Chapter 1
What is there to say really? You don’t know how you got here, you don’t remember much about how things were before you got here. One day you just arrived, and you’ve been content ever since.
The only thing you actually remember before arriving in the colorful horse nation was that you felt lost, and pointless. The next sensation was falling. The next thing you knew was the sound of hospital machinery and being surrounded by abnormally colored ponies, there was a small dragon too thought that was the least of your concerns. Over the next few days you had grown acquainted with the eight compatriots, them visiting in pairs to cure you of your boredom as the doctors tested you. They were all charming in their own way. It was a surprise at first how they all got along swimmingly but, after getting to know them you started to believe them when they said they were the elements of harmony or friendship or whatever. Their bold declaration made you think that this could be some vision for you, maybe you were too unfriendly and they came to right your wrongs. They did not find it as funny as you did. They were much more serious about helping you than you thought. Twilight had many theories about how you ended up here, but without your memory there just wasn’t a way to know. So the girls decided that you would stay with them until they found an remembering spell powerful enough for you. It was just a matter of where you stayed.
Twilight believed that staying in her large castle would do some good.
“Having some extra help around to fill the silence, would do wonders to free my schedule up!” It sounded nice until rainbow dash interjected with how Twilight lived in a library. Book Sorting did not sound appealing to you. Sorry Spike and Starlight.
Applejack gave her opinion next. “Well there’s plenty o’ space at the farm, but uh...” she poked your thin arms, muscle (which might have been there in the past) was absent . “...you might fall flat on yer face tryin’ to do your first buck... ehehe..”
Rainbow dash was gonna offer something but as soon as she inhaled Twilight reminded her that her house was made of clouds. “...ah...right..” she blushed and sunk a foot towards the ground.
Rarity offered her Boutique, Pinkie Pie offered a sleepover at her apartment, but Fluttershy was surprisingly the one to win you over, the animal helper much more confident with a unique species rather than her own kin. She emphasized that her house was well prepared for all animals, including diets. Which, before that moment, no one had thought to ask. Obviously Fluttershy was the best option. Though her house was a bit cramped and noisy from the zoo that lived there you didn’t really complain. You were dead set that the bunny who she cared for would have hurt you if you did. It was a good starting house.
After a couple months, and many many failed rememory spells (these ponies are really good at naming things huh?) you started to realize that you’ll be here for a while. Those feelings of being lost and without purpose returned, so you sought a job. Finding one at rarity’s boutique, your hands being quite valuable for operating sowing machines. Though it was stressful and you screwed up MANY dresses at first, your hand-eye coordination improved over time and before long sowing and such were second nature to you. Your time spent with Fluttershy and Rarity brought you closer to the mane six until you were deemed an irreplaceable part. Life was amazing. You baked with Pinkie Pie and Applejack, worked out with Rainbow Dash, had tea with Discord and Fluttershy, watched Twilight and Starlight do magic, gossiped at work with Rarity, nerded out with Spike and Big Mac, you even went on an adventure that one time! Big balls, met royalty, everyday was a blast. Eventually you got your own one story house, tired of bumming off of fluttershy. Through it all, you were content.
Well maybe not content. Not anymore at least.
Over time those same feelings of being lost and without purpose came back. Even though they had made you feel like you belonged (still do) there was something missing from your life, a little emptiness that gnawed at your soul.
You want to be loved.
To be needed.
To have a special someone.
Everyday it gnaws at you, growing louder and louder. Last night it was unbearable, the isolation from your species’ home planet amplified it. You needed a sleep potion. Too afraid to tell Twilight about your weakness, you had to knock at Zecora’s door for an extra powerful one. You told her that nightmares had kept waking you up and she fell for it. She concocted something that she rhymes would make you sleep through anything. That’s all you needed to hear. As soon as you got home you had chugged the potion. You passed out immediately, and dreamt of falling.
- [present day]
Seconds after you began to fall the knocking starts. Brief subtle knocks at first, but they grow with intensity every couple seconds. You still pay the sounds no heed, that is, until the sound of your door being broken in half wakes you from your peaceful slumber, as your heart jumps out of your chest.
You are not prepared for whatever just bust into your house but you leap out of bed and grab the first long weapon you can find. Unfortunately it’s a coat hanger from your closet. which you shakingly raise to your bedroom door as the sounds of the intruder get closer and closer. The intruder shouts something as it pushes the door open revealing their dastardly magenta eyes and not covered blue fur and long rainbow hair that draped over their...
Yknow this intruder really doesn’t know the first thing to breaking into someone’s house. They didn’t even bother to put on a mask!!!
Oh, wait that’s rainbow.
“Uhh.. anon..?” Her scratchy voice fills your ears.. you do not know how you didn’t register her voice when she shouted. “Why are you holding...a coat hanger...like that?”
“Isn’t it obvious?” You said, chest heaving, !mind running trying to think of something witty to say. “I uh...” You’re not a quick thinker, especially when you’re barely awake.
Rainbow cut you short, her annoyed demeanor telling you she was not up for jokes, “I don’t want to know. You overslept.”
She is not normally this serious. Her eyes were darting around never connecting with yours. Only occasionally glancing in your direction.
As your senses shook off your half-awake demeanor, you begin to notice she wasn’t acting normally. She's fidgety, serious, blushing heavily, not looking at your eyes or even your face. Her eyes trailed down towards your...
Ah right, you just woke up. The Oakwood stands tall.
“I...uh...yes. I did.” You say, your right leg reaching across your other leg while your hips slowly rotate in the same direction.
“You don’t...normally oversleep.” She’s right. Normally you’re the one waking her up from sleeping too long. “W-uh the girls were kinda worried ehehe... Not me though. I figured you were okay.”
You place a hand on the wall and pretend to be stretching your hip. You’re confident this looks normal to a pony who knows nothing of human anatomy and how they stretch. “Of course you did. That’s why you knocked down my door.”
“I..uh... I just wanted.. to practice... one of the stunts... from my daring doo novel! Yeah, that’s it! Cuz It might help with the new wonderbolt show..!” Her eyes connect with yours as she bashfully smiles hoping to convince you, the magenta irises were practically sparkling as the sunlight bathed against her light fur. Still blushing from the draped vertical lighthouse sighting. Speaking of which, you brought yourself back to a regular position since your blood was flowing back into your brain instead of the inflatable me..this is a TV-Y7 universe, you can’t finish that thought.
“Still paying for it.” She looked at your directly now her blush fading, replacing it is a mix of shock, dread, and frustration.
“Whuh!.. T-that’s not the point! We’re missing the picnic!!”
“The picnic?” It hit you like a truck. Today was the weekly get-together, you never missed one or have been late for one! How are you going to explain this?! “Oh god, the picnic..”
Your jaw drops as your brain rackS together an excuse.
“Yeah! AJ brought the spare leftovers of cider season!! We have to go!!!” Dash flies behind you in a floating blur and pushes her face and hooves up against your nightshirt. She moves you forward as you push back.
“Wait!!!” You yelped. “My Pants!!!”
In a second, she stops pushing you and backs off. Almost making you fall.
“Mybad.” She flies past you, her blush present. Remembering your lack of pants. Her words as quick and antsy as her “Imjustgonnawaitforyououtsidesorry!”
And she was gone.
Lord have mercy. No time for making decisions you’re just gonna wear the first thing you see. Takes you about 2 minutes to come out in red shorts and a light blue shirt. You’re gonna get an earful from rarity but you’re already gonna get enough of that. You’ll think of an excuse on the way. You open your mouth to say something but she gets there first.
“Finally. Come on!” Rainbow says before bursting off leaving you in the dust.
Or the dust in you. You cough and spit the air dirt from your mouth. You let out a sigh before you start a light jog to catch up.
It’s hard to not think about it when you’re alone. It was easy to ignore it at first but now you think about it with every sight of two lovers together. Lyra and Bonbon. Vinyl and Octavia, The cakes, who were basically out all the damn time. Your jog slows to a walk and then a halt as you look up at the sky and frown. The clouds are clear today, only the bright blue sky and the sun fills your vision.
Man, this thing really wouldn’t leave you alone huh.
—————————
Rainbow dash lands at the edge of the picnic blanket, shaking off the dust that gathered on her tail.
“Rainbow...? Did you find him?”
Rainbow tore her gaze from her tail and stared at the voice that asked her. “Huh?.”
All the girls had gathered around the blanket peering at rainbow with curiosity and worry.
“Ah-non, rainbow. Is everythin alrite?” AJ trots up to Dash’s face with the utmost seriousness.
“Oh! Yeah!! Uh... he’s fine. He’s on his way.” Rainbow shakes her head. She’s not thinking straight. Well, she is thinking straight she’s just not focused on the current situation.
“You left him? Darling that hardly seems appropriate given the current predicament.” Rarity steps up beside Applejack “He’s seldom late, did he seem sick?”
“Maybe we should have all gone...” Twilight sighs.
“Wh- I-“ Rainbow sputters. Her thoughts are a mess right now. She has never seen anon’s bedroom or an indecent anon in general. Or the...morning thing. Anon normally doesn’t do that!!
“Rainbow.... are you okay? You don’t seem so...” Fluttershy looks at rainbow closely.
“FINE!! I’m fine!! I’m just dizzy from...f..flying..?” Rainbow tries to excuse herself but meets only the deadpan faces of some of her friends.
“I Know!!!” The unaffected face of Pinkie pops up from the flock of her friends “We should totally meet him there and surprise him! It can be like a mini traveling surprise picnic party! Weeeeeeeee!!!” She disappeared, shrinking into the same flock. Somehow.
“Pinkies right.” Twilight shook her head “Cmon girls let’s go get him.”
Feeling embarrassed by her absent mind rainbow speaks up. “NOITSOKAYIGOTIT!!”
She’s off.
Twilight once again sighs. “I knew it was a bad idea for dash to go into his house of all people.”
“Come now darling, at least we know he’s okay.” Rarity comforts Twilight with an affectionate nuzzle. Who agreed with a slight nod.
“Yeah it could be worse! He could have disappeared after going into the Everfree Forest last night!” Pinkie adds, suddenly by her friend fluttershy who was filled with surprise by her friend.
The others react with a worried look. “The everfree?” They all said in unison.
————————-
You had stumbled off thinking to yourself quietly. You just chose a direction and walked until you found yourself at the edge of a lake. Staring at the reflection.
Okay so if they can think and speak and are very intelligent it’s okay right.... no wait dolphins can do that. You can’t fuck a dolphin. Yea but dolphins are evil bastards and these guys aren’t so. Well griffons are kinda asshole. But these are not griffons. They’re ponies. What makes them different from dolphins other than their nice...ness? Well they build houses. Elephants can build things too and you can’t fuck elephants. Not like you want to fuck elephants or dolphins. Well ponies have farms, and trains. They went through both the agricultural revolution and the industrial revolution. And elephants and dolphins didn’t do that. So it’s okay??? Right? Your ancestors wouldn’t look down on you for that. You think.
In the middle of your deep thought you feel a breeze rush into you, which snaps you out of your potential pony-dating-justifying thoughts.
“Anon! Where’d you get off to?” You turn to see Dash again, huffing. She had looked everywhere for you it seems like. “You were supposed to be right behind me! Everyone thought I ditched you, that is so lame a-“
“Dash, would you go out me?”
