When one must save the world

It was turning night again. The winter days were always dark and depressing. You always wished for sunlight and a break from the icy cold grip of winter, but it never came. The spring wasnt much better. The cold was still around and your bones began to freeze and snap under the pressure of standing. Having to still go to work didnt make things much better. I got up every morning to the usual sound of the alarm clock, got dressed, ate and went out the door to work. Nowone ever noticed me at work. I had a few friends who were in the city but didnt work were i did. We had parties and film nights and acted like children. We had all got caught up in the 'My Little Pony' craze that passed by. It took a while before we actually realized we had watched 5 episodes and were able to tell each other it was good. I was brave and said out loud 'I LOVE PONIES'. That ended with everyones heavy secrets being lifted, and reliving the pain.

Something felt weird today though. I felt warmer and not as cold as usual. As i walked i saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was black, swirling around, like a black hole. As i watched it, it grew and grew until it was my height. I dont know what i saw inside but it looked green, peaceful and definately not Earth. It was too clean. Im still not sure what mad instinct made me do it but i put my foot in it. I felt like time slowed down until it felt frozen and that i was the only thing moving. Then it happened. Almost impossibly quick the hole got smaller and smaller until i barely fit through. I took my foot out and the hole slowly grew and grew again and time began to resume. I realized what i had to do. To save my friends, my country, no the world. I had to go through.

I jumped in and again time slowed down, but i didnt get to see wether it got smaller. All i know is that time slowed down and i was pulled in. I closed my eyes, scared of what i would see. When i was finally brave enough to open my eyes i saw nothing. It was all black with tiny stars. It was space, and i was in the middle of it. But i saw a light, a different light in front of me. Much like the portal i went in, except brighter and it pulled me out, not in. I suddenly felt dizzy, and felt light-headed. My body felt numb as i was thrown into a world of darkness and of hate. Or was it death? No, it felt warm and comforting. And i liked it.

When i opened my eyes again i saw blue. Blue with white sploges. I was looking at the sky on a beatiful summers day. Summer? That cant be right. It was winter when i left. I got up onto my feet and fell over, as if i had two left feet. Then i saw. Hooves, white hooves followed by white fur and a white and black mane. It flowed much like rainbow dashes with the same untideness, but with a hint of sharpness, and brash. I looked behind and saw a tail, much like rainbow dashes but again with a feeling of brashness and bravery. I also saw two white wings, folded neatly to my sides. I gave them a quick flap and flew.

"Hah! First time too!" I said. The feeling of flight was amazing.Then reality hit me. I was a pony. A PONY. I knew a normal person would scream and cry until he was hoarse (Bad pun) but i was no were near normal. I was still human though. Or i used to be. I realized that i might have a cutie mark and suddenly got excited at the consept of seeing my special skill. It was strange. A hand surrounding a planet that looked much like Earth. I didnt want to be cocky, but i knew it was true. My special talent was saving the world. Even though i had only done it once.

I thought to try to fly even faster and harder, knowing that this would be my one true chance to fly. Being human is great in its own aspects, but being a pegasus was even better. I flew as high up as my lungs would let me, and then flew straight down, spinning on the way. I knew i was nowere near fast enough to do a sonic rainboom, but atleast i could be fast. I saw a storm cloud directly ahead as i rushed through it, leaving nothing but steam in my wake. "Stormcloud. Thats a nice name. Thats not out of place and its awesome!"

The adreniline raced through me, making me feel high. When the ground started to appear i tucked my wings in, knowing this was dangerous and stupid. When i was a mere 10 feet from the ground, i stuck my wings out and flew on vertically, turning at a 90 degree angle. I finally stopped to an immediate halt and almost collapsed right there and then. Flying felt great, but i soon got tired, and as the moon came into the sky i fell asleep under a big green tree that i flew to.

As Princess Luna's night began to take me over, i felt at peace and calm. I wondered what would happen at home. Did i stop the portal? How would i get back? Was i stuck here? How will i fit in? As a thousand questions raced around my head i though out loud, "Tomorrow i will find a way back. I may feel better here, but its not my home and it never will be. Lets just make do with what we have." With that thought Sam fell into a deep sleep in a new world, alone in the dark.
