ONE WAY TICKET TO EQUESTRIA

DEPRESSION

EdgarDoesEverything

     Jason is seen standing in his 'cell' where he explored the area. The princesses watched him, taking notes, he didn't mind, In fact, he would be much as interested if their was a techno color pony in his room snooping around. There wasn't much to see, there was a room with a cot chained up to the wall, floating comfortably in the air. There was a restroom which wasn't a custom to humans, the toilet seat was on the floor which made Jason sighed. He walked passed the princesses and looked at the wall. He stood there for a while then went to sit on the cot. He sighed, letting it clearly know that he was bored.

     "Is everything alright?" Celestia asked

     "Ehhh... Just "hanging" He said in boredom

     "Well, It's five o'clock, an hour before dinner, Rarity is in her shop working on your new clothing while the other girls are getting ready for the dinner party that we're gonna have with you, Is there something you will like to do before we head over to the Royal Diner?" Luna said. Jason thought, he sniff his underarms and his eyes open in disgust, he chuckled then turned to Luna in a hot way.

     "How 'bout a shower?" He said

     "Ahh, simple request. Why not?"

    "I'll go check on things and tell the guards what's happening, It wouldn't be a great idea for him to take a shower in the local barracks so have Jason take a shower in my room or in yours, I'll meet you again soon, Jason, farewell" Celestia smiled at Jason which he returned back with a small wave. She left the room and left Luna and Jason alone.

     "I'm guessing it's going to take a while so that all the guards know what's up?" Jason guessed

     "Nope, It should only take a minute or so, there is speakers around the entire facility so the guard can be notified quickly and effectively" Luna said

     "Oh, well cool. Cool" He said, standing up. They stood around awkwardly not saying a thing. Luna was about to say something when a guard knock on the metal door.

     "Your highness, the transportation is ready!" The guard said

     "Well shall we get going?" Jason nodded and follow Luna outside to be greeted by a massive cluster-fuck of guards standing at position of attention, going all the way down the hallway which was a quarter of a mile.

    "I see that you have full trust on me" He said. Luna just rolled her eyes and smiled, the two walked down the hallway. Jason looked at every guard, they all eyeballed him when his passed through, this tick him off a bit. He knew that their ways were different and didn't knew if guards were allowed to look around while in position of attention but he still opened his big mouth

     "These guards right here" He said at Luna, she turned her head to see his face, meaning that you had your full attention at that person/pony.

     "Are supposed to be at position of attention..... Not eyeballing me" He said. Luna look at her guards and when she did, everypony went back to the 100-yard stare.

     "Hmmm. How do you know military standards?" She asked curiosity

     "My father is in the U.S Army, one of the four military branches in our nation, I'm taking JROTC courses in high school, so I'm basically following in his footsteps as it is my dream to join the Army."

     "Wow... I didn't knew you were interested in the military, what does JROTC mean?" She asked

     "Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps, JROTC for short. It's an early training course for young officers wanting to join the armed forces" He said proudly

     "What! You're saying that young humans such as your self are already being thought to serve and protect their country at an early age?" She said disbelief

     "Yeah, I mean if they grew up around guns and military items I'm sure they going to be interested in such an early age" He said, informing Luna who wow'd at the scene. The two finally reached the elevator. Luna used her magic to press LV 1. They went up 26 floors, Luna turned to Jason and almost met at eye level, Jason's head reached her snout so he had to lift his head up a bit to see her glistening sapphire eyes.

     "So how old are you Jason?" She asked

     "I'm 15"

     "So is that really young or old, I'm guessing that you're young because of your appearance" Luna said

     "Why yes, I'm young but close to an young adult, I'm three years away from turning to one. When I turn 21 then I'm consider and adult. There is what I think, six stages of our lives. Baby, child, teenager, young adult, adult and elder"  

     "Wow... How long do your species live?"

     "Well because of our advances in our technology, we can live up to 200 hundred years old, but most people don't want to and usually 'pull the plug' when they get bored of life and just, pass on to whatever happens when we die. If you're talking about one doing drugs and drinking beer often then don't expect them to pass sixty"

     "Ohhh... That's sort of close to our species but an hundred and twenty, not even close actually" she smiled

     "Oh, Well how old are you Princess?"

     "Please, call me Luna but I am eight thousand, two hundred and eighty-six years old" She smiled. Jason laughed and look at her to see she is not joking

     "You're kidding right?" She shaked her head

     "What did you sell your soul to satan or something?" He smiled

     "No, wait who is that? Anyways, I'm immortal like my sister. Her and I, including my parents are the only the purest Alicorns here" She said with all serious tone. Jason, whose jaw was on the ground, look at Luna with an odd look.

     "Uhh, well... You look......*AHEM* .... *AWKWARD COUGH*... Young and pretty" He said which made Luna flattered

     *DING*

The elevator door open, a bright white room was showed and blinded Jason for a bit until his eyes accustomed to the lighting, he still squinted through. Luna walked and Jason followed like a mother duckling leading the way while her babies followed, if one did not pay attention, it would be lost in a world that it knew nothing about and would surely perish.

     "There technology does not impress me! Wadsworth said in a unimpressed robotic voice

     "Your machine has feelings?" Luna asked while they walked down the medical center where busy ponies hurried around hoping not to drop their stack of papers as they galloped to places.

     "Yes, He was attached to me when I was born, The straps around my arm grow when I grow so no need to replace with a bigger version. Our BM 5000, Bodily Mechanism version 5000. Is... Well you can say, a part of us. If destroyed or lost, it would be the feeling of losing a limb. It keeps track of our.... well ENTIRE BEING! It tells us how we're feeling, our health, our   skills, our perks, our abilities, how hungry, how thirsty, how tired. It's an dictionary for each person that is attached to, well, If its not destroyed or on repair. It's also a weapons system for self defense, a doctor, someone to talk to for advice, your friend, your brother......." Jason paused and stopped walking. He began to knee down looking very depressed.

     "Jason! Please take an antidepressant! Your depression meter is rising! Please master!" Wadsworth begged

     "Wadsworth, what's wrong with Jason?" Luna asked worried

     "I'm not sure it would be okay with Jason to talk about the matter! Jason take your anti-depression! That's an order! If you don't, I'll inject it myself!" Wadsworth yelled in a robotic voice. A needle came out of one of the holes in the machine, Jason took it and popped the cap off and stab the needle in his right leg. He gritted a bit from the pain, he pushed the white liquid into his leg. After all of it was in, he took the needle out and rub the area slowly. He picked up the cap and placed it to the needle and place it back inside Wadsworth now.

     "refiling" Wadsworth said

     "Jason! Are you okay?" she said. Jason sniffed and wiped his eyes

     "Ye-yeah, just give me a m-mo-moment" He kneed there until he got his composer back, he stood up to see every pony there to be staring at him.

     "Sorry for going crazy for a bit, but something happen in the past which will haunt me for quite a while"

     "Would you like to talk about it?"

     "I'll tell you later, but for now... I just really want to shower"

Luna nodded, her and I walked down the hallway until we got to a large door that I guessed was made out of metal. Luna stuck her horn in a swirly hole and began using her magic, making various sounds, such as locks being opened. Then the door slowly moved outwards. I saw her panting, so I walked up to her and asked what was wrong. She told me that it's harder to open the door when her sister isn't there to assist her, and vice versa. We continued walking along a red carpet. The windows were covered by blinds, so it was dark, but not too dark. I guessed that we were in a castle because I saw gardens, stations, houses, and much more elegant structures outside the windows that were not covered by blinds. I was still a secret, so we basically had to be super ninjas, and sneak over to Luna's room. There would be a pony here and there that was not supposed to be there, so Luna would send a guard that was following us to make sure there were no ponies up ahead. If there were, the guard would take care of the pony and take them somewhere else. After we walked up the long and exhausting stairs, we got to the royal rooming, well, I thought it was royal, because I only saw room tags that had Princess Celestia, Luna and some other ponies that had names I couldn't pronounce. One of them started with a C, and I thought the stallion was “Shining” something? Anyways, we finally got to Luna’s bedroom.

      "Jason," Luna said "Welcome to La casa de Luna," She said, smiling.

      "I didn't knew that you ponies spoke Spanish, Wadsworth said.

      "Spanish? I was talking in elegant."

     "Elegant?"

     "Yes, It is used by the fancy ponies here, including the royal princesses," Luna explained.

     "Wow, I wonder if French is going to be vulgar here," Jason and Wadsworth chuckled, while Luna gave them a confused look. They entered her room, Jason ooooh’d  and aaaaaaaah’d, while Wadsworth criticized every detail he saw. Jason turned his volume down, which angered Wadsworth. Wadsworth reset his volume.

     "How dare you mute me!" Wadsworth exclaimed.

      "What? You were hurting Luna's feelings." Jason smirked. Luna didn't seemed hurt at all, and instead, she smiled at the machine when she realized it said “V 4000”.

     "Jason, you said that the BM was at V 5000? Why does yours say BM 4000?" Luna asked in confusion.

     "Well, this one is my father's BM 4000. He got it when he was born, and gave it to me when I was brought into the world, because he wanted me to have his because of how mature and wise Wadsworth was. Sure, the BM 5000 is as smart, but they took out the personality, and included more ways to be productive and more manageable, which is a really important thing in our world. If I would have gotten the BM 5000, it would have no emotion in his/her voice, and wouldn't have a personality. Your parents can choose to have it in the BM 5000, but most go for the cheaper and more "Successful" way for their children. He’s just not a machine to me, he is my father, he is my teacher, he is my friend, and he is my arm."

     "Oh shucks master, if I was a human, I would be blushing right now," Wadsworth said in a flattered tone."But yes, I have been teaching Jason, just like his father. We been through a lot, and I expect it to be the same with Jason. Your father brought me to war, and it was terribly horrific, and soon, I'll be going with my new master. Oh my! I haven't introduced myself! I am Wadsworth C. Dornez, but most people call me Unit 20,738,024,049. I am 114.7 in computer years, but In human age that is 68.2 years, so I am an elder; therefore, I have an old man's voice!" Wadsworth finished with a chuckle, while Luna was smiling and writing notes at a ridiculous speed. Jason spotted the shower, and looked at Luna. He pointed at it, and Luna nodded. He walked in the bathroom and locked the door. Luna went over to her desk and sat down in her cushion.

     "My goodness, I haven't done any paperwork since Jason came along!" She looked at the massive stack of paperwork, and began using her magic to look over them. She picked up a quill, and began to write down information. Luna heard Jason mumble something, sounding as  if he was trying to get the shower to turn on. Now, you might be smart, but when it comes to another specie’s shower, you don’t know anything, and it can be frustrating.

     "FUCK! HOW DO I GET THIS GOING!?!?" Jason yelled with rage.

     "Jason! Stop with the profanity! It is unbecoming of you." Wadsworth scolded Jason

     "I just want to take a shower..." He said miserably.

     "Jason, do you need help?" Luna asked.

     "No! I can do this myself!" Jason yelled.

     "*virtual cough* No he can't! *virtual cough*"

     "Shut up!" I am capable of turning on.... WHATEVER THE HELL THIS IS!" Jason yelled.

Luna got up, and trotted near the door, only to hear Wadsworth laughing hysterically, and Jason screaming complaints. She began to unlock the door with her magic, and she went in to see Jason naked, but didn't think twice. When Jason heard Luna come in, he jumped and dived into the strange bathtub, making Luna confused.

     "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN HERE!?" Jason screamed, while grabbing the curtains to cover himself

     "I'm just trying to help yo-EEP!" Luna ducked to dodge a shampoo bottle hurdling towards her.

     "GETOUTGETOUTGETOUT!!!" Jason scream, while Wadsworth was now laughing uncontrollably.

     "What's the problem? I was just going to tell you how to turn it on!" Luna said, still confused.

     "But I’m naked!" Jason screamed.

     "And? It's not like I haven’t already seen your-" Luna saw an incoming object and crouched behind the door. She closed her eyes, and a loud thud was heard from the door in front of her. She went back inside, and used her magic to turn on the, "alien shower", and closed the door. Jason could be heard screaming from the shower.

     "IT"S SOOOOOO COLD!!!" He screamed, while convulsing in the shower. Luna was panting, and she began to think. “Why would their species be uncomfortable being seen naked? Is it the lack of fur they have? It would make sense if they had made a taboo of it.” Luna began to blush, and shook her head. Then she gave a small chuckle, and went back to work. She heard Jason laughing in the shower, and cheering.

     "I guess he really wanted to shower, where's my notepad? I need to write this!"

     After writing down whatever interesting thing happen today, she saw a huge stack of paper in her desk and sighed.
