Strange world

Chapter 1

"Dear whoever is reading this letter,

Today was just supposed to be like every other day for me. Woke up at my house, got out of bed, fixed up my messy black hair that's always unkempt, get dressed and head to school. I really can't think of anything else aside from breakfast with my dad and two friends rooming here for the day. Those two always seem to watch the weirdest things on TV before heading off to school. My friend, Maya, and her brother, Jason, both only 11 years old and still watching cartoons about magical ponies. Well, I really can't say anything since I watch shows about magic space gems fighting each other in some pretty interesting ways.
Oh yeah, I guess I should introduce myself. Sam Ohm. 15 years old. Average height for a pale white kid. Shoulder length black hair, green eyes, pretty scrawny, kind of a shut-in. Yeah, I know. I'm a walking cliché, sue me.
Anyway, right now I'm just about to head out and get to school to start another non-eventful day in this city. In all honesty, I don't hate this place. It's just really easy to not care too much for the crimes and drugs and gangs and dirty cops and pretty much anything else that I just forgot or glossed over. Eh, hell with it.
By now, I'm pretty sure you're wondering, just why am I telling you all of this crap. Well, one day on my way home from school I ran into a gang called - well I guess that's not really important right now - and while I was running away, I rounded a corner down an alley and tripped. As I was falling, there was this weird portal thing that opened for a very brief moment. You guessed it, I somehow fell into that portal and wound up here as a pony. White coat, black mane and tail, and for some weird reason a horn on my head. It took me some time to realize that I was in that show Maya and Jason watch, but right now, I could really use some help.
If anyone is reading this, then throw me a bone and help me get back to my own home. Please.

Signed, Sam Ohm."

"Okay."
The new unicorn pony said to himself once he finally finished the letter. Took him a while since he had no hands and didn't know how to use his magic yet.

Right now, among the many torn up pieces of paper, Sam finally had a pretty coherent letter that explained his situation. He was going to send this out to the small town off in the distance so he could get some help out of this maze of a forest. Only one problem, or more like a few that he just now realized.

1: How was he supposed to send this out?
2: He didn't even know where he was specifically, so who knows if the pony that gets this will even know where he is.
3: Sam was starting to get lightheaded from lack of food and running away from whatever was chasing him earlier.
4: Speaking of things chasing him earlier.

Sam heard rustling in the bushes and tried to stand up to run again, but his new body was working against him. He was tired, weak and hungry, a combination that was never good if you're trying to survive being attacked by Timber-wolves. Unfortunately, these were all the case when he saw three of the weird, wooden wolves coming out of the bushes for an easy meal.

"Man." Sam said to himself as he laid there, to tired to even come up with a good witty retort or a joke. "Never thought I'd get killed by trees."

The Timber-wolves pounced and Same closed his green eyes, ready for the pain. Pain that never came though. Sam slowly cracked one eye open and could barely see what looked like another pony running toward him. He could also see that he wasn't in a forest anymore. Instead, he saw that he was in the town of Ponyville somehow. The last thing he saw though before he passed out from being fatigued, was this purple pony with a horn as well as wings running toward him. He recognized her from the show, but didn't even know her name.

"Oh my gosh." She spoke out in a slightly frantic tone as she had just seen a strange new pony suddenly appear out of thin air. She stopped in front of the mysterious pony and looked him over before something caught her attention.

"Twilight!" A familiar voice called out to the aforementioned Alicorn.

Twilight turned around and saw two of her friends fast approaching. An earth pony and a pegasus pony. Her friends Applejack and Rainbow Dash to be more exact.

"Twilight." Rainbow Dash started as the two made their way to her and the new arrival. "What the hay just happened, and who's this?"

"I don't know Dash, but he needs help." Twilight started as she used her magic to teleport them all to the hospital. Upon their entry, one of the doctors came right up to them and saw the forth pony unconscious. "Take care of him. He somehow caused the event to happen and is injured." She told the doctor.

"Wait a sec Twi'." Applejack spoke up as the doctor stretchered the pony off to take care of him. "What do ya mean he's the cause of what happened?"

"Yeah, he doesn't look like all that to me." Dash spoke up as well, folding her front hooves together as she floated.

"I just have a theory so far as to what happened." Twilight started as she kept her eyes on the hallway where this pony had had been taken to. "He was at the center of it all when the beam hit. I just need some time to really grasp the situation before I make a final conclusion."

"Maybe waitin on when he wakes sugurcube?" Applejack asked her.

"Most likely." Twilight said to herself before turning. "Come on girls. Let's go and tell the others. I've got a bad feeling about this."
