A Train to where?
A New Beginning
Previous ChapterA sign hung on the door of the library speaking one simple word, "Closed" a forceful word that most people treat with respect. Inside the silence was split by the sound of an old grandmother clock ticking the seconds away. in the main part of the library was a small source of light coming from a light bulb hanging on the underside of a fan. Underneath that lonely brave light sat seven ponies, a dragon. And a out of place, injured human being of the age of seventeen. All attention was set on the young man, but his was set elsewhere, lost in the land of thought. His gaze casting out a window out into the abyss as the last rays of light sank away from Equestria's sky.
Nolan broke his gaze on the outside world and picked up his cup of tea, drinking it somewhat noisily. Startling the few that had lost concentration on him. With a clearing of his throat he began. "Everything that I have done since I have arrived here deserves and explanation, and an apology."
An apology is in line for you too my wonderful readers.
"I do not know what I was doing. Everything that happened all seems like a blur to me. After that night I came crashing into this world I completely thought this to be all a dream. But in a dream nothing makes sense. And now It's all starting to come to light. I rushed through it all, not thinking about anyone... er anypony else. Only me. And now I have caused you all some form of pain." Nolan said looking down at his tea, swirling the leaf petal around in the cup.
Where we fit in, Is like Nolan I rushed the story. I thought it all would just be perfect. Just belting it out without any regards for pre-reading. Now I have run low on what to do next, leaving you my readers hanging.
"Nolan, It's not your fault. I'm sure if I had been in your shoes going to the Human world I would be as lost as you." Twilight said, reaching and placing a reassuring hoof on his hand.
"It's not just you that I have hurt." Nolan said, a small tear running down his cheek. "I left all my friends in the other world without any trace of where I am. Selfish as always, I have always been selfish. I never understood what all those people in my life meant to me. Now I don't think there is a way of ever getting back to them."
"Who are your friends?" Pinkie said looking at Nolan intently.
*sigh* "They are some people I have taken for granted greatly. Kyle is a guy who has always been there for me, always defended me, and was always there when I needed someone to talk to. Liz, she was a very energetic and caring girl. She and Kyle where and item, even though she had a huge crush on me. I guess she stuck with Kyle because at least he wasn't as self-centered as me. Then there was Broadie, A guy I always put on the side burner because I thought he was a little on the lame side. But he really is not that lame, he was a guy who even when things were rough in his life. Made sure everybody had a smile on their face."
Twilight gave Pinkie a look that put a large smile on her face.
"And most important was Lacey. Lacey has been my friend since kindergarten. I guess because we spent so much time together I naturally thought we should be together. Turns out, I was soo mistaken, It's not that we spend so much time together that I like her. It's that I enjoy the time we spend together that makes me like her." Nolan said more tears rolling of his cheeks. "And now I just left them because I was so enthusiastic about adventure, and showing them that I am no weakling. That I disregarded everything I love to go have a bit of fun... And now look what I have done." Nolan put his hands over his face, he began to sob lightly.
Twilight looked from the faces surrounding her. Noting the expression on each face. She quietly stood up and walked over to him. She wrapped her hooves around his neck, when she did so Nolan's sobs increased in a waterfall of tears. One by one everyone that was in that room grouped around him and gave him a warm hug that slowly dried the tears in his eyes.
Okay, so here I go. I apologize for the confusion I created with the whole running away, or the near death experience. I was so happy to be able to put out a story that I stopped thinking about the story. Now I have run out of ideas on what to do next. Which is why I have not uploaded in such a long time. Once I get the ball rolling again I will try to be more on task, If anypony out there as an idea, or wants to contribute to the story it would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks and an Apology,
