Chapter 2
(Milo's PoV)

It had been an exceedingly interesting day. I had to tell Andrew I was going to equestria! You see in the last few days I started to think of the possibility more and more. Then one day I had a message on my HUD that came with Maruth. It was from PC. At first I thought it meant the places president had never changed his computers title, bur after reading the contents I quickly realized either life was extremely cruel or PC didn't stand for personal Computer. I decided to tell this to Andrew at lunch today.

Classes went by, bruises accumulated, sparring was by far my favorite of all the classes. You could challenge people after you went through the assigned cycle and occasionally we'd hold tournaments. I was pretty high ranking, but me, Andrew, and several others were about even. I had asked Andrew to spar in the spare time. It was going fairly well, I dare say I was winning when I started feeling off. I assumed it was just a particularly nasty hit. Suddenly Andrew threw a kick at my face. The battle was over. From there I could easily parry his kick, drop him to the ground, and force a tap out. I angled my arm, got ready and- suddenly I dropped my arm. My vision was fading as his kick approached my head seemingly in slow motion.

*bang*I flew through- something and strait into a bookcase in a tree-structured library. My head felt like it had exploded, my body was stuck in a weird position, and it felt as though I had a small growth on my rear and two on my back. "Where the Hell am I?" I said as I sat up. "You're in the library mister, do you need any help?" said a female voice that somehow felt familiar. "No I think I just banged my-" I cut my sentence short as I saw the girl- or mare I was looking at. It was twilight sparkle. "Oh my you do need help you're banged up pretty bad. I'll have spike get nurse red heart right away." she continued. "I began to get up to protest her and tell her I was fine but my body refused to move more than an inch."No no that's not-uh- necessary" I said as I managed to pull myself up, "I believe I'm oka- whoa!" I shouted as I fell. "Spike get nurse red heart to bring a stretcher to she called to the dragon leaving who had managed to slip past me."Why do I need a stre-" my question was abruptly cut off as twilight hit me with an anesthetic spell. "Hmm I never asked his name." she observed as she levitated me as she walked towards the hospital.

When I awoke I saw 6 people standing over me. No wait, it was 6 ponies. The mane 6! I sat up straight as quickly as possible resulting in a mind-blowing explosion of pain I'm my head.
"AHH! Oh hey there Twi-miss library lady" I said barely catching myself, "who are your friends?" the other five cast doubtful glances at each other. "Let us introduce our selves. Ahm applejack." said Aj "Rainbow Dash" followed up Aj with little interest "you can call me Rarity, darling" said (you guessed it) rarity "twilight sparkle" said twilight confidently "the pink ones gone" I pointed out before fluttershy could attempt to introduce herself. "What?! Pinkie...don't mind pinkie pie. She's, well, pinkie pie." oh and this here is fluttershy. "Nice to meet you" said fluttershy softly. "Well nice to meet you all too" I said obsequiously. "I'm Mi- Cloud Runner" "well it's nice to meet you Cloud Runner," said twilight "but we have to go find pinkie"
"oh okay" I responded "thanks for talkin to me" "bye" "bye"

The moment they left I screamed into my pillow as loud as I could. I had just met the mane 6! Well, minus pinkie pie, but I could guess what she was up to. Well I was feeling better. Maybe I could convince the nurse to let me leave.

I had convinced the ponies at the hospital to let me borrow a wheel chair, seeing that I hadn't learnt how to walk yet. Of course I covered for this by saying I felt weak in the legs and was having trouble walking. So I wheeled myself over, out of town to a nearby forest. "Good a place as any to learn how to walk I suppose." and so, many painful hours later I had walking down pat (mainly because I got chased by dogs and ran, out of instinct) and decided since I was stuck in a tree, (dogs) I might as well try and learn to fly.

I extended my wings carefully and flapped them a few times. "Well it's now or never" I said, as I winced and jumped."I BELIEVE I CAN FLY! OH SHIT, NO I CAN'T" I quickly placed my hooves for a roll. "Oomph" I grunted as I hit the ground hard. I quickly got up as I remembered the bloodthirsty dogs that wanted not but to bite my legs off.

I ran towards ponyville as quickly as possible. 'If I could just make it up that hill' I thought to myself. I quickly redirected myself to reach the top of the hill as fast as my legs would allow. The dogs were 100 feet and closing fast. As I reached the peak of the hill my heart plummeted. It was a cliff. 'Maybe I could climb down the cliff. I can see several spots to-' my thoughts were cut short as a dog pounced pushing me forward... Off of the cliff. "OhhHHHH SHIT!" I screamed as I plummeted towards the ground at speeds of excess of 50 miles per hour. The ground was coming up fast. "Come on life, I didn't even get a chance to meet pinkie-" I cut myself off as instinct, again, took over. I extended my wings to aim toward the ground so I wouldn't break them right off the bat. Slowly I angled them up. I could feel my body starting to glide. I kept pulling up as fast as I dared, but the ground was coming up fast still. I scanned the ground for something soft to land on. "No such luck" I muttered to myself. I was going to go down in a clearing, just south of ponyville. "This is going to hurt" I said and averted my wings suddenly.*Pop*
"AHHH" I screamed as my wings dislocated and I impacted on the surface hard. I hated that I had to dislocate my wings but what I did it for was, it slowed me down at least 5 miles per hour, also it made my wings limp preventing further damage from being done.
I woke up 3 minutes after impact, severely dazed. "Man that hurt." I grumbled as I picked myself up. "Shoot. I've gotta relocate my wings. This is gonna hurt" I said as I picked up a small stick and put it into my mouth. *Pop* "mphhh!" *Pop* "mmmphhh!" I spit out the stick and experimentally flapped my wings. It was too late to get back to ponyville and I didn't want to be caught in the forest I now recognized as the everfree, so I quickly built a lean-to and sharpened a stick with a rock. "I'm gonna need a knife soon." I said as I drifted off to sleep, one eye always remaining open.
