Before we get too far into the rest of the story, a bit of background information about me could be helpful. I'm quite literally your average Joe… not to mention that's actually my name. I go to school, but I don't stand out in the slightest. I get slightly above average grades, and have a small and trusting group of friends.

Oh yea, before I forget, I kind of just died.

No of course this isn't the end of the story, but actually the beginning. I'd rather not go into detail at the moment of exactly what happened, but rest assured we'll get there. In the mean time I should explain a bit about my current situation…

Why am I suddenly waking up in a grassy field? Why am I suddenly a pony? The list of questions continues. Is this heaven I thought? No. It felt almost...surreal, but I sure didn't feel like I'd died.

Enough backstory, I can see a small town from here, and I wouldn't mind getting just a bit farther away from that…Forest, over there.

As I walked towards the town, I couldn't help but wonder why I recognized the buildings and area. I obviously had never been there, and for the life of me can't ever recall vacationing as a pony…or any animal at all. Along the way, a very perky pink pony crossed my path, and before I knew it she was striking up a conversation and asking many…many questions.

-Pinkie "Who are you? Ooh I should throw you a party, but I don't even know you…but I don't have to, parties are so much fun. What's your name? Why are you sleeping in the fields? I haven't slept in these fields since…"

I cut her off and asked one simple question.

-Joe "Where am I?"

She replied with the answer I expected, but nonetheless was still amazed to hear.

-Pinkie "Ponyville you silly billy, where else… and by the way I'm…"

-Joe "Pinkie Pie." I replied in a low voice.

She was obviously surprised by the fact I knew who she was, but quickly concealed the face she made with a giggle.

-Pinkie "That's right silly, so who are you…*gasp* lemme guess…Roger, TJ, Bill…"

She kept talking as I quickly took note of the situation… I was In Ponyville, possibly the most magical place in the world.

But according to everything I had known to be true…

This can't possibly be real.
