Chapter 10 – The Truth – Part 1

The school was very quiet. No ponies were giggling or chatting. It was almost like a ghost school. Roger was sitting on the wooden stool, bored out of his mind. "Okay," Cheerilee spoke. "what is 6 times 3?" She happily asked the classroom full of fillies and colts.

"18," Roger answered with no emotion in his voice.

"Um, right," Cheerilee said nervously. "Then, what is 8 times 3 then half it?"

"12," Roger sighed. Roger had already done this when he was a young child. He had started to regret joining the lesson.

"Roger! Let the others answer as well!" Applebloom growled at the mindless human. "It's not fair on them."

"Well you should've thought about that before making me take part in your lesson." Roger moaned

"Oh, so it's my fault then?" Applebloom hissed.

"Why, yes. It's your fault and I'm blaming you completely."

Cheerilee only just noticed the argument from the two beings, and had to put a stop to it. "Enough! You too are acting like toddlers. Stop this now, or I'll put you both in detention."

Roger hadn't been in detention at school for ages. The teachers were too scared that he would beat them up if they made him angry. "Sorry, Miss," Applebloom said sadly. Roger only groaned. He hated saying sorry to other people. Throughout his life, his parents kept nagging at him to learn the word 'sorry' and to say it to people.

"Well?" Cheerilee asked Roger. "Are you going to apologise?" Roger looked at her blankly. He was thinking about what would happen back on his world if they find out about his disappearance. "Roger?"

"W-what?" Roger suddenly focused away from his mind and back to Equestria. Cheerilee was scowling at him. "What's happening? Has the lesson ended?"

"I'm afraid the lesson had ended because you know everything about mathematics." Cheerilee said with disappointment. "So we're going to do a bit of history!" She beamed.

"Oh shit!" Roger thought. "I don't know anything about Equestria. How am I going to do this?" Roger was now sweating bullets. Cheerilee and the children would find out about where he really came from and the whole of Equestria would be staring at him.

"Can somepony tell me when did Jake the Ripper slaughter his first victim?" Cheerilee said.

"Jake the Ripper?" Roger asked confusingly. "Don't you mean 'Jack the Ripper'?"

"Jake did have a brother called Jack. But he was an angel. Wouldn't hurt a fly."

Roger scratched his head. What other events happened in Equestria that were similar to events that happened on Earth? "Well? Who has an answer?" Cheerilee impatiently asked the class.

"I believe it was in the early hours of August 31 1888," The pony with the tiara said.

"Very good, Diamond Tiara!" Cheerilee praised the small filly.

"Diamond Tiara?" Roger thought in shock. "You have got to be kidding me. What's next? A pink pony called Pinkie Pie or a multi-coloured pony called Rainbow?"

"Now, Roger," Cheerilee turned to the human. "What year did the 'Great Fire Of Buckville' happen?"

Roger didn't know the answer to this one. He remembered the 'Great Fire Of London' happened in 1666, so he answered with, "1666?"

"Correct!" Cheerilee beamed. She then turned towards the tiara-wearing pony and asked her a question.

Roger leant towards Applebloom and said, "Who's this 'Diamond Tiara' character then?"

"You may have not guessed yet, but she is the bully of this school." The yellow pony said.

"I wonder if she's as good as me?" Roger smirked to himself. "Spike did say to me that she was a bitch." He whispered.

Applebloom shook her head. "She's much worse than that," She said. "Diamond doesn't care about anypony but herself. She even once ran away from her home due to her parents 'nagging' at her. But ah think that's a lie."

"Wow," Roger thought. "She's just like me. A bully, a heartless bastard and a parent hater. Maybe we could get along just fine." He then smiled evilly. "Maybe I could talk to her after this lesson?" He said to the cowpony.

Applebloom gasped. "Are ya crazy! Who knows what she might do ta ya?"

"Princess Celestia!"

"Correct!"

Applebloom sighed. "Ah don't want ya ta get hurt because I like-" Applebloom only just notice Roger looking straight at Diamond Tiara, his eyes in shock.

"What the fu*k did you just say?" Roger whispered to the pony known as Diamond Tiara.

She scorned at him. "Like, what the heck is your problem?" She growled. "I don't have time for freaks like you!" She then turned around on her stool and stared at the blackboard like nothing had ever happened.

Roger leaned back onto his stool in anger and disappointment. "I told ya she's worst than a bitch." Applebloom smirked.

"She said something... that was hard to imagine." Roger said with surprise in his voice.

"Last question of this lesson!" Cheerilee beamed. "When did Discord break free from his prison, only to be imprisoned again by the Elements Of Harmony?" She turned to Roger. "Well?"

Roger gulped. He had no idea who Discord was or who or what the Elements Of Harmony were. "100 years ago?" Roger hopelessly answered.

"That's not possible," Cheerilee said in shock. Even the class of children were shocked. "Everypony in Equestria knows about that. Where have you been? On the moon?"

The class laughed. "Um, well... ugh, you see... I haven't been around lately... Okay, I'm not really from Equestria! I'm from a completely different world! I admit it!" Roger exclaimed as loudly as he could, slammed his head onto the table and rested his hands on his head, breathing heavily and quickly. He knew what he had done. Everypony in Equestria would be staring at him in disgust and confusion.

"What?" Cheerilee whispered. The children murmured in shock and surprise. Applebloom was staring blankly at Roger, shocked and disappointed that her soon-to-be best friend was an alien.

The classroom door, closed tightly and motionless, suddenly burst open and 2 figures dashed in. They were Twilight and Spike, both with looks of worry. "Cheerilee!" Twilight barked. "We're very sorry if he has caused any trouble to anypony."

Cheerilee and the children were all looking directly at the two creatures. "Oh, so this 'alien' belongs to you?" She asked the unicorn.

"'A-alien'?" Twilight asked nervously. She then sighed. "So, he told you then?"

Roger tutted loudly. Everypony looked at him, including his two 'guardians'. "I had no choice!" He said while shrugging. "She asked me a question that I had no idea what the answer was."

Cheerilee then tilted her head in confusion. "Then how did you know the answers to the previous history questions?"

"Well, whatever happened in Equestria also happened in my world. You had 'Jake the Ripper' while we had 'Jack the Ripper'." Every animal Roger was talking to all gasped in shock. "The 'Great Fire Of Buckville' or whatever the place was called sounded similar to the 'Great Fire Of London', which happened in the exact year... 1666!"

Everypony gasped as loudly as they could. Some even fainted on the spot. "But... How is that possible?" Twilight boomed.

"Don't look at me," Roger said. "What I want to know is who's idea was it to bring me here and why? Why me? Why not anybody else? What is this place? Where is this place? Who is your queen or ruler of this place? I demand to know!" His vision then went black.

"Applebloom!" Cheerilee boomed. Even though Roger's world went black, he could still hear everything that was going on. "Why did you do that!"

"He wouldn't shut up!" Applebloom exclaimed. "What else could've been done?"

"He was going to stop shouting," Twilight said. "If you had waited, he would've stopped shouting."

Applebloom sounded really upset. "Ah'm sorry miss. Ah jus' wanted him to stop. He really scares me. Ah don't want to be friends with somepony who shouts like that - let alone somepony who doesn't even belong in Equestria." She then galloped off out of the classroom.

The classroom was then silent. There wasn't a sound, a voice or a sign of hope. Just silence. Roger's vision improved suddenly and his eyes fluttered open. He recognised the environment and a small smile filled his face. He was in his room. In his own house. On Earth. He slowly sat up and looked around to see if it was real. He recognised everything. His PS3 was still on with the main menu of the game, 'Shadow of the Colossus' showing up on the screen, his cup of tea that he had made before he went to school earlier was sitting on his desk, and not a drop of tea was to be found.

He stood up to his full height and started to walk out of his room. He could hear his parents arguing downstairs. He stopped on the spot, hoping they didn't hear him.

"Crap!" He quietly exclaimed. "What do I do?" Just before he started to creep, he felt a weird sensation tingling through his body. His bottom-half of his body then started disappearing in front of him. His feet were completely gone, then his legs and then his torso. "No!" He exclaimed.

"Roger!" A voice boomed from downstairs. "Is that you!"

Roger recognised the voice. "Dad!" He shouted. "Mum! HELP!" His chest then disappeared and all that was left was his neck and head. "FU*K!" Roger was gone. Both his parents dashed up the stairs and into the bully's room.

"Where the fu*k is he!" Jack, Roger's father, exclaimed.

"Just calm down dear," Jenny, Roger's mother, said. "I'm sure that we're so worried about Roger that we are hearing his voice. Just calm down and be patient. I'm sure he will be back before the end of this week."

Roger flew as fast as lightning through the purple portal. It was exactly the same purple as Twilight was. "Fu*king unicorn!" He barked, immediately blaming Twilight. "Why didn't she just leave me there. What do they want with me?" He then reached the end of the portal.

Once he reached the end of the portal, Roger flew out of it, glided through the air for a few feet, and slammed on the ground and skidded for another few feet until stopping in front of a big apple tree. The tree was covered with apples of different shapes, sizes and colours. Roger grunted in pain, mumbled the words, "I'm going to kill her." and slowly stood up to his maximum height. He looked around and saw many other apples trees. Many of them were much smaller than the grand one in front of him. He was just about to walk off when he heard weeping and sniffing from behind the colossal tree. He slowly crept towards the noise and what he saw surprised him. It was Applebloom, who looked a right mess. Her mane was dirty and untidy; her red bow on her head was muddy and scrunched up. Her eyes were red and filled with tears.

"What the hell happened to you?" Roger whispered to the filly.

"You. You happened, Roger." Applebloom coldly spoke, her accent was nowhere to be heard.

"What did I do!"

"You...ah...liked you... ah was so looking forward ta introducing mah friends ta you. Becomin' friends with you, but-" She then burst into tears. "You're an alien!" She suddenly roared at the human. "A lousy, evil, cold-hearted alien!" She quickly stood up. "Buck off! Just buck off from me and mah friends! Buck off from Equestria and back to your world! NOW!" She then dashed off, tears were everywhere. Her throat was building up with emotion. After a few seconds, her silhouette went behind some apple trees and disappeared.

Roger looked towards where Applebloom ran off to. He sighed and said, "Lousy, evil, cold-hearted alien?" He looked down at his feet, then his legs, and then his chest. "Maybe she's right... Maybe I am an alien."

An evil smile then appeared on his face. "These ponies are weak and mindless. If everyone fears me on my world, then they can fear me on their world." He evilly looked up to the sky which was filled with dark clouds and burst out laughing. "Ha! Ha! Hahahaha! Mwhahahahahah!" Roger then walked in the direction of where Applebloom ran off to, each step increasing his evil smile. "Watch out, Equestria. Here I come!"
