Welcome to the Club

‘What would you do if you woke up somewhere you’ve never been?’

‘

I had woken up inside a small room, and for the most part, I could not remember what had happened the previous night. It was a nice room; blue curtains were in front of a large window. The bed I had been sleeping on was a large queen sized bed, the blankets were a cyan color and the sheet was white. There was a closet in the room that had blankets that were purple and the sheets were gray. The carpet was nice and smooth a light brown, the wallpaper is a pattern of treble clef and revered bridged eight notes. The room is nice.

I walked up to the window and looked out. The house looked like it was the only one for miles from this window. If there aren’t any houses behind the house then this area looks like it a country house. I walked out of the room and I began to hear yelling coming from the other room at the end of the hall. The hallway was also nice as well. There were pictures of what I assumed to be the residents of the house.

One of them was a young girl that looked like she was a DJ. She had blue and cyan hair that resembled the color scheme of the room. She was wearing a necklace that had the revered bridged eighth note at the end of it. She wore a white sweater and blue skinny jeans. The other one was also a young girl. She wore a black dress and a gray sweater over it. She was also wearing a necklace, but hers was the treble clef.

I walked down the hall seeing more pictures of them along the way when I got there the yelling had stopped for a few seconds. I knocked on the door and realized that I had no idea what to say to them. I began to think of what I could possibly say to them. Maybe something like, ‘Hey, thanks for letting me stay here for the night. But why did you bring me out here.’ Or maybe ‘Hi, what am I doing her and why can’t I remember what I’m doing here?’ I didn’t know what I should say then I heard it.

“Come on in.” regardless that I knew nothing to say to them I opened the door and stepped in. I saw the one that looked like a DJ standing in front of the other one. They both watched me as I walked in the room. “Okay, now that you’re awake we can finally get started on what happened. My roommate Octavia here had knocked you out last night when we entered the house after the party.” Wait party? I don’t remember any party. Well I don’t remember anything that had happened in the past week. But I didn’t know why until now.

“So you’re telling me that she knocked me out last night for what reason?” They looked at me and Octavia gave a sigh.

“I knocked you out for a reason that I want to remain secret unless I know that we can trust you. But when I saw the van pull up last night, I was happy to see that Vinyl wasn’t arrested after being the DJ at another high school party. But, when I saw that she had another person with her I walked towards the closet and grabbed a bat and waited by the door.” She paused for a second taking a few deep breaths. I was shocked, part of the fact being one Vinyl was actually a DJ but that Octavia had grabbed a bat to knock me out. “So when you walked in first I had hit you right in the head with the bat. It had hit you in the temple and knocked you out; you fell to the ground like a brick. At first we thought that you were dead because you weren’t moving so Vinyl had brought you up to the room and we started arguing about why you were here.”

Vinyl walked over to me and looked me in the eye (at least I thought so, she was wearing violet glasses and I couldn’t see through them). “So the reason why you are here is that I saw something in you. I’m not going to tell you what until you promise to us. But, when I scanning the party for anyone that would probably be trust worthy I saw it just emitting from you. So I called the cops and they came and stopped the party. When they arrived everyone began to disperse like there were zombies chasing them.” I gave a chuckle at that. “You made a break for the fence but I grabbed you before you could leave. I told you to hide under my DJ set along with all the vinyl I had under there. When they came up to me I told them a long story, that I will not go into then they helped load up the stuff and we drove out to our house and you piece in the rest from there.” I hadn’t noticed but my mouth was wide open.

“Alright so now that we have filled you in we want to know what happened do you promise us that you will uphold our secret to prevent anything serious from happening to any of us.” Wait serious why would it be serious?

“Uh, just leave me to think about this for a second.” I walked over to the bathroom washed my face and came back. I decided that it couldn’t be that bad so I would promise them. I walked back into the room and Vinyl had pulled up a chair and was now sitting on it, Octavia was still on the bed.

“Now that you’re back what’s your decision? Will you make the promise or be on your marry way back home?” Vinyl asked with a smirk.

“Well, I thought what could be the harm in making the promise so I promise that I won’t tell anyone about what you will tell me.” They smiled and Vinyl stood up.

“Alright, follow me and we shall show you our secret.” She walked past me and brought us to one of the doors that was locked. She took a key out of her pocket and unlocked the door. She opened it and began to walk down a large stairwell. The first part of it was wood like the door. But as we walked down a bit further down and it started to be steel. When we reached the bottom there was a large metal door with another lock. Octavia walked in front of me and unlocked the door. She opened it and walked in ahead of us. She turned on a few power switches and lights came on. There was a large metal chamber with a door on the opposite end of it. Another machine was mostly covered up but a computer and a small opening.

“What is all this?” I asked Vinyl.

“Well this is a chamber that leads to our world, from where we are actually from. This machine is for any new comers that need to be registered a vessel to roam around our world without question.” She walked up to it and turned it on. After a few minutes she gestured for me to walk next to her. “Okay this is only goanna hurt for a second.” She grabbed my hand and placed under a needle. With my fear of needles I looked away and waited for it to happen. I felt a prick on one of my fingers and then the blood was sucked into the machine. I looked at it and the computer was slowly digitalizing a pony like figure on the screen. Then a small necklace came out after it was done.

“What this?” I picked it up and began taking a look at it. It was a black subwoofer bass at the end of it, the necklace itself was a golden chain.

“That is your key to our world much like ours that allow us to roam freely around yours.” All this talk about worlds was making me confused.

“So I guess that would make you an alien?” She gave a sigh.

“Well yes and no. You see that to you we are aliens. But at the same time we are able to only travel directly from your world to ours because it is the same place. So to speak were we live Ponyville is in this exact spot, but, in a different dimension. If we wanted to go to somewhere else like New York  we would need most the power in Equestria.” Now I was lost.

“If we go any further on about this I will have a headache.” They both laughed.

“Alright so let’s travel.” They walked over to the medal chamber and opened it up. “This is what allows us to travel between worlds. First, it is going to release a gas to make us black out. While we are knocked out that is when we turn into our other form. From there we will wake up after a few minutes in the new form and be in our world coming out this end.” We walked in and after Octavia pressed a few buttons, the door closed a gas started to fill the room.

I started to feel tired as so did Octavia and Vinyl. I yawned making them yawn along with me. I closed my eyes and drifted off into sleep. It felt like hours but I finally woke up and saw that the door was open so I ventured out of the chamber. I went to stand on my legs but ended up falling back down. I noticed that I had four legs with hooves at the end of them. “ I’m going to have to get use to this.” I told myself. I stood up on my legs and began to walk towards the exit.

No one was in there so I walked up the stairs to the actual house. When I got out I noticed that the house was exact same. Just that the pictures were ponyfied versions of them. I walked into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror. I was in awe. I was a light blue Pegasus and my hair was long, it went down the side of my neck and just onto my back. It had a strand of hair just upward in the front and on the tail. It was black and purple. I walked back out and into the living room.

There on the table was a note it read

Scratch,

This is going to be your name in this world just cause your name would mess with other ponies minds so use that when you introduce yourself. We will be going to a party later tonight so meet us back here. We have business to attend to so have fun and explore the town.

See you soon,

Octavia and Vinyl

I finished reading the letter and decided to go around and meet other ponies. I walked out the door and saw many ponies walking around minding their own business. Some saw the house I was coming out of and said a few things that I couldn’t hear so I went on to see the town.
