This Cannot Be Happining!
Hi! My name is Lily Astred. I am a sixteen year old girl with mid-length brown hair, aqua blue eyes, and a reasonable height of 5’11”. This is my story. Firstly, you know how when your family does something that you hate but you still love them anyway? My parents do that ALL of the time. Their names are Linda and Lester Astred. One thing I couldn’t believe they decided without me changed my life forever. It all started when my family was going on a camping trip. However, I had to go to the Summer Solstice Dance that night! My parents said I couldn’t go because of the camping trip they planned around their schedule. How selfish is that? The answer is very, very selfish. They knew I had the dance to go to for 3 weeks! Now I couldn’t go, because of a stupid camping trip. P.S I hate camping. In fact, I loathe it. Every time my parents don’t want me to do something, they say, “Hey! Lets go camping.” That one word makes me take refuge at a friend’s house. When people ask me what is my least favorite color I say camping. If they ask me my least favorite number I say camping. My parents could have said no, but they use the camping excuse. Who knew one word could cause such chaos to my social life. I know that now.
The reason they don’t want me to go is because I am to "young" and to "innocent" for those kind of parties or hang out with guys. Although I told my parents I wasn’t going because of the guys that I was going because it was my first singing solo on stage, they told me no! How am I able to become famous, when I can't do the first step to becoming famous because of a stupid camping trip. In fact my parents were mad at me! Can you believe it? They wanted me to go on a camping trip in mid July, 100 degree weather, and stay in a stuffy tent by myself while my parents laid in a camping trailer made for only two! On the night before the dance, I ran away to my friend Mindy’s house to avoid camping. We partied, had cake, and passed out from a sugar rush. It was my dream night, except I felt kind of bad for bailing on my parents. In the morning, Mindy and I got manicures and pedicures for the dance. Also, we got are hair done at the salon, bought our jewelry, I bought stunning 3 inch heels, and a dresses that was so red it would make someone's eyes hurt! By now, you probably have realized I am not what people call a “poor girl”. As well, you probably noticed my friend Mindy is also rich and her parents are on vacation with no clue I am in their home. I don't really care as long as I am away from camping. On the night of the dance, the limo pulled up and my friend Mindy and I looked was amazing. My red dress was 2 inches above the knee with a pleated skirt and a halter top. Not only did I look great, but my singing performance was great. I felt incredible! However, the whole time during the dance I though about my parents. I was about to go dance with Nick Jackle (Football Team Captain), but my evening was cut short. Principal Jack called me to his office. When I was there he told me my parents died on their way camping trip. Their car got hit by a Mac Truck and rolled off a hill into the Glimmer Lake. All of a sudden, I couldn’t breathe! I was overwhelmed with grief as well as having an asthma attack. The nurse ran in and gave me my inhaler. Knowing that I was now an orphan took a huge blow to me. Not knowing what would happen to me, I burst into tears and ran out of the office never looking back. A couple of times I stumbled, but I only stopped to catch my breath when I saw a puddle shimmering. When I looked down my face had thick black streaks down it from my mascara. Hating myself for not insisting my parents to stay home, I jumped in the puddle to blur my reflection. Instead, all of the air was being compressed out of my lungs and I felt like I was on fire. Then I blacked out. I must have been out for days because I saw my whole childhood go on. Including the T.V series my little pony. Why did I ever stop watching that? Awakening for thirst, I let my eyes stay closed. I hurt all over. Then I heard voices.
“Do you think she is alive?” voice 1 asked in a winey voice
"She must have been out here for a few days!" voice 2 said gruffly, "This path is only used for hauling away apples. Big Mac went this route 3 days ago, but it was to hot for the apples and they spoiled!"
Wait like the McDonald's Big Mac burger? I must be losing it
“I think I saw her eye moved. You better get your sister! She will know what to do!” voice 1 warned
“I’ll be back soon! Don't touch her in case she died of some disease.” voice 3 said in a Texan accent
I heard horse hooves running off and but I couldn’t move to see. It was confusing to hear them talk about me as if I was dead.
“I have never seen her around here before have you?” voice 2 asked
“No, but she sure is pretty. It's a shame she died.” voice 1 said
"She isn't dead I saw her eye lid move." voice 2 muttered
"Oh she is dead alright. When Apple Jack gets here you'll see." voice 1 said proudly
I could make out from their voices that they were children and all of them were girls. Horse hooves came faster towards us but I couldn't get out of the way.
“What in the hay is going on here.” voice 4 asked
“Apple Jack!” the two girls called
The older girl was above me because I felt where the cold shadow touched my hot skin. Apple Jack. Where had I heard that name before.
“She was just here in the rode!” voice 1 said
“We were coming here to race!" voice 2 said "I think she is dead!”
I tried to move but the only thing that came out of me was a moan. I barely opened my eyes to see...PONIES?!? I knew it! I finally had lost my mind.
“She's alive!” Apple Jack said, “ we must get her to a doctor! Sweetie Belle, go fetch Twilight Sparkle and tell her what happened she'll know what to do.”
“Yes, mam.” Sweetie Belle said also running off. No not running, trotting! Bewildered I blinked my eyes to see 3 ponies looking down at me. Freaking out, I tried to back up but I couldn’t move! I only flapped my wings. Wait... WINGS!!! I looked down to see I was a beaten up looking pony!
“Whoa there. Just stay still now yah here.” Apple Jack said, “If you can hear me don’t move! You might have broken something.”
They looked oddly familiar. The I remembered that old TV show I liked to watch. Oh no… I was in Ponyville. Then the next pony that came up to me I remembered as Twilight Sparkle.
“Oh my! What happened to her?! It looks like somepony hit her with a train and then bake her!!! The doctors should be here to pick her up at any minute. I sent a message as urgent.” Twilight said
When the pony doctors came and when they tried to put me in an ambulance I fainted from pain.
“What happened? I had the worst dream.” I croaked out opening my eyes realizing it wasn't a dream.
“You were very lucky.” a nurse pony said, “A few more minutes in that heat and you would have died from dehydration.”
“How long have I been in the hospital?” I asked
“Four days.” The nurse said, “Now that your awake, I will alert your visitors that they can come in.”
“Who?” I wondered
Just then, the ponies Twilight, Apple Jack, Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo. I recognized them all!
“How are you feeling?” Twilight asked
“Fine I guess.” I said trying not to cry as I thought of my parents. Even though they were mean sometimes they still raised me.
“How are yer wings? Did you break em?” Apple Jack asked
"I don't think so." I replied and as I smiled and realized I didn’t have a mouth I had a muzzle! Slowly I looked down and saw. I was fully Poniefied.
