Helping the Princess, why should I actually?

Chapter 3: Chapter 2 - Getting to know the Princess.

Previous Chapter

After few hours of staying unconscious I woke up, at first I was a bit confused as to why was I sleeping on floor, but when I fully opened my eyes and looked around it all came back to me like, striking me like the thunder.

“Are thou finally awake? Good, we had to patiently wait here almost an hour for thou.” That blue horse said.

I blinked my eyes a few times as I still couldn’t believe what they saw. A talking horse. A talking, blue horse with wings and horn! And she even had what looked like tiara!

“Are thou all right?” She asked me.

I stiffed my laughter for a moment, but soon gave few chuckles, blue horse looked at me confused. I pointed at her. “Horses can’t talk! That’s scientifically impossible, you are scientifically impossible!”

“We would be very grateful if thou could withhold thine enthusiasm for a couple of minutes, and we assure thou that there’s nothing in thine room that’s not real.” She said with a deadly serious expression, yeah right.

I heard about people seeing hallucinations from the lack of sleep, but I slept for an hour, it’s not like I didn’t get any in days right? With my mind state being my main concern I stood up and walked over to the doors. “Where are thou going?” She asked me but I didn’t reply, why would I reply to my own hallucinations? It would be the same as talking to myself.

If what she said was true and I slept for an hour than Jerry should be home. “Hey, bro are you here?” I shouted and waited for response, which came after few moments.

“I’m in living room!” He shouted back, with a smile on my face I walked downstairs, that blue horse following me all the way. I didn’t really care, why should I? It’s not like Jerry could see her anyway.

I walked into the living room where our playstation was placed, Jerry held one controller and it seems that he played some kind of Dragon Ball game, I never could get into this anime stuff but my brother loved it. “Hey Jerry, how was your day? Where’s mom?”

“Hey, pretty good, what do you mean by that?” He answered.

“Well, I mean where is she? She picked you up from school right? So where’s she now?”

Jerry paused the game and gave me ‘Are you dumb or what?’ look. “What?” I added.

Jerry sighed with disappointment. “Seriously? Steph mom and dad are on two weeks long vacations.”

“…”

“Steph?”

“They are?”

“Yeah, they were telling us about this for like six months, they wanted to spend some time with just each other and asked us if this was all right, both you and me agreed.” He scratched his head. “You even said that you’ll take care of the house and everything.”

I looked at my brother completely dumbfounded as my brain was starting to collect the puzzles, images of my parents talking about their trip to Europe were quickly coming back, making me feel embarrassed.

“Well, I suppose in our situation it’s quite convenient isn’t it?” Jerry added.

I raised my eyebrow in confusion. “What situation are you talking about?”

“I don’t think parents would agree to help Luna so easily.” Jerry said and waved his hand, bringing me deeper and deeper into sea of confusion.

“Ok, primo who’s Luna, secondo who are you waving to, terzo do we have anything to eat? I’m starving.”

Jerry chuckled softly. “Yeah we should have some Spaghetti which mom left, just heat it up a little. And your two first questions are connected, Luna is that pony standing behind you.”

In that moment I felt as if something in my brain broke, I could literally hear creaking noises coming from inside of my head. “What did you just say?”

“Oh come on, she’s right there, hey Luna!” He said and waved again, soon from behind me I heard her voice. “We welcome thou, Sir Jerry.”

I slowly turned around and saw that blue horse, I mean Luna standing there with a cocky grin on her muzzle. “You’re real?”

She nodded.

“Everything’s all right sis?” Jerry asked concerned.

“No, no I’m fine, just, I just have to sit for a moment.” I sat down on a sofa almost falling over, I heard Jerry and Luna talking about something, my brother was talking with a blue horse, freaking blue horse.

I took a deep breath and counted to ten, then released it. I repeated that a couple times and looked at those two, talking as if it was normal, heck, if Jerry can deal with this, then I have to try as well. And with that decision I stood up and walked over to them. “Luna right? I will believe that you exist, for now at least.”

Luna nodded and smiled. “Under normal circumstances we would have to ask thou to address us with proper use our Princess status, but since we are just a guest in thine household Luna shall be fine.” Oh great, so she’s some kind of royal snob.

“Now, since thou finally calmed down can we tell you our story and what we ask of thou?” I nodded.

Luna sat on her haunches and cleared her throat. “We shall try to make this as short as possible. We are one of the Princesses of the land called Equestria, it is a beautiful country populated by us, ponies. One night we were helping our subjects with their nightmares, when we came back from their dreams we were already in this world, more specifically in the park of some sort.” Images from morning came back, when I ran through a park to make it a shortcut, was it then that she arrived?

“When we finally comprehend the situation realizing that this isn’t our world.” Luna continued her story. “It was obvious that we will need and ally of some sort to help us come back, and then we saw thou running through the park.”

“Why me?” I asked the obvious question.

“Thou were one of not so many humans in the park at the moment, and thou seemed like the most trustworthy one.” She said and ended with small wink. “We followed thou the whole day and when we finally got a chance to speak with thou in thine room...”

“I passed out.” I finished for her.

Luna nodded. “Soon after that Sir Jerry came back home, he was quite surprised to see me at first, but unlike thou he didn’t faint and let us explain everything. He even told us a few things about this world, we know that thine kind is called humans from him.” She said and smiled towards my brother who quickly returned the gesture.

I scratched my head, it’s not like I could just deny her existence now can I? “Well fine then, what do you want us to do?”

“She only wants a place to stay until she’ll find a way to get back home.” Jerry answered my question proudly, maybe it was my imagination but he was pretty excited for her being here.

“Yes, exactly, we would like to stay here in thine household for now.” She added and stood up.

I sighed with defeat and threw my arms into the air. “Fine, you can stay.” I added and wanted to leave the room but something struck me. “By the way, why are you talking like that? Is this how you ponies talk?”

Luna looked at me with a small blush on her muzzle, she looked quite funny when embarrassed. “It’s a long story, we…I was, absent for a thousand years and we, I mean, I can’t get used to the modern way of talking.” She said struggling with each word, I had to stifle my laugh.

“Are thou finding our speech problems humorous?” She asked almost outraged.

“Yeah just a bit, Princess.” I said earning a death glare from Luna, maybe her stay won’t be that bad. “Anyways, since you two seem to get along so well I’ll just leave you alone and get some sleep.” I once again started to leave the room but stopped just before the staircase. “Oh, and we can’t let anyone know about this, all right?”

Jerry and Luna nodded, with a proud smile I finally could go upstairs and get myself a proper nap, a one on the bed not on the floor.

“Hey Luna, do you know what video games are?”

“We do not, but this thing in thy hands looks interesting, is this what thou call a “video” game?” Jerry chuckled and said something else but I couldn’t hear it, I stepped into my room and laughed at the absurd of this whole situation.

I sat down on my bed and took off my T-Shirt, leaving it on the floor. I finally could lay down in a soft bed I sighed and closed my eyes.

“A blue horse playing video games? Yeah right. I would like to see this.” Were my last words before finally falling asleep. What I didn’t know, was that under my floor in my living room, my brother was creating a future video game champion.
