I was looking right at the girls, but was not paying attention to the fact that one of the girls had gotten up from the fountain and was walking towards me. she walked up to me and said something. not sure what it was because i still had my headphones in and was still lost in my thoughts. i only came out of my stupor when she touched my shoulder. it startled me and i jumped a little. i pulled my headphones out and looked up at her. she was wearing a purple sleeveless sweater with a white long sleeve button-up underneath along with a pair of jeans. she had purple hair to match her sweater. except for a single streak of pink in her bangs that ran all the way through her hair. i was still thinking that i knew her from somewhere but just couldn't place it. she spoke as these thoughts ran through my head. "hello there. my name is Twilight Sparkle." that's when it hit me. all six of those girls looked exactly like the mane six from My Little Pony. i subconsciously hit myself for not making the connection earlier. she looked at me waiting for some kind of reply. i finally stopped thinking to myself and replied. "Twilight Sparkle? as in the pony from My Little Pony?" i asked curiously. she smiled as if she was satisfied. "yes actually! i am that Twilight Sparkle." i looked at her confused. "like you're doing a cosplay of her or you actually think that you're Twilight Sparkle?" i was hoping that she was just doing a cosplay with her friends and was trying to play the part really well. but that thought was crushed with her reply. "No. i'm the actual Twilight Sparkle." she said with a smile. i just continued to stare at her, trying to decide what i should do. "i'm sure you're having a hard time believing this, as most people would, so i am willing to show you that i am actually Twilight." she said to me like someone wanting to prove someone wrong. this peaked my interest. "really? how's that?" i said curiously. "follow me." she replied and then turned on her heels and started walking back towards the fountain.
I was trying to decide if i should follow or just ignore and go back to work. but then i thought that this too interesting to pass up. so i got up and followed her. she lead me back to the fountain where the other five girls where waiting. "girls. this is..." she indicated to me for me to introduce myself. "oh! i'm Devin." i said quickly. "this is Devin. and he is going to come with us for proof that i am actually Twilight Sparkle." the girls nodded to their leader. i looked at the girls one by one as Twilight talked. i could see that all these girls where the mane six from the show. there was Pinkie Pie with her pink hair and not being able to sit still for a second. There was Rarity, dressed in the latest fashion and looking primped as ever. There was also Rainbow Dash with her rainbow colored hair and semi aggressive look. Then there was Apple Jack. she was wearing a button up flannel shirt with short shorts and a cowboy hat. and last but not least there was Fluttershy. she was sitting on the edge of the fountain and looking down at the ground seeming not to want to make eye contact. she was wearing a yellow t-shirt with a pink skirt. i looked at her and for a second her eyes came up from the ground and our eyes met. they had only met for a second or two when she quickly looked back down at the ground blushing. "now if you will please follow us Devin, you will get what you are after." Twilight said turning to me and bringing me out of my thoughts once more. "all right." i said simply.
Twilight started walking and the rest of the girls followed in her step. Fluttershy got up quickly from the fountain and rushed to Twilight's side. she began whispering to her about something. but i didn't worry about it too much. i'm sure it was none of my business. i followed the girls into a building and up several flights of stairs. we finally arrived at a floor that when we walked in, looked deserted. i looked around some more and sure enough. it was deserted. not a single soul around. for some odd reason. the first thought to pop into my head was that i was about to get raped by six girls and then probably killed. this kind of worried me a little. seeing as this was L.A. i wasn't leaving anything to chance. so i just prepared myself for anything that could happen. the girls got into a line in front of me and looked at me. i was just stood there with my hands in my pockets, not sure what to think. finally, Twilight spoke. "as you may have already guessed from my comment saying that i am Twilight Sparkle, these other girls are my best friends and the other elements of harmony. Rainbow Dash, Apple Jack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rarity." as she listed them off, they stepped forward and acknowledged me. "and as i said, we are here to show you that i am Twilight Sparkle and now all i want to do is tell you to prepare yourself for what you are about to see. i am sure that it might come as a shock to you." she said with warning in her voice. all i could do was stand there and listen to her. not sure what to think of this whole situation. after she was done speaking, she lifted her hands in front of her. i didn't pay much attention to them until they started to glow. "this is a bit different than using my horn to perform magic, so please bear with me." she said as she closed her eyes. her hands began to glow even brighter. i started backing away from her, but seeing as i was up against a pillar in the room, i really couldn't back up any farther. her hands kept getting brighter and brighter when all of a sudden there was a bright flash of light and i lost sight of everything. when the blinding light finally cleared from my eyes, i looked around and standing right in front of me with a smoky image of a butterfly above them were six pastel colored ponies. my jaw dropped. i could not believe what i was seeing. the ponies that i had come to know and love from a t.v. show where standing right in front of me.
This was too much for me to take and i started to hyperventilate. there was no way that this could be true. all of a sudden there was another flash of light and the six ponies turned back into the girls that i had first met. i was still hyperventilating at this point and didn't know what to do. Fluttershy rushed to my side with a concerned look on her face and put her hands on my back and chest to try and help me regain control of my breathing. i looked at her and our eyes met. for some reason this had a calming effect on me. her eyes had a sense of loving and compassion and this seemed to help me calm down. once i regained control of myself i stood up straight and looked at the six girls standing in front of me. "why are you showing me this?" i asked confused. "because one of us six has chosen you." Twilight responded. "chosen me? chosen me for what?" i asked even more confused. "she has chosen you to be her mate." Twilight responded once again with a more serious look on her face. i stared at her not sure what to think of this whole situation and what i was hearing. "mate? as in boyfriend or husband?" i asked. "well i guess both." Twilight said thinking about it for a couple seconds. my jaw once again hung open in astonishment. i didn't know how to respond to this. it's not like i had a girlfriend at the time and would have to choose. to be honest, i haven't had a girlfriend in a while now. but the thought of one my fantasies coming true right now was a bit much to take in. after i had become a brony, i had always fantasized about one of the ponies coming to human world and wanting to be in a relationship with me. we'd date for a while, i'd propose and we'd get married and have kids some day. but now that it was actually happening, i didn't know what to say or think. i continued to stare at the girls with my mouth open, probably looking like a complete idiot.
