To make a wish
Chapter One: The Arrival
Load Full StoryNext ChapterJust like any other day of the week, Corbin arrived home from an exhausting day at school. "What's for dinner, dad?" he said. "The same thing we always have; your choice of pasta" said his dad. "Ok, ill be right there" said Corbin. Corbin did not have a mother, but his dad always comforted and consoled him when he needed it.
Corbin gave his father a hug, and sat down to eat. "So dad, what did you do today?" Corbin said. "Well, I didn't really have the best business like other days, but I did make a little money" said his dad. Corbin's dad was an accountant, so he really did not have that much business due to the economy. They both ate in silence afterwards, Corbin with pasta and garlic, and his dad with pasta and tomato sauce.
After dinner and Corbin's routine chores, Corbin went to his room. As a lover of all card games, Corbin had bought decks of yugioh and Magic: The Gathering in the past and planned to exchange the cards he had in his decks. I really want to put this dark magician in my deck, but the summoning cost is a little high. he thought.
He couldn't decide whether to include the dark magician inside of his deck, so he just laid the card to the side. Man, I wish that there was a more entertaining thing that I could be doing. I guess I could look at my Magic deck. After a few minutes of sifting through his cards with no success, he turned on his computer and went to youtube to try to find something to do.
Hmm.. I remember my weirder friends telling me something about magic ponies with friendship or something. Out of curiosity, he searched: ponies. What video he then watched would change his life forever.

The first video he saw was of a well in front of a pine forest. It was in black-and white and seemed devoid of any emotion or action. It eerily reminded himself of his life in some twisted way, but that only made him more curious. The screen was flickering and scratchy in the video, and he saw some pink shape flicker on the edge inside of the well. What was a flickering turned into a colorful pink pony jumping out of the well and walking to the camera's point of view.
The pink pony exclaimed "Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie and I want to have fun with you!" Huh. I guess this is more interesting than playing with my decks. he thought. After about 5 seconds of him staring at the screen blankly, The pony started again. "Wow, you must have trouble responding to other ponies." This comment struck him by surprise, and out of the deepest depths of his mind, he thought Could this pony actually be talking to me?
The next thing that happened would take him by surprise and make him question life itself. The party pony said "Of course Im talking to you! Here, take my hooves." What does she mean by that and why can she talk to me? Were the only things on his mind at that very moment, before two pink front legs shot forward and impossible speed, surrounded him, and then dragged him into the screen.

All he could remember was coming out of a lake and feeling a little nauseous. What just happened? Oh man, I feel like I just ate 3 servings of pasta. Wait a minute, what is this place? he wondered. There were colorful butterflies and birds that sang like they were in a chorus. This better not have to do with that pony video...or whatever that was! he demanded mentally. "Hi! You must be new to Ponyville! I'll show you around" said pinkie.
Damn it! he said under his breath, while face palming out of pure frustration. Wait a minute. That face palm hurt a lot more than it used to...oh well. It must that the dimension I just crossed gave me a headache. Corbin was very knowledgable on quantum physics, and he decided that it was just some sort of impossible wormhole that happened to be on his computer and then somehow sucked him into a mysterious pony society.
Come to think of it, my voice sound a little different too. Oh well, better just find a way out of here. He tried to get up, but found that he was off balance and fell to the ground. That's weird, my front is a lot clumsier than I remember. So then he decided to support himself with his front legs to stand up.
He got up, and thought This seems surprisingly comfortable to do. Hm, I have some more grip that I remember. Wait. Why cant I grab anything? He looked down to his hands and discovered they had been replaced with hooves. Oh no! Due to my over analytical brain, I have to guess that my entire body is now a pony! Pinkie just looked at him for the all of time he was doing whatever he was doing.
"Ummm..Hi?"
