Magic and Humanity : One Big Step

I had to do things, things that didn't seem right for everyone, even me. I had to steal, I had to deal, I had to kill. All for a living, i only was stuck with only 400$, I had to live in a apartment, a terrible one. The walls were shredded, the paint was scratched, green mold in the shower and cabinets, and there was even druggies in the left and right next door rooms, one of them is a rock band, playing screamo loudly while shooting heroin or either snorting coke at about 2 AM. The other neighbor, "Jacob", is one of those 'Rasta' people, I would smell the pot he was smoking every day, smelled like a skunk farm in the room. we USED to have a normal neighbor, till he just committed suicide from all the debt he had from a mafia.

I work as a barista at Starbucks down on Circuit Lane (Fake), only earning 6$ a hour, I work all day and night, almost 7 nights a week, so much, that my sleep schedule is off track. I have 8 women at work, accusing me, saying I either raped them or either I am the father to their newborn daughter/son, saying I have to pay them 1000$ a week, 1000$ my ass.

It took me weeks to get a computer so I was able to look for jobs, more better ones, there was terrible ones. There was jobs for McDonalds, which is way less paid then what i get at Starbucks, Burger King, which has multiple dangerous hazards, including having to amputate one of your fingers from a fryer incident, Taco Bell, dont get me started on the racism complaints there.

Then there was one job, a job on craigslist stating "Work at home for free. No Scams, No Bargains and No Placements!". I called the number, scheduled a appointment and then started talking with the 'CEO'. He said that "The only way to work is to go to this website, order this Item, And send it to this address.".

I noticed that he was scamming me, he wanted me to buy him something just so he can save 100's of dollars off of stuff. I hung up, disappointed and sad. I went to bed that night, Begging to god to please bring something good, something that is normal. All i wanted, was a normal life, a home, family, kids, good job, and more. Then i realized i was just talking to a cieling, a voice yelled "Shut up!". I fell asleep that night.

I wake up, basically doing my morning routine. I get up and Walk to the bathroom grabbing my toothbrush and applying water and toothpaste to make a slightly softer toothbrush. I brush my teeth for around 3 to 9 minutes and spit out the toothpaste and washing it down the drain. I had to make the water last due to the bills I have to pay for water and electricity. I walk into the small cramped living room I have in my apartment and open the cabinet. Looking around, I notice something missing…

Basically my food was missing, all of it. I closed the cabinet and opened it again but no answer revealed. I had to go to the grocery store and apparently spend 170$ which is half of my entire bank account into an entire set of groceries. I came home driving into the parking lot when I noticed that I saw a shadow, not just a shadow, but a shape of a weird being, Belittled of myself of what has gone by my eyes, i continued grabbing my groceries and closing the doors.

Not only did it just make my head tilt, it made me curious that something or someone is stealing my stuff. I walk out of the car, slowly grab my groceries and quietly close my door. I walk over into my apartment, and walk into my house, noticing that nothing was missing. I walked over to the counter and putted my bag of groceries there. I feel a cold chill smearing down my spine as I hear creaking from upstairs and trotting noises.

I slowly walked upstairs and heard the Clicking starting to get louder in tone, and I start to hear someone talking…

“Dash, be careful!” the voice said quietly.

“You don’t know how hard this is Twilight...” another high pitched teenage voice said.

I smirked at myself thinking “These are just punk little teens; I might as well try to scare them off.”

I creaked up to the door, slowly turning the knob and then pushing the door, flinging the door open and surprising the unknown suspects, but suddenly turned out to be....'Errr, all I saw was some

“Horses?” I questioned myself as I looked at them, they were scattering around in a scared motion. “Apparently so, Horses can talk now?” I said to myself and to them.

“L-Look mister, we don’t want any trouble.” The purple unicorn said. Her mane was purple with a pink stripe in the middle, looking more of a 'Kawaii' Look.

“Look I just want to-“I stepped forward while talking to them and then that’s when the sky blue Pegasus struck me in the face, My ears went mute, Hearing a high pitched whistle in my left ear more than my right, blood was slithering down my mouth from my nose, as i started to blur out slowly.

“Rainbow Dash!” the purple unicorn specimen yelled. “What in Celestia's name is your problem!” the unicorn said as I was starting to go unconsious.

My eyes faded out as I could see nothing but pure darkness, flashing lights appearing in directions as I was looking around and a scarce pain in my head. My body felt warm, then started to turn cold. After that, all I could only feel the cold drift of the air lifting over my body and could hear the sound of the gazing wind, but I wouldn’t wake up.

I then start to feel a warm glistening aurora surrounding my body, lifting me up and dropping me into something, a box or a crate? I think a boat or something. The next thing I could only feel was bumping trotting and mysterious clopping sounds coming from the ground.

It’s either these ponies that I saw, they may be capturing me. Maybe taking me for experiments and probably slice my head open. Even worse, they could decapitate my entire body! But it was nothing like that; I felt my body land on a cozy cotton surface, a bed I suppose. I then hear them whispering to each other and then walk out the room, slowly shutting the door and that’s when the last things I listened to were just the bliss of silence.

[9 Hours later]

[9:10:00 AM, UNKNOWN_LOCATION]

I heard nothing until I saw that something was lighting up, a creaking door. I think it’s someone coming in, possibly the ponies or something else, I hid under the blankets that were covering me and as soon as I knew it, I heard a voice speak to me. A calm and subtle voice that really comforted me.

“It’s okay little guy” the voice said calmly to me, I then thought to myself “Me? A Little Guy? God sakes, I’m 23!” then I peeked out the blankets, seeing a yellow spot of fur then a furry yellow hooves touching my arms. I then peeked out and saw a yellow equine Pegasus, scratch that. A TALKING equine female Pegasus. I saw her then hid under the blankets again, thinking that she was going to probably attack me, but all I got was just her petting my arm. I then revealed my head, seeing 3 mares instead of 1 mare. One was purple, she had a nice purple stripe striking down till the drip of her mane. The other one was sky blue, had the eyes of an amethyst and a rainbow mane. The last one had a pink mane, eyes shining like diamonds and a face of a sweetheart. I got comfortable to how they looked, how they talked and how they interacted. I then just spoke my first words to them.

“H-Hi?” I stuttered to them all. They were confused by the way I looked. I was an alien to them and they are an alien to me. “Hello… Your name?” the purple equine mare questioned me. “Z-Zackary…” I stuttered once again. “Well, welcome Zackary; I am Twilight Sparkle, a fellow student of princess Celestia.” She said. “Wait, there’s a princess here?” I questioned, “Yes, we have 2 princesses that control the day and night, Luna, our princess, controls the moon and raises it every night. And Celestia raises the sun every morning!” Twilight said politely. “That makes sense I guess?” I said confused. I then looked over at the other 2 Pegasi, the blue one looked like she was sorry, probably sorry for trying to knock my teeth in. “H-Hey there...” the blue Pegasus said to me, “What do you want?” I said in a grouchy tone at her. “Look, my name is rainbow dash and...” she said trying to find the right words. “I-I’m….Sorry” She Desperately Said at me. “It’s okay.” I said to Rainbow Dash.

Today just turned into an awful turn of events. Me spending half of my bank account, ending up in some freaky dimension and last to top it off, me apparently meeting talking equine horses or as known as ponies as what they called them.

Life just started very stupid at that point, and I’m sure that magic and humanity, will be one big step.
