[AiE] Anon&Filly Twilight -SHORT-

>"Buuuuut Anooooon! I wanted to stay inside and reaaaaaaaad!"
>You groan inwardly, unamused at the unicorn filly whining at your feet.
>You shake your finger in mock admonishment at her.
"But Twilight! Aren't you excited to go to the fair? I mean, sure okay. Magical accidents do happen, but I promise nopony will recognize you."
>She sits on her hind legs, crosses her forehooves, and puffs up her cheeks.
>You fight the urge to grin.
"Come on. There'll be hay rides, and ice cream, and uh..."
>She pokes a hoof at you accusingly.
>"A-ha! You've never been to a fair either, have you, Anon?"
>Recollections of all the fairs you've been to pass through your mind.
>Which of course, causes you to remember Earth.
>You... miss it.
>You smirk, and shake your head.
"Nope. I would assume pony fairs and human fairs are different. I mean, for one thing, we had pony rides for little girls."
>Her eyes go wide, and she claps her hooves to her face.
>"Ewwwww! Anon likes giiiiiirls!"
>You facepalm.
>The accident that turned Twilight into a little filly left her mind mostly unaffected.
>Occasionally though, she'd revert right into her foalish behavior.
>After you and Spike received a missive from the Princess how she's apparently done this TWICE before, with the spell fading at midnight, you've calmed down.
>Instead, you decide to let the filly have her fun.
>Except she wants nothing to do with it.
>You look at Twilight through your fingers.
"Okay... okay, fine. How about this. Do it for me? We'll only stay for an hour, and if you don't like it, we'll go home. Okay?"
>She ponders this briefly.
>"Can we stop at the bookstore on the way back?!"
>You grin, and nod.
"Of course."
>Grabbing a bag of bits from the table, you and Twilight get ready to leave.
"Ooh. One second. Got something on your face."
>Not finding anything better than your tie, you spit on it, and wipe a smudge of fudge off her muzzle.
>"Ew ew ew, Anon! I'm not a filly!"
>You wink at her.
" 'Course not."
>With that you walk out the door, the grumpy purple unicorn filly falling into step behind you.

-AT THE FAIR-
>Twilight's ears fold back as she nervously looks around the fair.
>"I-it's so big..."
>You nod, and look around, trying to find something that might amuse her.
>"...and bright..."
>You think you see something like a trivia booth.
>"...and loud.."
>You look down to catch her attention.
>Instead, your jaw drops open as she's literally galloping in place, grinning hugely, ears swiveling.
"This! Is! So! Cool!"
>With nary a word, she jumps up, and bites off the bag of bits off your belt.
>Clutching it in her mouth, she gallops off into the crowd... er, herd of ponies milling about the place.
>You groan, as you attempt to follow her.
>Except you can't see her, because she's too small.
>If Celestia finds out about this...
>You shudder.
>She'll turn you into a banana pudding, and eat you whole.
>You make a mental note to speak to a pony psychiatrist.
"Excuse me, miss? Have you seen a lavender colored unicorn filly?"
"Pardon me, sir? Have you seen a purple unicorn filly?"
>You spend about an hour looking for her.
>Your nails are chewed up something fierce, and your mask&suit ensemble is all disheveled.
>Finally, you double back to the entrance.
>You see Twilight primly sitting there.
>Except...
>She has her face painted with a styilized verison of Celestia's cutie mark
>She's barely attached to the ground because she's got like 10 balloons on her.
>She also has two paper bags full of... candy?
>Her mane is all frazzled, and her chest tuft is sticking out.

>You kinda want to yell at her, but come on.
>This is fucking adorable.
>Instead you squat down next to her.
"Twilight? Don't you know it's bad manners to leave the person who's your temporary guardian? And robbing them?"
>She looks down to the ground.
>"m'sowwy, Anon."
>You pat her on the head.
"Well, at least you apologized. And you're safe. Ready to go home?"
>She yawns, and nods.
>"Yeah, I'm kinda exhausted."
>You pick up her bags, as she starts walking next to you.
>She looks around slightly confused after about 10 minutes of walking.
>"Umm, Anon? This isn't the way to my house."
>You look at her.
"But I thought you wanted to stop by the bookstore."
>She shakes her head, and yawns again.
>"Nah, I'm too sweepy."
>Curse this manipulative mare.
>"Could you... *yawn* could you carry me?"
>Her eyes are half-lidded, and she's sort of... wobbling on her hooves.
>You grin, and scoop her up into your arms.
>Almost immediately, she snuggles up against your chest, and starts snoring.
>You loop the bags over your hands, and start walking into the direction of the library, trying not to wake her up.
-AT THE LIBRARY-
>You carry Twilight up to her bedroom.
>Holding her up with one arm, you get the bed ready.
>You put her on the bed, and tuck her in.
>You have a sneaking suspicion about what Twilight blew most of her bits on.
>You reach into the bag, and pull out TWO plushies - a Celestia and a Luna.
>Okay, she surprised you - you figured she'd just go for Celly.
>You tuck the dolls in next to her, turn off the bedroom lights, and start to tiptoe out the door.
>"Anon?"

>You turn around and look at her.
>Her eyes are still closed.
>"Anon, before I turn big again... could you read me a bedtime story?"
>You blink.
>You open your mouth.
>Really?
"Sure."
>You turn the lights on, and look for a book in this room.
>Quantum thaumaturgy, On the Spells of a Bygone Era...
>You try to remember something from your childhood.
>Feels overwhelm you, as you realize you'll never see your family again.
>You ransack your mind for something suitable for a little filly.
>Suddenly, it dawns on you.
>You turn the lights off, and sit down on a stool next to the sleepy filly.
"This is a story about a brave unicorn and her friends."
>She smiles at you, clearly half asleep.
>"Thanks Da..Anon."
>You feel a lump in your throat.
>You blink whatever dust is in your eyes, and clear your throat.
"Once.."
>Your voice chokes up.
>You kiss Twilight on the forehead, lean back, and clear your throat again.
