// Story: I Hate Being In Equestria 
// by ImNoPony 
//------------------------------//

I usually get woken up by an annoying alarm clock in the morning, buzzing into my ear until I shut it up. But I often hit the snooze button to get 10 more minutes of sleep. Even though my alarm clock was gone, something similar still happened.
Out in the fresh morning air, a family of birds was chirping away in a tree that was out side my room. They were so loud, they pulled my away my slumber. However, with the warm sun sunlight hitting me along with a comfy bed and blanket, I just had to have a few more minutes of rest. However, I still get rudely woken up when I felt my legs being stabbed by a series of needles.

"OW!" I yelled when I shot up from my bed.

When I look around in anger to see who stabbed me, I spotted a big, white, fluffy cat who was just as un-happy as I was. It first, I wondered: "Wait a minute, I no longer have cat? I have to gave mine away to my family when I got my own place." But when I looked around the room and recognized the cat, I soon remembered where I am... and what I now become. In fact, I found that I forgotten most what I did yesterday and almost go into a panic. I was lucky that I remembered to breath deeply and avoid that situation.
I then spotted my clothes that were by the bed and need to quickly put them on before anybody could see me. After a struggle to put them on, the only things that were left in the room was the fancy décor, a messy bed and the cat. I remembered my mother yelling me to always keep the bed tidy, especially if it's somebody else's. After I fix it up though, Opalescence then made the bed her's and I honestly found that a little bit annoying.

Afterwards, I made my way downstairs and try to find the kitchen. Once I found it, I also saw Rarity who was also cooking something. When she spotted me, she greeted me and says:

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, well... it was really good. Until your cat woke me up."

"Oh! Sorry about Opalescence dear. She can sometimes be a handful, but she's still really sweet."

Honestly, I don't care how much she would compliment it, but I still hate that damn cat. I can understand why most bronies hate Angel because he more then often acts like an asshole, but I prefer him then Opal. Why? Because while both of them act ungrateful to their owners, Angel had more instances where he was more kind and helpful. Opal is just a spoiled cat.

"Yeah, well... whatever." I replied. But then I asked "Hey! What are you cooking?"

Rarity replied: "Oh! I'm just cooking pancakes for all of us."

"Wait!? All of us? Even me?"

"Of course! I'm assuming that you must be hungry. Am I right?"

Before I could have a chance to deny that, my stomach began growling like a cat. When I got caught, Rarity looked away from the pancakes for a second to gave me a smirk. I begrudgingly replied: "Yeah! Yeah! I'm hungry." But when I pulled out a chair, I told her: "But I often have my breakfast with buttered toast."

She unfortunately replied: "Sorry. We are out of bread. I hope you like pancakes though."

I groaned and made sure not to be load enough for Rarity to hear it. I had pancakes before and had enough for me to think they are ok, but I much preferred buttered toast as my usual breakfast. However, I replied: "Um... ok, I'll have them."

But once I sat down on my seat, an angelic little voice rang out from behind me and from the doorway.
"*Yawn* Good morning Rarity" greeted Sweetie Belle who was entering the kitchen.

When I turned around to see who it was, we both froze when we saw one another. We just gave unexpected and surprised looks at each other. I think Sweetie was slowly remembering me from last night, but she still shoot a blank and surprised look at me. It was getting a bit creepy. All I could do was hesitantly replied "Good morning" back at her. And when she just waved in return, it made the scene even more awkward.

Eventually, Sweetie began walking up to the table. At first, I thought I was sitting in her seat. But she took the chair beside me. When she sat down, she says to me: "Hello... My name is Sweetie Belle."

"Hi... Um... *Awkward Sigh* My name is Hate."

"Hate!?"

"*Sigh* Yes, I know my name doesn't sound all that great."

"No, No, No. I wasn't about to say anything."

"It's alright. Lets... Lets not talk about it."

We both shut up for a bit as we were like having a contest to see who can make this scene the most awkward. And if that was the case, Sweetie took the cake when she asked:

"So... Do you have something to do with my sister?"

I became completely red when she asked me that question. I replied: "WHAT! No! I mean... yes. Sort of. Your sister is just helping me with something important. Wh... Why do you ask?"

But then, as fate want to be an even more dick to me, Rarity yelled out: "Breakfast Is Ready!" and began levitating the pancakes. How is fate being a dick to me? Because when she turned around, she reveals that she was wearing a gem-encrusted apron. She then gave to me my pancakes and pour to me a glass of juice with a smile.

I am starting to see this scene and all of the unfortunate implications. Trying to dispel any misconceptions, I asked loudly at Rarity: "Rarity! Why are you wearing that!"

When she replied that I mean her apron, she replied: "Oh This! It's nothing special. Just something I made for my new fashion line."

I wondered what it's called? "House Wife Chic?" When I looked at Sweetie Belle, she just looks away from us. She probably thinks there is still something going on between us. When Rarity looked away as she was taking off her apron, I whispered into Sweetie's ear:
"There is NOTHING going on between us. We are just friends."

"OK" she replied but she probably didn't believe me.

Once Rarity sat down with the rest of us, we all began having our breakfast... sort of. I was a little hesitant at first because I didn't know how to pick up a knife and fork with HOOVES. When looked at the girls and see how they are eating, I saw that they were using their magic to eat their pancakes, even Sweetie Belle. I was left stumped on how I can eat this food.

When Sweetie spotted me not eating, she asked: "Are you ok?"

This even caught the attention of Rarity and so both of them were looking at my direction. Their gazes left me embarrassed as I was trying to quickly come up with a solution to fix this situation. But then, I was thinking how am I gunna use my hooves, a realization dawned on me. "I'm a horse so how does the horses in the show eat their food?" So, I dipped my head down and just took a bit with my teeth. When I stick my head back up and the pancake was still hanging from my mouth, I just pulled it into my mouth and just chew it. It wasn't all that hard and was quite effective.

Rarity looked quite impressed to how I ate, considering that she knows that I'm not use to being a pony. However, Sweetie Belle was left confused by how I was eating.

She asked: "Um... Why are you not using your horn?"

"What!?"

"You know, with your magic."

I quickly lied: "Oh! Um...I don't really need to use my magic. Why even bother using magic where you and other ponies can eat things without it."

Sweetie belle took my lie and looks like that she agreed with my statement. In fact, maybe a bit too much in fact. After she brought into my lie, she began eating her pancakes without the use of her magic. Afterwards, all three of began enjoying our meal.

Once we all finished out pancakes, the only thing we had left was the juice. However, juice is the one thing that I am not going to have. As she was in the middle of having her drink, I passed Sweetie Belle mine and told her: "Here. You can have it."

Sweetie looked surprised and then happy that she was getting another drink. Rarity on the other hand looked more worried then surprised. "Are you not going to have it?" Rarity asked.

I got up from my seat and replied: "Sorry, but I don't really like juice."

Still wanting me to have a drink, Rarity told me: "Well, there are other drinks in the fridge if you want something else instead."

Curious, I made my way to fridge to see what's inside. When I opened the door, I found an assortment of fruit and veg', chocolate, ice cream, lemonade, apple cider tucked away in the top corner and milk. Still haven't gotten over from choosing milk, I see how much milk they had left. There wasn't a lot in the carton, but it still smells fresh and was still really cold.
But as was about to take a sip, I felt like the milk carton was being pulled away from me and there was no one else touching it. When I spotted the magical aura around the milk, I turned around to see Rarity who was using her magic and didn't look too happy.

"Don't Drink It Right Out Of The Carton!" Rarity yelled. She then grabbed an empty glass with her magic and pour the milk into that. She then handed me it and just told me: "Here!"

After Rarity calmed down and I got over her intimidation, I finally had a sip of that milk... and it was great. And once I found out it was great, I began savouring all the delicious taste in my mouth. I don't often say this to anybody, but milk is my favourite drink.

Once I was finished and places my empty glass in the empty sink, I told Rarity: "Thank you... and sorry."

She replied: "Just don't let me catch you doing it again." She then says to me as she checked a nearby clock: "And I do think it is the best time to meet up with the others, not unless you don't want your problem to be fixed."

"Oh right! I really don't want that" I replied.

As me and Rarity was leaving the kitchen, Rarity told Sweetie Belle who was still at the table: "We'll be going out Sweetie Belle. If you decide to go out and have fun with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, remember to lock up."

"Yeah, I know" replied Sweetie acts like she was annoyed by hearing those words. Maybe Rarity told her enough times for her to be tired of it.

But after we left the kitchen, I stick my head back into the room to tell her: "Don't worry. I know what it's like." Sweetie then replied to me with a smile before I had to catch up to Rarity. After we left the boutique and began making our way to Princess Twilight, I could help but to look back and try to see if I can spot Sweetie in the windows. I didn't, but I did turn around and tell Rarity: "You have a good kid."

"Thank you" she replied before we happily travel to Twilight's castle.

As we were walking through Ponyvile, I began noticing that it feels sort of different. Yesterday, it felt overwhelmed by the peaceful and harmonic nature of the setting and it's citizens. Today, I don't feel as strong as a fib as I did yesterday. It was almost as I was getting use to it. It felt like the longer that I stay in this world, less eager I am that I want to leave. That frightens me to my very core with my only solace being that it still feels funny walking on four legs. When Rarity noticed that I wasn't feeling ok, she try to look a me with a worried look. However, I silently reaffirmed myself and began walking slightly faster. I guess Rarity detected how much I wanted to return home and also picked up the pace.

Eventually we arrived on the castle's door step. I looked up and see how intimidatingly high the door was. And yet, Rarity doesn't look all that bothered by it. I know that this was her town and she must have gotten use to it, but I feel that she should feel a little bit uncomfortable by it.

"Here we are" she happily proclaims.

I know who Twilight Sparkle is and how likely she would help me, but I need something to help reassure me and makes me a bit more comfortable. And so, I have to pretend that I am a little sceptical about this.

"Here! This is where your friends lives?"

"Yep."

"And she is a princess?"

"Yep."

"And you're sure she would help me?"

"Of course darling. Twilight would never turn away a helpless pony without at least giving a helpful start."

"Yeah... but I'm not really a pony, remember?"

"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to..."

"That's alright. I was messing with you."

She replied: "Oh!" before going into a charming chuckle.

But then, while she was laughing, the doors just suddenly opened. Rarity didn't look all to surprised while I was caught off guard. The door didn't looked to heavy enough to be opened by just ourselves, but we didn't lift a finger... or hoof. No one was on the other side and I find it hard to imagined a castle made out of crystal that came from a magical box would include automatic doors or something.

I hesitantly asked: "How did that just opened?"

Rarity stopped chuckling and says to me: "The doors just opened by themselves."

I replied: "Ok... But don't you need some sort of build in mechanism? Like a pressure pad or gears or something?"

Rarity gave me a confused look because she probably didn't knew what I was on about. But she just loughs it off and says to me: "Oh... everything here is done by magic. The castle just knows where there are guests at the door and opens it for them."

The way that Rarity described it to me made it sounds like the castle was alive. That made it felt a little bit creepy when we entered the castle. It also didn't help when the door shut behind me. When Rarity saw my frighten appearance, she made a grin that made me want to slap it way. I calmed down and said to her:

"I've Seen Doors Opening And Closing By Themselves Before!... just not by magic."

Rarity just shook her head and began guiding me deeper into the castle. As we were walking, I took my chance to see what the castle looked on the inside. I will admit that the castle sticks out like a sour when compared to the other buildings in Ponyvile. One the inside... I would have to say that it looks nice. The floor is clean, the drapes or whatever is hanging on the walls looks ok and the colours isn't that half bad as they blend together.

But then, as we were walking down a hallway, a loud voice yelled out to greet us and sounds like it was coming in front of us. However, I found it more surprising because I recognized the voice and the voice was talking to Rarity specifically.

"Good Morning Rarity" says the voice that sounded so cheerful and excited. The voice sounded male, but it was more like it was from a small child. "What um... What brings you here today?"

As I was about to remember who the voice came from, Rarity quickly replied: "Good morning Spike. I got a guest here who needs might need some help from Twilight."

"Guest!" Spike responded surprisingly.

At first, I couldn't see where Spike was at. However, I was standing right behind Rarity so she must be obstructing my view from him. When I look around her, I could see a very surprised looking Spike. He was looking at me with a daze, almost as if he didn't expected. I was also left speechless as it was the first time seeing him in person. We looked at each and didn't know what to think about each other. That is until interrupting us staring to ask Spike:

"Where is Twilight by the way?"

Snapping back to reality, Spike replied to the pony he has a crush on: "Oh! Um... Twilight should be in the map chamber."

"Alright then" she replied before moving along down the hallway. Me and Spike continued looking at each other in confusion until Rarity yelled at us: "Are you coming along boys?"

"Coming!" we replied in unison and was surprised when he did. We both eventually cached up to Rarity.

While me and Spike was walking behind Rarity down the hall, I saw Spike giving me suspicious looks. It was almost as if he thinks I was trying to take Rarity's affection away from him. I thinking in my head: "Oh great. I have one person thinking I'm with Rarity. I can't have another who thinks that." I figured that I need to relieve some tension between me and Spike.
Right now, I am finding him the most relatable. Not only because he is the first male person that I met, but I also remember the episode where everyone like to pick on him for being a little bit girls. And honestly......... I know how that is like.

However, I know what are the right button to push to get him into a good. "So... You're a dragon, right?"

"What" Spike responded when I caught him off guard. When he realized what I said, he began acting like he was cool and replied: "Yeah, I'm a dragon alright. What of it?"

"Really!... Like the ones that can breath fire?"

"Yeah. I can also can send messages with my fire."

"Cool... I never heard a dragon doing that before."

What I said brought a smile on Spike's face and I could not feel any tension or agitation from him anymore. For now, we are managing to get along.

When we finally entered the chamber with the round table and that map thing at the centre, I was surprised when I see the huge tree roots hanging from the ceiling. I was caught by surprised because I never remember seeing that before. I was like: "When did they put that up there?" I was completely baffled to why it was up there.

But then I spotted Twilight who was busy looking at that map. As a pleasant surprise, Rarity yelled: "Good morning Twilight" to her.

Twilight was caught by surprised but didn't mind it. Twilight turn around and replied: "Good morning Rarity. What did you..." But then, she spotted me and Twilight said instead: "... And who do we have here?" I felt a little worried because Twilight didn't sound as surprised as she should have been.

Rarity was quick to explain: "I found this... pony here yesterday and says he need our help." At first, I was ok with that explanation. But then Rarity added: "And I think this is the person which the map wanted us to find."

It took me a second to realized what she said. But when I did, I jump away from Rarity and yelled: "Wait! WHAT!" They were caught by surprise as much as I was to them.
As I slowly walk away from them, I was thinking: "How did they knew I was here? Were they the one who brought me? No, they wouldn't do that." But then I remembered the movie Space Jam and thought: "Main characters from a TV show brought someone from the real world to do something." When I think of it like that, I doesn't sound too far fetch. But I try my best to still give them the benefit of the doubt.

Once I backed up to the wall, Rarity and Twilight (plus Spike) could see how frighten I was. Twilight whispered something in Rarity's ear. I couldn't hear what it was, but I'm assuming she was wondering why I looked so surprised and frighten. Once Rarity whispered a few things back to Twilight, Twilight try to be as calm as she can be and says to me:
"Look... I know this may sound weird, but we would like to show you something."

After a few deep breaths to calm myself down, I replied to them: "Yeah, ok. Sorry, I... don't think that you might be..." I stumble because I didn't know what to say. I want to tell them that I know they won't do anything bad. I just didn't know how to put it.

However, Twilight made a face that sort of tells me that she knows what I was trying to say. She says to me: "Just come over here."

I walked over to them slowly and try to shake off any doubts in my head. They show me the map that shows the rest of Equestria. I was slightly amazed a little bit because I didn't know what looking at a 3D map would be like. But the thing that caught my attention was the Mane 6 cutie marks rotating around the spot that shows Ponyvile. As I became intrigued by that spot, Twilight explains to me:

"You see, I am the princess of friendship and my job is to help spread friendship across Equestria. Whenever there is a friendship problem, or a major problem in general, this map shows to me where it is. Yesterday, this map points out to me that there is a problem here in Ponyvile..."

As soon as she said that, a spark went off in my head and I yell to her: "Wait... Yesterday!" As the gears began turning in my head, I soon realized what this map was telling them. "...... This Map Detected Me!"

Twilight was impressed that I figure it out so quickly. "Yes" she replied. "We think this map wanted us to find you."

Still very surprised and still looking at the map, I told them: "Well you are correct because I am not from this world." Twilight became slightly startled when I told her that. When I saw how shocked she looked, I turned to her and says: "Look, let me explain from the beginning."

But as I was about to explain everything, the door to the room banged open and Rainbow Dash came flying in. "Well Twilight, we looked all over Ponyvile but we didn't see anything suspicious which the map pointed out." Rainbow told Twilight as she was flying over us. As I look and see what was going on, I also soon spotted Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie who was walking in.

And then, when Rainbow spotted me, she landed right beside me and asked: "Hey, who are you?" nonchalantly.

"I'm that suspicious thing which the map pointed out" I hesitantly replied.

Rainbow jumped into the air and yelled: "What! You Guys Found It Before Me!"

Applejack pulled Rainbow Dash from the air and told her: "Calm down Rainbow Dash. Who cares who's the first pony to find him?"

"Well I care Applejack" she rebutted.

And then, when Fluttershy saw me, she yelled out: "Hey! I Know You!" When I look at Fluttershy, she says: "We met yesterday at the park." I haven't forgotten that and I remembered the things that she said to me. When I she looked so happy seeing me, I simply waved to her.

But then Pinkie got in-between us and said out loud: "Hey! I Remember Seeing You Too!"

"Wait! You Did!" I replied as I couldn't remember speaking to her.

She explains: "yeah, I saw you at Sugar Cube Corner yesterday. When I spotted you though, you decided to run of somewhere."

I asked: "Wait. If you saw me, why didn't you come after me?"

Pinkie replied: "Well... you seemed like you were busy and I am trying to be a bit more slower when making new friends."

I was left speechless by the answer that she gave me. But then I started thinking: "Wait, wouldn't she be suspicious to why I would expect her to come after me? But wait, she was meant to find me because of the map. No wait, she didn't... No... She..." I soon became confused by my own thoughts. I was only snapped out of it when I heard Rainbow Dash talking to Twilight.

Rainbow enquired: "So... Have we figured out what the problem is yet?"

Twilight replied: "Yeah. He says that he came from another world."

Everyone aside from Rarity and Spike became surprised when they heard that. But Rainbow was the first one to suggest: "Wait, do you think he came from the world you been to Twilight?"

Rarity was the one who told her: "He said that he had hands in the world he came from."

"Cool!" Pinkie yelled happily.

"But wait Twilight" AJ interrupted. "You have the only portal that connects to there. How did he get here?"

Rarity explains: "I think I remembered he said that he came not by his own volition."

"Oh My!" muttered Fluttershy who sounded upset. "I remember yesterday that he didn't look all too happy being here."

As the girls was having their conversation about me, I was standing alone in a corner and realizing that I was having a problem. Being filled in a room with girls, girls that I recognize from a TV show, made my heart beating faster and faster. With every beat, I felt that my energy was draining away and notice my breathing becoming a bit irregular. This felt like that times where I was becoming out of breath during P.E and feel my heart pounding in my chest. To help remedy it, I try to get a hold of my breathing and began hitting my chest.

As it was slowly working, I was surprised by Pinkie when she appeared right beside me and asked: "Why are you hitting your chest?"

While still with a shaking voice, I slowly explains to her slowly: "I am trying to tell my heart to slow down because it is going to fast."

At first, Pinkie didn't know what I meant and thought I said something funny. However, Applejack got her attention and told her: "Pinkie, this is probably all too much for him. Let give him time"

And then everyone stood there and watch me, waiting for me to get a hold of myself. It was no doubt creepy, but it didn't stop my heart from slowing down. Everybody became glad once they see that I was calmed down. After I composed myself, I told them: "Ok, Let me try to explain everything from the beginning... again. I'm..."
