My computer had a few 'issues' and I had to repost this story. It's the same exact thing as it was it was just deleted on accident after a little 'malfunction' with my internet connection and my computer froze. Please still enjoy!

Ok… so this is the first story I'm gonna put up so- just don't start beating me verbally if it's not perfect. BUT! Any comments and suggestions are welcome. EXCEPT! Keep this a young, around pre-teen rating. I can't go back to jail man! They'll eat me alive! And not in a good way! (Oh My!) Ok… with that said, I don't own the TV show. If I did I wouldn't be posting this online. I don't have any part with the show's making. You probably already knew that though huh? Ok! Let's go!

Once upon a time…

Prologue: More to life than this

(Vanessa's Pov)

Ok… BORED! I'm dying of boredom here. Oh wait, you have no idea who I am. Wait… who am I talking to?

Ah screw it! Imma' talk anyway! Hello whoever I'm talking to! I'm Vanessa Anaya Lynbrook. But you can just call me Vanessa. Or actually, my nick name is Toxic but I'll explain that later.

Ok, so I'm just a normal seventeen year old girl. I got crystal blue eyes, black hair that I have done in a really sloppy high ponytail most of the time, caucasian white skin with barely any freckles or moles or anything except in a few places that will not be named because of common decency (even if I'm just talking to some non-existing person in my head), my nails are painted black and yellow alternating, and I have three piercings in my ears.

Currently I'm wearing black and white stripped skinny jeans, black high top sneakers and white socks, a florescent green tank top that did show a little chest off (got big boobs like mine, you gotta show 'em off sometimes, D cup!), a darker green army style flight jacket with a gray hoodie and a double style zipper, one wrist sweat band that's bright purple, two black bracelets and a black with white stripes and black and white spots bracelet on the other wrist, three sets of small black hoop earrings with a skull on the top set, and around my neck are my nature green flight goggles with little cartoon characters of a heart and a pink cloud and a yellow smiley face.

Now your first question is probably 'Are you some kind of punk or hardcore rocker chick or something? That's some loud outfit!" Well, it is loud. But so am I! I'm loud and outrageous!

I like to dream of things that don't exist or shout random things for absolutely no reason. Have you ever just zoned out and seen something so crazy and unreal but it looks so true blue you actually think it's there?

Yeah, that's how I see things! Now, right now I'm lying on my back on my green sheeted bed in my room filled to the brim with every color of god's creation that man has ever come to know. So Like I said when all this began, I'm freakin' bored here! No school because it's summer, my mom's at work, my annoying little sister Jessica is at her friend's house, it's getting to burning hot to leave the house because of a stupid heat wave, and my dad- well… he walked out on my mom, sister, and I when I was a kid.

But it was his loss! I'm awesome and he could have been so proud he would have exploded!

Ok, so about being bored. I sat up from my bed with a groan and looked around my room. Then I spotted my phone with all my hundreds of songs on it and thought'Well, could always just listen to my music until I feel tired enough to take a nap."

So I stood up and grabbed my phone from my bedside stand and scrolled through my songs.

"No. No. No. Listened to it a thousand times already. No. No. Better but still no. Ah ha!" I pressed play and without realizing it, I snag along.

(Song: Real Life by Skye Sweetnam)

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I feel them looking down on me, Or am I paranoid?

I'm like a flower in the shadddeeeee, I'm like birrrdddd in a caaaaaage

Gotta be my own self, I can be nobody else
and if I could ooooonnnly make onnne wisssshhhh
I just wanna live a Real Life! A Real Life!

Inside your castle in the sky, I'm just a prisoner!
Sometimes I wish I could kiss it aaaaaaall goooooooodbye

I wanna Real Life, I just wanna feel life
gettin tired of livin in a bubble wanna get in trouble
Gotta be my own self, I can be nobody else
and if I could ooooonnnly make onnne wisssshhhh
I just wanna live a Real Life! A Real Life!

I'm just a simple girl, in a complicated world
I've given it my beeeeeeeeest, but I'm in over my heeeeeea- ead!

I'm like a flower in the shadddeeeee, I'm like birrrdddd in a caaaaaage

gettin tired of livin in a bubble wanna get in trouble!
Gotta be my own self, I can be nobody else
and if I could ooooonly make one wish
I just wanna live a Real Life! A Real Life!

"Cool," I smiled as I heard the music stop. I barley even noticed how through the song I had gotten louder and louder. Ah well! Not like someone heard me.

'Nice voice you got there.'

What the!? "What! Who said that!?" I hopped off my bed and stood to my feet. Ok, some dude's voice was just in my head. I knew it! They all told me this would happen! I rubbed the back of my head and closed my eyes as I sighed. I'm officially going crazy.

'Trust me dear, you're not going crazy just yet.'

"WHO ARE YOU!? Where are you!? Why are you in my head!?" I'm spinning in a circle slowly trying to find where this guy's voice is coming from. Oh god I must be crazy if I really believe someone got into my room within three minutes of me listening to that song.

'I'm not in your head, but my voice is. And I can assure you that you're not going crazy. Well not yet.'

"Ok 'mister voice in my head', if you are real, prove it to me." I needed to know if this was real, or if I was really just going bonkers and I'm just talking to myself right now.

'Your sister's birthday is in November.'

"Not enough."

'Your mother has violet eyes.'

"Still not enough! More proof!"

"In third grade your friend Kathy told you that she didn't know what happened to your hamster.'

"And?"

'She lied. She was jealous and dumped the paint all over him.'

"SHE WHAT! I knew it wasn't an accident! I had to wash purple out of his fur for weeks! And he still had a purple tint!"

CURSE YOU KATHY GOLD! I knew she was lying but I didn't want to believe it.

"Alright fine, you proved your real enough for me to believe. So why are you talking to me exactly?"

I heard a chuckle and stomped my foot on the floor. "Answer. The. Question!"

'Temper, temper. Alright. I heard you singing that song.'

"So?"

'I noticed in your heart you seemed to mean what the song said about living life. What if I told you, you could leave this life behind and live in a whole new world? A world where magic exists and ponies are the dominant species.'

"Ponies? Really man? That sounds more boring than here!"

'You got me there.'

"But, the whole magic thing does sound pretty cool. What's this world like?"

'There's unicorns, pegasi, earth ponies, and four ponies called alicorns. All those creatures in your world that are myths exist in this world. And they all get along with the belief that 'GAG!' friendship is magic.'

"This world sounds totally exasperating and annoying."

'It really can be. But what yuh' say?'

I thought about it. A world of magic and wonders. Amazing. But what about my life here? What about my family?

'If it's your family you're worried about, I can erase their memory of you. Make it so you never existed and everything is still relatively the same for them.'

"They won't cry or worry over me?" I only wanted them to be happy. If I leave I don't want them to worry or be heart broken.

'Not a single tear.'

I weighed my options. The only thing keeping me back would be my mom and sister. But if they wouldn't remember me…

"Deal, but I wanna take my phone, my laptop, my ear buds, and the chargers. Do we have a deal?"

'Done and done my dear! Now hold on!'

I felt the room get cold. The walls started spinning. The colors on my walls turned into a rainbow tornado. I felt dizzy and my eyes started to close.

'Arrivederci my dear.'

"This- better- be- worth- it!" And then I passed out.
