Chapters "Windy!" you shout, your eyes snapped open are met not with
"how in the hell?" you say, but you don't care really because your alive, By some unfathomable way you're alive and that's what counts. you attempt to get up but shoot down the notion,
"Now what? sit here and die of blood loss?" you groan, your right if you don't get help soon that's exactly whats going to happen. You lean back and meet a tree, an oak tree as it would seem. You sigh, knowing that in a place like this yelling for help would be fruitless. Several minutes pass and you're still sitting under that tree, but
"Damn" you muster, right before losing consciousnesses.
*****
*Beep Beep Beep*
"Ung"
*Beep Beep Beep*
"Unng five more minutes"
Wait what?
"wahhh!" you scream out coming to your senses. quickly taking in your surroundings you notice hospital equipment, white walls and that unmistakable sterile smell. "so it was just a dream" you sigh putting your hands on your face.
"What was just a dream?" a voice, female as it would sound, Says from another point of the room.
"What? nothing" you say still with your face in your hands"
Standing a few feet away from you is a-a Pony? not only is a pony in a hospital but it appears to be wearing a nurse outfit and is reading a medical chart. at this point the heart monitor your attached to is going nuts and the... pony noticed.
"sir are you alright?"
It spoke. It just fucking spoke. a pony dressed as a nurse just spook the English language.well you need answers, get a hold of your self!
"Tell me uhh Nurse Uhh...?"
"Redheart"
"nurse Redheart" nice ring to that "what drugs am i on?"
"lets see" she starts as she grabs the medical chart and flips to a page "just some ibuprofen" (pain killers) "why?"
if your knowledge is still remotely useful in you current condition ibuprofen means painkillers. And as far as you know painkillers don't cause people to see stuff like... well like this.
"oh, well, that's cool, ya, Shi-" those are you last words before you faint on the bed.
*****
"wow he is weird!"
what the hell was that?
"Shh pinkie keep your voice down!"
"Unng"
"oh great you woke it up"
You sit up in the hospital bed you currently reside in and look around
"umm hello?" you say, still very much bothered by the whole talking pony thing
"wowie it can talk!" said the pink pony holding back its excitement
"yes, i can talk. And who or what the hell are you?"
"umm where ponies" this time the purple one spoke "as of who we are,
"No, I kinda got the pony part, i was asking how can you talk?"
"we have always been able to talk" she replied
"riiight, alright, you got me! come out with the funny cameras!" you yell out.
"Y'allright there partner?" the orange pony spoke this time
"What do you think" you say face palming. so lets recap on the recent events. 1. you brother is dead. 2. you've been shot. 3. your now talking to ponies, not exactly how you expected your day to work out.
You flop back down on the bed and sigh. what else could go wrong? "well if your feeling any better we can show you around town?" the purple pony started, twilight was her name you think. "then we can organize your temporary residence" she continued "then after that work on send you back to where you came from".
you snap upwards "Back!?" you start "No! i can't go back!"now you've done it now you have to make an excuse.
"I-i- don't want to talk about it" you say as the memories of the past week shoot though your mind. "alright, well your clothing had to be... destroyed, from all the blood on them so rarity made you some cloths their on that table" they don't pry and your thankful for that.
"umm thanks i guess"
with that the ponies left, leaving you to you thought and sorrow.
"what the hell?" you can't help but wonder the medical technology the ponies must have. you approach the table and pick up the cloths, gray boxers, jeans, and a light brown short sleeve shirt. Damn, whoever this rarity was they knew how to make cloths, even for the likes of yourself.
you get dressed and head out the door and approach the front desk.
You walk out the door and shield you eyes with your hand from the sun.
"There you are" she starts "i came to show you around town and introduce you to everypony"
"so you where waiting here for me?"
"of course!"
at this point you've put on a quizzical expression.
"Uh, cant have someone like you running around here" she says turning away from you. Was that a blush you just saw? No. you probably just lost to much blood and your now seeing things, right? At this point twilight has already started walking while you where in a state of confusion.
"come on!"
*****
After what seemed like forever the tour of Ponyville was over. now you where standing outside of a giant tree house. "And this is my home" she says whilst opening the door with her magic.
Magic, you saw it being used a few times during you tour and you have yet to even begin how to comprehend how it works. And somehow you didn't notice the fact the twilight was a unicorn.
"I live here with my assistant spike"
"Spike? not like the other pony names I have heard"
This made twilight giggle slightly " he's a Dragon not a pony"
This startled you "d-d-dragon?"
"yes you don't have those where you come from?"
"last time i checked... no"
"well. if you want you can stay here with me" her voice sounding very slightly nervous.
"um, i would like that, thank you Twilight"
this made her smile. you... actually quite enjoyed her smile.
"well can you take a seat over there" she said gesturing to a chair.
stairs. using this time you looked around the room and took in the large amount of books. The sound of someone walking down the stairs snaps you from your thoughts.
"if its alright with you I would like to get some notes about yourself.
you being well..."
"i'm a human"
"alright, shall we get started?"
It seems strange but it cant hurt can it?
Chapter Two: Rude awakening
(Spelling are grammar checks welcome)
"Gender?"
"Male"
"Age?"
"18"
"Build on scale from one to ten?"
You had to pause for this one, you're not one to boast or anything but you are pretty fit, guess it comes with growing up in a dangerous neighborhood.
"mmmmm, an eight"
"alright, Family?"
Should of seen this coming. You take a long sigh, Better sooner then later I guess
"None"
"What?" Twilight started "no parents?"
"no" your eyes drop to the floor.
"Siblings?"
"brother"
"ah, his age?"
"24, and... deceased... recently"
"oh... i'm so sorry"
"its not your fault, but can we perhaps finish this some other time?"
"sure thing" the purple pony replies. she closes the note book she had been writing in and sets it on the table in between the two of you. "Now, i'm starved, I'm going to make dinner, Uh, what to humans eat?" you don't exactly know how to reply, you've never had to explain what humans eat.
"Umm, Food?"
Twilight gives you a stern look.
"What?" you say with a sheepish smile, She just roles here eyes and continues walking to here kitchen.
*****
your dinner wasn't special just a salad with thin apple slices, but it was still pretty damn good. The meal was spent in silence you didn't mind but it was still a little awkward. Twilight gets up from the table to deposit her dishes in the sink and you're close in stride
You both deposit your dishes and Twilight levitates the sponge from the counter, you're quick to grab it.
"well, its getting late" twilight started and began walking toward the stairs "the guest room is just down the hall first door on the left"
*****
After finishing the dishes you head toward the door that twilight described and open the door, the room is a decent size. its furnished with a single bed a dresser and a small bed side table with a lamp. The flop onto the bed, its been a long day and your spent. You close your eyes and you welcome sleep with open arms.
You turn the corner and begin to walk down the street to your house, Max close in stride, you can see your house now, then something jumps in your path. the next thing you know your being shoved to the left and then you here the unmistakable sound of a gun begin fired. "Run!" you turn and begin to haul ass down the road.
The last thing you hear before the sound of your breathing overtakes all else is one more bang.
You wake up and quickly sit up in bed, your panting and sweating. You slowly rise out of bed and decide to head for the balcony, some fresh air could do you some good.
When you open the balcony door you see twilight already outside looking up at the night sky.
"can't sleep either huh?" you say as you walk towards the purple unicorn and stand next to her on the balcony, Placing your hands on the railings to support your weight.
"No" a quick and simple reply, strange coming from a -as you can tell- very talkative pony. you both spend the next several minutes just sitting together in silence, taking in the beautiful midnight sky and the peaceful scenery of the quiet town. you have never experienced a sight quite like this, the city you lived in was always bustling with sounds and lights.
"Hey, um can i ask you something?" Twilight says finally breaking the blissful silence.
"Go ahead, shoot"
"well... i a..."
"yes?"
"I was just wondering..."
"wondering what?"
"Never mind" she quickly stammered as she turns and walked towards the door. "Goodnight"
"goodnight twilight and thanks... again".
She just simply smiled and went back inside. I wonder what she wanted to tell me you shrug at the thought and return your gaze back to the sleeping town. you wish you could stay here forever but nothing lasts forever so you make your way towards the door. before you enter however you steal one last glance at the moon.
*****
The sun, the sun -if your brother taught you correctly- is over 100,000,000 kilometers away from earth, although this isn't earth, you wager its about the same distance, Yet somehow its light can still travel many light years and hit a target the size of your fist. The target in this case is a gap in the curtain and the light is shining directly on your face.
You cover your face with the pillow in an attempt to block out the light and go back to sleep but its futile. Your already wide awake, you slowly but surely get out from the covers and the bed and begin to stretch before you move any further. after a private display of popping sounds and groaning you make you way toward the door.
(A/N: If you just thought what I think you just thought you're a sick minded bastard)
Immediately after you open the door you are met with an overwhelming smell. instead of going across the hall to the bathroom like you initially planed you walk towards the kitchen, when you arrive you are met with a warm smile from Twilight and a plate of pancakes complete with whipped cream, raspberries, blue berries and syrup. Pancakes? God, you can't remember the last time you had pancakes.
you sit down at the table and grab the fork, you look up to twilight before you begin. you cut a small piece from the pancake and slowly raise it to your lips, its sweet smell beckoning you to take a bite. And so you do and it was magnificent, the mix of the berries and syrup blended perfectly but did not overpower your senses. the pancakes themselves where brilliant in there own way, soft and light but still crispy. Best pancakes ever.
You finish quickly after your first bite and are now standing in front of the sink washing your plate. you gesture to clean Twilight's but she insisted otherwise. you return to the dining table and sat down and just began to lose you self in your own thoughts.
one of which thoughts was will any one miss you? or did they even know you are gone in the first place. you retract from your deep introspection and realize you have been staring at twilight the entire time. you quickly avert your gaze, hoping that she didn't notice you staring at her for the past five minutes.
after she finishes cleaning her dish she walk towards the table and sits in the seat adjacent to you.
"So" she starts " ill be going out for a while to run some errands and i will be back in a while, you'll be fine here right?
"sure thing" you say waving you hand dismissively.
"alright i will be back in an hour or two"
*****
And with that Twilight left, you where alone in her house with nothing to do. you begin you think of things to do, you look around and see nothing but books... Books! you walk towards the closest wall shelf and look what there is to read.seems like a good place to start.
Chapter Three: Meet the Trio
You snap the book shut and place it on the coffee table, blinking your eyes to refresh them, reading for hours really works wonders for the eyes (sarcasm) you think to yourself and stand up from the chair, stretching your tired limbs. "Not to mention the body" (more sarcasm) you mutter to yourself. "now what?", your gaze wanders to the window, "some fresh air will do me some good" you say as you walk towards the door of this over sized tree house.
You step outside, immediately you're met with a light breeze and the smell of clean country air. you step to the side and lean against the tree allowing you to lose yourself in thought, mainly one topic in particular: what a life here would be like. There is no crime, no pollution, its basically perfect. But there are downsides, getting a job for one, then there's getting along in a world full of talking ponies, then finally there is... relationships. You quickly shake your head to dismiss that thought but to know avail.
In a further attempt to dispel the thought you let your mind wander once again, hoping something else will pop into your head. If anything that only made it worse, you only threw another ingredient into the pot, that ingredient would be Twil---.
You tilt your head to one side from the strange sight, soon after you begin hearing whispers although you can't make out what is being said. Then before you know it three fillies jump out from the bush, after they brush themselves off they walk towards you with a hint of hesitation in each step.
"Howdy there!" the yellow filly starts "I'm Applebloom an' this here is Scootaloo and Sweetie belle" she said gesturing to her orange and white companions. You give the three fillies your name and they all repeat it with a sense of awe then focus back on you.
"We where just walking by when we saw you and we where just wonderi---"
"What are you?"
"Scootaloo!" sweetie belle said lightly smacking her friend on the shoulder.
"Its fine" you start, waving a hand dismissively with a chuckle "probably won't be the last time I hear that question" the trio now look at you with intent eyes.
"I'm a human".
"Human?" the fillies say in unison all looking at each other then back to you.
"Yeah, I thought as much" you mutter and face palm a little "lets see... ah, you know what a monkey is right... you know OOH OOH AHH AHH" you say doing your best monkey impression with your arms like the barrel monkeys, this made the girls go into a giggle fit. once they settled down you continued.
"Well I'm basically a monkey only smarter... and taller... and less hairy" you lift your arm and wave it around slightly, this gets another few giggles from the trio. "Well maybe not smarter but you get my point".
"Ohhh" they all say in awe.
"My little ponies!" twilight said approaching the four of you, levitating a bag of goods, don't you think you've bothered him enough".
"But twilight we were just asking hi---"
"no buts, run along".
"Aww" the three fillies groaned as they turned to depart, you gave them a wave as the trotted away.
"Twilight! umm... how long have you been there?"
"long enough to see your monkey impression" twilight said with a sheepish grin and a giggle.
"Right... well... I regret nothing" you say as you - being the gentleman you are - hold open the door for twilight.
She gives you a smile and heads inside. That smile... thoughts of previous enter your head once more, you give it a good shake, she's a pony damn it! An animal! You face palm with a deep sigh before you enter the house and close the door behind you.
*****
Two hours Earlier in pony ville market
Twilight was standing in the center of Pony Ville market looking over her list of groceries she needed to purchase: Bread, eggs, lettuce, hay, some basic things. However she was barely focused on the task at hand, a rare thing to happen to to a pony such as Twilight. her mind was filled of thought, of doubts, all regarding something in particular or to be more exact someone.
Twilight released a slow sigh as she levitated her list back into her saddle back then fastened it shut. she began walking to the stall selling the first item on her list - Bread -when she stopped, somepony was calling her name.
"Twilight darling!" Rarity called to twilight as she trotted up to her purple friend,
"Oh, Rarity! Hi!" Twilight said after nearly jumping out of her fur.
Rarity tilted her head to one side, staring at Twilight so intensively she could put Fluttershy to shame,
Before to long Twilight's eyes met with Rarity's, they both looked at each other for only a few moments when Rarity released her with a ecstatic gasp and exclaimed:
"Who is he?"
Author's Note
Let me give you the low down:
Chapter Four: Under the Stars
"Sooo?"
"I don't know Twilight, It's been a while"
"Oh, come on. It'll be fun"
"Eeehhh... Okay fine..."
"Really?"
"Sure... why not"
"Yay" Twilight squeaks before jumping out of her chair with glee and sauntering over to you, a sway in each step.
"wait" Twilight starts "Before we start, Whats it like?" she says looking expectantly into your eyes.
"Well... Its hard to describe... It's... Beautiful" you say looking wistfully in some random direction.
"Wow, so..." She says half heartedly kicking the ground. "Shall we?" She says looking back up to you, some of her hair falling against her face.
"After you" you say gesturing to the door.
"It's been so long since I've gone star gazing" Twilight starts, trotting towards her telescope propped up against the far wall of her tree house.
(A/N:
"Yeah... same here" you say walking over to her broom cupboard, grabbing the picnic basket inside. You walk over to the kitchen and begin looking for food to bring.
"I wish I could see what your sky looks like" she calls over her shoulder while fiddling with her telescope.
"It truly was beautiful" you call back to her, putting some grapes in the basket and looking back to the pantry for something else.
"Can you grab a blanket too" she says, levitating the telescope above her head and trotting towards the door.
"MmmHmm"
*****
Finally after a hike that lasted ages, you reach the top of the hill in sweet apple acres. A tall apple trees at the top of the hills leaves glinting in the dim moonlight. You fall against the tree, pressing your hand against your chest, trying to catch your breath. You look over your shoulder too see Twilight setting up her telescope with practiced care. Your eyes begin to wander to her features. Her long purple hair, her cutie mark, her---
You quickly look away, hoping that she didn't catch you visually undressing her (A/N: She's not wearing clothes). You place the basket on the grass and begin unfolding the blanket and begin laying it across the ground. After carefully setting the blanket you look back towards Twilight; Shes looking though her telescope, periodicity looking up to gain her bearings.
Casually, you walk towards "So..." you start, letting your gaze wander to where the telescope is pointing. "Anything worth seeing tonight?"
"Not really" she says, falling over onto her haunches with a huff.
"Well" you say walking back towards the blanket, and sitting down. "There's still this" you say gesturing towards the view before you. The night sky with a crescent moon majestically silhouetted against it. Ponyville, its lights still burning brightly despite the hour, thinly veiled in a low mist rolling in from the west.
You pat the spot next to you and you see Twilights face light up, nonchalantly trotting to your side and placing her rump next to you. You sit together in silence, enjoying the peace of the night. You look over to her, her eyes are filled with wonder, gazing at the endless expanse of space. Her expression brings a small smile to your face.
You lean back, letting your back hit the blanket with a thump and bring your arms behind your head. Soon enough with what you think is hesitance Twilight does the same, falling back on the blanket and a small squeak, also you couldn't help but notice that she moved ever so close to you, enough to fell warmth radiating of her. You both sit quietly, enjoying each other company and the stars.
The suddenly a streak of light flies across the the sky.
"Look!" you say pointing to the shooting star "Make a wish and it will come true" you say looking over to her, what you see make your heart skip a beat. Shes staring at you her face tinted a deep crimson.
"It already has" She says with a smile as she snuggles closer to you wrapping her fore hooves around you and closes her eyes. At first you don't know what to do but you simply place your arm around her, a smile comes to her face and she grips you tighter with a small sigh. You sit motionless, listening to her breathing steadily slow as she falls into a blissful sleep. gently without rousing her you lean over and plant a small kiss on her forehead and lean back down. Your heart beating a mile a minute.
And slowly but surely you fall into a deep and peaceful sleep yourself.
********
You awake some several hours later, The air is chilled and the ground coated with morning dew. the sun Is slowly Creeping over the horizon, once again casting a beam directly over your face. "Yeah,Yeah" You mutter to yourself. You look over to your side to see Twilight holding into your body tighter for warmth. You gently place one hand on her cheek,
"Twilight... Twilight wake up..." you whisper, as to not startle her.
"Hmm?" she says sleepily, Moving her hoof lying on your chest to rub her eyes. When she's fully awake you looks up to you and instantly you notice her face turn a deep crimson.
"Good morning" you say, giving her a warm smile.
"G-Good morning" she stammers out in reply.
You both sit up and look around. "What time is it?" You say rubbing the sleep from your eyes.
"I'd say around 7:00am" Says a different voice from behind.
You both turn around to see none other then Applejack Standing there, A knowing smile on her face as she shoots a sly look to Twilight, then to you and back to Twilight.
"What are you two Love birds up to?" she says with a teasing voice.
Twilight looks away from her friend to hide her blush. "We were stargazing and we feel asleep" she said, still not giving her friend eye contact.
"Mmhmm, Well you Should Probably be heading home soon" she says turning back to the apple fields. "See you around Love Birds " she says over her shoulder before breaking into a trot for home.
You and Twilight both watch Applejack until she's no more than a speck in the distance before Getting up packing the food, blanket and telescope and start the trek back to Twilight house.
Author's Note
Again
Give it to me straight... how was that HNNNGGG?
(Any grammar/spelling/tense error please tell me)
A few days have passed since that moment, spending a night under the stars with Twilight. Your mind was still abuzz with questions. Why did she want to get so close to you? Did she like you? Did you like her? She’s nice and all but she’s… She’s a pony, a tiny horse, an animal! You sigh, shifting in your chair as you do so. You knew that even though your brain saying one thing your heart was saying something different.
While on one hand she was quite literally an animal, She was the nicest pers- Pony you have ever met, she let you into her home when you were scared and confused, gave you a bed to sleep and food to eat. Who knows what might have happened if she hadn’t taken you in. She was friendly, smart, funny, cute.
Wait, cute? Yeah, you had to admit, she was pretty damn cute and those eyes, oh those eyes! You could gaze into them for a lifetime. You shut your eyes, thinking back to the night you spent together, Her wish, the cuddling, feeling her warm fur pressed against you. You shudder as the recollection of the feeling causes a tingle to shoot up your spine.
You wonder what it would be like to kiss her.
What the hell man?! What? She’s a friggin animal! Bu-- But what? Dude, that’s like illegal in… Everywhere! But were not on earth anymore, are we? So? Do you feel comfortable being with a Horse? Shes more than that! Is she? she looks like a horse, she eats horse... stuff. Bu--Face it man, You’re fucked up.
“Hey!”
You snap out of your mental argument to the sound of a voice, you look down to see the filly; Applebloom looking at you with a face of annoyance. Twilight went out to hang with her friends, In which you were so graciously volunteered to look after the little fillies while they had, as rarity had put it, “Their girls night out.”
“Wha’?” you mutter, rubbing your eyes to refresh your vision.
“We're Bored!” Her orange companion groaned, trotting up to join her yellow friend.
“Yeah! Let’s play a game!” The white one chimed in, her voice cracking to a pitch that made your ears ring slightly.
“Uhh,” mulling over your options for a moment before finally caving to their pleading looks.
*****
“Report, monster hunter Scootaloo.”
“No sign of the beast, monster hunter Applebloom.
“Same over here,” monster hunter Sweetie Belle reported.
“Keep your eyes peeled, It could be anywhere.”
They were right, you were everywhere and nowhere at once, You managed to lure them around the house, leading them one room, only to put out a light in another. Now they had set up a makeshift fort out of pillows, staying close to the last light in the house, the fireplace. Unfortunately for them, their fates are already sealed.
You had spent the better part of twenty minutes toying with them, putting them on edge, they may sound calm and collected but the slightest noise made them panic and scream. In one hand you held a string, near invisible in this low light, on the other end was a small stone you had found. In your other hand you kept a firm grasp on a pillow.
You pull the string and the stone clacks against the floor, you hear the fillies jump. After some hushed whispers you heard the sound you were counting on, they were moving towards the distraction, time to move. You crept slowly around the corner and into their “Base.” moving around the pillow barricade as you sneak towards them. You poise yourself to strike, holding your breath as you round to couch to see, nothing. You tilt your head but before you can question where they went you were pushed from behind and sent tumbling to the floor.
You hit the ground with a grunt, managing to break the fall with the pillow. You turn onto your back to see three Monster Hunters standing over you, Pillows at the ready.
“Cutiemark Crusader Monster Hunters!” They all yell, closing in on you.
You try to crawl away but a wall behind you ceases your pointless flailing.
“Mercy?” You squeak out, turning back to them and bringing your arms up in surrender.
They only share brief glances and grins with each other before looking back to you,
“Nah,” They say in unison.
=====At the girls night=====
“So Twilight, tell us about this ‘special somepony we’ve been hearing so much about,” rainbow dash said in a teasing voice.
“Wha?! Rarity!” Twilight gasped, turning to her friend with scowl to show her disapproval.
“Yeah girl! We want to know all about him!” Pinkie said bouncing up to Twilight, breaking her attention from Rarity to the overly excited pink pony now press her face against her own.
“Yea’ Twiligh’ I saw yall’ down at the hill.” Applejack teased, giving twilight a knowing little wink.
“We mean, if you want that is” Fluttershy chimed in in a voice nearly inaudible to everypony else in the room.
Twilight stared at all the prying eyes before finally caving to their pleading looks
====A few hours after later====
“Hello? I’m back. Girls?” Twilight called out, keeping the door open for Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash before shutting it quietly behind her.
No answer roused some curiosity in the mares, they look around for a moment, noticing the huge mess that was once called Twilight’s living room. They approached the scene carefully, expecting the worse, only to be met with a strange sight indeed. There before them were three sleeping fillies, all resting close together, their backs resting against a large pile of pillows, sticking out from under it were two pairs of shoes.
“looks like somepony had fun,” AJ said, moving over to Applebloom to gently lift her onto her back, doing so carefully as to not wake the tuckered out filly.
“Ah best be takin’ her home now. G’Night Twi.”
“Night AJ” Twilight said, giving her friend a warm smile.
“I got yah, squirt.” Rainbow said in an almost motherly tone as she took Scootaloo into her hooves and lifted off into the air, giving twilight a quick smile before going on her way.
“I suppose I should be taking Sweetie here home as well. Goodnight, darling.” Rarity said staring at the pile of pillows for a moment, stifling a giggle before levitating Sweetie Belle onto her back and trotting to the door, giving Twilight a faint smile before exiting, closing the door behind her.
Twilight sighed, turning back to your pillow tomb with a sigh, she levitates a few pillows off you to reveal your sleeping form, you’re face first in the floor and drooling slightly. She giggles slightly at the monument to your defeat before lightly prodding you with a hoof, bringing you back to consciousness
“Hey there?” she says, trying to hold back her giggles.
“Uhhg” You quietly groan. shifting slightly to move a few more pillows off you.
“Rough night?” She says her voice clearly faltering as it’s all becoming too much for her.
“Mmhmm” You nod, not lifting your head off the ground.
“What was it this time?” she asked before bringing a hoof to her mouth, she can’t hold on much longer.
“Cutiemark Crusader Monster Hunters, Yay!” you sleepily cheer into the floor with tired enthusiasm.
At this point she is laughing her head off, falling over at the hilarity of the whole situation.
“Come on, let’s get you up” she says recovering from her giggle fit to offer you a hoof, which you happily accept.
*****
You blink your eyes open lazily, you lay quietly in your bed staring at the roof before shifting and sitting on the edge, Propping your elbows on your knees and bringing your hands up to cover your face. You had the dream again, only this time it was in a different place, the park your brother used to take you when you were younger. All you can recall from the dream is being in that park, than hearing the bang. You rub your eyes, trying to force the sleepiness from them before standing up, slowly as to not get a headrush. You lift your arms to stretch your stiff muscles, as you do so you get a good whiff of your own BO.
“Ugh,” you wince, “Shower time.”
*****
You step out of the bathroom after your relaxing shower, standing in the hallway for a moment to properly tie the towel to your waist when you get that feeling again, that unmistakable tingly feeling on the back of your neck, you stare up from your waist, pausing a moment before looking to your left, to the main room. Standing there in the hallway was none other than Twilight, you don’t know how long she’s been standing there but judging by the bright blush on her cheeks you’d guess long enough.
“Uh… Goodmorning,” You say sheepishly.
“Wha? Oh!” Twilight stammers. “Goodmorning. I, Uh, came to get you, for uhhh, breakfast so um.” She pauses, clearing staring at your body which is only covered by a rather small, pony sized towel.
“Oh wow,” She says to herself under her breath. She finally looks up to you with a squeak, quickly turning around and hurrying back towards the kitchen.
You stand there for a several moment before turning around and walking into ‘your’ room closing it firmly shut behind you and leaning your back against the door.
“Well that just happened.”
*****
You proceed to eat your breakfast breakfast in silence, this time around you’re fully dressed. You noticed Twilight sneak a few glances at you as you looking up at her however caused her to quickly avert her gaze to another part of the room.
“So…” you say, finally breaking possibly the most awkward silence in the history of existence. “What are we going to do today…?” You ask trying to get a conversation going.
“Well, I don’t have much to do today, just a few errands…” she says nudging her food around with her fork before looking to you.
“Oh, well…” You start, “Could I possibly, I don’t know, come with? afterwards we could maybe do something? What the hell are you doing?!
“Oh! I mean, S-sure” Twilight says with a stammer, visibly perking up at your suggestion.
“Cool” you say in a calmly,”I mean if it’s not to much trouble me tagging along.” You’ve done it now pal.
“No, no, It’s fine,” Twilight says, hopping off the chair, levitation your plates towards the sink, and dropping them carefully into the sink. “I’d love the company” she says turning back to you with a smile.
Have fun in hell you sicko.

“That’s the last one” Twilight said, a hint of triumph as she checked the last item on her list off. you had spent the better part of an hour or two going from one part of the town to another. You had just walked out of the Quill and Sofa shop, that’s a weird ass combination of things to sell, anyway. You had finally finished Twilight’s errands, the last one was putting an order in for some new quills. The sun was high in the sky, still plenty of day left, now you had it all to yourselves.
“Great!” you say, kicking the ground halfheartedly. “What now?” you say looking back to Twilight.
“Umm” Twilight starts, looking away for a few moments before turning back to you, a blush showing through her purple fur, she looks into your eyes, a faint smile coming to her face before asking;
“Diner?”

You open you eyes and see you "to-Be' killer ready to pull the... the... something catches your attention entirely,
Then you hear it, the BANG, Everything is in slow motion but that-That thing is Growing, massing over you entire vision then
Nothing
Nothing but black
