>Day 3 in Equestria   >You wake up in the comfy as shit guest bed. >As you step out of bed, you feel a crinkle under your feet. >It's the pile of newspaper Twilight graciously left for you. >She said she wanted to give you a choice! >... >Anyways, you notice that purple psycho p0ne and also purple dragon slave are both fast asleep. >The sun's up, so you don't feel bad waking up yet. >A little time to yourself is always a good thing. >You walk downstairs and into the kitchen. >Let's get some grub! >You scour the cabinets for some delicious food. >Flowers, grain, oats... >Everything you could ever want...*sigh* >You then happen upon the stash of apples. >SCORE! >Looks like the stash is running out though. >You do eat quite a few apples... >You'll have to find out how to repay her for the food. >And lodgings. >Sans the fact it's her fault you're here in the first place. >Maybe she owes you... >Eh. You aren't sick of this place yet. >But an abundance of pastel magic horses would drive even the toughest of men crazy.   >Grabbing an apple, you sit down at the table in the main room. >You glance out the window at the sunrise. >Beautiful day outside! >Doubt Twi would let you go outside. >Who says you need her permission? >You're a grown man, you can go outside if you want to! >You finish your apple, tossing that core in the nearby trashcan. >2 points, bitch. >Get ready, outside, here I come! >You strut up to the door and swing it open. >The fresh air is wonderful, it's the perfect spring breeze. >The sun is shining gloriously in the sky. >Birds are chirping in the distance. >And a turquoise pony with a harp on it's butt looks at you in shock. >"WHAT THE HECK?!" >Oh right, you're an alien. >After staring at it awkwardly for about 3 seconds, you slam the door shut. >You've had enough outside for one day.   >Shortly after, Twilight wakes up, and walk downstairs. >"*yawn* Good morning, Anon." "Morning." >If she finds out you were outside, you're as good as a magical prisoner. >It was bad enough when she was just trying to learn things yesterday. >Imagine if she get's MAD? >Magic + Anger = You're fucked, kid. >She walks into the kitchen. >"Man, you sure do eat a lot of apples." "Is that a fat joke?" >"Are you fat for your species?" >A little. "Nah." >Lying bastard. >She walks out with a rosepetal sandwich. >You remember eating rosepetal candy once in your life. >Maybe it actually tastes good? >"So, I think we're gonna try some experiments today!" >Wat. "E-experiments?" >You see the most sinister glint in her eye. >Oh. Shit. >"Yeah, nothing major...a little shock therapy...maybe an incision or two..." >Oh HELL no. "I'm not a freakin' lab rat!" >"Of course not, you're a lab human!" >Dammit dammit dammit!   >Twi magi-grabs your shirt collar and starts dragging you away. >"I promise, it won't hurt a bit. Sedatives are quite powerful!" >You need a miracle to save you from the incoming torture! >There's a knock at the door. >Ho-ly shit, thank you whatever that is. >She drops you on the ground, your head slamming the wood. >Fucking ow. >While you cope with the sudden pain, she trots over to the door, swinging it open. >"Hello?" >"Hello Twilight..." >A very soft voice squeaks into the treehouse. >"I wanted to, uh, tell you about..." >You look up to see what made said squeak. >It's a yellow p0ny! >This one doesn't have a horn, however. >It has wings! >The wings are blaringly obvious the moment she sees you. >With a shrill gasp, she uses the aforementioned wings to fly at you at breakneck speeds, stomping on your chest. >Smashing your head into the floor. >Again.   >"Hello there, big guy! I've never met a creature like YOU before!" >That soft squeakiness is long gone. >For a p0ny that looks absolutely delicate, she feels like 3 damn tons on your sternum. "Uh...hello..." >"OH! You talk! That's amazing! I'm Fluttershy, what's your name?" "A...Anon...could you..." >"It's SO nice to meet you Anon, I never see any animals like you around here!" "..get...off..." >"Hm? What's that?" "..." >She then notices you can't breathe. >You're just about out of air. >She floats up like she's made of paper. >Sure didn't FEEL like paper. >You take some deep breaths to make up for the lost oxygen. >Does this air even CONTAIN oxygen? >Now's not the time to think about those things! >"OH MY, I'm so s-sorry, really, I, uh, didn't know I was hurting you, and I was j-just so interested, I've never seen any animals like you anywhere, a-and..." >She looks and sounds like she's going to erupt into spaghetti. "It's fine, really, I understand. It's nice to meet you." >You rub the multiple lumps now present on the back of your head.   >"So why are you here, Fluttershy?" >Twi's clearly had enough of p0ny after p0ny gawking at her giant scientific fuck-up. >A.K.A. You. >Think of yourself more highly! >"Oh, right... was gonna, um, warn you about..." >She points out the window. >"...that." >Twilight steps over to the window. >"WHAT?!?!" >She damn near faints! >You walk over to the window to catch a glimpse yourself. >What you see is an absolute ocean of technicolor p0nies. >And they are all yelling. >In the front, that turquoise one from before leads the pack. >YOU DUN GOOFED KID. "Wow, that's...uh...a lot of p0nies." >That's an understatement. >P0nies of all different colors. >Some have horns, some have wings, some have neither. >You're almost certain some of them may be... >*gasp* >Male!   >"I noticed Lyra screaming about something at your treehouse...she sounded a little, well, crazy...so I was worried..." >She looks to you. >"I sure hope what she was talking about isn't you!" >She flaps over to you, and flies eye level with you. >"You wouldn't harm a fly, would you Anon?" >She seems to be a good judge of character! "Yeah, try convincing Twilight of that." >Twilight just rolls her eyes. >Still paranoid. >"Well, we can tell those p0nies that there's nothing to worry about. Let's just-" >Suddenly, a crash is heard from upstairs. >A blue blur, streaked with rainbows, flies into the room, stopping in the center. >"Don't worry Twilight, I'll protect you from the monster!!!" >Another female. >Another crazy fucking female. >Bitches, amirite fellas? >She catches a glimpse of you. >"STOP RIGHT THERE, FREAK!" >Before you can get a word in edgewise, she flies at you and tackles you to the ground. >Slamming your head into the wood paneling. >You're starting to see a pattern here.   >"Listen you monster, you aren't gonna hurt my friends!" >You start getting pummeled with marshmellow hooves to the face. >You'd laugh at the concept at first. >Except they hit like a fucking brick. >She gets about three shots in before Twilight magically tears her from you. >"Let me at him, let me at him!" >The blue one is swinging at the air, ferociously trying to get at you. >Fucking. >Psycho. >Flying. >Magic. >P0NIES. >"Rainbow Dash, no! He's not a monster!" >Fluttershy tries desperately to calm her down. >"But everyone outside said there's a monster in here!" >"Well they're wrong!" >Twilight is clearly not happy with you being found out. >"But it's so WEIRD looking!" >You finally recover from your pummelling enough to sit up and respond. "I'M weird looking?!? You look like a crayon box threw up on a bird!" >"WHAT DID YOU SAY, PUNK?!" >She desperately tries to get at you, almost breaking free of the magic bonds Twilight is so used to putting on things recently. >Satisfied with rustling her jimmies, you set your head back down on the cold wood. >Those fucking punches hurt.   >"Look, Rainbow, he's not a monster. He's a weird looking thing from another dimension, he's not going to kill us, and right now, I REALLY could use your help, so I would APPRECIATE IT if   you calmed the buck down!" >Boy, Twilight's scary when mad. >And it's not aimed at you! >Awesome. >"...fine, but I don't trust him." "You don't have to, just don't PUNCH me." >You finally manage to stand up again. >"Alright. If Twilight says you're good, you're good." >This is p0ny number two to be persuaded by Twilight. >How much sway does this p0ny hold over the others? >"So, uh, sorry about all that." >The blue p0ny, apparently named Rainbow Dash, rubs the back of her head. >Shaking off the rest of the pain, you accept. "It's alright, I know you were just concerned for them." >"Yeah, I'd fight anything for my friends!" >Twilight sighs. >"Just because you CAN doesn't mean you should." >Rainbow blushes. >"Yeah, heh, I'll cool it down a bit..."   >"So aside from the utter fascination with this mistake of creation, and the wave of p0nies come to see/kill him..." >Twi rubs a hoof on her forehead. >She must be getting a headache from all this crap. >You would be too, if the headache wasn't already caused by getting beat up. >By a p0ny. >You'll never let yourself live it down. >"...is there anything we can do?" >The three p0nies start pondering. >"Well, we need to bring him somewhere safe." >"Somewhere where those crazy p0nies won't find him!" >Crazy p0nies have already found you. They're standing in front of you right now. >"Um...how about we take him to Sweet Apple Acres...I'm sure Applejack could hide him..." >"That's a great idea, Fluttershy!" >Twilight looks at you. >"Fluttershy is going to lead you there." >Sweet Apple Acres...Applejack... >This must be where she got all those delicious apples! >How could you deny this plan? "Got it." >Twi turns her attention to Rainbow. >"We need to hold off all these p0nies while they escape." >Rainbow salutes her clear superior. >"Yes boss!"   >Fluttershy guides you to the upstairs window. >"Go ahead Anon, I'll be right behind you." >You bid Twilight and Rainbow farewell. "Thanks you guys!" >"No problem, dude. Now get going!" >Rainbow looks raring and ready to hold off a crowd. >Must be all that pent up energy from not getting to beat you up. >With that, you step out of the window. >Wait, isn't the the upstairs window? >Your suspicions are confirmed as you're halfway done with falling to the ground from the second story. >... >You never though grass could hurt this much. >"Ohmygosh Anon, I'm so sorry, I just, maybe, thought you could fly, and I um, didn't think, um..." "WHAT WOULD GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION I COULD FLY?!?" >Boy that was loud. >Maybe a bit too loud. >Fluttershy retreats into her hair, and you can hear a faint scared sob. >Oh you fucking douchebag. "No wait, sorry! You had no way of knowing, I should have though about it before leaping from a window!" >She thinks you can fly, and sends you plummeting two stories, and you're apologizing to HER? >Such a pushover. >Shut up, you know I can't handle crying girls. >It's a p0ny. >A girl p0ny, now shut it. >Whatever, sap.   "C'mon, uh, Fluttershy! We need to get going before that mob eats me alive!" >She's far too distressed to move. >Oh come on man, this is you fault anyhow, fix this! >How do you console a crying girl on Earth? >HOW WOULD I KNOW, I BARELY TALK TO GIRLS! >No wonder you make them cry, douchebag. >You are NOT HELPING. >Fluttershy is still sitting there, about to burst into tears. >Think man, think! >You do the only thing you can think of. >You bend down and give her a hug. "I'm sorry, I really didn't try to be mean!" >The sobbing stops. Awesome! >You let go and look at her. >She still looks down, but the waterworks have ceased. "Fluttershy, apparently Sweet Apple Acres is the only safe place I can be right now, and I need your help to get there." >She looks up at you. >"...o-okay." >She gets up, flicks her hair out of her face, and starts trotting towards your destination. >"C'mon, it's this way!" >You jog after her.   >Once you two are a good distance away from the mob of p0nies, Fluttershy slows down to a walk. >As you both tread down a dirt path, you can't help but notice her waving at all the passing woodland creatures. >What's even more odd is that they seem to wave back. >She really does love animals. >Is that why she wasn't scared of you? >She thought you were just another animal. >Then again, wild animals don't yell at people for making mistakes. >Jerk. >You continue walking down the path with her. She hasn't spoken a word since you left the town. >She won't even look at you directly. >Did you really hurt her that bad? >She's a bit sensitive. >In the distance, you can see a red barn appear on a hill. >"T-that's it..." >She won't even look at you when talking to you. "Excellent! Glad you helped me get here." >Fishing for conversation much? >You're just trying to make sure she's not scared of you. >"N-no problem...we're almost there..." >She's still stammering. >It doesn't sounds like a scared stammer though. >Maybe...embarassed? >As you two walk to the barn, you can't help but wonder. >How many woodland creatures give hugs?
