Train ride around the world (Unedited)

You are Anon, when you briefly said that the train is strange and is fast approaching, you meant it as the train emitted a strange vibe around it, as if it was a ride of your life or something but regardless of it you continued on knowing that the practice of perception is useless since you always spend time underground and is uncaptured of using short sighted vision, also it made you a tunnel vision eyes when the time of your mining days were good days, Anyways

You fixated your eyes at Limestone whose doing most of the hard work, carrying the heavy bags and briefcases for the hospital, you don’t know what contained in those bags briefcases but you guessed that it’s filled with clothes since you assumed that Every woman and mare carry clothes every time, looking at the right you saw the train slowly approaching you, you knew that the train is slowing down and is now approaching the train station in a slow speed but it’s good enough

“Anon, get those things over here!” You hear Limestone complaining loudly as she stares at you with blustering mouth, you comply and proceeded to carry the lightest bag you can carry since your arms ar still injured, especially the slammed one, you slid your fingers on the right strap and roughly pulled the left strap onto your shoulder, but you let the other strap hang loosely since the slammed shoulder is giving you trouble in carrying it. Finally the train arrived in a spectacular manner that it stopped in the perfect time and the heart shaped structure was seen in the in front of it and also in in sides too.

You see Limestone carrying 3 bags and 2 briefcases using her arms which flex in a sexy manner, as for you, you only carried one knapsack, which embarrassed you since it damaged your masculinity and manliness, you know the reason but still it stings

“C’mon lets go” A raspy voice was heard and you listened to Limestone and stepped inside the coach and found a comfortable seats, once inside you only saw a handful of Ponies inside with a exception of a Feathery pony with a beak on her face and a very very Fluffy stature, in which you admired a bit since you always wanted to own a bird since you were a kiddo

You and Limestone walked inside the coach together, the two of you got a bit cramped but managed to slip to a crack in the bags, You looked at Limestone and saw her effortlessly carried the bags on her back, It made sense since the Ponies in this world looked like equines in your world except more cute and fluffy, once you stepped inside you were finding a seat for the two of you to sit in you found one behind the beaked Pony and called out Limestone

“Hey! Over here” You called Limestone, in which in turn her ears heard it and she walked toward the seats that you are pointing, you placed the bag above you and slowly made our was to the window, Limestone arrived and placed all the heavy things above you too, after that done she looked at you and sighed, she sat down next to you but you can tell that she’s putting much distance to you as much as possible but it was almost impossible since the seats can only accommodate two ponies at once, but you are no pony and their size compare to you was rather a bit larger than them, so proceeding to gaze at the window you noticed the train is starting to move out of the train station and unto the next one, looking at the back of the seat you found no one except some’ponies’

There were five passengers in this train, one is a beaked pony which you don’t know the name of the creature, and the second one is a fancy dressed with a white black blue coat and a white mane and tail, the other one’s well, the other one is a light oranged stallion with a hat and with a expression that you can probably tell is a in fact a cowboy or something you’re unsure since you can’t judge a character when you approach it, as you were about to look at another one Limestone pulls you back to your seat

You were pulled down unto your seat, you were a bit surprised but quickly asked a question to Limestone

“What was that?” You huffed, as you began to adjust to our seat

“Don’t kneel on your seat, you looked like a foal who likes watching birds” Limestone disapproves, as she still stared at you

“Well you try getting any fun and you’ll know what my problem is” You linked as you try to find a reason to it

“Oh I had ‘fun’ alright, stopping you from making a scene in the train” Limestone stops you yet again from rising from your seat

“shesh what’s your problem with me Limestone, I never even made fun of you and yet your still acting like your my wife or something” You remarked in a witty joke trying to make her mad but coursing her attitude to your advantage, but something unexpected happened

“W-what?!” Limestone blurted, as she retracts her hand as she shuffled away from your seat “What did you say?” she questioned, earning your face with a confused one

“What?” You were confused at this point seeing her being susceptible unexpectedly, seeing her glaring eyes at you, you said carefully

“Nevermind that” You scratched your head and looked at the window, you suddenly became too timid to even broach the topic since you and her are on the train, so talking about the topic is a scary discussion so you ignored her

The rest of the trip went on like that, it was a daylight sight, the hills past you and some trees also past run past the window and the air was circulating inside the coach so it was a nice change of pace in the train, the train has no interest at all since you left you ‘things’ in the farm, minutes passed and the value of activities were increasing in every breath you take so you decided to talk to Limestone instead

You turn to the grey coated mare “Limestone” You speak up, she turn to you and responded “What?

“I was thinking” You fiddled with your fingers

“thinking of what?” she breathes a bit heavier and a silence was being menacing to both of you, she stares at you like she’s expecting something from you

“Want to play rock paper scissors?” You asked, making up an activity

Her ears went droop for a moment before standing up again “rock, paper, scissors?” she contemplated, but then decided to play the game which made you sigh in relief as the activity just started

As the two of you played it for minutes, Limestone is getting the better of you, she’s got 2 points whilst you have a single 1, she’s good at this game since her tactics was staring at your eyes and other distractions a bit, you were not sure if it’s genuine or not she is winning the game and the two of you were in a mini finale

4 Points for you, and 4 points for her, neither of you wanted to lose as the two of you stared at each other’s eyes and stared longer, taking a inhale you shake your hand and readied yourself. You saw Limestone and she is ready to take her victory as well as you are, A down and…

“Yes!” Limestone shouted, as she satisfied with the victory over you, she pumped her fist up in the air and grinned as if she won some kind of bet, You groaned, however you have a trick up your sleeve and your read y to activate it, whether it works or not you don’t care

You chuckled earning you with a confused face of Limestone and said “The winner is the loser!” You pointed “ Your the winner” You Grinned

“What?!” Limestone said in bewilderment “that doesn’t make any sense Anon” she crossed her arms, and gave you a rightful stare

“Well” You contemplated, trying to make up a excu- reason of why, you snapped your fingers internally and said “I was the one who declared the game so I make the rules” You tried to hold back a grin trying to not to laugh at this exposition

She then, predictably got a bit angry at this “What are you talking about!” she then uncrossed her arms and said, “ I won fair and square!” she pointed her index finger at you, you knew that you were just ‘horsin’ around with her but the ways she said it make her look like she took everything you said seriously and she must’ve been angry for being cheated, you saw her countless time being cheated before but not this fast, looking at her you calmly said

‘Limestone, calm down I was just kidding” You put a small reassuring smile for her to calm down, in a instant she calmed down and then she proceeded to go back to her seat swiftly, what you didn’t know is that her ears are a little droopy after that-

“sorry about that Anon” she grumbled, and you were surprised by this, she apologized to you and that was just a small thing to do, but you nonetheless

“Apology accepted” you pat her at her shoulders, then feel her entire shoulder flinch at the sudden physical touch of you, she quickly recovered then moved back to her seat, then an obvious awkward silence covers both of you, The unnerving silence was boring nothing but the sounds of train engines and smokes and the environmental view to see only, you pondered fo a while until

“Anon” Limestone started, yo turn to see her and expecting for another reply

“Why were you always like acting like a foal sometimes” Limestone questioned, you scan her face to see anything but you found none, so you decided to be honest

“Because, that’s how I cope” she raised an eyebrow and said “Cope with what?” her interest turning to you

“Cope with, life” You took a deep breath to take another story “You see, back when I was a kid I used to be loved with my mother and father, they told me stories , folklores and other important things to remember, Then one day… you know what, forget about it” You waved your hand “let’s just get to the point already, anyways when my Mother disappear I forced myself to work in the mines despite my age difference, the miners in my childhood home was desperate for some manpower so they illegally recruited me into their club, me as a kid heard this and decided to join them since I could help out with my father who is in the middle of a mid life crisis, low money, small food, and little entertainment, so I had to use my imagination to get it done and that’s it.” You finally exhaled sadly, as the painful memory was too much to handle for a full story so you avoided that part

Limestone was staring at you with something since you can’t really tell what’s in her mind, sadness, regret, something? You’re not sure so you awaited for her to response and say a word

“Did” she motioned “Did you enjoyed your life there?” she asked, you have no idea why she said that question but decided to just answer the question

“No, it was bad, people were prone to accidents in that mine since it was rumored that It was hauntd by occultive spirits, but that’s another story” You shuffled in your seat and said “I didn’t enjoy my life there, and there was no way of entertainment in that place so I had to resort to my hands and talking to myself which was fun for a while until i had to stop before it becomes a daily habit” You scratched your back once again in embarrassment since after the Weird incident where you talk to yourself was funny in it’s right it was still weird even to you today, and you didn’t even have a comment in that incident so you let it slide

Limestone took your ramblings well and said “so” she drifted off trying to think of a word to speak and spoke “How is your leg?” she asked, seemingly out of nowhere, but you decided to respond blindly since you don’t know why

“It’s fine, it hurts a little to walk, maybe I sprained it while running or whatever, But my stomach hurts sometimes but nothing too serious about it though” You rubbed your stomach “Nothing to worry about” you added

Your reassurance was heard of and her voice went calmer under expectation, but it’s a bit of a start actually since her voice seemed to crack a bit since you two board this train and started talking about personal matters, so you decided to keep pressing gathering snippets of information to get her to talk of why she’s like this so you do just that

“ since I talked about myself how about you talk a little about yourself too” Limestone turned to see a back of a compartment seat leaned down and started to relax under the pressure “Alright, ask away” she grumbles, as if she’s enduring something you are not sure though

“so how did you grow up Limestone?” You asked, since you explained on how you lived it is time for her too to explain , and obviously trying to get a perspective also. She gives you nod how you even know is still unknown but you knew

“well, where to begin. Grew up in a traditional family, a good father and mother always worked in mines and quarries, never found love “she visibly scoffed at that for some reason “ Always been angry because of the event “ You heard teeth being grinded “ but all in all it’s life” and with that she ended her story, You were surprised at Limestone for being so cynical about her life, she had a good beginning but as the story progress it got worse and worsend over the years, due to her vagueness you can only imagine the life she had to went through

You leaned to her and patted her in the back, earning you another flinch of her back even though you felt it only.

“Thanks, now I feel lamer than a Lignite” Limestone commented, not showing her emotions, she is exceptionally good at it actually, you can’t tell if she’s mad or just scared at this, you do not kno-

“But I supposed I still owe you for something right?” she smiled, suddenly turning the conversation, maybe to hide something, you in turn said

“yeah, a favor” You sighed “ about that” You scratched the surface and there is no going back “ we need to be serious about this” You placed your arm on her shoulder, turned her around, which earned you a flouting face of Limestone and said “What is your problem at the train station?” You interrogated, knowing full well that things are about to hit the fan

She looked shocked as well as furious at the sudden attempt of aggressive prying “What?!” Limestone outcried “What are you Talking?!” she booped your nose with hers as the two of you battle wills

“The anger” You counted “ the emotional randomness” Your face push her nuzzle a bit “The fact that you keep blaming all your misfortunes on me, Why?” You said in a clear crispy voice, tying to pierce her mind with your words, but you were not strong enough to penetrate her

“It’s because it’s True! You’ve been a pain to my lank since you arrived in the farm!” she vehemently Whisper-shouted, as she pointed her index finger at you and pushed you using her muzzle, you were not going to back down this time (again)

“For What!?” You exclaimed, as you didn’t believe any of her dejections

“For stealing my job and Always making me feel!!” she shouted, finally couldn’t contain any of her slowly boiling anger, she then proceeded to push her face to you like bunting you in the face

She pushed you so well that she managed to knock you down to your seats, and your pretty sure that the passengers are uncomfortable with this so they just wisely ignored this tantrum and continued on being passengers

“Is that the only reason?” You calmly asked, knowing that shouting isn’t going to help you out on being decisive, and also trying to spare your throat to being rasp like hers

“Of course not! There’s the Weird noises Every night!” You were utterly not surprised by that, you’ve always had been a weird snorter at night, long story short, it was due to some naval problems, and she was not the only one expressing her complaints since your body has been doing this since you reached your pubescent or something “ Always hesistant on somethings!” you have no idea what’s she’s talking about “ And also for a being-“ she stopped mid sentence as Ponies and a hippogriff was now staring at her rant, she reacted by sitting down and whispered “ Pervert” she softly said it, making your eyes go wide with assumptions and other embarrassing things that you wouldn’t dare talk about

You were so stunned in fact that you stood there after saying that word, so essentially you were stuck around, Limestone noticed this and said “That’s not the only list that I have” she whispered at you rather grudgingly, You now regret having her in this train towards Ponyville hospital, and now it was too late, the trip got too awkward to say anything so the both of you just sat down on your own seats and waited for something to happen interestingly but there was none

You looked at the window as the scenery between a wasteland turned into a beautiful green and various colors too, You looked up and down on the moving fast landscape and admired “How did they know that there world would be perfect?” You asked to yourself, You world was none to perfect to be honest, Daily poverty, activities against the totalitarian state governor, and Certain vendetta against families and communities was made worse by it. Staring at the few certain landscapes you were amazed of how just amazing there world can be

You looked to your next seat passenger which is Limestone, you looked at her and saw that she’s leaning on the passenger seat in front of you, you looked at her closely and saw that her eyes keep blinking and her breaths are longer and delayed, and looking at her body postre she’s using her spine as a rope? You can’t describe it but it’s like a hammock, out of a blues, yo looked deeply into her body more and more until you were hypnotized by her-

Shaking our head all of a sudden, you realized what you are doing and the suspense of this was killing you, What are you Feelings for her!! You do not know the answer cause you suddenly got too confused by this unexpected climax, one seconds ago you were enjoying next thing ou know it’s all about, well, her

You are however limitedly believe that you are familiar with the feeling for a bit, but your still unsure about her thought because she’s being more random than ever before, maybe she’s not feeling well and is taking her pain to you, maybe that’s the answer,

-as the woman came to the dangerous cave, she avoided the grasp of sunlight in order to remain unseen from her enemy, as before she said that her enemy came following her, Raffling his hands and struggling to carry himself through the stunned effect, He looked at the cave in a aimless directions until he stopped and said-

“Ah!” You suddenly jumped at your mind when a unexpected pressure came into your shoulder, it took you seconds to register it when you found, Limestone

She was leaning on your shoulder and you heard some snores on the way you search, You fixated your eyes on her face and see that she is sleeping and passed out, maybe due to exhaustion by mining all by herself or just plain tired

You were in a conflict here, on the other side was to brush her aside and let her get some space, on the other hand, you were content with it and you rather let her sleep on your shoulders even if it hurts so much to you

Landing on a conclusion you let her sleep on you, It hurts and you knew it but… it’s good, in it’s own right to be honest, you have no idea what the indepth feeling this is but there’s more to it than meets the heart, afterall

She looks down right cute when she sleeps like that, not like you first saw her like that before in fact, you were certain that you saw her sleep like that in the Bed accident, maybe she’ll not forget about it although you were looking forward on chatting with her that day, maybe it was something you don’t know

Attempting to daydream was an utter failure due to the pain and pressure that is being created in your shoulder, and now is the time to endure the pain, Looking at Limestone whom was sleeping peacefully cute she occasionally makes a squirm when you move around which makes you remark her rare side of her since it was a rarity

But *Ouch* it does hurt when you try to move around…

Looking at the window for the many times before, you tiredly looked at Limestone as many time now and it never gets old an time soon, because that face she makes when she sleeps is just so precious to you, Never get tired of her making that face although the pain is resisting to do so, it’s just so worth it…to you of course

Placing your fingers to her mane, you slowly stroke her mane and gently rubbed her head as you softly made a squirm from the pain, it was soothing to say at least but when she wakes up from this it’ll be worth it from anything

You started to feel something familiar again, and you, this time knew what is in you chest right now, it was one of those things that your ancestors and you mother and father knew throughout their whole lives, but they didn’t teach you that, because they know that they’ll never able to see you again in the after-…It was love, Your eyes suddenly bulged out in surprise as the realization was all in a single word and your heart is beating so fast from this ecstatic feeling, since when? You retraced it and you found out it was since your heart found out about it.

The sudden astonishing disclosure of your self was like a revelation, it was totally unexpected and bullets of sweat started to come out of you as to prior of the realization, how did you come this far without realizing what you have in stored for her was true and was not just a part of the feeling that you had in your mind-

Thousands of scenarios ran in your head, some imitating the others while the fact that you still had Limestone over your shoulder was scary fact, You then proceeded to calm down and looked at Limestone and slowly took a deep breath in and out, slowly and gently, you’ll be arriving at the train station towards Ponyville, and you hope that Limestone will stay by your side and help you sort out these feelings burning up inside of you, and hopefully ask if she feels the same way as you do
