This is unreal. I then look down at the little six… "Fillies?" they look nothing of this world. They look so… cartoonish. Yet they are physically there.
I shook my head and brushed the question out of my head to solve it later.
I gently picked up the fallen filly and wrapped it around my left arm and picked up the basket with my right. I put the basket in the middle of the carpeted living room floor.
I was just a loss of words. I noticed that there is other stuff in the basket as I carried it in, but ignored it as I tried to find something to warm up these 'fillies'.
I put the fallen filly back into the basket with the others. Suddenly they all start to huddle together and started to shiver. I quickly got the message and found a blanket on the side of the couch. I then picked all of them up and wrapped the warm and snug blanket around them. I delicately put them down and they all looked up at me with their sparkling eyes and warm smiles. I smiled back as I kneeled down and scan the contents of the basket.
I see a pink card with a heart. "The note I just read earlier and it contained their names'
Next I see a little brown book labeled 'My very first story' I clenched my chest due to the fact that the purple filly known as twilight sparkle, was holding this book earlier and it was cute. So cute in fact that my heart stopped for a second due to the cuteness.
Another item contained in the basket was a red delicious apple earlier held by the mouth of the orange one named 'applejack'. " Looks like this one belongs to her." I said
Before I checked out the other items, I heard to some giggling. I glanced up to see that the six foals started to play with each other. Two of them started to wrestle, the white one with a purple mane and tail known as 'rarity' tried to break up the playful fight. During the battle, twilight slowly trotted towards me with a smile and a glint in her violet eyes. As she trotted, I noticed that she still had both wings and a horn.
"So the whole gang was turned into fillies after her coronation." I pondered
The little purple alicorn then sat in front of me.
"Hi there!" she said with a slightly squeaky voice. "My name is twilight sparkle and these are my friends!" she points her hoof at the little brawl that consists of four fillies. However there is one filly that strayed away from the playful banter and started to walk around and started to examine my furniture.
I look back at twilight and smiled. "I can tell" I said as I look back at the brawling fillies to the basket.
"Why don't you break up the fight while I unpack your things?" I asked twilight.
"Okay!" she accepted gleefully with a joyful grin. As she did a little gallop to the fight and tried to stop them, I look back at the basket.
You're probably thinking why I'm not going crazy or questioning their existence or something or the unusually calm mood at this kind of situation. Like I said earlier, I'll just brush off the questions until later.
I then spot a small shiny necklace that resembles one of the cutie marks on a familiar cyan colored Pegasus with… well a rainbow colored mane and tail, Also known as 'Rainbow Dash'. Her name suits her well because her mane and tail do resemble a rainbow! This small golden necklace looks like it can only fit in foals and nothing bigger.
I put the necklace on the side to examine another item of interest. A vanilla flavored cupcake with blue icing expertly crafted on the top of the cupcake with a touch of sprinkles, what truly surprised me was its condition. It's like it was untouched even though it was cramped with the little ones and in the pouring rain. I believe this one belongs to pinkie pie and no other due to the fact that she does work at sugarcube corner after all.
After I examined the perfect cupcake, a pink blur quickly ran up my shoulder and instantly stopped. After I felt a little weight on my shoulder I looked and see pinkie giving me a bubbly smile with the same glint in her blue eyes just like twilight's. The smell of cotton candy instantly invaded my nose as she stood on my shoulder. So it was true that her mane does smell like cotton candy.
"Hi! I'm pinkie pie what's your name? oooh! Do you like the cupcake I made? Ohmygosh! I love cupcakes! I also love other sweets too like lollipops, candy corn, and tons of other sweets!." She gasped. "And maybe we can start baking stuff and –
I put a finger on her lips to silence her squeaky motor mouth and smiled. "Yes pinkie we can bake all the sweets you can eat. Just let me finish unpacking your things okay?"
"mmkay!" her muffled voice said. As I remove my finger from her muzzle, she quickly zipped towards the cupcake and took a huge bite off of it and started to hop around the living room. I then examine the two items left in the basket.
A blue handmade blanket with the name 'rarity' sown in cursive at the bottom of the master piece. Item number two is a small stuffed white bunny that has its name stitched on the back which spells out 'angel'. Obviously the blanket belongs to the little fashionista and the bunny belongs to a shy butter yellow Pegasus with a light pink mane which her name is 'fluttershy'.
After completing the task of finding out what's inside, I felt a gentle tug against the bottom of my shirt. I look down and see the yellow Pegasus covering half her face with her mane.
"u-um… I.. h-have you seen… a stuffed bunny around here? The little Pegasus shyly asked.
(I think my heart just exploded)
I quickly picked up angel from the basket and presented it to fluttershy. She then gasps and gently approached me to reunite with her stuffed animal. She then takes the bunny out of my hand and starts hugging it with a cute smile. "oh thank you thank you thank you!" she thanked.
You know what? Just for the hell of it…
"what's your name?" I ask even though I already know.
she then stopped her cuddling and started to nervously draw circles around the carpet with her hoof.
"my n-name is….fluttershy" she hid behind her hair.
"what was that? I didn't quite catch that." I said while holding back my snicker.
"um… I-its… f-fluttershy…." She shyly stuttered.
'alright that's enough teasing'
I giggled a bit. "nice to meet you fluttershy. My name is Jeremy. It's nice to meet you" I introduced.
She looked a little shocked. She atleast had to introduce herself three or four times before someone actually figures it out. Well in my point of view. I gently stroke her mane, which she surprisingly enjoys. After receiving diabeetus from the introduction I stood up to see if twilight successfully broke up the fight. She did indeed break it up as all five ponies started to laugh and giggle with each other. I then tell fluttershy to re-join the group as I go upstairs to get some stuff for them. She agrees and put the stuffed bunny on her back and trotted towards the gang.
I quickly ran upstairs into my bedroom, slam the door shut, and ran towards my bed. "Am I dreaming? This is too good to be true! Well if it is a dream might as well make the most of it." I composed myself and then started to backtrack.
"Okay… the power is back on; the storm is still coming back, and now I've got six little ponies in my house, what now?" I'm starting to get nervoucited. (a word that pinkie made up, meaning nervous and excited for those who don't get the reference)
As I was pondering, the mother of all thunderclaps and the most intense of lighting strikes suddenly engulfs the whole sky for a split second, harshly snapping me out of my trance. the mix Temporarily blinded me and made my ears ring slightly, the air around me was silent as the sound of ringing can be heard, I also did hear is the screaming of the terrified little fillies downstairs. With my brotherly instincts kicking in, I rush downstairs, while I quickly stepped down the stairs, I misstep on one of the flights and started toppling down the stairs. "OW!" I exclaimed as I rubbed my head. I quickly ignored the pain knowing that the girls are being frightened by the un-godly storm which made me stand up as the loud thunderclaps scared the defenseless girls. I then see all of them screaming and running around the place while fluttershy is curled up into a little fluffy ball with a tight grip on angel in the middle of the living room. Pinkie and rarity were screaming and hugging each other while applejack, twilight, and rainbow dash hid under the couch and cowering.
Oh and did I forget to tell you that the thunderclap switched off the circuit breakers. So the only way I could see them is the flickering of the candle flames I forgot to extinguish earlier. I sigh in relief that they are not hurt in any way at all as I walk towards the living room.
Fluttershy then saw me and quickly galloped my way and held onto me and her bunny at the same time. The others seem to notice me as well and all at once galloped towards me while rainbow flew towards me. Even though I am 3 times bigger than all of them combined, they still pounced me towards the floor and started to shake.
'I've got an idea!'
after I recovered from the fall, I picked all of them up with both arms and started towards my parent's room. I found and lit up more candles in the room and found some of my sister's stuffed animals which was just lying around the place as I gave each pony one animal. They all cuddled with each other and their new stuffed buddies as I check outside the bedroom window.
"The storm just got worse." I said grimly "the streets are completely flooded and now the street lights are not working." I explained to twilight as she hovered next to me.
she then flew right in front of my face and looked at me with a puppy face.
"You'll protect us… won't you?" she asked with a pout.
I then see the other five ponies approach me with the same puppy face as twilight. I look at all of them each in their sparkling eyes etched with the same face as twilight.
It's funny really. They've only known me for a short time yet they all trust me with their lives. As twilight landed next to her friends, they all look at me; I see in their eyes that they need someone to take care of them, someone to play with, and to be… loved.
I knelt down and spread my arms out wide welcoming them for an embrace. They all obliged and ran up to me and I firmly embraced all of them.
"I'll protect you girls… no matter what" I said almost shedding a tear while they nuzzle my chest and wetting my shirt with their tears of joy.
After the embrace, I put them back on the king sized bed while they all snuggled together under the blanket. One by one they all yawned slowly closing their eyes.
Now I think its safe to say the storm died down. I blow out the candles and tip toed out of the room and slowly close the door. I sighed.
"Now it's time for me to pass out" I yawned.
I was too sluggish and exhausted to climb the stairs. "I'll just crash in the couch tonight." I plopped on the couch and just as quick I was snapped wide awake by the questions I brushed off and whipped back at me.
Why are they here?
Who sent them here?
Does equestria know they are missing?
Does celestia know?
I grabbed my head in frustration."screw it! I'm just going crazy over the fact that I have to spend my summer in a run down, low budget, crappy school filled with idiots!" I loudly monologued to myself as my mind is screaming with random thoughts.
After a few minutes of trying to purge my head of questions I finally drift off to sleep until….
RIIIING RIIING
I was completely startled.
RIIIING RIIING
"oh my god, who out of all people would call me at this hour!?"
I groggily walked up to the phone and answered it.
"Hello?"
The phone was silent for a few moments until a female voice was heard.
"thank you for taking care of them." *hangs up*
I didn't have an initial reaction to this, Just a wide eyed expression staring off into the white noise. I hung up the phone and started to limp to my couch. As soon fell down on the couch, which instantly knocked me out for the night.
