Chapter 3- Walking in Another's Hooves

“What do you think, is he OK?” “This must be one of those humans I've read about!” “OK y'all need to just step back now. If he wakes up, he don't need to be surrounded by all of us!” “Ohmygosh, he so TALL!” Voices floated around in my head. I wasn't sure if it was real or a dream. So I decided to do the only thing I really could do. I opened my eyes.

I saw the Mane 6 ponies standing around me. I also saw that a white female pony with them that I didn't know and I was in a hospital. The white pony walked over and said, “How are you doing, young one?” “I..” I stammered. “I guess I'm okay. What happened to me?” The purple pony walked over. “You fell though the roof of my house.” She said smirking. “I'm Twilight Sparkle. My friends are Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash.” At the mention of their names, they said “Hi” but not much else. Then suddenly Pinkie saw my hand. “WOW! You have my cutie mark on your hand! Hey guys! Look at this!!!” As they all looked, Twilight suddenly asked, “Where are you from? Are you from Earth?” As I started to fall asleep, I realized in shock, “I....don't remember..”

1 week later.

One thing I will say about Equestria, the ponies can adapt well to different things happening, such as a human alicorn falling from the sky. But, I digress. The Mane 6 had been very kind to me, in helping that the residents of Ponyville didn't start freaking out at the sight of me. (They started to, but Twilight stopped that.) I had lost all of my memories prior to falling into Equestria. I remembered my name, my sword, how to fly(barely) and use my powers(also barely.) I also remembered the word, “prince.” All of the ponies had been working to help me adapt to living in Equestria. In fact, it was Rainbow's turn today...

“Wake up!” Twilight yelled. I rolled over on the rug and said, “Go 'way. Tired.” She then proceeded to levitate a glass of water over my head and dump it on me.	

“Okay! I'm up!” I yelped. I jumped up and shook myself off.

Twilight laughed, “You can't be late for your date with Rainbow! She'll be waiting for you.” 

I blushed, “It isn't a date, Twilight. “We're just going to fly around Cloudsdale. “I bet.” she said. “I've seen how you look at her when she isn’t looking.” “Twi!”. She laughed and walked downstairs.

After she, Spike and I had finished eating, we heard a knock on the door. “I got it, Twi.” I said, walking to the door. Opening it, a rainbow colored blur rushed in, knocking me to the ground. 

“Come OONNN!” Rainbow said, flying in circles. “Geez, are all humans this slow?” “Rainbow!” Twilight said, walking in. “Don't say things like that!”

“It's fine, Twi.” I said, jumping up. “Come on Rainbow.” Rainbow knocked me in the head and flew out the door. “Have fun, Starlight.” Twi said, with a mischievous smile. I shook my head and walked outside, shutting the door. 

Rainbow showed me around Cloudsdale,(It was BEAUTIFUL). We finally reached the racing track. “This is where I've been smoking people since I was a little filly.” she said. I looked around a bit and smiled. “So you say you're the fastest flier in Equestia? Wanna race?” I said. “Sure, if you wanna just lose!” Rainbow said.

Fluttershy was in Cloudsdale, so she counted for us to start. “3...2....1...go?” she said in a soft voice. Rainbow and I took off. As we flew, I couldn't help but admire Rainbow. Even in the middle of a race, she still looked beautiful......Focus Star! As I almost hit a cloud, I heard Rainbow laughing at me. As I flew after her, I felt something hit my back between my wings.....HARD. Suddenly I wasn't able to fly and I fell like a rock. “Oh nooooooooo!!” I yelled. “Rainbow! Help!” But as I fell, I saw a shadowy figure heading toward me...
