White Hawk's Fate

Chapter 7: House Arrest And Crusaders

<<------- Gavin ------->>

You can't complain about how you slept if you slept cuddling a soft, warm, and fluffy yellow pegasus. You can complain about what woke you up when you were cuddling a soft, warm, and fluffy pegasus. I was woke up by a orange NOT fluffy normal pony, normal in the sense that it had no wings or horn. I tried to ignore her, and for a while it worked. Then she decided to whack me with her sleeping bag. Whether she was trying to or not she hit Fluttershy.

"Ow!" She shrieked as she wormed her way deeper into the sleeping bag, only her face was showing when she was done. "W-why did you do that Applejack?" She asked timidly. I grabbed the sleeping bag she used to whack me and Fluttershy with and through it over Applejack's head.

"Sorry Fluttershy, I didn't notice you were RIGHT there. I was trying to wake Gavin up so he could wake you up, but he was being more stubborn than a raccoon with a bit." Applejack had a sheepish grin and was rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.

"You woke me up the first time, I just ignored you. Would you want to wake up if you were cuddling an adorable fluffy pegasus?" Fluttershy giggled when I said this.

"Well I suppose not, but you need to get up!"

"Why did you need to wake us up?" Fluttershy asked.

"We need to get you and Gavin out a here before sunrise, which is in about half an hour, so nopony will see ya." Now that I actually had a reason to be awake I looked around to see everyone up and taking care of things. Fluttershy wasn't so keen on getting up though.

"Couldn't Twilight just use a group teleportation spell?" Fluttershy raised an eyebrow at Applejack.

"Well I, uh, didn't think about that. I'll ask her." She proceeded to head for the stairs, where I presumed Twilight was. Fluttershy made her way back out of the sleeping bag and laid her head on my chest again.

"You think I'm gonna let anypony disturb our peaceful sleep?" She asked in a joking tone. I chuckled at this, I gently pulled Fluttershy closer to my face. She closed the rest of the distance and buried her face into my neck. I couldn't help but get a sniff of her mane that was in my face. It smelled of wild flowers after a storm. I began to run my hands along her sides. she sighed in content. I felt her muscles relax as she began to get sleepy. She began rub my belly.

"Why are you rubbing my belly?" I asked bewildered.

"To give you a hint." She said. I rolled my eyes at her.

"You really want your belly rubbed?" She nodded, I chuckled before I said. "Oh fine, turn onto your back." She did as I told, but rolling onto her back she rolled onto me. I didn't really mind though, these ponies are unexplainabely light. She tilted her head so she wouldn't hit my forehead with the back of her head. I wrapped my arms around her and rubbed her belly as her head lay next to mine. Fluttershy sighed as she said.

"This feels nice... Hey I don't know anything that I can do to you to make you happy, do you like any spots in particular to be scratched? Anything like that?" I just told her not to worry about it as I continued to rub her belly. "But I really want to know! Please." she looked at me as she put her hooves together as if she was begging. It would have worked better if she wasn't laying on top of me. Still I sighed as I said.

"Ok I'm the average male human of my world, I like my back scratched and I like massages. Also remember, not even the third date." She blushed a little bit when she realized what I meant. She laughed before she said.

"I'll remember the first two, the third one I'll try to forget!" I chuckled as I went back to rubbing her belly. "But I have a suggestion," I raised an eyebrow at her. " would a kiss make you happy?" For my answer I leaned in and pecked her cheek. As I was leaning back Fluttershy grabbed my head and made me lean back in for an actual kiss. For awhile we just laid there ignoring what was going on around us. I don't know when but I fell asleep, when I woke up I heard.

"Darling they look so adorable you can't wake them up!"

"Too late." I groaned. I opened my eyes to look at Rarity and Twilight looking down at me and Fluttershy. Fluttershy was of course still on top of me, and of course my arms were still around her. Fluttershy woke up slowly and rubbed her eyes with her hooves. She carefully rolled around on top of me so she wasn't laying on her back. She looked down at me and smiled.

"Sorry darling, Twilight is ready to teleport you to your cottage." I carefully moved Fluttershy off of me before I got up and stretched. It turns out I should have sat back down, in a flash of blinding light Twilight, Fluttershy, and I were going through some sort of tunnel. It kept getting smaller and smaller soon I was being contorted and squished against the other two. It felt as if I was being condensed into a tiny hole, being torn apart, and then put back together again at the other side of the universe. There was another flash of light, and we were then in Fluttershy's cottage. I was having troubles holding down last nights marshmallows.

"Ohh god! Do you ever get used to that?" I asked with a seriousness that did not suit me. Twilight simply nodded her head before she basically placed me under house arrest.

"Ok so you need to stay here for the rest of the week, or until news of you reaches Celestia. Whichever comes first, Fluttershy you can go out and about but try to be unnoticeable."

"Uhm, Twilight. I'm already very unnoticeable to other ponies."

"Oh no you're noticeable now, I mean you were with Gavin when he changed into a weird white hawk thing." Twilight pointed out.

"Oh, yeah, that makes sense. Don't worry Gavin I won't leave you alone to often. You would probably get bored." I nodded.

"Twilight." Twilight hmm'd in response. "I would be very grateful if you could bring a book to me tomorrow. Hitchhiker's Guide To Magic (If you get the reference you sir/madame are AWESOME! By the way another reference in...) it sounded very interesting. Twilight I have one question, is the answer to all (3) magic, potions, (2) and everything (1) 42?"

"I'll be glad to lend you the book but, uhm no. Where the hay did you hear that from?"

"Oh just something from Earth." I chuckled. Fluttershy looked at me completely bewildered for a moment. After a few more moments she asked.

"Is there... Anything else you need to tell us?"

"Uhm... Oh yeah! Rarity will stop by later, she made a sweater for Gavin since Fall is coming soon." With a flash of her horn Twilight was gone. My stomach growled very loudly, a few moments later I heard a small growl from Fluttershy.

"I guess were both hungry, do you have ingredients for muffins?" Fluttershy nodded as she poked her stomach as if she herself did not realize she was hungry. As I found everything for blueberry muffins Fluttershy fed Demon... I meant Angel. She eyed everything I was doing as if she was waiting for me to do something wrong. "Are you ok Fluttershy? I mean did the reference to my world really weird you out that much, or is something else wrong?" She took a moment before she answered.

"Nothing is really wrong, I've just been thinking about what your world must be like. No magic, instead from what I've heard you say. You have wondrous technology to do things for you. I mean if everybody in your world has access to this technology you would think you all to be fat." I thought for a moment of what I should and shouldn't tell her. She is so gentle and kind, I wouldn't want to scar her with stories of the violence in my world.

"Well a lot of people are fat and lazy, but it's not like everything is done for us. People still need to work to get stuff done, a lot of our technology just makes it easier to do work. Also not everybody has access to as much technology as others, some can't even get access to modern medicine. Technology I think has had more of a downside on my world then it has helped, pollution for example, global warming too. Fluttershy I hope you never get the chance to visit my world. I would stop thinking about it." When I finished Fluttershy had a pondering look on her face. I got the muffins into the oven before Fluttershy spoke.

"Is your world really that bad?" Fluttershy asked, I nodded in response. "Is that why you have been so calm about being here?" I thought for a moment.

"That's part of it I suppose. Back home I was always either really calm and collected, or crazy and hyper. So I wouldn't be surprised if this was just a long crazy dream, and I wouldn't be surprised if I just finally slipped and I actually did fall off the roof of that building. Either way I'm happy here nothing bad has happened to me since I arrived here, the local humans generally ignore me. There has only been one hint of of what Discord described as humans being used as sex toys so far. Really the only two bad things was breaking my arm on the fall into this world, and fighting that beast." I said. Fluttershy seemed very quiet for awhile, even after the muffins were done and we started eating she was silent. Did I give her that much to think about. I stared at her for a moment before I went back to eating my muffin. She must have reached some conclusion in her thoughts because she perked up in her seat before she said.

"So you either can't leave me, or you can leave but you can come back. If one of those is true." I nodded. "If neither of them are true, but you got a chance to go home but never return. Would you?" That gave me something to think about.

"Well I have friends in my world and my girlfriend, I was an only child with my mother raising me. She died last year. My world sucks and I don't have TOO much to return to." I continued to consider everything in my life at the moment before coming to a decision, although not a very final one. "I suppose it really depends on what happens to me here. If nothing too bad happens to me then hell yeah I'll stay, but if for some reason it gets too much for me to bear being here. Then I'd leave." I finished my muffin. I was going to take my plate to the sink when I was tackled into a hug from Fluttershy.

"I'll have to keep you happy then." She sounded calm. After a moment I returned the hug, I decided to try and lighten the mood since there was just too much seriousness for me to be comfortable. I picked her up and started heading towards the small bed to plop down and relax. "Oh this bed just won't do, you can sleep in bed with me. I mean really this bed is just so uncomfortable." She said this right when I plopped down. I groaned at her as I got up and started to head towards the stairs. "Oh no it will be fine for sitting." I raised an eyebrow at her before I laughed.

"I wouldn't want you to be uncomfortable would I?" She rolled her eyes but let me keep carrying her none the less. I was half way up the stairs when I heard the front door slam open. I turned around to see a small baby dragon (I assumed this was Spike.) and three fillies. one was an orange pegasus, one was a white unicorn, and then there was a yellow normal pony with a bow in her hair. (I assumed these were the cutie mark crusaders seeing as Twilight said Spike was with them.) I had just gotten to the bottom of the steps when I heard the dragon shout.

"We'll save you Fluttershy!" Fluttershy flew out of my arms before the three fillies and dragon pounced on me.

"S-stop girls!" Fluttershy said timidly as they continued to hop on me as I fell to the floor. Although annoying it was pretty cute when the orange one started biting my foot. I'm so glad they don't have sharp teeth! After awhile I finally got bored of them and decided to surprise them, but not in a bad way. I grabbed the unicorn in my arms as she shouted I tossed her up in the air and caught her. I did this over and over again until the unicorn was laughing and shouting for me to toss her higher. Of course I didn't for fear of her head hitting the ceiling. The other two fillies and dragon stared at me with looks that said. "What the hell?!" The yellow one was the first to break out of her stupor.

"What the hay? Ok this human is obviously not a threat, so why was he carrying you?" I answered for Fluttershy deciding to surprise the fillies again. I know it was probably a bad decision but I wanted Celestia to hear about this. She could probably give me some answers I wanted.

"I was carrying her to bed of course!" I said with a laugh added to the end. The fillies fainted while Spike started to stutter on random words. The only word I caught was "W-what?"

"Oh Gavin did you have to scare the poor fillies?" I shook my head.

"No I was hoping to just surprise them. I didn't think they would faint, I would suggest placing them on the bed." I picked up the dragon and the pegasus while Fluttershy picked up the unicorn and normal pony. They woke up three times and the fainted four times before we got them to stay awake. After doing some explaining to the fillies the orange one asked.

"So this is the human that turned into a giant white hawk and killed that beast in the market place. Is it true that you ate the beast's heart?" I gulped before I nodded my head. Why did she have to remind me of that?!

"I would rather not talk about that, ok?" The fillies nodded instead of asking why, signifying that they understood why. I was about to say something when the unicorn spoke up.

"People around town have been talking about you, some think that Fluttershy just happened to be there some say that the you were with her. Apparently the latter would be the truth..." She was going to say more about it but the yellow put a hoof over her mouth.

"Sweetie Bell he said he don't wanna talk about it!... Anyways I think some introductions are in order! I am Applebloom sister of Applejack this here is Sweetie Bell sister of Rarity and this one who was bitin your foot is Scootaloo, she was adopted by Rainbow Dash a few months ago." She paused and looked at the other two before they put the fore legs around each others shoulders.

"And were the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Oh and the dragon that is still shocked is Spike." They started out together and then Applebloom introduced Spike. Who I think I may have broke. I bent over and tapped his shoulder, this knocked him out of it. He jumped back three feet as he started shouting, he was shouting so fast I couldn't hear a lick of what he said.

"Why was he carrying you to bed Fluttershy?" Sweetie Bell asked.

"Oh we were just messing around." Applebloom and Sweetie Bell's eyes widened while Scootaloo started snickering. "Oh no! Not that kind of messing around! You need to keep your minds out of the gutter! Where do you girls hear that kind of stuff anyway?" Scootaloo started whistling and looking anywhere but at Fluttershy and me. Fluttershy used a weird stare on Scootaloo and forced him to tell her where he heard it.

"I may have found some magazines under Appplejack's bed and showed them to Applebloom and Sweetie bell after I finished reading them." Fluttershy looked disappointingly at the Crusaders.

"I'm going to have to tell your sisters... And Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo started acting skittish at the mention of telling Rainbow Dash. "But for now, why are you girls here?" Scootaloo visibly relaxed.

"We wanted to see if we could stay here tonight! The clubhouse gets cold at night, we found that out the hard way.  Don't worry we already asked our sisters!" Apploom answered. They knew I was here yet they said these fillies could stay? Wow. Fluttershy looked to me for a moment as if looking for an answer. I then figured out why she was looking at me for an answer.

"Well since Gavin is living here now if he finds that it's alright I suppose it won't be a problem at all." The three fillies looked to me with pleading eyes. I don't know if this world is starting to affect me or something but I swear I saw golden rings above there heads as they entered a begging position. Why must I be such a sucker for everything cute and/or adorable? I stretched out my words to sound kind of dramatic.

"Weeeelll I gueesss they can stay." I immediately was pounced upon by the three fillies as they shouted. "YAY!" At least I won't get bored. I looked at the clock to find that it was lunch time. "Have you little fillies had lunch?" They all shook there heads. "Well I made muffins earlier there should be enough to keep you satisfied until dinner."

"Wow he talks AND bakes, that's sweet!" Sweetie Bell Shouted this as she was hopping towards the muffins which were on the counter. "Hay he can turn into a hawk, what can't he do?!" She shouted as she grabbed a muffin off the tray using her magic.

"I can't go outside for the rest of the week." I said plainly as I got up and closed the front door that the crusaders left open.

"Why not?' Scootaloo was walking around looking around the cottage.

"So I don't cause" I paused to point at Spike who was starting to speak clearly but was still freaking out slightly. "that on a wide scale in town." Scootaloo tilted her head and shrugged a shoulder. "I have to stay here for the rest of the week or until Celestia finds out about me." Applebloom looked at me with an up raised eyebrow.

"What makes ya say she'll ever find out?" I couldn't help it. As the saying goes, face meet palm.

"I turned into a white hawk in the market place with at least seven ponies in the market place when I did, everypony else was running away from the beast. Oh did I mention I left a small crater? Yeah Celestia will hear about this." (Note what is about to happen is a joke I couldn't resist. It is not actually what is going on.)

Meanwhile in Canterlot castle, Celestia goes through her mail.

"three manitcores attack... Blah Blah Blah... Human in Ponyville turns into a giant white hawk? Junk mail." She then proceeds to throw it into her fireplace that currently has the ashes of 7 other letters that say the same thing.

Back in Fluttershy's cabin

"Oh... Yeah." Applebloom sounded as if she just heard she couldn't eat her Halloween candy until Christmas. That is to say, very disappointed. "What are you going t'do for fun til then?" Applebloom asked.

"Read, bake, and relax."

"That isn't fun at all!" Scootaloo exclaimed as she bounced onto my lap and accidentally landed on my balls.

"Oh... Fuck... Not the balls!" Scootaloo bounced off as me as I entered a fetal position. "I survive a fall from 45 stories high only getting a broken arm, and I kill some sort of beast only getting a few minor scratches and a scar. Yet I can't handle a filly jumping on my balls!" Applebloom and Sweetie Bell were laughing as if I was the funniest person alive. Scootaloo was standing next to me apologizing profusely. Fluttershy was helping me back up, after a few minutes Fluttershy asked me if I needed an ice pack. I replied by simply shaking my head.

"I'm so, so sorry!" Came Scootaloo's last apology, it was about ten minutes later and Fluttershy's head was on my lap as we sat on the bed. Sweetie Bell and Applebloom had stopped laughing and now sat quietly munching on their second muffins.

"It's fine kid, just be more careful next time." I chuckled more to keep her from apologizing again then because it was funny.

"Fluttershy you seem happy to be with him, why?" Sweetie Bell said/asked. For once I decided to keep my mouth shut and let Fluttershy explain it as I stroked her mane. While Scootaloo pretended to barf there was a series of awwws from the other two.

"I'm not much for the mushy stuff but if you break Fluttershy's heart then I will break you. Well I'll go easy on ya since I did kinda already... yeah." Scootaloo said with a nervous chuckle at the end. I just rolled my eye's at her and decided to pick her up in one hand. Again these ponies are unexplainably light. I placed Scootaloo atop my head.

"I promise I will do nothing to break her heart." I said humoring Scootaloo. She just released s small "HMPH!" atop of my head, which reminded me of Rarity accept that Scootaloo didn't turn her head back and up as Rarity does. Fluttershy just giggled as she leaned her head into my chest. This earned another awww from Sweetie bell. Scootaloo scooted forward on my head a little so she could bring her head down to look into my eyes. "Yes?" I asked a little annnoyed, I do not like people to be in my face.

"Is there any games you like to play?" She asked.

"Monopoly." I answered very plainly.

"You mean Marenopoly?" Fluttershy asked.

"You know how I told you a lot of things here are similar to that of my old world?"

"Yes." I raised an eyebrow at her and she gave a small "Oh." before she laid her head back down into my lap and gave a sheepish smile. I chuckled a bit.

"I don't like board games, but I do like making money. Can we make this interesting?" Scootaloo asked. the rest of us shouted at him.

"NO!"

"Alright, alright. You're gonna break my ear drums!" Sweetie Bell and Applebloom laughed. Fluttershy got up and went to a cabinet. Inside were a bunch of board games. I recognized what two of them were mimicking, one was Basilisk Trap the other was Marenopoly. She pulled down Marenopoly and set it on the table.

"Come on girls Marenopoly is fun!" Fluttershy said this with enthusiasm. Applebloom and Sweetie Bell bounced to the table while Scootaloo sighed and stayed atop my head as I walked over to the table. I took her off and whispered to her.

"I'll bet ya five bits I win." This made Scootaloo perk up a bit. I sat down and waited for the banker (Applebloom) to hand out the starting money.

No need for details, the game went on for four hours. I think I may have enjoyed making Fluttershy bankrupt a bit too much, but hey I won right? I'll just let her borrow some of the 5,423 doll... bits I have left! Scootaloo  slid five bits over to me while I noticed Applebloom sliding 13 bits to Sweetie Bell. Fluttershy gave us all the stink eye.

"Did I not say that we weren't going to make this "interesting"?" Applebloom and Sweetie Bell grumbled something. I said.

"Come on the little one was begging me to!" I picked up scootaloo and held her in one arm as you would a barrel, I used my free hand to ruffle her mane. When she started to squirm around in my arm I set her down and chuckled.

"THAT was not cool man! It was kinda funny though." Scootaloo said this with a smile.

"You know girls, you came here on a good day. I plan to make chile for dinner." This sent cheers around the table, even from me! I love chile! I of course I helped her get the ingredients,  sadly because ponies are herbivores there would be no meat. I had to remember to remind Fluttershy to tell me were those meat pills are. The little ones were outside running around with some of the animals, constantly being checked up on by me and Fluttershy. Once the chile was actually cooking and only needed to be checked every few minutes me and Fluttershy went out to play with the girls. We had a nice calm dinner when it was ready. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful.

The girls slept in the bed downstairs, which was apparently the guest bed. I took a shower before getting ready for bed. Of course I made sure there was towels before hand. It was very hot for being almost fall according to Twilight, so I slept without a shirt. Usually I would no matter how hot it was but Fluttershy said she liked the way I looked so I didn't feel uncomfortable with it.

"I love you." Said Fluttershy as she snuggled into me. She turned over onto her back and looked at me with pleading eyes, of course she wanted me to rub her belly. I of course, obliged.

"I love you too." I said as I kissed her before I went to sleep with her using my chest as a pillow. The were two awwws and one fake barf from the doorway. "Go to bed!" I shouted half joking.

"But we were having nightmares." Sweetie Bell said with puppy dog eyes. Damn it, I'm too weak to the cuteness! I thought as i waved them into the bed. "With you staying here I think we should stay here more often!" Sweetie Bell said this with a yawn. The other two nodded in agreement. I was basically in a blanket of fur as I fell asleep. Life is adorable. Was my last conscious thought.
