//-------------------------------------------------------// Power -by conTROLLER234- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1 Power chapter 1 The beginning You were born with a strange and powerful gift. To do what no other person in the world could think of or do. To see different things. Though with great power comes great responsibility. Because with power, it can betray you. It may hurt someone or do something you don't want to do. Over time you must learn to control it, or you will be a monster. As you grow up, you learn more about your power and what you could do. But you realize that you had to keep it a secret as you grew older, and up to this very moment... you failed. You wake up fresh in your bed and filled your lungs with morning air. You look over at your clock, 6:26. You woke up before your alarm. Even though it was early, It felt good. Maybe because you didn't wake up to a constant beeping sound. You smile, time for another day. You get up and stretch, looking down at your bed. It was a mess. You decide to leave it for later, once you’re up and about. You slowly skid your feet across the cold floor, eyes barely open, towards the kitchen and open the fridge to grab some milk. You place it on the table and grabbed some cereal and a spoon. You slump down in your chair and listen to the silence. You loved the quiet, but you never really liked to be alone. Which for some people is really hard to combine. Especially with your friends being so loud. Just as you start eating, you hear the alarm go off and you hear your brother groan. And with a snap of your fingers, the alarm shuts off. Yes, you have many powers and you probably still haven't figured them all out to this day. Though one power, your most powerful power, was the ability... To stop time and roam around while everything is stopped. You can almost do anything. You can go forward or back into the future. It feels great to have so much power, and you’ve learned to control it. So blah blah blah you go to school, do stuff, 'learn', and you come home. And for some reason you watch and read a lot of pony stuff online. Like human going to Equestria fan fics. And you remember all the time while reading those and writing those stories, you would give anything to go there, to be there. And one night, you just couldn't sleep. So many things stirred in your mind about Equestria, and you just couldn't forget about it. So you get an idea. Though it was crazy, you had to try it. You leave a note saying 'I will be gone for a while, don't worry I will be ok,' Thank goodness it was summer, and today was the last day of school. 'I have my watch, I will be back sometime soon. Anon.” And you put down the paper and pencil. They were usually ok with this, because with your power you are very strong and they trusted you. Besides, you could take care of yourself. You put your shoes on and a coat and you always had your trusty pocket knife on you, just in case. Not that you ever really needed it. Because with your power, depending on what you use, uses up energy. Like for say levitation, doesn't take a lot of energy. But If you tried something extreme, like trying to speed up the rotation of the earth to speed up the day, would either drain you dry or almost kill you. So you still had to be careful. Luckily, you always had something with you to boost your energy. Like sugar, or an energy drink. Or a special adrenaline drink you made to make you from wanting to die to feeling like the king of the universe. But you only use them in extreme cases. So enough about you. You walk outside to your backyard and stand there concentrating. Listening to the wind and your heartbeat. Suddenly, you start to feel the wind pick up more intensively around you as clouds formed like a hurricane would. You start to levitate and see a bright light leak through your eyelids. You feel your muscles tensing and feel a nose bleed break out. You start getting a huge headache, like if you had a brain freeze from drinking a slurppee and kept drinking otherwise. That's what it felt like. Your body felt like it was going to rip in half. You wanted to stop, to forget about it and just stay home and not leave. But you couldn't. You open your eyes in horror and then everything stopped. It was quiet and you felt calm. You feel cold, wet leaves on your back. The quietness relaxed you of your pain and hyperventilating. you open your eyes. Everything was dark. You quickly sit up, flinching a bit from pain, only hearing crickets in the distance. You get up and try to remember what happened. ...You quickly realize that you can’t remember anything. Where you are, who you are...You sit there panicking. You take a deep breath, and look around. Everything was dark. You look up to see stars and a dark, blue beautiful sky. You feel around your pants for your phone so you could use the flash light. You feel it and pull it out of your pocket, then let out a shaky exhale of relief. Only 10 percent charge left, in response, you let out a frustrated groan, with a hint of fear. You use what you can and head out, with no idea where you were going. After a while of walking you soon realize that you were in the middle of some forest. But where? You had never seen this place before. After about 5 more minutes of walking, your flashlight turns off along with the rest of the piece of technology. "Great, now what?" You ask yourself aloud. You suddenly hear growling. You stop walking. You hear the crunching of leaves behind you and you book it. With no idea where you were going, you bump into a few trees and bushes but you finally see a light at the end of the forest. One of the creatures jump out in front of you, sinking in claw deep into your chest and through your shirt, almost tearing it and you in two. Your eyes start to analyze the darkness and find that you were completely surrounded by the creatures. One of them leaps out at you and you one-foot jump off of a tree, (Tic tac if you know parkour) and you run. After several minutes which felt like hours of running you finally outrun them. You stop to catch your breath and continue walking; or staggering. After some more time of walking, you feel as if you were about to pass out. You were drained dry of energy, but just as you were about to fall to the ground in defeat, a small house comes into your vision. More of a cottage really. You walk towards it but trip on a branch. You fall face first into the grass, not having enough energy to catch yourself or get up. You eventually pass out lying there, but wake up somewhere else. You slowly open your eyes and look around the room. Your eyes lead down to look at your shirt at where the rip had been, the whole shirt was stained with blood and your skin was roughly dried from the blood. You have dry blood streams on your face from you’re assuming a nose bleed. You go to rub your eyes with your hands when you suddenly feel something wrapped around your wrist, keeping it from moving. The same with your other hand. You stare at them, shocked. And the same with your feet too. You start rocking the bed you are in. "What the hell? Where am I?!" You scream as you start to panic. You suddenly hear a door open and then footsteps, but more surprisingly sounding like… hoofsteps, coming towards you. Your heart starts beating frantically. You breathe heavier as the footsteps got louder, and louder and you close your eyes when the object entered the room. You crack open your eyes very slightly and slowly and your eyes meet... A, pony? Or pegasus? You were relieved. But then a bit confused. The pegasus looked at the floor and scooted around the bed. "Hey, do you mind telling me why I'm shackled up like I'm a experiment for something?" You ask urgently and shake your wrists and ankles. There was silence. You look up at the pony and she looks away from you. "Hello?!" You urge again, raising your voice a bit. You hear some mumbles as if she was trying to say something. You try to make it out. "Uh, what did you say?" You asked, all ears. "I was just trying to help..." It said. You barely make out what she said but you heard her. You look at your ripped shirt and pull it up with your teeth, and see that you have bandages around your chest and waist. "Oh, thank you. But would you do me a favour and let me go please?" You ask a bit more politely. She slowly scoots over to you and undoes the shackles on your wrists and ankles. You rub them in response and sit on the edge of the bed. You try to get up but your legs won’t move and you collapse back on the bed. "Please, you need more rest. You should stay in bed. If you don't mind..." She squealed. She was very polite, in a weird way. But you like her. You for some reason didn't mind the fact that you were in a room with a talking pony, you just wanted to get home somehow now. "I just have a question..." You ask looking at her and around the room. "Y-yes?" She answered, curling up into a tight ball. You have to admit, she was kinda adorable. You didn't want to sound weird but, but you- ugh, never mind. You pause for a second and then ask: "Where am I?" She looked at you funny and giggled. "Oh, I'm guessing your not from around here, are you?" She asked looking at you with her giant... Eyes... Adorable. What? You didn't say anything, what are you talking about?-moving on. You shake your head no. "Well, you're in Equestria. Ponyville to be exact." She blushed. "What happened to you? I found you at the edge of the Everfree forest. And you were passed out and bleeding so I took you inside and fixed you up. I'm sorry if I scared you..." She said as she looked down. "Well, I remember waking up in, the Everfree forest I guess. And I couldn't remember anything. So I started walking, and then I got chased by these, wooden creatures. I don't know, I didn't really get a good look. So I out ran them and passed out and you found me." You say, poking at the bandages around your waist. "Oh, my." She covered her mouth with a hoof. "Well it's good you found me when you did. I would've bled out if you didn't come along." She looked away to try to hide her glow. The conversation went from an awkward turn to an awkward silence. "Well, you should get some rest. I'm going to get a nurse to fix you up tomorrow morning." She said as she got up off the bed. You nod and lay your head on the pillow. As soon as you did, you realize that the bed was kinda small. But you didn't really care. As long as you had a place to sleep with a roof over your head, you should be alright. Even if in a world with talking ponies... You should be alright. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2 Power chapter 2 You wake up again in the same bed with your spine aching. You groan, and look around the room. You find yourself inches away from a face, causing you to quickly move back. The yellow pegasus was in the room, along with a purple unicorn and another white unicorn. They all stare at you in silence. The purple unicorn looked very amused for some reason. "Uhh, hello..?" You say slowly. The purple unicorn jumped. "Hi! I'm Twilight Sparkle. What's your name?" You sit frozen in the spot on the bed, shocked. You look at the other ponies and they stood there, waiting for an answer. "Uhh, my n-name is... Uhh, I... I can't..." You mumble to yourself, rubbing your head. Trying to remember. Just as the unicorn was about to speak, she was cut off by the pegasus. "Umm, he, t-told me he couldn't re-remember anything." She said quietly. "Amnesia?" The nurse asked, you nod your head. "Oh, I might have a spell for that back at the library! Is he mobile?" Twilight asked the nurse. "Well, he needs lots of rest, but I think he'll live." The nurse looked back at you for your opinion. You sigh and rub your forehead with your hands. You can’t believe or understand what was going on. But, if she was going to help you, it was worth a shot. You nod back to Twilight Sparkle and the nurse, then sit up at the edge of the bed and stretch. "Ow," You flinch rubbing your back. The yellow pegasus looked away, hiding her face. You get up, feet aching, and put on your socks and shoes. "Lead the way..." You mumble to Twilight. She trotted out of the room. You notice you have bandages on your legs too. You sort of had to speed-walk outside to keep up with her trotting, and can't help but notice there were no other people, or ponies around. It was very early in the morning. You both walk for a while and she started talking. "So... Where are you from? What species are you? I have so many questions!" She asked looking at you like she had too much sugar. You look back at her, and clear your throat. "I don't know... So I'm hoping you can help me. I don't know how I got here, and I have this huge headache-" You suddenly hear someone from above say something. "WOAH, what is that?!" You turn around to see nothing. But you look up and see a cyan blue pegasus charging towards you. You quickly dive roll out of the way, turn around and she dashed to the ground and to look at you, challenging look on her face. You give her the same look. She charges at you with great speed, and you do the same, her hooves stretched out to attack. "Rainbow dash stop! He's safe!" You hear Twilight yell. The rainbow maned pegasus didn't listen. She kept charging. You don’t want to attack because one, you aren’t in the condition. So you choose to dodge again. As she was very close you make a quick decision and side-flip over her, making her go right under you and stop a few metres away. She grinned and growled at the same time. She got ready for another attack when Twilight jumped between the two of you. "Rainbow stop! He's not gonna hurt us! He needs our help!" She said looking worried. You and Rainbow both look at each other and then she spoke. "What is it?" She asked tilting her head. You cross your arms and blow air through your nose. "It doesn't matter. He's suffered amnesia and he needs my help getting his memory back." Twilight explained as she continued walking towards her house. You and Rainbow dash continually look at eachother and follow Twilight. Rainbow followed along with you, suspiciously giving you the evil eye. You don’t really like her attitude, but people are different... Or, ponies you guess... Ugh, you’re going to have to get used to this. You follow Twilight to a giant tree house, looking like a library from the inside. She opened a door to go down stairs into the basement, and you hesitate until Rainbow dash shoves you and you continue. Inside the basement were tons and tons of equipment and machinery. Twilight gives you some sort of hat. "Here, put this on, and clear your mind as much as possible." She told. Which was kind of hard to do with Rainbow dash staring at you. You close your eyes, even though you sense her watching. You suddenly feel your headache disappear, which was a relief. And after a while you start to remember somethings, your name, who you are. And what you did before you appeared in the forest. You hear Twilight concentrating. And she stopped and you open your eyes, she was breathing hard and you take off the helmet. "Are you ok?" You ask, rubbing your head. "Yeah, I'm, I'm fine. Did it work? Can you remember anything?" She asked catching her breath. "Yeah, I can remember something. My name is, Anonymous, a human being..." You start. "Good! Anything else?" Twilight said lightening up a bit. "I, I remember what happened before I got here. I was trying, to... To go somewhere, maybe here but I can't remember, why." You say forcing your eyes closed, trying to remember. "But, there was one more thing... I, think I have... Some sort of, power..." You hesitate, looking at Twilight. "Phft, yeah right." Rainbow dash rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, hooves... Damn it. "Well, what kind of power? Can you do anything?" Twilight asked tilting her head. You concentrate, and try doing what in some sort of way feels right, and try to move something, a book on the shelf comes into sight. You use your hand as to levitate it. It started to float and move off the shelf, and in dropped it in your slightly shaking hands. You look at Twilight then Rainbow dash with a surprised look on your face. There was a small silence until you hear Rainbow dash clear her throat. "Phft, that's easy, Twilight can do that with a Ursa Minor. I bet you can't fly!" Rainbow boasted, floating in the air. You close your eyes to concentrate again. A small breeze picked up in the room and you start to levitate in the air. A small nose bleed broke out again, and you fall to the ground on your hands and knees. "I-I'm just weak..." You say, getting back up. Rainbow dash rolls her eyes with the, 'yeah right' look. You glare at her, grunting. You wipe your nose with your shirt, and it stained along with the rest of the blood. "Are you alright?" Twilight asked, walking towards you. "Nah, I'm fine." You say wiping your shirt, spreading the blood and some appears on your hands. "I just need a shower or something to wash me off." You sigh looking at your hands with blood on them. "And maybe a change of clothes." You say wryly, lifting up your bloody ripped shirt. It looks like you just came back from a murder spree. "Well, I have a shower here that you can use, and Rarity can-" Twilight stopped as she looked out the door. “Uhh, maybe you should stay here, ponies might find you... Odd." She blushed. You nod, looking down. "Hey, I have other friends who might want to meet you. You can have a shower and I’ll be right back with my other friends." She smiled as she pointed with her hoof up the stairs. She waved good bye and you do the same back. She closed the door behind her and the house was silent, with you and Rainbow dash staring at each other, awkwardly. "I, uh..-" You start, "you have a lot of talent with those, wings..." You stutter, looking at her and fiddling with your hands. "Thanks," She sat up, flapping her wings a couple of times. "Same with you, well. with your... Um," She said confused. "Legs." You correct her. "Yeah..." She bit her lip and looked around the room. “Well, I guess I'll have a shower now, I kinda need it." You break the silence, walking up the stairs. "Yeah, ok. Oh and wait..." She said biting her lip. You turn around to face her. "Yeah?" "I just wanted to... A... Apologize, for..." She mumbled roughly and quiet. "It's fine. Apology accepted." You quickly wave then head upstairs. She giggled then thanked you, but she tells you she would be staying here till everyone.. Everypony else arrived. You walk upstairs and into the bathroom. You remove your clothes and bandages and stare at the wounds for a while, then hop in the shower. It was a bit different from back home, but you manage. You put your shirt back on, but it practically fell off so you don't bother. You sling the shirt over one shoulder and walk out of the bathroom and to the top of the stairs. A bunch of eyes turn to you as you stare back down on them. You try not to blush but your cheeks turned a light red. They smile, and the orange pony with the hat started talking. "Heh, heh! Some pony has some muscles!" She said pointing her hoof at your chest." You blush a brighter red. "And that nasty scar too,~" The white unicorn with a purple mane growled playfully. You quickly put the shirt on, though it didn't really make a difference, but it made you feel slightly more comfortable. You suddenly hear a loud gasp from a pony who burst through the front door. A bright pink coloured pony with no wings or horn. She ran so fast up the stairs her legs became a blur and she leaps at you. You both flew through a door and into a bedroom and land on a bed. You hear a crack in your back, which felt kinda good, but the position you were in was kinda awkward if you thought about it. She pressed her muzzle up against your nose and smiled with a huge grin. The rest of the ponies rushed upstairs and start to laugh. The pink pony started to talk really, really fast. The only words you could make out we're balloons, cake, and oatmeal. And at the end she introduced her self. "And my names Pinkie pie! What's yours?" She took in a huge breath and ended with a squee sound. You open your mouth to speak but nothing come out. "Uhh..." You force out, confused, not knowing what to say. "Pinkie! Get off ah him!" The freckled pony said in between breaths. Pinkie pie jumped off of you, still smiling. "Ow!" You try to hold in, covering your chest against anything else to attack you. You are breathing hard still from the, ambush you guess you could call it. You get up and find all the ponies still staring at you. "You must get a new shirt! That is simply ripped to shreds, and I don't know if the shirt was coloured red or not..." The swirly maned unicorn said, walking closer towards you and lifting off your shirt with her magic. You don't blush thankfully due to not making any eye contact with any of the other ponies, and with your eyes on the unicorn with the old bloody ripped up rag. "Hmm, I might be able to make something off of this. I'll make it as fast as I can, but for now your shirtless. Hopefully that won't be a problem for you. It certainly isn't for me~..." She said with a smile while biting her lip. You look back at the other ponies sarcastically laughing lightly, clenching your teeth. "Ah! Where are mah manners? My names Applejack. 'N this here's Rainbow dash, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie pie." Applejack said pointing to each of the ponies. "My name’s Anonymous. You guys have cool names." You say looking at each of the ponies but then stop at Pinkie pie because of the constant squirming she had been doing ever since she got off of you. "Uhh, Pinkie pie? Are you ok?" You ask, walking towards her. Pinkie looked at Applejack and Aj nodded. Pinkie pie jumped up in the air and yelled, "THIS CALLS FOR A PARTY!" And disappeared down the stairs, Applejack chasing after her and yelling Pinkies name. You all stare at each other, and you look at Twilight and she shrugged her shoulders. "Well, I guess while almost every pony is here, we can kinda get to know each other. So first, lets talk about your... Special talent I guess?" Twilight said looking at you while tilting her head. "Special talent?" Rarity asked, not paying much attention to you, but more to the shirt. "So he has super powers big deal!" Rainbow dash groaned, rolling her eyes. Rarity suddenly stopped examining shirt and dropped it to the ground, jaw open, and Fluttershy's eyes widened. They both gasped at the same time, and you hear Pinkie pie and Applejack from down stairs both gasp, and you hear hoof steps rush up the stairs and Pinkie stopped in the doorway. "What kind of super powers?!" She asked intensely. "Well, I can levitate objects and myself so far..." You shrug your shoulders, bracing for impact again since Pinkie pie was excited again. All the ponies in the room were silent with their eyes widened except for Rainbow and Twilight. The room was quiet until Twilight started talking again. "Well... Anything else about you? Or can you not remember?" She asked. You shake your head no. "Well, I'll try to get this shirt done as quickly as possible and get it back to you but for now it's probably best if you stay inside." Rarity explained, looking at the ripped up shirt. "Thanks Rarity." You thank, nodding your head. She trotted down the stairs with her head held high. The rest of the ponies followed behind her with you and Rainbow dash at the back. You both went to the door and both stop in the doorway. You wave your hands out the door inviting her out. "Ladies first!" You smile and swallow hard, sweating a bit. "Or would it be mares?" You start thinking to yourself and notice Rainbows cheeks turn a light red and she giggled as she exited the room. She drags you along with her and you follow her and meet the rest of the crowd downstairs. Everypony left but you, Rainbow dash, and Twilight. You and Rainbow both sit down at the table and watched Twi. "Rainbow, are you staying for breakfast?" She asked, but eyes still on the food. Rainbow paused. "Oh, uhh sure." Dash replied, looking around the room. "So Anon, unless at night you want to go back over to Fluttershys, you're fine to stay here for the night if you want to. Because I don't think you want to go out now..." Twilight explained, trotting over to the table. "If that's not a problem then thank you." You look at the plate in front of you. "Absolutely! Also, I hope you like eggs and toast, I'm kinda out of food, I have to go shopping today." She said as she sat down. "No it looks delicious!" You complement, pulling your chair in. The chairs were a lot different from the ones back on earth, so it was hard to get comfortable. You take a bite of the eggs. It tasted so good, like nothing you've ever had before. Twilight was watching you eat, waiting for a reaction. "Wow Twilight, this is really good! Probably the best eggs I've ever had!" You compliment, then taking another bite. She looked down and blushed, playing with her food. "Oh, thank you! It's nice to hear that every once in a while." After you all finish breakfast, Twilight cleaned up the dishes and walked towards the door. "I'm heading out to go shopping. You two staying here?" She asked opening the door. You and Rainbow both look at each other and nod. Twilight does the same back and closes the door behind her. You both get up from the table and sit down on the floor, wondering what to do. You look over at Rainbow and start the conversation. "So, you look like a cool pony, what's going on in your life?" You ask. She lay on her back and stared at the ceiling. "Uhh, not much really, I'm just not busy at all really this week, just being awesome, You?" She asked, turning her head towards you with a bit of a sparkle in her eyes. "Nothing I can remember, I won't have much to do either. I'd go out and do something, maybe practice a bit, get some fresh air, but obviously I can't." You sigh and lay your head down on the floor. "Practice what? Flying?" She asked in a cracky voice. "No, but maybe that. I was thinking parkour. That's what I was doing to dodge... you know." You mumble, twiddling your thumbs. "Yeah, sorry about that... It was kinda just a, ‘defending my friends’ kinda reflect." She lightly laughed and she sat up, rubbing the back of her head. "Don't worry about it. So I guess you've got better things to do? I won't keep you from anything." You stretch, then stand up. "Nah. I'd ask if you wanted to hang with me, but unless its in here we can't do much... But yeah, I might come back later, 'till then?" She asked flying towards the door. "'Till then." You nod your head and she smiled, then flew off out the door. You sigh and sit back down in the chair. Huh, one moment she acts like she hates your guts then acts like a close friend. What to do... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3 Power chapter 3 After a long time of moping and waiting around for Twilight to get back, you decide to practice your powers, inside. But try not to wreck anything. You get up on your feet and try to fly again. You stand in the middle of the room and focus. A slight breeze starts to pick up and you started to levitate higher and higher until you were about 3 feet off the ground. You try harder and harder to get higher until you concentrated too hard and with a burst of air and speed, sent you flying towards the ceiling. You open your eyes to see that you’re facing the floor. Even though you try hard to get yourself onto the ground again, you were stuck there. Great. You were bored on the ground, now you’re stuck and bored on the ceiling. Suddenly the door opened and Twilight walked in, covered in water. She shook her mane out like a wet dog then scanned the room. "Anon? Anon are you here?" She asked while putting her groceries down on the floor. "Yeah... I'm here..." You yell. She looked around the room. "Where are you?" She asked again looking around the room and walking up the stairs. "No I'm over... Here." You try to say but she disappeared to the bedroom. You close your eyes and sigh in defeat, when you suddenly start to fall. You open your eyes and try to catch yourself before you come to contact with the floor, but the effort was useless and you hit the floor, face first. "Omf!" Your body forced out and you lay there, groaning. Twilight came rushing down the stairs. "Oh, are you alright? Where were you?" She said trotting down to you to help you up. You take her hoof and use her support to get up. You point to the ceiling, still holding your stomach in slight pain and she opened her mouth to say something, when she saw something out the window. "Is, is that Applejack and Rarity?" She asked aloud while trotting towards the window. "Hey Twilight, what’s with the big storm-proofing the place outside anyway?" You ask, she ignored and opened the door. "APPLEJACK! RARITY!" She yelled twice, inviting them inside as the storm raged. "Come inside girls!" She yelled again. You see Applejack and Rarity both run towards the house. Rarity walked inside, thanking Twilight, but Applejack stopped. "Wait a second, is 'nside ah tree, really the best place 't be in ah lightnin’ storm?" She asked standing in the doorway, shivering. "It is if you have a protection spell around it like I do. Come on in!" Twilight smiled, walking back inside. "Well, thank you very dearly Twilight-" Rarity paused and looked then pointed at Applejacks hooves. "Do be a dear and go wash off?" Rarity grinned as she pointed to the hose outside. You hear Applejack mumble something, but couldn’t make out what she said. "So back to what I was saying... What were you doing on the ceiling?" Twilight looked at you and so did Rarity, confused. "He was on the ceiling? Why?" She asked as she darted her eyes to Twilight then you. "Exactly. Why?" Twilight asked again. They were looking at you as if they were cops and you were some kind of criminal and they were trying to break you, as if you did something terribly wrong. And after all this pressure, you were starting to feel as if you did. You take in a deep breath, "After you and Rainbow dash left, I was really bored so I thought I could try practicing my flying again. I tried and tried until I somehow got stuck on the ceiling and then fell afterwards." You let out as you shuffle your feet. They both look at each other and then Twilight spoke. "Well then. Some storm huh? The pegasus ponies really outdid themselves this time. I hope you and Applejack don't have trouble getting home." Twilight looked out the window. "That, may be a bit of a problem." Rarity said, kicking her hooves around. "Well, your welcome to stay here with me. Spike is in Canterlot on royal business, so I'm all alone tonight, well, me and Anon of course." She looked at you with a sheepish smile, then suddenly gasped. "You and Applejack should totally sleep over! We’ll have a slumber party! I've always wanted one of those!" She said jumping up and down. Rarity paused for a moment and then spoke "Oh, goodness...uhh, I do believe I have another engagement schedule this evening that completely slipped my mind just now, hahaha. Oh silly me I can't possibly stay here all night... With Applejack." She said looking behind her. Twilight ignored her and trotted up to her bookshelf and pulled out a book and showed it to Rarity. "Slumber 101," She read aloud. "All you've wanted to know about slumber parties but were afraid to ask." "My own personal copy! It's a fantastic reference guide, you should see the table of contents! I've been waiting to use it and tonight's the night! This is gonna be so great!" Twilight smiled and looked down at Rarity. Rarity looked at you and you shrug you shoulders. "Yes, great. Hahahahaha," She laughed sarcastically and looked out the window at Applejack. She sighed and rolled her eyes. After a moment Twlight got out some supplies from her bedroom and brought it out. "What's that for?" You and Rarity both ask at the same time, and look at each other in slight embarrassment. "A mud mask!" Twilight said sitting down by Rarity and starting on her face. You really didn't want to be apart of this so you didn't know weather to run or stay and hope she didn't want you to a be apart of it. When Twilight was done with Rarity, she looked and walked towards you, holding the plate with green mud on it up in the air with her magic. She smiled widely as she walked towards you. You quickly dart your eyes side to side, looking for something to maybe distract her with. "I-I, think I might pass on this one Twilight." You say with a smile. She looks at you sadly. You couldn't see her like this...because, she was just, just to... "*Sigh* fine I'll do it." You give in. You remember doing this kind of stuff in your past at a sleepover at a girls house. If you ever have had one at a girls house, be prepared to do this kind of stuff. Because if you don't, everyone there won't speak to you for the rest of the night most likely. It may be different here but you don’t want to take the chances. She smiled brightly and you closed your eyes. You feel her hoof press the cold mud onto your face, and you scrunch up your face for a second then are relaxed. After a few moments, you hear her get up and walk back over to Rarity as she started on Twilight’s face. Just at the time you see Applejack walk back inside. She looked up at Rarity and Twilight and gasped loudly. "What in tarnation?" She asked out loud at the both of them as Rarity was finishing up on Twilights face. "Now wait just a gal darn minute. You make me wash the mud off my hooves, but its ok for y'all to have mud all over your faces?" She asked throwing her hoof in the air. "Silly. This is called a mud mask. It's to refresh and rejuvenate your completion." Rarity said smiling at Applejack. "We're giving each other makeovers!" Twilight giggled. "We have to do it! It says so in the book." She said showing the book to Applejack. "Slumber 101, everything you-" Applejack suddenly paused and rushed for the door. "Oh hay, would yah look at the time, I gotta skedaddle on home quick, I'm mighty late, for uh, for somethin'. 'Gnight!" She yelled as she ran outside, but then came back a few seconds later, due to the thunder and lightning. "Or, maybe I'll sit here for the night." She said with a worried look on her face. "Hurray slumber party!" Twilight cheered clapping her hooves together. You and Applejack look at each other and she covered her mouth and tried not to laugh because you were in on it to. You frown and run your fingers through your hair. You look back up at her as she then had green mud on her face. She turned her head towards you and you smile, raising an eyebrow. She stared at you and growled until she had cucumber slices thrown on her eyes and she turned her attention away from you. "What in the world is this for?" She said turning her head around the room. "*Sigh* to reduce the puffiness in ones eyes of course..." Rarity rolled her eyes at Applejack. "Puffiness, shmuffiness!" Aj laughed as she used her tongue to pick the slices of cucumber off of her eyes. "That's good eatin'!" She continued to chew and then swallow. Rarity stared at Applejack and then turned her eyes to Twilight who was giggling and reading more of the book. "Isn't this exiting? We'll do everything by the book and that will make my slumber party officially fun!" She said clapping her hooves together again. "Did you hear that Applejack? You certainly would not want to do anything that would ruin Twilights first slumber party... Would you?" she said inching her head closer to Applejack to make her point. "Of course not, and you wouldn't either I reckon." Applejack said frowning. "So do we have an agreement?" "You betcha'" Applejack agreed then spat on her hoof and stretched it out to shake on it. "Ahh! Gross! You know, there's messy, and there's just, playing rude!" Rarity whispered loudly. "Ya know, there's fussy, and there's just playin' gettin' on mah nerves!" Applejack said angrily. "Fortunately I can deal with anypony no matter how difficult she, may be!" "Oh yeah? Well, I'm the most, get-alongest pony your ever gonna meet!" Applejack suddenly looked at you. "Right Anon?" Rarity looked at you too. You decided you didn't really want to be apart of this so you kinda just back away, not saying anything. "This is gonna be the best slumber party ever, yay!" Twilight came along and broke up the argument, thankfully. You hear Applejack and Rarity both mumble 'yay' and then look at each other furiously. After a long time of talking, reading and arguing you all finally finish... With the first thing on the book. "How are you getting along over there, Applejack?" Rarity asked, batting her eyes a few times. "Just fine, Rarity..." Aj said, tired like. "Perfect! Makeovers, check!" Twilight beamed and checked a box in the book with a quilt. She used her magic to make all the stuff for make overs on you disappear. Your face suddenly felt a lot lighter. You didn't know what you were doing next so you went over to Twilight to look at the book. You were hoping these ponies here weren't like your friends at school who would make fun of you from nothing just for a laugh. So what ever you were doing next, unless it was something like make overs again, you were down for it. "What's next?" You ask Twilight, leaning over her shoulder. "Ooh, it says that we have to tell ghost stories. Who wants to go first?” You immediately start to think of something from back home that would be scary. You remember a couple, but the ponies here may not really understand it. But before you could say anything, Applejack raised her hoof and yelled: "ME! I'd like ta tell y'all of the terrifyin' tale, of the prissy ghost. Who drove every pony crazy with her unnecessary neatness! Ooohh!" Applejack said in a scary tone. "I'm sure y'all are familiar with that one?" Applejack asked sarcastically, looking at Rarity. "Never heard of it. But I have a much, better one! It's the horrifying story, of the messy -inconsiderate coast, who irritated everypony within a hundred miles! Ooooohhhoh!" Rarity said spooky like. "That's not a real story, you made it up!" "It is a ghost story, they're all made up!" Rarity quickly said back at Applejack. Which still made you think of all the fake and maybe real stories back home, it's still a mystery. Suddenly, all the lights went out with the sound of thunder. You all gasp, and then there is a small source of light coming from a lamp Twilight had in the middle of the floor where you are all sitting. "I've got one! This story is called, the legend of the headless horse. It was a dark, and stormy night, just like this one. And three ponies were having a slumber party, just like this one..." You look at Twilight and cross your arms. Not that you really wanted to be here, but now they were acting as if you weren't. And now you wanted to be a part of it... Cleaver girls. She told most of the story and she continued up till here: "And just when the last pony thought she was safe. There, standing right behind her, inches away was..." Now you have to admit, Twilight was a good story teller. You told stories like this to your friends all the time, so you kinda wanted to tell one of them to the ponies a bit. But Twilight was actually making you shake a bit, you were a lot closer to Applejack than before. "THE HEADLESS HORSE!" Twilight yelled and caught you off guard. Lightning flashed and Twilight had a blanket over her head, as if she had no head. The lights turned back on and Twilight poked her head out from under the blanket and looked at Rarity and Applejack, who were hugging each other from horror. Twilight walked back over to the book. "Ghost stories, check!" She said. You guess you couldn't tell your story, it was fine though, you just kinda wanted the night to be over. You look at the two hugging ponies and they both looked back then quickly unattached from each other, blushing. "Now, who wants smores?" Twilight asked. You look up at Twilight who went upstairs to get the supplies. You sit down at the table and Applejack started the fire, and Rarity sat down at the other end of the table, looking at you. You look up at her and she looked somewhat fascinated with you. "Uhh, is there something you want?" You request, rubbing your hands on your legs. "Oh no, nothing." She quickly looked away to Twilight who was trotting down the stairs and towards the table, put the supplies down and sat down on the chair. Rarity took out the ingredients to make a smore and showed Twilight how to make one. You take a marshmallow out of the bag and ate it and sigh through your nose. Rarity walked away and over to Applejack. "Did you want one Anon?" Twilight offered. "Sure, thanks Twilight." You thank her and take one. "You seem a bit unhappy. Is there something bothering you?" She asked, putting her hoof on your hand. You look up at her. "*Sigh* I know that I sort of, well, I wasn't really, sort of invited to this sleep over, but I sort of seem like I'm...left out. I-I, just feel selfish for thinking it really..." You confess, while grasping her hoof in your hand. She blushed and slowly started talking. "Anon... Your not left out, we want you here as much as we want each other here." She answered politely. You look behind her at Applejack and Rarity, who were arguing again. "What's next in the book?" You asked, then taking a bite of the smore. She pulled out the book and put her head next to yours so you could both read it. "It says, truth or dare!" She read aloud as Applejack and Rarity walked over beside us. Rarity suddenly smiled. "I dare Applejack to do something careful and neatly for a change." She said looking at Applejack. "Oh yeah? Well I dare Rarity to lighten up, and stop obsessin' over every last little detail, for a change." Applejack shot back at Rarity. "I think the truth of the matter is that somepony could stand to pay a little more attention to the detail." "And I think the truth, is some pony outta quit with her fussin', while the rest of us get things done." They both glared at each other. "Uhh, I don't think this is how the game is supposed to work. You have to give an honest answer to any question or do what ever anypony dares you to do." Twilight then stopped reading. "Hey, I used to play this game with my friends too! Not that it turned out very well, especially with the kind of friends I had..." You mumble. Twilight looked over at you, and you are looking at the ground. "I dares you! To step outside, and let your precious tidy mane get ruined again!" Aj said confidently smiling. Rarity gasped and growled at Applejack. "You have to! It's the rules." Twilight said to the both of them. Applejack let out a big laugh at Rarity. "Fine!" She yelled as she walked towards the door. She opened the door and Applejack was still laughing. You chuckle a bit and look at Twilight, she had a serious look on her face. You immediately stop and looked over at Rarity, who had long, straight, wet hair and she was shivering just inside the door, dripping with water. She walked towards Applejack and she stopped laughing and stuttered backwards. "Ok. I dare Applejack to play dress up! In a fru fru glittering lace outfit!" Applejack gasped loudly. And walked upstairs to the bedroom. You have a frown on your face. "What's wrong Anon?" Twilight asked. "Well, not that there’s nothing really wrong with this, but you guys act as if this stuff is so bad. I mean the stuff I did for truth or dare back on earth would be from going outside in just your underwear, knocking on a door and saying trick or treat in the middle of December, to having to make out with someone else." You shrug, looking over at the door Applejack was inside. "Well, we can play that way if you'd like~" Twilight said slowly with a grin on her face, biting her bottom lip. Your heart rate started picking up and you look over at Rarity, she had caught on to what Twilight was saying and had the same look in her face. You look over at the door just in case you needed to use it. Right now you'd rather take your risks out there than in here. You look to the top of the stairs and Applejack had overheard you talking, her jaw dropped. "I'm just kidding Anon! Seriously I'm not that mean.~" Twilight said looking over at Applejack. Aj walked over to Rarity. "Happy?" She asked furiously. "Very, hmpf." Rarity slightly giggled. Applejack quickly glanced over at you and trotted over. "Alright mister confidence! y’all wanna play your way? Then we will! I dare you..." She said with her hoof to her chin, looking around the room for something. She grunted, looking for something. Her face suddenly lightened up as she looked out the window. "Aha! Ah dares you, tah go outside, and play slip 'n slide in the mud!" She said walking towards you with a big smile on her face. "No problem!" You accept as you walked towards the door. "Applejack, we were just kidding around! I can't believe you're making him do this!" Twilight raged, stomping her hoof. "No it's fine Twilight, I've done worse. But just be prepared Applejack. You wanna play my way? You'll get something you won't like!" You conform as you walk outside. Before you shut the door, you see a bit of regret in Applejacks face, making you crack a smile. You hear Rarity inside talking about your pants getting muddy. You look around and spot Applejacks face in the window and she pointed to a big, mud slide. From the door to the mud you had a lot of room for running speed. You start running faster and faster until you slip down onto your stomach and slide all the way to the end. You walk back to the door and waddle inside, chest and legs full of mud and rain water. "Alright applejack. I dare you to let me or all three of us go into the kitchen, take 3 liquids of any kind, mix it and YOU have to drink it!" You smile, looking at Applejacks face. Her face was filled with horror, as if someone had a gun to her head. "I'll be right back, and remember Applejack, you brought this on, you asked for it." You remind her as you walk into the kitchen, holding your arms slightly further away from your body. Both Twilight and Rarity followed. You all walk into the kitchen and Twilight started talking. "Anon, are you sure about this? Don't you think this is a little... Extreme?" She asked looking behind her at Applejack sitting on the floor, scared. "Oh it's not that bad. Besides, she brought this on herself. And we don't even have to make it that bad." You tell as you open the fridge. "I agree with Anon on this one, Applejack deserves this!" Rarity said as she threw her hoof in the air. "I'm not doing this in some kind of revenge. This is the biggest dare I do to all of my friends when they want to go that deep." You tell and then pull out three bottles onto the counter. One was a carton of milk, a jar of relish, and hot sauce. "We'll, just mix these together, warm it up and give it to her. But we can't tell her what's in it until after she drinks it, agreed?" You ask. They nod their heads, Twilight not so sure, but she trusted you. You look around the cabinets for a small glass and found one. You put it on the counter and opened the jar of relish and poured a very small amount into the cup. "Oh come on, you can use more than that!" Rarity said, using her magic to try to pour more into the cup. Her magic was strong but you manage to quickly put the cap back on before any more came out. "Rarity, we don't want to hurt her or make her sick. We only need a tiny bit, trust me." You explain, putting the relish back in the fridge. You open the carton of milk and pour a small amount into the cup, and same with the hot sauce. You put the rest of the ingredients back in the fridge. "Now, how can we heat it up? Do you have like a microwave around here or something?" You wonder, looking around the kitchen. "A micro-what?" Rarity asked tilting her head. "I have a spell that can heat it up, here." Twilight said, levitating it in the air. You see her horn glow a bit brighter and then she put it back on the counter. "There, it should just be warm. Feel the cup." She told. You pick it up and it was the perfect temperature. "This is perfect. Ok let's go." You tell as you all walk towards Applejack with the drink. Her eyes widen as you hand her the cup. You sit down across from her, so you could see her face clearly when she drank it. She slowly held the cup up to her mouth and she quickly chugged the drink whole. She shivered and put the cup down. "Blehh. What was in that?!" She demanded. "Well, there was milk, relish, and hot sauce." You grin as her face suddenly turned bright red and she rushed to the kitchen to get a glass of water. You couldn't help yourself and neither did Rarity. You both burst out laughing. You are rolling on the floor with laughter and Applejack walked back in. She looked at Twilight and sighed, shaking her head with a slight smile. "Well, we should move on to the next thing. Truth or dare, check!" Twilight complied as she read some more. Applejack came over and lay down beside you and bumped you with her hoof. You both smile at each other. "Pillow fight?" Twilight asked aloud, confused. She suddenly got a pillow to the side of the head and she fell over. You turn over at Rarity and Applejack, who were having a warfare with pillows. "Uhh, girls? Maybe we should it down a notch?" Twilight grumbled unstably. You grab a pillow as a shield and went to get Twilight out of the war zone. You went in covering as much as you could of you and Twilight, until you got hit in the face once, and then twice, and then kept getting hit. You started getting pissed from all the arguing and yelling from the two children. You suddenly feel a surge of energy go through your arms and they stretched out, forming a small force-field around you and Twilight. Applejack and Rarity both suddenly stopped. After they were calm, your arms fell back to your sides and you fell into the pool of pillows. Twilight helped you get back up and you rubbed your head. "Maybe we should just call it a night and get some sleep?" Twilight requested, looking at Rarity and Applejack then you. You all nod and walk up stairs. You all enter the bedroom and look at the two separate beds. "So, how is this gonna work?" You urge, looking at Twilight. "Well, Aj and Rarity could both share the guest bed, you could share my bed with me; If you’re comfortable with that." She grinned, studying you. Ugh, you don't want to be mean but this pony sure can make a moment awkward. "I'm kinda muddy, I can take another shower if you want." You yawn and scrape at your pants. "No its fine. Just wipe yourself down with a towel and put your pants in the bathroom. I'll wash them with the sheets tomorrow morning. I was gonna wash them anyways." She said pointing to her bed sheets. You shrug then walk into the bathroom and take off your pants. The mud that was on them dried so your pants were practically stiff. You hang them on the shower rod and grab a towel to roughly dry yourself. You were at least wearing some boxers so you would probably make it through the night. You stumble back into the bedroom and Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity were already in bed. You climb into Twilights bed and under the covers. Thankfully, her bed was slightly bigger than the one at Fluttershy's cottage, but your feet still slightly hung over the edge, so you had to curl up a bit to keep your feet warm, because they were already numb. You look across the room at Applejack and Rarity, who were still obviously arguing... Over the blanket. You turn away and go under the covers and so did Twilight. "Ugh, they've been arguing the entire time they've been here!" You whisper to her. You feel her hooves touch your legs as she got out from under the covers to finally say something to the arguing two. "Enough!" She yelled, levitating the book over to them both. "It says right here that the number one thing to do at a slumber party is to have fun. But thanks to you to, I can't check that off!" She grunted. "Ah've been trying my darnest tah get along!" Applejack started again. "No, because I've been trying, my best." Rarity continued. "No, it was me!" "No, it was I!" "Me!" "I!" "I, hope you’re happy! Both of you, You ruined my very first slumber party! The make overs, the smores, truth or dare, the pillow fight, I mean is there anything else that could possibly go wrong?!" Twilight raged, waving her hooves in the air. Suddenly a large sound of thunder boomed through the air, and lightning striked a tree just outside the window. "Sorry I asked..." Twilight mumbled as she hid behind the covers. You all run over to the window and gasp at the sight of the top of the tree, almost about to fall on a smaller house beside it. "Yah see? That's why we needed to take down all those loose branches in town. Not spiffy 'em up!" Aj accused. "But I-" Rarity tried. "Outta mah way missy, times a wastin'!" Applejack announced. She raced over to the window and opened it up. “You call that a BRANCH?!” You panick. She pulled out a rope and span it around in the air. "No wait, stop, stop!" Rarity yelled over the sound of the rain. "No waitin'! No stoppin'! No way!" Applejack then threw the other end of the rope at the tree that almost fell on the other house and stopped it. "Now that mah friends, is what we call, gettin' 'er done!" Applejack then yanked on the rope and the whole tree branch came crashing through the window and you all scream. "AHH! Oh I tried to tell you it would come crashing down in here!" Rarity yelled. "Well you shoulda tried harder!" Applejack argued back. She looked over at Twilight who was dizzy and shook her head. "I'm mighty sorry Twilight..." Applejack apologized. "It's... Well, it's not ok! There's a giant tree branch in my bedroom! And the book doesn't say anything about having a giant tree branch at your slumber party! Or at least I haven't found that entry yet!" She worried while flipping through her pages as she started panicking. Applejack turned her attention back to Rarity, who was cleaning up broken thing and books. "What 'n tarnation are y'all doin' over there?!" Applejack demanded. "Cleaning up a mess some pony made! Who was that? Oh yes! It's you!" Rarity screamed. Applejack looked at you. "Please tell me y'all will help me?" She asked you with worried eyes. "I won't be able to do much, but I'll do what I can." You pause. Applejack sighed and looked back over to Rarity to talk to her. You climb through the brush and over to Twilight, who was still looking through the book. "Twilight! I doubt it will say anything of this in the book, just help us clean this up please?" You yell over the storm. Either she didn't hear you or she ignored you and kept reading. You look over at Aj and Rarity, they were both talking and then nodded. You see Rarity's horn glow around the tree and then poof into little, pony figure shape bushes and branches. Applejack closed the window and you all sigh in relief. "Oh, where did these come from? They're not in the book either." Twilight smiled, looking back into the book. You all clean up the rest of the room and finally go back to bed. Rarity had a shower and Twilight wasn't dirty so they both shared the same bed, and you and Applejack shared the guest bed because you were the dirtiest. Through the night was fine until Applejack rolled over onto your arm and up to your shoulder and her face was inches away from yours, and your arm went numb… but other than that it was fine. You wake up with her face buried into your shoulder and drool all over your upper arm. You look overtop of her at your arm, which you are pretty sure hadn't gotten any blood the whole night. You try to move it around, thankfully it was alive, but still numb. You try to slowly pull your arm out from underneath her without her waking up but it wouldn't budge. You sigh and look at the other bed which was vacant. You could smell them cooking something delicious downstairs, and you were starving from all the, excitement you had yesterday. Trying a little more to move your arm just made Applejack move closer to you. Soon, you were getting desperate to get out. You feel like the guy from 127 hours, and you were getting close to cutting your arm off. Ok maybe you were a little over dramatic with that last line. After trying other different things, you end up just lying your head back onto the pillow, out of ideas. You didn't want to wake her up so you just waited for either Applejack to wake up, or Twilight or Rarity to come up and do it, or for you to starve to death, with the smell of breakfast taunting you. She kept snuggling closer to you until she was almost on top of you, almost pushing you off the bed, continuing to drool on your face. She finally woke up and stared at you with tired eyes. You had tried to go back to sleep but heard and felt her wake up. You open your eyes and she managed to look straight through your eyes and into your soul. "Mornin'" she said with a morning cracky voice, then licked your face which made you almost jump and she giggled. You sigh, then grin and reply good morning. She looked to the left of her and saw your arm. She quickly leaned up and looked at you. "Sorry, was ah on yer arm the whole night?" She asked blushing. You pull your arm out from under her and look at it. It was pale white and you notice all the blood rush back into it and it started to tingle. "No it's fine, I move around a lot in my sleep too so..." You tell as you wipe your shoulder with the blanket. She blushed brighter as she wiped her mouth from saliva. You both get up and stretch. She grabbed her hat, wiped off all the dirt and put it on and you grab your clothes then both walk down stairs. You all eat breakfast and then play a game of 20 questions. "Is it, bigger than a barn?" Applejack wondered. "Nope, guess again!" Twilight answered happily. "Is it smaller than a saddle?" Rarity asked. "Nope! Only 3 of your 20 questions left!" Twilight said, smiling. "Ugh, we're never gonna guess what yer thinkin'!" Applejack said irritated. "Are we getting warmer?" Rarity asked. "Why? Is it to cold in here? I can turn up the heat." Twilight said, about to get up. "She means are we getting any closer to the answer.” "Oh, well, no. But that technically counted as a question so only 2 left!" Twilight laughed. "Is it... a six legged pony with a purple polka-dotted mane with shootin' stars coming out of his eyes?" Applejack said quickly. "Who flies all over Equestria to hide magic sparkling eggs?" Rarity finished, looking at Twilight. You face-palm and listen for the answer. "That's it!" She yelled excitedly. You peek through your fingers at Twilight. "It is?" They both asked. "No... It's that." She corrected pointing to a telescope. "It was just so nice having you to work together and agree on something." She admitted, looking between the two. "If only some pony hadn't been so persniggity." Applejack started. "Well maybe she wouldn't if somepony else hadn't been so sloppy!" Rarity finished. "Sorry for being such a pain in the patootie." Applejack apologized. "Oh no I'm sure I was much worse." Rarity argued. "That's kind of ya ta say, but ahm the one who's sorry!" Applejack snapped back. "Oh I'm much more sorry than you are." Rarity said. "Are not." "Are to" "are not" "are to" "are not!" "Are to!" They laughed as they joked about the arguing. "I declare my first slumber party, a success!" Twilight said as we all cheered. "Have fun? Check!" She then closed the book and you all laugh. After that you play some games like spotlight dance, but just setup books and pillows as obstacles. "Ok now take two steps to the left. No no no, my left." Rarity thought said as she tried to make up her mind. "Well which is it?" Applejack said as she crashed into some books. "That missy is your fault, not mine!" She said as she opened her eyes and got up. You see Twilight walk over to some paper and write on it, though you couldn't tell what it was. "Alright Anon, it's your turn. Stand here." Applejack said as she pointed to a spot in front of her. You walk over to the spot and closed your eyes. "Alright, now, take three steps forward... Two steps to the left.." Applejack continued until you tripped over some books and fell into a pile of pillows. "Ah, darn it. Maybe next time. Ah've gotta head back to the orchard. It was nice gettin' tah know ya Anon. I'll see ya around. Bye Twilight! See ya Rarity!" Applejack yelled as she left to go outside. "Me too, I have to get working on some dresses and your shirt. Goodbye!" Rarity waved behind her as she left. You and Twilight both wave and the door closed. You both sit down beside each other. "What a night." Twilight said after a sigh. "Huh, tell me about it." You sigh, turning your head towards her. "Hey Twilight, I wanted to talk to you about something..." You mumble, fiddling with your thumbs. "Sure, what is it?" She asked turning her head towards you. She put her hoof on top of your hands to stop you from fiddling. "It's just that, well, I kinda want to, I don't know... I want to be able, to, go outside and you know, have a bit of freedom." You confess, looking over at her. She was looking down at her hooves. "Yeah, I was going to talk to the mayor about that, maybe show you to her and the town or something." She said looking back at you. "Do we really have to go through all of that? Can't I just, oh I don't know, maybe walk outside and see what happens? I mean what's the worst that could happen?" You smile roughly, looking outside through the window. "Well, you could and maybe over time of having you here ponies with get used to you. But for now they will probably run away screaming and hide from you." She answered. You sigh. "Can't you maybe tell some of the ponies about me or something? Like I don't want to be shown to the town like some sort of new animal or something." You say. "Maybe." She said scooting her hoof around on the floor, when we suddenly heard the door open and some pony walked in. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4 Power chapter 4 A grey Pegasus with yellow mane stood in the doorway. You and Twilight both pause, waiting for some kind of run or scream, but no. The pony looked at you and smiled, then introduced herself. "Hi! My name is Derpy hooves, what's your name?" She asked walking towards you but then getting awkwardly close. "Uhh..." You darted your eyes over at Twilight, who seemed to be encouraging you. "M-my name's, Anonymous..." You say, getting up. "Well, that's a different name! It's cool though. Twilight, I'm here to pick up my book, I heard it arrived." She said then walking over to Twilight, who then got up and walked over to the bookshelves, and levitated a book down and into Derpy's hooves. "Thanks! I'll see you around Anonymous!" Derpy said then walking out the door. You and Twilight both look at each other. "Well. It looks like you've, made a friend!" She said smiling. Derpy bursted through the door of Bon Bon's house. "I made a new friend today. His name is Anonymous, and he's not a pony." She said looking at Bon Bon's face which suddenly turned from happy to confused. "Well, then what is he?" She asked getting up. Derpy shrugged. "I donno, you should go meet him. He's really nice. He's over at Twilights house right now!" Derpy then sat down to read a book titled, Muffin Cookbooks. "Yeah, I think I'll go meet him. Come on Lyra." Bon Bon said while walking to the door. Lyra slowly got up off the couch and trotted over to Bon Bon. They both walked out the door and around outside until they got to Twilights door. You suddenly hear a knock on the door. Almost as if it was a well known reflex, you quickly hide in the kitchen. Two ponies walked inside, one a mint coloured mane and coated unicorn, and a yellow coated, blue and pink maned earth pony. "Oh, hi Lyra and Bon Bon, are you here for a book?" Twilight trotted up and asked them, but looking around the room to see if you were anywhere in sight first. "Well, this is a library so if I were you I'd expect that-" Bon Bon's hoof then covered Lyra's mouth. "We heard Derpy say she met a new friend here, but she said he's not a pony. Can we meet him?" Bon Bon asked then letting go of Lyra's muzzle. Twilight then paused and looked around the room. "Uhm, wait right here." Twilight disappeared into the kitchen to begin looking for you. "Anon, Anon where are you?!" She whispered loudly, poking her head into kitchen. You come out from under the table. "What?" You ask, getting back onto your feet. "The ponies that came in, they're looking for you!" She whispered stomping her hoof on the floor. "Well don't get mad at me! I didn't ask them to come here!" You accuse, throwing your hand in the air. "Ok so, how do we do this? Do you just, go up to them?" Twilight asked confused. "Well, I guess so. I mean there isn't really any other way to meet someone new. *Sigh* ok here it goes." You prepare, walking around the corner of the kitchen. You look at both of the ponies who had their eyes widened. You stick out your hand. "My name is Anon, what's yours?" You ask in the tone of wanting to get it over with. There was a pause, and then the mint coloured unicorn stuck out her hoof to shake your hand. Her hoof was shaking. If you were some sort of monster to them then she had some guts. You wrap your fingers around her hoof and shake it slightly. "I'm, I'm Lyra..." She said shakily. You introduce yourself back to Bon Bon and after a while they seemed fine around you. After a while, other ponies began coming to the door. You had assumed that most of the town had heard about you. So one day, you wanted to try going outside. You leave a bit early in morning to just walk around a bit, and you found this big field, just outside the everfree forest. You decide that it could be a good place to practice, both flying and parkour. But instead of just standing there and start flying, you wanted to try getting a running start and then take off, just to see what happens. You found a nice long sort of runway to takeoff on and you started running, then sprinting. And as you were running, you close your eyes and concentrated, and then jump. You feel the ground below you disappear and you open your eyes. You were headed of a giant mountain. Your eyes quickly shot wide and you quickly went to turn around but you instead stopped flying and rammed face first into the giant rock. You were about 700 feet high maybe higher. You try to concentrate again to fly but you were too panicked. You were getting closer and closer to the ground and you suddenly felt something ram into you from the side and you black out. You wake up in the hospital with Pinkie pie, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, and the same nurse from Fluttershy's cottage, all staring over you. They all smile when they notice you wake up, except for the nurse, who looked disappointed. She walked forward and looked at you. "Well, Mr. Anonymous, I will let you that you are very lucky and unlucky. Which news would you like me to tell you first? Good or bad?" She asked, sighing. "Good I guess." You moan, rubbing your forehead. "Well, the good news is that Rainbow dash saved you from falling so you didn't die. However, from the impact of you and her, she crushed a few of your ribs." She said writing something down on some paper. You look over at Rainbow dash who then blushed when she looked back at you. "But, some more bad news for you, the large cuts on your chest from when you first got here will now be there forever, and will take even longer to heal and close up, but the scar will still show. And the healing for the ribs will require some surgery and lots of bed rest." Your eyes widen at the word surgery. You sigh when you told yourself that it was your fault and now have to deal with the consequences. You slam your head into the pillow. "A week minimum. So you should get some rest." The nurse said, then looking over at the other ponies. They nod and walk out along with the nurse, but you stop Rainbow dash and she turned around, walked towards you and lay on the bed. "Thank you Rainbow, that was very heroic what you did. You're very loyal to your friends." You smile, resting a hand on her shoulder. She blushed and leaned close. "That's what friends are for." She whispered then kissed you on the cheek then flew out the window. You watch her fly out the window and you pressed your hand against your cheek, rubbing it and blushing a light red. You immediately stop when Twilight walked back into the room. Your face turned an even brighter red as she walked in and chuckled a bit, and you buried your face into your hands. "It's ok, I saw the whole thing anyway." She said as she walked up to you. She had a notebook beside her, levitating with her telekinesis. "I'm just here to ask you some questions. I'm just kinda like that, I need to know as much a I possibly can. Soooo..." She flipped to the first page of her booklet and then looked at you. "Tell me as much as you can remember. Everything. Anything you can remember, I don't care what it is just tell me." She said with a serious look in her eyes, pen to paper. You weren't really in the position to leave or make up an excuse, so you were stuck here. You might as well do something. "Well, I remember some stuff that's not really important from back home, but it's just the important stuff that I can't-" She immediately cut you off. "Tell the not important stuff, remember, everything you can remember. Even if its not important to you I means everything to me right now, just tell me!" She said biting her lower lip, getting a bit closer and getting anxious. You push her lightly away from you. "Well, that will take hours, maybe days for me to tell you everything." You complain. "I have time, and so do you obviously. So, lets begin." After hours of talking you finally told her as much as you could from Lego to airplanes and cars. When you were done, you looked over at the clock, it read 4:32 am. You rub your eyes and so did Twilight, who had bags under her eyes and her hair was messy. "Twilight we've been at this for hours can we please get some sleep? I have surgery tomorrow and don't want to be grumpy to the nurses." You yawn, nodding over at Twilight who wrote down something on the paper and she read it out loud. "Can... Be... Grumpy... When... Tired..." She said then passing out at the foot of the bed. "Twilight? Twilight are you still awake?" You ask but she didn't answer. You rub your eyes and sat up to grab one of your extra blankets. You grab it and softly lay it on her, and fall back into the pillow, and immediately fell asleep. You wake up from something shoving your shoulder. You moan and turned onto your other shoulder. "Come on! Wake up! I still need to talk to you!" You hear the voice of none other than Twilight Sparkle. You groan and turn back over to Twilight, who was now lying next to you under the covers. "You're still here?" You ask in an uneasy voice. "Well of course I am! I still need answers from you! Now wake up!" She said flicking on the light with her magic and shoving you with her hooves. "Ok fine I'm awake! Now what do you need?" You questioned, rubbing your eyes once more. You find your eyes probably less than three inches away from hers. "Sex!" She said excitedly. You sigh and turn your back towards her with a yawn. “Just, lets do it some other time ok?-”. You stop rubbing your eyes, because they were wide open. "Wait, W-WHAT?!" You yell, quickly sitting up against the wall behind you, but she just moved closer. "Well, yeah! It's one of the most important things I need for my research." She said pulling out her notebook again. You are breathing hard, surprised at her question; Or more of a command, whatever. "Oh, don't act so surprised and embarrassed! It's come up in all of our minds at least once!" She said moving closer. Ok, you’re done. You don't care how, but you needed to get out of here. But you thought of a much better way, with the best invention known to man... Words. "Twilight, please. I can't, especially right now, with.. You, I'm just not...I just, I can't... Ugh." You let out. "Well, then can you at least tell me?" She desperately asked. "Twilight! I'm not gonna sit here and describe sex to you!" You whisper loudly and grab both sides of your head with your hands. "Fine, you just know that when your out and better, that this will come up again. I just want to let you know." She said getting up and walking towards the door. "I'll be back tomorrow, See ya!" She said as she walked out. A while after that you calm down, but then got more anxious when the nurse came in to get you for surgery. You wake up again in the same bed and you felt sort of, empty. The surgery had taken twice as long because you’re... Alien. You had a bandage around your head, chest, and leg. A few minutes later, the nurse walked into the room along with the other 6 ponies. Twilight was there and you try not to make eye contact with her. The nurse held up a page with a bunch of writing on it and she read some of it out loud. "Fractured leg, cracked skull, and 3 broken ribs.” She then put the page down on the table and looked at you then the other ponies, who looked worried. "So, for the rest of the week you are here, try not to get up or put any pressure on you leg, and take it easy, alright?" She asked. You nod and she left the room. You look back over at Pinkie, who was nervously squirming, wanting to talk. You nod to her and she walked forward. "I had to delay the party because of your accidents! Unless its possible for you to come in this condition..." She yelled, jumping slightly at the edge of the bed. You move your feet so she wouldn't land on your legs. "I, think I'll wait till I get out of here. No hard feelings Pinkie?" You slowly look up at her and she nodded, came in for a quick hug then lay down at the foot of the bed. "So, why are you all here?" You pause and then sit up to talk to them. "Just tuh keep ya company. If that's alright." Applejack leaned on the side of the bed. You nod, smiling. "We, um... Brought s-some games to play, I-if you want to..." Fluttershy mumbled, pulling a game from behind her back. You take the game from her and read the title out loud. "Battle Cloud" You read aloud. You turn over the box and look at the instructions. "Oh hey, I had a game like this back home called Battleship!" You excitedly opened the box to look inside it, fortunately, it looked almost identical, you just hoped that the game worked the same, though you always were a quick learner. You pull it out and set it up as you thought it should. The numbers and letters were a little bit differently set up, and instead of letters and numbers, it was numbers and sky or cloud. "Do, you need me to, um, tell you how the game works?" Fluttershy quietly asked, setting up her side. You hum, "Uh, I think I'll figure it out. Thanks though." You thank. Rainbow dash, Applejack and Pinkie pie each hover over you, showing you how you should set up your board. Rainbow dash kept pointing her hoof to the places it should go, and eventually, she was pretty much playing the game. Or doing most of it anyways. After a while of watching the two battle, you got the idea of the changes and wanted to try it out. You ask Rainbow dash if you could try and she sat down beside you, still watching your every move. But every time you went to point to a position or even open your mouth, Rainbow would groan and bite her lip. After a while of trying, you just give up and scoot over for Rainbow dash to play, just to stop her moaning. "Rainbow! Let him play! Give him a chance." Twilight scolded. "No it's ok, she obviously knows the game better than I do. Besides, I like to watch sometimes." You sit up, back against the wall and watch. Twilight stared at you, but was interrupted by Rainbow dash. "It's your turn!" She rolled her eyes. They went back and forth for a while then the game ended and Rainbow dash flew into the air and threw her hooves up. "Woo! Another win for Rainbow dash!" She boasted. You smile and roll your eyes, and looked over at Twilight who did the same. You see Fluttershy tuck into her mane and behind the game as much as possible. Rainbow dash quickly sat back down on the bed, leaning against your shoulder. "Let's play again!" Rainbow dash excitedly said, setting up her board again. You relax your upper body and lay back against your pillow, still watching the other ponies. "Um, I think Anon needs some sleep, what do you think Anon?" Twilight asked, turning her attention towards you. You shrug in response. "I'm fine with having you guys around. Though it doesn't seem like anyone else would come around accept for the nurses. So you guys can stay if you want." You offer. You see Applejack look up at the clock and her eyes widened. "Actually, I'd love ta stay. But I'd better get back ta the orchard. Granny's gonna be mad if ahm not back soon. G'bye girls! C ya later Anon!" She said then walking out the door. "Me too. I have a very important order of dresses to go out to Canterlot this week and I do not want to send it in late. Goodbye!" Rarity shouted as she left the room. Twilight followed and so did Fluttershy, and Pinkie pie. They closed the door behind them and you listened to the sound of their hoof steps fade. Rainbow dash, still laying beside you, started to speak. "Hey Anon, about that, thing yesterday..." She cracked as she rubbed the back of her neck. "It's fine Rainbow, don't worry about it." You smile, patting her on the head. You start scratching her head and she hummed with content. You smile a bit wider and let out a small laugh, and scratched behind her ears and her eyes went wide and then they closed and she brushed against your chest. "Ahh..." She moaned as you scratched around her ears. After a while, you stop and she turned around to look at you, her eyes like puppy eyes if you stopped rubbing its belly and it wanted more. You roll your eyes and continued scratching her head. After a while more, you notice her painfully rubbing her right hoof, grunting. "Are you ok?" You ask as you stop stroking her mane and examine her hoof. "Uh, yeah. Well, I don't know really, my hoof is just aching a lot for some reason, it's the muscle I think." She answered, but then she just looked away from it to try to ignore it. You suddenly remember something as you grab her hoof and gently press both your thumbs into her coat. You slowly rub her hoof with your hands and she lay back into the pillow you are laying on and she moaned in delight. "You... Your so, good at, this..." She managed to mumble out with her face crushed with the pillow. "Well, that's good to hear. Judging by I've never massaged a pony's hooves before; just arms, legs and backs." You continue to make your way up and down her hoof and up to her shoulder. You feel all the knots in her muscles relax and continue to loosen them. After you were done, she rolled over to face you. She wiped her muzzle from saliva and she blushed. "Thanks," she sighed. "It feels a lot better." She nuzzles your neck and lay on her back. You look at her and start rubbing her belly. She started squirming around and laughing. "S-stop-p! That... Stop!" She kicked her hind legs and hooves around and you both laughed, though you try to stay out of her kicking area. You see some tears form in her eyes from laughter, and you finally stop and she gasped for breath. "I'm... Gonna.. Get you.. Back for.. That..." She gasped for air between each word. She wiped some sweat from her forehead and she caught her breath. You look over at her other hoof and grabbed it quickly then started rubbing it. Rainbow dash tried to pull away but then stopped when you started. She sighed and groaned. "Anon, stop, p-please?" She tried to ask but failed to pull her hoof away. "Are you sure?" You ask slowly. "No... I mean yes! I mean... Ugh, fine..." She gave in as she moved closer. After you were done, you look over at Rainbow dash, who was fast asleep beside you. You smile and lay your head beside hers and fall asleep. You wake up with pony drool all over your face and upper chest. You wipe your face with your arm, but then with the covers. You look at the cyan pegasus, who had her head resting on your chest, peacefully sleeping away. You smile at the sight of her and the sound of her snoring. You slowly stroke her mane for a while and look outside, it looked like it was the afternoon. You confirm it when you look over at the the clock; 12:24. You look back over at Rainbow dash, who was waking up from the feeling of your hands running through her mane. She yawned and looked towards you. "Good morning Rainbow. Have a good sleep?" You ask, still wiping your face with the sheets, though now it was just spreading it around more, so you just ignore it. She blushed and wiped her muzzle with her hoof and then got up to stretch. "Uh, yeah..." She smiled. The nurse suddenly walked in through the door and stood beside the bed. "Good morning you two. Anon, I have some good news, and unfortunately no bad news for today." She mumbled to herself. "The good news is that the healing spell Twilight casted on you helped you heal faster. But yourself, healed much faster than expected, so we are willing to let you go early. But before you leave, we need to take a quick blood sample from you." She then pulled out a small needle with her magic and leaned closer over the bed. You move your arm closer to her and she stuck the needle into your arm, and blood started to pour into the little container inside the needle. After a few seconds she pulled the needle away, placed some cotton onto your arm and applied pressure for a couple more seconds. She pulled away the cotton and walked out of the room, but then she poked her head back into the room. "Oh, and you can leave now. We will let you know when the test analyses. Good bye!" She said then turning the corner. You and Rainbow both look at each other, and you get out of bed to grab your clothes, when you notice a white t-shirt hanging over a chair with your other belongings. "Oh yeah, Rarity dropped that off last night when you were sleeping. She couldn't exactly figure out the size but she did her best. She said that if it doesn't fit right to go over to the boutique so she can get your measurements." Rainbow dash got off the bed and stretched her hind legs and shook her body like a dog would to dry themselves. You nod and put on the shirt; it fit perfectly! A little bit on the small side but at least you had something to cover your upper body. You figure you should still go over to Rarity's to thank her, so you add that to your mental notes for the day. The first thing you wanted to do was make some money, or go over to talk to Twilight to also thank her; but you also knew what would follow that if you went over there. You shiver at the thought of it and wiped it from your mind. You decide to see what Rainbow was doing for the day. "So, what are you doing today Rainbow dash?" You wonder, pulling on your pants and shoes. "Well, I was going to go practice a bit in the field, then head over to sugar cube corner. Wanna tag along?" She offered, walking towards the door. "Sure." You both then exit the room and the hospital and walk outside. The sunlight blazes at your eyes, forcing them shut. "Pinkie's gonna be really happy to know your out early. She's gonna have the party even sooner, probably even tonight! Just be ready, she always throws a surprise party and you never expect it." She hovered upside down, hooves and legs stretched out, consuming the sunlight. "Yeah, it'll be fun. I'm just really happy to be out early. It reeeaaally sucks to be in bed for a week, trust me, I've had to do it before. Norwalk disease and strep throat. Plus a broken leg one time." You sigh, hands in your pockets. You finally reach the field and Rainbow dashed off from beside you into the warm, blue sky. She looked down at you and smiled. "Come on! Don't be afraid!" She shouted, sitting in a cloud. "I, don't think I should. Judging by the condition I'm in, I shouldn't take any chances..." You hold back, looking at the bandages around your body. "Oh come on! She said you were all better! Besides, I'll be here to catch you if you fall. I'll even do it so I don't break anymore of your bones!" She laughed, throwing her hoof in the air. You sigh, pitching in a small chuckle of your own, and start to run, and then jump like last time, but kept your eyes open so you knew where you were going. You take off into the air and look beside you as Rainbow quickly zoomed in front of you. "Try to keep up!" She smiled as she took off. You spot her then try to catch up to her. To both of your surprise, you make it beside her in no time at all. She looked at you and smile again and you quickly move in front of her, as quick as you could go. You try too hard to go fast and the same nosebleed broke out again. You decide to instead of ruining your new shirt by getting blood all over it, you descend to the ground and stop in a roll to stop the speed. Rainbow dash stopped and landed in front of you, jaw dropped. "How, how did you... Just, HOW?!" She stomped on the ground. "I'm just as surprised as you are Rainbow. But I should still take it easy and work my way up-" You were then suddenly cut off my a barking dog and the voice of Applejack. "Hay Rainbow! Howdy Anon! Ah didn't expect y'all ta come outta yer hole that fast. Yer healed already?" She asked, trotting towards you, dog beside her. You don't reply back to her. There was a small silence. You just stare at the dog. "Uhh, Anon? Ya alright?" Aj asked, tilting her head. She looked where your eyes were looking and her eyes led to her dog. "Oh, mah lil’ bundle ah joy? This here is Winona. The best dog a pony could ask for." She smiled as she rubbed Winona's head. A huge amount of thoughts ran through your head as you stare at the little dog. You struggle to think of them, but the last thing that came to mind, broke your trance. "Oh, uh... Sorry. I, I think I remembered s-something..." You mumble, rubbing your temples. "Oh? Well, what is it?" Dash wondered, they both walked forward. "I...I remember, s-something... About... *Sigh*" You choke out as a tear ran down your cheek. Applejack and Rainbow dash both look at each other, confused. "I remember something ab-bout my dog, S-Sadie..." You sit down on the grass and Winona walked towards you, and you scratch her head and she lied down on the grass. "*Sigh* I-it's a long story, I'll tell you guys later, I don't want to ruin your day or anything." You wipe your eyes and stand back up onto your feet. "It's ok sugar cube, ah get what yer tryin' ta say. I'm sorry." Applejack said as she pulled off her hat and held it to her chest. "No, it's fine Applejack. She didn't die, but we had to sort of... Return her to her owner. Anyways it's a long story." You take a deep, shaky breath and look over at Rainbow dash, who was quickly wiping her eyes and blinking. "O-ok, we should head over to sugar cube corner to see Pinkie pie." Rainbow dash then quickly turned around and started walking towards the shop. You follow, but turn around to wave goodbye to Applejack, who was watching you both walk away. She shook her head and waved back. You turn back around and caught up to Rainbow dash, who was violently clearing her throat. "Are, you ok?" You inquire, putting a hand on her shoulder. She turned to you, her eyes a bit red. "Yeah, I'm fine." She choked, nuzzling your hand off her shoulder. She then turned to a big house which looked like... A giant gingerbread house? You follow her inside to see Pinkie pie talking to some other ponies and she suddenly stopped talking. She slowly and creepily turned her head 180 degrees until she faced you and Rainbow dash with a grin, ear to ear. She gasped when her eyes met yours and her body span around to the proper direction without her even moving her hooves or head. How the heck did she even do that? She rushed forward and stopped millimetres before crashing into you. "Your out early! I wonder why, is it because of your powers or was it Twilights? But really why are you out early? Tell me tell me tell me! Oh no wait, don't tell me, actually yes. No, yes no! Argh!" She yelled jumping around you. You looked over at Rainbow dash, who was on the verge of bursting into laughter. Nope, not on the verge. She fell to the ground and literally was ROFLing. "WAIT! This means I don't have to delay the party! I'll see you tonight!" Pinkie then zoomed out the door, leaving a pile of dust in the air around you. You cough and look down at Rainbow dash who was catching her breath. You walked over to her to help her up. She smiled and reached out her hoof to your hand and got back onto her hooves. "Wow, she seems really exited. Be ready for a hell of a party tonight Anon." She wiped her eyes with her hoof, then walked up to the counter of the store. "Hello Rainbow dash! Hello... Um," The cashier paused. "Anon." You stuck out your hand to shake her hoof. "A-Anon, right." She responded. She didn't stick her hoof out so you brought your hand up and run it through your hair. "One cupcake please. Oh, Anon did you want one?" The rainbow maned pegasus turned around to ask. "Uh, I don't have any money." "It's fine, on me. Make that two." Rainbow dash turned back to the counter and put some money on the table. "Thanks Rainbow, but you didn't have to do that." You cough. She turned to you and shoved a cupcake into your hands, she laughed. "Yeah I did. Besides, your still gonna pay me back. Unless you want me to do it~" Rainbow said with a grin on her face. You softly laugh sarcastically. "Ok... And what do you mean by that?" You take a bite out of the cupcake. "You'll see~" She answered, giggling. You stop walking and look down at the cupcake. "Uhh, Anon? Are you having another memory again?" She examined you, trotting towards you. "The only thing I remember is that back on earth we never had CUPCAKES THIS GOOD!" You inhale the rest of the cupcake in less than two seconds. Rainbow dash smiled and let out a small laugh. "Yeah, get used to it. And if you think these are good, you should try some of the apple products. You'll literally die." She finished then scarfed down her cupcake and licked around her mouth. Yeah, you can believe her. Because for you it was pretty much a near-death experience. "So, where are we headed now?" You ask, wiping your mouth. "Twilights house. She needs to see you." She answered, making you nearly barf back up your cupcake. You make it over to Twilight’s library and all the lights were off. "Yeah, well I can see where this is going..." You say wryly. You both walk inside and wait a few seconds. The lights flickered on and the five ponies yelled, "SURPRISE!" Even though you were expecting it, it still threw you off of your feet. The pink bouncing ball came towards you and landed on her hooves, after doing god knows how many frontflips. "Were you surprised? Tell me tell me! Well, were ya huh huh huh?!" She yelled in under a second. You get back onto my feet and look around the room. The were decorations EVERYWHERE. There was a lot of food and, ohh thank god there were some more cupcakes the corner. "Wow, Pinkie. You really put a lot of work into this. And what is this party for?" You continue walking further into the room. "It’s your Welcome To Ponyville party silly!" She disappeared for a second then came back to shove a cupcake into you mouth. You chew and swallow then smile back at Pinkie. She jumps at you and gives you a big hug. The rest of the ponies joined in for a giant group hug on the floor, so pretty much a dog pile. After several seconds of tight hugging and ponies humming, you all get up off of the floor. "Let's get this party started!" Pinkie jumped up and ran over to the music player. Some music started playing (http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JOY69M6-f5I), and all the ponies started dancing in the middle of the floor. "Come on Anon! Dance with us!" Pinkie came off towards you and grabbed your hand. You knew how to break dance a little bit, but it had been a while. You got to the middle of the floor and all of the ponies were staring at you, waiting for you to do something. You start dancing and the other ponies join in with you. After a while the ponies were just doing their own thing so you didn't really feel like you were being watched or judged so you just let go. Over time the ponies turned their attention back to you and after you finished they all stomped their hooves on the ground and cheered. "Again! Again!" Pinkie pie cheered. You wipe your forehead from sweat and sit down beside Rainbow dash, who was also tired from dancing. "You're, a good dancer. Where did you learn how to do that?" Rainbow urged, watching the others on the floor dancing. "Well, I taught myself really. And I got most of the flexibility and moves from parkour." You answer. You suddenly feel something licking your hand. You look down at Rainbow dash, who was licking your arm up and down. "What are you doing? Stop! It tickles!" You laugh. She looked up at your face and moved her head up to your level and started licking your cheek. You slightly blush as she started licking your upper lip. You start sweating more as she continued to lick your face. You try hard not to laugh from the feeling so you don't attract any attention, but it was too late. Fluttershy trotted over and started licking your other arm. Pinkie pie trotted over and started doing the same. Every pony that came over to join the other ponies in giving you a tongue bath made it harder and harder not to laugh. You let out a small laugh and the rest of the ponies walked over. You soon had 6 ponies licking your whole body waist up. Though Fluttershy was getting dangerously close to your crotch. "Are... Are y-you girls d-done y-yet?!" You laugh and squirm but the ponies were holding you down on the floor. You hear the ponies laugh under their humming. You suddenly feel something undo your fly and you look down at Fluttershy, who was zipping down the fly on your pants. You try to move your arms and legs to push her head away but it was no use. The ponies were holding down your limbs with all their weight. "Fluttershy, stop trying to-mphh!" You were cut off by Rainbow dash licking your mouth again. You suddenly feel Applejack get off of your right arm and you use the oppertunity and immediately push Fluttershy's head away from your zipper. Her whole muzzle was inside of your pants and you push her away before she got any further in. You quickly zip up your pants before Applejack took hold of your arm again. After some more time of pushing Fluttershy away and getting soaked with saliva, you were dry of sweat and you were pretty sure the ponies were just doing this to either annoy you or they enjoyed it. "Can we please do something else?" You ask, keeping your eyes closed. The ponies stopped licking and got off of your arms and legs. You never even noticed that they took off your shirt. And if any longer, your pants would be off too. Thankfully, your shirt wasn't soaked so you used it as a towel to dry yourself off. You see Applejack walk out the door and then come back in with a giant barrel. "Ah brought cider! Who wants a cup?" All the ponies walked over to her and the barrel and walked back out with a fizzy cup of cider. Applejack went to hand you a cup. "Wanna cup sugar cube? Best cider in Equestria~" You politely decline and sit down in a circle the ponies made in the middle of the floor. They were mumbling something to each other but you couldn't make out what it was. "So, what are we doing?" You asked. Applejack came and sat down beside you. "How 'bout a game a truth or dare!" Applejack suggested, looking at you with a grin. You grin back and all the other ponies nodded in agreement. "I'll go first! Uummm... Anon, truth or dare?" Rainbow dash turned to you. You had a gut feeling that every thought, dare or truth had something to do with you and that you wouldn't like it. You didn't want to make the moment boring by choosing truth, and that could still lead to a disaster. But you also didn't want to get yourself killed by choosing dare. Oh well, yolo right? "I d-dare Appppplejack, t-to chug the whoooole barrel o-of cider." Rainbow dash stuttered and she fell over. Applejack slowly wobbled over to the barrel the gasped. "T-THERE'S NO MORE L-LEFT!" She screamed. The rest of the ponies gasped. You face palm yourself and stare back at the ponies. "I think you girls have had enough anyways." The room was suddenly quiet and heads turned towards you. You know now that when these ponies are drunk, try to stay out of the way. Applejack started walking towards you and you stutter backwards. The rest of the ponies followed Applejack. You look at Rainbow dash who had just taken off towards you, charging. You quickly dive roll out of the way and she stopped where you were just standing. She leaped at you again and tackled you. "Ok guys, calm down... Lets just think of something else to do." You suggest, swallowing hard. "Ok, how about a game of KILL ANON!" Rainbow dash threw her hoof up in the air and back down to stomp on your face. You wake up gasping for air. You look around the room at all the sleeping ponies lying on the ground. "Oh... It was just a dream. Thank goodness." You think out loud. You get up onto your feet and walk towards the other sleeping ponies. You kneel down beside Rainbow dash. Her breath was thick with cider, she's gonna have a horrible hangover. You smile as you look at her face. You take your hand and scratch behind her ears and she smiled brightly and she suddenly wrapped her hooves around your waist. You try to stick your arms between her and you to pry her off but it was no use. She was stuck with you untill she wakes up. You continue to scratch behind her ears because it made both of you smile. You look up at the clock, 10:04. You rub your eyes and sit back down on the floor, still scratching Rainbow's head. You hear her mumble something and she started waking up. You look down at her and your eyes meet. "Ow, my head. What happened last night?" She mumbled, still clinging to you. "Well, beats me. I just remember having this weird dream and then waking up." You explain, stroking her mane. She suddenly stopped moving. "Oh, what was the dream about?" She asked, looking up at you. "Well, we were playing Truth or Dare, and you guys were really drunk. And the cider ran out and you started, attacking me. And then I woke up." You describe, scratching your head. "Wow. I, I had the same dream. But I was, the one attacking..." She said, spreading her wings then hovering up over top of you. "I wonder if the other ponies had the same dream." You get up and walk over to the other ponies, who were lying on the ground. Rainbow dash's face suddenly turned foul. "Eww, what's that smell?" She waved the smell away. You both look over at Pinkie pie, who was lying near a pool of vomit. "I'm, gonna go get some fresh air." You say quickly, running upstairs towards the balcony. "Right behind you!" Rainbow yelled as she trailed behind you. You burst through the balcony door and take a deep breath of fresh air. "Oh, you two are awake! Crazy night last night huh?" You hear a familiar voice come from behind you. You both turn around to see Twilight standing in the doorway. Her hair was wet so she must have just had a shower. "Oh, hey Twilight. Yeah, it was crazy." Rainbow dash said, turning back around to look over the town. "Well, I've gotta go get cleaned up. I have some stuff to do so ill be right back." Rainbow dash then took off. Twilight trotted up beside you and leaned on the railing. "So, you knew this was gonna come up. But I still need to ask you some questions." Your eyes grew wide at the word questions. You quickly jump off the railing to take off and fly but you were suddenly stopped, mid air with a purple shield glowing around you. "Not gonna happen. Look it's better to get it over with than to keep running away from it, agreed?" She levitated you closer to her. "*Sigh* agreed." You give in, dropping your head low. "Good. Now follow me inside. I promise it won't be that bad." She dropped you on the ground and you follow her inside. You enter her bedroom and she brought out the notebook and you both sit down on the bed. "So, what's on the list?" You ask, curling up in a ball. She hesitated. "Well, nothing serious. The first thing is to see how a pony mouth and human mouth adapt to kissing." She read from the page then looked up at you. "Is there anything different we can do?" You lean over, looking at her page. "Well if you want to get serious~" She said moving closer. You push her away lightly with a hand. "No... I mean anything besides any kind of skin contact?" "No, not really. The only thing left is for me to see your world, which isn’t in option right now, and some other important stuff you wouldn't know. So this is what were doing for now." She then put down the paper and stared at you, leaning closer. "Well, there has to be som-MPFH!" After a few seconds she pulled away from the kiss and wrote something down on the paper. "Twilight what the-MPFH!" She pulled away again and you hear hoof steps coming up the stairs and Applejack, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy walked inside. "Whut 'n tarnation is goin' on in here?" Applejack walked into the room. "Experimenting!" Twilight jumped up happily. Applejack looked over at you and you make mouth movements of 'help me' to her and she giggled. "OH OH CAN I HELP?! I wanna do something!" Pinkie pie complained, jumping up and down rapidly. "Well, maybe you actually could. Your opinion might be different on kissing, try kissing him, then tell me what you think." Damn it Twilight. Pinkie pie immediately turned towards you and leaped at you, her mouth wide open for a giant kiss. After a few seconds, you build up enough strength to push her off of you. "Seriously Pinkie, she said a kiss!" You accuse, wiping your mouth. She shrugged and hopped over to Twilight and they talked. You look over at Applejack who was still giggling. "Do the rest ahf us get a turn?" Aj asked, blushing. You frown at her and then at Twilight. "Umm, maybe later. I still need to move on to the next step." She said reading further down the page. You facepalm yourself again. This was going to be a long day. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5 Power chapter 5 As you run in between houses and ponies you finally make it to the entrance of the Everfree forest. You stop to catch your breath and think. You could either stay outside the Everfree forest, have them find you and deal with what you have to do, or you can run into the forest and either get lost or die. Probably both. Fuck it. You run into the forest and up a tree and sit there to calm down. You hear Twilight and the other ponies voices come close to the forest and you hold your breath. "Do ya think he went 'nto the forest?" "It doesn't matter that much to risk it. If he is in there he'll come out eventually and we'll find him then. Come on girls, lets go back to the library." You hear their voices fade and you let out a long sigh. You look around to see yellow eyes staring at you; you still had to get out of there. You eventually find a way out of the forest and bump into a pony. You rub your head and start apologizing until you realize who it is. "Rainbow dash? *Gasp* Rainbow, I need to crash at your place for a while is that ok?!" You demand urgently, helping her up. She tilted her head in slight confusion. "Uh, sure I guess. But it might be a bit of a problem. You see, I live in a cloud house, and only pegasus ponies can walk on clouds. But Twilight has a spell that can make earth or unicorn ponies walk on clouds. But still, that may not work." She explained to herself, rubbing her head. "I'll tell you on the way, just show me the way to your house. Quick before she finds me!" You whisper loudly, looking around you to make sure Twilight wasn't around. "Before who finds you?" "Just show me the way, please!" You ask quickly, starting to levitate in the air. She shrugged and took off towards her house and you follow. She stopped at a big, cloud house with small rainbow waterfalls coming out of the sides. Your jaw dropped at the sight but you shake it off after a few seconds and went to the doorstep. You land on some cloud, concentrating, hoping you wouldn't fall through, and you luckily stayed on top of the surface. You smile and half-laugh-half-sigh in exhaustion and she invited you inside. You walk inside and close the door behind you. You slide your back against it and fall slowly to the ground and smiled. "Finally. Safety. Thanks Rainbow, I owe you one." You laugh, getting up. "You already owe me; For saving you? Also, what's going on. Are you being hunted?" She flew up in excitement. You shake your head no and she fell to the ground back on her hooves. "Twilight wanted to do some experimenting with me, and she took it a little... Harsh I guess." You walk up to her and pet her mane. "Oh. What was she experimenting on you about?" She sat down on her couch and you sit next to her. "*Sigh* Sex." You drop your head in defeat. You look over at Rainbow who had a grin on her face, but dropped it as she spoke. "Oh, I get it. Well, yeah. You're welcome to stay here if you want. I know how Twilight can get." She confessed, lying on you like a pillow. You scratch behind her ears in the spot she liked and she hummed. "Thanks. You know, you make a really comfortable blanket." You compliment, bringing her into a hug. "You make an awesome pillow." She smiled and giggled. She curled up into a small ball and moved her head up to your chest to listen to your heartbeat. You let out a small laugh and wrap your arms around her hooves and you both sit in silence until you both perked up to hear the voice of none other than... "RAINBOW DASH! RAINBOW, ARE YOU THERE? HAVE YOU SEEN ANON ANYWHERE? I NEED TO SEE HIM." Both of your faces turned into the 'oh crap' emotion. You both sit there silently and hoped for her to go away and fuck some other pony, until you hear her knocking on the door. "Rainbow dash, I know you're in there. And you're probably hiding Anon with you so just open the door." Damn it. “Uhh, hi Twilight. Anon's not here so, you can leave." Rainbow dash horribly lied from the couch. "I can tell you're lying Rainbow dash. Your lucky your not Applejack right now. Just let me inside." She insisted, knocking on the door once more. You both sit in silence again. "Dash, if you don't open the door, I'll assume that Anon is with you and I'll come in. Last chance!" Rainbow dash quickly turned around to pointed to the stairs that led up and you quickly run up them. You hear Twilight and Rainbow dash talking once she opened the door. The stairs led to Dash's room and you find a window. You quickly jump out and hang in a cat-hang position outside the window. You just hoped that she didn't come up stairs and maybe see your fingers. Otherwise you should be safe. You look down, it must be maybe a 400 foot drop. You swallow hard and cross your fingers. "Why didn't you open the door? I kept knocking!" Twilight threw her hooves up in the air. "I-I, w-was busy, doing... Nothing." "Well that obviously isn't a first. But still. Have you seen him anywhere? I still need to experiment some things. I know he's around here somewhere." Twilight walked into the house, looking around the room. She looked at the stairs and walked towards them and Rainbow dash flew in front of her, stopping her in her tracks. She smiled. "Rainbow, you don't have to do with any of this, just tell me where he is and I'll leave you alone." Rainbow shook her head. "Twilight, please leave my house. I'll talk to him and I'll talk to you later, I promise." Twilight thought for a second then nodded her head in agreement. "Fine. But try to tell me by tonight or early tomorrow. Thanks Dash!" Twilight thanked, and walked out the door. Rainbow dash sighed in relief and walked up stairs to find you. "Anon? Anon it's fine she's gone you can come out." You climb back through window and rub your hands. "Finally. I didn't know how much longer I could hold on for. Thanks though, what did she say?" You question as you both walk back downstairs and sit back down on the couch. "Just asking where you were and stuff like that. Though, to get her out of the house I had to tell her that I would talk to you and try to convince you to do it." She said, lying back on you again. "Well, you can tell her that you tried and that I said no I wouldn't do it, ever." You laugh. "Oh come on, how hard can it be to answer a few questions? I mean is it really that bad?" You look down at her, frowning. "It's more than a few questions. I hate to even think about what I saw on that page." A shiver went down your spine as you thought about it. You cuddle on the couch for a bit more, talking and you both hear a knock at the door again. Rainbow got up and looked through the peephole and she smiled. "Who is it?" You ask curiously, getting up. "My friend Vinyl Scratch. She's coming over to watch a movie, are you fine with that?" She asked, looking over at you. "Why are you asking me? It's your house, I can't tell you what to do." You chuckle. She giggled back and opened the door to let Vinyl inside. She walked inside and your eyes met. You both stand still for a few brief moments until she continued her way inside. Rainbow dash looked at you then Vinyl. "Vinyl, this is Anon. Anon, Vinyl!" You walk towards each other and you stick out your hand. She doesn’t hesitate and stuck out her hoof to shake your hand. She took off her purple tinted shades and placed them on the table. She had about the same eye colour as Rainbow dash but a tiny bit darker colour. She was also nodding her head to some music she was listening to through her headphones. You went and sat down in the middle of the couch beside her. "What music are you listening to?" You ask, she ignored you. You frown for a second then ask louder. "What are you listening to?!" You raise your voice and she turned her head towards you. "OH, JUST A SEC!" She yelled over the sound of her music. She pulled off her headphones and shook her mane. "Sorry. Here listen..." She placed the headphones on your head. The second you hear the beat you knew exactly what music it was. Old fashioned dubstep. Though it wasn't exactly as... Dub steppy as the kind you listened to. "I KNOW THIS KIND OF MUSIC! Oh, sorry..." You smile and give her the headphones back. "I listened to this kind of music back home. Here I have some on my phone- oh right..." You frown as you pull out your phone from your pocket. "What's wrong? What is that?" She asked, scooting closer. "It's my phone, but it's dead." You sigh, pressing the power button but nothing happened. "It died? How?" She questioned, tilting her head. "Heh, by dead I mean there's no power left in it." You felt like you were trying to describe a cell phone to a great, great grandparent. "Oh, here. I know a charging spell that might work..." She levitated it out of your hands and forced her eyes shut and her horn glowed brightly. In a few seconds, the screen glowed brightly and read 100%. She levitated it back into your hands with her magic and you did the password and went to the music folder. Rainbow dash came and sat down on the other side of you and leaned over to watch. You tap the folder that read DUBSTEP and tap a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-IWRmpefzE), then plug in the headphones and hand it to Vinyl. Thankfully the input for the headphone jack fit perfectly. She put on the headphones and her eyes grew wide along with a huge grin. "NOW THIS IS DUBSTEP!!" She yelled in excitement. She handed the headphones to Rainbow dash who had the same expression on her face. After the song ended, the two ponies cheered. "Can I use this song in my next concert? It would be awesome! I can remix it too and see how that sounds!" Vinyl wondered, taking the headphones back from Rainbow dash. "Uh, sure I guess. I have some other dubstep on there too that I can show you. But maybe later, weren't we gonna watch a movie?" You look over at Rainbow dash, putting your phone back in your pocket. "Oh yeah. We're watching a horror film called The Headless Horse. It’s gonna be awesome!" Rainbow replied, sitting back on the couch beside you. Vinyl sat down on the opposite side of you and Rainbow dash pressed the on button then play on the remote. Well you guess this place does have some source of electronics, but not the kind of stuff you had back home. Rainbow snuggled into the side of your chest and you wrap an arm around her, hugging her back. You hesitate for a second then say something out loud. "We're forgetting something..." You look down at your lap. "What are we missing?" "Junk food. That's what. But we can live without it, lets just start the movie." You tell, scratching your head. Rainbow dash shrugged, got up to turn off the lights then sat back down and pressed play. Later... Colour flashed on the walls and sounds boomed from the giant speakers Vinyl installed into the tv. At every part something scary is going to happen, like if one of the ponies is walking alone in the forest and hears a bush rustle, the two ponies on either side of you, clenched your arm tight until the moment passed. But every jump scare the two ponies would scream and bury their faces behind your back. After a while of screaming you found yourself scratching both of their ears to calm them down, but another scary part would happen and you eventually give up. The movie itself wasn't that bad. Compared to the horror films we have nowadays, it was ok. Especially for ponies. After the movie finished, the two ponies sighed in relief because it was over. But just before the credits rolled, a face quickly jumped at the screen and screamed. This catches you by surprise and with the other ponies too, so you all find yourselves in each others arms... And hooves. The two ponies got up to turn on the lights and they were shaking. "Th-thanks, R-Rainbow d-dash, b-but I should h-head h-home n-now..." Vinyl said, trembling. "Y-you, c-can s-stay here if-f, you w-want t-to..." Rainbow dash offered, also trembling. You sigh in anger, but kept most of it in. You’d had enough sleep overs for a while. Vinyl quickly nodded and zoomed into the couch where she was sitting before. Rainbow dash did the same and hugged your arm to calm herself down. You slowly and softly stroke the two mares manes. They both immediately stop shaking and hum in delight. You laugh silently and smile at the two ponies. After a while of listening to nothing but the wind outside and the crickets chirping in the distance, the two mares fell asleep. You sigh and close your eyes to fall asleep. When you wake up, you find your legs being hugged by Rainbow dash, and your face buried in Vinyl's chest and her hugging your neck. Ugh, you hated waking up early before the other ponies. But you guess this was better than waking up after the other ponies, who knows what they do when you’re asleep. For all you know, they could've done something in the middle of the night. You try to move a little of your head out of Vinyl’s hooves, but you were getting crushed by her chest and the couch, and she hugged tighter as you moved. You guess it was good that Rainbow's couch was also a bed, because otherwise you would've fallen off it by now. You try moving your legs but Rainbow would just hug them tighter. You grunt, and Vinyl suddenly wrapped her hind legs around your chest and she pushed you further into the couch. It was getting harder to breathe so you try not to panic-to prevent hyperventilation. After thinking of ideas of how to get out of this position, the last idea you had was just to go back to sleep. You exhale deeply and closed your eyes, but then quickly opened them again to hear Vinyl start to wake up. "*Yawn* ahh, wha- what the?-" Vinyl looked down at you and blushed then quickly got up off the bed. "Sorry, I tend to move around a lot and hug whatever is near me when I'm asleep." She chuckled awkwardly, rubbing her hoof. You look down at Rainbow dash, who had stretched, and moved her hooves up to your waist, and wrapped her hind legs around yours. You smile then sit up and swing your legs off the bed, Rainbow still hanging on. You start to pet her coat to try and wake her up peacefully, and she smiled and started to release her grip a little bit. You continue and begin to hear her start to mumble something, and her eyes opened. She looked up at you then Vinyl, still holding on tightly to your legs then yawned. "Morning you two." She then let go to stretch and got up. You do the same and look outside. "Well, thanks for letting me stay the night Dash, but I'm gonna head home now. I'll see you around!" She then headed for the door and left, headphones around her neck. You and Rainbow look at each other and smile. "Well, what should we do now?-" You suddenly stop talking as a large figure catches your eyes from a room beside the stairs. You pause and look at the object, trying to identify it. "Uhh, you ok Anon?" Rainbow asked, walking in front of your line of sight. You shake your head to look away from where you were staring and focused on Rainbow dash, who was walking slowly towards you. "What is that?" You wonder, walking towards the room with the figure in it. "Oh that? That's a really old piano that was passed down from my parents, and from theirs. I'm just carrying on the, tradition I guess." She followed you into the room and stood in the doorway. You turn on the light to the room and your eyes meet a large grand piano, but it was created with cloud, you guess to keep it above the surface. You walk towards it and sit down on the bench. "Do you, know how to play it? I never learned how." She confessed, looking at one of her hooves. You look back down on the piano and stared at it. You move your hand towards the notes, hesitated then brought a finger down on the note and the sound filled the air. Your mind started having thoughts again, rushing thoughts going through your brain. Your body quickly jolted forwards and you shut your eyes, and brought your hands up to them to cover them. You grunt, trying to remember something, but you didn't know what you were exactly looking for. You hear Rainbow dash’s hoof steps echo in your mind and it all suddenly stopped as she rested a hoof on your leg. Your body jolted again and your eyes shot wide open, and you let out a quick exhale. "What happened? Are you ok?" You turn your head towards her and nod. You quickly turn your head back down at the piano and you suddenly thought of a song that you learned and your hands and fingers moved to the position. Without thinking, you began playing a song. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fPmruHc4S9Q) Your eyes widened in shock and so did Dashes. After you finish the song, the reverb on the ending echoed around the room and you both sat in silence. You were breathing slightly heavier and you slowly turned to Rainbow dash, who had the same expression throughout the whole song. "You... I can't, I just...wow!" Her expression suddenly brightened as she started clopping her hooves together. You scratch your head with a slight blush, and also slight confusion. You smile and start laughing and Rainbow dash joined in. After a few seconds you were both laughing like you had just heard the funniest joke in the world. After you share the laugh, you went and sat back down on the couch and did nothing. "Hey Anon, I promised Twilight that I would actually try and talk to you about the, experimenting thing. Do you still not wanna go?" She asked, turning to you. You sit silent for a moment then turn to her to speak. "Probably not. Besides, I have a lot of other things that I have to get done. I can do it some other time, I’m sure she can wait." You sigh. "What if, I went with you? Would that change anything?" She mumbled. You scratch your chin for a moment and stare at the ceiling. "Hmm, that would be a bit better. Though she will still be doing the stuff so we will still have to make a getaway plan just in case, got it?" You ask, standing up. "No problem!" She nodded, waving her hoof. You both walk over to Twilights house and knock on the door. You hear hoof steps come towards the door and it opened, her eyes wide at the sight of the two of you. "Oh, hey you two. Come on in!" She offered, opening the door wide and moving to the side. "What brings you here?" She asked, closing the door behind us. "We're here to, sort of continue the, uh... Questioning." You explain. You so badly just wanted to do the two-fingered gesture for quotation marks. She raised her eyebrows and nodded, heading up stairs, with you and Dash following. You broke out a cold sweat and your heart beated faster as she pulled out the notebook again and sat down on the bed. You just hated to think of where you left off. Twilight cleared her throat and moved closer. "And Rainbow dash, I heard some beautiful piano music coming from your house, I didn't know you played piano!" She turned and looked at her. "Oh that? That wasn't me, that was Anon playing. At least I have some use for that old piano. But it was amazing!" Rainbow dash cheered and the two ponies looked at you. "Wow Anon, you're quite the pianist." She smiled leaning closer. You smile brightly but then stop to look down at Twilight who was, sniffing your crotch. You quickly push her head away and she wrote something down and mumbled to herself. You look over at Rainbow who was smiling of amusement at your face. You frown at her and then look over at Twilight, who had a grin on her face, that was slightly uncomfortable, staring at you for a while. "Uhh, what's next on the sheet?" You sweat. She kept staring at you until she blinked and rubbed her eyes. She blinked a few times and then bent down to sniff the area again. You push her head away again and frown at her. She frowned at you and grunted. You shrug and look back at Rainbow, who did the same. Twilight looked back over at you and did the same grin but slightly heavier and she bit her bottom lip. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she bent down to sniff again and instead of pushing her head again, you just sat there, just to see what she was trying to do. As she did, she looked up at you then backed off of you. She raised her eyebrows and wrote something down. You sit back on the bed and sighed. "Can you just tell me what you're doing?" You insist as Twilight turned to look at you. "Well. I'm trying to figure out what things can cause you to have an erection. I'm just going from smaller to bigger things." She blushed and looked back down at her paper. You face palm and then looked at Rainbow dash who had done the same with her hoof. "There's nothing else we can do besides this stuff? Anything?!" You demanded, angrily rubbing your temples. Twilight sighed and looked up at you. "No. And it's best if we get this over with. Now, next thing." She got up on the bed and trotted over to you and sat down on your lap. You struggle to try and move free, but she just smiled and pinned you down with her magic. Ok, now your heart was racing a lot faster and you were hoping Rainbow dash was thinking of an escape plan. You look over at her and she was covering her mouth from laughing, her cheeks red. Twilight turned your head back towards her and looked you in the eyes and kissed you passionately. You try to pull away but her magic held your head where it was. You immediately look over at Rainbow dash who was trying harder and harder not to laugh. How the hell does she think this is funny? After a few more moments, Twilights released her lips from yours and you look at her for a moment. She looked back at you and smiled. "I had a feeling that you would enjoy this too!" She grinned and hopped off the bed, writing some stuff down on the page and left for the door. "I think that's enough for now, I’d like to do more but I know you wont take much more. We will continue tomorrow, ok?" You slowly nod and get off the bed. You shake your head and look at Rainbow dash, who also had a grin on her face. "What?" You request and she giggled. You walk down stairs and head for the door and walk out then close the door behind you. Rainbow dash looks at you, flies up to your eye level and quickly launched her face towards yours for a kiss. She slowly moved her face away from yours and blushed. "I'll-I'll, see you later A-Anon. Meet me at my house." She then took off and you watch her for a moment, then remembered what you wanted to do today. "*Sigh* work. I need money, but who will hire me to do anything?" You ask yourself aloud, kicking a rock in front of you. You suddenly felt somepony bump into you from behind and you fall forward and the pony fell on top of you. "Oh, sorry partner. Oh, howdy Anon! What ya up ta tuday?" You turn your head around to find Applejack lying on top of you. She got off and you both got up and brush yourselves off. "I'm actually looking for a way to earn some money." You confess and her face suddenly brightened. "Hay, y'all could work on the farm with me and Big Mac if ya like. I'll pay ya in bits, unless you want me ta pay in another way~" She giggled, wiggling her rump around. You walk up beside her, scratching your head. "Uh, normal money would be fine. I'll definitely help you guys out. Who's Big Mac?" You wonder. "Oh. He's mah brother. He's a nice stallion, I'm sure y'all will get along just fine." She started walking towards the farm. You both finally make it to a wide crop field that led towards a big red barn. You inhale deeply and exhale in happiness. You always loved the smell of farm country. It was always so... Peaceful. You always wanted to live on a farm. She started running towards the big barn. "I'll race ya there!" She took off into the tall grass. You grin and went in after her with great speed, though the grass slowed you down a bit. After a while of running you finally spot the top of her hat just above the level of grass and chase after her. You run past her and you hear her gallop after you. You hear a leap sound and her galloping stopped for a second and you then get tackled to the ground before you understood what was going on. You both laugh as you roll on the ground and finally make it out of the grass maze and into the barn. "We outta have lunch before buckin' some trees. Though, ya may not be the best at that, so ah have some other things for y'all tah do around th' farm. Tuh test those muscles of yers~." She smiled, putting a hoof on your chest, then hopping down to continue walking. She walked into the farmhouse and you follow her to a table filled with food. "Well, charge up! It's gonna be a good day ah hard work!" She pushed a few things towards you with a smile. You both gobble up almost all of the food, then sigh. "Wow, thanks Applejack! Also, what did you want me to do?" You ask, wiping your mouth with your arm. She got up from the chair and trotted over to you and pointed to the barn. "Well, there's some wood floor boards in the barn that need ta be changed, and we also need a new coat of paint 'round the barn. But don't worry, ah got some friends ta help y'all out so you won't be doing it alone. And that should be it for today. Ah'll also be payin' ya about 30 bits tuh get the job done. But don't slack, I'll be checkin' afterwards. Is that good for y'all now?" She asked, brushing past you. You turn around and nod. She wandered out to the forest of apple trees and began gathering apples. You walk into the barn and look around for the replacements for the wood planks. You spot them at the high level of the barn. You find the ladder that led up to them and climb up it. You find the spot where old wooden planks had been taken out and it had a hammer and nails beside it. You pick up the hammer, but then almost drop it out of your hands when you hear a young voice come from behind you. "Hay there mister!" You quickly stop juggling the hammer and place it on the wood planks beside you and turn around. Your eyes meet a young filly with red mane, yellow coat and a big, red bow attached to her mane. "O-oh, hi there." You nervously scratch the back of your head. "Mah names Applebloom. Ah think mah sis told me 'bout ya. Yer Anon right?" She asked with the cutest smile. You nod and return the smile. "Applebloom. I like that name. So you’re Applejack’s sister I'm guessing?" She nodded as she climbed up the ladder to join you on the higher level of the barn and sat down beside you. "What'cha doin'? Helpin' with some chores?" She asked curiously looking at the big hole in the floor leading down to a pile of hay. "Yeah, I needed some money and Applejack offered to pay me if I helped around the farm. I don't really have much to do anyways, so I thought it would be good for me to do some work." You say as you pick up the hammer and a wooden plank and placed it into its spot. You put a nail in its place and went to slam it down with the hammer when you stopped. "What'cha doin'?" She asked smiling. You look back up at her and point to the wood planks. "Aj wanted me to replace the planks here." You focus back on what you were doing but then stopped again. "Do ya need some help?" You smile in a bit of frustration and look back up at her and sighed. "No, I'm fine. But you should ask Applejack if she needs any. Now I really need to work." You clear your throat and quickly slam the hammer down on the nail, making it go all the way in. Applebloom looked up at you, smiled and nodded then trotted off towards the crop field. You sigh in relief and go back to your job. After you nail the last plank in, you wipe your forehead of sweat and got off your knees and climb down the ladder. You walk out of the barn and look out into the apple tree forest to see if you could spot Applejack. "Hello Anon!” You stop walking and quickly spin around to see Fluttershy dipping a paint brush into a bucket of paint. "H-hi Fluttershy. I see your helping with the painting too?" You assume, walking over to her. She nodded and flew up to a spot she was working on. You hear a gasp come from behind the barn and a pink blur came around the corner and jumped at you, making you fall to the ground. "Hi Anon! How's it goin'?" You open your eyes to two giant blue eyes staring back at yours. "Uhh, good." You answer as you lightly push Pinkie off to the side and get up. You walk over to the buckets of paint and pick up a paint brush. You dip it in the can of paint then look at the barn wall to look for a place to start. "Um, Anon. You could help me um, up here if that's ok..." Fluttershy kindly asked. You smile and fly up to her and started sliding the brush on the wood of the barn. After a long day of working and painting You finally finish and notice the sun was just setting. You sigh in relief and put the paint brush down on the tarp you were standing on. "Thank y'all fer helpin' me paint th' barn, or most of it anyways. It's been a long day and I think y'all should get some rest. We'll continue tomorrow." Applejack then gave you your money, waved and headed to her house, as did the other ponies to their own. You yawn and rub your eyes before heading to Rainbow's house. You make it to the doorstep, and slowly open the door. You see Rainbow dash, happily snoring away, stretched out on the couch. You smile and lie down beside her. She stretched and hummed then smiled. "A-Anon?" She looked at you with tired eyes. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up." "No, it's fine. I was supposed to be waiting for you anyways when you got home but I fell asleep from boredom." She smiled and giggled. "Don't you have a bed you can sleep in?" You ask, playing with her mane. "Yeah, but I like to sleep out here with you. Or you can sleep in the bed with me if you like." She opened her eyes wider and some how managed to look through your eyes and into your soul. You smile and roll your eyes, attempting to break the stare of adorableness. "Well, sure. But your bed is kinda small isn't it?" You remind, getting up. You look down at Rainbow and she stuck out her hooves as in the, 'carry me' motion. You laugh slightly and pick her up and carry her upstairs to her bedroom. She nuzzles your neck as you walk through the door and into the bedroom. You smile and blush a little bit and press your face against hers. You make it to the bed and you put her down, and she grabbed your arm and pulled you into the bed, hugging you. You stretch an arm just far enough without moving, or because you couldn't, to grab the covers and pull it up over top of the two of you. You sigh in exhaust and hug Rainbow for a while. You look at her and kiss the tip of her muzzle. She crossed her eyes and looked down at it and blushed, and looked back up at you. She grinned and quickly launched at you and kissed you. You smile back and continue the kiss. A slight kiss turned into making out and then you both finally stop, panting for air. "Wow, *pant* your a great kisser" Dash complimented. "You *pant* too." You say back. You look out the window as you hear rain drops echo around the house. You shiver and curl up into a small ball and Rainbow noticed. You feel her cuddle closer and wrap her hooves around you and you immediately stop shivering and sigh. "You know, you're so much different when your home or, away from other ponies. Why is that?" You wonder. "Oh, well. Really because when I'm home and around you I feel like I can forget my worries, or let my guard down I guess. I just feel safer here or with you." She confessed, looking up at you. You smile and look back down at her, rubbing her head and scratching behind her ears. "Thanks, I actually feel the same around you." You curl up and snuggle Rainbow dash and you both fall asleep //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6 Power chapter 6 You and Rainbow both wake up to pounding on the door. But just as you were getting up to answer you hear the door crash open and soon Pinkie pie was standing at the foot of the bed. "Quick! Follow me to Sugarcube corner!" And with that she was off. You both look at each other then scramble out of bed. You put your clothes on and follow Rainbow to the door and you head towards Sugarcube corner. On your way there you notice that there was nopony in sight. You make it to the large shop and walk inside and you notice that all the lights were off. When your vision adjusts to the dark you see Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, and Rainbow dash who was standing close to your side. "What's going on?" Rainbow asked out loud, walking up to the window where all the other ponies were crowded at. "Shh! *Gasp* That's Twilight and spike!" Pinkie pie then zoomed to the door and looked out. "Twilight! Spike! Come here! Come, here. Hurry! Before she gets you!" Pinkie whispered loudly. "Wait, who's spike?" You ask. At that moment, Twilight burst through the door with something on her back, but with the dark you couldn't tell what it was. "Who? The zombie pony?!" You turn your attention to the voice and the object that Pinkie pie pointed the flashlight at. "Zooombie pony?" Pinkie pie asked creepily. As you finally make out what the, thing was on Twilights back appeared to be a... Small dragon? "Spike, there are no zombie ponies. Pinkie, what are you doing here alone in the dark?" Twilight asked Pinkie. The small dragon named Spike, hopped off of Twilights back and walked over beside the other ponies. As he was walking, he made eye contact with you as you stare at him in shock, not moving. "I'm not alone in the dark!" The lights dimmed a bit lighter as Pinkie pie finished. Twilight gasped as her friends appeared in her vision in surprise. "Ok then what are you all doing here in the dark?" Twilight asked again. You and spike continue to stare each other down. Suddenly Spike frowned. "Who's this thing?" He pointed his thumb at you and looked back at Twilight. You frown back at him. "We're hidin' from, her!" Applejack took you and Spikes attention away from each other to look at what Applejack was pointing at out the window. All the ponies gathered around the window and spotted a pony, or you think, digging a hole in the ground. You all continue to watch the pony until it suddenly looked at you and all the ponies hid behind the wall, out of sight from the window except for you and Twilight. You suddenly see a familiar filly, Applebloom jump and land her two front hooves on Spikes head and you laugh slightly at the sight. "Did ya see 'er Twilight? Did ya see, Zecora?" "Applebloom, ah told ya never ta say that name!" Applejack accused. "Well, I saw her glance this way." Twilight answered. "Glance, EEEEvily this way?" Pinkie jumped in. You look back out the window at so named Zecora, who was still digging holes in the ground. "And then a bunch of you freak out for no good reason!" Twilight scolded. "No good reason?! Ya call protectin' yer kin no good reason?! Why, as soon as my sister saw Zecora ridin' into town, she started shakin' in her lil' horseshoes." Applejack told. "Diiiiid noooooot" Applebloom corrected as she was being shook by Applejack. As the two fought out their differences, you walk back over to the window and watch, and Twilight came over and joined you. "I don't know what they're all so scared about. Isn't that a zebra?" You ask quietly under Aj and Ab's conversation. "Oh yeah." Twilight agreed. You turn your attention back to the other ponies. "She's mysterious." Fluttershy said. "Sinister" Rainbow dash added. "And SPOoOoky!" Pinkie pie finished. Twilight groaned and you rub your forehead. Twilight walked back up to the window and looked out, and the other ponies rushed up behind her to watch. Zecora suddenly pulled off the hood she had over top of her head and revealed her mane. All the ponies gasped again. "Will you cut that out?" Twilight complained. "Look at those stripes! So garish." Rarity whined. "She's a zebra." Twilight finally told. "A what?!" All the ponies asked at once. "A zebra! and her stripes aren't a fashion choice Rarity, they're what she was born with." Twilight trotted up to Rarity. Rarity then fainted and fell to the ground and spike went over to her. You blew air through your nose and grin. Drama queen. She's as bad as you were when you were little. "Born where? I've never seen a pony like that in these parts, 'cept... Her!" Applejack explained shakily. You look over at Spike who was sneaking into the kitchen while Twilight was lecturing. "That's just it. She lives in, the Everfree forest!" Applejack was cut off by a sound of crashing from the kitchen which sounded like thunder, which you guess fit the moment at the time. "Spike!" Twilight yelled. "Heh, sorry." Spike apologized. Pinkie pie went to look back over at Twilight but then stopped at you. "Oh, hi Anon! I didn't see you there your so quiet!" She said smiled and giggled. Applebloom looked over too and waved, as do you back. "The Everfree forest just ain't natural. The plants grow," "animals care for themselves," Fluttershy continued. "And the clouds move, All on their own!" The ponies yelled in terror. "Huh, sounds a lot like home to me." You shrug your shoulders. The ponies look over at you. "Oh, your home must be horrible!" Fluttershy hovered over and hugged you around the neck. You look back over at Rarity who of course, fainted again. You sigh and face palm yourself. "And that wicked enchantress Zecora lives there doing her evil... stuff! She's so evil I even wrote a song about her!" Pinkie pie then took in a deep breath to start singing. "Heeere we go..." Rainbow rolled her eyes. "She's an evil enchantress..." She jumped up to Rainbow and stared at her. "She does evil dances! And if you look deep in her eyes, she'll put you in trances!" She jumped over to Twilight and grabbed her head and swirls appeared in her eyes. How did she even do that? "Then what will she do? She'll mix up an evil brew!" She grabbed you and shook you violently. "And she'll gobble you up! In a big tastey stew, so WATCH OUT!" She finished the song on the table and was panting for air. "Wow, catchy." Twilight tilted her head. "It's a work in progress." Pinkie said. "This is all just a lot of gossip and rumors. Now tell me; what exactly have you actually seen Zecora do?" Twilight asked as she walked up beside you. "Well... Once a month, she comes into Ponyville." Rainbow started. "OOHHHHH!" Twilight gasped sarcastically. "Then, she lurks by the stores!" Rarity added. "Oh my!" Twilight said dramatically. "And then, she digs at the ground." Fluttershy finished. "Good gracious! Ok, I'm sorry. But how is any of this bad? Maybe she comes to town to visit?" Twilight explained as Applebloom walked up beside her. You nod in agreement. "I agree with Twilight here. I don't think this is that bad, and don't even get me started on what bad is back home." You tell. "Yeah! Maybe she's just tryin' to be neighborly!" Applebloom added. "And maybe she's not lurking by the stores, maybe she's going to them, lurk free, to do some shopping?" Twilight waved her hoof around. "Yeah! Everypony likes to shop. You know what I think?-" Applebloom was cut off by Applejack with, "Applebloom! Hush and let the big pony talk!" "I am a big pony." Applebloom mumbled to herself as she walked away from Twilight. You frown and look back up at Applejack who was still talking to Twilight. "What about digging at the ground? You gotta admit that's weird." Rainbow dash interrupted. "What if she's digging for innocent creatures?" Fluttershy hugged you tighter, making it harder to breathe. "I am sure there is an explanation for everything Zecora does. And if anypony here were actually brave enough to approach her, we would find out the truth." Twilight pointed out while Pinkie ran through her song again. "Well, I'm brave enough; I'm gonna find out myself!" You hear Applebloom whisper aloud as she walked towards the door. "Uhh, guys?" You asked but they all ignore and kept arguing. "You ponies are being ridiculous!" Twilight yelled angrily. "Well, I heard that Zecora eats hay!" Pinkie gasped. "Pinkie, I eat hay. You eat hay!" Twilight threw her hoof into the air. "Girls?" You ask again, raising your voice. "Yeah, but I heard it's the evil way she eats hay." Pinkie said again. "GIRLS!" You yell over top of their argument. "WHAT?!" They all yelled, turning to you. You swallow hard and opened your mouth to speak but Applejack did instead. "Hay, where's Applebloom?" She worried, turning around and looking around the room. "The door's open," Fluttershy spoke. "She went outside!" Rarity finished. "And Zecora's still out there!" Rainbow said, looking out the window. "That silly lil' filly! I told her to stay put!" Applejack worried. You run for the door. "Well, then lets find her!" You then run outside. "Spike, you stay here in case Applebloom come back." Twilight made one last look at spike before following the rest of the ponies outside. "Will do!" Spike said, saluting. Twilight nodded and galloped after you. "Applebloom?" Applejack yelled. Applebloom then turned around and so did Zecora. "You get back here right now!" Aj yelled again. You look down at your feet; you are standing in some sort of blue flower. "Beware! Beware, you pony folk! Those leaves of blue are not a joke!" Zecora rhymed. "Y-you keep your creepy mumbo-jumbo to yourself, ya hear?" Applejack defended. The other ponies started backing her up, besides Pinkie who started sing her song again. "Oh brother..." Twilight face, uh, hoofed. "Beware! Beware!" Zecora yelled again before disappearing into a cloud of fog. "Yeah, back at ya, Zecora! You and your lame curse are the ones who better beware!" Rainbow yelled. "And you! Why couldn't you just listen to yer big sister?" Applejack looked at Applebloom. "I...I.." Applebloom stuttered. "Who knows what kind of nasty curse Zecora could have just put on you?" Aj asked again. Applebloom looked at the ground in shame then up at you with puppy eyes. You look down at the ground but then purk up when Pinkie started speaking again. "Just like in my song! She's an evil enchantress! She does the dances, and the trances!" She jumped around. "You guys, there's no such thing as curses!" Twilight corrected. You look over at her and raise an eyebrow and she looked over at you and frowned. "Well, that's interesting to hear coming from Miss Magic Pants herself." Rainbow teased, poking the tip of Twilight's horn. Twilight continued to talk and you look back over to the misty area where Zecora disappeared into. You take a step towards the place you were looking at but then turn around when Pinkie pie took hold of your hand with her mouth and dragged you along with the other ponies. Dash and you make it back home finally and you sit down on the bed and lay down on your back. Rainbow dash climbed onto the bed and looked to you from a different angle, making her face that was staring down at you upside down. "Also, Vinyl said she wanted to meet up with you tomorrow, I guess she wanted to talk to you more about the music." She said, poking her hoof at the sheets on the bed, looking down. "What's wrong?" You ask, getting and sitting up with your back against the back of the bed. "It's just that, I kinda wanted to ask you something..." She asked as her cheeks turned a bit red as she lied in between your legs and looked up at you. "Yeah, anything." You smile. "Did you maybe, I dunno, maybe spend a day with each other, like just hang out?" She asked fiddling with your hands as her cheeks burned brighter. "So a date?" You figure as your heart rate picked up a bit. "Ugh, I hate that word. But yeah I guess so." She smiled. "Sure. When were you thinking?" You wonder, running your fingers through her mane. "Well, I was going to say tomorrow, but then Vinyl wanted to see you, so we can do it some other time..." She looked at you, disappointed, with some tears in her eyes. Oh god, please don't start crying. Out of almost all the things in the world, or this world that's my greatest weakness! Especially with brightly coloured ponies. "Well, I'll tell Vinyl some other time we can do that, your more important." You tell, looking down at her and patting her on the head. "Really?" She got excited and smiled brightly. You nod and kiss her on the forehead. She flapped her wings a few times from happiness and continued to smile brightly. Then after a while, she suddenly started struggling and grunting as she moved her wings around. "Ugh, ever since I got out of the forest my wings have been hurting really bad... Please?" She asked with puppy eyes as she spread her wings out and put them into your hands. You roll your eyes and pick up one of her wings and start rubbing them. She exhaled loudly and sank further between your legs. After you had finished both wings, she had already fallen asleep. The position you were in was kinda weird, you couldn't really move without waking her up, so you were stuck like this utill morning. You sigh and close your eyes to rest and fall asleep. You wake up and went to rub your eyes when you feel something furry rub against your face. Your eyes immediately shoot open to see that instead of hands, you had... HOOVES?! Your heart stopped as you look at the rest of your body. You had almost the same colour as your normal skin colour but a bit darker, and a black mane and tail. You almost screamed but then cover your mouth with your hooves and immediately wake up Rainbow dash when you noticed something with her wings. "Uhh, Dash?" you stutter. "Oh, good morning Anon..." She stretched and then stopped when she looked at you. "A-Anon? W-what the-?" She jumped off of you and went up to fly but then crashed into the floor. You point to her wings. "Look! They're backwards!" You yell in horror. She pointed at you. "Y-your a p-pony!" She screamed and so do you. You were just about to step off the bed when dash put her hoof in front of you. "Wait! Don't! Your not a pegasus, you’ll fall through the clouds!" She kept her hoof in front of you. "Well, I was able to when I was human, with my powers..." You explain. "Well, try. Just put a hoof on the cloud." She told, holding her hooves on your shoulders to give you support and to catch you if you fall. Your hoof went straight through the cloud and you struggle to go back on the bed. You suddenly feel as if there was no floor. "Ok Anon, I'll take you back to the ground. Hop on!" She backed up to the bed and both of her flanks bumped into your legs, making you fall onto her back. "Uhh, where are we going?" You ask, wrapping your hooves around her neck. "Twilights house. She has to know something about what's going on." She headed for the door and stepped outside and started flying in the air, or more wobbling. "Hold on!" She yelled. She started flying upside down and you gripped tighter. Your hooves slid from her neck to around her back and chest so you didn't choke her. "Dash just fly to the ground!" You yell and spat the hair from her tail getting in your mouth. "We're almost there! Wait there's her house!" She zoomed down towards the house and struggled to stop, but instead before she crashed into the side of her house you crash through the door and into Pinkie pie who was on the other side. You push her pink tail out of your face and hers was on the other side, staring at you. "*Gasp* Pfhh plufhh plifhp!-" She spat all over you. "Pinkie it's me!" You interrupt her. "Anon? You're a...pony?" Twilight turned to you and walked up to you. You get up and try to stand up on your two hind legs but fail and fall on your back. "[thud] Ow! [thud] Oh! She's [thud] trying to say-ow!- Zecora [thud]-oh!-[crash] she slapped us all with a-ow- curse!" Rainbow finally flew through the door and got stuck in a ladder. "I'm afraid I have to agree. and my, my who is this stallion?" She trotted up to you and batted her eyes. "Uhh, hi Rarity, it's me. Anon." You repeat, looking at her. "Wha-? Anon! But you're a pony! And, very attractive~" she giggled. "I hate to say I told ya so, Twilight, but I told ya so!" You all look over at Applejack whose voice was surprisingly higher pitched and she was standing on Applebloom’s back, about 3 to 4 inches tall. Being in this form just makes you really uncomfortable because you are naked, but for actually being in this form you guess it was natural. But it just felt wrong, especially around these ponies. "It's a curse I tells ya!" Aj yelled. "But Fluttershy... Seems just fine!" Twilight looked over at Fluttershy. "Yes, there doesn't seem to be a thing wrong with her!" Rarity protested. "Fluttershy, are you ok? Is there something wrong with you?" Twilight asked. Fluttershy nodded, scrunching her face slightly. "Would ya care to tell us?" Twilight tilted her head. Fluttershy just scrunched up her face more then hid behind you. "Soo, you're not gonna tell us?" Twilight asked once more. Fluttershy nodded. "Yes you're not? Or yes you will?" Twilight started getting frustrated, you could tell by her face. "Good gravy girl, what's wrong with you?!" Applejack stomped her hoof. "I don't wanna talk about it," Fluttershy said in a surprisingly new deep voice that made your eyes grow wide and turn around to look at her. Spike immediately started laughing. "This is hilarious! Look at all of you! We got: Hairity, Rainbow Crash, Spitty Pie, Apple Teeny, Flutterguy, and... uh... I got nothin'" Spike looked between you and Twilight and shrugged his shoulders. "This is no joke, Spike. Now start looking for more books so I can find a cure!" Twilight stomped her hoof down on the floor. You look over at Rainbow who was struggling to her her head out from the ladder she was stuck in, and you go over to help free her. You lift up the ladder and she flew out with ease. "I think we'll find a cure to this curse at Zecora's place!" Rainbow said as she wobbled in the air. "It's not a curse!" Twilight blurted out and made Rainbow fly backwards and crash into you. "I agree with Dash! We'll go to Zecora's and force her to remove this hex!" Applejack yelled from her tiny high pitched voice. "It's not a hex either!" Twilight corrected. You push Rainbow off of you and put a hoof on her back to make sure she didn't try flying again. "Then what would you call it?" You ask urgently. You eventually find yourselves in a big argument, and you look over at Applebloom who was walking towards the door and then had Aj jump into her mane and they both disappear out the door. You reach out a hoof towards Applebloom as to make her stop but then was too late to say stop or anything, and you bit your lip and turn back to the other ponies. "I don't care what you say, Twilight. It's time to pony up and confront Zecora. Come on, girls. Are you with me?" Rainbow flew back up again, ignoring your hoof holding her down. "I am-plhf!" Pinkie spat. "And I as well." Rarity waved some hair away from her face. "I don't know, seems awfully dangerous," Fluttershy spoke again. Spike giggled hastarrically. "How about you Applejack? Applejack?" Rainbow asked again to no response. All the ponies gasped at they looked at the empty table. "Phes gone-plhf!" Pinkie spit all over your face and you wipe it in disgust. "Or somepony stepped on her!" Rarity panicked. All the ponies checked their hooves. Twilights face turned ugly. "Or sat on her?" She looked at her rump. All the other ponies did the same and you hit your face with your hoof. "You guys, she left to- what are you doing?" You turn around to see Fluttershy staring at your rump. "Uhh, just checking..." She quietly blushed and backed away. You sigh and drop your head and open your mouth to speak when you’re cut off by Dash. “Rarity’s hair!” she pointed to Rarity. Pinkie immediately started searching through her hair. You shake your head and gallop after Applebloom, not caring if they saw you or not. You make it to the entrance of the forest, hesitated then ran in, wobbling, still getting used to the new pony form. “Stop right there! Turn around right now, missy!” Applejack popped out of Applebloom’s mane. Ab looked up at her and grinned. “No.” she smiled. “No?! You can't ignore a direct order from your big sister!” Aj growled. Applebloom tossed Applejack into the air and caught her in her mouth and placed her on a high branch above a bush full of thorns. “Hehehe. Sorry, Applejack, but I'm the big sister now.” Applebloom giggled. “Applebloom, you come back here right this instant! I'm gonna tell Big Mcintosh on you! Aw, pony feathers.” Aj sighed and looked around but couldn't go anywhere. She lied down on the small branch but then perked back up when she saw and heard a pony running nearby her, and after a quick glance she recognized it to be you. "*Gasp* Anon! Anon get over 'ere and help me!" She jumped up and down but almost lost her balance and struggled to keep on. By the time she looked back up, you were gone. "Applebloom! Applejack where are you?!" You yell but then stop running to catch your breath. "Anon? Why'd ya follow me?" You turn to the fillies voice in front of you and run up to her. "Why did you leave without us? And where is Applejack?" You look around to see if anypony had followed you, or any other type of danger. "Oh, don't worry about her. Quick! Follow me, or I'm gonna lose Zecora!" She grabbed your hoof as she continued sneaking behind the zebra. You finally make it to a big tree, not as big as Twilight's, but a lot creepier. You spot Zecora inside the hut making some sort of soup or something in a cauldron, talking and making incantations. Applebloom continued to walk towards the hut, not really thinking. "Applebloom wait!" You slowly wobble after her. She walked through the door and Zecora quickly turned to her, and you shyly peek around the corner of the doorframe. There was a silence for a while then Applebloom spoke. "Uh, ahm, really... Sorry for mah older sis and her friends for bein' mean to y'all." Applebloom stuttered. You stand up straight and put your hoof against Applebloom's to make her feel more safe, somehow. Zecora looked from Ab to you and looked down. "Do not worry, little filly. For I am making a potion, to clear all your worry." She looked back up at the two of us. You tilt your head in slight confusion of why she rhymed like that. "Though there is one more thing I need, a very important type of seed." She rhymed again, showing you a picture of the seed. Applebloom nodded and headed back out the door and you follow close behind. As you make your way back, you both hear crashing noises coming from the hut. After they stopped, Applebloom ran ahead with the seeds for Zecora and you trot slowly after her. "Zecora! I think I found all the things ya asked for." Applebloom looked around at the messy room. There were broken pots and liquid all over the floor, along with the giant cauldron tipped over on the floor with green liquid spilled onto the floor. "What in Ponyville is goin' on here?" "*Gasp* Apple Bloom! You're okay!" Applejack yelled with her tiny, high pitched voice from Zecora's head, wrestling her ear. "Why wouldn't ah be?" Ab asked again. "Wait, where's Anon? Did he follow you?" Twilight asked in a slightly angry voice. At that moment you walk into the wrecked room and all the ponies except for Zecora and Applebloom gasp. "Anon!" Rainbow flew towards you. You put your hooves up and brace for impact from the wobbly pegasus. She smashed into you, head first and you both fly out the open door. "Zecora is an evil enchantress who cursed us and was gonna cook you up into soup!" Twilight stomped her hoof. Both Zecora and Applebloom started laughing. "Oh Twilight. Did those silly fillies finally get in yer head? You know there's no such thing as a curse." Applebloom confronted. You got up and carried Rainbow on your back as you walk into the room. "Applebloom, sweetie, You can't just stand there and tell me this isn't a curse." Twilight pointed her hoof to the other ponies as Rainbow clung tightly to your back. "This isn't a curse!" Applebloom corrected. "Bad da-boom." You whisper into Rainbow's ear and she giggled. "If you will remember back, the words I spoke were quite exact. [flashback: Beware, beware you pony folk. Those leaves of blue are not a joke.]" how the heck did she do that? You thought to yourself. "It was a warnin'. About that blue plant. It's called Poison Joke." Applebloom taught. You start zoning out while looking at all the decorations that had been cracked and broken. "What happened in here?" You whisper to Rainbow under the conversation the other ponies were having. "Oh, uhh, I may have tried to fly in here. While being rid by Applejack." Your eyes narrowed in confusion and wonder. You open your mouth to speak but she said something before you could. "I'll tell you later." She kissed your neck. "Come on girls, lets head back to Ponyville." Twilight waved her hoof. You walk towards the door, still wobbling a bit but mostly because you had a pony lying on your back. "Look Rose! How awful!" "The wicked enchantress has cursed them all!" "The horror, the horror!" Twilight walked up to one of the shops and knocked on the door and a few seconds later, a pony answered, worriedly peeking through the door. "Daisy, we need to talk." So after some more walking and talking, and other stuff you don't care about you finally make it to the spa, where Zecora poured the potion into a big tub of water. Twilight and Rarity both climbed in and sighed in relaxation. Fluttershy also walked towards the tub, put a hoof in but then quickly pulled away. "What's wrong Fluttershy?" Rarity asked stroking her mane that was now back to normal. "It's, umm, hot." She said in her low voice. All the ponies stared at her and Fluttershy blushed from embarrassment then hopped into the pool after a quick squeal. Twilight went under water and Pinkie ran and jumped high above Rarity and Fluttershy, then fell down on top of them, taking them go underwater with Pinkie. Both Twilight and Pinkie poked their heads above the water level. Pinkie felt her tongue and Twilight felt her horn to find that they were back to normal. You walk up the stairs to the pool and start to walk into the water. Thankfully the water wasn't deep because you were sure you would have trouble staying above the water. Suddenly, from your neck down, your whole body that was underwater started painfully aching for a second, then felt refreshed. You brought your arm up from out of the water, hoping you would see your bright skin and hands other than furry hooves. You saw exactly what you wanted and you sigh in relief, then quickly splash your head under water. When you came back to surface you felt your face and smile then laugh. "Wow, I've never been so happy to be me." You close your eyes and relax. You hear Rainbow climb in beside you and also sigh of relaxation. "Miss Zecora, I would love to get the recipe for this bath. It's simply luxurious!" One of the spa workers asked. "Applejack! Hey where's Applejack?!" Applebloom panicked. Every pony in the pool started splashing around, trying to find her. "I'm right here, little sis. I ain't tiny no more!" You look down at the orange mare who had her rump stuck in a tiny cup, now back to full size. "Oh! I have never felt so lovely in all my life!" Rarity smiled. "Oh, my gosh! I never realized how horrible it is not to be able to talk!.." Pinkie pie started. Dash leaned over the side of the tub away from Pinkie, plugging her ears with her hooves, moaning. You chuckle at her and pat her head and she looked up at you and smiled. "It was the worst! Don't you agree, Fluttershy?" Pinkie turned to Fluttershy, and everypony waited for her answer. "...yes." She smiled as she spoke with her natural voice. Every pony started laughing and you join in. After the laughter died down, Zecora went with the spa tender and Applebloom followed, the only sound you hear was sighing and water splashing. You gasp suddenly remembered something. "Uh oh..." You quietly mumble, then starting to sink further under water. "What's wrong?" Rainbow frowned at you. Twilight looked around the room then back to you, grinning very uncomfortably. "I know... You forgot your clothes, didn't you?" Twilight raised an eyebrow. You sink deeper, so you are just eyes and forehead. The other ponies started smiling too, and you look beside you to Rainbow, who was with the rest of the pack. "Didn't, you?" Twilight repeated again. You sigh, but from underwater all it was, was bubbles. You poked your head back up from out of the water. "Ok, yeah. Does it matter?" You try. "Well, it doesn't to us, but I know it does to you." Twilight came back with. You look over at Rainbow dash, who was whispering to Fluttershy and Pinkie, then they all nodded. "How about this Anon, I'll go get your clothes. If, you play a game of truth or dare with us. Deal?" Rainbow looked at you along with the other ponies. "Truth or dare? Is that the only game you ponies play around me?" You urgently ask. "Well, there are other games we could play. But judging by your standards, it'll be a bit worse." Twilight explained. "Aren't we supposed to get out now anyways?" You try to avoid saying yes to the deal, but you knew it would just come back. "Zecora said after we are back to normal we have to wait another 15 or 20 minutes before we get out, so were stuck here." Twilight folded her hooves and raised an eyebrow. You let out a long sigh and rub your forehead. “Well, either way you guys are going to see it so… fine.” You give up. “Cool! Ok, so who’s going first?” Rainbow pretended to look around the room and not know who should go. The safest way for you to do this, was to choose truth every time and not get too mean with dares, though they will still find a way. “I’ll go first! Alright, uhh Twilight, Truth or dare?” Applejack looked over at the purple unicorn, who suddenly perked her head up in excitement from the question. “Dare!” She smiled brightly. “Alright, I dares you, too…” Aj looked over at you and grinned. Fuck. You bang your head on the tub behind your head. “This is going to be, a long 15 minutes…” You mumble to yourself. “to make out with Anon for at least five seconds.” Aj finished. You and Twilight look at each other and everypony ooed. “Please dont tell me you’re ok with this!” You whisper to Rainbow, who had started chanting, 'do it'. She looked down at you and smiled. “dont worry, they’re my friends and I know them. You’ll live.” She giggled. Your eyes grew wide. You couldn’t believe it. You’re screwed. The only pony you could trust to back you up or save you was with the rest of the human-raping pack. You turn back to Twilight, who was swimming closer and closer to you and your fear grew larger. She smiled bigger as she sensed the fear and leaped at you, mouth wide open. Longest five seconds of your life, you’ll just say that. after she backed off, your heart rate and breathing rate continued at the fast rate they were at. “Alright, Rainbow. Truth or dare.” Twilight smiled, still staring at you. “Dare.” Rainbow replied, bumping your shoulder. She licked her lips as she stared at yours, which sent a shiver down your spine. “I dare you to, sit on Anon for the rest of the game.” Twilight shrugged her shoulders. Pretty harmless at least you guess, especially coming from Twilight. Rainbow flew up and sat down on your chest, making her wet hair fall down in your face. “Ok Anon, my turn. Truth or dare?” Dash asked, as she wiggled her rump around on your chest. You knew that she was the only pony you had a chance to say dare and trust she wouldn’t do anything disgusting, but judging by how shes been acting you had second thoughts. “Ok, fine dare! because apparently theres no other ponies in this room.” You throw your hand up which made a small splash. the ponies giggled. “I dare you to kiss Pinkie on the lips.” Rainbow laughed. Pinkie zoomed over with a blink of an eye and gave you a big Bugs Bunny like kiss on the lips and sat back down beside you. You shake your head and stare at her and she winked at you. “Well at least it was quick.” You cheer up a bit. “Alright Twilight. Truth or dare?” You look at her grimly. “Dare.” She narrowed her eyes in the ‘try me’ way. You grin back. “I dare you to make out with Pinkie for ten seconds.” Twilight growled. You knew you were going to get it. but if you were going to anyways you might as well have some fun yourself. Twilight did as she was told and sat back down across from you. “Ok, how about this. Aj, Fluttershy, and Rainbow. Truth or dare?” Twilight asked. Yep, here comes hell. The three ponies stared at each other and agreed on dare. “Ok. Fluttershy and Rainbow pin Anon down while Aj humps Anon for 20 seconds.” Twilight looked at you and smiled. Rainbow flew back into the room, hooves with clothes in them and she draped them over the side of the tub, then walked into the room where the spa workers were in. You hop out and put on your clothes behind a big box, even though it was still hard to keep away from Fluttershy’s eyesight. After you were done, you met up with Dash and the other ponies and you walk out of the hellhole. “My, my, what a way to end a day!” Rarity hummed. the other ponies started talking in agreement but you kept quiet. Twilight looked over her shoulder at you and you roll your eyes. You wanted to try and finger her but it probably wouldn't do much. Dash grabbed your hand with her hoof and pulled you back. ”Anon, Fluttershy wants to know if you’d wanna stay at her place tonight, are you ok with that?” Rainbow whispered. “Why?” You stall. “I dunno, she just wanted to know.” You look over at Fluttershy and she blushed. “Sure I guess… I just hope its not some kind of trap or something.” You laugh softly and so did Dash. Rainbow and all the other ponies except Fluttershy went back home. “I-Its getting dark, we should go back to my place if thats ok…” She faded out quieter. You laugh and pull her closer to your side. “Ok, lead the way.” She blushed a bit brighter and walked out of town, still close to your side with your hand in her mouth. After a while of walking you finally make it to the cottage you first saw when you got here. You walk into the room and the whole house was quiet. You close your eyes and smile. “You’re lucky to live here. I couldn’t wait to get my own house away from town. I just love quiet, though I usually don’t like to be alone.” You confess. “M-Me too. Did you want some tea?” she offered. You look around the room and smile. “Oh, yeah sure. You know, I don’t think I ever did thank you properly for helping me. I probably wouldn't have made it this far if it weren’t for you.” You look down at her. She flew up to your eye level and kissed you as she stared into your eyes for a few moments. After a while she pulled away and smiled. “Now you did.” She flew into the kitchen. These ponies were amazing. One moment they are crazy sex animals, the next they are peaceful and… Normal… You sit down on the couch and Fluttershy flew in to join you. “It’ll be ready in a few minutes.” She hovered above you then softly landed on top of your stomach and lay her head on your chest, listening to your breathing. “So, why did you want me over here?” You wonder, petting her head and mane. “Oh, well, I um… wanted to g-get to know you better…” She stuttered. You knew she was holding something back, you think you knew what it was, but there was something else besides that. “...and?...” You continue. “*Sigh* and I was, feeling kind of… jealous that you were staying at Rainbow’s house.” She said quickly and curled up a bit. You chuckle softly. “It’s ok. Rainbow was starting to scare me, so I kinda wanted to get out of that house for a while anyways.” You feel her relax and dig her head deeper into your neck and under your chin. Her mane poofed up in your face. “Your mane is so soft.” You complement. “Oh, thank you.” You feel her face become a little bit hotter. There was a sudden ding that came from the kitchen. “Oh, that must be the tea. um e-excuse me please.” She flew off your chest and into the kitchen. You have a sudden hot flash and brake into a sweat. You definitely didn’t want Fluttershy to start licking you so you just take off your shirt to cool down. Fluttershy walked back in with a cup of tea in her mouth and another being held with her wings. She leaned her head down towards you and you take the cup from her mouth. “Thanks.” You sigh. “You’re welcome.” She answered. She took a sip of her tea and put it down on the table beside the couch and lied back on top of you in her original position. You take a sip and put your tea down too and close your eyes and exhaled. You felt cold air rushing on your arm and you open your eyes to see Fluttershy sniffing you arm. She ran her tongue up your arm and to your face and smiled then giggled. She put her head back your upper chest and grabbed your arm with her mouth and kept it there. You feel her tongue wrap and unwrap around your arm as she drooled onto your face. You finish off your tea then scratch Fluttershy’s ears to make her a bit sleepy, but it sort of just made her a bit more kinky. She climbed further up your body and slowly slid her tongue up the side of your cheek, with saliva running down your face. You try to push her head away but she would just whine like a sad dog and you had to leave her to what she was doing until she got tired, which you doubted would ever happen. You had to close your eyes as she moved up your face so she wouldn’t stab your eye with her tongue. After she was done with your face, you go to wipe it with your arm but her hooves were holding them down. You start to struggle as she moved down from your chest to your waist. You hear your zipper unzip. You struggle more and more to move your arms but it just made her get more excited. Wow this pony may look and act small, but she sure is strong. You suddenly feel her stop moving around and her breathing became calm. You look down at her. Wow, she fell asleep. You move your arms and lift her head away from the area, pick her up and walk to her bedroom. When you make it to her room, you pull down the sheets on the bed and put her in it. She curled up and all she was, was a small, cute little harmless ball of pink and yellow. You don’t know how, but everything about her was cute. even her breathing was somehow adorable. You pull off your pants, put them beside the bed and sit on the bed beside Fluttershy. She smiled briefly and reached out her hooves and searched for you. You move a little closer and she found your arm then grabbed you and pulled you into her. She hugged you tightly and rubbed her head against your face, and you couldn’t help but snuggle her back. She started, uhh, sleep nuzzling your chest. It tickled a little bit and you laugh for a second and then she stopped and let out a long sigh and wrapped her legs and tail around your waist and snuggled into you, hugging you tightly. She was like the best teddy bear or sleep thing to have when you’re sleeping. You wrap your arms around her then fall asleep //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8 Power Chapter 8 You wake up with a tingly sensation on your face. (Great way to start the chapter) You open your eyes to see a brightly coloured rainbow tail covering your whole face. You chuckle softly and take your right arm to brush it out of the way of your vision. The second you move her tail, the natural light from the window breaches your eyes and you close them in response. You squint your eyes about halfway open and look down at Dash. She was curled up in a cute ball, leaning her neck and upper back on your chest and hugging your left arm, slowly and captivatingly breathing softly with her eyes cutely closed. You smile at the sight and bring your arm up to scratch behind her- WAIT! You quickly bring your hand away from her head. You can’t do that! If you do, she’ll be clinging onto you until she wakes up! You take your hand and rest it beside you, then smile some more as you look at the rainbow pony. But her face was too cute! You argue with yourself on whether to do it or not, and with a lot of fighting, you find it actually possible to avoid making her smile, and cling to you. And after thinking the aftermath of your choice, you feel her stretch and move her hooves up around your chest and wrap it into a warm hug, and she grinned a bit. You give in and pull her into a tight hug and scratch her head and rub her back. You feel her tighten her grip around you and wrap her hind legs around yours, making you smile. As in the ‘Damn it,’ way, and in the ‘totally worth it!’ smile. You hear her hum as she climbed up your chest and neck a bit higher with a nuzzle and stopped with a smile as she reached your face. “Good morning Anon.” She hummed as she opened her eyes, revealing the darkness of her eye lids above her eyes, having a bit of a sexy look. “Morning Dash.” You nod back to her and smile as she began nuzzling under your chin and your chest, causing you to bring your hand up and begin rubbing her belly with a steady and light motion. She hummed and moaned in delight as she rolled onto her back and slowly and adorably squirmed around with a huge smile on her face. You both chuckle as she shifted around on the bed under your hands. After her asking to stop and her giggling some more, you let her go and she pants for air. After she calmed down and wiped her forehead of sweat, you soon realize that you were sweating more as she gave you the grin that you didn't like. "Now... I've learned how to get you back for that..." She grinned at you as you begin to sweat buckets, which only made it worse. You chuckle and grow a grin at you hoped made you look confident, but she just grinned wider and climbed further up your waist then chest and up to your face, her eyes in a heavier look. She ran her tongue all the way from your neck up to your lips, then all across your face. "So, how long were you tickling me for? Ah well, I'm sure you don't care how long I do this for, you'll want me to keep going." She grinned some more. These fucking ponies. If you thought differently you wouldn't expect them to actually be brightly coloured ponies who live in a land ruled by two princess alicorn ponies. Just because they act normal one time then like this the other. After she was done coating your whole face with saliva, she tugged on your shirt to pull it off. You go to help her, but have an idea when you take it off. As you take it off, you hold the collar tightly around your face and pull of most of the drool and it gets stained into the collar of the shirt. Damn it. Now you're going to have Rainbow drool smell right under your nose for the rest of the time you have this shirt. Though, if you thought about it, it didn’t really matter. Because this shirt had already been soaked in Dash’s and Vinyl’s drool so it didn’t change anything. As she began licking up and down your chest, it begins to tickle more and you begin to laugh loudly. She just chuckles and licks more, up and down your arms and chest. When she was finally done with your chest and arms, you were out of laughs and breath, along with Dash who was out of breath and saliva. Though she just magically generated more as she nuzzled your crotch and you feel a twitch in your part and she notices, grinning wildly. You chuckle a bit at her reaction and yourselves reaction to the nuzzle she gave you in the area. Really? You think to yourself. And it was easy for her to get to you too. You were only wearing some boxers and her muzzle was almost completely inside the emergency piss hole in front of them. As you start to feel her warm breath on your junk, your heart rate starts to pick up as you begin to feel confused; on whether to pull away or just lie there and enjoy it. Though after a bit of thinking, you know this was wrong... "Dash..." You try and mumble out. She just crawls back up your chest and puts a hoof on your lips and one on the pillow beside your head. As you look into her eyes, you find them slowly moving to the right and at the clock. Your eyes widen and you almost spit her hoof out of your mouth at the sight. 12:27. "12:27?! Oh god, Twilight's gonna have my ass if I'm not there!" You scramble out of bed and put on your clothes then head for the door. "Literally!" You then jump out the door and fly as fast as you can towards her library. As you jump from her door, you dive down then use the speed to go up into the air. You also notice that all the snow had melted. You get to her house much faster than expected, which at the time seemed good, until you get closer to her house and can't slow down. You tuck in a bit as you prepare for impact from Twilights door, and you land a bit away from the door, landing in a roll through the door and into some books. You rub your head as you open your eyes slowly in pain. You hear some trotting come down the stairs and to the pile of books. "Rainbow, stop crashing into my house! I have a door you know!-" She paused as she recognized who it was. "Oh, Anon!" She lifted some books off of you and your eyes met, that's when you noticed she was a little... Off. You climb out of the debris and she suddenly levitates you up out of the pile, checks you out, making you roll your eyes and she trots up stairs with you in her magic grasp. She dumps you on the bed and goes to grab her clipboard, then sits on the bed beside you, breathing a bit heavier than usual. "Something wrong, Twilight?" You ask, finding a way to stay a bit longer of a way from the 'experimenting'. She perks up at your voice, then tilts her head a bit at your question. "You...Care?" She put her clipboard down and you see her calm down a bit. "Yeah, sure. Anything for my best friends..." You say with slight sarcasm. She smiled and sighed, and you follow it with one of your own. Hopefully feeling this was a way out of what you came here for. "I'm just a bit, tired and edgy. You see, the summer sun celebration is coming really soon and I have to get some ponies working on Celestia’s visit. But I'm just having a bit of trouble with it." She looked down and her ears dropped. You frown slightly and look back up at her and she does the same with you. "And you're the one who has to host the whole thing?" You ask, think of a way maybe to try and help her. "Well, Celestia put me in charge for it, and I just don't want to take the chance of failing her." She looked out the window. You clear your throat to ask your question, then turn her head back towards you. "Well, maybe I can help." Her eyes widen along with a slim smile. "Really?" Her smile grew slightly bigger. You nod with a smile of your own. Her smile grew full and she hopped at you for a warm hug, and you pull her in with a sigh of relief through your nose, hoping that will get her off of your back for a while. After she pulled away, you notice that her mane had gone back to normal, along with the rest of her, and she quickly turned around and used her magical grasp to grab another clipboard. "Ok, so first we need to do a quick check of the town outside. You take this, and check off everything you see that's done." She told as she handed you the clipboard and a quilt. Well, seems easy enough. You mean, looking at the checklist it seemed simple. You take a look at the writing utensil, and give out a quick and quiet chuckle, studying it. Twilight tilted her head in slight confusion. "What's wrong? Do you know how to use it?" She moved forward and studied you a bit. You shake then nod your head, snapping you back to reality. "Oh, yeah, it's just I haven't used one before, but I think I'll figure it out." You take a second look at the checklist then rest your back on the head of the bed as you flip through the rest of the pages, then stop when there was suddenly a crash from downstairs. "What was that?" You wonder as Twilight got up from the bed and hurried down the stairs. you stand up and follow her down them, and your eyes meet the same little dragon from Sugarcube Corner. “Ohhh, hurry up Spike! This place isn’t going to clean itself!” You turn you attention back to Twilight, who had started cleaning up the library. “It also didn’t mess itself up…” You look back to the small dragon named Spike, who mumbled to himself. “Princess Celestia will be here tomorrow!” Twilight said a bit irritated as she continued to clean. “I thought this was just an unofficial casual visit?” Spike wondered, continueing to pick up some more of the library’s belongings. You take a quick scan back at the clipboard in your hand with hundreds upon hundreds of words, with little check boxes beside them. “There’s nothing casual with a visit from royalty! I want this place to be spotless, and you’ve barely made a dent in the clutter!” You turn you attention back to Twilight, and Spike waddled back across the room, then stopped as he noticed you in his peripheral vision. “Oh, it’s you again.” He turned back to his work of picking up books. “Hello to you too.” You say sarcastically, blowing a bit of air out of you nose. You hear Twilight sigh. “I suppose it’s time you two formally introduced;” Twilight turned both you and Spikes attention as she walked forward and in between you and Spikes vision. “Spike, this is Anon, Anon, Spike!” She pointed between the two of you, a bit rushly seeming as she stared at the clock and then through the window. Instead of shaking hands you both instead just awkwardly stare at each other for a while, then say hey at the same time. He went back to his work as he climbed up a ladder with some books in his arms. “Maybe you should, start reading them! One at a time, whahaha!” He squealed as he fell into a pile of other books, then poked his head out from the pile. “Everything’s got to be perfect, no time for fooling around!” Twilight walked over to Spike and started dusting him off with the a duster that she had in her magical grasp. “You know,” Spike started, pushing some books away from him. “this would be an awful lot easier if there wasn’t two of us here getting under each others feet.” “Great idea, you clean, I’ll go see how everyone elses preparations are coming. Come on Anon!” Twilight told as she grabbed you along with her out the door. “Well maybe I should- Urgh!” You hear Spike complain as Twilight shuts the door behind you. You turn back to Twilight when you hear her let out a sigh. “Ok, you still have the list?” She asked, taking a quick look around the town. You hold it up for her to see and her eyes lead then end at the object in your hand, and she grew a warm smile. “Great! Lets get started!” She beamed and started trotting towards the middle of the town, causing you to have to jog to keep up with her. “We should head over to see how the food’s doing at Sugarcube Corner, and check on things on the way there.” She continued moving fast, and you make it to her side. “Twilight slow down, Give me some time to look around!” You pant slightly, and she slowed down a bit, slow enough for you to only have to speedwalk to keep up with her. You cross a bridge towards a crowd of busy ponies, and stop at two ponies who were raising a small banner, which read “Welcome Princess Celest” “What happened to the rest of her name?” Twilight says as you turn to her. “We couldn’t fit it all in.” She told, in a sort of whiny voice. “You can’t hang a banner that says ‘Welcome Princess Celest!, take it down and try again.” Twilight ordered, then took off in another direction. You take a quick scan around and check off some things on the list then take off in Twilight’s direction. You see Twilight stop at Bon Bon, who was watering some flowers, then ran off again in the direction of Sugarcube Corner. You stop where Twilight had stopped, panting for air then check something else off on the list. You run towards Sugarcube Corner, but not before you wave hello then goodbye to Bon Bon. You take off towards the sweet shop and stop at the door and walk inside, leaning on your kneecaps. “Pinkie, what are you doing?! Those sweets are supposed to be for the princess!” “I-I know, that’s why I’m tasting them! Somepony has to make sure that everything is tasty enough to touch the royal tongue!” Pinkie told as she stuck out her tongue and pointed to some white icing on it. You wave to Pinkie and she smiles back after waving, then clears her throat to have another speech. “And I, Pinkie pie, declare that these treats are fit for a king, or a queen, or a princess!” Pinkie told as she marched over to another cake and opened her mouth enormously, when you suddenly hear somepony barge through the door. “Twilight, Anon, Pinkie! You won't believe- oh, I’m sorry, was I interrupting?” Fluttershy skidded in the room. “No, come on in and make yourself at home!” Pinkie welcomed as she suddenly unleashed her tongue which was 10 times the size of a normal estimated tongue, making you jump back in surprise and slight disgust. After she swallowed it in one go and got a sight of your reaction, she grinned and licked her lips, viciously wiggling her eyebrows. She turned back to Fluttershy. “What’s goin’ on Fluttershy?” Pinkie hopped down from the table and stood beside you, causing your hand to find it’s way to her head and began scratching behind her ears. “You won’t believe what I found at the edge of the Everfree Forest. Come on out little guy, it’s ok” Fluttershy turned and spoke into her mane, and two green eyes poke out, then flew out, revealing it’s blue body. When suddenly a yellow one and brown one flew out after the first one, and Flutters expression suddenly changed. “Three?” “They’re amazing!- What are they?” Twilight piped up and trotted over to Fluttershy to examine one of the small creatures. “I’m not sure, I’m also not sure where these other two came from.” She pointed to the small animals. You see the yellow one hover around Twilight, and the brown one landed on your index finger. It purred and rubbed up against your hand, you smile and chuckle and it flies away back over to Fluttershy. “Pinkie, do you want the other one?” Fluttershy asked. Pinkie stuck out her tongue in disgust. “Blughh, a parasprite? Are you kidding?” Pinkie trotted out of the room and stopped in the doorway. “Ughh?” Fluttershy seemed slightly offended. “A para- what?” Twilight tilted her head. “How could you not like-” “Ughh, now I’ve gotta find a trombone!” Pinkie said randomly. “A what?!” Twilight said more confused. “A trombone. You know, brrrrrrrrr!” Pinkie made the motions and the sound of a trombone then hopped out of the store. You all stand in silence, and you’re the first to break it. “What the?...” You scratch your head and cock your head a bit to the left. “Oh, typical Pinkie,” Twilight shook her head. “Ok then, Anon, do you want the other one?” Fluttershy’s voice caught your attention, and you turn towards her, eyes still on the door, then quickly focus on Fluttershy after processing what had just happened. “Uhh, no thanks. You can keep it if you want.” You answer and then look back down at the checklist, and find a box with, “Food/Sweets” written beside it. You look around the room at all the cakes and such, and they all had a bite taken out of them. Not knowing what to put down, you scribble out the box and write Pinkie Pie next to it. You smile to yourself, assuming there was no better way to write it. “Ok Anon, lets head over to see how Rarity is doing with the outfits and decorations.” Twilight waved goodbye to the ponies in the room then trotted out the door with the little creature hovering after her. You wave goodbye to the ponies also then walk out the door after Twilight. When you make it beside her, you suddenly hear some kind of burping sound come from Twilight’s mane, then some more purring. Twilight suddenly turns to meet your gaze with a frown grown on her face. “Anon, excuse yourself! Have some manners!” She flipped at you, and you return her anger. “That wasn’t me!” You chuckle slightly, still holding your face. She groaned and continued trotting, but at a faster rate in your vision to make you angrier, though you simply just levitate beside her. She looks at you and rolls her eyes, and slows back down to her old speed, and you smile in victory. As you get closer to Rarity’s boutique, You hover around Twilight in circles from slight boredom. Just when you were passing by in front of her again, you both hear the same burp again, and Twilight looks to you again, this time without her frown, as she didn’t see you belch in front of her. “See? It’s not me. It keeps coming from you.” You say pointing at her. She stops trotting. “I’m not burping!” She gets angry again. You sigh and roll your eyes, then continue your way over to the boutique. Twilight lets out a sigh of her own and follows you. “I’m sure it’s nothing…” She says as you both make it to the door. You walk in with a ring from a bell as you open and close the door. You first see Rarity struggling to do something on top of some table, which leads your eyes to see Dash set up in some fancy dress. “Stand still Rainbow dash!” You look back to Rarity, who was trying to set pins into the dress, but Rainbow kept moving her hooves around. She obviously wasn’t the best choice for an alive mannequin. “Ugh, I can’t! I need to fly!” Rainbow attempted to fly up but was stopped by Rarity’s hoof holding down the tip of her tail. “This is waayyyy too boring for me.” She complained, pulling her bottom eyelids down. “Do you want to look nice for Princess Celestia, or not?” Rarity nagged back a Dash, who then quickly gave in on the short argument and slammed her rump down on the ground in defeat. The two ponies turn their attentions toward you and Twilight, though after Rainbow notices you she blushes brightly, hiding behind her hooves, lying down on the table. You smile slightly and walk over to her. “Wow. Rarity, those outfits are gorgeous!” Twilight said astonished, looking around the room at all the ensembles. “Mmhmm. Thank you, Twilight. Nice to know someone appreciates my talents.” Rarity thanked, not having to look at Rainbow, though still getting her point across. “Ugh, sooo, boooring.” Rainbow moaned, and you pat her on the back a few times. “Hey, don’t worry about it. I’ve been through worse…” You look over at Rarity and Twilight, and they both blush, reviewing back to the sleepover, though it is interrupted by a chirp sound that came from Twilight’s mane. “Huh?” Rarity trotted over. “What’s that sound Twilight?” Rainbow hovered over above Twilight. You roll your eyes and walk over to join the crowd, even though you already knew what was about to be presented. You stand beside the lingering Rainbow dash, who was now at your height from her being aloft, and you both give each other a warm smile. You raise an eyebrow in confusion as three critters hopped out of Twilight's mane and lined up on her back, glady and cutely showing themselves off to the crowd. “Wow, what are they?” Rainbow wondered, smiling. “The better question is where did they come from? I only had one a minute ago.” Twilight confessed, and Rainbow scooped one of them into her hooves, ignoring Twilight’s statement. “Uh, I’ll take one!” Dash complied happily as she rubbed it up against her face. “Me too, oh, they’re perfect!” Rarity told, smiling. You see Rainbow get all mushy and lovey with the little thing, and you blow air through your nose. She notices then looks over at you raising an eyebrow. Shit. “Aww, Anon, are you jealous? Don’t worry, I’m all yours when we get home~.” She trotted up and brushed up against you. You face palm at what you have done. “Ugh! Thanks alot!” You look to the door and see a split-second of a pink pony racing out the door. Some day, you have to ask her what the hell is wrong with her brain. You look back over at the other ponies, and see that they hadn’t noticed Pinkie appear. “Hey Anon, maybe later you can come over for some more experimenting. I have a different idea in mind that we could try.” You turn to Twilight, then over at Rainbow, who was with Rarity struggling to get out of her suit. You look back to Twilight, sigh, then nod. She notices and lifts your head up with a hoof. “Hey, we’re not doing that stuff, we’re going to try something different. Ok?” You look her in the eyes, then nod. She smiles. “Good! I’ll see you later.” She waved goodbye, but you were the only person to notice, and wave back as she exited the door. You look back at Rainbow who had just flown out of her dress and stretched her wings. “Ahh, finally! I can’t wear that thing.” Rainbow crossed her hooves and look at Rarity with a disapproving look. Rarity sighed and looked down. “I suppose you don’t have to wear it, but I must find somepony who will.” She looked around the room and suddenly stopped on you. “Hey, don’t look at me, I can’t fit in that thing.” You point at it, chuckling. She sighs and looks at the dress. “I suppose I can save it for another occasion. You two can go now- Oh, wait Anonymous! I finished your clothing!” Rarity ran out of the room, and came back in with some clothes in her magical grasp. She hands them to you and you smile with a nod. “Thanks Rarity. I’ll see you later.” You and Rainbow both wave goodbye, then head for Rainbow’s house. You make it through the door and collapse on the couch after taking off your shoes. Rainbow shakes her coat then climbs on top of you, curling up into a small ball then letting out a cute sigh. You let out a sigh of your own and hug her close, and she responds in wrapping her forehooves around your neck and smiling. “You know, Twilight asked me to come over later today for some more experimenting, though for some reason, I feel she didn’t mean it in that way.” You explain to her, and she looks up at you with a yawn. "You sure? I mean, this is Twilight we’re talking about.” She reminded, lying on her back then looking up at you, causing you to have to bring up your hand and scratch behind her ears. She sank into you with a shaky sigh, causing you to smile. “Well, I guess we don’t know until we try right?” You shrug your shoulders and lay your head on the armrest of the couch. You feel her shrug too as she spread her wings then got comfortable as she smacked her lips a few times. “Tired?” You run your fingers through her mane. “Eh, kinda. Just, you know, that’s me. Always taking naps and being lazy…” She slightly blushed. You put an arm on her chest and another lightly grabbing her hoof. “That’s why we’re perfect for eachother. We’re practically the same.” You chuckle as you wink at her, and she giggles back and hugs you tighter, blush still slightly showing. “So, do you want to come with me? Or do you want to wait for me here?” You ask quietly, halfway through a sigh. She looks up at you with tired eyes. “Sure, just let me get up.” She mumbled, still not moving. You smile and chuckle and you pick her up in your arms. “It’s fine, I got you.” She smiled and folded her wings then held on tightly, letting out a sigh so cute a puppy would d’awww. You fly out the door and towards Twilights house at a slow enough pace to not disturb Dash. You make it there and still stumble on your landing. Damn, I gotta work on my landing. You say in your head, then knock on the door. “Hey Dash, where is that weird little creature thing?” She mumbled something and looked up at you. “Oh, I think I left it at home.” “Is that safe?” “It’s tiny, what do you think it’s going to do?” You both chuckle, then stop as the door opens, revealing the purple unicorn. “Oh, Anon, Rainbow. Please come in!” She opened the door wider and you walk inside, and you look at the room. Wow, Spike actually did a pretty good job. The room was actually shining. Like, literally, it was shining from all the cleaning. You close your jaw and complement Twilight. “Oh you can thank Spike. He’s in bed right now, he was pretty tired when I got home.” Twilight walked up the stairs and into the bedroom. Here it goes… You follow her up the stairs, but before you made it to her bedroom, she suddenly walked back out of it with a clipboard and a quilt. She passed by you and walked outside, then stopped in the doorway. “Well, come on!” She waved. You shrug your shoulders and follow her. Rainbow was suddenly curious and flew out of your arms to follow Twilight, and as do you. You all stop at the field where you and Rainbow usually fly together and hang out, and Twilight waved you over to her. You stand beside her and look at the list. Ok, this definitely wasn’t anything to do with sex. It said stuff like, Levitation, Flight, stuff like that. “What’s this?” You ask looking up at her. “So last night I was up reading, and the thought of your powers crossed my mind. So I thought, because you lost your memories and that they should be a big part of your life, if we learned enough of it back, it might cause a surge through your brain, and you’ll remember everything!” She jumped up and down in excitement. You give her a confused look. “Are you sure? I don’t think that’s going to work…” “Well, we have to start from somewhere! Ok, first. we need to work more on Levitation. Alright…” Twilight said as she looked around, and found a large rock nearby the mountain you almost died from. You all head over there and she points to it. “Ok, first we’ll start with size. Try to lift that rock over there.” You look back at her with your jaw open. “Twilight. I’ve only tried to lift a book and open a door. And you expect me to jump right to lifting a rock half the size of a house?” You look at her and point at the rock. She shrugs her shoulders. “I’m sure you can do it.” She smiled to you. You let out a sigh, then glare over at the rock. You look over at Dash, and she raises an eyebrow at you. You stifle a quick chuckle, then look back over at the rock, then close your eyes, sigh, and focus. You slightly open your eyes, and see the rock begin to shake slightly, slowly rip out of the grass’ grasp, then begin to levitate in the air a few feet off the ground. You smile and laugh with a bit of disbelief. “Holy shit! I actually did it!” You smile more, showing some teeth. You slowly lower the boulder back into place and let go of it, and immediately feel like you had gotten lighter. You let out an exhale to rest, and look back over to Twilight and Dash, and they both welcomed you back with bright smiles of their own. “Good job! It feels good, doesn’t it?” Twilight trotted towards you, and you nod to her, face relaxing and letting go of the smile, and she did the same. “Ok, so how this is going to work, is we will try something for a day, then do the same thing the next but a little more challenging. So tomorrow we will go back to Levitation, but next, we will work on Flight.” Twilight stated and she showed you the clipboard. You shrug your shoulders and smile over at Dash, for who you knew would be smiling back at you. You turn back to Twilight. “Ok, so how? I can already fly.” You remind and look again at the clipboard. “I know, but we’re just practicing. First, we should work on balance; just holding in one spot.” She said and stood there, waiting for you to make your move. You shrug your shoulders again, and close your eyes and concentrate again. You feel the ground leave your feet, and stop where you are. You open your eyes, and can’t seem to stay put. You try a bit harder, and you stay in one spot, but you’re still a bit shaky. You take in a deep breath and hold it, and focus everything on this one simple task and close your eyes. You suddenly feel your shaking stop, you open your eyes back up, and see yourself hovering a few feet off the ground, perfectly still. You lose concentration and fall to the ground on your feet with a soft thud. You look up at the two ponies and you all smile at each other. After a while more of practicing, it becomes dark and Twilight heads home, though sends you home scared and slightly curious when she said she had a surprise for you tomorrow. You drop it from your mind for the rest of the day, as you’re almost too exhausted to fly or even think. You get back to Rainbow’s and immediately crash onto the couch with a sigh and close your eyes. You hear Dash giggle and can tell that she’s smiling. She nuzzles you in your side and move a little bit from being a bit ticklish in that spot. She moved her nuzzle up to your face and under your chin. “Come on Anon, lets head to bed. If you don’t get up I’m sleeping down here with you.” You smile and open an eye slightly and your heart sank at her adorable face. You let out a sigh and end it with a long groan, then open your eyes to meet hers. “Alright, you win.” You smile at her then quickly pull her into a tight hug, then pick her up in your arms and get up. She smiled and nuzzles you a bit more as she joins in on the hug, wrapping her every limb around you. You rest your head on top of hers as you slowly climb up the stairs to her bedroom. Thankfully the door to her room was already open, because your hands were full of Rainbow dash and if you tried to use anymore energy into your powers you’d probably pass out on the floor. You lie her carefully on the bed, then lazily begin to take off your clothes. You go to take your socks off, but lose balance and fall backwards onto the bed. Rainbow was stretching at the moment and you fall, lightly trying to catch yourself, onto her belly. She looks down at you and you look then smile back up at her. She grins and pulls you higher up with a tight cuddle on the bed. You feel her soft coat and mane brush up against your face, and you open your eyes and look into hers. “You’re so cute.” You begin scratching behind her ear. She blushes and leans into your hand, stops, then pushes your hand away with her hoof. “Don’t call me that..” She grins and blushes more, trying to hide it. You take off your socks then pull her back into the cuddle, and she joins in curling up in a ball in your arms. you feel her tail brush up against your leg, and it tickles slightly, making you move closer into Dash. You hear her let out a sigh of comfort as she pulls you closer, nuzzling your upper chest. You smile and sigh after her then scratch her back with a steady and light motion. She hums and you feel her relax, and you both fall asleep together. Author's Note Sorry that this chapter wasn't as long as usual, but I've been pretty busy lately and I wanted to get out something soon. So here ya go! //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 9 Power Chapter 9 You wake up with a long and loud yawn, then open your eyes to see your brightly colored rainbow tail in your cyan hooves. You smile when you see Anon’s arms wrapped around you in a cuddle and you look up at him. He is so cute when he’s sleeping, and you can’t help yourself but give him a warm nuzzle under his chin. You see his face lighten up as he holds you a bit closer, and you let out a sigh and become more relaxed. You feel so safe in his arms, and you’re happy to wake up to him every morning. Feeling a bit hungry, you slowly move away from the bed and go downstairs, leaving Anon to his slumber. You walk into the kitchen, eyes slowly adjusting to the light, and open up the fridge to grab some bread. You put some bread into the toaster and pull down on the lever. You just end up making some toast, thinking that it’ll hold you over until Anon wakes up so you could maybe have a nice, full breakfast with him. You’re pulled from your imagination as you hear the toaster pop and a couple slices of bread poke out. You grab a small plate and place a slice on it, and the other in your mouth as you walk out into the living room. Lying down on the couch, you finish your small meal then let out a bored sigh. You decide to head outside to stretch your wings. You quickly put your plate back in the kitchen then fly out the door and smile automatically when the sun reaches your face. You just end up flying around for a bit then lying down on a cloud to take a short rest. You close your eyes and end up falling asleep again for a nap. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You wake up slightly curling up with a grunt as you feel a slightly pain come from your stomach. You open your eyes when you feel around the bed and notice Rainbow wasn’t there. You sigh as another rumble comes from your gut. “Yeah, I know shut up.” You mumble to yourself as you sit up. You begin putting on your clothes. You were actually really hungry. When was the last time you actually had a decent meal? You finish thinking to yourself as you end putting on your clothes and head downstairs. You let out a sigh through your nose in defeat as you can’t find her anywhere in the house. You chuckle a bit to yourself. I guess this is how Dash felt when you left her in Canterlot. It does kinda suck. Your insides demand attention again as they form more pain, making you curl slightly. You head to the kitchen and the bare smell of toast hits your nose. You guess Rainbow was in here earlier, but where did she go? You guess that it wouldn’t hurt to have some toast of your own. You place a few pieces of bread into the toaster and eat it after it’s done, and it helps enough for the time being. You walk out into the living room and see that the door was slightly left open, and you summarize that she had just gone for a flight. You open the door and fly then close it behind you, your head throbbing slightly as you pick up off the ground and your brain yells: “Hey, uncalled for!” to you. You fly around the house then see the alluring cyan pegasus, lying down on a cloud a few meters away from the house. You begin to fly over to her, then stop as she perks up at something besides you. You gasp as you realize what it was. “Huh?!” You hear her yelp slightly as a bunch of those things popped out from the cloud she was in. You had completely forgotten about those! And why was there so many? You’re about to call her name, but stop when you see the creatures sticking to her. She kicks them away with a hoof, though they just fly to her again. “AHHH!!” Rainbow flies up, waving them away continuingly. She flies away from them, still trying to rush them away from her. She holds up her hooves and they cling under her front two hooves. She waves them away again. “Ugh, get off me!” The animals don’t give up, and they fly to her head like a hat. You want to help her, but you’re not sure how. You smile and chuckle quietly in amusement as they fly to her chest and waist, acting like a bathing suit. They move away then up to her chin like a beard, and don’t let go. Rainbow shrieks then zooms away. “Rainbow!” You yell as you chase after her. She doesn’t turn around, but continues to fly fast and struggle to get the things off of her. “Anon! Help me!” She squeals as she wiggles around but they continue to glue to her. We fly over the town and Rainbow flies towards Fluttershy’s cottage. She stops in front of Twilight and Rarity, who had stretched saddlebags on their backs with, what you were assuming, the weird little animals things. “Ditto!” Rainbow finally got the critters off of her and flew towards you, and you land beside Twi and Rarity. “Fluttershy knows everything about animals, I'm sure she can tell us how to stop them from multiplying!” Twilight told as she ran towards Fluttershy’s door, and you all follow after her. Twilight merely touches the doorknob and hundreds, maybe thousands of the things fly out from Fluttershy’s door. Twilight swallows nervously. “Or not..” You stand in the doorway, looking into Fluttershy’s house, which was filled with so many of the animals you could barely see Flutters or the interior. “Oh, do something Fluttershy! Can’t you control them?!” Twilight yelled to Flutters, who was trying to avoid the critters. “I've tried everything I know!: I've tried begging, and pleading, and beseeching, and asking politely and…” Fluttershy was cut short by running from a creature with a pan in it’s grasp, chasing her. You turn to Rainbow who was grunting from all the confusement, and you can’t blame her. You all run outside from Fluttershy’s house, which now seemed like a nest for the things. “If we can't get them under control before the princess arrives, it'll be a total disaster!” Twilight realized, panicking slightly. You turn to a sound which sounded like choking of some sort, and you see one of the creatures spit out a dark brown ball, which suddenly turned into another one. Your face turns foul and your eyes grow wide. “Ew! If you ask me it's already a total disaster!” Rarity whined as she covered her face from the two things. You turn your attention away from Fluttershy’s house and to the dirt road as you hear a different but familiar voice come from that direction, and the sound of a wagon being pulled. “Here's all those apples you wanted, Fluttershy. But I still can't figure why y'need so many- HEY!” Applejack yelled as a mob of the critters devoured the whole wagon of apples. “What do we do?” Fluttershy panics, turning to Twilight, whose expression suddenly lightened up with an idea. “*Gasp* I got it! No pony can herd like Applejack.” She pointed to Aj, who had started listening in on your conversation. “Yeah, we can drive them back into the forest!” Rainbow cheered, and everypony agreed then gathered around, and so do you. “I’ll rastle ‘em up, but ah’ll need everypony’s help tuh do it.” Applejack agreed, and everypony including you hustled over to Aj to get quire their tasks. “Twilight, you ‘n Rarity wait over there. I'll herd the little critters straight at ya like a funnel.” The two ponies nod then head to their positions. “Rainbow Dash, you, Fluttershy, and Anon stay on top of 'em, don't let 'em fly away.” She grabbed your attention and you nod then head nearby the two pegasus’. “Aye aye!” Rainbow saluted then took to the air, along with you and Flutters. “Yeeeeeee-haw!” You hear Aj cry below as she ran off and began herding the animals. You, Rainbow, and Fluttershy all fly high in a line, waiting for your part to take place. Applejack rushes towards you with the small cloud and they begin to fly up, and all three of you begin to push them back down. You make a small thick form of them and you take hold of them with levitation. You push them down to the giant ball of tiny randomly colored balls and the rest of the ponies add to it too. “Alright y'all, here goes nothin'!” Applejack called as she began pushing the large ball down the road. “Look out Rarity, that one's fixin' to get away!” Rarity turned to Aj’s voice and did what she was told. “Keep a lead on 'em, Rainbow Dash!” Rainbow flew back to one of them and pushed it back into the ball. Aj looked ahead towards the entrance to the Everfree Forest. “Hold on girls, we're almost there!” You nod to her, then look forward when you hear Twilight say that name… “Pinkie!” “Twilight, we don’t have much time!” Pinkie tells Twilight obviously. “You’re telling me! The princess could arrive at any moment!” “Exactly. That's why I need you gals to drop what you're doing and help me find some maracas!” Pinkie twisted her head upside down and looked up at Twilight. You turn to Rainbow and she turns to you and you both have the same look of laughter and confusion. “Maracas? Pinkie, we've got much bigger problems than missing maracas.” “*Gasp* You're right! Getting a tuba has to be our number one goal. Follow me!” Pinkie zoomed away. You let out a sigh one she was gone, but she suddenly appeared a few seconds later, running backwards with her legs a blur. “I said, follow me!” She repeated, looking at Twilight. You look at Rainbow again and she sighed then flew over to the two ponies. “Pinkie pie, you, are so, random.” She stated, rolling her eyes. “And you are all so stubborn!” Pinkie grunted then disappeared again. “Forget her ladies. Focus. Head 'em up and move 'em out!” Applejack ordered and you go back to focusing on the job. You don’t even bother to care anymore that they call you a girl. As you finally make it to the entrance, you all stop as it rolls into the forest and away from the town. You sigh then fall to the ground and rest on a knee. “All right!” Rainbow grunted as she, uh, low hoofed Fluttershy, and she looked down at her hooves. “Ouch.” “We did it! Nice work Applejack.” Twilight smiled as you all gather around her. “Couldn’t a’done it without y’all.” Applejack looked at all of you. You look into the forest where the giant ball had disappeared into, though follow the rest of the ponies as back to Fluttershy’s. “Now let's get back and clean up the mess they made before the princess arrives.” Twilight controlled as you all follow behind her. You walk for a bit then yawn. “Well, good morning everypony.” You sigh with relief normally, then think back to what you just said with a face of confusion. The rest of the ponies don’t realize that you had just said that and reply ‘good morning’ back, though Twilight did hear you say it. She continued to walk without saying anything though, and you shake your head from what you said. “Yes, I guess that is an odd way to wake up.” Rarity spoke up, and you all nod in agreement. You all make it back to Fluttershy's house. “Okay, everyone knows what to do, right? We gotta work extra hard to make up for lost time.” Twilight reminded, and Fluttershy flew ahead to open the door, and you follow close behind. The second she opened the door, a giant horde of the creatures flew out, and before you could jump out of the way, they flew right at you, carrying you back behind every- You know what? Just go with it. Carrying you back behind everypony. “Where did they come from?!” Twilight looked at them all. You rub the back of your head and look up at Fluttershy. “Well, I may have kept just one, heh.” She backed down slightly as one stood on her back. You stare at her, wide eyed in anger. So did the rest of the ponies, as a few of them took Applejack’s hat off and she didn’t even move. “I couldn’t help myself. They’re just so, cute.” Fluttershy nuzzled the one on her back and it flew away. You groan in anger and grab your hair. “We don't have time to keep rounding up these things. What do we do now?” Twilight asked the question, that you know you didn’t have the answer for. Suddenly, Rainbow landed beside you with some goggles on her forehead. “We call in the weather patrol! Come on Anon!” Rainbow gave you her hoof then you both take to the sky. You both look down, and you look at Rainbow. “Just follow my lead.” She told and you nod to her. “Time to take out, the adorable trash.” Rainbow smiled and put her goggles on, then let out a battle cry and she pounded her chest. She zoomed down towards the critters and you follow close behind. You stay on her tail, almost literally, as she began to form circles around them. You each go on opposite sides as the turning becomes tighter and the form of a small tornado comes into view from your actions. Rainbow does most of the controlling, while you just continue to keep it spinning. She begins to suck them up like a vacuum and they all go into the middle. You smile as this works surprisingly well. “Way to go, you two!” You her Twilight cheer from outside the twister. “Looks like our problems are solved.” Applejack tells. Your eyes go wide as you hear that voice again. “They will be with these cymbals!” Pinkie trotted in with some cymbals around her neck, which suddenly got sucked up into your building. “Hey! Gimme those back!” Pinkie yelled, and you suddenly see to, sharp, spinning cymbals come at your face. You quickly try to move down from them, and you lose your balance and speed then get thrown out of the tornado and slide down the dirt path towards Applejack and Twilight, who then take hold of your arms so you down get sucked back into the now falling apart cyclone. You hear Rainbow shrieking and dodging the cymbals that were now like buzzsaws being thrown around the wind. “I can’t hold it! She's breaking up!” Rainbow yells then gets shot out of the typhoon and at a tree. You scrunch your face slightly as to slightly feel her pain as she came in contact with the plant. You gasp when the tornado slowly falls apart and flies the now broken out creatures towards Ponyville. “Oh, crap…” You say as you get up the brush yourself off. You Look for Dash, who was dazed, lying by the tree that she had hit, then go over to her. “You ok Dash?” You kneel beside her as she shook her head to gain thought again at the sound of your voice. “Oh, uh, yeah. Thanks.” She brushed herself off then got up using your hand. “That was a good idea though, and it would’ve worked if Pinkie didn’t show up and try to kill us.” You sigh then look over at the four ponies getting mad at the pink pony. “Is she always like that?” Rainbow shrugs. “Sometimes. Sometimes depends on the moment. And the other crazy thing is, sometimes these things that she does, makes her save the day.” You shrug after her sentence then both walk over to the rest of the pack. “Come on girls, there's no reasoning with that one. She's a few apples short of a bushel.” Applejack sighed as she ran towards town, and the rest of you follow. “Hey! I'm trying to tell you all that the ruining is on the other hoof. If you just slow down and listen to me!” Pinkie yelled, though nopony turns around to do so. You all make it back to town, and just as you expected, there’s ponies running and panicking from all the little animals eating everything in sight. “What do we do? They're eating all the food in town.” Fluttershy said, worried. Suddenly Applejack gasped. “*Gasp* Mah apples!” She said as she ran towards what you were assuming was her orchard. “We’ve gotta do something!” Twilight thought, then suddenly got an idea as one of the little things hovered in front of her. “*Gasp* I’ve got it! I’ll cast a spell to make them stop eating all the food!” You all look to her as her horn began to glow brightly and send sound waves towards all of the creatures. After the spell was finished, all of you just stand there, watching them. Waiting for them to try to eat something. “Look, tambourines! If you could all just…” You hear Pinkie say then grunt in anger as the tambourines shook, then she ran off again. Suddenly, a small orange one flew down to a bushel with an apple in it and sniffed it. Twilight gasped and bit her lip, waiting, then let out a sigh of relief when it backed away from it. Your eyes grow enormously as the little thing suddenly engulfed the whole crate, then happily spat out the apple. “Oh, you’ve got to be kidding me.” You freeze. Every critter around you began eating everything that wasn’t food, and you frown at Twilight. “Huh, hey. It worked. They’re not eating the food anymore.” Rainbow deadpanned, and Twilight shrank sheepishly. Suddenly, one of the things flew up to you, then took a big bite out of your shirt. “Oh hell no.” You quickly back away then use a small sound wave to push it away from you. Suddenly Rarity gasped when she saw what happened. “Oh no... if they get inside my store... Everypony for herself!” Rarity ran towards her store. You look around and begin to slightly panic yourself. And now it was your turn to ask the question. “What do we do?!” You grunt in anger as you sound wave away some more animals. Twilight gasped. “The library!” Twilight ran off to her house, and you and Rainbow end up following her. She opens the door and sees hundreds upon hundreds of the little things, destroying books. You suddenly turn your attention to Spike, who was hiding under a basket. “Help!” Spike had a book tossed down on him, and he lifted the basket back up. You all look around. “They’re eating the words!” Twilight gulped. Suddenly, she ran over to a red one, jumped and grabbed it’s wing with her teeth then ran out the door. “Help.” Spike said again, though you and Rainbow just fly after Twilight. She ran into the Everfree Forest, and she stopped at Zecora’s house. She kicked the door open quickly and loudly. Suddenly, Zecora fell to the ground after meditating, then looked back up at Twilight. “Have you gone mad?” She rubbed her head. Twilight spat out the animal, and spotted Zecora with a worried look. “Zecora, these little guys are devouring Ponyville, and the princess is on her way. Can you help us, please?” Twilight hoped and pleaded, and all three of you wait for a reply. Zecora’s ears suddenly flattened. “Oh, monster of so little size. Is that a Parasprite before my eyes?” Zecora rhymed, and you recognised that name, back at Sugarcube Corner, that what Pinkie called them. “I don’t know, is it?!” Twilight continued to panic, and Zecora walked closer to her. “Tales of crops and harvests consumed. If these creatures are in Ponyville, you're doomed.” Zecora told as the Parasprite multiplied again. Twilight swallowed hard, then ran back out the door, with you, Rainbow, and the Parasprites following. You all make it out of the forest, and Twilight swatted at the creatures with her tail. She stopped when she looked up. “Oh no, here she comes!” Twilight looked up and so do you. A carriage being pulled by four guards with Princess Celestia descends from Canterlot and towards Ponyville. You and Rainbow follow Twilight to Ponyville, and it looks worse than it did before. Ponies running around in fear, and the town being eaten alive itself. You turn to Twilight. Oh no, you recognise that Twilight, and it’s not normal Twilight. “Ok. Here’s the plan. Rainbow dash, you distract them.” Twilight ordered, a few strands of hair popping out of place. You hear Rainbow scream as she flew past you, being chased by a bunch of Parasprites. “Good! Everyone else, we need to build an exact copy of Ponyville right over there. We’ve got less than a minute!” Twilight tried, then gave in from the sight of all the havoc going on around her. “Zecora was right. We’re doomed.” Twilight looked down, and both of you turn towards what sounded like music. “Oh no, the princess's procession is here. It's all over!” Twilight gasped as you look over the horizon at what suddenly came into sight. Twilight rubbed her eyes and so did you. “Pinkie? We're in the middle of a crisis here. This is no time for your... nonsense?” Twilight stopped, confused as the two of you see all the Parasprites stop causing destruction and begin following Pinkie down the dirt path, and away from Ponyville. You and Twilight go over to the rest of the ponies and watch Pinkie in shock. Twilight turns to the other ponies and shrugs, and they do the same. You begin to slowly follow Pinkie down the road, and the rest of the pack follows, none of you saying a word. You all stop as Princess Celestia came into landing on the road nearby you. “Look.” Twilight pointed to the Princess. You all run past Pinkie towards the Princess then bow at her presence. “Twilight Sparkle, my prized pupil.” She told, looking at all of us with the sound of Pinkie in the distance. “Hello Princess!” Twilight stood up at greet her, and so do the rest of you. “So lovely to see you again, as well as your friends.” She is slightly interrupted as there is a sudden crash from behind you, and Pinkie walks past all of you. Twilight walks forward as Princess Celestia watches Pinkie and her trail of Parasprites. “So... how was the trip? Hit much traffic?” Twilight tried, and the Princess finally turned her attention back to Twilight. “Ah, what is this? Oh, these creatures are adorable.” Princess Celestia smiled as one of the Parasprites landed on her wing, then flew away. “They’re not that adorable…” Rainbow mumbled, and Rarity smiled to her, then leaned close. “Don’t worry, you have Anon.” Rarity winked at Rainbow, who then giggled quietly and they both looked at you. Although you hadn’t heard what they said, you can sort of guess what they did say. “I'm terribly honored that you and the good citizens of Ponyville have organized a parade in honor of my visit.” The Princess smiled to Twilight, who then gave her back a sheepish smile. “Parade? Oh. Yes, the parade!” Twilight lied horribly, though the Princess didn’t seem to notice. “Unfortunately, that visit is going to have to wait for another time. I'm afraid an emergency has come up in Fillydelphia. Apparently there's been some sort of, infestation.” The Princess said worriedly, though for some reason you feel as if she was making it so it sounded like what was happening right now. “An… Infestation?” Twilight hesitated. “Yes, a swarm of incredibly bothersome creatures has invaded the poor town. I'm sorry Twilight, to have to put you all through so much trouble.” The Princess smiled slightly. “Trouble? What trouble?” Twilight swallowed. “Before I have to go, would you care to give me your latest report on the magic of friendship in person?” The Princess stopped before climbing into the carriage to ask. “My… Report?” “Haven’t you learned anything about friendship?” You turn to Twilight, who thought for a second then smiled. “Actually, I have. I've learned that sometimes the solution to your problems can come from where you least expect it. It's a good idea to stop and listen to your friends' opinions and perspectives…” *CRASH* “Even when they don’t always seem to make sense.” Twilight smiled as she looked at Pinkie. “I'm so proud of you, Twilight Sparkle, and I'm very impressed with your friends as well. It sounds like you're all learning so much from each other.” Princess Celestia began to pull away, but then quickly winked at you before she disappeared. You think about it for a while, but then stop when you hear Pinkie’s voice. “Hey, what happened to the Princess?” “Emergency in Fillydelphia.” Twilight smiled, then Rainbow smiled wider. “Some sort of, infestation.” Pinkie gasped. “Oh no, Have they got Parasprites too? Well, have tuba, will travel!” Pinkie blew into the tuba and it made a long, low noise. “I think the Princess can handle it.” Twilight smiled to her. You turn to Applejack. “So you knew what those critters were all along, huh Pinkie pie?” “Well, DUH! Why do you think I was so frantic to get my hooves on all these instruments? I tried to tell you.” Pinkie looked down, and you all walk over to her. “We know, Pinkie Pie, and we're sorry we didn't listen.” Twilight sighed. the rest of you follow her lead in apologizing. You walk over to her and pat her on the back. “You did good Pinkie.” You smile to her and she smiles back. “You're a great friend, even if we don't always understand you.” Twilight smiled to her too. “Thanks guys, you're all great friends too, even when I don't understand me." “You saved my reputation with Princess Celestia, and more importantly, you saved Ponyville.” Twilight smiled as you all walk back to Ponyville, then stop. “Or not.” Suddenly, Pinkie picks up a trombone and plays. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMpXAknykeg). Everypony laughs, and you face palm yourself. After that was done, everypony decided that they weren’t busy today, even both Rarity and Applejack weren’t. And because it was a hot day, everypony decided that you were all going to have a picnic by a small lake nearby Applejack’s farm, and that everypony was going to clean up the town tomorrow. Though obviously before that, Twilight wanted to experiment first. Which reminded you that she had a surprise for you. So just you and Twi go back to her library and she grabs her clipboard. Though instead of going to the field you went to before, you end up going all the way over to Applejack’s and to the lake that you are going to for the picnic later. “What are we doing here?” You ask as you make it to the destination. “Ok, so at first, the surprise was going to be practicing to see if you have Electric Powers-” She paused to continue, and that when you made your move. “Oh good, thanks that why you brought me to a lake; it doesn't flatter me.” You throw up your arms, and Twilight sighs with a bit of blush. “You didn’t let me finish. We WERE going to do that, but I’ve decided it’s best not to learn those powers now then go to the lake with some friends. In case you don’t have a random surge and fry everypony in the water including you. We, are going to learn Fire Powers!” She jumped up in excitement. You smile with her too. It would actually be really cool to learn that, so you wait for Twilight to finish so you could get started. When she saw you waiting for her to finish, she blushed then cleared her throat and looked at the page. “Ok, so first. Just see if you can make a small flame in your hands. Just try what you can.” She put the page down and watched you. You look at yourself, then to the pond, then to her and grin. “Oh, I get it now. Thanks.” You say with slight sarcasm, and she blushes slightly. You hold out one of your hands and focus all your power into it. You suddenly see your arm start to glow a dim red and your veins did the same. You focus a bit harder for a while more, though nothing happened. You smile and chuckle a bit as you get a silly idea, but it was worth a try. You snap your fingers, and with a spark, and a flash, you were holding a small flame in your hand, as if it had the same effect with flint and steel. You panic for a second, then stop and you don’t feel any pain in your hand, but only feel the heat. You smile and look up at Twilight, who had amazement spread across her face. She walked over slowly with her jaw open in astoundment. “This is so amazing! Just think of what else you could do!” She smiled and looked up at you and you look back down at her and smile. You look back at your hand and close it, and the fire disappears. You try something different. Instead of snapping your fingers, you open your hand and flick your wrist at the same time, and the fire turns back on with a bit more of a flare to it. Your smile grows wider and you do the same with your other hand. You hear Twilight gasp in excitement as she ran over to her clipboard and wrote down some things. You slowly bring both of your hands together and the fire immediately grows and you hold your hands away from your face. You close your hands and sigh, then bring them back down to your sides as Twilight walks back over to you. “Okay, next thing. Fire Breathing.” She looked up at you, grinning, and it turned more sheepishly when she saw your “Unamused” face. “Right, okay. How about Flame/Fireball Throwing?” She smiled and looked up at you, and you grin back at her, then take a few steps back. You look at the lake and form the fire in your hands again. You concentrate harder, and the fire becomes larger. You put your hands together again, and the fire becomes bigger and hotter. You powerfully punch your arms out in front of you, aiming for the lake. The punch from the throw is so powerful, that it launches you a few yards backwards, while the giant fireball hits the lake with a loud sssss and steam is formed from it. You hear Twilight gasp and yell your name as she ran towards you. You open your eyes and look at her. “Anon, are you okay?!” She worried. You just smile wide and jump up. “Are you kidding? I’M AWESOME! I just threw fire after forming it with my own bare hands!” You quickly hug her and lift her up. “Man, I could do this all day.” You put her back down and put your hands on your hips and look at the lake. She smiled back to you and giggled. “Oh good! There’s much more to learn and do. We’re not done yet.” She walked back over to the lake, and looked at it. “Well, I don’t think this will be to cool off in anymore.” She sighed, and you look at the lake. “Here, let me try something…” You say as you crouch by the water and put a hand in it, then immediately pull it back out from how hot it was. You frown, and hold out your hand then focus all your power into it. Instead of your arm turning red, it turned a light blue and so did your veins. You ever so slowly, inch your hand closer to the water then dip it in. The same sssss sound came from it, then stopped after a few more seconds. You pull your hand out, then dip your other hand in. It felt like normal lake water. You smile in victory and call Twilight over. “Twilight, come here.” She trotted over and put a hoof in, and her eyes went wide and so did her smile. “Wow. Anon, I can’t believe this!” She launched at you for a hug and you smile and hug her back, letting out an exhausted sigh. “Me neither. But I think I should take a break. For a bit anyways.” You slowly pull away from the hug, then stand up. She does the same. “Yeah. The girls should be here any minute anyways.” She smiled then lied down in the grass, and you do the same beside her. You turn to her and smile. “Hey, Twilight. I wanted to thank you for helping me with this. With my memories and stuff.” She turned to you and gave you a warm smile back. “Of course Anon. We’ll help you get through this, don’t worry.” You sigh and turn back to the sky. You suddenly hear your favourite voice come from the distance, and you sit then stand up to greet her. “Hey Anon! Hey Twilight!” Rainbow came from the distance and closed it with a hug which threw you off your feet. You squeeze her tight with the hug. “Hey Dash.” You pull away and beam as your eyes meet. You look into the distance and see four other ponies walk your way. You stand up and so does Rainbow and the three of you greet the rest of the ponies half way. “Hi girls.” You smile to the rest of them, and they do so back. You see Fluttershy flying and carrying some things for the picnic, and you happily take them. “You seem to be in a good mood. What’s going on?” Rarity raised her eyebrows at you, and your shrug your shoulders. “Just happy is all.” You smile then set down the stuff by the pool. Twilight hopped up and down a few times. “He learned how to make fire with his own hands!” She smiled, and the other ponies smiled and gasped slightly. “I can show you girls later if you’d like, but I think we should set up.” You state as you begin to unpack the things. The girls nod and help you set up. You lay out the blanket after unloading most of the items then go to sit down, when Rarity suddenly passed you something. “When I heard that we would be going to the lake and you’d be coming too, I thought I’d make you some shorts.” She smiled brightly as you hold up a pair of blue and white shorts. You smile to Rarity. “Wow, thanks Rarity!” She blushes slightly then tilts her head up in confidence. “I’ll go try them on.” She nods to you. “Of course, darling.” You nod back to her then go into the forest and behind some trees and bushes. A few minutes later you come back out, and they fit perfectly! She was getting really good at making clothes for you. “How do they fit?” You smile to her and scratch behind her ears to pay back the gift, then lie down on the blanket and put your pants and boxers on the grass. “It’s perfect Rarity, thank you.” You feel Rainbow lie down beside you and rest her head beside yours. You move closer to her and get comfortable. You hear the other ponies unpack some other things, and Rainbow moves closer and wraps her hooves around you in a cuddle, and you hold her closer and cuddle her back. You hear Applejack giggle from behind you, and suddenly her face comes into view upside down. “You two love birds gonna eat or not?” She blushed slightly then backed up a bit so you could get up. You smile and sit up then turn around to face the other ponies, and Rainbow does the same. Fluttershy passes you each a sandwich, and you thank her than gladly take a bite out of it. After you finish the sandwich, it’s boiling outside, so you begin to take off your clothes to go into the pool. Rainbow see’s you getting undressed for the water, and she jumps in before you, happily swimming around in peace. Finally you’re just in your shorts and you see a rope swing that was attached to a tree branch, and you walk over to it. After a few swings, you do a perfect backflip into the water with a splash. You come up from the water to breathe, and you see Rainbow’s eyes, ears and wet mane poking up from the water. She slowly sinks back into the water again and swims towards you. You chuckle and smile as she swims towards you, then quickly jumps out of the water and tackles you back into it. You smile as the two of you roll around underwater, and you look where you see bubbles after hearing a splash. You slowly open your eyes in the water to see who or what it was, and after focusing, you can suddenly see as clear as day. And with that, you recognise it to be Applejack. You come back above the water level and take a breather, then look over at Twilight. “Hey Twilight, I think I just did something…” She looks to you, then her face suddenly turns foul. “You didn’t just pee in the lake did you?” You laugh and facepalm yourself. “Oh my god Twilight. No, I think I just learned another power. I can see clearly underwater. As if I had goggles on.” She lets out a sigh of relief and walks over to the edge of the water. “Oh cool! I guess that’s a nice thing to have.” She smiled as she lied down on her hooves, watching the three of you. “You gonna come in?” You look at her, paddling backwards. “Um, not right now. I might later but I just don’t feel like-” She’s immediately cut off by you grabbing one of her hooves and pulling her into the water. She spits out some water and glares at you angrily. “Anon! What did I just say?!” You smile and laugh. “Oh come on, it’s just some water. It feels good though, right?” You smile at her as you see her attempt to hold back on of her own. “I guess so.” She sighs, then playfully splashes you. You turn away then look back at her with a challenging grin. “Oh, you wanna go?” You laugh then splash her back, and before you know it, it’s almost like the snowball fight; except everypony is against you. And it's with water. As the three of them close in on you, you quickly go underwater and swim under them, then splash them from behind. They turn around and you continue to splash them, and they back down. “Alright, alright you win!” Applejack laughed and you stop. You let out a sigh and rest your back against the wall of the lake and rest your arms on the ground behind you then look at the other three ponies who were on ground. “You girls gonna join us?” Pinkie is the first to perk up, who had her face full of cupcakes and other sweets, and she swallows it all at once. She quickly gets up then runs towards you. “Yippie!” She smiled as she bodyslammed on top of you, taking the two of you under water. After a few more seconds you return to the surface, gasping for air. You cough a few times, then look at the last two ponies. “Alright, how about you two?” Fluttershy and Rarity turned to you, lying down on the blanket. “Oh, um, not right now. Thanks.” Fluttershy mumbled quietly, though you could hear it clearly because it was really quiet. All you could hear was water splashing quietly and somepony talking at once. You nod then turn to Rarity, who was wearing a bright, yellow sun hat. She turned to you when she saw you turn to her. “Sorry darling. I wasn’t planning on getting wet. Maybe some other time.” She sighed then went back to staring at the sky. You shrug your shoulders and turn back around to face the 4 ponies that were in the water with you. “So, what should we do?” You ask, but before anypony could even open their mouth you said: “And NO, we’re not playing truth or dare if that’s what you were thinking…” You sigh and sit back, and the other ponies giggle at your small outburst. Suddenly, Applejack gasped. “Hey, we should sleep out here tonight! There’s no clouds ‘n the sky so it won’t rain, and we’ll get a clear view of the sky.” You look around for the other ponies’ reactions, and they all smile and nod. “That sounds like a great idea Applejack!” Twilight smirked and Aj beamed. “And Ah can grab some things from home before it gets dark. Ah don’t live too far from here.” She said, getting out of the water, then grabbing a towel to dry herself off. The rest of you end up getting out too, Applejack headed home to grab some things, Rarity and Fluttershy went home for the night, so the 4 of you end up finding places for tents, sleeping bags, the fire, etc. Applejack got back about 20 minutes or so later with some supplies that will last you the night. She ended up bringing 3 tents and 3 sleeping bags, and she said that all she had, though you were pretty sure she did that so you and somepony else had to sleep together; and it was obviously going to be Dash. And you were fine with that, though you think that she did that for you to sleep with somepony else other than Rainbow. you take it off your mind for now as you finish setting up your small camp. You end up going into the forest to find some wood for the fire, and when you get back they had just finished building the rock border for it. You place the wood in the center and Applejack sorts through her saddlebag to look for something, then sighs when she fails to find it. “Ah, darn it. Ah forgot the firestarter.” Applejack pulled away and sat down on one of the wood benches you all had around the fire. You and Twilight immediately look at each other, thinking the same thing. “It’s ok Applejack. I got it.” You say as you crouch near the fire and hold out your hand again. You focus, then flick your hand again and a flame appeared in your hand. The ponies wow at the sight. “Oooh, pretty!” Pinkie grinned as she watched, and leaned closer. You smile and slowly reach your hand towards the wood. A few of the kindling you put in there began to burn, then caught with the rest of the wood. You pull away carefully and put the fire out in your hand. “My, that’s handy.” Applejack chuckled, then leaned in on the fire to keep warm. You sit back down beside Rainbow and do the same, though it doesn’t really help much, and a quick but quiet shiver seeps out from your teeth. Rainbow notices and she snuggles into the side of you. You feel her and you cuddle her back, still keeping your arms close for warmth, though Rainbow was doing a good job of keeping you warm. She’s lucky to just carry a coat on her wherever she goes. You look up at the sky and see all the stars surrounding you and everything, and something comes to mind. “Hey, just a random question,” You turn to the ponies. “When, Princess Luna calls herself the Princess Of The night, what does the mean by that?” All the ponies giggle. “Oh, because she controls the night.” Twilight says obviously. You smile and laugh along with them, then stop once you realize what Twilight had just said. “No, but seriously.” You turn back to her, and they other ponies turn to you, confused. “The Princess Of The Night. She controls the stars and the moon. It pretty much says it in her name.” Twilight explains to you, and you nod with hesitation. You don’t bother to argue, you just accept it. You smile and laugh a bit. “Oh and lemme guess. Princess Celestia controls the sun right?” You laugh a bit harder, though the rest of the ponies don’t. “Well… Yeah!” Twilight said with a grin. You let out a long sigh and run your hands through your hair. “Everything, that I’ve learned growing up has betrayed me ever since I’ve got here. I’ll just accept everything I guess. No point in arguing with a world I’ve never been to before and know nothing about.” You mumble to yourself then look back up at the stars. There’s an awkward silence, and happily somepony breaks it just before the crickets started chirping. “Well, I brought some marshmallows!” Applejack smiled as she got up then came back with some sticks and a large bag of marshmallows. You each get passed a stick and a few marshmallows. You put one of the white, fluffy candies on the stick then put it in the fire, and the rest of the ponies follow your lead. After about a minute, you pull if back out of the fire and examine it. You smile. Perfectly cooked, though Twilight and Pinkie seemed to be having a bit of trouble. Twilights wasn’t cooked at all, and Pinkies kept catching on fire. You go over to help Pinkie as Applejack does the same with Twilight. And after an example, Pinkie beams as she finishes her marshmallow and it’s cooked awesomely. You congratulate Pinkie then sit back down beside Rainbow, who was munching on her last candy. She finished it then placed her head on your shoulder, and you rest your head on top of hers. “Lets tell scary stories!” Rainbow optioned, and looked up at you. You grin down back at her, then look at the other ponies. They shrug then agree on her announcement. “Anon, you wanna go first?” You think for a second and search your memory for a scary story, and finally think of a good one. “Sure.” “And they say, that to this day. If you see him, he’ll will haunt you until you die. And if you don’t do it yourself, then he’ll do it for you.” You finish your story. You told them a Slenderman story. And even if they didn’t understand exactly who he was, you still scared the shit out of all of them. Rainbow is holding your arm tighter than ever before, and the rest of the ponies are sitting in a tight group hug. “So, anypony else wanna go?” You look at all the ponies, and they looked like they were cling to each other for life, and you smile. You sort of feel like a horrible person for doing that, but at the same time you feel pretty damn good from the reaction you got. You’re not sure if Pinkie will be able to get to sleep tonight. Or the next, or the next… “Okay, I guess we should head to bed then.” You stand up, and Rainbow follows you, clinging to your arm. Applejack swallows hard then slowly stands up, shaking. “A-alright y’all. I g-guess we s-should head-d t-tuh bed…” Applejack walked over to her tent, then quickly zoomed over to you and hugged you tightly, and so did the other ponies. You sigh, knowing this would happen. So you all end up sleeping in one tent that night, and it was a small tent. Like a tent meant to fit two, maybe three max. But you managed to fit 4 ponies and a human in it. The ponies continued to shake in terror like there was no tomorrow, but they ended up peacefully falling asleep in your arms. You look at all the sleeping ponies on top of you, and smile at the sight of them. You let out one last long sigh following a yawn then fall asleep with the others. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7 //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7 Power chapter 7 You wake up, suddenly in some field in the middle of the night. You rub your head and got up onto your feet and looked all around you. Nothing. You scratch your head as your eyes adjusted to the light that the moon was creating. “What the-?” You ask out loud to yourself as you start walking forward towards a big forest that surrounded you and the field. The only sound you heard was the sound of crickets chirping away in the distance and the sound of grass crunching under your feet. suddenly the moonlight darkened until all around you was nothing but complete darkness. You suddenly hear sounds of thunder come closer towards you and one made you fall to the ground. The light came back on and you cover your eyes and wait for your eyes to adjust, but then forgot about it when you saw a silhouette of a large unicorn with, wings? You get back up and your eyes make out a dark blue alicorn with blue wavy hair with tiny sparkling stars shining within her tail and mane. before you could open your mouth to speak, the pony did instead. “Hello, fellow human. We welcome thou to the Dream Land.” She walked out closer to you and you rub your eyes. You squint one eye in confusion. “Twilight Sparkle had told us about you. We are here to formally invite thou to a dinner at the Canterlot Castle in person.” She smiled and looked at you. She was at your eye level too, her head stood at your height, just inches away from yours. “Oh, uhh, thank you?” You reply, unsure. She giggled and her voice echoed as if you were in a large, empty gymnasium. “We apologise, our name is Luna. THE PRINCESS OF THE NIGHT!” You jump up and suppress a scream. You cover your ears and she flew back down and covered her mouth, blushing a little bit. She apologised again. You quickly realize she used the word ‘princess’, so your first reaction was to bow, but she lifted your chin up with a hoof and stared into your eyes and smiled. “There is no need for that.” She giggled. You return the smile. “Oh, might I ask why y-you’re here?” You wonder. “As we said before, Twilight Sparkle told us about you, and we wanted to meet you in person. thus, here we are.” She started circling around you, checking you out. Oh god, please don’t let her be one of them. “Oh. So, we’re in a dream right now?” She paused in front of you and looked back at you. “Hmm, Twilight Sparkle never told us about how attractive you were, for not being a pony we are impressed.” She grinned, still not answering your question. Though you guess it didn’t matter though, you knew the answer but you were just making sure. “Oh, and yes, we are. Also, we were thinking tomorrow night. Is that a good day?” She rubbed her chin with a hoof. You nod and she brightened immediately and leaped at you and lifted you up for a big hug. “YES WE ARE VERY HAPPY THOU WILL- oh, I mean; we are delighted that you will show. Well, my job here is done. Oh and before we go, to wake up from this dream, you will either have to wait till morning, be woken up by another pony from reality, or die. and have fun!” She then disappeared. “Wait, what do you mean, have fun?” You try to ask but she was already gone. Suddenly, you hear a familiar voice come from behind you. “Hello Anon. are you ready?~” You turn around to see the pink and yellow flutter-ball slowly ascending from the darkness. You choose to die please. She pounced at you and you quickly dive out of the way, ending in a roll and she fell onto her hooves and jumped at you again. You slide out of the way on your back and your head rammed into a tree. Dazed, you try to get up but Fluttershy quickly jumped in top of you, making you start struggling. You have a quick thought that wasn’t completely thought out, but it was the only chance you had. You bent your arms and went to push off the tree and slide under her, but you were stopped short from her butt landing on your face. “Stop trying to avoid it Anon, I know you want it~” She giggled and moved her rump around on your face. From disgust of her, you use all your strength to pull yourself out from under her flanks. Once you finally make it out, you take a deep breath of fresh air and book it. For some reason, you didn’t have powers here either, but you still had free running skills. Which wasn't very effective, because there were no buildings or fences you could use to slow her down, just grass, trees and bush. Though you guess she was a pegasus so she would just fly over it- no shut up and concentrate on not getting raped. By the time you make it to the forest you could hear and feel her hot on your trail. You take sudden twists and turns to try and throw her off so you could hide and catch your breath but it was no use, and you were starting to slow down. You quickly have a flashback of what happened only moments ago and it gave you a burst of adrenaline and you start to hear the sounds of Flutterrape dissapear and you run up a tree to catch your breath. You immediately stop breathing when Fluttershy flew then stopped just down by your tree, but hadn’t spotted you yet. “Anon, you can’t hide from me forever. just come out! I promise I’ll be gentle.” You quickly have an idea. If you jump off the tree head first to the ground, you’ll die then wake up, then quickly wake up Fluttershy before she rapes your corpse. You stop thinking the second she looked up to the tree you were in then grinned. Shit “Hello Anon.” She bolted up towards you. And goodbye sleep for the next several weeks. You wake up back in Fluttershy’s bed, gasping for breath. Thankfully, Fluttershy wasn't in the bed beside you, but when you went to grab your pants they were gone. You climb out of the bed and walk down towards the kitchen where Fluttershy was. “Fluttershy, where did you put my pants?” She turned around and grinned uncomfortably. “Last night was fun. I know you had fun too.” She walked up to you and nuzzled your cheek. You couldn't help but crack a small, unnoticeable smile but then push her away and repeat your question. “Oh, i’ll tell you~.” She giggled as she put her two front hooves on your chest. You slowly take hold of her hooves and put them onto the ground. “Uhh I think I’ll just find them myself thanks.” And you head off to look for them but then stop when Fluttershy hopped in front of you. “I, um, made b-breakfast for you…” She smiled and made a quiet squee sound. You sigh and look over at the table with plates of steaming hot breakfast food on top of it. “Alright you win, but after that will you please tell me where you put them?” You ask politely, roughing her mane with your hands. “Ok fine.” She giggled and followed you. You both enjoy the incredible tasting breakfast, you retrieve your pants and shirt and head for the door and wave goodbye to Fluttershy, and head over to Rainbow’s house. When you make it there the house was quiet and you start searching the house for Dash. You walk up the stairs to her bedroom and she jumped out of the closet at you, and threw some sort of powder in your face and you fell onto the bed. After the smoke cleared and you finished coughing your lungs out, Rainbow hopped on top of you, grinning wildly. “What was that for?!” You furiously asked. “You’ll see~” She put a hoof onto your chest. You didn’t know if you were hallucinating or something but it seemed as if the world around you was getting bigger... nope, you were shrinking. When you were done shrinking, Rainbow’s hoof on top of you almost took up your whole body and you immediately start squirming, though after a few seconds, you realize it was useless. “Do you want to explain the meaning of this Dash?” You ask in a high-pitched voice, you were just hoping the answer wasn't gonna be what you thought it would be. “Don’t worry, this isn’t for sex. Though I will use this in the future for that.~” She licked her lips and smiled. You find yourself shaking all over after she finished that sentence. “So, this morning, Derpy stopped by here and gave me some mail, which had a ticket for you from Princess Celestia to go to the Grand Galloping Gala with us!” She cheered. “And the reason I’m like this…?” You continue your question. “That if you said no, I would make you say yes and want to go.” She grinned. “You’re a smart girl.” You sigh. Rainbow held her head high and smiled, but then came back down low to your face. “So what’s your answer gonna be? yes, or no?” She grinned and waited for and answer. Just to see, though she probably planned something awful, what she would do if you said no. Instead you just cross your arms and look up at her. She smiled and giggled. “Thats what I hoped you would say.” Wait, hoped?! Suddenly a giant tongue came down and covered your whole face in saliva. She moved her hoof and coated the rest of your body with pony drool. “Mmm, you taste even better when its your whole body at once. Still say no?” She giggled. Though you couldn't see or speak because if you opened your mouth to speak you would have a bucket of saliva pour into your mouth, so all you could make were mumbled sounds. “I’m not gonna stop until I get a clear yes!” You feel the bed move as her head came back down for another go, but you quickly get up and wipe your face to speak. “Ok fine I’ll go!” You wipe the rest of your body but it did nothing but spread. “Aww, I was hoping you’d hold out for longer than that, huh oh well.” She came at you with her mouth wide open. “Woah, woah woah! You said once you got a clear yes!” You back up until you were stopped by the head of the bed. “Yeah, but lets put it this way, this’ll count as owing me back.” She smiled and came at you again. You cover your face for impact and there was suddenly a knock at the door. You sigh in relief and Rainbow yelled to see who it was. “WHO IS IT?!” “It’s Vinyl!” You both hear reply from downstairs. Suddenly your face went from happy and relieved to ‘oh no’ emotion, and Rainbow grinned. You sit down on the bed and curl into a ball, but then quickly get up to scramble away but are caught by Rainbows mouth. Suddenly everything was dark, wet, and smelt awful. You hear mumbles come from outside and suddenly Rainbow spat you out onto her hoof. “Woah, why is he so small?” Vinyl looked down at you. “Poison Joke.” Rainbow giggled. “A-Am I s-some sort of t-toy to you R-Rainbow?!” You stutter, getting a bit angry. You were so gonna get her back for this. “You are now!” She giggled some more. You take off your shirt and ring it out then use it as a towel to dry you off. After you were almost dry, you are suddenly passed over to Vinyl, who then put you in her mouth. “Are you KIDDING ME?!” You yell and pound on the walls of her mouth. Her mouth started to fill up with saliva and it was up to your knees. You suddenly feel a large, warm wet tongue lick your whole body. You start to get really uncomfortable and scared as it started trying to get into your pants. After that, she spat you into her hoof and they both laughed, as you stay curled up in a ball shivering, scared for your life. This isn't how you planned out the day to begin. “Well, thanks for the taste Anon, but I just forgot my shades here so I came to pick them up. See ya!” She then closed the door behind her but not before winking at you and smiling. Rainbow looked down at you and you are PISSED. “And this is how you wanted to start out our first date huh?” You ask angrily, taking some strands of her hair to dry you off. “I’d say were off to a good start!” She smiled widely. She trotted back into her room with you still in her hooves and placed you gently on the covers and you shiver. “Do you have some kind of antidote to this?” You ask and she brought her head down close to you until you could feel her breath coming from her nose. “Well, duh! I’m not dumb Anon, I’m just not done with this yet!” She guffawed at you, pushing you on your side with an easy bump with her hoof. You let out and light sigh and sat back up. “Ok then, what do you want to do?” You hesitate throughout the sentence. She noticed and smiled. “Well, before we go out to actually start the *ahem* date, I thought we could stay here for a bit and ya know, just talk ‘n stuff…” The tone in her voice told you that she was being serious about doing something else besides what you were doing only moments ago, and you nod in response. “Oh, and before we start, Twilight told me and the rest of the ponies that we got invited to some dinner party at Canterlot tonight and said that you were invited to. Just reminding you if you did.” She curled up in a tight ball with you in her hooves, nuzzled your chest and hummed. “*Sigh* Thanks Rainbow.” You reply and hug her muzzle and she giggled. With every breath she took in and let out relaxed you more and you found yourself rubbing your face up against her muzzle. She giggled a bit harder and playfully licked you again, causing you to shiver. She noticed and held you closer to her and she opened her eyes. They were just like two, giant magenta moons, staring into you. “Can I have the antidote now please?” You try, scratching between her eyes and she looked down. “Well, then I can't really do anything with you, you’ll just run away or, avoid me or something.” She cleared her throat and you see a few tears appear in her eyes. You move out of her hooves and sit down very close to her face and hug her tightly. “Rainbow, the only reason I do that is not because I dont like you, its just… when I'm in a relationship, I sort of like to take it a bit slow. I just want you to know that I like you Dash, I really do.” You choke as a few tears appear in your own eyes and one of hers ran down her cheek and you try to wipe it away. She sighed and nodded. “I think, just to see, we could try doing this relationship my way for a little bit. Just to try it.” You kiss her forehead and hold it for a few seconds then continue hugging her and she returned the hug, which stopped you from shivering. She smiled and kissed your forehead back, which almost engulfed your whole face, but you laugh anyways. “Alright Anon,” She grabbed a small bottle of blue liquid and passed it to you. “I trust you.” You take hold of the bottle then drop it to hug her tightly and choke out a few tears. “I trust you too Rainbow.” Then for an unknown reason you burst into tears and she stroked your back and pressed her face against yours. “Shhh it’s ok Anon. It’s ok..” She said with a never heard calming voice, which eased your crying to minimum. “I-I’m…I’m so happy and lucky to have somepony like you Rainbow. I’ve just, n-never had someone love and care for me as much as you do. Just so much I sometimes forget that you’re not in my family or something. From how different we look and act, but I just feel so.. close to you-” You stop to have another round of tears run down your face then into Rainbow’s coat. She continued to stroke your back as she shed a few tears of her own, and you pet her coat and mane to try and calm her. After you calm down a bit, you drink what is in the small bottle and immediately start to grow, still holding tightly to Rainbow. You keep your eyes closed as you go back to 100% Anon again, but the feeling you had a minute ago never changed. You hold Rainbow’s head against yours and look back into her red, water-filled eyes and sigh. “Dashie.” She perks up and the sound of the name you call her, but relaxes again and continues to stare into your eyes as you do the same with her endless, magenta-filled eyes. “I’d be happy to go with you to the gala.” You confess and she giggled. “I told you I’d make you want to go.” You rough her mane and begin scratching behind her ears in the spot she liked it and she sank into the bed. “I guess we should get started on this date before we head to the dinner party in Canterlot?” You remind, wiping her tears away with your hand, opposite to the one making her feel like she was in heaven. You look out the window at the sunset. “Sure. but what can we do? Most of the stores have closed by now.” She looked out the window too. “How about we go for a nice flight?” She grinned and got up on the bed and raced for the door. You quickly get up and pass her, running down the stairs. You suddenly feel something come in contact with your back and you fall to the cloud floor and Rainbow passes over you and out the door. “Come get me!” She yelled, flying out the door. You immediately do as she told and fly after the pegasus who was soaring high in the sky and then above the cloud level, and you race each other through the night sky. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhTEu3W39Gw) You catch up to Rainbow dash and line up beside her. She turns to you and smiles then points to a mountain. “Race ya there!” She then took off in a flash, with you hot on her trail. As you get closer to her, you fly just over top of her and wrap your arms around her back and to her chest. She looks up at you and you just grin back as you start to pick up speed, holding on tight to her. You hold her with your legs and use your hands to hold her wings and she stopped flapping and looked up at you. You smile and wink at her, and she held on tightly to your chest and you hold her back. You take off with a big boom and you realize that you had broken the sound barrier. Rainbow looks up at you and holds up her hoof and you give it a hard bump with your fist. As you come close to a peak of the mountain, you slow and descend until you land on the ground and slowly drop Rainbow. “That. Was. AWESOME!” She screamed and launched a hug at you until the echo of her outburst faded away. You noogie her head for a few seconds and she pulled away and looked at you, mane all roughed up. You turn around towards the cliff and sit down on it, feet dangling over the edge, and Dash came and lay down beside you, lying her head on your lap. “Wow, look at that sun set.” You point towards the sun, just ahead of you, sitting on top of the clouds. “Yeah, its really nice.” She hummed. You both sit there for a while and you suddenly hear an owl ho from the forest below you. You bring up your hands to your mouth in a certain way and blow. You make the same call from the owl and it ho’s back at you. Rainbow looks up at you and looks at your hands. “Woah, how did you do that?” She grabbed one of your hands and studied it. “Here, try this…” You make the formation again with your hands and bring it to Rainbow’s mouth. “Blow.” You tell and she does, making a loud owl noise and the same owl ho’s back. Dash looks up at you and grows a huge grin “Thats so cool! How do you do that?” She looked down on the forest. “Heh, if you ever grow hands I’ll show you.” You wink at her and she giggles. You start massaging her shoulders and she sighed. After you finished with her back you move up to stroking her mane and she nuzzled your face. She started nuzzling your lips and you open your mouth and grab her muzzle playfully with your lips. She blushed and started licking the inside out your mouth, sticking her whole muzzle inside your mouth. Her tongue eventually meets yours and she started making out with you. You fall onto your back and she lies on top of you, continuing the kiss. She pulled away from the kiss but kept her face against yours and looked into your eyes. “Anon, I need to tell you something…” She continued to look endlessly into your eyes. “I...I…” She hesitated. Your heart rate started to pick up a little bit. Was she going to say what you think she was going to say? “I think we should head to Twilight’s and meet with them to head to Canterlot…” She finished. Your heart dropped. She doesn’t… she doesn’t lo- no Anon, she is just taking it slow just like you said she should. Don’t get ahead of yourself. You wait a few seconds then nod. She just wasn’t ready to say it. Neither were you. You lift her head away from yours and get up. You both stretch and fly away towards Twilight’s house. You start to choke up for a second then stop immediately to think to yourself. No, don’t let that ruin your first date with Dash. Besides, you can’t fall in love with a pony, its just wrong! You quickly shake your head from that last thought. No. You didn’t care. It didn’t matter to you if she was a pony. Deep down she is almost just like you, along with other ponies and humans. and besides... You can’t resist how adorable she was. As you pass through the cloud layer, Ponyville came into sight and you first notice Twilight’s library, along with Applejack and Fluttershy who were heading towards it. Rainbow flew to the library and you land beside Aj and Flutterball. “Oh howdy Anon! How was yer first date with Dash?” Aj smiled, bumping your shoulder. Fluttershy turned to you and waved, as do you back. “It… It was fun.” You mumble then perk up immediately to notice your tone of voice. Applejack tilted her head at you. “Somthin’ wrong sugarcube?” Aj cared. “Sorry, the date was really fun. Just, not really the way I thought it would go.” You walk up to Twilight’s library and open the door and notice Rainbow talking to Twilight. “Great! Everypony’s here! Now, here’s your tickets…” Twilight handed each of you a ticket and you put yours in your pocket. “The train will arrive soon, so lets head to the station.” Twilight explained as you all head for the door. As you walk outside, Rainbow flies over and hovers beside you and looks down at the ground. You scratch behind her ear and look down at her and she looks up at you and you both smile at each other. You make it to the train station and sit down on a bench, and Dash lies on your lap and you run your fingers through her mane. “What’s with those two?” Rarity whispered to Twilight, pointing to you and Rainbow. “*Sigh* Rainbow’s just confused and a bit scared about what is going on between her and Anon. Relationship wise.” Twilight explained back to Rarity and she nodded in understanding. You continue to pet Dash then start massaging her back. You notice her crack a small smile and she nuzzled your leg. She started to moan and blush as you start massaging her flanks and she moved her nuzzle up to your crotch. You laugh softly and continue to massage her, not caring what she was doing to you. You just wanted her to be happy. You hear and see the train start to pull into the station and you lift up Rainbow, carrying her in your arms. You give your ticket to the conductor and take a seat inside the small, train car. There were two benches, both designed to hold 3 passengers, so you continue to hold Rainbow in your arms throughout the ride to Canterlot, with Applejack and Fluttershy sitting on either side of you. You continue to rub Rainbow’s back, flanks, and hooves and she snuggled up closer to your chest. “Aww, Dash are you sleepy?” Pinkie hopped over to you and looked at Dash. Rainbow yawned in response and looked up at you with tired eyes. “Heh, ah don’t blame ya, it looks like y’all ‘re gettin’ a good rub from Anon. It looks relaxin’, but we shouldn’t fall asleep on the train ride. We don’t wanna be tired in Canterlot.” Aj pointed out as she leaned on your shoulder and so did Fluttershy on your other. The train jolted then slowly started moving forward and Rainbow curled up more and you hug her closer, scratching behind her ears. You look out the window behind you and so does Rainbow, who was now holding a tight hug around your neck. Even though you hated to, you had to keep Dash from falling asleep so every once in a while you had to make sure she wasn’t nodding off. She started nuzzling your cheek then turned it into a playful kiss/lick, causing you to chuckle a little bit as you continue to massage her. You suddenly pass through a tunnel and everything goes black for a few seconds. Though when light appears again, all the ponies in the cart including Dash have their rape faces on. You bring your legs up and curl into a small ball, which only pushed Rainbow closer to your face. Second tunnel. All the ponies are a lot closer to you than before. Third tunnel. All the ponies are sitting by you now, except Rainbow, who you were still holding close to your face as some sort of protection, which only made it worse because she stuck your face in her ass. You try hard to lift her off of you, but it only made her and you move around more and she just got more excited. You hear the other ponies giggle as they restrain you from moving your arms and legs. The light comes back on and you use the moment to push the ponies off of you and run for the caboose. You hear them chase after you and you run faster. Once you make it to the back of the train, you turn around to see the 6 ponies slowly walking towards you. You cover your face and brace for impact when you suddenly hear a slam. You move your hands away from your face and look at the shut door and slowly walk up to it and try the handle, and of course, locked. "Ok girls, very funny." You pound on the door but no one answers. You see the ponies walk back into the other car you were first in and close the door and continue talking, though you can't hear it from all the wind from outside the train where you are. As you continue to stand out there and climb the mountain it gets colder and darker and you begin to shiver. As you scan the inside of the room, you see yourself in the reflection of the mirror, along with the lock that was across the door. You suddenly have an idea and focus on the lock and begin moving your hand. The pin for the lock starts to slowly move up then sideways and you hear a click and you push the door open, and quickly fist-pump the air. As you walk closer to the first train car you were first in, the talking gets louder. You didn’t pay attention to it until you suddenly hear them talking about you. “I...I just to know what to say to him…” You hear Rainbow dash tell, causing you to duck to a wall close to the door and continue to listen closely. “Rainbow, ya’ll will know whut ta say if ya just listen to what yer heart is tellin’ ya to say.” You recognize Applejack’s accent. “But, I’m just afraid if I say what I think I should say, he will think I’m weird…” You shake your head as in the 'no' way without thinking. “Dash, if ya’ll are right for each other, nothin’ will separate you too. Especially somethin’ so stupid like that, I know he’ll eccept ya fer who you are.” You want to just jump out and give Dash a big hug, but just continue to listen. “But what if… What if I don’t love him?” “Thats yer decision sugarcube. But don’t let anypony else make it for ya. Ya’ll just do what ya think is right.” There was a long pause as you hear them all gather into a big group hug. “Alright Anon, ya’ll can stop pretendin’ that ya aren’t listenin’ and come in ‘ere.” You sigh with a hint for laughter and walk around the corner and first see Rainbow, who you can tell was obviously crying. She looks up at you and you let out the feeling you wanted to do for a while. You stretch out your arms and she dives at you and you hold her in a tight hug. You lose your balance and fall on a chair behind you. She buries her face into your shoulder and you lay your head on top of hers. “You don’t have to be afraid to tell me something. You can tell me anything, nothing will change.” You say slowly as you stroke her mane. She looks up at you with tears running down her face. “Really?” She sniffed. You use a thumb to wipe a tear away, holding her face and smile. “Of course, Dashie.” You conform. The other ponies smile at your words. She smiled and choked. You quickly lean in and kiss her passionately and her eyes widen from surprise, but then slowly close again as she joined in on the embrace. You hear Applejack giggle as the other ponies 'aww' in response to the sudden smooch. After a few more moments, you pull away but she quickly pulls you back into a hug and you chuckle along with the other ponies. Suddenly a pony which looked like one of the workers walked into the car, looking at the two of you. You don’t bother to push her away and Dash didn’t notice him so you continue to hold her. He shook his head and closed his eyes. “Please gather all your things, for we will be arriving in Canterlot in just a few minutes, thank you.” He then walked out. You look down at Dash, who seemed like she wanted to hold you forever, and honestly for you; you feel the same way. As the train slowly comes to a halt, you get up with Rainbow in your arms, who was still obviously hugging you. Once you feel the train completely stop, the same engineer walked in and opened the door. You saunter behind the other ponies, including Dash who had gotten out of your arms and actually walked, but only to be thrown to the ground on your face by a guard. “Stop! He’s friendly!” You hear Twilight backtalk. The guard gets off not before he growls at you. You get up and brush yourself off and give the guard a disapproving look. As you continue to follow the other ponies towards the castle, two guards spread their wings in front of you, stopping you in your tracks. “What now?” You moan. “Please remove your clothes sir.” One of the guards pleased. You snort but suppress the rest of the laughter. “Yeah, not gonna happen.” You cross your arms. They immediately point the tip of their spears at you, which they were holding in their other wing. You take a step back in response. “Alright then, allow us to scan your clothes.” One of the guards step forward, making you step back again. “Woah, wait I don’t have anything on me, just my phone.” You take your cell phone out of your pocket and the guards steps back and the other guard points his spear at you. “Drop the object! Now!” One of the guards demand. You facepalm yourself and rub your forehead. “For fucks sake, its a contact device!” You turn it on and show it to the guards. Twilight suddenly levitates it out of your hand and you turn around, and she walks up beside you to face the guards. “He’s safe.” She told, and they stepped aside. You walk in ahead of the girls and examine the room. You fall back just a bit until you’re beside Twilight. “Uhh, do you know where we’re going?” You request, admiring the palace. She hands you your phone back and you put it in your pocket. “Of course I do. I grew up here. We’re just heading to the main dining room so you can meet the princesses.” Your eyes widened at the word princess. But even more, there was two. And you were sure you would see the Princess Of The Night there too, but you wondered who the other one was. The seven of you, 11 if you include the guards, make it to a large set of golden encrusted doors. The two guards on either side open the door and reveal a large table filled with food, making your stomach rumble for a second making you realize how hungry you are. As you continue to walk in, you are greeted with the princess from your dream, and a taller alicorn, white coat and transparent rainbow mane, who was first to speak. "Hello Girls, Hello Anonymous. My name, is Celestia." She walked up to you. And because she was a bit taller than Luna, she was almost taller than you. You look behind you at the other ponies and guards, who were bowing at the two princesses presence. You go to bow but she holds out a hoof to stop you and giggles slightly. "There is no need for that. Now, I recall inviting you all to a dinner. Please, have a seat." She moved out of the way and pointed to the large table. As you all walk to the table, you notice Celestia nod to the guards behind you and they walk out the door without speaking. You take a seat and Twilight sits on one side of you, while Luna sat on your other side, and Dash across from you. You look in front of you, an obvious appetizer of salad. “Alright Anonymous, I’d like to know a bit about you. Where are you from?” Celestia turned to you and you relax back into your chair, sighing. “Well, I told Twilight as much as I could so if you want to know everything just ask her.” You point your thumb at Twilight and she kicks your shin and you laugh slightly, along with Rainbow. “I would more like to enjoy hearing it from you.” Celestia smiled. The other ponies leaned in for your response too, and you shrug your shoulders. “Well, as easy as a question like, 'where am I from' would be easy to answer, I honestly don’t know.” you begin playing with your food. “Wadda mean, ya don’t know?” You look up at Applejack, who was leaning close, tilting her head. “I just dont know. Don’t remember… I barely remember anything… not even my family…friends...” You start to doze off and sigh through your nose. “Oh, we are sorry, we can change the subject.” You look up at Luna, who had salad dressing spread on her muzzle. “No, its fine. I don’t really care what we talk about, at least we’re communicating.” You point out as you finish playing with your food and actually try eating it. Damn, why is food in this cartoon pony world so good? So after the dinner, which ended up as just eating salad and other appetizers you went off to bed. What you ate was enough, and you didn’t feel like eating any more after Fluttershy started talking, which made you lose your appetite. “Are you sure princess?” One of the guards checked again. “Yes. I want you to leave him access to the castle. Just dont let him leave it, understood?” Celestia replied. “Yes your highness.” You and Dash walk with each other down the long hallway while Luna and the other girls talk ahead of you. “This is a nice castle. I’ve never been in one before.” You admit. She turns up to you. “Really? Never?” You shake your head in response. Luna fell back to the two of you as the other ponies went to their separate rooms. “You will be staying here for the night as well.” She walked up to a door and opened it with her magic. You and Dash both walk in and your jaw drops in awe. “Wow, this is the room? Whatever the amount of money this is, I can’t afford it.” You walk up to the bed and sit down on it, feeling the bedsheets. Luna and Dash both chuckle. “Do not worry about pay, Anonymous. Think of it as a gift.” She told with a cute smile. “Wow, thanks.” You return the smile and she nods. “Well, have a good sleep. We will see you in the morning, have fun you too.” She then walked out of the room blushing, leaving you and Dash and you both just smile at each other. “You want to sleep with me tonight? Well, let me just warn you, that with a big bed like this, I usually spread my arms and legs out a lot.” You tell, lying down on the bed and begin taking your clothes off. Rainbow flew over and lay down beside you. “That makes two of us, heh,” She grinned, stretching out her hooves and wings. Once all of your clothes were off, you climb under the covers and go to lie your head back when you suddenly feel feathers on the back of your head and neck. You turn to Dash and she smiles, then rolls onto her left shoulder, facing you then wraps her other wing around you, pulling you close to her chest. You mantle your arms around her and she does the same with you with her legs and tail. “This room is so, big and flashy. Are they all like this?” You wonder, holding her tight. “No actually. I asked the princess if we could share a honeymoon suite together. What do you think?” She looks up at you, blushing a tiny bit under her cyan coat. You smile and kiss her on the muzzle. “I think it was a great idea Dash.” She blushes a bit brighter and covers her and your face with a wing, making everything completely dark. You suddenly feel a wet tongue lick at your lips, which were shut. You open them up and she slipped her tongue into your mouth and found yours. After your session, she moves her wing down but keeps it on your face, making you continue to stare into her eyes. “Dash, I just wanted to tell you that I really liked seeing you tonight, it was fun.” You profess, scratching behind her ear in the place she loved it and she sank into the bed. “Me… too…” She mumbled out, causing you to smirk. She began stroking your face with her wing which tickled a little bit and you let out a small chuckle. You start rubbing her back, and she slowly climbed onto your waist and sighed. “You know… I talked to one of the masseuses at the spa yesterday and asked if you could get a job there. And they said yes! And guess who’s going to be your first customer?” Your eyes met and you poked the tip of her muzzle playfully. “You? Dash, if you wanted this more often you could just ask, I mean you don’t have to pay for a massage I enjoy doing it-” “Its not only me Anon. The rest of the girls will be there too!” You suddenly stop rubbing her back and she turns to you after noticing. “Oh come on Anon, they just want to have a turn! You only do this for me every once in a while. It’ll only be one day, ok?” You let out a long sigh, then crack a small grin. “Ok Dash, you win.” You continue rubbing her back, then moving down to her flanks and again, she moaned in delight. You move her body around so she is facing your feet and her wings suddenly shot out as you begin massaging in between the inside of her flanks. As you finish around her tail and butt you move down to her hind legs when her hoof suddenly stopped you and moved your hand back up in between her flanks. “Y-you missed a s-spot.” She stuttered, moving your hand up to her… uh… you can guess… You quickly pull your hand away. “Uh, no thanks. I don’t want to start massaging there and then have to do it with the other ponies.” “Ok fine. But some time you will~…” She turned around and crawled up onto your chest and wrapped her hooves around your neck and curled up. You coat your arms around her and pull her in and you both snuggle each other to sleep. You wake up and slowly open your eyes and they meet Rainbow, who had her face pressed up against yours. You move your tongue around and you suddenly feel Rainbows muzzle, which was stuffed inside of your mouth with her tongue hanging out if it inside yours and drool pouring out of her mouth into yours. What the hell did she do last night? You lift her head off of yours and wipe your mouth, then look over at the clock. 7:00. You sigh and look out the window; still dark. You yawn then move your head back to face Dash and try to force yourself back to sleep. After about 10 minutes of lying there, you realize that you weren’t even tired anymore. You quietly and carefully slip out of the bed, trying not to wake up the loudest snoring mare you’ve ever heard. You put on your clothes and begin to walk to the door, when something out the window catches your eye. You walk up to the window and look down at one of the lower decks of the castle. And sitting right by the window, was an enormous, grand piano, waiting to be played. You snap out by the sound of Rainbows snoring and head for the door, but not before leaving a kiss on Rainbows forehead, making you both smile. You mindlessly wonder through the giant halls of the castle, and surprisingly every guard lets you through every door you please without speaking or even making eye contact. Most of the guards were asleep anyway. As you make your way further down each hallway, just when you were about to give up, you open one last door that was unguarded. And there, sitting and gathering dust was the biggest piano you’ve ever seen. You almost let out a girly fan scream and clench your hands into fists and hold them close to you chest, but instead speed walk over to the large instrument. You open up the lid and place the rod to hold it up and look inside. “Wow” You say quietly to yourself. You sit down on the piano bench and play a different song than before without knowing. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm4p7PXG1fg) When you are done, you suddenly hear hooves clopping together. You turn around to see a black maned, grey coated mare. You get up and push the bench in and she stops clapping when you open your mouth to speak. “Sorry if I woke you up, I was just wondering around and saw this…” You point to the large instrument. “No need to apologise. Besides, I couldn’t sleep anyways and I heard beautiful music and followed it to here.” She walked up to you and looked at your hands, then held one in her hoof. “Hmm, these are interesting, parts. I guess you work well with them?” She looked to your other hand and examined it. “Uh, yeah, I guess so.” You reply, slowly slipping your hands away from the pony. “Oh, pardon my manners. My name is Octavia.” She cleared her throat then looked at you, waiting for a reply. “My name is Anon.” You tell, lightly shaking her hoof. “Anyways, I should probably find my way back. It was nice talking to you though, Octavia.” You walk towards the door. “Wait, um, before you go. Could you, possibly play another song for me?” You stop and turn around to face her and let out a sigh. “I should really be heading back…” “It can be a maze getting back up to the higher levels of the castle, especially for a new visitor like you. How about this, you play a song for me and I will show you back to your room.” She tilted her head up a bit in confidence. You grow a small grin and walk back over to the piano and pull out the bench then sit down to play (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNsgHMklBW0). Instead of just one set of hooves clapping, you hear many more hooves. You turn around to see the six girls and two princesses standing just inside the room, making you flush a bit red. You try to break the clapping with the start of a conversation. “Good morning…” You say as you get up. You hear the unorganised replies of 'Good morning' come back at you from the small crowd of ponies. After the clapping stops, Celestia is the first to speak of the pack who actually says something you can understand. “Good morning Anonymous. We have come to get you for breakfast. I see you have made another friend?” She looks from you to Octavia, so do you. “I uh, guess you could say that…” You shrug your shoulders. “I see your group has found you. Goodbye Anon.” Octavia waves as she leaves the room, as do you back. The two princesses and six ponies walk out of the room with you following, and of course, Dash falls back to your side. “Good morning Dash.” You yawn, holding your arms out and she lands in them in a tight hug. “You just left the room without me? You could’ve woken me up!” She wrapped her legs around your waist and one foreleg around your neck and another poking at your chest. “It was early and I didn’t want to wake you up. Besides, I couldn’t bare wake you up, you’re just so adorable when you sleep.” You laugh. “Though, its nothing compared to what you are usually…” You wink at her. She giggles and nuzzles your neck. You try to find a comfortable way to hold her in this position, and you find one of your arms around her back, and another holding her flanks to hold her up. Which of course, made her groan and giggle a little bit more. So you eat another yet amazing tasting breakfast, say a few more good byes and hop back on the train back to Ponyville. When you make it back to the tunnels, you get up and stand in a corner, preparing to defend yourself until you were through all the tunnels, but the ponies just laughed at your actions. When the train comes to its stop at the station, you walk out and hear the sound of crunching under your feet. You look down and your eyes meet a white powder. Some memories rush through your head, but not a strong as usual and it is quick. “Oh yeah, tuhday was our first day of winter!” You hear Applejack recall. You crouch down and pick up a large handful of snow, form it into a ball and stand back up. Rainbow dash hovers over beside you, looks at the snowball then up at you. You both grow the same grin. You look back over at Applejack who was walking away, tilt your arm back and launch the snowball like a catapult and it hits Aj square in the back of the head, knocking her hat off. She growls and picks her hat back up from the ground and looks towards the two of you, fire in her eyes. “Who threw that!?” She looked between the two of you. Rainbows laughing suddenly stopped at the sight of how angry Applejack was, and slowly hovered away, whistling. “ANON!!” She charged towards you and you sprint the way Rainbow was flying away, then take to the sky to join her. “YOU GET BACK ‘ERE RIGHT NOW!” She yelled after the two of you as you fly away towards Dashs house. You get to the doorstop of her house and you brush yourself off as Dash just shakes her coat from snow, though her hair was still a bit damp along with yours. “Holy shit. Had I not have been able to fly, I’d be dead.” You start. “I’m not surprised she was that angry. You hit her hard!” She laughed along with you. You lie down on the couch and Dash lies on top of you in her normal position. You suddenly shiver violently for a few second then hug Dash close. “Why do you have to live in a house so high up?” You complain. “I’m fine with it. I’m used to the cold and stuff. Besides, I’ll be here to keep you warm~” She snuggles higher up on your body, and you hug her closer. “Yeah? Well unless you’re fine with me carrying you around on me for the rest of the winter I should probably buy a coat.” You chuckle. You notice Rainbow crawl up higher and begins licking your hair to dry it. You begin scratching her back to return the gratitude. After you are both done, she ruins the moment of silence with: “Oh, and the spa thing is in about 10 minutes.” You nearly jump at her words and she notices, and presses her face against yours staring into your eyes which immediately calmed you down. “That soon?! Oh no, I can’t Applejack is going to kill me!” You worry but she stops it with a short kiss. “Don’t worry. She will probably forget or forgive the whole thing after you’re done with her. But don’t be surprised if she asks for a little more than a massage~...” You swallow hard as she gets up off of you and walks towards the door. “We should actually head over there now. We will be a bit early so you can start with me then the other ponies after, ok?” You get up and let out a long sigh. “...fine…” You get up and fly out with her. She cheers a flies beside you all the way to the spa. When you get there, just the two recognizable spa workers were there behind the desk. They both look up when the bell rings from the door. “Ah, you’re here! Please follow us…” One of them said as they both got up and walked into the back room. “I guess its better if we’re here early…” You almost choke on your words as you walk into the room. They were all there already! You and Applejack first make eye contact and she grinned uncomfortably, making you swallow hard. “Hi Anon~” They all say at the same time. In the tone of their words, it almost made you curl up into a tight ball and rock back and forth or make a running getaway. But you knew you would be caught by Dash before you would even make it to the door, and there was no excuse to leave. So you kinda have no choice... “Ok… lets just get this over with…” You rub your forehead, sighing. “Oh come on…” Rainbow comforted, dragging you into a candle-lit room. “I’m sure we will all enjoy it~...” After finishing with Rainbow, who was a lot quicker than expected, Applejack was next in line. You let out a courage-filled sigh, and turn the corner to face her. “Hello Applejack, you’re next…” You turn the corner and walk back into the room. She follows along beside you and lies on top of the bed. You begin rubbing her front hooves. “Look Applejack, I just wanted to say that-” “Y’all don’t have to. Its alright. Besides, I’m probably the one who should be sayin’ they're sorry. Ah may have over reacted tuh what happened. So A’hm sorry.” She cut you off with. “Me too. I don’t know what happened. I think I had one of those memory things again, and it just happened before I realized what I was doing…” You begin on her neck and back. “Like ah said, its fine. It happened and we move oohhohohn~...” She moaned as you move on to her flanks, making you crack a small grin and chuckle slightly. After you finish with her, she leaves the room but not before she brushes her tail along your face as licks her lips as she walks out. “Ah’ll see ya later partner~” She trotted out. You freeze completely for some reason, but are almost frightened out of it when Pinkie hops into the room. Pinkie was almost impossible to keep from moving. You barely massaged her, all you really needed to do to make her happy was scratch behind her ears and rub her belly, so she was quicker than expected. Rarity was next in line. The whole time she was in there, she just kept talking about her career and Canterlot, and a lot of it you didn’t understand or pay attention to. “My, my darling, you must be a professional masseuse! You could get a lot of money doing that. Why, if you worked here I’d come here every day!” She sighed. She started blabbing on more until you were finally done with her and she was out. Once she left the room, you sigh in relief. At least she wasn’t trying to get it on with you or anything. “Hello Anon.” Fluttershy spoke as she hovered into the room. “Hey Fluttershy.” You respond as she climbed onto the bed and you start on her front hooves. She surprisingly didn’t speak to you at all throughout the whole session. And you realize why when you told her you were done and she wouldn’t get up. You pick up her head and face it towards you. She had been sleeping the entire time! You didn’t want to do this for these ponies, but if you were might as well enjoy it! You pick her up and walk out into the lobby and put her down on one of the benches, though when you went to walk away, she grabbed your arm and you couldn’t move. The ponies giggle at the sight of you attempting to pull away from her grasp. You sigh and sit down beside her and she smiled brightly and climbed onto your lap. “I guess I can take a break now…” You close your eyes and exhale. You open one eye and see Applejack sit down beside you and lean on your shoulder. You suddenly yawn without noticing. “Tired, Anon?” Aj asks quietly. “Yeah, a bit. I woke up a bit early this morning. And I also never knew that massaging ponies could be so tiring.” You yawn again, but its stopped short by Aj's mouth meeting yours. She pulled away before you did, and Rainbow suddenly flew in front of Applejack. “Hooves off, Aj!” Rainbow defended. Aj looked over at you with a sly grin. You shrug in response. You look over at Twilight, who had met your gaze. Alright, 5 down, 1 to go. You carefully lift Fluttershy off of your lap, stand up and stretch. “Ok Twilight, lets get this over with…” You mumble as you walk into the room, and Twilight followed. She climbed onto the bed and you start on her front hooves as usual. As you move onto her back, she starts to moan uncomfortably. “Oh, Anon. You’re so good at this! This is definitely something we can use in our experimentation.” She looked up at you and smiled, though you just blow air through your nose. She talked more about some things about the experimenting and also reminded herself to do some more after the spa back at the library, and you quickly decline. Though Twilight doesn’t give up easy… especially when its something to do with learning. You somehow found a way to not go and she accepted, though you promised to go early tomorrow. When your conversation was done, and the massage, you both walk back out to the lobby. You nearly crash onto the bench where you originally were, and you rub your hands. “Just to let you ponies know, that was a one time thing. I’m not doing that again.” You feel Fluttershy climb back onto your lap, and Aj nuzzle your neck. “Alright Anon, ya win this one.” Applejack giggled. After everypony was ready to leave, you pick up Fluttershy and walk out the door. You tell Rainbow that you’ll meet her at her house, then go to drop off Fluttershy. You make it to her house and open the door, then walk down the hallway towards her bedroom. You open the door, instead to do it normally, you use your powers and you smile when it works, then slowly but carefully, lie her in her bed. Doing so, you lose your balance and fall on top of her, making her wrap her hooves around your chest and pulling you into her, practically sticking to you like glue. She begins nuzzling your face and you start to laugh a bit. She presses her muzzle against your nose, and even with her eyes closed, she somehow made it impossible to look away from her adorable face. After a while of staring at her and listening to her soft, quiet breathing, you pull her in for a warm hug. You slowly break up the hug and get up to leave, when you are stopped suddenly by a white bunny that stood between you and the door. “Uhh, hi.” You bend down to examine the small creature. Though it just stared coldly into your eyes. “Uhh, I have to get by here, so if you could just move so I don’t step on you that’d be good-” Though when you went to take a step forward, it would just move in front of you, surprisingly making you take a step back. It suddenly started making gestures with his arms. He pointed to Fluttershy, then you, and hugged himself, and you soon realized what he was getting at after his game of charades. “Uhh, I’d love to… but, I’ve gotta head back. Tell Fluttershy I said hi when she wakes up, ok?” You wait for an answer. He just continued to stare at you. You shake your head. Did you actually just ask a bunny a question and then wait for an answer, for real? You chuckle at yourself then fly over to Dashs house. As her house makes its way into your vision, you also notice a large, snow built fort just below her house, with a rainbow tail flailing around just behind it. You slowly and quietly desend to the ground on the opposite side of Rainbow and crawl around the other side of the fort, closer to her. When you finally make it all the way around, you see Dash's rump, hind legs and tail sticking out from under one of the walls of the fort, which looked like it had collapsed on her. You begin to laugh, loud enough for her to hear you. "Anon? Anon is that you? Get me out of here!" She started kicking wildly. "Ok, ok calm down, I'll help you..." You take hold of her hind legs firmly and yank, pulling her head out from under the fort. She shook her coat quickly, making snow go flying everywhere. "What happened?" you brush some snow out of her mane and tail. "Well, I was trying to make a snow fort for us, but it kept falling over and collapsing. Hooves aren't the best working tools I guess..." She sighed, sitting down and playing with some snow in front of her. You crouch down beside her and wrap and arm around her neck and pick up some snow with your other hand. "I can help." You move your fingers, making the snow fall through between them, and you both look at each other. She suddenly smiled brightly, and flew up then started packing up more snow against the fort. You both make some sort of igloo with a door on both opposite sides, and one hole in the top. When you finally finish with the fort, you look down at your hands and move them around. They were already numb and really cold. You find your whole self shivering from the cold. All you were wearing was a white t-shirt and some pants. "Hey Anon, can you help me with this?!" You look over at Rainbow, who was pushing a giant snowball... Or trying anyways. You walk over there and attempt to help push the giant snowball over to the fort. Though every attempted step to push it, would just make you sink into the deep snow. You wave Dash away from it and take a step back. You charge some sort of power through your arms and then punch them out in front of you, hands open wide. It made some sort of small sound wave that blasted the snow ball about 10 feet, along with some more snow and Rainbow dash, who then landed in a pile of white powder. You run over to her to see if she wasn't hurt, but she flew out of the pile with a huge smile on her face. "That...Was...AWESOME!" She flew at you and tackled you. As you both lie there, you notice that the shivering and cold feeling that you had, dissapeared. Even though you were both lying in the snow. But just holding her made you feel better. You both chuckle then climb out of the snow. As you walk over to the fort, you suddenly feel something splat on the back of your head. You turn around and both look at each other with a challenging grin, then both break into a huge snow-filled warfare. As you're about to throw one more snowball at her, you suddenly get one from the back of your head. You turn around, to see all 5 ponies, holding snowballs and staring at you. You slowly walk back, then swing an arm around you, causing another sort of sound wave not as strong, but strong enough to completely cover all 5 ponies with snow. You quickly use the chance and run into the fort with Rainbow. As you run through the door, you nearly trip over a pile of snowballs and catch yourself before falling onto her. You look around the fort. There were piles and piles of snowballs everywhere. They almost looked like sandbags, well, snowbags in this term. "Start throwing, come on!" Rainbow ordered as she began unleashing loads of snowballs at the 5 ponies. You look out the door beside you. You see the ball that you had launched with the soundwave earlier. You realize that the ponies were surrounding you no matter how much you attacked them. You grab Rainbows hoof and sprint over to the large boulder of snow, just when Aj had smashed into the fort. You pull her close to you behind the snowball and let out a breath you didn’t know you were holding in. She puts a hoof to your chest and laughs. “Anon, calm down, its just a snowball flight!” She giggled. You chuckle along with her for a second. “I usually tend to take stuff like this seriously. And besides, to you ponies its always more than just a snowball fight. What happens after you beat me, huh?” You widen your eyes at her to make your point, and she grins at you. You suddenly hear a loud sound come from in front of you, and Twilight suddenly appears after a flash of light. She grins at you and the other ponies gallop over, and give you the same look. You let out a sigh then look down at Dash, who was obviously holding the grin too. “Seriously Rainbow, whose side are you on?!” You grunt, though she just widened her grin with a bit more of a sexier look in it. You begin to realize that they’ve started closing in on you. You take a small step back and feel the snowball hit your back. You take a quick glance behind you at it. And just as you notice Twilights horn begin to glow brightly, you quickly backwards shoulder roll over the ball and make your getaway. You jump to begin your takeoff when you feel Rainbow come into contact with your back and you fly into the snow, almost making the effect of a crashing meteorite. She turns you over onto your back and you see the other ponies rush towards you in the distance. Though she turns your attention back to her with a passionate kiss, that made all your shivering and coldness go away. You both look deeply into eachothers eyes, then uncomfortably break it up when the other ponies trot over. The second she breaks the kiss, you start to feel cold and begin to shiver again once you see your breath when you exhale. “Uh, this was f-fun, but I think I’m g-going to head ins-side before my limbs f-fall off.” You stutter a bit, still unable to move because of the rainbow pegasus that was standing over you. Rainbow dropped her head low, then turned it into a warm nuzzle under your chin, making you chuckle a bit. “Aww, come on Anon! Just a bit longer?” She asked like a child, making you smile a bit more. “Hey, it’s not my fault that you have a fur coat and I don’t!” You brush a hand over her face. You suddenly hear Rarity gasp, as if on cue while you were thinking about a coat. “Anonymous! You must come with me and I will make you a nice, warm jacket!” You look past Dash at Rarity, then back at Dash. Her face dropped from happy and excited to the dammit look. “Ok, fine. You can go.” She moved away and you climb up, then quickly scratching behind her ears, and she tried to hold back a smile and failed. You follow Rarity to her boutique, and on the way you see many little ponies playing in the snow outside their houses. You also see Derpy playing outside in the snow, sadly alone with no pony else. So you make a mental note to drop by and say hi on your way back. You walk into her shop and take in a deep breath of warm air through your nose. “I honestly cannot believe you were able to stay out there that long with just a thin shirt like that! You must be shivering!” She walked out of the room and into another to grab something, still talking. “Yeah, I’ve grown used to it. Besides, if I run around I keep warm, just sometimes not warm enough.” You shrug your shoulders. She walked back in with a ruler tape and trotted up to you. “I also wanted to thank you for this shirt too. If it weren’t for you I’d be walking around shirtless.” You laugh a bit. She pulled off your shirt with her magic and shook out all the snow and ice. You shiver a tiny bit. It was warmer inside here than out there but it was still pretty cold. After she was done taking your measurements, she gave you your shirt back and looked up at you to talk. "Alright, I have your measurements, do you want me to take the rest of your measurements for different clothes?" She offered genourusly. Your eyes widen at her offer. You didn't want to say yes because of all the things she has done for you, but it was an offer and you did need the extra clothes. "You're sure about that?" You squint an eye at her. She grinned and moved a bit closer. "Oh, of course! That is what friends do, is it not~?" She put her two front hooves on your chest and touched her muzzle to you nose. You smile and chuckle a bit, scratching behind her ears then take hold of one of her hooves to let her down slowly. She kept one hoof on your chest and gave you a quick kiss, then blushed brightly. You smile and look at her, then sigh through your nose. "Ok then, uh, sure. Though I don't want to screw up your schedule or anything." You put your shirt back on. She stared at you for a few more seconds, then suddenly snapped out of what seemed like a trance, then looked back up at you. "Oh absolutely not! Let me just finish up your measurements then you can go and I'll get started." She pulled out the tape again and wrapped it around your neck. You see her struggling to see the measurements from the height you were at and you crouch down and you both smile at each other. When she was done with your collar and chest she moved down to your waist. "Um, darling, I actually can't seem to work around these pants, do you mind taking them off?" She pulled away and took a step back from you, taking her glasses off of her muzzle with her magic. You nod and take them off without argument. You were actually relieved to take them off, because they were soaking wet from all the melted snow. You take them off and throw them to the side and Rarity went back to her work. Though when she went back to work, she still seemed unsatisfied with something. "Something wrong?" You ask, looking down at her. She hummed. "I hope it may not be a problem, but can you also remove these too please?" She tugged at you boxers around your waist and your hands immediately move to them to hold them up. "Do I, have to? You can't just work around them?" You try, letting go of the underwear after she stopped her flow of magic. She looked up at you and grinned. "Oh don't be so shy, my dear! It'll only take a moment..." She stared at you, hoping you would take them off for two reasons, and you can guess them both. "Can't I just lower the waist band for them or something?" You try again. You sigh with relief when you feel she gives in. "Alright, I'll let you go easy with this one. But next time you'll have to alright?" You go to pick up your pants and put them on, pretending to not hear her. "Anonymous?" You sigh again and look back at her. "Maybe..." You wave after putting on the rest of your clothes then heading out the door. As you head out the door, you notice it’s starting to get dark, though you still go to see if Derpy was outside. At last, you make it to the clearing where you last saw her and it had just started to snow some more. As if there wasn't enough, the snow in some spots were up to your kneecaps. You see her still outside, building something from snow. Though you also notice that all the other ponies had gone inside. It was almost a sad sight to see her there alone, starting to be in the dark. You climb through the snow towards her until you can see her clearly and you're about 5 feet away from her. "Hey, Derpy." She turned around, revieling her adorable, wall-eyed face, that soon turned into a big smile. She gasped and leaped at you, hugging you tightly. Happily you didn't fall into the snow so your clothes didn't get anymore snow on them, but you put all your energy into the hug instead of balance. "Anonymous! It's so good to see you again!" She held the hug a bit longer than usual, but it didn't really bother you. “It’s good to see you too.” You smile. You go to pull away from the hug, but she just holds you tighter and flaps her wings. After a few more seconds, she finally pulls away, but continues to stare at you, (and at a house to the left) with a huge grin on her face. You look behind her at the snow object she was trying to build. “What are you making?” You point to the snow thing behind her and she turned around, then suddenly dropped her head low. “I was trying to make some sort of fort, but it didn’t really work out to well…” She walked over to the snow pile and sighed. You saunter over to her and rest a hand on her back. “Listen, Derpy, it’s getting late and we should both probably head home. But I’ll walk you back if you’d like” Her ears perked up and she turned to you, happiness growing back onto her face. “Ok!” She said happily, then following with a yawn, which caught onto you. You walk with her through the quiet, dark, snow falling town and you eventually make it to her house. She opened her door and turned back to you. “It was nice seeing you again. Hopefully tomorrow we could see each other! Do something in the snow maybe?” You nod and pet her mane and she rubbed her face into your hand. You chuckle a bit then sigh. “Maybe. I don’t have anything planned, but something usually comes up. But if I’m not, I’ll drop by.” You give her one last hug, then wave as you head towards Rainbows house. You don’t realize how tired you actually are until you make it to her house; as if you could smell sleep just a few minutes away. You make it to the doorstep, and you subtly hear some noises that may be coming from the TV. You open the door slowly and quietly, just in case she was asleep so you wouldn’t wake her up, and you see her, eyes a quarter open, lying on the couch, flipping through channels. Once you fully make it inside, her head turns towards you and a smile grows on the both of your faces. “Hey Dash.” You walk in and take off your shoes, then go in to sit beside her. You lie down on the couch followed by a long sigh, and Rainbow slowly and lazily climbed onto your chest and listened to your heart. You bring a hand up and run it through her mane a few times, then look down at her face when you hear her yawn. “Alright, lets get you to bed…” You also yawn, then carry her in your arms as you climb up off the couch then up the stairs. you feel her nuzzle your neck, then turn it into a hug as she wrapped her hooves around you. “Thanks Anon.” She told, making you a bit confused. You open the door with your powers then lay her down on the bed. “For what?” You ask, then begin taking off your clothes. “For being there for us. For me.” You look over at her and she was curled up in a small ball with the covers, then lifting them up with a hoof, inviting you in. You climb in happily beside her after taking off the rest of your items and cape your arms around her, as did she with her hooves, wings, and tail. “I, honestly don’t know how to respond to that…” You tell, letting out another sigh. “I don’t know how, or why I got here, but if I don’t find a way back, I think I’ll like it here with you. And I think if I was given a choice to go or stay… It would be hard to choose…” You explain, rubbing her back. “I just don’t know how you put up with us…” She sighed, curling up a bit more and you hug her tighter. “Yeah, you ponies may be annoying at times, and try to rape me, but there is just something about you girls that makes me want to stay.” You let out a sigh and scratch behind her ears, and you feel her relax a bit. “That’s good to hear.” He nuzzled your cheek and then ran her tongue up your cheek to you bridge between your eyes. “That just gives us some more time to… take it slow~” She chuckled and began a make out with you. You close your eyes as you join in on the embrace. The second you pull away, You and Dash both feel you shiver wildly and you look out the window at the snow falling. “I can’t wait ‘t-till I g-get that j-jacket” You chatter a bit. Rainbow notices and hugs you a bit tighter, puts her head on top of yours, making your head go under her chin. You curl up into a tight ball and she wraps herself around you, keeping you warm and you both let out a relaxed sigh. “And thank you Dash,” You say back, and you feel her ear flick at the sound of your voice. “For what?” She hummed. You let out another yawn. “For giving me hope and a reason to stay here.” You smile, then move your head to face her, and press your foreheads, noses and muzzles against each other and look into each others eyes. “You're welcome.” She giggled and you join in with her, then falling asleep in each others arms and hooves, with the gentle snow falling outside the window
