The first chapter. Well first official chapter… So previously, Vanessa was offered a deal to go to a magic filled world populated by ponies. She weighed her options and after setting the details to her departure, she chose to go on an amazing adventure. Her room turned into a rainbow colored tornado and she ended up passing out.
"Ok… BORED! I'm dying of boredom here."
"Well, could always just listen to my music until I feel tired enough to take a nap."
"A Real Life!"
"Nice voice you got there."
"WHO ARE YOU!?"
"Ok 'mister voice in my head', if you are real, prove it to me."
"'GAG!' friendship is magic."
"This world sounds totally exasperating and annoying."
"What yuh' say?"
"Deal?"
"Done and done my dear! Now hold on!"
"This- better- be- worth- it!"

Chapter 1: I'd rather be abnormal

(Vanessa's Pov)

Ok, so I finally regained consciousness and felt myself lying on some cold surface. I quickly went through a mental checklist of body parts and functions.

'Fingers? Check! Toes? Check! Arms and legs? Check! Breasts? Check +10! Movement?' I wiggled my fingers gently and twiddled my toes 'Check! Ok, now where am I'.

Then the whole deal with the strange voice and my family forgetting me came rushing back into my skull. So the first thought that came into my mind was the jerk screwed me over and I'm dead or in some trap or something. Second thought was I imagined it all and now I'm passed out on the floor in the bathroom or kitchen or somewhere. Third and final thought was I should just stop thinking to myself and open my eyes and see where I am.

When I fluttered my eyes open I saw light. Not like over whelming white light. Nope, not heaven. A more controlled light for a room. I glanced around and saw purple colored walls that were very detailed, colored stained glass windows, and the biggest shock of all, THERE'S A FREAKIN' THROWN RIGHT UP IN HERE! Tapestries and all yo! I figured I must have been in a throne room. Oh great, trespassing in a royal diplomat's castle is exactly the impression I want. I heard a shuffle, or more of a clanking sound. Oh joy, guards. Ok, so the best thing I could do then is just act completely harmless. Yes, then I'm no threat. I need them to trust me. Oh… right. These are gonna be ponies. Why did I agree to this again?

The clanking sound was complemented by large doors opening and I prepared my role as a helpless little girl. When I saw the ponies, I saw the tallest one first. Bigger than me, tall, white with some kind of pink shine to her coat, a horn, large white wings, a flowing mane and tail with pink, blue, green, and purple in it, pinkish purple eyes, and she wore gold horse shoes, a necklace with a gem, and tiara. And on her flanks was the image of a golden sun. She was accompanied by four unicorn guards with gold armor and had blue, brown, white, and green manes and tails with white, brown, and gray fur coats. The looks on their muzzles were shock and alarm, but I put up my act immediately.

"E-excuse me, m-miss. Uh sirs. C-can you please um, t-tell me wh-where I am?"

The guards seemed about to attack. I flinched and closed my eyes when I heard metal clashing out of a sheath. I held my arms over my head and waited to be killed. But the kill never came. I lowered my arms and opened my eyes to see the tall white pony stretching her wings out to stop them. I started to tremble a little on purpose to sell the fear, but in all fairness it actually wasn't that hard to tremble since I really was unsettled. I stood straight and proper and then got down to my knees and put my arms to the floor. If I submit then they know I am their lesser.

"P-please ma'am, I-I'm a little lost. A-and I'm so, so, so sorry to intrude. I-I'm just a-a little confused. I'm sorry."

I heard the clacking of hooves on the hard floor, but kept my head in between my arms.

"Please stand young human."

I felt my jaw slack a little. She knew what humans were? Well, if what ever brought me here knew what I was it isn't too big of a surprise. I shakily rose to my feet and stood up, seeing the royal pony right in front of me.

"I-I'm sorry ma'am. I'm just- just um, a little um… scared."

She seemed to radiate a light. A feel of comfort to me or a warm loving compassion. As if I were an infant and she were my mother. Her eyes soft and caring.

Her eyes.

Violet eyes.

My mother has violet eyes.

Guilt.

"There is nothing to fear my dear human child."

Her voice.

My mother.

Guilt.

"Th-thank you miss. It- it is an honor to meet you." I clasped my hands together and bowed.

"Please dear human, you may call me Celestia. And if a princess may ask, what is your name?"

"I am Vanessa Anaya Lynbrook princess Celestia. It is an honor to meet you my lady."

She gave me a smile and a light hearted chuckle, "Just Celestia is fine dear."

I gave her a small smile and felt the knot in my stomach loosen a bit.

"Thank you… Celestia. Um, if it is alright to ask, where am I exactly?"

"You are in my thrown room Vanessa. In the Canterlot, the capital of Equestria."

"Huh, Canterlot you say? That sounds like this place from my home." I let a giggle slip out of my mouth and she also seemed to laugh quietly.

"Now, Vanessa-"

"Please Celestia, my friends call me Toxic. A-are we friends?"

She smiled and nuzzled my cheek to her face, "Friends we are. Now… Toxic. Do you know how you got here?"

"Yes ma'am. I was in my bedroom listening to music, when there was a man's voice in my head. He asked if I wanted to live in a world more exciting than my own. A world where he said, um rather disgusted actually, friendship is magic. I was worried if I went, my mother and sister would miss me. But he said he would erase me from their memories and they wouldn't be hurt. And, I said I would go."

I looked into her eyes. All I saw was my mother's violet stare.

"Is this that world Celestia? Is friendship really considered so valuable here?" She noticed tears brimming at the rims of my eyes, and wrapped me in a hug with her large wings.

"Yes Toxic. We are different here."

I wiped the tears away before they could spill. "Thank you. Thank you Celestia. I never had friends for very long back home. And my relationships with my mother and sister were… rather strained." I closed my eyes, and I had a small flashback of the 'strain' that there was in my house.

"Vanessa you got sent home from school again!?"

"It wasn't my fault mom I swear!"

"How! How was this fight not your fault this time!?"

"Amber pushed me to the ground! She said she would beat the life out of me! She kicked me three times! I was just defending myself!"

"Vanessa we've been over this! Violence doesn't solve violence."

"Really Mom!? That's what you're telling me!? Why can't you just ever be on my side? WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS AGAINST ME!?"

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BEHAVE!?"

"I do! They start it! I finish it!"

"Vanessa… uh! Why can't you be more like Jessica?"

The tears started again when I remembered that. She actually wanted me to be more like my sister. My bratty, annoying, space invading little sister! I felt the tears slide down my face.

'Why can't you be more like Jessica?'

I hugged Celestia back when it echoed in my head.

'Why can't you be more like Jessica?'

I hugged her tighter when I started to whimper. Was I not good enough? Is my personality too weird for her?

'Why can't you be more like Jessica?'

I felt the sobs leave my throat. I hadn't noticed, but Celestia dismissed the guards so I could have my break down in privacy. I heaved a large breathe and tried to control myself.

"I-I'm so sorry princess Celestia. My mother and I just weren't… on the same page."

I moved away from her embrace and rubbed my face as clear as possible.

"It is perfectly alright Vanes- Toxic. But why were you and your family so at ends with one another?"

"My mother. She just… didn't seem to always… agree with my way of seeing things. She seemed to favor my younger sister. She just said… 'Why can't I be more like her?' like she didn't like who I was and just wanted me to be… normal."

Normal. There is no such thing.

It varies from person to person… or here I guess it's pony to pony. But it is still the same.

Normal has no definite setting.

My mother just didn't like who I was, so she wanted me to be someone else.

"That is an offal thing to say to a child," Celestia wrapped me back in her wings and soothed me.

"I-it's alright. Really. Because I don't believe in normal now. If being like the kids from my school is normal, I'd prefer being abnormal."

"That is a beautiful thought Toxic," she whispered to me. My eyes were growing heavy. Letting out my emotions left me drained.

"Celestia?" I asked.

"Yes toxic?"

"Please don't send me back," and with that I drifted off into a peaceful sleep in the comfort of the princess's wings.

So what yuh' think? Is it good? Too long? Not enough plot? Specifics? Any comments or reviews are appreciated. If you wanna review or comment just be nice. Don't start being mean if my first story isn't good enough.
Toxic Wastenote out!
