A/N: Hey everypony! this is the next chapter to P.C.I.E, in short. As always rate, review, and enjoy.
Chapter 2: It just gets weirder
I began to open my eyes again, I felt like I had deja vu, only I had a huge growing, thumping pain on the top of my head. I got myself to sit up, cussing out from whatever hit my.
"I swear to every god there is, I'm not having anything more knocking me out!" I shouted. I looked left then right to try to figure out what hit me, while my hands were holding my head from the hit. When my head pivoted to the right I saw an odd item. It was a mail bag, letters were all over the ground around it, about to be blown away by the wind. I was able to grab all the letters before they were tossed away, and set them under my butt. I grabbed the mail bag, from wherever the heck it came from and grabbed the letters to put them back in. I was not a really curious person when it came to mail, but I took a glance and it surprised the fuck out of me. The name the person it was going to was...Twilight Sparkle!?
I rubbed my eyes with my right hand, seeing if I am hallucinating, but I wasn't. "Ok that bump in the head must have made me lose brain cells, damn." I said, still trying to figure out what's going on. I got myself up again, and looked up, there was nothing. Where did this bag come from? I guess I'll deliver these? I put all the letters in the bag and put the bag on my shoulder. I was now finally walking, whatever direction. By what the sun is telling me, north, but who knows if logic even exists in this world. I was going to put on my beats and listen to a nice, minecraft-like journey music when someone just shouted out of no where.
"Watch out!" I looked behind me to find a grayish blur coming towards me. I flinched and jumped to the side, the person, just zooming past me and hitting into a tree.
"Oh shit," I mumbled to myself and started to run over to the person...wait what! Actually I couldn't tell at first who it was, but now that I am looking, I saw just the backside of a pony. This can't be happening right now...its just not possible, is it? Oh well screw my thoughts, I started to run again to the, mare, stallion, whoever to help them out of the tree.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, now getting close to the pony. His or her back hooves were wiggling to try to get themselves free, which was futile in my opinion.
"Yeah, I hate when this happens," it said in a sad mood.
"Here let me help you, miss…?"
"Its Derpy...Derpy Hooves," I almost physically slapped myself and given my self a face-hoof, I looked over to the side of her flank then none other than see bubbles. Duh Anthony, it explains it all you dumb dumb. I grabbed onto her side and pulled as hard as I could. It took all my strength, but she finally came out of the tree hole with a "pop" noise. I fell down again, only this time not really that hard, but the mare landed on top of my chest, so much deja vu! Her tail was in my face, completely suffocating me with her blonde hairs. At least she smelled nice though, but I would have rather be not suffocating. She quickly got herself off of me after finally noticing I couldn't breath by my arms flailing around.
"S-sorry," she said and quickly got up.
"Its...okay," I managed to say, barely...I was trying the let myself breath in as much air as I could. Once she got a look at me on the ground, a huge amount of shock came to her face."
"What are you?" she asked hesitantly, still figuring out what I am. I sat myself to look at the mare in question. Indeed it was Derpy with her cooky but very pretty yellow eyes. I always liked her for being clumsy, even though now I understand why people don't admire her.
"My name is Anthony, and my race is human," I answered her, both or our eyes staring at one another.
"A-are you…*gulp*...nice," she said slowly. Figuring out if I was hostile or not so she can fly the fuck out of here.
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be." I said giving her a smile. The smile seemed to ease her tension, but she still didn't buy it.
"Why are you so big?" she asked quietly.
"Oh, I am a bit higher than average for my race's height, but I assure you I am the nicest human you could meet, promise." I kept my beaming smile just for her, which she then began to smile back. "Oh did you lose this?" I showed her the mail bag.
"Oh my thank you mister, I am so clumsy." she said again sadly, taking the bag out of my hands.
"Hey...everybody is a little clumsy, if it makes you feel any better, I think you have gorgeous eyes." I knew this was going to earn me brownie points. I guess all that learning about Equestria will actually come in handy. There was a light blush on her grey cheeks, clearly becoming flustered by my kind words. She couldn't help but look down at the ground now, kicking the dirt around trying to get rid of her blush. I just thought it was really funny, I think Derpy herself is funny.
"So think you could tell me where I am Derpy?"
"huh...oh yeah," she began to get over her flush and looked back at me again. "This is somewhere outside of Ponyville, and you are in a land called Equestria. If you don't mind me asking mister, how did you get here?"
"You can just call me Anthony, and tell you the truth I have no idea, I was just minding my own business back in my world when something sucked me in and bam, I am here. Think you could show me the way to Ponyville?"
"I am on my way there mist…er I mean Anthony, you can come with me if you want?"
"Yeah, it would be nice to have someone to talk to, maybe get acquainted with this new world," even though I know everything lol. And so began the journey...wait what? Nah who puts that in a story thats dumb.
"Oh yeah…" she then opened the mail bag and looked around with her hooves for something. "Aha!" she said excitingly and took out what looked like a muffin. "Muffin?" she said in such a happy and cute voice it almost made me pass out.
"As long as you have one to, then yeah...I am kinda hungry." I said while rubbing my belly. She hoofed one over to me and I accepted it, grabbing it with my fingers and started to take a bite. I swear these were the best damn muffins I will ever taste in my life, they must have been blueberry ones to, my favorite.
"Wow these are really good, who made them?" I asked in curiosity.
"I did…" she said embarrassed from such the great comment. She then grabbed her muffin and ate the whole thing in one big bite, making her awe afterward from the flavor.
"You are really good at baking Derpy," I said with a mouthful of muffin, the last bite to."
"Well its the only thing I know how to cook really," she said. "And I LOVE muffins," she said putting emphasis on love. You must have a muffin fetish. The thought made me chuckle, both on the inside and out, almost making me choke on the last bite.
"So shall we?" she nodded and we both walked together, towards south, the complete opposite direction I was going to take, in a way, she was a blessing to come and knock me down.
"What are those things that use to grab stuff, they are not hooves?"
"Oh these are hands, they can be used to grab things and make are lives much easier. All humans have hands and feet." the walk had been peaceful, mostly Derpy asking me a load of questions, like what humans are like, what do they eat, and if they have muffins to. She was kinda scared when I said we ate meat, cause ponies are clearly herbivorous, but she told me there were griffons and minotaurs and dragons who ate meat.
"So what do you do Derpy, are you the mail...mare?"
"Yep, I am the mail mare who delivers mail to all the ponies in Ponyville, through rain or shine." she said proudly, trying to straighten herself up to gain some height and act cool, but when she did, Derpy lost her footing and fell. Thankfully for instincts that Rainbow had given me last year, I was able to catch her before she fell face first.
"Thanks...you see what I mean though, I am just a klutzy mare just waiting to cause accidents." she then said, making herself become depressed. I felt bad for her, her life must be hard being the one to be clumsy, and being a mail mare wasn't the best job you could have.
"All I see is a wonderful mare helping out a dumbfounded human and being generous and kind to him." I said, even feeling happy for myself for my words. My praise had her happy smile come back to life. I looked back up towards the way we were walking, I could now start to see a stream, probably the one that runs near Ponyville. We started to walk again.
"So...do you have any kids?"
"yeah, her name is Dinky, she is the cutest sweetest little filly you will ever meet!" she said excitedly, probably being ready to see her.
"Who is the lucky dad?" I asked quizzically. She then stopped...just stopped her trotting. I kept walking until I noticed she stopped and looked back. I think she was hitting flashbacks. I thought for a second and then physically slapped myself so hard, Derpy probably heard it but was to focused on what I said. You dumb fuck, you just brought bad memories to her, I am so fucking stupid. I must have slapped myself at least five or six times before my hand and my cheek started to hurt. I looked back over to her, she had a tear in her eye. It looked like she was just going to fall crying there.
I ran to her, but I was to late. The cross-eyed mare fell to the ground weeping. I sat myself down the weeping mare, giving her a comforting hug.
"I am so sorry Derpy, I didn't know…" I quietly said in her ear. She was still sobbing...and sobbing...and oh god. I just stayed there, hugging her for comfort, trying to help her. You are so dumb Anthony! Oh Celestia what have I done!
"Mom! I'm home from school."
"Dinky! How was school honey muffin?" I said coming out from the kitchen. I looked at my daughter, her eyes filled with joy.
"Guess what mom, guess what?!"
"What is it dinky?" Even I am getting excited from her being happy.
"We are going to do a school field-trip!"
"Thats great my little muffin," I said while ruffing her mane, she always liked when I did that.
"But…" she then paused, what is she going to say. I was starting to see her emotions turn from happy to sad like a bolt of lightning. "But when they asked me that I needed two signatures one from my mommy and one from…" she began to sniffle. I myself started to tear up.
"Come here Dinky," she came up to me and I gave her a hug while she cried in my neck.
"Where is he mommy?" she said crying.
"I don't know muffin, I don't know…" I started to cry, as those memories were coming back again.
"When will you be back, I asked my husband?"
"Soon...soon…" he said quickly and left. He just left us Dinky he just left us!
" *Sniff* you didn't know…" she said so quietly through her sobs I could barely hear her. And so this continued...for a long time…
