//------------------------------// // Welcome to the Herd // Story: Changing your life... Forever. // by MangoDolphin //------------------------------// You notice something very strange. Not only your in a world of talking ponies, you have hooves! You decide to check if your either an earth pony, a pegasus, a unicorn, or even an alicorn! When you turn your head halfway, you notice a bright hot pink pony turning your head straight. "Hello!" she yelled. "My name is Mango Mixture Margaret Dolphin! You can call me Mango Mixture Dolphin, Mango Margaret Dolphin, MMMD, Mango, or even better... Mango Dolphin! These are my friends, Red Moon, and Steamwink!" The two ponies other ponies Mango gestured to you wave. You notice a wall-eyed, grey coated, blonde maned pegasus looking at you. "Hello, (Mister/Mrs)! My names Derpy Hooves!" the mare neighs excitedly. "Who are yo-MPHMPHH!!" You notice a light brown colt covering her mouth and pushing the pegasus aside. "Derpy, just don't jump up at new ponies like this. I'm sorry, (sir/ma'am), shes just very..... jumpy. My name is Doctor Whooves, or you may call me The Doctor." says the light brown colt, kneeling down gentlemen-like. Didn't you just contradict yourselves? you think, annoyed. Maybe they'll help, at least... "Hey, can you help me? I just... winded up here, and I don't know if this is a dream..? Or--" Suddenly, Mango bucks you. "Ow! What was that for?!" you shout. "You experienced pain, which means this isn't a dream." Mango says nonchalantly. Something tells you that this mare is going to be tagging to you like velcro. You finally turn your head and feel your forehead and notice... You have wings You have a horn You are an earth pony: Go to chapter 7. Mango thinks your too far in your imagination: Go to chapter 8.
