Scaling Love
"Barb....Who and what is that creature with you?"
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSilence. Our journey to Ponyville was silent, both of us didn't dare say anything. I sometimes took a small peer to the human next to me. He had worry planted on his face, his eyes closed and his breathing was slightly faster. I took a guess that he might be afraid of what is to come. There was only one way of knowing....
"Mike....Are you afraid?" I asked him quickly turning my face back to the front.
"Of what?" He asked.
"Of what to expect in Ponyville" I told him. I heard him sigh before he answered.
"Yea....I am actually" I heard him reply. 'Knew it'
"Don't worry. Everypony in Ponyville is friendly" I told him, hoping that he would relax a bit.
"Yea, well, have they seen anything like me before? How would they know if I won't take over the entire town or something?!" He replied. I sighed before stopping in my tracks to face him.
"I can just tell them that you mean no harm. Besides, I trust you to not be a total jerk" I replied back. He stopped for a moment, facing me. We both just stared at each other forgetting about anything that was around us. After a moment, Mike shook his head before giving me a warm smile.
"Thanks. You're really good friend, you know that?" He said, before continuing on down the path towards Ponyville. I stood there for a moment, looking at him walking slowly, paying close attention to what he said. After a while, I shook my head, ran so I caught up to him and gave him a slime back before facing forward.
'Heh. Cool new friend ya got there. Keep it up girl! I can tell this friendship of yours will last a long time' I heard my conscious cheer for me in the back of my head, making me smile a tad bit more.
'I hope I'm right on this one. It would be a shame if this friendship would sink faster than the titanic' I thought to myself.
'Nah! With a friend a like him? I don't think so' I heard my conscious reply back.
I gave a small giggle, in which Mike, from the corner of my eye, gave me a weird look. 'I hope so, me. I hope so'
"And let me be the first to welcome you to Ponyville!" I said to him in a slightly excited tone. I saw his eyes bulge out a bit at the sight of the different ponies with their daily lives. It was just slightly past lunch, so most of the ponies were on their lunch break, most of which are heading towards Lyra and BonBon's cafe.
"Wow Barb, when you said there are different kinds of ponies here in Ponyville, you weren't kidding!" I heard him reply with a slight laugh. I giggle before grabbing his arm, tugging him towards the first place I know he would like.
Sugarcube Corner
His knack for having a sweet tooth gave me the idea of taking him to Sugarcube Corner in the first place. I just hope he is able to keep up with Pinkie Pie. Because as everypony in Ponyville knows, it's that no pony is able to keep up with that girl.
I pointed at some of the things that were happening around the town such as, the busy marketplace where everypony gets their freshly picked vegetables from. Then, there was the school where all the fillies and colts go to study. While walking towards our destination, he also heard some heavy bass that was playing. I replied to him that Equestria's famous DJ lived here and the bass sound is probably the music she listens to, 'Wubstep'.
As we passed by Lyra and BonBon's cafe, I heard some faint whispers from the background. From the corner of my left eye, I could faintly see a couple of mare's whispering at each other, probably due to Mark being here. Normally, I wouldn't care, but there was a small phrase that caught my attention.
".....he looks quite cute actually" I heard one of them say. It was faint, yes, but I heard it nonetheless. We kept walking on, minding the faint comments that is for Mike.
=PoV change: Michael. 1st person=
This place is amazing! From the architecture to the ponies themselves. Each individual pony was different from another. From the color of their fur, their hair (Barb says that they call it 'Mane'. However, I would rather stick to saying hair), to the fact that they were either a Unicorn, a Pegasus or a regular Earth Pony. However, with all this excitement dwelling inside of me, I promised Barb that I would behave and not be an asshole to anypony here.
As we kept walking, I saw, from the corner of my eye, a pair of earth pony mares looking at me. 'Barb said nothing of me having a bit of fun' I thought to myself before face the pair briefly. "Ladies" I said to them in my best gentleman voice, nodding my head slightly. They probably didn't expect it at all since their faces flushed pink. When the two left my sight, I heard cute giggles from behind. I smirked slightly. 'Heh. Too easy, I say' I thought.
"Well, here we are! Sugarcube Corner!" I heard Barb say out loud. I looked towards the building that was now in front of us.
I tell ya, if Barb didn't say it was made of bricks and cement with wooden tiles inside, I may have started trying to eat the entire thing. I mean! It looked like a freaking gingerbread house! The roof was even painted to look as if it had icing!
Anyways, I kept on looking at the building amazed, up until Barb waved a hand in front of me, causing me to shake my head and look at her with a slight blush. She laughed slightly before tugging at my arm, pulling me inside the bakery. Once inside, I was assaulted by the many wonderful fragrances of the different pastries. There were donuts, bagels, cakes, muffins, pies, cupcakes and other sweet and yummy goodness that was probably not good for my overall health.
"Hi Barb! What brings you to-" I heard someone say before I heard a gasp. I looked towards the counter to see a really pink pony with a pink oven. Seriously! She is all pink! Her fur color is pink, her hair and tail is a slightly darker shade of pink. I swear, if her name isn't Pinkie, I'd probably be really surprised.
"Hi Pinkie!" Called it. Fucking called it! "I hope you don't mind me bringing a new friend" I heard Barb say from behind me. This caused the pink pony to suddenly disappear, leaving a dust cloud the shape of her, in her place. A moment later, she suddenly appeared from the kitchen, her apron now gone, showing that she was wearing a pink blouse with a yellow trip on the shoulders and a light blue skirt with a small picture of a couple of balloons at the sides.
"Hithereimpinkamenadianepieandwelcometoponyville!Whoareyouandwhatsyourname?Oh!DoyoulikecupcakesbecauseIlovecupcakes!Doyoulikeparties?Huh?!Doyadoyadoya?!" I heard the pink pony say in a speed roughly to a thousand miles per second.
"Wha-What?" I asked, slightly scared. I took a couple of steps back, to which she also took a couple of steps forward, still with that huge grin on her face.
"Pinkie! You're scaring him!" I heard Barb yell out loud. 'Thank you Barb! I owe you one' I thought to myself.
The pink pony grinned sheepishly before saying, "Sorry! I got a bit carried away. Anyways, my names Pinkamena Diane Pie but everypony here calls me Pinkie Pie! Who are you? Not to mention, what are you?" I heard Pinkie ask, in a more slower speed.
I smiled. "It's fine Pinkie. You're just probably excited in seeing something like me. Anyways, the names Micheal Lorenz but you can call me Mike for short. As for what I am, I am what you can call human" I replied. She gave a look of utter confusion.
"A hue-mane? What's that? Can I eat it?" Pinkie asked. I laughed before replying.
"No Pinkie, it's pronounced human. H-U-M-A-N. And for what it is, it's the formal word of calling my species. And no, you can't eat it. I'm not from this world, as you can tell" I told her with a slight smile. Her eyes sparkled for second before I heard her ask.
"Are you an alien?" she asked with a soft tone, her eyes still staring deep into my soul.
"In a sense, yes Pinkie, I am an alien" I replied. That was when she exploded, not literally though.
"Cool! I have an alien friend!" she then stopped in mid air before asking, "Are you though?"
I stared at her for a moment, wanting to ask how she was able to stop in mid air without any help. I shook my head before replying, "Yes Pinkie".
She then proceeded to fall back down to the floor slowly, grinning from ear to ear. I laughed at her silly antics, Barb joining in the laughter from behind. However, we stopped laughing when we heard the door open violently, revealing 5 mares. Two of them being Unicorns, another two being Pegasi, and one of them being a regular Earth Pony. There was a deafening silence in the room. It was only then broken by the purple unicorn.
"Barb....Who and what is that creature with you?" she said.
'Shit. Welp, I'm screwed' I thought to myself.
Author's Note
Erm slight question. Is the mare's name spelled as 'BonBon' or as 'Bonbon'? Cos I'm not too sure
Next, I know that 'Wubstep' is unoriginal, but that was the first thing that came to my head.
Anyways, I hope you all like this chapter! See ya guys and gals in the next chapter!
