Mysterious Alicorn
By Aponymous
Chapter 13
Speaking as somepony who's first memory is bleeding out in a thorny bush, a hangover isn't as bad as people say it is. Having a hangover is however, no a comfortable sensation in the slightest.
I woke up to the sound of loud snoring and birds chirping. I opened my eyes to reveal Fluttershy's cottage, warm and dark, with the curtains shut and a warm pot of coffee sitting on the bedside table. I turned my attention to the source of the snoring and found Rainbow Dash laying there, seeming to have collapsed at about the same time I did, sleeping like a rock.
I put a hoof to my forehead and groaned, the feeling of pain I once though would be ever-present had returned in a lesser form, my head felt like it was going to explode. Apparently Rainbow is a light sleeper, because my groan seemed to have woken her.
Rubbing the sleep from her eyes she spotted the coffee pot and smiled
"Did you make that?"
I shake my head, Rainbow Dash was about to start talking again when Fluttershy reentered the room.
"How are you two feeling" She said quietly, still not making eye contact with me.
"Pretty good, althought this one doesn't look like he's doing so well." Rainbow said as she nudged me in the rib.
Fluttershy frowned and went to get me a cold glass of water.
"I'll be back in a second, you should lay down"
Rainbow lowered her voice and said with urgency
"If you want to get back in good graces with Fluttershy you need to be vunerable, Fluttershy loves taking care of hurt animals and your about as close to an injured puppy as a pony can get."
I frowned at her but nodded nevertheless. It seemed rather dishonest but if Rainbow thinks it would help things go back to normal it's worth a try, it wasn't like I would have to change how I normally act, I am was usually pretty vunerable regaurdless.
"Well, I'm going to head back home. Last night was fun, let's do it again sometime."
Rainbow went to say her goodbyes to Fluttershy and left for her cloud home, leaving me to bear my vunerable side to Fluttershy, a feat easily acheved considering what had been going on recently.
Over the next few hours I mostly just tryed to sooth my heading and converse with Fluttershy as best I could without words. Once I started feeling better she took a serious tone, well, serious for Fluttershy.
"Are you feeling better?"
I nodded.
"Good, Twilight was wondering if she could mybe talk to you at some point, if thats ok."
Glad to see her as her normal self again I smiled and nodded yes.
She gestured wordlessly for me to follow and we walked towards Twilights Library together. As we walked it was mostly silent, not what I would call and awkward silence, more of a comfortable silence.
I wanted to ask what Twilight wanted to talk about but couldn't figure out a way to mime it, although Fluttershy seemed to notice this though and she said
"Twilight will explain when we get there, but I think it has something to do with the letter she sent to the princesses"
I furrowed my brow and frowned, weren't the other only two known alicorns the princesses? What would they do with me? Would they know were I came from?
"I'm sure it will be fine"
Fluttershy was trying to make me feel better, I could tell she wasn't sure it would be fine. We continued in silence past that point, both engrossed in though and worries.
Once at Twilight's Library we approached the door, knocked and waited a second before Twilights voice emanated from inside.
"Spike! Can you get that?"
At this point Fluttershy seemed to perk up.
"You haven't meet spike before, have you?"
I shook my head no.
"He's been in Canterlot visiting Twilight's parents and picking up some books from the royal library."
I nod my head and the door opens, revealing a small dragon looking flustered.
"It's Fluttershy and some guy"
"Let them in!" Twilights voice rang from up the stairs
I gave Spike a good look, he was a bit strange, but what did I know? Maybe many ponys had dragons.
Spike gestured for us to come in we trotted into the hollow tree Twilight called home. Twilight was walking down the stairs as we entered the building, smiling and waving us toward the seats near a table in one side of the room.
We obliged and Twilght cleared her throat, her expression now serious. Both Fluttershy and I watched intently as she took a letter off of the table and began to read.
What will the letter say? I'm not sure! Find out when I decide next time on DRAGON BALL ZZZZZZ... wait a second, no, thats not it. Fanfiction. thats what this is.
