Only to squeeze them shut once more due to the blinding light of That damn ball of fire called the sun.   As you slowly open your eyes this time knowing its day time you realize your head phones are still on playing a song you don’t remember putting on your iPod   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIRNdveLnJI   As you turn off your iPod close to the end of the song the birds singing seem to grow louder, Making your mind splitting headache that much worse. "SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!" you scream hoping to make the noise stop. To your happiness you hear the birds fly away after being startled by your sudden screaming.   Taking in the sight of the woods you notice just how bright the green is in the trees, and how Much more vivid the colors are all around you. da faq is this shit?   Standing up to a number of pops from your body you reach down and pick up your tux coat and grab your sunglasses out of it. (Again not those cheap PoS sunglasses) dusting off your coat and slinging it over your shoulder you start walking yet again.  Hoping you're close to the edge of these woods. After another hour of walking to say you’re tired of the sun is an understatement.  Up ahead you hear the sound of a creek, "Fresh water" you say as you run to the source of the water.  You hang your coat on a low hanging tree branch and walk over to tiny creek. After drinking your fill, you dip you head in to cool off and slick your hair back. Sitting back you take another look at these extremely bright woods. After a few minutes you get up and grab you coat and decide to follow the creek. As you walk you realize you have no idea the time so you stick your hand out and pull out your phone checking the time. its dead, what a surprise... pissed and hangover you chuck your phone at a tree on the other side of the creek. Needless to say you missed. "OWW!" you hear second after losing sight after throwing your phone. With new found hopes that someone could lead you out of these woods and on to the main road, you jump the tiny creek. On the other side you dust yourself off and walk to find the source of the voice. "Who would throw such an odd brick at a lady" comes the voice again closer now. As you continue searching you hear the bushes up a head rustle. Not wanting to scare off this person (who knows they may think your big foot or some crazy shit like that) you decide it best to alert them. "Hello?" you shout in a natural tone hoping not to sound like a threat. To your surprise no response. As you come to a small clearing which you assume to be the source of the voice last you heard it. Looking around all you see is the back side of a white pony. Ok KNOWING that someone is around here watching their horse you walk up to said pony. "Um... hello? Anybody out there? I found your horse!" you shout hoping to find a little girl or something. "I beg your pardon?" comes a voice from behind you. Turning around quickly only to find the pony yet again. A quick scan shows no one else here. Leaning down to pet this horse you notice that its tail and main are purple. Oh yes must be a little girl around here! You think looking around more. As you pet this pony you yell out "i said i found your horse! I was wondering if you could tell me how to get to 65 from here I’m kinda lost. I assure you i mean you no harm so please come talk with me." Receiving nothing in return you go to pet the horses head and get ready to continue your aimless walking. After touching the head you realize, not only did the owner of this horse dye it’s main and tail purple, but also put a fake horn on it. Needless to say you laugh as you turn to walk away. "Only a ruffin would touch a ladies horn and walk away! Let alone call her a... a... HORSE!" comes a wining voice Quickly turning around to try and find the person who spoke you see only the pony lying on the ground with... are those tears!?!? You knew horses were smart because your uncle had some but to cry!?! "I’m sorry i made your horse cry miss where ever you are... please come out and let me make it up to you?" you shout hoping to get this little girl to come out and properly apologize. "I’m right here darling, if you can apologize to a lady properly i may just forgive you" comes the voice. You walk over to the horse thinking this is some joke; you bend down and touch its cheek. "Joke or not i being a man of my word, I’m ever so sorry for calling you a horse, please forgive me" you say trying to make this creature stop with the tears hoping the owner will come out laughing.   As this horse stop crying it opens it's... wow, those are the biggest blue eyes you've ever seen. No, blues doesn’t do them justice; sapphire would be the proper color. "It’s alright darling, i shall forgive you, but please realize i am a pony, not a... horse" speaks the ho...Pony.   "Did... you... just... TALK" not meaning to yell the last part back up. "No need to shout i am right here" says the pony This... it can’t be happening. Talking ponies?!? It... but... "But yes, i did speak to you. Whatever it is you...." is all you hear before you lose your shit. Not wanting to deal with this crazy ass dream you take off running keeping your head turned to watch the pony. There’s no way that thing can "WHAM!!"   Darkness. EVERYWHERE.   Through Rarity’s eyes -----   That, THING! Whatever it is, must have hit its head pretty hard. Knocked it right out.   Not knowing what it you, you slowly walk over to it, pick up a stick in your magic, and begin to poke it. After poking it a good 6 or so times you realize something is wrong and begin to worry. You quickly think Fluttershy could help. She is great with animals after all. Remembering a spell Twilight taught you not long ago you begin to concentrate, allowing your horn to glow it’s normal blue aura you open a mental ESP line with her. “Fluttershy, darling it’s Rarity.” You think. Knowing Twilight’s used the same spell on her before she responds quickly. “um… Hello Rarity can I help you?” even through mental communication her voice is so soft and timid. “darling I have found an animal that needs your help quickly, I’ll put up an orange flare so the guards don’t bother knowing it’s not an emergency, and you can find us that way.” You say “Oh… um… ok I’ll be right there.” Quickly cutting the line between you and her you begin to concentrate once more. Creating a bright orange ball wrapped in the blue magic aura. You quickly send it high above the trees. No more than 10 minutes later Fluttershy arrives. She quickly scans the area see the creature on the ground. *GASP*” oh my Celestia what happened here Rarity!” she says rushing to the animal. “It seems to be scared of little ol’ me, ran right in to that tree after I asked it not to call me a… a… HORSE!” *Cue Dramatic Faint* at least until you almost hit the dirt, quickly saving yourself, that was a close one! She takes a few minutes examining the creature when it lies. Soon after, she trots over to you. “We need to get this poor dear to a bed Rarity. All my beds a currently filled with bears, let’s take him to your house, if uh.. if ok that is…” Even when trying to help another animal she’s always so sweet. “That’s fine Fluttershy; we can use Sweetie bell’s room since she’s away with mother and father.” You say with a light smile. You love your sister, but really must she always come home so dirty? After a few moments of watching Fluttershy try and pick up this creature you sigh and attempt to lift it with your magic. “Dear Celestia this thing is heavy!” you say as sweat beads start to form under your horn. Seeing you struggle Fluttershy quickly dashes under it and pushes up relieving some of the weight. Needless to say carrying this creature back to your house was not easy. By the time you all arrived you were sweating pretty badly and probably smelled awful!  After assisting Fluttershy get this thing in to Sweetie’s room you made sure there was nothing you could do to help before running to take a bath and dear Celestia did it feel AMAZING!!! Just as you walk out of the bath room you see Fluttershy closing the door to the creature. “Is everything ok Fluttershy?” you ask as you walk over to her. “oh yes, he gave himself a concussion, the poor dear. I wrapped his head in bandages and left him to sleep. He’ll be fine once he wakes up, although in some pain from hitting the tree so hard.” “very well, he can stay the night, would you like me to notify you when it wakes up?” you ask, knowing full well what she’ll say. “That would be wonderful, thank you Rarity.” She says walking down the stairs in front of you. After reaching the ground floor you walk Fluttershy to the door, with a hug you ask her to inform Twilight of the creature. She simply nodded. With that Fluttershy walks off. It's still mid evening so it's not to dark out, she'll be fine walking home alone. “Rarity dear what have you gotten yourself in to this time…” you say, adding a sigh you close your door and decide to make yourself a small dinner. Nothing to fancy just a white rose sandwich. After your meal you quietly walk up stairs. You open the door to Sweetie bell’s room, only to see the creature is still sleeping. You decide to call it an early night as well. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, you can feel it.
