Chapter Two

Chapter Two

I'm still having a hard time processing the situation I'm in. I mean I'm in a world with talking ponies and I'm with one of the Elements of Harmony, not to mention the most elegant one among them and I'm pretty sure that most people would think I'm crazy. Maybe their right and I'm probably in a comma in a hospital and this is all just happening inside my head.

On the other hand this could all be real and I'm trapped in the world of Equestria with no way back. Still things could be a lot worse, like being a wanted criminal for doing nothing wrong. Oh wait that already happened.  I should probably mention this to Rarity later, so she can understand the situation if those guards come for me. But than again she'll probably turn me in the first chance she gets.

Damn what do I do?

"Hello!!....Is anypony home?" Rarity said as she waved her hoof in front of my face, snapping out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh sorry Rarity....I was just thinking. What were you saying?" I said sheepishly.

"I asked if you were hungry? You know it's incredibly rude to ignore a lady." She said with with a huff.

"Yes I am in fact....hehehe." I said to her, but she just gave me this stare, like it was piercing my very soul and I actually was kinda afraid of it.

"I..I...I promise to listen closely next time!!! I swear!" I shuttered a bit. I didn't know what was scarier the guards I fought before or Rarity when she's mad. And I really didn't want to find out.

Her glare soon turned to a smile as if nothing had happened. "Good, now we should hurry to the boutique, so you can get cleaned up and we can go see Princess Twilight. After that we can go get lunch."

She soon started trotting forward, leading me to her boutique. I honestly didn't know what happened, because that was the first in a long time since I've been afraid of a girl. I don't know why? But she just scares me.

We soon arrived at her Boutique and I was still surprised by the sight of it. You would think that meeting a famous character from a cartoon was enough to surprise me, but no I had a feeling I was going to be surprised a lot.

"Welcome to my Boutique , please do make yourself at home for a bit. I'll go prepare a bath for you." She said as she headed upstairs, leaving me alone with my thoughts as I took a seat on her sofa. I still haven't thanked Rarity for her help, which made me feel like a little guilty.

I really should make it up her. But how? I don't have money to pay her back, so once I talk to Twilight, I can search for a job. But what would she like? I'll figure it out when the time comes. Until then I guess I should focus on how to get home.

"Mr. Flare? Your bath is ready for you." She said cheerfully. I still felt kind of embarrassed by the fact she had to prepare a bath for Me!

"Is something wrong?" she asked curiously.

"Well it's just that.....I wanted to thank you....for helping me." I said hesitantly.

"There's no need to thank me dear, you needed help and I'm sure you would have done the same if our roles were reversed." She said to me kindly and I could only nod in agreement.

"Yeah I guess your right, but still thank you. I didn't know what I would have done."

"Well than your very welcome. Now go on shoo....you need to look your best when you meet Princess Twilight." She told me.

"Alright thank you again." I replied as I headed up the stairs but stopped. "Um which way is the bathroom?" I asked with a sheepish smile.

"Down the hall to the right Mr. Flare." She answered.

"Thank you and please Flare is just fine." I said to her as I headed up the stairs once again. I still wonder why she would help a poor sap like me, I'm nothing special, even if a spider tells me otherwise.

I wonder what she thinks about me. She probably thinks I'm a weirdo or some massive brute. Oh well....not like I'll ever know.

I never would have thought I would meet such a strange stallion in all of my life. He certainly is nicer then most of those other stallions I've met, even though he may be a bit ruff around the edges.

These thoughts ran through Rarity's mind as she started sketching some new dress designs in sketchbook. She was still having a hard time coming up with something for her latest fashion line, and no matter how hard she tried she felt that none of her previous designs would impress the nobles of Canterlot.

"Urgh....Why is this so difficult? There has to be something that could inspire me to create something that would (Wow) those nobles in Canterlot. But what?" She said to herself as she started again.

Maybe I should take a break?

Rarity thought to herself as she began to put her things away and she began to think of the stranger again.

Hmm...he certainly isn't that bad looking and he looks strong too....

"What am doing? I just met him, not to mention he lost his memories and for all I know he probably has a mare friend searching high and low for him." Rarity said to herself as she shook her head, dismissing her previous thoughts.

I do wonder though how did he end up in such an awful state? Perhaps there's more to this then he's letting on.

"I'll be sure to ask him once he's done with his bath." She said to herself as she took a seat on her sofa and began reading one of her magazines.

Okay so what should I say to Twilight?

I managed to have finished my bath and began drying my hair or mane I should call it. At the moment I was trying to figure out what I should say to Twilight without sounding like a crazy psychopath.

I should be honest...I do hope she'll listen otherwise there's no hope for me to get home.

I soon finished drying my mane and I paused to see how I looked in the mirror. I wasn't going to lie, saying that I didn't looked pretty damn good for a pony. Still it was so....alien I guess would be the right word to use. My coat was light reddish color with a long black mane with a single red streak and bright yellow eyes.I decided to take a good look at my wings, cause honestly they were pretty sick, but I soon remembered that I had no cutie mark and disappointment appear.

Sigh....even in this world I'm talent less.

I had a feeling that I would never get my cutie mark no matter how hard I tried, one thing I did know was that the sooner I get home, the sooner I can forget all of this. So I exited the bathroom and headed downstairs where I saw Rarity sitting down on her sofa, reading what looked like a magazine.

"Oh you're done.....are you ready to go?" She asked me.

"Ready as I'll ever be." I said as I headed to the front door, still unsure if this is a good idea.

"Oh...." Was all I heard from her.

"Is something wrong?" I asked her.

"Well....I just noticed that you don't have...a cutie mark." She said, looking the other way.

"Don't remind me. It's just another reminder of how much of a failure I am." I said sorrowfully.

Oh dear....I didn't know?

Rarity just gave me a saddened look.

Probably because she feels sorry for me or thinks I'm some kind of loser or......

"Listen....Flare I didn't mean to...poke at old wounds and I'm sorry. I was just curious is all." She said hesitantly. "Please do forgive me for my rudeness."

I turned to her, only to see a look of shame and sadness, I guess she really did feel bad for asking me that. I did feel somewhat like an idiot for sulking about not having a cutie mark. I don't know why it bugs me so much considering the fact that I'm wasn't even a pony to begin with.

"It's alright Rarity. You were just asking and me sulking about it is only making you feel bad......I may not have my memories, but I guess I just didn't really try hard enough to...well you know..." I paused trying to come up with the words fix this situation. " You know what just forget about it. I guess this may be a good opportunity to start off fresh."

"I guess...But I should have respected your privacy."

"Like I said. It's alright." I said too her as she sighed in relief, but then a thought occurred to me and I couldn't help but smirk just a bit.

"But now that I think about it...Why were you looking at my flank? Were you checking me out?" I said with a light chuckle.

"W...what? No not at all....I just...oh!" The look on her face was priceless as a massive pink blush appeared on her cheek, I know I seem like a jerk, but I couldn't help it. It was a perfect opportunity that I couldn't pass up. I soon began to laugh as she just glared at me.

"Oh relax Rarity I was only teasing....hehehehe. We really should get going though." I said.

"Urgh...you're just like other stallions and I will get you back for that!" She said, giving me the cold shoulder.

"Uh...no offence to you Rarity, but you don't seem like the pranking type." Said with a light chuckle. From my knowledge of Mlp she's more about fashion and well she isn't really the (fun) type of gal.

Oh you'll regret those words Flare. I can promise you that, not to mention I know a few ponies who may help.

"We should get going otherwise we're going to be late!" She said, raising her voice a bit. I don't know if I should be worried or what, because I have a feeling that she's going to do something horrible. I don't know why? But that didn't matter at the moment because right now I needed head towards Twilight's castle and ask for her help.

I was a bit curious as too which part in the timeline I was in, like am I in season 4 or 5 of Mlp because I didn't want to make a mistake and have her interrogating me or worse.

"Hey um...Rarity? So where does Princess Twilight live exactly?....Just wanted to clarify just in case I need to see her again for more questions." I said calmly.

"Well if you must know she lives in that large castle up ahead." She pointed at the large crystal castle with her hoof.

I must seem like an idiot to her right now. How the hell did I not notice that?

"Oh...hehehe...well lets get going then." I said as I felt my cheeks heat up as I started walking quicker, probably from the embarrassment. I began to hear giggling from Rarity as she followed after me.

But from here on out there was no turning back. Also I'm surprised I haven't ran into Pinkie Pie she's usually the one you'd meet first in fanfic or in the show. I soon bumped into something very pink and when I opened my eyes guess who it was?

Pinkie Pie

"Ops sorry normally I would have noticed somepony in front of me, but I saw this amazing butterfly and I got distracted and.....GASP!!! " She rapidly and in a flash she vanished leaving a nothing but a cloud of dust.

"Uh?" That was literally all I could say while I heard Rarity laughing again.

"Yep that's Pinkie Pie alright she certainly does know how to greet new ponies doesn't she?"

"Yeah?"

"Well we should be off now. We can't keep a princess waiting you know." Rarity said to me as she trotted ahead of me.

"Okay...." I'm not going to lie saying that didn't surprise me. Because it did.

Well this day keeps getting more and more interesting!

I soon followed after Rarity and headed towards the castle and finally get some answers.
