An Unexpected Journey

Chatper 1: It Begins

Hi there. My name is Journal Seeker. My life is...a weird life to say the least. Adventurous, yes, but...it's dangerous. Not just for me, but for my family and everyone I love...Not that I have to care about my family, they're already dead.

I'm going to tell you the story about my life in Equestria. How I came to be a pony and how I came to be a human...Not human.

~~~

Equestria.

I always wished it was real. The ponies, the unicorns, the pegasi....everything. I joined in on the brony conversations, went to the conventions, and read the fanfictions. I was a brony by heart, but there was always something weird with me.

I wouldn't go to sleep until near midnight, thinking about ponies. And even weirder is that I dream about ponies.

This all started when I joined the fandom, somewhere after season three finished. I just shrugged it off as me just being an awesome brony. It didn't get too serious until I started reading fanfictions about Humans in Equestria. That's when I started to dream I was a pony.

I never thought about it much, but my thoughts would always drift onto my dreams. Why was I dreaming about that? I always ask myself. It made no sense. I shouldn't be that obsessed with ponies. All I do that's pony related was wake up at 7:30 A.M on Saturday to watch the new episode of MLP and read fanfiction. I'm not obsessed with ponies.

But why do I dream I'm a pony?

I had no answer to that question. No answer until one faithful day. A day that changed my life dramatically. A day I wished never happened.

It started like any other day. I wake up, get dressed, brush my teeth and other things. I eat a quick breakfast and get my backpack and walk out of the house and off to school.

As I walked down the sidewalk to my school, I noticed that the streets were empty. It was almost normal. I usually wake up really early and there were only a few cars on the streets, but today there were none, which was odd because there was always a few cars on the street. Always.

What worried me more was that I was the only one on the sidewalk. Maybe I should have asked one of my friends to walk with me to school because it was too quiet.

I stopped in mid-step and looked around. No one. It was way too quiet. It reminded me of one of those psycho killer movies. The person is alone and all is quiet before the killer pops up and stabs the person.

I turned my head back forward so I could start walking, when I came face to face with a pink skinned, blue eyed, girl who oddly had pink curly hair. I would have been scared shitless if the face didn't remind me of someone, but I screamed anyway.

"AHH!!" And that was me screaming like a little girl. Which is funny because I'm sixteen.

"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to scare you hehe," The stranger said back to me, but I continued to scream like a little girl. I screamed for a few minutes before I calmed down enough to look at the stranger.

"Who are you?!" I knew the answer to that question but I just couldn't put my finger on it. Long story short, I didn't know the answer.

"Oh you silly filly. I'm Pinkie Pie!" The stranger exclaimed with a wide smile.

Pinkie Pie?! No that can't be right! Pinkie Pie is NOT real. But the fact that she was right in front of me says otherwise. What did she break the forth-wall or something?

"Actually, yes I did," Pinkie said her smile growing bigger. How was that even possible?

"Well that would-." I stopped mid-sentence as I took in the fact that Pinkie read my mind. Pinkie read my mind. "Wait! How'd you do that?!"

"Do what?" I swear on Luna's gorgeous flank that she was playing with me. I really do.

"Okay, okay. First off, how are you on earth? And second, what are you doing on earth?"

"Well silly filly, I rather random as you know and I can travel though the multiverse far better than that Doctor pony and it just so happens earth and Equestria are rather close. As for the second one...You'll find out soon." Pinkie's smile had turned into a smirk. Wait what? That can't be right. Pinkie never smirks. She only smiles and frowns. Well not only but still. Something was very, very wrong.

"What do-." I never got to finish my sentence when something hard and heavy fell on my head. In the next moment I was out cold. Pinkie has come to my world, can travel through the multiverse, and dropped something heavy on my head. What had I gotten involved in?

~~~

I groaned. My head hurt like I was hit with a brick, which I probably was. I opened my eyes slowly so I wouldn't get blinded by the sunlight. It was dark. Wait that's not right. I opened my eye wide as I stared up at the sky. Stars. There were stars. A realization hit me. It was nighttime! How long have I been out?

I quickly sat up. My arms and legs felt...weird. I really hope that brick didn't fall on my legs and bruise me. I looked down and my legs. My eyes widened at what I saw. Hooves. Thank you moonlight! I don't know what I would have done without you! I was being sarcastic by the way.

I started hyperventilating. This is not possible! I can't have hooves! I kept telling myself that, but the fact that they were right in front of my face was not helping one bit.

"Okay calm down. I'll figure this out. I just need to calm down." I told myself as I looked around where I was. You would have guessed that Pinkie would drag me some where safe right? Wrong! All I could see were trees and the fact that I was in a clearing of sorts. I was in a forest. Fan-diddly-tastic!

"Ugh! Wait...What is that feeling on my back," I asked myself as I looked at my back. And would you guess what I found? Wings. I am an actual Pegasister now. Great. What could possibly happen now!? And just as I thought that, guess what? I heard growling.

Oh god. Luna! Celestia! I love you both! Just please not let that be timber-wolves! Please! I didn't even have time to look over my pony body! Not that I really care about that last one.

The growling got louder and my mind was racing. I can't run! I don't know how to run with these pony legs! Why me?! What did I ever do?! Nothing other than be a brony by heart.

Unsuprisingly, I could see the silhouette of three wolf like creatures. I knew exactly what they were. I wsh you would rot in hell timber-wolves...I really do.

All three timber-wolves jumped at me. I threw my...forelegs up over my face and closed my eyes, waiting to my demise...Nothing happened. I even dared to open one of my eyes.

What I saw shocked me. There is the darkness of the night I saw the silhouette of a pony fighting off the timber-wolves. I watched with shock and fear. Shock because there was another pony here in the Everfree and fear for the pony who had just saved me might get really hurt of die. Hell, I was even feeling a little bit amazed.

The pony opened his leathery wings and launched himself at one of the timber-wolves. The timber-wolf and the pony both rolled a few feet closer to me. The pony stomped his hooves until the timber-wolf was a pile of wood.

"Well don't just sit there Miss. Journal! Run," The pony shouted at me.

I blinked and remembered my situation. I quickly got up on my hooves and turn head over tail, running...or would it be galloping? Anyway, I was running for my life. The fact that I was running with these pony legs slipped my mind as I ran. I just kept running and running, not looking back at the pony who saved me.

I easily ran out of the clearing and into the forest. Was running into the forest the best idea? I asked myself as I kept running. A few minutes later and I found a dirt path. I decided to follow the path and hope it lead me out of the forest.

I kept running until I collapsed. I laid there on the dirt path, breathing heavily. Who saved me? Better question why did he call me Journal? I thought about thoses questions as I laid on the ground. I laid there for what felt like hours, but it could have been minutes, until I heard hoof-steps.

I closed my eyes, not caring. This is all just a dream. I will wake up and find that I slept in. Yeah. That's right. I'm still on earth and not in Equestria. I told myself as I laid there. I told myself over and over, but I couldn't get rid of the feeling that this is real and that I really was in Equestria. A few minutes, or seconds, past and I fell into a dreamless slumber.
