It has now been a week that I have been in Equestria. And oh what a glorious week it has been. You see, I verified that I did indeed have chaos magic; the cotton candy cloud I spawned in the other day was a dead giveaway. It was really fun to ride, though it wasn't very practical for travel at the moment what with how slow it moves. I'll be correcting that soon.

After that it didn't take long before I was spawning other things. I started off with food related stuff first.
Best. Day. Ever.
Though I noted that what I could magic up was limited to my own personal experiences and creativity. Well... that and the fact that the amount of magic I had itself seemed to be limited as well; though I could tell that my magic reserves were increasing slowly but surely. I would find myself drained within two or three hours of practicing my magic; less time if I did anything larger which was more magic consuming.

Other things that I have learned to do over the past week; I can teleport short distances which leaves some kind of vapor in the spot that I teleport from (I found out it's soda); I can create different colored bubble shields, each of which taste like hard fruit candy. Im currently working on shapeshifting, though I can only do small segmental transformations like turning all my teeth into fangs, of which I noticed that when I turned them back I had sharp canines that stayed. They look really cool and add to my overall cuteness. I am also much faster at flying now as well as being able to use my hooves much easier. I've spent quite a bit of time practicing with them.

I discovered pretty early on that I could still eat meat, which by the way I am very happy about.

Also I was able to get a better look at myself after spawning a large mirror. I really am cute, I spent a pretty long while just looking at my reflection and gushing over how my ears would twitch and move with every sound. But what really got me were my eyes. They were golden with small, red-slitted pupils. Remind you of anyone? They just added to my cuteness.

I had yet to get my cutie mark; my rump being completely bare of any image or symbol. But then again that's to be expected, after all I have only been in this world for a week. I'll get my butt tattoo eventually.

And I finally came up with a name for myself. While eating a root beer float it occurred to me that I needed a new name as I couldn't exactly use my old one. Half an hour later I had decided on FizzleFloat. The name was inspired by the root beer float that I was eating.

...

I woke up from my slumber, yawning while I stretched. After I had some practice with spawning everyday objects, one of the first things I did was make a small, comfy bed for myself; I couldn't really do anything bigger than that yet though. And let me tell you sleeping naked is really weird at first (And it still is)... and a little kinky too. It was quite an experience. I had taken to sleeping on my belly as it was much easier to do than sleeping on my back. Believe me i tried sleeping on my back; my tail dock kept getting pressed in uncomfotable angles whenever I moved.

Now fully awake I prepared myself for the day; i planned to finally go into the Everfree. I feel that I have a good enough of a grasp on my magic that I won't die immediately upon entering. Once I finished my breakfast of eggs, bacon (real bacon) and milk I headed off into the forest, intending to gather first-hoof information on its inhabitants, plant life and any relics and artifacts.

The first hour or two of my trip into the forest was pretty uneventful. I was looking at all the plant life I came across, taking samples from them with my magic, making sure not to touch them directly to avoid any effect, wether it be natural or magical, that they might have. I was taking them to study thoroughly at a later date. It was a while before I came across one of the Everfree inhabitants; a timberwolf. I watched it for a while, utterly fascinated by its appearance; the timberwolf hadn't noticed me yet, at least not until I started scanning it with my magic. When it felt my magic probing its body the wolf head snapped towards my direction, startling me which caused my magic to lose its connection to it.

We stared at each other for a few moments; I was confident I could take on this creature. It snarled at me... And now I'm slightly less confident. But that wasn't enough to scare me off. I braced myself, ready to fight.

Three more timberwolves emerged from the trees and stood next to the first; all three of them snarling at me as well.

I bolted away, the pack of timberwolves howled and gave chase.

I sped through the forest, flying around trees and over logs and other obstacles, attempting to get away. Occasionally I would blast magic at them, throwing random objects to slow them down. Most of which missed due to my panic, not to mention being distracted with dodging trees, trying not to crash. And whenever I did manage to hit one of them they just shrugged it off.

"Come on... ," I whined. "Just give up already."

But they continued chasing me, little by little they closed the gap between us. Eventually I reached a point where there was a small clearing and came up with an idea. Looking back to see where they were, i focused my magic, waiting for just the right moment. When the timberwolves stepped into the clearing I pulled up going higher in the air before spinning around and shouting, "take this you overgrown... uh, whatever you guys are!"

I threw a ball of condensed chaos magic which turned into dozens of giant jaw breakers when it hit the ground in front of them. They bounced for a moment before rolling across the ground; the timberwolves were unable to react fast enough to avoid them and slipped as the jaw breakers rolled under their paws, sending them to the ground with a loud crash.

Wether they broke apart or not I did not know; I didn't stay long enough to find out, simply putting all my effort into getting out of the forest.

I had my fill of danger for today.

When I reached camp I put the plants I collected into individual containers that I poofed into existence. Then I made a small cotton candy fort and hid inside of it, enclosing my camp in a bubble shield.

"I'll just study the plants I found later."

I stayed like that for the rest of the day and the entire next day after as well, hoping that the timberwolves would not find me.

A few days later...

I eventually got the courage to come out from my hiding place. The next few days I spent studying the plants I had collected from the Everfree; and by studying I mean that i stared at the plants for a few hours before realizing I had no idea how to go about doing that. I decided that the only thing I could do until I acquired a book on Equestrian plants was to experiment on them with chaos magic and see what the outcome was. I did this for a few days, writing down the results in a notebook. Each plant reacted differently to my magic; the smallest reaction being plants that could walk around on their own, I even made a few of them dance; the largest reaction, well... let's just say that getting chased around by a giant, mutant fly trap is really terrifying, I had put a little too much magic into it and it took me over an hour before I was able to put it down.

I stayed for a few more days at my camp, then I packed up and continued traveling. I was still following the edge of the Everfree forest. I had grown fond of my camp during these first few weeks, I was reluctant to go. But I know that I had to leave; I couldn't stay in this area forever. I'll have to come back here sometime.

I took my time while traveling, sometimes flying, other times going on hoof. Didn't want to become lazy from relying on my magic for everything after all. Within a few days I spotted a town off in the distance. And that is where I was headed. I'll try to find a library when I get there; it will do me well to study up on the world I was now living in and the potential dangers I might face.

When I reached the town I didn't go in right away; I decided I would scope it out first to see what I was up against. Using my hooves like binoculars (one of the few things that I had discovered I could do) I peered at the town. It was a very simple looking town, nothing really stood out. There were mostly earth ponies, only a few Pegasi and unicorns scattered here and there though I doubt they live here. And after spending a day watching the ponies and how they interacted with eachother I felt like I had learned enough of their mannerisms so as not to bring any unwanted attention to myself.

The next day I entered into town; I was wearing a saddlebag I had created; one that I felt was suited for a filly of my age. I decorated it with stickers, glitter and even a few of those hook on charms. I had a lot of fun putting it together, so much so in fact that I almost forgot what I was making it for.

Another thing I almost forgot about... my eyes; I couldn't go into town with them looking the way they did. So a few minutes of adjusting them in front of a mirror and I now had some pretty gold eyes with normal pupils. Now I was ready to go into town.

The town turned out to be Dodge Junction; it wasn't my first choice. On the way here I had to pass by the Ghastly Gourge which was an amazing sight; I had been following the train tracks (which I shall mention I only just realized that they were there while I was at my camp; don't know how that slipped by me), obviously keeping my distance from them due to it being very likely that a train would go by. I didn't want some good Samaritan pony to get it into their head that I'm a lost little filly in need of saving.

No, I want to avoid any situations like that.

After that I past by a town that seemed to still be in the construction process. Some of the buildings were finished but most were still being built by ponies. Most of the ponies were wearing stetson or some other kind of headwear; there were even some apple trees scattered about which I found a little weird due to the kind of land that the town was situated on. The ground was dry and dusty; not a very practical place to grow crops on. But, you know... cartoon logic. The town had a wild west kind of vibe to it.

Now back to Dodge Junction. The first day I merely spent my time by familiarizing myself with the town, jotting down any building that caught my interest so I could come back to it later. I never lingered in single area for too long, there were already the occasional glance in my direction. No doubt due to the fact that this was a small town, the kind where most of the ponies knew each other. Add to it the fact that I'm alone with no adult, I must stand out like a sore hoof.

I need to figure out how I'm going to deal with the no-parents situation. It was only a matter of time before somepony approached me.
