Jason Takes Equestria

Fluttershy's Cottage

Fluttershy could barely believe what was happening at this moment. The silent Jason just spoke for the first time outside of the castle.

Sure, said voice didn't come from his mouth but it's still surprising.

"Jason, I can hear your thoughts. Just like when we were back at the castle. This is astounding. How did this happen?"

Jason raised an eyebrow. "Really? But I don't hear it from outside of my own head like last time. That's a tad odd."

This time it was Fluttershy's turn to tilt her head. "Then how am I hearing your voice?"

Resting his chin in the crook of his thumb and index finger, Jason pondered. "Maybe it's more that my thoughts that I'm wanting to be heard, can be heard. Like a psionic ability."

"Like telepathy? does that mean you can read my mind?" Fluttershy gasped at this thought.

Jason stared at Fluttershy as her thoughts ran a mile a minute.

"Doesn't seem like it. I can only hear what you are saying out loud."

Fluttershy breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, that scared me a bit. Not that there is anything I wouldn't want you to know, but I would rather be able to tell you about them in time. You told us everything about yourself of your own free will and I would like to be able to do the same."

Jason smiled to comfort her unease. "Even I wouldn't want to pry into someone else's mind. Your private thoughts should be just that, private. So, no worries."

Fluttershy met his smile with one of her own. "Okay. Well then. Let's get ready for the day, shall we?"

Getting up from the couch Jason nodded. "Yes. Let's."

The morning went on without a hitch.

Being able to hear Jason's thought's made things a lot smoother and the two got in a good rhythm.

They finished the work that would normally take Fluttershy hours to do in little over half an hour.

Food was properly portioned out to the menagerie and the animals were happily eating their breakfast.

There was quite a bit of time before the meet up, so Fluttershy decided to have a cup of tea to relax.

Jason sat back on the couch to wait for Fluttershy's return from the kitchen. As he waited, he felt a tiny tap on his boot.

Looking down, he saw Angel looking up to him with an expectant look on his tiny face.

"Ah. Are you wanting to have me pet you again little one?"

Angel, a tad surprised at hearing his thoughts, nodded vigorously.

"Alright then."

Bending down, he placed the back of his hand to the floor, allowed Angel to clamber into his palm, then lifted the bunny to his lap.

Putting his knees together, he brought his hand near and let Angel make himself comfortable.

Angel laid himself in the valley of Jason's legs on his back, tummy in the air.

After Angel had come to rest, Jason began to rub the small forms exposed chest, belly and under his chin.

After a few moments, a contented purr was emitted from the smol bunny as Jason continued his ministrations.

"Oh. would you look at that." Fluttershy spoke as she came back to the sitting room. "He seem's to really trust you."

Jason turned his attention to her as she sat in the nearby chair but still continued his gentle pets. "What do you mean?"

With a sip of her tea, she explained. "With some animals, presenting one's stomach means that they are comfortable around you and trust you. Bunnies are particularly skittish creatures, so presenting their belly like this normally takes a long time in trust building. It's only been little over a day since he's met you, so this is quite unexpected."

Bringing his vision back to the tiny bunny whose eyes were closed in bliss, he let the thought run through his mind.

"He, trusts me?"

Fluttershy smiled over her cup. "If his body language is any indication, yes."

A tiny smile crossed his face from underneath the mask. The only indication of it to the outside world was his eyes growing into a soft stare.

"I trust you too as well." She added.

Looking to Fluttershy in the periphery of his vision he questioned. "Why's that? It's not like we have been together any longer than Angel here."

She nodded to his words. "True, but there is another thing animals are very good at. They are able to judge a pony's character without bias. If you were truly a threat, they would have let me know a long time ago."

"Ah, I see. Though those birds did fly off when I first got here."

Fluttershy giggled and shrugged "Well, birds are much more hardwired for flight in the moment of surprise so pay it no mind. They did the same thing when Twilight made her self-known when we first met."

"True." He nodded to her point of fact.

The time passed quickly till it was the moment for the meet up.

"Looks like we should get in gear and move out." Fluttershy stated as she got up from her seat to bring her teacup into the kitchen.

Jason looked down at the sleeping Angel on his lap and sighed. "Sorry little one but I'm going to have to move you out of your comfy bed."

With the utmost gentility, he lifted Angel up and placed him onto a pillow.

The tiny bunny only slightly protested in his sleep but was pacified with a few rubs to the top of his head.

straightening himself out he patted himself down to make sure he had everything was in its proper place.

After feeling the locket and book he turned to the kitchen doorway.

Fluttershy returned after placing the teacup in the sink, then walked up to Jason.

"Ready to get going?" Fluttershy asked with a smile.

Jason met her smile with one of his own as indicated by his eyes closing slightly as he grinned.

"Indeed, I am. We are just going back to Ms. Rarity's place of business to meet up with everyone first, yes?" Getting down to one knee he extended a hand to her.

"Yes." She answered with a nod while placing her hoof in his grasp.

Carousel Boutique

Rarity's morning had been a little busy today thanks to the soon to be town hall meeting that was set up to introduce Jason to the town folks.

Making sure that the requested workout clothes had been finished, having a bite to eat and doing a bit of cleaning up took most of her time.

With a huff and wipe of her brow her task's had finished.

"Now then. I should take a quick shower to freshen up before anypony arrives."

Just as she turned to leave the room, she felt the addition of two more presences appear seemingly out of nowhere.

Looking back into the main showroom, she witnessed Jason knelt down holding Fluttershy's hoof.

In her opinion, if the lighting and scenery were just right, she would swear it could have been a scene from one of her romance novels.

After releasing Fluttershy, Jason stood up then turned to the proprietor of the establishment.

"Good afternoon, Rarity. We might be a little early, but I hope were not interrupting anything." Fluttershy said to Rarity while the latter was still off in her own little world of fanciful romantic thoughts.

With a shake of the head and clearing of her throat Rarity was back from la la land.

"It's quite alright. I was just going to clean up before everyone arrived, but it appears I was too late in that regard." she chuckled to herself.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Should we leave for a while to let you shower then come back later?"

"No, no it's fine. I'll Just be a minute so just stay here. It won't take me that long at all." Rarity smiled and stepped to depart the room.

"Is there anything you would like me to help with till you finish, Ms. Rarity?"

This made Rarity spin around in an instant, eyes wide in surprise.

Looking up to Jason she stammered out, "Di-di-did you just speak?"

Fluttershy grinned to her friend, "Well in a way, he's able to project his thoughts into our minds so we can understand him. It gave me quite the start this morning as well."

"Really? That's astounding." Rarity marveled at the idea. "To answer your question, no. I've pretty much taken care of everything I needed to before you came."

Turning back, she headed toward the washroom again.

"Just wait in here and greet the others when they get here, Alright?" She smiled back to the two as she passed through the doorway.

"I'll be back faster you can say 'shear silk stockings'."

With that, the unicorn seamstress was out of sight, leaving Jason and Fluttershy alone once more.

After a moment or two, the pair went over to a small sofa that rested against one of the walls, then sat side by side.

Upon being seated, Jason absentmindedly rested a hand on Fluttershy's withers near the base of her neck, then began to rub gently.

Fluttershy stiffened slightly at the sudden touch but just as quickly relaxed as he kneaded the muscles under her skin.

She closed her eyes and sighed contentedly while Jason looked about the room.

He didn't really notice before when he was here but there were a lot of different fancy looking clothes on pony shaped mannequins.

"I see why you came to Rarity when you brought up new clothes. These outfits look incredibly well done."

Through half lidded eyes, she turned and looked up to Jason.

"Rarity has been running this boutique for many years. She has been recognized by many of the top tear fashion designers as well as celebrities."

"hmm, I see."

That's when Jason felt the approach of three beings.

Two ponies and something that seemed to be bipedal.

"Someone is coming here now and they're not alone. One is walking upright as well." Jason let Fluttershy know of the situation.

In a dreamy voice she responded. "Uh hmmm, it might be twilight with spike."

Slowly getting up from her seat (reluctantly), she walked over to the door and opened it to Twilight (hoof raised to knock) Spike and Starlight Glimmer, who were surprised to the door opening so suddenly.

Fluttershy smiled and greeted the stunned group. "Hello Twilight, Spike and Starlight."

After the greeting she moved out of the doorway to allow them entrance.

"Jason and I arrived not too long ago. Rarity is taking a quick shower but should be back soon. Come in."

Blinking for a second or two, Twilight finally responded. "Oh, I see. That saves me some trouble then."

Taking the invitation to proceed inside, Twilight turned to the two that had accompanied her. "Come on, I'll introduce you to him."

Stepping inside with little hesitation, Twilight did a quick scan around the room till her eyes fell to Jason who was still seated on the sofa.

"Good afternoon, Jason. I would like to introduce to you my number one assistant/little brother Spike, and my first student Starlight Glimmer."

Both Spike and Starlight's eyes went wide, and mouths went slack once they met his gaze.

"Starlight, Spike, this is Jason Voorhees."

Jason raised a hand in a wave.

Starlight leaned toward Twilight and spoke out of the side of her mouth in a hushed tone. "Does he not talk?"

Twilight replied in kind. "Unfortunately, no. He can make his thoughts known via gestures and writing but not speech sadly."

Jason grinned slightly seeing as he could clearly hear them. Fluttershy gave a look to him then shared a mischievous smirk.

"Well actually, I'm able to do a little more than that now."

The three of them looked as though they were about to leap out of their skin.

"Wa-wa-what?! You can talk now? How is this possible?" Twilight questioned with a wild look in her eyes.

Fluttershy Giggled into a hoof as Jason's smile tripled in size.

"It's not quite talking in the normal sense but I'm able to let my thoughts be heard by those I wish to speak to. It's a new ability so I don't know everything about it but it's convenient, right?"

Spike and Starlight, who had both been on edge the whole time, relaxed a great deal once the warm tone of his voice washed over them.

Taking this friendly atmosphere as a chance, Spike stepped forward, cleared his throat then held a handout to the curious Jason.

"Hey there Jason. As Twilight just said, my name is Spike. Nice to meet you."

Jason reached out, then grasped the small dragon's hand with his thumb and forefingers.

Gingerly he gave Spike's tiny hand a shake.

Nice to meet you as well, Spike." Jason greeted him with a smile gracing his masked features.

As he let go of the handshake, Jason then looked the purple and green dragon over. "You're quite a bit different from the ponies I've met so far."

Spike chuckled a little to himself. "That's because I'm not a pony. I'm a dragon."

Jason nodded in recognition of the word. "Ah, I see. That would explain it. My mother would read me stories about dragons when I was young. First time meeting one though."

"There were dragons in your world too?" Spike questioned excitedly.

"There are some lizard's the bare the name but none of the fire breathing type."

"Oh. That's weird." Spike spoke a little dejectedly.

Starlight then Joined in on the introductions.

"I'm Starlight Glimmer. You can just call me Starlight. Pleasure to meet you." She lifted a hoof, which he took and shook in greeting.

"Nice to meet you to, Starlight. Twilight has told me a few things about you but it's nice to be able to put a face to the name"

Her face stiffened a bit as her ears slowly lowered. "Only good things I hope."

He nodded. "Indeed. She said you are a very talented unicorn with a fondness for kites." Jason grinned and gave her hoof a small squeeze before letting go.

"Oh, yes that is true." Starlight breathed a small sigh of relief, unnoticed by those around her.

"I thought it would be best for you to decide what you would like him to know about yourself." Twilight added in.

Starlight, after being released from Jason's grasp, stood next to Twilight. "Thanks for that."

"It's not my place to talk about your past, but just to let you know, he will most likely be able to understand you better then you may think." Twilight advised her student.

Starlight took said advice to heart and nodded. "Alright but not right now. We have other important matters attend to."

After the introductions to the two, Apple Jack arrived followed by Rainbow Dash.

Rarity returned soon after, looking clean and refreshed.

"Now the only one we're waiting for is Pinkie." Twilight stated.

Jason raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" He then pointed a finger to a space just behind the Princess. "Pinkie's right there."

The group turned and to their surprise, just as Jason had said, Pinkie was present in the room.

The one who was most surprised however was Pinkie Pie herself as evident by the exclamation point that appeared over her head.

"You knew when I was here even though I was being super sneaky?"

Jason raised a finger to his temple, then gave it a few taps. "Sense ability, remember. I mostly have been tuning out the other ponies except for the ones that are headed toward me. You move very fast granted but I could still feel you coming. Of course, It's not omnipotent so I can't see everyone all the time, plus it doesn't work so well for anyone inside of buildings. I can tell someone is in there but that's about it."

Twilight closed her eyes then sighed. "We really need to get this over with so I can test those abilities of yours. Now that we're all here, I'll teleport us to Mayor Mare's office. She's expecting us and the town meeting won't take all day, hopefully. Gather up."

The group drew close as requested while Twilight's horn glowed in a purple hew.

Town Hall

Mayor Mare was sitting Behind her desk finishing up a few documents while waiting for Twilight and company to arrive.

She was a bit nervous because, not only did she have to hold an impromptu town meeting to tell those present about the new decree from the Princesses about their new resident, but she 'who hadn't even met him yet' has to assure the masses he is no threat.

Thinking over this monumental task made the middle-aged mare sigh as she turned around in her chair to look out the window.

"This is going to be one very hard sell for sure." She mumbled to herself.

A bright flash of light filled the room and signaled she was no longer alone.

She took a moment to take a breath, let it out slowly, slap a soft warm smile across her face then spun her seat back forward.

"Greetings every pony." Mayor Mare started to speak while she looked over the small group.

She paused however when she saw the very large form of Jason, who was rubbing his eye's because of being slightly blinded from the teleportation.

Her face stiffened for only a second then she continued. "I'm glad to see you all here."

Twilight was the first to answer her. "Thank You, Mayor Mare. This is Jason who I was telling you about earlier."

Mayor Mare got up from her seat then walked around her desk to more properly greet the newcomer.

Jason, who was still visually incapacitated, turned to the approaching Mare.

"Hello Mr. Voorhees. Nice to make your acquaintance." She raised a hoof for a shake.

Though he was unable to see with his physical eyes he could still see in a way.

Taking her hoof in his hand, he gave it a shake. "Pleasure to meet you, Ms. Mayor."

Seeing as Mayor Mare hadn't met Jason before, she wasn't quite as surprised at Jason's ability to speak.

After letting go of her, he blinked rapidly and finally looked at the mayor.

"Now then, I will go out first, read the declaration, tell the town folks about you, then have you come out. Does that sound okay with you?"

Jason nodded. "I'll do whatever you need me to do."

"Great." She beamed up to him while heading to the door. "This way please."

Opening the door, the mayor and the little group head to the front of the building, where the announcement would be taking place.

"Alright, you wait here and come out when I call for you." Mayor Mare opened the front door and stepped out to the waiting civilians.

Looking to the accompanying group, Jason asked. "Do you think there is anything I should say when I'm introduced to the towns people?"

Pinkie chirped. "Ponies. Towns Ponies,"

Fluttershy ignored the pink one's comment and added her own. "Mostly just greet them in a friendly manner. Be yourself. You've already been in front of the Princesses so this should be a breeze."

He nodded at her words. "True."

"Now then, I would like to bring out the being in question. He will be staying with us for a while so let's give a warm, Ponyville welcome to Jason Voorhees. Come on out here."

Jason turned to the door, put a hand to it and gave it a little push.

Stepping through the doorway, the large gathering of ponies gasped in awe to the new being in their midst.

As he walked over to Mayor Mare, Jason scanned over the crowd, looking at the multi-colored ponies as they stared back at him.

Stopping to stand next to Mayor Mare, Jason raised a hand in greeting. "Hello, everyone."

Three mares in the crowd fell to the ground in a faint and Jason could slightly hear one of them say, "The horror, The horror."

He cringed and looked back to the doorway.

Fluttershy shrugged then gestured for him to go on.

Turning back to the crowd he continued. "Um. well, I hope to get to know all of you better during my stay here. Please treat me well." He made a slight bow to the audience.

After straitening back up he looked over the crowd once more.

Everypony just stared at him causing him to become exponentially more awkward.

It was so much worse than meeting the Princesses.

Suddenly, Jason felt someone rocketing toward him at tremendous speed from the sky.

"Look out! I can't stop!" A voice called out as the crowd snapped out of their stupor.

A grey blur fell through the sky like a meteorite strait for Jason.

The crowd parted like the red sea as to not be bowled over by the incoming object.

"Help!" A female voice cried out from the grey mass.

Jason moved forward and outstretched his arms like a wide receiver ready to catch whoever it was in peril.

As they fell into Jason's arms, he began to spin on his heels and toes to try slowing their descent as to not have a sudden hard stop and injure themselves.

After a few spins, Jason slowed to a stop while holding the grey form close to his chest.

"Ow ow ow... Wait? It doesn't hurt?" The meteor wiggled a bit, raised its blond maned head, then looked around.

The small form checked over itself, then looked up to its rescuer.

Jason looked into the golden colored, walleyes of the mare as she smiled up at him.

"Thank you, mister. You saved me. Thank you."

He grinned back down at her. "Your very welcome. Do you feel like everything is alright?"

Jason slowly got down on his knees while holding the mare close as to not jostle her too much.

After coming to rest, he loosened his grip on her so she could test all her limbs at her leisure.

First one of her hind legs then the other, then one of the fore leg's then the other.

She then moved her wings slowly as to make sure nothing was broken.

Lastly, she breathed in slowly to see if any ribs were hurt in the landing.

"It looks like everything is 'A' okay from what I can tell. Thanks."

Raising a hand, Jason patted the mare softly on the head much to the mare's delight. "I'm glad you're alright. that must have been scary. What happened?"

"Oh, I heard there was a town meeting today and was rushing through my mail route to get here at a decent time. All of a sudden, a tail wind caught me off guard and sent me into a tailspin. That's when I came falling out of the sky and you caught me. Thanks again mister."

Jason nodded with a grin. "My name is Jason Voorhees. It's very nice to meet you, Ms.?"

"Ditsy Doo, but you can call me Derpy. It's what my friends call me." Derpy Beamed.

"Ms. Derpy. If you are ever in need of help, be sure to come find me. Okay?"

"Sure."

At this there was a roar of cheers from the on looking crowd.

"Way to go big guy!" A caramel coated stallion called out.

"Wooo! That was awesome!" A mare with a Mint green coat Joined in.

"YEAH!" A very muscular white pegasus yelled and flexed.

Jason got back to his feet and waved to the cheering ponies, causing them to cheer louder.

A stallion with a light brown coat, dark brown mane and green tie climbed up the stairs then ran to Derpy.

"Oh Derpy. I'm so glad you're alright." The stallion pulled her into a hug and nuzzled the side of her face.

"Doctor, please. Ponies are watching." Derpy blushed furiously while reciprocating the hug, burring her face in his neck.

The Doctor turned to Jason with tears in his eyes. "Thank you, so much for saving her."

Jason patted him on the head. "No problem. I'm just glad I could help."

He turned back to the doorway to go inside when he saw his new friends run out to join his side.

In a wave of excitement, Jason was tackled to the ground.

The praise that erupted soon after made Jason grin sheepishly.

After a long period of this he was finally allowed to get up.

"Now then. Where are we going from here Twilight." Jason asked as he brushed himself off.

Twilight perked up. "Right, we are going to head over to the Castle of Friendship so we can run a few tests. Follow me"

Twilight started walking into the crowd which parted allowing her to pass.

The rest follow soon after, while Jason brought up the rear.

As he passed by, many of the ponies patted him on the back in praise.

Soon he was out of the encirclement of ponies and was on his way to Twilight's abode.

Well, let's see what the rest of the day brings. Jason thought to himself.
