  1. It was a blindingly bright day, and I found myself trotting around in circles, getting the hang of walking and running. To test my skills, I tried hoping as if Pinkie Pie would. My lanky body bounced a few inches off the ground a couple of times. Feeling confident, I tried to jump a little higher, and higher, and highe-BAM! A sharp pain jolted through my crown down to my body. My head had slammed into nearby rock, " MOTHER OF CELESTIA that HURT! " After tending to my sore head, It was then, my stomach started to rumble. I would defiantly have to find something to eat around here.

  3. Walking along around town, I could see that other chan-ponies were already getting used to their new lives. Some had become plumbers, medics, farmers, and even guards. This was going over more smoothly than I thought, we may even be allowed to visit Equestria sooner! That is, until I overheard someponies talking about nuclear war. I take back what I said. My stomach roars again when I finallyapproacha cafe of sorts. I sit to look over a menu when I realized something. I needed bits didn't I? Hell, I need a job! But what could I do? I just got the hang of walking and running, and I have no fingers or horn to draw with. That's when I got an idea.
  4.  
  5. "Borrowing" a piece of cardboard and marker from an unsuspecting sleeping mare, (seriously, who sleeps in the middle of the day out in the open? ) sloppily, with my mouth I write a simple message, and sat in front of a nearby shop;
  6.  
  7. " WiL L Wo Rk 4 BitS "

  9. An hour passed until I got bored and tossed the sign. Some ponies appeared to be eating the grass growing around. I cringed at the thought. I tasted grass as a human, and knew that crud was nasty. That's when I began to remember my foraging app and all those survival documentaries I had watched. With my makeshift bag made from the tent, i went Running, or should I say, stumbling, until I came across the wooded area near the farm. It was here I would be able to find some food.
  10.  
  11. I quickly found clovers all over. Hungrily, I munched on the greens hoping that they would bring me luck as well. They tasted damn good on an empty stomach, or was my new horse taste buds making them delectable? Having my fill, with my mouth I pull some up and put them in my tent bag. Looking around, I tried to see if I could find of anything else. Blue flowers grew in an open area, I checked them over to confirm them as Chicory and grabbed some of them in my bag as well. Is that Chickweed? Dandelions? Fireweed? Wow, this is going to be amazing. Tonight, I will feast like a king!
  12.  
  13. By the time I finished, my bag was half full. This was a pretty good haul that should last me a few days if I ration this properly. I thought about selling some of it too in town to bring in some income.
  14.  
  15. " Let's see, Chickweed, Dandelions, clovers, Chicory, Bee Balm..." I counted over my inventory in my head thinking of ways I could cook the plants. " Bee Balm can make a tea, but I would need to sweeten with some honey. " My eyes scanned around the woods and it didn't take me long to find a beehive. The luck of the clovers must be working, but how the hell would I get the honey? I had to take a moment to sit and think about my plans. " There was a lake nearby wasn't there? Maybe if I run and jump into the river nearby? No, I don't want to drown, I could barely swim as a human, as a horse that would be damn near impossible. " Giving up, I realized I was going to need help with getting the honey. Forfeiting for the day, I make my way back to the cliff with my victory haul of flowers and greens.
