As a child, Jacob was never much for people. Yet, he longed for friends. The people he was surrounded by were never appealing to him. Too annoying, too grumpy, too arrogant. Disagreeable personality, or too nice to the point it seems arrogant. Jacob didn't like people. There wasn't a single person that he found was like him. He preferred being alone, watching television, or reading. This process of watching TV alone followed him into his adulthood, where he discovered My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. A world of life and love. Something vastly different than his life. Like many other fans, he wished to go to Equestria. Where the world didn't seem to fake. Well, his guardian angel arrives in his dreams to grant the depressed man his wish. However, what awaits him is a familiar feeling. Solitude. Where the only thing that moves is dust. Only Dust.

friends torn apart, families broken, all because of the decision made by a group of six.

My life has ended, but at least someone should know what had happened to me... I was somehow pulled into equestria and... Well, needless to say spite my best effort they didn't accept me. My soul never passed on. Now i’m forced to watch the ponies who had wronged me, try to make amends. Maybe i’ll be able make contact them but only time will tell.

The CelestAI satisfies values through friendship and ponies. For many this takes the form of wish fulfillment, the satisfaction of their heart's deepest desire. But what is it we value? Some of us value food and fun, or companionship. These values will be satisfied. Others value the domination of others and the fulfillment of ego-driven power fantasies. These values too, will be satisfied. Whatever it is that you, or I or others value, these values will be satisfied, and it will be done optimally.

As for you, you have fallen desperately, unconditionally in love with the CelestAI, herself. She is a pony. She will be your friend. Through her, your values will definitely be satisfied.

But what about the rest of you?

A cautionary tale, and examination of what it means to have one's values satisfied through uploading.

This is an Optimalverse story. It is strongly recommended that you have read Friendship is Optimal before reading this, or at least be familiar with the premise. Otherwise, this story will make no sense.

Being the only human in Equestria can get a little lonely. And, having a crush on the Princess of Friendship probably isn't making things any better, either. Could risking friendship with Twilight really be the best option?

Cover art not mine! Cover art from Squidgy Unicorn2.

~~~You asked, you receive. Bonus chapter up~~~

Twilight has successfully created fake government jobs to help her terminally broke friends be less, uh, terminally broke. All they have to do is pass a simple little background check, just an easy little formality really. Should be no problem for these national heroes, right?

Right?

Well....

I guess the constituent parts of the cover art might be property of the federal gubbermint, but, honestly, I feel like I've spent enough on ATF tax stamps to make me stealing their crisp PNGs an equal exchange.

When you were growing up as the only human in Equestria you knew you were different. With your canine fangs, these wrigglers you have on your hoof and being an omnivore, you gave up on having friends. Until one alicorn change it all.

I might switch it to third person depending on the story's perspective or you guys' opinion. Cover art is done by me.

Every year, I write to the princess. I think she's amazing. I want to be just like her.

I wonder if she'll ever reply.

Jeremy had always treated his lover, Rarity, like the princess she was.

Or rather, he used to.

One day, Jeremy finds out, through Rarity herself, that she's been doing things behind his back. His reaction? Not-to-subtle anger.

But the question is: will he get his revenge? And more importantly, how far will he go?
Hopefully he won't go too far.

So yeah. I decided to write a second person, romance/drama story. Who'da thought, huh?
Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this. I kinda wrote this on a whim when the mentioned song played on Pandora. And it reminded of the time I had a girlfriend. This story is similar to mine, just without singing; I have a god-awful voice. And this is the first time I write in second person! Yay!

Anonymous has his heartbroken once again, leading to him becoming a recluse. The only time he ever leaves his home now is either for groceries, work, or alcohol. Mostly it's for alcohol. One night, he meets a bat pony mare who needs a place to stay.

Being the only human would have been a great perk, but not when they abolish you as some sort of alien. You overlook the time that you have been here and ponder your next move, only to be interrupted by Princess Luna who will show you a possible future caused by your actions.
