//------------------------------// // A day to start many more // Story: Just a kid from Texas // by Funkierparty //------------------------------// I was just sitting crisscross, my back up against my pillow as I looked out the window watching the sunrise. There’s no way I could really sleep I had too much on my mind. What happened in that force just kept playing on repeat in my head. I felt aggravated that I couldn’t have done more. But still shocked that I even went through any of that to begin with and survived. There was too many close calls, too many moments where I was 1 inch away from getting myself killed. The amount of luck that went into keeping me alive really and truly scared me. I eventually heard the door open kicking me out of my thoughts. I saw it was Miss Redheart carrying a tray with food. “ Good morning Mr. Brady“ She called happily Moveing over next to me. “I brought you breakfast” she happily placed my breakfast on my lap looking at me with a happy smile. “ thank you ma’am“ I simply return the smiling want to Eating. I was surprisingly a lot more hungry than I thought. She laughed a little at the side of me scarfing down my food as if I’ve never eaten before. I realize that I got a little ahead of myself and tried to slow down my pace. I was always used to having to eat quick when I get home Because because I usually had to get to work right away. “ I didn’t realize you were this. hungry you can always ask for something to eat“ She looked a bit shocked and concerned at how I was treating my food I felt a little embarrassed. “ i’m sorry ma’am“ I looked down trying to avoid eye contact. I didn’t wanna make her upset, don’t know if I was making Her look bad at her job of taking care of me. “Oh you poor thing. there’s no need to apologize” She simply walked around to the other side of the bed checking on my arm. “ yes ma’am“ I simply allowed her to remove my bandages I’m assuming she was checking on my wound. When she did I was quite surprised most of the really bad ones I had, whether it being flesh wounds on my legs or the horrible bruises I had on my arms where pretty much almost gone just some scars which didn’t really bother me that much. “ You healed up quite nicely...sadly you might have some scars. I’m sorry....I wish we could do more about that“ “ it’s OK man just something to show off to ladies“ I left a little trying to brighten up her mood as she looked quite sad. Luckily still giggle a little at that which in return makes me a little happy. “ well I have a few things to do I’ll be close by if you need anything. so just call OK“. “Yes ma’am” She left the room to go off to do what she needed. I laid back staring off the ceiling again I was starting to memorize small individual patterns of the paint above me. I didn’t like sitting in one place for too long unless I was playing video games thin I could sit there for days straight. A few hours past no it’s beginning to get tired drifting in and out. Not sleeping at all last night kind of messed with my me a little but I just ignored it. Soon there was a knock on the door and one of the other nurses came in. “Mr. Brady are you up” she called sticking her head in around the corner. “Yes ma’am” “There’s a few ponies here that would like to meet you“ sister decide as a well almost literally a rainbow of ponies entered my room one by one. I recognize twilight out of the group of ponies that came in. “ Good morning Brady How are you feeling” Twilight asked as she walked next to my bed. “ Good morning twilight and I’m feeling pretty good” I looked around at all the other different ponies shocked by all the different colors that surrounded me “ and hello everyone”. “ i’m glad to hear. These are all my friends I wanted to give you an opportunity to-“ Twilight was immediately cut off by a pony that just kind of jumped onto my bed completely pink head to toe....or hoof. And I think she was trying to talk to me but she was talking so unbelievably fast that it just turned into incoherent gibberish. She was bouncing up and down on my bed until she just froze mid air by a purple aura and A aggravated looking twilight levitated her back down Back down to the ground. “PINKY! Calm down he’s injured” Everyone in the room kind of giggled at this. and I was kind of left speechless. “Oh I’m sorry Twilight it’s just I’m so excited to meet him” She mediately turn back around slamming her front Hoof on my bed and lean forward towards me. “Sooooooo doyadoyadoya”? “What? Do what?....what?” I was confused I don’t even know what she said before. “Well I just said silly. To my party of course you’re welcome to Ponyville and thank you for saving sweetie Belle from those big meanie dragons party” she just simply stared at me with a giant smile waiting for my answer. I leaned back a little bit kind of shocked by her immense energy. “Um.....ok?” She cheered as she bounced around The room almost uncontrollably. I was shocked by how she can move around like that in such a small room with several ponys standing in it. In orange county wearing a cowboy hat had caught her out of the air and sit her down next to her. “Now calm down sugar cube. I don’t think Mr. Brady here should be going to any parties just yet” This pony spoke with a bit of a country accent. Sounding like al lot of the people I was around back home. Twilight laughed little as she put a hoof on my shoulder “well Let me introduce you to some of my friends this is pinkie pie but you just never met her” she pointed at the pink pony I have a humongous smile on her face as she violently waved at me “This here is applejack“ Twilight pointed to the, what I now call the cow pony. Applejack walked up to me happily and offered a hoof “Howdy there partner. it’s nice to meet you“ I firmly grab her hoof gave a hoof/handshake. “ likewise ma’am“ “ And I am Rainbow Dash! fastest fire in Equestria and future wonder bolt” Is sky blue Pegasus with a rainbow mean shot in front of me in a blink of an eye sliding mirror with her...wings. “And I got to say. I think that was pretty cool how you stood up against those dragons. You got to tell me how it all went down it must’ve been awesome” she seem to lean and close getting excited to hear my explanation. To be honest I wasn’t wanting to say anything about it it wasn’t necessarily anything cool it was a do or die situation really. I wasn’t really sure what I was doing to begin with. I just kind of stared at the ground a bit awkwardly not really sure what to do “um well....you see” Luckily I was cut off by another Voice across the room “ now Rainbow Dash there’s no need to pester him on such details. I’m sure you can ask him later” A white pony with purple hair that was styled very neatly walked up next to Rainbow Dash. “Ooo and I’m ready by the way darling it is a pleasure to meet you” wow. I’ve never been called darling before I actually felt kind of nice not gonna lie. “Oh.....You too ma’am“ “ Oh and Brady I would like to let you know that I brought most of your things to my boutique as they were quite desperate need of repair. I tried my best but I have never worked on such a style of clothing before so it was quite interesting to say the least” I remember twilight saying something about her having my things I was still kind of shocked that she would go out of her way to do that. “Thank you ma’am you didn’t need to do that“ She immediately slammed her Hoof on the ground and stepped closer to me “Why nonsense darling it was the least I can do. After all you did to see if my little sister I would like to personally thank you for going out of your way to do that. I am forever in your debt” I was a bit shocked this was sweetie Belle’s older sister I haven’t really thought about little sweetie Belle and I met her once but I was kind of worried about her. “Oh so sweet of Bella is your little sister. how is she doing?” “She’s ok all thanks to you she’s at school right now but she’s really wanting to see you again“ I had a huge wave of relief hit me. as if a giant burden on my shoulder I didn’t even know I had was just gone in an instant. “ That’s really good to hear“ I just leaned back and took a deep breath knowing that I did something right. She laughed a little at this as she proceeded to walk around the front of my bed. “ and one more thing dear I took the liberty to bring your things here. I hope they are to your liking“ She proceeded to use her magic to float A bag of clothes in my backpack on the foot of my bed. I leaned forward and pulled out my jacket Out to look. It was as if it was brand new even old stains were gone. “ Thank you Miss rarity you did an amazing job it looks better than it did before I got here“ I left a little at this as I placed my jacket back down on my lap. “ Well I’m glad to hear. now I do hope I can catch you had a better opportunity To bring you to my boutique so I can have more accurate measurements. I would Really like to experiment with your style of clothing it’s quite remarkable really“ I was surprise she was willing to bring me to your work and help me get clothes. These ponies I’ve been some of the nicest I’ve been some of the nicest ‘people’ I’ve ever met my life. I conversed back-and-forth a lot of these ponies lawsuit with pinkie pie he kept asking me all kinds of questions about parties and what I did for fun, other people humans did for fun which I had to have strict answers. tried to make sure it was kid friendly answers for the more precise. As well as Rainbow Dash asked me where I got the sword from I just simply told her I found it which was the truth. I noticed another pony in the corner Mayeye she was a yellow pony with a pink mean and she seem to be hiding almost but at the same time trying to approach me? Most of the other ponies were conversing back-and-forth with each other so I took the opportunity to introduce myself to her. “Um hello there” she seem to squeak a little and hide her face behind her hair she then took a small moment to gain the courage to introduce herself as well “H..hello” she whispered to me in quite a soft voice I could barely hear her I didn’t know if she was scared of me or just very shy so I just tried to speak as friendly as I could. “So what’s your name” She gain the courage to approach me a little closer as she exposed her face bit more from behind her hire. “I’m...I’m um Fluttershy” I could barely hear her from the other ponies talking but for the most part she was understandable. “Well that’s a pretty name... It’s nice to meet you Fluttershy”I tried complementing her to let her know I wasn’t all that scary. “OH um... Thank you..... It’s very nice to meet you to Brady“ She blushed a little as she hit her face back behind her hair again. I thought this was kind of cute. it warmed my heart I didn’t get much out of her as I wanted she seemed like she had a lot to say but the rest of the girls continue to bombard me with questions which I answered as best I could. After a while the doctor came into the room catching all the pony’s attention. “Alright everypony I’m gonna have to ask you all to head down to the lobby for a bit. I Need to check on a few things with Brady here” All the ponies begin to make their way out of the room until twilight stopped at the doorway and looked over at me “ Will be waiting downstairs“ she gave me a bright smile before she left the room. “ all right now there’s a few things I want to check over with you and if everything checks out you can probably be released today” he brought up a clipboard and started walking around me looking me up and down “ Of course you’re not gonna be doing anything once you get out you gonna be having a lot of bedrest. you’ve been through a lot after all“ “Yes sir” After a while of poking me and checking vitals all that good stuff He asked me to stand up. I did as you asked and it was a bit more difficult than I thought my muscles were screaming at me. but after walking around and stretching my muscles a little bit it didn’t hurt as much. “ well sir for the most part you’re good to go. You healed remarkably fast of course there’s a few wounds that you have to keep your eye on and like I said before you’re gonna need plenty of bedrest. no running around with them girls OK son” I left a little at this as I sat back down on my bed. “ yes sir no running around” I responded giving a small salute. “ Good when you’re ready you can go ahead and head downstairs to the lobby. the nurse here can show you the way“ The doctor left the room leaving me by myself with nurse red heart next to me. I decided to try and put on my clothes however I was still a bit dirty but a blood stain on my skin underneath my bandages. It’s gonna be a little bit uncomfortable but I’ll just have to deal with it from now. I felt a pair of eyes tracking me as I walked around the room I noticed nurse Redheart still looking at me curiously. I was about to start getting dressed but I felt a bit uncomfortable having her look at me I guess I just now realize that these ponies don’t usually wear clothes unless they had to like when the doctor was wearing his outfit. “Ma’am“ I called out trying to catch her attention knocking her out of her gaze “Oh um do you need something” “Well...... can I just have a moment to myself I just need to get dressed“ She kind of looked a little bit shocked and apologized for a moment and made her way out of the door leaving me by myself. With that I begin to put on my clothes. Getting my bluejeans, my Camouflage steel toe boots, my blue shirt, and then my gray jacket. I finished off by slapping my hat on top my head and put my backpack around my shoulders. I was surprised they still had that sword I had stolen from the castle. guess they trust me that much. The sword did give me a bit of sense of security like when I would go around with my gun back home. couldn’t even sleep in my house without a gun next to me. I guess this was the next best thing. I walked out the door seeing the nurse on the other side and she led me downstairs to the main lobby. As soon as I entered a room I had to my whole vision blocked by Nothing but pink. “ oh my gosh you’re all dressed up does that mean you can come hang out with us? OH THIS WILL BE SO FUN” Thank he was all up in my face and then proceeded to jump around in circles define all of laws of physics. ‘ how in the world am I going to get used to this place‘ The rest of the girls just kind of laughed at my expression of confusion. Rainbow Dash was the first to approach me putting a hoof on my shoulder. “I see that expression almost every time pinky meet a new pony“ we both kind of laughed at this. Twilight walked up to us and caught my attention. “ So Brady what did the doctor say? are you feeling all right to walk around“ “ Yes ma’am I’ll be alright and the doctor told me to have lots of bed rest“ she seem to smile at that answer. “So does that mean we can get out of here” rainbow dash flow around in circles and seams to be anxious to leave the hospital. I can also share that same feeling. I never really liked being in the hospital for too long. “Yes sugar cube we can leave” applejack put a hoof on the back of my leg. She looked up to me with a bright smile “and i’m sure brady here would like to see a bit of the town Don’t ya think“ “Yea that would be alright” All the ponies seem to be a bit excited to leave the hospital, talking To each other trying to decide where to go first. I interrupted the group before we left “um.... one thing before we go” I walk back up to the desk Grabbing the attention of the service lady in the back. “Ma’am could you give my thanks to the doctor and nurses that helped me. they went above and beyond taking care of me“ she seemed a little shocked at words they had a bright smile afterwards. “ of course I’ll let them know right away“ and with that I walked back to the group of ponies that was about to leave out the exit. “Why that was very kind of you darling“ I blushed at rarities comment. “Well come on let’s get the show on the road” pinkie pie proceeded to jump behind me and start pushing me out the exit. I followed the girls throughout the town as they showed me all kinds of different places pinkie pie send me the most exciting and Twilight was give me the rundown of each and every building we went and what they were for. The other girls were talking amongst each other I believe about me but I didn’t really pay too much attention. I was a bit on edge. I didn’t like having so many eyes on me at once. And while in the middle of this town I had a LOT of eyes on me. I felt quite uncomfortable The looks that they gave me where of curiosity, shock, and fear. I felt bad as if I did something wrong I didn’t mean to scare some of these ponies a couple of them even ran away and hid themselves inside of their house others seem to stand their ground and noticed I wasn’t too bad...I think. It was quite an interesting experience all around. Rainbow Dash out of the group seem to be the most annoyed by our tour She kind of flew around in circles with her arms crossed over her chest and started to complain. “ Come on twilight you’ve been showing Brady all the boring places. I mean you just showed him a quill store A QUILL STORY And Gave a full rundown of it pretty sure he knows what a quill is“ This kind of made me laugh a little hearing her outburst. And Pinkie pie laughs with me as was the funniest thing she ever heard. “ Oh come on now Rainbow Dash I’m just trying to make him feel more welcome. you never know if you need to quill” Twilight giggled a little as she continue down the road “ if you’d like you can show me around town some other time” “ do you know what that doesn’t sound too bad of an idea.OH I could show you Cloudsdale i’m sure you’ll love that” she flew down putting a hole for around my shoulder pointing up at the sky “I mean who wouldn’t want to go to cloudsdale” “What’s cloudsdale” I asked a bit confused why she was referencing to the sky. “That’s right you have no idea about this place. Well pretty much it’s a city made out of clouds in the sky” I kind of froze for a moment they’re. trying to process what she just said “Waaa...What? City in the sky? like a floating city? That be pretty cool to see” Rainbow Dash flew off in the sky spinning around in circles and doing little tricks “ You know it. it’s probably the coolest city in all of equestria” “Well.... i’ll start adding that to my bucket list“ And with that we’re back off the exploring the rest of the town. We ended up in front of a large tree that seem to have a house inside of it or actually the tree itself was a house. Which was pretty cool. “And here is the the town Library. Where you can find all your reading needs. It’s also where I live. Well that about wraps it all up. Come on inside I’m sure you’re real tired, walking around town all day“ Twilight walked into the door leaving it open for the rest of us to enter. I stopped and open the door wider to let the other girls behind me walk in. They all gave me nods and thank youse as they entered. I walked in and close the door behind me. Looking around I could see that there was a wall full of books on as many books as the towns library back home. but there were sure a lot of books. The girls seem to talk amongst themselves as I just slowly walked around looking at all the books. I could feel my legs starting to tense up they were very sore and I wanted to get off my feet. I saw a couch that Miss Fluttershy was sitting on. It looked big enough for me and there was a spot left as well I didn’t want to sit on any of the other chairs they looked a bit too small and I didn’t want to break anything. “ Is it all right I sit here fluttershy” She’s in the tents up and jump a little bit at that question while looking over to me. “OH...um I...I don’t mind. go ahead“ she scooted over slightly to make room for me. Hiding her face behind your hair. I sat down and took a deep breath and slowly began rubbing my legs. Fluttershy stuck her head out from behind her hair concern written across her face. “Um.... if...if you don’t mind me asking? Are you feeling OK” I looked over and smiled at her sitting up straight immediately so that I didn’t show any signs of pain. “oh yes ma’am I’m alright just a bit sore as all” “I'm sorry to hear that...I um...if you would like I might have some-“ she was cut off by twilight walking down the stairs calling my name. “Brady I have somepony who I like you to meet.” She look behind her waving her hoof motioning someone from upstairs to follow her. “So who is this pony you where wanting me to meet. I was taking a nap“ Heard a voice come from upstairs sounding a little aggravated. I then saw what looked to be a small lizard walking down the steps rubbing its eyes. I stood up slowly smiling at Fluttershy as I made my way around the couch to walk up to the little guy as he just stared up at me with his jaw dropped. “Is...is that the” he just kind of froze again staring up at me as I towered over. him he barely made it up to my knee. I knelt down on both my knees so I can get at a lower level to speak to him more properly. “Well hello there” I slowly stuck my hand out offering a handshake. He shook himself out of his keys and excepted the offer. “Hey there I’m spike. And are that human twilight was talking about” he asked looking over at twilight and then back to me. “Well yea I think that’s me. I’m Brady nice to meet you spike. If I may ask what exactly are you” I let go of his hand Standing back up while looking down at him. I better get used to looking down a lot. “ Well I am a fire breathing dragon!!” He shot his hands into the air as he gave a little cheer. which made me laugh a little. as well as the girls around me. “I’m sorry to say but I thought dragons are supposed to be bigger“ I was a bit shocked at seeing him last time I saw a dragon....well I don’t want to think about that actually. “ I’m actually just a big dragon but one day I’ll be big...well actually there was this one time but I don’t want to talk about that“ I looked on almost a shame as if he did something wrong. “ Well in any case it’s nice to meet you Spike” We stood around for a few moments a little awkward but my smiled soon faded away I had a small predicament that kept tugging at the back of my head causing me to concern more I wasn’t too sure where I was going to go. I was a bit scared. Twilight put a half on my hip catching my attention I looked down over at her saying that she looked a bit concerned “ something the matter Brady?” “ Well to be honest twilight I’m not too sure what to do or where to go I don’t really have a home anymore and I’m assuming I’m gonna have to go runoff somewhere and figure things out on the spot in thIs new bazaar world that I’m not familiar with. I don’t even know where to start “ I just kind of stared at the floor for a moment as feared slowly creeped into my mind a few different scenarios played out in my head as I try to make all kinds of different decisions quickly. I soon heard Fluttershy spoke to my left she was barely audible no one but me heard her. “Um...if you would like I could-“ she was soon cut off by twilight walking around me towards the kitchen. “ Oh don’t be silly Brady you’ll be staying here. There’s no way any of us would let you just be thrown off into the world. you don’t even know where you are and besides that’s what friends are for” She put a hook In my lower back and get me towards the kitchen “now sit down i’m sure you’re hungry” I did as she asked and sat down at the table I push the chair aside and just sat down on the floor I didn’t wanna break chair and I was tall enough to reach over the table. Applejack sat down next to me and put a hook on my shoulder “ I Agree with twilight Sugar cube ain’t none of us gonna let you wander around these parts by yourself“ Where do you chimed in as well sitting on the other side of Applejack “ Indeed that would be quite rude. And after all I owe you so much for saving sweetie Belle at twilight could not have been able to of accommodate for you I am most certainly would allow you to stay at my boutique“ I was kind of shocked that these ponies were so willing to give me a place to stay. I didn’t even ask for it. And I really felt bad like I was a burden but they seem very excited to help me. it felt nice having All these people worrying about me and wanting to help me I’ve never experienced something like this so bizarre to me I almost felt like I was about to cry. “Thank you....that really means a lot to me” I almost felt a tear rolled down my face for pinkie pie just came out of nowhere and gave me the biggest hug I’ve ever had. “You’re going to have the most fun you’ve ever had in your entire life. I guarantee it. Your Especially going to have a lot of fun at your ‘welcome to Ponyville and thank you for saving sweetie Belle from the scary dragons’ party” She let go of me and just sat there with the biggest smile I’ve ever seen. I laughed a little and lightly petted her on the top of her head. “ I look forward to it pinky think you very much“ We talked for a bit Most of the girls asking a lot of questions about my home and where I came from and I just gave them rough answers Which they seem to be absolutely thrilled by my answers they didn’t even believe me half the time Especially when I brought up cars and planes they were dash is very excited about the planes and how I told her that some of them can break the sound barrier. I also asked a few questions about their home and the things that they did learn that Apple Jack had a farm nearby which interest me and gave me an idea for later. After a while most of the girls had to go off and said their goodbyes. I noticed flash I was about to leave and I think she was trying to ask me something earlier. I tried approaching as calmly as I could I learned that she seem to be very timid and shy which I could relate to a little bit. “Um...Fluttershy where you trying to ask me something earlier? I didn’t get to hear what you were saying“ Even with my attempt to ask as calmly as I could she still seem to jump a little bit before looking over to me. “I.....oh it...it was nothing. Never mind. I’m sorry“ She hit her face behind her hair quickly while she just looked down at the floor drawing invisible circles on the floor. “ no it’s OK. Just aw... If you need to ask me anything Just go ahead. I don’t mind“ I told her is kindliness politely as possible she seem to look up at me with a small smile blushing a little “Ok then brady...T.Thank you...I. i’ll keep that in mind“ I gave her a warm smile before we said our goodbyes and she was off. I heard my name because behind me from rarity. And I seen walked back into the kitchen. “ yes ma’am“ she seem to have been talking to twilight about some thing for looking over to me. “Now tomorrow, If you’re feeling up to it. I would like you to come by to my boutique I’m sure you remember where it’s at but if not twilight here can show you the way. I have a little treat for you that I’m sure you’ll love“ She made her way to the door before stopping and looking up at me. “Of course ma’am i’ll gladly come by tomorrow” I put both of my wrists in front of my hips and giving a friendly nod trying to be as polite as possible. “OH I CAN SHOW YOU WHERE RARITYS IS TOMORROW” Spike practically yelled getting in between the two of us and looking up at me excitingly jumping up and down. I left a little he kind of reminded me and my little brother. I Knelt down and patted him on the shoulder “Well sure thing dude that be great“ He seem to whisper ‘yes’ to myself seeming very excited show me around town. “Oh good I’ll be off then you don’t have to get there so early you need your rest come by in the middle of the afternoon. Now I’ll be heading off see you tomorrow” We said our goodbyes and everyone’s going to cite me twilight and spike. Twilight was trying to figure out the best place for me to sleep she was suggesting just let me sleep in her bed while she slept on the couch. Told her that would be rude of me to do that in her own home and asked for just several blankets and I will just sleep on the floor. I actually had to convince her to let me sleep on the floor more intently than I originally thought I’d have to but she eventually agreed and I Made my makeshift bed made my makeshift bed on the floor next to spikes basket. I had put on my running shorts and put my jacket and pants in my backpack. I was sitting crisscross on my makeshift bed reading one out of the massive amount of books twilight was giving me. There was so much for me to learn from this new world and it was overwhelming. The twilight was there right next to me ready to answer any of my questions. “ So what you’re telling me is the princesses can raise and lower the sun and moon“ I just kind of stared at twilight blankly not actually believing what she was telling me. “Well yes both of the princesses have a connection to the night and day.Princess Celestia had to raise and lower the sun and moon for quite some time before her sister came back” she hopped onto her bed sorting a book of her own next to her. “ Well what happened to her sister“ “1000 years ago she tried causing eternal night my princess Celestia how do use the elements of harmony to banish her to the moon“ Twilight answered but only seem to give me more questions. “Wait if she can control the moon with that just be a double negative and just control the moon but from up there” Pointed up towards the sky While making weird hand motions which made her to giggle. “ well I can tell you all about it tomorrow but it’s getting quite late and spikes Is already one step ahead of us“ she looked over to spike who was already fast asleep I noticed this and realize that it was kind a late. There was just so much to try and learn I want to figure it all out as fast as I can. but I know I can’t learn everything in one day. We wished each other good night and I laid head back on my pillow. I just stared at the ceiling deep in thought for what felt like hours. I was exhausted but couldn’t really sleep. I had too much on my mind. I’ve been chilly got back up and snuck out the front door without making a sound sat down with my back up against the bark of the tree just looking up into the stars. Just watching the stars always seem to call me down. While looking up at the stars I kind a realized how truly far away I am from my home because up there at one of those stars is my home. And unless these ponies can use their magic to send me back to world they have never even heard of I’m truly stuck here forever. However it doesn’t seem so bad to be stuck here maybe I can make some good out of it. so far from I’m learned This world is so unbelievably peaceful I mean there hasn’t ever really been a war. I still don’t even know how to describe the wars to twilight. I stood back up and looked into the sleeping town. I know thank going to be here for a while being sad and being homesick isn’t going to help me. “ I’ll just have to make the best of what I got“ Spoke to out loud trying to Encourage myself that everything‘s gonna be OK. After that I slowly and quietly made my way back inside the library with myself back to sleep Not noticing the twilight was watching me the whole time.
