Chapter 8:

Stirring and groaning into my pillow I softly awoke, groaning as Celestia’s star poured golden light over my eyes “my morning upsets you?” a calm looking Celestia was in the corner of my room as I jumped in shock to the other side of the bed… “I told thou sister – we should have waited and knocked!” jumping again I moved to the other side of the bed. Sitting up I look at them both my blonde hair a complete spiky mess as it sometimes decides to do, “Morning” I manage sleepily yawning “ any particular reason to shock me so early?”
“Actually there is, Twilight will be along at 11AM after we have finished here; We have some questions for you” I rub my eyes before sitting up pulling the duvet “oki doki loki, how may I be of assistance?” Celestia trotted closer Luna and her stood either side of the bed, “I have your memories… your interests are fine we do not have any laws against it nor will we keep you here forever unless you give myself or Luna reason to distrust you. I however with the possession of your memories have to be honest; I believe your species would be a threat to our world I have searched your memories you know of something called a wormhole – can your species create them?” a serious atmosphere fell upon the room, “no, we do not have the science as of yet, we know in essence of what it is – you should search my memories of my physics teacher – we discussed the eventual use of trans-dimensional wormholes to explore our own universe.” Luna looked to Celestia who was concentrating I guessed upon my thoughts. After a short while Tia stopped and looked to me again “alright, I believe you; you do not have any method of traveling through a wormhole to our world, as far as you know. This causes a problem though if you didn’t cause that wormhole who did?” Tia was still stern however Luna looked happier – I don’t wish to think of what would’ve happened if they believed I was a threat. “We have a theory called Quantum theory; no one really understands quantum phenomenon unfortunately it means anything that can happen will at some point in time and space from house sized wormholes to life itself – I would be doubtful if I was looking upon this scientifically – however to take me and house without killing me or destroying the house and also to move me here to Equestria… its just too many probabilities at once. Its either chaos theory and quantum theory or something else has used them at its own whim to do this – and that in our world would need ridiculous power and knowledge to do that.”
I think it settled the princess’s minds for now although I think we were all thinking slightly what if…

Luna stifled a yawn, trotting to the door “We hope to see you again but we have the night court to attend tonight good day,” and with that Luna had left me with the older sister… one whom had 1000 years more diplomatic experience and was tenderly interrogating me – a very strange experience indeed.

Fear is a very odd emotion, called upon by the slightest and oddest occurrences to the mundane – as the old adage goes the only thing to fear is fear itself; in practice however it would seem I am not as courageous as I believe myself to be when staring at an immortal sun Goddess who has been through my thoughts and is now sitting silent… the silence is killing me not the knowledge of her power and knowledge about me; but the silence like a man with a gun pressed to the back of my head the trigger cocked… there’s just silence between the bang and being alive.

Thankfully the now quiet Goddess decided to release me from the torture as any great leader can in negotiations, “We have some talking to do… and I will let you know it is much harder to read through a lifetime of memories than you may think, even now there are hundreds of hours left for me to go through. However your recent memories puzzle and worry me; as Co-Ruler of this world I must not let it be destroyed, physically or psychologically as you might well do; accident or not. I will not be as insolent as to explain our world as a utopia… but it seems your world is hellish be it your own making or simply because it happened without fault of any individual.” Celestia was strict; I began to ponder which memories she had seen and which were still a secret to me.
“I will keep my word, eventually you will be allowed free in Equestria however it will be based upon your truthfulness here and the outcome of your answers.” I audiably gulped if it came to a question about humanity and the question was about war or some godforsaken incident I would have to try and argue it was not our finest moment – but how much could the Goddess forgive or understand?

“Firstly; we do have crimes in equestrian the royal guard also double as the police force – however in your memories, 3 years ago you were mugged correct?” I thought back to the incident my eyes grew wide and as about I was to protest “I WANT… to know why you 3 were so brutal in your fight.”

Well that does it I’m probably going to the dungeons… “Celestia, in my memory you remember they have a knife correct? She Nodded I mean not to push the subject but we don’t have magic, a stab or slice from a knife would kill anyone if they were unfortunate enough. When they didn’t leave after getting my wallet I knew then it was only 3 options, to fight and defend myself, to run or to scream for help… you know what I chose. You are right sometimes our world can be…hellish to everything not just humans – we sometimes need to be violent in justice to defend the weak. But I swear to you; that particular night I fought to save my own life and in using my knowledge of martial arts I did so in the most effective way with what I thought was the least amount of permanent damage, in all honesty it could have been more brutal, depending on the people fighting. I’m sorry to say but we are still a Predator species and we do still feel our primal urges.”
Celestia raised a brow but didn’t comment instead she moved to the next questionable point in my life. “Then why only a year after did you let a woman beat you with what your memories describe as an ancient torture device? Not only that but later in the same year you used it against a different woman?”

…

“Oh for the love of…” Celestia looked rather bemused “you really don’t have any … adult interests between different ponies … ahem … outside the normal Pony style?” Celestia’s eyes relaxed the environment changed a slight redness appeared around her cheeks and a small smile escaped her “ Oh; I’m so sorry I’ve been so busy and so focused I had completely forgot… her eyes a little sadder I know some subjects would probably find this as an interest however don’t tell Luna, she has missed 1000 years of cultural change I should probably talk to her about the changes especially since we managed to remove the stigma of two stallions together – two mares were never even sniffed at but stallions are in a slightly smaller amount if you look at our population as a whole” I was thankful the environment had changed into a less formal discussion rather than a information retrieval exercise.
“If its not too much to ask Celestia I think for now while I’m adjusting I would like to ask that those memories are not shared and for the same reason not to open the bag I told you about” Celestia smiled “Of course I will admit however upon opening some items we have found many new materials I am sorry the news was too large and although I try to respect everypony’s right to privacy I also had to try and stop many just barging in so I have only allowed them to look into a grey bag and the areas of your house we think to be… communal. It was the compromise I could make – my advisors and military advisors believe you to be a threat one most certainly heightened by a book with pictures of a great war – we cannot read your language but we can understand each other its fascinating.” I smirked as The princess took to a much more Twilight looking face – perhaps that’s where Twilight had gotten it. “ in any case another question of mine is: how does this… Lauren Faust know so much about us?”

the silence boomed around us while I thought… “I do not know I have a hypothesis though… you have magic and its something not possible as far as I know back in our universe, whereas we may just have the ability to perceive other realities as fictional works that are slightly changed by our own preferrances for instance you have said a great deal about violence and things which are not in the show – so when Lauren was unwittingly viewing it in her mind she was changing it slightly to suit her needs a friendly all ages wonderful show. Or to go to another option is the theory of multi-verse where for each decision of every quark and energy that is created, creates another universe where it does the opposite until each and every possibility is fulfilled and Lauren Faust just managed to create something very similar…”
Celestia lifted her Hoof to chin in deep thought I pondered if she was using my thoughts along with hers. “I also have one last question her eyes had returned to the same state of… aggression that had me worried but looked tranquil as a being Why… Why… growing a noticeable red is My flank and Plot Hole and other… images in your mind!?” she had gone from scary to terrifying “shit,” I felt an overwhelming urge to run… but I couldn’t “princess… I would like to apologize, for my… ability to turn you into the images within my memories – I am rather… ahem sexually open as far as to say I am attracted to any sentient creature, as long as I find their personality interesting and know enough as to whether I would like them. I am sorry and I’m sorry I can be a pervert but you took my memories I’m sure you have at least a few times looked at another and thought perhaps less than nobel thoughts?” I saw a smile form “I think we all have it just caught me off guard… it was a memory I only just accessed” now I could understand her if it had been days ago she might of already passed it off due to her wisdom of the millennia and reminding herself of how secret memories are I was sure she was thinking back on her own thoughts…” Oh my…” “What?” slight concern in my voice wondering what else she had discovered in my mind I felt very humiliated having a ruler go through them like some pile of facts about me total me every secret ME. “ You have many memories of a material I have never seen, it stretches its shiny like a metal but comes in many colours and you wear it! How wonderful what is it? Have you any here?”

I smirked finally feeling less stressed “you mean Rubber… I’m surprised you don’t have it seeing as you have balloons and all” Celestia raised a brow “we have balloons but they are made from the gum of a tree and do not have these qualities” I raised hand to chin – they should have it its latex from gum trees so why not rubber? I paused then shrugged “if you take me to my house and my big green bag I have some there.
