- >Day…is it daytime?
- >You’ve been out of it for so long that you don’t know what time it is.
- >”Hey there, sleepyhead…”
- >Wha--?
- >You rub your eyes to confirm what’s talking to you
- >A winged yellow pony with a pink mane
- >Because fuck logic
- >You jolt a little out of shock and confusion
- >”It’s okay, little guy. You’re safe..” she says putting her hoof on your cheek gently.
- >Her hoof feels as solid as any other horse hoof (as far as you know), yet so soft
- >You attempt to ask something
- >Stammering the entire time
- Where am I?
- >The pony moves her hoof and looks at you in shock
- >”Y-you can talk!”
- >A grin crawls on her interested face
- >You slowly start to sit up to get a better look at her
- >Suddenly, there’s a sharp pain in your side
- Aghh…sunofa…
- >You immediately lay back down, clutching your side
- >”Oh, you poor thing…” the pony coos
- >You repeat your question
- Where am I?
- >”Oh..sorry….You’re in Ponyville. I found you in the Everfree Forest beaten up, and unconscious…so I took you back here to take care of you, and let you rest.” she says.
- >What?
- >Sounds like a place that was made up in a fucking fairy-tale
- >Then again, a yellow pony is talking to you, so you’ll believe anything at this point.
- >The pony watches you curiously
- >”M-my name is Fluttershy.” she says shyly
- >Then it hits you
- …Element of Kindness?
- >Fluttershy takes a step backwards, and hides herself behind her wings a little bit
- >”H-h-h-h-how d-did you know th-that??” she asks in almost a scared tone
- >Okay, how the fuck are you going to go about this?
- Well…it’s hard to explain...
- >Fluttershy moves her wing a little so that she can see your face again
- >You can tell she’s curious and as confused as you are
- >Your mind is still trying to process that a pony from a children’s cartoon is standing there talking to you, and you’re talking back to her like it’s normal.
- >Fluttershy whispers, “You should probably go back to sleep..your wounds obviously haven’t healed yet. You can tell me all about it in the morning.”
- >You nod, still confused, and Fluttershy tucks you in
- >It had been a long time since someone actually tucked you into bed.
- >Fluttershy walks out of the room after looking back at you one last time
- >Her eyes showed how concerned she was for you, and how curious she was
- >As dumbfounded as you are, you fall back asleep
- >Maybe this is all a dream, and you’ll wake up once you “fall back asleep”.
- >That was a year ago.
- >You’ve been living in Fluttershy’s house ever since that day
- >Never figured out how you came here or why
- >But fuck it; you’ve made some cool friends
- >Definitely hard to explain to them how things worked back on Earth
- >Even harder to explain how you knew all of their names
- >In the end, you’ve made some good friends with the Mane Six.
- >Now that you’re out of flashback mode, it’s time to get ready
- >Shit, shower, shave
- >Fluttershy’s still asleep
- >No wonder; she was up late tending to the chickens
- >Angel is up and about already
- >Looks up at you with that same bitchy face, and points to his food bowl
- >Well, good morning to you too.
- >Since Fluttershy isn’t awake, you feel like the least you could do to help her out is feed Angel.
- >As much as you hate that goddamn bunny…
- >Slice up, toss, and serve a small salad for Angel
- >Angel eats it right up
- >He knows better than to mess with you
- >You decide to check on Fluttershy
- >You gently creak the door open
- >There she is, curled up peacefully in her bed
- >Pause
- >You walk up to her slowly, being as careful as you can not to make a sound as not to wake her
- >You can hear her breathing through her mouth, snoring ever so softly
- >You smile. Fluttershy can be cute sometimes.
- >You slowly walk out of the room, gingerly shutting the door behind you, and walk out of the house.
- >Stretttttccchhhhh
- >God that felt good…
- >”HI ANON!”
- JEZUSCRYSTLER…Hi, Pinkie.
- >The bouncing pink bundle of fun just jumped out of fucking nowhere and startled you.
- >She was known to do that a lot, but DAMN.
- >”Happy one year of being in Equestria!”
- Thanks Pink--
- >”It’s hard to believe that it’s been this long already! I mean, I remember when I first met you, and Fluttershy had you in her bed getting back to normal, and I was like ‘I’ve never seen anypony like him before!’ and OMIGOSH THIS IS SO COOL!”
- >She grins and looks up at you with those big blue eyes.
- >”You know what this calls for?”
- A party--?
- >”A PARTYYYY!!”
- >Of course.
- >”I already invited eeeveryone in town. It starts at 7:00 at Sugarcube Corner, but maybe you should come a little early since it is your party after all!”
- Don’t worry; I’ll be there.
- >”Great!! See you then, Anon!”
- >Pinkie hops off elsewhere
- >She sure is something else
- >Look at your watch
- >imlateimlateforaveryimportantdate.jpeg
- >You walk over to Sweet Apple Acres where Applejack is waiting for you
- >”There ya are, Anon! We’ve been waitin’ for ya over here.”
- Sorry I’m a little late, Applejack.
- >”It’s fine. Just get up those trees and pick those apples!”
- >Picking apples
- >Took a lot more time than just bucking the trees, but got the job done and separated the bruised ones/ones with worms
- >You tried kicking the trees once
- >Looking back on it, that was pretty stupid to attempt to get apples out of the trees by kicking the trees
- >Weak human legs
- >You climb up each one of the trees and pick out the apples
- >You eat one of the apples you picked for lunch
- >”Um…hi, Anon.”
- >You didn’t really eat much anyways
- >”H-hi, Anon.”
- >And after all this time here in Equestria, you’ve grown accustomed to being a vegetarian
- >”Um, Anon…”
- >Am I hearing things?
- >Look down
- Hey, Fluttershy!
- >You slide down the tree to talk to her
- How’s it going?
- >”Oh…um..I just came here to see you. I know you’re on your lunch break right now, so I thought I would visit. T-thank you for feeding Angel this morning.”
- Oh, it’s no trouble at all. Did you hear about Pinkie’s party tonight?
- >Of course she did; Pinkie sent invites out to EVERYONE
- >”O-oh yes. Everyone’s heard about it.”
- >See?
- >”It’s at seven, right? I-I wouldn’t miss this for the world.”
- >She blushes slightly
- >Flutter’s always been so sweet
- >You nod and pet her head
- >Her hair is soft and silky
- >She smiles happily, almost purring
- >She nuzzles your hip, pressing into it
- >Aww
- >beebeebeebeep
- >Your watch beeps
- Lunch break’s over, Fluttershy.
- >”Oh, that’s okay. I’ll see you later, Anon!”
- >Did she wink at you?
- >She squeaks and walks off happily
- >Huh…wonder what that was about?
- >Disregard it and climb back up the tree
- >You work until 5:30 picking apples off of the trees
- >You wipe your sweat-covered forehead in exhaustion
- >”Great haul t’day, Anon!”
- Thanks, Applejack…I got more baskets filled today than I usually do in a day.
- >”Ah saw that! Here’s some extra bits for today’s work. You’ve earned ‘em.”
- >Hell yeah
- >”See ya at Pinkie’s party t’night, Anon!”
- >You bid Applejack farewell as you take your sack of bits with you back to Fluttershy’s place
- >You open the door
- Fluttershy, I’m back!
- >No response
- >She must be upstairs or something
- >You might as well shower and freshen up for Pinkie’s party in an hour and a half
- >You place your bag of bits on the bathroom floor
- >Start the water
- >You sigh and start to take your clothes off
- >You step into the shower
- >You have to adjust the showerhead a little bit
- >And crouch
- >The warm water droplets feel so good on your aching body
- >It always feels good to shower after a hard day of work
- >Clop
- >Hmm? What was that?
