//------------------------------// // Sould I stay or should I go? // Story: Wishes granted backwards // by Write Holiday //------------------------------// "And that's all that happened." Twilight just stares at me, I am a bit unnerved. "So you are a human, now a pony, and not only a pony but the pony you created?" "Well, yes." "And we are on a TV show." She begins scowling. "Well, yes. I'm sorry, I for some reason thought you knew." "No no, it's fine." I can tell she is a bit upset. I just sit there, hoping she will calm down. "Well anyway, I assume you would want to go back." I start thinking. I would love to go back. See my friends and family again, pet my cats and dog and feed my fish. But, then again, I'm in the world that I have been watching for the past year or so. I have come to love the charecters, and now here they are, I am talking to them. Maybe I should stay here. Explore a bit, have a good time and meet the ponies themselves. Then, if I want, I could just ask Twilight to whip up a spell for me to go back. "Ok, here's the deal. I can't send you back." "Wait what?" "I said I can't send you back. You're stuck here." "A-are you sure? Can't I just go back through the portal you guys used to go to earth and-" "Retrieve the crown? No. It was destroyed when a guard tripped and pushed it over. We didn't know how fragile it really was, so we never saw that coming. Now I have a very busy day, so if you wouldn't mind." She points to the door. I nod and walk out of her house. She seemed really out of her usual character, much more on edge. I guess it was just the initial shock of the whole tv show thing. "Look out below!" The ground shakes and dirt is kicked up. I hack on it and spit up dirt balls. My guess would be that the only Pegasus who could do that would be Rainbow Dash. "Oh, hehe, sorry. Here." And I was right. She does the wind dry thing she did to Twilight in the first episode. Luckily I had my hooves on my head so my red-green hair was fine, and I was clean. "Courtesy of Rainbow Dash. Hey, I've never seen you before. What's your name?" "Write Holliday." Two ponies already know me by that name, I might as well get used to it. "Well Write Holliday, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have to get going, I just finished helping my friend PinkiePie make cupcakes and I have to go bring in the storm. It'll be here in-" "Ten seconds flat?" I ask with a grin. "Yeah. I like your style Write, see ya'!" And with that she flies off. I heard her say storm, that's great. I can't remember where my house is. I start walking down a random path, I'm beginning to think that this isn't such a bad thing. Once I got past the initial shock of transporting dimensions, I actually like it here. I mean, I'm in Ponyville, I'm living what other bronies everywhere can only dream about. Sure, I wished to meet the mane six, but I expected that if it did come true they would just show up at my house. It's the other way around now, and I can't say I'm disappointed. I feel a raindrop on my head, pretty soon it will be pouring. I look around frantically, and it's just my luck that Fluttershy's cottage is the closest shelter. It's either I spend the night at Fluttershy's, or risk becoming very sick with the rain and cold and wind. I really only have one option. "Hello?" I say through the door. I knock three times. "Hello?" It's Fluttershy. My heart stops, she is even more adorable in person. Er, pony. "I'm terribly sorry but it's going to be a massive storm and I have no where else to go, may I wait it out at your place?" "Oh, well, um, y-yes, come on in." I can tell she is frightened. Her name isn't Fluttershy for nothing. I walk in and wipe my hooves on the doormat. Usually they are on the outside of the door, but I guess because of all of the animals she prefers it inside. "I'm sorry about the mess, I didn't expect company." "What mess? This place looks fantastic." It's true, if this is considered a mess to her, I'd love to see what clean is. "Oh, well, thank you. M-make yourself at home." She sits on a chair across form the fire place. I sit on the chair in the corner. I'm not quite sure how to react to this right now. Fluttershy is without a doubt my favorite character, and being here with her is a bit nerve racking. The rain picks up and the droplets falling onto the roof echoes throughout the house. "So, w-what's your name?" "My name is Write Holliday, I'm new to Ponyville." "Oh, well it's very nice to meet you Mr. Holliday." "Please, I prefer Write. And as it is to meet you Fluttershy." Oh no, what did I just do? "How do you know my name?" I freeze. I can't tell her it's all a show for extraterrestrial beings, but I can't lie to her. "I uh, PinkiePie told me." And of course, I lie to her. "Oh. Well, a fair warning is that I have a lot of animals. I'm sorry if you're allergic to any of them." "Oh it's fine, I love animals." "Oh, well I'm glad to hear it." More awkward silence. I bet that if half of the fandom were in my shoes, they would be talking and talking with her, and here I am being as quiet as a mouse. "So tell me a bit about yourself." I try my best to make some sort of conversation. "Well, I love animals, I have the best friends in the whole world, and I love spending time tending to the flowers and nature." "That's nice of you." "Well, I'd like to make myself as useful as possible. What about you?" I should have saw this coming, what can I tell her? That I am actually a human that is stuck in a world with tv stars that have guy and girl fans all around the world? I have been here for only half a day. "Well I have been here for less than a day, but I met Twilight, PinkiePie, and Rainbow Dash. I also love animals, I love writing, and I am still learning the town." "Oh, well that's nice. Welcome to Ponyville." "Thank you." The rain begins to let up. I look outside, it's about to be the crack of dawn. "I think I'm going to head out now, I need to find my way back home." "Are you sure you have to go?" "Why? You enjoy my company?" "Well, yes." Great, now I'm obliged to stay. "I'm sorry, I really have to get going, I'll be back later today though, promise." "Ok, bye Write." "Goodbye Fluttershy." I walk outside and close the door. Now I'm not too sure, but it feels as though that the air is much cleaner here than it is back on earth. I guess that's the result of having no planes though. Now to find my house.
