Prologue (Grammar Revised)

It is about 6:00pm in Equestria and you found yourself weary of your performance that just ended minutes ago... everything happened just as it would normally happen the members of the orchestra packed their things and tried to decide where to go for an "After performance celebration." But you weren't quite finished packing up from the nightmare of a time here in the royal ballroom. But neither was Octavia Philharmonica, you didn't give it much thought. Even though you liked here ever since your first met her a few years ago when you got thrown into Equestria you never had the courage to talk to her, let alone flirt with her!

Even as a 23 year-old man you felt as if you missed 'home' a lot, but you were happy that those memories were gone for the fact that most of the time you were just browsing the internet for porn. Life on earth: sucked your parents never really understood why you watched the infamous show about "magical ponies and rainbows!" (As your parents would call it.) Your father even kicked you out of the house for a meaningless argument about the show! As life went on you used your music skills to bum some money for a meal. A McDonalds Dollar menu item was enough to get you by for the day but still left you hungry for the long cold nights.

About two months after your father evicted you, you were walking along the streets at night like a bum, clothing all tore up and cuts and bruises along your body. Crossing the street wouldn't really make a difference, right? Some may think so, but to you this street was where your old life was left behind and a new one had finally come. You got hit as you walked across the street by a drunk driver running completely ignoring the red light; most people would think that would be a safe time for walkers or hobos to cross the street.You had waited for the cross-walk light to reveal a figure that resembled a person walking - this meant it was your time to cross the street. Little did you know that in a few moments your life on earth would end.

As your body gets tossed around like dice in a cup by the car your life flashed before your eyes. Your parents, your friends, your future, were gone. Your body's senses seem to have faded and your vision had turned to a pitch black. Your soul slowly left your body and you saw a replay of the event of what just happened. You never thought you would ever see your own death like this, so innocent and painful. You thought to yourself about how they shouldn't have been driving out and about with their ricer Honda Civic that was now covered in blood and a body stuck front window. Moments after your spirit just wished to cry and you much obliged.

As soon as you started doing so your guardian angel appeared and to much of your surprise it wasn't a man or a woman. It was Celestia herself! Afraid of what she would have thought of you, you quickly wiped your tears away and looked up at her still red eyed from your breakdown, you hear her start humming in an event to try to calm you down. After what seemed to be an eternity you just stood there looking at her fellow princess wondering what she's even doing there.

"Anon, there is no need to worry you're going to be alright" After all that has happened you can't even think of things being even a bit better so you looked at her with a puzzling look and she just gesture at you to get on her as if she wanted to take you somewhere.

But you replied to her with a "are you sure?" Celestia nodded you mounted on her back and she began to lift gradually off the ground something about that moment made you so soothed like a baby hearing there mother's heart beat.

You forget all of life's struggles simply got replaced by happy memories. After some time you just seemed to have fallen asleep and payed no attention to what was going on around you. Clestia had taken you to Equestria itself! But you were still asleep so how would you know? After your best rest in your whole life you were just rudely awaken by her majesty herself. You thought it was always rude to wake someone up from a deep sleep. But you were happy she did, as you were awe struck everywhere you looked you were surrounded by magnificent displays of art in the glass windows that showed the adventures Celestia and Luna had together tapestries hung off the walls showing the importance of the equestrian nation. "Rise up Anon for your new life has begun!" and so you did as your princess commanded but also took a knee to her because after all she was royalty! Maybe she was right and things were really going to get better.

You stand up and asked "What now?" She looked at you almost sideways wondering what the buck your talking about! "Am I a slave?" you asked with worry in your voice.

"Why of course not! You are free to do as you wish from now on along Equestria." You always wanted a fresh start, maybe this could be your perfect opportunity to go for what truly inspired you, music! The royal orchestra seemed like it would fun and you would be famous for doing what you loved! It was what you grew up with, music was the prefect substitute for the parents that never wanted you and for the life you hated.

"Is there any chance that I can get into the royal orchestra?" You emitted as you had no other passion, no drive. Well besides a pretty woman.

"Only the best of the best get in, do you consider yourself worthy?" and you're replied with a simple nod She doesn't have a clue about my abilities! and so she gestures you to follow her to a room full of instruments. You gazed at them in awe, never before have you seen so many instruments all together in one room. You quickly spotted a double bass which was your favorite instrument under the piano that is. You grabbed the bow and found the nearest wax to wax your bow with so you could get the most crisp sound possible. Sure you would even without any wax as you were a master at you art. Gently you put both bass and the bow in position, you started to play your best trying not to screw up even though here and there you heard a few flaws. After a 6 minute performance you put away the bow and bass and took a bow to your princess who was highly impressed. Score! you thought to yourself as you gave yourself a mental pat on the back. "Anon you never told me you were such a skilled musician!"

You began to blush "Well considering I spent most of my life practicing music where can I go wrong?" you say boldly. "I definitely think you're ready for the orchestra!" the feelings were so eminence you just felt like you wanted to kiss her at the moment! But decided not to, to save you from having to explain why you did that to anypony else later. You were just the happiest man in Equestria and the only one too!

"So when am I able to meet the rest of ponies in town?" you asked politely not wanting to abandon Celestia right after you basically just met her.

"You may go as you please now, I will stay here and write a letter to the conductor of the orchestra of your arrival and joining of the group." What kinda shit is this? I mean all of my life I have been dreaming for something like this to happen and now that it's finally here I'm at a loss for words!

"I... I... I don't know how to thank you!" you said as you headed toward the exit. You found yourself a bit confused on the navigating side of things but after a good 10 minutes of going in circles you finally managed to find the exit. At the exit you noticed the royal guards staring you down like a piece of trash, even though you were about a head height bigger than they were. As you exited you saw the hustling and bustling streets of Canterlot nobody seemed to pay any attention to you even though you were a human which did surprise you a lot.
