The Game that Changed it All.
It was a day after I won. I won the World Championships three years running. Tears were flowing down my face, and I was half , deaf due to how loud the crowd was. Lets roll back who am I? I'm Jeff, just Jeff. I play billiards, or pool as you might call it, professionally. I win every contest, tournament, anything I play. When I'm bored, I play. When I'm sleepy, I play. When I want to do anything, I play. You could call it an addiction, but a good one. I started playing when I was five, my dad had got me a table, a kid sized one of course. I thought it was boring at first, but I guess my dad was persistent, cause 8 years passed, and I still played. I had got a full sized table, and won some city/state championships. Most I came in 1st but some I came in 2nd or 3rd. But as I was playing on my 16th birthday I won a championship game, on the opening break. I played like crazy after that, and gave the sport massive popularity. Winning a lot made good content on a resume, after I had got out of college. I was pretty smart, had a perfect 4.0 GPA, and the funny thing is, I never studied.
I was a perfect son, any parents would want me, however one thing got on my dad's wrong side, and he got pretty mad when he found out. I am a brony. After a lot of screaming, and fierce arguments, I got the facts in, and the assumptions out. He thought that Bronies were, well, I'm not going to say. I later caught him watching season 1. I have to say, my favorite pony is Rainbow Dash. I can relate to her being impatient, and her personality. She is also the pony that got me into the show. I sometimes sit in bed, and just think of flying with here, pulling off a sonic rainboom, and then two, and then three! I can imagine Fluttershy saying, "Yay, he pulled of a triple rainboom!!!"
When my mom found out about me being a Brony, she didn't care, she was actually happy, and my brother, he was away a lot. He was 15 when I was born, and I have no memories of him. I was told he couldn't stop moving or talk to anyone for long because of his job, but I know the truth. He gave my family great honor in what he did. He joined the military and was deployed to Afghanistan. After his squad came under fire from an advancing unit, he fought back. His squad was heavily outnumbered and outgunned, but suffering through wounds that should have killed him he and his squad had killed or captured all of the enemy unit. One of his squad members said he died with a smile. I asked my parents how he really died at age 13. They told me, and I ended up laughing. I laughed at the fact he smiled at death, but tears were flowing really heavily. I still am stunned at what he did.
After all the flashing lights, the autographs, and the fainting, I'm basically a celebrity, I made it home. And yes billiards are now one of the biggest attractions, on TV and in person, I am partially to blame for that. Anyways, I felt tired so I decided to go and play some billiards. I finished in 10 moves, which is below my average of 8. I usually put 8-11 balls in on the break. I then go to sleep, and see Rainbow Dash standing near a mirror, when I come flying out of it. I wake up, and find it is 8:00 am. I go down and play some billiards. I feel kinda nauseous, but I haven't ate, so I pass it off. I set up my game, making sure the 8 ball is in the middle of the triangle, and position the cue ball. Im feeling sick at my stomach now, but I figured I would break, and then grab a bagel and come back down. As soon as I hit the cue ball, I fall, and throw up at the same time. I then fall though the throw up, wait what? I said it, I fell though the throw up. I fell into, a funnel like thing with rainbows. Was I drugged the night before?
I fell for quite some time, and then I saw something. A clear thing with what looked like Rainbow Dash on the other side. Wait, it is Rainbow Dash! Where was I, and how was I drugged? I hit the glass, have immense pain, and hear a scream. I land on the entrance to her cloud palace. She flies to me, and I ask, "Where am I?" in a daze. I don't hear her answer, as I blackout.
Its been 2 weeks since I came through the portal/rainbow funnel. I only told Rainbow Dash of my past, and permitted her to tell Princess Celestia. I'm actually flying to Canterlot now to attend a meeting about me. Apparently this has happened once before, with a red Alicorn coming through instead of a Pegasus pony. He however let his past be known, and most people he is close with know about him. I however don't want people to panic that there is another world out there, with people possibly coming through daily. Speaking of people, I told Rainbow about the show, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. You would never guess her response, and from what I can recall, this is the conversation,
"How long was I out?" I said in a groggy voice. Rainbow reply's with
"Compared to me sometimes, this is nothing, but you were out for two whole-" She couldn't finish her sentence
"TWO DAYS! If what is in My Little Dashie is true then its been two years back on Earth!" Rainbow was confused, I had yelled the Two days part, but the rest about My Little Dashie, I could barely here myself, and yet she heard it!
She asked about My Little Dashie, and why her name Pinkie gave her was being used. So this is the part that I dreaded, like in My Little Dashie, I tell Rainbow about the world I come from, instead of where she comes from. I told her about the show, FIMfiction, the Bronies, and basically everything. She flew off, and I felt really bad telling her this, that she was a pony from a kid's cartoon, but she seemed as if she knew this. I hear a boom, and start to run outside when I see it, the legendary Sonic Rainboom. She then flies right in front of me, and says"I'm THAT FAMOUS!?!?!?!?!"
I asked her this in return,"You don't seem upset, why?" She then tells me that a Red Alicorn came through, but in a different way, a portal by Discord. This Alicorn going by the name of Dan told the ponies, and because he was royalty and an Alicorn, he went to live in Canterlot. I really hope to meet him.
Thinking about Dan made me remember the time Rainbow asked me what my name was. I was literally so scared that I fell, making a huge laugh escape from Rainbow. But I was actually stalling, and the perfect name popped into mind. I replied like this,"Cue Ball, but you can call me Jeff" I said Cue Ball because it was the most important ball, in my opinion, in billiards. She asks about the Cue ball,because the ponies' names usually tell something about them, and I tell her about how I am great at the game, and what it is about. I found out that the game doesn't exist here in Equestria, which made me very sad. I decided I would go to Rarity to get materials after I learned to fly, and get introduced to everyone. I noticed as I was going to sleep in Rainbow's guest room, her cutie mark. I went to look at mine, and found it was hard to look and see it. I had a lot of fails walking and running cause of the four legs and all, creating many laughs from Rainbow. I eventually got used to it, and put it up to myself to get better. I was also taught how to fly, but with some logic I found that flying in Equestria is easier that it might seem on Earth. I found that flapping straight up and down got me altitude, flapping diagonally got me distance and altitude, I use this method to take off, and my distance method is flapping head to toe, sorry hoof. Rainbow seemed interesting learning about humans, and I think Twilight would too. I can imagine Twilight asking about running tests, and I have to sit there for like 4 hours. Did I mention I was impatient?
After noticing a mirror, I walk over to it, as at the time, I did not know how to fly, and notice my cutie mark. It is my favorite stick, and all the balls in the triangle. I never cared to learn the official terms, so I never knew if what I say is right. I think that I might be able to help the Cutie Mark Crusaders, with billiards, help them get their cutie marks. I find cutie marks to be like jobs, you pursue what you like, which is your cutie mark, for instance Pinkie's cutie mark is balloons. What is in parties? Cupcakes and sugary foods, and she works at Sugarcube Corner. I played billiards professionally, and its my cutie mark. About my body itself, its basically red, with a black mane and tail. Was it my OC? Kinda, I didn't add a cutie mark on my OC, because what would it be? Ok I knew it would something about billards, but I really just got lazy.
You would think I would miss home, but to be honest, I don't. I grew apart from my parents after college and did not try to talk to them. My dad however would always email me, and I would email him. He was, a brony, and wrote some great fanfiction like one how the Elements of Harmony were created my Chaos to control itself, and make fun last, and there was some time travel built in, but I didnt understand it.I had some friends online, mainly Bronies. We would just watch and discuss episodes, make fanfictions, and just have fun. Heck, we attended Broycon 2014 together. I hope that they forgot me by now, so when I get back, I can still go on with my life and not have some creepy people following me, that I barely know anymore. I really don't want to leave, I'm in Equestria, and I'm a Brony. Why would I want to leave? Im nearing Canterlot, I've been instructed to go straight to the castle, and I would see 5 ponies. Well 4 Alicorns and Discord. Hopefully the meeting isnt going to go too bad, like I would have to get sent back. But ill try to be friends with Discord, so he could open me a portal. Also who are the 4 Alicorns? Is there another I dont know about, or are Dan and Twilight there?
