What Am I Doing Here? - Return To Earth

Day 1 - Educational System

Well, there I sat aboard the bus. Sitting near me were three girls who were from another universe. One was a bug-like creature who feeds on love while the other two move the celestial bodies. Sounds like a bad script for some weird arse fanfic.

So while Luna and Celestia were talking to themselves behind us, me and Chrysalis were left to each other.

"So, Chrissy-"

"Don't call me that."

Well, that surprised me. I nod slowly and clear my throat.

"So, Chrysalis, how much time passed in Equestria before you came here?"

Chrysalis shrugged nonchalantly.

"Roughly 3 minutes. I acted very quickly and alerted Celestia and Luna via teleport. They agreed to come here as soon as possible."

I chuckled and scratched my head.

"3 minutes? Christ, Dash would be jealous at that speed. How did you pull that off?"

Chrysalis smirked and waved a finger.

"You can do a lot in 3 minutes."

I held back a loud laugh at that, reminding me of the Doctor.

"So, you teleported to the Princesses and brought 'em here. Good job, Chrysalis. I owe ya my life. I don't know how long I'd be able to keep my sanity if I knew I could never go back to you, Roseluck and the fillies."

Chrysalis shrugged once again and looked away from me.

"Yeah, sure."

Okay, what the hell? Chrysalis has been acting a bit distant from me ever since she arrived here.

"Chrysalis, is something bothering you?"

She shook her head once again.

"No, why would you ask?"

"Well, for one thing you seem to be distracted."

She turned her head to face me very quickly. Her eyes showed fury.

"That idiot Discord thinks that he could bring you here and not upset anypony?! I swear...."

She raised a tightly clenched fist.

"When we get back to Equestria, I will personally rip out his chaotic heart!"

She slammed her fist into her open hand, trying to emphasize her point. She crossed her arms and slumped back into the chair.

"Wow, Chrysalis. All he did was bring me here. Honestly I am also angry at him, but not that angry."

She huffed and stayed in her position.

"I don't care. He deserves to pay after what he did to you, me and everypony else."

I sighed and looked out the window.

"Excuse us, but we need to ask you something Crystal."

I twisted my head to face Celestia.

"Hm?"

"Where are we going?"

I twist the rest of my body around to face her with a confused look.

"Didn't Chrysalis inform you of anything?"

"No. By the time we got here this vehicle was nearly her. She merely told us to follow her lead. I must admit, I had to hold back Luna. She was glad to see you are okay."

Celestia's head was pulled back and replaced with Luna's adorably smiling face.

"We are glad to see you are well Crystal!"

She did that thing where they smile then make a squeak noise before her head was pulled back and replaced with Celestia's.

"As I was saying, where are we going?"

I got over the fact that Luna did the smile-squeak and cleared my throat.

"We're going to my school. I am only 16, remember. Oh wait, am I still over 3000 or did that change?"

Celestia nodded.

"Indeed. Discord reversed time here, not in your biology."

I fist pump.

"Wicked."

Celestia rolled her eyes and sunk back into her seat. Chrysalis coughed, which brought my attention back to her.

"Hey, Chrysalis?"

"What."

I reached over and grabbed her in a hug.

"Thanks for coming back here and getting me."

She kept her arms crossed for a few seconds before giving in with a smile and returning the hug.

"What are friends for?"

I smiled and broke the hug. I looked out the window and saw many buildings passing us by.

"We're almost there. Just a bit longer."

I heard Chrysalis laugh very loudly. I looked back to see her poking Colby's unconscious body. She looked back to me with the most amused face ever.

"Did you do this to him?"

I smirk and nod. She laughs harder.

"That fucker deserved it."

I laughed and nudged her.

"Some of my vocabulary sinking in to you or something?"

She giggles lightly and gives me a wink.

~~~~~First Period, English in C6 ~~~~~

Me and Chrysalis had no problems finding our lockers and checking our classes. We needed to get Celestia and Luna some equipment (Chrysalis used a spell and just magicked some in) but other than that everything was going smoothly. We had English first off. Others would hate the subject, but I find it rather easy. The subjects I excel at are English, History, and IT. But I suck horribly at Maths.

So anyway, we sat in the classroom with about 17 other students. I always preferred sitting in the front of any class. Dunno why. We were waiting for the teacher Mr. Kelly to come in and teach us about whatever.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned to face Luna. She and Chrysalis sat either side of me and Celestia was seated on the other side of Luna.

"Why do you need a class to teach you about a language you already speak?"

I lightly laugh. I ask myself the same thing everyday.

"Some students don't have a very good vocabulary. I for one have an impressive vocabulary for my age. It kinda irritates me when a student doesn't know a word that is so simple to me yet impossible to them."

She nods in agreement.

"When I came back from the moon, I still spoke in olde tongue. I needed to learn how to speak modern Equestrian."

I almost forgot about that. I can relate to Luna. I'm basically in the same situation she was right now...

At that moment the teacher walked in about 15 minutes late. He turned to the class and nodded curtly.

"Good mourning, class."

The rest of the class mumbled a response. I heard a scoff and looked to see Celestia with an unamused look on her face. The teacher walked over to his desk and pulled out a large folder. He opened it up and began speaking.

"Today we are-"

The door to the classroom swung open and revealed a male student. He looked sweaty and slightly shaky.

"Sorry I'm late-"

"No excuses. Detention after 2nd Period. Come to my office."

The student cringed slightly and sighed, looking down in shame.

"Yes, Mr. Kelly."

The student walked to the back and sat in the last row of tables.

'Who does he think he is?'

Holy fucking duck shit that made me jump slightly. I recognized the voice as Luna's, but I heard it inside my head.

'What do you mean, Luna?'

I ain't questionin' how she's in my head. Because magic.

'He thinks he can stroll in the class at any time without an excuse and he punishes a student who does the same? With Celestia and Twilight, every class they had both of them had to be punctual.'

I mentally laugh.

'Guess that's where Twilight developed her OCD-like personality, right?'

Luna lightly nodded. Mr. Kelly stood up and walked to the whiteboard with a marker.

"Okay everyone. Turn to a new page of your notebook and start writing this down."

I open my book and pull out a pen from my pencil case. Celestia and Luna watched me carefully and copied me. Chrysalis was already set before he even asked. He began writing down these 'complicated' words and their meanings, telling us it was all in preparation for an upcoming topic. I looked over to Chrysalis. She was writing down the words without flaw. When I looked over to Luna and Celestia though...

They had not written anything down. I nudge Luna in the shoulder and whisper to her.

"Why haven't you written anything?"

She leaned towards me.

"We cannot read the words! We only read Equestrian languages. This is alien to us!"

I instantly donned the 'Oh Shit' face at the realization. I quickly glance back to Chrysalis. She was writing down the words like a pro. I sigh and look to Luna.

"Can't you, like, magic the words into your head or something?!"

It was really hard to talk quietly. Mr. Kelly looked behind him and shushed us. Me and Luna lowered our heads.

"I can read the knowledge inside another mind and learn it that way. It works much like Telepathy."

I groan lightly.

"Fine. Do it to me."

She nods and lowers her forehead to mine. What happened next felt.......strange if anything. First it felt like my brain turned to water and was flowing out of my ears towards Luna. It stopped as soon as it started. Luna leaned away and winked.

"Thank you."

I nod and wave a hand.

"Yeah. Anything for a friend."

Luna smiled and looked back to the board and began taking down words. I took a look to Celestia and saw she must've done the same to another. Heh.

I groan and look to the board and began taking down notes. After fucking christ knows how long he stopped writing and merely went to his desk and took a seat. I was almost done writing everything down. I glance to Luna and Celestia. They had already written everything. I groan and looked to Chrysalis. Yep. Everything is down. I sigh and continue writing.

'God, the things I would do if I was a freakin' Alicorn.'

'What would you do?'

I laugh quietly.

'Luna you have no idea how much of a rarity you are here. We have *no** magic here. If everyone could do what you could, this world would be so much simpler and peaceful.*'

I finished writing and looked to Luna. She was staring at her page with a sad look.

'Is this world really as bad as you told Celestia?'

I frown and sigh.

'...Yes. This world is dangerous and terrible. But there is some good in it. Some, very small amount of good.'

I glance to Luna. She was smiling lightly.

'Is that why you wish to return to Equestria?'

'Well that and Roseluck.'

Luna smiled wider at that.

*Ding. Ding. Ding. Ding.*

The classroom erupted into noise as everyone collected their possessions and left to go to the next class.

~~~~~4th Period, IT in F8 ~~~~~

Me and Celestia sat together at one computer while Luna and Chrysalis sat together at the computer adjacent to us.

"So this computer is much like your tiny laptop but more powerful?"

I nodded with a frustrated look. Teaching IT to someone who knows nothing about it is a pain.

"Yeah. This can do all the things my laptop can but better. Well, not better than mine. Ever since I upgraded my laptop with my screw driver it beats this thing by miles. But normally laptops are weaker than these computers."

She nodded and started randomly tapping keys.

"Interesting."

I roll my eyes and look to Luna and Chrysalis. The were playing a game on a school monitored site and they looked like they were having a blast. I flip out my screwdriver and duck under the desk while Celestia was moving the mouse and tapping the keyboard.

I put the screwdriver in my mouth and pulled the case of the tower out. I looked inside to see the hardware. i3 Processor. Not bad, but not great. 1GB RAM. That's fucking terrible. The only graphics card in here was the on board one, an Intel (HD) GPU.

Time for an upgrade.

I aim my screwdriver at the interior and sonicked it. I slapped the casing back on and dusted my hands. I rose up to see Celestia on Google Images looking at phoenix's.

"Don't you have a pet phoenix?"

Celestia smiled and nodded.

"Yes, I do. Perhaps I shall get one of her eggs for a birthday present for you."

My eyes grew wide. A pet phoenix?

.......

THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME!

I shook my head before I became comatose and began drooling. I reached over and grabbed the mouse and keyboard from Celestia's grasp.

"Wanna play a prank?"

Celestia grew a wicked smile and looked to me expectantly.

"What did you have in mind?"

I laugh heartily and crack my knuckles.

"Look over to Luna and Chrysalis as I work my magic."

Celestia looked over and saw them playing "Paint Ninja" on the school website while laughing with joy.

Until my virus program got into their computer and froze the screen.

Chrysalis stopped laughing and tapped the screen, hoping to make it work. Sadly the screen went black pixel by pixel and went completely black. Chrysalis and Luna looked at each other with frowns.

"The fun has been subtracted."

I chuckled and Celestia looked over to me. I was leaning back in the chair with my screwdriver spinning on a finger. She laughed mischievously.

"How did you do that?"

I raise a finger to my lips.

"My secret."

~~~~~End of Day ~~~~~

Me, Celestia and Luna climbed aboard the bus and we all sat in the same seats. I look over to the Princesses.

"So, what did you think of school?"

Celestia huffed.

"Besides the nerve of the first teacher, it's not bad."

Luna smiled with a nod.

"Indeed. Me and Chrysalis were having a joyous time on the computers. Until the machine stopped working."

Me and Celestia held back a laugh. Chrysalis smiled.

"It was great, Crystal."

I grinned widely. Glad to see everything going alright. After a minute I saw Colby climb aboard and look over to me. His face grew a fearful expression as he sat in the 2nd row far away from us. Chrysalis smirked brightly.

"That's right, wanker."

~Later At Home, Backyard~

Me and the 3 girls were looking at the caravan In my backyard. I smiled bashfully and waved a hand towards it.

"As long as you be careful, Dad won't even know you're here. It's got power and water so you won't be cold. There are 2 queen sized beds and 2 bunk beds. Sorry I don't have a better set up for ya."

Luna smiled and gave me a massive hug. Her boobs were like right up in my face.

"Thank you, Crystal."

"CAN'T. BREATHE."

Luna pulls away and I gulp down air like a vacuum. That's the second time this has happened to me. I smile weakly and open the door for them.

"I'll get you food when I can. In the meantime I'll get my PlayStation 2 set up out here for you three."

Luna and Celestia climbed inside the caravan. Chrysalis hung outside with a unsure look on her face. I smile like a goofball and laugh.

"What's wrong? I ain't carrying you in."

Chrysalis laughed at my joke.

"Can't blame a girl for trying."

She climbs inside and I close the door.

"Good night!"

I stroll back inside my house and sneak into my bedroom. I hop on my PC with a big smile.

'Not long before I return, Rose. Just wait a little bit longer.'

I bark a laugh at the irony of the statement.

'Well, *I** gotta wait longer. To you it's like 5 minutes have passed.*'
