>It’s Thanksgiving!
>Well at least it would be…..
>You’re in Equestria
>There is no Thanksgiving
>And you are too lazy to cook
>Not that you could cook a turkey here
>Meat cost a bunch to import from foreign butchers
>You sigh
>It’s your first year here and already you’re feeling lonely
>You wonder what your family is doing right now
>Hear a knocking on your door
>Let’s see
>It’s morning and you just got up
>On a Thursday
>Smells like Fluttershy
>Open the door
>Deep Sigh
Hello Fluttershy…
>Ever since coming here she’s been in your life
>Whether you wanted her to be or not
>The first months it was stalking
>She was terrible at it
>Then it was forcefully creepy sexual advances
>Then it was fetish guessing
>She claims to be in love with you, but you’d rather she stay in her cottage
>Maybe find another cutesy pony to fall in love with
>Not you
>While you were busy giving exposition to yourself, Fluttershy took the opportunity to nuzzle your crotch
>Move away
Stop that!
>She squeaks and moves away
Stop acting all innocent
>”I’m just giving you some love…”
>”D-does it feel bad?”
>You have a boner
It feels good ….ugh, but it’s not right. It’s also creepy and you should respect my space
>How else can you put it to someone as clueless as her?
Imagine if I randomly came to your cottage
>She smiles
Walked up behind you
>Her wings shoot up
And poked your …um marehood
>Fluttershy beams at you, but hides behind her mane
>”A-are you going to do that today? I would love it if you did.”
>You frown
>God damn it
>”I mean! If you wanted to of course….”
Well seeing as I had my daily dose of you today I’ll just close the door now
>Begin to close the door
>”W-wait…”
>You know you’re going to regret this
>Stop closing it
What
>”Well Anon, today is Family Feast Day”
>She smiles
>”Um, you don’t have a family and that’s so sad….”
>She gives you a sad puppy dog look
>”Would you like to eat with us-“
Nope
>Begin to close the door again
>”Please Anon! I love you, and I want you to be happy!”
>”Sweetie,I don’t want to see you all alone on today!”
>Fluttershy’s sad look intensifies
>”D-do this for yourself, if not you don’t want to do it for me…”
>Silence for a moment
No funny business?
>Fluttershy gets a nervous look and you glare
>She whimpers and her big sad eyes bore into you
Fine!
>She squees
>”Oh perfect!”
>She flutters around happily and mumbles to herself
>”Um if you wouldn’t mind….meet me at the library. Twilight will make our trip to Cloudsdale as quick and as safe as possible.”
>She flutters up to you and pecks your cheek
>You’re still stunned
>You just realized
>Dinner …..
>With the Fluttershy family….
>Oh shit
>It’s probably a good idea to bring your own dish before you go
>Go to your kitchen
>Check the pantry
>Nothing but cereal,
>Brand-less cereal
>…
>Pour the cereal into a large bowl
>Put plastic cover on top
>Okay your contribution to this dinner is complete
>This is a terrible idea
>You’re going to be shooting spaghetti from every orifice at this point
>But it is Fluttershy’s family after all
>They probably speak in squeaks and unnecessarily polite expressions
>You shit, shower, and shave
>Put on your best clothes
>Well, your only pair of nice clothes
>You carry the bowl with you and walk to the library
>Many ponies are staring at you
>You do have to admit you look rather good
>But these are ponies…what about a human is attractive?
>A few of them are staring at your bowl with confused expressions
>Ah that would sort of explain it
>You hear the flapping of wings above your head
>Rainbow Dash is above you
What do you want?
>”Is THAT what you’re bringing to Family Feast Day?”
Um yes
>She frowns and flies off
>Okay…
>After another minute of walking she’s above you again
>She lands next to you and before you know it she’s taken off the plastic of the bowl
>Raibow Dash pours in chocolate sauce
Dash, you’re not helping!
>You move the bowl away
>Now you hear other things pouring into the bowl
>Pinkie Pie is beside you pouring in cut up donuts
>Not going to bother to figure out how she got here
>Run off
>Don’t stop for few minutes
>Suddenly your bowl is out of your hands
>Applejack lasso’d it
>Yeah, of course that would happen
Lemme guess you’re gonna put apples in it
>She puts Apples in it
What’s next Rarity’s gonna critique my dish now?
>You see Rarity approach
>Nope! Nope! Nope!
>You snatch the bowl back and run
>Twilight and Fluttershy are waiting outside the library
>They seem confused why you’re running
>You stop in front of them
*pant* I’m here….
>Fluttershy walks up to you and nuzzles your leg
>Your bowl is magic’d out of your hands
Oh boy…
>Twilight shakes her head
>”Anon, this is awful.”
>Fluttershy looks at it
>”I-I think it’s….nice.”
No you don’t
>”Bu-“
Lying isn’t my fetish
>”It’s strange…but I think it’s sweet of you”
See? That wasn’t so hard, be more honest with me.
>She beams at you
>Twilight gives levitates the bowl to you
>It now has slices of carrots in it
>Take it, but you glare
>God damn it
>After that little exchange the hot air balloon is set up
>You all get in and it sets off
>It’s a tight fit and so you’re sitting down
>Fluttershy keeps trying to go on your lap
Stop it
>Twilight clears her throat
>”Let her, you’re a guest to her family’s dinner.”
>You sigh
>Fluttershy steps up onto your lap
>Settles down happily
>Nuzzles into your stomach
>Kind of tickles
>Smile a little
>Twilight notices and gets a smug smile
>You frown extra hard
>Fluttershy is staring up at you
>”You need to smile more, Anon.”
>”E-everytime I see you frown it makes me a little sad…”
>Still frowning
>”I’m um…just being honest like you said…”
Why don’t you just tell me all the stuff you want to tell me on this trip?
>She smiles and clears her throat
>Oh boy
>”Anon I love you very much….”
>”But you have some very bad habits.”
>”Um I give you vitamins you won’t take them.”
>”They’re good for you.”
>Ugh
>”And you have been getting up very late mister.”
>”I think it’s because you’ve been staying up late at n-night.”
How do you know that?
>”I w-watch you sometimes.”
>Ugh!
>”I c-care about you very much and I want my sweetheart to be healthy.”
Twilight how much longer till we arrive at Cloudsdale?
>”Two hours”
>Eye twitch
>Half an hour passes
>”Ooooh, and when you use bad language it’s like seeing a bunny do it!”
>”It’s not nice to talk like that Anon, it doesn’t suit you.”
>Another half hour
>”You need to do the laundry more often. You just let the clothes pile up.”
>She blushes
>”I sometimes enjoy um sniffing it and taking a few clothes home with me but um…”
>”Well, I want you to have clean clothes.”
>An hour passes
>”Then I would lay you down on my b-bed.”
>Her wings shoot up
>”Take off your clothes…slowly, to savor the moment.”
>Fluttershy nuzzles into your stomach
>”Oh my! And then I’d-“
Stop! Please! Stop! Now you’re just telling me your fantasies!
I don’t know what was worse the nagging or this!
>”I’m just being honest.”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh
>”We’re here.”
Thank god!
>You set a foot out of the balloon and nearly fall over
>They gasp and you balance yourself back into the balloon
Oh… right
>One lecture and cloudwalking spell later and you’re following Fluttershy through Cloudsdale
>It truly is a beautiful place
>Fluttershy happily leads you along
>Many of the ponies here are not used to you
>They stop and stare
>”What’s that monkey?”
>Fluttershy sharply turns her head
>”He’s not a monkey, he’s a human.”
>”They’re apes not monkeys!”
Who cares?
>”I do…”
>You pat her head
I don’t
>She whimpers at you
>”It’s okay to admit they hurt your feelings…”
But they didn’t
>”Oh okay.”
>Unfortunately she pretty much ended up correcting everyone
>Everyone
>It took forever to finally arrive at her parent’s house
>It was actually a large cloud house
>It’s bigger than your house and Fluttershy’s cottage
>You look to Fluttershy
>She looks at you
>You look at your bowl
>Suddenly nervous
Hey Fluttershy?
>”Yes Anon?”
Are they nice?
>She nods
>”I’m s-so excited for you, this is your first Family Feast Day!”
Actually we had something similar on Earth called Thanksgiving
>”Oh, how wonderful.”
We ate turkeys
>Her ears flatten
>”That’s okay it’s natural for you.”
>Fluttershy would give you fish sometimes but she was still squeamish about creatures being eaten
>You follow her to the entrance of the house
>She knocks with her hoof
>The door slams open
>”Fluttershy!”
>”You’re late!”
>This pegasus had a color scheme similar to Fluttershy
>Her coat was lighter though and she had green eyes
>Green bows were in her hair and tail
>Her cutie mark was a few flowers
>Fluttershy stammers
>”Um mom, we were late because everyp0ny kept calling Anon a mon-“
>”What about the monkey?!”
>You and Fluttershy both wince
>She’s loud
>”Mom, he’s a human.”
>”Oh! This is that boyfriend you were telling me about!”
>WHAT?!
>You eye Fluttershy
>She whimpers
>Posey smiles
>”Why didn’t you introduce me to him earlier?!”
>”Well I was going to-“
>Posey walks up to you
>She smiles sweetly to you
>”Hello dear, I’m Posey but you can call me mom if you want.”
Hello I’m Anon…
>You fist-bump her hoof with your free arm
>”My daughter can be a bit rude at times and a little silly, but I’m glad she found somep0ny special.”
Yeah about th-
>Fluttershy looks like she’s about to seep spaghetti and burst into tears
>You bite your tongue
>Give Fluttershy your best “this isn’t over” look you can muster
>”Honey, why are you louder than usual all of a sudden?”
>A soft voice calls from inside
>”Fluttershy is here!”
>Posey screams back
>”Oh our little angel is here…”
>”And her hummie boyfriend!”
>”How exciting!”
>A stallion appears at the front door
>He’s got an orange coat and bright red mane
>His cutie mark is two lightning bolts
>He nuzzles Fluttershy
>”How have y-you been doing Fluttershy?”
>”Oh just fine daddy, um this is my boyfriend….”
>You glare
>”Anon.”
>”Oh my. He’s quite tall…is he an animal?”
>”Not at all, he’s just like us and I l-love him.”
>”I’d like to b-be introduced if that’s okay with you.”
>”Of course.”
>….
>Oh god
>That’s where she gets it
>Fluttershy’s dad goes up to you
>”I’m ummmm *mumblemumble*”
I’m Anon and I didn’t quite catch that
>Posey sighs
>”His name is Hurricane….”
>Posey then motions everyone inside
>”We’ve got food to eat, let’s go!”
>The parents go to the kitchen and before Fluttershy can follow you glare
>She whimpers
>”I-I love you and-“
So you lied to them
>She blushes
>”N-no…”
That’s not cool Fluttershy!
>”Please Anon! I wanted to make sure they would let you come over…and um I-I hope after this we really will be….um a couple.”
Ugh…….
>You both enter the house
>You set the bowl of….whatever the hell you made onto the table
>Hurricane heads into the kitchen
>Posey motions for the two of you to sit on the couch with her
>”Well, Fluttershy you’re lucky that you came late.”
>She grumbles
>”The food isn’t going to be ready for a few more minutes”
>”So I’d like to show your boyfriend your foal pictures”
>Posey squees
>Fluttershy suddenly starts making nervous gestures
>She looks between the photo album, her mom, and you
>”Um no that’s okay uh-.”
>Posey has already opened up the album
>The first picture is of a baby Fluttershy sucking on a stuffed bunny
>It’s adorable
>Fluttershy is blushing and stuttering
>”Isn’t she just the cutest?”
>You nod
>Posey flips the page
>Takes a while because hooves
>Next picture is Fluttershy in the pony equivalent of potty training
>Still really cute
>”Um! Uh *eep!*”
>She’s reduced to a bunch of squeaking while you subconsciously pet her mane
>You two are too distracted by the pictures to realize this
>Posey was about to go to the next page when Hurricane calls from the kitchen
>”Um Posey, dear I need some help in here if you wouldn’t mind.”
>”I do mind!”
>”What?”
>”I DO mind!”
>”W-why?”
>”I’m busy showing Anon here her potty training pictures!”
>”Huh?”
>”I SAID I’M BUSY SHOWING ANON, FLUTTERSHY’S POTTY-“
>You turn to Fluttershy
>She’s bright red and looks like she’s about to faint
>”Oh! I need these plates carried to the table though….”
>Posey closes the album and sighs
>”Well you two sit down, we’re going to eat now.”
>She goes into the kitchen
>The seating is awkward because the chairs are so small
>A few minutes of silence pass
>Posey and Hurricane place plates of food on the table
>Stuffing
>Yams and marshmallow
>Mash potatoes
>Green beans
>Corn on a cob
>Everything you would see at a Thanksgiving dinner
>Except turkey and other meat…
>Posey sits at one end of the table
>Hurricane on the other
>You’re sitting across from Fluttershy
>She gives you bedroom eyes
>You roll your eyes
>There isn’t much talking at first you eat some yams
>Fluttershy is still giving you the bedroom eyes
>She’s balancing a corn on the cob between her hooves
>She takes a bite
>Looks at your reaction
>She spreads some butter on it
>Fluttershy then licks it slowly and bites into the cob
>Is she seriously trying to seduce you at this moment?
>With her parents here?
>You subtlety motion to her parents and frown at her
>She doesn’t take the hint and adds more butter to the corn on the cob
>Fluttershy is barely balancing it now
>She tries to eat it seductively but it slips from her hooves and lands on her plate
>Her parents look at the two of you
>Hurricane smiles
>”Aaaaw how sweet of you Fluttershy, sharing your food with him like that.”
>Seriously?!
>Well, ponies do have awkward table manners
>Not that they’re slobs or anything
>It’s just the lack of hands and stuff like that makes passing food and eating it slow and strange
>Posey is currently chasing the sprouts on her plate
>You’ve been holding in laughter at that
>Posey stops and looks at you expectantly
>You look down at the corn on the cob
>It’s covered in too much butter, pony spit and bite marks, and not just any pony
>Fluttershy of all ponies
>You don’t want to look like a dick so you eat it
>Eeeeew
>Fluttershy looks extremely pleased
>Her wings flap a little
>You’ve mostly lost your appetite after finishing it
>But you continue to eat
>Eventually Posey eyes the bowl you brought
>Uh oh
>”Is this some dish from your country?”
>What do you say?
>That is was something you threw together last minute
>And your friends tried to improve it?
>…
It’s a strange dish from my world
>Hurricane and Posey look excited
>”Another world?”
Yeah, but that dish isn’t ver-
>They serve themselves some of it
>Fluttershy slowly serves herself some
>You’re the only one not eating it
>Posey chokes up
>”This tastes…..interesting…”
>Hurricane nods
>”It’s nice…”
>Fluttershy makes a face
>”Lying isn’t his f-fetish.”
>You whisper
What the hell are you saying?
>Fluttershy stutters
>”It’s what you told m-“
No, that’s just not something you say to your parents
>”Oh okay…”
>You think of how to clear this up to the parents when you see Posey gagging
>Hurricane is also gagging
>Fluttershy barely ate any of hers
Should have just brought some cider…
>Fluttershy goes back to staring at you
>Or not
>A drunken Fluttershy sounds like a nightmare
>Her parents don’t eat any more of your culinary abomination
>In fact Posey throws the bowl off of Cloudsdale
>She takes her seat and things calm down
>Hurricane smiles at the two of you
>”S-so when did you to meet, if you don’t mind me asking?”
>Fluttershy brightens up
>”Well I first heard about a cute new creature appearing in the Ponyville Library.”
>She blushes
>”But um I was being a bit sh-shy….so I just followed him for a few weeks…”
>Fluttershy fumbles with her hooves
>And looks very anxious
>”Um well a few months actually…I uh kept running away because I was too n-nervous to talk to him.”
>Posey facehooves
>You sigh
>You remember those times
>Cute yellow pony that followed you everywhere
>Boy, were you in for a surprise when she confessed that she developed feelings for you
>Posey interjects
>”When did you two actually meet?”
>Fluttershy smiles again
>”Well I decided it was time to be bold, and I approached him one day.”
>”Do you remember Anon?”
>Oh god you do
>”I said: ‘Hello I’m Fluttershy, I l-love you, do you want to have sex with me?’”
>Her parents blink
>Fluttershy realizes what she just revealed
>She stammers but keeps going
>”Then Anon, you said….”
>You said that you would never have sex with a pony
>Fluttershy whimpers
I forgot…
>She sighs in relief
Um enough about us….how about you two?
>Posey thinks about it
>”Well I used to be part of the
Guard.”
>Hurricane responds slowly
>”I um work at the weather factory….I specialize in m-making storm clouds and controlling their electrical properties.”
>Posey smiles
>”He guessed my fetish and we’ve been together ever since.”
>You were munching on some mashed potatoes and nearly choked at that remark
>Fluttershy smiles at you
>That explains so much
>Also you’re simultaneously intrigued and horrified about the fetish her parents indulge in
>Posey gets a mischievous look
>”So have you two guessed each other’s fetishes yet?”
>Hurricane gasps
>”Posey that’s private!”
>”I’m just curious on how often these two will attempt at making us grandkids”
>You’re blushing now
Uh Ms.Posey we can’t have kids
>She sighs
>”Oh…right…”
>Fluttershy looks quite sad
>”We can always try to find a way Anon…”
>You’re about to lose your cool
>It’s bad enough that she’s deceiving her parents
>Her making passes at you while doing it is rubbing you the wrong way
>Time for another subject change…
Fluttershy told me about how she came to care for animals…
What happened after that? The family?
>Posey purses her lips
>”Well, we were so worried.”
>Hurricane nods
>”The staff at the flight camp couldn’t find her…”
>Fluttershy gets a guilty look
>”I’m sorry mom and dad, I never wanted to leave the ground again.”
>”All those animals, the sights, and the friends I made.”
Did you think Fluttershy had died?
>Posey shakes her head
>”Oh not at all.”
>She grins at her daughter
>”She may not be the best flier, but she has an unstoppable resolve.”
>Hurricane nods
>”We knew that wherever she was, our daughter was strong enough to survive. That she can succeed.”
>Fluttershy blushes at the praise
>”I came back to them as a strong mare. I was a bit scared to see them again, but you never give up on family.”
>They get up from their seats and embrace
>Fluttershy gives you an inviting look
>But you turn your head away
>She just wants an excuse to hug you
>That’s all
>You were getting this feeling you didn’t like
>One that you tried not to feel
>Watching them embrace like this…
>You don’t care
>So, why did you ask in the first place?
>”Anon? Don’t you want to join in?”
>That feelings getting stronger
No, I have to go excuse me
>You quickly walk outside of the house
>You’re not sure what you’re doing
>But you walk for a few minutes until you come to a more secluded spot
>You can see the sunset from here and part of the ground below
>You sit cross legged and just think
>Trying to think of other things, but your mind keeps wandering back
>To family…
>What is yours doing right now?
>Probably eating on some turkey
>You smile as you imagine what some of your relatives are doing
>You wonder if they’re thinking about you
>For their sake you hope not
>You hope they’re just happy and yet
>That feeling comes back
>You shake your head
>You’re so distracted you don’t hear those soft hoof steps behind you
>Fluttershy settles down beside you
>”Anon are you okay?”
What do you want? I’m fine…
>She shakes her head
>”Please, I don’t want to see you hurting.”
Hurting? Hah! It’s nothing I’m just thinking
>She continues to look at you with concern
>You put on a smile
About my family
>”Oh sweetie...”
>She gets closer to you
>You don’t pay attention and keep talking
I’ve been gone for quite a while now. That discussion of your separation with you parents….
It made me think. Do they know I’m still out there? I couldn’t stand the thought of, o-of
>Fluttershy rubs your back
>”It’s okay to say it.”
I couldn’t stand the thought of them assuming I’m dead. It would make sense for them to do so, but I’m not dead.
>You sigh
I don’t want them to think I died and I’m lost forever. Huh, they might have already had a funeral…yeah, and then maybe today they’re praying for me…
>Your false smile fades
>You continue to stare off ahead
And I can’t tell them…I can’t see them again. Go home, show them that they don’t need to pray. That I’m alive and well….
>You turn your head away
That I…love them
>You feel something trail down your cheek
>It’s a tear
>Fluttershy looks at this and looks about ready to cry
>”Anon, I’m so sorry and I’m sure they love you very much.”
>”I care about you with all my heart.”
No you don’t! *snf* You’re just some pony who wants to get in my pants!
I’m just a lost freak to you, I’m not something special. I’m all alone in this strange place, and the people who really cared for me aren’t here……and they never will be!
>For the first time since coming to Equestria you begin to cry
>You actually feel truly alone now
>And it’s an awful feeling
>You suddenly feel yourself in a tight embrace
>Fluttershy is hugging you tightly with tears forming in her eyes
>She looks into your eyes
>”Listen to me mister! You are not a freak!”
>”You’re not just something to me you’re somep0ny special!”
>”Don’t you ever say such demeaning things again!”
>”*snf* You’re hurting and I want you to know.”
>”That your family loves you very much!”
How do you know?
>She smiles a little
>”Because no matter what happens you don’t stop loving them, they still have hope.”
>”And they will always remember you fondly….”
>She hugs you tighter
>”Besides your family here loves you too.”
>She strokes your face
>You tear up more
>Does she really mean that?
Fluttershy do you really-
>She pulls you into a kiss
>Her warm and soft lips caress yours
>It feels a bit strange, being kissed by a pony
>But the comfort she’s giving you makes up for it
>This kiss wasn’t just for physical enjoyment
>You felt her love
>”*smek*”
>She pulls her lips back
>”Mmm I love you”
>Then she kisses you again
>”*smek*”
>Fluttershy pulls away slowly and exhales
>You feel better…
>You wipe away your tears
>”Come along Anon, you’re my family and it’s Family Feast Day.”
>You nod
>And follow her back to her parent’s house
>You still aren’t a couple
>It’s still Fluttershy after all…
>But you’ve become part of a family
>You enjoy the rest of the holiday eating and having fun with them
>Today was a good day
 
>You are now Rarity
>Sweetie Belle is late to dinner with your parents
>You’re about to go out looking for her when you see her galloping off in the distance
>She approaches you with a big grin on her face
>What’s that on her back?
>As she approaches you see a familiar bowl
>Oh no
>Sweetie Belle smiles
>”I found this yummy stuff!”
>”It came from the sky!”
>That is definitely the horrid….thing Anon made
>You’re about to dispose of it until your mother appears beside you
>”Oh Sweetie that looks good!”
>”Put it on the table with the rest!”
>You shudder
>There is no arguing with your parents over this sort of thing
>You sit down at the table
>Everyp0ny else sits down too
>You look at the bowl….and everything else
>It’s all similar mushy gunk
>All of it
>Or it’s burnt
>Your eye twitches
