Just a note, this is my first story EVER (I don't even know how to correctly format it, in fact I don't even know when to start new paragraphs!) please be kind with comments and please give me constructive criticism/feedback.Thanks for reading =).
It was almost midnight and Dave still wasn't here. Letting out a sigh I leaned against a nearby tree, checking my watch again for the dozenth time, even though I already knew what it would say. I really hoped Dave would show up soon because if my parents found out I wasn't at home I wouldn't hear the end of it. Dozing I imagined possible arguments I would have with them if they found out, though my mind soon moved on to less stressful subjects.
A rustling in the trees above me broke me out of my trance and I pushed myself away from the rough bark fully alert, turned out it was only a bird. This is taking to long. Stupid Dave. Stupid comet. That was the reason Dave had me come out here in the middle of the night, to see some stupid comet. Astronomy was never my thing, but Dave ate that stuff up. Every day for the past week he has been begging me to come see this comet with him, never letting me forget that it only passed Earth every 100,000 years.
Looking up I glared daggers at the hunk of ice, frozen rock and whatever else comets are made of that ruined my night. It stood out among the stars; a red ball in the sky with a long tail trailing behind. It had an ominous look to it. My eyes seem to be playing tricks on me the comet started to glow brighter and brighter. Blinding light caused me to shield my eyes and look away. Everything around me glowed different colors of the rainbow. I stumbled back in surprise and tripped over something unseen. When I should have hit the ground I kept on going.
Anything solid eluded my grasp, my hand passing through only clouds. I had no idea what had just happened. One moment I was on solid ground, the next I was up in the sky. The fall didn't last long and I soon plummeted into a conveniently placed lake. Water took the place of air after I made the mistake of trying to breath, struggling to breach the surface of the lake. Being a lifeguard payed off as I managed to take control of the situation. Wasting no time I paddled as quickly as possible to the side of the water.
Cold water weighed down my cloths as I pulled myself out of the lake and collapsed in a heap on the grass. "I don't remember there being any lakes nearby." my voice was horse and my throat felt raw. I forced myself to get up and took a quick look around. I was in a small clearing with a lake in the middle of a forest it seemed like. There was nothing of interest, no wait that looks like a dirt trail over there. Still soaking wet I went over to investigate.
The path didn't go that far, it led me straight out of the forest and I was glad I had noticed it. Nothing looked familiar though and I still had the problem of not having the slightest clue of where I was. I was at the edge of some rural looking town. Passing by a cozy looking cottage on my way I decided I would first need to find out where I was then call Mom and think of some story to coverup why I wasn't in bed sleeping.
In almost no time at all I found the local library and the lights were still on.Yay for luck! It was Strangely though it was a tree house, not a little box in a tree you would play in when you were a kid, but it was actually part of the tree. I would have to find out how it was made before I left. Taking a deep breath I pushed open the door, bells jingling as I did so.
"Hello?" a feminine sounding voice called out from up the stairs
A chair screeched somewhere and I heard something comparable to the clopping of hooves on wood, was she wearing tap shoes or something. "I seem to be a bit lost and I was wondering if I could use the phone here to call my parents." There was no reply other than a small gasp. I turned to see who was there, it was my turn to gasp. Standing at the bottom of the stairs was a purple unicorn. A purple grow surrounded me and I was lifted off the ground, thrown into a book filled room, the door slamming shut after me. The glow disappeared and gravity suddenly remembered me, dropping me painfully onto the ground.
"Twilight, what was that thing?" A voice belonging to a little boy, or was it a little pony, questioned.
"I have no idea spike, I'll see if I can find anything about it in a book." the voice of the purple mare responded.
Returning to my senses I moved over to the door, peeking out of the keyhole. On the other side I saw the purple unicorn and a small lizard, maybe a baby dragon? Books were floating all around the purple mare being tossed aside as she searched through them rapidly, probably trying to figure out what I was. Unicorns and dragons, where was I? I'm obviously wasn't anywhere near home anymore. I thought of the strange event with the comet. Was I in a different dimension? Seemed pretty far fetched, but then again there was a talking purple unicorn in the other room.
The thump of a particularly large book being thrown aside broke me out of my trance. I tried the doorknob with no luck, it was locked. There was a window big enough for me to jump out of, that solved that then. Getting home was a different matter. Which direction did I come from again? The sky. I didn't see myself sprouting wings anytime soon so I would have to rule that out and find a different way. Walking over to the window I pushed it open, peering outside. It was still dark, and I was pretty tired. Looking around again before deciding to leave I noticed one brick of a book sitting on a table beside the door. On impulse I grabbed it, took another look around and slipped out the window.
"Maybe we should ask Fluttershy?" the young dragon suggested, and that was the last thing I heard.
I made my way back to the forest sprinting there to avoid any more run-ins with these unicorn creatures. In no time I was back in the forest. I was going to sleep, I had already decided that back at the library, but it wasn't going to be on the ground exposed. Finding a thick tree with big branches I quickly scaled it and settled down, wedging the book between a branch above me. Whatever secrets it held could wait till the morning, besides I couldn't read in the dark anyways.
Closing my eyes sleep soon claimed me, one last thought running through my head. If unicorns lived in the town, what kind of creatures might be in this forest, but I was to tired to care.
