Chapters My name is Riley, I am a brony. I am in a clan of gamers who play just to have fun. You might know who I am, but I will just shorten names, and alter it a bit. I know I can’t start this story off with an autobiography, but I can tell you about the time I met somepony REALLY special...Enjoy, the story of the time I met Rainbow Dash.
Day 1, October 17
Today, I was playing minecraft, when I heard a bang on my window. I jerk my head over to the sound, but I see nothing. When I hear more knocks, I get tense as I look over, and there is the thing that makes me think " what?!?" was...Rainbow Dash.
She is sitting there with a sad look on her face. I could tell she was upset about something, she looked cold, for she had her arms wrapped around herself, she was shivering, and she was staring at me. I wanted to let her in, but I was too busy trying to figure out why she was even HERE.
Right now, it's actually October 18, the time is 2:55 in the morning. The only reason I'm up this late, is because I got out of bed, I climbed on the rail of Rainbow Dash's bed, and now, I'm sitting there, staring at her. How the HELL did she get to earth? I am gonna get some rest right now, while I can.
Day 2, October 18
Today, when I woke up, I felt something a little heavy on my lap. It couldn't be the cat, because this was heavier. It wasn't TOO big, but when I looked down, there was the sleeping Rainbow Dash on my lap. She sat there, but she woke up soon after I saw her there...being her, she just kinda stared at me, then she flipped herself over, and just sat there laying down on my body.
Somewhere around 12:00 Am, it was time to have lunch. So Dahsie and I went into the kitchen, I cooked some top ramen, for us. While we were eating, she got curious, and climbed on top of the cabinet, I was worried she might fall (even though she had wings, and could break her fall), I asked her to please get off, she looked at me, and frowned, got off. I felt bad, so I said come here, and hugged her. She returned with a hug.
So after we were done, we took a pic in the kitchen, and headed back to my room. I had to get some clothes on, so asked her to just hide in the hallway until I was done, I smiled and gently closed the door, got dressed, then I let her back in. Soon, we just derped around a bit. That was good.
I still can't believe I'm friends with a cartoon character. It feels weird. Although Rainbow Dash came into my house, I let her stay, and I might be thinking things are getting weird...things haven't been as weird as right now...I showed Dash what Avenged Sevenfold is.
At first she said she likes rock music, and I said this is a bit more...hardcore than rock. Stupidly, I don't play one of their more "softcore" songs...I played Eternal Rest.
She kind of looked a little nervous, I stopped the song... "Oh...my...GOD." I asked her what she thought about it. She said she had never gotten her blood sugar risen that HIGH before since she did a sonic rainboom at the best flyer's award. I'm not sure what the HELL a sonic rainboom is, but I could always just go on Netflix, and take a peek at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and see. Or I could always just ask a brony.
She asked to hear more. I stopped talking for a minute, I picked up my guitar, and began to set up my amp, and sustainer pedal. She asked what I was doing. I told just to be patient, but I told her in a weird way. I said "Hold on, my child." in a playing matter. She smiled a bit. She understood now, she then sat down patiently. I took a while. She looked BORED out of her mind. I turned on my sustainer, and the amp, plugged in my guitar, and I started playing the riff after the first screaming verse in Eternal Rest.
She perked up, looked at me, and smiled as soon as I struck the 5th chord. She cheered. I felt happy. So I played more, and she liked it. I'm glad. After that, I showed her their new album, Hail to The King, and she agreed that they are ALOT better then were back in the Waking the Fallen days.
So as we listened to it, we payed up against my bed, I could see her start to drift off to sleep, and I was too worried. The only reason I stayed up longer was because I was worried that she might be seen by my parents. What would they do if they saw a cyan pegasus sleeping beside me? I couldn't move because she was already asleep, I couldn't close the door, or hide her. So my only option was to fall asleep.
I woke up to my parents' voice. "What the hell!?" I heard mom say. Rainbow Dash was still asleep by my side. I held a finger over my mouth, and whispered, "She's sleeping." As soon as I Said that, she started pacing, and I could see that she was wondering what was going on. I told her that she is one of the characters from My Little Pony, her name was Rainbow Dash. I also told her that I had no idea what the hell was happening, either. So I told mom just to play it cool when she wakes up, I also told her that she might flip out a bit when she sees you. I told her to also keep it a SECRET, because I don't want her to be taken from me, unless another pony was at the door. Because this would screw up ALOT of things in earth, and ( I looked up facts about MLP so I could tell this story right, I might sound like a brony, but I'm just stating what I think I know about it. ) Unless the princess and twilight come to my door to bring her back to equestria, she will not be taken away.
She woke up soon after I explained everything. The first reaction was a blank stare at my mom, she was obviously confused. I told her what was going on. I told her that mom wasn't going to hurt her. She didn't warm up to right away, it took a little getting-used-to for Dashie to get to know my mom.
After about a half hour, Dash slowly stood up, walked toward mom with her ears and head down, but her eyes were still on my mom. Mom didn’t move. I’m glad she decided to stay still, because Dashie probably would have flew away immediately. Dash layed down beside her, then got comfortable. After this, I crawled over there, and lied down beside Rainbow Dash. Again, we fell asleep beside each other. Before we fell asleep, I heard mom getting my attention with a psst. I look over and she was gesturing a “Cross my heart.” over her chest, and I knew this meant that it was our little secret. I mouthed “Thank you.” She nodded, and walked away, and closed the door.
I woke up a couple hours after we fell asleep. I look down, and there she still is. she is sleeping with her arms and legs stretched out toward my bed, her head is on my lap, and she is sleeping. I smiled, pulled out my iPod, and looked at our pictures together, then I started to think something. (I think...I might be becoming a...brony!).
Author's Note
In the first paragraph, I say I'm not a brony, but I develop the interest as the story progresses
Day 4, October 19
Okay, that’s it, I can’t take it anymore. I am not bothered by Rainbow Dash, I am bothered by the SHOW itself. Look, I know that it would make me look “bad” in front of my friends…*No offence to any of you bronies, I don’t have a problem with you*. The general joy I am getting from my experiences with Rainbow are making my open curiosity for Friendship is Magic even MORE intense than it originally was.
I am about to watch a movie with Dashie, then suddenly she says “Hold on, I’m gonna go to the bathroom.” I’m glad she did, because as she was gone, I was scrolling through the popular shows on Netflix, when it appears…”My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.” I am doing this on my laptop, so if she walks back in, I’ll be able to see her, and scroll away quickly.
I panic, and I want to know what the hell her origin is...she returns, and I ask what movie she wants to see. She is confused, and told me, “Weren’t we JUST scrolling through so we can see what is good? I started to panic again. If I scroll randomly again, it could pop back up again, and she would get really sad.
What she chose confused me, because, when she fell asleep the first night she was here, I did a wiki on her character, and it stated that, in the show, she was more of a pony who like Action, Gore, or anything along the lines of something that got your blood rising…basically, she is pretty much a tomboy.
Instead of choosing Friday the 13th, which she CLEARLY she saw was a serial killer movie, with blood and guts. Instead of choosing something like Red, Die Hard, or something along those lines, (which AGAIN has blood and guts), .INSTEAD of wanting to watch something like Family Guy, Ted, or anything like that...she chose romance… I felt weird.
The article came with a ten minute video, which contained multiple clips, and sound bites of Rainbow Dash, she was a very self-confident, sporty, competitive, happy-go-lucky pony. Instead of being the pony from the show, she was mellow, caring, obedient to almost everyone it seems, and right now...she was staring at me, almost like a dreamy look. She was looking at me with a smile, and I could see a slight redness in her cheeks.
I told her hold on, and I’ll be right back. As I walked out the door, I could hear a slight sigh. I walked to the bathroom, I had my iPod, and I looked up A LOT about her. She apparently according to the internet, was in a relationship with another pegasus, and his name was Soarin’. I was really confused, because if she was with him, then why was she giving me that look.
I knew that there was NO mistake...she liked me. Jesus, I don’t know what to do...do I tell her I’m not into her, do I just accept it. I’m single, but if I wasn’t, I would say as soon as she gave me that look! I’m in the bathroom, wondering what I should do-”Riley, you okay in there?” I can hear her voice. It isn’t like usual, instead it was a really gentle voice. I say yes, and say I’ll be out in a minute, but that I was just thinking about something.
As soon as she left, I began to have certain thoughts...I don’t know, I think I might...like her back. No, I can’t, there is no way that I like a pony. Because if I did, how would I tell a girl if I was told I was liked by a HUMAN. Yeah, just tell her,”Oh, I’m sorry, but I already have a girlfriend, and her name is Rainbow Dash, she is a made up character from a TV show called My Little Pony.”
My mind had made a decision, and my conscience made another. My mind was telling me that I like her, but my conscience told me that it wasn’t a good idea, because it could fuck Equestria and earth up. My mind was winning the battle, and I had to make a decision fast, Dashie was waiting in my room, and if she gets bored enough, she will start to look on Netflix, and might find MLP.
When I finished that thought, the battle between my mind and conscience finished with it...my mind won. I like her… How the HELL would I do this. I knew she liked me, but I have no idea HOW ponies dated back in Equestria. Then, I remembered, that she chose a romance movie, and I’ve seen A LOT of movies where, in the middle of the movie, the couple there would make a move on eachother. I know it’s not the smartest option, but it was my last resort.
Then, I also remembered the My Little Dashie series I listened to, and when Soarin’ made a move on Dash, she was hesitant at first, but soarin’ jumped on her and kissed her. It’s ALSO dangerous, because she may not like it. Although, that seemed about as similar as the way certain couples would start. So I made a final decision, although my conscience was exploding, telling me that it was too risky. I walked out of the bathroom, sure that I was going to do this. I would first have to break the ice a little, so when I walked in, I said, “Let’s watch this movie then, ok?.” with a smile on my face. “Yay!” she said as she smiled, and jumped on my bed.
Just before I let her do anything, I did something a little risky...I asked if there was anyone she was with, she blushed, and said no, that they broke up a month ago. I said I broke up with my girlfriend a year ago. She said oh, kind of blushed a bit, then smiled. Yep, she definitely likes me. But this is a bit scary, because I’m sure that if she WAS the Rainbow Dash from the show, I know she wouldn’t settle for less. I know that she won’t settle for less. Her boyfriend had to be someone who could keep up with her, and she even knows that I am just someone who will stay inside for HOURS-on-end playing video games, or watching videos on YouTube.
I shut my thoughts off, and picked up my laptop, and sat on the carpet. “So, it was romance you wanted to see?” I said. “Yes.” she said with a smile, and the look she gave me before I went into the bathroom. I looked at every movie. Most of them were one of three things, Gay, Lesbian, or Porno. I...don’t want to have sex with a pony. So we were starting to get hopeless, but we chose one out of random. It wasn’t R, it was PG-13, but it still was AGAIN, a last resort.
So, after I said that, mom said no doing anything with her (you know what she means) I looked at her, and said…”Mom, she’s a pony, how is that even possible?” She nodded, and said, “Have fun.” After that, I went back to my room, and we started the movie.
I closed the door quietly, sat down, and sat by Dashie. We watched, or at least she was. I was looking at the screen, but I have no idea what has happened. I’m just waiting for the climax to happen. I whispered in my mom’s ear before the movie started this,”Can I please bring some pop-corn in the room, I won’t make a mess.” They are SUPER protective about food in my room. She said okay. So right now Dash and I are sitting eating pop-corn. I’m waiting for it to happen.
Life was hard for me here at first, I was trying to earn bits (or money as they call it), but all of the jobs here weren’t going to hire a pony. I almost got caught by some people, but I flew away quickly. At last, I reached Riley’s house. I’m glad I did. I don’t know if Twilight will come to take me home, but I love this place too much to leave.
I’m next to my crush, and everyone in his family knows me. They’ve all gotten to know me. I’m glad, I don’t care if something gets messed up, I love this place too much to leave.
-It came, Dash was sitting by me, she was getting antsy, and I could tell I wanted to make a move.
-Okay, this is ridiculous. I’m sitting by Riley, and he won’t even make a move. I want to do it myself but I’m too nervous.
-Okay, that’s it! I’m gonna tell her. But I got to pay attention to something first. I know this the absolute OLDEST trick in the book, but when she goes to reach into the pop-corn, I will go in after her hoove. This is my ABSOLUTE last resort. If this fails, I’m done.
-Maybe I could try something with him, when I go to reach for some pop-corn, maybe he can reach in after me. I know it’s not the best idea, but you gotta start somewhere.
-I saw it, she reached in, now was my chance. So I reached in after her. It worked. Our hand and hoof met, and she looked at me, and I looked at her. We couldn’t look away. Our hand and hoof were still holding. Now was the time.
-After I reached in, I felt his hand. I knew it, he does like me. I was nervous, and I didn’t know what to do. So I knew what to do. So I started to lean.
-It happened before I could notice. We kissed, and we stayed silent for the rest of the movie. Our hoof and hand no longer held.
When it was over we just stood there, not saying anything. Finally I broke the silence,”So...I hope that...um…” That was all I could say before I got on my bed, it was now or never!
-So we kissed. and I just sat by him, we didn’t say a word to each other. Then Riley was clearly trying to break the silence, but he felt just as awkward as I did. He told me that he was going back to school on Monday (before we started the movie, of course).
-“Dash.” I said to her. She stopped, then looked at me. I got out of bed, she was standing in front of me. We just stared for about 3 seconds when I asked…”I really like you...do you want to go out?”
-He stopped me before I could get up, he looked at me for about three seconds, when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I know I have been in a relationship before, but I felt nervous. I had no idea what to say...I told him hold on a second. I made my way to the bathroom again...
I walked in, then I thought (okay, I want to say yes, but it’s so nerve-racking). I know it’s just one word, but it’s hard. I know he did the hardest part just now, but I’m still nervous.
-She left a while after I asked her, and she looked nervous as HELL. I followed her a bit, and peeked out my room, she went in the bathroom again. She was probably in there for 10 minutes, when she got out. She walked in, and said yes.
I instantly smiled, and she smiled. Now, we had to decide where we were going to go. I know some ordinary restaurant wouldn’t easily let some guy with a pegasus in so easily. We were trying to find out a solution. Just then, my friend called me on Skype. I told Dashie to please go behind my laptop, I kissed her, then she hid behind my laptop, lying down on my legs. I answered the call.
-Riley was sitting there with me asking where we should go, but we both agreed that there was no place we could normally go. I love him too much to just say nevermind. Just as we decided to stay home, and just do something alone, his laptop started making noises.
“Shit!” he said. I asked him what was wrong, and he said he was getting a call on skype, he kissed me told me to please go behind his laptop, because his friend might see me. So I said okay, and rested on his legs.
-In the middle of Riley’s talk with his friend, he said, “You know we could trust each other.” I knew what he was going to do, he was going to tell him about me. I just looked at him, trying to get him to keep it secret. He then said, “Hold on, I’ll be right back.”
-After I told him that, he said okay, I took off my headset, muted the mic, and turned off the camera. The first thing Dash did was ask me what I was DOING.
-I wanted to say no as I layed back down on his legs. I hope that Riley was saying is true, because I trust him already, and I’ve only known him for 4 days. I just let it happen.
-I put my headset back on, unmuted the mic, and turned the video feed back on. “Look, I know you think I’m someone who is really open about himself, but I need you to keep a HUGE secret. It would hurt me so bad if you told anyone!” He said okay, I looked at Dashie, who was nervous as HELL, and I told her to please come. She came slowly, and sat beside me.
“Riley?” He said as he was in his bed, as usual, I just gave him a serious look as he continued to try and tell me that what was happening was FAKE, and that the Rainbow Dash next to me was photoshopped. He finally asked Rainbow Dash to do certain actions. He finally asked her to do something REALLY vulgar, but I quickly returned in the line of sight of the camera, and centered on myself, “LOOK! She is real, okay. We are dating, and we need somewhere to go. The point is, will you let me come over, and let us have our first date there?”
He looked surprised, then smirked a bit, then said, “How will you get her in?” I said she is a pegasus, She could hover off the ground, and I could distract his mom at the front door. While he could let Dashie in through the back door, I could stall.
-He chuckled a bit, then went to see if I could.
We agreed, and I was going back to my room, when she told what I hoped she wouldn’t. “Have fun with your new girlfriend.” Everyone was asleep at this time, Dashie, mom, and I were the only ones awake, so I’m glad for that. My step brother was not with us at the time, so she didn’t hear me ask Dash out. I turned around, she was smiling at me. She wasn't mad at me.
“How did you know?” I asked. She said she heard me ask her out in my room. I smiled and said I will. I went in my room to tell Dashie the news, and there she sat, sitting down on the ground. I told her. She was really happy. We didn’t sleep separate, and we didn’t um…(you know). But, we did sleep in the same bed *PERVE* , but we just stayed up until 12:00, then we dozed off.
-I had sat by Riley when he told his friend that he needed somewhere to be for his first date with me. His friend, (I’ll call him 1, just because) 1 said we could. He told me the plan, I said okay, then he went to go check his schedule. He was gone for 3 minutes. He finally came in and said we were going. I felt so happy that I was going on my first date with Riley. I said yay. We didn’t sleep in the same place we usually do, we slept together tonight, because the excitement got us so tired, that we just lied down on the bed, and fell right asleep (LUL).
We fell asleep after about 3 minutes, we just talked about what we were going to do tomorrow, he wasn’t sure, but he said we would find out. We were tired, so we were just smiling at each other, then we finally had fallen asleep in each other’s arms.
-I was just going on Team Fortress 2 today, when I decided to call Riley. I was just bored, so I called him. He took a while, but finally answered my call. He looked tired, and he looked a bit worried.
He didn’t come back until about 5 minutes later. He was in the camera again, and he was showing me something I wanted to laugh at. But, thank god I didn’t. He said come here, please, and sure enough, a rainbow colored cyan pony stepped in beside my best-friend. This character (from what I think) is called “Rainbow Dash” from My Little Pony stepped into view. I wanted to laugh, but I just gave him a look that showed that I wasn’t buying it. He gave me a look he only gives when he’s serious. I still didn’t buy it.
There was no way that Rainbow Dash was there. So I asked him to step out of view, and I asked her to do certain things. She did everything, and I was considering this to be real. I thought for a minute, then I asked her to get naked.
He told me his plan, and it was legit. I would be able to see the Rainbow Dash that isn’t there. But the only reason I did say that he could (after my schedule had NOTHING on it), was because I wanted him over to hang out. He hung up. I was thinking for once, I need to tell my mom that 1. we needed to be alone (she is SUPER nosey), and 2. that I needed to ask her if we could eat in my room alone as well.
I asked her right now to save time, she said yes to both, and I THANKED her. She asked why, and I said, “Because we don’t ever get to do this, and it would mean the WORLD to me if you could let me.” So she said okay. I went back on my laptop, and played Team Fortress 2, I fell asleep playing.
Author's Note
This is Chapter 2 of my fan-fic (note that I was briefly searching on the internet when I saw Dash X Soarin', so that's why I included the realtionship
Day 5, October 20
-I couldn’t WAIT for my date with Dash tonight. We were so excited, we could scream, but that would get A LOT of attention, so we just passed time, and had a good time. It came time to go, we were all ready to go.
-I woke up an hour after Riley did, he looked really excited, as was I. I couldn’t wait to go. We talked, and passed the time by. I’m glad Celestia never came for me, or I would be REALLY sad.
Time seemed to go by forever, but we had to get ready just then.
After we were done, he came out in a nice looking clothes, he said that 1’s mom would get suspicious if she saw him in a tux, because he always comes in his street clothes. He said I looked beautiful. I thanked him, and we were about to leave, when his little brother walked in, and asked him what was happening. Thank you, i thought as he told his brother that he would tell him after we got back.
-As we were driving over, Dashie stayed in the car for most of the car ride. We sat next to each other, my hand holding her hoof, as we went over to 1’s (house). When we got out, I told her to stay low, and go behind his house, and to meet him at the back door.
She did so, and I knocked on the door. I heard something REALLY familiar…”****!” (That was supposed to be the dog’s name, but it is cencored) BARK! I could hear 1’s dog barking. His mom opened the door, and I said hi, and tried to keep her distracted her as much as possible as I saw 1 take Dashie back into his room. I said thank you for having me, then went back to 1’s room.
-As soon as Riley told me to go behind the house, I nodded, then stayed low, flying to stay off the ground, I heard knocking, and barking, and I knew 1 would be there any minute. I found the door, and stood by it. I waited for a bit, then 1 stepped into view.
He at first looked at me with wide eyes, then calmed himself down. He opened the door enough for me to fit through, I walked in, and he whispered, “Come with me, please.” I came with him to his room. When he closed the door, he started to look panicked, he was saying things under his breath. I could tell he was confused, and was wondering why I was even HERE.
-Okay, let me say right now...I will go to the back door when I hear Riley come to the door, just for his sake, but I will NOT believe it until I see it. So when Riley’s mom pulled up, I went to the back door.
-After I passed by 1’s mom to see my best friend, and my girlfriend, I jumped with joy a bit. I got in, and saw Dashie trying to comfort him. He immediately got up and started to say things in a panicked voice. He told me he thought I was joking. I told him when I give you the look I did on Skype, or yell at him like that, it meant I wasn’t joking, and I did both.
I accepted whatever was coming, and lucky enough for us, I just told myself to deny, deny, deny. Back to the present! After we said goodbye to Riley, I went out through the front door. Dashie went through the back door, and we met at the side of the house. The only thing that confused me was something in her hand. It was a potion. I don’t know much about potions, but I know that a character in MLP, called Twilight makes them.
Then I saw my mom pull up in her car. We got down as soon as that happened, and we went back home.
Day 6, October 21
School started up again, so I will not be able to say anything much.
Day 17, October 31
I know it's been a long time since I've written, but Dashie is still here, strangely enough, Twilight sent her a scroll, saying that she has been closely watching. She sees that Dash is happy here.
So this is just an update. We aren't even doing anything. We are just sitting on the couch watching Netflix movies, and also waiting for Halloween. Although Dash can't obviously go, I have two costumes so that, if I have time, which I will make, I will go in my regular costume the first. Then after I have gone to every house, I will grab another bag. I will put on the other costume, and trick or treat again. The reason I'm doing this is because Dash needs something out of this, too.
Also, the only other people that know about Dash are my gaming group. I will call it, "GameGroup" for now. Me, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I was thinking about letting my friend Taylor join us, but I need the confirmation from the others (there's no way they will say no, because he is an MLG).
Anyway, back to Dash and I! I am (for the first run) Jason Vorhees, and (for the second run) Freddy Kreuger. Dash said, for the after party we are having to make her feel happy, and a part of our Halloween, she said for that party, she would be A7X's lead guitarist, Synyster Gates. She has REALLY gotten to love Avenged Sevenfold. She even realized that my shirts would fit her, so I gave her one of my Avenged Sevenfold shirts.
She is happy, even though she can't wear it publicly. So it’s good that she is still happy. Got to stop here for now, gotta do homework right now.
OKAY! I got the assignment done, and we finished both of the runs for me and Dashie. I love her too much to not let her get nothing out of this. We ate candy for a while before the Halloween party. Not only did GameGroup come, but the other ponies from the mane 6 from My Little Pony came too! I guess Pinkie heard about the party, and she told her friends.
We celebrated Dash's first Halloween with us, and I even surprised the ponies with a performance on my guitar. And Jesus, I think I may have scared most of them REALLY bad. I also made sure the volume wasn't too loud, so that I didn't scare the crap out of Fluttershy.
I played Beast and The Harlot, Shepherd of Fire, and Nightmare on guitar. Only, with no music. I think I did okay, because Dash has heard those songs before, and was looking like she was approving. I couldn't tell what the rest were thinking. Twilight looked like she wasn’t a rock fan. Rarity looked around the house, and in my room, obviously wanting to stop the party, and rearrange everything. Applejack looked like she was just bored. Pinkie was too busy enjoying the party itself, and Fluttershy was hiding behind the couch.
She got out after the first song was over, but she looked a bit shaken up. Dash looked like she loved every part of my performance. GameGroup looked like they expected my performance.
-So, I am really great full of Riley to put this party on for me, and get me a share of Halloween candy. I thanked him, and he hugged me, and said, “You don't deserve to be left out because you are different, you deserve it. Although I DO wish you could come with us, I will gladly do this for you."
I felt really good from this. He was going to trick or treat twice, and throw a party in one night...for me. I feel like it's too much, but he told me it isn’t. After this, he said he had to do some homework, and I jokingly told him, "You are starting to sound a bit like Twilight." He playfully mocked her a bit. We laughed, and he went to work. He looked REALLY stressed out, and I needed to comfort him.
I did just that, and it worked. He was sweating a bit, and he was typing really fast on his computer. I went over to him, and gave him a good hug, and he returned it.
We sat there for a while, until he realized the work wasn’t getting itself done.
So after he did stop, we didn't pull away fast, but we just stopped. I sat by him. he didn't complete his assignment. He did say he was going to ask Twilight for help.
I doubt she is going to help him on the history of the Paleo Indians. He said it was worth a shot. Later, they went to the village, and Riley lent me his iPod. The reason he did this was because he had an app on there that could let you text phones, and he said he was gonna be gone for a LONG time, at least 4 hours. So he also said I needed to entertain myself, too. When they left, I watched TV shows like Family Guy, and Tosh.O on Netflix. It’s all Riley and I ever watch at all, so I wanted to watch something different.
I was scrolling randomly, when I went across something weird... It was a children's TV show. The only thing that confused me was the fact that...my 5 friends from Equestria and I were on the cover... The show was called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".
I got worried, because I have never been on a TV show, or movie before. I just decided to calm down, and ask about it when he got back. I watched something called Child's Play 2, because it was under the "Halloween Movies" category. Sure enough, it was scary. It was about a doll that went around killing people. It wasn't enough to scare me, of course. I actually thought it was pretty awesome, considering it was so bloody.
I was bored, and was missing Riley when he was gone. But I wouldn't go out to look for him. Besides, I can't take a risk like that.
Good thing I waited, because his family came back.
Finally, he got home! Covered in sweat, he looked kind of cold, but I don’t see how he couldn’t be, he was gone for a good 4 hours. He was holding two big sacks in one hand, and had his arm wrapped around a costume. I grabbed a blanket from the hall closet, and gave it to him as I set the two sacks on the kitchen table. He wrapped himself about halfway, when he stopped, took it off, and took the sacks to his room. He came back, got the blanket, and asked me to come back with him to his room with a smile.
I came, and we walked into his room. He looked REALLY tired, but sat down by one of the sacks, and I sat down by him.
Before we did anything, we gave a good minute or so, then I thanked him. We opened up the sacks, and ate a little. He looked like he was about to doze off, but the noise of somepony stepping through the Equestrian Portal startled him awake.
It was my 5 friends. I got up, and greeted. Everypony said hi, except for Pinkie, who jumped on me, and wrestled a bit. We all laughed, except for Riley, who smiled. He was too tired to do anything at all.
He wasn't hyper or tired, but he was himself again. I was glad to see that. He thanked her, and whispered in her ear, she looked at him...confused. He said he was having trouble with his work. She just said she will try her best to help him, but all of her books were back in equestria, and that he needed to come to ponyville with them for a short time so that she could help him.
He thanked her, and walked off. We were JUST getting into the living room, when Pinkie bursted in the room, and exclaimed something that scared the entire population of the family, the other 5, Riley, and myself.
When the party was set up, we realized how good of a job Pinkie did. She put up toy skeletons on the piano, red and black streamers across the roof in the corners, and other Halloween themed things everywhere else. All of Riley’s family looked really surprised, and impressed. The ponies expected that.
So we had invited GameGroup over. They stepped into the door, one-by-one. And one-by-one, this is what they said, “Hey Riley, hi Rainbow. Glad I could co….” as they walked in, they all were stopped, because they were surprised by the 5 ponies standing by Riley and I.
Their mouths immediately dropped, and they looked really surprised. I could see Riley start to give off signs that said, “okay, that’s hilarious.” because he wanted to laugh, but held it. I couldn’t help but smile myself, but soon I found myself laughing on the ground with Riley.
We got up, and GameGroup wanted to see the 5 ponies, me, and Riley in his parents’ room, which was big enough for all of us to fit in. We all followed Riley, as he guided us to the room. After one of GG’s members shut the door, 1, 2, and 3 were FLIPPING OUT on Riley, saying things to him in a panicked whisper. The many whispers made the noise sound as loud as regular talking! Riley shut them up, and told them that they came because I originally came from the other ponies’ world. He said I ended up here. He then walked over to me, and said, “Best thing that’s ever happened to me.” I smiled, and said it was the best thing that happened to me, too.
We didn’t do anything after that, because all of our friends were right there watching us. I know GameGroup know we are dating, but I don’t think that MY friends knew yet. If they didn’t, they know now, because Twilight was grinning a bit, Pinkie was ready to jump in the air, Fluttershy blushed a bit, Applejack took off her hat, and Rarity looked...just astonished. They pulled him aside.
I followed until I reached the end of the door frame. They were asking him questions about our relationship, he just told most of the story, and they accepted it.
I walked out, and just before I could say anything, I remembered My Little Pony. I probably stood there for a good five seconds, thinking about it only seemed like one second to me.
I came out of deep thought, and the first thing I saw was Riley, looking worried. He was saying, “Is she okay?” I said yes, and he told me that I passed out as soon as I opened the door. He also said I wouldn’t wake up. He ran to the garage, got a bottled water, and handed it to me. I drank it, then we went back into the living room, and had the party.
I explained that I was talking about my friends, and he got it. He said he didn’t really care. Later, he set up his guitar, amp, and pedal. He played Shepherd of Fire, Beast and the Harlot, and Nightmare. I loved it, and knew he was doing good.
I smiled, and sat back, and enjoyed it while the rest looked like they were trying to listen, but were also trying hard not to jump behind the couch...Oh wait, Fluttershy had just done that during the first song.
-So, before the party started, the 5 ponies, GameGroup, Dashie, and I were in my parents’ room, talking about why the 5 ponies were here.
I tried to tell them that they came because Dash originally came from their world “Equestria”, and that the 5 ponies were all Rainbow Dash’s friends. They came off, and all said okay. I walked over to Dash, and thought aloud, “Best thing that happened to me.” She smiled, then said the same thing back.
As I said that, I was going to start to lean towards her. The look on her face prevented me from doing that. She was trying to make it as clear as possible that her friends did not know about our relationship, but the looks on all of their faces were saying they all knew know.
3 of them beginning to blush a bit, Twilight, and Fluttershy both looked down, and smiled, Applejack took off her hat, and grinned a bit, but Rarity look a bit displeased. They took me out of the room. They left Dash and GameGroup back in the room.
The first thing I was asked was by Twilight, “Are you her...um..you know...” I said yes, then the rest of the questions piled on me. I can’t remember ANY of their questions because there were so many voices.
I told them to please stand back. I could see the ponies getting worried about what I was going to do, but GameGroups’ expressions told me that they knew I would do the right thing.
The only thing I did, was kept her in my arms, and thought of a solution. I sat there with her in my arms, until I started to panic. I didn’t notice her wake up, but I asked if any of the ponies thought she was alright.
I set her head on top of it gently, then ran to get a bottled water. I ran back to where Dash had been laying, her eyes were half open, and her color was a lot lighter than it originally was. She came to me as a light blue pony, now she looked like a hazure colored pony.
She turned pale while she was out cold in my arms. I handed her the bottle, after I unscrewed the lid. She then drank it, got back up, and was back to normal.
After the party was over, Twilight brought me back to ponyville to help me finish my homework. We took a while to complete it. She was just as confused as I was, but we pulled through in the end. I thanked her, shook her hoof, then went back through the portal.
Just then, I saw a serious look in Dash’s face. The first thing I thought was, “Oh no…”
I threw up, and she could see I knew what I was talking about, but she looked a bit worried. I was SO nervous, that it immediately came up. It was weird, because Dashie and I only had 3 Starburst, a Hershey’s and some Skittles. That was ALL we ate before and during the party, so I don’t see how that’s possible.
I cleaned everything up, looked at her, and said I was VERY sorry for that. “The question got me REALLY worked up.” She gave me a look like she understood completely, and forgave me.
The look showed that she wanted me to go on. I was hesitant at first, but as I saw that Dashie wasn’t mad, I was perfectly clear on explaining. She looked accepting...but a bit shocked. We went back to my room and we both lied down in bed. Me, because I was a bit sick, and Dashie, because she didn’t want to leave me alone.
We both fell asleep in my bed. I’m glad that this whole My Little Pony thing is over. I don’t want to stop here about my relationship with Dash. I want to continue it. So i will stop here, but I will continue tomorrow.
Author's Note
It's time for Halloween, and I have a Rainbow Dash Halloween
Day 15, November 1
Today had to be the most tragic day Dash and I have ever spent together, and I regret EVER bringing the subject up. I was just curious, and I needed answers. I couldn't go to school today because I found out I got a flu that was spreading throughout Equestria, and I guess could only be caught in its source. Ponyville.
Twilight came through the portal, and told me so. She said it was her fault I caught it. I said it's no big deal, and that I've caught a flu A LOT worse than the one I have now. At that time, I was sore, nauseous, tired, got headaches, and kept waking up in the middle of the night. With the amount of moaning I was producing, my mom thought my appendix was about to burst, I wasn't even sure if it WAS going to or not.
I was only sick for two days. ( ironically ) The first day I found out, I was playing minecraft (I was playing minecraft when I met Dahsie). The second day, I was feeling better, although time did pass by slowly, mom came home. We watched Ted by Seth MacFarlane. Seth rocks, by the way. I went back in my room, and felt a lot better after I watch Tobuscus play Happy Wheels, and went back to school the next day. (That entire thing about my flu was not a lie, that shit HURT!)
Surprisingly, the district office fell for it. That's good, and bad for me. Good overall, because I get to stay home with my girlfriend, Dashie. Bad slightly, because if I'm gone for too long, people might CROWD me with questions about the sickness. I don't care if I get showered in questions. I'm used to it because I’m used to getting tackled (metaphorically speaking) when someone sees my Beats Studio headphones anyway. It’s just, if I answer wrong, then they might get suspicious, and if they find out about Dash, I will have to exile to Ponyville with Dash.
Anyway, Twilight also told me that she is not sure how bad the flu is, and that Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Pinkie are also sick. My mom said she could stay home from work, and take care of us while Twilight studies it. She did, and the 4 ponies looked a little sick, but it didn't look too bad.
Fluttershy said hi to me as she walked in, but she was more quiet than usual, because she was having the same symptoms as I was. She couldn't get too overwhelmed, or talk too loud or she would instantly get nauseous, and vomit. Just like I did last night.
I don't know much about her, but I know she is pretty quiet as it is. So when she said hi, I couldn't really hear her even SPEAK at first, but I understood soon after. I said hi in a quiet voice too. She then slowly flew to the living room. I began to get up, but Dash didn't let me do so. She gently grabbed my arm, and said I needed to rest.
Okay, I'm sorry, but I looked up a montage of Rainbow Dash moments from season 1, and just by seeing THAT, I am worried that I may have changed her personality ENTIRELY.
Okay back to sickness. When Applejack stepped in, she had been moaning a bit, she wasn't nauseous like Fluttershy, and I. When I asked Twilight what was wrong with Applejack, she said she asked AJ, but the only response she got was, "Mah stomach hurts." So I assume she is having stomachaches. I said hi softly to Applejack, and she said in a whisper "Howdy."
She walked off, moaning a bit as she got out. When Pinkie walked in, she wasn't in a cheery mood like she usually always was, but she still was smiling. I’m glad the pink pony wasn’t frowning, or in pain. She was nauseous like Fluttershy, and I, though.
I said hi quietly, and she came over and gave me a gentle, and subtle hug. She said hi, but it was quiet. She was gonna start to skip off, but she soon remembered she was sick. She then walked off slowly. When Rarity stepped in, I think she may have been sore, and had stomach aches, because, when I looked over, she was limping slightly, and was softly moaning.
She probably had it the worst. She said hello to me, and I said hi back softly. Then she slowly walked off. Twilight followed, and said that she wasn't sure, but she said she thinks Dashie had it too. Dash was told to hold out her arm, she did, and Twilight quickly took a blood sample.
Dash jumped a bit, and quickly recovered. I would jump too if I saw something sharp enter my arm unexpectedly.
Dashie got happy, and said she would take care of me, Fluttershy, and Pinkie, while Mom said she would take care of Applejack, and Rarity. So I was carried by Dash out to the living room. I told her thanks, but I can move just fine, but she said I needed to rest. Mom said, "I hope you all feel better, and thank you, Rainbow, for taking care of Riley."
I know Dash has been living with us for only a half a month now, but I consider her part of our family. Dash said your welcome, and immediately knew what to do. I noticed that Fluttershy was sitting alone on the island couch, while pinkie and I were sitting together on the V-couch, so I said, "Sorry, Dashie”, as I got up when Dash was gone. I moved the island couch over by where Pinkie and I were supposed to be, to where none of us were isolated.
Dashie got mad at me for trying to work when I was sick. I was going to say that the couch wasn't even heavy, but the last time I talked back, that resulted in a small argument with my ex-girlfriend when we were still dating. We broke up after the fight, I was sad, and so was she, but we both recovered quickly. I regret it, and don’t regret it at the same time. Although I’m with somepony else, and I don’t talk to her anymore, I’m still sorry I snapped.
Being with Dash, I love her too much to lose her...ever. So I shut my mouth, but said sorry. She then smiled at me, leaned over the couch, then hugged me gently.
I returned it. And she went to cook something. I heard her grab something out of the cupboard, and I knew she saw the Top Ramen, which she saw me cook for her a lot.
I know I make us sound like we’re seven years-old, but I have no IDEA what they use to cook with in Equestria, and I don’t want her to be the one who will NOT survive, if that thing were to explode. If she did ANYTHING wrong, and the stove exploded, she would die on impact!
She knew she had to use the stove, so I immediately got out of bed to help her. I saw the looks on Fluttershy's and Pinkie's faces, and they were NOT usually faces they made, Fluttershy was getting a bit worried, and so was Pinkie. Fluttershy and Pinkie were giving me looks that said, "You do it, you die."
I've known my girlfriend for a half a month now, and I have NO idea what she does when she tells someone to do something , and they don’t do it, but I hope that my defiance doesn’t end our relationship.
I simply walked over into the door frame of the kitchen, and saw Dashie sitting there looking at the instructions looking confused. I don't care if she gets mad, I am going to help her use the stove. If she uses it wrong, it could explode, and I don't want her to get hurt. I tell her I'm gonna help her.
She at first says she has got it under control, but I say, "I don't care if the time of my illness extends, but I would never forgive myself if you accidentally made a mistake, and hurt yourself. I love you too much for you to get hurt trying to help me." I felt a wetness in my eyes, I was tearing up a bit. The thought of losing her is not imaginable. I needed to make her feel good, and comfortable, because that wetness told me that she was deciding amongst herself if she wanted to risk her life cooking for us, or let me do it, and let me get even more ill than I originally am.
So I simply just comforted her, kissed her, then said I can teach her how to do it. She said okay, but once I was done, she wanted me back on the couch. I said okay, and taught her how to do it completely, and after I lied back down, I crossed my fingers, and prayed to god that she wouldn't hurt herself doing it.
After she was done, she individually brought us to the kitchen table. Everything was nicely prepared. We were seated, I thanked her for doing this, she then sat down on the recliner. When I listened to Mic the Microphone read "My Little Dashie", he said that she couldn't cook at ALL , but then again, that was just a fan-fic.
So I took a spoonful of the stuff. I felt...amazing, this was the best thing I've ever tasted. I almost wanted to go over there and compliment her, but she was too busy trying to make sure we don't get more sick then we already are.
So I just kept eating, and I know this is weird but, it almost want to just stand up and jump for joy, just like Pinkie did before she got sick! I was too sick, so I continued to eat up, and I finished really quickly. Fluttershy, and Pinkie were only half-way done, when I swear I saw the reflection of myself in my bowl.
I walked over to Dash, who was sitting there, smiling as I came over. She was prepared for anything I had to say, but I simply said, "That was the most delicious meal I have ever eaten." She thanked me, hugged me, and I lied down on the couch. Pinkie, and Fluttershy thanked Dash, and they lied down with me.
Soon, I was starting to remember Applejack, and Rarity were in my room, and mom only came out a couple of times. She brought back some soup for them, and she came out with empty bowls. I was wondering how they were doing in there, when I asked Dashie, "Hey, how's Rarity, and AJ doing in there?"
She shrugged, and said she would go see. Dash went back there to check on them after that. One thing I want to know about Dash is...well, I took a quick peek at the show MLP, and the episode I watched showed Twilight, trying to go to a magic school. The only thing that confused me was the fact that Twilight had parents. I wonder who Dash's parents are. She has not even TALKED about her mom or dad, so I might want to ask the others first, before I bring that up. I'm not sure if it is a good idea, though. What if they're somewhere horrible...or worse. I won't talk about it...
I leaned over to Fluttershy, who was bored out of her mind, and asked, "Sorry to ask, Fluttershy, but in back in Equestria, do you ponies have parents?" She laughed a bit at this. How the hell would they even be BORN? She said, "Oh, yes, we do have moms and dads. Most of us ponies know their parents." I got a bit tense when I heard the word "Most". I wanted to ask, but I feel like she was gonna say something bad happened to Dashie's parents. "What do you mean...most?" I asked her in an emotionless quiet way. She was getting nervous at this thought. She was starting to tear up, but I told her to calm down. She understood, and settled down.
"I said most, because there are a group of ponies in Ponyville don't know what happened to their parents. I don't know if you want to know who 3 of the ponies I know are, but-" I feel bad for budding in like this, but I was getting worried, and I don't want to vomit. So, without thinking, "I...do want to know who they are...please tell me."
-I got really upset with Riley when he had moved the couch, I didn't want him to get hurt. Then I got more upset when he asked to help me cook, I know I had no idea what I was doing, but I didn't want to let Riley work when he was sick, but when he told me that he was willing to cook for us, even if it meant getting REALLY ill, I knew then, that he loved me. I am very happy that he would make that sacrifice for me. Even if it is a small deed, I still love him. Although I was upset when he moved the couch, and although I was even MORE upset when he was trying to risk getting better so that I don't get hurt, as I stood against the wall, I teared up a bit as Fluttershy listed names...
-As Fluttershy said that I wasn't sure if I wanted to hear the names of the ponies that didn't know their parents, I still wanted to know about Dash's. So Fluttershy said, "Okay, I'm going to do this, but I’m not comfortable telling you... Derpy Hooves, she is a pony who likes to be funny for the town, but sometimes isn't respected all the time." I sighed a bit, but she hasn't completed her list, so I was still worried. She continues…,”...Spitfire, she is the captain of the wonderbolts." I could see she was starting to stay calm, but she was losing it quickly.
"I don't want you to know who the last pony is." I didn't get mad, instead I simply gave her a friendly smile, and said, "I'm prepared for anything." That was the truth, I was ready for the words "Rainbow Dash" leave her mouth, which I KNOW she wouldn't say, it HAD to be Fluttershy who would say her own name. She was simply just too shy to tell me. She then said okay...then she said the last pony's name. She started to cry "Rainbow Dash..." She said, as I felt a chill go down my spine, it shot back out, and I could feel a tear run down my face. She told me she didn't want to tell me, and I didn't listen...and that's my fault.
-I'm not mad at Riley, or Fluttershy for saying my name, because it is true. I remember only being in an orphanage, and then a really nice colt took me home. It was funny, because he DID look like me, but he wasn’t my dad. I grew up with him, but they disappeared without notice.
I tried to keep myself from sobbing, and I won it over, at least for the most part. I never heard the walking coming toward me, until I saw Riley's feet in front of me. I slowly looked up, and he had been crying a bit, too.
He knew I was in pain, but he didn't want to make a scene. So, he took me into the bathroom, and he locked the door. We sat down against the cabinet under the sink, trying hard to hold back tears. It was REALLY hard.
-As soon as Fluttershy told me Dash was raised about a quarter of her life in an orphanage, I was about to start crying hard but only tears ran out. As I used all of my effort to hold them back, I went to go into the bathroom to calm down before Dash came into the living room. I guess she had heard our entire conversation, because she was sitting against the bathroom door. Her body was facing my way. When I found her, she had her face in her hooves, she was leaning on her left against the wall next to the bathroom door, and I could hear her crying a little. She was silent, and still, until she saw my feet.
She slowly looked up. Her face was wet with tears, and she saw me in the same condition. I'm just saying that I'm glad Pinkie was asleep, or she probably would have went and told mom, who was asleep. Thank god.
We didn't say anything. I was ready to cry, but I held it in. We were both able to hold it in, until five seconds after we looked at each other. Trying to break the silence. We collapsed into each other's arms and cried, softly sobbing to ourselves. We probably did this for a good half hour, about 5 minutes in, I apologized for not knowing earlier, and she said that she was sorry she didn't tell me earlier. I know I don't usually cry, but Fluttershy was telling me that it was a bad idea to let her tell me, but I didn't listen.
And now because of my stubbornness, we're both in pain. She isn't to blame for this. I am to blame. She was probably really mad at me for even bringing it up. I know that Fluttershy, Dash, and I are the only ones awake, but I just really hope Twilight doesn't come now, and see us like this. I don't want her to walk by the bathroom, and hear our crying, because we were in there for a long time.
When we were done crying, I knew what she needed, so I put her closer to me, then, held her in my arms. I wanted her to know she has my love, and support though her darkest days. We then cried a bit after I held her, but then, "Hello? Rainbow Dash? Riley? You okay in there? I hear sobbing."
It was Twilight. We didn't hear her, for we were too focused on each other to give a care about who came to the door. The only bad thing was I thought I locked the door, but I soon realized that it wasn't when Twilight stepped into my view, but not Dashie's. Twilight heard Dash crying, but I stopped and told her what happened, she started to tear-up a bit. But soon left again. And we continued to sit and cry for another good half-hour. We soon stopped again, and washed our faces off, took deep breaths, then, went outside.
We went outside, there sat Twilight. She looked a bit damp on her face, too, but she calmed down three hundred times faster than Dash and I were able to. She told us the results, and we sighed with relief.
We both fell into each others arms, and cried. We sat, and softly sobbed to ourselves. Everypony and his mom, but Fluttershy were asleep. I'm glad she was the only one who knew.
After a half-hour we stopped crying for a few minutes, when he grabbed me, then pulled me closer to him. He held me in his arms. It felt good that I was here. Shortly after this, we cried again. We probably cried for another half-hour.
-I stood by Dashie as we were told the name of the flu, the symptoms, and how long it took until I would get better. The flu was called, "Attenuate Flu", the symptoms were in certain cases nausea, weakness, cramp, soreness, aches, and insomnia. It would last for two weeks. We both knew this would mean better bonding time between Dashie and I.
I still love you, and I hope you can accept who I am. I don’t care if anyone or anypony else says, “We can’t date, because we are different.” No, fuck them! They don’t know left from right. Their cup will always be half empty with us. In my eyes, my cup will always be not half empty, or half full. It will always be full, but not without you.
Day 20, November 6
-I am halfway through taking care of Riley, Fluttershy, and Pinkie. It has been a week since Riley found out about my parents. I don’t know where they are. I’ve been told that they are drug-addicts, but I don’t believe a word anyone says.
“So I gotta get to bed, so I can recover from both my sickness… and Dash’s horrible past. I know she won’t read these, but if you are reading this, Dash… I’m sorry I can’t always be the perfect boyfriend...I don’t care if anyone or anypony else says, “We can’t date, because we are different.” No, fuck them! They don’t know left from right. Their cup will always be half empty with us. In my eyes, my cup will always be not half empty, or half full. It will always be full, but not without you. Thank you, for bringing me the joy that I’ve needed for years now. I love you so dearly.”
After reading this, I realized that he would make the greatest of sacrifices for me. The only other thing that worries me is his school work. I am NOT trying to sound like his mom, but he has been holding off assignments to spend more time with me, even when I DO tell him to get to his work, he refuses. He says, “I am too busy for us to be able to have a good association, and I don’t want this relationship to stop.”
I try to persuade him, but he wins EVERY TIME! I am still trying to think of a solution, but it’s going to be hard… there IS a stupid crazy idea that sits at the back of my mind, but I know it’s not POSSIBLE...but it’s worth a shot.
-I was sleeping for a really long time before Dashie woke me up. I wasn’t mad, because I felt better than I originally felt earlier. I was having nausea that was so bad, I had to keep a bottle of medicine by me, five trash cans, and ten water bottles. The same was NOT happening to Fluttershy, or Pinkie (a surprise, considering she eats so many god damn cupcakes. JK, your frikkin’ awesome, Pinkie)
It sucked, because it felt like a steel blade was puncturing my lungs, and stomach. I could hardly breath, because I had almost no time to. I was vomiting so rapidly, and I had to eat, so I could vomit back up, or I would probably start puking up stomach acids soon.
I fell asleep with Dashie in front of me. She had been crying, because she thought I was going to die. I am fine, though, so that was a relief. She woke me up, asked me how I felt, looking worried. I told her fine, and she hugged me tight, saying she thought I was going to die, and that she got really worried.
I returned it, and asked what she wanted to ask me. She told me about the machine that would turn her from human to pony, and pony to human on command. I was about to scream YES. But I realized that there are a lot of mean people at the school, and at P.E. they didn’t let you take anything in your pocket.
So if she had her locker hacked into, it would be gone, and then she would be human forever. Also, if she was holding it in class, the teacher might take it, wonder what it is, push a button and turn her into a pony, then reveal all of our secrets.
I knew it was a HUGE risk, but I said it was a brilliant idea. She was so happy. I can’t believe what I just did, instead of saying no, so that she could stay here, and be safe, and not taken from me. I said yes, and risked so much for her, and the other MILLIONS of ponies in Equestria.
I was starting to have second thoughts, but I knew she wouldn’t screw up at all, she was too smart for that to happen. We snuck into the portal while mom was asleep. There was NO WAY she was going to let me go to Ponyville when there is a flu spreading THAT QUICKLY. We went over to Twilight’s house, lightly knocked the door, and Twilight’s “assistant”, Spike opened the door.
I asked where Twilight was. He said she was upstairs. She came down, and asked why I was here, and said that the flu was still spreading.
I said I didn’t care, and that I came on behalf of Dashie. Dash told Twilight about the problem she was having, and Twilight went into deep thought, and after 5 seconds, she said she will have it done in 5 hours. Damn! I know she is really intelligent, but the fact that she can make a machine that turns you from a pony to a full-on human in just 5 hours...just, damn…
We said thanks, then returned home.
We waited for about 5 hours on my bed, when Twilight came through the portal with a smile on her face, it meant she had good news. I knew that face meant only good news. She held out a small remote with two buttons on it. The right button had a silhouette of a pony, and the left button had the silhouette of a human.
In her hoove holding the machine, sat a needle with a black liquid. She said that if the needle is injected, then the machine will only work on the pony or person it is injected into. Just as she said that, I did something that I could tell irritated Twilight. I heard the word person, and a light bulb flashed in my head. I said, “I’m REALLY sorry, but...can...I have one”. Twilight didn’t look irritated, but she asked my if I wanted to be an earth pony, a unicorn, or a pegasus. I knew I didn’t want to be an earth pony, but I was having trouble deciding whether or not I wanted to fly or not. I told her pegasus.
I said this, because I wanted to be able to fly with Dash. Dashie looked at me like it wasn’t a bad idea. Twilight injected Dashie with the black liquid, and told dash to push the human button. She did, and Dash was glowing, and turned into a human. She didn’t have clothes, but I did keep eye contact with her.
She realized it, then instantly pushed the pony button instantly. She looked really embarrassed, but I told her that it was okay, because we have to dress-out in front of other guys in the locker room anyway. She looked a bit nervous. I remember two years ago when I was nervous AS HELL about it, but I gave in to it after the second day. I told her it’s a weird feeling at first, but it isn’t that bad when you get used to it. She sighed with relief at this.
Twilight left, and came back in 5 hours. She had another machine, but on the back of mine, it had “Riley” on the back, and mine was a different color than Dashie’s. She looked on the back of hers, and it said Rainbow Dash on the back of hers. She looked fairly happy. Not that a name counted, but if we got ours mixed together, then that could be BAD! Twilight gave me the injection, and pulled out something that looked like an iPad.
It showed different designs, colors, wings, and it showed an empty space that was labeled, “Cutie Mark: will come when you realize what is right for you, but you will select it, since you already know what is right”. I am not a brony, so I have no idea what a cutie mark is. I looked over at Dash in confusion, who was pointing at her cutie mark. I was wondering what that was...
Dashie also told me that it represented what I was best at. I asked if I could have multiple things. Twilight said, “No.” and she smiled to show that she was sorry I couldn’t.
Crap! I have to choose one thing that would be my cutie mark. I feel like I would regret my decision if I chose what I wanted. Twilight handed me the tablet, and I got to work. I chose a dark brown body, blue eyes, a red mane, and I chose Dash’s tail, and mane. I personally liked the way it looked, It was long, and drooped down the side of her face. I chose to keep the lower mane short, but not too short.
The wings I chose were dark browned feathered wings. Now that I’ve designed my body, mane, tail, eyes, and wings, it was time for the hardest part. Choosing a cutie mark.
Now, I was thinking I had to draw this, until Twilight told me I could use a picture on my iPod. I sighed in relief, set the tablet on my left side, then went through my picture library, and looked, looked, and looked. Finally I found it. I might not be able to do it, but it represents me. It was the Avenged Sevenfold deathbat. I know this is going to turn out to look a bit sinister, but I couldn’t care less. I was still gonna be able to fly with my girlfriend, Dashie, that was my main focus, but I don’t exactly want something worse, like a diamond pic, or an xbox controller.
I guess she made the perfect choices, too because I peeked over, and she looked AMAZING. She had long black hair that reached her shoulders, she had blue eyes, and light tan skin, like mine, and she set herself to be as tall and skinny as I was.
She finished, then handed the tablet to Twilight, who uploaded the new Rainbow Dash’s new human face, and body into Dash’s machine, then said to wait a minute. Twilight then told me to take off my shirt so that she could give me the injection. It came right off, and she picked up my injection, then walked toward me.
I have gotten REALLY nervous going to the doctor to get something injected into me. I knew Twilight’s was coming right for me, but I had never been happier to get this injection. The needle entered my arm. I felt the liquid enter my veins, I felt different, although I was still happy. If it meant this would work. She handed us our machines, then she told Dash that she had to put clothes on after she transformed, and the clothes she put on before she turns into a human would fade with her human form. Basically, the clothes would evaporate when she morphed, and the same clothes would reappear after she morphed again.
I left the room with my remote, and got really excited. I immediately went into the bathroom, and took a deep breath of air, then pushed the pony button, and hoped for the best. It felt like nothing, but I felt bones moving around, and I also felt something pushing out of my back, which hurt a lot, but I was fine. I stopped glowing, and after that, I was a bit shorter that I was originally was, I lifted one of my arms up...to find a hoof.
I gasped at this, I looked back. There were two wings resting against my body. I just spread them and fluttered, and then rested them against my body, I jumped up, and looked in the mirror. I looked exactly like the avatar on Twight’s tablet did.
I broke in with, “Dash?” She looked over, and said, “Riley.” We hugged each other, but it felt different to hug someone like this. I got used to it, and we stopped to find Twilight was happy for us. I love this form. Twilight took me through the portal. She said that the devices were no longer needed, and that we could change from pony to human and back without the machine.
Sure enough, I went from a pony to a human again. Thank god I was still in my street clothes when I changed. It was weird, though, because I was wearing no clothes when I was a pony. But I was still happy, I changed back to a pony, and Dash turned back into a pony, as well. We entered the portal, and Twilight brought me to their Princess Celestia, who wore a majestic smile.
She greeted me, and I did the same back. Dash looked happy, but she was giving Twilight a certain look. I thought (what are you doing, Dashie?) in a way that meant I thought I knew what they were going to do, but I didn’t want to happen. They said goodbye to Celestia, and brought me to the front of her house.
I knew now what she wanted me to do...fly. I spread my wings, and tried to...but sat there just flapping my wings. Dash laughed, and she told me how it was really done. I hadn’t seen Dash fly yet, because she wasn’t able to go outside at my house, but when I saw Dash fly, she was simply beautiful.
She flew like an angel. I was mesmerized by this, and I wanted he to teach me how to, so I can be just as graceful as she was. She got back on the ground, and began to teach me. I knew I was sick, and the pressure was getting to me, but I didn’t care at all. I wanted to learn!
-When Riley told me it was a good idea, I got so happy, I wanted to jump in the air, but I decided not to. We went to Twi’s who said we had to wait 5 hours...we ended up waiting 10, because Riley heard the words pony or person turn change into a person or pony...He asked if he could have one, and she came back 5 hours later with another machine that was a different color than mine, and had his name on it. I felt mine rumble a bit, and then I looked under mine, it read Rainbow Dash. It was cool, but I didn’t really care what my remote said.
Twilight gave me the injection, and I felt different inside as I felt something going through me. I got anxious, and I pushed the button. I felt bones start to move instantly, and I felt my wings go into my body. It felt a bit weird, and I just ignored it. I stopped glowing, and Riley came over, and said it worked. I noticed something that almost made me scream a second later...I wasn’t wearing clothes. I just pushed the other button. I changed almost instantly. I felt REALLY weird, but I wasn’t too embarrassed. I knew Riley wasn’t into that clopper bullcrap on the internet.
I was told by Riley that he had to get dressed in front of other guys. I got really nervous at the thought that I had to get naked in front of a bunch of random girls, but he told me that you get used to it after a while. I was relieved by this. Twilight handed him a tablet, then he was using it for a good half-hour, then he finished his design on how his pony form would look. His cutie mark was a Deathbat, and I was happy, because we both loved Avenged Sevenfold.
I was getting worried that I wouldn’t be able to decide what I looked like, but after the avatar was uploaded, she handed me the tablet. I knew what human girls looked like, so I went through, and when I was finished, I saw the finished results, and loved it. She was beautiful, and that was going to be me in a few minutes.
I handed Twilight the tablet, and got really excited. I saw Riley look over at us patiently wainting, so Twilight told him to take off his shirt. Shut the fuck up, Twi! He’s mine *JK-LUL*. He did so, and she walked over with the needle. I got just as excited as he looked like he was. He told me that he didn’t like injections at all, but I could tell that he couldn’t wait to get THIS one.
He didn’t move as I saw the needle go into his arm. I was excited when Twilight told me to stay, but for him to go. He ran off, looking excited. I was excited too. I pushed the button, and began to change again. When I was changed, sure enough, I looked in the mirror, and I had the face I created. I looked really good. I was going to scream with joy, but I remembered I was still the same naked girl standing in the room.
Twilight's horn glowed, and she made some clothes appear. I put them on, carefully making sure I put the on right. I did. I waited a minute for Riley to be done. Celestia, he’s slow.
I heard the door open, and in walked a...really good looking pony. He had a dark brown body with brown wings, and had a mane which looked like mine, but was red. Topped off, with a deathbat cutie mark. He looked over at me, and said, “Dash?” I felt energy go straight through my human body, and I said “Riley.” We hugged each other.
Fine, I thought. We walked into the portal, and she told us we didn’t need the machines anymore. She told us we can change back and forth without the machines. So, out of nowhere, he started glowing, and was changing. I was prepared to have to not look at him. I knew how I was nude when I changed, but we are NOT ready to see each other like that (lul).
She knew what I was thinking, and Riley gave me a look that meant, “Are you doing what you think you are doing.” Yes, Riley, you are going to learn to use those things. We teleported back to Twilight’s house, and we took lessons everyday, but soon enough, he learned how to fly.
He was no longer sick when we were done, so it was time to sign me up for middle school. He pulled me aside, and said to NEVER under ANY circumstances to change to a pony when we leave the house, UNLESS he tells me, or when we get back to the house. He wasn’t being mean, but I saw the sadness in his eyes. “Riley, I know why you would say that, that way. Don’t worry, you weren’t mean, and I won’t fuck up.” he was showing me that if I did, I would be in HUGE trouble. I enrolled for the middle school, and got excited when I found out I have EVERY class with Riley.
-Today, it took a LONG time-a week for Dashie to teach me how to fly, but I learned!
“Don’t EVER change while we are out of the house under ANY circumstances!” I felt like I was being too mean. So I hugged her, kissed her, then said there’s no pressure. We got to the middle school, and enrolled her. The office must have thought we were close friends, and put us in the EXACT same classes. Even though she was COMPLETELY new to the school, she STILL enrolled for ASB, as well. I found this out when we came back home, and checked the schedule. I am SO EXCITED.
Day 22, November 8
We were so excited!
She won’t be coming until tomorrow, so I get to tell TheGamers about it. I said not to tell anyone, but… I pulled them into the bathroom, and changed into a pony. 1’s mouth dropped, 2 was saying, “DUUUDE!” 3’s eyes were as bulged as melons, 4, just looked at me doing all of what the were doing. 5 was at high school, but I told him about it over XBox Live. I changed back, and we got out.
I also told them that they will NOT even WHISPER anything about Dash’s pony form, or her friends or home. The only reason I didn’t use words like, “Equestria”, and “Ponies” was because all of this madness got them to start thinking I was a brony. (Once again, I have NOTHING against bronies, but I hate the judgmental people) They all understood, and walked away.
I told my friend Taylor (the MLG in my science class) that my girlfriend was coming to school tomorrow. He looked at me like I was dicking with him, but just as he said, “Cool.” When she walked in, he looked amazed. (lul)
The teacher introduced her to the class, and she sat back down. Before we enrolled her, we were thinking of a human name. we thought of a BILLION. We finally decided she would be called Alyssa Smith. I don’t remember where I’ve hear that name before, but it was perfect. The teacher said, “This is our new student, Alyssa.” That’s when the guys were staring at her again, and that’s also when I gave them the look again. They backed off, and pretended to do work again. I asked her quietly, “Why you here, D-” I’m glad no one noticed. The only one who noticed, was Taylor, who already knew, and thought I was dicking with him, when I said, “I met Rainbow Dash.” He laughed, and just derped around in the quad. When I was about to say Dashie, he gave me a look that said, “Dude, you nearly just got fucked!”
I corrected myself. I probably would have continued, until Taylor gave me a shove. Thank you, you saved me, Dash, and ALL of Equestria right there, good job reminding me not to have such a bad damn memory. “What are you doing here so early...Alyssa.”
She smiled, then said, “Your mom sent me here early.” I then said okay, then we just worked together. I just really hope it didn’t piss off the girl I used to have a crush on when she sees me with Dashie. Science ended, and when everyone got out, most of the guys there asked Dashie out.
Wow, Dash. Good job choosing your features if you’re able to get THAT many guys on the FIRST DAY. AGAIN, Taylor saved me, “Riley, look.” He pointed to the guys who were crowding her. “Taylor, please. She’s got this.”
I didn’t need to remind her to make sure she knew what to say. “I’m in a relationship.” Now, these were guys that DID NOT like me, whenever I said ANYTHING, they would say something like, “Shut the fuck up, kid.”
I wasn’t bothered by that at all, but what she said next made me feel like a warrior in a way. They asked Dash who she was with, and she said, “Riley.” They all looked over at me, and I could tell they thought differently of me when they saw me walk off with her holding her hand.
-I was sitting on the couch,waiting for Riley to get home. When his mom said, come on, we’re going to the school. I asked why, and she said she was taking me there because she might as well do it. I got really excited, and we went there. I walked in. And I took my seat next to Riley.
He was sitting next to his friend, who Riley said was an MLG. I’m not sure what that is, but it sounded like a group of professionals. When I sat down, no one but Riley was looking at me. The teacher brought me to the front of the class. I wasn’t nervous, since I had been in front of bigger crowds before. The teacher said my name, then I sat back down. When I looked around, most of the guys were giving me looks that said they like me already. Dang, if I was able to make myself look THAT GOOD, then I guess I did a good job.
I looked over, and Riley was staring them down. I wanted to laugh, but I decided that it would be too much trouble for me. Class was ending, Riley was too busy to notice that the same boys were giving me the same looks as before again. I went to get up when the teacher let us go, but before I could get out in time,they SURROUNDED me, all of them asking me out. I told them that I was with Riley, and walked off holding his hand. That felt good that we could finally be a couple in public, and not have to hide it.
-Dash and I walked through the school, and I showed her around. She thanked me for doing that. She was thankful, and she looked happy. We walked to the wall that was against the 7th grade book lockers. I noticed her feet were sore from walking, and I saw her trying to flap wings that she couldn’t currently use yet.
She remembered, and stopped trying. We sat against the wall, and held hands. No one noticed. Good.
Dash and I walked to ASB, we talked, and when we got there, we began to hold hands again. I looked over, and when my old crush came over, and saw us, she made an angry face at me. Dash whispered in my ear, "Who is she?" I told her that she was a girl I used to like before you came. I had no idea about her anger towards me, until now. She figured out I liked her (BEFORE I MET DASH, I am NOT like that), she must be ticked, because I moved on so fast.
Dashed smiled, then we stopped holding hands when we saw 1 walk in, he looked at Dash, then pulled me aside. "Riley, is that who I think it is?" He asked trying to give VERY clear hints about who he was talking about. I said yes. He whispered into my ear that she was SUPER hot. I said, "I know, but that's not why I love her. I love her, because she would do anything for me, she is considerate, would never give up on me." Dash heard this, and smiled, and said, "I know you love me, but the teacher's coming, and class is going to start soon."
She pulled me towards her, and we played a bit before class started. The ASB teacher saw she was new, and introduced her. I have known the ASB teacher since kindergarden, so we've known each other for so many years.
I saw my old crush looking a bit shocked that I got over her so fast. I felt slightly bad, but I don't love her, I loved Dashie. I wish I could have told my old crush about "Alyssa" before I just dropped the gun on her like that. When attendance was being called, Dash's human name was called, I felt so much joy as she said, “here”. Yeah, she was here...with me.
-The class was about to start, when a girl came over. She was looking at Riley
-When the teacher asked Dashie what committee she wanted to me on, she chose the one I was on. I knew that she wanted to be with me more, but I could tell 1 was getting nervous about his and my association together. I assured him that I would still talk to him, but that I needed time with Dash. And that we don't get to spend time together like him and I did for MANY years.
I know Dash was SUPER happy about her new human form, but as SOON as we got home, she would instantly change back into a pony. The same went with when we would get home, or when I go to Equestria to fly freely. I LOVED my pony form, but I would change as SOON as I step foot in my house. It felt nice to be different when you’ve been forced to be one certain thing for HOURS on end. If we were in the house on a weekend, we would be our original forms. This meant I would be human, and she would be pony. Our first day was great, but I’m worried that it is all too good to be true...
Author's Note
School starts for Dash, and my friend saves the FUCK out of me
Day 28, November 18
I haven't been able to get any entries, because heart-breaking things have started happening to my Dash, it all started a day after her third human day, she had a REALLY horrible nightmare. She woke up instantly, screamed for a good 5 seconds, then spent 10 minutes crying. We shared a bed, now, and the night this happened, I knew it was her.
I jumped awake, and when I heard her scream, I knew something was wrong. I cried myself, laying down with her. Keeping her in a close hug, trying to calm her down after the scarring nightmares she has been having, I was hurt that she was suffering, but it was nothing compared to the nightmares she had been having.
She was remembering the emotional time we had when Fluttershy told me about her parents. She has been having nightmares about her parents, and she tells me she also has nightmares about me, too. The nightmares always ended with her parents and or me getting hurt, tortured, or murdered. The images of the two being tortured every night, me and her parents being killed or tortured have been giving her insomnia every night.
I had been sleeping at her side, calming her down so that she would not feel any stress at night. I just kept my arms around her, and I never even heard a sound, that was like music to my ears. Peace, for me, was to hear her happy. We fell asleep every night like that, and she doesn't have nightmares when she sleeps in my arms.
Last night was the most heart-breaking, and scarring nightmare that has come, yet. I was holding her in my arms, like normal, we fell asleep. It was 4:00...AM when I woke up to find her still awake in bed, she had red veins showing on the sides of her eyes, she had dried tears in her eyes, and she was REALLY tired. She told me the nightmare she had was discovered everything about her parents, only to find out that they had been murdered by a group.
In the dream, it seemed realistic enough that she thought she actually woke up. It was in the dream that I was beginning to hold her, but I was ripped right from her, and stabbed, and murdered by the same group that murdered her parents, but killed me right on the bed...right in front of her. I know that I would never want this to happen, but they didn't take Dash's life, too.
Just the though of Dash wanting someone to kill her, that she was even TALKING about killing herself made me start to cry, I told her I didn't EVER want her to tell anyone to kill her, or kill herslf.
But after four of the thugs killed me, they just threw my body against her, and she was asking them to kill her, too because she wanted to be with her parents and me. But all the thugs did was put her against the wall, and put cuts all over her, and whenever she would go to grab the knife, they would swipe the knife away. Then, would break whatever bone they could find in her body. The thought of this made me cry more.
When they were done, everything was broken but her neck, she was in A LOT of pain, but she couldn't end it. When she was done, I hugged her, and cried, saying I'm sorry I forgot, I won't ever forget to hold her again. I cried for a while before I calmed down, then carried her to the kitchen table. She had wings, but everything was too dangerous in her eyes. She couldn't move. I helped get breakfast in every way possible, but she wouldn't eat, she looked terrified, like the same thugs were going to take me away from her.
That wouldn't happen, but I felt sorry for her. My mom offered for her to stay home, but she didn't want me to be away from her, and she cried. I hugged her, and she calmed down. I know it wasn't all that I could do for her, but it was enough to let her know I was fine. I told my mom I would just stay home so we could rest, and she could calm down.
I know it’s been a long time since my last entry, but Dash went missing a year ago from when the nightmares stopped. I lost count of the days with my Dashie, as well. Ever since this has happened, I haven’t been eating, drinking, or sleeping well. I don’t even get up in the morning at all because of the nightmares I’m having. These are exactly like the ones my precious Dash started having three months ago, but I feel like mine are a lot more agonizing. I see the same image in my head, Dash getting taken...and the kidnapper...
The pain I’m experiencing right now makes me want to kill myself. I won’t do that...unless I know my Dashie isn’t taking breaths-
(The rest of the paper was torn off under the entry’s writing, had wet tear marks on it, and had hints of blood in one corner.)
I had to start the entry over. When I finished writing the word, Dashie, I tried to slit my throat with the paper...No, I'll continue going. For her. When I finished writing that, my mind started forcing my fondest memories with my precious, and now lost Rainbow Dash.
The first day I went to school, I was hallucinating, I could barely hear. For my hearing was being clogged by noise in my mind. I saw Dashie everywhere I went. If that wasn’t already bad enough, I was hearing voices in my head. The voices were saying, “Do it…”. They sounded exactly like the voices from the creepypasta, “Redmist.”I told myself I wouldn't cry, or try and hurt myself...until my teacher took role.
The teacher went name by name. I was finally able to isolate the present situation from my Rainbow, until the teacher said, "Rainbow Dash?". I was ready to do one of the following when he said my Dashie's name: Cry, scream, vomit, pass out cold, or drive my pencil through my throat. I did none of these.
Instead, I felt my lips quivering. Someone asked me what's wrong, but I quickly changed to Pegasus form, then flew out of the room, using all of the strength in my wings to thrust as hard as I could. I was crying hard on the way out, too. I just remember flying out through the door, zooming up on the roof of the school, and changing again. I sat on the roof, crying. I can't believe she would dare even fucking SAY her name! What a BITCH!!! This was a half a month ago, before the talk I had with the mane...5.
I'm sorry... I just miss her so much. I could have stopped it, but I couldn't. I was there the night she was taken.
The bottles were in the garage, and the garage door was open.
I saw her start to walk into the room...but then I heard a gunshot. She started screaming, and fell to her knees. I instantly got up, and ran to her. I kneeled down beside her. She was bleeding from the stomach. God dammit, when are the mother fuckers going to attack ME first.
I knew people often survived the shot she took, but she was bleeding pretty bad. I just did what I knew was best for her at this moment, even if it isn’t doing her any good for her health. I pulled her toward me, and leaned her up against me, and stroked her mane gently. We began to cry together. Just as I told Dash she was going to be okay, and that I love her, a tall dark figure came out of the dark. I took a bullet to the upper leg, and cried out.
Dammit! Taking the bullet was so damn painful, I could barely breath! The figure grabbed her, and started to run.
The sick realization sunk in, that I just let my love get taken from me.
I called the police. I told them my girlfriend and I were doing a cosplay party, and she was dressed as a Rainbow Dash. He bought it. They searched for a month. We tried to the point where a years worth of searching for someone in the Sahara would be about even to the amount of effort they gave.
The other 5 elements of harmony were out on vacation in Las Pegasus for two months. They came back from vacation, and wanted to come see us. They offered for Dash and I to go, but we said no.
God DAMMIT!!! If we would have fucking gone with them, we wouldn't be in this situation right now!!! They looked pretty happy when they came to tell Dash and I about the trip. They probably would have expected to see Dash and I sleeping in bed, me holding Dash, while she slept like an angel in my bed. Instead of that, they came, just to see me sitting on the edge of my bed, slouched over with my face buried in my palms, crying.
They knew something was up, so Fluttershy came over to me, and asked me what's wrong. I told her to just give me a minute. I probably sat for a half-hour, crying to the point where I was barely able to breath. They looked like they were starting to get impatient.
"Riley, I'm sorry to be asking you this right now" said Twilight, starting a conversation, as Fluttershy tried HARD to try and get me to breath. What a kind pony. At any time, Fluttershy will be there to make you feel better in sad times. Twilight continued with, "Im sorry to ask, but...where's Rainbow Dash?" I softly cried for a minute more, then realized what I had to do...
I took deep breaths, then said,
"Come.."
They did just that, and sat down on the living room couch. They knew it was serious, so I just continued with the story.
"...I know that you think that nothing can truly take love away. That is true, but possessions can easily be taken from you like that. Life could end tomorrow, and there would be no one to stop it. I may have many things I keep close to me, cherish, and love like my life depended on it. But, the only thing I truly love, this I hold close, and I never want to let it go. This is my precious Rainbow Dash." I could feel tears coming again. I need to finish. "Look, the point is... A month ago, on Friday, Dashie went to go get a water, came back in, but was shot in the stomach by somebody with a gun."
"I watched her bleed...and I ran over, held her, holding her in my arms, and said, “Dashie, you’ll be okay, I love you..”." By now we were all huddled up crying.
"There was a figure in the hall who pulled out a gun, and fired a bullet into my leg. If I would of seen it coming, I would have been able to save her...The figure grabbed Dash by the wing, and dragged her down the hall, striking her every time she tried to struggle..." The five ponies looked just as stricken as I was. We were all crying, and were huddled in a big group.
"...You know how hard it is...when someone you love is being taken away from you. You can hear them screaming, and crying for you. Every time she tried to struggle, the man would put a bullet through Dash’s body..." We were all openly crying now. The saddest part was...none of this was made up.
"It was heartbreaking...even seeing her get hurt like that...Every bullet that passed through her body killed me a little inside….” By now, I was crying so hard, that my breathing was taking forceful sudden breaths, and I had to stop at some points in the story. “The man started to...drive away...I could hear Dashie...screaming, but I saw...the driver turn around, and start...hitting her. All I could hear was crying in the car..." By now, I could tell that the ponies felt just as horrible as I did. They were crying, and huddling with each other. Pinkie was crying the hardest. Rainbow was Pinkie's best friend, so apart from me, she was hurt most of all.
Anyway, Pinkie was crying so hard, she walked up to me, fell over on me, and was hugging me. I embraced it with her, when I felt the others fall on top of her, starting a group hug. We just walked over, and sat on the floor, lying against the couch
It was hard to tell the story because I was crying so hard "The car...was driving off...when...I was bleeding out, which...made me... fall out of the air, and when I landed..." I was openly crying again.
"...When I landed, I could...hear Dashie...screaming for me, and...she sounded...so...scared." I noticed that we were not calming down at all, so I just continued.
"I know this...might be twisted, but....the...the part that killed me every day is the fact that I.......could of..saved her...but I didn't..." Pinkie was no longer hugging me, she had her face buried in my sweater. I could feel her warm tears now. We stopped the group hug, and they knew Pinkie was hurting the most out of all of the ponies. So they backed off, and I comforted her.
We were still crying hard, and I finished the story as best as possible.
"We...searched for a month....we sent 200 units out. They couldn't..find her...... I love her so much...and if....they don't find her.....I'll still always....love her. And.... If the results....come in, and....she's not..." I tried to avoid saying that one word, because it would make everypony cry even harder.
It took a while, but the word slipped.
"And If they find her dead... Somewhere...I will find the...killer...and......make him..........." The other four ponies were not crying as hard as pinkie and I, but they were still sobbing pretty hard. Pinkie and I were crying REALLY hard. We could feel each other's tears on ourselves, as we continued to share our emotional pain that was clouding our friendship.
Pinkie and I were hugging tightly, crying, because we knew Dash was either alive, where she would be suffering, cold, crying, and wanting her home back...or she would not be alive, where she wouldn’t be suffering, but where we would be mournful. I didn't want her to be dead, but I don't want her to suffer in the wilderness, either.
"She's gone, jus' gone! I’m sorry if I caused any pain to her… I loved her like a sister, like I reckon the rest of you do." Said Applejack, through tears. She came over to Pinkie and I, and joined our hug. Rarity came over, she had no comments, but she was still crying really hard. Twilight came over expressionless, crying too. She and Rarity joined the embrace, too. Fluttershy walked over, she was also crying. She came over, and joined the hug. We sat and huddled together for a long time, crying and sobbing.
We probably cried for about two hours, but fell asleep.
I just still can’t believe she’s gone… I know that she might come back...but I hope that if she doesn’t...she can sleep peacefully, and won’t suffer anymore. I don’t know if that will happen, but if she does...I love you..so much.
Later in time…
I can’t take it anymore. I can’t take being without my Rainbow. I know she hasn’t made it. I lied, I have no idea what happened to her, but I’m miserable without her. I’m...gonna take my life while the other 5 ponies are asleep, it’s better that they didn’t witness my suicide.
I will write a note for my love before I do this, of course...if you receive it:
Dashie
I know that our life as a couple was not only short-lived, but it was also the most amazing experience of my life...I have never felt joy like this before, and I want to thank you for putting my misery to rest. I love you...so much, and I will miss you.
As I sit here for a month and ten days, I am miserable, That is why I am going to take my life. I can’t take being without you for another day! I’ve had it with my pain… your pain, and suffering is my fault. If I do manage to continue with this action, and succeed, then I want you to go to Equestria, go inside, and shut down the portal behind you...forever. You will never see the earth again, and never have to hurt again. I love you so much, and I will always be wrapped in the love and joy you’ve given me.
I will sleep with eternal peace, and if I will be able to go straight to heaven, and stay there: I will always remember, and love you.
There is just one thing that I ask of you...don’t follow me to where I am going to go.. Don’t make my same careless mistakes. Please, learn from my carelessness, and never be like me. Please don’t be angry with me, I have nothing against you….in fact, I love you so much, and I wish you well. Keep moving forward, and never look back at me.. although, I ask that you still give me the general love I will want. Even though I will not be in existence anymore, I will always be with you. So, please don’t give up on your 5 friends, my family, Equestria, or me. I love you.
Your lover forever
Riley
Oh god, am...I going to do this? I thought to myself… Yes! And no one will stop me……
I remembered where a gun was in the drawers. I pulled it out, and felt a tear run down my cheek. I held it up to my head. I don’t want to do this, but my sorrow hurt much worse than what I’m about to do…
“NO!”
I heard a voice say… my family was visiting a friend, and Dash and I were supposed to take care of each other until they got back, so it wasn’t anyone there.
Instead, it was Fluttershy. God, I can’t believe she is so kind. But that is what she was made for. “Riley?...” she said, quietly, with wet eyes.
At this point, I had dropped the gun, and fell to my knees, and began to cry. The gun lay beside me, and I was kneeling down beside it. I was crying, then she walked over to me. She was not sobbing like I was, but she was crying, too.
“You…” Pinkie whispered to me as she walked over. “You tried to…” I felt just as betrayed as she felt right at this moment. Me, for the pain god has given me, and she, for me trying to drop the rock into the lake. “You tried to...kill yourself?” The last two words made tears come to her eyes.
“...Yes, Pinkie. I….couldn’t take it.” I said crying again. “I was starting to lose faith in myself….and I couldn’t believe myself for causing so much pain to you, to the other 4 ponies, and….to……….” I couldn’t say her name, and began crying again.
We had emotional talk about how we loved her, and how we would want for nothing but for her to be safe.
“Riley, I know you tried to find her, but…..I just don’t want to find her, abused, broken, and bleeding. And I don’t want to hear that she died.” Said Twilight, crying. That was my trigger word. I began crying hard as soon as she said the word dead. Then the thought popped up.
“Twilight, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie?”
“Yes?” asked all 5 ponies as I asked them
“If somehow, Rainbow Dash comes back, and she is fine...I want to pack up my things, go through the Equestrian portal, and destroy it behind us as we enter.”
They all looked shocked
“Riley, darling? You do realize this means you will never come back to earth, right?” Asked Rarity. “Yeah, I know Rarity, but I will make any sacrifice for my Rainbow. She is my life right now. You know that from just moments ago when I tried to...you know..” I said to her, reassuring myself. “Look, I know ya’ love her, but if I were you, I would just keep things the way they are.” Applejack protested to me. “I know, AJ. What I want is for her to be safe, and happy. I can’t stand it when stuff like this happens to her, and they’re all MY fault. I don’t care if I never SEE earth again. I don’t care if I never see my family again. I just want for my Rainbow Dash to be happy.”
“Riley…” Twilight began. “I have read up on this before...if you are taken from this dimension, and taken to Equestria: Not only will you, nor Dash will be able to ever change from human to pony, or pony to human ever again…” She said to me as a warning. She then spoke quietly. “...but anything involving you in any way will be removed from the planet. Everything as close to photos, to your birth certificate will all be converted to ponyville, and you will be altered completely. You will still be you, but you will stay the same pony you can change to right now.”
I changed, and took a good look at myself. Am I willing to stay this same pony...forever. Am I ready to take a different lifestyle as a ponyville resident? Am I willing to let 15 years of existence...be removed from the earth, all just...gone? Yes! I will
“Yes…” I said confidently.
“Okay, then…” Said Twilight quietly…
One Month Later…
Today, I tried killing myself again. Only I wasn't stopped by Fluttershy this time like before...
I screamed at my pain, and sorrow, as I told it I was tired of waiting for Dashie to come back. I don’t know why I was saying things like this to myself, but I would soon never do this again.
Earlier…
It's been two more months. I can't do it anymore. The 5 remaining Elements said they knew Rainbow didn't make it I got so mad at them, "FUCK YOU, SHE'S STILL OUT THERE!!!" They looked scared. So scared.
At that moment, I was ready to break somepony's neck, so i didn't care what I was about to do. "PINKIE!" I yelled at the poor pony who I must have scared REALLY bad, because I saw a tear run down her face. I apologized, starting to tear up myself. This time, they didn't want to hear it. "Look, Pinkie...Im sorry-"
"Riley." Twilight said quietly. "She's gone. If you want to do one of two things: keep searching, or follow us through the portal to equestria. If you want to keep searching, we'll keep the portal open. But if you feel it’s hopeless, come with us. We'll shut down the portal forever so that you may never have to think about her again..."
I tried to explain that they should stay, and help, and that she was still out there. She just gave me a sad look that cut me off dead.
“Well, good luck on your search…” That was the last thing they said to me before they went through the portal.
I kept searching, and searching, and searching.
It was hopeless... She was nowhere to be found.
Back to the present...
I began to lean, but heard something...familiar.
"NO, RILEY!" Could that be... Could that be...
I felt something grab me, and pull me up. It wasn't human, but it felt like...
"Dashie?" I said to my long lost love who stood before me. "Yeah, it's me. I missed you." She said as she began to cry. I cried too.
"Dashie, please, don't leave me like that again. I love you." I said to her as we lied on the ground in tears. "I won't, and I love you, too."
We then kissed. It never felt better to see her again. All of that waiting was worth it. But then I remembered a promise I made. "Dash...we have to talk..."
I took her aside, and told her what I was going to do for us. She seemed shocked that I would make a sacrifice like that. "Dash, I love you more than anything, and I don't want you to be hurt anymore." She closed her eyes, and nodded. “Riley, what is you don’t survive the change..” she asked, beginning to get quiet. “Twilight told me that the only thing that will happen to me is that my existence from earth will be removed, as if it never happened. But, my existence will be transitioned to Equestria, I’ll be fine.”
I changed to pegasus, then we flew back home together. The family would never know I left with the one I loved so dearly. In fact...they will never know I existed. I just wrote a note telling about myself. I told the family I love them so much. I grabbed my backpack, and started to fill it with items, then I realized something. Chances are, that Equestria probably has the right type of plug for my things, but I am NOT sure. So I filled it with my normal stuff. My laptop, iPod, chargers, and my Beats Studio headphones. But I realized that I have to bring something to remember earth by. So, I put a CD player in it, my Avenged Sevenfold albums in, and a LOT of batteries so that I could power the CD player. I also brought my guitar. I know it probably won’t work over there on an amp, but it will be a good little reminder that we did this. That will do… I also packed other stuff like my Black Ops 2 game, and an XBox remote, and others. It is a lot, but it will be a good reminder. I almost left, when I saw a family portrait of me, Dash, mom, my dad, and brothers. I took that since it will be the closest thing I will have to a memory if my iPod, or laptop dies and I can’t recharge it.
I grabbed my backpack, and faced the portal with Dashie, who simply said she would need something. She grabbed both of our Avenged Sevenfold shirts. Dash looked at me, I looked at her, and we both slowly walked through the portal with smiles on our faces. Goodbye, earth. Goodbye, technology. Goodbye, YouTube. Goodbye, everything on the Internet. Goodbye, my family. Goodbye, humanity. Goodbye...old Riley. Hello, new life.
I thought these things as we slowly walked through. We trudged on over to Twilight's house with Dashie. I slowly opened the door, and there they were, sitting in the main room, with a big picture of my girlfriend on the wall...who was alive.
We then, went to the portal...Twilight was going to destroy it. Good, I don't care. "Riley, you won't change back to human…” Twilight said to me “It's for the good." I said as I held Dash's hoof. I sat there, as I watched Twilight destroy the portal. It was gone.
I was never going to go back to earth again. I was happy.
I felt my place was in Ponyville. I know I won't ever see my family again. It was a heart-breaking thought...but I don't care. My new family was sitting right next to me, holding my...hoof?
I noticed I was in my Pegasus form, again. I tried changing, but I couldn't. Dashie tried changing to human, but couldn't as well. I guess living here made it impossible to become anything from another dimension once a portal is destructed. Oh well, it seems like it would be my happy ending, and Dash's happy ending.
All things involving me were removed from the planet. Also, no one knows who I am, and everything I owned was sadly destroyed (except for what I brought of course). All existence of me was removed from earth. Even the slightest clue of who I was was removed. Oh well. At least they won't miss me. I'm just glad I'm here with Dashie.
I know that soon, I might have to go, and get married, but I have to wait first. I mean...It IS a long time...should I ask her. Yup, we’re both 15, but who gives a crap. Oh well, at least I am not suffering anymore, and neither is my Dashie.Fine! I’ll freakin’ do it! “Dash, I don't have much to say, but for the journey you've given me. For the joy you've given me the chance to have. For making me, not the happiest somebody, but now the happiest somepony ever for a year. For always being there for me in my time of need. For saving my life. For being my everything...I Love You, Rainbow Dash.” I proposed later, then she said yes. Another thing happened, when we closed the portal, my cutie-mark changed. Now, it’s a triple cloud. My new name is Windy Chaser, RileyA7X was my old life.
I know this kind of isn’t the best ending, but the entries are REALLY time consuming, and I have a new life to live with my wife. Goodbye. If you are reading this, Dash. Thank you for making my life the happiest anyone, or anypony could want it to be. My life will never be better. My gaming wasn’t keeping me sane or happy, my music wasn’t either. Not even my 15 years on earth was keeping me happy. It was you.
Please, don’t ever forget...I love you so much, Rainbow.
The End...

The end of the story
Day 41, December 1
She recovered, and we are glad, but school is out, and we got a BUNCH of “Get better, Alyssa” cards. It feels good that a lot of the students have given us their support.
-The nightmares stopped, I’m glad, but now, I want to sleep again, it will be better for me.
-I don’t want to continue again, until something major happens again, the entries have been REALLY getting in the way. Oh well, bye…..
