Continuing down the path I became less and less sure about my theory. I know there were different interpretations of hell, but this was too… too happy. Curiously I felt I had seen this place before. Knowing that where ever this path led would give me the answers I so desperately needed. I quickened my pace to a light jog, after all, there’s no need to rush when you’re dead.

After what felt like days, I finally spotted structures on the horizon, whether this was good or not, was all that was pounding throughout my brain as I pressed on into the unknown. Day was setting as I finally reached the outskirts of what appeared to be a town, albeit multicolored. Noticing what looked like a farm I decided it would be nice to get something to eat, and to get some shut eye. As I walked into the seemingly endless apple orchard, I got the strangest feeling of Déjà vu, It felt almost as if………. Nah that’s even crazier then idea that this is hell. Reaching up I picked a ripe red apple. Taking a bite I reeled, it was….. was…. what’s the word? Oh juicy! It tasted as if I were eating the apple picked from the tree of a god. Finding both my hunger satisfied and my thirst quenched, I lay down underneath a shady apple tree. Watching on as the sun slowly set I could of sworn I saw a twinkle ahead of it, almost as if it were being guided. As the full moon rose I gave into my drowsiness and closed my eyes. Everything quickly went black as I fell asleep like a rock.

“What are we a goin’ to do today!”

“Get our cutie marks!” the three fillies shouted in unison “CutieMark Crusaders charge!” Running through the apple trees, the three fillies Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Bell, were determined to obtain their cutie marks, by finding what they truly special at. Applebloom, who had run ahead, had a yellow coat, with a colorful light red mane; she also always wore her lucky ribbon tied in a bow, which matched her mane. Scootaloo the orange pegasus ran beside Applebloom, the wind blew threw her short purple mane as she kept up. Sweetie Bell, however was casually strolling far behind the two eccentric fillies. Her white coat complemented by her well groomed pink/purple mane. Strolling behind her friends she was taking in what a beautiful day it was, the birds were chirping, the sun beamed through the leaves casting oceans of small shadows. It was then that she noticed something…strange under the shade of a large apple tree. She was shocked by the large “creatures” appearance. It had four legs, however with weird stick like limbs at the ends, it was clothed in alien designs that gave off an aura of discomfort, it also had no tail she could see and a very short brown mane upon the top of what appeared to be its head. It seemed to be asleep, making odd sounds, eyes closed.

Sweetie Bell did what any young filly would have done. She ran as fast she could to go and catch up with her friends, she had to warn them, and get help. Breaking into a clearing she ran right into an argument over who had made it to their clubhouse first.

“I did not cheat; you simply tripped on a rock.”

“Oh yeah then why was the “rock” attached to you and orange!”

The two fillies glared at each other, only to break out in a fit of laughter, Pinkie Pie would have been proud. Noticing Sweetie they stopped, and gazed at the shaking filly. “Are ya alright?” Applebloom asked concerned. Catching her breath Sweetie Bell described what she had seen in the orchard, causing puzzled faces all around.

“Are you sure?” Scoot asked in disbelief.

“Why would I lie?” Sweetie responded rolling her eyes. “We should go tell your sister Apple, it could be dangerous.”

“But, what if it’s our ah talent to tame monsters?” Apple asked concerned. She was met with stares of disbelief “What?”

“Cmon let’s hurry, who knows what that thing could be!” and with that they ran off to tell Applejack.

Ten minutes later six ponies were slowly following the young fillies.

“Now what in tarnation is all this monster bus’ness Applebloom?” Asked Applejack, an orange pony with a blond mane tied into ponytails (god that’s an awful pun) topped with a hat that could’ve been taken right out of a movie with John Wayne. The white freckles on her face did much to make her green eyes stand out. Her Cutie mark was three red apples, similar to most of her relatives.

“Well Sweetie Bell said she saw some “thing” in the orchard.”

“Maybe it’s a friendly monster! Then we could throw it a party with lots of his monster friends, it...it would be a Monster Mash!” Pinkie Pie shouted in her usual fashion, her blue eyes twinkling. The eccentric pure pink pony had always loved parties, thus her cutie mark represented three balloons.

“That sounds completely impossible; I don’t think a ‘monster’ would know what a party was.” Twilight stated “Besides I doubt that it would even want to attend one.” Her intelligent scowl did little to hide her interest. Although she, like many Unicorns, was adept at magic, her interest and studies were far more progressed, to the point that her cutie mark represented magic. The huge amount of various spells, history, and myths just made here want to ‘squee’. Her Purple and pink mane waved over her matching purple coat, her purple eyes twinkled with curiosity.

“It’s not dangerous is it?” Fluttershy asked silently. She was a light yellow pegasus with a pink mane, some of which was currently covering part of her face. Behind it you could just make out her cyan eyes. She was the shyest of the group, due to her fear of almost everything. She however had a thing for animals, a quality that made them trust her as she took care of them, represented by the three pink butterflies on her flank.

“Calm down I am sure there’s nothing to worry about, after all my darling sister came to us alright.” Rarity comforted Fluttershy. The stylish white unicorn kept her purple mane well groomed constantly; her matching purple eyes sparkled, like the three blue gemstones that made up her cutie mark.

“Besides, if it puts up a fight I’ll know it to somewhere nopony will ever find it!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed. The tomboyish blue pegasus was floating feet above the rest of the group. Her rainbow mane hanging down ever so slightly accentuating her rainbow lightning cutie mark; looking down with her maroon eyes, she noticed more that her friends were looking at her with annoyed. “What?” she questioned clueless.

“Just up ahead, is where I saw it!” Sweetie Bell exclaimed. The group sped up, upon coming around a corner of particularly close apple trees, they gasped in unison. Sitting under the tree was the creature Sweetie had described; it had shifted its position only slightly, but still appeared to be asleep.  

“Wha-a-at is it” Fluttershy stuttered quietly while hiding behind twilight, whose mouth was still wide open.

“It looks like an ape of some sorts, but those are only supposed to be in the far south, near dragon country.” Twilight reasoned with herself “But what is it doing here?”

Slowly approaching the creature they started discussing what they would do about this ‘thing’.

I heard voices, screaming and shouting. The cries of a heartbroken women the anger of her husband, slowly began to fade as I slowly stirred from what I had intended to be a quick nap, turned deep sleep. Slowly sitting up I rubbed my eyes and waited as they adjusted to the light of dusk. That was one hell of a dream, I thought I had recognized some of those voices, but as I probed my memories I found little left on what had been so real ‘What does this mean?’. I was snapped back into reality as I heard a rustling and short breaths, I slowly turned my eyes and was startled when they landed on all too familiar faces. “What the hell?” I whispered to no one in particular. Staring back were the fictional characters of what had been an entertaining (if not embarrassing) show. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Noticing the expressions the terrified ponies wore, I contemplated what to do. It’s not as if I had a plan for when I mysteriously ended up in a young girl’s cartoon. One thing was certain though; this was definitely not hell, not yet.

Ooh cliffhangers, gotta love em *sarcasm*. I’m sorry I tried to create a much longer chapter, but it seems I lack the focus and drive to write a 10k word chapter. In the end, I figure having a weekly chapter is much better then having to wait a month for a huge chapter. Abet I would love to be able to write that much, but school and the normal excuses always are there to stop me. Also a damn good story which I would highly recommend reading has stolen a lot of my free time, Stasis is a good read and a refreshingly well written story which, has a rich background of characters and an interesting plot, just read it. I would appreciate any corrections or ideas of which would help immensely, feel free to criticize, but don’t go crazy on the insults, I can only Tolerate and Love so much, before I start assaulting with cake. One more thing is I’m adding a random quote at the end of each chapter from now on. Thanks for reading and peace.
