“Is that truly what you wish for?” Chocola’s Question was answered with determination.
“Yes. Can you grant it?” Chocola tapped her chin and smiled.
“Of course.”
Yashe jolted awake and groaned. Mostly out of annoyance.
“Get away, stupid cat”, she muttered at the black tomcat, that sat atop her blanket, “Lemme shleep.”
“No.” Yashe shot him an angry glare, which he chose to ignore.
“Have I ever told you, how much I hate you, Kakao?” He shrugged. “Dafuq do you want?” The cat attempted to answer, but she interrupted: “If you say chocolate, I will personally drag you to Celestia and tell her about your true nature.” Kakao closed his mouth again and blinked. “All my hate.” With that, Yashe slumped back, closing her eyes once more.
Just to literally jump up, when she realised, what her words ment.
“Did you just threaten to tell a pony who I am?”
Yashe couldn't help but stare.
It was not the fact, that Chocola was in Equestria. She had expected that, when it dawned to her, that Kakao somehow found his way to Equestria, as he would hardly leave his witch in another world.
Unless he was reading a book from the demon realm. He didn't want to get banned from borrowing books for lifetime.
It also wan't, that Chocola got transformed into a pony, a unicorn with fur of the color of bitter chocolate while mane and tail had a light purple tone. If anything, Yashe was surprised, that Chocola hadn't been turned into an alicorn.
After all, after a certain incident about 1004 years ago, it was impossible for humans to keep that form in Equestria. Which she of course only knew about, because she used to be a human herself and hadn't lost her curiosity upon entering Equestria. She most certainly was not over a millenium old, that would be ridiculous.
No, what kept Yashe staring was Chocola's Cutie Mark. At first, due to a lack of light, she had thought, that Chocola was a blank flank, since it was only a few shades off of her fur color, but after Yashe activated an illumination spell, she could tell the difference between fur and Cutie Mark.
Yet, the color was the least she found to be off.
"Can you please stop staring at Chocola's butt?"
"Why the fan is Chocola's Cutie Mark an obvious chocolate Kakao?"
Author's Note
Before confusion arises:
Chocola and Kakao are the german names of the two man characters of Chocolat no Mahō. I don't know ~~or care~~ if the manga has an official english tranlation, but obviously, you know how to use the internet. The two are important sidecharacters, so you might want to use our all knowing friend to get some information, but I will work their past into this story.
Yashe is an SI, that hopefully behaves herself in terms of sue-ishness. Considering I tend to give my SIs a few of my own mental issues ... eh, should work out.
Chapter I: Please break that
"You don't seem surprised", pointed Chocola out, causing Yashe to shrug.
"Was the only logical way", she then explained, "I'm not stupid."
"That's debetable."
"I hate you, too." Chocola shuckeled.
"You haven't changed." Yashe turned around for the door, while undoing the illumination spell.
"Not much", she agreed, before she opened the front door.
Twilight Sparkle trotted up and down in front of her castle, nervously muttering to herself. And not just because she liked having mental breakdowns. Because, let's face it, nopony wants to have those. No, her nervous attire had a rather unsetteling origin.
At least, if you think being stalked is unsettling. Which it is. Especially, when nopony else seemed to notice anything.
In all actuality though, Twilight also didn't notice things indicating she was being stalked. All she did notice, was the unsetteling feeling of someone or something following and watching her. She even used pretty much every detection spell she found to be sure the culprit didn't just use magic to disguise themselves. Yet nothing turned up.
Of course, the whole ordeal took its toll on Twilight which in turn did not go by unnoticed by her friends. It was surprsingly hard to miss how stressed Twilight was when she shouted at her friends.
So, they decided to grab their friend and ponynapped her to the Crystal Empire. True enough, spending time with her brother and his wife did distract Twilight, but the moment she was alone, she started to think about her situation, even though once she was within the forcefield of the crystal heart, the tingling feeling of being watched ceased to exist.
Even on the way back to Ponyville it did not return, but now, that she was standing in front of her castle, Twilight just knew once she entered, the feeling would return.
Then again, she had also known that entering the train would cause the feeling of being watched would return. Still, that in mind, the purple alicorn dreaded entering her castle and as such, she pressed her ears flat against her skull.
"So, how long is she at it?", Rarity asked, not able to fully conceal the worry in her voice.
"Since we came back", came Applejacks just as worried reply.
"But that was hours ago!" The two friends exchanged a glance. Considering the trip to the Crystal Empire had been Rarity's idea, she felt especially bad, that it didn't work. The fashionista had hoped, getting Twilight distracted would help her getting rid of this ... unexplicable paranoia, that seemingly had taken hold of her.
AJ opened her mouth to answer, but was stopped as a loud bang sounded through the air and a light orange unicorn seemingly ran into nothing but thin air. "What just happened?"
"Uh-uh!", Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "I know it! I know it!" The other two turned around and faced their pinkest friend as the foreign unicorn got up and glared at ... something.
"Uh, how long have ya been here?"
"About a few minutes. Why are you spying on Twilight?"
"We aren't spying on Twilight, darling, we were just worried and came to check on her."
"But you are hiding behind a bush and were staring at her for like reeeeeaaaaaallyyyyyy long!" By now the unicorn was attempting to continue walking in a different direction. Which would be exactly towards the bush the three mares were more (Rarity and Applejack) or less (Pinkie Pie) hiding behind.
So Pinkie Pie did, what Pinkie Pie did best and jumped in front of the stranger - who now, that Rarity took the time to look at them proved to be female - only to beam at her with a loud and cheery "Hi!"
The orange unicorn didn't flinch, what was a remarkable deed, but instead asked: "You can break that?" Pinkie nodded. "Please break that. I hate that."
"Duh, you just run into it." Pinkie Pie paused. "Doesn't that mean, you can break the fourth wall?" An orange ear twitched.
"No, I ..." the unicorn stopped, seemingly choking on something, before turning to an annoyed look.
"So, you can't even talk about it?" Another ear twitch and a nod were the reply. Pinkie Pie thought for a moment. "All you can do is touch it?"
"I know it exists." The orange unicorn shrugged. Pinkie resumed thinking.
"Hold on a moment", Applejack chimed in, "what in the world are you two talking about?" Rarity could hardly contain her relief not to be the only one not understanding a single word spoken.
"Why the fourth wall, silly", Pinkie chimed, before turning to the place where the stranger ran into the air and waving. "Hello, readers!" Once more the ear twitched.
"I must say, you are taking Pinkie Pie's character remarkably good." The orange coated pony shrugged.
"Meh, I've met worse", she then explained, "By the way, my name's Yashe. I kinda moved into this town about a week ago." Rarity took a step back to look at her. Kinda moved in? This girl clearly was not your average Ponyville citizen.
Her mane was mainly red-brown and short, with just one strand of hair being of a more remarkable length, covering half of her left eye and from a warm green color. Yashes tail had the same brown tone as her mane, but the length of it didn't seem to be fitting the short mane as it was just a tad bit shorter than Fluttershy's tail. A few green highlights - brighter than the strand of the mane - completed the missmatching look.
Yet, it was not unappealing to the eye, which surprised Rarity. She had seen ponies with missmatching mane and tail and usually it looked off or weird
"What happened ta yer horn?" Rarity's eyes snapped to Yashe's head and the white unicorn gasped in shock. From the looks of it - if Yashe's horn wasn't abnormally long - half of it had been broken off.
"An accident and can we not talk about it?" Feeling with Yashe, Rarity chimed in, not giving either AJ nor Pinkie a chance to ask further questions: "Of course, darling." Without a warning, Yashe jumped behind Pinkie. "No sympathy, that's scary."
