I... have a migraine. I have a migraine, and feel like lead......

Those were the first thoughts I had when I awoke - those that I could recall, anyway - with more (and more painful) ones to come over the next half-hour. I, at that moment, had no clue as to why I felt so. As my other sense's came to me, more questions began flooding my mind, the biggest being of where I was. And so I laid there, wherever I was, while I straightened my mind out.

Alright, I thought a while after the migraine had subsided. I'm laying in some grass somewhere. This I could tell by my hearing and sight, the latter of which I had just been able to keep open, the stinging pain I had from them finally residing. And I am clothed, but in what? At this last thought, I moved myself to see, but got more then the answer I seek't. Well to answer what I wore first; I had a tan flat top cap on my head, then there was a long sleeved navy blue dress shirt, that of which I had a leather vest that I made over it(with it's many pockets all filled with something), and to cover it all, was an olive drab surplus ww2 trench coat, and around my neck I had a leather book bag(also something I made).

But of course that wasn't as mind boggling, as the gray hoof I now had in my face, or the forest green with light gray spotted fur to the now >foreleg< it was connected to. "All right, I now have hooves, what else is new."

So I stared at my now right hoof at first for awhile, then moved over to my left; and as I was on my back, I looked down to my rear legs that where slightly spread. "Oh, so that's why there's a draft down there."

I said this as I spy'ed my necked lower half, which I must mention, there is no magic keeping things covered down there. I'll, just have to play calm and carry on; I'll have ta work on being calm, tho. I had to shake my head at that. Right, I need to get righted, then see about walking. And so I began the task of getting to my belly first, which was simply bringing my right legs in, then swinging my left and using the momentum from that to be as I needed to . Then to stand, with my legs now under me and positioned, I (gently) put force in to them till I was at my full height. The balance was a bit tricky, what with now 4 legs, but "much" easier to get a hold of while standing then most would think.

Now you may be wondering why I'm acting the way I am, and not freaking out like a chicken with it's head cut off, well here's my answer. It's cliche, I'v read enough fanfic's about this happening before, so I mostly know what was going to happen next. Second, I think I know (or at lest half of) what I was, which is an earth pony, which I believe I was also a sub race off of that that I called a Grimm, but I didn't know for sure on the latter bit. And third, what use would it be to me, when calmness and logic would be of best use at the moment? So I did what I did.

Well anyways, now that I was standing at my full height, I took the time to observe my surroundings. I was in some tall brown grass that came up to just before my lower shoulder, behind and to my right was a forest (that with there being no leaves, told me it must be fall or early winter) I had no name for as of yet, and in front of me was a path that lead to who know were; and a large mountain ranged beyond that. Further observance around me and lifting the left side of my coat up with a hoof revealed, I had a neon green on beige cutey mark of the Trinity symbol (as I know I would), and a dark brown with burgundy over toned mane an tail. And besides that, I could see on a "vary tall" mountain to the right of me, with something on it that gave me a "vary" good clue as to "where" I now was.

"Well, that's Canterlot, so it look's like I have much before me." I said as a frown came to my breaded mussel, not that I was upset over ending up in Equestria; just that.... well... my family... What ever did this to me better take care of them, that's all I had to say.

Shaking my head to dismiss said thoughts, I brought my self back to the here and now, knowing that my own survival at that time was a better thing to think about. After a moment, I decided there was only one thing I could do at this time, and that is to walk. And so with that I took my first step (which was easy with 4 legs for balance) , then my next and so forth as I moved (slowly at first) to stand on the path I was near, and I turned to my left as I kept walking; that soon became a steady trot. And I was on my way towards Sunbutt's castle.

What ever town this leads me to, I do hope I'll be able to get lodging and or food, heck do I even have any bits on me? That last thought made me stop, I hadn't looked in my vest pockets yet, so I took a moment just to see how much money I may of had on me; if any. Well, it didn't take much to find a coin purse, it was black with a metal clam shell opening. And so I opened it, doing my best not to lose what ever is in it, I use my right hoof to pour some out in to my left hoof and count; I'v got fifty bits.

Now hold on.... I think to myself, looking at the coin purse then the coin's in my hooves. How am I holding this stuff? Now that was a good question, many had asked and many had there own idea's in the fandom, but what about in this world? So I examined them after putting the bit's away, the inside of my leg from the hoof to the top of the fetlock was clear of fur, and had ridge's like a finger; and the fetlock it self was just as flexible as an index finger. Well I saw that it could easily hold and move large objects, how was I able to hold my coin pouch? So, I went and tried to pick up a pebble, and I did. Gecko grip!! Now that would explain it, or at lest to me.

And so, with that answer found and the pebble touched away, I restarted my journey. I believe it was 30 minutes latter, as I had checked my pocket watch, that I heard then saw a train; the Pony Express in all it's wonder'es colors. I couldn't help but grin as I watch'd it puff on and away behind me, as it came from the way I'm heading, hopefully from a town not far from where I was now. And so, I trotted on, and on; till I came to the top of a hill over looking a valley.

"Well, there she be, Ponyville." I't looked a lot like that in the show, besides of coarse aaah? Well, nothing, it looked completely the same to me as it did in the show. Tho things looked a lot more real from the show, like something you'd see done by one Baron Engel on DA, which made a lot of sense when ya thought about it (that is if you think of Equess as a real place, don't care if ya don't).

I stood there for some time, thinking about if this was real or not, it could still be a dream that I'm having; more realistic then my last one fer sure. It was around this time, that I was suddenly struck by a gust of fresh chilly wind, that caused me to look up at the slightly cloudy sky. A slightly cloudy sky that was rapidly being filled with dark storm clouds that were being herded by Pegasus ponies, and would be getting me all wet here shortly if I didn't get to town in time.

"Oh sissally, I'd better get going!" And so I did, speeding up to a light gallop as I headed down the hill for my destination, hoping to find some shelter when I got there. But first, I thought as I turned off the path and to some dense bushes near the forest.I need to relieve myself. So I answered natures call, and would soon be on my way again, with so many question's on my mind to answer; and with these five at the top.

Where shall I go? What shall I do? When shall I do this and/or that? Who shall I meet? And why doe's this all happen to me?

And my finale thought to all that.

I shall let the force, and what friends I my make, show me the way.
