Chapter 1

My name is William Arren, or at least it was; now people call me Pegasus Wright, so that's my name. But maybe Chris really is still my name, I don't know. You see I live in Equestria, yes the Equestria. I don't know whether I'm dreaming or if this is actually happening but I do know that I'm very happy, and sad. This is probably very confusing, so I'll start from the beginning and work my way up to now.

It all started a year ago, when I still called myself William. I was about 15 years old, went to high school like normal kids, but I didn't have a lot of friends. I was a bit strange for a kid, but there were two things that stuck out about me. One, I loved to debate. When I was young I found out that I was a really good talker, I was good at making a point, I used advanced vocabulary to make myself seem smart, and I've talked myself out of quite a few sticky situations. I was really good at things like speech and debate; I even considered becoming a lawyer… although I would never tell people why because I thought they might laugh at it.

The second thing was that I was a brony. I loved MLP, and could safely call it one of my favorite animated shows; however I didn't know practically any bronies so I couldn't talk about it with practically anyone. Although I do say practically because there was someone. Her name was Anna, she was my best friend as well as a brony (actually she was a girl, so I guess she's a pegasister, but that's not important) I had met her in the 7th grade, and we quickly became the best of friends because we shared a lot of similarities, likes and dislikes, and one of the best things we had in common was our love of My little Pony. We watched that show constantly, and enjoyed it from start to finish, every song, every villain, and all the heart-warming friendship lessons those ponies had learned on their journeys.

But, there was one day when everything crumbled to pieces, when even the magic of friendship can't save you. It was May 24th, I remember that day well because it was the day I died. It was late in the afternoon maybe around 2:30 or so, I was getting out of school and I saw Anna there waiting for me to get out. I started to walk over to her and I looked down the block and saw a car coming down the block way too fast, suddenly it started to swerve and I thought it was going to hit Anna. Without thinking, I ran forward as fast as I could to push her out of the way, I pushed her out of the way just in time but couldn't save myself, the car crashed into me instead. The driver hit his head on the dashboard and blacked out, while I was in the most excruciating, bone crushing, organ squishing pain in my entire life. My legs were broken and I was pinned under the car and couldn't move. As I fell to the ground all I could hear was Anna panicking.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. What do I do, how can I…"

My body hurt but I couldn't see her like this so I had to help her "Anna… come over here"

She came over "Get the phone from my bag… call 9-1-1"

"Right" She went into my bag, pulled out my phone and dialed the number

"9-1-1 what's your emergency"

"There's a car crash, someone is stuck under the car and I need an ambulance"

"Okay miss, what's the address?"

"We're on the corner of 5th and Meadow Lane"

"Alright, an ambulance will be there in 15 minutes."

"Please hurry" she hung up, she looked less flustered but still concerned. She came closer to me and leaned down, and started talking

"That was a pretty stupid thing you did" she said

When I heard this all I could do was chuckle a bit.

"Well, it was either lose the best friend I have, and probably ever will have or risk hurting myself to save you. So I reserve the right to make all the stupid decisions I want"

This seemed to raise her spirits as she laughed at my comment, I laughed a bit too but not much because a car was crushing my chest. We laid there for a few more seconds, knowing full well what was going on but not talking about it and just sitting in an awkward silence until one of us broke it

"Why?"

"Huh?" I was confused at her remark.

"Why did you jump out and save me?"

Now I realize I hadn't really thought about it, it was a decision I had made in a split second, not really thinking just acting.

"I don't know loyalty I guess. I couldn't stand to see you hurt so I ran and risked myself to save my friend"

She looked like she was tearing up; she grabbed my hand and tried to calm down "Rainbow Dash would be proud of you"

"Yeah, I guess she would" She always knew what to say to make me feel better. But, soon I stopped feeling the pain of the crushing car, my whole body started feeling numb and cold. I couldn't keep my eyes open for much longer, I knew what was coming.

"Hey, I'm going to take a little rest while we wait for the ambulance"

"NO, no, no, you have to stay awake; you have to stay with me. I don't want to lose you."

I tried to calm her down "Hey, don't worry I'll be okay and even if I'm gone I'll always be with you, in your mind and heart"

She sniffled for a second "That was really cheesy"

"Hey, you'd only get it from me."

I couldn't hold on anymore, I felt myself losing consciousness and slowly slipping away.

"William, NO! Come on stay awake."

"W…wake me up… when I'm in…Equestria"

And just like that I felt nothing, I seemed to be floating around in the void of space and all I hear was Anna crying. Thankfully, I passed out shortly otherwise I don't think I could have taken the sorrow.

I hope you like this first, admitingly sad chapter. I'm going to try and release these chapters as fast as I can, but I'm in the process of writing another story so it will take time. In any case, please review it and tell me what you think. Next time, things get pony fabulous.
