The Bluest Fear: Season 1
The Attention
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Hello?"
"Y'all awake there, sugar cube?"
Blu was on a sofa. He noticed that when he'd woken up around 10 minutes ago. Applejack was seeing if he was awake. "Yeah, AJ, I'm awake, just sleepy-" he stopped, he was in a ponies house. "Oh my god-I'm…still here?" he shouted.
"Hi there" said a small pony-he recognised her, the pony he saw before he'd passed out the night before.
"Hello, what is your name again?" he asked. He could only remember a few thing from last night, he was in a barn-talking ponies-questions...
The Curious pony looked at him, with a face so cute, Blu felt like his heart might start melting at any moment, "Don't ya remember me?" she said, she seemed to be slightly scared.
Blu answered with "Yeah, but I don't remember your name, and who was stood next to you when I you crashed into me?." he finished.
"The name's Applebloom, and the ponies ya saw me with were my friends, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle." she said. Blu hadn't progressed so good yet, so he decided to stand up, his shoes were on a matt nearby, and so was his grey jacket.
"Applejack said ya might be uncomfortable with those on durin' yer sleep." she said, she looked calmer than she did last night. Maybe she had not had anything to boost her sugar levels yet? He got up properly onto his feet, Applebloom pulled a face of amusement and confusion-obviously, she nor any pony had seen a human before, but then again, Applejack questioned him, almost like she knew he was evil or something.
At this precise moment, Applejack walked into the front room, or at least what he assumed was the front room. "Well, lookie who's awake" she said, "Would y'all like some apple pie?" she said with a cheery smile.
"Well- it's not like I couldn't use one, I'm so hungry!" he moaned. Blu hadn't eaten in a long time, "And by the way Applebloom, there's nothing to fear from me" he finished.
"Well, after breakfast, Ill take ya down to Twilight's to see if she knows anything about why yer here" Applejack finished, as she walked into the kitchen.
After a couple of minutes, Blu decided to put his shoes on. He walked into the kitchen, where he saw Applejack, getting a apple pie out of a curiously-cute looking oven. "Erm…need any help there" he said, he added the word 'partner' because he wasn't sure if all of the ponies had a southern accent.
"Why in the world are ya tryin' to mimic me?" she asked with a bored expression on her face.
"Sorry, I've, never met a real pony-that can talk that is, and certainly one that is orange!" he shouted.
Applejack handed him the plate with her mouth, and Blu took it, he didn't really like apples. But, he thought it couldn't hurt to try and eat some. Blu opened his mouth, and put some pie into it, he started to chew on it-half expecting it to taste horrible and like dirt. But he thought 'OMG, this is good, it tastes better than apples, it's like-like, I don't even know!' He could tell that Applejack was happy with his expression, he only just noticed the pure look of joy on his face, when he looked in a mirror behind her. "Applejack?" he said, after finishing the pie,
"Yes, what is it sugar cube?" she replied, for the most part, Blu wanted to kiss her, but it seemed a pit of a pervy thing to do, so,
"Well, it's just…" he started to blush, "No-one's ever done anything for me before…I know you dont trust humans but c-can I have a hug?" he asked with slight embarrassment.
Applejack face lit up at this-either she trusted him completely, or she thought he was asking her out. "Sure, but may I ask why?" she asked this, whilst giving him a hug, no-she was still a bit suspicious.
"Well, I've never tasted anything so good before, and no-one…" he thought he might get a few giggles by saying anypony-they probably already did.
"Any-pony has any done something so nice for me." he was done speaking. After the breakfast and the hug, Applejack opened her front door, Blu rebelled at the idea. But Applejack, he trusted, so he walked up to the door, and took one little step outside. "Okay, this will be easier than last night, i'm sure" he said, for the first time in a long time, Blu was outside.
"See, I told ya" Said Applejack, right behind him. After around 10 minutes of Applejack persuading Blu to go further into the outside world, he gave up, and Applejack had offered him a ride, so he didn't have to walk. He reluctantly disagreed, thinking he might hurt her, or something worse, but he gave that too, and sat on her back, "Applejack? Why are you being so nice?" he asked. Applejack smiled, but Blu couldn't see her face, "Because you seem a lot nicer, and if you were to pull a move, i would pin you to the floor instantly" she said.
"Applejack, I want to thank you, in helping me." he softly whispered into her ear, as he suddenly noticed she was walking into a town.
"You know, if you want you can close yer eyes?" she answered back softly.
"NO!" he shouted, gaining looks from nearby ponies. He started to get a bit anxious, he noticed a tree with a door, nearby. It was a big area, and had a large back garden. The tree itself was light brown. He got off of Applejack's back, and ran towards it, hastily.
He knocked on the door, and when it opened, there was a yellow Pegasus, who's face had changed at the sight of him.
Blu was getting a bit frightened at all the attention he was getting, not meaning any disrespect, he pushed past this pony, into her house.
"Sorry, I'm so sorry" said Blu, looking out of a window, then closing the blinds.
"Hey-what are you-?" the butter coloured Pegasus asked., but stopped when she fully saw him. her face went a pale colour, paler than yellow. she was as scared of him as Applebloom seemed to be.
"Agoraphobia, and I've got it." Blu finished. But by the looks of it, the pony knew exactly what he was talking about.
At this point, the pony had given out a small shriek, and hidden herself in a small cupboard.
"Why is every one of you ponies scared of humans?" he asked, there was no reply. Blu just assumed that this timid sounding pony was a shy one, which possibly led him to his next question. "Shy?" he asked, then came a knock at the door,
"It's Applejack-Fluttershy, are you okay?" she shouted from outside. 'Fluttershy' Blu thought. 'if I'm going to get a good reputation here, I'd better apologize.
"Fluttershy, is it? I'm sorry for breaking into your house. It's just that I'm afraid of the world outside, the attention was getting to me, and I just-your house-seemed peaceful, natural looking…" nothing he said would ease Fluttershy.
"Is it because I'm a human?" he asked, "If so, I can assure you, I would never hurt any…pony? I would never hurt anyone. I don't like making enemy's." he tried, and failed. A tear appeared in his eye, 'I've upset someone already-surely I'm not this horrible. But soon enough he started crying. Not with pain, mostly sympathy for this pony he'd hurt.
"I'm sorry…" he managed to cry out, "I-I guess I'll just leave" but as he did this, Applejack had knocked the door down.
"Fluttershy?!" she shouted. "Blu, what did you do?" Blu looked at her, with drying tears on his cheeks, he managed to say,
"I-I think I may have scared her to the point of trying to escape me, that or she thinks I'm gonna try and kill her." he sobbed.
"Applejack" Blu heard in a very timid, nervous sounding voice. "Applejack, who is this?" she asked slowly and in a sqeaky voice. Applejack's response was,
"Don't worry, Fluttershy-This is Blu, he's not like…" she stopped there.
"Not like who?" Blu asked sadly.
"Look, Blu- I should tell ya, before you scare everypony" she said, "The last boy to come here, he was, evil. He…was human-his name was... Jack. He hurt and beat up some ponies, including-"
"Oh My God, Fluttershy-if I'd have known, I would't have burst into your house like that. I didn't know, I swear beyond my comprehension, I'm not like that other human" he said, "This is having no effect…" Looking sad and dismal, he headed to the door, and walked out. He didn't care if had Agoraphobia, he'd just hurt someone, scared them to their core. Applejack ran up to him,
"Well, sugar cube, at least this is a start. Look Fluttershy is weak-hearted, and she might talk to you later, she is probably just really scared right now…" she stopped. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a sky blue blur came out of the sky, he didn't get out the way.
