As I awoke in the dusty, dank room, I could see nothing. I tried to move only to find that I, in fact, couldn’t. I struggled to break free to no avail. Leather straps were holding me down to a cold, metal table that was somehow standing up. The only thing i could see in the darkness was a silhouette
And that’s when I heard it……..
The Voice.
I had heard this voice before, yet I couldn’t remember from where. It sounded strangely familiar, like i had heard it on a show. However, this sounded raspy and dark. If only I had kept something hidden on myself that Icould use to break these straps, then I would be able to know who did this to me. How they did it. Where I was. My thoughts of escape were interrupted by that voice.
“Oh, you think you are so clever do you, HAH! What a laugh. And I should know.” I heard it say. I once again tried to struggle out of the bonds that held me, as I waited for my eyes to adjust to the darkness so I could see who this person really was. However, I would have no luck this time. At this realization, I figured that I would just listen and wait for this person to give away his, or her, identity. Then they would be sorry.
“Finding the signs, finding your way here. However, I am sorry to tell you that you have failed. What a party this has been, awaiting your arrival. I've been sharpening my skills, awaiting you.”
At this point my memory was starting to come back, but not enough to remember what I was trying to
accomplish….
a portal to Equestria.
This sudden memory loss aggrivated me, as I probably could have found a way out by now if I could process any type of strategy.
“Oh how long I have waited for this day. To finally have the great hero of earth, Princeton, in my clutches.
Oh, this is going to be so much FUN! However, I am an honest Pony. So allow me to provide you with some ‘enlightenment’”.
Wait….
Did it just say….
PONY!?
As soon as the pieces were being put together in my mind, the light flashed on. Showing me a character I could
never forget. A character that had begun to haunt my mind a near year ago.
“Look at you. You are simply going to make the most delicious CUPCAKES."
Allow me to explain what is going on:
My name is Princeton. I am only 15 years old. However, don't let my age fool you. I have seen things that would make men with wills of steel curl up into a ball. I was born when my mother was only 20. My dad was a naval engineer; however, he grew tired of moving and decided to settle in the small town of westerly. This is where we have lived since I was three. My entire life people have only known me as jake, and never Princeton.
I wasn't a normal kid growing up. But of course society doesn't consider anybody that is a guy that watches My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic as normal. I was usually considered one of the best guys to hang out with at school. i was good at keeping my true identity a secret. That is, until.......
The War.
The battle of all battles, the fight of all fights, the war of all wars, and i got to lead it from the front lines. My orders were simple: protect the leader, protect your home. But, as we had found out, this was not the real war. This was shown to us to help us prepare. However, this is a story for another time.
I had become a brony before all my friends on my own will. Some of them frowned upon it while others embraced the message of friendship and tolerance. Those who did understood me: my humor, the songs I would sing, and the references I would make. The only thing tha made it better was my family's acceptance of this. Some of them even became bronies and pegasisters themselves.
My life was set, that is, until I started to notice something wierd. Whenever I would watch the show, no matter what mood I was in before, it would always bring a smile to my face. However, whenever she, Rainbowdash, came on, I felt something a little more than happiness. I could literally feel my heart doing over a thousand sonic rainbooms at once. This made me start to wonder. Do I love............ a PONY?!?
After that, I started to hear voices. Voices of a... girl. She was either screaming in pain, crying in sorrow, or something else. When I would go to sleep at night, I would only see her in sorrow or pain. I could never get any sleep without waking up in the middle of the night. Reading Cupcakes and Rainbow Factory didn't help at all. That was the day that I took it onto myself to protect her. Then, there came the day I could fulfil my heart's desire...
**********************************************************************************************
It was a typical day, waking up to my alarm clock, more specifically my stepdad, and taking a shower. Since I am the only one up at six o clock in the morning, I happen to get all the hot water to myself..... at least for some time. I then go to get dressed. Of course, being a fifteen year old guy makes it soooooooo hard for me to pick out something to wear, so by then it's six twenty. My typical morning then consists of watching whatever new episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was on before while I wait for my stepdad to wake up and drive me to school.
Ah yes, high school. Where nobody will ever critisize you for anything. My school, however, does have a lot of nice people. And these people usually ar all my friends. This is due to me being so well rounded that I can hang out with different cliques. Hell, most of them don't even know that I watch Friendship is Magic, which makes it even funnier when the guys I hang out with laugh at the references I make to the show.
It took me until then to realize the worst, that it was Valentines Day. Oh, how I loathed that day. A day when everybody could be with their special somebody. Well, everyone that is, except for me. It probably didn't help that my first class of the day was gym, seeing as most of my friends I hang out in gym with are girls. This, of course, gets pretty hilarious around Valentines Day, which tends to cheer me up until my next class.
However today would be different. This, of course, I didn't know at the time. All I knew was that if I didn't hurry up, I was going to be late for PE. There I met up with some of my friends that happened to be in the same class. None of them knew that I was a brony.
"JACOB! I can't believe you're finally here! I've been waiting for you. I am really hungry right now. I wonder why? Is it just me or am I way too hyper." And to top off her usual hyperactiveness, she gave me a hug. Yep, that's my friend Morgan for you. I can never help but laugh when I'm around her. She reminds me so much of Pinkie Pie.
"OH...MY....GOD I can't wait for history! We are going to have so much fun!"
From there went on the same gym routine until the jogging. As I gained speed and pulled away from my friends, I was left in solitude. I was carefree at the moment, then I must have let my guard down. All of a sudden, my vision went blurry. I could hear faint sobs in the distance.
Hello? Can anybody hear me? Please. Help me. What was this? Who was talking? My vision blurred even more.
Somebody, please help. Please! My head started to throb with pain. I had lost all control.
PRINCETON!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And with that, I slammed into the wall.
And everything went black..........
NOTE: Thanks for reading a preview of my new story! It, however, is still a work in progress so any advice is appreciated. Any constructive criticism can be posted in the comments, this being my first fanfic. RD OUT
