Final Notes: I’m not that special; I’m far from it. Last time I thought I was going somewhere with my life, my Dad thought otherwise. Now that he is dead along with my Mom, I live with my brother, which is hardly home. My brother seems to not care on what I do, that’s how I like it.
Saturday, 21 of April. Brother is out doing something for the weekend so the house is mine, last time it was like this was when my dad died and I was alone for a while. I went out for parkour then I saw a light in the back of the abandoned park I live near. I went to look and I was thinking, is this like “My little Dashie”? Will I find a filly Rainbow Dash? I remembered the ending, how I cried so much. I didn’t want that to happen in real life. I ignored if for a moment, and then I heard a sound from over there. I decided to go Daring Do and explore the light flash. As I walked closer I saw some sort of smoke, but it was a purplish color, like a smoke grenade had some food coloring in it. I walked closer and I saw some colors, like Rainbow’s mane, or Applejack’s tail. I put my long hair into a ponytail so if I had to run, I could see where I am going when I do. The smoke started to clear out a little bit and I got a closer look. It was just like “My little Dashie”, but it was more than just a Rainbow Dash filly, it was the mane 6 from the show, all fillies. I couldn’t help to smile and say “d’aww” to myself. I walk closer, just like on “my little dashie” but I didn’t kneel down to it. Instead they sorta looked at me and smiled to see me. Rarity was still asleep. They where in a small fort, as if some one had made it to get away from family or to hang out with friends. I pulled of the branches and let their eyes switch to the sunlight. They must be very small, and very young. They couldn’t speak or anything. They sat there staring at me and are sorta scared out of their minds. I made the shelter stronger so no one can get in; I put a roof on it made from a jacket I found while doing parkour.
“Sleep tight” I say, “I’ll be back tomorrow to get you, I need to make some space for you,” they somehow understood me and sorta bobbed their heads in agreement. I walk home; clear out a section in the basement, then I think to myself with a cup of tea in my hands. “This can’t be happening. I mean, my little dashie was just sad, but fake. I mean, Rainbow was like a daughter to that guy. It was hard enough for him to take care of one pony; I need to take care of 6! My brother never wants to do anything with me so I don’t think he’ll care if I’m downstairs talking to ponies. He hates me enough from watching the show. Wait, I can’t be thinking about my brother when they are out there in the cold. They could die if they don’t get to shelter.” I put down my cup of tea and I get on my bike and I ride as fast I can to the park. I grabbed a box and put a battery powered blanket… thing in it. But I could use it to keep them warm as I’m speeding down the road. Thankfully they are still there, shivering, asleep and there. I pull of the roof, then the wood. They I try to pick them up, they wake up instantly. Of course, just like in the story, they squirm around but I catch them, put them in the box, shut the lid (with holes in the top) and I start to ride home. I almost missed my road because I was looking at the box because they seemed to quiet down and went back to sleep. I walk into the house, down the stairs and I place the box down in the open area. They were still asleep. I needed some to. I whisper good night to them and I walk up the stairs to go to sleep.
It was about 5:30 at night by the time I fell asleep. I woke up from my cat jumping onto my face. I push him off, and then I remember. The ponies. I dash down the stairs to find them still asleep. My eyes sorta watered up from knowing, this isn’t a dream anymore, this is real. I notice one is awake. Rarity. She looks around to see where she is then looks up at me with an expression saying “explain where I am right now,” I giggle to myself and I head upstairs. They must be starving. I mash up some carrots and bring them down in a bowl. They were all awake by now. I set the bowl down next to the box, I have gates set up around their area so the cat can’t get to them, and they can’t get out. They nibble down on the carrots like bunnies. Then I remembered. Drinks…. So I run upstairs, grab my ferret’s extra water bottle, fill it with water and a bit of sugar (for pinkie pie) they run downstairs and tie it to the gate. Now, they are ready to stretch out and eat. I pull each one out, all squirming as I grab them. I set them down gently and walk upstairs again to get my breakfast.
They are bored now. They know what they are living in now. So I do some research and I find, what do fillies do for fun. Now, major bronies would make up some crazy idea and say they like to flip cars over, but that’s just plain stupid. So I keep searching, what do you know? A rule 34 expert. “They like dildos” I then have the biggest :are you kidding me: face on and I keep searching. I find they like building blocks like pumpkin cake and pound cake liked when they were being watched by pinkie pie. So I had some blocks the local school gave me from their kindergarten rooms and I gave them to the fillies. They looked at it with poker faces then finally started messing around with them. I don’t know how I’m going to keep going with this but I hope it doesn’t get to far like my little dashie did.
I woke up today; I got a call from my brother. I don’t understand what he ment but he said,
“hey, Aric. It’s me, jimmy. I love buffalo man, amazing for parkour. I wish you where here man, not with those things you do that I probably should not know about,” I’m a christrian. I don’t fap, does he know of the ponies? My mind flying around I hear something in the basement. The ponies. I walk down and notice them sorta arguing. Great, what I always loved. I walk in and think, maybe cause they are in to small of a space. So I think for a moment, then I call my brother up again.
“Ok jimmy, when you get home and if you see ponies everywhere, its normal. If you don’t, please bring me to the doctors. What, hang on I hear something,” it was like the wind blowing through the house, but all the windows are shut. Then a flash comes from my room. “Um… don’t hang up, I’ll be right back.” I set the phone down and run to my room, and then there stands my favorite pony. Vinyl Scratch. Not really as a filly, but more of a teenager. “Um… h-hi?”
“Um, who are you? Where am I?” Vinyl looks around, then moves around and walks away, but behind her I see Octavia. Both of them standing there, scared and confused. Then I remembered. The other ponies needed more room. So I say to them who I am, where we are, who they are and that I don’t know why they are here and not in Equestria. So I tell them to follow me to the back room and I turn on my ps3 and play some dubstep to entertain them while I get the others. I bring them up in the box I brought them home with. I set them down and let run around. They seemed bigger, older. Like a kid and not a baby. Do they become mares faster than they do becoming old? I didn’t really care. I turned on a few games, played and let them learn how to speak English like Tavi and Vinyl could do. I play and play then my brother comes home.
“So these are the ponies you were talking about? Wow, some of them are actually cute. So you don’t want me to call the cops, or bring you to the doctors do you?
“No” I reply, I look at them all staring at my brother like a god, but not bowing their heads. I say their names and they sorta talk back in English and actually say it fluently. I was proud and dying from cuteness at the same time. Then I realized, they are my daughters, they are like Rainbow Dash from the fan fic. I didn’t care anymore, I was their dad, but I didn’t want them to be forced to be my daughters so I let them live with lots of opinions. My brother now sees why I watched the show, now, I don’t need it. I am living it.
I go to school everyday praying that the ponies don’t do what I feared. Finding out who they really are. I try not to tell anyone at school that I have my little pony characters living in my home. They could do some things that I really would not want. I walk home everyday with them watching stuff like mythbusters or something so I’m not very worried, but one day, I walk home and there they are, sitting on the couch, TV on Netflix with it paused. Applejack and Rainbow Dash sitting there mumbling stuff to each other then Applejack starts.
“How long? How long where you going to keep lying to us? How long were you going to keep it in you?” I knew it. They’d find out sooner or later. I’m right in my little dashie’s tracks. I held in my tears until they got up and walked into their basement. I sit for a moment, turn off the TV then walk down after them. It was 15 minutes, I must have lost track of time but when I got down there, they were both crying away, tears streaming down their face. I couldn’t help it but crying too. I walk towards them and sit with them.
“I didn’t want you know that you aren’t supposed to be here, but since you are I am taking care of you. Its not that I wanted to hurt you, in your heart or otherwise, but you are here with me, and I think you belong in ponyville. Bu-but… I just…” I hug them both closely then they both hug back. Applejack says finally.
“Its ok dad, we forgive you. We just don’t know where we belong. Should we stay with you or find a way home?” I loosen up a bit then say back.
“As of right now, you belong here.” Rainbow Dash is just crying and hugging me closer. I can hear the other ponies at the top of the stairs watching. I let go then get up; I walk up the stairs and get something to drink. I pour a cup of tea and I sit down to watch TV with the others, making sure that I will later block the show on Netflix. It wasn’t how I expected, but I don’t know if I’m still in that tracks of the story. I try my best to stay away from the story, but nothing helps. I somehow draw myself closer. I don’t think I can hold the ponies much longer.
Friday afternoon as of right now. School is done for the week. My brother is going to buffalo again to get some parkour in. that means house and ponies all to me. I see the ponies looking outside; they are desperate for fresh air. I open all the window and doors but keep the screen doors closed. They keep asking why they can’t leave the house, its because they know what would happen. They just want to hear the story again. They run and play, then I get a call from my friend Gabe.
“yo, Aric. Can I come over? I’m bored.” I think for a bit, then I say to hang on and I leave the house for a sec.
“ok, Gabe listen, you can help me out right now, yes you can come over but you are a brony, and you would flip out if you saw characters from the show in my house. But let me tell you know, I do have characters running around the house. I just recently had to talk to applejack and Rainbow Dash and tell them the truth but they are the only ones that know. Listen, you can come over, they have always wanted to meet someone other than me and my brother.” I hang up then walk inside again.
About 30 minutes later I hear knocking on the door, I tell the ponies to wait here while I go get the guest. They all sit in excitement and silence.
“Hey Gabe, they are all in the living room. Just a thing, you can’t tell anyone, that I have these. Ok?” he nods in understanding and walks inside. We sit down and I call for the ponies to come out. Rainbow Dash and Flitter are first ones to show, they fly out and almost tackles Gabe. They have gotten big. They now stand almost 3 feet tall. Like a normal sized dog. We hang out for a while then we eat dinner, and then play some video games like grand trismo and stuff. Not anything brutal like F.E.A.R. 3 or anything. Then finally it’s 1:30 at night. Most ponies have gone to bed except Rainbow Dash and Flitter. They seem to like Gabe. Finally at 4:30 at night we pass out. Rainbow Dash wakes up and flies over to us quietly and kisses my forehead.
“I love you daddy” I was hardly awake but I heard it. A tear falls from my face after she leaves.
“I love you too,” I whisper as she is flying away. I smile as she looks back. She is my daughter now, I don’t think she is leaving.
Its been 15 years since I found the mane 6, no more ponies since I got flitter and cloudchaser. I have bought a home on the countryside living with Gabe and my daughters. I now know that they can’t leave, since twilight teleported the others here. I’m not scared anymore. I know they will stay. But when they pass away, that will be even worse. Now, they ponies can be outside for a mile radius of land. All owned by me. Me and Gabe are “brothers” now, and the ponies are officially our daughters. We live on and on then one day, I get startled very bad from a bright light outside, then a loud angry knocking at the door. It was late so the ponies are in their rooms. I open the door to see princess celestia, pissed off more than a farmer with a cow jammed in his tractor. She pushes me away and yells out some words I don’t recignize at first then I come to. She calls out for the ponies, its time to leave.
“OH GEEZ… Celestia, what are you doing here?” gabe walks out startled as much as I was.
“I am here to keep the fourth wall from cracking!” I know the fourth wall is bull, I say
“no, they aren’t leaving. They are staying here. There is no fourth wall. You are lying. I don’t care if you are the princess or not. They are my daughters now, they live with me.” This is the first time I’ve been this mad. I yell and yell until celestia throws me across the room.
“What in tarnation is going on out here. Who are you? Git outta here. Dad, are you here? Dad? Oh… oh hell no,” applejack sees me now sorta bloody and in pain. Applejack calls for the others, then they all run out (except fluttershy and rarity) and help me up. Gabe however is running at celestia and hits her across the face with a dough roller like a grandma. Celestia flinches and shakes her head in pain, then I am standing next to her, I push her onto her back and put duct tape on her hooves. She gets up and jumps around not knowing what’s going on. Me and Gabe are standing there and laughing and also standing ready for anything. I put my hair in a ponytail and get ready if anything happends. Finally Rainbow dash walks next to the princess, still chewing at her hooves, and simply says.
“the fourth wall is bull. Even my dad says so. Now, either you leave, and go back to where you were, or you stay here with us, and live in peace and harmony. Your choice.” I smile widely and walk up to her and hold out my hand. She puts her hoof in it and stands up. I take of the tape and she puts her horn on my shoulders like in the renaissance times with swords. She claims me as a king, but I am a dad, not a king but that feeling of have a princess in your home, it’s unexplainable. I stand there for a moment then I hug Princess Celestia closely and cry a bit. I know now that my little dashie isn’t happening but it’s a different ending. Now, I live with them, they are my pets. My friends. My daughters. They are, My Little Ponies
