Wait!
By MrAnderson92
THUMP!
...Ow...
Silence. I opened my eyes to find myself staring at the ground. But I wasn’t on the ground. Weird. I looked around, trying to get an account of where I was, and fell out of the tree I was in.
Ah. That explains that little conundrum. But I still have no idea where I am. Or, for that matter, WHO I am. Odd. How could I possibly forget who I am? Or how I got in the tree? Hm. Maybe somepony knows who I am. Oh what about her? She might know me, even if I don’t.
I decided to start with a friendly greeting. That should be a good idea...
I opened my mouth to speak, but that was as far as I got, for as soon as this preposterously pink pony saw me, she just gasped, jumped like five feet in the air (seriously), and kinda...disappeared.
Huh. Well that was certainly interesting...I guess I’ll try to follow where she went.
And so I did. As I went along, I started examining myself to make sure I wasn’t hurt, or overly terrifying or something.
Yeah, as if I could scare anyone in this odd getup. Still, doesn’t explain why that pony just ran away from me. Unless she’s extraordinarily shy. Eh, good enough a reason as any, I suppose. I wonder where this path..hey...what IS TH-
WHAM!
“OW!” Ugh...who said that..?
I shook my head a little to try and clear it, and promptly fell over thanks to the dizziness that overwhelmed my world. I took a quick glance around and noticed a bright blue...um, cyan maybe, pony just kinda...slumped against a tree.
Crap. I...whoa. She’s a pegasus. That explains how she came to fall seemingly out of nowhere. Hope she’s ok...
“Ugh! I can’t believe I messed that up AGAIN!” She exclaimed loudly, pounding her hooves against the dirt. “Oh hey, were you the pegasus I just ran into? Heh...sorry about that. You ok?”
Hey...I’m supposed to be making sure SHE’S ok. When did that change?
So, obviously, I just stood there like an idiot while she just sat there and stared at me with an odd look growing on her face.
“Weeeeeeell alright then chatterbox don’t bore me to tears with your life story or nuthin,” she chuckled, “maybe I’ll see you again sometime when the cat don’t got your tongue!” And with that, she sped off into the air, leaving me quite...befuddled, to say the least.
Alright, I need to stop making a foal of myself. First things first, find a town. Then I can start trying to find out who I am...and how to fly. ESPECIALLY how to fly. I wonder if I could be as fast as..
Whump.
Oh for the love of...what did I run into now?
It was a house. A plain ordinary house, next to other houses, which were subsequently next to other buildings. I found a town!
Awesome! First thing done! Alright, next I gotta...whoa. Is that me??
Staring back at me in the reflection of a shop window was quite possibly the oddest looking pegasus I’ve ever seen. Or at least, the oddest looking clothes to say the least...
The glasses I was wearing were bright green with bright purple lenses in them. My boots were bright red. And the suit...well...to be honest, the suit was white with colorful polka dots all over it. And inside each polka dot was a symbol. I couldn’t quite make out what they were.
Well I’m certainly feeling self conscious now...I gotta get outta these clothes!
Of course, considering how self conscious I was feeling now, I had to find a place to change. FAST.
“Oh my!” Uh oh...I can already tell what this is going to be about...
And so I turned to confront the source of the outburst, which I can already tell is about my rather silly outfit. And whaddaya know, it was!
“Excuse me dearie, but I must ask you why would you EVER wish to prance around in a getup like that?” Prance? I don’t prance! And who the hay is asking...wow.
Standing in front of me, was quite possibly the most beautiful pony I had ever seen. I took off my glasses to get a better look. She had a spectacularly white coat, with a brilliant beautiful purple mane and tail. I opened my mouth to say something, but she beat me to it.
“I say! You’re eyes are the most intense shade of grey I have ever seen! Your suit does absolutely nothing to help that keen glare you know. Oh! I could whip up the perfect set of clothing for you! What do you say??” She asked breathlessly, hope shining in her eyes and a big smile on her face.
Well...it WOULD be nice to have some better clothes...but do I have any bits? “Um...I don’t know if I have any bits..”
“Oh don’t worry about that dearie! I’ll GIVE it to you if you’ll just promise to throw those clothes away!”
Ouch...she really hates my outfit. Well, it’ll give me a chance to look normal. Hopefully.
I shrugged and nodded my head, smiling what I hope was a sheepish grin at this beautiful unicorn.
“Fantastic! Follow me then, we’ll head to the Carousel Boutique right away!” She said, walking with the utmost grace down the street. It took me a few minutes before my brain realized I was staring at her and decided to catch up. Which I did, right in the middle of her continuing monologue.
“...name is Rarity, and I run the Carousel Boutique here in Ponyville...” This town is called Ponyville? Doesn't ring a bell... “And my dear have I got the BEST idea for an outfit to replace this...this monstrosity!” She exclaimed with a little too much flair if you ask me. “And what is your name? I just realized I haven’t even tried to get to know you!”
Crap...Now what? Should I just tell her I don’t know who I...
“Ah! We’re here! Come in, come in, and let me work my magic on you! ...Did she just try to hit on me? ..Nah.
Rarity walked me over to the center of the room and looked me over. “Now you get out of that...thing and I’ll go look for the right supplies I’ll need for your clothes!” And with that, she was out of the room, leaving me to my privacy.
Well...at least I’ll have privacy. Maybe my cutie mark will give me some hint as to who I am. I take off the clothes as quickly as I can. What do I do with it now? I look around for some sort of clothing disposal bin, but all I see is myself, in a rather extravagant mirror.
Whoa...
The pegasus looking back at me has a soft, powder blue coat with a jet black mane and tail, both of which were...well jagged, kinda like a lighting bolt.
I’m HOT...those mares are going to be all over WHERE’S MY CUTIE MARK???
I panicked, turning round and round trying to find my missing cutie mark. Ugh, I gotta sneak out of here and get some answers...
And with that thought, I turned and walked out the door.
Straight into the cyan pegasus from before.
“Hey watch it!” She exclaims, giving me an evil glare, “Why don’t you walk where...hey...aren’t you that stallion I ran into a little ways outside Ponyville? I gotta say, ditching those clothes was a great idea” She chuckled, “ ‘Sides, I bet Rarity practically dragged you here after seeing you in those things huh? You know, you're kinda cute without those strange clothes.” She laughed loudly, bumping her flank against mine, winking at me as she spoke.
Wow. I have no idea who she is. Or vice-versa. And I'm pretty sure she just hit on me. But she seems to know Rarity...maybe Rarity could intro-
“Hey, we’ve never been properly introduced! I’m Rainbow Dash! Although you’ve probably already heard of me!” She said with a cocky grin plastered onto her face, “Who are you?”
Ah crap. I was really hoping I could talk to somepony else about my whole situation. But oh-
“Ah Rainbow Dash, how nice of you to be on time for once!” Rarity said as she walked up next to me.
“Whaddaya mean ‘for once’? I’m on time alot!”
“If by ‘alot’ you mean once in a blue moon then yes you are!”
“Why you...”
It was approximately around this time that I decided to leave. What to do now...I need to talk to someone smart...and smart people would probably be at a library! ...If this town even has a library.
I kept just wandering around town, until I saw a little purple dragon run right past me, almost tripping me in his rush to go...wherever the hay he was going.
“Oh man Twilight’s gonna kill me for being this late! I gotta get back to the library pronto!”
...This is almost too easy. I followed the dragon as nonchalantly as I could, and eventually we reached a tree that doubled as a building. Interesting place for a library...
“Twilight I’m back!” The little dragon said as he walked right on in. “Sorry I’m so...”
Huh. Out of earshot. Oh well, I didn’t really want to listen anyways. So I guess this is the library then huh?
I walked up to the door and began to raise my hoof to...
WHAM!
And before I knew it I was on the ground after being hit by the forcefully opened door.
“Oh my goodness! Are you ok?? I am so so so sorry! I didn’t know you were there!”
I tried to focus on who was talking, but my vision was blocked by a fuzzy purple blob. Unless whoever’s talking IS the fuzzy purple blob...and the fuzzy blob-ness might be because I just got my ringer dinged.....wait what did I just think?
“Hello? Can you hear me? Oh no, Spike go ready the bed I think I hurt him!”
“Oh come on Twilight, it was just a door! How much damage could it have done?”
Oh man...the world’s spinning...somepony make it stop...
“He really doesn’t look good Spike!”
“On the contrary, I think he..”
Next time I came to I was in a bed, inside what I presumed to be the library. Mainly due to the large number of books in the room I was in.
Wait why is there a bed in a library?
“Oh good! You’re awake! I was so worried!”
I turned to see if the fuzzy purple blob was back, and promptly fell out of the bed.
Holy cow she is GORGEOUS why in Equestria did I ever think she was a fuzzy purple blob not even Rarity compares with her! Oh man did she just ask me a question?? I have no idea! Oh it was probably something about her hitting me with the door but I don’t even care but I gotta say something I just gotta make it real smooth!
I tried to say something, but she was too busy laughing at what she calls my ‘antics’.
Oh that was smooth alright. Show her how graceful you are by falling out of bed. Nice one. Idiot.
“Hahaha...oh my...are you ok?” She asked as she shook with mirth, “Here, let me help you up.”
As she helped me to my hooves, I realized something. I should tell her about my problem! I want her to know! I want her to help! I want...
But my thoughts were cut off as she abruptly stopped helping me up and I fell to the floor again.
“Wh-where’s your cutie mark??” She asked in a hushed voice, eyes wide. “Did...did you never get one?”
I picked myself up off the ground and looked her in the eyes, but I couldn’t hold the eye contact and looked away, unable to answer.
“Wh-who are you? What is your name?” She asked me; but all I could do was look at the ground, wanting to tell her everything, but unable to bring myself to speak! “My name is Twilight Sparkle...”
Talk! Tell her everything! This is your chance! NOW!
“Ok...if you don’t want to talk that’s fine...again, I’m sorry I hit you with the door. Let me show you the way out..”
I nodded my head glumly, hating myself for what I was doing. Or rather, for what I WASN'T doing. YOU IDIOT! YOU’RE GOING TO PASS UP THIS CHANCE?? Twilight reached the door and started opening it. DO IT!
I seized the chance, finally, and turned to face Twilight who was already exiting the room.
“Twilight!" I said, "Wait!”
