Too Kind. Too Nice. Too Selfless.
The Diary
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Ah okay.... Well.... I guess I'll stay with.... Rainbow Dash? I think we'd be able to have a lot of fun together." I answer with a nod.
"Me?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Yeah. If that's okay with you that is."
"I mean it doesn't really bother me but can you even walk on clouds?" Rainbow Dash asks with a look of confusion.
"No.... Why would that matter?" I ask back.
"She lives in a cloud. If you can't walk on clouds then you can't really stay with her can you?" Twilight Sparkle asks.
"That's true." I mumble.
"I could just move my house to the ground I guess.... It'll really mess up my view of the sky but if I have to then I guess I can do it." Rainbow Dash finishes with a sigh.
"I don't want to be a bother so I guess I'll just think of something else." I say as I scratch the back of my head in thought.
"It's fine. I'll just push it here and it'll all be sorted. If it turns out that you're some boring bookworm then you're moving in with Twilight. Only the coolest get to live with me." Rainbow Dash says proudly.
"I'm not very cool, in fact I'd call myself pretty damn UN cool." I explain.
"Then you can stay with Twilight."
"Rainbow!" Twilight nearly shouts.
"Like I said only the coolest get to stay with me."
"He's staying with you and that's that." Twilight says as she stomps a hoof.
"FINE!" Rainbow Dash groans. "I'll move my house and let him live with me. Celestia damn it."
Rainbow Dash turn around mumbling something under her breath as she slowly flies away with her forelegs crossed.
"Well.... I never thought I'd be kicked out for being uncool...."
"You won't be, now, she'll be back with the house soon so what do you want to do while we wait?" Twilight Sparkle asks.
"I would like to see everything so I could get a good idea of where everything is." I answer.
Twilight then nods her head, sits down and pulls a piece of paper from her mane and a pencil and starts to draw.
"What ya drawing Twilight Sparkle?" I ask.
"A map of the town. You pick the the places you want to see and I'll draw the route." She answers.
"Okay.... How about Carousel Boutique? That place sounds pretty interesting."
"He has a good taste. I like him already." Rarity says in a happy tone.
"Do you like the Carousel Boutique Rarity?" I ask.
"Oh of course! It wouldn't be very good if I didn't like my own establishment would it?" She answers with a smirk.
"Wow. I didn't know you owned it. Okay, I'm more hyped to go now. I can't wait to see what kind of clothes you guys wear since... You know.... You're naked right now, so I'm guessing that being naked is normal since all of the other ponies I see are also naked." I ramble.
"Ooooo! I like him already Twilight! Are you sure you don't want to stay with me Josh?" Rarity excitedly asks.
"No thanks Rarity. If I lived with you then I would probably only get in the way of your shop." I say with a quick shake of my head.
"That's such a shame.... i would've loved to have you stay with me.... Imagine all of the clothes I could've made with your help...." Rarity says as she pretend faints.
I catch her just before she hits the ground. She flitters her eyelashes at me.
"Oh won't you stay with little ol' me?" She asks in a sad voice.
"Sorry Rarity, I already made Rainbow Dash move her house so I can't change my mind now even if I wanted to." I answer. "I can still come round and help you with some of your clothes if you want me to."
"Oh yes! That would be magical darling. I will expect you to help me now so don't think that I'll forget." She says with a smile.
I stand her back up.
"I wouldn't forget. The reason I'm here is to help remember? So I'll be helping everyone."
"Yer won' t be sayin' that after a few weeks. Some of us have ourselves some tough jobs." AppleJack points out.
"No matter how tough the job is I'll help."
"If yer sure." AppleJack mumbles.
"I am."
"I'm back! Did I miss anything?" Rainbow Dash asks.
I turn around and behind me is a large house made of clouds with three rainbows coming out of the sides.
"Well.... I'm not gonna lie.... I didn't expect your house to look like.... That." I mumble.
"Cool right? The coolest house in equestria." Rainbow Dash says as she puffs her chest out proudly.
"Yeah.... Cool...." I answer.
"Now then. Who want's a house tour?" Rainbow Dash asks excitedly.
"There's only one of us here who hasn't seen the inside of your house...." Twilight Sparkle sighs.
"Thanks for ruining the moment. Anyway. Josh, you wan't a house tour?" Rainbow Dash asks.
"Sure. I just want to take the tour of the town first, I think it'll really help me to get to know the surroundings." I explain.
"Fiiiine." Rainbow Dash groans.
"Oh yeah! Before I forget. I got you a welcome present Josh." Twilight Sparkle says as she floats a rectangle package from her mane.
"Thanks."
I smile as I open the package.
"A diary? I'll use it as often as I can. Thanks Twilight." I smile.
"I'm glad you like it. Why not write your first entry?" Twilight Sparkle asks.
"Sure." I answer with a smile.
I open the book and see pure white pages.
"Anyone got a pen?" I ask.
"Here you go." Twilight Says as she floats a pen out of her mane.
"That place is like a mobile storage isn't it?" I joke.
"Well it is good but it can't carry much." She jokes back.
I start to write on the first page of the diary.
'Don't trust them. This all seems a bit too fishy, they're nice without knowing anything about me. I don't trust them for a second. I'm going to be watching my back the whole time. If they offer you any food or water. DON'T accept it. Don't sleep with them around, they could be looking to do something to me. I don't know what but, whatever it is, I'll be ready for it.
Help level - 3/10
It'll stay that way until I start to trust them. I'll help them still but I'll be more cautious around them. Especially around the pink one.
Rarity Trust - 3/10
Rainbow Dash Trust - 4/10
Twilight Sparkle Trust - 2/10
AppleJack Trust - 3/10
Pinkie Pie Trust - 1/10
Fluttershy Trust - 4/10
Let's see how everything unfolds.'
I close the diary and give Twilight her pen back.
"There. The first page is done. Thanks again Twilight." I smile.
"Okay. Are you ready to head out?" Twilight asks.
"Yeah." I answer with a nod.
The ponies start to walk towards the town with me in tow.
"You wanted to visit the Carousel Boutiqe first. Do you still want to go there first or do you want to go somewhere else first?" Twilight asks.
"We should go to...."
Author's Note
What do you think? Your choices will influence the trust levels that Josh will have for each character. The trust level will change how he interacts with each of the characters.
Where should they go to? Should they still visit the Carousel Boutique first? Or should they go to somewhere else first?
