A Life of Shy

Several members of the hospital staff ran to Trauma Room 4 where I was having a seizure. Immediately they began stabilization protocol to get my seizure to stop. They injected levetiracetam in my IV line, which immediately began to work, stopping my seizure.

“I want an MRI and another CT scan done on him immediately,” Doctor Richard ordered. Now he knew why my brain activity was so high suddenly. However, he wasn’t sure why the seizure happened and why it happened so late.

Nearly everypony is asleep at this time, with a few still wandering the streets of Ponyville. Though not far, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash decided to take me on the scenic route, about two-hundred feet in the air. I’m holding onto Fluttershy around her neck, praying to God that she doesn’t let me fall to my death.

“Where’s the seat belts when you need them?!” I said, fearing for my own life and safety.

“I can tell you’re not used to flying Pegasai,” Rainbow Dash said laughing.

“What gave you that idea? My expression or the fact I’m trying not to piss myself?!” Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash laughed. They slowly descended to Twilight’s castle. It’s amethyst-colored building stood tall before all of us. When Fluttershy landed, I tossed myself on the ground, trying to catch my breath.

“The next time we decided to go airborne, at least give me a parachute!” The duo laughed again. Once my heart rate returned back to normal, I picked myself up.

“Well here we are,” said Fluttershy. Man, I used to remember Twilight’s tree house being here. I knew this castle was put here in its place after Tirek destroyed the tree house, but it’s as beautiful as I imagined it to be.

Rainbow Dash opened the doors and gestured me and Fluttershy in. As we went in, Rainbow Dash followed behind and closed the door behind all of us. As we approached the throne room, Fluttershy stopped both us right before the threshold.

“Mikey, for your safety, please don’t enter until I call you in,” Fluttershy instructed in a quiet tone. I nodded in silent. Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash entered the threshold as I stood by the wall before it.

The mane 6, including Starlight Glimmer and Spike, stood at the round table in the center of the throne room. A holographic map with several icons hovered on the table. Everyone in there was waiting patiently for Twilight to begin her lecture.

“Thank you for being here everypony,” Twilight said. “Sorry to have to call each and every one of you on such short notice. Celestia has informed me of an unusual threat that’s here in Equestria, and she needs each of us to look into this and hopefully eradicate the threat.”

Each of the ponies at the table discussed amongst themselves trying to determine what or who the threat is.

“While I cannot seem to figure out what the threat is or the origin of the threat, the information I received from Celestia that I can provide to all of you is that there was a portal that opened close to Ponyville, just outside the town limits. It’s likely that portal opened a door to another dimension. It closed rather quickly to get more information on it.

“Celestia wasn’t able to get enough information on this portal or where it goes to, but there’s a likely chance that somepony or something is here with us in Equestria that is not supposed to be here.”

Silence filled the room.

“Here’s what I need from everypony here,” Twilight Continued. “Spike, can you pass me the assignment scroll?”

“Here you go!” Spike said, handing her the scroll. Using her magic, the scroll levitated and opened up in front of her.

“Pinkie Pie and Applejack, you two will keep an eye out for anything unusual. If you see someone or something that doesn’t belong here, catch and reel it here.”

“I’ll show em not to mess with ah cowgirl!” Applejack said with her southern accent.

“Let them get in the way of my party cannon!” Pinkie Pie stated.

“Rarity and Starlight, you two are on portal patrol. If you see any portals, immediately close them.”

“Yes ma’am!” The duo both said together.

“Finally, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, you two are on sky patrol. I don’t know if this threat is capable of flying, but you two are my eyes in the sky!”

“You can count on me!” Rainbow Dash said. Fluttershy stayed silent, but nodded.

“Does anypony have any questions before I adjourn this meeting?” Twilight asked.

“Actually, I think I might have the answer to this so-called threat,” Fluttershy said gently.

“Really?!” Twilight excitedly said. “What is it?!”

Fluttershy turned to the threshold. “Mikey, come here please.”

I come around the corner and stood right at the threshold, seeing all seven ponies and a dragon. Everypony except for Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash gasped in shock. Both Twilight and Starlight stood their ground, their horns illuminating as if they’re ready to attack me.

In the words of GLaDOS from Portal 2, “well, this is the part where they kill me.”
