In a small town in England there was a boy named Steven living. He had a really nice family which would have supported him with anything he was doing, no matter how weird it seemed to them. However Steven was not such a child. He was doing his homework everyday, never complaining, he was an overall nice and polite person.
The only thing he was bad at was making friends. He never felt like talking to his classmates, only if he really had to, he ended up talking to them. His teachers told him to befriend them because they thought Steven might be lonely but that was not the case.
Steven had a lot of friends, not in real life but on the internet. He surfed on various sites and was quickly accepted by many people who shared the same interest as him. That interest was playing video games.
Steven was a gamer, not to say the least, quite a "Hardcore Gamer". He played 8 hours straight a day sometimes or was being on several forums about games. Nobody really minded it however as Steven was keeping up with his studies. He was not an A-Student, however he was quite a good B-Student.
The only thing that bothered Steven was that this life didn't feel real to him. His everyday routine, waking up, taking a shower, going to school, coming back home, playing games all day and having breakfast, lunch and dinner, only to go back to bed and start his everyday life all over again. This just felt so wrong for Steven.
As time passed, Steven started becoming depressive, he neglected his studies, was starting to become rude for no reason and ended up crying himself to sleep, knowing that everyday would be the same. He tried breaking out of his daily routine but he couldn't, until one day a package arrived.
Little did he know about the sender or the content. As he opened the package, he pulled out a game called "My Little Human". He was slightly confused. He never heard of this game. He knew about a TV Show called My Little Pony so he figured it might be some kind of joke from a programmer.
He started up his PC, put the CD into his disc tray and installed the game. Once the installment was finished, the game loaded up. On screen there were two girls standing, one of them having rainbow-colored hair and another one behind her, as if she was hiding, having long pink hair. While the first girl looked rather boyish, the other one behind looked more like a typical girl.
"What's this? Some kind of Sim Dating game?" Steven wondered, hitting the start button. It did not react. He tried exiting the game but he was unable to, no matter what he tried so he decided to turn off his PC completely. As it got dark outside, Steven got really tired and decided to go to bed after taking a shower.
"What time is it? It's so dark, I can't see anything, what time is it. If I only had some light to see the clock." Steven mumbled to himself, wanting to light up his lamp. However before he could reach it, the lamp was already turned on.
"Here you go!" A girly rather quiet voice said.
"Thanks...wait a second..." Steven opened his eyes. There was a girl standing in front of him, around his age. "Is this a dream? I guess puberty hit me with everything it got now."
"A dream?" The girl asked.
"What are you talking about, get up, we're here to get you!" Another voice said.
As Steven looked to his feet, he noticed another girl sitting on his bed. He remembered her, it was the girl from the game, no way he wouldn't have noticed that rainbow-colored hair. Rubbing his eyes, he looked at her again. "What's going on here? Who are you girls?" turning his head back to the other girl.
The girl then suddenly blushed and turned her head down to the ground. "It's Flutters..." her voice lowered.
"Pardon?" Steven replied.
"It's Fluttershy" her voice can barely be heard.
"Okay, Fluttershy, my name is Steven, nice to meet you. And you are?" Steven turned his head to the other girl.
"Name's Rainbow Dash, best athelete there ever was!"
"Well, that sounds quite arrogant." Steven added "So you were saying that you were going to get me? To where?"
"Duh, to Equestria, silly! After all, you started the game!"
Steven didn't know what to expect as he noticed a no was out of question. What will he be experiencing? Will he be alright? But most of all, is this a dream?
Before Steven was able to make sense out of this situation, Rainbow Dash dragged him to his PC. The same screen as this afternoon showed up, the only difference was the females being gone. "Have they really come out of this game to get me?" Steven wondered. "But that's nonsense, there is no way in life, something could be coming out of a monitor!" As he said that he noticed Fluttershy going through the screen. Steven's eyes widened. "Alright, this just has to be a dream! I'm 100% certain now!"
Rainbow Dash giggled as she pushed him into the monitor. As Steven got through, turning around to see what this "Portal" looks like from the other side, he saw his own room from the perspective he would have if he would be standing where his PC was. After Rainbow Dash entered the window, the Portal started to shrink, until it vanished.
"This is Humanville, there are a lot of fun things to do, I'll introduce you to our friends and show you around town tomorrow. However let's get you a place to sleep first, it's night after all. I'm sure Big Macintosh wouldn't mind another guy sleeping in his room."
As the girls went on ahead, Steven looked at the beautiful scenery as he got lost in thoughts.
"Hey come on, will ya?! We can't wait all day!" Rainbow shouted, turning back at where Steven is standing.
Steven rushed to the girls, eventually catching up with them. Starting his new lifestyle in this strange world.
