  1. Day 2  
  2.  
  3. As you regain feeling you start thinking about what happened. You don’t remember falling aslee...
  4. Oh yeah... that tree... man that was one crazy ass dream.
  5. As you open your eyes you’re not blinded by light for once "thank god" you whisper to yourself. As you sit up you realize just how bad your head hurts. Putting you hand on your head you notice your head is wrapped up in bandages. Guess who’s ever house this is must have done it.
  6. Must be a ladies room; with pink sheets and all. But in this day you never know.
  7. You quickly stand up stretching. Then you get a head rush forcing you to fall back on the bed. As you lay there; waiting for the room to stop spinning. You hear steps coming your way. Finally time to get some answers!
  8.  
  9. *knock knock* "come in"
  10. Weird, why would someone knock in their own house? Matters not they are just being polite.
  11. "Glad to hear you’re awake darling you gave me quite the scare in the woods" come the voice from this morning. And to no surprise it’s the same hors, no pony from the woods.
  12. "Are you kidding me? You carried me from the woods ma'am?"  You ask expecting someone to come in.
  13. "Why of course i did. Just cause I’m a lady does not mean i cannot carry a... what exactly are you might i ask?"
  14. Those eyes, they seem so... yep that was no dream. Well unless that water had Acid or something in it.
  15. Or this could be some lucid dream, yeah that’s it you did hit your head pretty damn hard.
  16. So if it’s a dream means none of this is real, right?
  17. Fuck it; let’s see where this creepy as dream goes.
  18. “Are you ok? Do I need to call a doctor?” she says as she walks closer to the bed you’re in.
  19. "Oh I’m sorry ma'am where are my manors, my name is Anon. and I’m human, surly a lady of such beauty knows this." wtf brain? Where did the beauty part come from?
  20. Shut up anon let me get us out of this crazy dre... is she BLUSHING!?!?!
  21. "Oh such a charmer you are!" she says as she looks away. "I’m sorry but I’ve never heard of this "hoomen” there for you must be new around here.” She says handing you a glass of water. Wait woh woh woh rewind did she just HAND you that glass? How hooves? HOW!
  22. Brain to anon! Calm down i got this! "Ok brain take it from here"
  23. "Yes i am ma’am; may i ask where i am for the record?"
  24. "Yes darling, you’re in p0nyville, and please call me Rarity. Pleased to meet you; Anon."
  25. She says as she dips her head slightly. You down the water quickly hoping it would clear you head.
  26. "How is your head Anon? You hit that tree pretty hard...” omg, she looks so concerned
  27. "Got a headache but I'm fine thank you miss Rarity" You smile as you try to stand up for the second time today.
  28. "Miss Rarity may i ask what time it is? Also, if i may, use your washroom?"
  29. "Why of course! It is 10 in the morning, and the washroom is the last door on the right" she says as she points with her hoof.
  30. “When you’re done, come downstairs I have somepony I’d like you to meet.”
  31. After walking down the hall and using the wash room, you walk to the stairs you saw on the way to the washroom.
  32. “Miss. Rarity?” your voice a little louder than it should be but meh.
  33. "In here!" You follow the sound of her voice in to a new room.
  34. Stepping in you look around and realize it’s her kitchen. She's sitting at the table with, another pony and is that a lizard? Let’s see, green and purple scales, bipedal, Da Fuq kind of lizard is that!
  35. Damn this dream keeps getting weirder and weirder.
  36. Now you know how Alice felt going down the rabbit hole.
  37. "Come in Anon, meet 2 of my friends" she says happily. Pointing a hoof at the other pony she says "this is Twilight Sparkle and my little spikey wikey" she says as she points to the wired lizard thing.
  38. "Pleased to meet you both, my name is Anon" you say with a slight bow, walking in to sit with them.
  39. "ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh, I’ve never seen anything like you before!" says the purple pony with a look of shock and happiness on her face
  40. "Spike take a letter please? We need to record this!" she says as she hands him a piece of parchment and a quill?
  41. Out dated much? Damn can this shit get any weirder? No matter, this Twilight seems to think this princess will help after she gets this letter.
  42. As she talks to Spike, she tells him to write that with Rarity's help a new creature has been found and she needs to speak with them as soon as possible.
  43. After a long letter Spike rolls it up.
  44. “Oh Anon, Spike’s a dragon.”
  45. Moments pass by and Twilight explains that when spike torches a letter it's sent to right to the princesses, she also explains that there are two princesses that rule this land that you've never heard of. Equestria: something like that.
  46. Great, so much for only being lost in the woods...
  47. As you Twilight and Rarity talk (mostly Twilight asking questions about you, you answering, and every once and a while Rarity would ask a simple question) you notice spike looking like he's going to puke.
  48. Twilight decides she’s going take you back to her house and find out as much about you as possible.
  49. “You can’t just take off like that Twilight.” Rarity says.
  50. “There’s much I need to find out about Anon Rarity, time is short!” she says getting up putting the letter in her saddle bag.
  51. “No I insist we all eat before anything, poor Anon here must be starved.”
  52. As she says that your stomach lets out a loud rumble.
  53. “I suppose we have time to eat before we leave, thank you Rarity.”
  54. Twilight walks back to the table and sits down as Rarity gets, probably to make something.
  55. “Tell us Anon.” Twilight says turning to you. “What is it you eat? Rose sandwiches? Dandelion salads?”
  56. Do you really want to tell these ponies you eat meat? Hell should you mention you’ve ate ponies before? Probably not a good idea…
  57. “I’ll take a simple salad, no flowers please.” You say.
  58. “Coming right up!” Rarity says trotting around the kitchen.
  59. Then somehow a bowl fly’s in front of you.
  60. “How the HELL!” you yelp jumping up and throwing yourself in to the wall.
  61. All three of them just look at you funny.
  62. “How, what?” Twilight finally asks after a few seconds of silence.
  63. “How did that bowl, just FLY in front of me!?” You ask still hiding in a corner of the kitchen.
  64. “That’s simple, Unicorns can cast magic! Don’t you have magic where you came from?”
  65. “um no, so wait, Unicorns, Magic, Talking ponies. That’s it, I’ve gone completely crazy! That tree did me in!”
  66. Rarity walks over to you slowly, not letting her eyes leave your gaze.
  67. “Calm down Anon, you’re not crazy I assure you. Just come sit down and eat, you’ll feel better I promise.”
  68. It must have been the tone of her voice, or maybe the sense of unknown, whatever it was; after she spoke you felt almost calm.
  69. “O…ok…” you say walking past Rarity and retaking your seat on the floor at the table.
  70. After a minute or two staring at your salad, the others start noticing you’re not eating.
  71. “Anon, dude are you just going to stare at your food all day?” Spike finally asks.
  72. “huh? Oh no, I’m sorry. Do you happen to have any ranch?”
  73. “What’s this “ranch”?” Twilight asked.
  74. Damn these ponies have never heard of ranch.
  75. “oh nothing, never mind.” You say as you pick up some lettuce from the bowl and start eating.
  76. Ok seriously, this place is fucked up, you think. Maybe they can get you home?
  77. Breakfast continues in silence as one by one you all finish you respective meals.
  78. “Thank you for a wonderful breakfast Rarity, but we really must be going; I have tons to find out about Anon here.” Twilight says getting up from her seat once more.
  79. “Oh very well dear, I suppose I can’t hold you up any longer.”
  80. With that; Twilight, Spike and you all step out in to the bright sun.
  81. Forced to half close your eyes, not only from the bright sun, but also from the bright colors of this world.
  82. The houses of this town are like ones you'd find in old times, by that talking stone, wood, simple things.
  83.  
  84.  
  85. As you walk through town Twilight starts asking random questions ranging from where you’re from to how you got here, all while getting weird looks for all the ponies. After about 20 minutes of walking your standing in front of a HUGE tree, not only is it a tree. But a tree with god damn windows and a door! Like really what the actual fuck, this gives whole new meaning to a tree house. This place even has a sign hanging out side of it, on the sign shows a book. Ok not even going to ask.
  86. As the three of you get closer to the door; a pinkish red aura surrounds the door and it opens on its own.
  87. You get ready to flip your shit again but you remember the talk in Rarity’s kitchen, this place has magic. You really have lost you shit haven’t you?
  88. Continuing to follow Twilight, she leads you down a pair of stairs. Once you reach the bottom you notice machines. Oh shit they are EVERYWHERE! Like from wall to wall.
  89. “Please sit on the floor over there, I’ll hook you up and we can get started.” She says pointing one of her front hooves to a pillow on the floor close to one of the machines.
  90. Doing as you’re told you walk over to where she’s pointing and take a seat.
  91. “Now put your hooves err whatever those are up here.”
  92. Again you comply. That is at least until she locks your hands down!
  93. “What the hell is this!” you say. Your voice a little louder then it needed to be, but damn it man you hate being locked up!
  94. “Calm down Anon, it’s just temporary, it’ll give me readings on….”  That’s all you really heard. You’ve never been big on this science crap.
  95. “Now if you’ll you answer some questions as honest as you can we can get this over with.”
  96. You nod as she turns on whatever weird ass machine she has you hooked up.
  97. Pretty soon, paper starts flowing out of the back with lines on it. You aren’t able to read what it says from here.
  98. 4 hours later
  99.  
  100. 4 damn hours…. She has had you down here for 4 god damn hours! Needless to say you’re hungry, thirsty, and you have to piss.
  101. “Um Twi? Can we PLEASE take a break?” you say rocking side to side.
  102. “*sigh* fine, but only long a half hour break ok? We still have a lot to cover!” she says walking over to unhook your wrist restraints.
  103. “Sounds good, long enough to eat, drink and use the restroom!”
  104. She leads you back upstairs, points you to the bathroom and tells you to meet her in the kitchen when you’re done.
  105.  After finishing your business, you walk back downstairs and just so happen to find the door to the kitchen. Pretty easy; when there are only 3 different doors in this place.
  106. “So whatca got for grub Twi?” you ask.
  107. Spending the last 3 hours with this pony, you’ve gotten to know Twilight pretty well, just as she has you.
  108. She prefers you call her Twi, well for the time being anyway.
  109. “Well Anon, said to say I don’t have much in the way of protein, I can whip up some lettuce sandwiches if that’s ok?”
  110. Letting out a heavy sigh “that’s fine” you finally respond.
  111. Twi may be a pony but she’s not dumb, she knew right off the bat looking at your teeth that you eat meat. It was hard enough explaining the human diet, you had to stop many times while she was busy puking her guts out. You never did tell her you've had pony before… that would end very badly.
  112.  
  113. Few minutes later she floats a plate in front of you as well as a glass of some reddish liquid. Not really caring about the drink at the moment you dig in to your sandwich. Not the best you’ve ever had but you have to make due with what you get for free right? After a few bites of your sandwich you decide to try the drink she gave you. Picking up the cup, slowly bringing it to your nose you smell it. It has a rather fresh scent to it, almost like fruit punch back home but a little stronger. Throwing caution to the wind you quickly down the drink in 3 large gulps only to confirm that it was in fact some form of fruit punch, only a little sweeter, and WAY more flavor compared to fruit punch back home.
  114. After you finish your meal you look at Twilight, only to see her holding back a giggle.
  115. “What’s so funny Twi?” you ask. “Something wrong with my hair?” you say as you comb your hair back.
  116.  “Oh nothing” she says before busting out laughing. “No, really what is so damn funny??”
  117. She floats a mirror over in front of you and you see what she was laughing at, you had bread crumbs and red juice all over your face. Quickly cleaning your face you get up, pick her up and carry her heavy ass downstairs. Seriously this pony is freaking heavy….
  118. When you arrive downstairs Twilight jumps out of your arms and asks you to return to your spot.
  119. Knowing what she’s going to do you feel a little better about the restraints.
  120. “So this time Anon, I’m going to be doing some “other” tests, you may not like them but they need to be done.”
  121. “What kind of tes *ZAP* OW WHAT THE FUC *ZAP* TWI QUIET THAT SHI *ZAP* KNOWCK THAT SHIT OFF!”
  122. She’s using her magic to send shocks through your body, she is also sporting a VERY evil grin doing it!
  123. “Stop being such a filly Anon, that isn’t even the fun stuff yet!” she says writing something down.
  124. “Twi don’t you DARE do that shit again!”
  125. “I told you, you won’t like these tests but I have to do them, they show me how magic affects you. I’m sorry but I have to do them.”
  126. “Twi we don’t have to… OH SHIT IM ON FIRE FUCK FUCK FUCK PUT IT OUT PUT IT OUT!!!”
  127. This bitch right here is enjoying this WAY too much! After she puts your shirt out she moves on to the next spell. Which isn’t as bad as the first two, she managed to freeze your new burns which helped stop the pain.
  128. “You and I are gonna have some words when I get out of these cuffs Twi!”
  129. “You’re such a filly Anon, besides I’m done with magic for now. We can go back to Q&A for a little while.”
  130.  
  131. 3 hours later
  132.  
  133. After tons more questions from both you and her, you both decide to call it a night. Twi says your no threat to anyone unless they zap you with magic. After the last time she did you broke the cuffs holding you down. Needless to say she stopped her shit right then and there.
  134. “so what do we do now Twi?” you ask following her upstairs.
  135. “Well, if you would like you can help spike by handing him books so he can finish reorganizing everything.” She responds as you both arrive at the top of the stairs.
  136.  
  137. “I have to write to Princess Celestia and inform her that your no threat, I also need to talk to her about sending you home if that IS what you still want. I know you said you’d like to go home a few times today.”
  138. “If it isn’t too much trouble, I mean here I’ll stand out and I HATE standing out, plus I don’t know if I’l be much help, I mean hell you ponies have MAGIC! How can hands compete with that? Plus I have family back home.”
  139. The last part was a lie, you just REALLY didn’t want to stand out in this place, and being the only human would make blending impossible…
  140. “As you wish Anon, I’ll write to the Princess while you help Spike ok?” she says opening the door leading back in to the main room.
  141. “Spike.” She says walking up to a pile of books. “Anon said he’ll help you finish up down here while I write to the Princess, I expect the both of you to have all this done before I come back downstairs understand?”
  142. Both of you nod and she trots upstairs to the second floor.
  143. “I heard you screaming down there a few hours ago, you ok?” he asks as he continues putting books away.
  144. “Yeah, I’m fine, Twi just decided to test how I react to magic without a warning.”
  145. “Oh you're such a filly anon! can't even take a little magic!’ he says as you hand him more books.
  146. “She says I’m no threat, so long as no one pisses me off.”
  147. “nopony.”
  148. “Whatever, but I asked her if I could go home.”
  149. “So Twi’s going to ask Celestia to send you home?” he stops, turns to look at you.
  150. “Hoping so, I really hate standing out, and being the only human here will make blending kind of impossible.”
  151. “Well I hope they can send you home then.” He says with a smile.
  152. Damn everyone in this world has such expressive faces.
  153. “What do you say we hurry up and finish this stuff up so we can chill eh Spike?”
  154. “Sounds good, filly.”
  155.  
  156. So for the next hour Spike and you put every last book back up in the shelves, and there’s a SHIT TON of books in there. You kept one book out to read after you guys got done not knowing how long Twilight would take to write her letter herself.
  157. 10 minutes after you and Spike finished Twilight comes down and joins you and spike on the couch. Your just sitting there reading a Daring Doo book, Spike is reading “How you get noticed by a Mare” which struck you as odd seeing as he’s isn’t a pony but whatever.
  158. “Spike, I need you to send this letter please.”
  159. “Sure thing Twi” says the little dragon, jumping off the couch he waddles of to her, takes the letter and with a *poof* it’s gone.
  160. You and Spike go back to reading, Twilight is sitting there looking over the notes she took about you from today.
  161. After about 30 minutes you put your book down. Not knowing what else to do you ask Twilight if you can go for a walk.
  162. “Just be careful Anon, It’s getting dark out. Besides who knows when the Princess will write back."
  163.  
  164. “No problem Twi.”
  165. "wait, Do you know your way around town?"
  166. "well... no." you say looking at the ground.  "Then i'm coming with you." she says putting a light coat on.  
  167. "fine"
  168. As you walk out the door you catch a quick look at the clock above the fire place. You see it’s almost 7Pm.
  169.  
  170. So there you are walking around town, not a single pony in sight, and Twi about 10 steps behind you. Then again that’s no surprise, not only is it getting dark but they also know there’s so strange creature in town. That’s what you are to them, a strange new thing that they are afraid of. Twi took the time to explain the deal with her while you were locked to a desk earlier today.
  171. After 20 minutes or walking aimlessly around town you soon find yourself in a large clearing with nothing but only a few trees in it and a couple sing sets.
  172. Nice place for a park you think. By this time the moon is high in the sky with billions of stars all around. Back on earth you never had a view of the night’s sky like this. For lack of a better word the view was beautiful and breathe taking.
  173. Wanting to enjoy the night’s cool breeze you lay down under a tree, using one of the large tree roots as a pillow giving you an awesome view of the night’s sky.
  174. Lying under that tree, thoughts of home haunt you mind. You think the only person who will truly miss you is Rikoh. Your dad ran off when you were just a baby, and your mom passed away 5 years ago from lung cancer.
  175. Rikoh always did want you to be happy, and you definitely weren’t happy back on your earth. But could you be happy here? Being the one and only human here? No way. It’ll never work out.
  176. Lying under that tree you didn’t even hear the hoof steps in the grass creeping up on the unknown creature enjoying the nights sky.
  177. “Such a beautiful sight tis it not?” ask someone from behind the tree, causing you to jump a little not expecting anyone to be out.
  178. “Tis the beauty of the night, that I truly feel at peace. I never got this kind of view back home.” You say as you sit up getting ready to turn around to see this mystery pony.
  179. “We agree, the night is something the ponies here never understand for they all slumber while we work so hard to make the night so peaceful for them.” She says.
  180. “Well, I know why I’m am out here, why are you out so late ma’am?” you ask putting your back on the tree.
  181. “We enjoy taking nightly flights, tis our duty to ensure the safety of Equestria while our sister sleeps.” She says putting her back on the other side of the tree, or at least that’s what the sounds tell you.
  182. “May I ask the name of my mystery guest?”
  183. “Does thou not know his Princesses? For we are the Princess of the Night.”
  184. "Seeing as I've never seen anyone but Twilight and Rarity, no but Twilight did tell me about you, Princess Luna.”
  185. “So thou Knows Twilight Sparkle, and thou know of us, but we don’t know of you.”
  186. You hear her stand and her hoof steps approach your side sitting beside you. Turning your head you see a tall dark blue mare, she is as dark as the night, her mane and tail sparkle with little white spots almost as if it was one with the night’s sky. You see her horn is longer than Twilight’s, and she’s also sporting a beautiful pair of wings and like Twilight has a weird tattoo on her hind end. That was one of the few things you didn’t feel comfortable asking Twilight about during today’s events.
  187. “I am nobody, but yet at the same time I am someone, merely a mistake in a world that is so peaceful, a lost soul.”
  188. “Thou don’t sound happy to be here, but we understand what it is to be lost in this world. Let us converse and ease each other’s night shall we?” she almost sounds as sad as you feel.
  189. “I don’t mind the company Princess.” You say as you rub your back on the bark of the tree your resting on.
  190. “What troubles thou so?” she hasn’t stopped looking at the sky, her horn has been glowing since she came in to view and you swear from time to time you see stars moving from their place.
  191. “Honestly Princess, I feel… Geez I can’t even put how I feel in to words.”
  192. “Then be still and allow thou heart to speak for you.”
  193. Damn it’s a good thing you can semi understand old English otherwise this conversation would have been over by now.
  194. “Very well Princess.” You say taking a deep breathe holding it for a few seconds and then releasing it slowly.
  195.  
  196. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeZp6jja3mk
  197.  
  198. “Maybe I'm a dreamer,
  199. Maybe I'm misunderstood,
  200. Maybe you're not seeing the side of me you should,
  201. Maybe I'm crazy,
  202. Maybe I'm the only one
  203. Maybe I'm just out of touch
  204. Maybe I've just had enough
  205.  
  206. Maybe it's time to change
  207. And leave it all behind
  208. I've never been one to walk alone
  209. I've always been scared to try
  210. So why does it feel so wrong
  211. To reach for something more
  212. To wanna live a better life
  213. What am I waiting for?
  214. 'Cause nothing stays the same
  215. Maybe it's time to change”
  216.  
  217. You’ve never been much of a singer, but all you did was listen to Luna and that’s what came out.
  218. “Tis a beautiful song, could use a better singer, but twas beautiful none the less. Twould seem thou heart has made up its mind, maybe you should listen. We bid thou good night.”
  219. Even here ponied are trolls… but with nothing more for her to say she took off in to the night, gone as quick as she came.
  220. She did leave your mind a mess though. From what you gathered from the song you randomly sang, your hearts wants to stay but could you really stay here?
  221. “Geez this is going to be a long night.” You say out loud to yourself.
