    I'm Pinkie Pie Dammit Pinkie stop breaking the fourth wall!

    Falling

    Falling.

    It’s a simple word, but the effects of it can be deadly, surprising, and alarming. I got all three jumbled in one. Wind was rushing past my face, my wings were stuck by my side and..

    Wait, wings since when do humans have wings. I can now add confusing to the list of emotions caused by this free fall.

    Panic takes over my body, the wings can wait until I stop falling, and preferably not when I hit the ground. My body begins to hit clouds on the way down and even though they are made of simple bits of water floating in the air they seem to slow my decent. Whatever the cause of this I have a way to slow down, I just hope its enough for me to survive the fall, hopefully without broken bones.

    As I hit clouds one by one I can feel my decent slowing rapidly, but the ground is getting closer at a much higher pace. Every time I hit a cloud it feels like hopping on a bed only to fall through it and continue onto the next one. Maybe if I can find a thick enough cloud I can stop my decent completely.

    A few more clouds come and go, with pony shaped holes now in the middle, another question that I can answer once I land. Soon enough a thick dark grey storm cloud is approaching, but its over to the left and I’m moving to fast to glide over to it.

    "Great, A cloud that can save my ass and its to far away, isn’t this just great. Wait I have wings!”

    I begin to flap my new wings and head over to the cloud, or at least I would if I knew how to use these dam things. The cloud goes passing by just two feet away from my rapidly falling body.

    “So cloud that can save me. Gone. Wings that can save me. Not working. I screwed”

    Lost in my internal rant, I fail to see the fast approaching storm cloud directly below me. Its much darker then the last one and the insides seem to be glowing a menacing blue. Hitting the storm cloud dead center, It begins to stretch but its holding my weight. Just as everything is beginning to look like its going to be ok that menacing blue glow reappears, and big shocker its was lightning.

    “Well this is just Fuc..”

    A loud boom rivaling Rainbow Dash’s Sonic Rainboom spread’s though the area. A purple unicorn and a blue Pegasus look up to the cause of the noise and see a dark blue Pegasus falling from a storm cloud that just released a lightning bolt.
    “Twilight, why is Blue Mist falling from the sky.”

    “Opps, I think I teleported him to the wrong spot.”

    How did I start falling, Earth that’s right I was on Earth back when I was a human, all those years ago. Well it felt like years but really its been five minutes. Lets see, It was Friday, I had just gotten home and thats right.

    This is not my life, my life ended three years ago along with everyone else I knew.
    The only difference between us is that my existence continues. As I pull into the driveway Home by Three Days Grace starts playing, even a radio station seems to know how I feel.
    As I park my car I see the house that was once a home, but with everyone gone it's just a house now.

    A simple house, nothing special about it. Plane white siding, a few windows scattered around. With four acres of small forest to every side its perfect for a secluded lifestyle.
    You would say its perfect for my life, but with everyone gone is this still a life?
    Days blended into weeks, then months, finally three years passed.
    Three years since my life ended with everyone else I knew, everyone I loved.

    But fate had a sense of humor when it came to me, my physical being survived that day but I emotionally died. It would have been easier if I died with them.
    My life would have continued with them, not ended.

    Walking inside I yell out "I'm back.”
    Wishing that one day a familiar voice would respond to me.
    Wishing that one day I would realize it was all a dream.
    Wishing that one day, wishes could come true.

    I see the place just how I left it, empty. Three sets of keys sit in a bowl, on top of some change. Two sets of keys go to the two cars sitting in the driveway. The other set belongs to a car that was lost, along with everyone else, three years ago. Five chairs sit around a table, only one is ever used now. A large kitchen, stocked with food to feed an entire family. A note hangs from the fridge with a date, just over three years old, circled.
    'Family trip in three days!'

    Rustling around in the fridge I pull out everything to make a sandwich and grab a coke.
    It’s Friday, now I can’t look forward to distracting myself with work tomorrow.
    With everyone gone, the money they left behind was more then enough for me to not get a job. However I then would have more time to sulk, more time to feel the sorrow that has replaced my happiness.

    I continued my daily task of reading a novel by Stephen King. As I already read the entire Dark Tower series once, I decided to start over a few months ago. Unfortunately as much reading as I do the seven books would only last so long, and today was the end.

    "Great.. now what can I do, the eighth book doesn't come out for another week!"

    I decide to watch some T.V. It’s nothing special but it helps pass time.
    It's the middle of April so I have some baseball games to distract me from my existence.
    "HOMERUN!" The booming sounds rings through my ears.
    I look up to see the box that has been my only connection to the outside world. The images flashing across the screen reveal that the game is over.

    "Well there goes that distraction. It's nice out, might as well go outside."

    Grabbing my Ipod I set out into the outside world, while it may seem peaceful the days just aren’t the same anymore. Beauty and peace are just illusions to me. Unable to live the life I once had, with the people I once loved.

    I turn on my favorite play list and lay on the grass.
    Lonely Day by System of a Down starts playing.
    I start gazing into the sky, watching the clouds go by and the rainbow form above me.

    "A Rainbow... That's strange it hasn’t rained in days"

    Suddenly the world is enveloped in color as the rainbow gets closer and closer...

    Then Darkness descends upon my sight.

    Rememberence

    I wake up to the colors of a rainbow dominating my vision.
    Strangely the rainbow seems to be moving in the breeze, like…
    Water maybe. No its HAIR!

    Seeming to have heard me screaming in my thoughts the bundle of rainbow hair moves out of my vision.

    I look over to see what I least expected. A girl, around the age of 18, with blue wings! She’s lying on the ground next to me, with her long hair stretched unto my chest. She seems to be distracted by her own thoughts and doesn't seem to notice me on the ground next to her, or the fact that she fell on top of me a few minutes ago.

    “Twilight, when I get back I’m going to kick your…”

    She looks over to me as she realizes that I’m next to her. Her puzzled face leads me to believe that, like me, she has no clue what is happening right now.

    “Uhh… Hi?”
    “YOU CAN TALK!”
    “I CAN YELL AS WELL! What’s your point?”

    She looks at me with her face showing a mix of confusion and shock. Unable to process the fact that another being capable of advanced thought is next to her, so close and yet she didn't notice untill it said anything.

    “Well as far as I know only pony’s like me can talk”
    “You don’t look like a pony to me”

    She gives herself a good look over and realizes that she look exactly like me, without the rainbow hair and wings but none the less like me.

    "What the! What happened to me, why am I well this?"
    "You're a human, well kinda."

    Understanding that I don't know what happened to her, she decides to ignore it for now.

    “Sorry about falling on you, I’m Rainbow Dash.”
    “Don’t worry about it. How did you get manage to get that high up anyway?”

    ” Well Mister. “

    I froze up when I realized why she stopped. I could tell that she wanted to know my name but no one had called me my name in three years, not since that day... and I hope to keep it that way.

    I need a name like hers, two words that describe me. Well lets see I’m dead, emotionally anyway. No grim seems to expected. I know Blue the color of sadness.

    Ok one down, well I guess Mist would work. Small and insignificant sounds like me.

    “My name is Blue Mist”
    "Well Blue Mist, I was testing a new long distance teleportation spell when."
    "Spell? A magic spell?" I give Dash a look of pure shock and disbelief.
    "Well duhh, what else would it be."
    "That spell sure did teleport you far, there is no magic on this world. That and people don’t have wings."
    I respond pointing at her cyan blue wings.
    "WHAT! I'm in another world!" Dash's screaming rings in my ears.
    "Yea, it looks like it."
    "Well that explains why I have these things."
    Dash says wiggling her fingers in front of her face.
    "Fingers"
    "Fingers, sounds funny."
    Dash runs her new fingers in her mangled hair, then grabs a near by tree branch and twirls it.
    "They sure do make grabbing things a lot easier, hooves make it impossible to pick up small things."
    "You really were a pony before you came here?"
    "Yea, fastest flyer in Equestria!"
    "So safe to say you had those wings before?"
    "Yea. They were a lot smaller, but so was I"
    Dash seems to be distant after talking about herself. staring off into the sky.
    "What about you, big house for only one person? I think."
    With saddness in my voice "Yea, it is. Only me here now, everyone else left. Three years ago it held five people, But that all changed."
    "What do you mean? They left you?" Dash looks saddned as she speaks.
    "Yes, but it wasn't their choice. They all died three years ago."
    "Im really sorry, I shouldn't have asked."
    "It's ok, you couldn't have known."
    "I just hope I can get back, if not..."
    A purple mist starts to surround Dash, she doesn’t even have time to wonder what would happen if she got stuck here before Twilight finds her.
    "Looks like she found me, it was nice talking to you."
    "It was nice talking to you too. Come back some time?"
    "If I can, I will."
    With a loud bang and a flash of bright purple light Dash is gone. I can't help but feel a lot better after she left.
    Dash's strange, yet helpful visit brought new meaning to me and my existence. It brought my life back.
    I thought that would be the last time I ever saw Rainbow Dash, man was I wrong.
    A few minutes latter the purple mist came back, but it didn't bring Dash here, it started to surround me.
    "Dash, the connection is good you can talk to him now.'
    "Blue Mist, I won't be able to come back. it's a random world every time the spell is activated."
    "Then how can you talk to me?"
    "The connection between worlds is still there, but its fading."
    "Can you bring me to you? I have nothing left in this world."
    "Really? You would leave that world and your life their behind."
    "I died three years ago with everyone else."
    "Dash, you didn't tell me he was dead!"
    "Im not physically dead, just emotianally."
    "Ok, I will bring you to this world. I hope."
    "Wait, what do you mean I hope!"
    A Bright flash of light fills my eyes, even when I close them as hard as I can. When the light fades away I look up and see the sky again. The sky seems to be the same as the one I was looking at before the flash, did anything even happen? Then It hits me like a train, like the winds caused by a train, I was falling!

    Awakening

    “.el.o c.n yo. .ear me”

    My head feels like I just went to a concert, and sat inside the speakers! I can see Dash’s lips moving but I cant make out what she is saying. After a few minutes my head starts to quite down but I can just barley make out what is being said to me.

    “Why do I feel like I just flew out of a cannon?”
    “Well the teleportation, worked kinda.”
    “What do you mean it kinda worked?”
    “I teleported you 10,000 feet in the air”

    Twilight seems to have a strange look on her face. I’m usually able to read people, or in this case pony’s, quite well. Maybe its because she’s a pony but I don’t think so. I start to rub my temples trying to release the migraine swirling around in my head. I soon realize that something is wrong, but I cant seem to see what is.

    I look at my hands, well that used to be my hands. I see a set of hooves where my hands used to be. They are a semi-dark blue with a silver pattern along the outside. I look up too see some hair dangling over my eyes. Its also a semi-dark blue with some silver mixed in.

    “Either I hit my head really hard this morning, or I’m a freakin pony.”

    Rainbow looks at me, her wings start to expand a little but she pushes them down.

    ‘Wonder what that was, no I have bigger issues on my hand or hooves right now.’
    “Well you’re a pony, I guess since I turned into a Hum-ne in your world, you turned into a pony in ours”

    A pair of wings is resting on my back, their colors matching the rest of me. A semi-dark blue with a few silver feathers scattered around. I stretch the new muscles in my wings and they start to stretch out.

    “This is going to take some getting used to.”
    “Blue Mist can I ask you some questions about your world?” A quill and paper appear in her hooves.
    “Typical Egghead”

    We talk for a few hours about Earth. Twilight can’t seem to stop righting down everything I say. She could right a book with everything she has written down. Dash seems to slip in and out of the conversation, paying attention when stuff like airplanes and race cars come up. Her face was priceless when I said that I owned a sports car. She wished that we could have driven it around while we were on earth., and to be honest I wish I had too. I’m going to miss my ‘98 Mustang GT.

    “What happened to you back on Earth, why did you want to leave it all behind.”
    “I told you that everyone died, I’ll tell you about it someday but not today.”

    Dash seems sad to be unable to learn about my past but that quickly fades.
    ‘He just needs some time to deal with it, I did when I lost my parents. He will tell me when he’s ready.'

    Almost simultaneously all of our stomach’s agree that its time to eat. The growl’s could probably be heard for miles. None of us had eaten since early on in the day and the sun was getting ready to set within an hour.

    “Ill be right back!”

    Twilight disappears into a bright flash of light, only to reappear behind us a few seconds latter holding a picnic basket. She pulls out three sandwiches and some lemonade. We all sit down and watch the sun set together, talking a little more about Earth.

    “That was a beautiful sunset, wasn’t it”
    “It sure was Pinkie… PINKIE PIE WHEN DID YOU GET HERE!”
    “Silly Dashie I’ve been here since Twilight brought me in the basket."
    “But.. Basket small.. You big.. Never mind”

    A pink pony is bouncing around the three of us. Her mane is pink and fluffy, like cotton candy. The amount of sugger she has eaten must rival some kids on earth.

    ”Blue Mist this is Pinkie Pie, cover you ears”
    “Why would I”
    “O my gosh your new here, that means I need to throw you a party. Do you like cupcakes, what about pie or cake or punch or brownies. What about candy and muffins and.”

    Rainbow sticks her hove straight into Pinkie’s mouth, finally ending all the questions.

    “Easy Pinkie, just go plan the party for tomorrow.”
    “Okie doki loki” A pink blur zooms down the road heading into town.
    “Well Mist that was Pinkie Pie, you will get used to her eventually."
    “Give me a second I’m still trying to process all those questions.”
    “I'll see you at the party tomorrow, Blue Mist.” Twilight teleports out of sight.
    “Well since you’re a Pegasus want to crash at my place?”
    “Sure, but what does being a Pegasus have to do with it?”
    “Right not from here, only Pegasus pony’s can stand on clouds and well my house is a giant cloud.”
    “Ok makes sense, I think.”
    “Well come on slow poke!” Dash is hovering over my head, taunting me
    “Give me a second, I haven’t flown before.”

    I start to flap my wings and I hover a few feet in the air. Its such a strange feeling, just floating in the air. Getting lost in my thoughts I quickly plummet back to the ground and get a mouth full of dirt. Dash cant help but to laugh her flank off.

    ‘Dammit, gravity why must you be so mean’

    “Hahaha, need some help their Blue Dirt.”
    “Very freakin funny Dash.”
    After many failed attempts of flying, much to Dash's amusement we head off.
