Chapters Itâs 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 âwelp, Iâm dead, this is niceâ. But no, you were very much aliveâŚ..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, youâll 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.
âYeah this totally makes a lot of senseâ you thought to yourself.
While being cared for, you were brought to the attention of said talking horses. Your first interaction with them wasnât 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 itâs 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 youâre treated like a true citizen of Equestria. You donât 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 theyâre not the same as these new friends you have. Your human friends barely talked and when you tried to text them youâd 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 theyâre very open and accepting of most creatures that come around. They actually cared about you and treated you like a real âfriendâ. Unlike the human friends you had, you knew they really didnât seem to care much, but thatâs not an issue now. They more than likely assume youâre dead and quickly moved on. Thatâs how most humans work.
Throughout the first few months of being in Equestria, you took residence in Twilightâs castle. Itâs made of fucking rocks, minerals and other things that would be really valuable back at home. Itâs 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 Twilightâs 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 doesnât 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 Twilightâs 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 didnât 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. Itâs been a few weeks since you last really spent some time with her, so you were excited.
Youâre in the kitchen making some breakfast before you head off to meet Twilight. You're constantly shifting through songs determining whatâs âtolerableâ for you at the moment. You decide to settle on some Hall & Oates, specifically Out of Touch. You couldnât 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. Canât go wrong with Rush. You focus on your cooking until you feel itâs prepped and ready to be eaten.
After breakfast you make your way to Twilightâs castle, thinking to yourself how you honestly miss living there. You stumble upon Pinkie Pie along the way.
âHey Anon! Whatchu up toooo???â
âNothing much, just meeting up with Twilight so we can explore town.â you respond.
âOooooooooo that sounds TOTALLY fun! Can I join along!??â.
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.
âAs much as I would love to, no offense, but I was planning itâd be just me and Twilight... Next time you can come along though!â
The response you got was completely unexpected and nearly made the blush on your face visible.
âOhohoho I see, *giggles* donât worry your secret's safe with meâ 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 wellâŚ...itâs actually somewhat true? However youâre 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.
âOh hi Anon! Didn't expect you so early, long time no see. How have you been?â she said with that adorkable smile.
âIâm doing great, had a little run in with Pinkie and it delayed my travel by just a bit. But other than that, Iâm looking forward to exploring town and catching up with you!â
âOh Pinkie...always popping in at the most random times. Well sweet! I've missed you, what shall we do first?"
âHmmmmmâŚ..wanna walk through the park?â you clearly didnât think half of this through.
âSure! I always love taking a stroll and observing the nature. Itâs pretty peaceful.â
âAlright, letâs hit it then!â and thus yâall were off.
As you begin the journey to the park, the scenario with Pinkie and her assumptions were flowing through your mind and youâre only response to it at the moment is just a simpleâŚ.
"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!
{Anonâs POV}
Youâve 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.
âAnon? Helloooooo..? You alright??â. You then quickly came back to senses.
âWha-OHH yeah Iâm alright. Just have something going through my mind lately but itâs no biggie..â
âThatâs good to hear, howâs your new place holding up?â
âSheâs been keeping me all nice and cozy. Nothing much to complain about.â
âHehe, why do you refer to your house as a âsheâ?â Oh thatâs right, ponies still donât truly understand parts of certain human cultures. So here comes an explanation.
âOh for some humans, for things we have that are of value or are important to them, itâs 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. Weâd even go far enough to give our items names. Like I named my old car Nugget because of itsâ small size. Itâs a weird thing but us humans just go with it I guess.â Twilight just laughs in response and you admit that you feel a little embarrassed about it.
âPFFF-HAHA well now that is quite interesting *giggle*. Hmmmm maybe I should start giving my books special names,â she said, you hoped, sarcastically.
Okay now thatâs just precious. You just couldnât 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. Itâs 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 couldnât get that damn thought out of your head. Itâs come to the point where itâs bothering you. It didnât really help the fact that the pony of concern, Twilight, IS RIGHT NEXT TO YOU! You honestly wish you hadnât 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.
âShit, I think Pinkie was right, I do see Twilight as more than a friend. FUCK!â you thought to yourself.
How about this, just try to focus on having a good time with Twilight and enjoy the moment, donât 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.
âYou know, Iâve never seen the crows being this active beforeâ Twilight stated.
âIt does seem there are more of them this year, so a big rise in population happened. Perhaps have to watch so they donât overpopulate and then no one around here can restâ Of course Twilight "trying" to be the nerd she is, she went all zoologist on you.
âActually I donât think it really has to do with more of them. Well yes there are more, but itâs not as if there was an increase in population. Perhaps because of this past winter being colder than normal, it couldâve caused some of these crows to migrate from the far north reaches of Equestria. Thus these new crows probably donât like the native crows that reside here.â
âSo migration basically.â you said with a sly look on your face.
âUh-hehehe, in simple terms, yes.â You noticed the blush on her face, how adorable.
Youâd think Fluttershy was like, the one for all the animal related information, but Twilight here is easily a close second. You canât really blame her though, sheâs 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, sheâll tell you everything you need to know. Sheâs such a nerd, thatâs one of the many things you love about her. The word âloveâ 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.
âAre you sure youâre doing fine Anon? You just have a look on your face like something is bothering you. Do you wanna talk about it? Iâm all ears.â Fuck, you had to think of a way to convince her youâre alright.
âJust many thoughts going through my head lately. Itâs mainly personal stuff, nothing special.â Twilight however didnât seem to be letting you off the hook just yet.
âCome on Anon, youâre my best friend. I want to be able to help you in any way I can. So if something truly is bothering you, please donât be afraid to speak your mind.â 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.
âItâs really just me being upset about my old friends and family. I more than likely wonât see them again and you know? Or even just wondering if they even mourned my 'death' like if they really even cared for me. Itâs just tough on me to basically try and move on. Itâs like when a loved one dies, thatâs hard to process and go through.â To your surprise, Twilight took the bait. Works every time!
âOh...I understand how you feel Anon. Itâs a really difficult thing to go through and I canât imagine the sorrow youâve 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!â
You couldnât help it, you actually started to tear up a bit even though this topic isnât your issue. Twilight notices the tears and immediately comes in for a huge. You obliged.
âWeâre all here for you, Iâm here for you! I promise that Iâll help guide you along the way and be there for you. Because thatâs what friends doâ.
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 wasnât right. You really needed to tell her how you feel, but was now a good time? You however, were interrupted by Twilight.
âHey, letâs continue walking around. Maybe clear your mind off certain things. After all, we still have plenty to do on our list!â 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.
{Twilightâs POV}
You were happy, happy that you could cheer Anon up! After all, what are friends for? However just thinking the word âfriendâ 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 Anonâs presence or even just thinking about him.
âThereâs that sensation again UGHH!â you thought to yourself annoyingly.
Clearly something wasnât 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 youâre with him.
âI mean the happiness would be because Iâm with my best friend, being with friends always makes me happy.â But even with this explanation, something still was not adding up.
Youâve 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 âin loveâ. Just that simple phrase âin loveâ really made you think and pondered if it actually was true.
âAm I really in love with Anon? But heâs a human and Iâm a pony! Weâre of two completely different species, I donât know how it will work out or how other ponies will view me if I claimed one of another species! But I mean, heâs just always been there for me, he understands me and heâs honestly kinda cu-â you stopped yourself there, now that tingly feeling is showing itsâ true colors and hitting you good.
âWhy wonât this sensation go away! I justâŚ.I mean...yeah heâs cute, he's a gentleman, he makes me feel good around him.â At this point you realized complimenting him was just making the feeling worse. You were just relieved Anon wasnât hearing any of this or at least hoped he couldnât 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 couldnât even bear to handle. At least estrus season wasnât until some couple months from now. All these thoughts just flowing through your head until youâre interrupted by Anon trying to get your attention.
âHey Twilight, I just remembered Rarity had some apparel ready for me today. You wouldnât mind if we stopped by her shop and pick it up?â
âOh no, thatâs completely fine! I wouldnât mind seeing Rarity. Plus Iâm interested in just what clothing she had designed for youâ 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 youâre spending with Anon. Perhaps you could speak to Rarity about the issue at hoof youâre dealing with. It would have to be in private however.
âSheâs been with plenty of stallions, she would understand right?â 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.
{Anonâs POV}
You couldâve sworn you saw Twilight with a nervous look on her face, but youâre 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.
âUhhh hey Twilight, wasnât it supposed to be sunny all dayâ?
âI believe so, I mean...unless the pegasi just said screw it and rolled some clouds inâ.
âWell, hopefully it wonât come to the point where it might rain. Rainbow Dash did tell me it was gonna be a quote âniceâ day todayâ.
âI wouldnât worry too much about it Anon. You worry about a lot of things anywaysâ.
Okay, didnât have to rub it in purple smart. You couldnât help it, you were always the type of person wanting to know what to expect. Scratch that thought, Rarityâs workshop is just up ahead.
âOh my god, finally! She just had to be all the way across townâ you said with a sigh of relief.
âYouâre such a baby *giggle*â.
âTwilight, you are not helpingâ. She just laughs in response as both of you enter the boutique.
âHello, welcome to Carousel Boutique! Iâll be with you in just a se-OH MY Anon and Twilight what a surprise! How may I help you two todayâ?
âIf Iâm correct, you have some apparel ready for me missâ?
âAs a matter of fact I do! Let me go grab them real quick,â Rarity says as she disappears in the blink of an eye. Twilight then chimes in.
"SoooâŚ.what exactly did you have Rarity whip out for youâ?
âOh, just the basics. Some shirts, pants etc. I did ask for a tank top for whenever Iâm lifting heavy stuff and can allow more air to flow through on my bare skin. Iâll sweat like crazy with anything else onâ.
âApologies but, whatâs a tank topâ? Even Rarity didnât understand it at first.
âSee this shirt Iâm wearing? Itâs basically this but without the sleeves on my upper arms. A sleeveless shirt in simple termsâ.
âWouldnât you get cold in that pretty quickâ?
âYes, Iâll literally turn into an ice cube and dieâ. She didnât take your sarcasm lightly.
âOh 'ha ha', you know youâre full of itâ. At this point Rarity had returned.
âAlrighty darling, hereâs all your wear. If youâd like, you can try them on down the hall in the fitting room.â
âYeah, I think Iâll do that,â you say as youâre already making your way to said fitting room.
{Twilightâs 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.
âSo Twilight my dear, how have you been lately? Howâs Spikey-Wikeyâ?
âIâve been doing good, Spikeâs been alright. Heâs still pretty pumped about his new wings. Little dragon is growing up *giggle*â.
âGoodness right? Time flies by so fast, youâre amazed at just how the little ones grow. What have you and Anon been doingâ?
âOh weâve 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 latelyâ?
âOh donât even get me started, dear. Those birds are so obnoxious and Opalescence has been trying to catch one. How disgusting of her am I rightâ?
âWell Rarity...sheâs a cat and cats are carnivores. They eat meat, so theyâll eat a birdâ.
âI suppose you do have a point there,â 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.
âRarity? I have a question to ask or really...I just want to talk about something. You donât mind do youâ?
âBut of course darling! Whatever seems to be troubling youâ?
âUhhh before I tell you, can we go somewhere a little more privateâ?
âI donât see why notâ.
You and Rarity settled into her bedroom, you just didnât want to risk Anon randomly popping back out to hear the conversation. Or worse, be hiding somewhere and eavesdropping. Now how to word this properlyâŚ.
âOkay Rarity, promise me you wonât judge me for what Iâm about to discuss. This is a serious matterâ.
âYou have my word, darlingâ.
âOkay thenâŚ..for the past few months Iâve 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...didnât 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 Anonâs presence. I couldnât 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 didnât want to accept just yet. She stated I was more than likely âin loveâ. I kept pondering that thought and asked myself a lot of questions. But what I really want to know, isâŚ.is this what love really feels likeâ?
âNow love can be a complicated topic, darling. But based on how youâre describing this feeling youâre going through. I can easily say that you are indeed in love Twilight. Youâre in love with Anonâ.
âBut why? Why him? I mean...itâs not that I donât approve of the thought of me an Anon being a thing, itâs justâŚ.I guess what Iâm getting at is I just donât know. Heâs not even a pony, heâs a humanâ!
âIt may be quite an interesting combination, but I donât see how it would be an issue if you and him were together. Sure heâs of different species, but look at griffons. Theyâre 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 shouldnât let what anyone else might think affect your love for another. When you feel itâs right, why donât you just tell Anon how you feel. Itâs way better than just sitting around doing nothing, you would just end up feeling even worse as time goes onâ.
â*sigh* I guess youâre right, Rarity. Iâm gonna think about this a bit more before I commit to anything. Thank you, I really needed to get that off my chest,â you said as you and Rarity went in for a hug.
âItâs my pleasure, darling. Iâm always here to listen and help in any way I canâ.
{Anonâs POV}
As you were trying on the new set of clothes, you kept hearing the sound of hooves clopping around from above.
âHopefully they arenât bitching about something,â 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 werenât too concerned.
âWow this tank top fits just perfectly, I should tip Rarity extra for this oneâ.
While you shuffle around some more clothing, you started singing along to a Police song in your head. Particularly Murder By NumbersâŚ.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 werenât anywhere to be seen.
âProbably still upstairs doing whatever, Iâll waitâ.
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".
{Twilightâs POV}
Okay, at this point you werenât 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 youâre 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.
âWell there yâall are, I've been sitting here for like 10 hoursâ!
âOh please, it wasnât that long dear. Twilight and I were just having a little lady talk,â Rarity said as she gave you a wink. Rarity, you're not helping.
âIâll say Rarity, you never cease to impress with what you can do. Youâre way better than what the humans did back at home,â Anon said as Rarity blushes at the compliment.
âWhy thank you darling! I always love hearing a satisfied customerâ.
âSo how much do I owe youâ?
âOh donât worry about it this time, Iâm feeling extra generous todayâ.
âWow, thanks Rarity youâre the bestâ!
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 thereâs bad karma for Anon worrying too much.
âHuh..more clouds. Iâm starting to think Rainbow was lying and this might be a prank. That little shitâ.
âIâm honestly not surprised, sometimes the weather can be unpredictable even if the pegasi state what itâs gonna be. They have the power to change it whenever and however they see fitâ.
âSounds just like my old home. One day itâs 100 degrees outside and sunny, the next day itâs below freezing and snowing. Except pegasus donât say what comes and goes. Itâs all mother natureâs workâ.
âThe weather sounds very brutal from where you came from *giggle*â.
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.
âYeah that doesnât look good, shit about to pour like crazyâ Anon stated.
âMy castle is just down the corner, letâs just camp out there and wait for the storm to subsideâ.
âI guess...I was honestly hoping to do some more fun activities with you around townâ.
âItâs okay, we can just cause absolute chaos at the castle, Iâll make Spike and Starlight clean it up if we make a messâ.
âNow thatâs what I like to hear, letâs get going!â.
You both quickly rushed to the castle as more raindrops kept on falling. Once you two made it to the castle, yâall quickly went inside. A few seconds later, it started pouring outside. Perfect timing! Yâall were then greeted by Starlight Glimmer.
âWell youâre back earlier than I presumed. Oh where are my manners, hey Anon, long time no seeâ!
âHey Starlightâ.
âYou both look exhaustedâŚ.doing alrightâ?
âYeah Iâm fine, Twilight however is a little upset her mane got wetâ you smacked Anon upside his head.
âOh come on, Iâm just messing with you heheâ you were clearly embarrassed.
âUhhuh yeah, anyways itâs pouring rain when it was supposed to be sunny todayâ!
âYeah, you two barely managed to escape the torrential downpour, wouldâve been funny to see you both getting soaked *giggle*â. You werenât 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.
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. Youâve only been outside for a minute and you feel as if you stood right at the base of Niagara Falls. You arenât complaining too much, the only thing you arenât fond of is the feeling of wet socks. Oh my god, wearing wet socks is just the absolute worse.
âDamn, it feels like the stormâs just getting worse and worse! What is this a category 5 hurricane?!â.
Well to be more realistic and less dramatic, youâd 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 âemergencyâ.
âI honestly doubt Twilight will buy that bullshit excuse, but itâs not my problem anymoreâŚâ.
You couldâve 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 werenât taking any chances. Your house comes into view.
âOh thank goodness, home sweet home!â you said all exhausted from sprinting.
You got to the front door, went inside and quickly locked the door. Donât need any visitors for quite a bit. You checked on your oven that was obviously turned off. For now itâs thinking time. But what better way to make the mood better than with some music? You couldnât 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?
âWell this downpour is giving me a Doors vibe, so Riders on The Storm it isâ.
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?
âOk so two things, first off Twilight likes me, second, whatâ?
This day just couldnât get anymore interesting, it started off so casually and now itâs getting quite intimate. How to handle the situation? Many different scenarios were flowing in your head.
âSo she likes me and 99.99% of the scenarios will more than likely result in us finding common ground and become a thing? Coolâ.
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 doesnât make a surprise visit without my consent.
{Twilightâs POV}
You were staring out the window as Spike and Starlight were casually talking about things you could care less about at this moment.
âOh my Celestia, how long is this rain gonna last? Do I seriously have to wait until tomorrow to make my move?â you said all frustrated.
âTwilight, I wouldnât worry too much about it, and as much as I know youâre tempted to just make your journey in the rain, the force of the storm is pretty dangerousâ.
âI have to agree with Starlight on this one. I say itâs too risky, Iâm surprised Anon had the guts to brave the stormâ.
âUghhâŚ.if only there was like a way I could just some avoid the storm, get to his place immediately and.................â It was then you realized the benefits of magic.
*POOOF*
âDid...did she remember she can teleport?â Spike said.
âTwilight is an idiot pfff-HAHA!â Starlight stated bursting out into laughter.
âIâm not even gonna ask how she forgotâŚâ.
You remembered one of the main perks of unicorn/alicorn magic was being able to teleport. Wow youâre such an idiot. But whatâs done is done, youâre now at Anonâs 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.
âI assume he doesnât want any visitors right now, but Iâm not done yetâ.
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.
âGreat, just great! He had to just fall asleep during a time of urgencyâ!
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 couldnât help but admire how precious he looked sleeping.
âHeâs such a cutie bundled up like a bunny. Dâawwwwâ.
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, itâs disrespectful and two, heâd be very pissed off at you entering his quarters without permission. You accepted defeat and decide youâd wait until the next day when you hopefully donât have any important duties to attend to.
*POOOF*
You teleported back to the castle and found Starlight all by herself looking like sheâs ready to hit the hay also.
âI assume Spike went to bedâ?
âOh Twilight, you scared me! Uhh yeah, he crashed. How did it go with Anonâ?
âNothing, he was dead asleep. So I decided to let him be and Iâll confront the next day when I have timeâ.
âAhh okay, well I myself am gonna head to bed. I need a lot of rest,â Starlight said yawning.
âOkay, goodnight Starlight, sleep wellâ!
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.
â*sigh* I didnât realize how hard it would be to just be able to wait. But thereâs always tomorrow, tomorrow will definitely be the big day,â.
âWell, guess itâs time to hit the hay also *yawn*,â 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
{Anonâs 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 youâd very soon hate. So you picked Whamâs Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go . As much as you appreciated Wham and George Michael especially, you just couldnât stand that song. It was overly played and itâs probably the only Wham song youâd hear on the radio. Now it has a special place as your alarm just so it can drive you out of bed.
âNo, Iâll fucking just âGo-Goâ without waking you up, HOW ABOUT THAT!â 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.
âSeems like the storm finally bailed out, but damn looks like some flooded spots here and thereâ.
Maybe today will be a much nicer day, without a fucking hurricane interrupting your activities. Speaking of which youâd remember all the things that went down last night.
âOH SHIT THATâS RIGHT, TWILIGHT!â 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.
{Twilightâs 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 thatâs done, youâre gonna confront Anon. Little did you know though, Anon isnât even at his place at this time.
After getting ready, you departed the castle and made your way to Anonâs place. The rain let up thank goodness, however the ground was still a little damp. Hopefully you wonât trek a lot of mud. Oh wait, you can fly, problem solved. You just werenât you whenever you had just woken up. Anonâs house comes into view, youâre 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.
âAnon? Itâs me, Twilight. Iâm here because thereâs something I need to tell you. Where are you atâ?
You navigated the entire house, yet he was nowhere to be seen.
âOkay Anon, stop playing hide and seek, I know youâre here somewhere. So come out now!â you exclaimed but heard no signs of life in the vicinity.
At this point, you realized heâs not even here. You wondered where he couldâve run off to.
âHmmmâŚ.if I were a little shit human, where would I run off to during the morningâ?
You then realized that because of the rain, the mud can leave hoofprints, or in a humanâs case, footprints. So you exited the house and searched for any signs of footprints. You spotted one out of the corner of your eye.
âBingo! Now which direction did you wander off to?â 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!
