Chat!

Twilight, still quite surprised by the image she saw before, asked "-What..what was that?"

"-Bronies, part of 4Chan. I thought you were one of us."

"-Who are those... ‘bronies’?"

"-Well, short explanation, the bronies are teenagers and young adults who like the TV show ‘My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic’. For more details, here’s the Wikipedia page."

A block of blue text appeared in the chat. The text was still illegible, but the letters were different from those before... she clicked on the page and started to read it. It was only ten minutes later that she stumbled upon the section titled “Synopsis”.

"The show is about the adventures of the purple unicorn Twilight Sparkle."

Disturbed by what she read she returned to the chat, asking: “Who would be so mentally disturbed to follows me around and writes all this stuff down?”

The answer came swiftly and surprised her more than she could express.

"-Well, I guess that you are Twilight Sparkle, unless you arre a strange guy. Sorry for the shock, but I thought that you were a human. Seeing you in the brony forum made me curious about your presence in this chatroom."

Twilight's jaw dropped, and a short jingle played in her head before she passed out.

One hour later, Twilight  awoke, surrounded by her friends. After a short awkward silence, Rainbow Dash asked: "Why did you pass out? Did you study too much again? Well, I told you egghead to not keep studying until late night!"

"No, Rainbow, I found out something quite shocking..."

"What is it Twilight?"

"I we are being... STALKED!"

"What does it mean?"

"It means that we are being watched...", Pinkie Pie said sarcastically while entering through a windows.

"Well, that's new..."

"Yes for you Pinkie, but I always thought that you were just being random when you talked to thin air. I never believed that you were actually ‘breaking the fourth wall’."

"Well, now there is the proof that I really do it! By the way, where did you find this info?"

"On my new computer... while I was connected to the internet..."

"The what?"

"A system of communication who connects between eachother different computers... but this doesen't seem propely techinical way... it's used more as "chat system" between distant people, no matter their work..."

"That seems interesting, how it works?", Twilight Sparkle started to explain briefly as possible to Pinkie how all the thing worked, until Pinkie, eventually burned out, asked abruptly :

"And where did you go?"

"Spike did it. He opened some type of site called "Legionari Brony", a site that talks about us and what we are doing..."

"Well, I’m going to try it out." Pinkie bounced downstairs and turned on the computer then she accessed the internet... only to suddenly stop. She could not type the name.

"Twilight, how do you write with you hooves?"

"I have these sticks but...": she couldn’t finish the sentence because Pinkie Pie already had grabbed a stick in her mouth and started to type the name of the site.

The other part:

After he had lunch and did his homeworks, Felix sat down in front of his computer and tried to enter the site again. He wanted to see if Twilight Sparkle was still in the chatroom, which she was, the text however had a lot more spelling errors than before.

He asked: "-Oh, hi, Twilight, are you there?"

"-No, I'm Pinkie Pie, nice to meet you."

"-Likewise.

-Anyhow, if you have questions about something related to me, ask freely"

Five minutes passed before she answered:” -Oh hi, can I ask you some questions? First: how can you see us? I mean, how are you able to watch us while we are on our adventures?"

“- Well, it’s a bit weird, there’s a woman here who writes cartoons about you. She’s called Lauren Faust. However I don’t know whether you are really just cartoon figures written by her, or if maybe she just writes down the things she sees in your world. I mean you seem to have some sort of free will, so the second option doesn’t seem entirely impossible."

"-Lauren Faust? Are we talking about the same pony here?"

"-I don't know, who is she in your world?"

"-The mother of Celestia and Luna..."

"-Well, so yes, in mine she is the creator of the "peeping", so it's surely her."

"-Mmm, so you are saying that basically a human is seeing what we are doing here, and is writing about us to entertain other humans?"

"- Theoretically no. It all started as a way to sell toys to little children, and there were other stories before yours. I’m not sure if it’s too much for you to handle, but I might think that those were about your ancestors. "

"-Well, there’s nothing that could stop me from exploring it..."

"-If I really can’t stop you...", Felix searched on Youtube for the episodes, hoping to NOT find them, but sadly he did. He found two or three of them. He lightly bit his tongue and ground his teeth before he posted the link.

A few minutes later, Twilight Sparkle returned to the chat and said: "-Well, nothing too bad. If they really were my ancestors, then they were probably a bit less intelligent. Anyway, back to our topic, how did this peepshow of our lives become entertainment for adults?"

"-It's not properly for grew up, but maybe after a long selection of particular situations she took the ones who seem with more enjoyable quotes coming from the various things coming from our culture, something more enjoyable  by we as young adult/teenagers; plus, the "moral lessons" are teached assuming that the spectator has a bit of brain, at difference of the other "generations"... "

"-So if I understand it correctly, some teenagers watched the show and though it was good, and from there things escalated quickly.

-I want to ask more questions, but the others want their turn as well."

"-No problem, just tell me who I’m talking to beforehand and I will try to answer all your questions."
