//------------------------------// // Chapter 0: The End...? // Story: My Unexpected New Lives as a Pony in Equestria // by SketchBPegasus //------------------------------// Chapter 0:The End...? Tick Tock Tick Tock Tick Tock... I sigh inwardly, bored in class as I wait for the bell to ring. The rain hitting hard against the window as a storm picks up. I look around as I tap my pencil on the table repeatedly, periodically looking at the face of my watch. I then look up to my teacher, who is on her phone most likely not even paying attention to her students. Groaning, I lower my head onto my desk thinking to myself, 'When is the bell going to ring?!' As I mentally curse at how long the bell was taking, I felt a slight nudge on my left shoulder. Looking up, I see it is my good friend Gordon. He's an alright lad, a bit on the eccentric side, though he means well. "Hey Sketchy, what do you think about this?", he says as he shows me his drawing. I look unto the sheet of paper, examining his drawing with a critical look. It was of a green and brown buff looking pegasus, wearing a strange looking armor. To his right was a normal blue pegasus who kind of look thin and feminine with a brown mane and tail smiling and giving the aforementioned pony a hoof bump. Everything looked perfect, except... "It looks nice," I commented "Though I think you forgot your character's other ear." "What? No way!", He exclaims then checks his drawing, seeing that he did forget his character's other ear, he groans and starts drawing it in. I chuckle as I look to him, smiling at his reaction. "You know, it does look really good. Maybe one day you'll be a famous brony artist." "Really?" He asked. I nod and gives him a sincere look. "Heh, thanks man. That means a lot." "It's no problem bud," I say as I look towards the window then grimace. "Eh, looks like I'm walking in the rain.." "Ah, sad man. Eh, won't be that bad right? Don't you just live like two blocks down from school?" I nod, he was right. If I run, maybe I won't get too soaked. As I was about to respond the bell miraculously rang right just then. Most of the student suddenly stand up and rush out the door quite fast, despite the teacher's wishes. I look back to my friend, though I find that he was one of the others who had rushed out as well. I sigh and packed up my stuff before getting up and leaving, waving goodbye to my teacher. I walk alone towards the exit of school, putting my hoodie up as I prep myself for a wet lengthy run. Once at the edge, I look out, sigh, then sprint as fast as I could, running past other students rushing into their cars and running towards the gate. As I reach the door of the gate, I grab onto a pipe and spin myself to the left, running on the sidewalk, passing by many other students. I swerved, quick stepped, and hop to the side as I run by a lot of the other students; doing my best to not slip and fall on the slippery sidewalk as I ran as fast as I could. As I was soon heading towards a four way I tried to slow down my pace. I almost succeeded until I reach near the end of the sidewalk where I slipped and then tripped over myself, sliding into the middle of the road. I groan as I look up towards the sky groggily. The clouds slowly start becoming darker as the bright flashes of lightning and sounds of thunder becomes more frequent. HONK HONK As the sound of a car horn blares, I swing my head to my left and saw a car coming fast. I tried getting up quickly as fast as I could to get out of the way as whoever is driving the car slams on the brakes, the car skidding and sliding on the road still. I slip back down and looks over to the car that was still coming in fast . With fear, anger, and sadness; I yell out and blocked my face with my arms in a futile effort to protect myself as it seems all too late. “Please goddesses no!” I screamed before I heard a loud bang and everything turns white.
