So here I sit in a small cottage, discussing things with a yellow pegasus that has a pink mane. She was kind enough to offer me fruit and a salad. I ate this, savoring every piece.
"S-so do you know how you got here, by any chance?" She asked in a shy manner.
"I died," I said simply, but in a direct manor.
"What? How did you die?"
"Well, I had a disease that was incurable and died on today which is my birthday".
"Wow you died on your---".
"Fluttershy, it's me Twilight. Spike is over at the park with Snips and Snails. I was wondering if you would like to come with me to Sugarcube corner to get some tea and a cupcake," a voice from the other side of the door asked.
At the sound of someone else she immediately panicked, not knowing what to do. She started to pant and run around the room to move things.
"Fluttershy, is this one of your friends or something?" I asked calmly but loud enough for the one outside to here.
"Ohh Fluttershy, sorry. I didn't know you had a stallion over. Who is he, can I meet him?" The mysterious one behind the door asked.
"N-no, he is just a friend, nothing more."
"Okay… well, can I meet him?"
"Wai-AHH"! She exclaimed as a bag of animal feed fell on her from the closet she was trying to make space for me in.
"Fluttershy! What’s wrong, are you hurt?!" the one with a lot of patience asked.
I quickly rushed over to her side, lifting the bags off of her. They were heavier than I suspected, but still some pretty easy lifting. When I finally got the last bag off of her, I saw a shaking ball of yellow and pink fur.
"Fluttershy, are you alright?" I asked grabbing an ice pack from her freezer.
"I…" was all she could get out before the door seemed to explode before us.
"Whoa, what's going on"? I asked standing over Fluttershy holding an ice pack to her head.
"Who are you, what are you?!" The purple one asked me in a frantic manner.
"My name is Paul, I am a human. You are scary and purple... hi."
"What? I'm not scary! And what did you do to Fluttershy?!" She asked, still irate.
"I'm gonna stop you right there ma'am. I don't hit women; a bag of feed fell on her so calm down."
"Is she okay?"
"She should be fine, just some small swelling on her forehead," I said as I picked her up and moved her to the couch.
"Thank you Paul," Fluttershy said holding the ice pack to her head.
"No problem."
Then the purple one poked me on the back and made hoof movements for me to follow her. Seeing that I was taking so long, she decided to use some telekinesis spell on me. I now realize she had a horn, because it glowed up like a Christmas tree. She motioned for me to come outside, and I told Fluttershy I'm right outside and if she needs anything, just come and ask.
"Ooh, yay! Now I can ask you all the questions I have for you!" she exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"Well, can I know what your name is since you now know mine?"
"Oh, okay, my name is Twilight Sparkle."
"A pleasure to meet you, Miss Sparkle."
"You can just call me Twilight."
"Alright. Now, back to your questions."
"Okay. I'm so excited! The first human in Equestria, and I'll know all about him!"
This is going to take a long time, I thought to myself.
After a good hour and thirty minutes, we were almost done, but I made a grave mistake. I pulled out my iPod to check the time. All I wanted to do was check the time. The second she laid eyes on this new alien device she HAD to know what it was.
"What's that?!" She asked sitting next to me biting her lips.
"This is an iPod. It has music on it, and apps like Angry birds which entertains the mind. I have pictures and other things on here too."
"Oh my goodness, I meet an alien and see alien technology, all in one day!" she said beaming with exuberance.
She started to move her hoof across it and hit the music app. I unplugged my headphones. Do it please just do it was all I could think. Showing ponies dubstep, this is gonna be so sweet! She moved her hoof over Tristam & Steven Walking-Too simple. The second she clicked it and the music started to play, her eyes widened and she backed away as if a bomb went off.
"AH! Why was it making those strange noises?" She asked as she inched closer.
"That is a genre of music called dubstep,” I said, pressing pause. “Don't worry, it's not for everybody.”
"It sounded like a blender or something,” Twilight said. “I just have one more question for you. How did you get here?"
"I died."
"Wait, what? How did you die?"
"An incurable disease claimed me, and I died on my birthday. Not really a bad present if I might say so myself."
"Oh, well, I'm sorry. I didn't know."
"That's why you asked, and don't be sorry. It was just a question, I don't mind. Maybe we should go see if Fluttershy is alright."
"Yeah we have been out here a while."
So we both got up and made our way into Fluttershy's home. To my surprise, she was out and about, walking around.
"Sorry Fluttershy,” I said. “Twilight had a lot of questions. How are you doing?"
"My head is feeling much better thanks to you."
"Don't mention it."
"Paul, would you like to meet my other friends?” Twilight asked. “I'm sure they would love to meet you."
"Well as long as Fluttershy is feeling up to going. I'm not going to leave her here alone."
"I feel better now I think I can go."
"Alright, well, you wanna go now, Twilight?"
"Sure let's go," Twilight said and hurried out the door. We saw she was about 20 feet from the house, motioning for us to come with her.
I looked over to Fluttershy who was stuck to my side with a smile on her face. I knew I had made a friend in this strange world. I know she was a friend that would be there for me and I would be there for her. A best friend.
