Where Do I Belong?

I should be someone else.

My name is Alec. I’ve always felt like I don’t belong in the world. I don’t feel like I’m actually living, like my whole life up till now has been a dream. My doctor told me it's just a side effect of my “hallucinations”. Oh, sorry. I should probably tell you what I’m talking about.

It all started about four months ago, when I first watched an episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Before I knew it, I’d watched the entire first season. That’s when they started. At first they were just little things; seeing Rarity out of the corner of my eye, hearing Rainbow Dash laugh, smelling Pinkie baking. Then the “blackouts” started. Everyone says they’re blackouts, but when they happen, I don't feel asleep. In fact, those were the only times I actually felt awake. I would always wake up in Equestria; not remembering how I got there, but that I was happy.

Now, back to the not feeling awake. Even though my doctor said it was just a side effect, I’ve always felt like this. He told me to just write down anything that happened, and since I don’t think I really need to, I’ve decided to turn this into a journal to show my life to anyone else who’s like me.

Today I saw something new. I saw Twilight, and she told me to follow her, and that there wasn’t much time left. I followed her, and she led me to something I can only describe as a portal to Equestria. She told me to go through, but I was to scared to go.

Twilight came again, this time with Apple Jack. Even though I came within inches of the portal that has since taken residence in my room, I still couldn’t bring myself to go.

Another pony came through to bring me to Equestria, but this time it was Rainbow Dash. She begged and pleaded me to go, telling me that all of Equestria was in danger. At that moment, I ran as fast as I could for the portal: I had to save Equestria.
