>You are anon >You have been living in Equestria for one year now. >Life has been hell. >The ponies think you are an abomination. >Almost noone has even tried to talk to you. >They see you as an freak of nature. >A Beast. >Except for one. >You sit on a stool,Thinking of your past life. >Your family, your friends. >Everything back home,And how your missing all of it. >You want it to end. >You want all the torment to go away. >The lonelyness, the rejection. >You let out a sigh, knowing its all coming to a conclusion. >You stand up to get ready to do the deed. >You take out your personal belonging from your pocket. >A wallet containing 3 bits, a picture and your driver`s license. >Well, now they could identify your corpse. >Not that you`d care what happened to you after this. >The rest was a discharged phone, and a necklace you got from your dad when you were young. >You threw the items next to the tree. >You let out a sigh as you get ready to stand on the stool. >You stand on it and grab the rope. >As you stare through the knot, you cant help and get sentimental. >A tear makes its way down your cheek as you wonder why it went so wrong. ''There is no going back now.'' >You put your head through the knot and kick the stool down. >But someone was watching you this whole time. '>You feel the rope around your neck. >Yet. >Instead of choking, you feel yourself floating in the air. >Held in the air by a yellow aura. ''Why?'' >You say with a hint of anger in your voice. >''I have been watching you,Even since you came here.'' >You gasped as you saw you were being carried by the matriarch herself. >''You came here by a force unknown to me, i have been following you since than.'' >She puts you down on the stool and hands you your stuff. >''I looked at your uh... driver`s license as you call it, your name is anon ins`t it?'' >You nod. >''I did not know what kind of being you were at first, but i learned you were not hostile.'' ''If only the pony`s at ponyville knew that.''. >Celestia sighed. >''I can understand them though, They do not know who and want you are, They are afraid you might hurt them.'' >You feel your stomach burning with anger. ''That does not give them the right to ridicule me, and refuse to give food, even though i was going to pay for it!'' >You stand up and turn around,Leaning with one arm against the tree. ''How can i live, if i can`t get a job to buy food or shelter.'' ''How can i live, without proper water.'' >Celestia stood up. >''Maybe i can help?'' >You turn around. ''Help?....How can you help?!'' >You feel like punching a hole in the tree. ''Where were you when i got thrown out of the cupcake corner when i tried to befriend the locals?, Where were you when i had to defend myself from the wild when i tried foraging for something to eat?!'' >Celestia sighed, ''I`m here now.''. ''Oh just great, The princes tries to save me from a life filled with hunger and ridicule...'' >You take a swing at the tree. >It doesn`t move but now your knuckles are bleeding. >''Anon...'' ''No, don`t anon me!, Noone was here for me when i needed it, and i don`t need anyone now.'' >You look at the ground, ''I just want it to end.'' >''Death`s embrace will not solve your problems, You will just pass them down.'' >''Why is she trying to help me?'', You wonder. >A goddess trying to save a lowlife outcast like you. >You walk away, past celestia. ''Dont try to stop me.'' >''Anon, I will not let a citizen kill themselves, even if it takes force.'' >Citizen. >She calls you citizen, even noone else sees you as one. >Why is she trying to help you? ''Why are you so interested in me, I`m just a human without any special talents.''. >''Everyone has a talent, you simply do not know yours yet.'' ''You are supposed to be all knowing right, tell me what my talent is then.''  >Celestia shakes her head.  >''That is for you to find out yourself, I am sure you had an education of some sort back at your place?''  >You think back, reminding yourself you used to study to be a chef at a luxurious restaurant.  ''Well i used to be a chef...''  >''Maybe that is your talent?''.  >You take her words in for consideration. ''Well, maybe you`re right.'' >You still had no place to stay though,And no sanitation. >Noone is going to hire a chef that smell like wildlife and sewage. ''It`s no use, who would hire me in the state i am now?''. >''Maybe i can help with that, i am sure somewhere we can use a chef.'' ''Don`t you have somepony with a matching cutiemark for that?''. >''We do but i think you would work faster and have more control over the equipment than the avarage unicorn.' >You sit down again. >You knew this could be your chance to turn all your back luck around. ''What`s in it for me if i do it?'' >''I am pretty sure we could arrange something benificial for you''. >You think for a while, Wondering if you should trust her. >She was a goddess after all. ''All right, count me in.'' >Celestia smiles and nods approvingly. >''Make sure to gather all your belongings, meet me here in a few minutes and i will guide you to the nearest means of transportation. ''Will the ponies let me use it.''. >''They will not deny a request from their princess will they?'' ''I guess you`re right.''. >''Now off you go, get your stuff and be here in five minutes'' ''Sure, be right back'' >And so it was decided, you were going to Canterlot to work for Princess Celestia. >You and Celestia walk through ponyville, headed towards the train station. >You notice the ponies staring you down. >You hear them whisper. >''Did Celestia catch that monster.'' >''Thank god the abomination is gone.'' >A purple pony runs towards the both of you. >''Princess, what are you doing with this dangerous being?!''. >''You should keep it locked away!'' >Celestia looks at her student. >''Do you know what he is?, Have you ever observed him?'' >The purple pony shakes her head. >''No...I-i just heard it-'' >Celestia lets out a faint sigh. >''I thought you learned to be less judgemental?, This human as he calls himself, is not dangerous being.'' >You interrupt the two as you introduce yourself. ''My name is anonymous, but just call me anon'' >The purple pony looks at the ground, being a bit embarrased. >''My name is Twilight Sparkle, I`m sorry for treating you like an animal.'' ''It`s allright, You din`t know any better''. >Twilight Sparkle turns to Celestia. >''Where are you headed towards?'' >Celestia points at Anon. >''I am bringing him towards the train station, I want him to work as a chef in Canterlot.'' >Celestia smiles. >''I am sure he can be of use to me, And i would love to try his food.'' >Celestia was trying to cheer you up, and it was working. ''I`m not that good, Thanks for the compliment though.'' >Celestia nodded. >''Lets continue shall we, I will be hearing from you Twilight Sparkle''. >The purple alicorn nodded. >''Anon, if you ever decide to return to Ponyville, make sure to visit me, I want to make up for treating you badly''. >You nod and walk further with Princess Celestia. ''She said her name was Twilight Sparkle?'' >Celestia nods >''She is a student of mine, she`s a quick learner.'' ''She seemed pretty kind after you talked with her.'' >''I am her teacher, she knows i never lie.'' ''So...About the work thing'' >''Yes?'' >You hesitate to ask. ''What does it pay.'' >You pray that she doesn`t find you greedy. ''Very good question,how about a place to stay inside Canterlot and 35 bits a week.'' >You can`t refuse that offer. ''Done.'' >The two of you arrive at the train station. >''The next train will take you to Canterlot''. ''Aren`t you coming with me?'' >''Why would i do that?, There is no need for me to use the train.'' >She is right about that. ''Okay,Where do i go after i arrive?'' >''I will pick you up and guide you towards the castle.'' >You nod and notice Celestia teleporting away. ''Oh yeah they can do that.'' >You sit down on a bench, waiting for the train to arrive. >You play around with an old coin, flipping it continuously. >You become bored rather quickly. >You get up and started walking in small circles, waiting for the train to arrive. >The train arrives. >You hear a loud whistle, followed by a shout. >''All aboard!'' >You get on the train and sit down on one of the benches. >They were way to small for someone of your posture. >You struggle to sit comfortably. >You try watching through the windows, though they were to low to the ground. >The bench started to hurt your back. ''Hope this isn`t going to last long'' >An hour passed by, Your back is feeling like it`s being stung with 100 needles at a time. >You sigh and search your pockets for something to eat. >You find a peppermint, You forgot you had a pack on you when you came here. ''Better than nothing...'' >You throw it in your mouth and spit it out in a swift motion. ''That was way to old...'' >You are feeling hungry. >Your stare down the train, wondering if they sold food on the train. >You see no pony. >Fuck. ''This is going to be a long ride'' >You tried to lie down on the small bench. >This way you should be able to get a little bit of sleep. >You wake up after 3 hours, you wanted to ask how long it was going to take to get to Canterlot so you got up and walked to the front of the train.   >You walk up to whoever is driving the train. >You notice a stallion just looking straight ahead. ''Hello, can i ask you a question?'' >''You just did'' >Smartass. ''Really funny, How long untill we arrive at Canterlot?'' >''About 3 hours'' >This guy doesn`t like conversing. ''Yeah, thanks'' >He nods. >You walk back to where you were seated. ''This is taking way to long...'' You look for way to kill some time, yet there is nothing to do.   >After a long while you arrive at Canterlot train station >You walk outside and take in how large everything is. ''Now this is something else'' >You eagerly wait for Princess Celestia.   >You walk a bit further. >Exploring the city a bit coulnd`t hurt right? >What could possibly happen when a strange being would walk around a major city. ''Everything is so big and fancy here''. >You looked at some shops, you wanted to buy something to eat but you don`t have any leftover bits. >As you walk through the city you can`t help but notice the ponies talking about you. >But you din`t care, at least not anymore. >''Oh here you are Anonymous.'' >Celestia appeared behind you, causing you to startle. ''You have to stop doing that or i`ll die from a heart attack''. >''I am sorry, but please follow me to your new home.'' >You nod and walk beside her. ''This place is pretty big, how do you manage to find your way around here?'' >''I usually do not leave the castle, But living here makes navigating easy around here.'' >Your stomach growles a little to loud. >''That is an universal langauge, Lets get something to eat.'' >You nod eagerly. >Celestia and you walk into a small fruit store. >The ponies there notice you and celestia. >''Its the Princess!, But what is that next to her?'' >The two of you walk to the counter and Celestia starts to order. >''W-what can i-i get you P-princess Celestia?'' >The pony behind the counter was clearly nervous. >Celestia look your way. >''What do you want Anonymous?''. ''Just an apple.''. >You did not want to sound needy. >At least you could make plenty of stuff to eat when you began you work. >Celestia looks back at the pony behind the desk. >''I would like to have two apples please.'' >The pony behind the desk nodded. >''W-would you like a bag with that P-princess C-celestia?''. >Celestia nodded aprovingly. >The pony hestitated to hand Celestia the bag. >''T-this is from the house'' >Celestia smiled and turned around. ''I`ll carry tha bag for you.'' >''Anonymous, you seem to be a real gentlecolt'' >Yeah right, you were just hungry. >You walk out with Celestia while you were holding the bag. ''Okay, now where do we go to?'' >''We will be making our way towards the castle now'' ''Alright.'' >You started to make your way towards your new home. >You and Celestia arrive at the gate. >Two guards stand infront of it, staring blankly ahead. >You always wondered how`d they pass the time. ''So this is your place huh?'' >Celestia nods and uses her magic to open the gate. >The guards step aside. >''Your highness.''. >Celestia continues forwards and you`re quickly to follow her. >The two of you walk up to a door. >''This is where you`ll be working, you are to prepare food for me, Princess Luna and our staff.'' >You open the door and walked into what seemed to be the royal kitchen. >You looked around at the equipment. >State of the art ovens,knifes and large machinery. >Yet there was one problem. >The tables and workbenches were scaled to pony height. ''Not this again.''. >''Is there a problem Anonymous?'' ''Everything is at pony height.'' >''I don`t see how that can be a problem. ''The low height of the table`s would cause major strain to my back and neck.''. >You walk over to one of the low benches and grab a knife. ''It would cause me to lose to ability to work in 2 years'' >''How does that happen?'' ''My back would have to arch in an awkward position.'' >''That seems to be a problem yes.''. >Celestia thinks for a while. >''I will show your quarters, i will make arrangements to get the royal kitchen more work friendly for you.''. >You nod and follow Celestia to your room. >Celestia walks you over to your room. >She opens the door for you. >''This is where you will be staying, This room has a bathroom, closet, and a kingsize bed''. ''Sure kingsize here means barely big enough for children like everything else?''. >You walk into your room and observe it a little. >The bed was big enough for you, But the couch infront of it wasn`t. ''Can i give you a list of items that need to be replaced for my size?''. >''Sure, it`s an unusual request but it may be better if you choose all the items.''. ''I`ll include the kitchen items, that will include sizes that will not make my back feel like iron.'' >Celestia nods. >''I have some royal business to attend to, make yourself at home and i`ll see you tomorrow.'' >Celestia turns around and walks away. >You close the door and take a look around the room. >First stop,The bathroom. >It was very luxurious. >Big sink with golden trim, some shelves above it, containing several soaps and shampoo`s. >Kingsize bathtub. >You could get used to this. >Even better back home. >You walk to your bedroom, and lay ontop of your bed. >Before you know it you accidently fall asleep. >You wake up in the middle of the night. >A bit of moonlight scattered on a mirror, Dimly lighting the whole room. >You sit up, your head hurted a little. >''So thou are awake, human.'' >It was Princess luna. >''It seems Celestia has taken a liking to thine personality.''. >She frowns. >You feel your heartbeat fasten. >''Listen to me human, She may like you, but i do not.'' >Is this princess for real? ''How can i convince you.''. >''You cannot, i will make sure she will see that thou are dangerous for us.'' >You feel yourself getting angry. ''What the hell is the matter with you ponies?'' >You change your hand into a fist. ''Why can`t you accept someone like me?, do i need to show i mean only good.''. >''Human, i`ll see to that you will be exiled''. ''Do it,I dare you, I`m sick off all this racism, I will end you.'' >''Hah, a mere human could not best me.''. >She turns around. >''I will be watching you.....Closely.'' >You lie back down, unable to sleep for the rest of the night because raging anger.   >The next day.   >A slight breeze flew through an open window. >You don`t remember opening that window. >A yawn escapes your mouth, maybe more sleep had been better. >But with luna the psycho alertness was better.   >You walk over to the kitchen, which was still too small. >But that did not stop you from going through the supplies. >A lot of lettuce, apples, pears, a few wine bottles both red and white, a bottle of hard liquor used for deserts. >A huge bag of flour. >And many kinds of fruit juices. ''Maybe i should do some restocking.''. >You walk over to one of workbenches. >You put down a crop of lettuce,Strawberry juice, an apple, half an cup of flour and a bit of salt. ''This should be enough for a simple salad.''.   >You start with cutting the lettuce in small squares. >After that you get a small pan and put it on the cooker. >Strawberry juice and flour go in there. >And a bit of red wine. >While its on the cooker,You make small balls of the apple with a small knife. ''Honey would be usefull, oh well''.   >You add the small apple balls to the lettuce and remove the strawberry/wine sauce from the cooker and let it cool. >After it`s cooled down you drip it gently over the salad and put it down on a bench behind you.   >''That looks delicious Anonymous'' >It was Celestia, Smiling brightly ''Go ahead and try.'' >You wanted Celestia`s opinion before actually starting. >''Anonymous!, this is delicious!'' >Celestia takes small bites while smiling happily. ''Really?, i was unsure about what a princess would consider tasty. >You walk to a workbench to clean the mess you`ve made. ''I`m happy you like it, and there`s more where that came from.''.   >After you`re done cleaning you walk outside to get some fresh air. >You notice two guards uphead. >Probably patrolling. ''Hey, does anyone of you two know where i can get some good scotch?''. >The guards turn around. >They wait a second while they look at each other. >''Back in town there`s a good liquor store.''. ''Thanks.''. >They nod and walk further. ''Kinda anti-social are we?''. >You turn around and look for some herbs in the royal garden. >Nothing.   >You head back inside and take a quick tour of the castle. >The throne room, the royal bedroom, the study and so on. >Eventually you get lost. ''Well, shit.''
