Just before I woke up for the first time in Equestria, I had this dream, a dream that I was back at Cole's house, the computer room to be exact. I felt sad in the reminiscence of it all, but it was something different. I thought I'd loose my cutie mark again. Josh came in as he looked shocked at our sad faces. "Why the long face? I know I was being forced to do things, but I didn't even abandon you. Did something happen?"

That was when I spoke. But not before hearing some thumping coming from the staircase. Must've been Cole. "I love my cutie mark, but somehow, looking at it somehow brings me down. I feel like I'm gonna have to say goodbye to it. I mean, look at Wiretap. He's gotten a great cutie mark too, but he's probably going to have to say goodbye to that -too." I groaned as I felt an ache on my left wing trying to hide it by holding it with my hoof and tried to fold the wings. Josh didn't respond. But the pain was too much to bear. I felt unconscious as I fell to the floor with a white light in Josh's direction. That was when I woke up.

Today, I finally yawn until I find myself not in Josh's room anymore but a room I've never seen before. It feels silent, cold, hard and motionless, not warm and fuzzy with an elevation rhythm I could sleep to with some of my favorite songs. No River Flows in You, no Dead Island Trailer Music, no Sunset in Equestria but most of all, no Inevitabilis.

I'm never going to get used to that, a kind of awaking tired that is very lonely, so lonely I walk back to this bed and start to cry.

I think it's been about four hours since I started crying. That's when six ponies come through a distant door. I leap onto my four hooves still expecting to land somewhere above or below where I actually do land. I walk out of the bedroom but not before the six ponies come to greet me at the door of the room.

A winged yellow mare peeps in first. "How's our favorite pony doing? Better?"

I sniffle a bit. "Actually worse."

"What? Really?" Another winged mare, blue coat with a rainbow mane, peeps in with the other. "Like, how bad?"

"No music, no elevation rhythm... nothing. I was not on the bed I was used to. I was just on 'a' bed."

A completely pink mare peeps in now. "Well, duh! It was 'your' bed you were just sleeping on, sleepy head, ever since you've been here. Getting you home probably knocked you out." And now an orange one with a blonde mane and a country hat.

"Well, you have no idea how long it took us to get ya back. It's took almost three times as long to get ya back here as an alternate version of ourselves did getting that Rainbow Dash back to their universe."

"Wait, who's Rainbow Dash?" Now I'm confused.

"That would be me." The blue mare flies straight inside the room.

"And the others of you are..."

"Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and my name's Fluttershy." Gee, I can't guess what the yellow mare's personality is. The other two mares walk in. "And these two are Twilight and Rarity, although I'm sure you know us already."

"Actually, no I don't but thank you for introducing me to you guys anyway. But when I did hear Equestria for the first time out of this white winged unicorn thing, it did ring a bell. I'm pretty sure it works like it did in Crazy Maze."

"So, does this Crazy Maze play of yours take place in Equestria?" Twilight says.

"By the way, that 'white winged unicorn thing' is actually Princess Celestia." Rarity walks towards me as I head back to... ahem... the bed.

"Pretty much. From what I learned of it, all the ponies have their own ability, like flight, strength, spirit channeling, levitation, illumination... and from what I remember about this show, there was a Summer Sun Celebration."

"Looks like somepony's been doin' their homework. I'm proud of ya rememberin' this here land." Applejack tilts her hat forward to me.

"Maybe for the wrong reasons though. Tail Flight merely just saw-" I stop Rarity.

"Wait. How do you know my name? I haven't introduced myself yet."

"You already did that when we all first met in Baltimare. It wasn't terribly long ago." Rarity comes closer to me as I back toward the pillow.

"Sorry but all I remember prior to as a pony on Earth was just running around flightless at around thirty miles an hour each day."

"Maybe this big old hug will jog your memory."

Pinkie leaps into my bed which flings me across with Pinkie catching me and hugging me twice as tight as Josh ever did. "Uh! Pinkie! Choking! Not! Breathing!" By now I was waiting for Josh to say something like "punctuated for emphasis" or other. Twilight just sighs.

"Choking all the way to Pandama, are you? I can help you with that." Twilight proceeds to levitate Pinkie back to the door as I try to breathe in and out again.

"No, I do not remember that at all."

"Nothing? Well, I tried my best. How about you have a go Dashie!" Why did it ring a bell when Pinkie called Rainbow Dash, Dashie? Oh well, as long as it'll get them to leave.

"Gettin' one o' them 'deja vu' moments, I see." Applejack tilts her hat at me.

"No, it's not really a deju vu. It's just I heard that name in an audio book." I jump out of my bed and step towards the closet.

"Well, it must have been a memoir or something. But, If you need anything, we're happy to help." Twilight walks up to me with a welcoming smile on her face. As she does though, I see she has wings like that large white mare.

"Really?"

"Well, yes." Twilight nods.

"Thank you so much!" I hug Twilight as she returns it.

As I hug Twilight though, I see her cutie mark glowing. Everyone stops, looking at their cutie marks. It's weird seeing ponies' cutie marks glowing. "Do they always do that?"

"Somewhat. Hey guys, I think we should get goin'. A certain map is callin' us." Rainbow Dash is the first to exit.

"Okay. Bye."

Pinkie bounces toward the door. "Ajos imago!"

"Have a good afternoon!" Rarity waves heading out the door.

Twilight trots with Applejack out of the room. "See ya Tail Flight."

The door levitates closed as I get back to my bed. As I do, I hit the floor. I can't control my wings flailing out. Then as I blink, I see a whole different place than where I just was. Over there, I can see Josh. Around me are one of my feathers, Josh's phone, and a note. I try to head for Josh but I can't control my body. I've got to be hallucinating. I finally get to see Josh only to find out it was for the price of locomotion? I start crying again. "I wanna move!" But all that changes when Josh comes over and gets the note from the items surrounding me. I blink and I'm back to the room I was just in. I move my hooves successfully. But now, no Josh.

Author's Note

In Flimmiacian, Ajos imago means Goodbye friend if it's coming from a male or Goodbye friendship if it's coming from a female. By now, Pinkie could know about almost every language there is to know about, considering how hyperactive she tends to get.
