A Year in My Care: A My Little Dashie Sequel

I live my life one day at a time.  Most of those days spent at school, or hanging out with the few friends I had back then.  Life to me was rather dull, always going through the same, boring routine.  But on a day that started out just like any other day, something extraordinary would occur that would change the way I lived my life forever.  It all started on that one morning....

"So where are you guys going while I work on a few of my projects?" asked my Dad.  Sipping on his morning cup of coffee in the living room.

"Well, I've decided that we'd go to Tanglewood park and take a walk.  I heard that not many people go there this time of year." My Mother exclaimed.  All dressed and ready to start the day.

My mom had never let me make any decisions of my own even though I was 14 years old now.  In fact the only decision I had really ever made on my own was that I'd never tell them that I was a brony. They knew I watched the show, but they didn't know just how much I really crazed over the show, nor the fact that millions of people WAY over the viewing age are big fans of the show.  They just thought since I generally watch a lot of cartoons that I just watched the show for being a cartoon.  Which wasn't entirely wrong.  After all that is what got me into the show, but I ended up liking the series a lot more after I discovered just how many people there were out there who were just like me.  Anyway, we got into the car and headed off to the park.  I felt that right then would be the best time to talk about that.

"Mom?"  I said, a bit hesitantly "Can I ask you something?"

"Well of course, you can ask me anything." My Mom exclaimed.

"Well......I-I wanted to know why I never get to make any decisions on my own."

"Why, I didn't realize that it was like that for you, I promise the next decision that needs to be made you can decide on your own.  Is that all right?"

"Yeah, I'd like that." I said kind of ticked that, after years of no freedom, this is how she compensates for it all.  But it was better than nothing, so I might as well take it.

So we arrived at the park,  to our surprise nobody else was there, we couldn't even see any employees.  Regardless, we started on our walk.  We saw a field off in the distance, the sun's glimmer making it look as peaceful as a woodland meadow.  My mother suggested that we play a bit of Frisbee to pass the time.  I still felt like I was being treated like a kid, but hey, maybe it'd be fun.  So we both walked out to the field and started to throw the Frisbee back to one another.  Despite being ticked still, I enjoyed the game.  I always was a big fan of outdoor activities, especially those that required some sort of skill.

"Heh, I guess being awarded captain of my school's track team wasn't for nothing."  I mumbled to myself.

My mother then requested that I give her a more challenging throw, saying that she wanted to 'put her skills to the test'.  In my mind I kind of rolled my eyes at that statement.  I mean, come on, what skills?  She's clearly out of shape, and she might even hurt her back if she dared jump higher than three feet.  But, on the other hand, I kinda have to do what she says.....  So I twisted the Frisbee in my hand and practically launched it across the field, and it actually ended up landing in some woods that I didn't even bother to notice until just then.  I was about to go retrieve it, but as I started, a certain shade of rainbow appeared in the corner of my eye.
