A New Life in New Colors
By Rayne Sears

Chapter 1
Time to adjust.

"Ughhhh..." Of all things to say that was my first. And my last before a cupcake was jammed down my throat.

"Is he ok?" Who ever it was had a quietness to her voice that made her sound like a baby with full verbal capabilities... I closed my eyes.

"MAYBeeeee I shouldn't have let him have the cupcake..." She didn't sound very guilty that the back of my throat was coated in strawberry frosting. But she also sounded like she just drank a 2 liter of espresso.
I closed them again.

"What's all that stuff he has? It looks REALLY strange..." This one was hard to determine it was kinda like she was judging me, but also trying to make herself sound better, with just words. She got a silent applause from the back of my head.
And again.

"And what IS he or... Her... Or whatever wearing?!" Is one sounded like a uptight British model designer. (Wow was I close...)
And again.

"Look ya'll! He's waking up!" Wow, cowgirls? Didn't know I was anywhere close to the old west. Last time I checked I was in my apartment.

It was painful but I managed to open my eyes, I really, REALLY shouldn't have. I saw six, multi-colored ponies with human looks on there faces. Curiosity was the major of them, and I responded like anyone would. "WHAT THE FUCK!?"

Wasn't my best choice of words but it scared the bejesus out of me. And a pale yellow pony near the back of the group nearly jumped out of her skin.
"Eep!" She hid behind the bookshelf and you could just barely see the top of her pink maned head peeking out.

"Whoa partner. I don't know what words your using there pal but your scarring us!"
"I'M scarring YOU?!" Said a orange pony who seemed ready to kill if need be. I was about to speak when some invisible force practically buttoned my mouth shut. It felt like a giant polished piece of glass was being pushed against my face, like it was trying to make me swallow a snow globe, I hated it. I noticed that the... Purple one was very irritated.... And her horn was glowing slightly. From all of the wizard comics I've read, if its not bright, then they aren't putting much effort into whatever they are doing, guess she must be powerful, seeing as how I was stapled to the cot. But she also seemed very curious.

"Who. Or what are you? There is nothing in my books about ANYTHING on you..."
I saw her horn give a small burst of color then the pressure released and I could talk again "Me? Explain what you are before I get into talking about myself!" I was just about to unleash my full vocabulary of profanity when the Colgate white pony interrupted our argument, "Ugh, pardon my friend here, she's too curious for her own good. How about I explain who, what, and where we are? Would you like that darling?"

Finally, best news all day, "Yes. Yes please I would LOVE to know whats going on... And where all my stuff went!"
Just like that, my hair (being a guy with long hair is kinda annoying but the look is worth it) was all blown to one side and a RAINBOW was inside the library
"What was THAT?!"

"Well, ya see sugarcube, we put your stuff away since, well your were knock out. We looked at it but didn't touch anything. It was heavier than I thought it was... You sure can carry a lot, my friend just went to go grab it, shouldn't take her long"

I let out an audible sigh, and sunk a little further into the covers, that was good. Now about the intro of what the HELL was going on, and more importantly why the hell there were talking ponies in the first place. Was this a sick prank? For some god forsaken reason was I beamed up by multicolored alien ponies?The white one interrupted my thought process by deifying what I have known for years: ponies can't talk. She approached again with a helpful smile touching her lips.

"Well? How's about it? Would you like to know whats going on?" She said with a interested look on her face.

"Yes please." I said getting comfortable in my make-shift bed.

She then shooed the rest of the... Ponies out of the room, but as the door shut you could hear the multiple voices overlapping. It was obvious that anyone who opened that door was gonna get a... pony-lanch. "So" her horn lit up like a birthday candle and a chair levitated towards her "What. Is YOUR name?"
"My name? Usually people didn't ask my name, I tried to get there's.."

"Ha! Well there maybe some truth to that, for what it's worth, my name is Rarity."

"Rarity huh? Nice name, my name is-- "

"Well? What's your name sweetie?" Rarity said with a bit of concern touching her voice as I swayed in the bed.

I managed to stammer out, "It's Rayne, nice to meet you Rarity"

"What a lovely name! Well, I think you should know about where you are and what's... Proper" Rarity said with a look of distaste.

Oh god... I was with some kinda "drama queen" she went on explaining in depth that: they had a monarchy, they had three races, I was tall, strange, and incredibly strong, and the names of all her friends, but I wasn't really paying attention, where the hell had all my super important memory's go? I don't know my moms name, when she died... My dad... Who, or if I even had any brothers or sisters.

"Ok, I think I got the hang of things." I said with enough certainty to convince her.

"That's wonderful news! Let me go get the others!" She said getting off her seat and bounding to the door. You could hear scrambling on the other side.

I was about to stand when two things happened: one, my head hit the under stairwell and noticed stars dance crossed my head. And I found out I was FREAKING NAKED!

"Um... What happened to my clothing?" I said as calmly as my body allowed, putting a hand up to my head.

She paused at the door, carefully choosing each word, "Well, we had to take it off, it was covered in, well just about everything, wood shards, burn marks, cuts, holes, Ect." I looked at her like an alien, which she might as well have been. I wouldn't have been surprised if they even used the prob-- no, ugh. Not going there.

"Can I get some new clothes?" I said with a bit too much earnest in my voice.

"I suppose we could work something out..." She said in almost a teasing manner.

Excellent, clothing, yay.
