> The Magic Coin. > by imgonenow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Story of My life. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Sorry if this story is a big piece of crap, but if it goes well, I will get to chapter send in chapter 2. Plus if you can draw, pm me, I need a cover. Don’t forget to THUMB, COMMENT and if you like it TRACK.) Every day was the same old routine: I would wake up, get dressed, have break fast in the mess hall, go to school, then come back to the orphanage, study, play video games. Up till now, my day would be grey and sad but I would watch some sweet My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the only thing that lights up my day, bring me cheer, and keeps me going, giving me hope that, one day, I will be adopted by a caring family. The part of the city where I lived didn’t bring any light to my heart. Every day was cloudy, fogy, and most of the time: raining. At night the sky would get clear and the moon would shine through my bedroom window, shine on my face, some times I would hear gun shots, police cars with their alarms on and car crashes, they allways wake me up. Most of my time of sleeping was replaced with day dreaming about what it would be like to be in Equestria, living the life of a pony, and enjoy the way of life. I would dream about flying with Rainbow Dash, partying with Pinkie Pie, taking care of animals with Fluttyshy, studying with Twilight Sparkle, helping out Apple Jack, and going to the spa with Rarity. Even if I was given a chance to be a stallion and live the rest of my life in Equestria, what were the odds? And why me? My life is no worse than that of those who live in war and corruption. But then again, why not me? My life is dull, sad, I was lonely, I had no family, no friends, just pain and tears. But it was all going to end soon, two weeks from now I will finish high school, and turn 19. I would have to leave and start on my own. One day, when I got back to the orphanage from high school, without thinking, I went straight to my room, and locked the door behind me. I was lucky to get my own room, it was smelly and old but still, it was way better than having to share onr with the other guys, they would beat up a soft guy like me. I closed my eyes for what seemed like hours and just day dreamed. When I opened my eyes, I grabed a huge a piece of paper and started to draw. After an hour, I stopped and gazed on my drawing, I whisper then to myself: “what was I thinking?” The drawing was made with three rings, with the third inside of the second and the second inside of the first. Between the first and second ring was drawings of plants, trees, flowers, crops, earth. Between the second and the third were clouds, some raining others idling. And in the center, the third ring, was a hybrid of the moon and the sun. I look at my drawing confused, I dropped the drawing letting it glide to the floor and said to myself again: “Idiot, it’s just a show, why do you try?” I looked down to my drawing and dropped a tear, knowing there would never be a way, to make my dreams come true. As the tear fell and landed on the paper, I turned to my bed and laid on it, but just before I could close my eyes for a nap, I saw bright lights on my ceiling, I got up in fear, and noticed that the light came from my drawing on the floor. As I stare down my creation giving it self color I picked it up, staring at it. I looked at the detail of the color, and smiled, but the magic wasn’t over, it ignited randomly and burned down to ashes. As the ash fell to the floor I notice a coin on the floor. I picked it up. It was warm. I looked at the heads of the coin, it was like any other dollar coin, but when I turned it, I was shocked. The same drawing I made that had burned to ash, was carved behind the coin. I stared deep into it, seeing every detail, but in a blink of an eye, it gave of a huge flash, blinding me. As thing got clear, and became able to see again, I notice I was laying down on a soft carpet with my back facing up. As I got up and rub my face with my hoof….Wait? My hoof?!? I stared at my own hoof, my heart was beating faster every second I look it, and the only words that were able to slip through my lips were: “What in Dante's inferno?” As I raised my head, I saw I was surrounded by white strong stallions wearing gold armor over their coats, with their wings wide open and their eyes staring down to me. My heart skipped a beat in fear. Behind them standed a tall white pony, with a colorful glowing mane, looking down to me. It was Princess Celestia. I didn´t know how I should've felt, happy for my dreams coming true or afraid of getting in trouble. I did what any other clueless intruder would do: I got onto my hind legs and raised my forearms and yelled out loud: “I surrender!!” > Chapter 2: Dreaming? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Thanks for choosing to read this story, once your done, remeber to THUMB, COMMENT, and if you enjoyed it, TRACK.) There I was, standing on my hind legs, with my hooves up in the air. All of the guards around me stood there, as if they were pure stone. After what seemed like hours I lost my balance and fell to the ground with a thump, ending up in the same position as I started. A chuckle broke the silence. The elegant laugh came from the princess, As she looked down to me, raising a smile and I with a frown, she raised her hooves and clapped them together, signaling the guards the “okay” and that they could go. As the strong white stallions with the gold armor walked out of the room and then closing the door behind them, I got up onto my four hooves and looked to Celestia, forcing out a bad smile, walked up to her, and gave a quick bow to her. She looked at me, still with an elegant smile, and stated to speak. “What brings you here young stallion?” I couldn´t believe it, she had the same voice from the show, my eyes opened wide. “I don’t know, I´m not even from here, I mean, from this, uhh, p-planet.” I responded. She then looked into my eyes, I found it quite awkward and started to have “ideas”. She raised her eyebrow for a moment. “I see, you really are not from here. Aren’t you...Joseph?” How could she know my real name? Unless she was reading my mind, but then again, she is a goddess. I gulped, speech less. “Don’t worry, I understand, I can read it in your eyes. Strange, the life you live, but I can see you have a good heart.” Said Princess Celestia with a calm tone. I was surprised, she read my mind, she knows my name, and she might know my past. I started thinking that I was dreaming, and that I would wake up on my cruddy bed soon. But I didn’t mind, I wanted to enjoy my dream, while it lasted. I turned to the tall glass windows, looking out to the horizon, seeing the sun hovering right above it. I turned back to Celestia. “So I how do I look?” I asked with curiosity. “Why don’t you check for yourself?” She responded as she raised her hoof, pointing to a mirror. I quickly trotted over with excitement, wondering how I would look. I looked to the mirror and gazed upon the reflection that showed. I saw my navy blue coat that covered me head to hoof. My Big green eyes. My pointy ears and between them, my white curly mane. I gazed on my own whit tail and looked to my blank flank. But what I kept my eyes on the most was my wings. How could I not see them till now. I opened the large pair, and gave a single flap, causing a thrust of wind around me. “I can’t believe it, I´m a Pegasus.” I said with pure joy. “I can’t wait to try these bad boys out.” As I turned I bumped into Celestia, and looked up to her. “Now isn‘t the time for flying young Joseph.” She said pointing out to the window. It was dark outside, with the moon already risen. I wasted all my time on my looks, and didn’t get a chance to catch some air. “Now, you need your rest, you have a big day tomorrow, we still have to get you your cutie mark.” She said looking to my blank flank. I blushed. “Now please, come with me, I have a room for you to stay for the night.” I followed Princess Celestia up out of the room, to the hall way. As we passed by the butlers and the royal guards they would all bow down to her majesty. She lead me to a large wooden door, with beautiful worksmanship. As she opened the door with her magic, I walked to the center of the round room. In front of me was a table with a mirror and a large wardrobe to the side. On my left was a bed for one. And to my right was a large window, showing all of Equestria. I turned to the Princess. “Thank you.” I said with a smile, she smiled back. “Good night, sleep well.” She said with a sleepy tone. “Same for you.” I said with a yawn. She walked out of the round bedroom, closing the door with her magic behind her. I turned to the bed and hoped on it, and hid under the covers. The bed was soft and cool, with a lovely rose scent. As I shut my eyes, I dropped a few tears, but kept myself from crying, knowing soon, I would wake up in my crummy bed, in the old orphanage, back to my dull world, and maybe forget what I had dreamed. But it was okay, I got used to it after the first 13 years of a cold, unhappy life. > Chapter 3: Another day, another buck. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Big thanks to my Editor and friend : Kuroganekaze02. Dont forget to FAV, THUMB, COMMENT, and if you dont mind, SHARE MY STORY WITH YOUR FRIENDS, more readers would really make me happy and help out. As the sun shone through the window and onto my eyes, I gave out a loud moan and kept my eyes shut, enjoying the dream I had night last night and the comfort of the bed, which I found very odd, since my bed is old and lumpy most mornings. I thought of the epic dream I had last night and thought to me self “My first pony dream, so much win!” But the memory soon replaced with the reminder from my brain about getting ready for school. I allways get up a bit earlier than the others every morning to have the showers for myself, I never really enjoyed being with the other guys naked, hanging around. (If you know what I mean.) As I raised from my bed slowly opening my eyes, still seeing blurs, I rubbed them with my hoof…As I felt my hoof across my long face, I quickly jumped out of the bed with joy, “My hooves.” I yelled out loud surprise. I then started to look around, seeing I was in the same room from last night. The first thought that came to my head was that I was still dreaming, but then again, I really could be in Equestria. I walked to the glass window, opened it, and gazed upon Canterlot .The breeze flew through the window, hitting my face, going through my hair, carrying lovely scents. I was then interrupted by a knock on my door. I turned “You can come in.” I calmly said. The door slowly opened making a creaking sound. Standing behind it was a grey pony, wearing a fine black suit over a white shirt and had a Monocle over his right eye. “Sir, her majesty invites you to attend breakfast with her.” He said with an elegant tone. “Excellent.” I said attempting to sound polite like him and then asked him “Where to?” He turned around, facing the hallway “Follow me sir.” I followed him to the hallway, walking by old paintings, statues, and other big wooden doors. We ended in front of an elevator. As I walked in, I saw how the room was surrounded by mirrors, but no buttons. As we walked inside the butler closed the door behind him and his horn started to give of a grey glow. I felt the elevator moving down the shaft, going straight down nonstop. Once the horn of the butler went back to normal, he opened the door leading to the main lobby. We walked through the lobby, quickly heading to the outside onto a gravel path. As we walked down the trail, I looked at the plants growing; there were trees, roses, lily’s, bushes. I listened to the sounds of the endless chirpings of the birds. The graveled path ended at an opening of grass covered in dew, in the middle of the opening, there was a table with two chairs, one of them taken by Princess Celestia. As we walked over to the table on the soft, wet grass, the butler and I made a bow to Celestia, she smiled, gave a nod to the butler as he left, and looked to me with a smile. “Good morning Joseph.” She said as I walked to the other end of the table, about to take my seat. “Good morning to you as well to you, Princess Celestia.” I responded. I looked at the table filled with baked goods, fruits, and flowers. I didn´t know what to have first. “I recommend the roses, they're quite fresh.” She said to me knowing I was between choices. I looked to her, then to the roses and took a bite of one of the petals. I was amazed by the taste of the roses, I didn´t expect them to taste so good. “Wow, I didn’t expect flowers to be so tasty.” I said after I swallowed. Celestia gave me a smile and I gave her one back, and continued with our meal. After we finished breakfast, Celestia and I took a walk around the Garden. “So Joseph, have you thought about how we could get you, your cutie mark?” I looked to it in a bit of shame on myself. “I haven’t really thought about it, I guess it’s going to take a while to find my talent…But Princess Celestia, could I ask of something from you?” We stopped walking as she looked down to me. “Could you, maybe, not call me Joseph, but maybe a new name?” I asked her. She looked at me and grimed “Of course dear.” We continued walking around the green garden. “We still have to find you a cutie mark still.” Celestia informed to me. “Don´t you have any talents back at earth?” She kindly asked. I took a moment of thinking. All I did in my last years was school, video games, work, sleep and eat. My life as a teenager was not very exciting. But I did have one talent, the head master of the orphanage would teach a few kids how to play the piano when they were young. He always told me I had an ear for sound, and quick fingers. “I do have one talent…I played the piano when I was young, I loved playing it, but times changed, besides…” I looked down to my hooves silently. We both stopped walking; Celestia brought her hoof to her chin and started thinking. She then had a look in her eye, and smiled to me. Her horn started to do a white glow, a white light appeared in front of us, it slowly got bigger, then exploded. Next thing you know, there was a piano before us. I walked up slowly to the piano, and stared down to the keys. “I don’t know Princess, I mean, I don’t have my hands.” I said with a frown. “Just give a try, I’m sure you can do it, just believe in yourself.” She said trying to cheer me up and give me hope. I stared at the keys a little longer, thinking, remembering what I learned. I slowly rose by hooves up of the keys and stated slow and simple. The melody I was playing wasn´t a big thing it was slow, and only used 5 notes. I tried something difrent, a faster tune and a more difficult melody. It went well, but still nothing compared of what I did when I was a young human. I played faster and added more notes to the song, but it went downhill from there. The soft melody turned into loud bangs. I stopped playing and looked down. Celestia, who was listening to the whole thing felt a bit bad, and put her wing around me. “That’s it.” I said aloud. I opened my wings, Celestia stepped back, as I started to slowly play with my wings open. The melody was like the first, it had 6 notes as I played with my hooves, but then I started to use tip of my wings to play. The melody started to have more of a grand tune, it was quicker, faster, better than what I played when I was young. Celestia was amazed by the way I played the piano with the combination of my wings and hooves. I played the melody for minutes and then finished with a bang. Celestia clapped her hooves together “Well done, well done High Note!” I turned to her, and rose an eyebrow to the name “High Note?” I gave a smile to her “High Note, yah, that’s a great name.” She smiled to my response. “I see you earned your cutie mark as well.” I turned to my flank, seeing a G-clef surrounded by other notes in the middle of the navy blue. “I did it, I really did it.” I turned around and said with joy. > Chapter 4: A taste of Air. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I and Celestia both had a smile on our faces. We walked towards to a steep cliff looking over Equestria. It was quite a sight. Up in the air, I saw dozens of hundreds of clouds hovering over Equestria in the sky, but none were like the great city formed by clouds, it must have been Cloudsdale, I thought to myself. Under the clouds, I could see the green fields and trees, and noticed the rivers and train tracks that cut through them. One of the train tracks leaded to a small town. It was Ponyvile. The great grey mountains surrounded Equestria, protecting it from the outer world. And above all was the Sun, it was right over our heads, must have been midday. I took a deep breath, staring at the view. Countless thoughts went through my mind, but only one caught my attention. “How did I get here?” I asked with my eyes still enjoying the vast landscape. Celestia turned her head to me, and then back to the view. “Remember that sketch you drew, remember how it went in flames, leaving only ash and a coin you call “dollar?” I turned my head to her. She must have been reading my mind again. “That brought me here?” I asked with a clueless look. “Yes, when you drew that symbol, along with the magic from your tears, the combination made the very same coin I have.” Her horn gave of a white glow; with her magic she brought a coin between us. The gold coin was looked old and used, but it had the very same markings of the one that I made. “These coins have the power to teleport from one to the other. Not many are out there today, but the way they are made kept is very well hidden.” Celestia explained to me. I was still very confused, I still don’t understand, there had to be more. “Bu-but I never had any magical powers, and what about the sketch, how could I know that? There is still so-” She putted her hoof over my mouth, shutting me up. “All shall be told in time High Note, besides, I know deep inside, you want to open your wings and fly to Ponyvile.” She was right. I looked at her, forcing a smile- “Yah…Fly.” I never flew in my whole life, I didn’t know how, I was afraid to fall from the sky all the way to the ground with a *splat.*" I said. “You can do it High Note, I know you can. You did it many times before in your dreams.” Celestia said encouraging me. I took a step closer to the edge of the cliff. I opened my wings and look down the edge. I started shaking nervously and gulped. I was frozen except for the shaking. I was just about to take a step back, but all of the sudden: I was pushed over the edge. “Shit, shit, shit, shit.” I yelled quickly in fear. “I can’t believe that Celestia pushed me of the edge, I´m going to die.” I thought to myself. I closed my eyes, hoping this was all a dream, a dream about to end. The breeze from the fall stopped. I slowly opened my eyes. I was hovering, My wings where flapping, I was flying. I launched myself into the light blue sky. “I knew you could do it High Note, all you needed was a little push!” Celestia said, cheering me on. I looked at her quickly, giving her a quick glare, and then back to the sky. I smiled and dropped tears of joy from my eyes, but they quickly fell off with the wind hitting my face. I never had a more exciting or near death experience in my whole life. As I headed back to the ground, I noticed a the same butler that was at my door this morning, was beside Celestia, with his horn lit and a blue saddlebag hovering beside him. I slowly landed befor them. “I guess you will be on your way then.” Celestia said with a grim. “Here, have this saddlebag, you could use it.” The butler's horn lit up, and with his magic he strapped the bag onto my back. “Thank you Princess.” I simply responded. “There is also a letter in there for Twilight, could you give it to her personally?” I gave a nod and turned to the edge of the cliff. I was just about to fly, but before I took off, I ask Celestia: “Could you keep it a secret, you know, about me being a *Cough Cough*” Celestia nodded. “Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me.” I Gave a final smile, flapped my wings, and flew into the bright blue sky, heading to Ponyvile. As a human I always wondered what it was like to soar through and over the clouds. As a young boy, I always wanted to lay on one, and form them into all sorts of shapes. But that all died, thanks to scholar education. But now, the dream had been reborn, and became reality. Soaring through the air, with the wind on my face, the sight of the land under my hooves, and the fact I'm able to grasp my dreams felt so real. And it was. I wasn't the fastest of flyers, but It was okay. I'm half way to Ponyvile and there's still plenty of day light. The trip there went alright, till I stated to feel a little light headed. It slowly turned into a painful headache. I started to have flash back of Earth, bad ones, from times I would get beaten up, to the news stories of wars and murderers. I couldn’t bare the pain in my head. I crashed landed into a cloud. I slowly rubbed my head with my hooves, I took deep breaths and layed on the cloud. The pain quickly went away, and the memories replaced with the thoughts of the soft cloud. “It must have been the thin air.” I whispered to myself. I was pretty high up for my first time of flying. It was the best the best logical reason I guessed. I jumped off the cloud and slowly headed down to closer to the ground, just over the tips of the tree. I was on the my way once again to ponyvile. > Chapter 5: Meeting the manes. Pt.1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Sorry for taking a while for chapter 5, I´m still not done with it yet, this is just part 1 of the chapter, I really lazy, but I wroking hard on part 2. Dont for get to THUMB, COMMENT, add to your FAVS if you like it and tell everypony you know, I would love more readers.) The size of Ponyvile grew lager every second as I flew closer to it. I could see the from town square to the Everfree forest. But what caught my attention the most was the hundreds of trees with red specks on them. I must of have been flying over Sweet Apple Acres. I flew over the tree covered land scape looking down. I noticed that there was a line of carts filled with apples. There must have been at least 30 of them. I headed to the ground and landed on the dirt road. I looked around, but there wasn't any sight of anypony. I slowly trotted to one of the apple filled carts. I slowly pushed my head closer to the apples, taking in a big whiff. The apple had a different smell from back home, a better one they seemed more organic but still shining red of freshness. I couldn't resist eating an apple, I was pretty hungry from the flight from Canterlot. I slowly open my mouth, and about to bite into one of the red fresh apple, but all of the sudden I heard somepony yelling: “Hey you! What ya doing eating ma apples!” I quickly turned, shoved my hooves together and forced out a smile: “Who me?” I asked stupidly. An orange mare with a blonde mane wearing a hat came up to me with an angry look: Apple Jack. “Oh excuse me, I was speaking to that rock over there.” She said sarcastically. I gave a quick chuckle but quickly covered it up. “Sorry, I´m just really hungry, I haven´t ate since I flew from Canterlot.” I said nervously. “Well you ain't going to eat any of my apple, especially for free, I took me all day to buck these down.” She said still glaring at me. “ Yah I could tell…I'm really sorry.” I responded with a frown. She looked at me and took her angry look and replaced with a smile. “Well that’s okay. It’s just hard to see all that hard work fly into somepony's mouth.” She said calming her tone. I gave a quick chuckle and slowly grinned. “Looks like you got a lot carts on your ha…hooves, you got any help?" I asked. The mare walked up to the of the carts, and strapped it to her. “This, ah this is nothing, 33 carts is an average day for the Apple family.” She started to pull the cart down the old road. “It’s the trip to the barn that's the real pain.” She said in her southern accent. I looked into the horizon to see the big red barn and then back to see all the other carts. “It’s going to take until night to get all those carts there.” I thought to myself. I quickly trotted to one of the carts, strapped myself and started to pull. It was an heavy load, but I could take it, besides I couldn't let Apple Jack do all that work. I quickly trotted with the heavy load on my back and caught up with Apple Jack. “Now what ya doing? Stealing my apples?” She asked me. I gave of a chuckle. “Nope, just going to help.” I responded with a smile. I knew Apple Jack wouldn't say no, but she still gave a confused look to me, but quickly replaced it with a smile. “Well then, I'm Apple Jack, the toughest cow girl you can find in this farm.” I raised an eyebrow looking at her. “Well then Apple Jack, I’m High Note.” I said with pride saying my new name. Apple Jack takes a good look at me and then asks: “What brings you to Ponyvile High Note?” I slowly raised my head into the sky and looked at the sun. It seemed like 7 in the afternoon. I then looked back to Apple Jack. “Well, where I came from, I wasn't really happy, I didn't really know what was my point of living. I guess I picked up myself and just ran away from everything. I found myself in Canterlot, even got the chance to meet the Princess. I left Canterlot later this morning and now I'm here.” I said giving a smile. Apple Jack looked a bit shocked. “You ran away? What about your family and friends?” I lost my smile and looked down to the dirt road. “I don’t really have any family…I…I'm an orphan. As for the friends well, I don’t really consider the people I knew friends.” Apple Jack showed a bit of pity on me. “Well then, whatever you’re looking for, I bet a bit you could find it here.” She said trying to cheer me up. I looked up to her and gave a smile as we reached the barn. We dropped of the carts and headed back, there was still 31 carts to get. As I helped Apple Jack with the carts, we spoke a bit and shared some laughs, she even offered me to have dinner and a bed at her house tonight since I didn’t have any other place to go. As we arrived to her home, I was greeted by the family: Big Mac, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom. For dinner we had some vegetable soup, some salad and to top it off: Apple Pie. We talked for a little while, they asked me about my past life. I told them I was from Manehattan, about my time in the orphanage, and the life in the city. Of Couse I kept the details about being a human, I was very careful to make sure my true identity would never be discovered. After the grub and the chat, Apple Jack lead me to the guest room. After we said to each other good night, and she left the room, I quickly went to sleep. I woke up with a clear mind, and full of energy, I was ready to take the day on. I headed down stairs to the kitchen, said morning and thank you to the family. I was offered to stay for breakfast, but I denied the offer, except I took an apple and headed out the door, and flew off. > Chapter 5: Meeting the manes. Pt.2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (dont forget to share, comment, fav and comment if you like the story.) I was in the air again, flying my way, looking for the library where Twilight could be. I promised Celestia I would deliver the letter to her personally, but I guess being a mailpony wasn´t my specialty. I flew around town, up and down. No sight of the library or Twilight. I was getting impatient. I headed to the ground, planning to ask somepony if they could give me derections. But just as I was about to land, a blue blur crashed into my head. *BOINK.* of head pain and dizziness. “Wha…? What? Did you say you’re looking for a white bunny? I asked, starting to think straight. “Yah, a white rabbit.” Rainbow Dash said as she turns to me. “Why would you need a rabbit?” I asked again with raised eyebrow. “It’s my friend's pet, he left the her house never coming back. Look, have you seen one? My friend is in tears for losing the rabbit.” Rainbow Dash explained to me in a rush. I took a moment of thinking. The white rabbit must have been Fluttershy's pet: Angel. He must've left looking for some sweets or a better food than what Fluttershy had to offer, I thought to myself. “Have you checked Sugarcube Corner?” I asked forcing a smile. Rainbow Dash looked at me with a funny look. “No…maybe you're right.” She said dashing off. I followed her, barely catching up with the fast blue pegasus. We arrived in front of the candy coated bakery, I was behind Rainbow panting and catching my breath as we walked into the building. All seemed normal in the inside, but we heard some sounds of crashing and clanking coming from the kitchen. We walked into the kitchen and found it in a big mess. There was flour all over the place, pots and pans on the floor, treats and sweets half eaten, and paw prints leading to a small bowl, on top of it was Mr. Cake, holding the bowl down, trying to keep something under it. “Oh Celestia, who knew a little rabbit could cause so many problems.” Mr. Cake said as Rainbow Dash and I walked in. He looked up to us, he was pretty dirty himself, he had flour and frosting all over his clothing and mane. “Oh hello Rainbow…don’t mind me, just having a bit of a pest problem, Pinkie is not here right now.” He said getting up onto four hooves as he keeps one over the bowl. “Mr. Cake I can't help but ask: is there a white rabbit under bowl you’re on?” Rainbow asked as she examines the baker. “Why yes, indeed there is. Oh it must be Fluttershy's pet, isn’t it?” Rainbow Dash forced a smile trying to hold a laugh, I chuckled a bit. Mr. Cake took his hoof off the bowl. A little white chubby rabbit forced the bowl off his body, and looked around. “Come on Angel, time to go back home, Fluttershy is really worried about you.” Rainbow Dash said angrily, with a stare. Angel burped and looked to Rainbow's mad eyes; quickly he jumped onto Rainbows back. “Sorry about Angel Mr. Cake, I'm sure it won’t happen again.” Rainbow said to baker then turned to glare at Angel. We walked out of the bakery. “Thanks for helping me find Angel uh…” Rainbow Dash look at me, not recognizing the new face. “High Note.” I said completing her sentence. “I'm new around here.” Rainbow Dash gave a smile and a hoof saying: “I'm Rainbow Dash, welcome to Ponyvile.” I shook hooves and continued walking. “So High Note, how good are those wings in the air?” Rainbow asked looking at my navy blue wings. “Oh these old things, well they don’t fly as well as they play.” Rainbow Dash gave an odd look for the comment I gave to my wings. “Play?” She asked. “Oh yes, I'm a pianist, not much of a flyer, but I do enjoy the breeze on my face every now and then.” Rainbow looked at me for a moment, then laughed. “What’s so funny?” I asked. “Sorry, it's just, a stallion with a pair of wings like those wouldn't waste theyr time with an old piano.” I stopped and turned to her and gave a grin. “Well then, maybe I'm not just any other stallion.” I said making rainbow raise an eyebrow. As we began walking again, we saw a light yellow pony with a pink mane: Fluttershy. She walked up slowly, looking to Rainbow's back noticing her Angel riding on her. “Oh good… you found him. Thank you Rainbow…I hope it was no trouble.” Said the yellow mare nervously. “Don’t worry, besides, you should be thanking High Note over there.” Rainbow Dash said raising a hoof pointing to me. “Oh, it was nothing really, just a lucky guess.” I said with a smile to Fluttershy, trying not to scare her off. Fluttershy looked at me and gave a quick squal taking a few steps back. “Ah thank you, if you don’t mind…sorry.” She said with a shy tone. My smile slowly faded. “Ah don’t worry about her High Note, Fluttershy's allways a bit shy with strangers.” Rainbow Dash said trying to cheer me up. I suddenly remembered about the letter I had to give to Twilight from the Princess. “Ah, I don't suppose you two know where I could find Twilight Sparkle, I have a letter from the Princess for her and I need to deliver it to her soon.” The two looked to a moment to look at each other, then back to me. I think she might be at Rarity's boutique.” Responded Fluttershy quietly. I gave a nod and then looked around. “And that would be where?” I quickly asked. Rainbow Dashed lifted her hoof pointing to a round building that looked like the Rarity's Boutique from the show. “Thanks, I better get going.” I said as I turned and quickly trotted off, heading to the round building. (And when I meen share the story, SHARE THE STORY!! If not, High Note gets it.) > Chapter 5: Meeting the manes. Pt.3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Special thanks to: RainbowCupcakeBath for making the super epic drawing of High Note, check out the guys art work. He did all by hand, the guy is epic. Any ways, here is the last part of chapter 5, sorry took long, I am so very lazy. Don´t forget to Thumb and Fav if you like the story. And leave a comment of what you think. Plus dont forget to WATCH (stalk) me :D ) I head up to the door of the bright colored 2 storied building, with its oval windows, pink roof and topped with a bright red flag. As I quickly trotted to the door, I notice, lower on the door the cat flaps. I let out a little giggle thinking of the episode when Sweetie Belle used it. *Knock ,knock ,knock* The sound of the my hoof knocking on the purple door. It was quickly opened and I was greeted by light gray unicorn with blue eyes and a indigo mane and tail: Rarity. Her mouth quickly grows into a smile with a squeak as she pulls me into the building. “Perfect, just the stallion I need.” She says pulling me to a platform with mirrors surrounding it. I force out a bad smile and look to the mare. “Ah, you must got me confused with somebo- I mean somepony else.” She quickly turns with a frown on her face, about to commence the drama. “Oh, but please, you must help me, your posture looks exactly as one of my clients. I beg of you, could you try this suit?” She says with puppy dog eyes and her horn giving of a glow, bring in a black suit with dark grey stripes. I simply sigh and twist my neck, making the normal popping sounds. “All right, but I don’t have all day, I go-” I was quickly cut off by Rarity's cheer. The suit had an itchy feel, but then again, I don’t always wear a suit. Rarity kept walking around with her glasses on, putting pins on the suit and giving them some markings. The silence was awkward, so I tried to break the ice. “Oh, by the way, I’m High Note.” Rarity stops and quickly looks up to me. “Sorry?” She ask as if she did not hear me. “I'm High Note.” Rarity bumps her hoof softly onto her head as if she has forgotten something. “Oh yes, how rude of me, I am Rarity, the grand fashion designer of Ponyvile and owner of this Boutique.” She said with elegance, while taking of her work glasses with her magic. “I believe it is done, I am very grateful for your assistance High Note.” Rarity’s horn starts to give if a glow, then onto myself. With her magic, she slowly and carefully takes of the suit and I'm standing like stone. Once the suit was off, I hopped off the platform and started stretching my wings and legs and put my saddle bag on. “Now Rarity, I guess you're going to have to repay the favor?” I said slowly walking up to her. “Do you know where I could find a mare called Twilight Sparkle?” I ask, waiting for the answer. “Ah, yes, Twilight was her before you came, I believe she went back to the library. But, may I ask what business you have with her?” She ask with curiosity, but still elegantly. “I have a letter for her, from the Princess, she wanted me to deliver it to her personaly.” Rarity looked at me a bit more excited. “Oh the Princess, how did you meet her majesty?” She asked, trying to get some gossip. I force out a smile. “I really don’t have all day, do you mind, telling me where is the library? Rarity gave a sigh, and told me the location of the library. After saying my goodbyes, I quickly head out, and flew over to the a large hollowed-out tree. I walked past the sign, looking to the door with the drawing of wax candle on it and gave it 3 hard knocks. *Knock, knock, knock* After a moment, the door opened by a little a purple dragon with green spikes and eyes: Spike. “Ah, hi there, how can I help you?” Asked the little baby dragon. “Yes, I'm Looking for Twilight Sparkle, I have a letter for her.” I said as I slip in my face into my bag, and bringing out the sealed letter in my mouth. “Who is it Spike?” A voice said in the distance. “It’s for you Twi.” Responded the young drake. A light mulberry pony with a violet and rose mane and tail and violet eyes shows herself: Twilight Sparkle. “How can I help you?” She said as she walks up to the door. “Ah, es, is is or ou.” I said with the scroll in my mouth. “ T's om Prinsss Elestia.” Her horn glows, and makes an aura around the scroll, and pulls it out of my mouth with her magic. “Its from Princess Celestia.” I said correcting myself. As I stand at the door, Twilight opens the letter and reads it to herself for a moment, then with her magic, she sets the scroll to the side. “Well allow me to introduce myself: I'm High Note, I'm new to Ponyvile. To be exacat. I got here yesterday.” I said giving a short bow. “Oh, well then High Note, welcome to Ponyvile.” She said “As you already know, I am Twilight Sparkle, and this is my apprentice and friend: Spike.” She said pointing to the drake with her hoof. “As for the letter: It says here that you will be assisting me with one of my studies that the Princess gave me a few weeks ago.” I was a bit surprised from hearing that from Twilight. I strolled in and close the door behind me with my hind leg. I took a moment at looking around the room. Its was quite natural, the carved out shelves were filled with all sorts of books, there was a case of stairs that lead to the living area, and the center of the room was a round table with the wooden carved horse head on it. I then looked back to Twilight “And what subject am I supposed to help you with?” I asked. “Corruption.” She simply responded. The very word gave a chill down my spine. Corruption, one of the things I hated most of my old home. The very word started to give me flash backs. “High Note?” Twilight called for me as almost went into day dreaming about my past. “Yah, corruption. That sounds interesting.” I responded mindlessly. “What else there did the princess wrote in the letter?” “That and it saying you're new in town, and that you could use the help to settle down. Do you have a place to stay for the night High Note?” She questioned me looking into my eyes. I was just about respond to her but I was caught into big bright violet eyes. I couldn't resist it, her gaze was heartwarming. As I looked into her eyes, I felt something I have never felt before. I sawn it, it was right in front of me. I saw a spark of love. We gazed onto each other’s eye for what seemed like minutes. But it was quickly broken by the sounds of knocking on the door behind me, startling me. As I turned, I saw Spike quickly heading to the door. Behind it was a Pink mare, hopping up and down. Her mane was a darker pink and she had light blue eyes: Pinkie Pie. She quickly jumped in and got between me and Twilight, speaking to her in rapid speed. “Oh Twilight, did you hear? There's a new pony in town. Rainbow Dash and Apple Jack told me about him. They said he is quite the helpful stallion. I just came here to see if- ” Pinkie suddenly stops with a gasp looking to me. “Oh it's you, you’re here, wow. Welcome to Ponyvile! It’s going to be great, I can’t wait to be friends. Ooh, I'm going to have to throw you a party.” She said all in a rush, putting a her arm over my neck, almost squeezing me. “Yah, great.” I said in trying to get out of the head lock. “But, I think there is no time for that now, I mean, it’s nearly sun down, and I had a busy day." I say, trying to talk my way out. “Oh, you’re right, I will never have the party ready now, everypony will be sleeping by the time it starts. Silly me!” She said with a bubbly giggle. “Anyway, Twilight do you mind if I sleep on the couch tonight, since I got no other place to go?” I ask kindly, hoping that she won't mind. “Sure High Note, Spike! Can you show our High note the guest bed room? Spike gave a nod, and then looked to me giving me a motion to fallow him up the stairs, leaving the other to mares to chat. “So, you got a thing for Twilight? Spike asked as we got the spare bed room. I gave a short squeak, and had a bad poker face on. “What are you talking about?” I said trying to not give in. “I could see it in your eyes when you looked into hers. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anypony, besides I have a crush myself on a special somepony.” He said with a taunting look. After Spike left me in the room, I closed the door and headed to the bed. "Man, I love sleeping, these beds are just to attracting. Way better quality then back at the orphanage.” I thought to myself as I laid on the bed shutting my eyes. > Chapter 6: Got a Job. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (SORRY FOR THE LONG WAIT, I have finished this chapter a week ago, but my editor has been a bit busy lately, and he still didn´t get the chance to edit it, so sorry for typos. I would like to thank My friend and editor: Kuroganekaze02, RainbowCupcakeBath for making the epic cover and last but not least....*Drum roll*....YOU, yes you the reader who I have no idea about, THANK YOU, for taking the time to read this. Don`t forget if you enjoy it, thumb, fav and share. And once more, sorry if there is any typos.) Once again, I had another soft, quiet sleep. I was awoken happily by the warm sun shining on me and a fresh warm smell of a pan-fried pastry. “Pancakes” I whispered to myself as I hop of my bed and trot behind the sent with my eye half shut and my mind half awake. The sent let me to a simple kitchen. I slowly walk in, without seeing hardly surroundings except for a round table with a vase of flowers, plates, a stick of butter, a bottle of maple syrup and seated by a pony and a little dragoon. But I didn´t them, my eyes were caught on the large stacks of pancakes. I seated myself onto one of the empty chairs with a sleepy smile. I widely open my mouth giving a loud yawn, loud enough to wake my senses. “Good morning High Note, I see you’re finally awake.” Twilight said giving a chuckle at me as I yawn. I responded with rosy cheeks and a bad smile. “Oh, ah, good morning Twilight” I said scratching my mane. “I was caught by the smell of pancakes.” I looked to the baby dragon and the mare, but quickly back to the stack of pancakes. “Well, what are you waiting for? It´s best to eat them fresh you know.” Said Spike knowing I was waiting for the invitation to dig in. Twilight horn gave a quick purple glow and with her magic she placed a well number of pancakes onto my plate. I responded with a thank you and quickly had a taste of the breakfast treat. They were warm, sweat, soft, ad perfectly cooked. I love pancakes, but the batch I had to be the best I ate all my life. “These are amazing” I said with my cheeks full. “Oh its nothing really” Spike said flattered by the comment. “So High Note, why don’t you tell us a bit of yourself?” Twilight asked trying to start a morning conversation. I took a few moments to respond to finish swallowing the food in my mouth. “Well, I don’t have much of a story really,” I said rubbing my chin with my hoof. I had to tell the same story I told Apple Jack. “I was raised in a orphanage in Manehatten, life was ruff a bit, but I got through it with some bruises. I left Manehatten and ran away to Canterlot, to embrace my almost forgotten talent.” I turned to look at my cutie mark then back to them. “Music. But instead I met Princess Celelstia. She invited me to stay at her castle for the night and latter talked in the morning. “You´re lucky, not my ponies get an opportunity to stay at the Princess´s castle, especially for the first time meeting.” Twilight informed me. “Yah…” I said with a bad smile. “She recommended me to come to Ponyvile and deliver you the letter personally. But when I got here, I gotten a bit side tracked with helping some of your friends.” “Pinkie told e about your busy day yesterday. Which reminds me, she told me she’s going to through a party for you at Sugar Cube Conner, six sharp. “Twilight said smiling to me. I gulped. A party thrown by Pinkie, I was not sure to be excited or frighten; I don’t take part at any social gatherings before as a human. “Pinkie always throws the greatest parties, you´re goanna love it High Note.” Spike said excitedly. The three of us had finish our breakfast, and were in there center of the library. Twilight was getting ready for her daily stuffiest as for Spike does his chores. I was thinking of my plans for the day and thought that I should look for a job and know a bit better of the streets of Ponyvile. I told Spike and Twi about my plan and they agreed. Spike even informed me about a fancy restaurant looking for new musicians. I head out to the streets, to find my path in my new life. The day was beautiful and bright; with a clear blue sky allowing the sun´s light hit the streets of Ponyvile. The cobblestone roads were filled with ponies and carts selling fresh fruits, vegetables, spices and other malicious items. Ponies were all over the place, with happy smiles, chatting with friends and buy their needs. Little fillies and colts would run in rush to school with laughter and joy. The town seemed heaven like. As I reached to the other side of the village, it showed less citizens, but instead well-dressed ponies. The streets were more clean and clear decorated with potted flowers and bushes. There was no street vendors but instead tall three story tall buildings, each with large windows showing all sorts of luxury goods. There was a sign saying: “Elegance.” This was the place Spike told me about. I noticed the door open and invited myself in. Tables and chairs were moved to the side leaving a large space in the center. 2 unicorns, well dressed, were cleaning the floor with a mop with the help of their magic. Earth ponies were walking back and forth from what seemed like the kitchen, bringing crates of fresh fruits and vegetables. On the left side of the dining room was a long marble counter behind was bottle of fine wine and whisky. And over to the right was a large black grand piano just waiting to be played. “Sorry sir, but we are closed at this hour.” Said an elegant voice behind me. I turned to see a silver male unicorn with a white mane and suit. His cutie mark was a glass of wine. “Dearly sorry sir, but unless you have to make an reservation or seeking for work, I´m afraid you must leave.” He asked kindly in a soft tone. “Actually, I´m here for a job. Are you looking for a pianist?” I asked walking up to the gentle colt forcing a smile. “In fact, I am. Please Mr. …?” “Note, High Note.” “Yes, well Mr. Note we are in need of a pianist, but as you can see, we are top notch restaurant. If you do wish for the job, you must prove yourself.” He said motioning his hoof to the piano. “All right, if that what it takes.” I said with a grin heading to the piano. I sat myself onto the soft cushion in front of the grand instrument and got to the position to play. As I brought my hooves slowly over the keys, I took a look at the gentlecolt´s face. I slowly started playing a semi-difficult melody: The piano version of Carry Me Down by Demo Hunter was the first thing that came to mind to play. It was going well for the second time of playing the piano in so many years, but the gentlecolt wasn´t so amused. I knew he would be looking for the “jaw dropper”, so I gave it to him. I slowly open my wings and bring them to my side over the piano keys. I started adding more complex notes, adding, more rhythm and life to the song, thanks to the tips of my wings. I looked to the Gentlcolt one last time. He was amazed. As I finished the melody, I turned to the stallion to see his front hooves elegantly clapping. “Well this is a rare use of wings.” He said smiling at me. “I´m Fine Wine, your new manager.” He said introducing himself. It took a moment to finally realize what Fine Wine said. “y new manager!?! That means I got the job?” He nodded in response. “You start tomorrow, then come back in Thursday and Saturday, between sever and ten of the afternoon, with a pay of 800 bits. Deal? He said bringing a hoof up. I stupidly agreed and shook his hoof without knowing properly if 800 bits a week was any good. “So, I start tomorrow eh? All right I think I can live with that” I said with an excited smile. “Oh yes and one more thing: Wear a suit, this is a five star restaurant, you must dress for it.” He added informing me. I gave a nod, said goodbye and headed for the door. Just I reached outside; I took flight, flying for the first time that day. I flew over to the Carousel Boutique; Rarity probably might fix me up with a simple suit, since she such a fashionista. She was quite happy to see me, but much happier when I asked for her a suit. It took a while, but she found a suit perfect to work with. We both chatted as Rarity marks the line to cut and trim to have the suit fit perfectly. It went quite well. She even offered me a discount, but I was broke at the time and she said that she would put it on my “tab”«.” It was around three of the afternoon by the time I left the Boutique. I flew over town, drawing a mental map in my mind. As I did, I saw Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie and waved them a hoof as I head back to Twilight’s library. “There´s a party waiting for me, and I best get ready for it,” I thought to myself. It was around four when I arrived at the hollow tree. I slowly opened the door to pop my head out with a smile. But just as I did my smile was replaced with a gasp. The library was a mess. Books was scattered ever where. The little baby dragon; Spike was doing his best to clean the place, struggling with stacks of books he was holding as Twilight Sparkle was laid down near a pile of books, reading as if a wasn’t a mess at all. “I don’t remember hearing about a storm hitting here this morning.” I joked trying to catch the mare and drakes attention. “What happened here?” I asked. Twilight quickly got up and lit her horn with magic to mentally carry the book she was reading. “Oh nothing much, just a failed attempt with a spell, that’s all.” She said while a smile to me. “Why don’t you try the spell one more time Twi? Even if it goes wrong again it´s still going to take me all night to clean this mess,” Spike said dropping the stacks of old books. “Alright, just one last time,” She said getting herself to a casting positioning. “You better take a few steps back High Note. “ Twilight warned me. Just as I started to trot near spike, Twilight horn lit up with the purple aura of magic. The purple light quickly covered the room and nearly blinded my eyes as she attempted to cast the spell. As she did, the pile of books were slowly covered by aura of her horn and start to slowly orbit around twilight. Once there was a sphere of books around Twilight, they all started shooting to the shelves and putting their selves back in. Quickly the messy magical room was clearing only leaving the magical mare in the center. I clapped my hooves together amazed by Twilights power. “Incredible,” I cheered causing Twi to blush. “Oh it was nothing really, just a simple organization spell I picked up today.” She said smiling to me. I was just about to disagree, but our eyes met and we went into a gaze, Her big beautiful violet eyes was a sight, magical sparkling as they slowly took every thought in my mind, leaving me only to think: Was I in love? Could she? My thoughts were quickly flown away by the sight of spike jumping between my view of Twilight. “We better get ready for Pinkie´s party.” He said disturbing my final thoughts. “Yah, uh, you know, I might need to take a shower. Ah, you don’t mind if I can use yours Twi?” I asked nervously scratching my mane with my left hoof. “Sure, uh, Spike could you show him the bathroom?” Twilight asked just as awkward as I am. Spike nodded, and motioned me to fallow him up the stairs to the second story. As me and spike walked down the hall, I couldn´t help but whisper one thing: “Thanks for ruining the moment.” Spike raised an eyebrow. “Sorry what?” He said with a chuckle clearly knowing what I said. I simple looked at him and shook my head. I turned the tap of the shower, closed the water curtness and waited outside the tub for the water to war,. As I waited, I couldn´t help but look at my own reflection in the mirror over the sink. I took a deep breath and thought: “I never head feeling for a mare, nor ever for a human girl. I´m I really in love or just perverted?” I thought about Twilight, I tough about being with her emotionally and what it would it be life, and if I would be happy. Of course the my brain started giving me more “mature” thoughts. I slowly open my eyes looking at the mirror and seeing my reflection. Behind me was y wings, wide and open. The wing boner. I sighed and rose my right hoof and quickly smashed it into my face with enough pain to distract my mind and body. After the hot shower, I headed downstairs to the front door. Spike and Twilight were ready to go. I gave a nod and we left the Library and head to Sugar Cube Corner. Spike walked between me and Twilight, but it didn´t stop me nor her from peeping on each other. Even though we didn´t speak our faces blushed. We arrived at Sugar Cube Corner just in time. Pinkie Pie was literally jumping with joy to see me, Twilight and Spike. “Ooh, I´m so excited that you’re here High Note, I can´t wait for you to meet everypony in the party,” Pinkie said with rapid fire. “But you have to try some of my new rainbow cupcakes (A.N: Yes, rainbow cupcakes, enjoy your gory memories *trollface.*) or maybe Mr. Cake´s peach cake. Oh, no, no, no you must try my super sweet sugar shot, it’s a bit heavy bu- ” I lost her there. “Super sweet sugar shot eh? An alcoholic drink? Oh there more behind this show then I thought.” I thought to myself. “Start me up with the super sweet sugar shot then.” I said interrupting Pinkie. Twilight couldn´t help but giggle at me. I turned to ask her what was wrong. “Oh you´ll see.” Was all she responded, almost excited. Pinkie took of with a pink blur, but quickly came back with a tray holding a single shot glass filled with a pure white drink. I looked around to see how everypony was holding there drinks: They wrapped there hoof around it. So I did the same, and grab the strange white drink. I took a sniff of the alcohol which quickly warmed my nostrils with alcohol. Pinkie was motioning to me to take the shot all in one sip. Twilight and Spike just stranded there giggling, waiting for me to take to the shot. I opened my mouth and thrown the drink in , leaving an empty shot glass. My taste buds were shocked with and sourness causing my cheeks to collapse into my mouth leaving me with squished lips together as if I had a hole bag of sour and a throat burning with alcohol as if it was hot lava. The three of the burst with laughter from the look my face on my face and my watery eyes. I started to felt a bit tipsy from a shot, but then again I never drank such stuff. After that moment of laughter, we met up with the rest of the mane 6 and chatted, laughed and told traded stories (some of mine were fake). Fluttershy, like normally, was kind of hard to get to. Nut after a few sweets and a drink or two I gained her friend-ship along with the rest. Music started playing and ponies started dancing. I didn´t have much skill on the dance floor but I was too much fun to care. I gave some twirls and ponyfied dub steps along with a moon walk. We all had a laugh. It was one in the morning. Everypony was leaving due to the fact that we had our daily lives in later that morning. Pinkie with her flat hair, was said that everypony had to leave, but I was able to cheer her up with the fact that I told her that’s this was the first real party I ever went and that I would never forget it. Her hair pooffed into its happy cotton candy as I brought her the smile and joy. Me and Twilight walked back to the library, with Spike snoring asleep on my back. I had the chance to talk to her, but it was a bad idea I thought to myself. I was drunk with drinks and cupcakes. Twi herself didn´t look so well. We arrived at the library and walked in. I dumped Spike onto the couch, hardly waking the heavy sleeper. Me and Twilight said our good nights (or good mornings?) and headed our separate ways to bed. “What a day.” Was the last words that slipped through my mouth as I pulled the cover over to my head. (Guess what....chapter 7.....crazy, confusing apples are going to happen...something to do with an asylum, I don´t know [I do in fact] so stay tuned.) > Chapter 7: The Nightmare. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- (A/N: Okay guys, I´m going to be honest here, this chapter.....IT IS CONFUSING AS BUCK. But you know what, I made it like that. Just take note that Joseph/High Note is dreaming, read well, but still you will be CONFUSED, because thats what I want. You will understand this in the not-so-near-nor-far-future. Special thanks to my dear friend and editor: Kuroganekaze02, check him out: (http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Kuroganekaze02) and say thanks to him. And also the talented artist: RainbowCupcakeBath (http://www.fimfiction.net/user/RainbowCupcakeBath) who made the that epic pic of High Note, check him out at: http://rainbowcupcakebath.deviantart.com/ I´m sure he is more then happy to make you an OC. And also, thanks to: YOU, yes you, the awesome, beautiful, sexy reader.) I stood there. I was standing in a white, soft, cushioned room, similar to an asylum except it lacked a door. There was no way out, except for a small window, covered by steel bars, allowing only eyes to see through. There was no light source except for the window, but yet, the room was lit as bright as day. I spun around to check my surroundings. The room gave of a feeling, a strange one, yet so familiar. I started to notice that I was standing on my two bare feet. I was standing with two legs, I was…human. I was wearing a soft white jumpsuit. My hands and nails were soft, pale, hairless like a baby yet, grown for a young male. I looked closely to see I didn't have any fingerprint, they were smooth as silk. I slowly brought my hands to my face. I didn't feel any hair, nose, eyes, mouth. I was…faceless. What’s going on? What happened to me? Where am I? Was all I could think, I wanted to scream, but I couldn't for the fact, I had no mouth to scream with. “Your head.” Responded a voice from behind me, a voice exactly like mine. I turned only to jump back in shock by the sight of the human figure, standing right behind me. I examined my cell mate: He was about the same size as me, he wore a white jumpsuit as well, except the sleeves were longer and tied behind his back. The face was covered by his long pitch black hair, only showing a yellow smile. “So enjoying your new BORING life? Asked the strange man, starting to slowly frown. “It’s not really like home where we belong” “W-who are you?” I thought to myself, speechless from not noticing him in the first place and because of the lack of mouth. “Me? Why I'm you! Well of part of you to be exact. Well without me you wouldn’t be ‘you’” He says as quickly as Pinkie Pie. “But I'm the ‘you’ you locked up in here. Well not exactly ‘you’, the other ‘you’, your Guilt, Fear and Regret ‘you’. Theyre the ones to blame” I was confused, by every word that came out of his lips. And most importantly, curious of how he knew what I was thinking, with the lack of facial expressions unless he can read my mind. This is just a bad dream formed by to many drinks and sugar I thought to myself, hoping to wake up soon. “Eeyup, just a dream. But it doesn’t mean it isn't real!” He said bursting with a psychotic laughter. “Oh yah, and I can read your mind because well, this is your mind. Anything you think about, will come by me, like it or not.” I was still dumfounded. “Ah god dam it, do I really need to explain it?” Asked the man with a sigh. I nodded in respond. “I'm part of your conscience, I help you make your every move. Of course, the moves I ask of you to do are the ones that bring a bit of trouble, but hey, they also bring up the most fun!" He finished with an almost evil laugh, swinging his head causing his hair to move to the side, allowing me to stare into his pitch black eyes. I felt no fear looking into them, just memories of bad choices I made and regret. “I'm Corruption” He smiled, showing his yellow teeth. “Your corruption.” There was a moment of silence “So, now we are in a world of ponies eh? Well I guess we can handle some fur. Ooh, ah, maybe the white marshmallow, whats her name? Ruby? Ray? Rarity? Rarity that’s the one! Maybe she wants to have some fun!” His speech was growing faster, voice becoming louder. “Imagine her screaming your name. Oh High Note.” He mimics Rarity’s voice perfectly. I stood there, and grew angry in my mind. If I had a jaw, it would've droped and If I had eyes, they would've glared. “Corruption.” I thought to myself. He quickly turns to me, ending his trance and slowly raising a grin. “That’s right, you like the bookworm, the egghead, the geek, the little school girl.” He said bursting with laughter. “What was her name again? Twilight Sparkle? Well I guess she can do. Sigh, sometimes Love can be a real party killer, I think Lust and I better talk to him.” He finishes with a frown, falling to the ground. “If he really is what he says he is, then there's no point in listening. The last thing I want is to have to hurt anybody’s feelings. Just avoid his words.” I thought as I slowly avoided the stare of ‘Corruption’. Corruption quickly jumped up onto two feet: “Oh come on Joseph, just listen to me for once and have some fun, even if someone gets hurt in the process” He said with puppy dog eyes. “Tell a lie, break a heart, snap a bone. One bad deed can get him out quicker!" As stupid as it sound, he was slowly catching my mind, giving me ideas, but all flashed away at the thought: "Get who out quicker?" “Oh someone who promised us…” He took a moment to come beside me and lay his head on my shoulder: “The hole DAMMED world Joseph! Imagine, back at our home planet, but as rulers! Just think about it: The ladies, the life, the revenge!” He said excitedly. Thoughts came through my mind, I started to listen to my dark side. Ruler? Really? Images of power went through my mind along with echoes of people chanting my name and screams of disobedience. “Yes Joseph, all this can be yours in a long time…or you can speed up things” Corruption's voice was inviting and warm. “All you have to do is, hurt, abuse, lie and conquer” His words melted into my mind along with the last words he said echoed through: “Be Human.” The last word shivered my spine, bringing awful memories of getting beat up, lied too, hurt, seeing myself in tears as a child. I slowly felt a brighter side, a better person, tell me no. I screamed in my mind, yelled out: "No, I can’t, I won’t!" “No? No?” Corruptions says, raising his voice. “For too long I have been looking out through your eyes seeing a world I could enjoy, for too long I have suggested to you to take revenge and to live a little, for too long you have been listing to the others, for too long you have been taking the calm road!" He yelled glaring at me and taking deep breaths. He calmed himself and slowly bought a grin back to his face and said: “Soon, all that will change.” And with those final words and not a second later, he jumps onto me, pushing me to the floor. I laid on my back as he looked down to me with his arms tied behind his back.
