//------------------------------// // No, I don't hide under your bed. // Story: A Mothers Love // by BadgerBrony900 //------------------------------// "Well, I guess on pony standards you would be considered fat, but I don't know about human standards, I would say you're the size of an average american." Pinkie said examining my stomach with her hoof. "Average what?" Thinking I just heard Pinkie wrong.. "Nothing!" Pinkie said before bursting off leaving me and Flutter Shy. "Soooooo, Hows life?" I say trying to make an attempt at conversation. "Don't kill me." All I could hear was squeaking. "Speak up?" I said trying to make my face look as innocent as possible. "OH CELESTIA ITS MAKING SCARY FACES AT ME" Well that didn't work. "What? Do I hide under your bed too?" I said jokingly. What felt like a pat to the face in her attempt to smack me. Than her dashing under the table. "Oh c'mon I don't really hide under beds, like I said I'm to fat too." I said motioning to my stomach " Are you sure you don't hide under my bed?" "No Flutter..... Shy, I don't hide under your bed." I attempted forgetting her name for a second. "No, Not your closet either." I said before she spoke up again. I bent down on my knees and looked under table. "As long as you don't eat me, I ummmm..... We can be friends." she said slowly and cautiously making her way from under the table. She brushed herself off before getting a good look of me. It still seemed she was scared of me; Most likely the reason that i'm completely different species and completely new person to her. "Any way I can make myself less scary to you?" I asked being polite, though wanting to get back to the heart of the party. "Just don't um, eat me and ill be fine." she said her voice not making much change from when we first met. "C'mon Shy, Do you mind if I call you shy?" I asked and she just politely nodded her head, though I thought she didn't enjoy a pet name. "Okay Shy, I am going to return to the party and try to get to know some more ponies. What are you going to do?" I said giving a small wave and started to slowly walk away. "I think i'm going to stay here." she whispered slowly resuming her position under the table. "Okay then, cya later shy." I said as I walked away. "Oh there you are fatty." I turned around to see who the voice came from. "Oh hey Lyra, sorry I got lost in the party... And i'm not fat!" I said kneeling down to her eye level. "So what do you need?" I asked patting her head. "Well, its a party, and what do you do at parties?" she asked giving me a smirk. "Well duh, you go to sleep!" I responded smiling back. She sighed and grabbed my hand and started dragging me along. "Just c'mon and start partying with me." We reached the heart of the party as she dragged me to the middle of the dance floor, all of the ponies to engrossed with the party to even notice me. "Ummmm..... So you want me to dance?" I whispered into Lyra's ear. "Duhhh, can you not dance?" she whispered back. "Nope, not at all." I said shrugging. "Well, do your best!" and with those four words Lyra started dancing. Trying to awkwardly fit in I tried dancing without looking like a complete idiot. I was not very successful. Seeing this Lyra started giggling and I just looked at her not amused at all. "Okay okay, you dance pretty horribly, but that just means I got something on you." she said giving me a smirk. Still un amused I gave her a shake of my head. "So is this the first time or does Pinkie usually throw a party every time someone-, somepony new comes?" I asked Lyra as I hopelessly continued dancing. "She just throws party for any occasion, I think once she threw a party for herself....or the other Pinkie, Well I don't remember there was at least 30 of them." she said giving a slight shrug. "So do you do anything?" I asked looking to her cutie mark. "Hey you perv, don't look there." she said giving a wink to which I gave another un amused face. She just laughed and continued "Well I play my harp and get a few bits here and there, but my roommate pays most of the rent. "Oh I see." I said giving a nod while I stopped dancing for a bit. "So what do you do for a living?" she asked me. "Well...Too young to really try for a job, so I just earn money by doing chores around the house. But as a hobby I draw a little." I said resuming my awful dance moves. "Too young for a job? Well how old are ya?" she asked most likely thinking I was just too lazy. "14" was all I responded with. "14? Now you're going to tell me you are still in school aren't you?" she said laughing like crazy which caused us to gain the attention of a few ponies. She gave us a nervous smile and the ponies returned to their business. "Well I am still in school." I responded as I almost lost balance dancing. She tried to keep a straight face. Her face slowly red before she burst out laughing. This time more ponies looking our way. She blushed red as we stopped dancing and she led me some where else. "So, you're still in school?" she asked slightly giggling. "Well how old are you?" I asked ignoring the fact that she keeps trying to hold back her laughter. "I'm 16, doofus." she laughed rolling her eyes. "Really? I guess for humans it must be different." I said to myself and her at the same time. "I guess..." she said before things went to an awkward silence. I returned my attention to the party. All the ponies happily dancing, not a care in the world. Unlike earth were everything is so separated and full of hate. If I was a pony and didn't have a family waiting for me on earth, I think I could stay here forever. Every pony so happy, immense joy filling their faces. I could almost go on forever about how our world should be more like this place. Almost forgetting the pony sitting next to me as she observed my though process. "Hey..." she said tapping on my arm. I looked to her as my thoughts cleared and waited for her to continue. "Well um....... Would you consider a relationship with a pony?" The music skirted to a stop and every pony looked towards me. If only I could see my face then.
