Revival of A Guy Who Cares

Location: outside Zecora's hut

As I opened my eyes I felt something different about me...like there's this H.U.D around me...I say H.U.D but it's more like just a health bar and that karma meter from Infamous. But enough about that time to get that punching bag. In the middle of the night...Yeah, that's not happening so I'm just going to go violence a tree real quick. Random quota met! So I got most of the anger of my situation out, so I decided to test some things out like 'Running Speed', 'Jump Height', 'Standing Long Jumps', and also tried to summon a Keyblade, oh come on don't look at me like that. I know you've tried it at least once when you've had a Kingdom Hearts dream.

Well, I found out 3 things from my tests. One, I'm a sprinter, not an endurance runner. Two, the Mario Brothers is absolute bull. Three, still no keyblade. Zecora might get up soon so I better get back. As I was thinking this I was hitting a tree with a stick... I win I guess.

"Anyway, I think that's enough testing for now. Gotta head back to Zecora's hut before she wakes up and gets worried." I said as I started my trek back to the hut. 'Though I kinda wonder how the mane 6 will react to an omnivorous species suddenly appearing outta nowhere' as I walked to the hut I saw the kind zebra waiting outside, I moved a bit faster while calling out. " hey! What are you doing awake? The sun's not up yet-" I asked as I looked up, I realize something. "or is it? I mean I can't really tell with the trees in the way"

I have seemed to forget that I was in the Everfree. I mean really, only rainforests should have leaves this thick. Oh, Zecora's talking I should pay attention. "The sun's been up for a while now, I was worried about you, you were gone when I woke up." I scratch the back of my head while looking away, thinking about how to explain this to her.

"Well you see I had some pent-up anger toward a certain someone, and well I didn't want that to affect the first impression the town will have on me." I look back at her. "The mind is a fickle thing it will not be open to strange things right off the back." Well, psychology aside I still have to give her something to think on. "I think honesty would be best in any situation, so it's best to get it done, right?"

I must have said something right because she's smiling at me and turns to a trail on her left "You must hike that way for the place you seek." She looks back to me."Ponyville is not as shallow as you think." She starts to walk down the path she points out earlier."Just beware of the one of pink."

I look at her weirdly "pink?" I mean yeah I don't like the color but that seems a bit extreme. I shake my head and follow her down the path. I get bored quickly so I said "so what do you think of the townspeople." she looked at me strangely "what?"

"don't you mean Townsponies?" she asked me still making the face. I scoff and say "I bet more than just ponies live there so I'm including all species in that statement." her expression changes to a thoughtful one. She stops with the 'my life's a lie' look on her face.

"well enough about that, let's continue on our way, Zecora." I said starting to get nervous about the way those trees look. after a few minutes, the leaves get less dense and the trail gets smoother. Zecora jogs ahead of me and stops me.

"Welcome to Ponyville!" She smiled and walks further down the trail to the bridge connecting the road to the town.
