¿Pero que…?

Do you know what does it means to be the only Brony in you´re city as far as you know? It means that you´re alone with a bunch of crazy ideas of ponies been cool.

Do you know what does it means to try to make you´re friend to understand how cool is My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic when your language make them sound like a real little girls show? It means that you´re STILL alone with a bunch of crazy ideas of ponies been cool.

But do you know what does it means to be a Brony in Mexico? It means that you´re minority, so matter of fact you´re ignored by most of the community in that you were raised.

Well at least it how I have been feeling.

…

My name is Martin Hernandez and I live in the “beautiful” city of Reynosa, in Tamaulipas, Mexico. The only good thing here is that is a border city, with the “Great” county of United States (nothing personal but I was raised this way).

And this was another afternoon in my business, an office and school products shop. And I was basically alone and bored, as nearly always.

I don´t have to do a lot of things here; active a computer for it use, sometimes I make copies of an entire schoolbook or maybe clean a little the place. But today was dead for the business.

No school normally means no sales, and no sales means you don’t have anything to do.

So I decide to do my normal basis of ponies, around six hours without anything to do except watching MLP: FIM show, EQD or FIMFICTION. Anyone of those was good enough to me to spend hours without doing a thing.

Today some fics that I liked were updated so I knew that it was going to be a good afternoon of reading.

I like fan pics, fan music and fan videos but the fan fiction was the one that attracted me more.

There were so many ideas in them, some of them were good, other were bad and, sometimes, other make me sick (really, what up with the specific gore and cruelty in this community). But in the end they were ideas and make me believe that I could understand a little more of their life’s of some of those who shared their histories with me. Especially the self inserts, I know that some of them where exaggerated and others where just mean to be funny, but some of them where really deep.

Make me feel better with myself.

Ponies were such a beautiful and interesting idea. And I´m happy to be part a community that loved them as much as I did, the Bronies. Even if I was the only Brony that I´ve meet in my life.

*thunder*

“What…!” I got scared, I fricking hate lightings.

Then I realized something odd, thunders, in middle of clear sunny day and with a heat so high that I could cook an egg in middle of the street without oil.

I opened the curtain that covered my sliding glass door just to see if there where storm clouds outside.

And then I saw an unconscious naked girl in middle of my backyard.

I close the curtains, count up to ten, and opened again. And she was still there.

I wasn´t sure of what to do so I went to see her closely.

She was a beautiful white girl, with a long black hair and a pink and puple stripe in middle of it. She was completely naked but it would be tiring to talk more about a specific body description so I will just say that she had a good chest and was in a good body shape.

There was just a problem with the picture; she got hurt, all over her body.

My backyard is full of dirt and stones, so however she got there she ended up in a bad spot where to fall.

Most of them where scratches but I could spot some cuts in her back.

I just did the first thing it came to my mind.

I took her in my arms and carried her up to my room.

After leaving her in my room, I when to close up the shop, and give a look outside from my front window to see if there was any curious person around, fortunately I didn´t see anyone, nut it didn’t make me feel better. There´s always the possibility that in the time I got the girl up in my room someone spotted me doing that, it could be easily confused as abduction.

I decide to give more attention to the girl in my room for the mean time. I don´t have any experience with wounds treatment so I did the first thing it came to my mind, I took some hydrogen peroxide from my fathers room to clean her wounds. I was waiting her to get awake but it didn´t happen so I begun to clean her carefully.

I must admit that her skin was so soft that made me feel little nervous, in the bad way. So I decide to stop and went outside of my room to control myself. I took like three minutes and when I was ready to continue I get into my room to find a waked up girl, siting in my bed, staring her finger in a strange form.

She looked up to me and stared me with fear. She must think I´m a rapist. I thought. I need to calm her down.

“¿Estas bien? (Are you alright?)” I asked in my native language as calm as I could, I thought that if she was in Mexico she could speak Spanish. But she didn’t seem to understand a bit of my words.

But she looked more nervous than before. It was like she feared me. Now she really must think I´m a rapist. I thought as if I just screwed the whole situation.

“Oh Celestia, What is he going to do to me know?” She said with a lot of fear from her voice.

Wait, Celestia? “Are you alright?” I asked again in her same language as calm as I could. At least she seems to calm down a little with this.

“Y…Y-You can understand me?” She asked still with fear in her voice.

“Yes.” I responded to her. “My name is Martin Hernandez.” I said to her with an awkward accent. My accent and grammar could be considerate bad but at least I´m understandable. “What´s your name?” I asked to her, feeling like I just returned to English classes in Elementary school.

“M-my name is Twilight Sparkle.” She said with an excellent accent and more confidence in her voice. “Where am I?” She asked to finish.

Part of me was skeptical, the other one was confused. None of them could believe what they heard.

“Twilight Sparkle” I said. “Like the Twilight Sparkle?” I really couldn´t believe it, It would have been more credible if she was a pony but… she wasn´t. “Like the Faithful student of Princess Celestia, the Element of magic and Ponyville librarian?”

Her face passed from confused to surprise to horrify in matter of seconds. “But how do you know all those things from me?” She asked me terrified. “We just knew each other.”

I didn’t know how to respond that. So I said the first thing it came to my mind. “Interrnet.”

Now she was asking me what the “hay” is internet and more and more thing that make me think of why did I help her in the first place?

“Please just calm down.” I said.

“Calm down! Why would I calm down?!” She responded me, angry. “I´m in middle of Celestia knows where, with a hairless monkey that apparently knows everything abut me!”

Must admit I would be scare as hell as she was if that happened to me. “I got a name and a specie, could you at least call me by my name?”

“Why would I?” she asked me standing up.

“Because I´m trying to help!” I responded in a serious tone, trying to avoid her seen her chest to see her face to face.

She calmed a little and her face looked as she was thinking really hard about this situation.

“Ok, let´s just say that I believe that you just want to help me, but how do you know who am I?” She asked in a defensive state.

I didn´t know how to explain her how to did I knew about her, I was more concentrated in not stare her body more than I actually have done without alarming her more.

“I will explain that laterr. But first could you put some cloths?” It’s all I could respond to her.

“Why?” She asked, a little surprised by request.

“Well, because my people, humans, use clothing to hide our shame.” I responded at the same time I begun to look for clothes in a box near my closet.

“I don´t understand.” Clearly demonstrating her innocence.

“It´s inmorral.” I just said as I give her a blouse and shorts.

She decides to not ask more questions about the clothing and get herself dressed. She was a little awkward at doing it but I
didn´t have the courage to say Can I help you? Since I hadn´t won her confidence yet.

For a couple of minutes there was an awkward silence. I didn´t know what to say since I just screw my presentation and I didn’t want to make things worst.

I was thinking how to explain her about the show, about the human world, about the lack of magic, about the internet, about the Bronies and about the horrible place in that she just ended.

“Excuse me do you know how could I send a letter to Canterlot?” She asked me in a serious tone.

This is going to be a long day.

Un Domingo

Today was the awkwardness and weariest day in my life.

Twilight Sparkle had somehow appeared in my backyard as a human.

And if thing weren´t just strange she was naked (In that moment) and completely unaware of where she did end up.

She asked for an explanation and I give it to her, more or less.

“So you´re a fan of a 6 years old filly’s show that is popular in a massive cybernetic communication web that should be used for gathering information and work but inset you use to kill time?” She asked with an annoyed tone.

“… Yes” I Responded to her surprised. I just explained what was a human, MLP, Bronies and the basics of Internet, I didn´t
expect her to understand all of it so fast.

“And that makes me a fictional character of that show?”

“… I don´t think so.”

“Really, are you sure that I´m not something made by your imagination?” This time she asked angry.

“… No…” Now I was scared.

“Why not?”

“… Why will I imagine you when I could imagine Fluttershy or Pinkie Pie?” I give her my point. Since I explained her that they where my favorite ponies.

“What… A-are you some kind of pervert?” She asked me, I could notice that she was little shocked by the fact that I prefer her cuter friends that her.

“What?!... Oh God! Look I have standarrds.” I point to her blouse. “And those clothes on your body are the proof of it”

“Well you could be another kind of pervert.” She continued arguing.

“Believe me in the state you were, no. In the state you are no kind of perrvert would let you… uhm… go… untasted.”

She was a little disturbed by the words I selected to explain her situation but I could see that she felt a little guilty and tired.

“You look tired.” I pointed.

“I think I´m still a little exhausted.” She said blinking both eyes.

“Look tomorrow is Sunday, I won´t be here until afterrnoon and I´m begging you to stay indoors until my return.”

“Where are you going?” She asked with heavier blinks.

“I have a work really early in the morning tomorrow.” I responded her in a calmer tone. “Look I´m going to let the computer on so you can investigate whatever you want, and I will let you some instructions that will help you with that, Ok?”

“Alright…” She said as she fell to sleep in my bed.

I was more tired than I originally expected to be and I needed all my energies in few hours. But there was one final thing to do before getting some sleep.

“Hora de limpiar el historial (Time to erase the browser history)”

***

The best Sunday ever. I sold 80 kilos (around 176 pounds) of Barbacoa before middle day. That was a good selling day.

My family works selling Barbacoa of cheek and neck beef for a Butcher company in Sunday, so all morning were really busy until early afternoon but for some reason today’s sales were incredibly fast.

Not just it was tastier than normally but also lots of clients came from really early.

We gained a good reputation in this zone for selling good, tasty and cheap barbacoa, so lots of people came to buy here from other colonies or zones but today there were more than normally.

I was happy to finish that earlier than normally because of two certainly reasons.

One, because I was really tired.

Two, because I have an unexpected guest in home.

I just need to wash everything before getting home.

I must admit that I was worried for Twilight.

She just got stuck with me. When there are a lot of better bronies, heck, lots of better people than me.

And my life would just make it worst. I didn´t just live in a dangerous city, I also lived in a dangerous colony. There are lots of CDG Sicarios living in my colony; even I have seen the new CDG city commander. And for make it worst my work is in front of the Reynosa´s Red Zone.

Twilight is really attractive and some guys here could get cocky enough to take her without saying a thing. Also I have never been in middle of gunfire but this place has one or two between the army and the CDG per week.

This place wasn´t Iraq or some other county in war, but was still dangerous for a girl as her. Although, I´m happy that she didn´t end up in someplace worst than this.

I will have to give her some rules.

***

“¡Querida ya llegue! (Sweetheart I´m home!)” I just have to say it.

As expected, she was in my computer concentrate in whatever she was looking unknotting my presence.

I got closer to her as quiet way possible to see what she was doing.

She was reading universal history; reading something about the Second World War.

“Twilight, what a you reading?” I asked with all intention of startle her.

“Martin!” It worked. “I´m just reading about your history.” She responded to me with a bit of annoyance.

“Twilight, that doesn´t have to do anything with me” I just say that to mess up with her.

“Ha! Very funny, I just want to now what are you humans able of do” She said.

“And what have you found?”

“That humanity is a horrible specie.” She responded with the same annoying tone.

“That doesn´t surprrise me.”

In fact, I´ve got time to think about everything wrong that humanity have done in their history sometime ago but in the end I never give it to much attention to bother me. And this time wasn´t going to be the exception.

“Look, I don´t want to talk about how horrible we humans are to you, because of three things.”

“One, It’s bothersome.”

“Two, I´m really hungrry.”

“And three, I want to give a couple of rules before you do something I reject.”

“Why?” She looks at me with an unsure face.

“Believe me they are necessarry” It everything she need to understand and It was everything I want to say.

“Numberr one: Don´t get out of herre without me, this place isn´t as safe as Ponyville.”

“Numberr two: don´t talk with strangerrs, rememberr that here it´s uncommon to speak your natal language, so be careful. If someone can understand you, It means that he is not to be trusted, unless I say it is. Do you understand this?”

She just nods in affirmation. And then there was silence for a few seconds maybe even a couple minutes. Mostly because I got tired to talk in English, for her might be as easy as breath but for me it was exhausting, I needed to formulate sentences in one language and then translate in a second language. I haven´t practiced my speech as much as I would like to.

“So, What´s for eat?” She asked me with an innocent smile. “I´m starving and I could eat a good Daisy sandwich right now.”

“Uhm… Twilight, have you read something about human food?” I asked nervously to her.

“No” She responded in an unsure tone.

“Mierda”

Saliendo

After a small conversation with Twilight about humans diet.

“This went better than I was expecting.” I said to Twilight outside of my house.

“I’m a smart mare…”

“Woman.” I interrupted.

“Woman, I must get the Idea that things works different here” Said in an optimistic tone.

“Sorry, it just that the fanfics made me thing that you would frreak out with the new.” I confessed.

“Well I must admit that it’s kind of disturbing but again this is a different world and you’re a different specie after all.” She said smiling. “Yet, I´m still hungry and I´m not going to eat meat.” Said finally with a serous tone.

I was aware of the fact that she won’t eat meat but that didn´t take all my options for lunch.

“I know, anyway I´m out of food, I was going to buy some grroceries after work but I want to show you the city and this would be a perrfect moment to do it.”

“Sound fine.” Said Twilight with a positive tone.

“But rremember the rrules I gave to you.” I tell her with a serious voice.

“Ok, no problem.”

“Well let’s get going, since I don’t have a car we will take the bus.”

We began to wall to the bus stop. I could notice how Twilight was curiously was seen all around her.

After a crossing the street her eyes were in me.

“Martin.” She called me.

“Yes.” I responded.

“Why all the houses look a like around here?” She asked me with a lot of curiosity.

“What do you mean?”

“Most of them are white and all of them have the same architecture.” She said pointing at a house that looked exactly like the one it had at its left.

“Oh… they are prefabricated houses they are made that way because… they arre easer to make. By the way we call them INFONAVIT houses here.”

“Why?”

“I will explain you that, laterr, I´m getting tirred of speaking in English.” I tell her with a bit of annoyance in my voice.
She saw me a little skeptical. “It is that hard?” She asked me.

“No, it because I´m not used to speak in English.” I explain to her.

“and?”

I decide to give her a better explanation of the problem. “Well I´m tired, I haven´t sleep since 3 am and it’s alrready 2 pm and thinking isn´t my best ability in this conditions.”

“Oh… sorry for…” She said with a bit of shame until I interrupted her.

“You have nothing to apologies.” I Interrupted her. “Look here it comes the bus.”

Say this I saw at the end of the avenue a yellow school bus with a some painted signs that said what route it was taking. The two most visible were Vista Hermosa and Centro. I will have to explain to Twilight how do the buses work on here… Later.

***

“So that a franchise.” Said Twilight with a satisfied tone.

“Yes.” I just responded her, completely annoyed.

“But doesn´t that affects local business like your shop.”

“Sometimes, sometimes it doesn´t.”

I knew I was been rude with her but I felt so freaking tired, the bus takes half of an hour to get out of the colony and get to the supermarket, and she, after I told her how tired I was, was still asking me questions.

The last one was about the 7-Eleven and OXXO, the two market franchises that abound in the area.

She immediately noticed my negativity. “Why are you so mad?”

“Se que eres curiosa, pero te dije que estaba cansado (I know you´re curios but I told you that I´m tired.)” I responded her.

Obviously she didn’t understand a thing of what I told her. “What did you said?” She asked me a little offended.

“Nothing.” I said before I yawned.

Somehow she immediately remembered how tired I was, maybe because of the yawn. “Oh, Sorry I didn´t mean to be so bothersome but its just that I’m curios about this country… how does is named again?” Said in a apologetic and curious way.

“Mexico” I responded.

“Mexico… It interesting name, what does it means?” Again she was in full annoying-learning mode.

“Well, if I recall, in my history text book said that it means In the belly button of the moon.” As far as I remembered and traduced it rightly.

“It funny name.” She said half chuckling.

“Yeah…” I yawned again. “It is.” This god-damn public transport is sucking my soul again.

“You look really tired.” Said Twilight with a little of concern.

“I´m ok.” I lied, after all I feel worst than ever since It was the second trip in the day in a public bus. I´m sure she said something else after that but I couldn’t understand it. After we get in the Monterrey-Reynosa highway I saw something good. “Do you see that place?” I said pointing at the building that said SENDERO in a big sign. “That’s our destination.”

“That’s a market?” She asked surprised.

“I think we call it supermarket but yes.” I said recovering some strength. “If that impressed you, you should see a supermarket in the USA, people says that they are three or five times bigger than that one.” I told her as her expression of surprise grew.

***

After getting down of the bus, we walk to the east entrance, avoiding cars and thing that were unfamiliar to Twilight. After entering she could see the Food Area, she was impressed by the number of people that were eating at the place. “We are going to eat here.” I told her. “Do you want a sandwich?”

Said this we went to the Subway.

In the Food area there a good number of places were to buy some food. But I was already familiar with Subway´s veggie sandwiches so I knew it was the best choice to go and eat something that Twilight would like to eat.

After my turn came (there was a line.) I ordered the Day´s Combo for me (a Subway Special) and a Vegetarian Delight for Twilight.

Everything went fine until the waiter asked Twilight for her vegetables.

“¿Y usted señorita? (And you lady?)” Said the employee.

Twilight looked confused and a little ashamed, she knew that the employee talk to her but she didn´t knew what to said.
I knoticed this and I tell Twilight what does he want to know. “He want to know what would you like in you sandwich.”

She looked at me a little more positive. “Some daisies would be good.” She said.

I forgot to tell her another human fact. “Twilight, humans don´t eat daisies.”

“They don´t?” She asked surprised.

“No.” I responded her. “Look this are the vegetables that you can put in you sandwich.” I told her pointing at the vegetables in the bar. “Just point them with your finger to select which one would you like. Ok?”

“Ok” She said with a fake smile. Something must be bothering her.

“Lo siento no sabe hablar español, va señalarte cuales vegetales quiere ¿esta bien? (Sorry she can not speak Spanish, she will point you which vegetables she wants, is that okay?)” I told to the employee as he nodded to respond.
After she selected her vegetables and I paid the bill we went to eat in a table near the place. Strangely Twilight was silent for a while.

“Martin” She said after nearly finishing her sandwich breaking the silence that was making her invisible. “Can you teach me that language of yours?”

“You mean Spanish?” I asked as well. I obviously knew what language but I wasn´t really putting attention at the beginning, I was hungry.

“Yes, I feel really awkward not understanding what you and the employee were talking about.” She said ashamed.

“Yeah, I know how it feels, you don´t need to feel ashamed for that.” I said remembering how when I was a kid some Americans come to my school and began to talk about dinosaurs and fossils but sometimes they ended speaking fully in English making the exposition very confusing. “Ok, just if you keep talking with me in English, I´m going to need the practice.”

“Why?” She asked intrigued.

“I´ll explain you later.” I didn´t want to explain her about things like my TOEIC exam in that moment, so I decide to tell her later.

There were some minutes of silence and finally my hunger and tiredness were fading so I decide to ask some questions on my own. “So I was curious about something?” I said with a grin in my face.

“What?” Asked me Twilight, noticing the sudden change of humor.

“Your…” I was really anxious to ask her about Equestria and her friends until I was interrupted by my cell phone.

“One moment, please.” I said to her taking my Cell out of my pocket and accepting the call without seen who the number was. “Hola ¿Quien habla?... hola Marco… si… huh… mmm… ok… nos vemos. (Hello, Who is it?... Hello Marco... yeah... huh... mmm... ok... see you.)”

I put back my cell phone in my pocket and with a serous and annoyed tone I say to Twilight. “Change of plans.”

She looked at me surprised and worried obviously by my sudden change of humor, again. “What happened?”

“We are going to see my parents.”
