  1. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LatorN4P9aA plays on the radio as you drive down the road, windows down.
  2. >It’s your twenty third year of life and you are just the same as you’ve been for years.
  3. >You wake up, you go to work, and you go home, finishing off the night with the usual of fapping, internet, vidya, and more internet.
  4. >You try and manage a smile as you plow down the old dirt road, bumps tossing your car around.
  5. >This was one of those old roads that are often deserted, so you took it to and from work to avoid traffic.
  6. >And since you worked late usually, you enjoyed that it was pretty devoid of light pollution from the city whenever you were driving home.
  7. >Lost in thought, listening to your favorite song after a hard day at an annoying and lackluster job with the wind in your hair, you fail to notice the deer in the middle of the road.
  8. >At the very last second, you hit the brakes and try to swerve off road but it’s too late.
  9. >Poor deer was all you could think as you flip your car over, landing in a ditch and blacking out.
  10. >Hours pass, and eventually you manage to regain consciousness.
  11. >Good thing I was wearing my seatbelt, you mutter aloud as every inch of your body is wracked with pain.
  12. >You pat yourself around. Nothing seems broken. Well, except for your car.
  13. >First things first, call for help.
  14. >You reach into your pocket and…nothing.
  15. >You left it at work…again.
  16. >Panic begins to set in, but you somehow manage a reality check, and try to assess the situation.
  17. >Aside from your ceiling caving in a little, you can still manage to get the door open with a little force.
  18. >You look to the deer first, but it seemed to be missing. Huh.
  19. >The front of your car is smashed in pretty bad, but the engine isn’t on fire or anything. That’s good.
  20. >What is not good is that you really have no idea where you are, and no way to contact anyone.
  21. >Fuck.
  22. Part II
  23. >Fuckfuckfuck, you scream as you pound on your smashed up car.
  24. >It had served you well, even if it was a piece of shit.
  25. >Panicking, you start rummaging through the glovebox. Maybe I had a map somewhere?
  26. >Nope.
  27. >You slump down in the ditch, tears starting to stream down your face.
  28. >This was your greatest fear, honestly. Being alone, stranded.
  29. >You look to the sky, thinking about all of the friends who’ll miss you when you die out here. And your parents. Oh god.
  30. >You don’t try to hold back. Who’s going to hear you? No one ever comes down this damned road.
  31. >The tears are flowing freely now, and all you can see is dry grassland speckled with trees in front of you, barely illuminated by the moon.
  32. >You look into the starry sky, one of the only places you could find solace.
  33. >Fucking hell. You goddamned idiot. What the fuck am I supposed to do now?
  34. >For what seems like hours, you stare at the sky. On a guess, you’d have to say you’ve been stranded here for at least a couple hours, and your addled mind struggles to stay awake.
  35. >Defeated, you mutter to yourself “Someone…please help me”, as everything fades to black again.
  36. >Images flash around inside your head as you drift off. Colors swirling and distorting.
  37. >Then it all flashes white, and you spring awake.
  38. >It’s much darker now. You guess you’ve not been out for long.
  39. >The moon continues to shine it’s lonely light…but wait a second, why is it full now? And so close?
  40. >You rub your eyes wearily, wiping the old tears away. Sure enough.
  41. >Well shit, I’m not dreaming. How late is it?
  42. >You try to stand, placing a hand backwards to brace yourself against your poor vehicle.
  43. >And you promptly fall backwards.
  44. >What.
  45. >Panicking, you look around. No car in sight. No road in sight. What the fuck?
  46. >Come on Anon...think...you're much too handsome to just die in some random woods.
  47. >Mustering up your what's left of your energy, you manage to your feet, your body still wracked with soreness from the wreck.
  48. >The moon illuminates the landscape just barely, and you can make out trees in the distance.
  49. >The rest of the grasslands is just that...flat and grassy.
  50. >”Where in the hell am I?”
  51. >Deciding to just pick a direction and run with it, you walk slowly toward the woods
  52. >The trees around you seem oddly shaped, but you're no tree expert. And who knows, you're probably hallucinating anyway.
  53. >Continuing on through the woods you finally see a little dirt pathway. Must be a camping trail.
  54. >Well, that means there’s civilization somewhere close. Paths don’t make themselves.
  55. >In the distance, all you see is dense wood. Looking down, the path seems addled with what you determine to be hoofprints, albeit they seem a little small.
  56. >”Oh, so it’s a horse trail. That’s…good?”
  57. >”You try to think…where are horses around here? I don’t remember seeing any ranches or anything nearby…”
  58. >Eventually your tired legs carry you to what looks like a small cottage.
  59. >Upon further inspection you see it’s riddled with birdhouses, small trees…even its own little bubbling brook.
  60. >“Something out of a fairytale.” you think aloud.
  61. >Yawning, you sigh a bit. This will be your bed for the night, for what good that does to your over-stressed mind.
  62. >You spy a small housing to the side, littered with a bit of straw.
  63. >Shivering, you crawl inside, and sleep takes you again.
  64. >”Oh my…what are you?”
  65. >Sunlight attacks your eyes. Critical hit!
  66. >You groggily open your eyes to a small creature looking down at you.
  67. >Too tired to panic, you close your eyes again, but you feel it nudging you slightly.
  68. >”Oh come now, I know you’re tired little one, but aren’t you hungry?” the voice says quietly. A girl?
  69. >You want to say no, but your stomach betrays you.
  70. >Finally you open your eyes and stretch, your feet and hands rapping against the small shed’s walls.
  71. >And THEN you panic.
  72. Part 4
  73. >”Oh don’t be scared! I won’t hurt you!”
  74. >It’s body was a pale yellow color, with a flowing pink ribbon of hair to one side. Innocent baby blue eyes looked down on you, smiling.
  75. “I…where am I?” You manage to stammer.
  76. >”Why, silly, you’re in Equestria! And you can speak! How wonderful! Come, I’ve just started to feed the other animals. Let’s get you some food.”
  77. >She turns around, and begins to walk away. You notice she has wings, and a tail much like the hair on top of her head; pink and ribbony.
  78. >Then it hits you. She’s a horse…no…she’s too small to be a horse. Maybe she’s just a pony? And what the hell is Equestria? And why can she talk.
  79. >All of this thinking only makes your head hurt more. You blindly decide to crawl out of the shed and follow her.
  80. >The sunlight hits you like a truck. Squinting, you manage a glimpse of the landscape and the colors floor you.
  81. >The trees are a vibrant green, birds flapping and tweeting around you in pastel colors with their beaks seemingly smiling.
  82. >Everything is pastel, bright, and happy. The little horse trots up to a bag and pours a small amount of feed on the floor with her mouth, the happy birds and other assorted Snow-White-esque creatures gobbling it with gusto.
  83. “What is going on. Where the hell am I.”
  84. >Oops, thinking to yourself was never easy for you.
  85. >The pony looks to you and cowers slightly.
  86. P5
  87. >Standing at around six foot tall, you tower over the small creature. You weren’t built, and you had grown a little pudgy from being a computer potato, but you didn’t look too awful.
  88. >But you were scaring the poor thing, so you kneel down onto one knee. She was harmless, after all.
  89. “I have no idea where I am, I don’t know what you are, and my head feels like it’s about to explode…but I promise that I won’t hurt you.”
  90. >You finish that last part with your hand over your heart. Ever the dramatic one.
  91. >She seems to take the hint, and smiles a little.
  92. >”Well, I’m a pony, and this is my cottage,” she says, gesturing to the ridiculous structure behind her. “You don’t look like any animal I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot of animals.”
  93. >She holds out a…hoof. “I’m Fluttershy. Do you have a name?”
  94. >Instinctively you grab her hoof and shake it, but apparently you don’t know your own strength.
  95. >She wobbles with each shake, and you let go almost immediately.
  96. >She stumbles forward, and with a laugh you grab her by the shoulders and stabilize her.
  97. “My name is Anonymous,” you say in a quiet a sultry voice, locking eyes with her “But you can call me Anon.”
  98. You’ve just met this pony and you’re already hitting on her. Awesome job self.
  99. >You can already see the rosiness in her cheeks as she backs away, and you chuckle to yourself.
  100. >”O..okay Anon. Let…let’s get you something to eat. Then may…maybe we can figure out the rest.”
  101. >She uneasily leads you to her cottage, where a seemingly angry looking bunny is in the doorway.
  102. >”Angel, why aren’t you eating? I made you your special breakfast salad and everything.”
  103. >The rabbit glowers at her until he sees you towering behind her. He scurries off into the cottage.
  104. >”Angel wait! He’s friendly!” she coos as she charges into the house.
  105. >Leaving you in the doorway to a house that looks like a crazy cat ladies’ dream.
  106. >Animal housings and paraphernalia don the walls and floors, with the occasional chair, table, or couch here and there to keep up the illusion of “house”.
  107. >Having to kneel to fit through the door, it’s actually a little roomier on the inside.
  108. >Wings. Pegasus. Right.
  109. Er…Fluttershy? You ask, the name sounding unbelievable to your tired brain.
  110. >Suddenly crashing and banging noises are heard in the adjoining room, and you rush to help.
  111. >Fluttershy is sitting on the floor next to an open window, a bowl of salad turned over on to her head.
