A Ballad Of Blue [Prologue]

>Day still asleep in Equestria
[spoiler] Now with 20% better grammar. [/spoiler]
>For once you're having a sweet dream
>Actually since you involuntarily became apart of this world you can't remember having a single bad dream
>Todays dream consists of flying across Equestria
>You've been here for over a year
>One day you woke up and your entire house was in Equestria
>You've come far
>Not only dimension-wise
>But as a human being
>You are now a hard working individual
>All thanks to the friends you've made here
>As you fly on towards the sunset your vision fades to white
>And now to black as you wake up staring into your shut eyelids
-yawn-
>It's a really nice day for a party
>Pinkie sure knew how to throw 'em
>Tonight was going to be the one of the biggest parties of the year
>There will be cider, sweet and delicious cider, something you're very much looking forward to
>You crack you neck and get out of bed to begin the shit, shave, brush, and bathe ritual

>You slip on some of the clothes you had when you got here
>They may have faded considerably but hell, they're still as comfy as when you first bought them
-knock- -knock- -knock-
>You can already tell who's at the door
>It seems she always knocks on your door after you get dressed
>Truth be told even though Fluttershy was a mare obsessed, she's nothing compared to problems you've faced back on Earth
>The most you've had to put up with so far is trespassing and slight sexual harassment, and quite possibly a few lost socks, but that just might be your own clumsiness
>As you swing open the door there stands the timid terror, wearing clown makeup and a rubber nose
>"Hello Anon!"
"Hiya Flutters"
>Every time she sees you her face lights up crimson red, or is it the makeup this time? hard to tell
>"Well what do you think Anon?"
>Everyday you have this same conversation in a different context
>First you'll let her down easy
"I'm sorry but clowns don't really do it for me Fluttershy"
>Then you'll tell her to come back tomorrow
"But hey you can always try again tomorrow Flutters"
>"A-alright"
>She saunters off, presumably to some sort of drawing board
>Deep down you know this wont work forever, but as they say
"If it 'aint broke don't fix it"

>You merrily stride into town, waving to Applejack and Applebloom as you make your way to Raritys' boutique
>You walk inside to find Rarity taking measurements of the Cyan Quickness herself
"Hey Dashie"
>"Anon!"
>She almost literally does a back flip just to tackle you
>"Sure Dahling go ahead and glomp Anon, it's not like I have other things to do before tonight"
>Dashie slides back into position mouthing an apology, and Rarity resumes taking measurements
>Dashie's been your best friend since you got here
>She helped you from your cigarette withdraws after you've smoked what turned out to be the first, last, and only pack of cigarettes in Equestria
>One time she even knocked a hole in the clouds so we could tan in a rainstorm
>Good times
>"Alright dahling all done, come back tonight before the party"
>"Thanks for doing this last minute Rarity"
>Her magenta eyes switch to you as she slugs you in the shoulder
>"See you tonight bro"
>She slips out the front door and with the flap of wings she's off
>"So anon you here to pick up the tie you ordered?"
"Sure am, miss Rarity"
>"Miss Rarity? why aren't you just the gentlecol- er gentlehuman today?"
>"Here we go Anon"
>A red tie to go with the classic white dress shirt
"I'll see you all tonight miss Rarity"

>The hour of the party is quickly approaching
>You end up helping Applejack move kegs of cider from the farm to the town square
>Today is your day off, but you'll be damned if this party runs out of cider before you can drink yourself stupid
>The kegs are a bit heavy but between you and Applejack it's not much of a problem
>"So how are you and your mare friend?"
>You look over to see Applejack staring at you with the biggest grin you can imagine
>Ha, for an element of honesty she loves sarcasm a bit too much
"Pfft yeah we're going great"
>Fluttershy just doesn't know when to quit
>You set the last of the kegs down and sit on one
>A lot of pone are already here
>Pinkie and Twilight are taking care of last minute decorations
>"So what's the matter with you her being an item?"
>You could beat around the bush, but that wouldn't work to long with Applejack
>Better just be honest
"Flutters is nice but I don't think I want anything like that with her"
>"Flutters? uh sugarcube I'm talking abo-
>"ANON!"
>You look over Applejacks shoulder to see Pinkie pie running toward you full gallop
>"Oh my gosh, you're really here, I was all like I wonder if Anon likes parties, so then I thought well duuuuh who doesn't like parties so I invited you to this party and now your here, you are here for this party right? I hope you're not here for some other party cause if you were that'd be so sad cause I really wanted you to come to one of my parties"
>Sweet pone Jesus that mare can talk
"Yes Pinkie of course I'm here for the party, wouldn't miss it for all the cupcakes in Equestria"
>Pinkie pie audibly gasps and puts on a shocked expression
>Twilight giggles and steps forward
"Hey Twilight how's the magic coming along?"
>"It's coming along well, I just learned an invisibility spell"
>Her horn lights up and her entire body disappears, that is all except the glow of her horn
>You, Pinkie, and Applejack all hold back your laughter as Twilight makes herself visible again
"Cool spell"
>You take a peek at your watch
"Say Pinky? Isn't it time?"
>"Oh my gosh you're right"

>Pinkie pies' voice booms over the sound system
>"Mares and gentlecolts, LETS GET THIS PARTY STARTED!"
>Vinyl pops up from under the stage and starts dropping wubs
>you see Twilight spasming er.. dancing off to the side
>Applejack is off drinking cider with a couple apple family relatives
>Rarity is mingling with Hoity
>He came in from out of town for this party just to see Rarity
>You totally ship those two
>This is pretty nice, you've never even been to a party on Earth
>Time to drink
>As you make your way to the bar you hear a familiar voice
>"Hey Anon"
>If it wasn't for the voice you wouldn't recognize her
>As you turn you see Rainbow Dash but she's all,
>Girly...
>She's wearing a frilly black dress with a pretty black bow in her hair
>And is she wearing blush?
"Hey Rainbow you look good"
>"Not so bad yourself"
>She really went all out for this party
>"So um I, er, you wanna get a drink?"
>Even if she looks different today she's still the same bro you've always known
"Yeah, that sounds nice"
>3 drinks in and Rainbow is telling the Apple family the story of how we both sent a manticore running for the hills
>You love this story
>"-so as Anon lures it into the field, I'm sitting on a storm cloud and when the manticore went under me I zapped him with lightning"
>"You should of seen his face"
>Rainbow falls off the bar stool and rolls on the ground laughing
>"H-hi Anon"
>Shit that stutter, that timid voice
>You have no doubt that Fluttershy is standing behind you ready to ruin the buzz your working on
"Hey Fluttershy what's up?
>"W-Well I was just wondering if dancing was your fetish"
>You look over to see Fluttershy Disco dancing pretty well
>Too bad a pop song is playing right now
"No Fluttershy dancing isn't my fetish"
>She saunters off, a defeated look in her eyes

>You are now Fluttershy
>It's hopeless
>Anon may never like you
>ever since you met him you knew he was the one for you
>You just wish you could make him feel the same way
>If you could only find the right way to show him how you feel
>You feel your eyes well up as you begin to cry
>"Now now Fluttershy what's wrong with you?"
>"Please don't cry tell me what I can do"
>You look over to see Zecora
>Yes, she can definitely help you
-sniffle-
"W-well I'm having trouble showing a certain s-stallion how I feel"
>Zecora looks at you quizzically before responding
>"Fluttershy you need to have more willpower"
>"Which you will obtain if you eat a will flower"
"But where can I find one?"
>"Don't despair I have one right here"
>"Just for you, Fluttershy, my dear"
>Zecora hands you a Spotted purple flower
>This is it
>For Anon
>You swallow the flower whole
>And you can't help but bask in your new found willpower
