It was an average day Autumn’s day as he walked to Canterlot High-school, slightly lost as it was his first day since moving from the West-coast and he was not yet used to the colder temperatures and decided to foolishly wear a light blue hoodie with a black decal-led t-shirt and light stone gray jeans.

Web Surfer then came to a crosswalk and as he looked up in the sky he noticed a shooting star coming to the direction that he was walking in.

“Weird” He thought as a cold breeze ruffled his teal hair and gave his light silver skin goosebumps as his golden yellow eyes glistened in the mourning light.

At this point the crosswalk signal was beeping while Web Surfer was staring at the sight.

“Sorry, pardon me, sorry.” A girl said as she rushed through the crowd in a hurry and bumped into Web, breaking him of his trance.

“Oh sorry, are you okay?” Web Surfer asked as he turned around to see a girl on her butt rubbing her back.

The first think Web Surfer saw he helped the girl up was her dark purple hair that that she wore in a pony tail and also faded into regular purple and bright violet then back to dark purple. She was wearing an olive green hoodie with a stripped azure and blue shirt, a purple skirt with several violet colored stars on it and black glasses.

“Yea, sorry about that, thanks.” The girl replied as Web Surfer helped her pick up some papers and noticed that she had lavender skin and dark magenta eyes.

“No problem, and by any chance do you know where Canterlot High is?” Web Surfer asked.

“Yea, I’m heading there right now, I’m Twilight Sparkle.” The girl replied.

“Web Surfer, I just moved here from Portland, so I’m kinda lost.” Web Surfer replied with a sheepish smile.

“Oh, well in that case follow me and thanks for helping me pick up my papers.” Twilight responded. “It’s this way.”

“Thanks.” Web Surfer replied as he walked with Twilight.

“So what brought you to New York?” Twilight asked.

“Well my parents are in another country for a long term business trip and sent me to live with my Aunt and Uncle.” Web Surfer replied.

“Cool, where to?” Twilight asked.

“I think somewhere in India.” Web Surfer replied as the two neared the school.

“Oh, well the school’s right around the corner so see you around and thanks again for helping.” Twilight said with a wave as she walked to the school.

“Your welcome.” Web Surfer replied as he thought about the shooting star and walked under a tree as a spider came crawling down from a web and landed on Web Surfer as a the shooting star came close to the school.

Web surfer soon walked to his first class which ironically had Twilight in it and was told to sit wherever but Twilight patted an empty seat next to her in the front row.

“What are the odds?” Twilight giggled as Web Surfer went to set his backpack down.

“Yea-ow!” Web Surfer yipped in pain as he felt the spider bite his neck as a small streak of white light hit him at the same time.

“Web Surfer are you okay?” The teacher asked as Web Surfer slapped his neck.

“Yea, I think something just bit me.” Web Surfer replied.

“Oh, well if you feel like you need to go to the nurse's office then go ahead.” The teacher replied.

“Thanks, but I don’t think it’s that bad.” Web said as he rubbed the part of his neck that he was bitten on.

About twenty minutes into class Web Surfer started feeling dizzy as his hearing grew and started picking up sounds from across the campus, he then noticed that cooking class was baking some cookies as he saw the names of the authors on the books in the corner of the room and started sweating profusely.

“I-I need to go to the nur-” Web Surfer said as he shakily stood up and tried to walk to the door when he collapsed on the floor.

The teacher and Twilight immediately rushed him to the nurse’s office where the nurse had him lay on a bed and check his vitals. Meanwhile Web Surfer was in a dream like state he woke up in a dark and empty space with no end in sight.

“Huh, Twilight? Where am I?” Web Surfer asked but didn’t receive a reply.

As Web Surfer walked aimlessly in the nothingness he bumped into something hard and hairy. Thinking it was a person Web Surfer apologized as the darkness soon turned whit to reveal a large silver and yellow spider-like entity standing in front of him and staring at him.

“Hello there Web Surfer...” The spider bellowed in a low tone.

Seeing this spider-like entity caused Web Surfer to scream and try to back up but was stopped when the entity shot a web from it’s mouth that had landed behind Web Surfer.

“P-please don’t eat me...” Web Surfer replied as tears started flowing from his eyes.

“Eat you? Bahaha! I’m an insectivore!” The entity replied in laughter.

“O-okay, but what are you?” Web Surfer asked.

“I am a spider made entirely of magic, that shooting star you saw, was not what you thought. It was some stray magic that locked onto you, Web Surfer, you have been chosen to be a protector. But unfortunately I’m afraid out time is being cut short so let me give you some advice.” The spider replied.

In confusion Web Surfer just gave the being a confused look as the spider told him something and touched his chest, causing a white light to emerge from it. Mean while an hour had passed as Web Surfer laid on a patient bed as Twilight sat across from him worried.

Twilight whispered Web Surfer’s name and upon hearing it he shot up in the bed, gasping for air and sweating.

“Web Surfer!” Twilight shouted as she came to his aid.

“What, where am I?” Web Surfer asked as he looked around.

“Are you okay Web, do you remember anything?” Twilight asked.

“I think so, but all I remember was feeling dizzy and then pitch black and that’s when I saw something...” Web Surfer replied.

“Like what?” Twilight asked.

“I know how this is going to sound but I think I saw or at least dreamed of a giant magical talking spider.” Web responded now baffled.

“Like what did the spider say?” Twilight asked.

“Well...” Web Surfer proceeded to tell Twilight about what he had dreamed and everything the spider said.

“I think it was just a dream.” Twilight replied with a slight concerned smile as the nurse walked into the room.

“Hey Web Surfer, how are you feeling?” The nurse asked.

“Eh, a little out of breath but other then that I’m okay.” Web Surfer replied as she took his vitals.

“Well other then a slightly high temperature and pulse rate, I’d say you’re okay to be released.” The nurse said with a smile.

“Thanks.” Web Surfer replied as he started to stand up.

“You’re welcome just be careful.” The nurse responded with a smile as the bell rang.

The two students walked out of the office and down the hall.

“Twilight I’m sorry I caused you to miss class.” Web Surfer apologized.

“Eh don’t worry about it. It’s what friends do.” Twilight responded with a smile.

“Okay, well I gotta get to PE.” Web Surfer said as he waved and walked to the boy’s locker room.

“What a day...” Web Surfer thought as he changed into his gym clothes and then shut his locker door only to find that his hand was stuck.

“Oh crap!” Web Surfer said under his breath as he yanked on his hand but soon realized that it would simply not budge.

“You okay dude?” A classmate asked.

“Yea, I just think I need to...” Web Surfer replied as he brought his foot to the locker and finally got the hand to come off.

“Oh...well see you in the gym.” The classmate said as he walked away.

“What the hell is happening?” Web Surfer thought as he walked into the gym.

“All right class, today we’re going to do run a mile.” The gym teacher exclaimed causing a collective sigh from the students except for who who simply cheered in excitement.

The class walked outside to the track and lined up.

“Go!” The teacher shouted as just about everyone started running.

The girl who was excited was quickly taking the lead as Web Surfer was gaining on her and soon over took her.

“Huh?” The girl asked as she watched Web Surfer completed lap after lap.

The girl’s rainbow hair flown as her baby blue skin dripped sweat while her magenta eyes became focused as she struggled to keep up. After the mile the class was then sent back to the locker rooms to get changed for the next class.

“Dude, I can’t believe you overtook Rainbow Dash!” The student said.

“Who?” Web Surfer asked.

“Rainbow Dash, she’s the fastest student in the school and best at sports.” The student explained.

“Okay? Well I’ve never been that fast before...” Web Surfer replied.

“Well anyway see you later.” The student said as he left.

Web Surfer now was confused and scared as he walked out of the room looking at his hands.

“Dude, that was awesome!” Rainbow Dash shouted at Web Surfer.

“What was awesome?” Web Surfer asked.

“Obviously it was when you overtook me in PE!” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Oh uh thanks...” Web Surfer said.

“No problem, I’m Rainbow Dash.” Rainbow Dash added.

“I’m Web Surfer.” Web Surfer replied.

“Nice to meet ya, well see ya around.” Rainbow Dash said as she walked away.

Lunch soon came around as nothing else happened to Web Surfer until he decided to eat his lunch outside under a tree.

“H-hello...” A voice said from somewhere near Web Surfer.

“Huh uh hello? Where are you?” Web Surfer asked.

“D-down here...” The voice called as Web Surfer looked down to see a tiny spider waving a leg at him.

“Huh...I must be hearing things.” Web Surfer said as he looked up.

“I can assure you that I am not a hallucination.” The spider replied.

“What the fuck!” Web Surfer shouted as quickly stood up.

“Calm down mister, I just have a favor to ask of you.” The spider said.

“U-uh how may I be of assistance?” Web Surfer asked now just confused out.

“Can you put me on that branch?” The spider requested.

“S-sure.” Web Surfer said as he reached down his hand to let the spider climb on and let them on the branch.

“Well that was defiantly the weirdest experience...” Web Surfer thought to himself as he sat to continue eating while thinking about what that Spider said and how all of this is happening.
