With all this action going on, where in Equestria is Speed? I mean, she's obviously the first pony you'd think of when it comes to battling evil monsters with names that start with the letter D, correct? Right? Hello?
"What?" Speed said to the voice, getting up off of the ground. She seemed to be in some sort of dark, grey, box. Though, it seemed to go on forever. "You aren't making any sense!"
But what fun is there in making sense? You never did when you were younger! You were the craziest kid in school, Speed!
A memory flashed through Speed's mind. A small girl with red hair and glasses standing in a playground. A park, possibly? Well, that didn't matter. The girl was running around, all the other kids running away from her. What was that she was doing? Barking? What silliness is this? One thing was for sure though, that girl was fast! Knocking down the other kids, and laughing at them. To any adult, she would have looked so adorable, but to the children, she was a nightmare. This child was insane! This child was... Speed.
"That was in the past. I was a child! I've changed!" Speed snapped at the voice, "Now tell me, who are you?"
Oh, really? You haven't changed? You're not crazy? You think you're in a world full of candy-colored horses that can use magic and fly! Is that not crazy to you, Speed?
"That horse stuff is all just a dream. I'm enjoying it, just as any girl would!"
If that's a dream, then what is this? Do you think this is real life? Or do you think this is a dream inside of a dream? This isn't Inception, girl! You are still crazy, believe me. The only thing stopping you from showing it in public are those other girls...
Another memory rushed through Speeds mind. All of the children were on the floor, and the little girl was laughing. But, there were three girls that Speed had not noticed. The popular girls. They were laughing at her. The bully was being bullied. Speed could not let this happen! Speed dashed towards the girls, who continued to smile. The oldest of the three girls raised her hand, and Speed saw the rock in it. Before Speed could do anything, the rock had collided with her head and she was on the ground, unconscious.
Oh, those girls. You never liked them, even when you were a small child. And they could still be with you now. Have you ever noticed that there are three other girls in this group? One, or even all of them could be those girls. How can you trust them?
Speed remained silent after this. What if the other ponies were the popular girls? What if they had come to this land, too? Before Speed could finish her thought, she woke up...
She was back in that forest, but not lost. The town of Ponyville was right in front of her. What was that the voice was saying about a battle?
