>you wake up back in the princesses bed
>Celestia, Luna and Twilight, are to your left, while Spike is sitting on the bed to your right
>Luna, in the middle, look exhausted, it must take a lot of energy to produce that kind of magic
>TS:"Well? ...How do you feel?"
>you felt like your heart was going to explode via maximum overfeel
>but deep down, you did find closure, and it did help your mind ease
A:"...I...feel better, thanks to Luna of course."
>Luna eventually grants you a small smile, after catching her breath
>C:"I just hope you can accept the new life you have been given."
>everyone is staring at you
A:"Y-yes, I think I can."
>Celestia puts a hoof on your shoulder
>C:"You were very brave."
>S:"It tool a lot of guts to go through that, didn't it?"
>TS:"Spike!"
A:"Nonono, its okay. It was difficult at first, but I came to accept it."
A:"I think I'll be alright here in Equestria."
>L:"Splendid! Now if you excuse us, we are needing the royal bedchambers."
>C:"Of course, lets give Luna some rest. She has earned it."
>you get out of bed, following Celestia, Twilight, and Spike
>Celestia shuts the door to the bedroom behind you
>you weren't certain, but you were sure you could have heard a *flop* of a princess falling onto a mattress
>as you follow everyone down the hallway, a thought occurs to you
A:"Hey Twilight, how long was I out?"
TS:"About... 14 hours."
A:"Oh... um, princess, I just realized that I don't really have a place to stay-"
>TS:"Oh nonsense! You're more than welcome to stay with me and Spike at the library."
>wow, that was really generous Twi, are you sure you're not Rarity?
>C:"I see no problem with that Twilight. Just promise that he will not cause any trouble."
>Twilight and Spike look at you
>you cross your left hand over your chest, and raise your right hand
A:"I, Anon Y. Mous, hereby promise to not be a burden, disturbance, or law-breaker from now on until eternity. So help me God."
>C:"Hmm. Then you have my blessing Anon."
A:"Thank you, Celestia."
>you, Twilight, and Spike start to walk towards the exit of the castle
>TS:"Anon."
A:"Yes Twilight?"
>TS:"I've heard you mention a few times back with the princesses, and you swore to something called 'God'."
A:"..."
>TS:"What exactly is 'God'?
>S:"Yea, is that like a person, or an idol, or what?"
>andherewego.gif
A:"W-well Twilight, we humans back on Earth have these things called 'religions'."
A:"A religion is something humans like to believe and worship in, its sort of like how citizens worship a king and queen."
>TS:"Or like how we ponys worship the princesses?"
A:"Exactly, but the thing is... Many of these religions, have people worshiping a powerful and almighty being... that doesn't
actually exist..."
>Twilight and Spike look confused
>you did look at religion form a scientific point of view, not primarily atheist, but realistically
>S:"So you're saying a lot of people are praising something that isn't real?"
A:"Ehh, technically? Anyway its a subject that I don't like to talk about."
>TS:"But why? Whats the point in praying and worshiping to a non-physical being!? It makes no sense!"
>S:"It just seems like a waste of time to me"
*sigh*
A:"This is the exact kind of reason why I hate talking about this. Its the irrational people, or in this case ponies, that
take the subject of religion too far."
>TS:"So what? We were just arguing over the point on how this is simply illogic-"
A:"Lemme stop you right there, Twi."
>TS & S:"?"
A:"Can I ask you, has there ever been any, war, over religion here in Equestria?"
>TS:"Umm, like fighting? Violence?"
A:"Yes."
>TS:"What!? Who the hay would fight over religion!?"
>S:"That's ridiculous, what kind of pony would fight over something like that?"
A:"Whoo boy let me tell ya..."
>after several hours of walking, you explain to Twilight and Spike the whole concept of the Crusades back in medieval times,
and the Holy Wars going on between the Christians and the Islams
>Twilight was having trouble comprehending how humans have been fighting over religion for the past few centuries
>Spike was still stuck on the whole Medieval Crusades part
>TS:"ANYWAY. *ahem* That was, quite, the interesting topic, Anon."
A:"Yes, quite indeed..."
>TS:"We can talk about this more later, but for now..."
>you gaze over from the hilltop
>TS & S:"Welcome to Ponyville!"
>it was dark, but Ponyville sure looked beautiful with the glowing lamps and streetlights
>you follow Twilight and Spike through the town
>its fairly late, mostly everyone has gone to sleep
>the few ponies who were still outside gave you strange looks, but no one cowered in fear
>that's good, right...?
>I guess they trusted the princess and that she knew what she was doing
A:"So, Twilight... what now?"
>TS:"Well for now we're going home, *yawn* I need some shut-eye."
>S:*yawn* "Yeah, me too."
>TS:"But tomorrow, I'm going to introduce you to everypony, so things won't be as... um, whats the word?"
A:"Awkward?"
>TS:"Yea, awkward..."
>she must have seen the staring ponies as well
>you finally reach the Golden Oaks Library
>you feel happy that its still there
>you know, after seeing the season 4 finale
>but you wouldn't dare tell Twilight, it might cause a rift in the space-time continuum
>she unlocks the door, and to your surprise, it was bigger on the inside
>inb4 Dr. Who reference
>again, you had to duck through the door
>fucking 6'2"
>TS:"So Anon, over here is the guest room. So I guess make yourself comfortable."
A:"Thanks Twilight."
>TS:"Its nothing reall-"
A:"No, I meant, for everything... for helping me get here, and not turning me away like some kind of monster."
>Twilight is staring at the floor, her head turned, her cheeks blushing bright pink
>you feel mums spaghetti trying to pry the lid off of it's Tupperware
>check yoself b4 u rek yoself
A:"*clears throat* I-I meant, just thank you... for being so trusting."
>TS:"I-its alright."
>shes fumbling
>TS:"I.. uh.. better get Spike to bed! Look how tired he is!"
>Spike is literally passed out on the floor, wimp
>Twilight picks up Spike, and carries him on her back
>TS:"Anywayyy...goodnight!"
>she literally sprinted up the staircase faster than a fucking Jamaican
A:"Umm, goodnight?"
>you turn towards the guest bedroom
>it was a little small, but the bed was big enough for you to sleep on
>or so you thought
>when you lied down, you could see your feet hanging over the edge
A:"Eh, whatever."
>you blow out the lamp on the nightstand

>...
>Brain:"Damn Anon, its dark in here isn't it."
>please shut up, I'm trying to sleep
>Brain:"Are those your feet hanging over the end?"
>yeah, so what?
>Brain:"You know what we haven't thought of in a while? Monsters."
>fuck

>you roll onto your right side
>you can barely make out the clock on the wall

>making you scared over shit that isn't real
>its probably a mouse or something...
>Brain:"Naw bruh, its The Rake! you remember? That creepy-pasta about the little imps with razor claws?"
>SHUT UP
>Brain:"OHOHOH, you'll love this? remember this guy?"
>2spooky4me
>well shit
>you've had enough
>you put your pillow over your head, covering your ear
>it helped to drown out the noise
>finally, silence
>after a few minutes you go to sleep

>...
>suddenly you wake up
>but its not in the bed
>your in a completely dark room
>it seems familiar though
>was this the dark zone Luna had mentioned back at the castle?
>?:"anooooon..."
A:"......"
>that voice you heard made you scared stiff
>?:"anoooooooon, ooovveeerr heeeeerrre."
>it had this fucking weird echo to it
>you suddenly feel something touch your shoulder
>its fucking slimy
>don't you fucking turn around man, you know whats there
>*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
>of course
>you shut your eyes, fuck man you didn't want to die, again...
>L:"Get away from him, heathen!"
>you can feel a powerful blast of magic knock the creature away from you
>you turn around to see Luna staring down mothafuckin Slenderman
>like a fucking western movie
>SM:*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
>Luna stands her ground
>she is charging up another magic beam
>Slendy stops screaming, and using his tentacles opens up a part of the Dark Zone, like a tear in time
>on the other side of the tear, was a forest, ironically
>he steps through the tear and it shuts behind him, not even glancing back
>L:"Are you alright?"
A:"Y-yes, but h-how did you do that?"
>L:"Strangely enough, I have encountered that creature before...
A:"WHAT!?"
>L:"Its nothing really, he thinks he can take control of the Dark Zone, but he is powerless compared to the power of good."
>a little cheesy, you admit, but continue
A:"Well thank you, for saving me."
>L:"My pleasure, and here, I can help you get some rest."
>she charges her horn again
>oh no, you knew what this was
*zap*
>K/O!

>...
>you start to wake up, this time in your bed
*knock knock knock*
>TS:"Anon? Are you up yet?"
>you felt fucking wasted
>you look at the clock, its 8 in the morning
A:"Uh... Yeah, Twilight what is it?"
>Twilight opens your bedroom door
>TS:"Come on, sleepy head! I made us breakfast!"
>she walks out of your room
>she seemed more energetic this morning
A:"Hmph, might as well."
>you walk out of your room towards the kitchen
>there's the smell of something delicious in the air
>as you walk into the dining room, you see Twilight bringing out a hot plate of-
A:"Pancakes!"
>S:"DID SOMEPONY SAY PANCAKES!?"
A:"SPIKE!? Geez where did you come from?"
>TS:*giggles* "Pancakes are Spike's favorite."
>S:"Only when you make them, Twilight!"
>TS:"Oh stop it, you!"
>*audience laughs*
A:"So Twilight, do you have any bacon or anythi-"
>you swatted your hand right over your whore mouth
>you regretted saying that
>TS:"D-did you just say, bacon?"
A:"Umm..."
>TS:"I mean its no problem, I didn't know you were a carnivore."
A:"Actually, *Omnivore. I eat plants and meat..."
>TS:"...I see."
>S:"The thing is Anon, since most of Equestria is primarily herbivores, the thought of creatures eating meat isn't quite
the dapper thought, if ya catch my drift."
>you nod awkwardly
>TS:"If that's what you prefer to eat, you need to get some yourself."
A:"Like...buy it?"
>TS:"Yes...or, you can hunt for it."
A:"Like...killing for it?"
>Twilight nods once, very sternly. Hinting she may want to change the subject
>TS:"Anyway, after breakfast, we're taking you out to meet our friends."
A:"You mean the rest of the group."
>Twilight just took a bite of her pancakes
>TS:"Mhmm."
A:"Fine by me, I can't wait to meet them!"
>TS:"Great. Now eat up your meal before Spike does. *giggle*"
>you catch Spike eying your stack of pancakes
>you glare at him
>he looks away and starts whistling
 
===
 
>soon everyone finished their breakfast
>you follow Twilight, while spike was riding on her back, out of the library and into town
>you still can see lots of townsfolk giving you the what-the-fuck-is-that-thing gaze
>you watch as Twilight is looking around towards the sky for something...
>or somepony-
*SMACK*
>you felt the force of a football jock tackle you to the ground
>?:"Twilight! What is this thing!? Why was is following you!?"
>you recognized that snarky voice
>you look up to see a blue pony with a multicolored mane
A:"Hello, Rainbow Cun- I mean, Dash."
>RD:"HOW DOES IT KNOW MY NAME!?"
>TS:"Calm down Rainbow, this is the human I was talking about, Anon remember?"
>RD:"...Oh. Sorry for flippin' out on you like that."
A:*grunting as you get up* "No problem Dash."
>RD:"I just expected a 'hooman' to be, I dunno, less tall..."
A:"*Human, its Human."
>RD:"Whatever."
>RD:"Anyway, whats up Twi?"
>TS:"We were just walking through town letting Anon meet the girls."
>RD:"Oh cool, mind if I tag along? Its kinda boring out here."
>TS:"The more the merrier!"
>RD:"Awesome! Let's go!"
>Rainbow takes off way faster than the rest of you
A:"Well that was a good start for the day."
>S:"Pah, that was nothin'. You should've seen Dash the first time WE came to Ponyville."
>oh believe me Spike, I know
 
===
 
>as you walk through the center of town, a lot more ponies have stopped their daily routines just to look at you
>its making you feel uncomfortable
>you watch as a pony starts to walk towards Twilight
>Pony 1:"Um pardon me for asking, princess Twilight, but what is that THING?"
>thing
>she called me a thing
>ouch
>TS:"This , thing, is Mr. Anon Y. Mous, he is a Human, hes not from around here..."
>Pony 1:"Oh, Well, Im sorry for my intrusion princess."
>the pony turns towards you
>Pony 1:"Hello... Anon, My name is Jewel Charm."
A:"Nice to meet you."
>you can hear various voices in the crowd
>Pony 2:"Hes very polite."
>Pony 3:"Hes actually pretty handsome, if you asked me."
>Foal 1:"Wow daddy! That human is SOOOO tall!"
>you're starting to blush
>you rub the back of your neck
>TS:"Okay everypony, not to be a party pooper, but we really need to get going!"
>Crowd:"Awww"
A:"It was nice to meet all of you!"
>Pony 4:"Same to you, Anon!"
>Pony 5:"See ya later!"
>you wave back to the crowd
>TS:"You've become quite the celebrity haven't you, Anon?"
A:"Eheheheh... yeah."
>you're now approaching a very... frilly..., would be the best word to describe it, establishment
>TS:"And this is-"
A:"Carousel Boutique, isn't it?"
>TS:"...Yes, I keep forgetting how you already know these things..."
A:"Oh sorry, I'll try not to interrupt next time."
RD:"GEEZ, WHERE HAVE YOU EGGHEADS BEEN!?"
>Rainbow yells from across the courtyard
A:"KEEP YOUR FEATHERS ON, DASH! WE'RE COMING ALRIGHT!?"
>Spike completely loses it
>S:*laughing uncontrollably*"K-keep...your feathers on!!!*laughing*"
>Twilight just looks down at the ground and shakes her head, trying to hide her smile
>you finally reach Carousel Boutique, where a pissed Rainbow is waiting
>RD:"Its about time! You guys are slower than Tank!"
>oh yeah, Dash has a pet tortoise
>RD:"Now hurry up and lets get this over with!"
A:"Patience is a virtue, Dash."
>Rainbow just stares at you
>Twilight knocks on the door
*knock knock knock*
>Soon a white pony with a -very- curled mane opens the door
>its Rarity
>R:"Oh good morning Twilight, Spike, and Rainbow! ...Who, or what, is that?"
>TS:"Rarity, this is my friend, Anon. He is a human, the one I told you about?"
>R:"Oh my stars! Pardon my short memory, dear Anon. I am Rarity."
>she holds out her hoof
>you shake it in return, but very gently
A:"Nice to meet you, Ms. Rarity."
>Rarity whispers to Twilight
>R:"Oh my, he is very polite!"
>Twilight just smiles
>R:"Please, come in!"
>Everyone starts to follow Rarity, except Dash
>RD:"Are you guys gonna be long?"
>S:"Probably knowing Twilight and Rarity, yeah, why?"
>RD:"Then forget this, I'll meet up with you guys later, k?"
>Rainbow Dash takes off back towards Ponyville
>you couldn't give a lesser fuck, you hated impatient people, and ponies
>again, you had to duck your head under the door
>also, again, the building was much bigger on the inside
>The interior, however, seemed much different than on the show
>it wasn't as frilly as Hasbro made it
>it was rather, neoclassical or Victorian era
>R:"Would anyone like some tea?"
A:"What kind of tea?"
>R:"Only the best kind! Imported from Saddle Arabia!"
>TS & S:"Oooh!"
A:"Um, is that like the hot tea? Or the cold tea?
>everyone just stares at you in confusion
>R:"What do you mean by 'cold tea', dear?"
A:"Oh, well where I lived, back in my world, the area was SO hot during the summer, that we drink our tea ice cold."
>being a Texan fag
>R:"My my, how interesting! I've never tried that before."
A:"I never cared for it though, it was too sweet for me."
>R:"Perhaps I shall try a glass myself, but for now-"
>you can start to hear a tea kettle whistling
>R:"Oh, tea's ready! Pardon me."
>Rarity goes towards the kitchen
>She comes back, levitating a tray with the tea kettle and several cups
>R:"Please, take a seat."
>being the gentleman you were, you pull out the chair for Twilight
>TS:"Oh, uh, thank you, Anon."
>Spike also catches the idea, and pulls out the chair for Rarity
>R:"Oh thank you, dear Spikey-Wikey!"
>oh god, not this crap
>you can see Spike bow towards Rarity
>don't you fucking do it Spike
>S:"Not a problem at all, Milady!"
>if he had a fucking fedora, he would be tipping it
 
===
 
>R:"Sugar, cream?"
A:"No thanks."
>Rarity levitates a cup of tea towards you
>she sets it down on a small plate
>you notice everyone is watching you
>TS:"Well? Try it!"
>S:"Yeah Anon! This tea is the best in Equestria!"
>you look down at the tea
>you pick up the cup
>everyone watches in anticipation
*sip*
>you can taste a variety of spices and herbs in the tea
A:"Wow, this is..."
>Everyone:"Yes...?"
A:"Delicious!"
>R:"Marvelous! I'm so glad you like it!"
>you smile, as you have another sip
>R:"Tell me, Anon. You did say that your world has a 'cold' type of tea. They do have hot tea as well, correct?"
A:*gulp* "Yes, they do. But mostly up north far from my home."
>TS:"Is tea a very popular beverage where your from?"
A:"Actually, not as much as it used to be. There's an interesting story behind it."
>R:"Oh do tell us Anon!"
>timeforfreedom.png
A:"So here it goes, My country, which is called the United States of America, used to be under control of another country."
>R:"How so?"
A:"The other country, known as Great Britain, was ruled by a King, King George the third."
>you can see Twilight pulling out a quill and notepad, starting to take down notes
>lel
A:"Great Britain at the time, was an Empire."
>S:"You mean like the Crystal Empire?"
A:"In a way, yes. But this is the kind of Empire that expanded, the kind that took others land for its own."
>TS:"So a tyranny?"
A:"Exactly."
>R:"So, how does this relate to tea?"
A:"I'm getting there."
A:"So originally, The United States of America used to be just a continent, discovered by the British Empire, in hopes of
finding new resources."
>TS:"Fascinating..."
*scribble scribble*
A:"After many months at sea, when the British had enough people on this new continent, they made settlements all along the
northern coastline."
>you can see everyone is having trouble visualizing this
A:"Umm, Twilight, can I borrow your quill and notepad?"
>TS:"Oh, sure."
>she hands you the items
>you draw a rather poor map of the USA
>2 years of art class, and you still can't draw your home country by memory
>it wasn't the best, but you remember doing worse
>at least you knew all of the states by heart
A:"So these thirteen states here..."
>you started to point to the states
A:"New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland
Virginia, North & South Carolina and Georgia."
A:"Were all the original colonies founded by our forefathers."
>TS:"How do you remember all of this?"
A:"Well not to brag, but history was my favorite subject back in school."
>S:"Geez, even I can't remember all of the States in Equestria..."
A:"Okay, now I'm getting to the part about the tea."
A:"So after a few years on these new continents, the settlers were having trouble growing some of their crops, which included
tea leaves."
>R:"Alright, I'm listening..."
A:"One of the teas, which was the most popular, was only grown back in Britain. So they had to import the ground up tea
leaves to America."
A:"But the thing was, the King had established a "Royal Tax" on the imported tea."
>TS:"Well, whats so bad about that?"
A:"How would you feel if you had to buy tea from another nation, and had to pay extra just for buying it?"
>R:"I still don't see how that's a bad thing."
A:"Hmm, uh Twilight, do you have any... um.. *snap* bits, is it? For me to demonstrate with?"
>TS:"Uh, I think so yea, let me see..."
>she pulls out 10 bits from her knapsack
A:"Alright, Rarity."
>you slide all of the bits over to her."
A:"Pretend I'm the king, and you're the customer wanting to buy my tea."
>R:"Alright?"
>you set out a cup of tea in the middle of the table
>R:"Hello, you're highness(?), I would like to buy some tea, please."
A:"That shall be 1 bit."
>Rarity levitates a bit to your side of the table
>R:"Thank you your majesty."
A:"Ahahah, remember the tax?"
>you then take 4 bits
>R:"What!? That's outrageous! You took half of my bits!"
A:"Exactly, that's how bad it was!"
>R:"Oh dear..."
A:"Rarity! Imagine if Celestia imposed a tax on every gem you found!?"
*dramatic organ music*
A:"Twilight! Imagine if Celesta imposed a tax on every note keeping supply!?"
*dramatic organ music one pitch higher*
A:"And Spike! Imagine if Celestia imposed a tax on every box of pancake mix!?"
>S:"E-every box?"
A:"Every. Single. Box."
>S: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHv9acm3fF0
>everyone, even you, were a wee bit shocked by his reaction
>S:"Eheheh, sorry."
A:"So basically, the colonists were quote "Taxed without representation." Which meant no matter how much they protested to
the king, he would not lift the tax."
>TS:"Gosh, that sounds horrible."
A:"It was, Twilight. But it was not until the year 1775, is when the colonists were so fed up with the king, they started
to revolt."
TS:"How so?"
A:"We called it, "The Boston Tea Party."
