Chapter 2: Arrival
I woke up with absolutely no idea where I was. I was in pain, so much pain I couldn’t even open my eyes to look at my surrounding. I lay there silently, until I heard a faint grunt to the right of me. I could recognize that voice anywhere.
“B-Blake?” I said, my voice raspy with pain.
I could tell by the sounds he made that his condition was not much better than mine. We just lay there with our eyes closed, but then Blake said to me, “Dude, wha-what happened?”
“Don’t be alarmed, but I think we may have just died.” I said with doubt in my voice.
“No way, you wouldn’t be talking to me right now if we were dead.”
We both sat up and rubbed our faces violently to wake us up from our deep coma. I opened my eyes to see a dark cyan colored Pegasus with a blond slicked back mane. It looked back into my eyes and we screamed louder than we ever have before. I looked at the pony and shouted, “What are you and what did you do with Blake!?!”
“Dude I am Blake,” he responded. “I think we turned into ponies!”
I looked down hoping to see a normal hand which was now the hoof of a pony. At this point I was freaking out, I didn’t know what I was gonna do. Blake raised his hoof and slapped me in the head and turned my head toward a village he had been staring at. He faced me and said, “It’s Ponyville, we- we’re in Equestria!” I faced back toward him our mouths both gaping wide in excitement. We both pranced around overjoyed then we both jumped as high as the trees were that pounded each others hooves and shouted, “BROHOOF!”
“You’re a Pegasus, can you fly?” I asked while I gestured flapping wings.
“I can’t seem to move them, It’s a new limb I don’t know how to move yet. Well your a unicorn a you make that stick over there float?”
“How is this magic even supposed to work? Ugh they make it seem so easy in the show, oh well we will find things out soon enough.”
We began to head toward Ponyville and I realized I didn’t even know how I looked in pony form so Blake and I found a mirror in the window of Rarity’s dress shop. I looked a myself and i saw a very handsome unicorn with a swoopy brown manecut and a tan coat. Rarity walked outside of her shop noticing me looking inside and said to me, “What is a handsome stallion like you doing looking in a dress shop for?” My cheeks turned red and I said to her, “I was just looking at your beautiful dresses madam...”
“Rarity” She observed me for a while then her face lit up as she said, “I have just the thing for you!”
The white unicorn then ran into her shop and brought out a pair of thick black reading glasses. She placed them on my nose and stated,
“They’re perfect on you!”
“Oh thank you Miss Rarity but I’m afraid I cannot afford to buy anything right now.”
“You don’t have to pay darling you’re new here, and think of it as a welcoming present from Rarity.”
“Why thank you Miss Rarity, have a nice evening”
“Oh you too darling and please call me Rarity”
Blake and I began walking again and he looked at me very strangely. Soon enough I noticed his staring and asked him what was wrong. He got a very proud grin on his face and said, “She seemed to like you a lot.”
I nodded and said, “Why would she like me; I’m a no-pony, and Rarity is very picky about her stallions.”
“Well maybe your her pick.” Blake said with a smug grin.
I just rolled my eyes and then fixed the glasses that were currently falling off my face.
