A bitter Sweet occurenceby WiltedBloom2013ChaptersLog 3, day 1 with Sweetie BelleLog 5, Sweetie nearly burns the kitchen...Log 8, Unexpected transmission.Log 9, day 7 with Sweetie Belle's problemsLog 4, day 2 where Sweetie learns about technologyLog 3, day 1 with Sweetie BelleDear Diary, The strangest thing happened today. And yes I know that this is my 3rd entry and yes I know the social norms of females having diaries while men have journals… but have I ever complied with social norms? Anyways, I'm getting off-topic. The day started rather normal, wake up, make breakfast(including my coffee which, as my mother would say, "Would you like some coffee with that cream?"), head to work, waste 8 hours of my day, head home and play video games. Though, maybe ignore the last one because after I got home and entered my bedroom I immediately realized something wasn't right. I checked my entire house, basically turned it upside-down trying to see what was giving me issues… and… nothing. That was until I heard slight, and I mean slight, whimpering, which was coming from under my stack of clothes in the closet… So what if I'm not the neated person on the entire planet? Then I saw her, and you might be wondering who "she" is. She is Sweetie Belle, a little unicorn filly from My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic… NOTE:remember to avoid any media of Sweetie Bot from Friendship is Witchcraft She was scared but when she saw I found her… she just started crying, maybe even full on bawling… I'll never forget what I said in those last few moments, "Don't worry little one… it'll all be over soon…" maybe I was saying that more to myself than to Sweetie Belle but I knew she needed all kinds of encouragement… she must be missing Rarity, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo, not sure if she is friends with Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon yet… will also need to avoid saying any names that, at least to Sweetie Belle's knowledge, I have no clear reason to know… I am foreign to her, after all. Wait, I just realized I never considered if the show auto translated the cast, it would make sense given the amount of times early on where they say Everyone instead of everypony, there are many questions to ask Sweetie Belle when she calms down. EDIT:Brief description of what happened after Sweetie Belle calmed down… mainly I had dinner with her, left the burgers in the fridge just because of my unusual guest… guess I need to reword entry one where I had said I hated salad. It isn't that bad, I could tell Sweetie Belle enjoyed it too. Then I suggested a game of 20 questions and OMC(will use instead of omg for now, at least until Sweetie gets home or comfortable) did she have some good ones… the immediate ones were just generally about my hobbies like, "if you could describe a hobby in one word, what word would that be?" Then the next ones were ones about my reading habits, most of them will left vague as I mainly read Fanfics but am not afraid to read the more… "adult" stuff. After that they all blurred. From me, I asked questions that I already knew most of the answers to, but did so to avoid arousing suspicion from Sweetie Belle when I mention her friends… and yes Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon are her friends at the current point in time. And when it was over I then did Sweetie Belle a favor and told her my name… "My name is Brendan Campbell," were my exact words, I knew it was proper to introduce myself before "asking" for Sweetie Belle's name… Sweetie Belle has been told she didn't have to call me by my full name, and something like, "Brendan" or "Bren", even, works… Yet she still called me the full Brendan Campbell… is it unlady-like to shorten a given name? NOTE-TO-SELF:Ask Sweetie Belle about that without being clear about it… that'll help. Well… See you my little Diary.(why do I keep putting Dairy instead of Diary?) Author's Note Partly inspired by the story Closet Pony. Log 5, Sweetie nearly burns the kitchen...Dear Diary, ... you know what... fuck the intro, fuck the outro today.(I do not like using the f-bomb) Sweetie Belle, first, figured out how to turn on my computer and managed to lucky guess my password, then, second, proceeded to try cooking eggs... now my kitchen is ruined... I also, very literally, told her yesterday to AVOID cooking... luckily it isn't un savageable... just tough to do so. I realized she was trying to cook when she ran to me trying to set up Parental Controls and lock the TV to just the pure cartoon channels then proceeded to ask if I like eggs with cheese or not... safe to say I was fucking pissed at her. But I can't stay mad at her, she explained everything. First, she explained to horrendous kitchen idea... saying she felt it would have been nice for the TWO DAYS I've helped try to get her back to Equestria. Second, the computer, as she worded it, "was never went under in detail so I tried to learn it myself." Safe to say I made a new profile and showed her how it works... she's been on it since, reading big stories. I have to start working on dinner at some point. Sweetie also knows about this, kinda... see, turns out last night I didn't check to see if Sweetie was asleep before writing in it and she slowly put two and two together. That lead to a very akward silence. Then a squeal from Sweetie Belle about how many social norms it was breaking... guess Equestria has similar social norms to humanity. EDIT:Sweetie Belle, as her name and fan consentus says, really is sweet... She, first, actually sorted my fridge... even my mother was scared of that idea... then, asked if I've sewn before, probly because of my patches on my pants and shirt, to which I replied "yeah, just ain't good with making clothes, you know?" And Sweetie Belle nodded in response. Makes me wonder if her nearly burning down my kitchen was worth it in the end because God be damned if I'm letting a single person hurt one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, especially Sweetie Belle. I helped her learn how to search stuff up on the internet(with safe search on, just to avoid the more... unsavoury... part of the internet. Thankfully she didn't search her own name... for now... Hey what can I say except "curiousity killed the cat" and I've been dead inside for 19 years(my father passed away, rip) so safe to say it didn't hurt when I searched my name in google... but Sweetie Belle is special... this world knows her, and if she looked up her own name then things would be awful for all of us but all one can do is Hope. Goodbye my little Diary. Author's Note Third chapter. Word of warning, nothing will be over 2000 words, so it's more a short-form writing approach and I have little to no experience Hope you enjoy want's to come anyways. Log 8, Unexpected transmission.Dear Diary, I DID IT!!! I ACTUALLY MANAGED TO MAKE INTERDIMENSIONAL CONTACTING!!! Sorry, I am just so excited, and Sweetie Belle is the same way. Especially because we got to contact the PRINCESSES, who in turn could allow us to talk to Apple Bloom and Scootaloo, always a wonder. I just hope that after that we can get Sweetie Belle home... I also can't really talk to them again unless I want to cause more city wide power outages, meaning talking to them is a last resort. I am worried, if Sweetie Belle goes home then I'll be alone, but what are the chances that the air is toxic there, at least... what if it's toxic, to me...? I never considered to ask the air compound formula for Equestria, but if Sweetie Belle is doing fine here then there are one or two possible solutions. 1:The air is exactly the same or 2:some elements in Equestria's air supply are unnecessary for Equestria life. No time to ponder that. The following is a color-coded copy and paste of mine & Sweetie's interview with Celestia, Luna, and Twilight Sparkle. Celestia Luna Twilight Sparkle Sweetie Belle Black text is me So, Princesses... Sweetie Belle has told me a lot. I just want to see if she is correct and ask if Celestia and Luna really control the sun and moon. Sweetie Belle is correct, I do control the sun in a sense, and Luna does control the moon Our sister is right, as is Sweetie Belle. Does your world not have something similar? No, "my world" as you call it doesn't. We orbit our sun and our moon orbits us. That brings me to my next question. If Sweetie Belle stays for too long, are there expected side effects? Well, in all the research I've done, it should be a problem for a year. But expected side effects are as followed: Loss of magic, weakness, mental scaring, and if we take much too long... death. But again, the start of Sweetie's loss of magic shouldn't be for a year, at the minimum. That's good news Brendan! Alright, this next question is one Sweetie Belle actually brought to my attention... how are Apple Bloom and Scootaloo? She- Brendan... I wanted to ask that... My bad Sweetie Belle. Don't worry my little pony, both of them are alright. They are worried about you- As we all are! Yes, we are. But back to the point, they are worried about you Sweetie Belle, but haven't told us how you got there. Thinking back I don't think you ever told me how you got here. ... Next question... You aren't getting away that easily! Next. Question. Sweetie Belle. You will tell us how you got here. What'll happen if I don't? You know just as well as I do, what I'll do if you don't... Sweetie Belle, we aren't mad, we just want to know Yes, we just want answers Alright fine. Scootaloo, Apple Bloom, and I were searching for things to do and we were visiting Twilight at her castle. I remember that As we were exploring the castle, we found Twilight's lab, completely on accident, mind you. Sounds about right When we were looking around the lab, the three of us found a device with a crystal in it. Don't tell me... You know of such a device Twilight Sparkle? Yeah, it was something that I was tasked with researching... Now I know where that crystal went. Sweetie Belle, wasn't there a crystal where you were? Let me finish. I was looking at it and started walked towards it with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo as we planned to enter it together... but then I tripped of something and fell into the device and woke up under that bed... no sign of any crystal, no sign of Apple Bloom, and no sign of Scootaloo. I should be angry at you for attempting to mess with technology you didn't know anything about and thus having the possibility of messing up, possibly ruining your life beyond repair... I'm sorry, I'm sorry But I'm not, you were curious and, while I'm not happy, you did what you thought would cure your curiosity... Wait... you aren't mad... I don't understand... Yes, I'm not mad... that being said... what you did was still incredibly stupid and you were putting your friends at risk... I don't even know what would've happened if you three crossed at once, at best you three would've been unscathed, at worse you three might've been fused together with no way to go back to normal... but that trip was a blessing in disguise if you look at it. Again, we aren't mad Sweetie Belle. After Twilight said that, my power went up. We all got to talk for roughly 2 hours. I got the generator running for now, I have my phone nearby to tell me when the power is returned. I just couldn't believe it... I got to talk to all three Princesses in Equestria. Of course it is approaching 7 and I haven't started dinner. EDIT:I've decided to add this section earlier than usual... I got a letter from Twilight bucking Sparkle. It reads as follows. Dear Brendan, I am personally writing to you to see if sending letters between the two of us will work... but I fear that it is a one way path as you explained prior to the "interview," your world, Earth if I remember, doesn't have magic yet it had a way to contact us, I fear for what other tactics Earth has if that is done without the use of any magic. Yet, I hope all "humans" like you are as nice as you too. I do fear for Sweetie Belle however... She isn't known for being the safest, but she has been known to keep the Crusade ideas controlled but doesn't stop them from getting into dangerous situations... I just hope you can keep her major issues under control in some major way. Signed, Princess Twilight Sparkle Next time I get the chance to talk to Twilight I will remember to tell her about all the times I have to fix my kitchen while Sweetie is here. Goodbye my little Diary. Author's Note Longest Chapter yet, took a while of work and, yes, I made this chapter with exposition in mind. Logs 6 and 7 aren't included because nothing interesting would have happened and weren't really needed for the story I was telling. Though, with how most of the chapter is written as a color-coded log with each color corresponding to a different character, I wouldn't be surprised if I get asked to take this chapter down for breaking "No chatlogs" rule lmao. And yes, from here on out, Twilight will send one letter a day to Brendan in order to give us a perspective on how Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are doing. Oh yeah. Twilight's listed side effects... those certainly won't come in handy Also the device is meant to be similar to the one mentioned in Closet Pony, except for the fact that only that specific crystal type makes it work, meaning don't expect Apple Bloom and Scootaloo to arrive with some broken speech format Also, despite everything... Rarity is forgotten Don't worry, I may make a spin to see Rarity's side of everything... just depends on if I can make Rarity without Sweetie Belle interesting enough. Log 9, day 7 with Sweetie Belle's problemsDear Diary, I have learned that Sweetie Belle somehow figured out the Parental Controls password as I went into the living room and saw she was on a channel that I clearly locked... safe to say she ain't happy. Apparently, someone was murdered last night during the blackout and the news decided to cover it today since all news channels were off the air by the time the power got back on. Oh well, Sweetie Belle immediately saw me and rushed to my bedroom... and locked the door, don't even know how as my door doesn't have a lock... she most likely used a chair against the door, by I'm afraid to ask her. As you can guess by me actually writing in my diary that she did stop eventually... mainly once she got hungry. She did ask if all humans were like the one that... you know, murdered... to which I replied, "Oh course not Sweetie Belle. I would have killed you already if we were all like that... also that is assuming humanity would've made it to this point anyways," which did seem to calm her down... if only enough to where she gave me a slight smile... I, also, managed to find a NES in my attic... I might need to set it up just so Sweetie Belle has something to do. I have a large variety NES games that I should get down, especially Kirby's Adventure, yes I know Nightmare in Dreamland is better but nothing ever truly beats the original. Plus... I did read all of A Sweetie Dreamland(MLP fan story) and hope that Sweetie has a basic understanding of video games... but knowing that there is a character called "Button Mash," I can assume she has, at least, a basic understanding of video games. I had happened to start on removing the Parental Controls as well so that Sweetie Belle can indulge in nearly every form of media. Not planning on having all channels unblocked, however, I still have the adult channels blocked and left a note that she is not to watch those channels, even if I'm there! EDIT:Before I share Twilight's letter to me for today, I have some things to say about what happened after dinner. I, first, got the old NES set up and showed Sweetie how to use it... safe to say she enjoyed in, I watched her play and (fail) to beat level 1 of Kirby's Adventure, before she went onto the computer, with her profile, and started typing something, which I was certainly ecstatic about, though tomorrow I have work... I might need to be worried. Dear Brendan, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo have asked for a chance to ask you questions if it is okay for you to contact us, I have figured out a way for you to reply, but it isn't fast, when I get the message it should be around 3:15 in the afternoon for you. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are greatly worried for their friend, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, all element bearers like me, will be here too, Rarity might try to ask questions as well. I only have two more questions I want to ask, and hope you have a way to make the second round of interviewing longer than the first. Signed, Princess Twilight Sparkle p.s. Write what you want to say on the back of this sheet to reply. With the knowledge I know have I wrote a quick reply, Dear Twilight Sparkle, that sounds like a wonderful offer, I'll certainly agree, tell Rarity that I will answer MOST questions she has. Signed, Brendan Campbell. Well, goodbye my little Diary Author's Note Yes, at the end of every log past 8, we will have a Twilight letter, but the actual log is want I will focus on for story purposes Log 4, day 2 where Sweetie learns about technologyDear diary, Sweetie Belle asked me to explain a few of the things(mainly the "black flat rectangles" that were in most living areas[including the living room lmfao]). And being who I am, who am I to deny a child learning about the world around them. I explained several things and also said that Sweetie Belle should avoid cooking… I don't want to explain to hardware stores why I'm buying kitchen repair supplies when I am actually a very good cook. Am I glad today is Saturday or what? Maybe I should work on my chaotic elements of evil story while Sweetie Belle is busy. Nah, she needs me more than ever… she started crying because thought about the other Crusaders… it sucks that she might not even be a top priority for them… though if Rarity is as many fans make her out to be, we wouldn't need to worry… Also Sweetie Belle decided to drop the whole "calling by my full name thing" but called me "Brendan"... no complaints here. She wants to go home but I can't help… I don't have any semblance of magic… unlike her. She has magic, I'm only human. This reminds me quite a bit about a story I once read, and I hope that some of the events there happen here… I would hate for Sweetie to be trapped with me with no one else to be there when I was at work… man… I'm getting sappy to a diary… How bucking stupid… EDIT:Forgot to write this last night, but Sweetie Belle somehow activated my TV and found the cartoon channel… next step… parental controls… that is going to suck… Well I'll write again soon my little Diary. Author's Note I enjoy Sweetie Belle and all, but sometimes a quest for knowledge might lead down a dark road.

I did read all of A Sweetie Dreamland(MLP fan story) and hope that Sweetie has a basic understanding of video games... but knowing that there is a character called "Button Mash," I can assume she has, at least, a basic understanding of video games. I had happened to start on removing the Parental Controls as well so that Sweetie Belle can indulge in nearly every form of media. Not planning on having all channels unblocked, however, I still have the adult channels blocked and left a note that she is not to watch those channels, even if I'm there! EDIT:Before I share Twilight's letter to me for today, I have some things to say about what happened after dinner. I, first, got the old NES set up and showed Sweetie how to use it... safe to say she enjoyed in, I watched her play and (fail) to beat level 1 of Kirby's Adventure, before she went onto the computer, with her profile, and started typing something, which I was certainly ecstatic about, though tomorrow I have work... I might need to be worried. Dear Brendan, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo have asked for a chance to ask you questions if it is okay for you to contact us, I have figured out a way for you to reply, but it isn't fast, when I get the message it should be around 3:15 in the afternoon for you. Scootaloo and Apple Bloom are greatly worried for their friend, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, all element bearers like me, will be here too, Rarity might try to ask questions as well. I only have two more questions I want to ask, and hope you have a way to make the second round of interviewing longer than the first. Signed, Princess Twilight Sparkle p.s. Write what you want to say on the back of this sheet to reply. With the knowledge I know have I wrote a quick reply, Dear Twilight Sparkle, that sounds like a wonderful offer, I'll certainly agree, tell Rarity that I will answer MOST questions she has. Signed, Brendan Campbell. Well, goodbye my little Diary Author's Note Yes, at the end of every log past 8, we will have a Twilight letter, but the actual log is want I will focus on for story purposes
Log 4, day 2 where Sweetie learns about technologyDear diary, Sweetie Belle asked me to explain a few of the things(mainly the "black flat rectangles" that were in most living areas[including the living room lmfao]). And being who I am, who am I to deny a child learning about the world around them. I explained several things and also said that Sweetie Belle should avoid cooking… I don't want to explain to hardware stores why I'm buying kitchen repair supplies when I am actually a very good cook. Am I glad today is Saturday or what? Maybe I should work on my chaotic elements of evil story while Sweetie Belle is busy. Nah, she needs me more than ever… she started crying because thought about the other Crusaders… it sucks that she might not even be a top priority for them… though if Rarity is as many fans make her out to be, we wouldn't need to worry… Also Sweetie Belle decided to drop the whole "calling by my full name thing" but called me "Brendan"... no complaints here. She wants to go home but I can't help… I don't have any semblance of magic… unlike her. She has magic, I'm only human. This reminds me quite a bit about a story I once read, and I hope that some of the events there happen here… I would hate for Sweetie to be trapped with me with no one else to be there when I was at work… man… I'm getting sappy to a diary… How bucking stupid… EDIT:Forgot to write this last night, but Sweetie Belle somehow activated my TV and found the cartoon channel… next step… parental controls… that is going to suck… Well I'll write again soon my little Diary. Author's Note I enjoy Sweetie Belle and all, but sometimes a quest for knowledge might lead down a dark road.
