An anthropomorphic MLP fan fiction
You were at a very awesome rave party. Vinyl was the DJ along with Abe Lincoln. There are giant neon beach balls in the air, acting as the only lighting aside from strobe lights. You were in a mosh pit next to Shrek when you saw a very hot looking Angelina Jolie beckoning you to the back-room. You follow with out hesitation. Once you get in the room, things start to get a little hot and heavy. Out of the corner of your eye you saw a blue Alicorn that resembled Celestia a little. This Alicorn was a dark blue, and had a mane that looked like the night sky, she was dressed in similar cloths that Celestia wore when you met her only darker. She had a very confused and embarrassed look upon her face, but when Angelina starts to disrobe your eyes are pulled away from the Alicorn and to the Angelina who was taking her shirt off.

You silently curse the sun as it shines directly into your eyes, waking you from your wondrous dream. You groan and rollover, nuzzling your pillow, trying to get back to that dream, but you know it's pointless.
“Wakey-wakey~!” you here a familiar bubbly voice sing. You slowly crack open your eyes and take a peak at the pink pony who was walking towards you with a gigantic smile on her face. You let out a loud grown and bury your head into your pillow. “Oh come on! It's a fantastic-funarific day out today!” Pinkie Pie said as she sat down in front of you. You look up at the pink pony and let out a sigh.
“Sorry for my French Pinkie, but it is too damn early,” you say resting your chin on your pillow.
“That's not Prench, silly! That's Equestrian, and it's only six,” Pinkie said with a giggle. You look up at Pinkie.
“You're not going to let me get back to sleep are you?” you ask. Pinkie shook her head, her smile never leaving her face. With a groan you turn over and sit up, yawning and rubbing the sleep from your eyes. You stand up and proceed to stretch out your arms and neck.
“There is coffee downstairs,” Pinkie said as she walked past you and down the stairs.
After taking a few seconds to stretch out your back you make your way downstairs. You grab your shirt as you pass it and slip it on as you walk down the stairs. You make your way to the ground floor and notice that there are no lights on save the ones coming from the kitchen, which you make your way to. You see a very chipper Pinkie Pie who was working at a tea kettle, and a very tired looking Mrs. Cake, who was still in her pajamas, resting her head in her hand at the kitchen table. She seemed like she was about to fall asleep again. You take a seat at the table and Pinkie put a cup of coffee in front of you and a cup of tea in front of Mrs. Cake.
You pick up the sugar and cream that sat in the middle of the table and started to pour them in your coffee. Pinkie hands you a spoon to stir it with and soon you were taking the first sip of some good coffee. You and Mrs. Cake both sit in silence, trying to wake up, while Pinkie was doing her thing, humming to a happy tune. A tune that was too damn happy this early in the morning.
A few moments later and Mr. Cake walked in, still in his pajamas and his mane sticking up in all directions. He pecked Mrs. Cake on the cheek and sat down next to her and Pinkie placed a cup of coffee in front of him that he took black. You hear your name being called, so you look to Mrs. Cake who called it.
“Are you doing anything today?” she asked. Her voice was slow and quite. You shake your head in response. “Well would you like to work here to get some bits?” you nod your head. “Great you can bus the tables or whatever Pinkie needs you to do.”
“Alright, I could use the spare bits,” you say rubbing your eyes with a yawn.
~~~~~~~~~
You spent your day making an honest man's wage. It was incredibly easy and uneventful. Well as uneventful and working with Pinkie Pie can be. Around noon Twilight came in with Spike. You were wiping down a table when she came in.
“Hey Twilight,” you call when you saw here.
“Good afternoon. Are you working here now? Last I heard you were helping Derpy with her mail route,” Twilight said, looking at your apron, which was the Sugarcube Corner official work clothes.
“Nah, just picking up a couple bits. Did you hear anything from Princess Celestia about a spell that will get me home?” you ask hopefully. But the hope you had dissipated when Twilight shook her head.
“I'm sorry,” Twilight said with a sad look.
“Don't worry, I’m sure a spell will be found,” you say with a smile. To be honest you weren't exactly expecting the spell to be found so soon. “Anyway, Pinkie will get your order for you,” you say nodding your head towards Pinkie who just came out of the kitchen.
“TWILIGHT!” Pinkie yelled with a very big smile on her face and a wave.
“Hi, Pinkie,” Twilight said rubbing her ear and returning the wave. She turned to you. “Rarity said she made you some clothes, If you want I could take you to her boutique after Spike and I are done here.”
“Sure I’ll go on my lunch break,” you say before going back to your cleaning of tables. Twilight and Spike ordered their food and you talked while it was getting ready.
Pinkie rang the little bell that was on the counter next to the cash register, signaling you to pick it up and give it to the customer.
“Hey Pinkie?” you call when you get up to the counter.
“Yes?”
“I'm going to take my lunch break and head on over to Rarity's boutique to pick up some things.”
“Okie-dokie-lokie!” Pinkie said with her giant smile on her face. You smile your thanks and head over to the table Twilight and Spike were sitting.
“Here you guys go,” you say giving them their bag of food. They say their thanks and you make your way to the kitchen, take off your apron and set it on a peg. As you walk out you grab a cupcake from a pile that were a day old. You take a bite out of it as you walk back into the main room and make your way to the cash register and place a bit in it for the cupcake. Eating the cupcake you wait for Twilight and Spike to get done.
Once they finally get done you three head over to Rarity's boutique, which didn't take very long.
Rarity's boutique, named the Carousel Boutique, came into view as you turned the corner. It looked like it had multiple floors to how tall it was. It looked taller than Sugarcube Corner, but that could have been just because of the flag at the top. Twilight, Spike, and yourself make your way inside, making a bell go off.
“Just one minute, please~” you here Rarity call out in a sing song voice from a backroom. You look around the room you are currently in and see what looked like a small stage with mirrors around it, a door sits next to it. On the other side of the room was a big curtain that was blocking something off, and next to that were some stairs, leading to the next floor. You look around some more and see Twilight sitting on a chair, reading a book. Your not sure where she got the book but you don't question it. You also see Spike looking at himself in the mirror, twisting his face from side to side, then breathe into his claw and sniff. He put on a satisfied smile and started to straighten out the purple shirt he was wearing. You decide to take a seat next to Twilight and wait.
After a few minutes you hear a door open, making you look up.
“Ah, Twilight, what can I do for you, dear?” Rarity asked as she closed the door next to the stage area.
“Not what you can do for me, but what can you do for him,” Twilight said nodding towards you.
“Ah yes! I remember now, I have some clothes for you, one second,” Rarity said before disappearing back through the door she came out of, but not before ruffling Spike's hair as she passed. Spike looked like he just got a gift from God.
Rarity came out a minute later with two slim white boxes.
“Here you are darling, I’m positive I got the sizes correct,” Rarity said as she handed you one box. “I made a weeks worth of pants and shorts in this box, and a weeks worth of shirts in this one.”
“Thanks, how much do I owe you?” you ask.
“Oh no no no! I couldn't possibly take payment. Just tell your friends, and that will be payment enough,” Rarity said with a smile.
“Yeah, sure I could do that,” you say with a smile. Spike, Twilight, and yourself were about to leave when Rarity called out for Twilight.
“Could I possibly borrow Spike?” Rarity asked. “I have to get some gems for this dress I’m making, and I don't want to get my hands dirty.”
“I don't mind,” Twilight said. “Spike?”
“Definitely!” Spike said excitedly.
“Alright, just be back before dinner, and no ice cream! You're still on that diet,” Twilight said as the two of you left. “So have you been making any new friends?” she asked when you started to walk back to Sugarcube Corner.
“I think so, I've hung out with Vinyl and had dinner with Derpy and her family last night,” you say.
“They are easy to get along with,” Twilight commented as she looked at the stalls that were in the market square.
“Can I ask a question, Twilight?” you asked, determined to ask a question that has been bugging you ever since you came here.
“Sure, what is it?”
“What's with the male to female ratio?”
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked tilting her head to the side.
“Well it's just I've seen about six mares to one stallion,” you say, looking at a group of ponies.
“I'm not sure, it's always been that way. Is that not the way it is on your world?”
“No, the ratio is about even.”
“Huh.”
“Hmm.”
The two of you walk back to Sugarcube Corner in silence. At the front doors you thank Twilight for taking you and the two of you depart. You make your way up to the room you shared with Pinkie and dropped off your clothes before returning to work downstairs.
~~~~~~~~
The rest of the day went by without any incidents or interruptions, and before you knew it you were climbing back into bed, now wearing red checkered pajama pants and a white tank top for pajamas, and back to dreaming a wonderful dream.
The rest of the week went by much like this, you waking up, working, taking your lunch break with either Derpy at the park, Vinyl at Sugarcube Corner, or with Twilight at the library, which had some very good fiction books, and you got hooked with the Daring Do series, then back to work, then some relaxation time when Sugarcube Corner closed, bed, then repeat. It was Friday, and it was raining hard. You were sitting at a table with Vinyl, Lyra, Octavia, and Pinkie, playing Go fish. Mr. Cake was at the cash register, reading a book, and Mrs. Cake was upstairs with the twins. Normally you would be working, but nobody would go out in the weather, save those who had to.
“Do you have any two's, Lyra?” you ask, looking at your cards.
“Go fish.” You take a card from the pile in the middle. You got an ace.
“Pinkie, do you have any one's?” Lyra asked.
“Yuppers, here ya go!” Pinkie said with a smile as she handed Lyra her card.
“Alright,” Lyra said placing both cards in her discard pile. “Vinyl, do you have any queens?”
“Nope, go fish.”
“Lyra! Do you have any threes?” Pinkie asked. Lyra handed her a card. “Yay! Ok, Octavia. Do you have a king?”
“Hmm,” Octavia said filing though her massive amount of cards in her hand. “Go fish.”
“Darn,” Pinkie said while taking a card from the middle.
“Got any five's, Octy?” Vinyl asked.
“Go fish.”
“Damn,” Vinyl muttered under her breath, she was two cards away from winning. “Ow! Octy, why did you kick me?”
“Language, Vinyl,” Octavia said while sipping her tea. Vinyl rolled her eyes and took a swig of her soda.
Octavia was about to take her turn when the front door opened and Twilight walked in. Despite her umbrella she was drenched. She shook out her umbrella and put it in the umbrella stand by the door.
“Hi Twilight!” Pinkie said with a wave.
“Hi Pinkie,” Twilight said taking off her jacket and hanging it up on the stand, next to the others. “Hello, everybody else.” she walked over and sat at your table next to you.
“Want in on the next game?” you ask.
“Nah, I’m good. Though I do need to tell you something.”
“Yes?”
“Princess Celestia has sent me a letter and she told me to tell you that you are needed in Canterlot. She didn't say if she has found a spell or not, sorry,” Twilight said when she saw the look on your face.
“Oh, well alright. When?” you ask.
“Tomorrow around noon, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie and I will go with you there.”
“Alright,” you say and the game is resumed, even though you are a million miles away in your thoughts as you turn over all the possibilities of why you are needed.
