Former Princess Celestia of Equestria leaves an encouraging and comforting note for you.

The release of Equestria Online and the incredible capabilities of its central Celestia AI led to ferocious debates among ethicists, computer science experts, every religious community on the globe, and more besides.

In hindsight, I probably should've been paying more attention to the news. In my defense, I was reading a lot of fan fiction at the time.

You and Pipp have something special. She just gets you in a way nopony else does, and vice versa.

Bad days are nothing new for the two of you. You've seen worse, and heck, you've braved every storm that came your way together, just as you've always done in the past. Side-by-side.

One glum afternoon at your place, you begin to wonder why. But little did you know that one harmless interaction could lead to more than you would have ever bargained for...

***UNDER CONSTRUCTION***
STORY IS CURRENTLY BEING REWRITTEN

It was all gone, like a snap of the fingers. I was ripped away from my world, victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Thankfully I was saved from the call, as it nearly ended my life, by something completely alien. Ponies, now in their world, it seems I’m doomed to inhabit the new land, while I wait for my chance to leave. With only my belongings, and memories, I am forced to rebuild my shattered old life, into something better, with my new, fuzzy friends. After all, how hard could it be?

Warning: Some scenes are not portrayed as true as they actually are, remember, fiction, so not everything that happens would happen in real life.

I would like to thank Twilight Best Pony for helping me fine tune my story, along with supporting me through the long road that is this pile of words.

Born and raised in Canterlot, I'm a unicorn of high prestige. But, my mother shuns me despite not letting me go for the pegusi blood in my veins. She calls me the family embarrassment for my too fluffy fur, slightly unmatching colors, not long enough horn, and my ridiculous cutie mark. I try to escape, but it seems that she's everywhere, tightening the metaphorical leash on me. Can I make it out? Or am I doomed to have permanent wing envy?

A horrible self-insert brings his pony waifu to Thanksgiving dinner.

I don't remember much about my life as a human, only a throbbing pain in my chest, where my heart would've been. Now I find myself in a world of magical talking ponies and in a cybernetic robotic body with a dangerous hidden program.

I must find a way to control this program and make new friends as requested by my mentor and monarch. But who would want to be friends with a drone with a powerful program and has no memories of her old life?

I know I wouldn't...

Lyra, Bon Bon, and myself are having fun at a park, working on a short film, when we get incessantly buzzed around by a wasp that just won't go away. Not seeing any other way out of it, we try to shoo away the insect, and despite taking "precautions", as we tried to call them, the insect prevails and uses its well-known tactic on one of us. Ah, instincts.

(Story told from my perspective)

I wrote this story because the depiction of me in it contains realistic problems with me. Seeing one of my loved ones get stung is something that I could easily get nightmares about; even the thought of it bothers me. And I do harbor animosity towards these insects for using that power. I know, self-defense and all, but it's upsetting, isn't it? Yes. We don't want to see people get hurt, especially not when they're close to us, and it's only natural we'd be mad at the perpetrator.

I also wanted to write this because it's something that can easily happen to you in real life despite clear guidelines on how to avoid it. We've all heard "don't swat at wasps, that provokes them.", and that's true. But let's be honest, most of us probably have swatted at stinging insects, because that's we do automatically. It's instinct. Or, as happens in this story, the insect just keeps hanging around you and you don't feel like you can wait anymore. So it's here for that too.
