Don't Worry About Me

From metal to feather

The land below looked as if it was a patch work quilt, many segments that fit side by side with various patterns that clashed yet flowed together as if belonging in their set area. Everything below seem to be slow and smooth moving but in reality at ground level nothing could be focused on as it passed by in a blur. Yellowing grass, wilting flowers, and molting leaves came and went in the cooling climate below as winter was approaching fast but in the sky above the difference couldn't be felt as much. Patches of light gray tinted clouds slowly drifted closer to each other in the light blue sky of late morning.

“... and this is why you should have came with me!” I said above the roar of the engine to a hand held camcorder that I slowly swept around the cockpit. I made sure to capture the sky I flew in and the ground below so all it's beauty could be watched in it's diminished review of the well used recorder.

“Why someone would rather drive a rickety old truck than fly I don’t understand.” I thought in my head as I turned the recorder to my self, encoding into it my curly brown hair, dark brown full beard that was half an inch long, and brown eyes behind black, rectangle frame glasses.

“I want footage too... later asshole.” I winked at the lens and turned off the little machine, placing it in my lap. I put both hands on the stick in front of me and resumed my flight. I checked all the gauges in the cockpit of my Yakovlev Yak-52 to make sure I was in the green. The Yakovlev Yak-52 was a beautiful plane with it's slim body and bold dark blue paint, although my favorite thing about it was it's appearance in the Resident Evil series.

“Snack time.” I said to my self even though I couldn't hear my self over the engine. Even in this slim plane and my large six foot, two-seventy figure I was able to reach the seat behind me with little problem. My olive green flight suit rubbed against the cloth seat smoothly until my reggae colored Mexican hand embroidered belt caught itself on something forcing me to stop. I turned back around and caught sight of something to the right that was still far away.

“It's a... jumbo jet... Canadian. Cool that means I’m close to the land of maple syrup and free health care.” I said out loud once again as I picked up the recorder again to record the incoming air craft but a deafening clap nearly caused me to lose control of my plane. The patches of clouds had clumped together and darkened quickly, I realized now that the clap was thunder. I hit the record button and flew a little lower.

“Now we're about to see the inside of a thunder storm. Probably not the safest thing but... I can't come up with an excuse.” I excitedly said as rain started to wash over heavily on the cockpit making it nearly impossible to see. I would have stayed longer but the winds were getting stronger and there was more lightning so I pulled up above the storm, also seeing the jumbo jet doing the same. I pulled up even higher to catch both the storm and plane in the recording but missing the black swell in the clouds. Suddenly flashing lights and beeping sounds called off in the cockpit. I looked around in confusion at the sudden alarms and the gauges, all the needles spun around in rapid circles. I dropped the camcorder and it dropped to my feet as I grasped the stick but it wouldn't budge. I then grabbed the radio hoping the jet was on the same frequency.

“Mayday, mayday, this is-” a violent gust interrupted me as it shoved my plane up higher. The entire plane shook as I was forced to climb. I quickly reached behind me for the parachute and put it on just as fast. The only thing I could see was the noon sun as if I was going to fly into it until the hatch burst open and I was sucked out the cockpit. I bounced off the tail with a loud crack, either from my back or the fin, and started to spin uncontrollably. I straitened out but upside down and saw my plane start to fall too. Then I looked down to two pending disasters. The jumbo jet was a lot closer then before and so was the storm. I heard the roar of a giant engine, the clap of thunder, and the flash of lightning as I fell. The nose of the jumbo jet passed underneath until the engine was feet away as I leveled out with it and the top storm nearly touched me. I squeezed my eyes shut, I didn't want to see the inside of the engine or lightning striking me. I heard the roar of a giant engine, the clap of thunder, and the flash of lightning.

“And my last thought shall be... uhhh what?” I opened my eyes as my voice died off in my head. The only thing I heard was the whistling of the wind and I saw only clear blue sky. I didn't know what happened but I had another problem, I was still falling to my death.

“Just like the emergency hand book said!” my head voice came back to me so I spread out my limbs and twisted to flip over finally. I couldn't see much now as the wind stung my eyes but I saw a ring of clouds. I couldn't take it anymore so I pulled the cord to the parachute but it snapped. I reached for the emergency cord a pulled and was suddenly jerked up as the parachute deployed... but ripped off my back.

“I'm boned.” this would probably be the last time I heard my voice in my head unless I started praying which I most likely would have if it wasn't for the cheering. I opened my eyes as I fell in the middle of the clouds and saw a blur of bright colors and heard the cheering turn to gasps. My only guess would be is that I went insane with fear and now I am hearing and seeing things. Until my insanity grabbed me under my arms and vastly slowed down my falling.

“Wow you're heavy!” a female voice came from above me as two toned orange hair bounced into my sight for a moment. We started to slow down more but then there was a ripping sound.

“Damn it Macklemore!” I said as there was more ripping sounds as my flight suit started to fall apart until it finally tore off from the waist up and I slipped out the hold of my savior. Whatever grabbed me was flung back from the sudden change of weight and left grasping the other half of my flight suit as a rainbow sped past. I picked up speed again and the ground was closing in fast.

Meanwhile elsewhere below

The rust colored leaves swayed in the cool breeze as winter encroached on the town of Ponyville. The residents of Ponyville stocked fire wood, warm clothing, and hot cider. Most of the populous stayed indoors or traveled quickly from place to place. Everypony was staying inside... mostly.

The sands of the cold beach rested alone as the waves gently washed onto it. A cool breeze drifted softly along the packed sand and a trail of impressions heading to the water. A group of close friends went to spend the day at the beach, even in the cold weather. With the power of magic, a sizable area of sand, air, and water was warmed to the temperature of a mid summer day so it would be comfortable. In the water swam a lone purple, green spiked dragon as five mares, ranging on various colors of the spectrum, laid on the beach.

“Spike, be careful!” the lavender unicorn called out and was answered with a thumbs up by the purple dragon as a pink blur splashed next to him, dumping a fountain of water on him.

“Darling, how did you ever manage to do this?” a Titanium white unicorn asked to the side of her.

“It was a simple heat spell over a large area. It's very easy but uses a lot of energy.” the caster of the spell replied happily with a warm smile.

“When does the race end? I thought that Ra-” a butter cream yellow Pegasus had started to speak but was suddenly interrupted by a loud call.

“INCOMING!!” a rainbow blur came barreling through the air with something large underneath. They were flying low and fast, unable to fix their current situation they would crash land. Then suddenly whatever the rainbow streak was carrying slipped from it's grasp while still over land. The heavy object slammed into the ground but didn’t stop as it launched forward as if it was skipped on the surface of water. It kept bouncing forward with loud thuds as it headed strait for the beach. The lavender unicorn turned quickly to the water.

“Spike! Pinkie! Duck!” she called out and the two in the water turned in time to see something large strike the water.

“But that’s not a duck.” the pale pink mare said right before the young dragon pulled her under the water as the object slapped the spot they just were and continued to skip over the water surface. The two popped back up above the water and looked around. The water was still and nothing was to be seen.

“Where'd it go?” the mare in the water asked.

Later on

When I came to I realized I was on something soft yet firm, there was distorted talking around me, and I was moving. I slowly opened my eyes but everything was out of focus. Slowly my vision corrected itself and I could see clearly. What I saw first was confusing but my brain wasn't fully functioning at the moment. There was a blond mane, brown coat mare to my left and a blue mane, green coat stallion to my right. None of this could have been right though, I must have hit my head hard.

“Hey, he's awake.” the stallion said as he noticed my head slightly moving. As he walked besides me he looked me over.

“Can you tell me your name?” he asked as we continued to move. I would have answered him but nothing was really working. My head just slumped to the side and I was looking past the stallion. I saw a gray mane, pink coat mare and an orange mane, purple coat stallion wheeling a gurney besides us. I couldn't see who was on it and then we turned left down a hall as they turned right down another, separating us. I closed my eyes, just for a second, to rest them.

“... He's sleeping peacefully.” I heard a voice say near by as I tried opening my eyes again but was having difficulties. When I did open them I caught sight of pink hair in a bun with a little white hat on top leaving the room and closing the door. I looked around and put the pieces together, that I had to have been in a hospital. It looked like any other room in a hospital except that I was alone. I tried to get up but my body wouldn't respond and I didn't feel much of anything. From the light spilling through a window I could tell it was still day but I was tired so I decided to rest my eyes again, just for a second.

“... Here, drink.” the same voice from before woke me up but this time was very close and held a straw to my lips. I sucked on the straw and felt the cold water refreshed my parched mouth. I opened my eyes once again to see the pink hair and white skin. A soft white glow from a light over head illuminated the room, the window was closed and dark.

“I'm Nurse Redheart. Can you tell me yours?” she pulled the water away and stepped back. That's when I noticed something strange about her. It was the massive amount of cleavage she had. Also the fact she was more human then pony. She stood on two normal legs and two normal arms resting by her side. Her white skin was a coat, she had a tail, and her face had some human qualities but was still pony.

“...M...Me...Meason...” I managed to say, my brain not fully registering that an anthro Nurse Redheart stood in front of me. She wore a tight, white nurse outfit that seemed almost to small. She came back to me and checked me over.

“How are you feeling?” she gently lifted my head with her left hand and ran the fingers of her right hand on my face, I felt the soft brush of her fur against my skin. At the same time she inadvertently gave me a look down her low cut shirt. She must have noticed where I was looking because she looked down at me with one eye brow raised and a slightly amused look.

“I think you'll be just fine.” she said as she placed my head down with a quiet chuckle. Then there was a knock at the door as it slowly opened, reveling a brown mane, tan coat, unicorn stallion.

“Evening Doctor.” Nurse Redheart said as she straitened up and faced him.

“Evening Nurse Redheart. And how is our patient?” he asked as he came close and picked up a clip board with my medical chart. Nurse Redheart looked down at me with a grin and winked at me as the doctor went over the chart.

“He's doing better.” she answered the doctor as he gave the chart one last look over.

“I would say so. From the descriptions of you landing, it's a surprise you're alive. You’re even luckier then miss Rainbow Dash and she's our number one patient!” Nurse Redheart giggled at this and so would I but I still wasn't functioning all the way.

“Just tuck him back in and I’ll be back in the morning to check on him.” he turned around and exited the room as Nurse Redheart looked at me. She came over and checked me again as she prepared to live me for the night.

“If you be good you might get a treat in the morning.” she winked at me and I was able to give her a small smile as she turned off the lights and left the room. I wasn't really tired but I closed my eyes just to give them a rest, just for a second.

Two days later

“Time to get up Meason.” a soft voice said as there was shifting sounds and bright light shone behind my eye lids. I opened my eyes and blinked away the stinging in them. When I was able to see properly, Nurse Redheart had stepped away from the window and made her way towards me. She sat down on the bed with me, I scooted over to give her some room.

“So how's my favorite patient today?” she said smiling playfully. I smirked at her and softly shook my head.

“You mean only patient.” I said thinking back. Not once have I seen or heard anyone else since I got here besides the other gurney but that might have been a reflection. I don't remember much from coming into the hospital but there was plenty to remember now.

“Oh we have others here.” she said laying down with me as she placed a hand on my chest. She walked her fingers up to my face and scratched my face sweater.

“Their on the other side of the hospital. Big, tall, cute ones.” she smirked at me as she cupped my face. She pressed her c-cups on my arm, they were trapped in the tight low ridding top she wore. I chuckled as I rolled my eyes.

“Oh you're breaking my heart.” I said nipping at her and she playfully pushed my face away. She got up off the bed and started to walk away but not noticing something different about her outfit. Her mini-skirt rode up her round, plump ass and showed off a bright pink thong that was swallowed by her ass cheeks. She pulled down the skirt and I looked up to see her winking at me. I grinned and shook my head as she went to the door but before she went to open it someone else came in. It was Twilight Sparkle.

“Hello Meason!” the lavender unicorn came in smiling at the two of us and Nurse Redheart left as she walked in. I liked Twilight but since I was able to stay awake longer then ten minutes she was barraging me with questions.

“Hey Twi.” she gave me a funny look when I called her that. For some reason she didn’t like it but didn’t mind it either or maybe it was just me. She came and stood next to me and I had to shift around for reasons.

“So how are you today?” she asked as she pulled out a journal from a brown satchel. She wore a low ridding shirt and knee long skirt that were purple, blue, and white, mixed in ways that were soft on the eyes. I had to tear my eyes away from the dip in her shirt, the dip showed the top of her c-cups.

“Do you want me to tell you or write an essay?” I smirked as I sat up. She chuckled nervously as she tried to put the journal away quickly.

“Well I do have good news, you get to leave today.” she smiled as she reached into her satchel and pulled out a tied bundle of clothing. It was my clothes from when I crash landed and some how they managed to come out only slightly torn in a few spots. I stood up and grabbed the clothes from her.

“So you gona stay here and watch or what?” I asked Twilight as slowly started undressing. At first she didn't understand then it doned on her and she blushed furiously as she rushed out the room. I took of the hospital shirt and was about to take the pants off when the door opened again. Nurse Redheart came in with a serious look on her face.

“Patients are not allowed to undress or dress themselves.” she came over and pushed me back onto to the bed then smirked.

“Let me do it for you.”

After more touching then necessary

I stood out side the doors of the hospital hearing something loud off in the distance, sounding a lot like some type of machinery. I looked around and Twilight was nowhere to be seen. I scratched my head in confusion when I was suddenly thrown down. My eyes were rolling around in my head when I heard a very up beat voice.

“Hello roomy!” when my eyes focused I barely saw Pinkie Pie's face behind her d-cups squishing in my face. She got off of me and I stood up as I dusted my self off. I looked up to her bouncing in place and in more then one place. She was wearing a tie dye shirt that was tied in the back, revealing her stomach, and khaki shorts with the shiniest sneakers ever made. Pinkie Pie wasn't fat at all, she had a thicker hour glass figure that was suited for her.

“Did you just say-” she didn’t give me time to finish as she grabbed my arm and pulled me along at near full sprint. I was dragged through Ponyville without a chance to talk or really see anyone else. I got to meet all the mane six in the hospital but Pinkie took to me the best.

“Here we are!” she pulled me into Sugercube Corner but didn't stop there. She dragged me all the way to her room and pushed me inside. After I stopped my self from falling on my face I looked around. Everything in there, furniture, carpet, and all was different hues of pink.

“It's... pink.” she bounced past me and all through the room with a large grin. She started talking a million miles per hour and showed me every little detail of the room. After she was done she stared at me with a smile.

“So... where's my room?” I said and she started to laugh.

“Here silly willy!” she pulled me into a bear hug that smashed my right between her chest boulders. I managed to pry my self from her and look around again.

“Where am I sleeping then?” her eyes lit up and she spun me around, tossing me on her king sized bed. Then she jumped in next to me suddenly wearing bright pink Pj’s that were a size to small.

“With me!” I stared dumbfounded at her, she barely knew me and I was already sleeping with her but in a non-sexual way. I was ok with that but felt weird.

“Good night.” she said as she pulled me down with her and covered us with the blanket. She then just about wrapped here self around me and placed her head on my shoulder.

“Uhh Pinkie, it's like two o'clock.” I said and was answered by a soft snoring. I was in a death hold so I wasn't going anywhere and I wasn’t tired at all so I used this time to reflect.

I may have been in an alternate universe but I was liking it. Everyone here may have human like quality's but I was the only human here. I started to think back on earth and the humans there.

“Screw them.” I said and hugged Pinkie. I may not see my family again but that's the point of moving. There would only be one person I missed.

Love and Alchol

“Rarity this is really uncomfortable.” I said as the titanium white mare circled around me with a notepad in hand while a measuring tape floating in air wrapped around me. Her deft fingers plucked the tape out the air and she began measuring me her self, her touch gliding over me flawlessly. The problem was that I was very ticklish and it was taking all my will power not to thrash about.

I'd rather have been outside today for once in my life seeing how beautiful it was. The sun was up high in the sky and was comfortably warm with a slight breeze. There was a scheduled rain shower a couple days ago but most of it had soaked up in to the ground already.

“I'm almost done darling, just a few more seconds.” I sighed as she circled me a few more time and gave me instructions to lift up my arms. Finally she stepped back as she wrote down my numbers on her pad. I glad to finally have that done since she insisted that-

“Now take your clothes off.” I was in the middle of stepping down from the stand she had me on and nearly face planted. I looked around and found a curtain to strip behind.

“I should be more reluctant to take my clothes off.” I said as I walked behind the curtain and did as I was told. I striped down to my boxers and handed the wad of clothes to Rarity through the opening. I peaked at her as she looked at my clothes in disdain, then she paused for a moment and looked up into my eyes.

“And your undergarments.” I stared at her for a moment and heard the tapping of her foot. I sighed and did as I was told once again, handing her my last piece of clothing. I heard her walk away and go up some stairs. I scanned the little area I was in, noticing it had nowhere to sit and forcing me to lean against the wall. I folded my arms and tapped my fingers on my arm as I waited when I heard the bells from the door ring.

“R-rarity?” I heard a soft voice call out as the door was carefully closed. My heart stopped as I realized that Fluttershy had come in and I was completely naked with the curtain as my only protection.

“Rarity are you here?” the butter cream yellow mare called out as she walked further in the shop. I could hear her coming closer and closer, I had to do something fast.

“She's up stairs.” I said and it was followed by a squeak as Fluttershy bolted up stairs. I could hear the two mares talking to each other, one reassuring and the other frightened. I waited for a little bit in silence when there was a soft foot fall coming down the stairs.

“Me-meason?” I felt a sharp pain in my heart when her quiet, scared voice reached out for me, I never meant to frighten her. I poked my hand out the curtain and waved.

“Hey Fluttershy.” I said she she shuffled closer to me. She remained quiet and I felt awkward.

“So how are you? I haven't had many times to talk to you since you usually hide from me.” I tried to start up some conversation but it wasn't working. I was about to give up when she finally spoke.

“I'm sorry, it's just that I’ve never seen something like you. Your just...”

“So majestic?” I cracked in real quick and earned a relaxed giggle from her. I smiled hearing something so precious.

“I mean I'm one-of-a-kind, I'd get scared too if I saw a lumbering, nearly hairless ape fall out the sky.” she giggled again and I could feel the air become more peaceful.

“I'm sorry for not spending more time getting to know you so lets start over. I'm Fluttershy.” I chuckled at her and went along.

“Well It's a pleasure to meet you Fluttershy and my name is Me-” I stopped speaking as she pulled the curtain aside and stood before me. She was wearing a mountain meadow green dress that hugged her wide hips, skinny waist, and double D's. She wore a red lotus in her hair that matched the color of her face with her light cyan eyes open wide. She spun around and tore out the boutique just as Rarity was coming down stairs.

“Fluttershy?” she came down looking at the door in confusion as I quickly pulled the curtain back again.

“Did I forget to give you a rob? I'm so sorry Meason!” she rushed over to a drawer and pulled out a white cotton robe and tossed it over the curtain to me. I quickly put it on and walked out looking down. I grumbled at the floor as she chuckled nervously.

“Uh I'll go get you clothes.” she rushed up stairs as I went to the door to see if I could find Fluttershy. Needless to say I didn't and Rarity came back down.

“For now here is something simple until I can make you something more fabulous.” she handed me a neatly folded bundle of clothing. I went behind the curtain again and changed. A pair of black boxers, denim jeans, to my distaste, and a white cotton tee.

“I usually use this as base models since you can branch out much farther from them but other then that they are... fitting.” she said on the other side of the curtain straitening out her purple skirt and white blouse.

“Thanks Rarity.” I said walking out once more fully dressed along with my black sneakers. I was about to leave when Rarity stopped me.

“Before you go I need a couple more measurements.” I stared at her with a blank face while screaming inside. Once again I stood up on the stand as she brought back the tape and pad.

“So did Fluttershy and you have anything interesting to talk about?” she said as she stretched the tape across my shoulders. I felt my face get a little red which normally doesn’t happen to me. I then heard a faint buzzing sound, probably the blood rushing to my ears.

“We meet each other for the first time again except I didn't have clothes this time.” I said as she stepped in front of me. She chuckled nervously and apologized as the buzzing in my ears got a little louder. It was starting to get annoying and I tried taking my mind off it by staring out the window. Rarity continued her work as I looked at the sky and saw something dark blue. It seemed like the buzzing was... coming... from...

“Meason wait, I'm not done!” Rarity yelled at me as I bolted out the door. I don't know why I didn’t recognized the sound before. The buzzing, dark blue, and high in the sky. It was-

“My plane! I really hope it doesn’t crash into anything!” I said out loud as I ran the direction it was heading until it suddenly fell. It nose dived at high speed and only going faster. I stopped and watched in horror as it was moments away from crash landing. Then it pulled up with a couple a feet from the ground and prepared to land. I started running again to catch it but ended up face planting and eating dirt. I looked up to see it speeding towards a school.

Further ahead of the plane

“Ok guys now that our sixteen birthday parties are out the way, we can get back to crusading.” a dark orange Pegasus filly with light purple mane knelt between to other sitting fillies. One was an earth pony that was a pale yellow with a light raspberry mane and a white unicorn with pale purple and grayish rose mane. The unicorn straitened out her white dress and played with the blue trim as she waited to see wait they would be doing. The earth pony in denim overalls and green shirt scrunched up her face in thought as the Pegasus in black pants and purple checkered button up shirt looked between the two. They were grouped together a little from the school away from everyone and didn't hear the teacher call the students back inside.

“How 'bout Cutie Mark Crusaders Candle Makers?” the pale yellow filly suggested and the other two looked at her funny.

“That's a great idea!”

“That's a horrible idea!” the two said at the same time and then looked at each other before all three laughed out loud. At that time their laughing masked the sound of buzzing dying with dragging sounds and heavy breathing.

“We've tried almost everything and still haven't got our cutie marks.” the unicorn said as the buzzing went away and there was something being dragged instead. The Pegasus balled up her right hand and smacked it into her opened left hand.

“I know what we can do! Cutie Mark Crusaders-” she was interrupted as she was nearly sent face first into the ground.

“Hey watch it jerk!” she said as she stood up and spun around.

“Cutie Mark Crusaders Hey Watch It Jerk?” the unicorn said as the other filly shrugged and turned to see what was happening. The saw the orange filly staring confused at a large metal object in front of her.

“Hey you kids alright?” a voice called out as something came around the mysterious object. It was about six foot tall and broad with a bit of a pot belly. It looked and sounded male but didn't have a coat like a stallion or scales like a dragon. It had a mane and a small beard but that was the most hair that could be seen. Some mud and grounded in dirt was smeared along the front of it clothes and face. A small cut bellow the right eye was bleeding heaver then it should have been.

“We're fine, Scottaloo just got tapped in the head.” the yellow filly said as she looked at said filly who was standing still with her eyes wide open and her mouth slightly too.

“Hi! I'm Sweetie Belle.” the white unicorn said as she walked up to the strange creature with a hand extended out. The creature was confused at first but then shook Sweetie Belle's hand with a slightly dirty hand.

“Hi, I'm Meason. The dude that fell out the sky if you haven't heard already.” he said as he tried to clean him self to no avail.

“Well Ah'm Applebloom. Ah heard about you from my sister.” the yellow filly said as she too went shake his hand. She prodded Scottaloo in the ribs as she past by her.

“And the one catchin' fly's here is Scottaloo.” with that she snapped out of it and her hand shot up fast and waved then shot right back down.

“Well I'm glad none of yall got hurt but I got to go and try to fine some place to put this.” he looked back at the huge object and sighed. He then walked away and around it to check it out. Sweetie Belle and Applebloom got close together as Scottaloo just watched him.

“So what do you think he is?” Sweetie Belle asked Applebloom as they turn their backs.

“Mah sis said that he's a human and he's from somewhere far, far away.” Applebloom answered as they started to further discuss this 'Meason'. Scottaloo watched Meason as he walked around the object and looking nervous. Then an idea struck her.

“Hey Meason! Applebloom's sister has a barn I'm sure you can put it there.” both her friends and Meason stopped and looked at her. She stood there playing with the edge of her shirt as Meason thought about it.

“Ah don't mah sis would mind but ah don't think he knows the way there.” Applebloom spoke as Scottaloo's head shot up.

“That's fine, I can show him the way.” Scottaloo said as she quickly approached Meason. He looked at her then Applebloom before shrugging.

“I guess we can do that.” he didn't sound sure about it so Scottaloo tried to reassure him. Meanwhile Miss Cheerilee called out to them from the school house to come in.

“You guy's go ahead, I'll show Meason the way.” everyone else looked at each other then shrugged. Applebloom and Sweetie Belle walked back to the school while Meason and Scottaloo turn the plane and pushed it towards Sweetapple Acres.

Later on down the road

The temperature had climbed slightly as we pushed the plane down the road. We both were panting and sweating from going on for so long. We had passed by a couple of other ponies along way as they stared in wonder. I had tried to get away from the Crusader's as fast as possible since they had such a destructive reputation even if it was unintentional but now I had one with me. I thought just one couldn't be so bad, right?

“So what is this thing? Scottaloo said between breaths on the right side of the large metal machinery. She had taken off her button up shirt and tied it around her waist, underneath it she had on a white tank top. On my side I panted and gulped for air.

“A plane.” I said trying to keep conversation to a minimal so I could save air. Scottaloo kept quite for a while before talking again.

“What's it do?” I looked over the wing of the plane to see the farm in the distance and sighed in relief. I looked through the glass of the cockpit and could see some of Scottaloo's head from the eye's up. She was focused deeply on moving the plane.

“It let's me fly.” I could see her head shot up and the plane started to go to the right.

“Hey, don't stop now!” I said trying to keep the plane strait. Quickly she got back to pushing and the plane went back on track. We pushed in silence once again for some time before Scottaloo spoke up.

“How does it do that?” she asked without a hint of fatigue in her voice. I wondered why she would want to know that since she could...

“It's a long and complicated process.” I said in hope it would stomp out any further discussion.

“Then when you have some free time would you tell me?” I tried not to sigh to loud, I should have seen this coming.

“... sure.” I knew I would probably regret this but then the plane started to go left. I looked through the cockpit and could barely see the top of her head. She was pushing even harder now, trying to get the plane to Applejack's even faster. I picked up the pace to match her and we continued in silence that lasted from both of us.

“Hey you two what are y'all doin'?” someone behind us called out and before I could turn and see who it was Scottaloo answered.

“Hey Applejack. We're trying to get this to your farm to see if you would let us keep it there for a little bit.”

“Uh well ah don't see way not, we got the room. Let's help 'em Big Mac.”

“Eyup.” Both of the walk past my side and to the front of the plane where they tied a rope, with my instruction on to where so nothing was broken, and started to pull. With their help it relived some of the burden on Scottaloo and me. Soon we were passing the gates to the farm were we finally stopped.

“Here you two rest, Big Mac can take it the rest of the way.” I just nodded my head and stepped aside as Big Mac hulled of the planes with seamlessly no problem at all. I made note to never piss him off.

“Oh you poor dears must be tired, here have something to drink and some snack.” A light green elderly mare walked out of nowhere with a try of glasses of water and little snacks. I grabbed a glass and drained it in a second.

“Thank you ma'am.”

“Your welcome deary. Now ah'm Granny Applesmith, ah watch over the youngens here.” I grabbed one of the apple snacks from the tray and took a bite. It was warm and gooey with the ever so great sweet apple taste.

“It's a pleasure to meet you Ma'am, I'm Meason. You've done a great job with these kids and your self.” I tried to be as polite as possible to her even though I felt like I could tell everyone to fuck off and lie down.

“Well that's very kind of you to say dear.” she said before she turned to Applejack.

“He has manner's and ain't to bad lookin'. Merry him and finally have some kids.” with that she turned around and hobbled off in to the house. I stared at her in shock and then looked around. Scottaloo looked like she was glaring at her but I had already turned my head and was looking at Applejack. She met my eyes and we laughed nervously at each other. She had on tight blue jeans, white tee shirt under a brown plaid button up shirt with cowboy boats and her stetson. She had a toned body with a firm butt and was somewhere between b and c cup.

“Well Big Mac should be done now so if ya need anything give a holler. Ah'll be in the house.” she walked off to the house leaving me alone with Scottaloo who had her arms crossed. I then set off to the barn to find my plane and not noticing Scottaloo was following me. The doors to the barn were wide opened and I found Big Mac unfastening the rope from the plane.

“Thanks a lot Big Mac. You would have some extra tools around in case I need to work on it do you?” he looked around and then pointed to a wall where a pile tools laid.

“There ya go. Now if you two need help with somethin' just ask.” he walked away as rolled up the rope and left me confused. I turned around to see Scottaloo still with me.

“Oh uh thanks a lot Scottaloo, I never would have been able to get it here without your help.” she smiled with a slight blushed then went to stretch her arms above her head. I could help but notice that she worn nothing under her sweat soaked, white tank top. I quickly turned and went to my plane to open the engine compartment.

“So anything I can help with?” those words sent an unnatural chill down my spine.

“Uh I need a wrench.” she quickly ran over to the tools and began going through them.

“What's that look like?” I sighed deeply. This was going to be a long day.

A little bit later, after having to coach her about the different tools, Scottaloo and I talked about different things as I tried to find out what was wrong with my plane since nothing wanted to work. We both ended up with grease over our hands and faces and Granny Smith would come out to bring food and drinks. It was about four at the time when Big Mac, wearing some well worn jeans and boots with no shirt, come in to do some chores.

“... but other then that their is no one.” Scottaloo said as she wiped her hands off on a shop rag.

“So what about someone you like?” I said as I dropped a nut in the compartment and had to search for it. She didn't answered right away as I had to put my head on the plane facing Big Mac who was fixing a plow, I kept digging as he looked up. I couldn't see her reaction since she was on my other side.

“Um well I kinda just meet him.” Big Mac had a grin and I raised an eye brow as I blindly searched for the nut.

“Ok well tell me about him then.” I found the nut but as I tried to pull my arm out my shirt got stuck.

“Well I don't know much about him so we'll have to see but... maybe.” I was still stuck as she spoke and Big Mac was trying to not laugh for some reason. Finally I got my arm free and turned to Scottaloo holding up the nut and looking at it.

“Well let's hope he sees how great you are and makes a move or make the move your self. I personally like a girl like that because she turns out more... anyway could you hand me that tool?” I quickly said as I screwed the nut on with my hands so I wouldn't drop it. She handed me the tool and I tightened the nut when someone called outside.

“Scottaloo?” a familiar voice came from out side the barn searching for the Pegasus.

“That's Rainbow Dash!” her head shot up and she got excited as she ran out the barn. At that time something popped off the engine and shot off to the loft of the barn. I sighed and went to the ladder going to the loft. Big Mac watched me as I searched for whatever flew up here. I could hear Rainbow Dash but not what she was saying. Then I found it, a bent gear that needed to be replaced. As I went to walk back to the ladder I lost my balance at the edge and began flailing.

“Oh shit!” I cried out and Big Mac had already bounded over to me as I slipped off the edge. I fell off aiming right at him and he caught me but his hands slipped... and our lips locked. Our eyes went huge but then his started to close. I quickly backed away after regaining my footing.

“Uh I got to go.” I almost ran out the barn leaving Big Mac still standing in place. Out side I found Rainbow Dash and Scottaloo.

“Hey lotion rubber.” Rainbow Dash said smirking at me and I suddenly forgot everything that just happened.

“Hey your proctologist sent me a letter, he said he said he found your head.” we both grinned while Scottaloo giggled. Rainbow Dash and I were able to get along so well because we insulted each other a lot.

“Well anyways I was looking for Scottaloo to talk to her about the Wonderbolts rally but since your here do you want to go out?” I raised an eye brow and Scottaloo's eyes got big.

“Oh Rainbow Dash I thought you'd never ask. I've been saving this special dress and everything.” I batted my eyes at her and she rolled here eyes.

“Me and the girls are going to Club Drop and they wanted to see if you would come.” I thought about it then nodded.

“Sure just need to clean up.” I said when Scottaloo tried to say something else but Rainbow Dash grabbed a hold of her and took off.

“See you at eight!” I waved at them as they flew away. Scottaloo looked at little sad for some reason. I was about to head into the barn and close up the plane when someone cleared their throat.

“Hey Meason?” I turned to see Big Mac running a hand through his mane and looking off to the side.

“Oh dear...”

Later on at Sugarcube Corner

I just stepped out the shower and was drying off, I could hear Mrs. Cake speaking to customers at the front. Mr. Cake was taking care of the twins with the help of Pinkie Pie singing some song. I wrapped the towel around my waist and stared into the mirror. I hadn't shaved in awhile so I decided it was time and with the help of a special catalog I got a razor for my self, since none of my belongings were in the plane. With in a few minutes I had a Daughtry chin strap beard and a Mr. Bauhaus 93 mustache. Then I put on my clothes, well Big mac's actually. Since I had no others at the moment he let me borrow some faded blue jeans and a black tee shirt, that had the name of a band call “The Clam Pounders”, that I wore with my black sneakers. I walked out the bathroom and nearly strait into Pinkie Pie who was wearing a hot pink frilly short skirt and a bubble gum pink hoodie. She quickly put up her hands that had laced no finger gloves and bounced around.

“Are you ready, it's almost time to go?!” I nodded and she dragged me out the store before I could say good bye to the Cakes. Outside everyone else was waiting while wearing everyday attire that was more suited to all the shuffling around normally called dancing. We were waiting for a carriage that was oddly pulled by some stallions but I didn't question it.

“So Meason, how as your first week been here?” Twilight, sitting right across from me asked. I thought back on it and besides the plane and first getting here it's been mostly uneventful. Staying with Pinkie Pie was... exciting but we got along well and the incident with Fluttershy was exciting to say the least.

“Well It's been good but getting back something of mine has been great.” the ones who didn't know what had happened earlier that day looked at me confused and I explained to them about my plane.

“What, so you hairless monkeys don't have wings? You all must look the same.” Rainbow Dash smarted off as she sat next to Twilight.

“Unfortunately we don't but most the woman don't look like they took a facial from a Zap Apple.” I grinned as she flipped me off and Applejack snickered to my right. I looked around and noticed that the other four girls were talking to each other too but Fluttershy looked up as I did. When we made eye contact she blushed and looked away, I could feel my face get hot too. This day had certainly been interesting.

Soon we were rolling into Canterlot with Club Drop closing in fast. All the girls started to get last minute preparations finished before we pulled up. When the carriage came to a stop everyone got excited because we were being dropped off right in front of the line and were going to walk in.

“Alright girls... and Meason, I already made reservations so-” Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash rushed past her and out the door to the club. She gave up and got out with the rest leaving me as the last one. There was a long line of an assortment of party goers waiting to get inside while a large blue Minotaur was the bouncer. Most of Club Drop was underground but the sign was up high. It said the name and had a tear drop with some music note inside it in the middle of the club name. I was last in the group as we walked up to the entrance. Every girl walked right in but as I was about to the Minotaur put his beefy hand in the way.

“Where do you think your going?” he said as he tried to push me back. He had his hand on my chest but I wouldn't budge.

“With them since I came with them or do you need glasses to see that?” I don't know what caused me to smart off like that but he didn't like it at all.

“I said get lost!” he raised his voice and pushed harder but I grabbed his wrist and twisted, I didn't like assholes touching me. His face contorted in pain and I could see tears in his eyes. At this time Twilight came back out looking for me.

“Hey it's ok he's with me!” she pulled me away and he quickly backed off, nodding while avoiding eye contact and holding his wrist. I followed Twilight in with my hands to my side and they felt hot from the confrontation. He managed to get me mad so quickly which normally doesn't happen but it had been a long day.

“You two done making out?” the Rainbow mare started before I even had a chance to look around.

“Yup and you're next.” I said as Twilight went red and Rainbow Dash smirked. I looked around at the dance floor filed with slithering mass of bodies dancing to the bass heavy music. Strobe lights littered the place with fog machines and massive stereos. There was a pony at the large Dj station but I couldn't make out who it was. Out side the dance floor was some booths and a bar, which I headed to after everyone else scattered. I had to elbow my way to the bar the closer I got but was able to find a spot that was relatively empty. I leaned against the counter and looked at the wall of alcohol in front of me. I then looked down and for some reason I was still thinking about the bouncer.

“It would seem that somepony is Sad and Handsome.” a voice said as a shot glass was magically placed in front of me and a bright azure mare walked up to me with a bottle in hand. She never took her eyes off me as she poured me a shot. I smiled and shook my head.

“I am your Sexy and Flirty bartender, Trixie.” she said as she picked up the shot glass and placed it in her white tube top between her b cups. She smirked as I ran a hand over my face and chuckled. Then I grabbed her by her hips, barely covered by a blue mini skirt, and dived at her chest. I pulled out the shot glass with my mouth and tossed my head back, which I immediately regretted the decision. My eyes watered and my throat burned more then from any other drink.

“What the hell is this?” I said coughing and blinking my eyes hard. There was a laugh but then it became disoriented until it completely faded away and all sounds around me became muffled.

“Hey want to dance?” I was looking at Rainbow Dash as she danced between some mare and stallion. I looked around after asking her and noticed something different about my self. I had no shirt, a cluster of glow sticks all over me and some mare, she looked like Colgate but I wasn't sure, grinding her self on my back.

“Yes I want to dance but not with you.” she smirked as she grabbed the waist of her dance partners and pulled them away. They disappeared into the crowd and I turned around to the mare to dance with her. Then suddenly everything went black again.

“Meason what are-” I opened my eyes to yellow and pink, holding warm, soft flesh. My lips were locked with someone else and my hands were running up and down their back. When I pulled away I saw that it was Fluttershy and she was breathing heavily with her eyes closed. Her eyes opened and her entire face was red.

“I'll get us drinks!” she turned and disappeared into the mass of sweaty bodies. I looked around confused and at my self. My shirt had been crudely tapped on me and the glow sticks formed a skirt on over my pants. Then Applejack danced up to me and placed her hat on my head as she pulled me to her.

“Let's work it!” she grinned wildly as she hugged me and I felt her hands go into my back pockets. Before I could do anything everything started to fade again. This time the darkness lasted longer and I felt like I was somewhere between sleeping and running. It was like being put on autopilot but with no idea what had happened.

“What did you give me?” I was pinning Trixie's hands behind her as she grinned. She didn't answered me right away but instead started grinding her self on me. I started breathing hard and forced her mouth open as I slipped my tongue down her throat. After a couple of seconds she pulled away with a seductive smile.

“I made it my self. It's called Fade out.” I looked at her in shock.

“You don't say.” then true to it's name I faded out from reality again. The darkness and feeling was heavier this time and was harder to climb out of it. When I did come back I saw Trixe looking down at me with a satisfied look on her facea as she left and my pants around my ankles but the glow stick skirt still around my waist. I was in a bathroom stall and the only place with the harsh steady white lights. I tried to get up but the mare that was grinding on me before walked in.

“Ready for our second round?” she said as she took off her belt and slapped it in her hand. She grinned wickedly as she tossed the belt at me and turned around.

“Second?” she dropped her pants and bent over before everything went black. The darkness was very heavy and felt more like being forced to sleep with shackles. This time the noise was less muffled and I came to with all my clothes on.

“Where the hell did you learn that? What was it called, Gangabang?” I stood by Vinyl Scratch in the Dj booth, who wore only a white tank top and a deep red thong. I tried to correct her on the name but I started to fall, literally. The Dj's booth was above the crowd of bodies and I went over the side but thankfully they thought I was trying to crowd surf and they caught me. I started to slip away again but this time there was no darkness but everything turned into a panoramic blur.

“Yeah it's called Rap, brand new but he's really good at it. Everyone here can try to go against him but he's been the raining champ for six weeks. They say his name is Pie-lapse” I was standing next to Twilight as she talked about the stallion in disguise on stage rapping. For some reason now one could tell who it was, even Twilight, and the guy was just wearing a black sleeping mask with holes cut out. Soarin stood on a stage with a mic in hand and rapping against some other stallion. I couldn't hear what he said but he apparently beat the other stallion. Then he was calling for his next opponent as the stallion walked off stage with his head hung in defeat.

“Guess who's next?” I heard someone say behind me before I was lifted into the air to the stage. Rainbow Dash flew me above the crowd with my feet hitting someponies in the head along the way. She dropped me onto the stage and I landed face first. I was picked up again but this time by Soarin and he pushed a mic into my hand.

“I'll start this off my Homely's!” he said into the mic as he lightly bounced up and down, throwing his other arm into the air.

I got more muscles then a minotaur

My opponents come from afar

They call Mister Hit-hard cause with one hit I'll knock off all your lard

And drop you down in the yard

My beats are the greatest

They get me on the A-list

Making more bits as I get ripped

Getting all these mares to strip.

With that he folded his arms and looked at me smugly. I felt like puking from how horrible that was and I can't rap. I lifted the mic and after a few false starts I started to talk.

“You're... good and I don't know the first thing about rapping so I'll make this up as I go.” I bounced my head a few times then started by tossing an arm out and stomping up to him.

Ima round house kick the Chrystal Empire

Drippin' from the back of yo head?

Meason out

Later Colt Scout.

I tossed the mic at him and walked right off the stage as the crowd exploded. I walked into a sea of screaming faces as they cheered me on before they all floated away. Everything melted together and I was strolling through a portrait of swirling colors with a featureless pony waiting for me. I walked up to it and it extended it's arms which I grabbed a hold of the fused fingers as everything went black for the last time.

…..

“Meason?” I faintly heard a voice call my name as I floated in the air. It kept on trying to get my attention and finally pulled me out of my hibernation. I slowly opened my eyes as something blue come closer. I blinked hard and repeatedly until the blob of color started to focus.

“R-rainbow Dash, why are you up side down?” she stopped in front of me with the blue jump suit on that was her weather control uniform. She was up side down and with her breast at eye level.

“Why don't you get up?” she said as she shook her head. I was confused and it took me a minute to figure out I was upside down. I lifted up my head and immediately saw the featureless pony which was one of Rarity's mannequins. I was laid across it's arms up in the air so I rolled off. I fell to the floor and lay there for a while. I could barely move and my head was killing me.

“What happened last night?” I managed to get out my parched throat as I let the cold from the floor seep into me.

“You mean two day's ago?” Rainbow Dash said as she walked up to me and rolled me over. She was leaning over me as she knelt next to me. I looked at her confused again.

“Two day's?” I asked as she started running her hand through my hair and looking at my face.

“Yup. After the club closed we moved the party over here. And Rarity's been missing since then too.” she pulled out something from my hair then traced a finger along the scratch below my right eye. Just then we heard rustling and we looked to my right where there was a pile of fabrics. Rarity, looking disgruntled and tired, emerged from the pile of cloth.

“Found her.” Rainbow Dash said as she stood up and walked away. I heard the door open and bright light flooded the room.

“Well I got to get back to work so have fun you two.” with that she closed the door and left. I hear something being dragged and huffing.

“What happened?” Rarity said as she pulled her self next to me with some of the fabrics and collapsed next to me. I made a noise that sounded like a 'I don't know' and stared up at the ceiling. After a while I felt something in my pockets and dug whatever it was out. I ended up bulling out bunches of paper with names and addresses of mares and a stallion. I tossed them to the side and heard Rarity groan as they landed on her face.

“The Confused and Hungover, Meason.” I said and sigh when Rarity smacked my mouth with her hand and left it there.

“Shut up.”

Don't Worry About Me

Some time later, couldn't have been more then a week, I was getting more active with the girls. I was being slammed into the ground, punched in the stomach, and having limbs nearly torn off. The physical abuse was the more activity with the girls but more specificity Rainbow Dash. I had gotten in a fight with some random stallions and won but not before getting a good thrashing. Afterward Rainbow Dash offered to teach me martial arts and I accepted. I spent most of the time on the ground as she stood over me which would be better is she wore a skirt but that’s not the point.

“Give up?” Rainbow Dash said as she snickered at me down on the ground. I looked up breathing hard still thinking about the skirt thing.

“I thought you... were teaching me not just... beating the hell out of me?” I said between breaths trying to think of something else. She just laughed as she pulled me up off the ground just to give me a swift kick to the stomach and sending me down again.

“I am. You just got to learn pain first.” she said as I tried to breath and saw spots. She bent over me with a wicked smile as my vision started to clear up.

“I think you're ready.” she said with a wink. I mumbled something so she came closer to try to hear what I said and that’s when I struck. I hit strait in the face and sent her stumbling back. I don’t hit girls but this was just training so it was fine. I stood up as she was holding her face.

“Ow! What the hell you dick!” she glared at me and I shrugged with a half grin. She started to laughing and I knew that was probably the worse thing I could have done.

“Oh you're definitely ready.” she advanced towards me and I cried in terror on the inside. She taught me what she knew in martial arts and in the most painful way possibly. I was able to grasp the positions, movements, etc quickly but I was out of shape and being hit hard. The session ended when everything went black, she hit me so hard I was sent into a tree and knocked out. When I did come to she chuckled nervously saying she might have gotten carried away. I spent the next couple of days in ice baths when I wasn't being tossed around.

“So Meason since your not busy, with you being horrible beaten and everything, I thought you could help me with some spells!” I stared at Twilight on her couch with an ice pack on the right side of my face. She had dragged me to her house saying she had something very important to ask me and needed privacy.

“Ok but why so secretive about it?” she blushed when asked her and she pulled out a book. She placed it in my lap and looked away.

“If you don't want to I understand.” she said as I picked up the and read the cover.

“The Short Book of the Erotic and Exotic side of Magic?” I looked at her with in confusion as her blush deepened.

“I have somepony that I want to- I need to see if this book is real or just a scam.” she quickly muttered as she snatched the book away. I sighed and shrugged my shoulders.

“I guess if it's for somepony or to see if it's a scam.” I was sure this wasn't going to end well but I was doing the thing friends do for each other. She had me stand away from her while she ready herself so I crossed my arms and waited.

“Ok just don't move or make any noises... or breath.” she quickly said as her horn started to glow and I froze in place. My skin started to tingle and my hair stood on end as her entire body started to shine.

“Twilight I'm home!” Spike shouted as he burst through the front door. Twilight jumped and the spell fired at me. She tried grabbing at it as if she could stop it but it was all ready in front of me. The only thing going through my head at the moment was 'I'm beginning to hate magic'. The spell hit my in the chest and shoved me back into Spike. We both flew out the door and skidded on the ground.

“I am so tired of ending up on the ground.”

“Gred ouf!” A squished dragon replied under me and I rolled to the side. I stood up and peeled him off the ground, dusting my self off afterwords. Twilight came out the door in a frantic sprint.

“Meason are you OK?!?” she ran over to me and started looking me over.

“No don't worry Twilight I'm fine.” Spike grumbled to him self as he fixed his clothing. I tried prying Twilight away but she wouldn't budge.

“I'm fine Twilight, honestly.” I said and she stopped immediately but stared at me with a panicked look.

“You should be dead!” she shouted and Spike and I stared at her. I gave her a confused look asking her to explain.

“When Spike barged in, it broke my concentration and altered the spell. The spell changed. It was going to stop your heart.” I suddenly felt cold as the last word came out her mouth. Spike was looking between us worriedly. I took a deep breath and rubbed my eyes.

“Twilight. Find someone else to experiment on please.” I turned around and walked away without opening my eyes. I continued to walk away with my eyes closed hoping this would lead my to a hole to fall down in and disappear for awhile. There was no hole, only a pole.

“Uhh Meason?” I heard a voice called out to me as I laid on the ground. I walked right into a pole and fell to the dirt but didn't bother to get up I figured I was less likely to die down here. Not moving. Away from magic.

“Please leave a message after the beep.” there was no beep afterwords. Rarity came into my sight with a concerned look on her face. I sighed and got up to face her.

“Are you alright darling?” she asked while picking off debris from me. Normally I would be, even after being beaten and almost killed but something had been nagging on me all day.

“Yeah just... looking for something to do.” her eye lite up when I finished my sentence. She grabbed my hands and dragged me inside her boutique. I hadn't realize I made it all the way over here.

“Then how about modeling for me? I have some new ideas for the “large and in charge” stallions of Equestria.” I simply nodded my head and screamed inside. I unknowingly volunteered my self to mentally scar Rarity with my body. I can only hope for the best.

“Oh don't worry Meason, you just have some of your winter weight that's all.” Rarity walked me to the door as we had finished for the day and it was getting late.

“Yes enough for a hundred.” I said gloomy. I’ve been a bit over weight since I became a teenager but it was all centered to my stomach. She patted me on the back and gave me a reassuring smile.

“I'm sure with all that training with Rainbow Dash will help that right away.” I cringed a little remembering that she said tomorrow would be worse.

“If I don't die first.” she chuckled nervously as she was out of things to say as I walked out the door. I kept my eyes open this time as I walked but down at my feet. Today was not a very good day so I headed back home to Sugarcube Corner. The night was mostly quiet and cool.

“Can something painless, both physical and mental, happen to me?” I stopped and talked to the night sky as if expecting it to answer. I stood there in silence

“Come on! Anything! Strike me down! I'm waiting!” I waved my arms at the sky like I was trying to get it's attention.

“What are you waiting for Meason?” my body stiffened and I slowly turned my head to see Fluttershy standing close by. I didn't hear her walk up behind me because I was being to loud I guess. I turned to her chuckling nervously.

“You.” I went wide eyed and dead silent, I didn’t mean to say that and had no idea why that slipped out. She stepped back and I couldn't help but feel like I creep-ed her out. Instead she smiled and started to walk over to me.

“So why are you really out here?” she asked as she stopped right next to me. My face got hot and my heart began to race, I was glad it was dark right now.

“Something to do?” I meant it as I statement but it wouldn't come out that way. She smiled again and grabbed a hold of my arm leading the way.

“Well if you don’t mind that is, there's a hill where I go to star gaze. When I don't have anything to do or have a bad day I go to it. And it's safe so nothing would bother us.” I nodded and followed her to the hill which was not far off. Along the way she locked arms with me and my stomach did a flip. I hadn't spent much time with Fluttershy since I’ve been here. I hadn't spend much time alone with her either, at night and in the dark.

“Here we are!” she said excitedly as we climbed a small hill and stood at the top. It wasn't very high but the difference was breath taking. It seemed as if every star was shinning brighter with nothing to hide them from us too. We sat down next to each other and watched the night sky. I saw a few similar constellations and some different ones that Fluttershy pointed out.

“You know Meason, I'm glad your my friend. Most times I get scared of new ponies and sometimes start to cry. But not with you.” I was staring at the stars when she said this and was suddenly taken aback. I looked at her and smiled.

“I would never make you cry Fluttershy, I'd hate to see that and I'd hate my self for it.” she smiled and blushed when I said that. Suddenly there was a call in the distance, a howl. She leaned into me a little scared and I just placed an arm around her. After awhile we got up and I walked her home, along the way we talked about different sorts of things and it helped calm her down. I said good night and headed home feeling better about the day. A couple of 'bad' things may have happened but I got to spend some time with some friends and get away from the nagging feeling in the back of my head.

“So ready for today Colt Cuddler?” Rainbow Dash and I circled each other in a small dirt arena. We had a spot to practice out at Sweetapple Acres away from everyone but still managed to attract a small crowd. The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, and some other kids watched out side the ring.

“I will punch in your inverted dick.” I said as we started to get closer to each other. Spike rang a bell they had dug up from somewhere and we went at each other. I was doing good for about five minutes but then Fluttershy showed up and I got distracted. The next thing I know I was laying on the ground once again looking up at Rainbow Dash.

“What are you looking at perv? Like what you see? Just to let you know I'm not wearing panties.” she wiggled her body and I quickly got up and turned away from her. I didn't need bad thoughts in my head while I was in front of children. I locked eyes with Fluttershy as she waved at me. I was about to wave back but my feet where taken out from underneath me. Rainbow Dash got on top of me and pinned me down.

“So I've been talking to Fluttershy and all I got to say is... you break her heart I break your spine.” she let me go and walked away. I laid on the ground for a little longer admiring the sky. I get to see I lot of it. I got off the ground and dusted my self off, Fluttershy was still here. She smiled at me and I took Rainbow Dash's words into deep consideration. I walked to her and we talked a little before she had to go back home to her animals. I spent the rest of the day talking to some of the town ponies and doing much of nothing.

Over the next few days I trained with Rainbow Dash, went to a Pinkie Pie party, had a happy misadventure with the girls, and most importantly I got to spend normal free time with Fluttershy. Everything was fine until I remembered I still had a problem to solve.

I stared at the engine suspended a little above the engine compartment of the plane in the barn. With Big Mac's help I was able to remove the engine for closer inspection on the plane but nothing seemed wrong. I had checked nearly everything but nothing was broken, fried, or clipped. I couldn't find anything wrong so I did the most logical thing... took it apart. Once a piece came off it was perfectly laid out in a specific order so I wouldn’t forget where it went.

I spent a couple of hours rebuilding and dismantling over and over with no luck. I kept trying again and again but was getting nowhere. When I removed a belt I saw something stuck in a gear. I don’t know how I missed it before but there it was. It was a thin, crumpled film of plastic with some oil stains on it.

“Hello there and you ar-” I stopped as soon as I picked it up. It's funny how one little thing can ruin a once in a life time experience. I had finally found what was clawing at my head this entire time in the background. I held the last picture of my parents and me that was taken. I stood behind the two nearly a foot taller. This was before before she got a job at some fancy bar, she was one of the best damn bartenders ever.

Now she was serving angels.

Make sure you bring flowers for the both of us.

A voice faintly sounded in my mind. It came from a placed buried deeply under guilt, shame, and sorrow. Something I never should have done.

“I'm sorry dad... I broke my promise.” I placed the half crumpled picture in my pocket as I grabbed a wrench to take a stubborn nut off. It wouldn't budge and something was obscuring my vision. The metal tool was getting hot in my hands and there was a ringing in my ears.

I'm going to have a drink with your mom.

The voice came back with a kind vengeance only making it harder to see. The wrench snapped and flew out my hand and I tossed my arms up in frustration before slamming my right arm on the plane and collapsed.

“I didn't get the flowers because I was to busy being selfish!” tears streamed down my face as I laid on my arm. I would have stayed there but there was a smell of something burning so I looked up. When I did, one of the planes legs folded under itself throwing me back and flinging the stubborn nut at my face. I slammed into the floor blinded by pain and blood. I shot up whipping my face and stomping over to the plane kicking it and slamming a fist into it again. All I smelt was more things burning and once I clammed down I finally saw what it was. There was a warped impression on the plane and above that my fist made another. On my other hand the blood was being burned. I brought both hands up to my face to see them glowing a deep, low red similar to when you cover a flashlight with your fingers.

“Meason?” I quickly turned around hiding my hands behind my back but I could still smell them. I was breathing hard and trying not to panic. Fluttershy stood at the barn door half way peaking in. She wore a green summer dress with a blue ribbon in her hair.

“Oh no! Are you OK?” she rushed in and over to me with her hands aiming for my face. Immediately my own shot up and grabbed her wrist before she could touch me. I was about to snatch them back but nothing happened.

“Your hands are as hot as a stove too. Please let me help you.” I let go off her wrist and softly sighed. She had me sit down as she got a shop rag and wet it. She gingerly wiped the blood off my face, her touch was gentle and soft.

“Meason were you... crying?” I guess some of the tears cut through the blood and she could tell. I tried to play it off as nothing but she knew better. She looked at me and then the plane.

“I'm sure you will get it fixed again, it just takes time.” I chuckled and shook my head. She looked at me confused and I got the photo out again, adding blood to the oil stains.

“It's not that...” I held up the picture, the last and only picture I had. She looked at it carefully then back at me. I could see her eye get even softer, if that was even possible.

“I'm sure they miss and love you.” I half smiled as I looked at the picture my self. So many memories flashed by my eyes.

“No their waiting for me, looking down on me... I hope, not much to see at the moment.” I put the picture away and looked back at Fluttershy who was about ready to bust into tears herself.

“I'm so sorry I didn't know.” she quickly pulled me into a hug and held me tight. I think this was piety or maybe it was understanding? I pulled back and reassured her that she did nothing wrong.

“The only thing is that I hope they are not to mad at me. I forgot to bring them flowers and got stuck somewhere else along the way as I was running away.” I sighed as Fluttershy kept cleaning my face with a sad look.

“It looks like you got a cut in the middle of your left eye brow. I think it will leave a scar.” she looked it over again after putting a bandage on and then did something that surprised me. She closed in and gently kissed the cut. The moment her lips touched it sent a shock through my body, my skin felt hot.

“There all better.” I looked at her shocked as she pulled away. She gave me a kind smile as she gathered the bloody rag and bandage wrappings. My mind was racing and I don't think I was breathing. She turned around to dispose of the trash when I finally remembered how to breath again.

“Um Fluttershy... when we were at the club...” my voice died in my throat as she turned around blushing. She started to fidget with the side of her dress and I was at a loss for words.

“It's OK. I know you were drunk and there was a lot of things happening.” her face got even more red and I was finding it hard to make eye contact. I stared at the floor for a few more moments.

“Well it wasn't all the alcohol. I mean... there was more to it then that.” I looked up at her to see her blushing again. I stood up and took a deep breath. After few false start I managed to speak.

“Would you like to go to dinner tonight? I mean after I get cleaned up of course.” I looked at my self covered in dirt, grease, and blood. Fluttershy seemed to glow bright as she nodded her head. I think she was happy I asked or that I was going to get my self clean.

“I would love to but which part of tonight?” I looked at her confused. She waited for an answer but it finally dinged on her. She started to explain after an embarrassed look.

“Today the night starts at two. It's some ritual that Princess Luna is performing, Twilight knows more about it.” I slowly nodded my head trying to accept that day and night was controlled even after the prolonged time I've been here. We arranged the time and place for later that night or the night of the night.

“Well that sentence was confusing.”

Later on in the night of the night.

“Which dress should I wear, Angle?” Fluttershy held up two dresses, one a black dress that hugged her body the other a white flowing one, she switched them over her self in front of a mirror. Angle rolled his eyes and hopped away as she chose the black one. She slipped into and went her to vanity to apply some make up. Normally she never wore make up but tonight was special to her. She applied a light lipstick that didn't stand out to much and some eye liner.

“Is this to much Angle?” she asked as he hopped back into the room. He squinted at her and shrugged. She stood up and checked her self one last time before going around and checking on her animals.

“Good bye Angle, I'll be back soon.” she leaned down and kissed the rabbit on his head before walking out the door. She walked to the restaurant, not wanting to fly so she wouldn’t mess up her hair, with in a seven minutes she arrived at the designated place. Going inside she was greeted by a waiter.

“Good evening ma'am, your table as already been set. Please follow me.” Fluttershy was confused at first but followed the waiter. The restaurant was nice and seemed very expensive, she wondered how Meason could afford this. She was then seated and began to wait.

“Meason should be here soon.” she hummed to her self as she looked at the door. Soon five minuets passed and she began to worry. She started to fidget with the silverware as the worst possible scenarios flashed in her head. A light jingle rang at the door and she looked up with a smile. It was not Meason.

“He'll be here soon... I hope.” she reassured her self but soon another five minutes passed. Then ten minutes went by with Meason still not there. Soon another ten minutes. Then thirty. Then an hour. Then another hour.

“Any minute...” she whispered to her self. She looked around to see she was one of the few still there. The waiter would check on her now and then with a sad smile. Fluttershy felt like crying.

“You know miss, if I was your date I wouldn't have ever thought about missing anything to be with you.” the waiter had came over and started talking. She gave him a half heart-ed smile but then the bell rung again. Her head shot to the door but it was not Meason. It was Rainbow Dash. She looked panicked and searching frantically. Then she spotted Fluttershy and rushed to her.

“Thank Celestia you're OK.” Fluttershy stood up and Rainbow Dash hugged her tightly. Fluttershy was confused at what was happening.

“Come on we have to go! Twilight said Meason's in the hospital but not what happened.” Fluttershy's eyes went wide and she rushed pass Rainbow Dash and out the door. They both flew to the hospital as fast as possible. They rushed inside where they found the rest of the girls and Princess Celestia her self talking to the doctor.

“... We've reattached his hand and placed his intestine back inside him but he's lost a lot of blood.” Celestia nodded and Fluttershy choked when she heard those words. Twilight noticed her and went next to her. She hugged her tightly and spoke.

“We thought you were with him, no one could find you. Are you OK?” she pulled away but Fluttershy didn't respond for a few seconds.

“Is he...” she began but a distraught nurse came into the waiting room. She ran to the doctor and grabbed his arm.

“He stopped breathing!” the both ran to the back where other nurses attended Meason. Everyone in the waiting room could hear them.

“Hold pressure here.”

“One one-thousand!”

“I can't get a vein!”

“Two one-thousand!”

“He won't stop bleeding!”

“Three one-thousand!”

“Four one-thous..”

“Five one-ht...”

“Six one...” suddenly the voices stopped and no one moved. Fluttershy was holding her breath, waiting. After a few moments the doctor came out with a mournful look on his face.

“I'm sorry but...” before he could finish, Fluttershy collapsed to the floor in tears. The other girls either stood in silence or wept quietly. Rainbow Dash rushed to the operating room.

“Your not suppose to die! You're making Fluttershy cry! Stop it! Get up! GET UP!” Applejack ran to the room and pulled back the fighting mare as her face was soaked in tears. Both held each other as Celestia slowly walked to the room. Fluttershy fainted and Twilight went to her as Celestia came back.

“I'll... arrange the funeral.”

The next day was quiet. No wind, no animals singing, or ponies talking. Everyone had gathered around on the outskirt of town near the Everfree forest. Ponies who knew Meason and those who didn't, all came to pay their respects. At the front of the crowd was the six girls and Princess Celestia. They watched as Meason was slowly placed into the ground in an oak casket as a few words were spoke. Soon ponies started to leave as the placed flowers at the grave. Soon the six girls remained and they even started to leave. All but Fluttershy and Twilight left.

“Fluttershy... I know it's hard but he's gone now. We have to... move on.” She spoke but there was no response. She tried some more but nothing happened and soon she left Fluttershy by her self. She stared at the grave in silence with tears.

“I knew you wouldn't show up without a reason. I hope you have fun with your parents.” she placed down a rose and slowly walked away. She needed to go home and take care of her animals. She needed to do something to get away for a little bit. Maybe even longer.
