I woke up hearing someone scream. “WATCH OUT!!!” Looking behind me I saw a rainbow blur about to hit the tree near me. Jumping off the bench I grabbed onto the rainbow blur and hugged it to my chest letting my back hit the tree instead.

Catching my breath I looked down to see a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail. Her magenta eyes looking up at me a small blush on her cheeks. “You okay?” I asked. She shakes her head to clear it and says. “Y- Yeah th- thanks for umm taking the hit umm what's your name?”

‘Omg she adorable with that blush and stuttering.’ “My name is Starmaster and what's yours?” She jumps up and does a few tight loops in the air. “My name is Rainbow Dash the fastest pegasus in Ponyville.” ‘Annnd she has a huge ass ego of course.’ I look around and realize its getting dark.

“Well it was nice to meet you. Oh do you know anything about a gasping pink pony?”

“You mean Pinkie Pie? Ohh you must be new in town ya she's gonna probably gonna throw you a ‘Welcome to Ponyville’ party later but don’t worry I'll show you where it's at.”

“Thanks Rainbow I appreciate this.”

“Its no problem. Hey! Want to meet the rest of my friends?”

“Umm sure?”

“Sweet let's go!” And she takes off leaving me standing there. Five seconds later she's back and blushing from embarrassment. “Umm hehe forgot you weren't a pegasus.” she said sheepishly.

“It's Ok I'm used to being forgotten.” I said as I walked pass her and I could feel her mood sadden. “Wait what do you mean by that?” She said walking up to my side. “I don't like to talk about it so who are we seeing first?” She seemed worried about me but reluctantly said. “Well we could go visit Twilight first she should be at the library.”

“Library? Why would we go visit her there?”

“Well she lives there and after her we can go visit Rarity and after we go visit her it should be time for your party.”

“Hey Dash I have a question.”

“Ok shoot.”

“Why is everyone I met so far so nice to me I mean I appreciate it but throwing a party, offering free food. And just because i'm new in town… I don't deserve this Rainbow. I just don't and you know what when yeah get to the party tell them that ok? Goodbye Rainbow Dash it's been fun hanging with you.”

With that I ran in a different direction ignoring her shouting out for me to stop but I was already out of sight.

I kept running until my lungs hurt and I found myself on a cliff overlooking a grass plain. I sat there and looked at the moon which was extremely large here but that only made it more beautiful.

I looked over the vast grassy plains when I decided I needed some music to go with this. I pulled out my phone and played a song I practically knew by heart so I singed along.

When I was done I stood and stretched. I let another song play while I checked the time on my phone which read 9:37 so I had a bit of time before fatigue caught up to me.

Looking around I saw a lone tree not to far from where I was so I decided to go hit it just to let some anger out. I walked over to the tree and once I was under it and saw it had no nests or anything else I knew it was ok to let my frustrations out on the poor tree.

Looking at the bottom of my new forehoof I stood on my hind legs and let my other forehoof rest on the tree keeping me upright. Looking at the tree I let it have it. And let it have it I did.

Around 10 minutes later I stopped and saw that a very noticeable dent was now in the tree. “Holy shit I was never able to that before.” I said more to myself. Looking back at my hind legs I thought what I could do with those. And since I have basic knowledge on equines I knew the buck or kick of one could kill someone if hit in the proper place.

Wanting to test my theory I turned around and lined myself up for one hell of a kick. Rearing on my front legs was the first problem I encountered. I had the balance of a elephant on a smooth ball that could barely hold more than one of their giant… whatever they have on the bottom of their legs.

So with that I fell forward and landed flat on my face… muzzle? Still need to work on that. Getting up I didn't hear the giggling from a few bushes away because of my music.

“Well that ended as about as great as I hoped.” I said in a sarcastic tone. Lining myself up again I made my back hoofs go into the air but land on the tree not bucking it though. I let myself stay until I felt more comfortable with the position.

“Okay step one is down now for the actual buck.” I said to myself. Going back to my where my front hoofs were the only thing on the ground I tucked in my legs and let the tree get a facefull of my back legs.

I kept doing that for awhile until I was out of breath. Looking back at the tree it was almost cut in half by now. “Well… Shit… didn't… expect... that.” I said in between a few pants. Looking at the time on my phone it was now 10:14.

Going back to the spot on top of the hill I replayed the events of today in my mind.

The storm…

The truck…

The portal…

Me becoming a pony…

All the other ponies in town…

That was when I lost it and I collapsed on my stomach just crying and letting all my emotions run free with my tears. “Why… Just why… WHAT THE FUCK DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!?” Letting out a few more choked sobs I just yelled into the night screaming my pain and frustration away.

My music cut off when the playlist finished so I was able to hear the sound of soft clops behind me. Spinning around I saw Applejack there with a look of sadness on her face. “Oh hey there Applejack what are you doing all the way out here?” I said relaxing a little when I saw who it was.

“Well when Rainbow came into the library and told us what happened we came out here ta look for ya sugarcube cause we were worried about ya.” When she finished I nodded but stayed silent for a little contemplating what to say next.

“Hmph Well you found me now what are you going to do? The party sounds like it's was over before it even began since it was supposed to be for me.” I chuckled a little at that.

But she did not take my attempt at humour as funny. “That ain't funny partner ya hurt a lot of pony’s feelins by runnin like that.”

“Feeling? Why should I care about feelings? Where have they ever gotten any… pony?” I said bitterness in my tone.

“What's your problem! Ya act like the world is out to get ya.” Applejack clearly mad at what I said.

“Well maybe it is! My life has been a complete hell you know that!? I have been through shit that has given me nightmares without end! None of you know the shit I've been through! None of you would survive a single day in my childhood! So why don't you go back to your happy little fantasy land where everything is just perfect!” I yelled at her through the entire time I was talking and she cowered more and more through the entire thing.

“N-Now j-just on-one min-minute th-there partner our life ain't a-all that perfect we all have our rough days but I don't think your foalhood could be that bad.” She tried to show sympathy for me but was still slightly scared from earlier and my size.

“Not that bad!? NOT THAT BAD!? You have no idea what I've been through you would be scarred for life if you know what I've been through! Besides I don't deserve your hospitality.” I yelled at her again except for the the last part.

“Listen partner we aren't here ta hurt ya just please come back so we can at least talk and you have somewhere ta sleep tonight.” She said with a little hope in her voice.

“*sigh* Fine but when I want to leave I'm leaving right then and there got it?”

“Well if that's the best I can get from ya then yes now come on I hate ta be out here in the dark.”

“Why do you hate the dark? Are you scared? If so you're weak. And it won't be you fearing the dark more like you fear what the darkness hides within it and that means you are afraid of your own imagination. But there are real terrors out there you just have to know what they are.”

“Th-… That actually kinda makes sense thank you Star.” She said while nuzzling my neck which caused me to pull away.

“What the hell was that AJ!? Why did you just rub yourself on my neck?” I said thinking that she just molested the fuck out of my neck.

“I was givin ya a slight nuzzle. Don't ya know what a nuzzle is?”

“I know what a nuzzle is but why?”

“I- I- I-” She stuttered a blush quickly forming along with an idea in my head.

“Wow I never imagined you liked me like that Applejack.” I said as loud as I could without yelling. This caused her blush to spread and become a darker shade of red.

“W- What in tarnation are you t- talkin about!” When she said that I saw the perfect opportunity.

“Oh you know what I'm talking about Applejack but we just met and you already want to do that! I'm flattered but I think we should wait awhile before we do that that.” This made her become even more red and flustered.

“Pfft hahahaha. I sorry AJ but I just couldn't resist making you all flustered like that.”

Now she was mad but still flustered. “I'm gonna get ya back for this one day Star.”

“Ha good luck with th- ooff!” I was stopped when I walked into something made of wood. Looking up I saw that I had walked into a tree about 20 feet in diameter maybe more.

I looked at Applejack and she was holding a hoof in front of her muzzle to stop herself from laughing. When she calmed down she said. “Well this is the place, Golden Oaks Library.”

“Golden Oaks Library is a tree? Wow you guys know how to make hidden puns.” She giggled a little at that.

“I don't know what you are talking about sugarcube.” She said honestly.

“Really? Think long and hard on the name. Golden Oaks Library. Golden Oaks. Oak trees ring a bell?” It was when I said Oak tree that she finally understood and she started chuckling a bit at the name.

“Well what do ya know you're right. Anywho now that we're here let's get inside it's startin ta get chilly out here.”

“Meh I'm fi- Applejack what are you doing?” The mare in question now had her side pressed against me.

“Well you said you were fine so I thought you must have been warm and you are. Why do feel uncomfortable with this?”

“...I'll let this slide once but thats it.” We soon came upon the front entrance and Applejack separated from me to knock on the door which opened up to a very tired purple and green bipedal reptile.

“Oh hey *yaaawwwn* Applejack did you find him?” Said the reptile.

“Yeah I did Spike now head off ta bed you look more tired than Granny Smith.”

‘I swear these puns are gonna be the end of me’

“Thanks *yaaaawwwwn* Applejack.” Spike went back inside with us in tow. Once inside I saw that the place was very clean.

“Hmm nice place. Probably one of the top ten buildings I've been in.”

“This home ain't Applejack’s it's mine.” A voice from a couch said still surprising the fuck out of me and making me jump a little.

“And who are you exactly?” I asked the pony who has yet to reveal herself. The pony had gotten up off the couch a bit sluggishly. Realizing that he was off his medication he has yet to become tired. Looking over at Applejack she wasn't fairing much better now that he realised it.

“My name is *yaaawwwn* Twilight Sparkle and this is my home and thank you for the *yaaawwwn* compliment.” She said her eyes drooping.

“Okay you girls are tired you get to bed we'll talk in the morning. And no buts! Except yours going to bed now get.” I said shooing them to bed.

“But what *yaaaawwwn* about you aren't you tired sugarcube?”

“Sleep now explanation later. Now shoo. Don't make me pick you up and carry you.”

“Okay goodnight sugar-...zzz” Applejack tried to say but fell asleep talking.

“*sigh* Hey purple pony where's the guest- oh come on!” I looked at the purple unicorn and saw she to has fallen asleep face first on the floor. I sighed and picked her and flopped her on my back as well as Applejack. Walking upstairs I saw what I assumed was the purple ponies bed. So I layer her there.

Going down a hall I found a guest bedroom for Applejack so I put her on the bed and slid her under the covers. Going back out I did the same with the purple pony. Going down stairs I picked a book off the many shelfs in there. It was a leather bound book but the front had a gold unicorn head on it.

Laying on the couch which had some room left even with me laying down I opened the book and began to read.

After what felt like hours I begun to feel tired so I closed the book and put it back where I found it getting back on the couch I put in my ear buds and fell asleep listening to music
