Love And Tolerate
Chapter 3: The Invasion
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe next day at school, I came walking in. I couldn't wait to talk to him about those dumb Bronies. I still didn't understand how they could actually watch and enjoy such a stupid show like My Little Pony. Instead of finding Butch, I found my girlfriend Jesse. I was gonna walk up to her and act all smooth. But that's when I saw what she was wearing. It had a picture of a pony on it. It had a paper on it's head and it's hands. Or hooves I guess since that's what a horse's hands are called. And it stated "Derpy Is Best Pony", whatever that meant.
"Hey Jes, what's with the shirt?" I said walking up to her. "What, you haven't heard of a Brony?" she said. "Oh dear god, don't tell me your a Brony?" I asked. "Why yes I am. Specifically a Pegasister. That's the female version of a Brony." she replied and I just gave her a "WHY!" face and walked in the direction of where I now saw Butch. "Hey Butch, get a load of this!" I said dragging him in the direction of Jesse. I pointed at her shirt and he burst out laughing but Jesse just rolled her eyes. "Look. At the end of school, you are watching an episode of My Little Pony with me."
"Pssht, yeah, like that would happen." I said. She didn't respond and just stared at me. As if she was giving me the evil eye. The three of us just stayed there for about a minute of silence and then finally Butch leaned into my ear and said "Good luck, bro.". I let out a big sigh and conceded. I knew there wouldn't be any way to get out of this so I might as well just agree to watch than to continue arguing. "Very well." I said followed by Jesse smiling and walking to her class.
After the few hours left in school, I walked to Jesse's home with her and she made me sit on her bed, right in front of the television. She grabbed her remote and went to the on demand section. Under "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic", there was a list of many episodes. She went to the bottom and clicked on the last one that was titled "Friendship is Magic". I figured it to be the first episode. She played it.
"Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria, there were two regal sisters who ruled together and created harmony for all the land." the narrator started saying. I was about at the point of crying of how unbelievably horrible this was. Why would Jesse want me to watch this? Why would anybody watch this in the first place! I got ten minutes through and I thought I was about to pass out. A pony flew straight into Twilight Sparkle. I was ashamed to even know her name...what I was even more ashamed of was that I actually let out a little smile when Rainbow Dash laughed out loud when she messed with Twilight's hair. Still, almost all of it was pretty boring.
Finally, after twenty minutes, something interesting happened. Nightmare Moon appeared. Even though every single part of me was saying to stop watching this crap, something about Nightmare Moon seemed pretty cool to me. The episode left in a cliffhanger so I allowed Jesse to play part 2. 7 minutes through part 2 and I was regretting that decision ever so much. Pinkie Pie's "Giggle At The Ghosties" was a bit too much stupidity. First "You Gotta Share, You Gotta Care" and now this. I really wasn't a fan of Pinkie's. I expected something cheezy to happen at the end. I really doubted they would just kill someone. And I was right. They reverted Nightmare Moon into a much less cool looking pony who they called Princess Luna and was the sister of Princess Celestia. Twilight stayed, everyone cheered, Pinkie Pie did, whatever she does... and the episode ended.
I didn't enjoy the two part episode AT ALL, however, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting either. Instead of learning educational crap, it was more of an adventure. Still, it was ponies. Ponies were for girls. Right? Jesse asked me if I liked it so I didn't lie. "It wasn't all stupid like I expected but I still didn't really like it." I said. "Well at least you tried it." she said. We said goodbye and then I headed for my home. I had a lot to think about.
