    The pony gang got on all fours and found it increasingly difficult to walk around, they combined different ways to try and move. After twenty minutes or so the gang found that the best way to walk was to just walk on the flat pads on the ends of their legs. They flexed the strange appendages and furrowed their eyebrows in confusion. Applejack's stomach rumbled and she stooped down on four legs to take a bite of the grass. She recoiled and spat out the soft green fibers as soon as they had entered her mouth. All the other ponies thought that AJ was overreacting and bent over to take a bite too. But they spat it out as well and rubbed their tongues on the ground for good measure. The grass was so bitter and inedible, for some reason they were unable to eat the things that they would've eaten regularly before. They tried eating flowers and leaves but the results were all the same. Each pony tried to rub the tasted out of their mouth as they contemplated why it would taste so horrid. But Twilight was the first to catch on.

"I think we're in a different dimension!"

All the others mumbled for a minute before coming to the conclusion that, in this case, was the most reasonable answer. The strange appearance, the inability to eat plants, the lack of wings and horns. It would be the only reasonable answer.

"But what are we? Ah can't hardly tell!"

Twilight put her head in her hands and rolled her tongue around in her mouth, their appearance seemed familiar. She had seen it in one of her books but couldn't quite remember the creatures name or the title of the book. She closed her eyes and scrunched up her face in thought. Come on Twilight! You're the student of Princess Celestia! Of course you can remember something as trivial as this! She thought long and hard and then a light went off inside her head.

"We're humans!"

Everyone let out a loud "HUH!" before Rainbow Dash collapsed laughing. She started to cry, the tears rolled down her cheeks and splashed onto the ground underneath. Rainbow recollected herself and stared straight at Twilight.

"Twilight we all know you're an egghead and you like to read books, alright? But humans are just an old mare's tale."

"Rainbow, you have to believe me. Plus, people said that the sonic rainboom was just an old mare's tale. It turned out to be real. So how can you say that humans aren't?"

Rainbow Dash sat there with a blank expression. Twilight had shown her up and she did have a point. There wasn't any other creature that looked like this. After a few minutes of an uncomfortable silence a loud growling sound came from AJ's stomach.

"Ah don't know 'bout ya'll but Ah'm mighty hungry, maybe enough to try an' eat grass again. We should get a movin' an' find a town or somethin'." 

All the others nodded in agreement and got to their feet. It would be best to find some shelter and food before the sun set. So all the used-to-be ponies gathered themselves up and started walking east, hopefully they would find something at the end of their long trek.
