Life through the portal:my experience in equestria
I wake up in a daze.
The sky in ponyville is a beautiful ombré sunset.
I couldn’t believe my eyes!
I was finally here!
A cyan pony walks along the path to the golden oak library.
Her rainbow mane glistens in the sunshine, and she smiles just before bumping into me,then she says:
“ hey there, daring do book club leader Rainbow Dash,the one and only!”
Rainbow Dash, I can’t believe that I’m finally meeting up with you!!!

Chapter 3(read ch 2 continued first
As soon as the doors open,I can go inside?
Rainbow Dash smiles ,and says
“Well duh,we need all the awesome members we can get!”
I smile at her as a pink pony heads towards me,bouncing with joy,her face stuffed with red velvet cupcakes she named the DAring delight!
“Whooo wants cupcakes!!”
Pinkie pie?!
“Well of course silly!”
Pinkie pie hands out a daring delight with chocolate frosting, and I eat it with a smile.
Yumm,how did you make this cupcake so delicious?
“Bakers secret,silly!”
I shrug,knowingly knowing pinkie is just being the best,most silly girl as always.

My Little Pony,
My Little Pony,
I used to wonder what friendship could be,I sing jokingly, before a lavender pony enters the room,her mane neat and tidy,with books in her hoofs.
I think to myself and smile,
My inner monologue saying that
I feel calmer and more happy today!
I feel like I’m relaxed.
I feel like the possibilities of today are hopeful and endless!
Yeah, personal growth is great! I must Try to be mindful of others though, and think positively.
Twilight looks at me and smiles,asking,
“Hello there,may I help you?”
I nod,pointing to the sign up sheet.
“Oh,you want to sign up for the book club?”
“Daring sure is undeniably awesome!”

Pinkie Pie yells into a megaphone and says,
“ hey everypony,let’s welcome our new member,everypony say Hiiii There to Sandra!”
*silence*
“Come on everypony,Say hiii!”
“Hiiii there Sandra”, everypony says with a smile!
I couldn’t believe it! Everyone in ponyville was finally here, acknowledging me as a citizen of equestria!
I finally feel like I belong!
But just as I begin to celebrate,I realized my family and boyfriend were probably very worried.
I had a choice to make:
Be friends with these awesome ponies,or go home to my friends and family and boyfriend who are worried about me.
I made a choice to stay for one more week,then go home .
What could possibly go wrong?

Now the week I spent went quite quickly,but it was very memorable.
First, I spent a day at Sweet Apple Acres helping applejack and eating apples and drinking cider under the sunset,as my worry faded away.
She was very understanding,but also honest,which I enjoyed very much. As I left,she gave me a keychain with her face on it.
Then, I went to the golden oak tree library for the second day.
I’m sorry,I write in a text to mom.
She was confused and wrote back saying that I had just texted her a minute ago.
Then it hit me.
Each day was one minute back home.
I agreed to stay the rest of the week.
Twilight looks worried and gives me a book to read.
I open it and it’s the friendship journal.
“but she still lives in the library?” I think to myself.
That is when I realized that she didn’t finish the spell. Here in this world,she fixed things for her friends,but her memories were still alternate.
I knew she needed extra help,so I told her to visit her friends and have a picnic together.
We went to the park near the outskirts of ponyville.
She looks calmer.
Pinkie pie brought cupcakes,rainbow dash brings protein shakes,and we have a nice chat.
She asks me if my parents are near.
I say yes.
She then looks at me and gives me a hug.
She says,you will always be a good person,and always a part of the mane ponies,at least in our hearts. Now go home,back to your world.
You are special and kind, and loving.
She smiles,and her memories are restored.
She says:
“There are very few that understand how valuable and essential it is to be able to be friendly like you.”
I smile, and tell her that she is always going to be in my Heart as well,we dance in the moonlight with everypony to a dubstep Mlp theme,which went like this:
My Little Pony
My Little Pony
I used to wonder what friendship could be
My Little Pony
My Little Pony
Until you all shared its magic with me!
What will today's adventure be?
Big adventure!
My Little Pony
My Little Pony
Will there be exciting sights to see?
Tons of fun!
Where will you wander?
Hither and yonder
faithful and strong,
Letting your heart be your guide!
A beautiful heart,
My Little Pony
My Little Pony
I'll be there right by your side
Sharing kindness!
I'll be there right by your side
It’s an easy feat
And magic makes it all complete!
My Little Pony,
Do you know your all my very best friends!
Then we bob for apples,sleepover,and eat s’mores.
I love these s’mores! They taste like autumn!
Pinkie pie says,really? They taste like winter to me!
We all chuckle,and walk towards the friendship express.
Pinkie pie gives me rock candy.
We all have a group hug,and laugh.
I’m with all of you in spirit,I say.
I leave in the train to reality.
I wake up feeling refreshed,and smile.
I go downstairs and say hi to my family and give them hugs. We drink cider,and the question what are you thankful for,is answered by
“Family and friendship!”
“Because it’s magical,exciting,and makes me feel happy and loved.”
“Friendship is timeless joy,trends may go,but our love and happiness is always shared,even if we have hard times,we get through them together!”
We say cheers and drink our cider.
I realized something valueable during my 3 days.
While I value life in ponyville,real life connections are just as magical and exciting.
I said my farewells,and wake up from my vivid dream.
I smile and know that friendship is truly magical,even in real life.
I binge watch mlp, but also maintain my real life connection with my family and friendships, and my boyfriend.
I still envy the life in ponyville,but I enjoy my different stories every day in real life.
The only difference is that the book is still open,and my story is still being written.
Enjoy your day and life,and know how you are always important and loving, and caring is friendship and that friendship is magical,always.
I am still a member of the daring do book club by the way,and I sneak there in my dreams at night.
We are all good readers and writers,and that magical light is always within us.
Farewell,everypony,and remember how much you matter.

Hi,my name is Sandra . I’m nobody special. Just a typical pegasister with dreams of being the first to enter ponyville through a television. It’s 10:00 am,I’m watching tv, and rainbow dash is about to perform her sonic rainboom. This is an awesome aerial feat that was once deemed impossible,a mare’s tale. She’s on phase one.She’s building up speed , wings are flapping , she’s nearly there, and OH. My. Goodness. What is happening? The tv is displaying a message stating I’m the only viewer on the channel. The screen is showing a generic image of the mane 6. Suddenly, Lasers blast from the tv, and everything is pitch black.

My overall lessons from ponyville are stated as follows:
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Dear princesses of equestria,
I had a flashback today. I remember when I was little and used to mix colors of paint together.
I already knew that red and yellow make orange, that blue and yellow make green. I also used to hike and go to the park and pick up rocks and leaves and pinecones.
We truly take nature for granted because of marketing and ads and promoting.
We sometimes forget how amazing we have it, and how much there is to be grateful for.
We take many people and things for granted.
It’s time for me to attempt to improve and grow my mindset. Although I am very nervous,
I can overcome my challenges and negativity ,and remember that friendship is magic and we are all loved and valuable.
We are all magical and amazing!
