Cherish Memories

It’s been ten years since my family died. Ever since then, my uncle has been treating me like a little witch and I sometimes use that to my advantage. Whenever someone would pick on me, or call me down…that’s the last of them. But back to the story…It was the middle of winter, the year twenty one twenty. I had just finished my job being a delivery guy, delivering…pizzas to my last customers I checked my watch and I was really late for my curfew. Seriously, who orders pizza in eleven o’ clock in the night? I packed up my stuff, closed down the place and drove my way home. As I drove up the drive way I opened up at the garage door and next thing I knew in ten seconds I hear a glass bottle break on the door as it was coming up.

“Where were you, you bucking idiot!” An angrily voice shouted from up the house. Once again, I’m harshly greeted by my so called uncle.

“I was making a late delivery to some custom-! I was quickly interrupted by another bottle smacking me on the head and breaking on impact.

“Don’t give me excuses! No dinner for you, go straight to bed!” He shouted and slammed his window shut. I rubbed my head from where the bottle fell on me and I blew out a long sigh.

“It’s going to be one hell of night,” I said to myself and closed the garage door. I walked up to my room and as expected my uncle was fast asleep again. I opened my door and entered the safe solitary confinement of my room. I plopped down on bed thinking about if there was a life of happiness that’s the life I want. I snuggled in my bed and dozed away into sleep. But an uncertainty slips into my mind. I had this feeling like something out there is reaching out to me, calling me. I decided to sleep it all off. After all, I have to get up and three a.m. in the morning to open…sigh what a drag.

Somewhere in Equestria

In the land of Equestria, there was a small town that held happiness and peace at the same time. In the small town of ponyville, there lived a purple unicorn named Twilight Sparkle. She was walking in to the store because of an order of books had just came in for her.  As she was walking along the road, she was greeted by Pinkie Pie.

“Hey there Twilight, how are you doing?” Pinkie asked.

“Oh just fine Pinkie,” Twilight responded.

“I can’t wait for the comets tonight!” Pinkie said as she was bouncing up and down.

“Oh yeah, I forgot those were today, I got to study on some facts about those for the princess,” Twilight said.

“So did you hear the rumors?” Pinkie asked. Twilight raised an eyebrow.

“What rumors?” Twilight asked.

“Well, legend has it that if you wish on one of the comets when the celestial comets fall in the sky it can grant the one thing you desire the most! Mine is cupcakes, what’s yours?’ Pinkie asked.

“I don’t have a desire for anything. As long as it’s interesting,” Twilight alleged.

“Okay…oh and by the way I know you’re lying!” Pinkie said.

“What? How dare you say that Pinkie! I’m not lying about anything!” Twilight shouted.

“You want a special somepony to be with you huh?” Pinkie said as she winked at her friend. Twilight scoffed and continued to walk.

“That’s absurd Pinkie,” Twilight said.

“Okaedokie!” Pinkie pie said and continued to pounce up and down while walking with Twilight. As they approached the store, Twilight and Pinkie entered in. The shop owner saw his customers and welcomed them.

“Hello there Twilight! Come to pick up your order?’ The shop owner asked.

“Yes sir, here you go,” Twilight said as she paid him. The shop owner collected the money and gave Twilight her stuff.

“Oh by the way, the wishing comets are on tonight! If you’re lucky, the one that grants your wish is smaller than the rest, but yet is faster than them all. If you find it and close your eyes and make a wish, I’ll happen,” The shop owner said.

“Oh, sounds exciting!” Pinkie said.

“Okay, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the books,” Twilight said.

“You’re welcome Twilight! See ya later!” The shop owner said. As Twilight and Pinkie walked out of the store, Pinkie realized something and gasped.

“I almost forgot! I was supposed to babysit the Cake’s babies today! See ya later Twilight!” Pinkie said as she dashed off to Sugar Cube Corners.

“See ya Pinkie,” Twilight said. As Twilight walked back to her house, it started to turn night very quickly. Twilight saw that Spike was fast asleep and she decided to continue with her studies. As she wrote down some notes on pre-colonial history, she saw the comets were falling from the sky already. She grabbed her solar studied book and ran towards her window balcony and was amazed at them. She then saw what looked like the smaller comet that flew fast by her eyes, just like what the shop owner had described. Twilight looked left; right, up and down to see if anypony was watching. She then closed her eyes and made her wish. “I wish I had somepony to be with…forever,” She silently said. She then went back into the room and continued her studies. Little did Twilight know, she should’ve watch what she wished for…because she was about to get it.

Back at Tokyo Japan

I had just delivered my last order of pizza to couple of kids who wanted it for a party. Let me tell you something, it was one hell of an order! As I was driving back to my house, I realized I had a call. It was my uncle. I picked up the phone and answered it.

“What the hell do you want old man?” I asked.

“Listen…I know I’m the last one to be speaking to you. But I need your help,” He said. I was surprised that my uncle wanted my help.

“Uh…Uncle, are you on crack?” I asked.

“Listen to me X, This is serious! You know those clients I was supposed to have a meeting with?” he asked. I remembered.

“What about them?” I asked.

“Well, those little crap heads are planning to shut down my house! I need you to call in Neko and his gang of cronies to get rid of those idiots!” He shouted. I blanked out at the last part, and as expected from my uncle, he sends my friends to do some shit job for him.

“…sigh. Fine, I’ll see what I can do,” I said.

“Thanks oh, and one other thing…IF YOU DON’T PUT GAS IN THE CAR WHEN YOU’RE DONE, YOU ARE BUCKING DEAD!” He shouted one last ime and hung up the phone. I sighed and rubbed my eyes as I dialed Neko’s number while driving in the road. I placed the phone back on my ear and waited for an answer.

“Hello?” A voice asked.

“Hey Neko? It’s me X,” U said. Nekobelic laugh over the phone.

“Well, well, well, if it isn’t the infamous X! Tell me, how is the old goat?” He asked.

“If you’re referring to my uncle…he’s still alive. Listen he needs you and his gang to do another job. I’ll throw in fifty large pizzas and some nip for you guys on the house,” I said. Neko laugh.

“…Alrighty then, what does the old face want us to do,” He said and I can tell his voice was a little shaky.

“Are you alright?” I asked.

“I’m fine! He shouted.

“You did it again didn’t you?” I said

“It was on sale! Fifty booze for half a dollar!” He shouted.

“Just get the job done and get some prescription. I’ll email the address to you,” I said. I type in the address and the location to him on his mobile. He studied the facts and sighed.

“Okay, well do it. Have a great night,” He said and hung up. As I drove up on the drive way again, a beer bottle fell on the hood of the car and shattered. I looked out of my window and saw my uncle.

“Is it done?” He asked.

“I sent him and his buddies the things. Plus some extra stuff. But yeah it’s done,” I said.

“Good, that’ll teach those rug buckets to mess with me!” He shouted and slammed the window shut. As I exit out of my car, I looked into the sky and to my surprise there were stars out! I never saw the stars out before like this. I decided to lean back on my car and look into the sky, still dreaming about a peaceful place. As I continued to look, I see one star fall from the sky faster than the other ones. I guess this was my luck day. I closed my eyes and made my wish.

“I wish I was somewhere peaceful and quiet to be in with someone,” I said. As I looked at the sky, the dark clouds from the nearby factories covered them back up and that ended my star gazing time. I walked back into my room and decided to kill some time going on my computer. I looked up on my Twitter account and some other sites as well, just to pass the time. I watched a couple of Markiplier and Pewdiepie stuff as my result of being bored. I was about to shut my computer down and go to the local bar, until the strangest thing happens. My computer shuts to a black screen and shows only a white bar on the top of the screen. ‘What the hell?’ I thought to myself as the screen started to freak me out. Then suddenly words start to form on the screen. I watch closely as the words started to form.

How are you young man? How are you doing?’ Seriously, that’s the first question it asks me? I sat down and watch as it continued to write more. This was getting real freaky.

Just Follow the instructions I’m about to give to you and you’ll get your wish...  Okay, now it even knows my name! I respond with my voice to the computer.

“Who the hell are you, and what do you want from me?” I asked. At first there was nothing, so I decided to type it, but an answer came back to me again!

...My name is irrelevant, and I don’t want anything from you X, I want to help you...I sat back and asked it again, this time I was dead serious about it.

“Help me with what?” I asked again. The computer took some time to answer my question.

With you wish of course! I can grant it for you. I can give you a happy life, a peaceful life, a loveable life...This couldn’t be a coincidence could it? I mean sure I wished on a star, but how did this piece of crap know about that?

How can you give it to me?” I asked. The computer showed some direction on the screen that I had to follow. First it told me to place my left hand on the screen of the computer, next it told me to sit up straight and keep still, finally it said to pressed the Enter key and it will happen. I didn’t know what do think about this, but if this computer can give me a happy life, then I’m willing to get it. I did everything the computer told me to do and finally, all I had to do was press the Enter key. My heart started to beat rapidly and I started to sweat actually as well. I closed my eyes and prayed to God to keep me safe! I pressed the Enter key and at first there was nothing… I think I missed as step or something? I followed them all. Just as I removed my hand from the screen, a flash of light shot through my computer and flashed on me. I covered my eyes as the light shinned through my room. Then I look at my hand, it was being digitalized! I started to panic as my whole body started to as well! I screamed as the digitalization went all the way to my face and soon there was a nothing but silence in my room.

“HEY YOU LITTLE-! Huh, he must’ve left to go eat or something. Fine by me,” My uncle said as he shut the door. But what he didn’t know was that I wasn’t out eating, I was out being teleported to somewhere else, far from him, and far from where I was living. I was being teleported to my so called wish and it was painful enough to find it.

“Why…where…are...you…taking…me!” I strained and tried to speak. The computer somehow responded to my answer with a voice this time!

“I’m taking you to a place where you have a decision…you can stay where you were, and live a life of death, or live a life of peace and happiness,” The voice said. I felt a strong surge of power flowing into my vines and a burning pain inside my head.

“It…hurts…so…bad!” I screamed.

“Just relax, where here,” The voice said and soon enough the end of the portal shot me out and sent me flying into an unknown area, where I fell and ram my head into a tree and fainted due to the impact. As the portal closed away, I was laying in the middle of nowhere in the dark, sleeping away from my head encounter by a tree. Being oblivious to what went around me. I grunted in pain as I came to and found myself in some sort of field outside. Where the hell did that thing send me? I got up, and looked at my arm; cut and broken, it was busted up pretty bad. Must’ve happened when the tree caught my fall when I fell out of the portal.

“Great…now…grunt…i…got…to…find…a…place…to…rest,” I strained and got up, holding my right arm in pan and limp walking through the floor. I then heard some noises and voices from behind me. Crap, I can’t be caught by anyone; they might think I’m an alien. I sprinted up as fast as I can, still in pain, but nothing compared to what those feds will do if they catch me. I ran so fast that I came to a forest and had no other choice; I went in the dark woods, oblivious about what was going too happened to me in there.

In Ponyville

As Twilight woke up, she wondered what in the world was that sound. She got up, rubbed her eyes and looked out her window to see. She saw what looked like smoke and some fire in the fields of ponyville. Some of the local ponies around woke up and walked outside to see what had happened.

“Spike…Spike…Spike wake up!” Twilight said as she shook him. Spike got up yawned and saw Twilight standing right in front of him.

“What is it Twilight? I was sleeping pretty well, He said.

“Something is wrong! Everypony is going outside to see what had happened. Something might’ve crashed in the fields of ponyville,” Twilight said. Spike didn’t cared and fell back to sleep. Twilight got up, and ran outside to see what was at the site. Many of the ponies were wondering what had took place, and some of the ponyville police were blocking the entrance. Twilight sees her friends, who were asking what had happened.

“Twilight, what are you doing out here?” Apple Jack asked.

“I was about to ask everypony the same question,” Twilight said.

“They said some crazy blue light shinned out of nowhere and there was a loud boom after that,” Rainbow Dash said. Twilight felt like there was something else wrong. She looked from the corner of her eye and noticed something.

“Hey girls…haven’t anypony notice something?” Twilight asked. The others nodded their heads no.

“…Look at the floor. Footprints, they must belong to some rare creature,” Twilights she walked up and studied them.

“They look like it’s is in some sort of trouble.” Fluttershy said.

“How can you tell?” Twilight asked.

“Well, look. The way the prints are walking, the poor thing must be in pain, but I never seen any footprints like this before,” Fluttershy said.

“You can say that again Fluttershy sweetie. I mean, look, what are they? I never seen that kind of walk pattern before,” Apple Jack said.

“Whatever it is, lest follow these prints. Come on girls,” Twilight said. As they followed the prints, they studied the trace of how they were leading, they were awfully weird. They continued to follow them until the front came to a stop.

“Oh no…the prints continue on, but it lead straight into…The EverFree Forest!” Twilight said. The others gulped in fear as they saw the dark woods were even more eerie in the night.

“Well it’s gone; maybe it’s just dead, good night!” Rainbow Dash said and tried to fly off, but if it wasn’t for Twilight who grabbed her with her magic she would’ve been back at her house.

“Oh no Rainbow…the poor creature is alone and hurt in there. We have to find it and bring it back to the Library,” Twilight said.

“Uh, I knew you were going to say that,” Rainbow Dash said as she followed the others into the EverFree Forest.
