Ponies of the New Dawn: Story 2

Chapter 4: A Newcomer Arrives…

Me and S’mores were in the kitchen preparing a meal for all of us. But was distracted when Alex came into the room.

“Quinn you might want to see this,” Alex said as he stepped in front of me. “What is it Alex?”, I asked, feeling concerned since his tone said that something was up. “Just come with me to the window by the front door,” I followed Alex as he led me to the window. Alex pulled back the curtain just a tad so that we both could look outside.

The snow was still there but due to some recent warmth from the south blowing in, it was starting to melt even though it was the beginning of February. “So, what is it that you wanted to show me?” I asked. “Just keep looking, you’ll find out what it is when you see it,” For about a minute, Alex and I kept watching out the window for anything that Alex had supposedly seen outside.

Just when I was about to leave, a teal-colored pegasus with a long light grey and white mane landed in the yard softly looking very curious and confused at the same time. I was speechless as to why there was another pony here in our world. I could tell that it was a mare judging by its build and its height and that she was older than S’mores.

“See, I told you that you’re gonna want to see this,” Alex said to me as he looked at the winged equine. “H...How did another get into our world?” I asked, quite shocked at the situation. Alex said that he was as stumped as I was but gave a prediction that the portal that S’mores came through could still be open.

Alex and I began to discuss how to approach the pegasus without scaring her off.

Alex suggested calling out for it to come over to us and inviting her inside. I have an idea that in cases that plan didn’t work, one of us would go after her to calm her down enough to where she feels safe around us. Alex agreed and stated that if it came to that, we needed to make sure nobody saw her since we don’t need the cops all over our asses looking for her and S’mores.

Alex got up from kneeling down and went to put on his shoes and coat while I went into the kitchen and grabbed some food for Alex to give the mare outside since I wanted to stay back with S’mores and explain to her what was outside. “I’m going to go out the back door and sneak around towards the front so that I don’t scare her off,” Alex explained as he took the apple from my hand and walked over to the back door.

As he left to get the mare, I went back into the kitchen to get S’mores and to explain what was going on. But she wasn’t there anymore. So I decided to look in my bedroom and as I entered my room to my surprise, I found the filly in question cuddling with one of the pillows as she rubbed her filly parts against the bedsheets. S’mores notices me standing in the entryway and ceased her self pleasuring.

“Oops, I’ll let you finish up S’mores,” I said as I shut the curtain behind me. Instead of finishing up, she lets go of the pillow and hops off of the bed. She opens the curtain and as I look down at her, she had probably the cutest blush that I had ever seen on her face since she knew that she was caught in the act. “Please don’t be mad at me Quinn,” she pleaded with both a cute-looking blush and puppy dog eyes.

“Why would I be mad at you S’morse butt?” I asked, “I'm not mad at you for doing something that is completely normal for someone your age.” She looked very relieved when I told her that I wasn’t mad at her. “Well, if you’re wondering why I was getting myself off Quinn,” S’mores stopped for a moment before speaking up, “I was thinking about me and you together and how your hands would feel being all over me down there.”

Now it was my turn to blush. She did explain afterward that she knew that she was too young for me to breed with her but that she could wait till she got older so that she and I could play hide the bone. “Well I'm glad to hear that you understand that I want to wait until you’re older so that we can do what you want me to you, but, if you must get yourself off, could you please use the stuff in the box under the bed next time sweetie,” I explained.

“You have Toys,” She asked.

“Um yeah, they were my wives, and some reason she left them here…”

S’mores blushed even harder when I brought up about using the ‘toys’ under the bed. I told S’mores about what Alex had to show me and she was filled with both concern and delight.

“But, how did another pony like me get to your guy's world?” she asked out of confusion. I told her that Alex and I didn’t really know but that Alex had a theory about there maybe being a portal between Equis and our world and also that the fact that I thought about there being some unicorn or alicorn magic still lingering in different parts of our world. I brought up to S’mores that there is no magic here in our world to which she started to freak the fuck out.

After what seemed like an hour, I managed to calm down S’mores to the point where she wasn’t like Twilight Sparkle after the school of friendship was closed down. It took me a while since she was scared shitless about being told about there being no magic in our world but she calmed down after I explained that there has to be at least some here on earth from Equestria or other parts of Equis since she had to of arrived here from some form of portal somehow.

She gave a sigh of relief knowing that there must be some form of magic in our world and since I told her that Alex and I have been discussing what to do to get some magic lingering in the air or something like that. S’mores rubbed her chin in thought for a few short moments before finally speaking again.

“Hey, since humans use a lot of electricity, maybe there could be a way for you guys to convert it into magic,” S’mores explained like a smart school pony. I told her that that sounds like a very interesting idea and also that Alex and I had talked about that idea over for a while since last week and how we could do it but it would be very difficult to do since neither of us has any experience with electrical work of any sorts. After that, I changed the subject to talk to S’mores about what Alex had to show me earlier.

*******************

Alex still hadn’t come back inside which said that he was still dealing with the pegasus outside. While I looked out the window looking at Alex, S’mores stayed on the couch watching me as I looked outside to spot Alex. I then saw him come out from the garage with the said pony who seemed to be fairly calm as she walked next to Alex towards the house.

I turned back towards S’mores and told her that Alex is coming inside with the pony just as they were coming up toward the front door. S’mores hopped down from the couch that she was sitting on and made her way over to me just as the door began to open.

The first to come inside was none other than the Pegasus herself who looked up at me with a look on her face that said that she was uncertain about being here in my house but as she looked down and saw S’mores, that look went all the way out the door. The teal-colored pegasi got down to eye level with S’mores and moved close to her. “Alex sure wasn’t lying when he said that there was another pony here,” the pegasus said as she looked at the said pony.

I moved out of the way so that the older pony could sit next to S’mores and also let Alex inside since he gestured for me to move out of the way since he couldn’t get in due to me blocking the doorway. When he got inside, he closed the door behind him blocking the cold winter air from entering the house.

The older pony looked around the house with her mouth formed into an ‘o’ as she looked around. “My, this place seems quiet,” the pegasus cleared her throat, “nice and comfortable.” Alex went up to her after he took off his sneakers and coat and kneeled down right next to her. “I hope you like it here Snow Melody,” he said to her as she looked around the room.

Her gaze stopped upon the TV and the equipment that was set up and she asked us what they were. Alex and I were about to explain right when S’mores stepped up to explain what they were. She informed Snow Melody about what the TV was and what it is, about the other stuff that was plugged into it, and went over how it worked and what it was used for.

I was a little stunned and so was Alex when the filly managed to explain all that to someone older than her like that. Snow Melody was now even more intrigued about the technology in the house and asked if she could see if she could get a taste of them. Alex decided to start out small so he sat down on the couch and had the winged equine sit next to him.
“Here”, he said as he pulled out his smartphone, “let me show you some of the function of this piece of human tech,” While Alex showed Snow Melody his Smartphone, S'mores and I went into the kitchen to get a quick snack.

*****

“Sweet Celestia,” said Snow Melody, “So you're telling that you can play this game with millions of other humans around the world and with just the press of a button.” The pegasus was amazed by how possible it was to be able to meet many other humans around the world without having to travel around the globe just to meet them.

Alex showed her some of the games on his Xbox and explained to her about how to play them and also about some other stuff that I paid no attention to since S'mores and I went into our room to get out some blankets and pillows for the new pony here so that she could sleep comfortably tonight.

I figured that she would be sleeping in Alex's room since the living room tends to get freezing cold at night around winter even though it's warming up outside. S'mores pulled out a few blankets using her teeth while I took out a couple of blankets that I had since my teen years.

“I should wash all of these before giving them to Snow Melody since it's been years since I last washed them,” I said as I took a sniff at one of the blankets that I was carrying. S'mores did the same then spat out the pillow that she was carrying. She agreed with me that they needed to be washed and went to get some laundry detergent from the cabinet above the washer and dryer.

“Um Quinn, a little help,” she asked after she attempted to hop up onto the washer to get to the cabinet. I walked over to her and placed her on the dryer then got the laundry soap myself. I had the brown and white filly hold onto the bottle while I went back into my room to fetch the blankets and pillows that I was gonna have Snow Melody use for when she goes to bed later tonight and for pretty much every night afterward.

After I had gotten the blankets and pillows for Snow Melody washed and dried off, I went into Alex's room to put them on his bed. His room was mostly clean save for the desk that he moved into here which was a bit disorganized with an HD TV on it with a few other consoles of his plugged into it.

There was also some papers covering the desk which upon inspection, were written guitar chords for songs that he was practicing on his acoustic, some drawings that he made, a list of things that he was wanting to do in some of the games that he played on the consoles in here, and an unfinished drawing that he was making based on the game Just Cause 4.

I also got a good look at a photo that had him and his sister when they were around five or six and his parents on it as well. I remember Alex telling me about a month after we first became friends that his mom and dad separated when he was only twelve and about a year later after we became friends, they got divorced.
He told me that ever since that day when he was twelve, he has had some emotional problems that he still has somewhat of to this day. Turning my gaze away from my best friend’s family portrait, I find S’mores snooping around inside of Alex’s closet which she’s not supposed to be doing while we’re in his room. “What do you think you’re doing in there you sneaky little filly,” I said to S’mores as I walked over to her so I could find out why she was in Alex’s closet.

I bent down to investigate what she was doing and she looks back at me with a cookie in her mouth. The filly in question had a look that said that she knew what she was doing and didn’t look the least bit guilty at what she had done. “Now where did you get that?” I asked and to which she directed my attention to a black trash bag that she had ripped open and I could see a few cookies on the carpet.

Looking inside the bag, I found quite a stash of snacks including the cookies that S’mores had found alongside bags of chips, beef jerky, packets of ramen noodles, and many other packages of food that were in the sack. “Jesus, how long did Alex have this for,” I asked myself out of confusion as to why Alex had a junk food stash in his closet.

Upon further inspection, all of the food except for the package of chips ahoy that S’mores got into were sealed shut and could still be fresh and good to eat. I also came across a note that read the following, “use only in case of emergencies or during a special occasion.” After reading the note, I turned back to S’mores to see that she was still enjoying the treats that she had gotten into.

“I think we should get out of Alex’s room before he comes in here to find us inside of his closet,” I said to the filly who had stuffed at least two cookies into her mouth. Leaving Alex’s room, I could hear the sound of singing and a cheering crowd coming from within the living room. Wondering what band Alex was showing Snow Melody, I walked into the living room to see that the two of them were watching a concert from 1985 with the band Queen playing the song ‘Hammer To Fall’.

Snow Melody took notice of me and asked if I wanted to sit down and watch the video with her and Alex. “I’d love to but I need to get something done right now so that you can feel right at home tonight,” I said to the pegasus. She nodded and gave me a thank you for being so nice to her and one to Alex as well.

Leaving the living room, I found S’mores in the kitchen drinking an entire bottle of Mountain Dew. “Oh for the love of,” I said to myself out of dissatisfaction as S’mores had already eaten around 10 cookies while we were in Alex's room and now a soda heavy with caffeine, she's gonna end up like pinkie pie for sure…
