My Little Pony: Starting Over

I woke up to my phone alarm playing Amy by Green Day, and felt... Refreshed. Being refreshed. That was a feeling I haven't felt in three years. Three absolutely miserable years of my life spent on earth. Equestria was my new home now, and I gladly accepted it.

I turned to my side, and saw Twilight. I was wondering why she was next to me, and then I remembered that her house was now my house as well.

I got out of bed a bit groggily and turned off my alarm. I walked down the stairs and saw... A dragon? A PURPLE FUCKING DRAGON!? I almost screamed, "Holy shit! What the fuck! A dragon! Twi, there's a fucking dragon in the house!"

I saw Twilight giggling and said, "That's Spike by the way. And so much for not cursing."

I remembered that twilight told me that she lived with a dragon. I blushed deeply. "Oh yeah... I forgot about that. Both the cursing and the dragon."

I turned to Spike, "So... Um... How's your day been Spike?"

He just looked at me. Finally he spoke, "What are you?"

I facepalmed. "Well, my name is Mitchell, but you can call me Mitch, and I am a human." I extended a hand to him. He reluctantly took it and shook. "Sorry for the cursing by the way, sometimes it just slips out."

Twilight looked at me and sighed, "Oh, well. Spike I better not hear you using that language."

I added my own wisdom, "Especially in front of Rarity. She flipped out the last time I said a curse word in front of her."

Spike immediately tensed up at mention of Rarity. I noticed this, so I whispered to Twilight, "What's up with Spike and Rarity?"

She giggled, "Well, Spike has a crush on rarity. Oh!"

All the sudden, Pinkie appeared behind us, and that scared the shit out of me. Pinkie was just shaking her head at Twilight, and then she disappeared. I think my brain died for a bit there. When I could finally talk, the first thing I said was, "What the actual fuck just happened?"

Twilight just calmly replied to me, "It's Pinkie Pie. You'll get used to it overtime."

I shook my head and realized I was only wearing boxers. I suddenly blushed, "Um... Twilight? Where is your bathroom again?"

She pointed to a room next to her... I guess now our room. "Right there. Why?"

I responded, "Well, I need to get a shower, so... Yeah."

She face...hoofed? Facehoofed? Is that a real word? Anyway, she said, "Oh, duh. Go ahead I'll give you your privacy."

I walked over to our room and got myself another change of clothes, then I headed over to the bathroom and turned on the shower. Since the shower head was much lower than I was, I had sit down to get all of my body washed effectively. She only had one shampoo, so i had to use that. I got my hair thoroughly cleaned for the first time in a while. When I got out of the semi-shower I put on a nice blue v-neck, some socks, and some jeans. I was ready for my day.

I saw that I needed a source of income. I was pretty sure that Equestria did not accept American money, and it sure as hell wouldn't accept credit cards. I decided what to do, I would play roadside music. I got a fair bit of coins for doing that, so I figured why not. "Hey Twilight, do you know of any part of Ponyville that is really crowded during the day?" I asked her.

"Well, the marketplace is pretty busy all day. Why?" She said, with a bit of confusion.

I replied, "I need a source of income, so I figured that I could play some roadside music."

She smiled at me, "O.K., good luck. By the way, the marketplace is near town hall, and you can't miss town hall because it's huge."

"Thanks, see you in a bit." I waved at her, picked up my electric guitar and amp, and I was off to the marketplace.

When I got the marketplace, I could see Twilight was not lying. It was so crowded, I almost couldn't find a place to set up. I did eventually, but only after thirty minutes of searching. I was next to a cherry stand.

I put down my amp, opened my guitar case, plugged in my guitar, and played an quick D chord. I got my phone, and put my playlist on shuffle. The first song I played was The Catalyst by Linkin Park.

(Le Lyrics) God bless us everyone, we were broken people living over loaded gun.
And it can't be outfought, it can't be outdone, it can't be outmatched, it can't be outrun (no!)

I saw some ponies become interested in what I was singing. I started to get a crowd, growing as the time went by. It was never like this on earth. Nowhere close. By the time I got to the second chorus, I had a crowd of about fifty ponies.

(Le Lyrics) And when I close my eyes tonight, two symphonies are dying (oh)
God save us everyone, as we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns (oh)
My memories in cold decay.
Transmissions echoing away.
Far from the world of you and I, where oceans bleed into the sky.

When I got to the slower part, most of the ponies were bobbing their heads to the beat. When I finished, everypony stomped their hooves on the ground or clopped their hooves together. I went to the next song. 99 Revolutions by Green Day.

(Le lyrics) There's a trouble in the air, a rumble in the street.
Going out of business sale and race to bankruptcy.
It's not one to ninety nine, it's ninety nine to one
A common cause and a call to arms for the health of our daughters and our sons.

The ponies were absolutely loving the song as all of them were an their hooves, I started strumming the strings harder, getting a bigger sound.

(Le Lyrics) We live in troubled times, from the ghettos to an empty suburban home.
We live in troubled times and I'm ninety nine percent sure that something's wrong.
It's all wrong!

When I finished, I got the most applause I had ever gotten in a performance ever. I almost teared up a bit as to how enthusiastic these ponies were to someone who wasn't even their own species. These ponies really enjoyed my music! Fuck the earth! I want to stay here! Not that I had a choice wether I wanted to go back or not, but if I did, I would stay in Equestria.

I continued to sing until it was about 12:30. I didn't notice that Pinkie Pie and Rainbow were in the audience. Pinkie spoke first, "You are the absolute bestest at singing! I absolutely can't wait to hear more songs!"

I blushed a bit at the praise. Rainbow chimed in as well. "Your songs are the best! I love that one band... Um... Green Day was it?"

I smiled hugely at her for liking my favorite band. "Yeah, Green Day is my favorite band. I know every lyric to basically all of their songs." Right after I finished talking, Pinkie's stomach rumbled. I laughed, "It looks like somepony is hungry. Want to go get lunch?" I nodded my head.

We decided to go to the cafe that I went to yesterday. As we sat down at our... Mushroom tables, we looked over our menus. The same waiter came over to take our orders. Pinkie had a FLT, which I think stands for Flower Lettuce Tomato, Rainbow had hay fries, and I had lasagna again.

Aa we ate, Rainbow asked me a question. "So how are you liking equestria?"

I thought about it for a bit, "Well, from I've seen, equestria is fairly peaceful, much more so than earth. I honestly like it here more than earth, saying that I was in shambles on earth. You ponies took me in so quick, I am honestly surprised that you didn't reject me immediately."

Pinkie giggled, "Everypony... Or I everyone I guess, deserves a chance." I smiled at their signs of approval of me. We ate and talked about random stuff until our plates were clean of any food.

After we finished eating, I went back over to Twilight's house to put my guitar away. I felt like trying my enchantment for my gun, so when I arrived I called out, "Twi, are you here?"

I saw the familiar purple unicorn walk down the stairs. She was bit surprised to see me, as I guess she as guessing I would be still playing music. "How did the music thing go?"

I looked at her, "It went well. I wanted to know if you had any plates or something fairly brittle that you don't want anymore?"

She looked for a bit, and after ten minutes handed me some plates and some vases that had been cracked or partially shattered. She looked at me funny. "Why do you want that junk?"

I smirked, "Well, I was going to test out my enchantment for my gun. Do you want to come as well. You might want to bring your earmuffs by the way."

I could tell she was a bit reluctant but then to my delight she said, "O.K., I'll go. I'm interested to see how they really work." I was giddy with excitement, so Twilight and I went back to the place that I first told them about guns.

When we got to the site, I asked Twilight if she could set up the vases and stuff around two hundred yards away. She complied, so I waited about five minutes in order for her to set the targets.

She returned and I asked her a question, "What type of gun do you want to start off with? Pistol, Submachine gun, Assault rifle, Light machine gun, Heavy machine gun, Shotgun, Sniper rifle, or a random gun?"

She looked confused, but the finally replied, "Um... Just do a random one for now."

"O.K." I pulled out my M9 as I thought of a gun, but I settled on something pretty reliable, and one that I knew a lot about. The H&K MP5A3. As my gun was appearing in front of me, I told her a bit about the gun. "So what I going to shoot now is the Heckler and Koch MP5A3. It has a rate of fire of eight hundred rounds per minute, a muzzle velocity of four hundred meters per second, a thirty round magazine, it shoots nine millimeter rounds, and it weighs about seven pounds."

Twilight seemed astonished as to how much I knew about guns, as she was bug-eyed and had her mouth open. "That's incredible! How do you know all of that information without writing it down? I know I can do it, but still That's a lot of stuff."

I chuckled a bit, "Well, I was a bit of a gun junkie on earth. I know the name of almost any gun, and a lot of information about them, but going on let's shoot this baby."

She reluctantly nodded, and I put her earmuffs on. I switched off the safety and put it to semi-automatic mode. I yelled, "The range is hot! Everypony stay away from the plates and vases!" I aimed the gun at the first plate and fired. The gun felt like a dream in my hands. I fired around ten more rounds at the targets before I went fully automatic. I smirked and fired.

Pure bliss. That's what I was feeling. Well, until I ran out of ammo. I called out, "Reloading!" When I put a fresh mag in the receiver, I pulled back the charging handle to it's original position, and then put the gun on safety. I looked at Twilight, "Wasn't that great?"

She fake smiled at me and responded, "Um... Yeah... That was... Um... great."

I frowned. "What's wrong Twi?"

She looked down and said, "Well, I don't get what's so great about shooting something that can kill things so easily."

I knew where she was coming with this. I wanted her to know what it feels like, but I couldn't get a gun for her to shoot though because the triggers are to small... Unless the gun doesn't have a trigger! I'll let her shoot an M2! "Hey Twilight, how about you shoot a gun? You can decide wether you like them or not."

She was a bit reluctant, but she finally sighed and agreed. I turned my gun into a Browning M2HB (Heavy Barrel) with a tripod. She laid down in front of the gun and I told her how to operate the gun and some info about it. "This is a Browning M2HB, it fires a point fifty BMG caliber round, has a rate of fire of around five hundred fifty rounds per minute, a muzzle velocity of eight hundred ninety meters per second, a hundred round belt, and weighs about eighty four pounds. All you have to do shoot it are press these buttons on top of the gun. Don't forget to line up the back sighs with the front sights also."

She nodded, and I loaded the gun and called out, "The range is now hot! Stay away from the plates and vases!" I looked at Twilight, "She's all yours now. Fire when ready." Twilight nodded at me, looked down the sights, and pressed the top buttons. The roar of the gun and the fire coming out the barrel was magnificent. I could even see Twilight grow a smile.

When she stopped shooing, she turned to me and said loudly, "That was awesome! I want to do that again!" I laughed and loaded another belt of rounds. When I gave the go ahead, she unleashed hell on the plates. They were shattering left and right. I was impressed with her skills.

After five more belts, I stopped her. "Alright, alright, I want to try out some more guns." She frowned a bit, but she got off the ground. I put my hand on the gun, and I thought of a DSR-50, and, no surprise, the M2HB turned into one my favorite snipers ever. I smirked a bit and pushed the bolt forward.

As I stared to lay down, I called out the same thing I had the first two times. "The range is now hot! Stay away from the plates and vases!" I looked through the scope, and lined it up with the first plate I saw. "Goodbye motherfucker." I pulled the trigger, and it was like magic. One second the plate was there, the next it was gone.

I smirked, worked the bolt, and aimed at the next plate. I aimed, and fired. The plate disappeared. I repeated this three more times, until I had reload. As I reloaded, I could tell that Twilight was confused. "Why do you put that... thing in the back instead of the front of the gun?"

I laughed at her confusion. "Well, this gun is what is called a bullpup gun. Bullpup means that the magazine is behind the trigger. I don't know why, but I love bullpup guns a lot."

We went on testing more guns. Twilight's favorite gun was the Glock 18 because she was impressed with the power in it. I decided that we had been shooting for a while so we packed up and left. As Twilight and I were walking back, Twilight looked at me, "Hey, do think we could do this again sometime?"

I smiled hugely at her, "Sure we can do this again if you want." She nodded her head. I was ecstatic. Twilight liked shooting! This was a miracle! It's like we were meant to be together... But can we? Have I recovered from my other love...? Is it even fucking legal?! I was thinking pretty deeply, and Twilight must've noticed me because she asked, "Are you O.K.? You seem to be pretty deep in thought there. What are you thinking of?"

Should I tell her? Oh, why the fuck not. What's the worst thing that could happen? "Um... Is it legal for a human and a pony to love one another? If you don't know, that's fine, but I was just curious."

I could tell she was shocked because she was blushing wildly and her pupils had shrunk. We both stopped in our tracks. She spoke with a bit of... Excitement? "Well...um...I don't think that it would be illegal, and if it was, I would certainly ask Celestia as to why it's a law. I doubt that it would illegal though because humans have never lived in equestria before. Why do you ask?"

I will not lie. I was exited at those words, but should I tell her why I asked? Should I lie just in case she didn't like me? "Well, I just wondering."

Her she said her response, she seemed and spoke like she was sad. "Oh... Well...O.K."

Did she actually like me? I did kiss her... But it was reaction... Do I really like her? Do I like all of them? "Why do you seem so sad? Is it because I kissed you?"

She looked at me. She was crying a bit. "Look Mitch, I don't know how you will react to this, but... I think I'm in love with you."

Those three words had the most meaning in them. I love you. I realized that I loved her back. I loved all of them. They all were beautiful in their own ways. I kneeled down, "Twi... I think I love you too."

There we were staring into each others eyes. Then it happened. We came closer, and we kissed. Fully on the lips. I brought one of my hands to her cheek, and I put the other on her back. Her mouth moved in perfect fluid motion with mine. I honestly don't know the best way to describe a kiss. I guess the best way is by saying like it's like seeing heaven while still alive. It's like a fireworks show in your mouth. As we kissed, we opened our mouths, and our tongues seeked dominance over the other. Even though I was stronger, I let her push my tonuge back. We kept the kiss going for two minutes? ten minutes? half an hour? I don't know, but I do know that that one special moment was absolutely magical.

A/N I was listening to Know Your Enemy while I wrote the above paragraph.

When we broke the kiss, we both blushed extremely hard. I thought our cheeks would catch on fire. There was a minute of awkward eye averting and silence. I spoke up first. "So... Um... That was... Um... Good."

She looked at me, "Um... Yeah... That was... Great... Yeah..."

The walk back to her... I guess our house was silent. When we got back inside, it was about 3:00. "So, I'm going to go back out to play some more music, you want to come along?"

She blushed a bit, but replied "Um... Sure. Let's go." I got my guitar and my amp, and we went out.

We went out the marketplace and I set up my guitar and amp again. Twilight sat down in front of me. I turned on my phone and put my playlist on shuffle. The first song that came up was Last Night On Earth by Green Day.

(Le Lyrics) I text a postcard sent to you, did it go through?
Sending all my love to you.
You are the moonlight of my life, every night.
Giving all my love to you.

Ponies started to come around me and listen to the music that I was playing. The ponies were bobbing their heads to the slow beat.

(Le Lyrics) My beating heart belongs to you
I walked for miles till I found you.
I'm here to honor you.
If I lose everything in the fire, did I ever make it through?

As I finished the song, the ponies stomped their hooves, and clopped their hooves together, Twilight did it the most though. I went onto the next song, Hitchin' a Ride by Green Day. As the song started to play I got lower to the ground.

(Le Lyrics) Hey mister, where you heading? Are you in a hurry?
Need a lift to happy hour. Say "Oh no."
Do you brake for distilled spirits?
I need a break as well.
The well that inebriates the guilt.
One, two, one, two, three, four

The ponies were starting to really get in time with the beat, and some even stated to clop their hooves to the beat.

(Le Lyrics) Troubled times, you know I can not lie.
I'm off the wagon and I'm hitchin' a ride.

The ponies started to throw in some coins, which Twilight told me are called 'bits' when coming over here. I played my next song. This song was fitting because I happened to see Lyra in the audience. What I've Done by Linkin Park with the music video. I asked Twilight if she could project the music video by using her magic, and she said that she could. I started playing.

(Le Lyrics) in this farewell, there's no blood there's no alibi.
Cause I've drawn regret from the truth of a thousand lies.

The ponies were shocked at the pictures, and I was not surprised by that. The ponies still clopped anyway (not in that way...) when the song finished. I played until my guitar case had a good amount of bits in it. It was around 5:00 When I played my last song. Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.

(Le Lyrics) I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known.
Don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone.
I walk this empty street, on the boulevard of broken dreams.
Where the city sleeps, and I'm the only one and I walk alone.

The ponies were nodding their heads to the slow beat. As I played the last chorus, the ponies started to get up and stomp their hooves.

(Le Lyrics) My shadow's only one that walks beside me.
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me.
Till then I walk alone.

Everypony started to disperse, but Twilight stayed behind because, of course, I was living with her. When I looked at her she had a big smile on her face. "I love it when you sing! You are so good at it!"

I blushed a bit and chucked nervously, "I don't think I'm THAT good."

She giggled, "Well, you better believe it. You sing pretty well." I blushed even more from the praise. "Let's go to sugarcube corner and get dinner. Sound good?" I nodded my head.

As we were walking, I was wondering what what we would be having for dinner at a bakery. "Um... Twilight? What is there to eat at sugarcube corner?"

She giggled at me, "Pastries of all kinds! Cupcakes, cakes, anything sweet that you can think of basically!"

I winced at the thought a bit. "Isn't that really unhealthy?"

Twilight looked at me, "I know it is, but it tastes good, and the food is fairly well priced." I couldn't argue with that logic.

We walked over to sugarcube corner, and we met Pinkie Pie walking to sugarcube as well. I wondered if Pinkie would like to join us for dinner so I asked her, "Hi Pinkie, you coming here for dinner too?"

She giggled and replied, "Silly Mitch, I live here. I also work here by the way."

I should've known. This place would be like a dream for her. I chuckled, "I should've known that you live here." Twilight just rolled her eyes playfully.

As we walked in, the scent of pastries overwhelmed me again. We stepped up to the counter and we ordered two cupcakes each. Two chocolate for me, and two vanilla for Twilight.

We ate our cupcakes in total silence. We had a hard time even looking at each other without blushing. Pinkie must've caught on because she started walking toward our table. When she arrived, she asked, "What's going on between you two? You can't even look at one another without blushing. Wait... Does that mean... Twilight have you found your special somepony!?"

We both blushed madly, Twilight said, "Um... Well... Uh... Promise not to tell anypony?"

Pinkie Pie replied, "I cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye!"

I could not help but laugh at that. I managed to say, somewhat quietly, between breaths, "Stick... A cupcake... In your eye? Holy shit, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?"

Pinkie looked at me sternly, "It's a pinkie promise. If you break it, you lose the friend that you pinkie promised to FOREVER!!!!"

I will not lie, Pinkie made me a bit scared there. "Oh, well, O.K. I'll be sure not to break one then. But anyway, Twilight go on."

Twilight smiled at me and blushed a bit. "Well, me and Mitch, after we went shooting for a bit, we kissed for about twenty minutes on the road to Ponyville."

Pinkie gasped and, I shit you not, she stayed airborne for three seconds or so.
"So you do have a special somepony!"

Twilight than whispered something in Pinkie's ear. It was just loud enough for me to unintentionally hear, "He was good at it too." At those words I blushed madly.

I got up a bit abruptly, as it startled Twilight and Pinkie a bit. "Well! Yum! That was great! It was nice seeing you again Pinkie, so.. Um, Twilight we should probably get going. OH! And here are there are the bits we owe you for dinner. So we should probably be on our way Twilight."

Twilight nodded and said to Pinkie, "I'll se you tommorrow Pinkie! Have a good night!" Pinkie waved at us as we left. We awkwardly waved back.

When we were back at Twilight's house, she almost screamed, "What the fuck was that about?!... Oh... My... Celestia... Did I just..."

I walked up to her and patted her on the back. "Good job Twilight. You said your first swear in my presence. Seems my language has already permeated your brain, so don't be afraid to curse around me."

She rolled her eyes irritantly at me, and she went upstairs to our room. I could not help but laugh at that, until I remembered Spike. I called out, "Hey Twi, where is Spike?" No response. "Twi?" I figured something was wrong, so I went up to our room.

As I saw the room, the door was closed. I knocked on the door. "Twi? What's going on? I can probably help you."

As I listened more closely, I could hear Twilight lightly crying. I checked to see if the door had been locked , and to my delight, it wasn't. I opened the door and Twilight had her head in her pillows. "Twi, what's wrong? You can tell me."

She looked st me sternly. "What's wrong? What's wrong?! I just cursed thanks to you! That's what's wrong!"

I felt bad for her, but I couldn't help but snicker at that. "Twi, cursing is normal. It happens to everypony, and everyone. Hell, you saw Celestia curse right in front of you." Twilight wasn't buying it. "Look, is this about you thinking I don't like you anymore?" She looked up at me as to say 'go on'. "I won't judge you on cursing, in fact I think your pretty badass when you curse.

Twilight blushed and said, "Really? You won't judge me for saying that?" I just shook my head. She got on her hind legs, and I hugged her.

I checked the time, it was about 10:00, so I decided to call it a night. "Hey Twi, want to sleep with me tonight?"

She gave me subliminal bedroom eyes and said, "You know Spike isn't here tonight right?"

I shook my head as I replied, "No, but it's good he isn't. He could've learned a new word today!" We both laughed at my bad joke, Twilight a bit more sad then ger usual laugh. I figured that it was because of the swearing.

As we stopped laughing, We looked into each others eyes. I was getting a feeling of déjà vu. We brought our mouths together again, our tongues dancing together. The feeling was again magical, like nothing could ever break this perfect moment. I brought my hand to her cheek, and I rubbed it passionately.

When we eventually up broke the kiss, a single strand of saliva kept us together. We couldn't help ourselves we kissed again and again. It was like being intoxicated, you were in a world of absolute bliss. By the time we stopped kissing, we were very tired.

Twilight and I fell on the bed together, and I hugged her close to my body. We were very warm together, our body heat mixing. I muttered out softly, "Sweet dreams Twi", and I kissed her on the cheek as she grew a smile.
