"Are you a fan of My Little Pony?"

An ad popped-up while Dylan was searching through Equestria Daily. Normally he would just close the ad but this one intrigued him.

Dylan clicked 'Next' on the ad and another line popped-up. "If you think you are then answer this questionnaire and if you get them all right you and other lucky few will get to try 'Equestria' with a Virtual Reality Helmet before anyone else does."

Dylan gave the ad a shot and started answering the questions. To him, it was easy. After he finished in big words showed "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU WON! Just print out this receipt and give it to your local GameStop to get your game. Disclaimer: game not available until June/24 1 PM EST. Servers aren't online until June/25."

Dylan printed out the receipt and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Dylan combed his dirty blonde hair, cleaned his glasses, and then left the bathroom. Dylan walked over to his room and put on his jacket then walked over to the printer.

Dylan grabbed the receipt and got his skateboard out of the closet. Dylan took his phone out of his pocket and looked at it, June/24 12:45 Friday.

Folding the receipt into his pocket, Dylan walked out of his house, locking it behind him. Dylan hopped onto his skateboard and started skating to GameStop.

Arriving 20 minutes later, Dylan walked in. Seeing several children with their parents looking at the games Dylan saw a lot of people at the cash register, some were children with parents, others were 13-17 guys and girls, each walking out with the same item, Equestria.

Dylan walked up to the counter and waited his turn. When it came to him he handed the receipt to the GameStop clerks who looked at him for moment then started looking for another Equestria game. Dylan just turned 18 the past year, so he stood out fairly well. Dylan got his game and left GameStop, getting back onto his skateboard, and went home.

Once he arrived home he opened the box, Dylan always loved unboxing stuff. After he took out Equestria he put it into his computer and ran the installer. After a few minutes of installing it asked for the Virtual Reality helmet to be plugged in, which Dylan did.

The estimated time of it being done was over 8 hours, Dylan sighed but then remembered that servers didn't come online till June/25 which was tomorrow.

For the rest of the day Dylan either skateboarded, played his guitar, watch old My Little Pony videos, or played a game called 'Legend of Equestria' the game was in the process of being made 5 years ago in 2013.

Since then the game came out, there has been several more seasons of My Little Pony, not to mention a lot more shirts and toys. Dylan always wanted to go to a convention but could never find the time due to him being a Boy Scout, but now that he is 18 he might be able to go this year.

It got to midnight and Dylan decided to go to bed, waiting to play Equestria tomorrow.

Note from the author: yes I know this is a short chapter (very short) but it's a prologue. The main point of the story will be coming next chapter which shouldn't take too long.
