A study in Humanity

Life had never been simple, but who would have imagined it could get any stranger? You were just sitting around in your shabby apartment minding your own business like usual. When you remembered today was Saturday, so you flicked on the TV and decided you'd watch MLP, you've always loved that show. You enjoyed the quirkiness of the episodes and the colorful ponies. You could relate to them in a lot of ways. Sometimes you'd wish that Equestria was real, you always thought that other people were rude and evil and corrupted inside, and for the most part, ponies were not. Right now you were in danger of losing your apartment, all you had was government support since your old job's place of business closed down and you got laid off.

You sat on your couch, and turned on your laptop. You were going to check your E-mail, you were expecting an important message relating to a job application you had filed. You had a pretty good education and lots of community service on your record but it still seemed a job was just one thing you could not get back. You sighed, and opened your web browser, so you could go and check it out. When you opened the page, it said you had a new E-Mail. To your surprise it was titled "Want to turn your life around". You shrugged, and assumed it was just spam. But it was strangely formatted, for one, the sender was blank, it appeared to come from nowhere, and it appeared you had received it just as you opened the page. You decided to open it.

Upon opening it, you were greeted by plain text, to your amusement, it was about My Little Pony, your favorite show. It was a strange coincidence that the sender of this E-mail knew you liked the show. But you looked in astonishment. The Email-said the following:

Hello, I am sending this in regards to your wish.

I have been informed that you have wished that Equestria could be real, that you could drown away the sorrows of your everyday life. I am not at all surprised someone would wish for that. But what if I told you, I could make your wish come true. This is going to sound quite far-fetched. But why not try it. I promise, this is worth the read.

You see, I am, well, my occupation is not really important, you can just call me Suprememessage. I am, to the average person, just

another user of the internet, nothing more, but in reality, I am a being capable of things your brain cannot physically imagine. Now I must warn you, if you go through with this, some it might come as a shock. But I promise you that if you truly wish for this, then it is the thing to do.

I can transport you to Equestria. Now, you probably don't believe me. That's understandable, but why not quell your disbelief and click the link below? After all, it couldn't hurt.

From your dear friend

You looked at this E-mail very confused, who is this guy? And why would he send you something like this? Your first thought,being the techsavvy guy you were, was that this link was to a virus, but you looked at it closely, and noticed that it wasn't anything you recognised, it wasn't .com, or .net. or .org, or .uk or .us or anything. What harm could it do, you chimed to yourself whimsically, and you clicked on the link. Suddenly you felt like your head was nonexistant, like it had no weight at all. You were met by the cold floor with haste. And before you knew it, you were unconscious.

You awoke with a jolt upwards. You looked around you, and the first thing you noticed was the technicolor landscape. You recognised this place, yet it remained alien in essence, it was like you have known this place for years but it felt new. You looked at your hands, you were normal, unharmed. And you thought that there were a few distinct possibilities:

1.) You're dead

2.) It worked

3.) You're dreaming

The second one was very, very, VERY unlikely and you would immediately rule it out, had you not been in the position you were. You stood up, and looked around, by memory, you could say it was the Everfree Forest. You were feeling happy, and excited, and confused. This is against logic, but you were so overwhelmed with bliss that frankly you didn't care whether you were actually here or not. You kind of caused a bit of a ruckus, actually.  You looked around, and decided the best course of action would be to find your way towards Ponyville, if you remember the layout of the landscape correctly. All you still had with you were your clothes and the tools in your pocket, which included a cellphone, a switch blade, and some assorted candies.

Suddenly, a pony appeared, compared to you, the pony was about up to your neck. You recognised this yellow form, it was Fluttershy. She didn't notice you, and appeared to be picking berries, you panicked, and hid behind a tree. She walked by, and didn't seem to notice you, you slowly tried to sneak towards the bushes, but luck betrayed you when you stepped on a branch, causing a crackle noise that immediately startled Fluttershy, so she turned around. She looked at you, petrified.

Fluttershy started to talk, the dialogue went like this

"What...what are you"? Fluttershy asked

"I'm...I'm human". You retorted quickly without emotion

"You...can talk!?" She squeeled.

Yes, I can talk, you replied to Fluttershy. She suddenly stepped back, when a shy look crossed her face. But she seemed intrigued by you, as she had apparantly never seen a human before. Fluttershy asked you where you lived, to which you replied, that you don't have a home. She looked down and blushed, and asked if you would like to come back to her cottage with her, as it was supposed to be very cold that night, and it was getting late.

"I'll come if it's okay with you" you replied.

To which she nodded and walked to the West, you followed her. Eventually you came upon Fluttershy's cottage and you walked across the bridge. You tried to get her to lighten up to you with small talk, but before you could say one word she started for you. "So, where did you come from,  I mean, if you want to answer" and you thought about the answer you would try to give. "Well, I'm not from around here, I live in a town that's nowhere near here, honestly". "So you do have towns? That means there's more of you?" she smiled briskly. Under her breath she whispered "He's so cute", it was quiet enough that you did not hear it.

She opened the door and you both walked in, Angel and the other animals were sleeping, the cottage smelled faintly of vanilla and was very well kept. You closed the door gently, and Fluttershy motion for you to follow her up a flight of stairs, and you walked into a bedroom. She closed the door and said "You can sleep in here, with me, if you're okay with that, or if you..want...I could sleep out on the couch downstairs" she said in a kind of loud whisper, so to speak. "I can sleep in here with you" you replied. She pulled down the covers and you both got into the bed together, and she said "Goodnight" to which you responded the same. Before you knew it, you were asleep.
