Chapters Say hello to Miffelmesh. (There's a low chance at his popularity status but...) You may have seen his stickman counterpart from another universe. Let's take a while to meet him. Miff is a pony who has spent his whole life in Manehattan. . He's a red pegasus with a turquoise and black, spikey mane and tail, and a stickman for his cutie mark. He likes to fly, meet new ponies (although he's kinda shy), and play video games. And today he's moving to Ponyville!
Miffelmesh was just packing his stuff to leave home and move to Ponyville, when his family came out. His mom, Love Pony, a light purple earth pony with a funky, good-looking dark purple mane with a big red streak through it, and a ball of yarn and knitting needles for a cutie mark. His dad, Cicero, a golden-yellow earth pony with a green spiky short mane and a green spiky normal-sized tail, with a Tibetan Flag (It's confusing) for a cutie mark. His younger brother, Swift Wind, who was a grey pegasus with a blue mane and tail, that looked like his mom's except his was a little less spiky, and wind for a cutie mark. His younger sister, Fashion Ista, who was a pink unicorn with a curly-ish purple mane and tail, along with a heart for her cutie mark. And finally, his baby sister, Cutie Patootie, who was a turquoise unicorn with a small, lumpy-ish, pink mane and tail, with two small yellow streaks down them, and she doesn't have her cutie mark yet.
"I'm gonna miss you guys. Don't forget to write letters often, okay?" Miff said to his family.
He gave his family hugs and started to walk his route to the train station.
"Are you sure you don't want us to help you get to Ponyville?" Cicero asked.
"It's just a train ride. How bad could it be?"
Turns out, it can be pretty bad! Miff found that most of the places to sit at the train was taken, so he was stuck sitting with ponies he didn't know. He had to cram his suitcases into the storage area in the back car of the train, hoping that he would be able to find his stuff when he was ready to get off. And don't even get me started on the ponies he was sitting with. One of them was addicted to his Joyboy (pretty much), and the other one (the one he had to be closest to) smelled like stale cheese. Miff liked cheese, but stale cheese sucked.
"Last stop! Ponyville!" yelled the train conductor.
Miff had fallen asleep, despite the stale cheese smell that was VERY strong. He woke up at the sound of hooves clopping across the floor.
"Huh, what?" Miff said, jerked awake by the constant bumping on his back hooves by other ponies. "Hmm... I guess this is my stop."
Miff got up and went to the back car. Lucky for him, most of the ponies had already gotten off, so he was able to easily find his bags. He got off the train and looked at Ponyville. He took a big breath, and started looking for houses for sale.
Along the streets, there were many stands selling stuff, houses and other buildings. But he couldn't find a house that didn't already have somepony living in it.
"Oh man, this is getting ridiculous." Miff said, rubbing his face out of frustration. "IS THERE NOT A HOUSE SOMEPONY IS ALREADY LIVING IN! I SWEAR TO CELESTIA, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO FILLYDELPHIA! AND DON'T ASK ME WHY, BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A REASON! THIS PLACE JUST SEEMS NICER!"
He just sat on a bench and looked down at the ground. Why, you ask? Because he had given up. He decided he'd just be a homeless pony. How hard could it be? Then he looked up, noticing a shadow over him and the clopping of hooves. A light purple unicorn with a dark purple straight mane and tail with a pink and purple streak going through them, and sparkles (one of which bigger and pink-purple). She looked concerned at Miff.
"Are you okay sir?" She asked. "You look depressed."
"Oh, you think?" He grunted.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Twilight Sparkle. Did your parents do something mean to you?" Twilight said. "Why are you sitting on this bench just looking sad?"
"I don't live with my parents anymore. I moved out."
"Oh... then why are you sad?"
"I can't find a house that is empty, so I can't move in."
"There's one next door to my castle. Would you like that one?"
"Oh, yes please! I've been searching for hours and I can't take any more."
They started walking down the street to get to the house. To Miff, it felt like only half the day was taken, but it was already starting to get dark. He decided that he would just unpack nothing but his sleeping bag and sleep on the floor that night.
"So, um..." Twilight looked and sounded as if she was trying to say something. "What's your name?"
"Oh," Miff answered. "Miffelmesh. But you can call me Miff for short."
"Oh. So, Miff, since it's getting late and you have a bunch of stuff to unpack, you probably don't want to sleep on the floor, so... how would you like to sleep at my castle tonight? I have WAY too many guest bedrooms."
"But wouldn't you disagree with all the guest bedrooms? Or are the tales true that the castle just constructed itself out of nowhere?"
"Yep! Those stories are true. Although don't tell anypony? I don't want news ponies crowding my castle doorstep with questions about it..."
"No problem! Thanks for letting me stay the night too."
Author's Note
I hope you enjoyed the first chapter! More to come, so sit tight, Miff's gotchu!
As Miff and Twilight walked through the castle, which by the way seemed really big, Miff just thought about what to do tomorrow. His thoughts ran through his head like his thoughts were having a marathon. Should I unpack first? Oh, but I gotta get some food... maybe Twilight would get me some break fast. She seems really nice, though I probably shouldn't count on it... I don't have that many bits, but maybe I could spend some of what I have on dinner at the cafe I saw walking around? Ow... my head hurts...
"MIFF!?" Twilight yelled, knocked him out of his thought storm.
"What, what, why'd you yell so loud?" Miff asked.
"Because I was calling your name for a while and you just kept walking and rubbing your head!"
Miff then realized he was a couple yards in front of Twilight. He started to walk towards her, when he saw something that startled him.
"AAAAAAAAAA!!!" Miff yelled.
"Miff, Miff, calm down!" Twilight said.
"CALM DOWN?" He yelled in surprise. "THERE IS A DANG DRAGON IN YOUR CASTLE! QUICK, USE YOUR MAGIC TO GET RID OF IT!"
The little purple and green dragon just looked at the two, first at Twilight, then at Miff, then at Twilight, then he laughed.
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" He laughed.
Miff was even more frightened. "Twilight, he's laughing at me! HE'S LAUGHING AT ME! HE'S GOING TO BURN ME!"
"Miff..." Twilight said, looking down and shaking her head. "This is Spike, my assistant. I raised him from a baby.
"Twilight! Don't tell him I'm your assistant! I was having fun!" Spike said.
"Oh... um... hi Spike..." Miff said.
"Who's this funny friend of yours Twilight?" Spike asked. "Is he new here?"
"Yes Spike." Twilight said. "He's moving in next door."
"Oh cool! I see your a pegasus." Spike said looking at Miff. "Can you fly fast?"
"Um, yeah." Miff said. "I can fly pretty fast."
"I think you and our friend Rainbow Dash would get along great!" Spike said.
"Oh, I know Rainbow Dash! She's pretty famous in Manehattan, where I used to live."
"You used to live in Manehattan! Wow, my friend Rarity would like you for that!" Then Spike got really close to Miff. "I'm watching you. Don't you steal my girl!"
"Um... okay?"
"Good."
"Okay, so know that we're done with that, why don't we find Miff a room?" Twilight suggested.
"Again, are you sure you're okay with me staying here? I don't want to cause an inconvenience." Miff asked.
"No no, you're fine! No one in Ponyville should be left out!" Twilight answered.
"Well, except me... I get here, and you and Spike are the only people I've talked to all day."
"Really? Usually my friend Pinkie Pie always greets everyone. She IS taking a trip to her family at the rock farm, but she always finds a way."
Of all days. Miffelmesh is not the one who enjoyed being left out. And he was always trying to be friendly, so he almost never got left out. If he wasn't doing something he was invited to, it's because it was something he didn't like, such as taking a walk.
"Well, here's your room Miff!" Twilight said. "It should be alright, although no one ever goes in these rooms, and they are rarely cleaned. So sorry about that. If you need anything, just let me know."
"Okay, thanks! I really appreciate all your help!" Miff said, as he walked into the room.
Miff just sat in his bed. He just sat there. He couldn't go to sleep. He was too excited. Tomorrow was a special day, and not because he was finally moving into a house. Tomorrow was a big day for him. And he couldn't wait. Then, he eventually started to drift off, and fall asleep.

I am deeply sorry for not adding to this story for a while, I actually forgot about it, which sounds awful, but don't worry, I'm here now (I say to the 3 people standing in the audience). Please enjoy the rest of this story!
After gathering together what had just happened, Miff looked at where the blur had landed, and there sat the one and only, Rainbow Dash. She was awfully dazed, having rammed into a wall at full speed. As Rainbow sat there rubbing her head, Miff started to walk over to her. He grabbed her by the arm and helped her up.
"You okay Rainbow?" Twilight asked.
"Of COURSE I'm okay! Why wouldn't I be?" Rainbow said. Twi smiled and rolled her eyes. Suddenly, three other ponies ran inside the castle.
"Twi! You okay?" asked one of the ponies.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Twi said. They all looked towards Miffelmesh. Rainbow was so dazed by the wall, that she had just noticed the pony who had helped her up.
"Who the heck are you?" Rainbow asked. Everypony was looking at Miff.
"That's Miffelmesh, he moved to Ponyville yesterday. He's moving into the house that's down there." Twilight answered. Miff smiled awkwardly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Miffelmesh." said another one of the ponies.
"Call me Miff." Miffelmesh said.
"Oh yeah! Miff, this is Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy." Twilight said, pointing to the three ponies. "And you know Rainbow Dash." Suddenly there was a rather large growl. Everyone looked at Miff, who had the widest eyes you will ever see.
"Hungry?" Rainbow asked with a chuckle. Miff smiled awkwardly, and nodded.
"Well, why don't we all go to the dining room?" Twilight asked. "I'll make breakfast."
"Sounds great! It'll give us a good chance to learn more about ya Miff!" Applejack said.
"Sounds good to me!" Miff said. He was very happy he was finally making friends.
But, he was still very worried about the dream. And as they talked, Miff heard a voice in his head. Evil is never truly dead. But he didn't say anything about it. He had just made a bunch of new friends, and he didn't want to mess it up by making them think he was mental or something. So he just kept eating and talking.

This was a fun chapter to write. I like foreshadowing future events, it's just fun and I don't know why. Anyways, enjoy the rest of the story!
After breakfast, Miff decided to go get a look around Ponyville. Rainbow told him about a club that was showing DJ P0n-3 as a special guest. He had no idea who that was, but it was dubstep, so it's gotta be good. So he was planning on going to the club that night. Rainbow said she was definitely gonna be there, so she'd meet him there.
Miff stepped outside the castle and took all his stuff down to his house, and set up his bed (so he didn't have to sleep on the floor), which only took a couple minutes, and then he went to go explore Ponyville. He checked out the arcade, he took a nap under a tree in the park, and he ate at the cafe. As he ate there, he saw a poster that had to do with one of his favorite things to do. GAMING.
There was a gaming competition at the park on Friday night. Since he was gonna stay up late at the club tonight, he was glad it was on Friday, because Friday was a couple days away, so he had time to get his sleep done and train his gaming skills for a while. He looked at the games that were gonna be played, and wouldn't ya know it, they were all games he had. He put his name on the roster, and went home to get ready for the club.
He was ready. Miff was dressed up in his custom black shirt with his logo on it in turquoise, and some jeans. He knew he was ready, yet something in his head told him he wasn't. He thought and looked around for anything he could have forgotten, but he was all set. He checked himself in the mirror, and thought he looked good. So he went out the door to meet Rainbow Dash at the club.
It was not hard to find the club, even without Rainbow Dash's directions. Because of the special appearance by DJ P0n-3, there were huge colorful flashing lights going up into the sky, and Miff's gaming brain made him immediately think, Oh hey, beacons. As he got to the club, there were two guards who seemed pretty vicious, and they wouldn't let Miff through.
"You're not on the list." One of them said, with his very heavy Scandinavian accent.
"I was invited here by Rainbow Dash!" Miff argued, hoping with little hope that they would let him through for that. Suddenly Miff saw Rainbow sitting in the club through the doors.
"Rainbow! Rainbow Dash!" Miff yelled, hoping she would hear him and let him in. The guards immediately grabbed him and started to pull him away. Rainbow hadn't noticed him. But what she DID notice was a blur of motion out of the corner of her eye. She looked over to see Miff flapping wings, kicking, and basically just struggling in general. She flew to the door.
"Wait guys! He's with me." She said, as the guards dropped him. As they walked back to the doors, the Scandinavian guard started to apologize.
"I'm sorry I didn't believe you. Also, I saw your shirt. You know Miffelmesh on Youtube?" The guard asked.
"Well I should hope so." Miff said as he and Rainbow walked through the doors. "I am him." He said, right before the door shut behind him. The guard's jaw dropped (The author cringes at how he just basically gave himself a shoutout).
Miff and Rainbow sat down at a table. It was around 20 minutes until DJ P0n-3 showed up, so they just decided to chill for a while. They ordered quite a few beers, so when the announcer said that DJ P0n-3 was ready to perform, they were both pretty wasted. They both went to the dance floor to go get a closer look. Miff struggled to stand, but when he heard the dubstep (which was the best dubstep he had ever heard), he mustered the strength to look up. When he did, what he saw shocked him.
At the turntable was a white mare, with a big blue and turquoise mane and tail, with a double music note for a cutie mark. She looked exactly like the beautiful mare in Miff's dream. She looked over in his direction, and he was about to wave (stupid, I know, but he's heck drunk so, yeah), when suddenly he was grabbed by the shoulders and pulled over by Rainbow, and she started making out with him HARD (because she was drunk too, remember?).
Miff started to feel woozy, and passed out mid-makeout.
Author's Note
Yeah, this was a nice dark-ish turn for the story. But hey, Miff found one of the people he was looking for. The other one, well, you'll meet him later. As for now, see you next chapter!
Miff woke up at around 11:00 AM and looked around. For some weird reason, he could drink all he wanted, and never got a hangover, so he was feeling like he did every morning. Rainbow Dash, however, was in the bathroom throwing up. Miff wondered why Rainbow was at his house, but as he looked around, he noticed this WASN'T his house, it was Rainbow's house. He was in a bed, at Rainbow's house.
He started thinking, and remembered what happened last night, Rainbow making out with him, the guards, the epic music, and DJ P0n-3. He DIDN'T remember what happened after noticing that DJ P0n-3 was the mare from his dream. I thought I passed out, but I must've blacked out and came here instead, either that or Rainbow carried me home. Miff thought. Rainbow walked out of the bathroom rubbing her face with a wet towel.
"Hey, you're awake." She said. "How'd you sleep? Because I feel like I could die."
"That's just your hangover talking, trust me." Miff said.
"Hey wait, why don't YOU have a hangover?" Rainbow asked.
"It's weird, but I've never really seemed to get hangovers, no matter how much I drink." Miff answered.
"Well, if I was like that, I'd be SO happy right now." Rainbow said, as she stumbled over to the bed to lean on it.
"Soo.... what happened last night?" Miff asked. "I remember the guards and everything, but I don't remember what happened after being at the dance floor for a few minutes. I think I blacked out."
"I blacked out as we walked to the dance floor buddy. I'm no help to you." Rainbow said, as she blushed. Rainbow could drink a lot, and still got hangovers, but almost never blacked out. And she knew that she sure as heck didn't black out last night. Half the things she did that night were on purpose. But she made it look like she did. "You blacked out after me, what'd I do in that like, 10 minute window?"
"Well, we just talked, and when we went to the dance floor, DJ P0n-3 got to the turntables and started doing her thing, and once everyone had started cheering you, uh... started making out with me." Miff said. Rainbow blushed again. Then she started to giggle. She started laughing. Then Miff started laughing. Then they were both on the floor, full on laughing (I get a feeling I might accidentally make most of Miff's mornings start like this).
Once the laughing started to die down, Miff realized what time it was.
"Oh crap! I got to go!" He said, jumping up and running to the door. He was halfway out the door when he stopped and turned towards Rainbow. She was looking in the other direction.
"Hey Rainbow?" Miff asked.
"Yeah? What is it?" Rainbow said.
"Did we, um... y'know... do it, last night?" Miff asked, and they suddenly both got very uncomfortable.
"Um... no, I don't think so..." Rainbow answered.
"Oh okay, thanks!" Miff said, relieved. He walked out the door and went home. It was Thursday, and he had to get ready for the gaming tournament tomorrow.
Once he got home, he unpacked his TV and game consoles, and sat down, and started playing. He was playing for hours. There were six games being played, and Miff spent an hour on all of them. He got hungry in the middle and ate lunch, then kept playing. At around 4:45 PM, he took a nap. A late night of drinking and partying gets you tired, plus he had a headache from the six hours of gaming. He napped until dinner, then ate and spent 30 minutes playing more games, and he was gonna sleep for the night.
He was almost asleep when he heard some shuffling. He sat up and looked around. He saw nothing, so he laid back down. He heard it again, and it was coming from under his bed. He looked under his bed and something jumped out. Miff screamed.
Author's Note
Yeah yeah, I know, a sex reference. But if you freaking would look at the genres then you'd probably calm down a little more XD. Anyway, I hope you're enjoying the story so far, because I sure am. Anyways, see you next chapter!
7. WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!
Miff screamed, but suddenly had somepony's hoof over his mouth, shushing him.
"Calm down, no danger here silly!" The silhouette said with a giggle. Miff turned on the lamp, and in front of him stood a pony that was entirely pink.
"Hi! I'm Pinkie Pie! You're new here aren't ya! Sorry I forgot to give you a special greeting, but this is good enough! I mean, who doesn't love being scared half to death at night in their room from a pony coming out their bed?" The pony said.
"Hey, one question." Miff said.
"Okey dokey!" Pinkie said with an excited bounce.
"WHAT IN CELESTIA'S NAME ARE YOU DOING IN MY HOUSE?!" Miff yelled, loud enough to shake the house.
"I never got to give you a special greeting, so I thought I'd do it now!" Pinkie said. "What's your name?"
"Miffelmesh, but you can call me Miff. I expected a special greeting, but not at 10 PM in my room." Miff said.
"How did you expect this? Do you have Miffy sense or something?" Pinkie asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Twilight told me you usually give special greetings to new ponies, so since you never gave me one when I first got here, I just assumed you'd give me a late one."
"Oh you know Twilight? While I was on the rock farm visiting my family, I heard a scream that my Pinkie sense told me was coming from Twilight's castle! So I decided to pack my stuff and come here! But don't worry, I'm going back to the farm this Friday to continue my visit!"
Oh yippee, Friday. I was hoping all of Twi's friends could be there to cheer me on, but now that I think about it, this one seems a little crazy... Miff thought.
"Well," He said. "I'm gonna hit the hay, I'm really tired."
"Oh, okay." Pinkie said. "I'll come back tomorrow then!"
"Fine by me, I'll probably be here." Miff said. Tomorrow was the last day he had to practice for the tournament. Pinkie opened his window.
"Um, Pinkie, do you wanna take the door?" He said.
"Nope!" Pinkie said, and jumped out the window. Miff heard a crash.
"I'm okay!" Pinkie yelled up into Miff's bedroom. Miff rolled his eyes and smiled, then he went to sleep.
"Octavia Melody, Trixie Lunamoon, Vinyl Scratch, Derpy Hooves, Miffelmesh Messaround, Button Mash, Scootaloo, Princess Luna, Sweetie Belle, Neon Lights (yes, I did), Gabisbobob Dat-Tato-Name, Ultimate Crusher, Applebloom..." The announcer started saying names, but Miffelmesh was so excited to hear Gabisbobob's name, that he didn't hear the next one, and the announcer kept going.
"Jeffmamffej..." The announcer kept going. Well, if Gabis is here, then Jeff is gonna be. Miff thought.
"And finally, Diamond Tiara." The announcer finished. Miff was gonna talk with his friends, but then the first round immediately started.
The game for the first round was Super Smash Ponies.
The first game was Octavia against Trixie, and Octavia played like she never played video games before, and was crushed by Trixie.
The second game was VInyl against Derpy, and Derpy jumped off the map right at the beginning. So that was a win for Vinyl, but Miff wasn't watching this one, he was eating a giant pretzel.
The third game was Miffelmesh against Button Mash, and Miff thought it would be a piece of cake, since Button was just a kid, but Miff had to try pretty hard to win, but he did it eventually.
The fourth game was Scootaloo against Luna, and Miff was eager to watch this one, and Scoot was absolutely DOMINATED. Miff was surprised at how good Luna was.
The fifth game was Sweetie Belle against Neon Lights (again, yes, I did), and Neon did it, no sweat. Sweetie walked out with a huge smile on her face. Miff was confused, but shrugged and kept watching.
The sixth game was Gabis against Ultimate. Miff didn't cheer for anyone, since it was his best friend against his cousin, But Gabis won, as anyone who knew him, expected he would.
The seventh game was Applebloom against the pony Miff hadn't heard the name of, so Miff watched this one to see if he could figure it out. The mysterious pony had a black jacket on with the hood over his head, so Miff had no idea, and after the game, the pony ran out without anyone noticing him.
The eighth game was Jeff against Diamond Tiara, and Jeff completely crushed Diamond, and Diamond walked out saying "The sun was in my eyes..." And Jeff rolled his eyes.
Now it was the second round, and the game was Super Mare-io Kart.
The first game of the second round was Trixie against Vinyl, and Miff was in the mood for another pretzel, so he wasn't there again. The game was a hard fight, but eventually Trixie came out on top by just a little bit. Vinyl was satisfied with how far she had gone (although it wasn't very far).
The second game of the second round was Miff against Luna, and it was also very hard. WHY DA FUDGE DO I GET THE CHALLENGES?! Miff thought, but he had to focus. Luna was about to win, and was pretty far ahead, then luck came to Miff's side, and he scored three red turtle shells and a blue flying one, and won by the tiniest little pixel. He hoped his next game would be easier. After the game, Luna came up to him and started talking to him.
"You should most definitely tutor me in your techniques of the gaming!" Luna said.
"Sounds good! See ya later!" Miff said, as he went to watch the third game.
The third game of the second round was Neon Lights against Gabisbobob, and Gabis dominated, and not many people really expected that.
The fourth game of the second round was Jeff against the mystery pony. The mystery pony hid his identity again, and so Miff never figured out who is was, but the mystery pony won, and Jeff just walked away, trying to put the pieces together to find out who it was, but got nothing.
Now it was the third round, and the game being played was Pony Tetris, which was just like normal Tetris, but it was blocky ponies falling in different formations.
The first game of the third round was Trixie against Miffelmesh, and Miff was worried he was gonna get another challenge, since Trixie had done so well so far. But Miff got just a few more lines to disappear than Trixie within their 3 minute time limit.
The second game of the third round was Gabis against the mystery pony. Gabis knew he was gonna figure out who this was, but didn't. Gabis lost too, and this was a surprise to a lot of people.
Now it was the final round, Miffelmesh against the mystery pony, and they were playing Super Mare-io Bros, and the winner was whoever got the highest score (which, in case you didn't know, is gotten by getting power ups, coins, defeating bad guys, and beating it in little time). It was very close, but Miff eventually won by about ten points.
Before Miff got swept away by the screaming fans (I don't know...), the mystery pony flashed his red eyes at Miff and ran off. After the announcer finished getting Miff down from the hill of ponies cheering his name, all the contestants met in a building that was reserved for them.
There were only sixteen ponies there, but it seemed pretty crowded. Miff looked around and saw something that made his jaw drop. The beautiful mare from Miff's dream and the club was there, sitting with Octavia, and they were just talking. Miff was gonna go talk to her, but was really nervous. He spotted Luna, so decided to sit with her.
Miff and Luna had tons of fun talking about video games, and they decided to get together sometime next week, and so they could talk, they exchanged P-mail addresses.
Miff went home, and then remembered the mystery pony. The fact that he kept his identity hidden was very suspicious, and Miff recognized those eyes, he just couldn't put his hoof on it. Miff's eyes suddenly went wide, and he turned a bit pale. He knew who it was, and the nightmare was happening.
Author's Note
I apologize about the pretty long break from writing a chapter, I kind of, um, forgot. But anyway, yes, a cliffhanger, I totally did that on purpose. The whole thing about the mystery pony, that's a thing that has to do with my Youtube channel about the "stickman counterpart from another universe" that is mentioned in the first chapter. I hope you don't mind, but Pony Miff will be kept off of Youtube for personal reasons. Anyway, feel free to discuss in the comments who you think the mystery pony may be, I'll talk with you, but won't reveal anything, but don't expect to find evidence on my channel, I don't have him there yet. I'm gonna wait a while until I write the next chapter, to give you guys some time to talk.
"Gosh dang it freaking mother fudge why me UUUUGGGHH!!" Miff said completely alone in his house. He knew this would happen, he just knew it. Why was he surprised? It's normal he was angry, but why was he surprised? Maybe because everything was starting to go so right. He had no idea, but he was freaking pissed (no, that's not a cuss) about it.
Miff had dealt with this thing before, and it was one of the worst things he's ever done. It was hard. It was sad. It was painful. He didn't want to have to go through that again. But there was no choice. If he didn't do anything about it, the world would probably end. It was very troubling. He decided to do what any regular person would do when faced with a life threatening situation.
There was a knock on Miff's door, but Miff had no idea, he was napping. The knock happened again. Miff was sleeping while holding a spoon and a half eaten tub of ice cream, with about 3 empty tubs laying on the floor. The knock happened again. Miff's TV was one as he laid there snoring lightly. The knocked happened again, but louder this time. Miff was still sleeping. A groan was heard outside, and there was a huge bang and a thump. The door had wiggled a bit, and there was a scream outside. There was some muffled talking outside.
"HAHA! That was the best thing I've ever seen! Do it again!"
"Oh yeah, well let's see you do it!"
"Okay then, I will."
The doorknob fell off the door on both sides of the house.
Oh great, what'll we do now?"
"Oh shush yourself, I can dismantle a window."
There was a crash that woke Miff up, and the window right next to the door was shattered, with a pony laying on the floor.
"Heya Miff." The pony said.
"GABIS!" Miff said in excitement. "How are you doing?"
"I'm doing not alone." Gabis said, pointing to the broken window.
The other pony poked his in the house.
"You okay Gabis?" He asked.
"JEFF!" Miff said, again with excitement.
"Oh hi Miff, did you know Gabis can dismantle a window?" Jeff said.
"Yeah, I can see that." Miff said with a chuckle.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that, I'll pay to get it fixed for you." Gabis said.
"Oh really?" Miff asked?
"No." Gabis said, putting on a very upset expression.
"Yeah, thought so." Jeff said.
"Anyways, why'd you break through my window to get in here?" Miff asked.
"Oh yeah! Miff we need to talk." Gabis said, as Jeff climbed i the window. "Did you have The Dream again?"
"Um, yes, and I think I know what you're about to say." Miff said, looking very concerned.
"So, about this dream, do you have any cheese we can borrow?" Jeff asked. Miff looked very confused.
"What?" Miff asked.
"Do you have ANY cheese?" Gabis asked.
"Yeah, why?"
"We need it for something super important."
"You can have it, but what does this have to do with The Dream?"
"Oh nothing, I just needed some cheese or an experiment."
"Guys, The Dream is not something you joke about, it's very serious." Miff said.
"Um, okay." Jeff said.
"Wait, did you say you had The Dream?" Gabis asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact, I did have The Dream, when I was staying at Twilight's castle." Miff said.
"And um, *clears throat*, what were you doing at Twilight's castle?" Gabis asked, with a smug smile and a raised eyebrow.
"Gabis, no." Jeff said.
"Anything, special?" Gabis asked.
"Gabis behave." Jeff said.
"No, I just had nowhere to stay, and she offered to let me stay at her place." Miff said.
"What bedroom did you sleep in?" Gabis asked.
"Gabis stop." Jeff said.
"A guest bedroom." Miff said.
"Are you suuurre?" Gabis asked. He was suddenly smacked on the back of the head by Jeff, and fell to the ground.
"So, if you actually had the dream, what are you gonna do?" Jeff asked.
"What I have to." Miff said.
"Wow. That was extremely cheesy." Gabis said, getting up while rubbing his head.
"Shut up, I'm having a moment." Miff said.
"You can't tell me what to do, I can easily take you out, plus, I'm the leader of the Holy Dragon Alliance." Gabis said, do the chant with Jeff.
"You sound more like gorilla's when doing that chant, and the alliance only has two members, because you won't let me join." Miff said.
"You're not cool enough." Gabis said. Miff laughed and rolled his eyes. But his joy was immediately gone as he remembered what he had to do.

Okay, I don't think I've said this yet, but Gabis and Jeff are actually real friends that I have, and they are on my channel. They're the other two people I was with in my first video on Youtube. Don't tell them, they'd hate me if they knew I wrote pony fanfic.
I really wish I didn't have to deal with this. Miff thought, as he sat on his bed, Jeff and Gabis in his kitchen using his cheese and trying to mutate it. Sometimes being special sucks. There was a knock on the door, that seemed to stop suddenly, and then a pony's silhouette in through the window's curtains.
"Who is it?" Miff asked. The pony crawled in through the window. It was Rainbow Dash, and she looked very excited to see Miff.
"Heya Miff, couldn't help but notice your window is smashed." She said.
"Yeah, you can blame my friends for that one." He replied.
"Oh okay. Any chance I could meet these said friends?" She asked. She thought that she could get closer to Miff by being friends with his friends so they'd all be friends and friendship would be friendly spread. There was a lot of friendship in the idea, although the whole point was pretty much to cause romance.
"Yeah, they're in the kitchen trying to mutate my cheese."
"Sounds, um... interesting." Rainbow said, very confused.
"Yeah, they're cool people." Miff said. "JEFF! GABIS! COME HERE!"
"Hey wait, weren't those two in the gaming tournament earlier today?"
"Yeah."
"What do you need Miff? We're so close to getting it." Gabis said.
"And by so close to getting it you mean...?" Miff asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We have no idea what we're doing." Jeff answered. Rainbow broke out into laughter and fell on the floor.
"Hey who's this?" Jeff asked.
"This is Rainbow Dash, my friend." Miff answered.
"Oh cool, nice to me-" Gabis was immediately cut off by an explosion coming from the kitchen. "AW FUDGE, IT HAPPENED!!"
"What, you got the cheese to mutate?" Rainbow asked.
"No, the same thing that caused us to have to come here and use Miff's cheese." Jeff said. Rainbow fell on the floor in laughter again.
"Wait, so what do we do now?" Gabis asked.
"Now, we leave to go buy more cheese and don't come back in the story until needed for a final fight or something." Jeff said.
"What?" Rainbow asked.
"Long story." Miff said.
"I've got time." Rainbow said.
"We don't! The story's boring and long, so bye!" Gabis said, grabbing Jeff by the arm and crashing through the other window by the door.
"You had to go through the other window?!" Miff yelled.
"Yeah, it's for comic relief, don't worry!" Gabis yelled as he ran off, dragging Jeff behind him.
"Anyways, back to this story." Rainbow said.
"Oh yeah! Sit tight, this will take a while." Miff said. "So, I had a normal life for the first five years, and as I got older, I grew more curious. I once ran off and explored this weird forest, and no it wasn't the Everfree Forest, it was a forest by my house that was said to have been completely normal, but as time passed, it just kinda became dead.
"Is all this true?" She asked. Miff nodded. Rainbow looked down at the ground and frowned. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she got a smile on her face. "Well, it may have been hard then, but it will be easier now, because you not only have Jeff and Gabis to help you out, you got me and the others to help you!"
"You'd really help me with something so life threatening?" Miff asked.
"Yeah! It wouldn't be the first time we've gone through something deadly." Rainbow said, very confidently.
"Gee thanks, I appreciate it." Miff said, with a smile.

Okay, a little news, as I was writing that backstory, I was making up Miff's actual backstory the whole time. Anyways, thanks for reading the story so far, and I hope you're enjoying!
Miff walked through Ponyville, just staring forward, as if his attention was fixed to one object, that never stopped moving away. But as he walked in that direction, he started to look around. He saw his family, he saw Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Princess Cadance. He saw Twilight and Spike. He saw a mare, who he didn't recognize, but man, was she beautiful. He was about to stop walking to admire the mare, but he couldn't. He was stuck walking in the same direction. He looked forward, and suddenly there was a blinding light. And he was walking right into it. He saw a pair of eyes as he walked. A very familiar pair of eyes. He had just realized who it was, and started to scream.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!"
Twilight and Spike bursted into Miff's room. Miff was sitting up on his bed, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Miff! Miff calm down!" Twilight yelled. Nothing happened. Miff was still screaming. Spike and Twilight looked at eachother, and shrugged.
"He'll run out of breath eventually. Let's just hope nopony can hear it." Spike said, sitting down on the floor. Eventually Miff did run out of breath, but he didn't stop. In fact, he just passed out, which kind of concerned Twilight. Spike just burst into laughter.
"We gotta bring this guy around more often!" Spike said.
A few minutes later, Miff woke up, saw Spike laughing on the floor, and Twilight looking very confused.
"Hey Twi, what's wrong?" Miff asked. Spike laughed harder.
Twilight sighed. "Miff, you literally woke up screaming bloody murder, and then passed out from breath loss."
"Oh really? That's we- never mind that actually sounds pretty normal."Miff said. Spike laughed harder.
"Did you have a nightmare or something?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, but it was just a dream. Nothing bad will happen." Miff said. "Did I really pass out?" Spike laughed harder. "I'll take that as a yes." Miff said, as he started to giggle (because come on. Passing out if funny sometimes), and then fell on the floor in laughter. Twilight just stared as Miff and Spike were rolling on the ground in laughter. She found it pretty funny, and eventually was on the ground too, laughing. Suddenly, everyone stopped laughing, as there was pounding on the door. Miff got worried.
See, Miff said nothing bad will happen, but he's had a dream like that before, ending with the pair of eyes. It was a nightmare (no pun intended), and Miff was the one who had to deal with it, because it took place when Twilight and her friends had to deal with Queen Chrysalis. So when he heard pounding on the door, he got worried, thinking that the nightmare (again, no pun intended) was beginning.

So yeah, this contained some pretty noticeable foreshadowing. Also, I'm not doing the OC requests anymore, which I know is kind of upsetting, but it's fine. It's not that big a problem. Anyway yeah! Enjoy the rest of the story!
Miff woke up at 5:30 AM. There was no time for sleep (despite the fact that he purposely got about 7 and a half hours of sleep). The tournament was today!
Miff got ready and rushed out the door to get breakfast. Suddenly all of Ponyville heard the same thing.
"WHY DA FUDGE!!!" Miff yelled at the top of his lungs. The cafe was closed and didn't open until 6:30. "Well fine then, I'll come back half an hour before the tournament starts, how about dat?"
Miff got home and trained himself in the games that were being played in the contest until 6:30. At one point he decided to lay on the ground instead of sit up on his bed, because he caught a glimpse of everypony walking around outside. His yelling must've woken everyone up. He shrugged. No time to worry about others inconveniences.
It was 6:15, and Miff was finishing up, when he realized, when he found the sign up sheet, he saw that it was a gaming contest and immediately signed up and walked away. He never looked at other names or saw if there was a prize or anything. When he finished (at about 6:20) he got on his computer and looked up the contest. There were 16 contestants, including him. The prize was 1,000 bits. Now that Miff knew, he was ready.
When Miff got to the park where the tournament was being held, it was PACKED. All the ponies separated into groups, with the pony they were cheering for. When Miff found his spot and sat down, Twilight, Rainbow, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Spike, and Pinkie Pie came over and sat with him.
"Hey Miff. I see you're competing. Nervous?" Rainbow asked.
"You know it. By the way, thanks for coming. I didn't know you guys were into gaming." Miff said.
"I AM!! Twilight and Rarity don't seem much into it but AJ me and Rainbow love gaming! You should see us playing, it starts out smooth and soft and goes insane later! *gasp* You should join us sometime!" Pinkie said.
"Good idea Pinkie. Anyway, the tournament starts in 5 minutes. We'll cheer you on!" Rainbow said.
"Thanks guys." Miff said with a smile.
"Alright!" The announcer yelled into the microphone. "The gaming tournament is about to start! Round 1! The contestants for this round are..."
