Monochrome Diaries

"Uff... Uff... Uff..." I'm panting after a rough volleyball training. Even though my team lost, I'm smiling and happy because it was a great game after all. My bag is filled with my after-game stuff; two towels, clothing, a pair of tennis and two water bottles. I close my eyes and relax once again before wiping my sweat off, and raise my head to the gym roof above me. I turn myself off from the world for a few seconds, and when it lasted, I could only hear my brething, feel the sweat on my face falling to the sides and the sweat in my neck falling to my orange n' black uniform. My wet and curly hair of the color black also drops sweat, but it doesn't hit any part of my back. I come back when I hear a volley ball being hit from the court and bouncing on it right away. "Time to take off," I whisper to myself. I withdrawal one of my towels from the bag, place it on my left shoulder and walk away, waving goodbye to everyone. "See ya, people."

On the way home, my sweat has already gone and I didn't lose the chance to listen to my favorite band, Coldplay. The distance between my home and the gym is not that far away, so I could only hear to three or maybe four songs. I'm not really in a rush so I enjoy the view around me; the buildings can be blocking the view of the sky, but the art on the walls make up for the lost vision of a vast world. "Great job they've done here, I must say... although not quite my style of art." I kinda forgot to say I love to draw manga. It's not only fun, but also fulfilling when you finish it; it's just like winning a game of any kind. The exact same feeling.

My home can be seen from where I am now. My neighbor is washing his yard right now and his dog is playing with a lil' plastic chicken, biting and swinging it one side to another. I can see happiness overflowing from the dog while playing by himself. I want a doge for me, I think. My loneliness' so immoral. I have many friends which I can count on around, but I've always felt like... I'm alone. Maybe that's why I want so much a dog; he or she wouldn't be judging my actions and will always be loyal and kind to me. Different from many humans I've met... disgusting they are. I let out a sigh and wave greetings to my neighbor with a smile, before reaching the front door of my house. I pick up my key from the right pocket and unlock it to enter.

My living room is just like it was before I took of to college; everything in the right place. The television is off and I intend to leave it like this for today; all I want to do right now is relax and sleep for the rest of the day. I throw my bag to the couch, see in my cellphone that it is already after seven o'clock, throw it with the bag and run off to the kitchen. When I open the fridge, I can see plenty of food, but I don't want to eat right now so I grab the milk from the fridge door and place it on the table next to it. Next I walk to the sink and wash a glass as fast as I can, so I can drink it as soon as possible. I place it next to the milk and don't wasste time to pour the liquid inside it.  With a double gulp, I end the milk inside the glass and put the same back in the sink. Imagination says... a huge bear is running towards me and the only place safe is my bedroom. AAAAAAAAH!!!, then I start running just like a desperate retarded towards my bedroom. Heheh, what can I say? I pulled it out from mother's side.

After I rushed towards the room and bumped in some furniture of my house, I reached my room with no problems and got myself safe from the bear's claws. I felt a little bit victorious. The complete silence is only interrupted by the ticking of my clock on the side of my bed. tick, tick. tick, tick. Never, stops. Sounding, this... "YAAAWN," I yawn and immediately close my eyes, putting a smile upon my face. I wonder how would it be if... I was living... in... Equestria...

I'm a brony. People around me don't really know I'm into a little girls show,  but I don't really hide. You just got to ask and I'll definetly say the truth. Plus, I don't think it's a little girls' cartoon, I thinnk it's for everybody, just like barbie or the littlest pet shop. Not that I like these shows -- In fact, I hate Barbie -- it's just that it's not fair that a growns up man or a little boy has got the curiosity to watch it and due some people judgement they end up not liking it.

"Uh..." I wake up still with my head turned towards the bed. It irritates me to wake up. ANYTIME. ANY. FUCKING. TIME. I groan in protest, trying to get back to sleep, but the bed seems rather uncomfortable right now and the weather seems to be oclder than usual. Great. A fucking morning cold. You made my day, life, and truly deserve a reward. Why don't you get the opportunity and just go, uh, I dunno, FUCK YOURSELF WITH THIS COLD FUCKING WIND, I thought to myself. It was supposed to be a normal morning, with breakfast, college, volleyball training, greetings to the neighbor and coming back home to draw, write or sleep. Although, as if it wasn't enough giving me this uncomfortable experience with my bed and a winter cold wind, life made the decision to move me out. Of Earth.

When I rose from the bed, as usual I opened the curtains and looked outside to judge if the weather would be my mom's feet, Antartida, supercold, cold, medium, hot, superhot, sun, Ilha Solteira. Instead of judging the weather, I decided to admire a view I've never seen before. For some unknown reason, I'm seeing the horizon being hit by the sunlight of the morning and the cold wind became delightful when the sound of leaves dancing came to dance in my ears to. "Amen to that," I say with a thin smile. "Now to the main question, WHERE THE FUCK AM I?!

Before panicking, I decided to take a shower and put everything randomized in my head to their respective places. While I take the shower, I sing:

Sunshine, sunshine.

Lady bugs awake.

Clop your hooves, and

Do a little shake!

I cease the shower and dry myself up to put on some decent clothes; time to look around for some clues and solve the mystery of my house. In the living room, I grab my notebook so I can write down about the places I'll walk around and as much details as I can. Obseration mode, Engage.

...

I just left home and for some completely unknown reason, I feel for the first time in years... sure. Like, everything I've ever done in my life it's been doubted before I've done it, but now I really feel that the absolute right thing to do is to explore the surroundings of my house. "As I've alread seen the north side of my house, time to see south, west and east," I mumble to myself, getting ready to take notes. On the side of the east, everything is the same as north, although it has a forest with quite hostile image. South, not too far away from the forest, I can see a humble cottage with plenty of mini houses for animals and what appears to be a sleeping grizzly bear. Okay, that's the last place I wanna seek for right now... Rush now quiet now, dear bear. Don't mind me here, I think to myself. And all my expectations for something more amazing than a sleeping bear near someone's cottage were extremely low. Until I saw west side.

"It... can't be," I mutter again in awe to the vision of a small city with a big crystal castle in the middle of it. Houses were nearby this castle and what appears to be a tower is in the middle of it all. Of all the possibilities of what could've happened, this was most likely the last one I'd be expecting to be. Right in front of my eyes, reside one of the most important places on this world... of Equestria. "PonyVILLE!!! YEAH!" I cheer, unable to explain the level of happiness and excitement I am experiencing this moment. Jumping up and down, I kind of threw rigorously my notebook and my pen to the grass. I interrupt my moment of cheering abruptly so I can relax as much as possible, taking a deep breath and exhaling the air I breathed in. I don't want to pass the wrong impression for Princess Twilight Sparkle. It has to be a good one. "Can't wait to meet them all." I don't waste time to start walking towards it to make a proper introduction.

As I approach the city, a strange feeling of anxiety shiver through my whole body and I can feel myself sweating bricks. Every step I take is a step closer to reaching one of my most required desires. "I hope nothing goes wrong," I stand before the city limits. My expression changes from a worried to a confident one. My notebook and pen ready to be used and my guts ready to do it's job. I walk.

And immediately bump into some kind of magic shield. Frustrated and surprised, I throw both my pen and notebook to the ground. Again. "OH, COME ON!" I scream, and in no time, six ponies are teleported to the edge of the city, but inside of this magic shield. I recognized them right away. The purple unicorn and probably the smartest pony I've ever known, Twilight Sparkle; the pink earth pony and absolutely the funniest pony of Equestria, Pinkamena Diane Pie, A.K.A. Pinkie Pie; the cian pegasus and probably the fastest pegasus alive, Rainbow Dash; the white unicorn and the most talented fashionista of all Equestria, Rarity; the orange earth pony and the strongest one I've ever seen alive, Applejack; the yellow pegasus and absolutely the kindest of them all, Fluttershy. They were all carefully watching me, suspicious. No surprise, they've probably never seen a creature like me, I think to myself. And still, I stand there in front of them all, taking no action with a wide grin on my face and biting quite hard the right side of my lower lip. When I realise Fluttershy is hiding behind Rainbow Dash and everypony else seems to be scared too, I hide away my smile for a moment and take a deep breath. Before I can protest and give them my greetings, Twilight decides to force the conversation with quite hostile tone, which intimidates me.

"Who are you and why are you trying to invade this city?" it surprises me the way she talks like she knows the specie I am. Before I can answer, Rarity barges in the convesation with probably no regrets.

"Oh, please," she says in a careless way. "Do you really think a savage and ugly Dog is able to even understand what you're saying, darling?"

...ouch... it hurts... she and all the other ponies share the same grin, except for Fluttershy which is scared, and Twilight which is serious. "Rude," I say. "First of all milady, I'm no Diamond Dog at all. I'm another kind of creature you probably have no record of in Equestrian story. I know you doubt that, Twilight, let me finish," I say before she gets the chance to interrupt my dialogue with some kind of 'I don't believe you' argument. "Second, I have no idea of how did I get in Equestria or why did I get here, so the two questions you've made are completely pointless. And third..." I sit down, expecing them to not believe in these bunch of words I just said. "I've always wanted to have the honor to meet you all. From now on, I decide to adress myself as Monochrome," I decide to end my speech right now and see how they react.

Widened eyes, mouth agape and dumb expressions. Yup, pretty much confused, I think.

"...wut," Rainbow Dash's dumbfolded expression is priceless.

"Y'all... wanna meet us?" Applejack question my statement. The look in her eyes is more like surprised and less suspicious like. "Why's that, uh..."

"Monochrome," I confirm. "But I also listen to when others call me 'Mon' or just 'chrome'."

"Yeah, we got that darling," Rarity barges in the conversation. "But why are you so curious about... well, us?"

I widen my eyes. I can't believe she just asked that to somePONY from outside. "Why? I'll tell you why," my surprised gaze changed to a serious one. "You all are the mane six. Known as the bearer of the six elements of harmony, saviors of Equestria multiple times and you got your friendship strength tougher than ever. I've always admired the way you deal with things and the issues you manage to solve. And it was with all the six of you I learned that... friendship is magic," I cease my second speech slyghtly blushing and decide to listen to what they are planning on saying. My serious gaze didn't change at all.

They idly tried to find any trace or sign of lie on me, but they couldn't find any. In those words, there were no lies at all. I meant it from the bottom of my heart.

"Girls," Twilight manages to break the boring and disquieting ice. "Reunion. Now," then all the other five mares join Twilight in a small circle, whispering incomprehencible words for a normal human to hear. Apparently, they have their atentions all on the element of honesty; obviously to discover if I am or not lying. After this chit chat between them, Twilight and the others turn around to stare at me; obviously, it felt quite awkward, because this stare contest lasted for some silent and hollow seconds... until Pinkie can't hold it anymore.

"SO... I got a couple of questions..." she says. And all innocent, I made a decision I shouldn't have, for the good of my brain.

"Ask away," oh poor thing... Pinkie takes a deepbreath and in the moment I heard the gasp, I knew I just made a mistake. Also, because Twilight facehoofed.

"Whatareyouwheredidyoucamefromwhat'syourfavoritekindofcakewhyhaveyouchosenMonochromeasyournameinsteadofyourrealnamedoyouhaveanywheretostayyourmaneisreallycuteandIfindyouverytallandhandsomewhatyoujustsaidwasitalltrueandhowdoyouknowofourexistanceifyou'renotfromthisworldwhenisyourbirthdayandjustWHATAREYA?!?!!" Right after this assault, I realized something...

"Oh, Pinkie Pie," I open up a smile. "You're so random I couldn't understand one word of what you just said!"

"I know, hihihi *snort*" how cute was that snort. "I get that a lot," she said waving a hoof in the air. The six ponies seem to be smiling at Pinkie's randomness and as soon as the laughter ends, Twilight turn back to me, still with the smile.

"Okay, you can enter the city. We trust youBUT," she interrupted herself. "If you show any signal of betrayal, I'll send you to the Royal Court right away." After that advice she had for me, her horn began to lighten up and the shield began to open a hole in front of me and the ponies. Lots of thoughts began to race on my mind, like leaves that got blown away by a blower. I get up of the dirty ground and clean some dust stuck in the pants with a few taps. Here I am, ready to enter the city I most love of Equestria from the bottom of my heart. Ponyville. When I put my foot in the inside part of the shield, the lavender unicorn greet me. "Welcome to Ponyville, Monochrome." After that, all the other stare at me wearing friendly smiles and I confess *raise right hand* I blushed to that.

Nice to meet you, new life.
