"So, basically what happened, was that I was a pony in a land called Equestria. A pegasus to be exact. My friend is an alicorn, which means she has both wings and a horn, and it also means that she is a princess. She's the princess of Magic, and one of the only 4 alicorn princesses in Equestria. So, she was going to try a experiment on me, but instead something went wrong and she shot me across the world to... well, to here!"
"Wait, so it's legal to just test things on your best friend with no good reason? Doesn't that like make you her test guinea pig? Because here it's definitely not allowed. It's called human testing, and if you ever do that you will be put into jail, or maybe even worse." Coco asked me, a hint of panic rising in her voice.
"Well, I mean, it's not like she was going to hurt me. She was just going to... um... do something. But, anyways, back to the story. So I got shot across the world to here, and that's when I landed in the fields. I was so hungry that I went around eating flowers that I wasn't even sure were okay to eat!"
"Wow. Here, we never. Ever. EVER. Eat flowers, even if we're dying of starvation."
"Oh... well, I guess it's a pony thing. So, when I 'collapsed' when you came over, I actually only fell asleep, because I was so tired. I guess flying half way across the world is tiring, whether you and physically moving yourself or not. So, yeah, that's all that happened."
After telling her what happened, she stared at me in shock. It surprised me, even though I didn't really know what I was expecting, maybe for her to call me stupid or to burst out laughing.
"Wow... so one of your best friend shot a ray of 'magic' at you and you shot half way across the world? Wow."
"Yeah... I'm not sure what's gotten into her. She was so... normal until then... I'm sure the spell just backfired."
"I know I'm not an expert on unicorn magic, I mean, I've never even seen a unicorn perform magic, but I think I can tell that that was not an accident. That sounds like a spell that only an alpha unicorn would be able to master..." Coco sighed, I could tell she was thinking about Twilight, and how she thought that Twilight had betrayed us.
"Look, Twilight has been our friend for... over 5 years. There is no reason for her to suddenly backfire on us like that. It just... It wouldn't make sense. It's - She's not like that. I know it's hard to understand since you've never even been to Equestria, furthermore met her...but trust me. She's one of the 4 princesses! Princess Celestia wouldn't choose her to be the forth ruler if she was like that." I shot Coco a pleading look, but I don't think she bought it.
"If you say so..." she said, then muttered something under her breath.
I smiled, and then realised that I was still hungry. Sure, I had eaten all of those flowers, but that wasn't really enough to fill me up. "Um... Sorry to bother you again, but do you think I could have something to eat? And even more, something to drink?"
"Sure! What do you like? We could go to Fast food, Seafood, Meat based restaurants, or just something simple with a bit of everything."
"Um..." I could tell that I must have looked really confused, because Coco was just about to open her mouth and explain. "Do you just have some hay or oats? Even radishes will do. Or some hayfries...Pancakes?"
"Right... I forgot you used to be a horse." She giggled a bit.
"Pony," I corrected her.
"Right. Well, anyways, we don't have any of the first stuff, but we do have the latter. There's Pancakes and other stuff like that if you want."
"That would be perfect!" I let out a relieved breath that I didn't realise that I had been holding - I was worried they would only have 'human' food, but I suppose ponies and humans do have some things in common.
"By the way," Coco pointed out, "You will...um... have to get rid of the wings. I'm not sure how... but I guess you can tuck them into your shirt... wait, never mind. I tried that but they just broke through the shirt. Do you think that you could keep them closed? Then at least it'll look like a shirt design."
"Sure!" I wasn't sure what was wrong with my wings, but it didn't matter. I suppose I should try to fit in while I'm here anyways. Speaking about that... I wondered how long I would have to stay here until I somehow got back to Equestria. Oh well. At least I have a nice pon- er... human - here who is letting me stay with her.
"Okay then, let's get going." She helped me up until I was on all fours, and then she said, "Um... here, we don't really walk like that. Can you stand on your legs?"
I looked at her confused, so she decided to explain it to me.
"The front to um... things are arms, and you back two are legs."
"Oh. Right. Thanks."
I tried to stand up on my hind legs, and ended up falling into Coco's arms.
"Oh, um... sorry about that."
"Okay, here we go." She held my hand and helped me up while I took a few steps. "You think you got it on your own?"
"Yeah, I think so. Thanks." Now that I could walk, that was all the basics... right? Nope. Coco obviously pointed that out when we got to the restaurant. I was staring at Coco eating her food, fascinated.
"Oh, right. Sorry, I forgot you aren't used to the human way of eating. Well, here, we eat with knives and forks, or spoons, which are called cutlery."
"Oh! The fancy ponies of high society, usually in Canterlot, who are unicorns eat like that!"
Coco smiled, happy that she wouldn't have to explain, but then frowned. "Why only unicorns?"
"Because, they have magic powers, and we can't exactly hold these things with out hooves. But, I guess with hands you can."
"Yup." She breathed in heavily. "So, let's teach you how to eat."
As we walked out of the restaurant, Coco asked me if I wanted to go to a cafe and get some drinks. Of course I said yes, because, after all, I had nothing better to do. As we walked through the door, I bumped into someone.
"Oh my, I am so so so sorry, I-"
I looked up to meet his eyes and as I looked into them I felt this dreamy sense that I had never felt before. He was... handsome. He had the most beautifully brilliant blue eyes that matched his blue hair, and he had a perfectly tanned skin tone.
"Um...hi." I squeaked.
"Hello," he replied. His smile was perfect too. He stretched out his hand to me as I took it and he helped me up. Then he just calmly walked past me. When I reached Coco, she had a dreamy look on her face.
"Did you see him? He was soooooooooo cute! And he actually talked to you! And you held his hand!" she squealed from excitement.
"I- he only helped me up..." I was blushing furiously. That's when I realised. Coco had a crush on him. And so did I.
This was not going to end well.
