The strange ride begins
Your slowly to wake from your slumber, as light seeps thro your eyelids, making you scowl to try and keep the intruding light out.
Unfortunately, it didn't work and you slowly open your eyes, letting them adjust to the penetrating light.
When finally opened, you furrowed your brow as you are looking up at what looks like a wooden sealing.
The memory's of last night coming back at you in force, ending with the last one showing that you fell asleep in the car. Even in your still groggy mind you know you should be looking at the headliner of the car.
As you sat up, you notice your were sleeping on the couch that some one let you use as a bed.
Looking around, you notice that the room you were in, you think the living room, almost took the hole first floor with an exception of a wall at the other side with a doorway that seems to lead to the kitchen. There was a small staircase in the corner against the kitchen and outer wall that slightly spiralled up to the second floor, leading to what you presume to be where the bath- and bedrooms are.
You also notice that there are all kinds of housings for animals hanging and standing around the room, but it seems there are no animals around.
The rest of the furniture, the little there was, were more for practical use then anything else. Also that every thing in the room and outside the window was brightly coloured, as if you'd stepped into a cartoon.
How the heck did I get here? You thought to your self. Where am I? And what happened to my car?
'Ow, you're awake,' A small, timid feminine voice said, snapping you out of your thoughts.
You look to were the voice came from, but saw nobody in the doorway of the kitchen.
A movement a few inches lower to were you were initially looking at, made you look down and take on a wide eyed glance at the site of the animal moving toward you.
It looked like a...pony? But there was a difference from the few pony's you'd seen and this one.
The coat of the pony was a light yellow and the main and tail are of a pink colour that extended all the way to the ground, ending it in a slightly curled up to a tip a few inches of the floor.
A large pair of blue, green eyes, that looked strangely familiar, looked at you and the pony was doing something you thought was not possible, it was smiling slightly.
'Thank goodness,' it said, making your jaw drop. 'I didn't know what kind of creature you are, but you looked like you needed help and I always help creatures that are in need.'
But the pony's smile faltered upon seeing the shocked expression on your face as a million thoughts ran trough your mind as you tried to make sense of it all, not really sure how to react to this.
'I-I didn't want to scare you,' The pony said, wile taking a few steps back and looking away whilst hiding her eyes behind large lock of mane. 'I'm sorry.'
Your incoherent thoughts were thrown to the back of your mind by the site of the sad pony and, For some reason, you didn't like to see her like this.
'No no,' You quickly stammered. 'you didn't scare me, I was only surprised by you.'
Now she was looking at you in shock, 'Oh my, you can talk.' she gasped, an enthusiastic smile made its way on her muzzle. 'That's great, I have so many questions like: were are you from? Who taught you to speak? What are-'
'Whoa whoa,' you interrupted the wave of questions, whilst waving your arms from side to side. 'I've got some questions too you know,' The statement earned you a sheepish smile from the pony, 'now, how about we introduce our selfs first? Why don't you start?' you finished and gestured to the pony with a outstretched hand.
She nodded, 'My name is Fluttershy.'
'Hello Fluttershy, it's nice to meet you, my name is Anonymous, but you can cal me Anon.' You said with a warm smile. 'But please,' You continued, 'Can you tell me where I am and how I got here?'
'Why, you're in Equestria!' Fluttershy said in shock, 'ow you poor thing,' her posture turned sad. 'you probably forgot when you were trapped in that odd metal...thing.'
'Wait, Equestria?' You asked with wide eyes. 'You mean I'm on a different world or something?'
You pinch yourself to see if this wasn't a dream..nope, that hurt, so you weren't dreaming. You turn your attention back to Fluttershy with a worried look, 'Can you please tell me what happened before you found me?'
Fluttershy brought a front hoof under her shin and furrowed a brow as she thought, 'Well,' the mare started. 'It was late last night and I was getting ready to go to bed, when I saw a great flash of light, followed by a large roar of some kind. When I looked out the window and saw that strange looking carriage standing there. I flew down out the window to investigate-'
'Wait,' You interjected. 'flew? As in flying? How?'
'Well, its not that difficult when your a pegasus.' Fluttershy stated, fluttering her wings.
Your jaw flung open at that and the fact that you didn't even notice those until now.
'Uhm, shall I continue?' she asked timidly after a minute of awkward silence.
You closed your mouth back up and gave a slight nod, not able to come up with what to say.
'Where was I?' She thought out loud, a moment went by before she perked up. 'Ah yes, flying out the window to investigate, there I saw you going unconscious behind the glass in the front of the odd carriage.'
'I was able to open the door, but was not able to carry you out, so I got my friend to help and took you inside.' Fluttershy finished.
'And that brings us to the here and now.' you said, earning a nod of the mare.
I looked out the window and saw two deep grooves in the dirt, but there was something missing, 'were is the car?' you asked, looking back at the mare in front of you.
'The...car?' Fluttershy asked with a confusing look in her eyes.
'Yes, the car,' Putting more inference on to the latter two words, 'you know, the weird carriage you were talking about? were is it?'
'Oh, my friend Twilight took it with her to study it.' She explained.
'To study?' you exclaimed with your eyes wide, already seeing it being dismantled in a crewed way and peaces lying every were.
You stood up from the couch as fast as you could, earning an 'eep' from the mare.
'No. No no no,' you said franticly, you got on one knee and took Fluttershy's front hoofs in your hands, making her slightly blush.
She started to pull her hoofs from your grasp, but stopped immediately after hearing you say, 'Please, I need you to take me to your friend before she does something to the car that I can't fix.'
'You don't have to worry Anon,' the mare said with a smile, taking a hoof out of your hand and caresses your upper arm with it, making you relax almost immediately.
How did she do that? The thought left as quickly as it came as Fluttershy continued to speak, 'Twilight wanted me to ask you about how you ended up in it and if you knew where it came from, before she started any thing.'
You release a relieved sigh before letting go of the hoof that was still in your hand and standing back up again.
'That's good to hear.' You said smiling, only to blink a couple of times as you remember something from few moments ago. 'Hold on, when I first talked, you were surprised that I could. How would you understand me if I couldn't?'
'Well,' Fluttershy started, rubbing her foreleg with a hoof and try to hide behind a large bundle of her mane.
the psychic wall that you have in your mind that helped against to much cuteness and had held strong all those years of seeing little puppies or what else overly cute came your way, just to crack a bit at the sight. It was just that adorable.
'Its b-because of m-my special talent,' she stammered, 'I'm able to t-talk to all k-kinds of wild creatures and they can understand me as I can understand them.'
As if on queue, animal's of all sizes slowly came from there homes that were on and in the walls or hanging of the sealing of the house. there were mice, otters, birds and even more. A little white bunny even jumped on to the back of the yellow mare.
'Oh, hello Angel.' Fluttershy said to the bunny with a smile. The bunny seems to talk to her, as he was making noises that you couldn't subscribe and glaring up to you when he finishes his conversation.
'Ow come now Angel Bunny,' Fluttershy tsked, looking from the bunny to you. ' Mr. Anonymous is a new friend and it isn't nice to say such thing's to friends.'
Angel just keep staring at you with narrowed eyes, but remained silent.
'Please Fluttershy,' you said after several seconds, still a little baffled of what you just saw. 'you can call me Anon, if you call me mister, it only makes me feel old.' The mare giggled, holding a hoof in front of her muzzle and causing another crack to form in your wall against cuteness. Damn it.
'Look Fluttershy,' You started again when she composed her self, 'as much as I like to answer the many questions you certainly have for me, I'd rather like that we head to your fiend and get my car back. After that, you can ask away.'
The mare slumped down a bit, as did her smile, 'But I-I need to feed my animal friends first before we can go. I-if you don't mind.' The latter came out in an form of a whisper.
You never felt like a bigger jerk in your live until now, 'N-no, of course,' you said quickly, waving your hands in front of you in an apologetic manner. 'I'll even help to pay you back for taking me in last night.'
It was at that moment that a growl emanated from your stomach, at first getting a shocked expression from the mare and ended up in her giggling even louder than before.
At this rate, you won't have a psychic cuteness blocking wall left.
You scratch the back of your head with your hand with a sheepish smile on your face, 'It seems that my belly wants some food to.'
'I notice,' Fluttershy said, still chuckling slightly, 'come on, we'll feed the animals first and then we can eat,' she paused for a second before continuing, 'uh, do you like pancakes?'
you grinned, 'Is fuel injection better then carburettor?'
At the confusing look of Fluttershy, you face palmed, remembering that they don't even have cars here, 'That means yes.' you finely explained, to witch the mare smiles.
---->> <<----
After feeding the animals and having the most delicious pancakes you'd ever had, you and Fluttershy cleaned the dishes that were used and put them away before leaving the house, heading for Fluttershy's friend called Twilight
As the two of you made your way down the road to what seems to be a village, you look up in the sky and see that the sun was still low above the tree tops, indicating that it was still early in the morning.
You look back down in the direction of the village, seeing something that look like a tower with a crystal on top that was star shaped standing out over the rest of the homes.
'That's the little town of Ponyville,' The voice said next to you.
You look down at Fluttershy to see if she was kidding about the name, but she had a genuine smile that indicated that she wasn't.
'And see those tower in the distance?' Fluttershy asked as she pointed a hoof in the direction.
At your nod she continued, 'That's Friendship Castle, that is were Twilight lives.'
Ponyville? Friendship Castle? You thought to your self, Couple that with the bright colours of this place and you start to think that your in a cartoon for little girls.
Keeping that for your self for now, you turn your attention back to Fluttershy.
'It seems.. nice. ' You said casually, as you pass the first houses of the village.
'Ow, just wait until see it up close.' She said excited, flying a bit and clamping her hoofs together before landing again.
'Well,' You chuckle, 'we'll just see when we get there.'
---->> <<----
'Wow,' Was the only word that came from you at the moment , as you now look at the building in front of you. The bottom of the castle was what looked like a crystallized tree, with dark purple at the "roots" and base, getting to a light blue in the branches. The latter seemed to be holding the actual castle itself, witch was a lavender color and the trimmings, roofs, railings and front door looked like it was made of gold. On the banner that hang on the side of the building bore a pink star that looked like the crystal on top of the tower.
The mare next to you giggled at your totally confused look you have, 'Told you you'd like it.' she said as she made her way op to the stairs towards the door.
You look around, 'Since your ponies,' you started. 'I thought my car was pulled here by your friend, but I don't see it.'
Fluttershy was standing at the door of the castle, 'Oh no,' she said. 'Twilight used her magic to teleport your car inside the castle.'
'Magic?!' You asked, snapping your head toward the mare. 'what do you mean magic?'
'Well uhm,' Fluttershy said, hiding behind her mane, 'every unicorn and alicorn can use magic though their horn, I'm sorry that I can't tell you any thing else about it.' as she finished, she looked down at the ground.
You look at the pegasus for a few seconds, your mind to busy racing with the idea of real magic, that it didn't even register how cute she was looking.
You release a defeated sigh and look at the mare with a small sad smile. 'Fluttershy, you are nothing but really kind to me and all I'm doing is being a real big jerk to you,' The smile fades from your face as you drop your head and look at the ground. 'I'm sorry.'
The sound of hooves hitting the ground that are getting closer and stopped a few feet away, looking up, you see a smiling Fluttershy.
'Your not a jerk,' She said, 'I see this is all new to you for some reason and I want to help you with it as best as I can.'
'Thanks Fluttershy, your a very kind pony.' You said as you gave her another smile, earning a little blush on the mares muzzle. 'Now lets meet with your friend Twilight.'
Fluttershy nodded and after getting up the stairs to the front door, the both of you enter the castle.
---->> <<----
The inside of the castle was huge! You wouldn't believe it if you looked at it from the out side, it actually looked bigger.
You keep walking down the hall with allot of doors adorning the walls, following after Fluttershy who seem to know were she was going.
though following her was unnecessary. Becauce as you walked along, you can hear the sound of a muffled voice increasing as you got closer.
Stopping at the door were the voice seems to come from, you can now clearly hear what's being said.
'-keeping her?' You hear a impatient female voice say, the first piece of the sentence was broken off as you were making your way to the door. 'She knows how important this can be for Equestria.'
As she said that, the sound of hoofs going back and forth can be heard.
'Would you relax and stop pacing Twilight?' A young male voice said. 'Of what you told me, you didn't set a time to meet with Fluttershy. And perhaps that creature that was found in that thing is still sleeping, like I should.' the last part came out as a grumbled whisper.
As an agitated groan came from Twilight, you look at the mare next to you with a raised eyebrow. She just gave a sheepish smile and reach for the door handle.
Before she could open the door, a bang with the sound of an party horn could be heard on the other side of it, making you and Fluttershy jump back in surprise. By the sound of the yelps coming from the door, you weren't the only ones that got a scare.
'Hi Twilight, hi Spike.' said a very energetic female voice.
'Pinkie?!' you hear Twilight yell. 'what are you doing here?'
'Well,' the one called Pinkie said. 'I saw Fluttershy with a strange creature by her side walking this way and because I've never seen that creature in Ponyville means that he's new in town and that means it needs a "welcome to Ponyville party".' She finished in rapid succession and ending with a squeaky toy's squeak.
'You mean Fluttershy is underway over here with the creature?' Twilight asked with a happy tone.
As she asked that, you look back at Fluttershy, who also seems not to know what to do.
'No silly,' you hear pinkie answer, 'their already here.' and with that the door opened, showing the occupants inside.
A pink head with a darker pink fluffy mane poked out form the side of the opened door and two big blue eyes that looked at you with joy.
'Hi,' She said with a wide smile as she came closer whilst jumping. Apart from the really pink colour, Pinkie looked like a normal ponies you know from your world. 'I'm Pinkie Pie, and who are you?'
'Pinkie,' Twilight's voice said right after, interrupting what you were about to say. You turn to look at her. She is a lavender coloured pony with a horn on her head and wings on her back, the mane and tail are purple with a lavender and a pink coloured stripe running through. 'he probably can't even-'
'Hi pinkie pie, I'm Anonymous.' you interrupted her with a smirk. 'It's nice to meet you.'
'- communicate. With. You.' Twilight finished, her mouth hanging open.
Pinkie's smile and eyes grew larger, 'What are you I never seen something like you are you some kind of minotaur of course your not-'
This continued on for a minute before Twilight found her composure again.
'Pinkie!' She yelled.
'Yes Twilight?' Pinkie asked.
'Your rambling. Again.' Twilight explained.
'Oops,' Pinkie said, her ears and head drooping, but still keeping a sheepish smile. 'sorry.'
'Well, since that is out of the way, let us introduce ourselves.' After saying that, Twilight cleared her throat. 'I'm Twilight Sparkle, princess of Friendship.' She said, with a hoof on her chest and her head in the air. It only made you raise an eyebrow, making her cough slightly before continuing. 'You already met Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy,' she pointed with a hoof to the mares is question, 'and this is spike, my number one assistant.' waving a hoof where he stood.
Looking the pointed direction, you see something what looks like a reptile standing on his hind leg's, with the majority of scales a light purple and the ones that went from his bottom yaw, over his belly and ended at the spade end of his tail was of a light green colour. The spines on his head that also went to the spade end of the tail were a darker green.
'Hi.' Spike said, giving a slight wave of his claw and wearing a nervous smile. 'I-it's nice t-to meet you.'
'And I'm Anonymous,' you said with a nod. 'but you can call me Anon.'
'Nice to meet you Anon,' Twilight said. 'even though I am curious about your species and were you come from, I rather want to know what that contraption is we found you in.'
'why do you want to know?' you said as you looked around, seeing that your car isn't in this room.
'For scientific purposes of course.' Twilight said with a smile.
'That and she already let the princesses know that she'll be sending her results to them.' Pinkie said happily.
'Pinkie!' Twilight gasped, glaring at the pink mare.
so, there is more than one princess here, you thought to your self. and it seems those are somehow in higher ranking than Twilight. I should ask Fluttershy about that later.
As you finished your thoughts, you see that Twilight was having a headed conversation with Pinkie. 'Twilight, it's oké!' You said loud enough to be heard. 'I don't mind, but instead just telling you, I can also show you.'
'Really?' Twilight asked with a smile on her face, after getting a nod from you was she was bouncing and cheered. 'This is gonna be great!'
Her eyes widened in mid jump and as she landed there was a little blush on her cheeks.
She cleared her throat, 'come on,' she said with her head held hi, but still having a blush. 'that contraption is in a other room.'
You and the three mares left the room, Spike said he had something to do for someone called Rarity, tough it was clear to you that he doesn't want to be near you.
'Oké Spike,' Replied Twilight whilst rolling her eyes and opened the door on the other side with her magic, making you gawk at it in amazement.
As we went in, Twilight turned to spike, 'just be back for dinner.' and with that she closed the door behind her.
She turned to you with an apologetic smile, 'Sorry about Spike,' she said. 'he thinks every creature that comes from the forest is out to eat us.'
You just shrugged, not really listening as your mind was already set on the thing in front of you.
Twilight trotted over next to you as you stared at your car with a smile, 'Soo Anon,' she started, smiling at you and levitating several pieces of paper as well as a quill. 'can you please tell me what this is?' she pointed at the red machine in front of us.
You look down at her and said whilst smiling. 'Freedom.'
