>You can hear the beating of your heart as you come to.
>Upon opening your eyes, the brightness of the vast sky above fills your vision.
>It was almost too much to take in at once so you closed them once more.
>Sitting up, you reopen your eyes once more and use your hands as a shield from the harsh light above temporarily.
>Where are you?
>As you look around you notice you were laying in a bed of various flowers midst a rather large field.
>The trees seem to go on forever.
>You get up and notice your shorts and your favorite shirt are dirty.
>After taking a moment to brush them off you proceed to walk aimlessly in a direction
>No sense in just staying there.
>Time for a little adventure!
>Of course not knowing exactly where you are is a little bit frightening.
>Not a being in sight to even say hello too...
>Your stomach starts growling.
>You look around thinking a plate of food might be somewhere near by.
>Awww, who are you kidding. You wish something like that could just happen.
>Looking up at the tree, you noticed that they have apples on them.
>Actually all the trees around you have apples on them.
>Your small being could never reach them from the ground.
>Only one thing to do...
>Try to climb and obtain some delicious apples!
>The thought of this action and succeeding fills you with DETERMINATION.
>Slowly but surely you make your way up into the tree.
>Just don't look down and focus on those red and juicy looking apples.
>You're up at the branches not it's time for the hard part.
>Making your way on the branch to obtain them.
>Something in the back of your head says you might get hurt if you attempt this.
>But right now you were hungry.
>Time to do this in the safe way possible.
>Lay on the branch and sluggishly move your way toward the prize!
>Easier said than done.
>The slight shaking of the branch wasn't helping.
>Slowly....
>Almost there...
>An apple is now just within an arms reach!
>Without any more thought you hastily grab it and move back a little to the thicker part of the branch.
>You sit yourself up on the branch and look at your award for your effort.
>You smile and proceed to take a bite.
>Only to stop once a loud thud sends the whole tree violently shaking.
>Apples everywhere started falling....
>...along with you.
>You let out a scream, closed your eyes, and clutched the only thing you have gotten in this world.
>You was gonna hit the ground and get hurt real badly.
>Except the ground never made contact.
>You landed in something, but aren't exactly sure.
>It still hurt, but probably nothing compared to the ground.
>Feels like you fell into some lumpy ball pit.
>You can hear something speak.
>"What in tarnation was that?"
>You open your eyes again to see light pouring out the seams of the all the lumpy spheres that covered you.
>The seams of light got bigger as something was digging you out.
>Completely uncovering you, you are met with a rather strange thing.
>It's a talking monster!
>Well, monster is somewhat of a mean word. It's looks like a pony though.
>It's a talking pony!
>"Little fella, are ya okay?"
>You give a slight nod, still holding the apple you got earlier tightly in your small hands.
>She lets out a sigh of relief and helps you out of the thing you fell into.
>"Yer mighty lucky that I had this cart where it is. Don't know what would've happened if it wasn't."
>You look at the object and see that it was a big huge cart for apples!
>Which your stomach reminds you again that you're hungry....
>Looking at the apple you grabbed earlier, you proceed to eat it as if you hadn't eaten in days.
>The pony proceeds to talk to you once more
>"Did ya get up there all by yourself?"
>You had your face stuffed with apple right now so all you could do was look and smile.
>She gave a slight chuckle.
>"Well, if I got here sooner maybe ya'll wouldn't have had to do that."
>After finishing off the apple, she starts questioning you.
>"Are ya parent's anywhere around?"
>All you can do is just look down and kick a foot at the dirt
>"Don't tell me ya'll ran away from home now."
>You look back up and shake your head.
"I-I don't know where I am..."
>"Well, I'm not gonna leave you out here. So you can come back with me to the house.
>You sense a feeling of warmth from this pony.
>She straps herself in front of the cart and motions toward the cart.
>"Go ahead and hop back in, we got a little ways to go."
>You use one of the wheels to step stool your way back onto the top of the apple cart.
>"You can also help yerself to any more apples if ya'll want."
>Smiling, you pick an apple up and proceed to munch on it.
>...
>The ride was long, but fun. And it seems to be getting somewhat late.
>"Well, we're here!"
>You get out of the cart carefully, feet dangling off the side, before gently landing on the ground.
>The house looks rather old, but sturdy.
>She walks up the stairs and proceeds to look at you.
>"You're more than welcome here. I'll just let the folks know we're havin' a guest tonight."
>"Oh an' I haven't even told ya my name after all this time! The name's Applejack!"
>You look around and see all the interesting things that are around the house.
>"Heh, you don't have to come in right away but don't wander off too far now."
>You give her a nod and wander around the outside of the house.
>Behind the house, appears to be a rather large barn.
>There is also a pile of hay not too far from the front either.
>You decide to play in the hay a little bit.
>While playing, you think about what else this world holds.
>It makes you determined to find out.
>You hear the door to the house open.
>Stopping your rolling around and laying belly first you look in the direction of the house.
>"Haha, ya havin' fun there sugarcube?"
>You flash a smile and proceed to get up from the pile of hay.
>"Well, why don't ya'll come in. Everyone wants to meet ya."
>You nod and proceed to go toward the stairs and into the house.
>Upon entering you see that there are three others who live in this small house.
>The smallest of them, who's pretty much your height comes over to you.
>"Hey there, nice to meetcha!"
>The big red colored one simply looks at you with a slight smile on his face.
>There is also a really older one rocking in a chair and looks at you.
>"Well, don't be shy now make yerself at home little 'un."
>Applejack speaks to the others.
>"Ah found 'im while bucking for apples today. Fell from one of the trees I kicked. Just glad I was there at the time."
>The small one proceeds to ask you stuff.
>"So where'd you come from? You aren't a pony. Did you get lost?"
>Applejack gives her a pat on the head.
>"Now now, Applebloom. They just got here. Why don't you save those questions for later?"
>"Alright... Oh I know! Come on! I'll show you the house!"
>Applebloom tugs at the arm of your shirt with her teeth to get you to follow her.
>Meanwhile, Applejack and the other two are having conversation.
>"Heh, kids will be kids. Right, Big Mac?"
>"Eeyup."
>"Tomorrow I'll have to tell Twilight about this. She might know more about it than me."
>"Eeyup."
>"Ah mean they look like one of those humans and all, but they don't seem like a bad sort."
>She shakes her head.
>"Ah well, guess that'll be for tomorrow then."
>Meanwhile in Applebloom's room.
>"And this is my room! It's nothing too fancy, but I play with my other friends here sometimes, but we often go to our clubhouse."
>You move on over to the toy box.
>In it there seems to be just a few toys.
>The toy train caught your eye.
>However, the sound of Applejack's voice stopped you from reaching and playing with the toy.
>"Dinner's ready!"
>Awwww....
>Maybe next time.
>You and Applebloom make your way to the dining area.
>However, there is only enough seats for four.
>Applejack notices this and looks around the room.
>"Errr... hold on now I'll get something."
>After being gone for a moment she brings back a small stool and sits it at the end.
>"Sorry, but this was all I could find for ya."
>She puts her hoof on your head and gives you a slight pet.
>"You go on and sit and I'll take care of ya. Ok?"
>You nod and proceed to sit down at the table.
>Looked like tonight was a soup night for them.
>Everyone got a bowl of vegetable soup.
>It wasn't too bad.
>After dinner it was getting late and it got really dark outside.
>Applejack gets up and gets the bowls for everyone.
>"Well, guess it's time to hit the hay."
>She looks at you and gives a slight chuckle.
>"Oh yeah, say Applebloom. Ya don't mind if he sleeps in your room with you for the night?"
>"Sure! I don't mind."
>Everyone sure is nice to you.
>Both you, Applebloom, and Applejack make your way into Applebloom's room.
>Applebloom makes her way onto one side of the bed and you on the other.
>This bed is kind of big, even for a kid!
>Applejack makes sure both of you are tucked in before making her way to the door.
>"G'night you two."
>"G'night sis."
>You look up over to see Applejack.
"Good night."
>After she leaves you turn over and close your eyes.
>You wonder what tomorrow will bring...
