As the cyan pegasus walked closer to a weird, tree-house? The sign in front said 'Public library'. I thought to myself "Is it really a good idea to follow this rainbow pegasus after she attacked me?" Just then I stopped in place and said " Hey Pegasus lady" to get her attention.
She retorted with "I have a name ugly monkey, and it's Rainbow Dash," she said with a proud look on her face.
I waved my hand like I was swatting a fly away from my face, " regardless, I changed my mind." I said turning around "See ya Rainbow Dash." and smiled coldly at her.
She looked shocked but happy at the same time, " Then just get out of the town monkey, nopony wants you here." she said just as cold.
"Hahahaha!" I laughed at her statement like a cruel joke, " Why should I care? You can just stay away if in you don't like me." I said walking away. She yelled somethingat me but I didn't hear her.
I looked up and noticed that some of the pegasi were moving the clouds around, " hmm this is interesting." I thought " maybe they have some sort of ambient magic that lets them control the weather". I started to laugh again getting weird looks from ponies who were still out. " Heh, that'd be really dumb, ah well, looks like they're forming a storm cloud so I might as well get in some shelter." I said . I like the rain more than most people or apparently ponies, but I knew if I stayed out during it I'd get sick, like I had before.
"Hey Jason!" I heard Eos call at me. I turned around to see her flying to me and a smile formed on my face.
" What's up Eos?" I asked when she got close enough.
"You don't have a place to stay right?" She questioned excitedly. I replied with a shake of my head, to which her eyes seemed to glimmer even more, " Ms. Taylor said you can come stay with us for a wile!" she said hopping.
"Well that's convenient" I said looking up as a few drops of rain started to fall.
Too convenient the voice said, and for once I agreed, but ignored it since it was already starting to rain. "Alright which way Eos" I said picking her up and covering her from the rain with my jacket.
She pointed past a weird house that looked like a ginger bread house, " That way!" she said gleefully, happy to be resting a little.
As I took off I heard Rainbow Dash yelling at me again, "Hey! What are you doing with that filly!" I turned around to see an angry Pegasus staring holes into me.
"I'm taking her back to her house so she doesn't get sick, so if you'll excuse me, I'll be on my way." I said turning around and jogging over in the direction of were Eos pointed, but stopped as she landed in front of me.
"A likely story, but I don't care what you say, put her down, now." She said forcefully.
I sighed in annoyance, " Hey! I invited him over so he wouldn't get sick sot bug off." Eos almost screamed at her. But I put her down and draped my jacket over her, " It's fine Eos, give Ms. Taylor my thanks," I said guessing that was her foster parent's name, " I'll have to refuse the offer this time though, I'll be fine though don't worry," I looked up at Rainbow Dash, "Am I allowed to make sure she gets home alright?" I asked calmly. To which she rolled her eyes and said " Fine but I'm coming too, to make sure you don't try to eat her or something."
At this I laughed to myself, " Ponies aren't part of my diet so no worries there, but be my guest."
Eos sighed, and started walking home as I followed, and Dash followed me. She looked behind and whispered, " What's her problem? And why are you being so kind when she's just being mean?".
I chuckled and said, " we had a bad run in a little bit ago." Then I scratched my chin that had a small beard forming on it, "Have you ever heard of the 'Golden Rule'?" I asked.
She looked at me funny and shook her head.
"Well the golden rule states that we should treat others how we wish to be treated, true Rainbow Dash is being rather mean, but it's not without purpose, I wasn't very nice a little bit ago when we first met," I said, leaving out the part of her attacking me, " I'm just being as kind as I can so that she might catch on that I'm not so bad and treat me a little better maybe." to this I heard I snicker behind me, but I ignored it, " it's better to make enemies into people that don't mind you as much and at least kind of trust you."
"Like acquaintances?" she asked, and I nodded " I have a lot of those," she said looking down, " But no friends."
I chuckled, looking at her with a fake hurt look on my face " what am I chopped liver?" I said in a hurt tone of voice. We both got a good laugh out of that.
"There it is!" Eos exclaimed, breaking into a fast trot, making me run after her. By now it was pouring good, but I didn't mind, I like the rain,. I turned around and saw Dash looking up into the sky with a grin on her face, I chuckled to myself, "guess she's a rain pony" I thought to myself, she looked down at me and I turned away.
I walked up to the house which was unlocked, " ponies they're pretty trusting huh? Well except Dash." I thought, opening the door for Eos. After our goodbyes, and me getting my jacket back which I put back on, she went inside and I shut the door.
"Good enough for you?" I said to Dash who was hovering above the ground.
She grunted " Yea good enough, but I'm still watching you bub." she said looking at me with one eye.
I chuckled," Yea no worries , I'll be good" I said with a fake bow as she flew off. I sighed as the clouds started to clear up, " Too bad I was just starting to get used to it." I said as I walked away from the house.
The sun was setting by now so I started to look for somewhere to sleep. Finding nothing else I just lied down on a park bench I found, " well this is gonna be a long night" I said as a chilly breeze blew over me my soaked clothes were freezing by now. The only thing keeping me from getting hypothermia, was the jacket that wasn't soaked all the way through.
"Oh my! Darling you can't be thinking of sleeping there, you'll get sick!" I heard a very posh voice behind me.
I sat up looking over seeing a unicorn with a velvet colored mane that looked as if it had been brushed a thousand times. "Ah, my apologies m'lady, but I have no where to sleep and nothing to pay the tavern keepers with, so I'm stuck here," I said getting up and giving her a short bow.
"Oh my! What happened to your clothes? They're soaked! You'll get hypothermia!" she said gasping, " And you have nowhere to say? Come with me darling! You can sleep at my house tonight." I started to protest but she silenced them, " I won't accept no for an answer! You're coming with me!" she said and her horn started to glow with a silver light surrounding it.
Seeing this light form around my body I thought "crap what she going to do now? Carry me there?"
Probably moron, I heard the voice say, maybe you can get some nice pony tonight. I heard it chuckle.
"You're disgusting!" I thought as I started to be lifted in the air. I started " Now ma'm you don't need to do this, I can go on my own if you're that adamant about it." The light around me disappeared and I proceeded to fall on my head, "Alright follow me darling I heard her say".
It was about four in the morning when I woke up, I remembered last night and how this generous pony who's name I found out was Rarity. I got up off of the couch I slept on, "she's done so much for me, this pony doesn't even know what race I am and she did this willingly. Wow…" I said to myself quietly.
After I got dressed in the clothes she had washed for me, I folded the covers I used and put it on the couch. On top of it I wrote a little note for her 'Thank you for everything you've done for me' it read. I sighed and walked out of her front door making sure not to wake the sleeping angel inside, or at least that's how I thought of her.
" Must of been a gift from God onto this land" I said to myself.
Yea she was nice, I wonder what she wanted in return… the voice said.
" That's a good point, but if she needs me she'll find me, somehow." I said back and walked away from the boutique.
