Upon waking up from what seemed like a quick nap, It was morning. And I realized I was sitting by someone...or some..."pony". I found it weird nonetheless for animals in this place.... finding it okay to sit by another sleeping unknown species. So I got up a little more off the bench to examine the horse some more, before I gave it a lecture about "privacy".
As I came to open my half sleepy eyes, my visuals is gazed upon a green-blue color coat mare with a light green-blue and white mane. It was like she was staring into my soul with her tangelo eyes, waiting to ask me something. But we just stood there, looking at each other like some kind of still mirror.
"Um, Do you need something?" I finally said, breaking the barrier of awkward silence we had. And what made things even more awkward then it had to be, was that this horse was sitting just like I was, like mimicking the form and everything, she was just kinda slouching though......It looked weird from my point of view.
"Oh, uh sorry......um I..." the mare stuttered, starting to shaking with fear, but the look in her eyes was like she wanted to ask a question.
"Are you okay?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Are you- a.........Human?!" she finally asked with more enthusiasm. You should've saw the reaction on my face towards the question. A mare.....knew who my race was.....she probably knew how to get me home. I got so excited.
"Y-Yes, yes I am!" I said with enthusiasm of my own.
"Ohmygosh, Ohmygosh, Ohmygosh, Ohmygosh! I have so many questions to ask you." the mare said excitedly. She seemed very curious about my species. And I wasn't going to let her down, I guess I can answer a few questions.
"Go ahead! Ask away." I simply said, gearing up for the mares curiosity.
"Okay, Thank you so much by the way. This will be so good for my research!" she continued. "What do you eat? How do you sleep? Hows life in your eyes? What's under your clothes? How many bones do you have?" Her questions kept coming and coming nonstop, and all I simply did was nod my head in agreement to everything she asked. It was then I realized that she finally stop after she asked a question about hair in.....certain places.
"Oh, Well.....You sure do want to know a lot." I told her after she finished her little survey.
"Oh, Yes indeed!" she said with glee and a sly smile. I was kinda stunned by all the questions, I even forgot some. I felt pretty bad that I couldn't answer them all. So I gave her my final draft on human life.
"Um well basically.....We eat, We sleep, We grow up, We fuck, We die." was all I said with the most stable tone I could. It was then the scene grown quiet for a few seconds. The mare's eyebrow raised at the answers she got. Then she finally spoke...
"Fuck? What does that mean exactly?" she asked curiously, over the word she never heard before. I suddenly froze over, struggling to give a honest response.
"Um....Well....It's, ya know....What you do when....you really l-love someone..." I nervously said, with my eyes shifting up and down the mare's body, trying to make her understand the message I was going for. She eventually got it, and well...
"OH! Well t-that's.....interesting to know." she said blushing incredibly hard after realizing the "term". "Well your species seems....different." she continued trying to avoid the.... awkward inconvenience.
"Yea, And I'll be happy to tell you more, if you'd know how to help me that is." I happily implied.
"Help?" the mare questioned.
"Well yea, I'm trying to get back to my world.....And I was wondering if you could take me there, because you knew my species and all.." I told the mare. But she just cocked her head in confusion at the request.
"Your world....Where's that?" she finally spoke, unaware of my situation.
Dude, your obviously not going to get any help from this mare anytime soon. I'd rather get help from that Princess Celestia horse, then sit here answering questions.
Yeah, Your probably right Brain. She probably knows how to get there faster though.
"Hey you." I said to the mare as I rose from the bench.
"Oh, It's Lyra Heartstrings, Mister." she assured me of her name.
"Oh, Then i'm Stan." I said, revealing my name also. "Do you know how to get to Princess Celestia faster from here?" I continued as I questioned the mare.
"Well-, I could fly you there if I had wings, but..... I don't. Other than that, I don't know what to tell you. Unless you have a train ticket." Lyra said, revealing that there's no alternative way of getting there..
"Oh that's just great, looks like I have to continue on foot." I muttered, beginning to walk away. Man if only she could fly, this would be a whole lot easier for me. Maybe I could go back to Fluttershy's and ask for a ride, last I recall she had wings. But then again.....she does flutter.....and she is shy......that won't work out very well.
"WAIT!" I heard the Lyra yell as I started to walk away. "Will I ever see you again? I still have a majority of questions I must ask about you." she continued with concern in her voice. I found it kinda cute that the mare stopped me in my tracks, who knows I might just bump into her later on...
"Sure you'll see me again! Probably in the next 4 chapters or so." I assured the horse. I then continued on my way, as the mare waved me off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuing my way towards "god knows where", I started to get......hungry. No seriously, I didn't eat breakfast or anything from last night, so i'm pretty much starving right now. As I kept walking, A mountain the royal castle sat on came into view.
"Thank God!" I said to myself holding my stomach. "I'm getting pretty close".
How are you going to scale a mountain all by yourself genius?
Almost on cue of the thought, I saw a colorful winged mare soaring though the skies with incredible speed. I was quite certain it was Rainbow Dash, but I wasn't really sure because the horse was going at blinding speed.
"Holy shit she's fast!" I thought to myself watching the mare at work. "And she has wings....hmmmmm." I also thought tp myself, realizing the pegasus abilities. The mare then started to slow down after flying in loops, and headed towards the ground.
"Here's my chance to ask." I said to myself as I walked up to the rainbowed mare.
"HEY, SKITTLES HAIR!" I shouted towards the pegasus, who immediately jumped from the spot she rested, startled at my scream.
"Was that suppose to be an insult?" the mare said with a frustrated tone of voice, slowly flying towards me. I really shouldn't make her mad if I want her to do this favor.
"Um, No. Matter of fact..... it's considered a compliment where i'm from." I simply said to the mare, hoping she'll buy it.
"Oh..." said Rainbow Dash slightly blushing from the inconvenience.
Dude.....Nice save.
"But you didn't have to yell at me, ya know. I was just about rest up after some really tough flying exercises." continued the mare, with the returned frustrated tone.
"You know what... Your right, I'm sorry I interrupted your thing." I stated towards her in a settled voice.
"Ehh, It's alright. It wasn't anything important." the mare assured me with her normal voice. "Say? What brings you all the way out here anyway?" she continued as she laid on her hunches.
"That's exactly what I was about to ask you." I explained to the mare. "I'm trying to ask this Princess Celestia pony how to get back to my world."
"But Canterlot is all the way up on that mountain, how are you expecting to get there by yourself?"
"I was hoping.... I could....ride you there." I awkwardly said scratching my neck, not looking towards the mare in question. A cold hard silence then crept as the wind blew. I finally turned towards Rainbow Dash, she had her head cocked to the side in reaction. But finally blew...
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, You're kidding right. Ride me? What a joke!" she busted out rolling on the grass laughing. She obviously didn't take me seriously, but still I need to get there somehow.
"I'm Serious." I stated in my serious expression of face. She immediately stopped laughing and looked towards my reaction. She then started to smirk, as if she had a little idea of some sort.
"Tell you what "Lightweight". If you beat me in a race, I'll gladly fly you to Canterlot." the mare wagered. "But if you lose, you'll have to be my slave." she continued in a evil tone.
Race? You can barely run away from fat kids when you steal their candy. You might as well give up and scale that 1,000 foot mountain.
"Deal." I simply replied, with that challenge accept meme visioning in my head. I didn't give it much thought though, I mean racing a winged-horse was way beyond my level. But I also knew that getting out of this hell hole is worth it..... I guess. Then again their's the possibility of becoming a slave to Rainbow Dash.....Oh Gawd.
"Ready, Set, Go!" Rainbow Dash hurried and said as she rush off into the air. I just stood their amazed at the sight of speed the mare was going.
What made you think you had a chance against this winged-beast! Do you even think anymore....that's right you don't. BECAUSE YOU NEVER LISTEN TO ME! Now your going to be this horses slave and probably never get home. good going dumbass.
I simply resisted to listen to my brain as I focused on the flying pegasus doing loopy loops, and returning back to where the race has started. I gotta think fast, I can't just be enslaved by this pegasus.
At a quick thought, I moved slightly to the left from where the race had begun, and started to make my acting/lying skills come into play. Rainbow Dash soon returned to the starting line, exhausted.
"What took you so long?" I said with a cocky attitude, simulating that I finished the race first. And she fell for it....
"WHAT!" she hesitated for a moment realizing I was their. "How did you-" she continued, still heavily breathing.
"I'm pretty fast in my world, I guess i'm also fast in this world too." I said with confidence looking at my nails. The mare's jaw hit the ground hearing the statement.
You clever, clever shrew
"But...But I flew....I didn't even see you in the sky. You don't even have wings!" the mare still debated with unbelievable eyes.
"Um.... yea. That's how fast I am, I flashed into the sky with incredible speed and took over while gliding. I zoomed passed you in a heartbeat." I replied to the mare's concern. Her eye then started to twitch over hearing the outcome of events. Then she huffed down in defeat, unable to hide the feeling that she "lost"....hehe.
"Ughhh! Oh Alright..... A deal's a deal." she finally said with frustration under her voice. "Hop On."
Holy Crap! She bought it!
I made way towards the mares back with a smile on my face, ready to begin the adventure, until she abruptly stopped me to say...
"Just don't tell anybody I did this, okay?" she looked at me with desperate eyes.
"Sure thing Rainbow Dash!" I assured the mare.
"Also, Please don't scream or cheer while your on my back, this is already embarrassing as it is." the mare also pleaded
"Oh, come on. Why would I do that?" I assured the mare of any doubt. I then saddled her back with surprise that she could carry me, this was a pretty strong pony.
"Well, Here we go!" was the last thing the rainbow haired horse said as we lifted into the air.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"WOOO HOOO, HOLY SHIT!" I screamed excitedly as we were soaring through the air. "I FEEL LIKE I COULD TOUCH THE HEAVENS… AND SOCK ANGELS!”
"Hey, you promised you wouldn't scream or cheer." the pegasus snapped at me as we rode.
"Sorry, couldn't help it! This is just so freaking awesome.....Wooooooooooo!" I continued, raising my arms in the air as I cheered from amazement. The mare then rolled her eyes and continued her focus on flying. The castle came closer and closer into view as we rode, it was a beautiful place with water falls and royal shit like that. Rainbow Dash finally spoke as we were making our way.
"Hey?" Rainbow Dash questioned.
"Yeah?" I replied.
"If you were able to go that fast into air...... How come you didn't do that to get to Canterlot in the first place?" she continued with a concerned raised eyebrow. I instantly froze over the question, I guess what my mom told me was true, lies always come and bite back. I need to think fast...
"Oh..uh, um. Excellent question Rainbow Dash. Um I wasn't very sure...about....how my speed...would react in this world....so I tested it out on that little race we had. Now pretty i'm worn out, I wont be doing that again anytime soon.." I said with my eyes shifting back and forth, hoping she'll buy it.
"Mmmm Hmmm.." she simply replied, continuing to fly.
"Phew." is what I thought, hoping I was in the clear. We kept flying onward as usual, almost reaching the destination. My stomach was still acting up, and Rainbow Dash's mane kept hitting me in the face. By this time, the trip became annoying, mentally.
"I wonder if her hair.... tastes like skittles...?" my hunger thought for me, as I gazed at the mane. It was already floating towards my face anyway....so why not give it a try? I slowly opened my mouth so the mane could enter, and started to softly chew. At this point everything was going in slow motion. Like my hunger just overtaken my mind as I chewed.......That shit wasn't skittles, at all...
"Oh gees, what the fuck!" I said finally coming into consciousness, constantly spitting up the bad taste.
"Woah, Woah! What's going on back there?" said the pegasus starting to swerve from the spitting.
"NOTHING, nothing.... I just swallowed a bug that's all." I quickly replied to the mare, disregarding any inconvenience. I was very surprised she didn't notice me chewing on her mane, she must have some heavy concentration skills on her flying or something.
"So are we there yet." I continued quickly changing the subject.
"Actually yea, We are." Rainbow Dash stated as we landed in front of Canterlot castle. The castle itself was an amazing site, I couldn't believe how big it was.
"Woooooooow" was the only thing to escape my lips as I got off the pegasus.
"Yeah I know, it's pretty amazing, but it would be 20% cooler though if it was light blue, with hot rod flames!" Rainbow Dash included as I got off. I'm guessing some 'Thank You's' are in order now?
"Thanks Rainbow Dash, It was so swag of you to bring me here." I said towards the light blue mare.
"Swag?"
"It's like another word for "Cool" or "Awesome". " I explained to her
"Oh, Cool.....I mean "Swag" hehe." she intentionally said, understanding the meaning.
"I know we got off on the wrong foot last time we met, but you really are a cool pony." I continued as I raised my fist out for a bump. She did so, and blushed a little at the gesture.
"It was no problem, I like helping those in need anyway." she uttered with pride. I raised my eyebrow at that statement, remembering that if I lost the race, I would have to be her slave. We both started to go in opposite directions until I was stopped...
"Oh, and Stan?" I heard the distant Rainbow Dash call. I quickly looked towards the direction as she continued. "I knew you didn't race, I didn't even see you take off, you just stood there. Plus you couldn't even run that fast from Big Mac, so I knew you were lying from the start." the mare finally finished. I stood there frozen unable to say a word about being caught.
Oh Shit, she knew the whole time. That's a pretty smart-ass horse.
"Ummmmm" was all I could utter from the statement.
"Haha. Hope to see ya again Stan!" she winked, as she flew off in the opposite direction.
"I guess she does like helping those in need." I finally said becoming un-stunned from the event. I then slowly turned back around towards the castle. "Well, here goes everything." I thought as I walked towards royalty...
