Growing up in equestria

Scare in the night

Dylan woke up in the middle of the middle of the night.

"Where am I?" Says Dylan.

Dylan gets up and looks around. Dylan sees a few things around the room. Some candles on bedside tables on each side of the bed. The bed was in the center of the room against the wall. To the left of the bed was a small desk.

Dylan feels some pressure in his lower stomach.

"I really need to pee." Says Dylan holding in between his legs.

He walks out of the room and looks around. He walks down the hall looking for a bathroom. He notices Fluttershy's room right next to the room that he was staying in. It was the only other room on the second floor.

Ms. Fluttershy seems very familiar but I cant remember where I know her from. Thinks Dylan

"Well there's no bathroom up here." Says Dylan to himself.

He starts walking towards the stairs "Maybe there's one down stair- AAH." Says Dylan as a small creature moves in the darkness startling Dylan making him trip over his own feet, and fall down the stairs.

*BOOM BOOM BOOM CRASH*

"OOF..... OOOWWWW!" Says Dylan laying on his stomach a few feet from the bottom of the stairs

He tries to get up and groans in pain. He tries to move his feet but it hurts to move his right ankle. He also notices that the top of his head hurts.

Dylan hears something upstairs, and then clopping on the wood floors as Fluttershy walks down the hallway.

She sees Dylan lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs. She opens her eyes wide and gasps. Then she flies down the stairs and lands next to him.

"D-D-Dylan a-a-are you alright?" Asks Fluttershy.

"Y-ya Ms. F-Fluttershy, but I th-think I sprained m-my ankle when I-I tripped." Says Dylan stuttering.

"What were you doing up so late and what happened?" Asks Fluttershy with a mix of worry and sternness in her voice.

Dylan got off his stomach and sat on the floor. He winced as his ankle hit the floor.

"I-I needed to go to the potty, but I d-didn't know where one was. I looked upstairs but couldn't find one. I was walking to the stairs and something small moved in the dark and scared me. Then I tripped and fell down the stairs and...I have a plant on my head don't I?" Dylan says reaching up and feeling what used to be a potted plant sitting on top of his head.

Dylan started laughing. Then Fluttershy sighed with relief and started giggling. They continued laughing for a little while. Fluttershy gets up and walks to the bathroom.

"The bathroom is over here. Go 'potty' then take a shower to get the dirt out of your....mane?" Fluttershy says the end as a question and starts giggling again.

"Alright Mo- uh M-Ms. F-Fluttershy." Says Dylan as he gets up and limps into the bathroom closing the door behind him.

Fluttershy walks to the Kitchen and sits down.

"H-he almost c-c-called me M-Mom. A-Am I o-okay with t-that?" She asks herself as she sits in the kitchen.

Fluttershy was deep in thought until she heard the water turn off and waited to hear the door open. After she hears the door pen she calls out.

"Dylan can you come in here p-please." Says Fluttershy.

"A-Alright, d-did I do something w-wrong?" Asks Dylan looking scared.

"oh, no nononono y-you didn't do anything wrong" replied Fluttershy quickly "I just wanted t-to ask you something." Says Fluttershy.

"Oh o-okay, what is it M-Ms. Fluttershy?" Asks Dylan still looking a little scared.

By this time they were awake for a while and ti was starting to get light outside.

"Well I-I was wondering, i-if it was alright with you o-of course, w-what you would say i-if I wanted t-t-to ad-". Fluttershy didn't get to finish what she was saying as they heard a loud knocking at the front door.

They both squeaked in surprise and Dylan hid under the kitchen table.

"Fluttershy are ya awake." Asks a pony with a southern style voice

*Sigh* "It's a-alright Dylan that's j-just my friend Applejack. Would you like to meet her?" Asks Fluttershy.

"A-A-Alright." Says Dylan nervously getting out from under the table.

Fluttershy walked to the front door and opened it.

"Oh, hello good m-morning Applejack." Says Fluttershy

"Good mornin' ta ya too sugarcube. Ah was wonderin' it ya could help me with some critters on the farm." Says Applejack.

"Oh of course Applejack, Whats wrong at the farm?" Asks Fluttershy who is getting serous.

"Rarity brought her cat over and Winona is chasing her through the orchard." Says Applejack.

"Oh my, I think I can help with tha - oh I almost forgot. I have a new guest, would you like to meet him? Just so you know he isn't a pony and looks differently than a pony does." Says Fluttershy thoroughly warning Applejack. "So please don't b-be afraid of him he is only a young um c-colt?" Says Fluttershy.

"Oh alright Ah think Ah could meet him." Says Applejack nervously.

"Oh good, I'll c-call him out then." Says Fluttershy. "Dylan you can come here now." She calls into the cottage.

They both hear an 'eek' sound and Fluttershy stats to giggle.

"The poor dear is more shy than I am. He was even scared of me when I found him."

Dylan peeks his head out of the kitchen.

"H-H-Hello M-M-Ms. A-Applejack." Says Dylan just barely loud enough to be heard by them both.

Fluttershy starts giggling again.

Applejack sees Dylan just before hearing him talk. She stops looking as nervous after she hears his voice.

"Come on out here Sugarcube. Ah wouldn' hurt ya. There's no need ta be 'fraid ah me." Says Applejack.

"A-Alright." Says Dylan as he slowly, nervously, limps over to them.

"What happened?" Asks Applejack after she notices him limping ant the bandage on his arm.

"I-I Kinda f-fell down the s-stairs this morning." He said looking down embarrassed.

"Are ya alright?" Asked Applejack with a look of concern.

"Y-Yeah I'm alright, it's just a sprain." Says Dylan

"Well it's really nice tah meet ya Dylan a - oh ah almost fergot we still need ta stop Winona. Fluttershy we need ta get going." Says Applejack.

"Alright Applejack" says Fluttershy. "But.... I don't want to leave Dylan here by himself, I would worry about him too much.

Applejack turns to Dylan looking him up and down, sizing him up she let out a sigh.

"Well since yah can barely walk let alone run Ah could prolly carry yah on mah back." Says Applejack turning around moving her head in a way to signal Dylan to get on.

"A-A-Alright." Dylan says nervously.

Dylan walked over to Applejack and put a leg over her back. Dylan wrapped his legs around her just in front of her back legs. Then his arms around her behind her front legs. He then put his head close to her neck to the left of her.

"Alright Dylan are ya ready?" Asks Applejack.

"Mmhmm" Says Dylan.

"Alright lets get going Fluttershy." Says Applejack

then all three of them start on their way towards Sweet Apple Acres at a quick pace.
