Take a second look

Trivial things.

I've got a good news and a bad news. Good news is, I was finally able to get the hell out of that library and in the blinding rays of the sun, better yet... I was able to charge my phone! Bad news? My games were useless, no internet connection and more than half of my games are better left deleted... I was three days closer to getting that rare character and all of this was.... Excuse me, I went off on a tangent there, either way there was still some games playable, even though they bore me now, but on the brighter side, I can listen to my music. No real likes or dislikes. I can go listen to classical music one moment and then dubstep the next! And that is what I'm doing right now, listening to some good old 'Owl City', ironic how some of the songs I have in this phone pretty much tells a few of my experiences here, also... I wonder what her other two friends are like? On one hand we have Twilight, the nerdy librarian. Rainbow Dash, the tomboy who loves speed. Applejack, The calm farmer. And Pinkie Pie, the bubbly, happy and slightly random and weird... uh... baker? Anyways, I wonder what the two remaining ones are... I'm just hoping there's no yandere-ish type... I don't want to be caught in the target sights of a yandere...

As soon as we stepped out of the library, I quickly took out the charger and the phone to see if it still works, thankfully enough that it still does. Twilight kept asking questions about the device, in which I humored her and answered until the resounding tune the phone made reminding me that the charging was working! I quickly tuned out Twilight to take my earphones out and listened, soon enough I was already humming, a little while later...

"Am I home? Or am I simply tumbling all alone~" I sang, completely forgetting the pony beside me, who if I only looked closely was actually calling out to me.

Suddenly I felt a tug on the earphones I was wearing and removed one of them and looked at Twilight's direction to see a fuming pony who was clearly glaring at me.

"What?"

"It's rude to ignore ponies you know?"

"When have I ever ignored you?" She rolled her eyes and looked at me funny.

"Really Anon? Are you really asking that?"

"Yeah.... Never mind, what do you need anyway?" Shaking her head, she sighed.

"Well, when we were talking, before that device suddenly emitted that sound and you suddenly ignored me for no reason..." She'll hold a grudge against this huh? "I was asking you about that device, and how you're going to fare here in Equestria."

"Well, explaining about this device will take a long time so, let's put that matter on hold first, about me faring here is a different matter. I've been here for almost a week now, we've established that I'm not a threat to any of you here, we know that I can eat something else other than meat, all is good except one thing."

She wondered "What is that 'one thing'?"

"Clothes."

"Clothes?" I nodded.

"Yes, clothes. As a human being, we have this instinctual taboo where humans are required to have clothing on all times except for a few exceptions, although there are other tribes back in the world that doesn't see clothing as part of a necessity, but from where I'm from, we feel it better to wear clothes than not."

"I still don't see the problem here Anon." I sighed.

"Well... Let me put it this way, I grew up wearing clothes everyday and it would make me feel more out of place if I don't wear any. Sure I'm wearing clothes now, but it feels really weird to wear the same clothing for almost a week straight." Looking back at Twilight I noticed she was putting that pen to good use.

"And?"

"And seeing as how you ponies can easily go outside to anywhere in your birthday suit, naturally you don't need clothes right? Now I'm in a dilemma of where I can get some clothes." I sighed but she only laughed at me.

"Well Anon, you're quite in luck! The pony who we'll meet is a bonafide tailor! One of the best in Equestria if I do say so myself!"

"Wait, so you mean... I don't have to walk around on my birthday suit?" She nodded.

"HURRAH! Well what are we waiting for?! Let's go!" I ran straight as fast as I could before feeling a familiar and sudden tug at my clothes and seeing a purple glow around me.

"You're going the wrong way. I'll lead."

The other ponies around town were looking at me and were whispering to one another, I say let them, I'm too happy to know that I'll be getting some clothes in this strange new world and Carly Rae was not helping me in containing my giddiness.

You're right about that Carly, it's always a good time. I grinned as I let Twilight man handle me, or was it pony handle?

Twilight has been looking at me weirdly for the whole time while we walked towards whatever destination we were going but, this is normal I guess? Even back at home people would look at someone else weirdly if the person was bobbing his head but, she's starting to irk me.

"What?" Twilight having not expected me to talk, stumbled for a second before clearing her throat.

"I uh... was just wondering why you were doing that with your head."

"It's the device, I'll tell you later when we get to your friend's place." she stopped and shook her head.

"You can tell me now. We're already here." she knocked at the door of the place near us.

"Uhh, Twilight? What was this place called again?" I asked as I walked towards her while looking at the building.

"Carousel Boutique." we heard someone from the other side of the door Figures it'll be another horse or pony pun... this place literally looks like a carousel ride! this thought of mine made me accidentally chuckle a little but, a voice soon talked, snapping me out of the thought.

"Who is it?" Oh... A snooty high-class type voice... good, not a yandere...

"It's me Rarity. I have something to talk about with you." Twilight seems to be putting something on her ears and if I wasn't mistaken those looked exactly like earplugs... damn it.

"Ooh! Is it a gossip? Do tell darling!" she quickly opened up the door and saw me three... two... one... "Kyaaaaaaaaaa!!!" I quickly held my hands towards my ears expecting this very reaction but... GOD DAMN! Her scream could easily shatter glass! she soon fainted though and we... Twilight and I, looked at each other.

"What now?" I was cleaning out my ears, which was still ringing by the way...

"For now, let's get her inside and wait for her to wake up so we can explain, also, try to hide somewhere inside where she can't see you once she wakes up so it will be easier to explain."

Her plan is good... but I have a different idea. I grinned, Twilight might have noticed as she was sighing.

"Anon! You need to hide! She'd be waking up any second now!" Twilight was pulling on my shirt with her magic but I payed it no heed as I continued inspecting the fainted pony, snow white fur, posh and curled mane and tail and shiny hooves that looked as if it was manicured!

"Uugh... what in the world happened...?" she seems to be waking up as Twilight was now frantically pulling me away, evident by how she was now pulling on my clothes with her mouth instead of her magic.

As soon as she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was a grinning face, no muzzle, just a face that was grinning. At her.

She opened her mouth to scream again but, I quickly put my right hand on her muzzle and my left arm around the back of her neck while using my free hand to scratch the back of her ear. I heard that horses like being scratch in that part among many other part but this is the safest part I can think of, this scratching thing is something akin to a dog's underbelly scratch if I'm not mistaken.

The mare struggled under my grasp but, I held on and continued and soon she was putty under my hands. "There, isn't that better? all relaxed?" she still cautiously looked at me and then looked at Twilight who said she will 'Explain' as they moved to another room, leaving me all on my lonesome... Time to fling some bird suicide.

I quickly got bored as I rest the phone and charger near a window and listened to music, it was somewhere around an hour or two since they've spoken in private but, I'm really bored now with nothing else to do. Just listening to music. Waiting here like this makes me bored so I decided to close my eyes and get some rest, girls and their gossips always take too much time... or not? I suddenly hear their steps coming close... I should pretend sleep. and that I did.

"I understand completely darling. I am willing to cooperate! And who knows? This might even give me more ideas for my expertise." I may have my eyes closed but, from her voice I could tell she was giddy for this. Oh boy... well, this is for my clothes anyways so I'll just do what must be done.

I surrendered myself to the tailor slash artist pony in front of me and let her do her work, either way this is a win-win situation for me. Free clothes and new way to relax the ponies into mush... I don't know why Twilight was so tired about this meeting but I can already see the fun times ahead...
