//------------------------------// // The diary // Story: Future diary // by World Trotter //------------------------------// It was another normal day for me I woke this morning had breakfast, got dressed, then ran over to school just like any other day. On the way there I met up with a friend of mine Fluttershy she was the shyest person at school and was a major animal lover. She had long pink hair and yellow skin with a plain white short and a green skirt to finish her outfit for the day. “Hi Sunset.” She greeted me when I got to her side as we continued to walk to our school together. I had orange skin and red hair with yellow stripes my outfit was a leather jacket unzipped over a small light blue dress with light yellow underneath. “Hey Fluttershy how's it going.” I asked her as I pulled out my phone and opened a page and started typing. “I'm doing good how about you?” She asked me when I finished typing my entry 8:03(Tuesday)[neighborhood] Just met up with Fluttwrshy on my way to school and started a small conversation. “I'm doing good to” I responded about to put my phone away when she stopped me. “Why did you pull out your phone just now?” She asked me making me realize I never told any of my friends about it. “It's my diary I write in entries about me and my friends when something happens I put in the place and time and paraphrase what happened.” I explained making her nod. “Why didn't you tell us you had a diary?” She asked me curiously which I didn't expect from her. “It must have slipped my mind.” I responded putting my hand behind my head as we continued to school which we still had quite a bit to go. On the rest of the way we didn't talk much so I got time to recall the dream I keep on having, I’ve been having it for at least 3 days now. I find myself in a giant circular room just standing there with a giant creature on a throne staring down at me. Sometimes he will talk other times we will be moving around some big levers and pressing buttons of some kind. Last night before I woke up he just stared down at me and said. “It's almost time first.” As if first was my name. I snapped back to reality when someone snapped their fingers in front of my face making find it to be Rarity another friend of mine. She had purple hair, white skin, and always tries to look as pretty as possible with a small skirt and a plain white t-shirt. “Really now darling staring off into space when first period is about to begin.” She said disappointedly to me as she walked with Fluttershy to class leaving me to head to math by myself. After 1st and 2nd period it was lunch time and I finally got to hang out with my friends again. After I bought a salad on a juice from the cafeteria I spotted them sitting at a table in the back of the room. As I approached I noticed Rainbow dash wasn't here which was unusual for her to have a sick day especially since she has a soccer game tomorrow. “Hey where’s RD?” I questioned as I sat down with my friends. “She's getting some last minute practice with her team before the game tomorrow.” Answered Applejack. She had orange skin with blond hair under her cowgirl hat that she never takes off. “I am cake certain she is going to win!” Screamed Pinkie Pie another friend who is the crazy one of the group. She has light pink skin with very poofy dark pink hair and a white shirt under her jean jacket with her light blue skirt. “I'm sure she is to.” I responded as I took a took a bite out of my salad. “Oh I nearly forgot did you girls hear about the new boy.” Rarity perked up smiling as she gained our attention. “I didn't hear anything.” Fluttershy responded just getting a nod from the rest of us. “Well I personally haven't met him but I heard the latest gossip that he is a good athlete, very smart, and some of the girls here just dream of him.” She explained staring off into space. “Well now hold your horses, I don't think you should believe everything that you hear from gossip.” AJ said with a frown at Rarity still staring into space. “Excuse me?” We heard a Avicenna say to the left of the table where a purple skinned boy with green hair stood. He had a dark purple jacket zipped up on with regular jeans with his hands in his pockets. “Do any of you know where Mr. Crankey’s class is?” He asked a little shyly to us snapping Rarity out of her trance. “I can show you where it is.” I stood up from my seat as the boy gained a smile. “Thank you, I'm kind of new here.” He explained making Rarity gasp and me just a little surprised but not understanding why girls dream of him. “No problem it's this way.” I said as we started to walk away out of the cafeteria. After a few short minutes we arrived at the class he was looking for and turned to me “thank you… Um” he started not knowing my name. “It's Sunset Shimmer.” I told him hoping he wasn't embarrassed. “I'm Spike anyway thank you Sunset hope to see you again soon.” He said holding out his hand to shake it and I took it. The moment I touched his hand I found myself back in the big room with the creature who just smiles at me before I came back to reality. Then after the last of my classes school ended and we all had to head home I didn’t get to hang out because I had a lot of homework to do. So I did that and then had dinner but noticed how long I took me to do my work so I had to take a quick shower and head to bed for tomorrow. That night I had the dream again. I was back in the room and the creature was staring down at me but this time I could move and speak. “What are you” I shouted hoping it heard me. “I am Deus” it responded before it leaned forward closer to me. “And today the game begins first.” He continued before leaning back and turning away from me. “Wait what game!” I shouted before facepalming “why am I worried it's just a dream.” I told myself before I woke up. I found myself up earlier than normal and couldn't go back to sleep so I just flipped open my phone to check my diary. When I opened it I found something. “Huh” I said to myself when I found entries already made for the day and shrugged it off. “Must've been typing in my sleep.” I told myself before reading the two first entries. 6:12am(Wednesday)[home] checked my alarm clock to find it not plugged in 6:20am(Wednesday)[home] Checked the news to find that a fourth murder has happened by a serial killer. “Yeah I doubt that” I though looking at my alarm finding it unplugged “must've hit it in my sleep” I decided to have breakfast so I went downstairs and turned on the news while pouring cereal. Now we come with our latest story another victim of the mask killer has been found making a total of four the reporter said shocking me. I was jaw dropped “this couldn't be happening” I thought as I pulled out my found to read that entry to find it right there. I didn't know what else to do so I read on 7:45(Wednesday)[neighborhood] I leave for school early and find Applejack and Rainbow talking. 10:31(Wednesday)[science] Flash sentry shows up late and causes the teacher to spill her coffee All of these came true as the day progressed there was only one final test to see if it was happening. 12:47[cafeteria] Rainbow comes back to talk about the game Ending score: 2/7 I was sitting at the table as usual when Rainbow showed up “and that is how you win a game.” She said stoked as she sat down with a smirk. “That was a good game you did great darling.” Rarity complimenting her as her smile grew big. “Yeah it was it was 2 to 7 they didn't stand a chance” she exclaimed making me freeze. That confirms it my diary is showing what will happen but how is this happening the technology wasn't created and why me I was freaking out. “Sunset you okay?” I heard a voice and turned to see Spike who snapped me back to reality. “Yeah I'm fine Spike.” I responded jittery as I continued to eat. When the day ended and I was going to bed I was scared because of the fact my diary was showing the future. When I finally did I was back in the big room more confident than ever. “The diary is part of the game.” He said before I even asked surprising me. “It is your future diary it is part of you so In short words of the diary is destroyed you will die.” He said calmly to my face making me worried before realizing how useful it can be to have this.
