Well I recall hearing about My Little Pony back sometime in September, a couple of weeks before Season 2. I was like "This sounds so stupid." and after a day I thought "What's all the fuss about? Well, I'll just check it out..." Next I knew I was on my iPod watching My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic for HOURS. I completed watching Season 1 by September 7th and I then waited for Season 2 along with all the other bronies. But before this, I got a Fluttershy toy.
I was, however, confused. It seemed I had already knew who this Fluttershy pony was. I'd seen her somewhere before. Then I remembered, back a few months before in 2011 when they released the MLP FiM happy meal toys! So I already had a Fluttershy! I quickly checked my penny box collection, where I hoard all my special stuff+my pennies. There she was, comb and all. Since I had 2 Fluttershy's now I was pretty happy.
Then Season 2 comes along. I watch it along with everyone else, commenting on YouTube and all this stuff. Then, finally the finale! I LOVED IT! By the finale I had a Rainbow Dash toy, a Princess Celestia, a Rarity from McDonald's, and a little Twilight Sparkle figurine.
I've been a happy member of the brony community, and I'll never leave it. Every time I watch an episode, I think of that one Fluttershy toy that started it all. If it wasn't for me going to McDonald's that day, I would never have become a brony.
After all this, my favorite pony is Twilight Sparkle. I find she is smart and likes to read, like me, but has trouble with social life.
These past years have been the best years of my life. Thanks, everyone.
