Prelude: Winning the Trip to Equestria

It was something that I never expected. I went to a pony convention with a fair amount of money. I had planned to purchase multiple plushies, especially ones of Starlight, Trixie and Twilight since they are my favorites. When I got there I noticed that there was a raffle for an actual trip to Equestria. Naturally I thought it was a bunch of bullshit but then later on I discovered it was legit. I discovered that one could actually go to Equestria because people had won it in the past and the ones that decided to return said it was fantastic. There was one thing about it though, it takes you to an anthro version of Equestria so you'll fit in better.

I decided to limit myself to just one plushie so I could wind up buying several hundred of the raffle tickets. I wanted so badly to go to Equestria and meet Twilight and the gang, Starlight Glimmer in particular since she was my waifu and had been since season five. Yeah I spent way more than I should have but if I was to win a trip to Equestria, I'd go. Chances are though that if it truly was as great as those who returned from there claimed, I likely wouldn't return.

Well in the end I wound up buying even more raffle tickets, leaving just enough money that I could afford lodging and food. The rest of the money was spent on raffle tickets. When Sunday arrived and the convention was winding down, they brought out this mirror and announced that the time had come to announce the winner of the raffle. I was nervous, very nervous. I had spent a very large sum of money on this and if I didn't win, I would feel like I wasted a ton of money on this.

Well when they announced the winner, one of my numbers was called! When that happened I began hooping, hollering and pumping my fist towards the ceiling. Everyone around me was jealous as hell but who wouldn't be jealous of someone who had just won a trip to where we all wanted to go. Outside of getting to go to the land I had wanted to go to for so long I was also happy that buying all those raffle tickets paid off. Life truly was sweet at that moment.

Once it fully sank in that I had won the trip to Equestria, I headed up to the stage and smiled for the cameras as they activated the mirror. They told me that I would be coming out of the mirror from Equestria Girls in Twilight's chambers. I just hoped that I wouldn't arrive there at night and scare her. Chances are though she knew that someone would be coming through the mirror. After one final smile and a fist pump, I stepped into the mirror realizing that I was mere minutes away from meeting the mare I loved the most, Starlight Glimmer.
