Once Upon A Normal Day

Beep Beep Beep Beep

Groaning, I reached over the side of my bed, feeling around for my alarm. No where to be found. Reaching out farther and farther, eyes still closed, there wasn't much bed left underneath me anymore.

"OH FUCK."

I hit the floor with a thud.

  "I guess this means I need to wake up," I said, my voice slurred like a drunk person's. I got onto my feet and stumbled to the mirror in my bathroom. My brown hair a mess, my hazel eyes hardly open, still fast asleep in my mind. I awkwardly stomped down the stairs to be greeted by my mother.

"Well good morning sunshine!" she chimed.

"It's too early to live," I replied jokingly. I glanced to my left and smiled to see my brand new Rainbow Dash plushie I had made at Build-A-Bear just a few days ago. Considering whether to bring her to school with me or not, i walked into the kitchen to take my ADHD medication. Although I usually didn't. It makes me drowsy. But before I could pop it into my mouth, the most delicious smell drifted into my nose.

  It seemed to have carried me to the microwave, freshly cooked bacon inside. "Oh boy!" I thought to myself. Looking around to make sure no one saw, I snatched a piece in the blink of an eye. Looking as if I had swallowed it whole, i ran to my backpacks. Yes, backpacks. One for A-day and the other for B-day. High school was hard. Some would say that school's a bitch, my reply: Yea, well so is life, but i love mine the way it is.

  Speeding out of the house, I had forgotten both my Rainbow Dash and my medication...... oops.

********

As the day went on, time itself seemed to move at half its normal rate. Finally I was sitting in last period. Biology. Although it was the most boring class of them all, I made things fun. Today was different though, I was strangely distracted by the massive posters on the walls about "Lab Safety Rules" or "Put Your Mind To It" propaganda.

  Suddenly my pocket buzzed to life. It snapped me out of my 'poster trance' instantly, almost scaring me. Knowing it was only my phone, I secretly peeked at the message. It was from an unknown number... one I didn't recognize. Of course, my curiosity got the best of me, and i opened it anyways. Three words were in front of my eyes on the bright tiny screen.

   "Friendship Is Magic"

  I had giggled at the phrase, knowing it was from my favorite show, My Little Pony. But it was then that I'd noticed i had felt drowsy. But-I hadn't taken my medicine this morning... how could I be this tired? Ignoring it, and just thinking I hadn't gotten as much sleep as I intended, I lay my head down on my cold desk, in my arms. Closing my eyes, I had expected to see a black wall in front of me, but no. A white faze had grown brighter and brighter in front of me as everything in my body went numb.

  Instant blackness.

I felt as if I were falling. Almost like this morning as I had tried to shut off my alarm clock. But this felt much faster, and at the same time, relaxing. I had hit something hard, my eyes closed tight, as pain shot throughout my body. All feeling had faided away slowly.

A painstakingly high pitched sound filled my ears. I heard faint voices in the distance. They had seemed to be arguing about something. One voice was a thick southern accent, the other.... vaguely familiar... I tried to move, failing to even budge my leg. Slowly my whole self began to feel that 'my foot's asleep' feeling. As if thousands upon thousands of tiny needles were prickling my body. Regaining my mobility and hearing, I noticed my eyes were still tightly shut. Squinting at the action, I opened my them slowly, the bright light blinding me. The voices had become more clear, closer and easier to understand. My eyes widened when I had recognized them.

"Now who the hay just decides to fall from the sky?!"

"Calm down, AJ, it's probably just Derpy."

"Well whoever it was, they'd better not do it again! Why it's almost harvestin' season! Somepony just fell into the red delicious field! Oh sweet Celestia, if they knocked one apple off of one of them trees..."

The talking had stopped, as did the sound of hooves on the ground. I moaned, turning over in pain. I look up to find a concerned Twilight and a very confused Applejack. Twilight looked at Applejack and whispered,

"She doesn't have wings... how could she have fallen?"

Grunting, I said, "Ya know, Twilight, you're not the best whisperer."

She looked at me in shock, "Um... excuse me, but how do you know my name?" She wore the most puzzled look I've ever seen.

My heart raced as I remembered.. They don't know they're a show. This obviously isn't the human world. "Uh, lucky guess?"

  Getting up on my feet was harder than I thought. I stumbled backwards a bit, eventually falling onto my back. It didn't take long to notice; I didn't have hands!

  Eyes widened with a mixture of fear or excitement, i examined my hooves and came to a conclusion almost instantly.

"I'm a pony!" I called out

"Uh, we all are sugarcube," Applejack replied, still confused.

I was twirling around myself, almost chasing my tail like a madman- or madpony in this case. All I could see of myself without the help of a mirror was a rosy pink coat. With the widest smile across my face, I turned back to the two ponies.

"Do you need any help, Miss?" Twilight asked, concern in her tone.

""Maybe even some mental help..." Applejack added. Twilight elbowed her hard enough to get her to stop, but I ignored the comment.

"How do we get to Ponyville from here?" I asked, attempting to keep my excitement to a low.

"We can walk you there," Twilight replied with a warm smile, "But before we go, what's your name?"

I had to think for a second because a name like 'Haley' isn't all that normal for Equestria. Finally I said, "Uh, my name is.... Rainbow Shine." I attempted to pull off the most honest-to-God, (or i guess Celestia) face I could. After all, I was standing in front of the Element of Honesty. If she thought I was being honest, I was in the clear!

"Well it's nice to meet ya' Rainbow Shine!" Applejack's southern accent make my smile bigger, if it was even possible.
