And Then I was Twilight Sparkle

*Day 2*

Holy wow, that’s amazing!

Wait, let me just tell you what is amazing first.

We’ve finally got out of the tube after I taught Ruby to walk slightly better (read: teach her how to drag herself along the ground with her hooves), and the airport is incredibly… it’s indescribable. I mean, I KNEW Americans, like Australians, built big, but the size, the sheer SIZE of this…

“Why? Why?!” Ruby screams, looking at her hooves and interrupting my thoughts. Oh, great. I mean, really, she whines almost as much as RARITY does. But anyway, I look at her with my face in a deadpan look.

“What I said back when you first woke up was true. Everything is going to be fine.” I snark back at her.

“But I can’t just turn into a pony and expect everything to be fine!” she whines again. “And besides, I’m only an Earth Pony, not a Unicorn like you, or even a Pegasus pony! Oh, I hate this!” Yes, I kind of got that from, oh, you know, all the whining you’ve done so far. In case you didn’t know.

Then, she glares at me. “You know what? I have a feeling that you being with me is the entire reason that this happened.” Then, she blushes. “But, well, I don’t hate you or anything…”

Oh, great. Just great. We’ve got ourselves a tsundere pony over here, ponies! my brain says. Yeah, good job, brain.

“Well, we’ve got to go to see Princess Celestia,” I say, and marvel how easy it is to refer to Lauren Faust as Princess Celestia. Shouldn’t she be called Lauren Faust? Never mind, we’ve got to go there to see Princess Celestia and find out what happened to my friends, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash!

Wow, I’m still thinking of them as my friends, but they’re not! Yeah, i-it’s not like I k-know them or any-anything, haha!

…I’m lying to myself. I’m scared. Scared that I’ll lose myself; scared that my mind won’t survive in this body. Needless to say, I’ll try not to lose myself.

Forget about that, though; time to get going!

“WHYYYYY?!”

Oh yeah, I have to bring Ruby too.

*A few minutes later*

Ruby’s calmed down, and she’s about to explain to me why she looks like what she does. I mean, I didn’t really expect her to look like that, but still. Oh, and she can walk alright now (by alright, I mean as well as when I was at home).

“Okay, then. You know how I freaked out? That was because I changed into an OC I made for a roleplay. Her name is Saw Blade. What I don’t get is how I changed into a pony that I made.” She looks at me. “Can you explain how that happened?”

I think for a few seconds. “Well, have you ever heard of the multiverse theory?”

“Yes, but what does that have to do with this?” she asks.

“Well, basically, if there are infinite universes, there are ones where original characters exist in, and ones where every original character exists in. This Equestria, one of the main ones, is most likely one the latter ones.”

She frowns. “So, basically, my OC existed in that universe?”

I nod. “Yeah. Anyway, we should get your baggage and get going.” Then, I look at her. “You did bring baggage, right?”

“Yeah,” she nods. Then, she looks at me. “Is it okay if I can call you Twilight?”

“You already were before,” I deadpan. “But yes… if I can call you Saw.”

She nods, almost a bit too quickly. “Yes, yes, that’s alright!”

Okay, so I can call her Saw now? That’ll be a little less confusing than if I call her Ruby, considering what she looks like now.

Oh, did I forget to tell you about the people walking by? Because they aren’t that important, really; they’ve just glanced at us and walked away-

“OH MY CELESTIA IT’S TWILIGHT SPARKLE!”

-so far. Dear Celestia, don’t you know to not tempt fate, Twili-Isaac? I think sarcastically to myself as a group of bronies run towards me happily. “Yes, I’m Twilight Sparkle, I know, it’s not that big a deal.” And holy horseapples what the hay did I just say?

It’s not a big deal? NOT A BIG DEAL?! Less than a bucking DAY ago I was bucking SCARED about it, and I’m saying it’s not a big deal?! …I’m going crazy, aren’t I?

“Hey, don’t you people forget about me!” shouts Ruby- I mean, Saw. I’m gonna have to get used to that, calling her that. But they ignore her and crowd around me, asking all sorts of questions.

“Do you have feelings for other fillies?”

“What does it feel like, doing magic?”

“CAN I HAVE YOUR BABIES?!”

…Note to self, some people get creepy when confronting main characters of shows that have become real.

But the magic question? I don’t know why, but I feel like I can do magic… even though I honestly don’t know how to. I’ve got to check that out later, out-

Woah, some people are getting awfully close to me. I should ask them to le-

And now they’re grabbing at me! I have a feeling that they don’t just want to touch me or pet me!

“Get away!” I shout. But none of them do.

I need to get away from these guys I think.

Suddenly, a feeling of power surges through me, and into my horn. “I said… Get… AWAY!” As the last word is said, like if a tidal wave knocked over buildings, suddenly a purple wave of power goes out and throws all of the grabbers to the ground, while leaving everyone else up. Some of them start bleeding.

I stare at them in shock. Did… did I do that? As I look at them, I feel like I’ve broken my heart. I did that! I, I nearly killed them, and I couldn’t stop myself! I look around, and everypony else is staring at me in shock. I try to look for somewhere to gallop off to, but I see that I can’t get anywhere. I simply collapse onto the ground, and begin crying. “I… I’m a m-monster… I’m a monster…”

“No, you’re not, Twilight,” a male voice says. I look up at the source of the voice. It’s a guy with blonde hair, and green eyes. He’s wearing a backwards baseball cap and a shirt with me- MY CURRENT BODY on it, and black shorts. “They are.” He points at the guys who were grabbing at me.

“B-but I nearly k-k-killed them!” I sniff. “I am the monster!”

“If you didn’t, they would’ve done unspeakable things to you. Needless to say, you’re not a monster,” he says, smiling at me. Then, he blinks, and laughs, saying “Your hair’s messed up a bit, by the way. It looks like the hair that Future Twilight had in ‘It’s About Time’.”

“L-leave it like it is, please,” I say while blinking tears out of my eyes, and chuckle a little, his attempt to take my mind off of what I’ve done working. “S-so, do you know wh-where Princess Celestia is?”

“I’ve heard she took an abandoned shoe factory and is filling it with furniture. You can probably feel where it is using your sole,” he says, smirking.

I laugh at the pun he made. It’s not the best of puns, but it’s enough to get my mind off of what I did. “Okay, thanks! See you!” I say, standing up. Leaving the crowd, I hear some clopping on the floor behind me. Not that kind of clopping, you dirty person, clopping as in hooves hitting the floor!

I look behind me, and Saw’s following me. Oh, and she has her bag now. It’s a green bag with a skull in front of a rose on it; nothing too odd. “I think I know the place that the guy you were talking to was talking about,” she says. I smile.

“Let’s get going, then!” I say, and trot off.

*A few minutes later*

Okay, so turns out that trying to hitchhike as a pony isn’t the best of ideas.

Well, I may be exaggerating a bit, considering we actually got a car to take us in the end, but most of the time they ignored us, didn’t notice us, or cussed at us.

But in the end, we got a ride! What could go wrong now?

*Elsewhere*

John de Lancie scowled. Finally, I get my first day off in ages, and then a character which I play appears out of nowhere and recruits me for its cause!

That had been three days ago, of course. Now, he stood facing the beast, his mind in a state of disgust. “So, what should we do now?” he asked the figure wreathed in shadow sitting in a chair.

“Have you ever heard of the Egyptian sect of Pony worship?” Before Lancie could answer, the creature with his voice continued. “No, I’m guessing? Well, of course you wouldn’t! I eliminated them before they could grow that far. I didn’t KILL them, of course, simply… erased the thoughts from their minds. But before they all had their memories taken, one of them made a prophecy. A prophecy that said ‘the beast will be stopped on the dawn of the last day of the second week, by the 6 plus one and more.’ Rather rude of them, calling me a beast, though, right John?”

Swivelling its chair around, its sharp toothy smile and yellow, crazed eyes visible in the shadow, the creature snapped its fingers. “But now, I have all the time in the world to devise a plan to stop the Elements of Harmony. Look at that calendar over there in the corner, John.”

Turning around to where the abomination pointed its finger, John blinked. The calendar’s days were now nearly invisible from where he was. Moving closer, he looked upon it, and blinked. There were now 365 days in a week – the days of the month had been changed to those of a year.

The smile of the creature glinted, and he laughed. “Now, they won’t defeat me for two years. Two years, in which I can devise a plan to defeat them first!”

As the beast leaned back and laughed, lightning flashed. In those short windows of time of the thunder, the creature that was seen could only be described as an unholy conglomeration of beasts.

Discord.

“But for now, I have to go. I want to give Twilight a small scare.” And lightning flashed once more, this one bright enough for Lancie to have to cover his eyes.

When he removed his hand from in front of his eyes, the personification of Chaos was gone.
