Strange Morning

Load Full StoryNext Chapter

  It was a beautiful morning in the small town of Ponyville. The sun shone in the sky as bright as a spotlight, the sky was clear of clouds, and the birds sung among the bright green foliage. It seemed like it was going to be a great day. The marketplace was full of shoppers, buying supplies and food from the stands.

  Suddenly, from down the street, a man wearing a green shirt and grey pants came down the street, walking in a unnatural and robotic fashion. He walked up to one of the stands, the pony who ran it was very nervous of the never before seen creature.

  "Is there something I can help you with? We sell melons, blackberries, and..."

  The mare noticed the creatures face went to one of no expression to one of shock. The man looked around nervously, before making a scowl and staring into the mare's soul.

  "Okay, you know what? I think you need to leave."

  The mare running the stand backed away, but to her shock the man walked through the stand without any difficulty. Several ponies looked at the strange being as the mare backed up against the wall of a building.

  "Get away from me!" The mare yelled, scared out of her wits. "I just asked you if you wanted anything!"

  The mare gasped as she felt the man grab her and start dragging her towards a building.

  "I'm sorry, but I don't know what the deal is with you tonight." The man angrily said, still scowling at the mare. Ponies backed away from the man as he went up to one of the large homes, the mare struggling and screaming for help. He opened up the door and went inside, still carrying the mare. He then turned around to the door once he was inside and shoved the mare out the door.

  "We'll be fine, you should just GO." Was the last thing the angry man said before shutting the door and locking it.

  The mare looked up at the door in confusion, trying to figure out what exactly had just happened.

  "You okay miss?" An orange mare asked, known to most ponies in the town of Ponyville as Applejack.

  "Yeah..." Was her response. "I'm going to head back to my stand..."

  "Ah'll deal with this varmint here." Applejack said as she went up to the door of the building. She heard two voices arguing with each other from within the home. She pounded on the door several times, face showing aggression.

  "Hey, ya'll two better open this door!" She loudly exclaimed.

  "Oh--- She's here!"

  "What? You said she'd be coming an hour from now!"

  "No no, she's right on time!"

  "Trip!"

  After a few seconds, the door opened and revealed the man. His arms spread out as if wanting to give a hug to the cowpony, and his face showed happiness.

  "Applejack! God it's been so long since we've seen you!"

  "Ah never even meet ya before!"

  The man's face went to one of no expression. He then said "Oh, well... Glad you could make it..."

  "Why'd ya take that mare into here and throw her out?"

  "Y--- Yeah come on in." Trip walked into the room. "It'll be just a sec while I go get Grace..." The man said as he walked off into a hallway and into a doorway on the right. Applejack was angry at why Trip wasn't answering her questions. He stormed into the room, muttering to herself. She noticed the room was painted with grayscale colors, a bar and some shelves were at one side of the room. A couch was at the far right corner of the room, and a glass pane that was the window showed a city skyline that reminded her of Manehattan. When she moved up to it, she grew confused as to how it was possible for something like this to happen.

  "No, no! Here we are!" Applejack snapped her head towards a doorway that lead to a small hallway. A woman that she guessed was Grace came out, followed by Trip. "Applejack," The woman spoke, "Hi! How are you, oh it's so nice to see you it feels like it's been forever!"

  "Yeah, it has been a long time."

  Applejack was surprised at the fact the woman also knew her name. "Ah said I never even met ya'll before!"

  The strange couple both looked at each other with slight surprise.

  "Well... Uh... Make yourself at home I guess..." Grace said.

  "How in the hay do you know my name!?" Applejack angrily asked the couple.

  "What?" Trip started, "No! No! No! I'm good, we're good, everything's good."

  "Why in the buck are you acting like ya both know me!? I never even meet ya'll!" Applejack angrily asked yet again, pointing her hoof at the two.

  They both looked at each other shocked.

  "Wait... You think we should have... Some more sex?" Trip asked, making an awkward smile. Applejack's jaw hit the floor in shock.

  "NO AH DON'T!" The mare yelled at the top of her lungs, shocked and now at her boiling point. "Ya know what? Consarn it! Ah'm getting Twilight to deal with ya both!"

  Applejack furiously stormed out of the post-modern room and went outside, slamming the door behind her.

  "Okay, Applejack, you know what? I think you need to leave."

  Applejack barely got any time to turn around before she felt Trip's hands grab her. She started struggling against he inhumanely powerful grasp, using her hind legs to kick the man repeatedly. If the man was feeling pain, he wasn't showing any visible signs of it.

  "I'm sorry, but I don't know what the deal is with you tonight." The man angrily said. "We invited you over, but this is just NOT working out."

  "Get yer hooves off me!" Applejack yelled in anger.

  The man opened the door and went inside, revealing Grace, staring angrily at Applejack. Trip carryied a writhing Applejack inside the modern room. He then spun around and shoved Applejack out the door.

  "We'll be fine, you just need to GO." Trip angrily exclaimed before slamming the door.

  Applejack had the same reaction as the mare from earlier.

  "What in tarnation just happened?" She asked herself, rubbing her head.
