I'M YOUR WHAT!?

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

“Stone? Is that really you?” Was what the white horse said and honestly I think my mind broke. “......................... Okay I understand what's going on this must be some kind of vivid dream shit.”

The talking pony in front of me was completely white. Like if you compared snow and her, she would come out whiter than it. Her mane was a flowing spectrum of color almost like a rainbow aurora borealis.

She had big wings the same color as her fur. She had a long horn as well. About an entire foot at least. Her eyes were big magenta orbs that were a lot bigger than a normal pony or horse.

When I said that her face saddened considerably. “You don't remember me?”

Okay I know I heard that voice from before but where?..... Wait a minute this one has the same voice as the alabaster woman from my dreams. But how?

“You seem… familiar almost but I can't tell from where.”

That seemed to add anger to her saddened state. “Come on Stone stop bucking around I know you know me… know us.”

She said that last a little quie- “US!? What the hell!? I never met you before and now you're saying that I was your boyfriend or husband or something like that! Oh my God my dreams have some fucked up shit in them.”

Now tears were coming to her eyes. “Stone please remember, it's me Tia. Your sunshine? Your Celly? Please remember.”

Tears were streaming down her face now. Even if this thing wasn't real and only a dream I hated when woman cried. I stuck my hand out and softly started to pet her mane. When my hand touched her mane her eyes sprang open and her head snapped up to look me in the eyes a small gasp escaped her lips.

She dropped me on the ground in her surprise but thankfully my legs were working again. “Hey don't cry everything'll be alright.”

My brain then decided to give me the mother of all headaches and I gripped my head in pain. I staggered backwards and I looked up and let out a blood curling scream of agony. Suddenly my vision went white even though my eyes were shut tight from the pain.

~Flashback~

“Don't cry Tia everything will be alright.” I said lightly stroking her cheek.

“Stone please there has to be another way.” Celestia said holding the hand that was on her cheek with a hoof. Luna sat in the background tears streaming down her face and sobbing a little bit.

“I'm sorry Tia but if you take away the elements the tree will die, it needs something to keep it alive until the elements have to be placed back.”

“But why does it have to be you! Why can't it be somepony else!?” Celestia said now holding my hands with both of her hooves.

“Celestia, you and me both know it would take hundreds of your ponies to keep this tree alive for even a few minutes. It has to be me. I have the same amount of magic you and your sister together maybe even more! I'm doing this. Go, stop Discord and try to brighten everyday you can with your smile.” I say with a small smile of my own.

She comes forward and hugs me, her wings joining the hug. Instantly I feel her tears stain my shirt. “I'll miss you, both of us will miss you, everypony at the castle will miss you. Please don't go. I need you.”

“And your ponies need you, not some ‘ape’ to rule over them. Please do this for them. When the elements return I promise to come back. And when I do I want you to make me remember our love and if that can't happen then make me love you and your sister again. Understand.”

That was more of a command than a question. I lied to her since I didn't know if the tree would bring me back after the elements were returned.

I feel her nod her head through her sobs. She steps back and I look over to Luna who is crying like no tomorrow which for me there may not be one. I walk over to her and get down on one knee and pull her into a hug bringing her head to my chest but still careful of her horn.

She was a midnight blue alicorn with a mane and tail of the night sky. Her eyes were a beautiful teal color that went along well with the rest of her fur color.

“Lulu always remember that your nights are beautiful and important. Don't let anypony tell you other wise okay?” Her breaths were ragged but still nodded into my chest. I let go and turned to walk to the tree.

I put my hand on it and closed my eyes. I felt myself get pulled into the tree while Celestia and Luna pulled out the Elements.

~Flashback end~

I regained consciousness to see 8 mares looking down on me with worry. Two of them I now recognized as Celestia and Luna the other 6 were a mystery to me. My head still felt like it went through hell and back but I pushed through the pain. “Ugh my head.”

Celestia and Luna looked happy that I was alright more so than everypony else… ‘Wait everypony? Where did that come from?’ I mentally shook the thought away and blamed it on the headache. Celestia's horn glowed and lowered it to my forehead.

When it connected the pain instantly went away but I still had a dull throb. “Umm thanks Celes-” I stopped short but realized my mistake too late. I heard them gasp and then I was hug tackled by an alabaster and midnight blue blur.

Now I was sandwiched between the two happily sobbing alicorns. I reached my arms back so I could pet their flowing manes. When I put my hand through them they felt like the softest of silks. I sat there in silence while the alicorns continued to nuzzled me.

I began thinking about my predicament and why I had that memory. At least it was a memory… right? I continued to pet them until a purple alicorn spoke up. “Princess Celestia, Princess Luna who is this… thing?”

That must've been a trigger for Luna as she suddenly stopped nuzzling me and glared daggers at the purple pony. I could feel the air drop a few degrees and Celestia put her hooves on my ears covering them.

I was confused by this until Luna yelled. “HE IS NOT A THING TWILIGHT SPARKLE! HE IS OUR MOST TRUSTED FRIEND AND MINE AND OUR SISTER'S MATE! AND HE WILL NOT EVER BE CALLED ANYTHING OF THE LIKE IN WHICH YOU JUST CALLED HIM!

If Celestia hadn't covered my ears I think I might have gone deaf. The purple pony called Twilight looked at Luna with fear and me with shock. “He's your mate!?” The other 5 ponies shouted in surprise and in sync how they did it in sync I have no idea.

‘Wait a minute…’ “Mate!? I had sex with you two!?” I asked pointing at Luna and Celestia. They looked back at with a confused look plastered to their muzzles.

“Yes Stone don't you remember?” Said Celestia.

“No!” I said now standing. “All I remember is me, you, Luna and this tree here and hey didn't this thing have different shapes for the umm what was it? Oh yeah the Elements of… something.” I said losing my train of thought.

Celestia giggled at me and Luna face… hoofed? “Stone please try to take this matter seriously.” Said Luna in an exasperated tone.

“Sorry umm lets see. I remember Celestia was crying and so were you. The tree had those Element things you needed for something or someone called ‘Discord’. Then I said some goodbyes and put my hand on the tree and that's all I remember aside from that.”

They looked slightly disappointed that I couldn't remember more. “Please Stone try to remember more.” Celestia pleaded.

“I don't think it's that simple maybe I have to trigger certain events here like seeing something from the past and saying something that was a key point like I said before and more recently. ‘Hey don't cry everything'll be alright.’ but more in the heat of the moment.”

They seemed to accept this before Twilight spoke up. “Hold on how come when I drank the alicorn elixir I didn't see him there as well?”

“I… don't know. But it had to be something.” Celestia responded now puzzled by this.

“Okay let's figure this out later right now I don't want to sit here and stay in this cave. Problem is I can't fly through the hole like some of you can.” They seemed puzzled by this.

“Hole? By whatever do you mean?” Asked a white unicorn with a dark purple stylized mane and tail.

“Well when I first found this” I pointed at the tree. “I was on a camping trip as a small vacation and not only that it was the perfect camping spot. A small stream near the tent makes such a soothing sound it makes me feel so calm it's almost like I'm asleep.”

“Anyway after breakfast I went out on a hike and around 30 minutes later I was resting but after I got back up the ground failed beneath me and I slid down a long hole. I was going very fast so I took out my hatchet and put the blunter side into the wall so it slowed me down a bit. When I reached the bottom there was a cavern and inside it was this tree.”

“Except the gems on the branches were more gem like and had a different shape then these. Except the center one it wasn't there at all. I walked up to the tree and put my hand in between the sun and the moon then I got… absorbed? But yeah that's pretty much what happened.”

Celestia and Luna looked confused. “Stone the tree is a pure mystery. We are not sure what it did but maybe while you were in the tree it planted false memories.” Celestia reasoned.

“Well that's not right because I still have the same backpack from the trip and the hatchet. So maybe it did some time shit to me. It's probably the most reasonable explanation.” I suggested.

“We do not know but we do know this. You are back and to us that is all that matters.” Luna said nuzzling my chest. I scratched her behind the ear causing her to sigh in bliss and push her head into my hand. It was adorable. I even thought I heard her purr like a cat.

“Hehe well let's get out of here it's kinds depressing.” I said stopping my ministrations on Luna much to her disagreement. “Twilight I don't know how to get out of here so lead the way.” I said to the purple mare. She nodded and led us out of the cave into some dense woods.

I looked up at the sky and saw the unexplainable. “Umm guys I'm not sure if things work around here differently but I'm pretty sure the sky isn't supposed to look like that.”

They look to see that the sky is half day and half night. “Oh right almost forgot about that.” Celestia said with a glow of her horn. Luna joined her with a glow of her own horn and soon the moon set and the sun went into the middle of the sky. My mind was blown to say the least.

“W- wha- b- b- bu- How!? You just moved the sun and moon how the hell did you do that!?” and they responded with.

“Magic.”

“Oh yeah of course whenever the unexplainable happens you just shrug it off and say ‘magic’. Ya no I ain't believin that shit.”

We walked through the woods Luna and Celestia sticking to my sides and looking out into the forest/short jungle as if watching out for some unseen danger. “Hey you two alright? You look like your dogs growling at nothing.”

“Stone do you know what's in this forest.” Celestia said.

“No. should I know?”

“This forest is filled with monsters, very dangerous and deadly monsters. For example: Manticores, Hydras, Cockitraces, Timberwolves. But that is still the small amount that lives here.”

“Oh umm yeah let's GTF outta here.” I said picking up my pace almost to a jog.

Once we were out of the forest I was meet with a very colorful land almost cartoonish technicolor. I looked around and took a deep breath. “Aaaahhhhh this has to be the cleanest air I have ever breathed in.”

They all giggled. We continued to walk for a little while until a small village came into view. “Hey Celestia what's that over yonder.” She looked where I was pointing and said.

“That's Ponyville it's where Twilight and her friends live.”

“Hmm you know now that you mention it I never was properly introduced to Twilight’s friends.”

“Oh yeah your right.”

“Hey Twilight.” I called out catching up to them. “You know it just dawned upon me that we were never properly introduced. My name is Stone or just Tony.” I said holding out my hand for a hand/hoof shake.

“Oh umm well my name is Princess Twilight Sparkle nice to meet you Mr. Stone.” She said accepting my hand/hoof shake. Twilight was a lavender mare, her mane was a dark blue with a pink and purple highlight running through it. Her eyes were a dark amethyst.

“Please call me Tony I don't like all that Mr or sir stuff not really my forte so to speak.”

“Ah'm Applejack nice ta meet ya Tony.” The orange mare greeted. Applejack had a southern accent with a Stetson hat to go along with it. Her eyes were emerald green with white freckles on her cheeks.

Her mane was a pale gold almost like straw but silkier and it was tied in a ponytail along with her tail. When she shook my hand it felt like I just grabbed a Jackhammer that was already turned on.

“I'm Rainbow Dash the fastest Pegasus in Equestria. Nice to meet you Tony.” Rainbow Dash said doing a few tight loop-da-loops in the air. She had a sky blue fur color but her mane and tail were the colors of the rainbow. She had magenta eyes similar to Celestia's but her’s had a certain determination in her eye.

“I'm Rarity darling and it is a pleasure to meet the princesses coltfriend. But may I ask that I make you some clothes darling yours are simply… horrid and not smell wise but the stuff you have on your legs looks nice but they have dirt and other dirty things on them.”

She was a white unicorn with like I said before a dark purple stylized mane and tail. Her eyes were a sapphire blue and her accent was one of a modern Englishman.

“... I honestly can't tell if your trying to be nice and want to make me some clothes since I will be living here from now on or you're trying to insult my clothing.” She realized how what she said must have sounded to me and she was very quick to apologize.

“I'm dearly sorry Tony I didn't realize how that must have sounded to you.” (See, told ya.)

“It's alright but next time think before you speak you might just end up hurting someone's feelings. And as for you making me new clothes I have no objection to it but let's get to a more proper setting first. Oh wait… Shoot I don't have any money to pay you with.”

“Tis not a problem darling I will do this free of charge.”

“What!? But don't you need the money for supplies and everything?”

“It will be fine deary. Besides I like to think of this as a new challenge. Oohhh just imagine all the clothing styles to go with your eyes- darling what is wrong with eyes!?”

Everyone looked to me then to my eyes. “What? My eyes have always been green and blue. They were always like for as long as I can remember.”

“Tony your eyes must have changed cause now they are rainbow colored.”

“... WHAT!? Rainbow colored!?” I whip out my phone and go to the camera app. I switch it over to face view and I find my eyes now are the color of the rainbow… ‘Huh they don't look half bad in fact they kinda look cool.’

I feel a hoof on my shoulder and I turn to see the worried face of Luna. “Stone are you alright?” She asks.

“Yeah but this” I point towards my eyes. “is definitely not supposed to look like this. My right is supposed to be blue while my left is green. Now my eyes are the rainbow spectrum. Although it does kinds look cool. You gotta admit that.”

“Stone this is serious something could be very wrong with you.”

“Well do you know any kind of sickness that can make people's eyes go rainbow then I think I'm fine. I swear you ponies worry too much.” I said while going back to walking down the path.

“Or you don't worry enough.” Luna says probably thinking I couldn't hear her but I'm not gonna let her know I cou- “I heard that.”

‘What the Fuck mouth you weren't supposed to say that!’ I thought mentally scolding my own mouth. ‘Why am I so honest all of a sudden what's wrong with me?’

I continued down the path trying to ignore the conversation they started. I start to feel thirsty so I stop and take my pack off. Kneeling down I set the backpack down and reach in for my Sprite.

Pulling out the bottle I uncap it and take a slow swig as to not make it lose its fizz. “Hey what's that?”

“Gah!” I choke on my drink from the sudden pink pony that appeared right besides me. I feel a hoof pat my back helping me with the coughing. “*cough cough* tha-*cough cough*-nks.” I continue to do that for a little more until I don't feel the need to cough again.

“Who the hell… did that!?” I said trying to regain my breath.

“Sorry I didn't mean for you to choke on your drink.” Said the pink pony but her mane was no longer poofy. It was straight along with her tail. Her usually bright pink fur is now a dull pink. All around she looked very depressing.

“It's fine just don't sneak up on people when they're taking a drink.” I say trying to cheer her up. It helps a little but she doesn't go back to being her bubbly self.

“Hey why don't you take a sip of my drink will that make ya feel better?”

She nods and I hold up my Sprite for her to drink. She takes it with her hoofs and brings it to her lips. She tilts back some to let the liquid go down the bottle and into her mouth. Once it touches her tongue her eyes widen and her mane is poofy again. How no clue.

Her fur has earned back it's bright and vibrant pink.

“Wow Stony that was awesome! It was so bubbly and fizzy! What's it called?”

“Umm. Soda? But the name of this specific one is called Sprite. Do you guys not have soda or something?”

“No but I would like a taste.”

“We would like one as well.”

“If it's as awesome as Pinkie says then I want to try it as well.”

“While it does seem kinda brutish I am curious as to how it tastes.”

“I want to see if it's tastier than my family's signature apple cider.”

“I would like a taste as well so I can compare your drink to those we have here.”

“Umm I would like a taste as well… that is if you don't mind.”

“*sigh* Fine you all get a sip but I don't think I have enough for all of you. Come over here Celestia you get the first one.” She got a small and clapped her hooves together in happiness. It was adorable.

“Now I must warn you if you feel the need to burp you must let it out. If you contain it it will go out your nose and trust me when I say it hurts. A lot. Like you have a miniature sun in each of nostrils.” Now that made them look slightly worried.

“Okay Celestia come on over.” She walked to me although a bit hesitant.

“Okay now just bring the bottle to your lips and take a sip.” She did as she was told and her eyes did the same thing Pinkies did.

“Oh my that was delicious Stone it's as Pinkie said it was.”

“Let us try sister.” Luna grabs the bottle and takes a sip. This keeps going with different responses until the butter yellow Pegasus takes her sip and hands me back the bottle which is now 3/4ths empty.

“Stone can I have another sip please.” asks Celestia with puppy dog eyes.

“Fine but no more I like this as well. And until I figure out a way to make more I will not let anyone drink anymore.” I hand Celestia the bottle and she takes another sip. Her mane falters a bit and becomes a tiny bit more… staticky? No straighter, yeah that's it. Like a small bit of electricity rushed through her mane.

“Umm you alright Tia your went all rigid for a second there.”

She snapped out of her daze and looked right at me. “Y- you said my name.” Now she was walking closer to me. Her smile was growing larger and larger each step she took.

“Yeah so what's the big deal?”

“No you said the shortened version… one of my pet names.” Now she had a blush on her cheeks.

“Uh Tia are you alright? Wh-!” She leaped at me which caused me to fall on my back on the dirt road and she started to kiss me. Now she was trying to french kiss me. ‘Hmm do I let this happen or do I go off on her… screw it I already kissed her in another life.’ I opened my mouth and let her tongue in and I must say she is an excellent kisser.

~Meanwhile in the crystal empire~

~Cadence pov~

I was sitting on my throne listening to the noble crystal ponies. ‘Now I know how aunty feels.’ Suddenly a powerful surge of love washed over me and I could tell it was my aunties’s love but a small bit of something I don't recognise. My husband Shiny noticed how my eyes were unfocused.

“Court is on break I need to talk with my wife.” boomed Shining. The throne room quickly emptied out. Once it was empty Shining spoke to me. “Honey what's wrong? You seemed to space out for a second there.”

“Huh wha? Oh sorry Shiny but I feel a powerful disturbance in the love force, a good disturbance but a disturbance nevertheless.” He gave me a confused look.

“Love force?”

“Yes something to do with aunty Celestia and Luna which is strange since Celestia told me that her and Luna would only love one being. But he was gone and he may not return but it appears he has.”

“How long ago was there ‘lover' alive?”

“Before Discord first became a problem over a thousand years ago.”

“WHAT!? He must be an Alicorn or Dragon to live that long ago and still be alive today!”

“Yes but she told me that he was a species that has never before been seen on Equus.”

“So an alien?”

“Yes but when they defeated Discord he seemingly disappeared from the planet. But if the third love magic I feel is him then he has returned but he doesn't seem to love them like he should it's… but still slightly noticeable. It also seems to be growing, slowly but still growing.”

~Back to Stone and the others~

~1st pov Stone~

Hey lips are incredibly soft and her tongue was playing with mine. I never kissed a girl before now so I don't really have anything to compare this to but this was… heavenly. She also tasted a bit like vanilla with a banana aftertaste but hey I have no objections to that.

I started to kiss her back. I put a hand in her mane and softly stroked it. My other hand went behind her head so I could kiss her harder. We didn't stop or separate till we needed to breath and when we did separate we were both heavily panting for air.

“Well that was… unexpectedly good.” I say panting for breath. I hear more hoofsteps and I look over to see Luna wanted a kiss as well. “Let me guess yo-!”

She started to kiss full force and went straight for the french kiss. Luna tasted a bit different than Celestia. Instead of the vanilla with a banana aftertaste Luna tasted like blueberries and a slight chocolate aftertaste.

Luna was an excellent kisser as well but a little sloppier than her sister. Probably from not having kissed anyone else for a very long time. Speaking of time how long ago was that memory?

When we broke apart from the kiss we were both panting. “We have… missed thee… dearly our lover.” Luna breathlessly said.

A giggle escaped Celestia. “Sister your tongue is slipping.”

“We ar- I am sorry sister it is just I haven't seen him for so long.”

“So have I Luna, so have I.”

“Actually I wanted to ask about that, how long was I gone?”

“You have been gone slightly over a thousand years.” Luna said.

“... Forget I asked.” They giggled at that.

“Well let's get going and are you guys alright?” The girls wore heavy blushes covering their entire face.

“P- Princess Celestia P- Princess Luna!?” Twilight said trying to fight her blush. Once they realised what they did and in front of who, they too were blushing.

~Skips forward~

Minutes later we arrived at town. During that time I also met the last 2 ponies and they were named Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy. Fluttershy was a butter yellow pegasus with a slightly pale pink mane.

All the ponies cheered when they saw the princesses and the other 5 ponies. But when they saw me they went dead silent. If I dropped that overused metaphorical pin it would have been heard from the other side of town.

“... Uh Hello.” They didn't move.

“Alright I give up one of you try to explain my being here.” I said crossing my arms. Celestia and Luna tried to stifle a giggle behind a hoof.

“Ponies of Ponyville” Said Celestia in an amplified voice. “I would like to introduce you to Stone the only human in Equestria. He has been here in the past and he sacrificed himself so we could use the Elements of Harmony on Discord so long ago.”

“Now I want you to treat him with the same respect you would treat me and Luna for he is our dearest friend… and our lover.”
