Chapter 1, My Little Adventure

My Little Adventure

 

“Ugh,” I moaned, my head was pounding. I couldn’t remember what had happened or where I was. All I really knew is that I was lying on a bed.

 

“Oh!” I heard a girls voice call out.

 

I couldn’t open my eyes, my head just hurt too much. My memories started coming back to me, albeit vaguely. I remember a cave, and a crystal. The crystal was beautiful, with all kinds of colors in it. I remember colors swirling around, purple, yellow, white, blue, and pink. It was just so beautiful; I had to get a closer look.

 

“Are you awake?” The voice said again.

 

Suddenly I heard a tinkling noise and my head stopped hurting. I opened my eyes and everything was purple. The tinkling stopped and the purple disappeared. I finally looked around. It looked like a hospital.

 

“Sorry for doing that without asking, you looked like you were in pain,” the voice said.

 

“Doing what?” I asked, looking around. I couldn’t see where the voice came from, it sounded close though.

 

“Magic.” Suddenly there was a bright purple light in front of me. When the light disappeared, I had to blink to make sure it was what I saw.

 

“You’re, you’re a unicorn!” I said in disbelief. “Y…you, did magic?” I was stunned. I calmed down a little, this must be a trick; my exploration team must be playing a trick on me.

 

“I think you’re the first human to identify me correctly, most people call me a horse,” the unicorn said, with a little laugh.

 

“You can’t be talking, that’s impossible. No,” I said, shaking my head, I didn’t believe this.

 

“Just like it’s impossible for you to be here?” The unicorn said.

 

“Well…” Suddenly all of my memories came back to me. We were on an adventure. Someone told us about a crystal, a teleporting crystal. We didn’t know if it was true, but we had hoped. “Twilight?” I asked.

 

“Oh,” she gasped. “You know who I am?”

 

“I think so, my memories are slowly coming back to me,” we wanted to believe that the show was true; it was just too amazing to not be. The man seemed crazy, but he had proof. I pulled out the picture that he gave us, a picture of him with the Mane 6.

 

“Oh, you know Gregory?” Twilight asked, pointing to the photo.

 

“Kind of, he’s the one who told me how to get here,” I looked around and realized that the rest of my team wasn’t here. “What do you mean by what you said earlier, about me being the first human?”

 

“Oh, there have been three humans here so far as far as I know,” Twilight said, she sat down on the floor.

 

“So three? That’s me, Gregory, and who is the third one?” I was hoping that at least one person from my team was here, that way I’m not the only one who got through.

 

“Well, her name was Lauren,” Twilight said.

 

“Wait, Lauren Faust?” I asked. It would make sense that she was the other human; that must be how she made the show.

 

“Yeah, she was the first one to come here. That was about 2 years ago, in our time. I’m told that our times are different,” Twilight said. “I’ve actually written a couple of books on humans thanks to those two, I’m hoping to find out even more from you too, did you come through the crystal?”

 

“Yeah, but I was with an exploration team, am I really the only one here?” I asked. I had always wanted to come, but I didn’t want to be here alone.

 

“I’m not sure, but we can ask around. Do you think that you can walk?”

 

“I can try,” I said. I got up from out of the bed and my legs were feeling much better.

 

“Oh, I forgot to ask, what’s your name?” Twilight asked, leading me to the door.

 

“It’s Anon,” I said. My parents were big Internet fans; I don’t really like the name myself.

 

“Oh, Anon. I feel like I’ve heard that name before,” Twilight said. She seemed to get lost reminiscing on the past.

 

We walked out of the door and I almost passed out again.

 

“Welcome, to Equestria,” Twilight said.

 

 

        “Hi! Hello! You must be new! I haven’t seen you around here and I don’t know you. I know everyone in Ponyville! My name is Pinkie Pie, what’s your name?” Pinkie Pie asked me.

 

        “I’m Anon. I’m just here visiting Equestria,” I said. I knew of all the ponies, so her quirky ways didn’t really faze me.

 

        “Oh, hi Anon! I’m going to go get a party started for you. We’ll get Vinyl to DJ for you. It will be the best party ever!” Pinkie Pie said, as she hopped away.

 

        “Don’t mind her,” Twilight said. “Wait, you knew who I was. Do you know all the other ponies?”

 

        “Well, you said that you wrote a few books on humans, Lauren Faust did a similar thing. She actually made a children’s show on you and your friends.”

 

        “All of us?”

 

“Yeah, you, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, and Fluttershy.”

 

“Don’t forget Spike,” Twilight said.

 

“Oh yes, Spike too,” I said. We had walked out of the hospital and all throughout Ponyville. Some ponies had stopped and stared at us, but most kept going along with what they were doing.

 

“So where are we going Twilight?” I asked.

 

“Well, you said that you wanted to find your friends. We’re heading to the pony who could probably find them the fastest.” Twilight said.

 

“Rainbow Dash?” I asked.

 

“Right, she the fastest flier in Ponyville, maybe all of Equestria. She’ll be able to find your friends in no time.”

 

After a little while of walking we got to the edge of Ponyville. Up in the clouds I could see a blue streak in the sky with a rainbow trailing behind it, it had to be Rainbow Dash.

 

“Hey Rainbow Dash!” Twilight called up to her.

 

She came busting down though the clouds landing right behind us in her classic pose from the show. Lauren Faust definitely got that right.

 

“Yeah, what’s up? Oh,” she said, turning her attention to me. “You’re another human aren’t you?” Rainbow Dash asked me.

 

“Yeah I’m…”

 

“We’re looking for his friends,” Twilight said, cutting me off.

 

“I see, then you have come to the right pony. I am the fastest flier in all of Ponyville. I’ll be able to find your friends in no time.” Rainbow Dash said, getting ready to take off.

 

“Wait!” I yelled. “You don’t even know where to start looking.” It was true, I had no idea where I had arrived in Ponyville, there’s no way Rainbow Dash could either.

 

“Actually Anon, Rainbow Dash is the one who found you,” Twilight said.

 

“That’s right! I was just flying around, practicing my Double Rainboom and I saw you laying on the edge of the Everfree Forest. I knew you were hurt so I took you back to the hospital. All I need to do to find your friends is search that area. And I’m not afraid of the Everfree forest so it will be a piece of cake for me,” Rainbow Dash said, taking off towards the forest.

 

“Did I hear someone say cake?” A voice said behind me. I turned around to see Pinkie Pie behind me.

 

“It was just Rainbow Dash, she was saying finding my friends would be a piece of cake,” I said.

 

“Oh, I love cake. You know where we can find cake? At your party! Come on, it’s all set up. Everyone is there but you, Twilight over here, and Rainbow Dash, wherever she went,” Pinkie Pie said.

 

“Oh Pinkie, we’re a little busy right now, would it be all right if we just came by later?” Twilight asked.

 

“No silly, the party is for Anon. We can’t start it until he gets there. Come on, everyone is waiting,” Pinkie Pie said, pushing me back towards town.

 

“I guess there’s nothing we can do,” Twilight muttered. “And besides, it’ll be a good way to relax while Rainbow Dash searches for your friends. You can meet the rest of the ponies there as well,” Twilight said.

 

“How do you know that they’ll all be there?” I asked. Twilight seemed very sure of herself.

 

“Oh, it’s a Pinkie Pie party, she’ll have invited the entire town, and no one can truly say no to a Pinkie Pie party,” Twilight said.

 

I had started walking so Pinkie Pie stopped pushing and led the way. After a little while of walking we arrived at a building.

 

“This is Sugarcube Corner. The Cakes own it, but they let me work here. It’s perfect, I get to make all kinds of cakes and cupcakes and pound cakes and round cakes and square cakes! It’s the best place ever!” Pinkie Pie said, almost talking too fast for me to understand.

 

Pinkie Pie walked into Sugarcube Corner and Twilight followed after her. Finally I walked in and was assaulted by music. Vinyl Scratch was sitting at a DJ booth playing music like she usually does and the entire floor of Sugarcube Corner was covered in ponies.

 

“Come on Anon, we have to introduce you to the other ponies,” Pinkie Pie said, appearing next to me out of what seemed like thin air.

 

“Howdy!” A voice called from the crowd. Apple Jack walked out of the dance floor and towards me. “You must be Anon. Pinkie Pie was tellin’ us that this party was for you. Welcome ta’ Ponyville,” Apple Jack said, sounding like a true Texan. She stuck out her hoof

 

“Hello,” I said, shaking her hoof.

 

“So what brings ya’ ta’ Ponyville?” Apple Jack asked me.

 

“Well, I was just exploring a rumor on Earth, where I’m from, about a way to get here to Ponyville. Unfortunately, something went wrong and I was the only one to come through as far as I know,” I said.

 

“Ah, well I wish ya’ luck in findin’ your friends. I have ta’ go find Rarity now so I’ll see ya’ around Anon,” she said, walking away.

 

I looked around at the ponies in the room. I still had trouble believing that I was actually here. I had a harder time believing that I was the only human here. I hoped that Rainbow Dash would be able to find my crew, just so I wouldn’t feel like I was alone here.

 

“Oh, excuse me,” a tiny voice called out to me. “Are you Anon? Pinkie Pie said that I should come say hi to you.”

 

“Hello Fluttershy,” I said, as I turned around. She gave a small squeal and ran away in the typical Fluttershy fashion. “Well, I should have expected that,” I muttered to myself.

 

I walked around the party; there were a few ponies that I knew and some that I didn’t even recognize. At one point I thought I saw the Cake baby ponies, but they looked a little more grown up. I shook hand and hoof with a lot of ponies and introduced myself.

 

“Well about time you made it to me,” A voice called out. I looked around and Rarity was standing next to me, looking me up and down. “Oh no no no, your outfit will simply not do. We must get you into something more decent looking for this party,” Rarity said, trying to usher me out of the door.

 

“Rarity, he can’t leave! This is his party!” Pinkie Pie said, saving me from having to leave.

 

“But his outfit is so uncouth, he needs to change. I can’t stand anyone wearing something so, unflattering,” Rarity said, grabbing at my pants.

 

“Hey!” I said. But it was true, I looked down at myself and I didn’t look that great. My pants were ripped up and smeared with dirt. I could tell that my hair was a mess and my shirt was in even worse shape. “Well, maybe I should go change,” I said.

 

“That’s the spirit! Follow me,” Rarity said, walking towards the door. Suddenly the door opened up.

 

“Stop right there Anon. I don’t have an issue with humans, but you can not stay in Equestria,” Celestia said, standing right in front of me. “You must leave here now, or be banished to the moon.”
