Finding Ponyville

As the sun shone through the leaves of the tree, i opened my eyes and saw the most beautiful sight. The hills and natural beauty was much nicer then that of Earth. The sun had only just come up and i saw something in the distance. A large mountain, no a mountain range. I began to fly towards it at rocketing speed. I was still tired so my wings began to freeze up every now and then, leaving me to the hands of gravity. "I guess i should strech first" I said out loud, followed by a loud yawn. As i grew closer i began to see Canterlot, capital city of Equastria. The few episodes of my little pony had taught me something at least. As i got closer i felt something holding me down

"HALT!"  A royal guard with white fur began.

"This is royal airspace! Where is your permit?"

I began to sweat. Permit? What permit? This was never in the show and i began to feel my wings fail me as i fell straight towards the ground. It took minutes to realise what had happened. The royal guard had grabbed me by the hoof using his magic to pull me. My back was starting to hurt as i realised we were going over a quarry.

"Do you really have to pull me over the quarry? My wings will lose feathers."

"Shouldnt have been flying near here then, mate". He said in an almost sarcastic, but harsh way. "Whats your name anyway?"

"Stormcloud"

"Howcome you havent been in any of those fancy races? Your definately good enough. It was tricky catching you with my magic."

"Im new here. I came from far away. Thats why i didnt know this law." I said. I hoped it was good enough, and i hoped they didnt have a spell to check if i was telling the truth. But he shone his horn at me and i felt like all my thoughts were being read at once.

"A human ah? Been a while since ine of you have been here. Last one almost killed someone. He wasnt careful with his unicorn powers. Like you could have killed someone if you had flown straight at the city. Still i understand you didnt know so you only get a minor punishment."

"Oh yeah? Whats that?"

"A meeting with the princess herself."This was amazing! All i had to do was explain what had happened and i could go home! I didnt see how this was a punishment in any way but i went along with it. As we talked on the way i found out his name was Star stopper and he had been a guard for 3 and a half years. As we talked time felt slower as every word processed in my brain one by one. Afterall a pony in armour was speaking to me about what he had for dinner last night.

When we reached the entrance to Canterlot tower i began to tremble. I was going tot meet the ruler of this land! How should i act? Should i bow? Say hi? I was confused. I looked up at the 50 sets of stairs as i let out a heavy groan. I couldnt fly up and leave Star Stopper alone. It would take him an age to get up and he would be bored without an exciting pony like me to talk to. It felt quick as we walked up. Too quick. We reached the entrance of Princess Celestia's chamber and Star stopper knocked."Who's there?"

"A human. By the name of Thunderstorm."

"Come in, and quickly."

As Star ushered me into the room the princess looked at me with a worried look on her face. I wondered what was wrong, but decided it would be best if i stayed silent. I heard the door slam and realised star was no longer with us.

"So your a human? And i guess you came here in a portal that would have devoured your planet?"

"Y..Ye...Yes your Maj..Esty" i said, realising how scared i was. The ruler of all of Equastria and the most powerful mare in this world was in front of me, with a scared look on her face.

"And you fell in? Or did you go in? Actually nevermind, I can tell by your cutie mark. You do know what a cutie mark is? And how this world works?"

"Yes your Maje..sty"

"Yes will do for now, Thunderstorm."

"Yes your Maj... I mean Yes."

"Good. Now tell me everything that has happened so far, and the day with the portal."

As i explained everything that happened, she seemed releived and better. I wasnt sure why, but i kept on explaining.

"So, is there a way for me to get home?"

"Yes, but you cannot leave yet. When the next portal arrives here to destroy this world, then you can leave by going through it."

I suddenly felt like my stomach dropped into my hooves and up again. I felt ill and dizzy as i heard this news. How long would this take? I just wanted to go home! I just hoped it wouldnt be too long. The princess noticed my face and realised i was upset.

"Dont worry Storm, you will return. If you do not go through that portal then this world and your world will be gone forever."

And with that news i said one thing.

"Take me to ponyville and let m..." I fainted from pure shock, leaving a Princess alone in a room, not sure what she was ment to do.

When i finally awoke i realised i was being carried by none other than star. He realised i was awake and shook me off and i fell to the floor. I realised this wasnt grass, but a gravel road leading possibly to ponyville. I saw that something fell infront of me.

"Princess said to leave you when you woke up. She gave you that. Also just follow this road to get to ponyville."

As i saw star teleport away, i began the long fly to ponyville. The bag in my mouth swaying back and forth, the contents making a rattling noise as money does in your pocket. I though it must have been money, but as i was unsure as to how much was what and how much i could buy with it i began to wonder. Then i saw Ponyville appear in the skyline. Even though it didnt have tall buildings, the ground was pretty flat from my side. I began to fly faster until i could make out the seperate buildings, then the colours, then finally the ponies. It was much bigger than i thought. I flew to the only place i knew were i could get a fair judge of how much money i had in my bag, so i flew towards were i thought sweet apple acres was. And bucking trees was a familier orange pony with a cowboy hat. Next Chapter: Fitting in Estimated time remaining: 5 Minutes
