After finding a human lost within the Everfree Forest, and unable to find his owner, Ditzy decides to bring him home as a playmate for Dinky. Shenanigans ensue when Dinky learns that her new friend, Locke, can actually talk! But why can none of the adults seem to be able to hear him? Of course, that little fact won't stop her from having fun with her new friend!
This was written partly on a whim, and partly because Chainlinc3 wanted a side story to Your Human and You. Well, here you go, Chainlinc3, here you go...
Chapters (4)
This better not interfere with the original*... Or I will
you up!!!! (
)
*EDIT: as in, the release time for chapters better stay the same.
I have three words for you: "Calvin and Hobbes"
Cant wait to read more 
Huh, interesting. I kinda hope that all this works well. I don't have time to read it, however.
Edit: I led, I read it. I liked it.
You, good sir, are the best. Not of anything in particular, just, the best.
I like it!
Oh dear velociraptor!
It didn't require more than seeing the cover-art that made me want to read this.
Added to read later, and I will sure as hell read this.

My heart dropped at that ending.
And then I remembered that this is a Calivn and Hobbes thing.
...But still...?
3945278 Why would your heart drop?
Calvin and Hobbes idea, nice
I usually don't like the whole humans as pets idea... but this one has a strange cute factor to it.
I like it and await more.
Also, loved Ditzy's response to branding. Would not want to be Nurse Redheart right there.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
..Why does this cover look so familiar? Wait. It's almost the same exact thing as Mr 101's story about a Lich named Damian! Just the characters are different...they're even in the same pose.
EDIT: By the seven hells! It's basically a redrawing of the same thing!
3946239 Huh... who'd a thought?

..Holy...Here's his picture, drawn by himself...
I see what you did there with naming him Locke. In relation to Hobbes from CnH. Both named after Social Contract Theorists who had rival views.
This deserves much more praise.
How old is Locke meant to be anyway?
Please stop writing the original and make this your number one project. This is so incredible.
>> MadMaxtheBlack unless i read too fast, you said that ditzy was a pegasus. you do know that she is a unicorn, right? Derpy is ditzy's mother.
3947774 Derpy's orginal name was Ditzy Doo. The fandom named her "Derpy" because of her eyes and the show makers went with it. I personally find that, even though it is cute, the name "Derpy" doesn't do the mare justice. So, for this story, I am using her original name.
tl;dr: Ditzy Doo = Derpy
Oh, and Dinky Doo is Ditzy's daughter.

I love Calvin and Hobbes! Must. READ!!!!!!
I hope I don't die of DIABEETUS!
Clever, clever.
Naming the human after a prominent British philosopher, much like a certain tiger I could mention.
You, sir, You get a like for making a not quite Calvin and Hobbes pony fic
i see calvin and hobbes

In addition, Calvin was named after John Calvin, who in the 16th century started Calvinism, a secondary offshoot of the Protestant Revolution. Dinky, obviously, was named after the great Equestrian philosopher Dinky Wings, from the 3rd century BC (Before Celestia) who discovered, in contrast to the heliocentric thought at the time, that the sun actually revolves around the Earth.

3947389 NEVER!
...
You have destroyed Calvin and Hobbes for me...
I am sad.
I (like many others, it seems) am sensing a strong Calvin and Hobbes vibe from this. I look forward to it.
Also, I kinda want to know a couple of hypotheticals related to this universe, if you'd be willing to indulge me, Mr. Author -person, Sir. Via PM, if that's alright.
3949218
Your sadness brings me great joy.
3949334
...
Well played.
So, is this canon with the main story or AU to it?
how has this human survived the level of cuteness exposure
he should have died of diabetius by now

I'll trust your words, because your user image is a doctor.
OML yay a Calvin and Hobbes parody story
3945287
Humans don't talk.
"Hi Dinky, I'm Locke!"
EDIT:
Sorry for late response.
3949218 How did Max do this, may I ask?
were you reading Calvin and Hobbes when u got the idea?
Kinda cute, kinda strange.
One thing you may wish to clarify earlier on in the chapter is that these humans are sapient. I thought such wasn't the case, until I reached the chapter's last line.
Following, for now.
The cover is just a redo of calvin and hobbes, right?

This is the first story like this that hasn't made me want to slaughter every non-human on the planet.memegene.net/media/created/rz0g5c.jpg
*squeeeeeeee* I absolutely love this already.
I just know that this story will be awesome.
I also know that any story inspired by Calvin and Hobbes doesn't need a real plot. I dare say, it might even be better without having to follow some larger scheme.
Either way, I can't wait for the next update already.
If this follows the same vein as Calvin and Hobbes, I'll be reading it over and over. Such great memories....
3949286 Feel free to message me whenever you want. I'll always answer as quickly as I can.
3949518 It's a side story that isn't really part of the main story. Basically, they are in the same universe, but neither will affect the other.
3950409 Actually, I got the idea after giving someone who messaged me an example of what I was looking for in a summary. The prompt I sent them was "a human... is found by Derpy, who becomes his owner, and he has adventures with Dinky in a kind of Calvin and Hobbes way". I immediately stole my idea, and went with it, with the help of a friendly bottle of happy juice...
...but yes, I might have been reading some Calvin and Hobbes at the time...
3950532 Yes, yes it is. I shamelessly ripped it off because I have always liked that particular picture
3946933 By Earth standards, Locke is probably around his twenties. By Equestrian standards, he's probably around five years old.
