My New Life In Equestria

Hello, the name's Robert. I'm 17 years old, I'm African American, I live with my parents and little brother, and I have never been more confused in my life right now. I should probably start from the beginning.

It was well into the late afternoon. I was walking home from school, listening to some music that was playing on my phone, when I noticed the clouds started rolling in and the winds picked up and rain came pouring down. I was forced to pick up the pace into a full-on sprint. After a few good minutes of running I made it home.

"Mom, dad I'm home," I said as I opened the door. "What's for dinner?"

The house was quiet, usually there would be the sound of the TV blaring as my brother and dad would sit in front of watching sports or the latest episode of their favorite show. I walked into the kitchen where there was a note sitting on the counter. It read:

Dear Robert,

We'll be gone for a few hours. There's food in the fridge in case you get hungry. Don't worry about your brother he's staying at his friend's house.

Love, Your Mom & Dad

"Cool, I got the house to myself," I said as I smirked.

After reading the note, I crumpled it and threw into the trash. I then got the food out of the fridge and put the plate in the microwave to warm it up. Once, I finished my dinner I went up to my room to get started on my homework.

"Ok, time to get started," I said as I pulled out my work.

After thirty minutes of doing homework, I finally finished. I leaned back in my chair and sighed in relief as the burden of doing homework was lifted from my shoulders. I then went down to the family room to watch some TV. After a few minutes of watching TV, I got bored and decided to go to bed.

Suddenly, a swirling vortex appeared out of nowhere and some unknown force was pulling me towards it. I clawed at the floor as I desperately tried to get away. After a few seconds of resistance, I finally gave in to the mysterious force and let myself get dragged into the vortex.

Twilight's POV

I was on the balcony of my home looking at the stars, when suddenly a portal opened in the sky and a strange object came shooting out and land somewhere in the everfree forest.

"Sweet Celestia, what was that?" I asked.

I hurried back inside to where I saw spike was moving around.

"Hey Twilight," he said in a panicked tone. "What was that loud boom?"

"I don't know what that was. I was just about to go see what was that I saw in my telescope," I said,

As, I made my way to the door and opened it I was met with the gazes of my friends. It looked like they had just woken up.

"Did you see the light in the sky?" I asked them.

"Well, I didn't but the noise woke me up," Rarity said.

"I saw it as well, the noise startled all my animals," Fluttershy said.

"I was just about to go check it out. Do you want to come?" I asked. "Spike, I want you to send a letter to Princess Celestia, telling her about the light in the sky and how my friends and I are going to check it out. And if possible join us just in case this turns out to be a threat to all of Equestria."

With that said we hurried out the door and towards the everfree forest. When we got to the crash site my jaw dropped at the sight before me. There was a huge crater in front of us, towards the center of the crater there was a sphere of golden aura just floating in the center hovering stationary.

Then there was a flash of light that occurred in front of and suddenly Princess Celestia was standing there looking at me and my friends.

"I came as soon as I got the letter, whatever this we will face this together" she said.

"Right," we all agreed.

As, we made our way down to the center the orb began to pulsate a low hum as it began to shine brighter. This caused me and my friends to get into a defensive stance. But then strangely something happened the orb shine brightly for one last time. It was so bright we all had to cover our eyes. Then when the light subsided, the unconscious form of a weird bipedal creature took the orb's place.

"What is that thing?" Rainbow Dash asked while slowly inching towards.

"I don't know, but there is something strange about it," Princess Celestia,

Then out of nowhere we hear a groan come from it.

Robert's POV

The first thing on my mind when I wake up is how much my head hurts. The good thing is that I'm alive and that vortex didn't kill me. I groan as I sit up and notice that I was in a forest, upon closer inspection I noticed seven horses looking at me. Two unicorns, two pegasuses, two regular horses, and one winged unicorn. Then the tall, white, winged unicorn does something  that completely blows my mind. It speaks!!!

"Hello there, my name is Princess Celestia, I personally welcome you to Equestria," it says in a regal tone of voice.

I looked at her with confusion. Then after a few seconds of uncomfortable silence, the small purple unicorn walked towards me.

"Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle. May I ask what your name is?" the purple one said.

"Uh, Twilight? Ah don't think it knows how to speak," the orange one said.

"Maybe I can get through to it?" asked the yellow one, but the tone was barely above a whisper.

"Something seems off about it, and it's certainly not its fashion sense" the white one said, while looking like she was about to faint.

"Who know's it could be violent," the blue one said.

"Do you think it likes parties?" the pink one, who looked she was on an indefinite sugar rush, said.

I still stood there blinking like an idiot for the past minute, before I pinched myself in the arm to see if I was dreaming. When that didn't work I braced myself as I punched myself in the side, to which the seven horses looked at me confused. After coming to terms that this was actually real. I did what any person in my position would do. I freaked out and passed out like a wuss.
