Chapter 4: Getting to Know Each Other

It all came to me very slowly when I came too. I opened my eyes to only find that I was only able to see through my left eye. I felt a pang of fear worrying for the worse until I blinked a few times and felt my right eye's eyelashes brush against something soft. I soon realized that there was something tied around my head to no doubt cover whatever wounds I received from today's previous wrath. The first thing to see was the chandelier above me which was illuminating a bright light that took awhile for my eyes to adjust to. Once adjusted I saw that there was a single large red bow right in the corner of my eye. Turning my head I saw the teal haired girl crying with her face in my left arm. It could be easily seen that she had been crying for some time just from the look of face which was now a bright shade of pink and how the carpet where my arm lay was soaked.

"I'm so sorry, please just please wake up," She choked out as another wave of tears came rolling by.

I couldn't take the sadness any longer. Taking my right hand, I slowly placed it on top of her head and gently began stroking her hair. Her body shuddered from being startled by the sudden feeling but soon relaxed with every stroke which helped to calm her. Eventually the sobbing ended and be both laid there on the floor in silence.

Minutes passed and we were still there lying in silence. Funny that I was lying with the girl who only hours ago knocked me out cold with a single in pure anger and now was just lying there hoping that I would be alright. For some reason this didn't feel awkward for me at all but rather seemed nice. I can't remember when was the last time I had laid next to a girl besides Cheryl. Suddenly remembering her name sent a sudden chill throughout my body and so I decided to try to block the name out of my mind for the time being. Seeing that she did whatever she could to help me from whatever damage my head sustained I decided to thank her.

"Um, thanks for patching up my head." I muttered

She lifted her head to look at me, her pink eyes were bloodshot and her once perfectly styled hair was now in a mess. She sniffed a few times before answering.

"Your not angry with me?"

"No, I'm kinds more surprised that you were able to hit me like that."

She gave no reply and only hung her head down.

"Hey it's no big deal, I'll just call up my friend to patch me up tomorrow." I said sympathetically

It didn't seem to help as she looked back up at me, eyes full of tears.

"Why are you treating this like no big deal," she said raising her hands "You were bleeding so much and I was so afraid that you were going to die," "I kept on trying to wake you by shaking you but your body just went limp and whenever I tried yelling for you to wake up you didn't budge." "And you just kept on bleeding throughout it all." "I may have been able to stop the bleeding but you have no idea how much there was!"

I was in shock in her sudden outburst but I followed the movements of her hands and was shocked to see the condition they were in. Both her hands were covered in dry blood, my blood. I suddenly felt terrible knowing that this was all my fault. I had taken her to a place where she has never been and obviously scared her which caused her to punch me in self defense. Then she stayed with me and tried for god knows how long to stop my head from bleeding. I just continued to stare at the hands though as if they were just reminding me over and over again that all this was my fault.

With that she collapsed on my arm and began to cry once again muttering to herself how stupid she was and that this was all her fault. As for myself I dealt beyond guilty now as I saw the girl cry heavily right in front of me. I got up slowly, ignoring the thumping in my head. I got close to sit next to her and soon embraced her.

"It's not your fault, it's obvious that you are scarred and confused right now and whatever you did was out of fear for your own safety." "There's no need to feel guilty for any of this, you had no power in what recent events just occurred which landed you into this position." " Just please stop crying and worrying for me when you should be thinking of yourself right now." "And if it helps, I forgive you. I just hope you can forgive me for putting you through all of this."

The only sounds that were heard in the silence that followed were the low somber cries and the clock ticking.

"Thank you." She said looking up and smiling

I smiled back at her just staring at he beautiful pink eyes while she looked back at mine. We suddenly blushed from not realizing what we were doing and turned our heads away in embarrassment.

"You must be hungry, you want to go down to the kitchen with me and get a bite to eat?"

"Sure, that sounds nice."

I got to my feet and turned around to help her get to her feet. What I saw left my face in a completely new shad of red. Quickly I turned back around.

"WHY AREN'T WEARING ANY CLOTHES?" I quickly asked

"Well I didn't think I would need to since I've nobody that I know of wears them everyday." she responded dumbfounded at my question.

"WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE DO YOU HANG AROUND WITH?" "You know what never mind just go into the shower and clean yourself up." I said pointing to the bathroom.

"Huh?"

"Oh for the love of-" I turned around to picked her up and then ran as quickly as I could to the bathroom. Once she was down I pointed to the shower.

"Ok just use that to wash off the blood and I'll come back with some clothes." with that said I sped off to parents room. Once in I went to my mothers dresser and pulled out a sleeping gown and a pair of undergarments. Walking back to the bathroom I could already see the steam from the hot water escape through the bottom of the door. I gave the door a quick knock to tell that I was here.

"Hey I got your clothes ready, I'll just leave em here for y-." I wasn't even able to finish the sentence as the door suddenly flew open and I felt someone tackle me down. I looked up to see her now wrapped in a towel (thank goodness) and grinning ear to ear.

"I don't know what magic you people are using but how is it that that contraption can just produce hot water without the need of anything to heat the water?" She asked with both childlike  excitement and curiosity.

"Uh technology." I said as it was all say due to being surprised by her question on how the shower worked.

"That doesn't seemed to explain much."

"Whatever, just get dress and meet me in the kitchen. I'll get the food ready." with that she got off me and proceeded to grab the clothes and go back into the bathroom.

"What's wrong with that girl?" I muttered to myself. Oh well a bunch of weird crap has been going on lately, mine as well just ignore most of it. Walking into the kitchen, I flicked the lights on and opened the fridge. Only things in there was a box of leftover pizza, a salad, bottles of water, and some fruit. It want much to work with but I decided to make the most of it. Grabbing out two plates I placed some fruits and salad on them. I took out two slices of the cheese pizza and stuffed them into the microwave to warm them up for us.

A couple of seconds later I pulled them out and placed them on our plates. Setting them down on the dinner table, I went back to grab some cups for the water. I was pouring the water when suddenly I heard a deep girdling sound. I turned my head to the entrance of the kitchen to find that the girl (now fully dressed) blushing and clutching her stomach.

"Come and sit down, the food is all ready," motioning her to come in.

Like lightning she ran to her seat and already began eating the fruits and salad. I stood there wide mouthed at how fast she was eating her food. She sure was hungry.

"I can see that you hungry but you should slow down before you choke."

"Mm hmm." she muttered through her full mouth

Once I saw that she had slowed down on eating her food I decided that I should start eating as well so I took my seat across from her and began at my plate. We both at in silence for some time  just eating our food. It was this time that I didn't know her name or for any matter anything about her so I decided to start a conversation.

"I don't seem to have caught your name." I asked looking up to her.

After taking another sip of her drink she place her cup down and replied with the most strangest name I have ever heard on the face of the Earth.

"Oh, well my name is Flitter. What's yours?"

I couldn't believe what I had just heard. She actually named herself after a background pony in the My Little Pony series. I just face palmed my face and looked back up at her.

"Ok is that like a nickname or something because I know for one that that name is not your real name."

"Hey I wouldn't just tell you that if it wasn't my real name ok, Flitter is my name, now what's yours?" She stated, her face turning serious.

"Ok Well, my name is Drew."

"Drew? That sounds like an unusual name."

"Unusual to where?"

"The place that I'm from, Equestria."

That's it, I can't take this insanity any longer I thought. First the strange color spectrum, then the naked chick, being knocked out and having an unknown head wound, then hearing that she's from Equestria? What's next, finding out that the sky is gonna turn pink and rain chocolate milk?! I just slouched in my seat and rubbed my temples to try to keep my head from exploding from all the information that I was receiving and from the massive headache I was feeling. Looking at her I could tell that she was being serious. When she was talking about her name or where she was from, she would get a kind of stern look in her eyes like when your parents ordered you not to do or touch something.

"So just out of curiosity are you like some kind of hardcore pegasister or something?"

She looked up from her food to only give me a confused look.

"I don't know what a pegasister is but I can tell you that I was once a pegasus and that I do have a sister.

"Ok this is getting crazy, how are you a pegasus? You are human, look you have no wings and no hooves, you can't be whatever you claim to be. Oh and the name too ,god just pure gold right there, choosing a name after a background pony. Hell you even went all out just to get her hair style, you have the bow and everything!" I closed my eyes and sighed in relief finally being able to get all that out. When I opened my eyes though I saw that her eyes we're now filled with the same fury which she had when she punched me. I couldn't help but twitch remembering how much power she had in that punch.

"Are you saying you don't believe me?" she asked giving me a quizzical look.

"Actually I don't know what to believe anymore after all the crazy stuff that has happened to me in a day."

"Then what do you need to see to believe me?"

"I don't know this day has been full of surprises that I just haven't believed in until today. Hell I guess showing you cutie mark would help but oh wait your not a pony and so can't have a cutie mark."

I guess I made her snap because she immediately stood up and glared at me. I didn't waste a single second in taking my arms to cover my face and closing my eyes shut, waiting for her to unleash her fury upon me. I waited for some time but it never came. Slowly opening my eyes I saw her bent over and revealing her posterior. I should have been surprised by that but I was more surprised on what was on it. Sure enough it was Flitter's cutie mark showing as clear as day to me. I felt the color of my face drain as the revelation came to me on what was going on.

"Is- Is that what I think it is." I said my voice trembling.

"Yeah it's my 100% genuine cutie mark. Believe me now?"

I'm guessing it was now that my mind couldn't take anymore because after that it just went black.
