Unexpected Arrival

By: Wolf

Chapter 1

    It was a long day for our protagonist, another horrible day at work. Another depressing walk home. He nearly got mugged... Again... But that’s just his typical day in the metropolis he lives in. He reaches his run down apartment, grabs his mail, walks up to his room. To discover he got robbed... Again... He lets out an exasperated sigh.

    “Why is it always me?” He asks to no one in particular. As he sits down and looks through his letters. “Junk, Junk, Bills...” He mutters as he looks through his mail. But he then sees a black rimmed letter. He opens the letter and reads it. It says his wonderful daughter died in a shooting. At the bottom of the letter, it says ‘Don’t come to the funeral.’ Signed by his Ex.

    “That bitch...” He mutters. “Oh what’s the point, my life is over...” The statement was surprisingly true, he had no friends, his job was horrible, he could barely pay for the crummy apartment, the last of his ‘family’ died. He had nothing. He walked up to the roof, even though it was raining. He stood on the roof, the winds roaring. He just wished he could just go somewhere else. He looked over the ledge and sighed. He couldn’t jump. But fate had other plans. A bolt of lightning hit him right on the back. He was blasted off the roof. And he hit the hard ground 10 stories below.

~-<>-~

    He woke up in a strange forest. Trees, animals, plants all around. He was wearing a torn shirt and remembered nothing.

    “Where am I,” He wondered aloud. “and why can’t i remember anything?”

    He aimlessly wandered around the woods. He stumbled upon a small furry creature. It was curled up in the fetal position, looking like it was going to die. It was getting dark so he decided to take the strange creature. It looked like a canine, but it had... wings? He examined it more closely, It was a winged wolf. It had little red markings on its wings. It looked like it was only a weeks old. The poor thing was helpless. He picked it up and held it to his chest. It snuggled closer to your body, trying to get warmer.

    He started to get cold himself, so he decided to start walking. He stopped in his tracks when he saw multicolored equines. One was cyan and had a rainbow mane, it was wearing a pendant with butterflies on it. The other was yellow with a pink mane, it was wearing a pendant with a cloud that had a rainbow lightning bolt. The yellow one was carrying a little foal with a yellow coat and a rainbow mane. He was about to walk over to them, but then the yellow and pink one spoke.

    “Oh look Dashie, what is that thing?” She said.

    “I don’t know Flutters...” The blue one, now known as ‘Dashie’ responded in a protective voice.

    “You talk?!” The human blurted out. Even though he lost his memory, he was still pretty sure that ponies don’t talk.

    “Well duh, we’re ponies, of course we talk! Right Fluttershy?” Dash replied.

    “Rainbow Dash, ponies might not talk where it comes from.” Fluttershy responded.

    “I’m a ‘he.’” The human responded, fairly sure he was a male.

    “Oh really, well what’s your name mister?” Fluttershy asked.

    “I don’t remember.” He responded.

    “Well, we’ll call you ‘Wolf.’” Dash responded.

    “Why?” Wolf asked.

    “Because of your cutie mark.” She responded.

    “My what?” Wolf asked.

    “The mark on your... shoulder?” She responded, pointing to his shoulder.

    “What the-!?” He exclaimed, he didn’t remember having that mark when he got here.

    “What’s that thing you’re carrying?” Fluttershy asked.

    “I don’t know...” Wolf responded.

    “Well it’s so adorable!” She squee’d.

    She grabbed the winged wolf from Wolf’s protective grasp. It struggled momentarily but eventually settled into Fluttershy’s forelegs. Wolf was pretty freaked out at this point.

‘Talking ponies, what the hell?!’  He thought.

But he stayed because he didn’t want to abandon the little pup he found.

“So... Why are you here?” He asked

“Me, Dashie, and our foal; Spectra, are on a camping trip.” She replied.

“Wait wait wait... You two are females, how did you have a foal?” Wolf asked.

“Magic.” They both replied.

“Magic?” Wolf asked.

“Yes... Magic... Do you have magic where you come from?” Fluttershy asked.

“Err... I don’t think so...” Wolf replied.

“What!? Aww that must suck! Well, welcome to Equestria!” Dash exclaimed.

“Ok...” Wolf muttered.

“Well, it’s getting dark. We should set up camp.” Fluttershy stated.

“Fine by me.” Dash agreed.

“Same, what should we all do to set up camp?” Wolf asked.

“Well, I’ll put the babies to sleep, you can set up the tent, and Dash can gather some firewood.” Fluttershy explained.

So the group started to set up camp. Wolf set up the tent and put Spectra and the pup to sleep while Dash gathered tinder. Once the task was complete, Wolf started the camp fire as the moon rose into the sky.

“Princess Luna did a great job with the sky tonight.”

“What?!” Wolf exclaimed.

“Oh, right. Princess Celestia and Luna control the sun and the moon.” Fluttershy explained.

Wolf was confused on the concept of magic. But he let it slide. After a long night of telling ghost stories and making smores. The three went back into the tent. Spectra and the pup were snuggling together. (Can I get some art for this?)

“D’awww!” The three exclaimed.

“I think i got diabetes, because that’s so sweet!” Fluttershy exclaimed.

“Cuteness aside, i’m going to get some sleep. G’night Flutters, Wolf.” Dash muttered as she drifted off into sleep.

“I’ll get to bed to.” Fluttershy said as she laid down on Rainbow Dash, using her as a pillow.

“I guess I’ll get to bed to...” Wolf muttered. He went to the side of the small tent and drifted off into sleep...
