//------------------------------// // Meeting The Tomboy And The Priss // Story: Strange Happening // by Z-A-C //------------------------------// "You know Pinkie? Cherries are one of my favorite fruits, but I never thought about wrapping them up in tortillas and frying them. What kind of tortilla is this? Flour or corn?" "Cinnamon tortilla." She said with a smile. "How did you make it?" "Instead of flour, I used cinnamon." "But how-" I was interrupted by Twilight waving at me to stop questioning her. "Um...well it's very good. No matter how you made it's good." "What about the brownies? Or the cake? Or the pie?" She asked without pause. "They were awesome. Did you use all organic ingredients?" "What other kind of ingredients would I use?" 'Oh that's right they don't have synthetic shit like we humans do.' Pinkie looked at Twilight with a weird look on her face. Twilight shrugged and looked at me. "Uh...Zane? You alright?" "Huh? Oh...yeah, yeah I'm fine. We don't always use organic stuff to make our baked goods, which makes them even more unhealthy." "That doesn't seem very sensible..." "Tell me about it." We chatted a bit more before Pinkie had to go back to work and Twilight took me to see um...who'd she say it was? Hmm....I'm not sure. Oh yeah Rarity. Twilight led me to a fancier looking building. I just hoped that Rarity wouldn't be one of those fancy types. Twilight knocked on the door. "Coming darling!" 'Dammit... The door opened. "Oh! Why hello Twilight. Please come in! You've been gone for days darling! I was beginning to worry." "Uh...yeah I might have accidentally send Applejack to another world, I was out looking for her." "Oh my! Have you had any luck?" "Yes she is back at her farm, but we did bring back someone." "Don't you mean somepony" "No, I would like to introduce to you the one that took care of Applejack and I while we were in his world." "That's nice dear but um...where is he?" "Huh?" She looked in my direction and I was hiding just beside the door and under the window. Twilight laughed nervously. "If you'll excuse me for a moment." She walked over to me. "What are you doing?" "Hiding from the fancy one." "What's wrong with her being a little fancier then the rest of us?" "Is she shallow? Is she greedy? Amongst other things that's what's usually wrong with fancy types." "Just give her a chance, please?" "Fine." She walked back in front of Rarity. "Ok! Let's try again shall we? Allow me to introduce the one that took care of Applejack and I." I sighed and walked over next to Twilight. "Rarity meet my human friend, Zane." "Hi." I said. "What did you say he was again?" Rarity asked Twilight. "A human." "I see. And you brought him back from his world?" "Hey guys....I'm right here you know?" "My apologies dear. P-please come in, both of you." "No that's alright I-" I noticed Twilight glaring at me. "I mean...of course. Thank you." As we walked in, I looked around and couldn't help but groan at all of the fancy suits and dresses. I did have to admit that it was a nice place despite everything. "Shall I make us some tea?" "Yes thank you Rarity." Twilight replied. "None for me thanks. I don't care for the stuff." "Ok then. I shall be back momentarily." Twilight nodded and then turned to me. "She not that bad, now is she?" "I guess not. I'll be right back." "Ok?" I walked in the same direction that Rarity went, and found the kitchen. I saw Rarity filling the tea pot with water. I knocked on the wall. "Yes? You need something darling?" "A glass of milk, if you have it. I need something to regulate my blood sugar." "You two went to Sugar-Cube Corner didn't you?" "Yeah." She chuckled. "I will bring it out with the tea." "Thank you." I walked back to Twilight. She raised an eyebrow. "You didn't do anything did you?" "Well nothing bad. I just asked for a glass of milk." "Ok, good." We spent the rest of the time waiting for Rarity to come back with our beverages. -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- We left Rarity's after we a nice chat. We talked a little bit about what it's like on earth and what I think of their world so far and things like that. I thanked her for the milk as Twilight and I walked out of the door. I asked Twilight where we were going now. She said we'll try to catch Rainbow Dash before it gets any later and then tomorrow we'll go to Fluttershy's and then she was going to look for ingredients for the spell before the Princesses got here to see me. I was slightly taken aback and asked why she didn't say anything about it earlier. She said she forgot...go figure. Twilight took me to some kind of cloud house and said that this is where Rainbow lives. She called for Rainbow and got no response, so she tried again and the same thing happened. Third times the charm she thought as she tried one last time. A blue pony with a multicolored mane poked her head up ad looked down. "Hey Twi!" She flew down. Finally, a pegasus. "Where the hay have you been? I've been looking for you since I found out you were missing!" "Long story." She scratched the back of her neck. "But anyway whats this thing?" She said as she looked me up and down. "He is a human and he has a name." "Did you find him in the Everfree or something?" "Not quite." "Um...Twilight?" I said, causing them both to look at me. "I think it's story time." "Whoa you can talk?" "Yes..." I looked at Twilight. "Twilight?" "Um yeah. Here's what happened...." Then she told Rainbow about everything that happened. "So that's where you two went. How did you know that was where Applejack was sent?" Asked Rainbow. "I tracked the spell and followed it." "That was risky, you know?" "Yeah but I had to bring back Applejack." "It is kinda funny that she and him found you first." "In an ironic way?" I asked. "Yeah. But it was kinda uncool to use a spell on her Twilight, I'm surprised he didn't make you stay in the barn." "He tried but Applejack didn't let him." "Yeah, yeah I remember that part." Rainbow looked at me. "So what do you plan on now?" "Probably go back to Sweet Apple Acres and go to sleep. Twilight said I have busy day tomorrow." "Why's that?" "Something about Princesses coming here to see me, I don't know." "Whoa, that's awesome! You should probably get some rest though" "Probably right my rainbow maned friend." "Well," Twilight chimed in. "It's getting late I better get him back to Applejack's." "Alright see you two around!" She said and then shortly after she flew back up to her house and probably went to sleep. _=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_=_ We are on our way back to Sweet Apple Acres and talking about what I think about her friends that I have met. I told I thought that they were nice enough. We were maybe about half way there now (I think we are, to be honest I'm not sure) when I was tackled by a grey pegasus pony. "Oh no! I'm so sorry! It was an accident!" "Then get off of me." "Oh sorry." She jumped off of me. "Ditzy!?" "Oh hey Twilight! Sorry about running into your friend here." "How did you even do that?" "I tried to do a barrel roll and I kinda spun out of control." She smiled sheepishly and turned to me. "Sorry about that again mister. I hope you're not hurt." "Um...don't about it I'm fine, Ditzy was it? I'm fine Ditzy." "Ok I hope so. We I have to go. Bye mister! Bye Twilight! "Bye Ditzy."Twilight said. I just waved. "Shes an interesting one isn't she?" "You don't even know the half of it." !@#$%^&*()_++_)(*&^%$#@! We were coming up on the gate to Applejack's farm. I could see that Applejack was waiting for me. Twilight and I said our goodbyes and parted ways. As I was walking down the path, I looked up at the sky. The stars were out and it was a full moon, it was quite lovely. I walked up onto the porch and sat down next to Applejack. "Yer late you know." "Am I? I don't remember you giving me a curfew." "Ah guess yer right. Well it ain't just yet, what do you think we could do?" "Enjoy the beautiful night, sitting on the porch. Seems alright to me." "Well alright then." A few minutes have passed before I spoke up. "Twilight is going to look for stuff for the spell tomorrow." "Already? She sure is a proactive pony isn't she?" "Seems like it, but that's not all. Royalty is visiting tomorrow." "Really?" "Yeah, Twilight said they wanted to meet me before I left." "Wow You better get some rest." I stood up. "Yeah I suppose you're right." "Let me take you to your room." "Ok." She opened the door and led me upstairs, to 'my' room. "Here you are sugar cube. Hope you don't mind but you'll be sharing mine and Applbloom's room." 'Figures, don't it?' "No problem. Just no uh...funny stuff if you catch my meaning." She blushed and nodded her head. "Here's your bed. Good night sugar cube." "Good night."
