Life is funny, ya know?

One minute you're doing normal everyday things as a human. Going to work. Having a drink after said work. Though in Anon's case he really did kind of just wander through his existence. Didn’t have many friends nor was he close to his family. He was simply…there at times. Maybe that is why when his life was uprooted suddenly it didn’t really bother him that much.

While sitting laid back in his chair, the fireplace roaring beside him, his thoughts still weren’t of home or his life before all of this. Anon had found himself in a land of magic…and colorful pony. Quite literally colorful. Anon had landed via a surge of magic that Twilight explained as a once in a lifetime event. For the following weeks, he was Twilight and Starlight's subject of interest. They basically study him while he adapted to pony culture.

Twilight tries to explain to Anon that going back would be…challenging, giving the barriers between worlds, at least that's the gist of what he got from her complex explanation about magic and dimensional barriers. You'd think this would cause him to feel depressed or anxious, but, really he didn’t feel that for some reason.

The ponies were sweet, at least Twilight’s friends were. Rarity found him to be a delight. A new challenge for her fashion designs. Though that first taking of measurements was a culture shock. Let's just say he lost some dignity as a man that day. Still, he appreciated all Rarity did because now he had a whole closet that was full of clothes that he could wear. He was wearing something she designed. A full suit. A red button shirt with a black jacket and black pants. A little too fancy for his taste, but, Rarity refused to take no for an answer after hearing what he was doing tonight.

On that subject he turned his head. He was seated on a velvet sitting chair. Turning his head to look at her. Princess Celestia. She was seated at her desk working tirelessly on some document for the kingdom. She was beautiful. The soft snow-like fur that covered her body. The long flowing mane of rainbow that shines even in this light. The cutting yet beautiful eyes that study the documents but find themselves meeting Anon’s gaze. He cleared his throat, looking away, trying to pretend that didn’t just happen.

Celestia had asked him on a date. She did it pretty boldly, he might add. Right in front of Twilight on their very first meeting. Twilight fainted. It was kind of funny. He thought it was a joke at first, or maybe this was her weird way of testing the new creature to her realm. She was basically a goddess. Divine magical power and she was nearly twice the size of a normal pony. She was bigger than Anon. (It was kind of hot).

He awkwardly said yes. Thinking turning down one of the goddesses of this world was a bad idea, and…he hasn’t been on a date for years. They agreed to dinner at the palace. Which gave him time to prepare for the evening. Twilight wasn’t a lot of help. She was worrying more than anything else. The rest of the gang was a little better off.

Applejack told him to be honest. Telling him if this date didn’t go well or he wasn’t feeling like being with her, it was ok to let her down. Rarity went through ten outfits for Anon before he could even walk out of his room. Rainbow Dash was trying to build some confidence before the date…he didn't do much of that to go around. Basically telling him that this was the first time Celestia had EVER asked anyone out on a date. That she had turned down suitor after suitor that came to the kingdom.

Anon didn’t know if that made things worse or better. Dinner was nice. They had some small talk. Nothing huge, but, Anon understood why every pony loved her so much. She was down to earth even though she was immortal and more powerful than the sun. She was surprisingly humble. After dinner, she asked Anon if he wanted to stay a little longer and spend time with her in her study. She had a few bits of paperwork that still needed to be done. He didn’t really mind the wait.

That is where everything was right now. He was staring back at the flames dancing in the fireplace. Everything was starting to catch up to him. All of his feelings were at least. A thousand thoughts racing in his head. Why did she ask him on this date? Did she actually have feelings for him? Was he even going to stay here? Did he want to go back home? Could he even have feelings for her if that was actually the case?

He didn’t even know what love was. He never found romance in the other world. It never happened to him. Not even a spark or two. He found some women…and men attractive, but it never did lead anywhere, or sometimes he was too scared to act on his feelings. Was that it? Was ot just feeling regret at the moment? His life was less complicated when he wasn’t being swooned by an actually immortal goddess.

“All done.” She announced. The words and her song-like voice broke through the sea of thoughts he was drowning in.

Turning back to her. She was already floating off the pieces of her jewel from her body. Shaking her mane free from the crown. He was stunned by her. She was almost like a painting in this lighting. He found himself on his feet when she walked up to him. A tilt of her head and curious expression met him.

“Umm…” Suddenly he was embarrassed; he didn't know why. His face turned red. She giggled at him as a single leg lifted and pulled him close to her chest. His face was now in soft…wonderful fur. Ooh, she was warm to touch. Her scent was soft but filled his brain quickly. It was fruity with a hint of cinnamon. He could fall asleep like this. He lost himself for a second before shaking his head.

“Sorry, I'm um…not used to this.” He explained, lifting his head from her chest.

He was met with another warm laugh. “Why don't we sit by the fire? I would love to talk more before you go. If you don’t mind.”

“S-sure.” He cleared his throat and calmed himself. Taking a seat back on a sitting chair. She laid down next to him. Both of them faced fire.

“So….” He needed to know. “Why did you ask me out? I heard…you had a lot of suitors. Surely there are some pony out there that you could be with. I am a bit of an odd choice, don’t you think?”

She gave him a side glare. “Ooo do you think you know better than me? A being that has been around for eons.” She questioned.

“Um….” Sweat pooled down his cheek.

She couldn’t hold it in as she laughed. “I am joking…it’s simple, really. I felt a spark. Didn’t you? I am not sure about your kind, but, we pony just…know when we fall for someone. When I locked eyes on you, I could feel it. Perhaps it is my age…I didn’t want to beat around the bush and someone else feel that spark. None of the other suitors have come close to that spark. Of course, sometimes it doesn’t work out and…you will spark for someone else down the road. Do you humans not have that?”

“N-not really, we kind of just have to figure it out.” He was hoping that answer wasn’t too bad. She did look disappointed by his answer.

“It’s not that I can’t feel that for you, but, it takes time for us Humans and….I've never done anything like this before. I am not sure what it even feels like, to be honest.” He felt Applejack talking through him on this one.

“Well, would you like to try?” She asked next, looking into his eyes. They sparkled in the fire light.

Anon's heart raced. “I…I think that would be nice.”
