                                                            Chapter two: What the Bucking Hay!

  Hooves. I had hooves.

  I gingerly stood up, balancing myself out, and examined the rest of me.

  I had a silky white coat with a flowing aqua blue mane. My tail was the same color, tied in a bow and braided. I realized, I had wings too. I stretched them out and flapped them. Then, I got another shocking realization. I had a horn too.

  What the ever loving frig!

  I noticed a small pond a few yards away. "Good, I can get a better look at my self." I said. I took a few steps forward, and realized it was pretty easy to walk, or should I say trot? Well, I 'trotted' over to the pond and gazed up my reflection. I had bright teal eyes. I noticed on my rear end, or for horses it's a flank, I had a mark. I looked at it, and saw it was a ruby with a crescent moon encircled around it.

  Weird....

  I turned around, and was greeted by a loud, "Oh my goodness!"

  I found my self face to face with a unicorn. What else does this place have, dragons? She was my height, and had a white coat like mine, but her mane and tail were purple and curled. She had dark blue eyes and a mark on her flank too, but it was three shining diamonds.

  "Uh... hi?" I said sheepishly. "My my, I've didn't know there was another alicorn in Equestria. Are you royalty, darling?" she said examining me, which made me feel awkward. "Um... no. Why, is it normal for 'alicorns' to be royalty?" I asked, testing out my new vocabulary. "Yes, all the known alicorns are. Like Celestia and Luna-" she said, but stopped.

  "Oh my, where are my manners. I haven't even introduced myself. I'm Rarity, fashonista and designer extraordinaire." she bowed. "Oh, my name's Amber." I smiled. "Amber, not a common pony name... but so exotic! Anyways darling, come with me. You must explain everything. You also must meet my friends, they'll be so happy to meet yet another alicorn!" she smiled, ushering me into a small town near where I just popped up. "Oh... alright." I said unsure, as I followed her.

  Apparently, Rarity even had her own business in Ponyville(Rarity said that's what the town was called). It was a small boutique, where she designed and sold outfits for the people- sorry, ponies- of Ponyville.

  As we walked in, I was taken aback by all the outfits. Most of them were beautiful dresses, but their were some specially made outfits for boys- or is it colts and stallions now?

  "Wow, Rarity, you've got some talent." I said, examining a midnight blue dress decorated with the moon and stars. "Well, I don't like to gloat, but it's part of why I got my cutie-mark. Finding jewels too-""Cutie-what?" I interrupted her.

  She looked at me curiously. "Do you not know what a cutie-mark is? I mean, you have one on your flank." she tilted her head slightly. "Oh, that's what it's called. I had no idea... strange." I replied. "Yes, strange indeed. Come Amber, I'm taking you to Twilight." she said pulling my hoof and leading me out the door. "Who's Twilight?" I asked.

  She stopped and looked at me. "You don't know Princess Twilight Sparkle?" she asked me. I shook my head to say no. "Okay then, you really need to see her."
