Tree House Chapter 4 (Unfinished - 1 part)

>Anon! Are you home?

>You are most assuredly Anon.

>But you aren't at home as of now.

>In fact you were just returning to it when you heard someone calling for you

 pretty loudly.

>That someone being her Smartbuttness Twilight Sparkle

, her voice probably alerting and scaring off any creature wondering around.

>Currently you are slowly approaching your treehouse

>And once you are out of the bushes you can clearly see Twilight standing in front of the tree, head held high, probably hoping for you to come out.

>You have expected her to get back, but that was earlier than you thought. It seems you've underestimated her research curiosity.

>"Well, I've been calling for five minutes already, guess he isn't home after all."

>Twilight sighed and started pulling a square object out of her saddlebag

. A box of some sorts.

>"I guess I should just leave the package here - hopefully nothing would eat it till he finds it."

>You considered just waiting for her to leave but...

>She is a persistent one. She'll come back to talk to you anyway. And you told her she can visit so what is the point in hiding.

>Not that she is guaranteed to meet you next time as you don't really have a set schedule of your presence at home.

>That and the prospect of talking to someone without constant rhyming sounds incredibly appealing.

"Or you can give the package to me directly", - you say as you step through the bushes.

>Twilight turns around with a yelp and drops the box on the ground with a loud thud.

>"Holy Celestia, Anon! Don't scare me like that!"

>You approach Twilight, smiling and shrugging her scare off.

"I haven't thought that my voice sounds that scary, Twilight."

>"It's... not what i meant."

"And what did you mean?"

>She calms her breath and just smiles at you. "No, you are not going to catch me in this loop, Anon. I'm glad to see you. And I wanted to thank you for what you've done."

"You've already thanked me enough. Stop flattering me, i might get used to it."

 

–-------

 

>"Well it's never a bad thing to be on good terms with a sole representative of a whole another species, and a powerful mage." Twilight suddenly blushes after saying that. Cute. It looks like she did not quite thought that through.

>A mage? Why would she say that?

"And still with the flattering. Anyway - standing out here is pleasant enought - but wouldn't you agree it's better to come inside?"

>You snicker internally at your horrible pun.

>"Y-yes, sure. So I'll wait here for you to drop me a rope same as last time?"

"I have another idea."

>Achievement unlocked - give a piggy back ride to a pony.

 

>You are now Twilight Sparkle

>And it feels weird.

>The realization of the fact that you are fully dependent on this weird creature under you

.

>You are clutching

onto his back, almost as a filly riding your brother.

>Strong thrusts with which he's pulling both of you up.

>His soft and smooth skin...

>That's a weird thought. You never considered starting the study of his biological traits with the skin quality.

>What's more important is how he has really strong hands.

>Further proof that he is a descendant of some kind of apes.

>And living on a tree... too fitting.

>In any way your ascent quickly ends with him dropping you on the couch and plopping onto an armchair next to it, panting slightly.

>You didn't even notice him getting you inside the house! How embarrassing!

"Oh, sorry I kinda lost myself in thought..."

>"Never mind, I do that all the time. It was a pleasure to carry you anyway - you aren't heavy after all."

>Hah! Take that Rainbow! Even an unknown creature from who knows where don't think you weigh too much!

"Yeah, well thanks for inviting me - I just wanted to well... Give you this little present and say hello."

>"And that's it?", - he smiles at you and looks inquisitively.

>He's smart, you can give him that.

"And I also wanted to continue our discussion from last time. Know a little more about you and your species”

.

 

–------------

 

>"That's cool. I'm actually happy that you came to visit. And it's nice to talk to someone that is not constantly rhyming."

"Oh, I assume you mostly communicate with Zecora then?"

>"Yep. Her hints were most valuable in regards to local wildlife and nature. She was also happy to spare some supplies in exchange for me hanging a mask higher in her hut. She even got me some tea... That reminds me - let me get you some tea."

>It's a letdown that it's not any kind of rare drink from his homeland - but Zecora has the best tea out there - so you can't complaint.

"That sounds great. I actually have something to go with the tea!"

>You pull the box back from the saddlebag and put it on the table in front of you.

>Hope none of the cupcakes suffered from the impact.

>"So what's in this mystery box, Twilight?"

"You can open it - I hope you like it. But please don't be offended in case you don't like it or can't eat it - as I'm not aware of your species dietary preferences. From what you've mentioned earlier you can eat pretty much everything we can - and pastries were one of the items you've mentioned. So this in our culture is a gesture of thanks, that is not binding you to any responsibility to answer it, and does not hold any other meanings... Just so that you won't get a wrong impression.”

>You blurt it all in one long sentence. Good thing you've rehearsed it on the way here.

>Anon stares at you with a smile and an eyebrow cocked for a second and then pulls the rope to open the box.

 

>In the next couple seconds

 your world seems to break apart.

>You hear a scream.

>The joyful scream that horrified the guts out of you.

>The absolute worst thing that could happen.

>In hindsight you could have predicted this outcome of events.

>Not sure if you could have prevented it though. In any case your eardrums are currently bombarded with a loud

>”SURPRISE!!!”

>Confetti is flying all over the room, streamers getting over the branches.

>Pinkie Pie. The one and only.

>”Oh my gosh I'm just in time for a TEA PARTY! And I brought cupcakes! Well that's actually Twilight who brought cupcakes but I was the one who baked them so please please try one or two or you can try every one of them if you like them which I'm sure you would because I spent soooo much time baking them and it would be pretty sad to..."

“PINKIE PIE!”

>”Oh twilight also don't drop the presents - that's a really bad idea as I was in there and...“

 

”PINKIE!”

>... and my name is Pinkie Pie and I'm so excited to meet a new friend, well you are actually Twilight's friend but this will not stop us from being...

 

 

>You are prepared to this. You have always considered this was going to happen. The only encounter you planned ahead. You hoped that it would happened later rather than sooner. But meeting Twilight

seemed to hasten the process.

>The acting classes you've taken as a kid were not for this purpose - but they can still help.

>You can do this, Anon. You. Can. Do. This.

>You are the one. Unstoppable force of nature.

Now is your time to shine.

 

>”Heeeeya there Pinkie Pie my name is actually Anon nice to meet you and all just a short heads-up I've come from far away land, got here by accident, currently live here in the everfree I'll definitely try a cupcake and yes I was surprised, yes we can be friends, but there are a couple things I want to mention first - friends don't sneak in the friend's houses whatever the reasons, I can forgive you but you have to promise me never to do that again and never come uninvited in my house because that's what friends do, do we have a deal?

>”Okie dokie lokie! Want a cupcake?”

”I'm on it.”

>You munch on a cupcake and turn your gaze to Twilight.

“So you did tell your friends about my existence after all?”

 

>You are Twilight and your brain is in a state of complete shock.

>Did he just... Outpinkie Pinkie Pie?

>How

>What

>Now there's two of them!

 

 

–---

 

 

 

>With an audible enjoyment Anon takes a bite, chews it down and meets your eyes.

>"“So you did tell your friends about my existence after all?”

>Your heart drops. Sweat instantly begins to form and it suddenly is too hot here.

"N... No I didn't!"

>"You didn't?"

>"Yep! She didn't tell me, but she was so secretive about it and I just HAD to investigate and so I hid in the box to see who's that secret pony friend of hers, but it was not a pony and actually I was surprised about it and ooooh, you are gooood, I was trying to surprise you and it was actually you who outsurprised me and..."

“THAT'S EXACTLY THE PROBLEM, PINKIE PIE!

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SECRET! I PROMISED ANON NOPONY WILL KNOW ABOUT HIS EXISTENSE FROM ME!”

>"Oooooh. But you did not actually tell me! So you did not actually break a promise. And it wasn't a pinkie promise too, or else I'd knew about it!"

"You don't understand! It's still my fault! I betrayed a trust of a new friend and now.. now”

 

>”Hey can I get into it for a second?”

>Your rant is immediately halted by realization that Anon is actually in the room.

>He's munching on another cupcake, not frowning any more. Probably the cupcakes made him feel better about it. Maybe you can earn his trust again and he won't kick you out!

>"It seems to me, Pinkie Pie that you owe Twilight a big apology."

>”Oh I'm SOOOO...”

>”STOP!”

>Anon points his finger at her, his shout disrupting her apology in midair.

>”Stop. You will apologize later. It's between you and her, don't drag me into it. I already forgave you about it – but now in relation to me - I'm going to take YOUR word too, that YOU will not tell anyone about me.”

>”Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!”

>Pinkie did all the gestures, probably considering following it up with a secret digging procedure, but thought better of it and just waited for the response.

>”Good enough. Now about you Twilight.”

 

–---

 

 

>Good thing you never had any health issues - or you fear you might be having a cardiac arrest right now.

>”Given this new information - I'm not mad at you, you did nothing wrong after all.”

>”BUT!”, - he points his finger at you, “you both have to proceed with caution from now on”.

>The tension in the room seem to physically evaporate as the relief washes over you.

“Oh Anon, I PROMISE nothing like that will happen again!”

>Anon reaches for another cupcake in the box and simply answeres:

>”I trust you. Want a cupcake?”

>You are once again in full control of your emotions. Sharing food is universally a gesture of trust and you take it as that.

“Thank you very much anon! I'd love one!”

>”Now I'm going to make us some tea. You both can talk about your situation now. And Pinkie?”

>”Yes, Nonny?”

>”Get off the table, will you?”
