Chapter 1: A Whole New World

Payton looked out the window, it was cloudy, and she was in the house alone. Her hazel eyes widened when she saw her horse out there. She brushed her tangled brown hair, got dressed and flew out the door and into her backyard stables.

A black mare with a white star neighed happily when she saw her rider coming.

"Hiya NightMare! Wanna ride?" the mare whinnied in agreement. Payton saddled her up, and hopped on. For them it was the perfect day to escape into the woods, where they wouldn't be disturbed. A couple years back, payton had found a small clearing, and made it into her little hide out. It had a bench and a small little hut with a cot.

She enjoyed coming here, but lately with starting high school, she didn't have much time. when she had the time, Payton would come out here, and read or write. Today Payton was just coming out to relax and draw. She looked over her shoulder and at her horse. She was amazed at how such an intimidating animal, could be so graceful and so sweet.

In a perfect world

One we've never known

We would never need to face the

world alone.

Payton looked out into the forest, but instead of seeing just trees, she saw something else. She went over to it. She took out her pocket knife. It looked like a hunting post from her clearing, but as she stepped closer, it was a mirror. A mirror that was about 6 ½ feet tall! It was purple rimmed and jewel encrusted. She looked closer at it. The mirror seemed as if it was calling to her to come and look in it. Her hazel eyes were entranced. They shimmered with amazement. She took out her notebook, and started measuring the height with her hands. It was exactly fourteen hands high.

She ran back to Nightmare, hopped on, and raced towards home. By the time she got there Nightmare was already fussing, because she had to leave the patch of alfalfa she had planted. Payton un-tacked her horse, and ran into the house.

"Well someones in a hurry to get home!" her mom joked. Payton was indeed in a hurry to get home and find somthing out.

"Yeah mom, I uh..found this.." she couldn't tell her about the mirror, she would just get sent to her room!" I found a really interesting flower, and I'm going upstairs to research it! Bye!" without another word she was up in her room and in her little study under her bunk bed. She searched all night without any information on the stupid mirror.

"Ugh!" she cried. She scrolled down a couple more pages until she came across an article from England.

Mystical Mirrors To Other Worlds, she almost fell out of her seat. She couldn't believe it! This might just be the thing she was looking for! Payton read the article until she memorised just about every word of it.

"I think i deserve some hard earned rest." she said. The girl climbed into her bed above the ground. In two seconds she was out like a light.

"Payton! Wake up! Its almost 11:00! you're never in bed this late!" her mom scolded. Payton hopped out of bed, brushed her hair, got dressed and went down stairs.

"Hey mom, when is dad coming home? He is going to be here for my birthday next week right?" she asked. Lately her dad was on business, or at work.

" I don't know, but he is going to be here for your thirteenth birthday, I will tell you that. Now you need to go clean the stalls, go on hurry!" her mom assured. Payton cleaned the stalls in about half an hour, she just wanted to go and see if that mirror was really magic, she took an old sock with her to be her test subject.

When she and Midnight got there, the mirror was still there. The curious girl threw the sock at the mirror, and much to her surprise, it went in. She almost fell over in amazement, but she regained her ballance.

It was amazing! The worlds first ever magic mirror, and she would be the first person to venture into it.

"I have to tell my mom that I'm going to Juniper's house for the next two nights, i want to see where this will lead me," her horse whinnied in dissaprovement, "Yes I will leave you here with hay and some feed, and water. I'm not a bad owner!" Payton got her and her horses things together, called Juniper, and prepared herself.

"Ok, three water bottles, packet of trail mix, four apples, and a bag of gummy worms." she went over her list again, and set off.

"Bye Night, be good! Ill be back in two days!" with that she stepped into the mirror and was off on a brand new journey.

"What do you think she is?" said a ruff voice.

"Where did she come from?" asked a regal sounding voice.

" Even I don't know!" answered a middle aged mans voice.

Payton opened her eyes, and screamed. There were six multi-colored ponies, a dragon, and a mix-matched creature. She was in this like crystal palace!

"Purple ponies, and a Frankenstien!" she screamed. They all chuckeled, and the dragon was on the floor laughing. She rubbed her head, it hurt badly, she felt like she was hit by a dump truck, and then a pile of bricks fell on her.

"ugh…." she moaned.

"Oh my! I think she's hurt! Let me have a look!" cried a shy and nurturing sounding voice. The yellow pegasus who it belonged to rushed to help. She gave the newest creature an icepack for her head.

" I almost forgot!" she exclamed, "she looks like me and you guys, not including Discord, from the human world! But she doesn't have any color like her coat, or a marking on her cloths that symbolises her cutie mark."

The others nodded in understandment. The one she gussed was named Twilight looked at her.

"Tell us about yourself." she asked.

"Well, my name is Payton Stuart, I'm thirteen," she continued " I live in Jacksonville Floridia, i have a horse, and I have no idea where i am! Oh and i got here through a magical mirror i found in the woods."

All their mouths stood agape, Discord's reached the floor. They all looked at Twilight.

"Wow." was all she could say. Discord was happily wondering how Twilight's mane would taste as cotton candy, but as he was reformed, he shook it out of his mind. He rubbed his paw and claw together.

"Ok! Now that we've figured that out, how about we put you in pony form!" he grinned mischeviously. He snapped his claw and she felt shorter, and had somthing on her back and her forehead. she looked at her back.

"Wow! I got wings and a horn! Why are you staring at me like that?" she said. Discord and Twilight pulled her down a hall, and into a room about four doors down from the room she previously was in. They locked the door with multiple spells, and locks. The odd two sat her down in a chair and gave her a hard stare.

"Discord this can't be possible, there are only four ali… unless," they both looked at her with wide eyes, " Im sending a letter to Cadence now. Payton, your an alicorn, and not just any alicorn, but one that looks exactly like the daughter of the evil unicorn King Sombra."

"Yes, as much as I love a good doppel ganger," he said " you, or your twin was encased in crystal, and you look exacly like her, multi blue mane, light grey coat, and a music note with wings cutie mark."

She looked at her flank and saw the tattoo like marking on it. Her mind was racing, pony princess? Evil dad? This was just too much for her, she grabbed a history book and sat down. To many things had happened to her in the last two days. First a magic mirror in the woods, landing in a pony land, and then finding out my dad is evil, and ima pony princess.

"Ok, I promise that I'm the real (and only) me. I've never been here, and I don't see what the concern is that my dad is evil, wasn't he banashed?" the grey pony claimed.

"If your out of crystal, than…" her comment was interupted by a spark and then a scroll apeared, "Sombra's back."
