My name is Private Jack White; I’m 23 years old and probably should be dead right now. But we’re skipping ahead by a lot let me go back to where it all started.
It was not long ago that I was on the USS Arizona, and I know what you’re thinking “the Arizona? Wasn’t that destroyed in pearl harbor during the attack on December 7th 1941?” Yes it was and by all rights I should be very dead I mean it’s 2012 I should either be in a retirement home, buried in some cemetery or spread all over the pacific?
I mean I was there I saw that damned plane fly in and drop that bomb that killed all my friends. Why I didn’t die I don’t know all I do know is one minute I’m working the munitions elevator and the next thing I know I wake up as a freaking horse, or stallion being helped up by some yellow and pink horse, or pony asking if I’m alright!
So back to the present or past whatever I don’t know according to her it’s 2012 and about an hour ago I was talking to my friend about how the Japanese are starting to worry me. This yellow pony helps me up and very nervously asks if I’m alright, I guess she has a right to be worried according to her there was a huge explosion and all of a sudden I’m lying in a smoking crater where her favorite trees used to be.
“Um, excuse me, are you okay?” this strange pony asked while helping me up with surprising gentleness. “No where am I? And who are you? And why am I a horse?!”
“Um well I was walking rainbow dash’s pet turtle and I heard this big explosion and I wanted to make sure that no one was hurt and then I found you. Here lean on me before you fall again, if that’s okay.”
Still dizzy and not completely sure I’m not hallucinating I asked, “Who are you and what’s going on?”

She said “oh my name’s Fluttershy and you’re in Ponyville”
I stopped and stared at this smiling yellow and pink pony and realized I wasn’t hallucinating and was holding on to her not with an arm with a hand and fingers but with a green hoof. I couldn’t believe it and told her so, maybe with some language that could be considered a bit strong but to be fair I had just woken up as a horse. Fully awake now and feeling the new sensation of walking on ground with hooves and realizing all injuries I actually had I passed out again.
“Where did you find him? He looks awful” a feminine voice asked not fluttershy more proper and sounding less worried about me and more worried about my looks.
“I saw the explosion from my cloud! It was huge I’ve never seen anything like it before it was even bigger than my sonic rainboom! I gotta ask him how he did it!” Yelled a second voice this one was more excited about my apparent ability to blow shit up.
“Not now rainbow dash, we need to make sure he’s okay before you start trying to get him to blow more stuff up” Said the third voice this one sounded the most concerned.
I slowly opened my eyes and saw a white unicorn with a purple mane looking over my burned and torn army uniform, a blue and rainbow pegasus flying back from a tower of smoke covered in soot and smiling ear to ear, and finally a purple unicorn with a glowing horn checking something on my side.
“Wha, happened?” I managed to croak while trying to sit up.
“Don’t move you’re pretty banged up, the purple one said my names Twilight, over there is Rarity and your biggest fan is Rainbow dash. She said motioning to the white unicorn and then the flying Pegasus.
“Do you remember anything?” asked Twilight
“All I remember was loading the cordite and the next thing I know I’m getting picked up by some yellow pony.”
“Yeah that’s Fluttershy she came running to me a little while after that big explosion and Rarity came with me, Rainbow dash was already helping with damage control.”
That was the first time I got a good look at my surroundings and noticed everything how vibrant the colors were how Twilight was looking at me with curiosity and a little fear.
“We’d better get you to my place till your better then we’ll figure out what happened c’mon.”
Twilight’s horn started glowing and I started to stand and walk next to her without walking. I looked down and saw my legs moving on their own while surrounded with a purple glow, we walked in silence for a minute while a lot of other pegasus’s flew towards the smoke, finally Twilight started talking about what happened.
“So before when I asked what happened you said you were loading cordite?”
“Yeah I was loading it so we could start shooting back at… you don’t know what that is do you?”
“No sorry is it some kind of magic?”
“No it’s an explosive that until now I thought was pretty stable.”
“Well that would explain the crater and fire”
We walked for another few minutes in silence not sure what to say until we got to the town.
“Well here we are, ponyville c’mon I’ll take you to my house I have an extra bed you can stay in till you get better.”
“Thank you I just need time to clear my head.”
Twilight guided me to a house and guided me to a room off to the side, she yelled to something called spike that they had a guest and to help me but I was too tired to even try to think. The next thing I knew I was lying in a bed staring at a purple and green dragon asking me if I needed anything. I couldn’t do anything but ask what he was, he didn’t seem all that surprised but why should he, he lives in a place with talking ponies.
“My name’s Spike! What’s yours?”
“Uh just call me G.I.”
“Okay G.I! If you need anything just let me know.”
