Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Maybe and after all

Chapter 1 – Maybe what’s…

You stare blankly at the paper, how can she really expect me to do this? You bring your head up from the black page; her happy face eagerly awaits your first stroke on the page. Note to self, stop asking Twilight how to do things…it always mean you have to embarrass yourself, still being able to finally hold onto something with your hoof is a nice feeling, well more of a tingling feeling as the quill is somehow morphed to your hoof.

Twilight starts to get restless as she watches you stare blankly between her and the page, “It’s just your name, it can’t be any easier.”

You sigh as you try to trace your name out into the page, most of the letters are coming out like failed stick figures but at least you’re trying. After a few seconds of stressed doodling you place your hoof aside so Twilight can see your abomination.

Twilight floats the paper out of your reach for a better look, “Well…um it’s...”

Spike who has been sitting beside you speaks for Twilight, “bad, horrible, terrible?”

Twilight glares at him, he immediately tries to cover up his comment, “Well you know for you.”

Twilight floats the page back down to you, “Maybe you could try a picture instead?”

A picture? I can’t even write? “Twilight don’t you think I have tried enough?”

She taps her hoof to her face, “Well we have been at this for awhile I guess a break is in order.” She floats the paper away from the table as you breathe a sigh of relief. “But don’t think we're done today, you should learn how to hold things like a normal pony.”

You flick the quill from your hoof as you stand from the table. You would rather not do anymore learning today, it’s midday and you’re tired of the work.

Spike cracks his claws as he stands alone side you, “Ya I think I’m going to go head over to
Rarity’s.”

You roll your eyes at his comment, “Why?”

Spike walks towards the door of the library with a flower in his grasp, “Well its Hearts and Hooves day, duh.”

“Spike I don’t think Rarity will have time for you today, not with our trip being so close.”

Twilight excuse has little effect on Spike, “Ya ya, but anypony could use the help of a dragon.”

You laugh to yourself on his comment, dragons help sure you have only meet Spike but other than clean he doesn’t really do much.

As Spike leaves the house you turn to Twilight. “So what are we doing for Hearts and Hooves day?”

She blinks at you for a moment not saying anything, her lack of a response starts to unsettle you. “Twilight?”

She blushes as she snaps out of her daze, “Um… well I have never done something on Hearts and Hooves day.”

“Why?”

Twilight seems a little embarrassed at the question as her cheeks become a darker shade of purple while she stammers with her words, “Well I have never had a special somepony before…” she focuses her wondering eyes on you, “…Well until you.”

You give a gentle smile, “It would be something interesting for the Princess to read if we did something.”

Twilights laid back attitude is quickly changed as your words hit her, “OH no no no no.”

“No?” You try to listen as she begins to speak in a rush tone. “I have not told the Princess about…well us, if she found out I have been skipping studies she might think I am a bad student and…and if she thinks I am a bad student she might not want me to be her student anymore!” Twilight’s voice breaks a new high pitch at the end of her statement.

“But you were tasked to study friendship right?”

Twilight’s voice is still at ends as she replies, “Yes friendship…not this.”

You’re taken back at her comment and a little upset at her tone, “But I thought this is what you wanted?”

Her worried expression fades as she starts to calm down, “No…it was but-“

“But what?”

She bites at her bottom lip as she thinks out her sentence, “But I am connected with the elements of harmony…meaning I should put other things in front of myself.” You stare at her confused as to what she means. “… I should not have any thing…or anypony that could make that decision hard.”

Her sad completion that you have given her from your anger now eats at you, you put your hooves around her and embrace her as you talk, “I told you, you would never be hurt again…so you will never have to make a choice like that.”

She pushes off of you, you can tell she is holding back something but you don’t mind to ask as you listen, “You’re right…technically this is a form of friendship and the Princess would have to know eventually.”

You smile at her comment.

She is quick to add one last part, “Just not yet.”
You cock an eyebrow at her.

“I’ll tell her in person not in a letter.” She walks to the letter with the two invitations still in them, “And I want everypony there when I do.”

She hoofs you the two remaining tickets, “I forgot to give these to Rainbow and applejack yesterday…I got a little busy at Rarity’s. Could you give them their tickets? I am going to go and make arrangements at The Green Clover for dinner, if you still want to that is.”

You nod your head at her comment.

You then stare at the tickets, now how do I carry these, unless ponies have magic pockets that I have yet to learn I am…bucked. Twilight must be a mind reader as you listen to her talk, “Now I know you can’t carry these so her take this.” Twilight floats over her purple satchel with her cutie mark on it and puts it around you. Even the feel of this stupid thing is girl, you silently complain to yourself.

She puts the two tickets into the front pocket of the bag, “I think Rainbow should be at the track and Apple should be around Sweet Apple acres, try not to be late tonight ok?”

You laugh at her comment, Late? HA obviously she doesn’t know th-... ”Ok Twilight.”

As you head out into Ponyville you try to make a mental map of the town in your mind. After a few minutes of failed map planning you decide just going towards town is probably the best idea.

Chapter 1 end.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

The small town’s streets are filled with ponies of all shapes sizes and color. Most of the ponies walking around you are couples, as the ponies pass by you they hardly notice you, which is a nice change but you guess a normal pony walking around is a lot different than a tall two legged thing towering over them. This usually sleepy town is filled with all sorts of vendors and stalls set up around the center of town, as you get closer towards the town hall building the air above you still filled with heart shaped balloons and the sounds of soft music playing from almost everywhere. “Wow they really go all out here.”

The feelings you get from all the happy couples around you along with the soft music help fill your mind as images of Twilight pass through it, the way her mane sparkles in the morning light, her laugh, her cute expressing she gets when she’s embarrassed.
Your mindless daydreaming is brought to an end as the sound of a loud squeaky toy bust next to your ear.

“Surprise!”

The ringing in your ear throws you off balance a bit so you stagger as you say hello, “HI Pinkie.”

Pinkie grabs hold of you with her hooves as she takes a deep breath, “Why are you all alonenoponywhoulsbeallaloneonHeartsandHoovesday! Do you like the decorations! Igottohelpsetitup do you like it do you doyoudoyou? Hey where is Twilight?” she pauses her onslaught of gibberish as she brings you closer to her and whispers. “Did you make her mad or sad or unhappy?!”

“um no-“

“It’s ok your friend Pinkie is here to help!” Pinkie drops her grip on you and turns to her cannon as she plunges her head inside of it. “mafuasjfjwjsgdz.”

You know Pinkie is weird but this is crazy…maybe I should shoot her from the cannon. You shake the thought out of your head as you talk, “What did you say Pinkie?”

Pinkie pulls her head from the blue cannon and begins shoving boxes of stuff and flowers into you satchel that dangles from your neck, “Here candy and flowers that should make her happy.” Pinkie gives you an overjoyed smile as she pushes you down the road. “Twilight’s satchel looks good on you, although I didn’t know you were into dressing like a mare.”

You plant your hooves firmly on the ground to stop her from pushing you back towards the tree house, “Pinkie, Twilight and I are fine…I am supposed to give Rainbow and Applejack there tickets to Canterlot.”

Pinkie lets out a big sigh as she ducks into your pouch and retrieves the boxes of candy she had stuffed in there a moment ago. “What a relief, Twilight would have NEVER gone for candy and flowers.” She looks over a yellow flower as she pulls it from your bag. She places the flower in your hair, “There you go now you look pretty.” She gives you a big grin as she walks away carrying the boxes.

You shake the flower out of your hair.

She turns to face you again, “Oh and Rainbow is at the track and Apple is at the catering stand.” She nods the direction with her head, “Happy Hearts and Hooves day!”

Catering stand? You look around the crowded mass that has formed around one side of the town square, ugh now I really do wish I had wings, would be superpony…. Now I just need a cape.

You push through the clutter mass of ponies as you poke your head towards the different stalls. Each time you push yourself to the front and it turns out to not be Applejack you have to slink back into the crowd again...not having money kind of makes things awkward as the pony always tries to sell you something.

As you get to the last cluster of ponies you slow make your way to the front, trying to not step on any tails and trying to not bash anyone with yours. This time however it pays off.

“Howdy partner, how’d you like to buy some of Ponyville’s finest apples?”

Cowgirl hat? Check, orange pony? Check, freckles and southern accent check. Only took seven tries.

“No, I’m good.” You fiddle with the pouch as you try to get the ticket out. After a few awkward silent moments you finally are able to hoof her the ticket, you’re proud of yourself for not dropping it to.
“Here you go Applejack.”

She cautiously takes the ticket from you, “beg your partner but do I know you?”

It just now dawns on you that you have not seen Applejack since well before you turn into…well a pony. You’re not really sure how to explain it to her; Twilight told everypony else so best way to start is the name you would guess.

She stares at you for a moment, “Come again?”

You repeat your name and her face is now riddled with confusion. “Did Twilight do this to you!?”

You shake your head, “Long story, but I have to go.”

You start your slow walk away from the stall but she follows you, “How can y’all be so calm not being well you anymore?”

You stare at her blankly for a few seconds, for the short time you have been a pony you have tried your hardest not to think about what you have become and how these changes are not really the easiest thing easy to cope with. You have been promising yourself you would one day sit down and really try to understand it…but there has been so much lately that you can’t.

You can only reply with a shaking of the head.

Applejack puts her hoof on you, “Are…are you ok?”

You didn’t notice it but you now feel it, the wet streak of a tear rolling down your face, you quickly rub the tear away. “Ya…I’m fine.”

Applejack continues to hold her worried expression as she talks, “Do you need me to get Twi or something?”

You shake your head again, “I need to give you and Rainbow your tickets so that Twilight and I can go on a date.” Wow that sentence made almost no sense, that’s the thought you have running you head as you look at Applejack.

She looks a bit confused as she nods her head, “Ok…well you want me to walk with you or something?”

“No…I’m fine.”

You walk past her towards the direction you think the track is in, “Thanks though.”

She watches you as you past her, “Well…hope you feel better sugarcube”

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Golden tickets

As you get away from the town you finally slow down and sit on the ground. You try to make sense to your tear, ya thinking about what’s happened is emotional but it’s never made me cry before? You rub your head with your hoof, which doesn’t really have the same affect a hand with so pretty much worthless.

The slight breeze mixed with the warmth on your coat feels nice as you sit on the side of the road trying to collect your thoughts. You close your eyes and just listen to the sound of you breathing.

“HI !”

The high pitched voice breaks your moment of relaxation as you spring to your feet with a jolt. Upon leaping up you let out a single shot of purple magic from your forehead.

Two of the three little fillies in front of you let out a joyfully cheer.

“How did you do that!” Apple Bloom's voice is a nice change from sweeties but it doesn’t last long as she speaks up. “WhOa! ThaT waS So cool!”

Scootaloo on the other hand is unimpressed. “Why are you sitting on the road?”

You on the other hand are more surprised at being started would let out a bolt of…something. But your concentration is quickly snapped back to the three ponies as they continue to talk.

“Hey do you want to come with us to Ghastly Gorge?” Scootaloo and Applebloom both ask in unison, but before you can answer Sweetie begins to talk. “OH I forgot to give you this!”

The little white filly jumps at you as she ties a red garment around your neck, “The official Cutie Mark Crusader cape!” She gives you an excited smile as she bounces up and down, “Do you like it?”

You can’t see the cape on yourself but you notice they three are wearing the same red cape so you would guess the design is the same, it’s a nice simple design of a pony and although it may not look like the best stitch work you have ever seen it doesn’t matter….because now you are one step closer to super pony!

You tussle Sweetie’s hair with your hoof as you talk, “Thank you Sweetie.”

She gives you another smile as Scootaloo again starts talking, “So you want to come to Ghastly Gorge?”

You have no idea where or what they are talking about and an adventure again is not something you want to do, “Sorry I have to give Rainbow her ticket to Twilight’s….”

“You’re going to see Rainbow?!” The orange pony flutters a bit before landing back on the ground, “Tell her we will be at Ghastly Gorge if she wants to meet us.”

You nod you head.

Applebloom nudges Scootaloo, “We don’t want to get there too late that’s when the eels come out.”

“Oh ya, Bye.”

The three fillies run down the road laughing to themselves. Eels? You shrug the comment off and continue down the road towards the track.

As you near the track you unfasten the cape and stuff it into your bag, you don’t want to give Rainbow anything she could rag on you with. Most of the ponies around the track are pegasus and most are doing something athletic, you think you even see a pony doing push-ups with their wings.

You know Rainbow is always around the track, every time she wanted to do something it would always end up here. You look around for a moment trying to spot her rainbow mane but you can’t find her. You would call her name but you don’t want to look like an idiot if she’s not here. Maybe if I–.

You feel something hit your head and a quick small shot of pain shoots through the back of your head as you turn around to see what’s thumped you.
Your meet with Rainbow’s laughing face, “Dude, where you scared or something?”

“Hi Rainbow…”

As she lands she is still laughing to herself, “No Really, cause your face was priceless.”

You roll your eyes as you dip into your bag for the ticket, as you hoof it to her she stops her giggling.

She stares at your hoof for a second before she takes the ticket, “Hey you finally learned how to hold something…not bad, does that mean you want to try horseshoe throwing now?” She gives you a sly grin, “Cause I been practicing.”

Practicing the throwing of horseshoes?....try hard much? You give a laugh at her comment, “Practicing
hu? Can’t take a loss?” You shoot back your own sly grin waiting her respond.

You have always found her tomboyish voice cute when she’s mad, “I hate losing, so that mean you want to go?”

You blow at her, “Sure.”

She spins into the air with a gust of wind, “Great, meet me at Applejacks in a bit.”

“Why not now afraid of losing?”

Rainbow flaps a gust of air at your face, “Are you kidding of course not.” She points with her hoof to the track, “I’m helping Fluttershy on her flying training, she wants to help more next time we have tornado duty.”

You look over to the tack to see the yellow pegasus slowly flapping her wings as the others pegasus zip pass her. She is wearing goggles for some reason which kind of makes you laugh seeing as how she is going way too slow to really need them.

“You’re doing great Fluttershy!” Rainbow turns to you and shrugs, “So later?”

You think for a moment before you speak, “It can’t be too late I have a date with Twilight.” You tilt your head up at the end of your comment.

Rainbow lands and looks at you confused, “You guys are actually a couple?”

You stare back at her in surprise, “Ya?”

Her tomboyish voice is a little higher pitched as she talks, “I thought you guys were just doing stuff for her studies on friendship for the Princess?”

You don’t really know how much Rainbow knows about you and Twilight so you try to keep your thoughts clean as you answer, “No.” note to self, objective complete.

Rainbow rubs her neck with her hoof, “That’s cool, hey tell you what you beat me today and I’ll tell you a few things about Twilight, deal?”

You nod your head.

Her normal tone comes back to her quickly as she taps you with her hoof, “Don’t think I will take it easy on you.”

You give a chuckle to her comment.

“No seriously I have a reputation…can't have some normal earth pony beating Rainbow Dash every day could I?”

You’re taken back by her comment about being an ‘earth pony’ you don’t know why but that bothers you. “Ok Rainbow.”

“Ok meet me later dude.”

Rainbow zips pass you towards Fluttershy on the track.

You wait there for a few moments but as you watch Rainbow and Fluttershy go around the track it doesn't look like they would be done any time soon.And the once nice feeling sun now feels like it is burning your back. You now decide you would rather wait at home then stand around outside all day so you start to make your way back home.

End of chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 – Bad taste.

Going back home was almost worthless, you expected to find Twilight somewhere in the house but instead you get a note saying that her and Spike went to Rarity’s. For the last few hours you have been doing nothing but levitating a book around your head, you’re not trying to read it you just are bored and this keeps your mind off of think. The book spins around your head and each time it passes by your eyes you follow it, magic for derpys…

You never really have liked books all too much and being in a quiet library surrounded by nothing but books is starting to give you a headache. But the silent screaming of the library is brought to an end as the front door thumps.

You place the book back and walk towards the door to open it.

The doorway is filled with Applejack and Rainbow, “You feeling better sugarcube?”

You smile and nod to Applejack’s Rainbow talks, “Good, cause I don’t want you crying when you get beat.”

After being alone for a few hours you don’t really have the energy to tease Dash so you just nod your head and follow them down the road. Rainbow follows above and Applejack walks beside you pulling a wheelbarrow full of apples. For the shack of conversation you start talking.

Applejack sighs as she talks, “No, it’s hard to get ponies to buy something when you have Pinkie pie running around cramming food at ponies.”

You give a friendly laugh at her comment.

Rainbow starts complain above you, “Oh for pete's sakes we are not going to have a boring conversation all the way there are we?”
Applejack gives a low and annoyed hum at Rainbow.

Rainbow flips over onto her back as she flies above you two, “If you want to hear a REAL conversation you should hear about how fast I went to day!”

Rainbow grabs your head as she starts explaining her story.

Applejack interrupts Rainbow before she could start, “So how are you and Twilight going to celebrate Hearts and Hooves day?”

“We are…-“

Rainbow’s laugh stops you from talking, “Let me guess she’s going to make you read a book to her or something right?”

You're annoyed at her comment, “No, where going to The Green Clover for dinner.” You look at Rainbow, “And what are you doing?”

Rainbow’s happy expression is changed as she again flips over onto her back and flies above you, “Oh I’m not into that girly stuff.”

“What she means to say is she don’t have a special somepony this year.”

Rainbow snaps at Applejack in a high pitched voice, “It’s not that I don’t have one, it’s that all the guys in this town are boring.”

“Oh come on Rainbow, there are plenty of good stallions in Ponyville.”

You nudge at Applejack and whisper, “No one will go out with her cause they're intimidated.”

Apple gives a light laugh at your comment.

“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?” Rainbow pushes her face at yours.

You have never been intimidated by Rainbow…but now you don’t have size over her and she does kick hard enough to stop a wolf, with that in mind you decide to not egg her on. “It’s a compliment.”

Rainbow pulls her face from your, “YA, I can see that.”

Your conversation is over as you reach the farm gates; Applejack takes the lead now and starts walking to the barn.
You’re a little confused as to why you would go to a big red barn for horseshoe throwing but you don’t question it as you follow her inside.

As you enter the barn you notice a table in the middle of the room with a few barrels around it, “Um, I thought we were going to do horseshoes?”

Applejack looks at Rainbow, “uhh, I thoug-“

Rainbow points to the table, “I thought we could try something different then horseshoes throwing, seeing as how I really don’t care about that I thought this would be a better challenge.”

You look over the wood table with two chairs you try to think over things that need a table, chest? Checkers? Arm wrestling? Can you even arm wrestle with no arms? “OK what is it?”

Rainbow smiles proudly as she looks at you, “Cider drinking contest!”

You laugh at her comment, she thinks she could beat you at cider drinking?! HA! If being a human college study taught you one thing it was that drink you just don’t loss in. You smile at Rainbow as you walk over to the seat, “I’ll have you know Rainbow I have already out drank Twilight, so this won’t take long.”

Rainbow takes the seat across from you, and mocks you in a girly voice, “OHHHH I have beaten Twilight, I’m the best.”

Applejack laughs at her voice, “Sugarcube don’t hurt yourself the last guy to try this ended up throwing up.”

You look back to her, “and who was that?”

Rainbow talks for her, “Thunderlane.” She crosses her arms proudly.

You try to remember something about the name but you can’t, translation, doesn’t matter then you say to yourself. “Ok whatever.”

Applejack sets the first two drinks down.

Rainbow looks over the drinks and then to you, “So endurance or speed?” She smiles as she passes,
“Or until you faint?”

You hover the cup up to her, “Faint.” She clangs her mug to yours and your contest starts.

As the cider goes down your throat it still has the same nasty, too sweet flavor like before. You almost gag on the first mug as you put it down.

Rainbow notices your reaction and start laughing, “HA, one mug? Whoa Twilight must be a lightweight hu?” She moves her head closer to your side of the table as she teases you, “That must have been how you got her in bed hm?”

Applejack moves her hoof at Rainbow, “Hush, Applebloom could be outside.”

You hover the next cup to your face, “Nope.” You try downing this one faster in hopes it would take the taste away, it doesn’t’ and you shake a little at the sweetness as it rolls down your throat.

Each time you put down the mug Rainbow mocks you. This continues as you and her continue to grab mug after mug. Five…Ten…Fifteen…Twenty…Twenty-five…….. Thirty -seven ….next barrel….

This goes on for a while each time you start on a new barrel you feel yourself start to lose track of time. The mugs are not too big and the barrels are not that big but you are now starting to feel the cider take an effect on you. As you feel some of your word slip as you and Rainbow continue to shoot comments back and forth

The sunlight that shone through the door that use to hang in the top of the barn now shines in Rainbow’s face, wichit now makes her rainbow hair slightly glow with an aura of colors.

You don’t know how many mugs you have brought up to your face now, but as you bring this one up to you your magical grip is lost and the cider mug falls over you. As the sloppy apple cider dampens you coat you and Rainbow start to laugh.

Applejack hoofs you another mug and with it she says a number, the number sounded mumbled to you as you take the drink down.

As you push the mug back to Applejack like you have done that last countless times you look to Rainbow. She put the mug down and sways a little as she talks, “Getting…getting tired yet?”

You feel a dumb smile across your face as you awkwardly shake your head back and forth.

Rainbow looks to Applejack as she pushes down the pump to the wooden barrel, “Come on Apple.”

The barrel lets out an empty sound, she stops pushing and look to Rainbow, “Don’t you think two barrels is enough? Can’t you just tie?”

Rainbow pushes herself off the table and hoofs to Applejack, “No, *hic* I waz going to win.”

You to look to Applejack, your comment sense is now all but gone as you playfully bang your hooves on the table, “YAY, more!”

Applejack gives a concerned look as she walks out of the barn, “Ok, wait a minute.”

You now look to Rainbow and start talking, “Hey Rainbow what do you call…call a pig in a um…I forgot
the joke.”

Rainbow gives a snorting laugh at your comment; she now stares at you with half closed eyes.

You and Rainbow stare at each other for a moment, “What?”

Rainbow hiccups as she talks, “Your..*hiccup* cool, and thats thats whats cool about you...you know.”

You nod your head in a drunken agreement.

She moves herself further across the table, “No...no other guy in this this town does anything cool.”

She now stares at you with half closed eye and a drunken smile, “I...I like you.”

In the blink of an eye the table and the chair are a blur as you feel yourself come crashing to the ground. Rainbow now has her lips planted firmly on your, she pushes closer to you as she continue to hold you down. Your common sense is stricken from you as you wrap your hooves around her and kiss her, you're starts to get a surge of warmth as she breaks the kiss from you and you feel yourself slipping away in the heat of the moment.

She now has positioned herself on top of your stomach as she bends down again for another cider soaked kiss. At this point you can feel the warmth from her mare hood as she moves her body over yours with a wet trail following her venture. Her tail flicks around your bottom hooves as she continues moving herself over you.

Chapter – 4

Chapter 5

Chapter 5 – A Lovely Dinner

“No, no no.” Rarity looks over Twilight as she gives an annoyed sigh.

“Rarity, I’m sure it looks fine.” Twilight looks to Spike for some kind of agreement, “Spike this looks fine right?”

Spike is too busy staring at Rarity to hear Twilight.

Rarity floats her scissors back to her, “Oh don’t be silly darling, you asked me to help you with a dress and that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”

Twilight is annoyed by her comment as she raises her voice, “A dress won’t be nice if the pony who is supposed to see it leaves because he thinks his date forgot.”

Rarity laughs at her angry snap, “Honestly he lives with you and knows almost no pony, and he would wait at the restaurant. Besides he’s probably not even there yet.”

Twilight looks over her dress in the mirror as she talks, “Oh and why is that?”

Rarity gives a surprised sigh, “All guys are late to a date, and if they're not then we should be.”

Twilight is confused at her comment, “And why does that make sense?”

Rarity bats her eyes at Twilight, “Why that way it gives us something to complain to them about.”

Twilight looks out the window of the boutique, “I don’t want to be late for my first heart and hooves date.”

Rarity hushes her, “You won’t be.” She then taps her hoof to her face.

She then pulls her hair down beside her as she lets out a girlish squeal, “Rubies would look great on this! Wait right there.” She turns to Spike, “Spike would you be a dear and grab that chest over there.”

Spike jumps to his feet and runs happily to the huge chest and try to pull it from its spot.

Rarity pats Twilight back and gives her a happy smile, “Just a bit longer.”

Twilight gives another sigh as she looks at the sun starting to set.

The realization of your situation hits you like a rock to the face as you feel Rainbow’s warm lips push themselves onto your now erect member. She slowly moves herself up and down you letting out low moans each time she pushes you further into her. Your body is holding you back but your mind is screaming at you to stop this. After a few minutes of her riding you you finally are able to slide out of her, you quickly roll her off of you, which does not help matter much as you now lay on top of her. She lets out a low moan as you do this, “Hey, don’t be so rough.”

Your ears and face are now pulsating with an unbearable amount of heat as you yell at her. “What are you doing!”

She smiles at you nothing, “*hic* Who are you doing!” She gives a laugh as she rubs herself along your body.

You quickly pull yourself to your feet as back away from her. As you do this she sets up from the ground and looks at you, her giggly expression is now replaced as she looks at you, “What's wrong?”

Your heart is pounding as thoughts of Twilight’s face run through your head, What if she found us! What if she finds out! What if Applejack walks in!

Rainbow is now on her feet as she puts her hoof on your chest, her eyes are water and her voice is shaky as she talks, “I…I’m sorry…I just you know I have always kind of found you attractive and and I thought that if….”

Your mind is screaming for you to run but your legs are shaking too much to move you, your mind is at ends with what you were about to do…how could you be with Twilight but wanted to do this soooo bad and why did it take you so long to realize it! You lower body still throbs as you stand in the cider smelling barn.

Rainbow’s voice cracks as she continues to talk. But you move yourself from her hoof, as you do this you get a burst of energy that you use to run towards the barn doors. As you push through the doors you bump into Applejack, “Well where you going in a hurry I got the new-.”

She stops talking as you run pass her.

Applejack walks over to Rainbow who is staring at the ground, “What happened?”

Rainbow doesn’t turn her face from the ground as she talks, “I lost.”

Applejack puts her hoof on Rainbow’s back, “Oh come on Rainbow cheer up you can’t always win.”

Rainbow now cries and grabs hold of Applejack, she has no idea why she is crying but she does her best to cheer her sad friends up.

You continue running until you find it hard to breath, your heart pounds and your breathing is now a heavy panting, the sun is down and the cold air of the night strikes against your coat. It would feel nice but you the only thing you can think at this moment is that you're a terrible, horrible monster and you need to get as far from the barn as you possible can. You start your run back to town up again. Every time you feel like stopping you push harder with your hooves on the ground and repeat in your head, how can I promise nothing bad will happen if I can’t even control myself!

As the hay covered houses get into view you start to slow down a bit. With the sight of the houses you're already swamped mind is rush with a new thought... I am supposed to meet Twilight! You dart your head back and forth the streets trying to remember how to get to the restaurant.

A small grey stallion notices your nervous and breathless stance, “Hey buddy you ok?”

You paint at the pony that stands beside you, “I….need…..to.” You’re still out of breath as you try to
ask the pony your question.

The pony you stand of blinks his green eyes at you, “Get a breath mint?”
You swallow and try to collect your thoughts, “…Where is The Green Clover?”

The small grey stallion points down the street to your right.

You snap your head down the street, “thanks….”

The short stallion says his name, “Tombstone, also take a bath you smell like a drunk.” The grey pony walks past you as you race towards the brightly lit up building.

You look at the tables outside, same hay chairs and simple tables…yep this is the right place. You look at the line of ponies that has formed in front of the building you think to yourself; I don’t have time for this. You push through the line and up to the host, “Did a Twilight Sparkle go in yet?”
The ponies behind you are making comments on how rude you are but you don’t care right now about petty insults. The host pony looks over the list and says in a real snooty voice, “No, now please step aside you bum.”

You get pushed aside by another pony. Your mind now races, did she already go in and leave! You push this thought out of your head as you race to the library; you have convinced yourself that she hasn't let yet. As you run down the small roads you dodge couples and try not to throw up on yourself, running after drinking is a bad idea, note to self.

When you reach the library you push open the door, “Twilight?!” You listen to your voice ricochet off the walls, but no other voice comes back. You collapse on the ground to exhaust to try to go to another place. You now feel tired from all the cider you have drunk, but you moment of exhaustion is quickly replaced with an image of Twilight happily waiting outside of a restaurant for somepony who will never come. You think over any other place she could be, maybe Rarity knows... you pull yourself from the ground and start back to the road outside.

“Rarity I don’t want any more gems!” Twilight walks towards the door of the boutique as Rarity crawls on the ground.“You must you MUST!”

Twilight’s voice is now in a high pitched yell, “I don’t’ need any more Rarity.”

Rarity jumps in front of the door, “But Twilight it’s not done!”

Rarity presses herself into the front of the door, “You have to let me finish my… master piece.”

Twilight wraps Rarity in a purple aura as she teleports her behind herself. “Thank you Rarity but I think you have done enough.”
Rarity grabs Spike and points to Twilight, “Do something!”

“Oh come on Twilight it can’t be too much longer.”

Twilight hoofs to the window, “its waaaayyyyy pass the time of my reservation so there goes that plan, I don’t want him standing there all night.”

(Outside)

As you near the boutique you can hear voices inside, you assume it’s just a customer as you open the door.

“…And I.” Twilight looks to the door as you open it.

She is dressed in a sapphire blue dress that covers her backside, there are starts around her dress that are traced with small red stones, the dress is flared up towards her back hooves with a lighter blue fabric, on her hooves she is wears what looks like crystal blue shoes. The dress is connected around her neck with a purple start again traced with the tiny red stones. But the dress is not what impresses you, the dress and the way she has her hair laid brings out her soft purple eyes, which look so beautiful as they sparkle with the moonlight from behind you hitting them.

She talks in a soft voice, “Sorry I didn’t make it to our date…are you mad?” She bites her lip nervously as she waits for your responds.

You run to her and embrace her with a kiss. “I don’t care.”

Twilight breaks the kiss and giggles at you, “Why do I taste cider?”

You bite your lip as you stare at her face, you know you should tell her but you can’t. So you answer her question with another kiss. As you pull back from her you stare at her, “Where do you want to go?”

Her eyes sparkle as she walks past you, “Home, I still have something to give you.”
You follow close behind her as she bats at you with her tail.

Rarity watches as you both leave, “Oh try not to be late tomorrow, I hate to miss the train.”

Spike starts after you two but Rarity stops him with her hoof, “um...maybe you should stay here tonight.”

End of chapter 5

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

You have sat staring out the window silently since you left Ponyville, Twilight still beside you she has been having nice conversations with her friend the whole time. You on the other hand have had been sitting with a strange unsettling feeling ever since Ponyville became a small outline in the distance. Now as the train round a mountain curve the marble city comes into view, the white marble buildings still stand as a monument to how creative these ponies can be despite still being well animals. The first time you saw the city you were in awe of how it was built hanging over a cliff with such huge structures reaching up to the sky. You understand that these ponies are more like humans then you first thought but the sight of such engineering genius is still a hard thing to full understand. As the train passes through a cutout in the mountain your glimpse of the city is lost. You shift in your seat messing with your hooves as you listen in on the ponies’ conversations around you.

“OH! I cannot WAIT until we get there, I absolutely LOVE the city.” Rarity lies against the glass of the train making funny sounds as she moves her hooves around the glass.

Spike looks out the window and then back to you, “Oh dude just wait until you see where we’re going.” He points his claw to himself, “Like I said I know all the cool spots. What are you going to do Twilight?”

Twilight taps her hoof to her face, “well we need to stop by the castle befo-…”

Rarity peels herself from the glass and shift back to Twilight with a dramatic hoof motion, “Oh the castle, such sophistication, I just know this time in Canterlot will not be ruined.”

You feel the memories of Chrysalis creeping back into your mind, but you’re easily able to shoot them away as the obnoxious whistle to the train blows while you pull into the station.

Rarity flicks her mane as she stands, “No need to get my bags Spike, I’ll get a luggage stallion to bring them to my room.”

Rarity and Spike stand by the doors to the train, Rarity bounces a little as she stands for the door to slide open. You and Twilight stand next to them as you wait for the train pony to open the door.

The chocolate colored pony walks slowly to the door and gives a joke filled smile as he sees you for waiting near the door. “Now you four have fun here.”

As the doors slide open Rarity lets out a girlish squeal as she walks out into the train station. As you walk out onto the plate form your amused, the building in front of you looks so modern. You stare at the train station building, sure the castle is nice and big but seeing a building made up of nothing but glass is a nice change then the normal stone and hay buildings you have grown a custom to seeing. You also like seeing the clock in the middle of the building; it’s not like Ponyville doesn’t have clocks there just not abundant. You think to yourself now...wow I’m boring, am I really staring at and a appreciating a clock?

You quickly try to focuses on something else and of course get Rarity talking, “Oh we are going to the castle first right darling?” She bats her eyes at Twilight.

Twilight walks down the side of the train as she talks, “Of course, we have to make sure everypony knows we got here.”

As you follow Twilight out of the train station you start to get a little overwhelmed at the site of the city. The streets around you are a lot bigger than Ponyville’s, and the ponies that walk around these streets look a lot more…well unhappy.

You stay close to the group as you walk down the busy streets. Stallions and mares push through your group, you dodge the ponies as you do this. You continue to listen to Rarity as she exclaims how nice the city is. You look around the buildings; sure they are nicely put together with stone and colored materials with flowers or plants hanging from just about every building. But this place seems way more crowded then you remember. Although the candle light posts do look pretty cool…note to self, stop caring about the scenery!

After a few more minutes of walking through the city the castle starts to come into view, the stunning tallness of it still baffles you as you look up to see the top of one of the towers. It still looks like some kind of willy wonka creation to you with the ill-fitting buildings and towers around it.

The gates and drawbridge is something you never saw before…you snicker a little at the guard ponies that stand atop the walls, they still look like a guard from Oblivion. As you four walk into the gates they watch over you. At least this time you don’t think they see you as a threat, after all you are just a pony…for all they know.

As you walk through the gates the area seems more familiar, in front of you is the staircase of made of stone that leads onto the white and gold castle. At the top of the staircase you see a white stallion with a different helmet and wearing purple armor. The pony is talking to another stallion but as he look toward you for his serious face changes as he screams a name.

“Twily!”

Twilight happily yells Shining and runs towards the white stallion. She wraps her hooves around the stallion and hugs him, you look over the stallion trying to place him…but you have never seen him or heard of him before.

You think over what Twilight just yelled, Shining?

The stallion continues to hold Twilight as he talks, “The Princess just told me you were coming, I’m so happy to see you.”

Twilight smiles back at the stallion, “It’s been way far too long.” She again hugs the stallion. At this point you're starting to get a little annoyed at him as you think to yourself, who the hell is he?

The white stallion releases Twilight as he says hello to everyone else. He calls everyone by name but stops as he gets to you. “I’m sorry who are you?”

You say your name with an annoyed voice.

He smiles as he holds his hoof out to you, “I’m shining armor, captain of the royal guard. You must be the luggage stallion.”

You look at his hoof in disgusted as you put your hoof back on the ground, “No, I’m -….”

Twilight walks over to you and stands next to you, she nudges to you as she introduces you, “This is Shinning he is my brother.”

He holds his head up happily as he waits for her to continue.

She pauses for a moment as she looks back to you, “And shining…this is my special somepony.”

The stallions proud look fades as he looks at you in shook, “wh….what?!”

His shocked tone catches Twilight off guard as she tries to explain, “That…that might not have been the best way to introduce you to.” She rubs her hoof to her neck as he stares at you.

Rarity pushes Spike pass you both, “Ha ha, umm well meet you both in side…ta!”

Shining now has a stern face as he look back to Twilight, “You don’t even say anything till now?”
Twilight has an angry tone as she talks back, “Oh and my brother telling me he is getting married by a LETTER is ok?”

Shining hoofs to you, “This is MUCH different!”

You continue to follow the conversation back and forth with a sense of pride knowing you have pissed the captain of the guard off.

“…It’s not like we are getting married!”

You feel a little uncomfortable as you continue to listen to them go back and forth.

“…I’m your big brother I have a right to know what you do.”

Twilight mocks her brother’s tone as she talks, “Ohhh well I didn’t know my all powerful bother need to know.” She pulls you past him as she talks, “I would rather not talk about this now, I’ll see you later.”

You give a smile as you walk pass him.

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Total understanding…

You follow Twilight down the halls of the castle as she talks, “Do you think that was…a bit too fast?”

You think about what you just heard and think yes, “Oh no not at all.”

She smiles at you, “Good, I want you two to end up liking each other. I’ll talk to him later today after he has time to think about it.”

You picture his face in your head…as you were walking past him he had the look that said, you touch my sister I’ll kill you…oh crap, “Um Twilight what are you going to tell him?”

Twilight stops in the hall and taps her hoof to her mouth…”I don’t kn-…”

Her sentence is cut short at the sound of Rarity screaming. You both rush down the hallway to a bedroom where she is laying on the bed crying.

Twilight’s voice is rush as she talks, “What! What is it?”

Rarity points to an emblem of three butterflies on the door; she talks through her tears, “Fluttershy got the room with the view! Wah haa haa.”

You walk out of the room rolling your eyes.

You look over the doors and find the one that has Twilight’s cutie mark on it. You walk over to it and push open the door; to your surprise it’s not empty… Sitting on the bed is Rainbow dash.

She has her back turned to the door and her ear twitches as she hears the door squeak open, “Twilight we need to..-“

As she turns around she stops her sentence and her long face turns into a more surprised and slightly confused expression. She is quick to jump off the bed at the sight of you and she now talks a bit more nervously, “Um…Hi, how are you?”

Your body is tense and your mouth is shut closed as you stare at her, your mind is now racing with thoughts of yesterday and you're struck completely dumb on speech.

Rainbow gets a little closer and has a more rush voice as she talks, “Look I’m REALLY really sorry…are you ok?”

You quiver your mouth a little trying to say something but your mouth is not wanting to let up. Your mind is racing with one half wanting to talk things out with her and the other more domain side still screaming to run and that you’re a terrible person.

Rainbow looks to the ground as she relies that you’re not going to talk, “oh…”

You bite your lip at the sight of the always excited and life filled pony looking so down, you reach your hoof out to her and brush her hair, “I’m no-“

“Hey do you wan-“

You quickly pull yourself away from Rainbow as Twilight enters the room. Your heart is pounding at the sight of her.

Twilight happily smiles to Rainbow, “Hi Rainbow what’s…-“

Rainbow darts out of the room before she could finish. Twilight looks to you in confused, “Everything ok?”

You shake your head, “Um..um what did you want to say?”

She gets her smile back as she floats her satchel to the bed, “I was wondering if you wanted to see the garden with me.”

You’re quick to shake your head.

“Great, come on.”

You follow her out of the room trying to calm your thoughts.

You have walked in silence to the garden; she hasn’t seemed to care as she still walks close to you. But you still have an uneasy feeling as you walk near her, and now you think you’re starting to feel your hangover again which only make you remember last night more, which of course fuels your mind to play against you.

You try to take your mind off of it by looking at the colorful flowers and the mass array of stone statues that surround the lavish garden. The dirt ground is also a nice change from the stone you have been walking on.

The statues around you as you two walk are of all kinds of animals and ponies, some of which are labeled as great heroes, this does help clear your mind as you think how cool it would be to be a statue.

You get lost in your thoughts as you walk a few seconds pass before you release that Twilight has stop walking with you. As you look behind you, you notice her staring at a statue with a face of disgust and anger.
You look over the figure as you walk back to her; it looks like some kind of Chinese dragon smashed together with different animal parts. You kind of laugh at it dumb expression and the poorly picked parts; you look over the head a goat? How does that match a lion paw and…what is that a wing? Cool beard though.

You look to Twilight, “um… you ok?”

Twilight’s voice is raised as she looks at the statue, “How…how could they just leave him standing here!?” She hoofs to the statue and look to you.

You shift your eyes back and forth and don’t know what to think. “It’s just a statue?”

Twilight looks at you, “Just a statue? This is Discord.”

You look over the figure again, “This is one of the things you have fought?”

Twilight holds her head up proudly, “Yes, and I feel as though the Princess needs to be told where he is being kept.”

“What if the Princess put him here?”

Twilight shakes her head, “She would not leave the god of chaos out in a garden.”

You flick at the statue and feel a sense of pride; I just flicked a god…if he is one.

You follow Twilight away from the statue. But as you two walk away you hear a faint rumbling, Twilight turns back to the statue with a pale expression…”what was that…”

You turn back to the sound that resonates from the figure encased in stone and think, no…no way is a stone going to ruin this. You look over the stone, the sound that is now getting increasingly louder sounds like a laugh.

Twilight stares at the stone in fear, “we…we need to get the Princess.”

A faint voice calls from the stones position, “Why would we do that.”

In the blink of an eye a orange film in cases you and Twilight, she lets out a scream but she is quickly silenced by an apple in her mouth. You on the other are too shocked by the event to scream. The statue lets out a flash of orange that blinds you; you close your eyes to avoid the light as you feel yourself getting pulled to the statue.

End of chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 4

Chapter 4- Total cord

“Surprise!”

Your eyes are still shut as these words hit your ear; the happy laughing voice is not what you thought you would hear. You open your eyes and come face to face with the statute only this is not statue. You look at the smiling creatures face, one tooth hangs from his mouth and his coloring to his body is just as mismatched as his body.

You stare into the creatures face, his yellow and orange eyes are kind of creepy but somehow they are calming. The only other time you have seen eyes like this was from Hay Barrel and she wasn’t even real. “Um…hi?”

Discord lets out another laugh as he reaches for you, “Oh happy day, it does speak.” As he talks you feel a party hate being placed on your head, “…You know I thought you were struck dumb but now I can see you’re just slow.” He blows a party whistle at you and throws some confetti at you.

He smiles at you but it quickly fades as you give him an emotionless stare, “Oh honestly can’t you at least have a little bit of fun? She is. ”He snaps his fingers on his claw hand and in a poof of orange smoke you see Twilight standing. She still has the apple in her mouth and she seems to be stuck to the ground. “see she is as happy as a stuffed pig!” he laughs crazily at this joke.

Discord moves his arm over you as he talks, “Honestly I think she is better this way.”

You run over to Twilight and remove the apple from her mouth. She spits a bit as she yells to Discord, “Whatever your planning you can’t get away with it!”

Discord flashes himself next to Twilight, “My Twilight look at you, you must have had a really good year you look bigger, eating well hmm?” His happy orange eyes flicker a darker color as he continues. “I have not been eating well.” He laughs as he talks, “you know being stone and everything.”

Discord flicks his claw and Twilight’s hooves are pulled from the ground.

It’s at this point you notice where you are…or at least what’s around you, the area or room is black but only a small part where you three stand, you can’t see a sky only the grey stone ground that Twilight picks her hooves from.

Twilight looks at Discord and takes a defensive stance as she calls back to him, “Discord I’m not going to play your games this time and…-“

Discord’s eyes turn a coal dark as he lets out a roaring yell interrupting Twilight, “DID I SAY…” He pauses to clear his throat. “One moment please.”

You walk in front of Twilight as Discord finishes his throat clearing with a cup of tea he just poofed into his hand.

As he looks back to you two his eyes change back to the happy orange and yellow and he lets out a laugh as he looks you over, “oh my you have stepped in front of Twilight.” He gives a dramatic sway of his arms, “Whatever should I do?”

Twilight pushes past you to Discord, her voice is now a more raised as she calls to him, “Discord you can’t win, we will use the elements of harmony against you just like before!”

Discord poofs a chair underneath him as he talks, “Aw yes the elements of harmony, just as powerful as the fragile ponies that wield them, tell me how is your loyalty?” He laughs at you now.

Twilight doesn’t back down as she talks, “Discord I know you have something planned and I’m going to stop it.”

Discord laughs as he listens to her, “Oh Twilight you make me laugh.” He poofs a tissue to his claw and blows his nose, after doing this he then eats the tissue. “Where are my manners did you want one?”

You look at him in disgust as he does this.

As the weird creature fiddles with his mismatch arms he talks in a low voice, “You know what Twilight, you're right I’m not going to play games…I am planning an escape and there is nothing you can do to stop it…”

Twilight is taken back by his confession but she is quick to hide it, “You're foolish Discord, when we get out of here we are going to tell Celestia and you can’t do anything to stop us.”

Discord snaps his claw and Twilight’s horn disappears.

“MY horn!”

He lets out a hearty laugh, “Oh don’t worry Twilight events are already set in motion, I just can’t have you two scurrying off before I tell you my plan.” He poofs a glass of chocolate milk into his claw as he talks and sits back in his throne.

Twilight looks at Discord in confusion, “Why…why would you tell us?”

Discord finishes the milk then eats the glass; he talks in a low voice, “Well my dear when I release you from my prison you won’t remember a thing so telling you somethi…-“
Twilight interrupts him again with an excited laugh, “HA, That’s what you think bu…” Twilight’s
mouth is closed shut as her mouth and face seem to morph into each other.
Discord lets out a happy laugh as he watches.

Twilight lets out a muffled squeal as she looks to you. You face Discord and yell at him, “Hey! I don’t care who you are or why you’re a fucking stone but if you thin…”

Discord flashes in front of you and stares you down as he grasps you with his claws, “You dare challenge me!” His orange eyes have changed to the coal black from before as his claws dig into your sides. You cry out in pain as he does this, but you focus on yourself being out of his claws and as you feel your tingling sensation leave your body you open your eyes. You have teleported out of his grip in front of him.

He laughs as he floats back to his floating throne, “ha ha, honestly not killing you was the best mistake I ever made.” He smiles at you as he talks, “You have made my job so much easier!” He points to you with his claw, “Sure having you dead would eventually mess with Twilight but now you and Rainbow dash, uhhh that makes it so much easier!“ He looks to Twilight who now has her eyes focused on you, “Oh Twilight it’s a real shame you won’t remember any of this… it really is an interesting story would you like to hear it?”

Discord is taken by surprises as a green flame passes by his face, “Whoa!”

You breathe heavy after you’re what you just did. Your mind is full of anger; depression and an over feel of... hatred to his voice. You yell to Discord now, “You think my life is a game!?”

Discord laughs as he looks at you, “Chrysalis was right human magic is very strong when it’s used from hatred.”

You let losses another burst of the green flame from your body, you don’t know how you’re doing this it just is flowing through your body now and you feel its tingling all over you. “Do ya?!”

Discord continues to laugh at your anger, “Oh..*ha ha ha* stop please *ha ha ha*. NO more…no more.” He wipes a tear from his eye as he continues, “All I did was give you a cursed book what you did was on your own accord, well maybe a few nudges.” He smiles devilishly as he looks at you.

Your body is shaking as you feel more anger feeling you mind. “…I will not be a puppet to anyone anymore!”

Discord sits back down in his throne, and with a smile and coal colored eyes whispers to you, “you will never have a choice…good bye.”

He snaps his fingers and your sight goes blank.

End of chapter 4

Maybe what's needed is us

Chapter 1 – Maybe what’s needed is us

“There you are; we got worried when you and Twilight didn’t meet us for dinner, but here you are sleeping.” He points to you as he walks to the other bed in the room, “You better get your rest you’re going to need it. Because you and me are going all over the place.”

You rub your head as you look at Spike, you feel really strange as you think to yourself, a sleep? I don’t even remember going into my room?...dumb hangover. “Hey Spike, you said dinner what time is it?”

Spike pulls his bed back to get into it, “Oh it’s pretty late, you missed a really cool firework show by the way.”

You continue to rub your head as you lay back down on the bed, “sounds cool, where is Twilight?”

Spike turns to face you from the other bed, “she’s in her room, you better not go in there Shining armor is pretty mad, she never went to talk to him today.”

You smirk at his comment; I don’t really care if he’s mad.

Spike yawns, “Well night dude.”

You nod your head as he rolls over. You close your eyes for a few minutes trying to go to sleep, but for some reason you can’t sleep.

You lay in the bed for the next few hours staring at the ceiling. When you start to feel sleep creeping onto you, you hear a sound you wish you didn’t hear, you look over to Spike in shock…oh crap he snoozes. You let out a loud sigh as you pull the pillows closer to your head. You fiddle with the bed for the next few minutes before you can’t take the sound anymore.

You quietly make your way to the door; you peer into the hallway, it’s almost completely black. You slowly close the door behind you and make your way to Twilight's room. You take one last look down the hallways before you slowly and quietly open the door.

But as you close it lets out a high pitched squeak, you shudder at the sound. The room behind you turns purple as you look to Twilight. She is sat up on the bed with her horn glowing, “You know you probably should not be in here, everypony is telling me Shining is very upset and if he found you…that would be really bad.”

You playfully look around the room as you walk over to the bed, “Well Spike snores louder than you.”

Twilight give a huff at your comment. You smile as you crawl into the open spot next to her.

She curls up next to you as you lay down; she gives a giggle as she moves closer, “At least I won’t be cold.”

You move your hoof around her as you pull her closer, “Goodnight.”

The mixture of red and orange that is swirled above feels peaceful as the sunsets. From this hill that you and Twilight have been resting on you can see all over Ponyville. The grass you still lay on is warm and is a nice change from the cool breezes that pass by. You look down to where Twilight’s head happily resting on you, her eyes are closed and she seems to be in a bliss filled rest. You at this moment have never felt so free. As you look over her colored main in the slowly fading light you think about how life is so simple here.

“Hey!”

You look to the call of the tomboyish voice that has just ruined your perfect little moment.

Twilight awakes from her relaxes position to face Rainbow, “hello Rainbow…what brings you by?”

Rainbow dash lands in front of the both of you, she looks to be out of breath which you know is completely unlike her but she still has her normal happy smile. Your body tightens up as she gets a little closer to you both.

She has her eyes fixed on you as she starts to talk in a happy voice, “I love you!” At the end of her sentence she throws herself at you with a rushed kiss.

As your lips lock hers you focus on Twilight's face, her mouth hangs ajar with shock and confusion as her soft purple eyes are begin to get a water film around them.

As Rainbow breaks her kiss you escape her grasp and reach your arms out to Twilight, “Twilight I can explain!”

You awake at this moment, with your scream still ringing on your head as it fades to the back of your mind. You turn to face Twilight, but you see an empty bed. You jerk your head up fast and begin searching the room for her, “Twilight!?”

She is stand towards the door not even a few feet from you, she giggles at you, “Are you ok?”

You rub your head with your hooves as your know your about to regret your next action, you lower your voice as you talk to her, “Twilight…I have to tell you something.”

She looks at you with a smile as she waits for you to continue. She is completely obvious to what you're about to say. You bite your lip as you debate with yourself on if you should tell her, but you eventually give into the idea that she will take it ok and you will feel alot better…now you just need to find the right words and carefully le- “I had sex with Rainbow dash!”

You clasp your hooves to your mouth as you stop your emotional call out.

Twilight’s happy smile quickly fades as she shifts where she stands, “wh…what?”

You try to correct yourself, “Twilight I mean.. I I was drunk and…”

Twilight moves her hoof to her mouth, “What?”

Your quick to correct yourself but as you continue your emotional state starts to push the conversation farther and farther from just a simple thing, “I mean the other day…I..we did something that…but don’t think it’s bad I could not stop thinking of you.” Right as you say this you smack your hoof to your head, WHAT the fuck are you saying brain!

Twilight’s voice is now a shaky yell as she calls to you, “Oh and that makes it better?!”

Twilight turns herself to the door and opens it. As she does in the doorway Rainbow dash stands, “Twilight we need to talk abou…” she looks past her to see your face.

Twilight looks back to you with tear filled eyes, “I…I…Don’t ever want to see you again.”

You swallow hard as you nod your head and look to the ground.

Twilight turns back to Rainbow, her mouth quivered but she can’t say anything as she pushes past her friend and gallops down the hallway.

You sit on the bed as you silently destroy yourself inside. You hold back all of your emotions as you way to the door. As you bring your head up to Rainbow dash you can’t bear to look at her in the eye, you push past her into the hall.

Rainbow’s tomboyish voice is low as she puts her hoof on you, “Are…are you ok.”

You continue down the hall in silence. You keep your head fixed on the ground as you hear the doors around you opening.

“HEY!”

The male voice behind you seems to be getting closer and the sound of hooves slamming on the ground is getting increasingly louder. You turn to face Shining armor as he pokes you with his hoof and yells, “What did you do.”

You grind your teeth a bit as you stare at him, when you finally talk it’s in a low voice, “I am jus-…”

Shining cuts you off before you can’t finish, “Just going to what walk away?! This is not over you hurt my little sister and if you think tha-“

You turn and walk away from him as he continues to yell at you.

“Hey I’m talking to you!” You feel a hoof grasp at you back. You swing you head back to him and at least you can’t hold back your emotions. A gust of green magic follows you and you throw him down the hallway.

Everypony around you gasps as he hits the ground and rubs his head. He looks at you in shock not knowing what to make of the earth pony doing magic. You tremble at what you just did, you breathing is hard as you look at everyone's face. You turn from them and gallop down the hall to get out of the castle, your mind is blank as you run but as you run you hear a faint laughing in the back of your mind.

End of chapter 1

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 – fun in chaos

You finally give yourself a chance to breathe only when you feel you are a far enough ways away from the castle. You stare at the ground as hundreds of thoughts rush your head, what was that! What am I doing! Where am I going!... you swallow a dry throat as you study the stone walk way. Your heart pounds as you rest for the moment, it beats your chest each beat is pain filled as you can’t get the thought of Twilight's face out of your head.

“Wait up!”

The tomboyish voice calls out from behind you.

You turn to see Rainbow dash flying towards you, you want to run but you’re too tired to.

She lands next to you and shows a look of concern on her face, “Listen I don’t know what that was but YOU can’t just leave?!”
You don’t feel angry towards her but you still don’t feel comfortable around her, “I’m going back to Ponyville…then I don’t know.”

The cyan pegasus wings stand out as she raises her voice to you, “You can’t just leave? When I first tried out for the wonderbolts and failed I wanted to quit but I didn't.” You just go…-“

“Rainbow! This is now some try out, I…I can’t do this anymore! Ever since I came her all that has happened to me is SHIT! I…I just want to go home!”

Rainbow flies in front of you as you try to walk away from her, “Well I’m not going to let you.”
You let out a single laugh as you walk around her. But as you try to go around her she just steps in front of you. “Stop!”

She lowers her head and jumps on you knocking you down, she stops her hoof on the ground next to your head as she scream at you, “NO! You’re not the only one who feels bad for what happened!” Her eyes shimmer as she talks, “Twilight is my friend and I will not let me be the reason for…for THIS!”

You look over her face and think, WHY…why do you have to tear up to! Can I not just leave?

Your mind is cut short as you hear two male voices yelling at you, “Stop right there!”

The two guard ponies stand around you both.

Rainbow waves her hoofs at them, “its ok he’s fine no ne...-“ her voice is muffled as the ponies slide a black sack over her face. Your vision is cut short as you feel one come over you.

You hear the sound of teleporting as you struggle to get the bag off your face. As you free yourself you look at what’s around you. The room is a small darkened room with bars around you…I’m in jail!? You focus on the guard ponies that stands outside of the cell, “All I want to do is leave!”

You hear a voice from behind you shout to the guards. “YA me too!”

The guards stare at you with a stern face, “You will wait for Shining armor.”

Your heart sinks at the name, oh great he’s probably still made about the magical bitch slap. As the two guard ponies leave you slump to the ground.

The pony to your right continue to talk, “Hey man…you want to buy some moondust?”

You look at the tweaking pony, well unicorn. He seems to be shivering as he fiddles with his hooves, his coat is red and there is a white film around his snout, the ponies’ hair is white and cyan and his hooves are a different color from his coat. You stare at him and smack your head against the bar, great I’m probably going to die from Shining armor and I’m stuck with a crackhead.

You hear the guards come back into the room this time you watch as they are dragging Rainbow dash to the cell next to you, as the drag her she is yelling at them, “What the hay is this? I’m Rainbow Dash ! You know one of the holders on the elements of harmony! Why am I in here?”

One of the guards looks to Rainbow, “You will be free to go in a minute, we are just waiting for Shining armor.”

The two guards leave and as they do you snap your head to Rainbow dash, and talk in a defeated voice, “…why?”

She looks at you in shock, “oh you think this is me?”

You blink your eyes at her, “yes, yes I do. You should have let me go!”

She lifts herself off the ground of the cell, “NO! I will not be the cause of my best friend losing somepony!”

You slump to the ground of the cell as you stare at her, “…I never blamed you.” You stare at the ground and watch as a tear rolls from your face to the stone slabs beneath you.

The pony to your right stares at you, “Hey.. are you ok bro?”

You shake your head to him.

He gets closer to you and whispers, “Did they get you for plot watching too?”

You squint at him in confusion, but before you could say anything you hear the sound of hooves outside of the cell.

You bring your head up to the white stallion and give him a smile.
He has a serious face as he talks, “You’re charged with hitting the royal guard”

You laugh a little at his comment, “So what’s that do I have to shine you hooves?”

Rainbow shakes her head at you comment but you don’t care.

Shining bring his face closer to you, “You have made Twilight upset…that’s something you don’t want to do.” “I can’t charge you with that but I will make sure you get something for it.”
You look down to the ground, “Well…you should.”

Shining's proud expression is slightly changed at your tone as you continue, “I promised her she would never get hurt…” you shallow back a sadness as you talk, “…But, yet I ended up breaking that promise.”

Before he can speak a guard bust into the room out of breath, “Sir! Some...something is attacking the castle!”

Shining looks to the ponies in surprise, “Where?”

The guard is panting as he talks, “The…The throne room.”

Shining gasps as he listens, “The Princess!” As he leaves the room Rainbow yells at him, “Hey let me out! If it’s bad you’re going to need the elements of harmony!” But he is out of the door before he can hear her.

You continue to stare at the ground.

Rainbow reaches through the bars and bats you in the head, “Snap out of it! Twilight will be there! And without me the elements are useless!”

“So, what do I do?”

Rainbow points to the unicorn to your right, “Teleport us out of here!”

The unicorn looks at Rainbow dash, “Sorry the guards put a spell that stops magic while I’m in here.”

Rainbow flaps her wings as she looks back to you, “The guards don’t know to do that to you! So go on do it.”

You think about it to yourself and then shrug her off, “The Princess will handle it.”

Rainbow’s voice cracks as she yells at you, “And what if something happens to Twilight?”

Your ear twitches at her name, “She will be fine.”

Rainbow lands back on the ground, “ I said I was sorry what do you want from me?”

You stare at her, “Like I said it wasn’t your fault.”

Rainbow sits down in her cell, “you’re not even going to try?”

You hear faint screams from outside, Rainbow looks at you with concerned face. Everything with common sense is telling you to stay inside and to try not meddle in these affairs. But there is a small voice in your mind still trying to convince you to help Rainbow with what she needs to do. You look at her for a few moments, her rainbow mane is slightly darkened by the dirt room you both currently reside in and she is staring towards the sounds outside. You mind now rest with your promise to Twilight… You stand up from the ground and with a big sigh look to Rainbow, “You gotta die of something.” You give a faint smile as you look at her, “Where to?”

Rainbow gives a big smile, “Nothing bad ever happens, and the throne room was where the guard said. Do you know where that is?”

You nod your head, god I hope this works…you concentrate on the thought of the throne room, the only time you were there you also most died from a fake Celestia. With that thought in mind you close your eyes as you hear the magic growing around you and Rainbow.

End of chapter 2

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 – Wonders of a Queen.

The feeling of teleporting is something you feel will never get normal to you. The sounds of rushing air the flashes of light and the fact you don’t understand how you could do this are reason why you can’t open your eyes.

As you feel your legs placed on the ground you continue to hold your eyes, until you hear Rainbows voice, “Twilight!?”

The throne room looks a lot different from the last time you saw it, the marble columns and stone floors are no longer white they are now a wacky pallet of colors. But you don’t really care about the room as your eyes see something more troubling than mismatch colors. Scattered across the room there are stone ponies, the ponies look like guards as you trace your eyes around the room you see something that drops your heart, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy have been turned to stone statues.

In the center of the group Twilight is standing staring at you. Her eyes are red and she looks scared.

Looks around the room in shock, “What happened?!”

Twilight talks in a low voice, “Discord…”

Rainbow springs from the ground, “That creep wher…-“

Rainbow’s sentence is stopped as she falls to the ground, her cyan coat now grey, her rainbow life filled mane a dull lifeless stone.

You stare at her in a fear sprung paralysis.

You hear a deep ominous manly laugh echoing around the room, “You see Twilight, I told you he would come back for you.”

You look around the room trying to locate the voice but you can’t. You look at Twilight and notice her hooves are morphed into the ground and her horn is covered in stone. You stare at them, how? How could they be the stone?

The voice continues to ricochet off the walls, “…A pony driven by a promise and filled by stupidity. Honestly you would think one death is enough, hmm?”

You walk closer to Twilight but as you do the stone figures close around you. A laugh now echoes from the walls, “Ah ah, not yet.” You look at the ponies that surround you, one stands out from the others, Shining armor…some royal guard.

The laughing gets louder now, “Really? Even faced with this? You crack a joke to yourself.

You’re taken back at the voice, “You can read minds?”

You hear a poof from behind you, “Yes!”

You turn to face a Chinese dragon looking creature with mismatched animal parts. You’re quickly drawn to his eyes which are completely black, “You know, human you’re a lot of fun to kill…you know that right?”

You feel your head nodding, even though you’re not doing it.

The creature moves his face close to his, his goatee hangs from his chin now only inches from your face, “You don’t remembered me do you?”

You feel your head shake side to side. The creatures’ eyes turn a orange color and his voice lightens up, “Petty I thought this would be more fun. Oh well.” He snaps his fingers and the statues part so that you can see Twilight. She holds her head up to see you. You look back at the creature but it’s vanished.

You run over to Twilight, “Are you ok?”

She looks at you, “You…you came back?”

You give her a confused look, “What?”

The creature poofs next to you two in a laughing, “Of course he did Twilight? Just look at him, he’s stupid.”

Twilight yells at him, “Discord you have had your fun! No more games let everypony go!”

He stops laughing and smacks her in the face.

You’re quick to ram him away from her and take a defensive stance in front of her.
But he continues to laugh and point at you, “You…you think ha ha ha.” He stops laughing as he continues, “no but really…” He sways his claw and you feel yourself thrown across the room.

As you tumble in the air you feel weightless as you fly through the air, and the room looks like a mash of color but the feeling doesn't last long as you hit a stone pillar with a loud WHACK! You moan as you turn yourself over onto your back.

Twilight yells at Discord as you hear his footsteps getting closer to you, “STOP Discord!”

He turns back to her with a laugh, “Why should I? At least he is not stone.”

You feel his warm breath enter your ear as he whispers, “yet…”

You blow at his face; I want to be superpony…

Discord laughs at you, “You’re funny…so you can watch first.”

Discord turns and walks back towards Twilight, his arms happily sway past his body as he hums. You pull yourself to your hooves as you call back to him. Your voice is weak as you talk, “What…Am I to mu…-“

Your voice is cut short as your tongue turns to stone.

Twilight cries your name as your stone body stand silently in the room.

Discord puts his lion paw on her mane, “Shhh…don’t cry…you’ll be fine.” He smiles devilishly.

As he raises his hand the doors to the room fly open. “Discord!” The regal voice is stressed.

Discord floats the throne over to him as he sits, “Why hello Celestia, nice weather hmmm?”

She is unfazed by his comment, “Discord, I offer you one chance to stop.”

He taps his claw and paw together as he smiles to her, “Go on.”

Celestia lowers her horn and a bright gold light shines into the room, you feel yourself able to talk again, “..ch?” You blink your eyes furiously as you look to Discord.

Every other pony in the room still stands as a statue.

Discord laughs, “A little late Celestia, but you did get the human back.” A scoreboard appears above his head and the score reads Celestia 1 Discord over 9,000.

Celestia looks shocked as she stares at Discord, “What…what have you done?”

Twilight calls out to the Princess, “He has turned them all to stone and is planning to take over Equestria!”

Celestia look back to Discord, “But yo…-“

Celestia’s white body and shining mane quickly fade dull as she stops talking.

Twilight again lets out a scream, “WHY!”

Discord laughs again, “Oh come on Twilight being a stone is fun you ge..-“

Twilight fades from his sight and for a moment he is confused, “Twilight?”

A bolt of purple magic strikes past his face.

He dodges it and begins to laugh, “Oh yes I forgot the stupid human learn teleporting.”

You smile to him proudly as Twilight lowers her head, “Discord change everypony back!”

Discord smiles past Twilight to you, “You should remember teleporting.” He snaps his claw.

You smile at his gesture, what the hell is that supost… you fall over to the ground in pain, your body rock back and forth as every suppressed memory begins flooding your mind, every pain you have every experienced.

Discord laughs as Twilight turns back to you, “Really! No really humans have so much pent up magic that you just can’t handle. You’re a ticking time bomb that can be lit by standing too close to a dim bulb!”

Twilight puts her hooves around you, “I have already lost you once…don’t do this to me again!” Her eyes are still red from what she has already seen but now they are turning water again. You can’t hear a word she is saying but you don’t need to hear her to lie, “I..i’m ffffine.” You fake a smile as you continue to have muscle spasms.

Discord poofs an oversized clock in front of him, “Can we please wrap this up? I need to be crowned king of the land at four.”

Twilight leans her head and kisses you. As she does this you feel your mind rush slow down. Twilight’s eyes flick as she holds the kiss, a tear rolls from her cheek and onto yours. Your mind starts to clear as she breaks the kiss. She smiles at you…”I love you…”

You watch as she turns back to Discord, her legs shift as she stands, she lowers her head. A green film starts to form around her and seems to resonating from her horn.

Discord looks at her in surprise. “You…you can’t just harvest human magic!? You can’t jus…-“

The room flashes a bright green with a loud booming sound. You look away as the light sparks around the room in fast strobe light effect.

End of chapter 3

Chapter 4

Chapter 8

As the room starts to settle, Twilight stands on with her front hooves on the ground and her back hooves holding her back side up in the air, panting.

The ponies around the room are well that, there ponies again, every one of them.

The all hold their heads and sit on the ground coughing or blinking hard.

You pick yourself from the ground and gallop over to Twilight, you wrap your hooves around her,
“I’m sorry...are you ok?”

Twilight warps her hooves around you as she talks in a stressed low voice, “yes.”

Celestia walks next to you two and talks as her gaze is fixed on Discord, “He will need to be moved…far away.”

You look at the one statute left in the room; he is stuck in a laughing stance which sends a chill down your back. But you push it away from your mind as you nuzzle Twilight's head as she buries it into your chest.

Celestia raises an eyebrow at you two, and you look away from her face.

Twilight brings her face from you and looks to the Princess.

Celestia looks at you and then smiles at her, “I’m happy you have taken my friendship assignment so seriously.”

Twilight blushes as she looks at her, but she is still too weak to talk.
Celestia looks to you, “I must ask you something, as the only human here I feel this choices lies with you.” You blink at her waiting her question, “…Discord cannot stay here, I’m asking if we can send him to your earth…as the statue.”

You think about it for a minute as you look at the statue, you nod your head at her.

Celestia smiles to you, “Thank you.” She then looks to Twilight, “Twilight you have demonstrated great power and responsibility today…I could not be prouder. “

She brings her tired head from you again and speaks in a tired voice, “Thank you Princess.”

Celestia smiles at her student, “I’m sorry though I don’t think we can honor you tonight; there is a city that needs to be calmed.” She turns back to Discord, “And a matter that must be dealt with.” Celestia looks back to her, “You need your rest, you and your friends are happily welcomed to stay here until you decide to return to Ponyville.”

Twilight gives a soft nod as he lays her head back onto you.

Celestia looks around the room, and talks in a loud regal voice, “Discord has been defeated! Spread the word!”

Celestia leaves with a mass of cheering guards.

The ponies that now crowding you are Twilight considered friends. Each one is spamming questions at her as she slowly gets to her hooves. Twilight give a low answer as she walks with you, “I’m fine… I’ll see you all later.” You walk close to her as you follow her out of the room.

As you near the door Shining stands by it. You pause for a moment as he hugs his sister in a crying heap of joy. “I thought I lost you.”

Twilight is silent as she hugs her brother.

As he releases her he looks to you.

You look to the ground not knowing what to say, but before you could say anything you feel him embrace you in a hug, “Thank you.” Your half shocked at him and half overcome with joy that he is not arresting you right now. As the stallion release you he turns back to Twilight, “Get your rest and be ok you hear me?”

Twilight nods her head as she continues to walk. You start after her but you’re stopped for a moment but shinning, “Take care of her.”

Twilight waits at the door as you catch up to her, her mane is sprawled out all over the place and she looks like she could collapse at any moment. You embrace her and think of the room that is still across the castle, in a flash you feel your hooves planted on the ground. You set Twilight to bed. In moment she is fast asleep. You linger over her for a moment before sitting in a nearby chair. As you sit down you bury head into your hooves trying to collect your thoughts from what has happened today. You think to yourself, I’m going to die here…every time there is always something new… you look over the mare that sleeps in the bed in front of you…how, how can she deal with this. You feel a panic attack creeping onto you as you look at your hooves; you’re not even human anymore! All the suppress thoughts you have been storing for so long…you still feel them swirling in your head. You’re starting to feel like it’s too much… Twilight stirs in the bed in front of you, her eyes open and she looks at you, “Are you ok?”

You look at her soft eyes…how can she ask me that? She just defeated a god?! You stammer with you words as you look at her…”I’m fine.”

Twilight stares at you for a few seconds before her eyelids become too heavy to hold. You continue to stare at her as you remember what she said…love.

End of chapter 8
Maybe for...

Author's Note

* re-posted the ending because I had to tweak something.*

Maybe what's needed...

Chapter 1 – Maybe what’s needed…

The mixture of red and orange that is swirled above feels peaceful as the sunsets. From this hill that you and Twilight have been resting on you can see all over Ponyville. The grass you still lay on is warm and is a nice change from the cool breezes that pass by. You look down to where Twilight’s head happily resting on you, her eyes are closed and she seems to be in a bliss filled rest. You at this moment have never felt so free. As you look over her colored main in the slowly fading light you think about how life is so simple here.

“Hey!”

You look to the call of the tomboyish voice that has just ruined your perfect little moment.

Twilight awakes from her relaxes position to face Rainbow, “hello Rainbow…what brings you by?”

Rainbow dash lands in front of the both of you, she looks to be out of breath which you know is completely unlike her but she still has her normal happy smile. Your body tightens up as she gets a little closer to you both.

She has her eyes fixed on you as she starts to talk in a happy voice, “I’m late!” At the end of her sentence she throws herself at you with a rushed kiss.

As your lips lock hers you focus on Twilight's face, her mouth hangs ajar with shock and confusion as her soft purple eyes are begin to get a water film around them.

As Rainbow breaks her kiss you escape her grasp and reach your arms out to Twilight, “Twilight I can explain!”

Twilight closer her eyes and disappears with a flash of purple magic.

Rainbow dash now jumps on you again and knocks you back to the ground, “We’re late!”

Your eyes shoot open as the words hit your eardrums; you quickly snap your head to face Twilight.

“We are going to be late get up!”

You head is a pounding mess as you try to make sense of what you’re seeing. She frantically runs around the room stuffing books and scrolls into the satchel that is hanging around her neck, she notices you still sitting in the bed. She yells again at you in a high pitched voice, “Get up!”

Your head pounding only gets worst as the squall hits your ears. You know this could only mean one thing... I have a hangover… you slam your head back down on the pillow and began rubbing
your head with your hooves as you talk in a low voice, “For what?”

Twilight now stands at the bed side facing you, “For WHAT? We had to be at the train station three hours ago!”

You peer out from under your hooves as you think, three hours? Since when does she wake up late? You feel the covers being stripped from you as she continues to rush around the room.

“OH, look at these they need to be washed.” She turns her gaze off the damp covers, “How do I look?”

Her mane looks slightly matted and her coat is ruffled all around her neck and her back coat looks to be standing up in random places, you smile at her, “like you had a good night.”

She blushes at you as she talks, “No what I meant.” She balls the covers up in a magic ball and throws them at you.

It takes you a few seconds to climb out of the bed linen avalanche and plant your hooves on the ground. But when you do your quickly rushed to the staircase, “Should we clean up?”

Twilight is using her magic to comb her hair as she continues to push you down the stairs, “NO time!”

As you reach the bottom of the library the front door gets a purple aura around it as if flies open to reveal the bright day time sun. You squint your eyes at the brightness, note to self, never drink cider!

As you are pushed outside Twilight begins galloping down the road. You take a moment to rub your head but it’s no use with her high pitched yelling. You give a loud sigh as you gallop after her.

Each step you take sends a queasy feeling throughout your stomach. You try to take your mind off of throwing up as you continue to push yourself forward. You think to yourself, if I throw up…aim it at somepony.

Your torture is close to its end as you see the train station get near, the multicolored train looks more like a bunch of cakes and other kinds of sweets on wheels. The train has a slight rumble to it as you get near it.

You and Twilight slow down as you get closer to the train, she paints as she talks, “Well…we…made it.”

You try to hold back your still queasy stomach as you nod in agreement.

“Yoo-hoo over here!”

You and Twilight look toward the sound of the call and see Rarity waving her hoof at you.

You both walk over to her, Twilight talks as she gets closer to her, ”Sorry we’re late.”

Rarity again waves her hoof at her, “Oh it’s quite ok darling, I was hoping I would not be the only one fashionably late. Besides it’s not like these trains don’t run all day.” She pats at her overhanging mane as she talks, “I just could not pack today.”

Twilight looks down at the satchel that is still around her, “What did you need to pack for two days?”

Rarity bats at her with her hoof, “oh you know only the important things.” Rarity hooves to Spike who is trying to fit a mass of bags into one of the cars in the back of the train, Rarity now turns her gaze back to Twilight. She brings her hoof to her mouth in a gasp, “Oh your mane?! Are you ok?”

You look at Twilight's mane, it was straight after she combed it but after her run the same messed up hair has returned to her. You laugh a little as you notice Twilight blushing a little.

She pats at her mane, “We got up late so…”

Rarity again lets another gasp out only this time it’s more of a laugh as she hoofs to you, “Twilight up late? Looks like you’re finally having an effect on her.” She puts her hoof around Twilight, “I’ll fix you up when we get on board…”

The train whistles blow at the end of her breath. The ringing sends your mind into a frenzy of pain as you grind your teeth, never aging you scream to yourself.

The door you three stand in front of opens to a stallion in a little blue outfit and blue vest, “Tickets please.”

You’re in front of the door so you’re the first one the pony looks to as he hold his hoof out to you; you stare back at him with a nervous laugh…”um.”

Twilight floats two gold colored pieces of paper past you, “This is for us two.”

The stallion looks over the tickets and moves aside for you to enter. You and Twilight walk pass him to find a seat. As you do this the chocolate colored stallion pats you on the back and hoofs to Twilight, “You should be more prepared sunny, don’t want to look bad in front of your lady friend do ya?”

Twilight smiles as she takes a seat.

The pony continues to crack his comments, “Oh better get over there sunny, don’t want to get your master mad do ya.”

You would give a remake but you're nauseous feel is taking some of your spite away. You walk past him to Twilight and take your seat.

Rarity and Spike enter and take a seat across from you.

“Uhg, I honestly don’t think they clean these seats.” Rarity studies the seats as she continues to complain.

You and Twilight both roll your eyes as you listen to her.

Your head is starting to settle a bit as you listen to Rarity’s ranting, which is surprising seeing as how she hasn’t stopped talking, you nod your head blankly as you listen to her.
You watch as the blue vested pony lock’s the train doors; you then hear the whistles to the train blow which sends your head spinning again. You let out a low moan as you feel it pulse; the worst part is that now you feel the train’s motion. You think to yourself…these ponies can build towns, cities and trains…but they can’t make less bounce tracks!

You rub your head as you continue to listen to Rarity…this is going to be a long ride. Twilight lays her head on your upper shoulder. You look at her and she gives you a happy smile. You smile back to her as the train pulls out of the station.
