//------------------------------// // My Beloved Teacher // Story: The Chronicles of Andy Hunter- New Life in Equestria // by AndyHunter //------------------------------// I walked with Rarity toward her boutique. She was going to design my outfit because I planned to visit Stellar Flare tomorrow with my new clothes. I know how much she cares about being presentable and well-dressed. I've been wearing these clothes since yesterday, and it's the only outfit I have. Rarity is the perfect pony for this assignment. Rarity asked me, "Andy dear, what colors do you usually wear?" "Well, I tend to favor darker colors like black and gray these days. When I was a child, my favorite color was yellow, but my style has evolved to embrace darker shades. I realize it contrasts with Equestria's vibrant palette, but it's just my personal preference" "It's a unusual style... unique, I have to say, I've seen ponies who dress that way but not very often" Rarity said a little surprised, she had stopped when I answered her, she started following my pace again. "I completely trust you Rarity, I already have the design in mind I just need you to sew it" I clenched one of my fists with determination, leaving all my trust in Rarity. "Of course Darling, you can count on me! By the way Andy, you say you're a human, do they always used clothes wherever they go?" "In my world, humans cannot go without clothes anywhere, that is called exhibitionism and it is very frowned upon, we only take them off when we are obviously going to bathe or have a private moment with our partners. Even though I'm in Equestria now, I prefer to be dressed at all times, it would be strange not to have anything on" "Oh I see, in that case I'll have to make you more clothes than I thought, I don't think there is clothing boutiques for humans anywhere in Equestria" Rarity said, I could see her determination on her face and she was smiling, showing her teeth. We had arrived at Rarity's Boutique, Rarity opened the door and we both entered, I saw Opalescence sleeping, I approached her and said "Opalescence!" "Oh my! You know my cat's name too?" Rarity said surprised. "Sure, remember what I said in Golden Oak when we were with the girls and Spike? I had explained to you all that in my world there's alternative versions of you, you could say that I know more than half of Equestria" This was my way of saying that they are not a television show, if I tell them that they are fictional characters, an unforgettable chaos could form that Discord would surely be proud of. Rarity was processing the information I told her, while I was playing with Opal, I put my index finger in front of her and she bit it gently, she was just playing, she seems to like me, she's cute but when she's upset it's better to walk away, I wouldn't want her to scratch my face or something. Rarity, seeing me playing with Opal, seems to have left what I told her behind and focused more on the tender scene "Wow Andy, I didn't know you got along well with animals, Opal seems to like you!" "Well, in my world I have a Husky dog ​​but don't worry, my parents are going to take good care of him. Too bad I can't say the same about Angel, Fluttershy's bunny, I tried to get along with him but it seems like he ignored me and I preferred to leave him alone, surely over time he'll get used to it and we'll get along well, it's better not to force him, I am a creature Angel have never seen and it must be normal for him to have his suspicions" "Very thoughtful of you Andy, with that attitude, you will surely make friends with all the ponies" Rarity said excitedly raising one of her hooves towards the sky. "Thank you, Rarity. I appreciate your kind words. I believe in taking things slowly and building trust over time" Opal had lain in my arms, it seems like she wants me to hold her for a moment. I carried Opal in my arms while I caressed her. "Let's go to the room where you make clothes!" "Sure my dear, follow me!" Said Rarity proudly. I followed Rarity as she took a look at her boutique, the walls were white, pink with some purple in some parts, it doesn't match my style but I admire how clean and well organized the place is, it just lacks air conditioning and maybe some black to this wall, a skull lamp would look great, in this corner I would put a large statue of Gordon Freeman, it would look great with the place, next to it there could be another statue of Vaul-boy, it would give a unique touch to the place. On this wall I would perhaps put a painting of the cover of Starcraft from 1998 and the cover of the Blindside album About a Burning Fire with the image of the kid and the crystal ball of fire. Definitely when I have my own house I will decorate it like this! Although I don't judge Rarity's style, everypony has their own tastes and they have to be respected. "This is where the magic happens!" Rarity exclaimed as she magically opened the door to her workplace. It appeared exactly as I had imagined, with everything in a state of disarray. Rolls of fabric lay scattered on the floor; it was the only place in her boutique that wasn't meticulously tidy. I assumed Rarity must find more inspiration in this chaotic environment. I recalled a time when Sweetie Belle attempted to tidy up this area, which had greatly upset Rarity. She likely had her reasons for keeping it messy, but it certainly didn't harm anypony. "Wow, I like the place. You just need a human mannequin," I said with a hint of sarcasm. Rarity let out a small laugh. "You're the only human in Equestria; they would have to create mannequins specifically just for you!" We both started laughing. Rarity laughed elegantly, while it seemed like I was convulsing on the floor laughing. Even Opal had to go somewhere else because she was bothered by how hard I was laughing. After laughing for a few minutes, Rarity gave me a sheet of paper and a pencil with her magic to draw the design of my clothes. When I started to draw, she asked me, "Why are you drawing using... that thing instead of your mouth?" "Oh, these are hands and fingers. They make it easier for us to grab objects. We don't use our mouths to grab objects like pegasi or earth ponies usually do. I'm going to draw you an example of what it would look like to use your mouth" I began to draw a picture of Sweetie Belle driving a Ferrari Superamerica at full speed, passing underneath a cargo truck. Sweetie Belle had a serious expression and was wearing sunglasses. On the other side of the page, I attempted to draw with my mouth, but the result was a collection of random lines without any recognizable pattern. That reminded me of the day I had my Kia Opirus, blasting MLP soundtrack and CheVelle, I really miss my car, I only drove it twice and it didn't want to start. Buying used cars is definitely a bad idea. Rarity had taken a step back, her eyes widening. "Wow, first of all, I must say that you draw very well. I'm not sure if I should ask how you know my little Sweetie Belle" "The answer is still the same, Rarity. Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo also have their respective versions, just like you and your friends. It shouldn't be surprising" I responded with a calm tone. "I understand, but there are things about your drawing that make me wonder, what is that thing Sweetie Belle is on?" Rarity had a curious and surprised expression. It would be better if I explained it to her in a simple way. "What Sweetie Belle is in is a car, similar to a wagon but it doesn't need somepony to push it to move. It runs on an engine, which is how cars work in my world. Ferrari is my favorite brand, and they have a wide variety of designs and models. I just wanted Sweetie Belle to look cool!" I said, my childish side took control of me this time. "Wow, your world is interesting despite not having magic. Sweetie Belle will surely like your drawing! But the other doodle you made... on second thought, it's probably better if you use your hands to draw. We don't want to give anypony a heart attack" I took Rarity's comment with humor, it didn't offend me to be honest, we both started laughing again. I began to draw the design of the clothes I wanted. As I planned to go on adventures, the perfect outfit would be a tunic similar to Link's from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, but with a gothic touch. The tunic would be entirely black, paired with emo jeans, spiked gloves, and a matching spiked necklace. As for footwear, my existing Converse sneakers would complete the look. I finished the drawing, which I had created with references. Rarity remained like a statue, likely not accustomed to styles like these. "Oh my, that unique and spiked style will certainly make you stand out. I can finish it by tomorrow if I start right away. But first, I'll need to take your measurements," Rarity replied. "Of course, Rarity" I stood up in front of her, allowing her to take my measurements. She carefully noted them down in her notebook. "That's it! Tomorrow it will be ready!" Rarity announced with a smile. "Thank you, Rarity. I appreciate it" I expressed my gratitude with a slight bow, like I was in Japan. "You don't need to thank me, I'm doing this because we are good friends" Rarity said excitedly turning around and starting to work on the clothes. We said goodbye and I went outside the Boutique, it's better that Rarity was alone, that way she can concentrate better. My next destination will be Ponyville school, Cheerilee... I mean Cutie Mark Crusaders here I come! As I walked to school I greeted the ponies, some simply stared at me, I've only been here a day but by tomorrow they will surely get used to my presence, the important thing is that they don't see me as someone bad. I started to wander in my thoughts thinking about what I could say to Cheerilee, what could we talk about? I don't know... thinking even more, I remembered a pony that I really don't want to meet, I had a flashback about the episode Hard To Say Anything. "Ese semental cabrón..." I thought about that dude called Feather Bangs, if I meet him I'm going to beat him up... no, I shouldn't think about violence but he's super annoying, he believes that relationships are a competition, a game. Feather is so childish, he can do whatever he wants, I don't care as long as he doesn't get in my way when I'm on my way to meet my marefriends. The only thing Feather has on his side is appearance, being an irrelevant aspect. Beyond that, his personality matches my shoes altitude, it's worthless. It's the ridiculousness, the slapstick, ponified, what a loser. For me, relationships are something serious that must be respected and valued. Don't walk around believing that we are the protagonists of a anime. I can already imagine that dude challenging me to a fight, maybe I'm not very good at singing but in a fight, Pfff Celestia would crown him, clown of the year without a doubt. I'll stop wasting imaginary saliva on this guy. As I walked I got closer and closer to the school, it seemed like they were still in class, there's nopony outside. I went to the playground to wait for recess or for them to go home, probably the latter, since it was noon. I would like to ask Cheerilee if she would like me to accompany her home, although I am very embarrassed. I sat on one of the swings, they were small but I could still sit on them, considering how skinny I am. I was going to play a song with my ocarina of time but it would surely make a lot of noise and be heard inside the classroom. Dude, I wish I had my 3DS with me, some entertainment wouldn't hurt me now. "I think I'll sing a little to pass the time, what song... oh I know which one" I cleared my throat and tried to remember the lyrics since I had forgotten them a little. "Dreams of earthquakes. Dreams of hurricanes. Dreams of pouring rain. Dreams of tidal waves .To wash us all away. Dreams of guns blazed. Dreams of fire rage. Dreams of swollen graves. Dreams of hollow pain. All gone. No more fallen .No more enemy. No. more casualty. No more dream" I sang while I swung doing 360 degree turns on the swing. I had heard the bell, which means that Cheerilee will surely see me, I will wait for her to arrive. "Fall into sleep. Fall into me. I have a dream. But nobody cares. Nobody wants to listen" I kept singing with great energy until I heard a voice. "It's the creature all ponies talk about!" Cheerilee said surprised with her mouth open. All the foals were panicking and Cheerilee was desperately trying to calm them down. "It's a reaction that I really expected, but I know how to calm them" I jumped off the swing doing a 360 spin in the air, falling dramatically to the ground. All the ponies had their eyes on me believing I would do something to them. I took my ocarina of time out of my pocket and played the song from Nocturne of Shadow, an extended version. While I was playing, some little birds were next to me singing at the same rhythm. I turned my gaze to Cheerilee, she had blushed at the scene. "I must say that was beautiful... that means you won't hurt us right?" Cheerilee asked with a nervous tone. "No, not at all, I'm not a monster like many ponies believe, the reason I came here was to... visit you." I looked away and covered part of my face with the hood of my jacket. Cheerilee seemed to be calming down, and some of the foals were no longer panicking. She approached me cautiously and said "I suppose we got off on the wrong hoof. I'm Cheerilee, the foals' teacher. What's your name?" "My- my name is- is Andy Hunter. I'm a human. Nice to meet you and the foals" It was very difficult to talk to a mare as beautiful as Cheerilee, her mane, her beautiful green eyes, they have me hypnotized. Cheerilee extended a hoof to shake my hand and gave a warm smile. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Andy Hunter. I'm glad to see that you're not as frightening as the rumors made you out to be" She then gestured to the foals. "These little ones were just worried because they didn't know you. Equestria is a peaceful place, and we don't encounter many creatures like you" "I understand, we are all afraid of the unknown. You are already heading home, right? I would like to talk to you" I looked at the ground, I couldn't see her directly, I was very embarrassed. "Yes, I had already finished teaching the foals, what exactly did you want to talk to me about?" Asked Cheerilee. "I know this will sound sudden but I know you, I am not from this world, a portal brought me here. In my world there are alternative versions of all the ponies that includes you, if I am not mistaken you have a twin sister who is call Cherry Blossom and you live alone in your house..." Cheerilee recoiled a little when I revealed to her that I am not from this world. Also when I told him his sister's name. "How is it possible... that you know all that?" "In my world, all the ponies have their respective versions, as I mentioned before, it may be a great coincidence that Equestria exists in my world but is fictional while here it is real. That's why I know about you" I said showing a smile to Cheerilee, we looked at each other, she had a combination of emotions but the one that stood out the most was surprise. "I have no way to contradict that, if you know my sister then everything you say must be true. Regarding the alternative versions that you mentioned in your world, what is my role?" "In your world, Cheerilee, like others ponies serves as a teacher in Ponyville and plays a role in educating and guiding young ponies. However, in my world, these characters are part of a fictional TV show called My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, which is enjoyed by people of all ages. This TV show features the adventures and lessons of the characters, including you as a dedicated and caring teacher" "That's exciting! and how many episodes do I appear?" Cheerilee asked excitedly, leaning close to my face. "Mmm, I think there are only four, but it doesn't matter. For me, you are still special even if you don't appear in many chapters" Cheerilee had blushed and looked away to the left, I had definitely won her heart, but it's still too early, she needs to know more about me before taking the next step. "Thank you seriously... I have never been treated this way, I know we just met but I would like to know more about you so that we can be more than friends" Cheerilee said between pauses. Several fillies, highlighting the CMC, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, let out a sigh that Cheerilee and I managed to hear, revealing their positions, they were listening to our conversation the entire time, I had seen them, but I didn't tell anything, foals usually can be very curious. "Miss Cheerilee, you can't seriously be falling for that creature," Diamond Tiara said with contemp. "Yes, I mean, just look at him. He looks like a hairless orangutan," Silver Spoon said, always quick to agree with Diamond Tiara. Cheerilee leaned on my leg and said "Come on girls, be respectful to him, Andy may not look like he's from here but that's the least of it, love has many forms and different ways of expressing itself" "It's incredible... a strange creature and a pony and the worst thing is that he is dating my teacher!" said Diamond Tiara. I Completely understand Diamond Tiara and Silver, although their lack of respect is not something that makes me very angry, I can let it go. They have never seen someone like me and it is normal for a pony her age to process an unusual situation like this, it is like the Japanese man who married Hatsune Miku and everyone went crazy. But time makes people or ponies in this case change their perspective, maybe if Diamond and Silver notice that Cheerilee is happy with me it might make them change their minds. "We're not dating yet, DT and Silver, we're in the process. Why don't you both go home and take a break so you can process everything you saw today?" I told both fillies with a calm and friendly tone. "You're right monkey, I better go before I go crazy, follow me Silver" Diamond Tiara and Silver retired to their homes while murmuring, you don't have to be a genius to know what it's about. "I'm sorry Andy, that's how those two are, they're very dramatic" Cheerilee said while I stroked her mane. "It's true, those two bullies are very annoying. It's a pleasure to meet you Andy, my name is Apple Bloom and this is Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo" Apple Bloom said, introducing herself and pointing at her friends with one of her front hooves. "My pleasure, you are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Applejack's sister, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash's number one fan" I had been a little excited, I always wanted to meet the CMC at this point they are no longer surprised that I know who they are, surely they were listening to my conversation with Cheerilee. "You know Sweetie Bell, now that teacher Cheerilee has a genuine partner, it makes me feel worse about the time we gave her that love potion" Scootaloo said whispering to Sweetie Belle. "It's true, but at least Mr. Andy will surely make her happy" I approached Scootaloo and Sweetie and crouched down to their height, Apple Bloom and Cheerilee were next to me "Ha! I know what you two are talking about, you're talking about the day you gave Cheerilee and Applejack's monosyllabic brother the love potion" I couldn't hold back my laughter, I was laughing like a seal. Cheerilee jumped in surprise and blushed "Do you know about that too? I had no idea what I was doing or saying while I was under the effects of that potion" "You and Applejack's brother with the name of a Burger King hamburger, became inseparable, you couldn't be apart for a minute. The potion also made you two have incredible strength, Burger King... I mean Big Mac, he moved a house while that you, Cheerilee, broke a large part of Carousel Boutique with your Hulk super strength!" "There's no way that actually happened" Cheerilee said while covering her face with embarrassment. "Actually Cheerilee, that did happen...and Andy stop calling my brother weird nicknames!" Apple Bloom exclaimed, but you could tell she couldn't hold back her laughter either. "I'm sorry, but in my world there is a restaurant that serves hamburgers with the same name as Big Mac. As I said, the best part was the cheesy way they referred to each other" I prepared my voice to imitate the voice of Big Mac and Cheerilee "Cheerilee says. my shmoopy-doopy sweetie-weetie pony pie. Big mac says. You're my shmoopy-doopy sweetie-weetie pony pie. Cheerilee responds with, you're my cutie-patootie lovie-dovie honey-bunny. And Big mac counter attack with, my cuddly-wuddly boopsie-woopsie pumpkin pie. But really, I hope Cheerilee, you refer to me as your lovely, huggable, strong and cool human" We all started laughing, Cheerilee was redder than ever but she was the one who laughed the hardest, she still has a hard time believing she said all those things, it was a good moment. The CMC said their last words before saying goodbye, they had to return to their homes because it was around two in the afternoon. "Goodbye mister Hunter, hope to see you soon!" "You're very funny Andy, I hope you and Miss Cheerilee get married" "If you want you can visit us in our Clubhouse is not far from here and have some fun together!" "Have a good day Cutie Mark Crusaders, send my greetings to Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash" I think I'll stay at Cheerilee's house and visit Stellar Flare tomorrow. Fluttershy should know this too, because if I don't tell her, she might worry about me if I don't come back at night. Cheerilee and I were walking together towards Fluttershy's house, I had explained to her that she is like my mother since she was the first pony I met, giving me a home and food. "Andy, is that shirt you're wearing, the creature that looks like you, is she your sister or something like that? The wind had blown causing my jacket to reveal the shirt I was wearing, it was Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3. "She's not a relative, she's a fictional character from a horror game in my world, her name is Heather Mason. That game is very scary but fun" "Oh, you like scary things from what I see, any anecdotes you have related to that game? Cheerilee asked curiously, it was obvious that she wanted to know more about me. "Absolutely, I'm a big fan of horror games. There was this one time when I was playing Silent Hill 3 late at night with all the lights off. I was so immersed in the game that when a particularly creepy monster suddenly appeared on the screen while I was looking for a key item, I nearly fell off my chair! My heart was racing for hours afterward. But you know, the thrill of those games and the adrenaline rush they give you can be quite addictive" Cheerilee started to laugh at my answer "That was really funny and creepy at the same time! It's a shame that in Equestria we don't have those things, it would be fun to have a good time of scares, you and me" "Don't worry, we will find another way to have fun, being by your side is what matters most" I said to Cheerilee as I looked into her eyes, we both blushed. I didn't have the courage to ask her this before, but I think it's the perfect time..."Cheerilee... due can we not hold hands- hoof while we're walking, what do you say if I carry you in my arms?" "Of course Andy, I'm a little embarrassed since all the ponies will see us but hugging you will make me feel safer" Cheerilee said, extending her front hooves for me to hug her and carry her. I carried Cheerilee in my arms as we continued walking towards Fluttershy's house, her head resting comfortably on my shoulder. The ponies we passed by looked at us with curiosity and surprise, but I didn't mind. I was too busy enjoying the moment with Cheerilee to care about what others thought. "You're my pony strawberry cupcake with vanilla covered in chocolate and orange juice" I told Cheerilee as a joke about Big Mac, I couldn't resist continuing to joke with that. Cheerilee giggled at my playful remark "Well, you're my human cinnamon roll with extra frosting and a side of hot cocoa" she replied with a grin. We continued our light-hearted banter as we approached Fluttershy's house. END
