Something a Little Bit Different

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

I woke up with a splitting headache, probably a hangover from the night before. I grunted, and with loads of effort, got up and into my bathroom. As I turned on the lights, I immediately covered my eyes. Everything always seemed way too bright nowadays.

I blinked a few more times, and opened the cabinet above my sink, and took out a bottle of Tylenol. I opened it, set a couple of pills in my hand and went ahead and swallowed them with some sink water. I nearly gagged from the taste of the pills, as I was never fond of the taste of medication.

Looking up, I noticed Dash coming up behind me, through the mirror. She set an arm around me, and gave a reassuring smile. I weakly smiled back, and sighed.

"Jay, you KNOW you shouldn't have drank that much last night in that competition against AJ. I could have even told you she was gonna win." Dash giggled, and rubbed my shoulder.

"I know, but you also know I never back down from a challenge! We've been together how long now? About what....Two months? Three, Dash?" I smiled again at her, who was shaking her head and smiling as well.

"Yeah, it's been a long time since we first arrived here.....I wonder how things are in Equestria right now."

"Huh....me t-....Dammit!" I smacked my hand against my forehead as the wondrous and beautiful thought of my stupidity entered my mind. I had forgotten to ask Twilight about her progress on finding a way to communicate back to the girls' home. Rainbow first raised an eyebrow, and gave a questioning look, but just shrugged it off.

Meanwhile, I muttered to myself how stupid I was as I rushed to go and talk to Twilight. At 6 o'clock am. With no clothes on. Whatsoever.

This part of my day, ladies and gentlecolts, is called, 'Being Stupid'.

"Twilight! Twilight!" I called Twilight's name a few times as I ran up the stairs, and into the main room of my house, where the exact Ms. Sparkle I was looking for was using my laptop to read E-Books until I came storming in.

Completely naked, with all my manhood swinging around trying to say 'Hey!' to everyone, I came to a sliding stop next to the couch where she sat with my, *ahem* little Jay almost slapping the adorkable Twilight Sparkle in the face. But no, what happened was much worse.

It swung to a stop right next to her. I stood breathless as she turned her head towards me. I never thought a person could jump a few feet in the air completely out-of-breath, but I sure did. When Twilight released her Fus Ro Dah, ear-piercing, glass-shattering scream. She would've gave the Dovahkiin a run for his/her money, and defeated Alduin herself!

Her scream brought some sleepy and worried girls along, plus their screams, with the exception of Fluttershy, and surprisingly, Jero. From seeing little Jay swing around a bit more, it turned into a scream-fest. And when it finally ended I slowly started to speak with a raised eyebrow.

"Ahem...what was that all about, if I may ask?" It seemed as though no one would answer me, until Twilight slowly, and shakily, raised an index finger and pointed at little Jay. I was about a foot away now, though, so I had to look around a bit first, until I looked down.

With my face turning hot red, I immediately thought of about three ways I could play this off. One way was to simply be embarrassed, cover little Jay up with a pillow, apologize, and go put some clothes on. Another was to joke about it, apologize, and sneak away like a ninja to get dressed. The last way was to run like hell to get dressed, then apologize later. I chose the second way. I looked down again, and acted as though I thought I had put clothes on when I woke up.

"Whoa! what happened to my clothes? I know for a fact I just put them on! Who would do such a thing, as to steal my clothes off me without my knowledge, making me completely naked!"

I looked back up, with a fake-angry face.

"Who did this? Huh?! Who! Tell me!" Pinkie hid behind Rarity, Fluttershy covered her eyes, and everybody in the room blushed. Even me. Especially me! I then chose to use option three as my backup, and ran as fast as my legs could carry me to my room, slamming the door behind me, leaving everybody else stammering and wondering what in the heck just happened. I rushed to get dressed, double-checked to be sure I was dressed, and then came back out, trying to play it off.

I walked, slowly, back up to the main room and peeked around the corner before entering, seeing most of the girls had gone back to the rooms upstairs, all except a snickering Dash, a frozen Twilight, and an angered but beautiful Applejack heading for me. I started to walk to the couch, when I did a double-take.

A mad Applejack...Aw man!

I instantly turned on the heel of my shoe, and tried to run again, but Applejack, using her magical AJ powers, had some rope on hand, and lassoed me from behind, and dragged me back by the legs. I crawled, trying to escape, but my pleas for help were not answered as she pulled me back more and more, like a monster dragging in it's prey, ready for the kill.

I tried to take off the rope, to no avail. With this in mind, I just gave up, and closed my eyes, reciting a prayer for forgiveness of my sins and merry passageway into heaven, HOPING that I might be spared from the punishment. Then I felt the dragging stop and opened my eyes to find the back of Applejack's hand heading for my face from the right side. I tried to turn away, but I was too slow. The slap echoed on throughout the house, no, I’m pretty sure the neighborhood could hear it. After a second or two the pain decided to finally set in. It stung my cheek, and it left a big hand print of throbbing pain..

"An' that's what a no-good in-a-propriate varmint like yerself gets! Showin off yer manhood like that, thinkin' that yer all-that an’ a barrel of apples! Can you care to explain yerself, 'fore I go and beat you senseless?" I nodded, and started to explain as I got up from the floor as Applejack thankfully removed the rope from my legs.

"I didn't mean to! I just had an enlightening thought of the utmost importance! I then ran out of me and Dash's room, but I forgot to get dressed before doing so...then, well, here we are....." I gave a small smile, trying to convince her, even though I was scared and worried on the inside. At first, she didn't believe me, until Rainbow nodded at her, still half-snickering. With that, Applejack sighed.

"Jus' don't let it happen again, ya hear?" I nodded, and she went back upstairs, presumably back to bed, but not before calling over her shoulder, "And make sure to say sorry to Twilight!" I sighed, but went over to Twilight as I was going to anyway.

"Twilight, I'm sorry...What I said was the truth. I didn't mean to traumatize you." She nodded, swallowed, and cleared her throat.

"Well...that's one experience I'd rather not tell Princess Celestia about...." With this, Dash just busted out laughing on the other side of the couch. I groaned.

"Yeah, and that's what I wanted to talk about. Have you found a way to contact Princess Celestia, or Spike, or anypony yet?" On the inside, I both hoped that she did yet didn't...I didn't want them to leave yet, but I did want them to be happy.

Besides this, Twilight shook her head. Then my doorbell rang. I raised an eyebrow as I walked over to the door, Dash, who was struggling to keep quiet, and Twilight following behind be. I looked through the peephole, and saw the usual UPS guy who delivered my packages. My hand twisted and pulled the door knob, while my mind raced to try to find out what I could possibly be getting in the mail, and why the delivery guy didn't have it in his hand.

"Hey, Jay, my man! I got a really huge package for ya. It's in that truck over there. Technically." He pointed at a huge Ford truck, with an attachment on the back, which held a gigantic cart, with a monstrous box on the back.

I signed the paper he needed me to sign, and the box was dumped onto my front yard. It was roughly six and a half feet tall, and about the same as wide. A perfect six and a half foot box. A hundred thoughts, more so questions, flooded my mind. I decided to just open it, instead of going all crazy in my head. I searched my pockets for anything useful, and smiles as I brought out my pocket knife. Always gotta have it on me. I then proceeded to walk over to the box, and cut the tape from the top open.

At first, after flipping the top flaps open, it seemed like a regular package, with those foam-nuts. Then, I leaped up into the air and back for the second time this day, yelling profanity, while was had scared me in the first place laughed. It was a slender female, who was about my height. Her hair was a spiky and wavy combination of blue and a more cyan-like electric blue, and her eyes were covered by some purple-tinted shades. She was, other than those shades, completely naked.

Then, this new naked person started to speak. "Alright everypony, you can stop your worrying, for the almighty Vinyl Scratch, has arrived! Along with her side-kick, Octavia!"

'Vinyl Scratch', as she called herself, leaned down and practically picked up a second naked pony who was trying to fix her long, brown hair, who I presumed to be 'Octavia'. I was very suspicious, and cautiously started to speak.

"Hey...Vinyl...and... Octavia...What, uh, brings you here? To my house? In a box?" Naturally, I had many more questions, but those could wait. I first had to make sure these girls weren't just crazy, or I wasn't getting pranked, or something of the like.

"Well, we just kinda appeared here after I tried to teleport us home from a long day at the university, and then, we came into contact with Twilight after getting to a computer, and trying to use PE-Mail. I saw Twilight was on, and told her all about it. Then, she told us how to get here the fastest way."

I sighed, partially angry, partially happy. I sighed mostly because I was trying not to go fanboy crazy on Vinyl. Besides Rainbow, Vinyl was best pony. Followed by Luna, of course. Then...Well, I could explain that, but not now. At this point in time, I had to deal with the fact that Twilight lied, probably unintentionally, to me, and I had two more attractive females to deal with...in my house...somehow.

“Well then. I guess...I guess I’d better get you both inside. Follow Dash, she’ll show you the way. Meanwhile, I have to speak with Ms. Sparkle here, in private.”

Rainbow waved them over, and lead them inside, as I walked over to Twilight, calmly. I did not want to come off as a major jerk or anything like that, or scare her.

When I finally did start to speak, I spoke like I would to a small or hurt animal. “Twilight...”

But, before I could even get the first sentence out, she started to blurt out apologies and explanations, all at once. It even looked like she was going to cry. At first, I was going to continue to talk, and tell her about how it was bad to lie, but I instead just hugged her, like a brother would. She eventually became quiet, and at this same moment, thunder clapped. the only movement was that of Twilight, as she hugged me back.

“Don’t worry, Twilight...I’m not mad. It’s just that...I’d like it if you told me about this kind of stuff. It’s pretty important, so I can expect more people to be here. Please...don’t cry. I’ll sort all this out. Now, come on. Let’s get inside, before the rain starts.”

I looked up, as I led her inside with an arm around her shoulder, seeing the now darkening sky. Dash, having watched the whole scene, closed the door behind us, and followed silently. She seemed to understand that no talking was needed at the moment. This was true, until we went back to my room.

Immediately following the closing of the door, Rainbow practically exploded. “Jay, what the hay did you just do?! She was fine, until you ‘talked’ to her!”

“Rainbow...I only told her that she should let me know about these kinds of things. No mean words were even thought of at the time.”

The only thing Dash did was shake her head, and hug me. I smiled.

Man..if I get any more hugs today, people would think I’m just some gigantic care-bear or something!

When she finally let me go I went back upstairs, to go talk to miss Scratch. I found her and Octavia sitting on my couch, still not yet dressed. I took a deep breath, and went to go sit next to them.

“So, you two, I presume, are from Equestria where you both were ponies?”

They nodded, and Vinyl started to speak up.

“Yeah man, so, like, do you have any grub? I haven’t eaten in, like, days!” Her stomach growled on cue, as if to prove her point.

To this, Octavia spoke up. “Vinyl, you just ate at the tavern!”

“Yeah, but still!”

Meanwhile, I groaned. “Listen, please. Food will be served in a sec. right now, we need to find out where you guys are gonna sleep. I don’t have any extra blankets, so out here on the couch will not work for right now, at least...”

“They can always bunk with us for the night.” Dash seemed to appear out of thin air right behind me.

At first, I paid no attention to what she had said. Then, it all clicked into place in my mind. While I did have a really big bed, I just didn't know about having three women sleeping in the same bed with one guy. Then again, it was the only option, besides having them stuff in with the girls upstairs.

I found myself, after finishing my thoughts, looking down. When I hesitantly looked up, I saw all three females smiling at me hopefully. The pressure stacked upon me, and I felt not forced, but pushed, to say yes.

“Alright, alright! Sure, that can work.”

Little did I know, those words would cause such a crazy and eventful night.
