More Than a Friend?
Ch 1: The Assumption
Load Full StoryNext ChapterIt’s been almost a year since the little incident that happened to you, which resulted in you being in Equestria.
You are Anon, a human of average proportions. Nothing special.
Thinking back to that day, all you can remember was that you were in the middle of a flight across the pond. You were flying to London for a little vacation away from the states when suddenly a huge flash of fire and light engulfed your vision. The plane broke apart mid-flight. You might as well have thought “welp, I’m dead, this is nice”. But no, you were very much alive…..somehow.
Long story short, you fell from the sky unconscious facing imminent death until a wormhole of some sort sucked you in. Quantum mechanics can be bullshit sometimes, you’ll have a word with Neil DeGrasse Tyson or Einstein someday. Then said wormhole brought you to Equestria, you being critically injured, but quickly nursed back to health thanks to colorful talking horses. You can thank a bright yellow horse with pink hair for finding your dying body in the first place.
“Yeah this totally makes a lot of sense” you thought to yourself.
While being cared for, you were brought to the attention of said talking horses. Your first interaction with them wasn’t too surprising, practically scared shitless and kept on pinching yourself to see if you were dreaming. Time goes by and you become acquainted with the rulers of the nation, Princess Celestia & Princess Luna. There were two other princesses, but Celestia and Luna were the real deal.
You were then introduced to the Elements of Harmony. To this day you still think it’s a funky name. It consisted of Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Each having a significant element assigned them. Had to do with magic of friendship or some shit, you've yet to really understand it.
Anyways, friends were made and nowadays you’re treated like a true citizen of Equestria. You don’t get a lot of ponies intimidated by you anymore.
You can thank Pinkie Pie for being the positive cheerful pony she always is and introducing you to LITERALLY EVERYONE in all of Ponyville. You can also thank Princess Twilight for teaching you the ways of Equestria and the magic of friendship. I mean, you had friends back at home but they’re not the same as these new friends you have. Your human friends barely talked and when you tried to text them you’d either get left on read or just a one word response 99.99% of the time.There was no real connection. These ponies however are way different, as a matter of fact they’re very open and accepting of most creatures that come around. They actually cared about you and treated you like a real “friend”. Unlike the human friends you had, you knew they really didn’t seem to care much, but that’s not an issue now. They more than likely assume you’re dead and quickly moved on. That’s how most humans work.
Throughout the first few months of being in Equestria, you took residence in Twilight’s castle. It’s made of fucking rocks, minerals and other things that would be really valuable back at home. It’s also huge and you could get lost easily. Just like an IKEA! Eventually you managed though, while living in the castle you made friends with Twilight’s companion, Spike who was a dragon which is pretty dope. You also made friends with Starlight Glimmer, a light purple unicorn who apparently enslaved an entire town and almost brought the nation to hell. She obviously changed her ways, but sometimes you like to be a dick and bring it up.
However, the friendships you have with Spike and Starlight doesn’t compare to the friendship you developed with Princess Twilight. At first, you were intimidated by her by not only her status, but the fact she always kept experimenting on you and sometimes you thought you'd be killed during an experiment. Minus the negatives, you and Twilight’s bond grew and grew. You two always would hang out, chat, party, go places and hell sometimes even do sleepovers. It was quite an interesting relationship going on. However things changed a little bit when you moved out of the castle and got your own place.
Moving out separated you and Twilight quite a bit, you didn’t see her as much and half the time she would be preoccupied with princess duties or attending to her School of Friendship. But whenever the time was right, both of you would be hanging out and having fun. Things pretty much stayed this way all the way up until now.
{Present Day}
Today was gonna be a good day for you. You and Twilight managed to schedule a day where you both would take a stroll through Ponyville and just screw around. It’s been a few weeks since you last really spent some time with her, so you were excited.
You’re in the kitchen making some breakfast before you head off to meet Twilight. You're constantly shifting through songs determining what’s “tolerable” for you at the moment. You decide to settle on some Hall & Oates, specifically Out of Touch. You couldn’t help but sing along to the damn catchy tune. Eventually, you soon got bored of the song and just decide to switch it to a Rush playlist. Can’t go wrong with Rush. You focus on your cooking until you feel it’s prepped and ready to be eaten.
After breakfast you make your way to Twilight’s castle, thinking to yourself how you honestly miss living there. You stumble upon Pinkie Pie along the way.
“Hey Anon! Whatchu up toooo???”
“Nothing much, just meeting up with Twilight so we can explore town.” you respond.
“Oooooooooo that sounds TOTALLY fun! Can I join along!??”.
Truth be told, you were honestly just wanting some time with just you and Twilight, so you had to break the bad news to the goofy pink horse.
“As much as I would love to, no offense, but I was planning it’d be just me and Twilight... Next time you can come along though!”
The response you got was completely unexpected and nearly made the blush on your face visible.
“Ohohoho I see, *giggles* don’t worry your secret's safe with me” as she casually gives a wink.
You knew what she was getting at and you honestly wanted to smack her upside the head for assuming such things. She thinks you like Twilight and well…...it’s actually somewhat true? However you’re not really sure yet. Eventually both of you say your goodbyes for now and you finish making your way to the castle.
You soon start approaching the castle seeming to forget just how big it is. At the door, you knocked obnoxiously until you could hear an annoyed Twilight yelling "OH MY CELESTIA I'M COMING!!".
After about 20 seconds, you were greeted by that purple colored horse you just loved so much.
“Oh hi Anon! Didn't expect you so early, long time no see. How have you been?” she said with that adorkable smile.
“I’m doing great, had a little run in with Pinkie and it delayed my travel by just a bit. But other than that, I’m looking forward to exploring town and catching up with you!”
“Oh Pinkie...always popping in at the most random times. Well sweet! I've missed you, what shall we do first?"
“Hmmmmm…..wanna walk through the park?” you clearly didn’t think half of this through.
“Sure! I always love taking a stroll and observing the nature. It’s pretty peaceful.”
“Alright, let’s hit it then!” and thus y’all were off.
As you begin the journey to the park, the scenario with Pinkie and her assumptions were flowing through your mind and you’re only response to it at the moment is just a simple….
"What the fuck?"
Author's Note
The beginning of quite the romantic scene for Anon and Twilight. Things aren't happening just yet, but will it happen? Find out on the next chapter.
So I'm getting into writing a little bit and decided to experiment. This is a WIP story and plan to add more chapters to it. Hopefully chapters will be longer
If you have any advice or wanna critique, please do share. I'll accept any criticism and hope to improve my writing and style as things go on!
