I can feel the morning sun as it rises on my face. I stayed my first night meditating on the deck of Twilight's library house. I feel that this spot has the perfect view of the night and day sky. It made me feel peaceful, but not at peace. I could only achieve that through whatever my boss meant by what he said. What did he mean by let go? I have been doing that for almost a millennium now. I sigh as I hear the flapping of wing above me. I could not tell who it was yet, but from the silence of the Pegasus, I guessed it was Fluttershy. I then heard a small squeak from the pony. Now I was certain it was the shy pony. Only she could produce such a cute noise. I almost died from it. I open my eyes to see the shy pony flying a little ways away from me. Almost three feet. She must want to talk to me.
Fluttershy did what she did best and became shy and frightened. She hid her face as she lowered herself to the balcony. She looked up a little to see me floating a little of the ground by a foot or two. She then began to speak.
“Um.. I-I'm sorry. D-did I w-wake you?”
She was so adorable in the way she acted all the time. I guess that is another thing I will have to get used to while I stay here. I take a deep breath to take in the new morning air and smile at the shy pony. This made her more calm and look up a little more.
“I no longer require sleep. I have been thinking all night and being at peace.”
She looked up some more and this time began to smile. After the party was over and every pony went home, I decided to meditate under the beautiful night. I will have to thank the princesses for their peaceful and beautiful cycles of day and night.
“Oh, t-that's good.”, Fluttershy began.
She walked over to me now and sat next to me. I looked over to her and descended to the wooden floor. This startled her, but she quickly recovered. I continue to smile as she looked up to me. She then asked me a question.
“Um... do you kn-know the cutie mark crusaders?”
I was taken a little bit by the name. Those three little ponies that came up to me yesterday. They were very energetic and seemed to be very distraught about not having there cutie marks. I ask Fluttershy about them.
“I met them when I was waiting at your house. They seem very determined at finding their special talent for their cutie mark.”
Fluttershy giggled at that. They were obviously more than determined.
“Yes they are an excited little bunch of fillies, but they mean well.”
Mental note: Young ponies = fillies.
“They came to my house this morning and asked me if I knew where you and if you could help them today. Can you?”
I think about what exactly I had planned today. I really had nothing to do so I guess I can help them.
“Sure.”, I say nodding at her.
She jumped up on all fours and wore an absolutely perfect smile.
“Oh that is so wonderful! They are down on the ground over there.”, She said pointing to the edge of the balcony. I didn't expect them to be here yet. They must have come over with Fluttershy.
I look over the railing to see the faces of the three looking up at me. Instantly a smile lit up each of their faces.
“YAY! HE IS AWAKE!”, Sweetie Belle yelled.
They were defiantly excited about me. Must be the fact that I said I would help them. I would be more than happy to oblige. I jump down over the rail and land behind the three fillies. I stand straight and look back at them.
“Well, lets go find your special talent.”
The three were in shock from how I was not even phased from that drop.
“Wow mister! How did you do that?”, Scootaloo said as she ran up to my side.
She was very interested in me and how I did some things. She must love action.
“Years of practice and muscle retention.”
She didn't understand retention, but she knew practice. I don't think these ponies could survive extremely long falls like me. I hope she doesn’t get the same idea.
“Just don't try it yourself.”, I add.
She look over to her two friends and waved them to follow me. I immediately realize I don't know where to go. I stop and turn to the three as they are now standing next to me. They stop and begin to look perplexed as to why I stopped. I think it would be a good idea to ask.
“Where exactly do you plan to start looking for your cutie mark?”
Each of them look at each other also questioning that. Then Applebloom began to speak.
“Remember what we said? We will try being assistant like you!”
I sigh as I think of one of these innocent ponies in my position. That would definitely not end well. Luckily they meant to just assist other ponies of their world. Not like me where I help everyone, everywhere, at anytime. I look down at the hopeful eyes of the group.
“Okay then. Let's go help some ponies!”
“YAY!!!”, All three cheered.
I hope they don't yell all the time. I can't take the volume of it.
The cutie mark crusaders were very energetic. They ran around town asking ponies if they needed any help. Some agreed to the help and others politely said no. I still got some blank stares from some ponies because of what and who I was. I ignored them and they quickly ignored me. The ponies who the cutie mark crusaders helped were very thankful for it. Unfortunately, the three didn't get there cutie marks in it. They were all disappointed about that, but what would they have expected? Anyone or anypony can help someone. That wasn't a special talent. They seemed sad about that for a little bit, but quickly regained their childlike attitudes. We sit at some sort of tree house they call there base of operations and continue to think.
“Let's try something else!”, Scootaloo said.
That could be a good idea. But what would they have in mind?
“How about ice skating!”
“It's summer.”Sweetie Belle reminded Scootaloo.
“Oh yeah... how about...”
I trailed off to begin thinking. There seemed to be something wrong with how they were doing this. They were just guessing what they were good at and liked doing. Shouldn't they know that? I look back over to the group as they continue to argue over what to do next. I begin to suggest something.
“How about you do something you like to do instead of doing stuff at random?”
The three stop talking and look over at me. They had blank stares that were hard to read. Then Applebloom spoke.
“Yeah! That sounds good! Now what would that be?”
They were even questioning that!? This is going to not be easy...
