//------------------------------// // Entry 1 - Where Am I? // Story: My Adventures in Equestria // by Lotus Moon //------------------------------// Dear Azure, I...I don't know exactly how I got here...or where I am. I can't even remember what led me here. My memories are fuzzy, but bits and pieces are returning. From what I can recall, I was hiking and went for a short rest. I saw something strange, and being the curious person I am, I followed it. Everything went dark after that. Next thing I know, I'm waking up here...in a...a...hospital bed? It's so strange. I mean, I can hear movement outside my room door. But no one's come to check on me. What kind of hospital is this?! Looking around my room, I saw my things in the corner. Doesn't look like anything was stolen. My lucky water bottle is a little cracked (insert sad face here), I guess my sleeping bag got caught on a branch or something because it's ripped, my food might've gone bad because my bag stinks a bit, and my dad's old compass is pretty banged up. You would think at least my phone would survive (since it's never broken no matter how many times I've dropped it) but unfortunately the screen is kinda broken...and it's dead. Hopefully I can charge it and call my mom. I bet she's freaking out...not like she should be. I go hiking all the time by myself and nothing happens. But I think my luck might've run out this time around. I would get up and explore, since I'm really curious as to just where I am, but my leg hurts. I don't think it's broken, I probably twisted it doing...whatever it was that led me to this place. Hey, my camera at least survived. Maybe I can get some pictures. Looking out the window, I can tell wherever I am is really pretty. Would be a great addition to my scrapbook. Oh! It sounds like someone's coming. Better set up my camera quickly. I'm gonna give this doctor or nurse a piece of my mind. ***** through the camera "Mmm...almost got it...there we go! Ok so, video diary entry 1. Sounds like a doctor or nurse is coming to check up on me. Good! Because I have questions and more on my mind." I set my camera on the night stand next to me so it's facing the door. The doorknob jiggles a bit and opens. The muffled voices of what sounds like a male and a female become a bit clearer to hear. "Doctor, just what kind of patient is this? I've never seen anything like it before. Are you sure we shouldn't have reported it to the Princess?" The female voice asked. "Not until she woke up, nurse. It's clearly a female...but other than that, I don't know." The male voice said, walking in first. When the male came into view, my jaw dropped. Walking into my room wasn't a doctor, it was a light caramel pony with glasses! And behind him was a snow white pony with a nurse cap and their hair pulled into a bun. "Ah, seems our patient is awake. Nurse Redheart, would you mind tending to her?" The male asked. "Of course Doctor Horse." Nurse Redheart said, trotting over to my bedside. She checked me head to toe, checking to see if I had a fever, if my pulse was ok, if my breathing was right, and lastly seeing how my leg was feeling. "Everything seems to be ok, Doctor. The fever she had a few days ago seems to be gone." "Ah, that's good." The doctor said and finally noticed my still wide open mouth. "My dear, you should close your mouth if you don't want flies getting in." "But..y-you...you're...this isn't possible! Animals don't talk!" I sheiked. Doctor Horse and Nurse Redheart looked at each other confused before looking back at me. The silence in the room extended from a few seconds to maybe a few minutes before the doctor suggested I lay back down. To this, I shook my head and practically jumped out of bed before letting out a muffled whine for my left ankle which was still apparently sprain. "N-No! I have questions! Who, or what, are you? Where am I? How did I get here? And how long have I been here?!" After spraying off all of my questions in one breath, I panted heavily. Doctor Horse called Nurse Redheart over to him and they spoke in a whisper for several minutes before turing back to me. "Everything will be answered in time. Why don't you get back into bed before your leg gets worse. Just relax. We're gonna get you all better in no time." And with that, the two ponies left the room. I turn to my camera, mouth still slightly gaped open. "Um...I-I don't even know what to say at this point. Other than I'm in some strange world where ponies talk and have jobs! Where the heck am I and what kind of trouble have I possibly gotten into?!!" With that, I turned my camera off. and set it back on the nightstand before laying down. ***** written in diary Ok, Azure. Things have gotten weird! And as cliche as it is to say this (especially since I don't live there) but, I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore. I think I've just fallen into some kind of Alice in Wonderland type place...and I'm Alice. I hope I can find my way back out of whatever rabbit hole I might've fallen into to get here. And if I can't, then...I guess I'll have to get used to being in this strange new world.
