Chapter 1: Still Living, I Guess

You know, when you think about it, living as a human is a tedious task that you have to keep doing each day of your life.

Each day you eat, sleep, work, and repeat.

Weekends are no exception, since you either choose to stay home or spend 5-16 hours outside, doing whatever bullshit you do in your everyday lives.

Me, I want that life.

Not this one.

Not one bit.

Wanna know why? Fine, I'll tell you.

Ever since the attack on ponyville. Living conditions have gotten worse. Well, for me to be specific. Everyone despises me, they see me as some monster, and that was before the elder dragon attacked. Insults here, insults there, there have been many times where I've been called a fur-less diamond dog, like...really? I don't look that much like a dog anyways, from what I know, and I definitely don't have diamond on me, because if I did, I would've sold that shit faster than I could gloat with it.

I live alone, well, almost alone. I was kindly taken in by a yellow flying horse when I got here. That reminds me... How the fuck did I get here again? Oh and before you forget, my name is Raijin, as in Rye-Jin phonetically, not Ray-jin. My half-asian father had the decency to take my name from a japanese thunder god, for me, I was just happy that he didn't call me Raiden. That fanatic has been playing too much mortal kombat for my tastes.

Anyways, here I am, working in an apple orchard. The orange horse (or 'mare' as they prefer) who gladly gave me work was friends with the yellow one who I lived with. It wasn't tiring to say the least. Just bring the cart filled with baskets which were also filled with apples to the barn. Store them there. Take the cart out. Bring it to the horse who was 'bucking' the trees. Then repeat.

Pretty simple if you say so.

The red one, who was presumably the brother of the orange one, spoke very little and didn't ask questions about me every 5 minutes when we worked. I liked him.

The orange one was the complete polar opposite. But since I shouldn't be mean to the only person who allows me work, I'll just keep my mouth shut and answer them for the time being.

And then... There was the little one. She was quite timid when she saw me, hiding behind her big brother. Occasionally she'd bring me apple juice on my break, which I'd gladly accept. She was nice, so I was nice back.

Other than that. There were 4 other mares that I'd met over the course of my stay. They were white,pink,purple and cyan, the cyan one having a fucking rainbow for hair. Unfortunately, since I don't even know how I'm going to get out of this place, I'm going to be stuck with these miniature horses for a while, so I might as well get on good-ish terms with them if I'm going to be depending on them for a while.

The purple one asked me and the others to come to a Café to properly greet myself and them, to which I agreed to.

Hey, if I'm getting free food for just introducing myself, I'm fucking taking it, because I've had enough of eating anything apple-based for a while.

And so, we greeted ourselves.

Twilight was the purple one, Pinkie was the Pink one, Applejack was the orange one, Fluttershy I already knew since I lived with her, Rarity was the posh white unicorn who insisted in making clothes for me, and finally Rainbow dash was the technicolor asshole who was always on my case. I even got the name of Applejack's younger sister, who was Applebloom. Those 7 were the first to make me their 'friend'. It was okay I guess, better to have friends in this weird place than have none, especially when you're the only species there.

That was a year ago.

Just when everyone started to bear with my presence, in comes a fucking dragon out of nowhere to, and I quote 'Bring Equestria to an ice age' .

In comes an epic battle, yada-yada, and then they defeat him. I'll tell you about that later, because I'm not really ready to spill my memories to complete strangers. I meet two other mares during the battle, Celestia and Luna, who I preferred to call 'Sunbutt' and 'Moonbutt' from the bitchin' tattoos on their asses. They told me that in order to make sure that the elder dragon could be of no threat, they had to seal it away forever, as killing it will only cause an uproar to the dragon race.

And what's the best way to repay your debt whilst in the care of 'Ponyville?'

Sealing the dragon inside me, of course.

It's not like I could properly make myself a citizen and get a job to repay my debt.

It's not like I can just say thanks with utter gratitude to the ponies that took care of me for a while.

No, I have to be a goddamn cage for something that could pretty much freeze me inside out.

A flash of light later, and now I'm a host to an ice dragon.

And then I'm stuck in the castle of Canterlot to be 'observed if thy sealing worked.' I got to be a part of the 'Royal guard', which sounds cool, but that ended pretty badly, and I honestly don't wanna talk about it. At all.

I have to say though, there are SOME bright sides to this new hell I've been introduced to. I'm pretty much a Jinchūriki like in the show: Naruto. And boy, did I love that show. Maybe someday I could transform into something that's similar to tailed beast mode, though that's gonna be set somewhere in the very distant future, since I can't even get that dragon inside me to talk to me without calling me a 'peasant' in every sentence it makes.

There's that, and also the fact that I can use magic too, what with magical dragon mana flowing inside me and the one time I froze a filly with a tiara when Applebloom was being teased.

But, everything comes with a price. Remember when I mentioned that the horses/ponies of ponyville hated me for being different? Now they had two people two hate, in the same body. Everything just got progressively worse and worse the longer I lived.

And so, we're now in present time. Every day I receive death threats from the same people I meet in the streets every day, some even consider trying to beat me up, to no avail of course.

All I have now are 6 mares who are still my 'friends', and that young 'filly' named Applebloom.

I'm not even good friends with any of them except from Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity and Applebloom. That was because I actually depended on them. Rarity made me clothes, Applejack lets me have something to do for the entire day, Fluttershy gives me a home, and Applebloom for...uhh... moral support...I guess...?

I don't really get on with Twilight, she tries to make me do lessons on magic, which I despise doing. If I wanted to go to magic school, I would rather watch Harry Potter than spend an entire day with her. Then there's Pinkie, the one who's always hyped for something. I don't know what it is about her, but I'm keeping my distance.

Finally, Rainbow Dash take the prize of being the biggest asshole I've ever met (I said flankhole because she'd be more pissed, and she was), she's just like the people I meet on the streets, that is, if I'm the one to start the argument. She was the least friendly when I met her, and she still is even after a year. If she decides to act all nice all of a sudden to me because I do something good for once, she can go fuck herself.

Today I'm supposed to be going to a spa with them, Rainbow dash being reluctant as ever because 'it's for posh mares', which I turned the tables on her by calling her a dude, to which she promptly smacked me.

I gotta say, for a mare, she hurts. ALOT.

I walk towards the spa with 6 mares and a filly trailing me. Eyes darted to me as I motioned towards my destination. I'd gotten pretty used to ponies giving me stares of disgust, it was one of the reasons that made me into the cold (emphasis on the cold) bastard that I am. So whenever someone stared, I would glare at them instead until they looked away. Foolproof plan if you ask me.

"Maybe this spa can finally help you relax Rai." Twilight said.

"Let's send a male into a spa with 7 mares, good choice." Rainbow Bitch said.

"Go fuck yourself, Dash." I retorted.

Had I looked back to the mares, I would realise that they had tinges of red in their cheeks, probably from the comment that I made.

"Y-you really shouldn't say those words, jerk." Dash meekly replied.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sticking with it. Saying 'go buck yourself' doesn't seem that powerful enough.

"Rah, what does fuck mean?" Apple bloom asked with that southern accent of hers.

I know, I know. Adults are doing something wrong once childre-foals near them begin to say 'inapropriate' terms at such young ages.

Good thing I'm not an adult, in 2 months anyway.

"Rut." I said as I turned to them.

All the mares turned red whilst Applebloom tilted her head.

"Rut?"

"What your mommy and daddy did to make you." I said as I rolled my eyes.

"So Dash is gonna make foals with herself?" She looked at my eyes with that tilted head of hers. The red ribbon on her head almost fell off, but was barely held by the hair that clung to it.

Heh...you sneaky devil.

I swear, sometimes you're helping me out by teasing that flying horse, whether you know it, or not.

Rainbow Dash glares at the little filly, her rage caged barely as Applejack kept an eye on her actions. I chuckled lightly, picking up Applebloom in my arms as we dash forward to the nearby spa.

"Let's get in before you get eaten by a flying monster!" I screamed in mock terror. Applebloom giggled as she immediately catches wind of what I meant.

As we entered the spa, we were greeted by two ponies, one pink and the other blue. Their names were Aloe and Lotus, but I didn't really bother with which name belonged to whom, because frankly I don't give a flying fuck.

"Good morning Aloe!"

"Good morning Mistress Rarity!" The pink one said.

"I suspect that you've brought your friends and pet over?" The blue one asked.

Bitch.

"I'm not a pet."

"And what might you be then?" The blue one questioned with subtle amounts of hate.

"The host of the monstrosity that almost freezed your flank a few months ago." I blandly replied as I glared at the blue one.

Both mares widened their eyes at my answer, mouths agape.

"And I'd like it if you treated me as your customer."

"Y-yes, sir, my apologies." The pink one said.

The blue one scrunched up her muzzle as her brow furrowed, I guess that's what ponies look like when they pout.

"Well then, now that that is settled, may we have the usual?" Rarity asked.

"Yes mistress Rarity, right this way." The pink one led us towards a set of double doors whilst the other stayed behind, all the while glaring at me.

"We'll be starting with a massage for each of you, then you may all proceed to the Jacuzzi after. Will that be okay with you sir?" The pink one continued.

"Yeah, mistress?"

"Aloe."

Alright, so the pink one is Aloe.

She took us to a large room. It was filled with 10 massage tables. All of the were too short for me of course, since I was almost twice the size of most of the ponies here.

"Umm...Sir, may you please remove your...garments." Aloe whispered.

I stared at her in confusion, right when a stupid thought suddenly comes across my mind.

No-one has ever seen me in my underwear apart from my family.

Almost immediately, I felt a strange feeling to hide myself as all the mares and filly in the room looked at me, expecting me to remove my clothes. A rush of blood rose to my cheeks as I saw a certain technicolored bitch smirk at me.

"Hmmm, whats wrong uggo? not gonna show that hideous body of yours?"

I swear, Rainbow Dash, if I learnt any harmful magic I'll promise to use them on you as a target. Grumbling curses under my breath, I slowly removed my shirt. There were multiple times when I decided to cop out a quarter of the way through revealing my chest, to the point where I spent half a minute just moving almost a few inches off my shirt.

Mustering whatever courage I could still find, I completely removed my sapphire shirt to reveal the untold beauty of my amazing body.

Well, I call it amazing anyway, since it's my body, and not rooting for it just jabs even more inches of hurt into my self-esteem.

It was just plain average, which was something I would not have said before I came here. 2 years ago, there would be more packets of bulging fat around the waists of my sides than now. It was finally through the miracle of endless lifting of buckets of apples and a hellish diet of anything related to apples and the small garden of flowers inside Fluttershy's fridge that forced my cravings of meat to run away in terror.

Little by little did my hips begin to straighten out and make my waist more 'free' from all the fat that clung to it. I'm even trying to get one of those six packs I keep seeing in the gym in my time at Earth, and it's coming along well since I've got a faint, yet almost-noticeable abs slowly cultivating themselves below my pecs.

It's barely visible, but I'm proud of it, since it's a sign that I'm actually doing something to make myself better than my old self, who lounged around his room playing games and living on his pseudo couch-bed which was filled with pizza crumbs and whatever shit I could afford with my large allowance.

Waiting patiently, I tapped my feet at the idiots who eyed me strangely.

"Stallions look better than you, brah." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"Well, It's nice to see a change from your rather...obese appearance in the last year. And I mean that in the nicest way possible, darling." Rarity smiled.

"Look at that! Ah knew that you helping us out would make ya more of an Earth pony!" Applejack grinned foolishly.

"I doubt that I could ever be as strong as one of you anyway, that's a matter of fact." I muttered.

Welp, this day just got better.

Maybe having these ponies as friends are beneficial. I should keep them to cheer me up, sans Rainbow at the very least.

Now, onto the massage.
