It's such a beautiful day today! The sun is shining, The flowers are blooming, The birds are singing.
And all the talking ponies are running around in excitement.
Talking Ponies? Oh, You probably didn't get the memo.
This story doesn't take place in the human world.
Surprising I know, But it's fine. Sure my family probably misses me, And I was looking forward to getting my first paycheck, And I was planning on playing the upcoming Pokemon games, And I will never get to see how One Piece ends.
And I think I'm blabbering a bit.
I am currently a Chespin. That cute chestnut armadillo creature from the Pokemon X and Y games.
Sure, I used to be a human, But there isn't much I can really do about that.
Do I want to get home? Of course I do, I have so many things waiting for me back there.
Can I go home? I don't know.
I've been in this weird place for almost two weeks now. I can speak with animals and understand what they're saying, But when I tried speaking to one of those colorful ponies, All they could understand me saying was Chespin.
So I gave up on trying to communicate with them.
But ignoring all that, I'm really curious what's going on today.
I'll go ask the bunny.
On the outskirts of Pony Village, oh excuse me, Ponyville, there's an animal shelter.
Animal Daycare, Animal Nursing home, Animal vacation spot, whatever you want to call it.
It's run by a Yellow pony with wings, Some girl called Fluttershy, Stupid name I know.
I mean, Who names their daughter Fluttershy? I'll never understand these Pony naming conventions.
What's next? Sprinkle Flowerdust? Candy cane Popsicle? Orange Citrusblast?
What was I talking about? Oh yes, The animal shelter.
It's this two story house surrounded by bird houses. The rood is covered with bushes and plants to give it this look of a tree where many animals live.
It's a bit too cottagecore for my taste, But I guess everyone has their own style.
The problem with living on the outskirts next to the big spooky forest is that it takes a while to get there with my tiny feet.
Have you ever seen a Chespin? I don't have legs. My feet are connected directly to the torso.
Sure I can roll into a ball and roll around kind of fast, But I get dizzy after long distance rolling.
Have you ever tried rolling down a hill and then standing up when you reach the bottom? Imagine that but four times worse.
I can try and use Vine Whip to swing across like spider-man, Only problem with that is that the vines come out of the back of my neck, It's really uncomfortable getting pulled from there.
Did you ever get pulled from the back of your neck? Doesn't feel good does it.
After I reach the house of Fluttershy, The Uneven, Non geometrical, Architects nightmare looking house, I head behind it to a field where a bunch of the animals in area gather up.
You can see Squirrels, Opossums, Birds And even a bear cub waiting for his mother to finish a conversation.
I get it kid, You want to go home but Mom started talking to a friend from school she hasn't seen in months and your at the store, And a line is forming behind you waiting for the cashier but you don't want to hurry your mom up because she seems really happy talking with this friend of hers and you don't want to ruin the mood but you really want to go home so you won't hear the people behind you complaining that your clogging up the line.
But I'm not here for any of them. Only one animal here can tell me whats going on today that makes everybody so excited.
I'm looking for Angel Bunny.
He's just called Angel but you add the Bunny at the end to differentiate him from other creatures named Angel.
Like Angel Dove for example, She's named Angel too, Or Angel Koi who managed to swim out of a pet store all the way in Manehatten and ended up at the lake slightly outside of town.
You see, Angel Bunny is the personal protector of Fluttershy.
He calls himself that but he's really just her pet.
"Good morning Mr Chespin" I get greeted by some of the younger animals in the field.
"That recipe for mushroom soup you gave us was great, Mom wanted to give this for you" I look at what the small porcupine gave me.
A pinecone with a flower dandelion sticking out of it.
I put it behind my back and feel it enter what I could only explain as a cartoon physics pocket. I'll explain more about that later.
Turning to look at The small porcupine going back to him mom, I see an older Porcupine waving at me and giving me a wink.
I give her a small wave back with a nod and continue my search for Angel.
He's Usually under a tree eating carrots or hanging out with Fluttershy. And since I don't see him here, I'll probably have to wait.
Sitting down in the shade of a large tree, I take out some berries from my cartoon physics pocket, or CPP for short.
My Theory as to why I have it is that Chespin, As most people might guess, Isn't a real animal.
He's a cartoon animal from a children game and TV series about catching monsters and going on adventures with your friends.
And cartoons like those have animal sidekicks with weird physic pockets.
Take for example a Cartoon dog, A normal dog is just a regular animal, But a cartoon dog can walk on two legs and act like a human. Sometime they even pull out object from nowhere, Usually for comedic effect such as taking out an entire pie from nowhere just to throw it at somebody.
My Theory is that this world runs on similar logic, If the naming convention is anything to go by, This place is based on Cartoon logic in some form or another. I mean, A Bear is having a discussion with an Owl a few trees left of me and I understand what they're saying.
"Hey Mr Chespin, We're playing kick ball, Wanna' join us?" A small Heron calls out to me, He holds a rubber ball in his legs.
"No Thanks kid, But tell your mother I said hi." I decline to join his game, I can't really kick a ball if I can barely move my tiny legs.
After a few minutes like that. I hear the guy I was waiting for hop over to me.
"You know, You can't ignore all of them all the time." It seems Angel Bunny found me.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I ask the white rabbit.
"You know what I'm talking about." He points somewhere with his paw and My eyes follow it. It's a group of Rodent ladies speaking with each other and giggling.
"What about them?" I ask the bunny.
"What about them? Dude they have an obvious crush on you. I know for a fact that Melina Porcupine has the hots for you. Why not give it a shot?" Angel says.
"You think I don't know that? I know they want a piece of me, I'm not blind. But they're not my type." I lean back.
"So what is your type?"
"Not Single mothers, that's for sure"
After a few more minutes of talking about my bizarre new love life, I ask the question I was hoping he could answer.
"Why is everyone excited? Oh yeah, I guess you never seen the Summer Sun Celebration. The Sun Princess makes a whole showing about lifting up the sun. You know how these ponies are, They get excited over anything." Angel Explains. "I'm sure you can come over and watch it, It's an open thing. Fluttershy is in charge of the music so I know that the smaller critters can come."
A Celebration where a pony princess lifts up the sun.
"Sure, I'll watch it. Sounds interesting" I tell him and pick myself up from the ground.
"Looking forward to see you there!" Angel shouts out after me.
I gave him a backhanded wave and leave the field.
I guess I know what I'm going to do tonight.
