A Different Reflection

By TheFablequestria

(For some reason, I cant view my images I uploaded on chapter 1.)

Watching season 5 of My Little Pony, I was amazed at how the animated characters behaved and looked.

'Damn, the animations, fanart, show, all cute, amazing, cool... it's odd how this all started with an unpopular generation 1 with young females loving the show and scarce males.. evolving into generation 4, the master age, with almost half the world I presume, falling head over hooves for it.'

But...what would it really be like to first person experience life in Equestria? At that moment I didn't know what it would be like.. but soon I would. As the time passed, I found myself half asleep from browsing all the different fanart and projects of the brony fandom. Deciding I had enough for one day, I turned off my tablet and slept.

The dream that night was different. I found myself in the middle of an empty room, with a door standing solemnly in front of my vision. Unlike the white background of the interior, it was colorful...yet strange at the same time. I walked slowly towards the door, overviewing my choice, and turned the knob.

I woke up, still in a bed., but just not the same.

"Waah!" I cried out in shock when I saw a snout at the bottom of my vision.

"Woah!!! Look at this! I have hair all over and fur, and hooves, a snou-" 'Does that mean...?' " I'm a pony!"

Suddenly the pony loving part of my brain exploded! (Or expanded, i'm not a genius). "OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH HOW IS THIS HAPPENING  IM IN EQUESTRIA AS A PONY THIS IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED IM A PONY!" "...but.. how?"

I've always wanted to be in Equestria, as a mare/filly preferably, don't ask. I just don't approve the idea of being a colt or stallion. "Okay, so, my coat is really soft, my hooves are kind of sensitive.. my voice.. female. But, I could probably guess my gender and stuff by just looking at how soft my coat and how sensitive my hooves are.. I think. But am I a filly or mare?" Even though the answer was kind of obvious to me.

Then I realized something about my location. "Wait, if I'm a pony.. I'm in Equestria? But if I'm in Equestria, where in the hay-", I paused seeing the error in my speech. "Am I?" I  stopped again, thinking about what happens when I say another word like.. hell? Would it be replaced with another pony word? I already knew about two pony words, like pony feathers, and hay... . "That's odd, I can't say hay. Hay. Haey. Hael. Haaaeelll. Hell. Wow. Uh, that's pretty.. uh... Cool? Weird? Like, I blurt out hay instead of hay.." I giggled.

"This is pretty fun..I'm not even going to bother correcting myself". 'Oh I can get used to this..' I gasped. "Do I have a cutie mark? Do the mane six exist? Does-" I stopped. "So many questions.. I need to look around and get used to this place... even though this may be my home."

"Hmm.. now, to get on all four hooves.. uh.. wha..?" I tried to stand on all fours after dismounting the bed, and fell. I grinned. "This is gonna be so awesome!". After failing about 2 more times, I could finally get up.. sort of.. "Woahh.. and Twilight can't stand on two legs very well when she went into the human world.. well Twilight, I kind of understand your struggle..." I was standing, but still kind of unbalanced.

The exit was to my right. There was a cabinet and a vanity. I trotted to the door. "Seems like I push the door open with my hoof." The door opened. There was a hallway going from my left to right. Another door, supposedly a bathroom, stood to my right. "The moment of truth" I whispered to myself.

I put my hooves onto the sink for support, and then admired my pony-self in the mirror. "Woooahh.. this is so awesome..". I examined the reflection for a bit."Hmm.. I-I'm.. a filly? But first, maybe I should ask for confirmation, even though it's quite obvious I am a filly, but asking might actually help me with conversations.. I guess.  And I'm also kinda glad to be an unicorn." I smiled, noticing the small horn resting on my forehead.

"Time to go outside." I trotted down the hallway and passed a kitchen and living room. And then in front of me, was the gateway to Equestria. "Well, here goes." I pushed the door open and, after being blinded by the bright sunlight, I saw... Ponyville. Stallions, mares, passing by. A whole bunch of houses. 'The sky seems to have not been cleared yet.' I trotted outward, away from my house, and fell once more. A kind mare saw me and came over. "Are you okay?", she asked.

"Yes, I'm fine, thanks for checking on me".

"No problem". She smiled. 'Wow, I wonder if everypony is this kind.'

"Hey! Wait a moment please!" I called to her.

"Hmm?"

"Would you say if I'm a filly or mare?"

"Uhh.. you look like a filly?" She replied, a bit puzzled by the strange yet obvious question.

Leaving the kind stranger with a small wave, I trotted around Ponyville, as I was getting the hang of moving around, searching for Sugarcube Corner, or at least Twilight Sparkle's library, or see if I can spot Cloudsdale, or that Carousel Boutique. Or Fluttershy's house, or Sweet Apple Acre's, or anything I recognize, really. I wanted to explore the area that I had dreamed of, and my excitement was quite obvious. I tried to find one of the locations, but all I saw is  some shops, houses, I also talked to some more ponies, and, after looking around for a few minutes, I decided to just give up and go home. I just sat on the blanket on the ground in the living room and played with my tail. 'Well.. what else can I do?' I muttered before letting out a big yawn, which kind of enforced my decision. I decided to take a nap, which actually seemed fun, since I'm a pony now, so I curled up and slept, pony style on the blanket.

After a few hours, I woke up again, and found myself not back on Earth on my bed, but still on the blanket I had chose to sleep on before. 'So this isn't a dream!' "AWESOME!" I went to the kitchen to see if I can find cereal or something, as my tummy was growling a bit. Sadly, there were mostly carrots in the fridge, all all the other snacks were up on the top shelf far out of my reach. Because I didn't want to do such a foolish idea like attempting to climb up, I pondered for a while, while staring hungrily at the possible treats in that closed container.

"Wait, why not just use telekinesis? That must be easy enough." I concentrated as hard as I could to open the cabinet, but to no avail.

"Maybe if I close my eyes, that would increase focus? Or if I imagined the room like how it is. And open the cabinet like that? I don't really know.. I'll try and see if this method works.." I closed my eyes and drew a mental picture of the room. I then tried focusing on the mental cabinet and made it open mentally. I heard something collide. I got so scared I jumped. "WAAAH!! Wait, I OPENED IT!" The cabinet door had hit the fridge.

Odd, that was quite a loud impact that I had heard.. but then again, I'm new to this. "Now, let's see, plates, cereal..." I used telekinesis to retrieve the cereal and a bowl, and just as I was close to placing the items on the table, something else crashed. I seemed to be getting the hang of being a unicorn filly, but I wasn't a pro at this. "Oh!" Some of the plates fell and broke. There were sharp chunks all over the floor. "OW!" A shard lodged itself into my far right hoof. I tried to bite it and pull it out, but failed.

Deciding I should just eat later, I tried to make my way to the outside door, not taking the risk to climb upstairs and search for medical supplies in this condition. I exited and every step I took, It hurt so badly. I was really young, and, well, I couldn't hold it in.. and my strength was really low in this body and... it hurt so much. I started crying outside near my house. My ears were fallen back without control. Finally, somepony, a stallion to be exact, came over.

"Woah, calm down miss!" He shouted.

Noticing my injury, he came closer and examined it.

"Do you need any help? Where are your parents? Do you have a guardian?"

'Guardian..' " I DON'T HAVE ANY!" I cried even harder. He looked at me with shock.

"You don't have parents or a guardian?" Wow. So all of a sudden I'm an orphan or something? "Well, I would love to take care of you but-" My crying was uncontrollably loud, interrupting him. He then saw the shard and he bit on it, pulling it out, stopping a large quantity of pain. "Like I said, I would love to take care of you but I can't. I'm sincerely sorry." Well.. what could I say?

"Oh... thanks for the help.. *sniff sniff* it means alot.." I whimpered as he took some cloth from my house and bandaged my injured hoofs. I had to trust him, since I needed some time to make my hoof stay on the ground and not wince.

".. No problem.." He trotted off. I was feeling down, and very sad. I looked at my tail. It was to my right. It went slowly back and forth, without my will, as I was not knowing what to do. After a while, another pony who saw me came over.

"Are you ok? I saw what happened... do you want me take care of you?"

I looked up with tears still in my eyes. "Y-y-you can?". She smiled at me and gently wiped my tears away.

"Course". I hugged her.

"T-thank you". '..She makes me feel.. like I have... somepony...there for me..'. We went into my house. She trotted, while I bounced up and down after her happily, forgetting my injury, causing me to fall again.

She came to my aid. "Are you okay?". I replied happily,

"It does hurt, but because of you, I am now!" we both laughed. I got back up and we went to the living room. She told me, "You stay here, and I'll fix you something to eat, I bet your hungry". As she went to the kitchen, I waited for my food, feeling so happy, even happier than ever before, even happier than the moment I realized about the discovery (about me becoming a pony). I have somepony to take care of me! I lied down on the small carpet, deep in my thoughts.

In about a minute, she came back in with a cereal bowl and spoon floating towards me, setting them on the glass table in front of the couch. "Eat up!" She smiled. She levitated the spoon into the bowl, and it came out with milk and cereal in it. The spoon was near my mouth. I opened my mouth and happily ate the cereal. 'I love her... in a good way.'

After I was done eating, she went to the kitchen to the deliver the bowl and spoon, with me right beside her. She cleaned up and washed the dishes.

"Hey, do you want to go out for a bit?" Well, I'm glad she asked.

"Where to?"

"To a park." She replied.

"YAY!" 'this, is gonna be fun!'. After she was done cleaning, I followed her to the door, and we trotted to the park.

"Come along now, we will talk along the way." I trotted after her. "So.. about you and me.. we didn't exactly introduce ourselves.. allow me. I'm Peachy Keen. And who might you be?". 'Oh no... I'm nameless!!!' "Is something wrong sis?"

"Huh? Oh uh... no.." Just then, a name popped in my head, as I fell once more. "Uhh.. I'm SkyRose." 'SkyRose!?! How the hay did that happen? It seems like I know the name, but I actually don't. Is it like a name connected to this body? Because I doubt I switched bodies with this pony, so it can't be one of her memory.'

"What a lovely name sis", she commented. Well... I guess it kind of is?  The park stood in front of me. A whole bunch of fillies, younger than me, and some ponies about my age (I think) .

"Go and play, I'll just sit on this bench". Okay, I guess I could... I galloped- wait galloped!?! I fell facefirst  into the stairs leading up to the slide. ' Darn injury... I got back up and climbed up the slide, sat, and slid down.

'Let's try the swings'. I trotted over to the swings, fell again, got back up and attempted to get onto the swings. My siste- I mean.. uh.. friend.. helped me up and pushed me on the swings.

We quietly went back home as the night fell, after a whole day of playing with the other fillies and her in the playground. She turned to me as she closed the door, smiling as she saw me yawn again.

I asked Peachy.. "Why did you come to my need? I'm pretty sure nopony  else would've taken care of me.." She looked at me sadly.

"To be honest, I can't find my parents and guardians either. Hay, I'm not even sure they exist." Oh.. there were tears forming in her eyes.

"It's okay." I came and hugged her. I whispered to her, "We have each other.." Peachy smiled at me with tears still in her eyes.

"That is true... and that makes me feel a lot better.."

"Hey, do you want to go into the living room and read a book with me?" She asked. How could I resist?

"Yes please, that would be wonderful!" I replied.

We trotted back into the wonderful living room, and we sat on the couch. Heh, pony style. She grabbed a book using her horn (telekinesis, of course), and set it down on the glass table, and began flip the pages and read. I was right beside, her cuddled up, looking at the book. 'Now's the time..' "Can I call you.. sis?". I waited for the response, hoping I made the right choice.

"Yes you may, sis." I soon began to close my eyes, and slept beside her, the moon rising as I found new comfort in the new life that I was experiencing.
