I was in college, and that didn't surprise anyone. I had always loved to learn. Being only sixteen? Yeah, that made my social life a little tense. Abandoning a human's need to be with their own kind? Even more so. I spent my days in my room, playing games and watching ponies.
Since I didn't know anyone, I had no one to be embarrassed around , and I had no problem buying pony-related merchandise. Before long I found myself with two small stuffed ponies. I talked to them as though they could hear me, and in my mind, they talked back.
It wasn't healthy, but it helped me keep from getting seriously depressed, and I thought that was all that mattered. Soon, I decided I didn't want other friends, and that my imaginary pony friends were enough to live by.
However, one day everything changed, and for better or worse, there was no way back.
