Adventures in Equestria: My Perspective

“You sure you're not at all nervous?”

“Um.. no.”

It was a week after I had just proposed to Twilight.

It was going well. Her friends have seemed to approve of the marriage, so have mine.

But now was the hard part: her parents.

We were right now walking the streets of Canterlot, inching closer to facing the two parents of the mare I love.

“Ya sure. I can see you sweating a lot.” Twilight tells me as we’re walking.

“I’m not sweating. Who said I was sweating. Maybe you're the one sweating.” I point a hoof at her, acting all nervous, and frantic.

“Ookayy.” She says reassuringly.

After walking for about ten more minutes, we arrive at their house.

Their house was different from the last time I saw it.

The house was a two story building, the front side being all nice and pretty like, with flower baskets hanging, small gardens along the path to the door, and along the sides of the house, and a few shrubs from one place to another.

The color being a light blue, white window sills, and a red door.

Me and Twilight walk up to the door, me being nervous and starting to sweat.

Twilight just probably being nervous.

(You see, I’m nervous about her parents accepting me because well you see, back in my early twenties, me and Shining Armor had a best friend relationship going, along with Lucky, and King Sombra. (Yes, we were friends. (Just... don’t ask.)) And well, we did some......crazy stuff.)

Somepony opens the door, on the other side being Twilight Velvet.

“Why hello.” She says joyfully. “It’s um... nice to meet you two.” She says a little tone down from her happiness. “Step right in.” She holds her hoof out to have us go in.

“Um...thanks.” I say to her as I walk in. Her giving me an angry stare  as I pass by her.

Ok, this is gonna be a long night.

We step into the living room, the carpet being a dark blue, the walls a light green, the furniture being a couch by us as we enter, two recliners across from it, a table off to the side, and pictures on the walls being of Twilight and Shining’s accomplishments.

I sit down on the couch, looking right at Night Light across from me.

Quick, do something.

“Uh... nice to meet you. I’m sure you’ll be happy with me and-”

“I know kid. If you're gonna try to act innocent, I won’t fall for it.” He leans in closer to my ear, whispering something to me. “Besides, tried the same thing with your soon-to-be grandmare.” He backs up to where he was before.

Ok, this is gonna be difficult.

And did he just say soon-to-be.

“So, uh...Michael it is. Our daughter has been constantly telling us of what a perfect husband you would be.” Twilight Velvet says to me kind of cheerfully.

“Really.” I say in a deep, tone voice.

“Why yes.” She replies back.

I look over to Twilight, seeing a smile on her face.

“I would like to know what you do for a living.” Night Light says to me.

“Uh, you mean like a job?” I reply to him.

He shakes his head.

Oh crap, what do I tell them.

That I’m an unemployed pony who sleeps with mares of both the Main and the background.

“Uh............-”

“Oh, he’s just self-employed.” Twilight interrupts me to speak for myself.

She gives a little wink to me. I give a small smile back.

“Self-employed eh.” He raises an eyebrow at us. Me acting nervous and sweating a few small drops.

Twilight shakes her head confidently.

A few seconds of silence occurs before her mom asks about dinner.

“So, dinner. I made your favorite Twily.” She says.

We all walk into the dining room to the left of the living room.

The dining room was not much bigger as the living room, with their being a wooden table in the middle of it with five wooden chairs around it. There being two windows and a door to the kitchen to the left.

I walk over to the chair at the head of the table only to have my hoof swiped away from it by her mom.

“Oh, yeah, you see this is where Twilight’s father usually sits, and he-”

“No no. Go ahead.” Night Light interrupts her.

“Uh, ok.” I say back.

I take my seat there. Twilight sitting to my right, her mom sitting next to her, and her dad to my left.

“So.. what’s for dinner?” I ask Twilight Velvet.

“Oh, I wanted to make something that I know will make my Twily happy. And considering you wanna be with her, and I just wanted to show you how to make her happy.” She says as a tray of hayburgers comes out of the kitchen and landing them on the table.

“Wow!” Twilight says amazed. “It’s been quite a while since I’ve have one of your homemade burgers.” She gives her mom a little hug.

“I know.” She says back.

There’s five on the tray, at least one for each of us.

I would float over one onto my plate as the others do.

“Hmm, delicious.” Night Light says as he takes a first bite.

Hayburgers. Really.

But I already ate. It’s not my fault that the Hayburger had a 2 for 1 sale. Then I had to supersize it.

Why didn’t Twilight tell me we were eating in her letter.

Then again, I didn’t really read the whole thing.

So then what do I do. I wanna make a good impression.

I lift it up into my mouth, taking that first bite, then setting it back down.

How does Twilight have hers already gone.

I mean, this tastes like a pegasus’s butt.

Besides the fact I know what that taste like.

Well I gotta spit it out somehow. My mouth can’t chomp this down. Who mixes apples and hay in the first place.

Then Night Light started talking.

“Yeah, we got this new assistant down at the office. Real nice gal I guess. Name’s uh.... Mackenzie and-”

“Can I use the bathroom!?!” I interrupt him while talking, mouth still full.

The three all start looking at me weird. My face blushes a deep red, then I start making my way through.

I go through the kitchen, into a hallway, then the next door to my left.

I open the door,slam it shut, locking it.

The bathroom was about medium size, having a counter with two sinks, a single toilet, and a bathtub along with showerhead above it. A small stool  too.

I lift up the toilet seat, spitting out the burger from my mouth into it.

I walk over to the sink, turning on the cold water, splashing my face in it.

“He just....he just said Mackenzie.” I say in a slow silent squeaking voice.

“How did she get here!? There’s no way she could’ve come here.” I ask myself frantically. “You don’t think Twilight knows.” I say worriedly.

Then I hear a knock on the door.

“Ahh!” I scream as I hear it.

“Uh, you alright honey? You know, if you don’t like my mom’s cooking, you could’ve just said it.” Twilight says to me through the door.

“No no.. I’m fine dear.” I say back to her.

“Ok. If you need anything, I’m here for ya.” Twilight says back.

I look into the mirror, seeing my wet, cold face in it.

At that moment, I felt all weird inside. If it’s possible, another girl that I like has made her way to Equestria.

Is this all because of Celestia? Did she invite her here?

All I know is I wish I can get through this without Twilight knowing.

I wipe my face off with a towel hanging on a bar, unlocking the door, then walking back into the dining room.

Only they weren’t in there.

Twilight Velvet walks back into the room.

“Hey, where the others?” I ask her.

“Oh.. Night Light went to the store to go pick up some milk for tomorrow morning. And Twilight’s in her old room.” She replies back.

Old room eh. That’s my Twily.

“I probably should say thank you for your hospitality. It has been nice.”

“Oh, it’s no problem. Just like helping anypony.” She leans her face closer to mine. “Especially ones engaged to my Twilight.” She whispers to me.

“Uh.. ok.” I say as I walk back into the hallway, guessing her room was the one whose door is open.

I walk into the room for a special surprise.

First, I see Twilight laying on her bed, her mane and tail all curled up.

My eyes go all big. Twilight meanwhile flittering her eyelashes at me.

“I don’t deserve this.” I say silently to myself.

I walk over to her with a small frown.

“Wha... what’s wrong? You like me when I’m like this.” Twilight asks worriedly.

“I.. I know.” I take a seat on the bed, laying next to her.

We kiss a little, but not having the same feeling compared to our kisses before. I pull my head away from hers.

“Ok, what’s the problem?”

“I don’t know. It’s just.....-”

“Do you not like me anymore?” She says while tears are in her eyes, face looking sad.

“What.... no. It’s just that.......... I think we should take a break from this relationship.” I say the last part fast.

“WHAT!!” Twilight yells surprised and a little angrily. “I thought... I thought we had something special.” She starts crying. Shat. “Do you know how many stallions I thought were the one, but weren’t. I thought you were it. I liked you. And now your saying we should.... split up.” She says in a whining mood while crying.

“Um....... maybe.” I say quietly to her, giving a fake, cheesy smile.

Here came the water works.

Instantly, Twilight starts bawling her eyes out.

“I know. I’m sorry.” I say quietly.

I think that was the deal breaker as she apparently heard me.

She gets up from the bed, now running into the bathroom. Still crying flood- like tears

I walk over to the door frame, seeing the bathroom door closed, hearing loud cries.

Hm, remind me of anything.

“Um..... alright.” I say quietly, then seeing Night Light come by me. “Uh, this isn’t gonna affect our relationship as father and son-in-law, is it?” I ask him, giving him a short laugh.

He stares at me with an angry look before saying: “Boy, I think it’s time for you to leave.” He points one of his front hooves to what I’m guessing is the front door.

Seeing this, I obey his command.

I walk through the dining room, seeing Twilight Velvet sitting at the table, with an angry look on her face too.

“Um... heh heh. You have a nice house here, and....*

She didn’t even say a word to me. Just staring at me angrily.

And so that ended the evening.

I walked out of their house, going down the path to the sidewalk.

“Stupid...stupid...stupid!” I say to myself, repeatedly hitting my head on their mailbox.

“You had it. You had her.... And you just had to go and fuck it up!” My head lands on the mailbox one last time before sliding to the ground.

Then I start crying.

Well, this is usually where I’ll put a lesson I learned from this experience.

However, I got nothing.

I get up from the ground, tears still streaking from my eyes, walking to wherever I needed to go.

Epilogue

“Ok, here we go.”

I say to myself while standing outside of the business that Night Light works at. I was gonna see if what he said last night was true.

He said that they had a new pony working here. And that pony just happened to be someone that I may have liked back from when I was human.

I would first like to know how she got here, and why is she here.

I took a step through the double glass doors, and to my surprise her desk just happened to be right in front of me.

Buck.

I walk over to the desk, seeing her head poke up when she sees me.

“Yes.” She says to me with a smile. (By the way, her appearance is blonde long, straight hair, skin color white, and a pegasus.) “Can I help you?”

Uh, she’s still smiling at me. Guess this is what office life is like. Well, depends on how long you’d worked there and how it affected you.

“Um.. yeah hey, I have a question to ask you?” I ask her kind of nervously.

“Ok.” Her smile fades a little.

Here we go. “Yeah, you probably don’t remember me but I went to the same high school as you did, and I had a bit of a crush on you, but I was too shy to tell you. So, I kind of tried to forget about you, but I couldn’t. Now enter many months later and well, ta da, I see you here too in this magical world. And so my question to ask you is how exactly you got here, and oh, I don’t know..... liked me a little?” I ask her in a fast tone, giving a quick smile, face getting redder by the second. Her mouth opening, while the rest of her face is astonished.

Her mouth gaspes a little, looking shocked.

I give her a small, worried smile.

“Um.... I’ve never thought of you having a crush on me before, but.” Her face reddens a bit. “You had always catched my eyes.” A smile forms on her face, face getting more redder.

“Oh, um.. Ok. I liked you too.” I take a short pause. “Ok, now care to tell me how you’d exactly got here.” I clench my teeth, looking nervous, shaking a little.

“Well, that’s just it. I don’t know exactly how I got here.” Wait, what. “I believe that me and my team (girl’s basketball team.) were on our way to a game when suddenly an horrific accident occurred.” She takes a short pause, hearing from her a few sniffles. “Then out of the blue, I end up here after seeing nothing but darkness right after the crash-.”

“What, did you say crash?” I interrupt her.

She shakes her head.

“And did it happen to be on the highway?” I ask her soft spokenly.

“Uh, yes.”

Ok, this is weird.”And were you by any chance, playing an hour away?” I ask her worried like.

"I remember it taking an hour to get there to be precise.” She answers to me.

What the buck.

I just stand there, being frozen as water, eyes wide opened, looking at her.

“Um, sir... you alright?........ sir... sir?”

“Uh, you alright?”

I open my eyes, seeing Kenzie staring down at me. Must’ve fell down while blanked out.

“I’m fine.” I say to her, getting up a little.

“You sure took a fall there. Out for like... five hours.”

What. “Why didn’t you try to wake me?!” I spring up, grabbing my hooves onto her body, shaking her a little.

She removes herself from me. “I was going to, but then my boss came by. And well, guess he told me to ignore you and keep working.”

A straight face comes on my face. “Was it Night Light?” I ask her straightforwardly.

“Yep.” She says straightforwardly to me.

I give a short breath.

“Well ok, when do you get off?”

“Right now actually.” She answers back.

Um, alright.

I grab her hoof. “Come with me.”

She looks at me, then my hoof to hers. “And where are you taking me?”

“I need to apologize to somepony, and you're going to help be part of it.” I tell her.
