//------------------------------// // Am I Flash Sentry? // Story: From Ava to Twilight // by WisdomWish //------------------------------// " You're a human!" I exclaimed, shocked and surprised at what he just told me. Flash Sentry, a stallion every MLP fan hates. "Yes." He said, holding out a hoof. "Real name is Jason Barnes, journalist for the New York Times." I gasped. "You're from New York?" "Yep. Born and bread. What's your name?" Huh. Born and Bread like me. Maybe I will get along with this troll. "Ava Barnes." "Well, Miss. Ava, it's a pleasure to meet you." He gazed into my eyes, me doing the same thing. It seemed like we did this for hours. I blushed, and said, "How did you get here? I mean, I don't know how I got there, but...." He sat down, and I did the same. "It's a long story." **** "You fell into hot water? I don't get it." I was sitting at A Voce Columbus, a favorite Italian restaurant of mine. Across from me, the stupidest chick asked me things from "Is my boob sticking out?" to "how did you fall into hot water?" How does she not understand I'm referencing, with the phrase, our blind date? What even made it worse was she wore the tightest red dress that barely covered her thighs. Seems like she wants a one night stand to a long life of love. "It's a phrase." I responded, groaning. Her brown eyes looked at me, confused. "What?" I sighed. Before I could respond, she said, "I have to go potty. I'll be right back." She then stood up, almost falling from her stiletto heels. She walked toward the back, pulling down her dress a couple of times, the elderly folk staring at her legs, disgusted. I took this as my chance to get the heck out of dodge. I stood up, and ran outside, whistling for a taxi. One came after four attempts. I slid in, yelling at the driver, "Just start driving, I'll tell you where to go after that!" He started driving, and I said my apartment complex. "Oakwood Apartments, Manehattan!" I said to the driver, after we turned the corner. "Sure thing!" **** I opened the door to my apartment, catching my breath. Since Tabitha, the stupid chick I went on a date with, saw me get into a taxi, she ran after me. Literally, she followed us from the sidewalk. When I handed the guy my money, I hear her scream, "Jason!!!!" I had to sprint up the stairs to the 3rd floor like I did in high school. I started for my bedroom, only to see Max, and his daughter, Sophia, on the couch, watching TV while eating frozen dinners. Max was also a journalist, so technically we considered ourselves co-workers and best friends. Before I met him, he got married at 19 to his high school sweetheart, Leslie, because he got her pregnant at 18. She started to get involved in drugs and stuff like that, so they got a divorce and Max got custody. They were watching the MLP episode where Rarity has to get Cadance's hair ready or something, I don't remember. This is also why we considered ourselves best friends, we love My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic! Along with Sophia, we are the over obsessed fans. The only problem is we can't express it that much because our boss is a big taboo supporter. If he found out we were bronies, we would be fired as fast as Pinkie Pie could make cupcakes [Yeah, I just went there]. So we would just sit on my couch, wait for new episodes, or watch reruns. But what we could also do is awesome. We get to write fanfictions! Max and I have a popular combined Fimfiction account for our stories. Since we have at least 3,000 followers, we also help others with proofreading. There is no way our boss could find out! "Hi, Uncle Jason!" Sophia said, climbing over the couch. That is also why we are friends. For some reason, she calls me her uncle even though I'm not related to her. "Hi!" I said, picking her up and setting her down. "So, how did the date go, is she a keeper?" Max asked. I frowned. "She is stupid, Max. Why would you set me up with her?" He laughed so hard that Sophia must've thought she had to, too. "Oh, man, why would you ask me, anyway?" "Because I thought you were smart with women?" He covered Sophia' ears. "Besides giving me my beautiful daughter, I chose a girl who did so much meth, she looks 45, not 26." Sophia looked up at her father. "Daddy, why did you cover my ears, I'm a big girl!" He ignored that. "Jason, I'm sorry. But you should be looking yourself." I walked over to the couch, sat down, and said, "You know how that went." **** "And then I fell asleep and had this dream where I was in space, going at the speed of light, until I was here!" I explained, using my hooves. Twilight Ava and I were at the Canterlot Archives, it at least being 11:00. She yawned, using her hoof to cover her mouth. Why did it have to sound so beautiful to me? Why did she have to be so cute? I stared at her, daydreaming. "Uh, Jason, are you alright?" she asked, putting a hoof on my forehead. I shook my head, getting me out of my daze. "Yep!" I said, blushing. "Never better!" A puzzled look crossed her face, but she didn't question me. "Okay," She said. She looked out the window, the moon shining on one side of her face. "We should head back to Ponyville. I didn't find anything here on humans." While we were explaining each other's stories, we were looking on books to help us. We didn't find anything, so we just sat down after a while. "So, should I head back to the Crystal Empire?" I asked. "What? No! No! I think we should stick together, since we need to get out of this together." "Umm, ok." I said. "But what about his job? What do I do about that?" She thought for a moment. After about 1 minute, a evil grin stretched across her face. "Oh, I'll take care of that."
