    *Based on a dream I once had, no joke, only this time, I don't wake up in my bed. "I feel like there's someone out there, someone just like me, maybe in another dimension, maybe their life is better, or could it be worse? I wish I could know, well, it's a wish, and it's based on hope. The least I can do is hope... Right? What if we switched lives? Maybe not the last one, but oh boy... How I wish."

    Uh...

    I'm not sure what to say. I don't get it. Why? What? Scootaloo?

    Is Rusty . . . insane? Is the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic television show the only thing he has to live for? Why do I keep seeing this kind of thing in stories?

    There is nothing wrong with talking to yourself.  It's when you answer that things get out of hand.

    Nothing to live for but MLP?  Such people do exist:

    How to get to ponyville/equestria?

    This may sound weird, but i really want to go

    To equestria or more specificaly, ponyville. Reason? This world is corrupted, whether it be through war, violence, or sheer stupidity that the government cant even help anyone whi needs help. There are disasters happening everyday. People whi rule this country like its a toy for them to play with. And most importantly, judgment. People judge other people like they are a movie, to like or to critisize. They even insult them constantly. But then, i watched my little pony. And all of my thoughts changed. In ponyville, there is one great ruler who is loving, caring, and resposible. The ponies there are all friendly and they all seem so... Happy.

    When i think of one place i would want to go, it would be ponyville. They dont need politics.

    They dont need wars. And most importantly... They dont resort to violence or death as an answer.

    So please. If there is any way i can get to this place,

    Tell me. I want to know.

    I have to assume that this worldview is not unique, and further, that it inevitably must find its way into stories.

    "Note to self: talk precaution over what you yell out loud and what you think about"

    I think you mean "take".

    Also, you tend to use two periods in a lot of places. If they're meant to be dots of ellipsis, then there should be three periods. If they're just meant to end sentences, then you only need one period.

    *End grammar Nazi moment.*

    Well, you've got a concept at least. I'll consider reading through it later.

    Right off the first sentence, I see you using double periods again. You really ought to make up your mind. Are they sentence finishers or dots of ellipsis? Is this a trend in the following chapters too?

    I stopped my brain process as I strolled into town, it was silent, almost void of life; Off in the distance I could see a silhouette, moving towards me.

    Okay first of all, I have to nag about that semicolon. While it is technically correct to use it between two ideas that could be complete sentences on their own, it doesn't really help connect the ideas that you're trying to connect here any better than a period would. Secondly, if you choose to leave that semicolon there, then the first word after the semicolon should be lowercased unless it is a proper name. I'm pretty sure you're not using "Off" as someone's name here so it should be lowercased.

    Next:

    With all my snooping about and such, I was starting to get really tired, on top of that, it was freezing!

    This is a run-on sentence. The first complete thought ends at the word "tired" and connecting complete thoughts with commas makes the writing look a bit unprofessional. Correction:

    "With all my snooping about and such, I was starting to get really tired. On top of that, it was freezing!"

    Now excuse me while I knock my grammar Nazi unconscious for the umpteenth time.

    *clonk*

    *sound of collapse*

    Woah! A lot happened in this chapter in such a short amount of time.

    But... how did Lyra know that you were a human if you looked like Scootaloo?

    *reads your response to Flash Drive*

    ...oh.

    "Screw the rules"? What rules? There's no rule that older boys can't have stuffed animals and blankets.

    Finally, I can't help but feel that your new sleeping spot is similar to the first chapter of this.
