Crazy's New Experience

A boy ran from the giant pony in his dream. He is white, has narrow blue eyes, and curly, dirty blonde hair. He ran as fast as he could from a beast which looked harmless to anybody else you would ask. It is, that's what terrified him. All he has ever known is pain and suffering, and when he sees something so innocent and different it is more scary to him than a gun to the head.

That coward right there is me. My name is Chan Linniac. I am also from a family of psychopaths, its debatable whether I am a psychopath or not. You see, I was born with a curse, or at least I think I was. It's branded on the back of my left arm. Most of the time I bandage it over. I never knew what the symbol meant. But the symbol was some sort of curse of bad luck. It gets worse while I sleep, also the curse gets worse every passing day. I once had a friend whose family was assassins, all of them. One day he left me for dead though... I am currently trapped in Equestria, and having a nightmare! I have an extensive knowledge of this place! For example, I know it's name.

That's it...

Ah! Sleep! Once you get past the daily nightmares. Its the best! That is, until you wake up. Unfortunately for me, I woke up. Now I wish I didn't wake up, as I saw the face of a pink pony with a curly mane staring down at me.

I admit it, I screamed like a little girl, and ran like I would not see the light of day again. I stopped so I could catch my breath while leaning against this tree. "What was that! I was SLEEPING! How long was she there, that's just plain creepy. I will never sleep the same again." I stopped my rambling when I saw something pink in the bush next to me. "Wait, before you jump out of those bushes and attack me in a painfully obvious way, why were you watching me sleep?"

"I have not seen a human sleep before! It so exiting! My name is Pinkie Pie! I like parties and cupcakes!" She said bouncing up and down behind me.

"How did you-" I turn back to the bushes and the thing is still there. I looked a little closer and was sprayed with pink confetti. I fell onto my back in surprise. Some confetti got into my mouth, I spit it out even more confused than before.

"OOH! OOH! We are just going to be best friends! I'm going to go throw a party for our new friendship! It's going to be so much fun! Pinkie promise me to go!" Pinkie said quickly all while bouncing up and down. I stopped for a second to perceive what she had just said. You know what, I have some questions of my own,

"Who said we were friends? What the hell is a Pinkie promise?" I thought that I would have some time to breath after my questions but she answered immediately.

"Oh yeah! Wanna be friends! I'll throw lots if parties! It will be so much fun!" Yeah, I was a bit less than eager to start a new friendship in my given situation.

"Umm... Sorry but, I don't need friends right now..." This was when I knew that I had messed up. I could tell that this pony was not going to take no for an answer.

"What if I threw you a Party?"

"I don't like parties." Right at this time, I saw my second mistake. Pinkie gasped audibly.

"But everypony loves parties! Especially mine!" Everypony? What is this strange dialect? I thought at the time. Pinkie Pie stopped being surprised and went back to her overly happy and exited mood. She had a large smile on her face.

"Oh! You must have never been to a party!"

"I've been to parties before, I still don't like them."

"I'm throwing the party anyway! You wanna go!"

"Um, no."

"Yes!"

"No."

"No!"

"I see we have come to an agreement, pleasure doing business with ya'." I said, finally happy it was over.

"Aw. I was sure that was going to work!"

I grinned and started walking back to the literal pile of trash I had for a home. Was that pony an idiot? Or is everybody here just that gullible. If the latter is true, I will take advantage of it once this train wreck of a home falls over and dies. So I can buy, or rent a decent home in this town. Preferably on the outskirts of it. I'm not too keen on the idea of living among a bunch of talking ponies just yet.

A cloud covered the sun for a moment. "Ah, finally. Some shade." I looked up and saw a pair of ruby eyes staring at me from the cloud above. We stared for around three seconds.

I looked down and started walking a little bit faster. You know what, I've seen weirder things. Who knows? Maybe it will ignore me. I looked at the ground and saw the shadows of the cloud. Wait a minute... Why is the cloud so small? I stopped moving for a moment. The cloud was still above me. I moved again, the cloud started moving with me. I sighed, clearly annoyed, and looked at the cloud.

"Yo, could you... Stop following me..." The cloud did not talk back. Of it won't talk back Crazy! IT'S A CLOUD! I walked next to the forest, I had a plan to escape from this strange cloud. At least, I did.

That was when the strangest thing happened! The cloud talked back! "Oh hey! You are the first human I have met since the war! Nice to meet ya!" I stopped in place and did not turn around.

"Oh, please don't tell me the clouds talk in this crazy world as well." I slowly turned around and saw a rainbow maned Pegasus.

"Um, who are you?" I asked, currently confused.

"Rainbow Dash!"

"That's good for you... I'm Crazy. Do clouds normally follow people around these parts?"

"Not normally."

"Can I leave now? I have a shack to build in the outskirts of town. Now if you will excuse me I'm gonna go finish building it." I said cynically as I started walking back once again.

"No wait! Race me!"

"How about I leave and go home quietly..." At this point in time I concealed my presence with a technique called zetsu. Which means to conceal one's aura. This made me unable to be sensed by another Nen user within the area. I jumped into the woods and ran full speed ahead around the border of the forest. This would allow me to get back to the shack I was building while remaining in the cover of the trees.

"Hey wait!" I heard something pass by overhead at a speed that far easily tripled my maximum running speed. Which was an estimated 200 miles per hour which came from training in the woods for two months. She's fast! I'm gonna need to keep my wits if I am gonna stay hidden for long. I saw my partially built shack. Yes! I made it! Time to build... This ugly, boring, and low quality shack. That was when I saw a bird fly over to the framework and land on it.

"Hey get off of that! Shoo!" Stupid bird! Get off of my house. I heard rustling in the tree the bird came from. "OH NO!" Around, 30 more birds flew onto the structure. "Get away! Damned stupid birds!" It seemed insulting then got their attention. The birds for off of it and charged me. "OH MY GOD!" They were all coming for me, and I decided that the best solution would be to... RUN FOR MY LIFE!

It was at this time that I called for a tactical retreat. I know, real manly of me. But those birds could peck! I had made it back to the shack, it was still intact by some miracle. I saw something pink pop out from behind a tree that was an inch thick. Not again.

"OH HEY!" The second she said this, the logs that had miraculously survived the birds, had fallen down.

"NOOOOOOOO"

"Pinkie! You've killed my house!"

"You wanna go to my party now?"

"No."

Well, I guess I can just be homeless. It's fitting for someone like me. I could make my income via odd jobs!

"Okay! Bye!" Pinkie Pie said.

"Wait! Do you have a pencil and paper!"

"Yes!"

This is going to be great!

"Could I borrow those two items for something."

"Sure! If you come to the party!"

Damn, you know what? You win, I will go and leave right after I arrive. Fool.

"You have a deal." I said to her. A moment later she pulled out a pencil and paper out of her mane. I don't even know how she was carrying to me at the moment. "See you later!" She said after handing me the paper.

I looked at the paper, it seemed normal. Sort of out of place if you ask me. I looked at the thin edge of the paper with one eye closed, so I could see it better. I then saw something that made me question everything.

Pinkie Pie walked past a thin tree, and disappeared into nothing. I walked behind the tree and saw nothing. What the hell? SHE WAS RIGHT THERE!

I wrote something down on the paper. That there... An edit here... Aaaaaaand done! I had a plan to get to. But first, I need to steel myself with resolve for what I'm about to do.

XXX

I ran into town square, into a large crowd of people. "Listen up!" It seemed that I was able to get their attention on me. That is a very unsettling sight to see. Their eyes are huge! It's starting to creep me out. I started to get nervous from all of the large eyes literally every color of the rainbow staring me down.

"Well... Odd jobs!... Damnit... Just read the poster!" I ran off of the stage, leaving the paper behind. This was where my career started.

Well, first I'm going to need to set up shop. I thought as I looked in the area where I would do odd jobs. The area was not very populated compared to the town square. It was at the edge of town with a small tree. Not like the big liveable tree on the other side of town.

There was... Citizens near my tree. Some would stare at me, while others minded their own business. A particular group of 3 children were all staring at me. It sort of ticked me off, but at the same time made me curious.

"What are you looking at!" I shouted at them, acting as intimidating as possible.

"Your face!" The one with little wings said at me.

"Why you little!!! Damnit." I said under my breath and sighed. While I was glaring at them, it seemed my first customer had arrived.

"Well hello there! How may I help you! The fee depends on the job." The pony that I was talking to had a tan coat, and was wearing a hat. It was a bit strange, but I had no place to judge.

"Howdy there pardner. My name is Applejack! My fence needs to be painted over again." She asked in a southern accent.

"Okay, that will be fifteen of whatever currency you use here in town." Her eyes brightened when I said this. At this point I saw that I needed more experience when it came to pricing my services.

XXX

I spent the rest of my day painting the fences lining an entire Apple orchard. I was a fool.

"Well! Here's the pay!" She said as she handed me the fifteen coins. One by one. It would have been agonizing to watch her count every coin one by one. However, I was not really paying much attention as she put the coins in my hand.

"And fifteen! Your good to go!" I averted my gaze back to Applejack and put the coins in my pocket. "Yeah thanks." I responded.

"No, thanks to you sir!" Bastard! This reminded me of my failure to properly price the job, and exhaustion from the job. I walked away. Honestly though, I was surprised I even got a job on the first day. I went back to my moderately sized tree, it was probably the closest thing to a home that I could think of. This area of town was considerably less crowded from before. This was probably due to the time being sundown. You know what, I am going to sleep in this tree! I jumped on to a thick branch on the tree. I sat on the branch for a moment. Wait, I'm not even tired. I will never name my price again. Two seconds later I fell asleep, snoring loudly.

XXX

I woke up on the dirt, and not on the tree anymore. How do I not feel myself falling out of a tree while I sleep? I must have been really tired. I was also pretty hungry at the moment. Well, now is about as good as ever to go hunting. I got up and stretched my arms and legs.

I ran into the woods, I hope that I will get a good catch. I started sprinting around the area with a rock in hand, ready to throw.

I had been running for around 2 minutes straight into the woods looking for my next target. I caught a glimpse of some sort of creature. It had the body of a snake with wings. Okay, since when did snakes have wings. Then again, since when do horses talk like humans. Never mind! Food is food. I looked up and my jaw dropped in shock. A chicken! Wait what? I threw the small rock in my hands toward the creature. It looked me straight in the eyes. The second it did, I started losing feeling in my legs, starting from my toes. What is going on? The rock I threw went straight through the creature's head.

I looked down at my legs and saw them slowly reverting from stone. Holy shit, I almost got turned into stone! I realized immediately. Well, I didn't. Now I have my breakfast, lunch, and dinner all in one! My stomach growled.

"Alright stomach. Food now, talk later." I looked at the now deceased creature on the forest floor. It was a much bigger catch than I had expected. It was around double my height, and 3 times my width.

"So it seems I have a problem. How will I carry this?" A devilish grin spread across my face. I had an idea.

"It's simple, I don't!" I activated REN and looked at the trees around me. I kicked down some small trees near the corpse of the strange creature, and then I put them in a pile next to the body.

By now I was breathing heavily and drenched in sweat. Crap, I really need to practice more. I kicked the leaves off of the trees, leaving me with just the logs. After kicking the trees down, it left me looking into the open skies above. Just as planned. I continued working on my creation for another hour...

XXX

I had tied the creature to the log and was ready to be cooked up for my lunch. I had built a log cabin, not a campfire. "Now I have a place to sleep! Time to eat." I started a small controlled fire and after letting it burn down to the coals, put the body on top of it.

XXX

After preparing the food and eventually eating it, I decided to go back to town. Money does not earn itself where I'm from! I ran through the forest into town. Before I got there however, I made a small wooden stand with odd jobs branded on the sign.

"Alright! Business is now open!" I shouted in hopes of a customer. This will be easy! I thought to myself. But, after looking around the street was empty.

XXX

"OH COME ON!" I shouted out of frustration. I was sitting on the branch of the tree behind me, out of boredom. Should I leave? It's clear nobody is coming. I looked around in every direction, and saw nothing.

"Well, I was bored anyway. Might as well leave." I kicked my job stand with REN activated, shattering it with multiple violent snapping noises. I deactivated REN, and went back to a contained TEN.

I heard footsteps behind me. "Sorry, shop's closed today. Find me another time." I did not turn around.

"Is that a human I see? Having trouble finding customers maybe?"

"Yeah, I am a human. Possibly the only one you will ever see. Haven't had a customer today!"

I still refrained from turning around. I was sick of seeing Technicolor ponies. If I did not know any better I would say it's bad for my eyes.

"These ponies are little racist bastards in my opinion. No offense." I turned around and instead of seeing a pony, I saw a zebra.

"For you traveler, I can relate. Even now, it is difficult to participate."

"You caught me at a bad time... I tell you what! If you need any odd jobs done, talk to me and I'll make it half price!" I was sick of conversing at this point in time. I activated ZETSU and got ready to leave.

"Well, I'm bored. See ya!" I took off a second later. Leaving a confused zebra in the dust. Once I reached my home, I decided to do something new. By that I mean exploring the depths of my NEN power. It could be because I feel that I took my power for granted. Mostly, I was just bored and NEN was the perfect solution to my problem. The first part of my training is to be able to attack from any angle.

Even if doing so required something as complex as jumping off a wall to attack. For the training, I would put a log in an area surrounded by trees within a one hundred foot radius at the minimum. From this point, I would jump at the tree and kick off of it, and try to land a kick on the log that I set behind me without touching the ground.

Got that? Easy right? Long story short, not only was it practically impossible to me, I still had to try and do it. The whole time, I never even reached the log in the 5 minutes I tried reach it. No matter how hard I ran or kicked it never worked. In the beginning, I was cocky and tried to attempt it while doing ZETSU. Then when my pride was hurt I started using TEN, and after that I did REN for the last of the 5 minutes before I tired out.

"This freaking sucks man. I wish I could do that without the talent needed. Too bad for me, I guess." I said to myself in my fury from failing many times. Onto phase two! I said in my mind, due to my body being too exhausted to move. My plan for phase number two is going to be going to sleep right here in the middle of the forest. Nothing could ever go wrong with this situation. I sarcastically thought. I got to my feet with the help of a stick and made my way back to the cabin. I'm gonna take a nap for sure.

XXX

What time is It? I looked out of the window. Nighttime? Any time is time to train for me! I tried to get up of the cabin floor. I managed to succeed and I opened the door to my small cabin which fortunately I was right next to. What I saw next, shook me to the core. It was a mass of angry pink fur staring back at me.

I remained composed and stood there staring. Then, I shut the door in her face.

"AAAAAAHHHHHHH" I screamed as she barged my door open.

"You said you would come to my party!" She shouted angrily.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHH" I screamed as I jumped out of the window.

"Get back here! You party pooper!" She shouted out of my window.

Faster. Faster. FASTER! Was the thought that I had as I pushed my running speed past my limits. If she captures me, I have to go to a party with a bunch of strange multicolored ponies! Most of them I don't know at all!

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH" I screamed as I jumped out of the window and activated ZETSU.

"Get back here!" She shouted out of my window.

Faster. Faster. FASTER! Was the thought that I had as I pushed my running speed past my limits.

If she captures me, I have to go to a party with a bunch of strange multicolored ponies! Most of them I don't know who they are. I don't want to involve myself with them just yet.

I went back to my house after a while. I went into the floor and lied there. I thought to myself just one thing. Where did my journey start. I decided to think back to it...
