It was 6:30 AM. Monday morning. Last night my parents threw a rave in the basement, thus I didn't to get to bed at around 2 AM from all of the music and partying. I had a bad day at school today. I at least found myself in a dream away from everything that I didn't want to wake up from. I was having a dream that I was in a pie eating contest, and I was wining by a mile against the other contestants. But alas, the remnant of my dream was suddenly turn by the sound of a loud clap of thunder. I awoke with a start to the flashing of thunder outside, and the whimpering of my siberian husky licking my face, begging me out of bed.
My name is Carson. I am 12 years old and both of my parents have jobs. My dad works as an Astronomer, and mom was a Nero Surgeon . So, I hardly get to see them, which means my older siblings take care of me. But today was different. The day started out like any other day. I got out of bed, went downstairs, tried to make food since my parents had work and left at 6 in the morning. But usually my sister has to throw out what I made, due to my lack of knowledge to cook.
Today my sister was sick, so my brother had to make breakfast, which happened to be pb&j's, since he doesn't care to cook. He usually made some disgusting sandwiches, which only furthers my point he hates cooking. Yay me. Anyways, as I walked upstairs, I heard my brother scream my name, for reasons I do not know. I ran downstairs and noticed he was pointing at my plate on the table, since I hadn't put it in the sink. Usually my sister would be kind enough to do it for me, but not my brother. I had to go back downstairs, rinse my plate and then put it in the dishwasher, because it apparently is so hard to do.
When I finally got upstairs afterward, I talked to my sister about some stuff we might do after school. I changed into my school clothes, which I despise in a moderately high level, since I hate school. When I was finally ready for school, there was a tornado watch on the news, since we had decided to watch a little T.V before we had to leave. I had to walk down the block, which really wasn't that far, but in the rain it’s a terrible walk, without a raincoat, which luckily I have one. I went to my garage to get it, and found my headphones! I had lost them three weeks ago! The first thing I did was start my music, then grabbed my coat and put slid it on. My brother was panicking and was screaming at me, but I couldn't hear him so I left the house.
No one was on the street. Which is very unusual because usually I have to push my way through everyone. I checked my watch. It was 7:45, which is normal. I checked my phone, I still had school. So why was no one there? I took off my headphones and heard a tornado siren. I turned around, and saw a tornado coming straight for me. I froze, I couldn’t move, no matter how hard I tried. Obviously that didn't help.
Suddenly, something flew out of the tornado and smashed into me, pushing me out of the path of the tornado. It felt like a year. In some sort of parallel universe. But in reality, it was Earth. I hit the neighbors fence, and I hit hard. Smashing into it. The wood from the fence flew into the air. The only reason I didnt get sucked up is because I was holding onto my neighbors gutters. The tornado ripped at the gutter, I was weak from the rave my parents threw last night. But I managed to hold on until the tornado passed. At first when It passed I was in shock and animist smashed my head on a rock beneath me. But something caught me, or should I say, somepony. I was struck in confusion. All this happened so quickly. My brain could not function, I passed out.
When I opened my eyes I noticed something. It looked like a glass connected to a circle. In reality it was a pony. I had of course heard of the show My little pony. But never watched it in fear of my sister and brother picking on me. I had heard of the term 'brony' before but never knew what it meant. When I sat up I tried to run, until I came to the realizition that my leg was broken. And my arms aren't the strongest things.
The pony spoke.
"You have been out for about an hour." He said in a low voice. For some reason, this was not strange to hear an animal speak. "My name is Cloud Basher. But you can call me Cloud."
"W-W-What?" I could not speak well. "Why are you- How are you-"
"I knew you might be a bit weirded out. So let me tell you why I'm here. It all started when the war broke out. Nukes fell from the sky. Even after the war raged on. I knew I had to be loyal to my army. But when my eye got sliced I knew I couldnt. I ran, and ran and ran. I ran all the way back to PonyVille. Those 400 miles where painful. Very painful. When I finally got home no one was outside. I walked around and and then suddenly. The Nuke siren went off. I knew I was done for. I can't cast Spells to teleport because I'm a pegasus. Suddenly out of nowhere a tornado picked me up. Next thing I knew I hit you in the face."
"Wow" I confusingly replied. Then I remembered. My family. Oh god what if something happened to them! I couldn't stop thinking about it. I tried to crawl there but obviously I was about a block down the road. Suddenly Cloud asked me If I needed a lift. At first I was very confused. I mean I am 89 pounds. But he managed to do it! I was so confused. He trotted along the broken sidewalk that I once walked on. Passed the broken houses I used to play at. Then I saw where my House was. It was practically gone. Except for my basement stairs. They where almost destroyed. Suddenly, I heard something or someone bark, then someone shut the bark up. Which could mean, they are alive.
