“See you later!” I call to my friend as i head to the front door of my house. I spent the whole day with her, working on a school project. i had my laptop with me and my laptop charger. i carried them with a beige bag which i usually used for packing clothes.

As my friends car drove away, i began to get lightheaded. I stumbled a bit, and right as the car drove out of sight, i dropped to my knees. I felt as if the ground were spinning and i was about to be sick as a white light appeared in front of me, overcoming my sight.

“What’s going on?” I thought, wishing the pain in my stomach would die away. I began to vomit, the ground fading into nothingness, and the light taking the place of the faded ground.

Everything goes dark.

My brain slowly turns back on, and i begin to feel warm sunlight shining on my skin, slightly relieving the headache I some how managed to get. I let my eyes flutter open, taking in the surrounding area. i sit up, grunting with effort, my stiff muscles screaming for relief. I stretch heavily and stand up, my head pounding.

“How in the world did i get here?!?” I thought, confusion settling in my brain.

“I read in a book that you’re suppose to wait where you are instead of move around. that way someone can find you.” I say to myself.

“But I am kind of hungry...” I think, my stomach gurgling quietly. I look around to see if there might be a decent area for looking for food, and see that behind me is an apple orchard.

“Just one...” I think to myself. “They won’t mind. they have a whole field of them”.

I reach the apple orchard, scanning over the trees to see which one has the best apples. I pick a tree with bright red apples, their skin shining in the sun. I jump as high as i can to reach the apples, and fall down emptyhanded.

“Damn.” I curse. “I’m too short”. I move on to another branch, trying my luck with this one, but to no avail. “Maybe i’ll just go to the barn first then. I’m sure they’ll be kind enough to spare a few already picked apples”.

I make my way to the barn, weaving in between rows of apple trees. As i reach the barn, i realize how small it is, the doors only being tall enough for a child to go through without bumping their head. I knock anyway, hoping i’m lucky enough to get an answer. After a few moments, I begin to hear muffled footsteps heading towards the door. As the door opens, my eyes go wide.

There’s a small yellow pony with red hair and pink bow answering the door.

My headache intenses, my brain trying to work out the confusion. A small pony, answered the door, looking up at me like a real human being, confusion settling in her stare as well.

“Sis...?” she calls cautiously, fear starting to show in her expression. the yellow pony steps back a few feet as an orange pony trots up to the door.

“Holy moly...” She mutters a few seconds before she slams the door.

“What in tarnation IS that thing?!?!” She says rhetorically.

“Uh... you can... talk?” I say through the door.

“Well of course we can, but how about you? What in Equestria are you?!” She counters, fear showing in her expression as well.

“I’m not here to hurt anyone, i’m just... lost.” I say carefully, making sure now to say anything that would frighten them. Opening the door cautiously, the orange pony looks at me for a minute, carefully examining me.

“What’s yer name?” she asks, one hoof on the door incase.

“I’m Kelly. And you?”

“Applejack. And this is my sister Applebloom. now that we got that out of the way, ah’ should probably take you over to Fluttershy’s cottage to see if she can figure out what kinda’ animal you are.

“I’m not an animal, I’m a Human.’ i explain.

“A Hoo-man?” she asked, trying out the word.

“Yeah, I come from Earth. where is this anyway?” I ask, awaiting a response.

“We’re in Equestria, rules by Princess Celestia and her little sister Princess Luna.

“I’ve never heard of any of those things...” I say matter-of-factly.

“Then you got a lot to learn.” she adds. “We should probably get you over ta’ Fluttershy’s cottage now.” she says, turning to Applebloom.

“Applebloom, go to Twilight’s and tell her to come to Fluttershy’s cottage. An’ tell ‘er it’s an Emergency. Also, could you get me a saddlebag?”

“Kay’, Sis.” she says, walking up the stairs and to Applejack’s room to get what she requested.

Applebloom comes back with the saddlebag, slipping it onto Applejack’s back, making her back bend slightly under the weight.

“Alrighty, let’s get going.” she says enthusiastically before beginning to trot down the path leading to a gate. I follow swiftly behind, making sure to keep up with her fast pace.

We soon arrive at a small cottage covered in different houses for birds and other animals to stay in. We reach the door, Applejack reaching out with her hoof to knock on it. As she does so, we hear a few animals make scattering noises, as if we'd startled them. A few seconds after, we hear hoofsteps coming towards the door. The door opens, revealing a light yellow pony with silky pink hair. She has a tender look to her face, and a weak stance to her. She looks up at me with confused eyes, which quickly become the look of fear. She squeaks softly and closes the door, hoofsteps trotting away from us.

"Sugarcube! It's me, Applejack! please come back, she's not here to hurt you!" Applejack yelled through the door.

No answer.

"Gosh Darnit, we'll just wait for Twilight then, i guess." Applejack muttered.
