To the world of equestria
A bond none can break
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"
I woke up a few times during the day, luckily i awoke at lunch and dinner. Twilight saw my famish and got me some hay sandwich, it tasted different from what i'm used to but it was good. I was entirely grateful of Twilight doing this for me, she took the time from other things to take care of me. Instead of hanging out with some friends or doing whatever a Princess does to make sure i was fed, healing properly and overall doing well. I couldn't be in any more debt to her, which i will at some moment repay. I didn't know how i would repay it but i knew that i will someday.
I end up finding myself awoken the next day by a warm feeling on my chest, i didn't pay any attention at first thinking it being the sunlight coming in. That's until i felt tiny things moving on my chest.
So i open my eyes to see what was on me, i look down from the ceiling to see a purple green....dragon
At first i screamed, with whatever memory i had of dragons it's that there dangerous, i didn't notice that it was a baby dragon though. Anyway i ended ip jumping up sitting up on the bed, as if knowing i would do that, the baby dragon jumps off.
"Woah! Calm down."
"Your a-a...wait baby dragon?"
The dragon seems to blush at me saying this, but that wasn't on my mind. I started questioning my own memory that moment. I could remember nothing of my past but can remember how dangerous dragons can be, i felt something off as well, as if my memory isn't my memory. Like somepony else's memory placed into my head. I pondered on this for a second before i saw the baby dragon staring at me.
"Hey you ok dude?"
"H-huh? Oh yeah i'm fine"
The dragon seems to change his attitude as my voice calms.
"Ook, well i already know your name. I'm spike, Twilight's number 1 assistant." Spike says, standing proud at the name, truthfully at first i thought of slavery, thar changed when i saw the proud baby dragon, still.
"But wait....your a baby dragon?"
"Yep, except it seems i'm the only guy here who talks in ponyville, it's great to get another male around here. I can handle only so many tea parties and sleep overs."
I was about to ask why that is until a voice came from below.
"I'm back!! Spike where are you?!" I instantly knew that was Twilight calling, Spike seemed to know as well as a shocked look come's over his face."
I'm right here Twi!" Spike calls as he come's down the stairs, i couldn't see either of them now so i focused my ears to the two.
"Spike what were you doing up there? He better not be awake." Twilight asks
"Uh no i was just....checking on him! Yeah that's what i was doing! Checking on our guest"
I could almost see the rolling of the eyes of Twilight Sparkle, though it was shortlived when i hear her hoofsteps come upstairs.
"Ah your awake, well it's good to know the swelling has gone down." Twilight says, giving a look of dissapointment to Spike, who just looked away in embarressment. I didn't even think of the swelling, as the thumping in my head has all but stopped. I check my forehead to confirm what Twilight said, sure enough, the swelling has gone from big lump to little pimple. Wow Twilight's medicine works some magic.
"Well like i promised, i'll help you with living in ponyville. I'll give you a tour of ponyville and i'll introduce you to some of my friends, Applejack included." Twilight says, it did seem like a good idea, at least until i regain my memory at the time. I nod my approval as Twilight seemed to come at the same conclusion.
"Ok let's get going, Spike can you go see if Rarity needs any help?" She says, Spike seemed comepletely happy once she said "Rarity"
"Got it Twilight! Have a nice day leaved.....eh leaf!" He waves and pretty much disappears at the speed of light. I pretty much figured that Twilight wanted Spike not to be a bother, but it was fine with me. The challenge i had right now though was getting out of the bed, i was in it for a whole day and my legs were still asleep. So i take all the power i could muster just to put my hooves on the ground, after a few wobbles and a few shakes of Twilight's head i get on all four hooves.
"Ok where to first then?" I ask, placing the blankets back together before i face Twilight once again.
"Well first out of the house, then i guess we'll go to town square, that would be a good start right?"
"Yep, start from the middle and spread out. I like that"
Twilight smiles before going down the stairs, the smile catches me offgaurd, it seemed such a sweet one because of my compliment. After a few more wobbles i get downstairs, i never got a good look of the main floor until now. Bookshelves were at each wall in every direction, a small desk with some paper, a feather in an ink vile, and a stack of books in the corner. The desk faces a window that is slightly open, the sun shines perfectly through the small window, letting a good amount of sunlight into the room. There were a few cushions surrounding a small coffee table, a small flower vase on the table. There was a door leading to another room, which i guessed was the kitchen. Before i could take another look around i could hear the front door opening with Twilight stepping out.
"Coming?" She asks
"A-Ah yeah i'm coming" i say hurrying to the front door, once i get outside i close the door behind me and Twilight gestures a follow. When we kept going to a tall building which i guessed was the town hall, i kept looking around at the town i was just able to see through the window of the bedroom. It was a sight for sore eyes in the least. Ponies walked about the town in a no hurry fashion, pegasus flied above able to keep conversations up in the air. Different buildings, some looking completely extravagent, some being the same, tall building with a hay roof. Looking behind me showed the treehouse i was sleeping in, a huge tree with a balcony coming out of the right, the whole roof was branches with leaves connected everywhere, making a huge green afro, though inside it looked like an average wooden ceiling. Twilight seems to catch me looking around
"Like what you see?" Twilight asks
"Oh what? Yeah ponyville looks really nice"
It really was nice, and as ponies walked all about, even with me being with a princess and a nice looking pimple on my head they still didn't give me or twilight a second glance. It wasn't something i expected to see when i was comepletely new to ponyville and i was with a pony of many duties. I kept looking around when i noticed a pink pony cone racing towards us, the pony not taking her gaze off of me.
"Hey Twilight, who is that?" I say pointing toward the pink mare, when Twilight looks to the pony i could see her roll her eyes.
"Oh great, well brace your-"
"*gasp* yournewinponyvilleiknowbecauseimfriendswitheeeeveryponyhereandidontknowyousomustbedefinitelynewso hey i'm pinkie pie what's your name?"
I really wasn't expecting that. "Pinkie Pie" stopped right in front of me and blabbered.....well that!! As she was doing that she kept leaning towards me, making me crouch low to the ground with my ears back. By the end of it we were nose to nose.
"Pinkie! Come on give him some space" twilight says, judging how she reacted with a roll of eyes and shaking of head, she knew this was going to happen.
"Ooooh sorry!!" Pinkie says stepping back, still in personal space but better than being nose to nose, her tone didn't change one bit though, keeping with an over enthusiastic voice.
"W-Well, hi i'm Leaved Novel"
"Hi there! Could i just call you leafy?! It seems like a nice name for you what do you think huh huh!?"
"Ok pinkie, don't you have other matters to attend to" twilight says, as Pinkie was again moving a little too close for comfort.
"Oh yeah i now have to get a party set up!! Ok well see you tonight leafy be at Twilight's ok? Ok?! Ok bye bye!!" Pinkie says, me i could've sworn she was there 2 seconds ago but now she isn't.
"Well now you met pinkie pie"
"I'm sorry i have to ask, is she...you know?" I ask
"Oh no no!! She isn't. Just a very enthusiastic pony, she is pretty much Ponyville's party pony" Twilight replies
We didn't have to keep on talking, so instead we both kept towards town square. Once we got there, the town square was jam packed with ponies of many kind, talking, eating, pretty much whatever! The main building in the middle, which Twilight explained as town hall, was a huge tower pretty much, with a balcony at about mid level, a nice pointy tip at the end.
"Wow do all ponies hang out around here?" I ask, completely surprised at the sheer amount of ponies they're are.
"Yeah, most of the shops and other businesses like being in town square because of this. Look over there" she says, pointing toward a very pink building.
The building pretty much looked like a cupcake, with pink pretty much everywhere. A good look in the window would see a good amount of sweets inside, two ponies also inside
"That is sugarcube corner, Mr and Mrs. cake own the shop, Pinkie pie also works there." Twilight explains
"So that's why it reminded me of pinkie pie, unless there is another pony as extravegant like her i would've guessed them"
"Yep, i think pinkie did paint the shop"
After a quick giggle, we end up moving in another direction. Twilight showed me a few shops that would prove useful for living, some quite odd, there was a sofa and quil shop?
We end up in a huge field filled to the brim with apple trees, all reminding me of when i woke up in the middle of these fields. I already knew this is where Applejack lived, as Twilight already explained where she lived. So she doesn't talk about who were going to meet. It doesn't take long for us to come up to a small farmhouse with a barn right next to it. A familiar face with a smiling sun on the side of the barn, again Twilight didn't have to explain that it was pinkie. Right away an orange mare comes out of the farm house, a blonde mane with a cowmare hat on top. Me guessing it was Applejack, just waits as she approaches, i must've made the right move as Twilight did the same.
"I was guessing ya'll would come here sooner er later. Good to see that lump gone, barely can see it!" Applejack says, stopping in front of us.
"Well it's still there, just a little pimple now." I reply, Applejack nods in return.
"Good morning Applejack, I already told our friend here about how you found him."
"Yah good to see you again, what was with all the Haying anyway? You look'd like a mad pony" Applejack says, i went to reply until i thought of it for a second. The day seemed blurry in my mind now, the day before it was a little hard to remember but today was different. It seemed as if my point of view was almost erased, i was only able to know somepony else's that day
"Actually, i don't know. That day seems hazy to me" i reply
"Ah i get it, ya did knock you're head real good on the tree. I ain't that surprised. Well what ur name anyway? Never got it" Applejack asks
"Oh sorry, It's Leaved Novel"
"Ok well back to introducing, but we do have a problem Applejack. He seems to have amnesia, Leaf can't remember what happened before the fields. Other than finding himself awake there."
Applejack looks straight at me, she doesn't seemed shocked that i have some sort of amnesia. I could guess why.
"Well i ain that surprised! Again you slammed pretty hard into that tree! The only thing i'm surprised about is that's ALL that happened to you" Applejack replies,Thanks for the faith...
"Aaanyway it's nice to meet you Applejack" i say, trying to change the subject.
"Nice to meet ya too Leaf, hope you have a better time with the whole head issue" Applejack replies.
"Ok let's get going, we may find Rainbow flying over town."
"Ah i saw RainbowDash going towards town square, you might see her there"
"Thanks Applejack, then back to town square then leaf"
As i turn around to go back to town i could hear whispers behind me, i don't turn back around but try to listen to what they're saying. It isn't hard to hear them as they weren't quiet whisperers.
"He already met pinkie?" Applejack asks
"Yeah, i'm guessing my place tonight"
"Ok, i'll bet she'll be here anyway but thx twi for the notice. Better get the rest of these apples in the cellar."
"Your welcome Applejack, see you soon" Twilight says, turning around and catching up to me. Now the both of us trot back to the hub of ponyville.
We come back into town square, nothing has changed from what i've seen. Ponies chatting and having fun all about, nothing couldn't be better. I kept looking around as Twilight kept her eyes up in the sky. It took me a few seconds to understand what she was doing, that was when i saw a rainbow come hurling straight towards me.
"Watch Out!!!!"
Once again i found my self awoke on the ground, but this time the, what i thought was a rainbow, pony that came hurling at me laying right next to me.
"Uuuuh wow that hurt...."the pony said
"RainbowDash!! I've told you a thousand times to be careful when your in town." Twilight huffs
"heeey! Is the lump back?" i said, really trying to lighten it up. It didn't work when the pony, said to be Rainbowdash, saw my head
"Oh did i do that?" she said. That is when i actually when to feel my head, sure enough in the exact same spot
"Ah come on it just went away!"i yell, getting up on my hooves
"don't worry leaf i'd get that fix in a jiffy. But Rainbow!!! what happened?" Twilight asks as Rainbowdash gets up on her own hooves, folding her wings in.
"Well what do you think happened!! Ummmm.....I was doing some new tricks and well.....the wind shifted and i was plummeting straight down. sorry about that....uh what's your name again?" Rainbowdash asks
"Huh, oh it's Leaved Novel." I reply, judging by how many times i already have to introduce myself i'm already getting sick of it.
"Ah sorry Leaved...can i just call you leaf? Well sorry leaf......but i gotta keep training if the wonderbolts are gonna get anymore impressed of me got to run!!!" Rainbowdash says, before i could even reply she was already a good 20 yards away. My that Pegasus is fast!!
"I'm sorry leaf, that's pretty much rainbowdash. I guess you will see more of her tonight. Then let's get to Rarity's, hopefully she has Spike preoccupied enough to talk for a bit." Twilight says, and again before i could reply she was already heading off. All i could do was follow.
While we were walking through ponyville i started notice a trend as different ponies came by. None seemed to notice((or care)) that i am with a princess? We wouldn't even get a second glance, just a smile or a nod more geared to Twilight. It made me wonder how these ponies could be so normal around her but i was about to burst. Doesn't help you wake up in her bed i guess.
"Here we are" Twilight says, pulling me out of my train of thought. I end up looking up to a well decorated building, full of very elegant colors.
"Hmm looks nifty" i say, really not knowing what to say.
"This is where Rarity lives, i've already mentioned her before but she is a fashionista. This is her boutique." Twilight explains, though the place did look like a boutique. We enter anyway coming into.....
"Didn't know fashionista's could be messy!" That was an understatement. Piles of cloth, thread, and whatever else you can think of is stacked up about. Clothing scattered about the floor. Baskets layed about with even more clothes in them. I swore i actually saw a sink inside one of the piles.
"Rarity!! Are you here?!" Twilight calls, sure enough, after a few pushes from a door blocked by a cloth pile it opens. A elegant mare comes strolling out, or at least tries to be elegant. She looks at both of us before walking closer, slipping on a few gowns.
"Hello Twilight darling, and who is this?" She asks, a slight urgency in her voice. I figured she didn't like the idea of a stranger seeing her home like this.
"Hi, i'm Leaved Novel" i reply, taking a short bow before i too slip, just this time on a skirt.
"Rarity why is it such a mess? You're usually never this dirty, at least right at the front door" Twilight says
"Oh i am so terribly sorry about the mess, i have been trying to find a certain dress and i guess i got a little....carried away hehe" Rarity replies, her white cheeks turning red.
"What about Spike? Where is he?" Twilight says
"Oh Spike? He is upstairs seeing if i left it up there, i could have sworn i had it on a mannequin just yesterday! Oh i don't know where i should look" Rarity cries. I could hear the urgency in her voice, i knew i had to help in some way, but i didn't know how. So the first place that came to mind.
"Well did you check you closet?" I say, I pretty much knew i wasn't-
"Yes i- wait did i? I'll be right back" Rarity says, bolting through the door she just came from. I really had my jaw dropped when i learned that wasn't the first place she checked, Twilight picked up on it too, as her eyes were wide open.
"Wow, i don't know how you guessed that" She said
"I didn't even know if she had a closet" I reply
"Lucky guess?"
"Yep"
Before we could keep going wondering what the chances of that happening Rarity comes out from the back, moving any more of a mess out of her way, with a blue and silver dress. Stars we scattered as it seemed to be a sky in a dress. One look to my left, where twilight stood red all over, told me who it is for.
"Look twilight! I've been working on our old dresses and remaking them for this year's gala. It will look just marvelous on you!" Rarity says, quite proud in here work. Though once she takes a look at Twilight, then one at me, told her why she was blushed. I was confused and confused only. But another thing catched my attention.
"Wait what is the gala?" I ask, if i still had the slightest memory of my human life i would know exactly what it is.
"How would you not know of the gala? Everypony knows of it, it is the Grand Galloping Gala. The most elegant party in all of equestria! How could you not know?" Rarity asks, her way of saying it definitely showed her enthusiasm of the gala. Before i could answer how "I couldn't of known" Twilight goes up and whispers into Rarity's ear, this puts the eyes of the mare up. Ah so you haven't told all of your friends about me i thought. I get a few unblinking stares from Rarity before she utters a word.
"Oh my i didn't know, i hope you can get your memory back." She says, making Twilight put a hoof right on her muzzle. Guessing she didn't want her to blurt it out?
"It's not a problem, i'm having a nice time here in ponyville though" i say, assuring Twilight it's ok.
"Well hopefully this can get....tidy. We will be going now, best for last" Twilight says, and again whispers into Rarity's ear. This time i could hear.
"My place tonight, Pinkie" Twilight says, getting a stern nod from Rarity. what is going on with that? before i could finish my thought Twilight had already dragged me outside, Rarity waving her goodbye. Next thing i knew we were going to our next location.
Though whatever's going on told me otherwise.
We end walking right through the now less busy ponyville to the outskirts, i didn't fully understand why we were there but didn't question the Alicorn. She knew where she is going so why ask? We keep going until a very threatning sight comes into view, catching me totally offgaurd. It was a huge overgrown forest just peering out from the freshly cut grass. Every so often you could see a moving vine or a pair of eyes peer straight at you.
"W-We aren't going in there right?" I ask, pointing straight at it. Twilight pretty much guessed with out me pointing.
"No, that's the everfree forest, we aren't going in there anytime soon. We are going this way" Twilight assures me, not turning left onto a small pathway. After walking on this path for a bit i see where we are going. A small cottage just up the path comes into view as we climb up the next hill. All around it are small birds chirping and not too far away a few deer eating some grass.
"Ok wo you are about to meet is a little....has a little trouble talking to ponies she just met." Twilight says, pulling a curious look from me. I said nothing as we approached. Once we got to the front door she knocked right away, it takes a few moments for a small, sweet voice to come from the other side.
"W-Who is it?" Says the quiet voice
"It's Twilight Fluttershy!" She calls
After hearing that i can hear a few unlocks then the door finally opens. A mare on the other side peers out before looking straight at me. The mare's eyes widen and the door shuts loudly. Twilight next to me gives a few huffs before knocking again.
"Fluttershy! Don't worry he isn't going to hurt you, he is a friend." Twilight calls to the mare, seemingly fluttershy, once again.
"A-Are you....sure?" The pony says in again a soft voice.
"Yes" Twilight says softly. With that the door opens again, this time only a little and peers again straight at me. I try to put a smile that would at least calm the mare, though it seems to do nothing.
"Hello" i say, trying to make sure that the mare won't bolt away.
"Um....H-hi" she says, opening the door fully, but places her mane to wear it covers up half her face, then places her head so that all i can see is her long. Pink mane.
"Fluttershy, This is Leaved Novel, a friend of mine." Twilight says, it was a surprise to be called a friend. She still barely knew me, so i don'f know if it counts as being a friend in such little time. I let it go to see the matter at hand.
"it's good to meet you" i say, keeping my distance to not scare her.
"N-Nice to um...meet you too" Fluttershy says, leaving it to an awkward silence. Twilight was the first to break the silence.
"Ok well, hopefully you two can get to know eachother another time." Twilight says, quickly going up to Fluttershy and whispering in her ear. I couldn't know what she whispered but i could guess it was the same. Getting the same nod as every other time. After which we went off, even with how shy she was Fluttershy still waved a goodbye. Which both of us waved back. Heading back into ponyville.
As we were traveling back through ponyville i noticed a easy oddity. It wasn't hard to notice that there wasn't, well anypony! The square was almost abandoned and i was pretty sure it was just starting to get dark. I actually wanted to see the night life here in ponyville, see how different it is. I guessed i would have to see it another time. I kept trying to ask Twilight where everypony is, the most she would say is how would i know? Or it's not a big deal, so ponies are going home early, it's nothing to worry about. Every time my suspicion hightened when she answered like that. After a bit i kept quiet, letting whatever will happen unfold. My suspicions though never left.
It didn't take long until we were back at the treehouse, a thought came to mind when she was unlocking the door. where will i go now?
I never thought of it until now. I had nowhere to live, nowhere to sleep, nothing! It also came to mind why Twilight would bring me back to her place instead of bringing me to a hotel. I guessed she knew i had no money. But it was confusing me why she would now. Those suspicions just broke when we both stepped in and Twilight turned on the lights.
SURPRISE!!!
If that scream wasn't enough to give me a heart attack i don't know what is. Twilight opens the door and let's me step in first, i wonder why. Once i step in the jumps into a dance of light and right in front of me, at least 90% of the town crammed into the treehouse. All yelling the same thing. My reaction of springing a few feet landing on my rump seemed to satisfy them all. Though my heavy breathing didn't seem to concern them. How many times have these ponies done this. Twilight was chuckling behind me as i get up, which once i do music starts from a white mare with interesring sunglasses and all the ponies start dancing. A fimiliar pink pony comes tro-hopping towards me as the purple alicorn behind me closes the door.
"Hey! Were you surprised huh huh!! I knew i would did you see your face haha!" Pinkie says, going into what i can't figure out if it is genuine or a fake laugh.
"Ok Pinkie that's enough, that surprised scared him half to death. Though i will say your face was quite funny." Twilight says
"How would you see my face from behin- ok whatever what's going on!?" I say
"Well it's your welcoming party sugarcube" says a familiar voice from behind. I look behind me to see 3 ponies, them being Applejack, Rarity and Rainbowdash.
"Pinkie does these parties for everypony who's knew to ponyville darling. Twilight had one a few years back right here in this spot." Rarity replies, it makes my heart droop though. Even if none of the ponies Twilight greeted me to i still in the back of my mind hoped that somepony in this town would recognize me. Be able to help with my memory. Knowing this told me that nopony here would know me.
"So, this is my welcome party?" I say, getting a nice boop from behind.
"She just said that silly! Come on have fun!! Right after this is Angel's birthday party! Woohoo!" Pinkie says, hopping towards the dancefloor
"That's true leaf, we have all had one of these. So have fun! Let loose!" Rainbowdash says, yanking on my hoof to follow towards the snack stand. Using her wings she finally pulls me over, i didn't give much resistence anyway. She gives me a drink which i wrap around my hoof, when i take a sip i automatically get a strong apple taste. It lingers on my tongue leaving a delicious taste.
"Taste good huh?" Rainbowdash asks
"Yeah! What is it?" I reply
"Apple cider, applejack was able to give some for the party. It's coming up to cider season and she was able to get some early. It tastes SOO good!!" Rainbowdash answers, gulping down half the cup. I end up doing the same.
"Well sorry i was quick to leave last time, i have been doing some new tricks and i'm making A-mazing progress, i will be ready for this year's young flyer's competition. And like usual i will win" Rainbowdash says with her head high in pride. I end up taking note of this, if i'm gonna be stuck here for a bit i better get to making some friends.
"You'll have to show me sometime, unless you are over exaggerating it" i tease, though it takes a second for rainbow to respond. Her tone changes completely though. While i was expecting her to be brash and say there's no chance she did. Instead though her cheeks burn bright.
"Eh hehe, well i hold you up on that then. It'd be a lot of help for somepony to see" she says, her voice keeps low as her ears go back. It stays for a second before she goes right back to what i saw before.
"Well i'm going to the dance floor, you can come join if you want. Have fun" rainbow says before bolting away. I decide not to yet, better wait until i go and talk to some more ponies.
I end up going to twilight and rarity who were chatting toward the back. They both greet me as i come over.
"How are you dearie? Enjoying the party?" Rarity says turning toward me, which Twilight did the same.
"Yeah, Pinkie does some magic with this party. I don't know if i can last for this 'Angel's birthday"
"Oh don't worry, even pinkie won't have two parties in the same day, she knows it doesn't end well." Twilight replies
"Yes, and how are you anyway? Enjoying ponyville?" Rarity asks
"Yeah i am, it's a great place to live" i reply. Which after then us three end up chatting for a bit, the both of them telling me stories of the six of they're's adventure. I noted that the six of them have known eachother for a long time, lot longer than i expected. When i asked if they were fillyhood friends they both shook they're heads. I wouldn't of guessed.
Yet one thing nagged in my head as they told they're stories. It seemed to me that i should know all this. The battle of Discord, The crystal empire, The sonic rainboom. They all seemd like i was familiar with each of them, but couldn't remember them. I end up not worrying about it and enjoy the rest of the night.
Not long after i stepped onto the dance floor and shaked my flank did i notice all six of the ponies i met today all talking and chatting. Even fluttershy who could barely say a word earlier. Looking at them made my heart flutter. My heart envied them while, on the other hoof, my brain fought against the feeling, like i shouldn't be feeling it. But no matter how much my brain tried all it did was stop giving me the whole picture. I learned of one thing in my life before awakening in ponyville. I had no friends, no loved ones, none. A repeating life that gave me no laughs, smiles or embraces. I was alone. This made me step off of the dance floor and watch them, and what i saw made my envy strenghten. I saw a bond between them.
A bond none can break.
