During the next few weeks I was able to get settled in as much as I could. I met a few locals such as; Derpy, Vinyl (aka DJ P0N-3) and Octavia Melody, also managed to get a job at the flower shop considering I had no real experience in anything else. The flower trio was more than welcoming… after they stopped fainting whenever I entered the room.
Eventually I was bored and melancholy. “Hey Twilight? I was wondering what you all do around here for fun.”
“well there’s sugarcube corner, sweetapple acres, visiting fluttershy at her home, getting rarity to make you some new outfits… well more new outfits, and then there’s sitting and reading or reshelving here in the library. I honestly don’t know what you could do with rainbow that doesn’t involve flying but I’m sure you can figure that out.” She said all this with an air of irritation.
“wow sparkles. What got in your craw? I just asked a simple question.”
“… sorry I just reaaaalllyyy need to reshelve these books and I don’t like distractions but, they seem to find me anyway, everytime I start.”
It was on those words that a sudden BRIGHT flash of light showed in front of me “AAAAAAAAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! MY EYES!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHH WTF IT HUUUUURRRRRTTTSSSS!!!!!!!”
“oh stop being a foal, it’s just Princess Celest…. OMG WHY IS SHE HERE NOW????!!!!! I’M NOT PREPARED FOR A VISIT!!!!!!”
“Oh dear, did I come at a bad time my little ones?”
“… wow I thought you guys only had one size… *mumbles to myself* wait.. is this a case of invader zim where the taller you are the more power you hold politically?”
“umm please excuse me but, I do not believe we have ben introduced. I am Princess Celestia and who might you be?”
“huh? Oh uhhh my name is Ethan and I have a question.”
Twilight then decides it’s a good idea to yank my down to whisper in my ear. “ You better NOT ask if the rulers of equestria is based on how tall you are.”
“but.. but it’s gonna naaahaha… I mean bother me until I ask. Come on where’s your curiosity? Als how are you holding onto me with those hooves?”
“no. and as to the hooves thing…. Uhhh I don’t know?... huh how am I doing this?”
After successfully distracting booksmart I approached tallestpone. “um I was wondering if being tall is why you rule the country?”
Twilight quickly looks in my direction.” AH..UH… WHYYYY? I SAID NOT TO ASK THAT!!!!!”
“oh also how do ponies hold things with their hooves?” I quickly input
“hmmm… No I doubt I am in charge because I am taller than everpony else. My sister and I raise and lower the sun and moon. Also she and I are well over one thousand years old and quite literally built this land of ours from the ground up. Also I still do not know how we pick things up with hooves, sorry.”
“huh well that my curious itch scratched… well atleast one of them.” I look over to twilight to lethere know im going out. “hey twi…. Ummm You okay there… uhh twilight?... hmmmm I think I broke her when I asked you a question. Oh well, hey Tia mind letting her know I’m going to hang with derpy and possibly vinyl?”
“hehe… uhum ye. Yes I will tell her, please enjoy yourself. Also, I would like you to visit my sister and I in canterlot sometime.”
“I… I’ll think about it.” was my response.
As I shut the front door was when twilight.exe finished reboot and just before the click I heard “WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT????????”
That was when I thought it would be best to book it to derpy’s place. and as I walked I saw rainbow shoot past overhead. I know it was her because of all the Pegasuses... pegasi?... whatever that has a constant rainbow shooting behind her.
I stopped to talk to some of the other locals as well “hey Vinyl hows it going?”
“oh you know late nights and even later mornings HAH.”
“oh vinyl why must you be such an embarrassment to me?” Octavia says. “honestly I think a little decorum in your day to day will do wonders for your social life.”
“come on Octy don’t be like that. You know I don’t care about those social elites anymore than you do.”
“really got a way with words do you Vy? Well I’ll see you later I’m gonna catch up with derpy for a bit.”
“Hah like you can talk mister 'im an alien being please give me a job’ I still have no idea how you got the trio to give you a chance without fainting every second.”
“well Vy that because you obviously lack my natural charm to be able to B.S. your way out of something… or into something.”
“Oh please what would I need to B.S. my way into huh?”
I look pointedly at Octavia “you wanna field this one or should I tell her she's on couch duty?”
“hmmmm I don’t think I like where this is going so ill just take Vinyl and explain later…. In private okay?”
“huh am I missing something here?”
“don’t worry I wash my hands of this ‘joke’ before I end up in the proverbial doghouse thank yu very much.”
“AHHHHHHHH COMING THROUUUUUGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!”
“oh cra-GAH!!”
At this point rainbow thought I would make for a good crash zone. Also this is where I found I have a form of damage resistance because that speed with that mass from that altitude?.... I don’t even have to be a genius to know that usually equals ethan a la mush.
