Howl at the Moon
Arrival at My Office
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Now arriving at Ponyville station. If this is your stop, do please be careful, and watch your step as you reach for your overhead luggage, as we don't want anyponies tale to be stepped on while disembarking the train. Thank you for riding the Pony Express, and we hope you ride again soon."
The overhead speakers on the train jarred me from my reading, as the name Ponyville was the name of the town I was supposedly supposed to settle in. Dammit, I was getting to a good part too. I sighed heavily and put my book back in the dimensional pocket for safe keeping, as I had just read how to access it at will.
Accessing the dimensional pocket was done almost similar to Erza's method of doing it in the anime, albeit with less drama and flare than hers, which I was grateful for. I didn't want to call attention to myself just yet. I looked over to the six girls to see what they were doing and saw them getting luggage from the overhead.
"Honestly Rarity, did ya have to bring yer whole wardrobe to the Games. I mean, look at all the bags ya have." says Applejack.
It was indeed an impressive pile of suitcases that the white unicorn had. It was stacked almost to the ceiling of the car, and looked like it could tip at any moment, which could not have been good for it.
" Why of course darling. I wouldn't want to be unprepared for a ball or gala that might have happened because of the games. And what if we had been invited up to the royal box by Twilight. I don't want to look anything BUT my best for before Princess Celestia." Rarity retorted to the orange mare before giving a huff and unpacking more luggage.
Suddenly, the door between cars opened, and in came a small, childlike lizard that I almost took to be an Argonian from Skyrim, before realizing he didn't look near as imposing. He stood roughly close to the girl's midriff, with scales that covered his entire body, and where almost white on his stomach, with a nice, rich purple covering the rest of him. He had spikes going down his back that looked like they were not actually safe, in a leaf green color that made the little lizard-child look complete.
" Hey girl's, need any help?" the newcomer to the car asked the six friends.
" Why yes Spike, could you be a dear and pull the cart for us." Rarity told him. After she said this, you almost where certain you saw hearts coming out of the little child.
" O-of course I can, Rarity." He is practically floating off the ground with how much adoration he has for the unicorn.
I decide to help the little guy, and calmly make my way over to the small group. "I didn't mean to over hear you, but you needed someone to pull the cart? I can do it if that's ok with you girls." I say politely, waiting to see how they react to me.
"Really. Oh, thank you. I just was starting to worry how Spike was going to be able to get that out of the car." Fluttershy calmly says, walking over to see who you are and thank you.
"Really Fluttershy, you doubt that I can pull that cart. I am a dragon you know. We are a lot stronger than we look." He says, proceeding to flex his little arms to show what muscle he has. At this I have to stop myself from looking at the little dragon and bowing, cause in the comic, dragons were royalty. I didn't bow because, in this world, I don't think royalty would be made to pull any cart off such magnitude. That and the fact that the girls spoke so casually with him.
"Oh no Spike, it's not that, I just don't think Twilight would want her assistant getting hurt pulling the cart." Fluttershy said to the small dragon in a consoling manner. "I'm sorry, where are my manners. My name is Fluttershy, as you heard from Spike beside you." I smile politely, and reach out to shake her hand. " My name is Ca-."
And then I am suddenly tackled out of the car by a large, soft, and surprisingly light pink mare who gets right in my face and says, " Your names Cameron Ruff and your from another dimension that is inhabited by animals called humans and you are one to and you got magically zapped here by Queen Faust and now you have to go and talk to Twilight because you need a place to stay until you get a house in town."
I'm speechless.
How.
How did she just guess EXACTLY, what happened to me. "How...did...you?" I cant help but fumble out of my useless brain to my mouth to say.
"Just a hunch! HEY, TWILIGHT!! THIS LADY NEEDS TO TALK TO YOU FOR A SECOND!!" She says with a scream to Twilight, before turning back and saying, "Hey, by the way, thanks for appreciating my figure Cameron!!" I stare at her and say "But, I didn't say a thing about your figure, though I do like it. A lot, actually. I'm sorry what is your name again, I didn't catch it."
"Pinkie Pie, and I was talking about the author silly, not you, though thank you as well. OH, WAIT. THAT REMINDS ME!!! I NEED TO PLAN A WELCOME TO PONYVILLE PARTY!!!" she says before running away with an unnatural amount of speed for someone of her shape and figure.
"I'm sorry about that. Hi, i'm Princess Twilight Sparkle. Pinkie said you needed to talk to me." said the lavender mare with horns and wings, Twilight.
"Wait, hold up, your a Princess. Secondly, yes, I need a temporary place to live until I can get a house." I say this with incredulity, as I didn't realize I was in front of royalty, suddenly remembering and saying, "your Highness."
"Ugh, please don't call me that. Twilight is just fine thank you. As for the second thing, yes I can help you with that, but didn't Pinkie say you are from another dimension?" She says, a spark of curiosity just flickering behind her eyes for a second, but it is as noticeable as her distaste for royal formality.
"Um, if I say yes, then what is going to happen?" I can't help but get nervous at that spark, worried for my safety as I am.
Luckily, I am saved by the rest of the girls getting off the train. "All it means is, you have to go through more paperwork, and you have to deal with Twilight's questions. The second thing is worse, so I think you should do that after you get through Pinkies party." says Rainbow Dash.
"That, and a good nights sleep. And a change of clothes wouldn't hurt either. Those clothes you are wearing are atrocious, darling." Rarity says with a wave at said clothing. I look down and don't see anything wrong about my clothing. It's still the same burgundy and black half-sleeve, and a pair of blue denim carpenter pants that are just a little baggy. And, honestly, I hate purses, which is why I have a nice leather wallet with a chain for my pants. Okay, she actually makes a valid point, I did look like a guy.
Thing is, I just like the fact that men's clothes are so much cooler and comfier than anything that I ever got that were women's. It just felt better for me. Though I did by bras and panties, as a girl does have to have some dress code standards.
"Oh. I guess your right. Do you know were I can get some new ones?" I say, looking up at Rarity. She scoffs at the question and says to me "Follow me and we shall change your ensemble immediately." And with that, she grabs my hand and pulls me off down the road.
