A Freshman's Tale
The Beginning
Previous ChapterNext ChapterLuna calmly gazed from her balcony at the moon in the night sky. She had been concerned for her sister, Celestia, because she had been very lonely lately. Even though she had her sister back, Celestia seemed to still be missing something. And just a couple of hours ago, she had confessed to Luna.......
~FLASHBACK~
Celestia ran into her sister's room, tears streaming down her cheeks. Her eyes were like they had been forced open while someone else opened fire with a water hose.
Luna was shocked. "Sister, what seems to be the matter?" she asked with concern. Celestia looked up at her sister. "It's time I tell you now." she said. "I have always wanted a son, pony or not. I have become so lonely, even with you, sister!" She just broke down after that.
"There, there" said Luna, putting a wing over her sister. "Just let it out."
~END OF FLASHBACK~
Luna sighed, the sad event just refused to leave her mind.
Suddenly a guard came through the door. "Your highness" he said, bowing, "Discord wants to see you." Luna grunted, as she said, "Bring him in."
The lord of chaos strutted on thin air into the room. "How is it going princess?" he asked. Luna looked up at him and sighed. She told him about everything Celestia had said earlier that day, and how Luna felt like she couldn't do anything.
Discord grinned. "How funny you say that, because I have just recently returned from the human world." he said. Luna gave him a confused look. "What do humans have to do with anything I just said?" Discord rolled his eyes. "I was getting to that. I have just witnessed the suffering of a young human, who has lost his family and everything he possessed, with the exception of his life and a set of clothes."
Luna gave him a smile of realization. "Are you saying that-!" Discord cut her off. "Yes. I'm implying that I can get him to this world, and then Celestia could possibly have a son."
Luna gave a look of glee. "So," she started, "how will you get him to this world, exactly?" She gave him a quizzical look.
Then Discord held up a glowing apple. It took Luna all she could muster not to break down laughing. "Yes, yes, I know it's ridiculous, but it just might work. All he has to do is eat it!" Then he disappeared in a flash and ping.
"I hope it works," Luna said, looking worried again. "For my poor sister's sake."
It was a brisk morning in Windsor, CO as a dirty yellow bus pulled up to Windsor High School, home of over 1,400 happy students. All except one.
The bus came to a screeching halt. The doors opened, releasing a horde of students from the depths of the bus. All of them were in a hurry, all except one. A skinny, brown haired, blue eyed, kind-of-short freshman got off the bus.
His name was Joey. Ever since life killed his parents, it hasn't treated him so well. Today, he would give life one more try before he would go to his very last resort. It would show he is done with life, and that he gives up. He had a rope hidden away in his room in the orphanage.
Yep. Suicide.
He was going to kill himself if things went terrible, as usual.
He decided if no one bothered him, he would go on with life. If he was, well, you know.
He slowly walked to the school courtyard. That proved to be a mistake. He saw out of the corner of his eye that Tate was making a beeline for him. Joey turned around and started speed-walking towards the front doors. Before he could make it, he felt a hand on his shoulder, spinning him around. Then he found himself face to face with Tate. That noose is just calling my name, Joey thought to himself.
"So....." He started. "Thought you can run away from ME, huh?" Joey was so frightened, he couldn't respond at all. He was shaking all over like a two year old on energy drinks.
"HEY! I asked you a QUESTION, scrub!" Tate barked.
Joey tried to get away, but Tate's grip got even tighter. "Don't even try, you worthless piece of shit-loaf." He growled. He slammed Joey's face into the brick wall. "Why have you not killed yourself yet? It surprises even me!" Tate laughed. Tate pulled Joey's face across the wall, creating a huge gash sprinkled with pebbles on his cheek. Blood trickled down the side of his face.
Then Joey decided he had enough. He kicked Tate in the crotch, fearing the worst. But Tate backed off, giving time for Joey to make a break for it. He had never run so fast in his entire life. He was done. Totally done. Tears streaming down his face, he ran into the school parking lot.
But Tate wasn't finished. In fact, he was thirsting for serious revenge. He bolted after Joey, screaming things like "TEAR YOU LIMB FROM LIMB AND SHOVE THEM ALL UP YOUR ASS!"
He could hear the heavy footsteps of his pursuer closely behind. That made him run even faster. He had never run so fast in his life. He knew where he would go. He just had to lose Tate first.
"Come BACK, YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING-!" Right before Tate could finish, Joey made a sudden move to the right, while Tate crashed right into the pole Joey had evaded. Joey cringed at the PING that rang out across the parking lot. Serves him right, he thought.
Joey still ran. He ran into a nearby forest and went in as far as possible. When he thought he was clear, he sat down. He felt like his chest would explode into a million shards, right then and there. Not like anyone would care.
Joey sat up. He was very hungry, since that fuck-boy of an orphanage director barely fed him at all that morning, and all he got for lunch was a bag of stale cashews. Which, by the way, was somehow stolen on the bus ride to his school. Kids theses days.
He pulled a bungee cord out of his backpack. "At least I came prepared," he thought. He started to climb up a tall tree, only to fall back down on his rump, scratching his knee in the process. "Just my luck" he muttered. "Doesn't matter anyway. My story is over."
Then Joey saw it.
On the ground, approximately two feet in front of him, he spotted a apple that was a glowing green. "Oh wow, that is the most ridiculous thing I have seen all day. Oh well. I should probably get a little more energy before I.........leave." He picked up the apple, for he was too hungry to care that it was glowing, and took a huge bite and chewed.
As he chewed, he muttered to himself, "I wish I could have a loving family again." When he swallowed, he felt a burning feeling in his stomach. "What the HECK?" he cried out. "What's happening?" He was getting frantic, sweat starting to bead on his forehead. His heart was pumping like a hawaiian drummer. Then all of a sudden, he disappeared in a bright flash.
