My Life Is A Lie

Just one of the many happy days that are and will be. A unicorn couple has had a beautiful little colt. The cute little thing had a deep ocean blue coat that earned him the name Blue. His mane was black and he had green eyes. He was a unicorn like his parents. Born into Book family in Canterlot, his life was easy going. The one thing he loved most was his parents, Red Book and Green (Meadows) Book.

His father is an accountant and his mom is a general store owner, wealthy but not high class. They lived in a rather large house on the city's outskirts just by the outer wall. Although Blue was never short on toys, he preferred to be around his parents. Something about being near them was so rich and filling. He could bask in their loving glow all day. Being in their embrace made him feel so very alive. He only assumed that it the normal thing a parents love should feel like.

Blue had then to go to school. He made friends and encountered bullies. One pony in particular caught his eye. She was such a pretty filly. The pegasus, an uncommon sight in Canterlot, was white with a yellow mane and had blue eyes. To Blue, she was very pretty with her cute little wings and the way she pranced when she walked. He'll never forget the day she came up and talked to him.

It was the average everyday Tuesday. Blue's friends were out sick and it was arts and crafts time. Blue was working on a house made of popsicle sticks. He looked away for one moment to get some glue and then Sand Stone, a unicorn bully, used his telekinesis to break Blue's work. Blue knew the teacher would dismiss it. All he could do was sigh and start over while Sand snickered. Then she came to him.

"Hey, you okay?"

'Sweet Celestia, even her voice is dreamy' he thought to himself. "Uh, y-yeah. I'm okay"

"You're sure? I know it's hard to ignore that sort of behavior."

"Yes, I'm sure."

"Well, I'm done with my project. Would you like some help?"

His eyes lit up. "Yes, I-I would like that very much."

She took a seat next to him and began to rebuild the popsicle stick house.

"So what's your name?"

"Blue Book."

"Mine is White Clouds."

As they worked, Blue could sense Sand was giving him a cold gaze. He paid it no mind. The teacher was impressed by their team work and gave them both an A.

The next day, Blue told his best friend, Star Gazer, during outdoor recess.

"No way!"

"Yes way. She came up to me and talked to me."

"You got the prettiest filly in class to come to you? I would sooner believe that the Princess was a evil witch."

"Behold, the vile, horrid Celestia, the scourge of all ponykind!" Blue said ominously and waving his hoof.

"Funny, but really, I won't believe it unless I see it."

"See what loser?" Sand Stone said stepping into their conversation.

"He didn't mean anything by it." Blue said, "Not anything you need to know at least."

"You're lying about that pegasus filly wanting to spend time with you, aren't you?"

"I can say that I'm not lying about anything."

"Ha, you're are aren't you? You're trying to make your loser friend think you're somehow less of a loser than he is. You think you can convince any us that a filly will ever give you the time of day, let alone her? Both you and I know that your future cutie mark will mean you'll be alone for rest of your life." he turned to Star, "Don't you believe a word he says. You're still less of loser than he is. Hey, if you leave him, you might stop being a loser. I'll give you a chance, leave this loser and come hang out with the cool foals and be somepony for once."

"Well, um, that's a nice offer and all, but I feel good where I am now." Star responded.

"Come on! Why do you want to be with this loser so much? He'll be alone for the rest of his life, so don't fall down this path with him. Nopony will want to be with you as long as you hang out with him."

"Hi Blue." White Clouds said suddenly showing up.

"O-oh hey White." Blue said blushing a little.

"I want to go play on the swing. Do you want to push me?"

"Uh, y-yes. Yes I would love to do that."

"Hey, who's your friend?" she said turning to Star.

"I-I'm St-Star Gazer." he said shaking a bit.

"Do you want to join us? We can take turns on the swings."

"Yes, I think I will."

"Good now let's head on over. There's somepony I want you to meet."

The three of them left to the swings, leaving a shocked Sand Stone with his mouth wide open. Once they got to the swings, White introduced a friend of hers to the pair.

"Hey Sweet Cakes, I want you to meet a couple friends of mine. This is Blue Book and Star Gazer."

"White, what are you doing with these nop-"

"Sweet Cakes! These are a few friends of mine."

"White, you are a little too friendly sometimes." she then looked at Star, "Well, at least you brought a cute one." she said with a little chuckle.

Star blushed slightly.

The rest of recess was spent playing on the swings and other things in the playground such the slides, seesaws, and the merry-go round. This became the norm for the four of them. Their days in elementary school were spent together. They were even with each other when Nightmare Moon returned, hiding in Star Gazer's house and in Sweet Cakes' family bakery when Discord was released the first time. The only time they weren't together was during the changeling invasion. Blue's family was on vacation that month. Something strange did happen when they returned.

The city guard had set a checkpoint by the city gates. They were inspecting everypony who came or left. A unicorn guard casted the spell that takes down the changeling's disguise on the civilians. Blue went after his parents. His Parents went through without incident, but with Blue, the guard had a stinging sensation in his horn after he casted. It was dismissed that the guard was overexerted from using his magic all day and that the spell still worked and Blue passed. His friends told him of the beasts that had invaded. Solid sky blue eyes, long sharp fangs, hard skin, insect wings, smooth curved horns, and holes in their legs as well as disguising themselves as your loved ones and devouring your love for them are the details that plagued his nightmares for the years to come.

Other than that, they were together for Princess Twilight's coronation and Lord Tirek's return. Middle school wasn't too much more different. Blue had more trouble fitting though. His three friends got their cutie marks. Star Gazer's was a telescope pointed at a star, Sweet Cakes' was a chef hat and a whisk, and White Cloud's was a calculator. Blue Book remained a blank flank. He also didn't have a good grasp on his magic outside of the standard telekinesis. His friends, at the very least, stuck by his side.

Eighth grade was a weird one for him. His parents told him that he won't be a only foal anymore and before graduation, he had twin siblings, a colt and filly. They were named Orange Book and Violet Book. Both were unicorns. Blue did love his brother and sister, even thorgh he had a lot of responsibility as the big brother. He enjoyed the warm feeling he got deep in him when he held them and played games with them.

His life was going smoothly. Then high school started.
