//------------------------------// // Crash into Equestria // Story: Total Burnout // by Riften //------------------------------// "TYLER! GO TO BED IT'S 2:30!" Yep, yet another night refusing to sleep, I think at this point im at about 2 or 3 three days. Not really sure which one, it's all kinda one big day for me. "Yeah, in second ma! im doing something important right now!" No I wasn't. "Hurry it up, you've got five minutes. OK?" I just sat there and rolled my eyes finishing up my ""Important work"" "Yeah, ok, whatever. I'll just turn it off now." I shut my laptop and plopped onto my bed. I guess that was enough to get her out of here, she walked out turning off the light as she walked out. "Goodnight." I layed there without a response. I sat there in the dark for a little while waiting for my mom to fall asleep. Thank god she snores. I could hear her through the walls, a low wheeze droning through the house. Thats enough time waiting. "Jesus, finally she out." I slowly hopped out of my bed and sat back down on my couch, flipped the TV on, turned the volume down and opened my laptop back up. There it was, my ""Important work"". It was a Photoshop page covered with my new OC, been working on this amazing being for days, and now to add my own finishing touches to him. All that remained left to do was the cutie mark and the markings on his wings. So far he's turned out pretty damn cool looking, He stood tall and proud with a dull faded grey coat, short cropped up hair, a dull red at the base getting brighter at the tip, and deep gold eyes. "God you look awesome." I couldn't help but praise myself for my awesome work. "Now, for the finishing touches...." I peeked over at my clock, it read 5:41. "Damn, two hours..." It was done. Finally after several sleepless nights hes finished. Over those two hours I skillfully crafted his new cutie mark, A dark meteor lookin' thing with a swirling trail of fire behind it. And on his wings, A pair of faded hot rod flames, you know, just for flair. "Wow, Hehe, you really do look awesome. But your missing one last thing my friend, you need a name." I sat there squinting my eyes at the screen hoping that would give me some insight on what I could name this marvelous creature. Seconds turned to minutes, minutes turned to more minutes and then finally something struck me. I entered my chosen name in the save as bar and closed up my laptop. "There, days of work finally done. I cant say that could have turned out any better." I lazily stood up and sat back down in my bed for my well deserved rest. Finally, now I can sleep. Yeah right. There it was, the familiar darkness that comes with sleep. It felt sooo good after days of no sleep. But there was something else there, along with the darkness, something sorta whistley sounding. Sorta like the way things sound when they fall in cartoons. There was something else too. Other than the sound. There was this weird tingly sensation, that feeling you get when you feel like your falling, and even weirder a slight burning sensation. It kinda hurt, thats weird. Your not supposed to feel pain in dreams? The feelings, all of them were getting stronger, more noticeable. I tried to open my eyes but I couldn't, it was like something was keeping them from being opened. Something that kinda felt like...wind? No, that cant be right. That dosn't make any sense. I can feel something else too. Somethings on my back, Two somethings are on my back. They almost feel like another set of arms, but lighter, really light. I can roll over, yeah, that will do it. Get this wind(?) out of my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes. Now realizing my situation I attempted to let loose a violent yell. Yeah, not going to happen. I saw them, I had hooves, I had wings. I had MY wings, The OC I had finished that night, I now seem to be embodying him. If I wernt a brony Id be having a panic attack right now. Scratch that, I still am. You know this would be really cool if I weren't plummeting toward the ground at terminal velocity. Wait, I have wings, That means I can fly, right? Oh god I hope I can fly. I can actually start to see features of the ground. Come on, I can do this, I HAVE to do this. FLY, FLAP, MOVE! Come on! Maybe If i just flail every single muscle I have? Yeah, lets do that. I can feel them move, I can feel them stretching out against the wind, catching on it and slowing me down. Good, its a start. Now just FLAP DAMNIT. I can see the ground clearer now, I can see a town. Oh god its Ponyville. I think, kinda hard to tell falling this fast. Come on dude! Just move your wings! Yeah, YEAH! Like that! Oh my god, I might actually survive this! I can feel my self slowing down now, the ground slowly growing closer. Where do I land? OH GOD WHERE DO I LAND?! Wait, HOW DO I LAND! This is it. Im going to die. Im going to die in Equestria. Im going to die as a pony. D: There I was helplessly flailing in the air, When suddenly a thought occurred to me. Im going to hit the ground, Im going to splatter all over the place. Thats no fun, leave a mess for everyone, er' everypony. I wounder how fast I can hit the ground? Not die as a splatter, but as a crater. Yeah, that sounds cool I guess. I turned my head down and did my best to fold in my wings, At least I got that part down. I could feel myself picking up speed. I was looking straight down now, right below me seemed to be a big long row of trees, Im guessing either Sweet Apple Acres or the Everfree Forest. Wow, I am going really fast, My lips gave now parted and my hair (mane?) seems to be blown in place behind me. Something weird happening though, shouldn't I be really cold? You know from falling this fast? Because Its getting really hot here. A few seconds past as I pondered my situation before the unexpected happened. I burst into flames. Yeah, thats pretty awesome, but you know what? I kinda hurt. I was now a pony meteor. Meteor... I did my best to look back at legs, and sure enough there it was. Right there on what I guess I now call my flank was A meteor and trail of fire. Holy Crap thats awesome. Oh yeah, thats right, the ground-
