Fate Or Accident?


THe Prolouge is 1st Person, and the next few chapters will be 3rd person

Ever since MLP, or My Little Pony came out. I have been resisted to watch it since seeing critics on the internet telling every how bad/gay it was. Until I met Charles, how was a full blown Pony lover. When I heard about him, I thought he was a country boy who raised horses, I was deadly wrong.

The letters M.L.P kept popping into my head so I kept lookig it up, and kept seeing more and more fanwars about ONE show. I didn't believe one show meant for six year old girls could cause a war over the web. It did. I am about to tell you when one show changed my life, To tell about that fateful day when Me and my College Roommate Charles Brown vanished from our comfort zone into a dream... or a beautiful nightmare.

Rain batted against the rooftops as thunder shook the windows, and Lightning streaked across the sky as it was cracks. 
Me and my best friend, Charles, was just playing video games, Just as we were kids.
"Max! help! they're going to get me!" Charles said, sitting beside me with his black controller in his hands. His hands were sweating which made his controller slippery,

"Not if can't help it!" I said, and findled with a couple buttons on it and the screen flashed black,  I stared in pure confusion until I noticed the screen came back on. "WHAT THE FUCK?!"  I yelled at the screen, " THE LAST THING WE NEEDED WAS A DAMN POWER OUTAGE! WE WERE NEARLY ABOUT TO BEAT IT! NOW WE GOT TO FIGHT THE BOSS AGAIN!?"
"Max, relax man!" Charles said, "That thing really wasn't that hard."
"Yeah, I know, I'm just on edge." I replied sinking back into the couch, "It's like nine-aclock and we got nothing better to do,"
"I do," Charles said, slyly sitting up, What was he getting at?
"And what's that?" I replied,
"SEASON THREE  MARATHON!!!!!" He shouted,
"AWEOME!"

Me and Charles already had a massive dinner when we wen to the china buffet, (and had to explain to people who looked disgusted at us. Maybe they thought we were gay, I don't know, maybe the "Brony" Shirt was a dead give-a-way.) So we settled for a tall glass of hot cinnamon Apple Cider,

Okay.... I put the disc into the slot of my Playstation3, I felt the unpleasant shock of electricity, Good thing I wear rubber bands, I ignored it and pushed the sucker in! I ran back to the couch with my controller in hand and hit "PLAY" When the Main Menu showed up. After like three hours, I finally felt a unrecognized strain in my head, Possible the headache from seeing anything bright in the dark. Charles seemed to be having it too, "Hey do we have any Aspirin?" 
"Maybe, I'll go check." 

I went into the small kitchen and rummaged through a tiny basket filled with medicine bottles. Strangely, I found a bottle with a rainbow on it. "The hell?" I muttered confused, I opened the cap and shook a two purple gel pill into my hand. Being the curious cat I am, I summoned enough saliva and popped a pill into my mouth and swallowed it. I saved the other one to pull a prank on Charles, Hopefully he won't kick my flank later,

"I should get back to Charles," I shoved the bottle back into the pile, and grabbed the small bottle of Advil. I walked back into the common room and sat on the couch, "No Aspirin but here is some Advil," I slipped the purple Pill by pretending to lose my balance and catching myself (Charles didn't care, He told me to get the buck out of the way! Oh well...) I opened the small bottle, Then I popped two pills in my mouth and handed the bottle to Charles, who shoved two in and gulped down a glass of Cider with it,
I drank my glass of cider and saw the episode was over, "Time for the Finale!"

During the episode, I noticed the screen getting blurry, so did my TV, then my room, "Wha-?"  I couldn't finish my sentence, My tounge felt was numb, as if I went to the Dentist. Then a wave of numbness washed over my body. When it waved over my eyes, I saw ripples in the air. I fell on the floor,  staring at the ceiling.  What did I do? I thought grimly then I felt the sensation of falling through the air. My skin was on fire but I was getting hypothermia due to a icy chill in my blood. I cringed in pain. So much pain that I was seeing a rainbow swirling, then pitch black.

It stayed black.
