Take a second look

Meeting(?) with timidness.

It's late afternoon now. I turned off the music so as to save batteries for the night. It's called [Solar] after all. Anyways, we headed towards the last friend of Twilight Sparkle that she wanted me to meet. Fluffysky or something like that. I was just walking beside the small little creature towards our destination. By the way, the small little creature is Twilight. I try to annoy her from time to time while walking since I got nothing better to do at the moment.

"Mmm... stop it already!" Twilight knocked my hand away.

"What? I'm just scratching your ears. Sheesh."

"We have more important matters to attend to Anon. This is regarding to your temporary stay in this world!"

"Alright, alright. Relax, your highness. You're going to age fast if you keep getting stressed. Look at Pinkie, she's enjoying her everyday life." She glared at me with fiery eyes, seems she didn't like what I said.

"You two talking about me?" a voice from somewhere suddenly asked.

"Huh?" normally, me and Twilight was confused and looked around at who said those words.

"Up here, sillies!" we looked up and lo and behold, there was Pinkie Pie, with her trade mark smile and waving her hoof... she was flying through the use of multiple balloons by the way.

"Uhh.. Pinkie?" I know this is stupid... but I'll ask anyway.

"Yes?" She answers with the same smile.

"Three questions. One, why are you flying with balloons. Two, how did you know where we are and lastly, three, What are you doing here? Didn't you have something to do?"

"It's elementary my dear." She answers back.

"Okay? Well, that's not much of an answer."

"I suppose not huh? Okay, well, the cakes closed shop for today and the I know you were here because of the 'book' and for why I'm flying with the balloons? It's fun!" after her answer she suddenly giggled.

"I shouldn't have asked..." sighing as I face palmed at the somehow obvious answer that she gave. I popped her balloons with a pin causing her to fall flat on her feet... She has a good balance if she was able to do that.

"That wasn't very nice, Anon." I shrugged.

"Walk normally then, also... Give me that book!" I tried to grab her but she nimbly dodged me and the game of cat and mouse started again... Until Twilight stopped us at least.

"Are we still going to that last friend of yours? It's getting late soon you know. Maybe we should hold this off for tomorrow?"

"Whose fault do you think that would be?" she looked at me with the look that obviously said 'it's obviously you right?' kind of feeling.

"Alright, alright. Let's just go. You coming Pinks?" I raised my hands as I asked the sudden addition of person... Pony.

"Of course!"

"Now that that's settled, let's go!" I point upwards and walked straight to the direction I was pointing at.

"It's this way, Anon."

"It's that way then!" I pointed and walked towards the direction Twilight told me.

"Oh right, come here Pinks. Since Twilight doesn't want an ear scratch, I'll give it to you." I received two different looks. One of curiosity and one of anger... Mainly a glare from the anger.

"It wouldn't hurt would it?" she looked at me expectantly.

"No, of course not. Now come here you!" I grabbed her and carried her in my arms like one would a stuffed bear and did what I did.

Man, their fur is awesomely soft. Like some kind of high class cloth!

"Hmmm, a little... Little to the left plea... Yeeeess... That's the spot." Yup. Putty in my hands. Fingers and hands are awesome in this world... Though there is magic here so... Yeah.

"This... Is the best... The others should try this..." Pinkie looked as if she was on nirvana.

"You can put her down now Anon. We're here." I did what was told. Pinkie was a little regretful though.

Twilight proceeded to knock though after waiting for a whole minute, we got no answer whatsoever.

"Maybe she's sleeping?" Pinkie asked, exactly what I was thinking of as well.

"No, she often feed the animals at times like this. Let's try once more." she knocks again but we got nothing, or at least I first thought we did, until I heard a minuscule voice. As in really unnoticeable that I first thought it was all in my head.

"Who... Who is it?" Oh, there it is. I was right.

"It's me, Fluttershy. Can you please open the door so we can have a chat?" we heard an affirmation from the other side of the door albeit barely.

"Hello Fluttershy." Fluttershy as she will now be named, looked around and saw Twilight, Pinkie and then, me.

I'm not going to lie, I was expecting her to scream or attack or run or all of the above, what happened next however was not on the list.

"Oh my, is it hurt?" she looked at me worriedly while asking Twilight and Pinkie.

"That's just it Fluttershy, we'll talk about this inside."

We moved on towards the living room and I... Sat on the floor. Oh well, probably better for both ways.

"The thing we'll need to talk about is all about him." Twilight points at me and I looked all around the room.

"So it's a male? What do we need to talk about exactly? Did something happen to him?" she was genuinely worried about me and for one thing. Just like Pinkie, I already like this mare.

She walked towards me and touched my forehead to look for any injuries.

"He's okay, I need to talk to you about him exactly."

"What is it about Twilight?" after Fluttershy looked away, I immediately told Twilight what I was thinking.

"She's nice Twilight. I like her." Pinkie wasn't around now that I think about it.

Fluttershy immediately looked at me in surprise and I can see Twilight sighing. She's really stressful these days.

The mare in front of me said babbles of words before fainting.

Twilight and I looked at her before I said "Two of your friends were hostile to me on the first sight. The other two fainted and the last one somehow got an annoying book about me."

"I'm back, did Fluttershy faint already?" Pinkie came to the living room from somewhere, holding a bucket of ice.

"You knew about this didn't you?"

"Yup." she smiled again.

"Give me that book!" cat and mouse part three.

"You two together gives me a headache." Twilight sighed again while massaging her head.

"I think she's coming to." as I pointed it out, the three of us looked at the p... pony in person. Wait, is this correct? Pony in person? Whatever!

It took a while before she fully regained consciousness as she stands up.

"I saw a really weird dream." she said as she was adjusting her eyes to the lights.

"About what?" I decided to humor her, or at least myself as I asked. She looked at me for a few seconds before running behind Twilight. She was even cowering!

"I think it's best I talk to her alone?" I nod. I can see Fluttershy was afraid of me so this was the best option. They went to another room leaving me and Pinkie alone. We look at each other before I spoke up.

"Get the boardgames out. I'm beating you this time." she 'squeed' again as she held out said games and put them in between us.

"Dang it! How can you be this strong?!" I accidentally screamed out in frustration while Pinkie was giggling.

"I'm not strong. You're just weak!" she giggled again.

"Oh yeah?! Once more! Let's go!" she shrugged and set up the games but before any of s could take a chance of doing a move, Twilight came out with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy went towards me and spoke up. Weakly though.

"Uhmm.. I uhh.. I'm sorry. I heard from Twilight what happened to you."

"It's okay. I might have scared a few years off of you because of what I did so I'm sorry for that as well. Come closer." she was hesitantly walking towards me and as soon as she got close... I did what I do best in this world other than annoying someone.

"Hyaa!!" she was caught off guard at what I did but soon she was put in a relaxed state. Her body seems to be stiff though. must be from all the work she does everyday? I decided to turn the ear scratch into a massage. Something I'm proud of in the old world was that I'm good at massages.

A few moments later and we're on our way back towards the library. I figured out that my massages has an awesome effect on ponies as well! Pinkie went home halfway through and now it leaves only me and Twilight going back to the library... Which begs the question... Why was she so worried about today? Nothing overly dramatic happened anyways.

"Whatever you were afraid of happening, didn't happen Twilight." she looked at me and thought about something for a second before sighing and chuckling after that.

"I guess so, but something else that is as troublesome came up."

She must mean the ear scratch thing? Well whatever, They like it. I like the soft touch of their fur. It's win-win in my case. We continue walking back and chatting with each other. One-sided but still a talk, before we got back and slept.
