My name is Sapphire, mostly known as Jackie around my friends. I am your ordinary 14 year old girl, except I wasn't just anybody. I am a brony.
Even though my birth-father, grandma, and boyfriend died, my family broken apart, I still felt I belonged to a family. No, I'm not talking about my now broken apart family, but the delightful community of bronies.
If there was any title I could call myself with pride, it would be "brony", or on rare occasions, "pegasister." Even if I never fit in, am hit by horrid amounts of everyday depression, was called a freak at school, I was happy. But I never thought I could be happier, and for once, I was proved wrong.
It was a sunny Monday morning. Of course, it was the winter holidays, and I need not go to school. A childish twinkle of excitement in my eyes, I dashed to the living room, swinging on my coat, and racing to the door. It was winter! My favourite season of the year. It always gives me somewhat holiday spirit, even if I was heavily affected with S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder.)
I didn't even stop for my morning hot chocolate. I simply skipped past the tables and chairs, and at last, I swung the door open, to trip over a huge cardboard box.
I froze at once, as my eyes shifted from the sky to the box. There was something squirming inside. Why would it be on my doorstep? It couldn't have been mine. My mother, and step-father never ordered anything, not even Father's Day mugs or Mother's Day cards.
I tried my hardest to keep my pale blue eyes off the object. But my curious personality got the better of me, as I opened the box, without thinking a second time. And you know what they all say - curiosity killed the cat.
But I didn't think so. I gaped in awe and wonder at the contents of the box. Why - there was lying a little filly Pinkie Pie! Of course, her hair was straightened, and her eyes were sad and drooped.
I would've very much liked to say something, but the shock and surprise tied my tongue, and fastened it tight like ropes. All I could stutter, was, "H-Hello, little guy." Come on, I told myself. This is probably another prank, or at least a plushie, or robot. "My Little Dashie" was just a fanfic - or at least, I thought so.
The Pinkie Pie "plushie" didn't move. It didn't even blink. I was about to start thinking I was right after all - until --
"Don't stare at me," Pinkie Pie whispered.
I had a heart attack! It spoke! But I wasn't to believe it. Maybe "Don't stare at me" were built in words, and that was all the robot could say.
I smirked, and decided to test it, "W-who are you?"
"Pinkamena Diane Pie," the filly introduced. She didn't turn to look at me, but instead, looked around. "Where am I?"
"You're in Australia," I answered, pointing both arms at the beautiful morning sky. It was a misty, rather cloudy morning, and the sun glistened upon my face from behind a white cloud. The morning chill sent shivers up my spine and down, but I didn't mind it. And it seemed she didn't mind it either. "It's the middle of winter --"
Pinkie Pie gasped. "Winter? You mean like snow! I've never seen snow in years!" she cried out. I still thought she was fake, but deep inside somewhere in my heart, I knew she was Pinkie Pie - THE Pinkie Pie.
"Uh.." I stammered. I looked around, just praying someone would come around, and fish me out of the awkward situation. "It actually...never snows here."
Pinkie looked disappointed. Her head dropped low, and she muttered, "Never mind, then."
I was confused at once. She claimed she was Pinkie Pie, but yet she didn't even act like her? It never hit me that she was only a filly at the time, and she was depressed and sad, like in "Cutie Mark Chronicles."
"Um...Pinkie Pie?" I asked. I bit my lip, curled my fingers into a fist, and dug my fingernails into my palm, but still - I didn't wake up. I came to a conclusion - I was not dreaming. "It's rather cold out. Wanna come in?"
Pinkie Pie looked startled. She shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry, but I really must go. My mum, dad and sisters are waiting for me." She looked behind her, gazing at the misty-blue horizon. I immediately felt my heart melt, as I cupped her in my arms.
"I...There's...I.." I stammered. I had to tell her there was no way to Equestria from Earth. In that case, I would've already been on a life-long vacation, making new friends among the ponies there. But I couldn't break it out to her. I just couldn't. She seemed already so lost..so unhappy...so hopeless. I couldn't bear to see one of my favourite ponies be any sadder than this.
"Here, we'll talk inside," I offered. I dropped her gently back into her box, and went inside my home. In another five minutes, I returned, with a yellow wool blanket. I wrapped it around her, picked her up, laying her in my arms, and kicked the box away. I returned inside my home, with Pinkie Pie in my arms.
"How did you get here?" I asked, as soon as Pinkie Pie was comfortably cuddled in a small cushion, originally my dog, Admiral's, before he died.
Pinkie Pie, as soon as her shivering stopped, alluded to,"I dunno."
I smiled and said, "So...who are your parents?" I already knew this answer, but the answer slipped to the back of my head, and I could not even remember the latest episodes of MLP, and what happened in them.
Pinkie Pie didn't want to answer.
I would've felt the same, if I were her, to be honest. In fact, I don't like talking about my family any more than she did now.
We talked and talked for hours, and my parents wondered what I was doing, in my room all day. Of course, I remembered to lock my door, and keep my voice down. Besides, they still did not know I was a brony, let alone suspect that I was talking to Pinkie Pie, a pony. In fact, I was pretty sure I heard my step-father asking what I was doing, and my mother answering that I was probably doing more homework. It sort of made me laugh to think of that. I was doing something much more wonderful than homework - with somepony much more wonderful than anyone else in the world.
Pinkie Pie, all of a sudden, yawned a wide yawn.
"It's late," I whispered, as I arranged for her a bed. Pinkie Pie climbed up a chair, and scrambled to the window. She gasped in wonder, as she saw the beautiful night sky. It was like a midnight blue blanket, and the stars decorated it, glittering like diamonds. Pinkie Pie, the sorrowful little filly she was, was now the happiest pony ever. She had obviously never seen anything like it, and it made me happy to see her so happy.
I stared out to the night sky, and I could tell she was doing so too. One of them shone brighter than the rest. I stared at it, childhood memories flashing back into my mind. Suddenly, I saw a whole score of stars bolt across the sky! "Look, Pinkie! Shooting stars! Meteor storm!" I cried out, trying my best to show the excitement I felt, as I pointed out the window.
More and more memories streamed through my mind, to be interrupted by the soft rather melancholy voice of my new little filly.
I wish I may, I wish I might,
I wish I'll get back home tonight.
I felt nothing for the worst fic ever (My little dashie, its shit).
But I will read this.
Later.
Good day.

... You sir have no taste in fan fictions.
aw. so far its like a well thought-out tribute to the original
407748
I have a lot of taste.
I just don't get how a poorly writen sefl insert full of plot holes and over use of 'heart exploding' is a good fic in any way.
rainbow dash is a little mad but I LOVE this!!
oh and please make a chapter 2
407754
Oh well i guess people have their own opinions sorry for troubling you
407754
sir, just to inform: by taking such stance against My Little Dashie, you basically provoke the whole fiction-reading fandom.
can't say anything yet, haven't still even read the thing.
407776
Not really, whats the worst that can happen?
A few crying fanboys rant at me on the internet?
So what?
I read it, and afterwards wanted my half an hour back, it's awful.
407796
:D true dat, sir. have your fun ^^
I don't know about anybody else, but I loved it. I'm definitely going to be keeping an eye on this. Personally, I figured it'd be a pretty tall order to go against My Little Dashie, but you seemed confident, and I'm glad I opened it.
A couple of little things that I have issues with; I wish there were more details about what you talked about with Pinkie in your room. Got a little more telling than showing in there. It's not bad, it's good -- it could just be great, that's all. And why is Pinkie Pie not freaking out about you being a human? Has this version of Pinkie Pie seen humans before?
As far as self-insertions go, you don't make yourself seem to be more than you are, which is great. Keep eating the slices of humble pie and you'll be fine in this fic.
Insta-pegasister for life,
Sosai
407816
Okie dokie.
407742
Definitely flawed, but the worst? I think I can prove you wrong, good sir. Fillies and gentlecolts of the jury, I present thee... Exhibit A.
407748
And who are you to judge what his taste in fanfictions should to be? Isn't he entitled to his own choices?
>>Author
Just no... abandon this and come up with a more original plot. Not only you're blatantly copying the premise and plot of another story, you even won't make it to HiE-tier with this kind of writing either.
407852
I am including it's fanbase and spin offs, so yes the worst.
(Also can I have a link to that thread that tells you have to change text size?)
407859 Oh yeah... the fanbase is killing...
Here it is!
407861
I know.
(Thanks, I need it for a fic like the ones you did, you know the "This was written as a homage to all those brave (humans or ponies) that went to Z and never, not even once, Y. Because a life full of Z, W and V must really keep your P going. May their T-filled P rest in peace. " ones, but about TCB.)
ANOTHER ONE?!
407742
Quick question, are you saying this in terms of pony fiction or fan fiction in general? If it's the later I'll have to disagree because I can think of a couple that are worse.
407910
In pony.
407913
Jeez you reply fast! And while I disagree with you, I'm willing to live and let live. Cool?
407916
Okay.
And the relpys?
The notification button works wonders.
Good day.
407913
you again....
You are aware that by using an irritated looking straight-maned Pinkie as the title pic and referring to her as Pinkamena, you are going to give a number of people the idea you are referring to a certain... _different_ characterization of our favourite pink party pony. Which puts this fic on a _completely_ different track.
I had severe difficulties trying to decide the tone of this fic, and nothing so far has struck me as particularly 'hooking', bar the basic premise of the story. So put up the next chapter, and we'll see where that takes us, shall we?
407742
Wow, on something of a crusade against the less complex fics, aren't you?
407978
Whatever do you mean by that my good sir?
407980
Ah, meaning no disrespect to the current story's author, that when I read works of lesser quality than, say, FO:E or Silent Ponyville, it is more often than not yourself who appears in the comment as the principal flame-thrower. To such a degree that, despite my not having read much of your work, your name is instantly recognisable.
408016
Really?
Strange, I just state what I see in a fic.
I'm flattered that you recognise me, but you know what they say, "all publicity is good publicity".
Unless you smuggle drugs or something like that.
Good day.
407924 Stop saying "Good Day. " Everywhere you go, Because I'm gonna fucking put a bullet in my head if I see another comment from you saying that! I don't give a shit if it's your "Signature!" Fucking Stop!
408055
If you checked , you would find that I've only used it to end conversations/ image threads and for one offs.
I have stopped it in normal conversations, I'll have you know, so please calm down.
408063 I really don't give a shit if you do it to end Conversations. I see it everytime. It gets annoying seeing it everytime i end up running into you...
408075
Well sorry.
Before you complained that I used all the time.
Now I'm just using it at the end, to do what it says, to wish the other poster a good day.
You honestly need to take a chill pill.
Atleast I'm not like Iraqlobster, when someone asked him about his sig he spamed it at them over and over, I'm not.
Fun fact:
Everyone has a little thing they do that annoys others, and I've noticed that and scaled it down, and how do you react?
More whining.
408093 ...Eh. I'm just trolling. I was bored 'cause my computer is being shitty to me. Why I'm trolling...I have no fucking clue...
Buuuut....I don't think MLD is shit, Like you said in another comment.
And, I think I should meet this "IraqLobster"...
408107
You're trolling?
So you thought that picking on a partialy blind, deaf, autistic, dyspractic brony who is just stating a fact that he sees is funny?
...Nar I joking with you, I mean, I'm the head of the league of Trolling so its alright.
Good day.
408120 I thought you were being serious about the autistic and other stuff. Then I saw you trolled me.
Buuuut....I'm a fail troll.
408125
No the top bit is true.
I was trolling about been angry.
408130 Oh. Ssssorry.... Autism's a bitch, As well as being partially blind, Deaf, And....Dyspractic.
Why must god be so cruel?
408140
1)Asperger syndrome.
2)Short sighted.
3)Glue ear.
4)Dyspractic. (No balance.)
5)Born in june, suppost to be born in august.
6)Had water on the brain.
7)Had weird feet that needed to be fixed.
8)Had my tonsils removed as a child.
9)Catholic.
The list goes on.

It's always a pleasure coming across other fanfic readers who know rubbish when they see it, Yes I also thought it was an awful story.

Thou is right.
Good day.
408075
G'day mate
This is very cute so far!
Also, when I saw the word "Australia" I immediately favourited it.
/| ?

Wondeful execution though. loved it!
Nice tribute to My Little Dashie, keep up the good work.
407742 no heart.
408519
(\ :D Brohoof!
You know why Fimfiction is better than Fanfiction? Because you can make a new story, And add chapters without adding them from your hard drive, Or files, and stuff. You can make it right on the site!
...
I'm not sure if that made much sense...
411110
Hmm...you're right! XD I never realized :D
411040
Aussie brones ftw. Anyone else? /)
408171 My GOD IS STUFFING A FUCKING TOIKEY UP MAH ASS!! And it hurts...
