2nd person

Alex could tell that whoever the small unicorn filly was, it was obvious that she knew what was going on between himself and Scootaloo. He could also tell that a spark of anger had erupted inside of her when she saw the scene displayed before her.

In a flash, Scootaloo leapt from the bed and ran to her small unicorn friend, trying to desperately calm her before she tried to do anything to Alex. “Whoa, just calm down Sweetie Belle. There’s no reason to get all feathered off over nothing.”

Sweetie simply shook her head in disbelief at this, and looked at her pegasus friend with a mixed expression of anger and disbelief. “NOTHING!? YOU CALL THIS NOTHING!? WAS HE OR WAS HE NOT JUST FORCING YOU TO MATE WITH HIM?!”

Scootaloo was taken aback by her accusation of her being forced to mate with Alex, but she didn’t really know what the two of them went through to find her. “No, he didn’t force me to mate with him. He’s never done anything to me that I didn’t want him to do, and this is something that I wanted to do.”

Sweetie had calmed down a little after she heard her friend say this, but her suspicions weren’t ceasing in the slightest. “And just how do we know that you really wanted to do this? For all we know, he could’ve brainwashed you or something!”

Scootaloo was starting to get annoyed by this. “Does he look like he’s capable of doing anything like that? In case you haven’t noticed, he doesn’t have a horn or a spell-book.”

“Well, I think it’s you who doesn’t know what these creatures are-“

“They’re called humans, you dummy.” Scootaloo interrupted.

“WHATEVER! ME AND APPLE BLOOM WENT ALL OVER THE PLACE TRYING TO FIND YOU, AND WE WERE BEING CHASED AND ATTACKED LEFT AND RIGHT BY THINGS LIKE HIM!” she yelled while pointing at Alex.

“WELL I’M SORRY THAT YOUR STAY HERE HAS BEEN ANYTHING BUT EXCITING” Scoot replied sarcastically, “BUT IF IT WASN’T FOR ALEX, I PROBABLY WOULD BE LOST, SCARED, AND ALONE OUT THERE. NOT TO MENTION THAT IF ALL THAT STUFF HAPPENED TO YOU TWO, THEN ONLY IMAGINE HOW BAD IT COULD’VE BEEN FOR ME; WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN ALL YOUR FAULT, SEEING AS HOW THE ONLY REASON THAT ANY OF US ARE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE IS BECAUSE YOU CAN’T CONTROL YOUR FREAKING MAGIC!”

“YEAH, WELL –” Sweetie practically choked on the last word as the harsh reality of their situation came crashing down on her all at once. It became apparent at that point that the only reason why any of them were even fighting was because she put all of them at risk. “I didn’t mean to put you in danger, or any of us for that matter. I just wanted to show you guys a harmless trick.” Sweetie responded, with tears starting to form in her eyes.

Scootaloo looked at her friend start to cry, and all the anger inside of her faded away; replaced by regret. Without hesitation she ran up and embraced the crying filly, trying her best to calm her down. “Look, you know I didn’t mean any of that, right? I just didn’t want you to be mad at Alex. He’s the reason I’m safe right now, and not wandering around outside in the cold.

Sweetie Belle looked up at Alex, and saw nothing but kindness, compassion, and love in his eyes. No where could she see hate, anger, or violence. She shouldn’t have been so quick to judge, without first knowing all of the facts. This human was nice, and Scootaloo trusted him. That was good enough for her...

Meanwhile, Alex saw the whole scene play out in front of him, but in no way understood what was happening. He had already covered himself with some underwear and a pair of pajama bottoms after Scoot had jumped off of the bed earlier; which was, in his opinion, something to help ease away the tension. While he saw Scoot comfort her small unicorn friend, he noticed the small yellow earth filly approach him. He turned his attention to her as she stopped just a few feet in front of the bed he was sitting on.

Apple Bloom wanted to see if Scootaloo was right about Alex being different from the rest of the ‘humans’, as she said they were called.

Alex saw that she was waiting for something from him, so he decided to speak up. “I really didn’t force her into anything. When I found her I could tell that she was lost and scared so I took her here to try and keep her safe, honest.”

The young male saw her nod at this, signaling that she understood him and what his intentions were.

Once Scoot was sure that Sweetie had calmed down enough, she took her by the hoof and helped walk her towards the young man, so she could help her get to know him better.

Alex was surprised to see that the young white filly was more than willing to approach him, after believing to be the cause of her earlier aggression, but nonetheless he was willing to help them during this stressful time.

“I’m just glad that someone had enough kindness to take care of her for us.” Sweetie Belle said. She was surprised (but not too surprised) to see that Alex didn’t seem to understand fully what she had said. “Can he understand us?” Sweetie asked Scoot.

“Not exactly. We mainly talk by using gestures and body signals, but that only works for simple things. , For everything else, I just write on a piece of paper.”

“Now how in tarnation is it that we can understand what he says, but he can’t understand a word that we say and yet can read what we write?” The young farm pony asked.

“We think it has something to do with the fact that when I came to this world I became more like the ponies of this world, who can’t talk, but yet I still kept my thoughts from Equestria.”

“Well that explains a lot!” Sweetie Belle stated, thinking back to the events that followed her and Apple Bloom all day. Just then, Sweetie got an idea as to how they could solve this issue. “Hold on, let me try something.” She said as she approached Alex.

Alex was baffled to see the young unicorn approach him with a smile on her face. The only thing going through his mind right now was ‘What did you three talk about just now?’ When he snapped out of his thoughts, Sweetie had jumped up onto his lap and had pressed her forehead to his, specifically pressing her horn to his temple. Just when he was about to ask what she was doing, his words became stuck inside his throat when he suddenly saw her horn light up.

Once Sweetie was done, she leapt down from the young man’s lap and regrouped with her friends before turning her attention back to him. “How do you feel?” she asked him.

“Rather confused about what you were do-!” Alex practically fell back hard enough to make him thankful that he was sitting at the time; ‘If I wasn’t sitting just then I would’ve fallen and busted my ass.’ Alex sat there staring at the unicorn filly as she and her friends were giggling at his reaction. “Did you just say something?!” he asked, with an expression of total disbelief painted across his face.

“Yes I did, but I think the real question here is; did you understand what I said?” she asked, still giggling slightly.

“Yeah, I understood you. How is that even possible?” he asked, still shocked beyond belief.

“Well, I just used a spell that my sister taught me.” Sweetie said with pride.

“Remind me again why ya sister even knows a spell like that, and how she learned it?” Apple Bloom asked.

“She learned it to try and see if Opal could tell her what she needs to do so that she doesn’t misbehave so much. Needless to say, it didn’t work, because Opal stayed quiet the entire time. As to how she learned it, she learned it from Twilight who learned it from a book one day when she was trying to see if she could communicate with animals like Fluttershy.”

“If you ask me that cat could stand to lose a few of her nine lives, then maybe she’ll learn to behave.” Scootaloo stated, which prompted all three fillies to laugh.

Alex was now shocked in more ways than one. For one thing, he now knew that unicorns could use spells and magic, which made him count his blessings that Scoot managed to calm her friend down, otherwise who knows what could’ve happened. He was also amazed that he wasn’t only able to understand the white filly, but he could now also understood all three of them!

The three fillies stopped their laughter once they realized that they had gotten sidetracked in their conversation, and completely forgotten about Alex. The three fillies walked up to Alex once they saw him slide off his bed and sat down on the floor. Alex then decided that he should tell them what happened when he found Scootaloo, how he found her, and why he wanted to take her home to keep her safe. He cut out what he and the young Pegasus had done her first night staying with him, but he didn’t keep out the part where she had wet herself once he came across her; which made Scootaloo blush with embarrassment, but she eventually laughed along with her friends at the whole incident.

“We can’t thank you enough for taking care of her. From what Apple Bloom and I went through today just to find her, I can easily say that no one else would’ve kept her safe.” Sweetie Belle said once Alex had finished.

“Yeah, thanks mister.” Apple Bloom added.

“Well think nothing of it; believe me I was well aware of how lucky I was to find her. I had her stay here the entire time since I knew that people out there wouldn’t understand her enough to believe that she was no threat. I couldn’t even risk taking her back to where I found her to see if there was a way to get her back home. I just kept her safe until a solution presented itself, and it did. I’m just sorry that I didn’t go back because I might have found you two before y’all went through what sounds like a horrible day.”

“Who are you tellin’?” Apple Bloom remarked.

“Well, at least you got here safe and sound. Apple Bloom and...” Alex was cut off once he realized he hadn’t learned the unicorn’s name, since it hadn’t been brought up before now.

“Oh I’m sorry, my name is Sweetie Belle.” she responded.

“Sweetie Belle, now that’s a fancy name.” Alex said, snickering to himself.

“So any chance you’ll be able to send us home soon Sweetie?” Scoot asked, eager to know how soon they could get home. “I really miss being outside.”

Although Alex was sad to hear that Scootaloo wanted to leave, he realized it was better for her to go back home where her family was waiting for her and where she could go outside again, instead of being cooped up all day.

Somehow Scoot must’ve been feeling his remorse as she looked at him and frowned a bit at his change in expressions. She owed him a lot since he went through the trouble of not only keeping her safe, but making the stay with him an enjoyable one. That’s when it hit her; she then grew a wicked smile across her face as she looked between her friends and Alex, one that didn’t go unnoticed by the young man. She had an idea, and a wicked one at that. “Hey girls, do you mind if we step out for a bit? I wanna talk to you both about something private.”

Both of the fillies looked at each other and then back at Scoot before responding with an ‘OK’. As all three fillies left the room, Scoot looked behind her at Alex. “We’ll be right back.” she said with a wink.

As Alex saw Scootaloo walk outside, he noticed that she raised her tail just enough for him to see her filly parts, before she closed the door behind her. “Somehow I’ve got a good feeling about this, but at the same time I feel a little dizzy about what she may have planned.” he said quietly to himself, as he waited for their return.

Author's Note

Well this chapter turned into a bit of a soppy one, but the next one will be filled with sexual content.
