Day 6, October 21

School started up again, so I will not be able to say anything much.

Day 17, October 31

I know it's been a long time since I've written, but Dashie is still here, strangely enough, Twilight sent her a scroll, saying that she has been closely watching. She sees that Dash is happy here.
I was hoping to see that. That scroll also asked a question asking if she wanted to stay on earth, or go back to equestria. She said she's happy here. She wanted to have a portal in my house so that though. If she wanted her friends to visit her, they could always just come through the portal and visit. Overall though, she wants to spend the rest of her life here.
Another thing: everyone in both sides of the family know about Dashie, and most of them are pretty accepting about it. Very little of them are worried that I might be going insane.

So this is just an update. We aren't even doing anything. We are just sitting on the couch watching Netflix movies, and also waiting for Halloween. Although Dash can't obviously go, I have two costumes so that, if I have time, which I will make, I will go in my regular costume the first. Then after I have gone to every house, I will grab another bag. I will put on the other costume, and trick or treat again. The reason I'm doing this is because Dash needs something out of this, too.
No big deal, I'll just tell mom that I'll meet her at the house. Once she's gone after my first run, I'll manipulate a cloud, go up and change, then go back down, finish my second round, then use the same cloud to get back home. The potion Dash gave me: It's effects are permanent, so I won't be able to get rid of it. It's okay though, I enjoy the power. I've also used it to make excuses to stay home from school...yup, I just make it rain over house. At night, I go outside, then catch a cold. Believe it or not, it actually works!

Also, the only other people that know about Dash are my gaming group. I will call it, "GameGroup" for now. Me, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. I was thinking about letting my friend Taylor join us, but I need the confirmation from the others (there's no way they will say no, because he is an MLG).

Anyway, back to Dash and I! I am (for the first run) Jason Vorhees, and (for the second run) Freddy Kreuger. Dash said, for the after party we are having to make her feel happy, and a part of our Halloween, she said for that party, she would be A7X's lead guitarist, Synyster Gates. She has REALLY gotten to love Avenged Sevenfold. She even realized that my shirts would fit her, so I gave her one of my Avenged Sevenfold shirts.

She is happy, even though she can't wear it publicly. So it’s good that she is still happy. Got to stop here for now, gotta do homework right now.

OKAY! I got the assignment done, and we finished both of the runs for me and Dashie. I love her too much to not let her get nothing out of this. We ate candy for a while before the Halloween party. Not only did GameGroup come, but the other ponies from the mane 6 from My Little Pony came too! I guess Pinkie heard about the party, and she told her friends.

We celebrated Dash's first Halloween with us, and I even surprised the ponies with a performance on my guitar. And Jesus, I think I may have scared most of them REALLY bad. I also made sure the volume wasn't too loud, so that I didn't scare the crap out of Fluttershy.

I played Beast and The Harlot, Shepherd of Fire, and Nightmare on guitar. Only, with no music. I think I did okay, because Dash has heard those songs before, and was looking like she was approving. I couldn't tell what the rest were thinking. Twilight looked like she wasn’t a rock fan. Rarity looked around the house, and in my room, obviously wanting to stop the party, and rearrange everything. Applejack looked like she was just bored. Pinkie was too busy enjoying the party itself, and Fluttershy was hiding behind the couch.

She got out after the first song was over, but she looked a bit shaken up. Dash looked like she loved every part of my performance. GameGroup looked like they expected my performance.
When they saw the six ponies by me, their mouths dropped in awe. I laughed a bit under my breath...just after Dash and I broke out laughing on the floor.

-So, I am really great full of Riley to put this party on for me, and get me a share of Halloween candy. I thanked him, and he hugged me, and said, “You don't deserve to be left out because you are different, you deserve it. Although I DO wish you could come with us, I will gladly do this for you."

I felt really good from this. He was going to trick or treat twice, and throw a party in one night...for me. I feel like it's too much, but he told me it isn’t. After this, he said he had to do some homework, and I jokingly told him, "You are starting to sound a bit like Twilight." He playfully mocked her a bit. We laughed, and he went to work. He looked REALLY stressed out, and I needed to comfort him.

I did just that, and it worked. He was sweating a bit, and he was typing really fast on his computer. I went over to him, and gave him a good hug, and he returned it.

We sat there for a while, until he realized the work wasn’t getting itself done.

So after he did stop, we didn't pull away fast, but we just stopped. I sat by him. he didn't complete his assignment. He did say he was going to ask Twilight for help.

I doubt she is going to help him on the history of the Paleo Indians. He said it was worth a shot. Later, they went to the village, and Riley lent me his iPod. The reason he did this was because he had an app on there that could let you text phones, and he said he was gonna be gone for a LONG time, at least 4 hours. So he also said I needed to entertain myself, too. When they left, I watched TV shows like Family Guy, and Tosh.O on Netflix. It’s all Riley and I ever watch at all, so I wanted to watch something different.

I was scrolling randomly, when I went across something weird... It was a children's TV show. The only thing that confused me was the fact that...my 5 friends from Equestria and I were on the cover... The show was called "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic".

I got worried, because I have never been on a TV show, or movie before. I just decided to calm down, and ask about it when he got back. I watched something called Child's Play 2, because it was under the "Halloween Movies" category. Sure enough, it was scary. It was about a doll that went around killing people. It wasn't enough to scare me, of course. I actually thought it was pretty awesome, considering it was so bloody.

I was bored, and was missing Riley when he was gone. But I wouldn't go out to look for him. Besides, I can't take a risk like that.

Good thing I waited, because his family came back.
I asked how he was, and they said he's making his second run, and he will be back. I sighed, because I was worried about him.

Finally, he got home! Covered in sweat, he looked kind of cold, but I don’t see how he couldn’t be, he was gone for a good 4 hours. He was holding two big sacks in one hand, and had his arm wrapped around a costume. I grabbed a blanket from the hall closet, and gave it to him as I set the two sacks on the kitchen table. He wrapped himself about halfway, when he stopped, took it off, and took the sacks to his room. He came back, got the blanket, and asked me to come back with him to his room with a smile.

I came, and we walked into his room. He looked REALLY tired, but sat down by one of the sacks, and I sat down by him.

Before we did anything, we gave a good minute or so, then I thanked him. We opened up the sacks, and ate a little. He looked like he was about to doze off, but the noise of somepony stepping through the Equestrian Portal startled him awake.

It was my 5 friends. I got up, and greeted. Everypony said hi, except for Pinkie, who jumped on me, and wrestled a bit. We all laughed, except for Riley, who smiled. He was too tired to do anything at all.
Twilight took quick notice, and gave him a potion. I guess she assumed that he would do that, and brought it over just in case. He asked what it did, and she said it will give him a kick of energy that will last for 4 hours. He drank it, and immediately got up.

He wasn't hyper or tired, but he was himself again. I was glad to see that. He thanked her, and whispered in her ear, she looked at him...confused. He said he was having trouble with his work. She just said she will try her best to help him, but all of her books were back in equestria, and that he needed to come to ponyville with them for a short time so that she could help him.

He thanked her, and walked off. We were JUST getting into the living room, when Pinkie bursted in the room, and exclaimed something that scared the entire population of the family, the other 5, Riley, and myself.
"Well, this doesn't look like a party at all, I'll put up decorations, okay?" Riley introduced everyone to everypony. Everyone, and everypony met each other. Pinkie wasn’t the only one worried about the party. Rarity said, “Why, heavens, when the party is finished, I shall tend your living room.” I saw Riley’s step-dad mock her a bit. Rarity was the only one who didn’t see it, and the other ponies looked confused, but Riley gave him a look that said, “Dude, really?.” He simply nodded.

When the party was set up, we realized how good of a job Pinkie did. She put up toy skeletons on the piano, red and black streamers across the roof in the corners, and other Halloween themed things everywhere else. All of Riley’s family looked really surprised, and impressed. The ponies expected that.

So we had invited GameGroup over. They stepped into the door, one-by-one. And one-by-one, this is what they said, “Hey Riley, hi Rainbow. Glad I could co….” as they walked in, they all were stopped, because they were surprised by the 5 ponies standing by Riley and I.

Their mouths immediately dropped, and they looked really surprised. I could see Riley start to give off signs that said, “okay, that’s hilarious.” because he wanted to laugh, but held it. I couldn’t help but smile myself, but soon I found myself laughing on the ground with Riley.

We got up, and GameGroup wanted to see the 5 ponies, me, and Riley in his parents’ room, which was big enough for all of us to fit in. We all followed Riley, as he guided us to the room. After one of GG’s members shut the door, 1, 2, and 3 were FLIPPING OUT on Riley, saying things to him in a panicked whisper. The many whispers made the noise sound as loud as regular talking! Riley shut them up, and told them that they came because I originally came from the other ponies’ world. He said I ended up here. He then walked over to me, and said, “Best thing that’s ever happened to me.” I smiled, and said it was the best thing that happened to me, too.

We didn’t do anything after that, because all of our friends were right there watching us. I know GameGroup know we are dating, but I don’t think that MY friends knew yet. If they didn’t, they know now, because Twilight was grinning a bit, Pinkie was ready to jump in the air, Fluttershy blushed a bit, Applejack took off her hat, and Rarity looked...just astonished. They pulled him aside.

I followed until I reached the end of the door frame. They were asking him questions about our relationship, he just told most of the story, and they accepted it.

I walked out, and just before I could say anything, I remembered My Little Pony. I probably stood there for a good five seconds, thinking about it only seemed like one second to me.

I came out of deep thought, and the first thing I saw was Riley, looking worried. He was saying, “Is she okay?” I said yes, and he told me that I passed out as soon as I opened the door. He also said I wouldn’t wake up. He ran to the garage, got a bottled water, and handed it to me. I drank it, then we went back into the living room, and had the party.
When I saw Riley sneak into his room. I followed him back there. He was getting his guitar. I walked slowly into his room, and asked what he was doing. He said he was going to play a couple Avenged Sevenfold songs. I said I do love Avenged Sevenfold, his music, and him. “But nopony has ever really liked my music.” He looked at me, confused. I forgot that he doesn’t know what it means when somepony uses “pony” to describe a group of...well...ponies.

I explained that I was talking about my friends, and he got it. He said he didn’t really care. Later, he set up his guitar, amp, and pedal. He played Shepherd of Fire, Beast and the Harlot, and Nightmare. I loved it, and knew he was doing good.

I smiled, and sat back, and enjoyed it while the rest looked like they were trying to listen, but were also trying hard not to jump behind the couch...Oh wait, Fluttershy had just done that during the first song.
After the party was over, the ponies took Riley to ponyville, and Rarity took down the decorations, it had been midnight when the party ended. I was tired, but I wanted to ask him about the show. I got the courage, and then, “Riley, I want to talk for a minute, please.”

-So, before the party started, the 5 ponies, GameGroup, Dashie, and I were in my parents’ room, talking about why the 5 ponies were here.

I tried to tell them that they came because Dash originally came from their world “Equestria”, and that the 5 ponies were all Rainbow Dash’s friends. They came off, and all said okay. I walked over to Dash, and thought aloud, “Best thing that happened to me.” She smiled, then said the same thing back.

As I said that, I was going to start to lean towards her. The look on her face prevented me from doing that. She was trying to make it as clear as possible that her friends did not know about our relationship, but the looks on all of their faces were saying they all knew know.

3 of them beginning to blush a bit, Twilight, and Fluttershy both looked down, and smiled, Applejack took off her hat, and grinned a bit, but Rarity look a bit displeased. They took me out of the room. They left Dash and GameGroup back in the room.

The first thing I was asked was by Twilight, “Are you her...um..you know...” I said yes, then the rest of the questions piled on me. I can’t remember ANY of their questions because there were so many voices.
That was all I remember, when I heard the door open, and Dashie step out of the room...just before she fainted on the floor. Thank god none of my family came, but GameGroup, and the 5 ponies tried to crowd her, but I made it there before them.

I told them to please stand back. I could see the ponies getting worried about what I was going to do, but GameGroups’ expressions told me that they knew I would do the right thing.
I first put my ear to her chest...She was alive, but she was just unconscious. I sat there and did the only thing I could think I could do, we couldn’t call anybody, we couldn’t take her to a doctor, and I couldn’t take her to the Equestrian hospital. The ponies there would probably think I was a threat.

The only thing I did, was kept her in my arms, and thought of a solution. I sat there with her in my arms, until I started to panic. I didn’t notice her wake up, but I asked if any of the ponies thought she was alright.
Just after I asked, I heard Dashie say, “yeah.” I hugged her, but she was too weak to return it. I almost cried, but it all happened too fast for me to be able to shed any tears. She started to get up, but I asked Applejack to please grab a pillow from my room. She came back with one REALLY fast.

I set her head on top of it gently, then ran to get a bottled water. I ran back to where Dash had been laying, her eyes were half open, and her color was a lot lighter than it originally was. She came to me as a light blue pony, now she looked like a hazure colored pony.

She turned pale while she was out cold in my arms. I handed her the bottle, after I unscrewed the lid. She then drank it, got back up, and was back to normal.

After the party was over, Twilight brought me back to ponyville to help me finish my homework. We took a while to complete it. She was just as confused as I was, but we pulled through in the end. I thanked her, shook her hoof, then went back through the portal.

Just then, I saw a serious look in Dash’s face. The first thing I thought was, “Oh no…”
I sat down beside her. We were silent for a moment...than, she asked me something I hope she would not do,
“Riley, what is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?”. I said hold on with a heavy voice crack… I walked into the bathroom without shutting the door, and she followed me in.

I threw up, and she could see I knew what I was talking about, but she looked a bit worried. I was SO nervous, that it immediately came up. It was weird, because Dashie and I only had 3 Starburst, a Hershey’s and some Skittles. That was ALL we ate before and during the party, so I don’t see how that’s possible.

I cleaned everything up, looked at her, and said I was VERY sorry for that. “The question got me REALLY worked up.” She gave me a look like she understood completely, and forgave me.

The look showed that she wanted me to go on. I was hesitant at first, but as I saw that Dashie wasn’t mad, I was perfectly clear on explaining. She looked accepting...but a bit shocked. We went back to my room and we both lied down in bed. Me, because I was a bit sick, and Dashie, because she didn’t want to leave me alone.

We both fell asleep in my bed. I’m glad that this whole My Little Pony thing is over. I don’t want to stop here about my relationship with Dash. I want to continue it. So i will stop here, but I will continue tomorrow.
