Chapters Chapter 1: How It All Started
Anger and sadness.
That's All I felt as I screamed.
"NO GO AWAY MOM!" I scream at my mother as I storm out the door. It was raining, cold hard rain, the smell of smog and wet pavement filling my nostrils. I hear her scream something back at me, I don't even look back, to try to prevent any further argument, I wish I had, cause little did I know I would never see her or any of my family again.
After an hour of walking, I stop at an old abandoned construction site my friends and I used to hang out at, they always told us to stay away, we never listened though. I walk up to our old meeting spot on the second floor parking area, memories, good memories, us sitting around drinking beer and doing stupid stunts in the construction area. I chuckle to myself thinking back at those good times, walking back down I realize the floor isn't as steady as it used to be five years ago, It crumbles. I fall, trying not to panic, I turn around to see what I will land on, I wish I hadn't.
"Hey, Matt come join us, there's this re-bar sticking out of the ground, we could have some fun with it heheh." My old bud Jake says too me. "Sounds good I'm coming." We decided it would be a good idea to spin with our heads on it, and then lean up and chug a beer as we come up. We did that until one of us puked.
'Can't believe, something we had such harmless fun with is gonna be my death heheh.' I think to myself as I feel a burning pain puncture through the back of my rib cage and go through my lung with a nasty stabbing and cracking sound. I started thinking back to a few days ago as I faded into darkness.
A Few Days Prior
I woke up to another glorious day. The sound of my obnoxious alarm clock going off. "Damn only 7 A.M." I say to myself as I get up and out of bed to start my day, brushing my teeth, shower, all that jazz. I finish just in time to say Good Morning to my mother and grab a bite before work. I'm 21, 6 foot 1 inch, and I'm 365 Pounds, I have long brown hair, I worship My Little Pony and Love playing video game, I love my mom, and work a dead end job at a Pizza Hut, I have a great life am I rite. Wrong. While everything may seem fine and dandy, it's not, I suffer from depression. All my life I've been alone save for my two lifelong friends and family.
Jake: He's a stocky fellow, about the same height as me, LOVES to eat, and can always make you laugh, there to pick you up when you're feeling down.
Nathan: A much more shy fellow, shorter than me I would say exactly 5 feet tall, skin and bones, but he also loved to eat never gained though, he was more of the fighter of the group people would always pick on him for being skinny, and for would pick on me for being fat, but Him, Jake, and I always looked out for each other we didn't put up with no shit.
Now, you're probably wondering,'Why is he depressed, if he has two amazing friends?' Well I'll tell you two years ago we were all out partying and Jake and I were drunk off our asses while Nathan stayed sober too drive us home, too bad that other driver had been drinking as well. He had his headlights off, we never saw him coming. He crashed directly into us killing him instantly they all said, sent Jake flying through the wind shield (He was in the front seat, I was in the back), Nathan, he didn't stand a chance, he hit the steering wheel with enough force too shatter his skull and break his neck, he too died instantly, I however got lucky, I wish I had died with them, instead I survived by being put in a drug induced coma, so I would be able to stand the pain. I awoke a year and a half later, wondering where Jake and Nathan were, I broke down when I got the news. Been depressed ever since, I turned to the internet and video games, I found My Little Pony and the brony community three months after I got out of the hospital. Ponies helped my depression, but not by much got me back up enough to get a job and my life straightened out.
Enough about that though, You're probably wondering 'Well where the fuck are the ponies at?!' Well chill I'm getting too it. The rest of the next three days came and went as normal, until the day of anniversary that my friends died.
I had woken up that day late, cause I never go to work on the anniversary of my best friends death. I always make a point to pay my respects at their graves. I come home to find my mom waiting on me with a concerned expression. 'Oh God, here we go'.
"Son, It's been two and a half years now, don't you think it's time to let their deaths go?" She Asks. "Don't do this mom, you know I'm not in the mood today."
"Son we need to talk about this, I know it bugs you but, I still think you need to let it go." she says getting more serious "Mom you know I can't do that, and besides what the hell is there to talk about, I've already talked to you about this hundreds of times before." I say trying to hold back my anger. '*SIGH*, I really don't want to have this talk.'
"You know it wasn't you-" she says before I cut her off. "WASN'T MY FAULT!? WASN'T MY FAULT!? IF IT WASN'T FOR ME SUGGESTING WE GO OUT FOR DRINKS THAT NIGHT IT WOULDN'T OF HAPPENED, IF IT WASN'T FOR ME WE WOULD'VE NEVER WENT DOWN THAT GODDAMN DIRT ROAD!?" I say raising my voice to a scream. "THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY BEFORE YOU SAY IT." I say as I break into tears. "I'm going for a walk, please don't follow me, I just need to calm down." I say proceeding to storm out the door.
"No son, wait." she says trying to get me to stop. "NO GO AWAY MOM!" then in a flash I find myself wake up in darkness. 'Well damn guess I died heheh.' I think to myself as I let myself float through darkness void of all light. 'Hmm... So this is death huh, a bit more darker than what I was hopi...wait wha!?'
I get a sensation of what feels like being pulled, as I see a light come towards, I blink for a second, and find myself diving head first into a nice patch of green, 'Oh boy, not again.' I think as I hit the ground and fade into unconsciousness.
Chapter 2: Waking In Equestria
I awake to darkness around me, "Ugh, Where am I?" I think out loud. 'Wait.' I start to get a sudden flash of memories from what happened before I woke up, 'The fight with my mom, the fall, the darkness, I remember now.' Still doesn't answer where I'm at. 'Well guess I better get to walking' *AWHOOO* 'On second thought I'll just stay right here.' I think too myself as I look around for firewood. "Ahh, a nice warm fire, hopefully that will keep any animals and unwanted bugs away." I say as I drift off too sleep.
"...do you think of...." I hear a voice say of course I think I'm still dreaming. "....I don't know Applejack...." 'Heheh I love pony dreams.... although this one is kind of a bit too real.' ...Wait. My eyes shoot open too the bright light of the sun overhead. *Now, I had just woken up and when I first wake up my eyesight is really blurry whether or not I have my glasses on or not, done it my whole life, now back to the story* Of course I have to close my eyes back to prevent myself from going blind. I rub my eyes too get all of that crusty shit out of them, to open them back up too what looks like some small dogs standing in front of me. EYESIGHT RETURNING, NORMAL BRAIN FUNCTIONS ONLINE, NOW REGISTERING SURROUNDING, ....INITIATING BRONY FREAKOUT* 'Oh my god, I can't believe I have a very confused looking Twilight and Applejack sitting in front of me.... must resist urge to hug *fanboy squee's*.'
The three of us sit there for awhile, I'm sure a thousand thoughts going through their heads, I know my only thought at the moment 'OMG OMG OMG' and 'SQUEE' *Yeah I'm a dork leave me alone T.T*. Finally Twilight breaks the silence, "Um, are you ok, your kind of scaring me." she says as I realize I have a goofy grin plastered to my face. "Oh sorry about that it's not everyday a person of my species gets too meet talking ponies." ....Yep I broke them..... "Um, are you two okay?" I ask. "Yes we're fine, we just didn't expect you too be able to speak Equestrian." 'Hmm... Seems Legit.' "What are you?" I hear Applejack ask I guess snapping out of her shock. "I am a human, I'll explain everything I can too you both but first, would it be alright if we got off of this ground, I spent enough time down here all last night." I say standing up. ......ANNNDDD I broke them again..... "Sorry about that, I didn't think I would surprise you with my size." I say crouching back down. "You see back where I'm from other humans can range from, and I'm going by the measurement system we use in America, which is a country on my planet called Earth, which is in th....." I get cut off by Twilight. "No offense but I think you're rambling." "Sorry I have a bad habit about doing that, anyway we can up too anywhere from four feet too six feet, and in some rare cases there are other humans that can get up too 8 feet tall. "That's as tall as one our apple trees." Applejack says with an astonished look on her face. "Oh wow trees where I'm from get up up twenty feet or more, Oh the names Matthew by the way." "My name is Twilight Sparkle." "An' Ah'm Applejack, Nice tah meet yah."
After me telling them a little bit more about the human race, we start walking down a dirt path that I assume either leads too Ponyville, or even Sweet Apple Acres. "So where are we going, you guys?" I ask being careful not to trip over a loose rock. "We're going to Ponyville, where I can send a letter too the Princess and hopefully get the other girls too come meet you." Twilight says right as we walk into the market district of Ponyville. "Woot, I love making friends." I say looking like an dork, and getting a chuckle out of Twilight and Applejack. "Then Pinkie Pie and You will get along just fine, Well how about we get too the library so I can get to introducing you too the others and write that letter too Princess Celestia." "Well let's go shall we." We get into the normal part of Ponyville, we pass all the colorful buildings and Sugarcube Corner, and the Carousel Boutique. And all during that time I'm getting odd looks from everypony that we pass, It's Okay though cause I was being goofy and some of them would laugh at my antics.
We arrive at the library, too find Spike inside cleaning and stocking the bookshelves. "Hey Twilight, Applejack is that a dragon?" "Yes that's Spike, he's My number 1 assistant." Twilight says looking over to him with pride. "We should scare him." I say with a mischievous grin. "An' how do you suppose we go about doin' that?" Applejack asks. "Simple, you both go in and greet him, and then I come in and act like a big scary monster, It's gonna be great." "Sounds good, just don't cry when he mauls you Matthew." "Don't worry Twilight I've got this." I say smugly boy was I wrong.
"Spike I'm home." "Oh hey Twilight, hey Applejack." "Howdy Spike." 'Heheh this is gonna be good.' I think too myself grinning like crazy. "RAWR I AM A SCARY MONSTER!" I scream walking in and spooking Spike. "Twilight Applejack run I'll fend off the monster." He says jumping at me and at that moment I realized maybe this wasn't such a good idea. And during all of this Twilight and Applejack are watching this and rolling on the floor laughing. 'Fine, laugh at my pain ....I guess I brought this on myself.' "All right that's enough punishment for one day, I think you got him Spike." Twilight says wiping a tear away with her hoof. "HIM, that things a him?" Spike says. "Hey I take offense too that... I think." "Yes Spike, this is Matthew, He's a human from another world, we were gonna send a letter to the Princess and get the others over here too introduce him, but he figured he would scare you before he met you." Twilight says. "Boy was that a bad idea, I didn't think a baby dragon would be so strong, Do you work out or something dude?" I say too Spike, Which makes him start beaming. 'Getting on Spike's good side. Phase one complete.'
"So guys how's about we get to sending that letter." I say trying to change the subject. "Right Spike take a letter." Twilight says to Spike as he pulls a letter out of nowhere. 'The Pinkie is strong with this one.'
"Dear Princess Celestia,
I have found somepony named Matthew, He calls himself a Human and says he from another world called Earth. You have no need to worry about us or him because he is quite nice, yet very goofy, he says that he would love too meet you one day, and something about do you like bananas. I will continue to study this human and help him fit in while he is here in Equestria.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

Chapter 3: Songs and Sad Stories
"Well I sent the letter Matthew, we should expect a reply anytime soon." Twilight says turning towards me. Of course I'm not paying attention while humming this song and thinking about home, and suddenly realizing how hard this is starting too hit me.
I'm obviously making some kind of face cause Twilight gives me a worried expression and asks, "Are you Okay?" "Hmmm.. Oh yes I'm fine Twilight I was just thinking about home is all, It's kind of depressing worrying about how your family is doing." I say trying not to sound depressed. "Well maybe if the Princess comes to Ponyville to meet you maybe she can find a way to send you back." She says with confidence in the Princess. "Impossible Twili...." She cuts me off, "This is the Princess I'm positive she could find a way to send you back." she looks towards me annoyed as if I doubted the Princess. "Twilight I'm not doubting the Princess, so stop looking so annoyed please, it's just.... I don't think you can bring back what's already gone." I say still trying not to get emotional.
"....What do you mean bring back what's gone?" she asks confusedly. "....Twilight .....I ... I died on my world." I say with a few tears running down my cheeks. "I had gotten into a fight with my mother over something I don't want to talk about right now, so I stormed off into the freezing rain, towards an old parking building, the... The floor collapsed, and I fell and was impaled by a metal pole, ....I never got to say I'm sorry to my mother or say that I love any of my family members, it just happened, That's why I was humming that song and was being so distant after the letter was sent, and ...I think that's the main reason why I'm trying to be so cheery, So You/I don't have to think about it. " We both say at that last part, her with tears running down her face and of course I wasn't fairing to well either.
"I'm ....I'm sorry Matthew." she says. "Don't be Twilight, you have nothing to be sorry for, as the saying on my planet goes stuff happens, heheh, .....except a little more ruder I suppose would be correct." We both sit there in silence for a minute or two before she asks, "Is it okay if I could hear that song you were humming?" "Of course Twilight, it was one of my favorite songs from a game I used to play, It was called The Song of Healing. It's a song that when listened to, it is believed to heal you spiritually, and in many ways it's helped me...if you want I can sing it." I say "Sure I would like that Matthew."
Day to night, dark to light, Fall the sands of time. Let the years like the gears Of a clock unwind
In your mind walk through time Back to better days. Memories, like a dream, Wash tears away.
Like a star in the sky, Darkness can't reach you Light the night, joy is light, Till the new dawn.
Cast away your old face Let go your spite, With this mask I'll ask To borrow your light
I had finished the song, starting to feel a little bit better, but of course that is why it's called the Song of Healing I suppose. "That ....That was beautiful." she says looking a lot better than before. "Yeh it's a very haunting song, but in a way, even though it has no magical properties, it heals you, and makes you feel better, .....heheh it would be funny if a mask fell off of one of our faces." I say laughing at my inside joke. "....heheh what?" she asks with a chuckle. "Oh nothing Twilight just an inside joke from the game." I chuckle back. "Hmm... wow it get's nighttime, early here in Equestria, I suppose I should go hunt around, for some wood and su...." she cuts me off ....again. "Oh no you're staying here I have both a couch and a spare room, take your pick." she says. "Hmm..... I think I'll take the cou....." SHE CUTS ME OFF AGAIN WTF MAN. "Spare room it is then."
We both got everything ready for bed and Spike and I both made sure the books were clean and such, before we all sat down and ate dinner, it was hay roast, that for some reason tastes exactly like eating pork roasts..... I blame magic. And after that we all went to bed so we can get a head start on what awaits us the next day.
A/N: Sorry if it wasn't a long chapter I just ran out of shit to write about. Sorry :(
