What is your most precious memory?

Is it the time you graduated, your first sexual experience, your first kiss, your first date, or is it something else entirely? For me, that would be the first time I truly lost myself in my own music. I played for six hours and it was the greatest moment of my life, for it was the first time I got to play what I wanted to. I want you to join me on a journey; a journey that dictates my ever changing life in the wonderful world of Equestria. Before I simply start telling the story, allow me to set a back drop to it, a little knowledge to go along with the story. This is my story.

2009 was a year that will forever be known as the single most important event to happen to us: first contact. A strange, almost magical moment. The world rumbled at what was hailed as some as the end of everything. In a way, they were right. It was the end of us being alone as the sole sentient species we knew of. Strange disturbances had appeared in various areas all over the world in early spring. Places like the USA and the UK had an abnormally large number for reasons barely understood now. Something about closeness of dimensions.

At first these disturbances looked like troubled water, and even then the affects were barely visible. Over the course of three months they appeared in many different places. So called prophets said the messiah was coming, or that God had decided we were too sinful and had to be destroyed. You know, the usual paranoia when strange events beyond our control happen. Then things got weird, they started to change.

The distortions started to become more real, and clearer. Every once in a while people would claim that they actually heard voices coming from them. Some recordings even existed, until government agencies said otherwise anyway. Over the course of the next few months you could begin to interact with them, as if something big was going to happen. During one news broadcast it was confirmed: something that could speak was beyond these distortions. Several people tried to interfere with these distortions, none were successful.

One day - I remember it was a Sunday at precisely 3:15 pm EST - it happened: the distortions collapsed. They became portals. It was an odd experience to witness such a thing. I was playing some small time gig at some little café. The owner was nice enough. He wanted live entertainment for his customers so he always hired someone to play some instrument or what not. I was able to do quite a bit, but that doesn't matter at this time. At that precise time, a large quake hit. Something was happening.

We were all ordered to vacate the building as it was possible for it to collapse from the shaking. We all emptied out and witnessed a glow coming from the portal of our little town. The rumble reached a crescendo with golden light pouring through the distortion. Some lunatic yelled that this was divine retribution for the infidels or something. What came was not the end of the world, but the ending of our era. The ponies had arrived. There is only one awkward part of this story, the beings that came through the portal were indeed human-like, but they also possessed equine-like features. They called themselves 'ponies'.

Their leaders, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna soon introduced themselves to us. After proving they were not a threat, the world looked on in awe at what had happened. Twenty three of the distortions condensed into portals to their world. Five were in the US, three were in Britain , two each in Germany, Russia and France. The rest were in various locations throughout the world. It was theorized that eventually the portals would collapse, but the princesses allowed several humans to come to their world and several ponies to leave if they so wished. However, they would always have to be wary of whether or not they wanted to return to their world or not should the time come and the portals collapse back into stable space.

I, having been brought up to be a player of various musical pieces for my profession, decided to travel to their world to try and further my career in what I loved. I once was a growing musician of fame and fortune in the world, I even had an amazingly beautiful girlfriend. I won't go into details about her, the wounds are still healing from that one. Approximately 5,000 humans, male and female each, got permission and traversed the portal to move to their world. Specifically the country the ponies called home, Equestria. The princesses reserved the right to know why each human was moving to Equestria and met with each of them personally. Originally over 20,000 humans had wanted to move, but most were denied. I was one of the lucky ones, I was seen as a person who would get along well with Equestrian society. I expressed some of their greatest virtues, despite my past. I had traveled to this magical land and was ready to make a living using my talents. I quickly found a job doing almost the exact same thing at the exact same pay per hour (after conversions) as playing for that man at the café. The differences that made it worth it were longer hours and the fact that I played less then what I used to. I even managed to get to know some rather high level ponies in this world.

It does, however, never get old about how similar we look physically. To put it simply, these ponies are sexy creatures. The princesses are definitely some of the most beautiful though. I remember my first time seeing them. Princess Celestia, with her her flowing... mane they call it, that held the colors of a beautiful dawn. Her modest, pure white silken dress with gold around the edges and in various shapes throughout. Her chest by the way is lovely to look at. She stands at about 5'8" tall. Her little sister, Princess Luna, is nothing to laugh at either. At 5'4 exactly she has a mane resembling the night sky in all its beauty and, though shorter than her sister, that isn't a bad thing. She may have had a smaller chest than her older sister, but she wore a lovely low-cut black dress which hugged her figure like a glove stopping just above her knee. If it had been a little shorter I am sure people would have tripped to get a look to see if she had panties or not.

Needless to say, they could tell the affect they had on men and women alike, and they weren't too keen on the few that attempted to court them during these meetings. Those that did usually did not make it through. The exceptions were those that admired their figures for non-sexual reasons. I was interviewed by Princess Luna. She had me play a piece from a selection of instruments to prove that I was as good as I claimed (I am usually humble but humble would get me sent back). I passed with flying colors. However I learned that she was good at getting a rise out of men. Let's just say she has played in some rather... vivid fantasies and dreams of mine for a few days after. This actually scared me since I had heard she could watch and, should she choose, interact with us in our dreams.

I would wake up horny and terrified. Still, she is hot... a different species but hot. Approximately a year after my arrival I got the opportunity of a lifetime. I had been playing at this little club for the past 5 months. They had hired me to play for the late morning - early afternoon crowd with a group that had plenty of experience. We had our share of big names coming through (even Princess Luna at some times, but whether these were coincidences or not I do not know). However it was the face I did not recognize that would give me my biggest break. Perhaps though, I should inform you about myself a little more. I am an average looking human (as far as I am concerned). I have black hair, brown eyes, I am 5'11" tall. My name is Samson Broquer. Don't call me Sammy, I hate being called Sammy. As for my name, I had my last name changed after I was on my own. I wanted to make a name for myself without relying on my parents for help, or more accurately, without their hindrance. I won't go into details on that one.

Back to the story, I had just finished putting away the piano and had just put my violin and electric guitar away when I was approached by a certain stallion named Frederic. He represented the Canterlot Royal Orchestra and had extended a private invitation to audition to become a member of the orchestra. Apparently, when a member decides to retire they look up all the rising talents in the instrument to fill out their numbers. I had been watched by three separate judges who all attested to my skill with the piano, and as the former player himself had asked to deliver the invitation himself should he approve of the one with the skills selected to be judged. I was the fifth - and final - member to have been asked to play.

I got clearance from the boss to take a few days off to prepare and participate in the audition. At first, I was confident, and as always, I got more nervous as time went on. I loved to play music, but I preferred my violin to the piano. Electric guitar was a distant third, but still enjoyable to play every now and again. I just hoped that my skill won't be dulled or tarnished by my lack of classical practice.

Finally, the day arrived. It was time to audition for a place in an orchestra that had been around for more than 500 years. I arrived twenty minutes early for the audition, just as planned. I saw that there was a security guard had been stationed outside to be sure only those selected could enter. After showing my invitation, I was allowed in.

"Well, here I go."

Author's Notes:

There is no MLP in this universe as that would basically shatter this universe. This is also a concept chapter to help get an understanding of certain events in the story. Hope you enjoy this as it updates! (PS, Princess Luna is best princess pony)
