Prologue; how you started
"Come on Anon, please?" Pinkie asked for the fifth time today, she really wants to hear your origin story. She's been begging you at this point, much to your dismay.
'Jesus woman, can't you leave me the hell alone?' You thought in your head as you debated on whether or not you should tell her about how you started. "Ugh... Fine, but you better shut the fuck up about it when I finish Pinkie. And no distractions." You boldly said to the party mare, only to see her grab a tub of popcorn out of her tail. However she did shit like that was beyond you, but you didn't want to know. "It all started at an orphanage back in Manehattan 20 years ago."
_______20 years ago______
You were playing with your dog Doug while a mare with Magenta fur, a dark brown mane and tail with a style that was wavy, and wearing black glasses was talking to a one-eyed Stallion who was Red, with an unkempt mane and tail. "... Are you sure ThunderBreaker? He could die out there, and Celestia forbid him from ever going back to that cursed forest." The mare said to the one-eyed stallion, concerned about your safety.
"If you don't do it GrooveHit, then I will. And it won't be pretty, we've been at war with these humans longer than a foal can walk. So I know more about it's dangerous heritage than you do. Now what's it gonna be? Ditch that thing, or lose it to me and my squad?" ThunderBreaker said to the mare with no more than anger, while glancing at you with fire in his eyes.
"There must be another way, he hasn't shown any signs of aggression. And he gets along with Moondancer, and Thunderlane." GrooveHit said as she looked over at you, watching you play with your dog Doug.
"Fine... I will give you 5 months to make him disappear, but when those months are up. I will hunt him down with my squad, and end his existence once and for all. It's to dangerous to let it live after what it's race did to Cloverfield." ThunderBreaker said to his former friend as he was about to fly off into the sunset, before looking back at GrooveHit and you. "This is the last time I'll warn you, stay out of my way when me and my squad find him." And with that, he took off to fly south. Never to be seen for a while.
Groove hit was conflicted on what to do. On one hand, she loved to see you and little Doug play during recess. But on the other, she wanted to protect you by any means necessary. But she decided to move you far away from where ThunderBreaker and his former-guard squad of Mercenaries could find you. 'It has to be Ponyville, nopony there would even try to hurt him. And they might just accept him, there's no other option.' She thought in her own head before turning over to you and walking over to you and Doug. "Anon, may I please speak to you?" She called calmly, while also giving you her motherly grin.
You put little Doug down onto the ground while looking up at GrooveHit with a confused expression, and Doug did the same as he sat down beside you while wagging his tail. "Yes miss hit? Am I in trouble? It wasn't me who put whipped cream in your hot chocolate this time."
"No no, nothing like that. I actually wanted to tell you that congratulations are in order, there's a couple in Ponyville who are looking to adopt a non-pony child." Groovehit lied with calmness as she gave you and Doug light pats on both your heads.
"Really? Where's Ponyville?" You asked in confusion. You never heard of Ponyville, but you kinda of wanted to know more about it since this is the third day somepony mentioned it.
"On the far north, past Appaloosa. You and Doug will live your happiest lives there. So do be a good lad, and pack your things. I'll grab my purse, along with a few other things." She said before walking to the kitchen, leaving you and Doug alone.
"Did you hear that Doug?! We're going to this Ponyville place, and get a mommy and daddy!" You said with excitement towards little Doug, only for him to bark with just as much excitement. "Stay right here boy, I'm gonna get our things." You said before dashing up the stairs, towards your room. You've shared it with Doug since he wandered into the orphanage garden a year ago, and he's been at your side ever since you fed him your lunch of brussel sprouts. Just as you opened the door to step inside, a filly's voice spoke up behind you.
"Anon? What are you doing up so early?" It was a yellow unicorn with blue eyes, and cyan color in her mane and tale, which were usually bobbed.
"Oh hey Lickety, me and Doug are gonna get adopted. So I'm gonna pack our things so we can go to this 'Ponyville' place." You explain with honesty, barely containing your excitement.
"Ponyville? That's amazing! Want me to help?" Lickety asked with genuine curiosity,hoping to involve herself in any way she could.
"I'm just packing my stuff, and meeting up with Doug and miss Hit downstairs." You said to Lickety, before walking inside your room. And grabbing a red suitcase that was filled with your clothes, snacks, hygiene supplies, & a leash for Doug.
"Hold on, I got something for Doug." Lickety said as she levitates a red collar into your small hands, which had a chrome tag with 'Doug' written on the front side.
You look at the collar for a few seconds before looking back at Lickety, and you gave her the biggest grin your face would allow. "Thank you so much Lickety, Doug's gonna love it!"
"No sweat Anon, I know you and Doug have an unbreakable bond. So I decided to buy this collar, I hope you both like it." She said, returning an equally big grin of her own.
