Why do I hear birds and why do I feel the wind? Okay, there is something wrong because I could swear that I fell asleep in my own bed or did I? This is the last time I drink alcohol.
I tried and open my eyes but the sun was too strong so it took me a few minutes before I could see, what I saw was blue sky so that was good. I tried to get up in a sitting position but it was difficult when you have proper headache. I put a hand on my head.
"Fuck, my head where the heck am I?"
I looked round, I was in a forest but it was dark it looked like it was night, strange. But the big question is, how did I get here? Am I in one of the forest on Cornelia? No, I'm sure that I'm not. Then where the fuck am I? Take it easy the first thing I must do is find a city. I tried to stand up but it was not easy but I managed it eventually, not easy with a hangover.
But which way should I go? I looked up in the sky to see where the sun was, because the sun rises in the east so I will go in that direction. When I took my first step, I fell right down on my face. Luckily I landed in the grass, I was in worse shape than thought. I managed eventually to get up and began to walk toward east, I hope.
I don't how long i walk but it feels like hours and besides, I was hungry and I had a hangover so I was glad when I saw an opening in front of me. What I saw was trees, so many apple trees. So much food no I can not take them, there are someone who probably owns these apples. But I'm so hungry, I take one and only one.
I went to the closest tree and picked one and tok a bite of it. God, this must be the best apple I have tasted in my entire life. I finished it very fast, I was going to take one more but I did not get that far.
"Stop thief."
I turned to where voice came from and what I saw was a hoff coming towards me, I barely dodge it. I fell right on my ass when I managed to see who attacked me I saw a horse with clothes and it was a girl.
"I'll teach you to steal from the apple family."
"Wait a moment I did not know that these were your apples."
That made her stop and one thing was sure she was shocked.
"You can talk? But foxes can't speak."
"Sure I can talk, you are a horse and you can talk."
She did not like that I said that.
"I am a pony not a horse."
"Sorry."
I finally managed to get a look at her. She was dressed as a contry girl and she had a brown Stetson hat, her fur was orange and her tail and hair was blonde and she had green eyes
"Look, I'm sorry that I took an apple but I'm hungry and I have a hangover. Right now it feels like someone is using a hammer on my head."
Suddenly I saw a hand in front of me, it was her and she had a smile on her mouth.
"Let me help you up."
I did not know if I could trust her but there was something about her smile that made me trust her so I took it , she help me up.
"Sorry I attack you."
"Forget it, you were protevting what was yours. My name is Fox McCloud"
"Applejack."
"So can you tell me where I am?"
"This is Sweet Apple Acres just outside Ponyville."
Ponyville? That was a strange name, but I've heard worse.
"You said you were hungry?" I just nodded my head. "Well then you're lucky I was just going to eat dinner with my family and you can join us if you want."
Ok this is weird, we just met and she invite me to dinner.
"Just like that?"
"Eeyup."
"Ok lead the way."
She began to walk in the opposite direction and I just follow her. We passed many apple trees, how she knew where she is going is a miracle.
"So Applejack who is the rest of your family?"
"Well it's my big brother Big Mac, my little sister Applebloom and Granny Smith."
It only took a couple minnutes until I saw a red house with a barn beside it, she lead me to the house and we went inside. The inside looked like a normal house a living room, kitchen and a staircase that went up to the second floor. There were also other ponies there, a red stallion and an old mare in a rocking chair, I think she's sleeping.
"Wake up Granny Smith we have a guest."
"I'm up."
She got up off the rocking chair and straight towards me, she had her face right in mine. How old is this pony?
"What is your name sonny?
"Fox McCloud."
"You look a little strange are you sick? Because you do not look like a pony."
Okay now she is scaring me and I have seen many dangerous things in my life thank goodness that Applejack saw it. She got Granny Smith away from me
"Granny you scaring him, he's not a pony he is a fox."
"A fox? Are you pulling my leg?"
"No Granny i'm not, but he has a hangover."
"A hangover? That can we fix, Applejack find the cure."
Now was really nervous, I did not know what this cure was. Applejack went into the kitchen to grab something she came to bake with a jug and a spoon, she poured a liquid in it and gave it to me.
"Take it and drink."
I was a bit unsure if I should do it but strangely enough I trust Applejack. I took the spoon and just looked at the liquid, here goes nothing. I swallow everything and it did not taste good.
"What the hell, what's in this?"
"This is a family recipe, it cures hangover. Tomorrow you're going to be fine, Big Mac you can help me with dinner while Applejack can get a little better acquainted with new coltfriend."
"GRANNY."
With that they went into the kitchen with the stallion which must be Big Mac.
"We can wait in the living room.
With that we went there, I sat down in the chair at end of table and Applejack sat in the couch.
"Sorry about Granny she is very old."
"Don't worry about it, but why did she thought I was your 'coltfriend'?"
"She thinks that I work too much and that I do not get out much."
After that none of us knew what to say but then I saw a guitar in the corner, I went over to it.
"Is this your guitar?"
"No, it belonged to my father. No one in the family can play."
"Can I?"
She just nodded her head, I took it up gently and went back to the chair and started playing a song I learned a long time ago. When I was finished I got a standing applause and there was a new pony in the room she had yellow fur and red hair with a red bow in her hair.
"That was amazing where did you learned to play?"
"Applebloom, when did you come home?"
"Right now, so who are you Mr fox and where did you come from?"
"Applebloom how many times must I say that you should be kind to our guests."
"Sorry Applejack."
I just smiled at her curiosity.
"Dinner is ready."
That was Granny Smith who called from the kitchen, I put the guitar gently on the table and followed Applejack and Applebloom to the kitchen. When I saw all that food I actually started to drool, I wiped away my drooled on my arm. They just laughed at me.
During dinner they asked me where I was from and how I got here, I told them about Cornelia and about how I ended up here. I'm not sure if they believed me or not but I have no reason to lie. They told me that I was in Equestria, who comes up with these names? They offer me to let me sleep in the guest room for the night, these pony are to kind. When we were finished eating, it was dark outside so I went out and get me some air.
I've always liked the night over the day to watch the star and look up in space, suddenly I heard the door to the house open and out came Applejack.
"What are you doing?"
"Just enjoying the night."
She sat down beside me on the stairs.
"Ever since I was a little boy space fascinated me, I said one day that I was going to see everything that was out there."
"I'm not sure if I believe all that you said during the dinner but I do not think you're lying."
We sat there in silence for a while until Applejack sa something.
"I'm sorry I attacked you, I was surprised when I saw you I thought that you were something that came from The Everefree Forest."
"Don't worry about it, we all make mistakes in life, we just have to learn from it."
I would have liked to said more but I was tired, I yawned. Applejack just smiled.
"Tired?"
"It's been a long day, I spent a few hours to get out of the woods."
"Follow me, I 'll show you the guest room is."
I followed her in and up on the second floor.
"The guest room is the last room on the left."
She opened the door to the room is not much to say about the room a bed, dresser and a closet.
"Good night Fox."
"Good night Applejack."
With that she closed the door I went over to the bed and took off my clothes except my underwear and lay down in bed. I just lay there a while and thought about what has happened today but the big question: who transported me to Equestria?
After a while I fell asleep.
