//------------------------------// // The Wish // Story: Growing up in equestria // by Liaf112 //------------------------------// Growing up in Equestria My name is Dylan and I'm about seven years old right now and I'm bullied a lot in school. My "family" isn't exactly "good" either. Daddy left a long time ago and Mommy hits me a lot. After all of that the only thing that makes me feel any better is the show My Little pony. I watch it every Saturday and have never missed an episode. One day at school some mean older kids were picking on me. Then they started beating me up and I fought back. "Look at that the little squirt is trying to fight back." Says the biggest one of them. He pushes me down and my back pack tears open. Inside are all my pony toys and now they are all over the floor. They all started laughing at me. "STOP LAUGHING AT ME YOU GIANT LOSERS." I yelled at them. They got angry at me and the big one got really close to me. "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE PONY LOVING FAG." Says the big bully, and he punches me as hard as he can in the nose. I pick up my toys and run home, crying the whole way. I go inside and to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and have blood running all down my face. I wad up some toilet paper and shove it up my nose. I leave the bathroom and look for my Mommy. I find her sitting in the living room with some empty bottles sitting around her. I get her attention and try telling what happened at school. She balls her hand into a fist and punches me in the head. I fall to the ground with tears in my eyes. "GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME YOU LITTLE BRAT IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M LIKE THIS." yelled Mommy and she told me to go to my room, I went to my room. I slammed the door locked it and piled all my things by the door I got in my bed hid under the covers and hugged my pony toys. I started wishing for a lot of things. I wished I would Just die here in my room so that my Mommy would feel really bad. I wished the bullies at school would just kill me so I wouldn't have to deal with the pain anymore. Then I wished over and over to live in the pony world, Equestria, and continued wishing that and crying until I cried myself to sleep. I was woken up a few minutes later by a very bright light in my room. It wasn't my ceiling light and it was coming from low in the center of my room. It was an amazing glowing portal that looked like a swirled rainbow. I didn't even care, I jumped in. I figured whatever was on the other side was going to be better than being beaten up at school and then being beat by my Mommy. After gong through a swirly rainbow tunnel I was in a forest and the sun was barely visible above the trees. I started walking but was not paying attention to where I was going. I ran into some thing big and hairy. It had been asleep, but now it is awake and very angry to be woken up. I stated screaming and running in the distance I saw a small bridge and a way out of the forest. "AAAAAAAAAHH HELP ME I DON'T WANNA GET EATED." While running the creature used its tail which looked like a scorpions sting and tried to hit me with it. It got me but only cut my arm. It still hurt a lot and made me run faster and scream louder saying "I DON'T WADDA DIEEEHEHE." I was now crying as well. Suddenly a yellow something starts yelling at the creature. I keep running and then hide behind a tree and look back. The creature is looking kinda scared of the tiny yellow flying thing and now it was just staring at it. The creature ran away and the yellow thing landed on the ground. If it can scare that big thing it should be more scary than it. "Hello, are you there, it's alright, you can come out now, that mean manticore is gone now and won't scare you again." Says the yellow creature which I now recognize to be a Pegasus. I slowly peeked from behind the tree and she sees me and squeaks a little. Then I go back to hiding behind the tree. I sit down curl up and start crying again. Then she walks toward me and i jumped and say "Please don't hurt me." She looks at me sad and says "I wouldn't hurt you and I promise I never will." After she said that I peeked back from be hind the tree and slowly walk towards her she notices my arm is still bleeding and says "Oh my, you're hurt. We should go to my cottage I have some medical supplies there and after that you can tell me how you got to be lost out here all by yourself. I say to her "A-alright." I walk to her and hold some of her mane and let her lead me out of the forest across the small bridge and into her cottage. She cleaned my cut on my arm and bandaged it. She saw the toilet paper in my nose and tried pulling it out she noticed it had blood on it and it was way past dried. I think she also noticed the rather large bump on my head. She started looking it me funny. "W-whats wrong am i hurt that bad?" I said. "Oh no your going to be fine but I was wondering what you are? and how you got here? and what your name is, My name is Fluttershy." she said. "M-my-my name is Dylan. When I was at home some bullies were picking on me, they beat me up and pushed me down my back pack i was wearing tore open and some toys fell out, then the biggest one hit me as hard as he could in my nose." at this point I was looking down and crying. "I ran home and got cleaned up and put the paper up my nose to stop the bleeding. I went to tell my Mommy what happened and... and she drinks this stuff that makes her really angry, she drinks way too much of it. She hit me in the head, that is what the bump is. She called me some names and told me to go to my room. I went and piled all my stuff at the door. I hid under the blankets and cried and wished to die or be killed. Then I wished to go someplace better while crying till i fell asleep. A few minutes later a portal was in my room it looked like a swirly rainbow and it was beautiful I jumped right into it and walked right into that big thing that wanted to eat me. Th-THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME." She looked at me sad again I got up and gave her a big hug. She was very surprised by this but smiled and gave me a hug back. "Oh my, that is a sad series of things to happen. I'm not sure what the others may think about you but you can stay here for a while. How old are you? and once again what are you?" She says. "I-I'm seven years old, and I'm a Human." I say. "Well you are rather close to the age that is considered an adult here but you seem younger than that." said Fluttershy. "Where I come from somebody is an adult at 18 years old...so the age thing is probably different." I say. "Oh that is a considerable difference. I don't know how that will work her though, any idea why the age is so old?" She says. "I think it is partly because we don't actually fully mature till around 21, and school takes usually around till 17-19 years old depending on when you start school." I say. Then I couldn't keep it in any longer and I yawned. She giggled and went into the other room and brought me a blanket. "You can sleep on the guest bed if you want to." she says to me. I yawn again "Thank you very much for letting me stay." I give her a hug and accept the blanket. She shows me the way to the bed and I get in. "Thank you Ms. Fluttershy." I smile and give her a kiss on the cheek. She giggles and says "Good night Dylan." She walks into her room and gets into her own bed and they both fall asleep.
