Micky's Equestrian Journal: Day 1

Previous Chapter

"Unnngh. That... was a crazy dream. Talking horses. I must have let my inner eight year old out for that dream."
"I will let you know that we are ponies, not horses."
"What do you mean, ponies? I mean..."

My voice trailed off as I looked away from the ceiling. There, standing in front of me, was a TALKING purple UNICORN. This was like, Harry Potter meets The Twilight Zone or something like that. Many a joke popped into my head.

"Uh, you, you're a unicorn."
"I'm Twilight Sparkle, and who, and what, are you?"
"For starters, I'm a human and my name is Micky. I'd like to stick to a first name basis, partially because I am lazy, and partially... well... mostly because I am lazy."
"Oh my... A completely new intelligent species... I must perform tests!"
"Oh, nonononono! If you'd excuse me I would like to go home... now. No experiments, no tests, nothing! I just want to go home"
"What's wrong Micky? My tests never hurt, you will be sedated and I will use my magic to repair anything i might have moved or... moved."
"Or Twilight, or... you could show me how you brought me here... and I can show you how to send me back. Sound like a plan?
"Well... I suppose Micky, but I would still like to learn more about you."
'You can do that while I am figuring out how to get home."
"Alright fine. Here is the book that houses the spell that brought you here, and here are the other books that came with it."

Twilight went over to her desk and, well, she levitated the four books over to me. I was still laying on the floor, where I had fallen when she had brought me here. I realized that my back hurt and probably could use a good chiropractor, although there probably weren't any half decent human chiropractors nearby, if any. In hindsight, there probably was someone who could have fixed my back.

After a quick skimming over of the books that Twilight gave me I decided that the best course of action that I could take would be to rebuild the original scene, where Twilight was standing and where the portal opened up, that might be the only way to get back home.

"Hey, uh, Twilight, can you show me exactly where you were standing?"
Twilight went silent for a moment, remembering exactly what happened, and then she moved over to be directly in front of one of her bookshelves and said:
"Here. I was standing right here when I cast the spell."
"Alright, and I landed over there, so thus the portal was opened about two feet in front of you! Oh that's wonderful, we know exactly where it opened! Now, all we need to do, well, all you need to do, is recast the spell from that same spot and I should be able to climb back into my universe!"

As Twilight set to work on recasting the spell I gathered up all of the stuff that had fallen into this universe with me.
"Hmmm, let's see what came with... Sonic Screwdriver Replica... Xbox 360 controller... Physics textbook... iPhone... and, wait, what is this? It isn't mine. It doesn't look like it belongs to Twilight. I guess I'll pocket it for now."
I had found a small metallic object, it could open at the top and there was a moon inscribed on the side. It felt familiar, but I don't think that I'd ever seen anything like it before. When it was sitting next to my sonic screwdriver I could barely tell them apart, in fact, I had almost picked it up instead of my screwdriver.

The place where I had been taken appeared at first glance to be a library, but if you look closely you could see that it was, in fact Twilight's home. ~~(I hope to god that she doesn't read this, but she really needs to, like, go out and have a party, or something, because all I can see right now is a 100% Grade-A nerd)~~

Several minutes later Twilight looked over at me and gasped:
"I... I just can't recast the spell right now, t- too low on energy."
"Twilight I can wait, trust me, besides, there is a big world out there that I can explore!"

After a few minutes of arguing over whether or not I should go outside and retreading old ground, Twilight begrudgingly let me leave... after turning me invisible... and unable to talk.

What felt like several hours later I gave up trying to explore, having found nothing of importance. I just felt tired. I was gonna go find somewhere to sleep in Twilight's house.
