Living With The Past

Living With the Past

"Rasmus Erik Hansen" I heard a voice call out. I turned and looked to see my boss, Steel String Looking at me. She was a grey unicorn with a nice personality while being a bit bulky. She'd be nice to everyone but stern when needed. She listens to you and tries her best to keep the mood of her workers sky high which works well.

"The last human in Denmark known to ponies" she said giggling at me.

"It's actually called [Denmark] ma'am" I replied to her while speaking my mother's tounge.

She giggled at my Danish "When's the last time you had a sick day?" I put my right hand under my chin, thinking for a bit before replying.

"Not after I started working here ma'am why?" She let out another giggle.

"Well, I'm asking because you're never sick and also currently the best worker I have around" she nudges her head in the direction of my co-worker, Butter Rose.

Clumsy mare.

"She's not bad but she's just... very clumsy" indeed she was. Butter Rose was very clumsy, she could rival any other clumsy pony or human for that matter. Aside from her being clumsy she was actually a pretty good singer and a mother to three.

"Tell you what Rasmus" I turned towards Steel String. "Once you finish up here changing the pickups, I'm giving you the rest of the week off"

I raised a hand and was about to protest, when she stood up on her hind legs and put a hoof over my mouth.

"I don't wanna hear it" she said sternly. "I know you enjoy working here because your mind is focused on your job and you find it fun, but I'm not letting you work the rest of the week after you're done with that" She pointed her free hoof at my current work. "Got it?"

I stood there silent for a minute or two. I sighed and nodded in defeat which caused her to smile and giggle. "Good! Now finish up and have a good day" and with that she calmly headed back to her office.

It was weird I'll admit, getting the rest of the week off just like that. My job is working at an instrument store called String Theory. I work at at fixing and changing the hardware of the guitars basses and such when I'm not at the front desk taking orders. I still wanna know how ponies can play these damn instruments when they don't have any fingers! It's probably something magical about the instruments.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I finished my current task then, headed to the front desk of the shop and looked to see a blue teenage pegasus. He's the one who had asked me to change his pickups for his guitar for a small price of 15 bits. String Theory doesn't really charge that much for changing pickups on a guitar or helping putting strings on and tuning them correctly.

"So Prism" I started getting the pegasus' attention. "Missed this bad boy of yours?" He chuckled a bit and got over to the front desk.

"I take that the best guitar fixer has done his magic" He said while I chuckled at his comment.

"Prism, you know that's not true" I said while ruffling his mane a bit to which he recoiled and let out a 'ha!'

"Then how come a lot of ponies here come to this shop to get their gear fixed let alone still listening to your album?" This took me by surprise. I had recored an album a little over a year ago. Of course it wasn't a big hit which was expected, but it was fun none the less.

"Really? I thought that album was forgotten by now" I said and plugged his guitar into a small amplifier on the desk to test the sound. He sat on a chair and strummed his guitar a bit and hitting a few chords.

"Well my mom still listens to the album, she finds it amazing that someone can sing about their pain like that" He obviously reffered to my parents. I started to remember that day but quickly shrugged it off.

"I'm not the first one to do so" I stated which was true. There had been other bands both pony and human bands that had been singing about pain.

"True" Prism replied "But your voice was perfect for the song 'Nothing Else Matters'!" His eyes lit up. "It's because of you I wanted to play guitar" he smiled widely.

it was? I never really thought about it that way when Prism walked into the store the first time and saw me with wide eyes. I thought it was because he saw a human for the first time. I've been played a fool it seems.

"-and you've been nominated!" Snapping back to reality, I looked at Prism who was showing me a magazine about music which I've never seen before.

"I've been what?" I asked and he chuckled

"You've been nominated Rasmus. I'll quote it" he said again still smiling. "'Tragedy and Time' an album made and produced by a human under the name of 'Rasmus Erik Hansen'"

There's no way I was nominated. It seems unlikly, though I kept listening.

"It's said that he made this album to cope with the loss of his parents a few years back. The album is about love, pain, hatred and depression" Prism looked up at me and put the magazine on the desk and slid it over to me

"That's not all it says about the album" he said and packed his guitar in his case which I somehow managed to miss. "Sadly I gotta go, have a good day Rasmus"

He exited the store and I took a look at the magazine for a second. "Nominated huh? Paying it no mind I just put the magazine back on the table and went to go get my things from my locker. I grabbed my coat and said my goodbyes for the day and headed home.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I Walked the road to my house while taking in the sounds of various things. Ponies zooming past me for whatever reason they had. I dunno why but these ponies seemed to lighten my mood whenever I walked near them. It's like a nice little ray of happiness gets shot upon you.

I didn't buy what Prism had said about me being nominated for some music ceremony. A human being nominated for the single and only album he made? Seems unlikely.

I kept walking and saw a small filly look and point at me in surprise, probably because of the fact I was the only human left in Denmark. I get that a lot, but I pay it no mind. Still I kept walking.

"Hey mister!" I turned around and saw a young filly running up to me. "Mister mister wait up!"

I stood still and waited for her to catch up and looked at her.

"Can I help you?" I asked the filly "I wouldn't just run up to a stranger if I were you"

She giggled at that "I know who you are mister, so does everyone in this place"

I tilted my head at her as we started walking again. "Well yes I am the only human left in Denmark" I told her

"So that's what this place was called? Denmark" She had a thoughtful look on her face "Sounds nice"

"Where's your parents?" I asked "I don't wanna make them worry"

She kept giggling "Don't worry mister Hansen. They won't worry" I stopped and looked down at her to see that she wasn't there.

The actual fuck? First I'm told I'm nominated for some music ceremony and then a filly disapears? I couldn't get my head around it.

I shrugged it off and thought that it might've been something I ate and headed home.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I came home at roughly 1:18pm, still surprised that I got the rest of the week off. it's only tuesday for crying out loud! I don't even get any offers for working in the weekends if there's workers needed. "Guess I'm too qualified for that according to my boss" I mumbled.

My house isn't that big either, I have what I need here. A bedroom, a kitchen, a bathroom and a small livingroom with a hall connecting it all together.

I hang my coat on a hanger and get my shoes off. "Fucking great..." I mentally cursed. "More time home alone where all I do is feel guilt" that wasn't exactly true, but for the most part it was. I felt guilt almost all the time when I was home. I always started thinking about that fateful night where my parents were murdered in cold blood.

I shut my eyes at the thought and shake it away. "No stop thinking about it. Don't dwell on the past, they'd never let you live it down!" Feeling the thought drift away slowly I grabbed my Les paul guitar, plugged it in my Fender Mustang guitar amp and then started playing some songs that I had on my album.

I played around for a good two hours before someone knocks on my door. Of course like the polite person I am. "Gimme a sec and I'll be there" I call out for them and packed away my guitar and amp then headed to answer the door.

When I opened the door, I saw an earth pony colt looking at the ground, ashamed over something. I knelt down to his level ruffling his mane a small bit and smiled

"What can I do for you little guy?" I asked.

He rubbed his foreleg a bit before answering. "I-I accidentally kicked my ball into your y-yard" he said almost sound like he was gonna cry.

I chuckled a bit and stood up again still smiling "Come on you don't have to feel ashamed about it Aether, I'm not mad at you" I assured him and let him in.

Ahh Aether. A sweet earth pony colt. When he and his parents moved in, I couldn't believe I was gonna have pony neighbors. It's really interesting actually.

I lead the poor colt over to my open glass door leading to my yard. He went and picked up his ball, which he quickly scooped up and started to head for my front door.

"Ahem!" He turned stiff as if he had done something wrong and carefully looked back at me as I entered and closed the glass door.

"You think you can just come here and retrieve your ball back and nothing else?" I asked to which he nodded slowly. I chuckled at him and went to my kitchen. A minute later I came back with a basket with chocolate in it.

"You're not leaving without this Aether" I said smiling at the colt who went wide eyed in surprise and started wagging his tail like a dog. I put the basket handle over his head and petted him a bit before he headed out my front door and waved farewell. I chuckled and waved him back before he went to his house next door.

"Adorable little fucker" I mentally cursed and closed the door. "Good thing I have you for all the treats I don't like" I chuckled at the thought.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Hours had passed, it was 9:42pm as I was just sitting and scribbling down notes on this and that and creating guitar designs for both human and pony guitars. "It's still fucking weird they can play such things!" I kept metally cursing. I've been to a few shows before where some poines actually were playing on bass guitars and electric guitars.

I made a design for a pony guitar, resembling a lightning bolt mixed with the rainbow colors and a cloud on top of it. I'd been working on it for a few months now. Because of the shape I had to be careful so it wouldn't look uncomfortable or weird.

I looked over my design multiple times to make sure there wasn't a flaw in it. After a good 30 minutes or so just going over the design again and again I decided to email my design to Whammer. They seemed to like all my ideas so far. They liked all my ideas and those designs made their income increase by at least 400% over the course of 2 years. Interestingly enough because of that they're giving me some percentage of the purchase when they sell a guitar design I made. Lots of ponies seem to like those guitars so I'm getting a lot of money unwillingly.

Yes unwillingly. I don't really like earning too much money. I'll have more money then I'll ever need by the time I reach 25 if the ponies keep buying guitars with my design. I spent most of the money on charity since I felt it was needed.

I leaned back in my chair relaxing as I did so. My thoughts started to shuffle around in my head. Suddenly it all went back to October 14th, that fateful day I became alone. Trying to let the thought slide out of my head it stayed and I was in for a trip down memory lane.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I was home it was past 8:00pm and I was playing my now old guitar. My parents were in the famous Copenhagen market known as "Fisketorvet" which was a decent drive away. I noticed my phone suddenly light up and vibrate and notice it says my mother's calling me and answer it.

"[Hello, you've called Danish Takeout you're speaking with Rasmus]" I said laughing a small bit.

"[Yes hello, I'd like to know how your day has been]" my mom said while giggling.

"[It's fine, just fooling around on my guitar. How's the market?]" I was curious. Sure I didn't go shopping much or liked the big city but I wonder nonetheless.

"[It's fine but we're gonna be home later than expected]" my mother said "[Traffic suddenly became very crowed and annoying]" which is true about the market

"[It's fine mom, no need to rush I'll jus-]" but before I could finish I heard some commotion and so did my mother. Something wasn't right and we both very well knew it. There was an eerie silence as nothing happened. It felt like minutes then hours as me and my mother didn't say anything. then it happened.

I heard a gunshot through the phone and then my mother's scream in fear. After the gunshot which was probably aimed at my father hit him my mother got shot, shutting her up. I tried calling out to her, I got no answer. I called the police said there was a shooting going down at the market, to which they responded to quickly.

What seemed like hours had passed. A police officer had come to my home after I told them my address. He kept reassuring me that my parents were fine, but deep down I doubted it highly. Not long after the officer got a call and he talked to what I assumed was another officer. After a while he turns to me looking me in the eyes.

"[I'm sorry to say it pal]" he said and then took a deep breath. "[But your parents are dead]"

I felt saddness take a hold of me and I cried. I cried so much that I passed out, denying the fact they were dead. A month later they caught the murderer and put him behind bars.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I felt tears crawl down my cheeks as I remembered it all too well. My stereo turned on -I must've hit the remote- which suddenly began playing Nothing Else Matters which was the last song on my album. It was an acoustic song with an orchestral background. It kept playing as I cried myself to sleep.

Drink

*BEEP BEEP* "Urrggg... What time is it?" I slured as I opened my eyes to see that I wasn't laying in my bed, but on my work table. Had I been drinking? No there wasn't an bottles on the table except a bottle of soda. I lifted my head and looked around saw my phone right next to me, going on about with it's alarm. I stopped the alarm and checked the time. Barely past midday. I got out of my chair feeling a sting in my body.

"Hate sleeping in chairs... It's so fucking upright even if I lean back" I cursed, probably out of frustration.

Not drinking til I passed out last night only meant one thing. I shrugged and headed for my kitchen to get something to eat. As I entered my kitchen I saw a pegasus hovering in the air knock on my window. I chuckled and opened the widnow. "Afternoon Cloudy, what's up?"

Cloudy, or as her real name goes, Cloud Wing was a slim built pegasus though she was stronger than the avarage pegasus. Her fur was very light blue and her mane and tail were white with a stripe or two of red in it.

The female pegasus didn't look happy. "What's up? Well..." she started as she entered. "You could tell me why you overslept for our trip around town today!"

Then it hit me. The alarm wasn't an alram on my phone, it was her trying to call me on my phone. Oh I am a dead human.

"T-Today?!" I swallowed in a small hint of fear "L-Listen Cloudy, I'm sorry but you know me r-right? I would never do something like that unless I had a good reason for it!"

She was looking me over like predator on prey and sniffed my breath, looking for any trace of booze. She sighed and started looking worried. I could tell what she was gonna ask me.

"Flashback?" I nodded at that. "Rasmus we've been over this, you gotta let go. I know it's hard and it'll take time but it's been years now."

"I know" I sighed and went through my cupboards and got myself two bowls and filled them with some oatmeal. "But murder is not easy to get over compared to normal causes" I finished and grabbed some milk from my fridge for the oatmeal. I went back to my living room with Cloudy and the breakfast.

"I know Rasmus" She said as I poured milk in both bowls. "Maybe talk to others about it?" I shook my head and sat down on the couch with her.

"No even with all the humans who's turned into ponies through whatever means it is, they've long forgotten the horrors of before you ponies came" I said and handed her a bowl and spoon. Cloudy would always skip breakfast, so I tried to correct that.

"You know that branch in the town Ballerup known as 'Forget It'? They earn bits on ponies wanting to forget." I said as I was eating my food. "Besides" I said between each spoonful. "I don't wanna forget my family any way except for naturally. I'd do the same if you were the victim" I finished and put my now empty bowl on the table.

Cloudy put a hoof on my shoulder and I looked at at her to see a weak smile on her face. "Going through so much pain from remembering that day, just to make sure you'll never forget them?" She hugged me and laid her chin on my shoulder. I tucked my arms around her and returned the gesture.

None of us said a word for a while as we sat there. It was like nothing bad would ever happen again. My thoughts started running through my head again and I let go I just couldn't keep holding her. Cloudy could feel it and didn't let go.

"Cloudy... Let go please" I stated flatly, to which she shook her head.

"No I'm not letting you go on with your thoughts like that" She looked me in the eyes. "You're my best friend"

"I know I know but umm... I gotta take a leak" With that she blinked and I could tell her mind just went blank. "You do know I gotta use the bathroom like ponies too right?"

"Uhhh..." was all she could muster before I chuckled.

"Well unless you wanna come watch me do so and maybe have a bit of fun afterwards, I'd suggest letting go" and with that she let go and used her hind legs to push into my ribs and hover in the middle of the living room. She was blushing, almost to the point where her face was like a tomato.

"No nope! Never! Not in my life!" She stammered over every protest.

"I'm just joking Cloudy relax" I said while getting off the couch and then heading for the bathroom "But..." I said from the doorframe seperating the living room and the small hall. "If you wanna be my first mare you can just say so!" I laughed until a pillow was thrown at my face.

"J-Just go use the bathroom" Cloudy said in embarresment which I did to spare her ears and her now red face.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

One thing I'd never expect to see in my life would be that there's no cars, no bikes, only ponies walking around and flying. I was here driving on my moterbike careful not to hit any pony walking around. I usually don't use my moterbike unless I gotta go far and that is rarely. Today I felt it was right to ride it again.

"So where are we going?" I heard Cloudy ask me as she was flying with me.

"To a part of Denmark you've never seen before" I replied with a smirk.

I never expected all the ponies we passed to just stop and stare at me riding my bike but I should've. I only rode this thing during the night but right now it was only somewhere past afternoon. I noticed most if not all of the traffic lights where gone. I was just gonna have to be more careful of where ponies would walk.

After a while I see a unicorn standing in the middle of the road which was normal nowdays. What wasn't that normal though was that he was smirking at me. Having a gaze that looked like he was staring into my soul. It was really creepy.

As much as I hated it I had to stop in front of him cause of one single traffic light being red on my part. Cloudy landed next to me looking a bit confused as she notices the unicorn looking at me.

"I take that you're the human known as Rasmus Erik Hansen?" He asked and kept smirking.

I rolled my eyes "So what if I am? What have I done?"

"Oh nothing mister Hansen, though I have a proposition for you" he said and walked over to my side as I kept looking at him.

"And what prey tell does this proposition include?" I didn't like this, so I pat the back of the bike seat for Cloudy to get on.

"What if I told you all of the bad things you've had happen could be erased?" I've watched enough movies to know where this is going.

"And I have to do what? Become a pony?" It's probably just a bad joke.

"Well someone's a smart one" My eyes went wide. "Yes all I need you to do is to become a pony and all will be forgotten"

I noticed the traffic light had turned green. "Hang on Cloudy" I said and drove off with Cloudy. I do not want any of that shit.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I pulled over next to a small building and turned the engine off. I got off the bike and looked at Cloudy holding my head.

"You okay Rasmus?" She asked and I nodded.

"I'm fine just..." I took a deep breath and shook my head. "What was that about?" I asked.

Cloudy shook her head. "I have no idea. What I do know he's in charge of the transformation process" I looked at her about to ask and she nodded. "Yep! The transformation for turning into a pony" I feared as much.

"Think he wants the entire human race extinct?" I hoped not.

"Well... I think he wants them to become ponies which is all" I spitted out a foul taste in my mouth.

"fucking racist. Think he can just turn every human in the world into ponies, just because he wants to?" I took a deep breath and smacked my cheeks a bit. I smiled at Cloudy and helped her off the bike.

"Where are we?" She asked "Looks like a dump, no offense" She lowered her ears as she apoligized.

"It's fine and yes it's a dump. it looks like a dump to hide a place from certain ponies who wants to ban the Danish liqour" I replied and grabbed the key to my bike. "Now follow me" I said and with that she followed my move through the dump looking town. We walked for a few minutes through this rundown town until we reached a door.

"Now whatever you do Cloudy no sudden moves okay?" I told her to which she nodded. I knocked on the door and waited a bit. There was a small panel that slid to the side and a pair of eyes looked at us. "Password" the owner of the eyes flatly said.

"Cut the crap Steel Hoof, it's me Rasmus" I said and watched him close the panel and unlock the door from his side. When he opened the door, he chuckled a bit.

"Got a mare with you this time I see" he said mockingly and followed me and Cloudy down a set of stairs "I thought you were a colt-cuddler"

"Ha ha... You very well know that I'm into both genders Steel Hoof" I chuckled. "You know that from experience" he blushed hard at that

"S-Shut up!" He snapped and I patted him on the head "I'm just happy we're still friends"

Steel Hoof was a lover of mine, sadly we decided to break it off. We both felt something was off with our relationship. We thankfully stayed friends.

"Oh shush Steel hoof, I'd never break off the friendship we have unless it was for the better" I said as we met with another door. Like the gentleman I was, I opened the door for them. "Cloud Wing, welcome to 'Danskeren' or 'The Dane' if you have trouble pronuncing it like a Dane"

She looked around "Is this a bar?" She asked to which I nodded "It looks amazing!" She smiled and looked very excited.

"Well this bar is special" I said "It's the only place a Dane can feel like a dane with no trouble at all, doesn't matter if you're a pony"

For hiding in a rundown area this place was like a bar but better. DJ booth with a DJ playing, a bartender servicing those by the bar, waiters walking around with food and various drinks, some by Danish breweries. Even if someone got drunk down here there'd be help even from the guards. I loved this place.

"Fillies and gentlecolts may I have you attention please!" the DJ spoke up all of a sudden as he lowered the volume. "It has come to my attention that our favorite -and only- Danish human has entered the building. He's my friend, he's yours. Give a good round of applause for Rasmus Erik Hansen!"

After his small speech about my precence, the entire building turned their heads towards me and started whistling and clapping their hooves together. It felt like I was given the VIP treatment which I never asked for. I chuckled at that thought and headed for the bar counter with Cloudy. As we got over to the bar I noticed a yellow mare behind the counter, looks like it was female staff tonight.

"[Ah Rasmus Hansen good to see you again]" the bartender said. "[What can I offer you tonight sir? The Usual?]"

"English please Kim" I told her and nudged my head towards Cloudy. "I have company with me tonight and she's not very acquainted with Danish sadly"

"Well then" she cleared her throat. "What can I offer you and your mare friend tonight?" She asked as she handed Cloudy a menu card about the drinks and foods served at the bar.

"Bring me an Akvavit" I said and looked over at Cloudy who was struggling a bit with the text on the menu card. "Trouble?" I asked her to which she nodded.

"She brought me a menu card in Danish" she said with a sigh and tried to make sense of the words. I chuckled at her and looked over the menu with her.

"What suits your fancy?" I asked her. "They have normal beer, cider, whisky and all that. You wanna try some of the Danish specialties though don't ya?" I teased her. She pondered for a second and nodded yet again.

"Yeah they got any Danish liqour with raspberry flavor here?" I looked over the menu just in case not to lie about the menu for her.

"Ah yes there we have it, 'frugt vin' which is 'fruit wine' in English. It's got all kinds of flavors" I said "Kim, bring Cloudy here a fruit wine with the flavor of raspberry" I told her.

"Excellent choice ma'am, I'll have your drinks ready in a bit" She said and headed into the back to get our drinks.

"So liking the bar so far?" I asked Cloudy as I turned around and looked out at the rest of the bar itself.

"It's wonderful how come I've never heard of it?" She asked to which I chuckled a bit.

"Drinks are here enjoy" I heard Kim say as she walked off to the other end of the counter to take another order.

"Well it's Danish for a reason isn't it? It's not like everyone's gonna talk about a hidden Danish bar with banned liqour" I said flatly and sighed "Still don't get why some of the liqour gets banned" I finished and looked at Cloudy who was wondering about something.

I grabbed my drink and handed her, her wine. "You've got something on your mind Cloudy. Wanna share?" I asked. "You can tell me everything you want. You've been helping my through suicide so it's only fair if I help you in a way"

"It's just..." She started before taking a deep breath. "My coltfriend broke up with me last week" she said. I was in the middle of a sip of my liqour and I spat my mouthful out onto the floor.

"He did What?!" I asked between coughs. It took me about a minute and some pats on my back from Cloudy to calm down and breath normally again. "He broke up with you? Why? You're a sweet pegasus mare" I said and smiled at her.

"Well... I wasn't good enough for him just because I didn't increas his sex life apparently" she said and I looked at her surprised.

"He was in it... to get laid? I hate those freaks. If he wants some action go find a hooker. He can stimulate his sausage like the prick he is" I said and took a sip from my drink. Cloudy tried her drink as well. After her sip she accidentally burped. She quickly covered her mouth and blushed hard.

"So how's the drink?" I asked and looked at her.

"It... It's very good" she said softly and relaxed. I smiled at her and lifted my bottle. As she noticed what I did she did the same and with that we "clinked" our bottles together and yelled out "CHEERS!" and took a swing from our bottles.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

It's been hours since me and Cloudy arrived at the bar. We've had a few talks with the ponies around the entire bar. Ponies even wanted me up on stage and play some guitar for them. At first I didn't want to but everypony became sad when I refused at first. I changed my mind after that and went on stage to entertain them.

After I had entertainted everypony at the bar, I went looking for Cloudy. I found her at the bar chucking down drink after drink. I got over there and grabbed the bottle she was about to drink from.

"Good stuff?" I asked as a tease.

"Yessssss" she hissed. "I want more pleeeease" I didn't need to ask her how much she had been drinking, or smell her breath to know she was drunk.

"Alright you can have your bottle back" I said and gave her the bottle and looked for Kim behind the counter "Hey Kim? You there?" I called out and saw her coming over to me fast.

"At your service sir" She said. "Need another drink?" She asked.

"No thanks I'd like the bill though" I said and looked at Cloudy, who was shaking a bit. "She's had enough"

"I understand" Kim said and gave me the bill. "There's the bill. Cash or card?" She asked.

I took a look at the bill and saw that Cloudy clearly had a bit too much to drink from the amount of drinks she had. I grabbed a small bag of bits and threw it onto the table. "Keep the change Kim" I said and took the now empty bottle from Cloudy and put that on the table as well.

"Come on Cloudy. It's been a fun day but it has to end sadly" I said as I pick the poor mare up.

"But I don't wanna go to school tomorrow" she said completely out of it "I wanna dance, I wanna hug someone. I wanna fuck!". I chuckled a bit at her rambling.

I carried the drunk pony in my arms out of the bar and headed for my bike. I got us to the bike and put her down on the bike seat near the handlebars. I got on the bike and turned on the engine while making sure Cloudy would hang onto me. I petted her a bit and drove off back to my place as soon as everything was secure.

Fanatics

It's early morning, the sun was shining, yet it was raining at the same time. It wasn't uncommon for it to rain in Denmark, but with the sun shining at the same time? That was a rare sight. I woke up in my bed and rubbed my head while looking around in my drowsy state. I knew I had been drinking last night but only enough to feel a small buzz.

I felt something shift around on my torso. I looked to see Cloudy sleeping peacefully on me while we were under the covers. Wait what?! I checked again to make sure I wasn't sleeping, but true enough I was wide awake. I felt her move and shift in her sleep which made me gasp in surprise. I was naked. I feared the worst of what had happened after we got home to me. We didn't sleep together yesterday. We slept together.

"Hey Cloudy wake up," I said as I shook her a bit. She murmured a bit before coming with a understandable sentence.

"What's going on..? It's my day off, stop yelling," She said and slowly opened her eyes.

"I'm not yelling Cloudy but I'd love for you to get off me please," I said and started to stroke her cheek, to which she nuzzled against my hand. Apparently she liked that.

"Alright," she said and tried to climb off. It was obvious she was dizzy so I helped her get down without hurting herself.

As she got onto the carpet on my floor she sat down and rubbed her eyes. I pulled the cover over me again which was moved when she got out of the bed. Her mane and tail were completely ruined. I'd let her use the bathroom for all the time she'd need to fix it.

"What happened last night? My head hurts, my legs are shaking and I feel like I got run over by a cart," She said and looked at me. Her eyes went wide as she saw what I hoped she didn't. I looked away and I felt my face turn a crimson red.

"Is.... Is that.... Are you pitching a tent?!" She almost yelled. I felt my heart beat fast in fear. There was no point in lying so I just nodded.

"Yeah.... I didn't know I was naked before I woke you up," I admited. I was waiting for a hoof to smack across my face. It never came. I looked at her to see she was blushing as well as me.

"Did.... Did you like it?" She asked. What? I was dumbfunded. "Did you like it?" She asked again completely ignoring her hangover.

"I... I did," I said and got out of bed completely naked. "It was amazing, even with the alchohol running through our systems." It seemed to cheer her up enough to give a weak smile.

She rubbed her forlegs together in embarresment from what had happened last night. I scooped the pegasus up and hugged her. "I'm sorry," I said and stroked her back to calm her down. It seemed to work as she laid her chin on my shoulder and nuzzled against my cheek.

It wasn't long before she started holding her head. Her hangover came back and she groaned in pain. I put her down and got out of my bedroom. I came back a minute or two later with a glass of water which I gave her. I had taken a bottle of pills with me and gave her a pill. She took the pill in her mouth and drank the water to swallow it.

"That'll subdue the pain in a few minutes," I said and took the empty glass then put it on my nightstand. She muttered a 'thank you' as she tried to cope with her hangover.

I checked my wrist watch to see that it was only 9:29am. I grabbed a pair of underwear and looked at the poor mare on my carpet holding her hooves against her head. I picked her up and headed for the bathroom with her.

"What are you doing?" She asked as I put her in the bathtub. I chuckled at her not seeing the obvious as I turned on the water.

"I'm about to give you a relaxing bath Cloudy," I replied and grabbed some soap as the tub was filling. It took a few minutes before the tub was filled and I could tell she was relaxed with the water soothing around her body.

I never expected to wash a mare in my life. Sure I have washed Steel Hoof a few times but we were lovers as well at the time yet here I was, washing my best friend of the opposite gender. I soaped her body in and earned a few giggles from her.

"I've never had a stallion wash me." she said. "And here you are a human male washing me a pegasus mare," she finished and kept giggling.

"Well someone's gotta wash your hungover flank Cloudy," I said and started washing her stomach.

I must admit I never had a good look at her body like I did right now. Her body was nicely slim and her flank was nicely round. She was a beautiful mare I could get behind anytime. I shook my head. She's your friend don't try to ruin it with your dirty thoughts.

I kept washing her with no trouble, at least until her flank and her privates were left. I removed my hands and tapped her shoulder a bit. "Hey Cloudy, I'm done washing you," I said even though I knew she wasn't completely clean.

"huh wha?" She had enjoyed the bath so much she had forgotten I was washing her. "Oh thanks Rasmus," She said as
she smiled at me. I grabbed a towel.

She climbed out of the bathtub and looked fresh and awake. I helped dry her with the towel, starting with her mane then her neck, waist and so on. After drying her I put a hand to my mouth as I tried to suppres a laugh. She tilted her head
in confusion as she looked at me.

"What's wrong?" She asked only for me to burst out laughing. I pointed at the bathroom mirror telling her to go look at herself. As she took a look in the mirror she dropped her jaw in a manner of speaking. Her mane was so puffy it was like she had an afro on her head.

"Oh ha ha you funny buckface," she cursed at me and began to fix her mane with a brush I had laid ready for her. "You keep on laughing and it'll come bite you in your rear," She said as I entered the semi warm water in my bathtub.

"What? It's not my fault your mane turned into an afro," I said and started to soap myself and started to wash myself. "Besides you have that brush to fix your mane and tail," I smiled at her as she fixed her mane. I thought it was neat ponies could do their manes themselvs without fingers.

As I sat in the bathtub washing myself I heard a knock on the front door. I asked Cloudy if she could get it. She nodded. She left the bathroom, closing the door and opened the front door. I heard a voice I didn't want to hear. It belonged to the unicorn that gave me that proposition yesterday. Did he know I lived here? God I hoped not.

I heard the door close after a few minutes. Was he in my home? I sat still in the bathtub for what felt like hours. Cloudy came back into the bathroom. I looked at her and she looked worried. This wasn't good at all.

"It's the unicorn from yesterday," She said. "He knows you live here. I told him you were at work and didn't know where it was," fuck. It wasn't gonna be easy getting out for my home now that the unicorn knew where I lived.

"Is he really gonna be that persistent?" I asked no one in particular. "I just want a normal life for fuck's sake," I cursed as I finished my bath.

"I dunno what his problem is Rasmus but he creeps me out," Cloudy said as she shivered a bit. I was out of the bathtub and had pulled the cork that kept the water in the tub and was drying myself.

"Whatever he wants I'm not interested," I said and finished drying off. "Pass me my boxers would you?" I asked Cloudy and she did.

"Why do you insist on wearing clothes?" She asked "You know you're the only human in Denmark," I got my boxers on and sighed. This was not the first time she asked me.

"It's because that's how us humans are raised. Besides do you want to see me walking around with my junk swinging about all the time?" I asked. I'd never go into the public naked unless I became a pony.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I hate when it's both sunny and raining. I had taken my coat on as me and Cloudy left my home but I was starting to regret that. It was getting relatively hot for me. Cloud and I were headed for String Theory. I needed to go take a look at what they got in store since thursdays is where the store usually got new stock on guitars, pedals, amps and so on.

"So you got any business at String Theory?" I asked Cloudy. "I've never seen you there and I work there," I stated curiously

"Well I'm enjoying your company so I thought why not? I went with you as well since my sister works there," She said. I never knew her sister worked there. I've been working there for more than one and a half year and I never knew.

As we arrive at the store I saw some poor unicorn colt sitting outside the store crying. Why he was crying I didn't know, but I was about to find out. I told Cloudy she could head in while I figured out what happened to the colt. I walked over to the colt and knelt down and put a hand on his shoulder. He looked up at me.

"What's wrong pal?" I asked him. He took a foreleg and rubbed his snout before replying.

"S-Some big meanies kicked me out of the store," He said. He wasn't lying, he had marks a few places that indicated hard physical contact. I picked him up to which he yelped a bit.

"Don't worry they won't kick you out again, I'll make sure of it" I said as we entered the store. There we ponies looking and buying all sorts of things. I put the unicorn colt down and told him to come get me if he was gonna get kicked out again. I went into the back employee area to my locker. I opened my locker and grabbed my store key so I had free access to the store.

I met Steel String on my way out of the employee area. "Excuse me, I thought I told you to take the rest of the week off," she said and furrowed her brow at me. I chuckled at that.

"You know I always check out the new stock we get on thursdays right?" I asked her to which she nodded. "Well I'm grabbing my key so I don't have to come looking for you or whoever is working is today,"

"I guess that's fair enough," Steel String said "Just don't start working and I'm happy," She said with a stern tone in her voice and was about to leave.

"Hey is there a bunch of colts around in here?" I asked he. She nodded.

"There's some around in the area that has most of our electric guitars and most of your designs on display," she replied. "Why?"

"A unicorn colt were sitting outside of the store bruised and crying, said he was kicked out by them," I told her. "He's gonna come looking for me if they try that again," I finished and headed out to check the new stock.

I walked past a lot of ponies, some even asked me about various things about the store and the products. I told them what I knew. I walked through the back area of the store. I saw a bunch of colts looking at my designs and making jokes about this and that. A lot of the jokes were about genitalia.

I paid them no mind and headed for a door in the back of the room only to stop as a colt noticed me. "Look it's the human that designed the guitars!" He practically yelled and pointed at me.

I didn't need this today. I turned around to see the small group of colts now were wagging their tails and looking excited. It was like a puppy being happy about something it did.

"Can I help you?" I asked, which I quickly wished I didn't. I was bombared with questions about music, humans, and autographs. It was a nightmare.

I unlocked the door and went to check the new stock and to get some peace. The stock was some new guitars, a few amps and string packets. The only interesting thing I found in the stock was the 5-string basses. they were all sunburst models but other than that I was unsure.

I picked one of the instruments up and felt it in my hands. It felt great. The fretboard, the strings. I plugged it in the testing amp to see if it was working. It did and had a very deep tone. I was gonna buy this thing. I checked the price and saw it at 649 bits. It was within budget. I grabbed the instrument and went out the room. I locked the door again and headed for the front desk and grabbed a bass bag on the way.

I got to the front desk and put the bag and bass on the table since no one was being serviced. I got it paid and packed the bass into the bag and swung it onto my back. I saw Cloudy chatting with Steel String and decided to head over to them. "Hey you two," I said. "You two seem happy,"

"Yeah we're talking about family, we're sisters after all," Steel String said. "I'm sure little Cloudy here told you right?" I shook my head.

"She never told me. I'm a bit surprised actually," I said. "I'm gonna take a guess that your father is the pegasus and your mother the unicorn in the family," I chuckled.

"You're right," they both said and giggled. "Yes you are indeed right," Cloudy finished. I chuckled at them. We had a small chat.

"So... Boned my sister yet?" Steel string asked me. Both me and Cloudy looked at each other and blushed before looking away from each other. "Have you?" Steel String asked again.

"Well... Alchohol has it's side effects," Cloudy said hesitant. "So yes we've done it, but we didn't even mean to," Cloudy finished as I stood blushing like an idiot. Figuring out Cloudy is my boss' sister and then Cloudy telling her we've done it. Great. Thankfully Steel String didn't seem to mind.

As we kept talking, Steel String kept teasing me and Cloudy. our conversation was cut short as we heard something topple and a loud yelp of pain. Not good in the slightest. I quickly headed towards the sound and found the group of colts laughing at something. I turned my head to see what they laughed at, it was the unicorn colt crying again but covered in brusies. There was also a trail of blood coming from his nose whilst he was sitting in a pile of guitar effect pedals.

"Hey!" I shouted at the colt group who looked at me. "If you're here to cause damage get out," I said in an angry tone. Steel String and Cloudy game to see what was going on.

"Excuse me, sir? He spat at your work, called it lame, said he's seen better," I frowned hard at what I assumed the leader colt said. A colt group heavily in love with my guitar designs? Fan-fucking-tastic.

"I don't care what he said or did about my work, it's his own opinion," I told them and picked their leader up by the tail. He
yelped and tried to get down.

"Ow ow ow! Let go of my tail!" He demanded as he tried to get free from my hold. He couldn't but he didn't stop trying.

"Now listen here and listen closely," I told him. "You and your little group of friends are gonna leave the store for the day, got it? Because if I find you causing more damage to anyone or anything in this store again, I'll make sure you'll stay out for good!" I snarled and pointed at the door. "Out, all of you!"

Normally I'm good with kids, that's only if they behave though. I picked up the unicorn from the pedal pile and headed to the front desk. I put the crying colt on the front desk and grabbed the first aid case from a shelf under the desk. I took a small packet of disinfect tissue paper, opened the packet and started to clean his wounds. Some of the brusies were really bad and I didn't take a chance of him risking infection.

"I'm sorry if it hurts pal," I told him as I cleaned his wounds. I knew how it felt having this kind of tissue paper brush against my wounds. Not pleasent.

"I-It's fine," he said and sniffled. Steel String used her magic to clean the blood from his nose, using some normal toilet paper. "I want my mommy," he sniffled again. Understandable.

"Once we've cleaned you up, I'll follow you home," I reassured him. He muttered a small 'thank you' and hugged me. Poor kid.

A few minutes later me and Steel String got the unicorn colt fixed up. He had a few band aids on him. I picked up my bass bag with my bass inside and picked the bruised foal up. I said my goodbyes to Cloudy and Steel String then headed out the store and followed the colts instructions of getting him home.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I had been carrying the colt in my arms for about 20 minutes before we reached his home. I knocked on the door and hoped someone would answer. The door opened to reveal the unicorn the same unicorn with the proposition about forgetting. Great. He didn't pay attention to me at first as he noticed the young colt in my arms.

"Star Trail! What happened?" the stallion -which I assumed was the father- asked. "Was it this human?" He asked glaring at me. I rolled my eyes at his remark.

"No dad. It was a group of colts," Star Trail defended me. I put him down and let him walk in. "He helped me feel better," he said smiling at me.

"I see..." his father said. "Go in to your mother, I'll talk with the human for a bit," he knelt down and nuzzled Star Trail before the young unicorn went inside. Now it was only me and father.

"I owe you a thanks," He said turning his head towards me. "I guess I was wrong about you being like most humans. You have a kind heart against us ponies compared to most humans," he sighed.

"Let me guess. Most of the humans were forced to be transformed into ponies, only because they were too dangerous even for themselves right?" the unicorn nodded.

"We did it to make them not as... 'wild' as they once were," he said. "We messed with their memories about being human. We've only made them think they were ponies their entire life nothing else. Only the violent humans were forced through that treatment," he continued. "The ones who were calm about us ponies had a choice. I've just been very cautious about you. You're different." I didn't get it though. Different? Yes I'm not like the other humen because I'm me.

"Tell you what," he said. "I'll tell you what you want to know over a cup of coffee or something tomorrow deal?" He stuck his hoof out waiting for me to shake it. I was a bit skeptical but I felt some good vibes now that I had helped his son. I shook his hoof with my hand.

"The coffee shop beside the shopping mall at 12:30pm," I stated. "I'll be waiting," I finished.

He nodded and I left for my home. It would take about an hour to get home but I didn't complain.

Coffee

Author's Note

This chapter is gonna have a depressing part in it and since I can't put the "Comedy" and "Sad" tags on the story at the same time I'll have to tell you guys.

Coffee

Where are you Unicorn? it's 12:35. I was sitting inside a coffee shop known as, 'Coffee, Cream and Cakes.' it was a pretty cool place, though I wasn't here for relaxing. I had a deal with a unicorn who was running late. We had agreed to meet here at the coffee shop, where he'd answer some questions about all the humans in Denmark that are now ponies. Except for me.

There was a sound of a bell ringing as the door to the shop opened. Lord behold there he was, the unicorn. He took a quick gander, probably looking for me. I whistled at him and he turned around and noticed me. He started walking over to me with a... smile on his face?

"You seem happy," I said as he got into the seat in front of me. "You won some sort of lottery or something?" I joked at him.

"Very funny mister Hansen, but no." He didn't seem to have a great sense for humor. "I do assume you want some answers right?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow. Something was off but I didn't know what. A stallion came over and put a glass with a brown liquid in front of me. I tipped him a few bits before he left the table.

"So tell me... Who are you exactly?" I asked. He knew my name might as well know his name.

"Ah, pardon for not stating my name," He said as and cleared his throat. "My name is Winter Ace. Born and raised in Canterlot as the first of four foals. My family was wealt-" I raised a hand to stop him.

"Easy Ace, no need to go through your family story," I stated flatly. "I don't like talking about family anymore." He chuckled a bit at that. What's funny about a guy who doesn't like talking about family while drinking some coffee? I don't get these ponies.

"I noticed. Murder was it?" He asked in a creepy yet curiously tone. "Murdered while on their way home from the Copenhagen market about three years ago?" How did..?

"How do you know that?" I asked, trying my best to keep my head cool and not sound intimidated. "Only two ponies know that story." I took another sip from my drink. He must've guessed. There's been a lot of murder attempts near the market. He chuckled again at me.

"Magic and will is a great thing isn't it?" He said. "Now you had some questions right?" Ace eyed me curiously. I wish he would stop that. I sat there for a few seconds like I didn't understand a thing he just said. I shook my head and calmed down.

"Yes... Why did your princess, agree to the project of yours?" I asked. I wanted to know the story from a pony working at it, not just some newspaper saying this and that.

"Now that's a good question," Ace said with a smirk. "The reason Celestia agreed to this 'little' project of ours, is because she wants the wars to end." The wars?

"Wait wars? Like the world wars and the wars in Syria and such?" I asked to which he nodded. "But not all humans will agree, you know that. Now if you wanted the humans to stop wars you'd have to make sure that there's..." Then it hit me. If there were no humans there'd be no wars. That was the idea for the project? To end wars?

"You seem to have catched on mister Hansen. If your race doesn't exist, how do you wage wars?" Ace said as smirked at that. I did not like that question. "We ponies have been at peace with each other, aside from... a few 'disageements' at our upper ranks of society." Really? 'disagreements'?

"So you're saying you ponies don't go to war?" I asked. Ace nodded. "Ponies don't kill anyone with something sharp, blunt or magical?" He nodded yet again. Liar.

"We've never been at war and never will be," he said. I couldn't believe it. I rolled my eyes and drank some more of my coffee. I needed to go tell Cloudy about this.

"Alright I have one more question," I told Ace. He looked interested. "Are you going to ponify me?" He looked at me as if I was joking. He sat there, silent just staring at me for a few seconds before he started laughing. Prick.

"Good one! That's a good one," he said between laughs. I kept looking at him not even the faintest hint of a joke. He stopped laughing as he saw my facial expression. "You're serious?" He asked. Why would I not be.

"Well are you?" I wanted an answer dammit. I finished my coffee and looked at him, waiting for an answer.

"How should I say this? I don't like lying to anyone, even if they aren't ponies," he started. He'd better not. "I'm sorry mister Hansen. It's my job to make sure Denmark is to be free from humans. What Celestia doesn't know, doesn't hurt her." He looked at me. My heart was racing, it was the only thing I could hear in my ears.

He jumped off of his chair and walked over to my side. I could tell he wasn't pleased about doing this. His horn lit up. He's not strong enough to turn me into a pony with his magic. Right? I muttered a small 'thanks' for his honesty before striking him in the side with my fist. He fell over. I probably had hit him in the lung and knocked the air outta him. I didn't know what to think so I ran to my bike outside the shop. I normally don't hit anyone but unless it's against my will you better fucking believe I'll hit someone.

I got on my bike and started it. I could hear Winter Ace throwing curse words at me like he was trained at it. I can't believe I thought it was just gonna be a meeting. I don't know what he was about to do but I do not want any of it. Didn't matter I drove away as fast as I could.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I've been driving for about an hour making sure I wasn't followed by anyone, especially Winter Ace. I parked my bike over by Cloud Wing's house and turned it off. She fucking better be home, I'm not risking going home. I went to the front door and knocked on it in hopes of Cloudy being home. It took a minute or two but she opened the door.

"Rasmus? What're you doing here I just got home from work ya know," she said in surprise. "What can I do for you?" Alright easy don't sound like a creep.

"Well could you let me in? I need to talk to you about something," I said in a manner that made her blush a bit. "It's not that. I'll explain everything." Oh this was gonna be an interesting reaction from her. She let me in and locked the door behind me. Just from entering her home I could tell it was kinda big for a single pegasus like her. We walked into her living room where she offered me a glass of water which I politely refused.

"So what's this about?" Cloudy asked as we sat down on her couch. "If it's not about you and me having a roll in the hay a few days ago, why's it so important?" She looked at me. Her bright green eyes looked into mine, trying to figure out what had happened.

"Remember that one unicorn stallion?" I asked, as I reffered to Winter Ace. She nodded. "That kid from yesterday was his son. We had a talk and agreed to meet today." I took a deep breath. "We had our meeting where I was allowed to ask all the questions I wanted, granted I only had a few but I got answers" I tried to keep calm but it was hard. "He almost used some magic on me, after telling me he was gonna ponify me even after taking care of his son." I knew that I couldn't move outdoors as freely as I did yesterday.

"Hey, hey it's alright you're away from him and you're here." Cloudy said and puts her front hooves on my shoulder. "Just take it easy ok? Stay for as long as you need to. I'll help you out like I did back when you felt like doing suicide." She hugged me. I hugged back and tried to hold back some tears.

"I'm sorry," I said as guilt was going over me. "Everything seems to be my fault as of late." I probably should've shut up, because at that moment Cloudy looked into my eyes with anger.

"It is not!" She snapped at me. Where did this come from? "It's not your fault! Your parents' death? Not your fault. The kid from yesterday? Not your fault. It's also not your bucking fault, you have a racist bucking excuse for a unicorn wanting to ponify you!" Cloudy had snapped at me. I looked at her, surprised to see her do such a thing.

"Cloudy I...." I tried to speak but she cut me off snapping at me again. And was that tears forming in her eyes?

"Shut up! Just shut up!" She snapped again shaking as she spoke. "You wanna know one thing Rasmus? I want you. I've wanted you for a long bucking time." This... I couldn't believe what she was saying. She looked down and had closed her eyes, tears starting to fall. I wrapped my arms around her and held her close.

"Hey, I'm here just let it all out," I said as I stroked her back. She sniffled, she was on the verge of crying. "Let it all out." She leaned her head over my shoulder and rested her chin on it. As I tried to calm her down I looked back down memory lane. Then I saw it. She had given me a lot of hints that I didn't know at the time. their culture wasn't printed into my mind. Sure she's beautiful and all but I didn't want to tempt our friendship and ruin it. Idiot! Fucking hell she's probably feeling heartbroken because of you! Fix it!

I leaned my mouth next to her ear and whispered "Such a beautiful mare shouldn't be crying over a heartbreak that is unlikely to happen." She looked at me with her green eyes. They were watery but beautiful. "It's not over before it begins." I smiled a bit. She sniffled again, then planting a firm kiss on my lips. It's been a while since I've had anyone kiss me like that. It felt... great.

It lasted for a while, but she let go of my lips and smiled at me. "T-Thank you," was all she could say while blushing. I ruffled her mane a bit trying to cheer her up.

"No, it's me who's saying 'thank you' Cloudy," I said and scratched her behind her ear a bit. "Sorry for not... noticing your hints back then. I wasn't very well with your pony culture." I chuckled nervously. I was actually relaxed for once like really relaxed. I regret not picking up on her hints earlier but what could I do? When you don't understand ponies it's hard to know what they want.

"So," I started. "Can I stay or do you want me to-?" I asked, but before I could finish she gave me a kiss on the cheek. I think that's a way of saying 'stay.' I chuckled and started to run my fingers through her mane. She laid down her head in my lap clearly melting at the touch. Guess I found her sweet spot. I started to remember our first meeting a few months after my parents' passing.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I was sitting on my knees in front of my parents' grave, quietly shedding tears onto the ground. I was wearing my fine suit when I visited their grave, I'd always do that. I knew the murderer was behind bars, but he only got about 30 years. I wanted him dead. He took my family from me. I laid a bouquet of flowers on the grave and got up. I walked over to a nearby, tree which I had thrown a rope over a branch and tied it to the trunk. I had tested the branch, it was able to carry my weight. The rope that was hanging had been tied into a noose which was gonna have very much use in a second. I climbed onto the branch, put the noose around my neck and was about ready to drop and end it all.

"Stop!" I heard someone call out. "Do not do it!" The same voice called out, clearly female. I looked and saw a lightblue pegasus. Ponies were slowly but steadily arriving in our world. I wasn't surprise but I kept looking at her without saying a single word. I could tell she was paniced from the wide eyes she had going on.

"Don't do it, I'll come over!" She said. I didn't think at all as I looked at the ground beneath me. Time must've slowed down, or it felt like it at least. I jumped off the branch, only to be stopped a second later by the rope tightening around my neck and was now choking me. It was painful. I felt myself gasping for air but I knew it was only natural for my body to do so. It needed air to survive. I closed my eyes waiting for it to end. But it never came.

I fell onto the cold ground, coughing and gasping for air. I opened my eyes but everything was blurry and everything sounded so faint. Did the branch break? No, impossible I tried hanging from it with my arms earlier. I weakly looked over at the trunk to see the same pegasus and the rope laying around the trunk and not tied. She saved my life. She noticed I was looking at her and galloped over to me.

"Hey! Are you ok?" She asked in fear as if something might've happened. I was just laying there looking at her while breathing a bit unsteadily. "Please be alright,"
she said and tied the noose free and threw the rope away. Someone cared about me? I tried to get onto my hands and knees but damn was it hard. I saw the pegasus sigh in relief of me being alive.

"[W-Who are you?]" I asked in my native tongue. She got confused at that, probably didn't understand Danish. "Who are you?" I asked again, this time in English. She pecked her ears up seeming to understand that.

"Hey don't worry about me, why were you trying to hang yourself? You would've died!" She practically screamed. I never thought of that. Not being able to breath didn't kill you.... Of course I knew I would've die.

"To end it all," I simply stated. She blinked at that. She understood English, probably not what I meant by it. "I wanted to die." I said telling about my attempt at suicide. "I wanted to die cause I'm the only one left in my family okay? My parents were murdered in cold blood while I was talking to them on a phone!" I screamed before breaking down and crying. I hated my life.

"Hey, don't be so hard on yourself, you weren't there nor did you know what was gonna happen," she said and put a hoof on my shoulder. "Don't blame yourself over things out of your control." I couldn't help it. Maybe if I didn't hear the phone ring and just left it ringing, my mom wouldn't be able to talk with me and they'd probably still be alive.

"Are you listening to me?" I heard the pegasus ask. I looked at her, I must've zoned out. "We're gonna take you to the hospital, make sure you're fine then I'd like to know about it all." She would listen to the story? Why? Sympathy? I didn't know what to do, but my body answered for me with a weak nod.

After that she helped me stand up and provided me with some support in case I should fall. For a stranger, especially pony stranger, she seemed nice. "What's your name?" I asked her.

"Cloud Wing, yours?" She asked back. I took a bit before answering her.

"Rasmus. Rasmus Erik Hansen." I told her as we headed to the nearest hospital.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"Rasmus?" I heard Cloudy call. "What you thinking about?" I chuckled a bit and kept running my fingers through her mane.

"Nothing special," I replied. "Just thinking about the times you and I first started becoming friends." I smiled at her. I feel sorry for trying to end it back then but... I might not have met Cloudy if I didn't.

"Oh I think there's a lot of other things you should start thinking about from now on." I saw her lick her lips a bit. Oh boy am I in for a surprise.

Fan Mail?

It's been a few days since the inccident at 'Coffee, Cream and Cakes.' I was sitting down in my couch fooling around with my acoustic guitar. I was struming a few chords, making a small silly melody. I've just been lucky Winter Ace doesn't know I moved. I was just happy I haven't been ponified just like that.

"I don't have to tell you how good of a guitar player you are do I?" I heard a voice ask. I looked up from my guitar and saw Cloud Wing standing in front of me with a small smile on her face. She was wearing one of my shirts, even though she knows they're too big for her. She didn't mind though. She jumped onto the couch and sat next to me.

"Good? I'm just fooling around with it," I replied. I had moved together with Cloud for obvious and enjoyable reasons. "I mean it's hard to keep focused on the guitar when there's a cute mare next to you," I teased her. We had a war about teasing each other here and there. It was a lot of fun.

"Cute? You must be joking I'm not cute. I am though making sure my scent is on every piece of your clothing." She winked at me. "You're mine after all," she said as she rubbed her tail under my chin, giving me a low playful growl. I scratched her behind her ear.

"Easy girl, I know I'm yours," I said as I chuckled. "Was there any mail?" Cloudy had just been outside to check the mail. None of us normally don't get anything really except for the usual bill and ads.

"Well, there was some interesting stuff for once," she said and pulled the shirt up to get her left wing free. She likes to carry the mail in her wing, that way she can still talk without trouble. I took the letter from her wing, doing my best not to accidentally touch the wing too much.

"Alright let's see what we have here." I started flipping through the letters. "Bill, bill, ad, bill ,bill, ad, fan mail, bill, bill-" I stopped and went through the letters again. There was a letter for me from a fan? This was new. I opened the letter to see what it said.

Dear Rasmus Hansen.

My name is Honey Grass and I'm a nine year old filly. I love your music I wish there was more aside from your only album, I'd buy it instantly.
I just wanted to say you made me feel happy with your music. When my days were grey you lit them up with your music and I can never thank you enough for that.

I am hospitalized in a hospital in the town of 'Glostrup' and diagnosed with cancer and might not make it. if I don't I wanted to thank you for liting my mood up when everything was grey. my last wish is for this to get to you to tell you that I thank you for everything. You're the best human musician I've ever heard.

Honey Grass.

I just sat there looking at the letter. A nine year old filly diagnosed with cancer sent me this? I felt so horrible knowing she could die any minute. I felt Cloudy put a hoof on my shoulder.

"It's not your fault, you know how cancer is," she said. I nodded taking a deep breath. "Poor girl. Not even 10 and she might not make it." I stood up from the couch and headed for the front door and grabbed my coat.

"Hey Cloudy?" I called her. "I'm gonna go out I'll be back later okay?" She walked over to me and stood up on her hind legs then nuzzled my cheek.

"Don't take too long deal?" She asked and I nodded at that.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ah Glostrup, the city I was born in. Not much has changed except for ponies walking or flying and no cars driving around. Glostrup was a big city, not as big as Copenhagen but still pretty big. I was riding my bike to the hospital but I still didn't get it. Fan mail from a filly with cancer? At least I could make her happier by showing up at her room and actually wish her well.

It took about 30 minutes to get there but I was at the hospital's unused parking lot. I found a good spot near the entrance and got off the thing as well as turn it off and headed inside the building. As I entered the lobby, every staff and patient I saw were ponies. Most of them stared at me as I entered, others were in too much pain or comforting the ones in pain. I walked over to the front desk and the stallion just looked at me.

"Excuse me sir?" I asked. He was probably surprised to actually see a human in the flesh. I tried snapping my fingers but it didn't seem to get his attention either. "Hey!" I almost shouted.

"Wha-? S-Sorry sir! W-What can I do for you?" He asked, clearly panicing a bit from zoning out.

"Do you have a patient diagnosed with cancer by the name of 'Honey Grass'?" I asked. He looked at me like I was joking.

"Sir that's for friends and family only, I can't let you see her," he replied. Great one of these guys. No matter what unless you had some sort of proof the patient knows you, you're not getting in. Wait, That's it.

I pulled out the letter that Honey Grass wrote and showed him the letter. "I'm sure you can let me see her after reading this," I said with a bit of confidence. He grabbed the note and read it, mumbling as he went along.

As he finished he looked up at me. He took at deep breath before replying. "Alright third floor room 12." That's all I wanted. He gave me the letter back and I started heading for the elevators. I'm still surprised this place looked like it did 19 years ago. I saw a pair of ponies come out of an elevator. I got in the now empty elevator and headed for the third floor.

It took about a minute or two to get to the third floor but here I was, looking for room number 12. I found it shortly after and knocked on the door. There was a short silence before I heard a voice saying I could enter. I opened the door and got in the room to see a little green earth pony filly with no mane laying in bed. There was a blue mare and yellow stallion next to the bed and they all were looking at me.

"Who are you?" The stallion spoke up. He was clearly confused and so was the mare. Of course who wouldn't be? I mean they're ponies and here I am a human standing about double the size as them.

I grabbed the letter I had with me and handed it to the stallion who began reading it. "I take that the poor filly in bed is Honey Grass?" I asked and the mare nodded.

"Yes her name is Honey Grass how do you...?" The mare was cut off by her husband.

"This is Rasmus. He's the human Honey sent the letter to," he said and looked at me. "Why are you here? Aren't you busy with music or something?" He asked me and I shook my head.

"I have nothing to do as of right now," I said and looked over at the filly. "Besides saying 'hi' to the filly who sent me the first piece of fan mail." I smiled at the filly who smiled back at me.

"But.... But...." The stallion couldn't get a sentence out. I chuckled a bit and looked back at him.

"Everyone has a wish, Honey Grass' wish is probably meeting me," I said "So here I am making the wish come true." The mare was smiling and the stallion did so too with tears in his eyes. He wanted his daughter to be happy and I can understand that.

I grabbed a chair and put it next to the bed and sat down in it. "Some sour thing about getting cancer huh? Real bummer" I said to Honey Grass. She giggled a bit before coughing a bit.

"Y-Yeah... I wish I could go out and play with my friends again," she said. "I don't like being forced to stay in bed all day long." She frowned about her cancer. Who wouldn't? I knew a guy who's grandfather couldn't be treated for cancer because of some sort of allergy. It was horrible.

"Well, you have a chance of surviving the cancer," I said and put a hand on her shoulder. "You'll make it through Honey, I'm positive about it." She smiled weakly at me.

"Y-Yeah... I do. I have a chance of surviving." That's what I want to hear. I want to lighten her mood right now, just like music does when she listens to it.

"Hey wanna know a secret?" I asked her. She nodded and I got close to her ear and whispered. "This is the hospital where I was born." She giggled at that. I couldn't help but smile. She hugged me and I hugged back. We hugged for a minute before she grabbed something from her nightstand.

"Hey," she called. "Could you sign this for me?" She asked as she showed me a pen and a small CD case. The title for the album was, 'Tragedy and Time'. It's cover was of a path with a dark tone with rain pouring down. There was a guitar laying on ground with a note saying 'Nothing Else Matters But Family'.

"If it'll make you happy, I'll do it," I said and grabbed the pen. I signed the CD case and gave it back to her along with the pen. "Enjoy." I pat her head. She started coughing violently all of a sudden. Her father ran out the room to get a nurse or doctor. I held Honey's hoof gently and ran my thumb on it to show my concern. Her father came back with both a nurse and a doctor and they instantly started preparing a shot of what I'd assume was sedative. They gave her the shot and she started calming down and slowly falling asleep.

I looked at the father. "How long has she had cancer for and how bad is it?" I asked. I could only assume bad things, I mean this is cancer after all. Honey's father looked at me before replying.

"She's had cancer for a year." He sighed. He wanted his little girl to live. "I think she's better than when it first began. But we can only hope for the best." I nodded at that. Cancer is no joke no matter who you are. I reached a hand out at her father and mother which they shook one after another. "I hope the best for your daughter. Take care all of you," I said and started to leave the room.

"Hey!" Honey's mother called. I turned around and saw her looking at me with a weak smile on her face. "T-Thank you for seeing Honey. Her biggest wish was to meet you." I knelt down and gave her a hug. She started sobbing in to my shoulder. "It's gonna be alright, she'll make it. She's a strong little filly." I assured her. I let her go after a minute or so and she gave me another 'thank you.' I smiled and waved at her as I left for the elevator.

When I got into the elevator I felt a sudden burst of inspiration. I knew what was gonna happen in the following days. I got to the lobby and headed out only to my fear see Winter Ace. Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me! I tried my best to avoid his gaze as he was talking to the stallion at the front desk. I was sadly clumsy enough. Everyone turned their attention to me, the human who had just knocked over a flower vase made of glass. I was gonna have to deal with Winter Ace. Again.

"Well hello Rasmus, remember last time we met? How you punched me in the side before you left?" He asked. Still remember that? Sure I hit him in the lung by accident, but he was gonna ponify me against my will! "Oh suck it up ass-wipe. I only punched you because you were gonna change me against my will!" I spat at him. Every single pony gasped and started talking to each other about it in faint whispers. He lit his horn up. Great it was gonna look really messy in a second. That was unless somepony threw a book at him.

"No threats of any kind mister Ace!" The stallion at the front desk snapped. "If you wanna throw threats, throw them at me. If what he's saying is true you can go to tartarus!" Ace grunted in frustration before using his magic to throw the poor stallion into a bookshelf behind him at neck breaking speed. Everyone went wide eyed me included. I ran up to Ace and kicked him in the side at which he fell onto his side. Unicorns and pegasi are thankfully not as sturdy as earth ponies. I jumped onto him and grabbed his horn, making sure he was unable to get up.

"Someone call the authorities!" I yelled out. "NOW!" I saw a nurse heading for the nearest phone and dailing '112' for the emergency center. "Get off me!" I heard Ace yell from under me as he tried to get free. It took a lot of will to keep my hand tight around his horn. He kept trying to use magic and it started burning in my hand. I let go and he pushed me off with the help of his magic. "Now that I have you... 'human,'" he said between grunts most likely from my kick. "I'm not letting you get away this time." He started laughing like a maniac. Crap this wasn't looking too good. I felt his magic take a hold of my limps holding me in place.

"So that's it huh!? Capture me then turn me into a pony and make me forget? How can you live your life like that?" I asked him. "Star Trail must be real proud knowing his father, has turned a lot of humans into ponies against their will and wiped their brain from anything human related!" I struggled to get free. "Don't you dare speak of my son you filthy ape!" He growled at me. I could see the anger in his eyes. He stomped on my left leg with enough power to break it. I yelled out in pain. Fuck it hurt like hell.

"You see Rasmus? I win," he stated slowly. "You'll become a pony who doesn't know about anything human related and I can tend to my family in peace knowing you're a pony!" He grined at me. It was creepy. He was about to hit me with a spell. I closed my eyes knowing it was over. I waited to be hit by the spell he was gonna hit me with, but it didn't even fire. I opened my eyes slowly noticing he had a ring on his horn. It seemed to stop his magic which was fine by me. I kicked him away from me with my right leg and slowly crawled backwards away from him.

"Step away from the human!" A female voice said. I looked at saw cops had arrived thankfully. "Do you know what he is?! He's a human and he attacked me out of nowhere!" Ace yelled at the cops. Kinda true but he had attacked the stallion behind the desk first. A nurse told the cops to arrest Ace which they wasted no time doing so. Ace tried resisting a few times as they dragged him out of the building, but was met with a taser spell from what I could tell. Some nurses galloped over to me to make sure I was okay. Others were checking on the stallion. Fuck my leg was in major pain, I couldn't even move it the slightest without pain.

I was helped onto a chair and received some painkillers and water. I took the painkillers and swallowed them with help from the water. The nurses were effecient about wrapping plaster around my leg and I yelped a bit in pain as they did. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down. "Sir? We're gonna help out with our co-worker, we'll be right back though." I nodded at what the nurse just had told me and I understood. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and tried calling Cloudy. It took me a few attempts but she finally picked up. "Hey Cloudy it's me. I'm doing fine aside from the fact that I had a run in with Winter Ace again, this time he even broke my leg. Don't worry I'll be fine, come see me tomorrow and we'll see how things are okay? Love you." After our small chat over the phone I put the phone back and waited for the nurses. This wasn't my luckiest of days.

Looks like I was gonna stay at the hospital for a few days. Do I mind? Of course not! Especially not since Winter Ace is arrested. It seemed too good to be true that he was gone like that. I know I was gonna have a hard time getting around if I was gonna get crutches, but I'd manage.

Bad News?

Author's Note

Sorry it's been a while. Took a small break from my writing spree and relaxed a bit too long.

I have motivation issues from time to time. I don't wanna leave this story unfinished it will be finished I promise you that.

Bad News?

"...and that's when I started feeling guilt again. It was my fault this 'Winter Ace' was there to begin with," I said. I was in a music studio which I never excepted to be in again. The place was run by a unicorn I knew called 'Note Scratch.' He was a brown stallion who had been studying music production, he was a legend at his job. He scratched his head with a hoof unsure of what to say to me. "So you've told me about your parents back when we first met, now you're talking of a stallion working at a hospital that could've died because of you? Dude, you didn't know this Winter Ace was gonna be there, let alone hurt anypony. Just snap out of your guilt trips and work on your ideas like we both agreed upon," he said. He was right. I was sitting on a chair in a soundproofed room with a microphone and a pop-filter in front of the mic. We were trying to record some lyrics I thought up for the verse but I kept messing up.

"Alright, come out get some water and let's see if we can figure something out about your buck ups," he said and opened the door with his magic. I'd gotten out of the hospital after a week but I had to walk around with crutches and I really didn't like it. I couldn't complain in the slightest though, unless I wanted to stay in a bed all day long. I grabbed my crutches and got out of the room to get some water. "Sorry about your leg." I chuckled at Note's comment. "I'll live," I replied. I mean someone had to pay the price of the crazy unicorn. I got into the couch he had in his control room for the massive control panel he had --he could mess with the songs themselves--, as he levitated a glass of water over to me. "So your throats acting a bit up but it's nothing we can't fix within a minute or so," he said as I took a sip of water. "We're just gonna have to be careful it doesn't 'break' and make you start sounding hoarse." I agreed, my throat acting up wasn't a good thing.

Note levitated my notes of lyrics over. "So far we have half of the first verse," he started. "If you agree upon it, could I make some suggestions?" I nodded, I was always open for ideas. "For the first part of the verse it goes 'Follow your bliss, it reads on my chest, I know I got it tattooed for a reason, why can't I just hold it true?' at that last part maybe instead of having one voice maybe two?" I thought it over. One voice could be played out the right side while the other out the left. "Anyway I'm ready again when you are," he finished and got back to his mixer. I grabbed my crutches and headed back to the other room to start recording again.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I rubbed my head a bit and groaned a bit. "You okay Rasmus?" Note asked me after recording the chorus. "I'm fine I just got a little light-headed after the last one" I told him through the microphone. We had taken at least a dozen attempts at the chorus. "So that's the chorus and the first verse done Rasmus. Wanna take a break or continue?" I could definitely use a break with my throat feeling dry. I got into the control room and sat in the couch again.

"So you and Cloud Wing are together?" Note asked me. "I always thought you two were meant for each other." He chuckled a bit and gave me a glass of what seemed to be some light booze. "Yeah we're a thing now, never expected it to happen though," I said and sipped from the glass. "She's a real kinky one too. She got me in to try an attempt of fun three days ago with my broken leg." I took another sip of my booze. "Turns out her weight was too much for my leg and she told me she'd wait til it had healed." Note chuckled a small bit and smiled. "At least someone's having fun, I have trouble trying to get my mare in the mood. It's mostly because of our daughter, but I can live without sex knowing I have those two." He said and used his magic to start the music track we had so far. It sounded decent, some parts needed another take but overall it would work. It just sounded like something was missing.

"Hmm... It sounds good but I think something's missing" I said to Note. "I think it needs a bridge somewhere after the second chorus." I sighed at that. That would mean I had to go play drums again. I groaned at that. "That means I gotta get some drums going again. Sometimes I hate my own ideas." It could've been worse. I'm a right handed and right legged person and I was lucky my left leg was the broken one. Drumming with a broken leg even if you're not using the broken one can be a bit annoying. At least I wasn't using double bass pedals on the drums.

"A bridge? That's gonna be interesting," Note said and went over some of the notes we had written down today. "You haven't really done bridges in the first album you made and now you're gonna try? Good luck pal," Note said and chuckled a bit. Damn why do most ponies that know me enjoy teasing me? Note plugged a jack cable into the control panel and then into my les paul I had brought with me. "I'll throw in a loop for the end of the second chorus and let it go onto some empty parts of the guitar track for ya". I knew a bit of music production myself but I was happy I was dealing with a pro. "Start jammin' whenever you're ready Rasmus," Note said. I started to strum different chords to find something that would fit as a bridge.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I dunno what time it is but it was late. It was dark outside, the only thing lighting the city up was the street lights. I was home, sitting in the couch with a hand lazily laying on Cloudy while her head rested on my right leg. It was what we did most of the time when we relaxed together, it was soothingly quiet. The only thing that broke the silence was the TV in front of us going on with the news. There was the weather forecast, the sport, even some news about 'Whammer' the guitar company. There was nothing special and I grabbed the remote to turn the device in front of us off. The only thing stopping me from doing so was the last part of the news. Winter Ace. He was sentenced to court sure but why were they showing news about that? He should be in jail by now. I turned up the volume to make sure I could hear it.

"The known unicorn known as 'Winter Ace,' was a few days ago caught attacking a human known as 'Rasmus Erik Hansen.' He claimed that he attacked the human in self defense." I clenched my fist after hearing that. That prick! "Now as most ponies might know, Winter Ace is part of an organization that turns humans into ponies, had they agreed upon changing." I kept listening to hear more on the report to hear his punishment. There was none. He had to go through trial in 3 days and anyone who had something related to his situation was advised to arrive. Oh I was gonna make sure that motherfucker didn't get out of a courthouse without having been proven guilty.

I felt a hoof caress my cheek, then looked at Cloudy who was looking at me. "Easy big boy. If you're planning on going to court I'm going with you to keep your anger down," she said as she was calming me down. "If your anger gets hold of you, you'll most likely get in trouble." She was right. Sure Cloudy was a bit reckless from time to time but she was wise enough to know when to tone that bashful side of hers down. I sighed and ran a hand over my face as if I was feeling stupid which I actually did. The news report ended with it's normal silly jingle and I turned the TV off. I smiled at Cloudy and stole a kiss from her. She likes being the dominant one in our relationship and I like being her rebel by stealing kisses from her.

"If you're able to steal some kisses from me, maybe I should steal something else from you," She said as she took a hoof and trailed it down my body. I know what she was going for and I just let her tease me as she went along with it. "You're kinda lucky your leg is broken, otherwise you'd be in our bed tied down for me to play with." Oh baby, she's a kinky mare, but who doesn't like a kinky mare every now and then eh? I chuckled at her and stroked her cheek while giving her a warm smile. She gave me a peck on the lips and headed off to our bedroom, probably because she needed sleep. I just sat in the couch in silence while thinking about my current life. I had lost my parents, I attempted suicide, I am a wanted man to Winter Ace if not the organization he's in and I have a marefriend. I was wondering if life itself was having a laugh at me.

I grabbed my crutches and headed over to a dresser we had standing in the corner with some keys and pictures. There was a picture of me in a tuxedo and Cloudy in a dress. It was taken at a small gala party at my school two years ago. We were supposed to find a 'date' for the gala if possible, but my luck with girls were not very high, so I asked Cloudy and she agreed. It feels like we had been on a real date looking back at it now. Another picture were of me playing on my acoustic guitar in front of a small crowd of fillies and colts. I remembered that day, it was at Cloudy's workplace. She and some other mares and stallions taking care of small foals, while their parents worked at their jobs til they would arrive and take their kids back home. I always would forget the word such a place was called, since English wasn't my native language. Last picture on the dresser was of me and my parents. I felt sadness take hold of me.

I almost forgot what happened 3 years again now that I'm together with Cloudy, Winter Ace's attempt of making me a pony and just everything in general. I felt myself at the verge of tears but they never came. As much as I wanted to cry it never came, why? The answer was simple I've been living in grief of their death thinking it was my fault for too long, I needed to let the fact go that they were gone and move along. I'm not moving on and forgetting what happened to them, there's no way to erase that. I suddenly just smiled and started to speak as if my parents were alive in front of me. "Hey, it's me. Yes I know I'm speaking English but can you blame me? I got better grades in English than Danish anyway. I just wanted to say I miss you, both of you." I put a hand on the picture and chuckled nervously. "I got a girlfriend now, sure she's not a human but you won't judge me right? As long as I'm happy you're happy, that's what you've told me when I doubted myself." I rubbed my eyes to make the watery feeling less annoying. "I'll come visit again soon I just need my leg to heal." I sniffled a bit but then headed into the bedroom where Cloudy was sitting tearing a bit up as I walked in. She must've heard me.

I walked over to her and she hugged me instantly which I returned to her. "I'm glad you got to terms with yourself," Cloudy said. I got in the bed and stroked her mane and smiled a bit. "I don't think I've been enjoying life to it's full potential," I said with a shaky voice. I wanted to ask her about something, something important but I decided it could wait til trial for Winter Ace was done. Right now I wanted to snuggle with my mare and enjoy it, then tomorrow head for the hospital for another dose of their healing magic. Been working so far, pain's been eased over the course of a few days because of it and it makes the bone heal faster itself. Better than having to wait about half a year or something like that. I laid down in the bed with Cloudy snuggling against my chest as we tried to fall asleep.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

[Hey! You gonna answer me or not? I'm sure whoever's on the other end of me will be pissed if you don't do it! PICK ME UP YA FILTHY APE!!

I groaned and grabbed my phone, knowing my ringtone clearly and regretfully. I answered the phone with a yawn. "Rasmus Hansen here, who am I speaking with?" I rubbed my eyes and stretched a bit. "Ah mister Hansen! We've been trying to call you for a few days now, we'd almost given up hope. My name is High Stakes and I'm calling to invite you to a music ceremony for this year's honorable music albums and from our statistics you've been nominated my good sir. It will take place in the royal arena next month. We will send you a letter with the information in a week, we hope to see you there." And with that this High Stakes guy hung up. As much as I wanted to feel surprised I didn't feel it. I grabbed a small note and pencil from my nightstand, wrote what I just heard down and put the note on my nightstand. I took a look at the clock to see it was somewhere past 12pm.

I noticed I didn't bother to ditch my clothes last night, I just shrugged at that and felt a hoof stroke my stomach. I chuckled a bit and decided that I would let Cloudy sleep some more. I began my daily routine with me, getting some breakfast, taking a shower --it was harder now that my leg was broken-- like what humans do. I was probably gonna be heading for the studio later on after having a call with Note Scratch of course. having showered, eaten and such I went to check on Cloudy to find her snuggling a pillow. I chuckled at the sight and got over to her side of the bed then gave her a kiss on the cheek. She smiled in her sleep and hugged her pillow tighter. I'm surprised she didn't wake up from my phone going off like that earlier but she is a heavy sleeper. I decided to leave her a note for Cloudy saying I was going out to get some air and headed outside.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I had grabbed my coat in case I should get cold but I regretted it as soon as I got out of my house. It was summer and it was hot as all hell. I don't believe in the weather forecast about Denmark, it's so unpredictable all year round. I walked by a few ponies here and there, some looked at me in awe while others looked at me in what I assumed was disgust. It was generally upper class ponies that looked at me with disgust, thinking I didn't belong. I didn't give a crap since all they probably did were counting their bits all day long and having some sort of butler or something wipe their asshole when needed. "Daddy look! There he is!" I heard a high pitched voice call out. I turned my head towards the voice and went wide eyed at what I saw. I saw that one filly that disappeared from my side a few weeks earlier. Green fur with a mane and tail color of red. She wasn't alone though, a somewhat bulky stallion with a mustache stood beside her wearing a police hat. Was I in trouble? God I hope not.

They walked over to me and the stallion spoke up. "Mister Hansen I presume?" I nodded at that still unsure what was gonna happen. "Now listen here boy, I only have a few minutes to tell you this before I get behind schedule." He cleared his throat. "I want you to meet up at the Glostrup courthouse in 2 days at 4:00pm as a witness. I want you there in case Winter Ace has something up his sleeve." He took a small bottle and gave it to me. "This is from a stallion from Glostrup hospital. He wanted me to give this to you and tell you that this bottle will fix your leg right up. Some potion is all I know." I nodded. He and his daughter started to walk away. "Take care mister Hansen," the filly said as she walked with her father. Interesting start of the day. At least I was gonna be able to walk soon enough.
