this was all last year at the start of my freshman year of highschool. Ok, so lets get this done, I first heard of FiM when I was starting my freshman year. My sister had asked me if I knew what a brony was. Quote,"hey steven, do youknow whats up with highschool guys and my little pony?" I told her that it sounded odd. So in the morning before school, we watched the first episode on netflix. I liked it but kept quiet about it. So later that day, i was at my lunch period and was looking for a good manga to read and a sophmore, now a good friend named richard, noticed I was confused and ahead asked why.(i didnt know him then ). But I decided to tell him. "im wondering whats so cool about this 'my little pony friendship is magic' show. My sister said a bunch of guys and men love itand call themselfs bronies..." He looked at me with this odd grin and laughed. I thougt he was saw me as the weirdest guy in the shool. He unzipped his hoodie and he was wearing a trixie wanted shirt. (he was wearing a wonderbolts hoodie). We sat and talked about it but I was still skeptical. Later tht week I was hooked and watched the whole series in 3 days. I am now a proud brony to this day. :)
