  I sat there at my table clutching my cup tightly. Everyone sat there in silence just thinking about the situation we're in right now. I mean seriously, who would've thought that we were going to be used as test subjects by being fooled that it was all just a game? Well, it doesn't seem like a game anymore, it just seems like real life all over again. Your die, you never come back, ever. And so far there have been 457 casualties. So everything's pretty much fucked unless someone finds the Elements of Harmony.

  That was the other thing that confused me. Anonymous said that he hid the Elements in different parts of Equestria. Yet Celestia said that she was going to call them... I guess he just sent the Jewelry pieces out instead of the actual Elements. Ah, thank god he was an anti-brony, so he didn't know what the actual Elements were. He probably did little research on the show before he put his plan into action, but what can I say? Not everyone's perfect, and Anonymous is clumsy by thinking that everything really was just a game when we have the actual population of Equestria looking for the Elements right now.

  I slouched back in my chair making it creak as I let out a heavy sigh. I glanced at Celestia, who didn't seem to be paying attention, she looked as if she was just staring off into space. I stood up and walked to her side.

"Something wrong?" I ask.

"No, I'm just worried that something wrong is soon going to happen." Celestia replied.

"Don't jinx it." I muttered.

  Celestia let out a light chuckle before walking off to her balcony, leaving me standing there alone. I smiled a bit, but it didn't last long. I looked around the huge lobby of the palace which all of the players took refuge in. I saw Michael with Mariesa holding hands as they walked about the halls of Canterlot. My heart sank a little bit at the sight. Back then before I acted the way I do now, I always happy and cheerful and didn't have such of stubborn attitude all the time. I remembered having a girlfriend who really cared for me and was always happy with me.

  But then... someone just had to run a red light.... and I'm pretty sure you can tell what happened... I was completely devastated and I felt like my happiness and perky attitude was stolen with my soul added to the mix. I felt like I had just lost the battle against life. And there was no rematch, but Michael, Jared, Ayden and Mariesa were there for me afterwards, always there to try to make me happy and cheer me up. But I was already too deep in my depression, it was almost scary.

  Then just at the last moment, I discovered bronies. I discovered My Little Pony and I found out that Jared, Michael, Ayden and Mariesa were bronies, and my hopes were brought up a bit. But that didn't stop me from forgetting what happened that day. And I just had to end up in this shithole. But hey, I'm in Equestria. It's just that, if everyone just gives up, then what? I might not be able to find another girl to love, or actually meet and love, so what the hell is the point?

  I didn't have time to worry about it, I still had a couple more questions to ask Celestia. I saw still on her balcony looking out to the stars as the moon shone brightly in the sky. I stood by her side, stargazing with her. I kinda forgot about asking her those questions for a few seconds before she took notice of me.

"Is there something you need?" She asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah." I said facing her. "I never asked, what was your reaction when everyone started showing up?" I asked.

"Well, I just thought it was normal because you humans had the technology and power to accomplish such a thing. But then after Anonymous showed up, and you uncovering those other alicorns, I realized that it everyone thought it was just a game and was being used." She replied.

"Ah. So you said that you were going to call the Elements, did you mean the Mane Six? Or the actual Elements of Harmony. Because I don't know if one of them is stuck in a room, or just both of them." I said.

"Well, surely the Mane Six would not succumb to Anonymous, they would do anything in their power to-"

"Celestia!" A familiar voice shouted.

  I looked past Celestia and saw them in all of their glory, The Mane Six. What I didn't expect was Rainbow Dash launching herself at me like a torpedo and crashing into me with a hard impact.

"Who are you and what do you want with the princess?!" Rainbow shouted in my face.

"Well, if you'd stop perforating my ear, maybe I'd tell you!" I shouted back.

"Rainbow Dash, please stand down." Celestia said calmly.

Rainbow Dash looked at Celestia, then glanced back to me.

"You're lucky punk." Rainbow growled in my ear.

  She trotted back to Celestia's side and glared at me. I have no idea what was wrong, but I had a feeling she really didn't like me. I sighed and stood up while dusting myself off. The rest of the Mane Six joined Celestia and Rainbow.

"Sorry about that," Twilight said, "Rainbow can be a bit-"

"Brash?" I cut her off.

"What was that?" Rainbow asked.

"I'm seven feet in front of you, how could you not hear me?" I asked.

"Hey, can you two just stop?" Twilight butted in.

"Well then. I guess I can. Only question is, can Rainbow?" I said with a smug smile on my face.

"You wanna keep talking ya little jerk?!" Rainbow screamed as she lunged towards me.

  I quickly summoned my scythe and hooked the blade around her and threw her to the side without harming her in anyway. She growled and continued lashing out at me. I kept blocking all of her attack and evading her lunges. I swear, I was having a boss fight right in front of everyone. I enjoyed it, because I honestly expected more out of Rainbow. But hey, I still don't understand how we have all of these skills, whats all that about? Oh well, I was more focused on just stepping two feet to the right and watching Rainbow fly past me.

  She jumped at me one last time before I spun my scythe around and jabbed her with the end of the handle, stopping the fight. Rainbow Dash groaned in defeat as I held her to the ground with a smile on my face.

"All right already, can you let me go now?" Rainbow asked.

"Sure can." I replied.

  I dropped my scythe and watched it disperse into pixels and fly into the cartridge in my back. Sighing, I backed up and fell into my chair. Although it was fun, it wore off quickly. I still had the whole, "stuck in Equestria" situation to handle.

"Cameron what're you-" Michael stopped and dropped his cup of water on the floor.

"God dammit Michael you're ruining Celestia's floor!" I exclaimed.

"Oh jeez, I'm sorry!" Michael shouted.

"I'm joking dude." I deadpanned.

"Oh." Michael sighed.

"But you still have to clean it up." I laughed.

  Michael grumbled and I laughed more. I stood up and walked away to get drink for myself. I always kept my eyes glue to the ground as if there I was on a never ending search for something that I lost. But the thing was, I didn't know what I lost in the first place.


Michael's Point of View.

  I dabbed the mop at the floor watching it instantly disappear and threw it to the side. I looked over to Celestia and the Mane Six and smiled. I walked towards them with a friendly greeting.

"Hi, I'm Michael, a friend of Cameron's." I said.

"Hello Michael. Hopefully you can be a bit less smartmouthed than Cameron." Rainbow muttered.

"Yeah, he can be like that sometimes. He's been so depressed ever since..." I stopped mid-sentence. I knew how much Cameron wanted to keep it a secret, and how much he hated it when I told other people about it because they would always go up to him and ask questions about it, because he always tried so hard to forget that moment Elizabeth died.

"Ever since what?" Celestia asked.

"N-nothing. He doesn't like talking about it, nor does he like me telling other people. But all I can say about it was that it was a terrible tragedy, and it's killed everything happy inside of Cameron." I replied.

"Well then let me throw him a party!" Pinkie shouted in the air.

"I don't think so, I think it would give a heart attack, the poor guy..." I muttered the last part.

  If he ever dies here, may god have his soul, and may he be reunited with Elizabeth. Otherwise, Hell and Earth is simply torture for him...
