Chapter seven: Just a normal afternoon in Ponyville. If it can be called "normal"…
It's been a month since i'm lost here. Twilight is still searching for a magical spell to send me back to home, Flutershy started to talk to me often, my arm doesn't hurt anymore, and most important thing is that i started to hang out with Dash.
I like to walk around with her, we often go to the park, and i watch her performing some cool air tricks.
She say she want to train for an epic sonic rainboom, so she will be accepted into the Wonderbolts. Every time she say like so, i always respond with a augury of good luck!
I remember that afternoon, it was July the 7th. A warm day, for being summer. Threes were colorful, with flowers, the grass was green, and somehow that reminded me of a Pink Floyd's song. It was a beautiful day, that got 20% cooler when Rainbow performed one of her best tricks: a slalom through the whole town and a rainbow. It was awesome. Describing it with word is almost impossible. Awesome doesn't describe it very well, but it's the nearest word.
When she landed in front of me, with an epic stance of success, i was just staring at her, with my mouth open.
"Pretty cool, uh?" She said
"I don't know how to describe it… "Awesome" goes near, but it's not the right word… "
"Eheh, you should see the look on your face! It's priceless!" And she laughed.
"Yeah, aha, i wonder how my face looks like too!"
"Well, i'm a little hungry. Wanna come with me at the Sugar Cube Corner?"
"Of course!"
"Wanna race?"
"I know you will beat me! But i'll race with you anyway!"
10 seconds later she was already at the shop, and i was at 30 feet from the start. Well, my top speed is around 5 MPH, Dash's one is around 3.800 MPH, so i think she will always win any race. With a human!
She came back, and we met at half a way.
"Too slow! AHAHAHAHAHHA!!!"
"Well, you go at around 4.000 MPH so…"
"I know, right? So, when we…" She stopped, looking terrified.
"When we what?"
"L-l-l-look over there!" She pointed to a pony buying some stuff...
"It's a dark blue alicorn, so?"
"Sh-sh-she's NIGHTMARE MOON!!!"
"And so? She's just buying something at that stall… I don't see anything wrong with it!"
She just hided behind a bush.
"Look, i'll show you that she's harmless, ok?"
So i walked to Princess Luna, i don't know why Rainbow was so scared and why she called her "Nightmare Moon" even if she's no longer that alicorn…
"Hello miss Luna!" I greeted
"HELLO TO YOU, STRANGER!!!!" She screamed.
My ears just got raped…
"M-m-my ears…" i said
"I'm sorry, i'm used to talk in Royals tone… Aren't you the "human" that my sister talk about?"
"Yes it's me."
"Well, good to see that you're fine. But now i have to go. SEE YOU LATER, STRANGER. AND THANKS FOR THE APPLES, SALESMAN!!!!!"
And she flew away. God dammit my ears…
I walked back to Rainbow Dash, and this time, she was the one with the mouth open!
"See? Except the voice's tone, she's like any other pony here in Equestria. No need to be afraid of her!"
"That was AWESOME! You just walked to her, and greeted her without even being scared!"
"I told you she was harmless. Nightmare Moon is only an old story now…"
"Well, guess you're right…"
"So, are we gonna go to Sugar Cube Corner or you just want to stand here staring at nothing?"
"No, i'm coming…"
"You lead!"
We got at Mr and Mrs Cakes shop, and Pinkie Pie was there welcoming us.
"Hi! What can i do for you?!" She said, bouncing around, like always
"Well, we came here to eat something sweet and…" Pinkie didn't let Rainbow finish her sentence
"What about CUPCAKES!?" She said.
I froze. Terrified. My brain just crashed like a Windows Vista while processing the word "cupcakes"...
"C…c…cupcakes?" I barely said
"Yes! Rainbow colored cupcakes, just for you two!" She said, smiling.
Dash looked at me: "Something wrong?"
"Yes, you don't look so good…"
I then rebooted my brain, realizing that Rainbow was next to me and not in the cupcakes.
"Yes, i'm ok."
"Good!" Rainbow said.
"So, want some cupcakes?" Pinkie asked.
"Ok, i'll take one, and you Dash?"
"One too."
We ate the cupcakes at the park. She then take off and get to his home, saying that she was late for her favorite show. That reminds me of an episode of "The Cleveland Show"…
So i just walked around. Still looking for something to do.
"What can i do? I don't want to be an obstacle to ponies, i have to help them back… somehow…" I said, probably out loud because AppleJack trotted to me.
"Ya could help us at Sweet Apple Acres! We always need some help for some works, and Ah ain't gonna do it all alone, or let mah brother do that alone too!"
I nodded in agreement.
"Follo' me."
We got at the farm. Big Mac greeted me, he knows me, almost everyone in Ponyville know me now. I wasn't a stranger anymore!
"So, what do i have to do?" I asked
"Well, Ah noticed that some apples don't want to fall from trees when i buck them, but you're taller than me, so Ah think that ya could get on the tree and take off that apples! Big Mac will help ya."
"Eeyup" Big Machintosh said
"Ok, where do i start?"
"East field, over there." And she pointed me the HUGE field of apple's trees. At least i didn't had to do it all alone…
So i started to climb on the trees, shaking the leaves, picking up the apples. Good thing it wasn't that hard. Else i could die! I'm not an athletic guy, i barely do something, but i wanted to help, and that gave me the force to continue doing it.
Being different doesn't mean i can't help!
We managed to finish this work at the sunset.
"So, we finished?" I asked
"Eeyup" Big Mac answered
"Good. But i need something to drink, my throat is dry…"
"Sure, follo' me to the house."
We got at the house, there was granny Smith, sleeping.
"Here's a glass of water." He said, quietly
"Thanks" I said.
"And here's some bits for the help, Ah really appreciate it! And Mah sis' too."
"Well, thanks again!"
I drunk it, took the bits, greeted him, and left the farm to go to Fluttershy's home.
I got there at around 7 PM, 'Shy was putting the chickens into the chicken's coop.
"Hi…" She said, i could barely hear that.
"Hi 'Shy"
I got indoor, she was still managing with the chickens.
After dinner, i got to bed. And slept.
