Kid Anon and Mommashy part 11

>And so another day had passed by. Indeed Equestria was a fun and interesting place. Where something strange and mythical was around every bend. You just hope you never run into the evil side of it.
>As per usual, you dusted the cottage as Fluttershy took care of the animals and prepared lunch. A very common routine at this point.
>Both you and Fluttershy hear a knocking at the door. It's a bit rough. hmmm, who could it be?
>You tell Fluttershy that you'll get it. You were thinking maybe it was that delivery of clothes you were waiting for.
>However, the moment you open that door. Your face turns pale. ohhhhhhhhh boy.....
>The pony who stood before you was none other than Applejack. She was smiling, but her movements suggested she was none too pleased. If you had to guess, this was about yesterday's shenanigans. You gulped hard.
>The moment she saw you she squinted at you hard. You started sweating bullets as you took a step back. Then she smiled.
>"oh, ya must be that Anon feller Fluttershy talked about, I'm Applejack, pleasure to meet ya"
>You gulped again, you started to silently thank your lucky stars as it seems she didn't notice you yesterday.
>Applejack tapped your side abit, she seemed confused "What's the matter? I thought ya can talk?"
>Great...the first pony to actually make the right assumption and you make yourself look stupid.
>You cough "y-yup, I can...nice to m-meet you"
>She eyed you suspiciously, as if something about you seemed familiar. "hmmmmmmm......" then she snapped back to neutral "Well i'ma here to see Fluttershy, I reckon she's here,ain't she?"
>You step to the side and point. "She's busy making lunch. Maybe you could come back another time?"
>She stepped past you, she stated that the reason she was here was rather important....oh boy, you had a feeling exactly why she was here. But, atleast she didn't recognize you.
>Applejack greeted Fluttershy, in which Fluttershy in turn greeted Applejack and offered her to join in for lunch. You, you just went back to dusting, keeping an ear out for anything related to yesterday.
>Applejack declined and stated she wanted to talk to her about an incident that occured yesterday. You started to lose focus on your duties the moment she said that.
>Applejack started to talk about how Discord had tormented her and the orchard yesterday. Despite him returning everything to normal in the end, she was apparantly still angrier than a stirred hive of hornets.
>"oh no no no no, that can't be right. He was befriending Anon almost all day yesterday."
>You nearly fell over as you heard that statement. Applejack slowly turned over to look at you "he was befriending who now?"
>But fluttershy looked up and continued "......unless he did it after he dropped Anon off. But Applejack, Discord was just playing. He changed everything back right?"
>Applejack was still staring at you as you nervously went back to dusting. her words from yesterday "whoever ya got up there" started to ring in your head.
>"That's not the point Fluttershy, just because he became nicer doesn't mean he can still go rustlin' up some trouble"
>Fluttershy frowned, she didn't want to be mad at him. She felt abit happy he atleast changed everything back, as he normally wouldn't. ".....did he atleast apologize?"
>"he did, still don't make it right, probably lying through that snaggletooth anyway."
>Applejack told Fluttershy she needs to get him to calm down, or somepony could get seriously injured. Fluttershy just reluctantly agreed, her voice as quiet as a mouse. You felt bad for her, you also now regret not trying to stop Discord from continuing his pranking pursuits that day.
>"......you know....I don't think he's that bad."
>Applejack looked at you, as if you knew nothing. And told you that you didn't know anything, you were only with him for a day.
>Fluttershy spoke up, asking Applejack to calm down. That she would deal with it the next time he showed up.
>Applejack looked at her stubbornly, and then took a breath. She apologised for sounding so angry, but apparantly today is the day she was going to sell apple products. And she had to spend all night rechecking everything to make sure Discord didn't ruin anything. But she was serious he needed a talking to.
>Fluttershy nodded, and being the ever kind pony she was, accepted her apology. Applejack put a bottle of apple cider on the counter and said it was on the house. You thought it suspicious, but perhaps there was nothing to worry about.
>Applejack said her goodbyes, and told Fluttershy if she was in Ponyville today, to stop by at the apple stand. Fluttershy nodded, and said she will probably do just that. And even see if you'd like to go along. You'd go, any chance to absorb anything outside the cottage was always good. And even better as it'd be a casual trip. No shopping involved. And the best part, Applejack didn't question you at all about anything.
>Applejack left
>You sighed in relief as you went back to dusting, but you noticed Fluttershy was staring at you.
>"Anon.....you don't know anything about that...do you?"
>shiiiiiiiit
>You stare silently,nervously,timidly at Fluttershy. You didn't know how to answer this.
>Fluttershy looked at you with disappointment. "Anon....why didn't you say anything?
>You curled your lips. You knew the truth. You were scared of getting in trouble, and you were doubly scared of the seemingly violent farm pony. You look down "I didn't want to get in trouble...."
>Fluttershy lifted your head with her hoof gently and told you that you wouldn't have gotten in trouble. Not unless you actually did anything bad yourself. And if you had, she'd still forgive you...no matter what.
>You thought about it for abit. You didn't remember doing anything bad yourself other than finding Applejack's buckethead funny. And that was probably nothing major. Plus you knew she'd forgive you, Applejack on the other hand...
>Fluttershy asks you what exactly happened on the farm. You told her everything except for the part where he gloated about "winning". Fluttershy found it sweet he'd make a sunset for you, she had wondered why the sun even moved like that. But she seemed disappointed in you abit for not trying to stop him from dropping the bucket. You did indeed make it sound you hadn't said anything to stop it. But she gave you a hug, and told you there was no harm done and she'd sort everything else out.
>You began to calm down, and wrapped your arms around Fluttershy. You could only imagine what the scenario had been like had Applejack put two and two together. She probably wouldn't had been so forgiving, especially had you joined in on Discord's fun on the farm.
>Fluttershy gave you a peck on the head, something that always brings a smile to your face, and continued to make lunch. Stating it'd be ready soon.
>You went back to your dusting, and asked her if she was really planning to go to Ponyville today. She told you she was, and of course, just as she said she would, asked if you wanted to come along.
>Of course you did, that giant tree castle looked really interesting...infact "Can we see the castle?! I've never been to a real castle before!"
>You had a small feeling Fluttershy was going to say no, what business would she have inside a castle?
>But surprisingly, she said yes. As if it was all good.
>You felt abit excited, this was the real deal. Fluttershy had told you about Princess Twilight before. And how they were really good friends, even before princesshood. hmmm...You wondered if she was as proper as Miss Rarity.
>You then ask Fluttershy if you and her would not stop by to see Applejack, that she scared you.
>Fluttershy giggled, and said she would, and then told you that you were only scared because you thought you'd get in trouble. She told you she was actually a very nice friend.
>You weakly laughed. Yup, very nice....jusssssst like Discord. Of course this was a sarcastic thought. As by now you realised she sugar coats most things.
>After dusting and lunch, you got dressed into your suit and adjusted your bowtie. You practiced alittle of proper etiquette in your mind. You were visiting a castle afterall. You even adjusted your hair, something you never normally did.
>Fluttershy was waiting by the door. Looking at you prepare, she found it cute that you were trying to be gentlemanly..coltly...hmmm.
>You bounced backwards and stepped triumphantly towards the door. You kind of wished you had a top hat and gloves to go along with the suit....maybe a cane....monocle...fake mustache.
>You opened the door and bowed towards Fluttershy. "After you madame"
>She almost hugged you, she thought you were absolutely adorable. But she held back and just played along "Thank you sir hehe". She hadn't the heart to tell you that things wouldn't be as regal as you thought it'd be.
>You kept this all the way up until you reached Ponyville, when timid fear started to take hold. You tried to stay proper as the residents eyes descended upon you....except for that grey pegasus, you couldn't tell what she was looking at.
>Again, it wasn't as bad as your mind made it seem. But now you had a better idea why. Given you now know that super powered monstrosities had attacked the town before.
>As you pass through the town, you noticed an empty spot near the center. It's the remains of what seemed to be a giant tree. You wondered if that was the tree library that was in Discord's movie...did they leave the remains as a memorial? hmmm.
>You also notice Applebloom, and two other fillies with her. They were around some kind of contraption with a propellor and a basket. It looked like they were trying to get it to work.
>You stop Fluttershy for a moment, completely intrigued on what they might be trying to do. You wanted to check it out.
>You whisper to Fluttershy "Mom, can I go see what they are doing?"
>Fluttershy tells you it's alright, no harm in a small detour. You smile and casually walk over to the fillies. They don't seem to notice you as they begin to tap at the machine. Uttering such things as "Work, dang you!"
>You speak up with a "HI!". scaring the purple maned pegasus onto her back. The white unicorn filly simply looks up at you, curious as to what you might be. And Apple Bloom just smiles at you. "hm? Oh, howdy Anon! we meet again"
>The pegasus filly points at you as she gets back on her legs and backs up "Applebloom! What is that thing!"
>Fluttershy steps up from behind you and looks at the young pegasus. "Scootaloo, please don't be so rude. He's not a thing, he's my son"
>Suddenly, the fillies are stunned in disbelief as they stare at Fluttershy.
>Even you look back in disbelief. She had never openly called you son....ever.
>Your lips quivered. You were silent. You could see her standing proud from that statement. No shame in the statement she made whatsoever.
>The white unicorn whispered over to Applebloom. "ummm...hey Applebloom. Did you know Fluttershy was married?"
>Applebloom whispered back "no.....do ya know WHAT she could be hitched to?"
>You didn't know what to say. You wanted to avoid calling Fluttershy "mom" to the other ponies to spare her the embarassment. To your knowledge, only Discord and Pinkie knew. But it seems that didn't matter at all.
>"m-m-mom?" was all you could say.
>Before Fluttershy could reply, the pegasus pony spoke out. "Ok hold on, how can he be your son? Doesn't there need to be a dad too?"
>Fluttershy told her that there didn't need to be a father. That you were her son irregardless of anything else. "He doesn't need to be a pony to be my son, he's my son because I love him like any mother would love their child. Anon means the world to me, please try to understand that....please"
>You try to keep from crying, not out in public. Not this. You felt loved, but at the same time felt shame for any kind of embarassment you may have felt you had over the whole matter.
>You hug onto Fluttershy. and cry, you couldn't hold it in. The white unicorn found the whole thing beautiful. Applebloom didn't seem to want to say anything. And the pegasus blurted out "wierd".
>As you hug Fluttershy. A sudden thought of three girls looking at a boy be a sissy crossed your mind. You stopped hugging and stealthily rubbed the tears from your eyes as you turn to the fillies and raise your fist. "Yup....and she's my mom...yup..and if anyone tried to hurt her...i'd...umm..tear em apart with my fists"
>You were sure you regained your manliness with that statement. But the word "son" lingered in your mind. making you want to cry again. You didn't fully understand it, you didn't understand what made you so special. But that was going to have to be figured out later.
>The unicorn giggled, The pegasus however seemed to actually believe it. She even wanted to see it done.
>"urm, Scootaloo. I dun think Anon is actually that strong, ah don't even think he could buck apple trees." Applebloom was skeptical
>You smirked, you had atleast one of them believing you "I probably could, I bet I could even beat a dragon"
>Fluttershy seemed to be getting antsy, she didn't like how suddenly things seemed to be getting verbally violent.
>The unicorn walked over to you and looked back at her friends. "hey girls, don't you think it's kind of rude we havn't introduced ourselves yet?"
>Applebloom states she already has, the pegasus simply states "no"
>The unicorn gives the pegasus abit of a mean look before looking back at you with an adorable smile. "I'm Sweetie Belle, you already met Applebloom, and she's Scootaloo"
>Sweetie Belle leans in abit close to whisper "Don't mind her, she's just abit uptight because she can't fly, and neither does our invention"
>You stared at Sweetie Belle, holy crap. Suddenly your mind went blank as she looked at you. She was......so adorable. You wanted to take her home and pet her, feed her, and nuzzle into her on scary ni....
>She started to look at you as if you were a wierdo. You coughed and straightened up. "oh, ahrm, an invention? I didn't know you guys were inventors."
>Sweetie Belle states that they aren't really. But at the same time were hoping they were. Apparantly they thought they'd get their cutie marks by making a successful invention. In this case, a delivery basket that runs itself. She starts to look down, sad at the apparant failure.
>Applebloom went to her side to cheer her up, telling her it just means they are closer to finding that one thing.
>Even Scootaloo added in an encouraging word, saying that they'd probably find out tommorow.
>Fluttershy told them she had faith in every one of them. But as you looked at the invention. You just wondered how it was supposed to do anything. Unless it was supposed to be powered by magic. You wondered if magic could even do that.
>You didn't want to stick around too much longer. As you remember the first time you met Applebloom. You remembered she wanted to examine you to unlock some secrets...or something. You figured at this point they were crusading for their cutie marks. And they'd probably do anything to get them. You also resist every urge in your body to pet and hug Sweetie Belle. You wanted her as a pet.
>You tell Fluttershy you want to go and see the castle. And look back at the crusaders. You tell them goodbye, and perhaps you all could hang out sometime, you could even maybe help them find their cutie marks.
>"Well Anon, I reckon we could still try to examine ya to find out more about ya and where ya came from, I reckon you had to have come from somewhere, Ya might not even be from Equestria!" Applebloom gave a genuine smile, no ulterior motive in her voice than to do just that. And you didn't want that. A part of you didn't want to know or remember anything other than what you already knew.
>You decline that particular notion as politely as possible. And with goodbyes said. You and Fluttershy head to the castle.
>As you walk with Fluttershy, you ask her if she meant what she said. About you being her son.
>She turns to you with a proud grin. "I mean it. I don't say thing I don't mean....." Then her smile becomes abit embarassed "ummm...sorry if I embarassed you..."
>"huh? oh NO NO NO. I...wasn't embarassed at all. I'm a boy. Aslong as I can clobber things, then it's ok"
>She looks up abit, looking puzzled "But Anon, you don't clobber things...well except nasty dust that threaten to make us sneeze"
>Even if she didn't mean that in a bad way, that stung. You were supposed to be tough. Yet the only animal you ever tamed were dust bunnies. It's tough being a boy in a pony world.
>You nuzzle into Fluttershy abit as you both walk. Even if she can be embarassing and abit overly motherly, she was the best pony in the universe. And nopony could change that.
>You both finally arrive to the giant tree castle. It was taller than you'd imagine up close. You noticed however that there were no guards. Didn't royalty need protection? You ask Fluttershy as you step inside.
>"Well ummm....Twilight doesn't think she needs any. She sort of tries to keep things normal"
>Normal? Why would anypony want that? If you were prince, you'd fill your castle with toys and have fireworks everywhere and everypony would have to call you "Awesome Prince Anon"....or maybe that was abit much....but definitely not normal.
>You both pass by the throne room.....multiple thrones? You again ask Fluttershy what's that about. Were there other princesses?
>"Those thrones....well they belong to Twilight's friends...and..."
>You stop her "waiiiitt...mom...friends? Aren't you?"
>She nodded, she tried to tell you which was hers. But you just asked her ,with excitement in your breath, if she was a princess.
>She takes a breath from being interrupted, and tells you no. She only supports Twilight. like a council.
>A council? Did that mean Pinkie was part of the council? That was abit of a scary thought, she seemed to have this "I know everything" vibe hidden under her bubbly nature. She could probably level countries. And Applejack didn't seem very capable.
>You decide to sit on one of the thrones and make demands at imaginary servants. Fluttershy giggles abit "Would my little prince like to meet the princess now?"
>You look at her, abit grossed out. "Ummm...aslong as I don't have to kiss her"
>She started laughing at the idea, She imagined Twilight wigging out alot more than you would.
>She led you up some stairs and through a hallway, you could see a door with a light coming from it.
>You can hear a light sounding,annoyed, groan coming from the other end of the door. Was that her?
>Fluttershy pushes open the door to reveal a large library. And at a desk. A purple pony.....with a horn and wings? An Alicorn. She was slumped over it groaning, with a bunch of parchment under her.
>This was Princess Twilight? She didn't seem very....princessy.
>Fluttershy walked over to Twilight and mumbled abit "ummm....Hello Twilight, did we come at a bad time?"
>She didn't move. She kept her face buried in her parchments. Still annoyed. "no Fluttershy......just trying to figure out what to do about construction plans for a new tree library. Considering we need to find an actual good sized tree to house books in, and then theres some ordinances to be figured out for Ponyville, And the upcoming visit from Princess Celestia....so nothing major"
>She almost sounded sarcastic about it.
>Fluttershy apologised noting her tone, and asked if she should come back later.
>Twilight sighed and apologized. She explains she's just tired from her duties. She lifts her head up to look at her.
>She notices you, and stares silently. Like she had never seen anything like you She probably hadn't. But you could swear you saw the glint of one who wanted to ask a million questions in her eyes.
