Dylan's POV

'Well, I can't say that this place is bad.' I thought to myself while lazing about on a bench somewhere around Ponyville.
-sigh-, "I still have no idea what my dad was trying to say," I said to myself, after I had decided to hang around here, my father told me that it was up to me to take care of them, in which my reply was how in the hell am I supposed to look after people who can fly faster than sound, and can probably bench press around 12 of me with their legs, and can levitate me to god knows where.

"Wow, sure looks like your keeping busy," I heard someone say in a sarcastic tone, who was also the reason the sun was blocked from my view, I opened one eye to look at the offender of my relaxation time on some random bench, 'she' did not look too happy at me, "you said you wanted to know us better, well it sure looks like your trying your hardest." Said offender told me with a scowl on her purple everything face.

And of course in a maximum effort retaliation I lazily waved her off, "Yeah, yeah, I know I'm not doing much of anything, but there just isn't anything for me to do, if anything I'd just be in the way, even you with your library." I told her while yawning due to complete and absolute boredom.

She looked at me with exasperation on her face, with a sigh, "You shouldn't write yourself off so easily I'm sure that Appljack would be more than willing to let you help on her apple farm." She told me trying to get me hyped up no doubt.

"Already tried that, turns out, me trying to carry just one of those full baskets will probably break me," I said shivering from the thought.

"Well what about Fluttershy? I'm sure she'd love the help with her animals." She said still trying to encourage me off my sacred resting bench.

"Yeah, I may like animals, but Fluttershy took it too far when she tried introducing me to a bear." I told her in a matter-of-fact way.

"W-well, what about PinkiePie? I'm sure that you could help her around with something in the kitchen?" She said more trying to convince herself that it was a good idea.

"Ok, that would have been a good idea if you sounded more sure of yourself, and I don't think I would be able to survive her personality." I said looking up at her, examining how she would attempt to make another rebuttal towards my authentic laziness.

"Uh, well, why not Rarity? Maybe she'd like to use you as a model for her fashion designs." She sounded desperate now, probably starting to realize the fact that I was NOT getting off my lazy ass.

"You know that is a good idea," I said making her face light up with renewed hope.

"Really?" She said a little too excited over the fact that she might have won this debate.

"If it weren't for the fact that she already used me as a model, my legs are still sore from standing." I said instantly obliterating her Hope's, almost made me feel bad, almost.

"Oohhh" she groaned in disappointment at her personal failure, "well why not help me around my library?" She said as if she had discovered something new.

"Sorry but I'm not really into research," I told her while looking away bashfuly and in way that said otherwise, "well, not the stuff that you research, but I am into engineering," I said my cheeks gaining a hue of embarrassment red, not because I didn't want to work with her but because of, other, reasons.

She looked at me with confusion on her adora-Gauh I mean, purple, yeah, purple and nothing else, on her face, "In that case I should have been the obvious choice, even if your not researching the same area as me, you can still help out with arranging everything." She said looking at me with her curiosity at its peak, which means, not good for me.

My cheeks started to burn, I didn't know how to say that I'm too nervous around girls, especially when they are bombshells like these girls, not that I would admit that to anyone, in fact, forget you heard me say that, "Guh, well, it's just that, well, you see," I said in an attempt to diffuse my burning face, but no such luck, never have been a lucky kid.

Almost as if the luck god heard my call of distress, "Hey are you alright, your face is burning up." She said in a concerned tone leaning down to feel my head.

Screw this, I'm sorry oh sacred bench I'll miss you, "Ahh, Haha, I just remembered, I have to go and help, uhh, Rainbowdash, yeah I have to help her with, guh, setting up, an, obstacle course! Yeah I promised to help her with her, deh, agility, yeah, so see yah around Twilight!" I said bolting away as fast as my human legs could take me in an unknown direction.

After a bit of turning and getting even more lost than I was before, I decided to take a break so I did, by collapsing against a nearby building, gaining a few stars by a few 'ponies' passing by, but after 'living' here for a bit some have gotten used to seeing a human around.

"Hey there,"

"GAAAAH!" I jumped in shock and practically broke my neck turning to look at the 'pony' who had the balls.

"Haahaha," I looked over and was immediately sent into another blushing attack, it was another one of the bombshells, this one in particular was attractive in her own right, being the most athletic out of the bunch, "oh man, that was too good," the rainbow haired pegasus said while wiping away tears of unadulterated joy at my expense, "anyways I saw what happened back there, and heard." She said with her iconic smirk.

What she said instantly set me into panic mode, "Uhh, just how much did you hear?" I asked in a worried tone.

She looked at me with a teasing grin, "Oh, I'm not sure what your talking about," she said feigning innocence, "oh, did you mean the part where you lied about doing everything you just said, or the fact that your too embarrassed to say your nervous about working with us?" She had the most all knowing grin I've ever seen.

I just felt like my face suddenly exploded into little nuclear red bombs all over my face and ears, "U-uh, I-I, guuh," my shoulders faltered into a slumped over position, as an imaginary dread cloud appeared above my head, "y-yeah, I know I shouldn't lie to my friends like that, but, I just can't I'm too embarrassed to say it straight!" I told her in a sputtery mess, I groaned in disappointment at myself, slapping my face, " I just can't tell her the reason I'm not working is that-." I cut myself short, not wanting her to know the real reason.

She sighed in exasperation, "Well, I'll tell you one thing." She said looking at me with a sympathetic smile with an edge of cockiness.

"And what would that be?" I said trying to tone down the blood in my face.

She roughly poked my chest, "You, my friend, need a job." She finished with that trademark smirk of hers.

At this I couldn't help but smile, "Hehe, I guess I really DO need a job."

Author's Note

Guess who's back!?😆 And with renewed confidence, and thanks again for all of your support back when I needed it the most, to be honest the reason I haven't been uploading in so long is the fact that my spark suddenly went out, my family just didn't approve, but thanks to a close friend who's apart of this beautiful community, he recently got a place of his own and he saw how bad my depression started to get, I will never be able to repay him for bringing me with him, he saw what I was making and he told me that I shouldn't give up on what I love, and what I love is making all of you happy, and thanks to my friend I'm back in business and I'm ready to start a new, no more worrying about what my family thinks, I love them but I just don't understand how they could reject such a welcoming and respectful community, but one thing I learned from them and my friend is that you shouldn't stop doing what you love just because some people don't approve, all that matters is that you love it, and if you have people who support and love it all the same, then all the more reason you shouldn't stop. I'll stop wasting your time now, but I'm back in business, and I'm here to stay, so have a day filled with awesome sauce
