My new life... HAS PONIES?!

“Good morning. Would you like some breakfast?” I asked placing a stack of pancakes in the middle of the table. “Yes, thank you” she said taking a seat at the table. I served us three pancakes, two eggs, and four slices of toast. We sat there and ate, all there was is silence. I broke that silence by saying “so, what are your plans for today?”

“Hide in my house until nightmare night is over” she said. The words “nightmare night” rang a bell. “What’s “nightmare night?” I asked. She explained and I thought “so it’s like Halloween.” We finished and I washed the plates.

“Do you want to come with me to the market?” she asked opining the front door. I agreed to and walked out the door. We approached a crowd of ponies going to different shops. “I need to buy bags of animal food” she said walking towered a stand owned by a blue mane, yellow coat unicorn. “Hello, can I get twelve pounds of animal food?” fluttershy asked.

The unicorn placed the bags on the counter and said “that will be thirty bits.” “Thirty bits? That’s twice as much as last time” fluttershy said pulling out only fifteen bits. “The price went up. So are you going to pay or not?” she said grabbing the bags. “But I only have fifteen…” fluttershy said before the unicorn interrupted. “Then I guess you aren't getting anything” the unicorn said.

*sigh*”let’s go” fluttershy said walking past me. I grabbed her shoulder and said “hold on a second.” “What?” she asked. “You want to buy food for your animal friend right?” I said releasing her.  “Yes, but I can’t afford it.” She said. “Just let me handled that.” I said walking to the stand.

I banged on the counter catching the attention of the now shocked unicorn. “Y-yes… how may I help you?” she asked shaking like a leaf being blown by a slight breeze. “My friend over there wanted to buy twelve pounds of animal food…” I said. “Yeah and I told her its thirty bits, nothing less.” She said with an annoyed expression. “Right, but either you cut the price in half or I‘ll do the same to everything else in this shop.” I said placing both my palms flat on the table.

“Are you threating me?” she asked. “No. I’m just giving a little advice.” I said hearing her sigh in defeat. “Fine, fifteen bits” she said in a rough voice. Fluttershy placed the bits on the counter and I picked up the bags. We headed back to fluttershy’s house.

I entered the living room and placed the bags in the chair next to the kitchen. “So, anything else you need to do that I can help with?” I asked cupping my hands together. “No, not really, but you can ask the girls if they need your help.” She said pouring bird feed in a cage hanging by a chain connected to the ceiling. I left the house to go see if twilight needed any help.  “Excuse me, do you know were twilight sparkle lives?” I asked a nearby Pegasus.

“Over there” he said pointed to a large tree that looked like it had a house fused with it. I knocked on the door of the tree house. The door opened, I couldn't see who answered. I looked around until I heard somepony ask “who are you?”  “Who said that?” I asked.

“Down here.” I looked down to see a short purple scaled, green spike dragon. “Ugh, who are you? “ I asked trying not to hug the adorable creature.  “I’m spike, twilight’s assistant. Who are you?” I crouched down to his level and said “I’m troy newcomer, a friend of twilight. Is she here?”

“Yeah, just sit in the chair while I get her.” Spike said walking up the steps. I sat down and saw that there were book shelves on every wall. I got up off my seat and looked at a few books. “Daring doo, pony anatomy, advance magic, etc.” I thought looking at the covers.  “Hello troy. What brings you here?” twilight asked standing behind me.

“I wanted to know if there was anything I could do for you” I said turning to her. “Well, you could help me with a spell.” she said. “O.k. what is it?” I asked crossing my arms together. “Just stay right there” she said moving back a few steps. Before I could say another word a bright flash filled the room.

I opened my eyes to see that everything around me was forty feet tall. I looked up to see twilight and spike facing down at me. “Oh sweet celestia! Are you alright?” She said her voice booming in my ears. “Yeah I’m good” I said covering my ears. There was a knock at the door and spike went to answer it.

“Hello the most gorgeous creature in equestria.” Spike said his irises changed to hearts. The visitor was rarity; behind her was a white feline hissing at spike. “Hello darling.” She said to twilight overlooking spike. “Hello rarity” both twilight and I said. Rarity just stared at me, probably thinking “what in god’s name happened?”

“Pardon me for asking dearies. What happened?” she said. “Twilight wanted to test a spell, since I was the one willing to do so she cast it, and now I’m the size of a mouse.” I said climbing up the leg of a table.  “Don’t worry; the spell should wear off in ten minutes.” She said sending spike off to make tea. As spike left I saw the girls looking at me. They looked like they saw a ghost.

“Troy. Don’t move” twilight said. My body stiffened as I felt a warm, fish scented, breeze. I turned to see rarity’s cat eyeing me down. “Ugh… good girl” I said stepping back only to trip on fall. My heart was pounding as fast as a lion chasing it’s pray.

It walked over to me, the table shaking with each step. The beast raises its palm, sharp claws appearing out of its ungula crest. The cat forced down the limb. I rolled to the left avoiding a painful end. I got up to my feet running to the other side of the table.

I jumped off, the cat followed close behind. I ran straight for the book case. Twilight and rarity were trying to catch the feline. “Opal, stop this instant!” rarity demanded, but the cat refused to listen. I hid behind the books; opal reached its hand behind the books, searching for me.

Opal’s hand still extended I saw a ready mouse trap. I gently pushed the trap to the palm. A *snap* followed by a loud “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” The cat held its palm tightly. Seeing the window of opportunity to escape, I ran to the kitchen.

I saw spike wearing an apron, holding a tray of tea. Hearing opal running towered me, I sprinted underneath the purple dragon. Opal attempted to do the same, but trips spike, and causes him to drop the tray. Hot tea splashed everywhere; I managed to dodge it by hiding behind the leg of a chair. Opal was soon glowing in a blue aura, levitating in the air.
