Out With The Old and In With The New

Chapter V: Fitting In?

Previous Chapter

I awoke in the middle of the night as I was roused out of my sleep by some un-relaxing sounds. I was still wrapped in my sleeping back, but I moved myself into a funny curled up position. I also managed to slither my way deeper into the bag, so I was completely covered. I held my breath and listened to find out what caused that noise. I heard some more noises more clearly this time, and then I heard voices. I could make out Twilight Sparkle's voice very clearly as I had gotten used to hearing it from last night.

I quietly crawled out of the sleeping bag with my arms emerging first, then my head, then the rest of my body. Once I emerged I felt the uncomfortable feeling of the cold air assaulting my body and giving me minor goosebumps. I never liked the cold, so it just made this experience even more miserable. I stood up fully, still clothed in just pants, and wondered what time at night it was. Before I could estimate I heard some more thumping noises from upstairs followed by Twilight's voice again. I could not make out what she was saying and I was getting more curious by the second.

I knew that it was wrong to impose on people's business (or in this case pony), but the curiosity was just too great. I walked towards the stairs and stopped at the bottom, giving myself another chance to just turn around and ignore it, but I couldn't. I slowly started to ascend the stairs on the balls of my feet to be more stealthy. I alternated between feet as I moved up the stairs, my five senses very acute, and reached the top.

I heard a light *creak* as I reached the top and stopped moving to listen. I picked up more sounds and thumping, so I figured that I did not compromise my awake presence. The sounds were much louder now that I was further upstairs, and was even surprised to find that the hallway was longer. This tree looked bigger on the inside than the outside! I continued to creep down the hallway while sticking to the shadows until I came across the room that the noise was stemming from. It was slightly open, so I decided to peek in. I tried to fit my eye through, but it did not fit, so I pushed the door open slightly with my right arm careful as to not make it creak. I felt the light of the room sting my left eye as I peeked through.

A disgusting sight ravaged my soul, and from this sight I immediately knew that Equestria was not pure. I observed Twilight Sparkle getting violated by something. I moved my eye slightly to the left and observed none other than he small dragon, Spike, delivering Twilight his mating appendage. I saw Spike thrusting his mating appendage into Twilight Sparkle's vagina, it leaking some nasty fluids all the way down Twilight's perineum and eventually dropping onto the bed sheets below. I started to grow angry as I heard the wet smack of Spike's stomach colliding with Twilight's rump, but I did nothing. I nearly threw up at that sound. I continued to look, and noticed that Twilight did not appear to enjoy this little romp at all. She looked like she was crying from shame, and it stung my heart.

Spike seemed to enjoy it. He slid his organ out of Twilight and walked over to her face, but when she refused to look up, Spike lifted her head up with his right claw and used his left claw to smack Twilight across the face. Hard. I heard the wet sound of his claw slashing Twilight's cheek, but I could not see the damage done. Without an exchange of words, Spike stuck his mating appendage into Twilight's mouth as forcefully and began to quickly thrust into Twilight's mouth. It wasn't long before I could hear a squishing sound coming from Twilight's face, and I concluded that Spike just ejaculated into the poor mare's mouth with his nasty dragon seed.

Before I had a chance to throw up due to my hatred of sex, I backpedalled away from the door and creeped back down the hall. I descended the stairs rather quickly as I did not want to get caught, and jumped into my sleeping bag. I climbed back in to my former position and curled up to sleep. It wasn't long before I was once again grabbed by sleep.


My eyes snapped open and was instantly afraid that I had been awoken by noises again, and yes I was. But this time I heard Mylan's voice so I assumed that it was morning and that it would be safe to get up. I started to crawl out of my sleeping bag cave and emerge to the cold air outside. I looked around but nobody was there, but were in the kitchen. I walked/stumbled into the kitchen which was connected to the living room. When I walked in I could smell the fresh scent of blueberry waffles, and coffee; and I could see my two human friends with Twilight sitting across from them. Spike was cooking the food over the counter to the left with a smile on his face as if nothing from last night ever occurred.

"Alexius! Come and sit. We were just about to talk about helping you humans fit into pony society!" said Twilight overly-happy as if nothing ever happened. Mylan and Tony were now looking at me, bidding me to take a seat. I casually walked/stumbled over to the seat right of Twilight and sat. I looked over to Twilight who looked surprised by how close I sat next to her, but did not say anything aloud. I was very surprised that there was no large scratch across Twilight's face from last-nights event. I just blamed it on magic and left it at that.

As if on cue to my arrival, Spike brought over five plates of food on a platter and set it on the table before picking up each plate and passing them out to each of us. I looked at my food and found it too look very inviting as I was quite hungry. I picked up the fork that was on my plate and stuck it into the whole pancake before lifting the whole thing up and taking quick bites out of it. I completely ignored my cutting knife. The waffles tasted like ordinary waffles from the supermarket, but the flavor was amplified eight-fold making it very delicious.

"Hey Spike, where did you get these waffles?" I ask.

"I made them myself using homemade ingredients."

"Wow, you must know how to cook pretty well huh?"

"You know it!" said Spike before he dug into his own plate. Spike sure did seem very nice, unless it was night time and he was raping Twilght. But his generosity with cooking me food and acting nice was not enough to make me forget the horror that I saw last night.

"Alright guys," said Twilight while chewing her food. "Today we have a tight schedule. First we are going to get all of you some new clothes from the Carousel Boutique, then we are going to go to the town hall so we can get you introduced to Ponyville, then finally we are going to return to the library so we can study for the rest of the day."

I did not like the sound of being introduced to the town at all. "Twilight, what do mean that we are going to get introduced to the whole town?"

"Exactly what it sounds like. The mayor is going to introduce you to all of Ponyville's inhabitants on stage. Is there something wrong?"

"Well kind of. You see, I have this little thing called stage-fright. I get especially scared when put up against a huge crowd."

"You sound so similar to Fluttershy! But don't worry, all each of you has to do is wave and smile." finished Twilight with a flick of her hoof.

"Oh. In that case I guess it's fine." I say. I look over to my friends and then Tony begins to talk.

"Will Tyler be there too?"

"Oh yes! I almost forgot that we also have to go and pick up Tyler from Lyra's apartment so he can tag along too." says Twilight. We all continued to scarf down our food with great hunger. I picked up a coffee cup from the food platter/tray (whatever the hell it's called) and drank it all quickly. It tasted like cinnamon and apples which was amazing. When we were all done eating, Spike snatched up our empty plates and cups so he could wash them. Mylan, Tony, Twilight, and I all stood up to continue our "tight schedule".

We all walked through the living room and to the front door where Twilight unlocked the door and we all strolled out. The sun was stinging my eyes and the weather was nice and warm. There were a few ponies outside the library and a couple were sitting down on the bench next to the library. Of course they booked it once they saw Mylan, Tony, and I.

"This way guys!" said Twilight happily prompting us to follow. I did not like to do this but I took a look at Twilight's nonexistent vagina. 'I swore that she had one last night, so where is it?!' I start silently demanding. This world makes no sense, so it's best not to prod the subject any longer.

We saw many more ponies along the way to the Carousel Boutique and almost all of them ran. The ones that didn't run were the only one's that cared to notice that Princess Twilight Sparkle was walking with us. Either that or they're smart enough to know that if we wanted to kill them then we would have at least tried it by now. Hell if I know.

We soon came across the marketplace again, and there were many ponies around doing random things. My eye caught sight of Applejack, and Applejack's big eye caught sight of mine, and she looked slightly mad. It was awkward, but Twilight Sparkle broke that when she walked over to greet her friend. Applejack appeared to immediately snap out of anger and continued talking to Twilight. We just stayed back as the center of attention for the ponies, but we just ignored all of the stares. All of the attention was enough to make a person like me go insane!

"Hey Alexius." said Mylan. "Can I ask you a question and get some advice?"

"Sure, what's on your mind?" I ask.

"In case you haven't noticed yet, Applejack is my favorite pony and I believe that she is best pony."

"Yeah so? Is that why you were acting all weird two days ago when we first encountered Applejack?"

"Yes. I was so excited at the time that I completely blew any chance of being able to live on Sweet Apple Acres with Applejack. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on being able mend the wound that I created between Applejack and I." said Mylan.

Without another word I raised my hand at Mylan to signal him to remain calm and walked over to Applejack and Twilight who were still talking about something. When I got close enough I saw Applejack giving me the stink-eye.

"Yes Alexius?" Asked Twilight as she cut her conversation with Applejack short.

"I need to talk to Applejack for a short while if that is okay with both of you."

"It's fine by me!" said Twilight as she turned to leave, leaving me alone with that psycho country mare. I looked Applejack in the eyes which started to narrow the more I waited.

"Well, whayyda want?" asked Applejack in a hiss.

"I was wondering if I could ever get you to forgive my big friend over there for freaking you out the first day we were on your nice farm." I say trying to sugarcoat my words.

"You varmints ate mah apples! Your big friend almost smothered me too! How can I forgive any of ya?!" said Applejack loudly.

"Well, my big friend Mylan was wondering if he could work on your farm to make up for the damage that we made. Is that okay?"

Applejack seemed to scratch her chin with the tip of her hoof and closing her eyes to think.

"You did knock me out too, so if you ever wanted to make it up to me for that, then this is your chance. You would if you have any honor." I say.

Applejack looked at me annoyed. "Of course we Apple's have honor! Fine! I'll let your friend work on mah farm! But just because I owe you one!"

"Thanks Applejack." I say as I turn around and leave. I could hear Applejack mumbling behind me as I left her apple stand.

"Are you ready to continue Alexius?" asks Twilight.

"Yes." I say aloud.

"Then let's get going. We don't want to waste too much time." says Twilight. As we continue to walk. Mylan looks at me wanting an answer for what I just did.

"What did you do Alexius?" asks Mylan with a hint of frustration in his voice.

"Oh me? I asked Applejack to let you work on her farm to make up for all of the chaos that we caused on her farm." I say. "So I guess that you can go whenever you feel like it."

"Wow, and you persuaded her that easily?"

"Yup. All you have to do now is butter Applejack up and you'll be living among her family in no time.".

We all continued to walk until we got to the Carousel Boutique. Fluttershy was right! It was the fanciest building that I've seen in this puny little town. It even slightly resembled a carousel due to its horse designs near the top of the building. And of course it was across a bridge just like Fluttershy described. There was no need for a bridge as there was no water, so it was just one of those dumb decorative bridges.

Twilight was first to head to the door of the Carousel Boutique and knocked on the door. "Just a minute!" yelled a voice from inside from whom I assumed was Rarity. I noticed that Tony was breathing hard. Weird. When the door finally swung open, that white unicorn with the purple hair that I saw earlier was standing there. She just looked at us a little bit strangely and in disgust by what we were weaing, or in my case, not wearing.

"Hello Rarity! I brought those guests that needed clothes!" said Twilight.

"Oh dear you should have come sooner!" said Rarity as she pulled us all in with her magic making us glow blue. When we were fully inside of the Carousel Boutique, I marveled at how nice it looked. The arches leading to the staircase were designed to look like wavy flowers, there were pony mannequins sitting about the walls, wardrobes that were blending in with the pink curtains in the wall, and there were mirrors and stands everywhere.

And of course there was a white Persian-looking cat taking a catnap in a cat bed near the staircase. No fancy house is complete without a fancy looking cat. Before I could continue to admire this nice house, Rarity started talking about how horrible our clothes looked.

"You're Mylan correct?" she asks Mylan.

"Yeah."

"Well no offense, but your daisy polo shirt looks like road-kill.

"Tony I believe, your jacket looks like..... um......is that me?" she asks with wide eyes.

"ummm, no. Although now that you mention it, it does look like you," lied Tony. I couldn't blame him, how else are you supposed to explain having a jacket that looks exactly like someone else? It's just awkward.

"Okay, now Alexius. Alexius is a nice name dear." says Rarity.

"Thank you very much Rarity. Your name is nice too."

"Thank you dear. The only clothes that you have on are pants, and those look horrendous. All of you have terrible clothes that you need to replace immediately. Twilight dear, this might take awhile, so you may want to entertain yourself.".

Rarity walked over to a cherry colored vanity that she had near one of her pony mannequins. She opened one of the drawers with her blue magic aura and levitated a several full spools out. Tony instantly seemed to know what they were and feigned interest. He ran over slid to a halt in front of the vanity looking at the spools. "OOOOOH is that silk?!".

Silk? That's almost too fancy. BUt who am I to argue with a genius of the cloth?

"Of course darling! I want your new clothes to be the best. You seem to know some basics of fashion Tony! I was always in need of a good assistant to help me with making clothes, but I was never able to get one except for my sister Sweetie Belle. She was never very good, so maybe you could become my new assistant. Interested?"

"Am I!" said Tony excitedly.

"Then you can come back to my boutique anytime you would like so we can begin. Now I must take measurements of each of you so I may make your clothes, so come step up on my measuring station." said Rarity as she pointed at the station. I walked over first so I could get measured. Rarity followed me over and pulled out a roll of measuring tape to get my lengths. First she measured my legs, then my torso up to my head, then the length of my arms. She finally measured the circumference of my waist, which did not feel comfortable because the cold metal was rubbing up against my bare skin.

"Alright Alexius, you're done."

"Thank you Rarity. You must be very generous to waist precious silk on us."

"You have no idea darling!" Rarity says with a smile.

After my measurements I went to go sit down on Rarity's couch and just watch. Eventually I became tired and almost fell asleep from how tired I was. I looked over to Twilight who was laying on Rarity's floor twiddling her hooves probably thinking about last night. I shuddered at that memory and was surprised at just how easily I forgot about that nastiness. Eventually Rarity got Mylan's height which was kind of funny because she would have to use more silk to create his clothes. Much more silk.

Eventually Rarity was done taking measurements and bid us farewell as Twilight lead the way out the door. "I'll have your new clothes done for you boys done by the end of the day free of charge!"

"Thank you Rarity! I really appreciate it!" yelled Twilight.

"Thank you!" We all yelled as we left which reminded me of when I was a kid always getting forced to say thank you to people. Once Rarity closed her door and we were moving on, I asked Twilight where we were going next.

"Twilight, where to next?"

"Now I think that we should get Tyler to join us so we can do the introduction to the town. You all go ahead and find the town hall while I retrieve Tyler." said Twilight while leaving without saying another word. Then she called out, "IT's the big building with a spire!"

It did not matter what she said because my two brony friends probably knew exactly what it looked like. "Where is it anyway?" I ask.

"I think that it's this way. Well know when we see it." said Mylan.


And so we walked. We were getting hungry again, but there was no time to dilly dally. Besides, the ponies wouldn't sell us anything anyway. They were all too scared. There were ponies wandering on the streets every now and then but none of them stood around too long after taking a good look at us.

We eventually came across the town hall, and Mylan gave me the heads up. It was quite large and circular, There was a medium sized stage near the entrance to the town hall with a big banner stretching above reading: "Come and meet Ponyville's first Humans!" in big red text that was all capital letters. Unsurprisingly, there was nopony waiting for it, only one grey pegasus with blonde hair sitting next to a red paint bucket besides the stage.

We all continued our stroll to the front door to the town hall and walked in to encounter a mare with glasses reading a book. She shot up when she saw us and looked like she wanted nothing to do with us. "The Mayor is upstairs through the very last door."

"Thank you." I say as I walk upstairs with Tony and Mylan following. It was a chore walking up those stairs, but we finally reached the door and walked in. The mayor was sitting behind a desk cluttered with paper, and by the looks of her nameplate, her name was Mayor Mare. She had a grey mane and wore a collar with a tuft of green fur on it. Her eyes were blue and she wore glasses which made her look more intelligent.

Mayor Mare looked up and sighed. "Looks like your little presentation is off humans. It was a flop as nopony showed up you see, so I suggest you leave my office and find something else to do."

We were all taken aback by her mood and tone, and decided to leave without another word. My friends looked like they did not want to present, and I certainly did not want to do to my stage fright. So we left. We walked back down the stairs in a slump. We did not want to argue with a rude mayor whose name was Mayor Mare.

"What should we tell Twilight?" asked Tony.

"Let's just tell her that it is off and hopefully she stay calm. If she gets mad then we could just tell her that we would be happy to study again. That would certainly bring her spirits up!" said Mylan.

We all started to talk once we reached the outside about what we were planning to do.

"I think that I am going to go straight to Applejack's farm after this. I don't want to learn about Equestria because I already know pretty much everything." said Mylan.

"And I think that I will be going to Rarity's afterwards to spend time with her. She is my favorite pony after all!" said Tony.

"That's a no-brainer." I say.

"What about you Alexius? what do you plan to do?" asks Tony in a sassy voice.

"I guess I'll just stay with Twilight. It's not like I have anything else to do. Learning about Equestria will we a good thing for me."

We all turned our heads to an approaching Twilight and Tyler once we heard footsteps. "Were back! Where is everypony?"

"The thing is off Twilight." I say with a swish of my hands. Nopony was interested in meeting us, but would rather just avoid us."

"That can't be! I spent at least two hours trying to arrange this meeting, and now it's all off?! I could have spent that time doing something useful!!' yelled Twilight angrily. She then started to stomp towards the town hall to have a word, but Mylan stopped her with his leg.

"No need Twilight, we didn't want to do this anyway. We discussed it ourselves. "

"To be honest, I didn't want to do it either." said Tyler.

Twilight spun around and looked suspiciously at us half lidded. "But why?"

"I'm afraid, Mylan and Tony don't care for it and neither does Tyler apparently. Speaking of Tyler, how has Lyra been treating you?" I say.

"It's been great..." said Tyler with a blush.

'OH...MY...GAWD. Tyler didn't. Very well, I will have to deal with this later. I could be wrong, but damn, he better hope so.'

"Fine boys, we'll just go home and study some more." says Twilight a little more happily.

"I don't think so Twilight." said Mylan. "I plan to head to Applejack's to make up for the damage we caused.

"Oh, well that is very responsible of you! Come alo-"

"I think I'll be heading to Rarity's so I can learn about making clothes. I'll even deliver the clothes she made to you guys later." said Tony. The making clothes part was an obvious lie.

"Then I guess it is just me and Alexius then. You can come along too if you would like to Tyler."

"Not to be rude, but nah." said Tyler. It was still rude in my eyes.

"Very well then. Farewell. I guess I will see you all later then." said Twilight.

They all went there separate ways with a bye. I waved back at them and so did Twilight. I guess now I had to deal with pony discrimination on my own now. Twilight and I turned to leave, and I thought to myself. I hope Mylan is okay at Applejack's farm, and that Tony doesn't become too creepy around Rarity. Tyler obviously did something with Lyra, and I had a creeping suspicion of what it was. I decided to ask Twilight about him.

"So Twilight, what was the deal with Tyler. He wasn't too hard to find was he?"

"Not at all. It seems that Bonbon kicked Lyra out of her apartment and sent her and Tyler out on their own, so I had to go and find their new apartment at an inn." said Twilight.

"And what inn might that be?" I asked.

"It was the Green Leaf Inn, but they don't plan to stay there for long as it is just a temporary living space."

"I'll keep that in mind..." I say.


Twilight and I eventually arrived back at the library and we both slumped down on the couch, tired from such a pointless trip. Spike was nowhere to be found, but there was an owl sitting up on one of the bookshelves. It looked at me funny, but then it lost interest and fell asleep.

"That's my owl, Owlicious. Both he and Spike act as my apprentices and help around the library."

"You trained your owl to do chores?" I ask amazed.

"Well, he was already quite trained, I just introduced him to my library and the rest is history. But enough about Owlicious, it is time to study about the many other races inside and outside of Equestria."

"Oh boy." I say. "Race war!"

"What was that?"

"Nothing."


I learned that there were many other races in Equestria. Some were intimidating and others not so much. There were minotaurs, changelings, dragons, donkeys, buffalo, zebra, breezies, cows?!, diamond dogs, gremlins, gargoyles, centaurs, and the list goes on. Dragons were obvious due to Spike's presence. Changelings were weird insectoids that stole emotions and lived in a hive much like the aliens from AVP. Breezies were little insect ponies that used the wind to use magic and travel around. One race that caught my attention were the griphons. I always thought griphons were cool creatures, but now they're real?! According to Twilight, the tribes of griphons in the mountains are to be avoided at all times.

Twilight also taught me about the draconequus, but there was only one draconequus to knowledge. That was the master of Chaos himself, Discord. She taught me about what he could accomplish with his magic, and how he was reformed by none other than Fluttershy herself. Unfortunately he left and now lives in Canterlot castle. I definitely would not mind having his powers.

Now that my lesson was over, Twilight said that I could do whatever I wanted for the rest of the day, so I decided to put the rest of the day to investigate that little scene I witnessed last night. Perhaps Twilight had a diary, and maybe she writes about that kind of experience all the time. It certainly could not be the first time right?

"Hey Twilight, can I use the restroom?" I ask.

Twilight looked up from her book while lying on the couch. "Of course. It is the first door to your left upstairs."

'Perfect'

I leave without another word and head upstairs to the bathroom. In truth I really needed to use the bathroom. It would be the first time ever since I arrived in Equestria. So I used the bathroom and washed my hands with some fruity smelling soap. I had to plan the next part out carefully so I would not get caught. Spike was most likely somewhere upstairs, so I had to be quiet.

I pulled off my shoes but left off my socks so I could be sneaky. I slowly opened the bathroom door, happy to say that there was no creaking, and took soft steps down the hall. I remembered that the room from last night was the third door on the left. I slowly creeped further down the hall until I reached the door. I slowly pushed the door open to make sure Spike wasn't in there and was relieved to see nothing moving around. I pushed the door open enough so I could slide in and I did quietly like an amateur ninja. Once inside, I noticed that the room was very bland. I walked over to the bed and lifted the blanket, and saw a bunch of stain marks from none other than the dragon himself. It almost made me throw up, but I swallowed it and looked around for a diary.

I tried the the vanity's droors, but nothing came up. I then looked underneath the bed, but there was nothing there but empty carpet. I tried out the pillow and underneath the pillow, but there was still nothing.

'Maybe she doesn't have one?'

I looked over to the curtains and the window and saw something behind them blocking out the sunlight coming in. Before I was able to get close enough to check, I heard footsteps coming down the hall. I immediately leaped and did a roll underneath Twilight's bed. The door to the bedroom opened all the way and Twilight walked in. I held my breath and did not move until Twilight left. She carried something out with her, and I hoped that it wasn't the diary. Once the door was shut all the way, I rolled out and got up silently, and looked towards my goal. It was still there to my relief, so I pulled it out from behind the red curtain and went back under the bed with it so I would not get caught.

The front of the book read, "Twilight Sparkle's Diary". I opened to the latest entry, which just so happened to be from last night. and so it read:

Whatever the date was, I did not understand the Equestrian calendar

Today I was unsurprisingly taken advantage of Spike again. I should just stop talking about that because I hate to think about it. This night he sliced my face, and I had to heal it with some special elixir that I purchased from Zecora many weeks ago. I don't know how long it will be before I finally snap at Spike, but I can feel it coming. In better new, the humans that I recovered yesterday have finally awoken and I decided to take in three of them to teach. Lyra the unicorn stopped by and took one of them off of my hands. Tomorrow I will try and introduce them to the town, and maybe ponies will stop being such xenophobes afterwards. One can only hope.

I closed the diary. So Spike really was doing this against Twilight's will? I did not like sex in general, but when it is forced, I become very angry. I rolled out as quickly as I could and put the diary back where it was supposed to be. I moved over to the door to leave as quickly as possible. Luckily, nothing was in the hallway when I departed. Twilight will have to be avenged for this.
