When I was 15, technology was at it's best- I was playing around with a cool little feature on a texting app on my phone. This feature allows me to text with a random person for one day and allows me time to consider whether to add them to my contacts list to chat more.

It was relatively new, so I've never used it before. So one day, I decided to try it out.

I just got back from school on a Friday. I sighed as I put down my bag.

'(sigh) I wish my school life could be so much better than this hell...' I moaned.

After changing back to casual clothes, I grabbed my phone.

'I wonder... How does this new feature work?' I asked myself.

I activated it, and I was faced with an unexpected face- Princess Twilight Sparkle.

'Whoa, hold up!' My expression immediately changed. 'Am I dreaming!? This must be a fake!'

But she was no fake- She was the legit pony.

'(chuckles) Hi! This is just my first time trying out this feature, my friend recommended it,' Twilight said. 'I'm Twilight Sparkle, nice to meet you!'

I was speechless. I didn't know what to say.

'Are... Are you the real princess? The real Twilight?' I asked. 'Sorry, I just can't believe it!'

She smiled. 'You're not dreaming at all, all of this is real.'

I kinda squealed a bit and I nearly forgot to reply. It's just crazy! I mean, what kind of luck is this? Meeting your favorite cartoon character, on a texting app, on the first try?

'I'm Nathan Hon,' I said. 'It's such an honor that I met you! It's my first time trying out this too!'

I ended up talking with her for like an hour or so- I didn't plan on doing anything else anyway that day, so it was fine by me. We had pretty interesting similarities and we got along very well. I realized- This could be the chance I have been waiting for!

'Hey... Twilight?' I asked. This is a sentence I'll say many times over in the unforeseeable future.

'What is it?'

'You know, I don't have many friends. 'I said. 'Maybe... This is a start?'

I could imagine- Even though I couldn't see her, smiling as she saw that message.

'I'll have to ask my friend if she allows it...' Twilight replied. 'Wait a minute.'

I didn't realise at the time, but 'her friend' would ultimately be the one guiding my revenge. I just sat there, patiently for my new friend to return for a bit.

'Okay, done! She helped me save you in my contacts, so now we can chat whenever we want to!' Twilight said.

'Thanks,' I said. 'So... Wanna be friends, Twilight?'

She couldn't be any happier. 'Sure! I don't have many friends from the human world and I'll love to have someone to share things about planet Earth.'

I chuckled as she accepted my invitation.

'The saying goes, "Life is a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get." Who knows? Maybe... This would be the start of a... Wonderful friendship.'

'(Giggles) I would love that a lot, Nathan.' Twilight responded. 'Oh, I have to go now, my friend is finding me for something. I'll see you around soon?'

'Alright. I hope to hear from you again soon, see you!' I texted back.

After we both went offline, I just sat there- Feeling completely numb. Did I just spend an hour, texting, with a pony princess? I was shell-shocked, to the point I almost dropped my phone.

'Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh did I seriously just met princess Twilight on social media!?' I gasped. 'Someone get me out of this freaking dream!!'

I realised- It's not a dream. It was all real. I started running around the house, feeling crazy excited. I was over the moon! Not only did I finally have such a great friend, it's literally the princess of friendship! What more could I possibly ask for?

Then I had an even crazier idea.

'Waaaaaaaaaaait...' I said dramatically. 'Does this mean Equestria exists too!?!?'

At that moment, I literally could've passed out from how excited I was. Luckily, I didn't. But holy moly, it was not a joke! This was all real! My Little Pony, the magical show I know and love, was actually canon all along!

And I didn't know at the time... But that encounter, was love at first sight. I never knew until I got older, that Twilight Sparkle would be the sweetheart I will love forever.

Since that moment, my life has changed.

Well, not drastically, but definitely a change for the better. Now I have a friend who was always there to accompany me when I needed her. Usually when I'm resting before I go to bed, I would play video games for like an hour or so. But now, I would totally rather text with Twilight. It's now pretty much a daily basis, every night we could talk about something for a long time.

She was curious about me, considering I knew her before we met. So, I explained that I watched the show. I told her the wonders of our planet Earth and she knew so much about us humans. I loved chatting with her. She talked about her own land, Equestria. Twilight was a princess, but she can still find the quality time she needed to have fun with me. I feel so lucky to know that.

Once, there was a school field trip, and while everyone was just chilling, I had other plans. I took out my phone (It's allowed) and wanted to talk with my friend.

'Hey, Twilly. How are you doing?' I asked.

'What's on your mind?' She smiled as she saw I'm on. 'I thought you're on a field trip today?'

'Shhhhh,' I said. 'Don't make me get noticed. Anyway, just want to have a random chat with you, if you have time, of course.

'(Chuckles) I'm always up for a friendly chat,' Twilight replied.

We were chatting about something related to nature, considering my current situation. It was actually quite interesting, their land sounds so much better than my world.

Suddenly, while I was not noticing, Natalie and her friend came over.

'Hey Nathan, you seem to be rather alone, what you're doing?' Natalie asked.

I wanted to hide my phone so she doesn't see who I was talking with. But her friend already snatched the phone. Well, no choice but to tell the truth now.

'So uh... You girls know the show I always watch?'

Her friend nodded. 'Yeah, what about it?'

'Well...' I whispered to them the rest.

'Oh, really now?' Natalie smiled. 'You must be over the moon right now! I know you love that show!'

I nodded, smiling. 'I still can't believe it, even though it's been a month or two.'

And then those people came in. Uh oh, I'm gonna be in big trouble for sure, I don't even need the truth to be spoiled.

'(Groan) Come on girls, let's go away for a sec,' I said.

But those boys just chased me, beat me up, and stole my phone. As soon they saw it, they laughed their literal butts off.

'(Laughing) Oh my god, that is the most hilarious thing I've seen in my life!' Oscar was down on the ground laughing.

'This actually happened!? To this idiot!?' Elliot asked, grinning.

I was so furious. I knew Twilight was so much more than a friend to me. Yet, they see it as a joke? Really?

'(Hysterical laugh) Is this even real!?' Winston laughed the hardest. 'Oooooh, Nathan and Twilight, sitting on a tree-'

I punched him in the face before he could even finish it. I even kicked him in the groin hard. Resisting mercy, I grabbed his hair and threw him down and stomped on his body.

'Shut... Your stupid... Awful mouth!' I yelled.

I looked at the others, still laughing. I took back my phone from the bully's hand and walked away.

'You still there? What happened?' Twilight asked, worried.

I didn't even have the mood to talk with her.

'Sorry, I don't feel like talking now, Twi.'

'What? Wait! Don't leave yet!' She begged. I turned my phone off already.

I turned- But the laughter was still there. Those menacing... Cruel... Hurtful sounds... It never stopped, it only got worse...

People say that good and bad exist at the same time. Things never exceptionally favor one or the other.

Although getting to talk with the pony I know and love was a brilliant thing, this only made those people more aggressive than ever. Before this happened, I was always getting teased for my obsession of watching the show, and now not only that, I am getting shipped with Twilight!

I don't think they understand who she exactly is, and they don't even know if she exists. In this situation, it seems completely illogical to bully me for something you don't even know is real. Of course, that doesn't matter because their action against me is already a bad thing in the first place.

You know why I ended up here, sitting down and writing all of this in Equestria, the land where I belong? This is why. Sometimes humans don't see how terrible they are. All they care about is themselves. Hatred, cruelty, genocide, selfishness, and not to mention, they're soulless. These people who make fun of me... Do they really think they're right? Do they think I can't feel anything? Do they even have a tiny bit of thoughtfulness in their heart?

Ponyland is so much more different.

Everyone here gets along. I see it every day now. It used to be my little getaway paradise and it gradually turned into my wonderful home. I was always a merciful person. I want to live with those who are similar to me. I love their harmonious society. Friendship, trust and of course love. I wish humans can learn from our secret neighboring tribe.

But for now, they wouldn't change.

I was getting harmed more than ever before. The grasp of cruelty continued to grow on me. It's always repeating the words into my mind: 'You're worthless'... 'You're a pathetic loser'... 'Go back to your dreamland'... Ugh! I hate this!

And without even thinking, I wanted to do something that I never thought I had to do... To end my suffering...

One day, when no one was at home, I locked myself in my room. I took a deep breath and exhaled.

'So, they REALLY want me gone from their sight? Alright, fine!' I yelled.

With my powers, I spawned in a mystical food item. It had the power to poison anyone who consumes it, and I knew I had to do it.

'You made me do this, you cruel humans...'

I was crying. But I saw no other way out. I was so close to 'pressing the suicide button', I got a call. I put away the suicide item.

'What now?' I moaned.

I picked up the call- It was Twilight. This was the first time she actually called me on my phone.

'(Sigh) Hey, Twilight...' I said.

Yet, before she knew my story, she was beaming with joy for our chat.

'(Chuckles) Hey, Nathan! I decided to give you a call and see if we get along better!' She said. 'But... Why do you sound so... depressed?'

I went silent.

'Did you... Did you get bullied? Again?' She asked.

I still said nothing. Twilight was getting confused.

'Nathan... You don't have to hide your feelings from me,' She encouraged. 'I'm your best friend, remember?'

I sighed.

'Yes... I did...' I said sadly.

Seeing how I said it, she knew it was really bad.

'Who would make you feel so bad?' Twilight asked. 'You are one of the kindest humans I have ever met. Why would anyone do this to you? You are really sweet and caring, and yet people would bully you? You've told me how bad they were before... Why the hostility? I've never seen a friend feeling this bad about it...'

I wanted to cry.

'Oh, Nate... I could tell your heart is collapsing under their words... I wish I can just come and comfort you,' Twilight said. 'They think you're stupid, pathetic, weak... But what I see, and what I think of you, is that you are friendly, merciful and filled with kindness and love. You're a strong one, you just haven't seen in what way yet. Do you know why I'm doing this? It's because I care about you. You are such a good friend of mine. I'll be so, so sad if this continues any further... I know you would never take it by force. And I certainly agree to that. Don't be gloomy now, okay?'

I was shocked- Those words... Were enough to melt my heart. Considering what I just did... What was I thinking? My tears just flowed out like rivers and I started crying.

'(Crying) I'm sorry... I'm so, so sorry, Twilight...' I cried.

'What for?'

I told her what I was going to do. She was shocked to the bone.

'What!? Are you crazy, Nathan!?' Twilight shouted into the phone.

'(cries) I know... I'm such a brainless person...' I said.

'No! Don't say that!' She replied. 'You're not an idiot! I know you, Nathan. I know they harmed your thoughts. But don't cling to it for your whole life! No one is ever perfect. You're not either. But there's no reason for them to make fun of you about the same thing, right?'

I wiped my tears.

'That's right. I don't get why they're doing it anyway,' I sighed. 'And you want to know what's the biggest thing they tease me about?'

Twilight thought for a bit and sighed too. 'Is it... Me?'

'Correct,' I answered. 'I'm sorry to tell you that. I don't want you to be depressed, that's why I never told you.'

'It's okay, buddy. Once this thing goes viral across your world, they will eventually believe it.' Twilight said. 'Plus... You don't have to hold such a grudge about it. We're just really good friends, aren't we?'

'This is human nature, unfortunately,' I told her.

Then, Twilight had an idea.

'You know... I wish we could meet someday, Nate. I know both of us really want to see each other and we really love our best friend. And I want to introduce you to my other friends as well.'

I thought so too. Then, I thought, maybe that could work!

'Actually... Maybe I could,' I responded.

'Oh?'

'You remember that I told you I have magical powers, right? Maybe I could use them to get to Britannica from where I live, and I could come to Equestria!' I explained happily.

Twilight gasped. 'Really? Hold on, just let me ask my friend first...'

After a few minutes, she came back.

'She said it's fine. Oh, I can't wait to see you, Nathan!' Twilight exclaimed, jumping around.

'(Laughing) I know you're excited. So am I,' I said. 'But seriously, Twi...'

'What is it?'

I sighed. 'Sorry about everything I said. I was so... Angry and emotional. They literally harmed every bit of my heart. But since I started to talk with you, things have definitely changed. You have given me so much support in the midst of those bullies humiliating me and I'm so thankful for it.'

'It's my pleasure,' She said kindly. 'Why would I let anything bad happen to my best friend?'

'I know you wouldn't.' I said, starting to blush. 'Honestly... You were on my mind pretty much all the time. And yes, I did doze off thinking about you during class. (Laughing) I know, I know, I shouldn't. Every time I think about you and your friends, I wished with all my heart I could see you all. You all are my favorite little ponies. And you, Spark, are the most special.'

She started blushing too.

'(Laughing) Awww... That's so sweet of you!' Twilight squeaked. 'I love that nickname!'

I wished it can go longer- But I needed to go do something else.

'Oh, I need to run.' I said. 'I've spent enough time planning my suicide... And talking to my best friend, of course!'

Both of us laughed.

'Hey, how about the next time we chat on the phone, we have to show ourselves on the camera?' She asked. 'Just for me to see what you look like. I never knew and I'm curious.'

'Sure!' I replied. 'Alright, I have to go. As always, lots of love to you, Twilight. See you soon!'

'You too, Nate. Bye!' She said.

I couldn't wait any longer to see my best friend after that. Only a few months later, during the summer, I had a plan...

Author's Note

Before I go any further, I want to make it clear this is not a rewrite to my original story, the reason being that this is not a rewrite to technology is magic (The story this is referring to, at least half of the story), and the future chapters that will be posted soon are not rewrites to Rise of Equestria.

The story is comepltely done, this was the last chapter I wrote. I can confirm that the majority of this story's content was not included in the original episodes, meaning they are not rewritten.
