Life of the Average Human in Equestria

I was dreaming again. I knew that I was.

I was sitting atop a skyscraper, in New York City, looking over the land of the Bronx.

I remembered going there once, I was young when I traveled there. The streets had traffic every single day, shops were filled, friends hung out near the park, and gang members always fought. The Bronx was never boring, not always safe, but never boring. Life for me on the other hand, was too safe. I wanted danger, I wanted freedom. I didn't want to be like a Jew during the Holocaust.

I sighed, looking down at the streets below.

I realized a new outcome. An easier way to end it all, but I'm not going to be known as a coward. I'll be remembered as a fighter, savior, peacemaker. I always had this choice, always will.

I climbed on top of the ledge, looking at whatever other skyscrapers were taller than this one.

That's when I saw the tallest building in U.S.A, the Empire State Building. Why not travel over there?

I sighed again, looking down to the ground.

Better now than never, I thought, jumping off the skyscraper, heading towards the ground.

Now stop time for a second. Remember how I said, in my dreams, I'm a God? Yeah, don't ever forget that.

I was falling, falling, and falling.

I was inches from the ground when I went straight up, flying in the air like a hummingbird.

I always wondered what it'd be like to fly, in real life I mean. I can imagine it'd be fun. The cool air running through your hair, the adrenaline, the danger. That's what I think flying is about.

I flew through the air, dodging the skyscrapers as I did so.

I was nearly at the Empire State Building. Until somepony attacked me mid flight. You want to guess who it was? Go on, guess.

If you guessed Luna, you're correct.

She came flying at me with laser beams coming from her horn.

The part where she comes in wasn't going to stop until I was dead or until I convinced her to not kill me.

Since this was my dream though, I kinda froze her when she was about to shoot another laser at me.

She fell to the ground and I flew to the top of the Empire State Building, hoping that she wouldn't hit the ground so quickly.

I landed on the top of the skyscraper, looking down over the ledge.

I couldn't see her, which meant she either died, or she was going to sneak up on me.

"Luna!" I yelled, looking over the ledge.

I didn't hear a response so I thought she was dead.

I sighed with relief, glad she was dead.

I turned around and walked away from the ledge.

Dead? Did I say dead? Sorry, I meant about to puncture my chest with that super long horn of hers (Don't you dare take that out of context you sick bastards).

I suddenly felt sharp pain in my gut. The horn has penetrated my stomach and out my spine.

She threw me off her horn and I landed against a metal door. This was the end, I was going to die.

That's what she thought was going to happen until my wounds healed shortly after she threw me.

Her eyes widened, and she took a step back.

"Listen Luna," I started, looking at her angrily, "This is my dream. Whatever happens in here stays in here, but you can enter and exit all you want."

I grew taller than I was before, maybe even six feet taller than her.

I looked down at her, grinning miraculously.

Oh, the fear in her eyes made me feel awesome.

I dashed towards her and gripped around her neck. She tried to fight it but she couldn't, I was to strong.

I whispered into her ear, "This is my world, I can do whatever I want, whenever I please. I could kill you right now, but I don't want to." I said, easing the grip around her neck. "I want you to go tell your sister and the other princesses to stop coming into my dreams. Unless you want to die next time you come in."

She stared at me fearfully. Her eyes were mere pinpricks, sweat was dribbling down her head too.

I stood up and said, "Now here's what's going to happen, you're going to do what I told you, I am going to wake up, and if you ever come back attacking me, you'll die in here." I gave her a death stare shortly after that.

She nodded slowly, flying away.

I sighed, looking back at the city I hoped to dream of going back to.

Slowly, it all faded away in darkness.

I was laying in bed with Moonlit next to me, he was cuddling into me, trying to get cozy.

He's like a brother to me. I would beat up anypony, big or small, if they made the colt sad.

Black Night was planning on getting me my own bed and putting it next to Moonlit's bed.

I don't think that would actually stop him from hopping onto my stomach when I was asleep though.

I sighed softly, not wanting to wake the little colt next to me.

I looked over to an opened window that I thought I closed last night.

"Hey Moonlit?" I asked, seeing if the colt was awake or not.

"Yeah?"

"Did you open the window last night?"

"No. Why?"

"Because it's opened and I need to make sure no one broke in."

I gently shoved the little colt off of my stomach and onto the bed so I could get up and close the window.

Once I did that, I stood up and closed the window.

After that, I stretched, popping the joints in my arms and legs.

I walked over to Moonlit, poking him until he got annoyed.

"Stop mister." Moonlit said annoyingly.

Goddamn it, I forgot to tell him my name last night. Well, I'll tell him now then.

"My name's Jack." I said softly, "Now get up because we're going to go get breakfast downstairs."

He groaned, looking at me with annoyance.

"Jack, come on, let me sleep for five more minutes." Moonlit said, looking up at me with puppy dog eyes.

I sighed and rolled my eyes, not wanting to make eye contact with the sad colt.

"No," I said sternly, "I need you to get up because you're going to take me around Ponyville. As a favor for me giving your love letter to Applebloom."

He looks at me with a pissed off face. I just smile knowingly at him.

"Fine," he groaned, "But this is the last favor I'm doing for you."

Last favor? Boy, this is the first favor I've ever asked you ever since I met you, I thought.

We both headed downstairs and into the kitchen, where Black Night always is.

He spotted us and smiled.

"How's it going Moonlit?" He asked.

"It's going good dad." Moonlit replied, giving his father a grin.

"Hey dad?" Moonlit asked.

"Yeah?"

"Can Jack 'escort' me to school again?"

At hearing those very words, Black Night stopped everything he was doing and glared at me.

"Why?" He asked Moonlit, not tearing his gaze away from me.

"Because I enjoy his company." Moonlit answered, giving his father a smile.

"Fine," Black Night said angrily, "But you come here right away after school."

"OK, but first, I want some waffles!"

I don't know how the little colt does it, but he eats more than his father, and doesn't gain an ounce.

I watched Moonlit chomp away at the waffles like a T-Rex eating an Antelope. When I say he eats fast, he eats fast.

Soon, he was done with his fifth pancake, while I was on my second.

Me and Black Night just watch in amazement, mouths open and everything.

Then a few minutes later, the pancakes were gone.

It took a while, but we all burped soon enough.

I noogie Moonlit with a smile, "You are a fast eater Moonlit, you gotta slow down if you don't want to get sick." I said, giving him a worried smile.

"Oh trust me, I've never gotten sick on pancakes, never ate this much either." He said with another burp.

I rolled my eyes and headed to the door, signaling Moonlit to follow me.

He did so and walked over to me.

"Bye dad!" He yelled out.

"Bye Moonlit!" Black Night replied happily.

Soon enough, we were off.

It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, the Sun was out, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the wind was calm. I enjoyed days like these because they're always so quiet.

As we walked I heard a voice behind us ask, "Hey Moonlit. Who's your friend?"

I stopped right then and there, worried that I would get arrested.

Me and Moonlit looked over our shoulder's and spotted an orange coated Pegasus with a purple mane.

I knew who that particular pony was. It was none other than Scootaloo.

I frowned at her and she frowned back.

"Oh, it's you." She said angrily.

Moonlit looked confused, he didn't know what went down when he walked into the school yesterday.

"Scootaloo, what's with all the hate between you two?" Moonlit asked looking at me and Scootaloo.

"Well," She started, "I don't like strangers talking to my friends, especially not to Applebloom."

As she finished, Moonlit chuckled a bit. Me nor Scootaloo knew why but he did. We both gave him a confused look.

"You don't know why he gave Applebloom that letter, do you?" Moonlit asked, a small smile crept across his face.

"No, do you?" Scootaloo asked.

"Yeah I do, I told mister to give it to Applebloom as an invitation to my party at Sweet Apple Acres." He answered calmly.

I smiled a victory smile, watching Scootaloo look defeated.

She hung her head. That's when I started feeling bad about the Pegasus.

"Hey Scootaloo." I asked, looking at her comfortingly.

"Yeah?"

"Want me to 'escort' you to school?"

"Sure."

"Then come on then, let's go." I said, signaling her to follow.

We soon reached the school, happy that it was over. Or they were happy at least. I, on the other hand, have to walk back home.

"Bye mister!" Moonlit yelled.

"Bye Moonlit, bye Scootaloo." I said, giving Scootaloo a soft smile.

"Bye." Scootaloo said back.

I removed my hood and stretched my muscles. It's a long way back.

I looked back at the school and sighed.

Then I headed back home, looking around for Applejack.

She wasn't around for some reason, probably doing chores at her farm.

Then I suddenly get pushed to the ground, my face getting covered in dirt.

"Ah shit! What the hell?!" I asked whoever crashed into me. They weren't getting off my back so I had no choice but to look over my shoulder.

As I did so I saw a cyan coated Pegasus with a rainbow mane.

Aw shit, I thought, trying to push myself up. It was motherfucking Rainbow Dash, I presumed.

"What the hell Rainbow Dash?" I asked innocently.

"Shut up!" She said, punching the back of my head with her hoof.

Now that ticked me off, somepony telling me to shut up and then smacking me on the back of my head with a hoof is going over the line.

I pushed myself up with all my strength, grunting as I did so. She was heavy for a Pegasus, but fast too.

She soon lost her balance and fell to the ground, face first into the dirt.

I got up, ran the opposite direction of her, and laughed hysterically.

But I spoke too soon.

She was back up and on my ass within seconds, chasing me with a head full of steam.

I looked over my shoulder and saw that she wasn't there, but I didn't stop running.

I came around the corner, only to find that there was a hoof to the face waiting for me.

I fell on my back, grunting in pain. I lifted my head off the ground, only to have it bashed back into it.

The punches came nonstop, one after another.

My vision was going black. Getting darker, darker, darker.

Then a surge of adrenaline came through my body, a lot of adrenaline.

I lifted my fist and punched her back, sending her to the ground.

I quickly got up, ran over to her, and wrapped my hands around her neck.

She tried to smack my hands off her neck, but the attempts were futile. I was watching in sorrow as her eyes widened in horror.

"Jack, stop!" A voice behind me yelled out.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Applejack, looking back at me with sadness in her eyes.

I loosened the grip around Rainbow's neck enough so she can breathe.

"Jack, let go o' Rainbow." She said, looking at me worriedly.

"Why? If I do, she'll get up and kill me. I can't risk that." I said, looking at Rainbow Dash with pure hatred.

"Because," she said, "Imagine what'd happen after you kill her. Moonlit would never forgive you, I wouldn't forgive you, no one would forgive you. The whole planet would go inta' chaos!" She yelled, looking at me cautiously.

I looked at Rainbow Dash who is breathing heavily, her eyes looking at me in fear. I glared at her, leaving a memory in her mind.

I sighed, removing my hands from her neck. I watched her closely as she slowly got up, and backed away.

I stood up, and walked down a random dirt path. I don't care where it led, anywhere but there was fine with me.
