Chapter 6: First Contact
„SURPRISE!!!“
„Aw, hell no!”
“Where you surprised of course you were surprised this is a Surprise-Party so you have to be surprised otherwise it would just be a normal party…” the pink mare started jabbering without inhaling.
“Uhm…thank you…Pinkie. It’s…uhm…really nice.” I smiled awkwardly.
“I knew you would like it. Come on everypony let’s PARTYYYYYY!”
I sighed.
“Let’s get this over with.” I thought.
There’s another thing you should probably know about me. I’m not really into parties or celebrations. I don’t like crowds of people (Ponies!). I like it quiet and peaceful, not…Pinkie…
“Maybe I’ll find a quiet place upstairs…”
Unfortunately there were lots of Ponies, who were eager to get to know me.
“Well it can’t get that bad. Probably I’ll get to know the other Mane Six members.”
I actually met them. However it didn’t go like I expected it.
After introducing myself to a few random Ponies I met Rarity. I was already preparing to say my common phrase: “Hello, my name is Xenos and I’m new in Ponyville. I come from far away. Nice to meet you.” However I didn’t even get a chance to finish a single sentence. Why? Well that’s why:
“Oh you must be Twilight’s new coltfriend.”
“Actually I’m not-”
“Oh, dear Celestia, Darling, you look dreadful, what happened to your mane?”
“A fucking transdimensional portal, you #+*%@!”
“I simply can’t let you run around like that. Tomorrow I will give you a complete makeover.”
“I don’t think that’s-”
“NO! No back talk! Leaving you like this would be a crime against fashion.”
“I guess, killing you and dropping your corpse in the river is a better option then?”
“Anyway, see you tomorrow Darling, at 10 o’ clock sharp in my boutique.” She said then disappeared in the crowd.
“I DON’T EVEN NO WHERE YOUR #+*%@-ING BOUTIQUE IS!!!”
I took a deep breath and sighed. At least it couldn’t get any worse, right? WRONG!
After Rarity’s gossip-attack came a really self-confident Rainbow Dash. And I mean REALLY self-confident. Means I had to listen to 30 minutes of “Why I am so awesome”.
After the Rainbow came the Apple. Applejack wasn’t that bad actually. We did some casual Smalltalk, but I could feel her mistrust. Either she was generally mistrustful to strangers or she could sense that I was different somehow.
The only chat I actually enjoyed was, when I met Fluttershy. She was…well…quite shy, but I liked that. She didn’t even ask where I came from (She probably wouldn’t have tried to find out my name either…).
After finishing Smalltalk with Fluttershy (“It was a pleasure to meet you Fluttershy”-“...Thank you…”) I decided to go upstairs to find a quiet place. I realised that I was actually really tired. I felt like I hadn’t slept for ages.
It was quite dark in the upper floor of Twilight’s house, but also it was quiet. I could barely hear the music from below. Perfect.
I yawned.
“Dimension-travelling is quite an exhausting hobby isn’t it?” someone said.
I looked around and saw Twilight, sitting in front of the window. She smiled at me.
“You didn’t like loud parties either huh?” I asked. Then I sat down next to her.
We remained silent for a few minutes. Then Twilight said:
“When I was a little filly, I always looked at the stars at night. I was always wondering if there were Ponies in the stars…Now I know a lot more about them. I still enjoy looking at them, but it just doesn’t feel the same. It feels like the magic of mystery is gone.”
“They are still beautiful.” I tried to cheer her up. She seemed so melancholic right now.
I gazed at the night sky for a few more minutes. When I turned back to Twilight I realised how close our faces had come. I looked into her beautiful violet eyes, felt her warm breath on my face, smelled her hair, and before I even knew what happened, we were kissing each other. It was a long and intensive kiss. Twilight tried to push her tongue into my mouth, but I was hesitating and blocked with my teeth. This situation was completely new to me. I had never really kissed a girl and now all this happened so fast. My eyes widened as Twilight increased the pressure and tried to force her tongue between my teeth. Eventually I gave up resisting and allowed her to explore the inside of my mouth, and finally even tried to use my tongue myself. Everything was soft, wet and tasted a bit like raspberries with a slight hint of bitter.
I don't know how long our lips stuck together. It seemed like an eternity, when suddenly...
“Ooh yikes! Did you two just...?”
Twilight and I were startled and quickly let go of each other. I couldn’t look at myself but I swear I was red like an overripe tomato.
Spike looked at me, over to Twilight, and then back to me.
“Spike, Please promise me that you won’t tell anyone.” Twilight said nervously.
“I don’t know...maybe we can make an arrangement. Let’s say you do the housework for at least...two months.” The purple dragon responded with a malicious smile.
“What? Forget it you little...” Twilight called out.
“Oh, I think Rarity will be incredibly excited about this beautiful news.” The way he pronounced beautiful pointed out, what he thought of the situation.
“Wait WHAT???”
“Please agree, I’ll help you with the housework, I swear, but for Celestia’s sake (I was already adapting to Pony-society) don’t let him tell Rarity. Half Ponyville is at this party!” I quickly tried to convince Twilight.
“Fine Spike, I’ll do what you want and now get back down there and act like nothing happened.” Twilight sighed.
“Aww yeah!” Spike cheered and rushed downstairs.
“You know he’s gonna tell her anyway?” I stated.
“Yes, but at least I have a reason to ground him then.” Twilight chuckled.
That was the moment when I really fell in love with this mare.
“I should probably go to bed now.” I tried to finish the conversation before something even more embarrassing happened.
“The left one is yours. I’ll go back downstairs and observe. At least he should know that I’m watching him” Twilight said with a grim smile.
I watched her going downstairs. Then I went to bed and covered myself with the blanket.
“Tomorrow I’m going to look for a job...” I thought.
I’ve made my decision. Even if there was an opportunity to return to Earth I wouldn’t go for it. I’ve made new friends and my first relationship was about to begin. Why would I want to go back?
With these thoughts I drifted away into peaceful slumber and sweet dreams. At that time I didn’t know that something dark was about to happen in near future. But about that later. This isn’t the right moment to tell you...
