>Be Rainbow Dash
>It was late
>Celestia's sun was about to go down
>You were flying near Sweet Apple Acres, just finishing up destroying some stray clouds before you went home
>As you were about to buck the last of them, you saw somepony sitting against a tree
>Somepony that didn't look much like a pony at all
>Destroying the cloud, you flew down to see who it was
>For a second, you were worried that it was a diamond dog
>Applejack had had issues with them before, coming in and stealing things
>Thankfully, it wasn't any of those filthy mutts
>Instead it was that strange alien
>Anon
>He was snoozing away, covered in sweat and dirt
>Recently, Big Mac had given him a job on the farm
>He hadn't wanted it, said something about wanting an important job
>He was an alien, he could improve your lives, yada yada
>You all knew better and Twilight, his caretaker, had gently, but firmly sent him off to work
>A colt's place was in the fields or in toil after all
>Anon would be so much happier farming or woodworking than trying to do mare's work
>Too much thinking
>He would get frustrated
>Sure enough, he took to farm work like a pig to mud
>His stamina wasn't completely up to par yet though, hence why you found him snoozing
>As adorable as he looked sleeping, and as much as you wanted to leave him alone, it was starting to get cold outside
>Applejack would kill you if she found out you just left one of the farmer's employees outside to get sick
>So, landing right next to him, you began to nudge the giant
"Anon, sweetie, come on. Get up. You can't sleep here."
>Slowly, Anon stirred awake
>He looked up at you, blinking owlishly
>"Rainbow?" he said, voice groggy
"Yeah, it's me. Come on, lets get you home. Twilight's probably where you are."
>You needed to keep him focued
>You knew how ditzy colts could get
>If you weren't careful his mind would just wonder and it'd take all night to get him back to the castle

>Thankfully, Anon seemed like one of the brighter colts, slowly getting to his feet at your urging
>He placed a hand on your back, allowing you to lead him toward town
>Twilight probably really was worried where he had gotten off to
>Princess Celestia had left him in her charge
>He might have been a alien, but he was still a colt
>You knew single mares were eyeballing him
>If Twilight wasn't careful somepony could mark him with their scent in no time at all
>You knew for a fact that some of the earth pony farmers were looking to add a colt to their clans
>Applejack said the Carrots had already offered Twilight a dowry
>If you were Twilight, you'd just mark the colt yourself
>Anon seemed like a nice stallion
>The nerd could really use one of those
>Heck, maybe she would
>She might even give him to one of the farmers
>When you dropped him off at the castle, a very relieved Twilight thanked you
>Anon himself gave you a pat on the head, since you enjoyed
>Pats were bucking rad

"Yes, just bring that over here, darling."
>Be Rarity
>You were outside of your shop, a crate full of cloth sitting outside of your door
>The mail ponies that had brought it hadn't time to help you bring it all in
>Apparently, some of the mail colts had gotten distracted
>Thank Celestia for Derpy
>How that mare is able to wrangle so many stallions is a mystery
>You weren't above moving it all yourself, colts work or not, but thankfully, you didn't need to
>Anon had been passing by, and immediately offered to help
>Twilight, who had been walking with him, had allowed the stallion too surge forward with a nod and a smile, which was very nice of her
>Anon now had a roll of silk in his hands, carrying it through your door
>You just watched him, making sure he didn't knock anything over in his excitement
>It was his day off from the farm you knew, yet he still wanted to work
>Colts truly were built for labor in mind you supposed
"I do really appreciate this, dear," you said as the stallion placed the silk down and went to fetch more. "You are a sweetheart."
>Anon just beamed at the praise, a pip in his step as he walked by you
>The reaction almost made you laugh
>No wonder the Carrots were so dead set on him
>So content, so easy to please
>Some ponies had been uneasy about him at first
>What with him being a giant alien and all
>But it was clear to see he was just a sweet colt
>As he bent down to pick up another roll, you couldn't help but eyeball his rump
>A few weeks working on the farm had helped him build up a considerable amount of muscle
>Not too much mind you
>You liked a lithe stallion, and that's what Anon appeared to be becoming
>Just a few more weeks and Twilight would be beating them away with a stick
>You made sure not to stare too long, you didn't want to upset Twilight after all
>That mare needed to make an honest colt out of him very soon, or some mare would
>Perhaps you might throw your horseshoe in the ring?

>You had more than enough for a sizable dowry
>There was plenty of simple work to do at the boutique
>If not, you could always had him dig for gems to keep him tired out and stimulated
>At the end of the day, you could even design some cute little outfits for him
>All baring your cutiemark, of course
>You allowed the fantasy to roll around in your skull for a few moments before shaking your head
>No
>Best not
>If the Carrot's didn't get him, you had no desire to compete with Twilight
>Too much of a headache
>Maybe if another hyoo-man happened to appear
"Twilight dear, you MUST let me take the two of you out to lunch for the help. No buts, I must insist! Now, what would you like?"

Be Twilight
>Things were going great with Anon
>He was working, happy, and content
>The poor colt
>It had to be traumatizing for a colt to lose everything he knew at the drop of a hat
>Thankfully, he had some good mares watching over him
>There was Applejack, and Rainbow, and some other mares
>He was getting along with everypony
>There was an issue with the Carrot clan though, along with a few others
>It was rare for a single stallion to just appear
>Many wanted him for breeding stock, as cruel as that was
>Which was why you had some mares watching over him when you couldn't
>And you did
>Watch over him you mean
>As much as you could
>If not you, Starlight and Trixie did
>You knew an easy way to stop all the nonsense
>Anon was already your ward
>He lived in your house, ate your food
>The simple thing would just be to scent mark him and get horse married
>Your mother would be thrilled, as would your clan
>Honestly, you weren't against the idea
>Anon was a simple, hardworking colt
>Applejack said he always came early to the farm
>He didn't have any funny ideas about voting either, like poor Caramel
>He also liked when you read to him at night
>Of course you stuck with easy to digest things; the sort of stuff colts would pay attention to
>You could see yourself lying on top of him, cuddled in your bed
>You also didn't need to provide anypony with a dowry, though you had the bits to do so
>It wouldn't be hard to woo him
>Not really
>His kind seemed very at ease with ponies, and you liked to think you were smart enough to get him to agree
>A wink, some socks, and another kind of wink would get those pants right off
>Not yet
>Soon; maybe
>You wanted to give him a bit more time to get used to his surroundings
>Then Spike would have himself a brother in-law to look up to

>Be Anon
>After a long day of work, you were lying on the couch
>Your body ached pleasantly from the days labors
>Before coming to this world, you had always had trouble sleeping
>Now though, after a day on the farm, you slept like a baby
>You would be sleeping in a bit, so you could get up at the crack of dawn to help Mac with the southern pasture, but for now you just wanted to let your belly digest supper
>There was the clip-clop of hooves
>Turning your head, you saw Twilight
>The nice little horse that had taken you under her wing ever since the big nice white horse lady sent her to live with you
>It was because of her you had a job
>It was also because of her the town was used to you, and you had nice little horse friends
>You smiled at the mare, who smiled back
>She trotted in place for a few moments before making her way toward you
>Usually, she'd sit right next to you, reading out loud until you both went to sleep
>To your surprise, however, she hopped right into your lap
>She was a heavy horse, and your were so surprised that forced you to lean back for a moment
>She knickered, pressing your face against her furry chest
>You were frozen for a moment or two, then started laughing
>You rubbed your face against her chest, scratching her sides and her back, which she seemed to really enjoy
>She wrapped her hooves around your head, hugging you close
>These horses were weird, but you enjoyed your new life
