They Say That Everything Happens For a Reason

Finally having arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, I set out to find Apple Bloom, I had a promise to fulfill. I ran into Applejack.
“Uh, Mr. Walker, what are ya’ll doing here?”
“I’m looking for Apple Bloom, I made her a promise, and I intend to keep it.”
“Erh, alrighty then Mr. Walker. She’s that-away.”
Applejack pointed in the direction of a small clearing.
I headed over, Apple Bloom was doing something crazy with a flame-thrower.
“Hey Apple Bloom, need any help?”
“Is that you Mister-Blankflank?”
“Yeah Apple Bloom, it is.”
“Then, yeah, I could use some help.”
“What with?”
“Can you hand me that fuel?"
I saw several cans of what must have been flame-thrower fuel sitting on the ground, I saw a good excuse to try out my magic on something somewhat heavier. I moved them up to where Apple Bloom wanted them and then flew up and over her line of fire to say hi. She looked at me and asked:
“How did ya’ll get over here? I didn’t hear ya trot over.”
“Oh, Apple Bloom, I flew up here.”
“Wait, you’re not a unicorn?”
“Apple Bloom, I’m an Alicorn. I have both a horn and wings.”
I flapped my wings once.
“I can see that now. Sir, I just realized, I never asked what your name is.”
“Apple Bloom, my name is World Walker.”
“That name, it sounds, fitting for you Mr. Walker.”
“I know Apple Bloom. It was decided when I was found.”
“What do you mean, when you were found?”
“I was not born in Equestria, but I was found here: in Ponyville, and given my current name.”
“I-I’m sorry Mr. Walker.”
“Why are you sorry Apple Bloom?”
“Mr. Walker, I never knew that you don’t have a family here.”
“Don’t worry about me Apple Bloom, I’ve been on my own for a long time. It doesn’t really hurt anymore.”
“Hey! Mr. Walker, maybe it would be safer if you, uh, let me try to get this cutie mark."
"Gladly Apple Bloom."

I flew back to Ponyville as fast as I could, not wanting to be set on fire by a filly that doesn't know how to use the tool that she had in her hooves.

Knowing that I would have to go to my work at Sugarcube Corner the next week, I had to get to work on finding my way to Canterlot, to see the princesses. I had business to discuss with them.

/)*(\

First off on the list of ideas on how to get to Canterlot was to ask Twilight Sparkle to take me to see Princess Celestia, I knew that the chances of this working were small, but they were the best chances out of all of my ideas.
“Hey Twilight, could you take me to Princess Celestia?”
“Why would I do that Walker?”
“Because you found an Alicorn in Ponyville that wasn’t in Equestria for one day before you met me.”
“I guess that’s an excuse.”
“Now Twilight, please take me. I need to see the Princesses.”
“All right Walker…”

So, the next day we were on a train to Canterlot, and I was wearing the suit that Rarity had given me, somewhat surprised that I had actually found a use for it.

And just like that, I was taken to meet Princess Celestia.
The moment I walked into the castle I was told by a guard that she would be with me in a moment. Due to the fact that I had some time, I used it, inspecting the tapestries, looking at the paintings, that sort of thing. And then she walked into the room, Princess Celestia.
She took one look at me and her regal composure instantly broke, she had a look of shock so apparent that even a stone Discord could see it.
“How did you get here? We- Sister! I need your assistance!”
“Um, Princess Celestia, ma’am, I just arrived here yesterday, can you tell me what is going on?”
“I’ll leave that to my sister.”
She looked almost angry that I was there, as if I had done something wrong.
A couple of minutes later Princess Luna walked in. The look in her eyes was not one of surprise, but one of joy. I almost didn’t want to know why.
“You made it here? How?”
“Princess Luna, I convinced Twilight Sparkle to take me to Princess Celestia.”
“I see that you have the manipulative abilities of your father.”
“Wait, how do you know my father? My biological father!?!”
“Yes, your biological father Mr. Smith.”
“How do you know my human name?!?!?! Actually, how do you know that I am a human?”
“Does that dark blue of your coat remind you of anypony else?”
“Are you saying that we- no. We can’t be related. I’m just crazy, my brain is creating up this crazy dream, I must be in a coma or something.”
“No Mr. Smith, I am your mother.”
“WHAAAA?!?! My mother!?! So, I am born of a- a fictional character?!? That’s impossible! I must be dreaming.”
“Do not insult me by calling me a fictional character my child!”
And that was my first nervous breakdown since I was told that I was adopted. I was basically babbling to myself for the next three days, so Princess Luna gave me a room to stay in until I was better. Once I finally accepted that I was either fully crazy… or this was real, and it would be better either way to just play along I began mapping out a plan to do something I have wanted to do since I first became a Brony… Bring the Mane Six into the human world, as humans.

But before I could go back to Lun- my mother I decided that I must test that what she says is true, so, I willed myself into believing that I was just a Unicorn. I could feel the very molecules in my wings fizzle as they left our reality. I walked over to the nearest mirror, and they were gone. Still in front of the mirror, there was a small popping noise, and my wings were back, within the course of five minutes I had figured out how to change what type of pony I am. I attempted to hybridize myself, to make myself half pony, half human, it didn’t work the way I had expected. I made myself into a centaur. I decided the best course of action to escape this ghastly form was to make myself fully human and then revert back to my pony form.

I waited until morning and then set out to find Luna, knowing that her nightly duties were done.
“Luna, Mother, how did I get here from Earth?”
“You willed yourself here. It is part of your power.”
“Willed myself here? What else can I do?”
“I honestly don’t know, you are the only Halfling that this world has ever known.”
“Actually, if I know correctly, there is one or two other. Lyra, because your sister made her a pony, and Discord.”
At the mention of Discord’s name Luna’s face looked troubled, as if somehow he was connected to this.
“Mother, I must know, am I somehow related to Discord?”
“I don’t know. But on the day of your birth, he appeared.”
“I understand! Every action has an equal and opposite reaction! When I was born, the universe had to even itself out! I would be too powerful all on my own!”
“That – was exactly my theory, how did you know my son?”
“Back on Earth that was common knowledge, one of Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of nature.”
“Oh.”
“Wait, I was born over 1000 years ago!?”
“Yes, you are actually the reason that I was sent to the moon by Celestia.”
“I-I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be sorry my son, I’d do anything for you.”
Holy cheesy line Batman! If I hadn't heard her say that myself even I would say that it was bull. Anyway, our conversation went on for a while until she asked me something…
“Would you please attend the Grand Galloping Gala for me? I cannot attend because of my duties.”
“The Grand Galloping Gala? Well, sure, I do have the suit. I guess.”
I knew that it would be a fun Gala, otherwise I wouldn't have accepted her invitation.
