//------------------------------// // Chapter Four // Story: Well that was weird... // by Halo Head //------------------------------// After the little fiasco this morning, I found her way out of the bed by.. well by walking, of course. I made my way to the bathroom. In front of me is a girl, staring awkwardly at herself, and has a hair of a mess, still trying to take in what just happened this morning. And then after a few minutes of fixing myself, I heard a knock on the door.. "Hold up! I'm coming!" I said, as a pitch change occurred in my voice. I need to do it, in fear of Butterscotch might be discovered by someone. As I open the door, in front of my very eyes, was a tan man, well, a boy, or whatever you want to call him, standing 6 foot tall. He wore a cardigan covering a purple shirt. He looks like around the same age as me, if not, older. And for the unusual part, his hair is purple, with pink stripes running on it. I stared at him awkwardly, 15 seconds before I came back to reality. "Hello Miss. I am Dusk Shine, a protege of Prince Solaris, and bearer of the element of Magic. Now may I ask you if, by chance, have seen an unusual "pony" in this area?" said the man. "Oh, umm yes. In fact, he is staying here at my house." I replied. "May I come in? I am completely famished from all of the pon- people in this neighborhood, saying I am such a crazy man." "Yes of course. Please take a seat. I am going to call Butterscotch." "I see, so you had been friends with him." said Dusk. I must admit, he is pretty good looking when humanized. ----------- After minutes of explaining that Dusk made Butterscotch a "volunteer" for his spell to travel across dimensions, that actually worked, and how Dusk made himself like a human in order to blend in after 3 days of preparing, the room had been filled with white light, followed by a thunder sound. The next thing I knew is that I passed out because of my phobia. "Is she a-alright?" "Oh what happened to the little darling?" "If she wakes up I'm going to throw her a welcome-back-to-your-senses party!!!" "Maybe I can show her my stunts?" "Ah sure hope she's alright sug'rcube." "Calm down guys, she's fine" "My little ponies, behave yourself. She is about to wake up." Wait, I knew that voices. I said to myself. I need to make sure they are them. The last thing I want to see are angels and devils beside me, saying that I am a soul now. I slowly opened my eyes to see 6 ponies and 1 man. I recognize them all. Elusive, Babble Berry, Rainbow Blitz, Applejack, Dusk Shine which turned to human, and of course, Butterscotch. But I least expect Prince Solaris to be here. After I regained my composure, they introduced themselves to me. "Good morning darling. I am Elusive of Ponyville! Maker of the finest suits and dresses!" said the white one, taking my hand and landing a peck on it. I blushed a little. Of course he is like this. "Hello there! I'm BabbleBerry nice to meet you! I throw the best Berry bashes ever! If you can visit Ponyville go to Sugarcube Corner! I bake cakes, cupcakes, and oh muffins! Yes muffins! Do you know Derpy Doo?! He is the mailpony of Ponyville! He loves muffins! Oh do you love muffins too?! Or do you love cupcakes! I can bake you a cupcake on the spot! If you want I can throw a party here just for you! We can play games, and OH! We can play pin the tail on the pony! It's the best game in Ponyville for partying! And then we can- mmhhm hmhhm." Berry said, not even gasping for air. I am quite amazed of the endurance of his lungs. "Come on Berry! Don't hog the lady to yourself!" said a voice in the background. "Oh. Umm.. Don't mind him. He is just Berry being Berry!" said Dusk, placing a hand in Berry's muzzle. "Well, I'm glad that's over. Anyways, I'm Rainbow Blitz! The fastest flyer in all of Equestria!" The cyan pegasus said proudly, giving a puff in his chest. "And ahm Applejack! Nice ta meet ya miss! Am I ever glad that you took care of our friend in here! Oh and our fam'ly makes teh most delicious apple products you can ever eat!" said the pony in a stetson hat, shaking my hand with his hooves like there is no tomorrow. "And I am Prince Solaris. I co-rule Equestria alongside with my brother Prince Artemis." said the Prince as he walks beside me. "This 6 here are my little ponies and the Elements of Harmony bearers. Forgive us, but we haven't catch your name." "Oh.. I'm Shy." "What I meant is your name, young one. Will you repeat it again?" "I'm SHY." I said emphasizing the Shy. "Don't be afraid dear. We knew that seeing talking ponies isn't what you see everyday, but do not be shy. We just need your name." said Elusive. "But guys, her name is Shy." said Butterscotch. Thank you Butterscotch, I owe you one. The room fell silent. What is wrong with my name?! It's not as weird as their name, right? Right? The silence of the room was broken by Rainbow Blitz's laugh. "Bahahahahahahaha! What kind of parents would name their foal like that?!" He said laughing his flank on the floor, tears forming on his eyes. "Blitz stop it. Say sorry to her!" said Butterscotch. Oh Scotch I owe you double now. "Oops sorry! No offense! Eheh." He said wiping his tears. "None taken." I sighed. I wonder why my parents named that to me? Oh yes, it's because I'm SHY. When this events are taken place, Prince Solaris is staring at me like I just ate a pony. He quickly realized what he has been doing and took his eyes off of me. "Shy, we need to talk. You aren't supposed to be born a human." At this remark, my body froze.
