Love And Tolerate
Chapter 2: Knowledge Is Key
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"HUT!" I heard those words and started running as fast as I could for the end zone. The defensive line were doing great and somehow managed to not allow the other team to sack the quarterback. Butch, my best friend, was the quarterback and I was the wide receiver. I ran while looking back and noticed that the ball had already been thrown. Damn, I thought. I had already run to far. Maybe if I stopped...sure enough, the ball came straight towards me. I caught it and continued running. To the thirty, to the twenty, to the ten, I, COULD, GO, ALL, THE, WAY! The other team was right at my tail. Only 5 more yards to go. I had to make this last stretch count. I dived straight for the end zone and I realized my eyes were now closed. I opened them slowly to see where I was. I wasn't passed the 0 yard line. However, the football itself was across. I did it. Touchdown.
I heard the crowd cheering and I managed to get up. The rest of the team had caught up to me now and were giving me high fives. "Nice work there, James." Butch told me. "Thanks." I replied as I walked back. Our team got ready for the extra point and it was good. I'm so glad I got that touchdown or the game would have gone into overtime and they would have had a chance of winning. We won 7-0. My team was chanting my name over and over. I liked being recognized but maybe a little too much attention for my taste? Either way, it felt good to win and have fun at the same time I was doing so.
Soon afterward, I got home and got on the computer. I was gonna look up some game highlights from yesterday's game. I missed it while I was at detention at school. I heard my ringtone from my cell. It was Butch. He said "dude, u HAVE 2 c this!" followed by a link to a video on YouTube. Naturally, I clicked on it. It was a Know Your Meme video. I had seen some of there other videos talking about memes. But, wait, what was this? The name of the video was "Know Your Meme: My Little Pony". I texted him back. "lolwut?" I said. Almost immediately, he replied "JUST WATCH IT". I let out a big sigh and clicked play.
"War. War never changes. It's been almost a year since their first attack. We thought they were powerless. We were wrong. When they hit, they hit us hard. We tried to fight back but it was too late. Over time, the numbers grew exponentially. Like some unknown force, they were unstoppable." he had started saying. The main guy of Know Your Meme that is. By this point, I was very interested in what was coming. And naturally, I got trolled and turned out he was playing with My Little Pony dolls. Then he started talking about how there were teenagers and adult watching this show. MALE teenagers and adults. Called Bronies. "What the hell was wrong with these people?" I thought to myself. Soon, I got another text message but I decided to wait until the video was done.
Really now? Ponychan knocking off of 4chan? This was getting a bit extreme..."It is prophecised that one great Brony will unite the heard and usher in a new era of love and tolerance to the entire web." he said. Ok, this video was clearly a bunch of crap. And soon California Gurls by Katy Perry. Except this was different. And horrible. Apparently, the pink pony from the show, who they called Pinkie Pie, sung a version called Equestria Girls and they even made a shoutout to the Bronies. Lame. Soon, they performed a little experiment that was pretty freaking awesome. Purely for the reason that there was dubstep in the background. Dub. Step.
The video ended and I looked at my text. Again, it was Butch. "o god this is worse" he said with another YouTube link. Why was he showing me all these pony videos! I guess just for a good laugh. I clicked on the link and it brought me to a video that said "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic – You Got to Share, You Got to Care". I'm sure this would be a doozy. The piano started and that same Pinkie Pie pony looked out of the curtains. "We may be divided. But all of you I beg." Pinkie Pie started singing. Good lord it was even worse than I thought it would be. And then she started bouncing. Of course. I felt horrible just for watching that monstrosity. Luckily, it wasn't that long. Only about a minute and a half and it ended.
Now it was my turn to text. "those 2 were possibly the worst 2 videos on YouTube or anywhere that i have ever seen in my life" I said. He texted back "IKR!" Those videos truly were so unbelievably stupid. That song was SO dumb. Who would actually watch this show? I thought those Bronies were just a bunch of crap. Well, tomorrow would be another day at school. I texted him again "mayb i'll SHARE my day with all my wonderful and magical friends at school tomorrow?" and all he said was "LOL". I knew we would have a great time talking about this the next day.
