Things With Wings

Chapter 1: Six Days of Nothing

My eyes slowly went from closed to open. I got up and let out a big yawn. Being a mailkoopa was really hard to begin with. However, I only needed to deliver mail one day per week, but even then I needed to travel through the entire Mushroom Kingdom to deliver mail. Not that I mind, but it is so tiring.

I just did my weekly duty yesterday, so I have six days until I need to do...well, anything. I could do anything I wanted to for the next six days.

I went into my closet and I was greeted with exactly what you'd expect. Clothes. I closed the door and sighed, realizing what I was looking for wasn't in there. I flew to my nightstand and opened the bottom drawer. I saw a red, glowing sphere. That's what I was looking for. Princess Peach gave this to me as a reward for helping Mario save her. Mario and his partners (which includes myself) got a present, but none of us opened our present until we each got home. You could easily tell Goombario wanted to open it the moment he got it.

Anyway, I never got to use my present before. I was going to, but I have mail delivering to do!

Picking up the sphere, I marveled at the red light it was giving off. Suddenly, it broke in two and projected an image. "Is this where you want to go?" It said. Some technology you got there, Princess! There was a text box were I could tell it where I wanted to go, but there was already text in the box. It read:

"EQUESTRIA"

Despite not even knowing where or what Equestria is, I tapped the "Yes" button out of curiousity. I hand went through, so apparently this is a hologram. A red wind surrounded me, and I was teleported.
