I scratched my head as I sat in a large bush at the tree line, ok…I know Fluttershy lives in the forest; BUT WHERE? I looked around from inside my bush (kind of kinky), I saw a small dirt trail that led deeper into the forest. Great, maybe I’ll get mauled by a bear or something. Despite my brain telling me that this was probably the worst idea I’ve ever had, I got up out of my hideout and started walking along the trail.

You are so stupid, this is the same principal as the ‘don’t get in the creepy van that has ‘free candy’ written on the side my brain told me as I walked. I ignored the threats from my inner subconscious and kept walking. It was really calm as I walked down the trail, it felt nice. It was probably the nicest feeling I have felt here yet beside the thing I can do with my face *Squee*.

I stopped after a while and took a seat on a fallen tree. I made sure it was a tree seeing as I couldn’t tell the difference between a tree stump and a Canterlot guard. I sat there and listened to the sounds of nature for a little while. The birds chirped around me and I went into a daze and fell asleep.

While asleep I went into another one of my ‘I am going to have a you have been put into the story dreams, only I only get put into one of them… the cupcakes’ dream. I had gotten used to that dream and I even wrote a fic about it. (Scary huh?)

Have you ever waked up to someone who was only inches away from your face and was staring at you? Well that just happened to me, only it was not what I expected. I opened my eyes and saw a pair of light green eyes looking at me. I don’t like this feeling.

“Oh sweet Jesus!” I yelled before rolling off the other side of the tree and getting a mouthful of dirt. I really hate my luck right now. So far out of my series of unfortunate events I have: been hit with a truck, sent through a convenience store, DIED, got hit straight in the nose by a guard, got thrown into jail, got chased trough the biggest city in Equestria, and then got the piss scared out of me by something. The only way it could get any worse is if everything bad that happened to me already happened again all at once. I don’t ever want to have to go through that.

I rolled over on the ground and what I saw above my head scared me at first. It was Fluttershy, I could tell by the light green eyes and the look of shyness and concern on her face. She was looking at me like I was a wounded animal.
“A-are you ok? D-do you need me to help you?” Fluttershy said to me, her small shy voice, making it hard for me to reach up and hug her. Wait, you will get everything you want eventually. Fine, I hate you brain.

I sat up slowly as to not frighten her; it wasn’t super effective like the meme from the internet portrayed. The yellow mare squeaked and jumped back and hid on the other side of the tree. At least she doesn’t have a purse to hit me with. I got into a sitting position and peered over the side of the tree “Please don’t be afraid, I am not going to hurt you.” Genius! Maybe the second time I say this it will be more effective. It was.

Fluttershy looked up at my face and I could tell she was starting to ease her tension. Good, now I am going to see if she can help me, because if she doesn’t I better go find myself a nice comfy rock to live under because that will probably be my only other option. I got into a kneeling position and she continued to look at me with those eyes. HHHHHNNNGGG, fighting the urge to hug her, losing the will to fight it. Too cute. AAARRGGGHH!

After I got my mind to come out of sleep mode again I began to try to talk to her. “I don’t mean to scare you, I am not from here. I was looking for you because I wanted you to help me explain why I am here to everypony. Will you help me?”

She looked at me then she found her voice again “U-um, I think I can help, I mean if that’s ok.”

She said that line, HHHNNNGGG. “Yes please, I need someone to listen to why I am here. I am not going to hurt anyone. I just want to explain why I am here.” Please say ok.

“Um…ok. I’ll go get my friends and maybe Twilight can help also.” Fluttershy told me to go and sit on her front steps while she got her friends.

Oh geez, I can just feel the awkward already. I can just hear all of the questions that they are going to ask me. What are you? Why are you here? How did you get here? Why are you so ugly looking? I was starting to get a little nervous, not enough to be scared mind you, but enough to make me think of this. What if they think of me like the ponies at Canterlot. What if I truly am meant to be in the jail because I am so different? Stop thinking like that; Fluttershy is at least going to try to help me.

I sat there for what felt like hours before I saw the group of six ponies walking and flying towards me. Queue the extremely large amount of awkward. Fluttershy was the first to make it to me. “I met him when I was walking through the woods” She said as the others stopped in front of the stairs.

At least they know that I am a male. Wait, how did Fluttershy deduce this? I gave what looked to be a bad poker face and waved at them. “Hi” was all I could manage my mouth to say. Hi? Great going smart-ass, now they will probably think you’re freakin stupid. Idiot. I didn’t listen to my subconscious and looked at the group in front of me, my stupid smile still painted on my face.

“Hello” Twilight said in a little bit of a startled tone.

“Howdy” Applejack said next.

“Hello dear” Rarity said next. I wanted to go over and put duct tape over her mouth. Rarity was my least favorite out of the mane 6, so that’s why I wanted to do it. Just thought you would want to know.

“Sup” Rainbow Dash said after Rarity. My mind suffered a blowout after that. Rainbow Dash was my favorite character, just another tidbit for you.

Pinky didn’t even say anything, she just bounced over to me, despite the cautious looks from the others and hugged me tightly. At least one of them likes me, hooray.

Fluttershy flew over to twilight and said “H-He says he wants to explain why he is here. S-should we let him?”

“I don’t know, I think I should alert the princess to his being here” Twilight replied to Fluttershy.

Uh oh. Do not want. I don’t want more jail time, I just got out. I found my voice “Please, just hear me out. I was already in the jail cell at Canterlot; the princess has no interest in talking to me. I broke out so I could come and talk to you and see if you could get Celestia to understand why I am here. You can send her as many letters as you want about me afterward, just let me explain.” I probably shouldn’t have milked it as much, but at this point I was desperate.

“Wait, how do you know about this place if you are not from here? How do you know about the Princess?” Twilight asked me, now confusion in her voice.

“That is why I want to explain, I can tell you everything” I said to them.

“Ok, let’s hear your explanation” Twilight said to me.

Wow rude much. Fine. “Ok, I am not from around here. I am from a place called earth. You have never heard of it but I was from there. I was getting ready for school and I had a little accident in which I died. After I died I came here.” I paused to take a breath. “When I woke up here I had no idea where I was at first, all I saw was a dirt road. I followed it and saw Canterlot in the distance. Before I could even reach it I was knocked out by a Canterlot guard. I woke up in the jail all alone. No pony came to ask why I was here or anything. I figured they were going to let me rot in the cell.” Another pause for breath. “I devised a plan to get out to come and see you so I can try to get everypony to believe that I am not an enemy or ‘monster’ for that matter.”

Twilight looked at me for a long time and looked to all of the others, searching for what they thought of my explanation.

“I-I think we should help. He is really nice” Fluttershy said to Twilight.

“Yeah, I think what he is saying is the truth, and he is pretty cool once you get over the not being a pony thing” Rainbow commented. Over where I was sitting I practically fell over after hearing that.

“I like him, he smells good” Pinky said to Twilight. Okay, so I smell good. That’s good to know.

“Ah think we can trust um” Applejack added.

“I second Applejack” Rarity said. Still don’t like her talking, even if she thinks I am telling the truth.

“Ok, I think he is telling the truth as well, but what do we do about the fact that he broke out of prison?” Twilight said to the other ponies while looking at me.

I smiled sheepishly and turned my head away.

“I would have done the same thing if I was imprisoned for doing nothing wrong” Rainbow Dash said to Twilight, a little on the angry side.

Not sure if she is defending me or just giving a comment that doesn’t really matter in the situation. I sat there and listened to their argument on my ‘imprisonment’. What to do, what to do. Maybe I’ll get my little lunch out of my bag.

Pinky had walked over and was sitting next to me, looking at the ponies arguing.

I pulled my bag around to my front and opened the top to grab my lunch. Pinky heard my bag rustling and was looking at me looking in my bag. I can feel her eyes looking deep into my soul. I got my lunch bag out from my knapsack and opened it.

“What’s that? Does it have goodies in it?” Pinky asked me happily.

“It’s just my lunch for school. I didn’t get any chance to eat for the past two days so I am a little hungry.” I took a pudding cup out of the bag and opened it. I looked at Pinky with the pudding cup in my hand. She was looking at the cup. “Do you like chocolate pudding?”

“I LOVE chocolate pudding!” Pinky said happily.

I handed the cup out to her and she ate it eagerly. Note to self: Never get in the way of Pinky Pie and pudding. I turned back to the others who have finished arguing and were now looking at me. “What, I just gave Pinky some pudding is all.”

“That was sooooo good!” Pinky said as she licked her lips.

Twilight shook her head at the pink pony then turned her attention back to me. “I have sent a letter to the princess about you escaping and coming to talk to us. She was not happy about the whole ‘escaping’ part but she decided that you are allowed to stay after I told her how you got here.”

Yes, I got a little bit of good luck for a change. I am so happy I could just die…wait I already did that. Nevermind.
I smiled and sat back a little. “That is a big relief. Thank you for allowing me to stay, I owe you.” I looked at them and asked “well, if you want I have a few things I could show you from where I came from, and I could tell you about where I came from, if you want me to.”

“Story time!” Pinky said joyfully.

“Sweet, count me in. and what is that you’re wearing? I think it’s so cool and I want one” Rainbow Dash said to me.

I was still sitting on the stairs of Fluttershy’s home and everypony, even Twilight sat down around me, eagerly awaiting to hear things about where I came from. Yay, I feel like I am one of the popular kids at school now, that or me being the kid with the full pack of gum and opening it in the lunchroom. I got into a comfortable position and got ready to tell them all about everything. Woohoo!

I wonder what’s going to happen when I show them the wonders of electronic devices. Well, let’s find out!
