> Death could be rebirth. > by Pestilence > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The roads were desolate, at least for now. I was just cruising along, feeling tired and alone. Alone. I was completely alone. The only thing keeping me awake was the music blaring. Rough hands by Alexisonfire. This song meant so much to me and whenever I felt alone this song made me feel at least content. After the breakup with my girlfriend a while back, this song got me through it. It got me through a lot of tough situations. My name is Michael Edwards, I am 19 years old. Remembering my ex, she was my first true love, basically my first everything. We were the definition of a perfect couple. But we just slowly started to drift, then, then it happened. I found out the truth. She was cheating on me for months, for fucking months. I was so ignorant, I couldn't see the fucking signs that were in my face, taunting me. I didn't want to believe it. So when I finally accepted the truth that she was leaving me for another, my heart was devastated. Devastated to the point of suicide but I knew I wouldn't do it. There is just so much to live for and so I held on. I snapped back to reality after I noticed I was drifting into the other lane. "Fucking Michael, you need to pay attention!" I thought to myself. I focused on the rest of the drive but it felt like forever. "Almost home, I'm almost home." I was maybe ten minutes away from my home, probably like a couple miles. My destination was approaching but I could not keep a steady eye. I was falling asleep at the wheel. Being 19 I didn't have too much experience driving since I got my license later than everyone else. But right when I got it, I received the family car along. A 2009 Toyota Corolla sports edition, black. It was a decent car, wasn't to spendy. It was a great gift. As I kept dwelling on the past I start to think about my parents, they were great people, always loving, caring, gentle people. They became distant after I left for college, and I haven't visited them since, that was a year ago. I still keep in contact every one a month or two, but that's it. I really should visit them more. Reality had a harsh landing when I came back. I realized I was about to hit a stopsign. "Shit shit shit!" I screamed. I swerved out of the way just in the nick of time. "I really need to focus, god-damnit!" But how could I, I was so fucking tired, and there was so much on my mind at the moment. Before I knew it, I had my eyes closed, and my head on the wheel. It felt like a second before the headlights opened my eyes. I looked up to see they were coming directly at me. "Holy sh-" I screamed as I tried to swerve out of the way. Too late, I knew collision was eminent. The split second it took to collide felt like an eternity. *SMASH* The semi truck hit me head on, and obliterated my car. My head smashed into my steering wheel rendering me unconscious. > A rude awaking > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I came to in what felt like days it when I looked at my surroundings it was still the same night. The same fucking night. I just felt like I couldn't escape it, nor escape what had just happened. I still really couldn't figure what was going on, my head was still foggy from it getting smashed into my rough steering wheel. "What the fuck happened?" I asked myself. In honesty I knew exactly what happened I just couldn't believe it. The time in my car wasn't working, but neither was anything else. And when I tried moving my arm to check my wristwatch I found I couldn't move it. I looked down, puzzled thinking to myself why couldn't I move my arms. Then when I tried to move my legs I couldn't either. Could I be paralyzed from the shoulders down? How would I live the rest of my life, If I even survived this? It took me a second to realize, but when I looked down again I noticed something. I took noticed to all the blood in my car. On my wheel there was blood , my seats were drenched in it too. I finally looked down at myself and noticed all the wounds. What the fucking hell did I do to myself? I was pretty much paralyzed and was bleeding like a stuffed pig. Then it hit me. The nausea, followed by drowsiness. These were the symptoms of blood loss. Major blood loss to be exact. My only thought was to escape the car, cause at this rate, I was just a sitting duck in front of a hunters loaded gun. But how. How do I escape this wretched car when I can't even move my body? The only solution was to keep trying to move my body, or at least move my arms. I tried and tried and fucking tried but it didn't seem to do much. I was really running out of options now. "One more attempt, you can do it." I said trying to motivate myself. I tried as fucking hard as my body would allow. Finally I saw movement in my fingers. Then I saw more movement in my arms. Now for my legs. I pushed and pushed and finally got my feet to move around. But at this moment I was getting even more drowsy do to blood loss. I have to do something and now. I moved my arm to open the door, and with the strength that I could muster I pushed it open. Due to the wreck, it didn't open all the way, so I had to get out at an angle. I had to literally throw myself out to get out. Great. Fucking fantastic. So with all the remaining strength I possessed, I sawed back and forth and finally threw myself out. "FUCKKK" I screamed. I didn't feel the pain the wreck had actually caused until I hit the floor. The pain was intense and ever so real. I just didn't believe that this had happened. I could tell my arm was fractured or at least so badly damaged along wit the other. My abdomen had a rather large cut, a very deep cut to be precise. That is where most of the blood was coming out of, but I wasn't sure how I got it. Finally I just rolled onto my back and looked at the stars, hoping and praying to the god I wasn't sure I believed in. I looked at my watch 12:47. At 12:47 a 19 year old was killed, I thought. I don't think I could survive this, so much things I wanted to do in my life. So many past memories I would miss, along with the future I would have loved to live through, I wanted to die as an older man, but i guess we don't get what we always want. There were a lot of things i regret, a lot of things o definitely did not regret but that is over. Everything was over In a sense, I didn't think I could take any more of the pain and suffering of this injury. And it was definitely too severe to survive. I just wish I had a cyanide capsule to just kill myself immediately with. I put my head down and slowly let the cold take me, as I closed my eyes I said my final goodbyes. "Goodbye my family, my mother my father, my older brother that I looked up to for everything. Goodbye all the friends that helped me and were always supportive of me. Goodbye everyone I cared about" I whispered. I shut my eyes and went to sleep. But what surprised me was that I actually woke up. I must be dreaming like a last dream before death, if that even existed. Or maybe I was in heaven, I never did anything bad so I wouldn't think I would be in hell. But it didn't seem like either because I felt a cold breeze tickle my nose. My nose seemed awfully weird but figured it was nothing. But I woke up in a Forrest, a luscious green Forrest. I swear it looked familiar but I couldn't place my finger on it. I tried to move but I couldn't. Matter of fact I couldn't do much actually all I could do was look around breathe and think, think to myself. There was still pain, but it seemed less aggressive. I just figured that all this was because I'm just not alive and have no bodily control. So i decided to gather my surroundings to try to determine where i was and how the pain was still there. I looked around and i saw trees trees and more trees. There was grass that was so fine, especially against my skin. But When i looked down to determine why i was still feeling pain, I couldn't believe what I saw. I had hooves. > Rebirth. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I... What... What in the fucking world. Please tell me I'm dead, don't tell me I'm a mother fucking pony. And I knew this Forrest looked familiar, this is the Forrest from my little pony. I mean this would be every bronys dream to wake up in Equestria and be a pony. I mean I wouldn't consider myself a brony but I really love the show. but I'm dead so why the fuck does it matter. Or at least I think so. I can't even remember what happened after the accident come to think about it. All I remember now was that I got hit. By a semi. Maybe I still am alive, maybe I am still unconscious on the wheel. But wait, I remember waking up and getting out of the car. I am dead I have to be. These contradictory thoughts raced through my mind. But while i was having an argument with myself, pain struck me, hard. I was unbearable. I don't get it. Am I in like limbo, or purgatory of sorts? But I'm in Everfree forest, and I'm a pony. What type of fucking limbo would that be? Pain came back, except with a realization to boot. I realized that this could be like those fanfics about mlp I used to read. It was like where those humans would be teleported to Equestria. I remember one where a kid got run over a truck, and he woke up in Equestria. But how in the fuck is that possible. It's just a show. There really inst such a thing as Equestria or mlp, it's just a show. Just as I thought that, a final sweep of pain hit me, as a sort of knock out blow, and I passed out. I awoke several hours later, or guessing around that timeframe because it was now morning. I was still here. I was still in Everfree Forrest, still in Equestria. Still a pony. Maybe I was right about the fanfic all along. Maybe the accident teleported me here. How and why I still ponder, but this doesn't seem like a dream. Dreams don't normally cause pain, and I would take out the option of being in heaven or hell simply because this isn't what it would be like. Or at least not what I would hope it would be. I chuckled a little bit after that thought. But even that hurt, why does everything fucking hurt. I wanted to get up, I wanted to move, but I still was paralyzed. "If I don't get up, I will die here too." I said with understanding. I must move. It will be my only goal, and I must accomplish it. I have to, I don't want to die, not again. I figure I'm probably dead on earth anyways so this is my only life left I'm guessing. For whatever reason I am here it must be good. Back to the movement I thought. I am going to have to try as hard as a pony can to move. Hmm maybe I have wings, that would help so much. I looked over. Nope, no wings. How saddening. Well maybe I have magic. I looked up to see if I had a horn, didn't have that either. Fantastic. "Well that's just great, I guess I am going to have to move without wings or magic." I angrily stated. Well lets take a crack at moving. I looked at my arms first, like last time, and I tried as hard as I can to focus movement there. Nothing. Com'on you can do this mike. I kept trying and finally I got a hoof to work. But it was my bottom hoof. Not the right one but ill accept that. I tried my other hooves, and success I got another. I just have to keep trying to do this. After about a long period of pep talks and little movement of each hoof, I got them to move in unison. All I have to do is roll over and try to stand. I rolled to my side and pushed down with my hooves. Progress. I pushed up with the other two hooves and pushed myself to stand. Nice i'm standing! But right as I sad that pain hit my chest. "Ugggg fuckk" I yelled. Why in the hell is pain a reoccurring bitch? Pushing past the pain, I took my first steps. I felt like a baby, taking his first steps. I started getting it, and progressing speed. I was a natural once I got it down. But now the next problem was finding my way out of this horrid Forrest. "Which direction should I go?" I pondered. I didn't have time to sit and make up my mind, I had to go by my gut. I'm going south. I started to head south, and I hoped to god that it was the best choice. Sometimes your gut is right, sometimes is the worst thing you could you follow. If I go the wrong way I probably would end up lost and dead, if I went the right way I would make it to Ponyville. If I made it there I think they would be able to help me. I tripped up a couple of times when I felt pain, but other than that I was making a steady pace. I wonder how far out I am. Hoping for the best I kept walking. Trees, trees every-fucking-where. But I felt like I was getting close to Ponyville. The thickness of the trees decreased and more free land. I stopped for a sec to rest and catch my breath. My lungs hurt like crazy. But I know I can't stop for long because I have to get help. Stop everything! I hear something, at least it sounded like somebody was speaking. I listened and listened, but I heard nothing this time. "I got my hopes up for noth-" "Twilight dear, what flowers are we looking for again?" Spoke a familiar but distant voice. "They are called white lion, because they are a distant a part of the dandilio-" another pony explained but got cut off. "Twilight just tell me what they look like Hun, I don't need an explanation." Said the voice. "Oh sorry, they are white with yellow dots on the petals." The other pony explained. I got up as quick as my body allowed me and made haste to where the voices were coming from. I knew I was getting closer, cause I could hear them walking. Please god, I hope it's who I think it is. I got to the path they were walking in, but pain hit me to the ground. I collapsed immediately. NO! Not now please! I screamed in my head. I tried to vocalize my pain to them so they could hear me and help but nothing came out. Finally with all my power in me I bellowed "Please somebody help me!" > Consciousness. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- My vision was coming to an end,and my body was shutting down. I was exhausted. I really hoped they heard me, because I didn't think I would have enough left in me to go on. As my eyes closed shut I faintly heard hooves charging to me. I slipped out of consciousness I felt like i had Awoken from a deep slumber. But I didn't feel awake, I felt out of my body. I was a specter, a phantom of sorts. I looked down at my body, because I felt like I was floating. I truly was. My body was just lying there lifeless in a sort. I knew I wasn't dead, but I didn't know how Alive I was. How much time I had left. The slur of voices came ringing. They seemed panic, I think they heard me. Rushed hooves charged closer and closer to my body. In a couple of seconds they arrived at the scene, mortified by my appearance. I looked like shit, and I could see that a lot of the wounds I had gotten from the accident were appearing on my body. They tried waking me, but I was well out of it. They tried to identify me, but they had no chance. I was nameless, a ghost in the system of sorts. The words they spoke to each other were almost undefinable. I tried making out what they were saying but It was damn near impossible. Moments later one of the ponies who I still couldn't tell which one they were starting running away. " No no no come back!" I screamed! She didn't, and that put me back in my place. My place as a spectral pony. She couldn't hear me, I was in another world of sorts, a different place than she was. I looked back at the pony at my side. She was frantically trying to do whatever she could to wake me. I chuckled a little bit due to the other pony trying to wake me up. I knew I wouldn't be able to. But gladly I accepted her help. I noticed she took a glance at my cutie mark. We both said what it was in unison, both questioning why. "The vetruvian man?" We questioned. The pony looked mortified and in a sense, excited. Now she just sat there waiting trying everything she could.She tried to use magic to wake me, but still nothing. She was giving up at trying to wake me but she tried one more spell, and it brought me to consciousness. "Hello please wake up!" She yelled. " I'm... I'm awake." I stammered. "I'm here to help you the best as I can. Now your pulse is low, it seems like you lost a lot of blood." She explained. "I dot think I can st...stay awake much longer." I spoke softly "No you have to stay with me, you have to stay awa..." She spoke fading every word. I lost consciousness again. Appearing out of my body was a natural thing I assumed due to the fact I was back out. I stared into the pony's sad eyes, as she figured I was In a lot of pain. I really was in human form, for but in the form I appeared in now, I felt nothing. Nothingness consumed me. I was just a ghost. We both waited, waited for something that she knew, and something that I was uninformed of. Time elapsed, I wasn't sure how long, but in the place I was in it felt like an eternity. But out of no where I started to feel tired even in the spectral form I was in. My omniscient eyesight was becoming blurry. Was I true my dying right there. The pony knew that something was going wrong because she put her ear to my chest. Suddenly she sprang up and started yelling. The sounds faded a little but the sound of marching hooves took over. These hooves got closer and closer but I had no time left. No time it seemed. After all of the time that had elapsed, this is nearing the end. My sight worsened as the galloping came closer. My time has run down to its near end. My vision was running dry, I couldn't make out much, trees became blurs, the pony became a figure. My hope was fading, soon to become a fragment broken off from my soul. I couldn't let something like this end me. Even if I was just a pony, I couldn't let something like this ruin me. I was once just a human, calm, normally peaceful (couple of times I've had to step up and fight) kind hearted, and wouldn't do anything wrong to the people I loved. The pony's were entirely the same way, except everypony cared for everypony no matter who you were. Thinking about this all, it reminded me that we are similar in a way in the fact of kindness, friendship, love. We are the same. I wanted to be able to experience this, but I didn't have enough time. Time. It entered my mind. Every single thought I created had something to do with time. As I faded to my last seconds of consciousness I finally saw what had been galloping. Five ponies came to help in whatever way the could. But the time I was given had ran out. > Laughing is a bad idea > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was left alone with my thoughts. Alone. That's what I have always been, and that's what I will always be. I'm dead, or at least I assume so. I died with those ponies surrounded by me. But i wasn't sure. I just felt like my time had come. ------------------------------ Sounds managed to navigate themselves into my eardrums. They were muffled words some filled with panic, others emotional. I found one completely devoid of happiness. The words just came out of her mouth in an emotionless heap. I was fully awake, but decided to keep my eyes closed. I wanted to listen in land hear the conversation. "Ah recon' that he ought to be okay" said a calm voice with a beautiful southern accent. "Dear, how might you be so calm and so positive to this poor stallion. Me and twilight found him just laying on the side of the road. Poor dear." Said another voice this time in a sort of panic. "Ah never said ah wasn't worried, ah just think he will pull through." Said the southerner. "Did anybody take a look at his cutie mark?" One hyped up girl questioned. Another chimed except this was the one who was devoid of emotion. "I wasn't sure what to think about it. I've seen it before, just never expected it to be there on a mare." "Hey that rhymed!" The perky one stated. That's all she got out of it, seriously? I chucked a little in my head thinking about it before a shy little pony spoke up. "I... I... I agree with applejack." She said. Man that pony needs to speak up, I could barely hear a word she said. Funny thing was, is that I watched the show, and I knew who they all were, they just sounded a little different. Like older, and with more of a different tone to them. The last one that spoke sounded like Fluttershy, and the others that spoke, or at least the ones I could make out, were Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. Another voice ruined my thoughts. "Guys, pschhh, there isn't anything to worry about, he looks strong and tough. Not tough enough to take me on, but you know, tough." Stated the last one. That's it I think I have heard enough, I didn't want to worry them more. I opened my eyes to the sight of the manesix the elements of harmony, just standing around me. They just stood there, a couple flabbergasted that I was even alive. I too was a little surprised, but I tried not to show it. The expressions they were a little humorous, due to the fact that they had their jaws on the floor. "My, what beautiful eyes he has." Rarity stated. They all stared at her in disbelief, even I have her a questionable look. "What!? It's true" I chuckled a little leading them to loo to me. Wrong thing to do, because they all stared at me with the same face. I didn't really know what to do, nor what to say, so I just looked down. It was getting nowhere because nobody had wanted to say anything. So I finally broke the silence after a minute. "So um... Thank you for saving my life. I don't think I could have survived without any help you you guys." I spoke Still faces of disbelief. I wondered if I said something insulting or something surprising. They all just kept staring at me, most with disbelief, and Rarity with an googly-eyes. I wast sure to keep quiet until another mare, Applejack spoke up. "It was our pleasure sugar cube" she spoke with a little blush in her cheeks. Rarity immediately turned her attention to Applejack, with eyes basically stating "BACK THE FUCK OFF" Applejacks eyes came back with a saying of something close to "HE IS FAIR GAME" I scooted back a little in the bed I was in. The tension between them you could cut with a butter knife. "Ahem, no problem, it was a pony's responsibility to help another" Twilight said, giving a look back to them to cut it out. "Anyways my name is Twilight Sparkle. And this is Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash." She said pointing them all out. "Thank you gu- I mean ponies, it really means a lot to have gotten help from you." I said. "Where are you from, your definitely not from around here, and trust me I know everypony around here. I'm a very popular pony, everypony knows me from around here and I don't know you, so you must not know me, so that means you must not be around here." The little pink fluff ball Pinkie Pie said. That was a fucking mouthful I barely understood a word she said due to the speed of her talking. This must have also been the question on their minds because they also seemed an answer. "Umm... I'm not from around here." I said. I wasn't trying to be perfectly honest with them well mainly for the fact that it was pretty unbelievable. Where in the fucking world would they even hear a story like that? "Then, what is your name?" Said Twilight sparkle. My name, hmm what the fuck should I say about that? Obviously a name like Michael wouldn't fit around here. Nor among any place in the world I was in. I came up with the best fake name for here. "My name is oceanwave" I said. Figuring that they would take it due to my coat being blue. But then I thought about it. Oceanwave, who in the fucking right mind would come up a name like that that for a pony. They all have it questionable looks, but just went with it. "Okay Oceanwave, what are you doing in Ponyville. Especially in Everfree Forest, that place is dangerous." Twilight said puzzled. Again with the unanswerable questions. How in the work was I supposed to answer this? "Umm... I don't know exactly, I just remember finding myself in the Field of the Forest." I responded. "Then where did you get all of those marks and cuts? Those couldn't have just been from running in the forest. " "I don't remember getting those either, I just don't know. Look, all I can really say is that I'm baffled about this situation as much as you are." All the ponies just now looked at me and tried to say something but held back their curiosity. I wanted to tell them the truth, but I couldn't muster up the courage. "Well to tell you the truth, you need a lot of help, you are in critical condition, and I'm surprised your even alive. So I wrote a letter to the princesses and they are coming down to check the situation out. They will be here in an hour." Twilight said. "If you can't tell us, you can definitely tell the princesses, they are the smartest out of all of us." "Um okay, could I possibly rest until then?" I asked. "Sure, but ill be here to keep an eye on you." Said Twilight. "And they are staying too, just to help the situation" She obviously didn't trust herself alone with me. But I was harmless. I slowly shut my eyes, and let myself be taken into sleep. > Nurses and princesses. Great combo > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sleep was nice, sleep was good. I enjoyed the rest that I was getting. My tired body, my withered bones felt rejuvenated. My aching body was still in pain, but at a noticeably reduced rate. But still, even after the situation I've endured , I can safely say that I enjoyed it. I'm over the fact that I'm a pony, over the fact I'm pretty much dead as a human. Over the fact I'm in Equestria, over every single thing. I was awake again, and like before, I kept my eyes closed. I was listening for the conversations held by the ponies, all the surrounding sounds, anything my ears could pick up. But this time I could not pick up a single sound. It seemed lifeless. I wanted to desperately open my eyes and see my surroundings. I wanted to actually analyze where I was, who was around me, and anything that could be useful. But I restrained. But then, a door creaked, and a couple different sounding hooves trotted in, one behind the other. From what I could hear, there was four, but I could faintly hear a 5th. Then the door creaked again, and the steps dropped from my detection. Should I open my eyes now, or just let them do whatever they wanted. I decided to keep them shut, but I could not keep myself from nodding off. Sleep mode active I thought. Sleep more, sleep all day. That's what I felt like doing, correction, that's what my body felt. I truly wanted to wake up and socialize with the other ponies I didn't want to be a weird outcast to the ponies, but as of now, that's what I was. I wanted to just be known morally as a good pony. Because on earth, I was a nice person. A lot of people liked to be around me, and for good reason. Oh god, I sound like an egotistic, a narcissist. I wasn't in actuality, but in my mind, I sounded like a self indulged asshole. I hope that's what the don't think of me. Finally I awoke and open my eyes. I didn't want to be rude and keep them waiting all day, but who can blame me. I was fucking tired! I looked around and saw the mane six but joined them was the princesses Celestia and Luna along with their guards. There was another pony with them but I wast even sure who she was. She was hidden behind the princesses so I couldn't even really tell who she was. Suddenly that pony stepped forward to me and started to look at my wounds and check me out. "Oh forgive me, I didn't introduce myself, I'm nurse Redheart, and I'm here to look at your condition. If yo don't mind me asking, what happened to you?" The nurse questioned. "Ummm well uhh, hmmm." I stuttered. I couldn't get any word out of my stammering mouth, i was nervous as hell. "Sorry to interrupt, but can I get everybody out expect for the princesses and her assistant." Said the nurse. She glared at the ponies, and they slowly dispersed, along with the royal guards. The door quickly shut behind them, and it was just us left. "My apologies, I should have asked them to leave when I got here. Anyways, you were saying?" Said the nurse. She continued to check my body, while talking. "Again sorry, I didn't introduce them. Ill let them introduce themselves." God damn, could I ever get a word out when she was around? The white alicorn stepped up and spoke. "Hello, I'm princess Celestia, and this is my sister." The blue alicorn took up the conversation. "I'm princess Luna." With that she looked at me. Holy hell, she was beautiful. They both waited for a response but I tensed up. "Umm I'm Oceanwave, I'm not to sure exactly what happened, I just remember running and collapsing and them she found and helped me." I said pointing at Twilight. Even as I was talking, the nurse was evaluating me. She really didnt have any boundaries, because she just flipped me over and did what she pleased. The princesses looked at each other, giggled, and looked back at me. What weirdos I thought to myself. "Cut the bullshit Hun, we know your not from around here, I can see your cutie mark for Christ sakes." Said princess Luna. "Well okay. This is kinda crazy, but I'm a human." I said but was cut off. "That's not crazy dear, we have seen a fair share of humans. Your not the first one here, and I'm fairly familiar with earth myself." Spoke the kind hearted princess Celestia. "Now continue with the rest of your story, and try to be honest and remember everything." "Okay well, my name is Michael Edwards, I am 19 years old. What I recall, is that I was in a terrible car wreck, and I think I pretty much bled to death on earth. Then I remember waking up in Everfree forest. And well, I pretty much just started running and that's when I heard twilight sparkle and rarity talking so I pretty much screamed for help. The rest is pretty much obvious I guess. " After speaking, I looked at Twilight sparkle. She looked so mystified, so confused and her mouth was gaped open. "Don't keep your mouth open too long, bugs will fly into it." I spoke softly and chuckled. The alicorns giggled as well. Twilight snapped back up and got back into posture. "Oh sorry, I'm just so lost, what is a car. What is earth. Gah, I'm just so confused." Twilight chimed. "Don't worry my dear student. Ill explain everything some other time, as for now, we have to worry about our friend Michael." She spoke looking back to me. "What is his condition looking like nurse?" "Good, he looks somewhat healthy, he just will need to be kept on watch for a while, and given some medication for his pain. Other than that, he should be fine." The nurse calmly stated. "Okay, in that case, ill take him back to Canterlot with me and Luna. Can you get up alright, Michael? She questioned. "Yeah I think so, let me try." I adjusted and angled my body to land on my hooves. As I slipped out of the comfortable bed, I immediately landed on all fours. Now to remember how to walk. Great. I moved my front right hooves first, then the back one. Then back to the front. As I thought I got it perfect I got a little cocky. I quickened my pace then splat! Face plant. I looked up, my cheeks brighter than roses, and tried to get up. "Here let me help you dear." Princess Celestia said while using magic to put me back on my hooves. "Are you okay? Do you need any more help" she asked. "No, I think I got it, thank you for asking though." I said with an embarrassed smile. She blushed a little as she opened the door. Luna turned around and gestured me to go first. "Thank you" I said giving her a smile. "Hopefully I don't fall again." I teased. She giggled and followed right behind me.
