Running from the Past

(Lloyd's thoughts/brain surrounded by *)

"Ughh...my head," said Lloyd. He slowly opened his eyes, realizing that he was somehow alive. He looked around, seeing that a large equine creature, with a horn and wings was walking up to him.

"About time you woke up, I was getting worried." said Celestia.

"Who are you, and why are you a talking horse?" asked Lloyd, shocked by the sudden change of setting.

"Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria, to answer your first question, and I'm a pony, for your information." Celesia replied.

"Oh, ok, I'm......"

"Lloyd, I know." Celestia said.

"How do you-" Lloyd said before Princess Celestia interrupted,

"Let's just say that I've been watching you for a little while." Lloyd spoke with Celestia for a few more minutes, before his memory slowly flooded back to him.

"But wait, I died." Lloyd said.

"Well, seeing how terrible your world was, I decided to bring you here, in hopes that you could start life anew." Celestia said.

"There are a hell of a lot more people who deserve a second chance." Lloyd said. *Wait a sec, how the hell is that even possible?*

"Like I said, I've only been watching you for a little while, Lloyd, and besides, I don't want to risk bringing in a bunch of aliens into our world without any of our people knowing." Celestia said.

"Hmmph, well where am I going to live?" Lloyd asked.

"You'll be meeting with my faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."

"Alrighty then."

Suddenly, Luna burst into the room. "Sister, what happened?" Luna asked.

"It's all ok Luna, I'm fine, but I can't say the same for our guest." She gestures to Lloyd.

"Well at least the spell worked." stated Luna.

"Are you okay, Lloyd?"

"Besides being a bit shocked, I'm alright I guess."

With that statement, the three of them walked further into the throne room. After basic introductions, Luna's curiosity was sated, but not Lloyd's.

"Wait, where the hell am I?" Lloyd asked.

"You are in Equestria, specifically Canterlot. Celestia said.

"Wait, I died, I DIED! How the hell is it even possible that you brought me here?" Lloyd asked, gesturing to his surroundings.

"I teleported you here, just in the nick of time." Celestia said.

"Suprisingly, you came through without any of your injuries on your body." Luna said with curiosity.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH, since when did magic exist?" Lloyd said suprisingly.

"Well Lloyd, it seems that while magic may not exist in your universe, it does in ours. It is actually quite frequently used."

"How on Earth can we even speak the same language?" Lloyd said, quickly realizing the irony of his statement.

"I'm not exactly sure Lloyd, but it seems that we can, and I think we should leave it at that." Celestia said.

"Okay, I guess I'll stop flipping out now." Lloyd said. He calmed down.

"Are you ready to go meet Twilight, Lloyd?" Celestia asked. "Yep, I guess so." Quickly, Lloyd was teleported into the large library that also served as Twilight's home.

A bright flash of light occupied Lloyd's eyes and he quickly found himself inside of the library. Twilight turned around and saw him infront of her.

"Oh hello there, you must be the new arrival."

"Yes, I was just teleported here." Lloyd said, quickly realizing that he had just been teleported, again. He started getting sick, not used to doing such a thing.

"I guess I shouldn't be suprised, considering that I'm in a world filled with talking ponies, and magic, and whatever the hell else." Lloyd muttered under his breath. Lloyd was actually quite the scientific person, and was simply baffled by what just happened within the past hour. Lloyd quickly realized he had a backpack on, filled with all of his stuff.

"Well, where do you want to start, Twilight Sparkle?" Lloyd asked.

"Please, call me Twilight." Twilight said as she hopped up and down, akin to Pinkie Pie, due to how eager she was to question Lloyd.

"Guess you want to ask me all of the questions in the world?" asked Lloyd. Twilight quickly nodded.

"Please, take a seat." said Twilight.

"Wait, I need to go gather my friends." said Twilight.

"Can you stay here while I go get them?" Lloyd simply nodded. Within 20 minutes, Twilight was back, along with her other friends.

"I guess introductions are in order..." Twilight smiled.

"You could say that...." said Lloyd as he saw the ponies walk in. Suddenly, Pinkie jumped up to him,

"Ohmygoshyoutotallyareanalienthisissocrazyohanywaysmynameispinkiepie,what'syours?" Lloyd fell out of his chair, suprised by the sudden craziness that is Pinkie Pie.

"Calm down, Pinkie, you might scare him!" Twilight said.

"Heh, it's fine, I find it to be cute." Lloyd said. He then ruffled up her mane.

"Alright then, Lloyd, I'd like to introduce you to my friends, although I take it you have already been introduced to Pinkie." Twilight said.

"Howdy there, partner, mah name is Applejack." Applejack quickly offered her hoof.

"Nice to meet you." said Lloyd, while shaking Applejack's hand err- hoof. Quickly, Rainbow Dash walked up to Lloyd.

"Hiya, I'm Rainbow Dash, the best flyer in all of Equestria!"

"Heh, I guess so, I'm Lloyd, nice to meet you Rainbow Dash." Lloyd said.

"Hello there, dear, I'm Rarity." Lloyd walked up, kneeled and kissed Rarity's hoof, and said,

"A pleasure to meet you, lady Rarity." in his best british impression. Quickly, she blushed. Fluttershy was sitting in the corner. She looked up to find a big, hairless ape looking at her, asking

"Well, hello there, what would your name be?" She quickly released a small 'eep!' and hit behind her hands-err hooves. After a few seconds, she said

"I'm Fluttershy..."

"Well Fluttershy, my name is Lloyd, nice to meet you." Lloyd stood back up.

"And don't forget me!" Lloyd quickly turned around and saw a purple, small, dragon-like creature looking at him.

"Lloyd, this is Spike, he is my assistant." Twilight said.

"Nice to meet you Spike."

"Well everypony, I think its time that we left." Twilight said.

"Awww, already?" Pinkie asked.

"Yes, Pinkie, we should give him some alone time."

"Okay..." Everypony except Lloyd and Twilight left.

"Well Lloyd, are you hungry?" Twilight asked.

"No, I'm-" Lloyd's stomach quickly growled. Twilight smiled.

"I'll take that as a yes." They walked into town, but as Lloyd walked, many ponies gave him akward stares, or cocked their eyebrows and some even shared looks of disguist at the strange creature that was suddenly walking into their town. After walking for a few minutes, Twilight and Lloyd found a  restaurant that they could eat at. After they had taken a seat on an outside table, a waiter walked up to both of them and asked Twilight,

"What would you like today, miss?"

"I would like a daisy sandwich, please." Twilight said. The waiter nodded, turned and said,

"And what would-" He quickly realized he was serving a creature that he had never even seen before. The waiter stared at Lloyd for a few awkward seconds before Lloyd said,

"I guess I'll have what she's having." The waiter slowly nodded and ran back into the restaurant.

Within a few minutes, the waiter returned with the sandwiches and ran back in quickly. Clearly, he was afraid that Lloyd might hurt him.

"Ookkaaayyyy then....." Lloyd said.

"Sorry Lloyd, it's just that nopony has ever seen a creature like you before."

"I understand, don't worry about it. As a matter of fact, our species acts very much the same way towards foreign things." Lloyd said. While they talked over lunch, Lloyd quickly noticed something,

"No meat?" Twilight quickly looked at him in a shocked expression.

"You......eat meat?" Twilight stuttered.

"Yeah, but don't worry Twi, I'm omnivorous." Twilight quickly wiped the sweat from her head. After a few minutes, Twilight  asked Lloyd a few questions.

"I'm sorry, but I never asked you any questions."

"Alright then, fire when ready Twilight." Lloyd said.

"What are you?" Twilight asked.

"I'm a human, or homo sapien as we are scientifically named."

"Where do you live?" Twilight quickly shot out another question. This was gonna take a while.

"I live on the planet Earth, in the United States of America, specifically Pennysylvania." The questioning went on for a few hours, Twilight taking notes down about various things in the world that Lloyd used to live in.

"I guess we're finished then." Twilight said.

"Heh, about time Twilight, I was about to fall asleep." Lloyd replied. Twilight laughed.

"I guess we can go back to the library."

After walking back to the library, Lloyd quickly guessed that it was about 3:00.

"Twilight, could I go take a walk?" Lloyd asked.

"Um, I'm afraid somepony is going to have to escort you, and I'm quite busy."

"No problem, I'll just ask one of your friends." Lloyd said.

"Alright then, but make sure you come back if you can't get someone, and don't get into trouble, Celestia's orders." Twilight said.

"Yes, mum." Lloyd quickly laughed. Twilight then laughed with him.

"Bye, Twi!" Lloyd said.

"Goodbye!" Lloyd shut the door and quickly realized that he had no idea where the other ponies lived, only what they looked like.

"I guess I'll make due." Lloyd muttered. Lloyd began walking through town.

After walking around for about 10 minutes, the populace began getting used to seeing him. *I guess they're used to seeing odd creatures walk through town* He walked around town some more, until a flash of cyan and rainbow quickly flew into him, knocking him out cold. The last thing he saw was Rainbow Dash's beautiful magenta eys staring right at him.
