In the previous episode, the main character Mad Scientist managed to teleport to Equestria in search of his/her contact Twilight Sparkle. He/she successfully snuck into Canterlot Castle and found Twilight. After being the first human to make contact with ponies, he/she is given the chance to stay for a night. The offer is accepted, and Mad Scientist falls asleep.
You wake up. Faint sun rays crack in through the purple curtains as you lie on the awfully comfy bed. It's morning in Equestria. You still feel tired, as you didn't sleep to well because of the excitement of the day. You feel sore from the rock climbing you did to get here.
What do you do?
1. Go back to sleep. You need more rest. *yawn*
2. Get out your phone in play games. You need to de-stress, after all!
3. Sneak out, despite your soreness
[3 is chosen]
You rub your eyes and get out of your bed. You hear birds chirping outside. As you get dressed up, you think about the day before. "Finally...the first human to make contact with ponies..."
After some thought, you decide to sneak out of the building because...
1. You're eager to explore Canterlot and see pony society
2. You want to teleport back to your lab (record observations, bring technology from Earth to Equestria, etc.)
3. You feel bored
[1 is chosen]
You look out the window to see the early bird Canterlot ponies in streets.
You: "Wow... I've dreamed of being here..."
All geared up, you slowly creak open the door and peak your head out. Nopony in sight.
You step out and tip-toe your way to find the exit.
You find a stairwell, your very faint footsteps echoing down them. You are amazed by the beautiful tapestry surrounding you, including art of influential ponies of the past and present.
You are lucky enough not to encounter guards on your way to the exit.
Eventually, you peek your head around a corner to find a backdoor at the end of a hallway. You would walk towards it, but it seems that there are some guards patrolling around there.
The only thing standing between you and the society you want to see are these two guards. What do you do?
1. Ask for help. After all, they know who I am, right?
2. Sneak past. If the princesses don't know I'm leaving, I'd have little excuse to tell them.
3. Head back. I don't want to get into any hot waters.
[3 is chosen]
With a breath of relief, you approach the door to your room. However, you find it open.
You: "Did I leave that open?" Taking more deliberate steps, you peep your head past the door to find...
You: "T-Twilight?"
Twilight: *gasp*
She was in your room, staring at your small amount of belongings, wondering where you had been.
Twilight: "Good morning, Mad Scientist! ...Where have you been?"
You: "Well, I, uhhh...well, you see..."
1. Poorly lie: "...I-I was looking for the bathroom!"
2. Decently lie: "...I was, uh, looking for you. Wondering you were awake."
3. Tell the truth: "...mmmaybe I thought about taking a stroll around Canterlot. I didn't leave yet, though
[3 is chosen]
You: "...mmmaybe I thought about taking a stroll around Canterlot. I didn't leave yet, though." Twilight was a bit surprised.
Twilight: "Oh... well, we were actually thinking of showing you around after some breakfast! Care to join?"
Realizing that you are hungry, you agree to have some breakfast with the princesses.
At the breakfast table, where you are served some eggs and coffee, you are greeted by the majestic presence of the other three princesses.
Celestia: "Good morning, Scientist. How was your night?"
Ignoring your soreness, you say, "It took me a moment to sleep, but I feel great!"
After a hearty breakfast, Twilight decides it's time for you to explore a little.
Twilight: "So, what do you want to do? I could show you around the castle, show you a bit of Canterlot, or even show you Ponyville--if you don't mind the travel there."
What do you want to do?
1. See more of the castle. It's so beautiful, after all! It also makes you feel pretty royal. Also, you're kinda sore, so this would be easy to manage.
2. Take a stroll around Canterlot. You can't wait to see high society in such a beautiful city! Plus, it's looking very pretty outside.
3. Take a trip to Ponyville! The travel will make you feel a little weary, but... Wow! You could see the rest of the Mane 6, plus the friendly locals!
[3 is chosen]
Your face gleams. "Wait... I could see Ponyville? Like, THE Ponyville?"
(Before you came here, you had communicated with Twilight about how your universe has a TV show on them, leading to scientific theory regarding how inspiration for fiction may result from the fabric of time-space in other universes. She know you're a fan.)
After some brief preparations, you and Twilight say goodbye to the other three princesses (who were there yesterday to meet regarding Twilight's radio contact with you) and head for the Friendship Express station, escorted by a guard.
On your way to the station, you took a look at the beautiful civilization around you. Not too many ponies were out. Many gave you very strange looks, but you paid no heed as you gazed in wonder at the marble architecture, the sun making the walls of some of the buildings glitter.
"Allllll abooooard!!!"
You hop on the Friendship Express with Twilight and your escort, discussing nerd stuff.
You: "I really hope the Riemann Hypothesis is true..."
Twilight: "Don't you mean NEIGHmann hypothesis?"
*CHOO CHOOO!!!* The train chugs off slowly. You smile as Canterlot slowly shrinks.
Destination: Ponyville!
A small town comes into view, with medieval type houses that you'd recognize everywhere. A few pegasi fly majestically through the air as you arrive on the outskirts of town.
You whisper to Twilight, "Do we need that guard to escort us?"
Twilight: "Not anymore, I think." She instructs him to return to Canterlot.
You smile with excitement at the beautiful sight. The air feels very pure, and the sun provides just the right amount of warmth. Birds sing familiar songs you've heard them sing back on Earth.
You: "Just like home."
***
Ponies, despite your very awkward presence, are enjoying themselves. Children play as parents socialize.
Twilight: "Ah... I remember when I first visited this town. I never really expected much of it. Little did I know that it--and the ponies who lived in it--would change my whole life."
You: "It already changed mine. Trust me."
