Vinyl woke up laying in the grass. She sighed and rubbed her eyes.
"Well, this is at least better than waking up to an alarm clock", she said as she stood up, shaking the grass off her back . She looked around, noticing she was in a forest environment, as trees were all around her.
"Am I in the Everfree forest?", Vinyl asked herself. "It's not as dark or dense." She walked around a bit, not seeing anypony as she explored. She started to get confused, as she has never seen any forest anywhere in Equestria that was like this. As she continued to walk, she noticed a cloud of smoke rising into the air from the distance.
"Huh?", Vinyl said as she noticed the cloud. She looked at it, as the thoughts went threw her head. "FIRE!", she screamed and ran off. Then she stopped herself. Maybe it wasn't a fire. Perhaps it was the lighting of the many fireplaces down in Manehatten. Perhaps she had simply switched locations as a result of the machine. So she started to gain up courage and started to walk threw the forest.
Vinyl trotted through the forest as she made her way to a clearing, so she could clearly identify the smoke cloud. Vinyl had never been in a forest before. The only reason she knows anything about forest's is from Octavia, who sometimes has to go threw them to get to a Cello recital.
"Man, this is such an adventure", Vinyl said to herself happily, trotting threw the forest with a skip in her step. Then she stopped and thought to herself about the possibility of there being spiders. Vinyl hated spiders. So then Vinyl steadily slowed down as she continued to make her way threw the forest.
After roughly forty minutes of walking, Vinyl was finally about to see a clearing. She ran threw the rest of the dense forest, as she was eager to see what this cloud could be. Perhaps she had gotten close to a dragon's lair and this is his smoke. Or maybe it could, as she would've thought, Manehatten. But as she stepped into the clearing, what she saw in the distance made her question her times in the city, as this looked nothing like Manehatten.
"What the hay is this?", Vinyl said to herself as she looked at the city. "Is this really what Manehatten looks like, now? I don't remember any of this." Ahead of her was a tall, elegant city with large office and civilian buildings. The London Eye was rotating slowly, as it does threw-out the normally for the people of the city. Big Ben's clock tower rang as it stuck twelve PM. Vinyl questioned her memories of the city as she looked on.
"Perhaps I should get a closer look", said Vinyl, as she started to trot down a path. She questioned her motives as she walked down, but thought that the possibility she was still in her world was high. If this really was an alien planet, wouldn't the lack of Oxygen kill her, as she remembers the Sci-Fi books she loved to read as a filly. Vinyl shook the thoughts out of her head, thinking this maybe be some Griffon city. She would just walk up and ask them to send her back. Simple as that, she thought to herself. So she cleared the thoughts of a new world out of her mind as she walked down the path.
As she approached the city, she came across many odd creatures on the street. Vinyl paused, as she looked at them. They stared at her back. They seemed to be some kind of hairless ape, as their skin was visible and had no fur at all, only on their heads and occasionally their faces or legs.
"Uh..hey, guys", Vinyl said awkwardly, as she tried to smile at the creatures. Suddenly, one of the female creatures screamed and ran off. The other creatures just slowly walked away from her. "Huh", she said to herself, as she continued walking. This was going to be an odd occasion.
As Vinyl walked, the thoughts of a new world came back into her head like an explosion. Tons of different ideas played out in her head of the situation, and she couldn't pinpoint an exact one. Vinyl was slowly starting to freak out, since what if she was in a new world? There might be no way to get back to Equestria. Or her friends. Or Octavia. She sighed and continued walking.
"What are these creatures?", Vinyl thought to herself as she walked. She felt so alone out here; an outsider, somepony who doesn't belong. She sighed, as people along the streets either stared at her in confusion, or muttered about themselves.
As the day started to wind down, Vinyl walked down into an alley. She came across an old, beat up couch with holes in it. "Well," she thought, "I suppose this'll be better than sleeping on the ground." She climbed up onto the couch and laid her head on her fore-hooves as she stared up into the sky.
Would she be sent back? Will she ever seen Ponyville and Tavi again? "The ponies would have to know of my disappearance", she thought to herself, "I'm sure Celestia and Equestria are already finding some way to get me out." She smiled to herself at that thought, then it slowly melted away, as homesickness surrounded her in a sheet of sorrow. She curled up on the couch to get warm and closed her eyes as she descended into sleep.
