"Why did Twilight have to choose me of all ponies to test a potion," I asked nopony in particular, walking down the path toward Twilight's castle.

Even though I've been in this town for quite some time the ponies here still give me funny looks, not funny funny haha, but weird funny. Though some stare less than others, I'm still something strange to them, it's not everyday you see a thestral walking out in the daylight, sure I may look different, but that's not something to fuss about, especially when your in a town where crazy shit happens almost everyday.

I guess I might as well tell you my name, so I can finally cross that off the list, the name's Silver Moon, I'm not your average looking thestral, I mean not every thestral has a white mane and tail and a light gray coat with eyes that are a similar color of gray, plus when your cutie mark is a sparkly moon behind a cloud, you can already see how different I am.

"Well I might as well get this over with, she is my friend after all, but after this I better get something out of this, oh I hope it's mangos," I said, squealing at the thought that Twilight might give me some mangos.

I continued on the path until the castle came into view, its massiveness can be quite terrifying the first time you might see it. I walked up to the door and opened it.

"Hey Twilight, I'm here," I called into the large vastness of emptiness.

Oh have I mentioned that Twilight's castle is harder to maneuver than Celestia's, and I think Celestia's is three times as large from the outside, from the inside it looks bigger than ever.

"Ah, Silver Moon, in glad you could make it," Twilight said, walking down a hall toward me.

"Yeah, but why me, why couldn't it be one of your other friends," I asked.

"Well... I couldn't really tell you, I'm not sure how I thought of you as the test subject, you just popped into my mind when I needed a test subject, but after this I've got something special for you," she said.

"Is it mangos," I asked, feeling ready to burst at any moment with cheer.

"Yes, go ahead get it out of your system," she said, putting some earplugs in her ears.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE," I screeched in happiness, as I was flying circles around Twilight.

I finally landed and was overly excited, I could barely contain myself.

"You done," Twilight asked, pulling out the ear plugs.

"Yeah... I think I'm good," you said, calming down.

"Okay, let's get going to the testing room," she said, heading down the hall, I followed her.

The hall was very large, barely any difference in design and scenery as you both continued down the hall.

I bet most of you at this point are wondering how I became Twilight's friend, well that's a story for a later date, for now this story is this story.

"Well here we are, the test lab," Twilight said, motioning me inside.

The room was what you'd expect in a test room, white walls, ceiling, and flooring, various other rooms for testing other small things, and the weird yellow and black symbols.

"So where am I going to be testing," I asked.

"Right over here," she said, pointing towards a platform.

"Okay," I said, walking over to the platform and standing on it.

"Okay, here's the potion," she said levitating the potion to you, "it should only teleport you about five hoofs, so no worries."

I put the potion to my mouth, and began drinking it, the taste was slightly sour, with a hint of sweet, not very tasty, but that was to be expected when drinking a potion.

"So how do you feel," she asked.

"I can feel it, it's not painful, a bit of a warm feeling at first, and now it kinda feels cold, and it's back to warm, and it keeps alternating," you said, already feeling the potion doing its stuff.

"Okay, that's normal, the potion should activate, if my calculations are correct, in a minute from now," Twilight said, writing some stuff down, and starting a baking timer for one minute.

I stand there for one minute, the potion in affect within my body, the warm and cool feeling is not uncomfortable, it's more relaxing than anything. The timer rings and you can feel something within you rumble.

"Okay, I think your right about it being one minute, I can feel something in me change," I said, beginning to feel light headed.

"Okay, time to document everything that happens," Twilight said, putting on some goggles.

I stood there for a while before I began to glow.

"This is interesting," I said.

"Yes, it is," she said, writing some stuff down.

I began to glow even brighter, every second I was glowing a little more brighter, until I was engulfed in light, and disappeared, as the teleportation had sent me away to some different land.

I laid there unconscious for awhile, oblivious to the surrounding cold air around me, and the blanket of snow beneath me... wait snow?

"Ugh... my head... did I drink too much at the pub again, cause it feels like I have a hangover..." I said trailing off.

The one thing I always loved to do was go to the bar or pub, get a drink, and play poker with my firends, or at least my pub friends, or better known as 'buck buddies', the only outside friends I had were Twilight and her friends, they were at least kind to me.

"And why is it so cold," I said, looking around.

Snow... there was snow and ice, multiple trees covered in ice and snow, but most importantly, I wasn't in Twilight's castle anymore.

"Geez I better get some shelter fast, it's too bucking cold out here," I said, beginning to shiver.

I get up off the ground and shake myself of the snow, and begin to take in my surroundings.

"I am in a heap of trouble, and by the looks of it, so is Twilight," I said looking around.
