The Cursed Tale of Phantoka

The morning Sun, the smooth wind breeze, the chill air.

It was a soft sensible morning, the calm relaxing sounds

of birds chirping tunes of melodies filled the morning.

I awoke to the still morning sun of previous dawn feeling

a good sensation i had never felt before, the feeling like i

wasn't drowsy, my head felt fresh, it was a very warming feeling

that thought to have been The heavenly Celestia light grazing

on the fur of my grey coat. I smiled with satisfaction as i got

up eagerly from my bed full of butterfly sewn sheets. Yes I have

a very heavy crush on fluttershy, every time i see her and she

glances at me, i always blush with a warm smile and she smiles

admirably back, sometimes we talk at her hut. I guess you could

say she was like my therapy, but also the love of my life. I

get the feeling that my whole life can be switched around if im

with her. One day i will ask her if we could confess our

love for each other, I had a couple days off of work, and

that my bills would be covered completely with no cost.

I move downstairs to the kitchen to pour a bowl of honey oats,

as I move to the living room to go watch some Dr. Whooves. I

wonder what Derpy might do this time in the show. I pondered in

my head as i sat an just watched. A few minutes passed and as

I'm only in a few minutes into the show the power completely

goes out. "son of a bitch!" i vulgarly yelled as my vocal cords

grinned the sound of my voice. I set the bowl on the table and

moved out to look at the front door where i could go to the

power box, i flip the back up switches on and then went back

inside to call Ponecast to see what the hell the problem was.

Technical and minor issues they told me. I hung up right after

they told me the problem would be fixed later this afternoon.

Seeing as i had the few days off and I've been saving a few bits

for a special occasion. before i know it im already out the door

and on my way to a special store. i had over 13k worth of bits

in my saving for this one special day, and the best part is.....

this is where everything changes, I'm officially independent, no

more bus. As i approach the shop called "REvExStallion motors" to

purchase the one and only Xj375 Puma prefueled. The sports cycle

I've been saving for at least 5 years, and its still not only one

of the fastest but one of the most pristine good looking cycles

you could find here in Equestria.

"your'all set ma'am." The dealer colt said as all the payments

were met, they lead me to the design of my dreams. Then a door

appeared around a corner in the building, the colt looking

stallion turned sideways and opened the door introducing me to

the heavenly model of the pristine, shiny, aerodynamic prize

that will lead up to a new start of a better life. The Dealer

tosses the keys and the suit that goes with it to me, the suit was

black and with 2 color coats of pink, it looked like my colors

that i had on my mane and skin, the helmet had a odd but nice

look to it, the detail of led lights that shimmered neon green

as it had the face of a black puma like the bike itself. I

slowly but honorably strap on the suit  and put the helmet on.

I look back at the dealer to tell him thanks, in return he opens

the garage door as a sliver grey pristine puma walks out of its

den with an eager roar.

"time to take this fucker out for one hell of a test drive."

thinking about what i said I'm reminded of how most are

inexperienced to driving, i on the other hand, have lots of

experience, I've had a 2 years of practice on how to drive until

i knew exactly what to do when driving, ill be a bit rusty but i

remember mostly what to do, besides, its not as hard as you'd think

when you have 2 years of practice. I pull out into the street of

mid day and i had a a few hundred dollars left so i head toward

the paint shop to get this to have a color change. On my way their

i didn't notice any issues with the bike other than the fact its a

bit sensitive, but that's normal. As I'm driving, i pass by my work,

i notice that their indeed royal cop cars parked in the front.

"they must be checking it out" i thought sighing to shake off what

exactly happened.

I soon arrive at the paint shop, I pull in very slow and smoothly. The

feeling of doing so felt as if i was not moving at all, i only felt the

small moving breeze, it felt good. Getting off felt easy enough as i kick

down the stand and walked to to the door to go inside. i notice a mare behind

the counter, i soon take my order. I wait for a while, then i notice out the

window a worker took my puma inside the garage for paint customization.

Everything was done and paid for, one of the mares there gave me a ride home.

As soon as we got to my house i thanked her and waved goodbye, she told me

that my order would be due by tomorrow at the earliest since they had no

commissions before me. Soon afterward as im going through my front door and

step inside. closing the door i move to my bedroom.

I grab my I-Bot and go to Equestria Abino to talk to some people, when the community

loads up i go to my chats. That's when i notice something was missing. My public chat

was missing. I got to contact a friend of mine called Spoon Hai through a private

message, he told me that no pony really cared about me anymore when a few people still

cared for me deep down, i then later noticed that when he gave me the link to rejoin, i

was blocked by the owner, i cant communicate to the owner in any way. "if no one cares

about me then I'm not coming back, this is why I don't make much friends, society is shit."

i thought. Deep down i feel betrayed, sure I accidentally offended some one when i didn't mean

to. that was a wrong deed, but then i contacted the victim and she still wanted me to be

in the chat, yet some idiot told red, the owner of the chat. what a bunch of

miscommunication.

I lay there thinking on my bed, coming back isn't what i want, that's my choice.

Suddenly, i remembered something that i had when i was a kid. I move to my closet

door, i rummage through it. "ah here it is!" i spoke out loud. their it was, it was

my old wind up music box my father game to me as a gift from my mother. I sat in the

corner of my room and wind it up. As soon as i let go of the handle to wind it up

it plays this calm soft melody. I called it my mothers lullaby. i always use it when

feel broken inside. as it winds back to normal, i felt a tear drip down my eye. I

take it to my bed and ly down as i wind it up and try to wipe away the pain from the

good times i had in that chat. before passing out my last thoughts were. "Why did i

think they were better than this, than to kick me out when they were pretty much

what felt like the only family i had.

for a brief moment it was all black, I was consious, I pop open my eyes, it felt like

waking up in the future, like i fell asleep only to find myself waking up hours later.

I was still on my bed and it was dawn. I had slept for 10 hours. "That's never happened."

i thought to myself. a few moments after waking up, i heard something else make a noise,

then i felt it, i look down and realize as it hits me. I NEED FOOD I'M STARVING!!! getting

up out of my bed, my hooves touch the ground as my weight tried to support. i try to keep

my balance, but i didn't feel sturdy. I almost instantly collapse as I make face first to

the floor. "note to self, don't cry yourself to a deep sleep." I tilt my body to the side

so i can stretch all 4 hooves, then out came a usual yawn. now i could get up but i didn't

feel sturdy. fortunately after taking step after step, the blood was reaching my hooves as

it felt easier to maneuver my body. I go downstairs and make myself a food dish of apples.

as i sat down eating my breakfast i thought to myself that this would be the day i'd come

to her. after eating i put on a hoodie and bring my I-Bot and listen to some music while i

trot my way to her cottage, it was only half a mile from where i lived, it was still very

early so i do know for a fact she will be home. Just like 2 mornings ago when i was going

to work i felt that odd adrenaline kick in gear, next thing i Knew i was off the ground

dashing and soaring through the air, my altitude was escalating. with this id get to her

cottage in no time.

The wind, it felt good, it felt as if I wasn't even trying that hard at all. I could see

the ever-free forest in sight, i knew i was getting closer. a few minutes later i could

see the cottage in sight. I soon then had to try and slow myself down, that's when my

adrenaline began to fade. I calmly and slowly land on her front lawn. I then said to myself,

"what am i going to say? I mean if this where my life changes for the better then this is

definitely the place to continue, ill just be assertive about what i tell her. Relax Phantoka,

you can do this, just think how to say things the right way." I move up to the porch and give

the door a good bold knock. a few minutes later the door unlocks and opens. "Phan, what are

you doing here at this hour?" Fluttershy spoke. "oh--good morning Fluttershy, listen i really

need to talk to you about somethings if you don't mind. Can I come in?" i said with a confident

presence in my voice. "um sure that's okay, come on in and lets talk." Fluttershy said as she

gestured to move behind the door to give me room to walk in. I stepped inside and started my

direction to the couch. being a friend of her for a few years meant i was more than welcome

to her house. She soon shut the door behind me as i sat down on the couch.

She started the conversation by asking "would you care for some coffee?" I reply "thanks

but I'm good." i wait for Fluttershy's return. after about 30 seconds i notice a movement

from my left eye that caught my attention, i glance as i realize i get a clear view of her

flank without her noticing. I whisper "Yes!" as i lift and pull back my hoof like i just

scored a point on a sports team. She came back to the couch with 2 apples and 2 cups of herbal

scented coffee. "thank you Fluttershy, I've been meditating lately and herbal tea helps focus and

calm the mind." "Oh, No problem, i get the herbs home made right out of the garden." I smile

proudly and relax my muscles. My face then grows to look serious and important. "hey shy i wanted

to talk to you about something important that happened not long ago." she looked at me in wonder.

"and Its very bad news, so bad, you might want to try to refrain from gasping or freaking out." I

shut my eyes and tilt my head down and my frown turns to sadness. Closing my eyes and preparing

To hug her, I struggle to speak but manage to say it with a lump in my throat. "I-I wa-as almost raped."

My eyes shed tears like a quiet fountain of water as I wrap my hooves around her. I don't know how

long I was wrapped around her but it felt like hours."Hey it's alright." I hear a soft voice say to my ears.

Fluttershy wrapped her hooves around me  and pulled me close for a warm hug.

It was silent, very silent.... So silent in fact that it woke me up . I was laying on the couch. It wasn't just

any couch. It was my house. I recognize the pattern of the couch, was it only a dream? I lift my head

up and blink, trying to gain consciousness. Then I notice a yellow figure sitting on the chair next to me.

I take my last blink and rub my eyes. She was asleep, laying next to me. I just stood there, looking at

her not knowing what I should do. About a minute later, my hooves flip her on to my back. I stopped

for a moment hearing a tired gasp of what sounded like yawning. I turned my head and saw that she

was still softly asleep. I quietly trot my way up the stairs, making tiny pounces of my hooves and letting

the momentum carry my weight.

I turn my way to the door of my room and approach  my bedroom. I opened the door and trotted inside. I moved to the bed and gently sprawling her out on the bed. I was lucky enough that she was still asleep. I had grabbed a pen and paper to write her a note. It said, " I noticed you had brought me to my house, thank you for doing so. I noticed you feel asleep waiting for me to wake up, So I brought you my bed room so you can rest easy. Also, this may sound like a crappy way of asking, so I'll just tell you instead. Fluttershy, it's been been about 3 years since we've been friends and I was wondering...

Well you see, I love you and I want to go out with you. So I hope you feel the same way. Anyway, when you

wake up I'll be out out for a ride, so I'm leaving you a choice, you can go home, or you can stay and wait for

me to get back home. I left an apple for you on the table downstairs in the living room along with the T.V. remote

in case if you get bored. I'll be home in about an hour." I set down the pen and paper on my desk right next to the bed. I walk out of the room and head down the stairs grabbing my jacket as I quickly go to the pantry to grab an apple, setting it on the  living room table. Next thing I know I bolt out the door, but I slowly shut the door.

I gallop down the road and wait for a taxi or bus. "Come on...come on!" I whisper to myself. Ten minutes was how long it

took for a taxi to show up. I wave my hoof trying to get its attention. It notices and stops, parking itself near the side

walk. I hop in and pull my wallet out, giving him 10 bits as I tell him my destination. "Take me to the car workshop on

Highway 56, shortest route please." "Of course mad'am." The driver said. It was a quiet ride, but it took no less than

about 12 minutes. I opened the door as soon as I arrived and said "Thanks" before shutting the door and seeing him

take off.

I turn about face and notice one of the engineers was next to my new orange black painted puma. as soon as I got to him, he started talking about their bullshit policies, but I just pretended like I was listening.

I pretend as I signal that I'm getting my biker suit on and putting the helmet on, putting my jacket in the puma's cargo hold bag. Being in this thing never felt so awesome.

I get on and rev it up. I've never felt more awake  in my life. It was at this point that I was just ignoring the colt. It was then I just here him say "Have a nice day."

I just shake my head and  push the bike forward with my hooves. Theirs a place I'm gonna try this thing out. My destination, the Ponyville outskirts.

I take off with a very intense scratchy rev from the hind wheel, all of this took my mind off of the incident that happened a couple days ago.

Being out on the streets seems very noisy,I don't find it too comforting but I can tell that its only the feeling. Before I realize it I'm already at the border between the grass of the outskirts and the cobblestone road that I'm standing on.

Pausing for a minute I take a sharp breath, slow my breathing as my helmet is put into the cargo bag where their is barely any room for it to fit, but I make due with what space is left.

I look back forward pressing my whole body up against the metallic machinery of my puma, giving it a hard rev. I notice I'm making a lot of smoke so with a striking release I let go of the break and I just felt like I was about ready to fly.

But then something exciting occurred, as if everything was moving in slow motion.
