Anon, The New Assistant: A Humanized CYOA - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of Anon, The New Assistant! This is a Choose Your Own Adventure story following the life of Anonymous as he adjusts to life in his new town, Ponyville, and at his new job, as Twilight's library assistant. The story is written day by day, usually around 21:30-22:00. Choices will be made off of a vote for different options, and majority rules, unless I state otherwise. In the situation of a tie, I go with whichever option was voted for first. Feel free to vote for something other than provided, but I am ultimately the final judge of whether or not those options will be picked. Also, feel free to tell me to text someone, your contact list is in the pastebin.

And now, let the story begin!

>*bzzt bzzt bzzt*

>You yawn loudly and slap your alarm clock.

>Crawling out of bed, you look at the time.

>7 AM, same as usual.

>You look outside, luckily the weather seems fairly clear today.

>Generic morning decisions, go!

 

A. Shower

B. Breakfast

C. Sit for a while

 

[spoiler]Some day these morning decisions will have significance, I promise ;_;[/spoiler]

 

>Hmm, you are feeling a little sore from all the walking yesterday.

>You walk out to the living room and sit down on the couch.

>...Nah, that's not working.

>You stand back up and sit back down several times, trying to find a good position for relaxation.

>None of these are really too great...

>Wait!

>You clear out some space in the middle of the floor and start stretching all your muscles.

>Starting with your legs, you slowly take care of everything and continue your way to your arms, and then shoulders.

>You roll your neck a few times, and then jog in place and jump for a minute or so.

>Alright, now you've got that blood pumping!

>You now feel ready to go for today, and now are ready to get going for the rest of the day.

>+Energy/Confidence Up! (3 hours remain)

 

A. Shower

B. Breakfast

C. Leave for day

 

>Hmmm, you're glad you exercised before you took a shower. If you can really call stretching exercising

>You grab a towel out of the closet and hop in the shower, making sure to get everything.

>5 minutes later, you are out of the shower and ready to go. The time is 7:25.

>You dry off and head over to your bedroom, where you throw on some shorts and a green shirt, then head out to the kitchen.

>You grab a bowl and a spoon, and pour some cereal because [spoiler]breakfast is no longer a choice[/spoiler]

>As you walk out of your apartment, the familiar sounds of electronic music come through the floorboards.

>You walk down to ground level and head outside for work.

 

A. Get to work quickly

B. Talk to people along the way (slower, but more entertaining)

 

>Man, you are feeling pretty great. Fuck it, let's slow down and talk to some people. Twilight probably won't mind if you are a few minutes late. Well, hopefully not. You'll just talk your way out of it if something comes up.

>Let's see, who can I talk to?

>You scan the surrounding area and look out for any people that stand out. Let's see...

>Hey, it's that weather girl with the rainbow hair!

>With her on your far right, you look to the slight right of in front of you and see... You think that's the girl with the rabbit you knocked down the other day, the mumble-y one.

>Slightly to your left, you see... A girl sitting in the grass kind of like a dog... [spoiler]Or a pony[/spoiler]... How strange.

>To your far left, you see... Oh hey, it's Scootaloo again. Is she ever not hanging out around town? You feel like you see her a lot.

 

A. Talk to rainbow haired weather girl

B. Talk to shy one

C. Talk to girl who sits strange

D. Talk to Scoots.

 

You have time for 2 conversations before work, so choose wisely.

 

> You walk over to the girl you knocked down the other day. She see's you coming and looks apprehensive.

Anon: "Hey, I never really got to apologize for knocking you down the other day. Sorry about that, I wasn't paying attention, I didn't mean to startle you. Can we start over? My name is Anon, what's yours?"

???: "M-My names F-f-fluttershy... That's okay..."

>She really is very shy, isn't she? You'll have to play it safe with this one.

Anon: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Fluttershy. What are you up to?"

Flutters: "Oh, I-I'm on the way to the m-market for some food for my friends..."

>As Fluttershy talks, she brushes her hair in front of her face, seeming to hide away. Still, you can see her eyes glistening back at you from behind the hair.

>The way she tries to seem invisible, as if to avoid disturbing the scene around her. It makes you want to smile because it's kind of cute, but at the same time you feel a pang of sadness for her.

Anon: "Your friends made you go get food for them? Did they at least give you money?"

>She gives a little giggle before responding to you.

Flutters: "Sorry, I didn't mean to confuse you... No, they are all animals, but they are the some of the closest friends I have."

Anon: "Oh, that's pretty cool. Well, I'd like to keep in touch, Fluttershy! May I have your phone number as a way of contacting you?"

>She gives you her number shyly, and then you say goodbye and head on your way. You still have time for one conversation.

 

A. Rainbow hair

B. Strange Sitter

C. Scoots

D. Go to work

 

>Let's go over to that weather girl, that could be cool.

>As you walk over to her, you get ready to put the charm on.

>Although, you will admit, she is pretty intimidating.

>She looks up at you while you are on your way over there, and gives you a look that roughly translates to "Nigga, you serious right now?"

>As you get within a normal conversation's distance of her, she opens her mouth.

???: "Can I help you?"

 

A. Small talk

B. Flirt

C. Spaghetti out

D. Other (you decide)

 

>You take a quick glance at her and just what she's wearing.

>A tie dye shirt and running shorts... hmm...

>Impulse decision go

Anon: "I just happened to notice that you were wearing running clothes, and I was wondering if you wanted to race."

>She looks at you like her sides are going to turn into Mount St. Helens

???: "Are you sure dude? I don't know if you are up to it."

Anon: "If you're scared you are going to lose, then I can just ba--"

???: "Woah there, scared? I could crush you in a race!"

>Your eyes narrow and you look right into her eyes.

Anon: "Well in that case, you better get ready to race!"

???: "You're on!"

>You agree to race to Twilight's Library from here. She looks over at you with fire in her eyes.

>You smile back confidently.

Anon: "Don't worry, I'll go easy on ya."

>3.

>2.

>1.

>You both rocket away from your starting point, and you quickly start to regret your trash talk.

>She's pulling away at a pretty good speed, you are doing everything you can to keep up, straining your body to the limits.

>Worst part is, she doesn't look like she's working nearly as hard as you.

>You can see Twilight's Library coming into view, and you push with everything you have.

>Now, she's not pulling away, but you aren't gaining on her either.

>The rainbow haired girl, in her focus to kick your ass, happened to over look a small dip in the road.

>You watch as she falls to the ground, and from the looks of it, she fell hard.

>She won't be able to stand back up quickly, and it should give you the advantage you need to win.

>But only if you literally leave her in the dust.

>Is it worth it to you?

 

A. Speed to the finish, become Winrar

B. Stop and help girl up from ground

 

[spoiler](Also, tfw you have been writing for 2 hours and you haven't even gotten to work in the morning. This is gonna be a long thread, isn't it?)[/spoiler]

 

>Your mind has a small battle with itself over what to do for a minute.

>You feel, as a gentleman, obligated to help her up.

>But as a competitor, you wanna leave that shit talker in the dirt.

>As you catch up to where she is, you decide to slow down and stop next to her.

>She looks up at you, clearly not understanding what you are doing.

>You lean down and offer her a hand, which she takes to stand back up.

>She leans on your shoulder, it looks like she may have twisted her ankle worse than you could tell before.

???: "Th-Thanks... You really don't have to do this though."

>She looks up at you, with an almost ashamed expression on her face. It slowly hits you just how proud she is of her athleticism.

>Needing help just to finish a race, from some random stranger no less, must be a crushing blow to her ego.

>You walk her over to Twilight's Library and offer her the win.

???: "No , I couldn't take that... I appreciate you helping me up, but I won't take a free victory. No, I'm staying loyal to my values. Go on, you earned it."

>You look at her for a second, and then reach your arm out, touching the outside wall of Twilight's Library.

???: "Congrats."

>You don't know how to feel. Was it a good idea to do this? Or did you just cheapen the experience for her? You can't know for certain now.

>She offers a weak grin, clearly still in pain, but trying to hide it.

???: "What's your name?"

Anon: "I'm Anon. And you?"

???: "Rainbow Dash. Well Anon, I'll have you know that I'll win our next race for sure."

>You chuckle at how quickly her competitive nature outshines her embarrassment and pain.

>Rainbow Dash number acquired!

>You say goodbye to Rainbow Dash after confirming that her ankle is fine, and step into work.

>Well, if anything good came out of this, it's that you made it to work early considering the fact that you were running.

 

A. Work with Twilight

B. Work with Spike

c. Work Alone

D. Dick around

 

>You walk over to Spike, picking up your shit and getting to work.

Anon: "So Spike, how's it going? You think about your girl situation?"

Spike: "Well, I did, and I'm not sure, I mean, Apple Bloom is a nice girl and all, but Rarity is Rarity..."

>You look over at him, almost expecting him to just blow it off again.

>Don't make me go alpha on you, kiddo.

Spike: "...But in the end, I came to see that what you said is true, I don't really have a chance with Rarity. So, after you help me get ready, I'm gonna ask out Apple Bloom."

>You smile at him and give him a quick high five.

Anon: "Alright dude, well after we're done working, we can probably get to work on you."

Spike: "Thanks, Anon."

>You continue to work, now in fast forward mode because work takes too long and nothing of excitement is happening.

>About halfway through your work day, Twilight calls you over.

Twilight: "Hey Anon,we don't really know each other so well, so I was wondering i-if you wanted to hang out after work and do something. I have some spare tickets to the movies if you wanna go."

>She's blushing pretty hard right now.

Twilight: "A-as friends of course, I am your boss after all."

>implying you won't put the moves on her

>Oh, but you told Spike you can probably hang with him after work today.

Twilight: "So whaddaya say?"

 

A. Hang with Spike

B. Movies with Twilight

 

>Shit. Spike, you are lucky I am a good bro.

Anon: "As much as I want to say yes, I can't. I already have plans with Spike, and it just wouldn't be right for me to blow him off, you know?"

>Twilight looks slightly dissapointed by your answer.

Twilight: "No, that's alright, I understand."

Anon: "But I would love to take a rain check on the movie, if you can. And to show you I'm serious, I'm even gonna pay for both of our tickets to whatever you wanna see. Okay?"

>She quickly perks back up after hearing that, and smiles at you, then nods.

Twilight: "Okay, thanks Anon."

>You go back to working in fast forward mode.

>3 PM arrives, and you get off work, and meet Spike out in front of the library.

Spike: "So what should we work on first?"

>You look down at his raggedy ass purple T shirt that he wears pretty much every day.

>And his lack of any really definitive physical features.

>Then you remember how oblivious he is with girls.

>Hmmm...

 

A. Get new clothes

B. Work on gains/cleaning up appearance in general

C. Learn how to act around ladies.

 

Anon: "Okay dude, first thing first, we gotta get some muscle on you. Or at the very least, some definition."

>Spike looks at you like, "what the fuck man"

>He clearly overlooked the fact that he would have to work for girls

>I take him to the local gym, we start with stretching and some light arms and shoulders work

>After, move to some lighter leg work, warmup squats

>Now you get real.

>Go back to arms, have him bench and then work triceps with dumbbells

>Do some wide lifts to work chest before losing the dumbbells

>Squat again, this time with actual weight on the bar.

>Spike is clearly getting tired now, but you aren't letting him pussy out on you yet.

>Last things for today, you do some quick planks and sit ups, getting that core work in.

>You look over at him and he looks back, tired, but he appears to be enjoying himself nonetheless.

>You both go back to Twilight's Library, and you make him go upstairs and grab his face razor from the bathroom.

>It's time for us to shave that stupid neckbeard and overgrown sideburns.

>What are you, a horsefucker?

>He's actually starting to clean up well, but you still have personality work to do.

 

A. Teach Spike about girl behavior

B. Push off until another day

 

Anon: "Alright Spike, you know what we're gonna do now?"

Spike: "How the fuck would I know what you're gonna do now?"

>You ignore his comment, and proceed to explain the plan.

Anon: "Alright, I was thinking about throwing you into the lion's den to learn, but on second thought, that's a little cruel. Lucky for you, I have a better idea."

Spike: "What's that?"

>You proceed to lead him down the stairs to everybodys' favorite downstairs neighbor.

>You knock on Vinyl's door, and a second later she opens up.

Vinyl: "Hey Anon, what's up?"

Anon: "Hey, I need some help with my friend here, he is trying to learn how to act around women."

Vinyl: "So you came to me for help?"

Anon: "Yea, you're a girl. Help the poor kid out."

>She looks over at Spike, eyeing him for a second.

Vinyl: "Okay, you guys come on in."

>You all go inside and sit down on the couch.

Anon: "Here's the plan. Vinyl, I need you and Spike to flirt, and we'll correct you as you make mistakes, okay Spike?"

Spike: "Uhh, yeah, I guess so"

>You can already see the spaghetti leaking from him. Oh god, this is gonna be painful.

Vinyl: "Okay, I'll start. So, you're name is Spike? That's a nice name. What sorta things do you do?"

Spike: "I, uhh, w-work at a library..."

Anon: "Spike, she wants to know about interesting things, the library is not very interesting."

Spike: "Oh, okay. Well, I've started getting into working out recently..."

Vinyl: "Oh really? It shows."

Spike: "Y-You too"

>Oh fucking hell

>About an hour later of this horribly awkward conversation, we finally get somewhere. He may make it after all.

>You both leave Vinyl's apartment and thank her for the help, and then walk down to the front door of the complex.

Spike: "Thanks dude, I know I'm a little hopeless but I know I'm gonna get better with your help."

Anon: "No problem dude. Have a good night dude, you're gonna go far one day."

>You head back up the stairs and go into your apartment.

>You spend the last 2 hours or so unpacking the rest of your boxes and cleaning up your apartment.

>After you finish that, you head into your bedroom, and lay in bed, thinking about today.

>These last few days have been pretty good, and you know you are going to make lifelong friends here.

>But those things are for future days.
