//------------------------------// // 1: The Beginning // Story: The Friends of Mine // by TH3G4M1NGP0NY //------------------------------// It was nearing the end of the school day for four friends. The four friends planned to spend time together over the next weekend. Two out of the four friends were siblings one a brother and a sister the siblings names were Hope Hoffman and Alexander Hoffman. The siblings two friends were Daisy and Jake, as the day went on finally the last class was almost over and they were all in the same class. "Alright then what do you guys usually talk about in this class." said Alex "Umm..." as Daisy said "what ever comes to mind." Jake finished for her. "I told you before brother." Hope said in a nervous tone. "I'm sorry I forgot about that sis." Alex said "Here I thought that she wouldn't mind." "Its okay we all forget once in awhile." said Jake in reasonable voice. "Thanks for understanding its just that I've been keeping to myself lately." Alex said in a sad tone. Alex thought to himself "Hmmm..." after he tuned out everybody "Maybe I have a chance to make some friends here after all." Remembering when he moved from his hometown with his family to where he is now "I don't want to move what about my friends and...and...and."Alex said "And what." his mom said. "And my girlfriend" he replied. His mom was in shock for a little while from what she heard from her son. "Now a better reason for us to move." his dad said from behind him. "No I won't leave until you tell me why we're moving?" he said in a very sad voice knowing he would be leaving all of his friends and his girlfriend. just he snapped out of his memory. Jake talking to Alex trying to get his attention. "Hey...hey...HEY! Alex wanna hangout at my house today after school?" Awakening from his thoughts "Huh...O-oh yeah sure." Alex said in a nervous tone. "Alright then come over to my house when school is over okay." said Jake. "Yeah okay then but what are we going to do." Alex said. "Huh... I never thought about till now." Jake said in questionable voice. "Well let us see what the girls are going to be doing today." Alex said. "Okay" Jake said shaking his head in a yes way. The boys both asked the girls at the same time. "What are they going to be doing today after school is over?" They said "Nothing but the usual." The boys asked "What was the usual?" "Oh nothing much just watch tv and whatever else there is to do." The girls answered. "Care if we join you two on whatever it is that you girls do?" asked both Jake and Alex . "Sure I guess." both Hope and Daisy replied. As the day went on the friends discuss what they were going to do today and over the weekend. It was now three thirty on the clock as the bell rang to notify the students that school was over. The four friends then walked back from school towards Alex and Hope's house were they would spend time together and to get to know each other better. As the friends started talking a thunderstorm seem to be coming toward them. Daisy and Jake asked "Hey you guys can we spend a night here?" Alex and Hope said "Sure, why not." The TV then turned on a strange voice told them "We need your help can you please help us?" The four friends just stood there in terror and amazement. Alex said "Sure but where are you?" and then the voice they heard sounded familiar to Hope as she is the only to know about stuff like this. Hope thought to herself "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were talking to us but why?" and then all of a sudden they all had been talking to the television to a unknown person expect Hope as she knew this person would be the princess of Equestria. As all four of the friends were talking to the person they started to calm down and ask what was wrong in its world expect for Hope she knew what was wrong she wanted to help so she just dove through the television screen into a new world as she did she was thinking to herself "Why would the Princess ask us for help?" just then she fell asleep while traveling to a new world. Just before that the three other friends noticed what she did and started to panic as they just witnessed what just happened. "We got to go after her!!!" Alex shouted to the other two who still stood there in both amazement and terror but soon snapped out of it and answered "Maybe we should go get somebody?" the other two said. Alex nodded in a yes manner and shouted "You do that I'm going after my sister and jumped toward the television screen and went in. Now it was down to Jake and Daisy who just looked at each other for a moment and just then Jake said to Daisy "l'm going in to I mean how many times is this going to happen to us agian" as soon as he had said that he ran towards the TV and dove right into it after Alex and Hope. He thought to himself "I wonder where are we gonig, why us, and who was talking to us anyway just like that he fell fast asleep. Daisy looking around trying to get away from the TV and out of the house to go find some onethat can help. She would tell them what had just then she thought out loud "No people would think that I'm crazy." You know what I'm just gonna in there any way just then she heard laughing as the voice said "I was just kidding about the whole needing help we just wanted some visitors to come." and then after hearing that she would walk up to the TV and walk in saying "I would be okay and that every thing would be fine." so she went into the television screen and fell fast to sleep as well.
