a dark beginning
Chapter 3
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAN: lots of positive reviews so far. I just wanna say I love you guys I don't know what I would do without you and I don't want to think of it either. I will be more than happy to answer any questions that you have about the story. And feel free to pm me any ideas and Oc's I'll need them for the climax (it's still far way but no harm in searching sooner than latter)
ok I realized I had a LOT of spelling errors and weird wordings. I fixed some but I hardly think I got them all but oh well I guess you'll have to deal with that or you could tell me what's wrong and I can fix it.
Oh shit I think I fucked up. I just fell on the princess of a whole nation. Everyone was kind of just standing there. Their faces were frozen in an ungodly shock. Even though what happened could be a serious crime I couldn't help but laugh at their faces.
Apparently the princess found it funny too because when I turned to faces her it looked like she was trying to suppress her laugh. Tough to her dismay a cute little chuckle was let out when she my face of confusion.
They all suddenly realized what was happening and started to bow. I figured it was a good idea to fallow their lead so I went into a tebow. Why a tebow, well cuz I'm a troll. Problem? It also made it funnier that she had no idea that what I was doing was wrong.
"rise my little ponies" everyone rose so I fallowed the command even though I was not a pony. "zack I am so sorry I could not summon you to the castle like I planed. I had tried summoning you time and time again but could not bring you through. Each time I tried the spell got harder and harder. I was finally able to get you through but I did not have much control of it. It is lucky you appeared so close to the castle." she seamed to pause when she saw the sword and sheath on pinkie''s back that I quickly grabbed "you did not get into to much trouble I hope?"
"nothing I couldn't handle your majesty. It was just a simple pest problem." I replied as simply as possibly. She seemed to study me before her eyes rested on mine, almost as if she was staring into my sole. Now I'm not sure if you've ever had someone stair into your sole, but if you have then you know it's scarey. I was almost tempted to tell her I pretty much killed the manticor but before I could she gave me a nod and let the subject drop.
I don't know if I was happy or sad that I didn't get to brag about it. But it no longer matters I guess. "twilight I would like you to look after zack here for a few days. I will send news with luna when she arrives for nightmare night. Until then zack I suggest you get yourself comfortable, I'm afraid I do not have a reverse spell to bring you back home."
I immediately dropped the pieces of glass I was picking up for twilight succeeding in only making a bigger mess. "what" was the only word that could come to my mind at the moment. What else was I going to say. I just learned that I have no way out of this strange pony leading world, and unless ponies here eat meat I'm afraid I might die from malnourishment.
"I'm sorry zack it was the last thing I could do. If there was any other way I would have done it but I saw no other way. I wish there was something I could do for you but there is simply nothing I could do." princess celestia seemed actually distressed at her action even though I probably would have done something similar, especially if it meant my peoples safety.
"no, no truly its fine. I get that you did what you had to but it doesn't make it any less shocking. But really I don't know why I truly care it's not like I have anything to go back to" that was the honest truth to I had nothing back on earth. If anything I should be happy to be here.
"really? Care to explain?"
"not really princess maybe one day I will tell you but not today, it's still a sore subject."
"then I will respect your privacy. It has been a pleasure talking to you all but if you excuse me I must be off my dear ponies."
"aw but princess you'll miss zack's welcome to equestria party. Will you please stay?" everyone looked at pinkie at shock. Twilight almost looked like she was going to faint from pure shock and horror.
"hmm, is there going to be cake?" she asked
"well duh its a party its a party after all no way is there going to be no cake."
"then I suppose I could take some time to stay" everyone but me let out I sigh of relief when she answered. Me I simply let out a chuckle at both pinkies strange antics, and the fact she literally bribed a princess to stay for a party with cake.
But sadly my happiness didn't stay for long before pinkie almost scared me back to death. She quickly pulled a cannon out from time and space and shot it in the air. Confetti and steamers rained out the top like a rainbow. Some landed I'm my eyes and blinded me. When I was able to get them of tables and food was set up in the library, and somehow miraculously rainbow dash had somehow woken up. I'm pinning that on magic and moving on.
"surprise!" they all yelled. I had no clue why but this little act had brought me out of any kind of slump that I was in. we all soon started to party like there was no tomorrow.
The party was fairly fun to my surprise, I would never have guessed that ponies would be able to do something that could hold my interest. Me and celestia hung out by the snack table most of the time talking about things from human politics to equestrian history to what I like to do in my off time. Everypony else seemed to dance and play games they occasionally came over to talk to either me or celestia.
Everything was going quite well until pinkie came over "hey zack, why aren't you dancing?" she asked
"oh I'm not very good at it I have two left feet or hooves in your case" I saw a glint go off in celestia's eyes I could almost taste the trouble that could occur.
"oh I'm sure your not that bad zack why don't you give it a try"said celestia trying to get me to embarrass myself
"i don't see you dancing celestia"
"that would be very unladylike of a princess to do" oh celestia bad choice I see your bluff and I raise
"it's also unladylike for a princess to be bribed away from her work for the promise of cake" celestia glared at me.
"Yes but at least I am not afraid to dance in a crowd of strangers" oh ok celestia that's how your going to be. If I know one thing it's easier to impress strangers than it is to not embarrass yourself in front of friends
I leaned over to pinkie and quietly told her to put on a slow song. She gave me a nod before running off. Soon a slow song started to play in place of the pony pop music. "well then would you care for a dance" I said giving her a bow and an over dramatic wave of my hand.
Celestia was too far in to pull out now so she took my hand and lead me to the dance floor. We soon stepped in place and started dancing. At first it was all an elaborate trap to say I win when she got embarrassed but we wound up having fun. There were a few awkward parts in the song that I couldn't do seeing as how it was made for a pony not me but I digress it was still fun. I hadn't recognized this at the time but everyone was staring at us as we danced. The song ended and there was complete silence throughout the library.
Hooves started to pond on the ground, I guess that was their form of clapping. Me and celestia laughed at the outcome of our little duel. At first when I heard her name I thought she was going to be stuck up, but now I know that she's the complete opposite of that.
"well my little ponies I must be off I have things I must attend too" celestia said dismissing their clapping
"aw but princess the sun is about to set this is when the fun begins. please stay" pinkie begged
celestia seemed reluctant but this was my chance for vengeance I was not about to let it slip between my fingers. "yes celestia do stay you haven't even begun to see the fun that could be had." I leaned a bit closer and more quietly said "and plus we both know that if you had something serious to do you wouldn't have stayed in the first place" and that was it the final nail in the coffin she fell right into the trap.
"alright then I shall stay for a while longer" everyone cheered when they heard that she was staying. "just let me lower the sun so the night can come"
everyone watched her as her horn began to glow a bright yellow. The wind in her hair seemed to speed up as her horn got brighter. She slowly started to lower her horn to the ground, the wind in her main started to slow down to its regular pace. Her main had finally slowed all the way down to its normal pace when the sun had set.
"wait what just happened?" I asked completely left out
"i just lowered the sun doesn't someone in your world do that?"
"n-no the sun lowers itself in my world"
"really now how does that work?"
"well you see the sun is stationary in my universe and all the planets rotate arou-
"boring come on let's play truth or dare" interrupted dash everyone disbanded then reformed on the other side of the room to play. Only me celestia and twilight were not playing.
Twilight and celestia spent the time not playing to ask me questions about astronomy. Astronomy was one of the few things I loved to study so I knew quite a lot, but there was still some things that I did not quite know.
By the time I finished everyone had already stopped playing truth or dare which I was glad for. I was also glad me and celestia made a temporary truce because I really didn't want to play truth or dare with an all powerful goddess and queen.
The night had only just begun though. Pinkie decided to bring out a few more adult games which were fun I won't lie. As the night dragged on they all became more tired so I decided to play cards with them. They didn't know all the popular ones from earth like war or blackjack so I had to teach them
twilight seemed to like blackjack not much to my surprise seeing how its a game about numbers, and celestia and me got into a very competitive game of war. It went on all the way to about two in the morning and only ended when I threw the match. How do you throw a game of chance, I hear you ask, well I don't know I just did, and just so you know she defiantly did not get all four aces.
Everypony else had gone home or fallen asleep and due to my crazy day it wasn't hard to fallow their lead. And to my surprise celestia had the same idea because when I looked over she was passed out. I guess she was still tired from trying to summon me here so many times, it was 115 times she tried if I remembered correctly. That's such a large number its crazy I know for a fact I would have given up after the tenth try.
But I guess that's why she's the princess. She's always willing to do what's necessary for her subjects and to that I give her my respect.
"goodnight princess" that was the last thing I said before falling asleep
wow I cant believe I got this done so fast I guess that's what can get done when you stay home sick with nothing else to do I hope you enjoyed this little filler chapter oh and btw my celestia is a mixture of trolestia and the regular celestia
