So here you are, lost, hungry, alone. That's pretty much it. Moral of the story is, you are lonely.

Right now you stand in a dark and rather creepy forest. As you navigate your way through the forest you can hear the local wildlife. The primal roars, the unharmonizing chirps of birds, even the air seems to carry voices telling you to leave.

You shiver slightly as the wind blows, sending chills up your spine effectively causing you to loose some body heat. As you look around for any sign of the forest trees thinning, you manage to spot a small cottage. You wonder why would someone live so close to such a horrible place.

As you push past the tree line of the forest you head for the cottage. You know whoever lived within might not trust you considering your covered in mud, twigs, and some grass. Hell, you probably looked like you belonged in that forest. As you approach the door to the cottage, you notice how short the heigh of the door frame is. You think it looks like the door frame is meant for four feet height people.

You raise your hand to knock on the door, but before you knock you cam hear small whispers, being the nosey fuck you are you lean in and press you ear against the door to listen in.

"Alright dear Angel Bunny, you have to eat up or you won't grow to be big and strong." You hear a small calming voice speaking to someone.

You pull your head away from the door and lightly tap your knuckles against the wood. You barely manage to hear an audile 'eep' sound, followed by 'I'm coming.'

You smile, whoever was at the door had a voice of milk and honey. Which probably meant they were nice incredibly caring. Whoever it was, surely they would understand your predicament..right?

You hear a soft clopping sound approach the door. 'Clopping?' You think as the door slowly opens.

Right in front of you is a soft yellow coated pony. You two stare at each other for a while. This allows you to fully grasp just what is standing in front of you. A yellow pony. First you think. 'Last time I checked ponies weren't that kind of yellow.'

Your eyes wander toward her hai-mane. The light shade of pink, how silky smooth it looked. As if it was always cared for. Maybe the owner of this pony just really liked...dying her pets?

Your last thought was immediately shot down as your eyes wander towards the pony's wings. Your mouth drops. This pony wasn't a pony. It. Is. A. Pegasus!

Your vocal cords are failing you. Unfortunately for you the yellow pegasus's vocal cords were working just fine as it started screaming. Not a horse kind of scream either. No, this was a blood chilling scream you hear girls make as they are about to die from the chainsaw wielding psychopath that just broke into their home.

You covered your ears and turned, breaking off into a full sprint away from the cottage. You ran. Ran. And continued running. You ran until your legs started to burn and feel as heavy as lead. You finally see a small village, you let out a sigh of relief. As you head closer you mange to see many pastel colored dots populating the streets of the town.

As you draw nearer these dots take shape. Pony shape. The entire town is full of multi colored ponies. Once again being the nosey fuck you are, you hide behind a bush and spy on the ponies.

You notice there were three different types. Pegasus, normal ponies, and Unicorns, and oddly each of the ponies had so,e sort of mark on their flank. Now normally you would try to wake up from the dream that you are currently in, but after experiencing the last pegasus screaming at you. You knew this was no dream.

If only it was a dream for you though. You can tell these ponies are intelligent, as you can see unicorns using....magic? Yeah, magic to trade gold coins for items. Which meant these ponies had a currency. You think about going down there to beg for help.

Your mind quickly turns gears. You can't just simply go down into the town and introduce yourself now can you? Not after the reaction that yellow pegasus gave you...but than again..you can't just go back to that damned forest. You have to make up your mind. Go back into the forest, *grumble*, and starve..or take your chances with these ponies.

You take a deep breath and jump out of your hiding bush and head down towards the little village. As you take your first footstep onto the cobblestone floor, the ponies all stare at you. All waiting, all staring, and all...glaring? Were they seriously glaring at you?

"U-umm...hi?" You stutter out. As you speak all of the ponies take a gasp.

You can hear their judging whispers to one another. Each words passing through the others ear and through their mouths. Like a bad game of telephone.

Their whispers grew louder. Angry? The ponies started to become unsettled, their hooves slightly fidgeting. Your blood turns to ice as one of the ponies take a step near you. It was a stallion. Slim and kind of lanky. You saw that he wore glasses and had acne. He opened his mouth.

"G-get out of here!" You hear him say. Your heart skips a beat as you see three other ponies step next to him and nod their heads. You notice one of these ponies had a brown stetson hat.

Why where they being so mean to you? Just because you looked different? Then again, if you saw an alien come into your home you would be cautious to.

"Can I at least-" You were cut off as a rock was sent hurling towards you. You quickly raise your arms and block the rock with the sides of your arm. You let out a small yelp of pain. You put your arms down to inspect the damage. Blood trickled down from your arm and dripped off of your fingers. The rock must have been surprisingly sharp to do that much damage.

You look up at the ponies, each pony had a rock held in their hooves, others had rocks floating around them. You quickly turn away and run for your life. A rock manages to slam into the back of your head as your run, without a doubt in your mind the blow left a knot on your head.

You barely manage to escape by taking a quick turn into an ally way. The ponies dumbly ran past the ally way you were hiding in. As they past you could only think of escaping this village. You risk a quick peek from the ally way. You see a clear path for the forest.

As you think, the knot in your head throbs, your legs wobble, and the gash in your arm still lets out blood. You take a deep breath getting ready for another sprint. As you lift you leg to run you feel a strong grasp pull you back into the ally way.

You look over towards your captor. Another pony, but this one was different. It had a horn and wings. It's lavender eyes were soft, rather than rough like the others. Her purple coat stood on edge but she still managed to keep her breathing calm and steady.

"Shhh..." She said to you. The invisible grasp that enveloped your body slowly loosened. "I'm going to let you go now okay?" She says to you. You slowly nod your head.

The grasp lets go of you, and you quickly turn and run, trying to escape the ally way and escape the purple mare. The invisible grasp once again takes you back into the ally way. As it pulls you closer towards the mare you realize this was the end. Your eyes begin to water as you get dragged closer to the mare.

You are turned face to face with the purple mare. Tears slowly leak from your eyes as you shut your eyelids. "J-just end me!" You weakly cry out.

"What?" The mare said to you. Her voice sounded genuinely confused. Was she seriously trying to help you? Was this not some cruel and sick trick to get your hopes up.

"Just kill me, all the others want me dead!" You cry out. You open your eyes to see the concerned look that was laid upon the mares face.

"Their just afraid...and so are you." She said to you.

"I was almost killed just now." You say.

The mare shook her head. "I couldn't let that happen, come on lets get you fixed up." You cock your head slightly. Why was she being so nice to you?

The mare's horn lit up in a pure white light, your eyes were blinded for a split second, you feel yourself on the ground, your stomach twisting and turning, the world around you spun for a few brief second. As you manage to regain control of your body you take in your surrounding. It looked as if you were in a library.

"Sorry, still a but difficult to teleport two ponies."

Teleport? You know what..forget questioning the logic in this world, nothing made sense to you anyways. Talking pastel colored ponies? Heck, Pegasi? Unicorns? Magic? You give up on trying to question logic.

You look at the purple mare that hovered over you. Her horn was glowing, you could feel the throbbing pain in your arms slowly dull, the gash slowly closing. Honestly, to you it felt utterly disgusting, having your skin reform so quickly, each nerve regrow without pain.it felt wrong. Next the dirt mud that stained your skin were being wiped away, the mud and twigs that were snagged in your hair quickly vanished as well.

The mare's horn finally stopped glowing, you felt refreshed, the throbbing in your head was gone, and your legs no longer felt weak, you were clean. Perfect, now you can leave this horrid place.

You look around and spot a door, you look back at the mare and give her a small smile. "Thanks, but I gotta get out of this town." You say to her. Her horn lights up once again, a small flash of white and she was in front of the door.

"Sorry, I can't let you leave just yet." She says to you. Your heart drops to your stomach as you fear for the worst.

"Why not!" You say, trying your best to sound angry.

"I need to learn about you." She simply says.

"W-what?" You say.

"I need to...document stuff about you." She said. Was she some sort of scientist? You remember how your in a library. You re take your surroundings in once again. Now that your paying attention you notice the ladder that leads up to a small ledge, two beds decorate the top of said ledge....so did this mare like live here?

Was she the towns librarian? So now it makes sense that she would want to document what you are. You let out a small breath you didn't know you were holding in.

"Okay, but after that I need to find somewhere to go okay?" You say to the purple mare. Her eyes light up and she nods feverishly.

"Okay first let me introduce myself, I am Twilight Sparkle." Twilight's horn glows, parchment, ink and a quill levitate towards her. "Now the documentation begins, what is your name?"

"Oh, my name?" You half ask back, Twilight nods to you, the quill slightly shakes with anticipation. "My name is-"

"Nice name." Twilight tells you. "Odd by Equestrian standards but still nice." She said. "Next question, what are you exactly?"

"Like species?" You ask the Alicorn. She nods her head. "Human, scientific name, homosapien. If you want to get a bit more sciency were also bipedal." You say feeling proud of yourself, turns out all those days in school weren't completely wasted.

Twilight nods her head and looks back up at you. "Are you related to apes, you sort of look like some hairless version of one." She says to you.

Ouch, that kind of hurt your feelings, what would some horse know anyways. "Kinda, their like our cousins..eh." You end trying to change the subject but completely failing.

"Come on you have to know!" Twilight stated eagerly. You shrug your shoulders at her. You see her form slightly slouch, she then mutters something under her breath, but it was too quiet for your ears to pick up.

"Imma ask you a question, how do you speak english?" You ask Twilight.

"English? What's that?" Twilight said.

"Whats English!" You state, you stand up and flail your arms around a bit as you speak. "You're speaking the language right now!" You half shout at her.

"Nooo, I am speaking Equestrian, just like you are." Twilight states to you as matter of fact like.

"English!" You state.

"Equestrian!" Twilight retorts. Her quill, ink and parchment were placed on a table.

"ENGLISH!" You actually shout, as you shout you throw your hands straight up.

"EQUESTRIAN!" Twilight screams at you. As she scream at you, your brain has a flashback at that yellow pegasus screaming at you, you didn't know if just that pony could scream that loud, or was it all of these ponies, you take the safe side and step down.

"Okay, Eqestrian." You say softly, trying your best not to anger the purple mare in front of you.

"Ehem." Twilight clears her throat and reclaims her documenting items, she looks back at you. "Well now I know you humans have a temper."

"Vice versa." You state. You quickly receive a glare from Twilight. You shut the hell up right then and there.

"Are there any more of you here?" Twilight asks.

"I-I'm not sure, I'm not exactly from here." You state. Your mind begins to race. Were you the only human in this world? If so could you ever get back to home? If not then how will you survive here! Questions began to fill your head. The more you thought about it the more questions came, the more questions that came, the more answers were not answered. It kind of made you sad.

"Where are you from?" Twilight asks you.

"Earth." You say flatly, your mind still wondering off to the worst case scenarios.

"Do you know how you got here?" She asks.

"I was just strolling through the park woods when I got lost, I tried to make my way out of the woods but I quickly realized I wasn't even in the woods after an hour of walking.' You say. You didn't mention the lion like thing that chased you either. "Next thing I know, I'm stuck in some dark and gloomy forest." You finish with a sigh.

"Awww." You hear Twilight say, her voice sounding like a girl who just found an abandoned kitten on the side of the rode. You are quickly bolted out from your thoughts.

"What do you mean aw?!" You state angrily, if there was one thing in existence that you hated, it was pity. That feeling. It makes you cringe internally. Pity, it was disgusting. Pity, it was useless.

"I just..kinda feel sorry for you." She states. "Getting lost in the woods, than ending up on a different world, I'm surprised your coping so well." Twilight finishes.

Your eye twitches slightly, you hands curl up into fists, your skin tightens and gains goosebumps, your breaths become short and sharp. Twilight's pity was seriously getting you angry.

"Do humans normally do that?" Twilight asks you.

"..." You take a deep breath, trying your best to calm down.

"I guess not?" Twilight says.

Your body returns to it's state of normality. "Are there any more questions, or am I free to go?" You ask.

"I don't want you to just simply leave, but technically I never could have legally held you here." Twilight says to you.

You grimace at your own idiocy. "So I was free to leave at any moment?" You state through your clenched teeth. The mare nods. "Well, I'll just be doing that now." You state as you head for the door.

As you reach out for the door handle, said door slams into your face, the door didn't stop either, it kept opening until you were firmly pressed behind the door and the wall.

"Twilight! Ya would nevah guess what ah saw!" An extremely southern voice shouted. "It was sum sorta ape!" The pressure against your face is alleviated, you hold the door close, making sure to keep it there for cover so the new pony won't see you.

"Yeah, I've heard, the entire village was bullying him." Twilights states. You feel something inside of you grow a bit as she said that, but you don't exactly know what it is, but it feels different.

"We weren't bullying em' it was antagonizing the entire town!" The southern mare said.

"Applejack, haven't we learned anything from Zecora?" Twilight says.

"But he was going to.." Applejack

"Applejack, you can't judge a book by it's cover remember?" Twilight said. You found it incredibly girly...yet true.

"A..ah need to apologize don't ah?" The Southerner said.

"You're the element of honesty, what do you think is right?" Twilight said.

You laugh to yourself silently. 'Way to guilt trip her.' You think to yourself.

"Well he's right behind that door, so do what you think is right." Twilight the treacherous said.

"H-he is?" Applejack said. The door slowly opened to reveal you.

You stood their awkwardly. You see the pony. The brown stetson hat laying in her head. "YOU THREW ROCKS AT ME!" You shout at the country pony.

"No! Ah just stood next to the pony that did!" She retorts at you.

"YOU MIGHT AS WELL OF THREW THE ROCKS YOURSELF!" You shout, moving sideways a bit.

"Ah-Ah'm sorry!" She says to you. Another thing that truly pissed you off.

"I'm sorry doesn't take back anything!" You shout. What did 'I'm sorry.' Ever fix. Nothing! I'm sorry was the most useless phrase that has ever been said.

"Come on, no need for ang-" Twilight tried to finish her sentence but you cut her off.

"And YOU! You have no right to think your not like them! If it wasn't for me being new and exotic, I bet you wouldn't of even bothered with me!" You shout. You could feel your cheeks burning with anger. As you finally shuffled sideways far enough, you turn and sprint out the door.

"WAIT!" You hear Twilight scream after you.

You know what she can do with her horn, but you keep running. You head straight for the dammed forest. After ten minutes of avoiding the Twilight and Applejack you manage to get into the forest once again.

. . .

This damned forest, it frightens you. Yet, you remain here. Why? You don't know. Was it because you were afraid of those ponies? They did cut you pretty deep with a rock. They would of chased you out of the village anyways. Only reason you stayed there any longer was that damn Twilight.

As you make your way through the forest you spot an hut. No, not some small cottage home, a small mud hut. It reminds you of the indians hut you read in the history text books. You wondered what kind of pony would live within this forest. You sneak up to the window and see a Zebra inside, stirring something inside a pot. Something that smelled delicious.

Your stomach growls. "You traitor!" You whisper to your own belly.

"What is that I hear? Somepony hungry is near?" You hear the zebra say from within the hut. Her voice and rhyming words reminded you of indian tribalists.

"Umm..yes?" You say unsure of yourself. Should you try to get a free meal? Should you just leave and not risk another accident?

"Come within, and dinner will begin." The zebra rhymes again.

'Is that all she does?' You think to yourself.

"Thank you." You say as you enter the hut. You know the risk your taking, but your stomach is hurting too much for you to focus.

"Carrot stew, I've brewed for you." The Zebra says to you as she dips a bowl into the pot. She places the bowl down on a table that was in the center of the room. You noticed their was only one chair, so being polite you stood next to the table.

You pick of the ceramic bowl and tilt it towards your mouth. The delicious taste is very welcomed on your tongue, the warm sensation makes its way down your throat takes refuge in your belly.

"Mmmm, delicious." You say as you lower the empty bowl back down onto the table. The Zebra grabs it once again with her mouth and dips it back into the pot, than heads back to you. As she places the bowl back onto the table she looks at you.

"Not to be rude, but what are you?" The zebra asks.

"I'm a human." You say, you then raise the bowl and drink from it again. After finishing the bowl once again you decide you have had enough food. "Thank you for the food." You state simply.

"Do you have a place to sleep, I have enough room for three." The zebra says. Your taken back a bit at how generous this zebra was being.

"I don't want to intrude on you, you have already been nice enough for me..I think I should take my leave." You say. You think about your sentence for a second. Were you rhyming? Seriously? Must be contagious.

"You won't impede, trust me." The zebra says.

"How can you be so nice to me? You don't even know my name." You say.

"Zecora is my name, I'm not a fan of fame." Zecora says.

'Zecora?' You think to yourself. Was this the pony Twilight was talking about?...it had to be. And not a fan of fame? Either she ran out of rhymes or she was talking about the incident at that little village.

"Not to push you, but can I know your name too?" Zecora asks you.

"Oh, of course..My name is-"

You lay awkwardly on the bed Zecora has generously provided for you, as you shift around you turn your body and look at Zecora who is creepily staring at you. You feel shivers tingle at the base of your spine. You try your best to shake it off but the feeling but Zecoras intent stare causes the shiver to spread through the rest of your spine. Zecora was always watching.

After tonight your gonna leave, you don't want to be rude but, you just can't sleep peacefully at night knowing that you're gonna be watched the entire time. You smirk at a small memory of a movie you watched before. 'You put the lotion on the skin.' You shiver again and try your best to fall asleep.

. . . .

"If you ever need any hospitality, don't forget about me." Zecora said to you as you were getting ready to leave. You already packed up the nothing that you had and were at the entrance for her door.

"Thank you for everything, seriously, but I have got to do something about...well." You cut yourself off, you began to realize your not entirely too sure what your going to do with your life. "Heh, well anyways, maybe I'll see you again sometime." You're kind of saddened when you realize you have nothing to do with your life, the only purpose you serve as of now is to survive.

The zebra nods and returns into her hut while you take on your difficult stride through the forest once again.

. . . . . .

You wander about the forest for quite some time, finally you see a break in the tree line. You immediately decide that you would rather be in a clearing than in the creepy forest. You break past the final few trees and stand in the clearing. A mountain now stands before you. You have two choices now. The mountain, or back into the forest.

You already known which one you're going to choose. You just wanted to hold off the actions, why? Because you're a huge procrastinator.

As you head for the mountain you notice a convenient trail leading upwards, a bit steep, but better than taking your chances with the unstable rocks. Taking the steep trail you can see exactly how unstable the rocks are, most are either cracked or misplaced so that any pressure would cause them to create an avalanche..err rockslide.

You see a quick shadow dart across the mountain, you flinch slightly as the speed, but realizing it was just a shadow you feel la bit like a coward. You look upwards for whatever caused the shadow.

A buzzard. Ew, a creepy full grown buzzard. You shivered a bit at the site, but than remembered that buzzards were a bad bad sign. As long as there weren't a lo- Your facial featured drop as you head up the mountain more only to see an entire flock circling the top of the mountain.

You take a break and rethink the situation you are in.

So, buzzards, and lots of them, either a sign of bad luck or there's something dead up there. You really hoped for that second one, even if it was wrong to wish such a thing.

With aching legs you continue your ascension of the mountain. Half an hour passes and you finally reach the top. There was absolutely nothing at the top of the mountain, which means by superstition you are royally fucked.

You take a look around gazing at the beautiful view that you have of this world now that your on top of a mountain.

The forest doesn't looks so creepy and evil from the top, but like these ponies it only seems harmless from a certain perspective. You look the other direction to see the small town you were in earlier. You turn away in disgust, you now face the opposite side to the town. You see a palace?!.

Whoa wait what! A Palace! A palace hanging onto the mountain your standing on! These ponies have made a damned palace?! You slumps your head down, there's the sign of the buzzards again. They circle above your head wildly and yet silently, rather creepy. You once again feel shivers trail up your spine.

You decide that you should get off the mountain, the buzzards were starting to give you goosebumps.

You head for the palace, why?

One, the way down doesn't look as long as it does for the forest. Two, you didn't climb a damn mountain only to go back to the forest. Three, hopefully, if there's a small chance of humanity in these ponies, these royal ponies will be more considerate.

You begin your careful tread down the mountain, here you notice how the palace hangs onto the cliff. It seems as if it was built into the mountain but also sort of cuts off from it also, it didn't make any since to you. Then again, you are in the land of talking ponies.

You didn't think this out to well. Your currently standing on the side of a mountain, but you also stand right next to a pointed top of a part of the palace. Should you go for it? If you mess up you will probably fall to your death. Your meaningless death.

You take a sigh and risk it, you take the small jump from the mountain and land onto the palace top, well you would have landed onto it, if it didn't break as soon as you stepped foot onto it.

You fall through the top and land yourself in the second tallest tower of the palace. Great, just fraggin great. You land directly on your ass and feel almost as if you just broke your tail bone. As you stand up and awkwardly rub your butt, you hear the snoring, the deep and loud snoring of-

You slowly turn your head for whatever the cause of the sound was. As you lock your eyes onto the deep blue alicorn, you see it's chest heaving up and down along with the snoring.

"It's still asleep?" You say softly to yourself. The snoring confirms your question, you look up at the hole you caused in the room. It must be a heavy sleeper. You mean it had to be, if you just fell through its roof and the alicorn didn't even flinch.

You tense up, the reality of the situation taking hold of you.

You are stuck in the palace, with a bunch of ponies, that are probably scared of you....welp..this is your end.

You stand in the sunlight the hole provided to you.

"Hey, look you made a sun roof!" You joke to yourself, but immediately feel bad for the awful pun. You sigh and look for the door, your only way out considering the hole is to high for you to try and climb out of.

You make your way for the door and place you hand on the knob. You slightly turn the knob, only to find it locked somehow. "Seriously, a door that locks from the outside?!" You say softly. "What kind of crap is this!" You state angrily. You looks closer at the doorknob and see a faint dark blue glowing aura enveloping the entire knob. You look over back at the pony that was laying in the bed. The aura's color and the pony's coat color matched perfectly.

Putting one and two together, you realize this alicorn must have pit some sort of spell or enchantment on the doorknob, basically your screwed until it wakes up and unlocks it.

You sigh and sit in a corner, waiting for your end to come to you. Once that dark blue pony wakes up, bye bye life.
