Tia's Anon - Crossed Eyes

>You're a new student at Canterlot High
>It's been a couple of weeks so far, but you still haven't made any friends
>You've mever been very good at socializing, and this time is no different
>All your classes haven't made you interact with anyone and you normally eat lunch alone
>One day, you go to sit down only to find that all of the tables are ffilled
>All but one
>At a lone table is a blonde haired girl sitting all by herself
>What possessed you to sit down across from her, you have no idea
>She breifly looks up at you, then goes back to eating her food
>You start to eat your food as causually as possible
>You keep stealing glances at her
>She's pretty, but you notice she has one eye that gazes in a completely different direction
>Everytime she looks up, you quickly avert your eyes
>After a little more of this, you two accidently make eye contact
>"What?!"
"What?"
>She slams her hands on the table and leans forward
>"What do you want?! Here to make fun of me like everyone else?!"
>As she speaks, her eyes drifts in a different direction
"What? No. No!"
>You throw your hands up in defense
"I'm new to Canterlot and haven't made any friends yet, so I didn't want to sit at any of ther other tables."
>She scans you as if trying to uncover any deceit before deciding you're telling the truth
>"Go on. Say it."
"Say what?"
>"My eye. I know you want to comment on it."
"Huh? I wasn't actually, but now that you mention it...it's kinda cute."
>She's visibly taken back by this statement
>A faint blush surfaces on her cheeks

>"N-no one's ever called it cute before."
>You shrug
"Well, I think it is."
>She beams at you
>"Sorry about that, some bullies will pretend to be nice just so they can be more mean. My name's Derpy!"
"Nice to meet you Derpy. I'm Anon."
>She smiles, then gestures to your luncbox
>"What did you bring?"
"Hm? Oh, just a bannana, a ham and cheese sanwhich, a blueberry muffin-"
>"MUFFIN! Ooh, I love muffins! Do you want to trade?"
>You consider this
"That depends. What will you offer in return?"
>She frantically starts digging around her lunch box
>"Uhh...I've got cheetos-"
>Autism Intensifies
"DONE."
>You both make the trade and eat your spoils
>She's making happy noming sounds at the muffin, which only intensifies her cuteness
>It's quite the contrast from how she was acting just minutes earlier
>"Hey Derpy!"
>Her smile drops as a shadow looms over here
>"Hi Flash..."

>A guy with blue hair hovers over Derpy grinning
>"Not now Flash, please...?"
>He leans against the table
>"Now's a bad time, huh? Well losing Sunset Shimmer's crown right before prom wasn't a good time either!"
>She looks at him pleadingly
>"I already said I was sorry! I didn't mean to lose it..."
>She picks up the muffin you gave her and goes to take a bite of it
>Flash Dickweed responds by slapping it out of her hands, causing it to fall to the ground
>"Hey! Don't ignore me when I'm talking to you!"
>She stares at the floor as her eyes start to water
>You get the feeling she didn't like being yelled at
>Before you knew what you were doing, you were on your feet
"Hey man, leave her alone. I'm sure it was an accident."
>Flash turns to you slowly
>"I'm sorry, what?"
>Derpy suddenly realizes what's happening and attempts to stop events before they unfold
>"C'mon Flash, it's not worth it!"
>Flash strifes around the table until he's practically nose to nose with you and grabs your shirt
>"NOBODY in this school tells me what to do. Who do you think you are?"
"Uh...well, I'm new actually."
>"Then allow me to welcome you."
>"Flash, NO!"
>A swift punch is delivered to your stomach, knocking the wind out of you
>While your bent over, he smashes your head on the table
>You fall on the ground, and he stomps on your chest multiple times
>It hurts like a bitch
>He gives you a final kick and spits on you
>"Welcome to Canterlot, asshole."
>He turns and walks off

>"ANON!"
>Derpy dashes to your side and wipes the spit off your face with a napkin
>"What were you thinking? Why did you stand up for me?"
"Because..."
>You take a moment to cough, your lungs still feeling like shit
"It was the right thing to do. Are you alright?"
>She hugs you so tight, you think you might die of suffocation
>"Me?! What about you?!"
>You pat her back lightly a few times
"I'll live. He didn't bother you to much, did he?"
>She playfully giggles and helps you to your feet
>"Oh Anon, you're so sweet."
>You blush a bit, but quickly try to change the subject
"What was that all about anyway?"
>Derpy's face goes dark, and both eyes somehow manage to get distant
>"That was Flash Sentry, Sunset Shimmer's boyfriend. The two run the school, and everyone else is too scared to stand up to them."
>She grins from ear to ear
>"Until you showed up."
>She pauses and shuffles her feet a bit
>"Do you think we could maybe...continue eating lunch together...?"
>You nod enthusiastically
"Yeah! Of course!"
>+1 friend
>Fuck yeah

>Sitting with Derpy during lunch has become the norm for you
>Every day you talk with her and exchange your muffins for your choice of her food
>After a while, you start bringing muffins for her without expecting anything in return
>And she gets so damn happy when you do
>A thought crosses your mind
"Hey Derpy, you're pretty fun to be around. Why do you sit alone every day?"
>Her eyes allign to stare at the table
>"Everyone belongs to a certain clique here...the atheletes, the fashionistas, the dramas, the eco kids, techies, the rockers..."
>Your almost scared to ask
"...What about you?"
>She shrugs helplessly
>"I don't belong anywhere. So here I am, alone."
"Aw, don't say that! I'm here with you!"
>"She gives a smile that absolutely melts your heart
>"Thanks Anon. I appreciate it."
"No prob."
>You both continue eating your lunch in silence for a bit before Derpy perks up
>"Hey Anon, what are you doing this weekend?"
>You go over your plans in your mind
"Well, I'm gonna sleep in, play some videogames...Nothing much really. Why?"
>She twirls her hair through her finger as if it were spaghetti
>Which was fitting, considering she was dropping large amounts of it
>"I-I was just wondering if, m-maybe you'd like to...hangoutthisweekend?"
>You shrug
"Sure. Why not? I don't have any big plans."
>She sighs with releif and grins
>"Alright! I can't wait!"

>There she is
>Derpy sits alone at a cafe table with a worried look on her face
>She's probably worried you stood her up or something
>Time to ease those fears
"Hey Derpy!"
>She looks your way and her face instantly lights up
>"Anon! You came!"
>You take a seat across from her
"Of course I came! We're friends, right?"
>She looks like she might melt from that statement
>"Yes...we are. Truth be told...you're kind of...my only friend."
>You laugh nervously and scratch the back of your head
"Well if it makes you feel any better, you're my only friend too."
>There's a silence between you two that's broken by your waiter
>"What can I get for you two?"
>"A chocolate chip muffin please!"
"Just coffee, thanks."
>The waiter nods and leaves, returning with the items you ordered a few minutes later
>"Shall I get seperate checks or...?"
"One check. I'll be paying for today."
>Derpy interjects quickly
>"Anon, you don't have to do that!"
>You smile and shrug
"I know, but I want to."
>She leans across the table and gives you a big hug
"Yeah, one check please."
>The waiter nods and walks off

>The two of you spend your time talking about various things such as teachers, assignments, etc.
>You stand up and get ready to leave
"Well...I guess I'll see you later then?"
>Derpy quickly jumps up and grabs your arm, wrapping hers around yours
>"Wait! It's polite to walk a lady home after a date."
"Wait...date?"
>She pushes you playfully
>"C'mon, let's walk together."
>You shrug. Why not?
>You allow her to lead you to her home
>For the entire way there, she still has her arm locked firmly in yours
>You get some strange looks from people walking past, but you don't care
>She's your friend, and her reputation is now your reputation
>"We're here!"
>Her house is two stories and looks about a decade old
>There's a small fountain with a pegasus in the front
>You walk her up to the door and you both stop
>She opens it, looks at you and grins mischeviously
>"You gonna come in?"
>You chuckle, a bit taken aback
"You tricked me!"
>"Yeah, I did. Come on inside! I've got a Gamecube!"
>Shrugging, you follow her in

>You follow Derpy through her house, but stop at her room
>You've never been in a girl's room before
>Derpy curiously glances over her shoulder
>"Anon? Are you coming?"
>Play it cool man
>She just wants to hang
>Nothing more
"Yeah! I'm fine."
>You step into her room and she pulls some cases off of a shelf
>"What do you want to play? I've got Mario Party!"
"Mario Party destroys friendships. Let's refrain from that."
>She giggles and pulls out a different case
>"Melee?"
"NOW we're talkin'."
>She puts the disc in and boots up the game
>That wonderful intro plays, finishing up with that announcer's voice
"You know, I'm surprised. You didn't really strike me as the type that played videogames."
>she shrugs
>"Well, when you don't really have any friends, you tend to have a lot of time for these types of things."
>Iknowthatfeel.png
>"MELEE!"
"Aw, you took Young Link!"
>"You can still play as him."
"Nah, I'll be Samus. Let's roll!"
>She presses start

>It's pretty even between the two of you. Derpy's surprisingly really good at vidya
>She pauses randomly
>"Anon...It isn't just that you're my only friend right now. You're the first friend I've ever had..."
>Her eyes start to water
>"B-back in elementary school, all of the kids would make fun of me for my eyes and how clumsy I was. It only got worse in junior high..."
>You set your controller down and give her your undivided attention
>"Then in high school...people started ignoring me. Th-they wouldn't even give me a second glance. But you..."
>She turns and tackles you with a hug
>You find you're pinned to her bed as she sobs over you
>"Th-thank you so m-m-much Anon..."
>She continues crying for a few minutes, and you awkwardly try to move away from her
>This only causes her to hug you tighter
>You sigh and start stroking her hair
>"P-p-promise we'll always be friends, Anon...?"
>You smile gently and nod
"I promise."
>"Forever and ever?"
"Forever and ever."
>She sniffles and nuzzles you
>You lie there for a few more minutes with Derpy laying on top of you
"Derpy?"
>Light snores begin to emit from her frame
>She's asleep
>You don't think you're going to be continue that Smash Bros. match now

>Derpy yawns and stretches over you
>Upon realizing she crashed on you, she immediatly jumps up
>"Aah! Omigosh I'm so sorry Anon, I didn't mean to-"
>You laugh and wave a wand dismisively
"Don't worry about it. It's alright."
>She rubs her eyes wearily
>"How long was I asleep?"
>You glance at the clock
"About an hour."
>"GAH! You were sitting there for whole hour?! I'm so sorry!"
>You avert your eyes from her, but can't contain your smile
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it a little."
>Derpy's face gets about as red as a tomato and she hurridly rushes over to the Gamecube to turn it off
>"I...uh..."
>You pull yourself off of her bed and stretch
"Time to call it a day I suppose."
>You turn to leave, but stop at the entrence to her room
"Oh, Derpy?"
>"Yes, Anon?"
"I meant it. I'm here for you if you need me."
>She smiles and calmly walks over to you, placing a quick kiss on your cheek and then closing her door
>You leave her house in somewhat of a daze, but as soon as no one's around, you jump for joy

>Your friendship with Derpy has skyrocketed
>She's been to your house, you've exchanged phone numbers with her, you both share your darkest secrets...
>It's safe to say she's the greatest friend you've ever had in your life
>You've made sure to stay clear of Sunset and Flash for Derpy's sake, and for the most part, they haven't bugged you
>You notice that the light seems to hit her a certain way to make her glow
>You're not sure when it happened, but she suddenly became beautiful
>And then there was that kiss she gave you a while back...
>It's safe to say you've got a crush on her
>But you don't want to ruin the perfect friendship the two of you harbour, so you don't act upon it
>The Fall Formal is coming up
>You can't ask Derpy for the reasons stated above, as badly as you want to...but who else could you go with?
>"Anon, wait up!"
>Speak of the Derpy and she shall appear
>She's flustered as all hell and can barely maintain eye contact with you
>Both eyes refuse to look at you
"Hey Derpy, what's up?"
>"I-I uh..."
>She gulps than blurts it all out at once
>"WillyougototheFallFormalwithme?"
>It takes you a couple seconds to process what she just said, and then a few more to beleive it
>What were you even worried about? This is perfect
>Derpy looks like she wants to hide. Or die. Or hide and then die
>"A-Anon...?"
>You snap yourself out of your stupor
"Y-yeah! Of course! I would love to go with you. In fact, I can't imagine going with anyone else."
>Her smile grows wider than the Great Wall of China
>She wraps her arms around your neck and jumps in place energeticaly
>"Thank you thank you thank you! I was so worried you'd say no!"
"Why on Earth would I say no?"
>"Well...I assumed because you didn't ask me..."
>You hug her tightly
"Don't ever assume. I ALWAYS want to spend time with you."

>It's the night of the Fall Formal
>You ring Derpy's doorbell and promptly hear "Coming!" from the other side
>After waiting a bit longer, she opens the door
>And completely takes your breath away
>Standing there, Derpy has her hair tied up in something that looks like a fusion of a braid and a bun. You forget the name of the style
>Her dress is dark grey and accented with bubbles
>To say she looked beautiful would be an understatement
>"So, how do I look?"
>You pause, at a loss for worrds
"A...Amazing!"
>She blushes and locks her arm around yours
>"Aww, you think so?"
>You nod
"I know so."
>She laughs at pushes you a bit
>"C'mon, don't tease me. I look fine."
>You feel a bit hurt that she doesn't see herself the way you see her, but you brush it aside
>You both climb into your car and you start the ignition
"Want to listen to the radio?"
>She nods happily
>"Sure!"
>Don't Stop Believing comes on
>You and Derpy grin at each other and sing the lyrics at the top of your lungs as you make your way to the Formal
>Not too long after the song ends, you've arrived
>You help Derpy out of the passenger seat and escort her to the building
"You ready?"
>"Yup!"
>You both step inside

>Loud music is blaring and there's a multitude of different colored lights
>Parties aren't really your thing, but not going to the Fall Formal was the ultimate sign of loserdom
>You decide to play it smart and make a bee line straight to the snacks
>Then Derpy grab your hand
>"Come on, let's go dance!"
"No waitwaitwaitwaitWAIT!"
>You're dragged to the center of the dancefloor and Derpy begins swaying from side to side
>So she doesn't know how to dance either
>You awkwardly begin shakin' that thang
>Derpy giggles
>"Wow Anon, you've got some moves!"
>You grin and spin around a few times
>The song ends with a bang, and you both pose perfectly for it
>The next song is one meant for slow dancers, and Derpy jumps into your arms
"W-w-wait, I can't actually...dance."
>She gazes up at you with those adorable crossed eyes of hers and smiles
>"It's okay Anon, I can't dance either."
>You chuckle and are content to just holding her in your arms and swaying to the music
>You can feel her warmth and the rapid beating of her heart, presumably from dancing so hard
>The feeling is surreal in all the right ways
>After the slow song, the lights come on and Principal Celestia takes her place on the stage
>"It's now time to announce the Prince and Princess of the Fall Formal!"

>The crowd goes silent as a couple pieces of paper are removed from a box
>"And the winners are...Anon and Derpy!"
>Derpy squeals with excitement and jumps up and down repeatedly
>"Anon! Anon, we won Anon!"
>You're a bit surprised yourself
"Wow! So we did!"
>You both hurridly get on the stage and accept the crowns
>A mild applause echoes through the room, but something feels off
>You hear some snickering, which doesn't quite fit with the turn of events
>Your eyes follow off the stage and...
>Flash Sentry is pulling a cord
>Oh
>OH NO
>SPLOOSH
>You and Derpy stand there on the stage, soaked in the blood from the bucket above
>The crowd is dead silent for a moment before breaking out into a fit of laughter
>Celestia and Luna are desperatly trying to get the students to calm down, but it's no use
>The damage is done
>You instantly turn to Derpy and
>Oh shit
>She's on the brink of tears. Without waiting another moment, she dashes off stage, balling
"DERPY!"
>The laughter continues
>You storm over to that blue haired punk
>It's time to kill a bitch

>You grab him and pull out on stage for everyone to see
"Do you feel proud of yourself?! Huh?! Do you?!"
>"Don't touch me you freak!"
>He goes to punch you, but you catch his fist and twist it
http://youtu.be/9LmYHOZorwc?t=1m3s [Embed]
>Somehow, you're able to throw him onto the floor
"Do you realize that you may have just ruined her life?! I know you don't care about me, but come the fuck on man!"
>You kneel down next to him and lower your voice
"Sunet Shimmer's controlling you man. Learn how to play guitar or something, I don't fucking know, but you can't do this."
>You stand back up and stare down at him in disgust
"Re-evalute your life."
>The crowd is more quiet than a morgue
>You turn your attention to them
"And you! You all LAUGHED! Her happiness was shattered tonight. Is that FUNNY to you? You all are disgusting."
>You look at Principal Celestia
"I couldn't be more ashamed of being a part of this school."
>And with that, you run off the stage and hope it isn't too late
"DERPY!"
>Everyone in the room is somber, your words having to have hit home hard
>You call her name and run all around Canterlot High outside, looking for your date
>Finally, you hear some chokes and gasps coming from a tree at the back of the school
>Derpy is curled up in the fetal position under a tree sobbing
>Her beautiful dress is now ruined and tossed to the side, leaving her in a tanktop
>You take a seat next to her and place a hand on her
"Derpy..."

>She sniffles and jerks away from you
>"Go away...I'm j-just a going to bring you more b-b-bad luck..."
"Aw, come on Derpy. You know I don't beleive in luck. I'll be happy no matter what if I'm with you."
>"But...but tonight-"
"Was horrible for them to do. I know. But I don't even care about that stuff happening to me."
>"I'm still j-just a stupid and ugly and n-nobody likes me and-"
>You cut her off
"I like you. And I think you're beautiful."
>"IF I WERE BEAUTIFUL I WOULDN'T HAVE THESE STUPID EYES!"
>She screams and her sobs turn into hysterical wailing
>"I HATE THESE EYES! I HATE EVERYONE! AND I HATE MYSELF MOST OF ALL!"
>When her cries have died down to light sobs again, you pick her up and hold her in a hug
"Do you hate me?"
>"N-no..."
"I know you don't like yourself that much, but I like you. A lot, actually. And it hurts me to hear you talk about yourself that way."
>"B-but other people-!"
"THEY'RE the stupid ones. Even though I think you're pretty on the outside..."
>You point towards her heart
"You're the prettiest where it counts. And that's the most beauty I've ever seen in anyone."
>Her cries have finally subsided to light sniffles
>She shivers a bit
"Here..."
>You remove your coat and place it over her. It's pretty much the only clothing you brought to the Formal that didn't get soaked
>She graciously accepts it and bundles up in it
"Let's get you home."
>She nods and you help her up

>The car ride home was in silence
>Neither of you spoke, and the radio remained off
>You walked Derpy up to her door
>She opens it and looks back at you expectantly, waiting for you to come in
>You feel a bit awkward, but you accept the offer and step inside
>"There's a bath upstairs. My dad's got some extra clothes he doesn't wear that you can borrow when you're done."
"Are you sure that's alright?"
>She nods
>You shrug and follow her suggestion
>It felt weird getting naked in a house that wasn't yours, especially one of a friend of yours who's a girl, but you pushed those thoughts aside
>After you were all changed, Derpy aproaches you in her jammies and grabs your hand
"Where are we going?"
>She remains silent
"Derpy, I've got to leave soon, it's getting late and-"
>She opens the door to her room and leads you inside. She shuts the door behind her
"Derpy?"
>She lies down in her bed and pats the area next to her
"Stay with me for the night? Please?"
>Your face explodes with heat
"I...I uh..."
>She pouts and gives you the puppy dog stare
"Alright, alright! I'll stay."
>She smiles and pats the area next to her again
>You awkwardly climb in and try to get comfortable
>Derpy wraps her arms around you and yawns
>You start to get tired too, but you have to say something before you fall asleep
"Hey Derpy?"
>"Yeah?"
"I love you."
>She smiles and kisses your lips
>"I love you too, Anon."
>And the two of you drift off into the world of dreams

THE END
