Chapter Two: You got some debts to pay
I open my eyes to stare at a blank white ceiling, within the warmth a fuzzy brown wool blanket, shaded by a light green hue of a light. I sit up in the bed to see one broken lamp in the corner flashing the light green hue up towards the wall. I crawl out of the bed to land on my feet, ‘wait how did I get my feet back’ I thought to myself. I walk over to the vanity adorned with a laptop on top of the desk and look into the mirror. I see a boy I do not recognize, but I realize that this is me from a long time ago. ‘Is this how I really looked before I left the world?’ I turn away from the vanity and walked over to the door pushing it open looking down a long hallway leading to one stand-alone door. I walk over to the door and feel a chill run up through my body as I get closer to the door. Once I laid my hand onto the doorknob my arms filled with goose bumps, in reluctance I open the door to reveal a queen sized bed. I notice the blankets that once adorned the bed have fallen from the left side of the bed onto the ground. I hesitantly walk inside of the room and spot the new resting place of the blankets. As I crawl over to the mass of blankets. I begin to tense up especially after I see a lifeless hand, while I turn the corner of the bed. I immediately stand up to see a woman, with beautiful brunette hair, straight up face planted onto the ground with bottles of prescription drugs next to her body. I grab the woman and feel the coldness running throughout her body, but still feel somewhat of a heartbeat. I then turn the woman over to see her face, once I realized who it was I screamed to the top of my lungs.
I then sit up in full size bed wrapped in a large warm wool blanket; next to two large windows, which are letting rays of sunlight into the room. I look down to see that my hands are hooves again. I feel sweat trickle down my forehead and notice a towel on the drawer next to me so I levitate it and wipe the sweat off my face. I sniff the air and smell a pleasant smell coming from outside my door, so I decide to get out of bed. As I hit the ground I notice that my feet are now hooves again. Now that I think about it, feet and hands are much easier to manage with, especially since I don’t have to walk on all fours when I was human. I mean yea having magic or the ability to fly is really cool, but just not as worth what you could do in the human world. I mean I doubt they have phones, computers, or any electronics that we have in our human world. Really overall it seems to me that at least PonyVille is just really behind technology wise in comparison to just the city of Buena Park where I’m from. I think I should really get up *checks clock* especially since it’s like 8:30am now. I finally get up and walk over to the sensational smell coming from the door and walk into the hallway. I walk down the hallway towards the smell which is coming from the kitchen. I walk into the kitchen to see Chase slaving over the stove making what looks like to be eggs. I sit on the counter and ask him, “Where is everyone else?”
He jumps up from being surprised by me, “Oh they haven’t awoken yet. So I decided to make breakfast for you guys when you do wake up. But I have run into some problems as it’s pretty hard to make this food without hands or levitation powers of which you have.”
“So do you want my help? Because that’s what it sounds like.” I trot over to him with a smile on my face.
“Yea that would be really helpful.” I levitate a pan, spatula, and an egg and begin to make scrambled eggs while Chase moves over to make potato waffles in a waffle maker on the right side of the stove.
As we make the breakfast for the others we don’t notice how easy it was for the both of us to cook as our motions form into each other. Once we finish the food and put it onto plates we turn around to set the plates onto the median counter. When we look up we see the others look at us and then they begin laughing their flanks off.
“Oh my god you looked as if you were a married couple on their honeymoon.” I hear Steven exclaim as he tries to pick himself up from the floor.
Chase and I immediately take two steps apart from each other and slightly blush, “Uhm anyway let’s eat now okay.” I levitate a plate and with my magical grasp set some eggs and two potato waffles onto my plate. I look through the drawers within the kitchen and notice that utensils don’t exist, well at least not in this kitchen. I shrug and levitate the eggs towards my mouth and begin to eat. “Chase did you put something into these eggs while I wasn’t paying attention?”
“Uhm yea I added seasoning and some cheese while you were getting more eggs to make.”
I blush, “Well their wonderful and I love that touch you added to them.” He smiles as Steven bursts out laughing again, which makes him spit some food onto the counter. I glare at him as he levitates the food bits and tosses them into the trash can in the corner of the kitchen.
“Now anyway, what are our plans for the day guys?” Sarah asks as she offers some egg to Espy who is atop her mane.
“Well I was planning to read some of my books within my room.” We roll our eyes at Steven very typical of him.
“I was thinking of going to Fluttershy’s house to learn some ways to take care of the newly acquired animals.”
“I was going to go talk to the apples and well Big Mac of course.” Sarah says while blushing.
“I really don’t know maybe go talk to our mother and brother wouldn’t that be a better idea over some boy Sarah.” Sara says while Sarah breaks out of her trance cowering into her chair as she hears what Sara says.
“Oh yea that would be nice to.” Sarah says. “What about you two lovebirds?”
Sarah says as she looks at Chase and I, “Okay one: How do we give you that impression? And two: I don’t know what we’re doing.” I look over to Chase who just shrugs.
“Okay ever since we arrived here Chase has been attached to your hip; I mean you sleep in the same room.” Sarah says as Steven nods in agreement.
“Well that’s not our fault since Steven and Susie both slept within the same room and you two did also so I had to be with Chase. I mean it’s not a bad thing I’m just saying.” I say as Sarah just rolls her eyes at me.
“But I’m guessing Jerry wants to find out more stuff about that cyan Pegasus we met yesterday.” Chase says as I blush at him, which quickly fades away.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about Chase those were not my plans for today.” *pulls out planner and crosses out ‘Learn about Jeri Bear’*. Thankfully before things were about to be awkward a knock comes from the door, “I’ll get it.” I say as I jump out of my seat and gallop to the door. I open the door to see an orange earth pony, “Oh hay AppleJack, what brings you here?”
“May I come inside; I have some’ng to tell y’all.” AppleJack says.
“Oh uhm sure come in.” I open the door letting her in as we both walk over to the median counter. We set our hooves onto the median counter as I ask, “So what did you need to talk to us about?”
“Oh uhh, well y’all know how my family made this house for y’all.” We all nod our head. “Well this obviously cost us bits so I was think’ng that y’all should pay us for our handiwork.”
“We don’t really have that much bits to give you AppleJack, just what’s in our rooms.” I say with worry trembling through my voice.
“Well then y’all will need to get a job then, I’ll need 2,300 bits by the end of the month which is well this weekend so… I think y’all should get a job right away. If any of you have some physical strength, we need some help around the farm sooo…”
“Oh uhm okay then Applejack we will get jobs by the end of the day.” I say as sweat trickles down my forehead.
“Great now I’m going to return to the farm, I expect at least one of y’all will join me.” She trots outside the door and slams it behind her.
We all look at each other and swallow our newfound goal of the day. “Well that changes our plans for the day then.” I say to try and lighten the mood. “So now we have to get jobs.”
“Well I’m going to still go to Fluttershy’s house and apply to help her out with the animals then.” Susie says as she puts the plate into the dishwasher and then heads for her room, probably to get ready.
“I guess I can’t read then today, so I will do the next best thing and try to get a job at Twilight’s castle/library.” Steven says as he heads towards the room to get ready leaving his dirty plate on the counter for someone else to clean it for him.
“Now I have a more legitimate reason to go to the apple farm.” Sarah says as she glares over to Sara.
“I think I will go to the Hayburger since it’s not that far from here and it seemed pretty easy to be a waitress.” Sara says.
“I’m going to go to Rarity’s Boutique; she might need some help with her shop.” I say while I head to the room with Sara and Sarah as Chase follows behind us. I get into the room and shuffle through the closet in search of some clothes. Just as Chase enters the room I flip my blue scarf over my neck and ask, “So where do you think you’re getting a job?”
“Well I was thinking of asking Rainbow if I could join the weather team or the demolition team, both of which will keep me in shape.”
“Sounds great, now I’m off to Rarity’s Boutique.” I walk out the door as Chase quickly puts a shirt on
“Wait let me walk you to her boutique.” Chase says as he gallops after me as I exit our home.
“Oh uhm okay sure, let’s go then.” We then walk over to Rarity’s boutique which is about a mile from our house. We walk in complete silence other than the occasional stops that other ponies do asking what our names were again.
Once we reach the boutique I motion Chase to go and talk to Rainbow. “So uhh yea I will try to join her team goodbye until later.”
“Okay goodbye Chase, see you later,” I say as I turn to the door beginning to push it open.
“Same to you,” He says as he begins to fly in search of Rainbow.
I walk into the boutique noticing that it not as bustling as it was during the afternoon, but I do notice a certain cyan pegasus. I notice Rarity seaming another dress up as she looks up, “Oh hay darling, please come over here I’m currently working on this.” I trot over to her and levitate a chair so I may sit down across from her. “So what brings you here today? Is it more clothes? Or do you not like my clothes?”
I blush at her, “Oh no it’s neither of those, I’m here to apply for a job here at you’re boutique.”
“Oh darling that would be wonderful, now I need to see what you’re good at. Now I have a sewing machine to the right of me there is a sample dress that you may begin to sew.” I nod at her and begin to trot over to the sewing machine.
Now I have barely any knowledge at sewing; the most I have ever made was a beautiful tree ornament with some intricate designs but it wasn’t a full blown dress. So obviously I had some problems and as if Rarity had the force or something she immediately stood up from what she was doing. “Let’s not actually do that, but I think putting some clothes on their appropriate racks would be perfect for you.”
“Oh uhm okay that sounds great then,” She levitates a cart over to us and then explains where they needed to be. As I toiled a way of putting clothes away I now noticed three other ponies were in her two of which were other workers. One was sewing while the other managed the fitting room section. The other was a customer who was speaking with Jeri Bear who seemed to work here as a retail worker, same as I.
Once I finished putting the clothes away Rarity came over to me, “Well now since it’s your first day I need you go with Jeri he will tell you how to do your job and all that.” She guided me to Jeri Bear and pushed me forward.
I trotted over to Jeri Bear with glee filling my footsteps; once I reached him I tapped his shoulder. He turned around, “Oh hey Jerry, right?” I nodded yes, “Oh okay so what exactly do you need? I’m here to help you find what you need.”
“Oh uhm no I’m not a customer today, I’m now working with you as whatever you do. Rarity sent me here so that you can teach me the ropes of how this works.”
“Oh okay well then, really it depends on what you’re doing. If you’re putting clothes away, well put them on their appropriate racks. While you’re doing this you must learn the geography of the store, so that if a customer is looking for something you know exactly where to find it. You may also need to ring them out as in be the cashier, but this only happens when it’s busy or if you want to. Other than that there isn’t much else for you to do except that you get off when I do which is about 3pm. The store opens at 7am which is when I expect you to be here, so yea there are some clothes in the back that I need you to sort out.”
“Umm okay I will get on it right away.” I walk to the back of the store and levitate some racks of clothes that need to be put away. Basically rinse and repeat this for four and half hours, with some interruptions from customers going in and out asking about where the clothes are.
As my day ends I walk over to Jeri Bear who is walking to the door to leave. “Oh uhm Jerry you need to see Rarity she has something for you.”
“Oh okay then goodbye.” I say as I start to walk towards Rarity.
“Bye, Jerry.”
“So Jeri Bear said you have something for me Rarity?” I say with confusion.
“Oh uhh yes I have your uniform, name tag, and work schedule.” I levitate the items and stuff them into my tote bag. “So I expect you to come in tomorrow at around 7am which is when we open. Also tell your friends that if they want anything custom they can come in tomorrow when they have a chance.” I nod, “Anyway see you tomorrow, Jerry.”
“Same to you Rarity.” I turn around and begin to leave the boutique. As I walk outside I notice the rest of my friends are coming from multiple directions about to meet in the center of town. When I reach my friends I tell them about my day and the job that I have, I tell them about Jeri Bear too. They then tell me about their day and the jobs that they have now also how the coincidence that we all got off around the same time.
“So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” I had said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” Chase asked.
“I don’t really know.” Susie had said.
Then Steven took me apart from the rest of group as he had something important to tell me about Mother Deborah.

[Sarah’s P.O.V]
Knowing that going to the apple family’s farm would be dirty; I didn’t bother with grabbing clothes or changing into any. I walk outside the house almost immediately and head straight for the apple farm which is like right next to our home. Before I walk to far away from the house I notice Chase and Jerry walk out of the home at the same time. I turn around and noticed them both walk together to what I guess is Rarity’s boutique. I turn back around and begin to gallop over to the farm where I noticed Big Mac again hauling a great apple crate heading towards town. I then slow down to a trot and go over to Big Mac as his eyes fill with fear of seeing me again. “Hey Big Mac where’s your sister?” With relief he points over to the barn and then begins to trot over to town. I trot over to the barn where Apple Bloom comes out with a small tote bag heading to school.
She then says, “AppleJack one of those ponies from the house we build is here.” She pushes past me and gallops towards the bridge where Scoots and Sweetie Belle are waiting.
“Oh hay… Come in I will show you what you need to do, but only if you’re strong enough.” I walk in and notice how messy the barn is on the inside and knew exactly what needed to be done.
With this I say, “Oh actually sorry I don’t think I’m up to the job of cleaning this.” Aj glares at me, but shrugs.
“Whatever, but you better find a job by the end of the day.”
I nod and then head out of the barn as I hear the starting of a machine rattle with excitement. I then gallop towards town in fear of what this machine could be. Hmm, where else could I go for a job, maybe Sugarcube Corner I mean there really isn’t anywhere else to work at around here? I mean there is the Quills and sofas store, but I don’t want to work. Plus I’m exceptionally well at baking and knowing the show; Sugarcube Corner definitely needs help. Once I reach the bakery I notice the wagon that Big Mac was pulling from the farm is here. So does that mean he’s here, YASS, sorry but not sorry. Anyway I walk into the bakery where Mr. and Mrs. Cake are conversation with Big Mac as he sets the crates of apples next to the front counter. I walk up to the counter and ring the bell on top of the counter to get their attention. Mr. and Mrs. Cake then say goodbye to Big Mac as they walk over to the counter. ‘Why can’t he be mine already? But I doubt AppleJack would give me her blessing to marry him. Why do I care what she thinks? Well then she would be my sister-in-law when that happens.’ I thought to myself.
“Uhm miss, so why are you here?” Mr. Cake asks as Mrs. Cake rolls her eyes and heads into the kitchen.
“Oh uhm I’m here to apply for a job since I’m a wonderful baker and I think you would need help around here.” I say as I put on a hefty smile to gain his acceptance.
He glares over my face as I hear footsteps coming from upstairs. “No you’re not worthy of the Sugarcube Corner, now goodbye miss.” Mr. Cake then turns into the kitchen as my smile deteriorates, but just as he walks into the kitchen Pinkie walks to the counter and calls me back.
“Sarah it’s okay Mr. Cake doesn’t like new people to come in, he did the same with me but then I baked him a carrot cake which is his favorite. Once he ate it he immediately hired me on the spot so.” I nodded and head for the kitchen that Pinkie cooked in which was her personal kitchen.
I gathered the ingredients I needed to create the carrot cake to rule over all carrot cakes. As I chopped up the carrots and mixed the batter with eggs and milk, I also whipped up some frosting with caramel to keep it somewhat solid. I put the chopped bits of carrots into multiple cake tins filled with the batter. I did three variations of sizes on the carrots, one finely cut, the second with small bits, and the third with bite sized bits. I then shoved them into the oven and let them cook. During this time I created the frosting until it tasted perfect which took about 16 tries, it has been awhile since I baked carrot cake, but I think I did it correctly. I then pulled out the three cakes and then put them onto fancy serving plates. I pulled out the frosting I put into the fridge to cool and put it over the cake; I also made multiple carrot designs out of the orange frosting I made. I took a small sliver out of each cake and ate them, to try it. Personally the best one was with the finely cut pieces of carrots so I packaged the other two for home. I then made fancy decorations onto the cake and evened out the edges so it looked professional. I put the cake onto a server cart and wheeled it towards the kitchen where Mr. and Mrs. Cake were waiting for some cupcakes to be baked. Surprise fills Mr. Cake’s eyes as he eyed the carrot cake that I set upon the kitchen counter. I grabbed one small fancy plate and cut him a hefty slice and a nice slice for Mrs. Cake. He then took a bite out of the cake and tried to hide the gratification and sensation he was feeling inside his mouth. “So…”
As he finished chewing the cake, he then opens his mouth “You have the job now I want you to be here by 7am tomorrow. For today though I want you to take these muffins that are in the oven and put them on display in the front. Mrs. Cake will explain everything else you need to do, while I’m going to take this cake into my room.” He grabs the cake and puts it on the serving cart and then quickly trots to his bedroom.
“What’s he going to do with the cake?” I ask of Mrs. Cake.
“You don’t want to know, believe me. Now once those cupcakes are out just set up the display and then you can leave.” I shudder at her response of what he does with cake making me kind of not wanting to work, but I need a job. “In the meantime I’m going to the spa now that you’re here I don’t need to be here all the time.” She waves as she heads out towards the spa.
About an hour later the cupcakes are finally finished, I put the frosting that they had left out on top of the cupcakes and then put them onto another serving cart and wheel them into the front of the store where I see a cupcake display. As I wheel the cupcakes towards the front of the store I hear a loud sexual moan coming from the cakes’ bedroom. Knowing that no one else is here other than Mr. Cake and well the cake that I baked; I quickly push the server cart out into the front counter. I then place the cupcakes onto a display next to the window and push the server cart back into the kitchen. Where I see Mr. Cake with some orange frosting on his hind legs, I cringe knowing what he did with that cake. He notices me and then grabs a cupcake and heads right back into the room, then I notice some orange frosting on his flank hole too. I just turn around and leave the bakery; well carrot cake is definitely his favorite. I check the clock on the wall as I leave it’s about 3pm.
As I walk outside the bakery I notice the rest of my friends are coming from multiple directions about to meet in the center of town. When I reach my friends I tell them about my day and the job that I have, I even tell them about Mr. Cake too. They then tell me about their day and the jobs that they have now, also how the coincidence that we all got off around the same time. “So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” Jerry said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” Chase asked.
“I don’t really know.” Susie had said.
My sister Sara then pulled me away from the group to tell me something important about her new boss.
[Sara’s P.O.V]
With the interview of new job imminent I decided to head towards the room to change into clothes that are more appropriate. Throughout all my schooling though I never really learned how to even interview with others. I mean I know enough for it to be successful I just don’t feel confident about my abilities. I walk over to the Hayburger which really isn’t much of a walk since we lived pretty close to it; once I get there I notice that there are some people here at like 10:15am. I go to the main counter and ask the waitress, “May I speak with your manager?”
“Sure what do you need from him?” The waitress says as she levitates a phone attached to a wall about to call her manager.
“Oh well I’m here to apply for a waitress job.” I say with assurance.
“Oh okay sounds great he will be here in just a second.” She turns to a new customer as I see a stocky stallion with build front hooves.
“So Emily told me that you were here to apply to be a waitress.” He said as he looked over my body.
“Uhm yes, I’m here for exactly that you’re correct.” I said with unease in my voice.
“Great now follow me I will interview you in my back office.” I nodded and saw him turn to the back as I followed. We both walked into the back office as he went directly into the closet to the left of us and pulled out a waitress uniform. He set it to the left of him onto the table, “Now do you have any previous waitress experience?” He asked.
Perfect actual questions, “Uhm well yes I worked at a place like this last month.”
“What made you quit?” He asked.
“Oh Uhm I just didn’t really like the environment or the pay that we were being paid.”
“Interesting, now we pay minimum wage which is about 9.25 bits each hour you work here. Law requires that if you work over your normal 8 hours we must pay you double. Also being a waitress you will receive tips from your customers but that’s expected.”
“Well that’s sound great.”
“Now there is one last thing I need you to do. He grabs the waitress uniform, “I want you to try this on, I need to know if you are comfortable with our uniforms at this establishment.”
“Uhm okay I guess I can try it on do you have any dressing rooms?”
“No but the closet does close so.” He hands me the dress as I walk into the closet to try on the uniform. I close the closet door and begin to put the waitress uniform on. This is somewhat short when it comes to covering my flank but other than that it fits. I walk out of the closet to see the man sitting down waiting, “Perfect, now I forgot to mention my name Richardson Rich, but you can just call me Dick. Now what’s your name?”
“My name is Sara nice to meet you, Dick.” He then turns his chair towards a section of the wall.
“Sara now with or without an h?” He asks.
“Without.” He nods and then tells the wall S-a-r-a, a name tag then pops out of the wall a minute late.
Dick then trots over to me and puts the name tag onto the uniform. “Now I want you to start immediately so go talk to Pinkie about your materials that you will need.” I nod at him and walk out of his office where Pinkie is waiting… weird. “Here’s your notepad, pencil, and pack of gum now get out there.” She slaps my flank and pushes me to the front while she goes into Dick’s office. The last thing I hear before I get to the main room of the restaurant is a loud bellowing voice says, hey Pinkie. I then walk up to Emily and ask her, “Hey Emily
“It’s Emilia”
“What is?
“My name is Emilia Roseheart.”
“Oh okay Emilia; my name is Sara without an h, now I’m the newest waitress so what tables am I supposed to serve?” I look at her and see some sympathy in her eyes which confuses me, but it instantly turns back to over happiness.
“Here Dick said to give this list to any new waitresses, it’s the tables that you will serve.” She hands me a list and I check the tables, one of which is filled with a dark as the night coated, midnight blue with royal purple maned, unicorn.
I walk over to the table and notice that he doesn’t even have a menu, so I grab one and reach his table. “Hello, I will be your server today my name is Sara, *places menu in front of him* now take your time to order.”
“Wait Sara.” He says I turn towards my next table.
“Uhm yes?”
“You are a part of those new ponies that we threw the party for yesterday right?” He asks as he looks up to me.
“Uhm yea why?”
“Well I was just wondering, I feel as if something is wrong with this place.
“Wait what do you think is wrong?”
“Never mind that it’s just a feeling and nothing else. By the way I’m Diamond Fruit, Jeri Bear’s coltfriend which I’m guessing you already since Jerry and his coltfriend Chase probably told you.”
“Uhm okay nice to meet you Diamond Fruit, wait what exactly does coltfriend mean?”
“It means that like Jeri Bear and I are dating.”
“So like boyfriends?”
“What are those?”
“Oh nothing, so Chase and Jerry are dating?”
“Uhm well that’s what Jerry said to us in the most awkward way, but that’s what he said.”
“Well that’s interesting to know, uhm now I really need to get back to work so what would you like to order?”
“I’ll take a hay burger combo.”
“Ok perfect one hay burger combo coming up.” I walked over to the server kitchen counter and put his order in wondering why Jerry would call Chase his boyfriend. Since really isn’t Chase as straight as a pole, I mean yea he has some qualities of being gayer than a rainbow unicorn running on a rainbow leading to rainbowland, but never struck me as someone who would date another guy. As I waited for Diamond Fruit’s hay burger combo to finish being cooked I looked around to see that no new customers were coming in. Or Pinkie who finally came out of Dick’s office has taken them into her grasp. I grab his burger combo and trot over to his table setting the burger combo in front of him. “Here you go.”
“Thanks”
“So what exactly did Jerry say when he said that Chase was his bo-coltfriend.”
“Oh well to quote him exactly he said, ‘Oh and yea he’s my coltfriend too, I’m not single whaaat are you talking about.’ as he motioned his head to Chase.”
“Oh okay, interesting now I’m going to leave you to eat, plus it’s my time to get off this job. It was nice talking to you, Diamond Fruit, though.”
“Same to you Sara.” I nodded and walked away to the backroom where I took off my uniform and put it into my tote bag which lay in my personal locker.
As I began to walk out of the restaurant I noticed Emilia and decided to say goodbye. “Bye Emilia see you tomorrow.”
“Oh uhm bye Sara, but wait I have one more thing from Dick that I need to give you.” She waves her hoof for me to come to the counter where she is stationed.
I walk over to the counter, “So what is it?”
“Here.” She hands me a paper with a sticky note attached it. “It’s your schedule.”
“What about the sticky note?”
“Oh well that’s my number and Dick’s number.”
“Oh uhm wait where do I get a phone?
“They sell them, mhm I forgot what it’s called, but you should have them at your house. All the new cottages have them, and I’m sure that yours has one too since I barely saw you yesterday so I guess you’re new.”
“Oh okay well bye Emilia, see you tomorrow.”
“Same to you Sara.” I walk towards the door to exit and stuff the new things I have into my tote bag.
As I walk outside the Hayburger I notice the rest of my friends are coming from multiple directions about to meet in the center of town. When I reach my friends I tell them about my day and the job that I have, I tell them about Diamond Fruit too. But not about the coltfriend thing just about how he is the coltfriend of Jeri Bear. They then tell me about their day and the jobs that they have now also how the coincidence that we all got off around the same time.
“So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” Jerry said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” Chase asked.
“I don’t really know.” Susie had said.
After everyone's done talking about their jobs I pull Sarah from the rest of the group and tell them we have something to do. “So my new boss at the Hayburger, well I have a bad feeling about him.”
“Why it sounded as if nothing was wrong?”
“Well since he was looking at me just like dad used to.”
“Sara you can’t talk about that here, remember no one knows that about us.”
“Yes I know, but they’re best friends we will have to tell them one day.”
“Well today isn’t that day okay, and you’re just being paranoid not every guy is going to do that.”
“Is that why you dated older men Sarah.”
“Shut up you don’t know what you’re talking about!”
“I know exactly what I’m talking about and so do you.”
“He wasn’t that much older.”
“Not that much older! Bitch you were 14 and he was ten years older than you!”
“Okay but that wasn’t dad’s fault!”
“Yes ever since he left all you have been doing is dating older men and not even keeping them for more than a month. I mean your last boyfriend was nearly 30, but I don’t tell mom because I don’t want her have a heart attack. Also don’t you remember the last time I had to help you remove crabs so that mom wouldn’t find out.”
“Yea and I thank you for that, but don’t push everything on me ever since he left you became paranoid about everyman in our lives. So much so that you ‘found out’ that you were lesbian.”
“I’m not paranoid and no I just figured out that women are something I’m more into okay that was not because of dad.”
“Whatever can we just forget all about him?”
“Yea as long as you promise me that if you do date an older guy or stallion then let him be in his early to late twenties instead of early thirties.”
“Okay I promise.”
“Pinkie promise?”
“Cross my heart, stick a cupcake in my eye, hope to fly, I pinkie promise okay.”
“Great now let’s go join the rest of the group.”
[Susie’s P.O.V]
I noticed that Steven left his dirty plate so I decided to pick it up and put it into the dish washer; I then walked over to our room where he nearly bumped into me. Which I guess was my fault since I didn’t announce my presence to him, letting him know that I was here making him run into me. I changed out of my clothes and grabbed Umber and Espy to come with me to Fluttershy’s cottage. As I fly over to her house with both cats on my back I think about how life was before we came here to Equestria. I mean yea I love this world but I wonder how my family is dealing with me being gone. For all that they care about they probably don’t even know that I left since I’m so quiet. It’s not like they cared about me when I was there, they treated me as an embarrassment since they are so extroverted and eccentric while I was this timid introverted person who just stayed in her room with her baby wolf (don’t ask).
My wolf’s name was Shadow who I loved with every ounce of my blood that coursed through my body. From what I knew about her she was this government genetically modified wolf designed to live with humans and cooperate with them. Kind of like the whole human raised by wolves, but a wolf raised by humans. She also has some other special qualities like telepathically communicate with someone she cared for deeply. The government was looking for the perfect candidate who would resonate with Shadow’s soul; my family was personally picked out by Shadow since she was attached to my mother’s leg as I was in her womb.
There were also other things of which she could do that I knew nothing of. One time when I had awoken in the middle of the night I noticed that Shadow was not on top of my bed with me. I noticed a purple light coming from beneath my bed so I looked under to see this portal that lead to a hellish looking world. I had asked what that place was and she told me that it was her home where her mother and father lived. She explained to me that she was not of the government but born in a different dimension and stolen by your government. She was also thrown around another dimension called Equestria where she grew up with a pony called Jeri Bear. She also mentioned how my mom had found her one day when I was in the womb; she was looking for someone she could find protection with by soul searching. She had a letter sent from her dad to explain to my mother that the government at sent her to my house. At the time I didn’t know what she was talking about, but now I did and I was in that dimension of which she used to live in.
With the goal of leaving this dimension and acquiring Shadow again was my true goal, yes I know that she might not be here anymore, but I would have to try. Maybe Jeri Bear would know what happened to her, but I can’t do that right now I need to find a job. I finally arrive at Fluttershy’s cottage where I slam into the door as I was so deep into my own thought.
She opens the door and say, “Oh hey… uhm who are you?”
“I-I-I’m Susie.”
“Oh hey Susie, well I’m Fluttershy and it’s nice to meet you. So why are you here?”
I look at her in silence then remember why I was here, “Oh I am here to see if you need any help around your cottage like a job where I take care of your animals or something. I’m really great with animals; I used to have a wolf pup so I have some experience.”
“Well that sounds great, so you don’t have any allergies to pet hair?”
“Uhm no.”
“Okay have your rabies shots.”
“Yes.”
“Are you familiar with the practitioner methods of taking care of animals?”
“Uhm no…”
“Perfect I will teach you that then please come inside. Also are you friends with Chase and Jerry?”
“Uhm yes does that ruin anything?”
“No I was wondering since you have the pets that they adopted from me and well there are some practitioner methods that need to be prescribed to Umber and Espy. And I need someone to pay for those expenses so your first paycheck will pay that off in full. Now each and every creature has their own way and special need of being taken care of. I have a large book that tells you everything you need to know about these animals. Also their food is in my back room be careful not to overfeed some of these animals. Also watch out for the bears, snakes, ferrets, and devil worshiping beavers. They are collectively trying to kill me and anyone trying to take care of them only one bear is friendly and it’s because I showed him who's boss. Now I don’t know you but try not to die or aggravate any of the animals in a way that they might hurt you. Now come follow me out to the back yard.” We walk outside where I see an assortment of other animals like birds. “Same as the animals inside these birds have their food within my back room; the chickens need to be de-egged when you have a chance. If you go that way you will encounter the part of Sweet Apple Acres that I own where the pigs, cows, and sheep live. They need to be fed; also the sheep need to be de-wooled, which they will grow back before winter. Now I have to leave for a very important dragon hunting so take care of my home and my animals with the utmost care. Before I forget, Stay out of my Shed don’t ask why just stay out of it.” Fluttershy then returns to the inside of her home and doesn’t return.
I look to Espy who is lying atop of her outside table while Umber sits behind Espy. “Jeesh I thought she was more of quiet person.” Also wait did she say dragon hunting, what did I miss when watching the show like wtf? Again she also mentioned something about devil worshipping beavers, well Fluttershy deals with a lot more than I thought. Bruh she talked for like an hour how does that even happen? And why does she own a portion of Sweet Apple Acres? And she mentioned not to go in her shed; I wonder what is in there?
Anyway I need to take of her animals also she forgot about the practitioner methods that she was supposed to teach me about. Maybe she put them in the book where she said holds everything you need to know about animals. I walk inside where I see the animals she was talking about and then walk over to the stand where the book lied. I grabbed the book and sat down at the bean shaped table and started to read it.
~ Three Hours Later ~
I finished the book and set it back on the stand I then look towards where the animals are and see that Espy has created a bubble shield around me. While Umber is sitting upon a pentagram and keeping the animals at bay with his dark art magic. I giggle and say, “Oh yea I forgot to feed you guys.” I walk to the back room with Espy shielding Umber and I as I pull out the food. I then walk over to their bowls and dump the food into the variety of animals bowls, I then head outside and do the same with the birds. Espy then lets her shield down as we walk back into the house just as Fluttershy walks back into the house.
“Ahh hello Susie I have returned from my dragon hunting, and here’s a bonus that I will give you from the dragon’s hoard.” She tosses a bag of bits towards me. “That’s about 300 bits, now you may leave, but return to me tomorrow at 8am and we can get your practitioner methods intact.”
I wave and leave while putting Umber and Espy atop my back while Espy levitates the bag of bits with us as I fly towards the center of town. As I fly to the center of town I notice the rest of my friends are coming from multiple directions about to meet in the center of town. When I reach my friends I tell them about my day and the job that I have, I tell them about Fluttershy and how crazy she really is. They then tell me about their day and the jobs that they have now also how the coincidence that we all got off around the same time.
“So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” Jerry said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” Chase asked.
“I don’t really know.” I notice both Sara and Sarah walk away from us and so does Jerry and Steven so I walk with Chase back home. Who has really improved his personality since we arrived in Equestria so that’s a good thing.
[Chase’s P.O.V.]
After I leave Jerry at Rarity’s boutique, I then begin to fly over PonyVille in search of Rainbow Dash to see if I can apply for the weather team or the deconstruction team. As I searched throughout PonyVille I witnessed all of my friends going to their separate end locations looking for a job. With no luck I couldn’t find Rainbow, I flew down to the ground next to the Quills and sofas place which had a help wanted sign on the front window. I went inside to ask the owner of the place about the position that would be open. “Hello sir, I noticed your help wanted sign outside and wanted to know what position is open?”
“Oh uhh yea it’s open it’s a part of the moving department just head to the back and they’ll tell you what to do.” I nod and head to the back where two pegasi are loading some boxes into the back a of moving truck.
“Hello I’m the new guy and the store owner told me to ask you what I need to do.”
“Uhm yea just grab these boxes and load them into the truck.” I nod and grab the box and then lift it and put it onto the back of the truck. I grab another box and start to walk to the back of the truck, but I do not notice a wrench which gets in the way of my hoofing. I trip and drop the box onto the ground in which I hear shattering come from inside the box. Both of the pegasi turn to me, “What the hell happened?”
“Oh uhm there was this wrench on the floor and I lost my hoofing and tripped.”
“That box is literally worth 1500 bits so that’s going to get you fired like now so get the hell out of here.”
I walk away from the broken box and continue to look around for a new job, as I walk throughout the town I feel a breeze pick up. With the breeze a flyer flies into my face; I pull the flyer off my face and look at its contents. The flyer said ‘Masseur wanted! Please come to the spa if you have any experience with massaging.’ Hmm seems interesting plus it’s probably my only choice left. I walk over to the spa which is near Rarity’s boutique and Sugarcube Corner where I notice the window has the same flyer. I walk inside to see the spa sisters standing next to the front counter.
“Awe hello wel-
-come to our spa, are-
-you a customer or -
-one of the masseurs we-
-want to hire?” The spa twins say as they finish each other’s sentences in a weird Asian accent that forms like all the Asian accents.
“Oh yes I’m the masseur you’re wanted to hire.” I hand them the flyer that flew into my face.
“Oh yes this is-
-the ad we put out-
-so you have massaging-
-experience?”
“I think I can say so that I do.”
“Well that’s good-
-enough for us-
-you are hired.” I hear the door open and look to see Mrs. Cake walk in.
“Perfect you’re first-
-customer please attend-
-to her.”
“Hello ma’am I’m Chase and I will be your masseur for the day.”
“Oh okay this is interesting.” She follows me towards a massaging room as she says, “So a male masseur that will bring the business here.” She pulls out a touch phone and begins to type something.
“Wait where did you get that phone?”
“Oh well this one is Government Issue, but you can purchase phones in Canterlot. There’s this one electronics store where they sell many things like phones they’re just pretty expensive.”
“Oh okay interesting. Now I’m going to set up your room so undress while I do that.” I let her go into the other room as I pull the massaging lotion from under the counter near the table. Mrs. Cake then walks into the room and sits herself on top of the table; I pull out the massaging lotion and pour some onto Mrs. Cake as I rub my hooves into her sore muscles. “You feel very tense especially around this area.” I say as I rub out a knot in her left shoulder.
“Oh yes I have been stressed from my job and some of the weird stuff my husband does. Did you know that I never make carrot cake for him? Even though it’s his favorite dessert.”
“Why don’t you bake him that cake?”
“Well it’s personal but I think I can tell you, as long as you keep this to yourself.”
“Uhm yea I can keep any secret.”
“Great, so anytime a carrot cake is made for him he usually takes these cakes and heads for our bedroom. With him going to our bedroom, well one time I noticed that he wasn’t in the kitchen but I smelled the potent smell of carrot cake. It was the day that we hired Pinkie pie which was years ago, but anyway I heard some noise coming from the bedroom so I decided to walk towards these noises. When I entered the room I saw my husband Mr. Cake with a rounded off carrot smothered in orange frosting that was shoved up his flankhole. I screamed when I saw this and he instantly jumped up and threw the blanket over him like as if that would help. He apologized and told me that he only does this when carrot cake is made, so I haven’t made carrot cake since then.”
I stopped rubbing her shoulder when she said flankhole, which surprised me as I felt a sensation coming from my groin section. “Uhm… I don’t know what to say.”
“Yea and that’s why I’m here, also we got a new baker at Sugarcube Corner, and guess what she made to get hired.”
“Was it carrot cake?” I said hesitantly asked.
“Yes exactly that so I decided to get the hell out of their and head over to the spa. And now knowing that they have a male masseur well other than Snowflake, but he was way too buff so it scared me.”
“Well I would've too I mean that’s just weird, but it does show you that he may be interested into other stallions. Especially if he likes the sensation of a rounded off carrot which mirrors a penal counterpart.” I tell her.
“So you think he wants to sleep with stallions?” She wearying asks.
“Oh no but it’s a possibility that he might want to experiment in bed and if you don’t satisfy his needs he may cheat on you with another stallion.”
“Well we haven’t really being doing anything sexual since we had the children. They have been our entire life which just adds to managing the store. Thankfully with our newest employee I won’t be as stressed and I’ll have more free time.” I felt over her back and with me not feeling anymore knots so I told her that she is done. “Awe thank you I really needed to talk about this and really needed this to relieve all my stress.” She hands me 8 bits and walks out the massage room.
Lotus then walks into the room and informs me of, “Your next customer is going to be princess Twilight Sparkle in about a half an hour.” I nod at her as she exits the room; I set the room up by putting a new towel down for Twilight and put the old towel into the soiled can under the sink. I wash my hands and dry off the massaging oil and then lean onto the counter waiting for Twilight to enter the room.
As I wait for Twilight I finally have time to think about my new life in this new place, where instead of being an attractive human to an attractive Pegasus. Well not to be cocky it’s not me who says this it’s the many girls that I have dated. Of which I never really liked and it’s not that I treated them wrong because I didn’t I just didn’t know how to treat them right. What I mean by that is that I treated them as if they were one of the guys and I tried to listen to their problems but they just didn’t work out. I mean I only met Jerry well like two years ago when he was still healthy, he was never really too personal with me. He really only told me what he told the others was that he didn’t want to talk about it. As he got worse I worried for his well-being, but I never knew why I ever cared for him so deeply. I mean I knew I wasn’t gay so why would I ever have feelings for a guy. At least that’s what my dad has taught me, was that gay was bad and you’re not gay or anything like that. My mom told him that it wasn’t me but the other kids; my dad never listened to her and I never understood what they were talking about really. The concept of gay only came up as an insult for something like ‘oh that’s so gay’ or something like that which was a stupid way to use that word. In middle school about a year and a half before I met any of my friends that I know now things were happening at school. I was being bullied one day when well in the locker room I got a boner while the guys around me were changing. I told them that it was something spontaneous and that I wasn’t gay, but they didn’t believe me and verbally bullied me. It eventually escalated to physical bullying, in which they would beat me up anytime I would do anything slightly gay. What made it worse was that when they physically beat me I actually got a hard-on since I enjoyed the pain of their beating. The next year it only got worse- “Oh hey Chase, so you’re the new male masseur I have heard about.”
“Oh uhm hey Twilight yea I’m the new masseur, so lay on the bed.” I grabbed the massaging oil and rubbed it onto Twilight’s back feeling knots all over her body. “Wow you are very tense, well like everywhere.”
“Yea that’s what happens when you are a princess, you have tons of responsibility which means tons of stress.”
“Well I’m here to take that stress out of you to the best of my ability, now is there anything to get off your chest that may lessen your stress?”
“Well not really I mean there are plenty of things I haven’t told my friends or really anyone, but how can I trust you?”
“I have no answer to that you would just have to trust me.”
“Well if it will relieve me of some stress?”
“Yes it will definitely relieve stress.”
“Okay well I think I have a crush on Rainbow dash and I think she has crush on me, but no one knows about this.”
“Wait is that why you had a book in your personal library about Rainbow proposing to you. I think it was called a Day with Twilight.”
“Shit I forgot to remove that from my library, sometimes I can be so forgetful. But yea recently Rainbow and I have been getting closer to each other. I think though we have been dating for a while, but we haven’t really made it official. I think she thinks that we have been together for exactly three years,” Twilight explained.
“Well I think you should tell your friends, but make sure that Rainbow is on the same page as you.”
“Yes I know my friends wouldn’t mind, but it’s Celestia that has major prejudice against anything she says is ‘traditional’ like coltfriends and marefriends. I mean with my new growing prowess I’m starting to not care of what she thinks. Plus I have a feeling that either you and Jerry or Diamond Fruit and Jeri Bear can change her mind about coltfriends and marefriends.”
I stop rubbing my hoof into her left shoulder, “Why would you say Jerry and I?”
“Isn’t it obvious you two are totally dating?”
“Well just to let you know we are not dating at all I don’t even like colts or stallions. I’m overly attracted to mares for your information.”
“Uhm okay sure whatever you say Chase, well anyway I just feel that things will change in the near future especially with the impending doom of Chrysalis and her army. Also with your friend’s mom’s son he is a creature called a yordle in which Celestia loathes. She loathes these creatures because they have invaded her lands in the south she doesn’t like them and has attacked them, but for the wrong reasons. These creatures have come here for refuge from their old land. I have personally spoken with them and they are a loveable species who cared for nature. This species left their land of Valoran since wars spread throughout the land and now that they have to face another war with Celestia they needed one of their most cold blooded killers to do anything to defend their growing village. There cold blooded killer was named Teemo who warded off hundreds of Celestia’s royal army soldiers. I have tried to tell Celestia to keep off the Yordles, but she will not listen to me. I think that’s all that has been stressing me out with the Yordles and Chrysalis and her changeling army.”
“Well that was a lot on your mind and yea if I were you, I would be stressed the hell out. So I can’t even imagine how you feel.” I finally rub out the last knot within the body of Twilight and look at the clock which reads 2:30pm. “I am finished with relieving your stress and didn’t getting all that information off your chest help?”
“Ooh Chase I need to come to you more often you have relieved me of everything that has stressed me out recently.” She hands me 20 bits and then walks out of the massage room.
Lotus then comes into the room and says, “You can leave at around 3pm, just clean up the room.” I nodded at her and moved over to the massage table.
As I cleaned the massage table I began to think about the train of thought I had earlier before Twilight walked into the room. So as I was saying well thinking, it only got worse the next year since my feelings for another guy raised even though I knew he was straight. I just broke up with my last girlfriend which really was a facade for them to think I was straight. Well what I didn’t know was that the people who bullied me had told my crush to trick me and fake date me. Another thing that made it worse was that I started to play football, which made them think I was even gayer and when I changed the guys avoided me in fear that I would be attracted to them. Some of them either one: didn’t care or two: were openly gay, so they stayed and changed while I changed. And wearing a jockstrap didn’t help since it just adds to looking gay when you do change into your jersey. Plus with the aura of straight guys acting gay as hell by slapping each other’s asses with a towel or their hand and then they shower with each other. I never understood straight guys who were homophobic and did what I would do with someone I was dating not my teammate.
Anyway back to my crush; a rumor was spread throughout the school in which my crush told someone that he was gay and he even broke up with his girlfriend in front of everyone. Also with this all being a trick his girlfriend knew that he didn’t actually mean the breakup and him being gay. The next day he came up to me and asked me out next Friday to his house where we could just ‘Netflix and chill’ and I didn’t think too much of it. So that Friday as we were driving to his house, with one of his older friends was driving, he had told me that ‘Netflix and chill’ meant that I would lose my virginity with a guy and someone I especially had a crush on. I became excited from this realization so I especially didn’t think much of it. Once we got there we walked in together, as his friend then also walked into the house and locked the door. I confusingly looked over to my crush and asked him why his friend was staying in here. That’s when all the people who bullied me came from the hall and kitchen to surround me in the living room. All together there were about 8 people including my crush and his older friend, he then pushed me onto the floor.
My crush then revealed the plan of tricking me to come here so that they could have sex. Well the sex part was going to be held to his words, so they all grabbed me and stripped me to my naked self where everything hung loose. He then pushed me onto the floor and unbuckled his pants and threw them down to his knees. He grabbed my head as I tried to push away from him, he then shoved his penis down my throat. He said, ‘Isn’t this what you like faggot especially from someone you love so deeply.’ I began to cry but knew that if I bit off his penis then he could do nothing else, but then he said, ‘If you bite me we will fuck you up.’ This had scared me so much that I kneeled there until they were all finished with me. I grabbed my clothes and walked back to my house crying my eyes out while ejaculation ran down my face.
When I entered my house my mom was cooking dinner and had said ‘So what happened at your friend’s house.’ She looked to me and instantly dropped the knife she was cutting carrots with and ran over to me wrapping her arms around me. ‘Roger get in here and call the police.’ She noticed my busted lip bruised right eye and limp from my left leg. When the police got there and asked me a series of questions and I told them exactly what happened which got my crush and his friends arrested to be put in Juvie for the emotional, physical, and sexual abuse they had caused to me. With this we moved to Buena Park and my dad blamed me and thought I was lying about the force and that I volunteered to have this happen to me. Ever since this night I have hated my dad since he always blamed anything gay on my fault.
I heard the clock ring three times signaling me to finally leave work. I walked outside of the spa and noticed my friends were all gathering around the center of town. When we all met in the middle I told them about my day and I lie to them about my job, and they buy it for now… “So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” Jerry said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” I asked of Susie
“I don’t really know,” Susie had said.
I noticed that Sara and Sarah broke away from us just as Steven pulled Jerry away from Susie and me.
[Steven’s P.O.V]
I head into Susie’s and my bedroom and change into more fitting clothing for a library. Once I leave the room I bump into Susie not noticing that she was there, since she was so quiet. I wonder why she was always so quiet and never really liked to talk to anyone. I mean yea she talked to us but we were and still are her best friends. But you like other people, I guess she just thought that no one was nice or something. Even with all the time I have had with her ever since we got here she never really told me any crucial points about her life. Maybe it was something bad or something others had done, but to my imagination I doubt it was something her past friends could have done. Most of our conversations were mostly just small talk or something about me with my complaint of how this place isn’t that technologically advanced as my originally home. Really I do prefer being on Earth and being human it was easier to do many things, also to be honest it would be less awkward to date someone as a human. But that’s in my opinion, I’m guessing now that some people are a little weird and really want to date a character from this show. I mean that’s why clopfics sometimes scare me since they're about two pastel colored magical beings having intercourse with each other. Or on different occasion between a human and a pastel colored magical horse which is interspecies relations. It isn’t illegal but it can cause different diseases that horses may have in comparison to humans. I mean how do you think certain disease from monkeys came into the human population. I think some people just wanted to be freaky with these monkeys or the disease/virus mutated. Also if you have read certain news reports you would know that a horse’s penis could be as long as 15 inches which would kill you. Okay maybe I have thought way too deep into this, but that’s what happens when you read as much as I do.
And, hey, don’t get me wrong I love to read, but it just not what I prefer. As a young child I was basically forced to read like almost all the time, which yes did advance my grades in English and History. But most people didn’t like me since I was this big know it all that knew like all the answers. I didn’t really make any friends because of this little thing. With that I began to distant myself from my family since they were the ones to push me to read at any moment and any time I had the chance. This bothered me to the core, so instead I decided to spread my knowledge and write which came natural to me. I then found the show which gave me another topic to write about that wasn’t factual but was based a franchise that wasn’t Harry Potter, which I just got tired of writing about. With My Little Pony to watch and write about I soon started to love life again since I met many new friends during this time. The fandom was great except for some few exceptions that put a negative light to shine onto the MLP fandom. And with the classic motto of Love and Tolerate, well I do exactly that, even though they are basically that weird pervy uncle, but they are still family. I mean with the show I met some of my best friends, which who are now with us in well the actual universe of MLP filled with all of our favorite characters.
I finally reached Twilight’s castle door and begin to enter, which like yesterday is filled with ponies from all over PonyVille. I walk to the first door on the left which is the library section of the castle and go up to the front desk where Twilight is reading a book. I trot over to Twilight as I notice her ears twitch she looks up from her book. She remembers who I am and then surrounds me with a shield bubble. I levitate out a piece of paper and a pen and wrote, I promise I won’t scream to the top of my lungs.
She pops the bubble and asks, “So why are you here again? Already done with those books you checked out yesterday?”
“No I’m actually here to apply for a job and well to see you again. I haven’t had a chance to read those books yet but I will by the end of the week.” I say why I slightly giggle.
“Oh okay and yes their due by this weekend so you better read them. And yea I guess I could use some help around here it gets kind of painstaking hard to do all by myself especially when I have other princess duties to do.”
“Great when do I start?”
“Right now I’m going to the spa with Spike; I just heard that they hired a male masseur, well other than Snowflake, which sounds interesting. I had a reservation for today actually in about 30 minutes, but I had no one to handle my job. So I decided to read it over to see if I should cancel it, but then you came in so I can go now. Bye Steven see you later.”
I sighed and sat behind the counter wondering what exactly was I supposed to do I wasn’t even given instructions. I then looked at a laminated paper taped to the desk that said ‘In case I’m not here and I went on a spa trip and you’re a new person here is what you need to do.’ Well she was prepared for this; I read through the instructions and should've known this by the amount of times I’ve been to a library.
~Three hours later~
During that time I mostly sat there and read my books that I brought from my home and checked out a couple of customers books. I checked the clock and noticed that it was about 2:30pm, I then looked back down into my book when I heard a familiar voice say, “Ahh Steven, so I guess you’re the new librarian.”
I looked up to see Mother Deborah, “Oh my god! Hey Mrs. Kim.” I said with glee echoing through the library. She hugged me and then trotted over to this side of the counter.
I looked over to her and saw fear in her eyes, “Try not to say God, they don’t like it.”
“Who Mrs. Kim? Who doesn’t like it?” She glanced down for a second and then looked back into my eyes.
“Celestia and her guards, they don’t like the faiths of the human world or any other country, if you are going to say oh my Cel- I mean god just say oh my Celestia instead.” She said as she looked around the room in fear she would have been heard. “This place isn’t as happy and magical as it is on the screen there are behind the scenes things that these citizens don’t see. With our night of staying here we have been conditioned to say oh my Celestia, also we found a room which was locked by Celestia’s magic. I fear what could be found down there and why it was kept in PonyVille instead of Canterlot. Now I need to go before princess Twilight comes back. Gerald hurry with those books, also one last thing when we arrived here through the portal we arrived in Celestia’s castle. When she saw Gerald she immediately blasted him with a magical attack, my motherly senses kicked in and I blocked the attack with my body. I told her what we were and where we were from so she scanned us to tell if we were telling the truth. She said sorry about the attack it’s just that creatures like your son are warring against her kingdom. There is some major prejudice for other creatures, religions, and ways of thinking here. It’s not somewhere you want to stay for long.” I noticed her ears twitch as a sound coming from outside the library section was made; she grabbed Gerald and teleported away just as the doors opened revealing Twilight and Spike.
“Great Twilight, now that you’re here I need to get something to eat so I’m going to leave.”
“Uhm okay we'll be here by tomorrow at around 9am.” I nodded as I quickly trotted outside of the castle.
As I walk outside the castle I notice the rest of my friends are coming from multiple directions about to meet in the center of town. When I reach my friends I tell them about my day and the job that I have, I tell them about Mrs. Kim too. But not about the Celestia thing just about how she is safe within the castle of Twilight. They then tell me about their day and the jobs that they have now also how the coincidence that we all got off around the same time.
“So she is really a dragon hunter just like Friendship is Witchcraft said.” Jerry said.
“Also what is the whole shed thing about?” Chase asked.
“I don’t really know.” Susie had said.
After we all talk about our jobs I pull Jerry from the group and tell them we're going to go eat something. They all shrug and keep walking back to the house.
“So why did you pull us from the group because I sure as hell know it’s not about food.”
“Oh well you know how I mentioned Mrs. Kim and Gerald.”
“Uhm yea, what about them?”
“Well I didn’t want to mention it to the rest of the group, but when they arrived in Equestria they landed in Celestia’s castle.”
“And that matters why?”
“Let me finish, they arrived there and Gerald was instantly attacked by Celestia, so Mrs. Kim blocked the attack with her body. She told Celestia that they were humans and they came from the human universe so Celestia magically checked them to make sure they weren’t lying. Since the creature that Gerald is, are warring against Equestria so she didn’t want a spy among her and in her castle. Also there are mayor prejudice of many other creatures, religions, and ways of being. Like you can’t say oh my God around her royal guard or her you have to say oh my Celestia or you will be punished. Which by the way that Mrs. Kim acted it seemed that it was horrible punishment. Okay I’m finished now.”
Jerry just stood there in silence. “So do you think Chrysalis is actually just another form of religion or creature that Celestia has major prejudice of?”
“It could be a possibility, there was one book that I checked out from Twilight’s library called Before Corruption. I don’t think it’s 100% true but it says that she was an Alicorn like Celestia and Luna. But Sombra who was also an Alicorn laid a curse onto Chrysalis and her people of the Monarch Kingdom changing them into well Changelings.”
“And maybe Chrysalis hates Celestia for not helping her when Sombra put that curse onto her people. Here let me see the book.” I look through my tote back and pull the book out; Jerry then flips through the pages and finds a good part within part three. “Here it says and I quote, ‘How can you be so sure of it, just face the facts Sister they left you here to die. They wanted me dead I was a power in their way of complete conquest. You stepped in the mix when you visited them, you confirmed their suspicions about me. So they let you leave, they said they were busy and would fiddle with that when they have time. They only said that for you to solve the problem yourself, and knowing that you couldn't either 1:Couldn't bare to kill your own Brother, or 2: That I would kill you and destroy your kingdom. With you out of the way, and me in a weakened state they would be able to kill me and then have nothing in there way for complete conquest. Celestia, also made you an Alicorn so that you would have the power to weaken me. She obviously doesn't know you my Sister.’ unquote. Now I don’t know if this book is hundred percent accurate, but it sounds factual enough.” Jerry said.
“Maybe we can speak with the author, what’s the name of the author?” I asked.
Jerry turned the book over and checked the back to see the author, “It says the Flaming Gay, and do you think they live in this world or maybe it’s a human.”
“But how would Twilight have a book from the human world, and our human world I would understand if it was from the Equestria Girls universe. But this looks like the works of a human from our world.” I said.
“Maybe this ‘person’ actually lives in Equestria, they could live in Canterlot.”
“Well we have to discuss this with the rest of group, but not in public. We don’t know how many spies Celestia could have.” I hurriedly said.
“Yea let’s go join the rest of the group at our house where we will be in private.”
“I also heard that Sarah is bringing home some homemade carrot cake that she got from her job.” I happily said.
“Sounds great, let’s go.” Jerry gleefully said.
[Jerry’s P.O.V]
As we walked back to the house I was thinking about what Steven had said about the book he had found within Twilight’s library. Could it be right? Could Celestia be a tyrannical monster? She never was on the show, but this isn’t the show. This is reality which it seems is much different than the show. I thought to myself as we passed Fluffle Puff’s house. As I entered the front door I noticed that everybody was sitting at the kitchen median.
“As I was saying, there are things that I need to tell you about, when it comes to Mrs. Kim.” Steven says. “Well when I was in Twilight’s library, at around 2:30pm she came up to me and told me what happened to them.”
“What do you mean? You told us she was okay, and that nothing was wrong.” Sarah says worriedly.
“Well I wanted to make sure that we weren’t in public so I couldn’t tell you. And now that we're safe in here where no one else can hear us. She looked in a bad shape; she had bruises on her hooves and an internal fear for being seen by an authoritative figure.” Everybody, but me gasps; I look over to Sarah and mouth the words ‘He already told me.’ “She told me that Celestia, and therefore the people with the power, is prejudice of other races as Celestia almost killed Gerald since he was a creature; in which she doesn’t like. Also once Twilight returned from the spa Mrs. Kim told Gerald to hurry up before Twilight finds them.”
“Wait why did Twilight leave to go to the spa?” Sarah asks.
“She said that they had a new masseur a male masseur.”
“Oh, well I was that new male masseur she was talking about. “Chase says as we all turn to him with surprise filling our eyes.
“Well… that’s interesting…” I say.
“Yea no shit!” Sara says. We just break out in laughter.
“What’s so funny about me being a male masseur?” Chase asks
“It’s just not your thing you know; I mean I thought you would join Rainbow Dash or something like that.” I said.
“Well… that was my plan; it’s just that I couldn’t find her anywhere in PonyVille. So Instead I noticed that the spa needed a new masseur I went in and they hired me on the spot. It’s also where Mrs. Cake goes to lessen her stress.”
“Oh yea she went there since Mr. Cake does some weird shit with carrot cakes.” Sarah said immediately regretting it.
“So you were the new baker who baked him the cake!”
“Wait what does he do with the… cake?” Steven hesitantly asks.
“Well he… *points at hind hooves and does pelvic motions* with the cake. And then he… *grabs carrot and motions the actions of which Mr. Cake had done* yea…” Sarah says while everybody, but Chase stares blankly into Sarah’s eyes.
“What the fuck…” I say as I shrug thinking, ‘Enh sounds like something I’d do.’
“And why aren’t you freaked out?” Steven asks looking at Chase.
“Oh well while I was massaging Mrs. Cake she had told me what he did with the cake.” Chase says as he rubs his head with his hoof.
“Well… I’m just speechless, that’s just something you don’t hear all the time.” Susie says.
“You also don’t hear that the world’s shiest character is secretly a badass dragon hunter with secrets held within her shed.” I say sarcastically.
“Oh well yea that….” Susie says.
“That reminds me, how did we not know this?” Steven asks.
“Well I’m guessing that the writers never wanted anyone to learn this since it goes against what we believe to be her personality.” Susie says.
“I mean I guess, but then again we are actually here in the universe, which seems a lot different than the show so far.” I say.
“Did you check out what was in her shed?” Steven asks.
“No she told me not to, so I listened to her and avoided the shed.” Susie said.
“Oh ok.”Steven disappointedly sighed.
Sara then turned back to us, “So you and Chase *Sara points at us* you an item now.” Sara says while we look confusedly at her. “Your two peas in a pod, you’re sitting in a tree k-i-s-s-i-n-g,” we look at her still confused, as she sighs, “are you two in a relationship?” Sara finally says after her analogies.
I look at her with surprise filling my face, “Why would you think that?”
“Oh well, when I was at my job Diamond Fruit, Jeri Bear’s coltfriend, and he told me that you told Jeri Bear that you two were dating.” Sara says.
Chase walks over to the fridge and pulls out a peculiar drink. “Oh no that was a lie, it was so I didn’t seem like a single loser. And plus Chase is straight anyway so even if I did like him I can’t get at him.” I say as Chase takes a swig of the peculiar drink.
“Oh, well yea that’s what I was thinking.” Sara says clearly disappointed.
“I think you two would be cute together.” Susie mumbles.
“Oh well… okay then.” I say as I look over to Chase flashing him a smile. “Wait what are you drinking anyway?”
“Oh nothing it’s just apple cider.” He says while I curl my eyebrows in confusion.
“Oh ok here pour me some.” I say as I levitate a cup over to him.
“There’s none left I just finished it.” Chase says while he dumps it into the trash.
“Oh okay.” I say.
“I’m going to get some fresh air.” Chase says, we all nod in acknowledgement while he walks to the back porch.
Once he gets outside Sara asks, “What’s bothering him?”
“I don’t know he’s been like this since we got here.” I say.
“Maybe you should go ask him.” Sara says.
“Ugh, but that means I have to go outside and care for another person’s feelings.” I say as Sara glares at me. “Fine I’ll go ask, but you guys can’t listen in okay.” I say while they nod. I walk outside to the back porch to see Chase sitting on the edge of the wooden porch. I trot over to him and sit next to him then ask, “So what’s got you down?”
“It’s nothing…” Chase says trying to shrug it off.
“I can tell that there is something wrong, I mean ever since we got her you have been treating everyone differently. Specifically me, so I want to know what has changed.”
“It’s nothing I swear; I’m just not used to our new home.” Chase says.
“So what you don’t like our cabin?” I sarcastically say.
“No, no it’s not that, I mean the Mlp universe I miss my mom I miss being at home where I can be alone and someplace I know where people can’t judge me.” Chase says.
“What do you mean judge you? We’re your best friends we would never judge you,” I say.
“Are you sure since you guys just did about me being a male masseur. You all laughed.” Chase annoyingly says.
“We only laughed because it’s something we didn’t expect especially coming from you.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean we’re used to you doing the manliest things to differ yourself from anything relating to gay. Which reminds me, why do you do that?” I say as he turns to me with fear deep within his eyes, which quickly disappears.
“No reason, I just… I don’t know it’s what my father had told me to do.” He says while I furrow my eyebrows.
“Wait your father told you to act like a homophobic asshole?”
“Uhm well if you put it like that it sounds terrible, but yea.”
“Why?”
“Just something about my past and what happened, but it’s not really important.”
I touch his hind hoof with my top left hoof, “If it’s bothering you this much, I think it’s important plus you can trust me that I won’t tell anyone if you don’t want me to.”
“You sure you won’t tell them.”
“Yes I’m sure.”
“Well it was the years before I met any of you guys. In middle school I was… nah I can’t tell you, you’ll think differently of me.”
“Chase we already think differently of you especially once we got here.” He looks at me with the ‘oh well I see how you guys are’ face.
“Oh.., well anyway when I was in seventh grade I was going through some confusing times.” I furrow my eyebrows. “Well when I was in P.E. and we would change I would look at the other guys and I felt sexually attracted to them.” My eyes fill with surprise. “But with that these guys started to bully me since they noticed me always staring at them.” My eyes then begin to fill with empathy. “What made it worse is that I joined the football team and they continued to bully, it actually escalated to physical abuse. Football didn’t help my situation in the slightest, since we would take showers after practice and we wore jock straps so…”
“I would say I know what you mean, but I never participated in sports.”
“Oh well, anyway as the abuse got worse well I never told my family about how I felt. Of course they would eventually find out, but not through the glorious of ways. I had fell for this straight boy and well the bullies convinced him to act as if he liked me. So he made a big whole scene with him breaking up with his girlfriend. He then approached me one day and asked if I wanted to ‘Netflix and chill’ so I said sure why not. So that Friday I went over to his house with one of his older friends driving us there. Once we got there,” Tears began to swell in his eyes. “they locked the door after I entered the house.” I scooted closer to him and held him within my upper hooves. “So they pushed me onto the ground and ripped my clothes off, from there I don’t want to talk about it.”
“Why, what exactly did they do to you for you to be so hurt of the memory?” I asked
He hesitated for a moment, but began talking again, “They forced me to sexually pleasure them… they beat me up in the process and then threw me out when they were done with me. Once I got home my mom called the ambulance while my father blamed me of what had happened to me. He said it was all my fault that they had did that to me, he said that I wanted it all to happen, I have always hated my father ever since that night.” Tears began to flow down his face which prompted me to hug him tighter.
“So what ever happened to those bastards of human life?”
“They were all sent to Juvie for physical and emotional abuse, while his older friends were sentenced to community service for six months.” He said as his tears of sadness became tears of anger. “After that big fiasco, we moved to Buena Park for the new school year and I was told to not act gay and stuff like that.” He wiped his tears on his now removed t-shirt and then threw it to the ground.
“Well thankfully they got punishment for their actions.”
“Yea, but I don’t think its enough especially after all I went through.” I then proceeded to hug him tighter which told him to calm down at the same time. “Once we moved to Buena Park, I then went to Kennedy where I met you guys. Now my home life wasn’t perfect though, since I had starting watching My Little Pony. This enraged my father as it was ‘gay’ and for ‘little girls’, so once I heard that you all watched the show and met at the twin’s house, my mom had asked Mrs. Kim if I could come over on Saturday just like the rest of you. Now I only put up the facade of being a homophobic massagist, since I had learned that some people’s fathers at school were friends with my dad.”
“Then how did you ever dress up as a cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane, which in anyone’s standard is pretty gay.”
“Oh well my mom explained to my father that it was a one day thing and that it was Halloween so let him get it out of my system.”
“Oh yea lol, my mom used to say that to my dad, but that was a long time ago.” I said as sadness began to fill my voice, luckily Chase had not noticed.
“Uhm, so anyway I also thought it was a phase too which led me to act like the straightest human being on the planet.”
“Ok I get you, but that didn’t mean you had to treat women like shit or say massagist comments.”
He slightly smiled, “Yea sorry about that, but it was all a facade I believe you guys can forgive me.”
“Well with your more recent change since we have gotten here, I think we can forgive you.”
“So, uhm you never told me what had happened to you when you started losing so much weight?”
“Oh it was just things at home, but it was nothing so I forget about it.”
“Oh okay, I just always worried for you and it seemed that you told the others and never told me anything about your personal life.”
“Well I never told you, since you were always such a jerk to basically everyone. Not so much that we didn’t like you, but to the point of which you were annoying.”
“As you said yourself I have changed and that it’s for the better.”
“Yea, well I didn’t say that specifically.”
“But it was close enough.” He says while I let out a laugh.
“I guess, now the reason I ‘starved’ myself was because my home life wasn’t the greatest, my dad was a chronic drinker, while my mom was diagnosed with severe depression.” I said as the sadness from earlier returned to my voice. “As the time went on both their addictions were getting worse, as my dad would drink anytime he had a chance. My mom stopped going to work and we were ordered by the doctors to keep sharp things away from her.” Tears began to swell up from inside my body. “I’m just going to say that it didn’t end well and lead to me starving myself.” He looked at me and embraced me within his hooves as he whispered into my ear ‘It’s okay you don’t have to continue.’ I pushed apart from him, as I gazed into his glistening golden eyes, he then withheld my face within his hooves and pushed his lips onto mine. I closed my eyes and went deep into the sensations that I felt throughout my body, but as sudden as the kiss was, it ended just as suddenly.
We then pushed apart from each other and awkwardly stared into each other’s eyes as his cheeks began to fill with embarrassment. I look over his shoulder and notice a massive orange mass setting just below the horizon. “Maybe we should go inside,” I say as my cheeks now fill with embarrassment.
“Yea…uh... maybe we should go inside,” he says as a smile creeps upon his face.
I stood up and offered him my hoof as I started to open the porch door with my magical grasp. He accepted my offer of helping him up and grabbed onto my hoof. We both walked into the house, but just before we entered we stopped holding each other’s hooves.
“Took you two long enough.” Sara said as she winked to me, this prompted me to furrow my eyebrows.
“Well yea, we were just talking about how we feel about… this place.” I say as I look around the house.
“So I think we should make dinner now, don’t you agree?” Steven asks.
“Yea let’s see what’s in the fridge.” Chase says as he walks over to the fridge.
I walk over to the sink counter as Steven reads about how to make a vegan chicken salad, which doesn’t include using chicken. I then go on top of the counter and look into the mirror as if there is something within it. I push my face up against the glass and hear an interesting noise, but the noise is interrupted by a voice coming from behind me.
“What are you doing Jerry?” Sarah asks as I turn to her noticing that I’m in the way of the sink which needs to be used.
“Oh sorry, it’s just that, eh nevermind.” I push myself off the table and walk over to Steven who is reading from the cookbook.
[Third Person P.O.V]
A blue unicorn appears in front of a glass as a video camera is recording the conversation happening within the kitchen. Goes inside of camera to a room filled with multiple screens having live feed of each room within the cottage of these new foreign beings brought into this world. A lone white unicorn sits upon a chair in front of these screens as he reads a newspaper called Equestria Daily. A red light then flashes onto the newspaper as one of the screens shows the blue unicorn from before. The white unicorn looks up onto the screen and then pushes a button which enables sound,
“What are you doing Jerry?” A lime green earth pony says.
“Oh sorry, it’s just that, eh nevermind.” Jerry says.
The white unicorn presses buttons onto a phone, “Eliza speaking, What do you need?”
“Patch me to Celestia, tell her Moonshine.”
“Ok sir.” The phone then rings for a sec.
“Celestia speaking what is it?”
“I think you should come over, there’s something I need to show you ma’am.” The white unicorn says as he pulls out a tape and labels it The Foreigners.
Fade to black…
