The Pony Visitors

By SenialHobo

Everyone focuses on the conversion bureaus. Nobody cares about how it began, or the aftermath. They try to forget, in any way possible. Whether that means explaining the conversions in stories, the first of which was written by Blaze. But I digress. I am not writing on the coping mechanisms of the survivors. I am writing this so that we will never forget. We can't forget our past. If we do, we lose ourselves. We lose what humanity may be left in us. I can't let that happen.

It all started that Saturday morning. Season three of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was supposed to begin. Little did we know this season wouldn't be in the show. It would be all around the world.

The very minute the new season was about to air, all the televisions went out. All there was was static. Then they came. The giant space ships, over all of the major cities, all at once. Everyone ran out of their houses at once, just to see them.

They were magnificent. Awe-inspiring. And fear-inducing beyond our wildest dreams. I stared up in wonder, as the view-screens came to life. An alien came on, but not like the ones we had always thought of. It wasn't gray or green, it didn't have an oval head. It was white. It had a flowing mane of several colors. It looked exactly like Celestia.

"Fear not, children of Earth." A voice boomed down from the heavens. A voice just like Celestia from the cartoons we all adored. "We come in peace. For decades of Earth time we have transmitted images of ourselves to you, that you might not fear us. We come, bringing aid to all of you. We formally request peace talks with all of your governments. Rest assured, we come only to benefit mankind."

Over the next few weeks, the American government allowed the ponies to construct the original 'conversion bureaus,' designed to funnel humans in and ponies out. Most bronies immediately went to be converted, as well as most people with major health problems, as the process miraculously healed everything.

I'm sure you know the stories of what goes on in there, most of which are correct. I will go into detail about my particular experience in one later.

Through your readings, you may have learned of the 'Human Liberation Front.' I'm certain they have been presented to you as evil SOBs without hearts and just hate the ponies because they are different.

All you know about them is pure speculation, other than maybe some of their acts. How do I know that all of the stories about them are wrong? Because I was their leader.

Here, let me start from the beginning...
