Part 4 to the "Maybe I could..." series

This is part 4th to the "Maybe I could." Follow the characters from the maybe i could series through there new adventure. This is the fourth story in the series I suggest to new views to read the others first. You don't have to read the others because this is a start to a new story but if you want a better understanding as to why you're in Equestria and the back story to the characters. My stories are not to long because each story is more like a chapter to a large story, there may be some spelling issues in the older ones but it should not ruin the story. Too those who have read the others I hope you like the continues.

Chapter 1

Maybe I could start to understand

Maybe It’s not…

The cold night hits against your body like little needles you don’t know where you’re going but for some reason you don’t care, you look down to your side and Twilight is beside you. She looks up at you and smiles as you enter a big open room there’s upbeat music playing in the room is bright and seems to be decorated for some kind of party, there's all kinds of ponies in the room. There’s a row of tables along the wall there’s foods of all sorts and there’s punch bowls filled with all kinds of colors. Ponies are around the tables eating and drinking, everyone seems to be having a good time. You walk over to a great stone statue in the middle of the room and stare at the stone work. You notice the music has stopped and it’s really quite, you look around the room and everyone seems to be staring at something you ask what everyone looking at but no one answers. You walk over to what everyone looking at… and there you see it Twilight is lying on the floor in a pool of some red substance. You run over to Twilight you’re breathing is stressed and the room feels as though it’s spinning your holding back tears fearing that the red is blood. As your hand touches her purple coat you get a strange feeling you snap your hand back and watch as it begins to turn black. You shake your hand furiously trying to knock whatever has gotten onto it off, it’s no use. The color change creeps up your arm slowly you watch with your mouth a gasp you have no idea what to do. The color change has started up to your face and down to your legs you again try to fling the color off but this time you get some off only the dark substance is not the only thing that has come off you watch as your right arm hits the ground beside you with a loud thump it flops around still slightly moving the fingers from how you were flailing. You scream in terror as it dissolves into the ground, your screams don’t last long as your left side of your face begins to droops down and feels like its falling off.

You hear a faint calling of your name in the distance but its hard to hear with only half a face you, the collapsing of your body has not stopped your left arm breaks off, you start falling to the ground next to Twilight.

As you hit the ground you wake up…

Your eyes shoot open, you are panting as your eyes madly dart back and forth until they focus on Twilight's face next to your bed.

Her big purple eyes slowly calm you down as you stare at her. “Are you ok?” she says

You’re still a little shook up from your terrible and a bit creepy nightmare you just awoke from so you just give a nod.

“Are you sure because you were screaming in your sleep and I have never heard you or anypony do that.” Her sarcastic voice means she already knows there’s something wrong.

You tell her that you had a dream that wasn’t the best kind to have; you of course leave the part about her out of it. “But it’s no big deal” you say.

She smiles and brings her hoof to her chest in a proud manner “I have studied dreams in a few books I have read; no big deal ha, dreams are our subconscious selves trying to live out something we do or don’t want to happen.”

She looks to you with a motion with her hoof to continue.

You shake your head “I’ll tell you some other time Twilight.”

“Promise?” she says

You nod

“Good, now get dressed we're going out.”

Going out? It’s at this point you realize she is wearing a blue saddle with a plush white outline and she has bright purple boots on. You have never seen her dressed up before, well other than dogs you never have seen animals dressed up before.

She walks out of the room, you wonder to yourself why is she wearing that? You move to the window across the room and look outside your shocked to see snow atop every roof and snow is falling and you can feel the cold air on the window hitting your face. No way it was definitely not cold or snowy yesterday when you went to sleep.

Twilight comes back into the room “Are you ready to go?”

You look down at the same clothes you have worn since you first arrived here and think to yourself well I won’t die of frostbite that fast will I?

You nod your head and say you’re ready as you follow Twilight out into the cold winter wonder land that has formed outside the cozy tree library.

O GOD its cold you shiver as the door closes behind you. You’re too cold to talk so you follow close behind Twilight in silence as you start down a dirt road into town.

As you walk into town you see ponies of all shapes and sizes you watch as little ponies play in the snow you’re surprised when one throws a snowball at the other. At first you think your brain is playing tricks on you, sure you have known Twilight for a while but you still find it amazing there is a world of ponies that are so similar to humans.

Your mind starts to escape you, almost as fast as your ability to stop walking, in your absent mindedness you have walked into a fruit stand. First thought is hey look apple next thought my FOOT! Apples roll off the stand and onto the ground. An orange colored pony runs over yelling in a feminine southern accent “HEY get away from my apples!”

Well she’s angry maybe she will let me explain first…NOPE she charges into you and knocks you down.

*End of chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 (Not everything is bruised)

As you sit on your butt listening to the orange pony scolds you for destroying her stand, you try holding back a smile because at this point her accent is now cute and no longer threatening also the freckles on her snot take away from her serious face.

Twilight has made her way back to you and is now trying to explain how you’re new to town and just had a mishap.

The orange pony looks back at you “Shoot all you had to say was yall was Twilights friend… next time just be more careful, the names Applejack.” She extends her hoof to you

You smile a bit at the gesture, this is the best meeting of a pony you have ever had your not in terrible pain from a fall nor is she trying to kill you with a death like laser magic thing.

You happily grab her hoof and shake

“Now if you excuse me I have to get back to work these apples won’t sell themselves.” She turns to face Twilight again “Yall should come by the farm later I’d love to get more acquainted.”

“We'll see but first we're going to see Rarity about getting him some new clothes.” She looks to you “I think we should get going you look cold.”

Look cold? She must be a mind reader because you have only been shivering since you left the house. But you would never say this you're too nice for sarcasm you nod in agreement to her statement.

She says goodbye to Applejack and you again start back down the road, you're thankful your little meeting with Applejack didn’t cause too big of a scene you don’t want all these ponies thinking you’re a monster… now that you think about it the last time you were in this town you were being lead down the street by a blue Pegasus like a criminal. Huh hope no one remembers that.

Twilight snaps you out of your mind trap with saying you have arrived at Rarity boutique. The large luxurious building that resembled those found in Canterlot really sticks out from all the other hay covered roof found in Ponyville. Again you’re amazed how smart these ponies are.

You follow in Twilight into the building as she call Rarity’s name, Twilight looks at you “Oh you're going to like Rarity she’s the most generous pony I know, she is the element of harmony you know.”

You nod at her comment in all truth when she told you the story of the elements of harmony your mind was stuck on star wars.

You hear an elegant feminine voice calling out from another part of the building “coming Twilight.”

You watch as a white unicorn pony with indigo colored mane walks into the room “Oh Twilight I was wondering when I would see you…What is that thing!”

Her hoof is pointed out at you and her face is in shock

You look at Twilight thinking to yourself ya generous one a?

Twilight cuts in “Rarity that’s not very lady like of you.”

The white pony puts her hoof down “My apologies It just I have never seen anything like you before darling, what are you?”

You open your mouth to say something but Twilight has already started for you

“He is my friend from the human world he was the one that kept me safe while I was gone.”

Rarity’s face changes into more of a relaxed look “My apologies darling I just had forgotten how you described him.”

She looks to you “Hello”

You just wave your hand at her

“Now Twilight what brings you here?” says Rarity

“Oh well he has chosen to stay here in Equestria and he is in need of some new clothes” she smiles sheepishly at Rarity “I figured you would be able to make something for him seeing as how you're such a good designer.”

Rarity studies you for a moment “Well I suppose I could make something using spikes designs, I just need to take some measurements first.”

She motions for you to get closer as she levitates a measuring tape towards her.

You walk over and do as you’re told as she takes the measurements, as your measurements are getting taken you look around the room, there are pony manikins on one side of the room and rolls of fabrics of all shades and colors sprawled across a bed and the floor along with poking out from cabinets and drawers, it looks like a mess but you feel like it's organized chaos, it reminds you of how you would keep your house.

She is fast on taking the measurements and is now talking to Twilight about some old adventure they must have gone on, you listen in but have almost no idea as to what they're talking about. Rarity directs the conversation towards you “Oh sorry I got side track you can sit down if you want I have the measurement and I should have something made in a few hours.

You’re surprised at her comment about only taking a few hours,You remember one time taking a suit to a tailor and it took almost a whole damn day to sew a pocket onto the damn thing.

Twilight looks at you “We should get going I have a few things back at the library to show you.”

You dread the thought of leaving the warm building but you nod and follow her as she walks out saying good bye to Rarity.

Great is all you whisper to yourself as the cold air hits your body.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 (Long day)

You make your way back to the library, when you finally get back to the library you can’t feel your face.

You stand in the doorway trying to warm up, Twilight give a little giggle as she talks “I didn’t know humans hated the cold so much.”

You give a little smile to her comment, you think you yourself she did that on purpose for not taking her anywhere when she was on Earth, really though a talking pony on Earth she would had been killed! And there it is again your mind replays what you saw in your dream early that day, the thought of her being hurt makes you sad and your eyes start to water a bit.

Twilight notices your change in addition “Are you ok?”

You nod

She stares at you “You know talking about things is the only way to accept things, you listened to me when I was on your world maybe I could help with any problems.”

You shake your head “No really I’m fine Twilight”
You fake a smile until she gets bored and starts walking away, yes fake smile achievement unlocked, again videogames why you ruin my life.

She walks into the other room “I’ll find Spike so we can eat lunch before we go back to Rarity’s.”

Oh great back to the frozen wonderland you think.

Twilight callouts Spikes name and after a few minutes he appears on top of the staircase that leads up to the guest room well your room now.

“Ah there you are Spike you want to come with us to Sugarcube corner for lunch.”

He rubs his eyes “No I would rather sleep sorry Twilight.”

“Suit yourself Spike come get me if you need me.”

You wish you could just say no to eating food but you and your stomach know there is no going back now that food has been mentioned.

You struggle to bring yourself to follow her but your stomach takes over and you follow her out of the nice warm building.

You and Twilight arrive at a building that looks like its made of gingerbread cupcakes and frosting, the sign on the front of the building read ‘Sugarcube corner’ you think to yourself o willy wonka must live here.

As you near the door you hear a high pitched feminine voice from inside scream out Twilights name “Twilight HI!”

The door to building fly open and a Pink pony jumps out, her hair looks like cotton candy and she smells like cakes and pies.

The pink pony stops jumping as she leaves the door “Who’s this Twilight?”

Twilight gestures to you with her hoof and says your name “This is who I stayed with when I was away and now…”

Twilight is cut off mid sentence as the pink pony leaps into the air “ HE IS NEW TO PONYVILLE!?”
The pink pony is now hyperactive and just saying random nonsense to you have of which you don’t understand but you try to listen in as she talks

“HII’mPinkiepiebutmyfriendscallmepinkiesoyoucancallmepinkie!Heydoyouknowwhatwouldbe fun!? If we sung a song I love songs! Doyoulikecupcakes I love cupcakes are you hungry becausemeandMrs.Cakejustmadesome, oh you probably don’t know who that is oh she’s great, howdoyoulikeitheredoyoulikeitsofarhaveyou…
Twilight sticks her hoof over Pinkie’s mouth “Pinkie.” Twilight stares at Pinkie and then moves her hoof from her mouth.

The pink pony is now a little calm as she talks “Sorry it’s just so exciting to me some new pony.” “You two here for lunch?”

Twilight shakes her head “Yes we are I figured if you have someone new in Ponyville the best place to show them to eat at is here.”

Pinkie grabs Twilight “you're right come in!” she pulls her into the building and you follow, again you still find it weird how these ponies act like humans some much but you really have stop questing things if you can be sucked to another world by a letter then anything is probably true, before you walk inside you look up at the sky for flying pigs because well why not.

You’re seated at a table in the corner of room, you looks around at all the other ponies they don’t really turn there heads to look at you but you know there silently judging you.

Twilight must sense what your think “You do know everyone here is very tolerant of outsiders… will accept zebras, rabbits, dragons and any other kind of monster you don’t look treating you look kind of cute.” She blushes at what she just said and stammers for an excuse “Well umm what I meant was.. uh you look different.. but in like a good way.” She laughs at her own dumb cover up.

You just give a respectful laugh, but in your mind you're thinking did Twilight just call me cute? You push the thought out of the way it’s not that you don’t like her it’s just you think of her more as a dog or something well a talking dog that shoots magic and has really sweet eyes… dame now you're thinking about it again.

Your mind is set at ease as Pinkie brings over a plate of cupcakes. They look great they have pink frosting on them and smell vanilla. You both finish the plates and Pinkie again brings more, as you eat your second plat you wonder if cupcakes are a good thing to eat as a first meal all day… oh well diabetes might not exist in a pony world. By the time you leave the bakery with Twilight you’re full out of your mind, when you finally get back into the library the only thing you can think about is sleep you can't tell if it’s the weather or maybe there way something in the cupcakes but you walk right up the stairs after saying goodnight to Twilight commented on how it has been a long day and said good night.
It looks too early to go to sleep but you don’t care you climb into your bed and fall asleep.

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 (Just another pony)

You open your eyes slowly as to not get blinded by the sun coming in from the window. You thought your ear rape alarm clock was bad now you wish for it; the window in your room has the sun shine right into your face right on to your eyes. Your eyes adjust to the bright room and you see an owl on a bookshelf close to the window. You look at the owl for a few minutes.

You decide to take a shot at your people skills… owl skills “hey there buddy…what’s up?”

“who?” the owl replies

You figure it wants to know your name so you say it.

“who?”

You again say your name in a louder voice still trying to be polite.

“who?”

You stare at the owl for a few minutes “You don’t talk do you?”

The owl replies once again “who?”

You realize how stupid you must look for trying to talk to an owl good thing no one saw that…

“Are you trying to talk to the owl?”

Dang so close, you turn to Spike voice, you shrug.

Spike laughs “I made the same mistake when he first showed up.”

You smile at that remark, “where’s Twilight?” Spike nods his head down the stairs “she’s writing a letter to the Princess.”
You get up from the bed and head down the stairs Spike calls back from your room “Oh no that’s fine I'll just make your bed…again.” You stop for a second but think to yourself naw he’s got this.
You walk to where Twilight is working; she’s standing at a podium using her magic to write. She looks towards you as you enter the room “Hey you're up! Rarity came by yesterday and brought you a coat and new pants.”

You look over to a human sized coat and jean like material pants hanging on a chair next to Twilight.

You walk over to the clothes and try on the coat, not bad you think to yourself, you’re surprised how well it fits. You look towards Twilight “What are you doing?”

Twilight continues to write “I’m writing a letter to the Princess on how your first day was.”

She looks back at you “Yesterday was kind of like a test to see how well ponies would accept having a human around.” “You would say it went well right?”

You nod

“Great now you need to write what you think.” She floats a piece of paper over to you and a quill.

You know you were supposed to write something for the Princess you just didn’t know that was today.

You sit down in a nearby chair next to a table and start writing; Twilight brings you a plate with some eggs and a piece of pie “Spike said you didn’t eat yet so here you go” You thank her, you stare at the pie before eating yep there better not be any such thing as diabetes. After you’re what you guess was breakfast you start your letter.

(Hours latter)

For once you're happy with some of the pointless classes you were forced to take back on Earth, that creative writing class really helped, you look over some of the things you wrote.... close enough.

You fold the letter and leave it on the table.

You’re getting ready to go find Twilight when you hear a familiar tomboyish voice “Hay Twilight do you have the new Daring… Hey what are you still doing here?”

It’s the light blue pegasus that you met when you first arrived you wave your hand at her

The pegasus continues talking “I thought you were going to see Twilight to get you back home?”

You’re about to try and explain what happen but Twilight comes back into the room
“Hi rainbow.”

Rainbow dash looks at Twilight and points to you “What’s this guy still doing here?”

Twilight looks at you then back to her “That’s a long story Rainbow i'll have to tell you another time, but what brings you bye.”

The tomboyish voice changes into a more cracked voice as she rubs the back of her head with her hoof “Oh well umm I wanted to know if you got the new book in yet.”

Twilight happy trots towards one of the bookshelf “Ya I have it right her dash”

Twilight floats a book over to rainbow, she tucks it under her wing and then looks to you “Hey buddy keep your mouth shut about this I don’t need some new guy wrecking my reputation got it?”

You laugh at her tone she’s trying to be intimidating but the voice cracks don’t sound too threatening.

“Oh you want to go tough guy?” her tone is more raised and her wings fly open dropping the book on the ground.

This is the second time you have met her and the second time she wants to fight, you tell yourself she don’t know who she’s messing with you have played enough mortal combat and seen enough chuck Norris roundhouse kicks to know how to fight.

But you don’t get to prove your self Twilight raises her voice “Stop! Rainbow you know to be nice to other ponies” Rainbow looks at the ground Twilight then turns her face to you “And how would you feel if the Princess finds out you fought somepony on your second day of being here? “ You look at rainbow and apologize she does the same,

“Hey we may have got off on the wrong hoof, we'll meet up sometime and start right, ok?”

You nod

Twilight says goodbye to Rainbow and you watch her leave.

As the door closes you think to yourself ya I can take her.

* end of chapter 4

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 (Time flies almost as fast as Rainbow dash)

It’s been a few weeks since you decide to stay here in Equestria, You think back about the last few weeks as you write your newest letter to Celestia.

Dear Celestia,

Hey how’s it going? So far from what I have learned here in my past few weeks is that we're more alike than I first thought.

You think about the things you have done over the last few weeks you remember watching Rainbow dash do tricks, you laugh at how she leaves a trail of rainbow behind her as she flies. You can still hear Twilight’s voice in your head from when she explained how Rainbows tail hits the light at a fast speed to make the color. You look back at the paper so far so good you continue writing

I thank you for the new bed you sent it’s a lot more comfortable than the old bed.

Your mind again start taking you away from your writing as you remember last week when you and Twilight went to help Applejack ‘buck trees’ as they called it; you smile at remembering how many times you said fuck instead of buck it was embarrassing but the worst part was how Twilight would try and correct you each time.

Oh and i'm finally starting to understand the weather system you ponies have.
I also am starting to understand more on how love and tolerance is a form of magic. I look forward to my first Pony part tomorrow; i'll tell you how that goes.

That’s all for now

Your faithful Human.

You look at the letter and say close enough you fold the letter and leave it on the table like you do every week.

Twilight always sits next to you when you write these things and she always comments

“A little short this time hu?”

You offer an excuse “Well I can’t write anything about love and tolerance without going to one of these parties you ponies have.”

Twilight smiles “Well that is true”

Spike grabs the letter off the table and blows his green fire at the letter, you never quite understood how that is mail but whatever.
Spike claps his claws happily “I can’t wait till the Night before Wrap up party! I hope Rarity got my letter.”

Twilight laughs at Spikes comment “Oh i'm sure she did you only left it on her door, bed, workbench and all the windows.”

You laugh at her joke you know the little purple dragon has a crush on the white pony but you and Twilight both agree he doesn't have a shoot.

Spike looks at Twilight “Who are you going with to the party?”

Twilight looks towards you “Oh I don’t know.”

For the last couple of weeks you have know about this party and you know Twilight has hinted around about being her ‘friend she goes with’

You smile back at Twilight, you figure you don’t have to say anything because you both know you have to go but you must have a ‘date’ to get in obviously you are going with Twilight you don’t really know any other pony like you know her.

Twilight makes a joke “will you be picking me up at 7?”

You laugh as you walk up the stairs to your bed, you lie in bed for a few moments thinking about tomorrow…you wish you didn’t have to sleep the nightmares you have had always seem to get worse towards the end of the week… you close your eyes and hope that tonight you don’t have the same dream…

Chapter 5 end…

"Maybe it's not so..."
