I slammed my basement door shut as I ran down the stairs and over to my dimensional teleporter. I checked it over, making sure all
the wires were connected to the machine. I had been waiting for this day for weeks, and it was finally here. I doubted I was ready for it, but it
was worth a shot! I've been installing software into this teleporter for a long while, and I got it done just a few days ago. I had heard from
Sonic about this place called 'Equestria,' and from what he told me, it sounded awesome! I pulled a keyboard from the side of the teleporter
as a screen lit up. It read 'Type the area in wish you want to go to.' I typed in Equestria, and before I knew it, the keyboard went back in, the
screen faded, and a picture of a small farm, in front of it was a sign with a picture of an apple on it. It didn't look anything like Sonic had
said, but I jumped on through anyway. I appeared in front of an apple tree. I stood up, dusted my self off, and looked around the farm. I saw
a barn in the distance, the door slightly open. I slowly approached the barn, keeping as quiet as I could, not trying to bump into any trees. I
saw an orange pony step out, and I immediatly jumped and hid behind a tree. I heard some leaves rustle, and I decided to check what made
the leaves rustle. The orange pony was hitting the trees with her hind hooves, making the apples fall. I wanted to get a closer look,
so I jumped to other trees, hiding behind them so she didn't see me. I got just a mere few feet away from her before she called out, "Hey!
Anypony there?" I jumped a bit when I heard her say that. She yelled again, "Ah mean it! If yer there, show yerself!" I held my breath as I
jumped to two other trees. I was just about 6 inches away when she kicked the tree I was leaning against. An apple conked me on the head.
I yelped, and next thing I knew, I was out cold. When I came to, I tried to get up, but I couldn't, I was tied up! I struggled to get me out of the
ropes that held me in a chair. I guess she heard me, tied me up, and tossed me into the barn. I tried to yell, but I had a piece of tape over my
mouth. I remembered I had a ring with me when I came here, but it was on the other side of the barn now, where I couldn't reach it. Or, at
least, I thought I couldn't. I struggled a bit, and pushed to the side. The chair stood up on its legs. I chuckled as I scooted over to the low
shelf in the barn, where my ring was. The tape on my mouth was just scotch tape, so I used my tongue to get it off. I grabbed the ring with
my mouth and pulled it down. I sliced the rope with the ring and the ropes fell off of me and onto the barn floor. I got up and creeped to the
barn door and peeked out. The orange pony wasn't out there, so I was safe to go. I rushed out to the field. I heard someone call from behind,
"Hey! Yer the thing mah sis tied up earlier!" I turned around and looked down. It was a yellow filly. "Huh? That orange pony was your... sister?"
The filly glared at me. "Yeah! You got a problem with that?" I chuckled. "Look, kid, I gotta go." I turned around and started walking off again.
"Oh, no ya don't!" I heard the orange pony call. I groaned, flipping around. "What is it now?!" I yelled to them. "What exactly ARE you?" She
called to me. "That's a funny joke. Really, I gotta go." She came a step closer. "Ah was bein' serious." I sighed. "Alright, if you really dunno,
I guess I've gotta tell you. I'm a hedgehog." She raised an eyebrow. "Really?" I nodded. She walked, er, trotted, over to me. "Well, if yer serious,
Ah've got a friend who's great with animals!" "You're telling me this without even telling me your name?" She chuckled. "Oh, yeah, Ah forgot!
Ah'm Applejack! You are..?" "Perky!" "That's, uh, quite an odd name." "No time for chit-chat. Now, who's this friend of yours who's good with
animals?" I asked her. She must've forgotten what she wanted to say again. "Oh, yeah! Her name is Fluttershy! She lives in a cottage right
outside the Everfree Forest!" I looked around. "Forest? Uh, and where is that?" She pointed her hoof to what looked like woods, not near looking like any kind of forest." She put her hoof down. "Before anything else, Ah wanna introduce ya to mah other friends!" I nodded.
"Sure!" "Follow me!" She walked in the direction of a small town. I followed after her.
