Parker walked home from school, slowly. He hated school, mainly because of the way people treated him, and because of the little things people said. He passed the post office, he was halfway home, he had been awaiting this time of day, he could finally go home and watch some Friendship is magic.
Everyone at school knew he was a Brony, he was proud to state it, he had said it on the second month of school, nobody at first had understood it, but when he explained it, they thought he was joking. He explained it fully, they just laughed and laughed, but he tolerated them, barely.
He finally reached his house, checked the mail and unlocked his door. He walked around his house for a moment, tossing his coat aside, and sat at his computer. He pushed the power button.
"Hello." the speakers sounded, they sounded like..no, it couldn't be...Twilight?
"Hello?" Parker said into his microphone.
"Oh good, I hope you're the one I'm looking for." Twilight's, or someone elses, voice sounded again.
"Who are you?" Parker asked.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight said sheepishly, embarrassed that she had not introduced herself previously.
"Hello Twilight." I said, still in awe, i was talking to Twilight Sparkle, THE Twilight Sparkle.
"Are you Parker Mathews?" Twilight asked.
"Yes, why?" Parker asked, intrigued.
"Our ruler, Princess Celestia of Equestria, said to come and get you." Twilight said.
"What do you mean, 'get me'?" He asked, stupid, the ponies don't 'get' people like that, they're pacifist.
"Close your eyes, take off your glasses." Twilight said calmly.
Parker obeyed.
"Now open." Twilight's voice was no longer coming from his speakers.
Parker opened his eyes, and standing in front of him, beside his computer, was Twilight Sparkle.
"Wow, you're tall." Twilight looked at him.
"Well, I'm 5'10." Parker said, standing up, gesturing to himself.
"Wow, the only pony I know that is that tall, aside from the royal guards and the Princesses, is Big Macintosh, I'll have to introduce you two." Twilight said.
"So what does Celestia need me for?" Parker asked.
"She needs your help with my study of friendship, something about a different species, aside from zebras." Twilight said.
"Where are you going?" he asked, noting that she was heading for his front door.
"Outside, to the library." she said, causing him to block the door.
"What, you can't go outside, you're a pony..." Parker caught a glimpse out of his window, he saw the library in the distance, not his library, but hers.
She levitated him out of the way, and opened the door, showing him, "We're in Equestria, my world."
Parker just looked in complete shock, no more worries, no more school, no more bullies, no more anything from his old world. He followed Twilight closely, walking to the library. They arrive in no time, and she magics the door open, and he is amazed.
"What? You don't have magic?" Twilight asked, noticing him staring.
"No, we don't, umm, was that hard?" he asked, recovering.
"That? That was easy." Twilight said, walking into the library.
"Oh." Parker shrugged, and followed her into the library.
He looked around, it was exact, the books, Owlowiscious, even the shelves under the staircase.
"Spike, Spike! Spppiikkee!" Twilight shouted as the two entered.
"Sorry Twilight, I was just..." Spike ran down the stairs, and stopped mid sentence when he saw Parker.
"Uh, Twilight, who.." Twilight cut him off.
"Parker, this is Spike, Spike, this is Parker." Twilight looked between the two.
"Hello Spike." Parker said happily, extending a hand to shake.
"Parker, huh, hi." Spike shook his hand.
"Okay, now, Spike, Parker here." Twilight gestured to him, "He is a human, remember who Celestia told me to get?"
"Oh yeah." Spike had a realization.
"Parker, follow me, I'll show you your room for now." Twilight said, walking up the stairs.
"I've got a house." Parker said plainly, pointing a thumb behind him.
"Oh, yeah, forgot, do you want some help with moving your stuff?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, I guess." Parker tried to keep his cool, he was still so amazed that he was in Equestria.
The three walked out, and Parker looked around, no ponies were out right now.
"Where is everypony?" he asked.
"They're probably hiding from you, they saw you earlier." Twilight looked around.
"Everypony, I'm friendly!" Parker called out, and Pinkie Pie popped her head from behind a light pole.
"Who, what are you?" Rarity called from around a corner.
"My name is Parker Mathews, I'm a human." Parker said calmly.
"Very well, Parker. Where are you from?" Rarity asked, slowly approaching Parker.
"I am from America, and Twilight brought me here." Parker said, looking around, seeing many more ponies step out.
"America?" Pinkie asked.
"I will explain later." Twilight said.
"Now twilight, why the hay did you bring him here, he's not a pony, zebra, or a griffon." Applejack asked, looking from Twilight to Parker.
"Celestia." Twilight said.
"Oh my, what is wrong with your hair?" Rarity asked, she was three feet from him.
"What?" that caught Parker off guard, he had short hair, but he didn't think it was bad.
"Why is it so short?" Rarity asked again.
"That's how most boys do their hair at my age, at least I guess." Parker said.
"OHMYGOSH!!!" Pinkie jumped, "You're new, I'm going to have to plan a party, and to plan I party, I gotta go..." A pink blur sped towards Sugarcube corner.
"What, was that?" Parker asked, he already knew everything about these ponies.
"She's Pinkie, and my name is Rarity." Rarity held a hoof to her chest.
"Mah name's Applejack, Ah'm watching you." Applejack said the end quietly, poking her hoof to his chest.
"Oy, Parker." A voice from above said.
"What, who?" Parker looked up, and saw a shy pegasus with a pink mane, and a blue pegasus with a rainbow mane.
"Name's Rainbow Dash, and hers is Fluttershy, don't worry, she'll get to know you." Rainbow said.
"Hello Rainbow, hello Fluttershy." Parker waved and looked at the other three, "Hello applejack, Rarity, Twilight, and uh, whenever I see Pinkie again."
"Good, let's get your stuff." Twilight said, and the two walked towards his house, leaving Spike with the others.
"Alright." Parker said.
"And when you get all unpacked, you get to come to your party!" Pinkie popped out from no where.
Twilight and Parker had finished unpacking in about two hours, most of the work was done by Twilight's magic, but Parker insisted on carrying in his underwear and other items.
"So, Parker, are you ready to go to Pinkie's party?" Twilight asked, looking at his now full room.
"Yeah, let's go." Parker said excitedly, heading downstairs.
The two walked down the street for a few minutes, they finally reached Sugarcube corner, he let Twilight lead the way, trying not to know where the bakery was, it was much farther than it looked.
Parker held the door open for Twilight and the two walked in to the dark bakery.
"Hello?" Parker asked, looking around the dark room.
"I wonder where they are." Twilight looked around as well.
"SURPRISE!!" Pinkie jumped out, and then twenty ponies came into view.
"Ahh..." Parker jumped up and hit his head on the door frame.
"Whoops!" Pinkie said as Parker fell into unconsciousness.
"You think he's dead, WAKE UP!!" Pinkie slapped Parker across the face with her hoof.
"Ow." Parker sat up, knocking Pinkie off of him accidentally, "What happened?"
"You hit yer head." Applejack said.
"How long have been out?" Parker asked, his head panged with pain.
"About five minutes." Twilight said.
"Really? That wasn't very long." Parker said, standing up.
"Yep, now, time for the PARTAY!!" Pinkie said, and almost magically, party music started.
Pinkie put her hoof on his shoulder, and stood on her hind legs.
"Over there is the punch." she pointed her free hoof at the punch.
"And there's the Cakes."
"Oh, and that's Gummy!" Gummy ran up to them, and clamped himself on Pinkie's mane, upside down.
"And I'll introduce you to the ponies!" Pinkie finished.
"Okay, what are those?" Parker pointed to some wrapped boxes, presents?
"Oh, those, they're your presents!" Pinkie rubbed his head with her hoof.
"Presents?" Parker asked.
"You know, gifts, goodies?" Pinkie had never met somepony, err, somehuman that didn't know what presents were.
"No, I know what they are, but why?" he was dumbfounded.
"You're new, everyone who's new gets presents!" Pinkie jumped.
"Cool!" Parker said, a huge grin spreading across his face.
Pinkie must've noticed, because a grin was spreading across hers as well.
"I knew you'd love it!" she ran off, leaving Parker with Twilight and Rainbow, who had just arrived.
"Hey Parker, sup?" Rainbow said, walking up to him.
"Nothing much, you?" Parker said.
"Meh, me either." Rainbow said.
"Oh, this is Fluttershy." Rainbow stretched her arm and pulled Fluttershy through the doorway.
"Hello Fluttershy." Parker outstretched a friendly hand, Fluttershy flinched.
"Hi, umm, my.." Fluttershy dug at the ground, "Hello, P-Parker." Fluttershy slowly rose her hoof to shake his hand.
"What do you like to do?" Parker asked.
"Oh, well, I, I like taking care of animals." Fluttershy perked up a bit.
"That's interesting." Parker said.
"What do you like to do?" Fluttershy asked.
"Well, I don't do much, I, I'll tell you later." Parker's expression dampened.
"Okay, I'll see you around.
"Okay." Parker walked towards Rainbow again, he and Fluttershy had been moving apparently.
"So Rainbow, what do you like to do?" he asked, he already knew, but he needed to get to know them better.
"I love flying, oh and the Wonderbolts, yeah, I'm the only pegasus to do a sonic Rain-boom." Rainbow jumped and hovered in the air.
"Cool!" Parker was awe struck, she was flying.
Parker walked around, he chatted with Applejack, and some with Derpy Hooves.
"Parker!! Come here real quick!" Pinkie's hoof pulled him across the room.
"Yeah?" Parker spun around, adn saw Big Macintosh standing there, in front of him.
"Hello." Parker stuck out a hand to shake.
"Hiya, name's Macintosh, but everypony calls me Big Mac." Macintosh said, shaking Parker's hand.
"So, Applejack tells me that you're related." Parker said.
"Eeyup." Mac said.
Again, Parker was awe struck, it was Big Mac's catch phrase.
"You alright?" Mac asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Parker said.
"So, you're a 'human'?" Mac said.
"Yeah, I'd rather not, I'd want to be a pony more than anything." Parker said, it was true.
"You're lucky, Ah'd want to be a human." Mac said.
"Why?" How do you know what a human is, I thought I was the only one here." Parker said.
"You are, Twilight says tons of cool stuff about humans." Macintosh said.
That ended, well actually, a Pink hoof pulled him across the room again, this time towards Rarity.
"Hello Rarity." Parker said.
"Greetings Parker, now you will tell me how your hair is that color, and style." Rarity said, examining his hair.
"I don't know about the color, I was just born with it, and the style, I call that, normal, I don't know, it just lays that way." Parker said.
"Such a shame, you have such, different, interesting hair, I like the color, that light brownish blond, what is it?" Rarity asked, touching his hair.
"Dirty Blond." Parker said.
"Ugh, anything else you call it, I cannot state that I have dirty blond." Rarity cringed at the word.
"I don't know, light brownish I guess." Parker said, shrugging.
"Quite," Rarity said, pondering her thoughts, "be at my boutique tomorrow."
"Alright." Parker walked off, leaving Rarity to her thinking.
The party slowly died down, everypony except for Pinkie, Twilight, and Parker left, and then they opened his presents, Pinkie went right to work, then Parker, and finally Twilight.
"Ooh, Parker, Bon-Bon gave you some Bon-Bons, they are the best!" Pinkie chirped.
"Pinkie, do you want them?" Parker asked, noticing the smile on her face.
She gobbled the plate as well.
"Parker, Applejack gave you a cowboy hat, I like it, try it on" Twilight said, handing him the hat.
"i like it, a lot." the hat looked perfect on him.
The three opened presents for ten minutes before they finished, and they were all tired after the party.
The phone rang at Parker's house, he was in Equestria, not in the war filled, horrible world he used to be in, the answering machine picked up the message.
"Hey, Parker, It's me Gabe, I checked out that My Little Pony Show, it was pretty cool, see ya."
Parker wasn't there, he was happy, and he had a big day ahead of him.
Parker awoke on the floor of Sugarcube corner the next morning, it was bustling with customers who wanted Pinkie's famous goodies.
"Yay, you're finally awake!" Pinkie smiled at him.
"You didn't wake me up when you opened?!" Parker was laying in the middle of the floor, next to some opened boxes.
"I didn't want to ruin your dream, you talk a lot in your sleep!" Pinkie giggle, remembering what he was saying.
"What'd I say?" Parker gulped, he hoped it wasn't too embarrassing, his face ran red.
"You said," Pinkie started rolling on the floor, she had customersin line, "You said 'Rarity' like ten times, adn then you were talking about a party!"
"What did I say about Rarity?" Parker was dead-serious now.
"You kept talking," Pinkie wiped a tear from her eye, and she was catching her breath, "You said about going over at noon."
"Oh CRA..." Parker was out the door before he could finish, leaving Pinkie perplexed.
Parker ran at full speed to Rarity's boutique, he had been running for ten minutes, when he remembered,
'What time did I say?'
Noon
'Yeah that's right.'
Parker finally reached the Boutique a couple of minutes later, inside, Rarity was working on a new dress, it had many colors, and feathers, and ruffles, wow, it looked complicated.
"Rarity," he panted, "I'm here!"
She looked over at him, "Great!"
Rarity walked over to him and looked at his hair, she nodded and slowly examined the sleekness of it,
"I knew it, we're going to have to shave it." Rarity said.
"What?" Parker's eyes went wide.
"Shave it off, and I'll get you some new hair." Rarity explained.
"Wh.." Parker stopped talking, Rarity had already levitated a trimmer to his hair.
"Hold still, here!" Rarity used her magic and held the squirming Parker still.
"Please, not my hair!" Parker said, looking Rarity in the eyes.
"Now now, I am doing this for your own good."
Rarity took the trimmer and shaved Parker's head clean. She released him from her magic, and he griped his head, which was now completely bare, not even his eyebrows remained.
"What, fix it PLEASE!" Parker pleaded.
"Alright, hold still again." Rarity said, a beam of light sprung out of her horn.
The light spread rapidly around Parker's head, and then it disappeared, leaving a new, very luxurious hair set on his head. The hair was a little more blond than his last, but it was longer and sleeker.
"I love it!" they said in unison.
"Rarity, thank you, I really like the way it feels!" Parker said, rubbing his hair.
"No problem darling, so I guess I'll see you later?" Rarity said.
"Sounds good." Parker said as he exited the boutique.
----------------Back in America-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Day two of missing person 'Parker Mathews is under way, let me tell you this story, his mother arrived home, his computer was on, but he wasn't home, he left school ten hours earlier, the mother is a suspect, she doesn't work till one, no, she was 'getting drunk at a bar'." Nancy Grace said.
"And let me tell you something mister or miss, we will find you, and bring you to justice." Nancy said, the Television turning off.
"He's gone." Parker's friend, Gabriel said.
"It's not your fault Gabe." Gabe's sister, Julissa said.
Parker awoke the next morning, and felt his amazing hair, it silked between his fingers, he looked around, he was in his old room. he shot up and looked at his clock.
12:00 p.m.
"Twilight!!" Parker yelled.
"Parker! Are you okay?" Twilight opened the door with her magic.
"How am I in..." Parker looked closer, it was his stuff, but a foreign room, "Yeah, I'm fine."
"Good, want some breakfast?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah,that sounds great!" Parker jumped out of bed, but immediately stopped, he was in his boxers.
"Ahh!" he screamed, and covered himself.
"What?" Twilight turned her head.
"I'm in my boxers!! And you're in here!" Parker said loudly.
"What, you're wearing clothes, you're in our world, not your old one." Twilight said, turning to the door.
"Still!" Parker said, putting some pajama bottoms on.
"See you downstairs." Twilight walked out of the room.
Parker hurried downstairs, he saw Cheerilee checking out some books in the library, he approached her.
"Ahh," she jumped behind a bookshelf, peeking out, she continued, "Who are you?"
"My name is Parker, I'm new here." he outstretched a hand.
She slowly responded with her hoof, she shook his hand lightly, "Hello Parker."
"My naem is Cheerilee," she said, "I am the local school teacher."
"Cool, what grades do you teach?" Parker asked.
"Kindergarten to second, are you in college?" Cheerilee said.
"College," Parker laughed, "I'm only in eighth grade."
"You're only a kid, but, but, you're so, so very tall!" she looked at him from head to toe.
"I had a tall family." Parker explained, "Not everyone is this tall, in fact, I'm very tall for my age."
"That makes sense." Cheerilee concluded.
"Breakfast!!" Twilight yelled from the kitchen.
"Coming!" Parker said back, "See ya Mrs. Cheerilee."
"See ya, oh and it's Miss Cheerilee," she blushed, Parker knew that, but he felt like making somepony smile just then.
Parker walked to the kitchen with the alluring smell of Maple pancakes, covered in syrup.
"This looks amazing." Parker said as he sat down at the table, across form Twilight.
"Thank Spike, not me, I don't cook." Twilight insisted, pointing to the dragon.
"Thank you Spike." Parker looked over to the dragon, who was happily munching on his own pancakes.
"Mo pobwem!" Spike said, his mouth full.
Twilight giggled at him, causing an uneasy sigh from Spike.
"So Twilight, what do you want ot do today?" Parker asked, swallowing some milk.
"Why don't you tell me about your world, and why you're so glad to be here?" Twilight said.
"Sounds good..." spike interrupted.
"Can it wait until after breakfast?"
"Yes Spike." Twilight giggled again.
The trio ate their breakfast happily, enjoying every bit of conversation with each other, they talked about food, books and Ponyville.
"Alright, breakfast is done, Parker, tell me why you hat your old world." Twilight said as they walked back up the stairs, towards Parker's room.
"Are you sure you want ot hear this, it's not that nice." Parker said, logging on to his computer.
"Yes." Twilight said, sitting next to him.
Parker opened up the internet window, the page bstayed blank, he clicked on 'Equestria daily', didn't work.
"What's wrong?" Twilight asked.
"No internet, I guess I'll have to show you some reports.
"That sounds nice, better actually, I love reports." Twilight clapped her hooves.
Parker opened up Microsoft Word, and clicked on his reports, nothing was there.
"Crap, no reports."
Parker turned around and looked at Twilight, he was going to have to explain it.
"Okay Twilight, I hated my last world for many reasons," Parker continued, "One of them being friends."
Twilight looked confused, "You hate your friends?"
"No, I had zero friends, and the friends I had made before, they weren't friends, they were fakes," Parker paused, "People in my world aren't nice, in fact there are very few nice people, everyone is always so angry."
"Why?" Twilight asked.
"I don't know Twilight, I wish that I could stay here forever, I can't go back, I, people hate my so much, and I'm tired of them, I was planning to run away from home the day you came." Parker sighed, "I'm glad you saved me."
"Why can't you?" Twilight asked, "Why can't you stay?"
"I can?" tears were coming to Parker's eyes, tears of joy, he had no problem of going back.
"Yes you can." Twilight gave him a hug.
"Th-thank you so much!" Parker said.
"Now, back to your world's explanation." Twilight resat herself.
"Right, aside from people," Parker paused, deciding what to say next, "really, people, the things they do."
"Like what?" Twilight asked.
"Well, we have wars." Parker said, looking at Twilight.
"What's a war?" Twilight asked.
"War, war is where people fight, well most of the time anyway," Parker paused, "There is a war going on where people kill people with bombs they hid, they've even stuffed them in dogs bodies."
Twilight was horrified, but Parker didn't stop.
"There was a world war seventy years ago, a man named Adolf Hitler killed 6 million Jewish people in Europe adn the world, he was an evil man."
"The Vietnam war was awful as well, the soldiers who fought in it, they weren't but barely recognized when they came home." Parker finished.
"Stop, please!" Twilight pleaded.
"Do you want to know anything else?" Parker was sorry for telling her everything.
"Not just yet, that was enough for now." Twilight waved her hoof.
"Alright, I'm going to go out adn talk to Fluttershy." Parker said.
"Okay." she said as Parker walked out of his room.
Parker walked over to Fluttershy's cottage, she was outside tending to some small woodland creatures.
"Fluttershy?" Parker asked.
"Eep!" Fluttershy shot straight up a tree.
"Fluttershy, it's just me, it's okay, I promise."
"Wh-Who..Parker, oh," She floated down, "I'm sorry."
His mind went wild, she just became amazingly more cute.
"Don't be sorry, I scared you." Parker insisted.
"Sorry.I mean, what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked, looking at him.
"Well, I thought I'd come by, remember the party?" Parker said.
"Oh, right, let me show you inside." Fluttershy turned and guided Parker through her front door, once inside, she sat him down on her couch.
"Do you like tea?" she asked, walking to the kitchen.
"No, no t really, could I have some water though?" Parker asked, trying to sound sweet.
"Okay." Fluttershy said quietly.
Fluttershy came back to the living room with a tray that had a cup of tea and a cup of water on it. She gave Parker the water and took the tea herself.
"Parker, if you don't mind, could you tell me what those cuts on your cheek are." Fluttershy said.
"Cuts?" Parker felt his cheek, sure enough, there were two mysterious cuts on it.
"I don't know." he finally said.
"They look bad, could I fix them up please?" Fluttershy asked.
"Alright, I guess." he said, and in no time, Fluttershy was back with her medical kit.
She covered the two cuts in an anti biotic cream, and then bandages.
"And finally..." Fluttershy kissed his cheek, making him blush.
"Umm, Fluttershy?" he said, and she looked into his eyes, she blushed.
"Sorry, you need to go!" she rushed him out the door, and slammed it.
Fluttershy kissed his cheek, not just to make it better, but because she had to find an excuse to kiss him.
"You need to go!" she ran him out, she was so embarrassed.
After she slammed the door closed, she collapsed against the door, she sobbed, she had Parker in the room, she could have just said something, but no, she had to go and blow it.
Fluttershy looked out her door as Parker walked away, she saw him go over the hill, then she relaxed.
"I'm pathetic." she said as she sunk into her bed.
Fluttershy cried some more until she finally cried herself to sleep.
Gabe walked to school slowly, once he got to school, there was a portrait of Parker on the first trophy case, under it it said 'Missing'.
"Will all students report ot the gymnasium for a special assembly." the intercom buzzed.
Gabe headed to the gym, he looked inside, there was one seat open, and he sat down in it. The principal walked up to the microphone, along with the counselor.
"Attention everyone, Mrs.Richards has something to tell you." The principal said into the microphone.
"All of you, we think Parker ran away, he gave me a note five days ago." Mrs. Richards, the counselor, said.
"His note said, 'Dear Mrs. Richards, I'm still wondering if I should kill myself, i mean, the way all of these exploitives treat me is awful, they even pantsed me and made fun of me three days ago. I can't take it, I am done.'" She finished.
The whole room went dead silent, she continued with something else,
"There are names of the people," she paused, "Trey Wilson, Kyle Saragentino, Gavin Leis, and Carlos Rodriguez."
The four boys slowly rose and walked down the bleachers, and they stood in front of the two staff members.
"You four are in a lot of trouble." the principal said.
Parker woke up in his be, he slept peacefully last night, though something felt different, he rose from his bed quickly, and walked out of his door, still in his underwear.
"What are you going to do?" Spike asked Twilight, Parker could barely hear it.
"I don't know, we can't let him know though."
"How did Trixie get her here?" Spike asked again.
"I have no idea, but that Nancy Grace lady can't meet Parker, and he can't meet her." Twilight said.
`` "Why not?" Parker asked as he walked in, he was clearly mad that they were hiding something from him that was about him.
"Oh Parker, you're awake!" Twilight said sheepishly.
"Why can't Nancy Grace see me?" Parker asked again.
"How did you sleep?" Twilight asked.
"Why can't she see me?" Parker asked again, his face was growing red with anger.
"Do you want some grass p--" Twilight was interrupted by Parker screaming.
"TWILIGHT!"
Twilight was defeated, "If Nancy sees you, she'd be able to go back and expose Equestria, we're real, and people would exploit that."
"What do you mean, why don't people think you're real?" Parker asked.
"We're a show, we know it." Twilight said.
"You do?" Parker had forgot about telling them.
"Well, Celestia, Luna, and we do." Twilight said, that made much more sense.
"That makes more sense." Parker understood, "I'm going to go out and explore Ponyville."
"Avoid Trixie and Nancy." Twilight said, Parker left.
Parker decided to get a donut at Sugarcube corner, so he headed over that way. He was right in front of the bakery when a little orange filly crashed her scooter into him, she flew over him as they made contact.
"Are you okay?" he ran over to where she was.
Scootaloo slowly opened her eyes, her pupils immediately shrunk in fear, "Wh-Who are y-you?"
"My name is Parker, here." Parker handed her scooter.
"H-Hi Parker, m-my name is.." Scootaloo paused, and took a deep breath, "My name's Scootaloo."
"Hi Scootaloo, you okay?" Parker asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just some scratches," Scootaloo looked at her forelegs, "I'm good."
"Good, uh, see you around?" Parker said.
"Yeah! See you around." Scootaloo scootered off.
Parker walked into Sugarcube corner and saw Pinkie talking to Fluttershy.
"Well, Aunt Pinkie Pie says.."
"I'm a year older than you." Fluttershy sighed.
"If you like him, tell him!" Pinkie smiled over Fluttershy's shoulder, towards Parker, causing Fluttershy to turn around.
"H-Hi Parker." Fluttershy squeaked.
"Hi," Parker's voice cracked, "Hi Fluttershy, hi Pinkie!"
"What's up?" Pinkie leaned on her hoof.
"Nothing much, just thought I'd come and get a sweet." at that, Pinkie was all over him, showing him sweets.
"I'd, I'd better go." Fluttershy said quietly, she headed to the door, and she left.
Parker noticed her leave.
"Pinkie!" she stopped.
"Yeah?" she asked Parker.
"What's Fluttershy's favorite sweet?" he asked.
"Oh that's easy, she loves chocolate cupcakes!" Pinkie had two of them in his face.
"Two? Why would I...oh yeah, I get one too." Parker couldn't pay, and she didn't make him, he was going to take the two cupcakes to Fluttershy.
Parker walked out of Sugarcube corner, carrying the two cupcakes in a picnic basket, he walked over to Fluttershy's cottage, she wasn't there. Where could she be?
Parker walked to the meadow on the other side of town, and in the middle of the field, was Fluttershy, she was......crying. Parker nearly broke down seeing that, it was Fluttershy the most generous, the nicest, the most friendly, the most beautiful pony he'd ever seen.
"Fluttershy," a tear rolled down his cheek, "Don't cry."
"P-Parker!! I'm sorry!" she hugged him tightly.
"Don't be sorry, I brought something for you!" Parker handed her the basket.
Fluttershy looked at the basket, she pushed it away, not even opening it.
"Fluttershy, why are you so sad?" Parker asked, sitting next to her.
She looked at him, tears forming in her eyes, "Well, I like somebody."
"You can tell me." he said kindly.
"No, you'd hate me." even though Parker already knew, that would have given it away.
"Fluttershy, I...I.." Parker looked at her.
"It's you." Fluttershy leaned against him, crying into his shirt.
"Fluttershy, i, I'm a human, you're a pony, I, you're the nicest, most generous, most amazing pony I've ever met, but I, I don't know." Parker was sad to not be able to accept this.
Ten minutes of silence passed, Fluttershy broke the silence,
"It's crazy, love." Fluttershy wiped her eyes as she looked up at the sky.
Parker didn't respond, instead, he showed her what was in the basket, her favorite treat.
"Oh Parker." she hugged him, "This was so thoughtful!"
"No problem Fluttershy." Parker smiled.
She gracefully picked up the cupcake, she took the tiniest bite out of it, Parker's heart nearly exploded out of adorableness.
"Parker? Are you okay?" Fluttershy looked at Parker who had the D'awwwwwwwwwwww face on.
"Yeah, oh, yeah, I'm fine." he said, blushing slightly.
"Good, thank you for the cupcake." Fluttershy smiled slightly.
"Your welcome." Parker said warmly, making Fluttershy smile a little more openly.
A little time passed before Fluttershy broke the silence.
"Parker, why do you hate your world so much, I can't understand why."
Parker sighed, "Are you sure you want ot hear the whole story?"
"Yes." Fluttershy nodded.
"Well, it all started three years ago, I was entering the fifth grade, my three friends, Seth, Cole, adn Ben all moved away, they left me, alone," he paused, "In the sixth grade, people did horrible things, things that would make you fear my world."
"Do you want to tell me?" Fluttershy asked sincerely.
"No," he sighed, "In the seventh grade, I made a new friend, her name was Jessica, she was being bullied constantly, so, in the play, Romeo and Juliet, at the end, instead of using a fake knife to stab herself, she used a real one, I saw her die, she looked into my eyes." he wiped his eyes.
This brought tears to Fluttershy's eyes, she hugged him for a minute, then he continued,
"In the beginning of this year, I was being bullied horribly again, this time though, it was worse, I had considered suicide on many occasions, I had to be strong though, so I just took it all." he finished, crying along with Fluttershy.
"That's horrible, but, but guess what." Fluttershy said in between tears.
Gabe walked down the street and rounded the corner, he looked at Parker's house, the only things there were a cop car and some camera crews, he walked right by them all.
Gabe walked a few blocks, then he arrived at the train station, he looked at the schedule, the next train was going to Pittsburgh, about twenty miles away.
"Can I help you?" The woman at the ticket counter asked.
"1 ticket to the Pittsburgh 1:30 train." he said.
"Where are your parents?" she asked, eyeing him keenly.
"My parents are in Pittsburgh, they're waiting for me." he lied, he needed to.
"Alright kid, ten bucks, a discount to get home." she smiled, she was a kind person, eh was sorry to lie to her.
"Here." he smiled, and gave her the money, she gave him the ticket.
Gabe walked over and sat beside the tracks, he looked at the clock,
1:20 a.m.
Gabe had to leave at 1 so he could make the only train in the nighttime, it arrived at 1 to deliver soldiers back home.
Gabe looked over, he couldn't believe who he saw, it was Seth Hanson.
"Seth?!?" Gabe walked over to get a closer look.
"Gabe! What's up dude, how you been?" Seth was just as surprised as Gabe
"I'm looking for Parker, you?" Gabe sat beside him.
"Yeah, that's awesome, I got here from New York a few hours ago..I'm going to Pittsburgh next." Seth said.
"No way, that's where I'm going." Gabe said, his eyes big.
The train arrived not long later, they walked on to it.
The lights on Ponyville's stage lit up, showing Pinkie Pie, she was the one who had invited everypony in Ponyville, and gotten the stage for the battle. Nancy and Parker were backstage, prepping the two ponies.
"Alright everypony, we've a special for you today, a rap battle!" Pinkie announced, "Twilight versus Trixie, here we go!" the two walked onto stage.
"You ready twilight?" Pinkie asked into the mic.
"Yep." Twilight said, blushing slightly.
"Hit it!" Pinkie pointed to Vinyl.
The music, then Twilight started,

"My magic brings all the colts to the yard, and they're like, 'It's better than yours," Twilight poked Trixie with her hoof, " That's right, it's better than yours, I could teach you, but I'd have to charge," Twilight poked Trixie again, "My magic brings all the colts to the yard, I'd teach you, but I'd have to charge." Twilight finished, Trixie stared.

She nodded, the music started,
