>Be Normal Norman
>Highschool is over
>No more homework, no more bullying
>No more magic madness
>After everyone got their degrees, Sunset and purple went away to Starswirl's Proffesional Academy
>AJ went to business college thanks to a schoolarship, Rainbow went to join the NASA, Brad joined Air Force, yellow is studying wild life in Africa with her mentor Zecora, Pinkie went to California with her short and temperamental boyfriend, and Rarity went to NYC to open a boutique
>As for you, you went back to Philadelphia
>You don't feel like grabbing books now, you just want to get some normality
>You are working in a carshop, nothing too fancy or too brainy
>One day, a black dodge charger stops for a transmition check
>The guy who brought it has been eyeing you for a long time
>"Hey kid"
"Yes sir?"
>"Done with my car already?"
"Yeah, the transmition is ok. Kinda weird, these classic cars tend to break easily due to keeping them stock, but every piece has been very well mantained. It's almost-"
>"Magical"
>You turn quickly to him
>The way he pronounced that word was very strange, like if he knew something about special about the car
>"Well, if you are done and the car is still moving we will keep talking"
>He takes his keys out, and starts the car
>The car ignites as usual
>"Perfect job kid. If you ever want to get a better garage to work with, give me a call, but fast. The spot won't be free for long"
>He gives you a card, pays for the service, and goes away
>You check the car: B.O.I. - Destiny Road 1
>The numbers and adress are from Canterlot City
>You aren't so sure, you left the town a year ago

>Then again, Canterlot City isn't that bad
>Seeing normal colored people was calming, but it got boring after a while
"Mr. Bill, can I use the phone?"
>"Sure thing kid. In the office"
>Going to your boss's office, you still wonder why that man has been looking at you
>A few twirls in the old classic black phone, you hear someone picking up
>"Hello, welcome to B.O.I."
"Yeah, well, my name is Norman and one of your guys-"
>"Gave you a card. Take your boss' car and comeback Normal Norman, we need you for testing"
"Wait, how do you-"
>"And don't call again. This number doesn't exists anymore"
>The call ends abruptly. You dial again, but phone services say the number doesn't exist
>When you leave the office, your boss hands you his car keys and some money
"Whoa! Wait Mr. Bill, why do you give me this?"
>"Someone came and told me to do it. Good luck in your last job"
"Last job?"
>He goes into his office. When you followed him and open the door, there's no one there
"Okay, I think I made a big mistake"
>With nowhere else to go, you take the car and drive back to Canterlot City

>Canterlot City! the city with streets named after stars, life metaphores, and horse puns
>You drive all the way to Destiny Road
>The road is the most strange: it's mostly plain fields, yet there are small landmarks with numbers
>At the end of the road there's an old farm. almost abandoned
>The only thing you manage to see is a litted window
>You leave your car and go inside the barn
>You would knock, but there's no door
"Hello? Helloooooo..... Hello?"
>"Who's talking?"
>There's a man with a lamp sitting next to the window
>He must be the one keeping it lit
"Um.... Somebody gave me a card. He told me to come here"
>"Back of the barn, in the horse stable"
>You were really skeptic to do this, but nothing in this city makes sense for starters
>You can go to a pizzeria that serves fried chicken, a golf course where you have a rally race, or even a train station can be used for satanic raves
>Good thing Rarity and you didn't went because purple wanted to have a sleepover
>You never saw green again though. Only his fedora was found there
>You reach the stables where some men are inside each horse cell
>There's one with your name
>You enter, and a voice is heard from somewhere
>"Gentlemen, you have been selected for one job. The most important job in your lifes. We selected the best proffesionals: from high ranked militars and black market henchmen and contractors, to survivors of the most dangerous events in this city"
>"We have been watching each one of you, and now you will be tested a last time: no fights, no fetch quests, no quizzes. Only a written test, a physical, and an eye exam. good luck"
>Finished that sentence, the floor under everyone opens up and all fall
"FUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKKK!!!!!!"

>You fall for 10 seconds before you see the floor
>There's no chance to survive the fall, so you only close your eyes and scream
"GODDAMMIT BOI!!!"
>Expecting death, something strange happened
>For a moment, you felt more light and flutter down until you reach the ground
>When you are back on your feet, you see a door
>Inside the underground building all the men in the stable are there with a man in a black suit
>"You are the last one, not a good feeling about that"
>The room has some chairs and desks. The man in a suit makes a wave, and everyone sits down.
>"This is part one, the test is on your desk. You have 30 minutes"
>After he says that, he goes to another room
>On the table there's the test and one pencil
>Everyone are on their own now

>Well, some guys aren't as happy to do this test
>May as well ask
>You go close to a guy with a simple leather jacket and blue jeans
"Hey man, do you know what are we doing?"
>He just shrugs his shoulders
>You go to the next: a hawaiian shirt and black trousers
"Any idea what do these guys want?"
>"Yo no hablo ingles. Los Zetas hablan español"
>You don't get too much spanish, but all the world knows the Zeta Cartel
>One finishes and just waits
>Looks like Captain America
"Excuse me sir, do you know why we were selected?"
>"I'm afraid not mate, those shady gents aren't much of social ettiquete. They just came to my platoon and selected me"
>Brit. So they go worldwide
>You stand up, go to the other door and knock twice
>A man opens it
>"You are wasting time"
"Sorry, I just wanted to know why we were picked up and the benefits and that stuff"
>"You were selected. Basis only"
"Ok. What about beneficts?"
>"Insurance, healthcare, dental plan, can drive the car's company. Finish your test"
>He closes the door and you go back to your seat
>While you couldn't answer much of the questions, something caught your eye
>Most questions looked like the things purple used to tell you about Equestria
>The agent returns and takes all the exams
>"Alright everyone, to the next test"
>He guides everyone to some sort of gym ground
>"You will finish this course. At the end there's guns with real ammunition, so be ready for the next course"
>All of you line up and wait for the sign
>"Ready, set, GO!"
>All of you run to the obstacles, monkey bars, and mini bridges
>The Queen's knight ends second. The first was an asian guy all dressed in black
>You end 4th. Mr. jacket managed to finish the monkey bars faster than you
>Mexico didn't had too much luck. he was a little out of shape

>When everyone is together, a plate with glocks rises and an alarm sounds
>The wall in front of you goes down, and lots of monsters and targets appear
>Everyone takes a gun and start shooting
>Except you
>You have been around guns thanks to hanging out with Nolan, but you never used one
>Let alone the alarm and the shooting sounds made you freeze on spot
>What are you going to do?!
>No! Come on Norman, get your shit together!
>No time to think! It's now or never!
>You grab one of the guns and check the barrel
>It's fully loaded
>You try to aim, but your hands are getting really shaky and sweaty
>You walk a bit to the front, but you can't keep looking between the alarm and the shooting
>You close your eyes, twist your head, and pull the trigger
>*BANG!*

>"¡¡¡AHHHHH!!! ¡HIJO DE LA CHINGADA! ¡¡¡MI CULO, AHHHHH!!!"
>The poor mexican falls onto his butt and starts rolling grabbing his ass
>The alarm stops and everyone is looking right at you
>Your hands are locked, keeping the trigger back
>Some personnel went to help the mexican and the agent takes the gun off your hands
>"We will have a pause until our cadet recovers. If you could follow me please"
>The guys and you go to a waiting room. In there everyone judges you
J: Why did you shoot that mexican up his ass?!
"I-I-I-I don't know! I got scared and-"
B: Maybe you shouldn't have come here lad. This place ain't a schoolyard, you know?
"Aggghh, I'm sorry. It's just I never used a gun and-"
>The japanese says something in, well, japanese
"I don't know what you said to me, but I bet it was something really bad"
>He nods
>The agent comes back
>"Do not be afraid, the man will recover. Now, for formality, we will run an eye exam. Please follow me"
>While everyone walks out the room, the agent stops you
>"You wait here"
>He takes all the men outside, and you are all alone

>You sit and wait for your punishment
>A while later, one agent comes back and slap your ass
>"Good game"
"Hey! What was that for?!"
>"It was a playful thing. I though you will like it after your friend saved your butt"
>He removes his hat and glasses: it's Nolan!
"No way! You work with these guys?"
>"More like for them. They recruited me 6 months ago and I though I could have more fun with one of my friends here"
"Even though I shot a mexican up his ass?"
>"We always knew you were racist since highschool man"
"I'm a melting pot of friendship, not a goddamn racist"
>"Whatever. Congrats on joining BOI"
"What about the eye exam?"
>"It's a setup: these guys can delete memories. I'm still trying to learn to use the memory stone"
"Wait, so I joined a bunch of secret agents to deal with magic shit?! I left Canterlot because of that!"
>"I know, but your tests so far shows that you are the man that knows how to deal with these events. And you were Twilight's best friend"
>You are a little nervous
>Can you really take this new responsability? You can wipe your memory if you want
>But what if something really dangerous comes, and you die because you weren't ready?
>"Earth to Norman, we have to go"
"Uh?"
>"We have to go. Our assigment starts now"
