Celestia asks me I nod in response as I put my note on the fridge Celestia and I walk out the front door //-------------------------------------------------------// normal //-------------------------------------------------------// normal "OK mom i'm going to school" i said happily "remember i won't be here tomorrow" johns mom said before john ran down the street today was the day, today i was going to ask out Samantha long. "hey Todd how are you doing today?" i asked "OK what about you?" asked the sad sounding teenager "i am doing great" was my normal response. I get on the bus to go to school I said "hi" to the kids as I passed like always then I saw Samantha she was two feet taller than me had golden blonde hair and was wearing a black shirt that said in silver letters "bad girl". the rest of my day was a blur until lunch I sat at my regular table looked two tables over at Samantha's table "you can do this" I said to myself and stood up.I walk  up to Samantha's table gather my confidence and say "s-Samantha?" "who said my name?" Samantha said annoyed "I-I d-did" I say meekly "what do you want?" she said even more annoyed. "w-well I-I wanted t-to know i-if you would-" I was cut off "stop stuttering!!!" she yelled. i cleared my throat"will you go out with me?" I asked scared "you? you're kidding right?" she said and laughed with that I ran down the hall to the office signed out and went home. the next morning I wake up to my loud alarm clock it is Saturday I turn off my alarm and hear a knock at the door. I walk down stairs and answer the door standing before me is none other than princess celestia "are you john helworth?" asked celestia dumbfounded i nod my head "come with me" the words that began my journey.
