How did I get here?!

Chapter 3: Discoveries

You held on for dear life as your unknown assailant hauled you through the air. You rise above the clouds, the only sounds you hear is the wind hissing in your ears and grunting from your kidnapper. As suddenly as you were picked up, you were dropped. Your assailants hooves dip downward and you slide off. Flailing your arms wildly you try to grab the pony. No use, you’re about to scream. Then all your breath is knocked out of you. You have landed on something hard, but you can’t see what it is. You feel around, seems solid. You cough hard as you inhale deeply. You notice the cloud moving around you. They begin to spin. Faster and faster. As the clouds begin to spin faster you notice a rainbow streak, which look to be spinning the clouds. A clearing starts to open up. A cone is forming, with you in the center.

Soon there are a couple feet of clearing and you stand up. The wind is blowing your hair around and you cover eyes to keep it out. Then, suddenly, the wind stopped. The rainbow streak has disappeared. You start walking to the edge of the clearing. About to enter it, a voice chimes out from behind you. "And just where do you think YOU'RE going?" You spin around to see Rainbow Dash's head poking out of the cloud behind you.

"What was all that about?!" You say in a raised tone.

"Relax; I just wanted to meet you for myself. To see if you’re as strange as ponies are saying."

"What's wrong with just walking up to me and asking?" You ask, putting your hands on your hips. You yank your hand from you hip. It's still painful to the touch.

"You were getting near town. I just didn't want to be interrupted." She replies smugly. "So, where are you from?"

You ponder the question for a moment. What should you tell her? There is no point of reference to tell her because you’re from a different world. So you just decide to tell her outright. "I am from a whole different world."

"Duh! I knew that!" She says with a laugh. "I just meant what’s the town your from called."

"East Grand Forks. It's a small town in a state called Minnesota."

"Cool! So how did you get here?"

"To be honest, I don't really know. I just went walking and all of a sudden I was at Sweet Apple Acres."

"Can you show me where you came through? I mean, if it doesn't bother you."

"Sure!" Your mind starts whirring. "What if I can get back home?" you ask yourself. "But, it would take a while to get there. It's a long walk."

"That's no problem! I can just carry you!"

You eye the enthusiastic pony with caution. "Don't you think I am a little heavy to be hauled around like that? You may hurt yourself." You warn her.

"Sure I can do it!" Then without warning, she flies at you and picks you up. Your heels drag the ground for a moment before she gets you fully off the ground. You exit the cloud going really fast. You can see the road a good distance away. "Wow! She flies insanely fast!" you tell yourself. You begin to recall the incident from earlier. She couldn't have carried you more than a minute before she dropped you in that cloud.

"I gotta tell you, I was a little surprised that you can walk on clouds. I didn't think you could because you don't have wings." Rainbow Dash tells you over the whistling of the wind.

Your brain does a double take of her words. "I was on a cloud!?"

"Yup! We will be at Sweet Apple Acres in a minute, hold on!" Dash says as she flies ever faster. You can barely hold on against the sheer speed.
