HOW NOT TO START OFF A DAY

All I saw was black.  Checking my processors, I take notice of my current mode: sleep mode.  Turning it off and activating active mode, I search the immediate area and realize I'm not with my platoon.  Even more alerting, I'm in a forest.  My memory banks don't have me in any forests as of late.  It's early dawn right now, from how the sky read.  It's worrying to think about where I currently am, or how I should deal with this.

Thinking about my situation, I decided to start gathering wood.  It's useful for fire and some basic tools I can build.  I needed to get started before night came around.  After a few hours of salvaging for supplies, I set up a basic campsite.  It wasn't pretty, but it would do for now.  With that done, I decided with the remaining time I had left in the day to look for civilization.  Maybe my platoon will be nearby, or I can find clues on how to get back to them.

I started to walk into the village, but then I noticed something weird. There were no hedgehogs, cats, lizards, or any of my platoon members just multicolored horses (Great just how I wanted to start off a week). Just then I heard about three ponies near some flower shops and they screamed out "MONSTER, everypony run it will eat us all"! as soon as those words came out practically all of them started to run around like headless chickens in a cock fight. I was thinking to myself "Was everyone here scared easily?" as soon I knew none of them were going to help due to the circumstance and I just said “You know what if you don’t want to help me I’ll wait in that forest in my campsite until you all calm the scrap down!”.

After that little moment I was just making my campsite a bit more comfy for my pleasure but I had some problems (long story short never set fire to a pack of timber wolves unless you want to have a forest fire that destroys 2/5 of a forest). All I had was my lucky lighter, five dollars, and my canister of useful form cartridges that may help me even more. With a town scared of me and very low supplies the odds were against me but not by much.

Dusk had finally fell and I was about to settle down for they day. but then I heard a large amount of rustling in the brush they both sounded of regal heritage. “Be careful sister, this creature could possibly be dangerous especially since you decided to NOT bring the gaurds!” “I’m sure that we’ll be fine Luna I'm sure this creature will be more friendly than what Twilight gave us in the letter”. I soon as I heard the two talking I hid in the thicket so they wouldn’t be able to see me, but somehow they could tell I was around the area “Whoever you show yourself we only want to help you.”. Somehow I knew my own gas would betray me someday. I then stepped out and saw the two alicorns that were looking for me one was pure white with a multi-colored mane, and one that was a dark blue with a mane that looked like the starry sky. They were soon surprised to see me an orange and green barracuda on land.

After a few moments of staring at each other I walked up to the two and the blue one said "STATE YOUR PURPOSE CREATURE, WE DEMAND ANSWERS FOR STARTILING OUR LOYAL SUBJECT!!! ". As soon as I fixed my audio sensors because that was the loudest voice I've heard. I then said “CONGRATS The catch of the day is Barracuda, My name is Joseph, but people call me Joe, my model No. is 918264784728375, and I found my self here abandoned from my platoon,  if you’ll please introduce yourselves we can get this nutty hoopla out of the way and I can stop eating plants.”. Both somewhat confused and relived that what they saw wasn’t a blood thirsty monster the white one then said "Allow me to introduce ourselves Joseph, My name is Princess Celestia riser of the sun, and this is my sister Princess Luna the riser of the moon we would be honnored if you come with us." I happily agreed to the offer and went with them to the castle.

DAY ONE REVIEW: Pretty decent.
