//------------------------------// // The Beginning // Story: My Life With Fluttershy // by Warriorman10 //------------------------------// It was a normal day at work for me. I filled out the paperwork i needed to and filed it in it's appropriate place. this was pretty much what i did every day unless i got a call to look at a band that the company was interested in. if you haven't guessed yet, i work for a record label. i am what is called a scouter. if the label hears about a band that might be good, they send me out to give them a listen to and meet them and bring back my decision on them. so that's exciting, but a lot of the time, it's just doing paperwork and running errands. which isn't all that bad i guess. it pays really well. so i can't complain. but as for today, it seemed that it was dragging on. i looked down at my watch and saw that it was 11:30. "yes! time for lunch!" i thought in my head. i went to the mini fridge in my office and grabbed my lunch from home and headed out the door. i headed to my usual lunch eating spot. It was a park not too far from the building i worked in. i enjoyed going down there and enjoying the scenery and to people watch. people watching was always rather amusing to me. you see a lot of odd and interesting characters in East L.A.. i left my building and headed to the park. it was only a five minute walk and it was a beautiful day outside. i threw in my headphones and looked through my phone for something to listen to. i came to me My Little Pony playlist. i thought to myself "it's been a while since I've listened to this." i pressed the random button and giggle at the ghosties came on. it was probably one of my favorite PInkie Pie songs. i came to the park and walked to my usualy bench, all the while singing along to the music in my head. because come on, most people would think it a little weird if i was walking through the park singing pony songs. i got to my bench, sat down and started pulling out my lunch. i thought that i had a pretty good lunch today. i packed it myself. i had a bologna and pepperjack cheese sandwich, some cool ranch Doritos, some trail mix and a Pepsi to wash it all down. As i started on my sandwich i began my daily ritual of people watching. like i said, i enjoy seeing interesting people and things around the park. i usually saw something new everyday. today as i was watching i noticed six girls sitting on the edge of a fountain in the middle of the park. i watched them for a bit and thought to myself, "man i wish i wasn't so shy.. i would so go up to them and talk to them. but no.. i have to be a pussy and let my fear of rejection get in the way." i was rather disappointed in myself for being this way. but i had always been this way. i was never good at talking to girls. been that way for as long as i can remember. as i was watching the girls talk to each other, i noticed that they looked somewhat familiar. i couldn't place my finger on it, but i was sure that i had seen if not one of them then all of them somewhere before. while i was trying to think of where i might know them from i spaced out and got lost in my train of thought.
