My Little Pony: Friendship Is Pure

After a few hours of walking around and asking for directions, I finally arrived at the entrance to the Ponyville library. Inside waiting for me were Twilight and Spike, but while Spike looked pretty calm, Twilight looked like a nervous wreck.

“Uh…did I miss something?” I asked.

Twilight’s head quickly turned in my direction before tackling me to the ground and screaming right in my face.

“SHE’S COMING!”

“Firstly, Ow. Secondly, can you get off me please?” I asked.

She used her magic to teleport off me and back to her original position.

“Good, now why do you look like your about to have heart attack?” I asked.

Spike then walked up to me with a piece of paper in hand.

“This” he said.

I took the paper and read it out loud.

My most faithful student,

I am greatly curious, and concerned about this mysterious Pegasus you have met, and wish to help him in any way. In order to do so, I must meet him personally.

I’ll be arriving sometime this afternoon. Please inform him of my arrival.

You’re Mentor,

Princess Celestia

“Oh, that’s why” I said.

“Yeah, Twilight always gets like this when Princess Celestia comes to visit” Spike said.

I looked back to Twilight who was using her magic to appear in front of each shelve and look closely at the books within them.

“Twilight, what are you doing?” I asked.

“I’m checking to see if the books are placed in alphabetical order” she said quickly.

“Why?” I asked.

Twilight quickly turned toward me and I instantly regretted asking.

“Why? WHY?!” she screamed.

She vanished again, only to appear right in front of me.

“The co ruler of Equestria, the pony who raises and sets the sun, is coming here, AND YOU ASK ME WHY I’M MAKING SURE THIS PLACE IS PRESENTABLE!!!” she screamed before teleporting back to her shelves.

I glanced over at Spike.

“Am I just fun to yell at?” I asked.

“No offense, but why aren’t you nervous?” Spike asked.

“Should I be?” I asked back.

“Well, even though Twilight is acting a little crazy right now, she does have a point. One of the most powerful ponies in all of Equestria is coming here to personally talk to you, and you aren’t even the slightest bit nervous about it” he said.

“Well as long as I mind my manners and don’t do anything stupid, I’ll be fine” I said.

“I guess you have a point there, Princess Celestia isn’t really the type of Princess who only cares about herself, plus she’s pretty laid back” he said.

“Sweet, so I guess the only thing left is to calm Twilight down” I said.

Both me and Spike looked over at Twilight and sighed.

“This is gonna take a while” I said.

“Yep” Spike said.

So after a good two hours of trying to calm Twilight down, the three of us sat in the lobby, awaiting the arrival of Princess Celestia.

“So Tyler, how was your walk?” Twilight asked.

“Pretty good, I met up with Rainbow Dash” I said.

“Really? Did you two do anything?” she asked.

“Well……she did help me with something” I said

“What?” Spike asked.

“She…uh…helped me…learn…how to…fly” I said.

The room fell silent.

“You…..can’t fly?” Spike asked.

“Well, I can now….somewhat” I said.

“What does ‘somewhat’ mean” Twilight asked.

“Well I can’t fly like Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, but I can at least hold myself in the air for a good 5 to 10 minutes” I said.

“Well besides that, did anything else happen?” she asked.

“Yes I did actually, but first I need to ask you something Twilight” I said.

“Okay” she said.

“While you were showing me around Ponyville yesterday, did you feel like were being watched?” I asked.

“Now that you mention it, yes, why?” she said.

“Because I found our little follower” I said.

“You did? Who was it?” she asked.

“A Pegasus mare by the name of Rosy Wind” I said.

Twilight put on hoof to her chin and thought about it.

“That name sounds familiar, but what did she want?” she asked.

“She told me she was curious about me” I said.

“You?” she said.

“Yeah, she said it’s rare that Ponyville gets any new ponies, and for some reason Stallions are rarer” I said.

Spike chuckled.

“Something funny?” I asked.

“Sounds to me this Rosy’s taking quite a liking to you” Spike said in a teasing tone.

“Spike!” Twilight exclaimed.

“What? I’m just stating the facts, am I right Tyler?” he said.

I looked over to Twilight and she gave me a nod, and with much pleasure, I bonked Spike on the back of the head.

“Ow! What was that for?!” he asked.

“For acting stupid, that’s why” I said.

“But I was just-

Spike was interrupted by a sudden bright light blinding me. When the light dimmed, a new pony had arrived, although this pony was way different than past ponies I met. For one, this pony was like twice the size of a regular pony, this pony also had both wings and a horn. She had a white coat and her mane and tail was actually a mix of blue, green, purple and pink, but what was strange was that both her tail and mane were flowing as if they were flowing in the wind. Lastly her cutie mark was the sun.

“Wait……sun…..both wings and horn………..HOLY SHIT THAT’S PRINCESS CELESTIA!!!!”

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight called before running off to her mentor.

Princess Celestia leaned down and wrapped her arm around Twilight and Twilight wrapped hers around Princess Celestia’s arm.

“Yay, hugs”

“It is good to see you again Twilight Sparkle” Princess Celestia said.

“Her voice……why does it sound familiar?”

While I was thinking of that, I didn’t notice that Twilight and Princess Celestia had separated from their hug and Princess Celestia looked at me.

“So you must be Tyler” she said.

Snapping out of my trance, I turned to Princess Celestia and nodded.

“Yes maim” I said.

She smiled at me in an almost motherly way.

“I do hope my student has been well behaved, she tends to ask a lot of questions” she said.

“Oh does she now” I said looking over at Twilight.

Twilight looked a little nervous, and of course being the nice guy that I am……..I kept poking fun at her.

“So Twilight, when’s my Q&A?” I said.

“W-Well...I-I”

Surprisingly, both me and Princess Celestia started to laugh at Twilight’s nervousness.

“Twilight, I think our friend here is done, isn’t he?” Princess Celestia said.

“Yeah, I’m done” I said.

Twilight sighed before glaring at me.

“Sorry, it’s just so fun sometimes to make you angry” I said.

Twilight opened her mouth to say something, but closed it before anything sound came out.

“Well…” Princess Celestia began.

Me and Twilight turned to Princess Celestia who wore a serious expression.

“Let’s discuss the matter at hand” she said.

Me and Twilight grew serious as well.

“Now Twilight, I would appreciate it if I could talk to Tyler alone please” Princess Celestia said.

Twilight hesitated to reply, but nodded her head and walked upstairs, leaving me alone with Princess Celestia.

“I just hope this conversation doesn't end with me being sent to the sun”

I opened my mouth to say something, but Princess Celestia cut me off.

“Before we begin, I must say something” she said.

I remained silent, only to hear six words that caused my entire body to go stiff.

“I know who you really are” she said.

Time seemed to slow down after she said those words. Multiple questions appeared in my head, questions like, ‘How did she find out?’, or ‘What’s gonna happen to me now?’.

Finally after what felt like an eternity, I spoke up.

“How?” I asked.

“Because I was the one who brought you here” she said.

My eyes widened in shock.

“She…she's the reason?”

“I-I don’t understand” I asked.

“Allow me to explain, you see, I’ve been watching you for a while now” she said.

“If I may, ‘you’ have been watching ‘me’” I said.

She raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, is there a problem?” she asked.

“No, I’m just curious, why me? I’m not exactly the most interesting guy on Earth, so being told that I was being watched by royalty kinda make me wonder what makes me so special” I said.

Princess Celestia let my words sink in before giving me a warm smile.

“Tyler, you are special” she said.

“I am...how?” I said.

“You see while I have been observing you, I’ve also been observing your world, and may I say you are quite different from most other humans” she said.

Now that I think back, I was always different from other people. That’s actually why I got bullied as much as I did during school.

“That still doesn’t explain why you brought me here, don’t get me wrong I’m grateful, it’s just that….

“That?” she said.

“Earth is my home. I’ve experienced so much there, and while not every one of those experiences are those I enjoy, I’ve also had some amazing ones. There I have friends and a family that I care for” I said.

Princess Celestia just stood there with an unreadable expression.

“I’ll never forget this, but can you send me back?” I asked.

She continued to look at me before speaking again, this time in a tone that sounded like one of grief.

“I’m afraid I cannot do that” she said.

“You….can’t?” I said

She slowly shook her head.

“W-Why not?” I asked.

She looked away from me.

“Tyler….what I’m about to tell you is going to hurt you, I wanted to avoid having to tell you this, but it appears is no other way” she said.

I wanted to stop her from saying it, but something in me wouldn’t allow it.

“Tyler, on Earth….you died” she said.

The room fell silent. I just stared at the Princess in front of me, not showing any emotion. Those two words bounced around in my mind before I was able to speak again.

“You’re lying” I said bluntly.

“Tyler I’m-

“Shut up” I said.

Her eyes widened.

“I don’t care what you say….I refuse to believe that I’m dead, now send me back to my word now” I said coldly.

“Tyler, please listen to me” she said.

“Give me one good reason why I should believe anything you say, and don’t give me any of that ‘Ruler of Equestria’ shit, because that’s not gonna cut it for me” I said.

Princess Celestia seemed a little surprised at my language, but didn’t say anything against it.

“I can prove it, but I don’t think you’ll like what you see” she said.

“I don’t give a rat’s ass, I want proof” I said.

“If that’s what you wish” she said

Celestia’s horn began to glow a bright yellow aura as she lowered it down to my head. Once it made contact, Twilight’s library was replaced with a strange area. It looked like Princess Celestia had taken us into space, but I knew it wasn’t.

“Where are we?” I said as I looked around the strange atmosphere.

“This is a special place, only me and anypony of my choosing can enter this place” she said.

“I see, not that this isn’t amazing, but right now I really just want to see this proof you got” I said.

“Very well” she said.

Her horn began to glow again before a white screen appeared in front of me. At first it was just blank, but soon a picture began to form. There was female human in a suit sitting in front of a desk next to a man in another suit. From the looks of it I’d saw it was a news broadcast for something.

“In local news, a tragic accident happened late last night, 16 year old, Tyler Walker died from a fatal car crash.”

Just that one sentence made my entire body go stiff, but unfortunately for me it didn’t stop there.

“The teenager was driving home when a drunk driver had impacted the front of the car, but because of the rain from a storm, Tyler’s car had lost traction and ran off the side of the road and into a tree and bursted into flames.”

The screen went to a tow truck carrying, what I assumed, was what was left of my dad’s truck.

“Friends and family mourn over the loss of the beloved teena-

The screen disappeared before the woman could finish.

“I’m so sorry Tyler” Princess Celestia said.

I remained silent with a blank expression, going over the information in my head.

“Tyler, are you okay?” she asked.

After a few more seconds of silence, I spoke.

“Can I ask you something?” I said.

“Of course” she said.

“Your magic, can it affect the people of Earth?” I asked.

“Yes, why?” she asked.

I took in a breath of air and looked up to the Princess.

“I want you to erase any trace of me from Earth” I said.

Her eyes widened at my request.

“Erase…you?” she said.

“Yes” I said.

“But….why?” she said.

“As long as my friends and family remember me, they’re gonna be mourning over my death. I don’t want them to mourn over someone’s who isn’t really dead. So please, can you do that?” I asked.

Princess Celestia stood there before giving me another one of her warm motherly smiles.

“Yes, yes I will” she said.

Her horn then started to glow and a series of small yellow sphere came out and flew off.

“Once those spheres touch your friends and family, they will lose all knowledge of you” she said.

“Thank you…now can you do me one more thing?” I asked.

She nodded and I lowered my head.

“Can you let me cry?” I said.

She didn’t hesitate to use her magic to pull me in and envelop me in her wings. I instantly felt warm inside.

“If you need to cry, please cry on my shoulder” she said.

Not holding the tears back anymore, I cried. Every emotion that was swirling inside my head, I was releasing. I continue to cry for a few minutes before I finally felt better.

“Are you alright now?” Princess Celestia asked.

“Yeah…thanks” I said.

“You’re welcome, now dry up those tears, we’re going back to the Library, and unless you want Twilight to ask a lot of questions, I suggest you dry them up fast” the princess joked.

I chuckled and wiped my eyes before the princess’s horn began to glow once again and teleport us back to Twilight’s library.

“So…now what” I asked.

“First, we must tell the your new friends who you really are” she said.

“WHAT!? WHY!?” I exclaimed.

Celestia looked at me in a way that reminded me of Chelsea.

“Tyler….I’ve been watching you for a while, which means I know you can’t keep a secret” she said.

“Hey! I’ve been keeping it a secret up until now” I said.

“Which is actually surprising” she said.

“Whatever, I’ll tell them” I said.

“Good, and don’t worry, I’ll be right beside you” Princess Celestia said.

“Thanks” I said.

“Twilight, you may come back now” Princess Celestia called out.

Twilight then descended from the stairs with a somewhat nervous expression.

“Is everything alright?” she asked.

“Yes, everything is perfectly fine” Princess Celestia said.

Twilight let out a sigh of relief.

“But…” I said.

Twilight turned her attention to me and tilted her head.

“But?” she said.

“I do need to tell you all something, so is it okay if we get the others here” I said.

Twilight looked at me curiously before agreeing and gathering the others. Once everybody had entered the room, I found

not only the girls, but also Rosy Wind.

“Yay, even more ponies to tell my secret to”

“Now that everypony is here, I believe Tyler has something he would like to say” Princess Celestia said.

“No disrespect, but why is she here?” Rainbow Dash asked motioning to Rosy.

“We met after you left, besides she was gonna figure this out sooner or later, might as well let it out now” I said.

“Let what out? Are you keeping something is a bag? Oh I hope its cupcakes, I love cupcake. I love cupcakes, especially-” Pinkie began

“It’s just a figure of speech Pinkie” I said.

“Anyway, what are you trying to say?” Twilight asked.

I sighed and begun my explanation.

“Twilight, you told me you found me unconscious at the edge of the Everfree forest, correct?” I said.

“Yeah” Twilight said.

“And that I had no memory of how I got there” I said.

Twilight nodded.

“It’s still a big blur, but I do know how I got there” I said.

“Really, that’s great!” Twilight said.

“Yeah, turns out Princess Celestia sent me there” I said.

Everypony gasped and looked to their celestial princess.

“Is that true Princess?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, but I did it in order to save Tyler’s life” she said.

“Save his…life?” Rosy said.

Everypony looked back over to me.

“But before we go into that, there’s something I need to tell you all if we’re gonna remain friends” I said.

They all nodded and I sighed.

“It’s gonna take a while for me to explain this, plus I don’t really know how to” I said.

“Just start from the beginning darling” Rarity said.

“Maybe it would easier if I showed them” Princess Celestia said.

“Huh?” I said raising an eyebrow.

Princess Celestia’s horn began to glow and a crystal sphere appeared out of nowhere.

“What is that?” Rainbow Dash asked

“Just something that will help Tyler with his explanation, now look take a look inside” she said.

We all gathered around the translucent sphere and saw a sight I never thought I see again.

Me………as a human of course.

I took a few glances at the others to see their reactions and only saw one….confusion.

“Could be worse”

“Who is that?” Twilight asked.

“What is that?” Applejack asked.

“It looks kinda funny” Pinkie said.

“…Funny?”

“And what is it wearing?” Rarity asked.

“What I’m wearing?”

I looked back at the sphere to get a look and saw that I was wearing a pair of old torn up jeans, black converse, a regular white shirt, and my favorite black hoodie.

“Hey, I’ve had that hoodie for 2 years, and it’s my favorite” I said without thinking.

Realizing what I just said, I looked to the seven mares and they were all looking at me with confused expressions.

“Uh, what?” Rainbow Dash said.

“Well THAT’S certainly a good way to tell them”

“Uh…surprise?” I said nervously.

“What do you mean ‘surprise’” Rosy said.

“He means what you see now is what used to be Tyler” Princess Celestia said.

Everypony quickly turned their head to Princess Celestia, to me, to the human version of me, and then back to me again.

“T-That’s….you?” Fluttershy asked.

“Uh…yeah, that’s me” I said.

“B-But how!?” Twilight asked.

“You see…….uh…., I don’t really know how to explain it” I said.

“Well you better hurry and find a way!” Rainbow Dash said growing a little annoyed.

I took a breath of air and began my explanation.

“It’s still all a blur, but according to Princess Celestia, I was about to die in that body, but before I could, she pulled me out of there and put me into this body” I said

Everypony stayed quiet, but were paying attention.

“After she did that, I guess she just placed me in some random location, which happened to be the edge of the Everfree Forest, and you all know the rest” I said.

They all took one last look at the sphere before looking back to Princess Celestia.

“Princess, how did you know he was going to die?” Twilight asked.

“For a while now, I have been watching Tyler while he was in the human world, I’m not sure why, but something about him was different from the other humans” she said.

“Humans? But I thought they were just an old pony’s tale” Rainbow Dash said.

“Oh the Anvil of Irony”

“Anyway, as I was watching Tyler, I saw that his life was about to end, but before it could I extracted Tyler from his old body and placed him in the body of a Pegasus” she said.

Everypony still remained quiet, still looking back between the human me and the new me. Finally after what felt like a few minutes, I decided to speak up.

“Before any of you say anything, I just want to say I’m sorry” I said.

“Sorry? For what?” Applejack asked.

“For not telling all of you sooner, I was telling the truth when I said I lost my memory, but only of how I got here. I still remembered I was once human and didn’t tell you because…I was scared of how you would react” I said.

I lowered my head with guilt, but before I could say anything else, I felt something on my shoulder. I looked up to see Twilight, with her hoof on my shoulder.

“Tyler…I understand that you were scared, but you have to understand that we’re your friends, and even though we’ve all just became friends, I can tell that all of us don’t think of you any different” she said in a comforting tone.

“You…don’t?” I said.

“No, what made think that?” Rosy asked walking up toward me.

“You’d be surprise how many people are like that on Earth” I said.

“Like what?” Twilight asked.

“First off I think I need to say that not all people are like that, but a majority of people I met always made fun of me because I was different, I never really let it bother me until it started to follow me wherever I went. Eventually it started to affect me, I won’t go into details, but I started worrying on how people saw me” I said.

Twilight moved her hoof off my shoulder and took a step back. I lowered my head once again.

"It became like a daily occurrence for me. Wake up, get dressed, go to school, get bullied, go home. I have learned to put all that behind me, but every now and then I do go back to it"

I let out a little chuckle.

“Sorry…I shouldn’t be boring all of you with some stupid stor-

Before I could finish my sentence, I was pulled into a hug from Twilight.

“W-Why are you…hugging me?” I asked.

“Because you need it you idiot” she said.

I was too shocked by her action that I didn’t notice the others coming closer until they joined in on the hug.

“Tyler…we’re sorry about what you went through, but you need to realize something” Rainbow Dash said.

“No matter what it is, if you need to talk to somepony, then come to us” Applejack said.

“We’ll listen, because we you know you would do the same” Rarity said.

“H-How can you be so sure? W-We’ve only just met” I said beginning to stutter.

“Because in that short time, we all know you’re not that type of pony” Fluttershy said.

“Besides, if we started not liking you now, how can I throw you a super duper ‘Welcome to Equestria’ party” Pinkie said.

I chuckled a little.

“As long as you are who you were before now, I don’t care what species you are, we’re friends” Rosy said.

I smiled.

“Thank you…all of you” I said.

“Well, since I see that everything perfectly fine, I’ll guess I’ll be leaving then” Princess Celestia said.

We broke from our hug and looked at the sun princess.

“Wait, princess!” I called out.

She stopped and turned to me, still with her signature smile.

“Yes?” she said.

“I just wanted to thank you again…for bringing me here” I said.

“You’re welcome, and I look forward to seeing how you’ll live your new life here in Equestria” she said.

“You and me both Princess”

With that said, her horn began to glow and she vanished.

With Princess Celestia

Celestia teleported back to the throne room where Princess Luna sat stood in front of a giant white door with a strange symbol on it.

"How did it go?" Luna asked.

"It went well, I didn't tell him about them" Celestia said.

"That's understandable, he's still new to this world" Luna said.

"So what should we do?" Celestia asked.

"Well if you ask me" a voice said from behind them.

The two princesses turned to see a bipedal creature with a brown robe.

"You shouldn't show up unannounced" Luna said in a cold tone.

"Oh come on Luna, what do I got to do to get you to like me, everypony else seems to" the robed figure said,

Luna just turned her head away.

"Anyway, what do you have in mind?" Celestia asked.

"As I was saying, why not let him get used to his new body, get used to this world, I mean he just learned that he can never go back to his world"

Celestia thought about it and nodded with a smile.

"That's a good idea, but how long do you think we should wait before telling him?" she asked.

"A few months, maybe longer"

"That sounds good" Celestia said.

"Well since that's settled, I guess I'll be leaving now" said the roped figure as he began to walk away.

He opened a portal and walked through,

I sighed and looked back to the door.

"Soon, it will open"
