Destination Unknown

Sounds of equipment rustling and people moving fill the room as I look down and examine my gear. My black and navy blue suit is in perfect condition. As always my patch that says 'McCallum' was there.

"Mac", I look back and see my comrade standing behind me " you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be", I say, sounds of rustling stops as an all too familiar alarm fills the room. A flash of light emits from the circular ring in front of us "squad move out."

Just as I step through 'the gate' I look at my friend again. "Hey John", he looks up,
" when we get on the other side.....give 'em hell" , we both grin as we step through.

The room vanishes as I'm pulled through, G-forces would tear any living being apart, if not for the fact that our atoms break down and reform on the other side. Then ....blackness.
*********************
I wake up with a groan. 'Why was I unconscious' I thought to myself. I will myself to get up, but I find myself not able to push my body up. Curious I look at my hands.....only they're not hands....their hooves.

"HOLY SHIT!", as I yelled this, I fell into pure panic as I also wonder where I'm even at. " John, a-are you there", no response. I decided to examine my han- hooves again. They were a charcoal grayish color, and so was the rest of my body.

While fascinated by my hooves I notice a tail, particularly my tail. I admire its charcoal gray and light gray color and and I can only assume my hair is the same color as my tail. With this recent finding I get up and decide to look for any signs of life.

It took a few hours to get used to my new Equine physique, but I managed. Soon I got the hang of it and, walked (trotted) a bit faster. I observe my surroundings and conclude that I'm in some sort of forest. The creepy scenery doesn't bother me much, I've seen much worse after all. Much, much worse...'hmm I wonder.....John and the rest of the squad or probably searching for me....either that or they have presumed I'm dead, no matter right now. I need to press onward towards my current situation, finding help.'

I finally get out of this seemingly forsaken forest and look around and see fields. Its also night out, which I would have appreciated more if I wasn't confused as hell. I take at my surroundings again and notice a cottage, "finally....life", and I hastily make my way to it.

Hesitantly I knock on the door, knock knock knock. I start to think 'what if they find it weird because I'm a talking pony'. The door opens and my mind shuts down. Standing at the door is a cool light yellow pegasus with a long pink mane that covers half her face.

" Eeep", and with that she shuts the door in my face before I can say anything. 'Did I do something wrong? I hope I didn't'

"Uhh miss ....can you help me I uhhh have no idea where I am and how I got here"

The door opens slightly, "you're not a burglar are you?", her face pops out.

" Of course not", as I show a genuine smile, "but I need a little help... I seem to have gotten lost, and I have nowhere to stay now that I think about it"

The door opens all the way as I see her face a little less timid than before. "Well then you can stay here, please come inside" , she steps out of the way and motions me inside. As I walk in a small rabbit walks in front of me, I pick him up and pet him a little.

" Aww..I think Angel likes you", I set him down. "Oh where are my manners, my name is Fluttershy." With that said she extends a hoof which I awkwardly shake. "And might I ask what your name is."

'Crap I didn't think of my name before, then again I didn't think the ponies would have strange names. Or that they could TALK for that matter', "uhhh, my name is.....Blackstreak"

"Well Blackstreak, make yourself at home", then my stomach growled. "Are you hungry, if so I can get you something." I nod my head, " okay wait here I'll be right back with a nice salad"

I wait there and admire the scenery, Angel hops up to me looking curious. I pick him up and pet him again before I lightly set him back down. Just then Fluttershy comes back in with just as promised, a salad.

'Hmmm, no meat, well should I have expected more? If I'm going to be here long I'm going to need to adjust to this new diet.'

"Here you go, enjoy", I smile and thank her. I eagerly start eating my 'dinner'. When I am done she shows me the guest room. " I hope you don't mind, but this is where you'll be sleeping tonight", she said timidly.

"Not at all, thank you for your hospitality Fluttershy, can I maybe help you with the dishes maybe?"

"Oh no no no, not at all, you just make yourself comfortable and get some rest okay?"

She smiles and leaves me to my thoughts. I then decide its time to go to bed, I turn off the light and climb under the covers. As I let sleep take its course, I think to myself 'well this is definitely going to be interesting'.
