It's Not My Fault I'm Creepy 1

Part 1: Because I'm Creepy, I'll Try to Change

 

>Celestia's sun rises high over the horizon, filling your room with its rays of gold.

>Your eyes open once the light hits them.

>Sit up and stretch your legs, all four of them.

>Take a trip to your bathroom to prepare for the days events.

>It seems that some creature arrived at Twilight's place yesterday, and she wants you to check it out.

>As you step out of your tub, a flock of birds fly around you squawking at one another.

>You're stuck in a colorful tornado.

>You don't know what caused this, but it is getting on your last nerve.

>A good stare forces their over-active frenzy to end.

>They land on the rafters with not much as a peep.

"Naughty birds. No fighting. Now sit there and think about what you did."

>Walk out and rub your forehead with your hoof.

>At least you are now dry.

>Turn your head and look at the messy bed.

>You contemplate about its unmade status.

"No need to fix it. It's not like anyp0ny will come here."

>Move towards the other side of your room.

>Look at yourself in the mirror.

>Your pink mane and tail are definitely in need of a good brushing.

>It's all frayed with various bird feathers adorning it.

>Your yellow coat is all fluffed out with even more vibrant feathers sticking out.

>You look like a fluffy pony piñata.

>And now that a few rescued owls are taking refuge in your home, your eyes now have dark circles around them.

>Not to mention they were blood shot.

>Probably due to the crying.

>You cry too much.

 

"What happened to you?"

>You sigh to yourself and reach for a brush.

>Can't go out looking like this.

>Have to try and look your best, but your best isn't what it used to be.

>Staring with your coat, you begin to even it out.

>You also manage to brush off the various feathers.

>A feeling of peace washes over you.

"I know I can get myself a good stallion."

>Brushing yourself makes you feel good.

>A feeling of peace washes over you.

>The soothing sounds from your coat makes your mind wander.

>However, you begin to reminisce back to various attempts at finding your special somepony.

----

"W-What do you mean? Why can't we have a second date?"

>"Well...you're nice, Ms. Fluttershy. But...you're just not my type. We could still be friends."

>You sighed, thinking you'd did well.

>Animal anatomy is something that you find interesting.

>But you resigned to his decision, not wanting to press the issue.

"O-Okay..."

>He walked away without even waving.

 ---

>Your hoof waivers for a moment, but you resume your grooming.

>They were not pleasant.

>He never talked to you after that day.

>Especially since your friends tried hooking you up with them.

 

----

>"I knew you were into animals, but not like this."

"I-Is...that a problem?" you questioned, crossing your hooves in front of yourself.

>As he was about to answer, a stampede of rabbits and mice stormed through your front door and knocked him onto his back.

"Oh my goodness. Are you alright?"

>He slowly got up"

>"Listen. It isn't you, it's me. Animals...aren't my thing."

>He walked away.

>You swore he muttered something under his breath.

 ---

>Your brush slips from your hoof.

>There's nothing wrong with caring for animals.

>It is your special talent.

>Why couldn't he accept that?

>Maybe he wasn't an animal person like you.

>Yeah, that has to be it.

>It was his fault he couldn't see the beauty in your furry woodland creatures.

>You pick up your brush and finish grooming your coat before starting on your mane and tail.

>You try to keep those bad thoughts out and stay positive.

"Keep it together, girl."

>You're almost done, but the sounds of your brush brings up even more rejections.

----

>"Sorry Fluttershy, but I have something important to do..."

>"My mother is sick. Maybe some other time?"

 ---

>You begins to lose your composure.

>Each memory chipping away at your self-esteem.

>But you have to try to look your best.

>You never know when you'll meet that stallion.

----

>"Sorry, but you're just creepy."

---

 

>Your body seizes up.

>Grooming at this point is impossible.

"N-No..."

>Your eyes begin to sting with tears.

>A single drop rolls down your cheek.

"No!"

>With all your might, you throw the brush off in some random direction in a fit of anger.

>It lands with a thud.

>You aren't sure how far it went since you aren't really a strong pony.

"I'm not creepy. I-I can't be creepy."

>You look at yourself in the mirror once more.

>Your appearance is worse than before you started brushing yourself.

>Your stress undoes your recent work on your coat.

>Looking into that reflection of yourself did something to you.

>That last bit of hope seemingly vanished along with the last bit of self-esteem.

>Realization sets in.

"That unruly coat, that mane with more split ends than tree bark, those red eyes..."

>Sit on your haunches and look away.

>But the damage has been done.

"And you smell like animals have been crawling all over you. Face it Fluttershy..."

>Look back at the mare in the mirror.

>As much as you want to change, you resign yourself to the truth.

"...you're cree- EEP!"

>You're thoughts were interrupted with something hitting your head.

>Look down to find it was the brush you threw moments ago.

"Magic brush?! No. Wait."

>Look back at where you suspected the object was thrown.

>You find an angered Angel staring daggers at you.

"O-Oh...sorry Angel."

 

>He points to his mouth, signalling that he's hungry.

>You almost forgot to feed your woodland creatures.

>Look back at yourself in the mirror at your unkempt appearance.

>No time to even try since you are running late as is.

>You decide to forgo any further grooming attempts.

"Come on Angel. I'll feed you right away."

>The morning ritual of feeding your animals goes without a hitch.

>As it should, since this is what your cutie mark is telling you.

>Angel didn't cause a ruckus today.

>Must have met his quota for mare abuse.

>Not like you can do anything, he's immune to your stare.

>You feel more like his unappreciated wife than a pet owner.

>Before you leave, you take one last look in the mirror.

>Maybe things will turn around and you'll find that special guy.

>And you'll live happily ever after.

>You put up a fake smile and hold your head high.

>Open your mouth to try to give yourself a pep-talk.

>But when you open your mouth, all that comes out is:

"Y-You..."

'Yes! You can do this!'

"Are creepy..."

>Today is starting off just peachy.

>Sighing once more, you head outside and drag your hooves towards Twilight's place of residence.

 

>Your walk towards Ponyville is pretty much like your love life: uneventful.

>However, you take time to enjoy the passing scenery.

>A slight breeze blows through your unkempt hair.

>Birds chirping as they glide through the air on the wind stream.

>You even spot Harry the Bear catching a few Z's under the shade of a nearby oak tree.

"Hey Mr. Bear."

>He opens one eye and sees you.

>You wave.

>He returns your friendly gesture with a wave of his paw.

>Your lips curl into a tiny smile.

>Even if you are creepy, at least you have your friends.

>But even friends have things to do, and friends can't do things a coltfriend would do.

>You continue onward and try to keep yourself smiling.

>Once out of sight, you let a frown take your smile's place.

>It didn't help your current disposition when you see a couple cuddling in a meadow.

>Their public display of affection makes your stomach churn.

'Please... just get a room,' you think.

>It is really a pain in the flank to be reminded of your alone status.

>That and the reason as to why you are alone.

>You quickly avert your gaze from the two love-birds and hurry towards your destination.

"Lets just get to Twilight's."

>Your gait is now at a brisk trot.

"The sooner I go see this creature, the quicker I can go home."

 

>Ignoring the stares from other ponies, you finally arrive at Twilight's place of residence.

"I wonder what Twilight wants to show me? Maybe it is some exotic creature from the far east."

>You prepare to knock on the wooden door.

>That is until you were interrupted by an over-dramatic gasp.

>You flinch and retract your hoof.

>"Fluttershy! Dear, you look positively dreadful."

>You turn your head to see your alabaster friend gawking over your haggard appearance.

>Her mouth agape in horror.

"O-Oh, hi Rarity. I was running late so...I..."

>She moves closer with a glint in her eye.

>Her determination makes you shiver to your very core.

>"Say no more, Darling. I'll have you fixed up in a jiffy."

>With a shimmer of her horn, you witness her pull out a brush, scissors, eye drops, and some make-up out of her saddle bag.

>"Good thing I'm always prepared for such an emergency.

>You hold up your hooves in protest.

"N-No. Um...there is no need. I'm fine."

>Rarity shakes her head.

>"Now now, Fluttershy. A mare must look her best. You never know when you will meet that pony of your dreams."

>You try to tell her that you are fine, but your timid nature could never compete with her confidence and class.

>So you resigned yourself to another session of grooming, courtesy of Rarity herself.

>"Now a brush here...and a snip there."

>You sigh, letting her do as she pleased.

>Not like it matters anyway.

>Even if your outside doesn't show it, you'll always be the stallion repellent.

 

>After only a minute of work (surprising that she works this fast) she puts away her tools.

>A mirror floats in front of you.

>"Ta-da! Now look at this pretty young mare ready to face the world!"

>You take a good look at yourself.

>The red eyes are no longer.

>The dreary eyes were touched up.

>And your coat and mane looks perfect.

>Not knowing what to say, you just smile.

>"No thanks are necessary. Just helping out a good friend. Now lets go see what Twilight is going on about."

>Your body tenses up.

'Wait, she's coming too? Twilight never said anything about her coming.'

>Rarity walks inside ahead with poise.

>"I'm here girls...Oh my stars."

'The others are here as well?'

>You sit on your rear and hold your hooves to the side of our head.

'Why are they here? Maybe it was their plan all along to hook me up with somep0ny, again.'

>You cringe at remembering the last time this happened.

>It didn't go so well.

>All the stress causes your mane to return to the state prior to Rarity's touch up.

>Lucky your coat held together.

>You snort out of annoyance.

"Just great..."

>You decide to just get this over with.

>Stand up with a heavy sigh.

"Maybe he'll be nice and understanding. Not likely."

>You resolve yourself and take in a deep breath.

>Take your first step of confidence, although that didn't last long.

>The rest of your steps were as meek as a mouse savaging for food.

 

>As you step inside, you see your friends (except Pinkie since she is busy at the bakery) standing in a semicircle around Twilight and...

'What is that thing?' you think to yourself.

>Sitting beside Twilight is some kind of ape-like creature.

>There is not much hair on his body, and he is wearing clothes.

>This is nothing like you have ever seen before.

>Twilight looks over the group and smiles at you.

>"Ah, Fluttershy, you are here at last. Come and have a seat."

>The rest of your friends look back at you.

>They smile at you, except Rarity.

>Her stare was blank, and she had a bit of a eye twitch going.

>You shrug and make your way towards the group, sitting behind Rainbow Dash.

>She looks back at you, giving a quizzical look.

>You just give her a shy smile.

>She shrugs and turns back towards Twilight and...whatever it is.

>"Okay, now that everyp0ny is here."

>She turns to the ape-like creature.

>"You can now introduce yourself."

>You peak over Rainbow's shoulder.

>He lifts his right paw and waves at all of you.

>"I'm Anon Y. Mous. You can call me Anon."

>Yeah, that's definitely a male.

>He does have a soothing voice for a "hew man", as he later calls himself.

>Everything is fine, until Rainbow Dash pipes up.

>"So...a Huu min is, what, some kind of hairless ape?"

>Applejack hoofpalms.

>"Ya need ta think 'bout wut ya say, Rainbow."

>Anon chuckles.

>"It's fine. Can't deny that, but humans and apes aren't really the same. For one, apes can't speak like you and I."

 

>You sit there, listening intently to his mini-speech while keeping a low profile.

>He goes on to say that he isn't from this world. Some some place called "Earth".

>And there are others like him.

>He's came to Equestria a few months ago, which explains why he isn't that spooked out.

>You are amazed that he can speak Equestrian in that short amount of time here.

>After he finished, you watch as all your friends flock around him.

>You on the other hand just look from where you stand.

>You sit there hiding behind your unruly mane.

>Maybe if you try to be inconspicuous, then he won't notice you.

>While your friends converse with Anon, you notice him casting a glance over towards you.

>You lower your head and try not to move much, thinking he sees by sensing movement.

>He eventually goes back to talking with Twilight and the others.

>You dodged one there.

>It doesn't matter though.

>He'll catch on to you being creepy.

>But you hold out that he won't see you.

>Pray that he didn't see you.

>But even though you could have left, you stayed.

>Something about him intrigues you.

>Even though he looks strange, he seems passive.

>Whenever he smiles or laugh, you can't help but smile behind your mane.

>However, you don't approach him.

>Best to just watch silently.

>After a while, you notice Anon casting his glance over towards you.

>Nothing hostile; just out of curiosity.

>That was when you see him stand up and walk towards you.

>His height rivals that of those Diamond Dogs.

>Despite him seeming innocent, you can't help but be afraid.

>He is right in front of you.

>Just his presence makes your legs turn into jelly.

>As a matter of fact, your legs do give out, and you fall down.

>You lie on your belly as he reaches out a hand.

>Pull out your active camouflage and cover your eyes.

>You peek out and see him flinch for a moment before covering them again.

 

>"Um...are you okay?"

>You look up and see his facial expression show concern.

>He kneels down before you and holds out his hand.

>You look between his face and his hand.

"O-Oh...um..."

>You just nod, not knowing what to say.

>Place your hoof in his hand.

>He wraps his fingers around your hoof and helps you up.

>You squirm from such a weird feeling.

>"You must be Fluttershy."

>Your chest thumps with each heartbeat.

>Feel your cheeks heat up from the sudden rush of blood.

>You aren't sure if that's nervousness or...

'No, you just met him. It can't be that.'

>Not wanting to be rude, you try your best to answer him.

"W-We...well, um...y-yes."

>You look towards the ground.

>He lets go of your hoof.

>Place it back on the ground.

>"I see that you live up to your name."

>He lets out a hearty chuckle.

"I guess."

>There was a mini-pause.

>You kick the ground and look around the library, trying to fill this awkward pause.

 

"Oh, um...I want to know something, if that's okay with you."

>"Okay, shoot."

"Why do you wear clothes?

>You touch his pantsleg at his upper thigh.

>It was close to his crotch, but you weren't really thinking about that.

"The texture feels weird."

>He moves back a little and you drop your hoof.

>Look up at him and he has a little uncomfortable look.

'Oh no, I did it again.'

"Sorry."

>You pout.

>"Don't worry about it. And to answer that, it's just a taboo to walk around naked where I'm from."

>You hear him, but you weren't really paying attention.

>That little contact of touching him fills you with dread.

>You think that first impression just added another person to their "creepy mare" list.

>Decide to avert your gaze and go silent.

'Maybe he'll get bored and leave me alone.'

>"I also heard you care for animals in your own home."

>Your ears perk up, then lie flat against your head.

>Your mind begins to fill with negative thoughts.

'Oh no, he knows that you live in a house full of animals. He surely thinks that you're strange now.'

>You prepare for the worst.

>Squeak before giving him a shy nod.

>He just smiles at you.

>"That's pretty interesting."

 

>Your whole world comes to a halt.

>You stare up in wonder at his words.

'He doesn't think I'm...creepy?'

>You try to think of why he said that.

'N-no, he said that to spare my feelings.'

>You were certain of it.

>Then he pets your head.

>You normally would be a bit miffed at the intrusion of your personal space.

>However, the possibility of him being truthful overshadows that.

'But what if he actually meant that?'

>Your demeanor and body language does a complete 180.

>Your posture becomes perfect, your ears perk up, and even a slight smile appears on your face.

>Wings shoot outwards and flap a bit.

>You even clop your front right hoof against the ground.

>That's something you have not done in forever.

>He runs his hand through your frayed mane.

>You sigh contently.

>"You have a nice smile. You should smile more."

>Your face is burning up.

>Yeah, you are blushing.

>Why would you blush? You don't have feelings for him...right?

>You just met him, and he isn't a pony.

>Yet, this feeling is...nice.

>It was as if that cold, lonely heart of yours caught fire from his cinder of kindness.

>You wouldn't mind if this lasted forever.

 

>As you begin to lean into his gentle caress, he quickly pulls his hand away.

>You faceplant into the ground.

"EHK!...ow..."

>You rub your muzzle to ease the pain.

>Look up to see the hew man panicking.

>"Oh crap! I almost forgot to meet with the Mayor to get a plot of land."

>He darts out of the library, leaving behind six confused ponies.

>A moment later, he returns by poking his head through the door.

>He lightly rubs the back of his neck.

>"Uh...do any of you know where Town Hall is?"

>You lie there, thoughts flying a mile a minute in your mind.

'This is my chance. Maybe if I speak up, then I can show him around town.'

>Stand up and give a confident nod.

'And I do know this town well. Well, here goes nothing...'

"W-Well, I...I kno-"

>Rainbow takes to the air and zooms past you before you could finish.

>She flaps her wings as she hovers in front of him.

>"Don't worry, Big Guy. I can show you where Town Hall is. And possibly a tour of Ponyville."

>Anon flashes his cheerful smile.

>"Sure, that would be nice."

>Rainbow chuckles as she wraps her left leg around his neck.

>They both walk out while having a light conversation.

 

>Looks like you blew it.

>Again...

>But for that one moment, you were touched by a guy.

>And you loved every second of it.

>You're brain has gone into overdrive at this point.

'Maybe if you get on his good side, then he'll do that again. But, would that be bestiality?'

>You shake your head.

'Well...not really. He is as smart as a pony, And...interspecies dating isn't really looked down up-.'

>A hoof drapes over your neck.

"EEE!"

>You turn to see a Rarity with her best Sugar Honey, Iced Tea-eating grin she could muster.

>"Somepony likes a certain human," she whispers in your ear.

>You manage to get out of her grasp and begin to back away from her.

"O-Oh No! I...um...it isn't like that at all!"

>Twilight and the others look at you tilt her head.

>Applejack speaks up.

>"It ain't like wut, Sugarcube?"

>Now you are sweating bullets.

"Oh! Look at the time! I have to go back and check up on my animals! Hehe! I-I guess I have to go now...home...to check on my animals."

>They all tilt their head at you, except Rarity.

>She takes a step closer.

>You take one back.

>"Fluttershy, dear..."

"Sorry! Gotta go! BYE!"

>You put your wings to good use and fly out of there.

>All the way back to your cottage.

>Your surroundings look like a huge blur of colors moving past you.

 

>Arrive back home.

>Say hello to your furry woodland creatures and walk up to your room.

>Lie on your soft bed and you let your mind wander.

>And it happens to fall on his words.

>Your heart skips a beat as you think back to his kind words.

>Place your hoof over your heart and feel it set a flutter.

"H-He thinks I'm interesting."

>You stare up at your ceiling and let it all sink in.

>Then a stray thought comes to your mind.

"What if he likes me?"

>You move your hoof from your chest up to your chin.

"Well, he didn't pet any of my friends. And he always glanced over towards me."

>You roll over to your side and look out the window.

"If I can talk to him more, then we can get close. Then he can be my colt...friend."

>Your body shivers in giddiness as you think about you and him doing couple things.

'We would snuggling, or share a daisy sandwich. Or...maybe even...'

>Your cheeks take on a red hue thinking of those perverted thoughts.

>No, you can't think that.

>You aren't that creepy mare.

"Not any more. Time for a change. And then, maybe, I'll get Anon's attention."
