- >You are Anon
- >And this is the the best.
- >Place.
- >EVER.
- >Everything in this town is so cuddly.
- >All the p0nies are so adorable.
- >At first, they were scared of you.
- >It was so cute, how they ran and frolicked about when you came from the woods.
- >Eventually they saw you just wanted a hug, and became everyone’s friend.
- >You have no clue how you got here.
- >You were enjoying a simple bandit raid, blasting away at a bunch of midgets, and then there was a big bang.
- >Now you’re here.
- >Oh well, you couldn’t be happier.
- >You live with a really smart purple unicorn.
- >In her basement.
- >Just like you always wanted!
- >She said there was no room for you anywhere else because you were so big.
- >You couldn’t contain your excitement when she showed you the basement.
- >THERE WAS EVEN A CHAIR!
- >She seemed confused by your joy, but put it away and was happy to have you around.
- >You could reach really, really high, so you helped Spike put books away.
- >He….scared you at first.
- >He played this trick on you where he took your nose.
- >You never felt so horrified in your life, not even when you forgot how to eat.
- >But he put it back, saying it was a trick.
- >That was a fun day.
- >Now you’re on your way to Sugarcube Corner for some cookies.
- >Twilight said if you did your reading, you could have some.
- >Trying to read her books was too hard.
- >Miss Cheerilee let her borrow some easier books.
- >It was hard, trying to read so much.
- >Five whole pages….
- >BUT
- >Three days later you finally found out what happened to the little filly that thought they could.
- >They couldn’t.
- >Spike, you and Twilight walk into the shop.
- >It was hard getting used to how low everything was.
- >But within a month, you only hit your head on the door frame half the time.
- >You adeptly walk under the frame.
- >VICTORY!
- >You turn and blow a raspberry at the mean door, then quickly tur-
- >BAMF
- “Oooww….”
- >TS:”Oh gosh Anon are you ok?”
- >Oh right, there’s that other beam…
- “I’m OK Twilight. Stupid beam, I’ll beat you one day!”
- >There’s giggling from behind you.
- >Pinkie Pie and the Cakes were laughing.
- >PP:”Aww poor Annie. If you were just a little smaller you wouldn’t have to worry about that. Maybe I should cut back on your sweets so you get smaller!”
- “Huh?…”
- >No…She wouldn’t.
- >Would she?
- >Why?
- >She was your friend!
- >You didn’t ask to be this big!
- >Stupid body…
- >She must’ve seen the sad look in your eyes.
- >PP:”Oh Annie I’m just kidding! I would never do that to a bestest friend!”
- “Yay bestest friend!”
- >She gives you a fresh baked cookie.
- “YAAAY!”
- >TS:”Now Anon try to enjoy-“
- >You eat the whole thing in one bite.
- >TS:”…it”
- >She sighs, then laughs with everyone else.
- “Thank you Peen Key!”
- >PP:”Of course Annie!”
- >Mr. C:”So what brings you all here today?”
- >TS:”Well Anon just finished his first book, so as a treat I said he could have some cookies.”
- >Twilight was so nice.
- >Mrs. C:”How wonderful! But I think something like that deserves something better than a cookie.”
- >Better than a cookie?
- >That unpossible!
- >Mrs. Cake must be a fibber.
- >Pinkie comes out with a box of muffins.
- >Wait.
- >Those aren’t ordinary muffins….
- “Are those chocolate chip?!”
- >PP:”Yuppers! I baked them just for you.”
- >These ponies…
- >They’re too good for you.
- >You look to Twilight with a pleading look.
- >TS:”Oh alright, but only eat one for now.”
- >BEST.
- >DAY.
- >EVER!
- >You eat the whole thing in one bite.
- >TS:”Actually, you can have one more-“
- *Squee*
- >TS:”IF you can tell me how many are left.”
- >Always a catch….
- >Hmmm.
- >You ate one.
- >Carry the 3.
- >Remainder 1….
- >Take the hippopotamus of the letter A…..
- “…f-five?”
- >TS:”Very good!”
- “Hoooray!”
- >You devour another in one bite.
- >TS:”Ok well I think that’s enough sweets for now, we have to do some shopping. Thanks Pinkie, Mr. and Mrs. Cake.”
- >You walk out of the shop, smacking you’re head off the frame again.
- >Someday….
- >As you walk, you hold the box of muffins close to your chest, humming along.
- >Spike: ”Wow Anon, you really like those muffins don’t you?”
- “Uh huh!”
- >You keep humming with your eyes closed until you bump into something.
- >”Oof! Woops, my bad.”
- >That voice…
- >Oh no.
- >Oh geeze.
- >You look down to see….
- >TS:”Oh hello Derpy!”
- >Derpy….
- >Your heart starts to race.
- >Your brain is full of stuff right now.
- >How does your hair look?
- >Is your shirt tucked in?
- >Are you wearing pants this time?
- >It’s too late to consider these things now!
- >Be smooth Anon, be smooth…
- ”H-hi….D-D-Derpy…”
- >Nailed it.
- >DH:”Hi Anon! Ooooooo whatcha got there?”
- >She points to the box.
- >Sort of.
- “These? Oh nothing, just some chocolate chip muffins.”
- >DH:”Ch-chocolate chip….muffins?”
- “Uh huh! Look!”
- >You open the box to show her.
- >She stares at them, or you think she is.
- >Her jaw is slacked and she’s drooling.
- >IDEA
- >Oowww…
- >Thought too fast again…
- “Would you like one?”
- >DH:”Really?! But, they’re yours.”
- “It’s ok. I learned that sharing is…..caring?”
- >You look to Twilight, who simply smiles and nods.
- >DH:”Thanks!”
- >You grab one for her.
- >Then you get another idea!
- >OUCH
- >Being a genius hurts…
- >Instead of giving her the muffin, you give her the remaining box.
- >DH:”Wha? All of them?”
- “Yup! I need to eat fewer sweets anyway.”
- >You say this as you eat the last muffin.
- >She looks at the box, and also at you.
- >Oh no, is he crying?
- >You big dummy!
- >Out of nowhere she wraps your neck in a super tight hug.
- >DH:”OH THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON! YOU’RE THE BEST!”
- >JJHNNFOLIWEMNAGA
- >So soft…
- >Your eyes almost go back into your head.
- >As your arms go limp, she eventually lets go.
- >DH:”Oh, sorry…too hard?”
- >You shake your head slowly.
- >She giggles, then gasps as she looks at the clock tower.
- >DH:”Uh oh! I gotta get to work. Thanks again Anon! Bye guys!”
- >With that she’s off, and you sigh deeply.
- >SB: ”Looks like Anon got himself a special somep0ny!”
- “DO NOT!!”
- >You yell in no particular direction
- >Looking down you see the three young fillies grinning at you.
- >TS:”Now Sweetie Belle, don’t embarrass Anon like that. I’m sure it was just a really nice gesture of kindness, right Anon?”
- “That’s right!”
- >AB:”Awww, so ya don’t like Derpy?”
- “Not true!”
- >You blurt out too fast.
- >The heat in your face must be visible.
- >Twilight and Spike are starting to laugh now.
- >CMC:”Ooooooooooo.”
- >Now the girls are getting into it…
- >They start to hop around you in a circle.
- >CMC:”Anon likes Derpy! Anon likes Derpy!”
- >Damage control!
- >You flail your arms around.
- ”I mean…. NO! I do…..b-but not……GAAAHHH!”
- >AB:”Oh calm down ya big filly, we’re only teasin’!”
- “Hmph.”
- >SL:”Ya Anon, actually we were looking for you.”
- “You were?”
- >SL:”Yep, we wanted to get our cutie marks as safari guides and wanted you to come along.”
- “Ooo that sounds fun! Can I Twilight? Can I Can I Can I?!
- >TS:”Ok, ok! Just settle down, you can go ahead. Just be careful and make sure you’re back for dinner.”
- “HOORAY!”
- >SL:”Alright! Let’s go guys!”
- >AB:”Wait Scoots, Anon needs a safari hat like ours!”
- >SL:”But we don’t have anything that big…”
- >You grab a nearby bucket and put it on.
- >…
- >IT’S TOO DARK YOU CAN’T HEAR.
- >Suddenly two little holes where your eyes are appear, and you can see.
- >SB:”Thanks Twilight!”
- >TS:”No problem girls, just be careful.”
- >SL:”We will!”
- >You start to follow the girls.
- >Eventually you get to the edge of the Everfree forest.
- “Uh….are we going in there?”
- >AB:”Sure are! Where else are we going to find exotic animals?”
- “But we aren’t allowed!”
- >SL:”Oh don’t be such a little filly. We just need to explore until we get our cutie marks.”
- >AB:”Ya an’ besides, Anon, yer so big no monsters will want ta mess with us!”
- >You blush, but you have a bad feeling about this…
- >As you walk into the forest, you hear more and more animals, but you never see any.
- >It’s starting to scare you.
- “Uh…g-girls? Can we go home now?”
- >SB:”Not yet Anon, none of us have our marks yet.”
- >This place is so scary, even during the day.
- >AB:”Cmon Anon, ya’ll just gotta put one hoof in front of the other, like this! Left hoof, right hoof, left hoof, right hoof.”
- >The other girls start singing along too, and you start to join in.
- “Left hoof, right hoof, left hoof, right hoof, left hoof……uh……”
- >SL:”Right.”
- “That’s right? OK! Left hoof, left hoof, left hoof, left hoof.”
- >She smacks her face with her hoof, but you all keep marching along.
- >Suddenly there’s a loud yell in the distance.
- >You all freeze.
- >SB:”What was that?”
- >AB:”Sounded like a lion!”
- >SL:”But there aren’t any lions here!”
- >You’re shaking now, but you all decide to go look.
- >In the clearing, you see two giant….what were they again?
- >CMC:”Manticores!”
- >Oh right.
- >SL:”Look at that! It looks like they’re fighting!”
- >SB:”This is great! If we watch and observe them, we’ll get our marks for sure!”
- “KIIIITTTTYYYY!”
- >AB:”No Anon don’t!”
- >You make a mad dash for the big kitties, who stop and stare at you.
- >You grab the nearest one in a giant hug.
- >It’s soft too, but so big it’s like a giant doll.
- >That roars a lot.
- >The girls step out of the bush.
- >SB:”ANON ARE YOU CRAZY! They’re going to attack you!”
- “Big kitty!”
- >The other one looks over to the girls and starts after them.
- >Awww, it wants to hug them too!
- >The one in your grasp pushes off and claws your hand.
- “Oooww, that hurt!”
- >It takes off after the girls too.
- >You chase it.
- >You’re going to have to hug it harder!
- >One of them chases after Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, while the other chases Applebloom.
- >Sweetie and Scoots make it into a hollow log, screaming for Applebloom, but she’s too far away.
- >You grab the tail of the one after Applebloom.
- >Just as you do this, it paws her hard, and she goes limp.
- >SB:”Applebloom!”
- “Applebloom?...”
- >The manticore turns and swipes at your head, knocking your bucket off.
- >You stare at Applebloom.
- >She….got hurt?
- >No….
- >You look at the manticore, who’s snarling at you.
- >And turn to look at the other one that’s digging at the log, the girls crying now.
- >You feel a tingling in your body that turns to trembling.
- “Should not…YOU REALLY SHOULDN’T HAVE DONE THAT!!!!”
- >You muscles practically explode in fury, and you slug the manticore in front of you into a tree.
- “YOU’RE GONNA GOD DAMN SCREAM FOR ME”
- >You dash at it and swing, but it moves and you splinter the tree.
- >As it tries to run, you grab the tail again, but this time you swing it around.
- >And slam it into the other manticore.
- >You look to the girls in the log
- “RUN. GET APPLEBLOOM AND GO.”
- >They look petrified for a moment, but then scamper to Applebloom and carry her away.
- >As the manticores get up, you run full speed into one with your shoulder and tackle it.
- >You climb over it, and begin slamming your fists into its chest.
- “TRY BREATHING THROUGH CRUSHED LUNGS.”
- >It starts to cough up blood, obviously it’s not able to do so.
- >One final slam renders it limp.
- >The other one charges at you.
- “COME AND PLAY. COME ON.”
- >You tackle it to the ground and bring your fists up.
- >But it scrambles up and claws at you.
- >It doesn’t even register as a cut.
- “I’LL KILL YOU SLOWER FOR THAT, BITCH.”
- >With a punch to the maw, it tumbles end over end, and you leap over to it.
- >You’re going to make this one suffer, so you grab it’s upper and lower jaw.
- “OPEN WIIIDDDE.”
- >There’s a crack that echoes throughout the forest, then silence.
- >You end up finding the girls huddled behind a tree, whimpering and crying.
- “Girls….you ok?”
- >They look up at you with fear in their eyes.
- >SB:”Anon! Where are the manticores???”
- “I send them bye-bye.”
- >Applebloom coughs a bit and you start to feel tears in your eyes.
- >She got hurt because…
- >SL:”What were you thinking?! You almost got all of us eaten!”
- “I….I sorry...”
- >SL:”Sorry?! Applebloom got hurt because of you!”
- >AB:”Scoots ah’m fine, it’s ok.”
- >SL:”No it’s not fine ‘bloom! I thought we were gonna lose you back there!”
- >AB:”But ah’m ok now! Really, ah’m fine!”
- >She winces as she tries to raise her voice.
- >This was all your fault.
- >You fall to your butt and bring your hands to your eyes, starting to cry.
- “I’m…s-ssooo sorry….girls….It’s all….my fault!”
- >SB:”Good going Scoots, now you made him cry.”
- >SL:”But he put us in danger!”
- >SB:”And then he saved us! Maybe he messed up, but he said he was sorry! He’s our friend!”
- >Scootaloo looks down and sighs.
- >She looks to you, but you’re still sobbing into your hands.
- >SL:”Anon?”
- >You look at her, sniffling.
- >SL:”I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to yell at you, but I was just so scared.”
- “No…it ok. It my fault. I didn’t mean to make kitties mad and chase you. I’m sorry girls…”
- >They walk over and hug you.
- >AB:”S’all right Anon. We know you’d never let anything happen to us. That’s why we like ya so much.”
- >SL:”That and you’re funny.”
- >SB:”Ya!”
- >They laugh.
- >There’s still tears in your eyes, but they’re happy tears now
- >You scoop the girls up into a big hug.
- “You girls are the best!”
- >You stand up with them and begin to walk back to town.
- >You’re not letting them go until you get there.
- >It’s the least you can do to make sure they stay safe.
- >SL:”We probably shouldn’t tell anyp0ny about this.”
- >All of you nod in agreement.
- >Secrets between friends are fun.
