Well, here's part 4.
After a while, which I honestly don’t know how long, I started to faintly hearing a sharp tapping upon the ground, like a woodpecker pecking at wood but at a slow rate. They were definitely close and somewhat loud, but then I heard hooting, which was practically right up next to my ears, like an alarm clock. I began to open my eyes a little and could distinctly see, inches from me, Owlowiscious, hooting, trying to wake me up, almost like an alarm clock, but with a gentle and non-annoying sound. Once my eyes were mostly open, I turned slightly to the side, and yawned. I noticed that, after I yawned, Owlowiscious’ gaze was looking above me, to my left. However, I could see anything nor anyone, so I figured the being/object Owlowiscious was looking at was more behind me rather than to my direct left. Just then, I heard a voice, one that was slightly shy, but it sounded more of curiosity rather than not being social, “Ummm….Hello? Are you awake?” I could recognize that voice, since I’ve heard it over 100 times. I tried to turn around, but slowly, since I could feel a twinge of pain in my right hind leg, but not in my left foreleg. As I turned, noticing that the pain was only in one of my now four legs, I decided to stand up, while keeping the injured leg at a 45º angle, rather than upright. This, in turn, slightly accelerated my rotation. After a mere 3-5 seconds, I looked up, since I was partly limping, at the face of a purple alicorn that I had known about so much. Twilight Sparkle. I could see that she was an alicorn, due to her having a unicorn, as well as wings at her sides, which I could easily see, though they were folded at the sides. Knowing very well that, least in Celestia’s, Luna’s, and Cadence’s cases, alicorns were essentially royalty, I very slowly kneeled down just as we looked each other in the eye, bowing politely, since I knew that Twilight was a princess of course, as she was wearing her crown. “I am very much awake, your Highness.” I softly spoke, a bit nervous about talking to one of the mane six, and the technical leader of the group to boot. For some reason, though I was looking down at her hooves, since I was bowing, I could just tell that she was either flattered or embarrassed at me kneeling before her, as she slightly stammered, though a bit more boldly than I spoke, “That’s not really necessary, fellow pony. You may stand, if you can.” I smiled a little at her humbleness and kindness, so I did as she asked, but still with a minor limp. Normally, an injured leg would be difficult to deal with. That is, if I was a bipedal, such as a human, but I was an equine, a quadruped. I had three other legs to support my body weight. I looked up at her, as I stood and kindly asked, “May I ask your name...Princess?” Twilight, still blushing a little, replied, “Twilight. Twilight Sparkle….but you don’t have to call me Princess. Just Twilight.” At this, I nodded, understanding her answer, after which she asked, “Uhh….what’s your name?” The funny thing is, that despite how her voice seemed calmer and bolder than mine did, I could just faintly tell she WAS stunned at seeing me, or rather some random unicorn, suddenly appear in her treehouse, in the library to boot. I was about to answer with my real name, but recalled that no one in Equestria, to my knowledge actually had a name anywhere close to that of a human, except for maybe Trixie or that Griffon that Rainbow Dash was a former friend of. I looked to my sides, to see if there was a cutie mark, but of course…..there wasn’t. I should’ve figured, since I didn’t have a clue what I wanted to do in life. So, I improvised, but had difficulty, “Antonnius Thespis But…..you may call me Antonnius, if you want.” Honestly, after I said that, I felt rather stupid of having made up such a name. The reference was to playwright, classical playwright, since I couldn’t think of one to represent animal biology or the veterinarian field. When I said that, I was blushing just as much as Twilight. “Ummmm…...okay, Antonnius.” Twilight replied, raising an eyebrow slightly. “How did I get here, T-....Twilight?” I nervously asked, looking around a little. “Last I remember I was in my hometown, walking in the park, when suddenly, I started to feel very tired and dizzy, and was about to hit the ground, but I blacked out….and ended up in here. I’m sorry if I’m trespassing.” If Twilight was bipedal, or at least could do such a thing, I could tell she would’ve scratched the back of her head, and bit embarrassed at something, which she slowly told me, “Well…..you see…...I think I might have accidentally brought here….t-to Ponyville from….wherever you live.” “Come again?” I blinked, curious. “Well….you see, I was carefully testing my magic spells….and skills, when all of a sudden, I think a bit of my magic made you come here, since, as I was testing a few spells from my books, I heard a distinct thump upstairs in my room, as if somepony fell down, but normally if they were to get in, I would’ve seen them.” Twilight answered, as she continued to explain, how she found me, flat on my belly, as a unicorn, and, for my sake, bring me downstairs since her books were downstairs. However, as she explained this, I was, in my own head, trying to think of how to act. I was certain, thanks to watching Doctor and a few other space or time-relevant shows/films, that it probably wouldn’t be a good idea to act like I know everyone and everything they did, entirely. I was pondering upon whether I should act like I didn’t know about Ponyville but knew well about royalty or a few other things, as if I was a unicorn but only grew up in one location, to say the least, OR whether I should act like I know a few things, such as the fact I was in Ponyville and its partly relevant position from other locations of Equestria. “But ummmmm…..where are you from, Antonnius?” Twilight asked, which briefly stopped my train of thought. Rather than improvise, I thought for a moment and discreetly smirked at how some cities/towns in Equestria, such as Manehattan, were named after real cities from my reality, but with an equine style to it. So, being from Philadelphia, I said, “I’m from Fillydelphia. It’s a very big city.” I looked out at what I could see of the town through the windows, and added, “And from the looks of things, quite far from here. Uhhhh….you said Ponyville was this town’s name?” “That’s right. Ponyville, where I live, that and a lot of my friends.” Twilight smiled, starting to seem calmer now. “Although, I think it’ll be a while before I can figure out a way to take you back to Fillydelphia, about as quick or least half as quick as I brought you here.” I just shrugged, but not in a disturbed/disappointed way, “I guess that means I’ll have to sleep somewhere in town, huh?” At this, Twilight nodded. “Think there might be any place I could sleep? To be honest, I’d rather not sleep in your bed, since this tree is your home/house.” Twilight slightly blushed at the kindness I gave, and replied, “I think there might be at least one to two places you could sleep at, we’ll just have to look.” She looked out the window, and added, “Which, if you’re feeling okay, we could do now.” I smiled and nodded, despite the slight limp, “I’m feeling fine. Never better.” I then looked at Owlowiscious and, whispered, “Thank you.” She simply just hooted and blinked as if to say, “You’re welcome.” I then faced the door, away from which Twilight stepped, and began to try to use my...newly-acquired magic, since I was a unicorn, to open the door. Thankfully, opening the wooden door was about as easy as opening a closed one, after unlocking it that is, so there was a little difficulty at first. Having opened the door, I stopped using magic, since I knew for sure the door would remain ajar unless closed by physical force or magic, looked at Twilight and politely spoke, “Mares first, Twilight.” Twilight smiled at this, as she stepped out, “Thank you, Antonnius.” I followed her out and used my magic to close the door, as the two of us began to calmly trot around Ponyville, occasionally saying hi to someone. To be honest, about the main thing I was thinking of, was my anxiety to meet the rest of the mane 6, especially……..Fluttershy. However, once again, Twilight spoke up, stopping my train of thought, as she told me to stop, at which I did and was about to ask why but saw in front of me, her head around a foot away from mine, a cotton-candy-pink furred earth pony that a lot of bronies knew too well. It was Pinkie Pie, who I had almost accidentally bumped into. Even though I knew what to expect, I mentally scratched the back of my head and smiled though still nervous, “Ummmmm….hi.” And of course, just like she did in the 1st episode of the whole series, Pinkie Pie, gasped, jumped into the air and, essentially galloped off. I blinked and looked off in the direction of her running and, trying my best to act surprised and new to most of this, spoke, with a raised eyebrow, “Well that was just odd.” Twilight of course, explained to me, “Oh, that’s just how Pinkie Pie greets new ponies to Ponyville. But you’ll soon learn to like her, and see her true behavior.” I nodded, at this, and lowered the brow, as we continued to walk along, eventually passing by the school. However, just as we passed it, I noticed that Twilight was often looking at my rear left side, just above the hind leg, which was starting to feel better, at which point I was quite possibly an inch or two taller than her, maybe about the same. I looked her in the eyes, but not in a threatening way and she caught my gaze as I kindly asked, “Ummmm….why are you staring at my flank, Twilight?” She was clearly a bit too nervous to explain so I just assumed, a bit embarrassed myself, “Is it because I don’t have a cutie mark?” Twilight nodded, “Well, you’re around the same age as me, maybe a little older, and surely, by the looks of things, you have attended school for some time at least, but you don’t have a cutie mark. I think by now, most ponies would have one.” I nodded, understanding her explanation and simply replied but softly, “It’s okay, Twilight. To be honest, I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I have two specialties and therefore two interests, but I unsure as of which to choose.” “Well, what are they?” Twilight asked, sighing with a bit of relief. “Well, one is…..simply to help take care of animals, like pets to put it simply. The other one is, to be an actor or stage performer, involved in plays and musicals. I like them both just as equally but I’m honestly stuck in the decision, which is why I don’t have a cutie mark.” I described. “Well, perhaps eventually you’ll learn which one is for you, Antonnius.” Twilight kindly replied, at which I shrugged, uncertain, as we continued to walk through Ponyville. After a while, we walked up to a, essentially coneish-shaped building with a mixture of colors, such as pink, white, blue, violet, and some gold-like shades. I knew the building well, and was starting to think that Twilight was leading me to her friends’ homes, that is aside from Rainbow Dash since hers is in the clouds. Twilight looked at me, as we stopped just outside of the door, and asked, “Just asking, Antonnius, but I’m sure you’ve been in plays, aside from school ones, right?” I blushed, and smiled a little, “Well, once or twice, but maybe as a side character rather than one of the main roles.” “Then, just in case, you might want to prepare yourself a little.” Twilight advised. “For what?” I asked, blinking and raising an eyebrow. “You’ll see.” she simply replied, as she and I looked at the door, of Rarity’s house.

Well, I got more bad news. Since my brother is being a lazy/lousy, crybaby retard, (he won't go to school to be exact, but he's been mainly doing nothing but play video games for hours on end), my mom and the person we live with decided to unplug the router, meaning that while I'm at home, I won't have internet access either. (However, after hearing this, this morning, my brother went into the bathroom with a knife. [Like I said, crybaby retard]). It's his punishment, but it affects of us. However, mom, or more likely the person we live with, will plug in the router, but ONLY when they're home, and most days, it takes 3 hours from the time I get home, to the time mom gets home. So, until then, I mainly have to watch TV, or listen to music, since, due to his behavior, and the fact that he isn't willing to go to school, it'll most likely come to the point where mom and the person we live with, unplug and put away my 360 bcuz of the brat. So, to put it short, that means less time to chat with you pups/ponies, and less time to work on the story.
P.S. According to the law, a student can only have up to 7 days of unexcused absence from school before going before the judge, as my mom tells me, and my brother has 5 days of unexcused absence. He keeps this up and it'll end tomorrow, or Wednesday.
