Chapter 1: Beginning of An Era
Load Full Story Next ChapterMy name is Riley, I am a brony. I am in a clan of gamers who play just to have fun. You might know who I am, but I will just shorten names, and alter it a bit. I know I can’t start this story off with an autobiography, but I can tell you about the time I met somepony REALLY special...Enjoy, the story of the time I met Rainbow Dash.
Day 1, October 17
Today, I was playing minecraft, when I heard a bang on my window. I jerk my head over to the sound, but I see nothing. When I hear more knocks, I get tense as I look over, and there is the thing that makes me think " what?!?" was...Rainbow Dash.
She is sitting there with a sad look on her face. I could tell she was upset about something, she looked cold, for she had her arms wrapped around herself, she was shivering, and she was staring at me. I wanted to let her in, but I was too busy trying to figure out why she was even HERE.
I let her in, and she thanks me, asks me where she is. I tell her where she is, and she nods her head. We are currently friends, and we took some pictures together. I also told her she could sleep in my step-brothers bed.
I also told her that she could stay with me until she could find a way back to her home town. She is happy, and although I'm not a brony, I'm happy.
Right now, it's actually October 18, the time is 2:55 in the morning. The only reason I'm up this late, is because I got out of bed, I climbed on the rail of Rainbow Dash's bed, and now, I'm sitting there, staring at her. How the HELL did she get to earth? I am gonna get some rest right now, while I can.
Day 2, October 18
Today, when I woke up, I felt something a little heavy on my lap. It couldn't be the cat, because this was heavier. It wasn't TOO big, but when I looked down, there was the sleeping Rainbow Dash on my lap. She sat there, but she woke up soon after I saw her there...being her, she just kinda stared at me, then she flipped herself over, and just sat there laying down on my body.
Then, she finally got off. She went behind the bed, and we talked some more. We had breakfast, and some milk, and we went back to my room before anyone could notice she was there.
Somewhere around 12:00 Am, it was time to have lunch. So Dahsie and I went into the kitchen, I cooked some top ramen, for us. While we were eating, she got curious, and climbed on top of the cabinet, I was worried she might fall (even though she had wings, and could break her fall), I asked her to please get off, she looked at me, and frowned, got off. I felt bad, so I said come here, and hugged her. She returned with a hug.
So after we were done, we took a pic in the kitchen, and headed back to my room. I had to get some clothes on, so asked her to just hide in the hallway until I was done, I smiled and gently closed the door, got dressed, then I let her back in. Soon, we just derped around a bit. That was good.
I still can't believe I'm friends with a cartoon character. It feels weird. Although Rainbow Dash came into my house, I let her stay, and I might be thinking things are getting weird...things haven't been as weird as right now...I showed Dash what Avenged Sevenfold is.
At first she said she likes rock music, and I said this is a bit more...hardcore than rock. Stupidly, I don't play one of their more "softcore" songs...I played Eternal Rest.
I don't know if you know this, but back in 1999-2003, Avenged Sevenfold was a REALLY hardcore screamo band. Some of their songs were really gloomy, and creepy. Now, since their album City of Evil was released, their lead vocalist, M. Shadows said that he didn't want to do screamo anymore. That decision made them popular, when they released the song "Bat Country". That's really funny, because that was on Guitar Hero W.O.R. If it weren't for that game, I wouldn't be playing guitar, OR listening to Avenged Sevenfold. So I played this song, which had screaming, fast solos, heavy riffs, and scary sounding choruses.
She kind of looked a little nervous, I stopped the song... "Oh...my...GOD." I asked her what she thought about it. She said she had never gotten her blood sugar risen that HIGH before since she did a sonic rainboom at the best flyer's award. I'm not sure what the HELL a sonic rainboom is, but I could always just go on Netflix, and take a peek at My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and see. Or I could always just ask a brony.
She asked to hear more. I stopped talking for a minute, I picked up my guitar, and began to set up my amp, and sustainer pedal. She asked what I was doing. I told just to be patient, but I told her in a weird way. I said "Hold on, my child." in a playing matter. She smiled a bit. She understood now, she then sat down patiently. I took a while. She looked BORED out of her mind. I turned on my sustainer, and the amp, plugged in my guitar, and I started playing the riff after the first screaming verse in Eternal Rest.
She perked up, looked at me, and smiled as soon as I struck the 5th chord. She cheered. I felt happy. So I played more, and she liked it. I'm glad. After that, I showed her their new album, Hail to The King, and she agreed that they are ALOT better then were back in the Waking the Fallen days.
So as we listened to it, we payed up against my bed, I could see her start to drift off to sleep, and I was too worried. The only reason I stayed up longer was because I was worried that she might be seen by my parents. What would they do if they saw a cyan pegasus sleeping beside me? I couldn't move because she was already asleep, I couldn't close the door, or hide her. So my only option was to fall asleep.
I woke up to my parents' voice. "What the hell!?" I heard mom say. Rainbow Dash was still asleep by my side. I held a finger over my mouth, and whispered, "She's sleeping." As soon as I Said that, she started pacing, and I could see that she was wondering what was going on. I told her that she is one of the characters from My Little Pony, her name was Rainbow Dash. I also told her that I had no idea what the hell was happening, either. So I told mom just to play it cool when she wakes up, I also told her that she might flip out a bit when she sees you. I told her to also keep it a SECRET, because I don't want her to be taken from me, unless another pony was at the door. Because this would screw up ALOT of things in earth, and ( I looked up facts about MLP so I could tell this story right, I might sound like a brony, but I'm just stating what I think I know about it. ) Unless the princess and twilight come to my door to bring her back to equestria, she will not be taken away.
She woke up soon after I explained everything. The first reaction was a blank stare at my mom, she was obviously confused. I told her what was going on. I told her that mom wasn't going to hurt her. She didn't warm up to right away, it took a little getting-used-to for Dashie to get to know my mom.
After about a half hour, Dash slowly stood up, walked toward mom with her ears and head down, but her eyes were still on my mom. Mom didn’t move. I’m glad she decided to stay still, because Dashie probably would have flew away immediately. Dash layed down beside her, then got comfortable. After this, I crawled over there, and lied down beside Rainbow Dash. Again, we fell asleep beside each other. Before we fell asleep, I heard mom getting my attention with a psst. I look over and she was gesturing a “Cross my heart.” over her chest, and I knew this meant that it was our little secret. I mouthed “Thank you.” She nodded, and walked away, and closed the door.
I woke up a couple hours after we fell asleep. I look down, and there she still is. she is sleeping with her arms and legs stretched out toward my bed, her head is on my lap, and she is sleeping. I smiled, pulled out my iPod, and looked at our pictures together, then I started to think something. (I think...I might be becoming a...brony!).
The only reason I thought this, was because of 1, the MILLIONS of REALLY funny brony videos on YouTube, and 2, well, it doesn't take a genius to find out what the other reason is. In case you don’t know, HELLO! There is a real life Rainbow Dash sleeping beside me! I was SO tempted to pull up Netflix on my iPod, and watch the show. But the only reasons I’m NOT going to do that is because, 1. I’m not a brony, and 2. If Dash were to wake up, look at what I’m doing, she might get confused, and homesick.
