I got more support for this story than expected, but I guess that is the power of the ponies.

Well, here is chapter 1.

I awoke to the sound of, well nothing really. It was ominously silent and... wait. Awake. That means I'm alive! I felt the need to wipe my eyes, so I raised my hoof and...

"Ahhhhhhhh!" I don't have hands! I looked back at my hoof to get a better look. It was pale blue, almost white. I took a glimpse at my nearby surroundings. It seemed to be around midnight and I was in a dark forest clearing with a nearby pond. I walked over to the pond and was ready to faint after taking a lookcat my reflection. I was a light blue pony with rose red eyes and a electric yellow mane. I immediately turned to the side to get a glimpse at my flank. My suspicions were confirmed. Cutie Mark. It was a black storm cloud with a single bolt cyan of lightning striking a tree. Hmmm. Striking, Strike. Lightning.

"Lightning Strike. Yeah that'll work. I'll need a name." My eyes suddenly widened as my brain put two and two together. "If I'm like this… that means this is Equestria, and unless my brain is just trolling me, Equestria means Dashie is here." My moment of excitement was short lived. "Oh, right. Celestia erased her memories." I couldn't help but drag her name out with a bit of spite. "Bsides, even if she did have her memories, she wouldn't recognize me." I looked back at my reflection to see my makeshift necklace was still there. I had shown the very same tickets to Dashie not a few hours before we were going to leave. I was struck (Zing!) with an idea. "Maybe, just maybe,"I put on a thinking pose. " I can return her memories. One of those psycho-babble books said that amnesia can be reversed with familiar items or feelings... Not sure if that applies to magic, but... Yeah it'll have to work, and it better work. Otherwise I'd look like a foal... Did I just say that? This place is already starting to mess with my mind!" I looked back behind me at my wings. They were the same colr as my coat, but they faded to bone white as they reached the tips. "Well, looks like its time for a test drive."

ROOOOAAARRRRR!

I twisted my head to the side and nearly passed out as I saw a Manticore charging at me. "Definitely time for a test drive!"I hoped My panic wouldn't hinder my flight." This had better work!" I took off at a quick dash away from the beast. I took a few experimental flaps before I started pumping them hard. I closed my eyes for fear of the Manticore getting me from behind. For ten seconds nothing happened. I finally opened my eyes to see myself flying in a brisk pace in the sky. I realized I was sill moving my legs, so I instead straightened them out to a pose I had frequently seen used in the show. I looked around to see the forest, now obviously the Everfree, moving slowly away. I took in the night sky, the beauty of the stars and the moon. I saw two groups of lights spaced out on the horizon. One was Ponyville, the other, cling to the side of a mountain, was obviously, Canterlot.

"I guess the best action is to pass my self off as a new pony in town. Of course that means having a party thrown by Pinkie. Oh, boy. I guess I'll have to put that off until morning." Luna's moon was high in the sky. I flew over to a lone cloud and landed on it. "Wow, Discord wasn't kidding, tis is plush." I took a few steps around on it before I lied down and drifted off to sleep.

I didn't want to wake up, but the sun tore relentlessly at my closed eyes. I fought for a few minutes before I gave in and woke up. Looking around, I ralized that I was still on my little cloud a little bit away from the small town. I stood up, shook my head, and looked in the direction of the sun. According to its current position in the sky, it was about noon.

"I guess this is good a time as any." I took a leap off the cloud and flapped my wings a few times to regain some altitude. I was flying at a fair speed. If I had to guess I was moving at about 50 mph.

I was able to reach the town in about fifteen minutes. I spied a pink pony walking around one of the paths leading into town. You can guess who that is. I landed right off the path and out off sight. I took a few steps forward onto the path and headed towards the town. I walked up behind her and said the only thing I could think of.

"Hi."

"Oh, hi—"She stopped and looked at me. Here it comes.

She jumped a couple feet in the air. Wait for it.

GAAASSSSPPPP

"Well, I'll deal with the party when I need to." I continued walking towards town. I coldn't help but think. "I wonder how right Twilight was. How crazy are these ponies?"

I'll try to get at least one more chapter of this story out over Thanksgiving holiday, but it won't be immediate. My goal is an average of around 1k words per chapter, maybe more. What do you think? Should it be longer, shorter? I'll leave that disicion up to my faithful reviewers.
