>Day ??? in Equestria >Be Anon >And you're just starting to come to. >A has come to. >Yes. >You grunt, letting Applejack know you're alive. >"Anon? You're not hurt, are ya?" "I'm alright." >You slowly start to get up. "Urgh..." >Turns out the spell accidentally broke your foot. >Hurts like hell. >"Oof...guess Twilight did a number on ya, didn't she?" >You sighed. "Yep. Turns out long-distance teleportation is only safe for the caster." >She nodded. "Ah told her that it was a bad idea, but the girl wouldn't listen." >Shaking your head, you gave a chuckle. "Meh, it works." >You grunted as the pain in your leg started to flare up. "I mean, besides the whole making my foot limp thing and all." >She sighed. "Welp, hopefully you'll get better soon." >You nodded. >Hmm.. >You glanced at your phone/brick/whatever. "Anyway...I gotta head out." >"Where ya headed?" "To Pinkie Pie's. Still got a job to do." >She tilted her head. >Ruh-roh, were you not clear? "What?" >"Who's Pinkie Pie?" >Okay. >The absurdity of that question caught you offguard. >You laughed. "Bahahahah...'Who's Pinkie Pie?'" >She scowled. >"Seriously, 'Non. Who is Pinkie Pie?" >Oh shit she's serious. >You'd laugh even harder, but it's not like Applejack to lie about this stuff. >Maybe for a one-line joke. >But not like this. "Uh, pink hair pink mane? Bounces a ton, talks a kiloton?" >"Eenope." "Throws a ton of parties?" >"Can't say ah know her." >Oh boy. "Let me guess. You've got amnesia?" >She shook her head. "Nope. Anon, are y'all sure ya didn't hit your noggin on th' ground when you teleported here?" >Ohhhhhh boy. "I'm pretty sure. Unless..." >You try to think about where Twilight was going to send you. >Probably just to somewhere close to here. >However, this was a spell she hadn't tried before... >...! "Uh, okay. I need to check something. See you later, Applejack." >And you make your way back to Ponyville and over to Sugarcube Corner. >But as you walk up to the door, you are blinded by a hoof over your eyes. >And you hear a distinct giggling as the other hoof embraces your torso in a tight hug. >"Hey Nonny! Guess who?" >Phew, at least you're not completely crazy. "George Washington," you state, jokingly. >"Nope!" she giggled, her hold on you growing. "Princess Celestia." >"I wish." >You would have shaken your head were it not being held in place by Pinkie. "Evil Emperor Zurg." >"Not even close!" "Pinkie Pie, I know it's you," you finally say. >That joke was starting to get old. >"Wow, you're way off." >Wait what. "Then who the fuck-" >It's about this time that you noticed that your feet were no longer on the ground. >... >Wait WHAT. "WHY ARE MY FEET NOT ON THE GROUND?" you yell out of fear. >"C'mon, Nonny, don'tcha recognize me?" asked the pony that was apparently not Pinkie. "APPARENTLY NOT." >You struggle to break free, not even caring that you're gonna fall. >However, you're soon restrained by the hoof that was formerly on your eyes. >Okay. >Thank FUCK you can at least see clearly. >You look down. "Don't look down~" >Too fucking late for that. >Yep, sure enough you're in the fucking air. >How the fuck- "If you're not Pinkie then who the fuck-" >"Pinkie" turned your body around so she could see you face to face. >And...well.. "Surprise!" "What? What happen?" >"That's my name, silly!" >Oh. "Oh." >Okay, that's- "Wait what." >Sure enough, it's a pony that looks almost exactly like Pinkie. >If Pinkie were blonde and white and a fucking pegasus. >Okay. >You take a minute to let that sink in. >This is Ponk. >Except she's calling herself Surprise for some reason. >And she's also a pegasus and not pink. >You shook your head. "Okay, Pink- I mean, Surprise. What in the WORLD is going on?" >"Well, okay so I woke up at like 6 in the morning to get supplies for the party later this evening, and-" "No I mean, like-" >But before you could stop her, she started to ramble. >"-and then I went back to Sugarcube Corner to help Mr. and Mrs. Cake with baking and-" "Pinkie." >"THEN I went with Applejack to go visit-" "PINKIE!" you yell. >After she stops rambling, you finish what you were trying to say. "Where AM I?" >"Riiight here!" >FUCKS SAKE "Okay, y'know what? I need answers, you're not getting them to me. I know for a fact you're not answering them. Where's Twilight?" >She pointed to where a hole in the ground should be. >There's no hole in the ground. >There IS a treehouse, though. >Not a castle, a treehouse. >You don't remember ever seeing one of those in Equestria. >"She's at home. Wait..." >She narrowed her eyes. >"Weren't you doing an experiment with her earlier this morning?" "Actually, yes, but I think something went horribly wrong." >She shrugged. "She tends to do that." >No kidding. >"Ooh! We should go visit her and tell her everything's just super-dandy!" >Before you can say otherwise you find yourself whisked away to Not-Friendship Castle. >The interior of what you're dubbing Starbutt Treehouse is pretty much what you'd expect from a house built into a giant-ass tree. >Roomy as fuck, candle-lit, wood all over the place. >Feels kinda cozy, you gotta admit. >Once you and Surprise landed in the front door, you look around. >Books are littered all across the shelves. >MAN, Twilight's got a problem. >"TWILIGHT!" yelled Surprise. "YOU IN THERE?!" >You hear a quiet voice come from upstairs. >"Shhh! Surprise, you're in a library!" >Alright, here goes nothing. "YEAH, BLONDIE, SHUT THE HELL UP!" >Surprise looked at you in shock, prompting you to wonder what you said. >Usually that gets Pinkie to chuckle. >"'Blondie?' Not even -you- call me that." "Well, see, there's a reason-" >You hear a couple of hoofsteps come bounding down the stairs. >And that's when you see her. >A pink unicorn with white hair, with a dark purple streak. >That CAN'T be Twilight. >"Anon? You're alright!" she says, in the normal Twilight voice. >OH GOD IT IS. >Okay, play it cool. >Gather as much info as you possibly can. >Assess the situation. >Don't fuck this up. "Uhhh..." >I said don't fuck this up. "Okay, this is gonna be incredibly awkward." >"Well? Where did the spell send you?" >Okay, so she sent "Anon" to somewhere. >She's assuming you're HIM. "Well, here's the thing. The teleportation spell sent me to Sweet Apple Acres." >She tilted her head. "Y'know, the apple farm?" >"You're thinking of Big Apple Orchard." >Oh great. "Whatever. Problem is, you didn't cast that spell. Someone else did." >She blinked. "Oh? So wait...you were at the Golden Oak when I cast the spell. It sent you to Big Apple Orchard, but you remember somepony else doing it." "Yeah. Someone else named Twilight. See, here's the problem - I'm Anon, but I'm not actually -your- Anon." >They gasped. "T-Then...where are you from?" >You paused for dramatic effect. "I am from another world. Another Equestria."
