>The city looks pretty cool. Stone architecture of this scale had to be difficult to build. It really reflects the light of the sunset beautifully.
>Right, mission.
>Xeos never told you which way to go.
>Wait, duh, Princesses. Probably the castle.
>On your way, you see nothing but small, colorful horses. You swear they're whispering to themselves and staring at you, but horses don't talk right?
>Wait. Xeos said they weren't horses.
>Oh shit. These are people.
>and you appeared in a flash of lightning. They probably think you're evil.
>But powerful! You're a fucking demi-god, after all!
>You come up to the gates with two white horsey-people in gleaming gold armor.
>You look them up and down, they do the same to you.
FIND ME PRINCESS LUNA, MORTALS!
>They just gawk at you, dumbfounded.
Um...........please....?
>One of them snaps to attention and goes inside the gates, turning the corner.
>Awkward silence between you and the other guard who is still taken aback
It's rude to stare, you know.
>He coughs, obviously still uncomfortable.
>You summon a guitar to pass the time.
>He doesn't so much as blink, like magic is a regular everday thing to him.
>You dismiss the instrument a minute later when you hear a voice.
>"THAT'S PREPOSTEROUS!" Oh Jesus Christ that voice is loud. Was that a woman?
>The guard rounds back the corner with another horse-thing.
>You suddenly feel significantly less badass standing in front of this one. It's like she emanates an aura of wicked badassery.
>She's clearly taken aback
"WELL, I WASN'T EXPECTING TO SEE ANOTHER ONE OF YOU."
>No concert was ever this loud holy fuck
>Your eyes are watering. You think you feel blooding dripping from your ears but your hands don't feel anything.
>She laughs a little. No, it was more of a regal giggle. Is that a phrase? It's a phrase now.
>""Sorry. I suppose Xeos sent you here?"
Uh...yeah.
>She looks like the embodiment of night. Not sure what gave it away. Could be the dark blue coloration, or the long, flowing mane that looks like a starry sky, or the moon tattooed on her ass.
>Wait, moon
>Luna
>Seriously?
You must be Princess Luna?
>"Very observant. Come, I'm sure we have business to discuss."
>That voice is so...official. And her sister is the stuck-up one? You can't *wait.*
>This castle is grand. Enormous hallways, giant doors, grand tapestries.
>"So...you must be the next one."
The next what?
>"The next...well, I don't know. Xeos never gave me a name for what you...people are."
Oh. We are the Muses.
>She nods. "I see. Well, I am Princess Luna. I rule this land with my sister. And you are?"
I'm Anon. Nice to meet you.
>"Likewise, Anon. What brings you to Equestria? I haven't seen a creature like you since...well, a long time."
>Her eyebrows twitch, nearly betraying her feelings. You weren't able to catch whether it was anger or meloncholy but something was there.
Well, the last Muse has passed, and the cycle continues with me.
>She looks fallen when you mention Xeos' life ended. They must have been good friends. Another time, though.
I'm sorry. But he's not entirely gone; his spirit lives on, granting every generation after him some of his power and mentoring myself.
>She looks significantly less disturbed
>"That's good to hear; I'm glad to hear he didn't end with his mortal self.
>She closes her eyes in a smile for a few seconds.
>"Anyway, enough of the past. You have business, I trust?"
Yeah. I was supposed to meet with you, and then have you lead me to Princess...
>You forgot her name. Nice dickwad.
Your sister.
>Nice try, you already started.
>Whatever.
>That regal giggle again. "Celestia is lowering the sun at the moment. I need to go and raise the moon after her. Ah, here we are."
>She leads you through a pair of giant doors into a throne room and motions for you to sit across from her at a table with cushions instead of chairs. Makes sense.
>You sit on the cushion cross-legged. Good enough.
So Xeos tells me you're quite the rocker.
>She flinches a bit. Guess she misses him. Nice going dunkass.
>"You could say that. He helped me when I needed it after I was banished a little over a thousand years ago."
Banished?
>"Yes I....became jealous of my sister. Our subjects all enjoyed her day but slept through our gorgeous night, and I couldn't take it anymore."
>Bitches be crazy. The best parties go all night long.
>"I acted rashly, and...Celestia banished me to my moon."
>Not gonna ask how one can just be banished to the moon
For a thousand years?
>"Time holds less significance for immortals. A year is nothing to us."
>I suppose I'll know eventually. Hopefully not soon.
But how does that connect to Xeos?
>"He appeared on the moon with me near the end of it. I was still in a rage at that point, but he helped me."
>Also not gonna ask how he survived in fucking space
>"From me and my...state, he developed his craft...your craft now, I suppose"
>She chuckled, but no humor was there.
>"At the same time, he calmed me back into the state you see now. After I was calmed, Celestia forgave me and took me back in."
>Are you guys fucking magic?
>Oh shit you said that out loud
>She laughed for real this time. Phew, let's try not to be rude to royalty again.
>"I understand your kind is not magical by nature. Only the...Muses, was it?...have anything close. But yes, we are.
>She looked out the window as if suddenly aware of something
>"Well, it looks like our time is up. Celestia will be here in a moment; I'll inform her."
>A few minutes later, a white horsey-thing entered, significantly more intimidating than Luna
>Horsey-thing? Still need to figure out what they're called.
>You hastily stand and bow. This is the real shit, the stuck-up one.
>Oh god the laugh. It's like buttermilk in your ears.
>"It's alright...Anon, was it?"
Yes, your highness.
>"No need to be so formal. We're friends here. I remember what Xeos did for us."
>There is no way this is the bitchy sister.
Yes, well, that's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about.
>"I see. I take it Xeos is no longer with us?"
>Neither Yes nor No was correct
He passed away a while ago. I'm the new Muse, and his apprentice.
>Her expression became even softer, if possible, at "apprentice"
>"I see. You must be here to train like Xeos before you."
Yup.
>"He must have given you a place to start for you to have come to me. What will he have you learn first?"
Erm.......the.......'power of friendship,' as he put it
>"Oh, I see why he started you here, then"
>Really? She didn't so much as laugh? What is with these people?
>"I've got just the ponies in mind to help you with that."
>What is with these *ponies*?
Who are they?
>"Why, the Elements of Harmony. They're a group of girls living in Ponyville, the living embodiments of friendship."
>This is fucking stupid
>"They should be able to help you get started on your...quest."
>Doubt it. A group of girls? This is going to be fucking painful.
How old are these girls of yours?
>"It ranges, late teens, early twenties."
>Fucking jackpot.
>A force out of nowhere punches you and you go tumbling backward.
>Xeos' voice booms in your head "NOPE"
FINE! JESUS!
>Celestia is looking concerned at you
>"Are you....alright...Anon?"
Yeah, just pissed off a demi-god is all. ER, pardon my language.
>That laugh again. "Anyway, I'll send for transportation for you. I'm sure my student, Twilight Sparkle will be able to accomoda- are you sure you're okay?"
>Dear god you can't hold in the laughs any longer
>Celestia seemed alright. Wonder what got Xeos' goat about her
>You feel a hard nudge in your side
>Xeos: "Hey don't joke about goats like that"
>Sorry bro.
>The pegasi pulling your chariot looked back at you with a worried look
>You shrug
>Finally land, sunlight has about run out
>There are still a few p0nies walking about. They all stop everything and stare at you
>awwwwkwarrrrrd
>Ponyville seems like a nice, peaceful little town.
Boooriiiing. Where's the pa-
>"DID SOMEONE SAY PARTY!?"
>What have I done
>She starts talking about a million words a minute and you start understanding about zero words a minute
>She's stopped talking and is looking at you, expecting some sort of answer
Anon
>"Wowee, so you DO talk! I was beginning to worry because-"
Because you didn't let me get in a word.
>"Well OF COURSE silly! SOMEP0NY has to plan this party!"
Party?
>You like parties.
>"Weren't you listening? We HAVE to throw you a party! Everyp0ny new gets a party!"
I've heard of worse reasons to throw a party. How about tomorrow night, out in one of the surrounding fields?
>What better party than a concert?
>"YEAH! Lots of room to jump and play!"
Jump and play....right.....anyway I'm looking for a....pony....named Twilight Sparkle, do yo-
>She just jumped higher than your head. What?
>"OFCOURSEFOLLOWME"
What?
>She just disappeared. She was there, next second she wasn't.
What.
>"Come on silly filly!" and you were being dragged along.
>Why are these books floating on their own?
>Oh right. Magic.
>"Hey Twilight you'll never guess what I found in town and he wants to meet you he even knows your name"
Please. Make it stop.
>"PINKIE!"
>She finally stopped. Thank fucking God.
>"Thank you Pinkie Pie. Yes, I know who he is. You should probably be getting home; it's nighttime."
>"Okey dokie lokie!" And she was gone
Finally.
>"Bit of an earful, right?"
Yeah. Anyway, I'm Anon.
>"Twilight Sparkle"
>You try not to laugh. You fail to suppress a snort.
>"Are you...okay?"
Yeah....yeah. So how much did Celestia tell you?
>"*Princess* Celestia told me you're supposed to study the magic of friendship with us, and that you're staying here for tonight. Not much more than that, I'm afraid."
Right. Magic of friendship? I'm having doubts.
>"I did as well at first, but soon enough I learned what it really meant."
>Well that wasn't cryptic as fuck.
Also, I guess there's some sort of party tomorrow night for me?
>"Pinkie Pie Parties are pretty...intense. I wouldn't suggest missing it."
Sweet.
>You spend the night learning about Equestria and all that shit.
>You tell Twilight you are able to do magic, but don't know how yet
>Big mistake. She starts rambling on about words you don't understand. Fuck that.
>The next morning, she takes you to meet the rest of the Elements of Harmony. What is even up with that name.
>"You've met Pinkie, of course. I believe Applejack sets up shop today. Ah, there she is.
>The entire town is continuing to stare at you wherever you go. Whatever. Stupid p0nies.
>"Whah hello there Twilight..and....friend?" The drawl is strong with this one.
>"Hello Applejack, this is Anon." Was there a guitar wailing when she said that?
Pleasure.
>"Well if yer a new friend, then allow me to treat you to one'a Sweet Apple Acres' apple fritters. Free'a charge."
Thanks, Applejack.
>What is even an apple fritters?.
>Sweet fucking Mary this is delicious.
>Applejack is clearly pleased at your reaction.
>"Y'all come back when'er ya like!" She waves as you and Twi walk off to the next place.
You all seem to have some pretty strong quirks, you know that?
>She blushes a little.
>"And just what is my quirk, pray tell?"
Geek.
>You take another bite and laugh as she fumes.
Just messin'. As long as none of you are little prissies I think I'll manage. Where to next?
>"Rarity's store, Carousel Boutique"
>FUCK
>What a completely ridiculous-looking building
>You two enter the door. The bell rings and you hear a woman's voice sing "Just a miiinuuuuute~!"
>Why are you here
>Xeos: "FRIENDSHIP"
>Fuck you Xeos
>Another unicorn? Weird, what would magic have to do with clothes? These p0nies aren't even wearing clothes.
>"Oh MY! What DO you have here, Twilight?"
>Prissy priss
My name's Anon
>You swear you hear a guitar wailing outside
>"Charmed. My name is Rarity, Equestria's famous fashion designer. What brings you to Ponyville, Mr. Anon?"
>"He's here to learn about the magic of friendship. I guess he's on some sort of mission from his own ruler or something?"
I'm a demi-god of music, in training.
>Rarity gasps "Why, that's preposterous!"
Whatever. Who's next Twi?
>Rarity is mad, but whatever. You need to get away from her quick.
>"Oh...uh, well we can meet up with Rainbow Dash on the way to Fluttershy's. Bye Rarity!"
>Your brain can't handle two of the names at once and you burst out laughing.
>"Seriously, what is wrong with you?! You laugh every time I tell you somep0ny's name!"
Your names are just ridiculous, that's all.
>You two start walking in silence out of town while Twi fumes. Well, it's true.
Just how far out does she live?
>"It'll be a few minutes of walking."
>You summon a guitar to play while you walk
>Twilight nearly jumps out of her skin....fur.....whatever
>"What is that? And I thought you said you didn't know magic yet?"
It's a guitar. Don't you have guitars? I swear I kept hearing one around town.
>"Well, nothing like that! Ours have a big, hollow body at the bottom to better use accoustics..."
Like this?
>You change from your normal electric to an accoustic. So clunky, but you can't have an amp at all times.
>Oh wait, YOU can.
>"Yes! And just how are you doing that!"
I dunno. Just comes naturally.
>She's dumbfounded.
>You walk another minute or two wordless, just jamming on your electric, until Twi speaks up again
>"Dash should be-"
>Is that a rainbow coming toward you? Weird
>Yes, shit, it's going to hit you
>You ready a power chord, and blast it when the rainbow is about to hit you
>"WOOOAAAAHH" The rainbow dissipates and a cyan pony is now tumbling back away from you.
>"Agh....What was that cool sound?" If these p0nies' voices keep being indicative of their personalities, you and Dash are probably get along great.
Never heard of rock?
>You break into a quick four-bar solo. There echoes another guitar in harmony with you.
>"That. Was. AWWWESOME!!!"
>Oh yeah, she's cool.
Anon
>There's that wailing again. You extend a fist.
>"Dash" Brohoof engaged. A two-guitar lick squeals out this time. You swear you see the reflection of an explosion in Dash's eyes.
Seriously, where is that sound coming from?
>The two p0nies glance at each other before ignoring the question.
>"So what brings a...whatever you are, to Ponyville?"
Human.
>Twilight answers directly after "He's here to learn about the friendship of magic."
>"Huh. Cool."
>Not even fucking Dash raises so much as an eyebrow at that? What the hell kind of place is this?
>"I suppose you've met Pinkie by now. You gonna be at her party tonight?"
Hell yeah!
>"Sweet. Can't wait. Kind of weird that she's having it out in the fields though."
That was my idea.
>"Oookay then. Your party, I guess. I'm gonna go catch some sleep. Later."
>She zooms off before you can even reply.
>Obviously expects to be up all night. That mare knows what's up.
She's cool.
>"Whatever you say. Here's Fluttershy's cottage."
>You haven't even seen this many animals in one place in a zoo.
>There was a yellow pegasus there with a pink mane. Her back was to you.
>It looked like she was throwing out feed to a group of chickens.
>You haven't had meat since you got here......
>*POW* Xeos: "FOCUS"
>DO YOU HAVE TO STRIKE ME EVERY TIME
>*POW*
>FUCK FINE
>"Hey Fluttershy!" Twilight called out.
>Fluttershy set down her bag and turned around
>"Oh, hello Twilight"
>Heart, what the fuck was that
>Sorry bro, I tripped
>Well don't again
>Did you hear her voice though?
>Sure did. Damn.
>"I wasn't expec-EEP!"
>Did someone step on a mouse? Oh shit there she went into the cottage. Why is everyone so fast?
>Twilight breaks your thoughts "I'm sorry Anon, she'll take a while to warm up to you."
>Wait, you're feeling something. You got this.
>"Here, let me get her o-" You stop her
I got this.
>You don't always use an accoustic.
>But when you do, it's a party for two.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFjw4IAkQEQ
In a field outside of town...
>Twilight is astonished. Bitch, I told you what I am.
It tasted heavenly...
>You can see the top of Fluttershy's ahead peering out of an upstairs window.
So gooooooood.....
>She's at full attention now
...Inside this sad, sad song...
>Fluttershy sings the next stanza
>"I knew this was a dream, it was too good to be true."
>If your music wasn't a well-oiled machine it would have just clogged
>Voice of an angel
I wake up and I feel alone...
>You're both singing together now
>She's floating next to you, totally into it
"Inside this sad, saaad sooooong"
>Twilight is floored
>All the animals are staring
Anon
>You bow. Where's the wail this time?
>"Oh, I'm....Fluttershy" A piano trills.
>Twilight is speechless
>Fluttershy breaks the silence "I...oh...wow, I don't know what came over me...I just felt so happy!"
>You chuckle a bit.
I told you.
>"I....how.....what..."
>"What are you doing here, Anon? I don't believe I've ever seen a creature like you."
Well, I'm supposed to be here learning about some power of friendship or something.
>"The magic of friendship?" she cocks her head.
>Why does everyone know what this thing is but you
>What is it even
>Well you guess that was why you were here: to learn what it is.
Yeah. I guess it's important to me learning music or something?
>"Oh, well, I don't know much about music. I don't even know how I knew that song."
It's just a part of the music. Hard to explain.
>"Right, well, Twilight here is the best p0ny to teach you allll about the magic of friendship."
Good to know. Anyway, I think we need to be going. I'll see you at the party tonight, I hope?
>"Oh, of course, Anon! I wouldn't want to miss your party for anything!"
>It's hard to attribute those with exclamation points with how soft her voice is. Whatever works.
>You and Twilight head back to town.
>Those baby p0ny things are making a poor effort of sneaking behind you
Hey Twi?
>"Just ignore them. We're too busy to entertain those fillies
>Baby p0ny = filly, this shit is coming easy
>They dive, rather loudly, into a bush next to you
>You and Twilight stop
>Your left hand motions like you're ripping out a triplette (I've never actually seen this word written out) and the bush fwooshes up in fire, leaving the singed wood and the untouched fillies.
>Damn you're good
>They just stare at you for a second before they jump in front of you one by one
>"APPLEBLOOM!" Must be related to Applejack
>"SWEETIE BELL!" Cute.
>"SCOOTALOO!" You almost laugh. You suppress it down to a wide smirk.
>"AND WE'RE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!"
>Nope, there it goes. You completely lose your shit at how hilariously adorable they are.
>"Why are you laughing at us?" Sweetie Bell looks up with huge puppy eyes
>You feel terrible suddenly. Like you took everything wonderful in the world and threw it into the sun.
I'm sorry. Cute overload. Name's Anon.
>Would someone put that guitar down already?
>"Cool!" Scootaloo looks like some sort of skater with that board. Too bad she's too young to have a real party with. She'd probably be a bro.
>Wait, little girls being bro-tier? This place is fucking with your head.
Alright, well, I'll see you three around. Twi'n'I are busy at the moment.
>Xeos: "Sweet slur bro"
>Thanks Xeos
>"AWWWW" they said in unison
>They walk off complaining about something involving a cutie mark or some shit
Anyway. Business.
>"Right."

Because you didn't let me get in a word.
>"Well OF COURSE silly! SOMEP0NY has to plan this party!"
Party?
>You like parties.
>"Weren't you listening? We HAVE to throw you a party! Everyp0ny new gets a party!"
I've heard of worse reasons to throw a party. How about tomorrow night, out in one of the surrounding fields?
>What better party than a concert?
>"YEAH! Lots of room to jump and play!"
Jump and play....right.....anyway I'm looking for a....pony....named Twilight Sparkle, do yo-
>She just jumped higher than your head. What?
>"OFCOURSEFOLLOWME"
What?
>She just disappeared. She was there, next second she wasn't.
What.
>"Come on silly filly!" and you were being dragged along.

>Why are these books floating on their own?
>Oh right. Magic.
>"Hey Twilight you'll never guess what I found in town and he wants to meet you he even knows your name"
Please. Make it stop.
>"PINKIE!"
>She finally stopped. Thank fucking God.
>"Thank you Pinkie Pie. Yes, I know who he is. You should probably be getting home; it's nighttime."
>"Okey dokie lokie!" And she was gone
Finally.
>"Bit of an earful, right?"
Yeah. Anyway, I'm Anon.
>"Twilight Sparkle"
>You try not to laugh. You fail to suppress a snort.
>"Are you...okay?"
Yeah....yeah. So how much did Celestia tell you?
>"*Princess* Celestia told me you're supposed to study the magic of friendship with us, and that you're staying here for tonight. Not much more than that, I'm afraid."
Right. Magic of friendship? I'm having doubts.
>"I did as well at first, but soon enough I learned what it really meant."
>Well that wasn't cryptic as fuck.
Also, I guess there's some sort of party tomorrow night for me?
>"Pinkie Pie Parties are pretty...intense. I wouldn't suggest missing it."
Sweet.

>You spend the night learning about Equestria and all that shit.
>You tell Twilight you are able to do magic, but don't know how yet
>Big mistake. She starts rambling on about words you don't understand. Fuck that.
>The next morning, she takes you to meet the rest of the Elements of Harmony. What is even up with that name.
>"You've met Pinkie, of course. I believe Applejack sets up shop today. Ah, there she is.
>The entire town is continuing to stare at you wherever you go. Whatever. Stupid p0nies.
>"Whah hello there Twilight..and....friend?" The drawl is strong with this one.
>"Hello Applejack, this is Anon." Was there a guitar wailing when she said that?
Pleasure.
>"Well if yer a new friend, then allow me to treat you to one'a Sweet Apple Acres' apple fritters. Free'a charge."
Thanks, Applejack.
>What is even an apple fritters?.
>Sweet fucking Mary this is delicious.
>Applejack is clearly pleased at your reaction.
>"Y'all come back when'er ya like!" She waves as you and Twi walk off to the next place.
You all seem to have some pretty strong quirks, you know that?
>She blushes a little.
>"And just what is my quirk, pray tell?"
Geek.
>You take another bite and laugh as she fumes.
Just messin'. As long as none of you are little prissies I think I'll manage. Where to next?
>"Rarity's store, Carousel Boutique"
>FUCK

>What a completely ridiculous-looking building
>You two enter the door. The bell rings and you hear a woman's voice sing "Just a miiinuuuuute~!"
>Why are you here
>Xeos: "FRIENDSHIP"
>Fuck you Xeos
>Another unicorn? Weird, what would magic have to do with clothes? These p0nies aren't even wearing clothes.
>"Oh MY! What DO you have here, Twilight?"
>Prissy priss
My name's Anon
>You swear you hear a guitar wailing outside
>"Charmed. My name is Rarity, Equestria's famous fashion designer. What brings you to Ponyville, Mr. Anon?"
>"He's here to learn about the magic of friendship. I guess he's on some sort of mission from his own ruler or something?"
I'm a demi-god of music, in training.
>Rarity gasps "Why, that's preposterous!"
Whatever. Who's next Twi?
>Rarity is mad, but whatever. You need to get away from her quick.
>"Oh...uh, well we can meet up with Rainbow Dash on the way to Fluttershy's. Bye Rarity!"
>Your brain can't handle two of the names at once and you burst out laughing.
>"Seriously, what is wrong with you?! You laugh every time I tell you somep0ny's name!"
Your names are just ridiculous, that's all.
>You two start walking in silence out of town while Twi fumes. Well, it's true.

Just how far out does she live?
>"It'll be a few minutes of walking."
>You summon a guitar to play while you walk
>Twilight nearly jumps out of her skin....fur.....whatever
>"What is that? And I thought you said you didn't know magic yet?"
It's a guitar. Don't you have guitars? I swear I kept hearing one around town.
>"Well, nothing like that! Ours have a big, hollow body at the bottom to better use accoustics..."
Like this?
>You change from your normal electric to an accoustic. So clunky, but you can't have an amp at all times.
>Oh wait, YOU can.
>"Yes! And just how are you doing that!"
I dunno. Just comes naturally.
>She's dumbfounded.
>You walk another minute or two wordless, just jamming on your electric, until Twi speaks up again
>"Dash should be-"
>Is that a rainbow coming toward you? Weird
>Yes, shit, it's going to hit you
>You ready a power chord, and blast it when the rainbow is about to hit you
>"WOOOAAAAHH" The rainbow dissipates and a cyan pony is now tumbling back away from you.
>"Agh....What was that cool sound?" If these p0nies' voices keep being indicative of their personalities, you and Dash are probably get along great.
Never heard of rock?
>You break into a quick four-bar solo. There echoes another guitar in harmony with you.

>"That. Was. AWWWESOME!!!"
>Oh yeah, she's cool.
Anon
>There's that wailing again. You extend a fist.
>"Dash" Brohoof engaged. A two-guitar lick squeals out this time. You swear you see the reflection of an explosion in Dash's eyes.
Seriously, where is that sound coming from?
>The two p0nies glance at each other before ignoring the question.
>"So what brings a...whatever you are, to Ponyville?"
Human.
>Twilight answers directly after "He's here to learn about the friendship of magic."
>"Huh. Cool."
>Not even fucking Dash raises so much as an eyebrow at that? What the hell kind of place is this?
>"I suppose you've met Pinkie by now. You gonna be at her party tonight?"
Hell yeah!
>"Sweet. Can't wait. Kind of weird that she's having it out in the fields though."
That was my idea.
>"Oookay then. Your party, I guess. I'm gonna go catch some sleep. Later."
>She zooms off before you can even reply.
>Obviously expects to be up all night. That mare knows what's up.
She's cool.
>"Whatever you say. Here's Fluttershy's cottage."
>You haven't even seen this many animals in one place in a zoo.

>There was a yellow pegasus there with a pink mane. Her back was to you.
>It looked like she was throwing out feed to a group of chickens.
>You haven't had meat since you got here......
>*POW* Xeos: "FOCUS"
>DO YOU HAVE TO STRIKE ME EVERY TIME
>*POW*
>FUCK FINE
>"Hey Fluttershy!" Twilight called out.
>Fluttershy set down her bag and turned around
>"Oh, hello Twilight"
>Heart, what the fuck was that
>Sorry bro, I tripped
>Well don't again
>Did you hear her voice though?
>Sure did. Damn.
>"I wasn't expec-EEP!"
>Did someone step on a mouse? Oh shit there she went into the cottage. Why is everyone so fast?
>Twilight breaks your thoughts "I'm sorry Anon, she'll take a while to warm up to you."
>Wait, you're feeling something. You got this.
>"Here, let me get her o-" You stop her
I got this.

>You don't always use an accoustic.
>But when you do, it's a party for two.
>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFjw4IAkQEQ
In a field outside of town...
>Twilight is astonished. Bitch, I told you what I am.
It tasted heavenly...
>You can see the top of Fluttershy's ahead peering out of an upstairs window.
So gooooooood.....
>She's at full attention now
...Inside this sad, sad song...
>Fluttershy sings the next stanza
>"I knew this was a dream, it was too good to be true."
>If your music wasn't a well-oiled machine it would have just clogged
>Voice of an angel
I wake up and I feel alone...
>You're both singing together now
>She's floating next to you, totally into it
"Inside this sad, saaad sooooong"
>Twilight is floored
>All the animals are staring
Anon
>You bow. Where's the wail this time?
>"Oh, I'm....Fluttershy" A piano trills.

>Twilight is speechless
>Fluttershy breaks the silence "I...oh...wow, I don't know what came over me...I just felt so happy!"
>You chuckle a bit.
I told you.
>"I....how.....what..."
>"What are you doing here, Anon? I don't believe I've ever seen a creature like you."
Well, I'm supposed to be here learning about some power of friendship or something.
>"The magic of friendship?" she cocks her head.
>Why does everyone know what this thing is but you
>What is it even
>Well you guess that was why you were here: to learn what it is.
Yeah. I guess it's important to me learning music or something?
>"Oh, well, I don't know much about music. I don't even know how I knew that song."
It's just a part of the music. Hard to explain.
>"Right, well, Twilight here is the best p0ny to teach you allll about the magic of friendship."
Good to know. Anyway, I think we need to be going. I'll see you at the party tonight, I hope?
>"Oh, of course, Anon! I wouldn't want to miss your party for anything!"
>It's hard to attribute those with exclamation points with how soft her voice is. Whatever works.
>You and Twilight head back to town.

>Those baby p0ny things are making a poor effort of sneaking behind you
Hey Twi?
>"Just ignore them. We're too busy to entertain those fillies
>Baby p0ny = filly, this shit is coming easy
>They dive, rather loudly, into a bush next to you
>You and Twilight stop
>Your left hand motions like you're ripping out a triplette (I've never actually seen this word written out) and the bush fwooshes up in fire, leaving the singed wood and the untouched fillies.
>Damn you're good
>They just stare at you for a second before they jump in front of you one by one
>"APPLEBLOOM!" Must be related to Applejack
>"SWEETIE BELL!" Cute.
>"SCOOTALOO!" You almost laugh. You suppress it down to a wide smirk.
>"AND WE'RE THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!"
>Nope, there it goes. You completely lose your shit at how hilariously adorable they are.
>"Why are you laughing at us?" Sweetie Bell looks up with huge puppy eyes
>You feel terrible suddenly. Like you took everything wonderful in the world and threw it into the sun.
I'm sorry. Cute overload. Name's Anon.
>Would someone put that guitar down already?
>"Cool!" Scootaloo looks like some sort of skater with that board. Too bad she's too young to have a real party with. She'd probably be a bro.
>Wait, little girls being bro-tier? This place is fucking with your head.
Alright, well, I'll see you three around. Twi'n'I are busy at the moment.
>Xeos: "Sweet slur bro"
>Thanks Xeos
>"AWWWW" they said in unison
>They walk off complaining about something involving a cutie mark or some shit
Anyway. Business.
>"Right."
