Notice: I don't own any of MLP: FiM. All ownership goes to Laura Faust and Hasbro. I own only the storyline that's made up here and my Speeding Comet character.

P.S.: For reasons, that I'd rather not go into detail to, I'd rather keep my real name throughout this story private. So, please don't PM me on the subject.

BTW for those who don't know dialogue:

This is me narrating.

"This is me talking."

This is me thinking/singing.

This is me, trying to address a point.

Now then, let's get on with the story!

Chapter 1: Enter Speeding Comet

Ever get the feeling you're always being watched? Well, perhaps that's the same thing with me, as I usually feel like someone's out to get me. My parents tried to calm me down. Social workers told me, not to worry as I went to see doctors and a few therapists. Nothing kept me from ever feeling like I wasn't being watched. I don't know why, but don't blame me when I say I'm paranoid. At least, I was. All before I entered their world. The world of Equestria.

Now, I know people are going to say I'm nuts, and that I'm loony. Normally, they'd be right. And don't ask me how, but I got there by whatever crazy means of magic, as I believe this is the proper term for it, as I'm still here in this mysterious, yet colorful land.

Since scientists and other logic-thinkers couldn't really prove magic existed until now, they had dismissed it as crazy talk. Well, guess now I'm now the first to enter a new dimension, by mysterious means, it must mean either magic is real, or there's something more to me arriving here. So let me explain how this all started.

A few months ago, I was your ordinary teen. With the exception of being paranoid, I was fine. Until, I recently found out about the show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You see, while I was browsing YouTube one night, I accidentally clicked a video of the cartoon. I watched it, and about twenty minutes later, giver take a couple, I dismissed it as trash and went off to bed.

I fell asleep at about 10:30 p.m. like a normal teen. I didn't feel anything weird going on after getting a strange feeling from watching the video, but I dismissed it. Normally, I'd wear pajamas when I went to sleep, but instead I slept with my causal outfit on. It consisted of a black t-shirt, jeans, and my red and white sneakers, which pretty much were wrecked by now. I only did this because I worked really hard at an office my dad owned, so I was pretty well beat and needed a night off. So, then I drifted off to my dream world, for a good night rest.

When I awoke, the sun shone brightly in my face. Which to no surprise for me, only seemed to agitate me. My vision was blurry, so I had no idea I was outside. Annoyed by the light, I tried to roll onto my stomach to get the light off my face. Sadly, that only succeeded in giving me a minor sunburn on my back. At this point, I'd thought one of my parents was waking me up to do something and they recently let up the blinds in my room.

"Gimme five more minutes, Mom." I thought to myself.

After realizing five minutes had gone by, and no mother had shaken me around to get me awake, like she'd normally do, I opened my eyes. I tried to sit up straight, but I felt heavy for some reason. Also, I observed the world looked more like a cartoon than normal.

"What the-!?" I thought to myself again. I tried to at least move my fingers, to know if I was still alive. When nothing happened and I didn't feel my fingers move, I brought up what would've been my hands, only to see they'd become…HOOVES!

At this point, I surprised myself, so I snapped up and looked at myself. Or at least tried to, because I had no mirror on me when it happened. Luckily, a little puddle of water happened to be nearby. Once I got used to walking on four legs, instead of two, I went to the puddle. I looked and saw some new changes about me.

I was a stallion, with a bright red coat on me. Which kind of reminded me of a Pony Music Video I saw on YouTube. The pony singing in the first few minutes of the video had a coat of bright red, kind of like mine. The only things different about him were that he wore WAY too big sunglasses, and his mane was brown. And he also happened to be a unicorn. The music video, however, I couldn't recall when.

I, however, was nothing like him, except for coat color.

My once brown hair had turned into a mane, with a kind of neon or really bright green as the primary color, with some darker streaks of green within as a secondary color, and the color scheme went the same for my tail.

My eyes were also no longer mud-brown, but now just a deep jade-green. I also had wings, signaling I was a Pegasus, and I had what appeared to me as a sweet tattoo of Haley's Comet on my butt.

When I thought about it, it made me look like an alien, or some type of mutant.

So, reality soon hit me really hard, telling me the only obvious conclusion: I was stuck in a little kid cartoon. Namely, My Little Pony.

I panicked.

What could I do!? Where would I hide!?

Just then I came to two more important realizations: one, I'd never fit in this world. And two, my family would be worried sick about me. I'm a human, who's disguised as a pony. The characters are ponies! I'd just blow my cover!

Secondly, my parents would also worry about me, wondering where their eldest son had run off to. How would I explain where I went to them, if I ever got back? Or moreover, how would they explain it to the cops?

I pictured the conversation in my head as my mom bawling her eyes out, and dad getting either really angry, or worried. They'd then tell the cops they had nothing to do with my disappearance, and well, I'd miss them, despite them annoying me constantly.

Even so, if they figured out I was in a cartoon, then told the cops, I doubt police would believe the story.

"Great, just great," I muttered. "Crazy world, crazy appearance, and still same old human mind in a new body! What's next!?" Wow, man did my voice get a lot deeper!

At this point, I lost hope. So, I looked around at my surroundings. The trees were lined with apples, so I knew I was in an apple orchard. The sun was rising and looked about to be somewhere around seven o'clock, which wasn't too early for me.

Speaking of which, my stomach then growled. I was hungry, but I wasn't going to steal food, not without at least paying for it. So, I headed north, which seemed to be the most reasonable direction to go, anyway.

As I trotted along, northward, I felt my energy slowly zapping away from me. I felt like I couldn't go on. Right before then, however, I made it to a barn, which looked familiar to me. I looked around, but not for too long. I fell down to the ground, feeling myself slipping into blackness. Right before then, however, I swore I could hear talking, and make out a few ponies. One happened to be orange, whom looked like a mare to me. Another looked like a stallion, whose coat was colored red, kind of like mine, except a bit darker.

The orange one, as far as I could tell, had a high pitched voice, similar to a regular girl on a farm, with a Southern accent of some sort. The red one, had what you might describe as a deep voice, like mine, and by the way he stomped his hooves, sounded pretty strong to me.

Since I was laying on the ground, I could only see their front hooves, so I couldn't tell who they were. I could barely make out a few words like Granny, room, help and rest. Sounded to me like they were going to help me out, but I didn't know how. That was the last thing I remembered before I passed out.

After what seemed to me, like about years of being in a coma, I awoke. Except, not in the same place as before. This time, I was in a bed, with yellow sheets laying on top of me. The bedpost and frame, where as far as I could tell, where painted green, along with the four walls that surrounded me.

I tried to move my head, but to no avail. My neck was seemingly in pain, for some reason. Directly in front of me, was a window, and after getting out of bed, when I walked up to it, the world was brighter to me than usual and the sun had moved up a bit higher now, to somewhere around noon.

"For the love of God… " For now, I just wanted to know who exactly rescued me after I passed out.

Suddenly, I heard footsteps. Well, moreover hoofsteps. For now, I was just shaking in my metaphorical boots and hoped that the pony or person, or demon or whatever, wouldn't open the door.

At this point I prayed for one thing from God: "Save me!"

Unfortunately, my prayers were not answered.

Suddenly, I heard the doorknob move and turn.

Aw crap…

Yeah, somehow things always ended up wrong for me. If I pray for something to happen to me, it usually doesn't come right away. If I don't pray, well, something does happen to me, but with a ironic twist.

And besides, since I didn't pay much attention to the episode I watched last night, I was lost about who the main characters were. I knew there were six of them, for one. Out of all them, only three really got my attention. I won't reveal them now….yet.

Please don't be a demon! Please don't be a demon! Please don't be a demon!

Either way, I knew I was screwed. I knew I didn't belong in a cartoon, let alone be a part of it.

It was all over.

I closed my eyes and heard the door open…

"Finally, it'd be a darn good thing to know you're awake!"

I slowly opened my eyes. The pony in front of me was the orange one I who happened to notice me passing out earlier.

"Um, hello to you, too?" I responded slowly.

"Lemme guess, you're some type of city pony right?" the orange mare inquired.

"You could say that," I replied.

"Well, anyways, good thing I found ya! You were passed out like a log there, sugarcube."

"By the way, name's Applejack." she continued. Remembering her name, made me realize that she was one of the three ponies who really got my attention on the show I watched last night.

Now if only I could see the other two, and avoid the rest, I'd be okay.

The reason being Applejack got my attention was mainly because she was strong, friendly and honest. A type of mare you could count on when in trouble, and was also very sweet, mainly due to her kind and honest nature. I could live with those qualities.

She then asked me the dreaded question: "So, who are you, stranger?"

Aw man! This was the question I had no answer to!

I'd basically made a plan for if I ever met one of the Mane Six. I came up with it when I was walking through the apple orchard earlier. My story was I was a lone pony who lived nowhere, traveling the land, looking for a place to live and practice singing with lessons. Sadly, I came up with no idea for a name.

"M-my name…." I stammered.

I looked around for anything that'd help me, in my memories of being a human and around the room. Then I got an idea. Since I was usually a fast runner back in my world, people often said I was a speeding bullet. Then I remembered my tattoo. Since it was a comet, my name should be similar.

"My name is Speeding Comet," I said more confident. "But, please, just call me Comet for short, alright?"

"Pleasure ta meet ya, Comet!" Applejack said with a smile, extending her hoof to me, to which I politely shook it.

"So, whose room am I using? I really want to thank them." I asked.

"Oh, so, yer a true gentlecolt, am I right? Well, you're using Applebloom's room. She be my younger sister."

"Tell her I said thanks, okay?"

"Naw, it's alright. Friends help each other out. And you are looking like a good friend, yes sir."

"Well, who brought me in, anyway? I really want to thank them as well." I said.

"It was me and Big Macintosh who brought ya in, but Granny Smith was the one who actually allowed ya to use this room. Besides, ya only collapsed from exhaustion. Nothing serious."

"Well then, I thank you all for your hospitality." I said.

"Aw shucks, partner. It woulda been mighty rude of me to not help ya out." Applejack said.

"Speaking of which, could I get something to eat?" I asked. "Just an apple will do. I didn't really feel like stealing from you since I have no money on me now."

"Ya know son," Applejack started. "I've been able to tell between a liar and an honest colt. Been one of the best things I could do all my darn life. But you, you are one of the most honest colts I've ever helped in a LONG darn time. I'll let you keep a whole bucket of them for free."

"Wow, thanks AJ." I said.

"Aw, shucks, it's nothing Comet. Besides, we got more in the cellar." she said. "Now then, how about I get you that bucket of apples?"

"Ok, lead the way. Hay, that rhymed!" I said, jokingly.

AJ just chuckled at my smart remark. I guess she knows a comedian when she sees one too.

As we walked on, I didn't see anyone else, which made me assume they were all out somewhere, either working or selling apples. AJ led me down to her cellar, which was right in front of her family barn I saw. I walked down with her, noticing many barrels of cider along the way, and some buckets of apples, all fresh, being kept underground and all. Cinderblocks made up of mostly the walls, flooring, and ceiling.

It was a one-room storage, mainly divided into two halves: one side contained apples that were going to be turned into cider. The other half was mainly barrels made to hold and age the cider. Since it was so cool down there, none of the apples looked like they were rotting, so at least I knew I was getting a good snack.

As we went around shuffling around for a good bucket of apples, I noticed Applejack looking at me tensely. I could get the impression that she wanted to know more about me, and what I intended on doing during my stay in the town.

The subtle clues I picked up from her were her glancing in my direction, then changing focus when I looked back at her. She also seemed to give me a stern look, like I was some sort of messed-up science project. I felt like I was being studied under a microscope, like a tiny insect.

As we kept on looking around, Applejack asked me a few questions.

"So, where do ya'll live?" was her first question.

"Um, nowhere actually." I replied.

"Really? Why not?" Applejack questioned.

"I grew up alone, and I never knew my parents. I moved from place to place, wandering around. I also wrote songs for entertainment and in the hopes of getting a job, but I was always too defensive about my singing voice, so I didn't sing at all. I just wrote songs. Plus, I was paranoid that somepony would come along and steal them."

Ok, let's hope she buys it, and not ruin the friendly atmosphere.

"Gosh, I feel bad for ya, Comet. I never knew. Sorry I asked." AJ turned away from me, and slowly closed her eyes in guilt, knowing it was a touchy subject.

In my defense, I had no idea of how she'd react. I assumed she'd comfort me, after hearing my sob story. She was just trying to be helpful, but I guess, she knows when to stop the questions.

Now, I could never turn down a sad lady, so I decided to comfort her. Especially since I could tell she'd use the "puppy eyes" technique on me.

I put a hoof around her neck, and turned her to me, to give her a hug. Already I could tell, she was blushing a little when I saw her cheeks turn bright red.

"It isn't your fault AJ. You didn't know. Besides, lots of ponies asked me on that subject, and I really don't mind. I'm used to it. But, you know what? I'm glad to be your friend. Because, well, for the first time, I'm not alone. And well, I really do enjoy your company! So, go ahead, ask all the questions you want to know about me. " I calmly and soothingly responded.

"Thanks, Comet. In all truthfulness, gosh darn it, I wish y'all told me sooner." she said.

Actually, most of it was a bluff. I really was used to being home alone and getting through my daily classes at school. I practiced singing, but I wasn't good, so I just sang in private in my room. I lived with my parents, younger brother and a Labrador Retriever.

I still missed my old home, but for now, I didn't have any worries.

"Come on, AJ. We can get the apples later, I'm not feeling hungry anymore." When I saw Applejack like that, I really didn't feel like eating at the time.

"Alrighty then, Comet. I suppose it can wait for a little while later."

So, we left the cellar, and proceeded on with the day.

As soon as we left, we trotted by together. I felt comfortable around Applejack, knowing she was a good friend, and all. Then I remembered a question I wanted to ask her.

"Hey, AJ?"

"Yeah, Comet?"

"Remind me, what's with the tattoos on our butts again?"

"Oh, gosh darn it!" she giggled a little. "That's your Cutie Mark! It's your special talent! Like mine right here is working on the farm."

She pointed to three apples right on her behind, and I facehoofed myself for not seeing that in the first place.

For crying out! How could I miss it!?

"So, what does yours represent?" AJ then asked.

Her curious eyes stared at mine. She awaited the answer that I originally thought I had the answer to, but seemed to have lost it all within the past hour.

"Well… I can't really remember, AJ. I mean, I just woke up, and this is kind of sudden. My best guess is either I'm really fast, or really passionate, I guess." I responded earnestly.

"Speaking of fast, there are a few special someponies who'd really like to meet ya," Applejack said. "And one of them happens to be the so-called "best flier of Equestria", even if she's hot headed."

"And, who might this mare be?" I asked. Actually, I knew the answer already. I was asking to make sure me and AJ were on the same page. I knew I'd probably regret that though, because if the episode I watched taught me anything, it's she always crashed into somepony, bragged a lot, and just happened to be the second of the three Mane Six, who really did catch my attention.

Also, she could kick my rear end in a race. If you've watched the show like I have, you'd know who I'm talking about. But, for those who are new to the show and this story, I will keep the mare's name a secret, but it won't be long until her scene comes.

"Ha-ho! You'd be funny, ya darn olden colt you!" AJ laughed. "Everypony knows it's-!"

Whoa! I didn't expect she'd be that fast!

A streaming rainbow zoomed across the sky. While it the rainbow was still there, dust had started to kick up around the area me and AJ were in. My eyes were blinded by immense dust, and vast wind currents that felt like I was in the eye of a tornado.

The rainbow streak had followed a fast flying figure, who happened to do several aerial stunts, right before stopping in front of me, midair.

Man, the timing in this show is always right on cue, huh?

From there she introduced herself, finishing Applejack's previous line.

"-ME! The one, and only Rainbow Dash, master of the Sonic Rainboom!"

Well, this basically wraps up the first chapter! By the way, I don't own any future references to music, books, MLP episodes, and etc,.

Hopefully, the second chapter will be out soon in the near future!

So please guys, let me know in your reviews how it could be improved, how you liked it, or not, and what else you'd like to see!

BTW, for the bronies on the site, give this story some love!

See you later!
