Brony Vs Anti-Bronies

(Second day home alone)

I was fast asleep, my body was as stiff as a board and I was fully relaxed. I could still remember last morning when I got greeted with ponies... and a dragon. I felt amazing until I heard the alarm clock buzzing on my phone. I opened my eyes and turned off the alarm clock. I wiped the sleep from my eyes and I stood up.

"Good morning everypo..." I stuttered while opening my eyes

There was no response or anyone around me. I checked the walls and the My Little Pony posters and plushies were also gone. The room was completely empty looking. It also looked younger than I remembered even though I looked and felt the same. I knew something was wrong. I climbed out of my bed and hurried downstairs.

"Twilight? Rainbow Dash? Spike? Anyone?!" I shouted with confusion and panic

There was still silence and no sign of anyone around me. I ran downstairs and right next to the kitchen and I could see something sitting on a chair. I opened the door and to my surprise my mom was there drinking some coffee. I stared at her awkwardly and full of confusion.

"Morning son, had a nice sleep? What do you want for breakfast?" Mom asked

"How come you came back around 11 days early?" I said

"What are you talking about? I never went anywhere" Mom said curiously

"Another thing, what did you do with my MLP posters and plushies which you got me?" I awkwardly said

"What is My Little Pony? And I never got you any kind of posters and plushies before... you told me that you think that they are a huge waste of space" Mom answered

"Those thoughts were like a couple years ago" I said in panic

I knew something was wrong. I told her everything to know about My Little Pony and come to think of it... she was never this nice to me She would often start an argument right about now but for some reason she is being rather mature with everything... thankfully

"Where is dad?" I asked

"He's just outside. He's working on something in the garden. I think it's a fence" Mom said

I started to go outside until I saw a calendar which was hanging on the wall. It wrote 25th of July... 2013! Wait, that was before I told my parents all about My Little Pony! I didn't even know what My Little Pony was at that time.  Maybe my mom just switched it it the wrong date? I ran out of the house and into the garden. I heard a lawnmower going off and I saw my dad using one to cut the grass.

"What are you doing dad?" I asked

"Just cutting the grass, wanna help?" Dad replied

"Me... help?" I replied while stepping away

My dad never asked me to assist him in something that could be dangerous. This got weirder and stranger every minute for me. I shook my head and ran back into the house. There was something wrong here. Both of my parents were never this nice and they certainly knew what My Little Pony was but if the calendar said that it's 2013 then I must magically be in the past. Suddenly I saw a large beam of light in front of me. I was apprehensive if I should go in it or not. I then realized that someone wants me to see something else so I went through the beaming portal. Once inside I was surrounded with things which are brighter than the sun but they didn't strain my eyes or my vision in any way.

When the constant encore of light stopped I found myself in my room again. What was this trickery? I sat on my bed and though this through.

"Why is this happening? Why did I just get transported back here? Why were my parents acting so strangely to me?" I asked myself out-loud

I kept on asking myself the confused questions I had until I heard someone storming upstairs. I didn't know what to expect. The door to my room opened with a bang and my dad was standing on it's place. He was holding a knife! I jumped with fright.

"This pony stuff has to stop right now! You need to get rid of the baby that's inside you! There is only one way to stop it..." Dad said

He gripped the knife in his clenched hand and walked towards my Rainbow Dash poster. It was at that time that I knew what he was trying to accomplish. I stood up and rushed towards him. I pushed him away.

"Dad! You're acting unreasonable! It's just a show that I like!" I shouted in his ear

I kept on pushing him away from my pony merch but to no avail. He pushed me off and stood one foot away from the poster. He raised his arm to the corner of it and place the knife against the tip. I was about to witness first hand someone destroying my first ever My Little Pony poster.

"Why aren't you listening to me?! Please stop!" I shouted against my tears

The room suddenly went dark. I didn't question it because I was all wrapped up in the moment in which my dad is going to cut my pony poster into little pieces. He pointed the knife onto the top left corner.... and he started to cut across the poster! He then did the same but to the top right to the bottom left! There was a large X imprint on the poster which I held close to my brony heart. At that time I didn't care if it was my parents or not! I grabbed the biggest book I had and attempted to smash it against his head. He turned around, picked me up and threw me onto the bed. He then looked around my room and started picking out random things and he slashed them apart.

"This has to end! You're to old for this! I don't have a daughter I have a son but from what I'm seeing you probably are my daughter! Get a life kid!" He continued throwing insults my way

I didn't know what to think, feel or hear. I felt like the world is collapsing on itself. The only thing which I could see is my dad ripping apart my pony merch in the dark with a knife!

"Why aren't you paying attention to me kid!? Not enough of a punishment for you?!" He said

He then saw my first ever plushie I ever had. It was my Twilight Sparkle plushie! I got it on Christmas and I didn't even want to think about what's going to happen to it any second now. I picked her up by the neck and placed the knife right up against it I could feel my eyes exploding with sad emotions. He then brushed the tip of the sharp object in a straight line around it's throat until I heard a ripping noise. I eyes widened after seeing my first and beloved plushie's head being separated from it's purple body. He then threw the separated pieces onto the floor. My head collapsed into my hands.

"Guys are suppose to only like guns, cars and sports! This sort of different behavior is unacceptable in our human world!" He carried on lecturing me with lies

The things which he continued saying reminded me of the things that everyone says. That men are ONLY allowed to like specific things and not come out of their comfort zone. I then also heard voice outside my window. I walked over and opened them up to hear the voices more clearly.

"Get a life! You want to sleep with ponies! You're gay! You're a man child!" The kid's outside were yelling

The voices came from everyone who used to bully me in school. I closed the curtains and fell onto the floor. I was just about done with everything now.

"For God's sake you're over 20 years old and you still watch it!" He shouted

I heard that sentence! Something felt wrong with it. I raised my head back up and asked him.

"Wait... how old?" I asked

"You're currently 23 years old! Did this gay pony stuff wipe out your manliness and your memory?!" He answered

It didn't make any sense... I'm 16 not 23... It was at that point in time in where I figured it out. Firstly I was in that past and now I'm in the future! So this isn't real! I still didn't know what was going on but I knew that this mustn't be real.

"All of this lecturing isn't real! Your complaints aren't real as well!" I shouted to my dad

HE stood there and didn't do anything else. I then moved onto the window. I could still hear them shouting lies.

"All of your complaints are not real as well! Everything in sight right now isn't real!" I mentally shouted across the area

"And right you are Marcin" A mysterious voice said

I froze in place. Everything around me went quiet and everyone stopped moving.

"Wait.. that voice. Is that you Luna?" I asked excitingly and curiously

Suddenly a large burst of light appeared from the moon. The large flash went away and Luna flew down from the sky onto the grass below me. I ran downstairs and opened the door wide open to see Luna waiting for me with a smile on her face.

"Is that really you Luna?" I asked

"Since I am the princess of the night, my duty is to come into your dreams. So I am real" Luna answered

Then it finally dawned on me.

"So this is a dream? Well if it is why did it feel so real?" I wondered

"You became so upset and sad over the fact that you get bullied and picked on so much that it must have turned into your nightmare" Luna said

"Well... since I get picked on frequently it did make me question my own opinions" I said

"If you are getting put down by those kinds of bullies then you must have a problem accepting yourself as a person. If you can't accept who you are then you will start doubting your own liking" Luna said

"In this dream what was the first thing that happened?" Luna asked

"In the first dream I was probably in the past before I knew what My Little Pony was and back then I remembered it being more peaceful and friendly around the house" I answered

"What if I told you that it was always the same. That it was only your imagination that told you that your family started to doubt you right after you started watching the show. You just let yourself down and didn't motivate yourself to keep going" Luna said.

The things which she was saying did sound possible. I always felt that my family was more peaceful and friendly before I became a brony.

"What about in this dream?" Luna asked again

"Everyone was out to get me and to ruin my pony merch. I was in the future I recon and everyone probably got to sick of me watching and buying more stuff related to My Little Pony that they started to try and stop it. My dad came in with a knife and cutted up everything and kept on repeating insults at me" I said

"Maybe because you act the same way..." Luna said

I faced her which a blank expression.

"...I don't understand, I'm sure that I like the show and everything surrounding it" I quickly jumped in

"Are you sure? You never question your own mind which was telling you to keep watching the show? Luna questioned

I looked away with shame being splattered onto my face.

"The truth is that since I started getting bullied daily I became ashamed with what I do" I answered with sweat dripping from my forehead

"Just because someone doesn't like what you do it doesn't mean that you should hate it too. Everyone is different and because of that everyone likes and dislikes different things form each other" Luna said

I looked up at her. I then became aware that I wasn't proud of being a brony. I let everyone's words and threats get to me and now I am starting to change myself into the wrong me.

"I think that you need to see something else before you wake up" Luna said

A large flash of light blasted the area and I found myself in a strangely familiar room. I kind of recognize it but not quite... until I hear a voice of someone.

"Well I guess I can check out this video which Marcin told me about called "Beat It" By AnimatedJames" Peter said

I turned my head and I could see my friend Peter's head watching fan-made PMVs. This surprised me even though I'm not physically there.

"Well this seems rather OK actually..." Peter commented

"See? Even Peter has his doubts about this brony business" I said

"Wait..." Luna said

"Well it's over... It was pretty great actually. Marcin is a real pal though..."Peter started talking

My eyes widened and my ears perked up. Did he really just say that?

"He would always help me, he would accompany me in school and since hes a brony it made me find this amazing community" Peter said

Did he just say that hes glad that I'm a brony? That I'm a good friend to him? Suddenly the area started to zoom through as if it was fast-forwarding and then I see my half brony friend sitting at his desk with a Pinkie Pie figurine right next to him. He also looked better and happier. Did me being a brony help someone? Help someone to stay happy?

"Is this real? Will this actually happen?" I asked Luna

"It will be real and will happen if you believe in yourself the same way as your own friends" Luna answered

The area then quickly changed back to a large open area with stars in a flash.

"The reason that he was happy is because you showed him your own opinions. He didn't hide what was inside of him, unlike you. You should hide your own opinions and you shouldn't be ashamed of them no matter what anyone says" Luna said

I was smiling widely. With this dream alone I got to learn so much and this will help me in many ways. By me being a brony it could help with keeping up other people's spirits and it could help them with certain situations.

"Thank you Luna. Without this dream I would still be bothered about meaningless things. I owe you one" I said with a proud and happy expression on my face

"I'm glad that you're happy and that I helped you with overcoming this difficult part of your life. Now it's time for you to awake and face the world in a new light" Luna said

I was ready to return to return home to my pony friends. They would't believe how much pain and emotion that I had to go through in this dream. Another burst of light appeared and two large portals opened up. However in each one I could see a image. In one was me standing in front of my Rainbow Dash poster while holding a Twilight Sparkle plushie and in the other portal I could see me with my old friends having a good time.

"Now you must make a choice. You can now either go back to your regular life with ponies and the fandom or you can go back to the way it was two years ago when you were still not getting bullied and didn't start watching the show. So... which one will it be?" Luna asked

This was at first a difficult choice. I had the power of going back to the old times where I wasn't picked on or my brony life where I had my best ever memories... however even though I do miss my old friends I will still pick the brony option.

"I choose the first option because in there I will be able to be myself and not having to hide my own personal interests and opinions" I said while pointing to the first portal

Luna smiled proudly and let me go through the portal.

"Take care of the group! Make sure they stay safe" Luna said

"Will do! And make sure that Discord is being reasonable with protecting Ponyville. After what happened last time I can't believe that he would do the best job in the world" I jokingly said

Luna rolled her eyes with a smile and lit up her horn. She then lifted herself up into the sky and then the world went blurry.

"I will see you whenever you need me again" Luna vainly said
