The wind whipped at my hair as the dusty dry scenery flew past, doing 98' and I felt great. The loud rumble of my bike trembled through the air, the aged and cracked road zipped under me. My jacket flapped at my sides, the sun shone from the east casting its heat and a long ghostly shadow of myself. Everything was so... Peaceful.

There was a turning in the road that caused the sun to shine directly at me, I pushed my shades further up my nose to block the light... but it did nothing. Soon the light got so bright I couldn't look ahead... then.

I opened my eyes to the sun shining in my eyes through the window, Morning? Damn it! Damn dream. I shifted to avoid the not so peaceful light as I stared at the ceiling. My mind thought back to my dream, how happy I felt...I felt warm, but it was just a dream "Why?"

A voice broke my silence "Hey! Twilights made breakfast" looking towards the door, there stood a short purple... Dragon? He was only about 3 feet tall, his purple scales glistened the light around the room.

"Err. Thanks"

He waved a claw o follow him down and he was gone, the last thing I saw was his tail sliver out. I heaved myself out of bed and stretched; I glanced around for my clothes and found them over the end of the bed.

I went down to the smell of toast and an omelette, the little Dragon was already sitting at the table with Twilight seated next to him.

She turned to me and smiled "good morning! Sleep well?"

Taking a seat opposite her "Oh yeah.. Like a log!" smiling, in front of me she placed a plate of toast and omelette, I dug into my breakfast. "This is good!" praising her for her cooking.

"Thanks, I'm no cook though." She took her seat opposite me and began to eat some toast.

Mouth still full I spoke "aren't you having any omelette?"

She just looked from her toast to my plate, and shook her head, wow I wonder if they actually eat eggs? Wait they must there were a number of cakes and pastries at the party.... "Um. is everything ok Charlie?"

Snapping back from though, I looked at twilight. "is the omelette ok? Did I do something wrong? I followed the recipe and everything!!"

"No. nono! It's great. I just noticed you're not eating it?"

She seemed relieved to hear my words then she spoke "I just didn't fancy egg that's all" I just smiled and nodded, knowing it was best to leave it at that.

As I ate the breakfast, I began to think of what I would need to fix my bike when it was crushed by the sound of crunching and cracking. It was loud and close but what my eyes locked on Twilight with worry, who seemed to look to Spike. Spike was happily eating...Gems!? How can he eat that!!

With every crush of the gem made me cringe, it sounded like he was breaking his teeth!

I can't stand it! I glanced at twilight, who of which had a sorrowful look, I just took my plate and went to the kitchen to clean up. After a short time of clearing the plates I could no longer hear that terrible noise.

Looking up and out the window I could see the sun but there was clouds moving in from the looks of it, "Better get going" I muttered to myself.

Oh damn it! Remembering what I needed I went back into the other room where Twilight was. "Hey Twilight um.. I'm off to go get my bike, but I was wondering if you knew somewhere, where I can get a rubber tube?" she turned to look at me "about this big maybe this long" I motioned with my hands the size.

She sat there for just a moment tapping her chin, "ooh I know! Wait here" she sprung from the seat and went for a door leading down some stairs. I didn't wait long for her to come back up she held a small clear tube in her hand "here"

I rolled the tube in my hands for a moment and nodded "this will do thanks; um do you know where my bag and coat are?"

Twilight nodded and pointed towards the door, "next to the door"

"Ok thanks Twilight, I'll be back in an hour" I went to my bag and pulled a small Kevlar case and threw my jacket on, and grabbed my hat.

I made my way out of the Library and headed towards Applejacks farm, the street was pretty empty only a few Pegasus were flying about, or was it Pegasi? I dunno I continued walking before I took notice at what the Pegasus or pegasi were doing. Are they moving the clouds!!? I stopped and watched the Pony push a cloud into place connecting with the rest blocking the sun How the hell!

I stood starring at them push clouds around the sky; I snapped out when I felt the first few drips splash my face. How? Ah sod it! I need to move! I quickened my pace towards the barn; it didn't take too long to reach the barn. It seemed bright and strong against the inferior and dark sky.

As I past I couldn't see anyone around, must be inside I continued on past the farm towards the hill. By now the rain was.. Well Rain! Not the dribble it was minutes ago. I still couldn't get my head round how the Pegasi.... Pegasus? "Damn it what do you call them"

As I reached the bottom of the hill I began my climb, occasionally losing my footing on the wet and quickly sticky mud. "Gees! My new boots too!" noticing how deep my boots had sank.

When I neared the top I dug my pockets for the Kevlar pocket tool kit and the tube I got from Twilight, I instantly stopped when I looked where my bike was... or a better term would be 'had been', It was gone!!

My Bike was gone! "I DON'T FUCKING BELIEVE THIS!" I threw my tool kit on the floor in my rage, I ranted for what seemed ages but must have been minutes.

With a sigh I Reached down for my kit but stopped, with my hands inches from it, on the ground was tire marks and Hoof Prints in the mud. The led down the hill in the opposite to the way I came. Looking ahead of the path I could see a large bulge of trees, a forest.

I followed the tracks back down to the path all the way to the forest, the canopy of the trees blocked most of the light that was available but not the rain, the rain was now beating hard down on the canopy it sounded similar to the tapping on a umbrella only this one was not keeping you dry and was massive. But I couldn't care; my mind was set I Came for something of mine! And I was determined to find out who took my bike...

Walking through the forest, I could hear strange sounds and sights, I past some weird looking trees that looked like they were watching me. Creepy.... It's Just a forest!

I followed the wheel marks and hoof prints for a while, I was now deep in the forest, I couldn't tell how deep but it was deep. The forest was beginning to show signs of colour from big orange and red plants to small blue ground hugging plants that resembled lilies. The rain made them glitter in the poor light.

I would have stopped and inspected them but. Well. My mind was set.

The path I followed was beginning to get extremely hard to walk along with the mud getting thicker; I stopped to pull myself out of a spot a few times. Grabbing a tree branch nearby I heaved myself out of the mud, as I did something caught my eye. Up ahead I could make out light.

Getting out of the mud I quickened my pace towards the light source; there in the middle of this forest was a small hut. Smoke billowed from the top through a smoke stack and light poured from the small windows.

I slowed to a crawl pace as I edged closer to one of the windows. Leaning up-against the wall I peered into the hut, the walls were lined with a number of vials and glass's. In the centre of the room stood a cauldron that bubbled, I continued to scan the room.

Then I heard a voice, the voice of a lady. "Shadow Mare? Lands lye far and wide, but I do wish to know which you have come from?" speaking in rhythm? What the hell! Peering back into the lit room I spotted a pony. No wait. Zebra? Walking across the room she wore a ragged brown cape that covered her body.

Then I spotted my bike. There on the far side of the room was my bike propped up against the wall. The zebra was next to the bike speaking then I heard a second voice.

"I am not of this world" the voice sounded as if they were speaking through a megaphone and.....

[Snap]

Spinning round I stopped dead in my tracks, a beast stood up in front of me. It had the head of a chicken with red glowing eyes and a body of a snake, dragon....

I felt heavy and couldn't move. I wanted to but my legs felt like they froze then the feeling rose up through my body, I wanted to shout but I could say anything. Only thing I did was gasp and topple over hitting the wall in the fall, I was now facing the beast which was making its way towards me, I was lying on the floor now. The door to the hut slammed open making the beast scarper, everything suddenly went black............... Was I about to learn a lesson here?
