- ((You are Jackie))
- >You wake up to find Anon still sleeping
- >Why is Anon still sleeping?
- >Wait! This is perfect!
- >You are going to set out on your journey alone
- >But, what if Anon wakes up?
- >Ah, no matter
- >Even if he does wake up, he’s too scared to go anywhere
- >You carefully wiggle out of bed
- >Anon’s keys… where are Anon’s keys
- >You stuff your face in his pants pocket from yesterday
- >No luck
- >Oh well, your not gonna need them anyway
- >You’ll just knock
- >Just as you are about to walk out the door, you sniff Anon’s pants one more time
- >You awkwardly turn the door knob with your hooves and open the door
- >You shrink down to mouse size again and exit the apartment
- >You rush down the city streets
- >You see a crowd of people walk by
- >You’re not small enough!
- >You need to zip smaller
- >There is a downside though
- >The more you compress, the stupider you get
- >You compress as much as you can without becoming a braindead zombie
- >You are about the size of a keyboard key now
- >You run as fast as you can through the streets
- >This isn’t getting you anywhere. You’re too tiny!
- >You decide to risk jumping in a car wheel
- >You pick a car going in the right direction and jump
- >Oh gawd you just want this to end
- >The wheel going round and round is making you want to puke
- >You see a blue figure running down the sidewalk!
- >Hold up! You jump out of the wheel and faceplant
- >You decompress a little bit and run after the blue figure
- >As you get closer to it, you can see that by no mistake, it’s the pony in the article
- “Hey! Heeeeyy! Over here!”
- >The blue pony stops and looks behind her
- >She briskly trots up to you
- “Hey there!”
- >“Sshh! There’s no time to talk! They’re after me!”
- >You pretty much know what she means
- >You could probably outrun her by a longshot. She is just a filly!
- >You fully unzip and look around
- >“Whao! You’re a big one!”
- “Get on my back!”
- >The small blue filly jumps on your back without hesitation
- “Don’t worry! I have a safe place for you!”
- >You run back to Anon’s apartment as fast as your hooves can carry you, trying to take as many side-streets or alleyways as possible
- >You finally arrive
- “Just stay quiet!” You caution the filly as you slide her off your back
- >You bang on Anon’s door as hard as you can
- >The door swings open in less than a second
- >“Jackie! Oh my god I thought I lost you!”
- >Anon grabs you and hugs you tightly
- >“Aaannddd company?!” He sounded confused and excited
- >You shuffle the blue filly in and close the door
- “I guess I have some explaining to do.”
- >You and Anon sit down in the living room
- >You motion for the filly to follow
- “So tell us about yourself!”
- >You could tell that Anon was as excited as you were
- >“Well, my name is Winnie! But my owner called me ‘Eight’ I am a software pony like you, uh, Jackie.”
- >It was then that you noticed the windows 8 symbol on her flank
- >“Well, nice to meet you Winnie!
- “Wait, previous owner?”
- >“I’m gonna go get everyone a cup of coffee.” Anon said as he walked out of the room
- “So you had a previous owner?”
- >“Yes but… He seemed so unwilling, and something… happened.”
- “Oh?”
- >Anon came back with three cups of coffee
- >He was already drinking his
- “What happened Winnie?”
- >“I would really rather not talk about it.”
- “Oh come on! We are pretty much the only people in the world you can trust now.”
- >“Okay… if you really want to know… MY OWNER CUT HIS DICK OFF AND I GOT FREAKED OUT AND RAN AWAY!”
- >Anon spewed his coffee everywhere
- >Winnie started to cry a bit
- >“There wasn’t anyone following you right?!” Anon said nervously
- “Don’t worry, we were careful.”
- >Anon looked stressed, but really excited
- “You okay Anon?”
- >“I- I don’t know. A lot is happening. It’s happening way too fast.”
- “We can work out a plan.”
