Phew, what a day this has turned into already. It is barely one o' clock and it almost feels like I just got rocked by a hurricane, a colorful hurricane full of crazy ponies that is. After Sweetie and Derpy had their brief talk, Sweetie continued to cling to me for most of the time afterward and though I adored her and all her sweetness, it was starting to become a bit much. But every time I tried to ask, she would look up at me with her big eyes that just gleamed and shimmered with her happiness. So I could never find the will to defy her and let her continue.
But once I got back to the main group I did get her to stay still in one place since I was going to get the gifts and I did not want her to ruin the surprise. I started off with Fluttershy, I presented her with a few animal care books I had, along with a couple of old animal calendars and finally a huge animal encyclopedia listing pretty much any animal that ever lived on Earth. She greatly surprised all of us when she flew over to me and hugged me so tight and thanked me in a very loud and happy voice. Thankfully she did not notice this change either or else she might of pulled back into her shy shell.
Next up was Applejack and her gifts. I did not think it was as grand as some of the others since all I gave her was a big apple recipe book, along with a farming book and tools. But I was pleasantly surprised again when she ran up to me and began shaking my hand with vigor while she thanked me over and over again for the most thoughtful gift she had ever got in a long while. Thank goodness for that Dragon magic boosting me up cause I swear she would of shook my arm off this time.
Rarity eagerly awaited like a child during Christmas time, so I quickly rounded up my gifts for her so she did not start bouncing around like Pinkie. I handed over my moms fashion magazines first before I brought out my mothers old clothing and jewelry but held them back “Rarity, before I give you these. I need to tell you and the others who don't know something important first” I said. It took only a moment before I regained all of their attention.
“Well, back on Earth I only lived with my mother for most of my life due to my father accidentally getting her pregnant and leaving town once he knew. But one year she started feeling very sick and her health started to become worse and worse as the weeks and months grew until almost a year and a half later when it finally took its toll and claimed her life” I solemnly explained. The three who knew stood in silence but the others adopted a face of utter shock and gasped.
“As for her the cause of her death, I would prefer to tell you individually at a later date since I just discovered the real reason in Canterlot and I am still processing that information. But for now I just want you to know Rarity that even though she has passed on, I would like you to have her clothes and some of her jewelery so they can be of better use then just collecting dust or waiting to be auctioned off” I explained again.
“D-d-darling.... I don't...... I don't know what to say” Rarity fumbled with her words.
“You don't have to take them Rarity, I just thought that it would be better to put them to good use instead of remained untouched. I would be really happy to see some of her style and beauty being used to help others. But like I said, if you feel uncomfortable then I understand” I said to the purple haired seamstress.
Rarity took a few moments looking over the few dresses I carried before looking up at me and smiled “I would be honored to accept these Adrian. I will do my very best to carry out her memory through my creations! Oh! Deary, what is your mothers name? I want to name this set after her!” she asked.
“Oh yeah! Her name is Vivian. Vivian Marie Frost” I answered.
“Vivian? What a lovely name! And unique! Excellent! This will really catch the attention of all of Equestria!” Rarity proclaimed. So with that I carefully handed over the rest of her things and Rarity got right to work examining and thoroughly going over every single stitch and detail the clothing and jewelry had. After that I rounded up the CMC and presented them with the latest Guinness Book of World Records, explained of course what it was and how they could use it. Almost immediately I could see the gears start to spin in their minds and their faces gave way to cheerful expressions and new ideas.
They almost ran off right there and then but I quickly yelled out “Wait! Girls! I am not done!” and in the blink of an eye the three were right back in their spots with expecting faces. I chuckled a bit with a shake of my head before I dove back into the box for Applebloom first. “Alright, here we go. First up is Applebloom. For you I found this apple-themed bow I got at a County Fair a few years back. Thought you might like it” I said to the small, little farmer.
She greedily snatched it up with her hooves and in one swift motion she had undone her original bow and replaced it with mine. Once she was done she looked up at me with a nice looking smile “So, how do I look?” she asked me.
“I think you look very pretty Applebloom” I honestly replied and was met with a grinning red haired filly. I readied the next gift and looked at Scootaloo “For you Scootaloo, I want to give you this first place medal I got when I was little” I hung it around my hand so that when I lifted it up she could clearly see it hanging. It was a simple gold medal hung by a red, white, and blue neck piece with '1st Place' on the front and a picture of the globe on the back.
“Whoa! Adrian! This is awesome! But don't you want it since you earned it?” Scootaloo asked me.
I shook my head “No, I was not doing anything with it anyway. Just another piece that was collecting dust. And besides, I think it fits you more and will help remind you that no matter what happens you will always be number one!” I replied with a grin as I hung it around her neck, though it as a tad to big as the medal slumped against the ground. “Hmm, might need to adjust it a wee bit”
This time Scootaloo shook her head as she took it off in order to double loop the neck piece, amazingly it fit around her neck perfectly and now she wore it proudly. “This is so cool! Your amazing Adrian! Thank you!” she quickly said before she buzzed over to Rainbow Dash and began showing it off. I could not help but smile again as I rolled by eyes. Now as I readied my third gift I turned back around and was greeted by an ever smiling and cute looking Sweetie Bell who was almost bursting at the seams with excitement.
Now I understand a little how Cadence felt around me cause now I felt like scooping her up and cuddling her forever and ever cause she was ADORABLE. But I shook off that feeling as I brought my arm around and presented my gift for her, it was a purple scarf with a pretty floral design and at each of the scarf were two small silver bells that quietly rang with jostled. I could tell she liked it cause her eyes were glued to it and sparkled a little.
“And this is for you Sweetie Bell, when I saw this again I thought of you first and I think you would look beautiful wearing it. We found this at a yard sale, my mom and I, and when my mom picked it up the owner told us that his son bought it for his wife when he found it overseas but she never wore it. So we picked it up and she occasionally wore it during winter time. And now I would like to give it to you Sweetie Bell!” I told her. She glanced back up at me with a pure star-struck look on her face.
“Re-really?” she innocently asked me.
“Really really” I replied back just before I leaned down and gently wrapped it around her neck while scooping up her mane so it laid on the outside. Once again I think it would be better if Rarity adjusted the length of this piece as well since it took about three to four wraps until it nicely rested around her. But she did not notice as she twirled around a few times to show off her new gift, the bells softly ringing in the air. At once the three CMC members got back together and admired their new gifts before turning to me and pounced!
All three landing on my chest and proceeded to hug me as much as they possibly could well shouting multiple thank yous over and over again with a few sweet sounding giggles now and then. Feeling the urge to cuddle and snuggle rising up within me like a magic spell, I gave into it and wrapped my arms around the three and proceeded to hug them like they have never been hugged before! And it was glorious.
A few minutes went by as the four of us sat there laughing and hugging but I had one last present to give and it was one of the most important, so with a lot of reluctance I slowly stripped the three small giggling fillies off of me and placed them back onto the library ground. Of course they all groaned and asked why they could not play some more. I nervously chuckled in response but I took a good look at Derpy and I heard AJ, Rarity, and Rainbow come over and herd them back. I am grateful that they understood my not so subtle hint.
Once the space was cleared the gold eyed pegasus flew over and landed in front of me, just so she could gaze lovingly up into my eyes. I smiled as we looked at each other for a few seconds before I reached behind me, picked up a small rectangular black box, and brought it in front of us. “Derpy, this is my second gift to you and I wanted to wait to give it to you in person because it is meant for my very special someone... er, special somepony I mean” I nervously chuckled again which caused Derpy to giggle in response.
I opened the box and I presented the very same necklace that Cadence had helped me pick out when I was on Earth, the silver necklace with woven strands of metal that encircled around and down into the center frame with a yellow sapphire gem in the middle, that shined almost as much as her eyes. I heard several ohs and awes behind me but Derpy covered up her mouth with her shaking hooves but I could tell she was happily smiling.
I picked it up and grasped each end in my hands so I could easily reach around and clasp it together, once it snapped in place I leaned back so I could center it real quick. Once it was perfect I let my eyes wander up and saw how perfect it looked on her, I could not help but smile and tear up a little “You look beautiful” was all I said before she leapt into my arms again this day and gave me an endearing kiss.
The moment we pulled back we rested our foreheads against each other, in order to just lovingly gaze at each other and bask in the moment. I snuck in one more quick kiss before I turned to the rest of the group “Well, that is all my gifts! I hope you all like them!” I said to them all.
“OH I certainly will darling! I love the patterns and the stitch work in these dresses! I already have plenty of ideas for the next lineup! And even though I already said it, you two make the sweetest couple! Oh, I do hope I can find my own love soon!” Rarity dramatically said with a woeful sigh.
I glanced over at Twilight who had a slightly annoyed face and mouthed Spikes name. But that kinda got me thinking and I decided to bring up the subject “Speaking of finding love, I am kinda curious. Do any of you girls have a....ah, special somepony or are thinking of one?” I asked. The room grew very quiet, very fast. I glanced around and all of them were either thinking, looking bashful, or confused.
“Well, I may be looking at a certain special someone but I am not quite sure yet” Rarity was the first to say. I wonder if she is meaning Spike or somepony else.
“As fer me, I ain't really been looking for a partner. I got the farm ta look after. But if I was to look for somepony, they would have ta be at least as strong as me!” Applejack stated.
“Oh gracious no....I don't know if any stallion would like me” Fluttershy quietly said. “But that is alright, I have plenty of company between the animals and all of you and even Discord when he comes around for lunch and dinner and tea. In fact I see Discord most days, he is great company once you get to know him”
“Oh, so you hang out with Discord?” I said with a surprised tone.
“I sure do! Have you met him already?” Fluttershy asked. Discord huh? I haven't seen him since that whole mess in the Crystal Empire. I better keep that under wraps since that would just be another thing she would worry about.
“Yep, I sure did. It was.... interesting” I said.
“Yeah, he takes a while to get used to but I think you would like him” she said back to me.
“So, what about you Rainbow? Has a certain stallion caught your eye?” I grinned a little while asking. But instead of flat out rejecting it or something else crazy she actually blushed a bit and bit her lower lip. “No way”
“Shut up! It's not like it is anything serious, just looking is all. What about you egghead? Some super hot bookworm got your pages stuck together?” Rainbow huffed out. She soon realized on how wrong that sounded cause her face exploded into red and I think steam started forming.
“Adrian? What does she mean b-” Sweetie Bell started to ask me but I quickly cut her off.
“Not until your older Sweetie Bell. Much, much older. Hopefully never” I firmly stated.
“Oh, ok. Whatever you say!” she happily replied. Oh thank goodness for youthful bliss.
“..... well said Adrian. And for your information Rainbow Dash, he is not a bookwork! He is gu-” Twilight cut herself off as she realized what she was about to say but it was too late.
“Twilight? You have a crush?” Rarity asked in disbelief.
“May.....be....” Twilight silently answered. She peaked around and saw all of us staring at her expectantly and she quickly followed up with “What about you Pinkie?! I bet you have somebody you like!”
“Well duh! Of course I do!” Pinkie chimed. Now everyone looked confusingly at Pinkie who wore her usual smile.
“.....well spill the beans Pinkie! WHO?!” Rainbow loudly asked.
“I like Adrian of course! And I like Mr. and Mrs. Cake, and all of you girls, and Princess Celestia and that baker in Canterlot and that one pony in the crystal empire and-” Pinkie continued to name off random other ponies.
“No, no, no! We mean, do you have a special somepony? Like how Mr. Cake is Mrs. Cakes special somepony” Rarity quickly corrected her way of thinking.
“OH! That kinda like! Hmmmm..... well I don't like him enough to marry him yet or anything but I kinda like Cheese Sandwich! He was super duper fun once I knew that he wasn't trying to replace me!” Pinkie boldly stated which got the rest of the group to sit in silence. Guess they all didn't expect the goofy Pinkie Pie to be farther in some sort of a relationship then any of them.
“Wow, well if Pinkie has the guts to admit it then... well like I said it is not really anything but I have kinda liked Soarin from the Wonderbolts. Ever since we talked at Rainbow Falls we have been talking more and more and I think he is pretty cool guy” Rainbow said.
“I think I might sorta like the guard Flash Sentry in Canterlot” Twilight quickly uttered out. AH HA! I knew it! She did like him! Will defiantly write to Celestia about this!
“Well? How 'bout it Rares? Who is your mystery fella?” Applejack asked.
“I am not saying, a lady has to have a few secrets after all” Rarity huffed as she shrugged off the question.
After all the confessions were finally done, I could not help but chuckle a little “Sorry if I made that an awkward question, I didn't think it would lead to where it did” I said.
“Ah don't worry about it Adrian. I think it is something we have ta talk about now and then. Heck, ya got yerself a fine lady and you've only been here for a short while! We need to catch up to you now!” Applejack jested and finished with a chuckle of her own.
DONG..... DONG..... DONG
“Well gracious me! That is the school bell! Now you three run along now! I don't want Miss Cheerilee to yell at us for making you late!” Rarity said to the three fillies.
“Awwwwwww man!” Applebloom whined.
“Dang, and it was just getting fun too!” Scootaloo said.
“But I want to be with Adrian more big sis! He just got back home!” Sweetie Bell complained.
“Tut tut tut. No whining and complaining young lady! School is equally as important!” Rarity said.
“And besides, I am not going anywhere anytime soon. So we can hang out again anytime!” I said to the three and that is when I got an idea “Hey, how about this. How about I walk you three back to school? Or better yet, I can carry you like before!”
As soon as I suggested that I had three bouncing and smiling fillies at my feet. Me and my big mouth. But I reap what I sow, so I scooped them up and placed them in their usual spots. Scootaloo on my left, Applebloom on my right, and Sweetie Bell on my head. Once I felt them settle in position I turned around to Derpy “I will be right back, do you want me to meet you back here or at your home?” I politely asked.
When I asked, she blushed a bit while she fiddled with her hoofs “Ah-actually Adrian..... could you wait until dinner time. I have been wanting to cook you a special meal for when you got back” Derpy nervously said.
“I would happily wait, just tell me what time you would like and I shall be there” I replied.
“Ho-how about eight o' clock tonight?” she asked me.
“Sounds like a date!” I happily exclaimed.
“Ye-yes! A date! A dinner date! Perfect! Well I better go and get myself ready! I-I mean the food! I better get the food ready for myself. NO! I mean for you! Us....I.... um” she started to fumble her words while her blush grew. I carefully leaned down and planted a small little kiss on her forehead and smiled.
“I will see you at eight o'clock for our dinner date Derpy” I simply said which got her to calm down.
“Yes! Well, I will see you then. See you then! Bye!” she responded with before flying out and away.
“Well I better be heading as well, don't want you three to be late. I will see you girls later!” I quickly said before speeding along to the schoolyard. I vaguely remember where it was when I walked around town the past few times. Thankfully the three of them acted as my GPS cause I took a wrong turn twice but got back on track the next second. Withing a minute or so I saw the big red schoolhouse coming up and decided to put on the speed.
And just like that we found ourselves standing in front of the school! Though I think I may have gone a bit too fast cause the three of them looked like they just got out of a wind tunnel with smiles on their faces. But once I put them on the ground they shook it off and smoothed out their manes.
“That was fun! I would not mind going to school like that everyday! What a rush!” Scootaloo excitingly said.
“Defiantly! Well, we better head inside. See ya later Adrian!” Applebloom said.
“Ah! There you girls are, I was starting to wonder where you ran off to for lunch” I heard a new voice call out. Looking up I saw a purple colored mare walking up to us with a two-toned light pink mane color and a trio of flowers for a cutie mark. At first she only looked at the trio of fillies but then she noticed my large shadow and finally looked up at saw me smiling down at her. “Whoa! Oh my, sorry about that. I did not see you there” she apologized.
“No problem, I have not been in town for a while. Just got back today and these three wanted to welcome me back personally. Sorry if they are late at all” I apologized this time.
“Oh no, they still have a few minutes but I like to be a little early in afternoon attendance and when I saw them missing I was simply curious. So, you must be the being from another world we have all heard about. The hyomun?” she said.
“Am I already that famous? And that was not quite right, I am a hue-min. Human. And my name is Adrian Frost. Nice to meet you” I explained as I bent down on one knee.
“Hue-hue...humin. Human! How wonderful, I love learning new things! And my name is Miss Cheerilee! I am honored to finally meet you and you are not really famous per say, it is just these three have been talking about you non-stop” she playfully eyed the three who all grinned.
“Ah, I see. Well knowing these three it was all good things since I would never show my bad side to these silly little things. It was nice meeting you Miss Cheerilee, I should probably get going” I said to her.
“Oh! Mr. Frost! Wait a moment, I am actually wondering if you might want to stay and introduce yourself to my class! You see, even though you have been the talk of the school house and only with nice things, a few students have been a little worried and kinda scared about such a.... imposing figure such as yourself. All the talk about your giant height and magical abilities and such” she explained.
“Oh, I had no idea! Well, since you asked I would be happy to introduce myself. I would hate to think that anypony would find me scary” I said.
“Most wonderful news! Alright girls, head inside first and don't say anything. Mr. Frost, stand outside and wait until I call for you then come in and introduce yourself then just follow my lead. Alright?” she instructed.
I nodded in acknowledgment. With that the CMC rushed inside while giggling and were shortly followed by Miss Cheerilee, she began by taking attendance before clearing her throat “Now class, today we have a special guest speaker today. He is one of Ponyvilles newest residents and I am sure you all have been curious about him ever since his arrival. Well as luck would have it he stopped on by and I asked him to introduce himself to you all. So lets give a warm Ponyville welcome to Mr. Adrian Frost, the human!” she loudly stated and was soon followed by the sound of hooves clicking together.
At first I almost bonked my head against the doorway but once I bent over and slowly walked in I found that I had to kneel in order to fully extend my body. So once I got on my knees I smiled and waved hello to the now quiet class who were staring at me.
“He-hello everyone. As Miss Cheerilee said, my name is Adrian Frost and I am a human being from another world. I heard that a few of you were a bit worried and scared about me and I just want to show you that I would never think of hurting any single of you. So if you want to ask me any sort of question, please feel free” I finished my introduction but I still saw that they were all staring at me.
“Wow, he is tall”
“Look at his mane, how bizarre”
“Can he really do magic?”
“Look at his eyes, they are so cool!”
“Yeah, he is not as scary as I thought”
I heard other similar whispers starting to spread and they seemed to be loosening up and were probably close to talking.
“Hah, I always knew he would not be scary. In fact, he looks kinda funny! Like a hairless monkey!” I saw a small filly say with a tiara on her head. At this another filly beside her that had glasses on started to snicker and I heard two more snickers coming from the back.
“Diamond Tiara! That is a very rude and inappropriate thing to say to our guest! Now you apologize right this second!” Cheerilee said in a teacher voice.
“Why should I? I am only stating the obvious! Right Silver Spoon?” Diamond Tiara said and the one next to her started nodding in agreement.
“Diamond Tiara! Enough, I am telling you to apologize right this instant” Cheerilee tried again.
“Fine.... I am sorry hairless monkey” Tiara said with a smirk which got the other three to snicker again. Ok, I am usually pretty good with bullying but for some reason she is really ticking me off.
“Hey! Don't talk about our friend that way!” Sweetie Bell yelled.
“Yeah! Why you always gotta be such a jerk anyway?!” Scootaloo said next.
“Ha! Makes sense for this freak to be friends with you blank flanks. Hey, I wonder if I give it a banana it might do some tricks for us” Tiara said. Ok, enough is enough. Time to take matters into my own hands.
I slid onto my feet and even though I had to bend, I made sure I stood up to my full height as I loomed over her desk, which happened to by at the very front. At this all her haughty language and snickering friends became silent and you could taste the suspense in the air.
“Wh-what do you want? Y-y-you monkey?” Tiara tried to sound impressive but failed miserably. I slowly reached down and picked her up by the scruff of her neck, like a cat, and I walked back to the where I was and sat down. Next I lifted a knee up in order to place her down on it, her head facing the door. Watching my strength, I slightly raised my hand and I began to spank her multiple times.
The whole class, Miss Cheerilee included, watched the spectacle with their mouths open while they stared. I continued to spank her until I saw her backside starting to turn a very light shade of red, at that I gave one more good smack before I picked her up like before and gently placed her back in her seat. Soon as I did that I returned to my kneeling position and smiled again.
“My deepest apologies Miss Cheerilee, but back on Earth when a child starts acting up and makes a scene, parents usually give their child a spanking but in lieu of them doing it I took up the mantle and gave her the appropriate punishment. I apologize again if I broke any rules or code of conduct” I sincerely apologized and gave a slight bow. “Also, normally this punishment would go for any and all children who follow such behavior. However I think they got the point, would you other three agree?”
The other three who snickered nodded their head furiously, before adjusting their posture to sit up as much as they could and placed both hooves on the table. However the whole class became silent again after that, that is until I heard a colt speak up in something of a British accent. “Heya! Sir Adrian! Could ya show us some of ya magic please?”
“Sure!” I quickly responded. Gathering that feeling again inside, I willed up some dragon fire and spit out a very small and controlled fire ball which I caught in my hands. Next up in my other hand I summoned a few small pillars of lighting, after which I tossed the fire ball in the middle of my hands and caught it using the lightning. Using both hands to control the static charge, I used it to change the size of the fire from large to small and did a few tricks. For my final trick I tossed it up while killing the lightning and when it came back down I clapped my hands together, putting out the fire and sending a ring of smoke across the whole class.
When I opened up my hands again, the smoke was still rising from my hands for a few seconds then nothing was left. Once again I was met with silence, not even the CMC were clapping (though to be honest, I think they were still awestruck with Tiaras spanking), that was until I saw Silver Spoon start to clap with her hooves, not even a second later the entire class was in an uproar and shouting compliments and how cool that was and other similar things. Looks like I made a good impression after all.
---------- 2 ½ Hours Later ----------
“Sweetie Bell! Applebloom! I hope you are all ready to go!” I heard Rarity call out as she looked around for them.
“Over here! Over here!” Sweetie Bell called out as she hung onto my arm.
“My goodness, what in the world are you all doing outside of..... class” Rarity slowed her speech down when she came behind the school and saw that I was slowly spinning nine kids on my arms, shoulders, and head like a helicopter. After my little presentation, at first it was a ton of Q&A about where I was from and yadda yadda, soon as that was over it somehow become recess for the rest of school and I was the jungle gym. Well, mainly thanks to Sweetie, Scootaloo, and Applebloom since they wanted their usual spot while playing and the other kids started jumping on, which led to one thing then another and now here I am.
But now that we were found all the other parents had started gathering up their kids who all said their goodbyes to me and told me how awesome it was to meet me and that they wish for me to come again soon. A lot of them were pretty fun to know, like Featherweight and Twist and especially Pipsqueak, the little pirate with a British accent.
“And here you were, worried you would not be able to spend more time with Adrian” Rarity jested with a little smirk.
Sweetie Bell replied with a sheepish grin and a slight blush to her cheeks but soon enough Applejack and Rainbow came by as well to pick up the CMC, who almost had to be dragged away cause they did not want to let me go. But a quick ear scratch later and they became quite easy to move. I would of gone with them but I decided to stick around and play with the rest of the kids until they were picked up.
After another ten minutes, the last kids were picked up, save for a certain four who were having an in-depth discussion with Miss Cheerilee and their parents about their rude behavior in class in regards to me. I stuck around cause I wanted to talk to her as well, but as luck would have it her, the kids, and parents all came to me.
“Hello there good sir, my name is Mr. Filthy Rich and I am Diamond Tiaras father and I want to offer my personal condolences to you. We know that she is not perfect and have been trying our best to straighten her out but I could not believe that she went so far this time. Words cannot express how sorry I am for my daughters actions” the stallion said. “Kids, I believe you all have something you want to say?”
Three of the four took a step forward and all said sorry to me, but surprisingly they all rushed up to me and started talking to me.
“That was amazing how you did that fireball and the lightning and the boom!” the bigger, green colt said who was called snips.
“Yeah! Like totally amazing dude!” the taller, skinnier one said named snails.
“Yes, it was really cool to see you! To be honest, I kinda thought you were a some kind of monster but your really nice! I'm really sorry for laughing at you” Silver Spoon said with a sad face.
“Yeah, were really sorry!” Snips repeated.
“Yeah, me too” Snails said last.
They all looked down on the ground and kicked the dirt a bit. AH jeez, I am a big softie. I kneeled down and told them to climb up. They all eagerly rushed on and I spun them around a few times at a slightly faster speed and saw them all smiling and having fun. Silver Spoon was on my right shoulder and I bopped her nose real quick “Your more pretty when your not snickering” I told her which got her to smile even more and laugh.
After a few more spins I gently put them on the ground and sent them back to their parents who thanked me and walked off, leaving only me, Miss Cheerliee, Diamond Tiara and her father.
“Well Tiara?” Mr. Rich asked her. But she looked away and pouted. Man, she is a stubborn one alright. Hmmm, what could I do? Ah, maybe I could try this!
I scooted a bit closer before I slowly lowered myself to the ground and sat cross legged. This caught Tiaras attention but she backed up a bit while I remained still with a smile on my face. “Hey Diamond Tiara, I am sorry that I spanked you but you were being very rude to me and saying I was a hairless monkey was a mean insult to say. What I did was not meant to hurt you or embarrass you. It was just meant to teach you a lesson”
“You see, we have a saying on earth 'Treats other how you want to be treated', so when you treated me badly I simply treated you badly as well and showed you that it does not feel good to be treated that way. But did you see how your friend Silver Spoon apologized and I gave her a ride? That's because she was honest and truly sorry for what she did. So since she treated me nice I treated her nice. I like to think some things are just that simple. So how about it? Do you want a ride too?” I softly said to her.
Once again she remained silent and stood back with her head to the side but I sat still with a smile and I extended my hand out a little bit, hoping she would take it. After a few more seconds she slowly tip toed over to me and followed my hand back to me where she sat in front of me and gathered her words. “I..... I am sorry...... Adrian” she quietly said. I simply smiled and petted her mane a little bit which surprised her but I think she liked it. After I stopped she continued to sit there but she began stuttering something under her breath.
“Sorry, I didn't quite catch that” I said to her.
She nervously looked around for a second before she spoke up and uttered “C-c-can I have a ride t-too?”
Dawww, she can be pretty cute as well when she is not being rude bully. With that I used my two hands to gently pick her up and held her in front of me as I spun her around, it took only two full spins before I got her laughing as well. So I continued to spin her around for a few more turns before I returned her to the ground, though with a disappointed groan. But she ran back to her dad and said she was ready to go home.
Her dad walked over to me and wanted me to come closer to talk privately “So, uh, quick question. Do you babysit?” he asked just loud enough to where Diamond heard.
“DAD!” she said in embarrassment just before she stormed off and with him rushing after her. I could not help but laugh a little and was soon joined by Miss Cheerilee.
“Well Mr. Frost, I do believe you were a resounding success today and this will surely help quell any bad rumors about you” she said to me.
“I think so too and please, just Adrian. Mr. Frost sounds a bit too formal here” I told her.
She giggled a bit “Sure thing Adrian” she replied.
“Hey, Miss Cheerilee. I do want to apologize if I did accidentally cross any boundaries or anything with what I did to Diamond Tiara” I said to her.
But she simply shook her head no and smiled up at me “As a teacher, yes I wish that the situation could have been resolved in another matter. But as a mare, I think what you did was right for a.... ahem..spoiled brat...ahem such as her. That and I think what you did and said might of gotten through just a little bit. So thank you for, well, behaving in a civil manner about it” she said back to me.
“No problem, I had fun today meeting and playing with them all. Hopefully once I get a house and a job I can come back and play with them again, if that is alright with you of course” I explained.
“I would love it if you came back, though next time we shall have to schedule it so that way the afternoon lesson does not turn into recess again” she told me in a knowing manner. I nervously chuckled in response.
“Will do, will do. Well I better get going then, I will see you arou-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” I started screaming when I felt my body being easily lifted off the ground and began soaring through the air. “Ah come on! Now what?!” I yelled out. But in response was a chuckle I had not heard in a long while. Uh oh.
---------- 3 PM, Ponyville Schoolhouse ----------
“Oh dear, that certainly is not good. I should report to Princess Twilight about this. Poor Adrian, what a busy day he is having on his first day back” I said to myself as I watched Adrian being flown off by Discord. I better grab my umbrella on the way to the castle, just in case.
This is awesome please keep going. I love human x ditzy/derpy stories. There is not enough of them there can never be to many of them.
One of two things could happen. One Discord probably wants to see if our main man here is okay and wants too see if there's any bad blood between them. Or two he wanted too see if Adrian will flap his arms. Great chappy by the way. Worth the wait dude.

Don't worry, I plan on it! Just glad you like it!
5786394
And with Discord, it could probably be both or something else completely!
I never thought any author would have the guts to spank Diamond Tiara within the first chapter of meeting her. Props to you, author. Props. To. You.
5787678
-takes dramatic bow- You are welcome.
Who else but discord?
he might be not as young as he looks like, but i don´t think Spike fit to Rarity´s personality, i mean he is somehow always the idiot, and i guess that he looks like a Baby doesn´t help his image.
It think of Spikes love for Rarity, more like a little crush, but i enjoyed the idea of him and Octavia, there was a one-shot that i have read once, don´t know the name anymore. I guess i could live with Spike X Pinkie too, because she is a bit childish, but i can´t see Spike and Rarity together.
I bet that if the have pairings in the new season, that they probably have all the pairings i don´t like. I told you about Flash Sentry befor, i liked him once, but then after i listened to all he reasons why you should not like him, and after i thought a bit about him as a character, i thught they could have made him a better Character.
As long as they give him a real personality in the show, and not another Prince Charming, then i probably like it as well.
Don´t worry, i already talked with you about it i guess, and i knwo that you wanted to try, to give him a real personality and such things.
So....i try to exaggerate a little bit, but some of the guys like Shining armor, seems to be a cliché.
Pinkie X Cheese Sandwhich hmmmm......
I know you probably mean it just well, but while i hav enothing against it, it is like Pinkie Pie X Pinke Pie, Clone love.
I am not sure if it always works like that for me, but i guess a different personality would make it more interessting.
Rainbow Dash X Soarin, please try to make it look like Rainbow would not love him because he is a Wonderbolt, it aways looks like fanlove?/groupie love?
I don´t know the right know the right word, but i trust you to make it good, should you ever plan to add any other romances in this story, or a possible sequel, if the story as good as right now in the end.
I honestly just sat there a whole minute, and tried to process what you did there
exaclty, i would have to second that.
Good chapter, but i still hope you introduce Dinky in a funny way, i can already see how Derpy would be nervous about that. Maybe Derpy thinks, that Adrian would not like to have a kid already, or at least a Mare with a kid.
I forgo the other stuff i wanted to say, but i hope you don´t rush anything in their relationship, Cuddling and everything else should be okay already,i mean even if Derpy probably is a bit shy, she didn´t wasted much time to show her affection to him.
I hope i make some sense here, at the moment i am unsure if i write just nonsense, or if someone can understand what i have written good enough. I think i just don´t know if i manage to make my point clear.

I completely understand all your worries about all the shipping and what not. Once again I can't say much unless I want to give major spoilers, but I will say this: Not everything is set in stone. Right now it is all just talk and most of them were just saying they kinda liked them. So anything could happen. Heck, Spike might go for somepony else! But I have always liked Sparity shipping so I am kinda rolling on that
So for now all I ask all of you to do is trust me and wait patiently for any other relationship to move forward outside of Adrian and Derpy (since he is the main character and all).
I am so glad that the whole spanking scene went over well, I always thought she deserved it. Little brat.
Again, can't really say anything about Dinky or else SPOILER. And don't worry about it, I understand what you are trying to say.
5788223
But of course! Adrian simple can't have a normal day without a little chaos thrown in!
5789433
well guess i can make a compromise, but i am curious, what exactly do you like about that shipping?
Maybe i can see it like you if you can tell me something good about it, i want to give it a new chance, but i only see the bad aspects about that shipping. I don´t want to talk about sex, but i can´t deny that this is one reason, why i think it would be difficult, should Spike get really......big? later.
I don´t know if it really only works like that, and i never search for to much informations, but can Spike really only grwo with an own hoard?
I do, i really do, would it be another author, i would probably just left this story alone, and it can still be good, it just have to be written the right way. (I feel like i could describe better what i mean, but i guess you understand that i don´t mind it to much, since it is you.)
yeah i do that sometimes, but usually only if i write something.
About the shippings again, i guess i only have bad experience with them, because i have read some fanfictions i probably didn´t liked, and because of that, sometimes you start to dislike other things in it too.

Hmmmm, why I like Sparity. Well mostly it is based off of good FanFics and pictures on DeviantArt, cause if it was solely based on the show then I would hate it cause she is cold hearted to Spike in the show. But in stories and pictures, the two of them always seem to compliment each other nicely. Since he is patient with her and is always supportive and Rarity is very loving of him and, when she is being mature, helps balance Spike out due to him being the only 'good' dragon in all of Equestria. I dunno, it is kind of hard to explain but I just like the magic between the two of them. Though I can also easily see Spike with several other girls as well and I sometimes like them better (if the story is good).
As for his growth, show wise he most likely has two main growth cycles: 1. Growth by hoarding and 2. Natural Growth. We know that he can naturally grow in Dragon Journey cause the teen dragons there had a mountain of gems and stuff that was all theirs yet they did not grow to be monster spike size. So as with any creature Spike will eventually grow up bigger naturally, but due to dragons VERY, VERY long life spans it takes a while. Cause while he may be baby sized, he is not a baby mentally (all comic relief aside). Non-show wise it is mostly the same growth as well and still takes forever for him to fully grow which of course leads to most sad stories about him still growing while Rarity is on her deathbed next to their children who will most likely die first before Spike due to their heritage. But that is for another discussion
But like I said last time, not all the relationships i potentially said could come true. Just depends on how I want to shape the story and whatnot, right now I am currently looking through the list of characters that the Mane Six could marry and see who could fit. Might have to make some OC characters for them
5793027 Thank you, i still like to hear about different opinions. I guess only based on a few fanfictions, i like and dislike different things too.
I know this hasn´t to do anything with this story, but i have to say it somewhere, it really get´s on my nerves.
I have somehone on youtube (let´s player), that can´t understand a single thing i say, the way i really mean it.
What i mean is, i say something neutral, and he like to think i want to offend him somehow.
5793782
No problem, I do what I can.
Ah, that stinks. Yeah there are people out there who have a short fuse or think that everything said to them that is not "Your awesome" or "You are really good" automatically means you are criticizing them. That is why I really almost never post a Youtube comment cause everytime I look through them it is just a Hate War for every tiny little comment.
5815486 I'm already reading chapter 4 and I'm hooked! I'm pretty sure I've contracted cuteness overload already or a bad case of diabetes
5815572
Yeah, that tends to happen now and then when reading this story. Heck, I get it when I re-read it. And I don't mind
Yay! Finally caught up on all the chapters
I haves a suspicion and it involves that new book.
Methinks someone will be walking on clouds soon
Anyways.
This has been a fantastic read and I'm putting this story in my priority list for future updates!
Oh and... DERPY IS BEST PONEH!!!
I honestly can't think of a movie that uses this. I know it was used on the TV show Friends and the video game The Last of Us.
Oh god if spike does end up with rarity without some really good reason like idk random spell ages him metally and physically I'm afraid I won't be able to continue reading this fic because nothing in this fandom grinds my gears more then spike getting with rarity just beause it's "cute" the way he crushs on her or applejackXrarity, celestiaXdiscord and twilightX big mac pairings because dur opposites attract.
