//------------------------------// // Realization // Story: Good Luck to You // by PotatoManiac //------------------------------// When I woke up, it was the middle of the night. I saw a light coming from the backyard. It was shining through the window. I walked outside to find the origin of the light. I searched the backyard for the light and saw a dimming light coming from below the trampoline. I managed to push the trampoline a few feet aside. The light was a large circle, lying flat on the ground. It was slowing fading away as I looked at it. I leaned closer to see if there was anything to be seen in it, but I lost my footing on the muddy grass, and slipped into the hole of dim light. As I seemed to fall down the hole, it got darker and darker until… thud! I think I was unconscious for a little bit. It was dark. I stood up, but something didn’t feel right. I felt… shorter. I also felt like I was on all fours. I stared into the darkness until my eyes adjusted. Once they did, I looked around. I was in some type of woods. I looked down at my feet, but failed to see any. I looked behind myself. I obviously had a tail. I stared straight into the darkness and thought. Putting pieces together, I’m surprised it didn’t hit me sooner. I had, somehow, while falling down that hole of light, became a… a pony. I had mixed emotions at the time. Excitement from me being a brony, confusion from how I’m a pony at all, and worrying about anyone who would wonder about me back at my house. I tried to walk. I went in circles, trying out my new way of traveling. It felt almost the same; I got used to it in a few moments. I was a earth pony, so I probably had to walk my way out of these woods. This forest was somehow spooky. I couldn’t put my… hoof on it, but it was scary in some way. I looked for a trail or something to lead me to an exit. I saw a light coming from the end of a path. As soon as I spotted the light, I went charging in its direction. I had a habit of not thinking things through, because as I ran towards the light going full speed, I realized that the exit was blocked by a thin wall of hanging briars. I had noticed the briars far too late, and blew through them will all my speed.
