//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 - Logon Science Labs // Story: Brandon Pierce: An Equestrian Tale // by BronyInDisguise //------------------------------// Chapter 2 "Come along class, we have much to see" This.. is not worth 10%. We were inside the Logan State Science Center, walking down a hallway with several doors, all closed, with signs on them depicting what went on in those places. It might have been pretty entertaining to watch the experiments, but, of course, were we not allowed inside the rooms. This, coped with the fact that out guide was the most undertone, tired, and incredibly boring person to ever wear the title of Doctor made it unbearable and I was already tired from not getting much sleep. The only thing that caught my eye during the tour was a certain door. It was colored white with big bold letter written above it. "Top Secret". "Excuse me, sir." I said to the guide. "Hmm" "What goes on in that room?" I said, pointing to the door. "Can't you read, its top secret fella, meaning you don't need to know." This man must really not like his job. Well, it was worth a shot. After what seemed like an eternity, we were brought into what looked like a viewing room. There were chairs lined up in front of a projection screen. A Movie? Hmm, maybe this won't be so bad. We all took our seats and the movie began. First off, it was a complete insult to call this... thing a movie. It was one of those science shows, talking about the process that a micro-thingamajig splits into other things and such. I didn't know, I was too busy keeping myself awake to pay attention. How long is this movie gonna take? I'm about to pass out here. Then Mr. Winters spoke up. "This movie will last for the next two hours, so get comfortable." He was met with a resounding groan from his class. Yeah, I'm not staying awake just to watch this and be bored. I excuse myself from the group, and began to walk toward the door. I half expected Mr. Winters to say something, but he just kept watching the movie. How in the world is he interested in this? I thought. I begin to walk the halls, looking for someplace that no one would notice if I were to crash for an hour. I then noticed a certain door. There were no words written on it so it wasn't an office or a lab. I opened the door to find a small room with a mop, broom, and several different kinds of cleaning equipment. "Janitors closet, huh. That'll do." I say to myself. Making sure no one was watching, I crept in and closed the door behind me. I look around the small room, noticing a small area behind one of the shelves of cleaning detergent. It looked big enough for me to lay down in. I fold myself into the area. A tight squeeze, but better than nothing. I situate myself until I was as comfortable as I was gonna get. I'll just get an hour or so of sleep, just enough to get me through the rest of this dang trip. I close my eyes, and, almost immediately, fell asleep. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I dreamed about Equestria again. I dreamed about how life would be if I were a Pegasus pony, flying through the air with not a care in the world. I flew over the land, waving to the other ponies as I passed. I felt as though I could take on the world. I felt incredibly happy. I mean, what brony would not feel happy living there. Not everyone would like to admit it, but all bronies have had the thought or dream of living there. With the magic, the joy, the adventures, the colors, its all so appealing. It's all... so... real... My eyes darted open. Dang it! Another Dream. Honestly, I didn't really know what I was expecting. It's just a cartoon show. Nothing more. Its not real, it was created by a company to sell toys to people. Then why do those dreams seem so real? Wait... what time is it?! I quickly grab my phone and turn it on. Oh, no... We had arrived at the Facility at 9:00 that morning. The tour had taken until 10:30, and we were going to leave at noon. It was 4:00. I was asleep for 5 hours! Darting to my feet, I think over what I was going to do. Everyone is long gone now. I'm technically not supposed to be in this part of the facility. If I get caught, I could get charged for trespassing. Ohh, this isn't good. Okay, Okay, calm down. All you've gotta do is sneak out of here. That shouldn't be to hard right? I collect myself, turn the handle to the janitors closet, and slowly open the door.
