I hurt all over. I opened my eyes and looked around. Where am I? I wondered.
I did my best to stumble to my feet... or hooves?!
"Wha-?!" I let out a startled cry.
I looked down in befuddlement at my hooves... What on earth?
I spotted a pond nearby and walked clumsily over to it. I looked at my reflection. My brown eyes were the only thing I recognized. I was a freaking pony. The kind I'd seen in some tv show. What was that show called? My Little Pony? I wasn't sure.
I had a soft yellow coat and a purple mane, they kind of contrasted each other but at the same time... it looked pretty cool. Then, I noticed I had wings, which meant I wasn't a pony, I was a freaking Pegasus. The feathers were mostly the same yellow as my coat but the tips of the feathers were pink. I also had some weird mark on my pony butt... thing... whatever. Anyway, it was a heart with a rainbow trailing behind it.
I was still really, really, really puzzled. What is going on? Where am I? Why am I a pegasus pony thing?
Just as I was pondering this, another thought occurred. Does this mean I am dead? Did I actually die?
"I'm so screwed." I sighed. "Hey, I still talk the same... I still have my own voice." A slight sense of relief came over me for a moment. "But I AM lost...." I frowned and the confused feelings returned.
I looked around, taking in my surroundings.
It was sunny, the sky was blue, the grass was green, everything was like a fairytale world or something. It was all perfect and happy. All the happy, sunshiny-ness was making me feel sick.
I picked a random path and started wandering along it. I tried to get some sense of direction or even just a sense of where I was. But it was pretty hopeless.
A new idea occurred to me, maybe I could fly with my new pegasus wings. With a few test hops, skips and wild flaps of my wings, I realized that flying wasn't going to be very easy.
I flapped harder. After several clumsy attempts and falling on my face a few times, I decided it was better to just give up.
Instead, I resumed walking along casually. I looked around for signs of anyone that could possible be of help to me. Anyone.
When I wasn't paying attention to where I was going, I stumbled and fell into a random hole in the middle of the path. It was suspiciously pony-shaped and had burn marks in and around it. I climbed out quickly, using my wings to give me a slight boost. I circled it for a moment
"What's this even here for?" I wondered aloud.
A rustling noise caught my attention. I turned my head just in time to see a pony lunge at me from some bushes.
With a cry of surprised fear, I flapped my wings once hard and shot upwards just before they hit me. Clumsily, I managed to fly and land a few feet from them. "What was that for?" I demanded.
The other pony, who had landed face first in the dirt, shifted. "Ow..." A guy's voice came from the sprawled out black pony with a green mane and tail. His mark was a horseshoe and a pistol. "I should've know that wasn't a smart idea." He stumbled to his feet.
The way he spoke clicked instantly. "Are you... Texan?" I frowned in confusion.
"Yeah." He looked at me in surprise and confusion. "How'd you know that?"
"Your accent... duh." I rolled my eyes at him.
He frowned. "You wouldn't happen to be from Earth, too, would you?"
I sighed in annoyance. "I am. How I got here... now that's something I don't know."
"Last I remember... I was in a car and someone's car hit mine..." He looked at me in puzzled, thoughtfully and yet strangely kind curiosity.
"I jumped off a building. " I said coolly. "My guess is that we're dead or this is some kind of screwy limbo."
"What?!" He looked stunned, then sad. "But I have a life and a family and... wait... what if..." He looked excited. "What if this is Equestria?" He grinned at me.
"Equestr-what?" I was the confused one now. "Where is that? What is that?"
"So you're not a Brony?" He looked at me somewhere between curious and confused.
"No... I'm not." I was getting really annoyed now. "What is a Brony? I've never heard of it."
He shook a hoof as if to wave the subject off in dismissal. "Never mind that. It's beside the point. Who are you? Um, more accurately, what's your name?"
"I'm Caitlyn." I answered automatically.
"Nice to meet you, Caitlyn." He smiled at me. "I'm Austin."
......... Austin from Texas? Was that joke intentional?

Sorry. :/ I made it on my computer and it's not good. I was going to replace it after I get better at drawing ponies.
1765676
It's actually... named after a guy named Austin, that I know, who is from Texas. So it was not intentional but... at the same time it was... if that makes any sense at all.

Yepp. But, sadly, sometimes people don't realize that.

I'll try harder in the future!
