//------------------------------// // "MY SUIT!" // Story: "Wait!" // by AxelGunn //------------------------------// “My suit!” By MrAnderson92 Twilight and I sat down on the bed, and with a deep breath I told her everything that had happened to me since I had woken up in the tree. She listened intently, chuckling as I told her about the odd appearance of the preposterously pink pony, and grinned as I told her about my meeting with Rarity and her astonishment at my clothing. "Well this is certainly a problem now isn't it?" She asked, "Hmmm..." My sweet goddess...she sticks out her upper lip when she thinks! That is SO- "Oh!" She exclaimed, "Did you find any clues in your suit before you got rid of it?" I swear my jaw hit the floor as I stared at her, flabbergasted. How did I not think of that?!? Twilight frowned as she saw the look on my face. "That didn't occur to you huh?" "No," I said, "I was too occupied with trying to get rid of it...Rarity practically dragged me to the Carousel Boutique.." "Yeah...I bet she did," Twilight said with a slight chuckle, "but maybe she still has your suit somewhere! We should go check right now!" "Hold on Twilight...there's one more thing I need to talk to you about..." "Yes? What is it?" "I...don't remember how to fly...and it's really bugging me.." "Oh...well I'm not the right pony to talk about that...I'd suggest you talk to Rainbow Dash about anything that has to do with flying." She said with a thoughtful frown on her face. "Oh...I was hoping to not tell her about it because...well..." How do I put this into words... "Ah...I think I get it," Twilight murmured, looking down with a slight blush upon her cheeks, "do you..do you have feelings for Rainbow Dash?" I opened and shut my mouth several times, trying to find out how to go about this question. Well, what do I say to this? I don't think I have feelings for Rainbow...although she is rather spunky and adventurous...wait no what am I saying? I barely even know her! But it is true that I don't want her to know about my inability to fly...I don't want her to think less of me...why is that? Why am I thinking so hard about this? Maybe I DO have feelings for her! Wow...never would have figured that. Especially because the mere sight of Twilight made me fall out of this very bed. Speaking of which...she's looking at me really weird now...awww she just twitched her nose...that was adorable! Ok I need to snap out of it and say something! "I...I don't know Twilight..." I mumbled, "I just don't want her to think less of me." "Oh, ok!" She said, hiding a knowing smile on her face, "I understand." Hmm, if I didn't know any better (and I probably don't) I'd say she thinks I have a thing for Rainbow Dash! Which I might. I'd have to spend more time with her to find out for sure...gah! I need to focus! I have to go find my suit! "Umm...anyways..." I managed to say, "Shall we go locate my suit?" "Yes!" She exclaimed, jumping up from the bed, "Let's go! Rarity should still be at the boutique!" "Then onward we go!" What the hay did I just say? And so we sped off, racing towards the Carousel Boutique at a reasonable speed. Wow...she even runs- THUMP Ow...I can't believe I just tripped! Ok, yes I can, but I blame Twilight. For being so- "Oh my gosh! Are you ok??" Oh geez, she's worried about me again...and that's just so cute! Ok, enough of this, we have to go! "Yeah, yeah I'm fine!" I said as I struggled to my hooves, "Come on we gotta keep moving!" "Right!" Twilight said, a big smile spreading across her face, "Let's go get your suit! I'm rather interested in seeing it myself." She finished saying with a sly grin. "Heh...right." I chuckled while we sped off once again. Oh geez...what will she think when she sees the suit? "Oh and by the way," Twilight said, breaking into my thoughts once again, "do you enjoy parties?" I almost tripped again as her completely-out-of-the-blue question reached my ears. "That's an odd question at this time isn't it?" "Well the 'preposterously pink pony' you ran into happens to be my friend Pinkie Pie, and whenever a new pony comes to Ponyville she throws a huge party for them. She did it for me when I first got to Ponyville, and she's already done it for you too. I got my invitation right before I hit you with my door." Twilight informed me. "When is this party supposed to be?" I asked nervously, "I don't like being the center of attention of large groups..." "Oh well don't worry, you won't have to stay for very long," she said with a smile, "I'll help you come up with an excuse to leave early!" "Thanks Twilight! I have a feeling I'm really going to owe you one." I said with a chuckle. Gosh...she's so nice to me even though she has no idea who I am...but then again, I don't know who I am either... "Well howdy there Twilight! Who's your new friend? Is this the mysterious new pony that Pinkie is throwing this new party fer?" Hmmm, seems like I've encountered another one of Twilight's friends...time to socialize once again! I wonder if Twilight will bring up my- "Oh hey there Applejack!" Twilight said, slowing her run so she's walking with her friend, "To answer your question yes he is that new pony!" She said with a smile. Alright, so this new pony's name is Applejack, good start. "Well what's your name stranger?" ...Crap. "Actually Applejack...he doesn't know who he is. He has amnesia." Twilight said somberly. Well, that solves the riddle about how I'm going to handle this! "Gee Twilight, he don't know nothing about 'imself? Ain't that just terrible?" "It sure is Applejack...we were just on our way to Rarity's see if we can help him try and remember anything." "How in Equestria is Rarity going to help him?" ...I hope they realize that I'M STILL HERE!! "You see Applejack, he and Rarity had met earlier today, and Rarity took his clothes, which apparently looked ridiculous," Twilight said with a sly glance in my direction, "and it never occurred to him to check his pockets for clues about his identity." "Aw, that's ok sugahcube," Applejack said, turning to me as we continued towards the boutique, "if it's any consolation I wouldn'ta thought o' that neither." "Heh, yeah...I was just anxious about getting out of those clothes." I said with an odd grin on my face. Hmm...I hope they don't take that out of context...I really should've worded that differently... "Here we are!" Twilight said, as we arrived at the Carousel Boutique, "Let's go in and find that suit!" And in we walked, and what should I do but trip and fall again? WHUMP. Ok, this time I did not trip over myself... "Hey, watch where you're going mister!" a high-pitched voice said. "Uh, I'm really sorry I didn't see...you..." I stammered. Oh...it’s a filly... "Oh! Sweetie Belle! Mind your manners! I'm terribly sorry about that sir, I...oh. It's you! Hello Twilight, Applejack." "Howdy there Rarity." "Hello Rarity" "Excuse me," I said, "but I have a question for you Rarity." "Oh my! You CAN talk! And where in Equestria did you run off to?? I couldn't even get your measurements for your clothes! Oh but before I go off again, what's your question dearie?" Why does she keep calling me dearie? Does she call everyone dearie? It's like she's my grandmare or something... "Well, I was hoping you still had my suit somewhere.." "Why would you want that old thing back??" Rarity asked, shock evident on her face, "It was hideous! No offense hun, but it was one of the most horrid outfits I've ever seen." "Maybe so, but there might've been something in the pockets that can help me!" "There 'might've' been? Wouldn't you know if there was or not?" Damn...she got me there...I guess I’ll have to tell her... "Ah'll explain it to Rarity," Applejack said. And so she did! Wow...these ponies are really nice to strangers...or at least to me. I don't have to explain my problem...except for my flightlessness...Hm. I wonder where Rainbow Dash is... "Oh my! That's awful!" Rarity exclaimed once Applejack was done explaining my predicament, "Well I'll be happy to help in any way that I can! I'll go see if I can find your suit." "Thank you Rarity," I said with a smile, "I just want to know who I am at least..." "I understand dearie." Rarity said with a sad smile on her face. "And all o' us 'n' our friends will help you out!" Applejack said confidently. "All the way to the end." Twilight said, sidling up next to me and giving my neck a quick nuzzle. Oh my dear goddess that was amazing knees like jelly I can't collapse now that would be awful I gotta SAY SOMETHING "Heh, thanks everypony," I said with a grin, "My memory can't hide forever!" "What's this about somepony's memory?" A loud, raucous voice asked. Oh for the love of...why did SHE have to show up? I turned around as a chorus of greetings emanated from the ponies that surrounded me. "Hi Rainbow..." Wow genius that was eloquent. Is that all you can say? "Well well! Who said we were on such casual terms cutie?" Rainbow Dash said slyly as she strutted over to me and bumped our flanks together, "Not that I mind or anything of course. Which reminds me, I don't even know who you are you creeper!" She said with a wink. So of course, me being who I am, (whoever that is) I decided to let her know of my problems in the most exquisite way possible! "Uh...see...meern...fusro....dah?" Rainbow Dash just took away my ability to speak. I have no idea what I just tried to say. She's reduced me to a mere babbling foal! Meanwhile, everypony in the boutique was busy laughing over my babbling. Eventually, Twilight got herself enough under control (though she was still giggling) to walk over to me with a big silly grin on her face. "Oh I'm so sorry," she said while she nuzzled me again, "we shouldn't laugh so hard at your embarrassment." Hay, I’d be embarrassed for the rest of my life if it meant she would keep nuzzling me! "Oh dearie! I'm so sorry I'll go look for your suit right away!" Rarity said as she sped off into some side room of the boutique. "Lemme help ya there Rarity!" Applejack stated, "Ya'll gonna need as much help as you can git here in this pigsty!" "And I will stay here and talk to the mysterious hunk of pony standing before me." Rainbow Dash said with a gleam in her eyes. "Rainbow Dash, there's something you need to know about him.." Twilight began to say, but I cut her off. "No Twilight, I'll tell her." I said, looking Rainbow straight in the eyes, "Rainbow Dash, I can't tell you who I am-" "Oooh keeping it a mystery huh?" She said winking at me seductively, "I'm ok with that." "No Rainbow, I can't tell you who I am because I don't even know who I am! I know nothing about me!" I exclaimed, "That's why we're here, to see if there's anything in my suit to give me a clue about myself!" "Oh dang dude," Rainbow Dash said with wide eyes, "that's really heavy!" "I know..." I said sadly, breaking eye contact and looking at the ground. Gah! Where's Rarity with my suit? "Um...dearie I'm afraid I have some bad news..." I heard Rarity stammer from behind me. As Rainbow and Twilight gasped beside me, I turned around quickly, only to see... "MY SUIT!!!"
