A New World
Chapter 3: Interaction
Previous Chapter Next ChapterWOOHOO! Good reviews feel good! Thank all of you for your support! I hope you enjoy the new chapter, but I just realized that I needed to watch season 2, so that may slow me down a LITTLE bit, but I still expect to get out at least two a week.
“Hey, um, are you okay?”
I hear a voice coming from the blackness, it sends throbbing pain through my body. I figure that this really isn’t a dream, as pain isn’t usually felt in dreams. I try to move my legs, but that sends even more pain through my system. It’s okay Danny, just take baby steps first.
I agree with my thoughts and try opening my eyes first; after all, sight is more important than movement. I struggle a bit on this too; it felt as if somebody had glued my eyes shut. I eventually get them open, and see a Rainbow mare standing over me with a look of concern on her face.
“Uhhhhhhhhh” I mumble, probably looking like a total idiot, “Yeah, I’m fine”
“Woah! You can talk!” Rainbow Dash (I already know their names, so I might as well use them) says, recoiling in shock, “Wh-what are you?”
“I’m a human from Earth” I say, the pain starting to fade already, “By the way, my name’s Danny Walters.”
“Huh?” She says, confused already, “What’s Earth? What’s a human? Are you going to hurt anypony? She spits the last line and puts herself into a battle stance.
“Woah, woah!” I am surprised that she is hostile already, “I’m not here to hurt anypony, and I don’t even know how I got here. Last night I was in my bed, this morning I woke up in Equestria. I have no plans to return to Earth, before you even ask.”
“Why wouldn’t you want to go back?” Rainbow asks, clearly confused by now, “Isn’t that your world?”
“I’ll explain that later,” I say, not wanting to scare my first opportunity at friendship here away with stories of gangs and war, “Could I have some help getting up?”
Dash extends a hoof, only to have it shrink back when she sees my hands.
“What are those?” She asks warily, “They look kind of like claws.”
“They are, just softer and with five fingers instead of four.”
“Oh” she says, clearly still wary of my appendages.
She extends her hoof for a second time, this time she allows me to grasp her hoof with my hand. When I do grasp it, she seems to relax a little, however, as if expecting it to feel different. I can’t say I don’t feel the same way.
Her hoof is a lot softer than what I thought it would be, it feels kind of like hard rubber. Much softer than a regular horse’s hoof. I kinda like how it feels, though.
Once she pulls me up, I fully see how tall she is. I am a little over five feet and she comes up where my heart would be, so I’m guessing around a little over 3’6”. A bit taller than what I expected, but still short enough to make the name My Little Pony appropriate.
Dash isn’t surprised that I am taller than her, though, and doesn’t even recoil at my height, which surprises me a little. Cool, I don’t scare her! Yeah!
Now that I am up, I can get a picture of the damage she did to me in the crash. I take off my hoodie and pull off my shirt to see if I have any injuries. I see some scrapes, bruises, and cuts on my chest, nothing too bad, no broken bones or anything. Then I remember that she hit me in the FACE. Oh, god. This probably won’t be pretty.
This whole time, Dash was staring at me. I looked back at her and saw shock in her eyes, probably because of my body.
I pull my cell phone out of my pants pocket and turn it off. Staring at the black screen, I can see a large gash across my face, thin but long. Damn, I’ll have to treat this when I get home.
“Hey,” I hear Dash say weakly, “Sorry about running into you like that. I kinda lost control on that turn and well…”
I put my shirt back on and wrap my hoodie around my waist, as it was starting to get warmer now that the sun was coming up.
“No problem. Everypony makes mistakes.” I say in a compassionate tone, “Hey, how about we go to Ponyville, I want to get to know my new neighbors if I’m going to be living here.”
“Okay Danny.” Dash says cheerfully, happy to have been forgiven so soon, “By the way, my name’s Rainbow Dash; Fastest flier in all of Equestria!”
“Well, we better get going,” I tell her, “I’ll tell you a little bit about my world along the way.”
I finished this chapter in ‘Ten Seconds Flat’-Rainbow Dash. To all you haters out there ‘I Just Don’t Give A Fuck!’-Eminem. I’m going to pump these chapters out fast; I might even get another one done today! Who knows, I just wanted to separate them based on events. ‘wubwubwubwubwub’-Any Dubstep Song. Quotes FTW.
