//------------------------------// // Making new friends // Story: Tusk's Equestrian time // by Wither //------------------------------// <><><><><><> 3rd Person/pony As the sound of walking is heard going down the stairs, Fluttershy timidly steps off the stairs, followed shortly by a intergalactic soldier. As Fluttershy starts to walk towards her couch, she started to talk, "W-would you like t-to have a seat?" She asked timidly. "Uuuuh, I don't think those chairs can hold up my weight, but thanks for the offer" Tusk said "Oh, uuh, I-I see" Fluttershy said, blushing, as she took a seat. "So, mind if I start asking some questions?", "S-sure" "Okay, so what country and/or province am I in?" "Y-you a-are currently in the country of E-Equstria, and I don't think there are really any provinces in Equestria" 'I have never heard of Equestria. Quite a ridiculous name if you ask me. Hmm, I wonder what sector this planet is located in?' "Miss Fluttershy, I have been wondering, what sector is this planet located in" Tusk questioned, while eyeing her confused face "What do you mean sector? The planet we are on is called Equuis, but t-that's all I know, I'm sorry if that's not the answer you wanted" 'Great, I have been somehow transported to a planet not known to the galaxy' "Do you have any space ports around here? Somewhere I can get back to the republic?" Asked Tusk. "W-what's the republic? And what's a s-space port?" 'Great, just great. I've been transported to a planet not known to the galaxy, and they don't have any sort of space transportation.' "Never mind Fluttershy. I have another question, what species are you exactly?" Asked Tusk "W-well, i am a pegasus, but there are two other species which are the Earth pony's, and the Unicorns." "OK Fluttershy, thank you for answering my questions. Do you have one of your own?" "Um, actually, not really. But do you have a place to stay?" Um, not really at this moment, no" "O-oh, well since your injured, and don't have a place to stay, You could stay here" Said Fluttershy "Hmm... You know Fluttershy, I don't want to impose- "Oh, no! no, you wouldn't be imposing, not at all!" "Well okay Fluttershy, I guess it wouldn't hurt to stay a bit more" <><><><><><> 1st person Tusk 1 week later It has been about a week since Fluttershy took me in, and I must say, it has been the time of my life. Although I miss the republic, and the excitement of being a soldier, I have accepted that I probably wont get back to it, if what Fluttershy said was right about not knowing anything about space, or having any space ports. Speaking of Fluttershy, she is the nicest being I have ever met. She took me in and helped me heal, and has told me all she knew about this countries history. Although I do find this term of "magic" a bit ridiculous, I somewhat believe it, if I haven't heard anything about the witch mother that General Windu fought. Then there are also the three fillies that saved me by bringing me to Fluttershy after the wolf attack. Apparently the wolves were called Timber Wolves, and are somehow actually made out of timber. Those three fillies that brought me to Fluttershys names were Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and scootaloo. The day after I questioned Fluttershy, and started my stay at her cottage, those three fillies came and asked Fluttershy if I was alright. As soon as we finished our introductions, I thanked them for helping me, but they countered my thanks with theirs. Now those fillies come along almost daily. We have become quite good friends. "H-hey Tusk, I was wondering if-" Fluttershy was suddenly interrupted by a loud bang as the front door slammed against the side of the house, and three little fillies came running in. "FLUTTERSHY! You have trouble!" "Girls, what are you talking about? What trouble?" "I told Rainbow Dash how Tusk saved our lives, and then how we took him to you so that you could patch him up, but Rainbow Dash thought that Tusk was like, some sort of bad guy, and thought that you were gunna hurt Fluttershy, so she's rounding up her friends, and coming here!" Scootaloo explained "W-well, I-I'm sure t-that w-we can e-explain it t-to them" Fluttershy said scarcely "Oh no, I think I hear them coming! said Sweetie Belle, "Yep, I see them coming." Said Applebloom, while looking through Fluttershy's window. "Tusk, you need to hide, fast!" Exclaimed Sweetie Belle "I don't get why I would need to hide. Exactly" "we don't wan't you to get hurt Tusk! So can you please just hide?" "Pleeeeeease?" The CMC exclaimed "Alright fine, but where exactly?" I questioned "Uuuuuh... How about that closet?" Said scootaloo Right as Scootaloo suggested that, we heard a knock outside the door, and a very farmer like voice coming from the other side, "Fluttershy! would ya mind openin this 'ere door?" Questioned probably one of Fluttershy's friends. I quickly came to my conclusion on where to hide, "I'll take the closet" I said as I squeezed my way in. "U-uh, j-j-just a m-moment" Fluttershy called. "Listen, Fluttershy darling, we really need you to let us in to make sure you are fine!" I heard a high class voice say, muffled through two sets of door and wall. "U-uh, o-okay". 'Fluttershy, why?' I questioned in my head as I heard the door open. "All right! Where is this thing Fluttershy? Cus if I find it, it wont be standin for a week! cause no one hurts my friends!" "Oh, um Rainbow dash, I don't think that will wont be necessary" Said Fluttershy timidly "Ah sure hope it wont be necessary" Said the orange one as the new five ponies start to seemingly look around for me. 'Well I guess now is the time for observasions' I think as I take a look at the purple one. I notice that this one has both, wings and horn. Now I wonder what she could be? Moving on to the white one, I notice that her main and coat seem to shine. "Must keep clean" I mutter quietly. I move on, seeing how when I look at her, I can't really look. I then notice a very pink and bouncy one. All I know is that I have a bad feeling about her. As I look over to the orange one, a stetson hat immediately catches my attention. Now why would a pony be wearing a hat? Now that is a question for another time. I then look over to to the blue one that threatened me. And I must say, her rainbow main contrast's nicely with her coat. So that must be the Rainbow Dash Fluttershy told me about. Quit easy to identify. I then hear the sound of hooves coming towards the closet that is currently my quite uncomfortable abode. 'Uugh, why does the bad stuff always happen to me?' I question whatever Deity is watching over me. The hoofsteps stop, and the closet door slowly slides open to reveal a rainbow maned pony. "Uuuuuuuh... Nice weather were havin?" I say to the Rainbow maned Pegasus. She slowly blinks to process what is going on, then suddenly shouts, "GET IT!" as she tries to grab my shoulders, but I duck and roll under her hovering body. But by doing so, I gathered every other being in the houses vicinity to notice me. So I run, hurdle Fluttershy's couch, and smash through her window, in turn making me run like mad. I get about ten yards off before a rainbow blur shoots over my head, and lands in front of me. So I stop running towards the pony in front of me, and start to run the other direction. I sprint past fluttershy's cottage and look behind only to notice a rainbow blur come barreling towards me. So I jump, noticing how the pegasus' original intent was to take out my legs, which ended up in her making a long ditch in front of me. I then notice the horned pegasus coming towards me. Or is it winged Unicorn? I'll figure it out later, as of now I need to get away from this purple pony. Suddenly as I am running away, a purple laser whizzes past my head and hits the ground in front of me. "Come back! We only want to ask some questions!" Yelled the pony flying behind me. 'You know, i'm gonna just not respond, considering how she's SHOOTING AT ME!' As another couple of lasers shoot past me, I notice the town that i'm entering. Maybe I can lose her in the streets? There is a lot of screaming happening around me, considering how i'm alien to the ponies around me, and sometimes hurdling over them. As I continue to run through the crowded streets of what I can only assume is the marketplace, considering the stalls, I notice a stall full of apples only a couple of feet away, so I tried to jump, and was to close to it. I ended up clipping most of my feet on it, and make it fall down carrying me with it. As I start to stand, I notice that the orange, purple, and rainbow pony are back, and have surrounded me. I quickly get into a defensive stance and start to back up. But my way out is blocked by the stand I tipped over. "Listen, we don't want any trouble" Said the purple one. "Well, then why did you try to shoot me?" I questioned. "W-well, y-you see, we wanted to bring you to a better place to question you." explained the purple one. "Then why didn't you ask?" I said "BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT YOU WOUOLD TRY SOMETHING" Yelled the rainbow maned one, trying to shake some dirt out of her mane. "What do you even mean try som- CLANG The clones sentence was cut short as a pink pony stepped into view behind the unconscious body of Tusk, holding a frying pan. "And Pinky saves the day again!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie. "Pinkie! Why did you do that?" Questioned Twilight Sparkle "Well, I thought that you Dashie, and applejack could use some help with this... Thing!" Exclaimed pinkie Pie "Well, we didn't okay, we were just going to ask it some questions, then bring it back to the castle." Said Twilight "Ooooh. Whoopsie." Said Pinkie Pie sheepishly "Uuugh. Well, we might as well just carry it back to the castle." Said Twilight, but was cut short of picking up Tusk by the sound of rapidly running hooves. "Twi, (puff) Twilight! Don''t do anything bad to- (puff) Ooh" Rarity said, as she came up to the scene, followed closely by Fluttershy. "What exactly happened here?" Questioned Rarity "Well, I may have made a teensy mistake of nocking this thing unconscious when Twilight was starting to ask it some questions, so now we are taking it back to the castle!" Exclaimed Pinkie Pie "Yes, thank you Pinkie. So like you said, let's continue to take it to the castle." Finished Twilight Dear Princess Celestia I require your help, as a strange alien creature has tooken residence with Fluttershy for the past week, and no one knows the power this alien could possess other than what Rainbow Dash has told us when Scootaloo told her about it. She says it can shoot magical death beams out of a stick! After dragging this... Thing back to the castle, I gave a good hard look at it and got to see it's features. It is a tall creature clad in a strange grey armor that has random olive green half circles on its chest and face, and these strange pads on it's chest that look to be made out of iron, and is roughly 6' tall if what I saw is correct with a face made of a curved T with a frown seemingly plastered to it's face, and also has two tusks at the bottom of it's head... don't know what to do and I would like your assistance in this. The alien is currently in the castle after Pinkie Pie hit in the back of the head with a frying pan, which rendered it unconscious. There is no telling what this alien could do, but I am planning to question it as soon as it wakes up. Your student fellow princess, Twilight Sparkle "Spike! I need you to send this message to Princess Celestia at once!" Said Twilght to a now awake Spike "Sheesh, ok Twilight. Can't a dragon get a decent rest around here?" Said Spike as he sent the letter to Princess Celestia. <><><><><><> 1st Person Tusk As I start to Groggily sit up, I start to get a large headache. "Aagh! Why do I always wake up in pain?" I question nobody. "O-oh! Y-youre awake, that's good." I heard a familiar voice say. "Fluttershy? Is that you?" I question as I my vision slowly comes back "O-oh, yeah. Tusk, those ponies that came into the cottage, and sorta, uuuhh, beat you up, were my friends. And they are all really really sorry to what happened after I explained to them. And they all really want to say sorry face to face." Said Fluttershy "Well, okay I guess, I mean as long as I can get out of this small bed." I Laugh at the irony of this situation. How I keep waking up in small beds, injured. "O-okay, then, right this way." Fluttershy says as she guides me through the long hallways, seemingly made out of crystal. "O-okay, this is where they are." Said Fluttershy, motioning to an intricate and massive set of doors. So I go over to them, and push them open. And the only thing I see is the same bunch of ponies that tried to somewhat kill me sitting on thrones. "Uuuuh... Hi" I say. "Aaaaawkward" I hear the pink pony say.
