Orchid life

Ok, where the heck am I? I began to look around at my new surroundings, my young brain trying to do it's job properly. You know what, I think it would be very appropriate to ask where in Equestria I am. That's right, I somehow managed to go to Equestria. Don't ask how, it just happened. Sweet Celestia, can anything go right for me today? I woke up as a blue pegasus filly this morning, then I have to deal with my family on this matter, now I blink and... oh wait.

Nevermind, this is obviously where I'm dreaming... or it could be some crazy illuminati, inception style life I now live. Whatever, I can honestly say I'm dreaming this time, and mean it. Do I believe Equestria exists? Yes, I do actually. Do I believe one can travel from world to world by simply blinking? Not one bit. Even teleportation in MLP requires one to concentrate on the spell for it to work. But hey, why waste this great opportunity. Who knows, maybe I can even get some answers if I can find princesses Celestia and Luna in this dream world.

I head downstairs, able to actually walk with ease. Part of blending in with the dream world? Maybe. As I head downstairs, I hear a voice welcome me.

"Good morning, sweetie," The mare said, "You sleep good last night?".

I'm just going to guess that the mare in question is my mother at the moment. I hope to Celestia I'm right.

"I slept pretty good," I said, walking over to the table, "So, what's for breakfast, mom?".

"Blueberry pancakes," The mare said, "Somepony's favorite".

I'm sorry, blueberry pancakes? My favorite? Oh sweet Celestia... NO! Nope! Nein! Nada! I'm actually allergic to blueberries. This is only going to end beautifully... not.

Ok, so never mind my previous nope storm. No wonder this filly likes blueberry pancakes, they're delicious. Well, they are to this filly anyway. I wonder if this means I can eat blueberries IRL now. Maybe, I'll have to remember to try one after I awake.

I yelped when something pulled my wings. My first reaction was to look behind me, and I was rewarded with the sight of a young looking unicorn colt. His horn was lit up, and he had a grin on his face, so it was fairly obvious who had pulled my wings. I wish I could call upon this filly's memories so I could call this colt out by name. Luckily for me, the mare, who I still believe is this filly's mom, called him out for me.

"Shadow Strike, let go of your sister's wings right now," The mare scolded.

Shadow Strike? That's an interesting name for a unicorn. He's also, obviously, my, er this filly's, older brother because he has his cutie mark already. Anyway, he let go like he was told to, but never bothered to apologize.

Knock, knock, knock

Mom (yes, I'll call her that until proven otherwise) got up and walked over to open up the door.

"Sky, a couple of your friends are at the door, waiting for you," Mom said after about a minute.

Was that this filly's name? Sky? Ok, that's good to know. At the very least, I now have a name to go by IRL so I don't have to think of one to fit my new body and personality on my own.

"Sky Orchid, get on over here already," Mom said, "It's rude to keep your friends waiting like this".

Sky Orchid? I was named after a flower? The "Sky" part I can understand, my coat is blue, like the sky, after all. But surely mom didn't expect me to be delicate or a flower girl later on in life. Wait a second, am I really so used to this body that I'm actually already referring to it as my own? Whatever, better go to the door before I get in trouble for being "rude".

I open my eyes to see that I am back in the real world. I don't even have to experiment to tell that I'm still a filly. If my pink mane wasn't a giveaway, the size of the couch and everybody in the room sure was. I believe the dream was there simply to let me know what my name should be. I'll be the first to admit, "Sky Orchid" wouldn't be my ideal first choice, but it was the name of the filly that once owned this body, so I'll keep it for that reason alone. After all, who am I to change the name for this body, even if it's mine now?

"Have a good nap?" Someone asked.

It took me a few seconds to realize my mom, my human mom, was talking to me.

"It was alright," I said, yawning, "I found out my name should now be 'Sky Orchid' by the way".

"I'm sorry, what?" Mom asked, arching an eyebrow.

"In my dream, I, the filly, was called 'Sky Orchid'," I explained, "So that shall be my new name now. Not my ideal name, but it was the filly's name before I somehow obtained her body, so I'll use it".

"No, you won't," Mom said, "I absolutely refuse to call you by the name of a pony from a cartoon for little girls".

"Call me 'Tony' or 'Anthony' if you want," I said, "I won't respond. This may be my body now, but it wasn't before last night, so I'll only go by "Sky" or "Sky Orchid" now to honor the memory of the filly whose body I now control. You don't have to like it, you just have to accept it".

My family is obviously going to take way longer to adapt to this than me, but they don't really have a choice unless they want to put me up for adoption at the local animal shelter... wait, would they do that? Sweet Celestia, I hope not.
