//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: New Life // Story: Eternity // by mili71 //------------------------------// Chapter 1 My life wasn't all that good to begin with. But it just got worse. I was an ordinary 6th grader at Holden Jr. High School (don't look for it, it isn't real), when I got sick in school. Great. Those bullies are going to be all over me again when I came back to school on Monday. Except I was going for a long ride to an unexpected destination. When I got home, my mom put me straight to bed. Like always when I get sick, she put a large bottle of water by my bed, an extra pillow, my cell, and some food for later. "Call me if you need anything, sweetheart. ANYTHING!" Mom said. "Yeah, mom, I will. Thanks." "I get it, you're tired, I'll go." She left the room, closed the door then left the house. She was right: I was tired. I barley had enough energy to do anything. So, almost right away, I fell asleep. I had a strange dream. A dreamt about six colorful ponies. I vaguely remembered the dream, so I put it out of my mind. At least, for as long as I could. Because that dream became a reality. I woke up, but I wasn't at home, in my stuffy room. I was in a meadow. Was this another dream? It should have been. I wish it was. But it wasn't. You know that dream about those six colorful ponies I told you about? The problem? I was a colorful pony. Don't believe me? I know exactly what I looked like. I had a pale pink coat, with dark pink hair with white highlights. And I had large wings. Wait. Wings? I'm a Pegasus? I stood up and started to walk around. It was actually beautiful. The grass was soft and green, bees and butterflies were flying around the good-smelling flowers. I opened my wings. Yep, still large. I started to fly. I gotta say, flying took some getting used to. At the start, I was running into trees and crashing to the ground. But after a little bit, I got a little used to it. To the point where I didn't crash and burn. I did some flying around, and I came across a city in the sky. A floating city? Made of clouds? How much weirder can this world get?! So I was walking in the town, and I saw a welcome sign."Welcome to CloudsDale, the greatest city in the sky?" I said out loud. That's when I realized: I was standing on clouds. I was prepared to fall to my death, but as soon as I realized I wasn't going to die, I stop panicking. After walking around for a little bit, a pony crashed into me. Hard. I saw what the pony looked like. She had pink eyes, a cyan blue coat, and a rainbow mane and tail. "Heh, heh." the pony said."Sorry about that." She took a close look at me."I've never seen you here before, I'm Rainbow Dash, and you are...?" I looked at a pink crystal heart with wings on my hip, that could make a good name. "My name is.... LoveFly."
