All I wanted was some peace and quiet.

Chapter eight:Nothing goes as planned.

Previous Chapter

I walked my way throughout the town not really knowing where anything was, until I found myself just kind of walking mindlessly. All of this was happening so fast, all I had wanted a few days ago was to be out on a bike ride for a little bit of quiet and relaxation time, but no, now I was a horse...pony... who had apparently already warranted the attention of a mare, and don't get me wrong the idea of being a Pegasus is awesome, but not having hands, it was terrible, how did these ponies without horns or wings do anything, I had seen Applejack carrying things in her teeth, is that what they always did?

While so deep in my thoughts I bumped into a tree, nope not the tree I was looking for. In fact, I have no idea where I am...ugh it's like the first night all over again, but now I can fly above the tree line and scope out the area, wings are pretty great not gonna lie, I still miss my hands though. I emptied my head and began my process for flying, empty head, check, extended wings, check, flapping, check, ready to go.

I gained height slowly and steadily, the town looked to be almost directly behind me, all I had to do was move a bit to the right and walk straight forward, how hard could that be? Now then, how do I land?

After the most graceful bout of aerobatic skills...oh who am I kidding I landed face first into the dirt again. Upon retrieving what little dignity I had left I began to ponder all of what had happened so far. The top five were that 1. I missed my hands. 2.I was no longer a human, quite upsetting. 3. Rainbow appeared to be attracted to me, not good. 4. I had no idea if I could ever get back home. 5. I am now a Pegasus, while pretty awesome, still no hands, not awesome.

As if on cue, something just had to go wrong, I heard a roaring. " OH BUCK NO, NONE OF THIS!" I started flying again, sure I sucked at it, but there was no way in Tartarus that I was about to be eaten by some freaky lion thing.

"Did you miss me?"...You have to be kidding, magic where have you been. "Well, I was kinda knocked out or something from the magic, maybe? To be honest, I only know as much as you do, remember?" Way to be vague as possible there magic, really how helpful, could you at least help me fly? "I can try?" Gee thanks.

I...we? Were steadily gaining height now, it was a lot easier, I was wondering how Pegasi were able to fly so easily, they must have had some kind of dormant magic or something. Okay, now to try and go forward. Magic, you got any ideas? "Hope for the best?" Yep, that sounds about right.

I moved my wings in a way that they were propelling me forward and keeping me aloft at the same time, if only Rainbow could see me now...aaaand I'm thinking about my problems again. The good news though was that I could see Twilights house, although it was pretty late, Applejacks farm was not to far away, I could probably fly to that.

"Okay." I said talking to myself. "It's landing time, you got this, not to hard now easy, stay on target, stay on target, stay on tarmbff! The familiar flavor of dirt was in my mouth, anymore of this and I would develop a liking to the flavor. I picked myself up and began to walk to the door, unluckily applejack was sitting beside it, snickering...

"Did you enjoy the show, you do realize that was only my second attempt at flight right?" She was still snickering and pointed at something with her hoof... an imprint of my face was on the ground...

"Yah, yah I enjoyed the show alright." She exploded into laughter, I went into the house and found the room I had slept in the first night I was on the farm. Man, nothing can just be easy can it, I need to sleep on my problems. Good night magic, sleep well... I think? "I don't know either bro, I just don't know.


(The following morning.)

Okay, plan for today, eat way to much breakfast, check, go to Twilights house, working on it, track down Rainbowdash, near impossible. Alright, got my plan for today, the walk to Twilights house was fairly uneventful, I saw the pony that went insane when she saw my hands though. "Ya know what, I am going to go explain to her what happened." It seemed so easy and sensible to do.

"Excuse me, ma'am?" Her head whipped behind her, it looked like she had not slept in days.

Her voice came out as not but barely a whisper. "yes?"

"I uhm have some information on the being with hands I thought you might like...." I was then tackled down to the ground by the mint colored mare.

"TELL ME EVERYTHING!" To say I was frightened would have been an understatement...I think I peed a little...

"I...uhm uh...I'm the human..." She was now giving me a ""Are you bucking serious?"" look. "No, really I am, Twilight Sparkle was experimenting  on me with magic, and when she tried transformation magic, well...it worked." This was getting awkward, she was still on top of me..."Could you also get off?"

"Sure, but promise me one thing?" She had a mischievous look in her eyes.

"Okay?" I was hoping it would not be anything to insane.

She then looked me dead in the eyes and stated simply. "Tell me every possible thing you can about your world."
