  1. Day 2
  2. >Wake up
  3. >No dreams
  4. >Feeling genuinely like P. Diddy
  5. >Stand up
  6. >Regret sleeping on too-short couch
  7. >Look around for kitchen, find it, then proceed to mumble obscenities while trying to find bacon
  8. >Spike enters, asks what you’re looking for
  9. >Bacon
  10. >”Like from animals?”
  11. >”Duh”
  12. >”Ponies are vegetarians. They eat flowers and stuff.”
  13. >Facepalm
  14. >Common sense: 1 , Anon: 0
  15. >Salad it is then...
  16. >”So what are you going to do today anon?” Spike says as he sits down with a bowl of cereal.
  17. >You’ve seen the town, from Sweet Apple Acres to Sugarcube Corner and every place in between, but can’t decide on what to do.
  18. >”I dunno. Maybe take a shower and walk around town. Speaking of which, where is the shower?”
  19. >”Up the stairs and on the left.”
  20. >”Thanks Spike.”
  21. >”Uh, Anon?”
  22. >”Yeah?”
  23. >”You said you’re a soldier right?”
  24. >”That’s me, little buddy.”
  25. >”Did you ever have kill anyone?”
  26. > No longer feeling like P. Diddy
  27. >” I only killed to protect innocent people.”
  28. >”Oh, ok.”
  29. >Spike goes back to eating his breakfast of what you now notice to be gemstones while you climb the stairs to shower.
  30. >You mumble under your breath, “If only that were true...”
  31.  
  32. Needless to say, the shower is far smaller than you hoped.
  33. >Though you have to stoop to wash your hair, you manage nicely.
  34. >The sunshine and smiles feeling you had deflated the instant Spike asked you that question.
  35. >”Did you ever have to kill anyone?”
  36. >Why did it deflate you so much?
  37. >That you lied, or that you felt like you had to?
  38. >Spike wouldn’t understand; he’s too young to.
  39. >You doubt any of the other ponies would be able to relate either
  40. > Funny.
  41. >It’s just like home.
  42. >Your soul-searching  is interrupted with a knock at the door
  43. >”Twilight says not to use all the hot water in there anon!” Spike calls through the door.
  44. >You hurry up and finish, and decide to be less of soul-sucking downer than this morning made you feel
  45.  
  46. >Unfortunately, most of the ponies you hung out with yesterday have day jobs and Twilight is still researching ceaselessly in the library, so you’re left mostly to your own devices.
  47. >Most of the ponies in town find you an oddity, but few of them actually try to talk to you.
  48. >Most seem extremely nervous, which is understandable, considering you’re a hairless bipedal ape which no one even imagined existed.
  49. >You sit down on a park bench, a little worn out after walking through town all day.
  50. >You hear voices behind you
  51. >”Is that it?”
  52. >”What is it?”
  53. >”I wonder if it has a cutie mark too?”
  54. >Cutie mark?
  55. >“You’re wondering if I’ve got a what?” You say as you face the source of the noise.
  56. >Three small fillies, One an orange pegasis, one a yellow “regular” pony, and a white unicorn all “eeep!” in unison.
  57. >Seemingly stunned, they don’t respond.
  58. >You walk around the bench in front of them, and sit down in front of them.
  59. >”I’m not gonna hurt you, little girls, but what’s a cutie mark?”
  60. >A little bit reassured, the yellow one pipes up, “It’s the mark on your flank that shows what you’re best at! D’you got one?”
  61. >They all stare at you intently, expecting some reality shattering epiphany.
  62. > “Not really, but I’ve got something like it.”
  63. >Smiles widen on their faces as you roll up your sleeve to display your tattoo: the regimental insignia of special forces.
  64. >The orange one cocks her head to the side and asks, “What do those funny words mean?”
  65. >”It means, ‘To liberate the oppressed.’”
  66. >They “oooh” at this turn of events.
  67. >”How’d you get THAT?”
  68. >You regale them with tales of the special forces history,  how they freed the oppressed, brought down tyrants, and that you are one of them.
  69. >”That’s what we’ll be! Cutie Mark Commando’s!” The orange one exclaims.
  70. >You laugh out loud at this
  71. >OhGodMahDrills.jpg
  72. > When you manage to stop, they all look crestfallen.
  73. >”We’re never gonna get our cutie marks...”
  74. >”We’ll be blank flanks forever...”
  75. >Seeing your mistake, you say, “Listen girls, you’ll find what you’re good at one day, and something tells it won’t be being a soldier. Who knows? Maybe you (you point at the pegasis) will be an astronaut? Maybe you’ll (you point to the “regular” pony) be a famous actress. And who knows? Maybe this little unicorn will grow up and put Twilight’s magic to shame?
  76. >Smiling again, they chime, “Thanks mister!”
  77. >You catch their names before they dash off, happily chatting amongst themselves about what they’re going to be when they grow up.
  78. >You guess this world isn’t that much different than yours
  79.  
  80. >On your way back to Twilight’s house
  81. >Dark out now, having a hard time finding your way back
  82. > Spot cyan pony with rainbow mane
  83. >”Hey, Rainbow.”
  84. >”Hey Anon. What you doing out so late?”
  85. >”Just trying to find my way back to Twilight’s to hit the sack.”
  86. >”Buck that, lets get sloshed!”
  87. >Having not tasted alcohol in any of its glorious forms for over a year you jump at the thought. One thought stops you though.
  88. >”I don’t have any money, Dash”
  89. >”Pshhh, I got ya tonight. Can’t let a little thing like money stop the fun!”
  90. >Ilikewherethisgoing.jpg
  91. >Walk in the bar
  92. >Practically everyone turns to stare at you and Dash, but mostly you.
  93. >Walk to up to the bartender
  94. >He looks up at you with a little surprise, but that seems to be the standard fare around here
  95. >Dash pipes up, “You gonna stare all day at Anon or are ya going to get us some booze?”
  96. >Realizing his job, the bartender asks for your drinks
  97. >A beer for you and a line of shots for dash
  98. >”Just a beer? Come on, Anon, we need to get schlammered!”
  99. >Challenge accepted
  100. >Ever since a buddy told you about it, you’ve been meaning to try this drink
  101. >”Line me up a Flaming Dr. Pepper
  102. >After explaining what it is and how to make it, the bartender lines it up in front of you
  103. >holy shit it DOES taste like Dr. Pepper!
  104. >After 5 flaming Dr. Peppers and a shitload of beer you totally and irrevocably drunk
  105. >Dash and you are guffawing loudly at each other and have become instant bros
  106. >”Naw Dasshhh, you the besht.”
  107. >”No Anon yer da besht”
  108. >She tries to stand up, but misjudges the distance and falls flat on her face
  109. >dawhahahahaha
  110. >”Dash yer too drunk to shtand. I needsh to takesh you home.
  111. >Stand up, wobble, but manage to remain upright
  112. >Try three times to pick her up, nearly fall over every time
  113. >Finally manage to sling her over your shoulder and wobble towards the door
  114. >”Twilight hatesh it when I come around drunksh, Anon. Sheesh shuch a bitsh.”
  115. >You don’t hear her, you’re too busy trying to open the door
  116. >Fukkin’ doorknobs. How do they work?
  117. >You manage to get the door open and stumble into the street, only vaguely knowing where you’re going
  118. >Dash keeps mumbling about how Twilight hates it when she gets drunk
  119. >”You’re not drunksh Dashhh... Yer Shloshed, remember?”
  120. >You both laugh at this as you stumble towards the only house with lights still on at the top of the hill
  121. >You don’t know if it’s Twilight’s place, but hey, no fucks given
  122. >Try to open the door.
  123. >It’s locked
  124. >Your booze-addled mind concocts a brilliant plan
  125. >”Hey Dash watchsh dish!”
  126. >Not realizing she’s still slung over your shoulder, you give the door a well placed kick at the lock like you always were trained to do.
  127. >You slip in the dew-slicked grass, land flat on your back, and promptly pass out.
