Dream Come True, or Nightmare Come To Life?

Author's Note: So here's the next chapter. For the most part, the plan I'm following is a line. And I'm a 5 year old who doesn't color within the lines. So yeah. If random things happen, it's because I thought about it spur of the moment. I'm hoping it will all work out, but who know's. So, I'm going to be doing a little foreshadowing. Keep an eye out for it. It's going to be subtle, so don't look for the obvious.

Chapter 2

Is This Good, or Bad?

You all leave the library and are confronted by an angry mob. You look around and think 'Well. Fuck.' You look over at Twilight with a look that says "Now what?" She sighs and rolls her eyes.

"I know I know... I got this." Her horn glowed, and a disk appeared above her. The crowd started murmuring. You heard somepony say "Monster!" You sigh and shake your head. The disk Twilight summoned started rising into the air, leaving behind a Three Dimensional Holographic image of Twilight's head that mirrored everything Twilight did. She amplified her voice and addressed the crowd. "Listen up everypony!" The crowd went silent... "I know you are all a little frightened by the creature that came running out of the Everfree Forest a little while ago. But trust me when I say he means no harm! I was in there talking with him for ten minutes with only Spike and Fluttershy in the room!"

There was a mummer from the crowd and somepony shouted "How do we know it's not just trying to win us over to get us when we aren't expecting it!"

This is when you spoke up "If I wanted you all dead with what I was lucky enough to bring from my world, I could easily wipe you all out." They all go silent as you hold up a grenade, "This, is what is called a *Frag Grenade* or * Fragmentation Grenade* inside is explosives that when detonated send metal fragmentations of in every direction killing anything in a ten foot diameter of the epicenter of the explosion. In case you don't know the distance, this is a foot." You hold up your hands and space them apart to a foot.

The crowd kept silent and looked terrified. You kept talking and held up your M16A4 "This, is what is called a M16A4, or Assault Rifle, and in simpler teams, a gun. It uses gunpowder in a brass casing. When the gunpowder is ignited it causes a small metal projectile to fly forward several times faster than the speed of sound in a straight line up to three-thousand feet. And it's lethal at the range to. So, if I wanted you all dead. I would've been able to do it from the forest line. So trust me when I say I don't want to hurt anypony here. Because if I did, I would've. Where I'm from I'm an elite soldier best of the best. My job was to kill people. All kinds of people. From evil dictators, to corrupt politicians. I fought for my country, and I did a damn good job. Here's where this benefits you. I don't expect to be able to go back home. Ever. Making this my country now."

The crowd looked at you. Some looked convinced others worse than before. You sigh heavily. "Take that however you want. The point is; I come in peace. Should something arise, I will fight for this place. For my new home!" This got some good reactions from the crowd. 'All they need now is time to get used to me I guess...' You turn to Twilight and say, "Come on, let's go eat."

You start heading off towards the town. You walk about ten feet before you stop and turn around facing Twilight "Yeah, I kinda don't know where I'm going. You should lead the way" You say with a nervous laugh. You also couldn't help but notice how close Fluttershy and Twilight were to each other.

Twilight nods and says "Of course! I was wondering when you were going to ask for directions"

"Give me a map, and two days and I'll have the layout of teh whole down memorized." You say proudly

Twilight looks impressed, "Only two days!? It took me a week before I memorized all of Ponyville!"

"Well, when your life may depend on how quickly you learn something, you tend to figure out how to memorize things quickly..." You look off into the distance, a look of sadness creeps onto your face.

"Umm... Are you okay...?" Fluttershy asked

You snap out of your trance and look at Fluttershy, "Yeah, I'll be fine" you manage a smile and Fluttershy drops it. "So how much farther till we get there?"

Twilight kept facing forward and said "Almost there, about two more minutes."

"Hmmm..."

Twilight turns to look at you "You feeling alright?"

"Yeah. Can you tell me about this place? Not just the town, but this country if that's what you even call the territory your people controls. To help pass the time, and I'd like to learn more about this place."

"Sure thing! Where to start..." Twilight thinks about it for a moment before speaking again, "Okay, this is the Land of Equestria, it's not what you call a country, it's just the land ponies control. We have borders, but merely as a formality. We don't really fight with our neighbors anymore. Our last war was over a thousand-years ago. We have two rulers, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. Princess Celestia controls the sun, while Princess Luna controls the moon. They rule together during the day the other at night."

You take a few moments to process this. Having watched the show, you more or less knew some of that. But since killing isn't unheard of you decide to take the show as a base point of reference. As things were clearly different, but similar.

"Ponyville was founded about" just as she was saying that, a group of kids ran by (No, it's not the CMC) so you couldn't hear what she said, "Years ago back when Applejacks grandmother was just a young mare. Applejack is a friend of mine, she runs Sweet Apple Acres, the apple farm near here. The town gets all our apples from there, as well as a few other nearby cites."

"That's interesting. Will I be meeting Applejack?" You sound curious, but mostly know them already, you only wonder what's different about all of them from the show.

"You sure will! You've already met one of my friends, Fluttershy. That leaves Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. You'll also end up meeting the Princesses later. I can only imagine they would want to meet you sooner rather than later."

Your stomach decides to show you how many knots it can tie when you hear you'll be meeting the princesses. You accepted it as a possibility, since while you were a closet brony, you also read your fair share of fictions, and the human always meet the princesses, but you never really gave it to much thought until now. Not to mention the humans were for the most part good. You weren't good. in fact, you've thought yourself as evil a few times. Killing without remorse. And rationalizing it as "orders".

Twilight sees your face and asks "You okay? You look like you were just bucked in the guts" You giggle at how "bucked" sounds a lot like "fucked". '... This is going to be an awkward couple of months while I adjust to this, isn't it?'

You sigh and respond to Twilight "Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm just hungry is all" You didn't like lying, but you figure its better then the truth at this point.

"Oh! Here we are!" Twilight exclaims as a simple restaurant comes into view, it's mostly outdoors. Which is decorated sparsely, save for a few flower beds. The tables were made of simple stone slabs resting atop a metal support frame. The chairs were metal. But there weren’t any salt or pepper shakers on any of the tables. 'That's odd...'

You all take a seat and much to your surprise Fluttershy speaks up first "So, what kind of food did you eat before you came here?" You sigh. You were really hoping to avoid the meat subject. Fluttershy sees this and quickly adds "Oh! I mean, only if you want to..."

"No, I'll tell you. But I was kind of hoping to avoid this. You both seemed to react poorly when you heard that I ate meat at all. You both sure you want to hear this?"

Twilight quickly shakes her head, Spike follows suite as if it took him a split second longer to decide. Fluttershy still seems interested. "Alright, I'll tell you what Fluttershy, I'll tell you later. Twilight seems to really dislike the idea."

Fluttershy looked a little disappointed, but nodded her head. "Um, okay... I mean, if you still want to..."

"It's not a problem. If you really want to hear it I'll tell you. But just promise you won't think any less of me for it, okay?"

She nodded "I promise. I'm friends with animals who eat meat, so it's not something I'm totally unfamiliar with."

Shortly a unicorn mare came out of the building levitating the missing items. The Salt and Pepper shakers, and the napkin box. She was tall for a mare. Taller than Twilight, but shorter then Big Mac, and she was slender. Her coat was deep brown, and her mane was a vanilla white. An interesting color pattern for sure, but with the way she had her hair styled, it looked brilliant. (Think something like Fluttershy, only shorter, and the curve at the top isn't as profound.) Her cutiemark was a steaming cup of coffee. (I know it's a little over used, but it works) "Hello, my name is Vanilla. I'll be your server to-" She paused when she looked at you. "Your s-server today..."

You sigh and say "Don't let my looks fool you. I'm quite a nice person. Just a little odd looking." You flash her smile and wink then continue by adding "Although, I haven't been here long, I must say, you are quite the looker. I haven't met a lot of other ponies, but you're going to be hard to outshine" You finish with another wink. She giggles and looks away with a hint of red tinting her cheeks.

"I-I'll be r-right back with your menus." She says nervously as she heads back inside. Twilight, Fluttershy, and Spike look at you with their jaws on the floor

"What? Now she thinks I'm a nice guy. She'll tell her friends. Who'll tell their friends. So on so forth. I don't see how this could possibly backfire."

She came back out levitating four menus. Walking around the table she placed a menu at each spot. When she walks past you, she drapes her tail over your shoulder and rubs it across your neck as she places your menu in front of you with a little wink. When she places the menus down, she walks back around the table, and once again drapes her tails over your shoulder only this time she brushes it across your face. The smell of coffee hits your nose like nine-thousand and one pounds of bricks (You see what I did there?). It's the best smelling coffee you've ever had the pleasure to smell. Starbucks can't even compare. This time when she winks at you, you wink back. 'She is the most beautiful mare I've seen yet...'

"Wait! I thought you said mommy was the prettiest mare you've ever seen?" On your lap, sits a little unicorn filly.(No details on her for now. It's a surpirse >:) )

"She is, but I haven't meet mommy yet."

"When will she get here? You told me you'd tell me more about her... I want to learn more about my mommy…"

You hug the little filly closer, and a tear escapes your eyes "I know I'm getting there, this is also a story on how I meet mommy. Trust me, she'll get here. Let me keep going, okay?”

”Okay daddy. I just really want to hear more about mommy... I wish I could have met her...”

”I wish you could've met her to sweet heart. I do to... Now, back to the story”

She walks back into the dinner. Your eyes follow her flank all the way in the building. You turn back to the table, and notice everypony there staring.

"O-oh my..." Fluttershy looks away, blushing.

Spike looks impressed, and is writing something down on a note pad 'Where'd that come from?' When he finishes he looks up and says "Smooth moves man. Smooth moves indeed"

Twilight looks shocked. And maybe a little disappointed? You can't be sure. But the face she's making is funny and you can't help but laugh a little. "Okay, maybe things backfired a little."

Twilight starts talking "You think? Dear Celestia... Your first day here and you already have a mare crushing over you. And you're a different species!"

You frown "I didn't think that would be a big problem here given there are an abundant amount of creature's here who can talk. Sure it's a little weird, but as far as I'm concerned it's harmless flirting. Guess ponies can be more close minded that I thought."

Twilight is about to protest against you, where you hear a scream. You get up and start running off towards the direction of the scream. You run at a full blown sprint leaving Twilight, Spike, and Fluttershy in the dust. You arrive at an ally, and see three stallions surrounding a single mare. The mare is a brilliant white, with a purple mane done up in curls. You can’t get a real good look at her she's being blocked by the three stallions.

"Hey. You three better bail if you know what's good for you." The three turn their attention to you.

"This ain't none of your business weirdo. Get lost before we mess you up!" they turn their attention back to the mare.

"I'm making it my fucking business dick wads."

Okay. Foreshadowing. Not subtle at fucking all. ilied.jpg (<--- is I Lied) So. Question, what do you think should be trying to happen to the mare? Robbery? Rape? Gimme some ideas. I don't care. The hero is going to stop it, so feel free to be a brutal as you want. Another question, should I kill them off? Or just hospitalize them and save them and use them later?

I did plan on it being a subtle foreshadow, but remember what I said about the plan and box and I'm a 5 year old. SO yeah. This chapter, blew the plan to fucking pieces.

And the Italicized stuff is things that haven't happened yet. As you may have figured out, this is telling a story now. Like I said. This chapter blew the plan to millions of fucking pieces.
