Chapters Author's Note
Hey there! Just some background before you drive into this story.
This story is set before the end of Season 4 of FiM, so Twilight does not have her castle, and she will continue to live in her treehouse. So basically, no Lord Tirek.
That’s really all I’ve got, I’ll answer any other questions in the comments.
Enjoy!
Chapter 1
“Goodnight bitch!”
Anonymous yelled up the stairs to a peeking head. The head belonged to a teenage girl, who couldn’t have been older than 18. She was dressed only in a white robe, and she had the string tied very lightly, teasing his eyes with some cleavage. Other than that she was completely naked. She merely laughed in response to his goodbye.
He then opened the front door of the house and let himself out. Shutting the door after stepping out, Anon reached into the pockets of his shorts. He felt the shape of his car keys, and pulled them out his right pocket. The howl of a cold breeze broke the silence of the night. He felt the tingling chill of ice run up his back and down his legs.
“Damn, I really should’ve worn pants, it’s fucking icy.” Anon muttered to himself as he continued to make his way to his vehicle.
He was dressed only in a grey hoodie, thin black shorts, and a pair of lightly worn Vans. On a night like this, someone going out in clothing like that was asking to be cold. But he didn’t let the weather bother him too much. He was on a mission that night.
A mission to fuck that girl.
She had sent him a private message on Instagram earlier that day. She told his how her parents were gonna for the weekend, and that she wanted him to “come over and hang.” Anon, being the fuckboy that he is, kindly accepted her offer. She was no stranger, he had seen her in the hall at school a handful of times. Sure, they had never had a normal conversation, nor had they ever talked before tonight, but was that gonna stop the sexual predator inside him?
Hell no! Anon said in his head. Wait, what was her name again?
His train of thought was interrupted by the feeling on his face hitting the side of a car. His Jeep, to be exact.
“Dumbass.” Anon cursed himself as he clicked his key and unlocked the driver side door.
He opened the door of his black Wrangler and let himself inside. Being a taller guy, Anon didn’t have much trouble getting into the elevated vehicle. Others though, didn’t fare so well. Many of the girls he’d taken home in the past needed help getting in his Jeep. One time this one girl slipped on the side of the doorstep and fell right on her ass.
Dumb bitch. He thought as he recalled the memory. He chucked a bit after thinking of it some more.
He settled into the seat and inserted the key into the ignition and turned. The engine sputtered a little, but then roared to life. All of the lights on the dashboard lit up and then faded until only the vital gauges remained. He brought his attention to the fuel gauge. Half a tick off full.
This put a wide smile on Anon’s face. “Awesome.” He mimicked Rainbow Dash as he expressed his joy.
He reached over to the door side and grabbed the seat belt. He slid the metallic piece across his chest and into the lock. Once it had clicked, he reached for the gear shift. Just as he was going to put the car into drive, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
It’s two in the morning, who’s texting me now?
For other kids his age, being up at 2 am was no big deal. But it was the Wednesday before Christmas, and they had just gotten out of school for the holidays. Most kids just wanted to catch up on sleep on a night like this. But not Anon. He was makin’ moves.
He pulled a black iPhone out of his pocket and brought it up to his face so he could see. It actually wasn’t a text, it was a Snapchat notification from his friend Brett. Same difference. He unlocked his phone and checked to see what Brett had sent him.
‘yo u still got the shit for tmrw?’ Is exactly what he typed. Despite the shitty English, Anon knew what Brett was asking.
He sent back a simple “Yup” and turned on his phone’s flashlight. He unbuckled and directed the beam of white light at the pair of back seats behind him. He searched around the area with his eyes and doubled checked the “shit for tmrw.”
Brett was referring to the bags of weed and various pills, along with cases with bottles of Hennessy that Anon had placed in the trunk of the Jeep with caution. He also had boxes of rolling paper and a small supply of the classic red plastic party cup. All of this was not for him, sadly. There was going to be a massive “Christmas” party at Sydney Baxter’s house. Everyone was going to be there, it was the most hyped up party of the year, the party where freshman and seniors alike got fucked up together.
Anon and Brett weren’t going to get fucked up though.
“We’re gonna sell of this shit and make bank!” He remembered Brett telling him yesterday. “Just hold on to all of it until Friday, my mom’s been a bitch lately.”
That’s the part that Anon didn’t like. He didn’t want to keep all of this stuff in his Jeep until then. Not that he was scared of being caught by the police, he just didn’t like all of the space being taken up.
“I got you, Brett.” He recalled telling his friend.
It’s whatever though. As long as I get my cut.
Along with the drugs, or as he affectionately called them, the party supplies - a clear Pinkie reference, intentional of course - he had the majority of his personal belongings. He was supposed to be on his way to his older sister’s apartment. It was a tradition of his to stay with her for the few days leading up to Christmas and then go back to his Mom’s house to celebrate the holiday. His sister didn’t give a single damn about what he did, so he stayed with her a lot just so he could do whatever.
What he had brought with him consisted of mainly his clothing, his PS4, and a favorite among his collection of items, his Glock 19. It was a gift from his father, given to him many years ago to be used once he was of age.
But when his father was shot and killed by a masked gunman during a bank robbery, he swore to use it only for self-defense. That was two years ago. And while Brett had asked him once or twice to pull a prank on someone with the weapon, Anon was too scarred emotionally to allow his friend to do such a thing. Joking with a firearm was like mocking his father’s death to him.
Anon snapped out of his thoughts and back to reality when an alarm on his phone rang out, disrupting the silence. His phone read 2:30 AM and the message which he had previously wrote for himself.
“Go home fag”
He had set it just in case he were to fall asleep after fucking that girl. Which reminded him, he needed to get to his sister’s place. It was nearly three in the morning, not that she’d care that he was out this late; he didn’t want to mess up his sleep schedule.
With that, he put his seatbelt back on, and plugged a dangling aux cord into his phone. Anon pulled up his favorite playlist, and hit shuffle. Star Shopping by Lil Peep began to play softly and loosened the eerie vibe of the dark and foggy night. He pressed his foot lightly on the gas, and started his way to his sister’s apartment.
Although the weather on this particular night wasn’t the best, he still enjoyed driving alone, even under these conditions. Driving with your friends is awesome, blasting music, speeding, and overall dicking around. All that was great, but sometimes Anon liked to get away from everyone and leave himself to his thoughts.
After a few songs, Anon was about half the way to his sister’s. He had just made a turn onto a thin, two-lane back road that was much darker and windier than usual. On the sides of the road were deep ditches and seemingly endless amounts of forest.
He didn’t pay much attention to this though, he was too lost in his thoughts to be fully aware of his surroundings. Adding to his ignorance was the fact that he was deadly tired, and beginning to fall asleep behind the wheel. He had nodded off behind the wheel before, but never had it happened while he was alone, at night.
Anon felt his eyelids being dragged down by forces he could not combat. He did his best to keep his strained eyes open, but despite his efforts he slowly slumped back into his seat and let his tired brain take control. He involuntarily loosened his grip on the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to jerk slightly and cause his unconscious body to lean forward. All of his weight shifted and his foot put pressure on the gas pedal, accelerating the Jeep to near highway speeds.
Speeding up and jerking wildly due to the wheel being free from his grip, Anon awoke to find he was leaning on the dashboard going 80 miles per hour. The Jeep had started leaning toward the opposite lane and was soon going to go off the road. In a panic he grabbed the steering wheel and attempted to correct the vehicles position. He completed this action was much more strength than required, as he overcorrected and lost control of his car.
The tires no longer had traction to the road and he began to swerve wildly. Anon, in a moment of pure genius, tried to gain control again, and only sent himself in the direction of the forest to his right. He braced himself for the incoming crash.
There was no guard rail on the side of the road, so the Jeep went right off the side and toward a deep ditch. The Wrangler was a tough vehicle, practically build to withstand crashes. Humans like Anon however, aren’t designed in that fashion.
The front of the Jeep slammed into the ground with sizeable force; at the same time Anon’s head hit the top of the steering wheel. Hard. The impact had knocked him out cold.
Is this it? Was the last thought that went through his head before the darkness closed in and he lost consciousness.
—————————————————————————————————————
The Princess of Friendship was exhausted.
Twilight had just returned from a tiring day in Canterlot, a day full of royal appearances, meetings, and stand-ins. It was one of the busiest days she’d ever had, and that’s saying a lot, considering it is Twilight Sparkle.
It was the middle of the night now, and all she wanted to do was get some rest.
“You know Spike, its days like today that make you wish you weren’t a princess sometimes.”
She said to her assistant, chuckling a bit afterward.
“I wouldn’t know Twi.”
“Oh, yeah, that’s right. You aren’t a princess.”
“Sadly, no.”
Spike laughed at his own remark. Twilight just gave him a motherly look of disregard as she rolled her eyes at the dragon.
“What’s on the schedule for tomorrow?”
“Uh let me check” Spike said, walking to a nearby table and picking up a scroll off of it.
“A whole lot of nothing, actually. Oh, you do have a Pinkie party to attend at noon, but other than that, you’re free.”
“Really?!”
Twilight’s face lit up with glee.
“Yup.”
“That’s such a relief. I was hoping for a lighter schedule, I need to get some studying done and I haven’t had time recently!”
“You were studying on the train back from Canterlot today.”
“Well that wasn’t as much time as I had wanted to study for.”
“It was a three hour ride, Twi.”
“Well, you know me!”
“Heh, you and your books.”
Twilight just smiled back at the young reptilian.
“It’s a little stuffy in here, do you think you could open up a window or something?”
“Sure thing, Spike!”
The Princess hopped up from her spot on her bed and made her way toward her balcony door, which doubled as a window. Her horn light up and she used her magic to turn the handle and open the glass door. She swung it open wide and was greeted by a cool breeze. It was a warmer night than usual, but that made it perfect.
She stepped outside on to her balcony and looked out over Ponyville. It was very late at night, and nopony was out and about. She looked further, past the town and saw the edge of the Everfree forest, as well as the small dot which was Fluttershy’s cottage.
She opened up her wings and let the comfortable air flow through them. It was such a soothing feeling, and it sent shivers down her spine. Having wings was still relatively new to her, but she enjoyed them very much. Although she had teleportation, wings made it easier to get around when magic wasn’t appropriate. Overall, this princess thing wasn’t so bad.
BOOM
Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud noise accompanied by a flash of white light, both of which come from an area of the Everfree. An area awfully close to Fluttershy’s place. Even after the light faded, Twilight stood still on her balcony, thinking about and analyzing what had just happened.
What in Equestria was that?!
Was it a meteor?
Is it somepony?
Somepony good? Evil?
Is it even alive? Was it ever?
“Twilight, what was that noise?”
The purple mare snapped back into reality to see Spike standing next to her. He sported a half-scared, half-confused look on his little face.
“I don’t know Spike, but I plan to find out!”
She left the balcony and dragged the dragon along with her, flying her way to the floor of the treehouse. Once they touched earth, the princess turned to her assistant.
“Spike, I need to send a letter to Fluttershy!”
“U-uh, ok.”
He ran out of the room for a brief moment and returned with a pen and scroll. He looked to Twilight and nodded, ready to write down whatever she spoke.
“Dear Fluttershy,”
—————————————————————————————————————
“And they all lived happily ever after. Now wasn’t that a nice story Angel?”
The yellow pegasus put down the children’s book and looked upon the snow white bunny. He was fast asleep.
“Well it looks like someone was tired.”
She giggled as she got up from the chair she was sitting in and made her way to her bookshelf. Putting the book back in its place, she walked into her kitchen and looked the clock on the wall.
“Oh my, I didn’t know it was this late! I should get some rest.”
She spun around and faced the stairs and began to make her away towards them. The mare started to slowly trot up the steps when a wave of exhaustion hit her. She hadn’t realized how tired she was.
I really need to start going to bed sooner. I wouldn’t want to miss Pinkie’s party because I was sle-
BOOM
Her thoughts were cut short by the powerful noise that rang out into the night. She looked around only to see that the room was, for a couple of seconds, very bright due to a white light pouring in from the windows.
As the glare of the flash began to dim down, she fly to one of her windows and looked out. It seemed like the noise and flash came from the same place, the Everfree Forest.
“Eep!”
Fluttershy let out a sound of fear as she discovered the source of the disturbance. Not only did the sound and light come from the Everfree, it’s looked like it was not too far from her cottage. This worried the element of kindness.
But she didn’t let her mind dwell on that thought too long. She needed to check on Angel to see if he was ok. She rushed into the room were he was staying, and sure enough, he was sound asleep.
“How in Equestria?”
The small rabbit was still tucked in where she had left him, and totally unaware of what had just unfolded. A look of relief stretched across the face of the winged pony.
“Wow Angel, you sure are a heavy sleeper.”
She spoke with a whisper to keep him from stirring.
But whatever could all that have been?
She wondered to herself, as she was still dumbfounded at what had caused the unusual disruption.
All of a sudden, another flash of light, this one smaller and more familiar to the pegasus, came before her as a scroll appeared in the air. The rolled paper then fell into her awaiting hooves.
“A scroll, from Twilight? At this hour?”
She unrolled the parchment and began to read.
“Maybe this will explain what just happened.”
She read the message thoroughly, and repeated it to herself in her head.
Dear Fluttershy,
I would tell you that I’m sorry for disturbing you at this time of night, but I’m afraid you know as well as I do the reason I am contacting you.
I have concern for what the source of the light and noise was, and from where I can see on my balcony, it seemed to have come from the Everfree Forest, not to mention an area of the forest close to your cottage. If I was able to investigate myself at this time, I would. But I have had quite a busy day and I am exhausted, although I will be over first thing in the morning.
But I am going to ask this of you. I will not be offended if you decline my request. In case of an immediate threat, or if somepony needs help, I would like you to go and check out what has happened. I know this is a tall order, and that it could be dangerous and scary, but I know you can do it Fluttershy. I have been brave when others weren’t before, I believe that you can do it again.
All I am asking is that you see what has happened, and tell me about it once I have arrived in the morning. Again, if you do not want to do this, don't worry. Morning is only a few hours away, but there could be something that need immediate attention.
I await your decision, and I will be at your cottage promptly at sunrise.
Princess Twilight Sparkle
“Oh my goodness, Twilight is asking ME to investigate the noise and light?”
The yellow mare’s hooves began to shake, and she wanted to dart to her room and hide.
“No, I can't just hide! What if somepony needs help, or what if Equestria is in danger?”
Her emotions were battling with each other, but she had already made up her mind.
“My friend needs my help, and I’m going to do just that!”
She said with triumph as she walked over to her day pack and swung it over her back.
“Angel, I'll be back soon, don’t you worry!”
The words fell on deaf ears as the bunny was deep in sleep.
With that, she opened up the door to her cottage, and set off into the Everfree Forest.
“I hope everything is alright.”
She said with a justified fear in her voice as she made her way in the direction of the disturbance.
“Don’t be silly Shy, everything is fine.”
She reassured herself.
“Everything is fine.”
“And then I came out from the behind the bush and saw your cute as- I mean, I saw you.”
He looked away from Fluttershy for a quick second, realizing his mistake.
Fuck, I let that slip
The mare bushed a deep crimson after hearing the human’s comment. She could assume what would have been said if he continued, but it surprised her nonetheless. Nobody had ever called her cute, besides her parents when she was growing up, but that was a long time ago. She didn’t know what to think of the compliment; she didn’t know how to flirt back.
Was it ok to flirt with another species?
Anon had just finished telling her what had happened prior to his arrival in Equestria, minus the part where he had sex with a random girl. His excuse for being out late was getting something to eat. He didn’t want to expose himself for being the player that he was, or at least, that’s what he called himself. What would Fluttershy think of him sleeping around? Was that even a thing in Equestria? Or would it be a total culture shock? He didn’t want to take that risk, as he could jeopardize his reputation, or at least when he had established one.
“Oh well, that’s so strange. I wonder how you ended up here.”
“You’re telling me, this is the last thing I would’ve thought would happen.”
The winged pony looked to the sky for a moment and put an odd look on her face. Anon could only guess that she was deep in thought. Finally she spoke up.
“Hey, Anon?”
“What’s up”
“Since we have some more time till we get back, do you think I could ask you some questions about, you know, you?”
This didn’t surprise the teenager. He was wondering why she had been abnormally quiet during his story. He thought at some point she would ask what an iPhone was or why he wore clothes or whatever other thought had crossed her mind. But no, she stayed silent and took the whole thing in. Now, she was going to get some things off her chest.
“Sure, fire away.”
“What’s a Jeep? Is that the big metal cage back there?”
She gestured behind her with her hooves, pointing to the way that they had just come from.
“Well first it's not a cage, it’s what we humans call a car. A type of vehicle that people use to get places faster than we can walk. Powered by a gasoline engine, which makes the wheels turn and the car go. My specific type of car is called a Jeep Wrangler.”
Anon could tell by her reaction that she wanted to ask more about his Jeep, but she didn’t. He could her more later.
“Hmm, well here in Equestria, we don’t have cars. We have carriages. Ooo, and there’s a train too!”
She said with excitement in her voice.
“I see, what else do you want to know?”
“Hmm let’s see.”
The yellow pegasus again went into deep thought. She suddenly looked at him with a “Eureka!” expression on her face. Anon almost expected a light bulb to appear over her head.
“What do you call those things on the end of your arms?”
She looked to his hands and fingers. Again, another expected question.
“Well these are my fingers-
He then wiggled his digits in front of her with emphasis.
“-and they are connected to what you call, hands.”
He opened up his palms and showed them to her. She took great interest in the appendages, and wondered other thing about human anatomy. He was definitely a mammal, and a male one at that, meaning he had a..
Stop Fluttershy, you’re getting carried away
Her cheeks turned a beet red and she turned away from the man beside her. By then he had finished his demonstration and continued walking. He did notice her looking at him, and then blushing mad hard and looking away.
Is she, checking me out? No way, not Fluttershy, she wouldn’t
But it was true, she was. Fluttershy cursed herself for it, but she found him attractive. He was quite handsome, could she ever say that about a human? Although she couldn’t see much of him due to his clothing, she could tell he was a somewhat athletically inclined. She hoped he would remove the garments later, so she could get a glimpse of his naked body.
Oh Fluttershy, calm down. You’ve only just met this stal-human, and you’re already-
She didn’t know how to handle these thoughts. She always been so shy about her feelings, especially these kinds of feelings. She had never thought these things when looking at a stallion, but now here she was. She thought a human — a species she had just found out existed — was cute! This was new to Fluttershy, but she tried to keep her cool and asked other question.
“Ok I have another.”
“Shoot.”
“How old are you?”
“Seventeen.”
Oh my, he’s my age
She hadn’t expected this answer from him. She assumed that humans lived around the same time ponies do, and she also he guessed that he was a younger adult, not a teenager like herself.
“Oh, well you’re just about my age.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes, you are. I thought you were older, uh, no offensive of course.”
She hide behind her mane as she finished speaking. She didn’t mean to say that, but it came out anyways.
“None taken. I actually get that a lot.”
“Really?”
The mare’s ears perked up at his response. She was glad he hadn’t upset him.
“Oh yeah, people think I’m older than I actually am all the time. Maybe because because of my height. And when I had a beard, I did look pretty old.
Anon reflected back on the time of his first beard. It covered the majority of his face, and it looked pretty damn good. His mom said he had to shave it before senior year though, so he did.
“Oh that makes sense. You are pretty tall, even though it seems humans are taller than most ponies.”
“You think there’s a pony taller than me?”
This was a legit question from Anon. He was curious at the scale of ponies. From what he could guess, she was no taller than four feet, as she almost came up to his chest. Anon stood at 6’2”, but maybe other, more royal ponies were more sizeable than the shy pegasus.
“Well the only pony I can think of who could be your size is Princess Celestia.”
I knew it
“She might be your height, maybe even taller. The next best would be Princess Luna, although I think she’s shorter than you.”
“Princess Celestia? Princess Luna?”
Anon of course knew of the princesses, but he wasn’t just gonna not ask about them. He couldn’t reveal his knowledge of the pony world to her. It could like, break space and time, or who knows what.
“Oh yes, they are the rulers of Equestria. Princess Celestia rules the day, and Princess Luna rules the night.”
“Makes sense, considering their names.”
He chuckled a bit, not out of disrespect but at the fact he knew everything about this world and she had no clue.
“Oh yeah, I guess that does make sense.”
She let out a little laugh herself, and caught the attention of Anon in the process.
I dunno what she’s laughing at, but she keeps getting cuter
Anon didn’t know what make her stand out from any other girl he had seen, besides the facts she was a talking horse. She acted just like a human girl, but her whole demeanor was just so, cute and innocent. That was really attractive.
He found his eyes wandering away from the path ahead and over to the yellow mare beside him. He slowed his pace slightly, to give himself a better view of her. She was absolutely stunning.
Her figure was so sleek, her curves were subtle, but still present nonetheless, and her plot was tight and defined. He could only imagine putting his hands on her soft flank, touching her cutie mark, and feeling all over her small body. It was like the pony was made to be handled.
Come on Anon, snap out of it. You’re better than this
He told himself to stop fantasizing over this pony, but he enjoyed it too much. This pony was utterly beautiful. Everything about her was attractive, her cute facial expressions, her voice, the way she acted, all innocent and shy. Her wings intrigued him as well.
He had always liked pegasi more than the other two pony variants. The wings were a very sensitive part of their bodies, or at least, that’s how clopfics portrayed them to be. Oh, how he longed to stroke those beautiful feathers and massage her stems, or whatever you call the part that connects her back and her wing. He didn’t know what they were called, but he was determined to touch them.
But all this reminded him of someone else. Or somepony else he should say.
Rainbow Dash
The name echoed in his head. He had remembered that not only was there Fluttershy, but Rainbow Dash, as well as the other Mane Six. This excited him more. He couldn’t wait to meet them all.
Damn, I feel like a little girl
While Anon was geeking out over what would happen in the days to come, the pair exited the forest and came up upon an open field. It was a quiet and peaceful night, and the only thing that could be seen other than the rolling hills was the faint outline of Fluttershy’s cottage. There was light or two on inside, but other than that, the scene before their eyes was dark.
“Well Anon, we finally made it out.”
“Huh, what?’’
He snapped out of his daydream and turned his attention to the being next to him.
“My cottage is just up ahead!”
She said with cheer as she began to make her way toward the small building, this time with more pep in her step.
Anon followed her and soon enough, they were at her doorstep.
“Ok Anon, I’m gonna ask you to be quiet now, Angel Bunny is inside, fast asleep, and I would hate to wake him this late.”
She said with a whisper.
“Of course, just show me the way inside and I won't make a sound.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
With that, Fluttershy turned the handle of the door with her hoof and slowly began to open the door.
Not gonna question how she just did that
The cottage was dimly lit, but enough to make out the surroundings and see where you were going. Once the door was wide open enough, she stepped inside, lightly trotting deeper into her humble abode.
Anon followed her as she made her way to the kitchen. On the way, we passed through the living room, in which there was a sleeping bunny in a tiny bed next to the coffee table. From the looks of it, he was lights out. They soon reached the kitchen where Fluttershy quietly pulled out a stool and sat down in it. She let out a short sigh of relief and looked to a clock on the wall.
Ten till three.
“I am so tired, and I’m sure you are too. We should go up to bed tomorrow, seeing that you have a big day tomorrow.”
Big day tomorrow, what now?
“Me?”
“Yes you, silly.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, my friend Twilight is coming over to see you. She wanted me to check out what had happened, and she said she be here a dawn to inspect for herself.
Oh shit
“Well ok then. And you’re right, I’m tired as fu-“
Anon stopped himself from swearing, as he didn’t know how she would react. She looked at him with confusion, but shrugged it off.
“I’m just really tired.”
“Well let’s get to bed then, shall we?”
She put a smile on her face and dismounted the kitchen stool. She made her way to the stairs, with Anon following close behind. The two started heading upstairs, but something come to Anon’s mind as they went up.
“Hey Fluttershy.”
“Yes, Anon?”
“I’m guessing you have a guest bedroom up here?”
“I don’t actually, I only have one bedroom, and it’s mine.”
“Well, where am I sleeping?”
“Uh, well, I was hoping that you wouldn’t mind if, uh…”
Her voice trailed off as her face became a vibrant shade of rose and she looked away from Anon.
“Mind if what?”
“Well I was thinking that, uh, because, uh, Angel is sleeping in the living room, that uh, maybe we could, uh, you know, share a bed.”
Anon knew exactly what she was implying.
“If we can share a bed?”
“Oh, uh, yes, if that’s ok with you, of course.”
Oh hell yeah I’m ok with it
“Oh no worries, Flutters, I’ve shared a bed with a friend before. Take it that they were guy friends (no homo) but that doesn’t mean I can't with you, you’re still my friend. We are friends, right?”
“Of course we are Anon. I’m glad you see it that way.”
Fluttershy had never thought of any of her friends as attractive, but this one was different. Although she had a bit of feelings for the human, friendship was a good start.
“I hope I can fit though, I’m a pretty big dude.”
“Oh no, you’ll be fine, my bed is very spacious!”
Ha, spacious
“Great!”
The two continued their way upstairs and into Fluttershy’s room. It wasn’t much, like a bed, a dresser or two, and a window. But simplicity didn’t bother Anon. He wasn’t much for overdone living spaces anyways. He’d always hated ideas like, formal living rooms. He pawned them off as a waste of space.
And sure enough, like she said, her bed was sizeable.
Anon pulled the straps of his backpack off his shoulders and relaxed his tense muscles. He kicked off his shoes and socks, and sat down on the bed. It was very comfortable, almost reminded him of a Tempur-pedic. You know, those memory foam beds. Those were his favorite.
By the time had had made his way to the bedside, the shy pegasus was already laying on the bed. Her tight body was stretched out across the bed for his eyes to behold.
Wow, she really is something
“Hey Anon, should I shut off the, uh, lights now?”
The shy pegasus asked cautiously, as if it was an abnormal thing to say.
Anon interrupted his thoughts to see Fluttershy looking at him. She was waiting patiently for an answer from the strange creature. Which reminded him; why was she sharing her home with a foreign being she just meet, nonetheless sharing a bed? It really blew his mind at how kind she really was.
“Uh, yeah, give me one second.”
Anon turned away from the mare and set his feet down on the floor. He hoisted himself up and took a step away from the bed.
Now I’ll see if she has the hots for me
Anon was sure that Fluttershy had never seen a human’s naked torso, but she was about to. He took hold of the bottom of his sweatshirt with both of his hands and started to pull it off. He had positioned himself so that he wasn’t facing the bed, but was parallel to where the yellow pony was laying.
Anon didn’t have any shirt on under the hoodie, so he slowly began to reveal his bare chest. At first, Fluttershy had wondered what he was doing, but now, it was clear. As he removed the garment, she watched with wide eyes, taking in every second of the underdressing with perverted pleasure. She made sure that he couldn’t see her; she didn’t how he would react if he caught her staring.
He’s so, toned
It wasn’t normal for Fluttershy to look at anypony this way, especially a human, but she couldn’t gather the strength to look away from what was before her.
Anon was the starting shooting guard for his high school’s basketball team, or at least he was before he wound up in Equestria. He is a very well conditioned athlete, with chiseled features and a decently noticeable six pack of abdominals. He was the star of the team, and was in great physical shape. This is what made him not only a jock at school, but a schoolgirls wet dream. Anon was all for fucking a new girl every night. He’s a fuckboy, after all.
And Fluttershy had fallen victim to his physique.
By now, Anon had completed removed his hoodie, and was standing before the shy pony, half naked. He hadn’t yet turned his attention to her, but if he had, he would have been looking at a literal tomato. The mare was a vibrant shade of red, and she only seemed to be getting brighter in color by the second.
Anon could almost sense the heat coming of her face. He threw his arms back in a faked stretching motion. Extending his arms out and subtly flexing his biceps. The softball-sized arm muscles showed themselves, in full view of the reddening pegasus.
Oh my goodness
Fluttershy was now a tone of red that artists back on Earth wish they could recreate. Anon put his arms back to his sides and turned to face the bed. The winged pony saw this and her head into the pillow she had been laying on.
“Eep!”
Even with the face of the mare covered by a pillow, Anon could still make out a slight red hue on the side of her cheek.
Interesting
Anon loved to tease girls, but it seemed, different with this pony.
“Are you ok, Flutters?”
Hearing Anon giving her a nickname so soon only made her blush more.
“Oh, it's, nothing…”
She let out a light whimper as she dug her face deeper into her pillow.
I lowkey feel bad, she’s so innocent
He knew that Fluttershy had been staring, but he didn’t blame her for it. He kind of asked for it. She was so innocent and cute, he could tell no one had ever done something like that around her. Er, nopony.
Anon walked back to the side of the bed and sat down. He opted to leave his shorts on, as it seemed like the respectful thing to do. He grabbed hold of the blanket and pulled it over himself after he had laid down on the mattress. He rested his head on the pillow, and then looked of to Fluttershy, who still he had her head stuffed into a pillow.
“Well, you can hit the lights now.”
“Um, ok.”
She spoke quietly, and with a slight quiver in her voice, almost as if she was afraid, or embarrassed. Probably the latter.
Fluttershy lifted her head from the pillow and revealed her face. Her cheeks was still a deep crimson, and she avoided looking at the man next to her. She reached to the bedside lamp with her hoof and turned out the light. The room went dark and she returned to her spot on the bed.
“Go-Goodnight, Anon”
She stuttered over the words a little, still reeling from what she had seen just moments ago.
“Goodnight Fluttershy!”
Poor girl, eh, pony
Anon sat for a moment began to process the events of the last few hours.
Wow, I’m really in Equestria. This shit is crazy.
And I’m sleeping next to Fluttershy right now.
Anon pinched himself on the arm, just to make sure he wasn’t dreaming.
Nope, I’m really in this bitch.
He smiled to himself in the darkness of the bedroom.
I better sleep, tomorrow is going to be full of questions
Anon chuckled silently, thinking about Twilight and everything she was going to ask him about. He got comfortable, and closed his eyes.
“Hey, Fluttershy?”
“Yes Anon?”
This time, the mare spoke clear and normal.
“Thank you, for everything.”
“You’re welcome, Anon.”
Anon took a deep, satisfying breath.
No Fluttershy, you’re welcome
Anon felt a light, warm breeze caress his face as he opened his eyes.
Looking into the sky, he winced at the bright sun and turned away from it. His hands reached out to touch the ground, meeting blades of grass and loosened dirt. He was lying flat on the ground, surrounded by a peaceful environment. He sat up and took a glance at the setting before him.
“What the fuck? How the fuck?”
Right next to him was a full size basketball, an exact replica of the one at his local park. Come to think of it, he was at his neighborhood park. The playground, the court, the pool and the open shelter, it was all too familiar to him.
His only question, was how?
Anon stood up and stretched his arms. He was wearing a white tank top and black athletic shorts, as well as a pair of Nike running shoes, his typical attire for going to the park.
“Wait, could this be a…”
His voice trailed off as he lifted up his hand and stared at it. He then snapped his fingers, causing a basketball to appear out of thin air. Catching the falling item, he smiled with childish enthusiasm.
“No fucking way!”
He walked onto the court and started bouncing the ball. It had been a bit of time since he last dribbled a basketball, but he was still sharp as ever. Through his legs, behind his back, spin move into a snatch back; he still had it. He turned his attention to one of the two goals and looked at the rim and net.
“If I can make a ball appear, then maybe I can do this.”
Anon smiled big as he faced away from the goal and placed the ball into his left hand; his weak hand. He then launched the ball above his head and towards the goal. He spin around fast as he didn’t want to miss what he thought would happen next. And sure enough, it did.
With the signature splash noise, the ball went straight through the net without flaw. Certainly a one in a million shot. Or toss. Whichever makes more sense.
“Aw hell yea!”
He pumped his fist in triumph and began speaking once more.
“I haven’t had one of these dreams in forever! The type where you can control it. I forgot exactly what they’re called, though.”
“The correct term is lucid dreaming.”
Anon heard a voice arise from behind him, a voice which he swore he had heard before.
Could that be her?
He turned around to face the source of the voice. A few years away stood a tall, blue and purple alicorn mare. She had a mane that was starry like the night sky. It was flowing through the air as if the wind had caught it, but it was a day without breeze. She dawned a midnight black tiara, as well as necklace of the same color, with a crescent moon in the center. She also wore what appeared to be glass shoes. She was a good deal taller than Fluttershy, only a few inches shorter than Anon himself.
Princess Luna, holy fuck
Anon figured he should keep that thought to himself, for reasons previously mentioned. You know, the whole, “If-they-knew-that-I-knew-about-them-shit-would-hit-the-fan.” Yeah, that. Anyways.
“I was going along my usual business of checking ponies dreams when I came across a dream which was being dreamed by a creature that I had never seen before.”
She said dream three times
“Never seen a human before?”
Anon said to the princess with confidence, rewarding him with a chuckle from the royal.
“A hu- what?
“A human, that’s the species that I am.”
“I see. You speak to me like you have interacted with my kind before.”
“I have, a pony by the name of Fluttershy.”
Princess Luna was taken aback by this statement. She didn’t know why his dream was revealed to her, but it seemed that this human had come into contact with an element.
Interesting, he has met Kindness
“You have made contact with Fluttershy?”
“That is correct.”
“And how have you done this? Surely you are not native to this world, are you?”
“No Miss, I am not from here. You see I was minding my own business when suddenly I ended up here, for reasons I cannot explain. Fluttershy found me and took me under her, uh, wing I guess? So yes, I’m new in town.”
Vague as can be, but I’m sure she got the gist of it
“Hmm, this is very interesting. Well human, may I ask of your name?”
“Of course, your Highness. My name is Anonymous.”
“A plea-, how did you know that I am royalty?”
The princess had a legitimate look on confusion on her face, much to the amusement of Anon, as if the fact that she was a princess wasn’t obvious.
“Well, it isn’t too hard to figure, considering the tiara, necklace, slippers, and your, physique.
Anon finished off the sentence in a seductive tone, lifting his eyebrows in a subtle gesture. The Princess of the Night blushed ever so slightly as she turned her head to side. A piece of her hair fell over her face as she cast a cute gaze in the human’s direction. She gathered herself and turned back to him.
“Ahem, as I was saying, it is a pleasure to meet you Anonymous, my name is Princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria.”
“Co-ruler?”
Anon knew about the pair of princesses, but he wanted to continue talking to her.
“Yes, my sister, Princess Celestia, and I rule Equestria side by side. She rules the day, I, the night.”
“Wait, you rule the night?”
“Yes.”
“That's pretty fucking sick, actually.”
Once again, Luna was dumbfounded after hearing what Anon had to say.
“What do you mean by that? ‘Pretty fucking sick’?”
“I’ve always liked the night more than the day. It’s awesome that you rule the night. Night is so interesting and mysterious.”
The alicorn mare smiled at this. Nobody had ever said something like that to her. She always had felt like she was in her sister’s shadow, like she was a sideshow almost. Receiving a compliment from this foreign creature gave her a feeling that she hadn’t experienced for sometime. Genuine happiness.
“Anonymous, that’s one of the nicest things someone has ever said to me. I wish to thank you for treating me with such pleasantries.”
“Don’t, your presence is enough thanks.”
Anon winked as he ended the sentence. She smiled warmly at him, and then looked around her at the surroundings.
“While I’d love to conversate with you further, I’m afraid that I have duties to fulfill.”
“Of course, you are a princess after all.”
“It was a pleasure, Anonymous. I will be sure to inform Princess Celestia of your arrival, as I’m sure she will have the utmost interest in a human. As for me, I hope that we may meet in the real world and get to know each other more.”
She gave him an almost lustful look, much to Anon’s surprise.
Warming up to me already, huh Princess?
“As do I, and also, please, call me Anon.”
“As you wish, Anon. Farewell.”
With that, she turned around and spread her wings. She cast the human one final glance, and thrust her wings down and back up, repeating the motion until she began to levitate off the ground. She flew further away from Anon, until she faded out of view; he assumed that was her leaving the dream.
“Well, I guess I'll shoot around till I get bored. I’m so gay.”
Anon laughed at his own comment as he shot the ball at the goal. And sure enough, he continued to do so until he got bored.
—————————————————————————————————————
Small rays of sunshine peeked through the blinds on the windows of Fluttershy’s bedroom, dimly lighting the surrounding area. It hadn’t been long since the sun had risen, but Anon’s body called for him to wake up. He slowly opened his eyes; they felt sore and weak in the light, but he got used to it.
He rolled over on his back and stared at the ceiling for a few moments. He thought to himself for a moment.
Wow, I really met Princess Luna last night, she was hot as fuck. Like Fluttershy was cute in her own way, but Luna was sexy, goddamn
He thought more about his dream for a minute. He soon decided enough was enough, and he prepared his body and his mind to get out of bed.
Might as well get this day started
Before he got up however, he was curious about Fluttershy. Was she still in bed with him? Had she left? If she was still there, was she asleep or awake? He had made sure to be quiet just in case she was still asleep. To answer these questions, he shifted his weight and turned over to her side of the bed.
The half of the bed that he was facing was empty, leaving nothing but the occasional pink strand of hair stuck to the bed. Anon sighed heavily in disappointment. He wanted to see her sleeping. Not because he was a creep, he thought that maybe she would look cute and peaceful when she slept.
Maybe next time, I’ll sleep here more than a few times in sure
He let out a muffled chuckle as he sat up and let his feet touch the ground off the side of the bed. He threw his upper body back and groaned aloud as he stretched his tense muscles.
As he resumed his normal body position, he bought his arms before his face and studied them briefly. His biceps were very toned and of fair muscle mass. The only thing that bothered him about his arms, or his body in general, is that it was free of ink. He had wanted to get tattooed, but he never had gotten the chance to.
Maybe there’s a tattoo shop in Ponyville, eh who knows, they don’t need tats, they have cutie marks!
He brushed that thought aside as it was irrelevant, and proceeded to stand up and make his way over to his shirt and hoodie, which were neatly laid on a chair, folded and all. He remembered tossing them on the floor the night before, not setting the, both out all neat.
She’s so kind
Anon thought to himself about the pegasus mare. She did all this for a strange creature she hasn’t known for even a day.
Surely she was the element of kindness.
He grabbed the shirt and slipped it on, and did the same with the hoodie. He also put on his socks and shoes. He looked down at his shoes as he finished tying them. They were your standard pair of black Vans. Nothing special about them, but they were his. And he had taken them everywhere. 16 states, 4 countries, countless bedrooms, and now, a new fucking universe.
Off the Wall for real
Jesus I’m a sellout
He was just getting ready to pick up his backpack when he smelled it. The delicious aroma filled the air of the bedroom and made this mouth nearly drip. He hadn’t realized how hungry he was, but now, it was the center of his attention. Anon quickly grabbed the bag, slung it over his back, and ran over to the stairs. He stopped himself before he began his way down.
Let me not run downstairs and make a scene
After that adult moment of his, Anon began walking calmly downstairs, preparing himself for what might happen next.
Once he reached the bottom floor, he was met by the gazes of two figures. A familiar yellow pegasus, who gave him a warm smile, and a purple unicorn, who donned the most wide-eyed look he had ever seen.
“Good morning Anon! Glad you’re awake, I was just finishing up breakfast.”
“Morning, Flutters, and yeah, that good ass smell was probably why I’m out of bed so early.”
The yellow mare gave a slight blush as she smiled.
“Oh, well, thank you, I've never been much of a cook.”
“Well it sure smells great, so I’m betting it’ll taste better!”
“Oh my, thank you Anon.”
She gave the human another cute smile before her expression changed, like she had remembered something.
“Oh, I forgot, Anon, this is my friend Twilight, she’s here to ask you some questions. She wanted to wake you up earlier, but I insisted that you’d be better off waking yourself up.”
“Good call, I’m not a morning person.”
Anon looked over at the unicorn, who was still studying him eagerly. She met his gaze and snapped out of her trance.
“Hello Anon, I am Princess Twilight Sparkle, and I want personally welcome you to Equestria.”
“Thank you Princess, the pleasure is all mine.”
He gave a little bow, either out of respect, or sarcasm, or both. Probably both. Either way, Twilight seemed to enjoy, snickering a bit at the gesture.
“If you don't mind, I’d like to ask you some questions, about you, your world, and whatever else is worth talking about. This won’t take very long.”
“No problem, Twilight. I don't have any plans.”
—————————————————————————————————————
That bitch is a damn lie
As it turns out, Twilight’s sessions of 20 Questions took longer than she said it would. By a few hours. In the time the purple mare had taken to interview Anon, he had eaten both breakfast and lunch.
Who knew salad could be so damn good
“Well Anon, I think that’s all for today. Thank you for your time!”
The unicorn smiled widely in appreciation. Anon gave one in return, then looked out the window. The sun still shown bright, but in a matter of hours the landscape would be dark again. He had just wasted half a day answering little questions from a princess.
Eh who cares, I expected this, nothing hurt
“Of course, Twilight, anytime.”
He said the last word with obvious sarcasm, which somehow seemed to glide over a beaming Twilight. The comment instead earned a laugh from Fluttershy, who had been observing the conversation whilst doing various chores around her cottage.
“Well, if you don’t mind Anon, I think I should introduce you to the rest of my friends.”
“Sure, I got time to kill. But one thing first.”
“Yes?”
“Can we head back to the Everfree and pick up my Jeep?”
Anon had told Twilight about how cars worked and that he had crashed a Jeep into the forest and got it stuck in mud.
“Of course, it’s just I’m not sure where it is, and you told me you didn’t remember the way, so we’d need a guide.”
Both Anon and Twilight turned to face Fluttershy in the same moment. She looked back and forth at both of them with a fearful look.
“Oh no, I am not going back there.” She muttered.
“Come on Flutters, this would really help me! All my shit is in there!”
“Please Fluttershy, Anon and I need your help. You’re the only pony who remembers the way there!”
“Well, I do remember it, but I don’t really wanna…”
“I'll show you a picture of my dog.”
“When do we leave?”
Anon had mentioned to Twilight during the interview that he owned a small white mug named Casper. The way he described him made Fluttershy really want to see him. He happened to have a framed picture of his dog back in the Jeep.
“Right now!” Twilight’s horn lit up as she yelled with excitement and opened the front door.
The two ponies made their way outside, with Anon right behind them. The unicorn shut the door and they faced the Everfree forest.
“We’ll start this way.”
Fluttershy pointed in the direction in which her and Anon had came from last night. The trio made their way into the forest, searching for Anon’s Jeep. Anon followed the two closely, but was in his own world of thought.
I still can't believe this is real man, my life is good
I think I still have some condoms in the back, eh, I’ll check when we’re there
Might need them for, an emergency
Or two.
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. “HUUUUUUUUUUUUUOOOHH MY GOD”
Anon awoke, taking a deep breath and yelling out in agony, at the same time.
Fuck, my head is killing me
His head was a throbbing from the impact, and was swelling severely. Blood dripped from an open cut on his temple and onto the steering wheel and floor. He didn’t bother to take a look around at his situation, as his current state of pain was the only thing he could focus on.
What little light he had from the moon soon faded away as Anon fell out of consciousness once again.
He awoke minutes a later, still reeling from his injuries. Besides this, he regained his sense of judgement and took action.
He unbuckled his seat belt and lifted his head from the dashboard. Reaching for the glove compartment, he pulled and latch, revealing its contents. He grabbed a small first aid kit and placed it in his lap. He then opened the mirror above his head and turned on a light in his car.
After ruffling through the first aid kit for a moment, he found a roll of gauze. He began to unroll it, and measured enough of it out to wrap around his head a few times. In one hand he held the unrolled gauze, in the other, an alcohol cleansing wipe.
Gotta clean this shit first
He raised the wipe to his temple and began to slowly clean off the slightly dried blood that had formed around the open wound.
“FUUUUUUUUUHHHHCK”
Anon yelled at the top of his lungs as the wipe brought pure agony to his gash. The burning sensation was too much to keep him silent.
“GODDAMMNIT”
After one more swipe over the now disinfected cut, he tossed the crimson wipe away. He took hold of the bandage and started wrapping it around his head, slowly and with care. He did not want to hurt himself further. That cut wasn’t bad, but it bled like it was.
Finishing up the fourth lap around his head with the gauze, he used one hand to apply pressure to the wrap, keeping it in place, whilst his other hand find the medical tape in his kit. He located the tape, ripped a piece off, and secured the gauze in place.
Better call the meds, if that bandage bleeds through I’m kind of screwed, I don’t have anymore gauze.
He reached over to the ashtray, where his phone was sitting, and grabbed it.
9-1-1
He typed the numbers into the device. He’d never called the emergency line for any reason. Sure, he’d seen his friends prank call the number before, but he’d never had any excuse to call the paramedics.
He pressed the call button and brought the phone to his ear. Almost immediately he heard a steady beeping tone. He knew the sound. It signaled that the line was dead.
“What the fuck?”
He looked to the top left of the screen and read the text.
NO SERVICE
“Oh, give me a fucking break!”
Anon was nearly livid. First he crashed his Jeep, had to deal with head trauma, and now this? He wanted to blow up, but he keep his cool, reassuring himself.
“It’s ok, it’s ok. Not the end of the world. Just need to get back to the road and find help.”
He reached over to the handle and pulled, letting the door swing outwards. He stepped out of the vehicle and looked around.
“Did I actually get this deep into the woods? How?”
Sure enough, there was no road in sight. Nor a slope, for that would indicate a street or civilization. The look of anger appeared on Anon’s face, a look which soon turned into fear.
“Which way do I go?”
Panic set in and in desperation he jumped back into his Wrangler. He quickly started the engine and pressed on the gas, hard. To his surprise, the car didn’t move an inch. This only made him panic more. He then floored it, again to no effect. All he heard was the sound of the cylinders rotating as fast as possible, and the subtitle splash of mud behind the Jeep.
Mud? Oh shit
The relaxed his press on the gas and shut off the car. And once again stepped outside and walked to the back of the vehicle. And there he saw what he had feared. His rear wheels were submerged in about six inches of thick, brown mud.
“Well this is great! Guess I’ll just walk around till I find someone!”
He said this with sarcasm, interesting, considering he was talking to himself. He returned to the driver side door and leaned into, grabbing his backpack and his phone. He slid his phone into his pocket and shut the door to the Jeep.
What direction first?
He didn’t remember much about the crash, other than the split second in which he saw the ditch and the edge of the forest. But something was off.
First, he remembered that the woods before the crash were thin, and all the trees had no leaves, with the except of a rare pine tree. The forest here was full of pine trees. Not a bare tree in sight.
Second, before the crash, it was below freezing out. He could see his breath when he exhaled. Now, the weather was more comfortable, not exactly optimal, but a good 20 degrees fahrenheit warmer. And, seeing that it had been a good deal of time since the crash, it should’ve at least gotten colder, not warmer.
Could I be, somewhere else?
The intriguing thought entered his mind.
No fucking way, that’s some movie type shit. Getting in a crash and teleporting? Yeah right. Sounds like a shitty fan fiction introduction.
He was deep in his thoughts when a nearby noise caught his attention.
Snap!
Sounded like a twig breaking. Shit, I think someone’s here.
He ran to a nearly bush and hid behind it, peeking out carefully to try and see what made that sound.
Maybe I’m going crazy from all this, maybe it’s all a dream
He was interrupted when he heard a light whimper. A familiar whimper.
—————————————————————————————————————
Fluttershy had been walking for a few minutes now, and she was sure she was heading in the right direction.
“Oh Twilight, I wish you were with me right now, you’re so brave and I’m so, me.”
She let out a fearful sigh as she continued her way through the forest. She had walked through the Everfree Forest multiple times before, but she’d only done it once at night and without any of her friends. She had been looking the Cutie Mark Crusaders after they had left on a wild chicken chase.
Oh girls, I’d rather be searching for you right now than looking for, Celestia knows what!
“No Fluttershy, you’re doing this for Twilight, she needs you, and you’re her friend. This is the right thing to do!”
With that statement, she had a newfound confidence and started to walk with more purpose. The look of fear that had previously been on her face now became a confident smile.
“I have nothing to be afraid of!”
FUUuuuckkk
Fluttershy’s ears perked up at the sound.
Is that somepony, yelling?
She did not recognize the word, but it sounded a bit like “buck.” The pegasus wasn’t one for language, but that voice sounded like there was some pain behind it. She adjusted her course a bit, and continued walking toward where she had heard the voice come from.
GOOODDDammniiiit
There it was again.
The voice had gotten a bit closer, but she could tell she still had some ground to cover. She began to pick up the pace, as to not make the agonized voice wait too long.
Whoever it is sounds like they need help
The kindness in her heart couldn’t ignore cries like that.
As she grew closer to the source of the voice, she heard another sound.
VRRRRRRRROOOMMMMMMM
What in Equestria could that be?
Fluttershy was sure that the sound hadn’t come from any animal. The closest thing that she could relate it to was the sound of Flim and Flam’s Apple Cider Machine. But even the light hum of the The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 didn’t compare to the roar of, whatever that was.
After a few moments of walking, she came to a small clearing in forest. She saw nothing but part of some large metal thing. She didn’t recognize what it was, maybe because it was dark and she could only see half of it. She slowly advanced towards it, maybe this could be what made that last sound?
Snap !
The sound surprised her, but she looked down to see that it was her hoof that she stepped on a tree branch and broken it.
Oh my, I didn’t see that there
She then heard a quick series of steps and the light sound of a bush rusting. Something, or somepony, had ran into a bush. And that bush was mere yards away.
“Eeeep”
The sound escaped mouth as she suddenly became scared once again. But, she remember the voice from earlier. It needed her help. So Fluttershy gathered her voice, and spoke with a soft, yet searching tone.
“Is somepony there?”
—————————————————————————————————————-
“Is somepony there?”
A voice suddenly made itself known in the darkness. But, this wasn’t something that Anon hadn’t heard before. Just like the whimper, he recognized it.
Wait. What the fuck? Somepony? That sounds just like…
“I heard you yelling earlier, so I thought maybe you needed help.”
The whimper created his suspicion, “Is somepony there?” fueled it, and that last sentence confirmed it.
Holy shit, that’s fucking Fluttershy.
It all made sense now. Sort of. The change of forest, the different weather, and a voice that sounded just like Fluttershy? This was too good to be true. He needed to see whoever said those things, only then would he have confirmation.
But what do I say? Hey, Hi, how are you? Will she be afraid? Actually yeah she probably will, its Fluttershy. But how do I approach her?
With his mind racing, he had to give her an answer.
“Uh, yeah, hi, uh, I did need help.”
Nice one Anon, way to get those words out of your throat
“Oh, you, did?”
“Yeah, I hit my head earlier, but I got that covered.”
Literally.
“Oh, well, that’s good! I’m glad you’re alright. But if you don’t mind, do you think you can, uh, maybe come out from there?”
Oh shit, here comes the scary part. I hope she doesn’t freak out when she says a two-legged human just stand up and walk out of the bushes. Well, here goes nothing.
“Uh, sure thing, just promise me you won’t be scared.”
“Oh, uh, ok.”
Anon used his arms to boost himself from his lying position and proceeded to stand on two legs, then walking into the clearing. He then laid eyes upon what he had been hoping was there the entire time.
Oh. My. God.
Standing before the teenager was a pegasus mare. She had a yellow coat and a pink mane, and she couldn’t have been taller than four feet. And sure enough, she had a cutie mark on her flank. Three butterflies. Just like the show.
I thought she was cute on the show, but damn.
She didn’t look cartoon, instead she looked real, but it wasn’t weird in any way, shape or fashion. It looked natural, like some of those drawings of ponies you’d see on Deviantart.
Except she was real.
Trying not to be rude, he didn’t stare too long. He didn’t want to scare her off. Plus she was a sentient being, not some animal. He was to respect her like the lady, em, pony she was.
Ok Anon, play it cool. You have no idea ponies exist, so you will react as such. Not too hard right?
A gasp escaped both of their mouths as they studied each other. They had never seen each other’s species in real life, and humans were completely new to ponies. Anon tried to keep his smile contained, as he was extremely joyful to be standing before a real life pony.
“You’re a-a pony. And you can talk.”
“Yes, I’m a pony, and I can talk, is that weird to you?”
“Well where I can come from, ponies are just-“
I really hate to say this.
-farm animals.”
You hear another gasp leave her mouth as she tries to process this new information.
“Oh my, and I assume ponies where you’re from can’t talk?”
Anon nods his head lightly.
“Well, if you don’t mind me asking, uh, sir, uh, what exactly, are you?”
She’s so cute when she stutters
“I am a human being. Homo sapien. That’s the scientific name of our species.”
“Oh wow, I don't think I’ve ever heard of a, Hu Man.”
“Human.”
“Oh, uh, human. Yeah, that.”
“I know we both have a lot of questions for each other, and I’m sure we can get to that. But I don't think it would be proper of me to continue without asking your name, madam.”
“Oh well, my name’s, uh, Fluttershy.”
She spoke with a even softer tone than usual, but just loud enough for Anon to hear.
“A pleasure to meet you Fluttershy. My name is Anonymous, but you can call me Anon.”
“Oh, uh, hi Anon. It’s nice to meet you too!”
She smiles softly as part of her mane falls over one side of her face. Anon can tell she’s getting a bit more comfortable talking to him. She didn’t seem as nervous as before.
Wow, that’s a cute face
“Well Fluttershy, I know we just met and all but, do you know of a place where I can stay the night?”
Anon said this knowing good and well that being the element of kindness, she would offer her cottage for him to spend the night at.
“Oh well, there’s no Inns nearby, but I don't live far from here at all, and if you’d like, you can stay the night at my cottage.”
Bingo
“Oh Fluttershy, I couldn’t ask that of you! We’ve only just met and-“
“No worries, Mr. Anon, I insist. Plus, you need to get that wound of yours rewrapped.”
The mare was right. The gauze around Anon’s head was starting to become soaked with blood, and needed a change of bandage pretty soon.
She's not wrong there
He reached up to his head and felt the gauze. Sure enough, it was damp and crimson colored from his still open cut. He wasn’t going to last long without a fresh bandage. But what other choice did he have? And why would he want to refuse such an offer? He didn’t want to.
“Well Fluttershy, if you insist. I am in your debt.”
The winged pony smiled and nodded at him.
“Well, my cottage is this way, if you’ll follow me.”
“Of course. And uh, Fluttershy?”
“Yes?”
“Drop the “Mr.” Just call me Anon.”
He winked at the pegasus and gave her a little grin.
The shy mare blushed lightly in his direction and then turned to face forward.
“Sure thing, Anon.”
Hearing this, he walked faster and soon was side by side with the pony.
“So uh, you’re not from her, huh?”
“That’s right.”
“How did you get here, exactly?”
“Long story, let me tell you.”
Anon began telling Fluttershy what had happened that evening, and how he ended up in Equestria. To the best of his understanding.
This is a dream come true. Holy shit.
He was still freaking out on the inside over where he was. He didn’t know what would happen in the days to come, but he did know one thing.
This shit is gonna be interesting.
