”, she replies as she grabs a pillow and puts it under her.

“This is so awesome! Makeovers, check. Ooh, it says here we have to tell ghost stories. Who wants to go first?”, Twilight says as she removes the curlers from her hair and checks a box in her book.

“M-”, Applejack tries to say but the lights go out and Twilight, Applejack and Rarity scream. Suddenly, a firefly lamp lights up with Nightmare holding it.

“I’ll go first. I’ll be telling you the story of the skeleton pony.”, Nightmare says with a smile. I continue drawing in the dim light of the lamp.

“And when she looked behind her, she saw... The skeleton pony!”, Nightmare finishes the story.

“I finished my sketch.”, I say as I hold up the sketch. The four looked at me and at that exact second, lightning struck outside. They all screamed so loud that I had to cover my ears. Someone turned on the light switch and they stopped screaming.

“By the moon, I thought the skeleton pony actually came here.”, Nightmare says as she sat up straight. “But it was just you.”, she continues as she points at me.

“I also thought that you were a skeleton for a moment.”, Twilight says with a giggle. I keep a neutral expression as I look down at my body and examine it.
…
…
…
100 days to ~~Halloween~~Nightmare Night and I already know what I’ll be.

“Ghost story, Check. Who wants s’mores?”, Twilight says as she heads to the kitchen.

“I’m going to have the best spooktober.”, I whisper to myself as I get up and follow her.

“Then you place one marshmallow on the top of the chocolate and be sure it’s centered--that’s critical--and then carefully put another perfectly square graham cracker on the top. And done. Ta-da!”, Rarity said as she taught Twilight how to make a s’more.

“Ooo!”

“Nah, you just eat ‘em.”, Applejack say as she throws some in her mouth and eats them. Only Twilight was not disgusted by the fact that Applejack did not close her mouth and chew. She then let out a loud burp.

“You are okay to be around most of the time but today, it seems like you want to offend me. Please explain why?”, I say before Rarity could say her line.

“What do ya mean by that?”, Applejack asks with confusion.

“I know that you have basic manners and etiquette but you are going out of your way to be disgusting.”, I say.

“I ‘ave been on my best behavior since Ah entered this house so Ah dunno what you’re talkin’ about.”, she says angrily.

“No one on their best behavior chews with their mouth open unless it is on purpose.”

“Ah didn’t chew with my mouth open!”, she lies.

“Raise your hoof if you saw Applejack chew with her mouth open.”, I say as I raise my hoof. Everyone else raises their hoof.

Applejack huffed and said, “Fine. Ah will try to be better.”

“Good.”, I say.

“Uhh... So with that out of the way, who wants to play truth or dare?”, Twilight says.

“I’m out.”, I say immediately and exit the kitchen and walk back into the main room. Too bad that they also came into the room a few moments. I place a bubble of silence around me to not hear them. A minute passes and Twilight approaches the bubble. I pop the bubble to listen to what she says.

“Yes?”

“Why are Rarity and Applejack arguing so much?”, she asks.

“Lifestyle choices. One is a farmer who gets everything dirty and the other is a wannabe noble.”, I say loudly so that both of them could hear. They stop fighting and glare at me.

“How dare you!”, we three say. They were momentarily confused.

“Jinx! Both you can’t speak until someone says your names!”, I say with a smile. They look angry and Rarity opens her mouth to say something. “Also, if you speak when you are jinxed, anyone around you can punch you and the jinx stays.”, I add quickly. They don’t believe me until Nightmare speaks up.

“Will I be held responsible for the pain I cause them?”, she asks with a smile.

“No, they are responsible.”, I answer. Both of them look unsure about speaking. A moment of awkward silence follows.

“Uhhh.. We can do pillow fights?”, Twilight says as she looks at her book.

“Where are pillows?”, I ask. A pile of pillows is teleported into view. “Applejack versus Rarity.”, I say as I quickly grab a pillow.

“I’ll never participate in such brutish activities!”, Rarity says as she points her muzzle upwards. A pillow is thrown by Applejack and the decision changes. I move to the sidelines as the battle starts.

“You won’t join them?”, Nightmare says from my left.

“No, I’m using a tactic that has been used many times in real life warfare.”, I reply as she sits down to watch.

“What is this tactic?”, she asks. I’m pretty sure she knows but I’ll tell anyway.

“Divide and conquer. Let them fight each other and both are weak, rush them.”, I answer as Twilight gets another pillow thrown at her face.

“Mhm.”

“Let me just make it worse for them.”, I say as I levitate two random books from one of the bookshelves that line the wall. I levitate one to Rarity’s pile of pillows and the other to Applejack’s pile and leave them there. As expected, they throw the books at each other at the same time without realizing that they threw the books. The books collide mid-air and fall to the ground. One of the book has a torn page. They continue their battle.

“They will not survive this.”, I say as I watch Twilight. She looks [ANGERY]. She levitates a dozen pillows and starts throwing them really fast at the other two and surprises them. Both Applejack and Rarity start concentrating their fire onto Twilight but still throw an occasional pillow at each other. The three become tired after five minutes of throwing pillows and stop to catch their breath.

“Now watch.”, I say as I get up, grab three pillows and throw them at the tired fighters. They are too tired to dodge and are quickly defeated. “I win.”, I say as I walk to stand on top of a pile of pillows. I stand there for a moment, basking in the glory before I am suddenly hit by something soft and thrown off the pile. Luckily, I land on a pillow.

“Nay, you don’t.”, Nightmare says from atop of the pile. I turn to lie on my back and see that she is holding multiple pillows in her magic. “Do you surrender?”, she asks with a smirk.

“Yes.”, I say. All the pillows fall down as magic no longer holds them. I get up as the other three recover from the fight.

“I think we should call it a night and get some sleep.”, Twilight says. The other two give sounds of agreement. Twilight then looks at me.

“I think I’ve got an extra mattress somewhere.”

24/7/1500, Saturday, 1:00 AM.

I’m not able to go to sleep. Not because of Applejack and Rarity fighting over a blanket. It’s because of the situation I am in. Twilight had an extra mattress and I thought that I’ll be alone on the mattress but I was wrong. I have to share the mattress with Nightmare because Twilight’s bed didn’t have enough space for two ponies and she didn’t want to leave her bed. I swear that she had an evil smile when she said no to my request of her sharing the mattress with Nightmare.

Nightmare had fallen asleep with ease while I’m just gettin-
…
…
…
…
She just pulled me into a wing hug. Help what do I do?
(Internal confused screaming for unknown amount of time)

“I hope you’re happy, both of you. You’ve ruined my very first slumber party. The makeover, the s’mores, Truth or Dare, the pillow fight... I mean, is there anything else that could possibly go wrong?”, Twilight said sadly and I’m pulled out of my internal confusion. Lightning strikes a tree outside and suddenly I remember where the mattress is placed. It’s right next to the window. I try to get out of the way but it is too late. Applejack lassoed the tree and pulled it in the time it took me to think and my world turns to black as something hits my head.

I groan as I wake up. My body is paining but my head is paining more. I open my eyes and see the blurry faces of Applejack, Rarity and Twilight. I try getting up but a hoof stops me.

“Don’t try to get up yet.”, Nightmare’s voice says. I comply and lie down on the... Whatever I’m on.

“What happened after the tree came in through the window?”, I ask.

“You and Nightmare were hit by the tree. Rarity and Applejack quickly removed the branch and I did first aid for you because you got a large cut on your forehead because of a branch. You’ve been unconscious for an hour.”, Twilight answers. I brought my left forehoof to my forehead and felt the bandage below my horn.

“I don’t think I can call my first slumber party fun.”, Twilight says sadly.

“You can still make it fun.”, I say.

“How?! Applejack and Rarity were fighting all the time and now you’re hurt!”

“Are they fighting now?”

“No.”

“Then go do something fun and maybe it will heal my soul.”

“How is that supposed to work?”

“Do not question the elevated one.”

“...Fine.”, Twilight says as she and other three exit the room. I am left alone. I’ll get some sleep.

1-6: Speciesists will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

Author's Note

This chapter is shit. I'm sorry to put you through this. Feel free to skip. Nothing major happens.

1-6: Speciesists will be shot. Survivors will be shot again.

31/7/1500, Saturday, 10:00 AM.

It's been a week since the slumber party and four days since Nightmare went back to Canterlot after passing the 'not-evil' test. I had went to hospital on Saturday to get the wound checked since using my magic gave me pain. Nurse Redheart had asked me how I got hurt and was not pleased when I said that I 'offended a tree'(I told her the real reason after that). She had informed me that this could be serious. Some check-ups and a prescription later, I was out without anything serious. I just needed to take some mild painkillers when using magic caused pain. I should be fine in a week.

Also, Luna had used the car for a diplomatic visit to Saddle Arabia on Monday. This made the news. Rich people want cars and I'm the only one who makes them. I've got many commissions(correct word?) in the last five days. I accepted one commission which was Blueblood's. I made Blueblood's car a bit similar to Luna's. The differences are a flat roof, white paint and an emblem of the Blueblood family and no flying enchantment. One of his servants came and took it and payed me accordingly.
(+26,000 bits, total:38,050 bits)

I also got a few journalists who were voicing concerns regarding cars. Some were reasonable, like the inevitable use of cars for military purposes, safety concerns and the availability for general public while others were outright dumb, like cars taking over the world(I swear that this was real). I couldn't do anything about military business but I could do stuff about safety and availability for the general public.

I won't do anything right now because there are only two cars in existence and also because I want cookies. Getting cookies means that I have to leave my ~~cave~~ ~~dungeon~~ house and go to sugarcube corner. Do I really want to leave my bed to get cookies?

'The hardest of choices require the strongest of wills.', Arnold says in my head. My ancient instincts answer my dilemma and I get up to go get cookies.

I get off the bed and try to put on my glasses using magic but the pain is back. Aight imma take my joy... Done. I can use magic without the pain now. I put on my glasses successfully and open the bedroom door. Everything is exactly the same upstairs except for the bookshelf which has a few more books and other stuff than it did. Downstairs is more furnished than before. The fireplace in the living room has seen two uses so far but it would probably change when winter comes. The mantel's only decoration is a globe. The backyard is free of overgrowth. The kitchen has a small table next to the wall with two chairs.

"Where's the bit bag?", I asked out loud.

'The kitchen table.', Arnold answers mentally.

"Thanks.", I say as I check the bit bag. 20 bits should be enough. I take the bag and exit the house. I listen to sounds of nature as I walk the path towards the town. This is a little bit better than city sounds but only a little. I like city sounds and noises because it was a lot better than the ringing sound that came with silence.

Oh! I am already at the town square and it is empty. Was there a monster attack? I look around for ponies or signs of something happening. No ponies, no aftermath of attack or monster, just a cloaked figure digging at the ground. That's Zecora.

"Gear! Come here!", a voice whisper shouted at me. I turn to the source which is behind Zecora and see Pinkie at the door of sugarcube corner.

I had two options:
-First option: Go to Pinkie
-Second Option: Talk to Zecora

I chose the first option.

I walk towards the shop to Pinkie's relief but it turns to horror because instead of Zecora, I walk in a straight line. She almost faints as I walk past Zecora. I really want to tell Pinkie to stop acting like that. I walk into the shop and Pinkie immediately starts checking me over.

"What you all doing in here?", I ask, pretending to not know. The mane 6 have looks of fear except Twilight who is annoyed.

"They're hiding from her for some ridiculous reason!", Twilight says loudly in a very annoyed voice.

"But she's evil!", Pinkie argues back.

"Tell me how?", Twilight asks angrily.

"I heard that she eats hay.", Pinkie argues back.

"We all eat hay.", Twilight deadpanned.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask again.

"They're all scared of this Zecora for some reason.", Twilight answers.

"I ain't scared of her!", Apple Bloom says but gets shushed by Applejack. Outside, Zecora removes her hood and reveals her mohawk.

"Just look at those stripes! So garish!", Rarity says as she looks out the window.

"I see...", I say.

"I know, right?", Rainbow says as she shoots Zecora a glare.

"...that you are all speciesists.", I finish.

"So true!", Rainbow says immediately. "Wait a second. What did you call us?", she says as she realizes the problem.

"I called you speciesists. They are people who discriminate against different species just because they are different. I'm probably just overexaggerating.", I answer.

"But she lives in the Everfree forest!", Applejack shouts.

"So?", I ask. Applejack's mind nearly breaks when I ask her that.

"Don't cha know how unnatural the Everfree forest is ?!", she asks incredulously.

"No. It seems like a normal forest to me.", I answer. Both my real memories and artificial memories tell me that the Everfree is natural to mine and the rest of this world's standards.

"NO! The forest ain't natural at all! The plants grow...", Applejack says.

"Animals care for themselves...", Fluttershy continues.

"And the clouds move...", Rainbow Dash continues.

"All on their own!", the three exclaim together causing Rarity to faint.

"The things you just described as 'unnatural' happen everywhere else in the world.", I say. Everyone is shocked. Even Twilight is a bit shocked. "You guys are ignorant as fuck."

"Don't use such language! Especially around Apple Bloom!", Applejack shouts at me.

"But Apple Bloom isn't here.", I say. Applejack looked around the shop and immediately ran out when she didn't see Apple Bloom with me close behind her. Applejack couldn't find Apple Bloom outside either and the absence of Zecora only added to her fear. She immediately started galloping to get to the Everfree as fast as possible.

I of course followed her. We reached the southern edge of the Everfree and soon we were deep in the woods. Still no sign of Apple Bloom. Applejack is frantically calling her name. I start focusing on the noises around us and my ancient instinct.

"Follow me!", I shout as I turn right. Applejack follows and soon we find Apple Bloom in front of the patch of poison joke with Zecora on the other side. Applejack immediately runs to get Apple Bloom while I try to catch my breath. All of a sudden, the rest of the main 6 join us. All of them except Twilight glare at Zecora. Zecora does not give us a warning about the flower. I'll assume that we're not affected by the flower.

Time to go home.

1/8/1500, Sunday, 11:00 AM, 3rd person.

The library was an interesting scene. The mane 6 were all present and had a common problem.

"I'm telling you that she cursed us!", Rainbow shouted at Twilight.

"Curses aren't real!", Twilight shouted back. They had been arguing for the last ten minutes about whether or not did Zecora 'curse' them. They were interrupted by the sound of the library's door opening. They all turned to see who it was and saw a cloaked figure. At first they were scared that it was Zecora but then they took a closer look and realized it was just a pony.

"Do you have a book with the title 'super-naturals'?", the pony asked with a feminine voice, indicating that they were a mare. The mare's voice sounded familiar. Twilight looked to Spike who just shrugged.

"Sorry but we don't have it.", Twilight answered. "Is there any particular reason you needed it?", Twilight asked. The mare seemed hesitant for a moment and then removed the hood of her cloak, showing her face.

"...Gear?", Twilight said in a very confused voice.

1st person, Lonely Gear.

"Yes?", I answered in my new, high pitched voice. I'm already regretting the decision of showing myself to them. All is quiet for a moment but then they start laughing. I've changed my decision of taking their help. I put on the hood and leave the library to go to Zecora for help. Hopefully no one tries to talk to me.

I hold more respect for women of any race. I hold lesser respect for ponyvillians than before. I was hit on about four times and I still can't believe how lewd Equestrian ponies can get. Almost as lewd as man. The only good thing was that no one recognized me. I am currently sitting in Zecora's hut, waiting for her to brew the remedy. It was relatively easy to explain my problem to her but that was probably because she's a fellow half-Indian. Talking to someone in Hindi again was nice.

*knock knock*

"I presume it is the other six that wish to get out of their fix?", Zecora asked as she added some herbs to the remedy.

"Probably.", I say as I get up from my seat at the table and walk to the door and open it.

"Thank Celestia you're fine! We thought something happened to you!", Twilight says as she was relieved. The rest of the six along with Apple Bloom were there.

"It's time to remove the curse!", Rainbow shouts. I give her the look that you give to the antivaxxers who do their own 'research' on vaccines.

"You are not cursed but I can change that if you don't shut up about it.", I warn her but it is ruined by my girl voice.

"Then how did this happen to us?!", Applejack shouts from Apple Bloom's back.

"You see, a long time ago, there was an old man and we don't care about his story because it is not related to our problem. In reality, a bunch of flowers played magical jokes on us. Now if you want a cure then come in and remain silent as Zecora makes it.", I say as I let them in. They look at Zecora like she's sus but deep down, they know that she is not the imposter. We sit quietly for a few minutes.

"How much more time?", Rainbow asks impatiently.

"It will be done in a few minutes but I still require a herb from Ponyville.", Zecora answers without rhyming.

"But the town has a बंद whenever Zecora comes.", I say in perfect Hinglish.

"What's a-", Twilight tries to ask.

"बंद is when all businesses close in a place for some reason, usually protest.", I answer before she could butcher the word.

"She looks scary enough to cause one of those.", Rainbow mutters. Everyone hears. Zecora is hurt. Time to stand up for others.

"You know what would be funny?", I ask. "Leaving you six in the streets of Delhi or Bangalore. I can imagine you all just freaking out the second you look around.", I continue. The six seem confused while Zecora just smiles. Goal achieved.

"I don't know get why we will freak out.", Twilight says.

"It's simple. Half of Bangalore's population is made up of people from the rest of India meaning that you can find a lot of different species living there and according to the Equestrian perception, the city is mostly made up of 'savages' and 'monsters'.", I explain this world's Bangalore to her. "Don't ask more questions until you go get the ingredient that Zecora needs while letting the town know that Zecora is not evil."

"Bu-", Twilight tries to say.

"No more questions."

"Won't you come with us?", she asks quickly.

"No. I'd rather be dead than show myself to anyone like this.", I answer.

"But we saw you.", Rainbow says.

"If you tell anyone, they will not find your body and even if they did, they would only find it piece by piece. This applies to everyone.", I threaten everyone. "Now go get the herb before I become curious about my body."

Everything is fine now. They were quick. I'm male again. Want to sleep now.

1-7-2: Snow way that I'm enjoying this.

1/11/~~1500~~ 2021, Monday, 8:00 AM.

The Gregorian calendar is a thing. I got to know at Rarity's boutique while buying myself a jacket after she casually mentioned that 2022 will be a great year for her. Equestria has it's own calendar but it's used for prophecies and other stuff. I got a jacket that is plain black. Rarity hates my colo(u)r choice.

Right now I'm at home, in front of the fireplace, warming my unnaturally cold hooves. In the last three months, a lot has happened.

Firstly, in August, I started a company called Clockwork Co. which produces commercial vehicles, engines and the small music boxes that no one else is able to make for some reason. Wake up Switzerland. There is a factory in Manehatten which produces the vehicles and engines which are sold off or exported. The music boxes are made in a workshop that is located close to the factory.

There had been some trouble with a few nobles who were angry that their virgin steam/magic engines were not being sold because airship and ship companies were switching to the chad internal combustion engines.

They tried to get me in trouble by saying that the internal combustion engine was damaging the environment with it's exhaust. When that didn't work, they tried to use a century old law that allowed the nobility to seize whatever business they want to if the princess allows it. According to the law, first the nobles argue why it is okay to seize the business, after which I am allowed to argue why it is not okay to do that. The princess will decide who wins.

I had to go to the day court and wait for the nobles to finish their bullshit about the 'horrible' working conditions in my factories and how the Equestrian economy is getting hurt. In the end I won, the nobles lost their nobility and the century old law was gone.

Secondly, I found new countries. There's Canada which is where Canada is supposed to be. There's Yakyakistan and an unclaimed piece of land sandwiched between Canada and Equestria. Griffonia is on the NNE border of Equestria. There's also the United Changeling Kingdoms.

Thirdly, I am NOT 100% pony. I still have human traits like omnivore jaw, the ability to keep on moving(persistence hunting) and of course, monke-like brain(super big brain ultra intelek). I got to know about it after a medical checkup. The doctors decided that it was because of how diverse Indian family trees are in regards to species.

mmmm... my hooves are warm.

*knock knock knock*

I get up and go check who is on the door and immediately regret it because it's Pinkie.

1-8: Three princesses walk into a dream

Yay new low effort chapter.

1-8: Three princesses walk into a dream

3/11/2021, Wednesday, ----

Let's play a game Mario. You will have to choose between eating this pineapple pizza or eating this red chili. The choice is you-
...
Mario?
...
...
Wait, is this a dream? Let me check. Okay so it is a dream because I imagined a flying spaghetti monster in front of me and a flying spaghetti monster appeared there. This is cool so far. Probably my first lucid dream. I look around me to find a void which is pretty unoriginal. Time to replace it with something even more unoriginal. With a thought the void slowly gets replaced with a generic minecraft world. This is pretty nice so far.

"Nice place you got there.", A familiar voice says from behind me. I turn around and see Human me. "Wouldn't it be a shame if three alicorns were to come here in fifteen minutes to spy on you. Anyway, you should learn how to make a mental block to stop intruders.", he finishes and disappear.

Okay, so I have a problem. No wait, I have two problems. Alicorns using the dreamscape to mess with my head and the fact that I am not sure who the three alicorns could be. Luna is going to be there for sure and Celsetia will probably be there and the third alicorn might be either NMM or Cadance but NMM can probably dream walk so that means that Luna might not be there at all and- FOCUS!

Okay, I don't have to care about who is entering my brain. I just have to make sure that they don't try to mess with it and I have a plan.

10 minutes later, 3rd pov.

"You can open your eyes now.", Luna said to Celestia. Celestia prepared herself for whatever she was about to see and opened her eyes. She did not see what she expected to. Instead of a chaotic mess, she found herself in a clearing within a fir forest. The time of the day within the dream seemed to be around evening and the weather was a bit foggy.

"This is unusually calm for a pony like Gear.", Nightmare Moon said from her left as she looked around.

"Why is that so?", Luna asked as she admired the calm scene.

"He's different.", Nightmare Moon answered. "He's kind of rude and doesn't really care much about what a stranger thinks but he's also friendly somehow. The things he does are chaotic and his sense of humor is probably the most bizarre thing to exist. I could go on and on about him."

"Seems like someone has a crush.", Celestia joked. Nightmare Moon was not amused.

"Enough talk, we should start searching for Gear.", Luna said as she started casting a spell.

"Can't you teleport us to him?", Celestia asked.

"I can teleport myself only. You have to either fly or walk to him.", Luna answered as she finished casting the spell. "This way.", Luna said as she turned towards the setting sun and started flying.

They had been flying for two minutes and had already spotted some objects of interest. The first was a well and the second was an empty sign.

"I feel like Gear is making us go this far on purpose.", Celestia said as she looked at the trees below for anything.

"If Gear had been lucid dreaming then I'm pretty sure he would have noticed us and shook himself awake the second we entered the dream.", Nightmare said.

"Look over there.", Luna said as she pointed to the left. She had spotted a house that resembled Gear's house in the waking world, within a clearing. The three alicorns banked left and landed in front of the house within a minute. Celestia walked up to the front door and opened it. Instead of finding Gear, she found a hallway that stretched as far as her eyes could see.

"Should we go in?", Celestia asked as she moved away from the door so that Luna could see.

"Yes, we have to if you want to enter his mind.", Luna answered as she entered the hallway. Celestia and Nightmare Moon followed her in. Within the hallway, there was no sound except the hoofsteps of the alicorns.

"Wait. Do you hear that?", Nightmare said as she stopped. The other two alicorns stopped and tried to hear what she was hearing.

"I don't hear anything.", Celestia answered.

"But I heard a fourth set of hoofsteps."

"It is best to ignore them. This is a dream after all.", Luna said as she continued walking. The other two continued following her. Soon they came across a door. Luna who was leading the group opened it and stepped outside into another clearing in the forest with the others behind her. Outside in the forest, the sun had set and a moonless night had replaced the sky while the fog had become thicker.

"This will take all night if we continue going like this.", Nightmare complained. "At least the dream could have been intere-"
She was cut off by the sound of a loud horn coming from the forest. They could see a white light coming towards them from the direction from which the horn sounded.

"What's happening?!", Celestia asked as the wind started picking up.

"Tis probably a night terror! Nightmare, get ready!", Luna answered as she charged up a spell to dispel the supposed night terror. As the light got closer, they could hear the sound of heavy footsteps and machinery. The horn sounded again as a mechanical leg landed in the clearing, breaking a tree in the process. The three looked up to find three lights that seemed to be connected to a main body staring back at them. Without wasting time, Luna shot the spell that would destroy the night terror at the machine only for it to not work.

"This isn't a night terror.", Luna said as she realized what was going on. However, she could not do anything as a heat ray came down and hit her, causing her to seemingly be vaporized. The moment Luna disappeared, the dream walking spell broke and Celestia and Luna found themselves in Luna's room in the Canterlot castle.

Luna turned to Nightmare who was still levitating with glowing, white eyes , indicating that she was dream walking. A second later, Nightmare's dream walking spell also broke and she fell to the floor. Instead of expressing discomfort or pain she expressed anger.

"That Motherbucker was messing with us the whole time and we didn't even know!"

1-9: Visitors and talk

6/11/2021, Saturday, 9:00 AM, 3rd person pov.

The mane six watched as the train stopped at the platform. Twilight had brought them here for some reason, probably to meet someone. The train came to a complete stop and the doors opened.

Three(?) unicorns stepped out of one of the doors. One was a young stallion with a white coat and blue mane and was wearing a black scarf. The other two were mares, one had a pink coat and a mane that was coloured purple, magenta and yellow and was wearing a plain red sweater while the other mare had a light amber coat and a red and yellow mane and was wearing a blue scarf.

Twilight immediately ran up to the stallion and pulled him into a tight hug.

10:02 AM, 1st person pov: Gear.

"Pinkie, can you please stop dragging me? I can walk just fine.", I complained as Pinkie continued dragging me across the snow, to the library. The light snowfall didn't bother Pinkie who was wearing nothing but a green scarf. The snow, however, did bother me and as a result, I was wearing my jacket, scarf and beanie.

"If I stop dragging you then you'll just run back to your cave and not meet the new ponies!", Pinkie replied as she let go of me. "Besides, one of the pony really wants to see you!"

"But do I have to see them?", I complained like a child.

"You know what, I'll give you cookie if you go.", Pinkie replied enthusiastically as she resorted to bribing me.

"Pinkie, that's all you had to say.", I said as I started walking to the library on my own will.

Within a minute we were at the library. Pinkie opened the door and entered with me following behind and closing it. I immediately noticed somethings. Firstly, the mane six, except Pinkie, were sitting at the table in the center of the library. Secondly, three other, very recognizable ponies were also sitting at the table. They are Shining Armor, Cadance and...

Sunset Shimmer.

They seemed to be talking about something and didn't notice me or Pinkie.

"Twilight! I got Gear like you asked!", Pinkie said as she suddenly appeared beside Twilight. The three newcomers were a little surprised when Pinkie suddenly appeared next to Twilight but did not react further.

"So, is... Gear also going to pop out of somewhere?", Shining Armor says as he continues looking at Pinkie, confused about what is up with her.

"No he won't, he's right there.", Pinkie said as she pointed at me. All heads turned to look at me.

"नमस्ते।", I greeted them.

"Namaste.", the three new comers greeted back. I moved to sit at the table along with the others.

"So... you're the guy who has been popping up in the newspapers.", Shining says as he starts the conversation.

"Yes, I'm that guy. Who are you though?", I ask, pretending to not know who they are. Applejack is looking at me suspiciously. She doesn't say anything though because she probably thinks that this is my way of asking someone to introduce themselves.

"Sorry if this is rude but do you really not recognize any of us?", Sunset asks.

"No I do not.", I answer.

"Do you live under a rock?"

"Sort of. I mean, the basement's roof is made out of cement which can be considered a rock.", I say causing Sunset to facehoof.

"I suppose that we should introduce ourselves,", Cadance cuts in, "I am princess Mi Amore Cadenza or Cadance for short and I am the princess of love."

"I am Shining Armor, captain of the solar guard and big brother of Twilight.", Shining introduced himself.

"And I am Princess Sunset Shimmer, adopted daughter of Princess Celestia.", Sunset introduces herself as well. I am even more surprised than when I entered the treehouse. The lore was already very different from what I remember.

"I am Lonely Gear, the guy behind whatever is happening and I would like to know why I was needed here.", I introduced myself.

"l was the one who requested you here", Shining says, "but it is best if we have our discussion in private."

I have a sudden urge to go home and try sleeping.

"And also to make sure that you're not trying to blow the world up or something.", Sunset added. I am sure that she meant it as a joke but since I haven't had any fun in the last two-ish days, I decide that I want to do a little bit of trolling.

"You know blowing up the world is a stupid idea. Where would I live and what would I even achieve from blowing up the world? Instead, I could use the profits that I have earned and use them to expand my businesses, which will in turn will allow me to earn more profits which I can invest again.

Eventually, I'd establish a monopoly over the industry that I started of with and then I can expand my business into other industries and establish a monopoly there as well. At that point, I'd be powerful enough to affect political decisions due to my hold on vital industries.

I can then use my political power to change the system so that any work that benefits me is considered good and acceptable while work for anyone else is not acceptable and shunned. The law will have become mere suggestions to me and I will soon hold uncontested rule over the world.", I explain to the ponies in the room and end with a smile on my face.

The ponies in the room, however, were not amused or even slightly positive. Cadance and Shining Armor were wide eyed while the others seemed to be a lighter shade of their original colo(u)r and with varying expressions.

"Ha! As if that is even possible!", Rainbow shouted while pointing a hoof at me, "Someone will catch up and stop you!"

"No, Rainbow Dash, it is very much possible", Cadance spoke up, "There are no laws in Equestria that are made to stop a pony from gaining too much power."

"Well I can easily stop you with my new, super secret invention. I'll be back before you can say 'yabadabadooo'!", Pinkie said as she disappeared from the table to get her thing, whatever it is.

"Well I'll stop you before you do any of that.", Rainbow shouts.

"Fortunately, you would not have to die while trying to stop me because I have a super power called common sense.", I said, causing Rainbow to become confused.

"You mean you won't do any of what you said?", Rainbow asks, clearly confused.

"Of course I won't, I don't have the patience or experience to lead a group of people, let alone the entir-", I tried explaining but got cut off by the door banging open.

"Look out!", I heard Pinkie's voice shout before my vision was completely obscured by a blue powder that seemingly got everywhere. I was not the only one who was affected as I could hear the panicked shouts of the others. I think I could feel myself changing but I could not confirm that due to the burning sensation that my eyes were feeling. On instinct, my front legs immediately moved to block the powder from my eyes, only to be blocked by my glasses.

I took of my glasses but suddenly got pushed from behind and into the table. Normally, the table would move along with me, causing the damage to be reduced but since the round table was a part of the floor and therefore, would move not along with me, I took the full damage of getting pushed into the table and then fell to the floor.

My chest hurt a lot and I suddenly found that the easy task of breathing had become very hard and painful. My eyes were watering and closed shut and I had lost my glasses. My body was not feeling quite right and in short, I was feeling like shit.

The panicked shouts had died down and had been replace by Rarity wailing about how her hair were ruined and Twilight scolding Pinkie.

"Pinkie, what was that?!", I heard Twilight shout.

"It was the new prank that I invented using some poison joke powder. Don't worry, its effects should wear off in an hour or so.", Pinkie answered casually.

"Why the hay did you use it now?!", Rainbow asked angrily.

'Yeah Pinkie, why the fuck did you do it?'

"Well, you see, I tripped and dropped the box with the joke bombs and they all went off.", Pinkie explained.

"किसने लाने के लिए बोला था?(Who asked you to get it?)", I asked rudely in my suddenly feminine voice as I finally got up into a sitting position again. I tried looking for my glasses but my bad eyesight didn't allow me to and the irritation caused by the powder and the tears produced to fight the irritation didn't help either.

"What did you say?", Pinkie asked.

"Who asked you to get it?", I answered.

"Well, you were talking about doing all that evil stuff so I got it to stop you.", Pinkie explained.

"Do you think that is a good reason?", I asked angrily.

"No...", Pinkie answered sadly.

"You uhhh, just don't do this again."

"So, we're gonna be stuck like this for an hour?", Cadance said. I can't tell what has happened to her.

"It's not that bad. Getting six wings is a lot better than turning into the opposite gender.", Shining Armor says in an amused voice. "Don't take it negatively though, you look kinda cute."

"I'm going.", I announced as I got up.

"Okay, sorry. Don't go yet, I still have to talk to you.", Shining apologized. I sighed and moved to sit next to him. It was clear that he had not been affected by the powder. He cast a bubble of silence over us.

"So, this is probably about stuff for the military?", I began the conversation.

"Yes.", he answered.

"I'm not going to make anything for the Equestrian military. You should know that.", I stated.

"I do know that but I can convin-", he tried to say but I cut him off.

"You can't try to convince me either. No matter how many points you bring up, it doesn't change the fact that the first nations they will used in would be Yakyakistan or the changeling kingdoms.", I said.

"I know that Equestria's relations with the yaks and the changelings are not great but it doesn't change the fact that they cause harm to ponies in Equestria. Ponies face discrimination in both the countries, the ponies living close to the borders with them are not safe and the changelings drain love from ponies that they abduct.", he argued.

"Firstly, the changelings need that love energy to survive and besides, there have been no abductions in the last decade. Secondly, ponies are not discriminated against in either of those countries, both the countries have good relations with Canada and Canadian ponies can travel there freely. The only reason the changelings and yaks are hostile to Equestria is because Celestia and a bunch of the nobility don't want good relations."

"Princess Celestia wants peace but-"

"What about when the thirteen colonies gained independence and then Celestia declared war on them a month later?"

"Well, th-"

"Or when she started expansion of Equestria because 'manifest destiny' and took much over much of the yak territory or when she openly declared during the cold war that 'changelings are a threat to Equestrian society' because they might support communism?", I continued. Shining stayed quiet instead of trying to argue. "I'm sure that you understand why I won't make anything for the army."

"I understand.", he said breaking the bubble of silence. I got up and took a quick look around. Everyone was in the other part of the room, talking and laughing occasionally. My glasses were on the table. I picked them up in my magic and put them on quickly. I go to the door and open it and take a peek outside. After seeing no one, I start making my way home quickly.

Interlude-01

Somewhere in a dark room.

'It has been a day and the clone has already fitted in without suspicion. This is good.' ,A figure thinks to himself as he observes the screen of his laptop in silence. A notification sound breaks it.

'A message... Who could it be?', he thinks as he opens it. The message is from the fifth-dimensional one. It details a plan. A plan to inflict pain. The figure smiles. He adjusts his glasses as he begins typing out a reply.

Elsewhere, the fifth-dimensional one received instructions from 'the author'. He smiled and started setting up the stage for the plan.

'This is going to be fun.', They both thought simultaneously. Too bad they have to wait before starting because their moms called them for dinner.

'Do you understand anything about what is going to happen?'

Give feedback.

Interlude-02

A figure in a not dark room looked at the screen of his laptop. He had made false memories that would hide the real memories of the pony. If someone was to see his memories they would only see the false ones. He had gone out of the way to add emotions and edit this version of Equestria with his limited powers to make the events and identities seem real.

All that was left was to upload these memories to the pony. He still hadn't heard from fifth-dimensional version of him which was suspicious. He looked around the world to see if something was left to be done. Seeing nothing, he scheduled the download to start when the pony sleeps. He closed his laptop as his work was done.

Unseen by him, a power appeared in the world undetected. In the caves of Canterlot, a machine resembling an arachnid from a tale written by the true author that wasn't told yet was placed by the fifth-dimensional. The machine had only one objective.

'They must suffer.'

1-7-1: What's this white thing and why is it everywhere?

1/11/1500, Monday, 7:00 AM.

I hate this day. Why? It's because my body decided to fuck with me. My left eye got pink eye for no reason and my legs are cold as fuck. I've had a cold since two days ago and couldn't join the Nightmare Night celebrations and I still have the cold.

'Get out of bed and go get yourself a thicker blanket or a jacket.', Arnold says with a sort of frustrated voice.

I get out of bed and immediately open the wardrobe. No jacket, only a red scarf and black beanie. Fuck. I have to go buy a jacket. I have to walk outside in the cold, relying on a beanie, a scarf and my natural winter fur coat which is meant for 25C winters. Double fuck. Why is it so cold anyway?

If you are wondering about what I did in the last three months, I'll tell you after I find out why it is so cold. I walk downstairs quickly putting on the scarf and beanie. I open the main door a bit too hard as it swings and hits the wall. Not paying any attention, I step outside and immediately get buried in something cold and white that fell from above.

Fuck.
