My little pony is, or at least WAS, a show I grew up to love, I know, a young-adult man that's about to turn 20 being a fan of a little girls show about friendship is weird, but it was something that I had a strong connection to, wait where are my manners, I'm Michael, and I'm here to share an experience with you that took away my connection to the my little pony franchise.
It was like any normal night, I would arrive at my house after work. I had a job as an animator for quite some time, but that's not important. Continuing on, I entered my home, the floor used to have a polished wooden texture, now it's just one loose floorboard after another. I heard that you couldn't even afford a house back then, I wonder how far worse it could've been for me. I would sit on my couch that would groan with the lightest weight out of it, I'm surprised it's still together in one piece.
I grabbed the remote, ready to turn on the TV and relax after a long day, until I got an unexpected call from someone. Someone I never wanted to even think about ever again. "That scumbag." I say to myself as I begrudgingly pick up the phone. "Who is this? I'm busy right now." I ask into the old telephone that has been left by the previous owners. "Michael how's it been? It's me, Jackson." I groan as I hear this. "How have I been? How have I been!? I think you know very well how I've been!" I say, almost shouting. "But that's the thing in the past now, we're still friends-" I cut Jackson off.
"Friends…? Friends? Yeah, I'm sure that friends murder another friend's girlfriend out of jealousy!" I say, coldly reminding him about the reason he was put, and was still behind bars. "She should have been mine, Sarah and I would've had a wonderful life together if you didn't decide to be in her life!" Jack would say in anger. "So killing her was your option? I wonder if we were really friends or if you were just playing along to give her a good impression. And for the last time I'm not bailing you out of that hell you sent yourself into! You can rot for all I care!" and before Jack could say anything else, I hung up on him. I knew that he lacked the ability to feel for another, so it was pointless talking to him.
I then turn on the TV, my little pony was streaming on the TV channel, the episode had the title card reading: "the magic duel" this was one of my personal favorite episodes. I was so excited to rewatch it, but little did I know how things would turn out, if I knew what I did now, I would've turned off the tv and slept in my bed, dreaming about what my life could've been, what life would be like if Sarah was still around…
