Open your eyes when You’re nice and ready. >Oh shit, there’s something coming. >You manage to peel your eyes open. >How did you get in the forest? What happened? >You manage to get to an unsteady standing position thanks to a tree. >Thank you kind tree. >Shit, the noise is getting closer... Wait, is that humming? Oh thank goodness, it’s gotta a person. >You try to call for help, but all you can manage is an unintelligible grunt. >You hear whoever was humming screech. >Good jab, you must have scared her off.... >”He... hello?” A soft voice calls out. >You try to call out again before collapsing. >Weeellllllllll shit. She probably thinks you’re a bear or something and ran off. >”Oh my!” You hear. Hope restoring. “You poor thing.... what... what are you?” >Oh man, you’re so fucked up she can’t even recognize what you are >You turn your head and open your eyes with your remaining strength. >That..... that’s a yellow and pink p0ny with hair.... >Well dude, you’re obviously more messed up than we thought. Mind if I shut off for a bit? >Yeah brain, that’s probably for the best. >You promptly pass out.   >Hard reset completed, Would you like to activate in safe mode? >What are you talking about brain? Just bring me around. >You slowly open your eyes. It appears you’re in a very rustic cottage. >Hey, you’re all bandaged, that’s cool. >Oh yeah, that nice p0ny must have helped you. >Wait, p0ny? that’s not right. >I told you to start in safe mode. >Not now brain. >You try to sit up and let out a grunt of pain. >You hear movement from downstairs. Your savior must have been alerted by your noises. >Oh good, now you can thank them and..... >Yellow p0ny.... >Pink hair.... >Wings..... >You two stare at eachother for a second before you scream and roll out of bed and hit the floor painfully. >”It’s ok... I won’t hurt you.” Hory sheet it talks! >You peek over the bed that is now your only cover between this marshmallow thing and you. >”Don’t worry,” She coos in an utterly adorable and soft voice. She moves closer to you. You don’t move. She’s much smaller than you, “I won’t hurt you, please don’t run.” >You slowly get to your feet. “O.... ok.” >What just happened? She screamed and is now hiding from you.   >”You... you.... you can talk?” She says in a shuddering voice. >That makes you laugh. “I actually thought the same about you.” >Ow, laughing hurts. You lay back down on the bed. “What happened? Who... what are you?” >She comes back in and makes sure your bandages are secure and you’re not bleeding again. >”My name’s Fluttershy and I’m a Pegasus p0ny.” >You understand the individual words, but combined they make no sense to you. >”As for what happened,” She continues, “I don’t really know. I just found you hurt in the woods.” >”So you just dragged back a strange creature all because it was hurt? ….I’m Anon by the way.’ You say as you watch her hooves check you over. >She tilts her head in confusion. “Of course. You needed help.” >Wow. >You reach up and take her hoof in your hand. >She ‘eeps’ adorably, but doesn’t pull away. >You give her a smile that puts her at ease. “Thank you.” >She blushes and smiles. She’s just the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen. >”So um..” she starts, “What kind of animal ARE you?” >Hmmm. “I’m not an animal.” >Uh yes, technically you are. >Stop being so smart brain. >”I’m a human.” >She ponders on the word for a bit. “A hyoo-man? I’ve never heard or seen one of those before.” >Wait... so you’re all alone?   >Okok, take inventory. >You’re either hallucinating, dead and in some form of afterlife, or in another dimension. >You just accept the circumstances for the time being. >Not like there’s much you can do all messed up like you are. >Fluttershy’s alright. She takes really good care of you. >Food’s ok, if you were a vegetarian. >On about the third or fourth day, she brings a friend over. >This one’s purple and has a horn. Fantastic. >She calls herself Twilight Sparkle. Ok these things have weird names. >You try to greet yourself, but she’s too interested in WHAT you are to care about WHO you are. >OH SHIT! She magics the blanket off of you. >You’re too stunned by the magic to remember that you’re naked. >She jots down some notes as you try to retain a little bit of dignity. >Just as you get your stuff situated a blur of pink almost gusts the blanket right back off. >Why is she so loud? And high pitched? >She’s going a million miles a minute. >You mouth is stuffed with cupcakes before she mentions something about clothes and ‘Rarity’ whatever that is. Maybe human sized clothes are a rare thing to find? >Then as fast as she appears, she’s gone. >Were we just orally raped with baked goods? >I think so brain. >Could be worse.   >You finally realize the ‘Rarity’ the pink one, known as Pinkie Pie, was just another magic p0ny. >She at least lets you wrap yourself as she measures you for some clothing. >She seems like she’d be a bitch until she mentions she’s make you a variety of clothing as a welcome gift. >That’s pretty cool. >OMG! That one is a rainbow! >Uh oh, she’s just staring at you. Well you were bound to meet at least one that.... >”Oh my GOSH! It’s so cool!” She finally exclaims. “Does it do any tricks? >That’s insulting. “I can.... talk.” >She scoffs. “So anyp0ny can TALK.” >You don’t think you like her as much as the others. This ‘Rainbow Dash’. >Fluttershy comes to your defense. “Rainbow Dash, don’t be so mean. Anon is a wonderful human, he doesn’t need to do any ‘tricks’ for you.” >Dash rolls her eyes. “Fiiiine. Whatever, I’ll catch you later Anon. You seem like you might be fun to hang out with.” >Hehe, yeah right.   >You’re finally done meeting All of Fluttershy’s friends, or so you thought. >You’ve recovered enough to help Fluttershy clean her place which is nice because she’s out getting food and you want to earn your keep. >After everything she’s done for you, it’s the least you could do. >Her pet rabbit keeps you company and helps out as much he can. Man, animals here rock. >There’s a knock at the door. You decide to ignore it, but Angel gets it himself. >”Well howdy ther. You must be that Anon feller I heard so much about.” You turn and see an orange p0ny with a p0ny tail mane. >Makes you laugh inside. >”Um... yeah and you are?” >She helps herself in. At first you’re concerned, but Angel seems cool with it, so whatever. >”Where’re mah manners, I’m Applejack. Pleased to meet ya.” She holds out a hoof and you reach down to shake it. >She looks at your hands. “Well look at that, bet they can do all sortsa tings.” >Oooookay, creepy. >You pull your hand away and get back to work. “Fluttershy went out for a bit. Don’t know when she’ll get back.” >You hear this Applejack clipcloppin’ her way in behind you. >”That’s alright ther. Mind if I be frank with ya.” You gotta admit, her drawl’s kinda sweet sounding. >You look over your shoulder. Is she? Is she checking you out. “Uh, yeah go right ahead.” >”Ya ever think about interspecies procreation?” >Oooookay, zero to super uncomfortable in mere seconds. >You know what, she seems like a good humored p0ny. “Miss Applejack, the only way to get in bed with me is to force me too.” >Heh, good one brain. You expressed your disinterest in a humorous fashion. Certainly nothing bad will come out of this.   >Wow, these p0ny people are REALLY nice. >The Mayor declares you a citizen and the whole fucking town comes together to build you a house. >You would have thought they would have been scared of you or something. >Apparently Fluttershy’s word that you’re ok is enough to make you.... accepted. >You venture into town on your own for the first time. >Yeah, they accept you, but that doesn’t mean they won’t still give you a wide berth. >Except for 3 kids. They charge right up to you. >”SEE told ya AJ wasn’t tellin’ a tale. He’s like a million feet tall.” Says the yellow and red young one. Must be related to that Applejack. >”Not quite that big...” >”Ahm Applebloom, this here’s Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.” She says pointing to her unicorn and flamboyantly coloured pegasus friends respectively. >You kneel down to be closer to their eye level. “I’m Anon, it’s nice to meet you.” >”We’re looking for our Cutie Mark, what’s yours?” Oh man, that white unicorn’s voice is so high pitched. >You chuckle. I don’t really have one. Human’s don’t get one.” Fluttershy informed you about this mark buisness when you asked why everyp0ny had a trampstamp. >They look at eachother and start to walk away. You hear the one called Scootaloo say “Humans are weird.” >Stupid kids. >Just need to get a few more things, big move tomorrow.   >Fluttershy helps you move. Not that it’s hard. You don’t really have anything. >You start settling in and she trots up to you with a smile. “I’m so glad you’re staying. If you want I can make dinner tonight and breakfast for you in the morning.” >You pat her head. “I don’t think that’s really necessary. I can take care of myself now. I don’t really need to have you around all the time.” >She turns and her hair covers her eyes. “Oh... Ok.... If you need anything, you can let me know.” >She walks out slowly. “Haha, hopefully not Fluttershy.” She’s a good one. >Ok, you unpack your two bags of clothes and... well that’s it. That’s all you have. >There’s a knock at your door. When you open it, that crazy blue Pegasus zips in. “Hey Anon, I think we got off on the wrong hoof.” Hehe, no duh. “So I brought you a housewarming gift.” >OMG is that alcohol? >Maybe this Rainbow Dash isn’t too bad afterall. >After a few drinks, you realize that you need to do what you did back wherever you were from. >Just keep a couple of close friends and keep the hell out of everyone’s business.
