This isn't a dream?

"Calm down?! CALM DOWN!?" Twilight yelled, and then I could tell she really was extremely nervous about Princess Celestia coming.

"Um... Twilight... are you okay?" I asked, shying away a bit. I noticed her hairs starting to get out of place, sticking up in all directions. Then, she started to calm down.

"I'm sorry, Kate," She said, backing up a few steps. "I'm just so nervous! Now that Princess Celestia is coming on such short notice, I need to make sure everything goes perfect!" she continued, frowning a bit.

"Err, it's okay Twilight! I could see why you're a bit stressed. So, why don't we get some shut-eye, and then I can help you with anything you need to do for her arrival tomorrow." I replied, yawning.

"Yeah, I guess that would be alright." she replied, with a slight yawn as well.

"Well, your room is right there, I hope you don't mind that it's the guest room." she said pointing her hoof to a door to my left.

"Oh, no. I don't mind at all!" I replied, walking in the direction she was pointing towards. I was honestly surprised there was a guest room in the library.

"Well, Spike, it's time for bed! Come on, let's go." she said motioning for Spike to come into her direction.

"Aw man, bed time? Already?" Spike said hanging his head low, and walking to Twilight. She giggled at his response and started walking up the stairs.

"Goodnight, Kate!" She called out to me.

"Night!" I called back before walking into the guest room. The walls were white, and there was a bed, and a nightstand. A few decorations here and there.

I wasn't sure how I was going to sleep soundly, with this new pony body. I just decided to lie on my side, before a small sharp pain came to my side. "Ow!" I screeched, making sure I was quiet enough to not wake Twilight and Spike. Turns out I laid on my wing as it wasn't fully tucked in. I totally forgot I had those. I sighed and rolled onto my back. I guess I was just going to have to sleep that way and not on my side.

I then, dozed off.

The Next Day...

I woke up, feeling well rested, only to realize I wasn't in my own bed, my own room! Oh, wait. That's right. I'm in Ponyville now. I guess this really wasn't a dream...I got up from my bed and walked out to see everything sparkling clean. Literally, sparkling clean. I looked over to see Twilight, on the ground sleeping.

"Um, Twilight?" I said giving her a nudge. "What are you doing out here?"

"Huh!? What? Oh..." she snorted and looked up at me tiredly.

"You were up all night, weren't you, Twilight?" I said, giving her a disappointing look.

"Yes... I was." she said, hesitating at first.

"I know you're nervous for Princess Celestia to come, but you shouldn't have stayed up all night trying to clean up! Now you'll be more tired than ever!" I replied, concerned.

Twilight looked so, so tired. Bags under her eyes, her hair was out of place, and had tons of tangles. How did that even happen in one night? All of the sudden, we heard music coming from outside. She jumped up and tried fixing her mane as best as she could.

"Is that the Princess?" I asked, my ears perked up, listening to the music.

"Yeah!" she said, running around and trying to fix herself up. "She'll be here any second!" And in that second she told me, I started running around fixing myself up too. I had no idea why, I'm not usually too worried about my looks, but this was the Princess of EQUESTRIA, we were talking about!

We then heard some guards knocking on the library door.

"EEP!" Twilight and I screeched at the same time, before Twilight went to open up the door.

Chapter 5

"Hello, Ms. Twilight Sparkle." The guard greeted before letting Princess Celestia in the library.

She walked into the room, and I saw Twilight bow, so I imitated her.

"Hello, Twilight, my most faithful student," She said looking down at Twilight and giving a warm smile. "And Hello, Kate." she said looking down at me. I stood up from my bow nervously, and looked up to her. "Hello, Princess, it's an honor to meet you." I smiled.

"It's an honor to meet YOU, Kate. I know you're not from Ponyville, you're special."

I blushed and looked over to Twilight who's jaw had dropped at the words of Princess Celestia.

"Do you have any idea on how she got here, Princess?" Twilight asked.

"Yes, I do." Twilight and I looked at each other and gasped.

"In the human world, there is a flower that doesn't grow here, and when it does grow in the human world, it happens only once a year and blooms only at night." she continued.

"The Nightblooming cereus..." I whispered to myself. I had one on my nightstand, well... in my room in the 'human world'.

"That is correct, Kate. We don't have any here, and I was going to teleport the flower here to grow in Equestria, but instead of taking the flower, the teleporter took you... and it's permanent." She explained.

"Permanent?!" I screamed.

"Princess, is there anything at all that we can do?" Twilight asked, hoping to get a yes from the Princess.

"Not that I know of, my faithful student, and if there is anything, until I find it out, Kate is going to have to stay here in Ponyville." she said calmly.

Permanent? I have to stay in Ponyville until there is a spell found to send me back? What if there is no spell to send me back?! What if I don't get to see my family again?! SO Many questions were running through my mind, and I wanted to ask them all, and more, until Princess Celestia interrupted my train of thought.

"So sorry I have to cut this short, something has come up." She said sitting up and walking towards the door.

"Goodbye Twilight and, Kate." she waved and teleported into thin air before we could even wave back.

"Twilight... I'm gonna need to learn to use these, especially if I'm going to be here a while." I said spreading my wings.

"Oh, yeah! You should go ask Rainbow Dash or Fluttershy. They might be out around the town!" she said pointing towards the door.

"Thanks, Twilight! Wish me luck, and hope I don't fall on my face too much." I waved going through the door and trotting towards town.

I finally reached the town, and was going to try and find Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash, but then all of a sudden my stomach starting rumbling violently.

"Oh, yeah... I haven't really eaten much since I got here..." I muttered to myself, and decided to head over to an apple stand where Applejack was selling apples!

"Hey, Applejack!" I said trotting towards her stand.

"Howdy, Kate!" she greeted and smiled.

"So, you're selling apples, I see." I smiled and looked over at them, pretty much drooling everywhere. The apples were perfectly ripe and red, and looked incredibly juicy.

"Sure am! Would you like one?" she asked, noticing that I was staring at them like I hadn't eaten in weeks.

"I sure would love one!" I said happily, while she handed me an apple.

"How much is one apple?" I asked, staring at the delectable fruit in my hooves.

"Oh, on the house, Sugarcube!" she said winking.

"Thank you so much Applejack, that's really nice of you!" I said before stuffing the apple whole in my mouth.

"Whoa there, you sure are hungry." she grinned.

"I really am, but that'll hold me over for a while! Thanks again!" I said before walking away, back to finding Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

I trotted through the town for a little while more, before seeing Fluttershy walking to a carrot stand.

"Hey Fluttershy!" I said walking to her side.

"Oh, hello Kate!" she said quietly, even though you could tell she was in a happy mood today. "I was just buying some carrots for Angel." she said happily, while paying for the few carrots she had picked out.

"Who's Angel?" I asked curiously.

"Oh, Angel is my pet bunny! He's very picky and won't eat the cucumber or salad I put out for him, so I came out here to get carrots." she said while putting the carrots into her saddlebag.

"Oh, I see." I said. Maybe she was too busy trying to take care of Angel at the moment. I should just ask Rainbow Dash then.

"Was there something you wanted to tell me, Kate?" she said smiling.

"Oh, no it's nothing really. Good luck getting Angel to eat those carrots!" I said changing the subject.

"Oh, well okay then! Goodbye!" she said while walking away.

I needed to find Rainbow Dash so she could teach me to fly, but where was she? Then, all of a sudden I heard a yell.

"RAINBOW DASH! WAIT, WANNA GO PRANKING AGAIN? OR WE COULD PLAN A PARTY! OOH, OOH! WE COULD GO AND EAT CUPCAKES!"

That definitely sounded like Pinkie Pie.

I followed in the direction I heard her yelling.
