I collapsed onto my bed, my long dirty blonde hair swirling around me, landing on my face, shoulders, and back.
"Whoo!" I sighed happily, pushing back my hair and sitting against the pillow. I gazed across the room at my mirror, and saw a tanned skinned girl looking back. My eyes are a sparkling blue, my mom always says its a light blue, like a calm sea.
I had just finished one long day of gardening. My masterpiece took up over half of the backyard, but my parents don't mind a bit, for the beauty of the garden outdid anything that they've ever seen, and I'm not even exaggerating. The compliments over neighbors and guests never ceased.
I love flowers, and every plant that has ever existed... except for weeds. They're kinda annoying. I know tomorrow is going to be a big day, which is why I spent all day gardening. My favorite flower is going to bloom, livening up my entire garden. The flowers leaves are so green, they look like a light blue. The petals have a rose red inside, but as it goes out it gets a lighter color, going from blood red to bright pink. I have to be there to see and support it. I could barely contain the excitement.
I ran into the bathroom and had a quick shower, washing all the dirt off of my body. I then pulled my hair up into a neat ponytail, and headed to my room. I slid into my favorite soft, baby blue pajamas, and discarded my work clothing into a basket on the other side of the room. I snuggled under my soft covers and shut my eyes. I heard my mom walk into the room, and kiss me on the forehead.
"Good night sunshine." She whispered.
"Night Mom." I murmured, already half asleep. I heard light footsteps exiting the room, as the air conditioning unit in our home lulled me to sleep with it's rhythmic hums.
In my deep slumber, I skipped through my garden, smelling all my flowers. Even in the dream, I could smell the sweet aroma of wonderful flowers. They had so many hues, and were colorful beyond description. Like a rainbow, but much more vibrant, and you could actually reach out and touch it. I felt the dream fade as I woke up under the sun. I was lying on my back, on a grassy hill.
Another dream. I tried to stand up, but I wasn't used to four legs. Wait... Four legs? I yelped, quite shocked. I raised my legs up, and saw four cute, thin baby blue legs. Weird dream. I struggled up, and eventually found myself standing in front of an equally surprised looking pony. The strange thing was, her coat was sunshine yellow with a pink that covered half her face.
"W-where did you come from?!?" She asked in a very shocked voice, her mouth hanging opened. I shrieked, very shocked at the talking pony. I lost my balance on the hill, and tumbled down the hill, landing in a small pond with a big splash. The water was freezing, and my back actually ached from the tumble. That was when the truth hit me.
This was no dream. It was real. I was now wide awake, eyes wide. I must be going insane. I dragged myself out of the water, shivering.
"Are you alright? You look terrible!" The yellow ponies said in a worried tone. I looked at my reflection in the pond and gasped.
I was looking at a wide eyed pony with a yellow and blue mane, and a blue coat. My eyes were still that same gentle blue. Was that a horn poking out from my mane? I turned to the yellow pony, very slowly, still shivering from the cold.
"I-" I started,"What happened?"
"I don't know," The pony said, with a honest voice, "I was just..." She stopped abruptly and looked at me, "I can't stand watching a little filly shiver like that! Come lets go to my cottage." She picked me up like I was simply a doll, put me on her back and started to fly up the hill. That was the first time I noticed she had wings. What was that called? A pegasus?
When we finally got to her small cottage, she hurried me inside, obviously she wasn't very good at flying, for her wings were sagging, and she winced in pained. She put me before her fireplace, and gave me a nice blanket, after drying me with a tower. This pony was being so nice to me... and I didn't even know her name.
"What...What is your name?" I inquired, still shivering, but not because I was cold. It was because this whole situation had really had me shaken up. I was in complete shock.
"Fluttershy." She said, smiling at me. A cold hand seemed to take hold of my heart. This pony was reminding me of my mother with every action. Her facial expressions she made towards me, her kind gestures. I felt my lip quiver. Tears flew from my eyes. I didn't like to cry, especially in front of people...er, ponies I did't even know.
"My...my mom....Gone." I blubbered,"Everything I love!" Fluttershy's face became gentle as she stroked my mane.
"There, there." Fluttershy whispered.
"What were you going to tell me back there?" I asked her, trying hard to hold back a sob, I had to get a hold of myself!
"Well, what I wanted to tell you was I was just minding my own business, taking a stroll around Ponyville, when suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a giant purple burst of magic, and you appeared. You were just lying there on the hill, kinda calm at first, but then... well, you know what happened after that."
My eyes widened in shock. She had said the word "magic" as if it was normal. "Is magic a common thing?" I asked.
"Well," Fluttershy started," My friend Twilight knows lots about magic, but I've never seen ponies randomly popping up around here. Where are you from? Manehatten? Fillydelphia?"
"Earth," I said firmly,"I'm from Earth."
