//------------------------------// // Waking up in a new world // Story: Waking up in a new world // by finesthour //------------------------------// I was one of the kids who was into many fandoms, and the kid who just joined the crowds. I never really liked My Little Pony that much, I just wanted to be in a group that cared about each other. I tried to watch the show, and it did not stick out to me, and I did not remember the characters., but with everything else in my life.... it started to attack me. I was sitting on my bed listening to my iPod, when I realised that I left my laptop running on the floor. I carefully picked it up off of the ground, avoiding falling off the bed, like I usually do. I laid against the back wall that was on my bed and I touched the pad that acted as the mouse. “Of course” I said to myself, seeing that Mlpforums.com was opened. I laughed at myself, knowing that this fandom of mine would eventually die, and I would move on to the next bandwagon. I signed out of my page after I read my notifications, and went to my email. I saw there was only one new email. Deciding to look at it and hurry to bed, I opened up the inbox and looked to see what it was. Much to my dismay, it was a chain email. It said, “My little pony is the best thing that has happened to the world. Spread your love by sending this to 10 ponies, or something you will not expect will happen when you wake up!” I laughed at the email, and I quickly deleted it, knowing full well that nothing would happen to me. I slowly closed my laptop, and the light in my room was soon engulfed in darkness. I picked up my phone as a light, and put my laptop back on the floor. I turned off my phone and put it into the charger, and laid sprawled out on my bed. The last thought that went through my mind was, “Stupid bronies, sending me this stupid crap...” And I drifted off to sleep. Eight hours later, my alarm went off on my phone. I reached over to turn it off, and noticed something on the screen. It had low batteries! “I must not of charged it...” I thought to myself, as I put it back on my bed. Laughing at my ignorance, I went over to my dresser and began to put on my clothes. As I was doing so, I noticed something strange outside my door. There was no one talking! In the mornings, my house is usually the loudest you have ever heard, and them being this quiet was unnatural. I shook the thought away and finished putting my shoes on. I sat back down on my bed and grabbed the remote. I pressed the button to turn on the TV, but the TV did not respond. I began to get very annoyed, so I started shaking the remote, rapidly pressing the power button. The TV still did not respond. I turned the remote around to check the batteries, and they were still in them. I put the remote back on the headstand, thinking the batteries were just dead. I walked to the TV and pressed the power button myself. The TV did not respond. I began to get very angry, as I usually watch My little pony in the mornings. I shook my head in frustration, and grabbed my school bag. “Might as well head to school..” I thought as I grabbed my bag. I put it over my shoulder, and opened the door to my room. What I saw, I would never be able to describe again. Outside of my room was not the rest of my house but a hill. My bag fell to the ground as I slumped over, looking out at the great distance of the plains I was on. “Where is my house!?” I shouted outloud, shocked at what was going on. I quickly closed my door, and took a deep breath. “I am just dreaming...” I repeated in my mind, slowly losing my sanity. I opened the door again, and much to my dismay, the planes were still there. I slammed my door, and laid back on my bed. “I have got to be dreaming... this must be a dream...” I said out loud rapidly, rolling around on my bed. Suddenly, a thought came to my mind. I remembered the email from the previous night. “My little pony is the best thing that has happened to the world. Spread your love by sending this to 10 ponies, or something you will not expect will happen when you wake up!” I began to laugh on my bed, realizing how stupid I was thinking. A chain email would never actually punish you for not sending something, would it? Suddenly, a knock on his door caused me to scream. A small voice sounded outside his door. “Is anypony there...?”
