Why Equestria?

"No way in all of time and space am I watching that show. NO. Way."

"You've been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately. How about some MLP?" I ask hopefully.

"Never."

I sigh. Me, Branden, and Lexi had finally gotten Anthony over here. Alexis agreed because she had read cupcakes and wanted to compare, but Anthony still refused. I sigh, and tell him,

"Oh, come on, you saw the first two episodes you said, right? Why not watch another?"

Anthony ignores the begging tone I give him, and holds his ground.

"Because, I watched them against my will. I don't want to watch one of my own free will." He then turns around, acting like a four year old.

      You may wonder what exactly is going on, seeing I gave no explanation. I'm Cassy Marksman, a fourteen year old stuck in a household of people who have nothing in common with me. Yeah, weird name, I know, but I'm stuck with it. I felt like a waste of space, a background character with little purpose. I enjoyed being alone, not wanting to ruin anything else. I'm a total klutz, and manage to end up ruining everything I touch. I developed a small split personality, in that time, one that was psychotic. I was in a tough spot. One night, I was bored. I saw My Little Pony, and thought to myself, 'I cannot believe that I might actually watch a show meant for my four year old cousin.' But, I was bored, and watched it, ready to criticize it at school the next day, maybe exaggerate a few things to sound funny. But, I was soon proved wrong by episode three.

       My sister walked in, and she laughed at me.  But I didn't care then, and I ended up watching every episode over the course of the next few weeks. I was sad when it ended, but I felt happier, and the split personality disappeared. I rewatched the episodes when I wanted to. At school, I was stuck in a homework club thing, and that was where I met Lexi. We talked a bit, but the show never came up though, in fear of criticism and a bad rep. A couple weeks later, though, she dropped her art book. 'Ponies' was the only thing I said. She turned bright red, but I didn't taunt, I didn't tease. I just said, 'I'm not the only one?' We talked for a bit, and became good friends. After that, I went home and got on my Ipad laptop thing and looked it up. I was overjoyed when I found out that tons of people watched the show, and then I found Fimfiction by mistake. I loved what I read, and soon created an account. I met Anthony and Branden in band class, and Alex during gym when I tripped over her foot when she was sitting. I introduced her to Creepypasta, and she loved it, Branden loved MLP too, and I got Anthony into Doctor Who.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the story.

          My friend Branden sighed. He was the only guy here besides Anthony, and although it never bothered him, my mom was against bronies, and said a few rude things. Maybe if she saw Anthony watch the show and, hopefully, enjoy it, she might think differently of bronies.

Or she might think that all of my friends are total weirdo's, and I need a better social life. Either way, Anthony needed to at least pretend to like it. So, we were very persistent. Angry, I yelled,

"I SWEAR, IF YOU DON'T WATCH THIS SHOW, I WILL TAPE YOUR EYES OPEN AND FORCE YOU TO WATCH IT!"

His eyes widened.

"Wait, what!?"

He didn't sound scared, so I knew he was thinking of something dirty.

You know, I might need some new friends.

"Not like that, stupid. Just watch it."

Now, You might think that because he thought dirty, he liked me.

Wrong.

We didn't like each other, and that was how things shall remain. He's almost as bad as my friend Kailie, who was busy. Alexis was getting visually impatient.

"Come on guys! I wanted to watch the show so I could compare it to the Cup-"

I put a hand over her mouth, and whisper angrily,

"Shh! My mom doesn't know about the pastas! I thought I mentioned this when I told you no cussing! Do you WANT me in trouble?"

It was a hushed whisper, but Alex quieted down.

"Sorry, but you said we could watch the episode Party of One, where Pinkie Pie goes a psychotic!"

I facepalm.

"You do know that she goes back to normal by the end, right?"

She laughs.

"Of course I know that, silly. I just need ideas for my Jeff fanfiction." I only facepalm.

Meanwhile, Lexi and Branden were having trouble convincing Anthony.

"I am never going to watch a show for little girls! Never!"

"Come on, just give it-"

I pause, noticing a high pitched whine.

"Why'd ya stop Cass?"

"Do you guys hear that, or is it just me?"

My friends looked up, and looked around the room, a look of confusion plastered on their faces.

"Umm, Cassy? Are you sure your just not hearing things again?"

I glared at Lexi, a bit annoyed. I didn't always hear things, but when I did, It was in a quiet area, and later on it always felt like Deja'vu.

"I told you, it's only occasionally! But seriously, it's getting on my nerves."

Anthony perked up.

"Wait, I hear it too..."

Alex stumbled a bit, and I yawned. Alex then asked nobody in general,

"Is anyone else tired?" Lexi sat down.

"Yeah, I don't remember being this tired..."

And with that, she passed out. Branden yawned and sat down on the floor.

"What time is it?" He looked ready to go to sleep. I looked at the clock, which was getting blurry.

"It's 4:07 I think..."

With that, the rest of us fell asleep on the spot.

I awoke groggily, and looked at my surroundings. Expecting the dullness of my living room, I'm surprised by the outdoors in a forest. I fully stand upon my hooves, and trot over to a weird flower.

Wait, HOOVES!?

I turn away from the flower and gallop over to a lake and look at my reflection. I was greeted by a dark purple Batpony, with a dark red mane. Where my eyes should be, were empty black sockets. I blink, and double check, and wonder how I can see. Then it hits me.

Why the hell am I a pony?

Crap.

I turned around, and saw my friends scattered around. Anthony was somehow in a tree. I smirked, knowing I'd be entertained when he woke up. That was when I noticed Alex stirring. She got up groggily, and looked to me, her sleepy just-woke-up demeanor still on her face.

"Cassy?"

"Yes Alex?"

"You're a pony."

I nod.

"Am I one?"

Once again, I nod my head, the universal signal of yes.

"You have no eyes."

"Yes, I'm aware."

"Ok then. Can I see myself?"

I step back, allowing her to notice the lake. She's a dark blue unicorn, and she has a blood red mane. Her eyes are a dark blue, and then I notice her cutie mark.

It's three cupcakes dripping blood, with a lightning bolt across each one. I face...hoof? Yeah, that sounds right. Then I realize, I never saw my cutie mark. I look at my flank and see its a note with a pencil, and the note looks blood stained, and says 'Help Me' on it. Then I hear someone else waking up, and when I turn around, it's Branden. He's neon orange with a black mane, and his cutie mark is a snare drum being hit.

Also, he's an Alicorn, about the same size as Twilight.

His eyes widen as he see's us, most likely not recognizing us. He just stands there, staring, until I facehoof.

"It's me and Alex. I also recommend looking in the lake."

He gallops over to the pond and stares at himself. Then he pokes his horn, and feels his wings.

"Wow."

I laugh, and say,

"It's pretty cool."

He then looks to me, looking a bit confused.

"How do you...?"

I shrug, and then we notice Lexi standing there. She's green pegasus, with a darker green mane with red in it. Her eyes are a light blue, and her cutie mark's an art pallet with paintbrush. She's also wearing a beret. Then, she says something really intelligent like.

"Uhhh... Huh?"

I look at her, sighing.

"Look in the lake."

She nods, and gallops over.

I then notice Anthony waking up. He sees us, and yells,

"WHAT THE FU-"

He was cut off when he started falling out of the tree, and hit the ground face first. I laugh.

"Wow, and your a pegasus!" He then looks to himself, and runs over to the lake, needing no advice.

"What the Hell happened to me!? And you guys!?"

We all shrug. He's a black pegasus, with bright, blood red eyes, and a dark brown mane. His cutie mark is a skull, and he has dark red glasses.

Branden speaks up first.

"Umm, where are we?"

I look around, and realize that the place is creepy. My eyes widen, and I say,

"The Everfree Forest."

My, Branden's, and Lexi's eyes widen, and Lexi yells,

"RUN!"

Me and Branden gallop after here, and Anthony an Alex just look confused, and Alex asks,

"Why? It's just a forest."

I call out behind me,

"Just RUN!"

The two take my advice and start running after me. After a while, we emerge in a small meadow, a village in sight. We slow down and catch our breath. After returning to normal breathing, I say,

"Well, guys, looks like we're in Equestria."
