My Little Pony: Skye Dubson Goes To Equestrian Chapter VI: The Dilemma

Again, the sun was setting, but it was not dark yet. Skye was leaned against a tree sat at the bottom of it. He was still hugging Scootaloo. After you died, I had nothing he said, The only thing I had was that doll you loved so much he said.
Miranda? she asked. Skye smiled slightly,
Yeah, Miranda he giggled.
Can I ask you a question? said Scootaloo, standing up.
Yes said Skye, a little concerned.
Well, it s just that I d prefer if you called me Scootaloo she said.
Yeah, I can do that he answered. Scootaloo looked at the moon rising, We should get going Skye, it s getting late she said. Skye got up and the two of them started walking towards town. It seemed empty, granted it was night. But it seemed too empty. Skye, where is everypony? asked Scootaloo.
I have no idea he said, looking for a clue why everypony had vanished in their absence. They looked around a bit more and then decided to go to the library.
Twilight? shouted Skye, knocking on the door. There was no answer, but the door creaked inwards a bit. Hello? he asked once more. He couldn t care less now, so he fully opened the door, Twi , he started, but was interrupted by a chorus of colourful ponies singing a happy birthday song.
After they d finished Skye was in pure shock. Pinkie Pie bounced over him, Skye, hi, Scootaloo told me about your birthday day and it was today so I decided to throw you a party because you need a party on your birthday day and some presents, almost everyone got you presents and some of them are neat, not to say I took a sneak peak, but oh my goodness, some of them are good! she screamed.
Could you go for any longer? he asked, grinning.
Yes, I could talk about , she started.
It was rhetorical, besides, I heard the word presents, he said, thinking how since he was twelve, no-one had really cared for him. So, you threw me a party? he asked, now thinking how nice ponies in this world are when you get to know them.
Yes, a big party. Everypony came to see you said Pinkie, extremely happy; she had gotten over the incident. Skye then looked around at all the faces, some of them blue, white, red, pink, grey all different colours. He didn t see any yellow and pink ones though.
W-well, thank you Pinkie I don t know what to say he said.
Don t say anything, just have a good time! she screamed. Skye nodded mentally and moved away from pinkie, but anywhere he went, everypony was still looking at him.
Please stop looking at me said Skye politely, and everypony did. They all went about partying. A knock came at the door. I ll get it he said. Skye opened the door.
Real nice said Scootaloo, who Pinkie had slammed the door on.
Did you not come in? he said, Sorry, Scootaloo he finished, sadly.
Hello came from a voice that Skye really wanted to hear. He looked up and saw Fluttershy.
Shy, I-I- I m so sorry about before, it s just that , he started.
I don t want to hear it, you were mean to me, and I liked you she said. Then she turned around and started walking away.
But why would you even come if you would just say that? he asked.
I came to see Twilight she said.
What about said Skye, running after her. I wanted her to make you a pony she said.
Why ever would you want that? he asked. Because, you broke my heart and I wanted you to know how it felt she cried.
Fluttershy, don t cry, I hate myself for what I did, I didn t tell anyone what I actually did though, I was scared he said, worried.
Well , said Fluttershy Well nothing, I said I was sorry, what exactly can I do? he said and then remembered what she had just said, What about it? Why don t I become a pony? he asked. Fluttershy put on a poker face, and then smiled.
You mean you would really do that for me? she asked, then giggled.
If it means you aren t angry at me anymore and then yes, let s do it he said. He looked back at the library, C mon, let s do it, besides, being a pony could be fun he said. Fluttershy muzzled him and trotted off, rather content. I love her so much Skye mumbled.
Sorry, what? said Twilight, sneaking up behind him.
Well, I , he started.
I don t wanna hear it, but I m guessing what her present is she said, grinning.
Can we just go inside please? he asked. Twilight nodded.
They both looked at Rainbow Dash, who was stood outside, looking depressed. Skye looked at Twilight, Actually, give it a couple of minutes he said. Then he looked at Rainbow Dash again and walked over to her. Rainbow? he asked. Rainbow Dash, however, just sighed. Dash, is everything alright? asked Skye. Rainbow Dash looked up and sighed again.
Everything s not fine. It s not bad, it s just weird she said.
Like what? he asked.
I think I m , she started, but Twilight was shouting for them, Let s finish this later she said. Then she quickly got up and hovered into the building. Skye jogged after her. When they got into the building, Skye saw everypony was still here, they were partying and Pinkie especially was having a good time.
Skye walked over to a couple of ponies and said hi, trying to make a good impression, but most of them walked away. Only one continued standing there, Hi she said.
So, they don t like me, I m guessing? he asked.
Maybe not, but I don t really care about looks, I heard you saved Twilight, so that s in my books she said. She was a creamy white colour and had striped pink and darker pink in her mane. He cutie mark was a perfect looking rose. My name is Roseluck by the way she said.
Roseluck, nice name he said, Wow, that didn t sound really stupid he thought. Hehe thanks. Your name is cool too she said.
Erm thanks. I mean, I ve never assumed my name was cool, Skye is just a name in my opinion he said, And there I go again, being pessimistic he said, mentally kicking himself. Alright, well, happy birthday Skye she said. Then she looked over at a huge pile of nicely wrapped gifts and boxes, some were big.
Are are those for me? Skye asked. This world was the nicest thing he had ever seen. His family had only ever gotten him presents, until that. But still, he d had no friends in his life.
As in, that huge pile of presents, then yes she said, giggling, Have you ever had a party before? she asked, getting a bit more serious.
Yeah, but they stopped when I was twelve he said, I m twenty one now he continued.
What? How come? she asked, but Skye knew she would not like to hear it.
Well, let s just say that my family are he couldn t think of anything to say, not alive anymore he finished.
Oh, I m sorry, I didn t mean to , she started.
No, no, it s ok, you didn t know. But I found one of my sisters here, Scooty, but here she s called Scootaloo he said, smiling now.
I know her, she and her friends sometimes help me out with gardening, which I nearly always soon regret she said through gritted teeth. So, how is she your sister? Roseluck asked.
Well, she then was reborn as a pony apparently he said.
Nice to know, have you met Lyra yet? asked Roseluck, almost having a giggling fit.
Yes, she seemed really enthusiastic said Skye.
Oh boy, that s not enthusiasm, she is just in love with humans, and now she has met a good one, she ll be all over you like those caterpillars on my flowers she mumbled the end part.
I hope not said Skye, laughing.
Well, that reminds me, you might want to speak to some other ponies, you know, mingle she sniggered.
Sure, it was nice meeting you he said, and then she walked over to a table and started talking to someone else. Skye looked around for someone to talk to. There were loads of ponies. Skye, oh Skye came a posh voice that Skye could only recognize as Rarity.
Hello he said, turning around, and seeing her.
Skye, I wanted to know if you had a place to stay yet? she asked, eagerly.
Well, no he answered.
So, you have no job? she asked.
Well, no. But I am gonna work for Applejack soon he said.
That s nice, but you could work for me too she said, As a model? she asked shyly.
Sorry Rarity, but I have plans that would interfere with your plan, because of body he said, trying to give little information away.
Oh... Wait, are you , she started, finally realizing.
Don t say anything, please, it s my present to Fluttershy to say sorry for treating her badly he whispered.
Right, you really are the best human Anypony has ever seen she said, trotting away happily. Skye then looked over to Rainbow Dash, who still seemed sad. She d gonna get over it eventually, whatever it is, right?
Skye, I m behind you! came a voice, the voice of Lyra.
Lyra, hi again he said. But as he turned around, she was in his face You have no idea how happy it makes me to see a good human. I am into that she said. Skye was strange confused, Is she coming on to me? he thought.
Maybe she said.
Please tell me you seriously can t read my mind? he asked.
Well, I am a unicorn she said, pointing at her horn.
I don t know a lot about unicorns or Pegasus he sighed.
Well, I might or might not be coming on to you she said, It s so easy to tease humans she said.
And, it s the humans who are supposed to be evil? he asked. Lyra just giggled. Anyway, I how do I put this, I like Fluttershy he said. Lyra stopped jumping around.
What? she said, not smiling anymore, or looking happy.
Oh, so I see you did like me then? he asked. Lyra nodded. Fluttershy walked over.
Hello, Lyra she said.
Fluttershy, would you ever date me? asked Skye. Fluttershy blinked and took a step back.
Skye, I don t really think that I want to talk about that she said.
It s just that , he was going to say.
Well, to be truly honest, no. I m sorry, but if you were a pony, then maybe she said, and then walked away.
I think you should open your presents now said Lyra, also walking away.
Yeah mumbled Skye. He looked around for Pinkie Pie or Twilight. He walked up to a bunch of ponies and asked for the two. A red pony pointed to a cake, which Pinkie was staring at. He walked over to her.
Pinkie, what are you doing? he asked.
What does it look like? I m making sure this cake is perfect she said.
I haven t had a cake in forever, it s fine he said, But, I d like to open my presents now he said. Pinkie looked away from the cake to the presents.
Open mine first she said. Skye nodded and Pinkie shouted to everypony to come and watch Skye.
From Pinkie he read on a note, which was attached to a card. Skye opened the card and a slip of card fell out which read Coupon for 4 free muffins . Cool, I will be using that soon he said. He picked up another one.
Twilight looked at Spike, who laughed. Twilight looked back at Skye, nervously. As he opened it, Twilight backed up a little. There were ten books wrapped neatly in rope.
Daring Do? Twilight, this is like the best book series or rather, the only book series I ve ever read, thanks he said. Then Twilight looked at an astonished Spike, and laughed. Skye looked at Rarity, I m afraid I haven t had time to get you a present, Skye. I shall get you one though she said. Skye shrugged.
Hey, you were only told last night, I don t blame you he said, smiling. He looked at Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.
We got you a combined gift said Scootaloo. Skye found a quite large package that said From SCooTAlOo and Rainbow Dash and tore at the opening at the side. After he got all the paper off, it looked like a scooter and a helmet. You did always say you would get me a scooter he said, thinking of before he was 12. Scootaloo smiled. A few hours later, after Skye had opened the rest of his gifts, some included chocolates, a snow globe that had a rainbow instead of snow and picture frame. Most ponies had left by now, and only eleven were left at the library; the mane 6, Scootaloo, Spike, Lyra, Bon-Bon and a white pony with goggles.
Twilight, can I get somewhere to sleep? asked a sleepy Skye. Twilight looked at the other ponies, and agreed. Sure, but first do you want Fluttershy s gift? she asked, smiling.
No, not yet, I m having a bit of a dilemma he said. Twilight leaned in. C mon, like I m gonna tell you he said. Then Twilight made those eyes. Fine he said.
Good she answered, giggling.
Basically, Lyra like likes me for being a human he said.
Dilemma how? asked Twilight.
Well, I like Fluttershy he said.
Problem? she said, then realized, Aah, so you don t know whether to become a pony or not? she asked. Skye just nodded.
I don t know Twilight, Lyra looks much more heartbroken that Fluttershy he said.
True and it s not always about what you want she said.
But Well, I have an idea he said. Twilight giggled.
Oh my, I remember when I had an idea he said.
Skye grimaced and remembered the pain, Yeah, except this one will work. I am going to fly solo until I decide he said.
Okay then, but just so you know, I know somepony else who like likes you she said, and then trotted off.
You have got to be kidding me he whispered. He looked at spike, who had been curiously watching the whole conversation while trying to bite into a cookie.
What? asked Spike.
Is it her? asked Skye, pointing at Twilight.
Probably, but don t tell her I said that if it s not he said, shaking his head, and then going back to trying to eat the cookie.
Well, I m not going to ask, because I would feel like an idiot he said to himself. He looked for something to occupy himself.
Hey, I m Bon-bon came a voice Skye hadn t actually heard before.
Hi he answered.
So, listen up about my friend Lyra. She s kind, sweet and perfect for humans, so just don t upset her, ok? she said, looking into his eyes.
Well, I I don t plan to date Anypony right now, not until , he started.
I will give you her I-Pod she said.
You have an I-Pod? he stuttered.
Yes, well, she does, but she doesn t use it. To recharge it just electrocute it with Lightning she said.
I then he looked at Fluttershy, I ll think about it he said.
Me and Lyra gotta get going now anyway she said, and the left rather quickly.
Skye watched another pony packing up something and looked at it. The pony quickly looked at him at hid the package. He walked over to the assumed mare, Hi he said.
No, I haven t finished he said.
What? he asked.
This thingy, I didn t finish it Stop looking! she shouted.
Alright he said, starting to walk away.
Done she said, smiling, then removed her goggles, These itch like heck she finished. Why on earth would I want that? he asked, looking at a very badly wrapped hay sandwich. What s wrong with it? she asked.
One, I don t eat hay, and two, that is really kind and all, but you already got me a present, it s that disc which I don t have anything to play on he said.
Yeah, it s a Vinyl, like me, name is Vinyl Scratch, and I m a DJ. To be honest, I never thought humans would be sexy she sniggered. Skye blushed. She playfully punched his arm and left without her equipment, Twilight? I ll be back tomorrow to pick my stuff up! she shouted, but Twilight was already asleep, as was Spike, and the mane 6 excluding Rarity had gone home by now.
Rarity? asked Skye, seeing her about to leave. Yes, darling? she asked.
Could I please ? Stay at your boutique tonight? he asked. Rarity blushed. That is not what I meant thought Skye.
I yes she said.
Thanks replied Skye.
That s great, I like Fluttershy, Lyra has a crush on me, and Bon-bon bribed me, Vinyl was teasing me I think, somepony like likes me and Rarity just got the wrong impressions, could today go any worse? thought Skye as he followed Rarity home. Rarity opened the door, Now, I don t have another bed, so , she started, but Skye collapsed immediately. How cute whispered Rarity as she levitated him onto her bed and then got in herself. Then she levitated a blanket onto him and turned the lamp off, surrounding them both in darkness. Sweet dreams said Rarity, soon falling asleep herself.

ELSEWHERE A vast bedroom detailed with pictures of suns and moons is home to two alicorns standing side by side.
So, is it time to tell him? asked Luna.
No, not until he finds out the last piece of the puzzle, then he can fit them together said the white Alicorn.
Why do you also speak in riddles, sister? she asked.
Not always, but it s fun she giggled.
