((You are Jackie))


>You wake up to find Anon still sleeping
>Why is Anon still sleeping?
>Wait! This is perfect!
>You are going to set out on your journey alone
>But, what if Anon wakes up?
>Ah, no matter
>Even if he does wake up, he’s too scared to go anywhere
>You carefully wiggle out of bed
>Anon’s keys… where are Anon’s keys
>You stuff your face in his pants pocket from yesterday
>No luck
>Oh well, your not gonna need them anyway
>You’ll just knock
>Just as you are about to walk out the door, you sniff Anon’s pants one more time
>You awkwardly turn the door knob with your hooves and open the door
>You shrink down to mouse size again and exit the apartment
>You rush down the city streets
>You see a crowd of people walk by
>You’re not small enough!
>You need to zip smaller
>There is a downside though
>The more you compress, the stupider you get
>You compress as much as you can without becoming a braindead zombie
>You are about the size of a keyboard key now
>You run as fast as you can through the streets
>This isn’t getting you anywhere. You’re too tiny!
>You decide to risk jumping in a car wheel
>You pick a car going in the right direction and jump
>Oh gawd you just want this to end
>The wheel going round and round is making you want to puke
>You see a blue figure running down the sidewalk!
>Hold up! You jump out of the wheel and faceplant
>You decompress a little bit and run after the blue figure
>As you get closer to it, you can see that by no mistake, it’s the pony in the article
“Hey! Heeeeyy! Over here!”
>The blue pony stops and looks behind her
>She briskly trots up to you
“Hey there!”
>“Sshh! There’s no time to talk! They’re after me!”
>You pretty much know what she means 
>You could probably outrun her by a longshot. She is just a filly!
>You fully unzip and look around
>“Whao! You’re a big one!”
“Get on my back!”
>The small blue filly jumps on your back without hesitation
“Don’t worry! I have a safe place for you!”
>You run back to Anon’s apartment as fast as your hooves can carry you, trying to take as many side-streets or alleyways as possible
>You finally arrive 
“Just stay quiet!” You caution the filly as you slide her off your back
>You bang on Anon’s door as hard as you can
>The door swings open in less than a second
>“Jackie! Oh my god I thought I lost you!”
>Anon grabs you and hugs you tightly
>“Aaannddd company?!” He sounded confused and excited
>You shuffle the blue filly in and close the door
“I guess I have some explaining to do.” 
>You and Anon sit down in the living room
>You motion for the filly to follow
“So tell us about yourself!”
>You could tell that Anon was as excited as you were
>“Well, my name is Winnie! But my owner called me ‘Eight’ I am a software pony like you, uh, Jackie.”
>It was then that you noticed the windows 8 symbol on her flank
>“Well, nice to meet you Winnie! 
“Wait, previous owner?”
>“I’m gonna go get everyone a cup of coffee.” Anon said as he walked out of the room
“So you had a previous owner?”
>“Yes but… He seemed so unwilling, and something… happened.”
“Oh?”
>Anon came back with three cups of coffee
>He was already drinking his
“What happened Winnie?”
>“I would really rather not talk about it.” 
“Oh come on! We are pretty much the only people in the world you can trust now.”
>“Okay… if you really want to know… MY OWNER CUT HIS DICK OFF AND I GOT FREAKED OUT AND RAN AWAY!”
>Anon spewed his coffee everywhere
>Winnie started to cry a bit
>“There wasn’t anyone following you right?!” Anon said nervously
“Don’t worry, we were careful.”
>Anon looked stressed, but really excited
“You okay Anon?”
>“I- I don’t know. A lot is happening. It’s happening way too fast.”
“We can work out a plan.”
