Just a few mouse clicks and some scrolling and scanning over the words. Pay attention to the words and please.. stay with me. We beg you. Please read this and follow along with it. )

Canterlot. Canterlot. Canterlot.

What do you think of Canterlot? Great and peaceful? Fancy, loving, full of kindness? We used to think that as well. Most ponies don't even think about it here in Canterlot but, someponies have yet to realize it.

Here in Canterlot we see a young stallion. His name is Everypony. Now, he has a genuine name that his best friend and acquaintances call him, and that would be Winston.

Now Winston lives here in Canterlot. He moved here a few months ago and was greeted with a very warm welcome. He was treated right and he even had some ponies help him if he had questions. He also made a few friends along the way. But for now, only two of them see the truth.

Winston doesn't talk much about what he has realized. The common brown earth pony doesn't really talk about much anyways. Nopony really talks about much if your somewhat of a somepony. But all of the so called "noneponies" are oblivious to what is really going on. What is behind those screens. That's another thing, the "someponies" will make sure that you know they are a "somepony". The will speak softly to you at first at welcome you, but if you get in their way or slip up in the slightest they will take you. They will take you.

There is a third type of pony here in Canterlot. We have the "Somponies" and also the "Noponies". But the third class is what Winston and his friend belong to. They are part of the "Everyponies." Noponies are left behind, forgotten. But welcomed and respected for about a day by the someponies. The "Someponies" demand respect and order and will make sure they get their way.

The "Everyponies" are commanded by the Someponies. They are just to naive to realize it. The "Everyponies" respect the "Noponies" but the "Noponies" only want recognition from the "Somponies". It's a messed up place once you realize it here in Canterlot

Just as Winston stopped talking in his head he looked across the room he was sitting in. He saw a poster with Celestia on it. The poster was red with their princess's head on the front and a very very prominent sentence of text on the poster.

"Mother Celestia is watching you."

The poster had Celestia's eyes...so ...big. And they seemed to follow you where ever you went. There was no hiding from them, she always watched you. She watched Everypony. There were hundreds of those posters. They were everywhere.

Just then Winston spit out the cider he was drinking. His spit take was followed with a disgusted "Aghhh" and a few grunts. This "Friendship" Cider was the most disgusting thing he had ever tasted. But he drank it almost everyday. He knew that if he was quick he could try and swipe some "Harmony" Cider. But that cider was only for the "Somponies." Winston was not a "Somepony".

So Winston continued to play their game. He waited and waited without making a sound or moving a muscle. He was waiting here for his friend. He needed to talk to him. So Winston scanned the room. There didn't seem to be any guards. Guards was such a harsh name for the ponies so Winston liked to call them D's. He had no idea why but he just did. So Winston scanned once again. No sign of D anywhere. So he continued to wait. He wondered if his friend would show up. He hoped that he was alright. He worried himself with the thoughts about his friend. He started to get scared. He calmed himself down...and continued to wait. He took a very quick gulp of his cider and grimaced at the after taste. He waited some more. His eyes glanced up at the poster.

"Mother Celestia is watching you."

He quickly looked away.

The road was Muggy, It Was quiet but Many Noponies trotted along. A few conversations sprung up here and there as they found others to converse with. They seemed to enjoy themselves as They talked about many topics. Tales of bravery and hope, none though were of The graphic nature for they strayed away from it. A Blue Pegasus trotted along the street, He kept his gaze straight and unwavering. He Weaved between The small groups as they formed, He looked into one of them which were Chatting about Cakes and pasteries, As well as the happiness that came from this simple topic. He backed away, he felt slight Happiness from the oblivious others. He trotted down the road further, He Had trotted this road 10,20, No hundreds of times before. He watched as newcomer Noponies came and went. He sighed, it was always the same to him. He caught his eye on one of the many posters that Hung on the brickwalls around the Street.

"Mother Celestia Is Watching You."

It read. Flashbomb stared at the Round eyes that he swore were looking directly into his soul. He Grimmaced slightly and Rubbed his foreleg. He hated the look of those things, always watching. He trotted down the street Futher, he had to meet his friend soon. He heard distant hoofsteps behind him. A group Of Foals ran past him. He recognised them as the CMC. He watched them giggle and play as they ran past. The Orange Pegasus of the group stopped and looked back to him. She smiled at him, "Hey mister! Why dont you join the others in their Conversations on the sides of the streets? Im sure they would be overjoyed for you to join!" She asked him. He chuckled and nodded, He trotted to a nearby group whom Had been coversing the topic about A storytime, Something about a Daring do. He acted as though he was completly interested, he checked over his shoulder to see The foal had run off with her friends. He wiped some sweat from his brow and left the conversation. He picked up his pace slightly more until the Cafe where he was supposed to meet his friend came into view. He was relieved to see it, he trotted at a brisk pace trying to keep suspicions low. He opened the door and saw his friend. [colour=#0000FF]"Hello Winston. Lovely weather." [/colour]He said to him as he sat down. He looked over his shoulder to find the waitress whom seemed busy. He looked back to winston with a blank expression.

[Derpyy]

He was there! He was alive and well and breathing and still kicking...his friend...Flash..was..alive. Winston sighed a quick sigh of relief and then got up to greet his friend. [colour=#800000]"Yes lovely weather indeed."[/colour] He gave him possibly the smallest smile he could have given a pony. His movements were slow as he had no plans to draw attention to him or Flash. So Winston glanced over Flash's shoulders quickly and managed to catch that same poster again only in a different place

"Mother Celestia is watching you."

Winston saw a few ponies standing by the poster staring at it in awe. He wanted to go over and push them away and just tear the poster apart and....Then a sudden spark went off in his brain and he looked away from the poster. Winston turned his eyes back to Flash.[colour=#800000] "I assume that your work went well? Everything..alright?"[/colour] He wanted to look over his shoulder so badly..but he knew if he did then "They" would become suspicious. So he stayed calm and played it cool.

[Dabom444]

Flashbomb sat still, He caught Winston looking over his shoulder, He knew that He saw ponies looking at the posters. He gritted his teeth behind his lips. Why did they regard Celestia as the top Pinnacle of goodness and truth? He blinked, his gaze moved to the side as he waited patiently for the Waitress. He looked back to Winston when he asked him about "Work" He nodded slowly, [colour=#0000FF]"It went well, No problems at all. Just same ol same ol." [/colour]He said to his friend. He heard hoofsteps come near. He tensed up slightly but relaxed when the waitress came. "What will you have?" She asked them. Flash looked to her and smiled, [colour=#0000FF]"Ill have your special." [/colour]He said to her. She smiled and nodded, she looked to Winston waiting for him to order.

[Derpyy]

Winston nodded to Flash as he told him work was good. It's not everyday when you have a job like Flash's. But Winston hated his job. He hated working for the Ministry. He hated it..he hated it...but he also loved it. His job was to basically rewrite history. To lie. But just then Winston noticed that the waitress was waiting for him to place an order.Winston glanced over at Flash and grimaced at the though of eating a special. He knew that the "Someponies" got better food than they did. He hated it. So Winston shook his head.[colour=#800000] "Nothing, thanks." [/colour]He gave her a small smile and watched her walk away.

Winston turned back to Flash. He stared at him right in his eyes. [colour=#800000]"I don't understand how you are going to eat that." [/colour]He didn't laugh. Laughter caused commotion which could lead to raised suspicions.

Where they were...they were safe though. Or so Winston though. They were in a cafe...it served as a type of Chatroom for the Noponies and Everyponies to chat with each other. And there was the occasional Somepony that popped in and got many a praise from the Noponies. But when they received the praise they would ignore them and simply talk to themselves privately or wait for another Somepony to show up. They usually would wait and catch any unsuspecting ponies and learn about them. Learn their interests, and more importantly..learn their weakness. The Someponies were a brutal and violent group. They liked to keep the Noponies stupid and happy. While demanding and threatening the Everyponies. Such as Winston and Flash. But thankfully...there were not someponies around.

[Dabom444]

Flash Looked to Winston, He shrugged lightly, [colour=#0000FF]"I know....But its "Good". [/colour]He said to him. He needed to make the Someponies think that he enjoyed what he was given. He was relieved that No Someponies had been around. He Didnt prefer their company, he didnt want to be around them but he had to. He Saw 2 Noponies trot by, they seemed happy. "Im so glad that we live here." One of them spoke, The other giggled and continued on "I Think that there is no better place to be! The Acommodations are fantastic and the Someponies, they are personally my hero." The other spoke. Flash watched them leave the Cafe, if only they knew. If only they could see past the screens of their everyday lives. Their Conversation Groups. Flash heard a click and looked over to see the waitress recieving his meal from a dispencer. He knew that the Someponys controled the food network, they had control on who got what. He looked back to Winston. [colour=#0000FF]"So anyways.....How is your day?" [/colour]He asked him. The Waitress came over and placed the plate of "food" infront of him. He Thanked the waitress and reluctantly took a bite. He nearly choked but kept it down, Choking would imply Rejection and then would raise suspicion. He finnished his bite and looked to winston.

[Derpyy]

Winston watched as his friend nearly choked to death on the "food". Winston glanced down at the receipt that was on Flash's food tray. It read, "One Friendship Special." Winston grimaced at the disgusting slop that laid before Flash. Winston would probably eat the same meal tomorrow. And the next day, and the next day. "Work?" Winston kept his nervousness down as he scanned the room again. There was a somepony standing near the entrance. He was with another somepony and the were chatting with each other. Only...each other. Winston saw a small Nopony trot up to the large Somepony and he simply rejected the pony. He cast the pony away and Winston wanted to pony to get mad at the Somepony. To rise up..but the nopony simply laughed and said..."Thank you!" Why? Why would that pony do that?

Just then the somepony stallion looked over at him. Winston looked back to Flash and quickly said,[colour=#800000] "Work was fine. Good."[/colour] He smiled a half smile. He had gotten a small glimpse at that Somepony when he looked at him. He was rather tall. Winston didn't know his name so he decided to call him, "Star".

Then a large buzzing was played in the cafe. Then..the same somepony that looked at Winston moved in front of all of them and said, [colour=#000000]"Friends..my dear..friends. Let the Two minute hate. Begin."[/colour] He gave all the noponies smiles and went back. Winston looked over at the other ponies and then back to Flash. He realized that they were the only two Everyponies in the Chat area. Winston looked up and noticed that the Somepony was looking at Flash's back. Trying to get him to turn over. He was inspecting him. Winston needed to do something. [colour=#800000]"So that food there. I heard it's pretty great. Not compared to the food at that other cafe down the street!"[/colour] Winston then...let out a laugh..He noticed that the Somepony looked away and went back to his business.

[Dabom444]

Flash Felt the presence of Someponies by the entrance. He Looked at the window and saw a slight reflection of the two standing there, Just standing there! They chatted with eachother, quite fondly until they threw the Nopony aside like trash. He even thanked him! He was just cast aside as though he were nothing! He felt anger well within him but looked back down to his food. Then the Buzzing came, The Somepony announced the two minute hate had begun. He heard him return to the other. Flash didnt care to join the two minute hate he felt it as some ploy to divert everyones attention away. Suddenly he felt the burn of a gaze upon his back. He tensed up but tried to keep calm. the somepony was watching him, examining him. He hadnt a clue what to do. He looked up slowly to Winston with a pleading spark in his eyes to do something. Winston had covered him with chat about the food at another cafe. He smiled to him as the burning gaze was lifted from him. [colour=#0000FF]"Yea i have to agree. Their food isnt as good." [/colour]He agreed with him. He felt himself in the clear. He heard the noPonies moving in unison to the posters of Celestia. The two minute hate had begun. They shouted frustrations about rule breakers, Freelancers and other things that were deemed evil by Celestia. The utter obliviousness of them, it made Flash's skin crawl. He took another bite and choked again, it wasnt so bad but it still had the most discusting taste he had ever encountered.

[Derpyy]

Winston carried on with his small laughter. He looked around and realized that they were good and safe. So he thought. [colour=#800000]"Look Flash, you know what I know and I know what you know. We can't be here."[/colour] He then scanned over his shoulders and then back over Flash's again. His voice was quieter. [colour=#800000]"We need to get out. But." [/colour]Winston then put his head in his hooves. He growled a bit. "This is so frustrating." Winston tried to look over to see the Nopony that was tossed aside by the Somepony. But he couldn't find him.

[colour=#800000]"We need to be careful." [/colour]Winston looked back at Flash.

[Dabom444]

Flash's eyes darted up, the cover of the Two minute hate seemed to dampen any survailence. [colour=#0000FF]"I know that Winston! But we cant leave without passing those two! This place is utterly Corrupt! We need to expose the truth of this Higherarchy!" [/colour]He said in a quick hushed tone. He knew how well watched the cafe was when a somepony was in here. He looked over to see the Someponies chuckling at the noponies Shouts. He looked back to Winston, the 2 minutes were fading fast.

[Derpyy]

Winston had no idea what time it was. He needed to know. He frantically moved his hooves around the table and started to sweat. [colour=#800000]"I just get so tired of my work..the lies. I can't...I can't keep spreading them Flash!"[/colour] Winston sighed a deep sigh. [colour=#800000]"I only want the truth. But...the moderators of the ministry..they..won't let me speak the truth." [/colour]Winston took a heavy sigh again. "[colour=#800000]I'm sure you experience the same thing." [/colour]He looked over and saw the two someponies still talking with each other. He wanted..to leave.

[Dabom444]

The two minute hate had subsided, the noponies went back about their buissiness talking in their little groups. Flash sat still looking at his food, he let his gaze look up to Winston yet again. They needed to find a way out. The 2 someponies looked at them once again, thier Judging gazes burned into them.

[Derpyy]

As the two minuted hate ended Winston became agitated. He hated how for only two minutes they could talk like that. But in reality they couldn't even talk normally. Not here in Canterlot. Canterlot demands order and rules that the Everyponies have to abide by. If they don't they are...

Winston looked back at Flash and just before he was about to speak a mare trotted past both he and Flash. The mare was pink and she had a bright yellow mane.. She dropped a note on their table very discreetly. Winston took the note and calmly read it.

It read, "I know what you two are going through. The three of us must meet. Meet me at the castle gardens in a half hour."

Winston froze. An everypony that felt the same way as him and Flash? An Everypony that knew...of the someponies? Wait..an Everypony that knew of Flash and Winston's thoughts? Winston became even more nervous but he didn't want to let it show. Winston then slowly took the not and moved closer to Flash. He made no sounds and no sudden movements. As he finished moving the note he blinked and let his eyes scan around the room. He felt as if his moving of the note was very stealthy and that nopony saw it. But...the first thing Winston saw was that poster.

"Mother Celestia is watching you."

Winston realized that she had seen everything. Mother Celestia saw what he did, she saw what just happened. She has seen and will see everything.

[Dabom444]

Flash looked down at the note, he let himself look it over very quickly before darting his gaze back to the Somepony's at the doorway. Someone felt the same way about This as they did. He let his gaze go to Winston He Was thinking the same exact thing. He felt something though looking straight at them, that poster. "Mother Celestia is Watching you." he felt his gut quake with fear. The whole thing is Being watched, maintained. He was just about to snap, Run straight at the Someponies and knock them down, Something he wanted to do for a long time. He was just seconds away until one of them Nodded to the other and left the diner, He had said something about Skyline chatting with his friends. After a few moments the other Somepony had called to him to wait up. They were both gone, Flash let out a small sigh. He looked to Winston keeping a calm face.

[Derpyy]

Winston shuffled his hooves nervously. He heard the two someponies leave and it made him happy. He was glad to see those two ponies gone. Their ugly faces and that uptight air they had about them made him sick. He just wanted to take them and just..get rid of them. Make them go through the things he and Flash had been through. He wanted them to suffer. He wanted them to just.,

"Mother Celestia is watching you."

Winston then stopped thinking. His next few thoughts were about how he didn't want to hurt them. These...mods. The poster was acting as a mod in his brain. It was getting to him.

[colour=#8b4513]"Flash we need to get out of here. I know a place that is safe. It's private...we can message there..."[/colour] Winston then frantically got up and trotted towards the door. But Winston was greeted by a large stallion. He pushed Winston down and then gave a sarcastic laugh. He was somepony. "Whoops! Didn't see you there." He said sarcastically at Winston.

Winston looked over the stallion. He had a Bell for a cutie mark and his name tag said "Osh." He was wearing uniform and his number was "101." He belonged to the 101 troop. Winston moved back a bit. The stallion looked over Winston. [colour=#000000]"What are you doing? Get up you PATHETIC pony!"[/colour] Winston grunted in anger and then slowly got up. The stallion looked at both of them. [colour=#000000]"What are you two doing then?" [/colour]

[Dabom444]

Flash had nodded to Winston, He let him go as to not raise suspicion if they went together. He sat there watching the poster for a few before he heard commotion behind him. He froze, his throat tensed up with sheer agony at the sound of a Somepony Yelling at Winston. He turned his gaze when the Pony adressed him. [colour=#0000FF]"Were.....were just having something to eat. My friend here was going to fetch a report for the Someponies at the company to aproove." [/colour]He said to the somepony trying to cover winston. He hated the regulations at his work and basically anywhere for that matter. When you wanted to do something it had to be Catalouged. Even then it had a date when it would finnaly be even glanced at. Usually they said now and threw away the hard work as though it were rubbish. The only thing that wasnt Catalouged was Breathing and that was even a long stretch. [colour=#0000FF]"He wanted to bring it to me so i could help him look it over and make sure it was in prestine order." [/colour]He said to him. He hoped that he would buy into it.

[Derpyy]

Winston nodded in lying approval to the stallion. The stallion looked over at Flash and gave him a half smile. "Well I'm sure whatever report this was..I'm sure it was horrible. If it was written or even LOOKED by you two for that matter. I guarantee you it will never meet Canterlot regulations. You might as well burn it." The stallion gave a hearty laugh "But if you must go. Then go. I give you permission." The stallion laughed again.

Winston got up.[colour=#8b4513] "Come on Flash."[/colour] Winston wanted to just turn around and hit that stallion. But he knew if he did...then he would disappear. So it was best to just leave. So that's what he did. He left..and he knew where they need to go. So Flash and Winston took off in the streets of Canterlot.

With those eyes...watching them...
