I wake to the sky spinning. There is also wind blowing my hair around, mainly upwards. I start to realize, I am falling. Apart from that, I seem to have longer hair than I remember. There is more coming out from my lower back. Progressively I discover that I was a horse. That didn't make sense, I was very human when I fell asleep. How come I am suddenly tumbling through the sky?

I look around, I see some strange biological structures on either side of my body. They were wings! Horses don't have wings! What am I? I look at my body and hair colors. Something's… off… about them. As a human, I had dark brown hair. Here, my new mane and tail are teal with a stripe of blue. My body was tan-ish, now it's gray. Also, I seem to be a mare, due to my obvious lack of… well… I think you get the point. While I fall, I try to scream for help.

“Aaaaah! HELP ME!” I shout. My voice is higher pitched than I'm used to. I don't think anyone heard me. As I'm having the thought, I see a rainbow streak to my right, closing fast. Someone did hear me after all.

The streak slows down to match my speed and I can see that it's another mare, also with wings. She is cyan with a rainbow mane and tail.

“What do you mean, help you?” She asks in a slightly raspy voice, “Just fly.”

“I-I don't know how…” I say, dumbfounded by this horse, not even, this pony talking, let alone myself.

“What? How? Huh?”

“Please, just save me.” I am barely 800 meters above the ground at this point. The mare mutters something under her breath, then grabs hold of me and slows my fall considerably, stops a meter off the ground, drops me, and then lands herself.

“Okay, who are you? You’re a princess, right? Can you do magic? Why can't you fly?” The barrage of questions gets launched so fast that I only hear the second one.

“I'm a princess?” I ask. The cyan mare mutters once more.

“You certainly look like one. You've got wings and a horn, so…”

“I have a horn? Like, a sheep horn? Goat, maybe?”

“No, a unicorn horn. What, is this your first time being a pony or something?”

I have 2 choices, 1; tell her the truth, or 2; lie like hell and try to get her to believe it. I choose the first one.

“Actually, yes. Normally I'm a human. Where am I?” As I say it, the mare looks at me blankly.

“A human? In Equestria…? AND she's a princess? Aaaauuuggghhh! What in Celestia’s name are you thinking, Rainbow?” She trails off for a while, and eventually comes back to my name. “We can't let you trot around, saying you're a human. I think you need a pony name. How about Blue Sky? Ya know, 'cause you were in a blue sky?”

“Sure…” I respond. I start to think about everything the cyan mare said. She keeps saying stuff about ponies. She also said I have a unicorn horn, and asked me if I could do magic. Do unicorns use magic in this world? And she called the world ‘Equestria.' I have so many questions, but I start with the simplest one. “Who, and what, are you?”

She mutters again, then says, “I'm Rainbow Dash, Pegasus flier, member of the Wonderbolts.”

“Okay, Rainbow Dash it is, then.”

“It was, nice, meeting you, Blue Sky. See ya ‘round! Oh, and find Twilight Sparkle. She looks like you. I'll tell her to come here.” With that, she takes off into the sky.

This rainbow mare seems nice enough, better than my most of my siblings. But now, I'm alone. More alone than I ever have been. Usually I at least have my younger sister. But here, I'm lonely.

I wander around for a bit. Somehow, I manage to walk on two extra legs (even though it is very awkward). Wishing I knew how to fly with my new wings, I see a town in the distance. It looks like a middle ages village. But there's a giant crystalline tree that looks like someone's house.

I start shambling over to the town, when something resembling another horse runs over. I see that they have a marking on their hip, like that rainbow mare, but this one has a purple star where Rainbow Dash had a cloud with a rainbow lightning bolt. I wonder what I have. As I look at my flank I see… nothing. I shrug (as well as a horse can) and focus on the pony rushing at me.

“Hello? Are you…” I search for the name, “Twilight Sparkle, by any chance?”

She stares at me and teleports to right in front of me, jumping me a little. “Hi… yes, I am Twilight Sparkle, but please, just call me Twilight. Now…”

She teleports again, but with me this time. We are in a circular room with roots hanging from the ceiling and a round map table below it.

“You do know you can put your wings away, right?”

I think of what to say, “I-I don't know how.” I realized that I said the same thing to the rainbow mare.

“Who are you? Where did you come from?”

I remember the name Rainbow Dash gave me “I-I know just as much as you do. I was a human before being transported to, wherever it is that we are. I met someone named Rainbow Dash, who gave me the name Blue Sky...” Before I know it, I'm telling her everything.

In response, the mare stares at me, mouth agape. She is nodding occasionally to show that she understands. Sometimes she asks for clarification of somethings she doesn't understand.

“Well, Blue Sky, I completely understand the predicament that you are in. Now do you have any questions for me?”

And boy, did I have questions.

Author's Note

I have lots and lots planned for this story. Also, I think I'm gonna make it past-tense, not current, and third-pony, not first. Anyhow, hope you enjoy it!
