When I awoke the next morning, I immediately noticed I wasn't in my bedroom anymore. I also noticed I wasn't in a bed at all. I was laying on the ground, and my whole body was aching. Through my hazy vision I could see the sunlight barely seeping through the canopy of the dense forest. Wait...Forest?

"Ugh, where am I?" I groaned.

"Oh my! Mister, are you okay?" I heard a quiet female voice ask frantically.

"Ugh, what happened?" Not entirely sure who I was talking to.

"I was out here gathering berries when I heard you tumble through the branches of a tree. You must have fallen out of the sky. Did you fall asleep while flying?"

"While flying?" I asked, completely confused. I could now see clearly, but my neck ached too much for me to turn my head to see who I was talking to.

"Um...yeah. You must have fallen asleep while flying. Are you okay?"

"I don't know..." I said. I tried to turn over on my stomach with no success.

"Do you need help?" The girl asked.

"No, I'm fine." I replied, though not entirely sure I was. I finally flung my arms to one side causing me to flip onto my stomach. My vision must've still been a little blurry because I swear my arms seemed white for a moment. I put my hand on the ground to lift myself up, but then I slipped and fell.

What the?

I put my hands out in front of me and realized that I don't have hands anymore. I have hooves. My heart suddenly started beating a thousand times faster.

There's no way this can be happening. I thought. I looked down at myself and noticed I was covered in white fur.

This can't be happening. I took one of my hooves and gently touched my long white snout.

It is.

The biggest smile grew across my face as I lifted myself up once more, now standing shakily on all fours. I'm a pony!

"Um...are you okay? You seem a bit...happy?" The girl asked.

I turned my head to see Fluttershy standing there with a concerned look on her face.

"I feel fantastic!" I said. I tried walking and immediately fell again, just like a newborn calf learning to walk. I couldn't help but laugh. Was this really happening? Was I really a pony? I got up again and unsteadily turned my body to face Fluttershy, my legs still wobbling.

"Are you okay to walk?" Fluttershy asked me.

"I honestly have no idea!" I said to her, still with a huge smile plastered onto my face.

"Well, you seem a bit bruised up. I have some things back at my cottage that could help the pain."

"Yeah that would help a lot." I said. I was still incredibly sore.

"Okay, follow me."

I started to sort of awkwardly walk next to Fluttershy back to her cottage. I tripped every few steps and I had absolutely no walking pattern whatsoever. She looked at me strangely a few times like I was a psychopath. And honestly, as happy as I was to discover that I was suddenly a pony, I felt like one. But it felt incredible.

When we finally made it to her cottage, I stepped inside and was amazed. It looked exactly like it did on the show.

"Wait here, I'll be back with a special medicine I use for numbing pain." Fluttershy told me. She walked into another room while I was left to marvel at everything in the room.

There were so many animals. I took another look at my hooves. I was definitely white. I looked behind me and noticed I had a black tail with red streaks in it. I also noticed one other thing...I HAD WINGS!!! I had always loved pegasi, and now I am one. This is going to be the greatest day ever, I can already tell.

Fluttershy finally came back with a spoon that had a green liquid in it. "Here, drink this."

Not really sure how to take it from her, I kind of just took the spoon in my mouth and drank the liquid. It was the worst thing I had ever tasted in my entire life. I spat out the spoon, but not before swallowing the medicine.

Fluttershy giggled, "I know, it tastes bad, but it does the trick." It turned out she was right. A few minutes later I didn't feel any pain at all.

"I feel so much better. Thanks, Fluttershy." I said.

"Um...how did you know my name?"

"Oh, uh...I've heard about you from other ponies about how you care for a lot of animals in need." I said, hoping she'd believe me.

"Wow, I didn't know I was that well known."

Whew, I dodged a bullet there. I have to remember that no one...no pony here knows I'm a human that watches their adventures like it's some sort of children's TV show.

"Well, if you don't mind me asking, what's your name?" Fluttershy asked.

"My name?" I never thought about making a pony name before. I never even made an OC, so I didn't really need one. I needed to make one up fast. One that sounded good.

"My name is White Flash." I said. Damn that sucks.

"Oh, that's a nice name."

"Uh, yeah, I was named after my great-great grandfather."

"So...where were you flying to when you fell?"

"Oh, um I was just flying around. I've been wanting to move and I was looking for a place to live." I was spitting out lies left and right.

"Well, you crashed in the right place. Ponyville is a very nice place to live." Fluttershy smiled, "Everypony is friendly and there are plenty of houses for sale."

"I'll check it out." I said, "How do you get to Ponyville from here?"

"Oh, I'll come with you, I've been needing to go to the market to get some animal food anyway." Fluttershy led the way out of her cottage and we started down the road toward Ponyville, but not before she said goodbye to her animals. I could barely walk straight from all of the excitement.

I am a pony

...

I am walking with Fluttershy

...

To Ponyville

...

Buck yes...

We walked down the dirt road as Fluttershy told me everything that I already knew about Ponyville.

"Oh, you're just going to love it here in Ponyville," Fluttershy said as we walked, "It's such a fun place, and you won't find a mean soul anywhere! It's-"

"Look out below!"

A voice cut Fluttershy off, and I suddenly got knocked to the ground and tumbled about ten feet backwards. I felt really dazed and I could actually see birds flying around in my vision. Living in a cartoon is awesome. I shook off my dizziness and looked over to see none other than Rainbow Dash rubbing her head. Oh my God, it's Rainbow Dash.

"Ugh, sorry, I guess I still need to work on that trick, heh." Before I could even get to my feet, Rainbow bolted over to me and looked me in the eyes. "I haven't seen you around before. Are you new?"

"Um..." I tried to reply.

"Rainbow Dash, this is White Flash. I found him injured in the Everfree Forest so I helped him and now I'm taking him to Ponyville to look at some houses for sale." Fluttershy explained.

"Uh, yeah. What she said." I said with a nervous smile. I'm talking to Rainbow Dash!

"So you're thinking of moving in? Great! It'll be nice to have another Pegasus around here." She said with a smile.

"Uh, yeah." I said, and finally got to my feet. Rainbow Dash stared at me for a few more moments with a look on her face that I didn't really recognize, and then she suddenly turned her gaze forward as she trotted down the dirt road. I just stood there surprised. Rainbow Dash is exactly how she is in the show. I was still standing there until Fluttershy had to snap me out of my trance.

"Um, White Flash? Aren't you going to come along?" She asked. Her and Rainbow were already ahead of me while I was standing there.

"Yeah, really! C'mon!" Rainbow Dash yelled. I galloped over until I caught up with them, and we started walking.

The three of us continued down the road toward Ponyville. As we walked, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy started telling me all about the adventures they'd had in Ponyville with their friends. I already knew about most of them from the show of course, but I wasn't going to tell them that. I was ecstatic to even be talking to them.

"So how'd you end up in Ponyville anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, I was flying around looking for a place to move to, when I guess I felt so exhausted that I just kind of...passed out over the Everfree forest and I fell." I said, going with Fluttershy's story.

"Well, you're lucky Fluttershy was there to find you. The Everfree forest isn't exactly the best place to pass out in the middle of."

"No kidding." I said. After a little while, we finally arrived at Ponyville. I don't know why I was so surprised that it looked the same as in the show. It was painfully colorful with cottages, shops, and ponies everywhere. And it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

"Well, here we are!" Rainbow Dash said, "The wonderful little town of Ponyville!"

"Looks nice." I said, trying to contain my enthusiasm. On the inside, I was bouncing off the walls and exploding into a blaze of brony excitement.

"Yep," Rainbow confirmed, "It may not look like the kind of top-of-the-line place to be, but it's pretty great." She flew a few feet into the air and looked around. "Now lets get looking for some houses!"

Fluttershy and I started walking further into the town, while Rainbow Dash flew higher in the air with her hoof above her brow.

"Where to look, where to look..." Rainbow started, "There's that house at-Hey there's Twilight!" Rainbow Dash yelled, and zoomed over to a confused Twilight Sparkle. Rainbow Dash had to practically shove her toward Fluttershy and me until she finally knew what was going on and started walking toward us.

"Twilight, this is White Flash." Rainbow said with a giant grin, obviously eager to introduce us.

"Hi there, White Flash, I'm Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you." Twilight smiled.

"Likewise." I said. I looked at all three of the ponies. I'm face to face with Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy right now. I just can't even. I can't.

"So what brings you to Ponyville?" Twilight asked.

"I'm looking for a good place to live, and Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash say there's no better place than Ponyville."

"Well I know of some houses for sale, but the cheapest one is 1000 bits." Twilight told me.

"1000 bits?" I wonder what the bits to dollars conversion is. "That reminds me, I also need a job."

"If it's a job you're looking for, you could always sign up for the weather ponies! It's a tough job but it pays well." Rainbow Dash said.

"That sounds great!" I said. I always wondered what it would be like to change the weather whenever I wanted.

"Awesome! Follow me!" Rainbow Dash quickly flew into the air and out of sight.

"Um, well, see you girls around later." I said with an awkward smile. They waved goodbye at me as I attempted for the first time in my life to fly.

Opening my wings was an entirely new experience on its own. Being able to move appendages on my back was one of the weirdest things I had ever felt, but who was I to complain about weirdness? I woke up as a pony and met three cartoon characters all on the same day. I opened my wings and stretched them as wide as I could. I slowly started flapping them, which really isn't nearly as easy and simple as it sounds, and unsteadily ascended into the air. I ascended in short bursts of speed, almost like a fifteen year old just learning to drive. I finally got to a comfortable altitude and shakily hovered while looking for Rainbow Dash. I turned around and jumped back in surprise to see her directly in front of me with a look of impatience.

"Come on, White Flash, I don't have all day." She said, and flew away while I slowly and unsteadily followed. I didn't know if there was any trick to flying, I just flapped my wings every so often and then tried to glide off of that. Most of the time, the glide would fail and I would end up flapping my wings ferociously like I was drowning in the air.

We eventually arrived at a building with some kind of training course in the backyard. Rainbow Dash landed softly at the front door. I attempted doing the same, but I folded my wings midair, and ended up plummeting to the ground and tumbling into a tree. Not my smartest move.

Rainbow Dash walked over to me. "Jeez, you really need to work on your landing." She commented.

"Yeah, I never was the best at landing." I said as and excuse as I got up and shook off my slight concussion.

"Well come on. Let's get you signed up."

I followed Rainbow Dash into the building to sign up for being a weather pony. Inside, there was a unicorn reading a book behind a desk. I looked at Rainbow Dash and she motioned for me to go forward. I walked up to the desk and sat there for a good 20 seconds kind of awkwardly before the unicorn looked over the cover of the book straight at me. "Can I help you?"

"Uh, yeah, I'd like to sign up to be a weather pony." I said. I was incredibly nervous. I had never applied for a job before.

The mare levitated a paper pad and a pencil in front of her.

"Name?"

"White Flash."

"Date of birth?"

"6-5-96" I said, hoping Equestria used the same calendar I did.

"Have you had any past experiences with being a weather pony?"

"No."

"Any work experience at all?"

"Well, one time I got paid for mowing someone's lawn." I said. "Does that count?"

"I guess it could." The mare said.

She wrote down all of my answers on the paper, then ripped it out and gave it to me. I didn't really know how to hold it so I just kind of held it in my mouth.

"You're training will start next week. Have a nice day."

"Thanks." I said, and walked out of the building, Rainbow Dash following behind me. I couldn't believe it was that easy. I would've thought applying for a job would be a lot more complicated than that.

"Well that was a good 30 seconds I guess." I said as we walked away from the weather building.

"You really know how to keep things awkward while getting interviewed, don't you." Rainbow Dash said with a smirk.

"Well, I didn't really know how to go about it, I've never applied for a job before." I defended.

She laughed. "Don't worry, I'm just messing with you. That's how I was when I first applied for the job too."

"Well I'm just excited I have a job now."

My stomach suddenly growled. I was so caught up in everything that had happened that I almost forgot I was starving.

"So, you wouldn't happen to know a good place to get some lunch around here, would you?" I asked.

"I know the perfect place! But let's walk there this time, I don't want you to break a wing or something trying to land again." Rainbow Dash laughed. We walked together a short distance toward a building that I found very familiar in the show: Sugarcube Corner.

"It's not much of a restaurant," Rainbow Dash said as we got closer, "but it sure gets the job done when you're hungry. Pinkie Pie's cupcakes are the best."

Oh my God, Pinkie Pie! I'm gonna meet Pinkie Pie! This day just keeps getting better.

We walked into the bakery toward the counter, but nopony was there to greet us. Rainbow Dash looked around. "Uh, hello? Is anypony-"

"Hi Dashie! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner!" Pinkie Pie popped up behind the counter out as if appearing from thin air. Knowing Pinkie Pie, that was probably the case. "Ooh ooh, who's this?" Pinkie asked, pointing a pink hoof at me.

"Pinkie Pie, meet White Flash." Rainbow Dash said. I put my hoof out to shake, and Pinkie grabbed it and shook violently.

"Yay! A new face! I've always ALWAYS wanted somepony new in Ponyville! Well, there was Twilight, but she's not so new anymore, so it looks like you're the NEW new pony around here! Oh, I'm gonna have to plan a party and invite everypony in Ponyville and then-"

"Uh, Pinkie we just came by to grab some cupcakes." Rainbow Dash interrupted.

"Of course!" Pinkie said, and finally stopped shaking my hoof and brought up a bag of cupcakes from behind the counter. Rainbow Dash put the bag of cupcakes on her back and paid Pinkie for the cupcakes. Meanwhile, I was still trying to shake off my dizziness from Pinkie's hoof shake.

"So, do you like Ponyville, White Flash?" Pinkie asked with a beaming smile.

"Yep!" I said. "It's exactly the kind of place I've always wanted to live in." I couldn't have been more truthful.

"That's super!" Pinkie said. "I'm sure you'll fit right in!"

Pinkie's usual high pitched voice put a smile on my face. I can't believe I'm talking to Pinkie Pie right now.

Rainbow Dash smiled too. "Alright, well we're gonna go. We'll see you later, Pinkie." She said.

"Bye White Flash! Bye Dashie!" Pinkie waved as we walked out.

"Don't mind Pinkie," Rainbow told me after we left, "she can be a little...crazy sometimes."

"It sure seems like it." I said.

Rainbow Dash laughed, "Yeah, you'll get used to it."

We walked over to a table outside and sat down. Rainbow Dash had set the bag of cupcakes down on the table, and she ripped it open, revealing four sweet, delicious cupcakes. I took one in my mouth and started chowing down.

So, let's assess my current situation. I am a white pegasus in Equestria, eating cupcakes that I got from Pinkie Pie, with my favorite pony, Rainbow Dash to celebrate becoming a weather pony. This is the greatest day ever in the history of days ever.

"So, where did you say you were from?" Rainbow Dash asked me between bites of her cupcake.

"Oh, uh." I started. Where is somewhere from the show...

"I'm from Manehattan." I said. I guess it was kind of close. I lived close to Manhattan on Earth.

"Really? Why would you want to move from Manehattan?." Rainbow Dash asked.

"Well, I just don't really like the noise of big cities, you know? I like a more quiet and rural area."

"Oh, okay." She said. "Well, I hope you enjoy it here!"

I smiled. "I look forward to it."

After we ate, we got up and started walking through Ponyville.

"So where do you want to go next?" Dash asked.

"Well, there's-"

"Hey, there's Applejack!" Rainbow pointed out. Looks like I had no choice. We trotted over to Applejack, who was standing at a stall selling her famous apple related products.

"Hey Applejack, this is my new friend, White Flash. He just arrived here in Ponyville."

"Well howdy there, White Flash. It's a pleasure to meet ya." Applejack said, smiling. Her southern accent was almost too much to handle.

"Likewise." I said.

"Would you like to try a free sample of the Apple family's famous apple pies?"

"Sure!" I said, and Applejack handed me a small piece of pie. I put the whole thing in my mouth and sweet holy mother of God it was amazing!

My eyes went wide. "This is the best thing I have ever tasted in my entire life!"

"Yeah, we Apples try our best." Applejack said, blushing a little.

"Well it's amazing. I'm going to have to buy one when I have the money."

"Here, you can have one for free."

"Really?"

"Sure! Think of it as a welcoming gift to Ponyville."

"Thanks, Applejack."

"No problem, sugarcube."

Applejack gave me a box with the delectable apple pie in it, and I put it on my back.

This place is just amazing.

"So what are you up to, AJ?" Dash asked.

"Ah, not much. Just sellin' the recent apple pickin's at the Acres."

"Did you and Big Mac fix the broken door on your barn?"

"Yeah. Though we wouldn't have needed to if Applebloom and her friends weren't up to their crazy antics. Those little Fillies sure are determined to get their cutie marks."

"Ah, they just have a sense of adventure is all. They remind me of me when I was their age."

"Except you didn't destroy property."

"Well most of the time." Rainbow Dash said. They shared a quick laugh.

"We should probably get going." Rainbow Dash said, "See ya, Applejack."

"Thanks again for the pie, Applejack."

"Anytime!" Applejack said. We waved back at her as we walked away through the town.

"So where to next?" I asked Rainbow as we walked through Ponyville once more.

"Well, there's still one of my friends you haven't met yet, we could go see her."

"Sure." Only one possibility: Rarity.

And just as I thought, we eventually arrived at Rarity's boutique. As we walked in, Rarity was rushing around the boutique, looking frantic.

"Oh no, oh no, oh NO!!"

"Uh, Rarity, is something wrong?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes! Very! I have a client that ordered a suit that I am no where near finishing, and he expects it done by tonight! I-" Rarity stopped when she saw me. "Rainbow Dash, who's your friend?"

"Rarity, this is White Flash." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Oh, yes well, it's a pleasure to meet you and all but do you mind if I borrow you for a moment?" Rarity asked me.

"Um..?" I said, confused.

"I just need to use you as a model to make the suit my clients wants. You look exactly his size."

"Uh..."

"Oh pretty please!" Rarity batted her eyelashes.

"Sure..." I said reluctantly. Being a suit model didn't exactly sound like the best time, but I couldn't say no to those adorable eyes.

"Great! Now if you could just stand on that podium, I'll be over with the materials."

I walked over to the podium while Rarity rushed into another room to gather materials. I stood there for a few moments waiting, but not for long. Rarity rushed in and covered me in a silky drape-like thing. Then she started cutting in different spots to make it so it matched my size. The whole time she basically just made a suit that fit me. It took a few hours, and I almost fell asleep a few times during the process, so I was relieved when it was finally over.

"Ah, thank you so much! I have the suit done just in time. I simply cannot thank you enough!" Rarity said with a huge smile.

"It's no problem." I said.

"Oh, but I feel I must give you something for your troubles...I know! The first piece of clothing you ever want to buy from my boutique is completely free!"

"Wow, really? Thanks."

"Oh anything for a pony who helped me in my time of need." Rarity said, "What did you say your name was?"

"I'm White Flash."

"Well. White Flash, I'm Rarity. Thank you so much for your help."

I looked out the window. It was already getting dark.

"Well Rarity, it's getting kind of late, I should probably get going."

"Of course. You might want to wake Rainbow Dash though." I looked over. Rainbow Dash had fallen asleep during the suit fitting. I walked over to her and nudged her with my hoof.

"Hey, Dash. Wake up sleepy head."

"Wha? Oh, hey Flash. Is Rarity done yet?" Rainbow said groggily. She slowly got up and stretched. "Ugh, wow what time is it?" she said as she noticed the darkness outside. "Well, we should probably go, Rarity. See ya later."

"I'll see you two tomorrow." Rarity said, and continued to hang the suit up on the pony mannequin.

"Come on, Flash." Rainbow Dash said as we both walked out of the boutique.

"I think I'm gonna head on home, White Flash." Rainbow Dash said as we got outside.

"Oh, uh, that reminds me." I said, "I still have nowhere to live."

"Seriously? How did we forget to look for houses? Anyway, you can crash at my place until you have somewhere to live."

"Really? Thanks, Dash."

"No problem, you'd probably do the same for me. Follow me."

Rainbow Dash ascended into the air and I followed close behind, still with novice flying skills. I should really work on that. We flew for a bit until we reached Rainbow Dash's cloud house. She landed at the front door and I did my best not to kill myself doing the same thing. She opened the door and we stepped inside.

I didn't really know what to think of it. I didn't remember any episodes that showed the inside of the house, well not any that I had seen anyway. To the left, there was a couch facing a table that had a stack of magazines on it. To the right was a kitchen, and in the middle there was a hallway that led to more of the house. There were pieces of paper and other various things scattered around the room.

"Here we are!" Rainbow Dash said.

"Nice place you have here." I said.

"Yeah, don't mind the mess, I wasn't prepared for company." Rainbow Dash yawned. "I don't know about you, but I'm beat. I'll see you in the morning. You can just crash on the couch or wherever you find comfortable. If you get hungry, feel free to make a snack, there's food in the pantry."

"Hey, Dash?" I said.

"Yeah?"

"Thank you so much for everything today. You showed me around Ponyville, you helped me get my first job, and now you're giving me a place to sleep. Thank you." I said, genuinely grateful.

"Hey, no problem," She smiled, "That's what friends are for." And with that, she walked down the hallway, probably to her room.

Friends. I smiled as I realized that today, I made friends with Rainbow Dash. And all of the other ponies! This has got to be the greatest thing to ever happen to me.

I yawned. I was getting tired as well. I was about to fall into the couch, when I remembered something. I still haven't seen what I completely look like yet.

I walked into the kitchen and searched for a mirror. Luckily, there was one just above the sink. I looked at my face. I had crimson colored eyes, and a mane that sort of looked like a black spiky mohawk with a red streak through it, just like my tail.

I backed up and looked over my whole body. I didn't look bad at all. But there was one thing. I noticed I didn't have my cutie mark. I wonder why no pony mentioned it to me. Anyway, I was tired so I walked over to the couch and lay down.

To recap today, I woke up in Equestria as a pony, the thing I wanted most in the world, then I met all of the ponies and made friends, something I've never had. And now I'm about to sleep in my favorite pony's house. All on my birthday, too. If this is a dream, I sincerely hope I never have to wake up.

Author's Notes:

Again, this is the boring intro to the story, but the fun parts are coming, don't worry
