(N/A: Sup everypony who seems to be liking my story so far~ (Glad to see that someone's actually reading it and thinks its great XD) I should be pretty free this week to write a few more chapters that will be a bit longer than they usually are or type more chapters.Although, the only reason they're so short is because I usually don't have too much time and I was intending on just making these chapters short for the small time casual readers. Just let me know if you'd like for me to extend them.Well here's chapter 5 *AS SEEN ON TV* with double the flutters to increase sales so i hope you all enjoy~

Oh hey!!! are there any artists with the free time and who possibly like me enough so far to be willing to draw for me? I'd like pictures in here.... maybe... if possible *fluttercry*....The First Human in Equestria fanfic had some of its own music and artwork...so.. it was kinda awesome.... T^T)

I was starting to feel strange in this forest, now of all times. I didn't notice but the forest seems different somewhat even though its looks never changed. Its beautiful blanket was still there and covered everything. It was just the feeling of being there. Maybe it was because I thought no one else knew about this place which might've made it seem special to me? It was as if I was going into a public place despite all of the furry citizens who lived here. It just didn't feel like my "safety zone" anymore and I'm sure there has to be someone out there who knows that feel. Well at least I didn't have to work today or else I would've had to come some other time I guess. The cold wind started to pick up a bit and I was beginning to crave bacon. It blew into my face, making me regret not bringing any goggles. I pulled my hood down a bit further and continued my Pokemon journey without my favorite Lucario and Cunthole Steve Pokemon trainers. This trail looked like something you'd find in a winter themed postcard or a winter themed wallpaper that would even fill a person who hated nature with FlutterWonder. The trees covered most of the trail, being mostly evergreens and all, and there were only small openings for the light to pierce through. I took my phone out and took three pictures, wishing that an animal would show up so it would be like a game of Pokemon Snap or Dead Rising without the zombies so pretty much Rising or just a day in the life of photographer Frank West. And without my trusty manikin torso I don't exactly know how I'd fair off against those zombies anyway unless this were Resident Evil or something. 

Anyway, I came up to a small pond with stones in it and just stood there.

"GET FIRED UP FOR MOST EXTREME ELIMINATION CHALLENGE!!!"

"Hello,I'm Vic Romano and sitting next to me as always is Kenny Blankenship."

"LET'S GET STARTED!!!"

"DAMN IT BRAIN!!!"

".... God, If I could punch my brain I probably would", I silently thought to myself while holding in a laugh caused by the MXC reference. With ease, I hoped over the stones that sat in the small pond which made a noticeable trail made by only a few flat stones and didn't end the long way leading to  the other side of the pond itself, but across the thinnest area of which both sides were just about three to four feet away from each other. I couldn't think of the name of it at the time but it was pretty much the waistline of the pond. "I guess it was for pickup trucks or something; I mean the entire trail itself is pretty wide", I thought while I continued walking after making it across the partially frozen trail.


I felt my stomach trip and my heart bend over to see if he was ok. I wanted to find out whether or not this person really was a friend or if this was just some kind of prank. I ignored my feelings and continued. I broke into a sprint to make it through those turns and curves, those descending hills, and those dastardly ascending hills. The shack was sitting right there a few yards away from me. The rest of the trail went into another direction but there was an opening in the great wall of trees that still the size for a pickup truck khan climb and make its way through. I took a few steps back, yelled "beep beep", and ran up the slope slipping a few times before I hit the top which I had to dive for to prevent myself from actually falling back down. I got up and brushed myself off, then walked up to the office. "Well I'll be damned, I'd make a pretty good ice climber", I thought with out a rope, thick Eskimo coat, or a pick axe in my hand. I also can't freeze others or shoot ice so that's another thing I guess. I just about made it when another gust of wind flew by and pecked my cheek that somehow managed to make me shiver for a few seconds making me wish I also brought my Aperture Science scarf for my spine or just a hug from Fluttershy... either or would've done fine. I decided to take my small  note pad down and jot down:

December 19th, 2012

Well I was told to come to this office like place by a "friend" who wants to meet me and I made it. I know it's a few days till Armageddon (sorry to the children who were looking forward to Christmas this year) but if someone does find this note pad then I am more than likely dead.  

And with that I used the two notes I received from anon and crafted a book mark for that page then stuffed the new item back into my bag. Now that that was taken care of, I took my knife from my hood and hid it within my sleeve feeling like a sharp dresser. And with Fluttershy on my side I reached for the handle of the door to the one story building. Although, right when I almost touched the doorknob I was reminded of that dream. I threw hesitation's ass out the window as I slowly, but sure enough, opened the door.

There wasn't anyone there. Just chairs that were either empty or broken and horribly dusty. There was a small receptionists desk in the front made entirely out of gilded doorknobs. 

Ok, obviously I'm joking about it being made entirely out of gilded doorknobs...I just wanted  to laugh.

It was an average looking one just  twenty percent dustier. Beside the door were concession machines such as Pepsi coolers and snack machines which were empty. What seemed to be the Head's office was down the hallway along with a door labeled freezer and a few other office doors. I walked back to the head office, still undecided on what kind of office this was, and opened the door. There was a dinosaur of a computer being itself on a desk with a desk chair behind the desk. I wasn't gonna hate but that was some pretty soft hardware. I decided to sit in the desk chair behind the desk and light a cigarette in disappointment. As I took my first breath, I took Fluttershy and sat her in my lap. I kind of just sat there for an hour and pondered about nothing when suddenly, I decided to explore this place a little more with Fluttershy. I stuffed her in my hood, tucked under my neck and walked to the first door from the left, which was the freezer. 

It was actually kind of dark in there. There was no light, it smelled, and there wasn't really much in there. I closed the door and entered the room behind me which led me to a break room. I looked around only to find a really old microwaving, some broken glass, graffiti, panties, and beer cans. I closed the door with even more disappoint and found another door that was skinner than the rest. Curiously I opened it and discovered a ladder leading up and decided climb up it. When I was already a few inches away from the ground I realized something; the building only has one floor. I decided to slide down but a force shot me shot me or pulled me up into darkness.
