chapter 1: Rescue
It was another snowy day in December. Specifically the 29th which meant the family was coming to visit. My mom, my dad, my brother and his wife and child. My brother got married and had a little girl. she's four and is always bouncing off the walls. My brother is twenty-nine and I'm twenty-seven. I'd say I'm happy with my life aside from the fact that I'm a little depressed. My current job is working as a cart-pushing mailman delivering peoples business presentations, cards, well basically Gulliver from 'Gulliver's Travels'.
There's not to much to complain about. I try to be happy, crack a stupid joke now and then. I go to work at nine in the morning and get off at five. I'm going home to meet my parents who just arrived at my house. My mom always brings a little gift to try and cheer me up. One day my parents asked me why I'm always sad. I regrettably told them the truth. They kept trying to set up appointments with Rebecca's brother who's a psychiatrist thinking that would help me with my "depression". Rebecca is my brother, Johns, wife. My depression isn't as serious as most cases are. I'm more sadden really, by what the world is. Lost of death and disappointment, and a tiny bit of hope.

The new year has come, and it's July sixth. The only reason I remember that is because July sixth is when my OC Scribe Scribbles became a character. I submitted him and my mothers character on the fifth and I got an email on the sixth saying that they accepted both my characters. Today would be the sixteenth anniversary of when that happened. I got up and headed to work to find the parking lot full so I parked my car a block away and went to work. When my shift ended I headed back to my car. It was still cold and none of the snow had melted yet. I found a small chunk of ice to kick while I walked to my car. My car was light blue Ford Mustang. I was about to unlock the door when looked back at the chunk of ice I had been kicking. To my right was Missoula and to my left was a little tree grown area, and beyond that were houses.
I decided to give the chunk of ice one last, hard kick before I left. I took a step and kicked it as hard as I could. It went flying through the air into the little forest. It hit a few branches and made some of the snow fall off. I turned back around to unlock my car when I heard a soft, high pitched 'eek!' I was confused for a minute as to what it might of been. After a moment of silence I heard a small 'a-choo!' It sounded like a little kid, a girl maybe. I decided to walk down there and check it out. I started walking towards this little Christmas tree that was just little taller than me. I walked next to it looking around for any sign of a kid when I heard what sounded like footsteps coming from the other side of the tree. I moved the tree to see what was making that sound. There was a another small tree just ten feet away. Some snow had just fallen off one of the bottom branches and it looked like there was some small animal tracks leading to it.
I took a step forward and crouched down to get a better look. What I saw shocked me. It was a little filly...Luna. She was small, about a foot tall, and had a thin layer of frost covering her hair and body. She didn't have her crown, her neck-lass, or her shoes. She had her big blue eyes, her light blue non-celestial hair, her blue fur, but she didn't have her signature cutie-mark. Her signature, as I say, ink splatter on her flank however was still there. Her eyes were wide open and staring directly at me. She was shivering. I thought about My Little Dashie and tried to get closer but the second I moved, she dashed off to the left. I didn't know what to do so I just yelled out the first thing that came to mind.
"Wait! Luna!"
She immediately froze. She apparently knew her name. She turned back to face me. I tried to think of something, anything to get her to come closer. Then I remembered that I still had two slices of an apple in a bag in my jacket pocket. I reached in and pulled out the bag, took a slice and broke it in half. I looked back up at Luna, she was still there. I tossed it just a couple of feet from her. She was standing about fifteen feet away and shivering. She slowly started to walk towards it, she took one sniff and then ate it. I took the other half and tossed it a little closer. She walked closer and ate it too. I took the second slice, broke it in half and out stretched my arm as far as I could without scaring her away. She slowly walked towards me, sniffed the piece and started nibbling until it was all gone. I took the last piece and stretched my arm out half way. She repeated the process and just stared at me.
I still held my arm outstretched and then slowly reached my left arm out. She took a step back.
"No!No!no!" I said in a soft tone so as not scare her away. I continued to slowly reach out towards her. I held my right in front of her face. She inched her way towards and pressed her nose against it. She felt cold against my hand. She must of liked the warmth of my hand because she started to rub her cheek against it like a cat. I reached out my other hand to pick her up. I pulled her in close and held her between me and my jacket. "Lets get you warm." I said standing up and walking back to my car. when I opened my car door I took off my jacket and rapped it around Luna. I sat down in the seat and set Luna in my lap. About halfway to my house Luna poked her head out. I petted her on the head. She was still cold. She wasn't tall enough to look over the dash so she walked up to steering wheel and took a step up. She still wasn't tall enough so she lifted her hoof to hoist herself higher and she stepped on the horn.
she went jolting back when she herd the horn. Her eyes were wide open and her pules were as small as a marble. I couldn't help but chuckle. She got to her hooves again tried to look over the dash one more time. This time she made absolute certain to avoid the center of the steering wheel. I couldn't stop smiling at her amazement in watching her passing surroundings. I parked in the garage of my house and brought Luna in. I hung my jacket up and walked over to the couch. On the couch was my 'Dr. Hooves and Derpy' blanket. I set Luna down and rapped her in the blanket. I made certain that Dr. Hooves, Derpy, and the MLP logo weren't clearly visible. As Luna lay on the couch I walked over to my wood burning furnace and got a fire started. While the fire burned, I went into the kitchen to do something I thought I'd never do. Cook soup. I have never cooked anything without burning it and I have never cooked soup, because I've never liked soup. But in this case I pulled out my moms recipe for my favorite soup. It was only soup that I ever willingly ate. It comprised of noodles, couscous, couscous pearls, bacon and sausage chunks, and a couple of other ingredients I don't have.
I left out the bacon and sausage which only left the noodles and couscous's, but I was able to find some La Molisana. I got out a small pot and started cooking. After a while the soup was done (probably not the best but still good). I was about to poor Luna a bowl when I looked back at the couch. I knew enough about proportions to know that her stomach is no bigger than my fist. I opened the cupboard and reached to the top shelf to grab the smallest bowl I had. I filled the bowl and put the pot in the oven and set it to warm. When got to the couch Luna was already fast asleep. I sat down carefully making sure not to wake her. I put my hand on her cheek to feel her temperature. She was still cold and she quickly woke up with a grunt. I scooped a spoonful of soup and held it in front of her face. She gave it a sniff and took a gulp. We continued to do this until she stuck up a hoof and pushed the spoon away.
I decided to put that bowl in the dishwasher and get myself a bowl. I sat down next to Luna and ate my soup. Luna scooted close and nuzzled up next to me. I continued to eat my soup for a few minutes. I grabbed the remote and turned on the TV and surfed through the channels until I found Brave. We watched the last hour'n'half. After that Wreck It Ralph came on, I guess there was some kind Disney Marathon going on tonight 'cause after that Frozen was next. We continued to watch one Disney movie after the other until it was nine-thirty. Luna was snoozing away curled up in her little blanket. I got up slowly and carefully making sure not wake her. I turned off the lights, put some more wood in the fire and went up stairs. I climbed into bed and laid there staring at the ceiling.
I tried to think of any possible way that Luna could have gotten here. It couldn't have been a test gone wrong. It might have been some evil villain. My head raced and ached trying any possible reason until I noticed the door sway open wider. I sat up to see Luna's tiny head poking in. She walked over to my bed and tried to jump up. She started to slide down off the bed then I grabbed her and lifted her onto the bed. She curled up next to my chest under the covers. I held her close and said.
"Good night Luna."

not the best at. never said I was.
5706911 You can get editors and prereaders for that; it's no excuse to say "this is muh first story." Speaking of "this is muh first story," that's a guaranteed downvote-and-leave-the-story flag right there. I'd suggest removing that bit, because if you don't...let's just say the critics will come and the results will not be pretty.
5706920
thanks for the advice!
5706928 No probs. Trust me, when the critics come, it's gonna be a Medieval mob, complete with pitchforks and torches. Like I said--not pretty.
5706906 Thanks!

no prob
In my opinion the guy's reaction should have been exaggerated, I mean who would not freak out that a magical horse is real and in front of them. Nonetheless good job.
Well, this chapter dosent really say which gender the main character is at all it was a bit confusing. Another part had me very confused.
((They kept trying to set me up Rebecca's brother who's a psychiatrist. Rebecca is my brother, Johns, wife. Its not as serious as most cases are. I'm more sadden really, by what the world is. Lost of death and disappointment, and a tiny bit of hope.))
I am not really sure but is it a male named Rebecca which is the main characters brother or is it a typo lol?
Rather good start on the story either way, keep up the good work.
I think you meant KITCHEN not CHICKEN...
Dude you live in Missoula, Montana?
