My Little Pony: Friendship Is Pure

Twilight lead me to this giant tree house, no it was literally a tree house. It was basically a tree with a door and a series of windows. Next to the house was a sign with a picture of a book on it, indicating that this was a library.

“Twilight……why is your house a tree?” I asked.

“It was like this when I arrived here in Ponyville, and I happen to like it” she said.

“Oh, well it’s your house, I can’t do anything about it” I said.

“It kinda looks like something Mr. Baggins would live in”

Twilight and I trotted over to the door and Twilight opened it with her magic. When I entered the house, the entire room was surrounded by shelves containing thousands of books. In the center was a table with a wooden model of a pony’s head, along with two opened books. There was also some stairs in which I figured would lead to the bedrooms. Another thing was when we entered the house, I smelt something good.

“Hey Twilight, what smells good?” I asked.

“Probably Spike fixing dinner” she said.

“Spike?”

“He’s that other friend I was talking about, give me a second” she said as the trotted through an open door.

With another moment to myself, I decided to look around the library/house/tree. I scanned the rows of books until I came across one that caught my interest. The title read, ‘History of Equestria’.

“This must be one of those books Twilight was talking about”

I pulled it out of its shelf a flipped to the first chapter of the book. There it read, ‘The Story of Princess Celestia and Princess Luna’.

“Princess Celestia and Princess Luna? Who are they? I guess I’ll have to wait until Twilight’s ready to explain all this to me”

I was then hit with realization and I looked at the book.

“……..How………How the hell am I holding this without fingers?”

“Tyler, come here” Twilight’s voice called out.

With that thought still in mind, I put the book back on the shelf and walked over to the door that Twilight went through. As I entered the room, I noticed the smell got stronger.

“Whatever this Spike is cooking, it smells awesome”

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw Twilight standing next to what looked like a purple lizard, just on two legs. It had purple scales and green spikes that go down from the top of his end to the end of his tail. It also had green eyes.

“Tyler, I’d like you to meet my number one assistant, Spike” Twilight said.

“Sup” he said.

“At least I’m not the only guy in the group”

“Nothing much, just trying my best not to starve to death” I said.

Spike chuckled a little while Twilight just stared at me.

“You just had an apple a minute ago” Twilight said.

“And while it was pretty good, nothing beats a good home cooked meal” I said.

“I agree, let’s eat” Spike said.

Twilight and I sat down at the table while Spike went to go set the plates on the table, but what was on my plate kinda disturbed me. In front of me was sandwich, but unlike past sandwiches I ate, this one had daisies on them.

“Flowers? Really? Then again, I am in a world filled with talking ponies, so I really shouldn't be that surprised”

“Is something the matter?” Twilight asked.

I looked up from my ‘food’ to see Twilight and Spike looking straight at me.

“Uh…yeah, everything’s fine” I said.

I picked up the sandwich and, somehow, picked it up with my hooves. I sighed and took a bite. At first I was I thought I was just gonna spit it right out, but the second the daisies touched my tongue, a delicious flavor entered my mouth. My only guess was because of my new body, but I didn't really spend that much time thinking about it, I was too busy eating what might just be my new favorite food.

“So how is it?” Spike asked.

“It’s amazing, you’re a pretty good cook dude” I said.

“Thanks” he said

After the three of us finished our meals, Twilight and I entered the lobby of the library.

“Are you ready?” Twilight asked.

“As ready as I’ll ever be” I said.

Twilight’s horn became enveloped in a purple aura and stack of books appeared on the table.

“These are a few book about Equestrian History, once you finish reading these I’ll quiz you on some things. While you’re reading, I’ll send a letter to Princess Celestia about the situation, maybe she can help you remember what happened to you” Twilight said.

“I know I’m probably gonna read about her in one of these books, but who’s Princess Celestia?” I asked.

Twilight was shocked by my question, but still answered.

“She’s the co-ruler of Equestria alongside her younger sister Princess Luna, and is responsible for raising the sun. She’s also my mentor” Twilight said.

“Wait, what do you mean responsible for raising the sun? You mean she has the ability to make the sun rise and set?” I asked.

“Correct, and her sister Princess Luna does the same, only with the moon” Twilight explained.

I stopped to think about the information just given to me.

“This is so confusing. Everything I learned in school seems to mean nothing in this world. Just exactly how far away am I from my world?”

I shook away these thought and turned to Twilight who was just looking at me. Not wanting her to worry, I smiled and walked over to the stack of books.

“Well if I’m gonna stay here, I guess I better start studying then” I said.

Twilight grew a smile of her own and she started up the stairs.

“If you need anything, call either me or Spike, okay” she said.

“Got it, thanks again for this” I said.

“You’re welcome” she said.

With that said, she continued up the stairs until she was out of my eyesight. I sighed and grabbed the book I was previously looking at. I then saw a couch near the stairs, so I sat downs and opened the book back to the first chapter and began reading.

After a good hour or two, I finally finished reading…….one book. If Twilight expected me to read all of these tonight she was out of her ever-loving mind. I looked out the window and saw that the sun was just now starting to set, causing me to groan a little and place me head in my hooves.

"You okay over there?" a voice said.

I looked up to see Spike with a look of both concern and curiosity.

"I'm fine, just a little tired" I said.

“I bet, Twilight told me what happened. I'd be pretty tired too after the day you had" Spike said.

I chuckled and picked up the next book from the pile.

"Yeah, not only that, but I have to read all these books. And let me tell you it is boring" I said.

"Well you are reading a history book after all" Spike said.

"True, true" I said.

Spike walked over to the couch and sat next to me.

"You really can't remember anything?" Spike asked.

"I can remember a few things such as my parents, friends, and my name. Everything else is a complete blur" I said.

"That sucks" Spike said.

"Tell me about it" I said.

We remained silent for a little before Spike spoke again.

"What will you do after you remember?" Spike asked.

"Huh?" I said looking turning to Spike.

"I mean, will you stay here in Ponyville, or are you gonna go back to your old home?" Spike asked.

Spike's question bounced around in my head. I just stared at him, unsure of what to say.

“Damn it Spike, why did you have to go ask a question I can't answer!?”

After another moment of silence, I spoke.

"I can't say for sure if I'm staying or leaving, but I can say this"

Spike looked at me curiously while I extended my hoof toward him with a smile on my face.

"While I am here in Ponyville, I don’t have any plans on leaving" I said.

A smile slowly formed on Spike's face and he connected his fist with my hoof.

"Thanks Tyler" he said.

"No problem" I said.

The two of us just talked for a while, Spike told me how Twilight hatched him from an egg, which confused the hell out of me, until he explained Twilight used her magic. He then told me how he and Twilight moved here to Ponyville and all the adventures they had. Eventually Spike got tired and walked up the stairs, leaving me alone once again. No sooner after he left, my eyes started to heavy, so I laid down and the couch and closed my eyes.

The Next Day...

I was awoken from my nice slumber to a constant nudging in my side, along with a voice that belonged to Twilight

"Tyler, wake up" she said.

I groggily turned to face her with an annoyed expression on my face.

"What possible reason could you have for waking me up while I was having a nice sleep?" I asked.

Twilight gestured to a window.

"Uh, it's morning" she said.

"Not good enough" I said before quickly turning away from her and shutting my eyes.

"C'mon Tyler, get up"

"No"

"Please"

"No"

"Pretty please"

"No"

"Pretty please with a-

"No"

I once again felt Twilight poking me in my side.

"You can poke me all you want, I ain't getting up until I feel like it" I said.

The poking ceased for a minute before I heard Twilight slowly walking away.

"Oh well, go ahead and sleep all you want" she said in a strange voice.

"What's she planning?”

"I guess me and Spike will have to eat all these delicious pancakes all by ourselves" she said.

My eyes shot open and quickly sat up.

"What was that?" I said.

"What? All I said was that you can sleep all you want while me and Spike eat all the pancakes" she said with a smug grin.

I jumped off the couch and dashed into the kitchen. Once inside I was met with the wonderful smell of pancakes.

"Well that got you up" Twilight said in a teasing voice.

"Oh shut up, I like pancakes, sue me" I said.

"Then here ya go" Spike said before placing a plate full of pancakes.

"Thank god they have pancakes in this world!"

After Twilight and Spike got seated, the three of us dug into our delicious breakfast.

"So Twilight, how did that letter to Princess Celestia go?" I asked.

"Oh, thanks for reminding me. I haven't actually sent it yet, I was going to wait till morning" she said.

"Oh okay, well after you send that, I'm gonna go walk around Ponyville for a while" I said.

"Why?" Spike asked.

"Would you rather me lay around and get fat?" I said.

"Good point" he said.

The three of us finished breakfast and Twilight summoned the letter using her magic.

"Ready Spike?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah" he said.

Spike then took the letter and took a breath before spitting out a stream of green fire that enveloped the letter.

"I thought you wanted to send it, not burn it!" I exclaimed.

"Oh no, you don't understand, Spike's fire is magic" Twilight said.

"Say what now?" I said.

The ashes from the letter then flew out the window and into the air.

"You mean-

"Yes, that letter is on its way to the Princess" Twilight said.

Still in shock, I sighed and lowered my head.

"It's official, magic is destroying my brain"

With a goodbye from Twilight and Spike, I exited the Library and into the lively atmosphere known as Ponyville. Unlike yesterday, everypony in town stopped what they were doing and stared at me. To be honest, it was real creepy. Eventually they stopped and went on with their daily business, but I could still feel the stares of a few ponies. Another thing that differed from yesterday was that unlike yesterday, instead of being watched, I felt like I was being followed.

I turned around every now and then, trying to catch glimpse of anypony that was following me, only to see nothing. Eventually I gave up and continued walking.

"Let's see, what's there to do around here? I see some shops, but I'm broke so that rules that out. This is one of those moments I wish I had my iPod or something"

"Hey Tyler" a familiar voice said.

I turned to the voice.....to see nopony.

"Am I hearing things now?"

"Up here" the voice said again.

I looked up and saw one of my new friends, Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Rainbow, what's up, y'know besides you" I said.

"Just flying around, saw you walking by and thought I say hey" she said.

"Well I'm glad you did because I am boooored" I said.

Dash chuckled a little and descended from the air and landed in front of me.

"Well allow me to cure you of your boredom" she said.

"And just how do you plan to do that?" I asked.

"How about we go for a fly or something" she said.

"Great, there's just one problem" I said.

"Really, what?" she said.

"Uh......I....can't fly" I said.

Dash was silent for a good minute before busting out laughing. To make things even more embarrassing, the entire town was still looking at us.

"Hahaha, wait you mean to tell me you’re a full grown Pegasus and you don't know how to fly?" she said trying to contain her laughter.

I sighed and slowly nodded, causing Dash to once again to bust out laughing. She then looked up at me with tears in her eyes, while I looked at her in annoyance.

"You done?" I said.

She nodded and placed her arm around my neck.

"Sorry for laughing at ya, but think about this, now we have something to do" she said.

"We do?" I said

"Yeah, since you can't fly, and you’re looking at the number one flyer in all of Equestria, it only makes sense that I should teach you how to fly" she said.

"You would do that?" I asked.

"Of course, we're friends now, friends help each other" she said.

"Gee, thanks" I said.

"No problem, now let's go" she said.

I nodded and Dash took off with me following behind, but even with Dash with me, I still had to feeling of being followed.

Dash lead me to this wide open field, which reminded me of and old field me and my dad would go too when I was little.

“So, what’s first teacher” I said.

“First, we’re gonna practice actually moving your wings, if we can’t get pass this, then you’re gonna have a hard time trying to fly” she said.

“Got it” I said.

“Good, now doing this is pretty easy, all you have to do is envision your wings flapping up and down and they will” she said.

“Sounds simple enough” I said.

“Then do it” she said.

I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.  I began picturing my wings, next them moving up and down. At first I thought I was just wasting time, but then I felt some strange feeling on my back.

“Tyler”

“Yes”

“Open your eyes”

“No”

“Why”

“I’m scared”

“Just open them”

“Fine”

I hesitantly opening my eyes, still picturing my wings moving, and saw that my wings were in fact moving up and down, just as I pictured.

“Wow, that was easy” I said.

“It should be, after all this is the easiest step to learning how to fly” Rainbow Dash said.

“Right, then let’s keep going” I said.

The next few hours were….well, bittersweet. I was making progress, the only thing was that my learning style, was trial and error. Not only that, but while Dash was teaching, I still had the feeling of being watched, which had gone from weird to just downright annoying.

“Okay, I think that’s enough practice for today, we’ll pick up on things tomorrow” Dash said.

Literally the second after she said that, I quickly turned my head behind me, in hopes of catching the culprit, only to come up with nothing once again.

“Tyler, you okay?” Dash asked.

“To be honest, not really” I said.

“Why?” she asked.

“Well, yesterday while Twilight was showing me around town, I felt like we were being watched. Today I feel like I’m being followed. It didn’t really bother me before, but now it’s just ticking me off” I said.

Dash raised an eyebrow and floated over to where I turned my head too.

“There’s nopony here” she said.

“Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to ignore it” I said with a shrug.

“Well I was about to head over to Sugarcube Corner, you wanna come?” she asked.

“Nah, I think I’ll stay here for a while” I said.

“You sure?” she asked.

“Yeah, I’ll be fine” I said.

Dash shrugged and flew off in the direction of town, leaving me to myself.

Or so I was supposed to think.

“Okay, I know somepony is there, so you might as well come out now” I said.

Finally my question as to who was following me was answered. Out from a nearby bush, came a purple Pegasus mare, with a pink mane and teal eyes. Her cutie mark was two hearts. She had a small pout and her head down.

“How did you know I was there?” she asked.

“I never have the same feeling for two consecutive days” I said with a grin.

I got closer to the mysterious mare and she looked up at me.

“Now what I want to know is why you were following me?” I asked.

A small blush appeared and she turned her gaze away.

“I was just…..curious” she said.

“Curious? About me?” I said.

“Yeah, Ponyville rarely gets any new ponies, stallions especially” she said.

“Why is that?” I asked,

Her blush disappeared and she turned to me.

“No idea, it just does” she said.

“Now that I think about, I didn’t see any stallions out while I was out”

I looked back at the Pegasus who was still looking at me. I gave her a smile

“Okay, I guess I can’t really blame you for that, I’ve had my share of moments like that actually” I said.

Pleased to not be in any trouble, the mare sighed and a smiled came across her face, although hers was a little different from mine. Hers actually reminded me of Amy whenever she would stare at me, which still creeped me out.

“Really? Care to share some?” she said taking a step toward me.

“Oh…um sure” I said taking a step back.

I cleared my throat and thought back to a memory from Earth.

Flashback

“Tyler, if you don’t leave me alone in the next 5 seconds, I’m gonna shove me foot straight up your ass” Chris said.

“Then let me see, then maybe I won’t have to aggravate you” I said.

“For the thousandth time, no! Why is this such a big deal for you to know anyway?” he asked.

“It’s not, it’s my curiosity that wants to know” I said.

“Haven’t you heard the term, curiosity killed the cat” he said.

“But I’m not a cat, am I?” I said.

“No, but you are a pu-

“Would you two just shut up!” Chelsea screamed.

Both me and Chris turned to Chelsea and I swear I almost pissed my pants. Forget Chris’, ‘Curiosity killed the cat’ shit, how about ‘Hell Hath No Fury Like A Woman Scorned’. In other words, Chelsea had the scariest expression written on her face.

“What are you two even arguing about anyway?” she asked.

“Tyler won’t leave me alone, even though I asked him too countless times” Chris said.

“Well sue me for wanting to know things” I said.

“Then why don’t you learn things while you’re in school” Chris said.

“But that’s too boring” I said.

“And reading my text messages aren’t!” he said.

“No way, besides it’s fun to piss you off” I said.

“Why you-

“ENOUGH!” Chelsea screamed.

Chelsea then snatched Chris’ phone from his hand and placed it in her pocket.

“You can have this back, after you apologize” she said.

“What are you, our mother?” Chris said.

“Yeah, why should we listen to you?” I said.

Chelsea then leaned in close with face that could rival Captain Yamato’s from Naruto Shippuden on the creepy as shit meter.

“Because if you don’t, I’ll just have to kick both your asses myself” she said.

As if our minds were in synch, me and Chris’s hands shot toward the others and connected.

“Christopher Anderson, I, Tyler Walker, apologize for continuously attempting to look at your private messages” I said in a nervous tone.

“Thank you Tyler Walker, I, Christopher Anderson, accept your apology” Chris said the exact same way.

Chelsea stared at the two of us before reaching in her pocket and pulling out Chris’ phone.

“Much better” she said as she handed the phone to Chris.

“Now I don’t want to hear you two arguing again or I’m gonna throw both your phones out the window” she added.

Chelsea then left the room leaving me and Chris alone.

“So can I look?” I asked.

“No!” Chris said.

“Why not?” I said.

“Because I said so, that’s why” Chris said.

“But I only wanted to-

“THAT’S IT!” Chelsea’s voice screamed.

End Flashback

After telling, and of course ponifying, my story, the mystery mare could almost contain her laughter.

“So what happened then?” she asked.

“Well, my and friend just ran as fast as our four legs could carry us” I said chuckling a little at the memory.

“Did you ever get to see his messages?” she asked.

“Sadly no” I said.

The mare giggled and turned her head to town.

“Well I better get going, it was nice finally meeting you Tyler” she said.

“You too………..uh”

“Oh sorry, I forgot to tell you my name, it’s Rosy Wind” she said blushing a little.

“No, it’s fine, it was nice to meet you Rosy Wind, maybe we can hang out again, hopefully it won’t involve me telling you embarrassing stories about myself” I said.

She giggled.

“Aww, but it was so funny” she said.

“Maybe, but too bad” I said.

“You’re no fun” she said.

“Oh really, then I guess I could just forget this entire conversation then” I said.

“No, I’m sorry!” she said in a worried tone.

“Calm down, I was only kidding” I said.

She sighed in relief.

“I’m gonna leave before I embarrass myself any further” she said.

“Okay, see ya” I said.

“Bye” she said before walking back to town.

She walked past me, but stopped when her tail was practically inches away from me face.

“Oh, and just call me Rosy” she said before continuing walking to town.

For one of the first times in my life, I was the one blushing.

“Was she……nah, couldn’t be…..then……TylerWalker.exe has stopped working”

I wiped my face and sighed.

“Well at least that solved that ‘mysterious follower’ problem”

I then looked at the town.

“Now I just gotta remember how to get home”
