Trains

>Day Trains in Equestria

>You are Anon

>You wake up and commence the designated morning protocol

>You shit and shower, but you could never bring yourself to shave

>You love your beard too goddamn much

>You eat a bowl of off brand Generic-O's and wait for the daily fetish guess

>It never comes

"She's planning something..." you grumble to yourself in your gruff voice

"I just know it."

>You leave your house and start your trek to work

>You walk through town, waving to the various ponies that you pass

>Fluttershy is still nowhere to be seen

>You arrive at the train station and wave at the ticket vendor, a young stallion fresh out of college

"How's it goin' Yes Man?" you greet him

>"Well hey Anon, I'm doing just fine!" he waves excitedly

>Of all the ponies you'd met, he was the cheeriest

>No matter the situation, he was always smiling and happy

>Hell, even his cutie mark was a happy face [spoiler]pic related[/spoiler]

>Sometimes, you wonder if you're his only friend

>Nobody else could stand being alone with him for more than 5 minutes

>"I do have a bit of bad news though." he says "The west rails are down, something about having to be rebuilt. But that just means less passengers and an easier day! Isn't that great?"

>Every time he has bad news, you swear his smile almost falters

>You nod and smile at him

"I'll see ya later Man, the passengers are waiting." you tell him as you walk away

>"Alright Anon, you have a great day conducting the train!" he tells you

>You think you see his smile droop a little, but you think nothing of it as you enter the conductor's cabin of the train

>You don your blue and white striped cap, and blow the train's whistle to signal departure

>The last few ponies scramble on board and you depart from the station towards Canterlot

>You sit in relative silence for the first 30 minutes of the trip, but a knock on the door interrupts your thoughts of Rarity's hot, marshmallow ass

>You turn to see the door open and a steward stands there

>"Mr. Anon, I've got a passenger who said she wanted to see how the train works, can she come in?" he asks you

>You smile, you loved it when you got to talk with a curious colt or filly

"Of course, bring her in." you tell him as you stand and brush some coal dust off your shirt

>He waves in a pony and your smile instantly disappears

"Fucking Fluttershy" you grumble

>She smile at you and trots in

>The rest of the trip is filled with fetish guessing and attempts at raping you

>After suffering through two trips with the yellow rapist, you arrive back at the Ponyville train station

>You step off of the train and let out a sigh of relief

>No more Fluttershy at least until tomorrow

>Yes Man waves at you and you approach the ticket booth

"How's it goin' Yes Man?" you ask with a smile

>"Well Anon, I actually had a not so great day." he tells you

"What? Aww come on, you always have good days!" you playfully punch his arm

>"Anon..." he says

>"Do you know what it's like to be constantly cheery? To have no friends, because everypony thinks you're annoying?"

>Your smile fades as he talks

>"Do you know what it's like to smile, even when you want to cry? This cutie mark isn't a blessing. It's a Celestia-damned curse." he's the first pony that you've heard use profanity

>His smile starts to fade and a tear runs down his cheek

>He lowers his head and starts to sob silently

>You run a hand through your hair and sigh

"Well shit Yes Man, I had no idea." you tell him

>You chuckle

"And to think that I was gonna come and complain to you. I thought I had it bad." you say

>You place a hand on his withers

"Come on man, you may not have a lot of friends, but at least you got me, right?" you try to sound reassuring

>He sniffles a little and looks up to you, his smile completely gone and his eyes stained with tears

>"Y-Yeah, I g-guess so..." he says between sniffs

>Oh god, you hate to see a friend cry

>You kneel down as you pull a rag from one of your pockets and you wipe the tears from his eyes

>He was like a child, you couldn't stand to see him cry

>"Anon, why is it that you're so nice to me? Most other ponies just take advantage of my friendliness and push me around." he's stopped crying

>You sigh and put the rag back in your pocket

"Yes Man if there's one thing I've learned in my life, it's that sometimes all you need is a friend." you explain

"Now come on, let's get you home." you tell him as you stand

>After a silent walk through town, you arrive at Yes Man's house

>He looks up to you and smiles

>"Anon..."

"What is it buddy?"

>He sniffs a little

>"...thanks for being my friend." he says

>He walks inside his house and you turn to walk away

>You walk back across town to your house, the cool night air sending a chill up your spine

>You arrive at home and you chuckle

>Fluttershy is asleep on your porch, she must've been waiting all evening for you to return

>You smile as you unlock your door and pick her up

>You carry her inside and place her gently on your bed, careful not to wake her up

>You shed your coal coated clothes, save for your boxers, an slide into the bed next to her

>You drape your arm over her and she lets out a content sigh

>"Goodnight Anon." she whispers

"Goodnight Fluttershy." you mumble

>You spent the rest of the night

>Cuddling Fluttershy

 

Good End
