As days go by...

PROLOGUE

The dim glow of the TV barely illuminates your near empty living room.

It was getting late and staring at the screen for so long was making your eyes burn.

Getting up you decide to keep the remote in hand until you reach the sanctuary of your room. Turning on the hallway lights would just fry your retinas, and you need your retinas.

After bumping into several furnishings on the way you finally make it and switch off the TV. Thankfully tonight was hot as hell so you don't have to waste time with the damn blankets and just flop onto the mattress, falling asleep almost instantly.

***

Your consciousness begins to return as your senses restarted and you feel a chill seeping through your clothes. There was also something soft and warm in your arms, curling up and pulling it close you (very) slowly begin to realize that it should be the middle of summer...and you didn't have a 'heated plushie' or anything of the sort. so what the hell were you holding? And where were you? As these panicked thoughts tear through your mind you're shocked to a halt.

A door, creaks open and a very hushed voice approaches you "Mom? Are you up yet?" more stress clenches you like a vice, you weren't holding something, you were holding someone.

After a slight shifting beside you another voice whispers "Somepony's excited, don't worry scoots we'll get his present and be back here with plenty of time to spare. I AM the fastest pegasus in Equestria ya know, not to mention your dad's been juggling work, Wonderbolt academy AND still spending time with you for those lessons." {what the fuck?!} whoever these two were they planned on leaving soon, so it was now time to play the waiting game, THEN figure out what the fuck is going on.

"Yeah I know, and that's why I'm so excited about it, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he opens it." these two sounded so familiar but with your confusion, shock and tiredness recognizing them would have to wait. The presence in your arms began to move again, slowly, trying not to wake you. When they were free several soft, almost inaudible footsteps and ever distancing whispers signaled you were in the clear, so to speak. You carefully cracked open one eye and were greeted with a pleasantly dim room, completely white and oddly poofy looking. You looked down to the bed you lay on and checked it, it looked just like the rest of the room and felt very...what's the word-plush, yeah that.

Rubbing your eyes and swinging your legs out of bed your senses sharpen at the oddness of the floor beneath you, it felt just like the bed, ever so slightly firmer but nonetheless the same. "What the fuck IS this?" thoroughly scanning the walls individually you don't find a whole lot. Window, double doors possibly a wardrobe, dressing table and a few posters...posters that you had seen before. "Wonderbolts? Oh god...Wonderbolts." you mentally kicked yourself for not catching on earlier, not only were you not home...you were in EQUESTRIA.

Those voices mentioned the Wonderbolts as well as outright saying Equestria, and now, thinking back, you recognized them as Rainbow dash and Scootaloo. Upon finding this your knees give out, dropping you to the cloud floor below, Scootaloo said 'mom' and Rainbow said something about 'your dad'. Joining the dots wasn't hard...but everything about this was surprisingly beginning to scare you, you had a family, you were in another world, and how the hell did all of this happen overnight?

"Just be patient kido, and besides, it doesn't matter HOW early we get there if I don't have the bits for it." before you could even make a coherent thought the cyan mare trotted in and seems surprised "Oh, I didn't think you'd be up yet. Is everything okay?"

You struggle to control your panicked, no, confused mind and decide to be safe and play along "Yeah I'm fine, just thought I felt a hole in the bed." you shoot her a smile and she gives one of her own in return, trotting to the dresser and retrieving a small bag probably the bits she mentioned. She sets her bits in her saddle bag and gives you a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving.

"We'll be back in a few hours, just doing a little more hearths warming shopping." you walk her to the door and

act as casual as possible.

"Hey dad!" the excited orange filly on the ground, waving at you with a huge smile, warms your heart. You were going to find out how you managed to turn your life around, that was for damn sure. You wave the two of them off as they disappear over the horizon.

"Bye girls, don't have too much fun without me!"

Once they're out of sight you scramble back into your room and swing open the wardrobe. Quickly slipping into a pair of jeans and a hoodie you go over the game plan once more "Go to Twilight and get her to figure out what the fuck is happening." not exactly a complex plan but still a good one.

And so off to the library you go. The cloud home was very close to the ground, you could almost jump up to the front door. After a quick glance you find a small ramp to the ground almost blending with the snow "Great, fucking SNOW now." and start off down the road to Ponyville.

***

Thankfully the walk into town wasn't too long, though a bit eventful. you got half way to the library until a shopkeeper started haggling you, but after a minute or so you just  pulled the "Is that a dissatisfied customer?" and legged it. Now in front of the large tree home you take in the amazement of seeing it in person for a moment before knocking, the small purple dragon swings open the door, rubbing his eyes and slouching so far he looked just about ready to fall over.

"Yeah?" he grumbled, clearly unhappy at his early wake up.

"Um, sorry 'bout waking ya up so early buddy, I need to see Twilight." Spike sighed and waddled upstairs, soon after you heard him waking Twilight.

"Twilight, Riley's here." there was a muffled thump soon after and a bedraggled lavender mare slowly made her way down the stairs.

"Good morning Riley, your up early. What did you need?" you twiddled your thumbs and thought of how to break the news of your situation.

"Well, why don't you take a seat Twi." her face grew serious and she sat herself upon a large recliner beside the fireplace.

Twilight was anxiously awaiting your news as you paced back and forth trying to think of how to begin "Twilight, how long have I been in Equestria?"

She cocked her head, unsure of what you were getting at "Um, a little over 3 years now, why?" you processed her response and took a deep breath, preparing to deal with a frantic Twilight

"Well, I...I don't remember it." Twilight's face contorted into a more confused stare than before

"Uh, what do you mean, 'don't remember'?" oh god dammit

"I mean, I don't remember ANY of it. One minute I was in my bed back on Earth and when I woke up I was in bed with rainbow." NOW she was shocked

"Nothing?" you shook your head, the situation starting to get to you after thinking about rainbow and scootaloo "Oh Celestia, how did this happen!?"

"How the hell am I supposed to know, I've got fucking amnesia Twilight!" you wanted her to understand you frustration but now was not the time to go off at ponies, you had to focus. If you couldn't reverse it then the least you wanted was to know how it happened, and ridiculous questions like that weren't gonna do anything to help. "I'm sorry, but as you can understand I'm a little stressed out right now. I was hoping you could help, or call the princesses so they could." Twilight put her hoof to her chin and stepped of her chair.

"I'll do whatever I can."

"Thank you." her horn glowed and a wide beam swept over you.
