The Drill's Tip

First story I've ever attempted to write for this site, please feel to give some advice, and enjoy!

Arrival

Simon has successfully defeated the Anti-Spirals, saved his home and ensured a safe future for his friends, but at what cost? He was all alone now, with nobody to care for him. Everything he ever loved, had slipped away, leaving him to roam the world unsatisfied. Why? Why was I the one left alive? He gripped onto the wedding ring hanging from his neck, and resumed walking. Suddenly a beam of light appeared before him, tearing apart the trees and the land before him, unable to control his curiosity, he foolishly steps into the light, knocking him unconscious.

Nia's eyes opened, and found herself in a beautiful forest surrounded with animals, flowers and lively trees. A bright blue sky above with thousands of clouds, birds sang and she could hear the pond near her splash around as the fish swam happily. She was too busy admiring her surroundings and didn't notice a particular animal in front of her. "E-excuse me, um w-who are you?"

Her face lit up and with a big smile, gave the yellow pony a nice cozy hug, she didn't even question why the pony had wings, as she'd seen stranger things before. "So cute!" she screamed with her arms wrapped around the shy pony. She finally let go of the pony and looked into her eyes, "Are there more of you? Oh sorry, I should introduce myself! I'm Nia Teppelin, what's your name?"

The yellow pony blushed greatly, but strangely didn't feel shy around Nia, "I'm Fluttershy, and yes, there are lots more of us, come with me I can show you to my friends, I'm sure they'd love to meet you. Maybe after I can show you to my animal friends too!" Fluttershy smiled and showed Nia the way to Ponyville.

Simon woke up, he quickly realized something was wrong, he was falling straight down into the floor. Panicking, he threw his arms around expecting him to somehow gain the ability to fly. Strangely enough, he realized that he was no longer falling to his death and was on the back of a flying object, he let out a sigh of relief and laid on the small cyan... thing.

The cyan creature landed on the ground, dropped Simon to the floor, and faced him. "What in the hay were you thinking?! Why were you so high up in the sky if you don't even know how to fly? I've seen some crazy stunts, but that was by far the craziest, good thing my awesomeness was there in time to catch you!"

Catching his breath, he looked up and smiled, "Thanks for that, err..."

"The name's Rainbow Dash! Best flier in Equestria!" she flew up into the sky and did a couple of small quick flips.

Simon rubbed his head, "Right... well thanks." Simon started to walk away, hoping to just go and continue his journey, pretending like this never happened.

"Hey! Wait!" Rainbow bit onto Simon's shirt trying to prevent him from leaving. "I need to show you to my friends! I gotta tell them how I just saved your life, and they won't believe me if you're not there!"

She *really** likes to brag. Well, why not, I don't even know where I am so I might as well ask around when she brings me to her friends.* Simon sighed and nodded, the two began walking down the path to Ponyville.
