Over the course of Sunday, you’d done quite a few things with your new housemate, Chrysalis. For one, you explained to her of where she is and moreover what you are exactly, surprisingly, she took it as more informative than confusing since you’d only helped her fill the missing pieces of the puzzle that she didn’t understand about you. You also taught her the daily grind of how to work the diner and the bar. She said she wanted to stay but didn’t want to be holed up alone in one place while you’re gone so you offered her a slot to work in the diner as well. It’s a win win situation for everyone and one more coworker couldn’t hurt the establishment, it’ll even help it function better. She was reluctant about it at first, but accepted it anyway after a while. She learned surprisingly fast on how to cook the menu. Clearly it’s nowhere near your level but it’s still pretty good. She didn’t exactly like the idea of working the register but you assigned her there anyway, mostly to help her become more open to other people and also because you’ll have to maintain the quality of the food you serve. You’ll teach her more about cooking as time goes on and she seems to tolerate working the register despite hating it. You’ve somehow trained her already to at least be nice to customers when serving them, mostly because of how you pay her on the head and tell her of what good a job she’s doing to which she lightly blushes and smiles at.
Last night was something else though. You already gave Chrysalis her own room but out of nowhere in the middle of the night she just silently went to your room and tucked herself under your sheets without saying a word, she probably didn’t even know you were awake at the time. The morning after when you both woke up, she just timidly asked if the both of you could share your room. Without a negative reason in you mind, you agreed to her request.
This is the morning now, Monday morning. You’re in bed with Chrysalis beside you and an alarm just went off signifying it’s 5:45 AM. You had to be a little earlier today just to do one last prep for Chrysalis just to warm her up on the ropes. Though your body is rejecting the will to get up as the warm bed once more invites you to a comfy slumber. Your roommate on the other hand is already up and moving about eager to make you proud.
“C’mon Anon, it’s my first day at work. We gotta get up.”
“...not yet… too tired.” you lightly groan.
It’s another ritual of yours playing out right now, the Monday ritual. It can happen at any time you wake up but it’s most prominent in Monday mornings. You could just up and start moving at any time but you’d really rather stay in bed right now since it’s so relaxing to the body.
Chrysalis, on the other hand, has already resorted to physical solutions over bargaining with you. Despite her efforts and large structure, she’s still not strong enough to even push you to roll off the bed. She pouts at her failure and just heads for the door, “Fine, I’ll just get the day started on my own. Come down when you’re ready.” she fumingly says just before turning away from you to head downstairs.
Right before she can even get the door open, you launch multiple divine chains from your arms towards her. They wrap her up and pull her towards you. As they disappear, Chrysalis is now tightly locked between your arms.
“A-Anon!!! L-L-Let go!!!” she disapprovingly retorts in surprise.
“It’s a bit cold, besides, you know you’re enjoying this.” you playfully tease her a bit.
“N-No I’m not! Just go use your blanket or something!”
“There’s no blanket warmer than a hug, Chrys. Always remember that.”
She squirms a bit more only for you to encompass her whole form as you hug her whole body. She stops eventually realizing the futility of her actions and decides to enjoy your embrace while she can as she blushes in silence.
You’re both drifting to sleep now until the familiar sound of a bell rings from downstairs. “Anon?” you and Chrysalis hear the voice of a mare you recognize, it’s Vinyl.
“Well, I suppose good things must always come to an end.” you say with a heavy sigh as you get up from your bed.
“Darn, and I was just getting comfy too.” Chrysalis whispers to herself.
“What was that?” you promptly ask.
“I said let’s go.”
“Well, alright then.”
You’re both dressed into uniform now but a significant thought comes to mind once you’re at the door to your room. “Chrys, wait. Change into a pony.”
Chrysalis realized why before she could even ask and then shapeshifts into a pink unicorn with a blonde mane. You could only suppose she chose a unicorn so she could use magic in public, but why a pink coat? Chrysalis, on the other hand, remembered seeing your photo with Pinkie Pie the other day and she figured your type of mare would be pink.
“Sorry, but I like mares with a pink mane too.” you tease her a bit.
“I didn’t do this for you.” Chrysalis lies pouting.
Well whatever then. “Alright, let’s go.”
The both of you make your way downstairs and before any greetings are exchanged you’re slammed onto the ground by a hug from a gray mare. It looks like Octavia took the job too.
“Thank you… so so much.” Octavia says in tears of gratefulness and joy.
Nothing else is said as you try to breath for air and Vinyl just chuckles at the little tableue. Chrysalis is just confused at the sight. You just get up after a bit when Octavia lets you go and you tell Chrysalis, “New coworkers, just like you.”
“You hired more people?” Vinyl queries.
“Makes the place less lonely. Now for some quick introductions. Vinyl and Octavia, this is-” you stop forgetting that she doesn’t have an alias yet. “Sunshine… Muffins.” you tried to think of the most pony name you can and that’s the first thing that came to mind. Chrysalis just blushes lightly at your statement. Sounds like she doesn’t like the name, but she can tolerate it.
Octavia was keen enough to realize that the two of you came from upstairs, which she figured is your house and home. “You two live together?” she asks as she and Vinyl peer intensely at the two of you.
Well no point in hiding any secrets, so you might as well joke around a bit. “Well she’s not just a pony, she’s my wife.”
Vinyl, Octavia and Chrysalis are blushing with Chrysalis having the wildest of the three. “Haha, no, she’s not my wife. The two of us do live together though, she’s my roommate.” you hastily reply before any other assumptions are made. “She’s also gonna help me man the counter and soon enough the kitchen.” you continue.
“Pleased to meet you. I’m Octavia Melody.” Octavia greets to Chrysalis.
“Me too. I’m Vinyl Scratch.” Vinyl does the same.
“Sunny, they’ll be working on the tunes of the place, it could really use some sounds.” Chrysalis turns to you with a shy look of euphoria, it looks like she likes her nickname.
Well then, time to work. “Alright, show time. Sunny, man the register. Octavia and Vinyl, work your tunes by that corner.” you point to the corner of the diner and summon a small stage that takes up the empty space that was once there. “Play some happy catchy tunes for now, the foals come early to grab a quick snack or packed lunch so it fits the mood.”
They all nod in agreement as they walk towards their stations. Octavia brings out her cello and Vinyl is setting up her equipment. Chrysalis is just standing in wait by the register. You can already tell this’ll be a great change of pace.
It’s been a couple of hours already and things are going great. The music really got ponies in the groove and your customers increased by margins. Your customer demographic increased by a lot from this morning alone and Chrysalis manning the register made the line run smoothly. She did her best to keep a cheery attitude and held up at that end of her work, but she still doesn’t like it. It’ll come naturally to her eventually when you turn her into a good pony from evil, but that time is not today. She’s still doing a good job and the ponies seem to like her, especially the little foals. She may be putting on a bit of a mask for now, but it warms your heart knowing that being nice will be her norm eventually. She got a little flustered when Pinkie came by earlier though, and she didn’t like how buddy buddy you were with her. She gave disapproving glances at the two of you who happened to hug at this particular morning. At the very least she doesn’t seem to hate Pinkie but rather envies her, she just seemed outright shy and evasive when Pinkie talked to her. Pinkie actually liked Chrysalis. She always likes new ponies despite her being a bit shy, you can see a good friendship forming between them soon enough.
As time goes by, Rarity enters the diner when things were simmering down a bit. There’s a couple customers left and that leaves more than enough room for a bit of a chat. Though it looks like she’s with someone else, someone smaller. That must be Sweetie Belle, she looks like how Rarity described her to you before.
“My word, darling!” Rarity is baffled at your improvements to the diner. You’re not sure how she takes you hiring employees without her consent, but you’re pretty darned sure she’s liking the music and the large crowd of ponies swarming the diner earlier.
“You like jazz?” you ask freely as you snap your fingers towards them. That sends a signal to Octavia and Vinyl to actually play some groovy jazz. It’s a fine tune, and a catchy one as well.
“This is… this is simply divine!” Rarity glees joyfully.
“I’m glad you like it, and I hope you don’t mind me hiring coworkers.”
“Not at all, it’s your diner after all. I do like the music though, don’t you Sweetie Belle?”
“Well it’s certainly music to my ears.”
Looks like introductions are in order. “I’m Anon, you must be Sweetie Belle.” you greet gesturing your hand over to her.
She shakes it enthusiastically, “Yup, that’s me.”
“This is Sunshine Muffins, I met her a few days ago and she was looking for a job.”
M“Hi there.” Chrysalis shyly greets.
“This is Rarity, our employer.”
“Good day to you Mrs. Muffins.” Rarity greets back.
“Oh, i-it’s actually Ms.” Chrysalis quickly corrects.
“My apologies, dear. You simply looked like a mother.”
“Well… I’m not, so…” Chrysalis accepts the apology shying out.
“Well she definitely would make a good one if she were.” you quip getting you a flustering blush from Chrysalis as she hides behind her hair. You all get a good laugh from her reaction.
“So what brings you here on this fine day?” you ask Rarity when things start to simmer down.
“Well I’d been hearing bustling all morning and I figured it came from your diner, but it was louder than usual so me and Sweetie Belle decided to come by and see what’s all the ruckus and maybe grab some lunch on the way. I most certainly didn’t expect there to be music though, it looks like it’s done quite a good number on your sales.”
“Our sales, Rarity. Also I got a feeling that’s not all, I feel like she’s got some business to do here.” you point at Sweetie Belle.
“Keen as ever I see.” Rarity compliments right before motioning Sweetie Belle to talk to you.
“We were given an assignment in school the other day and I’ve been having a hard time doing it.” she wearily explains.
“Well what is it? Not creature experimentation I hope.” you quip.
“Actually, I need to make a friend.”
That does make sense. It’s hard to get connected with people outside town and everyone in Ponyville practically knows everyone already, except for an oddity such as you of course.
“Yeah, I’ve got time.”
“Yaaay!” Sweetie Belle shouts in excitement after days of searching for someone new. She could’ve just asked her sister for help but the thought didn’t cross her mind until she was out of ideas.
“Well then, here’s some packed lunch to go, Rarity.” you say while pulling out a delicious meal from the void of the atmosphere. “It tastes good, I hope you like it.” you continue.
“I will as usual. Goodbye, Anon. Goodbye my wittle Sweetie Belle. I’ve got work to do.” Rarity bids her goodbye while Sweetie Belle is clearly miffed at her sister’s remark of her, though she drops it seconds later.
“So what do you want to do today?” she asks right after Rarity leaves the diner.
“Well it’s your assignment so I figure you go fire… buuuut I suppose there are some places I always wanted to go to during the day.”
“Like where?”
“Like the school, and other places.” you explain.
“Well, what are we waiting for?”
“Lunch.” which you just snap into existence three large sandwiches.
“Why’s there three? You know I can’t eat that much.” Sweetie Belle laughs a bit.
“Because you’ll be making two friends today.”
“Who is it?”
“Well it’s none other than my mare, Sunny.”
“Really?!” Chrysalis and Sweetie Belle asks loudly in shock. Chrysalis because she’s baffled and Sweetie Belle because she’s excited.
“Yup, and there’s no time like the present so let’s go.” you explain as you hastily make your way to the diner’s door.
“B-But it’s my first day here and we wouldn’t have enough arms working.” Chrysalis reasons out genuinely trying to be of help to the diner.
“Not to worry.” You summon up another you in your station. “Work hard, other me. Double time.”
“I’ll make it quadruple time. All I have to do is slow down time by half and speed up my muscle motors by two times.” the other you explains.
“That’s what I like to hear.” Rarity already explained to Sweetie Belle of your capabilities so she isn’t too baffled, though she is entertained. “And while you’re at it, can you teach them the thing?” you motion towards Octavia and Vinyl. It’s the first anyone’s heard of this so even they look surprised.
“Will do, chief.”
“Alright, here we go again.” you say striding out the diner as Sweetie Belle follows and Chrysalis just defeatingly follows.
You’ve never really been to Twilight’s school yet here you are now with Sweetie Belle and Chrysalis. Chrysalis hates being here but she’s doing her best not to show it and just tries to make herself more comfortable around you. It’s Monday and it’s no surprise that the school is bustling, but you do like the idea of school activities that are based on trust and let you roam around to do so like Sweetie Belle is doing with you right now. It really promotes their ideologies and emits more freedom to its students. There’s also all sorts of species here, yet as usual, quite a majority of them stop to take a look at you and some even give a little wave before going on about their day. In just a little bit, the halls empty and the students and staff either leave the school for outside activities or go to their respective classrooms.
“Let’s roam around a bit why don’t we?” you suggest seeing that the school is rather large.
“Sure, what about you Sunshine?” Sweetie Belle agrees then concerningly asks.
“Alright then… I suppose.”
“Great, lead the way Sweetie Belle.”
A majority of the time is just Sweetie Belle explaining to you and Chrysalis the areas of the school such as who works where and all the history she knows of the place.
“This is the teachers conference room where our teachers do their work outside classes.” Sweetie Belle enlightens both of us.
“Let’s take a little peek in, shall we?”
“Oh, we’re not supposed to go in there.” Sweetie Belle tells you while you’re already a few steps in the offfice.
“Anon!” Chrysalis lightly shouts at you as a failed attempt to keep you from the room.
You forced both of their cards to be played and they sneak into the room catching up to you. Luckily and sadly, there’s no one in the room.
“Anon, we need to get out of here!” Sweetie Belle forcefully pleads to you.
“It’ll be bad if we get caught.” Chrysalis supports.
“Ladies, there’ll be a time when you realize that following the rules won’t always bring about the best outcome.” you kneeled down to get on their level.
“But aren’t rules made for that reason?” Sweetie Belle asks curiously in doubt.
“Just… trust me, you’ll see.”
“Are you sure?”
“I cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”
“Well if you put it that way then... I trust you.”
You give her a little hug of reassurance and looking past her withers, you see a confused little Chrysalis tilting her head at you. She most probably doesn’t know about the concept of a “Pinkie Promise”. You walk up to her and put a hand by her shoulders, “I’ll tell you all about it later.”
You leave both of them to their own thoughts as you explore the office on your own. Taking a look around you see that all the cubicles and desks are filled with stacks of paperwork, looks like they’re extremely busy with their work. You can see their dedication and passion to their job with the little gifts from their students decorated on their desks and the encouraging comments they give as they check some papers. That’s… very sweet.
The comforting silence is instantly broken by the sound of snoring… and more specifically the sound of a snoring Rainbow Dash. The three of you perk up immediately and you motion for them to keep quiet and leave the room in case Rainbow Dash suddenly wakes up. Once they leave you sneak up near Rainbow Dash. From the drool and tired look on her face, you can tell she’s sleeping very peacefully. You do a little memory flashback from Rainbow Dash and it looks like she’s been checking papers all morning and she fell asleep in the middle of doing so. Just as you thought, they have true dedication to their job and that’s… very… very sweet. Quickly you summon up a warm cozy blue blanket and cover her up until her neck. She cozies up a bit to it by wiggling around slightly and giving a content smile on her face. How adorable.
Just then, Rarity comes in from a door on the other side of the room and you conceal yourself of your presence so she won’t see you. If she did then you’d be breaking your Pinkie Promise since she’d probably get upset with you for trespassing and snooping around without their permission, and that’s not a promise you’d want to break.
While you hide, you see Rarity drop some files by her desk and notice a snoozing Rainbow Dash. With a smile on her face she walks up next to her and gives her a little nuzzle by the neck and a kiss on the cheek. You’d do the same but you’re just not that close to her as friends yet because she’s really that undeniably adorable right now.
Rarity is now heading for the door from which you came in. You take a quick picture of Rainbow Dash right before teleporting outside the room next to Chrysalis and Sweetie Belle just in time to get there just as Rarity does.
“Hey there, Rarity.” you immediately call out as to lower suspicion despite the surprise from all three of them.
“Oh my, what are you three doing out here?”
“Just… taking a look around.” Sweetie Belle truthfully answers.
“We decided to spend the day here since I haven’t been here before.” you further continue to fill her in.
“Well have a good day then, I’m gonna be late for class. Would you three mind joining me until I get there.”
“Why not?” Chrysalis finally answers as to not be too quiet throughout the day despite the reluctance in her words.
The walk mostly was awkward silence and you broke it up by telling a few tales of your own from way back when you were in your own world.
Sweetie Belle and Rarity tell their fair share of stories too as Chrysalis just keeps quiet considering she can’t exactly tell much stories of her own.
“I suppose this is where we part ways.” Rarity glumly points out.
“Seems like it, take care Rarity.” you lastly bid her.
“Bye, sis.” Sweetie Belle follows suit.
“Goodbye.” Chrysalis straightly says.
“I hope to see all of you soon, and I’ll see you sooner Sweetie Belle.” Rarity finally ends the quick little meetup as she enters her classroom where slowly dimming noise can be heard until a unified greeting is made by the class.
“Well that was nice.” you say to break up the immersion to which Sweetie Belle and Chrysalis nod at. Before anything else is said, the classroom nearby catches your eye. Looking in, it’s Applejack lecturing a class most probably about Honesty. She’s speaking for a bit until she notices you from out the window and then exuberantly gestures you to come in with a large smile on her face. You look back to Sweetie Belle and Chrysalis and it looks like they’re just as confused as you are. Might as well then you suppose, “I’ll be back in a bit, have fun you two.” you bid them as you pat Sweetie Belle and lightly wave Chrysalis off.
You enter and your presence make the class’ confusion shift to joy. It’s their favorite cook, Anon, which is you of course. You’re already known enough around the kids for the whole class to at least have heard your name once. With a wave and a smile to the kids, you walk up to Applejack.
“Howdy, Applejack.” you tease her lightly getting you an audible chuckle from the class and an amused look from her.
“Good to see you’ve got a sense of humor. What brings you here, Anon?”
“I was strolling by with Sweetie Belle and a friend of mine since it’s her assignment to make a new friend. I figured we should come visit since I’ve only heard stories about this place. I’d say it’s pretty cool from what I’ve seen so far. Anyhoo, why’d you call me?”
“Nothing really, Sugarcube. Just wanted ta give you a warm welcome.”
Oh, well that was sweet despite short lived… but… maybe it doesn’t have to be. You’d turn to the door and leave but an idea comes to mind. “Hey Applejack, this is an honesty class right?”
“Yeah, why do ya ask?” she curiously asks.
“Mind if I stay a bit for a Q and A?” you speak louder so the class can hear as Applejack does the same.
“Why, that sounds like a mighty fine idea Anon. I’m sure we could spare a bit of time for that.” her acceptance is only further approved by the cheers of the crowd among you.
With a smile on your face, you grab a chair from the small stage you and Applejack are on and sit on it backwards with your arms rested on its back. “For those who don’t know, I’m Anonymous. Anon for short. So who’s first?”
A classical question comes up as a random creature inquires, “What are you?”
With little time and many questions, you decide to answer them as shortly but honestly as possible. “I’m basically a God but I’m a human.”
“What’s that mean?” another different one follows up.
“It means I’m like Discord.”
“You mean THE Discord?”
“That’s the one.”
Surprisingly and thankfully, their expected reaction of shock and awe was replaced by excitement and amazement. That’s new. While you’re glad to see they’re not afraid, another asks in genuine curiosity, “Why are you here?”
Ah, gladly the stage is far enough from them that they didn’t hear your brief exchange with Applejack moments ago, gladly because this gives space for another one of your devious plots.
“I was feeling a little famished, you see.” you get up from your seat and slowly stride towards the light switch by the door. They’re all curious with a little sense of tension in the back of their head. “An acquired taste through the savory and sweet, a vessel of energy that drives the senses wild and manifests euphoric ecstasy, the taste… of meat.” you switch off the lights right after your brief artistic monologue. Naturally, flicking off the lights would just dim down the room a bit but you’d made it so that it’s pitch black wherever you look. You’d make it a quick little gig but one of the students caught your eye. From what you can tell, she’s probably a Hipogriff. Her aura reminds you of a better time, just like Pinkie’s aura to be analogical. Like a bright light in the midst of darkness. Also it’d be pretty funny if you and one of the students disappeared and they went into panic.
You’d teleported yourself and the student into a small pocket dimension you’d made, it’s a simple room with two fancy chairs and a round table for refreshments. Looks like you’ve got cookies and warm milk for the two of you. Though she’s shaking in her seat like a scared little filly.
“I-I-I-Is that your a-appetizer?” she asks in genuine fear while she curls herself up into a ball in her large seat. That’s cute.
“You mean these snacks? Nah, they’re to stuff you up so you taste better, think of it as your final meal.” you collectively answer her in a very casual way.
Holy moly she’s wailing in tears now. “Whoa now, hehehe. Guess I went a little too far there.”
It looks like she’s too shaken up to hear what you said as she’s still crying probably from a sense of betrayal, fear, and deception. Jeezum Crow you’re pretty horrible, “I’m not gonna eat you.” you calm her down as you grasp her tightly by her shoulders.
She’s calmed down now even if it’s just a bit, though she’s still pretty confused. Breaking up her trance you ask, “What’s your name?”
“I-It’s Silverstream.” she quietly answers.
Sadly, her fear simmer down her previous cheerful aura. It’s time to fix that right up. With a quick little scan of things she likes, you summon an assortment of stairs within the room. You don’t really get it but she suddenly perks up in joy and fascinates around them, she’s happy now and that’s all that should matter.
“Can you read minds?” she asks stupefied from how you figured out she likes stairs.
“Yes, but that’s a tale for another time.”
She starts flying around you now as she asks you a flurry of questions, “What else can you do? Can you make it night time when it’s day? Can you flood the school pool so I can swim everywhere? I always wanted to swim around the school! Wait! Can you put stairs, on stairs?!!!”
It’s good to see she’s back on track but she’s a little too energetic now as she pulls close to your face locking your eyes with hers. You shush her with a finger to her beak as you slowly get forcefully insert a cookie in her mouth. You then proceed to amaze her more by making moving stairs, essentially they’re just escalators yet her eyes are already shimmering in amazement.
You could probably keep at it with her for hours on end yet you only have a brief moment with her before things get sketchy back at Twilight’s school.
You quickly pull her down back into her chair and get into a comfy position as you cross your legs with your chin rested on your hand. With a small sense of reality kicking into Silverstream, she asks, “So why did you bring me here?”
“Nothing really. I was bored and you’d simply caught my attention.”
“Oh wow, I didn’t know I stood out that much.” Silverstream lightly blushes at your unintentional complement. “So what now?”
“Now nothing. I just thought we can be good friends, if that’s alright with you of course.”
Silverstream shakes her head horizontally at your words right after she takes in a cookie and downs it with some milk, “No, that’s alright. I always like making new friends.”
“Great, I hope you like spontaneous encounters because I’ll be dropping by randomly.”
“Oooh, I like surprises. There was this one time where me and my friends ran away to this abandoned castle, it didn’t work out well in the end but we had a lot of fun.” Silverstream recounts as she gleams at those memories.
“That sounds like a great story, though I’m afraid that’s a tale for another time. This was nice, Silverstream. I hope you’re ready for more soon.”
“Always will be.” she readily asserts with a sturdy salute. The two of you laugh at the spectacle for a bit.
Briefly, you give her a straight “bye” and with a snap of your fingers the two of you are back in Applejack’s class.
Suddenly a bunch of ponies including Twilight and a lilac-coated one attempt to assault you and take you down with magic and the like yet to no avail as you don’t even budge. You’d feel a sense of guilt had their assumptions been true but from your perspective it’s all too funny. You don’t blame any of them though, you’re a stranger in a strange land and you being new here makes their suspicions and doubts about you fairly reasonable. You laugh it off as their confusion subsides when they realize Silverstream is right where she should be back at her table.
“Hahaha, uhhh… sorry for… doubting you, Anon.” Twilight regretfully apologizes while looking between the lilac pony and Applejack
“That’s quite alright, Twilight. I should be the one saying sorry. I’m finally realizing how my little joke went a tad too far, though I have to say you should expect more of those soon hahahaha.”
They all still feel a bit uneasy but they’re more or less relieved that things didn’t go the way they thought it did.
With settled down now, Twilight speaks up, “Alright everyone, back to how things were and goodbye. Let’s go, Starlight.”
Starlight huh? So that’s her name. The class gives Twilight a quick goodbye and Starlight gives you a little uneasily embarrassed wave goodbye with that apologetic smile she tries to put up. Looks like she’s now in your list of ponies to deliberately meet in the future. Chrysalis and Sweetie Belle were also just outside and they’d seen you when the doors opened. Before they could react, Twilight explained to them it was simply a false alarm and it was just another one of your jokes. They let out a relieved sigh and look at you as you wave for them to come in to which they do.
“Everyone, I’m sorry.” you apologize with your head and body bowed down. It always was one of your philosophies in apologizing. There are four stages of apologizing. The first stage simply being the casual sorry for being courteous even when nothing bad whatsoever happened. The second stage would be more sincere with a little bow of the head and body if you were in the wrong. The third stage would be to kneel down with your head bowed if you really made a grave mistake. But the fourth, the fourth stage happens in extremely rare occasions and will probably never happen. The fourth stage would be to get down on all fours and apologize from the bottom of your heart. It should only be done when you’ve heavily affected someone in a bad way that you can’t fix and chances are that you’ll only do it to the one you love the most, probably a love interest.
Despite the sorry you know you’ll have to make up for it eventually, though that’s a tale for another time.
“That’s alright, Sugarcube.” Applejack quickly responds.
A stray thought comes to mind, and it’s a good one. “How about I tell a story?” you pull up your chair once more and sit in the same position you were earlier. You even set up a projector to make your storytelling more visual. The sounds of cheering signify their approval and liking to your activity, most probably since it beats doing schoolwork but they seem to be liking you more nonetheless. It’s showtime.
“And so I said, ‘that’s not a pony, that’s my wife.’”. Once more the crowd goes wild laughing at your zinger. It really is a true humdinger that equals if not surpasses the “Boardwalk Burgers” joke from Charlie.
It’s been about an hour or two already of you simply talking and thankfully their subject lengths are akin to college classes. It’s mostly been about yourself so they’d get to know you better, but you’d made sure to phrase them through crazy and wild stories about you so they’d keep their ears open. You threw in a little dash of culture from Earth and even some anime and video games. Most of the concepts were considerably foreign to all of them so you kept the ball rolling elsewhere, figures that they wouldn’t be able to thrive and make memes considering that they don’t have internet. Generally you were like a comedian who told funny stories about yourself, your old world, and random tales that always did make for a good side splitter.
As their laughter simmers down, the school bell loudly rings throughout the room. An audible ‘awwww’ of sadness can be heard from the students. “Well then, that’s that. See you soon, kids.” you gleefully bid them as you smile brightly at them, Chrysalis, Sweetie Belle, and Applejack.
As the students leave, each one gives you a big smile and an enthusiastic wave goodbye. As Silverstream passes by, she gives the most energetic of them all. That put a bigger smile on your face as a brown one that’s pretty big when compared to the rest of the students comes up to you, “Yona think Anon cool.”
“Why thank you little yak, here’s something I think you’ll like.” you proceed to give her a small timber log about the size of your forearm.
Before anything is said and done Yona happily smashes it to pieces on the ground. Her friends and Applejack just smirk at that as they expected her to do that. Suddenly, the timber log forms itself to how it was merely seconds ago.
“It’s a reconstructing timber log, have fun.”
“Yona thank Anon.” she gratefully tells you right after giving you a hug. She then proceeds to smash the log on her way out as her amazed friends follow.
“You sure did a pretty good job back there, Anon.” Applejack appraises you.
“Yeah, I hope we can get some more pop idol performances soon, they look really cool.” Sweetie Belle subtly requests.
“I’m sure we will, Sweetie Belle. That was a pretty nice session we had. You know, I just might consider being a teacher.” you half truthfully joke around.
“Hehe, I’m sure we’ll welcome you kindly if you do.” Applejack reassures you.
“Only time will tell I suppose but for now, let’s eat.”
Your small entourage of three cheer at your suggestion, Applejack most of all as a loud grumble can be heard from her stomach. The four of you laugh at the spectacle as Applejack is slightly flustered. Thankfully, even Chrysalis seems like she’s having a good time.
“I got a great new meal I’m fairly certain all of us will enjoy.” you speak loudly with your voice echoing in the room as the four of you start striding towards your diner.
A thought comes back to mind as you pass by the teachers conference room. You summon six warm chowder soups that’ll stay warm until consumed on each of their tables in the room. Clearly, you’d removed anything that they can’t or don’t eat from the traditional chowder soup such as potatoes and replaced it with something they’ll like better such as daisies. You even left a little note by the side saying, “Had a rough day? Here’s a little something to cheer you up a bit.”. It’s even written beautifully in cursive and it’s got some really cute stickers of animals and ponies you know on it. By the cooking you already know that they’ll find out it’s from you so you decided to sign it secretively anyway. You simply put “- Anonymous” at the bottom of the message. You know it’s your name on it anyway but it’s a pretty funny double meaning joke and you hope they’ll laugh from it if they get it. All that matters now is that you’re not breaking your Pinkie Promise today, and you’ll do your best to keep any more that you’ll make in the future. But for now, you’d like to have some delicious lunch with your good friends.
