Why me?
New ponies
Previous ChapterNext Chapter*gah cough chof * I open a window to clear up the smoke. “Why in the world would somepony… check that. How in the world did she make paper explode?” *cough* this isn't Naruto!” as I continue to air out the room a familiar voice made itself know outside the door.
*Knock*knock*” Jessica are you alright in there!”
“I am fine Rarity I... Um... Just found a lit fire cracker in here.
*sigh*“I most apologies Jessica it would seem that you where a victim of one of Pinkie pranks.” What! Does she do these kinds of so often that everypony doesn’t give much thought to it!
“Well am just going to have a few words with her once I ever see her again.”
“Jessica, I already know about how you deal with ponies that annoy you. And I must ask you to restrain yourself from hurting my friends. No matter how much they may get on your nerves. They mean well.”
“Fine, but might I ask. How can I get in contact with Princess Twilight?”
“Please, darling she prefers Twilight.”
“Right well how can I get in contact with her?”
“It not so hard most of the time she is in her castle doing who know what or helping out a friend. And might I ask why her in particular?”
“She dropped by one day while I was in the hospital. And said she was going to look into something for me.”
“Oh, really and what might that be?”
“Sorry, Rarity can’t tell you.”
“But why on earth not?”
“Because you will think I am crazy.”
“Jessica if you have seen what I have been through the last couple of years. you’ll think I have the crazy life.”
“Have you not heard what happen to me this last week?”
“Please, darling those were nothing compared to what I have to go through.”
“I was chase through the wood by a timberwolf!”
“I was chase by little flying insect that wanted to eat everything in sight.”
“I was ponnynapped by diamond dogs, so they can breed me!”
“I was too ponnynapped by them and was forced to do hard labor for them.”
“I was shocked with a thousand bolts of electricity!”
“I had to deal with the rudest stallion that ever walked the face of Equestria.”
“Wait, how does that compare to being electrocuted?”
“Trust me, darling, you don’t want to know.”
“Okay fine so you have an interesting life.” I wonder? “Hay Rarity can you tell me more about it over some tea?”
“Really? Why the sudden change in attitude dear?”
“Nothing really. I just thought that since we are going to living together we should get to know each other better.”
“Very well. It will take a moment for the water to boil. You can wait in the lobby in the mean time.”
“Alright.” I then made way to the lobby until the tea was done. Maybe if I can give Rarity an idea of what might happen then at least she can be prepared. But now how to tell her without letting those ponies know about it?
After a while I got tired and went to check on what was going on when I got closer to the kitchen I starts to hear whispering. “Are you sure about that?”
“Yes, but I got to go before they suspect me. Us protocol red box at Fluttershy.”
“What are you…umf!”
“It's all there just read, got to go.”
“Hello?” I said entering the kitchen. I could see who rarity was talking to, but I did notice her hiding something behind her.”
“Oh, Jessica the tea will be ready shortly.”
“Okay.” I have no idea what happen earlier, but I am 70% sure I heard Pinkie earlier. I then made my way on over to the table to wait for the te… “Wait a minute. Rarity? Why did I have to wait in the lobby for the tea when you have a table here instead?”
“Sorry, it slipped my mind at the time.”
That doesn’t seem possible. How can you forget you had a table in the kitchen? Wait if that was Pinkie earlier then maybe she was trying to help Rarity to help me. Why her of all ponies I don’t know but I better play it cool. “We all make mistakes from time to time.”
“True.”
After tea we talk for awhile and I have got to say. For such a small town it is a hotspot for trouble. No wonder the buildings here were already fix by the time I woke up the next day. By the number of time it has been destroy. it must be a regular accordance by now. The insurance must be throw the roof here, or maybe they don’t have any.
But what strike me as odd was when she started telling me who her friends are. It turns out that almost every pony I have meet is friends with her. Well except that one pony she called Applejack I haven’t meet her yet. But with my luck it is only a matter of time. In any case I also found out that Twilight isn’t the only princess in these lands. There are three others. Four if you count the baby princess.
Although I was a bit bewildered when she said that two of them oversaw the day and night and the other oversaw love. How the last one does her job I will never know. In any case I can conclude that this is not a safe place to be and I am going to have to find a way out of here. But first I must take care of those ponies. I am no fighter, if push comes to shove I normally just wait for some else to help me. But I may not have that option here. Not to mention I have no idea who they are. So even if I get out of town who to say they won’t follow me and get me? Whether I like it or not, I am trap here until an opportunity presents itself. I might as well find something to do while I wait.
“Hay Rarity.”
“Yes?”
“You know how I am staying here with you and your sister and all?”
“uhum.”
“Well, I was wondering if there was something for me to do around here during my stay.”
“Please Jessica. You are a guest here. You aren’t expected to do anything for this household will you are here.”
“I get that, but I just don’t like the idea of getting a free place to stay without doing something for it.”
“Very well if you insist. I got send you on some earns around town if you want. Or I could ask around if anypony needs help with something.”
Let’s see... working with her or someone random each day. I like the latter. “Let’s go with the asking around town.”
“Very well then. I would show you around town, but I have a big order that needs to be filled. So, you can ask Sweetie Belle to show you around.”
“Why your little sister?”
“Would you rather have Pinkie Pie?”
Hum I am not sure? “That’s a bad thing, right?” because I don’t know her personally expect those few random times she showed. But I get the feeling that she is trouble. Like Rainbow.
“Yes.”
“Alright, then Sweetiebelle it’s. If I recall they said something about cutie marks earlier?”
“Right if that’s the case you are better off heading towards their club house… which you have no idea where it is.”
“How about I just go around town and start asking ponies?”
“That would be best for now.”
“Right then see you later.” I said leaving her to her work. Outside is about what you would expect form a small town. Ponies going to and foe children playing around, and there is a pony looming at the road. Wait what? Stopping to look back at the mare in question. She had an aqua blue coat with a light grey cyan mane with white highlights, and has a horn. But what she was doing wasn’t what caught my interest. It was the way she was doing it. Her body was close to the ground and when she found something of interest she put it in her saddlebag and resume.
“Excuse me miss but what are you doing?” I asked her.
Without lifting her head, she replied: “I am looking for clues.”
Okay now I am curious “Clues for what exactly.”
She turns to face me and said to my face with a mad look in her eyes. “Clues about Humans!”
I jumped back at the sudden invasions of space. I then calmed down my breathing and trying to compose myself. How does she know about Humans? I thought most ponies thought they were made up. Wait maybe she one of those ponies that have tried to find humans before like Twilight said. Or she is with the ponies that are threatening me. Either way better play it safe and act like I have no idea what she is talking about.
“Sorry, but what is a human miss…”
“Lyre Heartstrings.” Oh, now I know her. Twilight said she is obsess with humans. That explains how she knows. “And to answer your question. Humans are one of the most interesting creatures ever know!” she said looking away from me with a dreamy look in her eyes.
Okay check that she is on a little bit on the crazy side. And bot all there. Maybe I should leave. Wait, if she is obsess with humans. Maybe she can tell me more then Twilight did. And maybe I can find out how I got here. But sounds like a long shot, but I don’t have many option right now do I. plus it may give me a plan B. “Can you elaborate Lyre. Just how are they interesting?”
“Oh, you really don’t know do you?”
You have no idea how wrong you are. “Can you enlighten me?”
“Sure, but I have to ask. Are you sure you never heard of humans before?”
“Nope first time.” before I knew what happen she look around to see if anypony was looking. Then her horn shined, and I was blinded by a bright flash of light then next thing I heard was somepony else complaining.
“Lyre! What are doing this tim… WHY ARE YOU PONYNAPPING PONIES!”
Looking to my right. I can see a cream-colored pony with a blue mane and pink highlights and she doesn’t look happy. Lyre went to tell the new pony of why she brought me here, but I wasn’t playing attention. The only thing in my mind was, where am I? And how do I get out of here? Slowly moving away form the pair I started looking around for a way out of here or an open window. As I continue to search I found that it looks like I am somepony house. My guess this belongs to the upset mare. Nice place, but what with all the candy around here? Wait that’s a cholate bar, an actual cholate bar is two feet from my face. And now it’s gone, delicious. Am I sure they won’t mind. As I was licking my lips I can see a door slightly open with light coming through. Leaning a little I can see the outside through the door. I look back at them then at the door and did this twice, before running towards the door.
Just when I was a foot outside a familiar feeling of immobility stops me and slowly I am pulled back inside. How I forgot she was a unicorn is beyond me, but seeing as there are someponies nearby, I did the only thing somepony can do in my case. “Help! I am being held here against my will by a cra…” my cry for help was cut off by lyre covering my mouth.
“Hehe. Don’t mind her every pony she just being silly. That’s all. You know finding humans and all that.” I don’t know how that worked but the ponies seemed to forget the idea I am in trouble and went back to their daily business while Lyre was pulling me back inside.
Once again inside lyre closed the door behind as the other pony came into the room.
“You are ponynapping her!”
“Its nothing like that Bon bon. I just have a few questions for her.”
“Can I be put back on my hooves please?”
“Not before I find out why you were lying to me earlier!”
