Author's notes: Astral projection is the spirit leaving the body for a time.

Chapter 3: Ghost?

As I lay down on the ground, my body starting to go numb, I could feel my spirit beginning to drift from my body. This was no new sensation to me, so I just let myself just leave my body. This feeling, the feeling of astral projection, is something that makes me feel so alive. I am no longer bound by any rules, and can do what I wish to do.

As I adjust to the shift from physical to metaphysical, I think of what to do. I decided that since this form can travel easier that my body, I will see what is around here.

So I phase through the roof of my cave, and continue to go up till I can see the forest as a whole. Wow this forest is big; no wonder I got loss in this thing. I could see some lights coming from the south, and decided to follow it.

I ended up floating over what looked to be a small town, and… is this world populated by little horses? All around I could see a large gathering of ponies, they were of every color of the rainbow. Correction, I'm in a world of colorful ponies.

I decide to find what all of these ponies were gathering around for, and ended up finding a stage, with a… a freaking unicorn. Did I land in the Narnia or something? Here was some light blue unicorn, with a cape, and a wizard's hat performing magic. This place is just getting odder and odder.

I watch as this unicorn performed magic for the crowd, and many of them loved it, but some of them seemed to dislike it. I could hear a pony booing the unicorn's magic. I looked and saw it was pegasus. Screw it, this world is just full of magical creatures, just accept it.

The unicorn, Trixie I am guessing since she keeps yelling out that name, then told of how she defeated some bear. I guess it is something big with prey can beat a predator. Trixie then challenged the locals to see if anyone can best her. It seems that this was too much for some orange pony, and she accepted the challenge.

The challenge ended quite quickly. The orange pony did some rope tricks, which I got to admit is pretty impressive. Trixie then used the same rope to tied up the orange pony, and remove her from the stage. Then the pegasus from before came up to the stage, and tried to challenge her as well. It ended up with the pegasus in a rainbow tornado. That unicorn has some talent.

I soon lost interest after those few challenges, and drifted around the town again. This place is quite colorful. It is like an old village that was colored by children. I liked it.

As I drifted about I saw something I never thought I would see, ever. I just couldn't help but laugh when I saw it. I blue police box. I am in a world of colorful ponies, and Doctor Who, this I got to see. I went to the police box, and phase through the door, and I was right! This was the freaking Tardis. I broke into the Tardis, wow.

After I got over my fan moment, I noticed a brown colored pony tinkering with the Tardis. Is that a pony Doctor? I got closer to him, and tried to see if I was right. I could hear him mumbling something about "Inter-dimensional shifts" and some other things I couldn't understand. Yep, this was the Doctor. When I got closer to the Doctor, he just stopped talking, and seemed to stare at me… he can't see me can he?

"Oh well hello there, sorry about that, kind of gone off on little tangent due to some local alterations to the P-Brains." Said the Doctor, "I am the Doctor, but what are you? You seem to be composed of some form of a mixture of pure energy, and vibrations." Ok so the Doctor can see me. But how can I talk to him.

I put my hands over my mouth to try to show him I can't speak. "Ah, of course, with your current frequency you are unable to talk, or even interact with the world. One moment, I can fix that right up" The Doctor pulled out his sonic screwdriver, and pointed it at me.

I could feel my entire spiritual body vibrate, it felt very weird.

"There we go; I changed your frequency to be able to partially match that of this world's 7.35 frequency. You cannot freely interact with this world, and speak. So tell me what are you?" Said the Doctor. Wait, I can now mess with things while like this? Oh I am going to enjoy this. The Doctor still waiting on my answer, I decide to be truth full to him.

"I am currently a spirit, but I am not always one. I am originally a human, and have somehow traveled to this odd place." I explained to the Doctor.

"Oh a human, it has been years since I have met another human. I have been stuck in the pony universe for decades now," said the Doctor. "How were you able to become something like this 'Spirit', as you put it?"

"This is a form of meditation, known as astral projection," I explained to the Doctor. This is weird; I am talking to the Doctor about meditations. I thought he would be more all-knowing then this.

"Ah yes, astral projection, it is one of the few things that you human were able to achieve to move to a higher state of being."

"Doctor if you don't mind me asking, where is this place, it sure isn't earth."

"Ah, you are in Equestria, it resides in a completely different dimension from the earth we know."

Great so I am in an alternate universe in which ponies rule, and magic is real. "Thanks for the help Doctor, I'm going to leave now, I still got some exploration to do."

"Ah, very well, it was nice meeting a new face around these part, so long human"

"Goodbye, Time lord," I said as I left, leaving the Doctor with a surprised look on his face. Bet he didn't expect that I knew what he was. I managed to get one over the Doctor, score 1 for humanity. Now let's see what I can do with this new…abilities….what the hell?

I looked around and saw the town looked partly destroyed. What did I miss when I was talking to the Doctor? I floated to a group of ponies, to try to get some information; I noticed two of those in the group were those that challenged Trixie. They were complementing the purple unicorn for using her magic to stop the same bear from Trixie's story. Since I had nothing better to do now, I just followed the group as they went to a tree house.

Wait is this place a library? Jackpot, I love reading. And now I got a way to find out more of this world. I wasn't really paying any more attention to the ponies any more, and was instead reading the bindings of the books. This library had everything from Science, and the way to Magic. I could find out a whole lot here. I just wish this place was better organized, there was no form of order to these books, it was all just a mismatch of books.

I stood there looking over the books long enough for the ponies to of already to of left, and I didn't even notice till I turned around. Now I got a whole night to read whatever I want, but first I'm going to get some order to these books, it is just annoying how they are put now.

I had finally finished organizing all these books. Thank god for the year I spent working for my library, I still remember the Dewey Decimal System. So now with the books finally done, I noticed that the night was almost over, and I have yet to read any of the books. Guess I will have to come back.

So I just floated out of the tree, and moved outwards towards the Everfree Forest. I managed to find my cave, and was getting ready to return to my body when I found something. My body was… well let's just say not alive anymore. What had happened? I was dead, and yet I was still here. I looked closer to my body and noticed tracks near my body, paw prints. That wolf, I got played by a wolf, and now I am freaking dead.

I am not able to return to the physical world anymore, I am stuck as a spirit. I am dead now.
