Prelude: Another Saturday Evening

Hi, my name is Storm Lewis and I am a construction worker in Omaha. During construction season it was always hot and humid, it was the type of weather that required all of us to keep cold water with us if we did not wish to get dehydrated or even worse, suffer heat stroke. Today was particularly bad as temperatures were warmer than normal and the humidity was high, very high. After the day was over though, I headed home to the comforts of air conditioning, more than a simple bottle of water and food to refuel after working such a long day.

It was Saturday evening and I absolutely loved those. I loved those because the following day, Sunday, was the one day that all of us construction workers got off. There were multiple things I did on Saturday evenings when I got home. The first thing I always did was take a cold shower to not only wash all the sweat out but to also just to cool off. I then usually cooked myself a rather large supper and then I always dug through my My Little Pony DVDs and watched a few episodes. This Saturday was no different.

There were multiple episodes that I decided to choose, all of them were ones where Roseluck, my favorite background pony, had at least a speaking role and gave her famous yell, "The horror, oh the horror!" I have always found that cute and while I would never admit this to anyone, rather appealing. I don't know exactly why I like her so much, it might just be her cute yell but I do like her overall design, her mane and tail designs and those green eyes are always so captivating. They are always what draws me in, it is like they were designed to pull people in.

That night when I finally headed to bed, things were somewhat different. Normally I had an easy time clearing my mind but this time around, Roseluck was stuck in my mind. That may be because every single episode I watched had her in it but still, it wasn't the norm. When I closed my eyes, all I saw was her gazing at me with those green eyes, drawing me in. I tried my hardest to simply clear my mind entirely but it wasn't happening.

Thoughts I had never had before began to creep in, I began to actually wish I could go to Equestria and meet Roseluck, and maybe be in a relationship with her. I had always heard other fans talk about how they wish they could go to Equestria and be with their favorite, some called them their waifu, and I always thought they were very immature. Now here I was wishing I could go and at least meet Roseluck. I felt kind of silly having those thoughts but as long as nopony, I mean no one ever learned of them, I'd be fine.

Finally after an hour of laying there, attempting to get to sleep, I was finally able to do so. My last thoughts before falling asleep were that hopefully I could get a full night's sleep and not have any weird, freaky dreams that no one should ever be having.
