//------------------------------// // Chapter One: Worn out, half-asleep...what's this? // Story: Always and Forever! We are PonyLoid! // by Ditzy_P0N-3 //------------------------------// An extremely bored and tired Hatsune Miku sat at her Mac desktop in her dimly lit bedroom, surfing the web, desperate to find something interesting. She had tried searching topics such as "Funny Facebook updates" or "Weird things on Google Earth" to try and amuse her, but nothing worked for the virtual star. Her singing practice with Rin and Luka and the others was finished for the day, and her voice was extremely worn out, as well as her head and her eyes and, most importantly, her brain. Miku yawned and sighed, staring at the YouTube home page, her head rested on the desk and her bored finger scrolling down the wheel of the mouse. None of the featured videos looked interesting. Some weird pranks and music videos and... My Little Pony!? How on Earth did THIS get featured!? The video was wedged in between a PewDiePie one and a trailer for a new video game and was simply titled, "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic". The thumbnail was happy and cheerful and showed six cartoon ponies, bunched up in a group, all with delighted faces. One had a purple body, an indigo and pink mane that was straight and curled around her neck, and a unicorn horn. She stood in the middle, and her mouth was open. Another pony sat under the purple one, and she looked shy and gentle. This pony had a light pink tail and mane with a small curl at the end, almost like on the tip of a soft ice cream cone, and a light yellow body. She also had wings, Miku assumed she was supposed to be a pegasus. Miku looked closer at the image and noticed that they all had some kind of tattoo on their rumps. Each one was a certain design. The yellow-bodied shy pony at the front had some pink butterflies as hers, but her wing was covering a few. The next pony was standing next to the shy one and was winking, with her front left leg raised. She had three barely visible red apples as her mark, and an orange body with a blonde mane and tail that had the end tied in a ponytail. The pony also had a tan cowboy hat on her head. Above the orange cowgirl pony was a strong-looking blue one, that had wings like the yellow pony. Her mane was a rainbow design that was straight and somewhat wild. Her hoof was planted on the purple unicorn's head and she shot a fierce glance at the viewer, her mouth open in a smile. This one was Miku's favorite. To the left of the blue pegasus was a cheerful pink pony with crazy, curly, darker pink hair. She joyfully gaped at the viewer with her eyes wide open and her hoof in the air. The last pony looked beautiful and radiant. She was a white-bodied unicorn with a dark purple, curly (But not as curly and wild as the pink one) mane. She lightly smiled and had three blue diamonds as a cutie mark. Miku stared at the video. It had no date, no username, and no description. How was this possible? Curiously, Miku slowly dragged the cursor and clicked on the strange video. Upon clicking on it, the entire page turned blank as Miku waited to view this odd new discovery. Just then, the screen turned pitch black. Grumbling, she lazily shifted out of her seat to turn the damn thing back on. But as she stood up, Miku felt dizzy. She leaned on the chair, her shaky hand on her forehead. The world bounced here and there, and spun like a top. As Miku stepped back, she gave a light yelp as she tripped and fell flat on her bed. Everything was spinning faster now. She could hear Len call out something to KAITO from downstairs. Her vision began to fade darker and darker. Miku tried to scream out, but it was too late. Everything had faded to black and was now falling into an endless void.
