Chapter 4: "Modesty"

Previous Chapter Next Chapter
"Modesty"

"By the Goddesses, don't let it be something horrible." Twilight prayed that was the case. She had no idea how a human would react to the Poison Joke or if the cure for it would even work.

"Jonathan! Are you alright?" Rainbow hollered. If something bad had happened to him, it would be because of her and her hastily carried out prank. Fluttershy's mind was occupied watching out for the blue flowers.

"WHAT THE HELL!?" The loud shout scared the trio to a halt. The pink-mained pegasus fell over like stiff-legged goat and the other two just kept looking forwards.

"At least he's still breathing." Rainbow said slightly relieved. "But he doesn't seem to be very happy about it."

"Come on! We have to check if he's okay!" Twilight wrapped the scared stiff pegasus in her magic and started to run again, Rainbow following right behind her.

***

"Urgh.."

Jonathan's mind went dark for a few seconds after he saw the blue plants. He woke up laying on the ground, next to the blue flowers. Lifting himself up, he noticed something was off. He could feel the cold air on every inch of his body. His mind started to drown in the embarrassment-avalanche. He let out a disturbed scream.

He was completely naked.

"WHAT THE HELL?"

***

"Jonathan! Are you al.." Twilight stopped running as she saw the human standing behind a bush, covering his most of his body. "..right?" She set herself down, panting, being exhausted from the long sprint and glad he appeared to be alright. Fluttershy had regained her composure and she was now standing on her own hooves.

"Umm, Jon?" Rainbow started, looking at the cowering, redfaced human. "Why are you hiding behind a bush?"

"And why are you blushing?" Fluttershy continued.

"I.. I really don't want to talk about it." He could barely answer.

Rainbow just stood there, thinking what he could've meant with that.

"You're naked aren't you?" Twilight and Rainbow both were surprised when the sentence came from Fluttershy. "Don't worry, I'll be right back." She took off with her wings and headed towards her cottage.

Twilight was still trying to catch her breath. She tried to think why he'd be embarrassed, it was natural to not wear clothes, right? Rainbow had fell down to break out another batch of her signature laughs. Jonathan didn't say anything or do anything, he just stayed behind the dark green bush with his head sticking out from behind it, face red as the evening sun.

After a few minutes, Fluttershy came back with a huge piece of cloth. She flew over to Jonathan's bush and left the piece of cloth next to it. "Here you go." Her sweet caring voice as beautiful as ever. "Put that on, and we'll get you some real clothes. I know someone who can sew up something for you."

Jonathan grabbed the cloth and rolled it over his waist like a towel. It didn't warm him at all, but at least he wasn't naked anymore. "Umm, thanks." He said, face still hot red.

"You're welcome." Fluttershy responded with a warm smile. She then turned towards the sitting unicorn and still giggling pegasus. "Now, let's go back to Ponyville to see Rarity, if you don't mind.."

***

They all were now walking on the path back to Ponyville. Jonathan tried to keep himself warm by rubbing his hands and jumping around. The autumn air was too cold to only wear a towel.

"How did you know that?" Twilight asked from Fluttershy. She still didn't understand why he'd be embarrassed over something so normal.

"Know what?"

"That he wanted something to put on."

"Well, the small glance I got on him when he passed me earlier, I did see clothes on him." She said, recalling the sudden event. "And now that he suddenly didn't want us to see his body,  I thought he didn't have them on anymore."

Twilight stayed quiet, silently admiring her friend's thought process. Why hadn't she come up with that? The voice of Applejack ringed in her head. "Beg pardon Rarity, but uh, we don't normally wear clothes.."

"And so, I went back to my cottage to get one of those big pieces cloth Rarity gave me."

"That's, very smart thinking Fluttershy."

"Umm, thanks." Her pink mane fell slightly on her face as she blushed at the compliment.

***

Jonathan hadn't said anything during the whole trip. His mind was scrambling to understand where his clothes had gone, they were his only ones in this world after all. He still, however, couldn't shake the odd familiarity the blue plants and the forest had. Why did they feel so familiar? He had never seen or heard of them. "Dammit brain! Give me something solid already!"

"And why is Fluttershy so adorable?" Noticing what he was thinking, he quickly gave himself a mental shake. Every pony he had met to this minute while in here, felt somehow familiar. Twilight, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, even Nurse Redheart. Like he had seen them before, like he knew them to some degree, but everything seemed so vague he wasn't sure about what to feel at this point.

Before he knew, they had arrived at their destination.

"Here we are, at the.."

"Carousel Boutique." Jonathan continued Twilight's sentence again.

"What in the hay.. How'd you know that?" Rainbow said at the half-naked human.

"I just read the sign." He pointed at the standing sign next to the door. "See?"

"Oh, right." She said, rolling her eyes. "And stop continuing other ponies' sentences like that! It's getting creepy!" She snapped at him. "I've got to do some weather jobs, c'ya all later." After that, she took off to the skies.

Jonathan was left silent, he felt bad for the cyan pegasus. "Wow, I didn't know I was that creepy." He turned to look at the purple unicorn. "Sorry for interrupting you, twice." He said apologetically.

"It was indeed starting to get a little creepy." The purple unicorn answered neutrally. "Anyways, apology accepted." She continued with a smile. Jonathan felt relieved at the sight and smiled back.

"Umm, Twilight, if you don't mind, could we go in and see Rarity? So we can get Jonathan something warmer to wear? It's pretty cold out here and he's starting to shiver."

"Y-y-yes. That woul-d-d be ni-i-ice"
