Jack's Lament

I was falling.

The world around me was dark.

I couldn't feel, nor control, my body, therefore I was stuck inside my head for the moment. Calming down, I managed to close my eyes and meditate. Counting down from 100, then 30, I calmed my nerves and thought this through. How did this happen?

I can't believe I got tricked like that... Rachel's off with a crazy-ass hobo, and I just let it happen. God dammit, I'm so stupid!

I felt a warm light pierce my eyes. Then a voice, with no indication of male or female, spoke.

I see you wish to protect others. Then you may do so, as long as it is in your heart. I sense something in you, something that I have not seen in many others. I sense how you are loyal, faithful, honest, and willing to fight injustice. I see in you intelligence and vigilance. While you may not know, I do, and I've seen a rare spirit in you heart. The spirit of the wolf, is who you are.

Regaining my mouth, I asked, "So what, can I be a wolf now?"

I swear, I felt this thing smile, though I couldn't see it, No. That is something you must learn on your own.

At that, the other presence left, and heat blasted my face. I felt like I was falling even faster. Whips of wind hit my face. Opening my eyes, I saw clouds ahead of me. And I fell through them. I was freaking out. I saw the ground rushing to meet me. And I said the one word I could think of.

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-"

I was cut off by my crash landing, And all went black.

Fluttershy was feeding her animals. She hummed a happy tune as she went to work, carefully making sure that no food spilled, and everyone got just the right amount. Her hands were dirty, but she didn't care. She loved feeding animals, after all, they all just seemed to love-

"FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU-" *THUD*

Fluttershy jumped almost four feet off the ground. She was scared stiff, not knowing what to do, when Twilight teleported right next to her, startling her even more.

"Fluttershy! Is everything alright? I heard someone screaming really loud!" Twilight was quick, obviously pushing little matters out of her mind to uncover the mysteries surrounding this loud screaming of obscenities that occurred moments before.

"I...I...don't...know...Twilight...What's happening?" Fluttershy was shaking rapidly, her voice stuttering and barely even a whisper.

Twilight sighed, stomping off into the Everfree Forest, where the scream came from, and Fluttershy scrambled after her.

They walked in the forest for what seemed like hours, the sun slowly falling. Then they found a male person. He was out cold, not noticing the two girls approaching him. Twilight picked him up and they teleported back to Fluttershy's house. Fluttershy picked him up and took him upstairs, tucking him into his bed. Twilight left to go get their friends, and Fluttershy was by herself, left to ponder the cause of these events.

I woke up with a splitting headache. I reached up to rub my forehead. It took my body a long time to notice the fact that I wasn't laying on the ground, but, in fact, a bed. A very comfy one at that. I heard birds chirp out side, and people talking. Deciding to activate my super awesome ninja skills, I began to focus on their conversation.

"-Whadaya suppose we do?"

"I don't know, he looks like us, but he doesn't seem like he's from around here."

"Maybe he's an alien!"

"Pinkie, there is no such thing as aliens!"

"How do you know!"

I got up out of bed and walked into the hallway. Looking to my left, I saw a flight of stairs. Going down the stairs, I walked inside.

There were six girls in a living room, all chatting. One by one, they turned their heads to look at me.

One of them ran up to me, making signals, "Can. You. Understand. Me."

"Pinkie, stop!" Another girl pushed the one in my face away.

I decided to answer the question, "Why yes, I can understand you quite well."

The one now in front of me smiled, "Good. I'm Twilight Sparkle." She reached out and shook my hand. She wore a pleated skirt that was two different shades of purple, a white blouse and purple sweater vest, as well as a purple tie. Her socks went up right below the knee, and she was wearing purple sneakers. Her hair was dark purple with a pinkish highlight down the middle, and she had curious, violet eyes.

The next one to introduce themselves was the person who accused me of being an alien or foreign earlier. She bounced, literally, in front of me. "Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie!" She almost shouted in my face. She wore a bright pink T-Shirt that had big black letters on the front that read, 'Professional Cupcake Baker'. She wore tight blue jeans, and pink converse. Her hair was unbelievably curly, and it stood up, like a balloon.

After that came the third, "'Sup! I'm Rainbow Dash, Equestria's fastest!" She wore a cyan tank top with a rainbow colored lightning bolt coming out of a cloud, and tight cyan gym shorts that ended mid thing. The sides of the shorts were rainbow colored. She wore black gloves with they fingertips cut off, and white running shoes with the same image on the shirt. She had rainbow colored hair, and it was unkempt, but the look suited her. She had a unique build, her muscles were toned perfectly to her frame.

The fourth wore a dirt stained, white T-Shirt, short shorts and cowboy boots, as well as a stetson. Her blond hair was tied back, and she had a tan skin tone. "Howdy! I'm Applejack, nice to meet ya!" We shook hands. She had a firm grip, and her hands were calloused, but not rough.

The fifth was definitely the diva of their group. She had perfectly curled, purple hair. She wore a white blouse with black slacks. She had on flat soled shoes, and her skin was pale. Her face was practically drowning in makeup, I could almost hear her skin cells gurgling for help. "Hello, darling, my name's Rarity. I must say it is a pleasure to meet you!"

The last one, oh god. I don't mean this in a way of replacing Rachel, but this last one was cute. She wore a canary yellow T-Shirt and brown sweatpants. She wasn't wearing any shoes. Her long pink hair went past her shoulders, and she seemed to be blushing. "My...name's..." She trailed off in a mumble.

"What?"

She just squeaked.

Twilight stepped in, "Her name's Fluttershy. She's, well, really shy. She does this around strangers."

I sighed, "Well, thank you for your introductions. My name's Jack, Jack Parker."

They smiled.

So this place's called Equestria, huh? I thought, Not bad...
