Anonymous goes to a cafe and takes a chance on approaching a cold looking mare.

This is just a bit of nonsense I wrote on a whim. Feel free to tear it apart!

You find find narrations for both chapters here:

Chapter 1

Chapter 2

It's narrated by Forgotten Dreams, Mica, Wuten, and Agent0Fluffy! Thanks lads!

This story is a sequel to Pirate Hats and Whatnot

Time flows on, the seasons change, and Anon continues to acclimate to his new life in a bizarre land of marshmallow horses. Thankfully, even in such a strange world, there are still some familiar truths he can depend on. The sun will rise in the east each day, the bare trees will soon be covered by brilliant green leaves, and the songbirds will return to the forest near his home at the first hint of spring...

Yes, even in a new world, there are certainties. And though he may not yet realize it, the fact that he lives in the same town as a particular pink pony means his latest plan to catch fish is most certainly going to be interrupted.

Anon attempts to catch fish despite Pinkie Pie and Applejack's interruptions.

You've had your eyes set on Applejack for a long time. Maybe your best friend Rainbow Dash can help you earn Applejack's heart. You wouldn't see why not. Besides, she's your best bro. Right?

A/N Hi guys, this is just a short story I wrote in about an hour, HOPE YOU ENJOY! (I'd like to thank everyone who likes this, thanks for getting it featured)

You have lived in Equestria for some time now, around five or so years. You never meant to come here it just kinda happened. The first few months were a living hell for you, you were attacked because most thought you were a monster. This continued until you were captured by the Royal Guard and brought to meet Celestia and Luna. You explained your situation and over time you became friends, but that didn't stop the fact that you were ridiculed and attacked whenever you left the castle, and so in time you became content with staying within the confines of the castle. But one day guards showed up to your room and put you in chains...

"You" profess your love for the most beautiful mare you've ever known, but in the game of love, not everything ends happily ever after.

I suppose I should give some explanation for this story...
It's not meant to be taken too seriously. I would describe it as a parody of happy-go-lucky second person fics but with a serious tone. I never expected this story to end up as heavy as it is, and I think that will cause people to miss the purpose of this story.
In short, it's a response to second person fics rather than one in itself. When I say "response," I don't mean I'm mocking them. I'm commenting on the typical scenario most have.

[Second Person Perspective]

Once a year, you come around with a simple task. Most of the time, it means nothing. You are normally dismissed without another thought.

However, when you find out Princess Luna has been asking for you, you can't help but worry that something is wrong.

(Scene written for confirmed-by-voting best pony Luna. A bit of a mystery fic. See what details you can glean from the dialogue to determine who the character is and what they are talking about.)

It was supposed to be an easy delve. In, explore, and out.

Instead Daring Do finds herself wandering through an endless corridor, wishing for nothing more than to see the sky once more. And when she reaches the end of the maze, she discovers something waiting for her that hasn't felt the sun for a long, long time. Something very lonely.

And hungry.

Home to a wide variety of species and their various communities, the planet Equus is shared peacefully between prey and predators alike.

And, in her ever present benevolence, Princess Celestia has kept an open door policy on immigration into her, almost, Utopian country for years. So when a fumbling Anon suddenly appeared in Canterlot one day nobody panicked, he was peacefully taken to the Princess and explained his predicament to her. Understanding his situation, the Princess informed him that she would try her hardest to help him, but that it could also be awhile before there was any major progress in that effort.

So, with nothing better to do, the human applied for the reasonably easy Equestrian citizenship. Princess Celestia, hearing about this, decided to help Anon with his efforts and sent the human to Ponyville under her former pupil's charge, believing that it would be easier on him and to help the lonely human make some good friends along the way.

If only she knew how much suffering would come from that foolish decision.
