//------------------------------// // "So what happened while I was out?" // Story: Love is magic // by InfinitelySkilled //------------------------------// You awoke with a gasp. You were sweating furiously. You rapidly look around and feel where you were chained. It was just a dream. You were in what seemed like a guest bedroom, almost exactly like the one in the dream, except properly lighted. Twilight was sitting in a chair next to the bed you were laying in. “Are you okay Anon? What’s wrong?” Twilight asked worried. “Uhh…Just a…Bad dream” You say nervously. “You have dreams?” Twilight asked curiously. “Yeah. Hey where am I?” You ask. “One of Fluttershy’s vacant bedrooms. Can you tell me more about your dream?” Twilight said “I would rather not!” You shout, startling her. “I mean, I would rather not.” You say quieter. “Why? What was so bad about that dream?” Twilight asks. “Forget it. How long was I out?” You ask. “Almost an hour. And your lunch is still ready to eat.” Twilight said. You stomach groans at the mention of food. Twilight giggles at your loud stomach. “Sounds good to me, and my stomach.” You say. “You have got to stop using magic Anon, you are going to really hurt yourself, or worse!” “Sorry, I just didn’t want that vase to break…” You said. “What was so special about the vase?” Twilight asked. “I’m not sure but it doesn’t matter now, when am I going to have to go to that party you mentioned earlier?” You ask. “How about after you eat?” Twilight asked. You didn’t really like parties, and the fact that you had to go to one made you feel a little disappointed. You weren’t sure why, but for a pink colored talking pony, you could hold out just for a little while. “Sounds good.” You said Twilight got up and extended her hoof to you. “Here, let me help you up.” Twilight said You reach out to grab her hoof and lift yourself up. Then gravity hit you. You went blind and felt dizzy. Your body yanked furiously to get you back to equilibrium. Once you regained composure, you opened your eyes and saw Twilight lying on top of you and you lying on the bed. Her face was bright red and you suspected yours to be too. Her blush made her look cute and made you more comfortable. She shook her head and stood up. “Sorry I should have pulled you up slowly.” Twilight said ashamed. “That’s fine.” You said. You get up slowly and walk over to her. “So what happened while I was out?” You ask. “Nothing!” Twilight yelled suspiciously. “Okay now I know something happened.” You said. “Uhh…Uh…I…” Twilight stuttered. “Well?” You ask. “Nothing. Just forget about it.” Twilight said with a sad tone. ‘What happened that was so bad?’ You thought to yourself. “Fine, but you have to tell me eventually. I’ll find a way to make you tell me.” You said. “Okay, anyways your lunch is in the kitchen.” Twilight said “Thanks.” You said. You walk out the bedroom and into a hallway and begin walking to the right. “Other way!” Twilight yelled. You turn around and started walking the other way. “I knew that.” You said. Twilight shot you a smile as you walked back. You returned the smile and continued walking. The walls of the short hallway were lined with pictures of butterflies, bears, and all sorts of other animals, including a picture of a white bunny, which you assumed was Fluttershy’s pet bunny Angel. After admiring the portraits in the hallway you found yourself at a set of stairs. You haven’t walked down stairs in your new body yet, but ‘there’s a first for everything.’ You thought to yourself. You slowly began your descent down the stairs, after the first few steps you got the hang of it. You got near the bottom of the staircase and saw Fluttershy in the doorway of the kitchen with a relieved smile on her face. She quickly came over to you and embraced you. “Are you okay Anon?!” Fluttershy blurted out. “I’m perfectly fine, just hungry.” You responded. “Oh.” She said as she let go of you. “Your salad is right here.” She walked into the kitchen and came back out with a bowl in her mouth that contained lettuce and carrots in it. “Here you go.” She said putting the bowl on a table near the couch. You walked over to the couch and sat down and began eating the salad without hesitation. The salad tasted amazing, and with every bite you felt less hungry and more energized. “Do you like it?” Fluttershy asked “It’s amazing, I love it!” You said to her She smiled big. “Can I ask you a question?” You asked her. “Sure.” Fluttershy said curiously. “What happened when I was unconscious? For some reason Twilight won’t tell me.” You asked her. “Well we pulled you up, and then we held a few paper towels under your nose to soak up the blood.” She started “And after that?” You ask. “After the bleeding stopped we took you upstairs into my guest bedroom and I kinda sorta ran downstairs in fright.” She continued “Anything else?” You asked “That was it until you came down here; I was too scared to go back up there after everything that happened.” Fluttershy said “Thanks Fluttershy.” You said “No problem.” She began walking upstairs. You were a little disappointed to find that Fluttershy wasn’t with you the time you were unconscious and Twilight was and was still nervous about you finding out what happened when she was alone with you. Your mind flashed back to the dream. You shuddered just at the thought of that becoming a reality. You shake the thought and start pacing the living room of Fluttershy’s cottage. You hear somepony coming down stairs and you turn to see Twilight at the bottom of the stairs. “Are you ready to go Anon?” Twilight asked. “Go where?” You wondered. “The party that Pinkie Pie is throwing for you.” Twilight said. “Oh right, forgot about that. Are we leaving now?” You ask “Unless you don’t want to go.” Twilight said “No, let’s go.” You said. “Alright, remember to not eat a lot of sweets, your stomach will hurt really bad if you do.” Twilight said “Got it.” You, Twilight, and Fluttershy begin walking out of the cottage and further into Ponyville.
