Things Go By

Run. Hide. Cry

   This has been my new life my daily routine for three days no pony has came looking for me but I'm glad no pony cares i don't care either! I am still running looking for a place to go I have arrived at sweet apple acres but im only here to sneak a few apples im terribly hungry ill be here for a few more days until I feel I'm nourished again. A big stallion spotted me creeping around but I dont think that he realized i wasnt a part of his imagination it was dark after all.

   "Hey applejack can you go get some trees I gotta go break the rocks on the dirt road?" A deeper stallion voice said these words.

   "No problem Mac." Applejack said as she galloped off to the orchard.

   "You can come out now ma'-am?" The stallion said

    I was shocked that he actually knew I was there I was hiding in the bushes sure he couldn't see me but i guess he must of noticed me somehow. I get out of the bush and walk to him my head hanging low I felt shameful.

    "H-hi there sir". This was my first time being close enough to him to see his color it was extraordinary nothing i have ever seen it was a gold with a white outline I haven't seem anypony with white in there color at all i found it enchanting.

  "Aint no need for that mess, now tell why didn't you tell us you were here?"

He spoke calmly but he gave me a big toothy grin it was kinda cute...wait cute?! He is a huge stallion and I say cute for him? Thats the wrong word but then what is the right word....he is staring at me...probably judging me..or waiting for me to reply come on Ditzy don't be so pessimistic..there goes another word I never used before.

  "U-umm I was hungry sorry." I didnt know what else to say!!!

  "Oh well in that case come on inside I can cook you something up mighty quick." He was already pushing me to the barn in fact he lifted me up onto his back.

  "Oh no please I dont want to intrude -another word I havent used- on you please." I couldnt help but like the warmth his body gave offI may of actually clung to him

"Dont worry itll be my pleasure helping a pony who needs it please you are my guest." He trotted into the barn with me but this barn was blank nothing put up to decorate the interior.

"Its empty inside here I thought your family would like decorations-" he cut me off before i could finish

"Well thats because this barn is for me made it myself and I dont really have a taste in decoratin."

I smiled and got off of him and sat on a haystack he went into a different room and not so long after he left I could smell it the smell of baking goods!!

  "I hope you like muffins."

"MUFFINS?!?" I squeaked out the word  into a half shrill and shout, I felt my cheeks warm up.

"I take that as a yes i'd reckon."

A few minutes later he came out and oh the sight was glorious he had two plates full of muffins a dozen on each to think a stallion like him a big chunk of pony knows how to bake and oh filly did they smell good.

"They smell delicious!" I was giddy I love muffins so much

"Because they are but in order to have some you have to tell me the truth on why you are here."

Great a curious stallion who is holding my biggest weakness against me!

"Fine but don't hate me" i meant it he will think I'm a freak I'm surprised he hasn't laughed at my eyes yet.

And so I began I told him about the mysterious pegasus about the way i can see colors how ponies have laughed at me.

The whole time he was looking at me with a sincere look be never looked away for a second honestly it was a bit creepy for a minute but i passed that thought grateful that someone will listen to my story.

"You are welcomed to stay here for as long as you want please I would be glad to have a beautiful mare like you in my barn" his color not his body but his aura...his light it changed to an odd texture colorless but there transparent -another word- first time I saw that to he is defiantly something special and I liked it.

"Thank you very much but please keep me a secret ok I don't want anyone else to know about me being here ok?"

"Yes now that we have gone through all that may I know yer name miss-"

I interrupted him, "Ditzy...Ditzy Doo."

"Hi miss Doo I'm big Macintosh or just Mac." He gave a smile and for the first time in a while I gave a small giggle in return.

"Now miss Doo dig in!" As soon as those words left his mouth I attacked the plate knocking him down with it I devoured the whole dozen on one plate he managed to have six muffins on his plate before I was upon him."

We shared laughs we laid there all day talking to each other about our lives he didn't have many stories but each one he told me I clung to enjoying the thought of having a friend but honestly I felt more for him all through the night his light his aura kept changing it was amazing to watch. He didn't have another bed so he let me sleep in his bed made out of hay but late at night while he slept I snuck into the guess room and snuggled up next to him if he wonders why i'll just say it was cold.
