Law of Multiverse
Cutie Mark...what's that?
Previous ChapterNext Chapter*Bump*
I could feel the barrel fly up and come back down, due to all the rocks and slight bumps, I could tell we're on a dirt path. I'm still not fully caught up in what the hell just happened. One minute I'm heading off to the guitar shop and the next minute, I'm in a cartoon with a franchised that is based for little girls...and older men, as I have heard. I'm really screwed tighter than a bolt right about now. The only thing I can hear is muffled chattering between the two ponies. I was too deep in thought to pay attention. My ride is wrecked, how am I suppose to get back to college?!?! Semester finals will be coming up shortly after the break, all the money I took out on student loans...to only fail everything. I truly hoped time has stopped or I would be teleported right back to where I was, on the road.
I reached into my pocket to pull out my phone, it was at half charge and since I had an Android OS (I hate Apple products with a passion), the battery would drain in no time if I were to listen to music. I was a long for the ride I guess. I just sat there, in a giant barrel being dragged a long to a place where I can get my clothes mended. After a while, I'm assuming I finally hit pavement. That probably means I'm in a town of some sort. But if I only knew...wait. My Little Pony. All of those commercials years ago advertising their play-sets....They've always mentioned they were apart of...
Ponyville.
Oh gee, I wouldn't have guessed.
After what seemed like an eternity, I felt my barrel finally stop. Then I could feel some magical force surround it, lift it up, and levitate me forward. I'm guessing I arrived in the shop the two ponies were speaking about. I could hear chatter, then I tried my best to listen to the muffled words:
"Hey, we're here. Ray...right? You can come out now"
I'm assuming that was Twilight speaking. I honestly didn't want to, not knowing how a different pony would react to a non-native creature like me.
"Uh, I don't really want to" I said.
"You really want to challenge me?" said Twilight.
"Uh, I highly doubt you can pick me up out of this barrel and-" I felt a magical force around me again. Then within the blink of an eye, I was thrown out of the barrel and onto a marble floor.
"Hey hey, what gives-" I locked eyes with a white pony in front of me, who was starring at me with a terrified expression.
"W..W....WHAT IS THAT!" the white pony said, she spoke in some type of English accent. The pony was on top a chair as if she's been surrounded by mice. She was just starring at me, extremely frightened.
"Uh...hi?" I said.
The white pony let out a high pitched eek sound.
"IT SPEAKS OUR LANGUAGE?" she yelled.
"Uh Rarity, this is our friend...Ray" Twilight said in a somewhat comforting voice to the white pony.
"B...B..B..BUT IT HAS NO FUR BUT FOR WHAT IS ON ITS HEAD" she shrieked out.
"Rarity, he's not exactly...a pony, he doesn't mean any harm. Now just please Rarity, try to calm down" Twilight said.
"A...All right" the white pony said while she slowly stopped shaking and came down from the chair, still locking eyes with me.
The white pony took a deep breath and sighed and cleared her throat.
"Well then, I am Rarity...pleasure...to...meet you?" she said.
"Uh, hello I guess...I'm...Ray" I said while still freaked out.
"S...Sorry for the introduction, just I have...never seen a creature such as you before, but I do noticed that your clothes seemed to be torn up, may I have a closer look"? Rarity said.
"Uh...sure" I said, standing up from the floor. Since my jacket was the most part that was ripped and not my shirt, I took it off and gave it to her to look at. She noticed my shirt as I gave her my jacket, that she picked up with her unicorn magic?
"What are those...things walking across the road?" she asked.
"Oh, these guys? They're called The Beatles, and they're walking across a street known as Abbey Road" I responded.
"But they don't look like beetles" Rarity said.
"They're not actually beetles, they're humans like me who happen to make pretty awesome music."
"Humans? What?" Rarity said in confusion.
Aw hell, a brief description later....
"Oh, so you guys walk on two...legs? What about your cutie marks? What do you do in your every lives" Rarity said. Twilight and Fluttershy chimed in on this on too.
"Yea, what about your cutie mark? Do you have one?" Twilight asked.
"Cutie mark...." I questioned. That name sounded over girly. "What's a cutie mark?" I asked.
All three of ponies gasped.
"You mean you don't have one? It's the picture on your flank that makes you, you darling. It's your special talent in life." Rarity answered.
"Oh, I don't have one."
"W-W-WHAT?" Rarity said astonished. "THEN WHAT IS YOUR SPECIAL TALENT?" she over-dramatically said.
"Um, we humans can have any special talent we choose. If we want to specialize about learning a certain subject, we go to school and learn about the subject to master it, then we just simply find a job for someone who needs people like us to do that task."
"Uh huh, I see, then what do you do?" added in Twilight who seemed interested.
"Uh, I like to play instruments and work on computers" I replied.
"A computer, what's that? If you don't mind telling us...that is" quietly said Fluttershy.
This wasn't easy to explain. "Think of it as an object that can calculate data and run tasks, like..." I tried my best to explain to them what a computer is, what an operating system is, and what applications are and such. It was another 5 minute conversation.
I finished telling them what it is and it seemed to satisfy them. After various measurements, Rarity went off to work mending my jacket, and stitching together new clothes for me. I sat on a couch in the lobby of her...err...boutique? I think. I was just waiting while the other two ponies talk amongst each other. Then my stomach started to grumble. Twilight took notice. I haven't eaten since this morning...on earth.
"You seem hungry" said Twilight. "We have a on the outside of town who can bake a pretty delicious apple pie."
"Well I guess I could eat something, I'm not sure if it's edible for my or not...but I really don't care" I said. I was starving, I could eat just about anything right now.
Without a word, Twilight gestured her hoof toward the barrel from previously. I let out a sad moan and knew the drill. I climbed into the barrel, sealed the lid over me, and I could feel the barrel being levitated over a cart and being pushed off. I really hate barrel travel.
