Still I gazed at the two female horses speechless; what do you expect me to say or do, I was confused as to how to react. I've just been whisked to an alternative universe that must be conquered and populated by horses. What any one must do in this kind of situation is not to panic since it makes the situation much worse, but that person who is me must remain calm.

"How did I get here?" I said.

"Do you remember, Stella that I gave you a tutorial on how to transcend from time and space?

So far you have been successful; I'm not surprised that you already have the basic knowledge on how to become one with your soul and the universe?" Complaining with Luna would be near impossible because I remember the dream last night, she asked me if I was familiar with the third eye and she taught me how to transcend.

"I hate to kill the moment, but if one such as myself were to become one with my soul and the universe then why I am so miserable; furthermore why isn't the energy from the universe flowing into my body, thus becoming one with me; rejuvenating me and lift me from the pit I currently live in." everyone I came across so far has a companion; since I lost mine, I feel like I lost a piece of my soul thus far. This has led me to this day, a person that hates friendship because friendship is dead to me.

From the corner the large white horse came closer; "dear Stella, my sister told me about the perils you have faced so far, especially your dearest friend that was lost to violence; Luna brought you here to Canterlot because you were in need of a fresh start and some friends…"

"I don't have any friends; no one will replace my best friend Eva. Please just take me back and mind your own dam business." So with that I attempted to climb out of that large circular double bed, but instead of seeing two bear feet I saw four wobbling hooves, hooves the colour of light goldenrod yellow; were are my chest nut feet. This event was surreal; I thought this was a joke played on me or I was on some cheap illegal substance.

"Were are my feet?" I stammered; Luna was next to reply.

"Since you're in the realm of ponies your physical features have altered to adapt to this realm…"

"My old body suited me just fine," I grumbled.

"Unfortunately for you Stella this how the universe works; however since your now a pony you can fit in and makes some friends," Celestia said; I really did not want to make some friends, I wanted to go home and do what I'm good at, squabbling and being gloomy.

What was now an interesting topic was my hair it had shades and highlights similar to the scene of twilight, my favourite time of the day; I liked the way my hair was. In my world my hair was short black and curly; my African hair broke alot which made me envious when I was to see others flaunting and showed off their luxurious hair in all directions. Now it is the girls turn to envy me, but they are there and I am here; I giggled to myself wickedly. Next on the agenda was having the ability to walk on all fours.

I didn't think from being a bipedal creature to now being a quadruped small horse would be frightening yet difficult at the same time; "I am a pony, I was a human but now I am a pony" I mumbled

"Luna brought me here, to this alternate universe to make some friends. Why couldn't she bring others that are suffering just like me or worse to mingle; did she only bring me here because I had a purpose to fulfil, I really don't know." I finish my little entry that I will be noting down later.

"Stella, you quite right, you do have a destiny to fulfil. But first I would like to introduce my dearest student princess Twilight Sparkle and her five mare friends tomorrow. They will teach you the element of friendship so you can fulfil your own destiny; I'm sure right now you're aching to see your new appearance." Celestia said; Luna on the other hand produced a mirror from nowhere right in front of me with her magical horn.

I can see the colour of orange, yellow, tangerine, periwinkle and many colours I cannot describe as the colour of twilight for my hair, or mane now since I'm an equine; my hair was all over the place because I just woke up from a strange dream that turned out to be reality. Sticking out of the was hairy mess was a horn which was the same colour as my four limbs and my bare behind which appeared, my new horn also consisted of carvings that a goat has on their horn. my new feature looked like a Cornetto ice cream; my tail was also the same colour as my hair/mane. The only thing that seemed to annoy me was that I was slightly shorter than Luna; in my world I was belittled and was the smallest in the class. I would get bombarded with assaults because of my colour, background, social identity and my height which was five foot; maybe this is why I'm here, to start over. But I'm afraid that I would get bullied again and become a social outcast once more. What more to add to my troubles is that my nose is even bigger that when I was human; this added more greave to what I had when I was human. My new eye colour was gold in the centre and black for the outline; as I noticed this I huffed at myself. I was a fan of twilight saga, but having eyes like the characters suited my fur colour not my human skin tone.

"I think that's enough self-admiration Stella." Luna said before the magical mirror vanished into nothingness. Since I am in the realm of ponies and I have become one of them what am I supposed to do now, say hello to everybody and get a job; probably, but I'm frightened of meeting new people or animals.

"So where do I go from here Celestia and Luna?" I asked

"You will be staying with princess Twilight in Ponyville; she will also serve you as a teacher whilst you are staying at the castle of friendship, but today I will give you a beginner's lesson in magic during and after breakfast. Any questions Stella?"

"Yeah," I replied. "Um why is Twilight a princess and where is the king or queen of this country?"

"Twilight Sparkle became princess of friendship because she discovered her destiny and demonstrating the six element of harmony. I'm princess of the sun and my sister is princess of the moon; my parents however are the retired king and queen ; they live in the cluster of stars at space." Celestia explained; the makes sense, Luna and Celestia are assigned to their duties based on their names and abilities; how interesting.

Breakfast was in a large hall which was even grander than Hampton court palace's dining hall; the only problem was that I couldn't eat with my hooves that I just used to walk with. I guess I really did need lessons in magic so I can levitate cutlery just like Luna and Celestia; first attempt was by looking and copying, this was at breakfast. I got orange juice all over my section of the long table, well at least I managed to move the item; second attempt I ended up pouring porridge on my mane and speared the bowl with my horn. Third and final attempt, well I managed to get food down my throat without it landing anywhere else; this was frustrating but I manage to achieve something."

"Good Job Stella, you're just like Twilight when I first taught her." Celestia complemented

"Like how so," I asked quizzically.

"Gifted," Celestia finished "Yes, getting it right the third time is quite an achievement. Twilight was the same as you when she was a filly." That was a warm complement; at my own world the only comments I receive was that your stupid or idiot. Gifted was something completely new and alien to me; maybe I can get used to living here from now on.

"Thank you Princess, I never received complements like that before."

"Get used to it because it's going to happen more often." A different winged unicorn said as she randomly appeared from nowhere. Her stomach seemed rounder than the rest of her body.

"Who are you, are you a princess too?" I asked.

"I'm cadence and I represent love, yes I'm a princess as well; Princess Celestia has been speaking of your arrival to our world. I know you faced many perils and have suffered so much, but now the suffering will end since you're in a loving environment."

"Ok then, so why have you all got tattoos on your bottoms?" I asked whilst liking at each ponies behind. The three giggled a bit before containing themselves so they are not being I'll mannered. Princess Cadence stepped forward so we were faced to face.

"They are not tattoos, they are cutie marks; they represent the talent the pony has and their personality. For example mine represent love and the ruling of the crystal empire, Celestia's represent the sun since she raises the sun each day and Luna's is the moon, you can guess that one yourself Stella. Since you have no cutie mark Twilight and her friends will help you find your special talent, but I must warn you to take your time there is no hurry."

Cadence even helped me to style my hair which looked nice; the back was packed by being plaited from back to front. My front was left draped each side of my shoulders.

Part two of the first lesson started in the midday; princess Celestia was teaching me how to write with a quill; the hand writing in my eyes seemed very sloppy and of a five year old, but Celestia said that was very good for a first try. Why was there a feeling she was being too nice since I couldn't even read what I just said.

"To improve, practice and patience is a virtue and must be valued, Stella" Celestia reassured me; after that she departed to the other side of the royal library to write a letter addressing to Twilight.

Dear princess Twilight Sparkle

I am writing to tell you that you are receiving a visitor from Canterlot named Stella Thomson; she will be staying with you to learn the magic of friendship.

your faithful princess, Celestia

Celestia threw the scroll into the green flames of the hearth. Moments later another letter appeared from the flames that was from Twilight.

Dear Princess Celestia

Thank you for informing me about the new visitor; furthermore I am grateful that you allowed me to teach Stella about the magic of friendship.

P.S I can't wait to see her.

your faithfully student and princess, Twilight Sparkle

At that time my handwriting managed to be more readable by writing nonsense on the various scrolls; Celestia smiled as she came over to see my progress.

"Well done Stella, I can see your excelling; I think you deserve a break." As soon as Celestia mentioned break I dashed to the doors so I can wonder around the palace which means venturing the unknown.

please review
