Chapter 5- Miracle
What on Earth was that? What kind of dream was this? This dream felt almost too vivid. But what was that mysterious creature? I-I can't get her out of my mind: her voice, her appearance, but what really got me, were her words: 'If you want to know me more, come meet me in this exact spot. Please don't wait too long. I'll miss you'. What was she trying to say? It felt like she was asking me to visit her in the forest where I saw her in the dream. I know its gotta be my imagination, I mean come on, 'Wake up Ellis, you were talking to a mythological hybrid'. I chuckled and decided to ignore it, as I finished waking up, feeling more refreshed and perked up than ever before. It felt good to be fully rested for once. I think I earned it after breaking my back studying for classes I'm most likely gonna fail, with the exception of Psychology. Why do I even bother then? Its not like I'm going to college or anything. Why bother? Its a waste of time and money considering I don't have anything to amount to.
My saturday started like any other saturday: I wake up, make my bed, take a shower, have breakfast, dress up, and start the day, which on saturdays consist of studying, more studying, and more freaking studying. However today I felt somewhat more relaxed, and energetic. Instead of locking myself at my house studying, I wanted to go out for a jog. I don't know why, I just... Felt like running. I felt good, I felt fit, me being the skinny loser that I am, this feeling was incredible, but I don't understand why I'm feeling it, but I digress. I went up to my room and put on a pair of running shoes, shorts and a tank top, and ran outside to the sidewalk with a very geeky smile on my face as I stared at the long and empty sidewalk. Without even saying a word, I started walking fast... As I walked, I began picking up speed and started jogging... Before I knew it, I started running all over the side walk, feeling the cool winter air breezing through my face as I ran past every house in the neighborhood. After what felt like 2 hours, I looked up, not even breaking a sweat, as I saw what appeared to be Philomena flying out of her cage. She flew below and was able to keep up with me as I ran. I immediately began to question how she got out of her cage, but I was feeling the heat of the moment, and decided to just go with it until I couldn't run anymore. I never felt this good before. It felt great to run again. I always loved running, ever since I was a kid. It was the most fun I ever had by myself whenever I had nothing good to do. It was great to be back, and it felt even greater to have Philomena on my side, seeing as how she was my only friend.
After circling the neighborhood for what felt like 4 hours, which is lesser compared to how many hours I clocked running as a child, I was tired and dehydrated. I began walking my way home with Philomena standing on my shoulder as she "cooed" softly. It sounded adorable and I couldn't help but giggle and pet her as I walked by and noticed my house nearby. I wanted to run, but I was too exhausted that I just wanted to lay down on the couch and watch a movie with my new bird. Around the other side of the road, a familiar face was walking down the road waving at me. My old friend Raul was here. I was pretty excited, because Raul and I were pretty close friends in middle school and lost contact when he moved to Orlando 5 years ago. As he drew closer, my face began to smile as he got close to me. 'Ellis buddy, how the hell are you?', he said after shaking my hand. 'Not much actually', I said to him. 'I heard about your old man last week. Nobody informed me and I wasn't aware. Sorry it took me so long to get here man', he began speaking in an apologetic tone as I lightly hugged him and spoke: 'Don't even worry about it. I'm just happy to see you again.', I told him smiling as he smiled again.
I invited him to my house for a drink and as we went inside, we began to make conversation. Its funny how we talk for like 40 minutes and he mentions nothing about the bird on my shoulder. As a joke, I decided to bring her into the conversation, 'So... Notice anything new about me?', I said in a seemingly sarcastic tone as he replied 'No not really'. I chuckled for like 3 seconds and pointed at my shoulder and spoke, 'Notice the crimson colored bird on my shoulder?', and then he said, 'What bird?'. Thats when I started laughing. 'Come on, seriously. Look at the bird on my shoulder', I said with a smile on my face as he looked at me with a serious face, 'Ellis, what are you talking about? There is nothing on your shoulder.' Thats when I looked at him seriously as well, while at the same time, talking sternly. 'Raul, seriously: look at the bird. Her name is Philomena.', I said to him trying to get him to stop joking around. 'Are you doing Acid or something Ellis? There's no damn bird on your shoulder', he said with a very confused look on his face as I got a little mad. 'Raul, this isn't funny anymore', I told him trying to snap some sense into him as he looked at me, almost terrified and took my arm, pulling me to the mirror. 'Ellis, what do you see?', he said in an almost monotone voice. 'What do I see, what do I- Its us: you, me and-', I stopped when I gasped in sheer horror as I saw literally nothing on my shoulder on the mirror.
How wonderful. Finally a human/Cadance romance, and it is a humanized story.
Why humanized?
2625291 you'll see
2625306
No I won't. I greatly dislike humanized stories, and don't read them. Plus I am sure that whatever reason you could come up with could still work with him staying a human, and her being a pony.
Good luck with all of your endeavors.
2625316 thanks. But you know, if you don't like humanized stories, don't read nor dislike em. just stay away.
2625363
I didn't read it. I just left a comment. When you click the title of a story, and leave a comment it shows as being one for the latest chapter. Not sure why.
Seraph hates humanized stories as much as I hate f/f shipping stories.
I like this story.
2625497
I'm with you on that one, bro.
2625316
I'll try writing one... I've always wanted to pair [pony] Cadence with a human...
2625731
I dare not to look at your page. For I do I will have to set little children on fire.
2625751
I thought of something like that too. Where cadence divorces shining and goes and marries a human
2625774
Or perhaps an alternate universe, where Cadence never met Shining Armor.
Perhaps we can put our heads together and come up with something?
2625801
Divorce where shining spirals into depression and commits suicide or shining tries to get revenge maybe I dont know just thoughts I have in my head where sanity no longer exists.
2625822
Insanity is good, because normal people worry me...
I shall no longer plague this story with comments, because I have beers to imbibe, and musings to attend to.
2625903
Damn right I'm an asshole.
2625751
That would be awesome.
2625801
It could even be some time in the future where he has died. Either of old age, or unnatural means like him getting killed.
2626095>>2625903>2625497 hey whatever you guys are talking about, take jt outside of comment section please
When is the next part coming out?
2630184 tonight
2630226 Sweet!
2630229 your welcome. Whatcha think of the story so far? I'm always open to comments and suggestions
2630247 It is a really good story so far in my terms. How about in the next part Alex tells them about his life and everything about humans (not including how many bloody wars we have in rl or in story since there is no specific date of when this story takes place)
2630226 crap wrong story. sorry I am reading and writing many stories at once
2630260 its Ellis. And don't worry: he explains a lot more about his life, which you'll see has a pretty stunning twist.
2630247 ok Ellis goes to the location in his dream after he has a frantic search for the bird and sees Princess Cadence and she has him make a decision on either to go with her to Equestria or stay in his world. Also how about he finds the bird at the location so two things happen at once?
2630271 surprisingly, that's kind of what I had in mind. Different but similar. I think you'll enjoy how it pieces out later at the end.
2630268 the previous comment where I said wrong story is because I am writing stories and reading stories all at once. I have like 6 writing computers up and running and 6 reading so I simply turned my cellar into a mini command center.
2630283 anyways if i send you a link to a story I am writing do you think you can give any pointers or ideas or anything to maybe help with it?
2630285 Damn. How are you doing this without knocking out the power?
2630295 absolutely. Message me whenever you want and I'll read, and even help you write. I'll be your creative consultant if you want
2630303 http://www.fimfiction.net/story/105966/title-under-work-the-peace
2630303 just copy this and put it where the website thing is where it tells you what website you are on and paste it then press enter and you should go to my story. If you have any ideas of a better title will be much appriciated.
2797081>>2797081 i love that song. My story is sort of a psycological romance. You'll see why
nice very nice i really like it
