                Another night slipped away under the obsidian sky of the darkened field, fireflies tried to light the ground ablaze with their dazzling lights; such a beautiful display of passion and enthusiasm. The shone light with the majestic colors of green and yellow, as the bits of light scampered in and out; displaying their joy in a wondrous manner.  The grace of the lights and the breeze made the night last almost forever before changing once more to a different scene in life’s play.  The boy thought to himself, ‘Wow, if only It was like this.’
The sound of a car horn blasted the wonderful dream into a pile of crushed hopes and imaginary creations.  In front of him, an old beaten up Volkswagen buggy; the black paint tried to reflect light, but only held onto the rays, dulling its appearance.  He started to gaze into the black paint of the automobile, and started to see the true face that it hid underneath. Alexander started to talk to himself as the contentiousness faded like the hearts of many, “So dark and so beautiful.  Only if I could feel it’s face for myself.”

Alexander’s friend struck his head, “Hey its green, c'mon bro, remember to stay focused.”
Alex shook his head, “Oh sorry.  I was just thinking about some stuff.”
“Geez, you need to let loose sometimes, maybe this will cheer you up.”
Alex sagged his head, “Please let’s not do this again Steven.  Last time you got hurt.”
Steven put his hands behind his head, “And it was my fault for underestimating you.  So what do you say?  Just let loose!  It’s not like it is going to kill you.”
Alexander pulled into the driveway of a modest looking house, the walls were a beautiful shade for sea green, “Okay here you are, now don’t call me when you have to leave, I’m not going to pick you up.  You hear?”
He stepped out of the car, “Ya, I know.  I’ll see you on Monday.”

Alexander meant to pull out of the driveway and head back to the dorms, but was distracted by the wonderful color of the wall.  It took his breath away and spat it out in the form of a stigma.  He just waited patiently for the colors to stop.  Only to find they would live forever in the endless plains.  While he wait in the dazed state oh his mind, a voice crept into his very ear.  A faint whisper, a dying plea, the voice of Lucifer himself.

The voice what smoothly flowing, as if it was rehearsed, “Welcome my dear friend, aren’t you glad that you are the most depressed one of your kind?”
Alex sat in place and stared blankly, “No, I’m not.  I hate this, just as much as I hate you.”
The voice called out once more, “au contraire  my little pawn, we haven’t meet before, im -”
Alex slammed his fist against the window, fragmenting the glass, “I know who you are, and I want you out.  Go back to the hell hole you came from.”
The voice was displeased with his rage, but intrigued, “I am Discord, as my name reveals I am chaos and disharmony.  I was sent here to find the most depressed one of your species.”
Alex looked behind himself, only to see nothing, “I am not going with you.  Or any shit like that!  Just get out my head already!”
“Oh naive human, I'm not in your head.  I’m in the dimensional plains between my realm and your realm.  For if I entered your world it would damage the time space continuum into a never ending cycle that will repeat itself, until somepony finds the gap and stops it.”
“Wow, that is something.”
“I’m just kidding kid, I just made that up.  Well it is time to go, nobody will miss you here, so it is okay.”
“I already told you, I’m no-,” before he could finish his words a hole in the air ripped open and engulfed his existence, making him fall into the rifts of space and enter the world of colors.





The vortex spat him out into a world filled with bright colored animals, and colorful plants.  On the floor he lie in a daze as a group of horses surrounded him and started to stare intently.  He still wore his clothes, but they were altered.  Skrillex became DJ Pon-3, and his black pants were the brightest shade of pink.  Two bright and colorful creatures approached him one with purple, straight hair and pink highlights, and the other with curly solid pink hair and tail.  She was bouncing incredibly fast and high for any normal animal.  Or any animal he had seen on earth, who knows maybe they are on drugs or something.

“Hey crazy voice guy you there?  Why are these animals around me?”
The pink horse got close to  Alexander’s face and it was breathing hard, the smell of sweets and sugar entered his nostrils, “Do you want to be my friend?!  I’m friends with every pony in Equestria, and you are no exception.  So you want to be my friend?!” pinkie was standing over his midsection and pressing her pointy snout against his face.
Alex was scared of the creepy position, “Ummm, I’m sorry, but I can’t.  I’m not the one to be friendly… Can you get off of me already!!!”
The purple horse approached him  and started to drag her off him.  “Pinkie we talked about this already!  Not until we see what he, I assume its a he, is capable of, he may be just as dangerous as you.  Or worse!”
Alexander got off the floor and started to examine the two talking horses,  one was kind of cute with blue eyes, and the other had a very proper haircut.  Out of her mane came a short horn shaped thing.  He wanted to touch it, but he assumed she would not appreciate it.  “So what are you horses going to do to me?  I would prefer to go home already.”
Pinkie pie started to walk up to his face, being a little too tall, she was looking up quite a lot, “Silly we aren’t horses, we’re ponies!”  Twilight grabbed pinkie once more and dragged her from the premises.
The purple pony rushed back to the new specimen.  “Hello, as you can already tell, we are in Ponyville, may i ask you to fill this sheet?”  The pony took a sheet of paper and a pen from the little dragon assistant, “Thank you, Spike.”
‘So a dragon named Spike?  Wow, Even I could have done better.’  The clipboard and the pen got placed into his hands, nothing too hard, just simple information  Like gender, race, education, and description of species.  Simple stuff for a human to answer, it must have been hell to write this.  On the back was a long paragraph of text, and a rather large box marked with, “I agree,” at the end.  Being smart , he skipped the box of text and marked the box that read, “i agree”.  He gave it to Spike, “Hehe, you’re not too cute.  I think I’m going to like you, Spike.”
Spike just stared back at him, “Well that is one way to start a friendship.  Okay, Twilight will meet with you in a little while.  Right now I am going to run some tests on you.”
“What kind of tests?  If it has anything to do with a needle and my blood, i will burn this settlement to the ground.”
“Well that has already happened, about a week ago, long story.  But no, i am going to see how you react in certain…social environments.  Well I guess we should get you acquainted with the participants, and your temporary rooms.”
Alex was confused still, “Um okay, so what are you to that creepy purple pony?”
Spike looked at him in disbelief, “Oh, her,  well she is like a mother to me.  She doesn’t tell me the story a lot so I don’t know much.  She hatched me and she raised me.  Other than that, I work for her as her apprentice, and her assistant.  Come on ,the mares are waiting for you.”
“Umm-,” he was once more confused, “what’s a mare?”
Spike sighed, “Just come you’ll find out soon enough.”  Spike took his hand into his claw and started to drag him through the crowd to a small tent.

Inside the tent where 5 different mares.  One orange with a blonde mane, one blue with some radical rainbow hair and wings, another with wings but yellow and pink mane hiding in the back, Pinkie Pie, and another horned pony with a white coat and a purple mane.  They all were waiting in a line before the new creature;  all except the yellow pony, she was hiding behind Spike.

Every pony, except for the yellow mare said at the same time, “Welcome.”
Spike escorted the yellow pony out of the tent and she scattered, “Okay, this is how we are going to run the test.  You, alexander, are going to select one of the 5 mares, and live with that pony for a minimal of 3 days, if they would like, they may extend it to a week.  Then we repeat the same process until we have all the data we need, so at the max 5 or 6 weeks of living with these lovely mares.  Ok now that you know what you are to do, pick one, and she will get you started off on the project.”
“oh-, I get to choice?  Are there any restrictions?”  Not like he would go that far.
Spike looked at him funny, “Only the limits they  give you at that given time.  We are only recording you, not them.  For the most part at least.”
“Oh okay, I guess I could start off with-” a loud thunderous sound echoed throughout Ponyville.

Every pony fell to their bottoms and alex tumbled forward.  Taping his head against Pinkie Pie’s hoof.  He was slightly embarrassed and got onto his knees trying to escape the strange situation.  From outside entered a gray pony with golden hair.  She was scorched from the neck down, and walked up to the rainbow haired one.  Falling onto her back, shocking her with the leftover static.  “Dark clouds aren’t good for sleeping.  Can you take me to the hospital?”
She replied, “Okay, i'll get you there.  Sorry Spike, I need to go.”  She took of leaving a rainbow coloured trail behind her which disappeared.
After that a young child entered the room, she had white fur  and purple and pink hair, but her bottom was blank unlike her mothers.  “Hey Rarity, mom is coming over for the week.  We have to pick her up.”
“Okay Sweetie Belle, lets go.  Sorry Spikey wikey, family matters.  Bye every pony.  See you soon.”
Spike waved to rarity as he blushed slightly, “Well looks like you only have two choices.  Who shall it be?”
Al started to think, ‘Lets see, she‘s clearly a ball of excitement.  And she is always smiling.  Can’t be anything too intense,’ “Okay, I have decided, I would like,-”pinkie lunged herself at alex’s chest.
“I’m so glad you picked me, we are going to have such a fun time together.  Just you and me and a lot of fun stuff.”  Pinkie pie got close to his ear, and whispered “A lot of fun.”
I felt really bad letting her down, “I'm sorry but I was going to choice the orange one.  I promise I'll have as much fun as I can with you, during and after this ordeal.  I'm sorry.”  A tear rolled down his face, and land onto her straight hair.
“Its okay, as long as we will be friends.”  Pinkie let go of his body and left the tent.
“Well that was a bit sad... Applejack can you take it from here?  I’m going to help pinkie, bye.”
Applejack spoke up, “See ya little fella.  Help her good, ya hear?”
“Will do.  Now hold up your end.”

Applejack tried to grab his wrist, but couldn’t, “Okay, follow me deary.  It is a bit far, but worth it.”
“Um okay, I guess.”
