Welcome to Owl City
Chapter 2
Previous ChapterLuna soon brought the night upon the land of Equestria. Adam paced back and forth in the room he had met the mysterious mare earlier that day. He looked up to the window. He had suffered with insomnia since he could remember, every night was different. Tonight was one of those nights he couldn’t sleep a wink. He walked over to the storage bins in the right corner of the room. He was looking for his grandfather’s medal he gave him when he was still young. It was a bit weird when ponies first heard it, but his grandfather was a griffon.
“Oh, were did I put his medal of Valdor!” He snapped as he tossed trinkets and knick-knacks across the room. He couldn’t have lost it, he knew that.
“I made sure it was in here this morning! It was here this morning” He stated to himself, starting to worry. All of a sudden a thought popped into his head.
“That rabbit” He stated. He spread his wings and flew out the window. He took his time flying over to the mares house. And as soon as he was in her backyard, he looked for her room. He noticed a pony pass in front of a second story window. Recognizing the mare, He flew up to the window, and tapped the glass a few times. Fluttershy turned around quickly, only to see him at her window. She opened it, and looked at him.
“Hi” She whispered “Is there something I can do for you?” she mumbled.
“Did your rabbit take a medal, shaped like a star, a green gemstone in the center?” He asked.
“that was yours, oh no!” Fluttershy squeaked
“What?” He questioned.
“I’m sorry, a few of the dogs I take care of got at it, I’m so sorry!” Fluttershy whimpered going over to her side table and coming back with his grandfather’s medal, all chewed up and the fabric with the pin for wear on a suit ripped up. Adam sadly looked at the destroyed medal. He sighed and sat on her windowsill.
“It wasn’t your fault.” He whispered. “You didn’t know”
“Are you okay” Fluttershy asked quietly
“Yeah” He started he let a small, sad chuckle leave his lips. “My grandfather would be yelling at me by now” he told her “Dear Celestia Adam, you’d lose your head if it weren’t attached to your body. Look at it, it’s garbage now!” He told himself, like he was his grandfather. He let another sad chuckle leave his mouth.
“Adam, that’s your name?” Fluttershy asked
“Yeah, my… my grandfather was a griffon, I know it’s weird, but, he chose my name, and he chose Adam” he told her quietly. “It means earth in griffon” He added in a whisper. He looked at the moon.
“I’m probably not going to sleep tonight.” He mumbled. Fluttershy looked at him.
“But aren’t you tired?” She asked.
“I have insomnia” He told her quietly
“What?” She questioned
“I can’t sleep some nights, some nights I crash at three in the afternoon” He told her quietly. “It all depends on what’s going on up in here” He whispered, poking himself on the side of his head.
“Oh” Fluttershy yawned.
“I shouldn’t keep you up” Adam mumbled. He spread his wings. “See you tomorrow, maybe?” He added before he made his leave.
“Maybe” Fluttershy yawned. Adam nodded, and took off towards his house. Looking back as Fluttershy closed her window, and walked towards her bed. Adam started to fly towards his house again, he noticed that his brow was sweaty, and there was this fluttery feeling in his stomach. He landed back in the room where he started out, he put down his now, trashed medal. And turned to his keyboard. He opened up his laptop, and set up his keyboard by using a small cord to plug both devices into each other. With another cord he set up a microphone. He turned on his keyboard, and the program on his computer, and started to make a new song. He played a few notes making a melody, and soon started to sing.

He finished it up. And titled it gold and saved it on his laptop. He shut his operation down for the night as a sense of drowsiness came over him. He looked to the clock on the wall; it read 1:49 am on it. He walked over to the couch in the room. And lay down. And a few seconds later, Adam had crashed, and he was sound asleep, unlike other nights.
