My Terrible Nightmare

I opened me eyes too the sound of a rooster screaming it’s normal routine.

A rooster?! Oh no, I’m still in the pony universe. Ugghhh.
I closed my eyes and placed a hand on my face, jumping a bit from the hard thing hitting my face, forgetting again that I was a pony.

”Rise and shine partner!!!”

AppleJack said bursting into the room, making me jump out of the bed and landing on the floor, the blanket floating down and landing on my body, covering half my face to where only one eye was poking out. I groaned a bit.

After a nice breakfast of pancakes that tasted a little off, but was still ok, me and AJ headed towards the town, hopefully able to find one of her friends to talk to, mostly Twilight. I was still using her as a crutch, still walking on my back legs.

”Not to be rude, but are you one of those fancy ponies that don’t like to get their hooves dirty? And to be truly honest, you don’t really look like one of them.”
She said, turning her head at me and then back forwards.

”Well, uhm, sometimes I don’t really like dirty things depending on what it is, but I’m not that much of a clean freak.”
I said looking down at her gaze once she looked at me then back forwards like what she did.

”Nah I got’cha. I have a friend named Rarity who doesn’t like to get her hooves dirty at all, probably the same deal with you with what the situation is, heh.”
I nodded

We start to enter town, and hopefully no one finds me weird, even though this is Ponyville, things are gonna get weird.

I start to hear a high pitched sound, and I start to see something pink in the distance, starting to get closer.
”AppleJack, what is tha-?“

APPLEJAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!”
It was Pinkie Pie, running in this direction. I braced for impact as she skidded to a hauly in front of us, the wind from her rush pushing me down, making me stumble.
I landed on my front hooves, instantly standing back up and wobbling.

“HI APPLEJACK! OOOOOOH! WHO’S THIS?!”

She looked at AppleJack then her gaze snapped in my direction, terrifying me a bit as I flinched slightly.

“Well howdy there Pinkie! I’m just helpin’ uh, this here pony to Twilights, thinkin’ she might help us out with a certain problem.”
AppleJack thought a bit, remembering that I never told her my name, or even thought of one on the spot.

“Well hey!! I’m gonna have to throw you a welcome party today! I was just on my way to get extra extra EXTRA supplies for my parties that I was thinking up of today and then I happened to see you AJ and the new pony and I was like *GASP!* and went over to say hi to both of you!”

She was talking a bit fast, I somewhat understood her but kind of didn’t. Something about parties and throwing me one.

“Maybe you and the new pony would like to come over after you visit Twilight and I could throw the party then and bring aaaallll our friend to welcome them!”

“Why of course Pinkie Pie! We’d love to go! Sorry partner, she’s a bit on the crazy side but always means well.”

She went to my side and patted me on the back, trying to cheer me up a little, seeing that I looked a little skiddish. I did nod, understanding, but still a little causious.

“Well! Imma get going and get all the awesome things for your welcome party! Oh wait! Before I go! What’s your name?”

She was bouncing in place. I saw AppleJack look at me then back at Pinkie.

“Oh oh!!! Let me guess! Is it Cookie Swirl?”

“No.”

“Chocolate Truffle?”

“No.”

“Chocolate Stick?”

“No..”

“Moose Tracks?”

“No-“

“-Coco Gram? *Gasp* Coco Bean? Coco Sprinkles? Chocolate Strawberries? Choco Cake?-“

“-No! NO! It’s… it’s nothing food related! I… I don’t have one! Yeesh!”

Damn she really got annoying. Had a feeling that she would be, no offense.

“A pony with no name? *GASP* COULD I GIVE YOU A NAME?!”

She was literally in my face, standing on her tippy toes… tippy hooves? Whatever.

“Ugh… uhm, sure. Just! Nothing food related.. please. I don’t wanna feel fat.”

I saw her make a concerned face.

”I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to put it that way.”

”No no, you’re fine Pink.. uh Pinkie.”

I patted her on the head, not sure how to cheer her up. She ended up smiling a little and closed her eyes in agreement.

”Okie dokie lokie! See you guys later then!”

She waved and me and AJ waved back and she bounced away.

I wobbled a bit but AppleJack was in the ready by my side, me putting a hoof on her for balance.

”Thanks, soon enough I’ll be walking on my own.”

”It’a fine sugar cube, you just take yer time ya here?”

I nodded, and then proceeded to Twilight’s home.

We got a few more stares mostly because I was still walking on my 2 legs, but I guess by now I didn’t really get bothered by eyes laying on me. It still made me uncomfortable, even with me not wearing clothes when I’ve been used to it literally my whole life. I need to find a hoodie or something soon.

I think 15 minutes passed and we were at Twilight's home. Oh god, I’m in the part where Twilight is a princess with a fuckin’ castle. Great. Guess I could of found it myself since it’s a literal skyscraper. Didn’t think much of it earlier since I was distracted by, things.

”Should have told you that she’s a Princess, but you don’t have to do anything proper to her like bowing. She doesn’t really like that cuz she doesn’t wanna feel special than everyone else n’ all. Guess she’s just guilty, heh.”

AJ chuckled and proceeded to knock on the huge crystal door. I hear flapping and a ”Just a second!” before seeing a magenta aura form around the door handle.

”Oh! Hello AppleJack.. and..?-“

I guess she saw my hoof on AppleJack’s back. I saw her open the door more and her face appears.

”H-Hi.”
I decided to blurt out. Damn I stuttered, yuck.

”Oh, hi! Uh welcome! Come in! Guess you need some assistance?”

Guess she was used to giving help now that she was a princess. I wonder how far into the world that other things have or haven’t happened.

”Hi Twilight! I’m here with a friend that needs help probably finding a place to stay. They’re new around here and just had a terrible accident. See, I found them passed out in my orchard in terrible condition. Not sure what happened, and they don’t know what happened either, so it had to be a hard enough blow for them to not remember anything!”

”I don’t even remember my name so don’t bother asking.”
I added. Sounded rude, but the damage has been done already. I’ll try to make it up later I suppose.

”Oh no your fine! Uh I do have a guest bedroom that’s empty. Actually I have quite a few, not to brag, heh.

I tilted my head a bit, looking up in an understanding state.

”That’ll be nice actually, thanks Twili-, uh Twilight.”
I thought I was gonna have to explain myself for knowing her name already, but remembering that I believe that AppleJack said it herself.

”Not a problem! Thanks AppleJack, I can take them from here if you’re busy!”

”Nah I ain’t busy, was earlier but that’s when this here pony came out of nowhere. But everything should be done. I’ll just check up on everythin’ over there and come back. Speaking’ of, we already met Pinkie, and she’s probably setting up a party at Sugar Cube Corner for a welcome party. Believe she said around lunch time ‘er after.”

”Ah course she is. But it has been a while since we had a party, even for anypony, but yeah! I’ll bring them over once I lead them to the room and get them settled down.

Alrighty! Thank ya Twi!

They said their goodbyes and AJ headed back to the barn.

”So what made you want to visit Ponyville?”
She closed the door with her magic and turned her head, finding me hugging the wall.

”Uhm, looked like a good place to visit, I guess. Hah.”
I feel like she knows that I’m nervous. I’m not really, but that emotion will probably appear later on.

We walked down the hallway, and she started to talk about some of the things in Ponyville that are a cool view to see. I did see her glance at me a couple times, me dragging a hoof across the wall steadying myself.

She didn’t question it, which is I guess a good thing, even though most people, or ponies, will think I’m those type of fancy, proper ponies that don’t like dirt, unless people have the thought that I don’t look like one like what AppleJack said earlier.

It’s whatever though. I’ll probably walk like an actual pony sometime later.

“Learn any magic spells?”

I stopped suddenly, and so did Twilight.

“Magic?”

I tried looking on my forehead and seeing something protrude outwards. I raised a hoof and felt around, feeling something pointy.
Oh my god, is this a win? No! I’d rather fly! Well actually I want both.. but I guess magic will do.

I was still patting my horn, eventually looking at Twilight, having an embarrassed look on her face. She was looking away then slowly looking back to see if I was done I guess being weird.

“Oh uh, no I guess. Haven’t really thought abou-“

“WHAT?! YOU DON’T KNOW MAGIC?!”

Her scream made me fall on the ground.

“Guess that damage to my head did a number on me huh? Heh heh, ehhh.”

I felt something warm and cold at the same time flow around my body as I see her horn start to emit light. I felt myself float to my feet as I quickly placed both my back legs on the ground first and reached towards the wall with my front, the feeling going a way and propped myself up on the wall again.

“Sorry sorry! I just, haven’t heard that come out of anyponies mouth before, let alone a unicorn! *Gasp*! Can I teach you everything about magic real quick?”

I jumped slightly as a pen and paper appeared right in front of Twilight being held up by her aura.

I gave her an “uhhh, really?” look. I saw her blush and poof away the objects and she chuckled nervously.

“Well uh, maybe later, I guess. We still have that welcome party Pinkie wants to throw.”

Twilight rubbed the back of her head and then pointed outwards.

“Oh! That’s right! Sorry for distracting us! But uh the rooms actually right over there if you wanna take a quick look at it!”

I nodded in agreeement and we both walked over.

Twilight opened the door and the room was pretty big. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m in a castle for once.

The bed was placed to the far right of the room, a nightstand with a desk light placed next to the bed. There was a desk opposite of the bed to my left when entering with its own light on it. There was a small trash can, a drawer at the foot of the bed against the wall, and a nice little window straight forward.

Twilight let me rest for a bit before coming back to get me for the party I took a quick shower. Thankfully there was also a bathroom in the bedroom as well as a separate room. That’s enough privacy for me hah.

I took a quick shower and lay on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. I didn’t have a phone to look at, no computer. I then started to feel my eyes flutter shut.

I dozed off, thinking about my other life. It was a bit sad, seeing that I would never go back there unless I died I’m this universe and woke up in my bed in that world. Oh well.
