A/N – Well, I've decided to work on this chapter anyway. Don't expect the chapters to be very long. I'm not good at writing extensive things. Read on, and remember, I welcome all ideas of things to do with this. However, not all may be used for various reasons that will depend on the idea.

I awoke as I usually did in the morning. Tired, not wanting to wake up, and above all, with my eyes still closed, trying to milk the sleepy feeling for all it was worth. Eventually I cracked my eyes open. Immediately, I knew something was wrong. One, my bedroom was so dark that barely any sunlight ever got in, yet I was bombarded by sunlight. Two, I was outside. Three, I could feel my back felt a little strange. It didn't feel sore and achy like it always did, but rather…different. Four, the colors and look of the world where brighter, happier, and more like a cartoon. I had my suspicions already. However, there were a few things I needed to check before I could verify them.

Step one; look myself over. Black coat, wings, four hooves, a cutie mark of purple flames, and a two-tone mane of a darker and lighter shade of purple. I was a Pegasus. Strangely, I did not have a tail.

'Oh well, that doesn't matter right now.'

The only thing I could see that I kept was my watch, resting on my front, right leg.

Step two; test my voice, if I have one.

"Testing, testing, 1, 2, 3."

I had a voice. This helped further fortify my suspicions.

Step three; name myself. I've seen this kind of thing in many times in many fan fictions. People would come here to Equestria and go right for Ponyville without any kind of plan. I was going to fake amnesia and not say anything about the human world unless absolutely necessary. I decided, with the help of my cutie mark and colors, that I would name myself Shadow Fyre. I always liked the idea of names replacing 'i' with 'y'

This left me with only one step left to act on; I set off down the path I only just noticed was by me.

'Way to be observant.'

After about 30 minutes of walking, a town began to make itself visible along the horizon. Another 10 and I was entering the lightly bustling town, which just so happened to be inhabited by ponies. My suspicions have been confirmed. I'm in Equestria. I didn't know exactly what town, but if the various familiar landmarks were any indication, I was in none other than Ponyville itself. What sheer dumb luck, eh?

With this in mind I tried to start walking through the town, but my path as quickly blocked by a pink pony, a mare. I'll give you one guess.

"Hello there! My name's Pinkie Pie!" If you guessed it, go get some cookie dough. You're making your own cookie. "I haven't ever seen you in Ponyville before, and I know everypony in Ponyville, which means you must be new and don't have any friends, which must be sad, but it also means I get to throw a PARTY and introduce you to all of Ponyville…"

I stuffed my hoof in her mouth to muffle the constant ranting of Pinkie and allow my head the chance to have its ache diminish. It wasn't aching from her chatter. Not at all, but rather just the speed at which it was coming. After a while she stopped talking and allowed me to speak myself.

"Hello Pinkie, my name is Shadow Fyre, spelled with a 'y' in place of the 'i'. I am very pleased to meet you and would love to attend this party." My face MAY have cracked into a tiny smile as I said this, instead of remaining in its normal, stoic, expressionless state.

"Well then be at Sugarcube Corner at about 3:00 this afternoon! It looks like a big gingerbread house! Until then, feel free to explore the rest of town! With luck you might bump into my friends, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity! Bye Shadow Fyre! Bye author!"

'That Pinkie, always breaking the fourth wall. Oh well, at least it's funny when it happens.'

A short trek around town later

I had been exploring the town for a while, learning the layout of Ponyville. It was fairly larger than the show made it out to be, but I guess that's understandable. I found Sugarcube Corner, the Library, and Carousel Boutique, but I hadn't gone to any of them yet. I wanted to find Fluttershy's cottage first before going to the Library. Just in case there was the minuscule chance that she might invite me to stay at her place while I'm here. It would be preferable to me than staying at the Library, if there does happen to be spare rooms. I've never really been much of an outgoing person to be honest. I have a feeling it will be a little different now.

As I neared a side street, I could see a small cottage in the distance. I realized I hadn't even flown at all yet. Then I noticed that walking had already come naturally to me, like I had been a pony all my life. I decided to put my theory to the test. I unfurled my wings, gave them a few test flaps to get a feel for the new limbs, stretched a little, and readied up. When I felt confident, I leapt into the air, flapping my wings. Theory confirmed. I guess all bodily functions come naturally to me in this world. That's a good thing, I'm sure.

After a minute or two of flying (it felt amazing!) I made it to the cottage. It was most definitely Fluttershy's. The Everfree was the only forest I knew about near Ponyville. Not to mention all the blatantly obvious animal housing all around. The only thing I didn't immediately see was Fluttershy herself.

'She must be inside. If not, at a friend's maybe?'

I knocked on the door anyway. She might be home.

"Coming!" I hear from inside. Yes, she's home. I feel so lucky. Maybe, just maybe.

The door opens to reveal a canary yellow Pegasus with a baby pink mane and teal eyes. Definitely Fluttershy. I can feel a small lump forming in my throat. Swallowing it, I begin to speak.

"H-h-hello" I barely stammer out. 'Smooth.'

"H-hi," she whispers while hiding behind her mane.

'It sounds better in person! In pony? Whatever it may be. Wait a minute, why does my head feel light?'

"Mister? Mister? Hello?" *THUMP* "EEK!"

A/N – Holy crap! Just what happened to me? Tune in next…aw forget it. Review if you want. I started writing this chapter last night. After a bit of thought, I rewrote the end here to give myself a better chance of staying at Fluttershy's place. In other news, I listened to this song on YouTube throughout the entire chapter. /watch?v=wxoGmVjAsmE
