"George! Where have you been? And how did I get here?" She asked as she kept her head on my chest, but looked up at me.
"That's a bit difficult to explain", I laughed as I wrapped my arms around her.
It look Lucy a little while to notice the Princess, her reaction was something I was expecting as well.
"Wow... that's one tall horse!" Lucy said as she looked up at the Princess.
"Hello, my name is Princess Celestia", the Princess introduced herself as Lucy's mouth dropped open as expected.
"Talking horse!" She exclaimed.
"Lucy, calm down", I laughed a little as I stroked the top of her head to try and calm her down.
After what seemed to be an entire hour of back and forth explaining on how I got here and how she herself got into this world. I left the explaining of Celestia being a talking horse and all. Not surprising at all, Lucy managed to accept all of this, and resumed to act the way she usually does. Though it would appear that she still haven't notice that I was in a wheelchair this entire time.
"George... can you tell me why you broke up with me?" Lucy asked as she kept her arms around me.
"Lucy... the only person who knows is my sister, and I don't think I should tell anyone else", I sighed as Princess Celestia watched over the two of us, we were still on the ground.
"Did you even love me?" She asked quite bluntly.
"Lucy! Of course I love you... it's just that I broke up with you for your own good... I know how easily you get emotionally hurt from things. And this wasn't something I wanted you to go through. Yet you ended up trying to kill yourself from me breaking up with you", I said as I let out an other sigh.
".. Will you tell me someday?" She asked as she turned her face to the side and laid her cheek on my chest.
"... Sure. When the time comes, I'll tell you and everypony", I said.
Lucy suddenly lifted her head up.
"Wait, did you just say everypony?" She asked as she gave me a goofy smile.
"Yes... don't bother asking, I just use it around the ponies", I said as I rolled my eyes.
"George... why are you in a wheelchair?" She finally noticed.
"That's a long story as well... I'll you that story later on", I said as Lucy finally rolled off of me.
"Okay, George. When will you get better so you can walk again?" She asked.
"Actually... it's more like I can't walk anymore... you'll understand when I tell you the story later on. But now's not the time, I need to get back to Scootaloo's house to make her dinner for tonight", I said as Celestia helped me up.
"Ooooh, weird name. Can I come?" She asked.
"Sur-",
"Lucy, I must know this. Do you plan on staying in this world, or do you wish to return to your old life?" Celestia interrupted my single word response.
"I'm staying with George! Besides, I burned down my house, quit my job. I've got no where else to go, even if I did go back", she said as she moved behind me and took hold of the two handle bars behind my wheelchair.
"Well, even if you did want to go back, you could always stay with my sister. She loved it when I brought you over to her house", I said as I looked back at Lucy, see seemed to shudder a little.
"I prefer not to go to your sister anymore", she said as she let out an awkward laugh.
"Huh, and why's that?" I asked as Lucy began to push me back and forth a little.
"... I'll tell you that some other time", she said.
"George, I will have a Guard take you back to the carriage so that you may go back to Ponyville", Celestia said as her horn glowed and a ring came from the nightstand beside her large bed.
She had levitated a small bell from her nightstand and gave it a ring. Two Guards, one a unicorn and the other a regular pony, came into the room once she had placed the bell back onto the table.
"Yes, your highness?" The regular pony said with a stern voice.
"Please escort George and his friend back to the carriage. Their trip to Ponyville will be immediate", she said to the two Guards.
"Understood. Please come with us", the other Guard said to the two of us.
Lucy started to push me and follow after the two Guards as they trotted down the hall. She seemed to have forgotten everything about there being ponies in armor and clothing and thought them as nothing more than normal people. I knew she would adapt to the new environment almost instantly. It was quite a ride to get down the flight of stairs, but we somehow got it down and had made the rest of the way back to the hanger-like room. Once we were in the carriage, Lucy sighed happily as she leaned herself on me.
"George... you don't know how much I've missed you", she smiled as she closed her eyes, snuggling closer to me.
"I missed you too... Are you sure you want to stay in this world with me? You could always go back and live a normal life", I said as the carriage lurched forward as the Guards pulled the carriage away.
Once we were out of the hanger-like room, the rain began to bombard the roof of the carriage, though Lucy didn't seem to care and continued to keep herself close to me.
"I would rather live in this world with you", she said as she rubbed her face on my arm.
"Well, since you're going to be staying with me, we're going to have to get you some clothes", I said as I looked at what little she was wearing.
"Yeah... can't that tall pony bring in my clothes from my house? She did bring me in from our old place, can't she do it with my clothes?" She asked as she opened her eyes and looked up at me.
"You set your house on fire, remember? I'm pretty sure none of your clothes survived that", I let out a laugh.
"You're right... maybe I can buy some clothes in this world?" She asked as a strong and sudden blast of air rocked the carriage slightly.
"I'm sure my friend can make you some clothes for free. Even if we do have to pay, I'll pay for it. Since our old money doesn't work in this world", I said as I wrapped my arm around her.
"Thanks, George", she said as she hugged me tighter.
Suddenly, a clanking sound came as something slipped out of her pocket and fell onto the floor of the carriage. Lucy reached down and picked up the object that had fallen out of her pocket, it was her phone.
"So you brought your phone here as well?" I smiled as I reached into my pocket and took my phone away.
"I didn't know I still had it on me... do yo think we can call one another?" She aske.
"I'm pretty sure there aren't any satellites or telephone poles in this world", I laughed at her silly little question.
Looking out the carriage window, I could see that were were going to reach Ponyville in a few minutes or so. It was really pouring now and it was starting to get colder now, I really needed to go ask Rarity if she could make me a jacket, and I'll have to see if she'll make Lucy some clothes. Speaking of Rarity, Sweetie Belle had said that Rarity wanted to see me about something. My train of thought was interrupted as Lucy wrapped her arms around my arm, she had fallen asleep.
'You're just like a child...', I smiled as I placed my free hand on the top of her hair.
'Now that you're here... I can't stop you from feeling that pain when I leave again', I sighed as I looked out the window again.
I had to wake Lucy up when we landed in Ponyville. I could have carried Lucy back to Scootaloo's home myself, but I didn't really have any legs for me to walk on. And wheeling two people in a wheelchair at once wasn't going to be easy. As the sleepy Lucy and I got out of the carriage, the rain immediately woke her right up and caused her to sprint towards the house of the little orange filly. Inside was dark, save the lights in the kitchen. Lucy dropped herself onto the couch and started to roll around on it. Looking at the clock that was hung up on the wall, I saw that it was actually 7:34 pm.
'Wow, we couldn't have been gone for that long... Guess that talk was longer than I thought', I thought as I wheeled myself towards the lit up kitchen.
Entering the kitchen, I was greeted with the sight of Scootaloo sleeping by the table. She was leaning over the table, a few books and pieces of paper were underneath her. I smiled at the sight of the exhausted filly, she must have been studying on her own while I was gone. Wheeling myself towards the sink, I saw that there were several dishes in a partially filled sink.
'Guess she made herself some dinner already... guess it's just me and Lucy now', I thought as I wheeled myself over to the fridge and made sure not to make any noise.
A loud bang came from the living room, and to my surprise, the little orange filly didn't even move when that sound came. Wheeling myself to look out of the kitchens doorway, I saw that Lucy had managed to figure out that the couch could be pulled out as a bed. She had the most guilty look on her face.
"Lucy, come here. I'm going to make us some dinner, and try not to make any noise. Scootaloo's sleeping right now", I said in a low voice as I wheeled myself back into the kitchen.
"Who's Scootaloo?" She whispered as she quickly made her way into the kitchen.
"Her, she's the filly I was telling you about a little while back in the castle. Remember?" I asked as I pulled out the needed ingredients to make a simple salad for the two of us.
"She's so cute!" She said in a slightly raised voice.
Lucy went over to Scootaloo and dropped down to eye level with the sleeping filly. Giggling lightly, Lucy began to lightly poke at her cheeks. I smiled as I shook my head. Preparing the salad didn't take long, and eating it didn't take long either... well, for me it took a little while. Lucy on the other hand, ate faster than Scootaloo ever could... I might have to get another job to feed these two endless pits. After cleaning the dishes, I thought it would be best to go to sleep now. Since I'll have to get up early to figure out on what to do with Lucy. First would be getting clothes made for her and then... just whatever comes along that she would need to live in this world.
"So, where do I sleep?" Lucy asked as she leaped up and dropped herself onto the pull out bed.
"There's a guest room upstairs, you can sleep in there... do you mind going into the kitchen and bringing Scootaloo up to her room?" I asked as I placed the bowls into the cabinets.
"Can't I sleep here?" She asked as I could hear her rolling around on top of the bed.
"That's where I sleep", I said as I looked out through the kitchen door.
"Then I'm really going to sleep here!" She let out a giggle.
"... Okay, go get a blanket and some pillows from the closet", I said as I pointed towards the closet to the left of the kitchen doorway.
"Okay!" She said as she got up from the bed and went towards the closet.
Going back into the kitchen, I gently picked Scootaloo up and placed her on my lap. Leaving her schoolwork behind, I wheeled us out of the kitchen, not before turning off the lights. Lucy had just finish 'laying' out the blanket and pillows, which was more like dumping it onto the bed in a giant bundle of the said objects.
"Lucy, do you mind bringing Scootaloo up to her room?" I asked as she turned around to look at me.
"Couldn't we just let her sleep here with us?" She asked as she patted the bed.
"I think it would be best if she slept in her own bed", I shook my head.
"Fine", she puffed out her cheeks and reached out for the filly.
Lifting the sleeping filly off of my lap, I passed her to Lucy. As I placed Scootaloo is Lucy's arms, I pulled my arms back.
"*Giggle* I think we should let her sleep here", Lucy continued to giggle at this sight.
"I guess", I smiled as I looked at my arm.
Scootaloo had wrapped her little hooves around my arm just as I was about to let go of Scootaloo to hand her to Lucy. Shaking my arm a little, Scootaloo wouldn't come off, she had a firm grip on my arm. Lucy dropped herself onto the bed again and started to undo the ball of bedding material as I used my unbound arm to push down one of the arm rests of my wheelchair. She rolled to the side to give me some space to lie down on. Reaching down with my free hand, I pulled off my shoes before I pulled myself onto the bed with my own free hand. I made sure not to accidentally sit on the filly as I moved myself up onto the bed. Once I was on the bed completely, Lucy rolled so that she was facing me.
"Good night, George", Lucy said as she gave me a smile.
"Good night", I said back as I returned the smile.
"I want a sandwich...", Scootaloo mumbled as she started to drool.
We both looked down at the filly, Lucy began to giggle lightly.
~Time Skip: 6:30 am~
I yawned as I heard some noise coming from the kitchen. Rolling over, I cracked my eyes open and saw that I was on the pull out bed.
'Huh, why am I here?' I thought as I looked around the living room.
Looking down at my hooves, I rubbed my leg. I remember something last night... I saw dad, I was hugging his leg. Guess that was a dream.
"George! Where's the bathroom?" A voice asked.
"To the left, it's by the closet", I heard George answer.
'Who was that?' I thought as I got up and trotted towards the edge of the bed.
Just as I was about to get off of the bed, a tall thing that looked sort of like George, but had longer hair, came out of the kitchen and disappeared into the bathroom. The thing stuck it's head out of the bathroom door and smiled.
"Hi!" It said, it's voice sounded like a mares.
"Hi?" I said back as she disappeared back into the bathroom.
"George! Someone's in the bathroom!" I called out as I quickly trotted into the kitchen to see that George was making breakfast.
"Oh, that's just Lucy. I hope you don't mind, but she'll be staying with us now", George said as he looked over his shoulder.
"It's okay... also, why was I on your bed?" I asked as I rubbed the back of my head, feeling that my mane was a bit messed up.
"Oh. When Lucy and I came back from the castle, you were asleep. After she and I had finished eating, I tried to give you to her so she could take you upstairs to your room, but you wouldn't let go of my arm", he chuckled.
"Oh...", I said.
'Wait... then I was hugging George's... arm... or leg?' I thought.
I thought George... was dad...
"Want some breakfast?" He asked.
"Y-yeah, sure", I stuttered as I felt my face grow red.
"Good, cause we're having pancakes", he said as he turned around, a pile of steaming pancakes were stacked up high on a plate he had on a chopping board that was on his lap.
"Hi again, Scootaloo", the person that George called Lucy said as she came through the kitchen doorway.
"Hey...", was all I said as I continued to think of what I had thought George was.
'I thought George was dad...', I thought as I slowly trotted towards the table and climbed onto a chair.
'He has been taking care of me for the past week that he's been here...', George placed a plate with six pancakes on it.
"Tell me if you can't finish it all", George said as he placed a fork and a knife by my plate and nudged a small pitcher with syrup in it.
"Okay", I mumbled as I looked away.
I could still feel that my face was red, and I didn't want him or his friend to see my face.
'He's been so kind to me... he did everything that dad used to do for me... help me with my school work, make me some lunch for school, and he's stood up to Diamond Tiara for me...', I smiled as I looked at George.
George noticed that I was looking at him, thankfully my face had lost it's redness, he returned the smile as he gave his fork wielding hand a light wave.
*P.O.V. Change: George*
After we had all finished eating, Scootaloo excused herself and trotted upstairs to get her schoolbags. I had told her that she had left her schoolwork on the table last night, but I had moved it all to the other small table in the living room. I was busy folding up the blanket and stacked the pillows on top of the blanket as I finished with the removal of the bedding material from the bed. Lucy was humming a merry tune as she cleaned the dishes. I smiled as I looked into the kitchen.
'Lucy... I'm going to have to tell her about my illness sooner or later...', I thought as I wheeled myself towards the closet to put away the blanket and pillows.
The sound of plates clanking against one another came as Lucy placed the plates back into the cabinet I had told her that the plates went in. Putting the blanket and pillows away, I wheeled myself back to the bed to put it back to the way it was before. After I had finished with the couch, I went over to the table that was just to the right of the kitchen doorway, and picked up a set of clothes to change into. Wheeling myself into the bathroom, I closed the door and locked it as I started to change out of my old clothes into a fresh set that Rarity had made for me.
"George, I don't have anything to change into", I heard Lucy say from behind the bathroom door.
"We're going to take care of that today. After I take you to that place, I need to go to work", I said as I finished with my clothes after fumbling with it for a little while.
"If you want, you can just wear some of mines", I joked as I dumped my clothes into a basket I found behind the door.
"... Okay, I didn't really mean that", I said as I opened the bathroom door to see that Lucy was picking out some clothes from the pile on the table.
"Then what do I wear outside?" She asked.
"You can go outside like that. I'm pretty sure that nopony will look at you any other way than they do to me", I said as she put the clothes back onto the pile.
The sound of Scootaloo's little hooves trotting down the stairs came as she came downstairs. She had a saddlebag on her back.
"Your stuff is on the table", I said as I pointed towards a table that was in front of the couch.
"Thanks...", she said softly as she quickly went for her stuff and stuffed them into her bag.
"Are you okay, Scootaloo?" I asked as I wheeled myself towards her.
"Y-yeah, I'm okay. I'll see you later, George!" Scootaloo said as she quickly galloped out of the house.
"Okay, that was odd...", I said as I looked at the open door.
"Come on, George! You're going to be late for work if you take too long for my clothes", Lucy said as she grabbed the handles of my wheelchair and pushed me towards the doorway.
"Actually... I'll be late if I don't get to work in 15 minutes", I said as I looked at the clock as Lucy pushed me past it.
"Hmmm, then can't we get my clothes after work?" She asked.
'Hmm... if I finish work quickly again, I can leave a large window for me to go to Rarity's boutique and place an order for Lucy. I'm sure Rich wouldn't mind her being there... she could actually help as well', I thought as we reached the door.
"Yeah, that should be better. Let's go", I said as I took control of my wheelchair again.
Here's Chapter 11 :D I'm actually having second thoughts on writing the Pokemon fanfic. I want to write another My Little Pony fanfic, but not sure which to do first. I'll probably figure it out when I finish with this fanfic :P
