Press Start
Wake Up
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI was asleep again, or was I asleep the whole time? Either way, I definitely wasn't where I was before. When I got out of bed (which was scratchier than normal) I fell down, feeling joints where there were none before, and not feeling some that were. The most noticeable of these new feelings were on my back. I look back to see cream colored fur, as well as a set of wings.
This immediately made me panic, since I know I didn't have wings before. I then remember that screen, and sighed heavily, realizing what was going on. I was already in the game world.
As I calmed down, I felt some information filling my head, and while felt uncomfortable, it didn't hurt like some would describe it. It gave me a load of information that filled me in on my current situation.
I am Go-Go, A pegasus that lives in Manehattan, a city similar to New York City, if it was just the island. It's located in Equestria, a country populated largely by ponies, of which there were unicorns, pegasai, and earth ponies.
I deadpanned as I realized that the situation I was in was in was nothing like I was thinking of. Not only were ponies the main species here, but unicorns could wield magic!
Although, that doesn't mean I made a bad choice, because pegasai can fly fast, much faster than a bird would. With the Wonder Bolts (according to my memories) being comparable to the Blue Angels.
After sorting through the collection of memories, I looked around my room. It looked like the room of someone who had never interacted with anyone in their life. It had no personality or flair, and all of the floor, walls, and furniture were all in a default light brown color.
Speaking of colors, I then got a look at myself in the mirror. I noticed I had cream colored fur, it was a dark kind of cream color, I don't really know how to describe it. I then noticed my medium length mane and tail, both of which were a light brown color, and had a light wave that made them part to my left. I also had an average looking frame, and barely taller than average, at least according to my memories.
Overall, I look like the prettiest average joe out there.
I was going to continue to look at myself, but I was interrupted by a voice.
"Go-Go! Honey, It's time for you to get ready for school!" that would be the voice of my new father, Winter Bolt. He's a single father who takes care of me and my new, slightly younger sister, Ash.
"I'm getting ready!" I respond back, which goes unanswered.
I walk out into the hallway of the apartment we live in. The apartment has three bedrooms and one bathroom, all of which are on one hallway that leads to the living room and kitchen. The bedrooms are all in the same hallway, with mine and Ash's being on the left with my dad's on the right. At the end of the hall is the bathroom, where I make my way.
I then proceed to brush my teeth and get ready when I notice Ash coming in. She apparently takes after our mother Ebony Breeze, which resulted in her having an ebony colored man with a dark gray fur tone. She yawns as she gets up onto her hind legs to reach the counter.
"Mornin'." She says. She's also pretty young, only being seven years old. This means she still has some growing to do. I hand her her toothpaste as she gets her toothbrush.
"Good Morning." I say, before rinsing my mouth and make my way to the kitchen.
"Hey there kid. How'd you sleep?" Dad asked (I'll call him that due to the fact that I'm going to be living here, and I should get used to it).
"I slept pretty well, had a strange dream though." I responded, before mentally slapping myself. Now he's gonna want to know what it was about.
"Oh really? Care to tell me?" C'mon think of something.
"I don't really remember it very well, all I know is that it was strange." I said, nailed it.
"Well, it doesn't seem like we have much time for it anyways. You should be heading to school. You don't have as much time, since you got up so late. Wouldn't want to be late on your first day of high school right?" He said, before we both looked at the clock. Shit, he's right, schools in an hour.
"To be early is to on time I guess. Bye!" I say as I put on what I can only assume is this worlds version of a backpack, and walk out the door.
I'll enjoy this relative quiet while I can, since this whole gamer thing will surely stir things up later.
Author's Note
MY HANDS HAVE CHEMICAL BURNS AND MY HEAD IS KILLING ME LETS GO!!!!
In all seriousness, I know that this was an exposition heavy chapter, but I had to explain everything now or you would have to pull all the details together yourselves, and that's no good.
This is essentially the opening of the game, and I'm taking time to introduce the game world, so forgive me for not starting with gamer stuff.
Last thing to mention, I was originally going to have the main character 'grow up', but that turned out really boring and took to long, so I scraped it and am starting with a teenager.
Have a nice day, and see ya in the next chapter.
