Going insane
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterI frowned in confusion.
“Really?” I questioned. She nodded.
“Haven’t you ever seen yourself in a mirror?” She asked. I hesitated and looked at the ground, not answering her, I then look up at her.
“Yes, but I saw pupils last time I checked.” I lied. I didn’t want to, but I did. How can I tell her that I’m human? Does she know what a human is?
“Well, I can take you back to the library to see for yourself, but first what’s your name?” she frowned at me. I blinked in confusion. What’s my name? Should I say my real name? Or should I make up my own name? What should my pony name be? I went cross-eyed, staring at the smoke that surrounded my cigarette and my snout.
“Smoggy.” I said simply. It sounded odd and I knew that there is a difference between smog and smoke, but I liked the sound of ‘Smoggy’ so I stuck with it.
“Well Smoggy, nice to meet you, I guess. Please follow me and we can get to know each other a bit more.” I stood up. I was at least one foot larger than her. She walked past me towards a small town a fair bit away. She trotted off towards it and I followed her. No, I’m not creepy, I didn’t stare at her flank. I sigh and continue smoking, slowly heading towards the town that I’m assuming is Ponyville. I was about twelve metres behind Twilight before she turned and told me to hurry up. I lazily increased my stride, quickly passing her and speedily heading off towards Ponyville. After reaching the outskirts, I sat and waited for Twilight, and after five minutes, she finally caught up to me, out of breath.
“Took your time.” I said.
“How are you so fast?” She asked between gasps for air.
“I’m not fast, you’re just slow.” I retorted. She sighed.
“Whatever, follow me.” She exhausted a sigh and turned, leading the way as I followed close behind her.
We finally reached her library and I was extremely tired. I’m never usually tired, but for some reason I was today. She walked inside and after putting out my cigarette, I went inside as well.
“The mirror is in my bathroom, downstairs and first door to the left.” Twilight informed me.
“Thanks.” I replied. I then trotted downstairs, looking around at everything, taking it all in. I reached the bathroom door and nudged it open; it wasn’t very large. It was about the size of small shack. I saw the mirror and I walked over to it. I stared at myself for a while. Not too shabby. I had a black and white stripped spiky mane and I had an olive green coat. My eyes were a dark yellow colour, and Twilight was correct, I had no pupils. After a while of staring at myself in the mirror, I walked back out and upstairs to be greeted by a purple and green dragon.
“Who are you?” he asked. I really had no idea what to say.
“A friend of Twilight’s.” I replied. Before he could say anything I quickly trotted past him and over to where Twilight was seated, poring over a book. I let out a soft cough and she looked up at me.
“Well?” she asked.
“You’re right, I have no pupils, no idea why though.” I responded.
“I’ve been reading about it, but there’s nothing as to why you wouldn’t have any,” She sighed and placed the book down. “So, Smoggy, where are you from?” I hesitate to tell her another lie, but I do anyway.
“I’m from Manehattan.” I replied.
“Manehattan? What are you doing all the way here in Ponyville?” she inquired.
“Just looking for a place to get away from all the noise.” I should stop lying.
“Oh, do you have a place to stay?” she asked. I didn’t want to intrude on her. So I lied. Again.
“Yeah, I’m staying at a friends house.”
“All right, then.”
After leaving the library, I decided to take a look around. I walked around the town staring at all the buildings. A pink pony I recognized as Pinkie Pie stared at me for a second before gasping and speeding off. Oh no, she’s going to host a party at my house. Wait, I don’t have a house. I shrugged and walked over to a park. There was a fountain there and near that there was a bench. I sat and sighed, wondering how I got in this mess. I was happy that I was in Equestria, but sad that I probably won’t see my friends or 'family' again.
It was getting dark and I had nowhere to stay or go. I laid down on my side and yawned then closed my eyes. After a few minutes of having my eyes closed and getting comfortable, I felt a bit odd, like somepony was watching me. I opened one eye then suddenly fell off the bench in surprise. Pinkie Pie was staring at me, her brow slightly furrowed.
“Aren’t you going to go home?” she asked, she sounded concerned, I wasn’t sure why she was though. I sighed sadly.
“No, I don’t have a home just yet.” I replied.
“You can live with me!” she suddenly exclaimed, her tone much happier than previously. Before I could say anything, she somehow lifted me on to her back and rushed back to her shop and dumped me on a chair.
“Now you look a bit hungry, here, have some fudge!” she shoved some fudge in my face. I ate it before I choked and licked my lips.
“Thanks, but I’m really tired at the moment...”
“Pinkie Pie, at your service!” she interrupted.
“Yeah, Pinkie, as I was saying I’m really tired at the moment and would like to get some rest.” She looked saddened, but lightened up a second later.
“OK! The guest bed is upstairs, first room on the left!” She picked me up once more and rushed me upstairs and tossed me on to a soft bed and pulled a thick blanket over me.
“Sleep well, mister!”
“Smoggy.” I quickly said, but I don’t think she heard because she rushed downstairs after turning off the lights. I yawned and closed my eyes, wondering why Pinkie was being so hospitable and hoping not to be woken once again as I drifted off to sleep, awaiting the next day.

Authors note: Alright, hopefully after this I will have enough time on my hands to lengthen my chapters and put more detail and such.
