Wish It Were True.
In a small house on the edge of the mountain's side, there is a small house where a human teen lives. He is a simple writer, gamer, and brony.
He stands at six feet tall exactly with coal black hair and even darker eyes. He wears a grey and black checkered hoodie with a dark grey beanie covering his head and brown fingerless gloves on his hands. On his legs are a simple set of deep blue jeans. Not so special right?
He is currently sitting on his bed typing away on his laptop while listening to some fan made Brony music, to be more specific the song Discord-Tombstone remix. He closes his eyes and begins to quietly sing the lyrics before stopping and resuming his writing.
he finishes a chapter of his story before leaning back and sighing in relaxation. “Finally done.” He mumbles to himself as he leans back.
He weaves his fingers together before placing them behind his head and leaning against them with a smile on his face. Sadly, this was not meant to last long because a certain chitin layered, hole legged pony made a entrance.
“Isaac! What are you doing!?” Chrysalis yelled loud enough to go through his headphones and causing him to jump right out of his bed and land flat onto the floor. Chrysalis cackled madly as she saw the human groan and get off the ground.
“Oh fuck you too then, Chrys.” Isaac said from the floor and taking out his headphones. Chrysalis stopped laughing before picking up Isaac with her magic and dropping him onto the bed.
“You know I hate that name.” She said giving him a mock pout.
“And I hate it when you scare me like that.” Isaac retorted before sitting up right and going back to his computer. “And for your information, I am just now finishing up the latest chapter of my story.”
That is when another pony popped up. This one was dark grey with a ethereal flowing black and a red cape with white trimmings carefully clipped around his neck. “You did!? Can we read it?” Sombra asked hopping onto the other side of the bed with Isaac.
“Uuuh... I am not sure.” Isaac said lowering the screen of his laptop. “Last time I let you guys look at my story you began to get way too into it....”
“Oh come on. Don’t be such a sour puss.” A purple cloud said before it formed to show a solid black alicorn with baby blue armor covering parts of her features, such as her head, hooves, and chest. Isaac shook his head again.
“Sorry Nightmare.”He said while fully closing the computer. “Look I am glad you guys like my work, but you guys don’t really give the best advice.”
“What!? We give great advice!” Nightmare protested before Isaac gave a small glare which caused her to shift uncomfortably.
“You guys said I should have the main character die and replace him with a sadistic superhero that shoots crystal like lasers from his fingers.” Isaac deadpanned. This caused Nightmare and Chrysalis to snicker before looking to a blushing Sombra.
“You guys said it was a good idea.” Sombra mumbled drawing circles in the bed. Isaac just laughed for a moment before patting Sombra on the head and scratching him behind the ears which caused the shadowy pony to purr at the affection.
“Aaawwwww... How come he gets special treatment?” Chrysalis whined. Isaac laughed again before petting Chrysalis too.
“Oh now that is just unfair.” Nightmare Moon pouted.
“Should have been quicker.” Isaac laughed as he looked upon Nightmare’s expression. She just huffed before lowering her head and looking even more pitiful. “Oh fine! Just enough of the face!”
Nightmare smiled her toothy fanged smile before jumping onto the bed while Isaac let go of Sombra and began to scratch behind Nightmare’s ears. He laughed as Sombra whined in disapproval while Nightmare purred.
He smiled even wider before there was a sudden...
*CRACK*
“Mister Isaac! Can you tell me what the answer to this problem is?” The teacher in front of his desk asked. he was holding a ruler which is probably what made the awful noise that brought him from his dreams.
Isaac blinked for a moment before looking to the board. “Uuuuh...” He said quietly before the whole class began to laugh at him. It was bad enough that he was a brony, but now the school had this to stack on top of it.
“I will see you next tuesday for detention Isaac.” The teacher said before walking back to the board and resuming the lesson.
“Yes, Mister Fisher.” Isaac sneered before looking to the clock and seeing only ten minutes left of class. He sighed and pulled out his note book before taking his share of notes.
(~~~~~~~~~/)
Isaac arrived at his bus’s stop before stepping off and waving goodbye to his friends. He sighed and began to walk to his home. he looked to the sky and put his headphones in before watching the clouds before looking to his music and clicking a random song.
Gently bobbing his head to the music the world seemed to just fade away and before he knew it he had listened to at least eight songs before he was home. With a smile and a sigh, he walked inside with the most simple and comical greeting he could think of.
“Honey! I’m home!” He said and listening to the empty house echo his greeting before throwing his backpack to the ground. He lived alone since his family was gone due to a tragic accident and the only relative he had to take care of him was his aunt, but she traveled constantly due to her work. She sent him money and such to take care of him along with a bit extra to get him somethings to keep him entertained until she could see him.
Walking to his living room couch, he picked up his Xbox controller, pressed the home button, turned on the T.V. and watched as the T.V. sprung to life with his Xbox homepage up.
After a few hours of gaming he went to his backpack and pulled out his homework before finishing up what little he had. Putting away said homework, he walked to his room and pulled out his laptop and began to write for his story again.
he walked to the kitchen and made his dinner before taking it to a empty table. He sighed and looked at his food and then to the table.
“Yeah... I wish it was true.” He thought thinking of his dream that he had in school earlier today. He set his food down and sighed again when he felt something smooth and soft go under his left hand.
“But Isaac... Don’t you see?” He heard a familiar voice say. Then his right hand felt something furry and equally soft press against it.
“It is true.” A male voice said. Then he saw the familiar face of a certain dark, night alicorn fade into his vision.
“And we will never leave you. Ever.” She said smiling at him with a heart warming smile. Isaac smiled the biggest smile he never thought possible. He was now never going to be alone. And he had the best company. Letting tears fall from his eyes, he grabbed and hugged the nightly alicorn before sobbing into her coat.
“Thank you... So much.” He sobbed as the alicorn hugged him back.

Just a one shot short story that I wanted to write.
Not really my greatest work, but it's not that bad either.
The Creature.
A scientist was furiously scribbling down notes, hypotheses, and answers as he walked back and forth in his small lab. The lab itself was rather impressive with a amazing amounts of technology, testing equipment, high tech scanners, and even a hazardous environment suit.
The scientist himself was six-foot-two and was rather well built. His features consisted of a five ‘o'clock shadow’, thanks to his non stop work, with short coal black hair and azure blue eyes.
His name was Xaiver Ghew. His profession....
Xenologist.
He bit his lower lip in annoyance as he looked back at a large cage made of costly bullet and explosion proof glass which held a prize of any Xenologist worthy of being called of such.
Inside was a small creature with a black shell like body that stood on four legs. The legs were rather interesting as they were holed and at the end of each leg was a hoof like appendage. On the creature’s back rested two small translucent blue insect styled wings. Now the head was rather interesting as well as it held all of the most interesting features.
Upon the creature’s head was a simple smooth horn, fangs in it’s mouth, which was curled back into a snarl at the scientist, and it’s eyes. Light blue with a liquid paper white pupil which seemed to be a starburst shape.
The man walked over to the cage and knelt down to look directly at the creature, which promptly began to hiss at him. He just shook his head and looked upon the creature. It took him a few minutes of simple observation till he noticed the creature’s labored breathing. He tilted his head in wonder as the creature continued to pant.
The creature’s horn slowly began to glow before it simply fizzled out. He was wondering whether the creature was faking this or not, but he wasn’t going to wait to find out. His boss wanted that creature studied and possibly dissected if it wasn’t acidic in anyway.
‘Dumbass watches way too much Sci-Fi movies.’ He thought as he went over to the cabinet that held his hazardous environment suit. The thing was more or less a toned down juggernaut suit with radiation and acidic protection layers applied. So it was slightly slimmer, but only enough to increase his mobility. The helmet of the suit connected to the suit and had a small mask that gave a feed of a oxygen, so that if the specimen excreted a toxin he would not be affected.
Hopefully.
He sighed before pulling the suit out and piece by piece securing and fastening to make sure it was all set. After he was all suited up, he went back to the locker and grabbed a small pistol, a .45 ACP modern 1911 to be exact. He sighed again knowing that if the specimen became too hostile and or violent he would have to put it down easily. With that thought in mind, he grabbed the magazine with a very special ammo that was made to kill almost anything.
Explosive armor piercing rounds. Goes through tough armor then boom. Dead. He slammed the magazine into the gun and racked a bullet into the chamber, hoping to god he would have to use the device.
Slipping the gun into a holster on his suit, he grabbed several more tools from his examining table, such as a syringe for blood, scalpel for skin tissue samples, and swabs for saliva to test for what it could possibly eat. After he placed each tool and sample jar into a small bag. As he picked up the bag which contained his supplies, he walked over to the cube’s entrance and looked at the panel.
“1-34-53-76-2.” He mumbled to himself as he pressed the buttons on the panel causing it to flash green and show ‘Access granted’. The doors on the cube opened up and he walked in, albeit reluctantly, as the creature hissed at him, still with labored breaths.
“Calm down you little fucker.” Xavier cooed with a gentle tone as he slowly neared the alien. It just continued to hiss before it weakly fell to the ground, but got back up when it saw him get closer. “I said calm down.” Xavier hissed at the creature.
That got a reaction as the creature made a face like it just ate something bitter. Xavier tilted his head before it snarled again only coughing this time. It hacked for a few minutes before it finally and simply laid down. It’s expression was one of defeat as it laid its head between it’s hooves. Xavier looked upon the creature with pity in his mind. The poor thing was helpless and it was just now realizing it.
He pulled out the small bag and pulled out the syringe first. It was small, but it certainly looked intimidating. He walked over to the creature cautiously as he was still unsure of whether or not it was just looking this way so it could jump him. As he neared it, the creature whimpered seeing his the syringe in his hand. He knelt down to the creature and placed a hand on it’s head.
The creature whimpered again as he hand makes contact with it’s chitin shell. Xavier simply sighed as he lowered the syringe to the creature’s neck before slowly and carefully piercing it’s chitin flesh. It let out a whimper of pain as the syringe filled up with a green fluid that Xavier assumed was it’s blood. He gently removed the syringe before putting a cap over the needle and gently putting it into his bag.
Next he pulled out a cotton swab and test tube with a lid before looking to the changeling again. He gently lifted it’s head and looked at it before seeing the absolute defeat and anguish of the poor creature. He shook his head again before using one hand to separate it’s lips and open it’s mouth so that he could get a sample of it’s saliva. It fidgeted for a moment as he used the swab to grab some saliva.
It smacked it’s lips as he put the swab into a test tube and put the cap on it, sealing it tightly. The creature smacked it’s lips for a moment before it suddenly leaped with it’s horn glowing again. Xavier’s eyes went wide as he reached for the gun on his suit, but it was too late. The creature touched it’s horn to his helmet and the next thing he knew he saw many things.
He saw many more of this creature’s kind and it’s most likely ruler as she was taller and more threatening than the rest. She called the creature’s ‘Changelings’. Then he saw ponies. Not just any ponies, colorful, vibrant, full of life, and... They acted... human. But even worse he saw what the creature did. It stole their lives and began to feed off their families and friends. But what it fed off of... Was love? How can a creature feed off love?
To make matters even more terrifying for Xavier it began to go through his memories as he began to see all sorts images from his past flash in front of his eyes. One in particular was his wife. She had died several years ago in a horrible car accident.
Her name was annabelle. She was Five-foot-nine and had long flowing black hair with emerald green eyes. A smile that would make his day better whether it was good or bad. Slender body that accented her perky and playful personality.
Tears welled up in his eyes at her image before the real world faded back to him and he saw her. Annabelle. Still in her red zip up hoodie and blue denim jeans that she had the day of the accident. She looked at him with the same tear filled eyes he had before she smiled that heart warming smile.
“Annabelle?... Is... Is that you?” Xavier asked as he held up a gloved hand to meet her cheek. She simply nodded in response and she held up a hand to caress his helmet covered face. The tears in Xavier’s eyes began to fall as he looked upon Annabelle. “Oh Annabelle!... OH god I have missed you Anna!”
He grabbed her and held her tight before sobbing behind his mask. She wrapped her arms around the suit encased Xavier as he sobbed in his mask. After several minutes he let go and looked at her before she looked at his eyes at well.
“Xavier...” Anna finally spoke only her tone was different. She was smiling, but her voice sounded sad. “Xavier promise me one thing.”
Xavier nodded quickly and smiling before saying. “Yes Anna anything! Just tell me!”
“Promise me...” She said getting close to his mask and leaning her forehead against his mask’s. “Promise me you won’t forget me...”
Xavier blinked in confusion. “Anna... What do you mea-”
BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM. Xavier just stopped moving for a moment before he looked down to see his suit torn open and his insides mangled. Along with his wounds, he saw a hand holding a gun. His gun. He looked up to Anna who was now wearing a face of pain and misery.
“And forgive me.” She said in the same tone of voice. Xavier fell backwards to the ground with his hands clutching his most likely fatal wounds. He hacked up blood into his mask as his breath was now labored and raspy. Anna, or the changeling, got up with the gun still in it’s grasp. It sighed a sad sigh and walked over to Xavier before throwing the gun to the farthest corner of the glass cube.
It began to walk by Xavier before he stopped it by grabbing it’s hand. Not firmly, but beggingly. It looked down upon him as he looked at it with a sad expression behind his mask.
“Please...” He wheezed out. “... Please, whatever you are, just let me... Just let me die with her.”
The changeling stared at the dying man on the ground before it simply crouched and sat by Xavier. It held his hand and looked upon his mask covered face. Xavier wheezed for a moment before he shakily used the little strength he had left in his body to disconnect and remove the helmet.
With several hisses from the mask and groans from Xavier the mask was taken off and now he looked up ‘Anna’ with his real eyes. The changeling smiled Anna’s smile and gently used it’s free hand to gently caress Xavier’s blood splattered face.
Xavier hacked out a bit more blood before his grip on Anna’s hand tightened for a moment and as he looked upon Anna for the final time he simply whispered.
“Thank... You...” And with his final words said, he slipped off into darkness.
The changeling felt his grip weaken completely before it simply dropped from it’s hands. With a blinding flash of green fire it was back to normal and full from the sudden love that Xavier gave to ‘Anna’, but it did not leave Xavier.
It simply stared upon his body for a moment before letting out several clicks from it’s throat. With another blinding flash, the creature had mimicked Xavier’s body and clothing before it stood up and walked to the door. Leaving the body, cube, and missing specimen for the guards to find later, The changeling walked out of the complex with much help from the maps, clerks, and janitors.
It stepped out into the fresh air and took a deep breath before walking off into the distance and disappearing completely.
A wanted poster of Xavier was seen on police screens everywhere the following week. A certain cop saw the pictures and smiled a toothy smile before giving a small chuckle.
“Thank you, Xavier.” He muttered to himself before logging off the computer and going home for the night to his loving family.
