A/N: Well, Here's the next chapter of my story. I would like to thank Le Critical Writer for his review on my story before I redid it. I am now thinking I should add other people's OC's, but I'll tell you when the openings come up. Well, enjoy this chapter and review please.. Now, onto the story. Hadez away!
Decent Into Darkness
I woke up to birds hosting a chirpy, obnoxious opera outside my window window. 'Wait, where am I?' was an instinctive question for me, seeing as I woke up somewhere other than my couch. (Yes, try to understand this logic. I have a nice, comfy bed in my room, sleep on couch.)
Anyway, memories of what happened came rushing back to me, I was in Equestria, I was the protector of the Elements of Harmony, and I am now going to be living here. What could go wrong? I mentally slapped myself for the last statement, something always went wrong when someone said that.
I finally gave in to Celestia's sun and got up, got dressed in the same, totally clean clothes I had on yesterday, and headed out for a new day.
Back on Earth
Ramon woke up, like usual, around 11 o'clock on a Saturday morning. He just lay there, looking at his ceiling, thinking what could have happened to his friend he had since preschool, as well as what might be for breakfast, or how he didn't do the 3 page essay due in less than an hour... What was he thinking? Right, Alex.
"Well, no use getting all worked up over it, he's bound to show up sometime." With that, Ramon got out of his bed, albeit very slowly, cracked his knees, arms, neck, and nearly everything else in his body. He headed to the kitchen for breakfast. 'Or should it be lunch?' he mused to himself.
Equestria
I had just reached the door of the guest room in the library, when I thought of something, it was spring here. Does that mean... I took one deep breath and sighed, "Well, shit. I knew this was going to be interesting. Well then, guess I'll have to be careful. Not yet time for me to have a mate... Wait, would it even be right? I mean they are another species. Then again, they are so much like humans... Meh, I'll think about that later. Time for food."
I made my way downstairs to find Twilight asleep on a pile of books. 'Damn, why do these ponies have to be so cute, my heart is gonna explode soon.'
I picked her up and brought her back up to her room and laid her down on the bed, and made my way back down to find out if there was food.
As my luck would have it, there was no food made, seeing as Spike wasn't up yet, so I decided to make some eggs, and pancakes.
After the pancakes were done and the eggs were cooked to perfection, and failed to make homemade tortillas, Twilight came down the stairs.
"Oh, good morning Alex. What smells so good?" she said as she sat down on the other side of the table.
"Well, I made pancakes and eggs. I tried to make something from my home world but... yeah." I smiled, embarrassed. "Oh, crap, I just remembered that those were wasted ingredients, I'm really sorry."
She looked at me with a kind smile, 'So. Fucking. Cute!' "Don't worry, maybe you could try another time?"
"Yeah, anyway, I'm gonna go see if anyone needs help. Since you have Spike here, wait where is the little guy," I saw him walk down the stairs. "Never mind. Since you have Spike for help I'll go see if anyone else need any help."
"Okay be-" she was cut off by Spike belching up a letter. "Oh from the Princess. It says she will gladly teleport your house to the outskirts of the Everfree Forest near Fluttershy's because anything that is dangerous will most likely come from there."
I thought about it and nodded, "Seems legit. So I'll go to Fluttershy first to tell her the news and see if she needs any help."
I began walking away, then stopped and asked with a sheepish smile, "Um, could you point me there?"
Twilight rolled her eyes and pointed in the direction of Fluttershy's cottage.
I decided to take a route around the town so I wouldn't be held up with questions and such, so I made good time to her house.
I walked up to the door and knocked three times. "Oh, c-coming," came the whispered reply.
She opened the door, and before I could even blink the door was slammed in my face, as it had been many a time before. "Oh, um, well, that was a pleasant hello Fluttershy, nice to see you too,"
"Oh, I'm sorry Alex, I'm s-still getting u-used to a," she paused. "C-creature like you being a-around." She slowly opened the door and this time let me in.
"It's okay. Wow what a beautiful place you have here. I understand why you live here." In all sincerity, I was impressed, it was very roomy and old school design, a bit rustic, one might say. "Well, first off, I wanted to let you know that I will now be your neighbor thanks to Princess Celestia. Two, I wanted to know if you needed help. So, anything you wish of me, mistress?" I went down on one knee cupped me hands together and bowed my head.
I got the desired effect and she blushed enough that I might have thought that an Apple strayed a bit too far from Applejacks farm. She started stammering incomprehensible sounds. I fell on my back laughing. "That was too easy!" I said between laughs. Apparently it was contagious, as soon Fluttershy began to giggle as well. Her next sentence caught me off guard though.
"You know, you looked really cute when you were serious," she said with probably the cutest face I've ever seen. I'm pretty sure my heart stopped for a minute.
My face lit up like a Christmas tree. 'Wait, why did she say that? Does she mean it? Was she joking with me? Did she have a surprised face on her a minute ago? Why is she looking at me like that? Do I have something on my face? Is Pinkie Pie behind me somehow?' I was brought out of my mental rant by Fluttershy beginning to giggle. "What?"
Just the way you looked just now. Your face kept changing like this." She made many different thoughtful faces, like she was thinking. Each one was unique, and I began to laugh.
"I guess I did look pretty funny. Well, let's not waste any more time, and get to work."
She gave a brief nod, "Okay."
After all that was finished I looked out the window, since we finished while in her living room. I saw it was getting real dark out and decided to go home, if my house was there. Thankfully, right there on the edge of the forest was my house, it was like a guard house on the entrance a building, but this was a forest. "Hey, Fluttershy. How would you like to see my house?"
She took one look out of the window, 'eeped,' and shrunk back. "N-no thank y-you, n-not meaning to be r-rude, but it's on the v-very e-edge of the f-f-forest."
"Right," I said, slightly embarrassed for inviting her there. "Just don't be a stranger though, if anything attacks you while you're visiting me, I'll protect you."
She looked visibly comforted by my words.
I noticed Fluttershy was staring at me with an undecipherable expression. I waved my hand in front of her face and looked her in her eyes, "Um, Fluttershy? You okay?" At my words she seemed to come back to reality, "Um, you alright? You just spaced out just now... and you were kinda looking at me weird." Her eyes widened at this then she hid behind her mane.
"Oh, um, th-thanks f-for caring, A-Alex, but I-I'm fine." I gave her my best 'not believing you because you LIE' look, but then gave up after she looked down and wouldn't speak at all.
I left, bidding Fluttershy good night, and walked home.
When I got there, I found everything the way it had been when I left. My swords in my room, and my bed sheets on the couch. I set up my 'bed' and went to sleep.
Earth
Ramon was having another sleepless night, more or less, him and his best friend, Mr. Computer but also, he just couldn't shake off a deep, lurking feeling something bad was about to happen, and, know his luck, it involved him.
He shook it off and went back to playing Minecraft, waiting for morning to come.
Equestria
I woke up to the sun blinding me, "Five more minutes Celestia." All of a sudden, it felt like my whole body was burning up in an incinerator. "OW! Okay, okay, I'm up, I'm up. Geez, I didn't think Trollestia was real."
I took a shower, put on some clean clothes, grabbed my swords, and walked outside. I saw Fluttershy nervously trotting into town, so I decided this would be a good time to ask a favor. "Hey! Fluttershy! Wait up!"
When I spoke, I immediately regretted doing that, for she jumped straight into the air and fell on her back, literally, scared stiff. She came too as I walked up. "Oh, I'm sorry Fluttershy, didn't mean to scare you," I said, rubbing the back of my head. "Also, I wanted to know if you could give me a tour of the town."
She stopped dead in her tracks, "You want me to show you around?"
"Oh, am I interrupting something? I could always go get Twi-"
"NO!" she yelled, well, for her it was yelling. It was hardly anything above a whisper, but I can dream. "I mean, no, I would be happy to." 'Something seems off about her, she seems a bit more outgoing right now, and I kind of like it.'
"Okay, as long as I'm not interrupting anything," and I walked onward.
On our way there, Fluttershy was not paying attention and stayed off the path. I tried to get her attention but she seemed so lost in thought that she ran right into the tree on the side of the path. 'Okay, this is new. Has she always been able to get lost in thought like this?' I shrugged it off and walked over to her.
"Hey, Fluttershy." I knelt down beside her and put a hand on her head stroking her mane. When I did, she flinched, then relaxed. "Are you okay?"
This seemed to pull her out of dreamland, I guess since nopony here has fingers, the petting I did just now must have been quite pleasant, but I digress. She was pulled out of dreamland and began to get a little nervous. "Oh, um, i-it's nothing," she spluttered.
I wanted to push the topic a little more, but decided I would probably just make her very uncomfortable with me, knowing my skills with talking to women.
"Okay. Just remember that I'm here for you if you need someone to talk to. I'm always here." I gave her a smile that visibly made her relax and then asked a question that I didn't expect.
"What did you do back on Earth when you couldn't use your swords?"
I looked up at the sky and sighed. "Something I wish you had here."
She stared at me, "What do you have that we don't?"
"Well, for one, I'm just not sure if you guys have it here, and two, it's my hobby that I wanted a career in."
"What is it?" she asked again.
"Music. Not the DJ music that I've heard here before, or whatever the audible ipecac it is that Pinkie spews out from her gaping Pinkie Pie hole. I mean jazz, the symphony, and orchestra, that stuff. You know about anything like that?"
She looked at me as though I asked one of the simplest and, for some reason, exiting topic for her. "Oh yes. Here we have orchestras, symphonies, jazz ensembles, jazz big bands, the culture in them is amazing."
I was stunned, "Wait, why do know all of this?"
She blushed. "Well, you see, jazz and classical is the music I like the most. I'm not really into the dubtrot music." I almost lost a fight to contain laughter when she said dubtrot. "Why? Do you want to find one to play with?"
"Maybe, but I don't know if they would take to kindly to me, you know?" She nodded and then looked at the sky.
"Would you like a tour of Ponyville?" I shrugged, nodded, and we set off to the town, just the two of us.
Back on Earth
Ramon was at school when something began to happen outside the door of his class.
An orb of light burst through the door like a baseball through a window. Immediately, the room went silent and everyone (Besides Ramon, whose face was in it's same monotone position, although on the inside he thought "Not even going to attempt to think of how logically impossible this is,")stared in awe at the unbelievable shiny in the middle of the room. The light smothly and sleekly slithered towards Ramon. It stopped a few feet short, and began to glow a bit brighter. The ball was beginning to change shape, taking the form of a young man, about 22 years old.
He had dark brown hair and was wearing a light brown suit with a tie. On his tie it depicted an hourglass many times over, and Ramon couldn't help but feel that it was vaguely familiar. He began to talk in a British accent. "Come, my boy, we must talk privately, there is something you should know."
Ramon, thought of something to say, eyes the size of lightbulbs the whole time, and asked "Does it involve Alex,"
The man nodded solemnly. Ramon simply nodded back and said "I'm sold,'
The two began walking to the door, when the teacher stopped them, "You don't have permission to take him unless you are a parent or guardian."
The man pulled out a strange device that looked oddly like a police box from the 1900's, and said, with a cocky grin "Oh, I don't believe that you can stop me." He pressed a button and he and Ramon began to glow and shimmer and morph back into a ball of light, which passed through the door and disappeared.
Equestria
"Surprise!"
"GYAH!" I fell onto my back and Pinkie hopped happily. I had just finished my tour with Fluttershy and opened my door to find many ponies standing there, waiting for me. "Oh, I shoulda expected that."
With that, the party kicked off. Well, for the other ponies it did. I mostly stood around and put my head back to rest, and sleep eventually came.
I woke to find it had been but a few minutes I had been asleep, but it was eerily quiet. I got up off the couch and looked around. That was when I saw him. A slim figure in the corner, staring back at me. He was tan, short, and thin as a pole. His hair was short, and dark, like his humor.
"Ramon?"
A/N: DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN. I wonder who that weird young man was and how Ramon got here. Why is he here? What is the purpose of me falling asleep? I don't know. Okay so I know this may have seemed forced, but I'm still kinda new to this writing crap, so give me credit, and the editing will be done by my friend in real life. So, It will probably be a while before I upload again because I've had a major writer's block on this story.
