I sat just outside the door to the little cottage, waiting patiently for her to come out. The rain had stopped, and the sun was out and shining. I have no idea how long it had been since the door had been closed on me, and I have even less of an idea as to where I am, what she was, and why I'm here. I had so many questions, many of which would hopefully be answered. She would peek through the curtains in her window every now and then, checking to see if I was still there, I assume.
I sighed. First sentient thing I came across just had to be one of the biggest scaredy cats. I was still debating whether or not this was heaven, and while I'm pretty certain that angels are humanoid, I could not truly tell if this was true. They could be slugs for all I know. The creak of a door slowly opening directed my attention back to the small door to see that the yellow mare was peeking her head out of the small crack in the doorway.
"H-hello...?" she greeted timidly. I waved and she stared at me like some kind of alien. Oh, wait, I suppose I am kind of like an alien here. Slowly, she opened the door more and more and stepped into the light of day.
"Wh-who are you?" she stuttered. God's, she was unbearably cute with her face behind her mane like that. I smiled underneath my helmet at her, then realised I couldn't remember my name still.
"I don't rightly remember madam..." I answered, and I was surprised that my voice was so gravely and deep. She seemed surprised too, for she retreated even further into her hair somehow. She was quite cute, what with her strange pink mane, butter yellow coat, teal eyes, wings, and...is that a tattoo of butterflys on her flank?
"Y-you don't r-remember your name?" she asked. I shook my head. "O-oh...W-why are you here then? I-if you don't mind me asking, t-that is."
I shook my head again. "I haven't the faintest idea..." I sighed and hung my head. "I just...came here."
She frowned at this, and hesitantly walked over and sat beside me. "Do you have a family?" she asked, voice no longer quivering with apprehension and fear.
"I do not remember..." I replied, the idea that my memory was still lost to me disheartened me greatly.
She seemed to notice this, and rubbed my armored back. "Do you have a home?"
I hung my head even lower. "I...I do not remember..." I replied.
"You poor thing..." she cooed, and I was instantly reminded of the woman from before.
She got up and began walking back to the door before turning to me. "How about some food? Will that make you feel better?" I nodded slowly. I had no idea how long it had been since I last ate, but it felt like an eternity. She smiled and began to trot back to the door, but then I remembered that I did not have her name.
"Wait! I did not get your name!"
She turned back to me for a moment and smiled sweetly. "It's Fluttershy."
"Thank you, Miss Fluttershy."
She smiled that cute little smile of hers before heading back inside the cottage to fetch some food. I smiled as I waited. Perhaps this was heaven after all. She came back outside shortly, a beautiful red apple on her back. The sunlight reflected beautifully off of it's succulent, juicy, red skin. My mouth watered in anticipation of the wonderfully tasty little treat.
I stared at the offered food for a moment, before greedily taking it and ripping my helmet off. She gasped at the sight, but I ignored her in favor of the juicy treat I was about to enjoy. I bit into it and moaned in pleasure at the sweet and rich juices that flowed from it into my waiting maw. I sighed in content and looked down to the mare next to me, still looking at me in shock.
Curious as to what was so surprising, I looked to my reflection in the small pond to my left and was left speechless. It seemed that I was not only cured of all wounds and mental illness, for my skin was no longer green and rotten. Staring right back at me was a man with peachy, healthy skin, a full head of silvery hair and a graying beard. My eyes were a captivating shade of light brown, with hints of gold hiding in them.
I turned back to her slowly. "This is certainly...something." I said lamely, trying to break the silence.
She shook her head slightly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare." she apologized.
I shook my head. "It's quite alright. In truth, I wasn't really expecting it either."
She tilted her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"Nothing important, m'lady. But while I'm here, would you be willing to answer a few questions?" I asked, dodging the question with another.
"Of course. What do you want to know?" she answered.
"Where am I?"
"Equestria, why?"
I thought on this for a moment. So it seemed I was not in heaven. Unless of course they had different territories in heaven.
"What are you?"
"A Pegasus. Do you not know about ponies?" she asked.
I shook my head.
"Well there are three main types of ponies: Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth ponies. Of course there's also Alicorns, which are a mixture of all three."
I nodded slowly as I thought about this. Unicorns eh? So there was some truth to those legends after all. I wonder if they're as magical as the legends say?
