Law of Multiverse
Wheel Barrel Disguise
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Huh" I said. "So I guess the tone knob changes the gain level". That means when you turn the knob, it makes the sound louder and more of a distortion/over-driven tone, like you hear in most rock songs. I formed another chord shape with my fingers and strummed down on the bottom two strings, making a basic blues rift that you hear in a lot of Chuck Berry songs. I looked up from the neck of the guitar and gazed at my surroundings. A Flower decorated wall, a green rug, a book case filled with books, all in a cartoon appearance. I looked out the window behind me and saw a few chicken coops with a dead forest in the background.
It's been about an hour or so since the pony left. I heard a clopping sound coming up from outside, she must have returned with her "friend". I laid my guitar next to me on the sofa that I had been resting on. I simply laid back and awaited the arrival of the two ponies (that is, IF her friend is a pony). I heard the front door open. The yellow Pegasus pony walked in with the purple pony I guessed about. I was right this time. They then turned to face me and trotted towards me. The purple pony's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She quickly trotted toward me. I was face to face with another pony...with a horn? That must make her a unicorn.
The pony said not one thing as she carefully inspected me. My eyes followed her every move. She finally stopped the inspection and sat down right in front of me.
"Hello?" the purple pony asked.
"Uh, hi?" I said as I titled my head to the left a bit.
The pony looked at me astonished. "You speak Equestrian?" she added in.
"Um, I speak something similar I guess" I said.
"I have never seen a creature quite like you before, how did you get here?"
"That's a question I'm trying to find out myself" I replied.
"I see, and tell me, what is your name?" the pony said.
"Uh, my name is Ray" I said.
"Well then, my name is Twilight Sparkle, pleasure to meet you...uh...Ray?" she said with confidence.
"Yeah, er, nice to meet you too I guess" I replied kinda nervously. "You wouldn't happen to know the reason why I somehow ended up here in the first place? I asked.
"It depends, what were you doing in the first place?" Twlight replied.
"I was driving down the desert road going 85 at sunset, then suddenly a flash of green light appeared and I spun out of control" I said.
"Driving? You were driving a carriage going that fast?" asked Twilight suspiciously.
"Carriage? What? No, I was in my Porsche wh-" I was cut off.
"Porsche? What's a Porsche?" asked Twilight.
"Oh, uh it's a car. A car is...think of it as a horseless carriage, it's powered by a motor that uses gasoline as energy" I replied.
"Hmm, a horseless carriage? I never heard of that one. As for the strange phenomenon that occurred, I'm not sure how I can explain that. But tomorrow, I'll send a letter to the Princess inquiring on what happened." Twilight said.
"Princess? Uh, don't you mean a Queen or something?" I said.
"No, our wonderful leader is nam-" she stopped talking and noticed my guitar. "What's that?" she asked as she pointed her hoof at the Les Paul.
"Uh, that's my Guitar....do you people-er ponies know what a guitar is?" I asked.
"Yes, but I am not one for music that inquires guitars, just I haven't seen a shape like that before" she said. "But we can figure out your misplacement in this, uh, world later. Your clothes seemed all ripped. You look like you've been through quite a ride". she said curiously.
"Tell me about it" I said as I rolled my eyes.
"Well, I have a friend who specializes in clothing, maybe she can mend your clothes" she added in. I don't like the idea of other creatures...er ponies knowing of my presents.
"Uh, I don't that would be a good idea. I'm pretty sure I'd stir up some mob with pitch forks wanting to burn me or something" I said to Twilight.
"I'm pretty sure they wont go THAT far, but I have an old pony dress-up costume you could use to make the trip if you don't want to bee seen by others" she replied.
"A...pony costume?" I said. "Okay, why not" I said with some annoyance. I'm stuck here, my ride is ruined, I'm in an alternate dimension, my grades are going to go down the shitter if I'm not back in time for semester finals after winter break. Might as well.
"I um, think you might have, um left it here last time. I'll go upstairs and check" said Fluttershy. Fluttershy then left the room and proceeded up the stairs. After a few minutes she came back down with an old, worn out costume that had multiple patches on it. It was much too big for me.
"Hey Fluttershy, I don't think that would fit" said Twilight. "Say, you know your wheel barrels that you transport your animal food in? We could hide, um..."
"Him" I said
"Him in one of those" finished Twilight. Fluttershy nodded and went back up stairs to return the costume, then headed back down and outside the, cottage I presume and came back with a giant barrel on a 2 wheeled carriage. "That would do JUST perfectly" said Twilight.
"Am I suppose to get into that? I don't even think I know where tha-" I get cut off as I feel a force wrap around me. It picked me up and threw me face first into the barrel.
"GAAAH!" I let out in agony as I face planted into the floor of the barrel. The lid above me closed.
"Alright, let's go to Rarity's!" I'm assuming Twilight said. I had to readjust my position so my spine wouldn't be more malformed than it already is. I felt a few bumps and could tell I was on the outside, getting transported in a wheel barrel. What fun.
