Chapter 1: Beginnings

I was just hanging out alone at recess, as I sat down on a bench by the cafeteria, the wind felt cold on my back, I wasn't wearing my jacket since I left it in the classroom, as I opened my lunchbox, I started wandering off to my own, happy world, Ponyville.

Whenever I was feeling down, or just straight out bored, I wander off to my happy place, I always think about all the great adventures I'd have if I went there, I always thought there might be some mysterious way to enter Ponyville, and actually live among them, as one of them, because of this wild reasoning, I created my OC, short for Original Character, Hardwired, he's this small, green, stallion, he wears glasses, and he's pretty nerdy, kind of represents who I am.

I saw my lunch... "Ugh, PB&J sandwich..." I thought to myself as I saw the soggy sandwich, but suddenly my thoughts were interrupted by one of my classmates, James, I like to call him my own personal bully.

"Hey," He said, "What you got there, did your momma cut you out a little pony lunch?"

"S-S-Screw off James," I said, "D-D-Don't you have anything b-b-better to do with your t-t-time?"

Something you should probably know about me is that I was born with this stuttering problem, it's pretty annoying at times though.

"It's just ridiculous that you like a show about ponies!" He said with a devilish chuckle.

"A-A-Anything wrong with t-t-that?" I responded, flustered.

"It's a show for little girls!" He just started laughing, then he "accidentally" shoved my lunchbox off my legs, as my PB&J sandwich hit the concrete floor.

"T-T-The hell is w-w-wrong with you?!" I answer, quite mad, "T-T-That was the only thing I-I-I had for lunch, a-a-and you drop it on the f-f-floor" I stand up, ready to fight, but I know that I shouldn't since he's twice my size.

"You want to fight?" He said, "I'll be merciful, I'll let you hit me first, come on, you'll probably be a whiny bitch and run off."

I didn't hit him, knowing that I would probably get destroyed, but, he just starts laughing! "I knew you were a whiny bitch!" He said, "Want me to show you a real punch?" Readying up his punch.

"N-N-No!" I said, scared for my life.

"Good, now, get out of here, before I beat you up." He said, I hurriedly ran off to another bench as far away from him as possible.

In moments like this is where I start thinking about Ponyville. I make up my own imaginary world to not be lost in the dark cloud of depression.

I go back to class, still wondering about Ponyville, making up my own stories when I get interrupted by the teacher calling my name.

"Kyle?" The teacher said, waving a hand in front of me.

I lift my head to see the teachers mean stare looking straight into my sleepy eyes.

I try to look as awake as possible. "Y-Y-Yes, T-T-Teacher?"

"Kyle! This is the third time you've slept in class, we're both going to the principal's office, now!" She said in a serious and mad tone.

The principal's office never meant anything good, so I didn't want to go.

"D-D-Do I really h-h-have to go?" I said. "I-I-It's just I don't f-f-feel so well, and think that I-I-I should probably g-g-go to my house and get some r-r-rest."

"You are coming with me young man, and you won't run off like last time" She started pulling me by my ear, it felt like if someone was just pulling a piece of skin, what I'm trying to say is, it really hurt.

"OW! N-N-Not so h-h-hard!" I said, whining a little. All my other classmates around started giggling.

We start approaching the principal's office, I feel more nervous the closer I get.

After what seemed like hours, we finally arrived.

"So, Kyle Sanders, according to Mrs. Peterson, you've slept 3 times in her class, is this true?" The principal said.

"P-P-Please, d-d-don't call me by my full n-n-name..." I said in a quiet voice.

"I can call you whatever I want, young man, you still haven't answered my question, did you or did you not sleep in Mrs. Peterson class?" He said with a menacing tone.

"Y-Y-Yes, I-I-I did sleep in M-M-Mrs. Peterson's class." I said, not wanting this discussion to last any longer.

"I see... just send this note to your parents, and the next time you sleep in her class, you'll be suspended."

"Y-Y-Yes... Sir..." I said, lowering my head admitting defeat.

"Mrs. Peterson, you are free to leave with your student." He said.

"Thank you, sir." She said.

Let's fast-forward a few hours, I'm at my house, about to tell my parents about the note, I'm sweating because I'm so nervous, I know they'll not let me talk to my online friends for an entire 2 weeks, who have the same interests as me, ponies!

"U-U-Uh... M-M-Mom..?" I said anxiously.

"Yes, darling?" She said.

"F-F-First off, d-d-don't call me d-d-darling, I'm almost 15." I said, quite annoyed that after many times of telling her, she still called me darling.

"Sorry, why did you come here anyway?" She said.

"W-W-Well..." I said, embracing for impact. "I-I-I got another n-n-note from school a-a-about me s-s-sleeping."

"Kyle, we've talked about this, and you know what we said." She said, in a disappointed tone.

"Yes, mom." I said... I wanted to cry because I knew I wasn't going to be in contact with my only friends...

"You're grounded, 2 weeks with no electronics," She said. "You can go."

I went running to my bed to cry, I just wanted to curl up into a ball and disappear. I hid under the sheets of my bed and cried my sorrows out.

I fell asleep, thinking about all the not-so-wonderful things that happened that day.

But, suddenly, I get awoken by something, it feels like something is sucking me in, I grab onto my bed tightly, but that wasn't enough! I went through the portal, I thought, is this my end?

Then, I blacked out.

Chapter 2: Where the hell am I?

I suddenly wake up, I realize I’m in the middle of the forest, I start gazing at all the Oak and Pine trees I see, but then, I actually remembered what happened. “Where the hell am I?” I thought to myself while still staring at the trees that went on for miles!

I start raising my hand, only realizing it’s a green hoof, that’s white on the top part, I slowly start to realize what is going on.

“G-G-GET ME OUT, GET ME OUT, GET ME O-O-OUT!” I screamed while flailing around everywhere, my glasses fall off, and I’m not able to see anything, after a while of searching frantically on the grass, I manage to find them, but I can't seem to pick them up.

"Do I need to pick them up with my mouth?" I thought to myself disgusted, "Maybe if I am really careful and grab them with my hands, I mean hoofs, I can put them on." So I did that, I was getting frustrated that I couldn't pick them up, but after many failed attempts, I finally managed to put them on.

I thought to myself “I know I hate walking, but I should probably start walking if I want to find civilization. Aaaand I should get used to walking on all-fours.”

I start walking in a random direction, still trying to find out where am I, it felt uncomfortable walking on all fours, but I knew I had to get used to it, I thought to myself "Am I in the Everfree?" I kept walking in that direction, stomping on all the autumn leaves I found… nothing.

“Am I just walking in circles?” I thought to myself, confused and mad, suddenly, I heard some rustling leaves, I assumed it was a big bear coming to attack me, so I did the only sane thing, run!

And then, I fell into the river, I knew how to swim, but I didn’t know I fell because I was looking behind me, I started choking on the water I swallowed, and could barely stay afloat as the river pushed me away, but then, a black and white striped hoof pulled me out of the water.

I started choking, but I managed to finally catch my breath, but when I looked at her, I immediately knew who it was.

“Looks like I saved you in the nick of time,” She said, “Come inside, even though you are covered in slime.” Zecora chuckled when she said that last part, I followed her inside, not saying a word.

As soon as I went inside, I looked at myself, and yes, I was covered in moss and algae, when I looked at it I tried to clean it off.

“I’m guessing you are not from these parts, but a cute stallion like you will surely melt hearts.” She said, looking at me with a small grin on her face, I started blushing, no one had ever called me cute in a long time.

I just gazed at her, amazed to have found her, she just shoots me a little grin, and keeps working on a potion. As I looked around, I saw all the magical ingredients she used to make the potions, I wanted to ask her stuff about that, but I was afraid I’d say something wrong, so I stayed quiet.

Zecora noticed this, and told me “It’s ok, no need to be afraid, I’m here if you need any aid.” Her voice had a soothing tone, which calmed me down, all of a sudden, my tail started wagging of excitement, I wanted to stop wagging it, but it just wouldn’t stop, Zecora just giggled.

I said, still nervous, but excited at the same time. “Uh… Z-Z-Zecora?”

Zecora looked at me. “Yes?”

“W-W-Where is P-P-Ponyville..?” I said, I was excited to be in Zecora’s hut, but if I wanted answers, I would have had to go to Ponyville.

“Ah, Ponyville, I see,” She said, “There’s no time to dilly-dally then, just follow me.” Then, she started heading towards the door, I followed her, I didn’t notice the door was still closed, so I just face-planted into it. Zecora chuckled and whispered. “Clumsy.”

Once we started walking towards Ponyville, I spotted some things I didn’t notice before, I saw some deer, I saw some beautiful flowers, Zecora picked up some of them, I thought she would probably use them for potions, I picked up a pretty orange flower on the way, and then, Zecora told me: “Here’s the road to Ponyville, just follow it, until you see a windmill.”

“W-W-Wow, thanks Z-Z-Zecora!” I said, quite surprised at her knowledge.

“You’ll know when you get there, as for now, farewell!” She said, waving goodbye at me.

And then, I just started following the path...
