Summer and Anon Showers,
I managed to snag some extra tickets for this year's Wonderbolts Derby. You two seem pretty cool, and are probably bored out of your minds in that little shitbox town, so I figured that you'd appreciate them. The Wonderbolts are the best flyers in Equestria (besides me, of course), and any friend of mine deserves to see them at their awesomest.
Rainbow Dash
"Huh." Anon eyed one of the tickets, flipping it back and forth in his hand. "That's nice, I guess."
Summer floated alongside him, craning her neck to read over his shoulder. "What is it?"
He passed her the letter. "Dash sent us tickets for that Wonderbolts thing next weekend."
"The Derby?"
He shrugged. "Whatever it's called, yeah."
"Hmm." She placed the letter on a side table. "Do you want to go?"
"I'm not sure. Honestly, it sounds like a lot of fun, and I wouldn't mind spending some more time with Dash, but … I dunno, just waltzing around in public … " Anon grimaced. "Too many ways that can go wrong."
"It's in Canterlot, right?"
His eyes returned to the ticket. "Yeah."
"We can probably stop by the castle, request an audience with the Princess." Summer absentmindedly paced the room, brow furrowed in thought. "Get to her before they do, you know? If she's on our side, the whole situation will be that much easier to deal with."
Anon crossed his arms. "You make it sound like we're at war. They're just some internet weirdos, we don't need to bring a literal demigod into this."
Summer turned to him. "Some internet weirdos who managed to find our house." She sighed and looked away, torn between defiance and concern. "The way I see it, we can't just wait around for more ponies to show up, we need to be proactive. I don't understand why you're not ... I dunno, doing something!"
"As I said before, we can't just go around poking people. Tact and restraint, remember?"
"There's a difference between moderation and cowardice."
He raised an eyebrow. "Cowardice?"
"Anon, I think that you don't want to confront this. I think that you want to sit around and pretend that everything's fine, and only deal with problems as they appear. I think that you're unsure whether or not you're even real, and if your life on Earth was anything more than a script for a foal's show." Summer frowned, ears pressed flat. "I think ... " She took a shuddering breath. "I think that you're scared."
Anon sat down and rested his chin on crossed hands. "I ... I don't ... "
She placed a forehoof on his thigh. "I love you. You know that, right?"
He nodded.
"Then you know that I only want to help. I say we go to Canterlot, watch those flyers, and have the best damn time of our lives. We're gonna take the world by the teats, and laugh in the face of anypony who says otherwise."
Anon took on a small smile, and a chuckle rang out from deep in his throat. "When you put it that way ... "
Thank Celestia it's not an invitation from Twilight.
I think they should watch the show and then use that to capitalize on the fans to get them to leave them alone.

Calling it now, The letter is from twilight, who used this as a chance to spend more time with Anon,. And/or expose his existence to a wider audience.
I'm digging Dash and Anon's relationship. Very casual and organic. Not sure if Dash is more mature in this fic (which is the vibe I'm getting from the writing) or if she's just not interested in all the baggage that comes with a cartoon come to life and takes Anon's merits as an individual as is.
Plot twist: Celestia is the world's biggest fan of the show and teams up with Twilight to try and seduce Anon.

I really hope neither of those are the truth, coz it won't be pleasant.

Double plot twist: Celestia is the one who had the show made. Seen it in one of Starswirl's mirrors and said "I'm cashing in on this!"
Helicopter Sun Mom now that she has a real little human to antagonize.

Y'all be forgetting about Luna tho.

I will never forget about Moonbutt. I am just hoping she is the sane one in all of this because Cadence sure isn't going to be.
Luna is my favorite for many reasons. I can look at her moon all i want and not have my retinas burn out like lookin at Celestia's sun. My eardrums are another story.
Unlike what most people seem to think, there's a difference between cowardice, and simple fear.
Cowardice is being met with a problem that the average person could reasonably deal with, and still be too scared to deal with.
Fear is being scared of a problem that the average couldn't deal with, and acknowledge that.
Of course there are multiple layers to each subject, since "the average" is more diverse than what can be summarized. Phobias, trauma, what you were raised to view as scary, etc.
Most people are quick to label someone else as a coward because they have a vastly different views and life experience, even though some of their own fears can be labeled as cowardly.
Let me use an example from a game called "Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls". One girl, Toko, says that it's cowardly to hide and "wait for the right time". Another girl, Komaru (in the early parts of the game), says it's completely understandable that the "resistance" are too scared to fight. Toko not only is a survivor of a despair filled killing game, and whatever an intern of FF has to deal with, but also can rely on her split personality to lend a hand if she absolutely needs it. Komaru is (as she loves to say over and over again) a completely normal high school girl (to the point were that could be her Ultimate talent). To Toko, who has actual experience pushing past her fears and fighting back (to anyone besides a certain rich boy), yes, being too scared to act is cowardly. To Komaru, who has zero experience in that field, it's completely understandable to not do what you think would just get you killed.
What Anon is dealing with is fear that his life might be ripped from his control by fans, and a company who could actually sue and take full control over him. That's not something the average person could reasonably face without being too scared to act on their own.
Sorry for the wall of text, it's just something I felt needed to point out.
I think Summer is right. They should get out ahead of this and Rsinbow's invitation gives the perfect opportunity to do so. I look forward to seeing where the story goes.

Straight from the show, itself. How can a pony not know "sodomize", yet know the word "man"?

I agree, Anon's fears are fully justified here. In fact, I think he should be more worried than he is, because on top of the fans and extremely wealthy corporation (not to mention the wealthy and powerful fans), Anon might not even have any rights to fight for in the first place. I don't think it's been mentioned at all in the story, but if he's been stuck in the half-lawless middle of nowhere this entire time, he might not have officially applied for citizenship. In fact, it's highly likely that he hasn't, because if he did, the government would have been made aware of his existence and action would have been taken sooner. Though he might also be a citizen by marriage to Summer (and for some reason never needed to fill any more paperwork than his signature on the marriage certificate), depending on how Equestrian law works. Again though, it's unlikely.
Part of me wants this story to turn into a legal drama where Anon faces off againt Haspone Studios and gets entangled in the political world as nobles take their sides on the case while pushing their own agendas.

There was another story with a similar plot like this one, but it was Luna who summoned Anon. She messed up the spell and he ended up with Lyra, so I'm thinking something along that vain happened as well.

This should be an alternate ending (if it's not the intended one :P)

Found it.

I think My Little Human is like The Office
That'd be awkward if Celestia was a humare lol
10345801
Exactly what I was thinking
10345836
Probably Luna but ehh it can happen

I was just about to say
Take the world by the tits... Nice change
Spike... Wonder if hes a drama King.
Anon, you've been on 4chan before. Heck, you've been on The Internet before. You already should know better than that. You most certainly do need a demi-god with you. Though if either of the sisters watch and like the show, you might find yourself becoming a permanent resident.
