Once a Brony Always a Brony

Inspired somewhat by My Little Dashie
Entry 1: Wee my first journal entry, don’t have much to write about right now, hopefully writing one a day maybe? Give or take.
Entry 2: It seemed like just yesterday I started my journal, but it was already weeks past that. I haven’t written much in it except for a few drawings of ponies and my first entry. On another note my mom is in the hospital with breast cancer while my dad is working 24/7. I haven’t seen my dad for 2 months now, but he should be coming to support my mother. Except if he drives by a casino on his way here. Yeah he’s what made my mother work full time because he keeps losing money to gambling. The only thing that keeps me happy in life is My Little Pony Friendship is Magic, yeah, it might sound girlish, but once you start getting into it the whole world changes. Whenever you look into the clouds you picture Cloudsdale with all the little ponies flying around.
I sometimes wonder if Equestria does exist and I will live in it one day.
Entry 3: I can’t believe I keep forgetting about this thing, it’s been years since I made that last entry. I found this little bugger while I was packing up to move. I am moving to a place without Internet, without T.V, without ponies. I begged my mother to let me stay with some of my friends but my dad got a new job in the north at a oil rig, but my mother never lets him go out anymore unless shes there. I asked my mom if I could quickly go grab something before we leave, and of course she said yes. So I quickly rushed to the car and grabbed my wallet, then ran as fast as I could to the local Wall-Mart. Once I got in I had to slow down or the lady at the door would get mad. As this was happening I looked around for the toys section, then the girls section, and then... There it stood, the My Little Pony Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, and Applejack toys. I only had enough bits err I mean money for 1 pony though. I made up my mind and choose Fluttershy because she is the cutest of them all<3.
Entry 4: We finally arrived at our new house, it was a long car drive, but I was too busy with my Fluttershy. My mom said it was already 7:00 PM and I should get ready for bed. I didn’t really go to bed at 7:00, just my mom forces me to do that because I’m constantly on the internet posting about ponies or watching pony episodes, but I should get going, she sounds pretty mad.
Entry 5: My first day at school was horrible since I told one of my so called “friends” that I like my little pony. Everyone laughed at me. Even my science teacher. I told my mom I never wanna go to that school again but still, it was Friday and she said to let it sit over the weekend.
Entry 6: Like anything else could get worse, our house burned down. The only things I saved were my journal and my toy Fluttershy. Ah how I feel so nice with her even though my house burned down. Good thing we have friendly neighbors or we would not have a place to stay.
Entry 7: Today I was feeling a feeling I have never felt before. The feeling of greater happiness, this is what it’s like when you win the lottery. I felt something inside me light up for the first time, something shy, something cute, something.... like a pony.....
Entry 8: Tonight, I can’t sleep, I have been fiddling with my Fluttershy toy all night, it’s almost 3 AM, but I can’t keep wondering what is this “Feeling” I’m having.
Entry 9: Today I woke up without my Fluttershy toy in my hand, I looked around but all I could see was my room. I was deathly scared that I lost her, so I kept looking. Nothing except for a light pink tail sticking out of my closest and a soft squeaking. At this point my mind was starting to implode. “Could it really be.....Fluttershy?”
I had no intention of hurting her, so I quietly sneaked up behind her and said “Hello?”
Almost immeditly she squeaked loudly, alarming my parents. I quickly threw my blanket on her so my parents wouldn’t see I dragged a pony into the house. After my parents left I started to take off the blanket from Fluttershy, hoping she wouldn’t run away. I soon got her to come out of the closet and let me tell her where she was and what she should do. Almost right away all my problems were gone, but her problems were still there. This is just like a fanfic I read on the internet called My Little Dashie, except my pony is fully grown with her cutie mark.
Entry 10: For some time now Fluttershy has been living here, I tried to get her a pet bunny but she wanted to go back to her world, to Equestria, to Ponyville, to her old friends.
Sadly, theres nothing I can do but take care of her.
Entry 11: I have that bad feeling when you go out for a bit and you know somethings wrong or you forgot something, but this time it felt like something was burning up inside of me, a deep sorrow that nothing could match. Could it have anything to do with Fluttershy and how she misses her home? No it can’t be because we have no physical connection. Unless, no, but then that means...... I’m Fluttershy’s FAMILY?
Entry 12: It’s been a week since I found out I am close with Fluttershy, or should I call her sister or cousin. I haven’t told her about it yet, but I hope to do soon. She has been getting along quite nicely lately, and my family doesn’t care if I stay in my room all day. One thing I noticed is Fluttershy’s wings where feeling really weird since Fluttershy hasn’t flown for the last 1 or 2 weeks. Maybe if the rain starts I could take her out on a flight!
Entry 13: She did it! Fluttershy could fly still. Considering she has been “stuck” in my room for the past two weeks, she flew pretty good. Tried to do some aerial tricks like Rainbow Dash once did, but couldn’t get enough speed. I was thinking I could take Fluttershy out more often. Since my dad has been working a lot, my parents aren’t home as much, allowing much more time for me and Fluttershy to spend together.
Entry 14: Like all other nights Fluttershy curled up into a ball on the blanket I got her. Well it was more a My Little Pony blanket though, that my mom got me for my thirteenth birthday. I have had it for 2 years now and I always sleep with it, but it just seems right for Fluttershy to feel at home, well sorta.
Entry 15: Today I remembered all what happened before Fluttershy got here... My house was gone, not going to school. All that has changed since Fluttershy came into my life, as boring as it is. She stayed with me no matter what, if we got into a fight she would say sorry right away before I could even say something, but the worst is when she uses those puppy dog eyes on me, it’s so much d’awwwww in one session you could almost die! You gotta admit though she is pretty sneaky, like last night I caught her sneaking out to fly at night, even though every day I take her for more than 2 hours, she always wants to fly, no matter what. Maybe it’s something to do with this world and how her body reacts.
Entry --: I don’t even feel like putting the entry on here, I can’t find her anywhere. I hope shes safe and isn’t in trouble. Last night I think it was that she fly off to fly around, but I told her before bed there was a storm coming in and that she should stay indoors for a couple of days. That probably explains why she left, she knew the storm was coming even before the clouds were formed. I just hope she comes back safely. I would die if I were to ever lose her forever.
Entry 17: It’s been 2 days since my dear Fluttershy flew off. I’ve been crying every night hoping she would come back. It was the feeling of losing a loved one, but times it by 100. Every day and night after this I will try to forget what happened. Maybe this was all a dream and I was going to wake up. All I can say is if I ever forget this journal again, I will remember the day this happened and the time Fluttershy came into my life.
Entry 18: I didn’t get any sleep. Trying to forget something is hard and it’s extremely sad. If it was just losing a pet or animal, you could get over it, but losing a pony is much more sad and devastating then anything. I always dreamed of the day Fluttershy would curl up beside me and say she loves me, but that hasn’t happened yet. Maybe it’s the food I’m feeding her, or the bed I give her. All I know is that she is gone, and I will never see her again.
It’s been 4 years since my last entry. I’m crying right now, the memories came back, all of them. The first time I saw Fluttershy. The first time she let me touch her soft pink mane. The first night she was here, and how she was very scared. Everything about this night in my house was hard to understand. My dear pony Fluttershy ran away this night 4 years ago. A single tear dropped down my cheek before I started full on crying, weeping like I just lost both my parents. I would do anything just to see my ponies face one more time, the pink mane the soft, cuddly eyes. I wish oh I wish I could see her again.
It’s the morning after I made that sad entry. My face is still sad looking after last night. Hours of looking into the sky hoping, just hoping for her to come back. I tried to watch the show’s 5th season, but it was too hard. The new theme song just got stuck in my head, especially Fluttershy’s part. “Taking care of animals big and small”. That one line. It could make me do anything, just to hear Fluttershy talk one last time for me.
The most wonderful thing happened. A man came up to my door last night with a letter. It read:
“My Dearest friend. It has been many years since I last saw you. I flew by last night seeing you cry and weep in you bed. I have a present for you, come to the fields tomorrow night and I’ll show you something very special, but remember to not tell anyone.
From your My Little Pony - Fluttershy”
At that moment I bursted into a million year cry. My heart didn’t explode not once, not twice, but a MILLION times over again. My Little Pony Fluttershy invited me to something “very” special.
The fields were just out of sight from my window. I wish I could get a view, but it was almost midnight, and she was coming tomorrow night!
It’s one hour before I go, I’m packing with me, my journal, a pen, my camera, and my My Little Pony blanket, just in case it gets a little cold.
I’m walking down the path right now and can already see something in the distance, something with pink hair, but with something beside it. A huge glowing thing that looks like a portal. I saw Fluttershy and ran to her, weeping out saying “I love you” a thousand times over and over again.
She said to me to calm down. She has something important to tell me.
“Oh, you finally came, and I see your very happy. Before we leave I have some things to tell you. First -”
I cut her off just for a second to yell that were leaving, I had no idea of what she was talking about, I thought she wanted to show something special to me.
“Well you see, this portal leads to Equestria, everypony will be wondering who you are and such, that’s why I went already for the past 4 years trying to bring you this potion. It will turn you into a pony so you can live happily in Equestria with me. I risked my life going to the reaches of the Everfree Forest.”
At this point I was not weeping or crying , I was dying of how Fluttershy risked her life just to get me into Equestria. I knew I would never ever forget what happened that night, the night Fluttershy ran away. I grabbed the potion and smiled at Fluttershy with tears running down my cheeks,
I slowly pored the slimey liquid into my mouth. At once I felt something change inside me, I was getting tired rapidly, I felt like sleeping while standing up, then I fell to the ground.
It was not until a couple minutes after I drank the potion that I woke up. I got up and felt something, I looked down and saw my front hoofs. Then looked back and saw my back hoofs, I looked up at Fluttershy seeing how big she is. That’s when I noticed I was just a unicorn colt. I thought to myself if this was Fluttershy’s intent, maybe so we could have more time together. I looked up at Fluttershy as we trotted through the portal. The moment we went through I felt a feeling of safety and love. This would mark a very special day in my life. The day I went to Equestria. The worlds most loveable place on the planet with all the trees and animals.
The first few days of living in Equestria was a blast. I met up with the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Twilight and Rarity. They were amazed at how much magic I could do. I tried to join the local school for unicorns, but I failed the magic test, I got kicked out and had to run all the way to Fluttershy’s cottage just to get away from the laughing. Even some of the animals were laughing, but I couldn’t hear them as I was snuggling with Fluttershy. This is the day a brony would dream of, but it was real for me. Living in Equestria is better than anything I imagined. Going along with the Mane 6 in their Season 6 adventures was even more amazing. Living right up close to the action! This was truly, of course the best thing my life ever.
I wanted to write one more journal entry before anything happens. I am a master in magic and work with the princess herself, Twilight Sparkle. Fluttershy is still living in ponyville but goes up to Canterlot quite often now. Maybe to go vist Rarity or see Rainbow Dash preform a show in the wonderbolts. All I know is Ponyville is a quiet little city in the middle of a giant country called Equestria on a planet called PonyWorld a million miles away from Earth.
I wonder if I will ever go back, to the world I once lived in. Who knows except me.
The end. Thank you for reading.
