When I wake up its to a bright curious pair of honey gold eyes twinkling at me, still half asleep I gently raise a hand and touch my finger to a soft furry nose.
"You. Are. Adorable." The little creature giggles brushing my hand off with pale yellow hooves covering her nose.
"Zecora! It's awake!" She chirped a contry twang to her voice. I sit up as a confused looking Zebra peeked her head in from a adjacent room.
"I must admit my surprise at you being aware so soon, I was sure the quickest you'd wake was with the full moon."
So this is the 'Favorable future' Sapphire? PONYS?!
....I'd hoped I'd been dreaming, I smiled for them trying to ignore the voices in my head. "Sorry for startling you miss Zecora. Am I saying it right?" I know the little cutie had just said it, but with the thick accent you never can be to careful. Thankfully the Zebra just laughed.
"Zecora is right as you presume, and this is my little apprentice sweet Apple Bloom."
"A cute name for a cute Filly." Apple Bloom beamed with delight Zecora smiling and ducking back through to finish was she was doing, apparently figuring I was harmless.
"Where'd ya'll come from and what even are ya'll? Only two legger creature I ever saw where Discord and that Minoter guy."
"...You mean a Minotaur?" She clapped her hooves.
"That's it! Ya'll a girl one of them?" I laughed and pet the top of her mane her little ears twitching.
"No, I'm Garnet a Crystal Gem."
"Crystal gem?" She arched a eyebrow "....Don let Spike close he'll try and gnaw on your foot. Dragons reallllllly like their gems." I laughed a little nervously picturing a massive dragon plucking my Gem's out my hands...
....Would it be wise to invest in gloves?
There are no major changes to fate caused by the presence or absence of gloves.
"So ahh...Why ya'll in the Everfree Forest?" She asked after a few moments of awkward silence.
"It wasn't planned," I shrugged "One moment I was in a large gathering the next I know I'm in this forest and I pass out, kinda embarrassing."
"So...Ya'll ain't got no home? No bed?" I shook my head "T'aint right...Ah know! Ya'll can stay at Sweet Apple Acres with me and mah family! Ah mean...Zecora ain't really got the room for ya." The hut was rather cramped for my rather giant proportions.
"I don't want to be a bothe-"
"Shucks, you kiddin? A extra pair of hooves or...What ever it is ya got there is allways needed on the farm!" She beamed glancing out the window wilting a little "...Though it is gettin kinda dark, 'nd Applejack will probably want ya'll to work before you can stay...." She gasped and clapped her hoove again "The Clubhouse! It's a little small but you can stay there tonight 'nd tomorrow show em what you can do!"
I hummed trying to think of a gentle way to let her down, I've never done farm work before nor did I really have a handle on my new for-
"I would be delighted Apple Bloom."
.....That.....wasn't.....me....
I watched the scene detatched from it as Apple Bloom did a happy dance and started hurrying my body out the hut without me in the drivers seat.
...Honestly didn't know we could do that, pretty cool!
Holy crap...Is....Is Sapphire controlling me!?
Apparently pretty awesome let me do it next!
I DIDN'T LET HER DO IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
....Awwwkward....
I can still hear you two you know.
GET OUT OF MY BODY YOU BITCH!
Watch the language.
To be fair Sapph you should have given her a heads up.
This is the best outcome for us, we can talk about this once I've-
YOUV'E!? THIS IS MY BODY!
-Sorry, we've gone to sleep. I only want the most favorable future for us.
....And you think hijacking my body instead of saying 'Wait it's better for us to go with her!' is a good way to insure that! Sapphire fell silent after that, Ruby to probably sensing that if she spoke my ire at Sapphire would get piled onto her. I sighed trying to settle in this strange nothingness inside my mind where Ruby and Sapphire apparently resided, this was going to take some getting used to.
