MY MLP Memories

My first "My Little Pony" was Fizzy. I got her for my fourth

birthday. I remember opening up my first birthday present and there

she was. She was so sweet and cute. I loved her from the

beginning. I loved the way her eyes twinkled and she had a very

friendly look to her. I hugged her close and vowlled to take care of

her. I even remember hugging her and whispering, "Don't worry,

Fizzy, I love you so much. You're going to be wery happy here with me."

After I got Fizzy, many other ponies followed. I loved them all. But Fizzy was my absolute favorite. I still have her til this day and she's

almost mint.

Anyway, back to the story. When I was five years old, a

terrible thing happened. First thing was, my Dad sat

my brother and I down for "the talk". You all know the one I'm

talking about. The one where he said, "We love you and your brother

very much, but we don't' love each other anymore." He then told us

he was leaving. I remember begging him not to go, but it was no

use. He left that night after he tucked Fizzy and I in. I remember,

holding Fizzy close and crying myself to sleep. I told Fizzy how sad

I was and how much I wanted Daddy to come back. From that day on,

Fizzy became my best friend. I told her stuff I was afraid to tell

my family.

Fizzy went everywhere with me. I had a lot of operations because of

being born early, so Fizzy went with me everytime I went to the

hospital. I wouldn't go anywhere without her. I knew that if she

was with me, everything would work out. And it always did.

I had a special place in my heart for the baby ponies too. My favorites were Baby Lofty, Baby Half Note, Baby Cotton Candy and a rainbow baby pony I named Baby Rainbow Star. I loved Baby Glory and Baby Moondancer too of course. I would tuck them into bed every night and sing them to sleep just like I saw Megan do on the show. They seemed to like it and it helped all of us get to sleep.

When I would play MLP, I mostly played by myself. The baby ponies would go to school and my Megan was their teacher. She would teach them different things and Fizzy and Firefly would help out too. Firefly was my favorite next to Fizzy. I loved her almost as much.

I remember the first time I saw the MLP Movie . It was on a

Wednesday afternoon. The night before, I had had a strange dream.

My mother had gone out like always and I was left with a baby-

sitter. She was nice and her sister and I were best friends, but I

still wanted my mother to spend time with me. I remember falling

asleep that night and wishing that I would find an answer. I had a

dream that I was in dream valley. Fizzy met me and took me to

Paradise Estate. At the time, I didn't' know what it was, but I knew

That if I was with my best friend, so it was okay. I met several other

ponies and then their Megan asked me to take a ride with her and Firefly. I did so and we talked. She told me that everything was

going to be okay. I believed her, but then I asked her, "How do you

know?"

Megan smiled at me and said, "I know because, there's always

another rainbow. Everything will work out for you. I promise."

With that,she gave me a hug and then Fizzy took me back home.

The next morning, I woke up and asked Fizzy what Megan

meant. I got my answer that night. I was in a bad mood because my

Mom had left again and she wasn't around. I felt lonely and I was

playing MLP by myself. Baby Cotton Candy and Baby Half Note had been bad, so I put them on time out. I was putting the other baby ponies

down for nap when I started feeling tired myself. I sung them "Let's

Not Take a Nap", and I ended up falling asleep. When I woke up, it

was almost dinner time. I made my bed and took Baby Half Note off

time out. She promised me that she would be good. Baby Cotton Candy

was cranky, so she stayed on time out for a little while longer. I

went downstairs to eat dinner and there was my grandmother. She said

she had a surprise for me.

I opened the package to find…. What else? The MLP Movie!! I thanked her and gave her a hug.

After dinner, Fizzy and I watched the movie together. I let Baby Half Note, Baby Cuddles, Baby Lofty, Baby Moondancer and Baby Rainbow Star, watch it too.

As I watched the movie, I got my answer. As Megan started singing "There's Always Another Rainbow", I gasped. I looked down at Fizzy and said, "Megan was right. Everything is going to be okay."

After that day, my life didn't become any less hectic, but I

always believed that there was always another rainbow for me and that

things would work out. I collected more and more ponies over the

years and played MLP with my best friend, Colleen. She always played my oc of Molly Shaianne Hartson and I always played my oc of Megan Julia Hartson.

My favorite ponies were always Fizzy, Firefly, Baby Cuddles, and Baby Moondancer.

Colleen and I would play school and pretend that the baby ponies went to school like us. My Megan was their teacher and they got lessons from Posey about flowers and gardening. It was so much fun. As I got older, I started writing "My Little Pony" stories. I still do. I mostly write from my Megan's point of view, but the ponies are in the stories of cours.

Firefly is my Megan's comfort and voice of reason.

Fizzy is Molly's best friend and Medley is Megan and Molly's sister, Julie's best pony friend.

Baby Lofty views my Molly as her mother and Baby Cotton Candy, Baby Rainbow Star and Baby Half Note view Megan as their mother. They still call her Megan of course.
