Ummm. . . Rainbow Dash?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterAuthor's Note
After some revision, All of Andy's thoughts from here on out will be italicized. I'm also going to try using font color to distinguish between Andy's dialogue and each of the ponies, but I need you'r feedback to see if it is a good idea or not. I hope you all enjoy this next installment of 'This is Where I Belong'.
Ummm. . . Rainbow Dash?
"Oh God, I'm Naked!" I could feel everyponie's eyes staring me down. "Fuck, why won't they look away? Don't they know this is embarrassing?!? I looked everywhere around the room for something to cover myself with and decided on using a nearby basked of apples. (a gift from applejack I assume.)
?OOoooh lookie. He's more red than those apples!" squealed PinkiePie as she tried to stifle her giggles.
"Now what're you goin' and gettin' all embarrassed for?"
"I'm Naked!" I shot back."I can't walk around ponyville like this!" Each of the ponies looked at me as if I was some type of alien, (well, I guess I am an alien to them. But this was for a different reason entirely.)
"Why not darling? We don't have any social events to attend. You're perfectly fine without a suit. beamed Rarity.
"Oh yeah! I remembered Ponies don't usually wear any clothing unless they're going somewhere important. However, there is no way I will walk around ponyville with 'Mr Johnson and the Juice Crew' flopping everywhere. I will need some clothes.
" Besides, I think I like the way you look.Ya wouldn't want to cover all that up with stupid old clothes." came a voice from a midst the sea of confused ponies. "Oh no, not. . "
"Hi, the name's Rainbow Dash. I like the way you're put together." she said in a voice I can best describe as a 'The Most Interesting Man in the Universe' Impression. (yes everyone. RD will forever be trying to get it with Andy. It's horrifying, and I'm scared to write it, but I flipped a coin and that's the way I'm taking this story.) " What do ya say we go hangout at my house?" as she spoke I could see her wings get visibly erect, and with each word she leaned in close to me and gave a brief definition of what she was really after "We can watch some T.V (let's buck), we could race (buck me on the table), hang out with some friends (buck me while Gilda watches, or we could go visit Scootaloo (visit Scootaloo)" (What? I'm not a monster, she's just a philly) As much as I was terrified of the idea, this was the first time in my life and female (regardless of species) ever showed any attraction to me, I couldn't help what happened next.
As Rainbow Dash continued her long list of various ways we could buck, the pile of apples I was currently holding at my crotch simultaneously toppled over, (as if something had pushed them. . . get it?. . get it? ya you get it.)
"Oooh, are you about to cast a spell?" twilight beamed, oblivious to the activities Rainbow Dash is suggesting. I looked down and noticed what had just happened.
"Aaaaahhhh!" I screamed. I searched desperately around the room for something more solid to cover myself with. As my eyes darted across the room, I noticed that nothing was near. It's as if somepony purposely moved everything out of the way. There was only one thing I could use to cover myself up with.
"Sorry about this RD." I said through clenched teeth as I grabbed the pony by the sides and placed her directly in front of my problem.
"Oh. . I don't mind one bit." she said quietly in my direction.
"Oh no, how did I let myself get excited like that? I barely even know them in person." My thoughts went instantly to my latest issue of 'HoofBeat' magazine under my bed at home. Of course as soon as I did, I felt him wake up even more.
"Eeep" RD let out with a happy squeal.
(DISCLAIMER: Andy is holding RD Sideways against his groin. There is in no way any form of penetration. . . yet.) I had to think of something fast, before this pony gets any more ideas.
"Hey Applejack, tell me more about your family." I said, very careful not to address the specific name of who I wanted to hear about. Sure enough though, she started perfectly.
"They're all fine mostly. Granny Smith's bunions are flarin' up again. And she's got these sores as big as apples. . . " she continued. Sure enough, the thought of Granny Smith soothed my problem almost instantly. "Thank God!" I thought.
"Damnit AppleJack. You always ruin the fun". RD mumbled under her breath as she walked away. I bent over and retrieved the basket of apples that had fallen and used it to cover up my (less noticeable) businiess.
"Do any of you girls happen to know where I could get a hospital gown?"
Fluttershy shot upright almost instantly "I'll get it!" she yelled as she evacuated the room. Poor thing, she must have been extremely uncomfortable during that situation. I took this awkward moment to try and get some questions answered.
"Um, excuse me, girls? Sorry to have to ask this, but where am I?" I knew the answer, I just needed to hear it from someone else to be 100% sure that I'm not completely crazy.
"You're in Ponyville Hospital silly." Twilight began "You're lucky we got you here when we did, you could have been really injured if Apple Jack hadn't found you." There you go, I'm definitely not crazy. I am in Equestria talking to the mane six.
"Alright, now why aren't any of you afraid of me?" (besides Fluttershy of course) "I mean, none of you seem scared at all."
"Should we be scared? You don't look very scary. You actually seem kind of nice. You're definitely bigger than anypony I've ever seen, but I wouldn't say you're scary. Just. . different." Twilight said with the sweetest and most understanding voice I have ever heard. I almost felt like crying. All those years of being ridiculed for being myself by people who don't even know me, and here I am surrounded by six complete strangers who are the nicest people (ponies) I've ever known. Maybe I actually am in Heaven. Did those pills really work? With that thought, all of those emotions that I was feeling before I came to this strange land came flooding back. In a wave of tears I laid back down onto the bed and began sobbing uncontrollably.
"Oh no. please don't cry. yelled out Pinkie Pie, "You're going to make me start crying too." I could hear her voice start to shake as she said that last sentence. Her eyes began to quiver as I looked to all the other ponies. What I saw made me heart break even more than it already was.
Each and everyone of the ponies were crying uncontrollably. This didn't make any sense, were they mocking me? Maybe these ponies were just trying to mess with me.
"Why are you all crying?" I asked between tears.
"You're our friend, and you're sad. That makes us feel bad." Twilight explained.
Is this possible? Can someone be such a true friend that seeing another friend in pain causes them to feel bad as well? Seeing this display of affection in front of me warmed my heart enough to allow me to stop crying. It took the girls a couple more minutes to calm down, so I waited patiently for the tears to stop. Once they did, the girls had their own questions for me.
"Why were you crying dear? asked Rarity with a genuine look of concern on her face. I looked to all of the sweet faces before me and realized that each one of these ponies had such a pure innocence that I would hate to introduce so much pain into this world by describing why I'm such a wreck.
"I'm sorry, but I can't talk about it right now." I said with an emotionless tone. I was afraid that they would pry further into the question and demand details, but they did the exact opposite. They simply sat there with the same concerned look on their face in complete silence. We sat that way for a good five minutes before Apple Jack decided to speak up.
"Well I sure am glad you're alright now. Don't you worry, we won't let nothin' bad happen to ya."
My eyes swelled up with tears once more, but this time it was out of happiness. I turned away so the girls couldn't see me cry. (I would hate to start up the waterworks again.) As the last of the tears left my face, I turned back just in time to see Fluttershy enter the room carying what looked like twenty hospital gowns.
"Here you go, they're kind of small so I got as many as I could." she said while panting from the obvious strain of carrying the massive ball of gowns.
"Thank you Fluttershy, that was very kind of you." I said with a smile. "I think I'm ready to leave now."
I stood up and began tying the wad of gowns into a makeshift toga. It wasn't pretty, but it was functional.
"Oh Goodness, what on Equestria is that you made?!? cried out Rarity at the obvious atrocity I had assembled. "No no no, this simply won't do." As she spoke, her horn began to glow and the gowns covering my body began to change shape. I could feel certain areas tighten around my body as the fabric was stretched and pulled. After about 30 seconds of this, the fabric stopped moving. I definitely felt more covered, but I still had no idea what Rarity had done.
"How do I look?" I asked the girls. I got my answer in the form of Rainbow Dash's wings shooting upright almost immediately.
"Hey. . let's go race."
