'Where am I ?

',thought Rarity.Rarity rubbed her eye with her hoof and examined the unfamilliar room.Rarity knew this wasn't her room from the moment she opened up her eyes. It was well organized. Everything was in the place and not a speck of dust to be seen.If Rarity was somepony else, she would have squealed in delight and would have thought that a prince came to her and brought her to this room but Rarity wasn't just anypony. Her eyes were wandering all over the room when suddenly she heard a muffled voice coming from the back of her door. It was really hard to understand what the voice had said. It would have been because the pony was using highly standard words or it was Rarity who was not fresh enough to even understand since she was still eight.All Rarity could hear was three simple yet unexpected words that surprisingly shocked Rarity."Moved" "Canterlot" "School".

Rarity was shocked that her eyeballs nearly came out.Rarity never dreamed about going to Canterlot before nor had she ever thought about living as a sophisticated pony with highly standards. Rarity was just a pony who has a mane of a color intermediate between black and white, as of ashes or an overcast sky, a white pale yet brighter than the gloomy clouds coloured coat and two round eyes that represent the dullness within her, no sign of eyelashes and no colour was shown in her irises. Everypony who had ever saw her would have thought she was a colt but never really dared to say it aloud.Rarity didn't care and just roll with it.In fact, the one thing ponies don't know is that Rarity is a unique and interesting mare with inspiration and generosity to share. She shook her head and shrugged.Rather than wasting time thinking, Rarity did the only thing she could do by that time and that was slowly bouncing out of her bed.Rarity stared at her posture and was merely disgusted by how unclean she is.'If I'm living in this whatever this place is, that means I have to be just like this place tidy, clean and grand.. Well, nevermind grand..Clean and tidy is enough to make a mare shine' Rarity opened the door slowly as it made a small creak. She peeked through the hallways and was in awe to what was in sight. The hallways were decorated with real gems that shone in the brightest way. Every wall ha picture of a pony that Rarity thought she was familiar with.'Enough mesmerizing this place Rarity..You can stare at this longingly after a trip to the bathroom'. Rarity went out of the room and made one last look at it to make sure it was not left ajar. She began her search for the bathroom. She ran from door to door.'Why is the bathroom so difficult to find?'

I After a minute or so,she finally found it.She twisted the door knob using her hoof as her magic wasn't strong enough.She closed the door behind her and breathed calmly. To her surprise,the thing she was staring at wasn't a mirror but some sort of device. She stepped away from it and looked around.The bathroom was empty.'This isn't a bathroom..'thought Rarity while she banged her head at the door.She accidently stepped on something slippery and feel backwards. Her hoof accidently pressed a little button while she was falling. Rarity's head was spinning like crazy and she can't see clearly .The device suddenly lit up and the whole room was changing its form.The floor changed into white tiles and the once device changed into a toilet, bathtub and a sink.Rarity felt a wave of magic levitating her across the bathroom and into the bathtub.The water was magically turned on and before Rarity knew she was as crystallised as the crystal ponies not that she knew existed that time.She was dried up and her mane was styled up.Her hooves were sparkly. Rarity had never been that clean since forever. She looked at the clock that suddenly appeared out of know where and jawdropped."B-b-but how?I-I..W-W-what?" Rarity whispered to herself.She was too shocked that she couldn't think properly.'I think I may or may not lost my marbles in there.'

Rarity was shivering and straight to the door.Rarity grunted and turned the door knob furiously.She slam the door shut.Her heart was beating like a concert.'I regret everything I had just done today.If I wanna end this the day faster. I ought to sacrifice even harder.And...I don't think I can take it but what choice do i have....right?'thought Rarity.She was about to explore and collect more data about the place when a soothing voice called not far from where Rarity is standing."Rarity,darling are you awake?If you are, please do so kindly come join us here below for breakfast and if you have any questions we might have the slightest idea how to answer them.That is if you want to come for breakfast."Rarity had so many questions running out and about in her head.'Where am I?Who was that?Where is mum?Where is my little sister?How did she know my name?Theres a ground floor for this place?'Rarity shook her head.'The sooner you meet these 'friendly' adult ponies,the sooner you'll get food and most importantly answers.'Rarity sniffed for the smell food.As soon as she found, she followed the scent.Rarity was closing her eyes when doing so.Suddenly her hooves felt air and light as she opened up her eyes and looked below.She saw stairs.Rarity sled rapidly down the stairs.Rarity finally was on the ground falling on her rump. She once again opened her eyes and saw a tall steady figure.'You-are....'

"Hello there....Rarity'







And with that Rarity fainted...
