An alien in Equestria
Chapter 3: Bon Appetit
Previous ChapterSeveral hours have past as Blue fills his head with many tidbits of Knowledge about Equestria, however, there are still a few things that confuse him. Luckily for him, Twilight answers any questions he has… after he finds something to eat. He almost forgot he’s still hungry till his stomach starts to ache. He just can’t concentrate on much any more. Then he remembers the apple issue, when Twilight had pulled it from that odd, white, metal trunk. He quickly dashes back to the fridge and he saw many types of food inside. Twilight, who had seen Blue dashed by, has followed him to see what’s up.
“What is it Blue? Did you find something you can eat?” Twilight says to Blue who seems to be, sniffing?
He then extends his antennas and says “None of this stuff seems to smell good…”
“Wait, you can smell stuff? That’s kind of interesting” Twilight responses.
“I need to find something to eat, I can hardly think like this!” Blue says to Twilight in a not so good mood. He then slams the fridge door in frustration.
Twilight is then to be shocked and starts to back up. Blue looks surprised and quickly goes to apologize. After retracting his antennas, Blue then decides that he’d better get something to eat. But it have to be something not sentient, he’d feel terrible if that happened. Twilight then comes up with an idea! She quickly grabs the apple from before (She had placed it a ziplock bag) and decided to take it to Fluttershy. She can be able to identify Blue’s teeth marks easily.
“Ok Blue, I’ll be right back. Just need to see a friend about something” Twilight says as she puts the apple into her saddlebag and readies to leave. Blue just simply nods and watches as twilight leaves the library.
As Twilight leaves the library is left with a eerie feeling of nothingness as if all was set and quiet.
“Finally, she’s gone...now i can think of a better and quicker way to get food.”He thinks to himself as he eyes the refrigerator and then the door.
“That’s it.” Blue thinks. “I’ll go outside and find food for myself.”
He walks to the door and heads outside, the light from sun scorches his retinas. After a few blinks, Blue’s eyes adjusts to the outdoors. He’s sight is then greeted with what seems like many other ponies. Some of them have horns, other with wings but never both, curious, and others that had neither which just baffled him, were they lesser races? Was there some sort of hierarchy among the different types? Before he could continue his thoughts, a surprisingly good odor floats in the air. It smells, tasty, and...mouth watering.
He then starts to follow the intoxicating aroma wafting in the breeze. As Blue walks, he does his best to keep his tail down and nose to the ground. Most of the crowd don’t seem to notice the Blue sniffing around. Soon he comes to a bush, why would a bush smell so good? He then hears something rustling in the bush. Blue then proceeds to put his face into the bush to investigate. Inside he finds a small, fluffy, white rodent? What he did know is that it was the source of the intoxicating aroma. Almost as if he wasn’t thinking, Blue begins to slowly approach this rodent. His jaws proceeds to open up wide and wider, and even wider all the while bearing his many sharp pointy teeth, which seemed to extend. Suddenly, the rodent quickly jumps and bops Blue on his nose. This causes him shut his mouth and pull his head out of the bush. He then rubs his nose from the impact. He then sees the rodent run away. Maybe it could lead him to something he can eat. He then gives chase after it.
Meanwhile with Twilight, she has arrives at Fluttershy’s home.only to find the cottage empty with a note on the door
“Out to tend to beary’s broken sprained wrist from playing, will be back soon, if that’s okay with you.”
“Darn it, I guess I’ll just have to wait here for her to return, Celestia knows where in the woods that bear’s den is.”
Blue on the other hoof, has come to a river after chasing the white rodent. He has a good feeling that it must of been sentient. That means it would not be a good idea to eat. He then notices something in the river, almost like something swimming in it. He then proceeds to look into the river. Flowing inside where small aquatic creatures. To make sure that these swim-beast weren’t sentient, Blue extends one of his antennae into the water. Upon touching one of these creatures, he sees that they have very primitive thoughts.
“Swim, eat, swim, eat…”. This meant that they were non sentient and therefore safe to eat. He stops to think about how he would catch one of these creatures. As he thought, Blue suddenly felt something slimy rub his face. He then looks down and notices a long, flexible, black tongue. That’s pretty interesting and potentially useful, especially for the task at hand. He then sticks his face part way into the water, opens his mouth super wide, and then extends his tongue out.
Using his tongue like a lure, he wiggles the tip of his prehensile tongue like that of a worm or snake he read about in the books in the library. After a few tries he manages to catch a fish’s attention and bingo, the fish takes the bait and he bites, Blue quickly retracts his tongue and chomps down on the fish, Blue’s many syringe needle like teeth piercing its body, killing it instantly, a quick and painless death for the poor fish, but a necessary death nonetheless. As he got ready to remove the fish from his teeth, he hears a quick yelp of fear. As Blue turns to see the source of the panicked cry and saw a quivering mass of a butter yellow pony with wings, ‘I think that one is a pegasus’ Blue thinks to himself as he approaches the fearful mare only to be pounced upon by another mare before he can reach her, the dead fish still in impaled amongst his teeth.
“Hey buddy, get away from Fluttershy or i’ll-”
“Do what?” Blue asks as he stands up as he extends his antennae so he may broadcast his thoughts to the attacking cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane and tail.
“What are you doing, stop that or I’ll-”
“Do what? What have I done to incur your wrath?”
“You scared Fluttershy and were going to-”
“Do what?”
“Stop saying that! And how are you talking with a mouth like that?!”
“I a not speaking, I am projecting my thoughts to you telepathically.”
“Well stop it, it is ticking me off!”
“It is my only means of communication, would you have me remain silent for the rest of my days?”
“No just stop doing that, and get that fish out of your teeth, it’s creeping me out.”
With that Blue opens his mouth again as he uses his tongue to remove the fish from its impalement on his long pointy teeth and swallows whole.
“That is creepy.”
“I do not intend to be ‘creepy’ “
“But why did you scare Fluttershy?”
“I was merely looking for a source of sustenance to quell my hunger and-”
“Couldn’t you eat an apple or something?”
“He tried that.” Twilight says as she walks on the scene.
“Twilight, you know this thing?”
“That thing has a name, he may not remember it but his name for now is Blue.”
“That’s a stupid name.” Rainbow Dash says as she gets off Blue
“Also get off him, give him some respect, and I don’t think he intended to scare Fluttershy he was just hungry, he hasn’t eaten since he got here.”
“How did he get here, did he fall from the sky?” Rainbow suggests mockingly.
“You are correct, my vessel plummeted from orbit into the atmosphere and onto your planet, beyond that I do not know how I got here.”
“You’re an alien?”
“Logic would say I am.”
“Well are you?”
“Yes.”
“Rainbow calm down, this is just a misunderstanding.”
“Uh girls, your friend there seems to have fainted…” Blue says to the Twilight and Rainbow Dash as points to a knocked out Fluttershy.
He then says, “Maybe we should help her up? Well, you two better help her. I need to wash this blood off my face” to which he then goes over to the river to clean his face off.
“Fluttershy!” The two cry as they rush to their fainted friend, luckily she didn’t hurt herself when she fell over.
“Oh my, what happened?”
“Well you fainted when you saw Blue eating a fish most likely.”
“Who’s Blue?” Twilight simple points a hoof at Blue who has just wiped the blood from his muzzle.
Blue looks over to Fluttershy and proceeds to give her a quick wave and a small smile, “Hello there.” He then slowly walks over to Fluttershy and calmly apologizes for scaring her. With all the misunderstandings behind them the four went to Fluttershy’s cottage and Twilight shows her the apple with the teeth marks, Fluttershy agrees that his diet is indeed carnivorous, but is happy to hear he only eats fish, so she agrees to supply Blue with a few fish everyday to keep him going. With all said and done Twilight and Blue head back to the library to rest after their busy day.
