From Afar
Chapter 5: Can you repeat that again?
Previous Chapter~~~~~~~~Twilight's Study/ Marcelo's POV~~~~~~~~
"Could you take your clothes off?" she looked at me as she held her camera and levitated her notes and quill. I was surprised that she wants me to take my clothes off! This was absolutely absurd, man!
"Uh...Why do you need me to take my clothes off?" I looked at and a thought came in my mind. Am I about to get molested!?
"I just want to examine the anatomy of your species. It's just tha-" I soon cut her off as I felt my anger get the best of me.
"Okay, first of all, I'm not going to take my clothes off! And second, I am not going to stay here and be fucking molested by you! If you want to learn the human anatomy, then maybe I should have brought my science text book from home! God damn, why would you ask a guy something like that!" So yeah I blew a fuse and maybe I should have brought a text book from home to help me out of this shit. "So the answer is no, I'm not going to fucking strip!" And just like that, she dropped her items. She had never seen me so pissed off, this was actually the first time I scolded at some one other then that asshole kid, Will, in my school. With all that said I saw tears in her eyes as she quickly walked towards her chambers, trying not to weep. "Shit..." I really fucked up this time.... I wonder what would my father would say about me screaming at a girl...
About 7 minutes past as I walked the hallways to Twilight's chambers. I had to apologize about my meltdown back there and I felt bad for doing that. I knocked at her door, but all I got was "Go away!"
"Twilight, please let me in... If I asked you to take your clothes off how would you react." I heard light footsteps approach as she finally opened her door. I felt awful when I looked at her. Her mane was a mess and she had tear stains on her cheeks. She gave me a disgusted look.
"What do you want..." she eyed at me as I began to speak up.
"Twilight...I'm sorry. Forgive me for my outburst back there. If you want to examine me, you might as well do it now." I was hoping for faint smile, but...
"You hurt my feelings really bad, Marcelo... I don't think I could forgive this easily for cursing at me and accusing my of molestation. You might as well go away, I don't you here..." she slammed the door loudly that it echo though out the hallway. I felt horrible as I sighed deeply. I decided to knock on her door again, only this time she didn't answered.
"Twilight I know you are there. Please...I'm so sorry about what happened. Its just that it was such a lewd question to ask me and I didn't knew how to respond to it. I blame myself because I can't control my anger. I know you were doing this to gain knowledge, and you should do it. I have no other resource of human science whatsoever. Please, Twilight...I'm sorry." still there was no answer. So I really fucked up. Then suddenly the door open as she looked at me.
"I'm sorry if my curiosity gets the best of me. It's just the I find it extraordinary that you are from another world and I wanted to learn so much from you. And I let my curiosity get the best off me..." she sighed deeply as I laid a hand on her shoulder. "I Forgive you for that. But asking me to take my clothes of was out of the ordinary on my book. And me bad mouthing you was uncalled for." she smiled a bit
"I forgive you...It was wrong of me to say that to you." she hugged my tightly as her tail wagged a bit.
"Come on, if you want to examine my body parts like some sort of doctor, then go ahead." I walked back to her study and she followed.
"Okay, just hurry up so I don't feel embarrassed..." I took off my flannel and t-shirt as she nodded and waited till I was fully naked. "Can you not look, please!"
"Alright, then." she turned around as I took my shoes off. I slid my pants and briefs off and finally spoke to her.
"Alright, you can start your study..." Twilight blushed slightly as she stared at my member and suddenly gasped at my chest.
"W-What happened there!" she carefully examined my scar as I blushed
"I'll talk about it later. Can we just get on with it!" she jump from my voice and soon began to sketch my entire body.
I was just standing for about 12 minutes as she was taking notes and comparing my body with a drawing of a male pony body. She then took out another book on the pony anatomy. Her camera flashed every time she told me to pose like the figure in her book. She would have a small flashlight and shine it at my eyes and ears. She wrote some notes about my eye color and about the scar on my chest. What made this awkward was that she keep checking my manhood... About 30 minutes pass as she finally finished her drawings and notes. "There... You can put your clothes back on."
I sighed with relief and without hesitation put my clothes back on. She closed her books and puts her quills away. Her notes were stored in a blue folder. She then looked at me as I slide my t-shirt on.
"So...would you like to talk about the scar on your chest?" she sat at a nearby chair as I put my flannel on.
"The scar was from a surgical procedure I had when I was little" she tilted her head slightly
"You ever heard of pectus excavatum?" she looked at me and shook her head. "Its a deformity when the chest or pectus caves in the body. It makes it harder to breath with it. I had it since I was born."
"So what did the doctors do?" she leaned on the chair.
"Surgeons had to make an incision on the middle of my chest, just below the nipples. There they cut out my chest and reversed it and they cut some infected cartilage from my collar bone. I was about 3 when the surgery happened." she had a worried look as she got up.
"And..your okay now?" she walked closer towards me as I chuckled to her question.
"I'm great. From what I research when I was in my world, it improves the heart and blood vessel function. I'm alright, Princess Twilight." i only smiled as she gave a light smile.
"Please, just call me Twilight... So did it took years to recover?" she began to walk towards the main stairs.
"Actually it took months to recover. When you little, your body is still developing. So it took quicker time to recover." I followed her to the stairs. She looked back and reminded about what Rarity had said.
"We're going to out to buy you new clothes. Best to go get your coat." she soon went downstairs to the foyer. I went to my room (the guest room) to fetch my coat. I only began to wonder if I'll ever get home... I have to go ask Twilight about it....
I came down the stairs with my coat on and I saw Twilight and her friends ready to go. I walked next to her as she began to walk toward the door. The sun shined brightly as I felt it's warmth. We all walked to the square. And I was amazed at the buildings. It was so old fashioned and almost related to Dutch styled houses. Most of the citizens stared at me. Some were amused and some were scared. I even heard murmurs of them say "what kind of creature" am I or "where did it came from." We finally got to a clothes shop. They already had clothes up preparing for Heart's and Hooves Day?. The shoppers only stared at me and the group as we got to the men's section of the store.
"Alright, I guess you can pick out what clothes you need." Twilight spoke up
I began to pick out the usual. T-shirts, sweaters, long sleeves, flannels, shorts and jeans. We soon purchased the clothes that I needed and we then walked into a shoe store. I bought some sneakers, a pair of black boots, slippers and sandals. We purchased that and then went to another store, and another and another until I was tired. I got all I needed. We all stopped be this place Pinkie Pie owns called Sugarcube Corner to eat. There we began to talk and get to know each other. Twilight is a big book reader and like to keep things organized, which Rainbow Dash sometimes call her an egghead.
Rainbow is athletic. She mostly flies and is a weather controller. She told me about how the weather is controlled by the pegasi, which what she was. She lives up in the sky in a town called Cloudsdale. Pinkie Pie is a friendly pony and she knows how to make someone smile. Not only that, she is a baker at Sugarcube Corner, which is also her home.. Applejack works at her farm called Sweet Apple Acres and there she lives with her big brother, little sister and grandmother. She even invited me to come and visit once spring begins. Fluttershy is one of the nicest I have ever met. She's timid, but quite friendly and big at heart. She lives just near the Everfree Forest. She lives with animals, and she is a big animal lover. Always caring for them.
Finally Rarity was left. She lives at a place called The Carousel Boutique. She is a fashionista and loves to make clothing. She told me to come by there so she can get started on my wardrobe. They all talked about their cutie marks, which holds their special talents. I soon showed them my watch and phone and they were just amazed by it. For a good 2 hours we spent time talking and soon we began to head back to the castle. I began to think if my stay in this world would be temporary. I began to feel a sort of guilt for having them pay all these clothes for me. We soon got to the Castle. They settled all my new clothes in my room. I then asked Twilight on what was on my mind for the pass 4 hours... I waited till night fall. Twilight had just finished showering. She wore a light yellow night skirt and that when I made my move.
"Twilight, can I ask you something..." she looked at me and she knew from the tone of my voice that something was not quite right.
"Yes, is there something wrong, Marcelo?" I walked into my room as she followed. I sat on my bed and so did she. "What is it that you want to tell me?"
"I want to go home..." I spoke to her with a heavy heart. She knew what I was talking about and she frowned slightly.
"You want to go back to your world?" she looked at me as I nodded yes. I wanted to go home back to my family and friends. It was been at least 2 days since I came here and I bet my parents informed the police about my whereabouts. I only sighed I felt my tears beginning to build up. This was a nice place, but my heart was saying "Its about time we go home. I began to have thoughts that I may return to Jersey... "I miss my family, they are probably worried sick about me. Please Twilight, I need to get home..." she placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled
"Don't worry, Marcelo. I'll help you get home." she then hugged me. I felt my spirits raise up and glad that Twilight was going to help me get home. She soon left my room, leaving me with happy thoughts of being around my family.
~~~~~~~~Twilight's Castle/ Twilight's POV~~~~~~~~
Hearing Marcelo say those words "I want to go home." stuck to me. I felt dread and I decided to help him get back to his world. I told Spike to sleep in another guest room, since I was going to burn the midnight oil. I grabbed my coat and went to location where I found him.
