Ring! Ring! Ring!
After what seemed like an eternity in the classroom, the school bell rang, echoing around the room. Right at that moment, everyone sprung out of the chairs and rushed for the door, ignoring the teacher telling them about the homework over the weekend, and I was one of those kids, not only that, but I am what you would call a brony, a fan of the series titled "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic"
Everyone spilled out of the school gates, all excited over the weekends, but me, I was sad. I know I should be excited as much as the rest of the kids, but my family barely does anything on the weekends, so they end up pretty terrible.
Like most bronies, I have the same dream of being in Equestria, interacting with my favorite ponies from the show. Hanging out with Rainbow Dash, having a Welcome To Ponyville party, courtesy of Pinkie Pie, getting new clothes from Rarity, having tea parties with Fluttershy and so on and so forth. Equestria is such an amazing and wonderful place and would be much better than living on this hellhole we call Earth, I wouldn't have to go to school, I wouldn't have to worry about my parents and I would have such a fantastic time, if I had the chance to go. As I continued to think about MLP, my friend, we'll call him Tyler, suddenly ran up towards me with a huge grin. I haven't told him about my pony obsession, yes, I am a closet brony.
"Hey Lukas, you excited for the weekends?" Tyler asked while nudging my shoulder.
"Yeah, excited." I replied in a gloomy tone, trudging along the sidewalk.
"Is something wrong?" Tyler questioned with concern in his tone.
"It's just that.." I took a big sigh before continuing. "My family never do anything fun for the weekends."
"Well, that sucks." Tyler said with sympathy. "Well, do you want to come with me and my family to the waterpark tomorrow? We bought an extra ticket."
"Now that sounds like something I can get behind." I replied, feeling a bit better from my moping. "Well, see you later."
"Later, dude." He called out as we turned the corner and went our separate ways.
With me being alone, I decided to think about being in Equestria again and how much fun I would have. Also, when I do get the chance to go to Equestria, I hope I don't transform into a pony when I get there. I mean, I don't know about you, but I think it would be pretty difficult if I had to live my entire life without having hands and I wasn't a unicorn, and even if I were to be a unicorn, it would take me forever to master any spell, I had no idea how filly Twilight learnt magic just by reading a couple of books. However, I put all of my thoughts at the back of my head as I approached my house.
I opened the door to my house and slid my backpack on the ground. Usually, I would see my mom doing dishes in the kitchen and my dad watching sports on T.V, but instead, nobody was around, the house was dead silent, not even the sounds of my baby brothers causing havoc. I was slightly confused by this, until I walked into the kitchen and saw a note on the fridge.
"Out of town for the weekend."
I then realized that I had the house to myself for the entire weekend, so I thought that this would be the perfect opportunity to binge watch My Little Pony. Without any hesitation, I rushed over to my room and turned on my computer.
"Maybe this weekend may not be so bad after all." I said to myself.
As I was thinking about what MLP episode to watch, the computer had finished booting up and I saw my Fluttershy themed wallpaper, she is one of my favorite characters from the show, she is just such a precious cinnamon roll. I went on Netflix and typed up "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic"
"Hmm.. which episode should I watch?" I asked while scrolling through the list of episodes.
Now knowing that I couldn't make a decision, I just randomly clicked on an episode, it was "Newbie Dash" You know, that episode where Rainbow Dash finally becomes a full fledged Wonderbolt. It was a charming episode, so I sat back in my chair and the episode started to play, but something strange happened. Instead of showing Rainbow Dash flying through the air, it went straight to the intro, that was a bit weird, but I shrugged it off and started humming along.
"Man, Equestria is such a fun place, if only I could actually go there. But that will only happens in fanfictions." I dreamily said.
By now, the intro got to the part where everyone gathered around for a group photo, but right when Photo Finish was about to take it, the screen suddenly froze in place for about 5 seconds. Then, I started to see a white light on the computer, I didn't remember this part of the intro, was some kind of virus taking over my computer? The light was getting bigger and bigger, now I was scared, I had no idea on what was happening and my mind was spinning with questions. But then, I felt my body morph and stretch as my body suddenly got sucked into the computer, and then, I blacked out...
When I woke up, the pain hit me like a train. For a moment, I had no idea who I was or where I was, there was only the agonizing pain at the back of my head. Slowly, I pried my heavy eyelids open to see that I was in a room, but it certainly wasn't my room. Not only that, but something about this room seemed awfully familiar, like I have seen something like it before, but where? Looking down, I saw that I was currently laying down on some kind of bed. I then took the time to look around this supposed room that I was in, there was a desk with books scattered all over it, like my desk when I have a late study night session. Next to the door, there was a picture of an equal sign with a cross over it, the moment I gazed upon the picture, something clicked in my mind.
This is... Starlight's room.
