A Brony's Personal Journal
June 21, 2012
Does everyone ever like done this sort of way to explain anything that happened in your life in a non-educational way? I believed the answer to the question must be rarely. People who done this sort of thing ended up publishing it by them or someone else and somehow went to the big screens. Those people who wrote it were honored in many ways for bringing up events and stories that touched us from the bottom of our hearts. And what exactly am I talking about? I'm talking about journals. That's right, journals.
I can't really recalled much history about of journals. The only thing I knew about journals was that it's much like a diary, but people who wrote journals didn't acted like a girl who had a crush on a guy in such boring, childish ways. That's just plain dumb, though many girls in this generation don't write diaries anymore from my point of view. Also, the fact that journals were not only used for our personal lives, they were used for writing songs, drawings of our mind, school, mostly for English comprehension, and more. So pretty much journals were like a personal book to anyone for any reasoning.
And the reason for this writing? Well, it's because I was going to get bored over the summer and I wanted to do something. There were better choices like hanging out with friends, getting a job, and other typical teenager stuff. I was at first, but there'll be times that I'm doing nothing and I wanted to past the time. Of course, there were video games, but I don't have games nor a system. The internet sounded like fun, but I'll get bored on it after ten minutes, unless I'm on Youtube. Video games and the Internet were just a few things I could've do instead of writing this. I would list more, but I don't want to waste my time writing them out.
Without further do, I shall explain some basic details about me. I'm a high school graduate from the capital city of California. I enjoyed life much as I can while I'm alive. YOLO is the motto. God I love that song; yet, it's so damn annoying. I'm a musician and soon to be a music producer and own a music studio. It's my dream to do something in the music field. It may sound impossible, but like God, everything is possible.
Anyway, before I can continue discussing about me, there's one thing about me that I'm going to put down on this journal. I have a disability called Speech or Language Impairment (SLI). It's a disability when I speak or write something down, others will say it doesn't make any sense or it's wrong. I may not think about it, but they're right about it. I had this disability since I was in the first grade and that was about twelve years ago. So long huh?
It really sucks though. I tried my best to get out, but my mind was too lazy to do so. Like at first, I didn't mind riding the yellow bus from first to the sixth grade. After the start of seventh grade, I knew that people would know that I was one of them. You know the 'special kids'. I have felt shame til I was in the twelveth grade when I realized that I didn't care that I was in Special Ed anymore. I told my friends about it and they seemed to care, as in "you're still you and nothing else". I was appreciated that I had friends that didn't care I was in Special Ed. Either way, it was for the best.
Also, here's something that nobody in my family know about me. I watched a cartoon show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. People might thought of the show just for girls, but they may want to look up it's history before giving this show a chance. And how did I became so additive to this show? The answer: The internet.
It all began when I was surfing on Youtube, looking up random crap that came out of my head. Then, My Little Pony came up on my Senior mind. I've heard about the show from the past and it was based on toys that were made by the same company who made G.I. Joe, Transformer, Battleship. That's just the few of the many they made for their customers. The franchise, by the way, were awful and unwatchable to everyone, so I thought. So I typed in My Little Pony parody and found some videos. Some of them were made by the same person or group and had some million views. So, I watched a video called “Apple.mov” and I LAUGHED my ass off so bad. I kept on watching until I reached the profile's latest video. I thought if they made parodies out of the franchise, then I guess Hasbro brought back My Little Pony as well. Boy, I was right.
There were two things I had checked before I gave the show a try. First, I looked up the theme song and to be honest, the song sounded like shit to me, at the time. The theme song was too girly. Just girly, but hey it's a girls show after all. Second, I checked that the show was going. Unfortunately, it was. With no question asked because of the results, I gave the show a try. For the first episode of the series, it wasn't bad. So I watched the second episode and so on. I was so addicting to something that little girls think about when they play with their friends. For God sake, I just turned seventeen (at the time). The show was on its second season and I was eager to watch more and more. I didn't what I was going to become til one day at school.
At school, I told my friends about it while we were talking about shows or something. Luckily, they, too, watched the show. Even one of my friends read some fanfics in a website that I forgot it's name. It's that website with one of the people, who operated the site, had a picture of Latios from Pokemon. The name seemed so forgetful. Also, they told me that I became a brony. A brony!? What kind of person came up with the name!? However, I accepted the fan name with an hour or so. From there, I became a brony even though my family doesn't know about it.
That concludes this part of my journal. I would included more, but I might take forever and my hand would get cramped. Besides, it's night time here in my hometown. The city seemed nice in the dark, but there were hardly any stars out though. The only thing that was visible was the moon. The moon looked so nice tonight. And sometimes, I even wonder if there's life beyond this planet. If there was, I would introduce myself and never harm their kind. But let's face it; there's no other life outside of our galaxy. That would raise a lot of questions towards science and religion. Talk about corruption on both sides.
Well, I'm getting tired by the second. So good night world.
June 24, 2012
These past three days have been so weird and oddly appealing. The climate seemed bizzare while colors known to man flashed in the sky. It was like eating an apple, but the flavor of the fruit was orange. I don't if this was a hoax or something else. All I knew was that the weather and the sky was just freaky.
The weather went beyond the levels of weirdness. Like, first it was sunny, then clouds appeared out of nowhere and started to rain. It rained in a hot summer day. Shouldn't that caused a tornado, hail, or a thunderstorm? Unfortunately, it's a big fat no. It just rained in the city. Cross that out, it rained the entire state. And does the weather system gets any weirder than that? Yes, it did. It snowed in the Middle East, Europe rained and so did most of Asia. Africa and South America got hailed that were half the size of a pea. People said that the weather was on crack or something.
Not to mention, the colors of the sky. When there was sunlight in any part of the world, colors flashed in the sky. Going from it's original color to all the colors of the rainbow. Different parts of the world had different timing for the colors. It was usually from 2-5 hours of random colors. After that, 2-5 hours of the weather climate. It kept on repeating until the third day.
On the third day, the weather went back to normal, but the flashing colors stayed. Everybody stopped what they were doing and just watched the sky turned from one color to another. It kept on going until midnight, which it was about five minutes ago, it turned dark and pretty much the sky went back to normal. When it came back to normal, I derped about three times, literally. Boredom out of my mind after all the three days that past. And I'm glad that my family hadn't noticed or even heard my derps. Winning! Gosh, Charlie Sheen: you magnificent bastard.
Getting tired now. So, sleep tight.
July 1, 2012
Why did this happened to me all of the sudden? I witnessed things that I shouldn't saw with my own eyes. Not only that, I'm at Equestria. Equestria!? From My Little Pony. No fucking joke! Things went from weirdness to tragedy. How could this ever happened to me? Never once thought this would happened to me so fast. Why God? Why?
It all started when I was sitting on the bench on the front porch, watching my little brother riding his bike on the sidewalk. He was going back and forth from the corner to the other. Just watching him reminded me when I was his age and I rode my bike on the sidewalk. Man, I was like psycho on it. I'll be going fast and be ahead of my brother and sisters. Those were the glory days.
As I watched him go, I noticed that he went beyond from the corner. I got up and saw him doing a U-turn. And that's when things got too graphic. While my brother was doing a U-turn, a fast car rammed to him. I watched my little brother get hit by a car and I couldn't believe what I saw. I ran towards my brother and yelled for help. He was on the ground, unconscious and bleeding. What was worse that the driver of the car taken off right after it hit my brother. Within a few minutes, the ambulance came for him and send him to the hospital. Me and my family rushed to the hospital where my brother was taken and waited for response from the doctor.
One hour later, the doctor came out and brought some news. The doctor said that he suffered a really bad concussion and lost huge amount of blood. Also,he explained that his heart stopped and tried everything to bring him back, but it was too late. The news shocked my entire family. We all cried in despair and agony. I was crying the most out of my whole family. It was because I won't be able to teach him how to play the guitar, be wise about other people and other brother to brother stuff. My life won't be the same without him; however, that just the beginning of the horror I'll witness.
After the memorial service of my brother, my family and I sat on the couches quietly. None of us didn't even looked at each other at all. We all stared at the carpet like if were tall statues, looking down with an emotionless expression. It was about five minutes til we all went to our rooms and just stayed where we were for the rest of the day. What sucked about it was that I shared room with my little brother. Yes, I shared room with a brother who was buried underground. Like if you were playing a two player game, but you were playing it by yourself. Sucks huh?
As we stayed in our rooms, it started to rain very hard. I heard rain drops on the street that was once covered by the playful children of our neighbors. I looked outside and watched the pouring rain from the heavens above the city. The sky was grey as the crayon on the color box. Rain was the only noise that everyone heard in the house. Nobody wouldn't dare to make a sound in the silent house. Right?
Suddenly, the noise of the rain wasn't the only thing that I heard. Thunder roared the city like an invasion of an army from a different country. It roared every single second and it was loud. So loud that I couldn't hear the rain anymore. Then I saw lightning flashing on the wet street of my neighborhood. One flash to another. The flash would hurt my eyes, but I didn't care. The effect wasn't a big deal after I went through. And that's when things turned for the worse.
Apparently, my older sister was using the stove while a lightning struck our house. The vibration of the bolt shook the house very quickly, but within a minute, the oder of smoke filled in the house. As soon as smoke came to my room, I then looked away from the window and started to pack up whatever I can. I packed my clothes into my backpack that I used for school as the smoke began to get heavy in the room. I grabbed my journal and inserted to the backpack as I put my rosary into my pocket. Once I was done, I went to the kitchen and noticed that the stove was on. I tried to reach it, but the fresh air was getting thinner by the second and began to have a hard time breathing. So I immediately went outside to the rain and looked at my house.
The fire was coming from the roof and it was getting bigger. The rain prevented it from make it much larger, but by the looks of it, it was getting worse. Then I went back inside to saw if my family was coming and just when I was about to get inside the house exploded. The force of the explosion flew me to one of the cars parked on the drive way. I hit my head on something hard on that car and I blacked out.
Next thing that happened, I woke up and found out that my eye vision was blurry. It taken about ten seconds to get my vision clear. When it did, the pain from the back of my head occurred and it felt like hell. I rubbed my head several times until I noticed it wasn't raining anymore. I looked up and saw the clear sky, but it was dark. Then, I thought did the rain stopped or what? As I thought about it, I looked around and that's when I became startled.
I was sitting on the grass valley with a mountain scenery from the distance. There were trees on my right hand side and a town on my left. I questioned myself that I was dead. Am I in Heaven? That can't be possible. I would have to face my judgement before God could declare either I go to Heaven or Hell. So, where am I?
I got up and kept on looking around the area. Then, I looked at the mountains and noticed a building. It looked so familiar like I knew it from somewhere. I thought about it for the moment and then, it clicked. It was the palace of Cantorlot where Princess Celestia lived. If that's her palace, then I must be near Ponyville, meaning I was at Equestria.
Equestria. How was this possible? No, it can't. It can't be true. I'm not in a world where ponies, griffins, dragons, and other creatures roamed around free with law. This can't be happening to me. Of course, there were times that I wished that I could live in Equestria forever, but not after what happened to my family.
Then, the thought about my family made me burst into tears. I knelt down to the ground and cried liked I never cried before. I yelled out with all my might. I didn't care who was around. I should've risked my life to save theirs.
About two minutes of crying and yelling, I knew I had to find shelter. I looked at the small, sleeping town of Ponyville and without a given thought, I headed over there. As I walked, the buildings were much similar to a two story house, but with an older design. Some of them I can recognized from the show like the bakery where Pinkie Pie and the Cakes lived, the beauty salon where mares get their peda- I mean hoofacures, and even the schoolhouse. The one place that got my attention was the library tree where Twilight and Spike lived. I stared at for a few seconds and left. I should've asked for shelter, but I wouldn't dare to wake up the town and all that nonsense.
Five minutes later, I found an abandoned building that looked like that had been left alone. The windows were covered by the wood boards, but the building looked brand new. Though I never seen an abandoned building from the show, so I recalled. It's probably because Equestria has more details than the show had. Strange.
I went to the door and opened it. Luckily, it was unlocked. I peeked inside and I couldn't saw anything. It was complete darkness and I didn't knew where to go. So I reopened the door to let the light come in. All I saw was a candle on a table with some matches. I lit up the candle and couldn't believe what I saw. This building was a music store.
Instruments were everywhere from the walls to the floor. Books of learning how to play the instruments were on shelves. And most of all, it was cleaned. Everything in the room was cleaned like if someone had lived here. But why would they abandon this place?
I looked around and saw stairs. Curious as I was, I proceeded. When I got up, I scanned the second floor of this house or shop and found out that it had two rooms and a bathroom. The rooms had furniture, but questions kept on coming through my mind like light beams flashing in a firework show. I never knew who stayed here, but at least I don't have to complain about no beds and what so ever.
Then it came up. I was still wearing my backpack the whole time. Was I ever relieved? I taken off my backpack and looked through it like if I was a child who was opening Christmas presents. All my stuff that I packed were here in this bag. I checked my pockets and my rosary were the same results. Now, I have clothes to wear.
So that's it for now. I don't know how Ponville or Equestria will react that I not only an alien, but also there's a show of them. What's the chance of me becoming a friend? I don't know. It all lies between me and them until I find a way back to Earth.
July 2, 2012
I met the mane six today. They were afraid of me, especially Fluttershy, but in the end, they kind of liked me, so I thought. If it wasn't for Spike, I'll probably be kicked out of Ponyville.
I did my regular morning routine. Shower, dress, and ate whatever what was in the fridge. It was mostly eggs and clean water. Pretty tasty though.
After that, I went to the shop and turned on the lights. Good thing ponies had electricity in this occasion. I saw instruments like guitars, saxophones, pianos, and more. The one that caught my eyes were the drum set. Boy, I was happy. I quickly approached to it and started to play whatever beat came to my mind. I was unaware that somepony might come and discover me.
As I played, I heard a voice by the door which made me stop playing the drums. I got up as the door knob turned. I forget to locked the door when I came in here last night. My heart started to pound more fast as the door slowly opened. I couldn't show myself to whoever was by the door. So I hid myself behind a piano and waited til whoever was opening the door went away.
The door opened slowly and a voice that sounded familiar talked.
"Hello?" spoke the voice. "Is anypony in here?".
I couldn't believe what I just heard with my own ears. It was Spike, the one and only baby dragon, from My Little Pony. I was so excited and scared at the same time. I don't know if he would attack me, but then again, I'm bigger than him and I can easily kill him within a few seconds. So I just waited until something happened.
He made a few steps as he continued to speak.
"I'm sorry that I made you shy, but your skills on the drums is amazing. I've never heard anypony play so good."
Then somehow Spike went to a nearby piano and pressed a few keys.
"I'm good at piano and I was wondering we could play together, as if I don't see you."
Did Spike offered me to play with him? I thought in my mind.
"I understand that you're shy. I'll leave you alone then." The tone of his voice was down.
Spike started to walked towards the door as I turned around and saw the dragon once again. Then, I thought, should I released myself and play with him or not? If I do, would he react? I guess there's one way to find out.
"Wait." I finally spoke.
The footsteps stopped as took a deep breath and continued to speak.
"If I show myself, you promise to never react what you about to see?"
"Why would I react?" asked Spike.
"Because...I'm not a pony."
"Oh. You're a griffin?"
"No."
"Dragon?"
"Not even close."
"Then what are you?"
I sighed as I scratched in grief.
"Do you promise or not?" My tone of voice was serious.
Spike was quiet for about ten seconds until he replied to my question.
"I promise."
Since Spike replied my question, I began to rise from behind the piano. The dragon saw me risen up like if I was hiding from something. My heart began to beat fast as my palms were getting sweaty. By the time I was up, Spike looked startled when he saw me.
I moved where I was as Spike stood frozen like a statue. His eyes stared at mine as I stared at him. We both stared at each other like we were in a staring contest. None of us moved or blinked our eyes for about a mintue until I blinked.
"I'm a human." I spoke. "I'm not going to hurt you. Or eat you. I'm a friendly creature."
Two seconds later, Spike blinked his eyes and began to shake his body.
"A human? I never heard of a human before...So that makes you an alien."
"Correct."
"Huh. I thought aliens were supposed to be green and have weird ears."
"Not all aliens are like that. Besides, I thought dragons were supposed to be big and scary."
"I-hey. Not all dragons aren't that big and scary, according to me."
I chuckled as Spike began to tap his foot.
"How did you know what I am?"
"Your species is known in my world for myths, legends, and fairytales."
"Gee, that sucks."
"Consider this lucky. Dragons would be wiped out if they were real in my world, I think."
Spike gave it a thought and nodded.
"By the way, you like the way I was playing?"
Spike looked at me and smiled.
"Yeah. Like I never heard any songs have drum beats like that before. Sound's original."
For a cartoon character, the way he said it was like if he was a fan of my music. I was impressed how a cartoon character liked my drumming skills. I'm not much of a drummer, but I was hyped that something that never exist liked my skills. I can brag about it, but I'll waste my ink on my pen.
"It all comes from practicing."
"Cool. I'm Spike. What's yours?"
"I'm-"
I paused for the moment and thought about how names went in Equestria. The name system in Equestria had to be something based on their cutie mark or their individual selves. Using a regular name, in their term, would be strange and unfit, especially I didn't want to give out my actual name. So here's my Equestrian name.
"Nes."
"Nes. Sounds short, but I like it."
From that moment, I became friends with the dragon. I won't probably bring up any religion to him because if I do, Spike will definitely hate me. Good thing my dad isn't here at the moment or things would get pretty nasty.
"So do you just play the drums?" Spike asked.
"No. I also play the guitar, bass, and a little on the piano." I replied.
"Wow. You're a multi-instrumentlist. I wish I could play more instruments."
"You can actually with these instruction books."
I grabbed a instruction book of the guitar and showed it to him.
"Which reminds me, who used to live here?"
"Beats me. I never knew Ponyville had a music shop at all."
Then, I heard the door opened once again. Me and Spike saw who opened the door and it was a fimilar purple pony who always be one of my favorite ponies in My Little Pony. She came in with that worried look on her face.
"Spike. Why are you in here?" the pony asked.
Before Spike answered, she noticed that I was standing right next to him. Both of our eyes met like if it was love on first sight. The crazy thing about it was that we both kept on staring at each other for awhile. It kept on going until Spike raised his hand to make the staring stopped.
"Twilight, this is Nes." said Spike. "He's a human."
"Hi." I waved my hand shyly.
"Spike." said Twilight. "Can I talk to you in the other room?"
Spike and Twilight went to the other room, leaving me behind. Both of them began to discussed about turning me in. It was embarrassing because I heard everything. They were in the kitchen while I just kicking some dust on the floor. So weird huh? Come to think of it, it was weird that instead of reacting all dramatic, she just went to the other room without any thought of being scared.
While they were debating in the other room, I looked at the doorway and saw the other five Elements just staring at me. I didn't knew how long they were looking at me nor how they came. Must've been one of those picnic days.
"I guess you're with her." I said.
The ponies gasped as the debate was finished.
"What did you do to our friend!?" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.
"Twilight? She's in the kitchen with Spike."
"That ape looking alien is going to eat them!" yelled Pinkie Pie.
"Huh? No. There's no way I won't eat a dragon and a pony. I would rather eat a chicken and a pig than a pony and a dragon."
I really regret what I said because the next thing that happened made me felt like an asshole.
"You...eat meat." said Fluttershy before bursting to tears.
Pinkie Pie patted her as she gave me a mean look.
"You're a monster." said Pinkie Pie.
"What's going on?" asked Twilight as she entered the dilemma.
"This ape-looking alien made Fluttershy cry." said Rarity.
"He told us that he would rather eat a chicken and a pig than you two." said Rainbow Dash. "He's a meat eater."
Fluttershy was even more crying than before as I face palmed myself.
Oh God what I've done. I thought.
"Nes. Is this true?" asked Spike.
"You named him?" asked Rarity.
"No. That's his name."
"Yes. It is." I spoke with shame. "But I haven't any meat since I arrived to this world."
"And that was?" wondered Twilight.
"Last night."
"And you got here by some fancy machine?" asked Applejack.
"I..."
I paused for a second and thought about how exactly I got here. The memory of the horrible tragic event made a tear came out of my eye. The ponies and Spike noticed it and were confused. I didn't wanna cry in front of them, though I am in a girl show. It was just so unfortunate to tell.
"I uhh...got hit something really hard and next thing I knew, I was outside of Ponyville." I sniffed.
"So you just woke up from a knockout like that?" said Rainbow Dash. "Wonder if you'll go back the same way."
"Wait!" exclaimed Spike. "You can't hurt him."
Rainbow Dash looked at Spike if he just came in from the door.
"Why not?"
"Because if you do, we won't able learn anything about his kind. This would be a good opportunity to learn about him and his world. Besides, what was the last time that an alien came to Equestria?"
According to this question and the show's timeline, never.
"Well, never."
Told ya.
"Exactly. So don't hurt him."
Rainbow Dash groaned as she gave me a dirty look.
"Alright, I won't hurt him, but under one condition."
"What is it?" asked Twilight.
"As long as he's here, he can't do anything stupid."
I nodded in agreement.
To cut this whole discussion short, I made a few Pinkie Promises that I can't eat meat, can't leave Ponyville, and challenge Pinkie Pie to a cupcake eating contest. Also, Twilight will tell me about Equestria as I tell her about my world. Yeah. I'm now a vegetarian who is under town arrest-ish, a challenger, and a teacher/student. Above all, things could've been worse. Thanks Spike.
July 4, 2012
The past two days were busy, but harsh. Ponies in Ponyville noticed that I'm roaming around their town. At first they were afraid of me, but after I did the cupcake eating contest, by the way I lost, they began to look at me like if I got away with crime. Not to mention, Rainbow Dash had been spying on me. Great, the "lesbian" pony is spying on me. How ironic!?
On the plus side, I get to learn about Equestria. Mostly it just history like how before Princess Celestia, Discord caused Chaos all around the world; however, before Discord, many early ponies discovered many countries or empires that were hard to pronounced. I was really amazed how I was learning so much that I even hummed the theme song while Twilight was demonstrating how politics work.
Meanwhile I was learning, I explained Twilight about our world. I only gave her some important historical facts like the world wars, the early empires, and last but not least, inventions. I probably gave an hour and a half speech on that subject.
So now, I'm on the bed as I'm writing this down. The night looks good for a walk, but I'm too tired to even leave the room. I'll go get sleep, right after I tell Rainbow Dash to go home.
July 5, 2012
Today, I had a full detour of Ponyville with Twilight and Spike. We all went to places that I mostly knew or saw on the show like the apple farm, the market area, and some other places. The tour only lasted about an hour because of both them had to be in the library. Since I kinda knew the areas of Ponyville, I told Twilight that I be good on my own. She agreed and left with Spike to the library.
After they left, I went to the park and sat myself on the bench. I looked around and saw ponies were doing their own thing and made me wondering about my relatives back home. Were they okay? Did they heard about my family? And me? I don't know. I just don't know.
As I wondered about my family, Rainbow Dash came to me in a serious attitude.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked in a bully tone.
I looked at her for a second and looked away.
"Are you okay? You better not be sick. I don't know what kind of diseases you carry."
"I'm not sick." I spoke.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Really sure?"
"Yes."
"Really really sure."
"Yes I'm sure."
"Good. I'm just checking."
I sighed as she continued to asked me yes or no questions. It taken about ten minutes until Pinkie Pie came by and made Rainbow Dash stop asking me. She told me that Twilight wanted me to meet her in the library in an hour. I replied and Pinkie left like that. Strange, but I didn't really care.
I got there about an hour later and saw that Twilight was a bit worried. I asked what was wrong and she replied that the princess would be here tomorrow because of somepony told the officials about me. I didn't knew how to react at the moment. I was exciting that I get to meet Princess Celestia, but then, I was afraid that she'll send me away. Never thought that I'll write this, but I wish I can piss myself in excitement and fear.
"Well, maybe she'll like me." I said. "I'm not harming anyon-er anypony."
"I know, but I just can't believe she's coming tomorrow." worried Twilight. "She'll...she'll..."
"Don't worry. We'll know tomorrow. In the mean time, relax."
I gave a gentle smile to her as she looked at me. She smiled back and chuckled.
"I guess you're right. Who knows what'll happen tomorrow?"
July 7, 2012
Today wasn't good as I expected to be. Not only the princess came, today was my little brother's birthday. Me and the family were supposed to threw a big party for him, but life had other suggestions. The thought of my brother made me once again felt ungrateful. When the princess came to the library, I had to put on a fake smile the entire time. Nice going pal.
As for the arrival of the princess, the fake smile was turned on as Twilight explained who I was. The princess looked at me and I waved my fingers. At first, she seemed to be unsatisfied that I'm here, but then she began to get calm as Twilight told her that my world had some interesting things. I thought she noticed my fake smile and knew that I was hidding something. Thank God she didn't knew.
After three hours being here in Ponyville, she had to leave to Cantorlot. Before she left, the princess told me that she'll come back when she has time and talk to her alone. Her tone of her voice was a little serious, but calm. I nodded as she flew away to Cantorlot and sighed in relief. No more fake smiles.
End of Part One
Author's Note
I decided to edit this story. So not much change, but I believe it's better than before.
A Brony's Personal Journal
July 9, 2012
Two days since my brother's birthday and I haven't left the music store. I don't know why I wasn't outside. I'm not lazy or anything, but I just don't felt like it. The only thing I did was playing the guitar while I lay on the bed; letting life go by as I play whatever came up in my mind. I don’t know if the others noticed that I’m in here this whole time. What a world!?

Today, I taken the opportunity to visit Fluttershy after what happened a couple days back. I wanted to visit her sooner, but then, I didn't want her to be more afraid of me as she was before. So today would be a good day. Besides, who wouldn't want to visit Fluttershy?
As for the visit, things went a little off handed. I approached to the house and saw her feeding her animals. I chuckled as it reminded me when Fluttershy was feeding her animals and Angel slapped her in order to get the food he wanted. Made me laughed so hard that if I was Fluttershy, I would beat the living shit out of the bunny.
Anyway, I came close to her to say hi, but the animals pointed at me in horror. She turned around and within a second, she covered herself with her mane. The animals ran away as Fluttershy began to walk backwards.
"Wait! I want to talk to you." I spoke.
Fluttershy kept on going until she touched a near by tree, which made her squeaked. She dashed towards her house in a split of a second. I went up to the door and knocked.
"Please Fluttershy. I want just want to talk."
"Nobody's home." She spoke for the first time.
"Fluttershy."
No answer.
I stand by her doorway and thought about what would I say to the pony who is weak and insecure. I thought really carefully what I was about to say. Then, I spoke.
"Alright, don't open the door for me. I understand that you're afraid of me for what I am. But, you barely know who I am. No creature should be judge by their looks, but their actions. Like, since I got here, I've ate nothing but eggs and cupcakes. No meat since the past ten days. It's all because of I made a Pinkie Promise. Never again will ever eat meat in my life. So, if you're still afraid of me, that's fine. I'll leave. If otherwise, I'll make sure that you and your little friends won't be in harms way."
Then, the door slowly opened as the shy pony peaked out.
"You'll...do that...for me?" Fluttershy asked.
"Yes."
She stared at me for a moment and opened the door wide.
"Well... I don't know."
"I'll explain that humans help animals."
That's when she began to smile.
"Okay."
So the rest of the day, I explained to her about the animals and how some humans can be helpful for them. It didn't long before the sun went down. I said good bye to Fluttershy and headed home. And that's how the day went.

Applejack gave me an offer to help her in the apple farm. I taken the offer and didn't knew what she wanted me to do. When I got there within an hour, she told me to help Big Macintosh by getting the apples from the trees and placing them to the cart. It seemed harder than it looked from the show, but I wouldn't mind the hard work. What kinda threw me off was that Applejack wanted me to help out for the next couple of days. Working about eight hours a day in the hot sun and kicking the trees was too much for me to handle, but then, I get some free apples at the end of each day. Cool huh?
After today's work, Applejack said that she was thankful that I helped around the farm. As a token of my hard work in the farm, she sucked my wonderful area. She sucked it so hard that I smacked her face for my pleasure. Just kidding. What she actually did was she given me an apple pie that Granny Smith made. I looked at the old mare and she was calm to even stare at me. The rest of the apple family just gave more apple related treats. It was delicious after all.

Today, or perhaps moments ago, somepony decided to burn down the music store. That's right! Somepony tried to kill me. How was this possible!? The show never killed anyone on or off camera. If they did, it wouldn't be like this dark at all. Unbelievable!
I got myself out of the fire with my belongings and stared at the building, burning down to the ground. The flaming building reminded me my house. No, it was my life on that house. All the good memories from the place I called home, gone by the flames. Then, a tear rolled down to my cheek and to the ground. I squeezed my rosary just how much pain I had and will be never recovered in time.
After the entire building caught on fire, the firefighters came as I began to leave to find a place to sleep. I would've stay and answer questions about the fire. They'll think I caused it, but as tired as I was, I didn't had the energy to stay. I guess I have to sleep on the ground for the night. :(
July 17, 2012
After what happened last night, the whole town was blaming me for burning down the abandoned building. I told everyone that it wasn't me, but everypony didn't believe me. The only ponies that did believe me was the Mane Six and Spike. They tried to convinced them to believe, there was no hope.
So, the ponies of Ponyville said that I must leave and never return. Twilight wanted to me to stay, but the mayor of Ponyville told her that either he leaves or the six ponies goes with me. This town really hated me so much.
"You can't do that!?" exclaimed Twilight. "Ponyville is our home."
"I'm sorry, but it's either one or the other." said the mayor of Ponyville.
"This is insane!" yelled Pinkie Pie. "He made a Pinkie Promise!"
"Yeah." said Rainbow Dash. "Nes can't leave Ponyville and you know Pinkie Pie."
Some of the ponies looked away in shame. I knew in that moment I had to make a sacrifice. Either leave or let the Elements go. If I stayed, the Elements would leave and would cause Princess Celestia to come and take me instead of the Mane Six leaving. It was a lose-lose situation.
"No you guys." I spoke. "Don't risk your homes for me. I'll go."
The Mane Six looked at me.
"You can't leave Ponyville." Pinkie got all close to me. "You made a Pinkie Promise."
"I know, but you have to let this slide Pinkie."
She looked away and knew that this was the reason why the Pinkie Promise had to be broken. No pony wouldn't dare to break a Pinkie Promise. If they did, they would have reason why they did so. According to my prospective, I read fanfics that if anyone broke a Pinkie Promise, Pinkie Pie would get you back when you least expected. Hope she doesn't do it to me.
"But where would you go?" asked Rarity.
"I don't know where." I looked at the mountains. "But I'll be okay on my own."
So the Mane Six said their farewell and I started to walked away from Ponyville. I looked back and saw my new friends that I just made for the past weeks, looked sad like if their puppies died. For the first time in my life, I've never knew cartoon characters would be sad to watched me go and I kinda taken it personally. I cried just when I reached three miles down the road. Man, I needed to man up.
Well, the only positive thing that happened was that I found a railroad that led up to the mountains, which meant Cantorlot. Without even having a thought about it, I went on the track and it led me directly to the city. It taken me about six hours to get here and thank God that it was night time when I got here. The soldiers were asleep as I passed by them sneakily. I managed to get to the palace's garden without being spotted. Heh, I'm like Snake, except that I'm not here to kill anyone. I hope Princess Celestia won't mind if I crash into her place.
July 20, 2012
I was definitely wrong about Princess Celestia letting me staying at the palace. Like, I haven't even had the chance to met up with the princess. Thanks to the Royal Guards, I'm now a fugitive in Equestria. It all started on that fucking morning.
I woke up from the garden and found out that I was surrounded by the Royal Guards. At first, they seemed puzzled because they never saw a human before in the gardens. And when I got up, they froze in their place. I looked at each one of them as I grabbed my stuff. That's when things turn for the worse.
After I grabbed my stuff, one of the guards commanded me to put down my stuff. I responded and immediately went from puzzled to startled. They pulled up their spears and all of them were pointed at me. They commanded me again to put down my stuff. I didn't do as they told and they tried to arrest me. Despite there was many guards in the area, I made the dumbest, but yet the wisest decision by running from them. It taken an hour just to get them out of my tail. Boy, it was one hell of the run. And if that's not worse, well, things were just getting started.
I managed to get to the garden place where there was statues of ponies and of course, Discord. I looked at every statue there was and I was amazed. When I got to Discord, I stared at it for awhile. He looked the same ever since the Mane Six defeated him in the beginning of season 2. I couldn't imagined if I was Discord. I would lose my mind.
As I stared at him, the Royal Guards found me and started to chase after me. Again, I outrun them and hid myself in an alley in Cantorlot till night time. When I was hiding, I heard ponies talked about their lives and stuff. I'm not nosy or anything, but hey, I'm not the only one who's nosy towards ponies. However, when the night drew nearer, they started to talk about the disappearance of Discord. As curious as I was, I grabbed a flyer that was near the place where I hid and it had the information about it while no pony was looking. And here what it said.
"Two leg creature Wanted for Burglary of the statue of Discord, the God of Chaos. May have magical powers to bring him back. The Princess has been informed and will bring the Elements of Harmony to find the Two Leg creature. The creature carries a weird sattle bag and wears clothes. Last seen in Cantorlot and it may not be far from here, but it can be anywhere in Equestria. If you seen this creature, contact the Royal Guards or Twilight Sparkle. Reward for capturing the creature: 1,000,000 bits."
I had two complaints about this flyer. First off, did a foal wrote this or what? The grammar was off, but I understood what it meant. Second, the flyer had false information. I don't have magical powers nor have Discord with me. What's even worse was that the reward for capturing me was 1,000,000 bits. Are you fucking kidding me? Everypony would go after me. This was insane.
Despite of this insanity, I left Cantorlot that night and headed towards the train station. I secretly aboard the next train and hoped it'll take me somewhere out of civilization. Luckily, the train was headed towards Appleblossa. Good news that I've heard on that day.
I arrived at Appleblossa the next night and thankfully, no pony didn't noticed me when I was on the train. I hid myself by one of the rooms in the cabin and locked it so that no pony would come in. And when they knocked, I had to use a lady's voice to make them go away. Ponies here can easily be fooled by using a different voice.
While I was on the train, I had to figured out who was framing me for the disappearance of Discord. The only possible theory that made sense was that it's the same pony who burned down the music store. The pony must've been a unicorn. Was it Trixie? Twilight? Rarity? I don't know. The only thing I knew was that the unicorn was, is, and will follow me secretly until I no longer breath or somehow go back to my world. It bothered me throughout the train ride.
After I got out of the train, I ran quietly as I could so I won't get spotted. When I reached the town, no pony was out in that time. I sighed in relief that the town was asleep. Imagined if the town wasn't asleep. Boy, I'll be done.
Then, I spotted an alley that had barrels that were empty. Despite that the fact I was tired and hungry, I approached to the empty barrels and went inside. I grabbed the top part and covered the barrel I was on so that ponies won't look. Heh, this scenario reminded me of Chavo de Ocho (Chavo the Eighth), an old spanish show I used to watch. So many memories.
The next morning came and I was so hungry that I'll eat an entire apple pie. I had to find some food soon and quick. So I got up from the barrel and saw that there's Applejack's cousin's farm in the distance. As hungry as I was, I needed to get there immediately.
Just before I can even move where I was, somepony noticed me and yelled out that I was here. Within three seconds, I was running for my life. Everypony was chasing me around Appleblossa like a pack of cats were chasing down a mouse. They tried to take me down with ropes and other stuff that I can't name of for about ten minutes, that's when I crossed the rail road before a train came by. It made the ponies stopped and they saw me go to the desert.
After ten more minutes of running, I stopped and rest. All of this running made me hungry and thirsty. I looked around and saw nothing. Nothing but dirt and hills. I could've gone back to town, but I wouldn't wanna make them chase after me. Unless I go at night, but I forget where was Appleblossa. So there goes my opportunity to get back to civilization.
Three hours later, I saw a shadow that looked like a pony passing by me. I looked up and it was a gryphon . Without even knowing who it was, I yelled for help and what do you know, it stopped and came towards me. I looked closely as the gryphon was coming and I finally who it was. It was Gilda, Rainbow Dash's ex-friend.
She came down and stared at me.
"Uh. Am I seeing things?" wondered Gilda.
"Nope. You're not." I replied.
Just like that, she was surprised from my voice.
"Whoa! You could talk!?"
"Yeah."
"Cool. I never thought aliens were real."
"I'm a human by the way."
"Human? You look like a hairless ape."
"Heh. Nes is the name."
"Gilda and I'm a griffin, half lion, half eagle."
And so forth, we ended up talking about our worlds and such. She told me that she was on her way to Appleblossa to get some things for personal use. And I thought that she would knew about me, but I guess she must've been on of those ponies -er griffins who didn't care about the news. Funny how she was missing the opportunity to get one million bits. Good for her.
Then, I noticed she was carrying a bag of items. As thirsty as I was, I asked if she had any water. Luckily, she did. She gave me a container full of water and I drank nearly half of it. Man was I ever thirsty.
"So did you just come here from a ship?" she asked me.
"No. I...I got hit by something back at my world and next thing I knew, I woke up in Ponyville."
"Ponyville huh?"
"Yeah."
"Mmm..."
I looked at her and she was a bit sad. I was confused at first, then I realized that she missed Rainbow Dash. After 2 seasons since her appearance on the show, I guessed that Gilda wanted to return, but never had the courage to do so. If only there was a way to do so.
"But, you're out here in the desert?"
One story later.
"Dude. You've got find that pony who framed you. It isn't right for you to just to be out here."
"I know, but who will believe me?"
"I believe you."
I hugged her after she said it. It was awkward, but I don't really care. After the awkward hug, she offered me a ride to the train station back at Appleblossa. It was once in a life time opportunity and I accepted it. The ride was awesome because I saw the sun going down, the wind blew right at me, and I was riding on Gilda. The experience was awesome.
After we reached the train station, we said our good bye as I got on the back of the train. When I got on, I waved at her and she waved back. I felt like crying because it was the first time that I talked to anyone in these past few days. And it was Gilda. She must've changed shortly after she left Ponyville. Why can't ponies be more assertive like her? And I hope she reunites with Rainbow Dash after all this time she was gone. Good bye, friend.
July 22, 2012
I got off the train in Ponyville and noticed that everypony was going to Town's hall. And the reason why I was in Ponyville because of I wanted to see my friends again. Though I was banned by the ponies and the mayor of Ponyville, they're my friends and I wouldn't let anypony stopping me. Wait they're looking for me. Well, I don't really care about it. Would they turn me in or not?
The ponies were going to Town's Hall because of the Royal Family was there. The three princesses, Prince Blueblood, and Shining Armor were there for some special meeting that the ponies of Ponyville arranged for them. This was the perfect opportunity to tell them I was framed for a crime that I didn't commit at all. It was a good idea, so I thought.
I marched in there like a brave man and when I went in there, everypony was staring at me. Some gasped while others whispered as I walked down to the Royal family. Many things popped up in my mind. I wanted to say that I was being fraud, but just as I near Princess Celestia, the royal guards suddenly tackled me down. I yelled out the words I wanted to say as the guards tied me up and put me into a wagon. Once it was done, I saw the mane six coming out of the hall and came towards me. I put my hands out as the wagon began departed to Cantorlot. I was hoping that I'll touch Twilight for one last time, but the wagon started to fly, which it caused me put my hands back in.
After the ten minute trip to Cantorlot, the guards escorted me to the dungeon. For what I knew, there was no dungeon mentioned in the show. Matter of fact, I've never knew how the justice system worked her in Equestria. Probably, it was similar to the United States justice system. Then again, the justice where I came from was fucked up. So I guessed the Equestra justice system would be fair I believe.
I entered the dungeon and it seemed a bit more "cleaner" than I thought it would be. There were no chains, the floor was clean, the walls were painted white, and more things you would find in a prison cell. I never thought ponies would never get arrested. Weird, but the land is in peace.
The Royal Guards let me kept my stuff because it was clothes only. Also, they said that the princess and their captain will come tomorrow to negotiate the where abouts of Discord. I told them that I don't have him and they didn’t believe me. So they let me alone in this nice looking prision cell where I'm here in my thoughts.
Things are going like a roller coaster to me and I hope tomorrow won't be any difficult as it was.
End of Part Two
Author's Note
Same thing in the first part.
