- Part1:Making Amends
- >She came back
- >Eventually
- >It felt like an eternity to you
- >But in reality it was only a few hours
- >Immediately when she got back you tried to explain what you meant
- >She was free to stay here with you as long as she liked
- >Even if she wanted to live with you permanently
- >For some reason though, you word seem to come awkwardly
- >Your thoughts we half formed and rushed
- >You half expected that she wouldn’t return
- >As the words leave your mouth you know that she doesn’t believe what you say
- >She is cold and distant as she tells you her experience at the floral shop
- >How when she entered the shopkeeper had practically thrown the job at her
- >How she had instantly fallen in love with the idea of a pony with the talent of a botanist working for her
- >You never really understood subtext
- >But you sense that she was trying to convey something more to you.
- >The next month passes by all too quickly
- >Life feels like it is returning to normal
- >As normal as life can be in a world full of ponies
- >Although in about a month and a half since the arrival of ponies, life is pretty much the same
- >It is pretty much accepted fact that the princesses may be gone forever
- >It is also accepted that the ponies may be staying on earth.
- >Many of the earth ponies have moved out of the Cities to the country, most starting small towns and farms
- >The unicorns stay in the major cities finding comfort in the busy city life
- >The pegasi had a harder time of it
- >They finial had “some” control over the weather
- >The were basically limited to moving clouds and causing them to rain
- >The clouds still moved to the power of the winds though
- >So when the pegasi tried to build a settlement in the clouds; it ended up drifting through the air on its own accord
- >Pegasi became nomadic floating wherever their cloud cities would take them
- >That is what the world calls normal now
- >Things don’t seem to be returning to normal between you and rose though
- >Between work, school and her job
- >You and Rose barely talk to each other
- >You work and school performance start to suffer from it
- >The easy going feeling you had when rose first arrived on earth has all but disappeared
- >You and rose slowly drift away from each other
- >When you do talk; she often talks about moving out of the city, to the country where she can start a garden
- >You know this is a constant reminder that one day she will try and leave you
- >And sometimes, you wish she would leave.
- >But then you remember, you promised you would help her through this
- >You remember, that she is your friend
- >A good friend…
- >These thoughts preoccupy you as you walk through the hallways of the university
- >You have just finished you last class of the morning
- >You have an hour or two before you need to be at work for the afternoon shift
- >You shake your head trying to clear your thoughts
- >Your eyes settle on a poster in front of you
- >It’s a poster for the university Halloween party
- >Dancing, booze, and music
- >Special Guest DjP0n3
- >Theme this year is Masquerade
- >Hmmm…idea…
- >It’s been awhile since you and Rose have been out together for some fun
- >Maybe a night at a party would be good
- >Maybe you can talk to her about what you said that day
- >The party is this weekend, that doesn’t leave much time to get a suit together
- >You hope that you can convince Rose to come…
- >The rest of the day at work drags on way to long
- >You leave work once again tired and frustrated
- >But you remind yourself about the plan
- >Convince Rose to come with you to the Halloween Party
- >Shouldn’t be that difficult
- >You swallow hard as you step out into the chilly evening air
- >As least you hope not
- >You find yourself, in the first time in a month, rushing home again
- >When you get back to the apartment Rose is not there
- >It’s ok, you remind yourself, Rose said she was closing the shop today.
- >You have time to throw something together for dinner.
- >You quickly raid through the refrigerator and cabinets
- >You come up with a salad, two apples, a half jar of sauce and spaghetti
- >Why do you always have spaghetti on hand?
- >Doesn’t matter…
- >You set the water to boil and quickly make a small pre dinner salad with sliced apples as a side
- >Ok now for the main course
- >You boil the noddle and the sauce
- >You make up to plates and place them on the table
- >You hear the lock on the door click as you just finish up dinner
- >In walks Rose and she looks exhausted
- >She has gotten quite good at taking on and off her coat without your help
- >She looks between you and the dinner you have prepared
- “Evening Anon, are we having guests?”
- >You shake your head
- >”I just feel like have a nice dinner together”
- >She cocks her head to the side and sighs
- “Ok, let me get settled in and I will join you in a few minutes.”
- >You sit down at the table and patiently wait for Rose
- >She appears from the bathroom a few minutes later and sits down across from you
- >The immediately starts eating her salad
- >Ok, so this is going to be a little tougher than you thought
- >”So Rose, how was your day?”
- >She looks up at you, almost surprised by the question
- “It was fine, how was yours…”
- >Good, you got her talking
- >”It was boring as always, saw something interesting there…”
- >Rose interrupts you before you can finish
- “What is this about Anon?”
- >You’re taken aback by the suddenness
- >”What do you mean?”
- >She looks at the food and back at you again
- “A full dinner and talking like we used to…”
- “We haven’t done this in a while, something is up.”
- >You lower your head
- >”I liked it when we talked and spent time together…”
- >She stares at you
- >”That why when I saw a poster at the University, I thought that we could try and get back to that.”
- >She eyes you suspiciously
- “What poster?”
- >You perk up a bit, you’ve caught her interest
- >”The annual Halloween dance is this weekend. I thought maybe we could go together and have some fun.”
- >She cocks her head at you again
- “Aren’t Halloween and Nightmare Night the same concept?”
- >You think back to everything that Rose told you about Equestria’s celebration
- >”Yes, essentially everybody dresses up in costumes and goes door to door for free candy”
- >She smiles slightly
- “And you want to go out to a dance with me?”
- >”Well yes, the theme is Masquerade; it’s dressing up in suits and dresses while wearing a mask to cover the face.”
- >Her smile grows bigger
- >”I know its short notice for a dress, but do you want to go?”
- >She nods
- “Don’t worry; I know the perfect pony to go to for a dress.”
- >You smile back across the table
- >”That’s great; it’ll be nice to go out as friends again.”
- >You turn back to your meal
- >You don’t notice her smile fade away from her face.
- ”Right, as friends…”
- End of Part 1
- Part 2:Before the Party
- >The rest of the week flashed by at lightning pace
- >After that dinner you once again didn’t have time to talk to Rose
- >But you spirits have been kept high by you Saturday night date
- >Date…
- >No not a date
- >This is an outing between friends
- >Nothing more…
- >It is now noon on Saturday
- >Rose had taken off early morning to get ready for tonight
- >Doesn’t matter if you’re from Earth or Equestia, women take forever to get ready
- >You have just left to pick up your suit and find a suitable mask
- >As the clerk went to the back to find you’re suit you take time to look through their masks
- >There are several masks out for the holiday
- >Several are made to fit humans; some are made to fit the face of a pony
- >As time goes on you notice more items have been made with ponies in mind
- >As mask jumps out from the rest
- >A simple green mask that only covered the area around the eyes
- >You pick it up and hold it up to your face in front of a mirror
- “It fits you nicely”
- >The clerk has returned with your suit.
- >You pay the man for the suit rental and for the mask
- >You return back to the apartment
- >It’s still a few hours before you need even start getting ready
- >You spend your time relaxing and thinking
- >It’s going to be great to go out with Rose for the night
- >Something nags at the back of your mind
- >Your thoughts turn to Rose
- >Even though you both have drifted apart for the past month, you still count her as a good friend
- >She has a beautiful singing voice
- >She always smells of roses
- >A mystery you still don’t understand
- >And yet you don’t really wish to know why
- >That time she got drunk on appletinis and fell asleep on your lap
- >How beautiful she looked laying there…
- >The feeling you felt when you realized she might leave you…
- >There is something more…
- >No, there can’t be anything more there…
- >She’s an animal
- >She’s a Pony!
- >She’s a friend!
- >You feel a conflict building inside of you
- >Every time you think about rose you can’t help but smile to yourself
- >But, she’s a fucking pony! An animal! It is wrong on so many levels…
- >Who says…
- >This makes you pause.
- >How is she exactly different?
- >Besides the obvious physical difference
- >She still has feelings
- >She when you look in her eyes you can see intelligence there
- >The conflict bothers your mind so much you barely notice the passage of time
- >Swearing to yourself, you rush to the bathroom to wash up before Rose gets back
- >After a good shower you go and change quickly into your suit
- >You just about finished changing when you hear the door open to the apartment
- “Anon, are you in here?”
- >”Yes, I’m just about finished getting dressed”
- >You grab your mask and exit the bedroom
- >As you lay your eyes on Rose you mouth drops open
- >She is wearing an elegant light rose colored dress
- >the bottom edge is adorned with roses
- >It looks like her shoes are roses also; the stems wrap themselves up her legs
- >Her mas covers the upper half of her face and is decorated with miniature roses
- >She is beautiful
- >She smiles and giggles at you
- “I hope that mean that you like it.”
- >You hardly can form words, and only manage a small nod
- >She giggles again
- “Rarity said that the dress may have that effect on you. I didn’t believe her until now.”
- “Are you ready to go then Anon?”
- >You finally find your voice.
- >”Yes, I’m ready to go. You look beautiful Rose”
- >She turns her head away from you again
- >You come along side and place a hand on the back of her mane.
- >”Let’s go we have a full night ahead of us”
- >You lead her out the door and down to the streets
- >The university would usually be a simple short walk from you apartment
- >But considering the occasion and the type of dress you hail a taxi instead
- >As you get into the taxi you notice that Rose has taken the seat very close to you
- >The smell of roses fills the cab
- >To you the smell has almost become intoxicating
- >These feelings for her are real, you tell yourself
- >You reach up and start to run your fingers thorough her silky mane
- >As you touch her mane though she pulls away slightly
- >What was that about…
- >Might as well try and break the silence
- >”So Rose, have you ever heard of Dj P0n3?”
- >She turn hear head towards you and smiles
- “Yes, that’s Vinyl Scratches stage name. She is a pony from Ponyville.”
- >You nod
- >Then you notice something peculiar
- >Her hoof is resting on your thigh
- >When did that happen?
- >You guess it wouldn’t hurt
- >You reach down and wrap your hand around her hoof
- >You were expecting something hard; you were met with something soft.
- >When you do this Rose sighs and you can see she relaxes a bit…
- >The rest of the taxi ride is relatively uneventful
- >You shortly arrive at the University and make your way to the Hall
- >As you enter the Hall is decked out in all sorts of Halloween decor
- >Several tables line the hall with the middle open as a dance floor
- >At the back you can see a white pony behind a turntable
- >You escort Rose over to one of the tables
- >”Do you want something to drink?”
- >She simply nods
- >As you make your way over to the refreshments table you notice that you aren’t the only “mixed” couple
- >You can see that other humans have their arms wrapped around ponies
- >Although they are the minority by far
- >And all of these couples are getting the strangest looks from those around them
- >You reach the refreshment table and grab yourself a beer
- >As you look over the difference punches they have to offer, you realize one thing
- >Every single one of them has already be spiked
- >You sigh slightly and grab a ladle full of the least foul smelling of the brews
- >You return to the table and hand Rose her glass
- >You lean in close as you do
- >”Please be careful, the punch is already spiked”
- >She giggles and nods
- >She takes a sip of the punch and coughs a bit
- >”Is something wrong?”
- “The punch is a bit strong”
- >You chuckle a bit
- >This is most certainly going to be an interesting night…
- End of Part 2
- Part 3: The Dance
- >The music started soon after you take your seat next to rose
- >The bass pounded heavy over the speakers
- >Well, from the sound of it Vinyl knows her audience
- >A few people get up and start to dance
- >You and rose stay seated for the moment
- >As you watch the people around you dance you occasionally glance over at rose
- >She sits quietly drinking her punch, staring at the people dancing
- >You begin to wonder what she is thinking…
- >Wasn’t that why you asked her to come out with you tonight?
- >So you can restrengthen your friendship with Rose?
- >So why do you sit here and do nothing…
- >As you start thinking about doing something you hear a voice behind you
- ”Hey Anon, didn’t expect to see you here!”
- >You turn around in your seat and see one of your class mates
- >His name is Robert; he is from your Economics class.
- >Accompanying him is a turquoise unicorn, it appears to have a Lyre as a cutie mark
- “And you brought a date! Mind if we sit?
- >As he mentions the word date, you see Rose turn away from you
- >”Sure have a seat Rob; this is my friend Rose. Rose, this is a classmate of mine Robert.”
- >He bows before pulling a chair out for his pony friend.
- >He then takes a seat himself
- “Nice to meet you Rose, and this beautiful mare is my date Lyra.”
- >”Nice to meet you Lyra.”
- >She smiles at you and then turns to Rose
- “Rose and I know each other from Ponyville; she always had the best flowers.”
- >Rose smiles back at Lyra
- “Thank you Lyra, that is very nice to say”
- >Robert clears his throat
- “Do you want something to drink lyra?”
- >She responds with a polite nod
- >You notice that Rose’s glass is almost empty
- >”Would you like a refill on your drink Rose?”
- “Yes please”
- >She responds without looking at you
- >You and Rob get up and head over to the refreshment table
- >Strikes up the conversation
- “I never thought you would be dating a pony Anon.”
- >You chuckle
- >”We aren’t dating; we are just friends, why would you say that anyways?”
- >He looks at you with a strange look
- “Just friends huh? You fooled me! Especially the way she looks at you…”
- >”What do you mean?”
- >You take a look back at your table.
- >Rose is in deep conversation with Lyra
- >Every so often she glances in your direction before quickly turning back to Lyra
- >“Besides, she’s a pony”
- “So, what’s your point?”
- >You laugh a little harder
- >”She’s an animal man! She’s not human! She’s…”
- “What, different?”
- >”Well, yes she’s different”
- “They aren’t that different you know…”
- >You look at Rob who is now staring in Lyra’s direction
- “She’s helped me a lot, and I have helped her.”
- >”Wait, have you…?”
- >He chuckles a bit
- “They are not different, no matter what you think. You just need to give them a chance.”
- >You look back over at Rose again
- >This time she is staring at you.
- >”A chance huh?”
- >You grab Rose’s drink and head back towards the table
- >When you get back you realize Rose hasn’t taken her eyes off of you
- >You place her drink down and hold out your hand
- >”Would you like to dance Rose?”
- >Her eyes light up as you ask her
- >Her voice is breathless as she answers you
- “Yes”
- >Roses leaves her seat and trots next to you out onto the dance floor
- >The DJ continues to “drop the bass”
- >As you dance with Rose the crowd keeps getting denser and denser
- >Pretty soon the dancing is just glorified grinding
- >You and rose dance closely her body grinding against yours
- >The smell of roses only heighten the feeling
- >You both occasionally take break to get some more drinks
- >As you go on you can feel a decent buzz coming on
- >You are also pretty sure that Rose has one by now too
- >As the night continues on the songs start to slow up
- >Until you recognize the beginning chords of it.
- >You look at Rose who also recognizes the song
- >She smiles drunkenly at you and you back at her
- >She rises up and places one hoof on your shoulder and the other in your hand
- >You pull her close and begin to slowly turn in circles to My Heart Will Go On
- >Rose slowly leans her head against your shoulders
- >The smell of roses mixes with your intoxication
- >You bury your head into her mane
- >You would give anything for with moment to go on forever
- >But like all good things…
- >She pulls her head back and stares into your eyes
- >A smiles slowly creeps across her face
- >She closes her eyes
- >And slowly moves towards you
- >Time slows to a crawl and you are left to your thoughts
- >This is it…
- >The culmination of everything
- >A start of something new…
- >But…
- >NO BUTS!
- >She’s an animal
- >She’s a Pony
- >She’s a friend
- >You can’t do this
- >You begin to panic
- >Think brain think!
- >Your brain takes over
- >A decision is made
- >At the last moment
- >You turn your head…
- >Wrong answer brain!
- >You feel her kiss against your cheek as you try to take stock about what just happened
- >You feel Rose pull back against you
- >You look back into her eyes
- >Your gaze is met with questions
- >Oh god you really fucked up this time Anon.
- “Anon, I don’t…”
- >Say something
- “Is this something wrong…”
- >Say something…
- “Is it me?
- >ANYTHING!
- >”You’re a pony”
- >...but that…
- >Her eyes fill with confusion, fear, and rage
- >And then nothing but sadness
- >She pushes you away and gallops out of the Hall
- >You look around for some help
- >You see Robert and Lyra standing near by
- >You can’t hear what he is saying, but you get the gist
- >You run after Rose.
- End of Part 3
- Part 4: Revelations Pt1
- >You chase Rose through the halls of the university
- >Even in her gown she is faster than you are
- >The sound of her hooves striking the ground disappear ahead of you
- >From the sounds of it she may have exited the building
- >As you turn the corner you spot a door leading out onto the central main grounds
- >As you exit the building you can see the grounds are illuminated only by the full moon
- >It is a clear star filled sky above you
- >A beautiful night
- >Or at least what should have been a beautiful night
- >You took care of that quite handily
- >You had to go and tell her that, didn’t you?
- >You could have said anything, but you said that.
- >You need to find Rose
- >You have to explain to her everything
- >But, what exactly are you going to explain to her?
- >That you can’t see past the fact she is a pony?
- >That she is too much of a friend for you to even get past that?
- >What the fuck exactly is wrong with you?
- >You were having such a great time with her
- >Well, you aren’t going to get closer to an answer standing here talking to yourself
- >A quick sweep of your surroundings already confirm your suspicions
- >Rose is nowhere within sight…
- >But wait…
- >On the light wind you can hear the fain sound of crying
- >It’s difficult to place the direction…
- >You move further onto the main grounds searching for Rose
- >On the ground up ahead you spot her discarded mask
- >Ok so you’re on the right direction
- >Another round of sobs finally gives you a solid direction
- >Off to your right
- >You head off the path to your right
- >Rose’s sobs grow louder as you get closer and closer to her hiding spot
- >Up ahead you can make out a silhouette of a pony sitting on the ground
- >That’s her, it has to be Rose
- >She is facing away from you
- >You get closer and closer you slow your advance
- >Through her sobs you can hear her talking to someone
- >No somep0ny
- “Oh dear Celestia, why…?”
- >Is she… praying?
- >You stop moving and listen in on what she is saying
- “Why did you and your sister have to send us here?”
- >Wait…
- “I know it was for the best, but why did you have to leave us in the process?”
- >…What…
- ”and now we will never see equestria…”
- “It’s all gone”
- >…gone? What does she mean…?”
- >She starts to cry again
- >Through the sobs you can tell she is trying to catch her breath
- “Gone…it’s all gone…”
- “And worst of all… is him”
- >Well fuck…
- “I understand we are different…”
- “But, that doesn’t change the way I feel…”
- “I’m in love with a human…”
- “And he cares nothing about me…”
- “If only I wasn’t a pony…”
- “Maybe then I could make him happy.”
- >She cries even harder now
- >You can tell she is near hysteria
- >Barely able to catch a breath between sobs
- >Even when she does, you can hear it clearly
- “Anon…”
- >She cries your name…
- >And all you can do is stand by and watch her suffer in silence
- >No, you refuse to let this mare to be hurt any further.
- >You take a few steps forward and clear your throat
- >”Rose…”
- >She turns around and looks at you
- >She is surprised to see you
- >She tries to stifle her cries and wipes her tears away
- “Anon, what are you…?”
- >You immediately see the change of emotions in her face
- “NO! Get away from me! You are just a human!”
- >Ok so you deserve that, you did call her a pony
- >You take a few steps towards her
- >”I just want to talk Rose.”
- >She stares you down, her green rage filled eyes glinting in the moon light
- “I don’t want to talk to you! Stay away from me!”
- >You take another few steps forward
- >”We need to talk Rose…”
- >Pure rage flashes through her eyes
- “I! SAID! NO!”
- >Before you can comprehend what is happening you are flying flat on your back
- >Your shoulder and your chest are in severe pain
- >It takes you a few seconds to realize exactly what happened.
- >She kicked you
- >Her hooves had made connection with the middle of your chest and your right shoulder
- >You try to move but waves of pain wash over you when you do
- “Anon! Mother of Celestia! I am so sorry!”
- >You cough a bit, the pain continues
- “Are you ok?”
- >You slowly start to sit up and take an internal check of your body
- >From what you can tell your chest and shoulder are heavily bruised
- >She really knocked the wind right out of you
- >”I’m fine, I think…”
- >”I deserve that actually…”
- >She turns away from you
- “You deserve a little more than that…”
- >You chuckle
- >Ouch, ok it hurts to laugh
- >”Rose, I don’t know what to say…”
- >She turns back towards you
- >You can still see a glint of anger in her eyes, but you see mostly sadness.
- ”I just want to know the truth…”
- >You nod
- >”You deserve that much, but I want the truth also…”
- >She looks at you with confusion
- >Then the sudden realization of what you’re talking about
- “How much did you hear…”
- >”I heard enough to know there is something more going on.”
- >She looks at the ground
- ”I’ll tell you everything, but you need to go first.”
- >You nod again
- >”I care about you Rose.”
- >You can tell that got her attention
- “You sure have a funny way of showing it”
- >Ok not the good kind of attention
- >”I know, I’m sorry about what I said…”
- >”It’s just you’re such a good friend…”
- “That is not what you said.”
- >You swallow hard
- >”I know…”
- >”Rose, we are different…you’re such an amazing pony…”
- “Why should it matter then?”
- >It shouldn’t
- >”I’m scared.”
- >Where did that come from…
- “And, you think I’m not?”
- >That’s right
- >She is the one out of place
- >This is worse for her than it is for you
- >She walks up to you and rubs against your side
- >”I just want to be happy”
- “I want you to be happy”
- “Then what’s stopping you from being happy…?”
- >You kneel down and look into her eyes
- >You can see how much she cares for you reflected back
- >There should be nothing stopping me
- >You take a deep breath; inhaling the smell of roses.
- >You’re not going let anything stop you…
- >You put both hands up on her face
- >Why should you care what other people think?
- >She closes her eyes as you begin to stroke her neck
- >You want to be happy
- >You close your own eyes and move forward
- >You want Rose to be happy
- >You lips meet hers
- >You are going to be happy
- >An electric feeling shoots down your whole body
- >You feel Rose’s body tense and relax
- >You pull her in closer, wrapping her in your arms
- >The kiss seems to go on forever…
- >As you break away you are both left breathless
- >”Wow…”
- >You can see Rose’s coat turn a deeper red
- “Wow…”
- >You can’t seem to take your eyes of her
- >This mare, this beautiful mare
- >You’re life just seems to become more and more complicated
- >But there is another matter to attend to
- >”I told you the truth, now you need to tell me…”
- “Right, the truth…”
- End of Part 4
- Part 5: Revelations Pt2
- >”So what is the truth then?”
- >You and Rose have moved to a nearby bench
- >She lies next to you on the bench with her head in your lap
- >You rub her stomach as she looks up at you with concern in her eyes
- “It’s all gone…”
- >Her eyes begin to fill with sadness and tears
- “My home, my garden, Ponyville, all of Equestria; it’s all gone.”
- >A tear rolls down her face
- >You automatically wipe it away
- >”What do you mean it’s all gone? What happened?”
- >Her eyes stare off into the night sky
- “I remember the events like they happened yesterday”
- “It all began with a meeting held in the town square.”
- “We were all gathered there awaiting an important announcement”
- “Celestia and her sister, Luna, suddenly appeared on the stage in front of the crowd.”
- “But they looked different, Celestia said it was because she was and image projected throughout Equestria”
- “She said that she, Luna, and several high ranking Unicorns had been following a developing situation.”
- “She said that she didn’t want to alarm the population until she was sure about what it was or that it couldn’t be avoided.”
- “Celestia told us that our world was dying.”
- “And there was nothing we could do to stop it.”
- “There was a short panic the followed shortly after”
- “But the crowd was soon calmed by Celestia”
- “She went to explain that tremors would happen throughout the land.”
- “They will only get worse and more frequent as we get closer”
- “She ended by offering us hope.”
- “She said that it was Luna who had discovered a far off place, which would be safe from this disaster.”
- “She promised when the time was right we would go there.”
- “During the following month earthquakes shook our land”
- “We got more news about the land we would soon be going to.”
- “It was filled with creatures that walked on two legs and were called humans.”
- “Celestia had made contact with them and was in negoations about us coming to their world”
- “We were told we would be welcomed and well taken care for by the humans.”
- “There were only a few restrictions.”
- “The most important one that was stressed is that we couldn’t tell the general populace about this until it was announced.”
- “Then came that final day.”
- “I wasn’t lying to you when I said I was working in the garden before it happened”
- “The ground began to shake, but it was different”
- “On this day, morning became night.”
- “I looked up into the sky and the sun was no longer there”
- “I rushed to the center of town with everyp0ny else.”
- “There Princess Celestia spoke with us one final time.”
- “She told us it was time to leave.”
- “She then apologized”
- “Because she and Luna had to stay behind”
- “It was going to take all of their magical ability to transport us to earth”
- “They had to stay back to make sure they got everyp0ny.”
- “She ended by saying that she loved us all and good luck.”
- “There was a bright flash of light, and I found myself in the metal box where you found me.”
- >Her eyes refocus and look up at you
- >As she does, her eyes quickly fill with tears again
- >There is nothing that you and her can do to stop the incoming water works
- >You pick her up and hold her close as she cries on your shoulder
- “It’s all gone…Anon…”
- “My garden…my beautiful garden…”
- “My home…Equestria… all gone…”
- “We can never…go back”
- “Even our princesses…”
- >She continues to cry
- >You hold onto her tightly slowly stroking her mane trying to console her
- >But what can you do?
- >It’s not like a regular loss of a home
- >Her whole world was erased from somewhere
- >All that is left is her and everp0ny else that now resides on Earth
- >You can only try
- >”At least you and all of your friends are ok”
- >She sobs a little less and starts to calm down a little
- >”I know that we can’t rebuild your home exactly like it was…”
- “But, we can build you a new one here.”
- >She looks at you.
- “You mean build ourselves one here.”
- >You stare into her gorgeous green eyes
- >”You and me, it won’t be easy, but we find a way to make it work.”
- >”That is if you still want an idiot human like me.”
- >She smiles and giggles
- “I’ll take you, stallion; if you’ll take just a pony.”
- >You chuckle
- >She called you a stallion
- >For some reason you find that… enticing.
- >”I guess I’ll have to settle for just a pony.”
- >You pull her in close again
- >Your lips meet hers for a second time
- >You move your tongue across her mouth begging for an opening
- >She slowly gives way allowing your tongue to enter her mouth
- >Your tongues intertwine around one another
- >You slowly move your hands down her back
- >Your hands stop at her cutie marks
- >You can feel a change in texture underneath your hands
- >You’re about to explore further when Rose breaks off the kiss
- >She smiles at you
- >”Is something wrong”
- >Gets off the bench and start to walk away, she turns her head back towards you
- “I can’t let you discover everything in one go can I?”
- >You smile broadly
- >Oh Rose, you are a tease…
- >”Well, the night is still fairly young…”
- “Oh? What do you have in mind?”
- >”Well the dance is here winding down, but that doesn’t mean this is the only place…”
- “I would like to have some more of that punch”
- >You smile and put your arm around her neck
- >”I got a good place for that…”
- >You and rose exit the university grounds and hail a taxi
- >As you ride to your next destination you get some very interesting looks from the taxi driver
- >What? He acts like he has never seen a grown man make out with a pony before…
- >The taxi driver lets you out at a bar that is only a few blocks from your apartment
- >As you enter you know that you and Rose are clearly over dressed
- >If that wasn’t enough to grab the attention of the bar
- >Your and Rose’s behavior is
- >You both sit at a booth in the back
- >Always close to one another
- >You drinking down a few beers
- >Rose is drinking down appletinis again
- >The hour gets late and pretty soon the bar is calling for last call
- >You and Rose stumble into the street
- >Now just to get back to the apartment
- >Which way was that again…
- >You somehow manage to find your way home
- >Although you have a pretty hard time trying to open the door
- >Why is it so hard to use keys with a pony constantly bumping into you?
- >You finally master the lock and practically fall into the apartment
- >You and Rose stumble drunkenly over to the couch
- >You sprawl out onto the couch first
- >Rose falls second right on top of you
- >You both are laughing hard
- >Rose, alcohol, that smell
- >It’s almost too much for you to bear
- >You wrap your arms around her
- >You pull her in close and whisper in your ear
- >”Are you tired?”
- >She laughs
- “Mmm, not yet…”
- >”Well then, let’s see how much energy you have left…”
- End of Part 5
- Part 6:A New Day
- >You slowly open your eyes the next morning
- >Weird you should be feeling the effects from last night
- >That and your bed is empty
- >Where’s Rose?
- >You don’t hear any movement in the apartment
- >You slowly get out of bed
- >The sheets are clean…
- >There is no rosy smell on the pillow next to you…
- >You look in the corner where Rose had discarded her dress
- >Missing
- >No, this can’t be…
- >You frantically get up and start searching the apartment
- >Not in the kitchen or living room
- >Not in the bathroom either
- >Her coat and bag are both gone from the hooks
- >The date, It should be November
- >It’s only the second weekend in September
- >Your mind slowly comes to terms on the truth
- >A dream…
- >The last month and a half
- >All that time with that beautiful pony
- >Just a dream
- >You collapse on the sofa and turn on the news
- >boring human news
- >No metions of ponies anywhere
- >Like they never appeared…
- >It never happened…
- >It was such a good dream
- >It was such a great story…
- >A great story…
- >Yes, I can write something from this
- >You rush to the computer and boot it up
- >Now where to write…
- >There’s only one place where something like this can go
- >4chan
- >/mlp/
- >Now where was that thread you saw 2 days ago
- >PiE, there it is
- >You click on the thread and type in the comment box the first line of your story
- >”It had been another long day…”
- >You wake with a start.
- >You are immediately greeted by a pounding head ache
- >Oh alcohol why must you be a cruel mistress?
- >Wait a head ache
- >That means…
- >You feel her; she is lying on your chest
- >You slowly open your eyes and witness rose fast asleep
- >This is real
- >Oh thank celestia this is real
- >You breathe heavily
- >As you reaffirm yourself, you feel the sleeping pony stir
- >A stifled moan escapes from her
- >She must be as hung over as you are
- >Her green eyes flutter open and she immediately looks to you
- >A smile crosses her face as she relaxes against your body
- “Good Morning, stallion.”
- >Stallion why does that sound so good to you?
- >You reach up and run you hand through her mane
- >”Good morning beautiful”
- >She looks into your eyes again
- “Last night… it was…”
- >You recognize the emotion of fear
- >Why is she scared
- >Oh, that’s why…
- >No, you are not going to do that to her again
- >She is your pony, she is your mare
- >”Last night was perfect”
- >You gently give her a kiss on the forehead
- >Her smile broadens
- “Last night was perfect.”
- >You lie there with her for a good long while
- >”We really should get cleaned up, and start the day…”
- “Do we have to; I could try to convince you otherwise…”
- >This pony is going to be the death of you…
- >”Yes, we I have some laundry to do and some errands to run.”
- >Rose slowly lifts off of you and unsteadily gets out of bed
- >Time to start the day right
- >A quick shower should do the trick
- >Although “quick” is always a relative term…
- >Your bathroom you come to find out has really nice acoustics
- >Be it Roses singing or otherwise
- >After a nice friendly shower a big greasy breakfast
- >Everything just seems to taste better this morning
- >You wonder why
- >After breakfast you let rose relax on the couch while you do some of the weekly chores
- >You gather up the laundry, strip the bed of the now soiled sheets, and head down the laundry room
- >While downstairs you grab the Sunday edition paper.
- >Nothing to terribly interesting today
- >You jog up the stair back to the apartment
- >Rose still lies on the couch staring at the TV
- >”Anything interesting on?”
- >She shakes her head no and continues to watch
- >You join her on the couch
- >as you sit down Rose places her head in your lap
- >She start up at you with the green eyes you have come to enjoy so much
- >The smell of roses hangs in the air around her
- >God how you love that
- “Anon?”
- >”hmm?”
- ”Where do we go from here?”
- >You take a pause
- >Where do we go from here…
- >While it looks like human and pony relationships aren’t rare
- >They are largely uncommon
- >There are still people who have a prejudice against the ponies
- >That prejudice may just grow when they come to find out the truth
- >Why is it when things get better, they also get more complicated.
- >This question makes you head pound that much harder…
- >You slowly pet Rose’s mane
- >”We’ll just have to take it one day at a time Rose.”
- >One day at a time…
