Chapters I first examined my environment. I was in a forest. My phone and my Rainbow Dash keychain were next to me, on the ground. I picked them up. The robotic hooves helped me stand up a bit. But even with that support, I still stumbled a little bit, not comfortable with walking with 4 hooves. God, where am I? I thought to myself.
“Hey there!” Said a sudden voice that came out of nowhere. I was startled, so I turned around.
“Hello. Are you…”
“Yes, I am Rainbow Dash, the best and fastest flier in Equestria!”
I had to ask her where I am.
“Where am I?”
“You’re in the forest, silly. Oh! What happened to your leg?” She looked at my hind hoof.
“Oh, that’s a robot hoof.”
“What’s a robot?”
“Never mind.” I said, as I forgot that there are no robots in Equestria. I really wanted to take a picture.
“Can I take a picture of you?”
“Sure.” Then I took out my phone.
She pointed at my phone. “What in Equestria is that?”
“It’s a phone.”
“A what?”
I was speechless. “Whatever. But, can you lead me back to Ponyville?”
“Sure. Just follow me!”
And so we walked back to Ponyville. I took a few more photos on my way back.
I am just a normal guy that works in an office. I really like adventuring, and I would often go explore some places around the world with my friends. Some buddies say that I am very good for science, due to my trait to search for an answer to something I wanted to know., no matter how long it took. My life was perfect, completely perfect… I had lots of awesome friends. We always had fun, and it’s marvelous. That was until our company shut down, and I lost my job. Everything went haywire. Nothing went right. One day, my friend introduced me to this show called ‘My Little Pony’. At first, I thought this show was utterly weird and retarded. But then after that, I kind of liked the show. I would then watch the show everyday. The characters are awesome. I like Rainbow Dash the most because Dash has a personality like me.
One day, while reading fan fiction, I saw an advertisement. It read: “Test subjects needed. Apply now!” And I thought to myself how wonderful it would be. I immediately signed up and I travelled to their ‘test facility’.
The test facility was quite new and modern. When I went in, they greeted me and asked me why I was here. I told them I applied for the test subject. I was directed to one of their ‘test subject triage centre’. I was both scared and excited at the same time.
When I finished all the other application ‘papers’, I was told read this paper. Here’s what it says:
“Welcome to Aperture. We are glad that you applied for our
testing. You are currently in test group 3. Please follow the blue
line. Thank you.”
The other things were guidelines such as ‘don’t panic’ and ‘test safe’. I followed the blue line, and it led me to an eerily dark place. A sphere lit up and talked to me.
“Hello! Today I am your surgery…”
“Did you just say surgery?”
“Yes sir. You are undergoing a robot implant surgery, and then you will be transferred to another facility using portals.”
I was shocked. But, it sounded awesome to me.
“Ok.”
“Very well. Please lie down on this table.”
I held tight my Rainbow Dash keychain. I don’t know why, but it makes me feel lucky. Then, it grabbed my arms and restrained me.
“Now, please take a deep breath.”
After that, the last thing I felt was me falling into emptiness, spinning. Was I dead? When I woke up (I had no idea how long it was before I woke up), the first thing I saw was a very colorful sky. “Is that heaven?” I thought to myself, confused. I looked around. “Lets explore this place.” I tried to stand up, but I kept falling back. Why couldn’t I stand up? I examined my legs. Instead of legs, I found hooves! Robotic hooves. I dropped my jaw in disbelief. I looked at my hands. Hooves. Oh my. Was I really in Equestria?
After saying goodbye to Rainbow Dash, I started to roam the main streets of Ponyville. The air is much more fresher than that on Earth’s. There were ponies chatting with each other, some running around, some just minding their own business…
I did a quick walk near the street, and I thought to myself, “This place is wonderful! I just so…”
And then a pink pony started to talk to me. She was strangely cheery and has the sound of a chipmunk on helium.
“My name is Pinkie Pie, and you are invited to a party!”
“By who?”
“Me! I love organizing parties! Let’s go!”
Before I could say ‘stop’, I was dragged to a familiar-looking place. I remember! It was Sparkle’s house. It was all the way across the streets of Ponyville.
“Why did you even make this party?” I asked Pinkie while being dragged across Ponyville.
“There’s no reason for partying! I just love them so much!”
“It’s ok liking parties, but please, don’t drag me .”
She let go of me with a big ‘thump’ on the ground. I sighed. When will she ever be less hyperactive?
Pinkie Pie rang the bell.
Ding Dong!
As soon as I entered the room, 6 ponies greeted me. I was really surprised. Mane 6! I never thought that I would see them in person.
“Come on in! We’re having a great time.”
So I took a seat, and I couldn’t resist taking pictures.
“What is that thing you’re holding?” Sparkle asked.
“Oh, it’s a phone. You don’t know what a phone is?”
“What’s a phone? Let me see…” And she grabbed my phone using unicorn magic.
“I’ve never seen anything like this before… Where do you come from?”
“I come from Earth.”
“Earth? Where in Equestria is that?”
“I guess you’ve never heard of it before.” And I brought out a picture of Earth out. “Do you recognize this?”
“Nope.”
“I guess I’ll never return.”
“You still have a chance, although I’m not sure. There is an experiment on portals in Ponyville. You might want to contact this scientist. Give this scroll to the scientist.” She gave me a scroll of paper.
“Err… Thanks, I guess!”
“But how did you arrive from a place that nopony knows where it is?”
“Well, I was supposed to do a robotic surgery, and then I arrived here!”
“You are sure weird, making up words like robots and phone.”
I facehoofed. Living in another world is sure not easy.
