What Am I Doing Here?

I was awoken by Applebloom tapping me on the nose. The fillies and I slept through the night eating candy. I yawn and stand up, looking around. It was early in the morning and not many ponies were out yet. The fillies look up at me expectantly, waiting for me to tell them something. I swear, these fillies see me as a big brother. And you know what? I couldn't feel prouder. I loved them like a brother and by god I would protect them like one.

I clap my hands together and nod my head.

"Right, let's head home and get out of these costumes. Although I must admit, I look bloody amazing."

The three laugh and head home. I walk inside Rose's house and proceed upstairs to my room. I entered my room and begun undressing into my normal clothes. While getting dressed, I started thinking about all the things that have been happening. Like, Chrysalis expecting me to love her and feed her hive. Not to say I wouldn't mind at least giving it a try. But when I think about love, my mind wanders to Rose. How much she clearly cared for me, how much she wanted to help, how good a friend she is to me...

Would I be willing to enter a relationship with a pony? I really don't know. I am the last (and might I add, oldest) human left in existence. So, I have not much option left. Besides, it's only wrong if they're non-sentient. These ponies can clearly talk and have intelligent thought. So, maybe I would be ready to enter a relationship with a pony. A relationship with Rose maybe?

Hm.

At that moment, Rose decided to enter my room while I was dressing. I turn to her and smile.

"Ah, Rose. I was just thinking about you."

She didn't respond. I looked to where her stare was going. She was looking at my chest. I'm not one for bragging, but I had well toned muscles. I trained a lot in many fields of self defence and body building. Thanks to it, I had a well toned body. Not overly muscled, not under muscled. I was in the middle on the scale.

I look back up at her and wink.

"Like what you see?"

She blushed and shook her head.

"Um, sorry. The girls came back looking for you."

I look at her for a second before nodding and putting my shirt on. I swing my hoodie and jacket on and clap my hands.

"Right. Well, me and them have a date with whatever we can do with this."

I pull out my sonic screwdriver and flip it in the air, catching it and kissing it.

"God, I love you."

I laugh and stow it back inside my pocket. I looked to Rose, who was frozen on the spot, not doing anything. I lean down and put a hand on her shoulder.

"You okay?"

She shakes her head, coming back to the planet after visiting her dream world.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It's just that you said you were thinking of me? What exactly were you thinking about?"

I thought about asking her, but thought better of it.

"Oh? I was thinking about how much you've been of great help to me lately."

I stood back up and exited the room. I waved a hand behind me as I climbed down the stairs and exited the building.

"See ya, Rose!"

As I exited the building I silently cursed myself for not telling her. I sighed and looked down to the three fillies and clapped.

"Right, what shall we do?"

I flip out my screwdriver once again and hold it in front of me. Applebloom grabbed hers out and did the same.

"Well, I really don't know. This mainly works on technology. I know! Let's see..."

I walk over to a nearby bench and take a seat, the fillies follow suit. I yank out my laptop and point the screwdriver at it. I sonicked it and it lit up. I stowed my screwdriver away and crack open the laptop. I fist pump the air as the screen starts up and instantly moves on to the log on screen.

"Yeah! 32 GB RAM, i7 Processor and a Nvidia GeForce GTX worthy graphics card! Sweet! Now, lets see if I can connect to the Internet...."

-----Rose's Perspective, A Few Minutes Ago-----

As I sat on the couch where Crystal once slept, all I could think about was him. I don't know why, but I just find something about him alluring. Like something about him just makes my heart melt. I wonder what he thinks about inter-species relationships?

I stop and laugh at myself.

Come on, Roseluck. You're not much for the eye, how could he possibly like you like that?

Well, I'll never know unless I ask him. I might as well. I mean, what have I got to lose? Chrysalis told him about her feelings and he still considers her a friend.

Okay, I'll ask him. As I get off the couch, a knock comes from my door. I groan and walk to my door and open it. In front of me was the Cutie Mark Crusaders. They all had smiles on their faces and Scootaloo was jumping on the spot. I didn't need to ask who they were here for. It was obvious.

I nod and wave a hoof to them.

"Hang on, I'll go get him."

I turn around and climb up the stairs, racking my brain to figure out what it is I like about him. As I enter the bedroom, two things come to mind. One, he is half naked. The other, is his smile. When he saw me he smiled at me. That was what I liked about him. His smile.

"Ah, Rose. I was just thinking about you."

My gaze travels down to his chest. His body was well developed and well built. I found myself staring at it. He laughed and waved a hand.

"Like what you see?"

I blush and shook my head. Celestia damnnit! Just tell him!

"Um, sorry. The girls came back looking for you."

Roseluck, you little filly! Just tell him!

"Right. Well, me and them have a date with whatever we can do with this."

He grabs his sonic screwdriver he's told me so much about, flips it in the air and kisses it.

"God, I love you."

My heart froze. Time went slower around me as he said those words. Oh, how much I longed for him to say that to me...

That's when I realized it. I might actually be in love with him! I felt his hand on my shoulder as I saw him lean down to my level.

"You okay?"

I shake my head. Too many thoughts were going through my mind at the moment.

"Huh? Oh, nothing. It's just that you said you were thinking of me? What exactly were you thinking about?"

He hesitated for a moment.

"Oh? I was thinking about how much you've been of great help to me lately."

He stood up and walked out the door of the room. I follow him and see him wave a hand to me.

"See ya, Rose!"

I waved silently and when he exited the house, I mentally bashed myself. Come on, Roseluck! Just tell him! What harm could come from it!?

-----Crystal's Perspective-----

Well, I had connected to the Internet and done some surfing. The fillies looked over my shoulder and watched me as I surf the net. They sometimes pointed some things out and I had to explain what it meant. I dared not to search up the TV show. It would break their view on reality. Hell, it did to me.

As I was looking through the Doctor Who wikia, I looked across the street and saw the yellow pegasus from the DVD cover staring at me. What's her name? Flutterbye? Futashy? No...Fluttershy! That's it. She was staring at me for a few seconds before walking towards me. She looked more curious then actually scared. When she reached me she held out a hoof to me.

"H-H-Hello. M-My name is Fluttershy."

I look at the hoof before looking back at her.

"Why have you been avoiding me?"

She seemed taken aback, because she retracted her hoof and cowered before me. Even though I was sitting at the trunk of a tree, she still looked tiny.

"I-I'm sorry! I-I didn't know i-if you were d-d-dangerous or not!"

I laugh and scratch the back of my head.

"Yeah, I can understand that. My name is Crystal."

She glanced up at me before standing up straight and shaking my hand.

"Can you please follow me? Twilight needs your help. She sent me to find you."

I nod and look to the fillies.

"Team, separate!"

The fillies, almost robotic-like, climbed off me and allowed me to get up. I stand up, clap my hands and put on a goofy grin.

"Wow, I didn't think that would work."

I laugh and motion a hand comically towards Fluttershy.

"Lead the way, m'lady."

She blushed slightly and begun walking towards the library with us in tow. I looked through the windows and saw nothing but darkness. I walked into the door and immediately couldn't see anything. I began waving my hands around and shouting.

"Twilight? Twilight?!"

Suddenly, the room lit up. Inside the library was packed with ponies of all kinds. I saw decorations, cake, streamers and balloons.

You've got to be fucking with me. A party?

My vision was suddenly filled with pink.

"Surprise!"

I jump back and land on my arse.

"Oooow."

Pinkie Pie went up to my face and giggled.

"Are you excited? Huh? Huh? Huh?"

I push her away from me and stand up.

"Not that I'm not thankful, but I'm leaving."

I turn and head towards the door. I stop halfway there. In front of the door stood Roseluck, Chrysalis, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo. They all wore smiles and were either eating a cupcake or drinking punch. Roseluck shook her head and walked up to me. She grabbed my hand and placed her cupcake in it.

"This is your party, Crystal. And you're not getting out of it."

I look down to the cupcake. She hadn't taken a bite from it. I lean down, grab her hoof and place the cupcake back in her grip.

"Fine. But no sweets, please. Sugar makes me act....weird."

Rose smiles and takes a bite from the cupcake as I stand back up.

"No problem."

I smile and lean in to her ear.

"The only reason I'm staying is because you want me here."

I lean back and turn back to Pinkie, who had vanished. I shrugged and turned back to Rose. She was blushing? Why? Ah, well. I sweep her up in one of my hugs and walk over to the stairs, sitting on the last step. She didn't bother moving out of my grip, she just accepted my embrace. When I sat down on the step, I released Rose and she sat next to me. She looks up to me with a curious look.

"Why don't you wanna party?"

I shrug and lean back on the stairs.

"I just don't like parties is all."

She sighs and walks over to me. She smiles and lies on top of my chest.

Okay?

She sighs and rests her head in the place where my heart is. I shrug and close my eyes. I just accepted her behaviour as friendly. She might be getting a bit personal now, but I didn't mind. I wondered where the fillies have gone off to, probably playing some games or something.

Oh I wish.

-----3rd Pony Perspective----

Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo had left the party when they saw Crystal lie down on the stairs. They were all happy that  Crystal had stayed at his party. They left and looked through the window and saw Roseluck lie down on top of him. The fillies always suspected the two liked each other, so they decided to stay away and not interfere. Applebloom felt a tug from her bow and turned around to come face to face with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Diamond Tiara had her sonic screwdriver in her hooves.

"Well, what's this? A piece of junk?"

Applebloom glared at Diamond Tiara and tried to swipe her screwdriver away from her.

"Give it back! Crystal gave it ta me!"

That caught the interest of the spoilt filly. She smiled wickedly and jumped back with Silver Spoon.

"Well, if you want it back, come and get it!"

Applebloom watched as Diamond Tiara run down the streets of Ponyville with her screwdriver. She turned to Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle.

"C'mon! Lets go get it!"

The two fillies nodded and began running after Diamond Tiara. They raced through alleyways and streets, chasing her down. Until finally, she stopped running at the Everfree Forest entrance. She was cornered by the three fillies.

"It's over, Tiara! Jus' hand us back mah screwdriver an' I won' get ya in trouble!"

Diamond Tiara and Sliver Spoon both laugh.

"Oh yeah? Well."

She turns to the forest and hurls the screwdriver into its depths. The three fillies gasp whilst Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laughed.

"Try and get it back now!"

Applebloom, without hesitation, ran straight into the Everfree Forest. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle gasp and reach out to try and stop her, but were too late. Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon laugh harder. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look to each other and nod.

"Crystal."

They both turn and run towards town to get the help of Crystal. They wouldn't go into the forest to find Applebloom without him.
