Space Anon in Equestria

by TrekkieAnon


Chapter 5: Alien hospitality

You finish covering up the hole you made with a shovel.

You move the big flat rock you got from Pinkie and place it in behind the hole.

You pick up the painting tool and start writing on the rock.

'Here lies Anon's greatest friends.'

'Trystan, Pierce, Debbie, Abraham, Faith, Raymond.'

'May they rest in peace knowing they finally arrived on an alien planet.'

You make sure that would stay permanent.

You stand up, and give them a proper military salute.

You gathered the ashes of your friends in the ship's cockpit and put them in an urn.

You noticed that there were also the ashes of the space pirates in the next room. Fuck them, you let a cleaner droid take care of them.

You gently folded up their uniforms, gathered their name tags and placed them in their bed lockers. Something for their families.

You gave your friends a small funeral for now. You walk towards the ponies after you are done.

"I'm sorry Anon, were they your friends?" asks Twilight.

"Yeah, my best friends."

Silence falls.

"Huh, we always joked about arriving on an alien world and things like that." you clench your fists. "But not like this."

You try your best to keep the tears inside. You fail.

You wipe your eyes and talk to the ponies.

"Can you show me this place?"



You and the 6 ponies walk towards Ponyville, or fly or jump towards it.

Ponyville? These names again.

Twilight tells you that about 2 hours ago when the town's ponies were starting their day as usual, thunderous noises and bizarre phenomenons started appearing.

Near Applejack's family farm, 'Sweet Apple Acres'. No wonder Applejack was worried.

When Twilight and the others came to investigate, your ship was there and you came out of it.

As you get closer to this little town you see all these colorful old fashioned houses that you would only see in documentaries.

Then you notice a crowd of ponies gathered at the entrance. As you get closer, they seemed either confused or scared.

Well, anything would be scared if something really came out of that giant mess.

Come to think of it these pony things are cute.

They are like living, talking, plushies.

They seem pretty hospitable too.

How the fucking hell did these things come out of the evolutionary tree? Charles Darwin can't explain this shit.

Oh and the fact you are speaking the same language? Some kind of translator device you have back home? That works on different species, right.

Oh well you probably should do the scientific thinking later. Your head still hurts.

"Anon, maybe its a good idea if we talked to them first." says Twilight before getting any closer.

"Agreed, I don't want to scare them."

First impressions, always important. Especially on first contacts between alien species, you think.

"Princess Twilight, is that another monster?"

"Is it really safe to bring it here? What if it tries to eat us?"

"Did it really come from those loud explosions?"

"Its like he has almost no fur on its skin!"

So much for that impressions thing.

Twilight motions her hooves to calm the ponies down.

"Everypony, please, do not worry. This is not a monster, he's name is Anon. He says he is a Human, an alien from outer space."

The word 'alien' seems to interest them. Chatter, chatter, chatter.

"Yes, he arrived after those phenomenons. He is not feeling well and asked for our help, we can't ignore somepo- or anything that requires our help."

"But how and why did it come to Equestria?"

Twilight looks at you.

"I didn't intend to come to Equestria, actually." you say.

"Hey, he can talk!" "It does sound like a HE."

"To be honest, I don't know how my ship arrived here. There was a huge accident and next thing I know, I'm here."

Pretty vague, but that is pretty much it.

"I assure you, I didn't come here to cause trouble. I would just like to find my way back home."

More ponies talking to each other.

"I'm sure you have more questions, but Anon needs some help, you can resume your daily activities." Twilight tries to calm the ponies down.

The crowd of ponies make way for Twilight and rest of the group. That ended pretty well. This horned pony with wings really knows what she is doing.

Did one of them say 'Princess'?

"Are you feeling sick Anon?" asks Fluttershy.

"I still have a headache and my body feels weaker." you massage your head.

"Oh my, we should take a look at you, but I've never dealt with an alien before." says Fluttershy.

"Don't worry too much about it Fluttershy, I'm tougher than I look."

You notice that you're hungry; you puked your guts out back in the ship.

"I'm pretty hungry. Do you have something to eat?"

"What do humans eat, Anon?" asks Twilight.

"We humans are omnivores, like many mammals and primates."

"You mean you hunt and eat animals?" Twilight seems a little surprised.

Huh, ponies must be herbivores, like real horses.

"Uh, yes and no, we...eat only certain animals but we don't actively hunt them. As I said we also eat fruits and vegetables. Some humans like fishing though."

"Oh like bears and otters? Fluttershy asks.

"Yes, exactly."

You arrive at this large crystalline structure that looks like a castle.

It certainly stands out from the rest of the buildings. Did some pony actually designed that with that purpose?

Damn, the interior is more imposing. The whole crystal theme is there with gold decors and tinted glasses and more. You must be really in fairy tale land.

"Enjoying the tour, Anon?" says Rarity when she notices you looking around.

"We certainly don't have things like this back home."

The ponies lead you to a fancy room with a round table.

Pinkie pushes you to sit down. The chair is small and the table is low but you cant complain.

The ponies tell you they will get some food ready for you. They tell you to relax and they split into groups.

Easier said than done, you feel out of place here.

After few minutes you realize there is something peeking its head by the door.

"Hello?"

It hides when you call it, then it shows himself and walks towards you.

It is sort of a bipedal reptile.

You thought you saw everything. Is this one of their pets?

It has a big head with short arms and legs.

Awwww, isn't he adorable.

"Hi, my name is Spike. Twilight told me you are an alien, is that true?"

Aaaand he talks, you shouldn't be surprised anymore.

"Yes you can say that, and you are a..."

"I am a dragon!" Spike points himself.

"Neat."

You and Spike briefly talk about some of the details before the ponies arrive with bags of goods.

"We weren't sure about hoo-man diet, so we got bunch of different stuff!" says Applejack proudly.

Applejack comes with fresh produce, mostly apples. This is amazing, the freshness is off the charts.

Dash and Rarity comes with...a burger and a sandwich? It says "Oat burgers", that's new.

The sandwich has flowers and stuff in it, you smile and thank Rarity, but tell her humans don't eat flowers.

Pinkie and Twilight comes back with a box of desserts, like pies and cupcakes. Pinkie says they are some extra ones she baked herself.

Fluttershy comes with a small bucket of fish, some of them still flopping inside.

"Please, help yourself." Fluttershy gives you the bucket.

You smile like an idiot, you haven't eaten something like this for a while.

"Dont mind if I do! Oh and Fluttershy, we humans cook our fish. Well, most do, so can I keep the bucket of fish?"

You start eating.

The oat burgers weren't too bad. The apples, carrots and grapes taste amazing.

Pinkie's desserts, oh man, you could get addicted to them.

You start to wonder, how can aliens be so welcoming after you just crashed into your town?

Hell, most humans might go all torches and pitchforks. Instead, they invite you into their home and give you a meal.

You start to think that you will like this planet.
