The Chronicles of QuickStomp

The ponies stared at the strange creature that now lay passed out in front of the machine it came from. Everyone there, which consisted of Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Vinyl, Octavia, both Princesses and several guards, stood in shocked silence. Rainbow Dash was the first to speak up. "Wha-what just happened?"

Princess Luna spoke up next," It appears that thou strange and hideous creature has lost thy consciousness!"

Twilight and Celestia both walked over to the limp body lying on the floor.

"It appears to be some sort of biped, much like a monkey." Twilight states, prodding your unconscious form with a hoof.

Celestia ran a hoof through your hair.  "And what a strange mane! The thing also appears to be almost no hair anywhere else!"

Vinyl, Applejack and Rainbow Dash walked over to the strange machine that lay upside down in the library. Applejack spun one of the wheels with her hoof. "What the hay is this thing? Ah ain't ever seen anythin' like it before."

Rarity approached your body as well, captivated by the clothing you wore. "My goodness, I have never felt anything quite like this before! This material," she fondled your polyester hoodie, "is so soft! I wonder what major occasion it was going to to dress up this fancy!"

Celestia turned to the guards that stood rapt at attention by the side of the room. "Please rope off the library, and fetch my portable laboratory kit," Two Pegasus flew off while she said this, while the rest went outside. Celestia turned, and was about to say something, when all of a sudden Pinkie Pie hopped up from behind the machine.

"HEY EVERYPONY! THERE'S SOME SORT OF WIERD OBJECTS IN HERE!" Pinkie slaps the underside of the car and a hatch from the back falls open, revealing two bagged objects and a large metal box.

Princess Luna runs over to the bags immediately.

"The creature brought weapons! We should detain it at once!" She yells

"Shouldn't we open the bags first, your highness?" Rarity asks.

Celestia glared at her fellow alicorn. "We should never jump to conclusions, my dear sister. Remember Nightmare Night?"

Luna blushed, remembering that misunderstanding, before stammering out an apology.

Celestia turned to the ponies around the car."Could someone please take out those objects and remove the bags? Thank you. Oh, and Ms. Philaharmonic, right?" Octavia snaps to attention like an army solider apon realizing Princess Celestia was talking her.

"Do you think that you could assist Miss Fluttershy outside? This seems to be a little too much for her."

Ever since you climbed out of your car, Fluttershy has been curled up in a corner, shaking from fright.

As Octavia went over to comfort Fluttershy, Vinyl and Applejack pulled the two oddly shaped bags out from the car. Vinyl let a surprised gasp when they pulled out the black box. Princess Luna immediately turned on her.

"What is it, unicorn? Why doth thou sound shocked?"

"I-I-I recognize this!" Vinyl squeaks out. Instantly everypony turned towards her.

"It's not exactly one, but this thing looks a lot like my speakers I use for my shows!" she fiddles with the knobs on the speaker-thing.

"Maybe whatever's in these bags do sumthin' with that!" Exclaims Applejack. Using her teeth and hoovepower, she rips the black fabric surrounding one of the bags, revealing a bright red stringed object.  "What in tarnation- a...guitar?"

At the mention of the instrument's name, both Octavia's and Rainbow Dash's ears perk up. Applejack soon found herself being shoved out of the way by everyone, but especially the latter two.

"It doesn't look like a regular guitar..."murmured Twilight.

"That's because it's a fairly new instrument on the scene, called Magically Amplified Sound(MAS) guitars." responded Octavia."Our classical guitarist in the orchestra was thinking of trying one out."

"Though this doens't look like any I've seen in the magazines, though. It's not a Soaring Z, or one of those german ones!" Rainbow announced.

Rarity looked over at your (still) unconscious body. " So, dear, you mean to tell me that thing, is a musician?"

Rainbow ripped open the other bag, revealing another guitar, only it was white and had only four strings.

"Seems so." said Vinyl.

Pinkie jumped out of- yes out of- Celestia's mane before yelling," WHOOOHOOO! THIS DESERVES A PARTY! A 'we-found/summoned-an- alien-musician one!" Twilight, Rarity, and Applejack gave her such death stares that Pinkie stood up and pretended to keel over. "Fine. Later, though?"

Princess Celestia steeped forward. "Now the only thing that remained to do is tidy the library and question the c-"

A deep groan from behind the ponies shattered the investigation.

You lift your head off the ground, shaking the dead cells that floated in front of your eyes out for the second time that day. What, you think, the hell? That was the weirdest dream I've had in.... Your train of thought derails as you take in your surroundings.

Funny, this looks just like the library in that dreeeeeeewaaaaiiit.

You turn around, facing the curious and slightly scared faces of a bunch of colorful ponies...and unicorns...and pegasus...

"Alright, James? Lisa? This isn't funny anymore!" You hear the panic in your voice start to rise as you call out to your bandmates, thinking that they are pranking you. Again.

"It talks! It can talk!" one of the ponies, a pink one, pops up in front of you, causing a slight cardiac arrest occur."Hi there! I'm Pinkie Pie! Who are you? Or more importantly, what are you? You look reeeeallly funny! What's with the weird clothes? Do you like parties? I looooove parties! In fact, we should have one to welcome yo-" a light blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane flies over and puts her hoof in the pink one's mouth.

"Pinkie, I think we should let the Princesses handle this...thing,"

You wince at being called a thing. It just didn't feel right.

"Who are you calling a 'thing'? You're a fucking flying horse!"

"Yeah, and? You got something against pegasus, whatever you are? And I'm a flying pony, not a horse, For your informat-"

"Pegasus aren't real! Neither are unicorns! Or talking horses!"

"Ponies."

"Whatever! Oh my god," You note the two larger ponies, the white one and the black one, narrow their eyes at you when you take the lord's name in vain,"I'm dreaming right!? Someone please tell me I'm dreaming! This isn't real this isn't real this isn't-" you are cut off by a large book slapping you across the face.

The other ponies turn around, facing a white unicorn in the back with purple glasses, whose horn was glowing. "What? It was freaking me out!"

You finally feel something snap after being referred to a thing again. You pull yourself up to full height, which is about 1/4 higher that the tallest one, and begin walking toward them. "Ok, first, I'm a human! I have a name! I'm not a thing! Second, where on Earth am I! I want answers right now or I swear to-URK!"

Your rant is cut off when one of the ponies, an orange one wearing what looks like a cowboy hat, spins around and kicks you. Of course, due to hight difference, it hits in one of the worst places for a guy to be hit in.

The pain overtakes your whole body as your voice turns into a high pitched squeak. You flop to the floor, gasping for air as you cup your bruised area. The orange one walks over to you. "Now listen here, Mister Human," she sneers at you,"No one and nothing threatens my friends. Now get up, I didn't even buck you that hard."

A puzzled look comes over her face when you remain on the floor."Uh, Mister?"

"AJ! We have no idea what the human is capable of! You could of just started it's-"

You slowly starts to get up, and back up from the ponies.

"Sorry! Sorry! I didn't mean to do anything! It's just... Ok, let's start from the beginning." you take a deep breath, still in pain from the kick. "Where am I?"

The tall white pony, the one with both a wings and horn, looks at the purple unicorn that spoke up and nods it's approval. The purple one begins speaking.

" I am Twilight Sparkle," she begins, but falters as she sees you snicker into your sleeve. " What? What's funny?"

"Nothing, nothing." you say, before giving her your name in return.

"Okaaay... Well, due to a inter-dimensional teleportation spell I was attempting, you have been pulled from your world and placed in ours, which is located in a different dimension entirely."

"Wait, spell? As in magic?"

"Why, yes. All unicorns can do magic. How do you think Vinyl  Scratch hit with that book?"

You rub your face, remembering that. "Oh, Yeah."

"So, due to an unfortunate, disturbance," Twilight casts a glare at Vinyl and a grey pony wearing a bow tie," I lost control of my magic and made the portal about twenty times larger than it needed to be. That's when your machine passed through it, and you ended up here, in Equestria."

You think though the events leading up to now, and chuckle to yourself.

"Well, Miss Sparkle..."

"Just Twilight is fine, thank you."

"Well then, Twilight, it seems I owe you some gratitude. You see, if I had not passed through that portal, I would be trapped at the bottom of a river in my car." You gesture at the metal wreck that lied at the end of the room.

"Uh," Twilight hesitated, as though not expecting that. "You're... Welcome?"

"Next question. Are you all ponies in this universe?"

"Oh, no. We've got griffins, dragons, changelings..." your mouth slowly falls open as she lists several other mythical creatures, when you notice your guitar and your friend's bass on the ground.

"Hey," you point at the instruments on the floor."Why's my stuff on the ground?"

"Just checking for any weap-"

"Just getting your stuff! Alien technology and all! Heh, heh," Twilight is cut off by the light blue (cyan! That's the colour!) pegasus, who places her hoof in Twilight's mouth. You raise an eyebrow at the strange explanation, then shrug.

"Well, at least I haven't been detained or tortured by anyone yet..."

"My gosh! Who would do such a thing?" said the tall white pegasus/unicorn combo (you later learn that they're called alicorns).

"Well, back in my world, if anyone should show up like I just did, our government would probably freak out, or the Americans would do something..."

"That's terrible... Nopony should be treated like that!"

"Yeah...Listen, I thank you for saving me and everything, but I really should get back to my dimension, so of you don't mind..."

"Oh! Of course! You should get back before your friends start worrying!"

She turns to Twilight, who is avoiding your gaze and rubbing her hoofs together.

"Ummmmm, well... You see...." she mumbles, when it occurs to you that she is avoiding the question. A growing sense of dread, cold and unforgiving, begins to build in your chest.

"When you came through, I picked a universe at random... There's actually no known way to choose a universe. And there's an endless amount of universes... I'll try, but I highly doubt that I can find your universe again..."

The seriousness of what she says crunches into you like a sledgehammer. You fall to your knees, as the faces of your family, friends, and co-workers race through your mind. You gulp, your eyes beginning to water.

"So I'm...stuck here? Forever?"

"...Yes."
