Lies and friends

by Discord The Narrator


You have to believe!

The next day, I got up from my bed. I had a notification on e-mail. It seemed like someone sent me a message while I was sleeping.

I opened it, and it said: "Hello, you may not know me, but I do know you. It looks like your problem with your best friend doesn't want to get solved, but don't worry, I have some way for compensating..."

Before reading more, I looked at the signature. It was an anonymous one. I didn't recognize it, but I kept reading.

Suddenly, when I finished, one idea was inside my mind. A really interesting idea. Something related to my friend Shawn, Hollywood, famous people, movies...

If Shawn went to Hollywood for a chance, I would give that same opportunity to anyone else on this city...

Even if I had to throw some little lies...

It was going to be perfect...

And I knew just the place to start...

________________________________

I came to the campus and enrolled myself there. The students were already looking at me, a gorgeous girl with long brown hair and precious clothes, as if I was a real movie star.

The classes I had were History, Arts, Music, Math, Gym... But I didn't have any of those "ponies" as classmates (except at Arts, where there was someone with pink fur drawing a good set of funny things, like she had a party inside her head or something).

Anyways, I was acting all the time like I was famous so no one suspected other thing.

At free time, on the backyard, my lie had extended to every corner of the campus, so there were a lot of students (humans and anthros) surrounding me for selfies, autographs and those things.

Whenever someone asked me where I came from, I always answered: "I came right from Hollywood." They loved all that came from Hollywood, from movies to actors and actresses.

My plan was going well. I just had to keep faking my "popularity" until the end. Then, the trap would be set.

________________________________

A few days later, a lot of people on the campus believed in me, so I got the trap.

Using some maps on the Internet, I sent them a message saying that Hollywood had chosen Western Australia to record a new film there. I included some map coordinates of the place so they could see it.

It would be good...

At the campus, they looked at me with confusion on their faces.

"Are you sure they chose that desert? Aren't the coordinates wrong?"

"Don't worry, it is that place. It's just that they want to do a film with cowboys, trains, pistols and that," I said. "By the way, do you have costumes?"

At that moment, their faces were priceless. They LOVED the idea of being part of the film. No matter if some of them were anthro ponies. I didn't have any problem.

Well, not so fast. There was ONE problem.

There were six students away from the rest of us, looking at me. Did they suspect something? It could be that.

The most curious thing about those six is that all of them were already transformed into anthro versions of ponies.

But I was going too well on my plan to think about what would happen...

________________________________

The day of the "movie"

I told everyone at what time they had to be on the scenario, at the coordinates. But, when that day came, I got up earlier so I could go and prepare things.

I had a good breakfast and then, getting in my car, I went right to the desert.

There, I took quite the time to prepare some buildings so it would seem a Western film. I even put the Sheriff's place, with a jail big enough for a lot of people, but with a weak door.

Now, the "weak door" detail was because I didn't want to kidnap them. I did want to... trick them.

Some time later, I heard a lot of cars far away from the scenario, so I went to welcome them.

There were those fools, each of them dressed as a cowboy, cowgirl, bandit or other character, with toy pistols on their hands.

I didn't see those 6 anthros anywhere, so I thought they just didn't want to come. Meh, more for us.

"Welcome, everyone! I have the scenario ready for all of you! Come with me!"

Humans and anthros followed me to where the Western town was. When they saw it, a loud "oooooh" could be heard.

"I always wanted to be in one of those towns!" said one of them.

"There it is! You can practise for the movie if you want," I said.

And they surely did. Everyone was enjoying their time, but some of them asked where the cameras were. They didn't see anything related to the movie at all.

Convincing them that the producers were on their way, that was enough info. They would know the rest when the moment came...

________________________________

I spent the day taking photos to everyone. Humans and anthros had a lot of fun as they got photos posing, shooting at each other, even making a "Saloon brawl"!

When I finished, I told them I had to send the photos to the producers, to see their opinion about them. So I got away, waited some time and then reunited back with them, faking confusion on my face.

"Is something wrong, Sarah?" asked an anthro student.

"Yeah, tell us," said another one.

"The problem is that they didn't like the photos," I said.

"And why do they say that?" asked some guy.

"Because they think that pony-cowboys would be a really stupid idea for a movie, so they want ONLY human cowboys."

"What!?"

At that moment, humans and anthro-ponies were talking all at the same time, very angry because what was happening.

"This is not fair!"

"Yeah, say that to those Hollywood producers!"

"Good idea! We could go there!"

"They won't do any other movie after this!"

So basically, thanks to me, everyone wanted to go right to Hollywood and start ruining things. Ideas like breaking filming scenarios and chasing every single producer related to the "Western movie" were flying between them.

Maybe I would need some popcorn to enjoy the show...
