Chapter 2
"Mmph."
Fluttershy looked up from her book, towards her guest, who was stirring in her bed. The pegasus slowly flew over to the bed just as the monkey like creature (Fluttershy couldn't think of a better description or a name at the moment) opened her eyes.
Lauren gasped upon seeing the pegasus, leaning back against the bed-frame and accidentally hit her head in the process.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow."
"Oh dear." Fluttershy got a little closer and gently took Lauren's head into her fore-hooves. The woman froze up for a second, until the pony started stroking her head and spoke to Lauren in the ever gentle voice.
"There, there. Everything is going to be alright."
Despite not being able to understand a word, Lauren relaxed in the grip of the Element of Kindness. In the back of her mind, Lauren Faust kind of knew what the pegasus was saying. Slowly she herself wrapped her arms around the little pony. Her fur was really soft and cuddly. Fluttershy didn't seem to mind Lauren snuggling her face closer into the pegasus' shoulder.
Eventually, Lauren's heart rate was back down to a reasonable level, she (begrudgingly) broke the hug.
"Well...that happened. I guess?"
Fluttershy looked a little confused, until she remembered what happened 20 minutes earlier. Obviously the two spoke totally different languages. Maybe that was the reason nopony could recognize her species so far. Maybe she was from very far away. Very, very, far away.
Smiling reassuringly, Fluttershy put a hoof on the woman's shoulder and then pointed towards the door with her other hoof. Lauren nodded, understanding what the little pony was trying to say. She slowly made her way forward, looking if the pegasus pony would follow her.
Downstairs, Lauren had yet to see any more animals. It seemed like they were all outside the cottage. Fluttershy had led Lauren to the kitchen and motioned the woman to stay, until the pegasus was back. Having nothing better to do, Lauren complied and was now waiting. In all actuality, she was glad she had the time for herself and let the situation settle inside her mind. Granted that almost led to a panic attack, but the woman managed to stay calm or as calm as one could possibly be, waking up in their own imaginary world.
Maybe I have gone insane and am spending my time at a mental asylum right now? Don't be ridiculous Lauren. Wait, that's actually- arrgh, snap out of it, woman! This is too real to be a dream or anything else! Somehow you're here. In Equestria. Obviously you need to find a way back, but first thing you need to do is show the ponies that they can trust you.
The sound of the door opening brought the woman out of her train of thought. Fluttershy came in, carrying a basket full of fresh vegetables with her mouth. She placed the basket on the table and quickly moved to one of the cabinets opening the door. The pegasus tried to carry out a huge pot, but had obviously troubles. Lauren decided to help out, her hands actually being able to grab the handles and then put the pot on the stove.
"Oh, thank you."
Fluttershy then proceeded to take out measuring cup and filled it with water. Then she put the water into the pot. And again. And again.
Lauren resisted the urge to sigh. Of course the sink was way too small for the pot to fit in, so she had to wait patiently until the Element of Kindness was done. The next step was obviously cutting the vegetables. The guest had already figured out that her host wanted to cook something and she decided not to just stand on the sidelines. Looking around, Lauren found a couple of breadboards in various sizes. Picking one out, she placed it on the table. Next she took a few carrots out of the basket and placed them on the breadboard.
"Umm, what are you doing? If you don't mind asking, that is."
The woman turned towards the pony once again, having no idea what she might have said. Taking a guess, Lauren picked up a carrot and made the motion to peel it.
"Oh! You want to help me? That is really not necessary. she smiled and motioned Lauren to take a seat again. The pegasus even flew up and rearranged the chair like a butler waiting for his master to take a seat.
The red headed woman couldn't help, but smile in return, which didn't mean that she wasn't determined to help anymore. She put a hand on Fluttershy's leg, to which the mare gasped and pulled back. The woman gave the pegasus the kindest smile she could muster, without "dawing" at the pegasus and repeated the motion of peeling the carrots.
"Oh no, I couldn't possibly ask you to..."
Lauren rolled her eyes. "Please? I just want to be useful and not eat your food for free."
Maybe Fluttershy took a guess on what Lauren said or maybe she just gave up, because she didn't want to start a fight. The pegasus flew towards a drawer, opened it and picked out the tool Lauren had been asking for with her mouth. The woman was pleasantly surprised not to find any spit on it, but it only made sense. Otherwise earth ponies and pegasi would soak books wet.
While Fluttershy filled the pot with water, Lauren started peeling the carrots. Afterwards she washed them quickly in the sink, before she started looking for a knife to cut them into pieces. The element of kindness in the meantime, turned on the stove and picked out some salt and pepper for later.
Thanks to her skillful hands, Lauren was quickly done with cutting the carrots, so fast indeed that it surprised Fluttershy. The mare had been actually wanting to start herself with cutting the paprika. Her guest in the meantime didn't miss a beat and started peeling the onions. The pegasus mare did her best to keep up with the human woman, though she just wasn't as fast as Lauren. Still, cutting the onions slowed the woman down a little, since her eyes became teary during that time.
It was a weird process to say the least. The woman didn't realize immediately that not everything was going into the soup, although she did wonder about the tomatoes and the radish. Fluttershy interrupted the woman, when she was about to start cutting everything. Only later Lauren would find out that her host intended to make salad too. Not something she would eat with soup, but other countries other traditions, right?
Besides, after a while it became fun. Fluttershy would gesture towards something Lauren could either cut or put into the pot. Or when something shouldn't get in just yet, the pegasus would gently put a hoof on her guest's shoulder and shake her head. From time to time some of the animals would come into the kitchen and watch the two. A few even allowed Lauren to pet them, but most of them either fled to Fluttershy or out of the room.
Almost no words were exchanged the entire time, mostly because they didn't even understood each other. It also was kinda weird hearing Andrea's voice, yet not understanding a thing. Heck, it was even weirder to actually cook with Fluttershy.
"Cooking with Fluttershy!" Sounds like a good five minute animation. Haha, with Discord as the sous-chef. Mmm, fried bunny.
It had to be the best vegetable soup Lauren had ever eaten. She wasn't sure if maybe she really was just in a drunk dream or if everything in Equestria just overall tasted better. If it was the latter, she could not wait to visit Sugercube Corner.
Fluttershy on her part seemed to be a lot more open, than Lauren ever imagined. Maybe it was because she wasn't a pony or more likely it was because the pegasus took care of the woman and helped her recover. That reminded her of one of those stories the fanbase just loved to write. If she was honest, she avoided most of them, because normally her inner author just cringed at the bad grammar. One thing Tara introduced her to was about (yet another) human in Equestria, who could actually speak to the ponies. Since he was the only human in Equestria, Fluttershy thought he was an endangered species and needed to be locked away in a "natural habitat". It had been fun to read, but the thought in itself was disturbing.
Instead, the woman tried to focus on the soup, only to find out that she was finished. Chuckling at her seemingly black hole in her stomach, she was about to fill her plate again, when there were three knocks at the door.
"Oh my. I wonder who this could be. I'll be right back."
Fluttershy quickly trotted to the front door of the cottage. Curiously Lauren followed the pegasus, wondering who it could be that was visiting the shy little pony. She immediately thought of Rainbow Dash, since the two were childhood or rather fillyhood friends. Next up came Rarity, maybe asking the pegasus to try out a dress or go to the spa.
"Oh. Hi Twilight."
"Hi Fluttershy. I got the book you wanted to lend out."
"Thank you, but that wasn't really necessary."
"Don't worry, it fit right into my schedule. I wanted to visit you for a long time anyway. It's not inconvenient with you is it?"
Twilight came to visit? Oh I wish I could understand them. Hmm, I wonder how Twilight will react to me? Hopefully not like she reacted to her new body in the first movie. Thank you Hasbro for ruining a chance for a great first movie.
"Oh no, never. There's actually some....one I want to introduce you to.
"You have a guest?" Twilight asked a little surprised.
As if she had planned it, just at that moment Lauren came out of the kitchen and into the living room.
Did the first movie already happened? Well, time to find out where I am in the timeline.

Twilight: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh my, that grammar...
Poop is about to hit the fan
See even Faust thinks Angel is evil.
He's not evil he's just thinks the rest of the world is full of Horseshit.
It is full of horseshit sugercube this is Equestria after all.
Well pony shit to be exact.
The more you know.
Nice chapter, good work.
Hmmm...
All of your comments get a like, just because I like this story so far.
That is not proper English, mister
6715315 Me not English^^
Did you forget you have editors?
This needs work, I wish you had run it by me first.
6715816 Hehe, sorry. I was so busy these past days, I just couldn't wait to get back on the keyboard.
Nice chapter, I wonder what Twilight's reaction will be
Clearly she's never been to Souper Salad.
You should really just pick one color for folks speaking Equestrian, one for Faust speaking English, and just let the narration take care of letting us know who is speaking. Trust me, trying to juggle all the different colors for each pony is going to bite you with some big errors at some point.
Other than that, I like where this seems to be going.
While you wait for the Next Chapter of "I Am God...... Apparently" I've been waiting for more nearly three years for Journey to the Real World's next update which would most likely be never cause i think the story got too chaotic with it's last chapter
6718811 That story was partially an inspiration for I am God, you know?
6719187 Figures
Please sir, may I have some more?
Can't wait for the next chapter
Great chapter, excited for the next one.
Will there be an update soon? Loving the story!
6997725 I conjure
So cool...
By the power invested in me, myself and I, (since this story hasn't been updated for over six months) I declare this story to be dead.
May it rest in peace.
Is there another chapter in sight?
7604584 I wanted to write for a long time, but I keep getting stuck!
7604594 Sad
Well, perhaps someday you'll return to writing)
Also, use command /stuck to get unstuck
i understand hiatusing here; deciding the point in the timeline AND the canonicity of EQG is a huge stress point for an inspiration-based story.
i believe you are an inspiration based writer and that you have not decided the ending of your stories when you start writing. am i correct?
Hey if you need someone to bounce ideas off so we can get you unstuck and get this fic back on track PM me I would love to help. Ps this story is quite good and I would like to see it continued
One thing Tara introduced her to was about (yet another) human in Equestria, who could actually speak to the ponies. Since he was the only human in Equestria, Fluttershy thought he was an endangered species and needed to be locked away in a "natural habitat can i get a link
1. The show is in English... Original.
2. The first movie was great :/ unless you mean Eg in which case I won't complain
First thought leaving? Not hyped?
Sure. Which Creator would like to explore his creation given the chance! Let alone such a cute one.
This seems unreasonable to me.
And now... I wait (this is going to be a very long wait)
Lies 🖕
It’s still on going right?
