"Ok roll an Intelligence and science with a minus two for the subject being unpublished and unfamiliar mechanics to what you are used to." I said to my friend John. It was a normal gaming session for us as usual I was the guy running it and I had gotten lucky. My friends had the weekend free and my parents had just gotten me new equipment to use. By now we were into a third 2 liter of a soda I stopped paying attention as I had my tea.

My buddy John angrily yelled "God fucking damn it all to hell." He said a little angry after the recent events our characters had gone through. "Why did I have to choose to go through the door first?"

Pedro laughed as he and his girlfriend took this time to start to make out again. My younger brother had started working on his own writings again while John's brother Ed had started to help him. This was ok at least for the moment because of the current situation. You Johns character had walked into a room with computers in it for the mission and when he entered the doors closed behind him this naturally meant that the only one to focus on at the moment was John.

Tonight was actually kind of special it was the day the world was supposed to end not by the ancient Mayan predictions the U.S. was threatened or something by terrorists to be honest I could not help but laugh. I doubted it was real so I purposely set this up if it was right I wanted to go out gaming. We started around 9:00 a.m. it was about 11:00 p.m. right now but I planned to get everyone home when we were done.

"Dude you got to think things through before running into rooms in a military facility" I told John as I rolled the challenge roll.

God sometimes has a cruel sense of humor kind of like when he had to tell his son that he was born abnormally to die for people that hate his guts. I say this because at that moment the strangest whistle was heard and then as we all looked out the window a heat worse than being set on fire with napalm was felt and then nothing. I opened my eyes to see nothing. It was either a black so dark it was white or vice versa because there was no color.

"Well either I am in purgatory or hell either way eternity is going to be a bit boring."

"I would not say that my friend." A mysterious fatherly yet comforting voice boomed.

"Let me guess god right. I would say it is an honor but I lost that right when I stopped believing. So tell me oh omnipotent one why are we talking if I was not a believer?" I asked inquisitively to void.

"Well the extremists that let off the bomb that killed you hit a button that was not supposed to be pressed. Damn idiots I lay a specific blueprint for the universe I look away for three seconds and they mess it up." The voice said obviously ticked off.

"So what are you saying I was not supposed to die when I did?" I asked back.

"Yeah you were supposed to die in a few years after leading a group in a final fight to take control of the terrorist cell and return the world to how it was before Obama was elected into office." The voice responded. I honestly could not believe it myself I was actually supposed to do something sort of worthwhile and praise. "So to make it up to you and the small group you were with I am going to each of you individually after this and telling them the plan. You however get to make a choice for them you can go to heaven hell or a world of your choosing because you honestly do not want to go back to your body the way it is now."

The information that was put before me the responsibility everything was just too much. I was in charge of lives now and was supposed to live and lead a resistance of sorts. Not only that I was talking to god a being I did not even believe in until a few moments ago. I reacted and thought of what I knew I wanted to do and before I could say it I took a deep breath and closed my eyes when I went to open them I was in a colorful world brighter and obviously happier than the one I had been in. I guess god got impatient and decided to read my mind. I knew where I was and everything but I could not believe it I barely had to look at myself before I saw I had changed. Quickly I ran to the nearest reflective surface.

"Oh my word… I can't believe he actually bought that crap I usually say stuff like that but he is the first one to believe me." God said after I had left.

"I can't believe this I actually am in Equestria." I said to myself as I stared into a puddle of clear water looking at my new pony of a self. My mane was black and yellow-green all scruffy yet still seeming straight. My deep red coat fitting me and the horn protruding from my scalp. I was a unicorn and from the feel as I focused on my horn a powerful one at that. I looked down to see that I had a form fitting black vest with plenty of pockets on and bands high on my forelegs. There was a difference in the feel on my front and back hooves and as I glanced back it was obvious why. My back hooves had shoes surrounded in belts on them. I looked exactly like the pony character I had designed one day out of boredom.

I was in a culture shock I was no longer in the world I once knew and was now in a strange world that I knew was either more friendly or more dangerous. I sat there taking it all in and then it hit me where were my friends, where was my brother. If I was transported here so were they but where I had to find at least my brother. As the reality of everything sunk in and I became more worried my luck started to hit as well as clouds started to form in the sky. I figured it must have been scheduled because the pegasi were in charge of weather. I could see the obvious look of a familiar town seems even a god that you don't believe in has a sense of humor he placed me on the outskirts of Ponyville. Only reason I could tell was I saw Sweet Apple Acres in the distance.

So I quickly had to head to town and thankfully I was given a saddlebag with a few things to start with by our "Benevolent" god. About 100 bits and a few food stuffs just what I would need to start a life I supposed. I hurried to the closest place SAA I figured since it was the same world that I could convince the Apple family to let me stay there at least for the night. About 15 minutes later I arrived at the farm I hurried to the house and knocked with my hooves on the door. I was surprised out how well my body had adjusted to being a pony and how certain things came as they would if I was still human. A moment passed before I started to give up on anyone answering the door as I turned to leave.

"Why hello there hun" A sweet country voice said as I turned away "mighty bad timing to be going door to door ain't it?" the girl asked obvious as it was to me that it was Applejack I had to act it like I never saw here before.

"Uh hi I am sorry to do this but I was on my way to see if I could find a house in Ponyville but as soon as I got near it started to rain." I let the lie flow like water in a river. "If it wouldn't be a problem could I stay here a night I promise not to invade any privacy and as soon as it clears up I will either be out of your hair or help you with any work you may need done." The thought of doing any physical labor was not appealing to me but if I did not offer I would have been rude.

As I expected she would I was invited in and offered to sleep on the couch by the country beauty that was Applejack. "Of course you can stay for the night sugar. What kinda people would we be if'n we turned away a pony in need." She smiled the way only a country gal could the freckles on her face making her look younger then she was and the braided blonde hair. "So besides findin' a place to stay what brings y'all here to Ponyville?"

"Well you see I have always been a fan of seeing new places and figured that I should settle down before I waste my life away searching the world and not finding a family." I spoke the truth sort of Moving was always a fun experience for me and I really enjoyed it but I couldn't tell the truth here. "I figured that Ponyville would be a nice quiet place to settle down and start a family so I made my last impulse move and came here to start anew." I felt bad lying but maybe I could tell the truth one day.

Applejack stared at me almost sympathetically or maybe it was a look that said I was crazy. I knew that I looked and was young I mean I was only 17 going to be 18 in only a few months, and here I was talking about settling down and family. Almost as if on cue faint hoofsteps could be heard. I figured it was Applebloom coming to see her sister. The shock as a new face sitting in the living room with her sister came and went as she rushed down to meet me.

"Hi I am Applebloom what's yours." The young filly asked with almost lightning speed. Applejack realized she hadn't told me her name and did so.

I smiled and answered the young filly "I am …" It hit me that my real name should be kept to myself seeing as how I could start a new life here. I hated my real name and decided to go with the one I used to name my custom Pony. "… Zantorn" I said with confidence and joy in my voice.

The little filly laughed a little before her sister hurried her to her room as it was getting quite late. They both bid me good night and as I went and laid on the couch I thought to myself that maybe this was for the best at least here I could start fresh. I slowly drifted off to sleep and was not greeted with peaceful dreams but nightmares about my brother and friends. I would have to find them but first I had to find a place to stay. I knew that I could push off the main searching for a few days as I figured they got the same or at least similar saddlebags when they showed up they could take care of themselves or at least I hoped for a few days.

The next morning I awoke to the startling sight of two giant eyes staring at me while I slept. They were Applebloom's as I saw the bow fall over her face a little. "Uh good morning" I said as I realized that I had probably slept until noon or later since I did not have my phone blaring to wake me up.

The goofy grin and oddly happy stare responded almost immediately. "Howdy I would say mornin' to you to but it is already noon." I guessed right at least.

I slowly got up and stretched like I usually did in the morning. I looked and listened around for any other movement in the house trying to be polite and look for Applejack but instead I stayed with Applebloom. "Hey do you know where your sister is I was hoping to thank her for letting me stay here and maybe help out at least to make up for intruding on you and your family." The young filly pointed me upstairs saying that her sister was taking the day off to escort me around town and help me today. I smiled and thanked her and headed up the stairs and knocked on the door I was told was her room.

"Come in" Was the reply I got from AJ as I entered she sounded surprised as she was trying to fix her hair. "Oh it's you I wasn't expecting you to be up yet anyways come on in don't be shy" I did as she said.

"Look thank you for your hospitality and everything I hope I can make it up to you soon." I said a little embarrassed to be in a situation like this.

"Awww think nothin' of it sugar we are always glad to help now let me finish and I will show you around town and help you get a place to stay." She stated obviously not going to take no for any kind of answer so I nodded and said I would wait downstairs. As I headed downstairs to wait my mind drifted to my brother again hoping he was alright especially since he now could no longer talk to his recently acquired girlfriend. I felt horrible and knew that no matter what the future was going to be tough on everyone.
