british ways: Thank you for the review! I'm sorry that the chapters are rather short, but I'm just trying to get into the swing of things and introduce as much of Butterscotch's character as possible. Lol yeah, PMD reference. :P I never really knew exactly how humans got into Equestria, but this is how I imagined it.
Anyway, enjoy this chapter!
Chapter One
"Home Coming"
Where am I?
Am I dreaming this?
I feel a pleasant breeze…is that a voice from somewhere? I wonder who it is?
"…Excuse me." The voice said rather timidly at first. "…Please, wake up. Come on, wake up." I wriggled in a place a bit before opening my eyes to a brightly lit world. I looked around from my position on the ground to and everywhere I looked I saw bright vibrant colors. Where…was I?
I slowly rose about to come up to full height until I met the eyes of-
"You're finally awake! Great!" Is that…is that a unicorn? A PURPLE UNICORN! Wh-where is this…? With each passing glance my confusion grew. I looked behind me to see a dense evil looking forest. Rather out of place for this type of happy-go-lucky environment. "I found you passed out here. I'm glad you came to!"
There was that voice again. Now I was sure it wasn't in my head. I looked around once more and found the owner of said voice, the previous purple unicorn. I shuffled a few steps back, more startled by the fact that the unicorn was purple rather then being a unicorn. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. Happy to meet you!" The unicorn, or rather, Twilight Sparkle, smiled warmly. She could just cozy up to a completely stranger like that? How did she know I wasn't dangerous? I watched as her smile changed to a look of confusion. "…And you are? I don't think I've seen you around before."
"You've never seen me around before because I'm a human!" I shouted making a lot of unnecessary motions in the process. For some strange reason I felt it difficult stand and it felt like my center of gravity was had somehow changed from when I was human. Twilight's confusion deepened. "Huh? Did you say human?" I could tell she had not the slightest idea what a human was as she scrunched up her face, possibly trying to wrack her brain for an answer. "But you look like a normal pegasus pony from every angle."
At last, I looked at my body. Hooves? An elongated nose? Four legs and wings? A rump this size! This Twilight Sparkle person…er…pony was right? I somehow had become a pegasus pony, but why? I don't remember anything….
I continued checking myself out. A lean, non-muscular frame covered in a thin yet ruffled layer of brown fur or hair…or, whatever it was! I noticed my tail waging lightly to the rhythm of the breeze. It had varying shades of grey going back in the pattern of stripes, same as my mane. Both were rather spiky, like my human hair…as far as I remember. "Um…you're kind of weird…" Twilight said gaining my undivided attention once more. "Your name? What's your name?" My name? That's right, my name is… I was about to say my name, but something strange happened. It was as if the words in my mouth somehow got rearranged and I ended up saying something else instead. "Butterscotch!" I shouted. I had quickly shoved one of my hooves in my mouth surprised at what I had said. "Okay. You're named Butterscotch? Well…" Even I wasn't prepared for what would happen next. "Isn't it a funny name!" Twilight burst into laughter even going so far as to hold her stomach like she was over come by pain. I puffed my cheeks out in anger. Why in the world did I say 'Butterscotch?'
"So, what are you going to do? Do you have any plans?" She said taking a serious note. I was silent, but grew a grim look. Now that I thought about it, I was new here and had no way support myself or even a place to go. I wasn't even sure of where I was right now…pretty pathetic. "…Listen, Butterscotch." I waited, expecting her to at least give another giggle towards my name, but she didn't or maybe she simply held it in, I couldn't tell. "If you don't have any place to stay, you should come with me." I watched as Twilight turned around and walked away with me and my curiosity in tow.
She soon led my to a humble looking plot of land. Lonely and almost abandoned, but humble nonetheless. It was boxed off with hedges cut into the shape of cubes, so I suppose somepony was maintaining it. Did I just say, 'somepony?" The house, if I could even call it that, was a rather small like dome structure, almost like it only had a room or two. Yet, I felt a rather simplistic joy to have this as my living quarters. I could feel Twilight watching me and the end of my monochromatic tail waging and she smiled largely.
"Oh, Butterscotch. You're impressed aren't you?" Twilight said with a rather cocky smile on her face. "I thought so. I thought this would make a good place for you to live, Butterscotch. I was sure you would like it." Her previously cocky smile was once again replaced with one of sincerity as she watched my own smile grow more and more.
This is an old house that nopony ever uses anymore. So I'm sure that nopony will mind you living here temporarily." She explained. I started my way through the area slowly closing in on the arch-shaped opening. Wait, no door? I was pushed out of my thoughts once I heard rustling, it was Twilight. She started her way down the path, which looked like it led into town.
"Once your all settled in come find me in the Ponyville Library, okay." She pointed to the small and quaint little village only about a mile away. "If you get lost, just ask some of the ponies that live here, I'm sure they'll be glad to led a helping hoof. Don't be afraid to ask" She gave me a quick smile before trotting off and I turned my attention back to my new home.
And that is how…
Twilight and Butterscotch, began their friendship together…
That would change the world and themselves forever.
