(Deal with it.>(??_?)   Wishful Thinking   Chapter 1   >Sleeping peacefully on the living room floor suddenly a kick at your side. >"Yo, James, you gonna gotto the campus today?" >It's one of your college roommates seeing if your gonna be there. "Oh shit..yeah man just give me a second." >You get off your bag of clothes you call a bed and head to the bathroom slip on some deodorant and get out. >You didn't care, the clothes you slept in were fairly clean, jeans and polo shirt was good enough to last 3 or 4 days. >You grab your bag and deck box put on your hoody that just had the old english letter "J" and head out with him. >Your roommate claimed that a friend was gonna give you two a lift to the campus,good you hate walking anyways, too time consuming. >You knew this guy, you were good friends with him but he still has that high school mentality where all he wants to talk about is banging chicks and jokes that objectify women the whole "what if" questions. >Not that you mind it. Hell it's kind of funny but it seemed he had no off switch.   >You arrive at the campus you get out and him and the roommate are still talking. >"Yeah man she had some big ass fucking titties I was like DAMN." >Typical conversation week in week out. >Nothing new. >You're a bit of a card game fan, you play Magic the Gathering, YGO, a bit of Vanguard. >In fact card games are more popular among your circle of friends, gamers, nerds, hackers, anime and hentai lovers. >Techno lovin' anime convention attendin' badassess. >Loving everything from Invader Zim to Supernatural. >This was a regular day for you, you had nothing better to do. No job, no money, damn near a college dropout, warrant out for your arrest for insurance and registration, owe banks more than a shiny penny and no personal cell phone except a nokia that you use for a calculator. >Your rent is already paid for thanks to your sweet but venomous grandmother 9 months of rent paid for might as well goof off. >You guess it's a way for making up for those times she's been a bitter bitch.   >Fast forward a few hours some of your friends hanging out at the crash lounge area dueling playing persona 4 others watching Hellsing Ultimate and what have you. >Another friend of yours pulls out her laptop to get some music playing. >You don't really see her often hardly weekly, but nonetheless she goes to YouTube and plays breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. >You never really cared about her matter of fact you can't even stand the mainstream. They all sold their soul to Satan anyways. >But as you listen you can't help but fade out of reality, you remember when you had a car, the good times. >Back when you was a stoner going to Cane's high as fuck and pigging out. >When you had a girlfriend. Back before you became a fan of card games you were just mostly a gamer. >You had your own apartment. If you wanted pizza rolls you were walking distance from a Neighborhood Walmart you'd buy the 90 count. >You'd had been in a drug dealer's house to just chill for crying out loud. >Back when you had a cell phone that was in service You was cool as fuck, a bit of a ladies man even, not to brag. >What the fuck happened? You have been spinning your wheels doing nothing long enough.   >"Yo James, is the summon good?" your friend asked. >You snap back to your painful reality. "What? yeah man I scoop." >"Really? Dude you're still at 8000 lp you sure you want to give up?" "Yeah...I'ma head home." >"Need a lift man?" "No thanks, I'll walk." >You put up your deck grabbed your bag and hoody and headed out. >On your walk you can't help but wonder why you don't give a fuck about life. >You don't want to live, but you don't really want to die. You turned 21 last month. >Oh God Frangelico and Vodka, sliced lemons and a bowl of sugar was your best friend. >You still have so much to live for. You want what you use to have. >Too much shit to think about too sad. >However the only thing that would cheer you up is thought of the Mane 6. >For the longest time of your life you couldn't stand them, you found them annoying. Seeing the title "My Little Pony" would fuel your rage. That is until 3 months ago   3 months ago   >You still goofing off doing nothing productive except looking up YGO rulings on cards. >You head to the campus one day and you see one of your girl who's a friend she's what you would call "funsized" she so cute, pretty chill too. >She's no stoner but damn cool as fuck. She's on her laptop watching a show you hate with a passion you don't know what all the buzz was about. >Her name was Del, she sees you "Hey James what's up man? got class?" "Pff no, just here to chill what are doing here? I hardly ever see you around." >"Oh nothing just watching some ponies." she said as she giggled. >Apparently she had the torrent for the first season. "Oh God that show? really? How is it even popular? It's stupid." >"Did you even watch the show?" "No, I don't need to.." >"Come on, just 4 episode the first 4 pleeeaase?" >She never really let you down or astray when she said something was awesome it usually is. >But My Little Pony? Well at least give her a chance. >"They'd give you a chance James." >Speaking as if they existed then she continues. >"Besides, ponies are awesome." "Alright fine." >As you watch the first two episode you can't help but think how sappy it is. >Some crisis with Princess Luna actin' cray-cray. >The theme song doesn't really help either so...girly. >The next 2 episodes to your surprise you find kind of funny and random. >You haven't really learned the Mane 6 names yet you kind of liked the yellow and pink simply because of the fact that she's the color of your favorite starburst flavors, but she's so beta. >You think they're adorable you hate it a little less. Del closes out the player and asks >"You want the rest of the episodes?" "Nah,I'll be fine." >"Alright if you say so."   >A week passes by you don't even think twice about the show. >You show up at the campus you see your friend Del again listening to some dubstep. >You're already a fan of it, though some songs can be complete trash. >You asks if she can put some songs on your 8 gig flash drive she agrees. >About 14 minutes later she hands you your flash drive. >Must have been a lot t of songs. >You chill with her for a couple of hours talking. No pony talk of any kind comes up. >She claims she's got to head home before traffic turns into "tra-FUCK". >The day goes on like any other. 10:00 pm rolls around you and your friends head go their separate ways.   >When you get home you stick in your flash drive into your computer to drag and drop the songs but instead you find a folder named "PONIES!!!!!!111one", you kind of chuckle. >But sad you didn't get the songs. "Damn you Del." >You click on the folder and it's every episode of the first season of "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" with a little text file from her saying >"Just give them a chance you'll thank me for this, I Pinkie Promise". >You don't want to be rude so you just put the episodes into a folder and name it "Watch If Bored" on your computer. >And what the fuck is a "Pinkie promise"? >You might watch them if you have nothing better to do. >The show might be sappy but damn it was funny. You enjoy comedy so for the love of comedy you keep the episodes.   >A month and a half goes by and your roommates are out for the weekend, them visiting parents, except you. >In a 2 bedroom apartment with 3 other roommates it doesn't really get crowded 2 of them have their own rooms and you and other guy has the living room it's big enough for the both of you so no complaints. >The only thing that bothers you is when you're trying to sleep while your roommate is playing Dark Souls on his big screen tv at 5 in the morning. >Internet access and no one around. >You get one idea, visit 4chan. You usually go to /b/ or /gif/ you never really visited /mlp/ when if first came about didn't pay much attention to it. >All you wanted was to laugh at funny shit and fap to some awesome porn, you wasn't a bad person you just enjoyed what any other person enjoyed. >A weekend to yourself yeah that's gonna be nice. >Netflix and 40 bucks your dad gave you when he visited 2 days prior to the weekend.   >Friday noon you wake up started watching How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural and Burn Notice on and off about midnight. >You decide to visit /gif/ you don't have a porn folder and you don't really need one and just when you clicked on the first image of a redhead thread the internet goes kaput. "Great what am I gonna do now?" >You decide to start going through your documents to see what you should clean out then your run into that folder of ponies "Watch If Bored". >You might as well watch it what's the harm? That last episode you watched wasn't bad just had some really sappy parts that made you cringe a bit. >You decided to start where you left off. >The fifth episode you got so mad when that griffon made Fluttershy cry you without even realizing it you say out loud . "Gilda you dare make her Fluttershy cry?! She can't even defend herself you heartless fuck!! What the fuck did she do to you?!" >As if you were there it almost seemed...wut? >One episode turns to 3, 3 turns to 10. >Before you know it's 10 in the morning. >Almost sad that you had to sleep but you had to. You crash on your bag of clothes that you call a bed.   >Wake up and it' 4 in the afternoon you get up run back to your computer the internet was back on but you wanted to finish the season. >You didn't care too much about the musical numbers some catchy others you wish they can just shut the fuck up. >You finish the season wondering if the Cutie Mark Crusaders will ever get their cutie marks. >You feel bad if you choose your favorite pony of the Mane 6. You done something you never thought possible. >You fell in love with the show, with the characters. You really seem to like Fluttershy, she's so damn kind. >And you can say Applejack was a close, DAMN close second so honest and hardworking...Those eyes...Damn you'd be a sucker for those eyes.   Present day   >On your walk back home from the campus thinking about wanting more in life. >You had a good life. >But you seemed to be going nowhere fast. >You wish you was in a better place. As you walked, you fantasize about living in Ponyville. >Then you snap back to reality "UGH IF ONLY!!" >You just want out of this time wasting loop. >It was a bit cold outside but you kept walking and pondering. >Then before you know it, you're back apartment. >You open the door and no one is there. >That's to be expected since you left so early. >You lived in the safer part of the city so leaving a door unlocked wasn't all bad. >You go to the kitchen and fire up the coffee pot and begin to make coffee. >Before the coffee is even ready, you pour a lot of cream and sugar and some cool water in a cup and mix it a little. >That way when you pour in the coffee it won't be as hot. >You log on your computer was going to continue writing a fanfic about an insane Applejack and her other personalities. >You visit /mlp/ often you enjoy the Flutterrape threads and the fanfics, the clop shit. >God ponies are so adorable, yet sexy...Why boner? Why is that? >Even before you go to sleep you tulpa force a little you haven't made much progress, but the thought of a sexy antro Fluttershy cuddling with you at night really excites you. >Patience is the key... Sadly. >Just before you continue writing you go to YouTube and go to your "dat weird mix of awesome" playlist and begin listening to a 10 hour Song of Storms from Legend of Zelda. >You don't know why. You never really was a huge Zelda fan but you just found the tune catchy you don't know why. >You suppose it's because you feel like your life is in a eternal shitstorm.   >You start writing then you say out loud with a depressed sigh. "If only Equestria actually exists." >Then you hear a girl-like voice from outside your head. >"It does silly ha ha." >Kind of sounded like Pinkie Pie. "Dafuq? I must be going crazy." >You stop typing and head to kitchen to check on the coffee and it's ready. >You pour your cup and head back to the computer before you begin to type you notice an address that you never typed right where you stop typing. "What the fuck? I didn't type this." >You recognize the address and it turns out it's not far from here it's about a 10 minute walk. "Eh fuck it I got nothing better to do with my time." >You take a sip of coffee then look at the screen again something else was typed as you watch the screen. >"We'll be waiting for you, James ^_^." >You freak the fuck out spilled some of the coffee on your crotch your kind of glad the coffee was cool down first. "No...not possible...There's gotta be a virus." >You then receive a text message from your phone that doesn't even have service, it's been off for months not a damn signal you just use it for a calculator and notes. >The text message reads >"but you run linux silly, nice hoody by the way" >No number was displayed instead it was '^_^' in place of where a phone number should be.   >Someone knows how to hack. >You think this is either an elaborate prank or your mind is playing games. >You go to the kitchen and toss out the coffee. You hear the voice again. >"Awww, why waste coffee?" >You trip out even more you can't believe this, you go to the bathroom and take a look in the mirror and you notice your hoody's front graphic changed. >Instead of an old english 'J' it gets replaced with a '^_^'. >How is this possible? >You was wearing it all day. >You get another text message from your phone saying >"We're waiting James ya coming?" >You're convinced. >You type a text message saying "yeah be there in a few" and try to send it, but the phone claims there's no service so it doesn't go through. >You save your fanfic, take your phone charger and head out to the address. >As you're on your way there, you can't help but wonder if this was your way out of this shitty lifestyle you have. >This might be your chance to start anew. >You get to the address and it's just an empty little bakery with a "for lease" sign. >You look at the door handle and notice a ribbon pink with a button pin on it you look at the button pin it has the face of Pinkie Pie, suddenly, the door opens. >It opened on it's own. >..... >You walk in nothing but dry wall. >You notice there's a sign at a door where you would think employee personnel would go instead it's saying "Welcome" and there was light beaming at the bottom of the door. >You reach for the door and open it and get blinded by the light. You close your eyes the light was way too bright then you hear the voices of The Mane 6 >"Oh my Celestia it's him! EEP!", >"He's cuter than Ah imagined! Ain't he a looker?"   >You open your eyes you recognize this place. >SugarCube Corner. >You see The Elements of Harmony standing before you smiling ear to ear. >You wipe your eyes to make sure you're not dreaming. >You look behind you to find the door you walked through is gone. >Fluttershy walks up to and stands on her hind legs and hugs you so tightly. >Yep this is real alright. She let's go and you faint from shock. >"Oh dear, I hope I didn't hug him too tightly."   End of Chapter 1
