>Anon sighs >"I believe you, Thing. Every last word." >He pets your head >"But I have no idea, except just keep on doing what you're doing." >You sigh "Maybe I ought to just offer myself up to Twi and her posse?" >"I think they've mostly forgiven the crime. Sort of. I mean, they forgave discord, even after mindraping them and throwing Equestria into chaos. Even if they're a little cross with him even now. But he keeps being a dick. You're a kind pony, when you're not being possessive. That's what I believe." >You lay your head on Anon's lap "I..I try. I really do." >Another moment of silence >"Although...hey, I think I might know of some people you might like to befriend." >You look up at him "I see one right here" >He laughs >"I'll be your friend again, thing, just...please don't hurt anypony." "I won't, I won't. And if my conscious mind goes haywire and I do anything suspicious..." >You gulp "Th-the-then..." >Your heart is going a hundred miles an hour >You touch your collar >He squeezes you tight >"Only as a last resort. And even then, I'd probably rather let you eat me than do that. Twilight, however, would have no problems pulling the trigger." >He chuckles >"Guess I'm just a sentimental fool with a vore fetish." >You crack up "you're pretty brave and crazy, you know that?" >"Eyup" "Heh. Anywho, you were saying?" >"Right. Yes, there's one other human, and a human transformed into a pony. I think you might be able to befriend them." "Ooh. I'd like that. Of course, I'd also like to win back Ponyville's trust. I feel naked without it." >"You're naked at this very moment, you silly pony." >You laugh >A real, hearty laugh "That's true, I'll give you that. Oh yeah, I'll give you that" >You wiggle a suggestive eyebrow >Anon chuckles >"I sure do. Now c'mon, I told Twilight about the situation, and she decided maybe we could befriend the two other humans. Well, other human and human-turned-pony, so she would send 'em over to our house soon enough." "I-I'm surprised she'd care enough to do that." >"She's not heartless, Thing. In fact, she's got a pretty big one. Hence why she got just the tiniest tad upset." >The two of you start heading home "I..yeah, I guess I get that. I'd be pretty fucking mad if someone tried to take you away from me forever. Or eat you before I could" >You giggle >He gets the joke >"Heh. I figured as much. For now though, keep in mind - ponies are friends, not food." >You huff "I know that." >"Sorry, just figured it'd be prudent to repeat that so you don't go up in flames." "That's pretty dark" >"Yep. Although, hey, if Equestria does get one of its usual problems with some sort of fucked up entity, you know, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombrero, anything like that...I think you have permission to eat them." >A voice sounds from your collar >Twilight's >"If necessary, Anonymous. If absolutely necessary. We're not savages. Twilight out." "...Huh. Well would you look at that" >"Just me that's getting a 'big sister is watching you' sort of vibe?" >A literary reference >How quaint "Hey, you're not the one with the eye of Sauron hanging around your neck." >You get back home and snuggle up on the couch >"Hey, I wonder what the neighbors are like." >Anon shrugs >"Kind of like me, I guess." >You perk up "Oh boy! More of you? Holy shit, Anon! I love you!" >You're bouncing up and down >He keks so hard he can hardly breathe >"Thing, seriously though, don't get all possessive with them too, okay?" "I won't! I won't! I just like humans, is all! Or at least judging by the ones I've met that haven't tried to kill me. I.e., You!" >He touches a hand to your cheek >"I'm sorry you haven't been treated well, Thing." >You briefly stop bouncing >Flash back to the shit that happened in antarctica >Seems like it was yesterday >You managed to make a portal >No time to punch in coordinates, though >So you went at random >That's how you ended up in Equestria >You'll admit, though, that you were kind of an idiot back then too >Tch >But done's done, you guess >Even if it feels bad >Spilt milk and whatnot >You lay down on Anon's lap and bury your face in his chest >After a little while, there's a knock on the door >Anon goes to answer the door >You grudgingly hop out of the comfy-ass couch and trot along over to the door >Anon's opened it >There, you see another handsome human man, as well as a pegasus pony in various shades of purple, with a neckerchief. >Apparently, she was a human male transformed by Twilight into a pony >They introduce themselves >The tall one is David >The other is Sebastian - or, when a pony - Clover >Anon explains who and what you are in excruciating detail >After inviting them in, of course >They seem to know the general gist of it from before though >You can't help but wince and shrink away >God, you sound like a monster >You try to keep yourself from crying >It's not working
