Magneus Varkari, a normal human. One day, as he was walking to the store to buy some supplies for his 19th birthday, a man approached him from a dark alley. 

"Hey man, wanna see a magic trick? I take requests. Just step into my office if you're interested" the man said and then disappeared into the alley again. Magneus, being the curious person he was, shrugged and decided to follow him. It was probably a joke, or an attempt on his life, but he knew how to defend himself.

When they reached the dead end of the alley, there was a small tent. They both went in, and to Magneus' surprise, it was a lot bigger than it looked like from the outside. 

"So, what will it be? Cut you in half then put you back together? Pull a rabbit out of your ear?" 

"How about... send me to another world with living creatures?" he requested jokingly, he knew for sure it wasn't possible. 

"Ooo, good idea. I haven't done that one in ages!" the man said and started to gather seemingly random objects from around the room. He set them all around Magneus and said a few words, and without warning, everything started to fade away. 

"Have a nice trip!" the man said and laughed maniacally as Magneus' world disappeared.

'Agh, that weirdo did something to me...' he thought. He was short of breath and had trouble opening his eyes, but he could feel the grass beneath himself. He lifted himself and and tried to forcefully pry his eyes open with his fingers. It worked, and now he could see everything around him. It was... Where was he? He wasn't where he was a few minutes ago, thats for sure.

 

He was on top of a hill in a large apple tree orchard, probably the biggest he had ever seen. He could have sworn it went on for miles. The only sign of civilization he could see was a red barn and a smallish town about a two hours walk away. "Great, i'm going to miss my birthday..." he mumbled and started his long trek to the town, or at least the barn so he could make a phone call.

 

~~Two hours and 17 minutes later~~

 

He finally reached the barn, and found a small house nearby as well. Probably the owners of the barn and the orchard. 'They must be rich with all the apples they sell' he thought, looking back at the orchard briefly. He walked to the small house near the barn and knocked on the door three times. He noticed that everything was a bit... small. Well, not exactly small, but it wasn't normally sized. After a bit of shuffling from inside, the door was finally answered. 

 

"Sorry, i'm a bit lo- WHAT THE HECK!?" he freaked out and backed away from the door. To his surprised, an orange... well, it sort of resembled a pony, but it was a bit deformed for a pony. Nevertheless, it answered the door. It looked just as surprised as he was. "Whut 'n tarnation!?" the pony exclaimed, quickly shutting the door and locking it. "Well thats a bit rude..." he mumbled. 'Wait a second... did it just TALK?'  He knocked again, but there was no answer, only a voice coming from a nearby window. "Uh... go away! Nopony's home!" the pony yelled and then ducked before he could catch a look at it. "Yup, it talked... Well, this certainly is strange... maybe there are actual humans in the town" he thought out loud and started to walk towards the town. 'Obviously this is some sort of dream that guy put me in. Stupid, i should have never gone into that tent' he thought.

 

~~A few minutes later~~

 

He finally reached the town... but there were no humans, just more ponies. "ALRIGHT THEN, I THINK I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS SILLY DREAM, YOU CAN WAKE ME UP NOW!" he yelled to the sky in hope that he would wake up soon. But until that happened, he kept walking into town. As soon as the ponies saw him, they would cower into their homes.

 

Eventually he ended up stumbling upon a tree-house... no literally, it was a house made from the tree itself. It was a rather big tree too. He spotted a lavender pony peeking out through a window at him. She didn't show fear, but instead interest. Like she wanted to know more about him. He waved at the pony, but as soon as it realized he could see it, it cowered. "Alright then..." he mumbled.

 

~Twilight

 

Twilight ducked below the window and looked over at Spike. "It saw me Spike!" she whispered over to him. "What do we do Twilight?" he asked, hoping he wouldn't be seen by the creature either. "I don't know, but personally, i think we should inform Princess Celestia. Bring me a piece of parchment, an inkwell and a quill. Fast!" she told him. He nodded and quickly rushed to the study room where he found and brought back the requested items. "Here you go Twilight" he said and handed them to her. She grabbed them in her magic and quickly wrote down a message to the Princess, telling about the mysterious creature roaming around the town.

 

She rolled it up into a scroll once she was finished and handed it to Spike. The young dragon took a deep breath and blew his magical fire onto the scroll. It turned into a wispy green smoke and disappeared. "Alright. Now all we can do is wait and hope for a reply" she said and relaxed. She knew the princess could take care of this with ease.

 

~Magneus

 

He wandered around for another hour before he could hear voices from behind him. He turned around to see two ponies that were wearing golden armor. "There it is!" one of them exclaimed. They both rushed over to him and cast what seemed to be magic towards him.

 

A bubble of golden magic surrounded him, holding him in mid air. "Hey, what's the big idea!" he yelled, but they couldn't hear him.

He pounded on the bubble for a few seconds, but realized he was either too weak to break through the magic, or it was unable to be broken. "Good, now to bring it back to the Princess. There its fate will be decided..." the other guard said and nodded towards Magneus. The first guard closed the magic bubble on him, putting him to sleep.

 

 

~~Three days later~~

 

Magneus woke up, but he wasn't where he expected to be. He could tell from the cast iron metal bars and dirty mattress he was laying on, that this was... "Prison... you're kidding me" he said to himself. He sighed and looked up at the ceiling. To him it felt like only a few hours had passed since he arrived here. He hoped that this dumb dream would end soon, he didn't look forward to spending much time in prison.
