Crashed and Burned in Equestria

by Gaz1997

Getting a job…..and clothes…..and answering questions….great! Part 2

(“Ok let’s recap, I have my favourite pony in my arms presumably asleep, that has a crush on me even though she only met me yesterday and she doesn’t know that I have a crush on her great. I think that all makes sense to me, I’m not insane and this is real but this is a bit awkward”) I was thinking to myself still about the situation I was in but in the end I was ok with it.
It took me another five minutes to get to raritys home with the cyan mare still in my arms. Asleep. “Dear god she looked so cute when she’s asleep” talking quietly to myself I eventually found myself at the foot at the fashion designers door and knocked with my foot as my arms where already preoccupied.

I heard hoof steps from the other side of the door then the sound of it unlocking and there stood a white mare with purple mane. “Hello rarity I’ve here to see about getting myself some clothes” I spoke politely “hello to you to matrix” she replied “erm don’t mind me asking but….why are you holding rainbow dash?” (“Oh s**t quick think of something”) “Oh….erm…she er… she tripped and er…landed on her wing awkwardly and I er…offered to carry her yeah is there a problem” I answered putting on a fake smile

“Oh there’s no problem at all but please do come in and make yourself comfortable” she gestured my inside with her hoof “thanks rarity erm do you have someplace where I can put sleeping beauty here down” I asked sarcastically with a grin on my face “yes just put her down on the sofa over” she pointed to the other side of the room. I walked over to the sofa and tried to put the sleeping Pegasus down but she wouldn’t let go “um excuse me rarity but could you give me a hand here” I said out load “with what dear” I heard her reply from across the room so I turned around to face her and held my arms out wide with the cyan mare still clinging to me fast asleep she chuckled a bit then carefully used her magic to pry her of me and gently put her down onto the sofa undisturbed

“Thanks again rarity” I said as I stretched myself after carrying rainbow all the way here “think nothing of it darling” said rarity not make yourself while I go get what I need to measure you” and with that she trotted of upstairs. While she was of doing that put down my rucksack and my guitar next to the wall and pulled out my laptop and put it onto the table next to me. After quickly logging on I pulled up my settings and quickly went to work, after five minutes of quickly fumbling around in my settings I had put certain restrictions on it so if anypony got there hooves on it they wouldn’t be able to go on certain things on the internet, YouTube etc. I didn’t want anypony going on here and looking at anything that they shouldn’t be seeing. You get what I mean. I then heard the sounds of hooves coming down the stairs but they were too loud and fast to be only one pony, it sounded like at least three ….. Wait…… aw crap.

Before I could react I was bundled to the floor by what seemed to be three smaller ponies standing on my chest. I took a second to clear my rub my head as I had hit the floor and looked up at the three fillies standing on top of me. I instantly recognised who they were. I was none other than the mischievous CMC themselves applebloom, sweetiebelle and scootaloo “HEY MISTER ARE YOU THAT THING THE PRINCESS SHOWED US YESTERDAY” they all said in perfect unison “firstly yes, yes I am, secondly I’m a human, thirdly my name is matrix and fourthly ooowwww did you have to shout that loud I have ears ya know and would you be so kind and jump of me please” I asked kindly.

they got of me and I stood up and dusted myself off. I must feel like a giant to them as I was literally towering over them but they didn’t seem scared at all in fact they were staring up at me in pure aw. I broke the silence “well aren’t you going to introduce me to yourselves” the white furred filly was the first to speak “hi my names sweetiebelle” “and ma name’s applebloom” “and I’m scootaloo and together we are” they all took a deep breath the shouted out loud “THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!!”
(“how did I know they were gonna do that, ow my ears again!”) I was then saved by the sound of rarity’s voice coming down the stairs

“sweetiebelle don’t you and your friends go disturbing matrix now I have to measure him for some new clothes which reminds me matrix do humans always wear clothes?” she asked out of curiosity
“yes we do most of the time unless we are going out swimming or doing something like that or when we are bathing so yes we do but there’s also another reason but I don’t want to say it out load” I said “why ever not dear” she asked I waved my hand for her to come over she did and I whispered into her ear and upon hearing what I just said she blushed a little
“well I can see why now you didn’t want to say that out load” she said glancing over at the CMC who were talking amongst themselves something about their cutie marks or something “well shall we get started on the with the clothes then” I stated “oh yes of coarse *ahem* sweetiebelle why don’t you and your friends got outside for a bit while I make matrix his clothing” said rarity “oh ok” the CMC said again in unison then they walked off out the door.

I had left vinyl’s store at around 11:00 in the morning and it was 02:00 in the afternoon according to my laptop I had spent three hours at rarity’s and it was actually ok despite what I had thought earlier she had taken my measurements and had already had gone to work and when it was lunchtime we stopped to have a break and I took a chance to show her some human fashion on my laptop and I was surprised to say that was deeply impressed by some of the fashions my world had to offer.

After a quick lunch she went back to work and when she had finished she had produced six different coloured t-shirts, four pairs of trousers, seven pairs of socks and underwear, two hoodies, a coat and she even took the liberty of making a pair of trainers as well so I didn’t have to walking around in my RAF boots all the time and she also made me a set of formal attire for special occasions I was downright shocked that she would do all this for me and when I came to give her money she refused but I insisted which in the end she took it

“thanks again rarity you have completely out done yourself but is it alright if you could hang onto my clothes for now so I can come collect them later because right now my arms are pretty full with my guitar and rucksack” I asked “of course it is darling just don’t forget now to pick them up” she replied then put the clothes into a nearby trunk with her magic “I won’t but right now I gotta go do some other things, I’ll come back later tonight for the clothes c’ya” I turned to my laptop and put it in my bag and pick up my guitar, slung them over my back and proceeded to leave but then quickly remembered I had forgotten about somepony. Rainbow dash. I turned around to see that she wasn’t on the sofa anymore (“hm she must have left when rarity was making me the clothes ah well”).

I left the boutique and walked back into pony Ville heading towards the library where I guessed twilight would be waiting to ask me all sorts of questions by now, now that I was feeling a lot better, I was walking through the town centre looking at all the other pony’s going about their business then I spotted applejack with her apple cart selling apples I walked up to her and said in my best southern accent “well howdy there AJ how go’s it selling ya apples” she chuckled a my attempt at the accent and replied “well howdy to you to their matrix care for a apple” she gestured to her cart “don’t mind if I do how much” I asked “two bits an apple” she said “not bad I’ll take one” I said taking out a coin from mind money bag and tossing it over to her which she caught and put into her box of money then in turn picking up and apple then batting it to me with her tail.
I didn’t react quickly enough and it hit me right in the face (BOOM HEADSHOT!!) And I stumbled over but caught it before it hit ground applejack was on the floor in hysterics at this but straitened her out when I had regained my own composure.
I then took a bit of the apple a it was bursting with flavour better than any apple I had eaten on earth

“damn this has to be the best apple I’ve ever eaten applejack” I said “well thank ya kindly matrix say could you do me a favour and look after ma stall for a bit while a go back to the farm to get more apples” she asked “of course but how long will you be?” “I reckon ‘a’ bout fifth teen minutes or so a’ promise” “ok AJ I trust you just don’t belong” she nodded then trotted off towards sweet apple acres (“note to self-make a stop by their sometime and see if AJ needs a hand with anything”) I took of my guitar and rucksack and picked up a chair and stool that were next to the stall and slouched down on the chair and put my feet up on the stool.

Five minutes went by and I had served one customer a few apples and putting the money in AJ’s bit box. I was starting to get bored but I quickly answered that problem by pulling out my guitar and laptop looking for a song to play that would fit the mood I was in and after thirty seconds I found the song I wanted and began strumming.

“I'm staring out into the night,
Trying to hide the pain.
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing.
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain”.

“Well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home.
Well I'm going home”.

“The miles are getting longer, it seems,
The closer I get to you.
I've not always been the best man or friend for you.
But your love, it makes true.
And I don't know why.
You always seem to give me another try”.

“So I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong”,

“And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old”.

“Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all,
And then some you don't want.
Be careful what you wish for,
'Cause you just might get it all.
You just might get it all, yeah”.

“Oh, well I'm going home,
Back to the place where I belong,
And where your love has always been enough for me.
I'm not running from.
No, I think you got me all wrong.
I don't regret this life I chose for me.
But these places and these faces are getting old.
I said these places and these faces are getting old,
So I'm going home”.

I finished playing and I looked around to see that some of the ponies in the market area had stopped what they were doing and were looking in my direction to the source of the music. A few applauded me with their hooves while others were just looking in like they had never music before and then they all went back to what they were doing before. I was just about to put my guitar away then I felt hoof touch my shoulder. I turned around I was looking at a mint green coloured pony with and darker mint green and white mane and tail and had what looked like a lyre from my angle I knew who this was, one of the most recognisable background pony’s from the show.

Lyra heartstrings.

She had a very wide smile on her face as I looked at her. I had read some fanfics about her before and remembered that some people said that she was obsessed with the fact that humans were real and everything about them. Well I guess this proves that since she was looking at me as she was about to faint from over excitement. So I tried to make conversation with her because that smile of hers was starting to creep me out a little. “erm hello is everything ok miss” I was prepared for she did next “I KNEW IT, I JUST BUCKING KNEW IT, I KNEW HUMANS WERE REAL AND THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE ME OH BOY WERE THEY WRONG”.

“whoa whoa whoa hey calm down don’t draw attention to yourself like that jeez and I’m right here you know so there was no need to shout down my eardrum’s (“ow my ears hurt a lot right now and I thought the CMC were bad, if this carry’s on I’ll do deaf”)

“heh heh sorry about that I was just a bit excited that you’re really here(“no kidding”),my names lyra what’s yours and you are a human correct” she said “my name’s matrix and yes I’m a human why do ask?” “oh my a human in equestria, oh my celestia you have to tell me all about your world please I want to know tell me tell me” she said again getting a bit too overexcited “ok ok I tell you” and so I began to explain a bit about my life and earth whilst trying to keep away from the touchy subjects.

Five minutes later I was saved by applejack as she returned with a waggon of apples and then relieved me of applecart duty so I could finally get going back to twilights. I said my goodbyes to applejack and to lyra who been sitting and listening intensively to what I told her. She never looked happier as walked off and with that I grabbed my gear and carried onwards to twilight’s preparing for another load of boring hours, this time I was probably going to be talking to twilight about everything on my world. My brain was going to have headaches for a while but after today I would hopefully never have to do anything like that again…….for a while at least
