Digi Poni

From a Hut with Haste: 6

I had apparently met the Zebra known as Zecora. She is mysterious, even up close and in person to me. Even if I'm talking directly to her.

I may have enjoyed her tea, even if it had been the strangest a potion I could have her dream up, but I guess that's my perspective?

Just to be in the actual Ponyville alone is way out there, or in here? I was lifting my left hand, pointing a finger at my head in the common gesture for a lunatic. I just left it at that, rather than picking up where it may be leading me. I rather enjoy the madness for what I could pull out of it, then hope to have been into something truly horrendous.

Walking by the road, backpack on my back, and her little gift in my chest pocket. My backpack clearly had a pocket for what had been expected to be a weirded out smartphone, looking rather dumb.

I had been told the potion I had been given, would allow me to have flight, if for but a short time. If I require using it in order to catch a pegasus, then it is when to use it.

I could have used it up, flying out of the forest, but if I did, I would have missed the chance I was looking for.

Once out of the forest, I could walk slow, without fear. That's how I got to the edge of the village. I need to find the Pony I was looking for, to greet her the first Pony I saw. Therein lay the trickery, if I had no desire to be rude?

I guess I could find her, I had all I need to know exactly where she is. Looking at the screen, there are five dots, one had popped out. Pinkie Pie no longer available? There was a message at the bottom of the screen to this effect, if I had not realised it on my own.

I had picked Dah. I found her awesome, and she is who I had chosen. I wanted Rainbow Dash, none other. I had been in time to claim her, by the looks of it?

Her dot, the same light cyan, gently blinking in the stationary position. She was apparently still sleeping. With that, I could as well have a rest. I had chosen to stay well of off the beaten track, securely outside the village, waiting.

There was a sign, she was stirring. I pulled my potion, drew the vial, and gulped it down. Something changed, and as I reach out, I felt myself taking flight, air under wings I never had had, but this is in Equestria, just outside of Ponyville, it just may be possible?

Flying in haste towards the cloud, on which she woke up, and I hastened, flying continuously faster, until I almost flew by her, stopping fairly quickly, before I stopped, landing on her cloud.

Now you better not tell anyone, who'd believe? I'd still deny if, if you tried, knowing better then go with a story like this.

Just sitting there on the cloud, soft, fluffy, beside the hero of my dreams, as she came around, stirring.

“Morinign, Dash!” I simply greeted her, just as she opened her eyes.

“Uh, morn'!” Dash slurred, not quite fully awake, and had never expected anyone by her side.

“I had to catch you early. Before I saw anypony else!” I pointed out, matter of fact.

By this time, I had folded my wings flat on my back, but you can't really hide wings entirely. Why bother? I knew she would catch up on the detail soon enough, once she had woken up.

“Who are you? I'm quite sure I never saw you here before, not anywhere near Ponyville by any means!” she slipped.

“Ofhorse not, I'm new here, and that's part of the reason, why I had to see you first!” I pointed out.

“That makes sense, but why did you have to see me first? Why me, of all Ponies of Equestria? It's not a weather problem? I know I'm awesome, but still?!” she responded.

“Because I chose you. In part, it is because you're awesome. Still, it was my choice in the first place!” I informed the confused pegasus, then pondering if it was the time to drop my surprise on her.

I had made my choice, I had managed to see her, and first. I had made it. I had picked the one Pony I had desired in the first place. Should I expose my wings yet?

If I had exposed my wings, she would have seen them. I thought I knew wings are the colour of your fur, or hide. I would have had a light pink hue to my wings, by this token. What was the real shocker, is what I was to see, next time I did spread my wings though. Even if my wings may still be the old colour, they had changed, now the tips of the wings have a gradient, the same cyan as Rainbow Dashs fur and wings are.

“Unless you're a pegs, how did you get up here? You're not a Unicorn, since you have no horn!” she then concluded.

Maybe this is the time? I felt my wings spread out, exposing them to the increasing warmth of the sun on my back.

“Starting from the beginning, such as it is here, Zecora offered me tea, and since I had mentioned you, she then gave me a potion. I was granted a short flight. I guess this would make me a Pegas, of sorts, for this short time?” I responded.

“The Zebra? That Zecora?” she then enquired, somewhat incapable of hiding a hint of curiosity.
