“While I tell you about me and what it was like back where I came from, feel free to ask me questions” I said to the ponies gathered around me. The ponies nodded and waited for me to begin. I hope they like my story.

I took a deep breath and began “Where I come from technology was a lot more advanced than it is here. We all have different electronic devices to help with our everyday lives.”

“Sorry but what exactly are you again?” Pinky asked with her big smile on her face.

I can already tell that I will be getting a lot of questions from her. “Well, I am what you would call a human. Instead of walking on all fours like the animals where I come from, we walk on two. We are the only creature where I come from that can talk and do basic everyday activities, like you do here. I hope I didn’t make it too smart and complicated for her. I don’t want her mind to do what mine does when something confuses me, go into shut down mode.

“Ok, that makes sense. So you are the alpha species of where you come from.” Twilight said to me, she had calmed down from her grumpy mood and was starting to take a little interest.

Ahh! She sounds like a freakin science teacher, only she is a pony and we aren’t in school. “Exactly.”

“I don’t know if you can tell or not, but I am not an adult. I am only seventeen years old; I am considered a teenager from where I come from.” Twilight must have become really interested with me now because she had to comment on yet another one of my sentences. Yep this is going to be a long day.

“Wait, all of us are seventeen years old as well. It seems as the only thing different between us is the species, time frame, and where you came from.”

Oook, maybe I made the wrong decision about going into so much detail with my sentences. I am starting to get a little annoyed with the science lectures. Ugh, I thought I was away from school now that I died. God.

“Ok, that’s a little creepy, but back to the story. I get up every morning really early to go to school. I take this bag with me, everywhere I go because it has my school supplies in it and just everything I take with me around on a daily basis.”

I was sitting up on the stairs now, getting interested in my own story I was telling. I should go into speaking, or something along the lines of talking to people. Maybe I’ll become a therapist. Ha ha…NOPE. Not going to happen…EVER.

Rainbow Dash was sitting behind me and found my bag. I was surprised to find out that she had managed to open it and was now looking through the contents. “You sure do have a lot of stuff in here. What is it?” What, is my bag considered to be something like an artifact from god himself?

I turned around and looked at Rainbow Dash looking through my bag. She pulled out my gel pen from my bag and held it in her hoof “What is this?”

“That Rainbow Dash, is a pen. It is one of the things we use as a writing utensil. You use a quill to write with, don’t you?” I asked the ponies around me.

“Yes, we use quills to write with, but I am curious to how it works” Twilight asked, generally interested in the pen. Simple ponies are amused by simple things I guess. I will humor her and show her how it works, frankly because I want to show them my skills as an artist.

I reached into the bag and pulled out my notebook, which had nothing school related in it. I go to a college class for half of the day in which I need no school supplies at all. I loved being in school, I didn’t have to do anything.

Twilight and the others gathered around close to me as I opened my notebook to a blank sheet of paper. I started to make a sketch of the scenery around us, I drew the trees and bushes that were in front of us and even drew a bird flying through the air. I put my pen down after I was finished and let them look at it closely.

“Wow, you can write that? That’s so cool, can I keep it?” Rainbow Dash said to me, still looking at the drawing I made.

“Sure, I love to portray what is around me; I will make a lot more eventually.” I gently ripped the page out of the notebook, so I didn’t rip the actual drawing and flipped it over to its blank side. I wrote ‘to Rainbow Dash on it’.

“I have to say this and I am sorry for it, but your writing is as bad as Rainbow’s.” Twilight said to me, nicely. Ouch. That comment hit me like the purse from that pony in Canterlot. I looked at Rainbow Dash and she was looking at me, we must have both had the same thought in our head. I don’t care, at least I can write. Isn’t that good enough?

“Here you Rainbow Dash” I said as I handed her the picture. Twilight doesn’t get a picture. She made me want to shed a man tear. Ughughugh.

I got out of my funk and decided that I was going to show them the wonders of electronics. I took out my laptop from the bag and set it on my lap. “This is called a laptop; it is one of those electronic devices I told you about earlier. This is used to listen to music write things down, and much, much more.”

I pushed the power button and the screen burst into color. Oh god I forgot that I left it on. Well, that saves me, the boot up process at least. I tapped the keys and typed in my password. The welcome beep sounded and my home screen was visible. The ponies continued to look at the screen, their eyes fixed on the bright colors.

“Back where I come from I listened to a type of music called dubstep. Not a lot of people in my town listened to it or liked it for that matter, but I liked it so I listened to it anyways. Do you want to hear some?”

“Sure, it sounds like it could be cool” Rainbow Dash said to me.

Well, that settles it then. I pushed the play button and the music began to play. I did not get the reaction I was hoping to get. Everypony besides Rainbow Dash put their hooves over their ears and told me to turn it off. Well, my dreams of getting the mane 6 to like dubstep has been shot down. Much like my dream to go and become a computer technician. Ho hum, death can be a real pain in the keister sometimes. Oh well, back to my new real world.

I paused the music and looked at the group. Another stupid smile painted on my face. Are you really that stupid, you smile at something that makes their ears bleed, not literally of course, but you get the point. Now tell them you’re sorry…and get that stupid smile off your face. For once I listened to my brain and looked at them with the ‘I’m sorry’ look. “Sorry, I didn’t mean for it to be that bad for you, I won’t play it again.”

“Thank you. I guess the music you listened to back home is a little too strong for us” Twilight said to me, she looked a little sad, probably because I tried to do something nice but it backfired on me. Now where have I had that feeling before? Oh yeah…about every moment I have been in this place before about two hours ago!

Rainbow Dash flew came close to my head and whispered to me “I like it; you will have to let me listen to more of it sometime. I think its super cool!”

I had another moment. Not the one where you chew it over with Twix, but you get the idea. Rainbow Dash likes Dubstep! Some faith in my life has been restored!

I decided to change the subject seeing as it was getting late and the sun was starting to set. This is going to be one of the most gut wrenchingly awkward statements I am going to say, but it needs to be done. I looked at Twilight “Umm, by any chance did Celestia say anything about where I will be staying?” I am waiting for the “you have to make your own shelter” to come out of her mouth. After I thought about that my mind shown me an image that made me want to laugh and cry at the same time. My mind portrayed me as being a hermit with a large beard and an ugly brown tunic. Get out of my head! This isn’t funny. What if I actually had to end up doing that? Aw god, now I can’t stop thinking about it. Damn it.

“I have to take you to an apartment building near the center of town. Celestia told me that you have permission to use an apartment on the top floor of the building. I also forgot to mention that she will be coming around sometime in the near future to hear what you have to say for herself. She was sorry for the horrible treatment; it’s just that she was under pressure from the guards to do it. Just expect her to come around later to talk to you.” Twilight said to me with a smile.
Yay! I got a smile out of her. One small step for man, one giant leap for me.

“Ok, so if I have to go into the center of town to get to the apartment, won’t the other ponies be afraid of me?” I asked her. That’s all I need, to go into Ponyville just to get pelted with fruits and vegetables by the residents like I was the harbinger of death.

I noticed that Rainbow Dash wasn’t with them anymore. Twilight smiled again “Don’t worry, Rainbow Dash went to tell the mayor of your arrival, everyone will be fine. You won’t get hassled by anypony.”

“Thank god, I am grateful. I need something good to happen for me for once” I said as I got my bag ready for the small trek to Ponyville. “I’m ready to go if you are.”

“Ok let’s go” Pinky Pie said happily as she bounced up and down next to me.

We started to walk towards Ponyville, taking the forest path that I walked up earlier that day. Pinky Pie must have taken a liking to me because she never left my side as we walked , well me, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Applejack walked; Pinky on the other hand bounced. She better not like me just because I gave her something sweet to eat, because that would make me a little on the mad side.

We got to the outskirts of the town and I stood there frozen. It looked exactly like it did in the show! It was perfect down to every last detail. My god, I live in Ponyville now! It’s like every dream a Brony could have all wrapped up into a nice present for me.

“Well, here we are. Let’s get you to your room so you can get some rest. You look like you need it.”

You don’t say? Well, if you had to go through what I did for the past two days you would be tired too. I thought as I walked through the main road in the town.

Ponies were in the streets and they were looking at me, but they didn’t look at me like the ones in Canterlot did. They looked at me like they accepted who I was. Thanks RD, I will have to thank you for this one.

We made it to the apartment, which by the way was located right across the street from Twilight’s house. Perfect, of course it would be right across the street.

They walked me up to my room and we stood out in front of the door. Twilight handed me the key to the door with her magic. “Here you go. Now go get some sleep, we will talk together more tomorrow.”

“Ok” I said before I turned around to unlock the door.

“Wait you never told us your name” Pinkies voice boomed from right behind my ear.

I jumped up in fear and hit my head on the ceiling. Ouch, now that did hurt a little. I landed on the ground and grabbed my chest. “Geez Pinky, warn me next time. I almost had a heart attack. But your right, I never did tell you my name…it’s Kyle”

“Okie Dokie Loki, see you tomorrow Kyle” Pinky said to me before bouncing back to the others.

We said our goodbyes and I opened the door to my room. It was more than I expected let me tell you that. I managed to figure out that I was about one and a half feet taller than them, and their doors were the exact same size as me. Well, at least there is one good reason I am short, now I won’t hit my head on the door frame.

I walked into my room and didn’t even look around. I walked over to my bed and flopped down onto it happily. At least it’s softer than the cot I had in jail or the fallen tree.

Well, tomorrow I am going to bet Celestia comes to pay me a visit. Oh boy, I wonder what she will think of me.

So far being dead hasn’t been all that bad besides my series of bad events. I like it here, it’s like I am being given a second chance. I just hope it doesn’t have to end.

Then I fell asleep with my face in the pillow.
