Chapter 1: Next Stop Equestria
Previous Chapter*Hya* *Hiya* *Hiyaa*
Andrew was in his training room assaulting a training dummy with barrages of punches and kicks.
A voice called from upstairs, “Andrew, don’t stay up too late, and set the alarm before you go to bed, okay?”
“Got… it… dad…” Andrew panted. He quickly recomposed himself, then began bounding across the room like a hovercraft.
“I’ll never understand how you do that,” his father said.
Andrew chuckled, “What can I say? I've always been light on my feet.”
“Goodnight,” he shouted from the hallway.
“Goodnight, dad”
Andrew was in his kitchen, eating a bowl of ravioli. He stared out the window to gaze at the moon.
He closed his eyes. “Please, just for a little while,” he said.
He kept staring at the moon as he ate, unaware of the blue figure standing beside him.
“Hello, human,” Andrew recognized the voice as Princess Luna’s.
“Whoa!” Andrew yelped, falling and hitting his head on the counter. He grunted
and held his head in pain. “Well this is certainly not a dream,” he said, “My head is throbbing.”
“I’m sorry,” Luna said sorrowfully, “I didn’t mean to startle you.” Her look was that of genuine concern.
“Wow,” Andrew said, staring at Luna dumbfounded, “Your voice does sound like a teenager’s.”
Luna blushed. “You should know that alicorns are practically immortal, so I just happen to be the age physically of a teenager,” she said rather peeved.
“I’m sorry,” Andrew said, “It’s just really adorable.” Luna’s face got redder.
“Don’t die from my adorableness,” Luna said, “If that’s even possible.” They both laughed.
“So…” Andrew began, “Why have you decided to take me to Equestria? Mind you I am all for the idea.”
“I need someone to train the elite of the Ponyville guard martial arts so they can train recruits. You have expert knowledge of almost all of your planets martial arts, and you wouldn’t be fazed if I took you to Equestria, making you the perfect candidate,” Luna explained.
“I’d be honored,” Andrew said, bowing. “But, um…” he began to look pale, “How much do you know about me?”
Luna’s face went a new shade of crimson, “Way too much!”
“Sorry for that” Andrew apologized.
“It’s okay,” Luna reassured him with a pat of her hoof on his shoulder.
“I wonder what I’ll look like as a pony,” Andrew thought out loud.
“You’ll find out soon,” Luna said. Her horn shined bright and they both disappeared from his kitchen.
“Ughh,” Andrew groaned, waking up, “That was such a weird dream.” He sat up and rubbed the back of his neck with his hoof.
Hoof?!?!?
He began to scramble to all fours only to be stopped by Luna. “I see that this is a hard pill to swallow after all,” Luna said, giggling.
“You got that right,” he exaggerated. “Wait, where will I be staying while I’m here?”
Silence ensued as Luna spoke the next three syllables very clearly, “Ponyville.”
Andrew tried to bounce up and down but instead slammed into the floor face-first.
“Are you alright,” Luna asked.
“I’d take blow to the head just to hear that adorable voice,” Andrew said, getting up and looking her way with a “that’s so cute” look. “Yes,” he said, “I’m perfectly fine, see” He stood up to show he wasn’t hurt.
“While you wait for a place to call home Twilight Sparkle volunteered to house you temporarily,” Luna said, “And while you’re here, you’re my personal protégé much like Twilight is Tia’s”
“Nice,” Andrew said, “So how do I get to Ponyville?”
“By train,” Luna said, “It leaves in 15 minutes, and it’s right outside the castle gate. Here’s your ticket.”
“Thanks Luna,” Andrew said, “Bye!”
“Don’t worry about magic,” Luna shouted down the corridor, “Twilight can help you with that.”
