The Wild Card Of Harmony
Meeting the Kind Caretaker!
Previous ChapterNext Chapter“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
“Ah...my fucking ears” Our grey furred stallion protagonist groaned out under the screaming of the yellow cream color Pegasus Mare with long print pink hair as she jumped up in fright up into the branches above them as he stayed there hanging in the tangle mess of vines, unable to nurse is lightly ringing ears.
The scream died down to whimpers as the mare’s body shook in fear along with the branch she was clinging onto as if it was her only source of survival.
The stallion glanced up at the shivering Pegasus before looking back down to see a white bunny looking from the mare to him as the two looked at each other with the bunny actually shrugging in response to their silent communication.
Okay, So I guess bunnies are smarter or this is a special one? Honestly, anything’s better then those wooden wolves... the stallion thought to himself before looking back up at the Mare.
“Um...” she stopped her shivering and opened her eyes at hearing him starting to speak “sorry about scaring you miss but uh...you mind...helping me out of this?’ She looked back down at him during his talking before gasping in shock at getting a proper look at his situation.
“Oh my goodness!” She exclaimed...in a normal volume voice before she quickly flew back down as her fear was quickly replaced with worry “I’m so sorry, I was so scared that a monster jumped out. Don’t worry I’ll get you out of these things” she said as she starts flying around the stallion to work on the vines.
“Thank you so much miss...” He replied with a small smile before wincing and lets out a small his from her hooves pressing against his body a few times “just be careful please? That landing of mine through the trees kinda made me-“
*CRACK* *SNAP* *SNAP* *SNAP*
He was cut off as the branches above holding the vines broke off from the disturbance as they fell on top of him while the stallion himself landed face first on the dirt below “-sore...” he muffled out a whimper of pain.
“*gasp* oh no!” The Pegasus Mare exclaimed before landing on the ground next to the stallion and helps him onto his hooves while pulling off the vines now limp on his body “are you okay?”
“Apart from a pain across my body and other unmentionables? Just peachy...” he groaned out before hearing squeaking and looks down to see the same bunny on its back, clutching its stomach while swinging side to side as if it was laughing Oh great, a little rabbit is laughing at me. Well, I guess I can add in my pride to my list of injuries he thought with a frown and glare at the small animal.
The Pegasus mare’s worry grew as she was able to get a proper look at him now without the vines. Leaves and twigs covering and sticking out of his mane and tail, multiple cuts on his body and leg some even leaked blood! A large purple bruise on his upper ares of his front right hind leg, which is evident by the shaking of the leg to maintain pressure. But the worse she sees is his wings that are NOT supposed to bending that way!
“Oh dear! You’re hurt! Come with my, my cottage is just up ahead and I’ll treat your wounds the best I can” she said trotting up ahead of him a short distance away.
Normally he would be skeptical or hesitant to follow this Mare. But A, she decided to help him instead of fleeing even when she was jump-scared and B, he didn’t really had much of a choice or other options since he could and was NOT gonna try fixing himself with his now Equine body that he barely mastered himself. “Lead the way” he replied with a nod before following behind the Mare with a much slower pace due attempting giving his injured leg less pressure then the other ones. Luckily the Mare seemed to understand this as she stopped till he caught up and trots along side him to keep an eye on the injury Huh, She’s really nice for doing this... he thought to himself giving a small glance to the Pegasus who quickly turned her head away shyly from his gaze. The rabbit following the two ponies before looking back when it noticed something sparkling at the ground around the vines.
The two are now currently inside her home which was a small woodland cottage that, to the stallion, looked like it was apart of the nature around it along with the various small bird houses and holes surrounding the place. Somehow this seems fitting for her to live in. He thought as he was sitting on the large couch in the living room, now clean of forest debris while his cuts were treated and the more serious ones were bandaged up, which had little animals on them that he found adorable, as his wings were wrapped along with his injured leg that was now been given an ice pack by the cream yellow Pegasus Mare who has been treating him.
“There, all better. Luckily your leg and wings were not too bad, just some dislocations and bruises. But I want you to walk as little as possible and keep from flapping those wings for at least a week” she said with warm smile which he happily returned to her.
“Thanks a lot, I don’t know what would’ve happened if you weren’t in the forest...” he said before shivering a bit at the thought as he trailed off. Shaking his head clear of those thoughts, he focused back on the Mare who helped him “you know, you helped me so much that I don’t even know your name. Could I have the name of my kind doctor?” He asked as Her cheeks turned a bit pink at his title for her while she turned her head away, her long bright pink mane covering most of her face rather cutely to him.
“Oh...um...I’m....flutter....shy” her voice getting quieter at the end as she replied.
“Uh I’m sorry, I didn’t catch that?” He said leaning his head so his ear was facing to her direction.
“Um...my name is...Fluttershy.... her replied was slightly louder this time but the smile on his face was his reply as he pulled back his head.
“Fluttershy? That’s a nice and fitting name” he replied adding that adding that last part to his thoughts “well my name is Uh....” his mouth hung open as he stared blankly as much as his mind did wait...what’s my name? Why can’t remember it? Come on think you moron! Think! How can we not remember our name? Oh fuck she’s looking at us now, we’re taking to long! Quick say something! Anything! But try and make it a little cool too! Like Axel or Xander or- Ace! My name is Ace!” He quickly spoke out after his near nervous breakdown before giving Fluttershy a large smile when she was turning to him during his train-wreck of thoughts.
“Um, it’s nice to meet you...Ace...” she said in her soft tone with a small nod and smile to him “Um...if you don’t mind me asking...but, what...were you doing in the Everfree Forest? If it’s alright with you telling me...” she asked looking away while a small wave of her hoof
“Oh uh...yeah...so funny story” he said with a sheepish smile making her give him a curious look “I...actually just ended up there....”
“Ended up there?” She replied in confusion with a tilt of her head.
“Yeah, I don’t remember much except seeing a bright light and then I woke up in the forest” he said with a nod “waking up with nothing to me but my...” he lifts the hoof on his good leg to his neck, his bare neck.
Going wide eyes he looks down as his dread starts growing bigger “my necklace...where’s my necklace!?” He exclaimed frantically moving his head around for any signs of it.
“Your necklace? I didn’t see any necklace” Fluttershy said shaking her head as the panic rose up in Ace’s eyes.
“No no no! I have to find that necklace! It’s all I have from my dad!” He exclaimed getting off the couch onto his hooves, grunting and whining as his bad leg was giving pressure from standing up suddenly.
Fluttershy quickly went to his side before gently putting him back onto the couch “Don’t put to much pressure on your leg, I’m sure we’ll find your necklace once you recovered” she said going into nurse mode as he starts panting rapidly “now lets take some deep breaths nice and slowly” she takes slow long breaths in as Ace, through his small panic state, started joining in as his breath got much slower till it matched her speed. They did this for a few minutes as the fear and panic in his eyes was soon replaced with a calm state before closing his eyes doing one last exhale.
“Okay...Okay. I’m calm now” he said slowly opening his eyes before looking to his fellow Pegasus “thanks Fluttershy. That helped a lot”
“I’m glad I could.” She said with a smile, nodding to the stallion before continuing “Now, where did you last have your necklace?”
“Uh...I had it when I woke up, got chased by a pack of wolves made out of wood, fell off a cliff, crashed through some trees, and you pretty much know the rest. I remember having it when I fell so it might still be where we met” he explained as Fluttershy went wide eyes at his events.
“My goodness, no wonder you were hurt!” She exclaimed with a hoof to her mouth “that must’ve been so scary being chased by those...timberwolves” she shudder in fear at their name while Ace hummed in response.
“So that’s what their called...” he muttered before noticing a certain rabbit coming into the cottage from a small animal door “hey look who finally caught up” he said pointing to the rabbit.
“Angel?” Fluttershy said looking to where he was pointing before trotting over to her bunny “Angel sweetie, what were you doing out there? I just found you, please don’t tell me you were in the forest again?” She asked before blinking at the object in his mouth “what do you have-“
“That’s my necklace!” Ace exclaimed with wide eyes pointing at his black beaded necklace Angel dragged in with his mouth before Fluttershy scooped it up into her hooves.
“Oh Angel, you found his necklace! Mama is so proud, I’ll be sure to give you extra carrots for dinner tonight” she said happily while giving Ace his necklace back.
Angel looked confused at first before annoyed that HIS new accessory for his bed was taken, buuuut he guess he’ll let it slide with extra carrots for tonight.
“Well, I feel better now” Ace said proudly wearing his necklace again before looking up for a moment “oh right...I’m still homeless and broke...” he said out loud.
“Oh well...since your still injured...I um...wouldn’t mind if you stayed here till you recovered...” Fluttershy said going back to her usual shy self while hiding behind her mane.
“You sure? I appreciate, Really I do with everything else you’ve done for me, but I don’t want you to feel forced to let me stay” he said looking at Fluttershy in surprise at her suggestion.
“Oh no, it’ll be no trouble” she said with a shake of her head while pawing at the floor “I wouldn’t want you to add unnecessary pain to yourself while trying to find a place to live while still injured. Plus I um...wouldn’t mind having company over, I love all the animals I care for but...I’d like to talk to another pony sometimes...” she said with a pink tint to her cheeks looking at anything besides his eyes.
“Well...Okay, if you’re sure” he said with a nod before smiling at the mare “thanks Fluttershy, I’ll definitely help out with whatever I can” She was about to open her mouth to speak but he beat her to it “while only doing things that won’t act up my injuries, I promise” that closed her mouth up before she smiled and nodded in satisfaction.
“Well, I guess that’s okay with me!” She said with a bit of a giggle of excitement at actually having a roommate, she noticed the time before gasping “oh my so late, I’ll whip up something for us to eat before I have to feed my animals, how does cucumber and daisy sandwiches sound?”
“Sounds great, I’m starving” he replied with a smile and nod before Fluttershy headed off into the kitchen. Looking around the room as he sat alone now brought up some realization to him “Wow, first reincarnated, getting chased by wood wolves, got nursed and became roommates with a nice pony girl. Man wonder what tomorrow will bring...” he said before laying his head down on the cushion in relaxation and enjoy the quiet environment of the occasional bird chirping and small animal chitters.
Only for his eyes to open and ears shoot up at a sudden thought “wait....did she say cucumber and daisy sandwiches?”
