Who am I? What is a "pony"?

Chapter one:

“BUUUUUuuuuu…” I scream rising up, or at least I try. With four legs it’s kinda hard. Wait four? Why does that seem wrong? I look around everything is a blur. A strange light yellow blow crosses my field of vision for a moment. Then enters a Cyan one.

Cyan blob is over me a strange protrusion glowing. I can’t move and I feel funny. It’s kinda like I’m being smothered everywhere but my face. I hate it and begin trying to fight it with all my might. I realize I somehow can move my… hoof? That seems wrong too! Maybe I'm crazy.

“Miss, what species am I?” I ask Cyan blob. The blob freezes. Wait what is a "species"?

“You’re a pony silly head!” a pink blur gays up my field of view blocking what I can see. her darker blob part "hair"? seems to defy gravity. What is Gravity? Why is she attacking me??

“AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!” She freezes stunned for a second into inaction. I realize I was scared. I test my limbs. They work! Gladly I attempt to slide off the bed onto my feet.

“HEY! Pinky back off. You are scaring her!” I slip while jumping off the bed, and I hit my head. It hurts insanely. I cry and cower in place.

Cyan blob moved away and let the "nurse?" blob return. I realize that they all look sooo big. The yellow blob looms over me. I’m lifted and placed lightly on the bed. I feel a sharp pinch then fall asleep.

I wake up everything is fuzzy. It’s so warm I love it. I remember the day before. My insanity. I glance at a hoof, my hoof. This insanity is weird. Even when my imagination took over and adrenaline coursed through me, I never lost sight of reality. Even the worst dub and wub fed battle that plagued my mind was obviously fake. It broke my heart to never live my fantasy, to never be appreciated or loved. I cried myself to sleep sometime. When I got up my sketchbook and spirals always had hateful little messages to myself. BUCK I’m doing it again. I feel around for my phone

“… it… it’s… GONE!” I try to flip out of the bed my head smacking the bed frame with my awkward ascent. I start crying again: strange even when I was small I didn't cry in pain this often. A different blob enters and starts trying to comfort me. When it is closer I can make out a nurse hat. I remember my phone is gone and start sobbing; man I’m a lame cry baby. The nurse turns and shoos something at the door.

I’m trapped in a depressive spiral, probably insane, and my phone is gone, there is but ONE option! I MUST ACQUIRE SOME DUBS! I need my music and muse. I think furiously and try to remember what pony played dubstep and house. My pain ladled mind fails me and I sniff trying not to cry again. I think about my casual dalliance into philosophy. If I wasn't insane then I was right! There is a dimension for everything that could, would, couldn't, and wouldn't be! Since reality is based on perception that means my insanity would actually take me here. Then just as suddenly the pain stops.  I realize I have no idea what the words in my head mean. I'm using words in my head that make no sense!

I turn to the nurse, she is now trying to bandage over my new head wound. I try to talk again. I pause trying to introduce myself. My memories are broken! I stutter a second then ask the new "nurse" blob.

“Miss can you tell me what my name is.” I ask her; after all I could have said it in my sleep. She looks down at me a frozen smile on her face. She obviously doesn't and that scares me. My attempts to stay strong failed and I begin sobbing again.

“Dearie, please calm down the doctor will be able to help you!” I stop crying for her sake. She sees something at the edge of her vision. She strokes my… mane and then heads out again. I slip head first under the blanket, how could I forget my name? Why doesn't she know what my name is? No one has visited me yet, I must not have any friends! Wait I’m talking to myself, do I do that often?

The door clicks open and I hear hoof steps. There are a lot of them and very light. Whats a hoofstep?

“Nurse Aspirin, why is she crying?” Wait SHE? I know that can’t be right; NO I Feel it can’t be right. I must investigate. I crawl out of the blanket my cheeks feel cold as the air outside the blanket stings their soaked fur. I realize that this whole time I’ve barely been able to see. I could barely tell that the pink blur that attacked me was a pony. I need… glasses? For some reason that word messes with me, I don’t like it. There is an orange yellow and whitish blue blob next to the green blob nurse.

“Miss is it normal to not be able to see?” How could I tell she was a nurse to begin with? The light green nurse blob pony comes and looks me in the eye very closely. She clucks and I feel a tingling in my eyes. Suddenly I could see them clearly. the orange one had wings and a purple mane. The white one, a horn and  and the other had a nice pink bow. The nurse blob was a bigger version of these... ponies? She had a horn too.

“Hello?” I said sounding hoarse. They all approach me slowly. I back up; these ponies are the same size as me, but they outnumber me three to one. I don’t like those odds.

“What’s your special talent?” the white one asks. Her big eyes stop me.

“I’m not special enough to have one.” I reply, why on Earth do I think that? I must really suck if I even I think I’m worthless. All four of the strange ponies gasp and the nurse approaches again. I see something on her butt it’s a small red and white pill.

“ Little Miss, stop right there! Who told you that?” She seems angry at me now, but I can’t be a miss.

“I’m not a FILLY!” I yell trying to get on all fours and just slip. Luckily it’s not head first and the blanket catches me.

I feel a sudden intense pain, my entire body shakes and shivers and I hear the sound of six rapidly running hoofs moving away. I look down and I’m.. I'M?? BOTH??? WTB?? Suddenly I feel a revulsion I can’t comprehend or describe, I hate being this. Why can’t I be happy in my own body? I feel the painful shifting again and collapse.

I awake again, the cyan blob is now a star butt pony with a horn. There is a bright blue and rainbow pony as well, but she has wings. I freeze. I’m surrounded by big strange ponies. At least those other ones were my size! now they outnumber me and outsize me. These ones are looking at me funny. They must be mad at me! I hate this!

“Leave me alone!” I scream trying to get smaller. The purple one backs off a bit but the blue one comes closer. She has wings like one of the small ones earlier had.

“Not cool! We are just here to help.” Rainbow Head seems smaller then Star Butt, but she scares me more for some reason. I test my limbs. Pain courses through my body and I freeze in place. I have to get out of here! A orange one appears out of nowhere and blocks the door. I glance at the window. The one with wings is on the opposite side of the bed from it. I just need to fly then I can escape.

Pain courses through me again, but I know I can fly now. I ignore the pain and jump off all four legs. Before the blue one can react I’m through the window. Glass is cutting me on all sides and I almost fall before to my death before my wings open up. I seem to fly for a second, it’s scary, but I like it. I want to land now though. I see a nearby cart. It’s too far for me to land on. If only it was closer!

Again the Pain courses through me, but I know I can move it! I focus with all my being, my wings almost freeze up. Suddenly the cart is below me and I crash into it. It hurts a lot.

I wake up in that same room again, my attempts to escape seem to have failed. Now I'm surrounded by tall ponies on all sides. They tower over me like a prison wall trapping me. It’s soo scary!

I start to sob, why won’t they leave me alone? The big ponies look to each other. I start hearing a little melody. It’s coming from a strange piece of wood being held by a grey pony with no wings or horns. I scream at this, for some reason It doesn’t sound right.

“Stop it! I want my dubs! Leave me alone! AAAAAHHH!” I begin spouting everything hoping to drive them away with sound. A big whit one with a horn and strange eyes runs out. The music stops coming and I wonder, what’s music??

Suddenly I hear a beat. Its sooo RIGHT! I stop screaming and crying, that’s what they want yes? If they think this gets them what they want they will do it more! I see the white pony with horn and strange eyes come back in. She has a small cart thingy. The sounds come from there!

I run behind her. She will protect me with the sound I know it! I'm safe now....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Twilight watched astonished as the small alicorn filly started screaming. Octavia’s playing seemed to freak it out and it was shouting strange things. Vinyl eyes went all googly, and the mare ran out of the room. The sound of Vinyl’s music suddenly played throughout the town and the filly froze.

She saw Vinyl reenter the room, “mobile dubs machine” as Vinyl called it was being pushed ahead of her. The filly shot across the room and cowered behind the speakers, trying to hide from Twilight and her friends. Twilight had never seen anything so small and innocent afraid of her.

“Well ah’ll be. That there little filly ack’tually LIKES that techno weird sound stuff.” The DJ glanced at Applejack  a frown on her face.

“Well SOMEPONY has good taste.” Was all Vinyl said as she hugged the poor strange filly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The big white pony with weird eyes and a horn hugged me close. I loved this feeling. Maybe she knew what I was called.

“Umm miss big white pony with weird eyes, what is my name?” Several of the scary big ponies chuckled but the nice one in front of me just put on a frozen smile. I hate that smile. Just like the nurse she didn’t know! Maybe she knew the answer to my next question though.

“Why do all the big mean ponies keep bothering me? It’s not like I’m important.” The frozen smile became a frown, I hated the frozen smiles, and now I hated the frowns. She seemed bothered I would say that. A strange glow picked me up and I was dragged to the bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Princess Luna watched the strange little filly shift colors as it tried to fight the spell that held her. Luna stepped up to it and with a small spell it was asleep. After it was set on the bed,It seemed to decide what color to be. Luna watched as the strange blur of change settled on white with a red mane. Luna turned to the Music pony.

“Miss..?” she inquired

“It’s Vinyl Scratch your highness. I'm the local disc-jockey” The white unicorn bowed.

“Would you mind staying here with your, music?” The Unicorn looked offended at the pause in her question but turned to the little filly on the bed.

“I don’t mind helping a fellow dub lover,” Was all she said before sitting beside the bed. Luna motioned to Twilight and they stepped out of the room. Before Twilight could speak Luna twirled on her.

“ Twilight, why does it say the description on her admission record that it is a “Female earthpony, gray mane and coat”? Luna considered her next words carefully. " When it is now a Alicorn with white coat, red mane, and a... Hermaphrodite?

“ That’s what it was when it came in you highness.” How was this possible?

“ Your  saying she is a changeling!? We must get the guard at once!” Twilight flinched away from Princess Luna.

“No no no your highness! It’s different! She is a pony, but she seems to adapt somehow.” Twilight paused a second to think “When I asked the nurse why she had called me back she said that she had called it a filly, it had denied it then grew its... new appendage.” This is very impossible!

“ Did you see it become a Alicorn then?” Maybe Twilight had gotten all this info second hand.

“When it woke up after the gender... shift I was there with Rainbow Dash. It just seemed to sprout wings and it flew out of the window!” Twilight made the, no that didn't sound crazy face. She did sound crazy. “When she was about to crash she grew a horn and moved a cart to catch her.” Luna refused to believe her,and Twilight seemed to notice this. " Your highness, maybe we should call Celestia for a second opinion?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up again; this time thankfully my head didn't hurt. The Nice white big pony with strange eyes and a horn didn't have strange eyes anymore. The good sound had stopped. I sniffed the strange nice pony. She smelled nice! She was asleep though… I got out of the bed and lay down on the floor next to her.

Suddenly there was a click and a new big pony entered. This one had a sun on her butt! She also had horns and wings and was the biggest one yet! She must be here to wake up the nice one, a big pony like that wouldn’t be here for me.

I stood up bravely in front of her trying to stop her from waking the nice big pony! Nice big pony deserved her sleep. She only shook her head at me and as Star butt stepped out from behind a strange glow moved me.

The big one cleared her… throat? What is that? “Excuse me Miss Scratch, is this the filly I have heard so much about.” Was Miss Scratch her name? I knew her name now! Miss Scratch jumped to her hoofs and then bowed…. Bowed? I was confused!

“ Yes your highness! I’m sorry I didn't mean to fall asleep on the job!” The big sun butt scared her!

“ Leave miss nice big pony miss scratch alone, you bigger big meanie!” I got between them, star butt laughed at me! No one laughs at me… oh wait they do. Why do people laugh at me?

“If you insist ... Miss…?” Dangit this one didn't know my name either! But I couldn't let her know I didn't.

“You tell me your first!” I shouted defiantly. She looked at me strangely.

“My name is Celestia. And yours is?” dang I thought it would take her longer! Why couldn’t I figure out my name?

“Umm… uhh…” I looked at my hoof beaten. “I don’t know.” She seemed sad, she must care!

“What do you know my dear?” Whats up with all this “dear” stuff I wasn’t a dear!

“I know I don’t have antlers! so I can't be a dear... I think ...  Miss Scratch’s big sound machine is awesome!... and umm.. I don’t have my phone with me!” Star butt’s... eyebrow? rose like the sun on Sun Butt's.. butt.

“What is this phone you speak of?” She didn't know what a phone was??? Wait did know what a phone was??

“It’s great and I had one and... there were lots of books on it and… it makes music like nice big pony miss Scratch’s machine!” Star butt glanced at Miss Scratch. “Umm miss Scratch would you play some more music? I really like it!” I shook my tail in the air for some reason, I also made my eyes go all big for some reason. Whatever that instinctive action meant to the ponies, it worked and she turned the sound back on!

Miss Scratch, miss star butt and Miss sun butt/ Celestia left the room. I curled up in front of the big sound machine letting the beat carry me away.
