Twilight Sparkle and her gang slowly crept up towards a small clearing in Applejack's orchard. Pinkie Pie had stated that the 'doozy' was here, but all of the group were too scared to go in. Something was in there, and it was moving...
"I thought you said that there was no such things as aliens, Twi," whispered Applejack.
"And there isn't," Twilight replied, "It's probably just an animal in one of the trees,"
"But what if it is an alien..." Rainbow Dash asked, trying to make sure nothing was going to hurt her friends.
"It isn't. Let's please just stop talking about it, okay?" The lavender mare requested, pulling her eyes to the front and sneaking onwards, only to find that they were standing right in the middle of the clearing. They must have walked right in while they were whispering to each other! "Um... girls?" Fluttershy whimpered...
Horses? Well, I guess those apples must've been rotten or something. It's funny, really; there's six of the small, colourful equines. Each had some form of tattoo on its butt, and really large eyes. One was a bright, pink one, with a darker, pink, poofy tail and hair. Hair? I guess it's a 'mane' when referring to horses. There was also an orange coated one, with a blonde mane and tail. It stood by the side of a yellow coated one that seemed to be hiding behind its pink, flowing mane. A cyan one was flying, and seemed to have a pair of wings on its sides. A pegasus? What that what you called a winged horse? Anyways; there were two more: a white coated one with a violet mane, and there was a lavender coated one with a violet mane and tail, both of which were striped with pink. Both of these two ponies had a horn atop their heads. Does that make them unicorns? I couldn't help but notice that the lavender one also sported a pair of wings. What does that mean? Oh well...
"Um... Girls?" The yellow pony spoke, before they all turned towards me and stared.
The main thing I should be worrying about now, is that the yellow horse just talked, but I can't shake the fact that I'm forgetting something here... I tried to stand up and take a defensive stance, but then my legs crumpled and I fell on my face. So that's what I was forgetting. I really must look fucking stupid right now...
All of a sudden, the yellow one was right next to me and poking at my back. I waved my pickaxe at it, but it was a half-assed attempt, and my swing hit absolutely nothing. Whatever the hell I did to my legs when I stood up, must've drained some of my energy or something. Great. "What are you?" I asked, before the yellow one backed away, curled up, and began whimpering.
"We should be asking what you are!" The orange one said with a southern twang.
"Why?" I spoke, trying to keep my best poker face on.
"Well, er. You're trespassing!" She said, assuming she was a she, "And you stole some of my apples!"
"And I just escaped from Herobrine, fool! Aww yeah!" I yelled, losing hold of my poker face and instead just bearing a huge grin, "I just escaped a demonic god! I need supplements,"
"Cool. Now tell us what you are," the purple one said, stepping into view.
"I will after you do," I stated, still smiling. Although it was starting to get old, and the edges of my lips were quivering. Still, I just wanted to troll. Trolling is one of a Minecraftian's instincts, and I will uphold it 'till I die!
"Okay then," the purple horse murmured, before putting on a loud voice, "We are ponies, and protectors of Equestria. This is Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and I, Twilight Sparkle. Together, we powered the Elements of Harmony, and saved Equestria from multiple malicious ponies!" She said, before the six of them took a final stance as if they had rehearsed the whole thing. "Now for you," she stated.
"Okay, okay. I am a player from Minecraftia," I said to the ground, "I was running away from an evil god called Herobrine, before I came through his weird portal. I ended up falling, and now I'm here. I create stuff, kill stuff and break stuff..." Silence hung there for several seconds before the white-coated pony, or Rarity if you will, spoke up. "Y-You killed things? Just what exactly?" She spoke, eyes wide in horror. I should have known that a land of pretty technicolor ponies with horns and wings would have been a pretty peaceful place...
"By killing things, I mean ridding the land of evil monsters!" I said in my best sarcasm/enthusiasm voice I could conjure. It's true that I fought monsters, yet I didn't kill animals. They would have been too cute... Come to think of it, these 'ponies' are like those animals too... Fuck. I think I can see how this will affect me...
"Evil?" Twilight asked, "what evil do you mean?"
"Lady, you have no idea. I fight skeletons, zombies, large spiders and creepers. I also fight other things, but those are the main four." I state in a rather manly voice.
"What are creepers?" The yellow one I believed to be Fluttershy, whispered in such a low voice that it took me five seconds to translate the message from sound to brainwaves.
"They are an armless body with four legs. They are green and have skin like sandpaper. They constantly frown, and don't have thoughts or emotions. They only do one thing: kill. They will stalk down the victim then self-destruct, blowing up itself, and the victim," I informed them. I'm hoping that they understand, otherwise I'm a dead man...
"I understand," Twilight spoke slightly grimly, looking up at the sky, "It's almost midnight, so we'd better head home, girls," she spoke.
"Do you have a place to sleep?" Whispered the timid, little pegasus to me.
"No, not at the moment. I guess I could get something done about that soon though."
"Well, you're welcome to stay with me," she murmured, "I always welcome stray animals. I'm not calling you an animal though!" She squeaked.
"That would be very nice, Fluttershy," I replied. She just smiled and led the way. I limped behind her, the apples having started their process. Now they weren't broken anymore!
The moon was three-quarters of the way through the sky when we got to her house. The first thing I noticed about the cozy, little cottage, is that the roof was made from organic plant matter. Smart, I guess. The sun would allow the plants to grow, and since the plants were on the roof, it saved space.
"Here we are," Fluttershy softly spoke as we walked up the bridge leading to her house. I could see that she was an animal lover, noticing that there were birdhouses everywhere. "Nice place," I replied. Feeling I needed to comment the mare on her taste. "Thankyou, Mr... Um?" She said, slightly confused.
"There's no need to call me by a formal title, Fluttershy. Just call me 'player,'"
"Um, sorry." She apologised. I must admit, it is pretty darn cute when she thinks she messed up or something.
"That's okay, no need to apologise," I replied.
"Um, okay. Come inside, that is, if you want to..." She said timidly.
"Thank you, Fluttershy," if I had a dollar for every time I said 'than you,' I'd probably be a millionaire!
"You can take my bed if you want, and I can sleep on the couch," she stated.
"No, I couldn't do that. Not in somebody else's home," I informed, "I'll take the couch. You can stay in your own bed,"
"Are you sure? I mean, I could-"
"Yes, Fluttershy, I am sure," I reminded her, taking my shoes off and clambering into the couch.
"You don't need anything?" Fluttershy asked.
"No, I'm fine, thanks," I replied.
"Okay then. I'm going up to bed. I'll see you in the morning, Player," she said
"See you then,"
"Goodnight,"
"Night," I replied.
I am feeling rather comfortable around these ponies already, in which disturbs me in a way. However, I am not going to want to find a way back to my old world, unless it involves bypassing The Nether. Urgh, that name makes me shiver now. Anyways, I am hoping that life gets better again from this point on, and that I can befriend these ponies without causing a riot... Hmm...
