Pretty mare, pretty mare
-
2.
One who hops, devil-may-care
-
3.
One whose breath I gladly share
-
4.
While I sleep, how do you fare?
-

-
6.
Pretty mare, petty mare
-
7.
My smile widens just a hair
-
8.
A rousing kiss, a horse so fair
-
9.
Soft, with tickly whiskers there
-
10.
-
11.
Mornings do I feel despair
-
12.
My cupboard lay plain and bare
-
13.
Lyra, my oats, will you forswear?

>Bird Ponies are behind schedule to no one's surprise.
-
20.
>You pull your collar up over your mint colored fur scarf.
-
21.
>Those cloud trotters better hurry up.
-
22.
>If your everything weren't so sore, you'd start yelling and chucking garbage at them.
-
23.
>Lazy niggers.
-
24.
>The rest of the town is taking it easy after a job well done despite the lingering chill.
-
25.
>You included.
-
26.
>Upon seeing how well you helped Lyra shed her coat, their Earth pony leader whisked you away from your spot in front of the fireplace.
-
27.
>You had kicked and reee’d at the dirt ponies.
-
28.
>They explained the holiday to you, that ponies wanted to be out here shoveling a village's worth of snow and being hitched to plows.
-
29.
>You didn’t buy it.
-
30.
>Snoots scrunched when you kept calling their holiday "horse gulag."
-
31.
>A special vest was thrown on you, purple with a little brush patch crudely stitched in.
-
32.
>Your job on horse gulag was pony coat grooming.
-
33.
>As it turns out just like nature itself, pony winter coats don't fall out naturally like they do on God's green Earth.
-
34.
>It was an entire week of wiggly horse lips, nickering, and ponies trying to turn around to groom you back.
-
35.
>Tough work, but someone had to do it.
-
36.
>On the plus side, Some of the townsfolk that were skittish around you are now much friendlier.
-
37.
>Some had even left you flowers, apples, and carrots as thanks, which Lyra took a big liking to.
-
38.
>Not to mention you have enough loose pony fur to make an entire wardrobe for next winter.
-
39.
>Lyra herself was on animal duty again.
-
40.
>It's a running joke that, to the ponies, your own gestures are so animal-like, ponies naturally assume she is great with them.
-
41.
>But you know she's got a big soft spot for nature.
-
42.
-
43.
>Which brings you to the present.
-
44.
>Both of you decide to leisurely stroll through White Tail instead of the usual galavant troublemaking.
-
45.
>Lyra seems to be fine in the cold without her winter coat, being from a mountain.
-
46.
>Though you know she's going to pretend later to get cuddles.
-
47.
>Overall she seems pretty fatigued too, going without the usual pep in her trotting.
-
48.
>Her eyes, nose, and a stray poking tongue, check out some of the grass sprouts coming in.
-
49.
>Ears swivel to the first bird sounds heard in months.
-
50.
>Your eyes and ears however, are on her sleeker form and the rhythmic sound of her hooves.
-
51.
>Here's something to be said about a unicorns gait.
-
52.
>Even tired, the way she trots is calculated, nimble.
-
53.
>Very unlike the yokel hick ponies around here.
-
54.
>Her posture both seems rigid, and square, yet both relaxed with a graceful rhythm of motion only a trained dancer could achieve.
-
55.
>Her head is tilted slightly up, something only seen in Canterlot.
-
56.
>To the average lowland pony it seems snobbish, even to the locally raised unicorns.
-
57.
>For polite Canterlot society it's considered rude to point your horn at anyone, even accidentally, so the muzzle tilts up.
-
58.
>To the untrained eye, no one would even know she was tired.
-
59.
>Any man would feel like a stumbling toddler in comparison.
-
60.
>“Hey, Anon?” a honeyed voice starts to say.
-
61.
>Lyra’s ears moving back to focus on you.
-
62.
”Yeah, Lye?”
-
63.
>She whickers stopping to look back at you, “Pull my tail,”
-
64.
>...
-
65.
"No."
-
66.
>"Come on, Anon. It'll be really funny!"
-
67.
>”Not falling for it.”

>A loud boom rings through the throne room.
-
73.
>Like a low thunderous gong, the throne door reverberates.
-
74.
>It slams over and over, the hinges threatening to give.
-
75.
>The guards quickly take formation, and await your orders.
-
76.
"Let them in."
-
77.
>Without hesitation, they do so.
-
78.
>Ahh, Mister Anonymous, the local Humane.
-
79.
>You suppress a sigh, and give your sister a look.
-
80.
>She seems confused, likely because she hasn't had the pleasure of meeting him before.
-
81.
>He's a nice stallion.
-
82.
>Perhaps some radical views here and there but it's to be expected from an alien.
-
83.
>You do hope nopony has offended him too greatly.
-
84.
>Aside from his "casual" garments he's clad in a multicolored patchwork of gambeson, as well as a marvelously made mint green fur scarf and beanie.
-
85.
>He brandishes a sledgehammer, his breath is ragged.
-
86.
>There was a crazed look in his eye.
-
87.
>You've seen this, "red-eyed" look from some minotaurs in the far past.
-
88.
>The guards look about ready to rush him but with a curt gesture of your wing, they're at ease.
-
89.
>Anonymous may be large and intimidating, but he’s not one to hurt a pony.
-
90.
-
91.
>In fact, you've gotten reports about little stirrups he's made about this time every year.
-
92.
>It's usually before Winter Wrap Up.
-
93.
>A direct assault on the castle is new though
-
94.
>His frown deepens and a tiny nose scrunches.
-
95.
>He doesn't stop walking until he's about 11 trots away from you and your sister.
-
96.
>Now that he’s close enough to see the white of his knuckles as he grasps the sledge hammer, his clothing gambeson and all seem to be made of pony fur.
-
97.
>Curious.
-
98.
>With a signature warm smile and a soft nicker, you greet him.
-
99.
"Why, Anonymous, how nice of you to vis-."
-
100.
>"What do I have to do to bring Nightmare Moon back."
-
101.
>Your sister's wings flare out, her eyes widening.
-
102.
>"Excuse us?"
-
103.
>He points the hammer at her.
-
104.
>"I'll beat it out of you if I have to, Moon butt."
-
105.
>Luna scoffs, her confusion quickly turning to anger.
-
106.
>Her wings slightly retract, her feathers standing on end as she quickly gets into Anonymous's face.
-
107.
>"Chooseth thine next words wisely, creature. Our past mistakes are not to be made a mere jest."
-
108.
>She greeted with a low growl.
-
109.
-
110.
>You slowly stand up, nuzzling under your sister's jaw, a wing gently draped over her back.
-
111.
>"I'll take it from here, Luna."
-
112.
>Her snout scrunches and her ears pin, looking between your, and Mister Anonymous.
-
113.
>Sure enough she steps back, with a harumph.
-
114.
>You walk up to Anonymous, reaching up to nuzzle the side of his face.
-
115.
>"I want those winter coats back, and I want them now."
-
116.
"I see."
-
117.
>"Twiggy Niggy told me the phases of the moon makes the winter coats happen."
-
118.
>You nod, smiling up at Anonymous.
-
119.
>If it's anything you've learned through centuries of diplomacy with other races is that they see ponies as "cute" and you use it to your full advantage.
-
120.
>His posture relaxes if only for a second.
-
121.
>"I want to snuggle Lyra and get lost in her coat."
-
122.
>Right, one of your former graduates, Lyra Heartstrings, has made leaps and bounds of progress in teaching Anonymous the magic of friendship.
-
123.
>You couldn’t be prouder.
-
124.
>With a nod, you use your magic to give a light tug on the sledge hammer.
-
125.
>There's some resistance but he lets go.
-
126.
>You are sure to keep it within his range, so he doesn't panic and lash out.
-
127.
"Why don't you tell me all about it over some Tea, Mister Anonymous?” You say, turning to your assistant. “Raven, I'm sorry but I must end day court early, I hope you don't mind rescheduling the last few appointments?"
-
128.
-
129.
>If she's frustrated, she doesn't show it, instead marking off a few things in her scroll.
-
130.
>"Already done, princess."
-
131.
>You should invite Anonymous more, if it means getting some extra time to relax.
-
132.
>Flashing Raven a thankful smile, you gently nudge the human with a wing.
-
133.
"Don't you have something to say, Anonymous?"
-
134.
>You nod to your sister who still seems upset.
-
135.
>He grunts, his lips wriggling.
-
136.
>"Sorry, Luna," he mumbles softly
-
137.
>Mare, you've still got it.
-
138.
-
139.
>End
-
140.
-
141.
>You give the humane a squeeze under your wing, following up with a nuzzle.
-
142.
>He might be a little taller than you, but right now he seems as small as a newborn foal.
-
143.
>Who would have known he was this distressed over some lost fur.
-
144.
>Maybe it has something to do with him not having any at all.
-
145.
>A slam echoes through the hallway.
-
146.
>Ohh my, another interruption.
-
147.
>"Anon, you're in so much-!" Sweetie- no, Bon-Bon grumbles, stopping once she notices you.
-
148.
>Lyra bounds in excitedly after her, "Hey, Anon did ya' get her?"
-
149.
>The unicorn pauses, looking outside to the sun still hanging low in the sky.
-
150.
>"I guess not." She giggles bounding up into Anonymous' lap.
-
151.
>You expertly catch his cup with magic, settling it neatly on the table.
-
152.
>She reaches up to give him a strangely angled neck hug.
-
153.
>You can almost see the humane's blood pressure lower.
-
154.
>He’s smiling for the first time since he's paid you a visit.
-
155.
>Anonymous, or Anon, replies in kind by wrapping his arms around her.
-
156.
>"Hey, princess!"
-
157.
"Hello, Lyra. It's good to see you again."
-
158.
>Bon-Bon comes slower, and looks at you apologetically before bowing.
-
159.
>"I'm so sorry princess. I'll take responsibility for any damaged property."
-
160.
-
161.
>You humm, letting it hang in the air.
-
162.
>Does this stem from her not growing as much as you thought she would?
-
163.
>Is Anon just another monster to be monitored or...
-
164.
>"I ain't in trouble, dirt kicker." Anon grunts slightly leaning over to pat her head.
-
165.
>Dirt kicker?
-
166.
>That's a more modern tribal slur isn't it?
-
167.
>Oddly, Bon-Bon's grumpy exterior cracks for a fraction of a second.
-
168.
>If you weren't over a millennia old, you might have missed it.
-
169.
>So she is making new friends, and Anonymous too.
-
170.
>That's wonderful to see.
-
171.
>Everyday Lyra impresses you more and more.
-
172.
>It’s difficult to imagine what these two would be like without her.
-
173.
>Ohh, Bon-Bon looks like she's about to lose it.
-
174.
>You can't help yourself sometimes.
-
175.
>A wing moves to tickle Bon-Bon’s snoot, causing it to scrunch.
-
176.
"There's no trouble, Anon came for tea. Isn’t that right?”
-
177.
>You give the humane a smile and another nudge with the wing, before folding it back in.
-
178.
>The humane blinks. "Uhh, yeah. You want some, Bon?"
-
179.
>She looks unsure at the two of you, then slowly nods.
