Chapters Twilight's ordeal
In the map room of the Friendship Castle, Twilight Sparkle was pacing back and forth with a nervous look on her face.
It had been three months since she accidentally brought a creature from another dimension to Equestria by means of an experimental portal spell that had gone horribly wrong.
The creature was sapient and was able to understand and talk with her. It told her that its species were called humans and that it was a male, but not before going slightly crazy as he learned about talking ponies.
He almost hit a depression when she told him that there was a possibility of him never being able to return to his own world, so Twilight had to comfort him the best she could by saying she would do everything within her power to find a way to send him back.
In the first few weeks, she learned all about him and his world, and in return she told him everything about her and Equestria.
The rest of the months seemed to pass by rather quickly as she worked tirelessly on a way to send him back, with him always there by her side for when she needed his help, making their friendship bond grow stronger with every passing day.
But Twilight felt something else grow stronger as well. Every time he touched her, her heart would skip a beat. Every time he talked, she barely heard what he was saying with his beautiful voice. Every time he complimented her, she felt really warm inside. All of this seemed to make the feeling more present with the amount of time spent with him, also making it sting every time he left her side, even if it was for a mere moment.
Twilight tried to look it up in many of her books and studied many manuscripts to see what the feeling meant, but couldn't find anything that could tell her what it was or what it meant.
So whenever she had some time left, she conducted some experiments of her own with what she felt, by asking herself a few questions, 'Question one: When did the feeling first occur? About a month after meeting my new friend. Question two: what does this feeling do? Well, it makes me feel happy when I'm around him and never want to part from his side. Question three:-'
This continued on, one time she even stopped seeing him for a day just to see what it did. It made her sick to her stomach.
But even after all that, she still couldn't say what this feeling was and was on the verge of a mental breakdown because of it.
It wasn't until a week ago that she found out what it was. She had fallen asleep behind her desk when going over her findings, only to awaken slightly as she felt her body slightly move up and down at a steady rate. Opening one eye, she saw that her friend was carrying her within his strong arms.
Twilight looked up at his face and saw him looking down at her with a smile on his face, and the feeling let itself known by tenfold as she then knew what it was. It was love.
She was in love with him, she was in love with the human she accidentally brought to Equestria! And it felt great. Only, how could she know about his feelings toward her? She should ask him, but how?
She was finally brave enough to ask him and asked him if he would come over for a talk. That night was tonight and was therefore pacing in the map room, a million thoughts running through her head, How will I tell him? should I tell him strayed up? Or build up to it? Should-
A knock at the door stopped Twilight's thoughts in their tracks, swallowing a sudden lump in her throat, 'C-come in.' she managed to say, feeling her legs get jittery as the door opened.
Twilight felt warm inside as her crush walked in the room with the smile she loved on his face when he asked her why she wanted to see him.
'W-well, I-I,' Twilight stammered, getting more nervous as her still a secret crush stood so close to her. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath, 'I'm in love with you and was hoping to become your special somepony!' she blurted out in one breath, clenching her eyes shut as she readied herself for his response.
But it remained quiet, Twilight thought she would get at least some response from him, laughing, yelling, telling her she was crazy for loving him. Yet, it stayed quiet for a minute, though it felt like hours.
Twilight felt tears forming in her eyes, Maybe he is so quiet because he's disgusted by the thought of him being with me in that manner.
But she suddenly felt limbs wrap around her frame and something soft pressing against her lips. Her eyes snapped open at the sudden feeling, seeing that she was being kissed by him, making all incoherent thoughts disappear as she returned the kiss with passion.
After a few moments, she pulled back from the kiss, too early for her liking, and smiled at him whilst giving him a sultry gaze, ' So, I'll take that as a yes?'
He could only smile sheepishly and nodded.
'Does that mean you want to stay with me in Equestria?!' Twilight asked hopefully.
He could only give one firm nod, for as he did, he was immediately tackled by the purple alicorn and deeply kissed by her.
She broke the kiss a second time to look at him, 'You made me the luckiest mare in Equestria.'
The end of this story.
Rainbow Dash: Wingmare extraordinaire!
Rainbow Dash: Wingmare extraordinaire!
Rainbow was flying lazily next to her friend. But this wasn't your average pony friend, oh no, this friend was the only human living in Equestria.
Rainbow was the first one that saw the male creature making his way toward Ponyville in a disoriented fashion and was brought to Twilight's castle. He stayed there until Twilight gave the oké once she learned that he wouldn't do anything to the ponies that would harm them.
So naturally, Dash wanted to find out if that's true, for the safety of her friends of course, and started tailing him.
After a few false accusations and tackles from Rainbow, when thought she was trying to hurt somepony, they started to talk with each other and found out that they had a lot in common, he always tried to stay fit and healthy, he loves seeing air shows and reading adventure novels, making them instant friends.
Hanging around with him turned out to the best thing that Rainbow could think of. Not only is he pretty fast on those hind legs of his, even able to out sprint Applejack, but he has a knack for pranks too, even getting her a few times. She tried some pranks on him as well, but he outsmarted her most of the time.
After a few months had passed, he had come to terms that he couldn't go back to where he came from, making the best of it as he lived with the ponies, even trying to get a marefriend, but not having any success. So Rainbow wanted to cheer him up a bit and headed towards the local bar in Ponyville for some hard earned cider. But not before having a bit of fun with him.
'So, how is it going with you these days?' Rainbow said as she hovered next to him, a grin forming on her face, 'Still trying to get a marefriend?'
He just sighed and told her that he had tried everything to get a mare to even talk to him. From sitting down to their level, to making sure he looks as unintimidating as possible. But that didn't work in the slightest.
Rainbow's smile changed to a sad expression, 'Oh man, I didn't know it was that bad. I mean, I can talk to you with no problem and we get along just fine.'
He gave a nod and the two of them stayed quiet for a while as they walked along. Until Rainbow piped up, 'I have an idea!' she said enthusiastically, 'Why don't you let me do the talking for you? That way, you don't frighten anypony and I can make sure that the mares will know that you're as awesome as me!'
He chuckled and said that she could be his wingman anytime.
'What's a wingman?' Rainbow asked with a raised eyebrow.
He told her that a wingman is a friend that helps the other to get a mare to like him.
'But I'm not a man,' Rainbow said with a scrunched up face, 'I'm a mare.'
He chuckled and told her not to look too far into it.
'But it isn't right.' She said with furrowed brow, but piped up soon after, 'I know, I can be your wingmare!'
He face-palmed, 'What?' Rainbow said with mild annoyance, 'It's way more fitting, I'm a mare and have wings too. Just call me,' she took a heroic pose in mid-air before continuing, 'Rainbow Dash: wingmare extraordinaire!'
He laughed and the two of them made their way to the bar.
It was a relatively short walk to the bar from where they were, they entered and took place in front of the counter.
As they ordered their drinks and were waiting, was Rainbow looking around the packed establishment, 'It looks like there are a lot of single mares here today,' she said as the bar pony slid two tankards of cider to the two of them and Rainbow took a great big gulp of it before she continued, 'which is perfect if I'm going to help you to find a marefriend.'
He told her it wasn't necessary for her to do that, but she scoffed and waved a dismissive hoof at him, 'I sort of promised that I would help, and I tend to keep it.' she then took another swig of her cider and went out to find a mare for her friend.
It didn't take Dash long to find a mare and walked over to her, 'Excuse me ma'am,' she said, getting the attention of the mare, 'can I ask you if you're single?'
The mare said she was and asked why Rainbow needed to know, 'Well,' Rainbow started, 'I've got a friend who's strong and has a sense of humour, who also lives healthy and is fun to have in your live. So he was wondering if you were willing to go out with him.'
The mare seemed to be intrigued, and asked who this friend was.
'He's over there.' Dash said as she pointed towards her friend, who was looking at his cider with a distraught expression.
After seeing her friend, the mare declined the offer and left the bar in a hurry.
'Huh, that was weird.' Rainbow said quizzically, but then shrugged, 'Oh well, there are more mares here I can talk into giving my friend a try.'
But every mare that Rainbow talked to responded like the first mare she asked, or said that Rainbow needed to leave them alone.
'Ooh, come on!' Rainbow called out after another mare declined, 'What is it with you mares not wanting to give my friend a shot? I mean, if I heard somepony say those things to me, then I would-'
Rainbow stopped mid sentence, as she thought about what she was about to say, a smile forming on her face as she came to a conclusion.
'Hey!' Rainbow exclaimed happily as she made her way to her friend, 'I found a mare that's willing to become your marefriend!'
But before he could ask, he was tackled by Rainbow as she said, 'Me!' and kissed him for the first time.
End of this story.
The Pinkie games
It was another beautiful day in Ponyville, and Pinkie Pie couldn't be happier as she was bouncing along the road towards her newest, bestest friend.
Well, her bestest human friend.
Oké, the only human friend she knew. But even if there were more humans here, then he still would be her bestest, of that she was sure.
'La lala lala la la~' Pinkie sang happily, thinking of all the fun games they would play.
Maybe they will play a ball bouncing game. It was the first game she played with him when he had come to Equestria and needed some cheering up, which helped as he started smiling when they played.
Maybe they will play hide and seek. She was pretty good at it, but he was no slouch either, even for a big guy like him.
Or maybe they will just lay under their favourite tree with her on top of him, looking into the sky as he would give her a belly rub.
Pinkies eyes drooped and her tongue lolled out of her smiling mouth as she thought about those lovely digits running along her barrel. Silently hoping that, what ever they planned on doing, it would end up with him doing that.
She snapped herself out of those thoughts as she got close to her friend's door, she moved in to knock, but stopped mid-knock as she saw a note hanging on the door.
Taking it from the door, she began to read it, 'Dear Pinkie,' 'That's me!' 'sorry, but I'm not home right now,' her ears drooped a bit, 'Aahw, and I wanted to have fun.' and continued, 'that's because I made a treasure hunt for you to follow.' she gave a wide toothy smile, 'So, here is the first clue: I may look good, but I'm not to eat. Though you can enter me and buy a treat.'
Pinkie scoffed at how easy this riddle was, knowing full well what he was talking about, 'To Sugarcube Corner!' she exclaimed happily, making her way toward the bakery.
Once she entered the shop, she went on a frantic search for the next clue, until Ms. Cake came from the kitchen to check on what was making that noise, 'Pinkie dear, what are you doing?'
'My friend made a treasure hunt for me,' Pinkie said, her smile turning into a frown, 'he said he left the next clue here, but I can't find it.'
Ms. Cake chuckled, 'Maybe you should take another look at your clue Pinkie.'
Pinkie looked quizzically at the older mare, but did what she suggested and read the riddle again, 'Hummm, I got it!' Pinkie cheered, jumping toward Ms. Cake, who chuckled at Pinkies antics.
Pinkie cleared her throat ceremoniously, 'May I require a treat from you Ms. Cake?'
Ms. Cake Giggled at the fancy line before she answered, 'Of course Pinkie.' and went behind the counter to fetch a white box, 'Here you go sweetie.' and she hoofed it over to her.
'Thanks.' Said Pinkie with a smile and opened the box. Inside, there was a note lying on top of a dozen pink and blue cupcakes, she picked the note up and began to read it, 'Congratulations Pinkie, you figured out the first clue. Now here is the second one: To a other shop you must go, where all things green and bright will grow.'
Pinkie thought for a moment, 'I know where I have to go!' She said happily after a moment, 'I have to go to the Flower Sisters Shop!' placed the pastry box on her back and gave a wave to Ms. Cake as she left the bakery.
Entering the flower shop, was she greeted by one of the sisters, 'Hello there Pinkie,' Roseluck said in very cheery demeanour, failing to sound surprised, 'how can I help you?'
Pinkie just thought Roseluck was like that because she was in on the act, 'Hi Rose, did my human friend leave something here for me to pick up?'
'Oh, that strong and tall male creature you hang around with,' Roseluck said, nudging Pinkie with an elbow before heading to the back, 'I'll go and fetch it for you.'
Pinkie didn't know what she meant by that, but before she could think on it any further, did Roseluck come back, carrying a big bouquet with different kinds of pink flowers.
'Wow,' Pinkie said astonished, 'I wonder for who these flowers are.'
'I wouldn't know,' Roseluck said in mock ignorance, 'maybe for his special somepony.'
Pinkie didn't hear it, as she was paying attention to another note that was stuck to the flowers. She took it off and began to read it, 'Sweet Pinkie, this will be the last clue: go to the place we play wild and free, then look under our favourite tree.'
'Well, seeya later Rose, and thanks for keeping the flowers safe.' Pinkie said as she left the shop and headed toward their favourite tree.
As she got to the tree, she noticed that there was a black box lying at the roots.
Stopping in front of it, she opened it, seeing another note lying on the soft fabric and began to read it, 'Dear Pinkie, ever since I got to Equestria, I am glad to have met you. And I can only hope that you'll feel the same too. So I was hoping that you could make this lone human the most happy, if you would like become my very special somepony.'
unable to think of anything else, did Pinkie remove the fabric in the box, revealing a golden hoof bracelet.
Hearing the sound of something walking up to her, was she able to look away and saw her friend looking at her with a loving smile on his face.
Pinkie's eyes teared up and a wide smile appeared on her face as she began to realize that the items she got in the game, were his gifts to her.
Pinkie then leaped into his arms as she proclaimed, 'Yes, yes of course I would like to be your special somepony!'
They ate the cakes together and Pinkie got the best belly rub from her coltfriend.
The end
Applejack’s field day
Applejack smiled as she trotted up the stairs of the Apple family home and toward the guest room that’s located at the end of the hallway of the second floor, attending to wake up the human inside and make him earn his keep if he wished to stay.
Applejack gave a few hard knocks before opening the door, ‘Rise and shine big guy,’ she called out happily, ‘it’s time for you to go to -‘ but as the door fully opened, she saw that the bed was already empty and made up, wilst her guest was nowhere to be found within the room.
The sound of running water coming from the bathroom told her that he was washing up and trotted toward it and gave a couple knocks, softer this time, before opening the door, ‘Howdy partner, didn’t hear you wa-hay-yay-ke-‘ Applejack couldn’t get the last word out as she looked at the shirtless human with her mouth hanging open.
‘Ah’m sorry,’ Applejack exclaimed as she pulled her hat in front of her eyes, not only to avert her eyes from him, but to also hide the blush that had formed on her cheeks, ‘Ah just wanted to let you know that breakfast is ready in a few.’
She then turned around and took off toward the stairs, only stopping when she entered the kitchen, getting odd looks from her family when she passed.
Applejack tried to look busy with breakfast, but froze up as she heard the bipedal coming down the stairs and greeting the family sitting around the table, even getting a giggle from Apple Bloom as he lightly ruffled her main, but said nothing of what happened upstairs.
She let out a sigh of relief and left the kitchen with a tray of food balancing on her back, ‘come and get it.’
After breakfast and the additional cleaning, everyone left the house to go to work. AJ and her human partner making their way toward the West field.
‘Alright sugar cube,’ Applejack said as she came to a stop between him and a apple filled apple tree, ‘this is how we get the apples, we buck em.’ she then galloped toward the tree, then spun around when a mere feet away and kicked the trunk with her hind legs, using enough force to make the apples fall down into the baskets below, standing with her front and hind legs crossed and a smug smile on her face soon after.
Her partner just chuckled and gave her a mocking applause, getting a raised eyebrow from the mare, ‘Alright Mr. wise guy,’ she said with a grin, ‘lets see how you do it.’ and pointed to the next tree.
He walked toward the tree and looked it over for a few moments. Once he had chosen a spot, he spun around and kicked high on the trunk, making the tree shake vigorously and the apples fall down.
Applejack looked on with her mouth agape, but soon shook it off and smiled, ‘Not bad. Let’s see if ya can keep it up.’
The two continued on, going tree after tree whilst having small talk along the way, until they had two carts full of apples.
Taking a cart each, they walked side by side toward the barn, the heat of the sun bearing down on them, ‘Phooey, it’s mighty hot already.’ Applejack said as she stopped for a moment to wipe the sweat from her forehead before turning to the human, ‘Don’t ya agree su-‘ her words died in her mouth as she watched him take off his shirt, a red blush forming on her cheeks while she kept her wide eyes on him as he placed the clothing on the cart and started to pull it once more.
An elderly chuckle stopped AJ from gawking and turned toward the old mare, ‘What’s so funny, Granny?’
‘Oh, not much,’ Granny said as she stopped in front of her, bearing a knowing smile, ‘just noticing that you like what you saw.’ then chuckled some more as she saw Applejack’s face turn beet red.
‘A-ah don’t know what you’re talking about,’ AJ said as she tried to sound confident, but failed, ‘N-now if you’ll excuse me Granny, ah have a apple cart bring to the barn.’ then turned away from the old mare with her head held high, though she couldn’t get rid of the dark pink blush on her face when she trotted toward the barn with a fast pace.
Granny just chuckled at the site and made her way toward her rocking chair.
Later in the afternoon, Applejack and her human companion were resting in the shade of one of the trees, the latter asleep as the former was at war with her thoughts, C’mon Applejack, She scolded herself as the images of a shirtless human plagued her mind, ya shouldn’t be thinking of him like that. He’s a good friend, nice and a hard worker. Not to mention he likes to keep fit and that he likes honesty in a gal. Applejack blinked a couple of times, then frowned, Darn it! That still doesn’t mean ah like him.
Her mind kept battling her feelings, and her feelings were winning, ‘Dagnabbit!’ she suddenly exclaimed, waking the human. But before he could ask what was wrong, did Applejack give him a kiss on his lips, both their cheeks flushed red when AJ released the kiss, ‘Sorry about that, but ah guess ah wanted to tell ya that ah like you, and was hoping you like me to.’
She turned her head away, awaiting a negative reply. But instead got her head turned toward the man with a gentle hand and got a kiss as answer, returning the kiss right after.
Once they both parted, they heard a small squee coming from the side, making them turn their heads toward it and seeing Apple Bloom standing there with a happy smile as she said, ‘Ah’m getting another big brother!’
