Chapter 2: New Home

Previous Chapter

(Evalyn POV)

It was a couple of weeks since we arrived in this world, a world full of little tiny ponies. I was shivering as I watched them leave the premise of our new house. Mary meanwhile was interacting with the pony she told me was Applejack. Our house was built near the outskirts of town, I hoped that would keep the ponies away from our home. Mary walked over to me “Do you want to look around our new home.”

I grumbled “Not really. I just want to go back to our home.”

Mary facepalmed “You were miserable there too, you came home after work and slumped down on your bed. I didn’t even see you until dinner, you just laid on your bed and sobbed all day. You need to find happiness somewhere.”

I growled “Life is not meant to be happy, it’s meant to be real. Life will always beat you down, that’s just how it works.”

Mary sighed “Just have a look.” We entered the house, it was a quaint place. A small wooden dining table and two chairs were on either side. I walked through the plain wooden halls, Mary meanwhile was inspecting the rest of the house. There were two doors next to each other at the back, I opened one to see an empty room with a single bed. I laid down on it and closed my eyes.

I wanted this to be a bad dream. Maybe if I was lucky, I would wake up somewhere else. I closed my eyes, drifting into slumber. I woke in a pitch black space a skeletal figure stood over me, he was wearing a long white cloak as well as black shirt with blue v-like shape at the bottom. He was also wearing black pants and white socks. He held out his hand, I took it hesitantly as he helped me to my feet.

He nodded at me “My name is Error 404, I would meet in person but you are on the outskirts of my influence. I can only come here in your dreams due to the distance between our physical locations.” He then turned to a dark miasma bumping up against the barrier around us “She can’t see us or hear us, she is good at what she does but no amount of skill could over come the difference between our powers.”

I frowned “Why are you here?”

Error 404 gave a subtle smirk “I wish to teach you something and maybe you will be able to help me in the future. You have natural abilities are something that could aid me in my cause. I can help explain those abilities and how they work.” I frowned as he placed what appeared to be a rock on the ground, he raised his hand “I wish for you to copy this rock, focus on the rock. Take in every detail and create another.”

I focused upon the rock, I could see it fade into code. It was almost too easy. With a wave of my hand another rock appeared, completely identical to the first. He nodded “Impressive, when you awaken you should practice more. After all I think someone wants your attention.”

The area started to glow white, I jolted out of my bed. Mary was standing over me “You can’t just sleep, it’s a beautiful day outside.” I frowned, that was too strange to be fake. Mary smiled “Come on, I’m making breakfast.”

I followed her out of the room, we soon arrived at our dining table. I saw a small yellow flower outside the window, I focused on it and a flower was in my hand but it was blue instead of yellow. I placed it down, creating more flowers. After ten minutes, I had fifty blue flowers on the table. Mary turned to me and blinked “Where did those flowers come from?”

I turned to her, a plate of eggs on toast on a plate “Somebody turned up in my dreams, a skeleton. He told me I could copy things and make more of them, I’m not perfect at it yet. They should be yellow.”

Mary frowned “I don’t like this but if it makes you happy I won’t complain. It gives something to do other than mope.” She put a plate down next to the pile of flowers. She smiled “Eat up, if you are going to keep practising that you will need to eat.” I grumbled as I levitated the flowers and tossed them outside. I moved the plate to in front of me, I glared at the flower outside. I turned away as I saw few of the tiny ponies walk by. I grimaced, focusing on my meal.

(Mary POV)

After our meal was done, I left Evalyn making more flowers. I was more interested in exploring the town, I had to watch wear I walked as I was far larger than the ponies. Still most of them were unfazed by my presence. I was a little perturbed by the very light aquamarine mare, her wild smile as she shouted “Human, tell me your secrets!”

I pulled her off and placed her on the ground “I have no secrets, also don’t pester my sister. I would rather not have her laying in a panicked ball for the next day or so.”

A cream coloured earth pony mare pulled her back “My name is Sweetie Drops or Bon Bon to my friends, forgive Lyra. She is a bit crazy about humans and sometimes forgets boundaries.”

I smiled “It’s alright, she can’t really do anything. I am far too large for her to move.” I walked away, the town was fairly quiet. Ponies were milling about their business, I could see ponies buying from the stalls in the market. Others were entering Sugarcube Corner, I sat down near the forest. For some reason our fridge was always magically stocked with food, even the ponies couldn’t explain it. Maybe whoever brought us here is sustaining us, hard to tell. My thoughts were interrupted by a pink cloud bumping into my face. That was strange. I new something was up, weird weather didn’t happen here.
