My Time in Equestria

I flew above Ponyville, still enjoying myself in the cobalt sky and never wanting the glorious moment to end. Eventually though, I remembered that I actually had somewhere to be so I went in search for Sugarcube Corner. It wasn't that difficult to find considering I knew the general area it was in and I had a bird's eye view.

I found it and flew down toward the bakery. I found landing as easy as it had been the last time, which was very good news. Now I won't have to worry about hurting myself when I land. I stood outside the building and waited lazily as I leaned against the wall. I looked around a bit and found a clock. It was still ten minutes until three. And of course, I'm easily bored so waiting for ten minutes wasn't going to work out in the slightest.

I started walking around town a bit and getting to know my way around better. I don't know why I thought that would help, though. I'm not very good at directions, so I basically just walked around for ten minutes for no reason. At least visiting the town of my dreams was checked off of my newly made bucket list of pony activities. I made my way back to Sugarcube Corner and noticed that Blaze was still nowhere to be found.

Ugh. Come on.

After a few more minutes of uneventful waiting, I was about to go walking again when I saw him coming around the corner. I waved him over and he trotted over to me.

"So, uh. Is there any reason why you wanted to suddenly meet up?" He asked with the same slightly nervous tone as before.

"Not really. I knew I would have nothing to do today and wanted to hang out with somepony." I lied. I knew there was something about Blaze since our conversation at the party. I wanted to figure it out. "Come on, let's go and get something to eat and we'll talk." We walked into Sugarcube Corner and were greeted by Pinkie Pie almost.

"Hi White Flash! Didn't you just love love LOVE your party? I sure hope so! I know I did! It was so fun! It was even a surprise to me and I planned it!" Pinkie giggled happily.

"Yeah, it was really fun." I said.

"Ooh! Who's your friend? I've never seen him before! You know what this means? A part-"

"Um, no. No parties for me, please." Blaze interrupted.

Pinkie's mane suddenly deflated and her face wore a look of disappointment. "But why not?"

"Um, I just don't want a party please. I don't really like a lot of attention." Blaze said, as if trying to save himself from disaster.

Pinkie's mane inflated back to its normal plush self and her disappointing frown instantly grew into a bright smile. "Okie Dokie Lokie!" She smiled again and zoomed behind the front counter. "You know, I bet you and Fluttershy would be best friends! You're just alike!"

"Um, yeah." Blaze barely whispered under his breath.

"So what can I get for you two?" Pinkie asked.

"We'll just have a bag of cupcakes." I said. Blaze shuddered at the word 'cupcakes', but I thought nothing of it.

Pinkie pulled out a sack of cupcakes. "Two bits please!"

Crap. I forgot I have no money.

"Um, Pinkie, I forgot my money, could I-"

"Here! If I can't throw your friend a super special welcoming party then I'll give him a free bag of cupcakes!" She said with another bright smile.

"Thanks, Pinkie." I said, returning the smile. Well that was lucky.

"No problem!" She said as she gave me the cupcakes. Blaze and I walked out the door and found a place to sit down outside. I sat down the bag of cupcakes and took one out.

"So, where did you come from?" I asked Blaze.

His eyes got wide. "W-what do you mean?"

"I mean like where did you live before you moved to Ponyville." I said. That was a strange reaction.

He turned calm again. "Oh, I'm from Fillydelphia." He said.

"Is it nice living there?" I asked.

"Um, yeah. It's not very clean though." Was all he had to add.

I looked him over, still trying to find out what he was hiding. He looked a little nervous and then I noticed something.

"You don't have your cutie mark?" I asked.

"Well, um, no. But neither do you." He said quickly.

"What do you think your talent is?" I asked.

"I don't know. I guess I'll find out when I get my cutie mark."

I finished my cupcake and noticed that Blaze hadn't even touched one.

"Don't you like cupcakes?" I asked.

"No. They give me the creeps."

"Cupcakes do?"

"Yeah. I can't really tell you why."

"And why not?"

"Because you wouldn't understand." He said, getting a little angry.

How could he hate cupcakes? I asked myself. Then I thought about it. ...Cupcakes...

"Hey Blaze, you want to see the house I'm thinking about buying?" I asked.

"Uh, sure." He said, and we made the journey over to the empty house near Sugarcube Corner, and just as I hoped, the door was closed.

"Mind opening the door for me?" I asked with a slightly smug look on my face. If this doesn't confirm my suspicions, nothing will.

"Um, no problem." Blaze said, and walked up to the large wooden door. He struggled with the doorknob for a while until he finally had to grab it with both hooves to get it open. Just what I thought would happen.

"It took you a while to open that door." I said in a nonchalant tone.

"Yeah. I'm not completely used to being a pony yet." Bingo.

"You're not a pony, are you?" I asked.

Blaze stopped in his tracks and his eyes grew wider than before. "U-uh what are...what are you talking about?" He asked.

"Does the word 'brony' have any meaning to you?"

"W-what?"

"You're a human. And you're a brony. Am I right?" That broke him.

He stopped being so nervous and sighed. "I'm terrible at keeping secrets."

"Yes you are."

"How do you even know about humans?" Blaze asked as we walked through Ponyville.

"Well, I'm a human too." I said.

"Really? I thought it was just me and Spark." He said.

"There's another one?" I asked.

"Yeah. He's the guy I'm staying with. He's a little moody at times but he's a good guy once you get to know him."

"He has his own house?" I asked.

"Well..." Blaze's sentence trailed off as we stopped walking and ended up at a cheap looking dilapidated wooden house.

"Is this..?"

"Yep." Blaze said. We walked up to the door. "Now, don't come off as hostile in any way whatsoever." Blaze warned.

That's a good note to start on.

"COME BACK HERE YOU LITTLE SHIT!!!" I heard shouting from inside the house.

"Sounds like he's in a good mood." Blaze said. He opened the door and immediately a small rabbit quickly hopped out of the house and down the road toward the forest. A moment later, a yellow unicorn with a short brown mane fell to the ground in the doorway. He looked at Blaze and hopped up.

"BLAZE, WHAT THE FUCK! I ALMOST HAD IT!" He yelled, his nostrils flaring with rage.

"And hello to you too." Blaze said with a slight smile.

The yellow unicorn sighed. "I guess I'll have to find another one, then. Fucking asshole."

"Why do you even need a rabbit?" Blaze asked.

"I was going to conduct cruel and inhumane experiments on it and possibly ruin it without it ever having the pleasure to die!" The unicorn said matter-of-factly.

We all sat there for a few moments in silence.

"It'll help me hone my magic better in one way or another." He quickly turned to me. "Who's this joker?" He asked.

"Um, Spark, meet White Flash." Blaze said.

"Whoa! Look at you! A two syllable name! Your pony name is longer than mine, therefore it must be better! Whoopty fuckin' doo!" Spark said.

"How did you know he was a human?" Blaze asked.

"Just look at him! You never see ponies like him on the show. He's obviously human." Spark said. He smirked and held out a hoof. "Welcome to the club, faggot." I reluctantly shook his hoof.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?

"So let me guess: Shitty life, you hate it all, but a couple days ago you imagine Celestia telling you it'll be okay, you end up here, blah blah blah, yadda yadda, colorful ponies 'n shit."

"Um, yeah. How did you know?" I asked.

"It's the same story for me and Blaze. You can't move in here by the way. It's crowded as fuck with just the two of us." Spark said.

"Don't worry. I'm living with Rainbow Dash." I said.

Spark whistled. "Rainbow Dash, huh? Not bad."

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.

"Nothing, I'm just saying you're pretty damn lucky that you're living with Rainbow Dash. Don't get all defensive, holy shit." Spark said.

"I wasn't getting defensive I was just-"

"Okay! Let's go inside!" Blaze said, ending the argument. We walked into the wooden house. It looked like it was barely holding together.

"Hey, I put it together with my shitty magic, it's not the best but it's something." Spark said, probably seeing the look on my face. There were two sets of stairs on the left and right leading up to a platform with two beds, and on the first floor was a table, chairs, and a small cabinet with food.

Spark walked over to the cabinet and grabbed what looked like a snack to eat.

"So, how'd you find out Blaze was a human? Did he fuck up like I thought he would?" Spark asked, putting the snack in his mouth.

"Well, I had a suspicion when he freaked out because I was eating cupcakes and he said cupcakes gave him the creeps." I said.

Spark spit out what he was chewing with laughter. "Seriously, dude? That fic is for pussies. You should see some of the shit I've read. I've had breakdowns before because of them. I've had breakdowns."

"Yeah, well sorry I'm not as 'tough' as you are." Blaze said with a small pout.

"Damn right you are." Spark said, and continued to eat.

"Why do you have to curse every sentence?" I asked.

"Because fuck you that's why!" Spark said.

"He's from New Jersey." Blaze said, as if that was enough of an explanation.

"Well that explains it." I said a little sarcastically.

"So what have you done to make your meaningless life better in the past few days?" Spark asked me.

"Well I made friends with the mane six and I live with Rainbow Dash. I'd say I've done quite a bit." I said.

"You're friends with all of them? Damn. We can't even seem to find one." Spark said.

"Well we met Pinkie Pie today at Sugarcube Corner." Blaze said.

"Shut the fuck up! I'll see you two later!" Spark said, and almost fell over the chair on his way out the door, probably to Sugarcube Corner.

"Well, he's eager." I said.

"Yeah. He's probably just excited to meet one of them. I have no clue who his favorite is." Blaze said.

"Who's your favorite?" I asked.

"I'd rather not say. I like to keep it a secret." Blaze said.

"Okay then. Well, I should probably get going. It was...nice meeting Spark." I said.

"Don't worry, he'll get better, that's how he was for me." Blaze said, "I'll be here and wait for Spark to make sure he doesn't try to mutilate any more rabbits."

"Sounds like a good idea." I said, and walked out the door. I started walking down the path and thinking about my day.

So there are two other bronies in Equestria. One is a timid earth pony and the other is a loud, vulgar unicorn. This is truly the definition of awesome.
