The ground felt so good, I was glad I was in the air anymore. Getting up I noticed my armor was off to the side nicely folded and stacked on top of each other in a nice little pile. My gun however was still in my hand and it was still hot from firing at the monster.

“Wow, t-that was amazing, flying thru the air and such. I would pay to do that again.”

I got up and began to suit up. But as I looked around I wasn't in the woods anymore I was in a lush green field with rolling hills and a cool breeze that would sweep by here and there. The sky was clear only a few puffy clouds were up. the grass was tall and thick, and when the wind would blow the grass would tickle my legs. Suddenly the compass in my pocket began to glow again this time a golden yellow glow came out of the little markings of the outer ring.

“This, is some freaky stuff man. What is this thing?”

I said as I moved the out ring around in circles. The needle in the center swung to the south and began shaking like it was being pulled by some sort of pull. I put it down as I slipped on my gear and reloaded my MP5. I reached for my phone pulled it out and turned it on. It was already on and I had full reception.

“Either i'm on another planet that has WiFi or im still on earth, but I think if I follow this compass I should find out. Man what a cliche.”

I put the compass in my side pouch as I slip my phone in my pocket again and pushed on toward the horizon wherever that may be.

Night had fallen and I had found my way to the hills. The air was cool and the air was nipping at my nose. I pulled up the rag over my mouth and continued on. The hills aren't that tall or steep, it’s just that there were a lot of them and the night air was making me tired. At the top of the first hill I saw a mountain, a tall mountain that pierced the clouds that toward over the others. On that mountain one the side was a great castle that had huge towers and walls that had a railway track heading up to it.

“Well thats a sight, ain't it? There’s no way i'm making it there tonight.”

I looked down from the mountains and saw a small village that had street lights and smoke rising from the chimneys. They had straw roofs and gravel paths that lead all around that general area. On the outskirts of town was a big red that was the closest to me.

“I'll head there tomorrow right now I need to sleep.

I folded my arms under my helmet and fell asleep with my gun near me.

The following morning I woke to a beautiful sunrise that came up over the mountains and shown a orange glow against the valley and the village. Dew was on top the grass which I didn't mind, but when I got I slipped on the dew and fell down the hill. Again that wouldn’t bother me but I had was SMG strapped to me and a USP in my pocket, and I forgot that I put the safety on or not. At the bottom of the hill I looked up and found myself at the end of the gravel that was lined with orange and yellow trees. The wind blew and made the leaves fly in  circles around in the air. The sun rays danced in the wind as it shown thru the cracks in the branches of the trees as the trees waved in the breeze. I pulled myself up and continued down the path as I soon found myself running down the path. I felt alive finally I felt freedom, my life on earth soon floated away in the wind as new possibilities filled my head.

“A new mind, and new life, a new world, I, am, ALIVE!”

I shouted as the wind I made picked of leaves and flowed thru the air as they passed by my face. As I formed a new mind a mind full of questions, and endless possibilities. I soon became out of breath and slowed down to a jog and then to a fast walk. The barn came into sight as the trees pulled away to make room for a long stretch of white fence. The trees became apple trees as the grouped together into a fields behind the barn.

“OKay act like you do this every day, don’t stutter, okay, lets do this.”

I entered the barn gates and I saw a huge apple on the sign. The barn seemed a lot more red when I saw it up close. I walked up to the doors and knocked four times.

“You know what, this place looks a lot like Appleja...”

The door opened and what I saw put me in shock. It was a Orange pony that looked to come up to my waist. She wore a brown cowboy hat and had three apples on her flank.

“Howdy, i'm Applejack, welcome to Sweet Apple Acres, home of the best apples this side of Equestria. Your new around here, aren't you? Who and umm, what are you?”

My head was spinning, I was talking to Applejack,on Sweet Apple Acres, on the outskirts of Ponyville, in Equestria. I could only mutter one word, “F-friendly.” Then I passed out.

“I-is it going to be, okay Applejack?” “It will be fine he just passed out. Nurse Redheart  said if we leave him alone he’ll snap back.”

I heard them talking over me some was blurred but others I could make it out. I opened my eyes very slowly and carefully. I saw my visor was down over my face which shielded my eyes so no one could know I was up. My eyes darted around, from what I could see I was in a room, on a couch. I put my hand on the top of the couch and pulled myself up.

“Oh, good yer up, Applejack stepped out for a minute, i'm Applebloom. What's your name?”

A little yellow filly was sitting in front of me like she was watching me while I was out. I pulled up my visor and gave her a little smile.

“HI, Applebloom, i’m James, James Noble. I’m not from around here as you can tell. I’m from another world and I am probably just as confused as you are and...”

“No, not really. There’s been a lot of strange things happening lately so this doesn’t surprise me.”

“Oh? Like what?”

“Lots of ponies have been going missing, We are not sure where they going, but it’s always on the last day of the month. Since the year started it’s been happening.”

“Well that not good maybe I should ask some people in town, hows that sound?”

“Well hold on there, you can’t just prance into Ponyville, you’ll start a riot! I’ll take you into town so every pony don’t run away.”

I got up on my feet and look for my gun. It was on top of a side stand in the corner of the room. I picked it up and checked it. It was a lot dirtier than I remember, in fact I don’t remember what it looked like last. Just to many new thoughts running through my head. Applebloom Lead me out of the farm house and onto a gravel path that was rolling over some hills into town.

“So, where you say you were from again?

“Oh i’m from Earth a planet very much like yours but everyone isn't a pony. It’s ruled by humans, and we built great cities and countries, to militaries and social classes to live and interact . Everything you have excpt we have a little bit more.”

“Like what?” she said with a stare.

“Well, we have bigger cities and technology. You see our world is run on electricity, almost everything needs some sort of power to run. Cars need gas, trains need diesel fuel, and don’t understand a world im say aren't you.”

“Nope, but I like to listen.” She said with a smile.

We were reaching the city limits when I told applebloom to stop for a second.

“Okay,” Pulling out my phone, “This is a phone, more specifically a cell phone, we use these things back on earth to communicate with people when they're not right next to each other. Say you have a uncle thats some where in another state, and you want to talk to him, you can punch in his number here and call him and talk to him through here. But this is a special phone because this phone, can browse the internet another thing us humans need. You can search anything here and it will come up with info about that certain search. Like apples or repair services.” AppleBloom's eyes were wide with wonder.

“Wow mr, thats a lot to her in one day. So you really need this umm, Internet, to, like, function, right?”

‘Sadly, yes, but it’s not that big of a deal thats just one of many wonders of my world.”

“One thing I don't understand, why when you said your name was James, why on your back it says, SWAT?”

“Oh that not my name it stands for, Special Weapons And Tactics, it’s a law group that helps defend the innocent from the criminals. A very hard group to get into.”

“Oh so thats like a suit. And you can take that off yes?”

“Yes I could if I wanted to but right now I think i’ll keep it on, but this helmet does itch.”

I took of the helmet and clipped it to my waist belt. I patted down my hair and wiped my face off from the sweet.”See”

“Huh, that sure is a very cool lookin uniform then.”
