I was dead, in front of my friends, on the bus. The man was picking me up from the pavement and dragging me into a forest. He then proceeded to revive me. As I woke up, I saw the man but there was something different about him. He had a horn, but not just any horn, it was glowing. In my daze I also saw that the man was turning from a man to something different, perhaps a horse? But the horse was shorter than me, the man took off his hood. He was no longer a man, but a dark blue unicorn type thing.
"Can you hear me?" The horse said, in a high pitched tone. I found out that he was no longer a he, but a she.
"Yes." I replied in a tired tone, even after being dead for a couple of minutes. She then tapped my forehead with her horn and I blacked out almost instantly.
When I woke up, there was a throbbing pain in my head, I looked around and after a couple minutes of questioning where I was and staring at this new land in complete awe, the dark blue unicorn (Who I could now see had wings) said "You're in Equestria. Yes, I knew that you we're questioning where you are, but I can assure you, you are in Equestria." During all of this, I was just sitting there with a stupid look on my face, for I was questioning if I was going insane or if the (I guess) pony was talking. After the talking (and me with my retarded look) we set off for what she said was a town called Canterlot. After walking for a couple of hours, I worked up the courage to ask her something that was bothering me ever since I arrived "Why exactly did you kill me, revive me, and bring me here?" She looked at me and said "I can't answer that, that is something you must find out." And with that very strange statement, we continued to the town of Canterlot.
After what felt like forever we arrived in the town and Luna (Yes, I asked her what her name was) showed me around. The town was one of the best that I've seen in a very long time, and by a long time I mean my ENTIRE life. During the tour of the peaceful town, we met some ponies, some who were complete greedy, snobby, jerks, and some who were, how can I put this... Very nice? But, there was one pony that stuck out in my mind. Her name was Octavia. She had grey fur (I think?), her tail and mane were black, a very classy bow tie, pink eyes that I got lost in, and a picture of a Treble Clef on basing off of what I knew, her flank. What made her stand out was the Treble Clef on her flank, I was almost sure that it meant that she was someone who played an instrument.
After the tour of Canterlot, I was curious on what the inside of the royal Canterlot castle looked like from the inside. I asked Luna if we could go and check it out, she said, in my way of understanding things, that we could. So we set off for the castle, following sign after sign for what seemed to be eternity. As we approached the castle, I could make out two figures by the gate of the castle, I wasn't sure who or what they were but from the way they looked, it seemed that they were angry. When we got to the castle, the two figures, that now resembled guards, opened the gate and we walked inside. I was startled when the gate shut with a bang (Yep, I was always the scared one), Luna quietly laughed. When we had gotten inside, I was not prepared to see Octavia playing what looked like (To my understanding of stringed instruments) a cello. I began sweating (Why? I have no clue) as I looked at the grey pony trying to look like I was not scared, but inside, I was... A lot. Just as I was about to walk away, I noticed my Trombone. I was happy to see something that I knew how to use, but at the same time I was wondering, "Why is my Trombone here?" I didn't have anytime to answer my own question, because Luna had levitated the instrument to me. I asked her very quietly as to not to disturb Octavia from her playing "Why?" But Luna pushed me to the spot where Octavia was playing.
She noticed me, Luna, and my Trombone and said with a tone of class "Hello there" I stood, frozen in place, sweat dripping from my forehead. "You ok there?" She asked, I nodded my head, "Nice, um... Cello you got there" I said, very nervously. After a few minutes of a very awkward silence, she asked me if I could play the Trombone, I of course made the idiotic decision to ask "Why?" When I remembered about what was in my hands. "Because you've got one right there" she said with a chuckle. I could feel my face turning red due to embarrassment. "Come on, I know you want to" She was right, I did want to play it, for I was, in my opinion, a Trombone Jedi (No comment). I walked up to Octavia and stood to the right of her. I noticed the music stand in front of me, with the Trombone part of many musical pieces. I shuffled through the music until I found the one that was on the top of the stand in front of Octavia. "You ready?" She asked me, "As I'll ever be" I replied with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
After what felt like a couple of hours, she said "Well, this was fun, we'll have to do it again soon" I nodded my head with a very big smile on my face. As she was putting her Cello away in the case, she said to me "I had never gotten your name, mind telling me what it is?" After a few seconds I said in reply "Cody." After that, and seeing that Luna had left (Where she was, I haven't got the slightest idea), I put the trombone back where it was. Octavia asked me if I knew my way around the castle, I shook my head to say no, and Octavia was silent for a moment. After the moment of silence, she asked me if I wanted to stay at her house, where I wouldn't get lost very easily.
"That would be wonderful" I said in reply.
