I'm bach!!

Ever have one of the moments were almost everything you have done through a period blanks from your memory? I am now experiencing this and it feels like my brain is melting. Most all unimportant moments the had happened to me and around me started were sent to the recycling bin buried deep within the depths of my mind.

After a bried moment of standing still with a dead look on my face I came back to sense with the world. Doing to reasonable thing in the situation I started the painful process of pulling pieces of memory back and reread them. All I could remember at this moment was something about zombies, ponies, dragons and the odd feeling I had done something very stupid.

"Well this isn't good..." I mumbled to myself as I looked around. I found that I had been holding a pony in my arms and there were three other ponies giving me a confused look. More information returned as I looked at the ponies. Names and some events returned to my brain. "Lets see... Hammer.... Rainbow... Longtrot.... and...." I thought as I looked at each pony. There was a grey pony with black hair that I just couldn't remember.

"Oh yah, magic popupoutofnowhere pony." I thought as more memories popped up. I remembered the forest and small pieces of me doing battle with weird zombie things. "Are you okay?" Rainbow asked. I stood there staring at her for a moment as my mind froze for a moment. "Talking ponies.... I almost forgot about that." I thought.

"I thinik I'm okay but I have no idea what going on right now..." I replied with a few pauses as my mind continued to malfunction. "Say... what are we doing right now?" I asked. The ponies gave me a *WTF is wrong with you* look as there jaws dropped. I just gave them a blank yet serious stare as I waited for an answer.

"We're going to the library." Longtrot said. My blank look continued. "You really don't remember?" Longtrot asked. "Nope..." I replied. "It appears most all infomation I have gained for the past few weeks are momentarily gone. You said we're going to a library, why?" I asked.

"Why what?" Longtrot asked. "Why are we going to a library?" I extended. "To tell Twilight that we have found you." Longtrot said. "What in the world just happened too you? First your all hyper and active and now suddenly you don't remember what we're doing. I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with you." Rainbow said

"I also think there something wrong with me but that is not something to decide until we have given proof there is. Why don't we just continue on our way as I hunt down more pieces of my memory. As for what happened to me I do believe my mind just had a massive info dump. Oh well, I doubt it is that much of an issue for the meantime." I said before continuing to walk.

I melt a minor burning feeling run down my arm and looked at it. There lay the burn mark for the champion zombie that I had done battle with. It was a good memory in my book. Nothings more awesome then having an epic battle then winning it. I continued to find more pieces of information as I saw more items of importance. I found a necklace in my pocket which further remind me of the battles with zombies which in return reminded me of the forest and slowly I started to rewind my memories until I had a big piece of history in my mind.

I could remember most everything up until entering the forest. I still didn't know why I had done all those things but I felt it was rather important that I found out why but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't remember why I had went on an epic journey or for how long I had been gone.

We arrived at what I quickly remembered as the library. Longtrot knocked on the door and we were greeted by the ever so purple unicorn Twilight. She looked tired and irritated but not enough not to jump with excitement at the site of four ponies and a human standing that now stood before her. "You found him!!" She yelled as she bounced up and hit her head against the door post.

I did what I could to keep from laughing with wasn't the hardest thing to pull off but I did snicker and the site. Twilight rubbed her head and gave me an irritated look but it quickly went back to excitement. "Come in, come in!" Before rushing inside. We follow suit and wandered into the library. We were met with an amazing sight. The library was spotless, not single book lay on the ground.

"What a wonderful sight to behold if I say so myself." I said as I looked around. It felt very different from what I had excepted though I didn't know why I would think differently about it.

It seemed my words had attacked Twilight like an arrow to the chest. "HE CAN TALK?!!" Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs. Once more my face went blank as I witnessed the minor freak out of the purple unicorn. I didn't know what she was saying because it sounded like a ton of complaining. Doing the rational thing my mind had shut off anything that could be considered background noise, such as complaining and quickly moved my attention to the other ponies in the room.

An odd realization hit as I looked at Rainbow. "Weren't you doing something....? Something about getting others ponies." I asked in the middle of Twilight's rant. Rainbow mimiced my look but threw in some extra confusion just for good taste. "No..." Rainbow replied.

A long pause followed. "Well this is awkward..." I said breaking the ice. Rainbow simply nodded before we both distracted by an ever so loud Twilight. "Did you hear anything I just said?!" She yelled. All me, Rainbow, Hammer and Longtrot looked at each other as if telling the other to say something.

I stuck up my finger suggesting I bring the bad new and we all turned our attention back to Twilight. "Nope." I said bluntly. Twilight was rather dumbfounded at the it. It seemed any good reputation I had built up with my silent self seemed to have been destroyed.

"Welp, I think the easiest way for my not to makes things worse than there already are is to shut up and let you do what you feel needs to be down." I said before walking over to a wall and sitting up against it. Twilight stood there trying to understand what all just happened before snapping out of her thoughts.

"Wait, I have so many questions!" She said with glow in her eyes. I facepalmed and sighed. "Get those who wish to listen and once we have the group of interest the interrogation can begin." I replied with an annoyed tone. The good news was that Twilight seemed to understand me right away instead of having to think about it. Tends to be a rare thing but she is the smart one or so I assume.

"Well then, lets go get the rest!" Twilight said with one of the most determined voices I have ever heard. Her sudden change of mood even surprised me. I realized just how weird it would be to be around me because of her. "Thank Twilight, for enlightening me to my own insanity. I would give you something but I'm having a hard time moving." I thought as the group walked towards the door.

Longtrot looked back at me. "You coming?" She asked. I shook me head in reply. My muscles seemed to be locking up and I felt pretty weak all of a sudden. "Oh no you don't, I'm not letting you runaway again!" Twilight shouted loud enough to hurt my ears. "Don't worry, I can keep an eye on him." Hammer said out of the blue. I had completely forgotten she was there which was even more confusing considering I had not let go of her.

"Is that really such a good idea? He seems to have beaten you already." Longtrot replied jokingly. "I just haven't tried to get away yet!" Hammer replied with some anger in her voice.

"Okay but if he gets away you'll be the one looking for him." Longtrot replied. "Deal!" Hammer yelled. Twilight gave a distasteful look but quickly submitted to the idea without complaint. The two walked out and were quickly followed by Rainbow.

"Well that was weird..." I said trying to hide the fact I was starting to feel really bad now. I couldn't move much more than my mouth and fingers and I felt light headed. "You ponies seem to except things extremely fast, its kind of disappointing." I continued.

"What makes you say that?" Hammer asked curiously. "Well, I started talking. Reaction: D'okay. Random dragon attack in the forest, Reaction: D'okay. Strange new creature pops up, disappears reappears and starts having conversations with talking ponies. I'm guessing you know what the reaction is though if I want to be truthful I excepting things extremely fast too but at least I try to make sense of the whole thing though I do have a lot more to makes sense of."

Once again I let my mouth run causing confusion. Hammer thought for moment before replying and ended up falling on my recent comment. "Why is it disappointing?" She finally asked. "Well I like to argue and listen to arguments and debates but so far the only stuff I have heard has been Twilight and Lyra doing to minor debating about the whole names hold power thing, which I have some reasonable arguments about."

"Anyways I think It might just be that I haven't done a whole lot of talking with others since I got here, glad I can finally start talking again." I said with a minor smile. Hammer smile back. "I know you told us not to ask this yet but why didn't you talk to us to begin with?" Hammer asked quietly.

I sighed and closed my eyes. "Fine, I guess I can spoil it for you... Now, this might sound somewhat mean but the reason why I didn't talk was mainly because I didn't trust the talking ponies I had witnessed and it seemed far safer to just keep quiet and hide as much information from you guys. It ended up being very successful thanks to the whole accepting act your playing. The only issue now is that I'm pretty sure your higher ups know far more then I want them too."

"What makes you think the princesses know more about you." Hammer asked with growing confusion. "I read that one chapter on humans from one of these books and any human coulda easily see thatl is was a loud of bull crap. I can confirm its almost all false thanks to knowing my own human history and my recent encounter with a well train civilization of 'Human' zombies."

"Come to think of it, I can't believe I haven't questioned the whole zombie thing yet. I guess I've just played to many videogames to question it with the common explanation that that's how it was designed but this is what I can only assume in reality. Sure, its an alternate reality but that doesn't mean I can't question them to full extent. Of course my new realization that these questions have a chance of being answered for me only makes me want to ask more questions, which I will probably do in my head if that makes you feel any better."

"Say, am I talking too much?" I finished whilst staring at the ever so confused pony. There was a nice hint of curiosity in her eyes which pleased me. Rarely do I get a chance to fully explain something scientific and have a listener and if things kept going this way I might just get the chance as long as I don't make so many loose ends to my theories that it become close to impossible to explain without the listener needed a pen and paper to remember anything I say.

Its kinda funny in that regard, I can remember almost everything I say during a theory, when I gave a hard time remember what I was doing five minutes before hand and I could literally talk about on thing and continue thinking of further matters at the say time. Makes it almost impossible to beat me in an argument unless I'm arguing with my mom or brother who are as stubborn about arguing as I am. With them it always tends to turn into a stand still as both parties start repeating what they same instead of thinking of ways to debunk the others argument but with anyone lacking this trait is an easy win for someone  like me.

After realizing my mind had just drifted of faster than you can say quick time event I turned my attention back to Hammer and hoped I had only been thinking for a few seconds. To my luck she was only just beginning to answer. "No, you're not talking too much but its really hard to understand you. You're like Pinkie Pie but the things I you say that I can understand seem to make a lot more.... Sense." Hammer replied. I was happy to hear some useful critique instead of the normal *OMG you make no sense* or *Just shut up* that people sent my way.

"You know Hammer, I like you far more than I should, you've given me a great first impression and I thank you for that." I said pridefully. Ponies not being jerks has its upsides though the more and more friendly I get, the bigger certain problems can arise. Lets just say that I can be quite insulting to the people I befriend so there never seems to be a lack of sarcasm and the word dumb ass but that fact the ponies don't act the same way might help me learn to stop.

"Your welcome?" Hammer replied still holding a subsided hint of confusion. She was starting to get a bit restless to say the least. "You want me to let go now?" I asked. "Yes please." Hammer replied with a smile. It was rather cute which surprised me.

I painfully moved my arms so I could release my prisoner which only reminded me that I felt like crap. Hammer stretched and sat down next to me. "Whats with you ponies and sitting next to me?" I asked half serious and half joking. It seemed that the group of ponies with kept coming in contact with me were growing which is not something I'm used to even if they are ponies.

"You're comfy." Hammer replied bluntly. I guess I was excepting some odd remark but that works too. "So apparently I've become the walking pony chair, wonderful." I said with a great deal sarcasm. Hammer giggled slightly and closed her eyes. "Something tells me you're tired." I said cheerfully hiding the fact I was tired too. We just sat there for awhile without talking which did bum me out a little but the reason why we were waiting cheered me up enough not to care.

I joined in on the whole close your eyes thing and soon found myself falling asleep. Its a pretty weird feeling sometimes in which you can slowly feel your body slowing down and I felt some cold pulses going down my body. Really, I have no idea why it happens like that but its only when I'm really tired.

This time though, things started to get weird. As I started to lose conscious I apparently start to gain it. Yes it sounds weird but bare with me. I saw images come and go before ultimately seeing a big black nothingness. I opened my eyes and found myself in the ever so familiar blue world. "Hmmm, this doesn't seem right." I thought as I looked around me.

The Will o' wisps were slowly floating around lighting up the cave swamp. I still don't understand how that works but I had so much that needed to be understood that it would be better to save it for later. The area actually look pretty nice. It made me wish the was more than a blue color visible. Plants covered most of the cave and the air was thick and moist. A little hot for my taste but not anything I couldn't deal with.

"Why is it ever time I fall asleep I end up here?" I asked myself. Doing what any sane person would do in this situation, I decided the best idea would be look around. There were multiple paths I could take so I start what was becoming the annoying process of choose where to go.

Logic told me to find away out of the cave, if there even was one but general curiosity and the fear of the unknown told me not to go far. I decided to ignore my fears and let logic do its work though come to think of it I doubt it was any form of logic and I really just wanted to get moving.

I decided to go through a nice little tunnel leading to who knows where. As I walked I started my average thinking routine as I tried to make sense of everything. What was really throwing me off was how real the dream felt. I could touch a stone and it would feel cold and I felt somewhat soar. My dreams never involved any senses other than sight and hearing so to change and make me feel everything you would in real life was very noticeable.

"What in the world is going on in my head...?" I pondered. Nothing I thought could explain my situation. It was like I was in a completely different world. "You know what, I'm getting sick of all the random events that keep happening, after this whole dragon thing is over I'm going to find a nice place to settle down and let a find some mental peace. I've spent way to much time just trying to explain things or test myself instead of doing any real kind of relaxing. When I wake up I'm going to answer those questions and then play a board game or something." I thought.

I stopped for a moment and took a deep breath. The air had gotta much colder and dryer which I assumed was a good thing.  I hadn't been walking for very long but It felt like I had been walking for hours. I sat down and stared at the top of the cave. "Now I physically and mental exhausted... Wasn't sleep supposed to get rid of that and not make it worse?" I said and I closed my eyes.

I just sat there for a moment before starting to fall asleep for the second time. "I swear, if I get a dream within a dream I'm going to kill someone, then ask for a movie to be written about it." I thought as everything blacked out.

I was awoken by the sound of many voices entering the room. "At least I had a somewhat nice nap before hand." I mumbled as I opened my eyes. What I saw next surprised me. "Holy shit that's a lot of ponies!" I said trying to keep myself from yelling. Entering the room was a large group of ponies that could easily fill up half the room. "You know, I probably should have thought this through just a tad bit more." I thought which turned out to be rather funny considering I tend to over think things a lot.

"Oh well, time to solve all my problems through copious amounts of talking and explaining, this should be a piece of cake." As I thought that I felt a scary feeling come over me as I said the word cake. "I should probably stop referring to such things."

I got up and prepared to stretch. What could be considered an awkward moment arose as I began the welcoming yet painful process of stretching.

The room fell silent and I the ponies noticed me beginning my stretch. My trademark stretching growl sounded, scaring some of the ponies. As I lowered my arms I noticed the multiple looks of fear or awe. I got the new achievement *Pokerface* as I sat back down. What made the situation funny for me was that I almost sat down on Hammer apparently had fallen asleep.  

"heh... wha?" Hammer said as I shook her awake. "Quickly Hammer! Your people need you!!" I said. She bounced up and looked around confused. "False alarm." I said jokingly. Hammer gave me an anger look though it was easy to tell that she had no idea what she was anger about. Twilight pushed her way to the front of the crowd o' ponies. "What was that all about?" She asked as if I had offended her.

"Well, instead of waking her up in a normal fashion, I decided the best way would be to screw with you mind. That way shes sure to wake up. Like a bucket of water but just words." I replied. The only reason I did it was because of lol but that tends to be rather hard to explain to others.

"Speaking of which, Twilight, how did you manage to get this many ponies to come to a library just to ask question?" I asked with the seriousness of a tree. In case you didn't know, trees are very serious plants and do not spend there time making jokes or having fun.

Twilight was just about to answer but then I realized just how stupid of a question that was. "Sorry, ignore that last question." I said correcting myself. "Here's a better question: Wouldn't it be better if I had like a better spot to do the talkin, so that everyone can see me and I can see every pony without issue."

Twilight thought for a moment and once more began to say something, only to be cut off by a ever so memorable pony. "You can use the mayor's stand." The lovable Lyra said as she made her way to the front of what looked like a growing crowd. I was more than happy to see her and she seemed just as happy to see me. She ran up to me and tackled me. "Thats what you get for taking my bag!" She said with a smile.

"Speaking of bags that have been stolen, here's your bag." I said remembering I still had it on me. It was then that I noticed I still had the zombie daggers and belt though they looked different for some odd reason. I felt kind of awkward after realizing I had brought weapons designed with the soul purpose of killing into a town full of peaceful little ponies.

After doing the necessary battle with Lyra I managed to get up. Once more the group of ponies that didn't know me took some steps back. "Oh come on, I doubt I'm that scary." I said calmly trying to slowly turn the mood to my favor. The ponies looked back and forth between each others with a nervous look on there face. I did everything I could to resist an incoming facepalm and forced myself not to get irritated.

There was a moment of silence as no pony seemed to know what to do next. "Up and at em ponies, last I remember you had some questions and I have some answers." I said trying to break the ice. The ponies still just stood there. "Chop chop everyone, its not like I'm gonna find that soapbox on my own." I continued.

Things started to get really awkward now so I did what needed to be done. I facepalmed and turned to Lyra who was trying to keep from laughing at my failed attempts to get the pony crowd moving. "Lyra, could you show me were this stand is?" I asked with a sigh. "Okie dokie." Lyra replied with a snicker.  

The ponies moved out of the way as if I was parting the red sea. It was kinda funny but I didn't like to see a bunch of ponies look at me with scared or nervous eyes, make me feel pretty uneasy. What made feel better was when Longtrot popped out of the crowd with a little grin on her face. As Lyra and I made our way out of the library the pony crowd slowly followed.

"At least you have some familiar traits." I said talking to no one in specific. The idea of the ponies putting a bland fear over curiosity would have hurt my little heart so to see them reluctantly follow me and Lyra made me proud.

I had to be a very odd sight for on lookers though. A large crowd of ponies following an odd two legged, dagger baring creature with a multitude of looks in its face as it continued to think must have been the last thing they had excepted but most of the ponies just looked at it and went back to business.

After a very short time I saw what looked like our destination and prepared to come up with possible answers for question I might get. I could probably come up with something on the spot but you never know, they might start asking math questions. Then I'd be screwed. If only I had a calculator, a math book and a distraction, then I be prepared for anything.

It seemed that during my random thought attack I had managed to walk up to and on the stand without even realizing I had done so. "How did I get up here?" I asked myself only to get yet another confused look from Lyra. I swear if I had always acted this weird, I might actually think that that was the way people/ponies normally looked. Speaking of which I surprised how much human expressions and trans-dimensional ponies facial expressions look a like. Its kinda creepy if you ask me, which you didn't because technically I'm thinking to myself right now and not a large audience of people who have been waiting 2 weeks for me to think so.

I walked up to the area of the stand in which I would be answering the stream of questions. What struck me as odd was the fact the stand thingy had a microphone with no visible cord attached to it. "Logic, this world has none of it." I thought as I looked to the crowd.

"Oh well, time to break some minds and over think things until I have the answer to life, the universe and everything else. After I've done that I shall compare it to 42 and we shall see who is truly correct, mister calculator." I thought before clearing my throat. "Now, shall we begin?"




[Worthless cliffhanger? Yes!! Do I care? NO!! Finally after about 2 or 3 weeks I have completed a new chapter though it lacks any form of structure, how wonderful. Now you'd think vacation would help me get chapters out and it does but little brothers do not so that's my excuse to being late as hell. To make up for it I have completely changed my sleeping schedule just so I can get the alone time I need to get it down on the computer. This doesn't tell me how fast I will be able to pump out chapters but at least I get it done and not just keep it all on paper. Thanks for reading and I hope you are looking forward to more though I do wonder if you have completely forgotten about this little FIMfic that I have come to love oh so dearly.]
