>Day little army of four in Equestria >You are Anon. >A human brought to this world of talking ponies and other magical bullshit that you don't understand. >And you are bored. >Seriously bored. >Without technology you realized how boring everything in this world was. >You were able to find a stable job that kept a roof over your head. >But the lack of entertainment has forced you to do the thing you hated to do the most back in your world. >Exercise. >You ran, you lifted, you boxed, you even learned some MMA. >In a matter of months, you went from a happy overweight technophile to a slightly toned bored alien. >Few more months and you were quite fit. >Even right now you are trying to entertain yourself by doing, what you call; -the log kick-. >It's a little thing you invented that helped you keep your reflexes sharp and legs tight. >You are facing the ground, hands keeping your head from touching the dirt. >Now you are facing the sky, leg forced upwards to kick a smallish log in the air, hands smacking back on the ground. >Now dirt. >Now sky. >Dirt. >Sky. >This is what you have resorted to doing without technology. >A sigh escapes you as you flip, kicking the log harder so you have time to jump your body to face the opposite direction. >When you start to get back in the groove you finally notice the six mares looking at you. >Well, three mares and three fillies. >You try to keep your eyes on them while continuing this cycle of log kicking. "Hey Rainbow, AJ, Rarity. Hi Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Applebloom." >Maintaining your focus on the log is a bit harder with the six guests. >The last time you didn't pay attention, you almost ended up neutered. >The orange mare smiles and tips her hat. >"Howdy Anon, we interruptin' somethin'?" "Nope, you need something or just dropping by to say hi?" >The little flips get a lot more interesting now that you have something to see that wasn't landscape. >Watching these girls eyes follow your head as you spin is adding some entertainment to your workout. >It doesn't take long for you to decide that these mares deserve your full attention, since they came out of their way to see you. >A quick kick has the log bounding across the open field. >AJ chuckles, watching the log as it flops away. >"Actually, we were hopin' ya could foal sit fer us." "What? You came to me to foal sit?" >This is more than a little shocking, most of the ponies who tried to speak with you either only made small talk or were delivering something. >You can't help but smile as a warm feeling of trust fills your heart. >"Errr, actually." >And that warm feeling is smothered to death by an explanation as to why they are really asking YOU. >Rarity coughs as AJ struggles to explain. >"You see darling, everypony else we would have normally asked is busy." "So I am your last resort... Gee, I am filled with so much warm fuzzy friendship I think I just might cry." >The feeling of being a last resort causes you to let out a small groan and shake your head. >'Whoa, hold up there.' >That all too familiar internal voice grabs your attention. >The voice of your brain. >'Okay, so they came to you last, at least they trust you enough to consider it, right?' >You smile again and mumble. "Right Brain, thanks for finding the silver lining. Now I don't feel shit tier." >"What tier darling?" >The mares voice causes you raise your head and realize you spoke to your brain again. >Worse, you were caught. "I said I am fighting the tears Rare, eh eh" >The three mares stare at you deadpan before you cough. >'Awkward silences are a good sign of developing friendships kids!' >Rainbow clears her throat and opens her mouth >"Aaaaanyway, you think you can watch 'em for us tonight? We got called to Canterlot and the invites said to bring our families. Well, cept for the kids." "... But why is-" >'NO! NO! DO NOT BRING UP SCOOTALOO'S FAMILY OR YOU WILL MAKE HER CRY AGAIN! SO HELP ME I WILL DESTROY YOU FROM THE INSIDE YOU DECREPIT MOTHER FUCKER!' >Your brain gets passionate sometimes "I mean, why can't you bring the kids?" >AJ shrugs and scratches her head >"We don't rightly know. Tha message we got didn't say why. Didn't even tell us why we were needed." "That's... weird." >You look to the three fillies who look up at you in turn. >Their faces are a mixture of curiosity and worry. >This was quite common for you, being an alien invading THEIR home. >This treatment was common from the natives... well, save for -them-. >A shudder runs across your body. >While most of Ponyville tolerated or feared you, there is a small group that is more than a little accepting of you. >Most are kind enough to respect your feelings on the matter of not wanting to bone horses. >But then there's HER... >'Speak of the devil and she shall appear' >Something is coming from behind the little group in front of you. >Fluttershy. >aka: your rapist. >aka: the element of kindness. >aka: the scariest thing you have ever met that had pink on it. >Following her are Twilight, the rest of the apple family, Rarity's parents, Pinkie Pie, and trailing behind is Spike. >Poor guy is carrying a trunk. >'Twenty to one; it's full of books.' "I can watch them tonight, but I should warn you that I am not really good with kids, of any species" >It's true; you didn't hate kids, but you never liked them much either. >"Shucks sugarcube, kids are easy ta handle. Just be kind ta 'em 'n show 'em some love." "... And feed them, keep them clean, don't let them break anything, don't let them get into fights, don-" >"Exactly! See? Yer better at this than ya think!" >'Interrupted; how nice.' "N- ugh! all right, so, anything I should be aware of?" >You try to wrap this up before that pink maned crotch seeker gets here. >Not the fun party one, the rapey quiet one. >Rarity places her hoof on Sweetie Belle's back. >"Just keep them safe and sound for the night. We will pick them up in the morning darling. Oh, and thanks ever so much for helping us. We would have been in quite a bind if you had declined." "Yeah, happy to help guys. Now I should probably get going." >You turn to leave "Come on ki-" >A call forces you to stop in your tracks. >"Hold it pardner!" >'Again? Seriously?! Come on Applejack, interrupting someone is rude!' "Yes AJ?" >Dash shakes her head and points to the fillies >"Aren't you forgetting something?" >A quick look down and you are met with six adorable little eyes staring at you >'Look at them, all soft and sweet and innocent.' 'AGH! Brain, stop it! Kids are scary, remember?' >'But look how adorable they are! They're just so... HNNGH!' >The sight causes you to groan and grab your chest, also grabbing the attention of the mares >You let out a soft cough and brush it off "Um, I was telling them to follow me Dash. I di-" >"No, you moron!" >'Fucking three times! Why is this so common?! do they have no respect for you?!?' '... You just answered your own question' "What then, what am I forgetting?!" >"U-um. Their sleeping bags and toothbrushes for starters, A-Anon..." >Fuck all sorts of duck >The yellow and pink menace is now hovering not even two feet away from you and getting closer >'EMERGENCY STEP BACK PROTOCOL MAN! Good god, quickly get back!' 'Roger brain!' >You try to match her step for approximate step. >How the hell do you measure a step to hovering? "O-Oh? Why didn't you bring them then?" >A whistle grabs your attention. >You turn to see a wave from a purple little adorkable unicorn. >"We did, we just needed to figure out who was watching them first Anon!" >The mare's overzealous reaction causes you to chuckle before remembering you are in step back mode. >You keep an eye on the little Flutterrapist and make sure she hasn't moved anymore. >'Yeah, that's right bitch... keep your distance' "So the trunk Spike is carrying is their over-night stuff then?" >The little dragon drops the trunk and gasps, hopping on Twi's back and nodding. "You okay buddy?" >"Y...yeah, Anon." >The dragon gasps. >"Just winded... I'm good though! Totally, completely good... uh huh" >Poor little guy, having to do the heavy lifting. >You walk up to the trunk and give it a small lift to see how heavy it is. 'Huh, not too bad. Maybe Spike is just overreacting?' >'Or maybe he isn't a toned muscle junkie who exercises when he is bored... come on man, know your privilege.' 'Do not start that shit brain or I swear I will find a way to pistol whip you! I heard enough of that shit back on Earth.' >A quick shake of your hands and you lift the chest with ease. >Pulling it over your body and placing it on top of your head for balance >The feat has earned you a couple of *ooh's* and *ah's* from the peanut gallery. >Their calls cause you to smile a bit, blushing as you nod. "So, leaving now I take it?" >The adults give you a round of agreements before saying their good byes to the fillies. >Not even five minutes later you and the three fillies are waving off to the small pack of ponies and one dragon. >'So, you are trusted, didn't have a close encounter of the rapey kind, and even got to show off a bit for the ponies! Kind of a win day, huh buddy?' "Yeah brain... kind of is" >"Who're ya talkin' to Mr. Anon?" >Fack. >Did it again. "Just talking to myself Applebloom. Had a strong thought and couldn't keep my voice to myself." >"Oh! Like sis does sometimes!" 'Hold up, AJ does it too?' >Looking to the filly, you give her a quizzical look. "What, really?" >"Yeah! Like when she gets hit on tha head by an apple 'n it hurts so bad she starts talkin' ta herself about what she coulda done and sayin' weird words!” 'Oh yeah, kinda got overexcited at the thought I wasn't slightly insane.' >'It's cool man, I don't think you're insane.' 'Fuck off you mental bound troll.' >Adjusting the chest, you sigh and look in the general direction of your home. "So, we should get to my place before it gets dark." >"Mr. Anon?" >Just as you are about to step forward you are stopped by Sweetie Belle. >You look down and see her and Scootaloo staring down and looking quite upset. "What is it Sweetie?" >"Y-you don't eat little foals who annoy the bigger ponies, r-right?" >She is tearing up as she says this. >Scootaloo is stepping back and whimpering. >Applebloom is shocked, voicing her concerns. >"What? 'Course not! M-Mr. Anon is a nice guy! Mah sis says so! R-right Mr. Anon?" >Even the brave filly is shaking now. >Where did this rumor start... >When weren't they around is a better question. 'I always knew that xenophobia was a big thing with these ponies... maybe I shou-' >'Wait!' 'Okay, I can understand the girls, but you too brain?!? What the actual fuck is with people and interrupting me today?!?' >'Sorry! Sorry, but listen, AJ said you are a nice guy right? A NICE. GUY. Meaning she doesn't think you are some sort of freak or monster! And since she told Applebloom, that makes two ponies in your corner! Plus Big Mac probably thinks the same!' 'Yeah... Yeah! That makes sense! Maybe I'm not as feared as I thought! Maybe I can live here without-' >'Fillies are still scared Anon.' 'Gah! Right!' "No Sweetie Belle! I wouldn't hurt anybody! Not a pony, not a dragon, not even a Diamond Dog; unless they tried to hurt me or a friend of mine. Plus, I don't eat meat anymore. Kind of stopped when I came here." >You chuckle and see Applebloom smiling and nodding to herself. >Looking over shows Sweetie Belle is calming down. >Sniffling a bit, but calming down. >Look to Scootaloo aaand she is still shaking. >"B-But Rainbow Dash said you eat EVERYTHING! Ponies, dragons, cows, dogs! She said you're crafty and lie so you can trick foals and colts to letting their guard down so you can eat them!" >The little Pegasus tries to fly away. >Tries being the key word. >Her little wings just can't lift her. "Scootaloo, she trusted you with me though, right?" >The little Pegasus stops fluttering her wings and she looks at you. >Still scared, but willing to listen. >"Y-yeah...?" "Now if Rainbow Dash believed I was a foal eater, would she really just leave you with me for a whole night, knowing I would eat her little friend?" >Scootaloo looks shocked and jumps forward, her expression one of pure anger. >"Rainbow Dash would NEVER let a friend get eaten by an ugly ape!" >Okay, that stung a little. "Right... so, she knows I am not going to eat you. Meaning she knows I don't eat ponies. Meaning...?" >Her face contorts for a moment, eyes to the ground and lips scrunched. >'Yep, there it goes, the little cogs in her head are turning.' >Not even a minute later and the little foal has a moment of realization. >"Meaning that we're... safe?" "Ding ding ding. And the winner is; Scootaloo!" >Applebloom and Sweetie are hopping around, cheering their little Pegasus friend for figuring out the obvious. >"Eheheh, g-guess not all things you hear about monkeys are true, s-sorry" "I'm a human, and it's fine. I'm kinda used to it" >"R-right a hyumon, sorry Mr. Anonymous..." >You pet the Pegasus's head and rub behind her ear, smiling as she pushes her head into your hand "It's fine, just remember that maaaybe I'm not so bad... Maybe." >You pull your hand away and Scoot stumbles and catches herself. "Now, lets get going, huh?" >Three little nods and you are off. >All in a line, fourteen sets of steps, and you are on your way home.       >You can't help but smile as your friends and their families all pile into the train cabs. "O-Oh my! Um, girls? I-I can't find my ticket anywhere." >A quick look over yourself and you whimper, unable to find your ticket. >"No ticket, no entry ma'am. Sorry" >The conductor looks down at you and is holding his ground. >"What?! Excuse me, but she's with us. She was invited to Canterlot by the princess!" >Twilight is behind him, trying to get him to let you on. >"Ma'am, we can't make any exceptions. I'm sorry! No ticket, no entry!" "Twilight, it's okay. I can just run to my cottage, see if it's there and catch the next train. If not, I can just grab some bits and buy another. It will be fine, I promise." >Twilight looks at you and frowns. >"Are you sure? I mean, we could buy you another right now... or this stallion could kindly make an exception for an ELEMENT OF HARMONY." >Your friend is now staring daggers into the poor stallion who is just trying to do his job. "Oh, no no no Twilight! I could never take your bits when I know I have enough myself. I will catch up with you, I promise." >You smile and nod, knowing your friend understands how you feel >"All right... but hurry! The Princess is waiting, okay?" "Okay, I will be right back" >With that said, you take off for your cottage. >You can't believe it. >You're so happy you could squee! >In fact... you decide to do just that! "*Squeeeeeeeee~*" >It cost you a lot of bits and you feel so bad about taking that poor dragons gems, even if he insisted. >But it was worth it! >At long lost you would finally be able to have Anon's love! >-One good deed deserves another-, that kind dragon is so right, you have helped so many ponies and now he is helping you! >Maybe you should invite him to your wedding when Anon gets the courage to propose? >Oh, it would be rude not too! >You reach your cottage and can't help but spin and squee again! "Angel? Angel honey, it's time~" >Within moments, Angel appears with your saddlebag. >You give him a great big hug and walk out "Oh my, and just in time. The sun is going down!" >This feels so perfect. >All you have to do is get Anon alone and you KNOW he will finally see how much you love him and he can love you back too. >With a spring in your step, you trot towards Anon's cabin, mere hours from being lovers at last!     >Muttering to yourself as you search for the missing fillies, you try not to lose your shit. "Bad... bad bad bad." >Damn these kids! >You HAVE to find them! "Sweeeetie Belle, please come out? It would make me happy to know at least one of you is on my side!" >Fear is causing you to chuckle. >Voice shaking. >A noise is coming from your kitchen. >You grab the pantry door and swing it open. >Right in front of you is Scootaloo. "Ahah!" >"Eep!" >She tries to fly off. >Once again, emphasis on the try. >You grab her by the hoof and wrap your arms around her. "Can't scamper you little bumble bee!" >"Noooooo! First one found... NNnn!" >With the filly caught, you let go of the little Pegasus and pet her head. >Now all you need to do is find Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, then you're golden 'I should have known they would try something sly to get what they wanted!' >'You should have known better than to make a bet, even as a joke, with kids who have connections.' 'Not in the mood for your shit brain!' >Time to backtrack, maybe there is a hint to where the other two girls are in what happened. >You were in your room. >Joking, playing cards with the foals. >Sweetie asked if you liked Rarity and Applebloom told her it was impossible, that you had to like Applejack. >Scootaloo laughed and said you had to like Rainbow Dash the best since she was the most extreme and awesome. >You tried to diffuse the situation by saying you liked all of them, that only annoyed them. >They now think you have a crush on all three mares and dared you to try and find your special somebo- somePONY. >Trying to get out of the situation, you didn't think before you opened your mouth and made a bet. >'Frankly, you deserve this for not listening to me' 'FUCK YOU BRAIN!' >Where were you. >Made a bet. >They win a game of hide and seek and you ask all three out on a date. >You win, they never tell anyone of what was said. >They accepted, you realized what had happened, and before you could try to remedy THAT situation as well they were off. >You tripped trying to follow them and they were hidden. >No hints as to where they were hiding... wait, when you hit the floor you heard something. >What was it? >It was... a bang, no no, a slam... the bathroom door! >You rush to the bathroom, the lights are on. >Light giggling is coming from the room and you let out a sigh of relief. >Stalking up to the shower, you open the curtains as gently as possible. >Sweetie Belle is sitting there... with a book. >You pat her head and she squeals. >"Mr. Anon! H-How did you find me?" >You raise an eyebrow and give her your best -are you serious?- face you can. >"... It was my giggling that did it, wasn't it?" >One affirmative nod and you scratch the back of her ear. >She coos and shakes her head in response. >"You'd laugh too if you read my sist-eep!" >She catches herself and covers her mouth "That's Rarity's diary?" >She pauses and nods, about to cry again. >The scene is heart wrenching. >Sighing, you think of something to say to calm her down. "So... anything good in there?" >She looks up at you and nods, trying to meet your gaze. >The filly points to a page, only a week or two old from the looks of it. >.Scanning the page, you read it aloud. "Dear diary, today was another day. Did some of this, some of that. Had a fabulous time at work. I must admit it was a tad boring. Until Anon the human showed up in town again. He looked so glum and tired. Poor Anon, sometimes I wish I could just hug the darling and pet his head. Let him know everything will be all right. Oooh! I utterly hate how much my job relies on reputation or I would throw all caution to the wind and let that poor boy know he is cared for! If only there were a way. He was so careful to watch where he stepped, trying not to hurt anypony. The kindhearted man deserves better than how we treat him. I was lucky to see him pass by the boutique later. He was hiding again. Why he dodges dear Fluttershy at every turn is beyond me... perhaps... he is infatuated with her and is too shy himself to let his feelings be known? If that is the case then maybe... no! I refuse to believe it! Anon is no mere coward, he would not let fear of rejection hold him from something he cared for! M-Maybe he just had an awkward moment with her and is now trying to avoid all contact with Fluttershy? Yes, this must be the answer!" >'Holy shit, this is a good read' 'Brain! I swear to god!' >Sweetie Belle giggles, a smile plastered on her face. >"Heehee! See? If Rarity likes you back then you don't need to worry about asking her out on a date!" >You sigh and shake your head. "Sweetie, this just says she doesn't want me to feel scared and alone. Liking someone is... is different" >'Dude, this is a practical confession!' 'Brain. No.' >You smile and pet her head. >She looks up at you with those big green eyes, confused. >"Mr Anon, but I KNOW she likes you! There's more, see?" >She opens up another page. >It's an earlier entry, about 2 months after you arrived in Equestria. >Before you can object Sweetie starts to read aloud. >"Dear diary, the human came to the boutique today. He requested some more clothes. He may be different, but his taste is elegant, more so than most ponies around here. The man stayed while I prepared his new sets clothes. We talked for a bit, he says he's lost weight since he first came here and truth be told... when I was getting his new measurements I felt flushed for a moment. I-It was so strange. He still had that adorable belly, like Spikey Wikey, but the muscles he was gaining... my, to be held in them. The mare to call herself his will be quite lucky! If he weren't a monkey I mean." >Sweetie doesn't stop, opening another page. >"Dear diary, Discord was up to his old habits again today. Anon stepped in and entertained him for a brief period. They talked and Anon's words seemed to resonate with the chaotic spirit. Discord returned all that he had caused to normal, without force! He and Anon chatted more, then parted ways. I was shocked by what Anon had done. Even more so when he walked up to me and asked me if I could mend his slacks. He had brought his old ones with him and, to my surprise, they could no longer be held even with a belt! When I was about to congratulate him on his astounding weight loss I could not... I looked to meet his eyes and saw fear in them. His eyes did not meet mine, rather, they met everypony else. They were looking at him with such disgust. Not in the open of course, he had just saved them from Discord. He was afraid... He did not have these eyes when confronted by Discord, but the moment he was alone with the one's who did not understand him... I felt my heart sink so low I could not speak to him the rest of the day. I made the necessary mends to his slacks and bid him good day... I do hope he did not see this as an action taken out of fear or hatred for him. Poor Anon... I am-" >Fighting back tears, you grab the book. "Sweetie Belle, stop" >This is becoming too much to handle, you need to stop her now before you start to cry. >"Mr. Anon... yer cryin'" >Too late. >You shake your head and rub your eyes. >When you stand up you see Scootaloo and Applebloom by the door. >With the yellow filly watching you, you give her a quick pat and flash a smile. "I think I win..." >Scootaloo looks at Applebloom and her mouth just gapes open. >Not noticing her little friend had came out already. >Applebloom just looks down and kicks her hoof on the ground >"Applejack likes ya too Mr. Anon... S-She talks about ya all the time 'n always kindly!" >The filly look up and you meet her gaze, letting her speak. >"She never believed those rumors about ya! That ya were plump cause ya ate ponies! That ya kept to yerself because ya were wicked! Th-That ya were mean and rude 'n... 'n..." >She sniffles, lips quivering. >"She said ya were just different 'n that ya didn't want ta be alone! She says she was sorry fer not bein' a friend to ya when ya needed one most! She-" "Applebloom... I get it and thanks." >You smile, letting your tears now fall without concern. >'Man, we only ever saw the hatred and tolerance, some ponies like us. Question is, why?' >Yeah, you never had a lot of confidence in yourself back on earth. >Didn't see yourself as someone worth bragging about. "Applebloom?" >"*Sniff* Y-yeah?" "Why did Applejack say all those things about me?" >"Well... ya were always kind ta us 'n never hurt anypony 'n ya helped Big Mac when everypony was makin' fun a' him fer his doll... 'n lots of reasons ah think." >Big Mac's doll. >You remember that, it was your your first day free of questioning and experiments in Equestria. >You came across the big lug being pestered by some teenage Pegasi for having a doll. >This pissed you off and you just couldn't stand there. >You ran up and shooed them off, threatening to kick their asses. >Plots would have made more sense to them, but hey, it was your first day as a free man. >They were already intimidated by the alien in front of them anyway. >Big Mac didn't talk with you much after that. >The occasional -hi- was had, but that's about it. >You thought he just plain wanted to ignore your existence. >The only reason you had the balls to help him was because you thought the locals just needed time to adjust. >That changed soon after... "Applebloom... what do you think of me?" >the filly looks lost. >"Huh?" >'What? What are you doing Anon?' "I said; what do you think of me? Am I bad? Good? ... A friend?" >The filly jumps on your couch and tries to meet you at eye level. >"'Course yer mah friend! Yer nice and ya help ponies even if they're scared a ya! 'N ya've been real nice ta us even if we were mean ta ya at first!" >Her statement confuses you. "Applebloom, how were you mean to me?" >Scootaloo speaks up and stands next to Applebloom >"We said all those mean things about you! How you eat fillies and lie!" >You chuckle and shake our head, tears no longer falling. "Girls, that wasn't mean. It was just listening to a rumor." >Soon enough, Sweetie Belle is up next to her friends. >"But it hurt your feelings though, right?" "Yeah, but... just the rumors existing hurts my feelings, not you three." >You scratch the back of your neck, trying to think of a way to end this quick. "Tell you what... let's start over, if you think you were mean to me. Hi! My name is Anon" >You smile and let a hand out >Doesn't take the three fillies a minute to smile some of the biggest smiles you have ever seen and put their hooves out. >"Ah'm Applebloom!" >"I'm Sweetie Belle!" >"And I'm Scootaloo!" "Well, nice to meet you Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo!" >You grip your hand slightly in the air and pantomime a handshake to all three of them. "Now then, anybody hungry?" >As if on cue, one of the fillies stomachs growls. >Applebloom slowly raises her hoof. >Sweetie and Scootaloo lose it, falling on the couch laughing >The laughing is infectious, you can't help but let out a few chuckles before heading to the fridge "All right, how do pancakes sound?" >Sweetie jumps back up and looks at you as if you offered them five grand in bits. >"Pancakes? At night?!" "Mhmm, pancakes, at night" >The three girls bounce around with such innocent joy at this simple thing. >It brings a soft smile to your lips. >'Applejack was right, kids are... well, they aren't easy, but they aren't hard either!' 'Yeah brain, maybe if all kids were as lovable and adorable as these three... no, it'd be impossible for me to have kids here anyway. Still though...' >You start to crack the eggs you'll need as the three fillies excitedly and accidentally stomp all over your couch >'... Anon?' 'Brain?' >'I... I just got a bad feeling, a big one.' >Worried, you pause before resuming your prep work. >Your brain has sort of gotten a sixth sense since coming here and having to deal with the constant rape attempts . >Bad feeling means Fluttershy is near and attempting to make you fuck her. '... But that's impossible since she and the other elements are on their way to Canterlot!' >'Still, I know these feelings when they come. Something is about to go down.' >You finish cracking the eggs. >Proceeding to pull out the milk, flour, and other pancake ingredients before stepping out of the kitchen "I'll be right back girls, do me a favor and watch the ingredients?" >As you leave you hear the fillies hooves stepping into the kitchen >You head upstairs and pull out your -rainy day- kit >'All right, let's make sure we have everything. Bat you found next to yourself from home when you got here? check.' 'Second bat I bought after Fluttershy's last rape attempt? Check.' >'Blunt piece of wood you like: check.' 'Chains and rope to restrain Fluttershy; even though I haven't been able to do so yet: check.' >'Super underwear that has that annoying as fuck fly and won't come off without a fight? Check.' 'Helmet in case she tries to knock me out again? Check.' >'Horse virginity?' 'Triple check the fuck out of that.' >'Ballin' >Okay... just casually hide these in the house when you can and check the windows and doors. >You aren't sure whats going to happen. >Maybe nothing, but you are prepared. >That little rapist won- >*CRASH* >Jesus titty slapping Christ! >"Scootalooooo! Ya broke Mr. Anon's nice bowl!' >"I didn't mean too! I-I was just trying to help mix the batter!" >'... We can't let her hurt those kids either' 'Not on our fucking life brain.' >You head back downstairs to clean up, unaware of the ploy on your human dick that is about to commence     >You could not be more excited! >Many of your animal friends who you love and who love you to bits are following you to Anon's house to help him see your love for him! >And you are just a few minutes from doing so! >Your plan is so sneaky and well thought you almost can't contain yourself! "*Squeeee~*" >Oops! >Couldn't contain yourself. >Once you get the fillies out of the house and lead them into Ponyville; Anon will be alone. >Then you two can talk, and he will finally see you as a mare he can love instead of a horrible r-ra... pony. >You still feel so bad about that one little misunderstanding! >Oh... two... three... u-um actually it's almost into the eighty's now... b-but this is different! >You stopped the fetish guessing and the forced -snuggling- attempts and now you just want to cuddle and actual snuggle him as he rubs your ears and kisses your neck and... and... "O-Oh my" >You are such a naughty girl Fluttershy! >May-maybe Anon will like that once you two m-make lo-lo-oooh! >The thought of you two naked together sends a shiver down your spine. >Ponies are always naked, but Anon is almost never naked! >You spin and sigh like the wistful girl you are. "I'm coming Anon~" >You hope he can forgive you and you two can start over. >You love him, even if he doesn't feel the same way now. >He has been so kind to everypony since he got here and saved so many of your animal friends! >That heroic nature is what made you want to be his friend. >Then the feelings of passion and longing came. >Now you can't be just friends, no no no! "*Squeeee~*" >One day, one day soon lovely Anon! >Your lover's cabin is within your view. >Trotting ahead, you try to get to him as soon as possible.       >It's happening! >Shaking, shivering, your entire being runs cold while it feels like it's being pulled in several directions! >You thought maybe you were being paranoid before, but now you know! "Fluttershy is here Anon!" >You try to warn your body, knowing he is still doubtful, and you are too! >She had to be on that train, or so you thought! >She is so close, you can practically sense her evil fluttery rape mind! "ANON! She is HERE!" >Please... God... Celestia... anyone! >Don't let Anon be raped this or any day to follow.     >Groaning, your brain's call forces you to accept what you had hoped was just a fit of paranoia. >It's happening. >You stand up from the table, dumping your remaining trash from dinner into your bin. "Girls... I think I have to tell you all something." >The fillies are eating their pumpkin pancakes with such glee, until you speak that is. >"Wha ish it Mishr Anon?" >Applebloom should learn not to speak with her mouthful. "Something bad is about to happen. B-but it's not something I will do! It's something... Fluttershy will do." >You tried getting help before. >No one listened, nor did they listen earlier with the fetish guessing phase. >It didn't take long for you to realize you were on your own. >But tonight is different. >'Tonight we have three little girls who are going to get involved in our mess' 'I won't let that happen!' >The three fillies are chuckling and smirking. >Sweetie Belle is barely containing herself as she talks. >"M-Mr. Anon! Hee, Fluttershy is the nicest pony ever! She could never do something bad, and to a good guy is plain impossible!" >Sighing, you attempt to explain this as best you can to the fillies. "Girls... Fluttershy likes me, A LOT!" >The girls expressions change as your words ring through the room. >Applebloom seems worried, Scoot has a look of defiance, and Sweetie seems confused. >The yellow filly points her hoof at you as she talks, mouth empty this time. >"Well, ya don't like her back, right Mr. Anon?" >Shaking your head, you reply. "No, I don't. Which is why she is going to do something bad, to try and force me to like her." >Scootaloo still seems unsure, looking at you as the others you've told this too have. >"But that's... silly, why would anypony do that?" >She is looking at you expectantly, hoping for a clear answer "Some people don't think you mean no when you say no... they think they can make love happen, even if the other person doesn't love them back." >All three fillies look shocked before slinking down. >A mix of remorse and regret is upon their faces. "Girls?..." >Sweetie is looking up at you, almost as if she is trying to say sorry. >"W-we did something like that too once... we know what you are talking about Mr. Anon, a-and it was bad... really bad!" >You remember hearing about this, trying to help their teacher out. "Right, I heard about that. Ms. Cheerilee and Big Mac, right?" >Applebloom seethes, followed soon after by a nod "This is like that, but no one believes me. Worse, she is getting... assertive" >The girls yelp and jump, looking at you with what you can only describe as pure dread in their eyes. >Applebloom manages to speak up though. >"A-a-a-assertive ya say?" "Yeah, like when she was listening to that Minotaur" >You nod and hear three little gulps. >Scootaloo looks to you, worry in her voice. >"W-what are we going to do then?" "WE aren't going to do anything. You three are going to get somewhere safe while I deal with her." >You still aren't 100% sure that she'll show up, but it is all starting to make sense. >The other elements aren't here to distract her or for you to hide behind. >The kids are here and she probably is planning to use them as blackmail or bait. >Plus it's the dead of night with at least a good 3 to 4 miles between here and Ponyville... if she planned this whole thing, you are in a world of trouble. >'Hnnnn-nnnn! A-Anon, she-' >No time left. >Looks like you won't be able to get the fillies out of here. "Girls, grab the metal handles on the bottoms of the windows and lift them up until you hear a click, then head upstairs and grab either one of the bats or the plank." >You rush to your door and lock it. >Pulling a floor plank off then you pull up a metal secondary door until it sticks with a loud *KLUNK*. >The girls are pulling up the windows, except for Scootaloo. "Scoot?" >"M-Mr. Anon? There's a lot of animals outside!" >Fuck, she IS here. >You pull down the little metal door to the front of your chimney, grab Scootaloo, and make a mad dash upstairs. "Hurry! Upstairs!" >Four pairs of steps let you know that Sweetie and Applebloom are following you. >You slam each window you pass as you head upstairs and towards your room. >The -rainy day- kit is still laid out on your floor. >'Good thing you forgot to set it up, huh?' 'Like you said brain; a win kind of day.' >You place the Pegasus down and hand them each a weapon to defend themselves with while grabbing the chains and rope >After you check the room for any opening, you put on the helmet and make the girls turn around as you put on the super underwear. >Your body is ready. >'As am I Anon! You have my tact.' 'God bless you brain.' "Okay, I am sure she won't hurt you three, so if it looks bad, run... run as fast as you can to Ponyville." >Sweetie Belle is shaking as she steps forward. >"B-But Mr. Anon, we can't just leave you alone with a-all those animal and a crazy Fluttershy!” >At least they understand she is crazy right now. "Listen, I am your foal sitter and as your foal sitter I am telling y-" >*CRASH CRASH CRASH!* >The room is filled with squeals and screeches as something starts to wail on your front door. >Something big! >"A-Anoooooooon~" >Yep. >You recognize that voice and sad attempt at seductiveness anywhere "What do you want Fluttershy?! Don't you think it's a bit callous and dark to try and rape me with three little fillies, three of your friends, right here?!" >You step in front of the girls and push them closer to your bed, trying to keep them as safe as possible. >"O-Oh no! I am not here to... to do that... I just want to talk! M-Maybe we can go out for a nice dinner and have some sweet kissing and cuddling afterward?" >You hear Scoot *ewwwww* at the mention of kissing and chuckle before getting your war face back on. "Oh, you just want to talk?" >"Y-Yes Anon!" "Like the time you -just wanted to talk- with those timber wolves next to you? Maybe like how you -just wanted to talk- with that wooden board in your hands! Ooh! Ooh! Or my favorite; the time you -JUST WANTED TO TALK-, while I was tied to my bed and-” >"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" >Right... fillies, can't get too detailed. "Point being, I don't think you -just want to talk-. I think you are still trying to force a thing that will NEVER. HAPPEN. Seriously Fluttershy! Just stop! Go home, stop trying to rape me, and get it through your head that I am not interested in a woman who will go to the lengths you have to try and make a guy like him!" >'You tell her sweetie!' 'Brain, not now!'     >"-I am not interested in a woman who will go to the lengths you have to try and make a guy like him!" >Anon... >Y-you are sorry, you really are! >You know if you can just explain it to him you can be friends, then more than friends, then lovers... you can be happy together! >He doesn't have to be alone too... >You get ready to grab your supplies from your saddlebag when something inside you clicks... something you never realized even though it was right in front of you. >You... you... you have gone too far... you haven't changed. >There is a practical army of animals ready to break down his doors, you used all those gems to buy tickets to Canterlot, and you even forged a royal letter! >You even have ropes in your saddle bag that you intended to use to MAKE him listen! >Oh no... no no no no! >You have done so many terrible things! >Sniffling, you manage to whisper out. “A-Anon... I am so sorry...” >Tears stream down your cheeks as you cry >and cry >and cry... >*Grrrrrr!* >H-Huh? >As you look up you can see that all your animal friends are mad, very mad. "N-No, it's fine. I-I'll be okay." >They ignore your words, grimacing and baring their teeth at Anon's house. >Between the barking, growls, chirps, and squeaks, you are being drowned out! >Oh no, no no no! "P-please calm down now! U-Um... please?" >They still aren't listening! >*C-CRSHHHHHLACK!* “Eep!” >You jump to the side and a metal door hits where you were standing. >Mr. Bear has ripped off Anon's doors and is rushing inside! "S-stop now please?!" >You yelp and lower yourself >This is so scary... s-so bad! >The rest of the animals follow Mr. Bear, filling up Anon's house. >Wh-what are they going to do? >Screams come form Anon's room. >"AGHH DAMMIT!" >"Mr. Anon!" >*GRAAAAARAH!* >Oh no! What did Mr. Bear do?!?     >You just got your fucking left arm lacerated by a bear! >Ignoring the pain, you proceed to beat the ever living shit out of his face with your chains. >This attack continues on his face and mouth until he stands. "Gotcha prick!" >A quick donkey kick in his bear balls has him roaring while reaching for his junk. >You follow up with a full slam from your chains once more into his face, trying to get him back down the stairs. >It works and the big bastard rolls all the way down! >A crunching sound makes you think he crushed a few birds and rats on the way down. >The three fillies are scared and cowering on your bed. >Can't say you blame them. >If you saw a man who is supposed to be one of the strongest things around get his arm cut as deep as you did, blood splashing everywhere, you would freak out too. >Scootaloo's yell breaks you from your thoughts. >"Mr. Anon! Dogs!" >Fuuuuuck! >You wish you didn't have to do this, you love dogs. >But the moment they step into your room you are going to have to kick some canine ass. >'We got mutts inbound!' >Four wild dogs enter your room. "Back! Back you curs!" >The chains are able to smack a few of the pack around, but there are too many. >One of them lunges for your leg! >You shut your eyes and brace yourself the best you can 'This is gonna hurt!' >Breathing quickly, you are left waiting. >Worried you open your eyes and see Applebloom hitting the dog in the head, pretty hard too. >The mutt yelps a few times and backs off into the pack. >One of them is trying to get close to her. >A quick chain slam down his skull stops him. "Get over here Applebloom!" >The little filly nods and runs to your side, followed by Sweetie and Scoot >'This would feel so much like a left 4 dead moment if you weren't fighting for your horse virginity.' 'Brain... The bear just slashed my arm, I think she is trying to kill us this time.' >'Oh... well fucknuggets.' >A pang of pain forces you to groan, your attention set on the three deep slashes that are now present on your left arm. >With the adrenaline rush falling, you are now very aware that this fucking hurts. >You grit your teeth and bear with it though! "Sweetie, keep an eye on my left, Applebloom, right! Scoot, make sure they don't get in from behind us. I promise, we'll make it through this!" >You don't even look, knowing these girls can handle themselves, at least to an extent. >Buy time. >Someone is bound to notice the large amount of animals and noise and run for help. >All you need is to last until then. >Easier said than done though. >"Mr. Anon! The bear is back!" >That he is, and he is pissed. >Grabbing his crotch, back exposed somewhat and damned if it isn't bloodied and full of feathers. "Get him on his back!" >You grab the rope with your right hand and prepare to tie the fucker the moment you can. "Come on you fuzzy flipper!" >'Censor that shit for the children!' >You rush the bear's right side while the fillies try to trip him. "AHHHHHHHHHHH!"     >The sweat running down your forehead is growing as you rush for Ponyville to get help! >This is so so bad! >When you left you heard a loud tumble and groaning. >Someone is hurt! >You hope it isn't Anon or the fillies... >Oh no no, what have you done Fluttershy? >You need to get help! >Someone who can stop the animals and save Anon. >Ponyville isn't too far now, you can do it!     >Smacking a dog in the jaw with a bat, you look around once he steps back. >Scootaloo is swatting birds and rats with her board. >Applebloom is defending Mr. Anon. >Mr. Anon is still trying to get the bear on his back. >The dog you were smacking lunges forward, getting behind you. "Ahhahhh! >Instinct takes over and you bring your bat down on his head. >The doggy cries out and rushes away. >Before you go to help Scootaloo, a loud *thunk* draws your attention. >"Gotcha!" >Mr. Anon is tying the bears arms and legs together. >The moment he is done, he proceeds to hit the hogtied bear many times on the head with his chains. >You don't know how long you have been at this, but you are getting tired and feel drained.     >This fucking bear is finally unconscious! >Once the room is a little clearer, you rush to the door and slam it. >You reach for your dresser once the door is shut. >A quick pull has it slammed in front of the doorway. >The recoil has you yelp in pain from your lacerations. >No time for that now though, you need to get the kids safe. "Bathroom!" >You clear the room of the remaining animals before joining the three fillies in your bathroom. >Slam the metal door up before shutting the regular one and locking it. >Praying that the other animals can't break down the door or break the bear free, you pant and lean against the wall. >Many small bangs and thuds hitting the bedroom door. >You look to the three fillies who are in turn looking at you. >They are crying... >Looking to the floor, you try to open your mouth to speak but are interrupted. >Applebloom wipes her tears. >"Mr. Anon... yer hurt." >You look up, the girls are crying because you are hurt, not because they are traumatized. >This little realization has you chuckle and groan. "I'll be fine... just, grab me that clear stuff in the bottle. It's on top of my sink." >Scootaloo nods and grabs the bottle, handing it to you. >Taking a deep breath, you steel yourself. >One... two... "NGGGHHAAAA!" >They yelp as you splash as much alcohol onto the wound as you can. >As the stinging settles, you grab a towel and rip it into pieces you can use to bandage yourself. >Chuckling and cringing the entire time 'F-funny how the alcohe-hehehe-hel hurts w-woooorse than the slashes.' >'That is pretty funny. Not being in pain at all would be even funnier though!' >You smile and take a deep breathe, trying to stop from laughing anymore. >The three fillies bury their heads into your arms and chest. >You just hug them, petting them down their manes. "I am sorry... I... I am sorry you all got involved. I should have sent you to Ponyville sooner." >They don't respond, eyes shut. >With a bit of safety established, you decide to just calm down, letting them rest... >You're tired ... so tired...     >Anon passed out... >He's hurt. >Dammit... how did this all start? >You can see Anon dreaming about his first day here. >He was scared, worried, wondering where he was and what had happened. >Second day was better, he was brought to Canterlot after being found by AJ... she wasn't even mad he pilfered a couple of apples that day. >The whole next couple of weeks were talks, questions, some brief experiments to see how humans reacted to whatever shit they wanted. >When Anon got out, he went to Ponyville. >It was nice there, quaint. >He stayed there for a bit, tried to socialize. >Nope, didn't work out. >Aside from most of the elements of harmony and a few kinky pones, he was shut out. >Not many offers to be friends; Lyra's, AJ's, Pinkie's, Twilight's, Derpy's... and last, Fluttershy's >Neither of you had any idea how obsessed she would get with him then. >He tried hanging out with his supposed friends, but they were always busy... except Fluttershy >She was like the rest, scared. >The only reason she offered was because Twi and Pinkie pressured her. >She changed though, she wanted to be his friend later. >She would invite him to her cottage, the two of them would try to make small talk. >Always ended awkwardly, but she would always smile at the end anyway. >Then one day it all changed... she was very forward and asked Anon if having a mare's tongue run over his body was his fetish. >That changed their friendship, eventually broke it. >He explained to her he was not interested but she kept persisting! >Next came secretary's, swimsuits, public use, dry sex. >The list goes on! >She got tired of guessing and tried to force it. >You sensed it before it happened, that's probably the only reason she failed. >A quick warning to Anon that she was going to try and tie him down was all you could get out. >One moment... you saved him by a mere moment of action. >Anon dodged her, she made it clear that they were going to do the dirty deed. >She failed then and has failed almost a hundred times more following! >He tried pleading for help, the mayor, the law, her friends... no one believed him. >They thought he was lying, they didn't even give him a reason as to why he would! >You and Anon were alone... soon afterward he started to build a little hidey shack where his house would one day be. >When Anon realized just how big it was and how safe he had made it, he left. >He just told them he was moving. >Only Derpy and Lyra tried to stop him. >Derpy was a sweet girl and they might have been better friends if she had the time to spend with him. >Lyra... he doesn't hate her but... >After he moved, he didn't see much of anyone. >When he went to shop yeah, but those trips didn't take long. >Fluttershy kept trying to force herself on him. >But unlucky for her you were there to warn him every time. >You helped Anon out of every situation, no matter how dark it looked. >He is you and you are him. >You don't know how you two maintain this near separate state of being. >But it works. >You do the thinking, he takes the actions necessary. >That is why she will always fail. >Anon's dream is ending. >He just hugged Fluttershy before leaving her cottage. >... Damn fool misses her.     >After a quick choke and snort, you feel your eyes shoot open. >You fell asleep... the banging is still continuing >Looking down you see three pretty fillies on your lap, still sound asleep. >A cough catches itself in your throat as you look up. "What time is it?" >*KSSSH! KSSSH!* >Your body jumps and the fillies wake up. >"W-what was that?" >Dread in their voices. >You grab them and push them into the tub. >Grabbing your chains, you get ready for whatever the fuck that was. 'I'm NOT letting anything hurt these kids!' >'Fuck yeah you won't!' >*KSSSH* >Chains at the ready, you cringe, prepared for the worst. >*KSSSH!* >No! >You can't be afraid! >Not now. >*KSSSSHAAAA!* >Your door goes flying off and you ready your chains to smack the first thing you see >"Are you all okay in here?!" >'Whoa- stop! Full stop!' >You stop, letting go of the chains. >They hit the floor as you listen to your brain. >A familiar face greets you. "Lyra?!" >Lyra, another obsessed fan. >She was a sweet girl, but very, VERY, persistent. >You almost gave into her advances a couple times. >'Lucky I stopped you, huh?' >"Anon!" >She jumps at you and hugs you, burying her head in your chest. >You are dumbfounded and then look up. >In your room are more of your -fans- and some of the more open minded ponies >'Vinyl, Octavia, Cheerilee, Thunderlane... is that Snowflake?' >God, Celestia, whatever... yo-you're safe. >The girls are safe >You smile and see the three fillies hop out and join the hug     >You are so ashamed of yourself right now. >Anon's house is ruined... he is hurt... you hurt three poor innocent fillies... and you started it all because you wanted someone who didn't want you back. >The amount of tears you shed are creating a small puddle underneath you. >Your tear puddle reflects the now rising sun. >Anon steps out of his house a small blanket wrapped over him. >He is looking at you, anger in his eyes. >With such malice you could feel his hatred in an actual physical form... and you deserve it all. >He steps towards you, you shrink and cry some more.     '... Fucking Fluttershy.' >'You know she doesn't deserve it...' 'Maybe, but still.' >A quick lift has you raise your good hand more aggressively than you intended. >She yelps and shakes, not trying to defend herself. >You sigh and pet her head. "Thank you..." >She looks up at you, in shock. >"H-huh?" >She hiccups and her tears slow down. "Lyra told me what happened... now, I still don't fucking believe it. I still think you wanted me dead." >She looks down, crying again, trying to whimper something out. "But because you got help; Sweetie Belle, Applebloom, and Scootaloo get to go home today... maybe you snapped and sicked the animals to kill me, or maybe it was an accident." >You turn around and walk to the carriage they have ready to take you to the hospital. "I don't know, but I'll figure it out. Until then, no matter why you got help... thanks." >'You are a fucking pushover Anon.' 'She was sort of a friend at one point brain... if the story she told Lyra and the others is legit, maybe she can be again. If not, she'll suffer for putting those kids and us through that.' >'Yeah... So, You notice the mares checking you out?' 'Not now brain... later... maybe... but not now.' >You step into the carriage and let out a sigh. >As soon as you sit down, three little fillies hop onto your lap. >Their uncut and semi-clean bodies causes you to smile and pet them. >Still tired, you lay back and enjoy the ride.     >Day why is my neck so sore in Equestria. >You zoned out...  for a while from the looks of it. >You are in a hospital bed a little too small for you. >Several cards and flowers surrounding you. >Your mouth is dry, arm is bandaged and stiff. >And there is a nurse smiling at you. >"Finally awake I see Mr...?" "Anon... gah, how long was I out?" >She smiles and passes you a cup of water. >"I'd say about a day and a half. They say you fell asleep on the carriage ride here. You didn't wake up until now." >You drink the water, taking your time with each sip. "The fillies I was with?" >"Home. They were cleaned and treated for bruises. They only had minor injuries and could have left without treatment. They did stay a while afterward to check on you though." >You lay your head back, sighing. "The flowers? Cards?" >"From your visitors, you seem to be quite the popular young man Mr. Anon." >She chuckles and winks at you. >You smile back and sigh, your body relaxing. >'Hear that? We're popular. All it took was foal sitting, fending off an animal army, getting mauled by a bear, and pancakes... now why didn't we think of that in the first place?' '... Because we're stupid.' >'Oh yeah, forgot.' "Who happened to visit me?" >"Lots of ponies; the apple family, the elements, some friends of yours, even a few random ponies who just wanted to say thank you for saving those fillies." >'Weird that they would thank an unconscious body.' >As everything begins to settle into your mind, a question poses itself. "Do... does anyone know why they animal attacked?" >The nurses expression turns low and with a hint of sadness. >"Yes... Fluttershy confessed to the whole thing. What she had planned, her regret, how the animals turned violent, all of it" "..." >'Think she is lying? I mean, she is obsessed with us' 'Or was...' "What happened to her?" >The nurse shakes her head >"All of her animals that were found at your house as well as her cottage were put down, save for the rabbit who was with her when she got into town.  She is required to see a therapist... and she isn't allowed within a hundred feet of you as soon as you sign this document." >The nurse pulls out a clipboard with a legal document attached to it. >A quick scan is all you give it before placing it down. "Am I required too?" >"No, not if you don't want to." "I see... then I guess I won't. For now anyways." >The nurse gives a small smile and nods. >She offers a hoof and chuckles. >"Where are my manners? I am Nurse Redheart." "Nice to meet you ma'am." >You shake her hoof and hear a weird noise, almost like a cart barreling down a street >"Seems you have guests." >The moment Nurse Redheart says that, three little joy filled fillies rush into the room and pounce you. >They're mumbling into your shirt and smiling. >With a bit of a struggle, you pet their heads and smile, noticing another group behind them. "Hey everybody." >You are met with soft smiles from Rarity, Applejack, Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Spike, Lyra, Vinyl, and again Snowflake. >"Anonymous... are you okay? The doctors said you would be just fine, but you looked so dreadful when we saw you, I ju-" >AJ shoves her hoof into Rarity's side and chuckles. >"What she's tryin ta say is; thank you... fer foal sittin' 'n keepin' the littlins safe" >AJ comes straight up to you and pecks your forehead. "Heh... so how was the meeting?" >'You know how it was Anon, there was no meeting.' >Twilight sighs and her gaze meets your own. >"There was no meeting" >'Oh! Oh! I hope some one is going to answer that, because I fucking called it!' >"It was all a part of Fluttershy's plan. We arrived in Canterlot, tried to speak with the princess... and were rejected for a good half an hour before Celestia showed up to clarify everything." "I see, well...' >You smile and pet the three fillies heads again "I hate to say it, but I am glad things turned out the way they did." >The room is filled with as many -are you fucking nuts- looks as possible given that three of the faces in the room are buried into your chest. "Think about it. How many times did I tell you this was happening? How many pony's loathed me for simply existing? How many of you would actually talk to me without the need to?" >You look into each of their eyes, as serious as possible. "It was a horrible night, I was in a lot of pain, but at least now I don't feel... well, shit tier" >A quick shake of your head followed by a breath and you continue. "I mean, I hope things change from here on out. I hope Fluttershy can get the help she needs and we can actually be friends again. I hope I won't be seen as an outsider, but even if I am not..." >As you cast your gaze down, three precious girls are smiling up at you. "I at least made some friends." >'Finally! Sorry, I know this is an emotional moment for you... but I am just being me, which is you, who is us!' >Your brain's stupid comment causes you to chuckle then groan. "Gah! Tender!" >You grip your arm and seethe once, before smiling and laying back down "I think I need a little more rest guys... see you all later? >The little group of visitors soon dissipates, save for one dorky purple element of magic and three fillies. >Twilight is the first to speak >"I think I speak for all of Ponyville when I say how-" "Sorry you are? Forget about it." >'You just wanted to be the one who interrupted someone for once, didn't you?' >She shakes her head, eyes filled with sorrow. >"No! We can't just forget about it! We treated you cruelly, even if it was a simple act of just ignoring you or a discriminatory act against you... All of us, we all need to make it up to you!" >Your eyes meet Twilight's and you smile softly at her "Well... not everyone." >The three fillies hop down, letting you sigh while stretching your good arm. "Lyra, AJ, Rarity, yourself, and a few others weren't entirely cruel. So, you know, not EVERYONE was involved, so maybe not everyone should feel the need to make it up to me. Maybe not everyone should just accept my hand to their hoof of friendship? You know... maybe I can just forgive the past and look forward?" >'Your sarcasm is getting annoying. Oh hell, who am I kidding? You've earned it. Just remember that's my shtick!' >Twilight looks down and chuckles. >"Point taken... if you ever want to stop by the library, maybe we can talk? Hang out and discuss human culture again?" >She is such a dork... but you'd like that. "Yeah, as soon as I get out of here. It's a date then?" >The little purple mare is the darkest shade of purple you have ever seen right now. >"Y-yeah, it's a date." >You say your goodbyes and are now left with three guests who have been waiting patiently to talk to you. "Hey girls" >The fillies are hopping with joy >"Mr. Anon? We were wonderin'... heh-heh heh!" >Applebloom is caught in a giggle fit. >Sweetie Belle is trotting in place and squeeing so loud right now. >Looks like it's up to Scootaloo to step up to the plate. >"We were wondering... if you wanted to be a Cutie Mark Crusader! (™)" "A what now?” >You cock your head and listen. >The three fillies pull out a large cape with a strange insignia on it of a small pony wearing a cape on a shield. "What's a Cutie Mark Crusader?" >'This is gonna be good.' >"Well, you notice how all the bigger ponies have marks on their flanks?" >Now that you think about it, yeah, they do. >But these three don't. "Hey, yeah. Why is that?" >Sweetie Belle calms herself and tries to act as eloquent as possible while explaining this to you. >"When a filly finds the one thing she does best out of everything in the world, she gets a mark on her flank that lets everypony know what it is!" >'An ID on your butt? Convenient, very privacy invading though. Probably wouldn't go too well on Earth.' >Applebloom hops back on your lap and finishes off this little lecture >"See, we haven't found ours yet 'n we are tryin' real hard ta get em! So we made a club all about gettin' yer cutie mark!" "...And you want me to join?" >The fillies nod excitedly "But I can't get a cutie mark, I'm a human." >"We know, which makes ya a perfect crusader! Even if ya can't get one, it still says yer tryin' yer best to find yer one special talent!" "... Hmm, I'll have to think about it." >Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle grab the cape and unfold some corners, turning it into a blanket. >The marshmallowy Unicorn starts to speak. >"Please! You get this cool cape, that can double as a blanket! And it will mean we're friends for life, and you can do all the awesome things we do, and-" "Whoa, whoa, okay! Heh, you convinced me... I'd like to be a crusader." >You smile and the three fillies jump, tossing your cape on you to use as a blanket. >Applebloom has to dig herself out from underneath the cape/blanket, but doesn't lose her smile. >The yellow mares grin causes you to chuckle, then stop once you remember last night. "Girls... did... what happen last night bother you?" >They look at you a bit confused and shake their heads. >"Nah, that kinda stuff happens all the time ta us. Like gettin' kidnapped by changelings, fightin' a chaos spirit, creatin' love po-" "Okay, heh, I forgot about all the strange stuff that happens here... Well, I'm glad you are all okay." >You reach down and softly scratch each of their ears >A few more minutes of talking and they leave so you can rest. >Cuddling up in your new blanket, you sigh and let your body loose. >'... We just learned about a thing we see every day from a bunch of kids, am I the only one feeling a bit depressed by this fact?' 'Brain, shut up. Besides... it's a start.' >You start drift back to sleep. >The many cards and flowers around you glazed with the suns rays.     >Day approximately 6 months later in Equestria >You are Anon. >And you are happy. >The CMC are playing in a field as you and your new group of friends enjoy the day. >Snowflake, who always viewed you as a rival in the muscle department, is racing Dash around the field. >Fluttershy is seated a foot away from you. >She still feels she doesn't deserve to be around you yet. >She is quite beautiful, you can see that now that she no long has an unhealthy obsession with you. >After she stopped her required therapy you two started to mend your once broken friendship. >Except... it's different, you think you're falling for her. >'Dude! She nearly raped you/got you killed!' 'I can make my own decisions on when to forgive. Besides... things have been different lately.' >Continuing. >Twilight and Rarity are seated across from you, talking about human fashion and history with you. >AJ is resting her head on your lap as you run your hand down her mane. >Lyra is cuddling up on your free lap space. >Octavia and Vinyl are arguing over -passion vs history- regarding music. >'You know, I am trying really hard to keep quiet so you can enjoy this moment. Failing, but trying. A moment you haven't had for years. A moment I will make sure you remembers no matter what.' >A moment you wouldn't trade for the world. >That's how your life has felt lately, sure you still have those moments of crazy and of strange excitement. >Some where you need to fight and even ones where you are bored. >But then again, life would be pretty stale without them. >Maybe one day you will tell those moments too... but for now, you have this one. >Fluttershy yawns, stretching her body. >She is showing of her nice plump plot. 'Damn she has a nice ass.' >'Okay, now it's a moment where... I can't believe you are thinking this Anon, but... nope, not saying it.' >Heh, you want to be. >Fucking Fluttershy.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For those of you who have just started reading A&B, I write it in a strange way, where instead of going from chapter 1 to chapter 2, you go from chapter 1 to prequel 1 then chapter 2. This may seem strange and down right idiotic, but it is how I am choosing to tell the story. You are not forced to read them, but if you choose to skip the prequels you will miss out on a lot of context. I hope you enjoy the rest of the story and that I can continue to provide a story worth telling. Thank you for your time and stay classy.   Prequel 1: Day one http://pastebin.com/LBFtvGXb
