(Torian`s Dream Realm)
It was 8 years ago, in my old home near the Pacific Ocean in San Francisco, California. It was beginning to get dark, I was in the kitchen with my drunken ass mother and she began to get upset for no reason as I urged for her to return to bed.
"Mother, your too drunk to go driving please go back to bed." I begged taking away her beer bottle.
"Nonono I`m the goddamn mother and listen to what I say or you get punished." My Mother argued with me.
"You may be the mother, but at least I`m sane." I retorted back at her.
At this point she lost it and went for a large kitchen knife.
"Whoa whoa whoa Mother please put the knife back and talk about thisGAH." I pleaded but was forced against the wall.
"SHUT UP BITCH, YOUR GETTING PUNISH FOR TALKING BACK TO ME!" My mother shouted.
"Nonononononono please mother stop you wouldn`t hurt your own son would you?" I said out of pure terror.
"I would and I never even liked you, your lucky your dad was there to protect you, otherwise you wouldn`t be here. You`d be out on the streets abandoned and alone." My mother said evilly and slashed me on the left eye leaving behind the permanent scar that is across my face.
I quickly stepped on her foot and shot a left hook at her jaw, knocking her out. I quickly ran out the house, which I began aging quickly til I was 18 and reached a dock with my Dad and his boat.
"Dad.. DAD." I shouted happily as I ran towards him.
I reached out for a hug, but I phased right through him, looking back he spoke to me at his final words before he vanished.
"I will be back before your 19th birthday, thats a promise and I love you son." He said in a happy tone.
It brought tears to my eyes to hear him again, but began fading away.
"Dad nonono please come back please I can`t live without you Dad.. DAD!" I begged for his return, but he vanished.
I was beginning to cry until I heard footsteps at the end of the dock, It was my mother with an evil look and a twisted smile.
"Time to finsh what I started." Mother said and began running at me with an evil laugh.
"No stop mother Noooo..." I shouted and turned into an echo.
(Fluttershy`s Cottage)
"Noooooooo" I screamed and began panting heavily with old sweat down my face.
I looked around and saw I was in Fluttershy`s cottage. I looked over to see Fluttershy facing me, sleeping peacefully. I was gllad she wasn`t awake to see if I was alright because I did not want to fighten her. I laid back into bed and tried to drift off to sleep.
The next morning I decided to not become a freeloader and decide to get a job, I got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Not long before Fluttershy woke up I heard her from the bathroom and she sounded worried.
"Torian... Torian?" Fluttershy said beginnig to worry.
I quickly walked back into the bedroom to calm the timid pegasus from her fright.
" Hey Fluttershy, Its alright I`m here, What did you need?" I asked as she began to calm down.
"Oh umm sorry, I was scared when you weren`t here and I got a bit worried you left me." Fluttershy said a bit embarrassed and relieved.
"Don`t worry I`m here now so there is no need to fret." I said with a reassuring tone and stoked her pink mane. It felt like touching rose petals and was very smooth. Realizing what I was doing I quickly retracted my hand and blushed from embarrassment.
"Ohh dear me I`m so sorry, it just your mane was smooth and I-I`m soo sorry." I apologized.
Fluttershy blushed a bit and responded "Oh its OK, I`m going to the Bathroom to get ready. Can you feed my animals for me please ... If you want to of course." Fluttershy asked.
"I would be delighted." I answered.
Fluttershy went to freshen up in the bathroom while I went downstairs to feed the animals breakfast.
(Fluttershy`s POV)
I was in the bathroom staring at the mirror trying to convince myself on how to tell Torian how I felt.
"Come on Fluttershy, You can do this, You can tell him how you feel. All I need to say is "Torian, I want to tell you that I..um" arg "I want to tell you that I..ah" Fluttershy said having a hard time trying to convey her feelings.
"Why is this so hard?" Fluttershy pouted then an idea occurred in her mind.
"I will ask my friends to help me, they always give good advice, except for Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said and walked out the bathroom to see how Torian was doing.
(Torian`s POV)
I had fed all the animals their food and began cooking eggs, waffles and freshly squeezed apple juice. Fluttershy came downstairs and sniffed the breakfast aroma in the air.
"Hey Fluttershy, hungery for waffles, eggs and Apple juice?" I asked setting the table.
"Oh yes please, it smells delicious." Fluttershy replied happily as I put 2 plates full of delicious breakfasty goodness.
Once breakfast concluded and the dishes washed and put away, I wanted to tell Fluttershy about my plans for the day, So I don`t worry her too much.
"Hey Fluttershy, I`m going job hunting, but if you want, we can meet at the cafe at noon?" I asked.
"I would love to join you for lunch." Fluttershy replied happily
"Alright see you at noon." I said grabbing my guitar and went out the door.
Walking through Ponyville, I began wondering what jobs might suite me. I was lost in thought until I ran into Applejack.
"Oh sorry didn`t see you there." I apologized.
"Don`t worry about it, sugarcube what are you up to?" Applejack asked.
"Well I`m job hunting to earn some bits." I replied. "What about you?"
"Its Applebuck season and me and mah brother must buck every Apple in the western orchard, we can always use a hoof at the farm, if your interested." Applejack offered.
I thought about working on the farm, and the thought of all the physical work i need to do I decided no on the spot but I didn`t want to sound rude.
"Thanks for the offer Applejack, but I will have to decline." I said sincerely.
"Alrightly then Torian, But come by for a visit soon alright?" Applejack said with sincerer in her voice.
"Alright bye A.J" I said and left to continue our search for a job.
As I strolled through Ponyville, I ran into another pony who was a white unicorn with electric blue mane and tail, an tied eighth note cutie mark, and wore purple sunglasses.
"Hello Miss, how are you?" I asked politely.
"Hey, your the new human in town right?" the unicorn asked.
"Yes, I`m Torian Scotterian, and you are?" I asked.
"I`m Vinyl Scratch or my stage name DJ-PON3." Vinyl replied
Vinyl then noticed the guitar on my back and gave a questionable look.
"Hey do you play guitar?" Vinyl asked.
"Oh I do." I answered as I revealed my Ibanez AFD75T Artcore Electric guitar.
"Thats cool hey head follow me to my shop and play me something if your not busy or anything." Vinyl said with hopes i`m not busy.
"Sure Vinyl, lead on." I said and Vinyl lead me to her music shop.
At the shop, there were a lot of amps, turntables, instruments, speakers and other equipment. it looked like a nice place to grab some nice equipment for my guitar.
"So Torian, do you know any solos on that sweet guitar of yours?" Vinyl asked with hope.
"I do but let me get set." I said as i plugged in my guitar in an amp and tuned it to make the right notes. After everything was ready I called out "Are you ready Vinyl?"
"Yeah hit me with your best shot." Vinyl shouted back and I began to play.
(Play La Cancion del Pirata by Tierra Santa and skip to 2:08 and let it play til 2:40)
After the solo ended, Vinyl was surprised at my ability to play such a solo and I knew this was a place I would love to work at.
"Hey Vinyl, Are you hiring?" I asked with my hopes held high.
"Yeah man, I`ve been looking for another pony to help me out at the store and your hired for that awesome performance." Vinyl said.
"Thanks Vinyl, I`ve been looking for a job and I`m glad I ran into you." I said happily
"We also have concerts going on in Ponyville and you get paid extra." Vinyl said and with that sweet deal, I`m going to enjoy this job. After what felt like hours, Vinyl and I had finish talking about the types of music we like and getting to know each other. Then I looked at my pocketwatch and saw that it was 5 minutes to 12:00.
"Well Vinyl, its been fun hanging out but I`ve got to head out to lunch, I`ll see you tomorrow." I said as I left.
"Alright, remember the concert is at 8:00 pm in 2 days." Vinyl reminded me as I left.
"Will do." I said cheerfully as I went to the cafe.
At the Cafe, I saw Fluttershy outside the cafe and was eager to have a relaxing lunch with her.
(Fluttershy`s POV)
After Torian left, I ran through my mind, deciding which of my friends would be the best help in my love situation. Pinkie Pie won`t take it seriously, Rainbow Dash wouldn`t care, and Applejack was too busy with Applebuck season. With 2 friends who can help me I flew over to Twilight`s Library. I knocked on the door and Twilight answered.
"Oh hey Fluttershy, need anything?" Twlight asked eager to help her friend.
"Oh hi Twilight, I was wondering um if you could um give me some advice?" I asked with my shyness looming over me.
"Sure, come on in." Twilight said as she moved aside to let me in.
We sat in the reading area where Twilight does her studying.
"So, what do you need help with?" Twilight asked ready to help.
"OK um t-there is this ... boy, I mean stallion, I mean.. somepony I ...like ... but, um I don`t have the courage to tell him, What would be a good way to... confess my feelings to him?" I said and was really embarrassed.
Twilight looked really surprised and I think I may have caught her off guard and said "Well... um .. I think the best way is to ah."
At that moment Rarity entered the room and asked. "Twilight, Darling do you have any books about rare gems and.. Whats going on in here?"
"Fluttershy has a crush on somepony and asked me for advice, but I`ve never been the romantic type." Twilight said as I hid behind my mane to hide my embarrassing blush.
"Fluttershy has found love, Well I`ll be more than happy to help while you find a book that has rare gems for my new dress for Sapphire Shores." Rarity said as Twilight left.
"Now Fluttershy, What do you need advice for?" Rarity asked.
I was really embarrassed and shy to tell, she really wanted to help me so I decided to tell her what my problem was.
"Well Rarity, there is this ... boy, I mean somepony I .. like.. but I don`t have the courage to tell him, What would be a good way to... confess my feeling?"
Rarity simply smiled and said "Darling, you could just write him a love letter."
"A.. l-love letter? A lve letter of course, Thanks Rarity!" I said happily and flew to my cottage.
"Your welcome.. dear?" Rarity said before realizing I left.
At the cottage I began writing my letter to Torian, I released all my feelings and emotions toward the letter, But i kept thinking it wasn`t good enough and threw in the waste basket, what felt like minutes I looked at the clock and saw it was 11:50am. I quickly flew to the cafe only to realize he was`t here yet and I still had about 5 minutes to spare.
(Torian`s POV)
Over Lunch, Fluttershy began staring at me and blushing and every time I look at her she turns away from me and hiding behind her mane. I decided to break the silence.
"So Fluttershy, How was your morning?" I asked.
Fluttershy looked at me and replied. "It was nice, I had a little help from my friends, Did you find a job?"
"I did indeed, I work with Vinyl in the music store near the center of town." I responded.
"Thats wonderful, I heard Vinyl is playing at a concert tomorrow, Are you going to be in it?" the timid mare asked.
"I`am and I have a few songs planned." I said like I knew what to play.
"I can`t wait for me and our friends to hear them." Fluttershy said happily.
After lunch concluded, I decided to stroll through town and meet Fluttershy at the house before dinner at 5:00. After an hour, I sat under a tree and passed out for who-knows-how-long, Untill I felt light thumping on my right arm. My vision focused on the little white rabbit named Angel.
"Why is Angel here and how long was I out?" I asked myself and looked at my pocketwatch and saw that it was 4:30. I left the cafe at 1:30 and strolled for an hour so that meant I was asleep for 2 hours. I then realized that Angel was holding a scroll in his mouth.
"Is that scroll for me?" I asked the white bunny who appeared to respond by nodding his head.
I grabbed the scroll from him, unwrapped it and read what the message said.
"To my Torian,
I can`t express myself in front of you because of my embarrassment and shyness, But please know that whenever I`m around you I feel like I`m standing on a cloud of little butterflies and when I hear your voice, it sounds like Angel`s singing. Your so good with animals, never judged anypony, and you are always so much fun to be around and talk to. You were patient with me and I never want to imagine a life without you waking up beside me each morning. Don`t hate me when I say that I love you and I hope we could be more than friends.
With love, Fluttershy.
After reading this, I was almost in tears to finally understand why Fluttershy stares at me with her beautiful teal eyes, she`s in love with me. I petted Angel and asked.
"Angel, did you do this because she was so scared that I might turn her down." Angel nodded in agreement. With the sun beginning to set, I walked over to Fluttershy`s cottage with Angel on my head.
I reached the cottage to hear the shy mare looking for something, with this opportunity, I was able to slip inside quietly and hear what she was looking for.
"Where is it? I know after I was done writing, it was sitting on the desk? Maybe it got to him and epp!" Fluttershy said before she let out an adorable squeak. She regained he posture and asked.
"Hello, Torian how was your afternoon?"
"It was good, I had some good exercise, rested a little and read an interesting letter." I sad and pulled out her missing love letter.
Fluttershy gasped and asked "Y-You r-read it?"
"I did and I must say, I`m flattered you feel this way." I said still flattered.
Fluttershy was afraid but asked. "So your not m-mad or offended?"
"Why would I be mad or offended at something so beautiful?" I said then I knelled down on one knee and kissed the mare on her cheek and stroked her mane. "I would love to go out with you Fluttershy." I said.
Fluttershy blushed heavily at the kiss and was happy that I became her stallion friend.
"R-Really?" The shy mare asked.
"Indeed." I said before I was tackled by the little pegasus in a soft cuddly hug.
"Thank you." she said with her eyes closed and enjoying our embrace while Luna`s moon began to illuminate the sky.
There we have it, A romance chapter and next will be the first villain`s chapter that may be longer. Now I also want to say that I will be leaving for a family reunion this Friday and could be out for about 2 weeks. Now don`t worry, I will have a PC with me so I can keep writing the story. With that said the villain in the next chapter is a villain who didn`t receive as much screen time as the others did and the person who guesses the villain first will get a cookie! This is Admiral signing out. Dismissed.
