Chapter 2: New Friends
Author's note: Ok so I haven't totally figured out the conflict in this story but you and I will both figure out hopefully. I am still taking any ideas and shortly will accept oc characters. I'll try to fit them in somewhere but where? Well that certainly is the question. Though no need to worry about that now. I also apologize if my spelling is horrible, I just want to bring an enjoyable story for some bored of life and looking for something to pass the time. Thanks and enjoy.
As I lay in the grassy field, millions of thoughts ran through my head as I got up onto my hands and knees. The fall seemed to have knocked the wind out of me. I was just happy I wasn't paste at the bottom of some unknown cave! I leaned up against a sturdy tree. Looking up I noticed it was a beautiful apple tree with big, juicy, red apples hanging from the branches. My mouth watered at the sight, like they had a charm. Then the only thigh going through my mind was a shock of pain that shook my nerves. It felt as if a horse bucked my bucking head. Then everything was black. K.O! Down goes Scotty!
What felt like a year later, but was maybe an hour or two my eyes finally popped open and was greeted with the warm, eye melting, rays of the sun which quickly made my eyes shut tight again. I heard a few gasps. If my nerves weren't shaken up already they would've been at this point. For at this point I was not dead, and I was not alone. Though I shouldn't be too happy…I had no idea who these people could be…or if they were even people! I peeked my right eye open to only a squint as it slowly adjusted to the violent beams from the sun to six colorful characters standing around me, one particular character that somewhat was a blurry color of purple had a glowing aurora around the top of her head. It was almost like she had a horn….my vision became clearer and clearer my eyes got wider and wider. My vision cleared up to the sight of them, the mane fricken six! Standing around me! Though…the only one I was worried about was Twilight giving me a look that looked straight into my soul. I knew what she was doing, she was just determining if I was a friend or foe hahaha….ha...haha…ha…WHAT?! Oh great this is how it ends! I get to be blasted from a magic bolt of god knows what from Twilight Sparkle!
"Wait!" I shout throwing my hands in front of my face, covering it. Twilight's purple magic-y stuff disappeared from atop her horn as she and her friends took a step back. I crawled up against the tree, sitting against it, surveying the 6 colorful ponies gathered around me. They stared at me with great big oval-y eyes, judging me, asking themselves; "What is that thing and why can it talk?"
My eyes almost matched the sizes of theirs, I, Scott, was standing (or well siting) in front of the mane six…..IN EQUESTRIA! As I sat there taking everything in trying to withhold my fangasming. I finally calmed myself enough to raise my hand and say "hi". Fluttershy, the butter colored pony with long light pink hair gave a loud "eep" as she disappeared leaving a little puff cloud made of who knows what, (dust maybe?) while the other got a look on their faces that said "move again and you won't move ever again". I froze in place, looking between each pony and Fluttershy who was hiding behind a tree a little ways away.
"Um, sorry…." I said as I slowly lowered my hand to the ground placing my hands firmly on the- holy sh** the grass was soft. Anyway. I placed my hands firmly on the grass so they don't get the idea that I have a weapon of some sort stashed in my pocket. The 5 around me backed up into a more normal standing position, though they still were standing at the ready to kick my a**. I started thinking to myself; 'Ok Scott, they are somewhat starting to trust yo- Oh son of a holy blargaga!' I clutched my head in pain screaming. The shock from the hoof hit finally wore off and the pain was brought on, and let me tell ya…it wasn't pleasant. As I lay there withering and groaning. I heard one of them start talking, I believe it was Twilight.
"What's wrong with it?" she asked somewhat concerned, probably because she thought I was going into a rage.
"Ah might off, accidently…uh...bucked him in the head..." she said a little shameful. I heard a few 'ohs' and 'ows' when she told them. The pain finally started to fade I started to sit back up clutching my head
"Ow ow ow ow ow…" I mumbled as I rocked back and forth waiting for it to go away forever but forever never came until one of them spoke.
"Ah..mighty sorry about that-…." Applejack said, leaving the sentence open for me to introduce myself.
"Scott…uh my name is Scott and it's, It's nothing really." I said as I gave her a reassuring smile that was met with more excruciating pain. Clutching my head, AJ began to fan my head with her hat, though it didn't help what so ever I smiled to her and said, "Oh thank you but I'm fine really"
I tried standing up but couldn't quite get enough strength to pull myself up so I plopped back down against the tree, still feeling those big oval eyes staring at me I started to chuckle.
"It's not very nice to stare." I said. On cue the very bright pink pony got right into my face and her eyes protruded out towards mine, and back to normal again.
"Why shouldn't we stare hm hm hm? Got something to hide? A surprise?! *Gasp* I love surprises what is it? Tell me tell me tell me! Wait then it wouldn't be a sur-." The pink pony was silenced and pushed away a little bit from the hoof of a blue Pegasus, with a rainbow colored mane.
"Uh, sorry about that, she starts talking and never stops. It makes me wonder how big her lungs are, or if she even needs to breathe." Rainbow Dash said. Every pony started laughing except for Fluttershy who was 'secretly' (not) coming closer and closer. Even I burst into a small laughter, leaving Pinkie Pie to glare at us before biting Rainbow's hoof. Rainbow let out a small 'ow!' and brought her hoof to closer to her cradling it then gave Pinkie a mean glare. Pinkie stuck her tounge out at Rainbow.
"Girls. That is quite enough arguing, I'm sure this...um...thing does not need a bigger headache from you 2." Rarity stated as she stood between them. My heart almost melted. There she stood, Rarity my favorite pony of the mane six, defending me hehehehe! Ahem! (Sorry, fangasm) Though the idea still hadn't really struck me, here I was sitting in front of the mane s-oh sh**...Where's my backpack…my accessories?! If they see those they'll get really suspicious. I looked around frantically searching for my back pack. I looked up to what appeared to be my pack dangling from a tree branch overhead. I sprung up and started jumping for it but I stopped suddenly. Wait. Where's Dakota…I'm in Equestria, my home is far from here….how'd I get here? How will I get back? Will I ever see my family again? Tears began to well I my eyes to the realization that; I'm alone here. It's just me here. No friends, family, enemies. I slid back down the trunk of the tree, curling up and letting it out. I started to feel bad for the awkward sight these ponies were seeing me, this thing, crying. I bet they were thinking whether they should console it or let it be. It being me of course.
I wiped away what tears remained and sat there, sulking until I felt a reassuring hoof on my shoulder. I looked up to the hoof and followed it to the one it belonged to. There stood AJ, her hoof on my shoulder and a warm smile that said; 'Everything is going to be just fine'.
"Are y'all alright there sugar cube?" she said softly.
I nodded my head wiping any evidence of tears away from my face.
"Ye-..yeah I'm ok, thank you." I lied, giving her a small, weak smile. It failed, horribly. AJ shot me a glare and said "now don't go a lying to me sugar cube. You look far from alright." With that being said I let a few more tears drop as I felt the warm embrace of the orange colored mare, then another and one after one each pony joined in to a huge group hug. Heck even Fluttershy joined in which left Pinkie pie to do a belly flop right on top of the colorful stack. Though why these ponies trusted me in such a short amount of time baffles me, I guess when the big scary thing in front of you starts bawling like a baby then it isn't so big and scary anymore. That feeling though, it felt like I wasn't so alone anymore. It felt great.
