Abnormal Normal: Origins

ABNORMAL NORMAN: ORIGINS

_________________________________________________________________________________________
>Your name is Norman Normal, or as most of my friends call me, Normal Norman.
>A student from Canterlot High, born and raised in Pennsylvania, moved here due to something about your father's job.
>Months ago, you made a small comment that branded you a racist of the school.
>It was a weird school to begin with. Everyone's skin had a color that...well...
>That story's saved for another time to tell.
>The funny thing is, your social life was saved by a weird girl.
>Her name was Twilight Sparkle. A girl who you're sure is suffering from dementia.
>She believes that she came from a magical land where ponies talk and magic ruled the land, and that she's sent here to find an artifact before Sunset Shimmers does.
>Normally you would've ignored her, but it was a horrible first day, and you had to be friends with someone.
>Eventually, she introduced you to a group of women whom she deemed 'Her friends back at Equestria'.
>Initially confused, we both warmed up to them in a way.
>Like most highschool stories,  you fell in love with at least three of them.

>Two though stayed in your heart.

>Rarity, or as you affectionately call 'Aryan Beauty' has been the jewel of your heart for months.
>Rainbow Dash, the woman who's been a bro with you for quite some time. Even helped you out in situations that ...well...that's another story to tell.
>While you enjoyed their company at the first few days, you found a friend in a half-jerk and a womanizer named Flash Sentry, though most of the student body calls him 'Brad'.
>Brad was that guy who's too adventurous for a teenager.
>Often times, he'd take you to dangerous places, or sometimes just use you as some sort of wingman.
>He's a jerk, but he's like a brother to you now. Not in the Rainbow Dash sense, but in a way that he's tolerable and cool.
>You met several students in the school, and overtime, the racism accusations diminished into nothing more than an inside joke as the months went by.
>Funny how things turned out.

>It was all fine and swell, and you thought to yourself that this is your highschool life.
>Friends with six 7-9/10 women.
>Best friends with a womanizer.
>Surviving highschool, one drama and a subject at a time.
>Heh.
>But like the future, it tends to change the direction of your life.
>One way or another.
>One day.
>They say it only takes one day to change a man's mind.
>Where have I read that?
>Bah, it doesn't matter.
>Day by day, the frozen weather wakes you up from your sleep.
>You looked beside you to see a bunch of people you've never met.
>Then again, they never met you as well.
>Near you, a woman of African descent, sleeping sound and well.
>She knows your story.
>The story of how a single idea, and a single event changed everything.
___________________________________________________________

>You awoke to the bright sunny day.
>Everything is well and in order.
>Sun in your face, birds chirping.
>Such a beautiful day.
>You went down to check if there's some food in the fridge.
>No food other than the chili.
"Oh well..."
>It was nothing unusual. In fact, the day just keeps on getting more...average by the second.
>You were self aware of it. It was getting tedious.
>You go outside, trying to find something to do or someone to talk to.
>Out in the open, children playing nearby.
>Your friends are most likely busy. No one called or texted you for the past hours.
"Well, time to sleep for the whole Saturday I suppose." You tell yourself.
>But you're stopped at your tracks to behold a sight not meant for your eyes.
>A flash of lightning on the clouds. An unexplained ripple through the clouds.
>"Oh shit, it's the zombie apocalypse!" you joked to yourself, referencing an old zombie book.
>You watched the clouds swirl as a meteor slowly falls from the sky.
"Oh shit."
>You realize that the space rock is heading straight at your direction
"Shit shit shit shit AHHHHHH!"
>You run like hell, eager to get through the day without turning into some sort of pancake.
"ACK!"
>You jumped out of the meteor's way at the last second, crashing near your body.
>You regain consciousness and rolled around on the ground.
"Ahh..."
>Your sleeve is burning.
"AAHH! CRAP!"
>You put it out by swatting it a few times.
>You wiped the dirt off your face as you slowly approached the rock that came from the stars.

>You stared at the object, and decided to investigate it.
>Beyond the meteor, a small crack was seen.
>Inside the crack, an artifact. An familiar item that breeds earthly jewelry.
>Yet somehow...

>"WHOA, BRADICAL!"

>You look behind you, seeing Brad in amazement at what you discovered.
>"What happened here, dude?" He asked in excitement
>You touched the crack on the meteor. It broke like cracked glass.
>Without fear, nor regret, you took the artifact from the rock and examined it.
>You explained to him where the rock came from and how it got here while you dusted the mysterious artifact with your clothes.
>"Is that a... ring?" He asked.
>It looks orange with a hint of rust.
"Probably a wedding ring from Mars." You joked.-
>You put it on to check its size.
>Slowly fitting it on your ring finger, you noticed something strange.
>The ring glowed as you finished sliding the ring down your finger.
"Urgh...GRR...AHH..."
>Suddenly, you feel all powerful, as if something great is flowing through your veins
"Holy shit, I think I can feel something different happening!"
>Brad looks at you in confusion
>"WHAT? WHAT? ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLODE!?"
>You stumble in your place, feeling a bit dizzy.
"I...I..."
*PRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRT*
>You let out a large fart, thanks to the left over chili you found this morning
>Goddammit.
>Brad lets out a laugh
>"BUAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Oh man, that was freaking epic!" He says like a child.
>You  looked around and saw two flashing lights heading at you.
>A police car comes to the scene.
"Crap. Let's get out of here, man."
>"Yeah. I don't want another free prostate exam."
"A what?"
>"N-Nothing."
>You and Brad ran across the street.
>However, Brad notices something strange.
>In twelve seconds flat, you reached your home without breaking a sweat.
>"Whoa, dude! When did you run like that?"
"Run like what?"
>"You ran like you were Usain Bolt!"
"What? Maybe you're seeing things. I feel normal."
>"I...errr...I mean, I never saw you ran that fast, and the fastest you ran was the day you met Shimmers!" He says.
>"I guess I just had a surge of energy." You replied.
>"Ah, well be seeing you, man."
>Brad bids farewell as he runs back home.
"Weird day."
 >You went to your room and sat down your chair.
>You took the ring off and looked at it.
>It has inscriptions inside and outside of it.
>Like one of those prop rings from Lord of the Rings.
"Huh..."
>It  flashes. Glows even.
>It lights up, slowly flashing a small hologram.
"What the..."
>The hologram shows a man in a suit.
>Though the man was clearly not of human origin.
>He was green. He had no face, but he had a mouth.
>The rest of his body was green.
>His suit felt like it was part of his body.
>It looks like the ghost who kicked you in the football stadium
"NORMAN OF NORMAL EARTH."
>You look at it with horror.
>However, the hologram was cut short.
>ISSH...CREHHH...GAAARRR...SMMSHHH
>It seems damaged, and it can't relay the message.
>The ring stops glowing and returns to normal.
>"Oh jeez"
>You realized that this ring knows who you are.
>You walk around in circles, afraid of what you hold in your hand.
"It's an alien artifact. Maybe there's another alien out there named Norman of Normalearth." you tell yourself in denial.
>Alas, you give up.
>You accepted the possibility that the message me indeed be directed at you.
>You're going to need help, and if there's one woman in this damned city who knows how to deal with the weird and freaky, it's Twilight Sparkle.

Be Fluttershy
Tutoring Twilight on the human structure
>Twlighti seems fascinated by it, but she still keeps making references to horses and ponies.
>You were about to ask her about her obsessions with equine beings, when suddenly your front door launched itself to a wall.
*BOOOSH*
"aiiee-"
>Letting out a short low-pitched scream, Twilight investigates the matter.
>Going inside, Norman scratches the back of his head.
>>"S-Sorry about the door, I'll...uhh...pay for it!"
>You let out a blush and said:
 "N-Norman! What brings you here?"
>>"I need to find Purple, I need her help with something! I was hoping if you knew where she was." he said panting
>"I'm here Norman! What do you need me for?" she asked.
>Norman shows her the ring, and you both look at it in awe and confusion.
"I-is that for Rarity?" You ask in a serious tone.
>>"No, it's something I found from some meteor. "
>Norman explains his whole morning, with parts that neither of you can't believe
"Well, that door made your story plausible, but.."
>Suddenly, Twilight grabs Norman's ring, examining it with the eyes of a hawk
>"This could be the artifact I was looking for!" She says.
>Norman grabs the ring.
>>"We don't even know what this is!"
>"What else does it do?"  Twilight asks him.
>>"Well, I could run faster than before, and that." Norman says while looking at the door
>"Maybe this thing doubles my normal everyday abilities!"
"Y-you mean you can heal at twice the rate and hear at twice the frequency"?
>>"Probably." He says in delight. "I could probably even survive a day with all your pets!"
>"Hmm, this requires more testing" Twilight said
>Twilight grabs the nearest chair and slams it on Norman's head without warning
>"Gaah~" you scream.
>"Well that didn't work" Twilight says, looking at Norman's  passed out body
>"Uhh, Twilight...Norman wasn't wearing the ring yet"
>Twilight looks at both his hands.
>"Oh...fudge nuggets."

Be Norman
The Void
>Goddammit, what happened?
>You float in an endless void.
>You float on, looking at your surroundings.
>The environment is strange, it looks like a galaxy filled with weird looking planets.
>You land on a strange planet, seemingly in war
>You see a woman with short purple hair, wearing a grey coat with derp eyes, a fedora with a small strip of paper on it
>She is reading a book,  "The Bra- Adventu- Norm-" was the only thing you could see, for her hands hide some of the characters
>She looks at you, lifting her glasses and smirking
>"Ahh, what a surprise, you're here" she says
"Where am I?"
>"Well, if there's one thing for certain, you're not supposed to be here. Best case scenario is that you just passed out. Worst case scenario is, you're dead".
>You look at her with shock.
"W-what!? I'm dead..or...PROBABLY DEAD???"
>Look, I'd love to play 200 questions with you, but I have a civil war to attend to.
>"Wait! Maybe you could help me! You see, I found this ring..."
>She stops, looks at you with her cold gaze.
>"...and I suddenly gained superpowers or something, plus there's this message that I couldn't quite make out"
>"What message?" she asked
>"Some green guy in a suit. The rest of the message is just broken and corrupted"
>"Well, there's the answer to your question" she said.
>"My theory is that someone just made your life more interesting just for the heck of it"
>"But..."
>Look I gotta go. /v/ideo game board just dropped another daily reminder, and it's summer hour right now.
>She leaves, and you're left with a dumb look in your face. You look at your surroundings, questioning the environment, as well as her semi-cryptic answers.

Be Twilight Sparkle
Fluttershy's House

>Oh smudge, you just knocked out your friend
>what do what do what do
>"Just help me carry him to the couch" Flutters tells you
>You lift him up with all your might from his back and you suddenly drop him on Flutters
>"Gahh~" she says, lying down with Norman on top of her
>"My bad" you say to her.
>Moments passed after we managed to lift Norman to the couch
>You examine the ring ,wearing it and all that.
>"W-what do you feel?" Flutters inquired.
>Pretty...normal." You tell her
>You take the ring off, and decided to put it on Norman's finger
>"Let's see what happens next"

Be Norman
>You're taking a look around the place.
>Pointless arguments spouting left and right arguing on something called "best pony".
>People causing trouble amongst the sectors while a huge man with a white moustache sleeps amongst the insanity.
>Before you could do more exploring, you felt your finger going hot, as if something is making it sweaty.

>Suddenly something flashes through your eyes
>A green man in a suit, a mouth without a face. It was him.
NORMAN OF NORMAL EARTH.
>You look onto the man, scared shitless because he appeared out of nowhere.
>He gazes upon you without his eyes, speaking of his speech
>YOU HAVE BEEN CHOSEN FROM MORE THAN 50 BACKGROUND CHARACTERS TO WIELD THIS RING. WE SHALL BE SPECTATING ON YOUR ADVENTURES WITH AND WITHOUT THIS RING.
[spoiler]As the man was talking, the whole environment transformed into something similar to Celestia's song in the S3 finale[/spoiler]
>Screens everywhere, depicting his whole life, as well as several others from the multiverse
>"Fuck, why can't my life be like that?" you say, pointing the universe (or oneshot) where you have a perfect relationship with Aryan Beauty"
>THIS IS ALL YOU, ONLY IN DIFFERENT UNIVERSES. ONE WHERE YOU IMPREGNATE BUTTON'S MOTHER, THE OTHER WHERE BRAD MAKES YOU  PREGNANT AND ONES WHERE YOU DIE.
"But why?"
>YOU'RE PROBABLY QUESTIONING NOW WHY YOU WERE CHOSEN!
>Shitty holagram knowitall.
>The man in the suit shows you pictures of many women.
>You managed to make out three of them. Lyra Heartstrings. Derpy Hooves. Vinyl Scratch.
>BECAUSE YOUR DESIGN INTRIGUES US. AS FOR YOUR RING, MAKE THE BEST OUT OF IT. WE SHALL BE SPECTATING. AUF WIEDERSEHEN
>The man in the suit leaves your sight, and you're left with more questions than answers. Who am I? Why was I chosen, and why were THEY chosen?
>As you become more self aware, you wake up from the horrible nightmare.
>"NORMAN! YOU'RE ALIVE" Purple shouted.
>"We were worried" Flutters said
"Ugh, what happened, and what did you mean by 'YOU'RE ALIVE!'?
>"Oh, that. I uhh..smashed a chair on your head..FOR SCIENCE." Purple defended herself
"Well, as long as it wasn't seriou-
>Before you could finish your sentence, Purple interrupts you.
>"Now that you're wearing the ring, I suggest we do MORE TESTING"
>Purple grabbed an axe from Flutter's closet and tried to swing it onto your head
>"JESUS, PURPLE. WHAT THE HELL?"
>"We must test more! How else are we going to realize your full potential?"
"Look, I'll just find another way to test myself" You said whilst grabbing and throwing the axe back to Flutter's closet
>"Why do you even have that in your closet?"
>"Angel sometimes can't sleep without firewood"
>You look at her with a small smirk
>Moments later, you tell them your nightmare up to the last detail
"...and there was this whole screen where I was marrying Aryan Beauty, and this other one where everyone was obsessed with twerking. It was all very weird"
>"Oh my, that does sound weird" Flutters said, going red
"In the end, he mentioned something about being chosen because of designs, and that I was chosen with Vinyl, , Lyra, Derpy, and other people I don't know"
>"Could it be that they know something about this?"
"I'm not so sure."
>You look out, seeing the sunset.
>"Well, it's getting late, I should go. I'll call you when something happens"
>And with that, you leave Flutters house, and ran through the streets.
>You slowly walked around, calming yourself.
>The vision, the pain of getting bludgeoned.
>As you wore the ring, you noticed a very descriptive environment.
"I...uahh..."
>In a relaxed state, you noticed EVERYTHING.
>You can hear trouble nearby.
>"HELP!"
>It's Applehat's grandmother, getting mugged by some street thug.
>"Just give me the bag you old runt!"
>You you look at your fist, where your ring was worn.
>You looked at the thug with determination in  your eyes, and said to yourself, "Well, if Bruce Wayne had the guts..."
>You rush towards the thug with athletic speed, and punched his stomach, causing him to land on the wall behind his back.
>You breathed heavily, realizing what you just done.
>The thug held his stomach in sheer pain. Granny Smith  looked in shock.
>"OH MY, SONNY! HOW ON APPLEARTH DID YOU DO THAT?" Granny Smith asked.
"I...Uhhh..."

>Suddenly Brad runs torwards Norman
>"WHOA DUDE. THAT WAS BRADICAl."
"Yeah well, it felt...good."
>"We need to get him to a hospital. He's in serious pain!" Granny said
>As she calls 911 for assistance, Brad starts speaking nonsense
>"BRO, I think you got super powers! You could be a super hero! Complete with the tights!"
"Look, I'm not going to be-"
>"THINK A BOUT IT! WE COULD HAVE FAME, MONEY-"
"Look Brad, as much as I'd love to be one, I just don't have the time for it.
>"Look bro, how many people get to have superpowers in one lifetime? You can't leave this whole idea on the ground!"
"Ehh..."
>As you think about the situation, Granny taps you on the shoulder
>"Thank you for saving me Norman. Would you like some Apple pie? We have some left at our house"
"No thank you Mrs. Smith. I have to get going."
>As you ran home, Brad yelled at you "DON'T FORGET ABOUT WHAT I SAID"
>Going in your home, you went to your room and lied down in exhaustion.
>You thought about the ring some more, as well as Brad's idea.
"A super hero, huh?"
>You look through your closet, finding your old beanie, a few tattered clothes and an idea for a costume.
>You look out the window with a smile, hoping that this wouldn't be the worst idea you would go through with.
