- "Thanks. It's not that this isn't a pleasant place or anything, but..."
- >Anon takes a sip of his tea
- >She nods, an understanding look in her eyes
- >"However, I would really appreciate it if I could get the chance to tell princess Celestia about the situation and maybe others before you go out and create a misunderstanding. Would it be okay for you to stay inside for a while?"
- >Anon nods
- "Sure. I'll stay here, enjoy the tea, hang out with this cool little dragon fella"
- >He reaches down and pinches Spike's cheek with a grin
- >Spike does not look pleased, but Twilight giggles
- >"I think the two of you're going to get along just fine. I'll be back as soon as I can, okay?"
- >Anon nods, and with that she teleports away
- >That's the weirdest fucking thing that's happened all day
- >And that's saying something, given there's a fucking baby dragon in the room
- "I don't think I got your name? Or hers, for that matter."
- >Anon extends a hand for a shake
- >"Oh, yeah! That's right! I'm Spike, and that's Twilight! We live here, in the ponyville library. Although, she's originally from Canterlot, but we moved here a while ago, and a lot of weird stuff has happened, but we've made a lot of good friends!"
- >Anon smiles and sips his tea
- "That's awesome, little buddy. Hey, I noticed you have a telescope up on the second floor. Mind if I use it to look around a bit? I'm kinda curious about this place, but I'd probably freak out anypony that saw me. Can't have that, can we now."
- >"I suppose, yeah..just be careful with it, alright?"
- "Of course"
- >Anon ascends the stairs and adjusts the telescope
- >He hasn't done it much before
- >A few times as a kid
- >But he finds a workable setup
- >As he surveys the town, Anon spots the Apple farm, Cloudsdale (and what he's reasonably sure is Dash's house), the carousel boutique and Sugarcube corner
- >With a little more looking, Fluttershy's cottage also comes into view
- >Fuck, the Everfree forest is creepy as all shit, even just looking at it
- >So he decides not to
- >Refocusing on the town, he notices there's a crowd of ponies gathering around a stage in the middle of Ponyville
- >...
- >Put together 2 + 2
- >No
- >This can't be right
- >Can it?
- >What the fuck
- >Well, Twi didn't seem like she's got wing'd or princess'd yet...
- >So either this is earlier in the seasons, an alternate reality of sorts, or both
- >Well then
- >Suddenly, that characteristic sound of magical teleportation fills the air again
- >"Anon?"
- "Up here. Spike said it was alright for me to borrow the telescope, so I decided to get a grip on the lay of the land. It's a fascinating place. Also, seems like something's happening out in the square. You have any idea what it might be?"
- >She looked up at Anon and shook her head
- >"No, but it might be worth checking out. Will you be okay by yourself if I bring Spike with me and check on it?"
- >Anon nods
- "Yeah. Let's hope it's nothing serious."
- >She looks up at him uncertainly, tries to give a reassuring smile, then heads out.
- >Anon follows the whole thing through the telescope
- >Everything goes according to script
- >It's hard to not intervene, but it'd be hard to say what would happen if things went 'off the rails'
- >Besides, there were lessons to be learned for the ponies
- >Or something
- >Look, this is a pretty weird situation to be in
- >Best thing to do is not touch anything
- >Don't be the bull in the china shop and whatnot
- >Still, it broke your heart to see Trixie humiliated and driven from the town, her home and livelihood smashed
- >Anon didn't cry
- >But he goddamn well wanted to
- >Of course, Twilight and the others were recovering from the experience
- >The telescope was a godsend
- >And now, judging by their expressions, Twilight was spreading the news of Anon's arrival
- >With Spike nodding and gesturing enthusiastically
- >And though they'd just had a harrowing evening, they were all headed towards the library
- >Pinkie was as eager as ever, bouncing as she always did
- >Witnessing it was rather surreal
- >And he could swear she was aware of his presence
- >She seemed to smile at him, even.
- >Anon sighed and shrugged
- >Well then
- "Time to put on your best behavior and woo these ponies, you sexy stud."
- >Oh, who was he fooling, he wasn't up for being charming or cheery at the moment
- >Feeling too sorry for Trixie
- >Even so, explaining a few things might be for the best
- >So he finishes up that tea he'd been idly nursing for the last hour or so, then heads downstairs
- >Time to pretend to be surprised
- >Can't tell them about the whole 'show' business yet
- >That would be a clusterfuck
- >Or...would it?
- >It'll come up eventually, at least
- >So maybe sooner than later would b-
- >"HEYA NONNY!"
- >...
- >Pinkie, what the actual fuck
- >Confused and taken off-guard, Anon stood there looking dumbfounded
- >"Pinkie!" Twilight chastised
- >"I'm sorry, Anonymous, she just gets excited easily" she continued as all six of them - plus spike - drew into the room, gawking at him
- >Pinkie bouncing on the spot and giggling
