"If you don't stop deal with those stupid ponies and working, you won't get fired! Is that clear?" the boss started yelling at me. "They make you stop thinking and doing your job. You're always distracted by them!"

"But I..." I tried to justify myself, but did not find the right words.

"What are you? You mean it didn't happen, didn't you?" he said and looked at me with reproach and anger" I understand everything of course; you are interested in them, you are fond of them and all that, but not to the same extent that you are distracted and do not do your job at all. I can't have that my dear employee. You never did that before. What happened to you and why did you become so careless?" he asked.

"To be honest, I don't know why it happened." I shrugged." Apparently they stirred my head. I can't explain it otherwise." barely justified I." I promise it will never happen again."

"You've said that before. So I doubt it very much, but I'll give you one last chance. If you don't get better in a few days, you'll be fired. All clear?

"Okay boss, okay." I replied and started to go home, but I was stopped by the boss.

"Wait. Here's something." he said and handed me a bundle." Here's your salary. Don't spend it on nonsense." he said and left, and I began to go home.

I hate strong my job so much. Getting a miserable salary and risking my ass. So far, all I'm capable of is moonlighting as some fucking security guard at a fucking strip club. Every day there are some drunk fights and uproars from, let's say severely drunk and fucked up people. Either you have to shovel all this shit alone and kick it out of the club, or in extreme cases, call for help, use a Shocker and take it to the cops. And depending on the shit that was going on at the fight, I got bruises starting and ending with the fracture of some part of the body or even several. But thank God such let rarely, mostly bruises and beatings. In general not life, and "fairy tale".

But in this all there is fun and what-no amount happiness. Ponies help me take my mind off all the shit that's going on around me and believe that there can still be friendship and happiness in this world. The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. But the harsh reality says otherwise. To be honest, I was already tired of it and I would like to see all the negativity that was around, disappeared and everything was fine. But this is just my dreams and nothing more. I've learned that a long time ago and there's nothing I can do about it.

But let's not talk about sad. I started to get involved with them about six months ago. It all started with the fact that one of my friends told me about this animated series as 'My little Pony: Friendship is Magic'. At first I did not attach much importance to it and after watching a couple of episodes, I thought that I did not need it. But after a while I decided to watch the full 6 seasons for fun. And you know what - I'm end up right. With each new series I've become more loyal to the cartoon and even began to try to draw something or write. But nothing good came of it. It came out very crooked and incoherent, as if he wrote some five-year-old child who had just finished kindergarten, learned to write and can not clearly Express his thought. On account of the drawings of the exact same. I tried to draw with everything I could — pencils, paints, watercolors, and even on the sand. And out of that came a complete slag that was impossible to make out. It turned out well, very crooked and quite creep. In General for their 20 years this seems enough strange and idiotic.

My friends at first laughed at me and said that I was too old for this kind of activity, like watching some stupid cartoon for little girls. But then they realized how much I was into it, and they stopped laughing. Several of them even began to be interested in it and became the same as I – brony. I don't consider myself them so as I never was on any festival. But despite this, I still remain him.

I didn't have a favorite character as such. Either I hated them fiercely, or I just didn't like them and felt so-so. But one character I still liked — it was farmer Applejack or, in short, AJ. I don't know why, but she's the one I like the most. Most likely because of her honesty, because I'm an honest man myself and I never lie. But maybe something more, I don't know yet. I sometimes ask myself — why not, for example, Twi or RD? The answer is simple — the first one pisses me off due to the fact that she always plays the role of a special pony in fanfiction, and I read a lot of them. And RD's just because she's an high self-esteem. Anyway, AJ rules, hehe.

And like any person who has brony status, I would like to get into Equestria. Although everyone knows it's unreal. Especially when I have a life sucks and rolls into total shit that I can't get out of. But again, this is just a dream that will not come true.

"Got any money?" asked from somewhere the undertaken stranger who turned out to be my homie Vlad.

"Very funny Vlad. I direct the ssus boiling water with laughter," I joked

"Glad you liked it, hehe," Vlad chuckled. "How was your day?"

"As always bad. Today, due to the altercation with the boss I almost got fired, and since 'normal'."

"Okay. I'm not good either. But my wife got pregnant, and that's good," Vlad explained with a small smile on his face, then changed to sadness." I feel sorry for you. Maybe I'll give you some money, so that at least as it is not poor?"

"Thanks to Vlad, but don't. I'm going to die from all the shit that's come over me. So I'll pass," I rejected the offer and opened the door to the entrance.

"Suit yourself Mike. If anything, you come to me. Whatever I can do." said Vlad and I went to the entrance.

Passing on the dirty staircase to the third floor, taking the key I opened the door and entered. The apartment shit, but you can live. Ordinary studio apartment with a small kitchen, bathroom and toilet.

I undressed and went to the kitchen to cook myself dinner. Opening the refrigerator, I found only a stew and a loaf of bread. Not very much, but there is something. I'm not a squeamish person. I cut two slices of bread and added the stew to them, and began to eat it. After eating, I decided to watch a couple of episodes of MLP. Include the room the TV, I lay down on the bed laying next to AJ plush that I bought recently for a relatively small sum in the amount of 10$ (don't know why I said it) and got to watch the last two series 5 of the season. At first I didn't want to buy this toy and thought it was all bullshit and that it wasn't for a grown man. But then I decided to buy a plush AJ at the Mall and now I always sleep with her. After about half an hour, I fell asleep.

Opening my eyes, I saw that I was in a place like an Apple orchard. Am I on AJ's farm, or am I wrong and seeing things? Just in case, I did not check it and went straight ahead. From afar they could see some kind of building similar to a barn and a light was burning there. The street was deep night, but for some reason no one slept. I should look there, though I'm a little afraid, because this is the first time I'll see my favorite pony. I am very worried, but decided not to look there at the same time to be noticed. So I walked carefully to the barn door and looked through the crack. But there was no one there and I still decided to enter. On the sly opening the door and having entered, I decided to a bit look around and suddenly I heard whose something voice, resembling AJ. I hid behind a haystack and listened.

"I finally finished my work. A little late, of course, but nothing. But all done and tomorrow will be slightly less work." she said with a sigh of fatigue. Then after warming up she went to the door of the barn. Here it is, AJ in all its glory — an orange earth pony with a mane combed in a pigtail and a hat on his head. When I look at it, I feel genuine happiness and my heart beats even harder. Finally I see its not on the screen TV, and live!

I decided to follow her along stealth so she wouldn't notice. But then everything went out and I was in a black void. After that, a creature approached me. And it turned out to be the Princess Luna! What is she doing here?!

"Well, hello human. How do you my sleep for you?" she asked with a hint of playfulness in her voice.

"What do you want from me and what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm here to help you get out of your terrible world. I've been watching you and your surroundings for a long time. In your world, I have known many horrors — wars, famine, terrible living conditions. I decided to help <b>precisely</b> you, because I seen yours misfortune to. I've seen you suffer in your world, in what terrible conditions you live." Luna said almost crying." Eat food which you no have almost no and live in a very terrible place in the world. I understand what it's like to be rejected and abandoned by everyone, and that's why I want to help you. Soon I'll get you out of here and you'll be safe from all this horror." Luna finished her speech.

She came down to me and hugged me. I hugged her back and heard her start crying against my shoulder. I began to stroke her mane and she calmed down a little.

"I'm sorry I didn't do it sooner. I just now managed to create a dream for you so you could contact me," Luna said, wiping her tears.

"It's no big deal Princess Luna."

"No need formality. Call me just Luna," she corrected me.

"Good, Luna," I said, and she began to depart slowly.

"The dream will pass soon, so I must leave you. In exactly 24 hours, I'll move you to Equestria. Wait. Soon you will be far away from all the horror that surrounded you. Farewell." she said and vanished into thin air, and I passed out.

Again once in the Canterlot castle and my own bed, Luna saw her sister next to yourself.

"Are you okay, sister?" Celestia asked.

"I'm fine, thank you," Luna replied.

"Will the man be all right? And anyway, are you sure this is a good idea and should him be moved to us at all? After all, it may be too dangerous for us and for the whole Equestria."

"I absolutely in this am sure, sister. I've seen too much horrible things with this man and I want him to be safe from all of them. I don't want him to suffer. Do you understand?" asked Luna a bit by shouting.

"Don't challenge my decision, sister. Why do you always argue with me without taking my decision, and wrangle?" asked Luna almost going to Kanterlot' Royal voice." Why don't you agree? I know on that going in and are willing to help this unfortunate person.

"Ok, I understood you Luna. I won't hold you back this time. Do what you want. But if he turns out to be what I think he is, it's on you." Celestia said, and went to raise the sun.

"What did the Luna find in this so-called man? He may not be as kind as the Emily said. What if it turns out to be true? What if because of him all over Equestria will come to an end? Okay, Celi. You're too paranoid and you think the worst. Still, I hope he doesn't turn out to be evil. As they say — wait and see." she thought and raised the sun.

Oooh. What a splitting headache. What a dream I had? Just like live. Fuck, I have to go to a part-time job. I looked at my watch and saw the time — 9:16. I'm not late yet, thank God. Getting out of bed, I dress and eat. To part-time work I riding about 2 hours, so I should have time to get there. Coming out of the entrance, I opened the driver's door of my old Mercedes, which was given to me by my father for my birthday, started the engine and drove off.

Damn, I'm still at a loss — that dream was true or not? It feels like it was the purest truth and my imagination is not playing tricks on me. But on the other hand, it could be a raft of my imagination and I just went crazy. But I hope not, or I'll go even crazier. But won't think about it.

Luna said she'd pick me up tomorrow. She has already come, so if the whole dream is true, then I will finally fulfill my old dream, including other human. Finally I get to see all the mane six, and most importantly – my beloved AJ. I can't wait for this moment! But until this happens, you need to live on Earth a little more. Hold on. Live a little longer and you'll be safe. Soon my whole life will change forever!

"Noooo!!!" not having time to understand what is happening, I flew into the oncoming lane and flew at full speed into the truck.

It was hard, but I did it. Thanks for watching.
