//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Friendship is F*cking Magic // Story: Equestria, What A Place. // by 254Ddubman //------------------------------// "Hey Pinkie Pie, How much do we owe you for the snack anyway?" said Twilight after the laughter we shared about hygiene. "Oh, Don't worry about it." Pinkie Pie assured Twilight. "I didn't make it anyway. Plus, brand new friends are on the house!" "Wow, Thanks Pinkie Pie, If I come back again, will it still be free?" I questioned the mare. "NOPE!" she simply replied smiling. The scene then went quiet for a few seconds until Twilight broke the silence. "Well, We have to get going, I'm sure we don't want to smell like this forever." "Good point." I said resisting to sniff myself. "Peace Pinkie, See you around." "Okie dokie lokie, see ya Twilight. Hope to see you again Stanley." Pinkie Pie said while waving us off as we left the back door of the bakery. -------------------------------------- "So, Are you coming back to my place?" Twilight questioned as we headed out. The question was really interesting to me. So I rose a concerning eyebrow. Twilight then got the gist of what she said, and started to blush. "No, Like that!" she said disregarding any inconvenience. "It's okay Twilight, I knew what you meant." I said assuring Twilight about the joke. But still, it was pretty interesting thought. "I was planning on going back to Fluttershy's and taking a shower there, considering the fact that I possibly live there until this point on." I continued, telling Twilight about my plans. "Oh, Um... What about your clothes?" she asked with a worried expression on her face. "Can't you just, like. Use your magic horn thingy to teleport it there somehow?" "I could try." She replied with a hoof on her chin. "Alright then, I guess I'll be going." I said making my way. "Alright Stan. I'll see you around." replied Twilight as I wondered off. I still had the feeling she was sad for some reason, but I wasn't sure for what exactly. I soon made my towards the course I remembered on how to get to Fluttershy's. I memory was kinda hazy but I think I knew the route. It was by some kind of forest, or something, right? Dude seriously, You need to really figure out how to get back to our world. "I know, but i'm pretty sure that's going to be awhile though. Might as well enjoy myself while i'm at it." And your starting to be okay with this whole "Talking Horse" thing, huh? "Hey, If a horse can help out making cupcakes. They are alright in my book" Your starting to really freak me out, dude..... I started to receive those anonymous stares again as I was talking to myself. Apparently these ponies really wanted to know why I was going back and forward into there town, Because one them came trotting up to me causally. Never in my day that i'll even think to see this types of horse here. "Um, what are you suppose to be." one mare said looking up and down at my height. She wore magenta bows in her orange mane and had light blue coat... oh and did I forget to mention she was wearing "hipster" clothes I SHIT YOU NOT. But I replied anyway. "Well obviously i'm the one and only, Batman, nice too meet you." I joked to the mares. But they simply took it seriously. "Batman?, That's such an un-cool name." said the second hipster pony who had orange glasses covering her pink coat with a blue and light blue mane. "Oh my apologies, call me Bob instead." I assured the hipster duet as I bowed. I wasn't very sure where I was going with this joke, but I just didn't want to talk to hipsters, not even on my planet. Says the guy, who says the word "SWAG", on numerous occasions. "Well.... Bob, We've seen you come by Ponyville a couple times, and we wanted to know exactly who you were." said the light blue hipster mare with. "Yea, You sure don't look like a pony, and you stink too. Explain yourself." said the other hipster mare sporting the glasses. I really didn't feel like answering random questions from a couple of valley horses. So I simply turned around and continued on my route, completely ignoring the mares. "Eat your vegetables!" Was the last thing I said before waving them off as I left. They just stood there frozen, over the complete randomness that took place. I recall there names being "Surf & Turf", but I really didn't give a shit. -------------------------------------- I finally saw Fluttershy's cottage from a close distance, and began to run as it was getting dark from the afternoon. Making my way up the hill and closing in on the door. I began to knock. "Hey Fluttershy, Ya here?" I said as I knocked...But no answer. I began to become pissed at the fact that I might've made my way here for no reason. But just to be sure, I knocked again. "Fluttershy, It''s me...Stan!" I said again as I knocked. "St-Stan?" was all I heard before the cottage door started to open. And on the other side was Fluttershy wearing a robe. "I thought you were still in a comma." She asked as she opened the door. "Just got out of it today, I feel better than ever now." I replied, assuring about my condition. "That's Fantastic!" Fluttershy said rushing in for a tight hug. It practically broke my bones. "I thought you left and got yourself hurt because of me." continued Fluttershy as we hugged. "Why would even think of something like that?" I asked, confused on her theory. She became quiet for a moment and released the hug. Starting to look at the ground she answered "I thought you would rather die, than stay here." She finally spoke. I shocked at her answer though. I might've probably tried to commit suicide before. But that was on another occasion. I would never do it intentionally. "Aw come on Fluttershy, Why would I go and do something like that." I asked her with a raised eyebrow. She then began to blush over the dramatization. "Your right, I just thought the worst. That's all." "It's okay, plus I wasn't even trying to get hurt. Applejack's BIG brother Big Mac came in and attacked me." I told Fluttershy as I tried to describe his size. "Oh My, Well your okay now and that's all that matters." Fluttershy said warmly inviting into her home. It was exactly the way it was since I left. Looking around I began to smell myself over the odor of days sinking in. "Man, Wheres Twilight with those clothes?" I thought to myself walking around the cottage. "Is something wrong?" Fluttershy finally asked with concern of me looking around the cottage. "I was suppose to some new clothes from Twilight. She was suppose to use her magic and teleport it here... But I don't se-..." Almost at a instant as I finished my sentence. A bright flash appears in the middle of the living room. Harsh winds also occurred in the room as the magical glow brightened. It all soon can to an abrupt stop as the brightness faded away. It was my clothes.. "Wow, Spoke too soon I guess." I said as I walked up to the convenience. "Is that it?" Fluttershy spoke hiding behind some furniture, unaware of what happened. "Yea, it's safe." I replied picking up the clothes. Rarity did an awesome job making this for me. The cotton was so smooth, and she even through some socks in there too. There was also a note on top of the pile of clothes stating... ----------------------------------------------- Dear Stan, I hope these fit you, because they were much of a struggle wiping up. I also added socks, so your species "hooves" don't get cold. Enjoy! ,Rarity. ----------------------------------------------- It was awfully nice of her to go through the struggle making my clothing, I didn't even have to pay.. I guess friendship is really taken to a whole other level in this world. Still holding the note, I turned it to the back to see if there was anything there. And as I expect.. There was. ----------------------------------------------- Dear Stan, I hope you got the clothes you wanted, because doing this spell was "no" joke. I half way passed out attempting it. So keep in mind it wasn't an easy procedure. See you around. ,Twilight Sparkle. ----------------------------------------------- "Hmph, I guess she thinks I owe her, or something." I thought to myself as I read the back. I then turned my head towards Fluttershy, who seemed to be getting calm after the commotion. "Hey Fluttershy, I'm going to take a quick shower." "Okay, Don't you want anything to eat? the mare asked. "No i'm fine, I ate some cupcakes before I got here." "Alright then, I guess i'll make me a little something then." "Okay." I replied as I made my way up the stairs. I was little more cautious walking up them this time. I didn't want to trip and fall again, I've been knocked out enough here already. As I made my way towards the bathroom. I see that snow white bunny again as it hoped away somewhere. "Still a peaceful place to leave." I thought as I opened the bathroom door. I would explain what happened when I got in the shower but... that really isn't necessary or important... OH! Now explaining "certain" themes is unnecessary now, is it? After I got through getting rid of that hellacious smell, I picked up my clothing I was going to wear, and darted into the hallway, looking for any nearby empty room......I know what your thinking. "Why did you leave the bathroom without changing your clothes you dumb fuck?" and well... To answer that question, I never felt comfortable changing in the bathroom on my world. What if I slip and fall landing inside of a toilet bowl. Plus during college, alot people want to use the bathroom while i'm still in there, so I just do it so stuff can seem less awkward to me... especially in another universe. I stepped foot inside a dark room. I search up and down to see where the light switch was. It took a while but I finally found it, and at a flick of the switch, the room was lit. As I started to observe the room, I knew immediately that it was Fluttershy's. Bird feeders hanging, butterfly bed spread, plants growing everywhere. It was pretty obvious. "Woah, This room is pretty...Swag." I said to myself as I observed the room. SEE, there you go again. "I'll just be quick" I said while beginning to change into my apparel. As I searched for the underwear, I hear someone climbing upstairs. "shit...Shit...SHIT!" was all I thought as I was rushing the underwear on my body. "I can't let her see me like this, and in her room also!" I said finally getting my underwear on and started to search for my pants as fast as I could...BUT!...it was too late. Why are all these horses trying to look at your manhood? All? Only Rarity and her sister saw it. Sure, They're the "only" ones. What? What do you....Aww, just forget it. Getting back to the situation at hand, I stood there with my body and my underwear exposed to the yellow shy mare. That bunny was there too, both speechless. It also came to my attention that she made a sandwich for herself before coming, because it was now on the ground from shock. "Um, Oh, Sorry...I didn't mean to." Fluttershy uttered trying to explain. "No it's okay, its your room anyway." I assured her, slowly putting on my pants in awkwardness. After I said that..she SNAPPED. "your right, THIS IS MY ROOM! Why in the hay are you changing in MY ROOM anyway? Maybe if you had your own house, I wouldn't have to worry about a naked species changing clothes in MY ROOM!" She screamed with frustration. To me, this is an immediate change in character for her, I expected this kind of talk from...Rainbow Dash...And I barely even knew her. "Um you okay...Fluttershy." I asked concerned about the sudden change of tone. "I'll be just fine, if you weren't here." she snapped back OUCH. "Um, well...... I could leave." I said in a confused tone. "Great, while your out you could look for a new place to stay while your at it....If you don't mind." She replied back in her normal voice. In my mind i'm thinking "What. The. Fuck". But in reality, I was pretty casual about the situation. I just found it unusual for her to act this way. But she was right, this is her home, And I was going to have to go eventually if I couldn't find a way back to my world. "Alright, I guess i'll see you....later?" In asked her while I was putting my shirt on. "Alright Stan. See you around." she replied in a happy tone a voice. I then left room as she began to clean up the sandwich mess. I began climbing down the stairs and leaving out the front door in a normal manner. It then came to my attention that is was night. One part of me wanted to knock back on the door and apologize for whatever I did, so she'll let me in. But the part of me wanted to say "Fuck It." and continue on walking in the night sky....I chose that one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Walking in the night didn't really scare me like it usually did on my world. I mean, what could some talking horses do, that would be terrifying? Expect injure me in one tackle... And to be honest I wasn't even sure where I was going, what I was going to do, where I was going to sleep.... Where my chips was... I wasn't really hungry, but a snack couldn't hurt, right? Why....Why are you not fat? High metabolism Oh. I'm your brain, and I didn't even know that. I started to make way north of Fluttershy's house where a forest was. I believe that Princess Celestia pony could probably have a solution to all of this, since basically she the president here. Going through the woods was easier than I thought also, just a couple of hazards like branches with claws, trees with scary faces, hungry wood shaped wolves looking towards my direction...you know the usual.......Wait A Minute..... fucking. RUN! I refused to disagree with my mind this time. I ran as fast as I could , as they bolted towards me. I knew I wasn't going to make out of this alive, because if I didn't have a chance running away from the burger, What makes me think I'll be any faster then these things. Running out breath, I quickly turn around to see the hounds closer then I expected. Then A thought came into my head. "HUGS!, Hugs solve everything here." I said stopping in my tracks.. I turned around quickly to see the beasts, and stretched my arms out for embrace. "Here goes nothing." I said clinching my eyes shut as the creatures got closer. But suddenly....I hear a flash of mystical power in front of me. I refused to open my eyes at the mayhem that was going about. Huge winds started to occur in front of me, the magical glow became brighter. After what seemed like a couple of seconds, everything went quiet. I finally got the will to open my eyes to see the actions that just took place. That was when I saw it.... Another horse....But this one was kinda different. It was much taller then the one's I was use to seeing. Her mane and tail colors was glowing with a mixture of blues. She also had a moon tattooed on her left thigh. This must be one of those "one of a kind" horses. "Are you okay, my loyal creature?" the mare asked, slowly turning towards my direction. "Um yea, What just happened exactly?" I responded, being unaware of what just happened. "A pack of hungry timberwolves were chasing you. It then came to my intention that you were defenseless, so I whisked the creatures off to somewhere yonder." "So...You saved me?" I questioned the mare. "Of course. No creature shall be harmed under my vision of the night." "Riiiight. And What was your name again?" "Thou shall call me Princess Luna" she replied, revealing her royalty. She must be one of those royal fucks Applejack has been telling me about. Maybe she knew a faster way of getting to Princess Celestia. "Well thank you Princess Luna, I gladly appreciate you saving me. Do you mind if I asked you for a favor though?" "What is thou request?" She replied with curiosity. "Well... Aren't you the sister of Princess Celestia?" "MmmmHmmm..." Luna replied while staring at the moon. "And you do know all the fastest ways to get to Canterlot, right?" I continued beginning to scratch my neck for the next question. But this time she didn't replay. She just stood there gazing up at the moon. "Are you even listening?" I asked, frustrated at her concentration skills. "I like to come out here every night, Just to look at the beauty of the moon I have risen." She finally responded... In the most bizarre of ways. Dude, Obviously this horse is emo. You should probably bail before things get more.... awkward. Well, my brain was right again. I wasn't going to get much help from her. But at least she saved me massacred by wood...I believe that didn't come out As the mare gazed on about the moon, I tip toed out of the scene to make sure she didn't notice if I was gone. I then continued my way onward to the direction I was originally going upon the forest. Still walking for what seemed like forever, I began to get tired. But luckily I spotted a conveniently placed park bench at the end of the forest. "Oh finally! Somewhere to rest." I thought to myself, as I headed towards destination. I calmly sat down and relaxed for a while, thinking about how things will go tomorrow, making my way to the princess. I soon dozed off into a quick nap, recalling all the madness that took place this day...
