Ch 1: The Assumption

It’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!

Ch 2: A Trip to The Park

{Anon’s POV}

You’ve been lost in thought over the Pinkie scenario, you almost forgot that you were in the presence of Twilight and she was looking at you with a concerned expression.

“Anon? Helloooooo..? You alright??”. You then quickly came back to senses.

“Wha-OHH yeah I’m alright. Just have something going through my mind lately but it’s no biggie..”

“That’s good to hear, how’s your new place holding up?”

“She’s been keeping me all nice and cozy. Nothing much to complain about.”

“Hehe, why do you refer to your house as a ‘she’?” Oh that’s right, ponies still don’t truly understand parts of certain human cultures. So here comes an explanation.

“Oh for some humans, for things we have that are of value or are important to them, it’s been kind of a thing to refer such objects as a female. I never really understood it myself, but I just went along with it. We’d even go far enough to give our items names. Like I named my old car Nugget because of its’ small size. It’s a weird thing but us humans just go with it I guess.” Twilight just laughs in response and you admit that you feel a little embarrassed about it.

“PFFF-HAHA well now that is quite interesting *giggle*. Hmmmm maybe I should start giving my books special names,” she said, you hoped, sarcastically.

Okay now that’s just precious. You just couldn’t fathom how adorable Twilight could get. Especially when she laughs, that bloody laugh. Both of you exchanged laughter and more chatter as you eventually approach the local park. It’s a nice day today so hopefully you may see some beautiful flowers and plenty of critters.

However as both of you started entering the park, you just couldn’t get that damn thought out of your head. It’s come to the point where it’s bothering you. It didn’t really help the fact that the pony of concern, Twilight, IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU! You honestly wish you hadn’t bumped into Pinkie, but no. The thought of you liking Twilight more than a friend kept flashing through your head. To make things worse, the more you spoke to Twilight or even looked at her, a strong feeling in your chest kept growing.

“Shit, I think Pinkie was right, I do see Twilight as more than a friend. FUCK!” you thought to yourself.

How about this, just try to focus on having a good time with Twilight and enjoy the moment, don’t let these thoughts bother you.

The flowers were blooming, birds and all sorts of creatures were happily enjoying life. There are some different species of animals here than back at home, but as usual there are similar species. Most notable being the crow, god those fuckers are annoying. Constantly squawking and trying to peck some fights with other animals.

“You know, I’ve never seen the crows being this active before” Twilight stated.

“It does seem there are more of them this year, so a big rise in population happened. Perhaps have to watch so they don’t overpopulate and then no one around here can rest” Of course Twilight "trying" to be the nerd she is, she went all zoologist on you.

“Actually I don’t think it really has to do with more of them. Well yes there are more, but it’s not as if there was an increase in population. Perhaps because of this past winter being colder than normal, it could’ve caused some of these crows to migrate from the far north reaches of Equestria. Thus these new crows probably don’t like the native crows that reside here.”

“So migration basically.” you said with a sly look on your face.

“Uh-hehehe, in simple terms, yes.” You noticed the blush on her face, how adorable.

You’d think Fluttershy was like, the one for all the animal related information, but Twilight here is easily a close second. You can’t really blame her though, she’s a very smart mare. She reads constantly and is studying new information on a daily basis. She basically has a book for almost every single source of matter and entities. You now wondered if she wrote a book about humans considering she studied on you a shit ton. At least you knew if you needed some information, just ask Twilight, she’ll tell you everything you need to know. She’s such a nerd, that’s one of the many things you love about her. The word “love” floated in your mind. Oh no, here comes the feelings again.

At this point you found yourself sitting on a bench next to Twilight embracing the atmosphere and the sounds of nature. Unfortunately though, you noticed Twilight giving you that same look from earlier.

“Are you sure you’re doing fine Anon? You just have a look on your face like something is bothering you. Do you wanna talk about it? I’m all ears.” Fuck, you had to think of a way to convince her you’re alright.

“Just many thoughts going through my head lately. It’s mainly personal stuff, nothing special.” Twilight however didn’t seem to be letting you off the hook just yet.

“Come on Anon, you’re my best friend. I want to be able to help you in any way I can. So if something truly is bothering you, please don’t be afraid to speak your mind.” Okay...this is gonna be more difficult than you think. So you decided to pull a basic response of an edgy introverted high school teenager.

“It’s really just me being upset about my old friends and family. I more than likely won’t see them again and you know? Or even just wondering if they even mourned my 'death' like if they really even cared for me. It’s just tough on me to basically try and move on. It’s like when a loved one dies, that’s hard to process and go through.” To your surprise, Twilight took the bait. Works every time!

“Oh...I understand how you feel Anon. It’s a really difficult thing to go through and I can’t imagine the sorrow you’ve felt ever since you came here to Equestria. But hey look at the bright side, you have all your friends here in Equestria. You got me, Starlight, Pinkie and many more. AND WE ALL SUPPORT YOU!”

You couldn’t help it, you actually started to tear up a bit even though this topic isn’t your issue. Twilight notices the tears and immediately comes in for a huge. You obliged.

“We’re all here for you, I’m here for you! I promise that I’ll help guide you along the way and be there for you. Because that’s what friends do”.

God you just fucking love this horse. You then feel that sensation in your chest skyrocket. You just wanted to give Twilight a big huge kiss, but you still felt it wasn’t right. You really needed to tell her how you feel, but was now a good time? You however, were interrupted by Twilight.

“Hey, let’s continue walking around. Maybe clear your mind off certain things. After all, we still have plenty to do on our list!” she said with a cheerful smile.

"Yeah, that sounds nice. Thank you Twilight"

"Anytime Anon!" and with that being said, y'all were up and moving.

{Twilight’s POV}

You were happy, happy that you could cheer Anon up! After all, what are friends for? However just thinking the word “friend” froze you in place. That weird feeling is back again. This feeling consuming you for the past few months, especially after Anon left the castle. You could never tell just what it was, but it mainly struck you whenever you were in Anon’s presence or even just thinking about him.

“There’s that sensation again UGHH!” you thought to yourself annoyingly.

Clearly something wasn’t adding up and Anon more than likely had something to do with it. You kept on thinking about the circumstances and just what happens whenever this feeling hits you. First you develop a tingly feeling inside your chest, your heart rate rises and you feel much happier whenever you’re with him.

“I mean the happiness would be because I’m with my best friend, being with friends always makes me happy.” But even with this explanation, something still was not adding up.

You’ve done research on this issue ever since it started and even sent a letter to Princess Celestia wondering what she had to say. Her response was something you really wanted to deny. She stated that you were more than likely “in love”. Just that simple phrase “in love” really made you think and pondered if it actually was true.

“Am I really in love with Anon? But he’s a human and I’m a pony! We’re of two completely different species, I don’t know how it will work out or how other ponies will view me if I claimed one of another species! But I mean, he’s just always been there for me, he understands me and he’s honestly kinda cu-” you stopped yourself there, now that tingly feeling is showing its’ true colors and hitting you good.

“Why won’t this sensation go away! I just….I mean...yeah he’s cute, he's a gentleman, he makes me feel good around him.” At this point you realized complimenting him was just making the feeling worse. You were just relieved Anon wasn’t hearing any of this or at least hoped he couldn’t read minds.

You were then wondering if you should tell Anon how you feel, but you were concerned it could ruin the friendship you and him have. Just the thought of losing your best friend, you couldn’t even bear to handle. At least estrus season wasn’t until some couple months from now. All these thoughts just flowing through your head until you’re interrupted by Anon trying to get your attention.

“Hey Twilight, I just remembered Rarity had some apparel ready for me today. You wouldn’t mind if we stopped by her shop and pick it up?”

“Oh no, that’s completely fine! I wouldn’t mind seeing Rarity. Plus I’m interested in just what clothing she had designed for you” she said with big smirk on her face. Anon just rolled his eyes.

So you and Anon make your way to Carousel Boutique with these thoughts still going through your head. This was gonna be a long day for sure. But for now, you just gotta tough it up and enjoy the time you’re spending with Anon. Perhaps you could speak to Rarity about the issue at hoof you’re dealing with. It would have to be in private however.

“She’s been with plenty of stallions, she would understand right?” you thought.

Author's Note

That wraps up chapter 2! Even Twilight has developed feelings for her best friend. What a fiasco this is!

I almost considered adding a "Sad" tag for the little somewhat emotion part in this chapter (and maybe from the first), but it's not really a dramatic feeling. It seemed very anticlimactic for me. Don't worry, there won't be extremely sad moments in this story.

Likewise, any criticism is welcome.

Ch 3: Typical Girl Talk

{Anon’s POV}

You could’ve sworn you saw Twilight with a nervous look on her face, but you’re not gonna think too personally about it. For the moment, you need to grab your shit from fashionista horse. You also noticed some clouds coming in.

“Uhhh hey Twilight, wasn’t it supposed to be sunny all day”?

“I believe so, I mean...unless the pegasi just said screw it and rolled some clouds in”.

“Well, hopefully it won’t come to the point where it might rain. Rainbow Dash did tell me it was gonna be a quote ‘nice’ day today”.

“I wouldn’t worry too much about it Anon. You worry about a lot of things anyways”.

Okay, didn’t have to rub it in purple smart. You couldn’t help it, you were always the type of person wanting to know what to expect. Scratch that thought, Rarity’s workshop is just up ahead.

“Oh my god, finally! She just had to be all the way across town” you said with a sigh of relief.

“You’re such a baby *giggle*”.

“Twilight, you are not helping”. She just laughs in response as both of you enter the boutique.

“Hello, welcome to Carousel Boutique! I’ll be with you in just a se-OH MY Anon and Twilight what a surprise! How may I help you two today”?

“If I’m correct, you have some apparel ready for me miss”?

“As a matter of fact I do! Let me go grab them real quick,” Rarity says as she disappears in the blink of an eye. Twilight then chimes in.

"Sooo….what exactly did you have Rarity whip out for you”?

“Oh, just the basics. Some shirts, pants etc. I did ask for a tank top for whenever I’m lifting heavy stuff and can allow more air to flow through on my bare skin. I’ll sweat like crazy with anything else on”.

“Apologies but, what’s a tank top”? Even Rarity didn’t understand it at first.

“See this shirt I’m wearing? It’s basically this but without the sleeves on my upper arms. A sleeveless shirt in simple terms”.

“Wouldn’t you get cold in that pretty quick”?

“Yes, I’ll literally turn into an ice cube and die”. She didn’t take your sarcasm lightly.

“Oh 'ha ha', you know you’re full of it”. At this point Rarity had returned.

“Alrighty darling, here’s all your wear. If you’d like, you can try them on down the hall in the fitting room.”

“Yeah, I think I’ll do that,” you say as you’re already making your way to said fitting room.

{Twilight’s POV}

You watch as Anon walks off towards the other room to try on his stuff. Your gaze was halted by Rarity initiating a conversation with you.

“So Twilight my dear, how have you been lately? How’s Spikey-Wikey”?

“I’ve been doing good, Spike’s been alright. He’s still pretty pumped about his new wings. Little dragon is growing up *giggle*”.

“Goodness right? Time flies by so fast, you’re amazed at just how the little ones grow. What have you and Anon been doing”?

“Oh we’ve just been hanging out throughout the day, we took a walk through the park and have been catching up. Have you noticed all the crows around here lately”?

“Oh don’t even get me started, dear. Those birds are so obnoxious and Opalescence has been trying to catch one. How disgusting of her am I right”?

“Well Rarity...she’s a cat and cats are carnivores. They eat meat, so they’ll eat a bird”.

“I suppose you do have a point there,” Rarity said, obviously still disgusted by the thought of her cat eating a bird.

As this conversation kept on going, you were waiting for a moment to just ask her the big question. Or more so, just talk about the issue at hoof. The thought of you loving Anon has been flowing through your head this entire time and you just needed someone to talk to about it. Now was your chance to ask.

“Rarity? I have a question to ask or really...I just want to talk about something. You don’t mind do you”?

“But of course darling! Whatever seems to be troubling you”?

“Uhhh before I tell you, can we go somewhere a little more private”?

“I don’t see why not”.

You and Rarity settled into her bedroom, you just didn’t want to risk Anon randomly popping back out to hear the conversation. Or worse, be hiding somewhere and eavesdropping. Now how to word this properly….

“Okay Rarity, promise me you won’t judge me for what I’m about to discuss. This is a serious matter”.

“You have my word, darling”.

“Okay then…..for the past few months I’ve been experiencing this feeling. A feeling that feels like a radiating flame in my chest. This feeling started after Anon left the castle and moved into his own place. I...didn’t really think too much about it since I assumed it was just me being all mopey about him leaving. But this feeling, it kept growing. It kept on coming around, especially when I was within Anon’s presence. I couldn’t really determine just what this sensation was, it really bothered me. I even sent a letter to Princess Celestia asking what she thought about this and her response was something I didn’t want to accept just yet. She stated I was more than likely ‘in love’. I kept pondering that thought and asked myself a lot of questions. But what I really want to know, is….is this what love really feels like”?

“Now love can be a complicated topic, darling. But based on how you’re describing this feeling you’re going through. I can easily say that you are indeed in love Twilight. You’re in love with Anon”.

“But why? Why him? I mean...it’s not that I don’t approve of the thought of me an Anon being a thing, it’s just….I guess what I’m getting at is I just don’t know. He’s not even a pony, he’s a human”!

“It may be quite an interesting combination, but I don’t see how it would be an issue if you and him were together. Sure he’s of different species, but look at griffons. They’re a mixture of a lion and an eagle, yet it somehow works. Look dear, my advice is to just follow what your heart and inner gut is telling you. Love is an beautiful feeling, you shouldn’t let what anyone else might think affect your love for another. When you feel it’s right, why don’t you just tell Anon how you feel. It’s way better than just sitting around doing nothing, you would just end up feeling even worse as time goes on”.

“*sigh* I guess you’re right, Rarity. I’m gonna think about this a bit more before I commit to anything. Thank you, I really needed to get that off my chest,” you said as you and Rarity went in for a hug.

“It’s my pleasure, darling. I’m always here to listen and help in any way I can”.

{Anon’s POV}

As you were trying on the new set of clothes, you kept hearing the sound of hooves clopping around from above.

“Hopefully they aren’t bitching about something,” you thought.

But then again, when you put two women together, interesting things are bound to happen. Whether it be positive or negative. Knowing Twilight and Rarity though, you weren’t too concerned.

“Wow this tank top fits just perfectly, I should tip Rarity extra for this one”.

While you shuffle around some more clothing, you started singing along to a Police song in your head. Particularly Murder By Numbers….such an underrated song by them. Nonetheless you kept on singing along.

Eventually you wrapped up your changing session and went back out to the main lobby. There was one problem though. Rarity and Twilight weren’t anywhere to be seen.

“Probably still upstairs doing whatever, I’ll wait”.

Your eyes gaze to the corner and see Rarity's pet cat whom you forgot the name of.

"Here kitty kitty!" The cat just hisses in response.

"Fucking cats I swear".

{Twilight’s POV}

Okay, at this point you weren’t denying your feelings anymore. You did view Anon as more than a friend. You loved him and now that you gained some support, you just need to figure out how you’re gonna break the news to Anon. Speaking of Anon, he just finished checking out his new stuff as both you and Rarity headed back down to the lobby.

“Well there y’all are, I've been sitting here for like 10 hours”!

“Oh please, it wasn’t that long dear. Twilight and I were just having a little lady talk,” Rarity said as she gave you a wink. Rarity, you're not helping.

“I’ll say Rarity, you never cease to impress with what you can do. You’re way better than what the humans did back at home,” Anon said as Rarity blushes at the compliment.

“Why thank you darling! I always love hearing a satisfied customer”.

“So how much do I owe you”?

“Oh don’t worry about it this time, I’m feeling extra generous today”.

“Wow, thanks Rarity you’re the best”!

After a few more word exchanges, you and Anon made your way out of the Boutique wishing Rarity a nice day and such. It was getting really cloudy now. Perhaps there’s bad karma for Anon worrying too much.

“Huh..more clouds. I’m starting to think Rainbow was lying and this might be a prank. That little shit”.

“I’m honestly not surprised, sometimes the weather can be unpredictable even if the pegasi state what it’s gonna be. They have the power to change it whenever and however they see fit”.

“Sounds just like my old home. One day it’s 100 degrees outside and sunny, the next day it’s below freezing and snowing. Except pegasus don’t say what comes and goes. It’s all mother nature’s work”.

“The weather sounds very brutal from where you came from *giggle*”.

It was at that moment you felt the first raindrop. You figured Anon might kill Rainbow for this one. But luckily for the both of you, your castle was just down the street. Perhaps you could shelter until the rain subsides. Based on the dark grey clouds in the distance, you could tell it was about to get pretty intense outside.

“Yeah that doesn’t look good, shit about to pour like crazy” Anon stated.

“My castle is just down the corner, let’s just camp out there and wait for the storm to subside”.

“I guess...I was honestly hoping to do some more fun activities with you around town”.

“It’s okay, we can just cause absolute chaos at the castle, I’ll make Spike and Starlight clean it up if we make a mess”.

“Now that’s what I like to hear, let’s get going!”.

You both quickly rushed to the castle as more raindrops kept on falling. Once you two made it to the castle, y’all quickly went inside. A few seconds later, it started pouring outside. Perfect timing! Y’all were then greeted by Starlight Glimmer.

“Well you’re back earlier than I presumed. Oh where are my manners, hey Anon, long time no see”!

“Hey Starlight”.

“You both look exhausted….doing alright”?

“Yeah I’m fine, Twilight however is a little upset her mane got wet” you smacked Anon upside his head.

“Oh come on, I’m just messing with you hehe” you were clearly embarrassed.

“Uhhuh yeah, anyways it’s pouring rain when it was supposed to be sunny today”!

“Yeah, you two barely managed to escape the torrential downpour, would’ve been funny to see you both getting soaked *giggle*”. You weren’t gonna listen to anymore nonsense about getting wet.

You went to your room for a bit to redo your mane. You then started thinking that now that you and Anon are vacating in the castle until the rain moves on, it could be the perfect chance to confess your feelings. But you needed to think of how you were gonna do it.

As you gathered you thoughts, you took the time to relax and watch the rain fall outside.

Author's Note

Chapter 3, done.

What's next? Up to you to find out. Let's just say it's gonna be an interesting day at the castle.

Any criticism allowed, I'd like to improve as a writer.

Ch 4: Revelations

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Ch 5: In and Out of The Storm

{Anon's POV}

Okay you have to admit, this rain is pretty fucking intense. You’ve only been outside for a minute and you feel as if you stood right at the base of Niagara Falls. You aren’t complaining too much, the only thing you aren’t fond of is the feeling of wet socks. Oh my god, wearing wet socks is just the absolute worse.

“Damn, it feels like the storm’s just getting worse and worse! What is this a category 5 hurricane?!”.

Well to be more realistic and less dramatic, you’d practically be flying off your feet in over 250 km/h category 5 winds. Yes, you used the metric system, fuck the imperial units. Nevertheless, you struggled your way to get back to your place to attend to your little “emergency”.

“I honestly doubt Twilight will buy that bullshit excuse, but it’s not my problem anymore…”.

You could’ve sworn you heard your name being yelled out by someone, but instincts told you it was automatically Twilight, so you went Usain Bolt mode. In reality though it was just your imagination, but you still weren’t taking any chances. Your house comes into view.

“Oh thank goodness, home sweet home!” you said all exhausted from sprinting.

You got to the front door, went inside and quickly locked the door. Don’t need any visitors for quite a bit. You checked on your oven that was obviously turned off. For now it’s thinking time. But what better way to make the mood better than with some music? You couldn’t help it, you were basically a music fanatic knowing plenty of artists that most Millennials or Generation Zs have not even heard of. But what song was on your mind?

“Well this downpour is giving me a Doors vibe, so Riders on The Storm it is”.

Once the 7 minute song starts, you get all comfy and relax. You could just jam to that 2 minute keyboard solo all night long. However, you also needed to figure how you were gonna handle Operation Twily. A dorky name, right?

“Ok so two things, first off Twilight likes me, second, what”?

This day just couldn’t get anymore interesting, it started off so casually and now it’s getting quite intimate. How to handle the situation? Many different scenarios were flowing in your head.

“So she likes me and 99.99% of the scenarios will more than likely result in us finding common ground and become a thing? Cool”.

You then checked the time and realized it was dead on 11:00pm. Might as well get ready for sleep and think the rest of this situation out in the morning. Hopefully Twilight doesn’t make a surprise visit without my consent.

{Twilight’s POV}

You were staring out the window as Spike and Starlight were casually talking about things you could care less about at this moment.

“Oh my Celestia, how long is this rain gonna last? Do I seriously have to wait until tomorrow to make my move?” you said all frustrated.

“Twilight, I wouldn’t worry too much about it, and as much as I know you’re tempted to just make your journey in the rain, the force of the storm is pretty dangerous”.

“I have to agree with Starlight on this one. I say it’s too risky, I’m surprised Anon had the guts to brave the storm”.

“Ughh….if only there was like a way I could just some avoid the storm, get to his place immediately and.................” It was then you realized the benefits of magic.

*POOOF*

“Did...did she remember she can teleport?” Spike said.

“Twilight is an idiot pfff-HAHA!” Starlight stated bursting out into laughter.

“I’m not even gonna ask how she forgot…”.

You remembered one of the main perks of unicorn/alicorn magic was being able to teleport. Wow you’re such an idiot. But what’s done is done, you’re now at Anon’s doorstep. You began to knock a few times but heard no signs of movement from inside.
You then tried opening the door realizing it was locked.

“I assume he doesn’t want any visitors right now, but I’m not done yet”.

You then strolled around the house looking through the windows seeing if there were any lights on or any sign of Anon being around. You stumbled upon his bedroom window and looked inside. After some close inspection, you noticed a stump on his bed. Okay so Anon is asleep.

“Great, just great! He had to just fall asleep during a time of urgency”!

You carefully inspected some more to make sure he was actually asleep and not just lying down. After little movement, it was settled he was passed out. You couldn’t help but admire how precious he looked sleeping.

“He’s such a cutie bundled up like a bunny. D’awwww”.

Well, your options are now limited. You were honestly tempted to teleport inside his house to wake him up but immediately thew that idea away. Number one, it’s disrespectful and two, he’d be very pissed off at you entering his quarters without permission. You accepted defeat and decide you’d wait until the next day when you hopefully don’t have any important duties to attend to.

*POOOF*

You teleported back to the castle and found Starlight all by herself looking like she’s ready to hit the hay also.

“I assume Spike went to bed”?

“Oh Twilight, you scared me! Uhh yeah, he crashed. How did it go with Anon”?

“Nothing, he was dead asleep. So I decided to let him be and I’ll confront the next day when I have time”.

“Ahh okay, well I myself am gonna head to bed. I need a lot of rest,” Starlight said yawning.

“Okay, goodnight Starlight, sleep well”!

With that, Starlight went to her room and you were all alone. All alone without Anon. You wished he was here with you keeping company.

“*sigh* I didn’t realize how hard it would be to just be able to wait. But there’s always tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be the big day,”.

“Well, guess it’s time to hit the hay also *yawn*,” you said as you made your way to your room. You were exhausted after today so hopefully you get a good rest.

As you lie down under your covers, you gazed outside watching more rain pour down. Hopefully the rain should be gone by morning. With that being said, your eyes slowly drift away as you start to fall asleep. Perhaps Luna might pay you a visit tonight?

The Next Day

{Anon’s POV}

The morning sun starts to rise, birds start chirping, crows start squawking and best of all your wonderful alarm starts ringing. You made a point to make sure your alarm was gonna be a song you’d very soon hate. So you picked Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. As much as you appreciated Wham and George Michael especially, you just couldn’t stand that song. It was overly played and it’s probably the only Wham song you’d hear on the radio. Now it has a special place as your alarm just so it can drive you out of bed.

“No, I’ll fucking just ‘Go-Go’ without waking you up, HOW ABOUT THAT!” you said smashing your alarm.

You get up, get yourself properly dressed. You decided to put on some of the new clothing you got from Rarity. After that, you went to the kitchen to start up some breakfast as you cue your playlist.

“Seems like the storm finally bailed out, but damn looks like some flooded spots here and there”.

Maybe today will be a much nicer day, without a fucking hurricane interrupting your activities. Speaking of which you’d remember all the things that went down last night.

“OH SHIT THAT’S RIGHT, TWILIGHT!” you said in a state of fear.

Oh fuck, you were worried she could suddenly pop up at your place without warning. So you basically said fuck breakfast and quickly left the house and decided Sugarcube Corner would be breakfast. The sugar rush would get you wide awake and active. You just still needed some time to think this situation through. With that, you left your house and made your way to sugar hell.

{Twilight’s POV}

Apparently you slept in a little more than you intended. Oh well, today was gonna be quite the eventful day. First you just needed to get ready and such. Once that’s done, you’re gonna confront Anon. Little did you know though, Anon isn’t even at his place at this time.

After getting ready, you departed the castle and made your way to Anon’s place. The rain let up thank goodness, however the ground was still a little damp. Hopefully you won’t trek a lot of mud. Oh wait, you can fly, problem solved. You just weren’t you whenever you had just woken up. Anon’s house comes into view, you’re almost there. The feeling is stronger than ever, for now the deed will finally be settled. You knock on the door and receive no response, however the door was unlocked. You reluctantly let yourself in.

“Anon? It’s me, Twilight. I’m here because there’s something I need to tell you. Where are you at”?

You navigated the entire house, yet he was nowhere to be seen.

“Okay Anon, stop playing hide and seek, I know you’re here somewhere. So come out now!” you exclaimed but heard no signs of life in the vicinity.

At this point, you realized he’s not even here. You wondered where he could’ve run off to.

“Hmmm….if I were a little shit human, where would I run off to during the morning”?

You then realized that because of the rain, the mud can leave hoofprints, or in a human’s case, footprints. So you exited the house and searched for any signs of footprints. You spotted one out of the corner of your eye.

“Bingo! Now which direction did you wander off to?” you said as you followed his tracks towards town.

Author's Note

Chapter 5 done, 6 currently set to be released later tonight if I'm really feeling it.

So Twilight is now determined to hunt down Anon at all costs just to get the feelings off her chest. Will she be able to track Anon down before the sun sets? We shall see in Chapter 6

In case y'all are wondering why I reference a lot of music and such, I'm basically the Anon in this story where I'm a music geek for things released before 2000. I think it's a pretty unique characteristic for this particular Anon.
I also try to add some appropriate music to add into the mood, hence Riders on The Storm as it was raining in the story.

I might do less music references from this point, unless you all are fine with listening to some tunes that some of you might not have heard.

Like always, any criticism and feedback is always appreciated!
