What Am I Doing Here?
Chapter Four - Rough New World
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was sitting in a tree in the middle of a park somewhere in Ponyville. I had my journal with me and I was just reading my entries.

Do more Minecraft Voltz
Buy 2 bottles of Coca Cola
I highly regretted buying the coke. I threw up after drinking an entire bottle in one go. Just remembering that day makes me feel sick. I was just sitting in the tree minding my own business when suddenly, I hear a filly.
"Wow, look Silver Spoon! It's a freak in a tree!"
I was busy reading, so it took me a few seconds to realize they were talking about me. I shrugged and continued my reading.
"Hey, freak! What are you doing?"
I ignore her and keep reading.
"Hey! Answer me!"
I roll my eyes and lower my journal and look down at the two fillies.
"Fuck off."
I raise my journal back up to eye level and keep reading.
"Hey freak! Nobody tells me-"
"Are you deaf!?"
She cringed at my response.
"When I say fuck off, you fuck off! Understand!?"
I continue my reading when I hear crying. Curious, I lower my journal and look back at the filly. She had tears running down her face.
"Y-Y-You didn't have t-t-to shout."
"You didn't have to call me a freak."
She sniffles and nodded her head.
"I'm sorry."
I once again sigh and raise my journal back up.
"Whatever. If you're really sorry, I'd advise not doing it again."
She nods and turns around.
"Come on Silver Spoon."
The two fillies walk off and leave me to read.
"Woah! I can't believe it!"
I groan and lower my journal for the fiftieth time to see Scoots, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle looking up at me with respect.
"Can't believe what?"
"Ya made Diamond Tiara cry! Ah can't even get her ta stop talkin' yet all ya had to say was-"
"NANANANANANA! Do NOT say that word and if you ever do I will deny ever saying it, understand? And is her name really Diamond Tiara?"
Scoots nodded. "Yeah. She's mean."
I laugh and look back at my journal.
"If my name was Diamond Tiara, I think I'd commit suicide."
"What's suicide?"
I lower my journal and look at the three fillies.
"Suicide is when somepony decides that life is too hard or that they hate themselves, then they kill themselves."
The three fillies look back at me sadly.
"Do you want to do that?"
I stare at them for a few seconds before sighing, closing my journal and placing it back in my pocket.
"I thought about it once. Heh, hell. I even tried it once or twice."
All the fillies looked even more saddened.
"Did you think life was hard or did you hate yourself?"
I shook my head. "I really can't remember."
I glance at the three fillies and jumped down and gave them a serious look.
"Look, if I ever catch you even thinking about that, I will never forgive you. My world was cruel, still probably is. So never mention what I just told you to anypony, got it?"
The fillies nodded and I sighed with relief.
"Good. Now off with ya. I need to do some things."
"Can't we jus' watch?"
I sigh again and pinch my nose. "Sure. I was gunna check if I can get Internet here."
I reach back and grab my laptop. I crack her open and sit at the tree trunk. The three fillies all surround me and watch as I check for any connections. There are none. Damnnit. Might as well check if I still have my Doctor Who episodes. Yes!
"Aw yeah! I know what I'll be doing tonight!"
Sweetie Belle pointed at the Doctor Who episodes.
"What are those?"
I smile and open Doctor Who Series 5 Episode 1. I turn to her and wave a hand mystically over the screen as Matt Smith and his crashing TARDIS fall through the sky.
"The best show ever. Girls, I'd like you to meet the Doctor."
Applebloom was sitting on top of my head. She tapped my forehead.
"Doctor who?"
I smile and laugh.
"That's the question, isn't it?"
(Authors Note: Great now I wanna watch Doctor Who.)
-----Same Park, Some Time Later-----
Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo all gasp as River tried to shoot the Doctor, but failed to kill him. Sweetie Belle pointed a hoof to the screen.
"It's a fixed point in time! You can't do that! It's impossible!"
I laugh and rub Sweetie Belle's mane.
"That was my exact reaction when I first watched this episode."
Scoots nudged me with a hoof.
"How can she do that?!"
I laugh and look up at the sky. It was now close to night time.
"It will all make sense soon, trust me. But for now..."
I close the lid of the laptop.
"...it's time to head home."
All three of the fillies made the cutest "Awww" noise I have ever heard.
Applebloom jumped off my head and the girls all stood in front of me as I placed my Laptop back inside my bag.
"I seriously need a charger now."
I clap my hands together and nod.
"Right so tommorow we can see what happened to all of reality, alrighty?"
They nodded, but Sweetie Belle gave me a sad look.
"Can you tell us why the Doctor hates the Daleks please?"
I nod and rubbed her mane.
"Yeah. It's a long story, but I'll be happy to explain it."
They all smile and run off, towards home I assumed. I also had other TV shows on my hard drive, as well as movies. And yes, they're all illegally obtained. But since I'm not on earth any more, I doubt that makes a difference. I decided to head to Twilights house tommorow and see if she can charge my laptop somehow.
-----During The Doctor Who Marathon, Twilight's 1st Pony Perspective-----
I had Chrysalis restrained against a table under my library. She was knocked out right now, but she was going to wake up soon. And I have a hunch about her plans with Crystal. As she wakes up, she looks frantically around the room. Her eyes rest on me.
"What am I doing here?"
I jump up onto a stool next to the table.
"Interrogation."
She groans and gives a limited nod,
"Okay, fine. Ask away, Sparkle."
"What do you want with Crystal?"
Chrysalis turns her head away from me. I lean in to her ear and whisper.
"The more cooperative you are, the faster you can get out of these restraints."
She sighs and turns towards me as I lean back.
"I, we, need him to feed us. My hive and I are starving. The Prophets told me that he would fall for me and feed the hive for the rest of his life."
I gave her a look of disbelief.
"And telling him that would make him fall for you?"
She was going to respond, but held it back.
"Next question. Why can't you get somepony else to love you? You did a great job convincing my brother."
"Pure, unadulterated love is far more powerful then forced love."
I nod and jot down the notes.
"Next question. What would you do if he didn't fall for you?"
She shook her head.
"The Prophets said that if he stayed around me long enough and got to know me he would love me."
"Well, clearly that isn't working."
She grunted at my response.
"Really? You don't say."
I sighed and put my notes down.
"Last question. Do you love him back?"
She blushed and was lost for words.
"I-Ah-Well-Um."
My jaw hits the floor.
"No way! You do!"
She looks at me angrily.
"So what?! And really, can you blame me!? All I want is for my hive to not starve to death!"
I really couldn't argue with her on that. I'd do the same thing for my subjects.
"You can go about it an entirely different way, though."
She shook her head.
"The Prophets predict the future, and although sometimes they may twist words, they are always right. He will love me. And I him. Together, we will feed my hive! Are we really hurting anypony by taking him away from here?!"
I nod. "Roseluck, Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, Scootaloo, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie and I. And more importantly since you've taken him from his father. Now no matter what happens, thanks to you, somepony will get hurt. If you send him home like he wants or take him, you'll be hurting us. You leave him here, you and his father will be hurt."
She takes al this in and finally realizes what she has done.
"And no matter what, thanks again to you, Crystal will be hurt. I can tell he likes you. Not in the same way, granted. He likes you like a friend. If you leave, you'll be hurting him. If you take him away from us, you'll hurt him. Believe it or not, he likes Roseluck as well as you."
She turns her head away from me. I try a few more times to get a response, but fail. I sigh and give up.
"I'll come down in the morning to check up on you."
She doesn't respond as I climb back up to the ground floor. As I look out the window I see Crystal walking happily towards Roseluck's home. I smile and ascend the stairs to my bed and flop down onto it. I fall asleep the moment my head touches the soft pillow.
-----The Morning-----
I wake up on my horrible couch bed. Me and it have done some major bonding over the night. I must've hit this couch more times then I got killed by Psycho's in Borderlands 2. God damn those things are bitches. I sit up and stretch my arms then rub the back of my head and looked down. Rose was lying at the other end of the couch on top of my legs.
"Even though I find this adorable, I want to actually get up."
I moved my legs out from underneath her, waking her up. She shoots up and finds herself looking at me with my smug smile. She starts blushing and frantically looking around the room.
"I-Uh-Ah-Well-"
I grab her in a tight hug and swing her around. I was laughing and so was she.
"Were you trying to sleep with me or something? Huh? Huuuuuh?"
We continued laughing while I was swinging her around. When we stopped I lowered her onto the ground and grinned. I walked over to my bag and grabbed my laptop from inside. I turn my head to see Rose walking towards me.
"Gotta go see Twilight now. Then I have an appointment with three fillies. Bye, Rose!"
She smiles and waves as I exit the house.
-----Under The Library, An While Before Crystal Woke Up
I went to check up on Chrysalis this morning to ask her more questions. I reported my findings to the Princess and she said to keep her here for a few more days. She'll come down and check up on her soon. I sat in the stool and Chrysalis was already awake.
"New Question. If Crystal would never love you, would you send him home?"
"No. I couldn't do that to him."
I cock my head to the left in confusion.
"Why not?"
-----The library, Present----
I walk into the library with a smile on my face and a laptop in my arms.
"Hey, Twilight?! I need a favour!"
Twilight emerges from a stair case in the floor that I did not notice before. Chrysalis followed her up. She faces me with a grim look.
"I will take you back home with Twilight and myself."
I couldn't believe what I had just heard. I jump up in the air and fist pump.
"Sweet! Oh thank you so mu-"
"Don't thank me. In fact, you may hate me."
I frown and walked up to her.
"Why?"
She closed her eyes and her horn glowed. My vision was filled with green light. When it cleared, I was in a wasteland. I looked around and saw some destroyed houses. I turn around and saw Chrysalis looking emotionless on a small hill. Twilight was next to her with a disheartened look.
"I thought you said you would take me home?"
Chrysalis nodded and looked down to me.
"We are on earth. In your home town."
She waved a hoof over the landscape.
"You were here during the year 2013, correct? Crystal, welcome to the year 5476."
