The Battle for Love: Kindness

Chapter 2: Meeting a Stranger

Chapter 2

While driving towards the mall, Mike and Thomas began talking about the usual things they would talk about, how much they hated school and were glad it was summer, their plan for finding girlfriends, and my little pony, though that was last on the list.

After about fifteen minutes they got there, Mike parked his van, and they both walked to the mall.

On entrance they turned to see a table with two other people at it, they recognized them immediately.

"Lisa! Matthew! What's up guys?" Mike yelled from across the food court

"Oh hey Mike, hi Thomas" Lisa replied before taking a sip from her drink, "We've just been waiting for you sorry asses before we got going," she said with a sneer

"Sorry about that, Mike was busy doing who knows what," Thomas said while looking at Mike, "But, now that we're all here, let's get going"

Lisa and Matthew got up from their seats and they all started walking towards the back of the mall. They eventually made their way towards the movie theater when Matt said,

"So, what are we gonna go see? I for one want to go see the Avengers"

"Avengers sound good, anyone object," Thomas asked, "No? Avengers it is then."

Everyone went to the front, bought their tickets and snacks, and went to see their movie.

Back at Thomas' house, a light shown from under the bed in Thomas’ room, revealing a small silhouette of a girl.
After the light dies down, she pokes her head out from under the bed, looking to see if there is any danger. Realizing there is none, she scoots back under the bed awaiting the arrival of a certain someone,

Who just so happens to be on his way from the mall.

"See you, how about tomorrow?" Mike asked as he left Thomas at his home

"Sure, I'll bring over some games, that sound good?" Thomas replied

"Hell Yeah! See you tomorrow!" Mike said as he closed the window and drove off.

Thomas smiled and waved as Mike drove off. He turned around and opened the door. He walked in and noticed noises coming from upstairs, and a note on the table.

"Thomas,
Left with Anna to go see a musical, Jason will be home soon, there's food in the fridge.
Mom"

Thomas sighed with a smile. He was home alone until Jason came back, and even then Jason wouldn't interrupt him. He went upstairs, got his IPod, sat down on his bed, and started his My little Pony marathon. It would have been perfect; he had a soda from the fridge, a piece of pizza, and every episode of MLP. It would have been perfect, if he didn't hear a quiet sneeze under his bed.

After he heard it, his eyes widened a bit as he looked to the side of his bed. He slowly shifted his body there as he looked underneath. He strained his eyes to the darkness under his bed to see a curled up figure that shifted slightly. He jolted back as he reached for something to defend himself with.

"Okay, you have about five seconds before I raise hell on you! Get out from under my bed, stick your hands in the air, and slowly walk out!" Thomas yelled at the stranger under his bed. He heard shuffling under his bed before he heard them say,

"P...pl... please doesn’t hurt me, I...I'll leave, j...just, if...if you wouldn't mind, cl...close your eyes please?"

"Aaaand, why would I do that, huh?"

"B....be.....because, um, I...I'm not, wearing....anything."

His eyes went even wider, not only because the stranger said they weren't wearing any clothes, but also because their voice was quiet and soft. Not really the voice of someone who was trying to rob you.

"Uh, uhm....." the words wouldn't quite come out of his mouth at the astonishment that just occurred.
After about what seemed like five minutes, he finally spoke up,

"Uh...ok, here's how its gonna go down, I will toss you some clothes, you will get out, and I will then walk you out of here, okay?"

"O...okay"

He then got off his bed still holding whatever he had, which he now saw was a lamp. He slowly walked over to his closet with his front facing the bed. He quickly got some random clothes from the closet and threw them to the bed. He saw a pale, slightly skinny arm reach out slowly, and quickly snatch them from the floor.

He hears the stranger shuffle trying to get the clothes on. After another minute, the shuffling stops.

"O...okay, I'm ready" the stranger slowly made their way to the edge of the bed. Thomas simply stood still, waiting for something to happen. Something did happen, just not how he exactly expected it to. He saw the person had light pink hair, and light blue eyes, on top of that, it was a girl, a very, very beautiful girl, so thought Thomas.

“Uh…uhm,” once again, Thomas was flabbergasted, “You, you’re not here to rob me, are you?”

“N…no, I…I’m sorry for startling you, I didn’t mean to” she shuffled her and gave him a puppy dog face that made him blush. He turned away and thought,

“Wow, she’s adorable!”

"Uhm, wh... what are you doing here?"

"I...I was, um, looking for someone, but I can leave if... if you want"

"Why does she remind me of someone? I know I've seen her before, but where?" he thought as he turned to look back at her.

His phone rang in his pocket, he didn't take his eyes off of her as he pulled it out and looked to see who was calling, it was Mike.

"Hello?"

"Thomas, you need to get here, now, the craziest thing just popped up, like literally, popped"

"Yeah, um, I'm kind of in the middle of something right now, I have a, sort of, an intruder?"

He could hear talking in the background, "Mike, give me the phone"

"Thomas?"

"Yes? Who is this?"

"For now you will call me Tiffany, okay?"

"Okay, what the hell is going on?!" Thomas yelled in frustration, "First some random girl decides to streak in my room, and now I'm on the phone with some random girl that I am ninety percent certain Mike picked up off the street!"

"Thomas! Calm down and listen to me!

The sternness in her voice caused him to stop.

"Who is there with you?"

"Th...this random girl with pink hair, why?"

"Give her the phone"

"What, but...but I"

"Now Thomas"

Reluctantly, Thomas handed the phone to the girl before stepping back immediately after.

"H...hello?"

"Fluttershy?" Thomas thought his eyes couldn't get any wider.

"If what that girl on the phone said is correct, then that means... Flutt..." was all he thought before he passed out.

"Twilight?"

"What happened, I heard a thud. Is everything alright?"

"Um, yes, it's just that, this boy, he sort of, fainted."

"Mike, he fainted."

"Give me five minutes, we'll be over there shortly okay?"

"O...okay, bye." She put the phone down on the desk as she leaned over Thomas' body, "I do hope he's okay."

A/N sorry if this chapter seems a bit rushed, I was trying to do it while not taking to long with the dialogue. Anyway, thanks for reading, and I should have chapter 3 up sometime next week.

Mmm, you must not be from around here huh? And if you are, you do know that this stuff is generally looked down upon correct?

Okay story telling and grammar. So there aren't a whole lot of complaints on my end. But be wary for a flackstorm heading your way.

[Thomas R]

858046 it worries me when you say that stuff like this is looked down upon, explain please

[Mr Ignorable]

858560 Welp, people hate whiny human characters. There are plenty of them in the in this fandom as it is. But I'm not gonna judge your's because it seems to have half-way decent grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Usually when I find one of these things I pound it into the ground so hard with my hate frying pan that the author cries themselves to sleep (I think).

needless to say, I've got my eye on you.

[Thomas R]

Ahahahaha, aha, oh, that sir, was funny. To be honest I wasn't trying to make him sound like a bitch, just a bit emotional is all. He gets tougher as it goes on, but thank you for mentioning that. When you said that I thought you meant people hate stories like this, that had me worried. But thanks again.

I do like this story though, I can relate to Thomas in the sense I would probably faint in that situation

[Thomas R]

Ok, both of those were funny, and dont worry, its not self insert, Thomas is a character that I use in most of my stories, we look nothing alike. And yes, it gon git guuuuuuud

[Alpha Scorpii]

Mmh, this story has caught my attention I'm interested to see what happens next.

This is my first story with humanized ponies. I haven't read any before. Who knows, maybe I'll end up liking the genre.

[Ephedianroyalty]
