There came a sudden noise of the door opening off in the distant, you merely ignored it, too entranced by the starry night to bother.
“Hey Anon.” You hear Twilight call out to you. Her hooves making little noise on the grass as she approaches you. “Enjoying the view I see?” She lies down next to you. You stay quiet, taking in the starry night in all its glory. “Luna sure does a good job doesn’t she? Though I do suppose human customs are different from my pony world.” Again you remain silent. Hoping to make you speak, she pulls out a telescope, “With this we can see for miles wouldn’t you agree?”
You finally decide to turn your head to look at her. The night seemed to make her beautiful compared to seeing her in the morning, you supposed it was the contrast of the colors. You simply nod your head and smile moving over to look through. “Here let me adjust that for you.” As she tries to move out of the way, she instead manages to tangle both of you up, the telescope and both of you falling on the grass, you lying on your back on the floor, and her on top of you.
“Oh I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean too…” She suddenly stops and looks at the stars to take in the beauty in front of her. She never realized that the night did truly look amazing tonight. She blushes as she ponders what to say. “You know, the stars remind me of the first time we met. It was dark when you found me, and you decided to bring me in without knowing who or what I was.” She pauses slightly. “Thank you.”
She shifts over your body, until her face is above yours; you aren’t sure what she is planning to do, until she places her muzzle under your chin, nuzzling you softly. You had to admit, she was very soft, never had you felt one of the pony’s fur ever since you met them one by one a new one would appear until there were six. Each of them knew each other apparently, but you didn’t know where they came from or who they were. But you have to admit it was very sweet having some company in your life for once.
Twilight had stop nuzzling you for a while, and had gone back to her telescope, you never realized her movement when she got off you. “And done. Hope you like the view I got Anon.” Her smile brightens towards you; you couldn’t help but smile back at her. You go over to see what she had set up, and through the lens you can see a meteor shower from far, no one had said there would be one today. You turn to her surprised, to notice her horn is lit up. She quickly notices and her horn loses its aura, she blushes and begins to play with her hooves. “Umm sorry, you weren’t suppose to see that.”
You turn back to the telescope and notice the meteor shower had stopped; you couldn’t help but feel angry a bit that she would bring your hopes up like that. But you couldn’t stay mad at her for trying to impress you. Her amount of magic surprised you, yet she was interested in science, which was a double bonus for you. You motion for her to come close, she hesitates, nervous that she made you mad, but finally decides to move towards you. As soon as she is within reaching distance, you lean forward and pull her into a hug, as you softly cry in her fur, wetting it.
“Are you crying? Did I do something wrong? I’m sorry I didn’t mean too, I’ll make it up I promise. Plea-“ You put a finger over her mouth to quiet her. Both of you lock eyes for a few seconds, and her eyes begin to tear up as well. “I think I understand now. You’re happy that I made the attempt aren’t you?” You simply nod your head and smile.
It was quite amazing what one little pony can do in your life, you never expected to find a purple unicorn outside your house one night, cold and afraid. You also never expected her to be intelligent and have magic to boost it, she was truly gifted and one of a kind. Sure she was a magical pony that can talk, use magic, and understand like a normal human being, but she just seemed different from everyone else, you couldn’t quite place it.
“Anon did you hear me?” You snap back to reality, and look at her caught off guard. “I’m getting tired,” she lets out a yawn, cute you thought, “can I go to bed?” You stand up and pick up the telescope and agree, it was rather late. She had already started to trot back to your house by the time you started to walk.
By the time you make it inside and place everything back to where they belong, you head over to Twilight’s room, making sure not to wake up the others; one wouldn’t dare to wake up Rarity especially. Once inside Twilight’s room, you notice her waiting by the bed. Unfortunately the beds you had, were far to large for the ponies to get in themselves, so you had to help them get up, though the peagasus and Pinkie didn’t seem to have a problem. You gently grab Twilight, making sure not to hurt her, the first time that happened was quite unexpected, apparently a cactus can’t do much when their on the floor and not rooted to anything.
Once she was in bed, she used her magic to pull the covers over herself, and snuggle inside. “Thank you Anon.” You begin to walk out, till she calls again. “Wait, I forgot something, can you come back?” You come back standing next to her. She quickly gets out of her covers and gives you a quick peck of the cheek. “Goodnight Anon.” And moves you out her room, you guessed she was embarrassed. She was a sweet girl; you begin to retire to your room with a light blush on your face.
You open your front door and step outside. The sun was bright, the birds were chirping, and the sky was clear. Wait, the sky was clear? The news said it be cloudy today, until you notice a lone cloud floating off to the distant. You had a feeling what that meant. You start to walk over to the cloud under the sun; luckily the morning had just started so it wasn’t too hot. Once you were close, you were able to make out a rainbow tail sticking out of the cloud, confirming your suspicion that it was Rainbow Dash. She hasn’t seemed to notice you yet. You decide to gently pull at her tail to indicate that you were there.
She bolts up into the air, and descends quickly. “Alright who’s the wise guy that…O hey Anon, I guess you’re the one that scared me. I mean I wasn’t scared, why would Rainbow Dash be scared?” She proudly hits her chest with one of her fore hoofs. You merely smile at her confidence with herself, and decide to point at the empty sky. “Skies clear, so it’s all good right?” You simply shrug with a questioningly manner. “Well I’m a pegasus, that’s my job, gotta make sure the clouds are clear, make rain, and all those weather duties.”
She seems to be confused like Twilight was when she first arrived. You decide to quickly explain how the weather works here on Earth, and that it might be best not to mess with it, who knows what could happen if she messed up. “Oh I see, sorry about that. I’m just so use to Equestria you know. Don’t tell anypony about this, but I’m getting rather lonely, I miss Ponyville.” She floats down next you, you decide to sit down, and she lies down against you, her fur was also soft. “I don’t know if the others have told you about the Cutie Mark Crusaders, but one of them is my number one fan, Scootaloo. She’s great, she asked me to be her sister, and now I’m not there to take care of her.” You can notice some tears falling off her face, you never thought she could cry, she always had that strong and cocky personality about her. Guess she had a sweet side she didn’t want to show. “And so now that I’m stuck here, I can't be there to take care of her, sure she has Applebloom and Sweetie Belle with her, but I gotta care for her also.” She sits up and pulls you into a hug, crying the whole time. You really never thought she had it in her to be so caring, she always had that tomboyish personality and look on herself, and she usually cared for herself before others.
Though if you remember correctly, she was Loyalty one of the Elements of something, you couldn’t remember, it’s only been a week since the ponies have been living with you. She broke away from you, and looks at you with a serious face and punches your shoulder with her fore hoof. “Tell any of the girls about this, and I’ll deny every single word you say. Got that?” You simply nod your head, not wanting to make her angry. When suddenly she nuzzles you on the cheek. “Good, umm thanks for you know…listening to me.” She is rubbing one of her fore hoofs with the other, and has a light blush on her face. “It means a lot to me.” She hugs you again and breaks away quickly.
She was actually cute at times, though she never wished to admit it. You’ve seen many girls try to pull off the multi color hair styles and none ever seemed to fit you thought, but Rainbow Dash was able to pull it off, you mostly blame the fact that she was a pony, but her cyan skin was also a good mixed to it. She was also quite the daredevil now that you recall all the stunts she said she has pulled off, something called the Sonic Rainboom? You weren’t sure how that worked, then again your living with six colorful ponies that popped out of nowhere, so you didn’t want to question their logic.
Finally you notice her poking you. “Hey Anon you there?” She continues to poke you. You lazily shoo her hoof away, smiling at her getting your attention. She was quite funny with her methods of attention grabbing. “Hay my bad, you seemed to have dozed off on me, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t alone.” She has a frown on her face, you notice this, and quickly play her hair. She seemed to have like it, but quickly put an angry face. “Hey what’s the big idea?” She stands on her hind legs and puts her fore hoofs as to fight. “Let’s go bud, I can handle you!” She has a smirk on her face; this is exactly what she wanted. You decide to play along, and stand on your knees and put up your fits.
Both of you throw playful blows at each other, not intending to injure the other of course, until she decides to tackle you. Both of you start rolling on the floor, seems like she put on effort into that tackle. Both of you stop rolling at some point, with her on top on you, and she nuzzles you again, giggling. You never heard such a cute giggle in your life. She breaths out, “Thanks Anon, I really needed that, I suppose I just need to make the best of life sometimes, and hope for the best for others even when I’m not there.” She gets off and you and flies slightly above ground. “Gotta stretch my wings, don’t want any cramps later when I practice flying later today.” She looks ready to take off, before she descends down to your face, and kisses you on the cheek. “TELL NO ONE!” And bolts into the clear sky. She sure is very shy about the cutesy wootsy stuff you thought, you pick yourself off the floor, and begin to walk back to your house to see who else has gotten up, it should only be the afternoon still you figured.
You finally arrive back at your house and notice the time for the first time for the day. It was about eleven, about to turn into the afternoon. That didn’t bother you much, though there was less time left in the day then you expected. Anyways once you enter your house, you notice the pink pony, Pinkie Pie, setting up the house in colorful colors.
“Oh hi Anon, don’t mind me, I’m just getting the party ready for later.” Pinkie had explained quickly and cheerfully. “Its going to be super duper, aren’t you excited?” This was probably the fifth party this week, and it only Tuesday. You were getting quite tired of them, but her friends didn’t seem to mind. You shake your head indicating no to her, you weren’t able to keep up with all these parties like they could. Her eyes go wide as if in a puppy eyes manner. “But why?” You couldn’t stand seeing any of the ponies look like this, always made you feel bad, but you tried to explain to her that humans and her kind of ponies are different in energy.
It wasn’t that you were old; you were twenty-four, so you were still quite young, but you never got out much honestly. She was quite saddened that you didn’t want to party, and with that everything was picked up right away; you didn’t know how she was able to do it. Twilight did say something to not question her unusualness; she couldn’t find an answer to it. Once Pinkie had gathered up everything she began to trot to her room it seemed. Did you really make her that sad? You decided you wanted to rest first before you went to confront the pink pony.
You lie down on the couch and try to sleep, but find yourself unable to after twenty minutes. You blame yourself for making Pinkie sad, you shouldn’t have done that you thought. You get up and begin to walk to her room, and begin to open the door, to find it locked. You knock on the door, “Go away!” you hear from inside. You begin to knock again and you hear a click indicating the door was open. You finally open the door, and see a not so bright pink pony in the corner. Her hair wasn’t puffy either it seemed, but instead straight down. To be honest it kinda creeped you out seeing the ever happy pony do a one eighty turn.
“Are you here to scream at me again Anon?” She turns her head towards you, with one of the saddest faces you will ever see. Was she accusing you of screaming at her? You never did, you just told her no. Though you did suppose it was your fault she is acting like this, you couldn’t think of anything to do, but hug her. You walk up to her, as she stares at you wondering what you’re doing, until finally you hug her, brushing her hair with your hand. After some time you feel something fluffy hit you in the head but only for a moment. “Oh Anon, I can't stay mad at you.” She begins to return the hug. “I suppose I’ve should have asked if it was fine with you first instead of doing things on my own accord, I’m just so use to my own world where everyone is happy.”
You begin to break off the hug and notice she is wearing one of those goofy glasses that has a nose and moustache. You couldn’t help but laugh at her randomness. First she was all happy setting up a party, then she is sad at not being able to celebrate, and now she is random. No wonder people loved her back in her hometown; she could put a smile on just about anyone it seems. You decide to pick her up and put her on your shoulders, and begin to walk to the living room. She decides to sing a song about how you’re the best human she will ever meet and is lucky to have met you. Her songs were quite catchy at times. You two begin to set up the room, making it bright with lots of colors, some of which you didn’t know existed, Pinkie really was the party pony after all.
Once everything was done, the other five ponies came into the house to celebrate, celebrate what you wonder? But that didn’t matter, you were just happy and laughing the whole time this happened. It has been forever since you last had a good time; prom was probably the last time it happened, though you didn’t have a date, your friends made up for it, but whatever happened to them you didn’t know. Soon it became ten at night no one seemed to have noticed the time go by, guess the party was just that much fun. You began to escort everypony back to their room, leaving Pinkie last. Once the first five were in their rooms sleeping, you decide to go over to Pinkie’s room.
“Hey Anon, did you have a super time? I know I did, there was everything thanks to you. We should throw more parties, but umm that’s if you’re up for it of course; I forget I’m in a different reality sometimes.” She smiled at you as you sat down on her bed. You couldn’t blame her, she always seems to forget things, that’s probably due to her hyper activeness and possibly all the sugar she has ever eaten in her life. You swear for such a party animal, pony, you were surprised she was able to keep a slim figure like the rest of her friends; she must have had a secret. At this moment you could feel something fluffy hugging you. “You’re the best Anon, don’t forget that for me please?” She looks at you eyes wide. You smile, and promise that you wouldn’t, as you play with her hair which goes down, scaring you, but then puffs up back in a second. “Yay then, love you Anon.” As she kisses you on the cheek and hugging you again, falling asleep.
You stand up and begin to walk out her room. You were quite glad she was the third pony to appear to you, you weren’t sure if her positive emotions could survive in this world sometimes. Also these ponies were quite affectionate it seemed, you were glad, you never got any attention back at school, it made you feel like someone.
A little warning I suppose. I'm no good at writing Applejack's speech, so I wrote her normal, if anyone wishes to correct me then go ahead in the comments or PM me, and I'll try to fix them when I can. So sorry if you were expecting her to talk correctly.
Today was the start of a new day, though you have been thinking that a lot. To be honest you haven’t done much during the week but spend time with these ponies. They were still a mystery to you, popping out of nowhere. You walk outside, and see Twilight studying plants here on Earth, trying to compare them back to Equestria, Rainbow Dash snoozing on a cloud, and Pinkie…walking up your wall? You weren’t going to bother, since you heard a thud from far. Never has a noise been made before, so you decide to check it out.
The noise seems to be coming from the nearby forest you lived next too. Probably some random animal got trapped and is trying to get out. Once arriving there you were right about one thing. It was an animal, but instead she was kicking the trees, and seemed tired from doing it. You couldn’t mistake the orange coat and hat if you wanted too, seems like Applejack was getting some exercise done. You begin to walk up to her, but decide to wait till she notices you. Until you step on a twig is when she finally hears you.
“Howdy Anon, what brings you here?” She lowers her hat to greet you. For a country pony she sure was polite you thought. Anyways you point at the tree she was kicking. “Oh that? Just me practicing my applebucking when I get back to Equestria, gotta be in top shape to work on the farm again.” She smiles proudly at you. You look at her with a questionably look. “My family owns an apple farm. Me, and my brother are the ones that manage it the most, course we live with Granny Smith, but she is too old to help us. And Apple Bloom, my younger sister, but she is off normally hanging out with the Cutie Mark Crusaders.”
These ponies had farms also? They seemed quite human just not human looking, well you supposed they could have been half human half pony, but you couldn’t remember the term for it, you never bothered to. You simply nod your head in agreement with what she said, understanding. It seemed like a normal choice no matter what world. “Hey sugarcube, mind if I tell you something?” You look at her waiting. “Well I just wanna say you remind me of my big brother, Big Macintosh, he a big fella that don’t speak much, and well honestly you are like that. Now I wouldn’t go saying you are a big brother to me, but more like a care taker sorta. Get what I mean partner?” She blushes slightly.
So far Applejack seemed to be the cutest when she blushed, the redness on her cheeks worked well with her skin. You couldn’t help but blush yourself having thought that. “Don’t tell me your blushing too Anon. That’s just mighty silly of you.” She trots up to you; she was probably the tallest of them all from what you can tell. “So uhh, mind taking off my hat?” You pause, looking at her. “It’s fine really, I want you to wear it, and I trust you enough.” You begin to take off her hat and wear it. You look at her for approval. “See you look cute already.” You quickly take the hat off, and blush, it’s been a long time since any girl has told you that, and you didn’t want to remember.
She notices that she did something wrong, and takes the hat away from you and puts it back on herself. “I’m sorry Anon, honestly didn’t know something was wrong.” She begins to trot back to her tree from earlier and “bucks” it as you recall her saying. “You know Anon, if we weren’t so different, and back in own place I just might say a few things to you, but that ain’t the case right now. All that matters is you’re taking care of me and my friends. I couldn’t ask for a better caretaker.” She stops her exercise and lies down on the grass to relax.
She seemed so peaceful, and what did she mean by “say a few things to you?” “Hey Anon, uhh mind laying down next to me?” A little nervousness in her voice. You decide to listen to her and sit down. “Thanks sugarcube, but I hate to be asking too much but if you don’t mind, starching my head a bit? Your human hands are better at it then our pony hooves.” You begin to starch her head like she asked, her fur was rougher compared to the others, it probably was due to the fact that she was a country pony. Honestly you never really met a country person before; she was the first one if that counts.
“You know, Anon? I never told any of my friends how I got my hat. I’m going to be honest with you cause I reckon we don’t have much time left here on Earth.” You had a guess where this was going, but you didn’t mind. “It all started when I was young, older then my sister’s age; my parents had decided to go on a trip to visit our cousins. My dad left his hat behind saying I was in charge till they came back. Big Mac didn’t want to run the farm due to his lack of talking. About a month had passed and they hadn’t returned, Granny Smith had a feeling what happened. Ever since then I’ve worn the hat, swearing to myself that I’ll never lose it, cause then it make my dad mad.”
Wow to think a pony you had just meant was sharing you with all this, and you only knew her for about a week. Were ponies just this open or was she willing to trust you that much? You couldn’t tell, since she didn’t seem to be crying, she was a tough gal alright, you admire that. “Anyways thanks for your time Anon, I didn’t mean to waste it, I just wanted to get that off my chest.” She stands back up and nuzzles you before breaking off. “I wish these trees of yours had apples in them, or we be having some good apple treats to be eating.” As you’re about to get up, the next thing you know, her lips are locked with yours, she quickly breaks off. “Gosh I’m sorry sugarcube, I don’t know what came over me,” you stood there shocked, not knowing how to react, till you world went black, but you heard one final sentence, “No hard feelings right?”
You finally awake back in your house. What happened? Last thing you remember was Applejack was telling you her hat history, and then the world went black. And now you have a headache.
Finally awake from your passed out state you begin to look around. You quickly realize you were back in your room. You began to wonder what happened and how you ended up here but your train of thought quickly changed when you heard a knock on the door.
“Anon are you awake dear? It’s me Rarity, I’m coming in.” The door begins to light up and creaks open showing the white unicorn Rarity. “Ahh you are awake, good, I’m glad.” How long were you out for? You sit up in your bed to relax a bit, though the headache didn’t help with that. “Applejack said you knocked yourself out in the forest by accident and she dragged you here.”
Oh yea, you were with Applejack, and she was talking and then blackness. It seemed like a blur to you. You must have hit yourself hard with the tree or something.
“Is there anything you need dear? I am the element of generosity back in Equestria so I must help you.” She smiles and winks at you. “Of course, I won’t bother getting dirty, I am a lady after all, and a lady must do everything with the upmost precision.” Oh right, one of the few things you disliked about her, being so ladylike. It didn’t bother you much, but there are just some things she outright refuses to do no matter what.
You motion to her what you were thirsty and needed something to drink, you also thought about getting some medicine for your headache but you weren’t sure if the ponies can tell the difference. She of coursed agreed and went in search of water. Rarity wasn’t a bad pony or anything, you just didn’t like the lady status about her, and everything had to be perfect.
One of the first things she did actually when she first entered your house was starting to redecorate your living room, saying the color clashes making it look tacky, and that simply wasn’t this season’s theme. Whatever that meant, not like anyone passes by your house, especially considering you live in the middle of nowhere. Finally Rarity came back holding the glass of water with her magic. Though the one thing she had for being ladylike was her precision, she did everything with the best care that she can muster. That was something you can appreciate.
“Here you go darling; I made sure the temperature was just right for someone in your condition. Why, you remind me of taking care of my little sister when she gets sick.” She had a sister also? The one up above only knew how she treated her. “Now that I say that though, it seems like I have treated Sweetie Belle quite differently then I use too. I don’t really give her any free will when she is around me, but she is so young and experimenting still, she could mess up a wonderful project I could be working on, or break a very expensive item I’ve bought. Bits don’t come easy you know.”
If “bits” were their currency then you can agree, money was hard to make at times. You made enough to get by and have a little extra for personal stuff, but just barely. You simply nod your head understanding how younger siblings work. You never had a sibling but plenty of your friends did, and they didn’t seem that great.
“Do you have your own brother or sister Anon?” She questions you; you shake your head no. “Oh my how dreadful, I wouldn’t know how my life would be without one. I may complain a lot about her, but she is family and I will sacrifice anything to make sure she is alive. Even if it means I have to learn how to wield a sword, most unladylike, but imagine the clothes I can make, and the titles, titles are important you know.” She was very formal and actually taking up a blade to protect her sister? Very unladylike but brave, something everyone should have, though you shouldn’t be thinking that, you aren’t very brave yourself.
“It’s very hard living by yourself if I may say. The Boutique can be rather lonely at times, especially when your only company is a cat.” She saddens a bit, and gasps. “You don’t think I’ll turn into a crazy cat pony do you? That would just be the WORST. POSSIBLE. THING!” You couldn’t help but laugh in your head a bit, she was overdramatic at times, but she couldn’t help it. As well you couldn’t help but feel her cuddle next to you. She was softly crying into you, her makeup a little ruined. “Do you think I’ll be lonely for the rest of my life? I want to be able to find my prince charming and live happily ever after.” Her voice full of sadness.
It simply broke your heart seeing someone, anyone, in a state like this. You begin to hug her, and explain to her your love stories, nothing romantic or anything, but the ups and downs that you have encountered throughout your life. Your story seems to have made her stop crying as she began to clean herself up; somehow she had pulled out a box of tissues. You weren’t sure what was making her sadder, her self-doubt or your story. You were pretty sure it was the latter.
“My Anon, that’s just dreadful, I never knew you humans could be so awful at times. Though at times you humans are wonderfully nice also, such as a gentleman yourself.” She began to pull away so she can use your mirror. “I know I am a pony, and you are a human, meaning we are two different species that will probably never interact ever again. But I wish to know what you Anon, think of me. I know it may sound like a lot, but I wish to know your opinion.” She stands in front of you looking with big eyes.
You had to agree you two are from different species and it may have seemed weird, but you couldn’t resist thinking that each one had a certain look to them, Twilight was cute, Rainbow Dash was tough as well as Applejack, and Pinkie Pie was crazy, but Rarity was different. You weren’t sure why, but to you she was quite beautiful, you blamed the lady status about her. The white fur and purple mane would seem odd for a human, but for a pony it seemed quite normal. As well as her eyes, those caught your attention the most. You try to explain to her how you felt.
“You really think so Anon?” You nod your head. “Thank you thank you thank you. That means so much to hear from you Anon. Which is why I made this for you.” She trots over to your closet and opens it up; using her magic she pulls out a suit. “So what do you think? I was able to use some cloth you had lying around to make this. It took me a while but I got it down right.” The suit looked like one of those that people would wear to prom or some fancy dinner/dance. You couldn’t believe it. You ask how she was able to do it. “Don’t you worry none dear, it’s on the house, all you need to worry about.”
It was so much to take in; you weren’t sure what to think really. Till you felt her lips connect with yours. “Consider that a bonus dear, now back to bed with you, you need plenty of sleep to recover.” With that she tucks you back in bed, puts the suit away, turns off the light and walks out. “Hmm humans and ponies do kiss quite differently; I thought that Soap Opera would have done the trick. Oh well maybe I need to watch more.”
You had to admit yesterday was a pretty weird day. First you’re talking to Applejack, then you’re knocked out can’t remember why, next Rarity is taking care of you, and finally kisses you. These ponies culture must be very different from what you’re use to. But hopefully today will be better, you had planned to spend the day with Fluttershy, you hadn’t seen her all week. You supposed it’s because she is still shy to be around people she don’t know. Or rather in a different world being cared by a different species that never existed in her world.
From what you understood, she was caretaker on her planet, but she cared for animals, and tended to live by herself. Almost sounded like you, the whole living alone part at least. You two didn’t really connect well at first; she kept running away from you as well as hiding her face however way she could. You had to admit, the way she hid her hair made her look cuter, you never thought a girl that hide her behind hair would make her cute. Maybe it was the sounds she would make every time she got scared.
You began to get ready to start the day, as you begin to head out you meet up with Rarity and Pinkie, asking them if they knew where Fluttershy was. They both were too occupied with your television to tell you, as they pointed outside. You begin to step outside, to see Rainbow Dash and Applejack hoof wrestling to see who the strongest is. In your opinion both were evenly match. Not too far away from them, Twilight was taking notes on some nearby plants growing, thinking she had the best answer to your question you walked over to ask where Fluttershy could be. Twilight being the smart one of the six, told you exactly how to get to her. You didn’t really need all the extra info but you decided to listen either way.
You started to make your way to edge of the forest; Twilight had said Fluttershy had ventured inside to look for some animals to be with. Which would make sense since Fluttershy was quite one with nature. You couldn’t help but imagine her as being sort of a hippie. Maybe she was back in her world, or maybe everyone there is like that, considering they were all magical ponies that can talk, must be a very low number of carnivores there.
Once you had passed some trees and climbed over wild growth you finally hear Fluttershy’s voice, so soft. “There you go little one, it took me some time to find it, but here are the fruits you wanted.” You were guessing she was talking to one of the animals that lived here. You began to move slowly as not to disturb whatever was happening. Until finally you were able to spy the yellow and pink pesgasus. She seemed so calm being at peace with her animals. “Hello Anon, my woodland friends told me you were here.” She begins to stand up and look at you.
At first you can tell right away she was covered in dirt, concerned you walk over to her to clean her up. She gently pushes you away, “Sorry Anon, but I’m just keep getting dirty, no point in cleaning now just to clean up again later.” Understanding what she meant, you left it at that, though you still wondered why she was covered in dirt for. “Is something wrong Anon?” Her eyes on you, not paying attention to the gathering animals. You simply point at her. “Oh the dirt? It’s a long story really. I heard a squirrel calling for help, and when I got here, I found its tail was caught underneath a log, and no one was around to help, the poor fella couldn’t move. And I wasn’t going to stand by as it starved to death. You know what I mean right Anon?”
At this point, her eyes began to well up to tears as she began to cry, and soon most of the animals began to crowd around her trying to comfort her, some even began to growl at you having brought up bad memories. “It’s okay little ones, Mama’s fine, really. Anon is a friend.” Soon enough the animals backed off giving you two room again, But from your own knowledge you can’t say you’ve been in that kind of situation before.
You shake your head no. A small gasp escapes her, “Oh my really? Didn’t you have any friends?” Both of you had realized what she had said, you weren’t really offended by it but she clearly thought that was mean of her. “Oh my, I’m sorry, that was rude of me, and I shouldn’t have said that, everyone has friends. I mean even I have friends and I never thought I would.” She looks down at the ground. Ashamed of what she had said. You simply walk over to her and hug her hoping to calm her down, which seems like it was working.
You can feel her head lift up as she gently places it on your shoulder next to your head. And something you didn’t expect, as she wrapped her wings around you. They were soft and gentle like a mother’s touch, it felt comforting. You haven’t felt this way in the longest time, it was such a wonderful feeling, and you couldn’t help but cry a few tears. “Shh, it’s alright Anon, everything is fine.” She begins to rub one of her fore hooves on your back. Both of you sat there for a couple of minutes as the animals watched, some even cried at having seen a rare moment.
“Feel better Anon? I hope you do.” You look at her, with a big smile on your face and nod your head. Today was going to be a good day. “Good, I’m glad; would you like to walk with me through the forest a bit?” Again you simply nod your head. She nuzzles you softly on the cheek and gives a light peek. Full blush on her face, she turns around a picks up a basket with her wing before you two started your walk.
Finally the weekend came. Yesterday made the week worth it as you spent the day with Fluttershy. She was truly a wonderful pony. True to her name, she is shy, but that was a given. Though once you start to get to know her she isn’t so shy, but that didn’t bother you. As you get off your bed, you can hear whispering outside, telling each other to hush and listen. Only problem was you were listening too.
After a while you begin to hear footsteps, though clearly from the sound they were making it was actually hooves. You begin to creep back to your bed hoping to not disturb what they were planning. You quickly get into bed and pretend to sleep, as the door creaks open.
“Is he still asleep? I hope he is, I didn’t want to wake up so early just to have him sleep through this.”
“Quiet RD, you might wake him up if you keep yapping like that.”
“Girls quiet, let’s just get this over with.” The door creaks open some more. “Ready, one, two, three!”
“SURPRISE!” You hear six voices scream at you. Going with it and not expecting how loud they would be, you begin to toss in your bed and look to see the six ponies that have been with you for nearly a month.
Pinkie was the first to approach you. “Good morning Anon, and thank you so much for taking care of us. It’s been almost a month since we first met, time sure does fly huh?”
Rainbow Dash came in after. “Yea Anon, you’re such an awesome guy, I mean uhh, you girls didn’t hear that. But thanks for everything Anon, we wouldn’t be here without you.”
Applejack came next. “Howdy Anon, I know a lot has been said between us and I just want to thank ya from the bottom of my heart for being the person you are.”
Rarity followed suit. “This month has simply been a wonderful time darling, while its no spa relaxation it is much better then living out in the wild.”
Fluttershy slowly came in. “Umm, thank you Anon, I’m sorry I was shy from the start but now I know you’re someone I can trust with my life.”
Finally Twilight came. “Hey Anon, I’m quite glad I was the first one you saved, I don’t think I would have survived that night, and I never would have joined up with the my friends, we probably would have ended up the same.”
To think already it’s been a month since you found Twilight, and slowly the others appeared one by one. It felt like a blessing to finally have company for once. You couldn’t help but begin to cry after what you have done for them, they put together what they could to celebrate their savior. They all noticed this and began to close in on you as they hugged you, leaving you in the center. Each one felt different from the other.
Applejack’s forelegs strong and firm. Rarity’s delicate but precise hooves. Rainbow Dash’s swift legs. Fluttershy’s motherly care. Pinkie Pie’s energetic energy. And Twilight’s knowledgably hooves. Each one of them made you feel safe, that nothing wrong could possibly happen. Until suddenly a crash is heard outside.
Everyone gasped and separated a bit from hearing the noise. It wasn’t too far from your house either, maybe a five minute walk. The six ponies began to look at each other wondering what to do, muttering and chatting. You decided you were going to protect them; you didn’t care what it was. You get out of your bed and begin to make for the door. Before you can get to the front door to get outside, it slams open white light entering the through the door.
A powerful voice came through. “Who are you and what have you done to the Elements?” You couldn’t see who or what was talking since the light was blinding you, but you could tell the voice belong to a female ruler. “I will not ask again, where are the Elements of Harmony?” Finally a figure walked into the house, but it wasn’t a person, but another pony, though this one stood at about your height.
“Wait, Princess Celestia, what are you doing here? I thought we were stuck in this place.” Twilight had popped out, soon the rest follow behind.
“Of course not my little ponies. Why would I not look for the Elements of Harmony? Equestria has not been the same without you six.” This “Celestia” wore a harden look. “But I do wish to know why this one was holding you captive.” She points her horn at you, she was a tall unicorn.
“He wasn’t holding us captive.”
“He’s one our side Celestia.”
“Please Princess, let’s be reasonable shall we?”
“Ohh, please don’t hurt him.”
“Princess you’re making a big mistake.”
“Don’t kill him.”
“And why should I believe you six? You’ve all been gone for nearly a month, Discord reigns chaos in half the country. And you expect me to let this one live?”
“He took care of us while we were here, he could have easily turned us away but he didn’t. Besides he has learned a lesson from each of us, hasn’t he girls?”
“Yeah, I told him about my loyalty to Scoots, and how I should be there for her like a sister, but instead I’m stuck here. First thing I do when we get back and kick Discord back to stone I’m helping Scootaloo with her flying.” Rainbow Dash’s Loyalty necklace appeared around her. “Woah where did this come from?”
“I showed him how to have a wonderful time and put a smile on his face. Since it’s my job as the happiest pony to ever live, I have to make everyone I meet happy or else their life is all sad.” Pinkie Pie’s Laughter necklace appeared. “Ooh, magic.”
“Ah told him about my family history and how he was like a brother to me. Somethings I have never told others cause of how sad it is, but now I ain’t afraid of telling my friends.” Applejack’s Honesty necklace appeared. “Woah nelly, didn’t expect that.”
“I showed him what it means to be generous even in a place where you aren’t known. By using some leftover cloth he had here I was able to put together a suit for him to wear.” Rarity’s Generosity necklace appeared. “Finally a decent attire to wear here.”
“I showed him, that showing kindness is the best way to get to know someone, whether or not you tend to befriend them, as least you showed them your kind.” Fluttershy’s Kindness necklace appeared. “Oh my.”
“And I showed him, how strong friendship is, that in the end its magical no matter what you do, you know you two are meant to be friends.” Twilight’s Magic tiara appeared. “We showed him the Elements of Harmony while we were here didn’t we?”
“Yes my student, that was the purpose of this trip actually. I had sent you all here to show this human what its like to have friends and to be kind to one another, laugh with each other, be loyal to someone else, show honesty, and be generous, so that in the end its magic.”
“So you had this planned out? So Equestria isn’t in any danger?” Twilight wasn’t sure how to feel.
“Exactly young one, but now this human knows the Elements he can once again begin a new life.” Celestia began to walk out, and this is the first time you noticed wings on her, she had both wings and a horn, how was that possible?
The seven of you began to follow her out, where a portal was made. “I am sorry my little ponies, but we must go now, I can no longer support having you six gone any longer.”
“This is lame Celestia and you know it, you can’t just expect us to leave Anon behind can you?” Rainbow Dash didn’t want to leave, she cared too much.
“I’m sorry Rainbow, but the time has come for you six to return, and do not worry I have plans for Anon later, he will be in good hands, believe me.”
“I don’t want to argue with you Princess, but ah hope you’re right about this.” Applejack begins to walk up to you. “Ah suppose I’ll see you later.” But instead of hugging she instead puts her lips against yours, and she took off for the portal. “Ya’ll saw nothing.” She screamed.
“Seems like Applejack has been learning from me. Anyways, I want to thank you Anon, for caring for us and even with putting up with my attitude when I first came here.” Rarity hugs you and starts for the portal. “Oh and Anon, I’m sure you will find someone to love like in those amazing romance shows you humans watch.”
“I’m so sorry Anon, I had a blast staying here with you, I wish I could’ve stay longer; imagine all the parties we could have thrown. Actually you probably wouldn’t have liked that too much after a while.” Pinkie gives you a reality defying hug as she bounces towards the portal. “Ooo by the way there’s cake in the fridge for you.”
“Hi Anon, I just want to say thank you again, I hope that maybe we can see each other again one day, I would be happy to go through the forest again with you.” Fluttershy wraps you around in her wings again giving you the motherly feel. “I hope everything goes well.” She disappears through the portal.
“I don’t wanna go anywhere, but the Princess has a point, maybe we can race each other one day, I promise I won’t use my wings like last time. Anyway take care of yourself.” Rainbow nuzzles swiftly before exiting the portal.
“Well seems like I’m the last one, very strange I’ve been last a few times today. Anyways, I’m thankful for the things you provided with me and my friends while we stayed here, and I hope that you enjoyed our company while we were here; please don’t ever forget about us, we won’t forget about you Anon.” Tears formed in her eyes, as well as yours. Today seemed so perfect when you woke up and now this “princess” was taking them away. Maybe it was for the better, they did teach you so much about friendship, maybe you can start all over. “Don’t forget Anon.” Twilight stepped through the portal.
You sat there on the grass not moving, still feeling sorrow at having lost your only friends. Until you heard the Princess walk up to you. “Don’t worry Anon, I know how you feel, I felt the same when I had to banish my sister long ago cause of the dark energy that took over her. I felt alone, much like you did, but now you won’t anymore. But I’ll make you a promise Anon, you won’t know what it is until I start it.” You weren’t sure if this was a good thing, or a bad thing, all you did was nod your head. “Good, next week you should notice something.”
The Princess finally went through the portal herself. You sat on the grass for possibly half an hour, motionless. But now wasn’t the time for that. Now was the time to start a new life, a new you.
A week later
A week later
A knock was heard at the door; you begin to approach the door. Through the peephole you see no one, and decide to ignore it, until a knock is heard. You decide to open the door, to see…
This is probably a waste of an update, but I just want to make it, just incase people don't know or find this story first somehow. This story has a sequel. Those that use to favorite know I had cancelled it due to life problems I had, but now I can say that I am back to writing. And has had at least 4 updates when this chapter came out. So again just want people to know there is a sequel for this story for whoever is interested.
