Take a second look

Finally free... I think?

Well, here we are again, same old surroundings, same old library and same old questions. Why can't Sparkly allow me to walk outside of this library?! Sure, I can probably keep myself occupied for a while, I have my phone and solar charger for optimum music and game time, one small problem... Sparkly won't let me go outside! No sunlight, no charge. Also I need my fresh air, it's been a week since the initial 'interview' but it seems even though I'm trusted to not cause any mischief and trouble, my being here itself will do those for me, it doesn't help that I don't have anyone to talk to, since it seems that Skittles has a job to clear skies and stuff like that and Apple has her own job getting apples.

Question, after question, after question. Twilight never gets tired of this situation, I tried everything! Told her about wars, told her about different gods from different cultures, told her about fiction and how everything in this world was fiction in ours, HA! That face of hers at the time was priceless. Even tried scare tactics and meat eating, anything and everything I tried was fruitless and only harbored more questions

"Ugh, Sparkly, when can I see the outside?"

"Anon, I have a proper name you know? Can you please start calling me correctly?" she groaned as she continued writing some form of letter, she says it was for that princess Celestia person... er... pony

"When you let me outside, now can we please go outside for once? I promise to stay civil."

"We still don't know what kind of effect you'll bring to this world and unless we can prove to the other ponies that you're safe, then it's best for you to stay here, for the safety of both parties."

"OR I could copy Skittles or Apple and we can go outside."

"Anon, that's a... actually not a bad idea. How did I not think of that?"

"Next time Sparkly, more thinking, less writing." I huffed all my exasperation away with a slap to the forehead as I tried to remember what Apple looked like and soon there after, asked Sparkly if it was done correctly

"You really don't know if your own powers work?" pen and paper with her as she headed down from the second floor

"Well, if I use it myself, I'd know, but I never tried on ponies so it might not go well as expected."

"What about that time with copying me?" still writing something down, but hey, at least she's making the most out of that pen

"Subconscious, don't notice it acting up from time to time." I shrugged

"Well, you've got Applejack down for maybe except two minor details..."

"And?"

"Her Mane and tail are blonde, not... what did you call it? Skittles? and also she doesn't have wings." she pointed out using the pen which she levitated with her magic. Man I would pay a lot for that kind of thing just to help me find the remote. "But maybe this is better? You don't have to copy any pony and you'll have just have to think up a story for who you are, that way no one gets suspicious of how and why either Rainbow or Applejack were suddenly appearing out of nowhere... we don't need another pony like that." she silently groaned, must be imagining something?

I shook my head "No can do, unless I do it unconsciously or I copy someone else, or somepony else, the power will go haywire, using this consciously is harder than it looks if I can't see what my copy version look like, I might suddenly think of an afro or some poofy hair and POOF, my mind will unconsciously add that... It was added wasn't it?" she facepalmed... correction 'hoofed' as she groaned and nodded

"Your power is too random, you would be a great friend for Pinkie and that might be the scariest thing to happen..."

"Were you talking about me?"

"Uwaah!" I stumbled from my chair in the kitchen when a sudden voice popped out of nowhere from behind me, there was no one in this room before except for me, the space is small so I definitely would have notice someone sneaking up behind me, also adding the fact that the only way in here was through the doorway which Twilight just entered a few moments ago

"Pinkie, don't you know when to knock?!"

"Sorry Twilight, but that would ruin the surprise. Who's this?" she looked at me funnily as I tried to stand up from the floor followed by a small whimper from me because of the aching I'm feeling from my back, by the looks of it, my 'mixture' of the two ponies was the form she was looking at

"She looks like Rainbow Dash and AppleJack together! Rainbow Jack? Apple Dash? OH! maybe Rainbow Apple? Mmm... That sounds delicious... Rainbow Apples..." while she was fantasizing about her said 'fruit', I got the time to stand up and looked at Twilight's direction

"Well you see, Pinkie, she's uh... A cousin of Rainbow Dash.. Yeah! She's a cousin of Rainbow Dash who is now visiting to meet us, Rainbow's friends... yeah..." she roughly laughed while I facepalmed at her 'explanation', granted that it was very on-the-spot but even a child could make up a better excuse, but the pink pony just guffawed at her and her explanation

"Sorry Twilight, I was just messing with you, I know he's not a pony, he's not even a she!" she looked at me and held a hoof out "Nice to meet you Mr.Anon! My name's Pinkie Pie, and you and I are going to be best buddies! This is the first time I'll be friends with a human! How exciting!" I shook her hoof with my hand as I concentrated to remove the illusion of the 'mixture'

"Pinkie, I know this is not the most logical solution to knowing, but I'll ask you anyway, how did you know all that?!" Twilight yelled out, her eye twitching

"Oh, that? I read the first chapter." Me and Twilight looked at her curiously

"What first chapter?"

"Well, DUH? The first chapter of this story of course! Look!" she showed us what seemed to be a diary of some sort, opened up to a page that simply told about a part of my life, including how I got here, I took the book from her grasp and looked at it curiously

"Where did you even get this?!" I yelled out, this is some serious stuff! How did anyone even know about all this?! as I tried to change it to another page, but it was quickly taken from me as she held a hoof in the air

"You can't look at the other contents! Even I don't do that! Well... not anymore, but still!"

"Why?"

"It'll ruin the suspense of course!"

"Okaay? Then what about all those nicknames? Why say them when you actually know who I really was?" I scratched my head a few times, this was both really weird and really freaky at the same time. What the heck is that book?!

"It would make things funnier!" she smiled which was really adorable and I could swear to god I heard this weird 'squee' sound when she did! The longer I stay in this world... The longer I feel my manliness flying away from me... Haaa I sighed

"What's the matter Anon?" she seemed to catch me sighing but I wave her off

"It's nothing, anyways nice to meet you too Pinkie." I held my hand out and she gripped it, into a handshake. Yes. GRIPPED it, I don't even have the energy to ask.

"Look Twilight, Pinkie here is fine with me, so shouldn't I be fine?"

"Negative Anon, Pinkie's is uhh... more accepting towards mishaps and other various events, but the ponies here are not."

"Well then, how am I supposed to get outside?" I pondered while doing a 'thinker' pose which for the few minutes I noticed Pinkie trying to imitate, I smiled I like this girl

"Hey, Twilight!" I grabbed her attention

"Yeah?"

"Me and Pinks here seems to hit it off quite fine, can I keep her?" I grabbed Pinkie and brought her up to face Twilight while still being carried by me, something like a kid who picked up a puppy and showed the mother about wanting to keep it, and better yet Pinkie was actually willing to cooperate

"Uhh, not sure if you noticed but... Pinkie isn't a cat or dog you picked up, she has a life of her own and she can take care of herself, unlike you however, can not." me and Pinkie both looked sad for a moment but when she and I looked at each other we both got the same idea. I am really starting to like this girl... she did say 'you and I are going to be best friends' after all... wait how was she so sure we're going to be best friends? sure we're friendly towards each other but... is this about that book?! I shook off the thought when Pinkie called Twilight back

"What is it now you two? I'm still finding a way to be able to get Anon outside without him using his powers." she saw the looks we were giving her as she continued "I thought I told you two that you cant already."

"No it's not like that, since I can't keep Pinks, we decided... She keep me instead!" Twilight's jaw dropped, if it could get any lower it would probably hit the floor but she shook it off as she sighed

"I'm tired of dealing with your shenanigans Anon, adding Pinkie to that is bound to be a headache so I won't even bother giving you a reaction." but even though she said this, me and Pinkie were already snickering

"Well, we got nothing to do, what do you suggest we do now Pink?"

"I don't know" she shrugged

"Got any games on you?" she smiled widely again and I still freaking hear that 'squee' sound!

"Do I?!"

A few moments passed with me and Pinkie playing some board games that she got out of her mane. I don't know how she does it, but for me it's like a woman's bag.

When suddenly Twilight entered the room and told us "I found a perfect, but long and tiring way for you to be introduced here in Ponyville without the mass chaos." she still sounded despondent, I guess me and Pinkie together really will mess with her head?

"I figured that the best course of action would be is to let you meet the other elements of harmony bearers, we're kind of known as saviors but it's not really much, at the very least if you had us to vouch for you then you'll have a better chance of being accepted." she sighed

"Hey, that's a great plan! I met Skittles and Apple already, you and Pinks here makes four... so the other two are the mystery?"

"And that's where the problem might begin..." she sighed again, This is really either Sparkly being too over dramatic... or a very scary foreboding for me... I gulped... This could be a bumpy ride.

Off the my left Pinkie was reading a book when she suddenly clapped her front hooves together and said "OH! So that's why Twilight is so tired." I looked at her a little more focused and found out she was reading that same darn book

"Hey! I thought you shouldn't read the next pages?!" I tried to grab the book from her grasp but she just lightly stepped back from my reach and put her tongue out and grinned

"I was curious!"

"That's not fair Pinks! Let me see!" we started having a game of cat and mouse inside the library, Twilight just sighed again as she thought 'I just hope this goes well.'

Author's Note:

I actually wanted to make Pinkie say

"Well, the author of this story has read a few cheesy stories about AppleDash and wanted to make a jab at the said stories" but decided against adding it... It will definitely ruin the plan I have for the story if Pinkie was too 4th wall breaking (mostly about story and author jabs) ... or I could make Pinkie not appear so much if she was a 4th wall breaker (like I said before)... but who doesn't like Pinkie?!

I for one Love her and her ability of breaking the 4th wall...
