I arrived at Rainbow's with much confusion.

"Rainbow?" I couldn't see her anywhere in the front room.

I began to explore throughout her home. It is very expertly formed (with it being formed from clouds and all) with several expensive looking items placed throughout the ground floor.

"wow! Rainbow has some expensive taste for what people give her credit for."

I walk over into what appeared to be the kitchen from the mess on the table in the center of the room.

"DAYUM!"

I walk through to the next room which lead to a staircase. I walked up the staircase to find a wide corridor with several doors along both sides with a door at either end.

"Nice."

I proceed to the right of the hallway and decide to go from the far side to the front.

"End door. Here I come!"

After a few seconds I arrive at the end door and open it up slowly.

I walk in to find that it is a Bedroom.

"Seems like a guest room?"

I look around the room to see it has no colour orientation other than cream and the furnishment is rather standard.

Guess this is a spare room

I leave that room and go into the room to my right.

I enter to find a room with several play items dotted around the floor.

"Heh, childish. wonder why?"

I leave that room and come to the next room which was a bathroom.

better not stay here for nothing

The next room was a colourful room with several wonderbolt posters.

"Rainbow's room, nuff said."

I decide to try and find Rainbow again, so I head back downstairs.

"Rainbow, you here yet?"

No reply.

"Rainbow?"

Still nothing.

I lay down on the couch and begin to wonder what everypony else is doing.

Silence fell around me and I was beginning to fall asleep.

"Damn. Where are you Rainbow?"

After a few more moments, I sleep.


"Josh?"

I awake to my name being called out from a distance.

"Josh?"

I open my eyes to see nothing ...

Total darkness.

"Hello? ... someone there?"

I get no reply.

"Anyone?"

Again, nothing.

"Well ... shit."

There was nothing around me, the place was utterly dark. The voice keeps calling me but I can't see the one who is calling me out. I start to get a little concerned.

"This is some weird energy im sensing. Is this a dream or ... something else?"

I noticed that the whole time I hadn't checked myself over or anywhere behind me. I looked further around my position in this nothingness, there was a faint light directly behind me.

"Ive seen enough movies and played enough games to know this is not really good."

"That is a rather nice idea."

An new voice was heard from what seemed to be above me. I look up and see a cream coloured pegasus pony with a deep blue mane and tail and larger wings than the regular pegasus.

"He doesn't know anything yet, does he?"

The next voice was less brash and more subtle. I look to my right and see a unicorn pony, also coloured cream and with a short brown mane and tail with a thick line of red running through them.

"Well ... he seems to not know anything yet ... but does he know where he is and how he can see us? Seems more important right now."

The third voice was inbetween the volume and brash-ness of the other two voices and this one was an earth pony, also cream, with a brown mane and brushy tail. both with a sky blue streak going along them.

"who ... are you guys?" I finally speak up through my confusion.

"So, you have not yet found out about who you are and, more importantly, what you are in this world?"

This voice came from behind me. I turn to see a Deep black pony with the build of the earth pony, wings of flesh -like that of a bat or demon- and a long, blood red mane and tail. his voice was a more deeper tone but had a kind sort of feel to it.

"Whoa ... im now wondering over all else how you got here with me."

What I see and hear next makes me worry ...

"We have been here since the very second you joined this world."

I look beside me to see a female pegasus pony with a scarlet coat, cute sky blue eyes and a sky blue mane and tail in a similar style to Twilight's. she also had a second colour in her mane and tail. this was hot pink. she had a build like that of Rainbow Dash and a voice like twilight's but more quiet.

Oh no ... a female pony is here too ... have I caused these ponies to be trapped in here? And how do I get them out, aswell as myself?

The demonic pony spoke again.

"Calm yourself Joshua, you have nothing to worry about here. we are all here for a reason."

All of the other ponies nod at this and im just completely dumbfounded as to how he knows my name ... I ask him how he knows and he replies-

"In due time you shall discover yourself, and then you will discover all of us."

this was making me kinda want to laugh. Not from crazyness, but from the safe feeling im getting from these pony strangers.

"Atleast he isn't scared, right?" the unicorn pony asked the other ponies.

"Yup, and he will be rather surprised after his visit to Celestia." the earth pony answers to the unicorn.

At this point my only questions were "where am I?" and "who are you guys?" ... the demonic pony asnwers the first question.

"You are in your third concience."

"My ... third concience?" Being human and all, I was curious as to what this "third concience" is.

"Yes, this is where your deepest thoughts, feelings, and hidden powers and potential are sealed in you. most cannot access their third concience, and those that do achieve the greater things in their lives. You however, will make the choices unlike those of the past who are given a goal or mission."

"Sounds like a movie." I say to myself. he continues after looking me in the eyes.

"Your power is different to those of simple magic or knowledge. I cannot say what your power is but I can tell you your potential excedes even that of Celestia herself."

I fall backwards in astonishment.

I have more hidden power than that of the princess?

"You must leave now, for your love interest is approaching."

"Hold up, what?" I am not granted an answer this time and am pushed through what felt like a wall of water.

All of the ponies look towards me and wave as they slowly vanish from my sight.


"Josh?"

A familiar voice wakes me up. I look up to see Rainbow Dash hovering over me with a blush on her face.

That demonic pony said my love interest was coming ... did he mean Rainbow?

"Hey Rainbow, why the blush?"

She immediatly covers her face with her hoof and giggles lightly.

"Stop it, your making me shy." she hovers away from the couch I am lying on and sets her hooves onto the cloud floor.

"Making you shy? Really?" I was quite surprised by that. I always imagined Rainbow as the pony that was only shy around the wonderbolts.

I get up from the couch and stumble a little from getting up too quickly.

"Woah. I hate when I do that." I stay still for a few seconds and regain my balance.

Rainbow was walking through to the kitchen when I heard a cloud *pomf* away.

"I brought you a letter!"

Ditzy Doo, a funny pony and kinda cute to me. very popular with fanart on earth.

Rainbow turns around and says, "Again with hitting the walls Ditzy?" she grabs the letter in her hoof and thanks Ditzy. Ditzy then flies off ... through the other cloud wall.

*Facepalm*

"Oh yeah, that was-" Rainbow starts. I cut her off.

"Ditzy Doo, also known as Depry Hooves. She is the mail-mare for this area."

Rainbow looks at me with a small amount of anger but mostly confusion.

"Let me guess ... why did I interupt and how did I know?"

She simply nods.

"Heh, I interupted just for a laugh and I know because of the show and the internet back home."

Rainbow simply gets up and walks into the kitchen.

I hope I haven't upset her ...

I walk into the kitchen to see that she has vanished.

"She must have went upstairs."

I start to ascend the cloud-stairs again ... but something is off this time.
