>You feel a hard thud as you hit the ground. >The fall takes the wind out of you as you lie there, dazed and stunned unable to recall what exactly just happened. >Memories of you walking home are hazy plus the rising churning feeling in your gut isn't helping matters. >You look yourself over to ensure you're not hurt. >No scrapes, bruises or cuts. >Shirt is still intact. >Blue jeans are fine >Red sneakers are looking good as new still. >So, unless you've got internal bleeding somehow, you're in the clear. You let out a sigh of relief as you slowly climb to your feet. >Your lungs haven't quite gotten all the air back from the fall so you're overwhelmed with a dizzy and disorienting feeling as you ride. It takes a moment but your head eventually straightens itself out allowing you check out where you fell. >And your first thoughts are to get your eyes check. >Everything is colourful. >VERY colourful. The bright, cheery colours almost strain your eyes to look at for too long. >There's some bizzare, barnyard themed homes all around you. Straw rooves, wooden frames and the same, simplistic theme on them all aside from a tree that looks to have been made into a home and a gingerbread house that seems to come straight out of the Hanzel and Gretel story. >A small part of you is curious if a witch, or at least an old lady lives there as you try to decide what the hell to do in this new, bizzaro-world.   ///Looking around was the majority vote.   >From the looks of things you're in a town square. >In the centre stands a tall, circular building that's brown and tan. It's as plan as any other building here but it has an official look too it. >Any nearby house is distance a short length away and there seem to be only two paths leading in opposite directions. From one, you can see a farm while the other leads to what you'd guess is a forest. >Or some kind of treeline. >You walk closer to the centre building and now you can see a few more homes that stand out from the rest. >The gingerbread home and tree house as well as a circular home that resembles a doll house in some ways. >A couple stalls are also set up, but they appear deserted. There's not a soul in sight so as a cold breeze blows through, you feel a chill. >You nervously rub the goose bumps on your arm as you look around more. >There doesn't seem to be much else of interest in the town. >In the window of one home, you notice a head pop away. You go to call out but a creature steps out, curiously eyeing you with its head tilted. >More and more of them begin to step out of the safety of their homes now. >They all seem to murmur to each other and most of them look just as curious and confused as you are. >Ponies would probably the most accurate description, each one is a different colour and mane style from the rest while a couple have some kind of an accessory on. >Things like bow ties or cowboy hats. >They don't really seem to stand out from one another as they all huddle in groups, unsure about what to do.   ///Say hi then go to the tall, circular building.   >You begin to feel more and more uneasy as you watch more and more ponies step out from their homes. >Still none of them try coming near you which just makes it creepier. Having all these ponies just watch. >You awkwardly raise one hand and wave. "Hi," you mutter. >One little filly waves back excitedly before their parent pulls them inside away from the creepy newcomer. >There are too many eyes are on you and you need to fix that. Now. >With the tall circular building being the closest, you hastily step inside. >The smell of wood and hay greet your sense as you step indoors. Inside is nothing more than an office. >There's a counter, some desks behind that stacked with papers, quills and stamps in a rather unorganised fashion. >Whatever this place is, it's got to have some around who can help you. >At least, you hope. "Hello?" You call out. >At first, it seems only you and your echo are here but suddenly a mare with a grey mane and a sandy tan coat pops up from underneath a pile of paperwork. >"Oh, sorry," she calls out she shuffles through paper to gain freedom, "Just a moment... All these forms for the... upcoming festival are--" >She seems quite flustered, her hair resembles bed hair, her collar is crooked and the bags under here eyes look more like suitcases. >She arrives at the counter before balancing some glasses on her nose so she can see you properly. >You wait as she blinks continuously. >Slowly, her eyes widen. >"I-I... What..." "Uh, yeah. So, it seems I'm lost. I kind of, somehow, woke up in the middle of your town." >She holds her pose, frozen almost as your words ring through her. >You may have broken her. >And for that, you feel a little bad. >"Oh," she exclaims before burying her head into another pile of paper. >Then she returns with a form in her mouth. >"You'll need to fill this out if you're new to Equestria."   ///Majority decided to fill in forms.   >Hesitantly, you take the form and look it over. >It seems to be asking for simple details, names, sex, occupation and up the top of the page it's titled, "Notice of Intended Marriage." >Your face feels flushed as you're overwhelmed with confusion. >You were expecting a residency form, a visa or something along those lines. >The mare places a quill and ink up on the counter for you before heading off to fix up a pile of paperwork. >She hums to herself as you place the form down. >Maybe she gave you the wrong form. >Maybe she's just REALLY into bestiality. >Would they even use the same word for that here? >Is that kind of thing even accepted here? >More importantly, why is this entire town populated entirely by ponies. >As you race from question to question, the mare returns. >"Is everything alright?" "Y-Yeah... Just, uh... Shouldn't I know your name first before we... you know." >"Oh, I'm Mayor Mare but why--OH! That's the wrong form. Sorry! It should be around here somewhere," she stutters as she scurries around the office, going from pile to pile. >As you watch Mayor Mare nervously stumble over herself, you can't help but smile. >"I didn't mean to give you that form." "It's fine--" >"I wasn't trying to suggest we--" "Look, I was wondering if you knew--" >"I'm sure you're a very nice..." >She stops and looks over to you, one eyebrow raised as she examines you. >"Now that I think about it... Just what ARE you?" >"Mayor Mare! Is everything alright?" Cries another mare with a sky blue coat and multiple streaks of colour in her mane as she flies in. >"Yes, everything is fine." >The blue mare lands and breathes a sigh of relief. >"We heard there was a monster in--" >Then she notices you and screams before darting back up into the air, well out of your reach. >"Is it safe?" She asks the mayor. >"So far he hasn't eaten, threatened or attacked me so I'd say yes. He seems mannered enough." >"What, as in, it talks?"   ///Introduce yourself to the "blue mare whose name you don't know yet" and ask more questions about where you are and about Twilight   >The two of you walk in silence for a moment before you feel awkward enough to break it. "I didn't catch your name earlier." >"Oh? I'm Rainbow Dash," she states proudly. "Cause of the hair?" >"Yeah." >And the quiet returns. >She's clearly not interested in talking with you but you have too many questions to just stop talking because one mare is disinterested. >Which is natural for someone who has arrived in a strange world they've never known of before. "So.. You fly? That's pretty cool," you comment, hoping to incite conversation. >"Well yeah... I'm a pegasus. Haven't you ever seen one before?" She replies in disbelief. "No, they don't even exist where I'm from." >"Huh... Interesting..." "Yeah..." >This time you decide to stay quiet and look at your shoes as you walk. >"Hey... Do you wanna race or something? It's just to the treehouse over there." >You look up to the tree house and grin. "Sure, I'm not one to turn down a race." >"One-Two-Three-GO!" Dash hastily shouts before flying as fast as her wings can carry her. >Her headstart catches you off guard for a moment but you're quickly on her tail. >"You're pretty quick." "And you're too slow," you retort as you pull in for the lead. >You think you hear her shout what as you kick it into overdrive and arrive at the tree house first. >A dumbfounded dash is right behind you as you try catching your breath. >"What the hay? Nopony has ever beaten me in a race before!" "Step it up, I'm not a pony." >"So, I never caught your name earlier." "You didn't? Heh, I'm Sonic the Hedgehog!"
