Chapter 1: Death, and Arrival

I was coming home from work that day.That day that changed my life or after it happened  it was a lack there of. My name is Gavin I work... No I used to work as a mailman. I know most boring job I could get, but the pay was good. I am just above the average male in height being 5.10 ft.. I was never really ahead of the pack, unless you're talking academically. I was never physical Oh no I used my wits to get out of bad situations. As a child I was the most hyperactive bugger you ever gonna meet. some called me crazy, well, I just let the good times in life roll. I know I acted crazy but it was for one of the stupidest reasons. When I acted like that nobody could hurt me. My emotions were sealed off as my defenses just kept taking hits. When I wasn't acting crazy I was like a soft punching bag I would cry at the slightest insult or hit. Anyways......... Enough about me. Let's get to the story.

Walking home I was mumbling to myself as per usual. Nothing in particular, my job, my girlfriend, life in general. All things I mumbled about as I reached my apartment building in downtown New York City. I greeted the person who stood there just to open the door for people. I quick chat with him and I entered the lobby. I like the familiar decor of the lobby, plants on both sides of the entrance and a red rug on the entire floor. I realized I was just standing there staring into space when somebody tapped my shoulder.

"You feeling well sir?" this snapped me out of my thoughts

"Yeah just admiring the decor." came my reply. I then made a hasty retreat to the elevator. I live on the top floor of the apartment building. Which would be really unfortunate for what was about to happen.

The elevator stopped and the doors opened. I was humming quietly with my eyes closed so I would have no distractions from my soft hum. I'm sorry I had them closed. I bumped into something opening my eyes I saw it wasn't something it was someone. It was a man in a straight jacket, and he was in front of my home. I didn't get a great look at him but it looked like somehow one eye was bigger then the other, and his hair was grey.

"Oh hello there sir. Do you happen to know the man in this apartment here?" He inquired. Knowing he was actually looking for me earned a sharp "YELP!" from me. I ran back to the elevator and started pressing the down button. "HAHA! So you are Gavin I presume? Good! You came to me this won't be hard at all!!!.... Oh deary me why are you leaving?" He asked with an intense look in his eye he somehow managed to get his arms out of his straight jacket. He then preceded to... Lick the elevator door?! Following his tongue a piece of tape started to lay out which said "OUT OF ORDER!" I was confused out of my mind.

"W-W-WHAT?! How wha how? HOW DID YOU DO THAT!? It doesn't make sense how could any body do that?!" I was talking a mile a minute.

He gave me a crazy smile that would creep out anybody He replied to my question saying this. "SENSE? What fun is making sense? Oh and to answer your question my dear, it comes with practice ohhhh I just thought of something! Where you're going we can't have you talking can we?" he tapped his finger to his chin then as if he got an idea he stopped tapping and pointed his finger up with a enlightened look on his face. With a snap of his finger there was duct tape over my mouth! I pulled it off but the pain of it caused me to utter a terrible scream, now I say terrible because it did not sound well... human. Yes. It did not sound human. Also after trying to say something I found that I couldn't speak!

What the hell? Was that duct tape just a prop!? I was beginning to become very frightened by this man, and it was showing on my face. I tried to back away and the only place I could back away to was the staff entrance to the roof.Well I decided to take my chance on the roof. The cold air of the approaching night was indeed soothing despite my situation. I was leaning on the door to keep it closed as he on the other side tried to open it.

"Come on!!! I just want to talk to you! Oh wait. YOU CAN"T TALK!" I could here him laughing hysterically through the door. I looked down and saw a white flash through the bottom of the door...... That isn't here anymore!

What the hell is up with this guy? With another flash he was in front of me, but he now had an antler on his head. This served to widen my eyes even more if that was possible. A backed up as he advanced on me. Looking back I saw I was on the edge! (of glory! OK I could not resist that joke!) "Goodbye Gavin have a nice trip. I'll see you next fall!" He was again laughing hysterically as he pushed me off.

I turned my body in the air to see the people below. One person looked up and started screaming, this got the attention of the surrounding people and she pointed up. They looked up and saw me they screamed and cleared an area for my fall. Seriously nobody is gonna try to help me at all? Well the ground  was coming closer so might as well do SOMETHING memorable. I struggled to reach my pocket to get a stick of gum. After losing a few pieces I started chewing and then I spread my arms out wide and told everybody they're "#1". Which this earned a gasp from an elderly woman.

A few feat from the ground I closed my eyes and braced for pain..... But it never came, well I felt some sort of impact but it was like I was moving through Jell-O. I opened my eyes just to see..... Well.... Nothing! I was surrounded by pitch black, it still felt like I was falling though... Am I dead?.... Hmmmm It was less painful then I thought it would be..... What's going to happen now? I just kept thinking for awhile.... Well it FELT like awhile..... In some time I just got bored. I then hear the voice of that strange man.

"Well it appears we are coming to our stop thank you for riding falling bird airlines!"

I know I've thought this many times today already but.... What the hell?! There was a sudden slurping sound and then I saw a whole new landscape before me. It appears that my fall was slowing slightly too not by much but enough towards my landing won't coincide with a large, CRUNCH! There was a forest below me and in the distance to my left was a small looking village.

From this distance it was hard to tell but I could see figures in the village..... Colorful figures! It was strange and my mind was boggled so I forced myself to look down. Below me there was a hut in the forest. It looked like the roof was made of straw and the walls of wood.

Even though my fall was slowing a bit I knew it was still going to hurt, so I braced myself for the impact....... THUMP! CRUNCH! SMASH! I first crashed into the roof, then through the roof, and then onto the hard wood floor. I then heard a surprised voice say.

"What is this I see? A human crashed into my hut deep in the Ever Free!" I looked up to see a zebra with gold rings on her neck and three on her left foreleg. This is what I saw before I passed out with burning pain in my left arm and a mind that hurt almost as much but my mind hurt from thinking about the stressing events of the day.

"what will my girlfriend think?"

"Oh who cares about what those boring people think?" There was that voice of the insane man again.

"Get out of my head you freak!"

"Oh relax I brought you hear for a reason."

"Oh screw that I'm dead!"

"No you are still very much alive."

"Oh fuck no I just fell off a 45 story high building A am most certainly dead.... And another thing you are probably just a figment of my imagination!"

"Oh fine believe what you want you have a destiny here. Gooooodbyyyyeeee!"

I awoke with a start. I instantly regretted waking up, the pain in my arm was just too much to handle! I would have rather kept talking with my imagination..... I look up and the zebra is right in my face.

"The human wakes, and he is scared I can tell by the way he shakes." The zebra rhymed. I try to talk but it comes out more of a growl. The zebra flinched back. "It seems I upset thee this is true, but human's cannot understand speech. So what did I do?" More goddamn rhyming! This zebra looks familiar. Like the one from that show my girlfriend made me watch.... What was it called?... Goddamn it I'm in My Little Pony!!! What sort of twisted hell is this?

"I cannot heal thee, you see. So I wait for Fluttershy to come by!" At the moment I was distracted from the pain my arm is in, but now that she had me thinking about it I can't ignore it! There was a knocking on the door. "Come in, come in!" said the zebra. In came the yellow pegasus from the show Fluttershy. Behind her came the purple Alicorn from the show what was her name? uuhhhh.

"Hello Fluttershy, I see you brought Twilight sparkle to say hi!" Aaahhh That was her name.

"Hello Zecora! So this is the human that uuhh crashed through your roof?" asked Twilight. Zecora began to answer but was interrupted when Fluttershy saw me and charged past her to get to me.

"AAAHHHH! You poor human oh you didn't mean anything bad when you crashed through her roof now did you?" I was too tired and in too much pain resist when she hugged me and nuzzled my cheek.

Oh great! Now there is a pegasus squeezing all the air out of my lungs! My face had to turn purple for her to notice that She was hugging me too hard.

"his arm is broken but I can easily fix that with love, affection, and time, but his arm is dislocated which needs to be fixed right now." she said with a kind smile. Damn it why does she have to be so cute! Honest to god I don't like that stupid show, but I cannot lie this is an ADORABLE pegasus!

"Ok I can relocate his arm." said Twilight. This just so happened to be the last thing I heard before I screamed a animal like scream for the second time that day and blacked out from pain. The last thing I saw was an adorable yellow pegasus fainting on my lap.
