Entering Into A Strange New World

CH III The Unlikely Awaking

It has been four days before Fluttershy meet Fluffy. Ever since Fluttershy sing to Fluffy, he smiles throughout those days and he still does. She cannot believe her singing could tame his nightmare. Besides checking on Fluffy’s conditions, giving him the medications that he needs, all in all everything seems fine. There is one problem that is on Fluttershy’s mind. Twilight Sparkle. She been studying Fluffy countless hours barely came out with nothing since she cannot get a fully examination without him still being injure. What worst about it is that she could not find Lyra. Her roommate friend Bon Bon told Twilight that she went visit to her family in Canterlot. Apparently she been rambling about finding her family’s legacy research and she took the book with her. Lyra may comeback this afternoon since Bon Bon mentions that she going to have practice with Octavia at the park.

Meanwhile back Fluttershy's cottage, it was normal morning for her until a knock at the front door.

“I wonder who that could be?” As Fluttershy open the door to see Rarity. She is all too relieved once she sees her.

“Good morning Fluttershy darling I hope you are ready for taking care them.” Rarity said

“Taking care of who?” Fluttershy respond, did she forget about something?

“Why us of course Fluttershy!” pops out three colorful little fillies and quickly went inside of Fluttershy’s cottage.

“Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo?” Fluttershy said as she completely forgot to take care them today since Sapphire Shores is suppose to pick up her order from Rarity.

“Darling have you forgot about taking care them today?” Rarity said

“Well maybe, because you know Fluffy.” Fluttershy respond, which makes the fillies curious.

“Fluttershy who is Fluffy?” Apple Bloom came close to her.

“Well I do not know what he and all know he needs my care right now.”

“Ooo… you got new animal friend may we see him Ms. Fluttershy?” Sweetie Belle is trying to look for Fluffy in the living room.

“I’m sorry girls, he is very sick and do not know when he is going wake up.” Fluttershy quickly respond back.

“Ahhh.” As they do it simultaneously.

“Wait a minute Fluffy is sick right?” Scootaloo looks at Fluttershy and she nod back at her.

“Girls you what that means.” Each of the little fillies takes a deep breath.

“Quick Fluttershy cover your ears!” As they quickly cover their ears, and Fluttershy hopes that this does not wake up Fluffy.

“CUTIE MARK VETS!” As the Cutie Marks Crusaders cheering about their new plan a loud scream came above them, which caught them off guard.

“What in the name of Celestia is that?” Rarity lets go her ears.

“Well that is umm…Fluffy. I guess he woke up from your cheer girls.”

“Why is he sleeping in your bed Fluttershy?” Sweetie Belle question Fluttershy.

“Well he is not little pet and I didn’t know where to put him?” Fluttershy smile at them, the fillies does not seem to buy it, but within time they agreed. Sweetie Belle came close to her.

"What happen to him, Ms. Fluttershy?"

"Well as far as I know is that Fluffy got injured from a pack Timberwolves and escaped from them from a river." The fillies did not believe what they are hearing.

Scootaloo said “Hold on there for a second Fluttershy, not only Fluffy of yours is sick, but he also injure too?”

"It has been awhile when I found him, so by now with the help of Twilight's magic, he should be well enough to stand, but not for a long time."

“May we see Fluffy, Fluttershy?” As the three fillies surrounding and giving me their puppy eyes look.

“I suppose, but I need you girls to promise one thing.” The fillies gasps from what they just heard.

“Isn’t one of those pinkie promise? You know what happen to my sis when she almost broke one of those.” Said Apple Bloom

“No isn’t, and beside once he is fully recovery I’ll show him to Twilight and the others.”

“So what is the promise then?”

“Promise me that once you see him you won’t freak out.” Fillies look at one another wondering what she had meant.

“Come on now there Fluttershy ever since Zercoa’s incident how can we possibly lose our apples like that?” As Apple Bloom and her friends climb up the stairs to see Fluffy.

“Fluttershy?” said Rarity

“What is it Rarity?” Fluttershy turns around to see her friend. From the looks of her eyes she could easily tell that her friend need something to tell her.

“Fluttershy when is the last time that Fluffy been fed?”

“I didn't. This is the first time he's awake since he got here.”

Sweetie Belle!” The Fillies once again did it simultaneously.


************************************************************************


I woke up from the energy of the sun and I found myself to be in a bed. It felt quite comfortable and I could feel my feet touching the wood of the side bed. I began rise up myself from the bed and touch my surrounding to see if I could find my glasses. Soon came to realize that I am naked as I feel the cold breeze made contact to my skin. I grab the sheet and make a toga out of it. It would be cooler like the Romans if it did not have checkerboard pattern with butterflies sheet, but hey what I can do about it. I went on further on examine the room what little of my eyesight could give me. The room kind of looks like a little girl’s room as I see colorful banners, a hope chest, and sides of the bed had hearts shape pieces. Beside the little girly stuffs there is fireplace, and I believe birdhouses hanging above me.

I try to remember what happen me last night. There was a cottage with lots of animals in the backyard, which I look outside to see them roaming; check. Next I remember that I recorded my video in the bathroom, still wondering where it is. Then I meant the owner of this place…was a little Pegasus?

I try to picture it from what happen to me, but then waves of loud echoes driving into my ears. I quickly cover my ear while I scream of pain. Just like that the echo stops. I lay down on the floor and took a couple of minutes to recover. As I resting I could feel the floor as footsteps come closer to me. Judging of each steps there maybe about twelve people coming for me. They probably knock me out since I intruding their grounds. Once my ears could hear again I put my head against the door to hear their conversations and it’s unlike any Europe language I heard before. Yet I still having a feeling that is not the case, but I do not like encountering unfamiliar land that I do not know where I am. I search a way to hind myself for the moment. I made a decision to go out in the window. I took each step carefully since one of my arm is still injure, but the grass that was on top of the cottage help me a little. Just I went outside the door open. I took a peek from window to see and I couldn’t believe it.

There were three food and they were huge. The first one was light purple cotton candy. The second fried chicken leg with some kind of purple seasoning on it. The last one was yellow apple with two red gummy worms. How odd that apple one had a pink bow, but my stomach starts to rumble. I guess I haven’t eaten anything for about two days. I hear the foods talking to each other? For what it seems they are looking for me. For talking foods I should hide myself for a while since I don‘t know what if these foods could eat people, but my stomach rumbles again. This time the cotton candy heard me, and quickly went to the window. I carefully slid across the cottage, but I wasn’t fast enough. I think cotton candy spot me as it was talking to the other foods. I have no choice, but to take the cotton candy with me. I grab it and headed to the door. The cotton candy screams as I took it. The others soon follow me. I headed to enter of the cottage before I made it out I saw two figures. I couldn’t make it out what they were.

Outside I see birdhouses on each tree around, trail that lead to a small wood bridge and beyond it was a small village. I almost made my way out, but I suddenly trip. I hold on to the cotton candy. I rise up on my feet to see a giant marshmallow with purple frosting. Soon the other two foods came along. I also notice that the marshmallow seems bigger than the rest of the foods maybe it is the leader of the group.

“Stay back you sweet delicious foods or your cotton candy gets it ha ha ha!” As I rise up the cotton candy above me. I hear the foods talking to each other or maybe try to talk me out of it. Since I don’t know what are they talking about so I hold my sweet hostage to my chest. The marshmallow comes closer to its head and I begin to glow purple aura around it. Soon my body rises off the ground as I see myself to glow too. Then the rest food start to scream so they were the ones hurt my ears. For a good reason (if I want to hear again) I have to let go my hostage. Once the screaming stops I see the cotton candy is hugging with the marshmallow? Oh no I hope they aren’t a family.

“Wait I can easily ex-” Before I could finish the marshmallow use it ability or something to lead my body into tree after tree. I’m already hurt enough, but this is overdoing it. I try pretending that I was passed out and sure enough the marshmallow stops. I hear the foods talking to each other again and footsteps coming towards me. I feel a pat on my head so I slowly open my eyes. I see light cyan eyes staring at me. I at the moment I was frozen from the sight of those beautiful eyes, but in someway the owners of eyes wants me to talk to her at least I think it's a women. Those eyes could not belong to any man; I could see the pure innocent inside of them and yet just watching them have made my body weaken. I need to tell her before I pass out.

“Please I need food any kind I’m so hungry.”


********************************************************************************


With Fluffy pass out in front of Fluttershy, the group only have one thought in their heads 'What are we going to do with him?' Rarity suggests that it is time to bring the rest of their friends, it will matter of time before he wakes up again. Fluttershy flew to Ponyville while Rarity and fillies to watch Fluffy. It will be easy from them since they know one of his key weaknesses. Half an hour pass when they arrive. Applejack came along with her cart and a large sheet. Twilight thought it would best if they cover Fluffy since she does not want the citizens to go crazy again like they did when they thought Zecora was an evil sorceress. The travel is not much of a problem, but Fluffy's hands and legs keeps coming out when they come across a bump on the road. Once they made it to the library, Twilight sent Fluffy to the basement seeing that they do not want anypony to see 'monster' in Ponyville's library. The group insists Fluttershy to take care the Cutie Mark Crusaders at Sweet Apple Acres and Rarity, who also have to give Sapphire Shores' clothes back at her shop.

Twilight began to experimenting on Fluffy, and discovers that his brain wave are acted the same when he is awake even though he is asleep as if his dreams are real. Twilight remembers a spell to enter of one pony's dreams and she was planning to do it on Spike in about a week or so and yet it difficult one to cast it. One such of a spell can take a lot of magic. She never really truly understands of dreams since she sometimes spent a whole night studying. This is a perfect opportunity for her study on Fluffy where originally came from without using translation spell. Two hours pass by Fluffy's body begins to shift and Rarity finished with her delivery. Twilight have her notes ready for the test and the foods too. She tells her friends to get ready for their position if Fluffy avoid the test or does anything that could harm to them, they will be ready. The test is simple if Fluffy eats the salad they know he is an herbivore or he eats the raw meat, well she have to tell Fluttershy to make sure that he does not come to Ponyville anytime soon. Now they all have to wait and see.



********************************************************************************


“What’s going on were am I this time?” I look around to see I in some sort of laboratory. I see flashing lights machineries were at my surrounding and some bookshelves. I rise myself up but the pain from my body prevent it. I look at my body to see I was still naked, some new bruises, but at least someone gave me a sheet to cover my lower half.

“Well I think I was better this morning. That I think is today or something?” I say to myself without realizing a group of voices talking to each other again.

“Hello? I know there someone is here with me.” Yet nobody respond back to me.

“I’m lost, I don’t know were you put my clothes and my backpack?” At that moment my stomach rumbles of hunger. Soon three bowls appear in front of me. The first bowl in the left has salad with cut pieces of apples. The second bowl has fresh water, which I quickly consume it. I never in my life the taste of water was this
Refreshing. I could still feel its cold as it coming down to my stomach. The water was so rich and pure as if not one spec of pollution ever even contact with it. Once I finished drinking I put bowl down where I first saw it. The last bowl has raw meat. Whoever giving me these foods surly does not know that this meat is not cook.

‘What do they think I am a animal?’ I thought to myself as begin eating the salad. I amaze that salad was best salad ever taste in me whole life. In the matter fact it’s the only food I could even remember. I continue eating my salad I hear writing and whispers.

“You know it is not wise for someone taking backs of others now please come front so I could talk to one of you.” Again I hear more writing.

“Enough if you cannot show yourself I am going to find my way out.” I walk out from light trying to find a door or something. I hear the voices shouting at me then my senses start kick in as I move to right. I see someone almost crash into me, but it miss landed in itself to the wall. I turn around to the main source of light and throw one of the two empty bowls. Suddenly somehow I hear someone screaming in a feminist voice in pain after the light went out. The bowl must have landed on her head, but it doesn’t matter for me now; I just need to find a way to get out of here. Luckily there is light coming from above me. It seems that I am in the basement of building as I crawl my way up. As I about to reach it, a purplish light lit up the whole room. I exam the whole with this new source of light and to find out I am definitely in a basement. It would be easier for them to put me in some sort police room, but I guess they did not have one.

With my train of thought of examining the room my senses starts to kick in again, but I was too late for it. My mid-body rap by a lasso. Wait I have just been lasso? I follow the trail that lead me its holder and I am what struck the situation I am just in now. Right in front of me is an orange pony. It have blonde mane, a cowboy hat, and to top it all off the pony has ponytails both of its mane and tail. By the look of its eyelashes being close and ponytails so that means I’m being lasso by a pony cowgirl or something like that? With the confusion I hear a voices coming from my right side. There were three more of them talking to I guess to cowgirl pony, but their physical forms seems different then the other.

The first one was light purple pony its long mane had three set of colors bluish purple, normal purple, and I think its dark pink. Also the pony’s eyes were color purple as its mane. Well it have seems that I don’t know that much of colors, but I do know now that ones that I encounter so far were all females. I see things floating around the purple pony. A quill and another was a scroll. Also that same purple glow is surrounding pony’s horn. Wait this pony is a unicorn and she could do something with that horn of hers? The second is a pony just like cowpony (ok from now on I will call her Orange after I know her official name) except she all pink with Afro mane and tail. I am surprise that her eyes are blue not pink. This pinkie seems a little bit wilder than the others since she keeps jumping and smiling nonstop at me. The last one is another unicorn, but something about her seems awfully familiar. Searching…searching…searching…wait a minute is she the marshmallow? I can recognize of her colors from the last time we met. Note to self beware of unicorns.

On back to Orange, she not willing to give up as I try to out strength her, but the more I tug the harder it gets. Well if I cannot beat her and her friends with brute force maybe intelligent tactics will. I keep on pulling and she did the same. I try not showing these ponies what am I planning after a few tugs I put into action. I run at Orange and struck her snout. She did not even notice me until it too late. She let go of the rope, it impact her off the stairs and lands on another pony that have not seen before. That pony could have tried impacting me when the light went out and if it is I could easily take her down. Yet I could not let my guard down on these ponies or anything less now. Now I am on own and why do I have a feeling I say that before.

I made my way out of the basement and right n front of me where three out of five ponies ready to attack me. I look at my surrounding again and this time bookshelves were everywhere. This gave me an idea. Right on cue music starts to play which confuse them. Now is my chance. I begin to throw the books at the ponies. The purple one got angry and stops the books in mid with her... magic? I need to drop all scientific knowledge’s that I once knew back on Earth or else I go Looney in the matters of seconds. She starts to rambling about something that it is clearly I do not understand, but I think these books. 'I wonder?' I thought to myself as I throw another book at her. Like she did before she stop it with her magic and again rambling at me. So she is the bookworm of the group and she must be the ringleader. One fact I do know about bookworms that they do not like their books being destroys. I keep throwing more books at the ponies, but I left the ones that look valuable and old. Marshmallow did the same as Bookworm by catching them with her magic, but having trouble to keep up. Pinkie just thinking while we continue our battle, which made me scare if her even more. Once I ran out, I could see that Bookworm made a book front. Did she just make a fool out of me? Whatever let see who gets the last laugh. I grab the old books and slowly get away from the ponies as much as possible. Bookworm is wondering why I have not thrown any of the books. I open one of them and start to rip the front page. There are no words to describe of how mad I made her, but only in detail. Her entire body burst into flames. Her coat turn the white as Marshmallow, her mane and tail turn to flames, and her eyes turn red. I feel the heat from her flames and I was not the only who felt more than just that.

Marshmallow who is closer to Bookworm got her mane on fire. She run like crazy and taking to herself, which I believe she is saying that can anyone save her. What happen to pink one? One minute she there next to them and the next she is gone. Even though she is the one who gave me these extra bruise again, but I cannot let anyone suffer like this. I headed towards and carrying her to the nearest water source. While carrying her I try to put the flames off her mane, but her hooves keeps hitting my face. I wonder if I would survive this day? I mange to find the kitchen of the building, turn on the sink and quickly dump her head. I hear a scream and I turn around to see Bookworm there. She somehow did not even notice that everyone around her have left and begin on searching on one of us (but most likely me). She just has to be on time of seeing me 'drowning' her friend. She was about beam up her magic at me, but she interrupt by a mental clapping together beside me. There is a window and in between it there is a light blue metal tube sticking out at me. With no time to waste I push Marshmallow away from me and shut my eyes "This going to leave a mark.". I could feel the impact as it hit directly my chest and I could have sworn I hear confetti noise. It fling me across the whole building even I break through a wooden door and out of the building. I could hear voices yelling at me as I flew pass them. My speed starts to decline; I open my eyes to see where I am about to land. My location seems to be a park as I could see younger version of ponies playing along as their innocent lives passing them by. I about to land into near by tree and me without wings there is nothing I can do about it. The landing did not help at all and once I fell down to the ground I pass out. I get a feeling that this is going to be a long day for me.
