- >You yawn a bit as you feed the birds their breakfast.
- >Ponyville sure has been peacefully quiet lately.
- >No giant monsters or evil beings to deal with makes everything lovely.
- >You smile to the birds that chomp at their meal.
- "Be careful not to eat too quickly."
- >They nod to you as they peck away.
- >You turn around to see which of your animal companions needs food next.
- >While there might not be any monsters or evil around right now, there's something bothering you.
- >Something putting an intense fire in your heart and groin.
- >It's crazy to think that it's almost been three years since he crash landed here.
- >Coming out of the sky like a chunk of something from space was a sure-fire way to get everyone's attention.
- >Especially landing in the middle of the town...
- >Once everyone realized he was injured, they rushed for his aid.
- >He stayed in your cottage for a while since you had extra space.
- >He's such a sweetheart, almost challenging your own kindness if not for some of his blunt mannerisms.
- >But that's what just makes him who he is.
- >And you wouldn't want him any other way.
- >The only bad thing is that you aren't the only one who sees him like that...
- >You blink involuntarily and take yourself out of your day dream to see the one you were talking about almost ten feet in front of you.
- >Anonymous.
- >He's standing there talking with Twilight, actually looking really happy.
- >You feel a crack in your chest as you think about things.
- >What if he likes her more?
- >He looks so happy to even just be talking to her.
- >A bit happier than he normally looks while talking to others.
- >He... He couldn't like her more, could he?
- >As you think about this while staring at him, he reaches down and pets Twilight's head a little.
- >Oh no.
- >He does.
- >You feel your heart starting to tear inside of your chest.
- >He likes her more than you.
- >Now you'll never be with him...
- >...wait.
- >Why does he like her more?
- >Is it the way she presents herself?
- >Is it her "dorkish" charm?
- >A spark of determination ignites in your chest.
- >Well that doesn't seem too hard to pull off.
- >If that's what Anon wants in a mare, you're sure you can do it better for him!
- >Oh, but this isn't to hurt Twilight...
- >You proudly walk back over to the house to practice being a book worm like Twilight, ignoring the angry white bunny with the gurgling stomach at your side.
- -----
- >You find yourself blushing as Anon pats you on the head lightly.
- >Hopefully Fluttershy didn't see anything, the two of you are pretty close to her place.
- >The last thing you want to do is cause a gap in your friendship.
- >You look up at the smiling human holding his wallet.
- >"Seriously, thank you for finding this for me. I was so freaked out when I found out I misplaced it."
- >An awkward smile-blush combo comes across your face.
- "Y-you don't have to thank me! Spike was the one who found it in the library..."
- >He smiles and places his hand on you while walking past you, making his hand drag along your back.
- >Once he's past you he turns back and says, "But you're the one who returned it to me instead of having Spike do it."
- >Your heart feels warm at the sound of his words.
- >You turn around and start to walk with him.
- "Well of course, if it's for such a good friend like you I would do anything..."
- >He looks at you and raises an eyebrow a little in confusion.
- >OH NO.
- >DID YOU COME ON TOO STRONG?
- >MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE SAID ANYTHING.
- >ANYTHING IS A LOT OF THINGS.
- >IN FACT, THAT'S ALL THE THINGS.
- >EVEN THE LEWD THINGS.
- >"Aww that's sweet. You don't have to do those things though, ya know?"
- >Phew.
- "O-oh..."
- >It is silent as you two walk for a while into town.
- >You take this opportunity to try to get as close as possible to him without him getting uncomfortable.
- >The warmth from his body is making you anxious to jump on him and confess to him...
- >And his scent.
- >Unf.
- >He looks down at you and you jump away in terror that he'll know what you're up to.
- >He is shocked by your sudden movement.
- >"Are you okay? What's wrong?"
- >CRAP.
- >THINK.
- >THINK QUICKLY.
- >HE'S GOING TO THINK YOU'RE AFRAID OF HIM.
- >NO ONE WANTS TO HANG OUT WITH SOMEONE AFRAID OF THEM.
- >UNLESS THEY'RE SADISTIC.
- >BUT ANON DOESN'T SEEM SADISTIC.
- >Not that it would be a bad thing if he was though...
- >"Oh, good call, Twilight!"
- "Huh?"
- >You look to where he's looking and see a small pile of feces probably left behind by some animal right in front of him.
- >"That's a bit of a wild reaction, but if ya didn't do that I would have had this on my shoe. Thanks."
- >Taking a deep breath and composing yourself, you nod to Anon.
- "You're welcome."
- >He nods while wearing a smile in response, then continues walking forward without stepping on it.
- >Good gravy.
- >That was really close.
- >You should be more careful with your actions now.
- >He could suspect something more easily.
- >"Hey Nonny!"
- >You finally focus on something other than Anon and realize you followed him into the middle of town.
- >Pinkie is waving to him from SugarCube Corner.
- >"Hi Pinkie!"
- >He jogs over and she leaps from the entrance into his arms.
- >This is sort of a normal greeting for them, hugs like this, but it still hurts you to watch.
- >He spins around while hugging her and the both of them laugh at the act.
- >If only you could make him smile and laugh like that.
- >How does Pinkie do it?
- >Well, that's in her element.
- >But the basic idea doesn't seem too difficult to perform.
- >And you probably have a bunch of books on comedy, so that might work too.
- >He stops spinning with her and places her down.
- >"So how are ya, Pinkie?"
- >"I'm great now that I've had my torNondoe hug!"
- >He smiles at her joke and messes up her mane with his hand.
- >"Your puns are awful as always."
- >Her mane poofs back into it's normal bumpy shape and they both laugh.
- >Yes... This doesn't seem that hard at all.
- >You should be able to learn this by tonight and be able to act on it tomorrow.
- >But that's only if you start now.
- >Clearing your throat to get Anon's attention, you speak.
- "Hi Pinkie. Sorry Anon, but I have to get going now. I forgot I had to do something back home."
- >Anon smiles.
- >"Don't worry about it. Go take care of it, and be safe!"
- >He was so eager to discard you...
- >You're really going to have to work at it!
- "Bye..."
- >You gallop back toward the tree.
- -----
- >Twilight sure is being a weirdo right now.
- >Why'd she run off like that?
- >Can't she teleport?
- >Oh whatever, Nonny's here!
- "Hey Nonny, could I ask a favor?"
- >"What is it?"
- "Try this and tell me how it tastes!"
- >You shove a cupcake chunk into his mouth with your hoof.
- >He nearly chokes on it in surprise, but when he starts to eat it, his eyes light up and a smile appears on his face again.
- >"Wow, this is great! What is this?"
- "I KNOOOW RIGHT? I call it, Bubblegum Blueberry Button!"
- >"...why?"
- >You jump up and grab him by the shoulders.
- "C'mere!"
- >He doesn't try to resist as you speed him into SugarCube Corner's kitchen.
- >"Oh wow."
- >He looks at the display you've created for the cupcakes in awe.
- >You point to the blue button shaped cupcake with pink swirls all around it.
- "See?"
- >He nods and looks to the pink, purple, and green swirled one next to it.
- >"What is that?"
- "It's a mixed flavor cupcake. Try it and tell me if you can tell what flavors!"
- >Shrugging, he picks it up and pops it into his mouth.
- >While chewing, he speaks.
- >"Well one of theesh ith defflitey grape..."
- "Yup! Can you guess what the other two are?"
- >You wait in anticipation as he chomps away, only to be let down when he shakes his head and shrugs.
- >He swallows and says, "I have no idea. Sorry."
- "Oh come on Nonny. It's grape, powdered protein, and honey!"
- >He gives you a deadpan stare.
- >"What."
- >You giggle at him.
- "You always look so cute when you're like that! It's not really that. It really was just grape."
- >He stands up, chuckling to himself lightly.
- >"You got me again with the same trick. I'll get you back one day though."
- >Slightly tilt your head to him.
- "Why are you getting up? Are you leaving already?"
- >He nods.
- >"Yeah, sorry. I have to pick something up."
- "Oh okay. No, I'm sorry. I bothered you without asking if you had plans."
- >He shakes his head and puts a hand on your head.
- >"No need for that, Pinks."
- >Your face gets hot as he runs his hand through your mane.
- >Why does he always do this to you?
- >You want to make him happy and laugh, but he makes you super duper gooey and mushy like an undercooked cupcake.
- >It's a good feeling but it's also hard to ignore...
- >It gets hard to be happy and make others happy when he makes you think like that and feel that way.
- >He walks past you and leaves the kitchen.
- >You walk out of the kitchen with him.
- "B-bye."
- >He raises a hand as he walks out.
- >"See ya tomorrow!"
- >You watch him leave SugarCube Corner from the counter.
- "Yeah..."
- >Wait.
- >Where is he going?
- >It's not like him to leave you so suddenly.
- >Is something wrong?
- >...this calls for a stealth mission.
- >You quickly put on your super stretchy black suit Twilight got you that one time and sneak out SugarCube Corner.
- >When you step out of SugarCube Corner, you see Nonny walking down the street.
- >He's right in the middle of the street, making it kinda hard to tail him with complete stealth.
- >So you do the next best thing.
- >Jump into a bush.
- >From that bush, you jump to another bush in another yard adjacent to that one.
- >By continuing your pattern of stealth, you manage to get closer to him without him noticing a thing.
- >The same can't be said about those poor bushes and trashcans you forced yourself inside.
- >Or the ponies you hid behind.
- >Or the ground you dug through...
- >It was all worth it though!
- >You're at Rarity's place now, so you duck behind a tree nearby.
- >Nonny walks right up to the door and knocks a few times.
- >The door opens and Rarity speaks to Nonny, the both of them giggling a bit before she invites him inside.
- >She closes the door behind her, ending your chances of getting in unnoticed.
- >Looks like this mission was a success...
- >...for stealth.
- >For finding out what's going on though, you failed.
- >But what was with the way they talked at the door?
- >Something seemed weird about that.
- >It was almost like they're a couple or something.
- >But...
- >Nonny can't be... He's your Nonny.
- >Why does this hurt to think about?
- >They laughed about something.
- >Nonny laughs like that when he's with you...
- >You find yourself leaning up against the tree while crossing your hooves.
- >Hmph.
- "What makes Rarity so good anyways?"
- >You look over at her super fabbed out pad and dresses in the window.
- >Does he just like how she behaves?
- >Acting all uppity isn't a hard thing to do, so why not find out?
- >Wait.
- >She's more than uppity, she's also an eloquent speaker.
- "Psheew this may be harder than I thought."
- >You leer over at Carousel Boutique and wave a hoof.
- "I'LL GET YOU BACK, NONNY!"
- >After shouting out the anger, you happily bounce away while humming a tune.
- -----
- "It should be around here somewhere..."
- >"I'm sorry."
- >You shake your head as you look for wipes of some kind.
- "No need to apologize, Anonymous. I enjoy doing things like this."
- >Finding them, you let out a sigh of relief.
- "Ahh, here we are."
- >He sits down on your couch as you levitate the box of wipes over to him, taking one out.
- >Using your magic, you skillfully remove all the icing from his face.
- >A smile comes across yours.
- "You know, I wasn't expecting to see that the first time I open the door today."
- >He smirks a bit and looks down.
- >"Yeah. Pinkie surprised me with some cupcakes, so I had no choice but to stop to try a few."
- >You finish up wiping his mouth off and put the box of wipes on the couch in front of you.
- >Then, you lecture him a little.
- "Anonymous, you know you don't have to do what she or anypony else says, right?"
- >He shakes his head.
- >"That's not true. I want to help them and be good friends with them, that's why I do it."
- >He's such a kind gentleman...
- "Well... I suppose if that's your reasoning it's okay, but make sure none of them take advantage of you, okay dear?"
- >"Of course."
- >Your eyes lock as he says this.
- >It's then when you realize how close you are to him.
- >The two of you are on the couch, and you're facing him with only the box of wipes blocking you from touching each other.
- >You become flushes in the face as he blinks at you.
- >He has such beautiful eyelashes for a male.
- >And... a strong jawline.
- >"So, do you have my jacket ready?"
- >His words take you out of your trance.
- >You stumble over your words as you see that you've just been staring at his face.
- "Y-your jacket? Um... Oh, yes, your jacket! Sorry, dear. Yes, I'll go get it."
- >Turning quickly to hide your rapidly growing blush, you rush over to the other side of the room.
- >Goodness gracious he makes you so flustered sometimes...
- >You walk over to where you have his patched up jacket hanging by coat hanger.
- >Taking it with your magic, which you just realize now you could have done from across the room, you head back over.
- >Hopefully he doesn't consider that possibility.
- >That could become a quite awkward situation.
- >He turns toward you as you come close and you avoid his gaze by looking at the jacket you're holding.
- "Here you go, free of charge."
- >He accepts the jacket and puts it on, moving his arms to confirm if it's been fully restored.
- >"You're the best, Rare."
- >You playfully paw at the air toward him.
- "Oh dearie, you shouldn't say that..."
- >He looks you straight in the eyes.
- >"But I mean it. You're always so generous and kind to me and others. I mean, I kinda get that it's your element or something, but you make your entire life about it."
- >Is he actually talking about you like this?
- >...this is the perfect opportunity!
- "A-Anonymous!"
- >Startled by your volume, he asks in a worried tone, "What's wrong?"
- >You realize your mistake and cough, trying to compose yourself.
- "Sorry. I apologize for the outburst. I was just a little excited to say something is all..."
- >He relaxes his stance a bit and scratches his head.
- >"Oh. Okay. Well, what was it that you wanted to say?"
- >You take a deep breath and point to a window.
- >He turns and looks out it to see a small table with two chairs out there.
- >"Uhh so...?"
- "Could you go wait out there for me? I want to share a cup of tea with you and talk."
- >"Okay."
- >He walks out without even questioning it.
- >Even though you just told him he shouldn't listen to other so easily...
- >Oh, whatever!
- >This isn't the time for that!
- >You need to think about what you're going to say to him!
- >It's not like you can just walk right out there and tell him to take you.
- >Telling him you love him seems a bit too cliche though, so he might think it isn't genuine.
- >Why is it always so hard to deal with things like this?
- >Okay, so doing it directly isn't a good idea...
- >Perhaps you could do it in a cute way?
- >...but you have no idea how to do that.
- >You take a look at him through the window while making the tea with your magic.
- >He seems to be talking to somepony and laughing.
- "What?"
- >You stop making the tea and follow the direction he's facing to see Rainbow Dash lazing off in a tree above him.
- >What is she doing there?
- >It wasn't supposed to be like this.
- >It was just supposed to be the two of you.
- >Sitting at a small picnic style table underneath the gentle shade of trees...
- >The perfect romantic afternoon setting.
- >Ruined by Rainbow Dash.
- >She's such a brute despite being a lady.
- >Oh well, it's not like it matters.
- >The tea pot shrieks, signalling you to take it off the burner and pour it into cups.
- >As you bring the cups to yourself with your magic, you glance back outside to see Rainbow now sitting in the seat YOU'RE supposed to be in.
- >And Anonymous seems to absolutely love her company.
- >You leer at her.
- >She's not good enough for him.
- >You glance at him as he actually slaps his knee while laughing.
- >A pout comes across your face.
- >What's so fun about being with her of all ponies?
- >The not-girly girl...
- >Is... that what Anonymous' prefers in women?
- >It would explain why he hasn't even considered you romantically yet.
- >All it takes is to be a tough girl.
- >A brute...
- >You walk over to the door and poke your head out, attracting Anonymous' attention from Rainbow.
- "Anonymous, dear! I've forgotten that I have a few things that need to be tended to."
- >"Oh, that's alright."
- >You levitate the tea cup out there to him.
- "You can have this though, since I promised. When you're finished, just leave it there darling."
- >He smiles and nods to you.
- >A gesture one would give a 'friend'.
- >You return it and head back inside, going upstairs to start taking notes on how to be a tomboy of sorts.
- -----
- >"That was a bit weird."
- >Anon sips from the tea and exhales.
- >He turns over toward you, lifting the cup.
- >"Want a taste, Bow?"
- >A taste of a drink after Anon's lips have been on it?
- >You fly down and take it out of his hands quickly, then stare at the spot where his lips were.
- >"Jeez. What's your deal?"
- >Heat goes across your face as you realize you've just snatched it from him without saying anything.
- "O-oh, my bad Anon. Just a bit um, thirsty from flying around all day."
- >In a faked nonchalant manner, you put your lips on where his were and pour the entire cup into your mouth.
- >Now, usually, you'd be able to tell how hot some liquid you're about to drink is.
- >But in your mind, the thought of Anon's indirect kiss was a heavy distraction.
- >Very heavy.
- >You land, spit out the near boiling water onto the ground, and cough.
- >Anon stands and moves toward you, leaning down to you as you cough.
- >"God damn, you okay?"
- >You nod and take a deep breath.
- "Why would she give you something so hot to drink?"
- >"...Rainbow, it's tea. It's better when it's hot."
- >You look off to the side.
- "Oh, right. But it doesn't have to be that hot..."
- >"And you didn't have to chug it. Why'd you do that?"
- >Quickly fly up so he can't see you blushing.
- "I did it cause I was thirsty, like I said!"
- >"Uhh... okay."
- >You gulp and turn away, still blushing.
- >He was so close to you...
- >Anon coughs a bit as this conversation grows more awkward.
- >Crap, he's probably onto you.
- >You'll just have to distract him.
- "Hey, watch this!"
- >Before he can ask what he'll be watching, you rocket off into the sky.
- >When you stop and look back, you see him holding his hand above his eyes so that he can watch you soar without the sun blinding him.
- >Up here you can be level headed and think straight.
- >It's really only when you get close to him that your brain starts to fuzz out...
- >But, you can't just ditch him like this.
- >After a little sigh at the fact that you can't just be normal and sit next to him, you plummet down toward the ground.
- >Even as you go straight toward the planet rapidly, you try not to go too fast.
- >The last thing you want to do is make Anon worried.
- >Zooming down to the trees in front of him in a couple seconds, you use your gained momentum to fly around one of the trees.
- >You manage to catch a glance at him as you speed around the tree.
- >He looks amazed.
- >The sight of his amusement is enough to excite you even more.
- >Deciding to crank it up just a bit, you swirl around the second tree, then back to the first in a figure eight form.
- >This should be a decent speed to go, it makes it seem like you have rainbow trail.
- >It probably looks super fast to Anon though.
- >He always thinks so highly of you...
- >The image of him thinking so much about you and how amazing you are at flying with style and finesse somewhat distracts you.
- >Because of your second slight distraction by Anon today, you don't realize you're slightly askew while flying.
- >Your leg hits the trunk on one tree and you yell out as you spiral off in another direction.
- >Cold water near instantly greets you, and you slow to a halt in it.
- >Did you just crash into the lake?
- >You look around in the water and confirm that indeed you have.
- >Swimming back up to the surface, you spit out the water that forced its way in your mouth.
- >Anon is already right at the edge of the lake, completely out of breath.
- >You look behind him at the trees at least half a kilometer away.
- >He ran all this way just for you?
- >"Are you okay?!"
- >You swim toward him until you get out of the water.
- "Y-yeah, the water was a nice pillow for my crash."
- >He sits down so fast it almost looks like he fell.
- >You go up and sit next to him.
- >"Ya scared the heck outta me..."
- >All you can do is hide your face from him by looking up and away.
- "Uh... sorry."
- >A bit more than a moment of silence passes.
- >Anon lays all the way on his back and looks up.
- >"Do you ever sit down here and look at the clouds?"
- >You lay on your back with him.
- "Whaddya mean?"
- >"I always see you relaxing on top of the clouds, but there isn't much to look at above you, is there?"
- >You shrug.
- "I dunno. I never really thought about that. I guess another cloud higher than me would drift by sometimes."
- >He points to the cloud dotted sky.
- >"So you've never sat down here and watched them move?"
- "If I do that, I usually fall asleep. Plus it's like my job to clear the sky of them."
- >"Well if that's the case, why not consider it like you're watching your prey?"
- >You gaze up at all the clouds slowly drifting in the direction of the light wind.
- "Huh... This is kinda relaxing."
- >"Yeah."
- >As you lay there watching the clouds inch by, you look over at Anon.
- >His eyes are closed, and his chest rises in a rhythmic pattern.
- >Is he asleep?
- >This could be your chance!
- >You start to scoot up next to him when suddenly something appears above you.
- >With a scream that makes Anon sit up, you jump away.
- >Applejack stands there next to Anon, and he immediately stands up.
- >"Yes? Do you need something?"
- >Applejack shoots a quick glare to you and then looks back at Anon.
- >"I need yer help. Come with me."
- >She walks off toward Sweet Apple Acres and Anon quickly follows behind.
- >Anon turns and waves to you, but you are too focused on Applejack to respond.
- >What the hay was that?
- >Why did he leave so willingly like that?
- >Are they...
- >Dating?
- >Why would Anon date her?
- >What's so special about her?
- >You feel your pouty face coming on, so you fly up to the clouds so nopony can see you.
- >Ugh.
- >All she does is act all country like and wear a hat.
- "Anypony can do that."
- >Saying that out loud gives you an idea.
- >You speed back to your house to begin practice.
- -----
- >"AJ, talk to me, what's wrong?"
- >You keep your head facing forward so you don't look at him and lose concentration.
- "Just need yer help gettin' Applebloom out of a tree."
- >He exhales deeply.
- >"Oh. Okay."
- >The silence between the two of you is almost painful as you trot along this dirt path.
- >Anon coughs as if he sees this as well.
- >"Um, so... How have you been?"
- >Your face heats up rapidly, so you push your hat down to cover it.
- "Been pretty fine, I s'pose. And yerself?"
- >"Today has been a little interesting, but besides that I'm pretty good. How's the family?"
- >You roll your eyes a little.
- "Pretty sure ya know how they are. Ya come around so often anyways."
- >Anon reaches up to scratch the back of his head while he chuckles.
- >"Heheh, you think so?"
- >You nod and move a little closer to him.
- >He comes to visit you, obviously.
- >That's why he spends so much time with you when he comes over.
- "So, ya said today was a little interestin'?"
- >He nods.
- >"Yeah, I met up with each of your friends."
- >So that's what he was doing with Rainbow.
- "Did ya have fun?"
- >He smiles down at you.
- >"Of course I did! They're all wonderful."
- >Him saying that kinda hurts a little, so you fake the smile you're giving him and return to looking forward.
- >"Uh, Applejack..."
- >Did he notice what you just did?
- >Is this gonna be like one of those romantic confessions Rarity always talks about?
- >He clears his throat a bit.
- >Oh boy.
- >Here we go.
- >He looks down at you.
- >"Applejack..."
- >You meekly look up at him with the hat covering most of your face.
- "Y-yeah Anon?"
- >"Shouldn't we be hurrying a bit more? Your sister is stuck in a tree."
- >The thought hits you like a sack of hot potatoes on a cold winter day.
- "R-RIGHT!"
- >You take off to a gallop to hide your face a little.
- >Also to get to Applebloom a little bit quicker, but to be honest, you saw her being stuck as an excuse to get him.
- >Probably coulda got her down yerself, but seein Anon's strong body help her out of the tree is a sight you don't wanna miss.
- >Anon catches up to you with a sprint and the two of you zoom down to the entrance of Sweet Apple Acres.
- >You slow to a halt a few feet away from the dirt path to the farm.
- >Thankfully, Applebloom got stuck in a tree close to the entrance, so you didn't have to go too far.
- >Well, not that you should be thankful she got stuck.
- >Just the fact that she got stuck where she got stuck.
- >That's confusin'.
- >"Help!"
- >Applebloom clings to a branch upside down now, with her legs wrapped around it.
- >Anon walks toward her and puts his arms up.
- >"How did you even get up there?"
- >He grabs her by the sides and pulls her off the branch, then places her on the ground.
- >"I was tryin' ta find the perfect apple..."
- >Anon looks up at the apple tree.
- >"Why not just kick it like usual?"
- >Applebloom turns around and kicks the tree, sending all of the apples down around the two of them.
- >"When they hit the ground, they might bruise a little. I need tha most perfectest apple!"
- >Anon smiles and pats her head.
- >"That's not a word. Now go off and don't climb any more trees. Oh, and say hey to your brother for me, will ya?"
- >She smiles brightly at him.
- >"Okay Anon!"
- >She happily trots off down the dirt path to the barn.
- >It seems everypony likes being around Anon.
- >Not just the mares.
- >Him and Mac hang out a bunch.
- >But it's almost like he doesn't see anypony like that...
- >As you ponder how Anon's mind works, something suddenly slams into his legs, taking him down.
- >You approach to see Fluttershy underneath Anon, the two of them dazed.
- >Anon quickly jumps up when realizing what happened, and helps Fluttershy to her hooves.
- >He kneels down so that he's face to face with her, and starts fixing her hair.
- >"Are you alright?"
- >Fluttershy avoids his eyes.
- >She must have the same problem...
- >"U-um, I'm fine."
- >Anon shakes his head as he pats dirt off her fur.
- >"You don't look it. What were you doing?"
- >Fluttershy bows her head.
- >"I-I'm sorry! I was trying to get home quickly and I sorta... zoned out."
- >Anon smiles and rises to his feet, putting his hand on Fluttershy's extremely blushed head.
- >He turns to you with a smile.
- >"I'm gonna go walk Fluttershy home now, okay?"
- >This all happened so fast, you don't know what to say.
- >So you just nod.
- >Anon and Fluttershy walk the direction she was flying and quickly disappear off into the distance.
- >You begin to walk back to the barn, thinking to yourself.
- >Why did he go take her home like that?
- >That usually means they're gonna bump rumps a bit.
- >The thought of that makes you angry and flustered, so you shake it out.
- >Why'd he want to take her home?
- >It makes sense to be nice and all cause he hurt her with his body, but it was her fault for running into him...
- >Well there's no need to get ahead of yourself.
- >He could just be really nice.
- >Or...
- >What if he likes her like that?
- >How could he?
- >She's so passive and quiet about things...
- >Pssh, so quiet and passive that it's actually really dumb how simple it is.
- >If he wants one of them girls, you reckon you could give that a shot.
- >Heh, as if you needed a shot.
- >Ya got this in the bag.
- -----
- >You wave goodbye to the yellow horse as she goes up the path to her house.
- "See you tomorrow, Fluttershy!"
- >She waves back and disappears into her cottage.
- >You sigh and turn around, the sunset making the sky a bright orange.
- "Today was a good day. Time to go home."
- >Thankfully your house isn't too far from Fluttershy's house.
- >It's nowhere near as beautiful though.
- >Just seems kinda...
- >You stand outside it and look at it.
- >Actually, it looks a lot like a shed.
- >You open the door and walk into the living room/bed room combo.
- >In the corner is the small island declaring the beginning of the kitchen, and in the opposite corner is the door to the bathroom.
- >Cozy little home.
- >Just like you were promised.
- >After you finish reminiscing for no apparent reason, you walk over and get into futon still in bed mode.
- >You kick off your shoes, clap the lights off, and go to sleep.
- -----
- >It was so sweet of Anon to take you home like that...
- >Even though is was a bit embarrasing.
- >You couldn't even act like Twilight like you were planning to!
- >It's probably because he surprised you...
- >But you won't let that happen tomorrow!
- >You lay down and close your eyes with a heart full of determination.
- "I'm going to make him see me more."
- -----
- >You roll over in bed, thinking the plan through at least twelve times.
- >Anon is such a cutie when he thanks ponies...
- >Your heart melts a little when you remember how he put his fingers through your mane.
- >To keep yourself composed though, you shake your head and smile.
- >Turns out there were way more party books than you thought here.
- >Tomorrow is going to be a great day.
- >Scooting under the covers a bit more, you mumble out before falling asleep.
- "I'm going to get him to like me."
- -----
- >Gummy stares you in the face.
- "I know! Like, how even?"
- >He blinks both eyes at different speeds.
- "You what?! I think you need to get some sleep."
- >You put him down on the floor and sprawl out on your bed.
- >What were you doin a second ago?
- >OH YEAH.
- >ANON.
- >TOMORROW'S PISH POSH PINKIE DAY!
- >You giggle to yourself and get comfortable for bed.
- "I'm gonna win him over for sure!"
- -----
- >"Rarity, have you seen my crayons?"
- >You take off your sleep mask and glare at her.
- "Why would your crayons be in my room?"
- >She backs away a little.
- >"N-nevermind..."
- >She leaves the room and you groan to yourself while putting the mask back on.
- >As if you didn't have enough to think about tonight.
- >Only a little practice was had and it's truly impossible to not be good at being an absolute brute.
- >A smirk comes across your face as you lay there.
- "Tomorrow, he's mine."
- -----
- >You look at yourself with the hat on in the mirror and laugh a little.
- "This looks silly."
- >But if this is what Anon likes in a mare, you can be it.
- >Tank flies past you and lands on your bed.
- >Guess it's time to sleep then.
- >Taking off the hat and rope, you get on the bed.
- >This is it.
- >Tomorrow is the big day.
- >You curl up with Tank.
- "I won't lose to her."
- -----
- >You finish combing your hair so it's nice and long, then stop to admire the way it hangs back sort of majestically.
- >It doesn't make sense that he'd like Fluttershy for only her passiveness.
- >So why not take the extra step?
- >You hang your hat up on the rack and lay down on your bed.
- >You've had a couple hours of practice at a normal tone of voice.
- >Things should be just fine tomorrow.
- >Laying your head down on your pillow, you speak to yourself.
- "He won't be able to resist me."
- -----
- >You are sitting in a train car next to Spike and Sweetie Belle.
- >Spike laughs and turns to you.
- >"Right, Anon?"
- "Hm? What?"
- >"Isn't what she said funny?"
- "What did she say?"
- >He frowns at you.
- >"Whaddya mean? You weren't listening?"
- "Sorry. Guess I zoned out."
- >Spike looks at Sweetie Belle.
- >"Say it again, will ya?"
- >She giggles and nods.
- >"Okay. So, two ponies walk into a bar. One pony looks to the other and says-"
- >She lets out the most ungodly screech and her head explodes into confetti.
- >You start screaming and sit up, waking yourself from the nightmare.
- >There's party decorations all over your living room and Twilight is at your feet on the bed, wearing some weird cake costume that cant hold her wings.
- "Twilight?"
- >"Hiya, Nonno!"
- >She teleports two feet away from herself to the loveseat.
- >"Come on, get up so we can party!"
- "What?"
- >A party blower yells and smacks you in the ear, making you move away from it and get up.
- "What's this about?"
- >Twilight bounces back onto the futon.
- >"How about some music?!"
- >She moves a boombox out from under the futon and puts it on the table with her magic, then presses the button.
- >A random assortment of high and low pitched versions of her saying the word party are played together.
- >She shakes and juts out different parts of her body somewhat in tune with the parties being screamed out of that box.
- >Is this some kind of prank?
- >Regardless, you don't have time for this.
- >Under the stealth of the loud "party" music, you sneak your shoes on and slip out the door.
- >Hopefully you dont smell too bad today.
- >As you walk down the path from your house, you are tackled to the ground by something.
- >You turn and see Rarity with really weirdly styled hair.
- >She nods slowly to you as you meet eyes.
- >She speaks in a low tone.
- >"Sup."
- "Uh, what?"
- >She stands up and ignores the dirt on her precious white fur, then speaks again like that.
- >"My bad, bro. I was doing my daily sprints and didn't see you there."
- >You look behind you in the direction she came from.
- >The only thing there is your house and the forest behind it.
- >Bringing your eyes back to her, you ask,
- "Are you feeling okay, Rarity?"
- >"Pfft. Am I feeling okay? Are you, Anon? What's up?"
- >You stand up and look down at her.
- "Um... Nothing. I'm fine."
- >She nods.
- >"Cooool. So, wanna hang and go laugh about dumb things?"
- "I'm leaving."
- >You turn and start walking away, and surprisingly, she doesn't follow.
- >She just looks down.
- >What's wrong with those two today?
- >They were just fine yesterday...
- >In no time at all, you find yourself right in front of SugarCube Corner.
- >Peeking your head into the place, you see that it's not even open.
- >That doesn't make much sense.
- >Pinkie always keeps it open when she's not busy.
- >Oh well.
- >You turn away from the entrance to SugarCube Corner and immediately jump back from the pink pony standing in front of you.
- "God, Pinkie! Don't scare me like that!"
- >You see that she's wearing what looks like a bunch of streamers taped together.
- >That seems pretty normal for her, so maybe there's no reason to worry that the other two might be related to this.
- >She then lifts her chin a little and talks with a pompous tone.
- >"Apologies, Sweetfoot. I've had to close the place down for a little while as I am currently getting some things straightened out in my life."
- >...Sweetfoot?
- >The fuck is that?
- >Also, what is happening right now?!
- "Pinkie, why do you sound more sophisticated than normal?"
- >"Why not, Sweetfoot? I simply adore this mannerism of speech, don't you?"
- >You start to back away from her.
- "No. No I don't. Look, I gotta go."
- >Without hesitation, you take off running away from her.
- >This is bad.
- >This might be more of a problem than you originally thought.
- >Is this some kind of magic thing that did this to everyone?
- >What if it got all the way over to hi-
- >Before you can complete your thoughts, a rope wraps around your waist and pulls you into an alley.
- >You slam against a dumpster and a hoof is pressed on your back, keeping you there.
- >A voice you don't recognize speaks from behind you.
- >"Howdy, Anon."
- >You turn and see Rainbow wearing a dark blue cowboy hat.
- >Looking down, you see the rope she threw was more of a mesh than a lasso...
- >"How ya feelin' this fine mornin'?"
- >Wiggling your way out of her terrible knots, you groan.
- "I feel like shit. Everyone is fucking weird today and I don't know why!"
- >"I reckon ya just haven't found the right one yet."
- "Wha-"
- >She quickly closes the distance between your faces.
- >"But yer time might have just come."
- >You push her off you and stand up.
- >Something is seriously not right here.
- >Rushing out of the alley past her, you take off through town.
- >Is this some kind of virus that changes personalities?
- >If so, it might be contagious.
- >You rush toward Sweet Apple Acres as fast as you can.
- >After a few minutes of constant sprinting, you reach the small bridge and slow down a bit.
- >Fluttershy is staring off the side of the bridge.
- >Okay, this will be the deciding point to see if everyone has been changed...
- >You approach her and greet her.
- "Hi, Fluttershy. How are you feeling?"
- >She turns to you a bit shocked and you see that she's wearing thick glasses.
- >"Hello Anon. How are you on this fine day?"
- >This is different, but it's not too bad.
- >Hopefully.
- "I'm pretty bad actually. Everyone in town is acting really weird."
- >She seems to quirk up at this.
- >"What's wrong with them?"
- >You take a seat on the edge of the bridge.
- "They're not acting like themselves. It's like their personalities have all changed."
- >"Oh, so this could probably be the result of either a magical or physical ailment..."
- >It's starting to seem like Fluttershy's changed too.
- >She puts a hoof to her chin and looks away while thinking.
- >"If we could just get one of them to observe and learn from, I think we might be able to do some form of brain surgery to figure out just what's going on in those noggins."
- >Yep.
- >Time to move on.
- >You stand up and continue walking to Sweet Apple Acres as Fluttershy looks away while thoughtfully talking to no one.
- >Just what the hell is going on?
- >Finally, after walking for at least twenty minutes, you reach Sweet Apple Acres.
- >Wasting no time, you walk straight down the dirt path to the barn.
- >You have to find out...
- >As you're walking, you notice some long yellow hair poking out from behind a tree to your left.
- >You stop and inspect the tree to find Applejack curled up there.
- >She has no hat on and her hair is completely let down.
- >It's a lot longer than you thought it was...
- >Placing a hand on her makes her jump a little.
- "Are you okay?"
- >She looks up at you through the mane covering her face and then looks down.
- >"I-I'm fine..."
- >She's obviously not fine, but you guide her out of the shade from the trees to better examine her.
- >She looks wonderful with her long mane and tail gracefully fluttering behind her in the tiny amount of breeze.
- >But something about her is really off.
- "What's wrong?"
- >She looks up at you and then meekly replies.
- >"I-I said I'm f-fine. I'm sorry for making you worry."
- >You glare down at her.
- >Applejack has never been this submissive before.
- >Grabbing her hoof, you kneel down.
- "Tell me what's wrong."
- >She turns and moves her hoof out of your hand.
- >"If I'm b-bothering you, I'll l-leave..."
- >She wanders back into the trees alone.
- >What?
- >What the fuck?
- >It's probably that stupid virus.
- >You rush over to the barn and see Big Mac eating some pancakes on a bench.
- "Hey Mac!"
- >He looks up as you run over.
- >"Howdy. Thought we were gettin together later on?"
- >Thank fuck he's okay.
- "Yeah well, I thought so too. But then these really weird things started happening in town with the girls..."
- >He stands up.
- >"The girls?"
- "Yeah."
- >"Fluttershy, Twilight, Pinkie, Rarity, Rainbow, and AJ?"
- >You blink a couple times.
- "How'd you know that?"
- >He points behind you and you see them all lined up just as he said them.
- "Mac, get away! They have some kind of virus!"
- >He raises an eyebrow at you.
- >"What? They look normal tah me."
- >You approach them.
- "Are you guys normal now?"
- >They all nod and then look at each other as if they're confused.
- >Then they start to argue amongst themselves.
- "No. We're not doing this right now."
- >They stop and look at you.
- >You point to Fluttershy.
- "You speak first."
- >She nods and bows her head a little.
- >"I just wanted you to pay more attention to me... like... romantically..."
- >She takes a deep breath.
- >"And I saw you with Twilight, so I thought you liked ponies like Twilight."
- >Twilight's eyes open as she pieces together what might have happened.
- >Next, you point to Twilight.
- >She speaks immediately.
- >"Just like Fluttershy, I was desperate to get you to notice me as a possible partner in love. But, you and Pinkie were really physically affectionate unlike how you are with me..."
- >Dragging a hoof along the ground, she continues.
- >"So I thought maybe I had to be like Pinkie."
- >Pinkie, still adorning her streamer outfit, speaks next without being told to.
- >"That's SO weird! I feel the same way, cause Nonny left me to go be with Rarity."
- >She points to the outfit she has on.
- >"So that's why I put on this thingy and totally pulled off a good Rarity impression."
- >Rarity gags at her outfit and retorts.
- >"I highly doubt it was a good impression of me..."
- >Pinkie nods.
- >"Yeah I did! And I even came up with a cute nickname for him like you do with darling."
- >Rarity looks a tad bit intrigued.
- >"And what was this nickname?"
- >Pinkie practically shouts out, "Sweetfoot!"
- >All of them look at her like she's crazy.
- >She puts her hooves up.
- >"What? You're supposed to say something that you like to eat and then a body part, right? What was I gonna say? Sweet-heart?"
- >All of them nod.
- >"Hearts aren't sweet, they're slimy and pumpy and ech! Feet can be sweet if they're in cake."
- >Everyone is annoyed.
- >Even me.
- >"OH COME ON DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK TO COME UP WITH SWEETFOOT?! LIKE, FIVE MINUTES. FIVE WHOLE MINUTES!"
- >Rarity coughs, catching your attention from Pinkie's rambling.
- >"Anonymous, truth be told, I was going to confess my feelings to you at that table outside of my boutique."
- >She shoots a glare to Rainbow on her left.
- >"But somepony had to come in and mess with the fabric of my thought process. Can you actually believe I thought you'd like a girl like that?"
- >Rainbow looks like she's ready to fight Rarity, but solves it by talking.
- >"Whatever. Anon doesn't like me and I can sorta accept that, unlike you. Anyway, it's kinda hard to be me around you, Anon."
- >She blushes and tries to focus on your eyes only.
- >"It's not like a bad thing, but it's not good either. I feel so nervous I get kinda messed up and stuff. I dunno. Maybe I'm the weird one."
- >She points to the blue hat she still wears.
- >"I saw you go along with Applejack without a problem, so I thought maybe the two of you were together... It made me mad, and I thought I could be a better AJ than AJ."
- >AJ sighs as she pushes her long hair out of her face.
- >"Reckon it's mah turn then. Most of mah feelins I share with Rainbow here. The fuzzy feeling I get when I'm with you..."
- >She pushes the extremely long hair out of her face once again.
- >"And when I saw ya take off with Fluttershy after she crashed into ya like that, it seemed like ya just weren't interested in me. She was better. So I tried to copy her."
- >They all look over at her astonishing mane, then all look up at you.
- >You cross your arms and sigh.
- "That's what all this was about?"
- >They nod at different times.
- >With a shake of the head, you turn around and walk over to Big Mac.
- >Putting an arm around him, you smile to the girls.
- "Sorry, but I'm taken!"
- >You share a small kiss with your lover, Big Mac.
- >All of their hopeful expressions shatter.
- >Rainbow flies up and screams.
- >"WHAT?!"
- >Rarity faints onto a couch that definitely wasn't there a second ago.
- >Twilight closes her eyes to cope with this new information.
- >AJ looks disgusted, while Fluttershy simply sits down as if to stop herself from crying.
- >Pinkie is standing there, her hair deflating and inflating rapidly like a woman's lungs while giving birth.
- >She keeps speaking to herself.
- >"Celebrate? Go home. Celebrate? Go home."
- >Suddenly they all stop what they're doing and get up.
- >They look to each other and all nod with determined faces.
- >Purple magic grabs you and pulls you toward them.
- >You are slammed onto the ground, where Rarity removes your clothing with her magic.
- "MAC! MAC HELP ME!"
- >AJ turns to her brother and he just shrugs.
- >"Ya shoulda told them."
- >She nods to her brother and turns back to spread your legs while the others stare lustfully down at you.
- "NOOOO!"
