Romance will come later on I do plan to use it the best I can.
It was then that my life changed.After six years dealing with all the abuse from my parents, the beatings and the scoldings, what I feared most was going to happen in a few moments.
Cowering against the wall shifting to the corner of the living room, as I watched with eyes full of fear, they were going to end their troubles, they were going to end me.I was moving with one arm trying to get away being kept in a upright position by the solid wall behind me as I was slowly pushing myself along it towards the window in the corner."No!Don't kill me!Anything just don't kill me."I pleaded in vain as my father slowly walked towards me a freshly sharpened bread knife in his hand as my mother was at his side carrying a wooden baseball bat.They both hated ever giving me life and in their eyes i could see their intentions of taking it back.I started again tears flowing down my face soaking my shirt thoroughly.
"I will do anything you want!Anything!"
"Then sit still and let us correct our mistake."my father said cruelly holding up the knife in a stabbing position as he made his way to me.My mother followed suit raising the bat as they descended upon me while I was moving my way up to the window.
"It's time to die."my mother stated, as they were no closer than eight feet from my closest foot.
I closed my eyes hoping death would be quick quiet and painless.I still knew they were going to enjoy watching me suffer as they did since the day I was born through the nine years and up to now.
I thought my life was done before it was even started but I felt the floor below me disappear and I opened my eyes seeing a blinding white, purple, and yellow streaked tunnel that I was falling down into.I smiled knowing I had been saved.I looked up to see nothing but the tunnel.My worries of my parents following me were extinguished.
I landed in something cold and soft that crunched upon my weight.Soon after I realized it was snow the adrenaline left me and all that remained was pain.I opened my mouth and screamed as the suffering of having one arm broken with legs to match and many bones fractured slammed upon me.I blacked out seeing snow come down from the sky.
When I awoke, I was still surrounded by the white clouds that had saved me a few more hours of precious life.I decided to starts wriggling using my arm, ignoring the pain.I was making slow progress and that gave me time to think.I knew this was it.The final moments of my life.I was glad I wouldn't suffer a painful death from my parents.Before I was overtook by the cold wind that whispered "death" all around me I caught a glimpse of a white figure with color filled hair and some appendages that stuck out.
I awoke again this time to a beeping sound and the same figure standing over me.Vision was still nothing to rely to heavily on as everything was a blur.I had felt heat in the room along with some clothing that was tight but not constricting which covered almost all of my body.I began to plead still thinking of the death that called out to me.
"Please...don't k-kill me."I started before breathing heavy and slow once more and began again,"don't...gi-give me to them.."
As the white figure stood over me I heard a soothing voice come from somewhere near it.So I assumed the figure was speaking.
"Do not fret, I will bring no harm upon you."
Soon after I lost myself to the black void known as unconsciousness.
I awoke again my vision back fully.I started to speak.
"Hello, i-is anyone here?"
Silence followed only to be broken by the same voice that sounded as if it were bringing protection.
"Yes, I am here.I see you have finally awoke once more."I heard the loud clapping noises that were too many to be feet but more rather...hooves if I had to guess.
"Please don't kill me or send me back!I don't want to die."Tears were in the corners of my eyes threatening to spill over as I started sniffling.
"I have no intention of harming you, little one."I could see the figure the spoke in such a soothe filled voice.She is all white and apparently four legs and with a horn protruding out of her head and two wings stretched out to a large span with flowing hair full of vibrant pink, green, and orange.
I was still cowering shaking slightly with eyes full of fear as she went to place a...hoof on me.I tried to squirm away but I couldn't due to being with all of my injuries and with the bandages over me.
"You don't need to worry any longer.I will keep you safe."She said in that same understanding voice as she put a hoof on the side of my face, which wasn't covered in bandages.
I calmed and was soothed by her gentle touch.I was starting to trust her.While my mind debated that, it went on leaving that thought behind.I thought of many questions and started to ask them being the curious young child I was.
"W-where am I?Are my parents here?"I asked fear returning into me as I remembered what had happened earlier.
She started up speaking again after giving my cheek a gentle rub before pulling her hoof back."You are in Equestia.Your parents are far from here as this is a different world."
I was taken back by her words before I continued speaking."How did I-I get here?Who are you?"My mind started to relax once I saw I could trust her.
"I crossed you over into this world in effort to save you.I had found you unconscious in the whitetail woods with snow all over you.I took you to my bedroom in Canterlot, one of the cities here, to ensure your safety,"I remained calm as she said this and she began again,"I am the ruler of Equestria, Princess Celestia."
I looked around the room and noticed I was in a large bedroom, laying on the side of some huge bed that would be bigger than my own bedroom.
I spoke once more."Thank you for saving me from my parents," I started turning my field of vision back looking to her to notice a smile sprouted on her face,"they were about to...to."the tears had returned once more and flowed down my face as Celestia interrupted.
"I know all too well of what horrible people they were,"she sat on the bed and scooted next to me from the other side folding her hooves in as she looked over at me,"it is why I decided to intervene and bring you into Equestria.So you can start a new life, a better one.I was watching your world and learned from you,"she said and a long silence followed after until she asked me a question,"What is your name and what are you?"
I willingly responded finding I could trust Celestia,"My..my name is Amos, and I am a human."I started to crack a smile at her.
"What an interesting name.But , you aren't from here so I shouldn't be surprised."
I started to feel exhausted realizing I never got any real sleep.I closed my eyes the smile slowly slipping as I fell asleep.
When I awoke I noticed Celestia was no longer in the room and I was alone as the sun shone brightly through the curtains of the balcony rather than earlier it being night.I started to speak to myself.
"For once...I didn't have a bad dream."I smiled but it soon disappeared as the door opened and I saw Celestia walk in but I heard many other sounds of hooves clattering on the floor even as she walked around and sat on the bed next to me just as she had last night.Fear set into my mind as my heart slowly sped up thumping as I looked away from Celestia and toward the sounds of the other hoof-steps.I saw six small horses which I assumed were ponies.I quickly looked back to Celestia worry obviously in my eyes.She smiled that calming smile and some of the weariness fled but it was still there.The hoof-steps were all around me as they stopped and I looked to my left which a lavender pony was at with purple hair..er...mane and a pink strip in it with a horn standing out from it.The unicorn as they call it was near my face.I looked down further knowing there were many more eyes set on me.An orange pony without any extra appendages was standing next to the purple unicorn with what I assumed was a cowboy hat and a blonde mane tied and a ponytail with the string being at the end.Further down was a pink pony with puffs of hair over hanging her face and being shaped as cotton candy which was a vibrant pink.She wore a smile and was obviously excited.After her was a cyan pony with wings folded up and a colorful rainbow mane.She looked cautious and a little intimidated as she stared down at me.I lifted my head up slightly so I wouldn't be in any more pain than I already am.I saw another unicorn having a pure white coat and a horn to match with a purple mane that curled and obviously looked like a good amount of time was spent on stylizing it.Next to the white unicorn was another pegasus, as I recalled who had long pink hair falling down her face covering most of it and a butter yellow coat.
Celestia was first to speak when she noticed I was done inspecting them.
"Amos, these are my closest pupils.You can trust them."My heart rested as her words came to me in a motherly tone but there was just still a small amount of weariness in me.
The orange one was first to speak after Celestia nodded to them, signalling to introduce themselves to me.
"Howdy there!"she spoke loudly at first then lowered her voice a little,"Mah name is Applejack, pleased ta meet cha'."she then smiled at me.
Not long after the pink pony next to her started to speak in a hyper voice as she got close to me."HI!I'm Pinkie Pie but, just call me Pinkie.I am always so excited to meet someone new.Ooh, we need to throw a party for you!I can see it already.We are going to be the best of friends!"she said in all one breath as she was pulled away by Applejack.
"Sorry, Pinkie always gets excited when she meets someone new."Applejack said laughing a fake laugh for a second after.
The lavender unicorn spoke next."Hi, my name is Twilight Sparkle but, just call me Twilight,"she had spoken calmly and continued,"I am Princess Celestia's personal student."I nodded and right after she had spoke the cyan pegasus began.
"I'm Rainbow Dash.Best flier in all of Equestria!"she boasted.I thought over and had come to a conclusion that she didn't use manners most of the time and thought of what she would be like.Before I came to some summary the white unicorn spoke up.
"Hello, I am Rarity.Best designer in Ponyville,"she said elegantly.Ponyville?I thought it must be some sort of city or town,"We simply must get you some proper clothes!You will be needing them after all!"she ended sounding concerned over my apparel than my health.The last of them, the yellow pegasus spoke.
"H-hi, I'm Fluttershy..,"her voice trailed off and I gave a confused look and she started again"I'm Fl-Fluttershy"she said barely loud enough I could hear her.
I looked over at Celestia and she smiled before nodding telling me to introduce myself.
Celestia began talking to me specifically but loud enough so all could hear,"I already told them how you got hear, who you are, and what you are."
I yawned, my body telling me I needed sleep to continue healing as keeping my eyes open was a struggle.Celestia began speaking once more,"You all should probably go now and let him rest knowing what he has been through."The six ponies left through the room as Celestia got up standing and coming closer to me on the other side.I said to her soon after.
"After I sleep some more could i get something to eat and drink...I haven't eaten or drank in three days,"Celestia nodded smiling and she turned around to leave before I grabbed her shoulder and began speaking once more,"No, don't leave.I don't want to be lonely." She turned back towards me away from the door with the same caring smile.I wrapped my arm around her neck before pulling her closer into a half hug.She was shocked at my sudden movement before she carefully wrapped her hooves around me."Thank you so much for saving me."I said before I closed my eyes and I felt her let go of me.I heard her walk over to where a couch was and sit down peacefully before sleep claimed me.
I awoke and saw Celestia in the huge bed next to me asleep but not anywhere close to me.I let sleep take me again until morning.When I awoke again I saw Celestia come back in through the balcony and noticed she had a sun on her flank and I remembered the six ponies I saw yesterday had marks on their flanks as well.She smiled toward me with care in her eyes.
"Good morning, Amos.Today, I want to introduce you to my sister once we get some food."she said with that same motherly tone.
"Good morning to you, too."I smiled as a servant pony had come up with a tray on his back and one on his head.
Celestia's horn started to glow a soft gold as the trays also did lifting them up and bringing one to a rest on my chest (rhyme not intended) she brought the other to her as she lifted food from it and started eating the breakfast with the same soft gold glow on each food item.I started eating as well with two eggs being on my tray with an orange.I began to speak between bites.
"What are you doing to lift the food?"I asked with calmly, curiosity burning inside me.
Celestia responded,"I am using magic...I assume they didn't have such a thing as magic on your world."I shook my head finishing my eggs before taking a bite from my orange.
"I never ate this good tasting food...I always had to eat simple bread and water."I recalled that was the only meal I would get every other day.Celestia sensed my trouble within my self and she walked over setting her empty tray with mine on a table next to the door.She spoke as she nuzzled my cheek.
"You have nothing to worry about any more, Amos.I am here to take care of you,"Celestia then headed to the door.
I smiled brightly,"So, you are like my new mother?"I asked and she nodded with a caring smile before turning around back to the door.
"I am going to go get my sister."she stated then asked,"How old are you anyways?"she then opened the door with her magic.
"I am ten years old...and my birthday is February fourth."I replied and she headed out the door.
"I will be back soon."Celestia said before closing the door after her again using her magic.
It left me to think about many things in this place they call Equestria.It made me wonder just what everything was and to put together some things I had figured out.I thought my first move would be to ask if Rarity could make me some new clothes so I would have more than one outfit.Then I would learn how to protect myself in case something bad might of happened.Next I would learn more about this place and how everything works.I had looked at the clock and it had been seventeen minutes before the door glowed a deep blue and opened revealing Celestia and what I would assume is her sister.
Celestia came over and stood closest my head looking over with her sister next to her wings folded in.
Celestia's sister had a deep blue with a blue flowing mane that sparkled like the night sky and I found myself staring at it once I was done checking her features.I noticed there was a crescent moon on her flank.
Celestia's sister started up clearing her throat making me snap out and realize what I was doing.I felt the heat on my cheeks and knew I was blushing a bit.I still didn't look away I just focused my attention on her face rather than her mane.
"So you must be Amos.I heard plenty of you from my sister.I am Princess Luna.But just call me Luna."she stuck out her hoof for a moment until I realized she wanted to shake.I grabbed her hoof the best I could with the pain tablet wearing off.I began.
"It's nice to meet you, Luna.Your mane reminds me of the beautiful night sky."I glanced back over to it then met her eyes with mine and she smiled hugging me suddenly.I winced in pain and she immediately let go of me carefully.
"You really think so?!"she said cheerfully and I nodded before speaking.
"Yeah, Staring up at the stars and moon helped calm me down and sleep when I was...still back there."I kept a half-hearted smile while she was smiling big.
"See, Luna.I told you somepony or someone likes your nights."Celestia said smiling.
Luna left quietly after a while of talking and soon after somepony walked in grabbed the trays and left the pain suppressants which I took gladly.The rest of the day me and Celestia talked until she was called down to court.
Most days went with me and Celestia talking and i slowly made recovery while a bed was made and brought into the room.On a few occasions Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow, Rarity, and Pinkie would come see me.Most of the times Twilight would come alone or when they all came Fluttershy would come but not nearly as often.Luna would sometimes come in and see me.I would sometimes call Celestia mom if I needed her attention which helped me forget about the other parents I used to have.Life was good here.
As three months went by I grew close to Celestia.I even loved her as if she is my real mother.I know she loves me as if I am her real son.It was time to put my plan into motion while I had taken the time to take off my own bandages, Celestia went to go get me a cloak so I wouldn't be embarrassed from my tattered attire while I go out to Ponyville.
I waited long for this day.To see just what the world looks like outside this bedroom.I stretched and headed for the bathroom since I was in dire and utmost need of a shower.I grabbed the towel Celestia put out for me and walked into the bathroom.I undressed, turning the water on before I did so, and stepped into the warm shower.At that moment Celestia had walked back into the bedroom.
"Amos, I laid the cloak over on your bed so you can be on your way when you get done in the bathroom."Celestia said as she knocked to get my attention.
"Alright, thanks, Mom."I responded scrubbing hard to get the dirt out from basically everywhere.
After a while I hopped out dried off and redressed in the same clothes that had been treated a day ago so they didn't smell like blood and death.I walked out of the bathroom in my tattered old clothes picked up the simple tan cloak slipped it over keeping the hood down as I grabbed the ticket off my bed.I turned to Celestia and smiled.
"Well...I guess I will see you in a week."I said lovingly to her as i picked up a bag that shook with heavy bits.
"Be safe, Amos."Celestia responded hugging me.
I left walking out of the tower a little fast as a guard was waiting for me at the entrance of the castle.He handed me a small black suitcase that had a long sword that if needed could be used with one hand or two hands.
When I left the vicinity of the castle the people of Canterlot looked at me funny but, as I remembered that Celestia told me to stay positive and happy I started to wave at a few some just walked by me faster while others waved back and some ignored me completely.I soon reached the train station and gave my ticket in and boarded the first class car.I looked around finding a perfect seat away from anypony on I sat and soon heard the train start to move towards Ponyville.
I gazed out the window, marveling at all the great plant life and didn't even notice someone had approached me curious.
The mare started."Hi, I noticed you were looking a little bored over here."she said trying to remain calm.
I jumped at the sudden sound and turned to her."Um...Hi.I'm just noticing how different Equestria is than my home."
"Well, I hope I'm not bothering you." she sat down and I noticed she was in some sort of elegant high class dress.I then noticed somepony else was sitting across with a monocle and a gentlemanly suit on.
The gentleman pony spoke up,"Well, I see that you have found someone interesting,"he directed to me,"What's your name, sir?"
"I am not even grown.I am only ten years old.But, my name is Amos.Yours?"I responded.
"Fancy Pants.You do look rather quite young.I haven't seen you in any upper class.So, where could you have been?"he said.
"I have been in Canterlot Castle.With my mother."I answered.at this point the mare was gone and it was just me and Fancy Pants.
"Canterlot Castle.And who is your mother?"
"Celestia..."I said trailing off lowering my tone and i put my hand over his mouth before he said a thing and continued speaking,"I don't want anyone to know but I will make an exception for you.You do seem okay to me."
"That is preposterous.Princess Celestia has never married."
"I am not related to her according to blood.She did bring me into this world and helped me heal and treated me as if I were her son.I consider her my mother.I was close to coming to a h-horrid death...when she saved me."
I lifted my cloak up and he gasped at the sight of the cut and blood stained clothes.
"It must be a miracle you survived!"he exclaimed someponies looking at us weird.
"Keep it down.Anyways, I do believe this conversation draws to an end."
The train stopped at Ponyville while I with a few others hopped off the train.Fancy Pants stay on waving out the window to me and I waved back smiling.
I walked away from the station and looked at the photo Rarity had given me of her shop.After a twenty minute walk I spotted it and ran up to the door knocking on it.
Rarity called from inside,"Come iiinnnnnn!"
I opened the door and Rarity looked over and gasped running over to me and hugging me for a moment.She began to speak.
"Darling, I'm so glad you could make it!Now take off that cloak so we can get your measurements.Quickly now."she called as she pointed to a stand.
I took off my cloak revealing the badly beaten clothes underneath that were blood stained all over.
Rarity gasped at seeing them,"I knew you were badly injured but, that!Oh your parents must have been so cruel!"she said sympathetically.
She continued,"Anyways, Dear, those will have to go if I plan to get accurate measurements."she said
"Um...But, humans have some...unmentionable places that don't...cover themselves up."I said as my cheeks got dyed a deep red.
"Oh....well then in that case keep your undergarments on."She said a hint of red visible through her perfect white coat.
I sighed knowing that I would have to strip down to get new proper clothing that I needed.I decided to skip the argument and pulled my shoes and sock off before taking my cut up barely intact shirt off.I by then had a crimson shade over my face that grew as I slipped my ripped and shredded pants off keep some boxers on as I stepped on the stand.Rarity's own face had a deep crimson looking at my slim body from malnourishment over the course of many years.
Tape measures flew over around my arms and legs while a paper was floated and a quill writing down measurements while Rarity took a look at the tapes.All of the floating items had a blue glow on them as well did Rarity's horn.
"Done!"Rarity shouted as I stepped off the stand before I donned my clothes then slipped my cloak back on the blush slowly coming off my face.
"Well I'm glad that's over.So, how much do I owe you?"
She shook her head,"Think of this as a welcoming gift."
"Are you sure?"I said hesitant to not pay her,"It wouldn't sit right with me."
"I'm positive.Now you better go find a place to stay while you are in Ponyville, Darling."
"Well...bye then,"I walked out the door as I heard her say her own goodbye.
I walked down the street clutching the black suitcase with the bag of bits in my left hand.I thought about asking the others if I could stay with them.I spoke to myself.
I walked around even longer until I had seen many bookcases through a window.I assumed this was the library in which Twilight lived.I walked up to it and knocked casually before hearing a young boyish voice call out.
"Just a minute!"
I thought this wasn't the library but as I walked away the door opened and someone or somepony called out to me.
"Hey!You must be this human guy I heard Twilight ranting about,"I turned to look at him noticing he was a small purple dragon with green fins,"Come on inside."
I started to walk inside into the strange tree library and as I did I saw Twilight come down the stairs while I continued to inspect the place.She started to speak.
"Hi, Amos.I see you already met Spike, my No. 1 assistant."she came to a stop in front of me after I set my black suitcase on the table which housed the sword made for me.she began to speak once more,"So, what brings you here?"she asked eager to know.
"I thought up a plan for when I would heal fully and come here since my mom wanted me to know you guys better,"I started to speak up again when Twilight interrupted me.
"But I thought your parents aren't here,"Twilight said stating a fact.
"Yes, they aren't and I'm glad for that.But, as you know Celestia allows me to stay with her and Luna in the castle,"I stated facts then going to something she didn't know herself,"This may be shocking for you but, I see Celestia as my mother and she sees me as her son."
Her eyes bugged out as I ended my statement and she began to speak out of denial.
"But, Celestia would never!"she shouted a little loud and Spike had come out of the kitchen after mopping.
Spike began to start up,"Actually Twilight.It is very possible since he had been unable to move for,"he started counting on his claws,"six months, unless he wanted to reopen his wounds."
I could see the expression on Twilight's face knowing that it was very possible.
I started to speak again,"Anyways, I wanted to see if I could get a book or two on the history of Equestria."
Twilight began to speak still a little shocked by what had been said earlier"Okay...Spike, could you g-"
Spike had cut her off,"I'm on it."he sighed.
Spike came back with two moderately sized books.He handed them to me.
"Now I need to go see Rainbow Dash..."I trailed off thinking of where she could be.I started up again asking them,"Any idea where she could be?"
Twilight responded,"She would probably be with Pinkie about to do a prank or be practicing tricks."
"Alright.Thanks for the books and bye."I said as i opened the door and exited hearing the two farewells.
I thought in my mind,'I LOVE a wild goose chase!'.This day was going to get even more fun.
I started to walk around looking in the skies to try to find Dash.I had no such luck.I had wondered for what seemed to be three hours.Until I heard a familiar voice.
"Watch out!"
I turned around to see what was going on but I was met with something knocking me clear onto the ground.I had gotten tangled with it and something was in my mouth.I opened my eyes to see Rainbow Dash tangled with me and some of her mane in my mouth.I quickly spat it out and began to speak.
"Am I glad to see you, Rainbow."I said while we slowly untangled ourselves.
"Why are you happy to see me?"she inquired,"is it because you finally want to say how awesome I am?"
"No, I need help getting stronger and you being an athlete.I thought you might be able to help me"I said as we got up.
Rainbow's cheeks went a little red under her coat,"So, you came to me for help with getting stronger?"
"More like you blasted into me and I then asked."
"Then meet me outside Ponyville near Fluttershy's cottage."she told
"Um, okay."I responded having no idea where Fluttershy's cottage is.She had never mentioned it in the times she visited me while I was recovering.
"In about an hour."
"See ya there,"I said my farewell and hear her say her own.
I walked towards Sweet Apple Acres to see Applejack but on the way traveling to the farmhouse a big red stallion had met me.I was first to speak.
"You must be Big Macintosh, right?"I asked
He nodded at me saying, "Eeyup."
"Is Applejack inside?"
"Nnope."
"So, she must be out bucking the trees then."
"Eeyup."
"Thanks, Big Mac."
"Eeyup."he said as he got back to pulling a cart attached to him.
I walked around the field holding onto the black suit case tight in my right hand and the books in my other hand with the bag of bits strapped around a belt.I hear a loud bang and I walked towards the noise.I saw Applejack bucking some trees and she picked up the buckets she had just filled with apples.
"Hey, Applejack."I greeted her.
"Howdy, pardner,"she whooped back,"So, what brings ya down here to tha farm?"
"I was hoping to buy a bucket of your apples and if it was okay if I could sleep in your barn while I'm in Ponyville."
"Sure, as long as ya got tha bits,"I shook my bag full of bits given to me from Celestia,"Then that'll be twenty bits."Applejack responded.
We traded our items and I put the books and bag of bits in with the bucket.
"Ya can keep the bucket if ya wish."Applejack said.
"Thanks it will help me keep my stuff together,"I thanked her,"Do you mind if I sleep in your barn?"
"Sorry, but its full of equipment.I think Fluttershy might have a guest room.Go check with her if ya need some where to stay."Applejack said
"Thanks, see ya."I waved goodbye.
"Take care pardner."Applejack then got back to bucking trees.
I was on my way over to the outskirts of Ponyville and I noticed Dash had some equipment set up in a nearby field.She waved to me as I passed by.When I arrived at a cottage filled with animals all over, I knocked calmly, remembering she loved animals, and heard an "Eep!" from inside.A moment after Fluttershy opened the door.
"Applejack said you might have a guest room I could stay in.So, I came out here to ask.But, if you don't want me here I'll understand."I smiled to reassure her and help stop her from stuttering.
"No, it's fine come on in."Fluttershy ushered me in and I instantly saw all the woodland animals roaming around.
"You sure have a lot of fuzzy little creatures don't you?"
"Yea, they're all my friends.Now come on the guest room is this way."she headed upstairs and opened the door on the left.I followed and she spoke again,"my room is right there,"she pointed to the end of the hall,"in case you need anything..."she continued in a low volume.
"Don't worry about it, Fluttershy.I won't be a burden."I said and entered the guest room and put the bucket of apples with the black suitcase in the closet and left the bag of bits on my side, clipped to my belt.
"Oh, o-okay."she replied.
"Anyways, I gotta go see Dash out in the field.She is gonna help me get in physical shape from all those years of malnourishment.So, see ya Fluttershy."I said then petted her head in which she blushed.
"Bye."she responded
I walked out into the field and there was a dirt track with some equipment in the middle of it.I could see two dumbbells, a barbell with a bench, different sized jump-ropes, and some hurdles.
"Hey, Amos.I see you settled in Fluttershy's guest room."Rainbow Dash said.
"Yea.So, let's get to training.I really want to get some strength and speed."
"Alright.First, run the track I want to time your intial speed so we can see how much you improved."Dash said.
I took my place on the dirt track that would be just like an asphalt but it was dirt.Dash put the whistle to her lips and waited a moment.I was on one foot.That leg was at a ninety degrees angle and my other was straight.The toes of the other foot was put on the ground.I had my arms resting on top of the leg in front of me which was the one I bent at ninety degrees.Dash blew the whistle and at that second I took off pushing my hands down on my leg while i pushed with the leg and had my foot behind me push forward.This made me start off very fast.Unfortunately, I couldn't keep going that fast because I would have tripped knowing I couldn't keep up with my feet.I slowed a little going fast but not too fast and Dash was flying right next to me upside down.
"You call that fast?Go faster, you slowpoke."she encouraged and I sped up determined to do my best.
Dash flew a little faster beside me to keep up even though she could zoom past me fast.I had to get two laps in before she would stop the timer.After one and a half laps I was jogging sweat pouring down my face as I wiped it away before it stung my eyes.Dash had stopped the watch when I reached the dirt line.
"Three minutes and forty-nine point two seconds.About average for normal ponies but you need to go a little faster.Just keep running the track for an hour and we will take it to something else from there."she said.
"Alright."I got back on the track and just continued jogging.I would speed up every now and then but go back down to a jog.I didn't notice Fluttershy coming up to Dash.
"So, do you think he's doing good?He was pretty skinny when we first saw him in Canterlot."Fluttershy asked.
"He is fine.But, back on his world his parents only fed him a two slices of bread and a glass of water every other day.And now he is back to health somewhat.He did go slower than average ponies run.But, again, he isn't our species."Dash responded.
"Oh, okay."Fluttershy said.
I looked over and waved at her to which she blushed.I couldn't see it since I was on the other end of the track.She only hid behind her mane that covered half of her face and waved back.The two continued there conversation before I came back over.They were talking quietly so I couldn't hear them over my heavy steps.
.Dash looked back down at her watch and the time had said four in the afternoon.Dash called out to me.
"Great work, Amos.Now tomorrow we will work on your strength."she then covered the equipment with a grey trap and nailed spikes into the ground through the holes in the tarp to keep it down.
"O....kay.."I said panting hard,"I..am gonna...head...back inside...to eat..."I huffed and walked back inside the cottage and Rainbow and Fluttershy talked a little but then Dash took off to her own cloud house and Fluttershy walked into the house while I was sitting on my bed with two apples to the left of me and one I was furiously chomping down on happy to get some food.Fluttershy walked into my room holding a glass of water in her wing.
"I-I brought you some water.I th-thought you might need some."she said.
"Thanks,"She handed me the glass and I gladly took it and drank it down fast feeling much better,"you didn't have to you know."
"But I wanted to...if that's okay.."she said obviously fitting her name.
I laughed a bit and rubbed her head ruffling her mane a little,"Again, thank you."
I had finished two apples and was on my third.The other two I put in a trash can at the door.Fluttershy began to speak.
"Yo-You're welcome.I was going to c-cook dinner soon."
"Cook it for yourself.I don't want to be too much of a burden.I can feed myself."I replied
The clock on the wall said five thirty and I began to speak again,"I am gonna head to bed early.I am so tired and I got to look for some job."I laid down and continued,"So, goodnight."
"G-Goodnight"Fluttershy responded and I could see the blush under her butter yellow coat and she left and turned off the bedroom light and the closed the door for me as I closed the curtains to the window next to the bedand closed my eyes.
"I'm glad I'm here."I said before the cool embrace of sleep took me.
Apparently Fluttershy heard what I said and smiled to herself as she went down to cook something for herself and the feed the animals.
I awoke to and looked to the clock and spoke in a soft voice,"Dead midnight?"I then headed outside to breath some night air I saw a bunny at the bottom of the stares glaring at me.I just smiled at him and walked right past the little ball of white fluff.I opened the front door and walked out breathing in the night air in one huge puff before expelling it from my lungs.A voice spoke up from above me.
"Hello, Amos.What brings thou out here?"
"Hi, Luna.I just went out here to get some fresh night air."
"So you really do like our nights?"she asked then jumped down from the roof landing in front of me gracefully.
"Yep.They are beautiful.Unlike Earth's nights.They are so washy.But these...are so clear."
"We're so glad to see you enjoy our nights."
"Anyways, I should head back inside and try to get some sleep."I said returning inside.
"We bid you farewell."Luna said as she flew off.
I entered again and the bunny greeted me with a glare to which I just ignored and went back to my room.I plopped onto it staring up at the ceiling before casting myself into the black abyss...
I awoke smelling eggs but, I shook the smell from my nose and grabbed two apples and began eating them on my way down the stairs.I greeted Fluttershy seeing her cooking the eggs.I approached with a soft calm voice.
"Good morning, Fluttershy."
"G-good morning."
"You don't need to make me eggs at all I will fend for myself like I said."
"O-okay."she said with a depressing voice which I then smiled.
"Buuuuut...I can eat eggs...if you want me to.."I said copying her to which she giggled and pointed to a plate that housed two eggs.
Smiling I quickly ate the eggs.My mouth had never been filled with such ecstasy.I began to speak.
"Wow, Fluttershy.This is amazing!"
"I-I'm glad y-you think so."
"Ya know, flu--"The squawking of chickens interrupted our conversation.I ran to my room and grabbed the black suitcase.I thought some trouble was coming.
I ran to the door hearing growling from the chicken coop.I bursted from the door and Fluttershy was taking small steps shaking.I looked to the chicken coop.I saw these weird wood wolves chasing chickens.None of the chickens seemed to have been harmed.I set the suitcase down and unlocked it with the key in my pocket.Fluttershy began to speak.
"T-timberwolves!W-what a-are you go-going to do A-amos?"she asked cowering behind me.
"Take care of them."I said once I flipped open the case and the sword within shown in the sun.
Fluttershy gasped as I picked up the sword out of the suitcase and looked over to the timberwolves.
"Hey!You rotten sacks of driftwood,"the timberwolves looked at me with hate in their eyes.
"Amos...don't"Fluttershy had much fear in her voice.I looked back to her.
"Don't worry I can handle this....,"I said reassuring her then whispered to myself once I turned around,"I hope."I had some fear in my heart but, it was overwhelmed with the feeling to help my friend.
I charged at them, the sword in my hand waving as I charged towards the wolves.My sword had been made from steel coated with a mix of brimstone and rock.The handle was made with pure iron coated with gold.The hand guard was also coated in the shining yellow mineral.The end of the handle was spiked for special situations.The handle was long enough to be held with one hand for speed.Or both hands to utilize strength.The blade was roughly six feet and the handle being exactly a foot. It had been enchanted specially to be light as a feather so I could swing it.
The timberwolves left the chickens and focused upon me.I took a head count and said to myself,"Six wolves,"
I stopped fast and they slowly circled me.Fluttershy called out to me.
"Amos!"
"What!?
"D-don't get hurt..."
I smiled at the fact someone else cared for my health,"I don't plan on it!"
One of the timberwolves lunged at me to which I moved out of the way barely and sliced it in half easily,"One down....five to go."
Another was already upon my back.I ducked and it pounced upon me.I stood and grabbed its leg then swung it over in front of me, slamming it into the ground.It blasted apart.While I was busy one managed to bite my ankle.I winced and screamed in agony then gripped my sword with both hands.I brought it down on the wolf hard.Its head was immediately severed.Two more were in the air coming towards me.I crouched then sprang when they had jumped at me.One was sliced in half while the other had lost its face.I crouched in pain of my ankle.The last ran off scared.It apparently didn't want to follow the other's fate.
I winced in pain and looked at my ankle.Splinters were all in it with blood gushing down my foot.I looked to where Fluttershy was.I saw her and Twilight.They were staring at me in shock.Fluttershy ran up to me with eyes full of worry.Twilight followed a moment after.I assumed Fluttershy went to go get Twilight for help.
"Amos!A-are you okay?"Fluttershy sounded completely concerned.
"I...I think I am.."I replied.
Twilight's horn started to glow with a purple aura as did the splinters and the wound.I winced in pain as the splinters shot out fast and flung into the woods.The remains of the timberwolves went with the splinters.The bite mark started to seal up and the blood disappeared.Twilight spoke up.
"You're healed now....But why would you even think of trying to get rid of timberwolves.!?In your condition!"she scowled.
"Because...I had to protect my friend and the chickens."I responded looking toward Fluttershy.I smiled at her.She blushed in response and hid behind her mane.
"B-but!ERRGGHH!"Twilight stomped back to the library in anger.Once she was gone my hand started to glow red.The aura followed up the sword I still held tight in my hand.
"Wh-what's going on!?"I yelled.Fluttershy was completely quiet.
My sword then bursted into flames and my hand had stopped glowing as did the sword.The flames died out after a while.
"I-I think you reacted to Twilight's magic...."Fluttershy theorized.
"I think you are right,"I said.soon after followed a silence then Fluttershy hugged me tight with her hooves.
"I'm so glad you turned out okay."
I assumed she had a lot of emotion held back,"I am too.I am...too."I responded.
"I don't know what I would do if something worse had happened...."she said smiling with tears slowly flowing down her face,"You are such a good friend to me."she accidentally spilled her emotions out to me.
I smiled the spoke,"Let's go back inside and finished breakfast,"with that I packed the sword back in the case and headed inside.While we ate it was dead quiet.
Twilight had sent a letter to Celestia stating what events had taken place.She responded wanting me back home as soon as possible.She came back over to Fluttershy's cottage to tell us the news.Fluttershy looked saddened to see me head back over to Canterlot.She began to speak.
"B-but I don't want you to leave th-this early..."she said in a low volume.
"If mom wants me home...then she wants me home."I went upstairs and started packing.I gave the rest of my apples to Fluttershy and picked up the black suitcase and snapped the bag of bits to my side.I then headed back downstairs seeing Twilight and Fluttershy talking quietly.They hushed as soon as they heard the stairs creak.
"See ya, guys.Its been fun."I gave both of them hugs to which Fluttershy blushed.
"W-we'll come see you in Canterlot soon."Fluttershy said as me and Twilight left.
As we walked towards the train station.I began to speak.
"When you left I reacted to your magic earlier...I guess it sorta gave me some power thing..."
"What exactly do you mean?"Twilight inquired.We were close to the train station by now.
"Well...a moment after you left my hand started to glow red.It followed up my sword before the blade bursted into flames.It could be a reaction to your magic but, I'm not sure?"I shrugged
"Ask Princess Celestia about it."Twilight said right after.We had arrived at the station.
"Okay.Say goodbye to everyone for me alright."
"Can do."Twilight said.
I stepped onto the train giving turning in my ticket.I waved bye as Twilight walked away.She of course waved back.I moved into a seat at the first class car and stared down at my hands.I thought to myself,'What was that anyways?'.I was so deep in thought I didn't realize the train was moving before I felt eyes upon me again.All of the ponies were staring at me.I had my cloak over the clothes Rarity had given me.I heard the ponies gossiping about me.I laid my head back and closed my eyes.I drifted to sleep.
I heard the train stop and I jolted awake flailing.I looked outside and saw Canterlot.I quickly grabbed my items and ran out the station towards the castle eager to see Celestia, my mother.I remembered the history of Canterlot from the books Twilight had given me.They would give me knowledge I would need to hold some conversations.I had seen Fancy Pants inside some clothing store surrounded by other ponies.I ignored him and kept running towards the castle.I walked when I was close to the gates.The guards just nodded to me as I passed through.
While walking through the corridors I felt some kind of heat build throughout me that I had never felt before.After a while it slowly dimmed.I was even more puzzled about this magic power I had obtained.I passed by Luna's room and walked towards mine.It was situated between the princesses rooms.I quickly entered and deposited all my items in there proper places.My sword hung above my bed shining in the daylight.I walked towards my mom's room and knocked.
"You may enter."I heard Celestia's voice call from behind the door.
I walked in and she was on the couch looking at me.She quickly stood up and walked a faster pace to me.She threw her hooves around me smiling.I returned the hug.
"I missed you, Amos."
I missed you, too."I responded,"But, we have important matters to discuss."
"Yes we do.Why did you try to run off the timberwolves?"she said and detached from the hug.
"Because I had to help Fluttershy and protect her.It is what you taught me.To always help your friends, right?"
"Yes,"she said smiling.
"Oh and...when Twilight used her magic to heal me shortly after she left, my hand started to glow red.It followed up my sword.After it covered the whole thing, the blade bursted into flames.I felt unnatural heat on my way up here."
"That is most interesting...Can you show me?"she asked in her caring motherly tone.
"I can try."with that I headed to my room and pulled my sword from the plaque above my bed.I returned with it the rock coated blade shimmering in its polish.
I started to focus on the heat I had felt earlier.I felt it once more but all in my hand like I tried to do.The red glow appeared and zoomed up the blade faster.This surprised me but the blade bursted into flames.Celestia had her face close to it examining it before but she jumped back.I laughed quietly and she just smiled.Soon after the blade lost its flames.
"Sorry.I guess it doesn't work long if I try to start it..."I apologized my head down.
She put her hoof under my chin and lifted it so I would meet her face before she took it back,"It's okay , Amos.You did what you could.
"May I go out to the castle garden?"I asked eager to practice.She just nodded smiling.I walked out of the bedroom and gave myself a mental 'YES!'
As I walked I passed Shining Armor who was visiting for the day.He was stunned at the beautiful blade and walked beside me and spoke up, wanting to know me.
"And who are you?You look young to be in the castle.Even for a different species."Shining asked.
"I'm Amos, eleven and a half years old."I responded a little nervous.The Equestrian calendar had two extra months vs. the Earth calendar.As a result I appeared to age a little faster than the ponies.The magic field that constantly was around me also affected my aging rate just as Celestia theorized it.
"Then what brings you to the castle?"
"Well...er...I..have always been at the castle,"I responded preparing for a scowl,"Since I started a new and better life here in Equestria."
"Wait.So you mean you don't belong here?Then where were you?"
I sighed knowing I would have to talk once more,"Well...As a child..."I continued my explanation and he just listened as we were walking.
"So, Princess Celestia brought you here to save you?"Shining asked to make sure.
"Mhm.And she is like a mother to me."I replied.Shining grew wide eyes at this when we were close to the gardens.
"I don't believe that.But, I guess I have another thing to ask Princess Celestia.So, where did you get that beautiful sword?"
"It was made special for me.Its blade is steel coated with rock and brimstone polished to a shine.I don't like using it unless I have to.I am just going to the gardens to brush up my skills."I responded
"Amazing.Anyways, I hope to see you later, Amos."He turned back around once I stepped outside the castle and into the garden.
I passed by some guards while I made myself to the center in front of a weird chimeras statue.I began swinging the sword practicing.Trying to swing faster in one hand and both.Switching between both hands to use some technique.I heard a deep voice booming behind me after about an hour.
"So, this is the new creature Celestia has brought to Equestria."
I whipped around and searched seeing no one I was freaked out,"Where are you?Show yourself!"I paniced.
"Up here, boy."The voice came from the chimera like statue,"I am Discord, god of chaos.Soon you shall see me. But for now, ta-ta."the voice said laughing.
I backed away with some fear and ran all the way up to Princess Celestia's room.I bursted the door open. Shining Armor and Princess Celestia both stared at me in shock.
"What is so urgent, Amos?"
"A statue j-just talked to me...He called himself Discord..."I said and Celestia's face changed to fear.
"I must write a letter to the elements right away," Celestia said floating a piece of parchment with a quill. She began to write furiously.
Shining Armor ran outside to ready the guards. Celestia then sent the message. A small rumbling was heard outside
"W-what was that?" I asked with fear as I gripped my sword tight.
Celestia went to check the balcony,"Discord is gone!"
A purple smoke cloud appeared between us. When it cleared I saw Twilight, Fluttershy, Applejack, and the others standing there.
"We came as soon as we could..."Twilight said. She sounded a little weak from the long teleportation spells.
"Good, now we must get to the Elements of Harmon--"Princess Celestia was cut off.
All of us whipped to the door as a grey smoke cloud appeared and quickly vanishing.Where the dull puffs were stood the chimera like figure.Discord.I gripped my sword tight.
"Hello, everypony. And human,"Discord mocked,"So pathetic. You elements couldn't hold me for a thousand years in the first place. But only one measly year.I have been watching you all, closely, VERY CLOSELY. You can't beat me this time.You. Don't. Have. The. Power."Discord got close to applejack and pointed at her face on the first emphasized word. Next he went to Rainbow Dash, then Twilight, after her was Rarity, then Fluttershy. Fluttershy had tears well up in her eyes. Applejack had a look of annoyance. Rarity looked quite afraid. Rainbow Dash seemed like she was resisting to charge with all her might. Twilight was biting her lip.
I stepped forward gulping.I quickly sent a prayer mentally and hefted the sword to my side.
"Hahahahahah,"Discord laughed,"YOU! Think you can take me down?"he mocked.
"I-I'll try..."I muttered out.
"Amos, don't risk your life."Celestia was watching with worry in her eyes as she spoke.
"I'd rather lose it before I lose my friends. If what Fluttershy told me about Discord is true..."Celestia cracked a smile at my words while she dropped a tear.
"Oh how touching. Dear Celestia has feelings for someone who came from an unknown, cruel world."Discord teased.
"Shut up! That's behind me."I retorted as I swung at him.
He jumped back,"I don't think it is..."Discord snapped his fingers and wavy forms of my parents holding their previous weapons.
"You won't escape from us now..."the wavy form of my mother spoke.
I curled up into a ball muttering,"Go away...g-go away...y-you can't kill me..."over and over while I slowly cried remembering all the memories.
Discord smirked evilly as he flew out the balcony tearing the curtains apart. The wavy forms of my parents disappeared but, I was still curled up crying and sobbing. I felt a hoof on my back that then went into a hug.I opened my eyes and looked behind to me. I was greeted by Fluttershy.
"It's okay...It's okay. They're gone and you're safe."she calmed me.
I slowly stood wiping the tears returning the hug.
"Thank you, Fluttershy."
"Oh, it's no problem,"she blushed and removed herself from the hug.She hid behind her mane,"But, we must get going. We need to stop Discord."
I picked up my sword,"Right."
"Then lets git ta goin'!" Applejack said and all of us ran down the corridors.Luna had joined us along the way.
Twilight gave out the elements once we were all outside.Everything was choatic. Buildings were constantly shifting between themselves and plants would bloom die and regrow very fast.
"This makes no sense."I said aloud.
"Discord is the god of chaos,"Celestia stated,"We must stay here and try to keep everypony calm.You seven find and defeat Discord."
The six mares nodded and Twilight teleported us back to Ponyville.It was just like she had described. I gripped my sword tight as I felt some power in the Everfree forest, which remained the same. While the six chatted among where to search I slipped away.
As I got to the forest I heard my blood mother's speak,"Come here, Amos.We need to kill you...."
I blasted off into the forest and a while after I walked. I heard some footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw a shocking sight.
"Y-you guys...You won't kill me. I have come too far." I said to my real parents who were oddly in front of me.
"Oh, but we can.All thanks to that fellow, Discord."my dad had said.
"Rrrrr. Well let's finish this." I charged them gripping the sword. They both pulled knives they had gotten from the house on Earth.
I swung down upon my dad who charged with me. We locked weapons. We kept locking weapons, but I finally bested him thanks to the training schedule Rainbow Dash had given me. My sword impaled his chest and blood ran down the side of his mouth as he coughed and held a scowl. I moved to the left and pulled my sword fresh with spilled blood from his chest. My mother had almost stabbed me. As she stumbled forward not expecting me to move I kicked her in the side hard.
"Now you're dead!!!"she yelled at me with anger in her eyes.
She threw one knife which buzzed past my ear and she was about to bring the other down upon my neck, but I positioned the sword in front of me at the last moment. Which she ran into.
"You guys won't scare me anymore..."I said as my mother slipped off my bloody blade from my mother dead just like my father.
"Very good. You bested them. I didn't think you had it in you." I heard discord behind me.I whipped around and there he was.
"So there you are..."
"Yes.I, Discord, have shown myself. You really shouldn't trust those ponies. They just want to study you."
"Yeah right!They care about me especially mom and Fluttershy."
"Oh ho. So you call Celestia your mother. This is too rich."
"Shut up, and face me!"I said.
"Fine then...I won't run."
I ran to him and swung my sword down he blocked with a claw and yawned. I kept swinging to which he kept blocking or moved out of the way.
"What the..."
"Getting frustrated, boy?"he asked and laughed.
Fluttershy and the others finally found me and saw me fighting Discord.
"You are getting on my nerves!!!" I screamed and hit very hard to which it clipped his claw clean off. I kept the blade moving and spun around barely cutting his leg.
"Oi, you wretched boy...That wasn't nice,"he smiled,"Hey, look. It's your betraying supposed 'friends'.They just want to use you."
"Don't listen ta em', Amos."Applejack said.
"You know Discord, they had sympathy for my fate when I thought no one did. They gave me hope. You can't possibly hope to put us apart."
"Watch me."he laughed.
The six mares walked over behind me wearing the elements.
"You won't. As they taught me Friendship can indeed be magic. Friendship is almost everything."
Something sparked inside of me when that was said. Something that made me feel good. A white light came from my chest as a gem matching the light emerged. It was shaped in the sword I held. A golden object followed when it was completely out it had been a glove which opened at the bottom. It zoomed to my hand holding the sword. The sword floated and the glove split itself in two then snapped itself over my hand. The sword returned to my hand.
A word floated in my mind before I muttered it out,"Sympathy..."
The six mares were staring in awe of what had just conspired. Discord was speechless. The six mares came to their senses and started to activate the Elements of Harmony.I felt compelled to walk over and so I did. When they were about to release I was under them and floated right below Twilight not too high from the ground. The white sword gem glowed upon my hand and its symbol flooded out with the others as the rainbow shot from us. Instead of what I heard it glowed not only sparkled. It struck Discord and instead of it turning him to stone it turned him into obsidian. Ponyville far in the distance slowly was returned to normal as we all floated down. My new power here had affected my body. It seemed I skipped some years. I felt fourteen years old.
Twilight spoke up,"Just what was that!?"
"I-I think the elements called forth a seventh for power to keep harmony...At least that's what my heart is telling my mind..."I replied staring at the glove.
Pinkie began to talk,"Oh!My!Gosh!Then that means you are like us!I am so excited I could throw a thousand parties!"she screamed then began to bounce around us.
"They was a might somethin', Amos."Applejack joined in.
"It was Awesome!But not as awesome as me though."Dash said.
"It was a fantastic show, indeed, Darling."Rarity complimented.
"I don't even know what to do now."I said.
"K-keep moving."Fluttershy said.I smiled.
"It's like you always know what to say."I said and she blushed and hid behind her mane.
"We should probably head back to Canterlot and tell the Princesses."Twilight said.
We all agreed and Twilight teleported us to the throne room.
They all bowed but I just nodded knowing that I was like her son.
"Rise."Celestia said short and sweet.
"Um...mom. Something very interesting has come up."
"What is it, Amos?"She asked the throne room dead quiet.
I raised my hand and she gasped with an open mouth.
"We think this is a new Element of Harmony."Twilight added.
"I think it is sympathy. The word came to my head again and again when it emerged from within me."
"Well, this is very unexpected.Could I see it?"Celestia asked.
I ran my finger along a crease on the bottom of the gold gauntlet like glove. It popped open and I handed it to her.
"This is indeed an Element of Harmony. It probably was created for power to create harmony."Celestia said with much wisdom.
"Oh and mom?"I had a great question to ask.
"Yes?"she replied wanting to know what I had to say.
"Can I live in Ponyville?"
Celestia was shocked and her mouth moved to almost make a no but she changed her mind,"Yes."she smiled with me.
"Thank you, mom."I gave her a quick hug to which she returned,"I better get packing then."
On my way to Ponyville, I sat next to Fluttershy and began to speak with four suitcases next to me. I didn't trust others I didn't know well with my luggage.
"Ya know Fluttershy. I was thinking."I said
"What is it, Amos?"she said turning from the window.
"If I could stay with you again. I'll help out as much as I can and I won't get in your way."
She giggled for a fraction a of a second,"Amos, you won't be in my way, not the slightest. I actually enjoy your company, you're a great friend."
"Oh yea.Forgot about that for the moment."
I spent some time chatting with fluttershy before heading to a lone seat to compile my thoughts on what had transpired.
I heard the door open and caught a glimpse of what seemed to be Fancy Pants in the car over. I stood and walked over to the car door. Rainbow spoke up.
"And where are you going?"
"To see an old friend." I answered and opened the car door. I walked over to Fancy Pants and sat down beside him.
He looked over seeming to be annoyed,"Sir, there are plenty of other seats. Could you choose ano-" he stopped mid-sentence once he turned and saw my face. I smiled at him.
"So, how have you been, Fancy Pants?"I asked.
"Amos? I haven't seen you in forever. I'm doing just great and you?"
"Simply fantastic. I am finally fitting in and I'm on my way to move in at Ponyville."
"Why would you ever want to leave Canterlot Castle?"
"Because I have my dreams here in Equestria."
"Of course. And you have aged faster than us. How old are you now?"
"Well your years are off from my world's...I'm thirteen according to my calendars. But it must be due to the magic fields."
"That would make sense."
"So, Fancy Pants, care to join me with my other friends? You looked bored back here with no one to talk to."
"How grand. I would love to."He responded.
We both stood and opened the car door where the other six elements were. I opened the door and the six looked at me then Fancy Pants. Rarity was first to speak.
"Fancy Pants?"She questioned.
"Rarity it is good to see you again,"He said as he walked over and sat with her,"How are your fashion lines coming along?"
"Simple magnificent."
"Fancy pants, you wouldn't mind telling them how you met me would you?"
"Not at all."he replied
I walked over back to an empty seat while the others crowded around Fancy Pants listening in. I had time to think. But, I didn't get to really think. My mind was very empty through the rest of the ride.
Soon the train arrived in Ponyville. We had all said our goodbyes and Fancy was staying on since he had to go to Manehattan to see family.
We all stepped off the train and I had my luggage stacked up in front of my the black suitcase carrying the expertly crafted sword on top. We made small talk along the way to each other's house and we slowly split off until it was just me and Fluttershy heading to her cottage.
I quickly set up and put up the decor I used to have in my room.I had a guitar that was magically enchanted to make electric guitar sounds.I used it to play the few songs I recalled from earth and also to play some tunes I wanted to .I hung up my sword on the hanger that I once again put on the wall above my bed. I put the clothes Rarity had made for me then plopped on the bed and closed my eyes thinking. Nightfall came and I heard crickets come from outside my window. I heard a voice at my door.
"Amos, you don't mind if I come in, do you?"
"Not at all. I enjoy being around you, Fluttershy. You are my best friend here." I responded with my eyes still closed. I heard her walk over to the bed and sit down next to me.
"Is anything wrong? You are really quiet." Fluttershy sounded concerned.
"It's just amazing.How my life turned around this fast.From close to horrid death to having a kind and caring friend to talk to . It is just so much to take in. Especially since I must stay here since I am bound by my Element of Sympathy..."I said and opened my eyes looking at her.
Fluttershy was blushing but didn't look away,"Well, I am here for you. Always."she said sweetly.
I smiled and hugged her tight. She was a little surprised at the sudden movement, but wrapped her hooves around me knowing the stress I was going through.
For the few next years, since my aging worked a small fraction faster here, life went easy.Fluttershy and me had started growing close together, being very flirtatious around each other even in front of the others when we would meet up. We took to dating before that of course. I had learned all I could from the elements and the books on them were altered according to the new element that had shown up, mine. I kept on Rainbow Dash's schedule and kept pushing myself harder like she said. We even raced on the ground. I was barely able to keep up with her.I was getting very fast and agile but not much strength. I did regain the amount of strength normal for humans and a little more, but not overly needed muscles. Twilight had helped me master this flame magic and I was able to keep it up for an hour. I helped Applejack when harvesting season came around for extra bits and I helped cook for some stores since my fingers were useful.I even baked cupcakes for Pinkie.Rarity would sometimes make new clothes for me since I kept growing. These times I paid. She even made a Tuxedo for me as I recalled some people wearing them. I would go outside and practice with my sword every other day. Life was good...
A month later after my seventeenth birthday party I decided to go and visit the badlands to see if they are similar. I arrived and remembered why I had taken this long foot trip. All the mares had gone into heat and a lot of stallions went traveling like I did. The heat only lasted for a month so I thought it wouldn't be too bad. I couldn't be safe anywhere in Ponyville even at Fluttershy's. Fluttershy and me knew that we liked each other from our actions, but we didn't admit it just yet. Even with this world messing with my age a bit she was still four years older than me which could have things be a little awkward in my opinion. The badlands looked just like the pictures I saw on earth in the textbooks. I quickly set up a camp as it was night time. I saw another fire near my campsite once it was set up, so I headed over to it hoping to meet someone friendly. I brought my sword with me, but not my suit of armor. The thing was too hevay anyways and I would never use it.
As I approached I questioned,"Friend or Foe?"
"Friend." a deep voice responded and I walked into the camp seeing a middle aged white coated stallion.
"Hello." I said waving before I sat down next to him on a rock.
"Hi, what brings you here, Amos?" he responded.
"Getting away from the mares in heat...and how do you know my name?"
"Almost everyone knows you. You're Princess Celestia's son. The only human in Equestria. The Element of Sympathy. Oh and I'm Law and Order." He answered and I saw a gavel on his haunches so it made perfect sense to me.
"So, what brings you here then?" I asked.
"Same reason as you. Mares get crazy in heat and I wanted to be away from other stallions."
"Then I'll be going, see ya." I said seeing his hint that he wanted to be alone.
"Bye." I heard Law and Order call after me.
When I arrived back at my camp I just decided to go to sleep. I immediatly did.
The rest of the month was spent in the sun where it was very hot. Me and Law and Order saw each other on few run in occasions. We would sometimes go to the same dead tree for firewood. The month was soon up and I packed up and walked out of the badlands.
I decided to run since I missed all my friends in Ponyville. I got to Fluttershy's cottage early. I walked in seeing her not outside and went up to my room. I put my stuff away before falling asleep on my bed with the same sweat soaked clothes I had on.
When I awoke, I was greeted by heat on my left. Fluttershy was there snuggled against me, her head on my chest and her hooves wrapped around me sloppily. Her legs were trembling a bit, I knew something wasn't right. I looked at the calendar and saw that I accidently left on the wrong day. There were still two more days of heat left. I scowled my mistake then tried to go back to sleep. It didn't come for another hour.
I awoke finding myself in Fluttershy's large bed. It was nighttime as I looked at the window. I heard the door creak and slammed my eyes shut, pretending to sleep. I heard hoofsteps towards the bed on the other side. I felt Fluttershy climb in and snuggle close to me. I felt like I wanted to cuddle her close to me, which I did. I pulled her even closer to me, wrapping my arms around her. This was a mistake. She now knew I was awake. I mentally scorned my sympathy for others. She began to speak.
"I thought you were asleep..." she said.
"I...uh...was pretending." I gave in.
"Well as long as you are awake..." she said as she smiled coming closer to my face putting her hooves on my shirt.
"Fluttershy..please don't..." I pleaded shifting closer to the edge of the bed.
"Why not?" she asked in a seductive voice, "You know it will be fun..."
"I-I'm not even of appropriate age..." I said with a blush on my face as she put her hooves under my shirt and started to lift it up. When she was in heat she didn't even fit anything of her personality.
"This is Equestria. Your rules don't apply..." she said in that same seductive voice as before.
"I-It wouldn't sit right with me...."I said as I pushed my shirt back down and purposely fell off the bed.
"Pleeeasse....I want you so badly..." Fluttershy was now pleading a trace of her love juice slowly trailing down her leg.
"I'm sorry, but no means no." with that I ran to my room closed the door and locked it.
I heard Fluttershy pleading and knocking on the door. I ignored it the best I could. I quickly grabbed some clothes and my sword, I hoped I wouldn't have to use it on anypony or threaten them with it, with a few other items before I climbed out the window holding a suitcase. I jumped once I was close enough to the ground. I then walked silently to the front door opened it slowly, making no sounds. I still had socks on which was great since I didn't make a single noise. I went into the kitchen and grabbed a few apples, oranges, and other fruit with some carrots and tomatoes. I grabbed my bag at the front door and put the items in it. I slung the bag over my shoulder then got my shoes on. I went to walk to the door. I heard hoofsteps coming down the stairs.
"Amos, is that you? Come to me please..." Fluttershy said, pleading.
She came into my sight and saw me. She slowly started to walk over to me. I felt really bad for the trouble she must be going through.
"Sorry, Fluttershy. I feel really bad, but you can't have me yet..." I said, but I felt frozen. I couldn't move My sympathy had struck me hard.
"Please...just for tonight?" Fluttershy was slowly walking towards me staring at me with some sort of need.
"Maybe when I'm of the age..." I backed towards the door slowly before I opened and bolted out it.
I ran into Ponyville and started to sneak around to Twilight's library. I looked through the window and saw Twilight.
"Spiikke! Where are youuu?" she said.
I knew she just wanted Spike because he was a male. I saw the purple dragon under the table. He saw me and mouthed, 'help me'.
I slowly pried the window open and jumped through the it leaving my suitcase outside with my sword in the ground. Twilight whipped towards me as I made a loud landing noise.
"Amos? Oh perfect! You can help me with my 'problem'..." she said also wanting what Fluttershy wanted.
"No way! I didn't even let Fluttershy. I'm just here to save Spike. I know he is going through a lot and couldn't get out of here." I ran to the table and slid under it.
I grabbed Spike on my way through then stood up and put him on top of my bag. He clung tight. Twilight was running towards me her horn glowing. I ran to the window. Upon my landing inside the library earlier I knocked a book down. While I turned around to see Twilight I stepped on the book and slipped. Spike still clung to me. I scrambled to my feet and grabbed the window about to climb through it again. I felt a pull on my leg.
"Come on, Amos. Don't leave me like this..." Twilight begged. There was a glow on my foot that matched her horn.She was trying to pull me back in.
"Twilight, stop!Don't do this to, Amos.You'll break Fluttershy's heart."Spike said trying to help.Twilight still didn't let go.
"I feel really bad for all of you.I really do.But, this wouldn't sit right with me at all."I said finally pulling myself out of the window breaking Twilight's grasp.
I grabbed my suitcase and pulled my sword from the ground.Twilight had ran out the door to try to get me.A few other mares saw me from outside their windows where they were trying to do unspeakable things.They had ran out of their houses towards me.I ran towards Fluttershy's cottage.There were about twelve to fourteen mares following me including Twilight who was the closest to me. I was still out of the range of her magic grasp. As I approached Fluttershy's the beating of hooves behind me made much noise and I could barely hear Spike.
"Watch out!" Spike yelled and pointed to a sex-hungry Fluttershy in front of me between her cottage and the chicken coop.
"AMOS! You came back to me. You really did want me."
"Not in that way, Fluttershy!" I yelled over the loud thumping of hooves behind me.
"Come back here, Amos. You have to help me!" Twilight pleaded behind me.
As I closed the distance between me and Fluttershy she began to fly. Her hooves were outstretched to hug me. "Sorry, Fluttershy. I would be with you if I was the appropriate age." I said.
"What are you going to do?" Spike asked clinging to my bag.
"This..." I replied and built up my magic into my feet causing a lot of heat.
Heavy fire blasted me high, far, and fast over Fluttershy. I went even faster than Rainbow Dash on average. I made sure the flames didn't start a fire. I landed next to the dirt path leading into the Everfree forest. Spike was shocked and clung tighter to the strap of my bag. I looked back while crouching.
"I'm sorry for you all. Especially you, Fluttershy." I said and stood up turning to the Everfree.
"You aren't going in there, are you?" Spike said with some fear in his voice.
"It is the only place I can go to. Unless you feel like going to the Badlands."
"Everfree it is." Spike said quickly deciding as the mares were closing on us.
Fluttershy was almost at me. She was about six feet away. I threw my sword into the ground and ran to her. I quickly gave her a hug and whispered in her ears.
"I'll be back in two days. I promise." I then rubbed her head ruffling her mane before slipping down through her grasp.
I ran back toward the Everfree. Spike was shocked at what I just risked for the both of us. I grabbed my sword and pulled it out of the ground while I ran.
"I love you, Fluttershy." I yelled back.
"Amos, please come back and rut me..." Fluttershy pleaded as she stood there with the other mares.
They were too scared of the forest to follow me as I ran through the path and deep into the forest.
"Dude, you are crazy." Spike said while I slowly to a walk and he walked beside me.
"For hugging Fluttershy or going in here?"
"Both." he replied.
"Well, I didn't want to leave my special somepony wondering when I was going to come back. And this was the only somewhat safe place nearby." I did consider Fluttershy to be in a relationship with me somewhat.
"Yeah, but have you even been in the Everfree?" Spike asked.
"Not really. But it can't be that bad. I did pack my things with some food before I ran out of Ponyville."
"It is pretty bad!" Spike retorted.
"Then I could have just left you with Twilight."
"Oh yea...Thanks for saving me."
"No problem. I still feel really bad for them all."
"Whatever. Anyways, we should find someplace to rest." he said yawning.
We had later found a small area surrounded by rocks that was pretty flat. I set up a makeshift tent from the sticks and blankets I brought. I had made a campfire but didn't light it since we were both pretty tired. Spike went inside the tent, bundled up a blanket, and fell asleep. I laid my sword next my bed made from blankets. I climbed in and fell asleep as well exhausted from all the running and jumping I did.
I awoke before Spike did early in the morning. I heard some timberwolves nearby. I opened the tent to see where they were. One was staring at my face a foot from me.
"Oh, shit..." I said as I felt the handle of my sword behind me. I gripped it. I didn't mean to say that, but it just sorta slipped.
I pushed it back from the tent entrance fast and climbed out of the tent. There were three others of them. Spike woke up from all the growling and noises outside.
"Wha...what's going on?" he said as he rubbed his eyes and climbed out of the tent.
"Visitors..." he ran back inside the tent scared.
I charged them and picked one up in my left hand, carefully to avoid its attacks, and swiped another down in front of me. The other two were close by. One leered at me soon after I dispatched the first of them. He went to bite upon my neck. I swung the timberwolf I had holding in my left hand in front of me. He was bitten by his kin. I dropped it quickly then sliced them both with one strike. The three wolves remains floated and flung into the forest. I cut down the last which was about to run. Its pieces then followed where the others have gone. Spike saw me slay the wooden devils.
"Wow, they're right. You might be awesomer than Rainbow Dash."
"Don't say that to Rainbow, but I did have some lessons at Canterlot and Shining Armor even gave me one with some tips. Anyways, we have two days out here.some fruit and vegetables are in the tent if you want them." I walked back inside and ate a tomato with two carrots before stepping back out.
"You know I eat gems..." Spike said sounding annoyed.
"Then you are not going to eat for two days I guess. Now I'm off to get onto my schedule. Gotta stay in shape."
"Whatever, I am going back to sleep." Spike said as he returned to the inside of the tent.
I started climbing a tree to search for some water source so I could then have some drink during my exercise. I saw a small pond with a stream flowing into it nearby.It looked clean enough. I ran across the branch I was on and jumped to another. I hung on it with my forearms. It was a long way down from what I saw. I started to swing as I slipped to my free hand with the other holding the sword. I let go going forward fast. I landed on a lower branch near the pond. I was a good mile away from the tent. The pond was much bigger here.
I dropped down and scooped some water.I splashed my face reflecting on everything I had done. I then scooped up another and drank. Scoop after scoop I drank greedily. It replenished some of my energy. I had heard a deep growl on my left after a while of my water filling.
"Not something else..." I said as the growling approached.
A manticore jumped out from the trees. Its tail was dripping a purple liquid which was the poison that would keep me in a critical state if it broke my skin. I really wished I had brought my armor even if it wasn't too thick. I picked up my sword to the right of me and stood in a battle stance. The manticore growled and charged at me.
I jumped back as it swiped its tail low at my feet. I zoomed forward and ducked a claw strike before slicing its chest causing its blood to mist and spray over my clothes. It roared in pain as I struck again. It grabbed me with its huge paw trying to end its agony.
"Let me go!" I screamed.
Some green powder sprayed in its face as it slammed me on the ground and raised a paw up. It was temporarily blinded. I would thank my rescuer later. I quickly dashed up and stabbed my sword through a paw and sliced one of its legs deep. The manticore turned away and ran as fast as it could with its injuries. I puffed breath out and heaved it in. I turned behind me and saw a friendly Zebra.
"Oh no...Don't tell me you want me to rut you also..." I said worrying I was going to have to run.
"You have this all wrong. I made my trouble begone." Zecora had said.
"Oh, thank Celestia. I just made it out of Ponyville once I had come home too early. I have Spike here with me back at our small campsite .Anyways, thanks. I could have died there." I said.
"I was only helping out a friend. If you want, a bed I can lend." she responded with her rhyme.
"No thanks. I should be getting back to Spike now."
She said her good bye as I ran back to the campsite .I decided to stay there where it was safe.
"Oh, you're back." Spike said as he was sitting outside the tent.
"Yea, went to go get some water and ran into a manticore. Not the one that Fluttershy tamed."
"How did you even survive!?" Spike said excited.
"Well, Zecora threw some powder into its eyes and blinded it. I chased it off. I would have been dead if it wasn't for her."
"But, wouldn't she be like the other ponies?" Spike asked.
"No, she said she had gotten rid of the feeling. Probably with some potion."I responded and put my sword inside the tent. The manticore's blood had slid off while I ran so the blade shone again.
Spike and me stayed at the campsite for the rest of the day and talked till it was night. The campfire was lit using Spike's fire. About an hour or two later we put it out with some water and went to sleep.
I was first to awake and thought to myself. One more day to go. I went down to the pond fast and drank some water quickly before returning to the campsite and eating.
"I'm soooo hungry..." Spike complained.
"Well, tonight we can head out early if you want."
"Yes, that would be great!" he shouted. I felt sympathetic toward the starving dragon.
I started to pack the tent up. I pulled the sticks out and laid them nearby. I packed the blankets into the suitcase with my blood stained clothes that I changed out of the night before. I had eaten the little leftover food that was still there.Spike and me talked a bit. I started to feel a sharp pain in my back from where the manticore slammed me down.
When the moon rose high, directly above us. It told us it was midnight.
"Alright, Spike. Time to get going."
"Good I'm tired of being in this forest." Spike responded glad.
I slowly put on my bag and my back started to sting with pain again. I winced for a moment then ignored it. I picked up my suitcase in my left hand and my sword in my right hand. We moved around the rocks.
"Ya know...that manticore got me pretty good." I said as we were heading towards Ponyville.
"What do you mean? I don't see any cuts or bruises." Spike stated.
"It slammed me down on my back hard. I think I may be suffering internal damage."
"Well when we get back you gotta head to the hospital."
"I will once it is daylight. I have to sneak into Fluttershy's without disturbing her. But, first, I will help you get into the library unseen, undetected."
"Thanks, Amos. You are a good friend."he said
"Well I better get rid of this stuff so I won't cause you to be noticed."
"Good idea." Spike agreed.
We emerged at Fluttershy's and I spoke up in a quiet voice,"Keep down and hide in the brush. Don't speak a word."
Spike nodded as I pierced the ground with my sword and walked up to a vine covered wall. I held the big suitcase tight. I gripped the vines tight in my one open hand and planted my feet upon the wall. The vine held my weight. I started to walk up the wall using the hand that carried the suitcase, making my fingers crawl to move my hand, to allow my free hand to climb. Spike was below looking worried. I stopped next to a window. It was cracked to let the night air in. I slowly opened it more and eased the suitcase inside then carefully set it upon the floor. I turned to face Spike and held up one single finger which he nodded at. I slipped through the window and I mentally cursed. I was in Fluttershy's room. The door was open. I set my feet down quietly. I picked up the suitcase and slowly walked toward the door.
"No, Amos...Come back..." Fluttershy said in her dreams.
My movements froze up and I felt everything stop in my body. I could hear my heart pound slowly, very slowly. I regained my composure after a while. I felt like going to her side since I deemed her to be having a nightmare. I resisted the best I could, remembering my job. I went through the door and opened the door to my room which she had unlocked. Probably with the help of a unicorn. I then set down the suitcase and the bag I still kept on my back. The pain was relieved. I slipped through Fluttershy's door and made my way to the window. When I was in front of it I whispered to her quietly.
"I'll be back to you soon. I promise."
With that I wriggled through the window and gripped the vine. I swung a bit but slowly stopped. When I did I put the window in the state it was before. I jumped down and landed crouching. I walked to Spike and picked up my sword.
"She really misses me. Let's get you home fast."I said.
"Ok." he whispered and I picked him up since I could move quietly. I had left my shoes in my room.
I silently ran toward Ponyville. When we got to the town I heard some moaning through the walls of some houses.
"Stick to the shadows and stay quiet." I said and he nodded.
I set him down when we were in the cover of an alley. I pointed to Twilight's library which was about half a mile away. I whispered to him to stay in the small flowers since his bright colors would make him blend in. I stuck to shadows. I took alleys between houses and stayed in the darkness of awnings. Spike said we would meet in the bush next to the library sign when we got over there. I kept hearing moaning of the mares inside houses which made me uncomfortable. As I approached the bush a voice behind me stopped me. It sounded very familiar.
"Amos? Why are you out skulking?" I froze in my tracks and turned around from my lying position.
"Oh, its just you, Luna. I'm trying to get Spike into the library without being seen. He went almost two days without gems. All the mares here are in heat as you know."
"That would make sense." she said a little louder than me.
"Do you mind if I get back to what I am doing?" I asked her.
"Not at all. But, Fluttershy is taking your leave very harshly. You need to see her at once. I saw her dreams and it wouldn't be anything you would want them to." Luna stated then flew off silently.
"I will come for you, Fluttershy." I whispered to myself as I came to the bush. Spike was already there.
"What took you so long?" he asked in a low volume voice.
"Had a run in with someone. Not important. Let's get you in." I answered.
I crawled around the house trying to find someway in other than the door. There wasn't anything I could climb and the windows were all closed. I went back to the bush.
"No way in but the door." I whispered.
"Just get me in." Spike said.
"I got a good plan. Just once you are inside hide somewhere Twilight won't see you." I said and he nodded. I had some doubt this plan would work.
I stood up and Spike was wondering what I was doing. I knocked on the door hard and ran to the bush and hid.Twilight answered the door, her legs trembling.
"Hello? Is anyone there?" she said and I pushed spike in behind her and he walked quickly and silently under the low table.
"Whatever..." Twilight said as she returned inside. Spike was on his own now.
I stood out of the bush and walked from it. I decided that was enough sneaking. I ran with only my socks over the grass to the outskirts of Ponyville. My socks would barely attract any attention since I wasn't making any pounding except for the slap of my feet against the occasion cobblestone path. I saw Rainbow Dash on top of a cloud. I went under a tree to avoid her sight. I saw her head over to where I was running and land. She heard me. I decided it was now or never.And never meant getting raped by Fluttershy's closest friend. I ran as fast as I could which was about Rainbow Dash's average ground speed. She slowly turned my way when the sound of the grass moving fast under my feet reached her. I was already a good mile away. All she could see was my shadow. She saw me as I knew she would race towards me. She did. Rainbow Dash took off fast flying toward me. She was closing the distance at a good speed. I saw Fluttershy's cottage in the distance.I looked back behind me to be greeted with a Rainbow Dash talking.
"You're mine, Amos." she said dominately.
"To hell with me if I am." I flipped behind her. She didn't see that coming and stopped which took her a minute and flew right back around towards me. I ran to her.
"Giving up after that move?" Rainbow said intimidatingly.
"Nothing will stand between me and my goal." I jumped over her when she was about to grab me.
She took too long to stop and I ran fast to Fluttershy's cottage. I ran around the back and collapsed thinking I was safe. I was wrong.
"You aren't getting away from me." Dash said behind me.
"Dammit....Why did I have to run into that manticore in the Everfree..."
"You are pretty awesome to survive then...Just makes me wonder how awesome you are in bed..." She said walking to me.
"I'll be in the mouth of that manticore before I let you have me...I'm tired of running..." I stood feeling a lot of pain in my side.
Rainbow dash was hovering off the ground about to grab me. I ducked and grabbed her back hoof. I swung her around me building momentum up while I swung. I moved my arms low then let go when I made them go up. She flung high into the air. I started to climb the vine I used earlier. She recovered when I was half way up. Rainbow came down fast toward me but not too fast so she wouldn't ruin her prize, me, by alerting others. I got to the window and opened it fast. Thankfully it didn't creak. Fluttershy was still asleep dreaming in her nightmare. I looked at the clock, 3:32 A.M.. It was late. I looked back and saw Rainbow Dash almost to me. I wriggled through the window making a little noise. I felt a pull on my leg. I knew who it was.
"You aren't gonna get away from me."Dash said as she pulled on my pants leg with my teeth. She was slowly pulling me out as I held on for dear life.
I started to kick my leg that Rainbow held. She wouldn't let go. I saw a white bunny in front of me staring at me with a curious look. I put out an arm and mouthed, 'pull me in'. He started to ponder his options. He finally grabbed my hand and started to pull. I was already trying as hard as I could. I kicked hard once more and I felt no more pull. I slipped through the window fast and closed it. I gave a thumb up to the bunny who was obviously Angel. I slid into bed next to Fluttershy quietly. Rainbow Dash was at the window staring with wide eyes. She was probably thinking I had given myself up to Fluttershy. I waved to her to go. She flew off slowly.
I wrapped my arms around Fluttershy and pulled her close to me. She stirred awake.
"Wh-what?" she asked, not knowing what was going on.
"I'm back, Fluttershy." I said smiling.
"Amos, bu--"Fluttershy started.
I put my finger on her mouth and hushed her,"Just go back to sleep..." I wrapped my arms around her again and cuddled her. Her legs stopped shaking, heat was over and just in time. She closed her eyes and rested her head on my chest. I fell asleep just before she did. I was exhausted of all the work I did today.
It was quite a journey, but I arrived at a goal that was impossible in the past. I had finally put that behind me and developed my personality in my stay in Equestria. I wanted to get married, I did. I wanted to have a purpose for everyone, I did. I wanted to live, I did.
I was the Element of Sympathy, defeated Discord for the final time, and had some friends. I couldn't be more content. It only sweetened the deal when I heard my mother, Celestia, had locked my parents in jail for life. That taught me that justice does prevail.
All my friends had grown close to me, Fancy Pants made time for me to see him and vice versa. Some ponies contacted me if they needed help with something that requires fingers. They all made me feel loved. Surprisingly, Law and Order checked up on me while I was in Canterlot, visiting my mother. I never thought he would actually care to chat from what speaking in the badlands we had, but he loved to hold a conversation.
I remembered when the mares were in heat better, since my aging finally adjusted to the magic fields in Equestria. I fooled all the mares into thinking I left when I really just stayed and helped out Fluttershy.
Speaking of, we had been going steady for these three years, until I made the move to propose. I,ll never forget that blush, nor the happiness we both had. Many ponies didn't like the fact of a human marrying a pony, especially that it was in Canterlot Castle. Someone pulled through and appealed to the law though.
Thank the mother of mom, he was a supreme court judge, here in Equestria. That self-made proverb he used, was amazing.
If ponies married for the fun of it and not happiness, what is the point of marriage? Let any creature be content and pursue happiness in life, every pony or person deserves that right.
I couldn't thank him enough. The quote he did made me bring something to the attention of my mother, the Declaration of Independence. She made something similar and everypony appealed to it, actually thankful that I arrived and helped improve their government. I became so popular after, that many pony news teams came up to me, asking me what it was like on Earth, I, of course, only told few.
What, are you wondering why you didn't get the full story? Sorry, but it isn't easy to open a portal to Earth and toss a journal full of writing into it. I only have so much free time and enough room to write.
If you're so mad, I'll start another journal to send over and maybe more after that. But we'll save Fluttershy and Amos for another story.
Yep...
Another story. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You finally notice that the pages look ancient and are thick, made from rice and oats. The journal was made of parchment. As you close the book you see some writing on the back cover that you've never seen before. It reads:
Maybe I could get you to come into this land, if Mother would let me.
