First Light of a Dreamer

A Message From Balloons

I sat there, watching the last episode to the second season, wishing i could reach out and touch some of the characters. Some days I really did feel like my life had turned into complete hell, i just wish i had the girls in My Little Pony, Friendship Is Magic. I would say, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are who i want the most, out of all of them. The song "Love is in Bloom" Rang through my ears as the episode ended. Definitely one of my favorite episodes so far. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza, i related with her a lot, who she was, not what she went through. I could only wish to be like her, being able to just spread love like that. The world needs Princess Cadence, our world does, we need more love, too much hatred. As the episode came to a stop. I put my laptop aside. With my back to my cold walls, I stared blankly out at my room, dark, quiet and haunting with the fan whirring above me. My phone vibrated, i glanced at it, an unknown number appeared with a message under it.

"We have a surprise for you. "

I blinked a couple times, trying to clear my already clear vision. It buzzed again and the same number came up.

"Don't be scared, we wont hurt you. :) "

I read both messages carefully and out loud, breaking the thin silence in my room. I blinked a few times as another message came through.

"We'll see you soon!! /)^3^(\ "

That face, i knew it, i used it on several occasions in chats on Imvu or Skype, usually when talking to a brony-friend. I picked up my phone and typed in the password. The message app came up and i replied. "Who is this? O.o" Placing my phone on my bed i stared at it and waited, but no response. My eyes traveled to the clock on my laptop. Ugh.. It was already 2 in the morning, my head was pounding and who ever was texting me, would have to wait until morning!

As i slipped under my blankets, i quickly pulled my body pillow to me and wrapped my legs around it, his pictures and voice surrounding my thoughts as i quickly fell asleep.

~~~

"Wake up, Shayna." I heard my mom saying sweetly and i grumbled and pushed my hands to my eyes, stretching.

"Hmm..?" I mumbled softly and picked up my phone, looking at the time.. Shiz.. It was almost 12. I yawned softly and sat up, stretching my arms to me feet, attempting to stretch. After a while, i gave up, letting my arms go limp and fall to the side of my legs. I blankly stared at my walls, now brightly by the sun.

My room was a soft lavender color with just plain out randomness sprawled out among my floor and walls, pictures of characters I'm thought up and drawn and even some had writing on them. the ones hanging all meant something to me. The pictures above my mini fridge where pictures i have longed since written about named Ri'iku, a fox demon, girl who honestly was a lot like me. Another, on the opposite side of my mirror hung a picture of a girl named Nana, i never remembered why i drew her or what she meant, she just looked cool. Two more pictures hung on complete opposites of my room, one a picture of a blonde couple holding each other as the girl cried, A role play i used to write with a bunch of friends online, but for what seemed like centuries, that had disappeared. Finally, the picture that remind me of Rainbow Dash; Is a picture of me that i drew sitting donit and staring up at the sky with a rainbow colored lightning bolt flashed out of the sky from a cloud letting little rays of the sun shine through. On the cloud, my name was labeled along with several other nicknames. My favorite thing about this picture was not actually the picture, it was the lyrics that were written on it. Everything Changes by Staind. One of the most life changing songs i have ever heard.

I blinked and looked at my phone to check the time and another text from that unknown number had popped up.

"Rise and Shine!~" The texts where starting to get creepy so i texted back.

"Okay, i asked you last night, and I'll ask you again, who is this?!" I texted back furiously. The next text I got was one I would have never thought could possibly happen.

"Pinkie Pie."

"Pinkie Pie? Really, or is it you, Carter, pulling my leg?" I texted back. Carter had grown to be one of my best friends who was also a brony. He usually did covers on youtube of different stuff on his guitar, only recently had he discovered his liking for rapping.. Which was strange.. Cause.. He's white.. and lives in Georgia. ((Anypony else find that weird? xD))

My phone vibrated again. "Carter? Who's Carter, thats an awefully strange name for a pony, Digi."

I blinked. "Digi?" Digi was my Pony alter ego, she was georgious, smart, adorable, silly and generous, not to mention, an up coming shining star in Canterlot with the help of her mother, Fluttershy, and the Princess.

"This is Digital Singer, right? Or did i message some pony else?"

I sat there amazed. Digital Singer was her full name. "Yes, this is Digi, how did you get my number?"

"Your a silly filly, I met you the other night at the Gala."

As i read the text i stared blankly. 'Gala?' I scratched my head as i tried to remember what she was talking about. Suddenly, i remembered.

The night before last i had a dream about going to the Gala as Digi.

Dream

Digital was looking marvelous when she had stepped onstage, the crowd - and Pinkie - where cheering loudly. As she started to sing, they all hushed and listened closely even the Princess who was talking to a guard was hushed, hearing the sound of the young Filly's voice echoing through her halls.

This is an interesting little concept you have here. It's not entirely like other HiE fics, which is a good thing. Other than a few grammatical errors (non-capitalized "I" and some broken sentences, along with misspelling "were"), you seem to possess a relatively firm grasp of mechanics. Of course, there's more to it than that. If anything, I noticed that you used quite a few "passive" verbs - is, are, were, was, have, had. While there's nothing exceptionally wrong with that, using active verbs can help a story be more entertaining, more descriptive, or just genuinely more interesting to read.

I'm intrigued as to where this story will go. Keep on writing!

Hm potencial. I hope for more plot in the next chapter.

...WHAT!?

Sorry, I had an OC named DIGI (an acronym for her real name) and the staggering coincidence of it was shocking. Of course, there are numerous differences by look alone, but I was thrown for a loop.

Oh, and I'll be faving. Work on that grammar and I am sure that you will have a story that will shine.
