Chapter 1

Ok so this is pretty much my first fanfic ever, so criticism is to be expected and I shall accept it willingly and try to improve based upon any advice and criticism. I got this idea while actually playing one of the newer fan made Slender maps at around 3 A.M. and so I got to brainstorming and came up with this, so here it is, hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1

The Encounter

In the small town of Wintersville, it was a generally normal day as per usual, fall was quickly approaching and the slight nip in the air and trees growing bare assured that fact. It was just before sunrise when the ever familiar droning of Tyler’s alarm pulled him out of his pleasant slumber, much to his dismay. He simply rolled over and slapped his snooze button before closing his eyes again, hoping to get more rest before he had to drag himself out of bed, but as he knew for all his life, once he was awake, he could not get back to sleep.

Why can’t my body let me sleep like normal people can? He thought to himself before shrugging and going with what his body told him.

So he just sat up with a groan kicking his covers off his body and sitting up on the edge of his bed, rubbing the sleep out of his eyes. Once he felt he was awake enough that he wouldn't end up in the streets in his boxers again he walked out of his room and into the bathroom for his "business meeting" he had every single morning.

After relieving his bladder he went out into the kitchen to silence the growling of his stomach.

“Shut up I know you're hungry…” he said looking down at his stomach before pulling out a box of Cheerios and pouring it into his bowl, promptly pouring milk along with it. He walked back to his room, bowl in hand, as he shoveled a few spoon fulls of Cheerios into his mouth.

After he made quick work of his breakfast, slurping the milk from the bowl, he opened his closet grabbing a pair of jeans and his plain black long-sleeve shirt, quickly dressing himself before looking in the mirror on his door. Tyler was a skinny eighteen-year-old boy with pale skin, topping at just below six feet tall. His long dark brown hair flowed to just below his shoulders covering his ears and sometimes his left eye as his bangs always seemed to grow in that direction. He looked pretty good with long hair, for being a guy that is.

He heard the voice of his mother call out to him from the kitchen as she fixed her morning coffee, "Tyler, wear something warm, I don't want you catching a cold."

Tyler just sighed and rolled his eyes, grabbing a red t-shirt from his closet and pulling it over his head. He didn't think it was so cold out, but he just wanted to please his mother by doing what she said.

He took a quick look at his alarm clock which clearly displayed the time to be 7:25 A.M., almost time when his bus left the station not too far from his house. He quickly grabbed some socks and his favorite red Converses, slipping them on and grabbing his backpack before heading out the front door, waving goodbye to his mother. He walked briskly down the street towards his bus stop, checking the time on his cellphone to make sure he wasn't going to miss his bus.

A few minutes later Tyler saw the familiar white city bus slowly come to a complete halt in front of him. The doors opened, revealing the bus driver he had come to know so well.

“Morning Bill.” He said with as much cheer he could muster this early in the morning.

“Morning Tyler, how was your weekend?” Bill simply replied as Tyler took an empty seat near the front.

“It was pretty much the same as it normally is.” Tyler replied flatly, he never really was one for small talk.

Tyler just idly stared out the window, watching the scenery go by as the bus drove through town, going by the normal stops it went by to pick up any other riders.

As the bus came to a stop Tyler couldn’t help but notice a figure out by some trees, he rubs his eyes to make sure he wasn’t just seeing things and narrowed his eyes to make the figure out better. It seemed to be a rather tall man, looking to be almost 7 feet tall, in a dark black suit, he couldn’t see any hair on the pale, almost completely white, head of the figure. He couldn’t really make out any facial features either, not even eyes.

He quickly dismissed the idea of somebody not having a face, simply blaming it on the distance between them.

Tyler looked to the rider who just came onto the bus and decided to ask them about what he’d just seen.

“Uhm, excuse me sir, but do you know who that is over there?” he asked as he pointed out the window in the direction of the trees.

The man looked out the window then back to Tyler with a look of minor annoyance on his face, “What do you mean kid, ain’t nobody out there.” He said with a grunt before walking towards the back of the bus and taking a seat.

Tyler couldn’t believe what he had just heard, he quickly looked back out the window to see that the figure had all but vanished, leaving Tyler feeling completely crazy.

The day went on as it normally did for Tyler, he went to his classes, he rode the bus home and then he spent the rest of the day on his computer playing Team Fortress 2 and other online games.

He was in the middle of a match when he heard his dad call out to him from the living room.

“Tyler can you take the garbage out?” causing Tyler to let out a sigh before setting his headset aside and going out to grab the trash bag set out for him, walking down to the trash cans they kept at the end of their driveway. Just as he dropped the bag into the empty trash can and putting the lid back on he looked and saw the same figure he had seen before, out across the street just outside of the trees, looking blankly towards his direction. Tyler held the gaze of the tall man before he felt a chill run down his spine, as he realized the man did in fact have no face, causing him to look away and gather his thoughts.

What is he doing here? Did he somehow know I was staring at him? Did he follow me to my own home? What the hell could this freak want with me?

Tyler looked back in the direction of the man, only to see that he was uncomfortably close to him. Tyler stood there frozen in his place, daring not to blink or look away from the faceless man who easily towered over him, his long arms reaching down to his ankles of his thin, elongated legs. He kept staring until he saw long black tendrils slither out from the man’s back, slowly reaching out towards him. Tyler could only watch in horror until something in his brain told him he needed to get out of there, and he needed to do it quick.

Tyler turned and sprinted the opposite direction, towards his house, only to find the man standing right in front of the door, as if he had somehow teleported there. Tyler skidded to a stop turning on his heel before sprinting as fast as he legs could carry him towards the trees across the road. He kept running through the forest, several branches scraping across his face and arms, causing several scratches to appear on them before they slowly started to bleed. He started to slow his pace, eventually coming to a complete stop at a clearing in the forest with a large old tree in the center. Tyler looked around before he sat on the ground, leaning back against the trunk of the tree to catch his breath.

“What the hell is going on here? This can’t be real…..this has to be a nightmare…I just need to wake up….Then everything will be alright…”he kept reasoning with himself as he closed his eyes and kept repeating out loud as if to try waking himself up from this supposed nightmare he was in. “There's no place like home...There's no place like home….There's no place like home….” He slowly opened his eyes only to see he was still in the forest, much to his dismay. "Maybe I need some ruby slippers..."

Tyler had almost drifted to sleep before he heard the rustling of leaves and the crunch of dirt under the foot of something draw closer to him, causing his eyes to shoot open and behold the blank white face of the man a mere inches from his, he wanted to scream but couldn’t find his voice, he was completely frozen in place as this faceless man….creature….whatever this thing was, just stared into his very being with unseen eyes. Tyler got up to run but fell down to the ground, his face slamming into the dirt, he looked back to see a long black tendril from before wrapped tightly around his ankle, he struggled to pull free only to get wrapped in more of the black tendrils, his body started to feel numb, his mind started going blank and fuzzy as he slipped out of consciousness, the last thing in his sight being the featureless face staring at him, never changing....always watching.

Tyler groaned as he finally came to, his entire body sore and covered in dirt as he lie down on the ground, slowly gathering his thoughts before he felt able to sit up, he had to shield his eyes from the bright sunlight that shone down on him, his eyes slowly adjusting to the light before he could look around. He was sitting on the outskirts of a forest, a large grassy field, adorned with colorful wild flowers. He stood up and decided to start walking around, hoping to find somebody who could help him.

Just outside the Everfree Forest a yellow pegasus by the name of Fluttershy was singing happily to herself as she tended to all her animal friends, giving them their respective breakfasts. She was just about to hand her personal pet bunny Angel his carrot when she was interrupted by the yell of a familiar cyan pegasus.

“FLUTTERSHY!!!!” could be heard for over a mile radius from the mouth of none other than Rainbow Dash, her shouting causing the yellow pegasus to squeal loudly and hides behind a bush, dropping the carrot in front of Angel, before peeking her head out to see Rainbow Dash holding her pet tortoise tank in her hooves, hovering above the ground.

“R-Rainbow Dash you scared me….Why were you yelling so loudly, i-is something wrong?” she asked as she slowly came out from behind the bush, a concerned look on her face.

“You’re darn right something is wrong! It’s Tank!” she exclaimed holding her tortoise out to the yellow mare, showing tank was acting extremely lethargic, even by tortoise standards.

“Oh no you poor thing, you must be sick!” Fluttershy immediately grabbed hold of Tank and took him into her cottage, with Rainbow Dash following closely behind. Fluttershy set tank down on an empty chair and put a dish of water in front of him “He seems to have a pretty bad tummy ache, the poor dear, just let him rest and he should be fine.”Fluttershy said with a smile towards her cyan friend.

Rainbow Dash gave a big sigh of relief before coming down to the floor “That’s a relief, I was really worried about him.”

Fluttershy smiled and opened her front door "I'll keep a close eye on him until he gets better. Since you're here let's just chat for a while."

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had a pleasant chat about their friends, Rainbow Dash's new tricks, Fluttershy's animals, stuff mares would always find adequate to keep a conversation going.

"...and as you could imagine Twilight wasn't all that happy that I crashed into her.....again." Dash chuckled as she recounted the events of this morning.

"Well I'm glad nopony got hurt, that would be..."Fluttershy froze and could only stare in pure terror, stopped by a strange sight.

Rainbow Dash gave a confused look at her friend until she turned and saw the strange sight to behold. A creature that could walk on two legs in a full upright position, stood about 2 ponies high and had no fur, save for the long brown mane on his head.

Fluttershy let out a scream and darted into her house, the sound of locks and deadbolts being heard.

Rainbow dash turned to the creature and stared daggers at him "Alright pal, I don't know what you are, but you're goin' down!" she shouted before barreling towards him at full speed.

Tyler couldn’t believe what he saw, a blue miniature horse with wings and a rainbow colored mane flying right at him, faster than he would ever think a something was able to fly without a jet engine. Next thing he knew he was flat on his back, wincing in pain, with the small horse standing on him with a triumphant grin.

“That’s right! Don’t you mess with the best flyer in all of Equestira! Rainbow Dash!” she said proudly with her hoof raised high

Tyler shot his eyes open the minute he heard the voice and looked up at the blue winged horse “D-did you just talk?......” he asked flatly staring in disbelief at the brightly colored mare.

Rainbow Dash looked down at him with a slight glare “And why wouldn’t I be able to talk?” she sneered at him before leaning her face in really close to his “Besides, I should be asking YOU the questions mister! Who in the buck are you?! Coming around scaring Fluttershy and her animals?” she growled digging her hoofs into his stomach

Tyler grunted as the ponies hooves dug into him “H-hey watch the hooves! That really hurts!” he grunted as he tried pushing the pegasus off of him.

Rainbow Dash felt his hands on her and immediately took it as an attempt to hurt her and punches him square in the face with her hoof, knocking him out instantly.

Fluttershy ran over and looked over the unconscious creature, examining every detail of him before looking to Rainbow Dash “W-what do you think it is?”

“Your guess is as good as mine.” She replied with a shrug.

“Maybe we should take it to Twilight, she might know something about it.” Fluttershy suggested as Rainbow Hopped off Tyler’s chest.

“Yeah, that egghead is bound to know something about what this thing is.”

Okay so that is chapter 1 hopefully I didn’t do too bad for a first story idea and my writing abilities, please be VERY honest with what you think about it.

I had some time to edit it this morning, hopefully it's a bit better than it was before(less boring)

Chapter 2

Ok so far I got a lot of feedback on the first chapter, and am rather please that those who actually read the story offered helpful advice instead of auto downvoting because they hated the idea of another Slenderman story, hopefully this chapter will sate everybody’s appetite for progression in the story, plus this is going to be more of a chapter for laughs, comedy tag is there for a reason, so here you go everybody, chapter 2.

Chapter 2

I Really Like His Mane

Tyler felt like a train had hit him head-on, backed up over him, then ran him over again. He found it extremely difficult to move without something hurting, hell it even hurt when he breathed. As he slowly regained his consciousness, he heard several voices chatting quietly to each other, as if they didn’t want to wake him up.

Tyler slowly opened his eyes, taking in his surroundings as he wondered where he was now. He saw many sets of beakers, test tubes, and some confusing machines throughout the dark room.

Oh great, now I’m in some sort of mad scientists laboratory. They’d better have not inserted anything in me while I was asleep. He thought to himself before attempting to stand up, only to be met with the feeling of bumping into a sliding glass door, not one of his best moments in his childhood.

“What the?” he questioned aloud before reaching his hand out and seeing the shimmer of a bright lavender bubble surrounding him. “Oh great, first the faceless freak, then a crazy flying horse, and now some kind of forcefield? Please tell me I was slipped some kind of drug at a party and this is just one crazy ass drug trip….”

“What do you mean you don’t know what it is!? I thought you knew about weird creatures egghead!” Rainbow Dash asked completely shocked at what the lavender unicorn said.

“I mean there is nothing in any beastiary, tome, scroll or even mythology book I have Rainbow Dash, we could be dealing with a completely undiscovered species.” Twilight flatly replied to her rowdy friend.

“I say we beat the answers out of it! He could be an evil creature that wants to take over all of Equestria!” Rainbow suggested as she slammed her hoof on the table, almost knocking over the entire teakettle and cups.

Twilight sighed and rubbed her temples with her hooves “Rainbow, violence can’t always be the answer. For all we know he could be just as afraid of us as we are of him.”

“M-maybe if we just talk to him we could learn more about him…..I mean….if that’s ok….” Fluttershy said, quickly covering her face with her mane.

“Well….that’s the best we got….let’s see if it’s awake.” Twilight said as she trotted to the stairs leading to her basement laboratory, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy following her closely behind.

Tyler heard the sounds of hooves, clopping as they made their descent down into the basement. Candles lit themselves as if by command as the sound drew nearer to him, eventually lighting the whole room up enough that he could see clearly.

Tyler’s eyes were met by the large, purple, eyes of a small lavender unicorn with a straight mane. He looked and saw the same yellow and cyan pegasai he saw earlier and started to feel anger build up in him.

“Hey! What the hell is going on here? Why did you go and attack me for no reason?!” he said as he sneered towards the rainbow maned pony.

“Do you wanna go for round two punk?!” Rainbow shot back at him, rearing up on her hind legs, making quick jabs at the air with her forelegs.

“Rainbow calm down. He at least deserves an explanation on what’s going on.” Twilight said to the cyan pony, who just sat on her haunches with a huff.

Tyler looked in disbelief at the lavender unicorn and she drew closer to him, stopping just short of the forcefield.

“Uhm….any way you could get rid of this forcefield? It’s not like I’m going to attack you and try to eat your brains or something….” Tyler asked, rather annoyed that he didn’t have much room to move or stretch his aching limbs.

“Sorry that is actually for your protection, Rainbow Dash can tend to fly off the handle sometimes.” She replied shooting a quick glare back at the pouting pegasus. “Anyways, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am the faithful student of Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria.”

“Ok my name is Tyler, and I am the royally confused bastard who has no idea why I’m here, how I got here, or why I’m talking to horses…” he quickly replied, in a somewhat mocking tone to the unicorn, causing her to shoot him an unamused glare.

“You don’t even know how you got here?” she gave him a look of disbelief, “It’s not like you just appeared here from thin air.”

“If I knew how I got here I probably wouldn’t be in this situation right now.” He replied rubbing the back of his neck “To behonest I think this is all just a crazy dream, where I’m from horses can’t fly, don’t come in goofy colors, or more importantly TALK.”

“Ok then…..can you at least tell me WHAT you are?” she asked looking him over head to toe.

“I’m a human….you seriously don’t know what a human is?” he asked as he crooked his eyebrow, confused that humans seemed to be quite rare to the pony.

“I’ve never heard of anything called a “Human” before…..Maybe I can be the first pony ever to document this finding! Oh Celestia is going to be so proud!” She started to ramble on about the honor and recognition she would recieve.

“Ok…so now what am I gonna do?” he asked trying to bring the unicorn out of her excited nerdgasm.

“Hey Twilight!” Rainbow shouted catching her attention, causing her to stop and blush, chuckling sheepishly before looking to Tyler again

“Uhm yes….Maybe I’ll ask the princess if she knows anything about this….for now though you are gonna have to live in ponyville until we can send you home.” She turned to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy “Girls I need you to go tell the Mayor to gather everypony in town square so we can introduce the newest resident of ponyville.”

“You can count on us Twi!” Rainbow Dash said proudly as she puffed out her chest.

“O-ok Twilight.” Fluttershy said from behind her mane before she and Rainbow Dash left the library.

“Now mister Tyler, are there any questions you’d like to ask before we take you to meet everypony?”

Tyler opened his mouth to say something but was interrupted by the loud growling of his stomach, causing him to hold his hands over it and chuckle. “Uhm…..got anything to eat?”

Pinkie Pie was hopping around town as she always did, humming to herself and greeting everypony in sight in her usual cheerful manner. She suddenly stopped and gasped as she was hit by her “Pinkie Sense”. “Oooo~! Somepony new must have entered town! I’d better plan a party and let everypony know!” she shouted before galloping back to SugarCube Corner.

Twilight watched in amazement as Tyler ate an apple, holding it in his hand as she furiously scribbled down every little detail onto a scroll. “So you say those are called Hands? And you can make them do whatever you want?” she asked with a twinkle in her eye

“Yeah, see?” he said as he wiggled his fingers in front of her face, causing her to let out a squeal in delight, setting her scroll into the stack of the others she had already filled out, now reaching an impressive inch thick.

“Uhm, not to rain on your parade here Twilight….but weren’t we supposed to introduce me to the town or something?” Tyler asked tossing his apple core into a nearby wastebasket, already filled to the brim with apple cores.

“Oh…right…almost forgot.” She said putting her parchment and quill down before standing up. She opened the door and Tyler followed behind her as they walked in the direction of the town hall.

Outside the town hall was a large crowd of ponies, chattering away to each other as they waited the town meeting to start. Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie Pie were all standing on the stage, lined up on either side of the podium as Mayor Mare trotted over and tapped the microphone, the feedback causing everypony in the crowd to immediately stop their chatter.

“Good afternoon residents of Ponyville, As your Mayor it has been brought to my attention that there is a new resident in town! And from what I have been told, he is some kind of creature never before seen in ponyville or possibly all of Equestria.” As she finished this caused a wave of hushed voices to start talking in the crowd.

“Then what is he!?” a voice called out from the crowd, causing a wave of voices to shout out in agreement.

“Calm down everypony, once Twilight arrives with him I am sure all your questions will be answered!” just as she finished speaking she looked out and saw Twilight walking down the road, with said “creature” walking along side her.

A collective sound of shock and awe erupted from the crowd as they watched the alien creature walk by them on the street and up towards the stage, some muttering to each other wile other ponies just stared.

Twilight walked up to the podium and nodded to the mayor “Thank you ma’am I think I can handle it from here.” She said as the tan coated pony stepped away form the podium, only after staring at Tyler for a good long moment.

The crowd just sat and stared as Tyler stood there on stage, looking nervously at all the ponies staring at him, causing him to sweat a little and tremble slightly.

Dammit, it’s like the school spelling bee all over again…..I hate being the center of attention. He thought to himself, wishing he could just run away.

“Good afternoon everypony, I am Twilight Sparkle, and this is Tyler.” She said gesturing towards the nervous human who gave a shy wave.

“Uhm h-hello~” he quietly replied, swallowing hard as he tried to calm his nerves.

“He says he is, a “human” and he will be staying with us in ponyville for the time being. Are there any questions?” she asked, only to be met with every single pony in the crowd raising their hooves into the air. She groaned a bit and looked to Tyler, “Here you answer the questions..” she said stepping down from the podium.

Tyler walked over to the podium, leaning down to the microphone, putting him in a rather awkward position form how tall he was. He looked into the crowd and pointed to a grey pegasus with a blonde mane. “Uhm, you there, what’s your question?”

“Do you like muffins?!” the grey mare shouted, Twilight facehoofed when she heard this question.

“Sure, muffins are good I suppose.” He replied causing the mare to let out a giddy squeal, he pointed to a small white unicorn with a purple and pink mane “Uhm yes you there?”

“I really like your mane!” Sweetie Belle shouted and giggled.

“Uhm not really a question but thanks….any other questions?” every single hoof in the crowd once again found it’s way in the air. “By that I mean ACTUAL questions that don’t deal with what I like?....” as he said that every hoof found it’s way back to the ground.

Mayor mare stepped back up to the podium “Thank you Tyler, That will be all for now everypony, please go back to your usual business and treat Tyler just like you would anypony else.” She said before trotting back to her office.

Towards the back of the crowd a unicorn with a aquamarine coat and a lyre cutie mark on her flank was hopping up and down trying to look over the crowd, causing her earth pony companion to groan and roll her eyes.

“Lyra stop jumping around like that, it’s embarrassing.” Bon Bon said shooting Lyra an annoyed glare.

“But I wanna see the human Bon Bon! I told everypony humans were real but they thought I was crazy!” she said hopping up and down until she heard the mayor wrap the meeting up.

“Cmon Lyra let’s go, meetings over.” She said grabbing the unicorns tail in her mouth, dragging her the other direction.

“NOOOOO!!!! I MUST SEE HIM!” she said digging her hooves into the ground, leaving comical marks in the dirt as she was dragged along.

Tyler let out a sigh of relief only to feel the life being squeezed out of him, looking down to see a poofy pink mane in his face along, with a pink pony with her legs tightly wrapped around him.

“Hi! My name is Pinkie Pie it’s so so so so so nice to meet you! You sure look funny, where are you from, do you like cupcakes? I sure do! I love all kind of sweets really but cupcakes are my favorite! I also like parties! They are so fun, once I threw a party for gummy! He’s my pet alligator and then we-…”

“Pinkie! Calm down or yer gonna suffocate the poor fella!” Applejack shouted to the hyperactive pony, who released her grip, allowing Tyler to breathe again.

“Oopsies~ hee hee.” She giggled and took a step away from him “Sorry Tyler~”

“Sorry ‘bout that, Pinkie’s just being Pinkie. Ahm Applejack, and it’s nice to meet ya partner.” The orange mare said as she tipped her hat to him.

Tyler caught his breath from the death hug and nodded to Applejack “It’s nice to meet you too Applejack.”

“Good afternoon darling, you may call me Rarity, I own the Carousel Boutique, please stop by sometime if you ever want me to fix that “problem” of yours.” She said wrinkling her nose up as she looked over his clothing.

“Uhm…..thanks…I guess?” he replied

“And I already know you…” he said looking to Rainbow Dash, who looked down sheepishly.

Twilight nudged her in the side with her foreleg “Cmon Rainbow….”

“I’m…sorry…” she said under her breath

“You’re what?” he asked leaning closer

Rainbow grunted before speaking up “I’m sorry!” she said before looking away.

Tyler chuckled and pat her on the head and ruffled up her mane “Was that so hard now?”

Rainbow Dash blushed and groaned “Oh shut up…”

“Well I’m not sure what to do now, but I’m glad nobody freaked out at the sight of me.” Tyler shrugged and looked to Twilight. “So now what should I do?”

Twilight opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by Pinkie Pie “WE’RE GONNA THROW YOU A PARTY~~~!!!!” she shouted as she threw confetti everywhere.

“Uhm….ok….sounds cool.” he said with a shrug.

Maybe it won’t be so bad here…At least that faceless freak isn’t here….

As he gazed through the cluster of trees on the outskirts of town, he could sense his prey close by. He slowly vanished into the darkness as he went back to the woods to hide out, plotting his method of capturing his victim.

Ok here’s chapter 2, hope this helps sate your appetite for now as I brainstorm about chapter 3, so far I have some supporters as well as people who could care less, either way I shall continue to write.

Chapter 3

You Do What To Your Apples?!

Tyler couldn’t see a thing as Pinkie Pie had blindfolded him and was no guiding him to who knows where. He kept his hand on her poofy, cotton candy style mane so he wouldn’t bump into something or get lost.

“Pinkie Pie did you seriously have to blindfold me? What’s so special that you gotta go to these lengths to keep me in the dark?” Tyler questioned as he slowly walked with the energetic pony.

“Ah ah ah~ We wouldn’t wanna ruin the surprise! Because if you already knew about it then it wouldn’t be a surprise!” Pinkie simply replied before stopping in her tracks.

“Why did we stop? Can I take the blindfold off now?” he said reaching up to pull the blindfold off, only to feel a hoof slap his hand.

“Not yet~!” Pinkie replied with a giggle before pushing him from behind into a doorway, causing him to stumble forwards trying to regain his balance.

As he regained his balance he pulled the blindfold off his eyes only to find himself standing in a completely dark room. “Uhm….hello?” the very second he spoke up the lights flashed on and a huge cheer rang through his ears as a huge group of ponies yelled “SURPRISE!” causing him to jump up a little.

Tyler couldn’t help but smile as he looked around the room seeing tons of ponies grinning ear to ear, standing under a banner that said “Welcome to Ponyville”.

“Pinkie did you plan this all yourself?” Tyler asked as he turned to the pink mare who was bouncing around.

“I sure did silly! Wouldn’t be much of a welcome if we didn’t throw you a party!” she said before shooting off one of her confetti cannons.

“Well you ponies sure know how to make a guy feel welcome.” He said walking over to the snack table grabbing a cupcake, taking a quick bite out of it as everpony in the room started chatting amongst themselves.

Slowly the tall dark suited man crept through the woods, eventually finding himself in a clearing that the sun shone through. He stood motionless for a moment his blank face staring at a rustling bush, daring not to make a move. His tendrils quickly outstretched into the bush constricting it’s prey tightly as he slowly brought it to his face, what he held before him was a small rabbit, struggling to break free from the dark tendrils of it’s blank-faced captor. An entire minute passed as he held the rabbit slowly squeezing the life out of it until it slumped over, lifeless and unmoving. He could only stare at the rabbit before he dropped it on the ground, continuing his trek through the woods, leaving the lifeless corpse lay in the clearing where he once stood.

Tyler was having a blast at the party as Vinyl Scratch had begun to spin her impressive beats, bobbing her head to the rhythm in her trademark purple shades. Tyler, along with some other ponies were all dancing to the rhythm, all laughing and bouncing around.

Over by the snack table Twilight smiled as she watched Tyler enjoy himself so much in such an unfamiliar place. “He sure can make the best of things can’t he?” she said turning to Applejack who was biting into a cupcake.

“He sure can, Ah never seen anypony dance like that before. Then again ah never seen anypony who could walk on two legs comfortably neither.” She chuckled before setting her cupcake down. “There’s just one problem Twi…Where’s he gonna live? It’s not like he’s got any bits to buy himself a house.” The farmer pony said to her friend in a serious tone.

“Well…I suppose he could stay with me and Spike? Maybe he could help around the library too?” she said as she scratched her head.

“Ahm not so sure about that Twi, remember what happened with owloyscious?” apple jack replied with a crooked eyebrow.

“Oh right….Wouldn’t want Spike to get all jealous again and try to get rid of Tyler…Maybe he can stay with you? He could help out on the farm so he could earn his own bits.” Twilight replied with a twinkle in her eye.

“Well That sounds just great Twilight! We could always use an extra hoof—er Ah mean hand in his case, round the farm. Let’s just hope he’s a hard worker.” She said before calling to her new human companion “Tyler come over here a minute, Ah got something Ah wanna ask ya!”

Tyler stopped his dancing before walking over to the orange farm pony “Hey AppleJack, what’s up?”

“Twilight and Ah have been thinking ya’ll still need a place to stay while you’re in ponyville, and it just so happens Ah have room over on the Apple Family Farm, if ya would like to come and stay with me an mah family that is.” she explained as she took another bite of her cupcake.

“Sure that sounds great!” he said with a big grin on his face.

“There’s a catch though sugarcube.” She said causing Tyler to slightly frown.

“What kind of catch?” he asked her scratching his head.

“Ya’ll are gonna have to work on the farm to earn you’re keep, ah’ll toss some bits your way so you have some spending money as well.”

Tyler didn’t really enjoy the idea of working on a farm, but he did need a place to stay as well as some form of money. “Well I don’t really see a problem with that I guess..” he replied causing AppleJack to smile brightly at him.

“Great! We can walk home to the farm after the party, and ah’ll be waking ya up bright and early tomorrow, so ya’ll better get your sleep.” She said before trotting off to talk to Rainbow Dash.

“Something tells me that pony is gonna run me ragged tomorrow…” he said turning to Twilight.

“Oh you don’t know the half of it mister.” Twilight replied as she rolled her eyes.

The party started to draw to a close as ponies started leaving and the sun began to set, several ponies smiled and waved goodbye to Tyler as they left, he would smile and wave back, rather enjoying all the attention all the ponies were giving him.

“Well ain’t you just Mr. Popular?” AppleJack said as she nudged him in the side.

He chuckled and blushed a bit “Yeah…they’re probably just interested in seeing somebody new, especially when they aren’t really something they see any other day.”

“Well we better head out if we wanna get back to the farm by dark, follow me partner.” AppleJack trotted out the door with Tyler following closely behind as they headed in the direction of Sweet Apple Acres.

“Cmon Bon Bon if we don’t get there we might miss him!” Lyra shouted as she galloped in the direction of SugarCube Corner.

“Lyra calm down! Why do we need to hurry? I’m sure you’ll get to see him sooner or later.” Bon Bon replied with an exasperated sigh.

“BUT I NEED TO SEE HIM NOW!” Lyra shouted breathing heavily with wide eyes, causing Bon Bon to take a few steps back.

“Lyra….did you take your medication this morning?” she asked as Lyra trotted through the door in SugarCube Corner, paying no mind to what her friend had said at all.

Lyra looked around until she spotted Pinkie Pie cleaning up everything from the party, humming to herself. She ran to her with a hopeful grin “Pinkie Pie! Where is he?!”

“Oooo~! Where is who? Are you playing hide and seek with someone? Can I play can I play can I play?!” she asked bouncing up and down excitedly.

“NO! Where is the human?!” Lyra asked grabbing the bouncing pony to keep her attention.

“Oh well he just left with AppleJack, you Just missed him.” She said with a giggle.

Lyra sighed dejectedly and slumped over on the floor “Cruel fate has bested me again…” she said as she moped on the floor.

Bon Bon trotted in to see a depressed Lyra on the floor. She looked at Pinkie Pie “Lemme guess…she just missed him?” Bon Bon asked the grinning pink mare

“Uh huh.” She replied, continuing to clean up after the party.

“Cmon Lyra, there’s always tomorrow….” She said grabbing her friends tail in her mouth, once again dragging her home.

Tyler and Applejack kept walking along the trail to Sweet Apple Acres. Tyler was telling her a story from his childhood.

“….and the damn thing was so heavy the line snapped right as we were about the pull it out of the water. Saying I was a little upset woulda been an understatement….had to buy a new fishing pole hehheh….” he said chuckling sheepishly.

“Wow you sure have some crazy stories there. Well here we are~” she said as they walked up to the entrance of her apple farm

“Holy crap that’s a lot of apple trees!” he said as he stared at the trees that seemed to go for miles.

“You’re tellin’ me, good thing Ahm a genuine applebucker.” She replied with a rather proud tone.

“Wow that must…..wait……you do WHAT to your apples?!” he asked staring at her with wide eyes.

“Ah buck em’…..what did you think Ah said?” she looked at him confused

“OH! I thought you said something else.” at that moment Tyler got an idea and tried to hide his sly smile. “Ahem…..sooo…..how often do you buck apples?”

“Ah buck em’ everyday of the week.” She said puffing her chest out proudly.

Tyler stifled a chuckle before continuing with his little joke “And how hard do you “buck” them?”

“Ah buck them as hard as Ah can.” She continued giving him a confused look

“And….pfff…h-how long do you “buck” them?” he kept chuckling under his breath.

“Ah buck em from morning till night.” She replied. At the point Tyler busted out laughing, slapping his knee before falling onto his back and holding his sides.

“BAHAHAHAHAAAA! Oh I bet you do! Buck em’ all day, Buck em’ REAL good!” he continued to howl with laughter leaving AppleJack staring at him a little confused.

“What’s so gosh darn funny?! Something funny about applebuckin mister?” she said glaring down at the human rolling on the ground with laughter.

Tyler kept laughing before pausing just long enough to explain “A-AppleJack….just…replace that B with another letter….”

AppleJack stood there for a moment before her cheeks flushed brightly and she covers her mouth with her hoof, causing Tyler to bust out laughing again. AppleJack glared but eventually joined him in his laughter.

“Well ah sure haven’t heard that one before, cmon let’s go inside so ya’ll can get some sleep for tomorrow.” She said trotting towards her house, Tyler following her after brushing his clothes off.

Here it is guys, Chapter 3! As promised to all my readers~ To be honest I wouldn’t be writing this at all without you guys supporting me~

Chapter 4

Hey guys! Sure has been a while since I last posted a chapter here, and since all my classes have been cancelled for today I decided to write this~ Hope you enjoy chapter 4.

Chapter 4

An Apple a Day Keeps the Lyra Away

AppleJack trotted upstairs to the guest bedroom to wake Tyler up for his first day of work. She opened the door and walked over to his bedside, giving him a gentle nudge with her hoof.

“Rise an’ shine Tyler, we got some work ta do.” She said into his ear, causing him to groan and roll over to face the farm pony.

“Awwww c’mon five more minutes…..” he replied pulling the covers over his head.

AppleJack smirked before she gave him another nudge with her hooves, only this time pushing him off the bed, causing him to fall to the floor with a loud thud.

“Ok ok I’m up!” he groaned before sitting up and rubbing his head. He yawned and stretched as he stood up, cracking his neck and back before following the orange pony downstairs to the kitchen.

“Ah hope ya’ll don’t mind havin’ apples for breakfast, don’t really know what else you humans eat.” AppleJack said as she pushed a basket with several apples in it onto the table.

“Apples are fine I guess, good thing I enjoy fruit so much.” He replied before taking a bite out of one of the apples.

After Tyler and AppleJack finished their breakfast they went out to the barn where AppleJack pulled out an empty cart with several empty wooden buckets in them.

“Alright partner, today you’re gonna help me with harvestin’ the apples, Ah’ll buck the trees so the apples collect in these buckets, an’ ya’ll are gonna take the buckets and put the apples in the cart. Think ya can handle that?” she asked, causing Tyler to nod in response.

“Alright then let’s get started.” She said before they went to the orchard, setting the buckets under the trees to catch the apples. AppleJack turned her back to the tree and gave it a hard buck just as she always did, causing all the apples to fall into the bucket, filling it up quickly.

Tyler watched in amazement as the small earth pony had just knocked all the apples out of the tree with just one kick, he pulled himself out of his amazed trance remembering he had a job to do. He hefted the large tub of apples up and carried it over to the cart, dumping the apples into it, turning to see AppleJack had already bucked three more trees, filling up the tubs with ease. Tyler knew he’d have to step his game up to keep up with this farm pony.

As the day went on in Ponyville, a certain aquamarine unicorn was trotting around the market, dragging her friend along with her, much to her dismay.

“Lyra can we just give this human thing a rest? You are really starting to annoy me with this strange obsession.” Bon Bon said with a groan as she followed Lyra around the market.

“Bon Bon, you of all ponies would know how much this means to me! If you were my friend you would support me and try to help!” she replied as she looked around every nook and cranny she could in hopes of finding the new human of Ponyville.

Bon Bon sighed and rolled her eyes before trotting over to Lyra. “Ok fine, I’ll help you. If not just to help you get by this crazy obsession. Now if you’d have paid attention last night we wouldn’t have to look around for him. Remember last night when Pinkie Pie said that he left with AppleJack last night? Maybe he’s still at the farm Lyra.” She suggested, causing the unicorn to gasp loudly.

“That sneaky AppleJack! She must want to keep the human all to herself! To think you know somepony so well….” Lyra said, her voice laced with venom.

“Uhm Maybe you’re just over-reacting?” Bon Bon said taking a step back from Lyra, but her suggestion fell on deaf ears as Lyra started galloping towards Sweet Apple Acres, eliciting a sigh from Bon Bon. “I have got to get new friends…..or a therapist for that pony….or both.”

Tyler was lying on the ground panting heavily, covered in sweat and dirt from the effort he had to put in to keep up with AppleJack’s work. He wiped the sweat from his forehead as AppleJack trotted over with a glass of water.

“Well you’re not too bad sugarcube, but don’t go doin’ more work than ya’ll can handle, I know what that can do to ya.” She said as Tyler accepted the glass of water.

Tyler quickly drank the water, splashing some on his face, sighing as he started to cool down. “I’m just not used to working so hard is all. I tend to be lazy at times.”

“Gee ya don’t say…” she retorted with a hint of sarcasm and a chuckle.

“Hey doesn’t mean I won’t work when I have to. And I kinda have to if I want a place to sleep and money to spend.” He replied giving the mare a playful push.

“Ya got that right partner. Now I just got one more thing for ya’ll to do then you can do whatever ya want.” She trotted into the barn coming back with a basket full of apples, setting them down in front of him. “I need ya’ll to take these apples to Twilight at the library, don’t forget to ask for 5 bits.”

“Ok, guess I can do that.” He said before standing up and brushing the dirt off his jeans, grabbing the basket and heading towards town.

AppleJack turned to enter the barn but was face to face with a disgruntled looking Lyra.

“Oh howdy there Lyra, what can I do for ya?” she asked with a smile.

“Don’t give me that AppleJack….I know he’s here…..you just want him all to yourself don’t you?” Lyra replied stepping closer to AppleJack, staring daggers at her.

“He? What are ya’ll talkin’ about?” AppleJack asked tilting her head to the side.

“The human! Pinkie Pie told me you brought him here last night, you just want to keep the human for yourself!” Lyra shouted, glaring angrily at AppleJack.

“Now hold on Lyra, this is just a misunderstandin’ I brought Tyler here cuz he needed a place to live and a job to make bits, why would I want to keep him all for mahself?” AppleJack replied to the angry unicorn.

“Well if that’s true then where is he?!” Lyra asked, seeming less angry at AppleJack.

“Ah just sent him to town to take some apples to Twilight, maybe ya’ll can catch up to him.”

The very second AppleJack finished her sentence she saw an aquamarine blur heading in the direction of town. AppleJack chuckled a bit as she watched Lyra dash towards the town in a speed that could rival Rainbow Dash’s.

“Ah hope that this won’t end badly….” She said before trotting into her barn.

Tyler whistled to himself as he walked into town, waving at several ponies who greeted him along the way. He smiled as he enjoyed the attention of the ponies who were fascinated by him. He walked up to the large tree where Twilight lived and ran her library, knocking on the door. A few moments later it opened up but Tyler couldn’t see anyone, he looked around before a voice called his attention to look downwards.

“Whoa! You must be the human Twilight told me about.”

Tyler looked down and saw a small purple and green reptile walking on two legs like him, looking up at him with big green eyes.

“I’m Spike, you must be Tyler.” Spike said reaching his claw out to shake Tyler’s hand. Tyler just looked down, not sure what to make of what he was seeing.

“Uhm…..are you okay?” Spike asked looking up at Tyler

“Dude……you are the biggest freakin’ iguana I have ever seen……”

“I’m not an iguana! I’m a dragon!” Spike said angrily.

“Yeah yeah, is Twilight here? I brought the apples AppleJack told me to bring.”

Spike grunted before turning and calling Twilight. Twilight trotted over to the doorway smiling as she greeted Tyler.

“Oh hi Tyler, what brings you here?” Twilight asked looking to the apples

“AppleJack told me to bring these, and to remember to ask you for 5 bits.”

“Oh alright then, just a moment.” She said before trotting back into the house, leaving Spike and Tyler alone for a moment.

“So if you’re a dragon where are your wings?” Tyler asked looking down at the young dragon.

“I don’t have any, I’m just a baby dragon.” Spike replied.

“Well can you at least breathe fire? That’s what makes the dragon.” Tyler said looking down at Spike.

“Of course I can.” Spike said before taking a deep breath, letting out a small plume of green flame.

“Well not really what I’d call dragon worthy but fire breath is fire breath….” He said, causing Spike to growl at him.

Twilight returned levitating 5 gold coins over to Tyler. “Here’s the 5 bits Tyler, that’s the money we use here in Equestria.” She said as Tyler looked down at the shiny coins.

“Wow, gold coins? Back where I live these would be worth a good bit in my money.” Tyler said looking at the coins.

“Well have a nice day; I have some studying to do.” Twilight said as she and Spike walked back into the library and closed the door.

“Well I better get back to AppleJack.” He said as he turned around, and saw a unicorn with a lyre on her flank staring up at him, grinning ear to ear.

“Uhm…..hi?” Tyler said, a little uneasy from the way she smiled at him.

Bon Bon trotted around Ponyville looking for Lyra, hoping she didn’t get into any trouble. Recounting several incidents where her human obsession caused a few incidents in town.

“AHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

Bon Bon and several other ponies through the town heard a scream, they looked around for a few seconds before they saw Tyler running as fast as he could through the town, weaving around and jumping over obstacles and ponies.

“COME BACK HERE I NEED YOU!” Lyra shouted as she galloped after him.

“LEAVE ME ALONE YOU CRAZY HORSE!” Tyler shouted as he ran through town with Lyra close behind him.

Bon Bon sighed and facehoofed mentally as she galloped after her friend.

“I need to put that pony on a leash….” She said as she followed Lyra

Tyler kept running and turned down an alley only to be met with a dead end.

“Dammit!” he said turning to see the crazy unicorn walking towards him, grinning menacingly.

“I finally have you….you are mine…..” she said as she stepped up to him.

“What are you gonna do with me….?” Tyler asked as he backed into the wall.

Lyra’s grin disappeared as she brought her hoof to her chin. She thought for a couple moments before she looked back at Tyler.

“To be honest….I don’t even know….” Lyra replied

Bon Bon trotted over to Lyra glaring at the aquamarine unicorn.

“Dammit Lyra, what were you thinking chasing him around town like that? You probably scared the crap out of him!” Bon Bon said scolding Lyra.

“I-I’m sorry Bon Bon…..But you know how much it means to me that humans are real…..I just had to see for myself…” Lyra replied, looking down at the ground.

“Now apologize to him, you probably almost gave him a heart attack.” Bon Bon said looking at Lyra.

“I’m sorry….I didn’t mean to scare you….I just wanted to meet a human, it’s been a desire of mine for a long time.” Lyra murmured as she looked over to Tyler.

“Well….next time don’t approach me in a manner a psychopath would ok?” Tyler said before standing up and patting Lyra’s head.

Lyra shuddered a bit and fainted, falling over onto her side with a look of pure bliss on her face.

“Uhm….is she ok?” Tyler asked looking to Bon Bon.

“She’ll be fine in about two hours….” She replied as she dragged Lyra home once again by her tail with her mouth.

Well it’s not much but I have been so busy with college lately so I can’t really write as much as I wish I could. Constructive criticism is very welcomed, I will try to improve upon my work from any advice you guys give me.

Chapter 5

WOW This one was LONG overdue, but I can finally be content to say I may be able to do more chapters and more frequent updates as the semester is almost over. So for those of you who actually waited for this, here ya go~

Chapter 5

Is it ‘sposed to Dangle like that?

Tyler trudged his way back to the farm after his encounter with the human loving unicorn, covered in more dirt and sweat than earlier. He finally made it back where AppleJack was waiting at the entrance for him, trying to stifle a chuckle as he walked up to her looking slightly annoyed.

“AppleJack what’s so funny?” Tyler asked giving her a small glare.

“Ah don’t know what ya’ll are talkin’ about…..pfff….Ah don’t think anything is funny.” She replied as she scrunched up her face.

Tyler looked down at her and rolled his eyes “You’re a terrible liar, you know that right?”

AppleJack finally gave up and fell to the ground laughing and pointing at Tyler.

“Ah didn’t think Lyra would cause ya that much trouble!” she said between her laughs and gasps for air.

“Oh so you know her? Do me a favor, next time she comes looking for me, give me a heads up….” Tyler said as he walked by AppleJack to the barn.

“Don’t worry, Ah’ll let ya know if’n I see the big bad scary Lyra.” She replied with a smirk.

Prey…..It needed to find prey…..It’s all that mattered to him, catching his prey so he could feed upon their fears and sanity…..he slowly skulked through the shadows of the everfree forest, looking around for signs of his escaped quarry, poking around the bushes and trees with his tendrils...All he could think about…..was the boy who had narrowly escaped him that night..

Tyler walked through town, still covered head to toe in dirt and sweat from his rather eventful day, resembling a coal miner after a general work day. As he walked along he saw five of his new pony friends, along with Twilight’s dragon assistant heading towards what seemed to be a spa.

“Hey guys! What’s going on?” Tyler said as he ran over to them catching their attention.

“Goodness Tyler! How did you get so dirty?” Rarity exclaimed, barely keeping herself from fainting.

“Let’s just say I had an encounter with a crazy unicorn….But that’s not important, what I want to know is what you girls….and dragon…..are up to.” He replied brushing a bit of dirt from his jeans.

“We’re having a little spa day together, would you like to join us? You could use it the most out of everypony here.” Twilight said looking at the dirt caked boy

“Well….just because I could really use a bath…..by the way where’s Skittles?”

“Skittles? ” Twilight asked with a confused expression

“….I mean Rainbow Dash”

I was kinda hoping they would get that one

“Oh well the spa isn’t her thing…Especially anything that would have to do with her hooves being touched. Would you like to join us? I mean I’m not sure spas are really your thing either….but…..the least you could do is get a bath.” she asked with a slight chuckle

Tyler glanced over to a nearby window and saw just how dirty he was, giggling before giving them a nod

“Yeah…. I guess I might as well get a bath.”

“Maybe we should have warned them ahead of time that they might need to change the water…” Spike said, earning a round of giggles from the mares.

Tyler just rolled his eyes and walked into the spa with them.

As they entered the spa Tyler looked around and couldn’t help but feel a little impressed at the humble spa.

“Well….sure seems nice.” Tyler said as he looked around

“Oh it’s MORE than nice darling, you will leave this spa feeling like a new pony--err….human.” Rarity replied as she was greeted by Aloe and Lotus, the twins who ran the spa.

Tyler waited as he saw the ponies trot towards different areas of the spa to being their treatment, he followed them until he found the bath then smiled and called over Aloe.

“Uhm, excuse me miss where may I find the changing room?”

Aloe giggled and simply replied “We don’t have changing rooms dear.”

“…You….don’t?” Tyler replied as he felt the blood pour into his face, turning it a rather bright shade of crimson.

Pinkie Pie hopped over and giggled as she playfully nudged Tyler’s leg “Why would you need a changing room? Most ponies don’t normally wear clothes anyways Silly!” Pinkie Pie replied, bouncing around the room

“Crap…”

Lyra woke up to find she was in her bed at home with Bon Bon nearby watching her.

“Bon Bon what the hay happened? Did I meet the human?”

“You sure did, his name is Tyler by the way….”

“I did?! What happened though?! I don’t remember anything!” Lyra shouted throwing her hooves into the air

“You chased him around town and scared the crap outta him, I made you apologize to him, thankfully he accepted your apology, then he pet you and you passed out.” She replied

“Wh-where did he go?! I didn’t even get to talk to him or see his hands Bon Bon, HIS HANDS!” Lyra exclaimed as she sat up and hopped out of her bed, heading towards the door.

Bon Bon quickly got up and blocked the door “Oh no we are not going through this again Lyra, you’ll just end up causing trouble again, and thanks to your antics the past few days, I have the constant taste of your tail in my mouth!”

Lyra sighed before sitting down and looking at the floor defeated “I’m sorry Bon Bon….Maybe we should just go to the spa together, maybe it’ll help me forget about the hum--….I mean Tyler….”

Bon Bon smiled and opened the door “I would love that Lyra.” She said before trotting out the door with Lyra towards the direction of the spa.

“Tyler get yer hind end out here already! What’s the big deal about bein’ naked!? We don’t normally wear clothes anyways!” AppleJack yelled at the door of a nearby closet Tyler had hidden himself in to change.

“But you’re ponies! It’s different for humans!” Tyler shouted back at her.

“Oh fer the love a Celestia just put a towel on and get out here!” she said, waiting a few moments before Tyler finally came out with a towel around his waist.

“Ok fine…..as long as I have a towel on it should be fine…” he said with a slight blush on his face walking over to the large bath where Twlight and Fluttershy were relaxing.

“Oh uhm….Hi Tyler….would you uhm like to join us…..I mean you don’t have to…”Fluttershy said, hiding her face behind her mane as she usually did.

“Yeah the waters just fine, plus you’ll be able to get clean.” Twilight said

“Well I might as well….could you uhm….not look for a moment?” Tyler asked giving a quick glance at his towel. Twilight and Fluttershy just stared at him for a moment before it dawned on them causing Fluttershy to blush heavily and immediately look the other way, Twilight doing the same with a small chuckle.

Tyler took his towel off from around his waist and quickly got into the water, setting his towel nearby. “Ok it’s fine now.”

“You humans sure are strange, what’s the big deal about being naked?” Twilight asked as Tyler splashed water on his face, washing most of the dirt off.

“Well, in human society it’s frowned upon being naked in public, it’s kind of a law…..plus we are kind of a modest race, we don’t believe we should be naked without reason, or when around the right person.” Tyler replied as she washed more dirt off himself.

“The right person?” Fluttershy asked as she started to get out of the water.

“Well like say a doctor, or like….somebody special....or in your case somepony special I think you’d say?”

Fluttershy’s face once again turned red and she hid behind her mane “O-oh my….”

Twilight nodded before she levitated a notepad and quill over, vigorously scribbling away “Fascinating! So humans wear clothes due to a set of morals, laws, and even dignity!”

Tyler looked over at the purple unicorn scribbling onto her notepad.

“You just get a big stiffy for knowledge don’t you Twilight….?”

Twilight looked over to Tyler with a confused look on her face

“What’s a stiffy?” she asked, causing AppleJack and Pinkie Pie to giggle nearby.

Why doesn’t it surprise me she wouldn’t know? Tyler thought to himself as he started washing the rest of himself.

Tyler let out a sigh of relief as he sat in the sauna with his five pony friends and dragon acquaintance, enjoying the hot steam as it seemed to just ease his troubles away.

“Goodness did I need this….and it’s only been one day in this crazy town….” Tyler said

“Well ya’ll should get used to it sugarcube, you had the easier workload today. You don’t even know what it means to be workin’ for the Apple family.” AppleJack replied, causing Tyler to groan.

Outside of the sauna they heard the bell from the front door ring as somepony else entered the spa, then Lotus’ voice could be heard greeting the new guests.

“Oh hey Bon Bon, hey Lyra~!”

Tyler jolted upright and peeked out of the sauna seeing Lyra and Bon Bon standing at the entrance, “Oh crap!....Lyra just walked in!” He said as he looked back to AppleJack

“AppleJack you gotta help me! I can’t deal with another encounter with that crazy pony!”

“Alright Alright calm down, why don’t I distract her for ya? Then you can get your clothes then sneak out.” AppleJack replied as she trotted out and started talking to Lyra.

Tyler quickly sneaked out as he headed towards the closet he had left his clothes in, taking every step carefully until he stepped on a random bar of soap left in the middle of the floor (yes….completely random) and slipped, letting out a yell and falling flat on his back, immediately drawing the attention of all the ponies in the room as well as the others in the sauna who decided to peek out to see the commotion.

“Ugh….Who the hell leaves soap on the damn floor?” Tyler said as he stood up, looking around and seeing poor Fluttershy had turned redder than anybody ever thought possible and immediately hid behind her mane, Rarity had fainted, thankfully being caught by Spike who stared in confusion as all the other ponies in the room just stood there with their hooves over their mouths and their faces redder than ever.

“What….why are you all staring like that?” Tyler asked as he looked at the flustered ponies.

“Uhm….is it…’sposed to dangle like that?” AppleJack asked, causing Tyler’s face to go completely crimson as he looked down, seeing his towel had left him.

“…..Crap….”

WELL here it is! Chapter 5 FINALLY HERE and as per usual Constuctive criticism is appreciated, as well as suggestions and possibly help for new chapters as I have just barely gotten past the writer’s block of the century.

Chapter 6

Hey howdy hey guys! I’m proud to announce that updates can be expected to be more frequent now that I am on Winter break from college (AWESOME!) So I will write as much as I can to deliver you guys the story of Tyler’s endeavors in ponyville! And as this is also a slenderman fic expect more action with the slenderman to happen! So here it is coming at you super fast……

Chapter 6

The Workin’ Man

Tyler could only stand there frozen like a deer in headlights as everypony was staring at him in all his glory (or shame) red as a fresh tomato. Rarity was just recovering from fainting only to take another look at him and faint again, proving too much for spike to hold up anymore as she flattened him under her. Twilight had started scribbling rapidly in her notepad again, taking several glances at him and scribbling profusely, Applejack felt the need to show respect and cover her view with her hat, and Fluttershy never brought her face out from her mane until she felt it was right to do so.

Tyler just grabbed his towel and headed back towards the closet with the little dignity he had left as he shut the door behind him to get dressed.

“Well that was…..different….right Lyra?” Bon Bon said as she glanced over at Lyra whose entire face had turned bright red and her mouth hanging open.

“Uhm Lyra…..You’re drooling….” Bon Bon said as she snapped the unicorn out of her trance and she wiped her mouth with a chuckle.

“Uhm right….sorry….Uhm….I’ll just….be at home if you need me…and please knock first.” Lyra said as she backed out the door making sure she never turned around until she was outside, where she immediately galloped home as fast as she could.

“….I don’t even wanna know….” Bon Bon said as she facehoofed.

Tyler had an un-amused look on his face as he walked down the street with the seven mares and young dragon as they all were in a fit of laughter as they walked along.

“Ha ha laugh it up, laugh at the human who shall never be able to show his face at that spa again….” Tyler groaned as he buried his face in his hands.

“Oh cmon Tye, we’ve all had embarrassin moments….though probably not THAT embarassin.” Applejack said as she nudged his leg with her hoof.

“Applejack’s right Tyler, no need to feel ashamed about it. Besides you helped me further my studies on humans! I even got these great sketches for visual references.” Twilight said as she proudly displayed her notepad, filled with sketches of Tyler’s naked form.

Tyler’s head shot up from his hands as he looked at the notepad, his face turning crimson as he swiped at the notepad “GIVE ME THAT!”

Twilight pulled the notepad away from him quickly, causing him to fall onto the ground as he lost balance reaching for it.

“No way! This is important material I need for my studies on rare and possibly undiscovered species!”

Tyler sighed as he stood up and brushed the dirt off his clothes looking over to Bon Bon.

“By the way Bon Bon…..why did Lyra leave? Did I like freak her out or something?”

Bon Bon turned to Tyler with a blush on her face and looked around for a way to escape that question “Uhm….well…the uhm…..hey look over there!” she shouted pointing in a random direction with her hoof causing everybody to look in the direction, giving her a chance to run away leaving them there.

They all looked back to where Bon Bon previously was only to see empty space, they all looked at each other and shrugged.

Bon Bon trotted up to her front door and turned the knob only to find it was locked, and she had just remembered Lyra had the key. She reached out and knocked on the door shouting to hopefully get Lyra’s attention.

“Lyra open this door! It’s Bon Bon!”

Sounds of hooves rushing around and objects being shifted could be heard from inside as Bon Bon stood there waiting for her room-mate to open the door.

“Uhm….can you give me like five more minutes?” Lyra asked sheepishly from behind the door.

“Why would you need five more min--…..Oh Lyra What the hay is wrong with you!!!”

Tyler and Applejack parted ways with the others and headed back towards the farm in an awkward silence that Applejack decided to be the one to break.

“So uh…..how….do humans mate with it bein’…like that an’ all?” she asked with a blush creeping onto her face.

Tyler looked to her with a shocked expression before he started scratching the back of his head sheepishly as he tried to find the best way to explain it.

“Well uhm….you see….how do I put this….it’s only like that most of the time….but when humans go to mate…it….gets bigger I guess you could say.” Tyler said trying not to die from embarrassment right there.

“Wait, you’re saying it’ll get bigger than that? Like all on its own?” She asked with a tone of genuine curiosity.

“Can we change the subject please? I’d rather not give you a human anatomy lesson after what just happened….plus Twilight will probably beg me for one later too.” Tyler said as he quickened his pace towards the farm.

“Alright then sugarcube….So were you planning on trying to get your own home ehre in Ponyville? N-not that we don’t enjoy ya’ll bein’ here! I just thought maybe...you wanted to have your own place.” Applejack said as she caught up to him.

Tyler stopped in his tracks and turned to Applejack, suddenly smiling at her and picking her up and hugging her.

“That’s a great idea Applejack! I could get my own place in town, I always wanted my own place…..but how would I even be able to afford it?” he said as his hopes seemed dashed, setting Applejack down.

“Well maybe ya can look around town fer more work and save up until you can buy your own place? Ah’m sure Rarity could use an extra hoof –err hand around the boutique and maybe even some odd jobs around town will help you out.” She replied causing Tyler to smile brightly again and give her an almost bone crushing hug.

“Thank you Applejack, I’ll go and do that right now!” he said as he ran towards town leaving Applejack to catch her breath from his bear hug.

Tyler walked up to the Carousel Boutique and knocked on the door, waiting for an answer.

“Come in Darling~! The door is unlocked!” Rarity chimed from inside the shop. Tyler let himself in and found Rarity busy making a dress, wearing her red cat’s eye glasses as she sewed the fabric together.

“Oh Tyler! How may I help you today darling? Did you decide to let me make you an ensemble to replace your dreadful clothing?” Rarity said never taking her eyes off her work.

“Uhm no….and what’s wrong with my clothes?!” Tyler asked casuing Rarity to stop what she was doing and look at him sheepishly.

“Oh uhm…nothing dear…it’s just…uhm….What are you here for then?” she asked hoping to change the subject.

“Well I was thinking of buying my own place here in Ponyville but as we all know I’m broke, so I wanted to see if you needed a hired hand to help you around the boutique?”

Rarity’s eyes sparkled as she squeeled in delight running over to Tyler and dragging him over to her workstation.

“This is perfect darling! I needed some help with making these dresses that are reaching their deadline soon, and I can’t seem to get the help from my little Spikey-Wikey, and since you have appendages similar to his you’re perfect for the job!” she giddily replied as she started handing supplies for him to hold.

“Spikey-Wikey? Oh I’m going to have fun with that little nickname~” Tyler said deviously as he began to help Rarity.

The day went by as Tyler helped Rarity finish her dresses in time for her deadline, running every which way to grab the supplies she needed, realizing being a designers assistant was more than it seemed to be, he realized he had to give spike credit for being not only Twilight’s assistant but Rarity’s assistant on the side as well.

“Wow….you sure know how to work a guy…..but it seems we’ve gotten everything done.” Tyler said as he looked at all the dresses on the mannequins in Rarity’s workroom.

“Well it wouldn’t have been possible without your help darling, here this should help you along your way to buying a house.” Rarity replied as she levitated a decent sized bag full of bits into Tyler’s hand.

“Wow…this seems a bit much for just an afternoon of help….” Tyler began protesting

“Nonsense darling I’m just helping a friend out, and being generous is in my nature after-all I am the Element of Generosity.”

“Element of Generosity?....whatever that means…..” Tyler said as he exited the boutique leaving Rarity quite dumbfounded.

“He….he doesn’t know about the Elements of Harmony……Has he been under a rock for the past couple years?” Rarity seemed to ask nobody in particular.

Well sorry if it’s a bit short and crappy but I got bitten by the writing bug and just had to write something today, so here it is! And feel free to send me suggestions to help improve the story! You shall be credited! Shout out for Portal82 for the idea of Tyler getting multiple jobs around ponyville! The house idea was mine though but his idea spawned it

Chapter 7

WHAT’S THIS?! A NEW CHAPTER?! BLASPHEMY I SAY BLASPHEMY!

But seriously guys, I am loving the support and faves and followers of the story a hell of a lot more than I let on, just wish I could come up with chapters faster and they could be of better quality for you guys, I just love to get the feedback when a new chapter is posted. I have been under a creative block as of late and as a result began doing what I do best when in need of creativity….well nothing really normally creativity comes naturally to me so you can expect weirdly spaced out updates to the story as well as hopefully, better quality with the chapters as they come, but being an amateur fanfiction writer I will take what I can get and so far it’s a lot more than I though possible for a crappy writer like me, but enough of my ramblings here it is……in live action right before your eyes…..on your screen…not really live action…..wait for it…..almost there……aaaaaannnnndddd~

Chapter 7

Five more minutes?

Tyler woke up to the rays of Celestia’s sun beaming onto his face through the window. He sat up with a groan in the bed that was much too small for him and closed the curtains, mumbling something about a stupid sun and other words that could not be repeated in pleasant company. Tyler flopped back onto the bed and hid his face in his pillow only to hear the door creak open, causing him to look over to see his cowpony friend smiling as brightly as the sun was shining outside, he groaned and sat up, stretching his body causing several loud pops to echo through the room as he loosened his joints.

“How can you be so cheery in the morning? I can’t stand having to wake up early.” Tyler asked the orange mare who chuckled in response.

“An’ how can ya be so darn grumpy in the mornin’ mister? Cmon if ya’ll wanna be getting’ any closer to getting’ yerself a house in Ponyville ya gotta get up early an’ start workin’ your flank off.” She replied playfully jabbing him in the arm.

“Well you have a point there….” Tyler went to get out of bed before he felt the covers brush against his bare chest.

That’s odd……I coulda sworn I went to sleep with a shirt on. Tyler thought as he felt blanket brush against his chest.

Daring to take a peek under the covers Tyler barely lifted the covers, confirming a rather awkward suspicion.

“Applejack…….Didn’t I go to bed fully clothed? Or was I just that tired?” he asked as a blush creeped onto his face and he kept the covers firmly placed over his lower half.

“Ohhhhh, sorry bout that sugarcube, but yer clothes were getting so dirty and since it’s pretty much the only clothes ya’ll brought with ya I took the liberty of washing them for ya.” She replied with a proud smile as she presented him with his neatly folded and now pleasant smelling clothes.

“…..So you stripped me in my sleep?”

Applejack nodded and set the clothes onto his lap “Well shucks sugarcube when you put it that way it doesn’t sound all too pleasant.”

“Oh what’s it matter….you already saw me naked before….” Tyler mumbled out before grabbing his clothes and awkwardly trying to dress his lower self under the covers.

“…..So uhm….remember that whole thing you told me about how the whole…matin’ thing works for humans?” She asked as she traced circles along the floor with one of her forehooves with a blush creeping onto her face.

“Yeah what about it?” Tyler asked after slipping his boxers and jeans on under the covers, pushing the blanket aside and turning to face Applejack.

“Well….while I was uhm….gettin’ yer clothes to wash ‘em…..I guess you were dreaming about matin’?”

Tyler just froze in place, not moving so much as an inch as he let Applejack’s statement settle in. After about 5 seconds of complete and utter silence Tyler just buttoned and zipped his jeans, walking out of the room without another word, leaving a confused orange pony behind.

Bonbon groaned as Lyra trotted back and forth across the living room floor, seemingly to be deep in thought or restless.

“Bit for your thoughts?” Bonbon asked causing Lyra to jump a bit from the sudden noise of her room-mate.

“There are so many things about humans that I still don’t even understand, even after all the time I have spent studying their kind with what little knowledge or records I could find! I mean, did you get a look at his-?”

“DON’T....remind me….I think everypony in that spa saw Lyra…..and if you want to know more about humans then just go ask him already! He doesn’t think you’re a psycho anymore. At least I think he doesn’t.” suggested the cream mare as she sat on the couch, watching her friend resume her pacing.

“It’s easier said than done Bonbon! I have always wanted to talk to a human but whenever I get close to him I just sorta….freakout.” Lyra replied as she came to a stop in the middle of the floor.

“Lyra you sound like a schoolfilly with a silly little crush!.....Though to be honest it wouldn’t surprise me with how weird you’ve been lately since this all started.”

“You’re right Bonbon….about me being silly I mean. Not the crush. T-that’d be weird right?” the aquamarine mare replied shifting uncomfortably on her hooves before heading to the door “I-I’m going to go get some fresh air and get my head straight before I go to talk to him.”

“Just don’t freak out on him again and end up doing something you’ll regret, and will embarrass me.”

“Ok MOM” Lyra said with a mocking tone before closing the door behind her

“That boy’s lucky he can run so fast…” Bonbon sighed as trotted across the living room, unable to shake the feeling that part of the floor felt as if it had a groove in it.

Tyler walked through the town towards the large oak tree, made library, to speak with his new lavender unicorn friend.

Hopefully Twilight will know how much a house here should cost me. That bookworm has to know something that simple….I wonder what Rarity was talking about last night anyways, Element of Generosity…..Eh maybe I’ll ask Twilight, for all I know it could be another weird pony thing.

Tyler walked up to the door and lightly knocked, tapping his foot as he waited for an answer, being met with Spike opening the door and looking up at him with bright green eyes.

“Oh hi Tyler! Need something?”

“Hi there…Spike right? I was hoping to talk with Twilight about something, if she’s not busy or whatever.” Tyler said as the dragon ushered him through the doorway.

“Sure thing, I think she’s down in the basement putting a report together on humans with what she gathered so far from you. You just wait here and I’ll go get her.” Spike said as he walked down the stairs leaving Tyler to browse the bookshelves idly.

“Wonder if she has any manga…..”

“Twilight! Are you down here?” Spike called out as he walked down the steps to Twilight’s basement laboratory.

Twilight looked up from her notes and smiled at the purple dragon walking down the steps.

“Hey Spike, need something?” she asked as she turned to face him.

“Yeah, Tyler came for a visit, said he wanted to talk to you about something.”

Twilight clopped her forehooves together and squealed with glee “This is perfect! I can ask him more about humans for my report! Plus I can hopefully get his cooperation for better understanding of human mating behaviors.” Twilight carried on with her nerdy rant as she trotted up the stairs, Spike following closely behind.

“Hi Tyler! What did you want to talk about?”

Tyler jumped and almost dropped the book he was flipping through turning to see Twilight smiling at him.

“Geez Twilight don’t scare me like that….Anyways I was hoping you’d know what a house here would cost? I wanna have a general number to strive for, plus to add the price of at least a bed and other furniture. Can’t very well sleep on the floor.”

“Well I’m not so sure about the exact price on the housing market right now, might want to talk to the mayor about that. But there are furniture stores we can visit to get a price for the furniture you will need, I needed to pick up some more quills anyways.” Twilight said as she trotted towards the door.

“Ok then, that’s a start I guess.” Tyler replied as he shrugged and followed her to the door, that was encompassed in a light purple glow as Twilight opened it.

That will never stop being cool for me. Tyler thought to himself as his inner nerd took over.

“Uhm I think this one’s a bit too small….”

“What was your first idea?” Tyler replied as he layed on the bed, his legs hanging over the footboard at his knees, the bed making him seem like a giant trying to sleep in a normal sized person’s bed.

Twilight couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched his long legs just dangle over the end of the bed.

“Well I knew this wasn’t going to be easy…..they don’t exactly make human sized beds you know.” Twilight replied as she looked at more beds throughout the furniture store

Tyler sighed and followed her around for about half an hour, until they finally came upon the perfect bed for him. He decided to take it for a test run and lied down on the bed.

“This is definitely it.” He sighed contentedly as he stretched out on the bed

“Wow it’s actually perfect for you, let’s get a price for it.” Twilight replied as she trotted over to an older mare with a gray coat and powder blue mane.

“Excuse me ma’am how much for that bed over there?” Twilight asked as she pointed over to the bed Tyler was on with her hoof.

“Ahhhh that’s a fine bed over there dear, it’ll run you about 200 bits.” The older mare replied.

“Hmmm alright then, we’ll be back for it when the time comes.” Twilight said before walking over to Tyler.

“The bed will run cost about 200 bits, cmon we have to look at prices for more furniture and the price of the house itself.”

“Awwwww can’t I just stay here for five more minutes?” Tyler whined much like a child

“Quit fooling around let’s go.”

“Can’t hear you I’m asleep.” Tyler said as he faked very loud snoring.

Twilight picked him up with her magic and carried him towards the door with relative ease. Tyler just pouted with his arms crossed as she carried him behind her.

“Party pooper…..”

As the sun reached it’s peak in the sky Tyler and Twilight were headed towards the center of town with a list of numbers and a grand total underneath them.

“So for the house, furniture, and other necessities you will need to earn at least…..two thousand, three hundred and forty-two bits.” Twilight said as she finished up her math work.

“Geez, guess I gotta do a lot more work around this town if I want to get a house anytime soon. Know anywhere that might need a human?”

“Well I heard Aloe and Lotus were looking for a new masseuse at the spa…..but I don’t know if they’d hire a human with questionable experience.” Twilight sighed.

“I could at least try, I mean I don’t know much about massage but heck I could try it, plus it’d probably be a decent source of income.” Tyler replied as he scratched his head.

“Well you go ahead and check that out, I’d better get back to the library.” Twilight trotted off leaving Tyler to himself as he walked in the direction of the spa.

“Hopefully they won’t be too uncomfortable with me after yesterdays incident……or for some strange reason thrilled…..” Tyler said as he approached the spa.
