//------------------------------// // A Perfect World // Story: Its a beautiful day, and I cant see it. // by Budinsky //------------------------------// A few days had passed since Greg got his sight back and he made every moment of it count. He had become wonderful friends with Applejack since they both shared similar interests. Greg had learned that Applejack was a great drinking buddy and a good poker player, after he taught her about it of course. Greg had also helped Rarity with her fashion work by telling her about some Human fashion fads and in return had made him some clothes and shoes. In his spare time he would spend time with Twilight telling her tales and information about his world. Mostly stuff like math and science and also a little history. By the end of the fourth day he found that he had some people had taken a little more liking to him then others, name one rainbow maned pegasus. He decided to ignore her for the time being. Also he discovered he had missed his love for music, so he decided to take action into his own hands. He asked Twilight to take him to a carpenter in town and request if a guitar could be constructed. After explaining to her what exactly a guitar was she happily obliged. After he got his guitar constructed he then needed to find a pony who could make him some guitar strings, this proved to be a much daunting task then he anticipated. He then gave up until Twilight offered to magically produce some guitar strings for him. He felt even more guilty at this. First she healed his blindness and now help him with his little requests, it was almost to much. He then decided to make up to Twilight and her friends by playing a song for them. " Thanks for everything Twilight". " No problem Greg". " No I don't think you understand how grateful I am for everything you've done, you've took me in, healed my blindness, and done silly little requests for me, So I decided I will play guitar for you and your friends" Greg insisted. " Wow that would be great, lets make it tonight in Applejack's barn okay?" " That sounds perfect Twilight" A few hours later the six colourful ponies and Greg had gathered in the barn at Twilights request. " Heya Greg, ooh what's that fancy thing you got there" a curious pink pony questioned" With pride instead of explaining to the ponies what it was, he decided to show them instead. Then decided to play a little System of a Down for them, Roulette to be exact. After he had played a pretty well done cover of SOAD's song, the ponies just sat there in awe. " That was AMAZING Greg" Rainbow Dash exclaimed " Boy howdy Greg, that's some fancy playing skills ya got there, you gotta teach me some time" Applejack said. " Quite ravishing I Must say Gregory, I say you do have quite a talent there" Rarity complimented The rest of the ponies just sat there nodding their head to the onslaught of compliments. He had never felt so proud in himself for a long time, the first being his perfect welding's for a client he had. " Well girls its getting late, I think we should head back to our respective homes" Twilight said. It seemed to be an unanimous decision by all, it had been a tiring day for all of them. After the goodbyes had been said and everyone had left the barn to receed into their own homes. As Twilight and Greg had arrived to the tree that they called home Twilight had seemed to be anxious for some reason. Greg then decided to act on this observation. " Hey Twi"? " Yes Greg"? " Is everything alright"? " Actually no, there's this thing I've been meaning to ask you" " Shoot" " Do you actually want to go home"? Twilight asked. He then paused for a moment to think, did he really want to go home? This world compared to his had been paradise. He didn't have a shitty life but there was still no violence, drugs, rape, or anything wrong with this world. True he did feel singled out being the only human around ponies, but he also felt accepted by his new pony friends as well. He missed his old home, his bed, his food, and the delicious hamburgers. To be honest, he didn't know what to think. " I don't know if I can give you an answer right now Twi". Greg responded " That's okay Greg, now it'd be wise to get some sleep" Twilight advised. In truth, that did seemed like a good idea, so he took his makeshift bed on the couch and proceeded to fall asleep, the question still lingering in his mind.
