How Did I Get Here?

Chapter 1: Where the...

CHAPTER 1

Wind.

All I felt was wind.

I opened my eyes, and they immediately began to water, but they eventually adjusted to the rush. I was falling. Fast. I panicked at first, but remembered that I was skydiving for my 16th birthday. I felt around for the release cord on my parachute, and yanked it. The cord was in my hand, but no parachute came out.

"Uh-Oh..."

I yanked the emergency chute cord... Nothing.

"Oh... Dear..."

I only managed to yell.

"PARACHUTE NOT WORKING!"

I was falling towards the ground, which was now visible from below the cloud line. It looked... Strange. Almost cartoonish. But I payed no mind to that, and instead focused on the ground directly below me, which was getting much bigger, VERY fast.

"No... No. No, no no nononononono!"

I flailed my arms and legs around in panic, hoping I might be able to grab the clouds. But then I saw a blue dot swooping below me, and I landed on the dot.

I opened my eyes, and looked around. I still felt the wind... But I was moving FORWARDS, not falling.

"What the..."

I look down, and I see powder blue wings, a body, and flowing rainbow colored hair. Some strange creature had just saved my life.

"Umm... Excuse me?"

Big mistake.

The flying blue... Thing... Turned its head to look at me, and its eyes widened. "What the hay are you!?!??!"

"What the hay? What a silly thing to sa-"

I was cut off by the fact that I was flying towards a barn. I was screaming, but fell silent as soon as I hit the side of the barn with a mighty CRASH. The last thing I heard before I blacked out was, "What th' hay was that? Rainbow Dash, what did ya' do now?"

I woke up, slowly opening my eyes. Everything was blurry. I shook my head, and stared at the ceiling. I was at my house, on my sofa... But something felt... Off. As if someone, or something, was watching me. I slowly got up and turned my head...

Thanks for being understanding. I just have a LOT of serious and bad things happening to me. I actually only had 10 minutes to write the first chapter. but to day I have a huge chunk of free time, so I should get chapter two and maybe chapter three out.

[Primordial Deomontus]

OK i complained about so many chapters but i don't care anymore they are short and good

[StrykertheZombie]

He acted....casual.

[banjo2E]

Most of this chapter works if you approach it from the idea that the protagonist is convinced he's dreaming and is therefore applying dream logic to the situation, but Dash really should have reacted to a weight falling on her back BEFORE it talked.

chapter 1 audiobook + chapter 1 text

[SuperChaosKG]

[TenshuraX]

Hey again, long-time reader here checking in after first chapter retreading, my reason - to be honest I'm currently depressed and I just plain wanted to

[MuangMuang]

Go to The Equestria?
Best birthday gift EVER.

[butterfield pancake]

Knowing me I'd pack a backpack full of My Little Pony FIM plushies I own [Spitfire for instance

[Toobert]

[Dustchu]
