WARNING WARNING: This project has been reshared from about six years ago, when I decided to unshare all ALODs parts. Despite being a parody, like the warning describes, it is still plenty edgy and weird. Reader beware! _________________________________________________________ WARNING: This is really edgy despite being a parody. You've been warned I guess. _________________________________________________________ A Life of Depression Tears streamed down Starlight Glimmer’s cheeks. “Why...?” she wandered out loud. “Why would a stupid thing like a kangaroo separate you from your best friends?” The tears flowed out from Starlight Glimmer like an anime fan on prom night. "Why...?" Starlight Glimmer sat down on her chair . She turned to her laptop, and started memeing. “Why would Starburst...of all ponies...do this to his best friend?” Starlight thought. She tried choking back some more dankness that came. It hurt to hold back memes. It felt like an IP ban from Imgur in her heart that she could not bare. She felt the sides of her head hurting, and drying up dat boi on her cheeks. She rarely used dank memes--in fact, she almost forgot how it felt to dank meme-- and she hated with a cold, bitter passion. This was the time of redemption, where no life wa- wait, what? Starlight was a memelord who went on 4chan, a character in a fanfiction, and nothing more. A mere joke for people to laugh at. Eventually, Starlight arose from her tear-soaked laptop. She wiped her last tears from her eyes, and took a deep breath. She wanted to keep memeing, she really did, but her spirit was out of memes to give. It made her soul hurt. Starlight silently hopped off of her laptop and slowly walked over to her dresser. She looked into the mirror. All she saw was her. After everything, it was still her. Her face was red from memeing. It hurt. This joke, it hurt her. Her pigtails had turned into snakes. ...she didn’t feel like herself. The next morning, Starlight stood outside of her house, waiting for Sunburst. It was her habit. Every morning, this same act would follow. Over and over. However, Sunburst didn't exist. Nothing did. All that followed was the path to school. So, she walked. That was the great thing about the reality she used to live in. No meme jokes, no hopelessness. It was great. Now? She was stuck here, maybe forever. For not understanding the consequences of her actions. After waiting outside her door for thirty minutes, Starlight grumbled. “Ugh, why is he so late?” she exclaimed. Then she remembered. The Codes sent him away. Without even saying goodbye, or even smile at her since that day...they just left her. Starlight closed her eyes and let the overused jokes come. She sniffled, then started making her way towards school. “SUBJECT 31, WHERE IS YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER?” Starlight looked up at the thing. She tried narrowing her eyes to hide that she has been crying instead of finding a partner and doing work with them. The thing patiently waited for a response. Starlight had no reply. The thing edited it's protocol. “SUBJECT, BECAUSE OF A LACK OF YOUR DISTINCT OTHER, I REQUEST YOU DO THE WORK ON YOUR OWN OR FIND SOMEONE WHO CARES TO WORK WITH YOU.” then it walked away to help a pair of colts. Starlight sank into her chair. "I hate this world.” she thought. That meant that no one cared. Not even those things. Starlight tried to hold it back, but this caused more memes to come flowing down. “Lifeless incompotent thing.” she muttered a little louder then she meant to. Starlight could feel her teacher turn back to her. “SUBJECT, WAS THAT A DIRECT INSULT?” she said loud, so everyone could hear. Starlight looked around at all of the eyes darting to her exact spot. All subjects had the look that they give you when you get in trouble at school. Starlight blushed in embarrassment and sunk down onto her desk, trying to hide from all of the eyes. It stomped over. “SUBJECT, REPEAT WHAT YOU JUST SAID OR THERE WILL BE IMMEDIATE ACTION TAKEN."
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic belongs to Hasbro, and Lauren Faust. All characters and places belong to them. Original project by Pinky 102368. Glorious Morning - Waterflame Starlight flinched at the mention of taking immediate action. In this world, it could get you sent to the place that shall not be named. "U-uh...." Starlight mumbled. "SO? WHAT WAS IT. TELL ME, NOW." It screamed. "I CALLED YOU A LIFELESS INCOMPETENT THING!" she blurted. Every subject in the room gasped, one teacher's pet fainted. You don't call them bad names, it means serious trouble for you. It started slowly growing and getting bigger. It clenched it's spiked teeth together--The worst way for a Code to hide it's wrath and fury (Yes, they're called codes. Got a more original name?) "W-WELL.... THANK YOU FOR BEING HONEST, SUBJECT. BUT I STILL MUST SEND THIS TO OUR OVERMASTER." It said with grinding blades. It wrote a quick complaint letter and then threw it at another Code, which walked off to the Overmaster. The Code then turned it's back to walk away, but then received a new database message. "THERE IS ANOTHER SUBJECT WHO HAS FALLEN IN COMING TODAY. THEY WILL BE YOUR PARTNER IN THIS PROJECT." Informed the code, and then walked off. Starlight just nodded. After lunch, the new student came in. Something here was off, though. It was wearing a green hoodie, and revealing almost nothing except for it's blue eyes. Starlight immediately recognized this as a Changeling, but the whole "class" didn't seem to notice/care. He walked over to Starlight's desk, and Starlight introduced herself. He didn't talk at all, figuring that she didn't notice, but then saw the look in her eyes. "Oh, hi. Yeah, we'll become best friends, I guess?..." he said quietly. Starlight was shocked at the mention of "best friends." her past friends had said this to her, but they had all left with no warning or goodbye. Starlight just sat down, since it was time to work on the project anyways. "So, uh, I hear you're good at math?" he said. Starlight just nodded. "Yeah, never been too good at it. When you spend all your time in a hive, you never really-- Oh, did you get my name?" "No." said Starlight. "Well, I don't think it really matters. Just call me whatever, I never really had a name, and the author of this can't think of one." "Alright." she plainly muttered. Starlight turned to her sheet. She saw all the problems, plain and simple. But she couldn't do any of them without Sunburst popping into her head. She felt like crying again... "You alright?" said the nameless student. Starlight looked over, did this one care? "Y-Yeah, I'm alright." she said. For some reason, she couldn't cry...? "Kid, I know how it feels losing a friend. This alternate reality is painful, but, hey. Maybe one day, we can travel back." Starlight was shocked at this reply. For some reason, she remembered sobbing quietly and then losing another friend. The day went on like normal, and Starlight walked the linear road back to her house. She got home and then flopped onto her bed. Realizing she'd probably lose this friend, too. But she didn't. Even after a few months, he stayed. Starlight's grades finally began to rise again. Of course, not a lot of ponies seemed to care. But she felt finally happy. But then, something happened. Something so dreadful and awful that you're left on a cliffhanger, waiting for a possible part two. -le end xppppppppppppppppppppp-
