I awoke slowly, and I stretched my limbs. I yawned, still tired. Drool was leaking from my mouth, and I wiped it off.

"Gosh, I was out cold. What time did I go to sleep?" I asked myself as I looked back to the clock. It was nine o'clock. Dang. Why would I feel so tired?

"We're here, miss Mystic," A handsome colt said as he opened my door. His brilliant blue eyes were dazzling and matched well with his baby blue mane and silver coat. He put his hoof out with a brilliant smile on his face.

"Oh my," I giggled and felt heat rush into my face. I put my hoof to his, and he helped me up. I couldn't believe this handsome, young, attractive colt was actually talking to me. Wait. How did he know my name? I wasn't informed of such a pony meeting me here.

"What's wrong? You seem troubled, miss Mystic," He said as he drew closer to me. I took a step back and nodded my head.

"I'm...I'm sorry, I have to go," I said as I walked past him. I used my magic to lift the book, and I was able to make it to the door to leave.

"Don't try and stop us. Trust me. We have many, many plans for you,"

"What do you mean?" I said as I looked back. But when I did, he was gone. I shrugged and rolled my eyes. What an insanely weird guy. What was he going on about? And why would I trust a stranger?

"Welcome to Ponyville!" A loud mare's voice called out. I looked left and right, but there was no one around. I felt something tap my left side, so I looked right instead. I yelled as a burst of confetti burst at me. It got stuck in my mane and coat.

"W-what is this? What kind of sick joke is this?" I asked angrily as I shook off the confetti. A pink pony with a poofy pink mane appeared from behind the confetti cannon.

"It's not a joke silly. It's your welcoming party!"

"W-welcoming party? But I don't even know you," I felt a pain rush through my head. The image of this same pony rushed through my head. She was one of the six that would lose belief in friendship. She was the same one from my dream. That meant the five others would be in this town. Is this why Luna sent me here? Was this a lesson, or a mission? Did she want me to clear the chaos that was coming? But how? There were so many questions to ask, almost too many. I had no special powers, so I would die first. But according to my vision, I'd be his target after he rid the world of the six.

"Are you okay? You seem to be in a lot of pain, and you're sweating,"

"I'm...I'm okay," I panted. "I just...who are you?" I asked the crazy pink pony.

"I'm Pinkie Pie, and this is Gummy!" She said as she took out a baby green alligator.

"Ah!" Get that away from me!" I yelped.

"Oh, Gummy is harmless. Why does everypony think he's dangerous? I call him Gummy for a reason, see? He has no teeth! Say hi, Gummy!" The alligator opened his mouth to show just its gums. I had to admit, it was awfully cute. But then he jumped and bit my mane.

"Eep! Get him off!"

"Teehee, he likes you!" She giggled. This visit from her was going to last a lot longer than I was hoping.

"Might I ask why you're here, and how you know me?" I inquired.

"Oh, Twilight got a letter from Celestia, stating her daughter was coming to Ponyville, and something about a chaos uprising, but that doesn't matter. I came here to introduce myself first! And I did!" She laughed bubbly.

"Um...yeah, and you did a great job at it," I rolled my eyes. I began walking past her. "So where is Princess Twilight? Last time I checked, a princess should be punctual about her duties," I said like a true royal noblemare.

"Oh, she flew off to get Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash up in Cloudsdale,"

"I see. Any other ponies coming late to welcome me?"

"Well there's-"

"I was being sarcastic. Jeez, don't you know any form of satire?"

"Not really, but I do know a lot of good jokes!"

"Entertain me, then, but just one."

"Okay! Um...why did the skeleton cross the road?"

"Why did it?"

"To cross to the other side!" A feint silence befell both of us, and I sighed.

"Really? That's supposed to be a joke?"

"Okay, that was just the beginning of being mean to me! Here's the bestest one I can create for now! How many ponies does it take to screw in a light bulb?'

"Um-"

"None! They all got shocked!" She snorted.

"Um...yeah. Ha, ha. Now I really have to go,"

"Sorry if I'm late girls! I decided to get Rarity and Applejack as well," A lavender alicorn pony said. She was magnificent, but lacked in beauty. Sure she had the eyes to shoot the luggage, but no colt to catch it with. In other words, her mane was too straight. My mane at least had some volume. I felt the pain rush through my brain as the images of their deaths scattered across my mind. It was too much. I...I was suffering from anxiety. My heart sped up and I felt the world around me spin.

"Are you okay?" Twilight asked. I fell to the floor, and tried to keep my voices. I heard their voices echo as I closed my eyes.

"We...we need to get her to the hospital girls. Hurry! She had an anxiety attack, hurry!"
