I go to my usual dumpster hidden away in a darken alley in hopes of getting to sleep. My whole body was hurting so bad, but I knew I had to keep going for myself and my hopes for a better life.I couldn't sleep looking back on the torture and groutesqe end to my life as I knew it... my little brother. As I laid down in the dumpster I stared up into the barely visible night sky and saw something I never thought I would see... a shooting star! When I saw it cross the night sky, I quickly made a wish a wish for a better life, then closed my eyes and slipped into a dreamless sleep.
(Two months later)
It's been a while since I thought about how much I've been living on the streets for the pass few months, and I haven't really thought about my family that often either. I rubbed the scars on my right cheek then the other ones on my back, chest, and legs bringing back sad memory's of them hurting me... killing my body... killing...me. The more I rubbed my scars the more I thought of what to do now. Should I kill myself? Should I start a new life? How will I start a new life without getting a chance because I don't think I will ever get a chance again.
(The next day)
"Ow! My head!" I rubbed my head as I got up from the dumpster that I slept in last night. I felt sore from sleeping on the cold, hard, and uncomfortable metal floor of the dumpster that I called home. My stomach emitted a loud grumble to reminding me of the hunger that always seem to be present in my life. I ran down a few blocks to a local Burger King looking at the disgusting greed of others not even showing the least care for homeless kid. I then started to search through the trash cans to scavenge for some leftover food in hopes to find something eatable, but of course at 3 in the morning my search came up nothing, it was still to early for the trash to be taken out sadly. My clothes and by that I mean only clothes were dirty, ragged, and torn from my current living status. This was only made worse by the old rotten banana peels and other stuff that I can't even describe that was left clinging to them from my place of residence.
I then decided to do the thing I hated to do beg. But the more I begged the more I noticed people were as cold and heartless as statues and walked passed me. No words could describe how depressed, cold and lonley as people were laughing, smiling and stupid crap I lost along time ago.
I decided to continued my search for food by looking through the garbage around several other places nearby for anything to eat even a nibble would help. I found something I never found in a trash can when I foraged deep in the last trash can I found today. It was a letter that was to high of quality to be in the dump and judging by the stains it had been here for awhile, and it seemed almost untouched by the garbage around it and it was unopened. It had an odd symbol on the front which peaked my curiosity so I decided to rip it open and read it, I mean why not? Who would throw out a perfectly good letter unopened? When I opened the letter I found it was addressed to... Me?!? I was dumb founded that there was a letter address to me in a trash can.
Dear Chuck Inman,
You don't know me yet though I've been watching you for the past three years. I have seen the pain and suffering you were going through in your life, and it broke my heart to see you dumped on the side of the street left to your untimely faith. So I want to help you if you say yes to my offer, my student Twillight and her friends will help you live into my land of Equestria with the rest of my little ponies. What do you say? Do you want to come and join or would you like me prove I'm real first?
From your friend,
Princess Celestia.
"I...I want more proof." I said to myself. The note suddenly began to glow a bright yellow as if it would burst into flames any second, but after a few moments the light faded away leaving new words on the paper. I began to read them and got something I didn't expect.
"Will be here at midnight, wait for us. We want to give you another chance at a new life." Ugh... now I have to wait! I thought before deciding to run toward the park and gather my meager belongings. I ran as fast as I could towards the park where I had hidden the most important thing left in my life. If this is my chance that I longed for to start a new life then I have to take it and never look back.
(Midnight)
I was waiting in the same ragged old clothes that came from my horrible parents that day long ago and I was pretty sure it was close to midnight...
"Hello Chuck! Were you waiting long?" A voice came from behind me. I quickly turned around to come face to face with seven... ponies? The one closest to me had lavender coat with a dark blue mane and tail with a strip of purple, pink running through them. The three on it's left had similar bright colors, the first having a white coat, and deep purple mane and tail. The next one had an orange coat with blonde mane and tail, followed by one with a light blue coat, and to my continuing amazement a rainbow mane and tail. The other two on the right of the lavender one had a light pink coat, and a darker pink mane and tail. The last one was difficult to make out as it tried to hide behind the all pink pony, but I could make out the coat of this scared pony to be a pale yellow along with a pale pink mane and tail. The one standing behind the others was larger, and had a white coat with a flowing mane and tail of pale pink, green, blue, and slightly darker blue.
"How do you know my name?" I asked avoiding the question, and watched the largest pony smile sadly at me.
"Didn't you read the letter? I've known you for three years and was sad to see all that had happened to you, like the scars on your cheek." I rubbed my cheek sadly remembering the pain of being beaten and the lingering pain I got from touching it.
"How can I trust you?" I asked scared of these new creatures that stood before me. The butter colored pony yelped slightly from my question, but Celestia spoke up.
"Listen Chuck, we have all seen what happened to you, and all we want to do is help you. You don't know anything about us, but all we want to do is give you a new start in life." She gave me a truthful look as I thought for a second about what she was offering me.
"In Ponyville we have all kind of ponies and of all different ages. It's a chance for you to connect with ponies the way we do, and it's a perfect chance for you to meet somepony. Maybe even a chance for you to find or have a family that truly cares for you." Her words seemed genuine. I want a new chance and maybe even the chance to meet someone that I can come to love again. I need to do this for myself. I thought as i looked over the ponies in front me once more.
"Okay... I'm coming with you to your world..." They all smiled happily, but I shot them a glare before continuing "but I swear if you try anything to hurt me, you will regret it."
They all nodded slowly in agreement, but I could tell by the smile on there faces that they were happy with my decision. Suddenly a portal opened up behind them, and they motioned me to walk towards it. "Wait!" They stopped and looked at me in confusion. Turning slowly towards Celestia I voiced one last question. "How do I know this will all work out in the end for me?" Celestia thought for a moment before giving me a reasonably good answer.
"I give you my word." I nodded letting her 'okay I trust you'.
I only had one thought in mind when I walked up to the shimmering light and stopped. "This is a good choice... I know it is." Then I walked into the white portal smiling.

Back to school and friends
After I step through the portal I saw the princess had taken me along with three other ponies. A sign was posted near by that read...
"Ponyville" I said quietly as the others stared at me.
"Twilight, my faithful student, will you take care of Chuck for me just for awhile?" She and her friends nodded in agreement while I just stood there stunned from the sudden change of scenery. The pink one with the especially fluffy mane and tail spoke up next.
"Yay! A new pony in Ponyville! When can we throw you a party? I'm just so excited I could..." She was completely cut off by a orange hoof being shoved in her mouth as I just smiled slightly at the whole event.
"Sugercube, when do you want a party?" She asked while keep her hoof in place.
"I don't need a party." The pink pony gasped and looked at me stunned. She quickly pulled the hoof out of her mouth and bounce over in front of me.
"Oh. Yes. You. Do!" She was just inches away from my face and looked as if 'No' was not going to be accepted for an answer here. "You are a new pony... human... alien... ummm..." She tapped a hoof on her chin a few moment before a huge grin spread across her face. "You are a new friend here and you will get a party!" The rest of the others nodded while I just sighed and nodded along with them.
"Okay, How about in two days?" I asked. She nodded and gave me a tight hug that made my bones ache. Once she let go she galloped off to who knows were. "Hey, it's getting late and we really should get going." They all nodded and Twilight turned to me.
"Okay, Chuck you will be staying with me in my guest bed." I nodded as we headed off towards her home. I looked around briefly to see if the princess was still there, but she wasn't to be seen.
We made it into the town square then proceeded towards her home, where I was stunned to see a little dragon coming out of a very large tree with a door in the trunk, but before I could say anything about the tree or the dragon he charged and tackled me to the ground. Once I could react to the unprovoked attack I threw him off and heard Twilight yell.
"Spike! Stop trying to hurt our guest!" Spike got to his feet and began to brush himself off before looking at me then back at Twilight.
"I'm sorry about that Twilight I just thought it was a monster." I frowned and gave a growl. This caught both of there attention and Spike immediately ran behind Twilight.
"Spike, Chuck not a monster and you shouldn't have just attack him. Remember what everypony thought about Zecora? Plus if he was a monster you could have been hurt!" Twilight gave a frustrated sigh and stepped away from the small dragon.
"Now Spike go and apologize to Chuck."
"I'm sorry uhh... Chuck was it?" I nodded. "Can you forgive me?" He walked over and held out his purple claw. I shook it showing I had no hard feelings over the thing.
"Don't sweat it, man." He nodded and let us in. I was shocked to see a huge library full of books.
"Do you like books Chuck?" I grinned and nodded.
"I always read books when I was in preschool I can't wait to read these." Twilight grinned and Spike smiled.
"Great. Will get along just fine for now get some rest you have school tomorrow." My eyes widened in surprise.
"How did you get me enriched in a school so fast?" Twilight giggled.
"You didn't think we weren't ready for you? Well everypony except Spike."
"Hey!" We both laughed. For the first time in a long time I felt happy.I then saw an Apple levitate in front of my face.
"Hungry Chuck? How about a apple?" I nodded and took the apple.
"Thanks I'm so hungry." She smiled and we each ate a apple. After We were finished we went to bed but Twilight told me my bed was downstairs sadly I nodded and went downstairs. I was sitting in a guest bedroom set up for me it was surprisingly comfortable and the pony's that were around me were nice to me but I have a new day for tomorrow and its in school but the problem is how will the pony's at school react to the first human in Equestria but I had not many doubts on this for now at least.
(??? POV.)
I sat on my throne waiting for my subjects to finish with the experiment and then One scientist came back. "What are the results?" He nervously chuckled.
"I'm sorry your Highness the pony blood wasn't strong enough." I growled angerly.
"Why isn't it working!?" I yelled at him he steeped back scared.
"The pony DNA was to weak we need fresh..er samples or somet... hing diff... erent." I sighed. What was fresher then pony blood? I thought and then another scientist came up to my throne room.
"We found a new being in Equestria Its name is Chuck and its called a human.I smiled devilishly maybe this is what I need a young human who looks so fresh with blood I can't wait to use it.
(The next day With Chuck)
"Chuck get up its your first day of school!" I heard Twilight yell at me I then looked at the clock it was 7:21 so I ran down the stairs and saw Twilight with a nice backpack for me.
"Here Chuck I packed your lunch for you." I took the new backpack from her.
"Thanks Twilight." I smiled and hugged her which she returned walked towards school. As I walked other ponies were staring at me I just ignored them sense I got that ' hes such a freak' look even when I was on earth living off the streets like a raccoon. While walking towards school after a few minutes of walking I saw the school it didn't look bad in fact it looked like a nice place to learn. I saw a purple pony with a light pink mane and tail I waved to her she smiled at me.
"Your the new student I'm Ms. Cheerilee your teacher come on in and introduce yourself." I nodded and walked in to see a few fillies and colts staring at me but some had welcoming smiles on there faces but one shot me a glare she was light pink coat and a purple and white mane and tail she seemed like a rich girl with the way her mane was braided and the uhh... I thought eye shadow and I knew immediately she seemed like someone who I really won't like.
"Hello my little ponies meet our new friend Chuck." They all said hello exempt the pink one who stayed silent.
"Hi there..."I said with a smile on my face the others just put a smile of there own. "So were do I sit?" She pointed to a seat near a filly with an orange coat and purple hair I walked towards the seat and sat down it was a good wooden desk not uncomfortable like my ones in preschool.
"All right My little pony's we have a worksheet and you may have a partner so partner up everypony." I decided to work alone sense I'm the human of the school. Until I felt a hoof touch me. It was the orange coat pony she had pretty violet eyes that made my heart skip a beat.
"Hey Chuck can I work with you?" She seemed kinda scared asking me but if she wanted to help me how could I refuse.
Okay lets get to work." She nodded and scooted her desk to mine and we the got to work.
(10 minutes later)
"All right my little pony's time for lunch." All the pony's went to the playground to eat then the orange mare asked to join her and her friends for lunch I nodded grabbed my lunch and walked to the lunch area She then pointed to one table near the fence we sat there and then two more ponies showed up, one was light yellow with red mane and tail with a pink bow in her mane and the other one had a marshmallow white coat purple and pink mane and tail.
Hey Scootaloo who's your friend?" they ask her looking at me.
"Apple bloom Sweetie belle this is the new kid Chuck I invited him to eat with us." Scootaloo said smiling at her friends.
"Hi there." they smile at me softly and sit at the lunch table as we eat we start to chat.
"So Chuck what brings ya to Ponyville?" Apple bloom asked me I thought for a sec.
"This place seemed really nice." I answered truthfully, they smiled.
"Is that your only reason?" Scootaloo asked.
"..." They were wondering why I was silent I felt tears well up into my eyes but I held them in. I felt a hoof on my shoulder.
"Hey if ya don't want to talk about it we can wait." I nodded
" I will tell you girls another time its just sad." They nodded and we ate not saying much but for now its best I don't say anything.
Hey y'all how about we play catch." We allied nodded I used to play that with some friends back at my old school.
(Five minutes later)
I catch a ball Sweetie belle threw at me and threw it towards Scootaloo who caught it and threw it to Apple Bloom and back to me.
*Riingg!!* It was time for class we all then put the ball away and went inside.
"Okay class have you got more time to work on your assignment so get back to your partner and if you get done early you get free time to color or play games so get working everypony." Me and Scootaloo started working hard on this assignment that wasn't that hard after the teacher explained it and the rest was done in 5 minutes after that we turned it in and it would be graded and given back tomorrow.
"Okay now what do we do?" I asked Scootaloo gave me a piece of paper and so crayons.
"I wanted to get to now you better."She said I noticed a shade of pink on her cheeks but I decided to see what she meant.
"I want to know how you got that c on your face." I decided to tell her what happened but very lightly so I didn't scar her.
"What do you want to now about?" She put a hoof to her chin and thought up a good question trying to piece together what she knows about me.
"After you family left you how did you survive for so long?" I knew immediately how to answer.
Ever heard of scavengers?" She shook her head "Well scavengers are people who are really good at finding resources like food and water and after you had food and some water and a little bit of shelter like staying under a bridge trying are best to live."She looked at me and smiled.
"If you ever need your new friends talk to us at our clubhouse." I smiled, its been awhile sense I've had actual friends.
"How about after school you show me the clubhouse?" I asked she smiled and nodded I was exited to make a few new friends after my old friends in California...I wonder how there doing. "Hey you in there?" I shook my head to hear Scootaloo talking to me I nodded and looked at the ground as I felt tears of pain come to me but held them in we then heard a voice.
"Hey blank flank who's the ugly thing next to you?" I felt hurt but stayed calm trying not to stoop to her level.However when she said 'ugly' Scootaloo shot the pony an ugly glare.
"He's not ugly!Or a thing. He's my friend get out of here Diamond Tiara!" She got closer and looked at her with hateful eyes I then intervened knowing it will get worse if someone doesn't calm things down.
" Hey leave her alone, Quit being such a bully you jerk!" I wish I could cuss but I couldn't in school Scootaloo looked at me with a slight smile.
"What are you gonna do ugly? Hurt me? Your already hurting me just by looking at you." I was pissed but her words were as usless as her cutie mark. Scootaloo could tell but before I could yell at the little rich girl Ms.Cheerilee was watching and she was mad.
"Diamond Tiara! How dare you hurt the feelings of are new student!" She yelled angerly at her She then looked at me with some concern. "Are you okay Chuck?" She asked concerned. I nodded.
"Yeah I..I'm fine." I felt Scootaloo hug me while glaring at Diamond Tiara.
"Diamond Tiara your horrible! Leave him alone. I was surprised she was defending me but I hugged her back and smiled.
"Hey it's ok Scoots she will figure herself out soon enough." Ms.Cheerilee nodded and turned her attention back to Diamond Tiara.
"Diamond Tiara you will be staying here for a long talk about feelings." We then heard the bell ring and knew it was time to go We then all left except Diamond Tiara who had to stay behind I could also hear screaming coming from the school but right now I didn't care in the slightest but then Scoots came to me to ask a Question.
"Hey Chuck?"
"Yes?"
"Wanna go to the clubhouse?"

Big Mac, A rescue and a fight
Big Mac, A rescue and a fight
I said "Yes!" Then once I had answered I found that we were almost there. What I saw before me was a farm along with Scootaloo's two friends, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. "Hey Scootaloo! Hey Chuck!" They said greeting us excitedly.
"How was it with you're 'boyfriend?'" Scootaloo blushed into a fire of tomatos. I didn't even know if I was attracted to ponies and mares in general yet.
"Okay Scoots, you wanted to show me the clubhouse?" The three fillies gasped before Applebloom spoke up.
"I want you to meet my family first Chuck. There real nice." I nodded, but I also found myself scared to meeting pony's especially one's that could think I'm dangerous. I saw a beautiful red house, when I got closer to it a boot hit me in the face. I saw a big red stallion and before I could react he tackled me. I kicked him off quickly, then backed up hitting the fence behind me. He tried to tackle me for a second time, but again I jumped out of the way letting him collide with the fence. Applebloom went to help him up before she started yelling at him.
"Big Macintosh! What are you doing attacking Chuck!" She yelled. He looked at me only to find me giving him the most icy glare I could give right back at him.
"That's Chuck?" Applebloom nodded leaving Big Macintosh to gasp at his mistake. "Sweet Celestia! Ah'm so sorry!" He held out his hoof to help me up, but I was in no mood to accept his help at the moment, so I swatted the hoof away. Still angry for him straight out attacking me without being provoked. I got up to my feet brushing off the dust my clothes from landing on the dirt.
"Well, Is this how you treat a guest of this country!? You throw a boot at them and then try to kill him?" I yelled with my blood boiling in rage. He looked away ashamed of his actions and soon I felt bad for him. It was just a mistake after all and I really need to me more forgiving. "Look... I'm really angry about you attacking me and I'm probably telling Twilight about this, but for now how about we start over with a nice hello?" His jaw dropped open, but gave a quick nod in agreement.
"Alright, so uhh... I'm Big Macintosh you can call me'h Mac." I nodded as he held out his hoof which I shook kindly.
"Well, I'm the new guy Chuck and Applebloom wanted me to meet her family." I held a hand to my stomach were Mac had hit me and decided I would need some bandage or something, because I felt a little trickle of warm blood running down my skin. "Oh no! Mac I need band-aids or something to stop this bleeding now!" I said panicking.
He quickly grabbed me along with the others help and pulled over to a bench. I sat and began to blush as they pulled off my Jacket then my shirt. My shirt was stained with some blood on the front which happen to be were he hit me. Also it was where one of my many scars was and thinking it may have reopened one of them, I began to get really scared.
"No! You opened up one of my scars! Hurry!" I held my hand over the wound and applied pressure to keep from bleeding. He quickly came out with another pony. It was the one from yesterday. I looked at the girls who were both scared and concerned. Especially Scootaloo I think I saw a tear in her eye and some panic in the girls voices, but wiped the thought away when somepony spoke up.
"Big Mac why did you attack him?!?" He wore a sad expression on his face, but I decided to defend him for what he had done although I still held some anger for what he did.
"Look, it was wrong for him to attack me, but he was just trying to protect the girls." I looked to the girls who were still gazing at me and my injury. I just sighed sadly as I was being patched up."Besides it's not like I've ever known what it feels like to be loved." I mumbled as they just looked at me with wide eyes.
"Didn't you're parents love you?" Sweetie Belle asked. I hated my parents. They were cold and careless of others.
"Well, Sweetie Belle by all the scars you see. You tell me... they made me this way." They were sad for me, honestly, but I was more focused on my injury. Once they bandaged it up I felt a little better, then thought that I might never change for the better. Until I felt a small set of hooves wrap around me. I looked down to find that it was Scootaloo crying softly with her head against my chest. I was shocked that she was the one crying and began to wonder why, but I think I knew. "Scoots, why are you crying?" I asked quietly. She sniffled softly into my chest, but never moved to wipe the tears running down her cheeks.
"You didn't deserve any of that! You're a great person, so don't be like that! We're your friends and you will always have us!" I was shocked by her words, but found she was right. For once in my life I had actual friends who would be there for me. I smiled happily at her words and returned her hug just before I hear Applebloom speak up.
"I told you they were a couple." She said to Sweetie Belle. They giggled along with the soft laughter coming from Mac and Applejack I think was her name. Scootaloo blushed again and I just roll my eyes at their staement. We ended our hug and I got to my feet feeling a slight pain from my stomach, but not strong enough to stop me.
"Hey! Now that I'm feeling better, can I have the tour of your farm now?" Mac just gave a curtly nod
"Applejack, can you go tell Granny Smith about our friend so she doesn't hurt him too?" She nodded and went into the farmhouse. I looked around the field, then noticed the broke fence that Mac crashed through. "First though I need to get some planks to fix the fence."
"Okay then." He went off and the girls hurried off to the other side of the house for some reason. While I went to take a look at the broke fence, though honestly it wasn't so much broken, but two of the planks were craked badly and one was broken in half. I saw the top plank wasn't broken so I decided to pick it up. Soon I heard some loud buzzing sound.
"Ahh! Help me!" I heard Scootaloo scream and ran to where the girls had been. Only to arrive as Scootaloo was being kidnapped by a some kind of bug/pony hybrid. I think because it had the body of a pony with huge solid blue eyes and buzzing insect wings it kinda grossed me out. I saw Scootaloo was being pulled on by Applebloom and Sweetie Belle while the bug pony pulled back obviously stronger. I immediately swung my wooden plank and hit the thing across its head making it drop Scootaloo. She ran to me giving me a big hug as the bug pony started to get up I then saw Mac with his eyes widen in horror and .
"Let get in the house!" I heard Mac yell causing all of us to run toward the house's front door, but my escape was interrupted when the thing grabbing my leg causing me to fall. The thing tried to pin me to the ground, but I gave a quick kick knocking it off only long enough to get to my feet just to be tripped again. Mac and the girls came back out of the house to find me struggling with this creature.
I glanced at Mac and saw him rushing over to me. I was still fighting to get the creature off of me. "Help!" I shouted as Mac pull the thing off me. Only to get kicked himself by the creature and I quickly grabbed the thing shoving it against a nearby tree. It's horn impacting into the tree trunk giving me an idea. Before the creature could recover from being slammed in to the tree I kick it's head causing it's horn to plunge deeper into the tree trunk. It was now stuck to the tree thanks to it's horn so I gave one more kick breaking it's horn off and knocking the thing out cold.
As the others came towards me I sighed thankful that it was finally over. Scootaloo came over and hugged me softly while the others gathered around. "Thanks for saving me Chuck. I'm glad your safe." I returned her hug, but looked at the thing that had it's horn broke off laying at the bottom of the tree. I pulled away from Scootaloo to go over and get a better look at it. My boot print still on the side of its head, then I noticed it had holes nears the bottom of each leg.
Applejack came out of the house soon after taking everything in from the aftermath of my fight with the unknown creature. "What the hay happened!? Are y'all okay?" We all nodded, but the whole event left me with some pretty big questions. One of which was...
"What are we going to do with this thing?" I asked Applejack then looked back at the thing still passed out. Applejack had glare in her eyes that told me we weren't gonna be happy with the decision but I wasn't feeling well and slowly found myself passed out on the ground with the normally loud screams of distant voices.
