Going up.

"Come on Kyle, don't be a wimp! Just do it! Pull the damn trigger!" Kyle's life has been nothing but shit. He never had a girlfriend, in all of school, he was bullied, and after college, nobody talks or cares he's even there. He's had a harsh life. When he was 8, he almost fell off a building during a field trip and only the teachers where scared to death. Some kids said nothing. Some, under there breath said, 'Darn it. If only the teacher didn't get to him in time'. One kid cheered when he was starting to look like he was loosing his grip on the edge.

No body cared at all. So, he's emo, suicidal, and lonely. And now, he's going to be lonely until the end of time when heaven is gone. If it even will be able to be destroyed in the future, but that's highly doubted. So, after much though, he decided to tighten his grip on the trigger. He only heard the first millisecond sound it makes when the gun is fired. After that, black. Nothing but black.

"Finally, I ended my shitty self. time to be hated no more," said Kyle, thinking out loud. Then, as he feels himself floating up, he sighs in relieve.

"Good. I'm not going down. Why would I think that, anyway?" said Kyle. Then, he sees a pearl gate in the clouds, then he see's an angel waiting at the door, but this angel has a very displeased look.

"Your not supposed to be here for another 60 years, Kyle. Why here so soon?" asked the angle.

"Oh, don't play dumb. You know why. You know everything when your up here," Kyle shot back.

"True, but still, you were not really supposed to do that," said the angel.

"Eh, so what. Better here now then wait another 60 years in that place I call home, or, called home," said Kyle.

"Actually, there is one thing I can do to have you change your mind. I could give you a second chance," A second chance? Reincarnation?

"You mean like reincarnation?"

"No, I mean try again in a different world. Your dead, so you cant be there again. So, a new world for you. Your gonna have to change your form though," said the angel. Then, he waved his hand over Kyle, and he felt his body change shape. An obvious notice was he was becoming shorter.

"What, I'm gonna be a kid again?" asked Kyle.

"No, that is the tallest size for where your going," then, he felt him have hair grow all over, but short, and in a color.

"What the? Why am I grey?" Asked Kyle.

"You'll see soon enough," then, he felt a pain in his head.

"Ow! Head ache!" Then, he felt something long grow where his tailbone is.

"I'm guessing I now have a tail?" asked Kyle. The angel nodded.

"Great, I'm going to be a monkey. Thanks." then, he felt his hands melt and turn flat.

"O.k, not monkey. Tiny horse?" asked Kyle.

"Its called a pony," said the angle. Then, he say his hair was changing red.

"Nice choice of colors. Now I look like I'm emo," said Kyle.

"You already are, smart one," said the angle. "Done. Now, time to try again, Kyle. I hope I don't see you until it's time, Kyle," said the angle.

"Yeah, whatever," Then, he see's he's falling of a cloud. But, when he falls through it, instead of a three dimentional world, he's in a pastel world.

"What the buck? Wait... why did I just say buck instead of- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! Nonononono! Falling! Falling! Falling!" Screamed Kyle. He cant stop himself, so this is going to be an automatic death. He didn't even get to be here for a solid minute. The angel should have thought about that.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And then she said, ' I don't want to have this giant muffin go bye-bye.' Then I said, 'Its a cloud, Ditzy. That's not a muffin.' Then she said, huh? Whats that?" said Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy looks at Dash, confused.

"I don't get it. Do you mean she doesn't know what a cloud is or-" No, I mean look!" Said Dash, as she moves Fluttershy's head to see what she's talking about. She squints, but then see's what it is. A pony? Well, if its in the air, it can fly. But, it wasn't. This was worrying Fluttershy.

"Ahh! That's not good! That pony is falling! We have to save him!" Screamed Fluttershy as she zoomed towards the falling pony.

"Uhhh... wait. Huh? Oh, yeah!" Rainbow Dash was a bit surprised she flew to it quick. She followed, and saw this pony was falling. This pony couldn't even fly! How did a Unicorn get in the air?! These thoughts where going through her head, but she didn't have time to stop. She had a pony to save!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Crap, crap, crap, crap, crap! Uhhh... float! Uhh... halt! Ohh... I hope I have a soft landing!" Said a worried to death Kyle! Then, he fells he something take hold of his, what he thinks are upper, legs? He looks up, and see's a yellow winged pony. Then, he see's a cyan one with a Rainbow mane. "What the buck is going on?" thought Kyle. Then, he thought, "Why do I keep saying buck?" What was weird to the two ponies is right when he looked at them, he was getting woozy, then fainted. Time for the hospital.

On the ground, again

"Wait, he what?!" said Twilight. After they found the strange pony that was falling, they took him to the closest place that they knew some-pony was home. Twilight's house. She always is. When they got to her house, they told her about what happened. A unicorn in the sky, strange how he even got up there, and all the other things, like him fainting when he saw Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.

"Well... this is strange. A unicorn that somehow was in the sky... interesting..." said Twilight.

"So, uh, why would he faint at seeing us? Its not like its his first time. Right?" asked Rainbow.

"Well, maybe where he comes from, there are no pegasi, and freaked out at seeing you two. Its happened before. you remember that new pony last year from Trottingham? Never seen a unicorn. This is no different," said Twilight.

"O.k, so he must be from somewhere where the are no pegasi. But he should still at least KNOW about us, right?" said Rainbow.

"Well, considering from your story, its no doubt he never seen a real one, and was overwhelmed at seeing you. Like I said, its happened before," said Twilight.

"Ugh... what happened?" said the mysterious pony.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle was just in the middle of a really cool dream, but unfortunately for him, he woke up from a voice.

"Ugh... what happened?" said Kyle, thinking out loud. Then, he see's the three ponies.

"God, I hope this is a dream. If it isn't, then I must have had a lot of vodca, because I see 2 little winged horses and one with a horn. Jeez, this is weird..." when he said that, one of the pony things cocked her head in confusion.

"Who are you talking too?" asked the Unicorn.

"Holy shit! You just talked? Wait.... wait.... I get it now, I'm dreaming. I'll just hit myself to wake me up," when he did, he felt it, but didn't wake up.

"Ho...ly...shit. I am awake, so this is real... o.k then... this is really fucked up," Then the unicorn walked up to him.

"Sir, do you know how you happened to be in the sky?" asked the unicorn.

"Whats it to you? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to get out of here and find a bar to get this pastel world through my system... My brain isn't... gonna let me understand.... this..... place," Kyle said in an accent of a delusional person.

"Oh no... your not going anywhere, Mr. Don't-give-a-buck!" said the cyan, Rainbow maned winged pony, as she plowed right into him, keeping him from going on a rampage, because of what he said.

"Buck? What are you, Canadian?" said Kyle, confused about the way she cursed.

"Rainbow Dash! Why did you do that?" yelled the unicorn. Kyle guessed that the pegasus on him was Rainbow Dash.

"Twilight, you heard what he said. This unicorn is crazy!" Kyle then guessed the unicorn is Twilight. Very strange names. He then guessed because of him looking like them, because a mirror is next to him, he should think of a ridiculous name, too. He thought 'Lets see... Red hair, grey body color, huh, my eyes are now purple. Red can sometimes be gloomy, and the grey is the color of night. Gloomy Night should be my name, then,"

"Going to a bar makes him crazy, Rainbow Dash? Really? You need to be on the ground more often," said Twilight, the unicorn. You tell her, lady. Let me leave.

"Ugh... fine," said the Rainbow Pegasus. Then as she got up, she held her hoof out to help Kyle up.

"Here. Can't lay there all day. Heh, sorry I did that. Names Rainbow Dash. Fastest pegasis in all of Equestria," Kyle just nodded, having NO idea what she's saying about this so called, 'equestria'.

"And I'm Twilight Sparkle. Whats your name?" Kyle just forgot what he desided his name was gonna be in this random place for about 3 seconds, until he remembered.

"Gloomy Night. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm leaving..." and out the door he goes. The last thing he hears before leaving is the pegasus, who didn't say a word, whisper, 'that was a bit rude.' Now, its time to explore. First, he see's there are nothing but cartoon looking things, and nothing three dimentional. This annoyed his brain, trying to adjust to the new vision. As he was walking, because of his brain being annoyed, he got alot of headaches. The next thing he noticed is, ponies here all have a picture on them. A tatoo? No, nothing electronic is seen in the stores. Birthmark? No, they can't be in multiple colors. Then, as he was still thinking, he ran into a pony who for some reason smelled of cotton candy.

"Hi there! Oh, I've never seen you before! You must be new, or I just never noticed you! Either way, I'm throwing you a welcome party! My name is Pinkie Pie! Whats yours?" said the hyper pony. This got Kyle's head spinning very fast. So many things she said in so little time. He only caught the question, 'whats your name'.

"Uhhh.... Gloomy Night. Now, I think you doing.... whatever you said, is cool and all, but for now, I just want to be left alone," said Kyle. Then he saw the mane get flat and darker.

"Oh... ok, then. Just trying to make you feel welcome," said Pinkie Pie. Welcome? Thats a first. Scince when did someone want to make him feel happy? When she saw the huge eyes start to watter, this made him change his mind.

"Hey, hey, dont cry. *sigh* Fine... you can do.... that thing you said," after Kyle said this, Pinkie's hair when back to normal, puffyness and smelling of cotton candy. "Eeeeee! Good! I'll start on it now!" What is she starting? Whatever it is, it must be something she REALY wants to do it, if she cries being told 'no'. Well, back to looking around. The next ting he saw, was a big castle far away in the side of a mountain. How it even STAYED on it without falling because of gravity isenought to make his headache worse.

The next thing he saw in the distance was a tree farm. "At least they dont eat the ground, like the horses I know about," said Kyle, thinking outloud.

"Why the hay would we all, eat te'h ground?" said a voice in a waster accent. Kyle heard the voice and turned around, to find an orange pony with a brown stetson on. "We dont do things like them thar fru fruey ponies, but we are not THAT uncivil. Hay, in mah book, this is normal. Names Applejack owner of Sweet Apple Acres, yonder there," she said as she pointed at the farm. Apple tree's, huh? How they can even plant things with the little hooves, let alone harves them, was making the already worse headache, evn more bad, and caused him to pass out. "Oh, ponyfeathers, whats going on with you? I better help ya," she said as she put him on her back, and walked to the farm.
