//------------------------------// // A Rare Find // Story: Differences // by xainkrif //------------------------------// "Don't open the door. NO NO NO!!!!" I yelled as I looked on in a third person watching and reliving the events that got me here. The door opened and a black mass was standing there smiling at my former self. A voice could be heard. It was saying "Jon, Jon, wake up Jon." A hoof could be felt on my shoulder. "Wake up Jon please." A body could be felt pressing against me. I awoke to Fluttershy hugging me and nuzzling me with her mane trying to wake me up from the nightmare. "Fluttershy..." I said as I turned to look at her. Smiling with tears down her eyes she hugged me once more. "I'm glad you woke up form your nightmare. I was so scared." I replied with concern. " I'm sorry for scaring you. I have those a lot. Please. I'm fine." Lifting her off of me with slight difficulty, I noticed that it was still dark outside. "Had she heard me from downstairs and come to wake me?" I pondered. Hugging her once more and telling her she should go back to bed, she finally went back to retire. I awoke to a crow this time. Like usual, Fluttershy was already up making breakfast. I lay there trying to figure out why I still had that night mare. "I know people have nightmares from past events but there was no way for that to happen again unless-" I cut myself off hearing Fluttershy coming up the stairs. I shook my head and awaited to see what she had in store for me today. Smiling, she set down a pie. "I thought maybe today you could use a treat, so a baked you a pie." Smiling i asked, "What flavor is it?" She replied "Pie flavor silly." I looked at her confused. Smiling she then said, "Its apple. Sorry for making a joke about it." "Its fine. I found it funny" i said smiling back. We both ate together this morning, chatting about different animals. Her knowledge of animals is far superior to anything we know on Earth. Once breakfast was done, she went to tend to her animals. I had completely forgotten about her friend coming over until I heard a knock at the door. The door opened and I heard the same fancy royal voice again. The door closed and they talked for a few minutes. Once the talking was over, Fluttershy and her friend came trotting upstairs. Rounding the corner was Flutter shy and a (safe to call pony now) white pony with a horn like Twilight's, a fancy looking purple mane, and a (safe to call cutie mark now) cutie mark of 3 diamonds, gave me a look that scared me. When her hoof hit her mouth I knew she meant business. "Darling, you have no clue what I have in store for you" she said. Jon, this is Rarity. Rarity, this is Jon. "Hi nice to-" I was cut off as she rushed over to me and started to examine me. "Oh no no no no this simply will not do." she said as she examined my sizes. Confused as to what was going through her mind I started to ask what she was thinking about design wise when she blurted out "Idea!" She rushed downstairs. The sound of scissoring and a sewing machine could be heard before minutes later she emerged with what looked to be a plethora of shirts, pants, shoes, under garments, the works. Amazed at the speed this was created, I thought about the laws of physics and thought i'd ask Twilight if they exist in this world. While carefully trying on the clothes that were just made for me, I started to chat with Rairty. "Can you use magic too?" I asked. "Only telekinesis and minor healing spell. A Girls got stay healthy you know" she replied. "If your looking for magic, Twilight is the one to go to. Her skills are just fabulous." "Thanks, i'll keep that in mind" I replied as I tried on all the clothes. Several hours passed before i was finished trying on every single outfit she made. They all seemed to fit perfectly. There were no flaws. I wish we had people like her back on planet Earth. I thanked her and we said our goodbyes. A lot of moving was heard down stairs, but not as much as before. Fluttershy came up the stairs and I asked her about all the moving. "She brought the whole shop with her." she said. Looking stunned, I didn't think twice about it. "The laws of physics don't seem to apply anymore so this must seem normal to them."i thought to my self. Dinner was served as usual with the exception of Fluttershy's chickens getting loose and it taking her a half hour to get them back. We talked like usual and said good night. The rest of the night was met with ease. There was no tossing and turning. First night in a long time I got sleep. The following week went the same.
