Rise of a Spider

“There you go, now don’t you look adorable.” I stated as hot pink filly named Diamond Tiara blushed and nervously fidgeted about. After we got her all washed up, which we took extra time doing just to help ease her mind after being rapped, we had her fully dressed in some of the little farm filly’s clothes who I’d come to know to be named Applebloom. “Awe, you look even more adorable when you blush act all shy like that.” Call me horrible But I enjoyed messing with kids. Guess I might actually want a few of my own but the only one who's getting any of this is whoever can get that ring on this finger.

“P-please, I’m not cute.” She argued halfheartedly, though it was unlikely she’d be doing anything wholeheartedly for a while.

I snatched her up in my arms and nuzzled the little filly. She honestly was adorable, even as she squirmed to get away from me before reluctantly giving in. “So adorable and cute! You’r mother must be so proud.”

“My mother ran out on me and my dad.” That one sentence ripped at a good chunk of happiness out of the room. Wait, rich, no mother, bet her dad always working and can never spend too much time with her. I know that feeling well. I’d better cheer the kid up again so she doesn’t get depressed.

“Well, if it makes you feel any better, my mom ran out on us too. Dad died recently to make matters worse. At least you still have your dad, right?” She immediately turned to me in shock before looking apologetic. “Hey, don’t sweat it kid, I’m fine. Dad wasn’t the type that wanted me mopping about after he was gone.”

“W-well, um, I... Thank you, again. I know my dads gonna want to thank you to, so...” She trailed off and averted her eyes to the floor, a far off look in her eyes.

“Well if your dad wants to thank me so badly, think he’ll give me a place to stay? I kind of don’t have a home right now.” The kid looked surprised but I could see the twinge of happiness in her eyes. Looks like I made a pretty good impression on the kid. “What’s that look for, you didn’t really think I’d just save you and leave you to deal with the pain by yourself did you? I might not really know you or anything, but I see a bit of myself in you kid and I know you shouldn’t be left alone again.”

“I-I... Why do even care? You saved me already so isn’t this the part where you leave or something?” She asked looking to the floor.

I playfully ruffled her hair with a grin. “Nah, I got nowhere else to go right now and you seem like a alright kid so I figured you wouldn’t mind me hangen around for a bit.” She looked hopeful but quickly changed it trying to look indifferent about it. “But if you want me gone so bad guess I’ll just be on my way then.” I hopped down the stairs before she could say anything and disappeared around the corner.

“No wait! Please don't leave!” She took out running nearly falling down the stairs only to stop as she say me leaning against the railing waiting for her.

“Oh hey, took you long enough squirt.” I whipped a tear from her cheek and ruffled her mane again. “Guess I could still stick around for a bit.” I almost fell down the rest of the stairs as she practically tackled me into a hug. Her death grip showed she had no intention of letting me leave.

“Well, nice to see you and her are getting along pretty well.” Came a familiar southern accent. The farm mare from before was grinning at the two of us as Applebloom made her way down the steps as well.

“Now that the guards are haulen them scoundrels off I think its time for a proper introduction. Come on outside, everyone’s waiting to get to know yuh stranger.” She said before walking back outside. I wasn’t that much of people person, at least that's how I view myself anyways, so I wasn’t exactly thrilled to meet everyone, but seeing how I’m currently in a brand new universe with superpowers and no friends whatsoever it was kind of necessary to start a few good friendships here and there, tends to come in handy later on.

Well, this is certainly a colorful bunch, almost as if a box of crayola crayons suddenly sprouted legs and lined up in front of me. I mentally sighed before awkwardly waving not entirely sure about all this. “Um... Hi.”

“Hello, My name is Twilight sparkle and I’d like to be the first one to welcome you to Equestria.” She noticed the look I was giving and her and quickly added. “You are from another world aren’t you? I’ve certainly never seen nor heard of anything quite like you. Well, maybe I have but I always thought Lyra was just going about nonsense.” I simply nodded to the purple mare, noting her violet mane color with its pink and purple streaks.

The farm mare was apparently next as she stepped up to me while maintaining a respectful distance.. “Names Applejack and I’m assuming you already know my brother, Big Mac,” She said gesturing to the large maroon stallion. This guy could really give a girl a heat stroke just by looking at him to long. “pleasure meeting yuh miss.” She continued. “I’m also mighty grateful to you for stopping those no good varmints.”

“I didn’t do it to be thanked or earn someone's gratitude. I just saw a helpless little filly getting harassed by a bunch of disgusting old guys and couldn’t just walk away.”

“Which makes you alright in my book miss.” She tipped her hat to me before stepping back with the others. I almost punched the next one in the face as she suddenly zipped up in front of with her scrutinizing gaze as she looked down from head to toe.

“Alright, I can tell you and me aren’t going to get along already so, if you don’t mind, just give me your name and back out of my personal space skittles.” I practically growled out turning that scrutiny into a full on glare.

“Hey, just because you saved Diamond Tiara and all doesn’t all of a sudden put you above me, so lose the attitude kid.” She nearly snarled out, her muzzle a mere inch away from my face. Skittles wants to play, alright, we’ll play a game or two and see how wells eh fairs.

I slipped my makes up just enough to uncover my mouth before suddenly grabbing her and closing the distance between us. Her cyan cheeks were quick to turn scarlet from my kiss and embrace and, funny enough, I noticed her wings suddenly flair out. It was almost to funny as a chorus of gasps added to the moment.

She struggled a bit but quickly just melted into my embrace, her eyes actually slowly shutting before a little moan escaped her lips. Well that ought to do it.

It was the biggest struggle of my life to hold in my laughter as she stumbled back a bit unable to actually look at me. thankfully my choked down laughter only came out as a bit of giggles or something before I could regain my composure. Alright, time to drive that nail on home.

“Well, got to admit you taste pretty good. Almost makes me want another taste or maybe something a little more... Intense.” I licked my lips as she stared at me in shock, whatever retorts or angry shouts she might have been about to do died instantly. “Though I got to warn you RD, I bite.” I playfully bit at her just ensure she backed off. Oddly enough her wings seemed to suddenly get even more stiff. Her friends weren't in to better of a shape from the look of it. Anyone with wings was pretty much in the same vote as the cyan pegasus and all of them were blushing madly. I was even blushing though that was because of a certain stallion pitching a tent, and let’s just say his muscles weren't the only thing thick and meaty on him if you catch my drift.

Big Mac quickly followed my gaze and seemed to blush even more, I mean I could actually see him blushing which meant something since his coat was so red that it was normally impossible to. “Ugh, I have to... go take care of something... somewhere else.... Nice meeting you miss.” He stuttered out high-tailing it into the barn shutting the door behind him.

The next one cleared her throat to gain everyone's attention and get things moving again. “Yes, well, I suppose I should introduce myself next then.” Said an alabaster unicorn as with deep violet mane and tail elegantly styled. I may prefer men but I’ll be damned if I turn down an opportunity to wrap someone like this around my finger. I’ll have to catch her later though.

“My name is Rarity and may I just say I simply adore that costume of yours. So well made and those colors, oh my. If I may inquire who made such garments for you?” Fashionista hugh, hell yes.

“I made them myself. Glad to hear you like it so much.” I replied.

“Oh my, we simply must get together sometime and work on a few a things. I’m sure the two of us could create some truly beautiful works of art my dear.” I could tell she was already fantasizing about it, adorable.

“I’d be delighted to miss Rarity. I shall have to get in touch with you and set up a date and time for such.” I said trying to sound a little more formal. Apparently it worked pretty well as she pranced back to her spot still daydreaming.

“Hi! I’m Pinkie Pie!”

“Gah!” I held my heart making sure ti was still beating cause I’m sure it just skipped like two beats just then. “W-what the hell is wrong with you Pinkie? You nearly gave me a heart attack!”

“Oops, sorry. Anyways, My schedule is unfortunately a little too busy today but tomorrow I’m throwing you a “Welcome To Ponyville Being From Another World!” party! It’ll be super fun and I just know you’ll love it!” Her enthusiasm was a little infectious. But for some reason she seemed to be blushing harder the more she talked and closer she got. Dear God what have I done?

“Sure thing Pinkie, I’ll be there, promise.” Her already incredibly big grin got even bigger, it was insane.

“Pinkie Promise?”

“No, you’ll just have to trust my regular promise.”

“Oh, okie-doki-loki!” She said with a hint of disappointment before darting back with the others.

I turned to the last one expectantly but noticed her hiding behind her mane and nervously fidgeting. Well, guess I’ll have to help her break through that shyness just to learn her name. I calmly strode over to her and tapped her shoulder startling her a bit.“Alright, guess its your turn cutie.” She immediately went back to hiding behind her mane and fidgeted even more. “Hey, its okay sweetheart, I just want to know your name, promise.” She still refused to let me answer me and kept up her timid routine. I did notice a bunny peeking out from behind her mane and glare at me.

Hmm, I wonder. “I see you like animals. So do I, but sadly My pets just recently got ill and passed away. Maybe you know of a good place to get a new, and possibly exotic pet?” I asked hopefully. it definitely seemed to do the trick if the fact that she was now hugging me meant anything.

“Oh you poor thing. I’m so sorry to hear that, but as it happens I can actually help you find the perfect pet. Just say the word and we’ll have you a new little friend in no time.” Said the timid yellow mare in an almost whisper as she consoled me. “My name is Fluttershy by he way.”

“Fluttershy hugh, a cute name for a cute mare, i like it.” She blushed and went back to hiding behind her mane again and fidgeting though i could still see her lips curve into a small smile.

“Well, I guess its my turn then. My name is Rachel Kerrigan, or you guys can call me Spider-woman if you like. It’s great to meet all of you, even you over there skittles.” The cyan mare huffed but her recently folded wings shot up again embarrassing her further and making it hard not fidget nervously and keep her gaze averted from me.

“It’s nice to meet you as well miss Kerrigan. Mind if I ask you a few questions?” Asked a hopeful and eager Twilight pulling out a quill and parchment seemingly from nowhere. Normally I’d say no but the amount of hope in her eyes, it was just too much.

“Sure, I guess that’s fine, but if you’re going to be asking me personal question mind if we do it in private?” I asked. She looked like she was going to explode in joy as she squed and was at my side in a flash of pink light.

:”Of course, lets go right now! Oh the things I can learn from you, I just can't wait!” She had arms wrapped around one of mine and already trying to drag me off. Got to admire the kid and her enthusiasm for learning.

“Woah there Sparkle. I can't just up and leave my little friend, not till I’ve gotten her to her father.” I started trying pull myself free. Damn, shes got a strong grip for a little adorkable science mare.

“That would be kind of hard seeing how Filthy Rich is all the way in trottingham on business and her babysitter is currently in the hospital with a concussion.” She said. Welp, looks like I’ll be keeping the kid company till he gets back then.

“Alright, so when exactly does this guy get back home anyways.” I asked just out of curiosity.

“Well, from what I know, he should still be gone for another two weeks at the least, three at the most.” Fuck.

“Hey Diamond, If you need me I’ll be inside with Twi answering a few questions, alright squirt?” I hollered over to her.

“Okay,... P-please don’t stay gone long.” She answered with a bit of uncertainty clear in her voice before she returned to talking with Applebloom. Sweet kid, clear that she’s really shaken by what happened though, not that I can blame her or anything.

I turned with a sigh to Twilight and nodded to her. “Alright Twi, Lead the way, and let’s make it quick. I don’t want to be away from her for too long, not right now.”

“Sure thing, and don’t worry, she’ll be fine. It’ll just take some time for her to get over all this.” Her words actually did make me feel abit better. Don’t know how it happened so fast but I was already a bit attached to the kid, damn it. Looks like this my life now and I’ll just have to deal with it.

“So, for my first question I’d like to ask you, and this has nothing to do with what happened earlier, but, are you gay?” Oh this is going to be a long and very interesting next few minutes.
