Normal is Relative.

6. Creepy Ponies

You have no idea where you two were going. Then again, how could
you? You haven't spent a full day in this town, one. Two, you're a
human. You're rarely going to be out of the house in the first place.

Such is the life of a human...

This thought saddens you, as the night sky intrigued you. Its
beauty enticing you. All it was was just glowing specs within darkness
that had a giant, round hole in the middle of it.

Yet you just wanted to see it again.

The day sky wasn't as inviting. Aside from the light blue and some
clouds, there was nothing 'going on' to make you feel... You don't
know, at peace with it. There's a giant round fireball that if you
look at it for too long it will blind you, for Celestia's sake!

Not very inviting.

Eventually, you and Rarity make it to what looked like a park. You
obviously never saw one before, being trapped in a cage for the better
part of your life. But you, not being as ignorant as ponies think,
have been taught about these, as well as proper etiquette here. Granted,
there were no actual pictures, but they do give vivid details in
those books.

You and Rarity sit down on a bench as she hands you the cooked
fish. Her smile is shaky as she does so. She, clearly, hates the idea
of a creature eating meat. But, she seems like they type of pony not
to judge someone (pony) on what they eat (or look like, for that
matter.). Then again, everyone (pony) judges others. It's just comes
to us instinctively. Whether or not, you judge others at first site.

And you've faced quite a bit if that throughout your life.

But let us trail away from that thought. We've gone off track a
bit already, haven't we?

You eat your fish (which tasted superb) in relative peace. Ponies
walked by and threw disgusted glares at both of you, but you shrugged
it off. Rarity, on the other hand, seemed very distraught at the
attention. You didn't say anything, though. As you've been taught, 'keep
it closed or a hoof to the nose.'

Yes, that was the 'motto' they used.

Hey, it worked, didn't it?

Once you finished the rest of the fish, Rarity got up as did you,
and began walking. You don't mind walking. It's fun. So you follow.
Again, not like you had much of a choice.

After a short(ish) walk, you found yourself with a watering mouth.
You stood there, next to Rarity, looking up at a giant, over sized
gingerbread house with icing decorated all around it and candy spread
about. You were tempted to clime up on the roof and take one of those
over sized drops of candy, but decided against it s the consequences
would be huge.

But was it worth it? I mean, it IS over sized candy...

Rarity and you walked through the doors to be met with interior
that just made your mouth gape. Candy, candy everywhere. How was
Rarity so calm here? Delicious candy!

The aroma was that of a bakery (considering it is one) and didn't
help you in controlling yourself. Luckily, you pulled through.

You and Rarity were in the store for less then 15 seconds before a
pink furred, pink maned mare defied all laws of physics and magically
appeared directly in front of you two, too close for comfort. Her mane
was puffy, and she smelt of too many pastries (not like you were
smelling or anything! That's just weird! Though she did smell good...)
When she spoke, it sounded like an overactive 12 year old. Maybe she
had one to many pastries...

"Hey Rarity! Oh, oh! Is this the hue- man you got for Twilight?
He's so caaauuuute! What's his name? Oh, why am I asking you? Hello,
what your name? Mines Pinkie Pie!" This... Mare gasped. "I have to
finish setting up the party!" and with that, she disappeared.

Literally. Disappeared in a puff of dust.

She's not even a unicorn...

"Well, I got what I needed," Rarity said with a sigh. "Just had to
make sure she was getting the party set."

You nodded and (hesitantly) walked put of the bakery behind
Rarity. She looked up in the sky and gasped. "It's getting late!
Pinkie better have that party finished soon..."

You looked up and saw the sun about halfway through it's journey to
the other side of the horizon. It didn't seem too late. In fact, it
seemed early. Way early. Not even noon. "Uh, Rarity? Is it even past
noon yet?" you ask. "It doesn't seem late..."

"The party is at noon!" she answered.

Wait, what?

Confused, but not wanting to press the issue, you follow her, who
is now at a steady trot. You jog to keep up, wondering where you're
going know.

For some reason, this day feels... Rushed. Like whatever decides
the future to you is trying to hurry things up and in the process
making things not make sense...

Hmm...

Pondering and this thought, you forgot (or rather, didn't realize)
you were jogging behind Rarity, who had turned. You, aimlessly,
continued walking forward...

Right into a pony...

A mare to be exact. One who's a unicorn with a mint(ish) blue fur
and a mane that's close to the same,except some white within it. Her
cutie mark was a stringed instrument of sorts.

You and the mare fell over right into the dirt. "Hey, watch were
you're going!" she said without looking at you. She got up, still not
seeing it was a human (as this could warrant a punishment to you) and
dusted herself off. You try to sneak away, but you would have no such
luck. "What the?" she said as she finally saw you. "A human! Oh my
gosh you are so cute!" she squeed.

And you sat there, dumbfounded. She... Wasn't mad. At all, it
seemed. In fact, she was playing with your hands, oddly. This was a
bit uncomfortable for you...

You wouldn't dare say a word and delt with this until Rarity came
and dragged you away.

Literally, dragged. That crazy pony wouldn't let you go. Oh, and
you found out her name was Lyra.

So Rarity, who stopped trotting and you, who is know paying
attention, walked on, back to her boutique.

This town is freaking you out, so far. Yes, it's in a good way...
kind of. You seem to be welcomed here. Anywhere else, you'd have a
horrible punishment for running into that weird pony.

And speaking of weird ponies, that pink one freaked you out. A
lot. She seemed nice, but crazy all the same.

Like, really crazy.

She had that look in her eyes that just screamed crazy.

'Note to self, stay away from the pink one.'

But town aside and... Weird, freaky ponies... this felt like a
life deserved for no human. It was like you're an actual pony (Which
would be amazing).

But, you knew you couldn't become a pony. The only pony that can
do that is Celestia! Changing a species into another is no easy task.
Only extremely high powered unicorns can do it. Maybe not even them! It
may just be Alicorns.

But hey, what do you know? You maybe be 100% wrong, and the spell
is elementary to unicorns. What if what everything you were told was
a lie?

Wouldn't really be surprising, you admit. You are a lowly human,
again. You would not be impressed.

But snap out of these thoughts! Follow the white and purple pony!

Author's Note:

So yea. Who knew getting hit by cars hurt?
I sure as hell didn't! Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha...
But yea, it fucking hurts...
