//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Another Story where a human enters Equestria // by insert uncreative name //------------------------------// Alright let me set the scene. Where in Zecora's hut. She has something brewing in her cauldron. The fire is making that cracking sound that fire makes; you Know the one. It's early morning winter so the sun hasn't even come out yet. Zecora is at her table grinding something to put in the brew. On a spare bed in the corner lies less ugly looking human now that his bruises have been healed thanks to a certain zebra with medical knowledge that could grow back teeth. There's a knock coming from the door. Zecora walks up to the door, and opens it. “Why hello little Fluttershy. I see you spirits are high. I bet you want to know how the humans been. Why don't you come on in.” Said Zecora. “Thank you Zecora.” Fluttershy said who then proceeded to walk over to the humans bed. “Yes I want to be a millionaire.” I said in my sleep. “I see he is still asleep. But I don't blame him for slumbering so deep.” Zecora said. ****************************************** “D: Shoes don't fit.” I said. “Is that you finale answer” Said the host. For me; a that moment; the whole world just stopped. Even though I was sure that that was the right answer. I couldn't help but let the stress get to me. But I managed to gather the strength to say the one word that would decide my fate. “yes” I said with sweet poring down my neck. “... Well then Mr. Williams You Just won a” was all that the host said before my glorious, wonderful, and fantastic dream came to meet it's untimely end. And right before I was about to win, with two lifelines to spare no less. Oh well that's just how it goes. ************************************************ I woke up to a Fluttershy gently shaking me awake. “Martan wake up” she said “why would I want to do that?” I asked still half asleep “Well um. We've made breakfast” Fluttershy said. “oh boy food” I said, thinking with my stomach while I started getting out of the bed. As we where eating breakfast Fluttershy asked me “So how are you feeling?' “I feeling alright considering I was dead last night; still a few sore spots here and there, but fine all things considered.” I responded. “That's good to hear. I was afraid that since you weren’t from anywhere around here that if you caught some illness while you body was week from frizzing in the river you would have no natural resistance to it.” I froze right there. I knew where this was going. And even though I Know it's for my own good. I could never seem to get over my (completely rational mind you) fear of it. I instinctively leaned away form Fluttershy. “Yes... that... um... would be... um... bad.” Oh the moment that I'm dreading is coming near. Fluttershy nodded and said “Well in order to make sure that that doesn't happen I brought some vaccinations. I hope that your alright with a few shots. Oh woe is me. I'm at war with my self. One side saying. “Be strong Martian you need these vaccinations or your not likely to live very long in this world.” and the other side saying “Flee, Flee for your life.” My problem was that both sides where making completely logical suggestions. *********************************************** Outside my internal war. Fluttershy pulled out a needle and the second the human saw it he made a high pinched squeak and froze. “Um is he alright?” Fluttershy asked. “Trypanophobia it seems he has. A fear of needles it is also known as.” Zecora said “Should I still give him the vaccinations?” asked Fluttershy. “He seems petrified with fear. It would be our best chance my dear.” Responded Zecora. “Okay” Fluttershy said as they got ready to administer the vaccinations to the petrified human. *************************************************** I came back to reality about an hour later. “OW WAIT WHAT HAPPEND” I said in a panic “we gave you the vaccinations.” said Fluttershy odd how come I never can remember getting any shots, Must be mentally blocking them out since I was six. So either the experience is that horrific, or I'm being that much of a wimp. Oh let's just face it, I'm a wimp. “so am I good to go.” I asked with a pleading tone that crushed any dignity I may have retained through the whole ordeal. “Well I've given you all the vaccinations you'll need but I think you should take it easy for the rest of the day.” Said Fluttershy. Who continued on to say. “Don't worry you should be able to make to the Apple family tomorrow for that dinner they planed for you. Well I need to go home so you take care.” “See you latter Fluttershy.” I said to Fluttershy as she walked out the door. Then I turned to Zecora and asked. “So how bad did I freak out, and do be truthful I'd like to know if I've been getting better?” “Then I'll give it to you straight. On a scale of one to ten you where an eight. “Well how about that, I have been getting better. All doctors up till now have given me a ten or an eleven.” Zecora laughed a bit at this and said. “Well I have certainly seen worse. Though it does seem like quite a curse.” “yes... well um... yea...” I said. A few moments of award silence later I asked. “So what do you do to pass the time here. ************************************************ Well I couldn't think of anything to put as Zecora's response. Well not anything that rhymed any way. I know from the Parasprite episode she balances on that stick with her head, but I don't know what to call that so I'm taking the easy way out and ending the chapter. Okay what have I done with the review button so. I've asked nicely, got on my knees and begged, temped you with it. I know I'll try leveling with y’all Alright everybody I need reviews to know how to improve this story, so if you see anything that need's improvement please leave a review. Also reviews simply telling me that you are enjoying this story are always welcome they encourage me to keep writing this story. (This is a Author's note within the Authors note. Noteception if you will. On the original site I had gotten a few requests to throw in some romance. This next paragraph is my response to said request.) Also to respond to the requests to put romance in this story. With the direction I plan to take this story it might be difficult to do so. And even more importantly I don't feel confident that I could wright a proper romantic scene. So possibly in another story when my writing skills inprove.
