The Friendship Between Pony and Man

Since the road that I was walking on hadn’t been used for about fifteen years or so, I decided to not hide S’mores underneath my coat but I did remove the scarf I was wearing to let her wrap around her body to keep her warm until we get to my place. “Here sweetie, this should keep you warm for now.” I wrap my scarf around her trying to be as careful as possible to not hurt her since she had bruises.

“Ah that feels nice.” S’mores said to me.

“Hey when we get to my house you’ll feel much better because it's going to be much warmer inside.” I told her. I looked around my surroundings to make sure that no car use driving up behind us or anywhere near us even though this road is abandoned, I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t seen with this filly in my arms and I get to much attention due to some snitch telling the authorities about the pony. The trees around us with no leaves were covered in snow and ice, the puddles of water from earlier today were completely frozen solid, and the wind made it even more frigid out here.

I looked up in the sky to see that it was getting more dark out so we needed to get inside quickly because it was supposed to be ten degrees below zero tonight. I took my phone out of my pocket to check the time and the temperature. The time was now five fifty six in the evening and it was two degrees right now so it was freezing cold but I'm still surprised that even though that S’mores still has her summer coat she isn’t freezing that much but she is still cold right now. I put my phone back im my pocket to pay attention to the road and where I’m walking. I also notice that S’mores is passed out asleep and I can’t help but smile at how cute she looked while she was asleep in my arms. I still feel terrible about the condition she’s in but I need to know how she got this way to help her recover.

I then noticed that it was starting to snow but it was coming down hard so my best bet is that it was going to be a blizzard tonight but I sure as hell hope that wasn't the case. I looked off in the distance about fifty yards away, I could see my front porch light was on so I started to move I bit faster. As I got closer to my house the snow came down harder like I was in Fargo but I was in northeast missouri and not Minnesota.

When I got onto the porch, I took my keys out of my coat pocket to unlock the door. After unlocking the door, I opened it then walked inside to feel a blast of warm air hit me in the face like a freight train. I then shut the front door, took my coat and over clothes and boots off then sit S’mores down on the chair who was still sound asleep. After I hung up my coat and over clothing then sitting my boots by the door, I went over to S’mores to wake her up. “Hey sweetie were here now.” I said to her as she looked up at me. S’mores looked around the living room for a moment.

“Nice place ya got here.” S’mores said to me. “And you weren’t kidding when you said it was going to be warm in here.” I took noticed at her coat and she had dirt in it and I took a wild guess that there may be cuts on her skin but I started to smell a strong scent of urine coming off of her. S’mores also took notice at the urine smell coming off of her.

“Hey Quinn, can I take a bath please?” she said to me. “I'm starting to smell just awful.”

“Sure I was going to tell you to take one anyways but sure, follow me to the bathroom.” She shakes her rump as she hopped off the chair to follow me to the bathroom. As she followed me, she looked around the hallway to see some of the pictures hanging on the walls and looking into some of the rooms. As we enter the bathroom, the fragrant smell of a plug in air freshener that was in the bathroom. “Ok let's get you into the tub sweetie.” S’mores looks up at me.

“Uh Quinn… I have to go potty first but I can’t do it by myself so I need you to help me.” She says to me.

“Why… is there something wrong?” I asked.

“Yeah because I have a problem going potty and sometimes when I go it hurt and most of the time it's hard to go”. S’mores tells me. I start to feel more terrible for S’mores because not only that she has bruises and a swollen eye but she just informed about her having a urinary tract problem.

“Ok let me help you up on the toilet so you can do your business sweetie.” I put her on the toilet then see starts to go potty so I stand in the doorway looking out in the hallway to let her do her business in peace. I take my phone out of my pocket to check the local news. I tap on an article about a recent death involving a local man in his mid thirties that died of hypothermia while walking around town in the blistering cold weather. I read the report.

“Local thirty six year old Kirksville resident John Doe has passed away recently after secomming to hypothermia last night. Paramedics responded to a call of a man slowly walking down the street in freezing cold weather at around nine thirty last night and the man was only in his underwear when Paramedics arrived to then find him laying down in the snow dead.” After reading that article, I put my phone back in my pocket then go to check on S’mores. As I turn to look see if she’s done. “Hey sweetie you finished going potty yet?” I asked S’mores.

“Yeah, I just need to wipe now.” I look to see that there is no toilet paper.

“Hang on, I have to fetch some more toilet paper.” I told her then went to the closet in the hallway to get another roll of TP. As I pull a roll from the plastic packaging, a picture of me and my ex falls to the ground. I pick up the picture and stuff it into my back pocket. I then shut the closet door and head back to the bathroom. “Hey sweetie I have another roll of toilet paper.” I said to S’mores. “You need an help wiping?” S’mores blushes a little.

“Not really I can do it myself.” She says to me.

“Ok.” I responded. I tear a few pieces from the roll and hand them to S’mores so she could wipe. She takes the strips of toilet paper and starts to wipe. I turn to let her wipe without my looking to make her feel more comfortable. I look at myself in the mirror for a moment.

“Hey Quinn im done wiping now.” S’mores says to me.

“Ok now let's get you in the tub to clean you up.” I said to her. As I picked up S’mores, I made damn sure I was careful to not hurt her because of her bruises. I then sit her down in the tub. I reach over to turn the water on. S’mores layed down on her back and moved around on her back to let the water get all over all coat. I have to say it was pretty freaking adorable to say the very least. She then sit back up and grab a hold of a washcloth and put it over my face.

“Looks like some pony’s a master at hide and seek.” S’mores said to me. I couldn’t help but giggle at how cute she was being even though the condition she was in but I needed to know the truth to why see had a swollen eye and had bruises on her. As the water reached up to her cutie mark, she starts to shiver.

“Oh sorry sweetie, forgot to make it warm.” I reach over to make to water warmer so she isn’t cold. She then stopped shivering then gave me the wash cloth. I reached over to get some of the body/hair wash that my Ex forgot to grab before leaving me sometime ago. “Guess she won’t be needing this now.” I thought to myself. I put a bit of the soap on the the washcloth then I sit the bottle down on the floor next to me. I started to rub the washcloth around S’mores neck and shoulder first before washing the rest of her body. As I scrubbed her neck, she started to enjoy me scrubbing her neck.

While scrubbing her neck, I felt a little hard spot on her I felt it with my fingers and concluded that it was a scab. It came off while a scrubbed her neck so I guess it was old. I then started to scrub her shoulders and I noticed quite a bit of dirt on her coat. I wanted to make sure that I got all the dirt and grime out of her coat to make sure she was clean. I scrubbed some more on her other shoulder and she licked the top of my hand. I smiled because ever since I found here even though it was not ever one hour ago, she made my miserable day feel a whole lot better.

“Oh that feels nice Quinn.” S’mores said to me. I then started to scrub her ears but when I tried, they kept moving away so I didn’t bother with her ears. When I went to scrub the rest of her body, S’mores puts her fore hooves on my hand. “Hey Quinn can I finish up by myself?” She asked my. “Because my sensitive spots are hurting right now so I feel more comfortable if I scrub around them myself.”

“Ok sweetie, I’ll let you finish up and when you get down, here's a towel to dry yourself with.” I told her. I picked up the bottle of bottle/hair wash so she can use more of it in case the washcloth loses the soap.

“Okay, I’ll come find you when i'm finished up here.” S’mores says to me before I shut the bathroom door and head back into the living room. I sit down on the couch and took my phone out to call my friend but soon discovered that the number I had of his was old and was no longer in service. “Well I guess I’ll have to wait for him to call me or when I see him out in public to tell him about S’mores.” I said to myself.

While waiting for S’mores to get done bathing, I decided to kill time by watching some TV. I turned on the TV and put on the weather channel since how bad it was outside. Speaking of which, I decided to check out the window to see what it was like out there now. I peered out the blinds and was shocked to see that it had snowing really hard and it was foggy as well.

“Jesus Christ I hope it doesn’t get get to deep overnight because I need to inform my friend about S’mores. I walked back to the couch then sit down. While watching the weather channel, they were talking about a small winter storm that had moved into the Midwest. I then heard the bathroom door open to see that S’mores has finished up her bath after she wanted me to let her finish scrubbing the rest of her body by herself since her sensitive spots were hurting. She walked over into the room then hopped up onto the couch and laid down next to me. She then wrapped her fore legs around my right arm then began to lick it.

I decided not to be rude and asked her to stop since I practically saved her life by taking her into my home before it got to cold out so my guess was that this was her way of saying thank you. S’mores then started to rub her cheek on my arm and I have to say her fur felt pretty darn soft, like a piece of soft fabric but five times as soft. I then start to stroke her mane and it felt just as soft as her fur but more silky. S’mores then looks up at me.

“Hey Quinn about why I have a swollen eye and why I have these bruises.” She said to me.

“Yeah, did something besides what the lie that you told me earlier cause these bruises and your swollen eye.” I replied to her.

“Well the truth about why my eye is swollen and I have bruises on my belly and sides.” S’mores begins to tear up.

“Hey now little one it’s okay.” I wipe the tears from her eyes while being careful with her swollen eye. “Hey, whatever happened to you sweetie, I’m sure it wasn’t that bad.” S’mores then crys some more. “Hey great job Quinn, you made her feel worse, give yourself a big fat punch in the mouth.” I thought to myself. “Hey sweetie, if it was really that bad, not telling anyone or anypony is going to make you feel worse over time so I suggest you tell me about it please.” I tell S’mores in a calm soothing voice. She wipes the tears off her face with her hoof.

“Okay, I’ll tell you just as long as you promise me that you will tell not a single other human about me or what happened to me.” S’mores tells me.

“Okay I promise that I won't tell anybody about you.” S’mores then grips my cheeks.

“Promise harder!”

“Okay I promise that I will not tell a single living soul about your and about what your about to tell me.” I said to promise much harder.

“Okay, about why my eye is swollen and why I have these bruises on my body.” Before she continues, she starts to tear up once more.

“Come on sweetie, don't let your sadness get to you, fight it off so you can tell me what happened.” I tell S’mores in a way a motivational speaker would but more calmly.

“Okay, I’ll try my best to let out the story about what happened to me but I know for fact I’m going to cry because….. well it involves me, my daddy, and my mommy.” I put my hand on her cheek.

“Go on, you need to let it out because it’s only going to hurt you more if you never tell me.” I tell her.

“Okay, about some time ago before I came to whatever this world is, I was home asleep in bed when my father got home very drunk like he usually does every night but that night he seemed to be more aggressive than ever and I feared that he would do something terrible to me and the feeling was much worse since mommy was out of the house. I woke up to him screaming about something so I hid in my closet. He then bucked down my bedroom door looking for me. I kept as quiet as possible so that he wouldn’t find me. He then left the room to look for me somewhere else so I got out of the closet and started galloping towards the front door to find my mommy, but before I could my daddy hit my in the face then started beating me.

After he got done beating me, he started to rape me and it hurt really bad. When my mom got home, she saw what daddy was doing to me so she hit him and took me, and we ran off to get away from him. Sadly he caught up to us and started beating my mommy. That's when I saw her horn light up and the next thing I remember is that I was laying down in some snow surrounded by trees and it was cold so I got up to find out where I was and that's where I found you.”

While she told me about why she had a swollen eye and bruises, she was tearing up badly and crying so I had to comfort her. I picked her up and sat her in my lap then started hugging her to comfort her. S’mores looked up at me.

“Hey Quinn, I’m getting hungry, do you have anything that I can eat?” S’mores asked me.

“Sure, I always keep food in here but I’ll have to find something that ponies are able to eat.” I responded. “Come on sweetie, let's go find something for you to eat since it’s probably been awhile since you last ate anything.” As I stand up off of the couch, I reach down to pick up S’mores. I look at her face for a moment and notice that her eye is healing pretty fast and so is her bruises. I was surprised by how fast her injuries were healing so I took a wild guess that ponies had better healing abilities than humans. “So S’mores what are you hungry for?” I asked while walking towards the kitchen while carrying S’mores in my arms. As I head into the kitchen, S’mores eyes a small fruit basket with apples in it.

“Hey can I have a couple apples?” S’mores asked me.

“Sure, you can have a couple of them.” I sit S’mores down on the floor so I could get her two apples from the fruit basket. After getting the apples, I pick up S’mores then walk back to the living room. I sat S’mores back down onto the couch then hand her the two apples.

“Here you go sweetie, this should fill you up for the night but incase your still hungry after eating the apples, let me know so I can get you more.” I told S’mores. As I turned to reach for the radio on the coffee table, I notice a full water bottle on the table that I forgot to drink this morning, so I decided to give it to S’mores in case she might be thirsty. “Hey S’mores are you thirsty sweetie?” I asked her.

“Actually yeah, I am a bit parched.” She responded.

“Okay, here's some water that I forgot to drink this morning. Also don't worry about it not being good, when its in this bottle, no bugs or anything bad can get in it.” Before handing S’mores the water bottle, I unscrewed the cap for her. She then takes the water bottle.

“Thanks Quinn.” S’mores than starts drinking the water even though it is probably warm since it was on the coffee table all day. She drinks the water fairly quickly so she must be really thirsty and she did eat up her two apples quickly as well. I stared at her for a moment while she cleaned the mess off her hooves and her snout and I thought that she was the cutest thing that could ever exist. She did seem to notice me staring at her but said nothing. I looked up at the clock that was hanging up on the wall to see that it was seven twenty six at night. I was beginning to fell a bit tired and I noticed that S’mores was getting sleepy as well.

“Hey Quinn I’m getting sleepy, can we go to bed please?” S’mores asked me.

“Yeah lets get some sleep because I’m getting tired as well and good things I don't have to work for the weekend because I’m off for this weekend so we can spend more time together sweetie.” I tell S’mores. As I get up off the couch, S’mores shakes her rump a bit then hopes off the couch. She then trots into the hallway waiting for me so she knows which room is mine.

“Hey Quinn which room is yours?” S’mores asked me. I then open my bedroom door.

“Its this one sweetie.” I tell here. As we head into my rooms, S’mores tries to hop up on my bed but is unable to. “Oh here let me help you with that.” I push S’mores up onto my bed.

“Thanks.” She tells me then walks to my pillows. She then lays on top of one of my pillows than grips it tightly. Before I go to lay down, I take the things that are in my pockets and sit them on the dresser top next to the TV in my room. I take my cell phone and set the alarm for six thirty in the morning to wake me up early. S’mores takes interest in my phone and ask me about it.

“Hey Quinn, what is that gadget called and why do you carry it with you all the time?”

“I’ll tell you about it and the other things in my house tomorrow but for now, I'm tired so lets get some shut eye.” I tell S’mores.

“Ok just asking since we ponies have never seen such gadgets before put some of the things you have in your house, we have back in Equestria.” She says.

“Yeah I know that already BUT before you ask how I know, I’ll explain that tomorrow as well.”

“Ok, well let's go to sleep now Quinn.” As I lay down to go to bed, I lay down on my side and S’mores cuddles up next to me then nuzzles my neck so I give her a nuzzle back. Well, I guess since I have my own breathing and living pony from Equestria, I need to make sure that no other people find out about her otherwise this situation will spiral outta control. S’mores starts to lick neck which makes me feel just great so I put my arm around her and cuddle with her. I then roll over on my back and S’mores cuddles up onto my side and puts her head against my chest so I stroke her mane for one last moment before I close my eyes and drift off into sleep.
