>It seemed the book was better than good, it was great! Great enough for you to never take your eyes off of it until sleep smacked you into the nightly coma.
>You dream a dream of badassery as a buff you ride into battle on a fearsome adult version of Spike. Cleaving through armies of evil versions of Applejacks for some reasons. Trying to reach the castle of the evil Queen Celestia.
>You both bust through the front doors as a giant Freinder firebombs the towers.There, a monstrous horse with flames for manes and evil red eyes stood near her throne, as princess Sweetie Belle was trapped in a cage overhead.
>"Evil queen! I shall slay you and rescue the princess! It is my destiny! Look! for it even says so on my Cutie Mark!"
>You lift your arm to her as she hisses, there was imprinted your cutie mark. A literal phrase saying "Defeat evil queen, Save princess"
>"HAHAHA, YOU DARE CHALLENGE ME?YOU LITTLE WORM....LET'S SEE HOW YOU HANDLE THIS! GO MY ULTIMATE MONSTER, TWILIGHT SPORKLE!"
>Suddenly, a gigantic spork with Twilight's face appeared. Breathing books at you and Spike.
>"Don't worry Anon! I got this, you go save the princess!"
>You hop off Spike and look at him with stern eyes. "No Spike! we have to fight her together! were pals remember?"
>Spike swats the books away with his massive fists. "Yeah man, but she's a spork....I think I can handle this."
>"Oh...oh right...ok then, just don't get beat!" And with that you charge past the giant spork, cleaving through more evil Applejacks as you hop twenty feet in the air and land infront of the queen "It's over Celestia, your evil reign of stuff is over!" You hold your sword out at her.
>"HAHAHA, YOU ONLY THINK IT'S OVER. BUT IT'S JUST BEGUN! BEHOLD, MY ULTIMATE ATTACK!" Celestia fired a gigantic energy ball from her horn as you guard it with your sword.
>You grunt and groan as the ball pushes you back. You can hear the princess yelling for you. It gives you enough strength to repel the ball back at the queen. Making her explode into a bunch of cookies.
>"Haha! I knew I'd win....now then!"
>You hop high into the air and punch through the cage and grab the princess as you land, you can hear the giant spork's deathcry as you place the princess down "No worries princess, you're safe now!"
>The princess gave you a blushy cute look. "Thank you Anon...I...I have a present for you...I want to tell you something"
>"A present?...umm..yes princess?" You begin to blush yourself.
>She starts to circle her hoof on the ground "Well Anon.....um.....Anon.....ummmm..Anon....Anon....Anon....Anon....."
>Things started to go dark as Sweetie Belle just called out your name. You slowly felt alittle nauseated as her voice transformed into Fluttershy's.
>You groggily open your eyes, you're back in the cottage? You feel a hoof gently rocking you as your mother's voice soothely runs through your ears.
>"Anon...hehe, come on get up you little sleepyhead, or the day will go by without you"
>You turn over, and blink. You see Fluttershy trying to wake you. But you still feel so tired, you weakly and sleepily try swatting her hoof away "Moooommm...I'm still sleepy....can I have a few more minutes?"
>Fluttershy continued to tap at you "Come on Anon, if I do that then you'll just sleep for a few more minutes after, and a few minutes after that. Don't you just want to get up and greet the day?"
>You turn away from her "No"
>She still continued to tap you "Anon, come on....I made lunch, you already slept through breakfast"
>You shrug "No"
>Fluttershy sighed and stopped trying, she turned to Angel. "Angel, do you think you can wake up Anon? I don't want his food to go bad"
>Angel nodded at her with a slick grin, he cracked his paw knuckles as he hopped onto your bed and went infront of your face, and begins poking your nose.
>You scrunch your nose as you turn to the other side, but he just hops over you and begins doing it again. You grumble as you put your blanket over your face.
>Angel just simply gets ontop of you and aimlessly hops around ontop of you.
>It's pointless now, you are too annoyed to fall back to sleep. You sigh, and start to get out of bed "Ok ok....ugh...I get it..." You sigh "Good Morning Angel"
>He just gives you a thumbs up with an arrogant smile plastered on his face. Even if you both were buddies now, an occasional once over still occured.
>You yawned as you rubbed your head, lunch already? It's rare that you sleep in like that. But that Daring Do book, you just got so caught up in it. You look over to Fluttershy "Hey mom, good morning"
>Fluttershy giggled as she brought lunch to you "You little sleepyhead, its alittle past noon now. Did Daring Do keep you awake?"
>You start to munch at your lunch...hmnnn...it was getting cold. "ummm...yeah, hehe...hey?" You take a look around your bed "Where is it anyway?"
>Fluttershy pointed to the dresser with the odd Discord lamp "I put it in there, I was afraid you were going to get drool all over it, I didn't want any reason for Twilight to be upset about it"
>You thank her, cripes. Did you really get into it that much? And although the dream you had was starting to flee from your memory, you could recall saving a princess.....and a killer spork. You paid it no mind though, as you thought about the visit from Celestia. Was that today? You didn't actually know.
>You finish your lunch. Ugh, the fact it wasn't warm did make you feel alittle bad for oversleeping. You hadn't even done your daily dusting yet.
>You apologised to Fluttershy for oversleeping. But of course she tells you the usual, that you didn't do anything worth apologising for. And then slipped in alittle bit of a bittersweet line of doing better next time.
>You nodded and quickly went to snatch your feather duster,broom, and dustpan. The cottage wasn't going to dust itself! And it always got so dirty and dusty. This was your duty you gave yourself, FOR MOTHER!
>Though, as you dusted and cleaned. Fluttershy didn't seem as worrisome when you went to clean at higher spots like she used to be. You felt a mixed feeling of pride that she trusts you more and oh god what if you fell?
>As you dusted, there was a soft tapping at the door. You didn't want to stop your duties, so you let Fluttershy answer the door.
>It was.....Sweetie Belle? What what? She seemed to have a good sized saddle bag over her. What could she possibly be here for? Why was your mind making a big deal? You only met her once.
>"Hello Sweetie Belle, What can I do for you today?" Fluttershy always had a knack of making any visitor welcome into her home with that soft inviting voice.
>"Hi Fluttershy! I'm actually just here to drop off a delivery. It's from my sister" That cute squeaky voice started to pierce into you. You had no idea why, and did your best to ignore it. You also wonder about the delivery, you don't remember any interaction of you or Fluttershy dealing with her sister. Then again, you had no idea who that might be.
>Though it seemed Fluttershy knew what they might be as she led Sweetie to your bed....why your bed? You put a stool down to reach a higher place, and tried to focus more on dusting.
>"Do you want me to just put this here Fluttershy?" Sweetie Belle tossed up the saddle bag onto your bed.
>Fluttershy smiled "Oh yes, that will be fine. I'm sure Anon will be excited to see the clothes Rarity made for him"
>You coughed....oh good lord, she's Rarity's sister? Why do you suddenly feel like a doofus? Surely that meant she too was of proper mannerisms.
>Sweetie Belle hears your cough and turns to you, noticing you "Oh...Hi Anon"she waves at you "What are you doing way up there?"
>Oh god, she spoke directly at you. Wait? Why did this bother you? It didn't bother you that much the first time. You instinctively wave at her, and nervously twitch "I'm...umm...ah...just dusting"
>Sweetie Belle looks at you oddly "oh....umm..ok" She turns over to Fluttershy and whispers "is he sick or something?"
>Fluttershy's eyes widen at such a suggestion. She quickly walks over to you and asks you to step down. You get confused at her sudden worried tone.
>"Anon...how do you feel? Are you ok? are you feverish?...mmnnngh" Fluttershy puts her hoof to your head and her ear to your heart.
>Sweetie Belle giggled abit, she found the whole mom/son aspect kind of cute. But dammit, the fact she was giggling was embarassing. "M..Mom..Mom...come on...I'm ok....I'm just alittle tired still..c..come. You had Angel forcibly wake me up remember...I'm fine"
>You sigh, Fluttershy calms down when she personally felt you were ok. Again, she kept in mind the difference of mothering and babying. But you getting sick before any proper check up was no joke to her.
>"Anon, please. If you ever feel even the teensy bit sick. You let me know ok?" Fluttershy looked deep into your eyes, she wanted to know you understood and would do as she said.
>You nod, still feeling embarassed and a tad annoyed. "Yes mom"
>Sweetie Belle seemed to have somewhere else to go it seems as she bid a farewell. You saw her walk over to the door, you felt an odd sense of relief and sadness.
>Suddenly she stopped and turned to you "Oh I almost forgot! Since I'm here anyway I can give you this Anon!"
>You tense up immediatly as Sweetie Belle steps towards you and gives you a terribly drawn card. "It's from Apple Bloom, it's so you could come to the clubhouse and we won't tell you to leave, you know, a ticket! Oh and, the instructions on how to get to the clubhouse is on the back! Ummm...Anyway, I gotta go, bye!" She waved to you and hurried out the front door, saying goodbye to Fluttershy aswell.
>You were stunned, you only gave a weak goodbye as you stared at the card. Surely you were an idiot. Acting like this was not normal, and yet you were stunned anyway. Heck, you had a feeling the only reason you had this card was probably because they wanted to try to unlock whatever secrets you might have for a cutie mark. And yet you didn't care....at all.
