Chapter 7: Ryan goes to Manehatten

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Twilight made her way out of the door and Frank made his way towards me. With all of this excitement going through my veins that I can finally use magic, made me wonder what will happen to me.

"So what happens now?" I ask.

"You are going to need magic lessons and I need to test my new spell. You game?" he said.

"What does this spell do, darling?" Rarity asked.

Frank glanced at her, "It takes a book and puts the information in to a ponies or in this case a human brain."

"So I don't have to take the lessons?" I asked.

Frank nodded.

"Alright give your first Guinea pig a shot."

Frank nodded again and put his two finger tips on my forehead. I felt something surging through my mind and in a flash all of this knowledge of how to use magic rushed through my head. Teleportation spell, levitation spell, sending letter spell and so many others filled my head. It all stopped when Frank took off his fingers. I slightly shuddered when all of the information settled in my noggin.

"How do you feel?" he asked.

"I feel pretty weird, but I felt a surge of knowledge was being put into my head."

"Then the spell was a success." He smiled.

"Can you do a simple levitation spell on that quill?" Rarity asked.

She pointed to the quill on the night stand right next to me. I looked at the quill and snapped my fingers. It instantly started to float and I twilled my fingers to my direction. The quill obeyed my command and it landed on my right palm. I snapped my left fingers and the quill teleported back to the night stand where it was before. I smiled with approval.

"This is AMAZING!" I said.

"Glad you like it."

"Thanks a lot man!"

"No problem."

"What about your other friends?" Rarity asked.

Frank scratched his head, "I need to see if the spell is long lasting. If you would be so kind and try to use magic as much as you can. Exhaust the hell out of it and don't tell anybody or pony about it. I will tell Twilight about it later on, but you two are the only ones who know this spell."

"We Pinkie Promise darling." Rarity said.

"Pinkie Promise?" I asked.

"Never break a Pinkie Promise." Frank said.

"Other wise you'll lose your friends..." Rarity trailed off.

As if on queue, Pinkie shouted, "FOREVER!!"

I jumped slightly and sighed, "Don't question it?"

Frank nodded.

"Alright..." I sighed again.


-The next day-

After being discharged at the Hospital; I was generally happy that I can use magic now. Now to fulfill Frank's wish by exhausting my magic. I decided to walk to the Ponyville park and practice there. I walked up to a tree and found another tree about twenty feet away from me. I look at the tree and snapped my fingers. I instantly teleported to the tree, but slammed my head against the log. Doing this made me fall to the ground and groan in pain. This was nothing compared when I got my cutie mark, but it ranked second place on the pain chart. After that teleport I felt magically exhausted which I never thought I would feel like that in my life. It must be because I used too much magic or the hit on the head gave me a concussion. I shrugged off the possibilities and decide to get to work on my other concept art at the Boutique.

Once I got to the Boutique, I see Sweetie Belle doing some paperwork with Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. They introduced themselves to me on the second day of work and called themselves 'The Cutie Mark Crusaders'. Sweetie Belle had mistaken me as Frank and got scared, which was the reason why she ran away. Apple Bloom and Scootaloo knew about Aston and Logan because Rainbow Dash and Applejack introduced them. I was surprised to find that they were comfortable around me. I don't know why I was surprised, but it must be something about this world that keeps things exciting.

"Hey Ryan!" They said in unison.

"Hey girls, what are you doing over there?" I asked.

"We're doing our homework." Apple bloom said.

"Need any help?"

"Nah, we're good. We're almost done as well." Scootaloo said.

"My sister needs you in her room for a 'talk'." Sweetie Belle said.

"Sounds like you're in trouble." Apple Bloom said.

"I would be in trouble if I was in the hospital all day." I said.

I made my way to the stairs while the fillies were giggling away with their school work. I got to Rarities door and knocked three times.

"Come in!" she shouted.

'She doesn't sound angry.' I thought.

I opened the door and walked inside, "Hey Rarity. You needed something for me?"

She turned around and sighed, "This is going to be your first task as my assistant. I need you to go to Manehatten tomorrow and help out Coco Pummel with some clothing ideas."

"Whoa. I get to go to Manehatten already?" I asked.

She nodded, "I know you just got out of the hospital and I am not pushing you to do your work. This will be also a side vacation if you complete five concept art clothing for mares or stallions."

I tapped my chin, "Everything will be paid for?"

"More or less."

"Where will I be staying?"

"At Coco's place. I informed her that your coming and she'll be happy to take you in for a few days."

"Alright, I'll get an over night bag ready and get to work on the concept art."

She smiled, "You do have a wild imagination to be released don't you darling."

"You wouldn't believe it."


-Next day-

Rarity and I made it to the Ponyville train station, which was quiet, but I didn't care because I was excited to visit another part of Equestria by myself. I informed Frank that I was going and he told me to be careful around the ally ways. 'Yeah I don't need a repeat of what happened last time.' I thought. I almost got mugged the last time I went to a major city like Tokyo, but the police were there and stopped the crook. My memory was interrupted by a train whistle in the distance and a ringing bell. My jaw dropped on how the Train looked. It was like my little sister's play set. I looked away when the train came to a halt and released it's steam into the platform.

"Next stop Manehatten!" The conductor shouted.

"Here's your ticket for the trip and another ticket for the way back." Rarity said giving me golden tickets.

"Now your just joking..." I whispered.

I remembered clearly what song I can put this into play which touched my inner child. I couldn't hold it in I held my deep breath trying to swat it away, but it was futile.

"Darling whats wrong?" she asked.

-Music-

I never thought my life could be anything but catastrophe
But suddenly I begin to see a bit of good luck for me
Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye
I never had a chance to shine never a happy song to sing,
But suddenly half the world is mine what an amazing thing
Cause I've got a golden ticket.
It's ours Charlie!
I've got a golden sun up in the sky.

"Who's this Charlie fellow?" she asked bewildered.

Some ponies for some reason knew this song for some reason and were joining the fun.

I never thought I'd see the day when I would face the world and say,
"Good morning. Look at the sun." (Everypony cheered.)
I never thought that I would be slap in the lap of luxury
Cause I have said it couldn't be done
But it can be done.

I was then given a cane and I started to dance like Johnny Depp from the Alice and Wonderland movie.

"Here I go!" I cheered, "Watch my speed!" I chuckled. Then I almost fell by hitting the pole, but Rarity helped me on my feet.

I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy,
But nevertheless it's there that I'm shortly about to be
"Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with the golden ticket it's a golden day." (Everypony cheered.)

Everypony followed me around and was bouncing like Pinkie while Rarity just smiled and trotted beside me.

Good morning! Look at the sun!
Cause I have said, "It couldn't be done"
"But it can be done." (Everypony Cheered.)

I never dreamed that I would climb over the moon in ecstasy,
But nevertheless it's there that I'm shortly about to be
Cause I've got a golden ticket.
"Cause I've got a golden ticket.
I've got a golden chance to make my way
And with a golden ticket it's a golden day." (Everypony finished.)

Everypony clapped their hooves and I headed for the Train with my new hat and cane. I waved to everypony, said goodbye to Rarity, as the Train blew it's final whistle and started to move it's metal wheels. I sighed with relief because I haven't broke into song since I was 12. I look over the horizon and smiled. 'Manehatten is going to be fun.' I thought.


-Discords point of view-

"What do you mean you won't co-operate?" I asked.

The negotiator, Monsoon, sighed, "Discord; these humans could be a danger to our kingdom."

"Why is that? If you don't mind me asking."

The King spoke, "I have gotten news that Celestia acquired a Royal Strategist and the last time I heard the description: it was meant for war purposes."

"I assure you, Jayden doesn't have anything against Griffons or your empire. I can just ring up Frank and he can explain it to you all."

"We all know of Frank's residency. We just need to know how many humans are currently on Equestria." Monsoon demanded.

I sighed, "Fine. If you must know there are only six humans in Equestria."

"If it's not too much trouble to ask; how many humans are on their planet?" The king asked.

I tapped my chin, "Last time I asked, which was the first time, there are a total of 7 billion and counting your majesty."

Monsoon's eyes widened, "You must be joking. The Griffon empire can only hold 2 billion residences."

I chuckled, "Yes, I was hysterical at first too, but he showed me this."

Snapping my fingers revealed a 'World Wide Count Report' paper. I levitated it to the King and he quickly skimmed it over.

"My god... How can their planet even survive under the weight of so much subjects?" he asked himself.

I cleared my throat, "They have space explorations and are having colonies being built on other planets."

"I'll take your word for it that I believe you." Monsoon said.

"So are we back to negotiations?" I asked.

"We will, but we require one thing." the king asked.

"What's that?"

"Give Jayden the Royal Strategist to me and we'll continue our negotiations." The king said.

"What if he says no?"

"Then nothing will be done to keep this land from going to war."


The next day -Ryan's point of view-

Sleeping on the bed of the cart wasn't too bad, but I had some familiar back pains from my old bed. The train provided breakfast, but again no bacon or sausage. It was the only thing that I disliked about Equestria; everypony was vegetarian and I didn't mind, but I was getting bored of green. After breakfast the conductor informed that we're approaching Manehatten. I looked out the window and the place was very similar to New York, but it was on a small island. I know that New York is on a small island, but this looked like a real island with huge bodies of water surrounding it.

We stopped at our train station and I made sure I packed everything in my overnight bag. I headed out the station and saw Coco Pummel sitting on a bench with her saddle bags sitting next to her. Rarity showed me a picture of what she looked like and I thought she was a very pretty pony. I walked up to her and cleared my throat.

"Are you Coco?" I asked.

She turned to face me, "Are you Ryan?"

I smiled, "The one and only."

She giggled, "Alright Ryan; I just have to tell you something before we go to my apartment."

"Shoot."

"My coltfriend, Sagi, is very suspicious of you and is very cautious when I am around new stallions or... You're called human right?"

"Yes I am."

'I wonder who was the luck stallion that was currently dating her. He must be a nice guy... Wait Sagi... Why does that sound so familiar?' I thought. I shook my head and continue to follow Coco to her apartment.

We made our way downtown and through central square. Everypony was minding their own business, but when I was walking with Coco, I was getting attention. I heard whispers in the background and I couldn't make out what their trying to say. We found a brick building that was ten stories high and next to it was a history museum. Coco had her apartment on the fifth floor which was fine for me. If it was on the tenth floor then there would be issues with my sides burning.

Inside her apartment was nothing really special. There was a living area with a window looking at the city blow us, a kitchen (which needed to be clean) and one bed room.... I set my bag on the couch and relaxed on it.

"I'll sleep on the couch." We both said in unison.

"That's sweet of you." We did it again.

"Um... I'll sleep on the couch. I don't really mind." I said.

"N-No, you're my guest and you get to sleep on the bed."

"As part of the manly code I cannot break it. I must let a lady sleep in her quarters."

She sighed, "You're sure?"

I nodded.

"Alright. I need to get some groceries for the both of us. I'll be right back." She said closing the door behind her.

I looked around the room. It was messy... 'RYAN CLEANING SYSTEM ACTIVATE!' I shouted in my head.


Seven trash bags filled up, three piles of dishes cleaned, floor all nice and sparkling, windows were all cleaned and the only room I didn't clean was Coco's room and her fashion room. Rarity told me if I ever cleaned anyone's fashion room, I would be greatly punished.

I sighed as I lye down on the couch and looked out the window. The sky was very clear and when I was about to fall asleep I heard somepony crying up the stairs. I got up and the door burst open with a broken down Coco. Her eyes were puffy red from crying, and she sprinted towards her room while dropping all the groceries. After I was done being shocked of what happened, I closed the door, picked up the groceries, set the items down on the table and walked towards Coco's room.

I sighed and knocked on it three times, "Coco?"

"Go away." she sobbed.

"No, I wont go away. You're hurt and I want to help out a friend."

There was silence and the door opened slightly. I made my way inside to see that Coco was all covered up in a blanket and was silently sobbing. I sat next to her and I put my hand on her head.

"Tell me what happened." I said.

Coco explained that Sagi cheated on her, he was kissing another mare and she was now heart broken. The next time I see this Sagi pony I will punch him in the mouth. Coco seemed like a nice mare and what does the guy do? He cheats on her; I just can't bare the amount of anger going through me, but it stopped because Coco needed attention.

"I think I'll never date again." She whined.

"Don't say that. There are other stallions out in Equestria."

"No there not."

I sighed and put my hand on her chin. She yelped, but I lifted up her head so we met eye to eye.

"See? I'm ugly..." I whimpered.

I wiped her tears away and smiled, "For what it's worth, I thought that you were a pretty pony and those words are true. Don't put yourself down because a stallion cheated on you because you are beautiful in my eyes."

She sniffed, "Y-You think so?"

I nodded and she leaned in a pecked my cheek. I didn't know how to respond, but I decided to return it by pecking her on the cheek.

"Feel better?" I asked.

"Can you... Hold me for a little while?" She asked.

'She needs moral support.' I thought.

"Sure."

Without hesitation she hugged me and I wrapped my hands around her body. I leaned towards the bed and we both fell on our sides. She giggled and I chuckled away. She must be feeling better and I am glad.


After the hugging session, Coco was impressed that I cleaned the place and respected her rooms. We made our way to the fashion industry which was three blocks away that is the same as Rarities Boutique. I worked on the first three concept arts and they were beautiful. I made filly dresses, specifically the CMC. I also made the dresses to where they could fit in an adult size. Coco was impressed by my drawing skills and I got started on Apple Blooms dress.

Coco gasped and hid herself away. I look towards the window and I saw a stallion standing at the door way. He had brown hair, really light yellow coat and had a cutie mark with a microscope. Coco crawled towards me and I noticed that she was on the verge of crying.

"That's... Him." she whimpered.

I petted her head, "You want me to take care of this?"

She nodded, "I need time to vent this out."

I nodded and walked up towards the entrance. I was going to be a gentlemen and ask him to leave the area.

"Hello. What can I do for you?" I asked.

"Yeah. Is Coco here?" He asked.

"Coco has the day off today and is on vacation." I lied.

He sighed and I glared at him, "Look I heard what happened and I wanted to tell you that you are worst than any kind of scum out there."

He snorted through his nostrils, "You can tell the slut that you can have her. Good day."

My anger almost clicked when he said that. I clenched my hand into a fist and he walked away from me. 'Good... He's gone.' I thought.

I made my way back inside to see Coco still hiding behind her desk and I knelt down to her eye level. She opened her eyes and slightly smiled.

"He's gone now. You want to head out?" I asked.

She nodded, "I think that will be great."


-One week later-

I think Coco and I have became a couple in the past few days. She never saw Sagi again and I thought that was a good thing. I finished off my last two concept art for one stallion and one for a mare. She loved my five concept arts and the way I used material for the clothing. I sent Rarity a copy of the concept arts via teleporting spell to her house and got comfortable with my special somepony.

She sat on the couch right next to me and I ran my hand through her mane. I got her head up and kissed her cheek and she pecked back.

"What do you want to do now?" she giggled.

"I won't be returning back to Ponyville anytime soon. I am on vacation and I can spend sometime with you."

"Aww. That's so sweet. How long until your vacation ends?"

Like on queue, a letter from Rarity popped in front of my face. Coco giggled and I booped her muzzle in response. I opened it and read the following:

Ryan,

Its wonderful that you and Coco are now so close. I am happy for what you did supporting her when she had her heart broken by that ruffian. I love your concept art and you will be on vacation for two weeks. I want you back so we can get to work on more concept art and Coco can come along too if she so pleases. Have fun you two!

From your friend,

Rarity

"Wow a two week vacation! Oh who in the world and am I going to spend it with?" I pondered.

"Oh stop it you. I'll spend time with you and I want to learn more about you and your world." She said.

I leaned in and kissed her forehead, "Thanks Coco."

She giggled, "Anytime."
