//------------------------------// // An expected surprise // Story: Looking for Equestria // by the darkside phoenix //------------------------------// I felt comfortable, I felt like I was laying in a bed, and I felt the sheets over my chest, I was to weak to wake up at the moment, but I could see a bright light hitting my face, I knew I wasn’t at the forest anymore the leaves where to deep to let so much light get in, I also knew I wasn’t home my room wasn’t that bright not even leaving all my windows open. I was curious about where was I but I was too weak after blacking out to actually stand up, after struggling for a while I finally opened my eyes, I was in a unknown room but at the same time it looked somehow familiar, it was a really tall room, big windows and white walls, the bed I was laying in was really big, bigger than a queen size bed really soft and comfortable, I wanted to stay there for a while but I had to discover where I was and even more important how had I got there. I stood up and headed for one of the windows I had a really hard time walking and I was still starving, once I reached the window I took a look at the outside I saw an enormous castle town and I noticed that I was in the castle, looking at the whole town I noticed that the architecture was unlike anything made by men, I knew I’ve never seen it or read about it in any book but it seemed really familiar like something I had seen multiple times, I couldn’t really remember where I had seen it. I heard some murmurs that seemed to come from a street market, turned my head to see where they were coming from, what I saw shocked me, I couldn’t believe my eyes, what I saw there were... were ponies just like in the cartoon, they were talking and haggling around the market I couldn’t believe it, I mean they didn’t look like the ponies from my world and the only reason for me to know that they were ponies was the show. When I first saw it I was skeptical I thought it was a dream or a hallucination anyway I blacked out in the forest and this scene just didn’t made sense, I now knew where I was, I was at Canterlot I still thought it was a dream so I tried to wake up in any possible way I could think of, I pinched my arm multiple times and I punched my stomach I normally felt pain so I tried other way, I tried to force me to wake up trying to open my eyes more than possible, I tried to make a lucid dream since I though I was dreaming and I had knowledge of it. Nothing worked, I sat on the floor trying to understand what was happening and I was still starving, it was just amazing what was happening, even if I started this trip wanting to find Equestria I never really thought I would, and now I was there without even knowing how or who had got me there, when I remembered the last thing I saw before blacking out I was curious of why someone or something would had took me there, specially to Canterlot´s castle. During the time I was sitting on that floor I though about who or what had took me there and where was he or she right now, I also though if Ponyville really existed, and if it was close, and if the main characters of the cartoon would be there, I was really scared of what could happen at that place but I was also exited to think that I was actually in Equestria. After a while I heard the door open and I was wandering who could be there, what I saw filled me with joy it was the blue floating mane, the same I’ve seen before blacking out at the forest.
