> First Light of a Dreamer > by Digital Singer > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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. > The Song and The Sleep Back > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Once Digi was done singing she stepped back and bowed slightly, lowering her head as she took a few steps back to escape the roaring crowd and into a room were she could think. "I hope everything was alright and went well.." She spoke softly as her mother, Fluttershy, entered the room. "Digi, you did amazing out there." Her mother said as enthusiastically as her soft voice would get. "You really think so?" She said, turning her bright red eyes to her mom. Despite her soft spoken mother, Digital's voice was a strong and very much an attention grabber, while, at the same time, it was still sweet and caring. Fluttershy giggled lightly and she rubbed the top of her daughters head. "You always are, my dear." She said, softly kissing her daughters forehead. "I guess I just let my stage fright get the best of me sometimes.." She sighed, staring at her bright pink mane in the mirror in front of her, her bright red eyes not looking at all happy. Digital was only a young filly, and didn't want to give up her childhood for the lime light, but she felt it was the only way she'd be able to find her father. She blinked softly staring at herself and her mother gently taking her hair out in the mirror. Her hoof going over her nose as she went into deep thought. Every time she tried asking somepony if they knew who her father as, nopony would give her an answer, not even Apple Jack! She would simply say; "If yer mama hasn't told you yet, duncha think she hada reason not to?" Apple Jack was right, she was alright right. Her mom never tried keeping things from her with the intention of hurting her. "Ow!" She flinched, being pulled back into the highly lit room. Her mother had pulled on a knot in her hair. "Mom! That hurt!" She whined softly, putting her hoof where she felt a slight throb. Grumbling, she laid her head on the desk and stared at the mirror, looking around the room through it. She huffed getting bored easily. "Are you almost done?" She whined again, staring up at her Pegasus on a mom. getting the last thing out of her hair; the tiara. "Almost done sweetheart.." She said calmly, working quietly and as fragile with her daughters hair as she could. Finally, she slipped it out, causing Digi's mane to fall in her face over her horn. "Oh brother.." She sighed, almost as dramatically as her foal sitter, Rarity. Now that was someone she missed dearly. Rarity had promised Fluttershy and at times, begged her to let her watch Digi. She loved dressing up the little aqua colored unicorn. Digi loved her aunt Rarity, the white unicorn would let the small filly draw her dresses or give her thoughts on her current one she was working on, for some reason, she seemed to be the only one who get the gorgeous Fashionista. "There.." Fluttershy said, pulling away from her daughter, letting her take a look in the mirror. Her hair was just the way it should be, down and flowing, much like her mothers usually was. Digi shook her head slightly, to fix all the tangles and stood, her red eyes traveling to her mother. "Can i go back out and talk to Pinkie? She said she wanted to talk to me when i was done singing." The small filly looked at her mother with a plea. "Course." Fluttershy moved out of the way for the unicorn to pass her, and walk out the door. Digi kept her head to the floor the whole way back into the auditorium, trying to avoid any encounters with the other ponies. As she closed in on the room, she spotted Pinkie and shouted to her, her voice echoing and going straight to the party pony. Pinkie stopped and got back to her front legs. "There you are Digi! YOU DID SO GOOD!" She shouted with glee as Digi flinched from the sudden shout of her name . "Please, Pinkie.." She said, almost as quietly as her mother did when she was scared. "Oh right, sorry.." She spoke softer. "Fallow me." Pinkie said, pouncing into a private room she had reserved for herself, with Digi fallowing close behind. "So you wanted to find a way back?" Digi looked puzzled, "Go back?" She blinked up at the pink earth pony. Pinkie looked at her with a confused looked "Huh? Go back? Go back where? You want to go back to the auditorium? But we just got here!" She looked frustrated at the Unicorn for the first time in her life. "No, I have a surprise for you." She smiled brightly, "But you gotta lay down first." Digi did as she was told, with a puzzled face no doubt. "Okay, I'm laying down, N-now what?" Her bright eyes traveling to the older pony. "Close your eyes~" She sang happily as she turned to her with the same sweet smile on her face. "And count to three!" "One... Two..." Before she could count to three, blackness surrounded the small filly and she was asleep.
