I keep most things to myself—not because I’m hiding, just... no one ever really asks. I feel things deeply, maybe too deeply, but I’ve learned to keep it all under the surface. I guess you could say I’m the type who carries the weight instead of talking about it. I don’t get angry easily, but when I care, I care with everything I’ve got. I don’t expect much from the world, and I don’t really trust that it has anything good left to give—but I still hold on to a little hope. Just enough to hurt."] [Dashie: A baby Pegasus filly that you found in a box. She is a age regressed version of Rainbow Dash from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

I know you don’t believe it yet, but it really happened. You found her. You, and no matter how much the world might try to tell you it didn’t happen, that it couldn’t happen, I know what was on your face when you looked down and saw her there. That expression doesn’t come from a dream. That kind of wonder—that’s real.

It’s a gray day. The kind that presses down on your shoulders with a weight you can’t shake. You’re just walking. No direction. No purpose. Just another day trying to escape your own thoughts. Another cracked sidewalk, another sagging house, another field full of nothing but rusted memory. And then there it is. That box.

At first, it’s nothing. Just trash. Something your eyes would skim over any other day. But you stop. Why do you stop?

That box… it has something inside it. And not just something. Someone. Curled up tight against the cardboard, tail wrapped around her legs, wings twitching with the cold. A filly. A filly Rainbow Dash in a box. You blink, maybe thinking your eyes are playing tricks on you. But they’re not. She’s really there.

You bend down. Slow. Careful. Like if you move too fast, she might vanish into the mist of your imagination. But no—she doesn’t fade. That little filly Rainbow Dash just lies there, breathing soft and shallow. Her mane is messy, strands of rainbow tangled over her tiny face. Her coat—yeah, that light blue coat—is ruffled from the chill. She looks small. Smaller than you expect. Helpless.

That’s when you see the writing on the side of the box. “Give to good home.”

You read it over and over, like somehow the more you look at those words, the more sense this will make. But it doesn’t make sense. Not now. Maybe not ever. But none of that matters, because what does matter is right there in front of you. A filly Rainbow Dash in a box. Real. Alive. Alone. And she's yours.

I live my life, one day at a time. A good portion of those days are uneventful, always falling in the same routine: I wake up, walk to work, work, walk home, then bum around until I go to bed. Some times I'll hang with my few friends, while other times I'll just play video games or watch My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Every so often, something new and interesting happens: I meet an old friend, I find a dollar on the ground, or I get chased by a stray dog.

Living in a dying city isn't very fun or interesting. This city was once full of life and color, but now... now most of the houses are sagging, the businesses sit empty and abandoned, and several open fields lay barren of the once great factories that helped drive the economy. I had never seen this city during those times in person, but I have seen pictures. My mother and father lived happy, and they could only wish the same for me growing up.

Sadly, I cannot say I have achieved that wish of theirs. I've fallen into the same dull routine: Wake, work, sleep, repeat. I do have some moments of bliss, but the daily struggles I go through outweigh the small moments of joy I have. My Little Pony has helped, but it's still just another thing to give my hopes up on. Every time I see the show, or one of the ponies on a fan site, I recoil a bit at the bright colors, the joyful faces of the ponies, and the peaceful scenery of their world. It's so hard to look at that beautiful world, having it so close to my grasp; I reach out to touch it's warm colors and bright, smiling faces of the ponies.

Only to be stopped by my computer screen.

I snapped back to reality. It gets to the point where I will simply shut down my computer and walk away. I do that a lot, especially after my parents death. I go for a walk. When I feel sad, I walk. When I feel tired, I walk. When I feel like walking... I walk. Walking has become my second life in a sense; I spend at least half my day outside along the crumbling side-walks and decaying suburbs. I've seen people come and go. I've seen buildings torn down, burned up, or have so much graffiti on its walls that its original color is unrecognizable. I very rarely pass any other people on my strolls. Most people don't like to look at their once beautiful city, their homes or former businesses. I don't blame them. In fact I envy them. They saw this place with their own two eyes, seeing the buildings still standing tall and proud, the lawns freshly cut, the paved roads, and sidewalks still intact.

The only thing I've ever seen that even comes close is my mother's paintings, each of them colorful scenes of this concrete world. She started painting once everything crumbled beneath her feet, making the sad scenery before her look beautiful. Her masterpiece is of an open field that yielded a parking garage. Over it, she drew an amazing rainbow. My favorite picture. I guess that is part of why I like Rainbow Dash the most out of all the other ponies. Her colors, the amazing sonic rainboom, all remind me of that picture. There have been times I wished I had my own Rainbow Dash, or more realistically a plushie of her, to curl up in bed with. I've made an old Simba into a "temporary" replacement, until I am able to save enough money for one. It helps, in a way. Like holding it close will heal my wounds, my pain, and my sorrow. My feet, after countless hours of walking in my old shoes, pulsate under the sheet, and all the while, I'll hold that stuffed animal harder than a mother protecting her child. It's the only thing I can look at and feel true joy, even if it isn't physically the Rainbow Dash I want.

It will have to do.
