Finally, it's done! My first chapter of my first fanfic! Enjoy!
I remember the day well. I was in my room, about to jump into a portal to Dream Land.
Actually, before I go on, I should probably describe myself. I have slightly tanned skin; not quite peach, but not quite tan either; brown hair that goes down to my shoulders, and hazel eyes that are more brown than green, like a swampy color. I also had my favorite hat on; a light pink baseball cap.
Anyway, I should get back to the story.
I was about to jump into a portal to Dream Land. "I hope the gang doesn't me too much," I thought. With that in mind, I leaped into the portal. I felt myself speeding through the cosmos. I saw flashing colors like a Star Wars hyper-speed scene, though something didn't seem right. I couldn't put my finger on it. "Maybe the portal machine has a bug," I thought. "I'll take a look at it when I land."
My portal machine is the machine I use to travel through worlds, like the Portal Gun from Portal. Instead of a gun, though, it's a box. I type where I want to go; a portal appears, and I jump into it. The best part though is that it's portable!
Finally, I felt myself slowing down, but then, I started to... fall. "That wasn't supposed to happen!" I yelled. I fell, slammed into a couple branches along the way, and landed with a THUD! I fainted.
The first thing I did when I came to was to look around. I had landed in a dark forest. I couldn't see the sun, but I could see the trees. They didn't look friendly. "This definitely isn't Whispy Wood," I whispered to myself. "I've got to get out of here."
The next thing I tried to do and failed was to stand up and walk. For some reason, every time I stood on two legs, I just flopped back to the ground. Flop, flop, flop. After the fifth flop, I said, "I think I have to stand on all fours." Doing that was a lot more comfortable, surprisingly. After some trial and error, I taught myself how to walk. I raced around the place where I landed, showing off my skill to no one in particular.
Then I heard a snarl. It was deep, threatening and a big reality check. It made me remember that I was in a dark forest with no way of knowing where to go. The fear set itself in stone.
"H-h-hello?" I said weakly. "Anyone there?" Then, I saw three pairs of luminescent, lime-green eyes. I gulped. Then, I saw the eyes were attached to wolves, but they weren't normal. They were made entirely out of wood. One of the wolves snapped at me, so I jumped back. "These things have bark and bite!" I thought. I started to back up, since the wolves were getting closer.
Then, I bumped into a tree. There was nowhere left to run. The wolves were almost upon me. "This is it," I thought.
Then, something unexpected happened. The wolves looked shocked; scared, even. They started to back up from me, then they ran off into the forest. I was completely dumbfounded. "What?" was all I could say.
I heard a whoosh, so I looked up. A rainbow was flying incredibly fast around my head. "Wait, what?" I said, a little too loudly. The rainbow then landed. The rainbow turned out to be a pony. The pony had a light-blue coat and wings, dark pink eyes, and a rainbow- colored mane and tail. It walked up to me.
"Haven't you seen me flying around before?" it asked me. If the wooden wolves didn't confuse me before, this pony had me absolutely flabbergasted. So many questions circled around my head. It took all of my power to keep a plain face and shake my head. "Oh," the rainbow pony said. It blushed and looked embarrassed. "Sorry. I should introduce myself. I'm Rainbow Dash, the fastest pony in all of Equestria!" To prove it, she started to fly in a circle, making a mini vortex with her speed alone.
I just sat there watching Rainbow Dash and thinking to myself, "Equestria? Does that mean I've been-" I didn't notice Rainbow Dash stop.
"So, what's your name?" she asked me, poking her hoof into my stomach. The question snapped me out of my thought cloud.
"Uh, Clare."
"Well, put 'er there, Clare!" Rainbow Dash put out her hoof in a friendly way. I nodded and shook her hoof... with another hoof. I gulped.
"Do you have a mirror, Rainbow Dash?" I asked, trying not to sound terrified.
"Uh, there's a puddle over-" I dashed over to the puddle. It was murky, but I could see myself clear as day. Staring back at me was a yellow-coated, brown-maned, cerulean eyed, winged, light pink cap wearing pony.
Yay, cliffhangers!
