Chapter 3
It’s only been three months since the day I first met the two ponies, but things have seemed to have changed a lot for me. I tried to do some 'research' on how to take care of ponies from the show, but I had very little success. I still don’t know how they got here, but right now, I don’t care anymore. During these few months with them, I’ve come to have enjoyed spending so much time with them. They even like doing some of the same stuff I do. They've really opened me up to hope, joy, and true friendship.

Right now, they’re sitting next to me on one of the living room couches watching The Land Before Time. They've seemed to enjoy that as much as I ever did. They even like watching Pokémon, which I thought was a surprise.

They act like little kids a lot, but they still had their caring, fun-loving, and adventurous personalities, despite the fact of me taking care of them. What I found amazing is that they started learning to talk. I am still in high school and not much of a teacher, but I taught them whatever I learned from my younger years so they could read and talk. I wanted to teach them how to write, but I figured they were still a little young for that.

My older brother found out about the ponies two days after I first found them, but he didn’t seem as surprised as I expected him to be. I explained the story to him, and he must have understood it. Whenever I was busy with something or went camping with my Boy Scout troop, he’d watch over them while I was away. The only problem that I could think of for that option is the fact that he lies on his bed or on the couch watching some anime shows on his laptop a lot. He’ll stop once in a while to eat or do his chores, but he hasn't spent much time doing other things.

I felt bad for leaving the ponies by themselves while I've been gone. So far, my parents haven't found out about them yet, but I know they would find out sooner or later. For now, I just wanted to spend as much time as I can with the ponies so they wouldn't feel so alone.

Chapter 4
It’s now been almost a year that I’ve had Red and April. I still can't believe I've been with them for this long. Things have changed a lot more over that time, for us and my family.

My mother and oldest brother eventually found out about the ponies. I told them my story many times over of how and when I found them. Oddly enough, they seemed to have believed most of the story, even if they were shocked about it at first. My mother even let me keep them in the house as long as I carefully looked after them.

A little while ago, I’ve been thinking about their ages and when they should have their birthdays. According to the biographies I wrote for them, I put Red’s b-day on the same day as mine, which is the sixth day of February, since he’s technically me in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic; and April’s was placed two months after my b-day. So, we celebrated their 6th birthdays.

In early 2015, I found out that the fifth season of My Little Pony finally aired on the new Discovery Family channel. I started watching it on the computer, but then decided to discontinue. I had two reasons for this decision: (1) I didn’t want the ponies to find out about their origin yet; and (2) I've spent so much time with them since I first met them, I don’t have a lot of time to myself anymore.

April and Red are now able to communicate with me well and read good English. They even learned how to write with -- wait for it -- their mouths. I guess that was a natural way for them to write and use stuff. Looks like my research and hard effort in teaching really did pay off.

However, I’ve noticed how, almost every day, they would look at their reflection or outside my bedroom window. That got me thinking about two things: getting them outside for some fresh air and how to teach them pony magic. I have very little experience on how pony magic works, and I wasn’t a pony at all; but I knew I that I somehow had to find a way teach it to them. Plus, they haven’t been outside much since November, but I’m hoping to get them running around soon. I can’t keep them inside the house forever.

Off to the side, I know they’ve gotten really fond of me for the last few months, but I also knew that, somehow, they would have to return to Equestria. Maybe when they learn magic, they could just go “poof”, and they’re gone; or they might leave by some other cause. I hope that will never happen, but I know it will. I just couldn’t figure out when that would be.

Back to the magic, I tried to do some research on pony magic, and oddly enough, I found an article that explained how the ponies on the show supposedly learned magic. I wasn’t sure if it was credible, but I decided to give it a try. We decided to head back down to the creek so we could have some privacy, in an educational way. We’ve been practicing there for a few weeks. I started teaching them how to lift small stuff (cans, bottles, jars, etc.), how to levitate, and how to write with a pencil using magic. They would become extremely tired after pushing themselves to work their own magic, and I knew they would. It took weeks to teach them this difficult ability of theirs; but finally, after all that hard work and effort, they could finally use magic. They were a little exhausted, but they were cheering with joy.

Eventually, my older brother, moved out and found an apartment and a job. The bedroom that we shared was now my own bedroom. I got to thinking about giving my ponies his old bed. It would give them much more space to sleep on compared to sleeping with me on my bed with less space to move around on. They could still sleep with me on my bed in case if they had any more nightmares.

They are pretty smart for young ponies and know the difference between our species, but they still know nothing about where they came from. I just wasn't ready to explain that yet. All I could do now was spend as much time as I could with them and keep them happy to be with someone who cares about them the most.
