- >I feel like writing this with Anon as a young adolescent displaced in the world.
- ---
- >"Anon! Come on, you're gonna be late for school!"
- >You hear the door swing open as Twilight walks in and levitates your bag.
- >"Get out of bed! We are NOT doing this again!"
- >Her hooves grab the sheets and yank them off, leaving you in your pajamas.
- >You grumble and slowly sit up.
- "I don't feel good."
- >Twilight cocked a brow, rolling her eyes.
- >"It didn't work yesterday, and it won't work today, mister! Get changed! Cheerilee has only so much patience for obnoxious colts!"
- "But I'm not a colt, Mom!"
- >You curl up your knees and rest your head on them.
- >Twilight softens her attitude at your remark.
- >"Were the other foals teasing you again?"
- "...Yes."
- >She looks a bit upset.
- >"Who was it?"
- "Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon."
- >"Those fillies are nothing but trouble! I told you don't worry about them."
- >You sigh and slowly get out of bed, moving into your small closet to change into your school clothes.
- >Twilight is waiting at your door to lift your bag over your shoulder.
- "Mom, why am I different?"
- >Twilight freezes, looking at you.
- >"Well, you're just special."
- "But, I'm not a pony."
- >"Is that why they were teasing you?"
- >You nod.
- >Twilight gives a sigh, moving her head to push you toward your bed.
- >You move and sit with her.
- >"I think we should talk about this..."
- >Twilight brings a hoof around you and pulls you against her gently.
- >You curl against her for comfort.
- >"Anon, you're clever... You know-"
- "Y-You're not my real mom."
- >Twilight looks like she's been wounded by the truth of the statement.
- >"Yes, hon. I'm not your biological mother. But I'm still your mother!"
- >You hug around her and squeeze, burying your face against her neck.
- >"I wasn't sure when Princess Celestia first told me to raise you as if you were my own foal... She said since I was doing well with Spike a human should be like graduating to the next level..."
- >You look up to her as her hoof comes down to rub your hair.
- >"We found you when you were just a baby. I had read books, talked to other mares, I thought I was prepared to be a good mother, for you."
- >Twilight looks sad.
- >"It was a lot more difficult than I thought it would be. I had no idea how it could seem so simple but be so complex."
- >You lower your head and pull in against her.
- >Her foreleg tugs you tightly.
- >"But I did my best to raise you like any other pony. Like Spike, it doesn't matter if you're not a pony. You're still my little colt."
- "You're a great mom..."
- >Twilight smiles as a tear runs down her cheek.
- >"And you're a good son, Anon. Don't think for a second I don't love you any different."
- >You feel a tug in your chest as you both begin leaking tears.
- >"And don't let anypony think that I won't protect my foal if they try any funny business."
- "They called me a 'biped' and say I'll never have a cutie mark."
- >Twilight rubs your cheek.
- >"Hey, buck up. Don't be ashamed of who or what you are. Bipedal organisms are amazing! And you might not get a mark, but that doesn't mean you're not naturally really good at something."
- >You turn your head up to look at her again, sniffling a bit.
- >"Princess Celestia gave me some books about humans. Things they've done, amazing accomplishments. All without magic! That's what's the most fascinating!"
- "Like what?"
- >Twilight shifts off your bed, trotting over to a bookcase. You never did read through some of the odd looking books, but the Daring Do spines that lined the shelves were worn to shreds.
- >She brings a large encyclopedia over, flipping open to a few marked pages.
- "What's that?"
- >"That's the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander. Your people went to the moon in a big ship, all the way up in the sky!"
- >You recall the legends and old made tales she used to tell you when you were younger.
- "Did they find Nightmare Moon up there?"
- >Twilight shook her head.
- >"No, but they were the first humans to ever leave Earth and bring back something from space. We ponies haven't even done that yet!"
- >You get a welling up of self esteem as you continue talking with your mom about things humans have accomplished.
- "Earth... That's where I'm from?"
- >Twilight winces.
- >"It's... Where most humans come from. To be honest, sweetie, we don't know how you came to be in Equestria."
- >You frown.
- >"But it was one of the best things to ever happen to me."
- >You feel tears welling up again as she gives you a firm hug.
- >"Hey now, don't want you going to school all puffy eyes and sniffling."
- >You wrap your arms around her neck and squeeze.
- "I love you, Mom."
- >"I love you too, son."
- >Twilight teleports you to school after making sure you look good.
- >You wonder why she makes you walk like everypony else when she can just poof here and there.
- >You pass Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon on the way inside, keeping your eyes forward with your chin up.
- >Cheerilee moved your desk up to the front, so she can keep a watchful eye and shush any bullying.
- >It didn't exactly help, but it was definitely nice to have a bit of support away from Twilight.
- >DT and SS still manage to be little twats to you despite the move.
- >You do your best to just sit there and not feed it.
- >Later at recess, you sit at the bench reading one of the books Twilight had given you.
- >It was a little difficult muddling through some of the words, but then again what fucking ten year old tries to 'read' an encyclopedia?
- >Twi's little colt, that's who, mother fucker.
- >You're sure you've got a bunch of new words to ask Twilight about when you get home.
- >Suddenly, fillies.
- >You look up to see Apple Bloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo hop up on the bench opposite you.
- >AB "Hey, Anon, we were wonderin'."
- >SB "Since you don't have a cutie mark either, do you wanna join our club?"
- "But I'm not a pony."
- >SL "So?"
- "I won't ever have one."
- >AB "But you must have somethin' yer good at that you don't know about, yet!"
- >SL "Yeah, you haven't even tried stuff! You might have some secret powers or something, even!"
- >You get a little warm fuzzy feeling inside as the trio start bickering over what you might be good at.
- "Okay!"
- >The three fillies freeze.
- >SL "Okay what?"
- >They forgot already. Cute.
- "I'll join your group. It sounds like fun!"
- >Resume fillies cheering and making a ruckus talking at a mile a minute about all the fun things they're gonna do together.
- >Cheerilee calls you all back in for class.
- >You find a note stuffed in the corner of your desk.
- >"Biped Bookworm"
- >You see DT and SS snickering off to your side a few rows back.
- >Not this time.
- "Ms. Cheerilee!"
- >"Hmm? What is it, Anon?"
- >You wave the note to her.
- >She takes it in her hoof, eyes snapping up as DT and SS immediately freeze and sit properly at their desks, trying to look innocent.
- >Cheerilee puts the note on her desk, then moved to the chalkboard.
- >The chalk clacked on the board in the corner as an audible gasp filled the room.
- >She wrote DT and SS on the board under 'PT Conference'
- >DT "B-B-But Ms. Cheerilee, we didn't write the note!"
- >SS "Y-Yeah, somepony else did! We'd never call Anon a biped!"
- >DT threw a hoof at SS to try and shut her up.
- >"Both of you, stop! I'm very disappointed in you two. I simply have no more patience for your bullying!"
- >Cheerilee puts two stools in opposite corners and forces the two fillies to sit facing the walls.
- >"Now then. Where were we? Oh, yes..."
- >Cheerilee returns to the lesson about proper manners as you glance between the punished pair of fillies.
- >Justice, at last.
- ---
- >Later that day, you were inducted into the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
- >Sweetie Belle even made you a cape, albeit more like a cowl or a shawl.
- >AB "Now that we got openin' ceremonies over and done with, we should get started with our next ideas fer Cutie Marks!"
- >The fillies throw a hoof up with a cheer.
- >You join in, late, but eager.
- >The rest of the day is full of bumps, bruises, scrapes, and awkward positions as you try various activities.
- >You're pretty okay at most of them, but nothing stellar.
- >At least you're a little more capable than the other fillies thanks to your anatomy.
- >Evening rolls around and you return home to Twilight's surprise.
- >"Anon! What happened?"
- >You smile brightly and hug around her neck tightly.
- >Twilight takes a moment to hug back, still surprised.
- "I had a great day with other ponies! And I made some real friends!"
- >"I heard that you had some trouble too..."
- >You nod, but give a squeeze around her.
- "Yeah, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were really mean, but Cheerilee made them sit in the corner."
- >Times like this made you wish for everything to stop.
- >Three days of this living hell.
- >Twilight had a quill writing a log of your bodily occurrences, sneezing, vomiting, any major symptoms.
- >She also had a stack of books nearby, some medically relevant, others for your amusement.
- >You were out of school for the second day this week, a high fever and chills keeping you bedridden among your other symptoms. It was some kind of flu, but how you got sick was the true mystery.
- >Without other humans how could you have caught a virus?
- >Twilight's research was mixed between bringing your small trays of food throughout the day, some warm soup and bread with cool ginger ale.
- >He bedside manner was less than maternal, however, fascinated by your illness.
- >"Do you think you can do a run on the treadmill so I can get a reading on your heart rate? I need to stress your body for data!"
- "M-Mom please... It hurts to exist."
- >Twilight gives a frown, setting down the notepad.
- >She was still having some trouble shifting into mother mode when new things happened with your body.
- >Getting so sick you could hardly move was new.
- >Twilight's horn began to glow and you felt yourself lifting, her magic bringing you up enough for her to tuck you in.
- >"Try to get some rest, Anon."
- "Thanks, Mom."
- >You see her horn flicker for a moment as your eyes fall heavy, then nod off to sleep.
