Tyler in Equestia

"Well, this day was surprisingly not as bad as I had thought it would be." I said to myself as I walked down the street after school had let out. After this morning's routine beating, Seth had just seemed to forget about me. Probably due to the fact that football season started and their first game was next weekend. Thank God, because that would take me off his mind and he would be more concerned about going to state this year.

It wasn't long before I was walking up to the front door of my house. As i walked through the door, I was greeted by Hailey, my Husky-Wolf hybrid. She jumped up to my level and looked at my with her pretty sapphire blue eyes and started whining, showing that she missed me just as much as the day before. I found her about two of living in Connecticut. I was at the park near the school i attend. I was just sitting under a big oak tree when this dirty pup came out of nowhere and just laid his head on my lap. He looked up at me with these eyes that no one could ever say 'no' to. It took a lot to convince my grands to let me keep him, but i managed to do so. She's been my best friend ever since then.

"Hello Tyler. How was you day?" asked a man at stair case.

"It was fine Micheal." I answered as I made the excited dog get down.

Micheal Harris is our caretaker. He basically watches and cleans the house while I'm gone, and helps my grandmother around the house now that she getting to that age.

"How's Granny doing today?"

"She's fine. But i fear that her condition is worsening?" answered the young man.

"I would worry that much about her. She may be old but she's strong."

"Who are you calling 'old'. I'm still as spry as ever?" yelled a voice at the top of the stair case

"Sorry Granny," I called back. "Just don't get over excited."

"Oh, don't you worry about me. I'll be fine."

"I know, but I don't want you to have a hearts attack like grand-dad."

Geoffry and Merriam Hughes are my Grandparents. They were both well known in town. My grandfather for being a war hero in Vietnam and my grandmother for being the most strict of parents. She had raised five kids where as my mother was the second youngest. She had raised all three on her own while her husband was gone for his deployment and she raised them well. She taught them to respect her as well as others. When her Oldest son had told her that he was eighteen and didnt have to listen to her, the next day when he had left the house, he returned to see that all of his clothes and belongings were out in the drive way and the youngest sister had her own room. My granny wouldn't put up with it and she still doesn't . People always know who they're talking to when they speak to my grandmother. As for my grand dad he passed on two years ago because of a massive hearts attack.

"Quit your worrying, I've got a few more years left in me. I'm as healthy as a horse."

"That's what worries me." I said under my breath

"What was that?" She raised her voice

"Nothing. Nothing at all. I've got homework to do. C'mon Hailey" I responded quickly, moving up the stairs and side stepping pass the fear inspiring old women.

"Yeah, that's what i thought." she said with a smile on her face.

"Micheal!" she called out.

"Yes ma'am." Micheal responded.

"You will watch him if something ever happens to me, right?"

"Yes ma'am. You and Mr. Hughes have both been kind to me all these years. It's the least I could do."

"Good. I feel as if my time is coming close. It wont be too long that I'll be gone. Now help me into the kitchen. its time to make dinner"

"Yes ma'am, Mrs. Hughes."

"Why did i almost provoke the old women." I said as my companion and I enter my room and close the door. "I must have a death wish." I said to Hailey. The dog just stared at me wagging it's tail and tilted it's head. "Go chew on your bone or something." And with that the dog immediately ran to the corner of the room where a big pillow was with her half eaten bone.

"Good thing i don't really have homework to do. Now i can finish my project." I said as I made my way to make work desk. My work area was littered with cables, screws and parts from both a PS3 and Xbox. I had an idea to make an operating system for a new console I'm making that can play both PS3 and Xbox 360 games. I've got a good while to go before I'm finished. "Let's get this crap started." I said as I placed my headphones on and started blaring Brantley Gilbert off my iPhone.

"Man, That was a long day. I'm just glad we're done." Spike said with a tired look on his face.

"I know, Spike. Let's just get back to the library so I can start reading the book the Princess gave. You can go to sleep when we're home" Twilight said with an equally exhausted look on her face.

"Oh yeah, I forgot that I have some gems back at home! How could I forget?" Spike proclaimed with a burst of energy.

"Oh Spike, you and your gems."

"Twilight! Twilight! I Need your help!" said a quiet and worried voice.

The Purple unicorn turned her head to see who it was that was calling for her. What she saw was a yellow Pegasus with a pink mane running as fast as she could.

"Fluttershy! What's wrong? Did something happen?" Twilight asked

"It's awful. Just terrible, absolutely terrible." said the worried mare

"What is?"

"Angel bunny ran off. I looked all around my cottage but I couldn't find him. But i saw foot prints that look like his leading into the Everfree Forest."

"Why would he go in there?"

"I dont know. Please Twilight. Will you help me find him?"

"Of course. Spike you head on to the Library and wait for me there?"

"Will do." Spike said as he hurried off.

"Let's go, Fluttershy."

The two ponies ran as fast as they could to the Everyfree Forest. It wasn't long before they were at the edge of the forest. Twilight was the first to enter but Fluttershy froze dead in her tracks.

"Fluttershy, what are you doing, let's go."

"b-b-but its d-dark and sc-scary in there." said the stuttering timid pegasus.

"Come on, Fluttershy. The longer we stand here, the better the chances are that something else finds Angel."

"O-okay. We're coming angel. Don't worry." Fluttershy said finally working up the courage to enter the forest.

*sigh* "Another syntax error. Dammit" I said to myself as I buried my face into my hands. "I knew this was difficult, but damn."

I slide my headphones from off of my head to around my neck. I had been working nearly for three hours so it was no wonder why i was tired and aggravated. I turned in my chair to look in the corner and see what Hailey was doing, but she was laying on her back with her bone hanging out her mouth sleeping. "She has the right idea" i scoffed at myself. It was time to give up. My head was hurting from too much thinking and typing too many pseudocodes. I got out of chair and walked out of my room and to the bathroom to relieve myself.

As i finished my business I hear my grandmothers voice calling me down for dinner. I started down the stairs but heard the sounds of nails rubbing against the floor and the jingling sound of Hailey's collar. Even she knew it was time to eat. We both walked into the dining room. I took my place at the table where Micheal and granny were waiting and Hailey went straight to the other side of the room where her meal was waiting for her.

"So how was school today. Did that Seth boy give you any trouble." granny said breaking the few minutes of silence.

"It was surprisingly pleasant. I got the usual morning beating but that was all." I answered

"Tyler, when are you going to stand up against this boy? Haven't you had enough?"

I thought back to this morning when I was talking with Coby and told him my "plan". He was right when he said i wasn't serious. I wasn't going to do it, I had no intention of doing that. That wasn't how i did things.

"I don't know Gran. I just don't know what I'm going to do."

"What do you mean 'you don't know'? Tell the principal about it. Put an end to it."

"I doubt that will change anything. He'll still find ways to mess with me."

"Oh for the..! Alright then. Come Monday morning, I'm going to go to your school and march straight to the principal's office to discuss the issue."

"Oh God, no. Please don't do this Gran. You don't need to..."

"No!" Interrupted the aggravated old women and shot up. "This WILL end! I'm tired of seeing you come home with bruises and..." she stopped and started gasping and clenched her chest. Both Micheal and I knew instantly she had pushed her self too far. Even the dog knew. As we both rushed over to her side to hold her up so she would fall and slowly sat her down back in the chair. "I'm fine. Quit worrying about me." she said breathing heavy. Hailey made her way to the over excited women and laid her head in granny's lap and started her whining. "You quit too. It'll take a lot more than anxiety for me to keel over." said the tired old women petting the dogs head.

" Granny, I know your worried about me, but you don't need to. Trust that i can handle myself. I'm already sixteen years old."

"Alright. You really are your mother's son. Stubborn as a mule."

"We both know where she got THAT from." I chuckled.

"Oh, Hush. Micheal, help me up to my room, would you please?"

"Yes ma'am." Micheal respond as he helped the exhausted women.

"I'll start washing the dishes." I said. Gran and her aid were already walking up the stair case.

I looked over to Hailey to see that she was right were she was where gran was sitting."What a night, huh?" She just looked back up at me and just laid down and with that i collected the dirty dishes, silverware, and cups to be washed.

The two ponies were walking up to Fluttershy's cottage with their furry friend in hoof. "I'm glad that Zecora found Angel before anything else did." Twilight said even more tired than before her's and Fluttershy's search for her pet bunny.

"So am I. Thanks again Twilight for coming help find him." said the relieved pegasus.

"It's not a problem at all Fluttershy." She looked at Angel. "Try not to run off again, okay?" Angel gave a little salute as to show he understood.

"I think it's time I headed back home. I didn't realize it had gotten this late. Good night Fluttershy."

"Good night Twilight. Sleep well." Fluttershy said with Angel on her back waving goodbye.

As Twilight walked through the door of the Library, she saw her assistant sitting on the stairs waiting for her return. "Twilight! You're back! Did you find Angel?" asked the purple dragon.

"Yes we did. Zecora found him near her hut. Lucky for us."Twilight said. "I guess I won't be able to read that book. And I was looking forward to starting tonight."

"We're not doing anything tomorrow. You can start in the morning."

"I guess you're right. We had a long day today. Why don't you go ahead to bed. I'll be up in a little bit, I need to clean up and put the rest of the books back up."

"Okay. Good night Twi." Spike yawned.

"Good night."

It didnt take long for Twilight to put the books up. She looked at the table where the book that Princess Celestia had given her for her assignment. "Maybe I'll read a little bit, then head up to bed." She said as she maid her way to the table and cracked open the book and started reading the first page.
