Paranoid Princess

A bright light shone in my face. I was sitting in a cold, dark room with nothing and no one. "Why are you here?" I was being interrogated. Well, crap. When I get interrogated harshly, I become timid and shy, so it makes people think I'm lying. It's annoying, like as if I were speaking in another language, and they couldn't quite understand. I could barely respond. " I-I don't even know how I ended up in here in the first place." The voice became louder and more threatening. "What are your intentions?" That was easy, but they could change anytime. "I um, want to at least be comfortable here if I can't get back to my universe." The seemingly disembodied voice was distinct once more, echoing throughout the room. "What is this universe you speak of?" No, not this question. Ever since I was involved into this fandom, I've learnt from many fanfics that if you are ever asked those questions, bear in mind that they are still real in a sense. "A universe where humans exist, and your whole story is um, nothing but a show... Not trying to piss you off... or something." The light shone brightly in my face again, and I found myself right before the two princesses who ruled over this very land. Princess Luna was standing with pride, strictness, or royalty. I couldn't tell the difference. Princess Celestia stood beside her little sister. I tried to read her emotions by looking at her face, but it stayed blank. I could say that I could slap her face a million times and she would not laugh or cry, or even react at all, but that's not how to treat royalty. I couldn't speak at that point; I was shocked. "Do you happen to be human?" The two sister asked in perfect synchronization. Still speechless, I managed to make a quiet squeak, much like Fluttershys. Looking around, the royal guards surrounded me, and I could see Twilight's brother in the distance. The interrogation continued.
-So, you are human?
-Uh, if that makes you happy, yes...
I heard mumbling behind me, coming from the guards.
-If we were fictional in your world, how much do you know?
-Twilight and her five friends formed the Elements of Harmony to 'defeat' Nightmare Moon so that you, Princess Luna would be free. I believe they also made one of the recent Grand Galloping Galas the most exciting. Then shortly later, defeated Discord with the Elements of Harmony. And hey, didn't Princess Cadance and Twilight's brother marry? Princess Celestia sent Twilight and her friends to find a better way to protect the Crystal Empire. What were you two doing when that happened? I believe that you haven't received any friendship reports yet from any of Twilight's friends either. Don't worry, Applejack will be writing soon.
The two princesses were shocked. I like showing off, and it paid off for me finally. Oh, the advantages of being a brony. It's like knowing everything of this universe from the start to the end. Back to the princesses, they were having a conversation between themselves. I wonder what they're talking about. Does it involve me and/or some sort of legend or prophecy?

Princess Luna
-Tia! This doesn't make sense. She hasn't even placed a threat to us! Not even any of Equestria!
-No, this is not what it seems. Something is going to happen, something big. It may change Equestria forever, and I know, that this pony will be involved.
-But Tia, she is friendly. You remember what happened to me, right? Even if she has a bad side to her, there will always be the good side.
-She was the source of the magic pulse, the energy wave. There's something peculiar about this pony. It may be the fact that she is human. Sister, you know that a few humans have visited before, right?
-Yes! They had beautiful personalities!
-But to each bloom, there is rain.
-I do not see what could go wrong. If something bad happened, surely, we will recover.
-In the future, you will see... It is only trouble that I see ahead.

Twilight Sparkle
"Wh-what?!" I couldn't comprehend what just happened. First, there was Pastel battling Trixie and suddenly, she was all choppy and blocky! How could there be such spells? How could Pastel have done that? The other fact that baffled me very much, was how Pastel turned into an alicorn. It started of with her cutie mark changing, which is quite rare. Then her horn grew, then wings came out of her back. She grew taller, as all alicorns are taller than regular ponies. Her mane and tail flowed strangely like Nightmare Moons, although I don't see the evil in her. The last thing I knew, was that she fled to the library, being chased by the royal guards of Canterlot. I spotted my brother within the crowd of guards, but I didn't bother trying to talk to him. I should have, but I was too afraid of asking him, interfering his work.
After they left, I ran inside the library to check if they have left Pastel alone."Pastel? Are you here?" I checked the upper floor, and the basement. Kitchen, check. Bedrooms, check. Laboratory/Basement, check.She was nowhere to be found. Only one reason that she was gone popped into my mind; she was pony-napped.
Princess Luna

From this point on, let's just say that I don't understand why my sister would do such a thing. I tried reasoning with her every awakening second, yet she stood her ground as well as I did. She could have done it anyways, she's THE ruler of Equestria, only if I could have enough power to flip the tables.,.. No, I mustn't go there. If I kept that in mind, I'd sooner become Nightmare Moon again. I rule with her, being equal as always. We treat our subjects and all who enter with respect and kindness, unless they threaten any of us. I still do not see the threat, nor do I feel it. It may be my ignorance, or my kindness. My sister has never been more paranoid than the time when she sent Twilight Sparkle and her friends to protect the Crystal Empire. We could have done it ourselves, but there is a kingdom for us to rule.
My sister ended our conversation abruptly, meaning that she had something else planned in her mind. I could only imagine what she was to do with her. This does not bode well.

Pastel
Princess Celestia walked up to me. I thought she was going to cast a spell of some sort, but she went straight to my head and whispered to me. "I will need to check you, make sure you are not a threat" Well, that wasn't creepy at all; awkward wording much. She cast a few spells, and saw a reflection in her eyes. I couldn't quite make out what she was seeing, but I know that she's seeing things that I can't. Luna was staring at whatever Celestia was looking at too, it could be about anything. She might be looking into my past, or my deep secrets, or what I wish to know, what I know. Right now, I don't even know if she's going to see that... disgusting, annoying past.
