A/N (11/16/14): Read the most recent update. (A Message from the Prince of None)
A/N: Hiya, I'm Prince of None and this is my first MLP fic, and my first fic in general. I'm keeping the chapters short because I like to take baby steps when I write (plus it builds suspense, mwahaha), and all reviews are super appreciated. Rated M for language and a few lemons in the future. Unfortunately, it needs saying: I don't own any of the MLP names or anything. Now, let's jump right into it.
Chapter 1: Eureka
Um…hi. I'm Zack, I'm 14 and have been a brony for a year or two and I absolutely love it, the show, the fandom, everything. I have blue or green eyes depending on Celestia-knows-what, my hair is a dark brown, it's kinda long and super-thick so I get a lot of comments about how it looks kinda like a Jew-fro and I usually just go with that, although I prefer to think of it as a Frodo-type thing. Anyway, let's get into the story which, incidentally, starts with me.
I'm in downtown Philadelphia (but I prefer to call it Fillydelphia), on my way back home from seeing Equestria Girls (10/10) when I pass the high school and notice the statue in the courtyard. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not the type of guy that goes around trespassing, but I figured, hell, I may as well check it out. I jumped the fence and I ran over to the statue, it's a stone Benjamin Franklin with a quill in one hand and the whole thing was on a podium with smooth, super-polished sides. I checked my hair in my reflection and glanced up at the full moon. Let's hope this is my lucky day, I thought before reaching out to touch the podium. My hand hovered in air millimeters away from the surface and I asked myself, I am completely, batshit crazy, aren't I? Yes I am. I answered myself. Alright, let's dizzily-donezilly-do this. And I plunged my hand into the stone; or what looked like stone, it felt like cold water. So, to recap, my hand is inside a statue and my brain is exploding. Don't freak out, and don't have a nerdgasm. I thought as I prepared to take the biggest leap of faith I've ever taken. YOLOOO! I yelled in my mind as I ran through the portal.
I came out in a darkened room with a bluish paintjob and some paintings on the walls. Ok Zack, don't freak out, don't freak out, I tried to get up off of my hands and knees when I looked down and discovered I had no hands or knees. When I looked, all I saw was hooves. …yep, I'm definitely freaking out. I doubted anyone would be in there unless Twi came in to see if she can visit Flash Sentry, I thought. Heh heh, Flash Sentry…Anyway, I need to get out of here and get to Ponyville pronto. According to the fanmade maps I've seen of the castle (and pretty much all of Equestria), I need to go out this door in front of me and take a left, but this seemingly simple task is complicated by two things: 1) I have no idea how to walk with hooves and 2) I'll probably be arrested and tried for trespassing. I attempted to pace around and fell on my face a few times. I finally established a rhythm of front-left, front-right, back-left, back-right. Now I just need a guard's outfit or something so nopony is suspicious. I walked up to the door and encountered another problem, I have no idea how to use my hooves. Dammit! I did not think this through, did I? I paced for another few seconds before stopping in front of my reflection in the portal/mirror. I made an earth-shattering discovery, I am my OC, Brony Blast, same light green coat, same long, brown mane, same…horn. FUCK YEAH, MUTHAFUCKA ! I gots a horn! Time to try some magic… I tried to open the door with a telekinesis spell and… hell yeah! I'm good at magic! Just like my OC!
I walked out of the portal room and into a dark hallway. The huge windows showed the night sky and overlooked… CANTERLOT. Ho-lee shit. I am f'real in Equestria. This. Is. Awesome.
