>It was an ordinary day in your little podunk town of Blossomvale
-
>There wasn’t much to do, not much going on at all
-
>Well, apart from the tulip festival
-
>It was an annual event that the locals used to fleece the tourists
-
>They’d all come in, get wow’d by the ‘pretty flowers’, and the florists would charge them out the rear for a bouquet that probably wouldn’t last their drive back home
-
>You were one of these florists of course
-
>”Hey Jess, busy day today?”
-
>Rob approached your stand at the local festival, a smirk from ear to ear, his eyes crinkling
-
“Eh… Not really. Pretty slow, honestly.”
-
>God, you crushed on Rob so hard
-
>He crossed his arms, and cast his gaze around all the other stands
-
>The crowd wasn’t at its peak for the week yet, stragglers were coming in here and there, but later it would definitely get busy
-
>”Yeah… Yeah… Not really busy.”
-
>He looked straight at you then
-
>And you looked straight at him
-
>”So, anyways, me and Amber were thinking about going down to the Clover later, wanna come?”
-
>Amber
-
>That was the worst part, Rob had a girlfriend
-
“Yeah sure! I’d love to come. Haven’t seen Amber in a minute.”
-
>Amber
-
>Yeah sure she was cool, and nice, and definitely Rob’s type
-
>Ugh
-
>”Great! Hey, catch you on your way outta here, yeah?”
-
“Yeah.”
-
>And with that he was walking away, hands in his pockets, rubbernecking at all the different flower stands
-
>You leaned forward with a sigh and put your chin in your palm, elbow against the wood of the stand
-
>Too slow of a day
-
>Nobody was even coming by your stand!
-
>It was rough
-
>Oh well, at least you’ll get to see Rob and… Amber… Later when you’re off
-
-
>A few hours must’ve gone by, but the day was still only halfway over
-
>You nearly fell asleep a few times as you sat there
-
>When you were in high school– If someone was caught doing what you were doing?
-
>The teacher would typically scare them, and the student would headbutt the desk
-
>Everyone would laugh
-
>”Well hello there miss!”
-
>WHAM
-
>You headbutted the table and then quickly gathered yourself
-
“Oh, uh, oh jeez. That’s my bad.”
-
>You coughed, clearing your throat, blushing
-
>You looked up at the man who spoke to you–
-
>He had a wide eyed, toothy smile
-
>It sorta reminded you of the cheshire cat
-
>And his eyes…
-
“Uh… How can I help you?”
-
>You tried to regain composure by brushing a lock of hair between your ear, trying to smile nonchalantly
-
>The man leaned forward, just slightly
-
>”Oh my dear, easily startled, are we?”
-
>You had a terrible habit of being easy to scare, that was true, but you weren’t even expecting this!
-
>Being at work and all, and almost falling asleep
-
“Well… No not–”
-
>”Quite alright, quite alright. Here, say we help you overcome your fear of… Circumstance, shall we?”
-
>What?
-
“Well… Look man, I’m not–”
-
>You raised your hands defensively
-
>And then he raised his hands, or… One hand
-
>And then snapped his finger
-
>You blinked, and he was gone
-
>Very quickly, you found that you had lost all of the balance you thought you had before
-
>With a caterwaul, you tilted back from your seat and landed with an ‘Oomph’ on your back
-
“God… What the hell…”
-
>Did that guy precision deliver like… Fentanyl dust or something?
-
>Were you dying right now?
-
>Is this what dying feels like?
-
>No, wait, your eyes were closed
-
>And nothing felt right
-
>You felt dizzy, incredibly dizzy, and you weren’t sure why
-
>Why would you feel dizzy?
-
>Is this anxiety?
-
>WERE YOU HAVING AN ANXIETY ATTACK?!
-
>ARE YOU PANICKING!?
-
>You felt yourself breathing heavier, and heavier, quicker, faster
-
>And then your eyes snapped open to a sky blue sky
-
>Clouds floated above you, closer to the ground than you remembered them being
-
>Reflexively, you went to brush a lock of your hair– To soothe the nerves
-
>The appendage that came up in front of your face did little to calm you down
-
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!”
-
-
>You shrieked, you cried out, you wailed
-
>What in the name of the LORD was that?!
-
>You stared at it after your outburst– Was it a-a-a hoof?
-
>No! Hooves don’t look like that!
-
>It was like a hot pink stump, with fur!
-
>Where was your hand?!
-
>Where were both of your hands?!
-
>You quivered there, staring at your trembling… Things
-
>As it turns out, you wouldn’t be alone for very long
-
>Footsteps? No, hoofsteps approached you rapidly–
-
>”Lily? Lily! What’s wrong!”
-
>”We heard you yell! Is there a monster?! Was it… Discord again?”
-
>You weren’t even sure you wanted to look at them, but look you did
-
>Your head practically creaked as it turned, and you found yourself face to face with two bonafide… Pony… Creature… Things
-
>They sure were cute.
-
>And that was the last thing you thought about as you nodded off– Into the black
-
>You came to a few minutes later– You were still on the ground there, laying down, but you must’ve been moved a little
-
>You felt more comfortable in this position
-
>Plus, it felt nice having a damp rag over your forehead
-
>This was really nice, actually
-
>Did you faint? You’ve never fainted before, not ever
-
>”Oh! Lily! You’re awake! Oh thank goodness, Orchid and I were so worried!”
-
>You turned your head, a sleepy smile probably plastered on your face
-
>Pony
-
>A cream colored mare, but not a mare, it was impossible to describe
-
>She looked so expressive, so intelligent, so worried
-
>”Lily… Why are you looking at me like that?”
-
>Wait
-
>Was she talking to you?
-
“Are you… Talking to me?”
-
>The cream colored pony’s eyes widened, her pupils becoming pinpricks
-
>Then she took a deep inhale, and closed her eyes
-
>”OOOOOORCHIIIID! LILY HAS AMNESIA AGAAAAAIIIIN!”
