Life Lock (discontinued)

>"Miss Dash, don't forget your meeting with the press at 3:25."

Thanks Sherry, I guess i better take my lunch break now.

>Sherry walks out of your office and goes off to do her job.

>You are Rainbow Dash, and you are a writer.

>You always liked stories, even writing them.

>You remember back in the day when you would spend most of your time just writing fanfictions about Daring Doo.

>Gosh, you used to be such the athlete too back then.

>Look at you now, a 27 year old writer at "Best Sellers", a writing agency.

>You take off your glasses and begin to remember your school life.

>You take out a picture from under your desk of you and all of your friends.

>You speak to them every no and then, but they are all so busy all the time.

>Applejack's running her family's farm AND a fruit company.

>Pinkie has her own line of pastries.

>Rarity is an ACTUAL fashionista.

>Fluttershy runs a animal shelter.

>Heck, even Sunset is the town's mayor.

>You keep up with all them though.

>Wait...

>You don't keep up with all of them...

>You look at the picture again to find a person you missed.

>Norman.

>How could you forget Norman?

>He was always the talk of the school... even if it wasn't always good talk.

>How do you not have his number?

>Maybe i should try googling him and see if we could meet up at some poi-

>"Miss Dash, it's already 2:55, are you sure you're going to have time to eat?"

Oh darn it, i went full astronaut again huh? Oh well, i need some of that turkey sandwich i packed right now!

>You take out your sandwich and eat while having yourself a brainstorm about your book.

>You've made it a series, and you are trying to make this one the last book.

>The problem is that you can't seem to think ahead in this one like you did the others.

>Weird.

>OH CRAP, NO TIME TO THINK, ONLY EAT!

-----------------

 

>"Rainbow, it's been said that your fictional action and adventure novel, "Life Lock", is actually based off your life a little bit, is that true?" asks a member of the press.

Yes actually, i got the inspiration from my life with my friends.

>"So you DID fight a demon?" laughes a reporter.

>You nervously laugh.

>"Miss Dash, it seems your Highschool Reunion is coming up soon, will you be attending?" asks someone.

Oh my, a reunion? I was not aware.

>"It's scheduled to be in 3 weeks from now on friday."

Well then, i'm going to need to set that date. Thank you for telling me this.

>Your assistant takes your shoulder and nods.

That seems to be all the time i have for this interview. I hope that all the questions i answered helped you.

>You follow your assistant Sherrill off the stand and into her car.

>"I've never seen a writer who actually gives that many hints at her story as you do."

Well it's not nice to not say anything.

>"Usually the line is "if you dont have anything nice to say, you shouldn't say anything.", right?"

I guess, but i had nice things to say.

>She snorts while driving off to the office.

A reunion. I didn't know.

>"You kidding? I sent you an email!"

Oh you know i rarely check that thing.

>"You sure like to check your fan site though."

Heheheh...

>Old habits die hard.

>"So... ARE you going?"

I really would like to. Lets hope something big doesn't pop up. I'd really like to see my friends.

>You look out the window as the buildings pass you by.

>You begin thinking of scenes for your book.

>"Oh, while we still get a chance to talk, the boss said something about your book being a movie."

Oh hell to the no.

>Your assistant cracks up.

That better have been a joke Sherrill.

>"It was, it was. Settle down." she says wiping away a tear.

I'll get you back for scaring me like that. I'm not letting ANYONE make a movie about my book.

>"Why not?"

Haven't you ever heard anyone say "i think the book was better"?

>"Oh, good point. Well i'm sure there's some director out there who could make your movie the way YOU'D like to see it."

But that's the thing Sherry... it's not about the way i see it, it's about the way others see it.

>You smile as you both finally make it to the office.

>"Do you want me to just drop you next to your car Rainbow?"

No thanks, i'd like to get something form my office.

>"See you next week Rainbow."

Have a nice weekend Sherry.

>"We still up for girls night out?"

>You sigh.

I said that we'd see about that.

>"Pfff... stick. In. The. Mud."

Oh just get outta here already.

>She drives out of there while you head up to your office.

>When you get inside, you take the picture you have of you and your friends with you.

-------------------

 

>Skype is a great thing, it's like a free phone... WITH FREE CALLING!

>You are quick to jump on it after you get into your bed clothes.

>You try and start a call with all your friends.

>Slowly but surly, they all get on and you can see their faces.

Hay girls. Did any of you know about the school reunion 3 weeks from now?

>"Why dahling, you didn't know about it?" says Rarity.

I uh... didn't check my email.

>"Classic Dash." says Sunset.

>"So sugarcube, why'd you want the skype call?" asks Applejack.

I just... i dunno. I wanted to see you guys NOW is all.

>"Awwww, that's sweet! Oh Dash, in the next novel, you should make my character have god like powers." says Pinkie.

We've been over this, making a character over powered doesn't make them cool.

>You see Pinkie pout on screen.

Another thing i wanted to talk to you all about was Norman.

>They all perk up.

>"You've heard from him?" asks Fluttershy.

No, i wanted to see if you guys knew his infor or something. I can't find anything related to him on google.

>"Norman's been off our radar since graduation Dash." says Sunset sitting back down.

>"It's like he... neeeever exiiiisteeed!" says Pinkie wiggling her fingers.

That's so weird, you'd think he'd at least have a facebook of some kind...

>"Maybe he doesn't want to be found." says Fluttershy.

>"That's just preposterous, Norman was very social in schoo- NO NOT IN THE DINING ROOM, I SAID LIVING ROOM! Excuse me everyone, i'm getting a painting put up in my home." says rarity signing out.

>"I agree with Rarity. Maybe Norman just didn't think he needed social media." says Applejack chomping on an apple.

Well, if anything, he should still have his old skype. I mean, i still have it right he-

>"No, i've tried that." says Fluttershy.

Sunset, is he even still in town?

>"How should i know? I don't have a list of every citizen in- oh wait i do have a list... let me go get that." she says running off.

>"It seems you're really interested in Norman, huh Rainbow?" asks Pinkie while she winks.

I would just like to know how all my friends are doing is all.

>"Pfff, yeah right Dash. You had a big crush on Norman. Remember that story you made about him and th-"

Oh shut up, that was years ago.

>Everyone starts giggling.

>Sunset comes back into view.

>"Well, i'm looking under N's, and he's right here... but strangely his address isn't listed." she says cupping her chin.

>You all sigh.

Well, at least there's a chance we'll all get to see him 3 weeks from now.

>"Hay... isn't Twilight gonna be able to come in 3 weeks from now?" asks Applejack.

>"Yes. It's been 3 years since her last visit. Just in time for the reunion too." says Sunset.

>"Well girls, i'm about to head off to bed. I'll see you all in 3 weeks." says Applejack.

Yeah, same here. Night guys.

>You all tell each other good night and sign off skype.

>Once your head hits the pillow on your bed, you basically fall asleep right then and there.

>You're always having dreams about your story.

>But... this dream doesn't feel like it should.

>You're in a dark cave.

>You keep walking deeper and deeper into it.

>You finally come to a large space full of black looking crystals and a chained up man in the center.

>The man looks up.

>"Rainbow... Dash?"

N-norman?! What happened?

>"You can't be here... too much danger."

Where is this place?

>"I can't tell you. Too much-"

Is this about something magical?! Norman you have to tell me!

>"I'm... in... Elderworld."

Y-you can't mean my book Norman. That's just silly.

>"Book... i... there's no time, you have to wake up."

>You begin hearing a roaring sound.

>"WAKE UP!"

>You lift yourself up on your bed in a cold sweat.

>He's in your book?

>That doesn't make any sense!

>Well... things stopped having to make sense when Twilight showed up.

>Magic, demons, other dimensions...

>Maybe Norman really is in danger.

>Maybe he needs help!

>Maybe he's in your book!

>...

>But that part doesn't make any sense... You didn't write Norman in your story, not like you did with your other friends.

>But even then, they are more like supporting roles to the main character.

>Plus those caves have never been mentioned before.

>You've never thought of those caves before.

>You look at your clock.

>It's already 11:00 AM.

>Twilight should be arriving today, i need to see her about this...
