“Yo, Star!” I heard someone calling for my name. “Come here and solve this equation.” I looked over and saw it was Brutus.
“How about no,” I tried resisting his need for help.
“Aw, come on, I won’t tease you anymore.” He’s definitely bluffing.
“Ugh, alright,” I said undesirably. “But promise not to humiliate me with my name.” I went to his seat and analyzed the problem. Just when I was about to give up because I couldn’t understand the problem, I realized that he put glue on my seat and I fell for the prank.
“Haahahahahah!” He laughed really loud at me. “Got you again Star. But you still gotta do that equation though.”
“Aw, come on!” I yelled as I tried getting off of his chair. The chair slipped and I hit my head really hard knocking me unconscious.
“Wake up! Wake up! Come on, wake up!” I felt someone shaking and yelling at me.
“Oh, it was just a dream,” I thought as I weakly got my sense back.
“Ugh, where am I?” I finally woke up and as I rub my eyes I saw what looks like a horse but I really couldn’t see clearly because the sun was casting a shadow over it.
“R-Red, is that you?” she gasped as I tried to stand up.
“What?” At that moment I realized that the horse creature was talking. “What the? What did you say?”
“I said is that you, Red,” she said.
“A talking horse.” My mind was officially blown.
When my eyes were finally able to adjust to the light, I was able to get a good look at it. I noticed it had a smaller stature much like a baby horse. It had a bright orange color and yellow mane. Another thing that made it look vaguely strange was that it was wearing a hat.
“To be exact, I’m a pony, an earth pony.” She smiled at me.
“Waaaaaaah!” I screamed at the top of my lungs. Well, almost. “What are you? What is happening?!” I tried to get away from it.
“Calm down, calm down.” The orange pony was slowly walking closer to me. “It’s fine. I know this sounds a little strange to ya, but you have to calm down now.” She lowered her voice. “Somepony’s gonna hear us,” she said after she put her “hoof’ on my mouth.
“W-wait”, I tried to remove her hoof as I resisted her from pinching my face. I raised my hand to try to push her away, but I didn’t see my hand, what I saw was a hoof. “What the?”, I yelled seeing that I had a hoof instead of a hand. I also realized that not only had my hand been changed but my whole body also. Additionally, I had a dark yellowish-brown color and a red mane. “What the hell happened to me?! Why am I a pony too?”
“Well not exactly a pony...” she raised her hoof towards my forehead. That’s when I realized I had a horn, “but a unicorn.” “What is happening to me?” I exclaimed.
“Maybe, ya’ll understand better if I take you to Twi. Follow me. Oh, and by the way, the name’s Applejack and welcome to Ponyville”, she said smiling then gestured me to follow her.
“Alright. But wait, I don’t know how to walk or trot or whatever that is you do while walking, using all fours.”
“Uhm, it’s just like this.” She tried to show me how to walk like a pony and also added some other stuff I needed to learn on being a pony. Luckily, I’m a fast learner so we were done in no time.
“Thanks.”
“Aw shucks, it’s no biggie. It’s a pleasure to finally see you again, Red.”
“Oh, my name’s Owen, not Red,” I said.
“Huh? But your real name when you were born is Red, Red Star. I guess they used a different name when you were brought there.”
“What are you talking about?”
“Huh? Oh I see. Hehe” she chuckled, “I guess you were never told. Well you see, you were born a pony, not a human.”
“What?!”
“That’s not all. I’ll just have everything be explained by Twilight in a jiffy when we get to her house. It’s right o’er there.” She pointed to a large tree with many attributes of a house. “She’s great at explaining stuff… as long as you’re used to long, dull lectures,” she added.
“Don’t worry, I’m way sure I can handle boring lectures” I said rolling my eyes. I imagined that this Twilight person… err, I mean pony would be similar to my math teacher who was exactly like Applejack described Twilight. Except Twilight’s a pony and Ma’am Bea is not.
