I Hate Ponies

by Shadow Speck

Greeted by Rainbows

The woods were peaceful with birds quietly chirping and windy blowing the green leaves. As I walked the dirt path through the bright woods, I realized that I hadn't been this relaxed in years. There wasn't much life besides the butterflies, birds, and the occasional rabbit or two.

It felt like I was walking for who knows how long, and my legs were starting to get a bit sore. Strangely enough the sun had barely moved from where I first saw it. Sitting down on a log to the side of the road, I noticed I was wearing the same clothes as the day, or whenever, before. They were slightly dirty.

Then suddenly, the silence of the peaceful forest around me broke as I heard a distant sound. It sounded to me like an airplane flying over. Standing up, I then walked over to an opening to see what it was. There over the hills in the distance was a small creature, soaring through the sky very quickly. Behind it was.. a rainbow.. Nothing like I'd ever seen before.

"It's just a dream." I said to myself, watching the rainbow at it loomed an arch over the horizon. Probably just some rainbow unicorn creature that will come down and fly me away to some magical candy land.

The rainbow started dashing high into the sky past the clouds. I lost sight of it until it came back down below them. Then the jet flying noise started the grow louder, and the magical rainbow horse started going faster, and faster. I watched it soar down the sky like watching a roller-coaster drop.

Then, all of the sudden, a huge burst of light flashed before my eyes. This was then followed a second after by a blast of sound, pounding onto my chest and in the forest around me. The trees swayed, followed by dust and leaves blown everywhere. I fell to the ground, and I felt the pain of it.

"Holy hell," I said out loud, "This is no dream."

I looked back up at the sky to see a huge mark in the sky of all colors. It was like a firework, but twenty times cooler. I traced back up to the figure that just created this awesomeness. I could only see the rainbow it was leaving behind it was the only thing I could see. It was closer, and sort of had a light-blue look to it. Now, it started doing all these really cool tricks. Spinning, twirling, and zig-zagging at speeds that made me a little dizzy. Now, only flying in the air about a quarter mile from where I was standing and watching it, I could see that the figure was colored light-blue, and did not look like a human or any sort of plane. It looked more like an animal, with feathered wings.

Whatever it was, it was flying closer to me now. I could see the creature better as it started to lose speed. It did a few more twirls, and started zig-zagging again, but it looked like it might have lost control. Then suddenly it took a quick nose-dive towards the ground. The cyan colored creature then took a sharp turn towards me, probably because I was standing in the open.

"Watch out!!" It shouted, heading right at me.

I think I was out black for a few minutes. Nothing felt broken, maybe just my chest that got impacted by an animal flying incredibly fast. No, it was just bruised. I sat up to look for the creature that collided with me. Right from behind was a creature of a light-blue coat, darker pink eyes, feather wings open, and a rainbow colored mane. It was about half my size. Immediately I recognized it from the fifty pictures the bronies sent me days ago.. It was one of the ponies from the show I so despised.

"Are you alright?" It asked me with a slight smile. "I sorta hit you pretty hard back there."

I sat up to gather my thoughts, still a little sore from the hit I took. I don't know what prevented me from wanting to strangle that creature right there for the annoying, girly fans it had...but something stopped me. Maybe it was that amazing show it just put on in the sky, or maybe those eyes it was staring at me with.

"Yeah.." I said, "I'm alright."

Somehow the impact didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. That pony must have been slightly heavier than a bird. I sat up, taking my hand off my chest as the pain started going away.

"Alright, well sorry for hitting you, uh.. sir." It said in a girly yet tomboy-like way, then turned around and looked like it was about to fly away.

"Wait," I asked, "How did you do that trick, and how are you.. here?"

The cyan pony looked at me in curiosity, then said without hesitation, "You're looking at the fastest and most awesome pony in Equestria, Rainbow Dash!"

"Equestra-wha?"

"Equestria." She replied, "Say, where are you from? I've never seen a creature like you before."

I sat there with a blank face, puzzled by what I was seeing. Was I on Earth? So, I slapped myself on the cheek to try one more time to wake up from the dream. It hurt, and I had confirmed to myself that this was definitely not a dream. The pony looked at me, raising an eyebrow and smirked.

"Well.. I gotta go, much flying practice to do, as you can see," The flying pony said and and began flapping here wings. "But hey, it'll get dark outside in a few hours. The Everfree Forest isn't really a place for someone like you. The only place around these parts it Ponyville." she said, pointing her hoof in the direction behind her.

"Uh..okay."

"Hope to see you again some time! I owe you one!" and she flew off towards the place she pointed to. Ponyville, was it?

For being a pony, that was a pretty awesome trick. But that still shouldn't mean guys should watch the show.

This wasn't a dream, and I wouldn't have survived long out there in the forest. God... I only had one choice.
