Chapter 1: The Encounter

I know what you all are thinking. 'This is going to be boring and cheesy story because it was inspired by the same story. We know how the story goes. So, don't tell me again'. Yes... Perhaps, it is or not. It was indeed the same story I read and heard from. But this will be a darker tone than you imagine. Let's start with the origin...

My name is Jake Wong. I was born on Malaysia, the united country of Malays, Chinese, Indians and some race that lived in this country since 14th Century and Malaysia's Independence Day.

The 21-years-old Chinese Boy with his black spiky hair dressed in his black Transformers T-Shirt and short pants was typing on his laptop in creating and working on his Fanfiction Stories and even had his Digital Drawing. He looked up and gave a deep sigh of annoyance.

Was I proud of my own country? Here's the honest truth... I was never been proud or cared about my country. I never truly like my home or anything that truly impress or interest me to fight for. Do you know why? It was sucks and stupid ideal and concept I ever seen or heard.

Because of Malaysia's dark history, I became very antisocial-like, serious and never care of what I seen or heard. Everything I saw and heard of... there was no truth but lies. My home may had been freed from British's Grasp and gained both Independence and Freedom, all races in one country stood and united as one. But in reality of my understanding and observation on history and community in Modern Days, we're individual races of our own since the beginning of our Independence Day. The government was full of Malays but corrupted while more crimes continued raging on throughout years. We had never been united, despite some of races work and help each other out...

He read the history books about Malaysia. He looked around of his surrounding as he watched some people of Malaysia argued and bickered at each other. He sometimes watched the news or read newspaper about the Malaysia, which was mostly bad and never been good such as drug addicts, murdering case, education, prisoners and more; despite some good intention like archaeologist findings, students' or people's talents to show and a few more. He huffed and scoffed. He turned the television off or threw the newspaper down.

So everything I saw and heard of... It was all a lie. In Malaysia, we were never truly been together and united as one. We were all in delusions. We were all trapped in dreams of unity. We were all trapped in this stupid ideal of unity. But not me, I was freed from it because... I never believe in it. This country... is the failure and worthless.

Enough of that stupid history. It's just a history that can never change for the right. As for me, I wasn't like anyone. I wasn't very smart, strong or great man because... I have no purpose or idea of what I'm actually doing.

The 7-years-old boy was playing with his elder and younger sister, and sometimes even his cousin in playing some games such as hide-n-seek, Lantern Festival, Playstation2, playing poker games, watching the television and more. He was happy during that time.

When came to school, he was sleeping during the class or trying his best to listen to his teachers. He was full of annoyance, angry and upset before slamming his head on the books hard. While his teachers continued teaching, he took the paper or notebook out and drew the cartoons on it.

From my childhood, I had my great and fun time with my family and friends for holidays and public ones. But that time was gone when I start the school. I never liked going to school and especially going to stupid Chinese School. This is something I don't understand why my parents do it when they know I don't understand or very seldom to speak it. That time was filled with nonsense and stupid because of the homework and studies I had to face. My family never explained to me about it because all I get was scolding and punishing for not studying hard in these studies. But because of different language than English, I failed everything including UPSR.

After that stupid UPSR, I was supposed to have my own Secondary Standard to do. But I have to tell you something about me, I used to be very friendly and childish. But again, like my childhood; it was destroyed and gone by my enemies and bullies from that school.

He suffered lots of problems when he entered Sri Garden for his Secondary Standards. Some students he met smiled gently and comfortably as they showed him around the school. His bag got soaked and wet by the water bottle. They punched on his face very hard. They also made terrible insults and mocks on him. He growled in anger as he punched on their faces and chests very hard and painful. Both him and his bullies fight very hard whenever they tried to bully, make fun of him, tortured and insulting him.

When I first began my Form One, all I want is to make friends. And what I get in return? Bullies! Betrayal! Tortured! But instead of grieve over my loss, I was pleased with it because I know what this world was all about. There was no such thing called Friendship because all they did was leave you behind or take advantage of you. With new gifts I received, I had anger, hatred, rage, tempered and darkness. I cared less for any of my friends I had made. I had one purpose of doing this: passed the exams and doesn't matter if you understand them or not because at the very end, they were meaningless and stupid. And I did.

2006 - 2014 had passed, Jake struggled in studying on his studies in hopes of finishing and completing his homework and exams, and even from both Form 5's SPM and Diploma in Mass Communication from 2012 till 2014's March. It was painful and annoyance for him to handle as he had no heart and caring for what he was doing. None had matters to him. They were none had interest him well since he started his studies from Secondary Standards.

I had taken college because of my family asked me to, not my career. I have no knowledge of what I want or what kind of career I wanted. I just take any job to do, based of what I really can do. I just do it. That's right. All I did was just do it, don't care if there was difficulties or to understand nothing. Because in the very end... it was all for nothing but freedom. Everything changed but my purpose remained the same: just do it...

All my life I had known was betrayal and deception from my stupid country. I believe in nothing. There is no concepts or ideals of unity, friendship or loving because there was no such thing. I have no purpose of living in the Reality. I never care or think about it. But the only people I can trust were my family and those who were kind and okay with me since I started my studies or my job; either Malays, Chinese or Indians. I loved my family so much and especially my father since he understood and helped me very much as I did for him and the rest.

I'm one man not taking easy for resting form what I had or needed to do, despite not showing my true talents to the world. And I hate my own name very much.

Jake watched the cartoon or anime from both televisions and online laptop. He smiled happily as his eyes widened in happiness and smiled sometimes. Some were enjoyable and memorable. Others were pained and saddest.

But be damn sure that there is one part of me had never departed since my childhood: my love and passion for cartoons and anime. Since the day I watched the tapes of live-action films, cartoons, heroes and superheroes; I was both obsessed and respective of them so much. And I even admire their drawings and arts. Even years had passed, my likeness for them lived on and despite studying or working. And of course, I too play the games but lost interested because of time, so I watched them from the online.

Jake typed the stories about Transformers and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, and even drawing some of the characters: fan arts, posters or characters.

And so... I began my drawing on the arts of cartoons and anime, and even I had my own thoughts of writing them down. With Digital Art came to Modern Days, I began to learn and like it as well as getting the proper training of drawing. It went well...

I've been doing that since my childhood. And so far the only shows, movies and series I had interested were Transformers, Lord of the Rings, Kingdom Hearts, G.I. Joe, Dynasty Warriors/Three Kingdoms, Star Wars, Documentary about interested event, histories and movie-making, and more that involved action and adventure from sci-fiction, fantasy and more. But as long as they don't talk garbage; stupid jokes like Simpsons, Family Guy, Regular Show, Chowder, Adventure Time and more garbage funny shows; or making plots upside down like Harry Potter.

In 2004 or 2005, I start reading the fanfiction, but only that connects to the series or something interest me about it like JusSonic's or MewTora17's MLP Stories, Digimon Adventures, Kingdom Hearts Crossover and some more of them that I watched from the TV, Movies and Series. I sometimes loved the best couples that were truly meant to be like Sam-Mikaela from Transformers; Korra-Mako from Legend of Korra; Tai-Sora from Digimon; Ash-Dawn from Pokemon and some more but they were falling down because of directors or animators changed or focused them on some relationships with someone else I think it's not good..

When watching My Little Pony: Friendship if Magic, Nigel watched and seen what Twilight Sparkle had been doing throughout her adventures and journey with her friends and family, and even fighting with her enemies such as Nightmare Moon, Discord, Queen Chrysalis, King Sombra and Tirek. He smiled in impressed and happy in watching the show and the character...

There is one I truly admire, even though I told you before. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was the one I truly admire and especially its characters. There was one I truly admire and loved with so much. Her name was Twilight Sparkle. She maybe the geek for everyone to think of, but deep down: she was so special for greater things because of her kindness, determination, self-sacrificed and love for family and friends.

And I was right till Season Three and Four Finale. She inspired me so much. She was a great pony. But there was something else, I felt connected to her. She reminded me of myself for being lonely and not having time with making friends before Mane Five from Ponyville. And somehow, I really wish I could meet her in person or pony. I truly wish I could meet her...

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

15 September 2014...

It was late evening about 5pm. I was driving my latest car called black KIA Car since my last one was... old and sometimes 'problem'. Upon reaching to his home of Alam Damai, I came out from my car. I was dressed in his long sleeved purple shirt and long black pants since he had his first and permanent job for High N Lubricant Sdn Bhd than temporary jobs like internship for Trifecta Collective and part timer for Popular Book Fest Retail Assistant. And like everyday usual, he came home and take a shower for a while before he dressed in my grayish T-Shirt and navy pajamas pants.

"Hey Gor," The soft yet tomboyish voice spoke. I turned and found my younger sister about 17-years-old came out from her room; dressed in pajamas. My younger sister was Lin. She smiled, "got WhatsAp message from Ah Chi?"

"Yeah, I did," I responded, "She's buying Subway Sandwich for dinner. I got it. We just need to wait for her."

"Yeah..."

It was usually that Ng's Family Maid or Kakak (Malay is for elder sister but Malaysia used the term because they were the maids) cook dinner for all of us. But... she ran away on last Sunday. Damn her. Despite her annoying and nonsense talking and argument, she was a good friend to my family. And somehow, I wish she didn't ran away. But as the Human, we must respect each other's freedom. This is not the master or slave thing.

I turned and headed to downstairs. I headed to my small table as I set my laptop up. After the work was done from my Graphic Designer office, I started or continued my story of Transformers and My Little Pony while at the same time, he was watching the movies, cartoons, animes or stories while

'I usually don't write the stories and post them on internet because... I wasn't sure if there were some people like it or not. But I do know one thing. I had to try. If I want to become the best storywriter or comic-writer, I had to test my skills and get the good results.'

'Ever since I got involved myself in giving suggestion to JusSonic for his MLP Fanfiction Stories, I slowly got myself out from small box in writing my own FanFiction. Not only just 'My Little Pony' for connection to his stories but also writing Transformers Prime Origins and Prequels, and even my own My Little Pony version for nearly a year. I was truly inspired and fired up.'

'And I was proud of myself that they had come true. In Deviantart, I earned JusSonic and his friends' respect for the story connection to his with my most of Mystic Pony Characters. Sometimes, I had some difficulties with VISION-KING about Grimmore being the terrified and powerful villain. I was so pissed off by his rude comments and scolds. Somehow, he just couldn't take it while JusSonic can for his OC.

But in Fanfiction.net, my own My Little Pony Version gained 10 favorites and 9 followers while Transformers Prime I: Rise of the Prime gained 9 favorites and 7 followers. Both My Version of them got some good response and fans to like. I had one follower to like my work. Her name is MewTora17. I don't know her real name, but I'm proud to have a Number One Fan in liking my OC: Shadow Dragon.'

'Either way, I'm just glad that I got some results of how my stories goes. After all, I was almost good and best at writing stories. And even I learned about proper drawing from my art center for both my artwork and out-course learning. Despite the problems from Malaysia, I'm still okay and proud in doing these works through internet. But... I really wish I could make my dream come true. Not only the movies and series I wanted to write and talk about, but also my own..."

BARK! I yelped in shock as he got jumped up from his seat. He heard some dog's barking and growling in anger and rage. I groaned in annoyance.

'Patch again! Patch was my elder sister's pet, and something I really hate it at first when I was a boy. But I cam to respect and like him because I fed him, I pat him and I took him out for the walk, but I didn't like his aggressive attitude when he encountered some troublemakers, dogs or cats. But what can I do? He's just a dog.

So, maybe it was that stupid people, dogs or cats again. They would probably go away while Patch barked at them for two to seven times. So, I ignored him.'

After four times Patch had barked, he continued growling and barking. It was more than seven times than I remembered. That never happen before.

"Gor," My sister called again. I turned and found her coming down the stairs, with her worry and concern looks. She asked, "What's wrong with Patch?"

"I don't know," I answered, "I honestly don't know. But I'll check it up."

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

And, so I did. I exited the house and checked on my family's dog: Patch. He was a white wolf-like dog with brown spot on his back and spiral tail-like. He was growling and glaring at somewhere of my mother's gardens. I went and checked on him as I tried to call and calm him down but he ignore me. When ignoring me, he continued barking at something or someone.

I had my eyes narrowed in anger and annoyance. I really hate his barking. I opened the gate with my keys, just in case. And I even take the pole. So, I went to my mother's garden to check out. As I approached to it, the bushes shaken very hard. I was shaken in fear and worry. Something was in there! And I don't really like it very much!

I was hoping it was that stupid cat to scare off since they're easy to deal with. As I approached to my mother's garden, I was readied to scare the cat off. But instead of scaring, I just went and check on the bush by looking over it. By the time I did, I was in deep shock and surprise. I saw the frightening and scared little lavender unicorn filly with dark navy mane and tail with the strips of purple and red.

"What the-?" I asked in shock and surprise, "Twilight... Sparkle?!"

Twilight looked up as she glanced at me with the sound of whimpering. Her legs and body shaken in fear and worry. I know that look very well. It's the sign and sound of fear. She must have think of me as killer or murderer since I hold the pole. As soon as I put it down gently, I squatted down and looked at her.

I hushed with its gesture of my right hand while showing my little smile, "It's okay, Twilight. You don't have to be afraid of me..."

Twilight continued to whimpered. I can't blame her for not trusting or believing in me about me not hurting her. It's simple really. I wasn't really an animal lover or a happy person. And not to mention, I wasn't much of social person-type. But it didn't mean I can't try.

"Listen to me, Twilight, I'm not going to hurt you. You have to trust me," I said calmly. Twilight remained scared and reluctant. I tried again, with my right hand in front of me with my gentle smile, "I promise you I won't hurt you. You have to try..."

Twilight thought for the moment. Reluctant and feared of what she can do, she looked down with her fears and concerns. I was in shock and upset. She still thought of me a monster. I was about to stand up. I felt something on my hand. I looked on my hand. I was in shock and surprise. It belonged to Twilight Sparkle. Did she...?

I shook my head gently. I gently put my left hand on her tummy. I lifted her up. She shaken her hooves very hard in fear before I gently rocked her on my hands like holding the baby. Not sure if that really works.

A moment had passed, Twilight gently and slowly stopped her struggling as she looked amaze and surprise like she was happy... She smiled gently and looked at me. I smiled back at her. She out her head against my right shoulder. She gently nuzzled on mine. I was shock and surprise. I think she trust me. She must have think me as... a friend. That's good enough.

I felt her body and even her mane. I was in shock and surprise of it, "Wow... This... this is unbelievable... I read some story about it, but I'd never thought it was possible." Twilight looked at me with her surprise and shock looks. I spoke, "It's okay... I'm not going to hurt you. You will be fine and especially with my family."

"GOR!" Lin cried.

Twilight yelped in frightened as had her head pushed underneath my hand before I yelped. I turned to my back. I found my sister came towards me.

Lyn gasped in shock and surprise, "What is that?!"

"It's okay, Lin. It's okay. She's a friend," I calmly said to her. I turned to Twilight, "It's okay, Twilight. That's Lynnette or Lyn if you want to call her. She's my sister and your... new friend..."

Twilight looked at Lin, who smiled at her back. She smiled back as well. Lyn turned to me.

"What... is going on?!" Lin asked me.

I took a deep breath before smiled uneasily, "Crazy dream to have..."

It looks like I'm gonna had some explaining to do. And I had the crazy feeling that my family will be crazy and nuts about it.

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

And so I took her in and meet up with the rest of my family. As soon as they come home back; my father, mother and elder sister were in deep shock and surprise about it. At first they gone a little bit crazy, for the moment had passed they were calm down due to Twilight being scared and frightened by their agony and fears. And so they had manage to calm her down that they were not here to harm her.

As soon as she was convinced, Twilight had calmed down from my family's crazy and worry expression. My older sister, June; gave the Subway Sandwich Tuna, but no meats since horse or pony don't eat them. As Twilight ate the sandwich, my family and I had private discussion. I was glad that she was still young as two-years-old.

My elder sister was June Wong the 24-years-old adult sister with long brown hair dressed in her casual dress: purple T-shirt and short black pants, my mother was Dory Wong in 50s with short brown hair was in her black pajamas suit, and my father Richard the 57-years-old man with bald dressed with blue pajamas shorts. All five of us were discussing and talking about her. I explained about Twilight Sparkle; as who and what she was...

"Nigel, are you sure," Dory asked in worry, "I know that cartoons and movies are just for entertainment but this... this thing... How can you be certain it's real? It's... it's impossible."

"I know it's hard to believe. But it's too real-lah. That's her alright. That's Twilight Sparkle," I explained, "like all of you, how she gets here? That's one thing I want to know."

"Yeah lah... And I thought Looney Tunes can do that," Lin said in surprise.

"So, okay... We know who or what she was, but what are we going to do with her," Richard asked in worry, "I mean... We can hand her over to the government. I don't believe that a unicorn like her could actually exist in this world. It's... It's just impossible. She was folktale."

"No, Papi!" I denied in against the idea. My family turned and looked at me. I spoke, "Don't. She doesn't know much about Malaysia. And I don't think she would like this place very much. And there is no way that the government can control her. She was just a baby like Patch."

"So, you want to keep her here? You can't be serious. I thought you don't like animals so much. Son, you have to grow up. There is no way she can be real."

"No. I'm serious, Papi! Even if she's just a cartoon, I never wanted to leave her outside by herself. After all, you did ask me to take Patch out. So, why can't I? But She can't trust anyone. No way. We are the first family to meet her. And guess what? If she knew how Humans danger, don't you think she would have teleported out before I could capture and bring her here?"

My family thought for the moment. Twilight did had her chance to get out but because unable to recall anything from her life, she chose to stay. They sighed before nodded their heads in agreement with me.

"Thank you, everyone," I spoke calmly.

"Gor... Handling that pony is not easy as handling the dog, you know?" June said in worry.

Richard nodded his head, "Son... are you sure that you can handle this? It's not easy to take care of a pony. She's not like any pets we had before."

"Don't worry, Papi; I will. After all, I did take care of Patch before when he was a puppy. I tried to be nice and care with him but he was too stubborn," I spoke in overconfidence. "And if I have the problem, I will ask, right?"

"Okay. We'll keep and help her," Richard said calmly and firmly, "But you know what you had to do?"

I sighed in annoyance, "I know... I have to take care of her, bath her, feed her and treat her nicely as I did to our pet Patch. I know. I know. I will look after her. Besides, we'll look after her together, right?"

My family looked at each other for the moment before they shrugged in concern.

"Do you know what you had to feed her?" My mother asked in worry, "Horse and ponies like her eats grasses, hays and vegetables. The only vegetables we had is onions and potatoes. And we had some fruits. I guess she can eat those until when we had weekend to buy more vegetables or fruits. And no way she can eat the grass."

"Not necessary," I spoke calmly.

"Why would you say that?" June asked me.

I answered, "In cartoons, they can eat other stuffs like cereal flakes, chocolates, sweets, biscuits and breads, and anything else but as long as it's not meat."

"Maybe..." June said calmly, "But that's just cartoons, what makes you think she can eat those stuffs in reality?"

I smiled as I pointed at Twilight eating her Tuna Sandwich. She smiled as she licked her mouth gently in cleaning it off. She smiled before looking at us. She gave the loud burp. She then smiled with her embarrassing reddish marks on her face, with her shrug.

"Oh..." June said in surprise, "Maybe they do. What happen if she was alone? I don't think Patch would like her very much."

I sighed in annoyance. I forget about that since everyone will be out for the work or school since there was no maid at home. I spoke firmly, "I will try figure something out. And hopefully, it's good one..."

Richard nodded his head, "You'd better hope so. Because when everyone is out, no one can look after her at home. You'd better hope that you had good plan for her to look after herself. And don't forget, son; you might had to tell her the truth about her existence."

"Don't worry, I will," I spoke calmly.

I looked at Twilight, who was indeed confuse and worry as she wondered what was going. I wonder if she could understand a word I had said. The last thing I want was to hurt her badly. I don't want to make that happen. No way...

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

Tomorrow was 16th September and it's Public Holiday because it was Malaysia Day. Most of my family were in sleep about 11pm while I planned to sleep at 12pm as I tried to help and make Twilight more comfortable and getting used to my home. I didn't want her to be scared and being unaware of anything. I can only hope she's smart enough to pull something off. As I show and told her everything of my home, she nodded her head with her looks of amazement and relief. I think she understood well.

I took her up to my bedroom. I had everything clean off, and I helped Twilight to clean hers as well. Even if she was an animal, I didn't want her to be unclean in my home. And of course, I didn't want to leave her out alone with Patch. And the last thing I want was him to pick a wrong fight with her.

As soon as I'm done in helping her, I took her to my bed. I moved the mattress out, which was neared to my drawer. I put it down for her to sleep. And I wasn't sure if she needed the blanket or not. So, I decided to use the tower for her to use, along with my soft pillow.

Before I could get Twilight down to sleep, I heard her sobbing and crying. I looked at her in shock and worry. I squatted down before and checked on her.

"Hey, what's wrong? Are you okay?" I asked in worry.

She sniffed as she nodded her head, "I... I'm fine, sir..."

"Good... You had me worry..." I said in relief. I realized something, "Wait! You can talk?! You understand me?!"

"Yes..."

"Then, do you remember something before I met you?!"

"No... All I remember was... awaken from my sleep on your mother's garden... I don't know how or what cause me to get there. But I... I can't remember much... of anything or my life..."

"It's okay... I know what you meant. I don't blame you of that. But... why are you crying?"

Twilight sniffed in fear and despair, "I'm- I'm sorry. So sorry for putting you in so much troubles of taking me in. I didn't mean to cause troubles. I'm- I'm just so scared and worried about the world I'm going..."

At first I didn't understand what she meant, but I realized that she was referring to my private chatting with my family. She actually knew and understood that. I shook my head, "Look, never mind about that. Listen, you are welcome to stay here. After all, who else would look after the talking purple unicorn?" She thought as she tried to answer. I chuckled a bit, "no one. But you had me and my family. They are okay with you. So, you don't have to worry about it, okay?"

She thought for the moment before she nodded her head, "Okay, sir."

"Don't call me 'sir'. My name is Jake, Twilight- I mean Twiley," I said calmly. I didn't want to her to know the truth yet. The last thing I want... was to shock or scared her off. In JusSonic's Story may had shown that she and her friends no knowledge of it, but I'm not taking that chance. I continued, "I can't tell if you knew your name or not."

"No... I don't"

"That's okay. From now, I'll call you Twiley. Sounds good?"

Twilight thought for the moment before she smiled, "Yeah... It's good, Jake."

"Good... So, let's sleep now. I wouldn't want a little filly like you to wake up late for your first public holiday at Malaysia," I spoke calmly, "and don't worry, I'll try and help you to remember anything you needed to know."

Twilight smiled, "Yeah... Thank you, Jake. You're the good friend..."

I smiled, "If you need anything, ask and everyone will help you out."

Touched and relieved by my calm and sincere words, Twilight smiled and nuzzled on my face gently, "Thank you."

"Come now, let's go to bed," I said.

I was about to get up and put Twilight down on her bed. She grabbed my hand in stopping me. I looked at her as I wondered what she wanted.

"Can- can I sleep with you? I'm scared..." Twilight pleaded.

I thought for the moment. I never had anyone to sleep with me than just my papi. I guess this is the first time to have someone I admire to sleep with me. But... I guess I could try.

I smiled, "Of course, Twiley. I'll let you sleep with me."

I set the pillows up, along with my bolster and blanket. I then put Twilight on my bed first before I came up and slept on. I then put the tower in covering her up. She made herself cozy and comfortable in sleeping. I took one last glance at her. She smiled at me. And I smiled back at her. We both sleep together on my bed.

"Good night, Jake," Twilight smiled gently.

I smiled before I patted on her mane gently, "Good night, Twiley..."

We both sound asleep on our bed. My father, who sometimes had sleeping difficulty to do; woke up and spotted of what we've been doing. He smiled gently and sincerely.

"I think you make a quite good friend and maybe... something that Twilight really wanted, son. Goodnight, Jake and Twilight..."

He then slept on his bed. The relationship between Twilight and her new family had begun, as well as learning more about this cruel world. I wonder if I can help and look after her. I wonder... if she learned the truth, will she forgive and leave me like every story? I just hoped her friends and family understand of what I'm doing. I just had to be a good friend to her. That's all...

To be continued...

Review...

Author's Notes:

1. The history and expression that Jake had is based on my reality history and expression especially my partnership and friendship with JusSonic and the rest of authors in the story was true.

2. Five of them are based on my real family but with different names.

3. Think of them as reality world but in cartoon or anime world. But this is just fanfiction if you get my point much.
