“…and done!” Lauren Faust said as she finished the new book she was writing. It took her nearly the entire day to finally finish what she had in mind for the viewers. Satisfied, she stretched in her office chair and decided to relax.
I wonder what the viewers have said lately, she thought as she recalled all the fans of her creation, “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic”. She even came across a site where almost all of them were bound to find, Fimfiction. It’s a site where they were able to post stories of any they could do. Some were for all ages, some you have to be older to avoid throwing up. There were even those in which they created their own Original Characters, or OC for short. Some of them like Nyx were very famous.
The founder of the site was Knighty. Some think he’s fine, others think he’s a dictator. Some of the reasons why include his strict rules and the fact that he kept terminating those who opposed him. Those who feared for their lives at Fimfiction just followed the rules, others just rebelled.
Lauren also met some other users at Fimfiction, oldest and newest alike. She also learned that although there are many reenactments of other media, four are the most popular. The Original version made by her was the most loved. The Alternate or Murderous version was the one in which they looked the same, but they kill. The Pony Monster or Freak form was made by InvertedShadow; some like Pinkis even forgot she was their Lauren and original maker. And the 5 Nights at Pinkie’s or FNAP was the one where they reenacted the pizzeria game and where they are just mostly just plain animatronics.
How would it be like to meet them all for real? Lauren thought. She knew that was impossible. But, still, it would be nice to know how it would feel. With a smile, she was beginning to doze off.
“LAUREN, WAKE UP!”
Lauren woke with a jolt. Who was in her office this time? She just dealt with most of her co-workers, and Craig stopped by for bit, so who was in her office now? Lauren looked up to see somepony who she never expected to see.
“TWILIGHT?!”
As much as she wished it was all a dream, Lauren couldn’t help but gape in awe. There, just infront of her face, was Twilight Sparkle. How did she get there? Has Equestria found a way to interact with the human world? Why was Twilight suddenly referring to her as a mom? Lauren asked many questions in her head. This was impossible and she knew it. But it all seemed so real. This looked like her Twilight. She had the same lavender coat from the show, the dark purple pupils in her eyes, the sparkling cutie mark. What made Lauren more aware of her creation was that she didn’t seem as happy as she did normally. In fact, she was upset. Twilight seemed gloomy rather than her normal serious way.
“No time to explain, Lauren” Twilight said, frantically. “We’re late!”
“Late? Twilight, how are you even here?” Lauren asked as she got up from her chair to see the Alicorn closer.
But Twilight had already begun to run in a certain direction. “We’re late! We’re late! For a very important date! No time to explain how or why! We’re late! We’re late! We’re late!”
Lauren didn’t know what to do, but from the looks of it, it seemed very urgent. Getting herself together, she chased after the lavender mare. She chased her through the halls of the building, trying her best to keep up with the princess. If Twilight was using her wings, she may have lost her by now. Finally, Twilight opened a door to an empty office. Lauren was uncertain of what to do. She looked around to see if anyone was following. Luckily, no one was.
“Lauren!” Twilight called from the door and Lauren followed her.
Twilight led Lauren to a hole in the middle of the office. It was dark and deep. So it that Lauren couldn’t tell how far it goes.
“Um, Twilight…” she tried to call to the mare, but Twilight already jumped down the hole.
“TWILIGHT!” she called out. She was scared whether or not this was real. A part of her wanted to leave. But another part told her to jump in after her. Lauren was scared of what may happen. But Twilight was her creation and somewhat child. Swallowing her fear, Lauren jumped into the dark abyss.
She screamed at the first few seconds of falling down and opened her eyes to see various things clinging to the walls. They included clocks, books, tables, chairs, and even necklaces. How they got there was what she’d probably never know. Finally, Lauren landed on a mattress at the bottom with a pomf. It was a soft landing and she was glad that she was alive but where was Twilight? She looked around and saw that she was now in a hallway full of doors.
She then got up from the mattress and tried to tug on the doors. She tried to open every door but they wouldn’t budge. Twilight has got to be in one of these doors, it’s only a matter of opening the right one. She was beginning to give up when she found that she couldn’t open any of them. Taking a deep breath, she noticed a small key on a table nearby. She took it and began to fiddle it with every door. She tried it on the last one: a very small door that she couldn’t get through. It had a symbol on the front, a red bottle of ink and a quill, beside a crown.
She looked around and found a small bottle filled with a purple liquid. The cap looked like a snowdrop flower, and the bottle was a sunset orange. The tag on it read only two things, “DRINK ME’. Lauren was unsure of this, but if it meant finding Twilight, she had to take it. Taking a small sip from it, she noticed that it made her suddenly shrink. She hurried to the door, but she forgot that it was locked again and she left the key on the table. She tried climbing, but the rails were too slippery.
She suddenly found a small box. Curious, she opened the box and it showed that it had a small cake inside. Its main color was lavender and there was a candy shaped like a snowdrop flower. Two words were written by the sunset-colored icing on top, ‘EAT ME’.
Well, things can’t get any worse and it’s just a cake, Lauren thought.
Taking a nibble from the small piece, she had to admit it was rather sweet. When she looked around, she found out that it somehow made it grow enormous. She was big, in fact, that she was stuck in the hallway.
Then again, maybe not.
