A/N Here's a few things I'd like to point out before I begin.
"This is speak."
'This is thought.'
Just though I'd point that out. Other then that, let the story begin. End A/N
I heard them from the other room, my parents, debating what to do with me. My final test score averages for the whole school year had come in. I failed every, single, one. I don't know why, I listened to the class, I did all the work, and yet I failed every single subject. It didn't make any sense, was it just bad luck? Did I get another kids test scores? I didn't care anymore. There was nothing they could punish me for. They've taken away everything that was fun. I always looked at life to be enjoyed. If you couldn't enjoy life, there was no point in living, was what I always thought. Every day was the same, no enjoyment, all complete boredom. Over time I got into a depression, and I'm still in one. I didn't know what else to do, expect for one thing...
As I stood there in my dad's room, holding his gun to my head. I thought over if I should just pull the trigger and end it all, or should I wait, but wait for what? I always told myself to wait, wait and see if you do better, wait until December 21st or whatever day doomsday is supposed to be, but why? Why wait any longer? Maybe if I die, I might end up in Equestria, a place I've always dreamed in being in. But I knew that wouldn't happen. Reality is a fucking bitch. Stuff like that doesn't happen.
I pondered it over, should I or shouldn't I? What future was available for me? I don't know, I don't know fucking anything anymore. Why does this have to happen to me? What did I do to deserve this? I've always helped people when in need, doing what I'm told, being a generally nice guy, well, until I got in a depression. Why did this have to happen? Why do I have to go through this? I should end all this stress and sadness now, maybe life after death is better then this. Only one way to find out...
I pulled the trigger, well, at least thought I did. I heard nothing, everything was black. Did I die? Did I pass out from the stress? Why am I asking myself these questions? There won't be any answer, well, if there is I must be insane too. If I died, then how am I thinking like this? Damnit! I asked myself another question. Ah why does it matter, no one is listening, at least I don't think anyone is. I see some kind of light off in the distance. What is that? Heaven? Something that looks like heaven but is really hell? Like those gay first impressions, like a large ball wrapped in a present. You wanted a basket ball, so you almost knew it was a basket ball, you open it up and it's a soccer ball. Why am I talking about that lame Christmas gift now? I just killed myself and this is what I'm thinking about? Meh, I'm not really surprised.
The light got brighter and brighter. Almost blinding me. That sucks, being blinded with no eyes. I am seeing with no eyes, wow. Wait, I do have eyes? I think I just blinked my eyes without realizing it.
I fully opened my eyes and looked around, I was in some kind of house.
'Hmm, maybe I did pass out. I would've thought dieing would've been different, so I'm not surprised. But this house looks different though.'
I looked around more to find my vision sucked at the moment, but I saw little blurs moving around the house. Something about this place seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite tell why.
"Oh, looks like you're finally awake." I heard a soft voice that I just knew I heard before.
"Hello?" I called out, still not being able to see clearly.
"Oh, you can talk?" The voice responded.
"Yes, I can. Where am I?" I asked, trying to find where the voice was coming from.
"You're in a safe place. I found you unconscious at the edge of the forest, so I brought you to my house." The voice answered.
'At the edge of a forest? That doesn't make any sense. How the hell did I get next to a forest?'
My eyes stumbled across a yellow blur, with hint of pink and blue. As I did, my eyes began to focus. When they did, I looked at what appeared to be...Fluttershy?
'What? This...This can't be real. Reality is too much of a faggot to let something like this happen. I must be having a pleasant dream when I passed out. It is pretty clear though, and I feel awake. But then again this is the first time I've passed out, so maybe those type of dreams are more realistic. Heh, that would be a fucked up moment, my dad walking into the room to see me on the ground with his gun in my hand. How the hell am I going to explain that.'
"Hello?" I heard Fluttershy ask.
"...Oh, what?" I responded.
"You look like you spaced out, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I answered. I looked around again to get a better look at the house.
The little blurs I saw earlier turned out to be animals roaming about. Other small necessities were also scattered around.
'Yep, easily Fluttershy's house. Might as well enjoy as much of this dream as I can. I hate waking up from epic dreams like this, before I get a chance to really do anything.'
I got up from the couch I was laying on. "I should probably be going." I stated.
"A-Are you sure? I mean, aren't you hurt?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm fine." I responded.
"O-Ok then." Fluttershy responded. I went over to the front door and opened it, being momentary blinded by the sun. When I was un-blinded, I was able to get a good look outside. 'Damn, looks a lot different from the show.' I proceeded to step outside. I breathed in the fresh air and walked down the path.
Within a few minutes I was entering the outskirts of Ponyville. Just about all the ponies there were just staring at me.
'I feel uncomfortable. I am being stared at by everypony who sees me. Meh, I don't blame them. Nothin like some creature you've never seen before in your life walking through town.'
By now I was at what looked like to be the near-center of Ponyville, but I couldn't really tell.
'Alright...Where do I go? Wow, yeah. Lets just walk in the middle of Ponyville and THEN try to decide what you're going to do. Real smart. I guess I should probably head over to Twilight's library. Being shes my favorite pony and all. Might as well get the most out of this dream...Where the hell is Twilight's library?'
I looked around but couldn't find it anywhere. 'God damnit. Why must this shit be so ha- oh there's a sign with the map of Ponyville on it.' I walked over to it and looked at it.
'Alright, you are here. And here is a huge ass tree that looks like the library. Yep, says library right above it. And that is...halfway across Ponyville.' I just looked at the sign in whyness. 'Damnit. Things like this always have to happen.' I proceeded to head off in the direction of the library.
Eventually I made it. I swear those stares were starting to get creepy. Everypony you see...is staring at you. I knocked on the door. "This is a public library! You can just walk in." I heard a busy voice which I recognized as Twilight.
'Alright, how to enter...Man this is going to be good.'
I began to open the door. I proceeded to step inside, and close the door behind me.
Twilight was currently reading some kind of book.
'Damnit why I am so stressed? This is a dream, there are no consequences.'
She lazily lifted her head up to see who came in. When she saw me, her eyes widened. "M-Monster!" She yelled as she instantly closed the book she was reading and began to start some kind of spell. "Wait! I'm not ba..." I suddenly felt very faint, and passed out on the spot.
I slowly began to wake up.
'Ugh...What happened?'
I started to open my eyes.
"Where am I?" I asked blindly.
"Who are you?" A voice responded.
"Me? Uh...I'm Brandy. Brandy Mickle, but most people just call me Bran."I answered.
"Alright...Bran. Where are you from?" The voice asked. By now I finally located the voice being Twilight Sparkle.
"I'm not from here." I replied.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked, curious to where I was from.
"I'm from...actually, I can't remember." I stated, being confused on why I couldn't remember.
"Huh...? Oh right. The spell I used can sometimes take away some memories." She replied.
"Will I ever get them back?" I asked, alarmed.
"They should be back in a few hours." She answered, reassuringly. I breathed out in relief.
"Well, as long as I get them back I'll be fine." I said.
"Oh, and sorry for, you know...knocking you out like that as soon as you came in." She stated.
"It's fine. I don't blame you. I'd probably of done the same thing is some strange creature randomly walked into my house." I replied.
There was a bit of silence. "So...shouldn't you be going back to where you came from?" Twilight asked.
"I forgot where I came from when you used that spell, remember?" I replied.
"Oh right." Twilight responded, seeming stupid.
"Maybe I can hang out here until I get them back?" I asked.
"Sure! I've got plenty of books that you could read-" "Hey Twilight." I heard a voice interrupt from upstairs. I swear I heard it before, but just couldn't figure out where and how. I looked in the direction of the sound to see some sort of dragon walking down the stairs.
"Who are you talking t- What in the world is that thing?" He asked, pointing at me. I felt a little hurt when he called me a 'Thing.'
"Spike! Watch your language! This is Brandy Mickle. He's not from here." Twilight responded.
"Uh, ok. Hi Brandy. What's he doing here?" He asked.
"I think I kind of walked in here. I don't remember much of what happened, but I'm pretty sure I came in here with some kind of purpose though..." I stated.
"A purpose? Oh no! Maybe you were sent here to warn us of some kind of threat!" Twilight loudly said.
"No, no. I'm pretty sure I didn't come here for that. I came here for a different reason...something about...a dream? I think. Yeah, some of it is starting to come back. This was all a...dream? So I wanted to...Ah, this is giving me a headache. I'll figure it out later." I stated.
"Well, we've got plenty of books here for you to read and pass the time." Twilight responded.
"You'd let me read these books?" I asked.
"Of course! This is a library." Twilight answered.
"Oh, right. I should've known." I said as I picked a book from a nearby shelf. I proceeded to read the title. 'The history of Equestria.' It seemed like an interesting book, so I sat down and began to read it.
Within a few minutes I completely lost track of time. I only regained track when I finished the last page and put the book down. I looked out the window to see the sky was orangish, indicating it was early evening.
'Damn, that was fast. Maybe I can remember some shit now.' I began to try to thing through things. 'Alright, yeah, it's all starting to come back. I failed my grades, and I ended up here. How did I end up here? Hmm...Oh right, I killed myself. Pleasant thing to remember. Then...yeah I woke up at Fluttershy's house. I walked into this town, made my way towards Twilight's library. Then she knocked me out with that spell. I can easily remember the rest. But why does this place seem so familiar though? Have I been here before? No, no, I'm pretty sure that's wrong. This was some kind of...show right? Yeah, I think it was called...MLP: FiM. What does that stand for. I remember the M stands for My. L stands for...little, right. P stands for...people? No, My little...pony! Right! It was a show that represented ponies from this place. Damnit, now I got a headache. I'm actually pretty tired to, maybe I'll go to sleep...but where?'
I got up and looked for Twilight, eventually finding her in another room.
"Oh hey Bran, did you get your memories back?" Twilight asked.
"Some, I'll probably get the rest in the morning. I was wondering if you knew any place I could sleep at." I asked.
"Well, I have a spare bed in the basement, I could bring it back up into the-" "No need, I'll probably be staying here once." I interrupted.
"Okay then, if you insist. The basement is over there." She said, pointing to a door. I went over to it and opened it. It was dark, so I took out the flashlight I had. 'Yep, ever since seeing that one horror movie, always carry a flashlight for me.' I turned it on and looked for a light switch. Eventually I found one. I proceeded to go over to it and turn it on, brightening up the room.
There was a lot of strange devices, most of which I wouldn't dare go near. 'Looks like a freaking mad scientist's torture chamber.' I eventually saw a bed in the corner of the room. I walked over to it and laid down.
"Oh, I see you found the bed already." I heard a voice which I recognized as Twilight. I looked back to the door to see her standing there.
"Yeah, wasn't too hard." I replied.
"You want me to shut the light?" She asked.
"Yeah." I replied.
She shut the light, causing the entire room to become dark.
"See you in the morning." She said as she closed the door.
'Man, this was a fucked up dream. If only it wasn't. Guess I'll be waking up back at my house tomorrow. That sucks. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.' I closed my eyes and slowly began to fall asleep.
A/N Chapter one over. Hope you enjoyed this one. Not sure when the next one will be up, but hopefully it won't be too long. lulz it's already up. I'm saying that because I changed this chapter up a bit. Italics, Bold, all that good stuff. The shades thing was removed, and a few other things were removed, and added. End A/N.
