Ramblings of a Gloomy Pony

So by this point it was pretty obvious that I wasn’t in the same Equestria as the one depicted on the show. At first it was kinda weird but after a while once I got to know them it wasn’t that bad. I’ll talk more about that later though, now at this point we were reaching the soccer field where Dash was playing. I wasn’t to worried about meeting her cause well Dash will always be Dash, even if this one is a bit…...different, but I’d be lying If I said that I wasn’t nervous. Dash is a soccer player, Twilight is a mangaka, I wondered what everyone else would be like. Well I was about to find out.

***

“We’re here!!!!” Pinkie was as enthusiastic as ever as she came to a screeching hault that caused me to shoot forward in the process.

“Ow…..”

I could hear Pinkie giggling behind me

“What in tarnation was that?”

“It sounded like a crash, darling”

Those voices

“Hi Applejack, Hi Rarity!!!!”

The sound of hoofsteps filled the air as Applejack and Rarity made their way over to greet Pinkie. I was still on the ground seeing stars

“Hello Darl….Pinkie dear, who is that?”

Pinkie stopped bouncing around for a quick second and turned to face me, “Oh, thats Gloomy”

Applejack had rushed over to me and had helped me up, “On your hooves partner”

“T thanks”

“Not a problem sugarcube” Applejack playfully hit my back with her hoof which caused me to buckle a little

She’s strong alright. I’d hate to see her hitting at full force…….

“So uhh Gloomy was it? Ma names Applejack it’s a pleasure to meet ya.”

“Oh um likewise”

I could hear someone clearing their throat in the background and well I more or less had an idea as to who it was

“My name is Rarity it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance”

“Yea nice to meet you too.” Just like with Twilight something was different about these two. I couldn’t tell what yet but at the moment I figured I would find out eventually. One thing that stood out though was that their manestyles were different. To be more specific they were styled the same way they were when they were crystal ponies. Applejacks ponytail and well tail were both braided and tied up by green ribbons and in the middle of her hair were three leaves while her bangs were combed to one side in a cute manner. Rarity’s hair had streaks of a lighter shade of purple alongside her regular shade and her hair seemed to be done up in a bun while the back was curled. She also wore these long earrings that were the same color as her cutie mark.

Daaaaaaaaaamn they look good…..did I just say a pony looks good? Eh screw it I’m a pony now its all good. Kinda weird to see Applejack without her hat though….guess this Applejack cares about her appearance

“So uh Gloomy was it? What brings ya to Ponyvillle? Visitin a friend or somethin?”

Hmm I could say I’m settling down here and looking for a job. All the stories I’ve read usually have them starting off at Sweet Apple Acres anyway. Worst comes to worst I can always tell Twilight that I used to be a human and live at her place in exchange for information. Well that is if she believes me. Eh there’s probably some cheating ass truth magic that she could use on me. That would prove my point. She might even be able to help get back home…...

“Na I don’t have any friends in Ponyville. I heard a lot about this place and decided to well drop by and check it out”

“Hmmm” I could tell by the look on her face that Applejack was analyzing my words trying to determine if they were the truth or not. I wasn’t lying to her, I just wasn’t telling her everything.

“Well uh whaddya think so far?”

“It’s nice and quiet, I really like out here. Kinda wanna settle down here. Need a job first though”

Rarity finally decided to pipe in at this point, “Perhaps I could be of some assistance then”

Well that came out of left field

“How so?”

“After I finish making clothes for whatever client I have at the time I usually deliver them myself. I must say though spending all day on a musty boring train can become quite tiresome and the time wasted on those deliveries could be spent on other endeavors.. So as of late I have been looking into hiring a delivery mare to for my business. I don’t suppose you’re interested?

So basically she needs me to be a delivery boy?  Well it beats whoring myself out to Twilight. I am probably gonna have to tell her at some point though.

“Well if you’re looking to hire I won’t turn you down. I do doubt that you’ll need things delivered everyday though. Not to mention that I need a place to stay in the meantime.”

“I have a spare bedroom in the back of my boutique next to the laundry room that you could use. Sweetie and her friends used to use it for sleepovers but as of late they’ve been holding them at my parents so I doubt they have anymore use for it. And you are correct as well, I won’t have work for you everyday and I cannot pay you for those days but I do suppose you could find a second job to attend to.”

It ain’t much but fuck, don’t wanna look a gift horse in the mouth. Oh great now I’m doing the stupid ass horse puns too.

I quickly shook that thought away and returned to the conversation at hoof, “Yea thanks I really appreciate it.”

Rarity just gave me a warm smile and nodded. Now it was Applejacks turn to get her two cents in.

“Well partner if you need a second job we could alwa…”

“APPLEJACK, RARITY, PINKIE!!”

Or so I thought.

I’d recognize that raspy voice anywhere

Lo and behold I could see Rainbow Dash off in the distance charging her way over here with a smile on her face

“Dashie!!!”  Pinkie bolted and collided with dash midway embracing her in hug

Holy shit I forgot she was here…….

“Come along then dear, I’m sure you’ll want to meet Rainbow Dash after all she is a delivery mare as well.”

As well? Does she think I’m a girl or something, must be the tai…..wait RD is a delivery mare? Isn’t she supposed to weather patrol or something? If she’s a delivery mare then what the fuck does Derpy do?

“Uhh Rarity you do know that I’m a stallion right?”

“Hm? Oh yes I’m aware of that. Although I did find your height and rather stylish tail misleading I was more than able to discern your gender upon hearing your voice.” I could hear Applejack laughing behind me, she probably saw my pretty tail. She’s probably mad jelly at that shit

“That’s a mighty cute tail ya got there Gloomy.”

Mad jelly……..

“Ehh hey look they're coming over here!!!” Pinkie and Rainbow had long since ended their hug and started making their way over

Well at least Rainbow looks the same

As soon as that thought was finished I saw Rainbow Dash take out scrunchie and tie her mane up into a ponytail

Fucking horse god must love proving me wrong

“Hey did you guys see me make the final score!! It was aweeeeesome!!”

“We sure did Rainbow, you done made a fool out of the goalie with that last one”

“Yes darling I must say it was quite a flashy ending, very befitting of you.”

Dash beamed, “I know right!!”

Well she’s as confident as the Rainbow Dash I know

“Oh Dashie this is Gloomy!! He’s new to Ponyville and he’s gonna be Rarity’s deliverymare!!”

A sly smile crept across Dash’s face, “Oh he is huh? Well let me tell you now that I’m the best deliverymare in all of Equestria!! I can deliver every letter in Ponyville in ten seconds flat!!”

She takes pride in her work at least

“That fast huh? Then why not try out for the Wonderbolts?”

Something weird happened at this point. She was confused, they were all confused. Did the Wonderbolts not exist here or something?

“I uh am a Wonderbolt. I work for Wonderbolt Mail and Delivery Service after all”

…...wut

“Oh uh yea thats right I was thinking of that one aerial acrobatics team”

“Oh you mean Luna’s Angels?”

Luna’s Angels? Is this supposed to be a horse pun for the Blue Angels? Cause if it is its a shitty one at best.

“Y yea them. Uh sorry it’s been kind of a long day for me.”

“Well alright anyway I’ll see you around me and the girls are gonna go celebrate.” She gestured at the team standing on the fielding cheering.

Is that...Spitfire? and Fleetfoot, Misty, Surprise? All the female wonderbolts are here...What the fuck is up with this world?.....Spitfire looks pretty sexy out ther... NO stay focused.

“Celestia’s sun is setting perhaps it’s time we turn in as well, come along Gloomy I’ll show you the way back.” Rarity started trotting off and I was about to join her until I felt a hoof on my shoulder

“WAIT HE CAN’T!”

Needless to say Pinkie’s voice caught everyone off guard

“W why not dear?”

“Me, him and Twilight have to go meet up at Sugarcube corner for a cupcake”

“Milkshake” I corrected

“That”

Rarity put her hoof to her chin, “Well when you’re done bring him to Carousel Boutique”

“Okie dokie lokie”

And just like before Pinkie grabbed me and took off in a flash as she made her way to Sugarcube corner
