Life is funny. I was just a normal 15 year-old brony, living the casual high school life. But one day, an unsuspected visitor came into our world and messed everything up.

My name is James Fullmer, I lived a normal (somewhat) life in earth. But then Discord found something that Celestia and Luna didn't know... I am an ancient Guardian of Equestria. I can't turn back now, Discord sent me here to serve my role as an Elder Pony, I intend on doing so.

Chapter 1: Encounter With the Lord of Chaos

I opened my eyes and I saw a dark shadow lingering over me as if watching me die, I wanted to look away from the stare of bright white eyes that peered into my darkest soul. But I only managed to focus on the glare from death, I'm guessing that's what it is. But then I heard a voice calling for me, almost pulling me farther from the shadows.

"Hero, Hero wake up !" The voice was faint but I could still hear it. "Hero don't do this to me, Equestria needs you...I need you."

"L-Luna?" I managed to ask in a shaky voice.

"Hero, Hero come on get up we need you now." The voice said once again. But then I felt a sharp pain in my head, it was unbearable.

This is it, I'm dying here and now. I thought to myself as what little lights became brighter in my vision.

I woke up from my slumber, the nightmare I was having, scratch that, been having for a while now was getting more life like every second. I was covered in sweat, whatever was happening in my dreams were intense. I slid off my bed and grabbed some clothing for the day ahead of me.
Six A.M. and I have to be at school by Seven? What could I possibly do to kill time? I thought to myself as I walked to the bathroom to cleanse my body from my dark dream sins, as I was putting my clean folded wearing material on the sink I look at a nearby mirror. Only to see a drained face with messy hair, and slight stubble staring back at me. My life is just a whole fucking big, long routine. I thought as I went to take a nice, and badly needed shower.

As the water as if it was from Satan himself, was hitting my body as I thought about what I was doing with my life, sure I am a brony some people don't consider that good on some terms, but other then that there was no excitement in my shallow shell that is my life. A half hour passed and I finished my shower and throw on my interesting clothing choice, I walk back into my room and gather my needed things.

"Lets see." I began speaking my thoughts. "Wallet, check, key to house, check, phone, check."

I looked around the room for something that was screaming to get my attention, other then my laptop, which I intend to keep not stolen from me, nothing seemed fit. I passed some brief minutes watching television, mainly weather channel, then grabbed my Hoodie and i Pod before taking off to a place where it feels like hell, school. After locking my door I started my i Pod and pushed play, then began my daily routine of walking to the beat of wubs and other songs caged inside my music device. It was so cold outside that I could see my breath when I talked, of course no one thinks that a dessert, like St.George would be so cold, guess again I nearly had to cover every part of my body around Christmas time.

Utah has never doubted me when it came to extreme weather patterns, from over 100 degree blazing summers, to -5 winters, the state of Utah has been eye opening weather wise. Before I knew it I was at Pine View High School, normally when I get here only the lunch ladies and about two to three janitors are here so I opened one of the many doors leading into the high school and wondered the halls for about another half hour.

Maybe I could work on some projects that are going to be late soon. I chuckled on the inside about that thought, I mouthed to myself
"What work?"

So I went on with my daily trend around the school, it was dull and boring of course. What else would I do when none of my other friends were here? Once I was around the science hall, I heard a voice I wish I never heard had I known what was ahead of me.
"Tsk, tsk pity human, will your life ever be exciting?" The voice was louder then my music, and that's saying something.

"H-hello?" I asked into the what seemed to be an empty hall. There was no response so I just thought I was thinking about the newest episode at the time 'Keep calm and Flutter on' too much I decided to just shrugged it off. Few minutes later I was near the front end of the school when I saw my friend walking into the school, he's the reason of why I am a brony.

"Hey Dakota, whats up?" I asked shaking my head up as I spoke.

"Sup." Dakota said in a deep and brunt voice.
He was about 6 feet tall and was just about the most skinniest person I've ever met in my life.

"Nothing much, although I think I heard someone talk to me in the science hall, like Discord or something." I said with the thought of his voice bugging me at the moment.

"Eh, probably just thinking about the new episode too much." Dakota said in a tone that sounded like he didn't care, I don't know if he didn't care but that was his normal tone for everything.

Just imagine him having sex. I thought to myself chuckling on the inside.

We spent the next hour or so talking about video games, how much school sucked, and of course ponies before the bell rang to go our separate ways to class. My first class was Language Arts, I know what a way to start the day. After learning about commonly misused and misspelled words, the bell rang to excuse us to our next class I tried my best to beat the rush hour in the hallways to get to the other side of the school for my next class when suddenly I heard him again.

"Sigh, James I think your expecting too much out of your simple and boring life." The voice said in a disappointed tone.

I stopped in the middle of the hallway, stunned at what I just heard. I would of responded to what I just heard but kinda figured, having someone yell 'what are you talking about?' is kinda weird, and this is coming from my mind. So I just rushed on to my class, besides maybe playing my trumpet will calm me down a bit. After reaching my destination I walked towards my locker case holding my musical instrument, and started placing the music sheet that we were practicing on neatly on my stand while I was putting together my trumpet when I saw him, Discord standing right in front of me. I did what any normal person would do and freaked the fuck out running out of the room, my teacher seeing my weird action yelled at me as I was running out the door.

"Where the hell are you going?"

I ran up stairs, past ramps, and through stragglers in the hallways into a deserted bathroom. I went into the nearest unlocked stall, and locked it breathing slightly calmer after doing so. I started trying to calm myself down by any ways possible, taking deep breaths and telling myself I'm not going insane.

"It was just an illusion, it was just an illusion." Just then Discord teleported right in front of me.

"Oh stop acting like this is all new to you, I thought Luna was giving you visions on what I'm here for." He said in a pish posh tone.

How did he know about my nightmares? I thought to myself before speaking.
"You're not real, you're a cartoon character made for little girls!" I yelled not caring who heard me.

"Oh really then can a cartoon character do this?" Discord then slapped me on the face leaving a red mark in the shape of a lion's paw on my right cheek.

"Ah, ow, what the fuck, how did you do that?"I asked him loudly.

"See if I were a cartoon character that mark wouldn't even be there." Discord said mocking my voice.

"Okay, say if you are real, which I am finding that really hard to believe, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Man, you're not that smart aren't you," Discord said giving me a look that practically screams 'are you kidding me?'
"You see James, I am here to take you to a magical place I think you might like it, called Ponyville!" He said in a corny happy voice.

I was seeing his plan, he wanted me to go in there to distract the ponies long enough to take over again with chaos, but I saw through it.
"As much as I would love to see Equestria and Derpy I'm afraid I'm going to say no to your offer, Discord." I said feeling brave that I found out a partial plan.

"I didn't offer an option for you, you are going and that's final." He said in a powerful tone.
I unlocked the stall and ran for it but before I could get outside the bathroom I felt like I hit a brick wall made out of soft fur.
"You think I'm going to let go that easily? Ha! No one can outsmart me, you of all humans should know this, James."

He walked over to me trying his best to corner me, I found many ways out of his traps but somehow I ended up back into the stall from before.This looks like the end for me. As I heard that thought in my head I shivered, I didn't want to die not now I had so much to look forward too. Discord looked at me and grinned, he then pulled that halo around his head act like he did in the episode. I closed my eyes, I didn't want to see my death come towards me, not now, not ever. I heard him snap his fingers and seconds later I was falling I opened my eyes and saw a never ending swirl of lines and colors, I yelled to the point to where my voice couldn't be heard anymore. This is it James, you're falling to your death. I thought as I closed my eyes and waited for the impact.

Soft, thin, and almost pointy grass broke my fall, I looked up but couldn't see anything so I put my head back down and yelled hoping that someone could hear me.
"Help, Help me for the love of god help!"
My hoarse voice was breaking and I was losing my focus on trying to stay awake, I didn't hear anything until almost five seconds before I blacked out, what I heard was the sound of hoofs coming to my almost limp body.

Chapter 2: The Land of Ponyville

I fell on the ground and coughed up some blood as I was slowly getting back up. I was shaking really bad for fear of seeing death with my own eyes. Another blow of strong magic hit me and sent me flying across the cave I was hoping to find rejoice in, but had only fallen into a trap. I looked up and stared at my attackers. One was a red pony with Dragon wings and a black and red mane, the other was a grey unicorn with white hair, his magic was stronger than mine by a landslide. I crawled to my sword and went to go for a deadly swing only to get hit by two strong legs from behind. I fell down again and started shaking from the pain, I was planning on getting back up.

"Silent, you can't lose now, Equestria can't survive without you." This was the same voice from before.

"Don't worry p-princess, I'm doing my best." I grunted in a real shaky tone. I was almost halfway up when the cave I was defending myself in started fading away, as did my attackers. The whole scenery was turning white, I just sighed deeply and sat down. I was going to take a well needed break from all the things I've been doing because right now, this is my own fortress of solitude.

I was woken painfully thanks to me tossing and turning during my slumber. My midsection felt like it was on fire and figured it would be wise to just sit there and observe my surroundings. Sadly that thought came after I tried to sit up to look out the window to see where I was. God, this hurts! I'm an idiot for trying to sit up, now then where am I? My mind wandered as my eyes gazed the room I was in. Turns out I was in the hospital, don't know what for yet, and the heart monitor was beeping at a steady rate, guess that means I'm healthy. There was a nightstand next to me that held two things, my wallet and another thing that I'd never seen in my life, I reached out to grab it so I could find out what it possibly could be, but instead of my normal arm and hand there was something in it's place that in normal situations I would be as happy as a gay guy at a chip'n dales show. There was no sign about where I was and I fell from the sky though, so I was scared shitless as well. Because what I saw was a kinda pale blue forearm and a hoof with ice blue color design on it.

I stared at my hoof for a while, hoping that this was just a dream, a really messed up dream. I felt my face the hoof was kinda hard to give feeling as to what it looked like. So I through off the sheets hoping to see my legs, nope, I saw a good pair of horse rear end legs, I rolled onto the side and hoped off, only to have my face meet with the floor. I grunted in pain but then had to go to something that would show me what I look like. There was a mirror not far from me, but since there was...difficulties with my feet I had to crawl there. As I was crawling a alarm went off getting nearby doctors and nurses attention. I was at the mirror now as I climbed up on the wall and moved into the view of the mirror. At that time the door bust open and I guess security was there as well because two huge ponies with bodybuilder strength came and grabbed me.

If you ask any pony that was witnessing the happening of that room they would say it took a few seconds to go through, but in my eyes, it felt like an eternity, not because of my pain, not because of my struggle to keep balance, but because of what I saw with my own eyes. A coat that was pale blue with my hoofs having a design like it was on fire that was ice blue, my hair was the same color as my coat on some sections of it there was that ice blue color, then I saw a worried face that held deep sharpie eyes. I didn't fight the earth ponies, to be quite honest the shock as is would of left me laying on the ground. I went calmly to my bed as they were putting everything back in place when I looked out the door and saw a lavender pony that stood there scared of me, I wonder if someone from my world was sent with me and found me? Highly unlikely but worth a shot to ask, I had to wait for the hospital ponies to finish on me with all the machines and what not. It didn't take long for them to finish up leaving me and a strange unicorn alone in the room. I didn't know what to say to her, I don't know her, but I'm guessing who she could be if I was guessing where I was.

"Are you okay?" She asked in a worried type of tone that sounded like a scared mother.

"Uhh, other then my gut feeling like someone burned it, I'm fine." I replied.

" Whew, good to hear that your fine, hopefully the medicine will fix that." She smiled.

" So, uhh were you the one that found me?" I tried my best to hide my blush asking this.

Of course she is you dumbass, why else would she worry for your health?

" Yes I am, I was in the Everfree forest looking for a rare flower to use in one of my studies, then I heard a loud thud and heard you shouting for help." She looked scared reciting my story.

"I'm sorry if I scared you." I stated hoping that she would feel safer around me. I'm right I might know who she is now.

"Well you did fall from the sky so I would be a tad bit jumpy around that unicorn." She tried joking. Unicorn? Guess that means Discord turned me into my OC, Great but which one? I had an Alicorn one and a Unicorn one but since my wings were making me feel slightly uncomfortable laying on them I figured I was the Alicorn one.

"So, uhh whats your name?" I asked already knowing the answer.

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I work at the local Library, whats you name?"

"Uh, my name is...," I could say any name if I wanted to. Should I say my real name? No I'm in Ponyville I know that much at least so I'm gonna start a good life by saying what I named myself if I were a Pony. "my name is Silent Hero."

God I should of said something cool before hand, oh well. My mind told me.

"Silent Hero, that's an interesting name to have." Twilight had her head cocked to her left, showing she was confused.

"Well I changed my name after I moved out of Manehatten, I wanted to help out ponies without asking for anything in return."

Smooth

Twilight came closer to me and stared right into my eyes, "No, you're lying I can tell by how your eyes twitch." She pointed out with a little rage in her eyes.

" Okay, fine you caught me, I'm not from Manehatten." I told her sheepishly.

"Then tell me where you're from, I did save your life I should know that at least right?"

She's right she has a right to know at least that much about me. I was thinking about what to say but there was nowhere I could say, of all the ponies who had to save me why did it have to be the smartest one? "Look Twilight, I really want to tell you where I'm from but I can't really have open ears knowing, you catch my drift?"

She looked at me like I was a serial killer about to tell her she's next on my list, "Uhh, okay then, I'll get the doctor then." She then left the room to get the doctor.

I had to think, and fast, what was I going to tell the doctor? At least he could believe me unlike Twilight did, I still have to make up a story as to why I landed in the middle of the Everfree forest as well. My door opened and Twilight with one of the doctors from earlier walked in, He immediately walked next to me and checked the chart.

"Hmm, everything seems to check out fine here, all you need to do is check what symptoms you have on here and then you're good to go." The doctor explained to me as he handed a clipboard with his mouth.

I looked at the clipboard, now Equestrian wasn't hard to read, it was like basic English to me, but it was the writing part that killed me, I didn't know how to write with my mouth, or my hoof, or magic so I was pretty much fucked. I looked at Twilight hoping she would understand. "Uhh, Twilight would you check what I say I can't really write properly." I felt heat on my checks I must of been blushing real hard.

"Or you could check the boxes the we provided here." The doctor cut off Twilight before she could even breathe a word.

"Oh, okay then." I said as I looked at the clipboard again. Now I always believed that Unicorns always had a mental connection, like if one unicorn thought 'I need help moving' one or more would think back 'What time do you need us?' You know something like that. So I hoped that my theory is right and asked Twilight in my head, Twilight how do I use magic? There was a long silence, I thought my theory was wrong, but just as I was about to say something I heard someone in my head, but it wasn't Twilight.

"Just pretend that you have arms." It was the voice from my dreams, I had no time to thank the other Unicorn I tried my best to start using magic for the first time.

I focused on the pen that was on the clipboard and imagined that I had a hand to grab it, Surprisingly using magic is very easy, I checked the provided squares that I felt matched my pain. The doctor looked at it, nodded and left the room. I looked at my stuff again, there was also a chair near the nightstand and that had a dark green vest, guess it was on me when I fell on the ground. I slid off the bed and used the nightstand as a crutch to grab my vest and put it on. I got used the my center of weight pretty fast and walked over to the mirror.

Huh, Discord used my Unicorn OC colors but put me as an Alicorn? I thought to myself then found another issue to my life here in Equestria. Shit how am I going to explain this to Twilight without being part of the Royal Family? I turned as fast as I could to tell twilight the fastest thought that came to mind, too late, she already had the widest eyes and was mumbling.

"I-I-I, How did- What are- Would some somepony please explain what the hay is going on!" Twilight yelled at me.

"Look I'll explain everything once we get to somewhere more personal, okay Twilight?"

She looked at me like I was a madman, she then sighed really long and nodded her head. I looked at myself one last time, there was something about me that felt like I'm not complete, what am I missing? Thats it the shades maybe Vinyl would give me a pair. I looked back at Twilight and then walked out of the room. Twilight and I went to the front desk and waited for a nurse to attend to us, a pony by the name of Nurse Red Heart gave me paperwork to sign and take with me as I left but not before I was stopped by the doctor that treated me.

"Sorry there, but I forgot to give you this," he handed me a little bottle of pain pills. "Take these any time you feel the pain in your mid section." He then bid me good day and left to continue his job. As I walked out side of the hospital I was greeted by the most beautiful scene i've ever seen. It was a sunny day, there was a slight breeze in the air, and the butterflies were flying in a synchronized dance. I looked at this with wide and astonished eyes. I guess Twilight saw me look at this and decided to wave her hoof outwards and say to me in a tone like a tourist chaperone.

"Welcome, to Ponyville."

Author's Note

About the cover art. My first OC is an Alicorn, but as to why the cover art is a Unicorn well. Message me if you want a spoiler, if not then wait for Chapter Four or Five. Again thanks to JXWheeler as my editor.

Chapter 3: The Truth comes Out

Twilight and I were walking down the streets of Ponyville. I looked around as we were walking and noticed some of the background ponies that I knew; I saw Carrot Top watering her garden, Rose Luck selling flowers at her store, Derpy crashing into a wall and smiling with her tongue out, Time Turner (Dr. Whooves) walking outside of a store and being stopped by somepony. I was trying my best to hold my excitement, but my smile was from ear to ear as I looked every which way possible.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"Huh?" My smile was still showing, which scared Twilight.

"Don't do that, that's bucking creepy." Twilight then covered her mouth her hoof as if she had said a bad word.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. It's just..." I had to think about what to say. "I'll explain later, alright?" I then tried to look down and avoid any unnecessary eye contact. A few minutes passed by and Twilight was really starting to question my silence when we reached the Library. Twilight opened the door and locked it, flipping the sign to “Closed”. She then looked around the huge tree house to make sure no pony was listening. She led me to a cushion and sat me down, sitting across from me.

"Okay a deal is a deal, now could you please tell me where you're from?" Twilight asked, slightly annoyed.

I looked at her with a serious face "Now before I tell you, I need to know that you won't tell anybo- anypony. Can I trust you?" I asked, looking at her.

Twilight groaned. "Not more secrets, I'm bad at this... Fine, I won't tell a soul."

I then opened my mouth to begin my story.

There was a maniac laughter as a bright light shone through the dungeon. Moments later the light died down, and a red pony with a black and red mane knelt on the floor. Sombra approached the pony and stated his alleged role in life.

"Your name is The Rogue Knight; your arch-enemy is The Silent Hero. You can master all types of magic, and you are a master of weapons of any type. I have created you to carry out my deeds in far lands. Now rise, my apprentice."

The pony declared as The Rogue Knight stood up and looked at him with deep sapphire eyes, awaiting an order. "Speak Knight, what are your weaknesses?" Sombra asked his new creation.

The Rogue Knight searched his black vest he was wearing, where he found red tinted sunglasses. Putting them on with his hoof, he then looked back at his "Master" and answered the question. "I have no weaknesses, Master." Sombra grinned and then motioned for his apprentice to follow him. He then explained the plan he was forming inside his mind. Sombra needed him to keep The Silent Hero at bay to do so.

It took a few hours to explain my backstory, and how I knew all about Twilight and the rest of the gang in My Little Pony. Twilight stared at me as I finished my tale, remaining shocked and silent.

"Umm Twilight, are you okay?" I asked after a couple of minutes.

"Yeah, it’s just hard to be told that your social life is a major priority in a show for little fillies, uh, I mean girls," Twilight said, trying to shake off the fact that almost her whole life had been part of a storyboard in another universe.

"So now that you know I'm not supposed to be a part of this world, could you help me get back to my own world?" I asked, trying to ease her off the gloom thought.

"I could possibly find a portal to do so, it’s just I need a lot of power from tons of unicorns. Lucky for you I know Princess Celestia," Twilight explained as she ran up to her room to write to the princess. I knew that it might take a while for her to sum up almost an hour of story time into a little scroll, so as I waited I looked around the library to see what kind of things Equestria held for me. I was in the Fiction section when I saw a book that caught my interest.

‘Pony Wars? That sounds almost like...’ I reached for the book to look at the cover art. I only saw a black pony wearing a cape and mask, holding a lightsaber in its hoof. I shoved the book to its rightful place before I burst out laughing. I then decided to just take a seat and wait for the letter to arrive. I was lost in thought about a theory I had, which was that all unicorns could communicate with each other through their minds. I wanted to try it out with Twilight but I had second thoughts about it. She did save my life so I really shouldn't creep into her mind and freak her out. As I was thinking I spaced out, blocking everything that could distract my mind. When I finally focused my eyes, I saw Twilight staring at me like I was a masterpiece. Naturally I flipped the fuck out.

"Ahh! God damn Twilight, you scared the shit out of me, fuck!" I said, startled.

Twilight jumped slightly at my reaction. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare it’s just I was wondering what you were thinking." She then gave a stern look. "And watch your language here, Spike could hear you!"

"Well what else could I have said? 'Ahh, don't do that'?"

Twilight snickered at the tone I used. "I just thought you would like to know that I sent a letter to the princess, there might be a response sometime soon." I just nodded and gave her an apology for my bad mouth. We started talking about different things: books we like, things we do as hobbies, and of course what it's like in the different worlds. For being almost as intelligent as Celestia, she had some great humor; guess hanging with RD can do that to ya. But during our conversation Spike walked in from the upstairs area carrying different books.

"Twilight I found the books you wanted me to get. Why do I-" He saw me stretching my wings out of discomfort, and dropped everything so he could bow to me. "Sorry, I didn't know royalty was here," he said in a sincere voice.

"Don't bow to him Spike, he's the reason why I made you grab those books. And besides he has a bad mouth as is." She gave me the stern look again.

"Look I said I'm sorry. God, do you want me to sing an opera about it?" I asked, trying to make her laugh.

"Spike, did Celestia respond back?" Twilight asked trying to avoid my silly faces I was making while pretending to sing.

Spike snickered. "Nope, not – pffft – yet." Within milliseconds after he answered he burst out laughing. Twilight just stared at him and giggled a tad bit, success on my part. After Spike left she went straight to a book called "Mythical Creatures and Other Life Forms Biology". I looked at Twilight with a worried look.

"You're not going to dissect me are you?" I asked. Twilight laughed which scared me a little.

"You kidding? I would never do that to another pony even if they were from an alternate universe. Besides, I can't handle blood," Twilight responded.

I smiled and then got up to get something to eat. I may have been full when I entered Equestria, but now I could beat Jaba the Hut in an eating contest. I started to walk towards another section of the library trying my best to contain my hunger but-

*grumble*

Twilight giggled. "I see that the effect of traveling through different dimensions does have a hunger effect. Let me make you something to eat." She proceeded two steps then turned around. "What exactly do you eat?"

I smile and said with a calm yet quiet voice, "Anything that’s not grass or hay."

I wasn't sure how to feel that one of the many characters in a show for little girls was treating me for lunch, and I'm not sure about the time here in Equestria, but she was giving me food from her own house. I had to find a way to thank her later. I'm not the type to let gifts go uneven or unleveled. It sounded like she was grilling something on a stove but the smell gave away what she was making.

"Well I hope you can eat omelets and rice," she called from the kitchen while she was cooking. I decided that if I needed to be on good terms with her, I might as well be on good terms with Spike; after all he's the messenger to Celestia.

"So, Spike. What's life like here in Ponyville?" I asked.

"Well, there's nothing really 'normal' about this place, I mean we have Ditzy Doo, or Derpy Hooves as other ponies call her. She has this strange thing with her eyes and she also tends to lose some mail, but to get on her good side just give her a muffin. Also, beware of the pink party pony named Pinkie Pie she just... Well I don't know how to even describe her. If I had one word to describe her it would be ‘defiant’." Spike continued on about the rest of Ponyville and how Pinkie is about more than just fourth wall breaking. I think somewhere along those lines she has more than one party cannon, not sure if I was just getting bored about hearing about one pony for the last hour.

"Okay so watch out for Pinkie Pie and give Derpy muffins, I got that down. Anything else?" I asked, trying not to sound like a jackass but might have failed at doing so.

"Well there is one pony who is better than them all. She definitely might be the only normal one in this town other than Twilight."

I knew exactly who he was talking about. "Who is this person then, Spike?"

Spike gave me a confused look. "What? What's a 'person'?"

I sighed. Of course he would seem confused about what I said; the only type of animals here were fucking talking horses and ponies, as well as griffons and zebras. "Sorry Spike, where I'm from we're called humans and we call people, or 'ponies' in this case, ‘people’ for plural and ‘person’ for singular. I've been born and raised to say that, so coming here to Equestria might take some time to change my language."

Spike shrugged it off like it was nothing. "No worries dude, it might be hard for me to keep pretending you're one of us."

"Point taken. Anyways, who is this pony you spoke of that might be the only normal pony here in Ponyville?" I asked. He did have a point, if word got out that another Alicorn was here in Equestria I'd have the press all over me. Speaking of which, how did Twilight and I get here without any type of paparazzi chasing us? ‘Oh well, I guess I'll ask her later,’ I thought before Spike answered my question.

"She's more beautiful than all of the ponies here, she can keep fashion in line, she’s more mature than all of them, and she represents the Element of Generosity. She is Rarity." He swooned at saying her name.

‘I totally called it. Oh well, at least I'm not in a world that’s all Anthro or something,’ I thought to myself.

"Well Rarity does sound like she does on the show, I'll give her a visit I guess," I said. I didn't really like Rarity that much but I could use any help I could to get out of here. A few hours later, Twilight and I were in a discussion of what my world’s justice system was like when we heard Spike burp loudly.

"Spike, is it a letter from the princess?" Twilight asked. Spike didn't respond but he gave the scroll to her to let her read it out loud.

Dear Silent/James,

I have heard about your dilemma, and would like to help out in any way I can. Concealed within this scroll is two tickets for a train heading to Canterlot. I'm expecting to see you here at about 10:00 PM. My sister and I will try to find the reason Discord brought you here. I hope that the hospitality Twilight is showing you is friendly and warming as can be. As for your appearance as an Alicorn, Twilight knows a spell that changes your appearance to other ponies mentally. Seeing as how you're getting used to magic, just keep pretending that you're a Unicorn until we meet in person. James, your presence here in Equestria is quite strange and might interfere with the universal time space and events. I do hope to see you at the Canterlot Castle soon so we can discuss these topics.

Sincerely, Princess Celestia

"Oh man, I haven't even been here for a whole day and already I'm going to be interfering with the time space continuum!" I said, not knowing what the hell I was talking about

"Well then," Twilight said, standing up and packing some books/other necessities into a saddlebag. "I say it's time you went to see Princess Celestia." Spike started packing up too but Twilight stopped him, telling him that someone needs to stay at the library and hold up their end of the budget they made in the show. With my green sunglasses stuffed into one of the pockets in my vest, I waited near the door where Twilight and I would make our way to the train station so we can find a way to get me back home on Earth.
