A Very Different Pony (Part 4) (Stompy Slippers)

>You are Anon, and this is the longest walk to the park you have ever had in your entire life.

>Your small purple companion has deemed it necessary to hide behind you the entire way here, and she keeps clipping the back of your heels with her front hooves.

>You would be upset about this, but you are aware of how big this must be for her, after all, she doesn't seem to do the whole "socialising" thing very often.

>Neither do you.

>You only ever leave the house when you have to, which isn't very often at all, to be honest.

>Suddenly, your thoughts are interrupted.

>"A-anon.. Can we go home now.."

"Stomp, we're almost there, we can't turn back now. Besides, look, the gate is just over there."

>"O-oh.. Okay then.."

>Jesus Christ, she sounds nervous.. Wait, is she fucking shivering?

>Well don't you feel like a d-

>Brain, I swear to fucking God, shut the fuck up for a second, I got this.

"Trust me, you'll love it when we get there, I know a good spot where nop0ny will bother you."

 

>About time.

>You have arrived at your destination, the park.

>When you first got here, Stompy was on edge, big time. She almost started crying when she saw how many other p0nies were walking around.

>Luckily, you knew a few quiet spots, from when you first arrived here.

>It helped relax your nerves a lot after you were abruptly torn from your homeworld, and dumped here.

>You found a large tree which is lopsided on the top, so the branches, and leaves provide a nice shaded area to escape from the sun, and in many cases, bad situations.

>No use dwelling on the past, anyhow.

>At least Stompy has calmed down now. Hell, she even looks happy.

>She's currently sitting with her forehooves across your legs, and you have your hands behind your head.

"So I take it I am forgiven, for dragging you out of the house?"

>"Mmmhm.."

>"I'm sorry for not coming out sooner.. It's just.. I don't mix with other p0nies very well.. And I-"

"Don't worry about it, I'm just glad that you're coming out of your shell a little bit more. We should do this sort of thing more often. It would do us both good."

>"Thanks, Anon."

>You look down, just to notice a very relaxed pony close her eyes, and nuzzle into your leg, as the sun goes down.

>You lean back, and let out a yawn, as you watch the sun set in the distance.

>Stompy has started to open up a bit more, you're getting diabetes from the amount of cuteness she sometimes emits, and to be honest, just having her around is generally improving your life.

>You close your eyes, with a smile on your face, and fall asleep in the comforting shade of a tree, with your best friend.

>Today has been perfect.
