1 - Weird dreams

"Come here Tom, you can choose now, accept or run away."

Tom slowly shifts back to reality. "What a weird dream, I shouldn't be drinking so much coffee late at night."

"Time for breakfast!" he says as he goes to the kitchen and takes out a few loafs of bread and looks into the fridge.

"Cheese again then, I should really go the the shop today." he says because there's only cheese left.

"Oh yeah, I have a day of today, well, good timing." He eats his simple breakfast and puts some clothes on. He leaves the house and locks the door.

'So cheese, salami, chicken filet and bread should do' he thinks to himself making a mental shopping list.

He enters the shop and searches the things he listed, goes to the cashier and pays the bill. The rest of the day he was going to do some things for work to catch up a little and watch TV. As he unlocks the door he hears some stumbling inside. He quickly opens the door and finds himself standing in front of someone, or better somepony he knows very well. As he looses consciousness and falls to the ground she says "Hello, I'm... " and then everything goes black

He wakes finding himself lying on the couch surrounded by eight ponies that he all knows.

"Are you alright?" asks Celestia.

"Well, I don't know." he says in deep thoughts. "Or I've gone crazy, or you're really in my house."

"Well, first of we're really in your house and secondly, you fell unconscious right in front of me."

"I know as much." he says.

"Okay then, who are you exactly?" Rainbow Dash asks.

"Well, I'm Tom, and from what I can tell you're Rainbow Dash, element of loyalty. Your friends are Pinkie Pie, element of laughter, Fluttershy, element of kindness, Applejack, element of honesty, Rarity, element of generosity, Twilight Sparkle, element of magic and the princesses, Celestia and Luna." Her mouth hangs wide open, just as the rest of them have their mouths wide agape, except for Celestia, who's smiling.

"You know a lot, more than I thought you would. Well that speeds up a few things as introducing ourselves isn't necessary." Celestia says, still smiling widely.

"Now, why did we come here you might ask. Well, because of you." He stares plain at her as he processes what she just said.

"Wait, what do you mean?" he says after a few seconds.

"What I mean is that you are selected to be my representative in this world."

"No, it can't be me! This is a mistake!" he says in total panic.

"No, if you are Tomas Geoffrey a.k.a Tom then it's you I'm looking for." she says calmly.

"No no no no!" and he blacks out again.

He wakes up alone with no light in the room. "It must be nighttime if it's so dark." He stands up and walks to his bedroom. When he opens the door he sees the 8 ponies lying calmly sleeping on his bed. "The couch it will be then." he says defeated. He goes back to the living room and he lays down on the sofa. After a few minutes he falls asleep.

"Well hello there, Tom." Luna says.

"Wait, how did you enter my, oh yeah." he says remembering that Luna can enter dreams.

"What do you guys wan't from me? And is Celestia kidding that I'm her representative in this world?"

"First of, my sister isn't joking when she says such things. We have waited 284 years for you to be born and grown old enough to understand what's happening. And what do we wan't from you? Well I honestly have no idea, you'll have to ask my sister about that."

"Okay." he says a little surprised.

"Well, good dreams then." Luna says while fading away.

The next morning he's been woken up by Applejack, who's violently shaking him.

"What!" he says annoyed.

"Well hello sugarcube." she says in her typical accent "I need to get you to princess Celestia so she can give you the ability to use magic."

"What! AWESOME!" I scream through the house. "What kind of magic exactly?" I ask curious.

"Ah don't know, I guess unicorn magic."

"Well good morning Tom, now you should have already heard I'm going to give you the ability to use magic. Have you ever seen another human use it?" Celestia asks

"No, only illusions that others call magic." I say.

"Okay, are you ready?"

"One last question princess, is it going to hurt?" I ask trying to prepare myself.

"I don't know, but I don't think it will." she says in all honesty.

"Okay, then I'm ready." She starts the spell and I'm lifted into the air. The next moment I immediately regretted that decision. It hurt like hell! There's no way to describe the pain I felt that moment. The worst was that it was all over my body. A few seconds later I blacked out, again.

He wakes up surrounded by  all the eight ponies who have been staying for a day by now. Celestia asks

"How do you feel?"

"Tired." he says completely out of energy and in need of some more sleep.

"Did it hurt?"

"A lot. What did change to me?" he immediately asks.

"Well, you can use magic now, but you will still have to learn how, and that's what my sister is going to learn you. She will enter your dreams and learn how you can use magic, so it doesn't conflict with your daily life."

"And when I know everything I need to know, what will happen then?"

"Well, you need to go to the rulers of this planet and tell them that you need to better your life's or most of you will die, except for the ones that already do good in their life."

"So, how long is that going to take?"

"I don't know but I estimate two to three months."

"Well, what are you guys going to do now?"

"We will leave and come back again in a month to check what progress you made, and some extra lessons from me."

"Well, goodbye then."

"Goodbye, oh, one last thing. Tell as least people as possible, we don't wan't to be discovered."

"Au revoir." he says in his best French accent.

"Goodbye." they all say together.
