- ________Continued from AiE 2.5-RainbowJack/AppleDash___________
- Applejack was growing smaller and smaller in your field of vision as you soared higher and higher towards the clouds.
- You felt like shouting out to Rainbow Dash, but the wind rushed past your face too quickly for any noise to come out, in fact, the speed of your accent made it hard to breathe
- She kept going higher- she really didn’t want anyone to see you. By the time you passed out, she was well above any height you’d experienced on earth.
- You only came to when you felt a cold splash of water on your face. Shocked awake by the crude method, you sat up-jittery and shivering, and Rainbow was nowhere to be seen
- “I assume you’re Twilight” you groan, struggling to get up, “and let me guess, you’re a unicorn?”
- “As a matter of fact I am!” she beamed, “Applejack was right, you aren’t stupid at all.”
- “I guess I can take that as a compliment”
- You stand up, and Twilight can get a full look at you, you catch her staring at you-unresponsive
- “Twilight?” you question, “are you there?” She shakes her head, releasing herself from the trance
- “Oh, um, sorry Anon” she said, her cheeks turning red, ”Why don’t you come inside so we can begin.”
- Over the next few hour, you had the opportunity to ask Twilight any and every question you had about Equestria; where were you, who some of the townsfolk were, who was this Celestia you’ve heard about, etc. etc. the whole ordeal was exhausting for you-mainly due to the fact that it was your first day.
- “I better get going Twilight, I’m going to need to find a hotel if I want to sleep soundly tonight.”
- “Oh don’t be silly Anon, you can sleep with me, I uh m-mean in my bed, A bed, here…you can sleep here”
- You are too tired to notice her slip up, the only thing you have on your mind is getting clean and going to sleep
- “ I guess I can, do you have a bathroom though, I really need to take a shower.”
- “But you don’t have any other clothes, what will you wear to sleep?”
- “I hadn’t thought about that, thank goodness I didn’t take that shower, otherwise I might have had to sleep naked!” You caught Twilight staring again, her eyes wide, pupils dilated.
- You poke her on the shoulder, “Twilight…” you call out, “hello?”
- Gee, this pony has a tendency to just freeze up
- She manages to form a crude sentence “we can talk to rar… in…morning”
- “Um…alright then…” you say with a confused timbre in your voice: “I’m going to go to bed.”
- Twilight doesn’t respond still, and you decide to head off to sleep.
- You don’t know when or even if Twilight went to bed, but you did know when she woke up…
- “I’ve been waiting for you to get up” Twilight whispers, sitting next to your bed, “I thought you’d never-“
- “Let me stop you right there and ask you, what were you doing sitting by my bed?”
- “Oh nothing really” she says sheepishly “ I just wanted to ask some questions about you and your world like you did to me yesterday.”
- You quickly brush off the little wake-up incident and prepare yourself for the onslaught of questions
- Most of them were normal things like: “ what was your family like?” and “ do you guys have magic?”
- Some of them were more personal…actually; a lot of them were personal
- “What do you like in a mare, I-uh mean, girl?”
- “Do you have a special somepony?”
- You put up with the questions, still not truly realizing what she was getting at. You didn’t even realize that she had scooted closer with each question.
- You did however get a little flustered when she started asking about your peculiar anatomy. You did understand that a biped in a world of (mostly) quadrupeds would be a subject of interest to such an academic pony, but you didn’t feel comfortable with her asking for sketching opportunity of you bare.
- Maybe she didn’t know people wore clothes all the time
- You didn’t really care, you just wanted to get some fresh air
- After Twilight rounded out the hour with questions, you decided to get more of a feel of the town you were going to be living in for the foreseeable future, and as you left the library, you couldn’t help but hear a few snippets of self conversation from the purple pony’s mouth
- “I almost got him to… clothes off…like ponies in that way?”
- Again, you being a bruised, tired individual, take no notice of her odd behavior as you take your jaunt into the middle of ponyville for the first time.
