John in Equestria (homestuck)
Chapter 2: ponies
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThere was something speaking. He cleared his head and strained to listen. He heard something about a "big door" and "bodies" his friends? probably. At that moment, something (metaphorically) struck him. With voices came sentient beings, and with that came company! He immediately tried to stand up, but what he saw was a surprise to him and the small... colourful... horses? ponies? Saying he was confuse would be understatement of the millennia. But there was one thing he new from the bottom of his heart.
They were adorable.
John stepped out to introduce himself, but as soon as he walked out, he felt something on the back of his head. It hurt. A LOT. it didn't seem to do much damage, but his health was at... what, a thousand? to much extra damage could kill him. he heard a yell, but what could... oh, wait, battle wounds. he blacked out.
When John awoke, he was at full health again. heh, sleep... he looked around and found himself looking straight into the teal eyes of a light yellow pony. when he tried to sit up, it went without a hitch. around the couch there were five more pairs of eyes.
the first, purple matching the body. it appeared to be a... unicorn? sure, let's go with that.
the next was blue eyes on a pink body, and this one seemed ecstatic.
after that, magenta eyes on a blue body with a rainbow... mane? horses have manes, right?
then blue eyes on a white body, with a mane that screams FAAABULOUS
and finally, blue eyes on an orange body, with a... cowboy hat? cowgirl?
teal eyes had gotten much, MUCH closer. "umm... h-hi?" John said, as all the ponies gasped. "did... did i do something wrong?" John asked, feeling slightly nervous.
teal eyes looked happy. she spoke very quietly, but John made out a "who are you?"
"oh, me? I'm John, the pranking master." John said, earning a happy smile from pinkie mc. partybutt.
seriously, what with the tramp stamps?
"oh, my name is flutershy" said the newly dubbed Fluttershy, earning a grin from John.
"so, who are your friends?" john asked, as purple mc. sparkle butt stared in disbelief as what was unfolding... unfolded.
John noticed and a mischievous grin grew on his face. "misses sparkle? may i ask your name?" purple looked at him, very nervous. "that is my name." she said, extremely nervous. "what is?" John asked, faking ignorance. purple Looked at him in disbelief "Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle, can i ask you some questions?" twilight looked at him, he could feel her hunger for knowledge. "once introductions are done." John said, earning a sad sigh from twilight. "Alright, who's next?" John asked, watching the ponies scramble to decide which would be next, the pink one winning in the end. "Hi! Who are you pinkster?" John asked, her smile widened "I'm pinkie! Hey, do you like parties? *Gasp* ihavetothrowyouapartywaitwhatkindofpartydoyouwant?isiranalienpartyordoyouwattogotoaclubormaybewecouldjustgopranking!yousaidyouweregoodatprankingright?wellmeanddashieareto!thisonetimwe... she went on talking for a few minutes before John could answer her first question. "I do like parties, but... no cake. please." Pinkie looked at him for a second before what he said processed, then walked away confused. "and there's some of you I haven't spoken to yet. please, will the following ponies come up in whatever order suits you best. Apples, Rainbow, and great mane." rarity beamed at her new nickname, and after a short conversation, she came up next.
"My name is rarity, darling, and i must ask, where did you get those amazing clothes?" Rarity asked staring at his god tier hoody.
John stared at her for a moment before asking, "do you want the truth? can you handle the truth?" rarity was awe struck. the normally happy John was now coldly staring at her. "well, i'll tell you. I got it the first time i died." the room went silent. only one pony spoke up, and that was flutter shy. "how did you die?" she asked, afraid of the answer. "murder" John replied, the silence deafening. John smiled widely "so, who next?"he asked, shattering the tension in the room.
"I am" the rainbow one said, shifting nervously in front of the apparent ghost.
"okay rainbows, what's your name?" john asked while still getting sympathetic looks.
"I'm Rainbow Dash, fastest flier in equestria! and you say you're the pranking master, are you really the best of your species?" rainbow asked looking at him like an alien.
"I'm the only of my species." John said, smile never wavering.
"oh..." rainbow said, looking for any way out of the awkward situation.
"Anyway, one left!" John said, ignoring the atmosphere of the room.
"that'd be me" said apples, shifting uncomfortably as she spoke.
"okay, and you are?" John asked for the umpteenth time.
"Applejack" aj said getting relaxed now that the oppressive atmosphere was gone.
"I have to ask, weren't you hurt before? what happened?"
"you mean how did i get hurt, or how did i heal so fast?" John asked, worryingly calm.
"how did you heal." aj asked, fearing the answer to the other question.
"sleep" john replied simply, confusing everypony in the room.
"but..." twilight said, trying herself to understand before her mouth was covered by something pink. "don't question it, twilight." pinkie was uncharacteristically serious before sitting down. Next Chapter: THIS Estimated time remaining: 6 Minutes
