Chapter 2: Cultural Differences

[Location: Ponyville Hospital, Equestria]

'Remind me again why the hell are we here?’ Motomeru grouched through the shared mental link between herself and her handler.

'Because we promised Miss Shy we'd wait for her friends to get here as she thinks they can help us...well at least one of them could,' RonI thinks back to his partner while lounging in a chair with his eyes closed.

'Yeah? Well, I say fuck that and let's get the hell out of this crazy place, did you forget what happened after walking through town?!' His sword exclaimed in expiration.

He did, and he wished he didn't.

After they exited the forest, Fluttershy led RonI through Ponyville towards the General Hospital, and along the way, he was able to briefly see the town and what it had in store for him. But surprisingly he saw nothing but mares as far as the eye could see and for the one or two stallions that he did see, he noticed how more soft looking they were compared to the mares and they were surrounded by at least two or more mares doting over them like helicopter parents. To both RonI and Motomeru's surprise, the stallions didn't seem to mind at all and actually enjoyed it as it was something normal.

He decided to ignore it and chalk it up to cultural difference but when some of the mares around town spotted RonI, they gave him various looks ranging from curiosity to cautious but a large majority gave him hungry bedroom eyes full of lust that put him on edge and Motomeru begging him to let her out. He denied but he was seriously tempted too, especially when one mare had the gall to actually walk up to Fluttershy and asked how much it would be to have a few hours of fun with him.

He was not some breathing vibrator to pass around, he was a warrior damnit and one of the best of his generation!

Luckily it didn't come to that as Fluttershy gave the mare a glare RonI didn't think the kind mare could make and kindly told her to leave, which she did with fear in her eyes. This made the trip to the hospital go by more smoothly but mares still have him varying degrees of lustful looks and trying to edge him over to them. Some even go so far as to show off their bare tits and asses to him to try and seduce him. Thankfully they arrived just at the hospital and after they got a room for Rainbow Dash and she was patched up, Fluttershy stepped out for a moment to call her friends and wanted him to wait until they arrived and they can help answer any questions he may need.

‘Don’t remind me,’ RonI mentally sighs. ‘But we can’t just ditch Miss Shy, besides we need answers and her friends may be the only ones who could give them and not want to get into my pants.’

'I swear we've met Succubus who have more self-control than those sluts,' Motomeru sighed making her handler chuckle. 'I'm serious RonI if any of these Mares try anything you don't want them too, I'm cutting them up good and you better show them why you're a warrior and you're not carrying me around just for show.'

'Noted,' RonI nods before the door opens and Fluttershy steps back into the room. "Hey, how was the call?"

"It was fine, they should all be here in about an hour or two as they are currently in the middle of work," Fluttershy says before sitting down in the extra chair. "Thank you for being so patient Mister RonI."

“You can just call me RonI, mister makes me feel old,” RonI chuckled. “I'm only eighteen for Pete’s sake.”

"Really?!" Fluttershy shouted, her eyes wide with surprise and...something else. "B-But you're so small!"

RonI rolls his eyes while Motomeru chuckles. "If I got a nickel for every time someone said that. I got unlucky in the gene pool roulette so even though I’m the age I am now I’m stuck as a shortstack until my late growth-spurt finally hits.”

“And even then you might not grow much,” Motomaru added cheekily.

“Shut it Moto,” RonI griped while Fluttershy giggled at the pair's antics. “Oh, thanks for taking care of that mare earlier in town.”

“It’s my pleasure, I really don’t like mares like that anyway,” Fluttershy says with the most adorable frown on her face.

‘Aw I want to hug her even more now,’ RonI mentally gushed.

A low groan sounded out, causing them to look at the hospital bed where Rainbow was resting, it seemed she was coming too.

“Oh joy she’s awake,” Motomeru drawled uncaringly while RonI shushed her.

“Ugh my head,” Rainbow groaned as she rubbed her head soothing.

“Rainbow,” Fluttershy smiled softly, “How are you feeling?”

“Like AJ bucked me in the head twenty times in a row,” She winces as she carefully sits up. “Where am I?”

“You’re in the hospital, you broke your wing after you crashed in the Everfree Forest remember?” Fluttershy says.

“Oh yeah, that’s right! I also got surrounded by Timber Wolves but kicked the” Rainbow started but trailed off with her eyes slowly widening as they landed on RonI.

“Yo,” The human says while throwing up a peace sign while Motomeru lazily waved her cloth.

“...What happened in the forest wasn’t a dream was it?” The cyan pegasus groaned, flopping back down on the bed.

“Well at least she didn’t go off on you again,” Motomeru commented.

“YOU!” Rainbow snarled at the sword. “You knocked me out! How did you do that?”

“If you don’t remember what happened then maybe I should do it again to refresh your memories,” The sword threatened, morphing her cloth into a fist again.

“Um please don’t fight in the hospital, I don’t want to disturb the other patients,” Fluttershy interjected softly. “...if that’s alright with you.”

“You heard the pretty angel pony Moto, stand down,” RonI chides his partner with a chuckle.

“Fine, but only because I actually like this one,” Motomeru drawled, wrapping her cloth around herself.

“Sorry about her, she tends to be pretty protective of me at times,” RonI says rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

“It’s fine Rainbow Dash is like that with me sometimes so the two of them are sorta similar in a way,” Fluttershy said sweetly.

“I am nothing like her!/ I am nothing like her!” Rainbow and Motomeru shouted as one before looking at each other in shock before glaring at the other and then turning away with huffs

RonI and Fluttershy could only shake their heads in amusement at the similarities between them.

“Alright, I need a serious answer out of you Midget,” Rainbow suddenly says.

“Then you best ask me a serious question if you want it answered,” RonI counters, making Motomeru snicker. “Also my name is RonI, not Midget.”

“Whatever, I’ll call you what I want,” Rainbow waved off, making Fluttershy frown at her friend. “Tell me what trick you did to make it seem like you beat those Timber Wolves.”

“I’m sorry what?” RonI said with a frown.

“Don’t play dumb, I know you did some sort of trick to make it seem like you’re strong just like how you’re making that dumb sword talk,” Rainbow said with a cocky smirk as if figuring it out. “I bet it's not even real and is nothing more than a plastic prop puppet and your some sort of ventriloquist or something? It’s the only explanation for a male like you to fake being strong.”

That struck a chord within RonI as his hands twitched and an angry vein formed on his head but he sighed through his nose and calmed down, lest he does something rash. His partner on the other hand...

“A FAKE?! IT’S BAD ENOUGH YOU INSULT ME BUT YOU DARE CALL MY PARTNER’S STRENGTH FAKE?!?!” Motomeru roared in fury as she tried to fly out of her sheath only for RonI to grab her by the handle and stop her. “Let me go RonI! I’ll show this sexist bitch just how fake I am!!”

“Drop it Moto,” RonI says softly, much to his partner’s shock.

“But RonI sh-!”

“Drop it, it's not worth wasting your breath on the ignorant and hard-headed fools like her,” RonI says standing up and walking towards the door but not before looking at Fluttershy. “Miss Shy thank you for bringing us into town but I think I’ll try and figure things out on my own without waiting on more of your friends to get here. I hope you don’t mind and you’ll forgive my rudeness.”

“Oh...I understand and I’m sorry about Rainbow’s behavior,” Fluttershy apologizes.

“Don’t be, you have nothing to apologize for,” RonI says before giving the mare a quick hug making her give a quiet eep in surprise. “I’ll see you later.”

“Ok, stay safe you two,” Fluttershy said sadly hugging back.

“Hey! You haven't answered my question male! Get back here!” Rainbow shouts in annoyance.

Her shouts go ignored as RonI steps out of the room, but not before Motomeru forms a hand with her cloth and gives the cyan mare the middle finger. Once he closes the door, Rainbow scoffs in irritation.

“Piece of shit faker, once I get out of here I’ll hunt him down and beat the answers out of him.” Rainbow growls.

Fluttershy abruptly stands up before stalking over to her fellow pegasus before then slapping her across the face, hard.

“OW! What the buck Shy!?” Rainbow exclaimed before cowering in fear as her friend fixes her with The Stare.

“I hope you're happy Rainbow Dash!” Fluttershy scowls at her friend. “RonI was a good-natured stallion who is lost and confused and you just treat him like he’s a freak of nature!”

“He is a freak Shy! If you saw the shit he pulled in the Everfree you’d be taking my side!” Rainbow shouted back, nursing her cheek from the slap. “Not that it was real or anything, he’s obviously using some sort of trick, I can prove it.”

“Well, perhaps you should go and break your other wing to attract more Timber Wolves again to prove your theory, and frankly, I hope RonI leaves you to get mauled by them,” Fluttershy growls, surprising Dash.

“Y-You don’t mean that do you Shy?” Rainbow asked meekly.

The taller mare crosses her arms under her massive chest and fixes Rainbow with a look. “Does it look like I’m joking? When we run into RonI again you’re apologizing for insulting him as well as thanking him for saving your life, do I make myself clear, Rainbow Dash?”

Rainbow didn’t want to thank that freak for anything but she nodded begrudgingly due to Fluttershy’s stare.

“Good,” Fluttershy said calmly before looking at the door with a sad frown. ‘I hope you are going to be alright RonI, please don’t do anything rash.’

After leaving the hospital, RonI wandered around Ponyville until coming across a park and decided to plop down on a bench by himself under a tree. He didn’t care about the looks he was getting by the park goers, too wrapped up in his own thoughts at the moment.

“That could have gone better than it did,” RonI mumbles.

“Yeah, we should have cut that bitch’s tongue out,” Motomeru growled with her eye narrowed.

“That wouldn’t help our situation at all besides getting us arrested for assault, Moto” He scowls at his partner. “Look I don’t like her either but right now we have to work on our priorities like finding a place to stay and getting a flow of income. I got a feeling we won't be finding out how we got to this world anytime soon.”

“You think this place has a guild of some kind?” Motomeru asked.

“Maybe since they are so close to a forest full of those Timber Wolves and who knows what other kinds of dangerous creatures it may have,” RonI says with a shrug. “We won’t know until we ask but I think we should try and ask the Mayor of this town first.”

“Let's hope they’re nothing like any of these sluts or God forbid that blue cunt dyke,” Motomeru snarled, thinking about Rainbow made her blood boil and she doesn’t even have any.

“Fingers crossed that she is more like Miss Shy,” RonI said hopefully.

“That reminds me...what the hell was that back there?” Motomeru questioned.

“Back where?” RonI asked with a raised brow.

“Don’t play dumb with me RonI, you know exactly what I mean!” Motomeru hissed. “Why did you let that bitch talk about you like that and insult your strength? She has no idea the blood, sweat, and tears you shed to get to where you are now and you just took that lying down! I don’t remember allowing a punk bitch to be my handler!”

“Motomeru...I-” RonI began but was cut off.

“No! I want a straight answer from you! You never let anyone, not even your own flesh and blood, call you weak or say you’re a fake! You wanna know what you do when someone talks that kind of shit with you? You prove them fucking wrong and flex on them of how much of a badass you are and how inferior they are to you and they should worship the ground you walk on!” The sword ranted.

“You’re going a little too far on that partner, tone it down some,” RonI says awkwardly but Motomeru just glared at him with her one eye.

“Then tell me why damnit!” She exclaimed.

“...We’re in a completely different world Moto, therefore there’s gonna be some serious cultural differences that while we may find bizarre and weird is actually normal to them,” RonI explains before noticing a stallion walking by with two mares by his side. “For what I can piece together, it seems the males, of this species at least, are much more dainty and soft meaning they are the lesser sex and is viewed as weaker. That’s the complete opposite of back home on Earth, at least in the early years when women didn’t have a lot of rights and positions of power.”

“Yeah but that crap happened at least four thousand years ago, what’s your point?” Motomeru asked.

“I think the reason this place is so backward compared to us is that the stallions are an endangered species. I mean think about it, since we’ve come to this town I can count on one hand the number of stallions I’ve seen compared to the mares and even then they had at least two or more mares close by like a pack of wolves protecting a pup,” RonI explains. “What I mean to say is...they’re probably not used to someone like me and I have a feeling I’ll do more harm than good if I start acting the way I normally am. Maybe we should just lay low for a while and play it by ear, it’ll bring less attention to us if we do.”

The pair sat in silence for a few moments, neither one of them not wanting to say a word.

“...You’re an idiot, you know that?” Motomeru suddenly declares. “And I mean you’re being more so of one than usual.”

“Gee thanks for the boost in confidence partner, glad to know you have my back,” RonI says sarcastically.

Motomeru then suddenly flies off RonI’s back and lifts his head up with a cloth hand so he can look her in her one eye.

“And I always will have your back and that means I need to tell you when you’re about to go about something the wrong way,” The normally snarky sword says softly. “Look while that may sound like a good idea on paper, you have to realize you’ll be adding more fuel to the fire for the females of this world here. You’re basically saying you’re an easy target to be used and taken advantage of, you and I both know that not all of these mares are going to be kind like Fluttershy and she can’t be around to bail us out of a tight spot.”

RonI mulled over the words of his partner and came to a simple conclusion...she was right. Plus with him technically being an exotic species so mares will be gunning for him.

“Your right Moto I can’t lay back and take it, I’m a warrior through and through so I’m the one that has to be dishing it out,” RonI chuckles before looking at his partner with a smile. “What would I do without you?”

“Probably go along with that stupid plan of yours and get in more trouble than you need too,” Motomeru said with an eye smile before placing herself back on her handler’s back. “So what do you wanna do now? Go try and find the Mayor of this town?”

“We can later, first things first we need to make a trip back to the hospital,” RonI says while standing up to stretch.

“Why?” She asked.

“We need to set things straight with a certain ungrateful blue cunt,” RonI says with a smirk while Motomeru cackled gleefully.

“There’s the RonI I know and love!” She eye grinned. “The one that takes shit from no one and charges into battle with a grin on his face!”

“Jesus woman, you make me sound like a berserker,” The human shakes his head while walking back to the hospital. “Also if I get like that again I want you to punch me in the face as hard as you can.”

“Gladly.”

Just as RonI was about to leave the park he was stopped by two tall mares blocking his path and looking down at him with smirks on their faces.

“Can I help you two?” RonI asks.

“You can keep our bed warm for awhile~” The unicorn mare on the left purred lustfully but was jabbed in the arm playfully by her friend.

“What my friend here means is we want to join the Herd of an adorable exotic creature like yourself,” The earth pony mare on the right said.

‘Gonna have to learn the term of what a Herd is later,’ RonI thinks before answering. “Sorry ladies but I’m new to town so I don’t have a Herd as you put it.”

“Aw you poor thing,” The unicorn gushed as they got closer.

“We’ll teach you everything about Herds,” The earth pony purred.

“No thank you I’m good,” RonI backed up a bit to stay out of their reach. ‘Moto, any ideas to get out of this without causing a scene?’

‘Does that mean we cant slice off their legs?’ Motomeru asked.

‘Moto!’

‘Fine ya kill joy! I say we go with the old bait and hide tactic,’ Motomeru suggested.

‘That’s more like it!’ RonI thinks while charging a bit of energy in his left hand.

“Who said you had a choice?” The earth pony says with a thirsty grin.

“Just come with us willingly and we might not have to use the ropes on you,” The unicorn said with false sweetness while her horn glowed a bit.

“Shinobu Kieru!” He shouts before throwing his hand down causing a plume of smoke to envelope him.

The mares scream in surprise and cough violently, not at all expecting that from the small human male. When they stopped coughing and the smoke cleared, RonI was nowhere to be seen.

“Where did he go?!” The unicorn screeched, looking around wildly.

The earth pony looked around and saw RonI running towards the far end of the park. “There he is, let’s get him!”

The two mares race off in hot pursuit to claim their prize but had they stuck around long enough they would have seen the spot where RonI was standing shimmer before it revealed the said human who was chuckling softly.

“Well its good to know most mares are lust stupid and we can use it against them,” The human says with a snicker before walking towards the hospital. “I told you learning the Nisemono Otori and the Kamereon Bēru would be useful, the same goes for the Shinobu Kieru as well.”

“Alright alright, I’ll admit it was pretty funny to watch those thirsty tramps chase after your double not knowing it wasn’t the real you,” Motomeru giggled in amusement. “How long before they realize it was just an illusion copy?”

Two very loud and very frustrated shrieks rip through the air making other ponies cover their ears or look around in shock.

“Sounds like they just did,” RonI cheekily commented while Motomeru rolled her one eye.

The walk back to the hospital was one in peace.

Once arriving back at the hospital, RonI asked the receptionist if Fluttershy was still in the room with Rainbow Dash and thankfully she was. After a quick walk down the halls, the duo arrived at the door and knocked on it a few times.

“Come in,” The soft voice of Fluttershy called.

“Yo, we're back,” RonI greets as he opens the door and steps into the room, he sees that Fluttershy and Rainbow are the only ones in the room still so their friends haven’t arrived yet.

“Hello RonI, how was your walk?” The butter-yellow pegasus asks sweetly.

Rainbow however just scoffs at the sight of the human and turns away from him.

“It was fine, I needed to get some fresh air, hospitals always seem to make the air stuffy for me,” RonI says, ignoring the cyan pegasus.

“Yeah, makes it hard to think straight,” Motomeru mused knowingly before glancing at Dash and then talking to RonI through their mental link. ‘So how do you plan to get back at Miss Bitchy Blue here?’

‘I have an idea, but first, go float over to Miss Shy and keep her calm for what I’m about to do, okay?’

Motomeru makes a grunt of acknowledgment and floats over to Fluttershy, much to her surprise and Rainbow’s anger.

“Hey, freak! Get your stupid prop away fro-ACK!” Rainbow began but was silenced when RonI grabbed her tightly by her neck, cutting her off.

Fluttershy tried to get up to stop RonI but she was held back by Motomeru’s cloth.

“Don’t worry he’s not going to do anything rash, he’s just making a point,” The sword spoke softly making the mare calm down a bit but still look on worriedly

“Let’s get some things straight Rainbow Dyke,” RonI says with a deathly serious tone. “As of now, I don’t like you at all. You’ve done nothing but belittle me, insult my partner, and you have the gall to say my strength is fake even though you saw me in action when I saved your sorry ass from becoming dog food. Let me ask you, does this feel weak to you?” Rainbow only gagged trying in vain to pull his hand off her neck. “I know many ways to kick your ass without breaking a sweat but I’m not gonna bother because quite frankly you’re not worth it.”

He shoves her back onto the bed letting go of her neck while leaving a slight hand mark on it as the cyan mare gasped for breath.

“You don’t have to like me Rainbow Dash, I frankly don’t give a damn if you or anyone of this world does or doesn't. But I’m warning you now, try and treat me like I’m sort of an inferior species again and I’m gonna make you wish those Timber Wolves finished you off, do I make myself clear?” RonI finishes with a hard look in his eyes.

Rainbow nodded, cowering in fear while holding her neck.

“Good,” RonI nods his head before looking at Fluttershy apologetically. “I’m sorry you had to see that Miss Shy but to get my point across on someone as stubborn as her I needed to get a little rough.”

“It's ok I guess,” Fluttershy said softly, throwing the cyan mare a firm look. “Even though I don't approve of this method, with Rainbow Dash I’ll make an exception due to her attitude.”

“Feel better partner?” Motomeru asked as she returned to RonI’s back.

“Yeah I finally got it out of my system,” RonI sighed as he sat down next to Fluttershy.

“What is this, abuse Rainbow Dash day!?” The cyan pegasus exclaimed.

“Keep harassing my partner and I’ll make it a fucking national holiday!” Motomeru warned with a glare.

“Screw you ya stupid hunk of metal!” The pegasus shouts back.

This dissolves into an argument between the two while Fluttershy chuckles awkwardly and RonI gains a massive sweatdrop

“Miss Shy please tell me your friends are gonna be here soon?” RonI sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose.

“They should be here within a few moments, please hold on a little longer,” The timid pegasus coxes softly.

Right as she says this, there is a swift knock on the door before it opens and four new mares stepped inside, catching everyone’s attention.

The first mare was a unicorn who stood at 5ft 10in with pale lavender fur, purple eyes, dark blue mane and tail with a pink and magenta highlight running down both brushed neatly and had a modest build. She wore what looked like a uniform with a pale blue dress shirt under a dark purple vest, both hugging her double F-Cup breasts, and a matching dress skirt complete with a pair of brown shoes and white knee-high socks. RonI could tell she had brains in spades as well as being powerful with a large amount of energy he was sensing within her.

The second mare was another unicorn but she stood at 6ft 5in with pure white fur, sapphire blue eyes, and deep violet silky mane and tail that naturally curled and bounced as well as having an hourglass figure. She had on a modest amount of makeup only being extra eyelashes and red lipstick on her plump lips. She wore a blouse matching her fur color and showed off a lot of her double H-Cup cleavage, black dress pants that hugged her hips, matching dress shoes, and finishing the attire with a silver necklace with a blue gem and three silver bangles on her left wrist. She had a lady of class air around her but was humble as well. In RonI’s honest opinion she was very beautiful with a body that would make most supermodels back home green with envy.

The third mare was an earth pony, she was 5ft 9in with bright pink fur, sky blue eyes, and a very fluffy magenta mane and tail that could rival RonI’s afro and was a little on the pudgy side. She wore a dark pink shirt with yellow and baby blue striped sleeves that hugged her triple G-Cup bust nicely. Yellow knee-length skirt held up by red suspenders, she had on a pair of pink and white high tops and mismatched blue and yellow socks one was stripped while the other was polka-dots. She had a very bubbly vibe to her like she was on a constant sugar-high and there was something else about her that RonI couldn’t really get a read on.

The fourth and final mare was easily the tallest of the four even taller then Fluttershy clocking in at 7ft 2in with amber-orange fur, sandy blonde mane, and tail with a red hair tie at the end of both, and forest green eyes, She wore a brown stetson on her head, red flannel button-up shirt tied together showing off her double I-cup breasts and rock hard six-pack. Blue jean short shorts held secured by a brown belt with an oval buckle that had the image of a trio of apples, and a pair of well worn brown cowboy boots. RonI could tell she is a hard worker and not someone you want to screw around with how buff she is, especially her powerful legs. Of course, those white freckles did make her cute.

“Hello Fluttershy, sorry if we kept you and Rainbow Dash waiting,” The purple unicorn said apologetically.

“Oh no, you didn’t Twilight,” Fluttershy assured softly. “I’m glad you’re all here though, I have someone I’d like you girls to meet.”

“Ohohohohoh! I love meeting new ponies, where are they?!” The pink mare exclaimed excitedly.

“While we’re at, mind telling us what this new critter next to you is Shy?” The cowgirl pony asks while pointing at RonI. “Is it some sort of exotic dress up animal you found or what?”

“Excuse me, bitch?” RonI says with a glare, making the four newcomers look at him in shock. “I know you did not just call me a pet?”

“IT TALKS!?!” The cowpony exclaimed in shock.

“Keep insulting me and I’m gonna do much more than just talk lady,” RonI growls, cracking his knuckles threateningly.

“Scary little freak isn’t it?”Rainbow chuckles but shuts up when Fluttershy levels a glare at her.

“You’re really asking me to let Motomeru fly right through your thick skull aren’t you?” The human deadpans at the cyan mare.

“Please, continue talking more shit so he’ll let me do that,” Said sword threatened while pulling herself a little out of her sheath to imply it. “And I would do it with a smile on my face.”

“A sentient sword!” The purple unicorn exclaims with glee before zipping over to Motomeru with stars in her eyes. “I always thought they were nothing myths or in fantasy novels but here you are in the flesh, er, steel I mean!”

“Uhhh...thank you I guess?” Motomeru said awkwardly, not used to being complimented by strangers.

RonI chuckled at this before speaking. “Before you go, start picking my partner, you lot care to introduce yourselves?”

“Oh right,” The purple unicorn blushed sheepishly. “I'm Twilight Sparkle, I run the local Golden Oaks Library here in Ponyville.”

“Nice to meet you, Miss Sparkle,” RonI smiles. “I wouldn’t mind stopping by for a good book sometimes.”

“My doors are open for everyone,” Twilight says with a smile.

Next the pink earth pony bounced in front of him, her boobs bouncing wildly as she did making RonI blush.

“Hi, my name is Pinkie Pie! I’m Ponyville’s resident party planner! Do you like parties? When’s your birthday? What's your favorite type of cake? Why are you small? You want to be Friends?” Pinkie spouted off in one breath.

RonI and Motomeru both had to blink rapidly, not at all prepared for the rapid-fire tongue that is Pinkie Pie.

“Uh...I do like parties, my birthday is June 15, I like various types of cake so I don’t have a favorite, my height is the result of genetics, and I wouldn’t mind being friends with you so long as you treat me like an equal,” RonI answers.

“YAY!” Pinkie cheered before snatching RonI up in a very tight hug causing his face to get smothered by the party mare’s large bust. “I can’t wait to throw you a welcome to Ponyville party!”

“MMMPH!” RonI muffles out.

“Pinkie darling, I think he needs to breathe,” the white mare pointed out.

“Huh? Oh, oopsie,” Pinkie giggled sheepishly letting RonI go, causing him to fall on his ass and gasping for air. “Sorry little guy.”

“Jezz woman you can kill a man with those things,” RonI gasps while Motomeru pats his back.

“You and I both know it's not a bad way to go really,” Motomeru teased.

“Quiet you,” RonI sternly says.

“Pinkie tends to get excited whenever there is anypony new,” The white mare mused as her horn glowed the same color as her eyes before RonI was covered in the aura and levitated back into his seat. “I am Rarity Belle darling, the resident fashionista and the owner of Carousel Boutique. If you ever need clothing of any kind, I’m your mare.”

“I may take you up on that sometime Lady Rarity,” RonI smiled gently taking her hand and kissing it.

“My such a gentlecolt,” Rarity giggled.

“You wouldn’t be saying that if you met him first like me,” Rainbow grouched.

“Maybe if you didn’t continue to insult me for no reason, especially when I saved your like from getting eaten by Timber Wolves,” RonI counters, catching the orange mare’s attention.

“Wait, you saved her life?” The farm pony said with a look. “Yer sure it wasn’t the other way around?”

“Oh come on, not this shit again!” Motomeru groaned while RonI rolled his eyes.

“Yes I saved her life, I don’t see how hard to believe Miss…” RonI said surely

“Applejack, I run Sweet Apple Acres with my family,” The farm pony introduces herself. “And like I said, I don’t believe you, a male, could actually save Dash here from Timber Wolves, let along fight them off by yourself.”

“I honestly don’t give a damn what you believe, clearly you’re just as much of an idiot as Cash & Burn here,” RonI drawls jabbing a thumb at the cyan tomboy.

The girls, even Fluttershy and Rainbow, gasped in shock as a male had just openly insulted Applejack in her face. The last time somepony did that they woke up several months later from a coma and with a boot-shaped indent in their head.

The mare in question was looking at RonI with narrowed eyes. “You best apologize to me right now if you know what’s good for you, I don’t like being insulted especially by a spoiled male like you.”

“Awww want’s wrong? The redneck bimbo can’t handle a whittle bit of name calling?” Motomeru mockingly cooed as Applejack snorted like a bull.

“Applejack dear, please calm down they didn’t mean it,” Rarity spoke soothingly.

“Oh we mean it,” RonI spoke up, making the fashionista look at him like he was crazy. “Also who the fuck gives you the right to call me spoiled? I didn’t have things given to me on a silver platter, I had to work my ass off through blood, sweat, and tears to get where I am today. I don’t know how stallions are here in this world and frankly, I don’t give a rats ass so the next time you wanna call someone spoiled I suggest you learn more about them before you start pointing fingers.”

“Or you can continue to be a brain dead hillbilly and we’ll just stomp your ass into the ground,” Motomeru comments cheekily with RonI shrugging helplessly.

“That too.”

Applejack had enough and was about to kick this, in her eyes, disrespectful midget to the moon with RonI preparing to defend himself seeing the hostile actions the orange mare was about to pull.

“ENOUGH!” Twilight suddenly roared, her magic flaring and holding Applejack and RonI both in place in violet auras and pushing them away. “We’re not here to cause a fight in the hospital but to help somepony who lost their way and get them home! Applejack as an Element of Harmony and the one who represents Honesty I expected better from you!”

“I am being honest Twi and those varmints need to learn some manners!” Applejack shouts while glaring at RonI and his sword.

RonI and Motomeru respond by giving the farm pony blank looks while simultaneously flipping her the bird, earning a shocked gasp out of Rarity and giggling snort from Pinkie.

“Regardless, your attitude towards males, in general, is completely unacceptable! Would you act this way if we were asked to meet a male diplomat from another country or Faust forbid a male ruler?” Twilight lectured making the farm pony growl but look away. “That’s what I thought, now stop it and calm down.”

Twilight then turns her attention towards RonI and Motomeru. “As for you two, I know you’re both probably very confused and lost right now but I want you to promise me to not go and instigate a conflict just for the heck of it. Can you do that for me?”

“Hmmm, I think we can manage that,” RonI nods before glancing over his shoulder at Motomeru. “What do you think, partner?”

“Fine, but if they try and start something we have the right to defend ourselves as we see fit!” The sword grouched.

The purple Unicorn nods in agreement before letting RonI and Applejack out of their respective magic holds with the farm pony marching to the other side of the room next to Rainbow and leaning against the wall glaring at RonI all the way. Twilight sighs before looking outside and seeing the sun setting.

“Look, it’s getting late and we’re all pretty stressed out and tired. Maybe we should pick this up at a later date when Rainbow is out of the hospital and we can all sit down and relax more comfortably,” Twilight suggested.

“Alright but I don’t really have anywhere to stay and I can’t rent a hotel since I don’t have your world's money,” RonI says scratching the back of his head.

“Guess we can camp out,” Motomeru suggested. “Not like we haven’t done that before.”

“No you won't, you can bunk with me at Sugar Cube corner!” Pinkie exclaimed excitedly much to everyone's shock.

“Are you sure Miss Cake will be okay with that?” Twilight asked in concern.

“Well duh she’d be more than happy for some extra company! It’s only the two of us living there and we do have an extra bedroom that's not being occupied already prepped so it's perfect!” Pinkie says.

“It would probably be for the best,” Fluttershy speaks up. “My home is currently packed with sick or injured animals and I couldn't ask RonI to sleep in someplace so crowded. I think this will be the best option.”

“You do have a point darling,” Rarity hums. “I would let him stay at the boutique but Sweetie is staying over and I simply don’t have any space for him.”

“Well I do have an extra room at the library but it's currently being used as a storage room,” Twilight said sheepishly.

“No way am I letting you sleep at my house,” Rainbow scowled harshly. “Besides you're not a pegasus so you can’t walk on clouds.”

‘Didn’t your father teach you how to walk on clouds a couple of months back?’ Motomeru questioned.

‘Yeah but that’s only temporary and mostly used for combat,’ RonI thinks back before answering out loud. “I think I’ll go with your offer Pinkie Pie.”

“Yay! You won’t regret it, little guy!” Pinkie chirped happily.

“My name is RonI by the way,” RonI added.

“Well RonI we’ll meet tomorrow after lunch at the library when Rainbow is released, I hope that's okay?” Twilight asked.

“That’s fine Miss Sparkle,” RonI smiled before standing up. “Well, I wish you, three ladies, a good night,” He says referring to Twilight, Rarity, and Fluttershy.

He then looks at Rainbow and Applejack. “As for you two...I hope we can get along better tomorrow with cooler heads after a good night's sleep, see ya.” RonI then follows behind Pinkie Pie out of the room, leaving the five mares in the room with three smiling and two shocked.

“Well, it seems he wants to make peace with you both despite how rude you both were,” Rarity comments.

Applejack just scoffs, getting off the wall and marching towards the door. “It’ll take more than a few pretty words for me to forgive him let alone trust him, I’ll see y’all tomorrow.”

With the farm mare gone, Twilight and Rarity took their leave while giving Rainbow Dash some goodbyes with Fluttershy lingering behind. Once she was sure they were along, the butter-yellow mare walks over to her cyan counterpart and pulls her into a gentle but firm hug which Rainbow, while surprised, returns it.

“I’m sorry I smacked you Dashie but you have to understand why I did it,” She says softly before breaking the hug to look her in the eyes. “RonI saved your life and yet you insult and ridiculed him every chance you got just for the simple fact he is a male. He lost in a land not his own and he could have left you to die by those Timber Wolves but he didn’t, he selflessly rescued you from danger and...I have a feeling you are very grateful to him doing that but your pegasus pride and those stupid teachings of the SPC won’t allow you to admit it.”

Rainbow Dash winced at her friend’s words but didn’t say anything and looked away shamefully, while Fluttershy just patted her friend’s shoulder in comfort.

“I know it's hard to forget those teachings after they were taught to you when you were just a filly but you’ll have to change one way or another Dashie, especially with how you interact with RonI, you’re letting them control your actions and emotions,” Fluttershy softly soothed. “I honestly want you both, Applejack as well, to get along with each other and not be at each other's throats over one thing or another so...please think about it, ok?”

Fluttershy tenderly kisses Rainbow on the forehead before she walks out leaving the cyan mare alone with her own thoughts. She had a lot to think about regarding the young human male.

“Buck me...why do things always have to be complicated?” The Element of Loyalty sighed, flopping back onto her bed. “Hopefully, things will make a lot more senes tomorrow, they can’t get any worse as they have today right?”

Famous last words Rainbow Dash, famous last words.
