Seeing is Not Believing

(Nelson)

*WHAM* the only noise I heard as I was being pushed against the hard concrete walls of my school. The sharp piercing pain in my back as all the materials flowed out of my backpack. I couldn't see anything else but the large amount of people circling around us chanting for a good fight, one that I was not going to deliver. As my vision came back to me, it was greeted by a fist hurdling towards my face. Again my vision became hazy as a blurred face came across my eyes. “Anything else you want to say, you little fucking prick.” Derrick had said.

“All I asked was for you to improve your attitude a little bit!!” I said with the little breath I had.

“Well, hows this for an attitude adjustment” He said as a knee reached my chest.

All breath was out of me and everyone stood there just laughing and no one came to help. “Next time just keep it to yourself” Derrick said as he left me on the floor to gasp for air. As my vision came back everyone was pretty much gone and there were only Derrick and his friends just about to walk away. Even though I was in extreme pain I happened to notice something strange in the distance. Not strange as in something totally out there and that doesn't seem possible, no it was as simple as sadness in someones face I would not expect to see from a person who I thought could have no heart. “Yo Derrick you should that kid who's fucking boss huh?” one of Derrick’s friends said.

“Yea.... Yea I did” Derrick said with a sorrowful tone as he kept walking.

“What seems to be the problem you still mad at that kid HUH!!! Oh ill show him Not to mess with my man Derrick HEY KID YOU STILL GON...........” Derrick’s other friend was saying as he was cut off by Derrick.

“Just leave him alone damnet, enough been done to him all right!!!” he said with a very agitated tone in his voice.

“All right bro just saying if he lays another hand on you I will personally kick his a....”

“BRO JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT IT all right DAMNET!!!!!!” Derrick had said as he stormed off into the distance till I couldn't see him anymore.

I had actually overheard this whole conversation and I could tell by his tone that something was wrong. I wanted to know what and I wanted to know why and truthfully I knew something devastating was to happen to him on this very night.

(Derrick)

“I don't know why I do it all right I have no reason to hurt anyone.” I thought this as I stormed down the hallway to get to the parking lot.

“That kid didn't deserve any of the treatment I gave to him, if I wasn't just so fucking worried about how I want people to perceive me. What I'm doing to that kid is the exact thing I'm trying to avoid all right” I thought to my self again as I made it to my car and sat in the seat.

I drove off and found a place where no one was in sight, a very rural place in the outskirts of town that I went from time to time. I put my car in park and stood there for a couple of seconds. Before I even knew it I was crying my heart out, I couldn't even slightly control my emotions. I let them out, and they came out like a rain storm. I knew what I was doing was wrong and I don't have a family to thank to tell my what I'm doing is wrong. In my family your on your own no one talks to you and no one helps you. You find your own way and no one gives a shit about how good your doing in school and just how your day is, that is except for my dad.

My dad is the type of person who doesn't care about school and all that stuff he just sets rules and you obey them. If you break his rules he doesn't take to that kindly. A lot of times at night I can hear him beating my sister or it could be my mom and I usually try to avoid it but you cant forever.

Tonight I decided to stay out late I really needed time to reflect on my life and to see where I'm going with it and I can tell I'm not going to go that far with it. It was getting late so I finally decided to go home. I looked around and saw all the beet down trailers in my neighborhood, the smell of sewage and the rusted metal that seem to lie everywhere. I pulled up to my house walked in and only saw my dad, sitting there looking at me with his angered face.

“Where were you just now?”

“Oh no where just thinking about a lot of things.”

“I don't think you heard me right I said where the fuck were you. Do you even realize what time it is right now!!”

I glanced down at the time and shit it was 2:00 AM the time slipped by me.

“Ok I'm a little passed curfew please just don't be upset ok its just.......”

“OHHHH don't be upset its not the millionth time I heard that one before. Now tell me where were you?!?!?!”

This is a part of my life that I can honestly say I will not regret what I said or what I did, this is where my life changed forever. “Look dad I was just relaxing outside of town a little bit its no bi....” And before I couldn't even get a word in edge wise he slapped me wide across the face with his belt causing excruciating pain and blood to drip from my face. This is and was the final straw.

“How did that feel HUH do you feel all better huh!!! Now get out of my face I don't want to hear any more of your shit.”

“You know what dad I will get out you face. And you know what I'm gonna do you a favor, I'm gonna GET OUT OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!” I hollered as a ran up stairs and quickly started packing a bag and getting supplies for a life I had no idea was to come.

“OHH where you gonna go huh you have no friends and you have no place to go huh where you gonna go!!!!!!!!”

“Ill find some place all right just, just SHUT UP!!!!!!!!” I said seriously angered with my father as I packed my Iphone, food, liquids, and a tent set I had prepared for a camping trip. I had prepared for a camping trip to go on with my family one day.

“O. YEA LIKE YOULL FIND SOMEONE TO TAKE YOU IN WHEN YOU ACT LIKE A FUCKING MISBEHAVED LITTLE SHI.........” Before I let him finished a punched him across the face as I quickly ran out the door, got in my car and drove off, but right before I left the driveway I saw my sister, and my mom staring at me. I waved a farewell to them and who knew that would be the last time I would ever see them.

My Only Piece of Happiness

My Only Piece of Happiness
(Nelson)

I was walking home, the bruises still intact on my body. Life for me was no walk in the park. As I got home I was greeted by no one as usual. Everybody was to them selves as usual. Not that my parents would care about me, considering I'm the only adopted child in my family. They would always pay attention to every one of their kids except me, I was always left out.

Alone in a family that seemed distant from me I decided to do the only thing that brought my spirits up. As I head toward my computer I am greeted by my mane six wallpaper. I then load up equestria daily to read all the new articles posted threw out the day. Seeing all the new fan fics, original animation, and art makes me just make it threw another day.

As I was searching threw EQD received a mysterious email that was from an unknown address. I opened my email and looked at the message I received. Again there was no name, number, or address in this email. Only a simple message, I began to read out loud “Dear Nelson,” *How did he know my name*.

“You may not know me, but I know you, I know how miserable your life is and how much you hate your family. I Know that they don't respect you in any matter and they don’t even notice you, your just invisible to them.” These things are true I thought out loud I continued reading.

“I would like to make a proposition for you, but be warned this offer is a once in a life time offer and is not to be overturned quickly, your choice?” After that there is just two hyperlinks, one that said yes and one that said no.

There was many thoughts racing threw my head like how did it know me, how did it know about my family, and just what is this deal it talks about. The questions rambled on in my head. But now the only thing that stood in front of me was the yes or no hyperlinks in this email.

I thought about this carefully and I just thought about what could happen if I click yes and thought what would happen if I clicked no. In the end I have nothing to lose. I clicked yes, in my mind I could tell there was no going back this was final. The hyperlink opened a page with a huge amount of writing but the most noticeable writing was at the top saying “Portal to Equestria” this very well intrigued me as I read the instructions.

Portal to Equestria rules:
This spell can only be used once
You only can return to your world once and never go back to Equestria
Your world will remain unchanged as you are in Equestria

(Warning: you will not age while you are in Equestria and you will be the only one that will notice this.)

And that was almost it, under that was the words that must be said to go to Equestria.

For these souls that look so gloom
Take them from here and let them bloom
To another place where friendship stays strong
Take them to Equestria, When I sing this song

With all the rhymes I could only think of Zecora but other than that, the message was finished. Any normal person would have just push this aside not pay attention to it or even believe what it said is true, but with a person like me what else do I have to believe in.

I thought to my self when and where do I wanna try this? I thought about this long and hard and concluded I would try this tomorrow. Because I want to see the world for just one last time.

(Derrick)

I finally made it to the place just out of town where I knew I wanted to stay for a while. Turns out it was a camping sight that not much people know about. I set up my tent and began to start a fire. After all that was finished I began to cook some of the food I managed to sneak out of the house and I looked threw my Iphone. While looking threw it I looked in my videos and found episodes of a show called My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. My sister was on my ipod again I thought as I thoughtlessly deleted them of my phone.

I began to think of what I'm gonna do now that I'm on my own. One thing that was for sure is I do want to finish high school, If theres one thing I want to prove to my dad is that theres someone in the family that can finish high school. I will go back to tomorrow. I said to my self as I began to fall into deep thought. This thought didn't last for a couple seconds it lasted for a long time and even it was there when I was eating, putting out the fire, and making something to sleep on. As I got in my sleeping bag the thoughts overcrowded my mind about my mom and sister, and how I just abandoned them there to get beat even more and to just to get hurt by the evil fucking psychopath. After that I began to cry and the tears wouldn't stop, so that night I had to cry myself to sleep.

(Nelson)

Today was my last day of school and honestly I not sad that I'm gonna leave this place. The more I focused on the things around me the more I notice that no one ever even attempts to talk to me or even say hi or thank you. I’m not even mad that I'm gonna leave this all behind me I can live with that..

I was making my way to my last class, the hallways were empty and it was quiet to no extent, I could probably hear a feather drop. As I was making my way towards my class though I heard something in the distance, it was the sound that only sadness could make. The sound was at its highest point when I reached a janitors closet located by my classroom. I heard the sounds of tears coming from a person inside that closet, after some thought I decided to peek inside and I saw Derrick there crying his heart out. He was about to look up but I quickly shut the door and made it into my classroom. As I sat there, thinking just about things he could have been crying about I started to hear the people around class gossiping. From what I got out of it is that he had just ran away because his dad had beat him.

This devastated me and made me realize just why he messes with people. He doesn't want to beat up people he just doesn't want to be beat up. And now that he has ran away, no family, no true friends, I say he has nothing else to lose. I knew I had to something and I think I thought of just the thing to do. Could be risky but don't want to see someone even more miserable then me live like this.

What the Buck!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Derrick)

“Are you two all right?” A sweet kind voice asked as I began to regain conciseness.

“Yea I'm fine” I said with my eyes still closed as I began to try to get up. Weird it feels like I have four legs and no arms hmm... I finally got up and try to rub my eyes but as I lifted up my two arms in the front I completely fell on my face causing me to open my eyes once I hit the ground. I saw a mysterious purple figure in front of me and my vision was still a little hazy. I blinked a couple times to get my vision back to normal and I saw only to what I can describe as a cartoonish purple horse with purple hair with a pink stripe running down it.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH WHAT THE BUCK!!!!!!!!!!” I yelled out loud covering my mouth right as I said that. Wait why cant I curse? As I looked what was covering my mouth there was two hoofs in front of my face covering my mouth.

“SWEET CELESTIA WHY DO I HAVE HOOVES!?!?!?!?!?” I said out loud wondering why I couldn't curse again. As I began to look around I noticed a group of differently colored ponies standing around me. I also notcied another pony right by me also regaining conciseness right next to me. Thats the last thing I saw right before I fainted due to shock.

(Nelson)

As I was regaining conciseness I right away noticed another pony beside me fainting. No doubt in my mind that was Derrick fainting out of shock. I saw twilight starting to walk over to me. “Are you okay ummm.......... I never actually seen you in town before whats your name????”

Me having the hugest happy face you could ever imagine saying “Nelson, Nelson Fareheart, you must be twilight.”

“Yes, Twilight Sparkle to be exact, you must have heard of my research on the magic of friendship.”

For me that wasn't the reason but in didn't want to raise suspicion “Yes, fine work I must say!”

“Now umm Nelson, I must ask what were you and your friend doing on the ground passed out?”

“I BET THEY JUST GOT BACK FROM A CRAZY PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” I heard Pinkie Pie yell off in the distance and by then I was about to hop up and down in excitement but I tried to keep contempt to not raise any more suspicion I already caused.

I noticed twilights eyes roll and then I said “Actually we were walking here from a far away town and we ran out of food and water, we made it to this town barely and fainted out of heat exhaustion” this was the best excuse I could come u with in this amount of time.

“Oh you poor babies, here come into to my bakery and we’ll fix you up something good to eat all right!!” I heard Mrs.Cake yell off in the distance “Well umm. At least you can we need to get your friend down to the infirmary!!”

Right as she yelled that Nurse Redheart and her assistants came out of no where and brang Derrick to the Hospital. Mrs.Cake led me into her Bakery and gave me some delicious food and some water to fill me up. “That was wonderful thank you”

“Your welcome my dear and if you dont mind me asking where is your cutiemark?”

I looked at my flank and yes there was nothing there “Actually I never had a cutiemark umm........ I never found my special talent yet.” I said this hoping it was good enough excuse.

“Oh well thats a shame. I’m sure you’ll find it someday look on the bright side dear.” She said smiling at me.

“Thanks, how long has it been sense I got here?” I asked

“Oh I would say about and hour dear.”

“Oh well I have to check on my friend Derrick thank you for everything Mrs.Cake it was unbelievable.”

“It was my pleasure you go on and check on your friend now.”

“Alright have a wonderful day!!” was the last thing I said before exiting the room. Man I cant believe it I'm actually in Equestria, it really happened. That email really did work and now I'm as happy as can be. By now I was not thinking nor did I care who sent that email I was here and thats all that mattered to me. Truthfully I have never felt this happy before, I am the happiest I've been in my life.

(Derrick)

I have finally awoken again laying in a hospital bed. “Ahhh good it was just a dre...” I looked and my hooves were still their and what lied around me were a doctor and nurse looking at me smiling. “Ahhh your awake allow me to introduce myself my name is Doctor Hooves and this is my nurse Redheart” still in shock I said nothing.

“Ahhh still a little shocked from your black out well theres a visitor here to see you.” Visitor? I didn't know any one in this god forsaken place. After they said that I saw a blue pony walk in and the doctor and nurse walked out of the room.

“Hey their Derrick, your finnaly awake.” The blur pony said. How did this one know my name?

“Who are you and where am I?” I said with confusion and anger in my voice.

He looked around as to make sure no one was there then he began to spoke “Ok Derrick you may know me and I know you my name is Nelson and i’m the kid that you beat up at school.

I thought for a second, “Yea I do remember you, hey um..... I'm sorry for that but where are we?” I asked.

“Well you may not believe me but ill explain it but you may find it hard to believe.” And he began to explain.

The Explanation

(Also before I start this chapter, I should mention that Nelson is in fact a Unicorn and Derrick is a Pegasus, just want to clear any confusion.)

(Nelson)

“Remember the day that you beat me up in the hallway?” I said to Derrick

“Yea remember that day again I am so sorry.” Derrick said with an apologetic voice but there was still a little curiousness in his voice, he wanted to know what that had to do with where we are.

“Well when you walked away I saw that look in your face, I knew you didn’t want to do that you had a reason but I had yet to figure that out.”

I could tell he still felt bad about the whole thing but it was hard to tell with the evil grin he was giving me.

“And just for some reason I knew that something was going to happen you that night can you tell me exactly just what, happened?” By the look on his face I could tell that he was surprised that I knew that.

“Well..” This was gonna be hard for him, I could tell by the tear in his eye going down his red mane. “That night was the night that I last saw my family. I went to a place out of town to just relax and examine my life and I did for maybe a little too long because when I got home my dad wasn’t well happy with that and well he whipped me across the face with his belt.”

I was stunned at hearing this I know that the kids around school that he got beaten by his dad but this is coming straight from the source. He was practically laying in a bath of his tears right now, I could tell this was more hard then I once thought for him.

“And well I had enough of his crap so I left that mother bucker in his place, and why can’t I curse for Celestia’s sakes!!!!” He said while letting out a slight laugh he knew he was over reacting.

“Oh its no big deal, now please if its non big deal, may you continue?”

“Ahhhhhh. Yes well um that was the final straw for me and I went up and packed up my stuff and left, but while leaving I saw my mom and sister just staring at me, I could tell they were saying “don’t go” but I had to” and he lost it and went back to more crying. I reached into comfort him but he pushed me away. “Now do you mind telling me where the buck we are?”

He told me that and he deserves to know after all the stuff his dad put him through and the stuff I put him through. “Well (I looked around to make sure no one was here) have you ever heard of a show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?”

“Yea my sister put that on my Iphone, what you gonna tell me were in a land of magical, flying ponies and well.... that backfired on my saying that I am a..... well what am I anyways?”

“You’re a Pegasus but we will get to that all in due time but now let me continue. Ok, you are in a magical land known as Equestria and you and I well, are ponies.”

“Yea. You know I could kind of see that.” he said with a very smart tone in his voice.

“Well were in a little town know as Ponyville and I’ll introduce you to everyone here. But those are the basics that you need to know now, let me tell you how we got here and why were here.”

“Finally!!!”

“Ok well one day while searching threw the internet I received a mysterious email promising everlasting happiness and well I had no happiness at all my parent never said a word to me in my life and never supported me threw anything I’ve tried. So I had to take this opportunity.” as soon as I said that he felt worse about beating me up and he apologized again and I continued my story. “Well it promised a portal to Equestria and that was enough to intrigue me.

“Ok so that explains sort of how we are able to get here, who sent you this email exactly?”

“No clue no name, no address, nothing.”

“Well that’s a mystery, can you continue and tell me just why you brought me along to enjoy the ride?”

“yes, well one day while walking to class I heard someone crying in the janitors closet. That person was well I think you can answer that.” as I said that its like he had a sudden realization about something.

“So you were the person that was peeking through the door!!”

“Yes, well after that I wondered what you crying about and the rumors around school about you floated around and well, I just couldn’t stand the thought of a person more miserable then me in the world I was about to leave behind. So I decided to bring you along, also answering the question about the mysterious email you received about meeting at the school.” after that he started crying again.

“Man... nobody actually cared about me that much, why did you bring me though (sniff) I was a complete dick to you.”

“Well I like to give people a second chance you know, it’s a policy I grew my self up on.” I said with a giant smile on my face. “I also thought you just you know be happier around here, almost all the time theirs a happy pony to talk to around here, and they all treat you like well like family, something I never had.” I made my self sad now but I kept my spirits up.

“Well, what makes you think really that I’d be happier here?”

“Trust me this place will grow on you, please just give it some time. And might I ask you don’t seem shocked that were no where near home and are in a totally different universe.”

“Well I never really had any friends anyways, just a bunch of yes men. And the only people I regret leaving behind are my sister and my mom, now can I ask you something, what happens to are universe while were here?”

“I was just about to get to that, there some rules I have to tell you and some are just rules that you need to know for the sake of knowing and some are mine and you must abide by alright?” I said with all the seriousness in my voice that I could conjure up.

“Ok”

“Well let me lay them down for you one was the one included in the email, Your world will remain unchanged as you are in Equestria, another one was that the spell can only be used once, and those were the only ones included in the email. Now time for mine and this must be abided by at all times unless it is just you and me and no one else is around, alright. One which is are back story, we traveled from a far away land and we passed out from dehydration and lack of food. Second, no one must know of the existence of the other world except and you GOT IT!!!”

“Alright I got it gosh settle down there.”

“Im sorry. ok and third, if you didn’t notice all the other ponies have these images on there flank, those all called cutiemarks and they represent your special talent and as you can see, we have none. So that adds on just to our back stories we never found are special talent and the rest is are own personal journey to find it. That ought to be exciting and trust me but finding your special talent may not sound that exciting but, when you get it, its one of the best feelings ever, well except when you find your special some pony buts that for another time.” when I said that I could tell on the look on his face and it said “we have to fall in love with these ponies????” but he might or might not warm up to the idea of having a special some pony. “OH!!! and one other thing, while we are in here we never age and we will be the only ones to notice this so do not mention that to any pony on any circumstances or that will cause a confusion and mass hysteria that even pinkie pie couldn’t cause.”

“And that’s it?”

“Yes that is it, any questions?”

“Yes two do we actually have to fall in love with a pony and can I PLEASE!! Get some thing to eat im starving.”

“Answers to that are no and ill get the doctor on my way out, and once you get out of the hospital ill introduce you to everypony in town and also I have to falsely introduce myself to them so it ought to be a fun time.” After that I left and got the doctor to get him some food.

Now you maybe wondering why I didn’t mention that we could go back, well some things are just better left unsaid and he would want to go back almost instantly if I told him of a way back. So until it comes that day, and I hope I doesn’t, that part of the email is just known by me, and it will stay that way.

Meeting New Peop... I Mean Ponies

Meeting New Peop... I Mean Ponies

(Nelson)

"Alright now you got something to eat now are you ready to get to meet the nice folks around town?" i said with glee in my voice.

"yea i guess, you know for a sandwich with a bunch of leaves, it didn't taste that bad. well i guess lets get this ove...." Derrick said and stopped in mid sentence and right as he did he stretched his wings for the first time and just as he did his face was full of relief like he just got a million pounds lifted off his back.

as soon as he did that he lifted of into the air and flew off as fast as a speeding bullet. Literally i think rainbow dash would of probably been jealous. he flew like he has been flying for his whole life. "WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!" he yelled out at the top his lungs "Nelson I've never felt so alive in my life these wings have just set my soul free. i never knew flying would feel this good."

"I see your friend maid a complete recovery." Twilight had said with a huge smile on her face.

"Yea he sure did, he really missed flying as you can tell."

"Ha, i can tell, I'm gonna have to introduce him to rainbow dash, they would make great friends." she said just as Derrick hit the ground right next to us. "Hi there, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and you must be Derrick, you friend told me about you."

"ummmm. yea and hey your the girl that i saw when i woke up."

"i sure am, I'm so sorry about the travels you had to endure to get here."

"Ummmmm Yea it was a hard trip down here."

"I bet it was, Well i just came down here to tell you guys that you are welcome to stay in my library until you decide to leave.

"OH THAT SOUNDS SPLENDED!!!!!" i yelled as i began to jump up and down with a huge smile on my face, I tried to hold it back but hey you try to hold that much happiness back when you are offered to stay at the one and only Twilight sparkles house.

"Alright well i got to be going on back to catch up with some studies ill see you colts later."

"Alright bye twilight!!" i said while waving a mile a minute good bye and right as she went out of sight i melted like butter and fell on the ground."

"Awww Nelson your totally falling for her." he said while he slowly flew off waiting for me to catch up.

"I am not she just... well shut up man lets just meet with the rest of the town ok."

So we trotted down the streets of ponyville and met most of the other ponies and i pretended not to know them but for derrick it seemed meeting these new pony folk put a huge smile on his face.

"whats got you so happy?" i said with a hint of curiosity in my voice.

"Well it seems all these ponies just have a certain type of just pure love for you, like I've never experienced before. This is how it feels to be happy doesn't it?"

"Why yes, that is almost what complete happiness feels like just wait until you meet the next pony, you'll never want to stop smiling."

Right at that we walked into Sugercube Corner and me and derrick met up with Mr and Mrs Cake. "Why hello there dearie how you to doing." Mrs. Cake said with a smile on her face.

"Good Mrs. Cake, Just meeting everyone around town, just came here to introduce Derrick here to you.

"Awwww well I'm faltered, how you do there Derrick my names Mrs.Cake, and this is my husband Mr.Cake"

"How ya do Derrick."

"Hey Mr and Mrs Cake, Its nice to meet you two."

"Well theres one more i want you to meet PINKIE PIE COME HERE AND MEET SOME OF THE NEW PONYS IN TOWN!!!!!!! She'll be here in a couple of seconds you'll hear her coming trust me."

I was overly excited to meet pinkie pie i don't know wether to say the same for Derrick but there was still a smile on his face though. Just as that thought hit me a heard Pinkie from upstairs "*GASP* NEW PONIES" she said as i could hear her jumping and hit her head on the ceiling. She ran down stairs as fast as lightning and introduced herself like pinkie would.

"HI!!!!!!! MY NAMES PINKIE PIE WHATS YOURS OH YOUR COLOR IS BLUE SO YOUR PROBABLY LIKE BLUE STEALTH OR SHINING STAR OR OHHHHHHHH MAYBE BLUE WAVE OHHH I LOVE THE BEACH DONT YOU ITS SUCH A FUN PLACE TO HANGOUT WITH YOUR BEST BUDS AND OH WHATS YOUR NAME UNICORN WELL YOU RED YOUR NAMES PROBABLY DARK MAGIC HAVE YOU MET MY FRIEND TWILIGHT SHE LOVES MAGIC ONE TIME SHE MADE IT SO WE COULD WALK ON CLOUDS AND IT WAS SOOOOOOOO COOL I TASTED A RAINBOW AND HAD ALL SORTS OF FUN." right as she finished that sentence Mrs.Cake put her hoof over her mouth and whispered into her ear and then pinkie said. "I mean hi what your two names?"

"We both laughed and had huge grins on each others faces "Well Pinkie pie my name is Nelson and this is my friend Derrick its nice to meet you, I've heard a lot about you in twilights research on friendship your one interesting character."

"Well i might be and interesting character your names are so dull how bout any of my suggestions like OHHHHHHHHHH how bout like the red spell and the blue winger those names are cool I thought about getting my name changed to things like party pony or pink ballon but then i thought my friends like my name just the way it is and Have you ever thought about working on a cumquat farm, it such a silly word i know right but."

"PINKIE!!!!!!" Mrs and Mr Cake yelled at the same time and i think Pinkie Pie Got the point.

"Oh well it was nice to meet you all and i almost forgot, You to get ready for a awesome party I will set one up for you and its going SUPER SPECIAL oki doki loki. and it was so awesome to meet you two."

"HA it was nice to meet you to pinkie we'll see you again later."

"You Sure will BYE!!!!!!!!" she yelled as we waled out of the bakery.

We were both laughing so long while walking out of there. "That Pinkie Pie is sure a character." he had a hard time saying because he was laughing so hard.

"yea well that was the 2nd member of the mane six that we met now its time to meet the third member. and i think i know just who we want to meet."

"wait for all the ponies we met today who was the first member we met of this mane six we met."

"It was non other then twilight sparkle ahhhhhhh twilight."

"Oh right you and your love bird." had said while making kissing sounds at me but just went back laughing i could tell he wasn't making fun of me he was joking with me. He's actually starting to take a liking to me.

"Well all this meeting is getting pretty boring I'm gonna take a little fly around the town." he said and flew up and starting gliding around the town.

(Derrick)

You know what, this town is actually better then expected, meeting all these people, well i mean ponies and there all so nice to not one of them has said anything bad or done anything to hurt me. And Nelson, he's actually not a bad person I'm actually, happy he brought me here. And these wings, god the feeling of flying, the feeling of it just makes you let go of everything and you don't have a care in the world I've never actually felt this way before. life is just the way i wanted it to be back home. the thought of back "home"just makes me think of my mom and sister just staring at me think, Don't leave me here to suffer, i just cant think of it any more, i cant think of anything I've left behind especially not, dad.

As i was flying across the sky something flew past me, fast to as i tried to look what it was, all I saw was a tail with rainbow stripes passing by me and now in front of me, it looked back and and stuck out her tongue at me and made that noise it makes when you vibrate your tongue. Ok i thought if its a race you want its a race you'll get. I suddenly flew off with speed that i thought wasn't even possible passing this mare like it was nothing i looked back and did the same to her as what she did to me and kept flying. As i did she started to catch up and we were tied. we were going straight for a cloud, i thought we would go straight threw it but right then i hit the cloud with tons of force. I wasn't expecting that at all. Surprisingly it didn't hurt at all and i just laid back in a sort of shock but as right of that moment the mare looked over the cloud and started laughing. "HA looks like someone doesn't know the maneuvers to go threw a cloud" and fell on the cloud laughing.

"Well excuse me for being rude my name is Rainbow Dash I'm fastest Pegasus in Equestria, and you are?"

"Im Derrick i came here with my friend Nelson who is, well frankly i don't know right now."

"Well derrick id say you put up a decent challenge i haven't flew that fast in a while."

She put out her hoof and i did what i thought she was going for, a sort of fist bump but i guess in this case a hoofbump.

"yea it was some fun alright."

"Hey do you mind me asking but wheres your cutiemark?"

"Oh well i guess i just haven't found my special talent yet."

"Well i don't judge for some it just takes longer. Well I hope to see you some later Derrick you seem pretty cool but the weather calls."

I was confused by what she meant by the weather calls but i decided just to ask Nelson about it later. "Yea it was nice to meet you too, we gotta hang later."

"We do." Just as she said that Nelson came running and panting.

"Derrick, is that you I've been looking everywhere for you. come down here we have to meet everyone else in town, and.... is that Rainbow Dash up there you?" he asked.

"Why yes it is me and you must be Nelson, Derrick was talking about you, so exactly know my name."

"Well i have read all of twilights research on friendship and you were mentioned plenty of times in her research she has written."

"Oh so you've met twilight, thats nice, have you met the rest of the mane six yet?"

"No actually we've only met pinkie pie, Twilight, and you. Do you mind me asking where Rarity lives?"

"Not at all she lives in the house right over there well i have some weather to make ill see you to later nice to meet you, Oh and just a warning when visiting rarity she will probably try to test some new designs on you so get ready to play a little dress up with rarity." she slightly laughed and flew off and started collecting clouds.

"Well she's AWESOME" I said while walking over to this Rarity's house.

"She is a pretty cool and nice person to be friends with and she has soft spot in her heart but she tends not to show it."

"I can tell just with her personality." we both started laughing as Nelson knocked on the door to Rarity's house.

"Why hello there you two Gentle colts whats brings you to my Fashion Boutique? Oh and how rude of my self darlings my names Rarity and yours are?"

"Oh well my name is Nelson and this is my friend Derrick and it is an honor to meet you Rarity." Nelson had said and wow he is such a flank kisser.

"Well hello there you two i would love to stay and chat but i got a very important design i have to get finished by tomm. and i am just far to busy to talk right now."

"Oh thats ok." I said hoping to get out of there as fast as i can so i wont become a dress up doll like Rainbow Dash had said.

We started walking back when were heard in the distance "WAIT ACTUALLY I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!!" Oh great if thats who i thing it is get ready for hair and makeup. Rarity then ran and caught up with us and was panting heavily and floated a umbrella to cover her from the heat. "You two look like two marvelous colts to try my new designs on." And there it is i thought just as rarity said that.

"Um i don't know." Nelson said out loud "We still have plenty of people in town to meet."

"Yea Rarity give them a break." i heard somebody yelling above the clouds which, i could obviously presume was Rainbow Dash.

"But I would just die to see these two fabulously handsome ponies try on my new design for just a little bit." Rarity said as he gently started rubbing head close to Nelson. from what i could tell nelson was falling for this trick to get us in there by seeing his cheeks blush up as red as roses.

"Um yea actually i think um we have um a little time to try on some of your designs." Nelson started to say while sweat started going down his face.

"Uhhhhhhh *facehoof* you guys have fun in there then." Rainbow Dash said out loud and flew off. And wow the sarcasm in what she said had no where to hide.

(Nelson)

After the faltering Rarity let us in we were covered in design after design we were measured from hoof to hoof looking for a accurate model for her dressed and after what seemed like forever she was done. "I can not thank you two enough this helped me out dearly. Just for that i have something special for you two colts." Rarity had said. truthfully i was excited for what she had to give but derrick had the same face he had on threw the whole time he was here. straight face, eyes rolling, and the most blank and bored face i have ever seen. Truthfully it gave me quite a laugh threw out this whole experience.

When Rarity came back she was floating two tuxedos to us. surprisingly Derricks face had a surprisingly happy face on for these gifts. "These were just laying around and i noticed while working with you two they would fit you two perfectly." Rarity shouted out loud.

"Wow thanks," Derrick said "But isn't this just a little to much i mean all we did was pose for you."

"Oh pis posh it not hare off my mane you two have fun meeting the rest of the ponies in town. and if you don't mind me asking, where are your twos cutie marks?"

"Well surprisingly we never found are true talent yet were still on the search for them."

"Oh well keep the search going, (Gosh i hope this isn't how sweetie bell ends up like)" Rarity whispered under my breath and saw us looking at her and she just came back with a huge grin "Just ignore that but you two have a great day."

As we started waking outside of rarity's house Derrick asked me "Hey Nelson, why haven't you tried using you magic yet?" and what he said was true i haven't tried using any magic and frankly i didn't know how.

"Honestly i don't know why or even how to use magic."

"Oh well if you also don't mind me asking, Why did that pony rarity give us these tuxedos just for free?'" Derrick asked.

"Well Derrick, the mane six, as I'm referring to them as, are connected by this thing called the elements of harmony, and each one of them posses a special trait. Rarity's is Generosity, Rainbow Dash's is loyalty, pinkie pie's is well, laughter, Twilights is magic, Applejack's is honesty, and Fluttershy's is Kindness.

"Wow Thats actually pretty darn cool, and that also explains why rarity gave us these tuxedos." Derrick had said. "So when are we going to meet these Applejack and Fluttershy?

"Well ironically here they both come." he said as a yellow and orange colored ponies started walking towards us. They were both laughing at jokes there were telling to each other and having a wonderful time. "How are you two doing today?" as i said this Fluttershy started to shutter up and get a little scared of us two.

"Well howdy partners, haven't seen you two pony folk around here before whats your two's names?"

"Well my name is Nelson, and this is my friend Derrick. You two must be Applejack and Flutttershy, I've read all about you mares and the rest of the mane six in twilights research on friendship."

"Well you would be right my friend." She started shaking her hand fast up and down greeting both of us. "My name is Applejack and this is Fluttershy."

"Umm......... hi."

"Hello there applejack and Fluttershy my names derrick as you already know."

"Well fancy to meet you Derrick its always nice to meet new pony folk in town." she said politely. "and i know this is sudden to ask but.."

"Yea we know wheres are cutie mark, truth is we haven't found are special talent yet." we both said in sync while Applejack let out a light laugh

"you two must have already been asked that before I'm guessing. Well then can i ask where y'all two staying at?"

"Well actually twilight offered to us to stay at her library so were staying there for the time were here." i said.

"So you have met twilight huh well a friend of twilight is a friend of mine well i guess ill see you two around some other time and I'm sorry about Fluttershy shes a little well shy around the new pony folk around here."

"Oh its fine ill bet we'll be great friends later."

"ha i bet y'all will. oh and here comes twilight now." Applejack said while we watched Twilight happily trot down the road with her carrying two books on her back.

"Ahhhhhh i see you two met Applejack and sort of met Fluttershy." we both let out a slight laugh, heck even Fluttershy let out a laugh also. "so you just meet these two or the rest of the mane six?"

I was just about to say something when out of the sky we heard a mare yell out "yea they've met all of us." it was Rainbow Dash and she flew down form the cloud she was laying on to the ground to talk with us.

"Rainbow were you following these two around?" twilight asked slightly agitated.

"Well what if something exciting happened and i wasn't there. Or maybe my new friend Derrick here went to go get some sick air time and had no one to fly with." as Rainbow Dash finished that sentenced i looked at Derrick's face and i could tell by the way he looked he felt only one word could describe, loved, i guess he just never had a friend like her before who actually wanted to spend that much time with him or maybe, he just never really been called a "friend" before. But i didn't matter he looked like the happiest pony in Equestria and if he was happy, i was happy.

"You know it dash." he said as they both hoofbumped and everyone began to laugh again.

wow, i thought to my self, As i tried to wrap my head around all what was happening. I was now in one of the happiest places i would ever want to be. Everyone here at least cares about you, theres not one pony thats actually hated here everyone no matter how different is just accepted. I feel at home and i should feel at home, in fact this is my home.

As the laughter died down twilight began to talk again. "so you've pretty met met everyone else in town also?"

"Yep we sure did." Derrick said happily and joyfully speaking.

"Well i bet theirs one zebra you haven't met and shes right over there, Zecora!!!!!!!!" Twilight yelled at the zebra behind us. she started to turn toward us
with a happy, no care look on her face. she was holding a bunch of herbs and spices in her satchel probably for a bunch of mixtures and potions she was to make. She finally made contact with all of us having the same expression, that was until she locked eyes on me and derrick. Her face suddenly overcame with fear, almost as if she couldn't even move. She then without even a word in edge wise ran off into the Everfree Forest and she was out of sight.

"Well what in tarnation just came over that zebra."

"yea i have never seen her so fearful before. I wonder what she thought of." Fluttershy had said.

"Oh she probably just left some potion over cooking, she'll be fine." twilight said with no doubt in her voice.

"Yea but did you see the look on her face, Priceless." Rainbow Dash said. They all began to laugh, all except me. What Fluttershy had said was true she had never been that scared before. All she had to do is look directly at me and derrick and fast as lightning it seemed like all of her worst fears had came to life at that very moment. nobody else noticed it, but I knew she was scared of us for some reason i just need to figure out why.

Prologue

In life people say you live once and death will come to you. People also say that in death comes everlasting happiness and everything your heart desires. Well my name is Nelson Fareheart and life is not that way for me or my companion Derrick Johnson. Were in this story death does not come for the two of us. But without death we will and have found everlasting happiness and everything are heart desires. You might be saying that to stick together we must have been the best of friends, that no one could tear us apart. Truth is before all of this I was the one being picked on, the one that sits in the back of the class that everyone knows that no one understands. The kid thats picked on for just being different and the one who picked on me the most, well if you guessed a guy named Derrick you would be right my friend. So are story begins in a little town in Colorado at my school.

2’s A Party

(Derrick)

I received a mysterious email on my iphone today right after school (about 4:00pm), no name, no number just an address and words saying

(“I know you’ve been beaten, hated, and Unloved by your family, please meet me at the address provided and all your grief will disappear. Meet at 11:00 PM”)

I thought about wether to go or not but he seems to emphasize with me and know a lot about me. I just want to figure out how he knows so much about a part of my life that I share with no one.

7 Hours Later

I arrived at the destination and to my surprise it was are school. As I looked around no one was insight not a person to be seen just me and the darkness of the night. But then I happen to noticed a shady figure walking in to the school’s gymnasium.
Figuring that was the person I was looking for I ran towards the gymnasium and entered it. “HELLO!!!!” I yelled out as I heard my voice echo through the room. Their was no answer.

“I’M HERE BECAUSE OF THE EMAIL!!!!!!!!” I yelled out loud as the mysterious figure popped out of the shadows and started walking towards.

“So how do you know so much about........”

“For these souls that look so gloom, take them from here and let them bloom, to another place where friendship stays strong Take them to Equestria, When I sing this song

After these words were said I noticed that the world began to slow down in front of my eyes, my vision became hazy, and the room darkened. I fell to the floor and right before I blacked out a glooming green light surrounded me.
