Celestia's Secret Guard
Chapter 6 A Better Life
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEquestria, Ponyville, Fluttershy's cottage one week after waking up.
Fluttershy invited her friends over to look at me. They all showed up, and cautiously entered the house. I was sitting on the couch enjoying some coffee when I heard them gasp.
"Oh my gosh, it's a live human. Celestia had me study your kind" Said the purple one who I assumed was Twilight Sparkle. She walked up to me, her horn glowed a purple hue as she tried to lift my arm which was also now glowing a purple hue. My arm was not budging, that meant that while I now had Equestrian magic Inside me, My human side still rebounded their magic. She tried to use even more force, her face scrunching up as she tried her best to move my arm. "What in Celestia?"
The orange pony, Applejack came over to her friend. "Think ah might be able to help, sugarcube?" She said her hoof extending out to Twilight's shoulder. She sounded southern, almost like she worked on a farm.
Twilight stopped and slouched over looking at Applejack. "Be my guest." She said, moving her hoof towards me.
AppleJack tipped her hat and turned around, exposing her cutie mark, it contained three red apples. She smiled and rounded up like she was going to buck me. She kicked, Her legs extending in a straight line as she kicked with all her might. I managed to grab both her hoofs in mid air quite fast, those were not my usual reflexes, I would have been kicked in the face and would have been wondering what happened. Applejack's face turned from a smile to confusion as I stood up, lifting her upside down in the air, hat falling to the floor. All the color in her face drained as she looked up at me, I let her down and she grabbed her hat and hid behind Twilight, who, along with the other ponies in the room, had similar expressions on their faces.
"If you wanted to look at me, all you had to do was ask." I said, sitting back down. I took another sip of my coffee and just stared at them. They looked at me and then at each other then back at me. The blue one, I think Rainbow Dash, looked at Applejack and said. "Wow, looks like the strongest pony in Ponyville couldn't handle it." Applejack shot her a look. "I'm Rainbow Dash, by the way." She flew over and extended a hoof to me. She sounded kind of tomboyish.
I grabbed her hoof and shook it. "I'm Daniel, Friends call me ARES." She had a look of awe as I spoke.
"That is such a cool nickname!" She said, pushing her cheeks together.
"Rainbow, darling." The white and purple one was Rarity. She spoke like she was from a fancy family. "we have to look professional when we are meeting someone new." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. "Hello, My name is Rarity."
I saw something out of the corner of my eye and saw a pink blur shoot out in front of me, cutting Rarity short. "And I'm Pinkie Pie!" Confetti shot out behind her, covering everything in the room. Fluttershy, jumped into my arms. She looked at me with those eyes, we stared for a moment. We both blushed and she hopped out of my arms. I had a warm fuzzy feeling come into my stomach. We stared at each other as Pinkie started singing a song. I didn't hear a single word. About the time she got done was when I stopped staring at Fluttershy. "Come On And Smile."
I looked at Pinkie Pie, a big smile across her face."That was, ahem, something, nice to meet you." I extended my hand to her and she grabbed it and started shaking it very fast. "YouandIaregoingtobesuchgoodfriendI'mgonnamakeyouacakeandwearegonnahaveapartyand-" I looked at the other ponies, my expression screaming for help. Applejack was shaking her head. Rainbow Dash was over in the corner, eyeing my gun. Twilight had wasn't even looking at me, she was writing something down in a book. Rarity just sat there with an annoyed look on her face. And Fluttershy was looking down at the ground blushing, her hoof rubbing the wooden floor.
Rainbow Dash picked up my gun, which had been previously changed into an M82A1 sniper rifle, and looked at it even closer, her hoof rubbing the handle. "Hey what does this-"
BOOM
The sound scared the shit out of me and the ponies. The bullet luckily flew through the window, shattering it and sending pieces of glass all over the floor. The kick from the rifle sent Rainbow Dash into the wall, A small indent was left when she slid down to the floor.
"Rainbow!" Applejack yelled as she ran over to her friend, and held her face close to hers. Rainbow Dash's eyes were rolling around. She blinked and they straightened and she leaped up into the air.
"That. Was. AWWEESSSOOOMME!" She had a huge smile on her face. I ran over to the wall and picked up my rifle. I pulled out the mag and unchambered the round inside before turning on the safety and sticking it behind the couch. Fluttershy was already there, cowering in fear.
"Come out Fluttershy," she looked at me, Tears flowing down her face. I reached down and picked her up and set her down on the couch, she crawled onto my chest and put her face under my chin. Her tears stopped and she looked up at me, blushing. I blushed too.
"Uhhhh, you two alright?" asked Twilight who was now looking at us with her head turned to the side.
Fluttershy looked at twilight and then back at me and looked down at my chest, she then got a horrified look and jumped off me. "Uh, y-yes we are fine. I was just feeling his chin hairs." I looked at her, nice save, Fluttershy.
The ponies eventually left just Fluttershy and I there alone. When they left, Fluttershy then flew back into my arms and sat in my lap sticking her face under my chin and began crying again. I gently rubbed her back as she lay her head into my lap and fell asleep.
Equestria, Fluttershy's cottage, two weeks after waking up.
The cuts on my chest and abdomen had healed surprisingly fast, so I decided to give that potion a try. I grabbed the orange vile and downed it in one go. I almost spit it out, it tasted horrible. It tasted like hot sauce mixed with milk. I took it down and immediately started to get this feeling of warmth. I walked outside in shorts and a T-shirt and just stood there, amazed at how I felt. I didn't feel the cold, I looked down and flexed my toes in the snow. It was like standing on a pillow. I saw a big snow pile and immediately started running. I jumped head first into the pile and went down to my knees. It was amazing, I didn't feel the cold.
"Hey, Fluttershy!" I said, whilst laying down in the snow, spreading my hands and legs out. She poked her head out of the door and looked at me, her eyes wide. "Look, snow angel!" I started moving my arms and legs as to make a snow angel. She ran out to me with a blanket.
"Hurry, you might catch a cold." She threw the blanket on my head. I picked it off and threw it back, landing on her face.
"The potion worked, now I don't have to freeze to death while I'm here." I grabbed her and brought her to the ground. She got up and pounced on my chest, I laughed as I looked into her blue eyes. I suddenly got that funny feeling again. I blushed and looked away, I suddenly felt her peck my cheek. I froze and looked at her. Her face changing from happy to horrified, she ran back into the house. I heard her bedroom door slam shut. That fuzzy feeling came over again tenfold. I had to ask my self a question.
Was I falling for Fluttershy?
