//------------------------------// // Note to Self: Bring a mirror // Story: Friendship is AWESOME // by smxsonic //------------------------------// It’s never a good feeling when you pass out, I wasn’t even fortunate enough to have an epic dream filled with foreshadowing. Slowly bits of reality started fading in. voices were heard , They were still damp in my ears. I made a mental note to myself to tell Luna to fix the landing. “…-ink he’s coming to…” Okay, that didn’t sound like Luna. “Hey, hey, can you hear me?” Like I can answer, It’s like that situation where you’re in bed then your roommate Bursts into your room yelling at the top of his lungs that he’s going out, and you would like to say that he’s too loud but your brain hasn’t quite found your mouth. I grumble. “I think that’s a yes….” I found that I can move my arms but don’t exactly have the streagth to push myself up. I tried to ppen my eyes but they refused to open. “Don’t try too hard now” Another voice, this one more motherly, I regained the ability to open my eyes. Of course I open them too fast. Ow, too much light, too much light. Okay, try again, slowly, slowly. Good. Everything is blurry, but good. My eyes open up to see a mint green pony standing next to a cream colored pony. Wait… When you wake up from fainting, there are few things you don’t expect to see. Ponies are one of those things. I should have known given how I’ve spent weeks talking with Luna. Still Talking to Lyra and Bon-Bon wasn’t what I expected to be doing by now. “Something must have hit you hard, for you to be passed out in the Everfree Forest” Lyra stated “Well, I was hit hard….” I started, then it hit me “wait…. Everfree?” “Yeah, I was going on my usual hunts-“ Lyra started but then Bon-Bon interrupted “She means Wild goose chases!” “-It’s legitimate research!” Lyra Shouted back, She then continued “Anyway , We found you in the middle of the forest” Something always has to go wrong doesn’t it? “My names Lyra, By the way, My partner in the kitchen is Bon-Bon,Master of sweets andPony of a thousand voices” Bon-Bon exited the Kitchen, “Oh, Stop it,” Lyra grinned “Make me” “Play that harp for me and maybe I will” Okay! Things just went awkward, Really, It’s bad enough when couples did this in my world, But seeing this unfold with ponies… I’m kinda bitter. I coughed, They both looked back at me. “um… Sorry” Lyra said embarrassed “So… you know who we are, What about you?” Enter Dilemma number one, I can’t use my real name, because that’s decidedly not pony, Can’t use SMX, becaue Why would I have only 3 letters as my name. I look around And I settle on…. My…… Flank…………….. Well it’s not like I expected to NOT be a pony now, But I’ll save that shock for later. My cutie mark was a microphone infront of a director’s slate. “My… name… Is Standup, Standup Comedy” Ladies and gentlemen I give the “Ass Pull Championship” to myself, SMX! “Nice to meet you Standup!” Lyra greeted “ What were you doing in the Forest anyway” “I was called to canterlot, and I got lost” “You… Chose to go through the Most dangerous Forest in Equestria?” “That’s rather reckless, What hit you?” Bon-Bon added “Well… it’s no big deal, I Tripped and I fell on my head” Like I was going to tell them that the Princess of the moon pushed me. High treason isn’t high on my priority list. “Well, It’s too late to be going anywhere now, Just Lay there for the night and we’ll see you out in the morning. I nodded in agreement. Okay so back to the fact that I’m a pony. Again, Was Kinda expecting it, But personal inventory. Legs, I have four. Fur, blue, always liked that color. That seems to be all. The night came, Lyra and Bon-Bon were asleep. I tried to give walking a try, Awkward, but just but on foot in front of the other. Still feels weird but I’m mobile at least. I headed towards the door. “Sorry, but I don’t want to be a burden” I thought. Time to find what my mission is.
