//-------------------------------------------------------// The Bluest Fear: Season 2 -by Mr Blu Shy- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// The Princess //-------------------------------------------------------// The Princess Blu awoke, he was sweating. "Jesus Christ, that was the worst dream ever!" he shouted. Suddenly Ringer appeared. "That was somewhat of a creepy dream you had there" she said. Blu looked around, everything was still normal; there were no zombies or broken windows. He was on Applejack's couch. "Is everyone still ok?" he said, worrying. Ringer giggled, "Yes silly, you had a bad dream, everyone is alive and well. How did you come up with that dream though?" she asked him. Blu got off the couch, "How long was I asleep?" he said. "Well, after I exploded in your head… Oh yeah, you thought you woke up, but were unconscious for three hours. Blu thought about the dream, and about how horrible it was for Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity and Spike to die. What could've happened if he didn't wake up? Would Applejack die? Maybe Rainbow would have died? "I-I need to see Rainbow Dash" he said. Ringer got out of his way, "Alright, just don't collapse again, ok?" she said, Blu nodded. He left the house and no-one was outside, it was like midnight around now. "Night is better than day, in my opinion" said Blu, he liked night better because everything was quiet, not a stir. The stars were beautiful. "Luna…" said Blu, half-realizing what he just said. At that point there was a flash and Luna, the princess, had appeared. "Yes?" she said. Blu looked confused then remembered his dream. "Have you been to my world before?" he asked. Luna looked suspicious, "Yes, why?" she said. Blu looked into her eyes, she was keeping something from him, and said "I'm not the first human here, am I?". Luna looked panicky. "Of course you are!" she said. Blu stared at her, "Tell the truth, because I had a dream, and Celestia said that you'd been to earth before, which means you already knew what a human was. And if that's true, I am guessing that a human has been here before me-despite Luke" he said. Luna looked stunned, then sighed. "Yes, about five years ago, I brought a sixteen year old girl here, she was called--" said Luna, but Blu interrupted her, "Lyra…" he mumbled. Luna looked stunned again, "How did you know?" she asked. Blu started at the ground. "Well, I don't know. The party I think, Lyra, she was sat like a human!" he said. Luna looked less nervous. "Oh, that" she said. "Don't you have various duties to perform?" said Blu. Luna looked at the ground, "No, my sister deals with just about everything…" she said. Blu felt a bit sorry for her. "You know, you're the only pony… person to say that you prefer night aloud" she said sadly. Blu looked at her being sad and starting at the floor. "Do you have another appearance?" he said. Luna looked up, "Yes…" she mumbled, and then she seemed to slowly transform into a younger looking version of herself. As in, her mane and coat were a lighter blue, and she was smaller, the same size as Twilight or another pony. "You look less threatening like that" he said. Luna looked at him, "I didn't even realize I looked threatening!" she shouted. Blu started sweating, "No, I didn't mean that. It's just that you didn't exactly look as… innocent as Celestia. I bet you that if you stay like that, and stay here a bit, you could make some friends, like Twilight I'm betting is already your friend?" he asked. Luna nodded, "You think so? Me, make friends?" she asked. Blu nodded, "Yeah, but don't try too hard, just be kind and help out and stuff" he said, then he thought about the time it took for him to overcome his fear, "And give it a few days" he said. Luna decided to take Blu's advice. "Would you mind if I walk with you for a bit?" she asked. "Sure, do whatever you want, I'm not one to judge." He said. So Luna stayed with him for bit. Blu remembered he was going to see Rainbow Dash, "Luna, I need to see Rainbow Dash" he said. Luna wondered, "Why?" she asked. Blu blushed, "You don't know?" he said. She shook her head. "I kinda got her pregnant…" he mumbled. Luna stopped, "Oh" she said. "Well, I've tried to see her like three times now, and I do something else, and I always forget, but not this time!" he said. Luna laughed, "How do you plan to get to Cloudsdale without wings?" she asked. Blu smiled, "I have wings, there just not on my body" he said, sniggering. Luna didn't understand. "Actually, you are an Alicorn, I was going to ask you if I could ride you, but that's sounds weird, but, can you use a spell to make me a Pegasus or a unicorn?" he asked. Luna laughed again, "I could make YOU an Alicorn I wanted to" she said. Blu's face lit up with excitement, "Can you really?" he said. Luna nodded, and laughed again. "I can make you human if I want!" she said. Blu looked normal again, "No, not human, not ever!" he said. "But Alicorn yes!" he said. Luna told him to stop and performed the spell on him. It felt like it did before. "GAAH!" he shouted. At this point they were near the edge of town, or the market place. "Got, that hurts!" he shouted. Luna looked like someone in the audience of a comedian, "Well, it will, I had to change your skeleton" she said. "One thing, how do I use my new abilities?" he asked. Luna looked serious, "Oh, about that' she said, 'Well, first of all, try to spread your wings" she said. Blu looked at his wings. He closed his eyes and imagined himself spreading his eyes. "Yeah, that's it" she said. Blu opened his eyes, "What?" he said. Luna laughed. Blu looked at his back, his wings were fully outstretched. "Well, urm that was easier than I thought it would be" he said. Luna looked at his wings, "Blu, why are your wings orange?" she asked. Blu laughed, "Haha, I have no idea. If anyone should know, you should" he answered. "And your horn, it's the same colour as your body" she said. This was great, now he was blue, had blonde hair and orange wings! "This is the weirdest feeling" said Blu, Luna laughed yet again, "You are a human, or were. I'm not surprised you feel weird. Blu laughed strangely, "Yeah, erm I forgot what I was doing… AGAIN!" he shouted. Luna was having a good time, better than a lot of times. "Well, are you going to Cloudsdale?" asked Luna. Blu stopped concentrating on himself, "Erm, yes I am. Wanna come with?" he asked. Luna smiled, "I would love to" she said. Blu stopped again, "And how do I actually use my wings?" he asked. Luna looked a bit annoyed, "How did you outstretch them?" she asked. Blu realized he only had to imagine himself flying and he would. He imagined it and suddenly his wings started flapping. "YES!" he shouted, his body rised quickly, "Whoa!" he shouted soon after. His legs were dangling in mid-air. Luna laughed, "You can control your hooves like you would on the ground" she said. Blu moved his hooves, "This is pretty simple now, but I imagine spells will be a lot more difficult?" he asked her. Luna nodded, then she elegantly spread her wings and arose much quicker than Blu did, "Show-off" he said. They rose in the the air, Blu kept trying to do different moves, and failed at each one. Luna just laughed. "Yeah well, you are like how old?" he asked. Luna stared downwards, "Well, I was imprisoned on the moon for one thousand years" she said. Blu's face went from cool to shocked, "What? No-one should ever go through that!" he shouted. Luna got even more depressed, "Well, in my case I did sort of turn evil and cast darkness all over Equestria" she said. Blu went back to cool, "Alright, so what happened?" he asked. Luna closed her eyes, "Or, you know, we could just fly up and forget about that until your ready to speak about it?" he asked her. Luna cheered up a little bit, "You also the first person to leave that alone" she said. Blu and Luna flyed to Cloudsdale without saying a word. "So, where does Rainbow live?" he asked. Luna looked around, "I am going to guess she lives somewhere littered with posters and foods…" she mumbled. Blu glared at her and she remembered that they were officailly together, "Oh yeah, sorry" she said. Blu saw Derpy walking around with a mailbag on. Blu ran up to her, "Derpy?" he asked. Derpy looked at him, "OH, hey Blu, how are you and who is that?" she asked. Derpy of course didn't recognise Luna as she was in a different, more appealing shape. "Derpy, I am good and… wait, you havent seen me as a pony yet" he said, confused, Derpy smiled, "I can remember your voice" she said. Blu shrugged it off, "Well, anyway, this is Luna--" he started, but Derpy stopped smiling, "As in… Nightmare Moon?" she stuttered. Blu had no clue who Nightmare Moon was. "Luna, who is Nightmare Moon?" said Blu. Luna looked at Derpy, "She means this" she said, and changed back into her elder appearance. Derpy tried to run away, but Blu grabbed her tail. Derpy was still pointlessly trying to run away. Luna changed back into her nicer-looking self. "Do you wanna know something interesting?" said Blu. Luna smiled, "sure" she said. Blu looked at the still pointlessly running Derpy, "I'm not sure how I managed to grab her tail when I have a hoof…" he mumbled. True, he had nothing to grab her with!? Luna cracked up, "It's weird I know, but you get used to it" she said. 'Will I?' thought Blu. "Derpy, please stop trying to run away, she's not evil" he said. Derpy stopped at looked at Luna, "Promise?" she said. Blu nodded, "Promise" he said in reply. He let go of her tail. Derpy smiled and her ears went down, "So, you wanted to ask me something, right? So what it?" she asked. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Sleep //-------------------------------------------------------// The Sleep Blu remembered why he wantd to talk to her. "Oh yeah Derpy, where does Rainbow Dash live?" he asked her, a little bit embarrased. Derpy sniggered, then remembered Luke, or so I seemed as her face became a sad one, "Oh no, Derpy forget about that, I don't want to make any other ponies to feel bed. I've had enough of it, Everypony apart from you, then mane 6, Luna here and a couple of others treat me like Luke, they run away!" he shouted, getting himself angry, "It's just not fair" he started crying a little bit, "I mean, Since Applejack very first met me she knocked me out and questioned me, Fluttershy was scared of me so much and didn't speak to me for ages, the only pony who took a liking to me was Pinkie, but she got a bit upset. No-one in this world gave me a chance like Rainbow Dash, and I made the worst mistake of giving her a child a assume she didn't really want yet!" she finished, leaving himself in a ball on the clouds. at this point, he had reduced himself to an anxious mess. Luna and Derpy were there with their mouth's wide open, But Derpy said something which made Blu a bit happier, "I look forward to the little things, Blu. Even though 'Meanie-head' had his way with me…Erm, I have a daughter because of him, and I love her very much" she said. Blu stopped crying, "Really?" he said. Derpy smiled that she cheered him up, "Of course' she said, 'And you should be happy about having a child, I mean, you will love her won't you?" she said. Blu thought about it, "What a stupid question, I would do anything for a child, I was bullied a lot because I was the only boy in my school who wanted a child… That's usually what girls want" he said. Derpy smiled continuously, "See? If you hadnt have been bullied, you wouldn't have come to this place" she said. That's a point, he still didn't know how or why he got here. "Derpy, I have no idea why I'm here, or how I got here" he said. Derpy smiled, AGAIN! "Oh, well I assume you're here to visit Dash so she lives in cloud three hundred and eighty five" Derpy finished, she waved her hoof and left. Blu waved back. Luna was in trance, "That was a quite… Emotional scene Blu" she said. "Shall we visit Dash now?" she asked. Blu nodded and with that they looked at the nearest house, which was two hundred and sixty seven. 'Not that far' thought Blu. He and luna walked for about ten minues on the clouds of Cloudsdale, reading the different sings, looking for the right house. They arrived upon three hundred and fifty after a while. "So Luna, do pegasi call these houses, or clouds?" he asked. Luna looked at Blu, than back at the numbers on the signs which told them the house number, "The former" she said. They arrived upon three hundred and eighty five. "Well Luna, I've had an excellent time with you, but if you'll excuse me, we must part ways here for tonight, I am really tired" he said. Luna nodded, "I have had the best night in years thanks to you, you are a truly good friend" she said. Blu liked that, the first pony to call him a friend. Luna vanished in a flash. Blu had said his goodbye's before that though. He had finally come to the point of knocking on Rainbow Dash's door, which he did and from upstairs he could have sworn that he heard something, like Rainbow waking up? A cloud like window, 'Cute' thought Blu, opened up and Rainbow was staring down at him, "Well, if it isn't daddy" she said with an annoyed tone. "Hey Rainbow, can I sleep here? At least for tonight?" she said. Rainbow stared at him, "Why do you have wings and a horn?" she asked, "You weren't an Alicorn that last time we met" Somepony elsewhere shouted shut up. "Rainbow, I hope your not mad at me?" he asked. Rainbow looked like she was going to cry, "No, I'm not mad, It's just that..." she paused, then smiled, "I'm glad you came, I was hoping you wouldn't leave me" she said. Blu smiled, "No, why ever would I leave you, regardless if you love me or not it is my responsibility to look after you and the err… Filly?" he said. Rainbow nodded, "Hold on" she said. She closed the window. After a few minutes, the front room area lit up, and a shadow appeared at the door, Rainbow. She opened the door, "Mind if I kiss you?" she asked shyly. Blu laughed, "Dash? Remember when we had sex? Yeah I think it's okay to kiss me" he said, jokingly. Dash laughed, "Yeah, come in!" she said. Blu walked into her house, made of clouds. Luna was right, there were posters all over the halls, and food on the floor. "Hehe, I've been meaning to clean the place up, but I've been really busy" said Dash. Blu chuckled, "Like what?" he said. Dash blushed, "You know, things!" she said. Blu remembered how he ran away before he knew weather or not Rainbow was pregnant, "Rainbow Dash, are you actually pregnant?" he asked. Rainbow looked at him, "Oh that, you ran off. Yes, I am pregnant, with your young" she said teasingly. Blu was worried if he was the one who couldn't handle child care. But then again, he didn't care, Rainbow would have the baby in about nine months anyway, right? "Rainbow, just to clarify, how long does it take for babies to fully grow in the womb?" he asked nervously. Rainbow laughed, "Why?" she asked. Blu looked away from her, "On earth it takes nine months, or usually forty weeks" he said. Rainbow's face went troll-style. "It takes about ten weeks here" she said. Blu's face drained of blood, until he was pale. "Blu, you okay?" asked Rainbow. Blu looked at her, "I'm fine, can I please just get some sweet dreams into my tired head?" he asked. Rainbow nodded as she made her way upstairs and into her bedroom, Blu followed her. "You would have a king-size bed, wouldn't you?" he asked sarcastically. Rainbow climbed into bed, "Care to join me?" she said. Blu looked really nervous, "Y-your loving this, A-aren't you?" he stuttered. Rainbow Dash just nodded. "Quickly, what time is it?" asked Blu. Rainbow looked at a clock on her cloud-wall, it said one quarter past two in the morn. "Oh, right" said Blu, climbing into bed. "You can face the wall if you please" said Rainbow. Blu thanked the heavens. He layed the other way, looking out of the window. "Goodnight Blu" said Dash. Blu replied, "Nighty night" as he slowly, but finally got to sleep, which is all he wanted since waking up from that nightmare. In Blu's half-concious mind, he asked himself three questions, one: Who is Lyra and how did she get here?. Two: do the mane 6 truly trust me? And three: will I ever figure out whyi'm here or how I got here? But mind wondered off into pleasant dreams of cotton candy and funfairs for whatever reason. THE NEXT DAY Blu opened his eyes, and ruffled his mane. He looked at his hooves, and for the first time, looked at he fur on them. He thought about how easy it was to be a pony and live in the Equestrian society now he was a pony. No-one liked him as a human, and him wanting to be a pony gained the trust of a few ponies. "Blu?" said Rainbow. "What? Oh yeah, I'm awake" he answered. "So, want some breakfast?" she asked. Blu remembered the food he'd eaten so far, which was not much. A few party snacks, a sandwhich or two? "Rainbow, do you have any toast? Or cereal?" he asked. Rainbow thought for a bit, whilst getting out of bed, "I have some oatmeal if that's what you mean?" she asked. Blu thought about oatmeal, "Is it like porridge?" he said. Rainbow laughed, "I have porridge too, but I don't eat it, it's manky!" she said. Blu thought again, "Out of date manky, or you don't like it manky?" Blu asked. Rainbow sniggered. "I don't like it, it's got like a year of valid-ness? Left" she said, despite the word she was looking for was validity. "Rainbow, can I have porridge?" he asked. Rainbow Dash left the room, "Yes!" she shouted on her way downstairs. Blu got out of bed and slowly walkd downstairs. Rainbow had already made the porridge, and was putting it in the microwave. "Wow, that was quick" said Blu. Rainbow smiled, "Yup, I've got to be ready for when I get to work, I've got lots of things to do" she said. Blu thought about what her job could be. "What is your job?" Blu asked. Rainbow shifted slightly, "I move clouds, I am incharge of the weather" she said. "Okay, rainbow I have to leave later too, I gotta see Twilight and the others about a dream I had" he said. Rainbow nodded. "What, last night?" she asked. Blu got the porridge out of the microwave, it was perfectly heated, "Nah, well yeah, but not in your bed, I slept at nineish for three hours" he said. "Oh" replied Rainbow. "What was it about?" she asked him, Blu didn't think it was a good idea to tell her, but it WAS only a dream, right? "Well, I dreamt that Luke and Discord made everyone outside into zombies, and I woke up after Me, you, Applejack… And Ringer, the only survivors, got to the palace in Canterlot" he said. Rainbow's face looked scared, "Fluttershy? Twilight?" she asked. "Twilight became possessed and killed Spike, then died. Pinkie and Rarity were killed by zombies and Alex was killed by Luke" he said. "What about everyone else?" she said. Blu looked at her, "Big Mac and Georgia were outside when it happened" he said. Rainbow continued to look a bit frightened, "Right, well, that's a… weird dream…" she said with a different tone. "Well, I gotta go now Rainbow, seeya later. And I really mean I will see you later" he said. He finished his porridge and left the house, he flyed down to the surface of Ponyville. "Right, I'm going to see… Erm, Twilight? No, Applejack or Rarity, no. Fluttershy, maybe. Pinkie? …" he said. "No, Fluttershy first" he said. He looked around, he could actually see Fluttershy's cottage in the distance. He flew as fast as he could, he was almost there. He slowed down as he got to Fluttershy's cottage, he knocked on the door, "Fluttershy?" he asked. No reply. He knocked again, "Hey, you in Shy?" he asked. He heard someone coming towards the door. "I'll be there in a second" came the voice of Fluttershy. "Boy, have I got something to tell you!" he said. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Jack //-------------------------------------------------------// The Jack On his way to Fluttershy's house, he noticed a few ponies that waved at him, finally they were not afraid. Blu wondered why he was here again, well Celestia brought him for a lesson with Twilight and her friends, but how did he get here? When he arrived at Fluttershy's house she seemed really busy. He knocked and she told him to wait. While Blu was waiting for Fluttershy to open the door, he looked around. There were animals all around, more birds than anything else. Blu assumed anything else lived in a hole in the floor. "Fluttershy, hurry up" Blu shouted again. Fluttershy trotted over to her door, she opened it and smiled at Blu. "Yes?" she said. Blu was confused, 'Why doesn't she recognise me?' thought Blu. He remembered he was now a pony. "It's me Fluttershy, Blu?" he said. Fluttershy giggled, "Blu's a human though" she said. Blu laughed, "Oh that's right, Twilight made me a half pony creature, then I had to accept being here to become a real pony" he said. Fluttershy smiled, "Well done Blu" she said, "But you should come in, I have someone you should meet" she said. Blu was baffled, "What? Who?" he said. Blu opened the door to reveal a short boy, about 19 [the same age as Blu] and he had short black hair, his skin was a dark colour [not black or Asian]. He had glasses and his clothes were dirty. He wore a white t-shirt and black trousers. He was smiling and when he saw Blu looked delighted, "Blu, dude?" he said. Blu flinched. "Jack?" he said. "Blu, what the hell?" he said. Jack ran over and put a hand out. Blu looked at Fluttershy; she looked confused, as though Jack was going to hurt him. "Hi buddy" Blu said, while high-hoofing his friend. "Fluttershy, this is jack, I haven't known him since I was sixteen, three years ago" he said. Fluttershy became less threatened, "Wonderful" she said. Jack looked a Blu, "So, where are we? Equestria?" he asked. Blu nodded. "I'm a pony, well, an Alicorn" said Blu. Jack continued to smile, "Well, this is Ponyville, I ain't ever leaving" he said. Blu remembered the acceptance thing, "WAIT--" he said, but it was too late, another human who had been too happy to think about things, "Aargh!" shouted Jack. Blu sniggered, "Yeah, that happens" he said. Jack finished turning into a pony and looked like Lyra, but had wings not a horn. His mane was longer than Blu's, and it was a reddy orange. He had minty green wings like Lyra, but had blotches of colour all over his body, they were different colours. Jack and Blu looked to where Fluttershy had dropped a plate with some cookies on it. "Fluttershy, you like my new look?" said Jack, smirking. Fluttershy smiled, "You look… really nice" she said. Blu laughed, "Jack, wanna visit Twilight?" he said. Jack nodded, "Only if Fluttershy can come too" he said. Blu nodded, "C'mon then" he said. The three of them cleared up Fluttershy's cookie mess and left the building. "So, to the library?" asked Jack. Fluttershy spoke up from nowhere, "How do you know so much about Ponyville?" she asked. Jack smiled, "Easy, where I come from-" he started, but Blu covered his mouth, then he whispered something in his ear. "Oh" said Jack, realizing the ponies didn't know. Fluttershy looked at Blu, "Why can't you tell me?" she asked. Blu looked a bit depressed, "Fine, but I'm sorry if I upset you" he said. Blu stopped and looked at Fluttershy, "Where humans come from, there are TV's, which is like life, but on a flat screen, using a camera" he said, causing Fluttershy to laugh, "We have TV's too" she giggled. "Oh well, anyway there is a program called My Little Pony that me, Jack, Alex and Georgia watch and I think Ringer, I'll explain later. But, this program shows the adventures of Twilight and her lessons of friendship. The whole title is My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" he said. Fluttershy was confused, "So, am I not real?" she asked, looking like she was about to cry. Jack stepped in, "No you are real, and the TV show where we come from is based off your life" he said, "But humans think you're not real" he said. Fluttershy was still sad looking, "I-I don't understand" she said. Jack put a hoof on her shoulder, "Would I be able to that if you weren't real?" he asked, Fluttershy wasn't exactly crying, but had tears in her eyes. To be told you're not real is terrifying, like when Ringer told Blu he was a Fan-fiction. "I suppose not" Fluttershy said. Jack smiled, making Fluttershy smile. "And would I be able to do this?" he asked, when suddenly he kissed Fluttershy. "JACK!" Blu shouted. Jack had an eye on him, while Fluttershy just stood there, shocked. Jack pulled away from her face. Fluttershy blushed, "W-What?" she asked. Jack looked a bit embarrassed now, "That thought looked better in my head" he said. "Fluttershy, I've had a crush on you since I saw the show" he said. Fluttershy's wings extended and she floated in the air, "I have to… er… feed the carrots" she said, flying back to her cottage, she didn't hear Jack say crush. "Damn" said Jack. Blu laughed, "You remember Rainbow Dash?" he asked. Jack nodded, Blu laughed again, "Well, in around 9 weeks, we'll be parents" he said. Jack's mouth opened in a cartoon OMG style. The he laughed, "You jammy bastard" he said, sniggering. Blu remembered the days he spent at school with jack before his Agoraphobia progressed. "That's what ya mam said" he said to Jack, he started laughing madly. "Jack, we should get going to meet Twilight" he said. Jack stopped rolling on the floor, laughing. "Sure, let's go" he said. The two of them started walking, then jack noticed something. "Blu, we both have wings, right, lets haz a race" he said. Blu laughed, "Speak properly" he said. "Please?" he begged. Blu snorted, "Maybe later, look who it is" he said. Jack looked at the sky and Rainbow appeared, "Hi Blu" she said. Blu jumped into the air, "Hi honey" he said. Blu kissed her, she didn't seem very affected by it. "So, who's your new friend?" she asked. Blu's eyes squinted, "This is Jack, he just kissed Fluttershy" he said. Rainbow looked at Jack, "You… kissed… Fluttershy?" he said, then she burst out laughing. "Oh, ha-ha" he said. Rainbow floated down to the earth. "Well, if you do get with her--" she started, but Jack completed her sentence doing quite a good impression of her, "Treat her like a queen" he said. Rainbow looked annoyed, "Well, the ironic thing is that's what I was gonna say" she said. Jack laughed, "I would love her forever" he said. Blu and Rainbow looked serious, and then burst out laughing. "Jack, if you ever got with Fluttershy, I wish you well" Rainbow said. Jack nodded, "Thanks" he said. Suddenly from above a cloud, the three of them heard, "DASH! I'm not paying you to fly around all day!" "Yeah, well you don't pay me much at all, and I do fly around all day. Sort of" she said. Rainbow looked at Blu, "Gotta go, seeya later" she finished, flying above the clouds out of sight. Jack laughed, "That didn't last long" he said. Blu assumed it was the end of her break, or it just wasn't her break yet. Blu pointed towards a barn. "That's where I first arrived" he said. Jack looked at the maroon barn; it was dirtier that it was when Blu was here before. "Applejack?!" shouted Blu. He expected Applejack to be busy. "Jack, you know Georgia and Alex?" he asked. Jack was still a bit puzzled about how Blu arrived in a barn, "Yes, why?" he said. Blu looked at Twilight's Library. It was all the way down the market. "There, that's the library. I think Alex asked out Twilight" he said. Jack smiled troll style, "Let's go then, noob" he said as he sprinted off. Blu raced after him. "Jack you've met Rainbow and Fluttershy, but not Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack" said Blu, "Maybe we should visit the others first?" he asked. Jack stopped, "I wanna see Pinkie" he said. Blu noticed that the houses of the main six seemed closer than before. //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prank //-------------------------------------------------------// The Prank "Let's see Rarity, I need to talk to her" he said, so he and Jack parted ways. "I'll see you later, kk?" said Blu. Jack just gave a quick smile before he flew off to see Pinkie at sugar cube corner. Blu carried on Walking towards Rarity's boutique. "Knock!" shouted Blu as he got to the door. The whole building looked like some sort of giant shoe box. It had ribbon looking designs around the corners and a few windows. "Hello?" Blu asked. Rarity didn't seem to be in, she wasn't answering. Blu walked to the door, "Rarity, it's me Blu, are you in?" he asked. No reply. He decided that if she wasn't in, she wasn't gonna answer. Blu turned around and bumped head-first into Rarity. "Gah!" shouted Blu. Rarity fell over and spilled some items she had in a cloud of magic, made by her horn with magic. "No" she said, "It's alright" she finished. She looked a bit stressed that piles of clothes had landed on the floor. "Rarity, I'm sorry, let me help you" said Blu. Rarity looked up, "Blu?" she asked. Blu nodded. He couldn't remember if Rarity had seen him as a pony yet, but she definitely hadn't seen him as an Alicorn. "Why, you look tremendous. May I ask you when you gained wings and a horn?" she asked, like she wanted wings. Then she stared at Blu's wings with curiosity, "So bold, your wings, they're orange. They stand out" she squealed. She was clearly exited. "Rarity, that's very kind of you, but I must help you, I mean, I did knock you over", So Blu picked up the clothes with his hooves and put them on his back. "My dear, why ever aren't you using your horn?" Rarity asked. "Luna made me an Alicorn, and I don't know any spells or anything. I never went to… er… magic school?" he said. Rarity shook her head, "You simply must see Twilight about this matter. "Oh yeah, Rarity?" Blu asked. Rarity looked at him while she opened her door, "Yes?" she asked. He eyes were closed, but yet, she knew where she was trotting. "I was gonna see her, but I wanna show Applejack and Pinkie my wings and horn too" he said. Rarity made a displeased face, "Well, just remember that no-one likes a show off" she said, then trotted into her boutique. "Alright, I'm actually here because I want to know if you can make me something" he said. She simply nodded and Blu walked inside the boutique. Everything in the place looked neat and nothing out of place. There were a few stacks of clothes around, each in colour order; there were also around fiver six pony mannequins standing by a broken window with wooden planks nailed to the walls to stop there being a way in for burglars or something. Blu looked over to Rarity, who was working on a sowing machine. "I didn't yet know ponies had electricity" he said. Rarity laughed, "Darling, we've had that since we've had lightning" she answered. "Right, well… Anyway, I wanted to know if you could make me a scarf, or a coat or something like that" he said. He assumed that Equestria had the same times as Earth's. "Oh right, winter's coming up" she mumbled. He was right, "Well, I shall have to make you a jacket or something, I'll get right to it" she said. Blu didn't want her to do it if she was really busy, "No Rarity, its fine if you don't want to, but I don't really own anything at all here. I don't even remember what I owned as a human about a week ago" he said. Rarity looked at Blu with less cute puppy dog eyes, "But, I want to make you something" she said. Suddenly a small filly came crashing downstairs. "Rarity!" she said, it was Sweetie Belle. Rarity sighed, "Hold on a minute please" she said. Blu smiled, "It's alright, I got this, and I met Sweetie Belle already" he said. Rarity smiled, "Sure?" he asked. Blu nodded. He walked over to Sweetie Belle at the bottom of a set of white, clean stairs. Did Rarity have OCD? "Hey, Sweetie" he said. She looked up, then blew her mane out of her eyes, "Blu!" she screamed with excitement. She sat up properly because she was in a ridiculous pose from falling down the stairs. "Are you okay?" asked Blu. Sweetie nodded, "Yeah I'm fine. I just wanted to tell Rarity that I've finished with the… jobs and stuff" he said. Blu laughed, "Alright then" he said. Sweetie looked at the front door and darted off, "Wait, before you go", Blu started, causing Sweetie to stop and listen, "How's Applebloom?" he asked. Sweetie sniggered, "Well, I wouldn't say Spike asked her out, but they spend a lot of time together" she said. Blu smiled, "Right, you can go now" he said. She sprinted off out the boutique. Blu looked back over to Rarity, "What?" he asked. Rarity stood there, with her mouth wide open, "Only Fluttershy can handle them that well" she said. Blu pulled a shocked face and then said in a silly voice, "Then, from now on… I am Fluttershy point two!" he spoke. Rarity giggled, "Oh you" she said. Blu couldn't help but laugh too. This was the best time he'd had in a long time, apart from being with Luna and Rainbow. "Well, I'm gonna get a job too, since I need to pay you for the… whatever you make me" he said, "Well, I'll have to be off now, seeya later" he said. "Alright dear, and don't forget to say hello to the girls from me, okay?" he asked. Blu nodded and left the boutique. He heard a jingle, from a bell above the door. How come it didn't go off before? Meh, it didn't matter. "Right, just Twilight and AJ to see now" he said. He walked down the market like before. It had been about ten minutes and didn't expect to see jack until tomorrow at least. He decided he was going to see Twilight, because Applejack never answered the first time he tried to get her attention. He walked to Twilight's library slower than usual; he was looking out on the market for any sign of someone to talk to, to make sure he was up to date on everything. So far, all he'd see was Derpy, but she was just shopping, and Blu doubted she had any news. He spotted Lyra, the mint green pony from the party sat on a white bench, right outside the library. Convenient much? He rushed over and saw her with another pony, but she was sat like a normal equine. Lyra was again sat like a human, because he was a human. "Hey, Lyra was it?" he asked. She looked down at him, "Blu, right?" she said, as if she was teasing him because he pretended not to know her name, but he did. "Yeah, I wanted to speak to you about the whole--", he started, but was interrupted by Lyra. "No, don't bring that up, please!" she whispered, jumping off the bench. The other pony looked over; she was reading some sort of comic, a magazine? She was a beige colour, and had three candies as her cutie mark. He had light blue eyes; they looked like water blue. He had dark blue and cotton candy pink in her mane and tail, in a sort of candy swirl type. She looked related to Pinkie Pie in a strange way. Her name definitely had to be something related to sweets. "Is everything alright?" she said. Lyra turned around, with a drop of sweat on her face, "Yeah, Bon-Bon, everything is fine, just need a small talk with Blu here" she said. He raised a hoof and pointed to a small bush which Blu walked over to. Lyra whispered to Blu, "Don't tell anypony please, they don't know and I have loads of fun, if they knew they would call me a traitor or maybe worse" she said. Blu smiled after a brief moment of confusion. He stepped out from behind the bush and said aloud, [not loud, just not whispering] "Lyra, I was human, do you think that ponies here care? I'm a pretty nice fellow, and hey, I just met you, but you seem like quite a relaxed, fun pony" he said. Lyra smiled, "I never assumed that they'd like if I was just a human. I suppose I could tell Bon-Bon, but in a day or so" she said. Blu put his hoof on her shoulder, which made her back up a little. "Relax, I was just going to say that putting your trust in Bon-Bon by telling her the truth is better than keeping it from her forever" he said. Lyra looked around, then smiled, "Well, thank Blu, but I must be going now" she said. Blu watched her rush off. She was talking to Bon-Bon and then she got up. She walked over to Blu and looked at him, as if trying to read his mind. "Hi, Bon-Bon, how are you doing?" he asked. Bon-Bon looked up and down, trying to figure him out. She suddenly seemed to find this pointless and say, "Hi" to him. Blu smiled, "So, erm, would you say I have a lot of friends?" he asked. Bon-Bon sniggered, "Nah, you might wanna see Pinkie about that" she said. Blu's ears dropped, which he himself found cute. Bon-Bon started walking away, "If you need anyone to talk to, me and Lyra usually sit here" she said. Blu nodded and left the bush. He watched them both sit down again, and then walked off towards the library. This was impressive. He'd made friends with Lyra and Bon-Bon, Rarity, and Jack. He walked over to the library door and stopped, for he could see that there was a bucket in the open door. Jack was trying to prank him. Jack suddenly came up next to him, "Hey dude?" he asked. Blu pretended to be thick, "I seem to have no idea how to open this door" he said. Jack sighed, "Darn, you've seen through my cunning plan" he said. Suddenly, Twilight opened the door. Blu and Jack shouted in unison, "TWILIGHT!", but it was too late. Twilight had opened the door and got herself drenched in apparently muddy water. Jack's face suddenly grew very pale. It wasn't Twilight that had left the library. Jack rushed over, "I'm sorry!" he shouted. Tears began to well in the yellow mare's eyes. Her pink mane became a somewhat darker colour and had small bits of twig and grass in it. Fluttershy started crying, with Jack trying to help. She spread her wings and started flying off, followed by Jack. Blu assumed that Fluttershy had gone to see Twilight about Jack, and Fluttershy thought Jack was messing with her. The trap didn't really help. Blu walked inside the library to see Twilight shocked at the scene, "Was that Jack?" she asked. Blu regretted not being the victim, and now Fluttershy was. "Yeah, my school buddy" he said. Twilight walked back a little, "So, I suppose you're gonna wonder what happened when Alex came back to see me?" she asked. Blu remembered his dream again, "Actually Twilight, I came to see you about a nightmare I had about Alex getting killed by Luke and Discord" he said in a short sentence. Twilight gasped, "Killed?" she panicked a bit. "It was just a dream though, don't worry" he answered back to cheer her up. "Well, I should tell you anyway" she said. Twilight walked over to a stand and used her magic to pick up a quill. "The Princess wanted me to ask you if you wouldn't mind reporting to her when you learn a lesson of friendship, and I'll speak about Alex later" she said. Blu grinned, "Well, that was very… straight forward" he said "Anyway, what's your answer?" she asked. Blu nodded, "I should write a letter soon, or rather I need to visit her when she isn't busy" he said. Twilight smiled, "Good" she said, and soon after dipped her quill in a dark blue pot of ink. She started writing something on a piece of parchment. "You gonna mail it or something?" he asked. Twilight laughed, "No, silly, spike will send it" she said. Blu assumed he wasn't gonna walk all the way to Canterlot. "Ok" he said. Blu looked upstairs, "I hear that spike is busy these days" he asked, knowing that Twilight would probably tell him the same thing as Sweetie Belle. "Yeah, he hangs out with the cutie mark crusaders a lot now, I haven't the slightest idea why" she said, wondering to herself. Blu looked towards a few books on a dusty shelf. There were about twenty books here, all entitled "Daring do and the something of something" which Blu assumed to be an adventure series. "Twilight, do you mind if I borrow a couple of books?" he asked. Twilight grinned, "So you have an interest in written words?" she asked. Blu simply nodded, and said, "Well, I tend to read more about theories than fiction" he said, Blu suddenly remembered a small part of his life, he loved theories. Ideas than might be true. Twilight smile grew from cheek to cheek, "Well, I have loads of theory books if you want to read them?" she asked, hinting for him to look in one direction over her shoulder somewhere. "Sure" he simply replied. "Alex asked me out!" she squealed. Blu laughed, "Is that why you were all happy just now?" he asked. She said, "Yes, I didn't want to tell anypony just yet. There are a lot of ponies here who say I need a coltfriend-" she managed to say. Blu cut in, "And now you have one?" he asked. She nodded, her pupils seem to have decreased in size. At this point, Fluttershy burst into the library crying, she ran into Blu's hooves. "What's wrong?" he asked with sympathy. She just kept crying. Jack ran through the door too, "I said I'm sorry" he said. Fluttershy waved a hoof at him as if to say, "Meh, leave me alone", but Jack simply tried to apologize. "I was trying to prank Blu, I had no idea you would be here, and I thought you went back to your cottage" he said. Blu knew he had to say something or Jack could become an enemy of ponies like he nearly did. "Fluttershy, you really should give Jack a chance" he said, then he leant over her head and whispered in her ear, "He has a crush on you, so he really didn't mean it" he said. Fluttershy topped crying and stumbled backwards, "On… me?" she said, blushing. Blu nodded. Apparently, she hadn't heard him earlier. Fluttershy had never had anypony had a crush on her before. "So, he really didn't mean it?" she asked, still in her timid voice. Blu shook his head, "No, he was trying to get me" he said. Fluttershy looked at jack, who was also blushing, "Jack, do you really have a crush on me?" he asked, very shyly. Jack quickly became the male equivalent of Fluttershy, "Well, erm… I… Don't know what to say" he said. Jack ran out of the library. Fluttershy smiled, "Oh, that's so cute. He is shy" she giggled, then ran off after him. Twilight was stood there again, very shocked. "Yeah, that's Jack for you, one minute he's all cool and tough, but on the inside he's shy and sensitive" said Blu. Twilight smiled, "Well, I hope it works out for her, it would be nice for her" she said. Blu and Twilight discussed matters over the next half an hour or so.
