Chapter 1: A brand new day
“Finally! School is out for the weekend, thank GOD!” I say as me and my other friends go out of the middle school to head to our old school, the academy, for something we were planning on doing.
“So....we are going to the academy woods right?” My friend Miles asks me.
“Yes, we are going to try to find that old building we have heard was back here, remember?” I ask wondering if he actually listened to the long conversation we had previously had at lunch.
“Yes, I was just making sure.” Miles says as we make it up to the spot we are heading to. The woods in the back of this school have been home to theories and mysteries that made a lot of people fear going into here. We, being the kind we are, go in there anyway to find that old shack that was part of one of the horror legends we have heard of repeatedly.
“Bridget? Did you bring those cutters I asked you to bring?” Sarah asked the fourth member of our party.
“Yes, I still don’t understand why these gates are made so you would need barb-wire cutters to get through them” Bridget says because she has been thinking about it for a while. Me, Miles, and Sarah don’t understand it either but don’t really care too much. Our thoughts are focused mainly on trying to see if that legend is real or not, and if it is what is in such a described house. The legend goes like this, in the woods where the trees have curvy branches and creepy face carvings, a hut awaits. Within the hut, remedies and witchcraft magic are made and performed. Now, the legend explains a lot, but the true look and stuff that occurs within it is what we are looking to discover. We travel around the woods for about an hour, not finding anything and we believe we have searched every meter of the forest.
“I think this legend is a big bust, there is nowhere we haven’t looked in this forest and it is becoming night. We should head back and call our parents to pick us up.” I say rather disappointedly. We all sigh in defeat and start trying to find the way back.
-BOOM-
We all fall into a pit we didn’t notice making a huge noise and falling unconscious. We were unaware, since we weren’t awake, that we landed in some sort of magical area..
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We finally awake, after about an hour, and the first thing I notice is that the forest looks different. I go out of the pit and start looking around near it.
“Why the heck does this place bear a resemblance to the Everfree now?” I ask to myself but sarah hears.
Sarah stirrs, "That does seem a bit wei-" she groans, getting up. She freezes and looks at me with shock, "Ch-Chase, LOOK AT YOURSELF!" she gasps.
“What do yo-” I start to say but end up stopping as I turn around and see Sarah as a pony.
“What the.....who.....WHAT?!” I cannot even complete a thought because my mind is numb from so many things happening at once. I look at myself and realize I am a blue and black pegasus. I do glance at my flank to see what I have as a cutie mark and I am not surprised to see a pen and paper there. I was actually a bit happy to see I am exactly what I wanted, because I am never going to be able to change what I am now.
Sarah stood there, just spaced out. She was now a black, bat winged Pegasus with violet dragon eyes. Her tongue was forked, and fangs jutted out over her lip. Her mane was a golden blonde with black tips, and her bangs hung in front of her left eye. She blinked and spun around to look at herself, her high-tops clicking against the ground. Her cutie mark was Ouboros, the dragon that eats it's own tail. She sat on the ground, not able to think. We both try to think of what happened but the only thing we know is that we fell into a pit and we are here. We start hearing Miles and Bridget stir and we get ready to try to explain all we know. Miles awakes first with a shock seeing two pegasi near him.
"Before you ask, I am Chase and she is still Sarah. We all transformed into ponies.....we are still thinking about why." I say to him before he starts asking who we are. He is just as confused and examines himself as well. He is a green earth pony with a notepad on his flank. Just like before, him and me are one in the same.
Sarah just continued to sit there in shock, not responding to any of her friend's actions. Her eye twitched.
“Ugh.....” I hear Bridget say, a relief to me because she finally awoke, and she does the exact same reaction as all of us before her. She is a midnight-blue unicorn with violet locks and a drawing board and colored pencils on her flank.
Sarah sighs in relief, she is glad her best friend wasn't wounded in the fall. Her head is little foggy, but she is otherwise alright.
“Alright guy/gals, listen. I have no idea how we got here or anything like that. We just need to focus on getting out of this forest first. When we get out of this forest, we will work on what to do afterwards.” I say to the group that has finally got focused. We follow a path in hopes we find Ponyville soon. We have problems walking on our hooves because normal human walking cease to even be the slightest of help here. We get ourselves steady, and after about half an hour in learning how to walk, we continue down the path.
“I wonder if a pony will be at the end of this path” Miles says thinking about episode one of FiM.
“I would bet a pretty penny there would be somebod-somepony coming just because of the average going of events in these situations.” I say, speaking logically about the matter. We finally see a light out in the close distance and we gallop towards it. We run into a familiar pink, bubbly pony(more like crash into, great entrances) who notices we are new.
“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie!”
