Chapter 1

I won't lie, being a single dad is hard. I've always had a hectic schedule, ever since her mother died.

My day consists of waking up early, taking my daughter to school, going to work, and then sleeping, along with the other little things like going to the grocery store, and clothes shopping.

Daisy, My daughter, always wants me to watch My Little Pony with her. Not that I'm complaining, It's just that after a long day of work, I get tired.

She's too young to understand how tired I get, but I wish she could. Maybe then, she would leave me in peace for a while.

Don't get me wrong, I love her with all my heart, But once in a while I need some “Me” time.

“Daddy, Will you come watch My Little Pony with me?”, Daisy asked, looking up at me with pleading eyes.

“Not right now, sweetheart. Daddy's too tired.”

Daisy began getting teary eyes, making me immediately regret my answer to her question. “Alright, you win.”, I said with a small grin on my face. You may think she's spoiled, or a brat, or maybe that I'm not firm enough with her, but once you see the faces she makes when she's sad, It's impossible to say no.

She immediately perked up, and ran to the TV. I followed close behind, and she gave me the remote control. I turned on the TV and changed it to the Hub. It turns out a My Little Pony marathon was just beginning. I knew right away Daisy would want to stay up late watching it.

I sighed, worrying about how I was going to be able to get enough sleep to make it through the next day.

What seemed like hours later, Daisy finally fell asleep on the couch. I was beginning to get tired as well, so I decided to fall asleep on the couch too, leaving the TV on.

"Daddy! Daddy please wake up!"

"Ugh..." I groaned.This is way too early to be waking up.

"Daddy, I'm scared!" Daisy wailed, too scared to say anything more.

I got the hint that something was up, so i stretched, yawned, and opened my eyes.

"What the actual fuck..." I said, not caring at the time if Daisy heard. She was probably too scared to care if i said a bad word or not anyway.

"Daddy. what happened? where are we?" Daisy asked, already panicked.

"I... I don't know..." I said, looking around.

We were in a wooded area, it was dark, except for the little bit of sunlight shining through the trees.

"Come on sweetie, we need to find our way out of here."

"I wanna go home!" Daisy whined, beginning to tear up.

"I don't know where home is, that's why we have to find it."

Daisy nodded, and we began our journey back to our home.

"Daddy i'm tired...",

"Want me to carry you?"

"Yeah."

I picked up daisy, hoping i didn't get tired out as well from the extra weight.

As i kept walking, I noticed a little shack a few hundred feet away. I doubted they had a phone, considering they were in the middle of the woods, but perhaps they could help us find our way out of the woods.

" Oh thank god..."

"What is it, Daddy?"

"There's a shack over there, they can tell us how to get out of here!"

I Noticed Daisy seemed to tense up. ever since her mother died, she never liked talking to strangers. I don't blame her either. even if she doesn't remember her mother very well, a death of a parent is a huge loss.

As i got closer, i noticed a gray shape in the corner of my eye. I turned my head to see what it was. It seemed as if it was putting mail into the mail slot on the door. Only half of it was visible through the trees, but i could have sworn it had a... tail...

"Umm, excuse me!" I called, trying my best to ignore what looked like a tail swaying around in the breeze. I seemed to have surprised the gray figure, for it jumped, scattering mail in all directions.

"Oh, excuse me, let me help you with that." I offered, my manners drowning out any doubt i had about the gray figure.

As soon as i saw the gray figure close up, my jaw dropped, and Daisy began whimpering. The gray figure had yellow mane, along with a matching tail. My suspicions had been confirmed.

It had a tattoo of  a few bubbles on its butt, and a brown mail bag draped over its shoulder.

By the look of things, the figure, which resembled a horse, was just as shocked.

My head began burning, and my vision started blurring, then everything went black.

Hey guys, I know this wasn't very long, but this is my very first Fanfic and before I continue, I need opinions! (And this is actually my very first story too.) I'd like it if you gave me some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism, please! (but do not be rude, I consider that as unnecessary criticism.)

Anyway, thank you for reading! I really appreciate it!

(BTW, I'm setting this as mature because there might be some adult scenes later on…)

I do not own My Little Pony.
