- He came from the sky...
- >be Anon
- >laying in your bed, late at night
- >”ugh…” putting a pillow over your head in a feeble attempt to get comfortable, you look at your clock next to the bed
- >2:42 AM…
- >”Damn it all to Hell…” you mutter as you throw your blankets off of you and climb out of your bed
- >you walk into your kitchen and pour a glass of Milk, heat it up and walk outside to your porch
- >darkness swallowed all but the porch, sitting down in a lawn chair, you look up at the sky which was twinkling with stars
- >”ah…” you sigh silently as you sip your milk and stare up at space
- >you notice a star… moving pretty fast…
- >and it looks like it’s getting closer…?
- >placing your milk down next to the chair, you rub your eyes to make sure you haven’t slipped into a weird dream
- >”nope. it’s real.”
- >the star is getting closer and closer.
- >HITTHEDECK!
- >you quickly run into your house, knocking over the glass of milk and spilling it all over the deck
- >the star crashes into your yard
- >peaking out the window, you notice the ‘star’ is actually a rock
- >...a meteor crashed into your backyard.
- >surprisingly, you are not surprised. stranger things have happened.
- >no, really. stranger things have happened.
- >cautiously, you walk out to the backyard
- >you notice a ghastly green glow emits from the meteor
- >as you step closer, the glow intensifies
- >”what the fuck?” you whisper
- >this is some alien shit right here
- >suddenly, a quiet humming starts to emit from within the meteor
- >it starts to glow brighter as you continue walking toward it, as if caught in a trance
- >”what the Hell? no… stop walking…” your body continues to involuntarily move toward the object
- >the humming grows louder and louder, as it glows as bright as fifty suns
- >you stop a few inches infront of the rock, lifting your right hand and placing it on the rock
- >immediately after you touch it, the humming starts going quiet as a green beam shoots from the sky and down on to you
- >”oh God…” you can only mutter before you fall to the ground unconscious
- >suddenly, you, along with the rock, and beam, vanish from the yard.

- >You are Octavia
- >currently you are trying to practice for a recital, but it’s not really working out as well as you want it to
- >”ugh…” you sigh as you screw up a note
- >taking a glass of water down from the table next to you, you take a drink and then quickly get back to work
- >recently, you have been having trouble playing music. this sort of problem really worries and upsets you, seeing as to how music is your entire life.
- >”THAT IS IT!” you tell in frustration as you mess up 3 notes in a row
- >placing your cello down on the floor next to your chair, you open the door to your room and walk outside for a nice walk through town, no matter how much you fight against the idea of cutting practice
- >all thoughts against the walk instantly disappear once you see the beautiful Equestrian Sunset
- >walking down the road and looking up at the sky, a small smile forms on your lips
- >taking a turn toward the direction of the park, you notice the sky has grown darker as the Sun starts to set down and the moon begins rising
- >the smile grows wider as you marvel at the display
- >”I should come out here more often…” you frown, knowing that you always say that to yourself when you do this but never follow up. usually every few months you come out here.
- >most of your waking hour is spent playing music, going to events to play said music, and then going back to practice more music.
- >you would like some friends, but you just don’t have time. it’s a sad, sheltered existence really.
- >but it’s what you were born to do.
- >sitting on a park bench, you notice the entire park is empty except for you
- >night has set in around you, the moon shining down upon you
- >looking up at the moon, you don’t feel so alone in the world for some reason.
- >you fail to take notice to somepony… or something… falling from the sky
- >”what in Equestria…?” you mutter
- >the something comes plummeting down into the grass next to you
- >”Oh my word!” you hop off the bench and rush to the creature’s aid
- >looking at the creature, you quickly realize it’s not pony. it’s unlike anything you have ever seen before
- >”what… what is this?”
- >the creature has a few scrapes and cuts, but surprisingly nothing serious. especially surprising considering the huge fall
- >but still, it’s out cold.
- >you are pulled from your thoughts when the creature grunts in pain
- >obviously, the creature needs help. and you simply can’t just leave it here.
- >unable to think of a plan, you decide to take him to Twilight, you have heard amazing things about her and her friends. she should be able to shed light on this, or at the very least help the creature.
- >”Twilight’s library shouldn’t be far from here…” you matter as you walk over to the creature and sling it over your back, and for the next hour you struggle with getting it to the library
- >after finally nearing the library, the creature moans in pain
- >walking up to the door, you prepare to knock and hope that Twilight is still awake
- =
- >Be Twilight
- >pretty late outside, but you’re up reading
- >as usual
- >you are pulled out of your book by someone knocking at the door
- >”hm, who could that be?” you mutter as you climb out of your bed and walk down the stairs
- >the knocking gets faster and louder
- >”I’m coming! sheesh!” you yell as you unlock the door and open it
- >you are met by Octavia, you smile and greet her
- >”oh, hello Octavia. what can I do for you-” you quickly notice the creature she has on her back
- >”who is… what is that?” you point to it
- >Octavia looks like she is going to collapse
- >”water… need water please…” she says, exhausted from the long trip
- >you shrug and invite her in
- >after you bring her a cup of water, she starts talking about the creature
- >”I was out for a walk in the park, and it just… fell out of the sky.” she put it simply
- >”fell out of the sky?” you ask, raising an eyebrow
- >she shrugs “it’s as strange to me as it is to you.”
- >the creature in question is currently strewn across the couch
- >”well… it doesn’t like anything from Equestria…”
- >the creature stirs and mumbles something about meteors
- >”meteors? it speaks Equestrian?” you think aloud, trying to grasp at the straws “it also doesn’t look very hurt… nothing too serious, but the fall probably knocked him out. he should be fine soon.”
- >Octavia clears her throat
- >”Well… I’d hate to leave it with you… but I kind of have to go, it’s awfully late out… do you think you can handle it without me?” she asks awkwardly “if it’s not big deal of course.”
- >you agree to watch after the creature, curious to it’s origins.
- >after Octavia leaves the treehouse, you cover the creature in a blanket and go upstairs to get some sleep. maybe in the morning it will be awake.
- =
- >You are Anon
- >”ugh”... you grunt as you awaken
- >it feels like you have been trampled by a stampede of bulls, drank fifteen beers and then got dragged through a corn field via tied to the back of a moving car
- >in a feeble attempt to sit up, you try to push yourself up using your arms
- >waves of pain shoot through your body as you collapse to the couch
- >...couch?
- >you open your eyes and look around at the foreign area
- >looks like you are in some old fashioned library, everything made of wood
- >”Oh, good! you’re awake!” you hear a voice from behind you
- >”yeah…” you make another attempt to sit up, but the pain is once again unbearable and you fall down to the couch again
- >”oh, you must be in pain.”
- >nah man, I’m only grunting and crying out in pain when I try to get up because it’s a good way to relieve stress
- >”here, this will help.”
- >you expect whoever it is to bring you some type of medicine, but instead you begin to glow purple and after a few seconds, you feel a wave of energy course through your veins, eliminating all pain
- >”your wounds will still be there, but this should help you walk around. or atleast get off the couch.” the voice continues.
- >”thanks.” you mutter “I didn’t get your name”
- >”Twilight Sparkle.”
- >”well Twilight,” you get up and turn to her “it’s a pleasure to make your aq-”
- >...
- >it’s a fucking purple unicorn.
- >you stare at her with wide eyes
- >”hello?” Twilight starts to look worried
- >rubbing your eyes to make sure you aren’t in some weird dream, you look at her
- >”I- I’m sorry… where is this?” you are still in disbelief that you are talking to a motherfucking unicorn
- >she smiles
- >”this is Equestria… you aren’t from around here, are you?” she casts a quizzical look as she observes you
- >...no shit I’m not from around here
- >”I don’t think I’m even from this dimension…” now you have her complete attention
- >”details please?” she pulls a notebook and pencil out of no where, her horn glows with purple light as it floats in the air along with the pencil, prepared to write what you have to say
- >weighing your options, you decide to go ahead and tell her how you got here
- >”well, what happened was…”
- >so there you went, talking about the strange meteor which crashed into your yard, the weird beam of light, and then how you free-fell from the sky into the dimension
- >after you finish your story, she has written what seems like a fucking entire book of shit down into the notebook
- >”a glowing rock… and a beam of light which teleported you here?” a few books hovered down off a shelf and were suspended in mid air next to her
- >”I’ll have to read up about this… later… for now I would like to know a few things about your dimension, where you came from, if that’s fine with you.” she asks as the notebook is put down on a table and another notebook floats in to fill its place
- >”alright, but if I tell you about where I came from, you have to tell me about Equestria.”
- >”Deal.”
- >for the next few hours, you describe to her your home, your race, your dimension, pretty much everything you can. religion, evolution, war, everything.
- >after you finish telling her all you can, you both sit in awkward silence as Twilight finishes writing in her notebook
- >the notebook hovers down on top of the one she placed down earlier, thus commencing the next few minutes of awkward silence.
- >”wow..” she mutters “your home doesn’t really sound like a nice place…”
- >you frown.
- >”it kind of isn’t…”
- >another few moments of silence
- >”Well.” she perks up “time to fulfill my end of the bargain I guess.”
- >for another few hour
- s, you are told about Equestria, how apparently there are Unicorns, Pegasus, and Earth Ponies that inhabit the realm, along with another array of strange creatures, how the Sun and the Moon are controlled by 2 powerful deities, how there is a city in the clouds, everything.
- >”wow… amazing…” you mutter
- >this… this is an entirely different world than where you came from… but do you really belong here?
- >...
- >let’s find out.
