I got up and started heading out the office. I told the nurse that I was feeling much better now, which in part was true. I didn't have a headache or feel sick, just very bruised. My next few classes were full of kids just staring at me but I tried ignoring them. Surprisingly, noone tried attacking me after school and I managed to get back home. I watched more reruns of pony episodes that I had already seen. I had already seen them all. I definitely was in the need for a high does of ponies. They seemed to take all the worries off of me. With my pain and the comfort from the ponies, I fell asleep on my bed.

My alarm woke me up the next morning and I got ready for school. Once there, Butch was the first one to greet me. "Hey man! Cool prank yesterday wasn't it? Did it snap you out of being gay?" he asked. My first instincts were to love and tolerate him. Jesse's words echoed in my head. "At what point do you become a part of those problems when you choose to love and tolerate the intolerable?" I heard her say inside of my head. I was suddenly filled with rage and I pushed him so hard he hit the wall.

"Hey! What happened to love and tolerate!" Butch yelled. "I was wrong." I said. "Loving and tolerating is a good thing. But bad things can come out of it if you choose to over do it. Peace is good, but if you go beyond peace it just becomes plain ignorant. Take this." I said grabbing out a My Little Pony trading card out of my pocket. I threw it at him like a ninja star. I had glued it to a plastic cover to make sure he wouldn't just rip it in half. He started at me and then stared at the card. It was a Twilight Sparkle card. I could tell he wanted to just throw it away but he then put it in his pocket instead. Inside, I knew that I had just done the right thing. I had many more inside my pocket.

Last night, I was talking to Jesse and we came up with an idea. We called it, The Bronification Project. We would tell and explain to everyone we could about the Brony society and how it was growing bigger and bigger. We also explained how good they are for society itself. How peace, through loving and tolerating (to a certain extent of course) is what the Bronies are made up of. We brought many trading cards with us to school and were going to give one to every single kid in our entire school. It would cost money and time, sure, but it was worth it. An effort we could make for the betterment of the people. Watching ponies was one thing. But doing the things Bronies do is another. People could be like a Brony without watching the show. They could choose as they pleased. We gathered as many cards as we could and started passing them out.

The rest was history. About a year later, Butch came up to me to tell me that he had become a Brony. He searched up the fanbase after studying the card I gave him on the internet. I had a feeling others did the same. More and more kids at school became Bronies. We were all seeing the same message. Ponies or not. What we wanted was more peace and less ignorance. As it grew and grew, different kids that we would have never in a million years expected to become a Brony, became a Brony. More than half of the school was a Brony community where we could all love and tolerate each other. Our plan had worked. Not everyone was become a Brony but, hey, what can you do? Even if we had just changed a few student's lives for the better, that was enough.

Even those who considered themselves to be Bronies but didn't actually watched the show were helping out with The Bronification Project. Soon they were watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic themselves. Jes and I were happy that we could spread the Brony love with our school. It took a while but I eventually forgave Butch for what he did. I never continued to be his friend, even when he begged me to forgive (which he actually did!) him. I knew he was sincere but what he did was inexcusable. However, I wasn't holding him accountable for anything more than what he did. So yes, I accepted his apology and moved on with my life.

More and more Bronies came to be. It was summer time and all we could think about was when the next My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic season was coming out. I never truly found out why we liked the show. Was it the ponies themselves? Was it the love and tolerate message it gave? Was it a sense of hope that people felt from the show? I didn't think I would ever get an answer. I don't think it was one particular thing. It was something, well, magical! And together, as a community of Bronies who cared for each other, we knew, that to a right extent, we would be able to abide by that one rule consisting of three words. Love and Tolerate, everypony. Love and Tolerate.
