She’s A Pony, He’s A Human

Prologue

Another boring day at work, and another night with nobody by his side. This was the life of Andrew. He was going on twenty years old, and his life was already in shambles. Unable to keep a steady job, he had settled on stocking shelves at the local warehouse. It paid the bills, but it didn’t get him any closer to his dream of being a computer engineer. He had never had a relationship that lasted longer than a month either. Most of the girls were too stupid for his tastes, and others dumped him.

That never bothered him though. All that mattered was getting the bills paid, and having a place to call home. Without that, he’d be begging for money on the streets. On the flipside, he had nothing to look forward to after a long day of work. His routine was work, eat, sleep, work, eat, sleep, and that was it. In fact, earlier in the day, he had been asked by a co-worker why he was single. Not one to mince words, he replied that every girl he knew was either dumb, or didn’t like him the same way.

Twilight Sparkle was currently sitting in the library, reading a book about the evolution of equines in Equestria. But she was having trouble focusing at the moment. Earlier in the day, her good friend Rarity had asked why she was single. She had said a good-looking mare such as herself should have had a significant other by now. But every time Twilight gave a stallion a chance, they were either stupid, or just wanted her for her flank. But she knew better than to let a stallion take advantage of her like that. The last time one had tried, she had used her magic to lift him up, then proceeded to buck him in his stallionhood, sending him flying off the balcony.

But it’s not like she ever needed a relationship anyways. She was content with lying on her bed every night with a good book. That was all she asked for and it was all she got. Every so often, a stallion would drop by and ask her out, but it was only on occasion and either way, the dates always ended horribly. Either she would insult his intellect, or he would insult her bookishness. If it came to that, she would simply trot away and forget it ever happened. But alas, tonight she felt lonely, a rare occurrence indeed for the lavender unicorn.

Playing DOOM always kept Andrew occupied, and tonight was no different. Killing zombies, demons, and the occasional imp was his idea of a good time. The game may not have the graphics of games from this day and age, but he didn’t care. All that mattered was gameplay, and in his opinion, DOOM had the best. His demon-slaughtering adventures were cut short when his cell phone began ringing though, and letting out a sigh, he answered the call and brought the phone up to his ear.

Before he knew it, his ears were assaulted by a very loud “HI!”.

“Uh... hello?”

He had never spoken with this girl before, and he already knew he was going to regret it if he kept talking.

“Whatcha doin’?” was the next thing he heard, and already, he was tired of talking to this woman.

“Look, I don’t know who you are, but I’m hanging up now.”

And hang up he did, cutting off the woman, who had been yelling into the phone once again. Letting out another sigh, he picked his controller back up and resumed his slaughter-fest. After a few minutes, he reached the Cyberdemon, and it was time to get serious. The first time he spotted him, he was immediately blasted to bits by the Cyberdemon’s rocket launcher.

“Fhtagn!”

Making sure to fill up his inventory with rockets the second time, he made his way outside to face the gargantuan, and as soon as he spotted him he let loose a barrage of rockets. Within a few minutes, the beast was dead, and the second episode of DOOM completed along with it.

Setting down his controller, he got up and turned off his console. Walking into his bedroom, he didn’t even bother getting undressed and simply collapsed on the bed, allowing sleep to take its hold over him.

Reading a book always made Twilight happy, but for some reason it wasn’t working tonight. No matter what kind of book she tried, nothing seemed to get her in a better mood. All they did was remind her of the fact that she was alone. Not even one of Pinkie Pie’s famous parties would be enough to lift her spirits. The only thing that would make her happy was a nice stallion to lie down with. Not in a sexual way, mind you, just someone she could cuddle up to at night. But it didn’t seem like that was ever going to be within her grasp.

She let out a discontented sigh, and peered out her bedside window. Looking at Luna’s beautiful night gave her an inkling. She was desperate, so maybe Luna would hear her if she made a wish upon a star. It was silly to think wishing for something would magically make it come true, but she had already tried to meet her special somepony the traditional way, and that hadn’t worked out at all. So why not take a shot in the dark?

“Luna, I don’t know if you can hear me or not, but I have a request.”

Twilight took a second to think of exactly how to word her request. She didn’t want to seem too demanding, but she wanted it to sound like she cared at the same time.

“I’m not sure if you’re capable of doing this, but I can’t think of any other options. I need to find my special somepony, and I need to do it now. But...”

She paused for a second, making sure not to sound demanding. “Could you send him to me?”
