My Little Octavia

Chapter 1

It was a dull and dreary day for me and going home wasn't gonna make it better. I already had to put up with the bullies at school. I really don't like them. They always make fun of me because I like the show called My Little Pony. Today didn't make it any better because I wore my Octavia shirt. I normally don't care what people say, but they do get on my nerves.
When I got home it got even worse. "Hey look it's my fag of a son Michael," my dad yelled when I walked through my front door. That's when my mother walked inside living room. "John that's no way to talk to your own son. He's a grown boy, almost out of high school. He can like and do what he wants, so shut up!!" Then my father got up off the couch and set his beer down. He started walking toward's my mother. Before he could do anything I stepped in between him and my mother. "Don't you dare lay a hand on mom or you will get hurt," I said to him. He laughed and pushed me aside. That was his first mistake. I got back up and ran toward's him and grabbed him by the throat and gave him one final warning. "Leave and don't come back." He must be really stubborn because he started fighting back. I reared back and gave one final swing straight to his face and knocked him out cold. Im utterly shocked that I had that much power in that swing.
After I calmed down from shock I turned around and walked over to my mom. I gave her a hug and told her I was sorry for all the trouble. After a few moments of silence I told her to call the police to have my dad taken away. When the police showed up I told them what had happened and they took my dad away for good.
I decided to head up to my room so I could calm down some more and to get my head on straight. When I got inside my room I heard my computer go off signaling me that I got a message. I went over to the computer and checked it to see who it was from. Shockingly it was from my friend Anthony. I hadn't heard from him in a long time. Not since he moved to Arkansas. He wanted me to get on skype so he could show me his new Vinyl Scratch shirt and just to chat for a bit. I grabbed my web cam and hooked it up to my computer.
As I waited for him to connect with me I thought about what had just happened downstairs. I just couldn't get over it. My dad had went after my mom just because she was protecting me from my dad's hatred. Why did I cause so much conflict in my family and it's all because of my love of the show.
While I was in deep thought I didn't notice that my friend showed up on the screen. "Hey earth to Michael you ok man, you kinda zoned out on me." I turned around and faced the computer screen. "Sorry man I'm kinda in a pissed off mood right now. I had to call the police on my dad, but I'm not gonna get into that." My friend nodded to show that he understood. I decided to change the subject, "So what's this new shirt that you messaged me about?" He bent down and picked his shirt up off the ground. "This is my new Vinyl Scrach shirt. It's so COOL!!!" Anthony tends to get over excited when it comes to Vinyl. As you can tell by the way he's acting. "Now Anthony do I have to remind you that true music is made by Octavia. She always keeps her cool and sweet music flows from her cello when her bow touches it." From the way he was looking at me showed that he wasn't going to accept this.
Next thing I know is that he was yelling at me. Not in a harsh way but from utter shock. "Hey Vinyl gots the best beats around along with *BIG* bass drops. What does your favorite background pony got? Tiring orchestrated music that isn't all that exciting." I'm in utter disbelief right now. "Octavia may not be extremely loud and crazy like Vinyl but she still plays good music. Trust me I do like Vinyl Scratch but I love Octavia more."
After hours of arguing back in forth I finally tell Anthony good night and decided to go to bed.
Later that same night I was awaken by this loud explosion right outside my window. I run over to my window and open it up to see what just happened. I look down towards the ground and notice there was a crater in my back yard. Not only that it looks like someone is in the middle of it. I run downstairs and out the front door. I'm shocked that my mother didn't wake up from the sound that it made.
When I make it to the back yard I walk slowly to the gigantic hole and look down into it. As the smoke cleared away I notice that it wasn't a person but a pony. I'm confused at this moment and trying to figure out all the possibilities that this could happen. After thinking for a minute I hear a groan and I thought that it must be hurt, so I run down into the crater to see if it was alright. When I reached it I notice that it wasn't just a pony but it was Octavia. I'm even more shocked and amazed at the same time. Octavia is here and real but the kicker was that she is a filly.
After checking her over to see if she is hurt I carry her inside to get her warm. She just had a couple of bruises so I take her up to my room and make her a bed in one of my baskets. Making sure she was nice and warm I climbed back into bed and layed there in thought. I hope mom will let me keep her. Then I fell asleep waiting for tomorrow to come.
