>"Good sir, do you have some change?"
>>25424453
Hey, I asked you first.
>>25424453
Great, not only do I have to dodge niggers waiting outside the liquor store to bother me for cigarettes and change, but now you too.
>>25424453
>you will never bring homeless bookhorse to your home andforce her to eat all the eggs
>>25424453
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place
I said yep, what a concept
I could use a little fuel myself
And we could all use a little change
>>25424453
Elect me and I promise change.

Let's not forget the hoofjobs
>>25424453

>>25424564
Take it easy Andrew Ryan
>>25424564
This. Theres a fucking methadone clinic down the street from my work and the faggots are there everyday bright and early for their dope, but can't get up bright and early to find a job.
>>25424564
More like HOOFOUT, amiright.
>>25424453
>what the fuck did you just fucking say about me you little bitch?...
>>25424453
I need to know if there is a green for this.
also judging by the opacity it looks like she's blind
>>25424453
>It's a crisp autumn morning in Canterlot.
>The leaves of the trees that line the streets are turning.
>The warm colors are a nice contrast to the white stone towers.
>You're on your way to the Royal Palace to start your shift as a janitor.
>It wasn't great work, but it was steady.
>One of the royal sisters would occasionally inquire about your history while you were working, so that was a nice distraction.
>You've left early to watch Celestia raise the sun.
>The light from the sun pours into the streets, flooding them with its tepid radiance.
>With the rising of the sun, the leaves of the trees emanate a glow before your eyes.
>You're on your usual route to work, taking in the beauty of nature, when you hear a voice grab your attention.
>"Good sir, do you have some spare change?"
>You stop and look down.
>A purple unicorn is sitting on the edge of an alleyway, wearing torn socks and a scarf for insulation.
>She's levitating a sack towards you.
>You look at the sack, and back at her.
>She has an innocent expression.
>Her eyes and smile hide any sense of struggle.
>She's doing her best to not look pathetic, but her condition betrays her attitude.
>She's got circles around her eyes, her coat and mane are messy and matted down.
>You reach around in your pockets, but you didn't have any bits on you.
>You had some in your locker at work that you kept in order to buy food during your lunches, but that wasn't going to help.
>You look back at the unicorn and shrug.
"Sorry, I don't have anything."
>She lowers the sack.
>"That's okay. You take care now."
"Uh huh."
>>25425217
>You continue on your way to work.
>You can't help but feel a bit guilty over not helping her.
There's nothing I could have done. I didn't have any money.
Still, should I have done something?
Like what?
Give her a place to stay?
That's getting into creeper territory.
Well, what?
>Up ahead, you notice the sandwich shop you go to for lunch.
>The lights are on.
>You jog up to it, and enter the shop.
>A light blue stallion in an apron calls out from behind the counter.
>"Welcome to Saddle's Sandwiches, how may - oh, Anon. It's you. You're here early. Looking to try one of breakfast sandwiches?"
"Maybe another time, Mr. Saddle."
>"Well what can I get you?"
"I was kind of wanting to know if I could open up a tab."
>Mr. Saddle blinks a couple times.
>"I guess that's alright."
>He rests himself on the counter.
>"You having financial problems?"
"Not really. I just need to buy a meal for someone, and I don't have any money at this moment."
>"You're opening a tab for somepony else? Then no deal."
"Look, I'm not poor. I have money, just not with me. I'll pay you back at lunch."
>Mr. Saddle stares at you.
>"This isn't going to be a regular thing is it?"
>"No."
>He lets out a sigh.
>"Fine."
"Thanks. I'll be right back."
>>25425226
>You walk back to the alleyway where the unicorn was, and find that she's still there.
>She's excited to see you return.
>She lifts up her sack.
"Sorry, I still don't have change."
>"Oh, right. Sorry."
>She looks down, and her ears fall back.
>"Well, why are you here then?"
"I was wanting to know if you're hungry."
>She perks back up.
>"But I thought you said..."
"I know, but there's a sandwich shop down the street. I can get you something to eat if you want."
>She looks up at you and smiles.
>You can see tears forming in her eyes.
>Before her emotions can get the better of her, she brings her hoof up to wipe her face.
>She takes a breath to regulate herself before nodding her head.
"I thought so. Now come on."
>She tucks her little sack into her scarf and lifts herself off the ground.
>She looks up at you with hopeful eyes, waiting for you to guide her.
Obligatory
>do you want me to continue?
If you do, it wouldn't be until later tonight
>>25425236

for Anon's thought?
>>25425858
It's something I've always done. It just seems weird to let Anon's thoughts be mixed in with the narration in that way
>>25425801
What I want isto give her a nice wholesome meal, bath, and a place to sleep peacefully
>>25425236
Bump for this

I actually wouldn't mind seeing that back. Those stories were nice.
>>25425236
>The unicorn follows alongside you to the shop at a light trot, but catches herself occasionally getting ahead of you.
>She seems embarrassed each time it happens.
>You make it to the shop.
"Alright, here we are."
>You open the door for her, and she trots in.
>"I see you're back with your friend."
>She makes her way to the counter and loses herself at the menu.
>Her ears fall back, her jaw drops, and her eyes widen.
>"What would you like?"
>She snaps back back into reality.
>"Oh, um..."
>She hesitates to answer.
>She turns to you with a timid look.
>"What can I get?"
"You can get whatever you want."
>She looks back at the menu.
>"Can I get the Hay-maker?"
>Mr. Saddle looks back at you for your approval.
>You nod toward him.
>"Yep. One Hay-maker, coming right up."
>He bends behind the counter to get the materials when the unicorn interrupts him.
>"Actually..."
>She's speaking in an unsure tone.
>"Can I get two?"
>"Well, I'm not-"
"Yes, you can get two."
>Mr. Saddle looks over at you.
>You silently mouth to him.
"I can pay for it."
>"Two Hay-makers. I'll have them ready in a bit."
>You reach over and tap the unicorn on her shoulder and gesture to a table.
"Let's have a seat."
>>25430075
Y-you... came back!
>>25430075
Keep it up, m8.

One last bump b4 I get off.
Also, pls pastebin.

No, but I have some spaghetti!
>>25427547
Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow
Hey, now, you're an All Star get your game on, go play
Hey, now, you're a Rock Star get the show on get paid
And all that glitters is gold
Only shooting stars break the mold
It's a cool place and they say it gets colder
You're bundled up now but wait 'til you get older
But the meteor men beg to differ
Judging by the hole in the satellite picture
The ice we skate is getting pretty thin
The water's getting warm so you might as well swim
My world's on fire. How about yours?
That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored.
Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas
I need to get myself away from this place

And all that glitters is gold
Only shootin' stars break the mold
>>25430221
I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else
But not for me
Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems
Disappointment haunted
All my dreams
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
I thought love was
More or less a given thing
But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain
And then I saw her face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
If I tried
What's the use in trying
All you get is pain

Woah, all I want is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music for my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And on the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be runnin' our way
And our way is on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road again
I can't wait to get on the road
>>25430267
See the pyramids along the Nile
Watch the sunrise from a tropic isle
Just remember darling all the while
You belong to me
See the market place in old Algier
Send me photographs and souvenirs
Just remember when a dream appears
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
I'd be so alone without you
Maybe you'd be lonesome too and blue
Fly the ocean in a silver plane
See the jungle when it's wet with rain
Just remember till you're home again
You belong to me
>>25430282
Well I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
Well it goes like this:
The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah
But baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well there was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
But remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah
>>25430297
Welcome to Duloc, such a perfect town
Here we have some rules, let us lay them down
Don't make waves, stay in line
And we'll get along fine
Duloc is a perfect place
Keep your feet off the grass
Shine your shoes, wipe your face
Duloc is, Duloc is
Duloc is a perfect place
>>25430306
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took a right, I took a right turning yesterday
I took the road that brought me to your home town
I took the bus to streets that I could walk down
I walked the streets to find the one I'd looked for
I climbed the stair that led me to your front door
And now that I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing I'm sitting on top of the world
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
I'll do my best, I'll do my best to do the best I can
To keep my feet from jumping from the ground dear
To keep my heart from jumping through my mouth dear
To keep the past, the past and not the present
To try and learn when you teach me a lesson
And now that I don't want for anything
I'd have Al Jolson sing I'm sitting on top of the world
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way from misery to happiness today
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered
I'm on my way to what I want from this world
And years from now you'll make it to the next world
And everything that you receive up yonder
Is what you gave to me the day I wandered
I'm on my way

>You sit down at the table.
>The unicorn is the first one to speak.
>"Sir, I want to thank you for this. It was incredibly generous of you."
"It's nothing, really."
>"I mean it, thank you, Mr..."
"Anonymous, but you can just call me Anon."
>"So, Anon, what you're doing out this early? I don't get many passersby at this time of day. I especially don't see non-ponies walking around Canterlot. And what exactly are you, if you don't mind me asking?"
"I'm heading to work, and I wanted to see the sunrise, so I got up early. To catch it before my shift started."
>"Oh, I didn't realize I was keeping you."
>"Don't worry, I've got plenty of time. I don't need to be anywhere. It's either sit here and talk, or sit at work and wait. And to answer your earlier question: I'm a human."
>"A human?"
"Yeah, we're like hairless monkeys."
>"Really? You look closer to chimpanzees than monkeys."
>She leans in over the table.
>"Are there any books on humans?"
"Where I'm from? Tons. Here? I have no idea."
>She starts talking to herself.
>"Humans are related to chimpanzees, huh? This could be amazing research. They could have magical properties."
>She looks back at you.
>"Tell me, can you do magic?"
"I uh, can do some card tricks and talk like Penn Jillette."
>"Who's that?"
"No one. I was just joking."
>"So, no magic?"
"Afraid not."
>She starts talking to herself again.
>Meanwhile, Mr. Saddle brings out the two sandwiches.
>"Hmm. Maybe he just doesn't realize he can do magic. This requires further study."
"Uh, ma'am?"
>"But how would get the testing equipment necessary to test this?"
"Ma'am?"
>"Surely, I could figure something out."
>She's back to talking to you.
>"Anon, would you be okay with me running tests on you?"
"Ma'am?"
>She leans in with a smile.
>"Yes?"
>>25424453
No, but I have a central nervous system
>>25430884
"Food's here."
>She notices the sandwiches laid in front of her.
>"Oh."
>She laughs nervously.
>"I guess I got a little carried away there."
>She lets out another nervous giggle before focusing on the food.
>"This looks so good. I haven't had a meal like this in who knows how long!"
>She unravels the first sandwich and is about to devour the whole thing before stopping herself.
>"I'm sorry. You're paying for this. Take some."
>She nudges the other sandwich your way.
"No, it's all yours."
>"Thank you, Anon."
"It's no problem, Ms..."
>"Sparkle. My name is Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight Sparkle.
>You've heard that name before.
>You study her for a moment when it hits you.
"I know you."
>She looks worried.
>"You do?"
"Yeah, you're Princess Celestia's student."
>She didn't want to hear those words.
>She looks down at the table.
>"Was...I was Princess Celestia's student."
"You were? What happened?"
Alright, done for the night. I'm debating on whether to make this before or after she meets the mane six. What do you guys think?
>>25430172
>Also, pls pastebin.
Maybe. We'll see where this goes.
>>25430890
Twiggle. Twiggle never changes.
>>25430890
Twi is no longer sunbutts student? I wonder what happened.
>>25424571
well I rather be in an all day orgasmic high than be in 711 or walmart for ten hohrs. Just common sense really.
>>25425801
No, i actually like you, put Rarity instead and i'm diamonds
>>25430905
Definitely before.
>>25430905
Before.
>Anon goes full white knight mod and helps Twi.
>Later she becomes Celestia's student again.
>The show's events happens.
>Twi becomes a princess.
>She still remembers Anon and his help.
>Finds him and offers a job in her castle.
>Romance happens.
>And they lived happily ever after.
>>25425801
Eww have you seen yourself? All that flabby skin? Lose about another 50 then come talk to me
>>25431706
Does she have to become Celestia's student again?Maybe sunbutt has found a new student in Twi's absence and the position is no longer open.Maybe Twi will now have to find another way to get her life together without the help of the princess.Maybe she'll have to find work for herself in the Library Wing of the palace as a librarian.Maybe anon will offer to let her live at his place for a while and help her get back on her feet.Maybe they can hang out together while they work since anon spends most of his time cleaning the Library Wing anyway, it being the one place that gets the most traffic in the castle.Maybe she can be a flawed pony like the rest of them and have to find meaning in her life aside from what her special talent is.
I'd rather give the money to a poorfag with a house who has what to do with it. For example paying his taxes for an entire year.

>"Oh, you know."
>She forces a smile and a laugh.
>"I moved on from my studies with her. I thought it would be best if I did my own independent work."
>She's trying to save face.
"And now you're living on the streets? This isn't part of your 'independent work' is it?"
>Her stomach growls.
>By the look on her face, she's actually relieved by it.
>"I'm sorry, I'm just so hungry, heheh. I can't think straight."
>She levitates the sandwich to herself and takes a large bite out of it.
>She tries talking with her mouth full.
>"Thrs rs sooo durrishus!"
>She swallows her food.
>"Could I bother you to get me a water? It would be really appreciate."
>Twilight takes another big bite from her sandwich.
"Uh, yeah. I'll be right back."
>"Thrnks"
>You get up and head to the counter.
"Hey, can I get a water."
>"Sure thing, Anon."
>Mr. Saddle fills a glass for you.
>"You got an interesting friend there."
"Yeah, she's the Princess's student."
>"Princess Celestia?"
>You both look over at Twilight stuffing her face.
>"Yeah. You found a homeless pony, who thinks she's Princess Celestia's student. If you ask me, she's a little-"
>Mr. Saddle brings a hoof to his head, and draws circles around his temple while making a kekoo whistle.
"No, she really is. I've overheard the Princess mention this mare by name. And it's not like she's bragging about it. She seems almost embarrassed."
>"If you say so."
"I believe her."
>>25438629
>You grab the glass and walk back to the table.
>As you sit down, Twilight is finishing another bite.
>"Thank you, Mr. Anon. I really appreciate it."
"No problem."
>You slide the glass over to her, and she downs it in a single drink.
>She sets the glass down and lets out a satisfied sigh.
>You catch eyes, and Twilight gives an embarrassed laugh.
>"Sorry."
"Do you need another?"
>"No, no. I'm fine thank you."
>When she finishes the last few bites of her sandwich and starts to unravel her second one, you take the chance to ask her about her history.
"So, about your current situation: did you and Celestia have a falling out? Is this why you don't have a home."
>Before she can expose the sandwich, she freezes, and redoes the wrapping.
>"Oh, wow! Look at the time!"
>She points her hoof at the sun outside.
>She gets up from her seat, and uses her magic to get you out of yours.
>She pushes you across the shop and to the door.
>"You really must be getting to work now. Don't want to be late, do you?"
"Well, I'm really not going to be late. I still have a few minutes to spare."
>"Nonsense! To be on-time is to be late, and to be early is to be on-time!"
>Once you're out of the door, Twilight grabs her other sandwich with her magic and gallops with it down the street back in the direction that you found her.
"All you had to do was say that's a sensitive subject."

>You cleaned the halls and rooms of the Palace, making sure they were up to the regal standards.
>You'd walk by the Royal Guards and envision yourself in their place.
>It wasn't a glorious job, but it was at least more respectable than clean-up work, and it had the promise of traveling to other parts of Equestria.
>Every week, you'd apply for the Guard, and every week, you'd get turned down.
>They would give you the same excuse.
>"We don't have a place for a human yet. You can apply again soon."
>This week would be no different, but it was always worth the attempt.
>You made a ritual of it.
>Every week, you'd stop by the Guard outpost during your lunch break, pick up your letter, and wait until the end of the shift to open it.
>The wait kept the day more interesting.
>You finish your shift, and head to the palace doors where two guards are waiting.
"Afternoon, gentlemen."
>They respond together.
>"Afternoon."
>You pull out the letter and wave it in front of them.
>"Still trying to get in?"
"Yep."

>You pop the seal, and unfold the letter.
"Dear, Anon. We are happy to see that you have shown interest in joining the Royal Guard in Canterlot... but we regret to inform you that we will not accept your..."
>You sigh.
"Come on."
>"Sorry, Anon. Better luck next time."
"Thanks."
>"I guess they just don't have any positions that a human can do."
"What can't I do? Stand in a doorway at attention? Oh, wow! So difficult!"
>The guards look cross at you.
"You know what I mean. Being a guard isn't a skill exclusive to horses. I'm not asking much here. I would just, for once, like a straight answer from these-"
>You hear doors open up from behind you followed by hoofsteps and talking.
>>25441579
>You turn back and see Celestia accompanied by guards of her own and being briefed by her adviser.
>You walk up to her.
"Princess."
>You manage to get her attention, but her guards get in between you and her.
>"The Princess is not to be bothered."
"It's just going to take a second."
>The guards create a barrier with their spears.
"Princess, I've got a question."
>She stops and gives you her full attention.
>"What is it, Anonymous?"
"I want to know why I'm not in the guard."
>"I'm sorry. I may be the leader of Equestria, but I don't make those decisions."
"But if you said so, I could get in."
>"Well, technically yes, but..."
"Then what can I do to get in?"
>"You'll have to apply like everypony else."
"I've done that a hundred times."
>"Then I don't know what to tell you."
>She turns away and her adviser picks up where he left off.
>The guards are still holding you back.
"Princess, this is the only thing I'll ever ask of you."
>She doesn't respond.
"I'll do anything."
>Still no response.
>Before she's out of range, you come up with a bargaining chip.
"What if I bring you Twilight?"
>Celestia freezes.
>She turns back and draws closer.
"I know she means a lot to you, and I know you haven't seen her."
>She looks at you more intently.
>"How do you know that I haven't seen her?"
"Because I have."
>By the looks of her face, she might be giving your offer consideration.
"So, if I can find her, and convince her to come see you, will you put me in the Guard?"
>Without hesitation, she responds.
>"Yes."
>Her guards are shocked.
>"What?! Princess!"
"Thank you so much!"

>"Good sir, do you have some change?"
>You look rather uneasily at the small equine as she looks up at you, eyes wide and hopeful.
>Judging from the optimism in her voice, she probably hasn't been homeless for long.
>Probably a fresh victim of the recent stock market collapse.
>Who knew that the Human-Equestrian Trade Agreement would cause so much damage?
>Homeless people you're used to, but these equines...
>Something about them makes you feel worse for them.
>Maybe it's their common naivete.
>Maybe it's how adorable and innocent-looking they are.
>Maybe it's Maybeline.
>Part of you wants to hug her.
>Might as well give her a dollar or two, right? No harm in that.
>You reach out your wallet and pull out a few ones.
>The equine is transfixed on them, as if you are holding the world's most precious gem.
"Hope this helps," you as as you put it inside the pouch she's levitating.
>The small equine stares in shock at her good fortune, then at you before suddenly breaking into a goofy grin.
>"Thank you so much, mister!"
>She then pulls the money out with her magic and starts counts them, then does a recount just to be sure.
>"Just a few more until I can finally buy..."
>You're too busy trying to hold your breaking heart together to pay attention to what she's saying.
>Hopefully things work out for her.

B-b-b-b-bumper post!
>>25424453
>You look down at the purple unicorn and smile. Patting the front of your jacket, you address her.
"Change will come soon enough."
>She smiles up at you, trying to mask her disappointment.
>"Oh, well thanks anyway, sir."
>You continue your walk to canterlot castle, alone with your thoughts.
>The homeless packed nearly every alley and stoop these days.
>Hopefully not for much longer.
>You made your way to the entrance of the once brilliantly radiant castle, and announce your arrival to the guards.
>They quietly discuss amongst themselves whether they should let you in unannounced, or possibly face their Queen's wrath for turning away her confidant.
>It takes all of your willpower to hold in your disgust as you observe their dry, chitinous forms.
>The clicking of their mouthparts nearly drowns out their whispers.
>These had been the longest years of your life.
>But the time to strike is now.
>"Queen Chrysalis will see you now."
>As you grab the edge of your coat, your fingertips brush the butt off your revolver.
>You flash your most winning smile.
"I won't keep her waiting."
"Miss, you wouldn't happen to have any change?"
>Today wasn't going so well.
>Not much money to spare these days.
>You weren't sure what you were going to do for food tonight.
>Or tomorrow night.
>The cloaked mare you'd addressed turns to look at you.
>Her white coat and pink mane seem familiar somehow, but you just couldn't place it.
>"There's a shelter just outside of canterlot. They can provide you with food, and a place to sleep."
>You're surprised by the mare's offer.
"R-really? Uh, thanks miss. I'll head there tonight when-"
>"You must go now. "
>You jump a bit at her interruption.
>"Space is limited. You must act quickly if you want a bed."
"Um, okay. I'll head over there now, I guess."
>She smiles as you gather your meager possessions and start heading towards the town gate.
>"...I'm sorry, Twilight."
>You freeze, dropping your things.
"H-how did you know...?
>She's gone.
>>25424453
"Change?"
le bump
>>25441592
>You walk back home, but not before stopping at the alleyway where you met Twilight.
>The sun is setting behind the white towers, and the chill of the night is setting in.
>When you arrive, she isn't there.
>You look around for any sign that she was around.
>Behind a dumpster, you find a large cardboard box turned on its side.
>Inside are some newspapers, a couple books, and a pony doll that's missing one of its eyes.
>You bend over and reach in to grab a book.
>The title reads: Stable Vice's Approach to the Theory of Magic.
>You flip through the pages.
>It's filled with mathematical equations, and Equestrian terminology you've never even heard of.
>As you're flipping, something falls out of the book.
>Once it hits the ground, you see that it's a photo.
"Crap!"
>You rush down to pick it up.
>You inspect it to see if there's any dirt on it.
>It's clean as far as you can tell.
>You look at the photo.
>It's a family picture.
>Twilight with what looks to be her parents, brother, and...
Is that an dragon?
>You examine it closely.
That, or a walking iguana.
>You're at least sure now that this is her stuff.
>You open up the book to stick the photo back in, but hesitate.
Wait, what page was this on?
>You pick a random spot, and slide the photo in.
>You look over the book one last time when you hear hoofsteps.
>You see Twilight at the end of the alley, holding another book in her mouth.
"Twilight?"
>She holds the book up with her magic.
>"Anon? What are you doing here? And what are you doing with my stuff?"
"Huh? Oh right."
>You toss the book back in the box.
"I've been looking for you. I wanted to talk."
>"About what?"
>>25448783
^:)
>>25448783
"You."
>She cocks her head in confusion.
"And Celestia."
>Twilight puts on her charade again.
>"What do you mean, Anon? There's nothing to talk about."
"Look, I know something happened between you two. I just want to know what."
>She gives you a skeptical look.
>"Why are you doing this?"
"Just want to help...and I kind of made a deal with the Princess saying that I would get you to talk to her."
>"Celestia?"
>Her tone turns more somber.
"She wants to see you."
>"I don't know if I can do that."
>She snaps herself back to attention.
>"Besides, I have much studying to do."
>She trots past you, and into her box.
>She lays down, covers up, and buries her nose into the book just brought.
>You can see a purple glow along with puffs of her breath come from the box.
"That's fine. I can wait."
>You open up the dumpster and find a piece of cardboard.
>You throw it on the ground and sit down on it.
>An hour passes by without either of you saying a word.
>The sun has set, and the night air is setting into your bones.
>She's still reading.
>You're shivering, and from the sounds of rustling newspapers, you can tell she's not doing much better.
>You take a deep breath.
"You know, it would probably be easier to study in someplace warm, like on a couch, wrapped up in a blanket, next to a fireplace, sipping on hot chocolate..."
>Twilight creeps out from her box.
>She's shaking in her socks, and her teeth are chattering.
>"D-do you make it with w-w-water or milk?"
"Milk, obviously."
>She forces a half-smile.
"Come on. Let me grab your stuff."
Will be back tonight. How are you guys liking it so far? I'm sorry about being such a slow updater.
>>25449506
Very nice. Also, don't rush yourself.
>>25449506
Loving it so far, keep going. :)
>>25451212
Sickening
>>25451702
The fluffy or the taking advantage of their appetites?Because you'd be right on both counts.
Courtesy bump of /sun/
>>25449506
Really good.
>>25451212
Call me a faggot if you want, but i can't never withstand fluffy abuse.
I mean, normal ponies getting killed doesn't faze me at all, but fluffy abuse bothers me so much and i don't know why.
Sick bastards.
>>25449506
You are doing a terrific job, keep up the good work
>>25449496
>She was almost as enthusiastic on the walk home as she was when you got her breakfast earlier today.
>When you get home, you immediately set her stuff on the coffee table.
"The bathroom's down the hall, last door on the right. Go take a bath, and I'll get the fireplace going."
>She responds by hugging you around your waist.
>"Thank you."
"Do you promise to talk?"
>She pushes off of you, and looks around the house.
>"I guess I really can't say 'no' now can I?"
"Good."
>She heads down the bathroom door and stops.
>"Uh, what do you want me to do about these?"
>She looks down at her clothing.
"Just leave it in the hallway. I'll take care of it."
>She removes her socks and scarf, and closes the bathroom door behind her.
>Once you hear the water running, you turn to the fireplace.
>Being reminded of Equestria's technology, you groan.
"Why can't you guys have electric fireplaces already?"
>After going through three matches, two newspapers, and managing to get one burn on your hand, you finally have a fire going.
>You figure it's time to get out of your work clothes, and into sweatpants and a shirt.
>You head to your room, and pick up Twilight's clothes along the way.
>You look over their condition.
>They smell absolutely horrid, and they're falling apart.
>You're not sure if they'd make it through the wash.
Still worth a shot, I guess.
>You throw them with the other dirty clothes, making sure they have their own space though, and get changed.
>>25452998
>You leave your room, and see that Twilight's finished with her bath.
>She's sitting in front of the mirror, brushing her mane.
>You go into the kitchen, and get the ingredients ready for the hot chocolate you promised.
>Milk, vanilla, cocoa powder, sugar, a splash of light whipping cream, just a touch of cinnamon, and a bit of love; just like how mom made it.
>Fifteen minutes later, you've got the drinks poured, and you're sitting in the living room, now comfortably warm from the fire.
>One problem: Twilight's not there.
>You check around the house, and see that the bathroom light is still in.
>You creep up and peak in.
>She's still there, brushing her mane, as content as ever.
>She sets the brush down, and brings her mane up to her nose to smell.
>She notices you in the mirror.
>"AGH!"
"Sorry. Didn't mean to spook you. You'd just been taking a long time, and the hot chocolate's ready."
>She blushes.
>"Heheh. Sorry. It's just that I haven't been this clean in a while."
"It's no big deal. If I were in your situation, I'd be probably sit in the tub for hours."
>Twilight follows you to the living room.
>You both sit on the couch, and take your drinks.
"So...what happened?"
>"You're not going to let this go, are you?"
"Not exactly."
>Twilight takes a sip of her drink, appreciating it as if it were returning life into her body.
>"Where do you want me to start the story?"
"The beginning might be a good place."
Done for tonight. I've had a bit of eggnog, and I'm ready to pass out.
>>25453012
Mmm, delicious context inbound.
>>25453027
Good night, anon.
Bump before bed

>"Hi"
>"Hi"
>"Hi"
>"Hi"
They grind on your mental health until you give them what they want. For Twilight though, with such optimistic and proper speech, I'd give her a dollar for a hug. Every other day, I'd come by the store to buy Pepsi and I'd hug her and give her another dollar. If not every day even.
Ponies would have it easy if they came here.
Arise, page nine.

>>25453012
>"Ever since I was young, I've had a fascination with magic. Everyday, I'd be buried in a book, or practicing a new technique."
"Okay, maybe not the very beginning."
>She takes another sip of her drink.
>"Well, I got into the School for Gifted Unicorns as Celestia's protege by nothing short of a miracle."
"Miracle?"
>"At the entrance exam, I had to hatch a dragon egg. I was doing everything I could, but nothing was working."
>Twilight's tone changes.
>Her matter-of-factness turns more dramatic and emotional.
>"My whole future depended on this exam, and I was about to blow it. I had given up, but then something happened. It was like the magic within me was released. My horn and eyes started glowing. I not only hatched Spike, but made him into a full-grown dragon, and I turned my parents into plants!"
>She throws her hooves up.
>"It was out of control! It wasn't until Celestia came and stopped me. I was so worried that ruined my chances of entering. But then, Celestia told me that she wanted to take me in as her personal student. I couldn't believe it. And then..."
>She gets off the couch.
>"Celestia pointed at my flank. I had gotten my cutie mark!"
>She's hopping up and down, eyes closed, reliving the moment.
>"It was the happiest day of my life."
>She doesn't realize what she's doing until she sees you with a grin on your face.
>She stops her bouncing and gets back on the couch.
>"Anyway..."
>She takes a sip of her drink and clears her throat.
"Wait, before you go on: I have a question. Spike? Was that the dragon I saw in the photo you had in your book?"
>"Yes, that's Spike. He was my number one assistant, and almost like a little brother to me. I can't count how many times I would have gone stir crazy had he not been there to keep me company, and trust me, I can count pretty high."
>She looks at you waiting for a response.
>>25462323
HE RETURNS
>>25462323
Congrats on making something that has survived this long.
One last bump before bed. Keep up the good work.
>>25462323
>"Right, so where was I?"
"Happiest day of your life."
>"Oh yeah. It was the happiest day of my life. I had gotten to study with my greatest inspiration. I took everything she said to heart, and when I wasn't with her, I was in the library studying."
>Twilight shifts around in her spot.
>"Everything was going great...until I got so wrapped up in my studies. I had become obsessed with the tale of the mare in the moon. Celestia had told me to move to Ponyville - that I needed to get my head out of those books - and make some friends."
>She stares into her drink.
"Then?"
>"And then, I told her 'no.' My own teacher. I told her that I wasn't going to do what she said, because I was so stubborn and sure of myself."
>She sniffles, and wipes her nose.
>"And what did I do when I saw that Nightmare Moon came back? I got even more prideful. I thought this was some test by Celestia. I had chased Nightmare Moon into the Everfree forest and to an old castle."
>You watch a single tear fall from her nose into her drink.
>"Celestia had to come in and save the day. I tried talking to her, wanting to know if I had passed her test, but all she told me was about how upset with me she was. That this was the first time she had ever been angry with me. That if I had just listened to her, I could have stopped Nightmare Moon."
Nightmare Moon? That happened before you even arrived...
>You tentatively extend your hand out to comfort her, but decide against it.
>She sniffles again, and takes a deep breath.
>>25462848
>"I was so ashamed at what I had done. I gave up on my studies."
>Her voice wavers.
>"I had been a student my entire life. I couldn't find a job that paid well enough to live off of, and I was too embarrassed to ask my family for help."
>She brings her hooves to her face.
>"I lost everything, Anon: my home, my way of life, my studies, and my number one assistant. All because I was too stubborn to listen to Celestia."
>She looks at you.
>"I don't know if I could ever show my face to her again."
>She goes back to crying into her hooves.
>You reach out, this time petting her head in reassurance and let her cry it out.
"I know the Princess was mad at you, but she's not anymore. Trust me. She really wants to see you again. It's why I'm doing this."
>She pulls her head back up.
>"Anon, I can't do that. I can't go back to her."
"And why not?"
>"I...just can't, okay?"
>You sigh in frustration.
"Look, it's getting late. I'll grab you some blankets, let the fire go for the night, and we can talk about this in the morning. How does that sound?"
>She smiles.
>"That sounds nice. I'm getting pretty tired."
>You get up and watch Twilight sprawl out on the couch, her eyes blinking.
>"Thanks, Anon. This really means a lot."
"No problem."
>>25462856
>You head to the closet and grab your warmest blanket for her.
>When you get back, Twilight's already fallen asleep.
>You can barely hear her snoring over the crackle of the fire.
"You weren't kidding, were you?"
>You unfold the blanket, and cover Twilight.
>You notice that you hadn't even touched it the whole night, and decide to chug the lukewarm drink.
>You set the cup next to Twilight's stuff.
>Curious, you look over it a second time.
>You flip through the pages, still unable to understand a lick of it.
>You set it down and trade it out for the little doll.
>Not only was it missing an eye, the stuffing was beaten down and lumpy, and the fabric was stained.
"I could probably fix all that. Wouldn't take but a few hours."
>You look over at Twilight who's fast asleep.
>You lift her hoof, and stuff her doll close to her body.
>You run your fingers through her mane, and pat her shoulder.
"Goodnight, Twilight."
>With that, you head to bed.
And goodnight to you guys.
>>25462867
Goodnight you glorious faggot.

Oh shit man, so great.

>It's early morning.
>What little sunlight that manages to break through your curtains is enough to wake you.
>You contemplate staying underneath the comfort of the blankets and heading back to sleep, but the daylight is preventing that.
>You get out of bed and decide to take advantage of the early hours to make breakfast for Twilight.
>You do your morning routine and get cleaned up.
>You head to the kitchen, and start getting ingredients ready for breakfast.
>It dawns on you that the only food you have beyond cereal that you actually cook is eggs.
>You didn't want to bother Twilight, but at the same time, wanted to cook her a proper meal.
>You walk into the living room.
>She's snoring, and there's a little drool coming from her mouth.
>Her doll is clenched tight to her chest.
"Hey, Twilight."
>She doesn't respond.
>You decide to give her a gentle shake on her shoulder.
"Twilight."
>She jolts awake.
>"Huh? Is it time to get up?"
"No, you can go back to sleep in just a second. I'm running to the store. What do you want for breakfast?"
>She takes a moment to process your question in her half-daze.
>"Can you make pancakes?"
"Yeah, I can do that."
>She smiles.
>"Thanks."
>>25470134
>You get up, and head to the door.
>You turn back to see Twilight watching you leave.
>She's still smiling at you, and you throw a smile back at her.
>She closes her eyes and drifts back to sleep.
>You get ready to leave when you're struck with an idea.
>You tiptoe back to Twilight, and check on her.
>She seems to have fallen asleep just as quickly as she had last night.
>You grab a hold of her doll and try to pull it away.
>Her body puts up a little resistance, but you manage to take it without waking her.
"It's okay, Twilight. I'm not stealing it from you."
>You head to the market and buy the missing ingredients to make pancakes.
>Next stop is a sewing store.
>You almost lose your entire morning, but you get a sewing kit, a delicate fabric cleaner, stuffing, and matching button for the eye.
>You hadn't sewn anything in a long time, but you remembered enough to not totally botch this.
>You arrive home and sneak in through the front door.
>You open it slowly, as to not wake Twilight.
>As soon as you're in, you turn around and gently close the door behind you.
>You look back at Twilight to see if you startled her.
>There's one problem: she's not there.
>Her stuff is missing from the coffee table.
>You yell into your house.
"Twilight?"
>You set your stuff down and rush down the hallway.
>She's not anywhere in the house.
>Everything she brought with her is gone.
"Goddammit, Twilight!"

Does anyone know if there's a pastebin for the homeless Sunset Shimmer greentexts that were written about a year or two back, or am I going to have to scour the archives? This thread reminded me of those and I kind of want to go back and read those again.

>You rush out the door.
>There aren't any signs of Twilight.
>You head into town to look for her.
>Your first stop is the alleyway that you first came across her.
>You can't afford to waste any time.
>You run as fast as your legs will allow you to
>When you get to the alley, your lungs are in stitches, your heart is in a panic, and your legs are on fire.
>You allow yourself a rest and lean against the wall.
>In between coughs and gasps, you yell into the alley.
"Twilight!"
>Your coughing prevents any response from being.
>You take a deep breath and try again.
"Twilight!"
>No response.
>Panting, you jog over to where her box was.
>She's not in there.
>Her stuff isn't there either.
"Oh, come on."
>You rest against the wall to give yourself a minute to think as to where she might be.
>The first spot that comes to mind is Mr. Saddle's.
No. She wouldn't be there, would she?
Only one way to find out.
>Your body is begging you not to move.
Come on, it's not that far.
>You push yourself off, and run to Mr. Saddle's.
>Heads turn as you slam open the door to the shop.
>"Anon, are you okay?"
>Another coughing fit starts up.
"Twilight..."
>You're interrupted by your lungs need for air.
"Twilight, was she here?"
>"Who?"
>You settle yourself a little.
"That purple unicorn from yesterday: have you seen her?"
>"No, I haven't. What happened?"
>>25480599
"She ran off."
>"Ran off?"
"Yes."
>You take a deep breath.
"I gave her a place to get cleaned up, and a place to rest. This morning, I came into town to buy some groceries, and when I got back home, she was gone."
>"What? What did she take?"
"She didn't take anything, but I need to find her."
>"Anon, have you been hit in the head?"
"No."
>"Then why do you need to find her?"
>You take one last deep breath.
>Your breathing is under control, and your heart rate is slowing.
"I just need to find her so I can get her back to the Princess. I'm trying to help her."
>"Sounds like she doesn't want your help."
"Well, that's too bad."
>"Anon, that mare sounds like more trouble than she's worth."
"She almost is."
>You take another moment to rest and think.
Where could she be?
Surely she wouldn't have skipped town, would she?
She couldn't afford the train ticket.
>You remember the books she had with her.
Wait. Where did she get those?
Library? Where else would she have gotten them?
"Mr. Saddle."
>"What?"
"Is there a library nearby?"
>"There are several libraries."
>You groan.
"Don't say that."
>"The nearest one is three blocks from here. Head north two, then take a left."
"I guess I'll start there."
>>25480603
>Against your protesting body, you follow Mr. Saddle's directions and jog to the library.
>Knowing the routine, you get your coughing fit over with outside before entering.
>You enter the library and head to the front desk.
>There's an old mare waiting.
>Her voice is feeble.
>"Can I help you?"
"Yes. I'm looking for someone, and I want to know if you've seen them."
>"Well, I've seen lots of ponies come in and out, but I'm not-"
"Okay, did a homeless looking purple unicorn come in yesterday evening?"
>"Well, I don't exactly remember."
>You sigh.
"Thanks. Is there another library close by?"
>"Yes, on the other side of Canterlot, there are two, and one in the Canterlot castle."
Canterlot castle? No. She wouldn't show her face there. And why would she go across town to check out books?
"Are you sure you haven't seen her?"
>"I'm old, dear. I don't have a great memory."
"Thanks, anyways."
>You head for the door when you're struck with an idea, and head back to the counter.
"Before I go, can I check out a book?"
>"Why, of course. What are you looking for?"
"A book on the theory of magic."
>"There are several authors on the subject."
>She scoots her chair back and gets up.
>"Let's see if we have what you're looking for.
>Following behind the librarian, she leads you to the magical sciences section.
>"Let's see here..."
>She starts pulling out books.
>"The Beginners Guide to Understanding Magic?"
"No, not that one."
>"Hmm. Magic for the Practical Unicorn?"
"No, not that one either. Do you have anything by 'Stable' or something like that?"
>"Stable Vice?"
"Yeah! That one."
>"Oh, you're looking to Stable Vice's Approach to the Theory of Magic."
"That's the one."
>Right this way."
>>25480611
>She heads further down the shelf.
>"Aha, here we-"
>She pauses.
>"Oh."
"What?"
>"Somepony has it checked out already."
>A rush of relief washes over you.
"Yes!"
>Your voice carries further than you intended.
>A chorus of "Shh" comes from all around the library.
>"Keep it down!"
"Right. Sorry. This just helps me out immensely."
>She cocks her head.
>"I don't understand, but I'm glad I could help."
"Can I ask one more favor?"
>"Sure."
>"When is that book due?"
>"Well, let's head to the front counter and find out."
>You follow the librarian back to the counter.
>After going through several cabinets of files, she finds the information you need.
>"Seems that the book is due...today."
"Oh, this is good news. This is REALLY good news."
>Now that your chase is coming to a close, you stick around the library and wait.
Alright, I got more done than I thought I would, so I'm calling tonight a success.

>You wait, and wait, and wait in the lobby.
>Ponies come and go, but none of them are the one you're looking for.
>Hours pass by.
>Your stomach frequently reminds you that you haven't had anything to eat all day.
>Ponies frequently remind you that a library is meant to be quiet.
>You ignore their remarks.
>You're not going to leave the library and miss your chance to talk to Twilight.
>Spending your day running around town on no food has left you tired.
>You catch yourself drifting off on several occasions.
>You have to shake yourself awake to keep from slipping.
>You've lost track of the hour.
>You find a small area away to pace yourself.
>Finally, she arrives.
>She's wearing her beat up scarf and socks.
>You hang back and watch.
>She drops off her book at the front desk, and heads for the section that the librarian had taken you to earlier.
>You debate whether to confront her now, or wait until she's outside.
>Your empty stomach and foggy mind don't make your decision easier.
>In the midst of thinking, you notice that she's already coming back to the front desk with another book.
Well, I guess I'm left with one option.
>You keep your distance as you follow behind her when she leaves.
>You pass through the front doors and call out to her.
"Twilight!"
>She looks back in horror.
>"Oh. Hi, Anon. What are you doing here?"
>She forces a smile.
"I'm here looking for you."
>"Really? Why?"
>You walk up to her.
"You know why: you ran away."
>"Ran away? No...I was just, uh...returning my book."
"So you're telling me that you left this morning, with all your stuff, to return a single book, and it took you several hours to do so?"
>>25489900
>She starts walking away and you follow up beside her.
"Twilight, what's going on? I'm just trying to help you."
>Her head droops, and her ears fall back.
>"Anon, I'm not going back to Celestia. I can't go back."
"Why not?"
>"I really messed up. I was lucky that Celestia was there to fix everything, but what's going to happen when she's not there? I couldn't live with myself if I let that happen again."
"You made one poor decision. Yes, it had huge consequences, but Celestia wants to see you. She's willing to look past that mistake. I mean, obviously you've learned your lesson, right?"
>"I put all of Equestria at risk that night, and all because I was too afraid to do what Celestia asked. She's better off finding another student."
"Afraid to do what? Make friends?"
>She looks up at you, ears still back, eyes full of mourn.
"Twilight, are you scared to make friends? Is that why you doubled-down on your studies?"
>She turns forward and continues walking.
"Is that why you ran away this morning?"
>She responds by picking up her pace, and you follow suit.
>Her walk turns into a trot, then her trot to a canter, then her cantor to a gallop.
>You speed up as well, but it's becoming difficult to keep up with her.
>Your legs are refusing to work, and your lungs protest the second you start running.
>She's putting distance between you.
>You're afraid you're going to lose her again.
>You suppress the pain and push through.
>You manage to keep up with her.
>She rounds the corner into an alley.
>>25489912
>Once you catch up to her, you see that she's standing by a box with some newspapers and her books.
>She turns around.
>"Anon, I want to be alone right now."
>You lean against a wall to catch your breath.
>Huffing and wheezing, you fight to speak.
"You always want to be alone, don't you?"
>"Yes, I do."
>You cough a few times, then look at her.
>She's trying to be stern, but you can tell she's scared.
"Just go back to your teacher."
>"No, Anon."
"Really?"
>You push yourself off the wall and approach her.
"You're really going to do this? I'm trying to be nice to you, and trying to help you, and this is what you're going to do?"
>"Maybe I don't want your help?"
>Your stomach growls.
>You both hesitate to speak.
"Look, I've had nothing to eat all day, and I've been running around trying to find you. I'm hungry, I'm sleepy, my body is exhausted, and I can't even think straight. You would seriously rather put up with this everyday of your life than make yourself emotionally vulnerable?"
>"Yes."
>Her answer catches you off-guard.
>Your tone softens.
"Are you that scared?"
>"Yes, Anon. I am that scared. I'm afraid of making friends. Is that what you want to hear?"
>You don't know what to say.
>"Anon, I just want to be alone."
"Yeah. Sure thing."
>Without another word, you head home.

>When you enter through the front door, you almost trip over the groceries you bought this morning.
>Once you've put everything away, all you're left with is Twilight's doll.
>You take it and set down on the couch.
>You let your body sink in and rest from the day's events.
>You play around with the doll in your hands.
>For as old and beat-up as it is, you're surprised how it's still held together.
>Some heavy swinging would tear the stitching apart.
>Your stomach growls.
Come on. I just sat down.
>Letting out a groan, you lift yourself from the couch and head to the kitchen.
>Unwilling to cook anything, you just make yourself a bowl of cereal for your meal of the day.
>Finally getting a bit of food into your stomach allows you to think without haze or interruption.
Twilight, I was just trying to help, but I guess there's no point in trying to help those who won't help themselves.
>Another part of your brain chimes in.
She's scared.
Of making friends? That's irrational.
She's never had friends. How is she supposed to see that?
Then I guess there's nothing I can do to convince her otherwise.
How about instead of just using her to get into the Guard, you actually be a friend to her?
>Your gut sinks at the realization.
>You hadn't been completely honest about your intentions with Twilight.
Would you have really gone back if it weren't for the fact that she was the Princess' student?
Well, I bought her breakfast...
I let her have whatever she wanted to eat...
>Despite the excuses you make, you know in your gut what the answer was.
>The guilt sets into you like a stone.
Wow. I've kinda been a jerk. She told me her biggest fears, and I belittled them...
>Once you finish eating, you set back down on the couch, holding the doll again.
And now I own half her stuff.
>A spark ignites in you and catches a hold of the guilt.
>You feel a desire to make things right, and to do so now.
>Your desire grows as the guilt becomes fuel for the spark in you.
>>25497947
>You go to the fireplace and start a small fire, enough to heat the immediate area around it.
>You once again walk back into the kitchen, this time with the doll.
>You clear the sink, and get the water warm.
>While the water is warming up, you gather all your supplies for the rest of your night.
>Hand soap, a washcloth, a pair of scissors, the sewing kit, the stuffing, and a little bit of luck.
>You run the doll under the water, just long enough to get the surface wet.
>Dabbing a little soap onto the cloth, you find a quarter-sized stain and rub circular motions into it.
>You work the spot for several minutes straight: lathering, rinsing, and repeating.
>Your hand cramps up, and you take that as a sign that you're done washing that spot.
>You rinse the spot on last time and examine it.
>To your satisfaction, you've managed to work out the stain, along with the ages of set in dirt.
>In fact, it looks slightly lighter than the surrounding area.
>You chuckle at your surpassing of your own expectations.
>Your satisfaction ends when you see that you haven't even cleaned a fraction of the doll.
"Come on now."
>Several sessions of hand cramps later, you seem to be making sizable progress.
>You've got the head and mane clean, along with part of the torso.
"There's got to be a better way of doing this."
>You decide to put soap on the whole thing, and let it set while you work on one part at a time.
>This fairs better.
>In the time it took you to clean the head and mane, you've now got the rest of the body clean.
>You take the doll and set in near the barely lit fire place to dry.
>You take this time to rest your hands.
>>25497947
A-anon! You came back!
>>25497952
Keep going
>>25497952
>Turning the doll every so often, you finally get it dry.
>You can still feel the spark inside you motivating you to continue on.
>You set the doll on the coffee table, and get your sewing kit and scissors ready.
>Not wanting to risk destroying the doll, you decide to undo the stitching at the joints.
>You start with one of her front legs.
>You find a loose stitch large enough to fit the blade and snip the thread.
>Carefully, you pull the thread loose, and pull the leg free.
>You pull out lumps of stuffing from the leg, and replace it with the stuffing you bought, making sure to make it as even as possible.
"Okay. Now for the hard part."
>You thread the needle, and bring the leg back to the torso.
>Following the stitch pattern best you can, you get the leg reattached.
>You give the leg a firm tug.
>It stays attached, the stitching not giving way.
"Alright. Still know how to do this. That's good."
>One by one, you remove, restuff, and reattach the legs of the doll.
>The torso and head were the most difficult.
>You managed to restuff the head with the correct shape, but the torso was less successful.
>Upon reviewing the doll, you see that you've given it a little bit of a gut.
>There was one last detail you needed to attend to.
>You place the eye on the head, centering it just right.
>You sew the button on.
>You use more thread than what the other eye had, but at least it was on there, and not going anywhere.
>You take one more look at your accomplishment.
>It was almost brand new aside from the pudgy stomach and button having too much thread in it.
"I'm calling that a winner."
>You look at the clock.
>You were supposed to be in bed two hours ago.
>Content with your work, you put out the fire, and head to bed.
Alright, I gotta get me some ramen noodles. Be back in a bit.
>>25498147
Good work anon. Enjoy your noodles.
>>25498147
Better not be instant, you deserve proper, genuine ramen.
Anticipating bump
Surprisingly long-lasting story bump
>>25498136
>You are awaken by the sunrise.
>Your body hasn't fully recovered from your supposed day off.
>Against aching muscles, heavy eyes, and a tired mind, you fight your way out of the comfort of your bed.
>You do your regular routine of getting ready.
>When you leave for work, you grab your gift for Twilight and stuff it into your jacket.
>You trace your mental map back to Twilight's new spot.
>When you arrive, you find that she's still there lying in her box.
"Twilight?"
>"What do you want, Anon?"
"I just wanted to talk."
>She gets out and stands firm against you.
>"Anon, I said I'm not going back to Celestia."
"I know. That's not what I'm here to talk about."
>She looks bemused by your statement.
"I wanted..."
>You take a deep breath.
"I wanted to apologize for the way I've been treating you. I haven't been completely honest with you about my intentions. I've been pushing you to go back to studying with Celestia so that she would get me into the guard."
>You kneel down to Twilight's level.
"And I know two days is a bit quick, but I haven't been treating you like a friend, and you deserve to be. I'm sorry."
>You reach into your jacket.
"I know you don't want to hear this, but I really do think getting back into your studies would be best..."
>You pull out the doll and reach out to Twilight with it.
>Twilight's eyes widen at the site of her doll.
"But I'm not going to pressure you to do something you really don't want to."
>She reaches out with her hoof and takes the doll from you.
>She brings it to her face, closing her eyes, and rubbing it against her cheek.
"So how about this: you can come stay with me, where you have a couch to sleep on, three hot meals a day, and we can find you a job, and help you get back on your feet...or hooves in your case. We'll find you your own place. How does that sound?"
>She opens her eyes and looks at you.
>You gesture to the doll.
"So, do you you forgive me?"
>>25499071
>She looks at the doll again, then back at you.
>She walks up to you and wraps her forelegs around you, pulling you in for a hug.
>"Yes, Anon. I forgive you."
>You bring your arms around Twilight and hug her back.
>You hear her sniffle a few times.
>She keeps a hold of you, but you let her decide to stop hugging when she's ready.
"You know, I never did cook those pancakes."
>She pulls away from you and giggles.
"I'm just saying, we could have had them yesterday.
>You stand up.
"Think about it, okay?"
>She simply nods her head.
"Alright."
>You turn away and leave the alley.
>Just before you're out of view, you look back at her.
>Twilight is wiping away tears with a smile on her face.
>Seeing that makes you smile yourself.
>With that bit of happiness in you, you head to work.
>Everything played out at work just as usual.
>You did your cleaning duties.
>You would be stopped by Luna and her questions.
>The guards would tease you about not being in the guard.
>When they brought up getting Twilight back, you just ignored them.
>Finally, lunch came around, and you went to Mr Saddle's as usual.
>"Afternoon, Anon. How you doing?"
>Your eyes are fixated on the menu.
"Pretty good, I guess"
>Mr. Saddle picks up that something's different about you.
>"You having a long day?"
"Yesterday was."
>"Oh yeah. About that, how did it go? You end up finding her?"
"Yeah."
>"You end up helping her out? And by the way, what can I get you?"
"Eh. I'm hoping so. And just get me the usual."
>"Sure thing. It'll be up in a jiff."
>Mr. Saddle begins working on your sandwich.
>"Oh, I almost forgot: you in the Guard yet?"
>You sigh.
"No, I'm giving up on that."
>Mr. Saddle scoffs.
>"I told you. That mare was more trouble than she was worth. She's sucked the life out of you."
>You just laugh along.
"No. I was never getting in."

>You spend the rest of your lunch eating alone before heading back to work.
>Your day continues on like most, with the exception that you were no longer going to be pestering the Royal Guard about a position.
>Your shift comes to an end and you head to the palace doors to talk with the guards that were stationed there.
>"How's that search coming?"
"Huh?"
>"That search for the Princess' student?"
"Oh, yeah. You know, I've learned a lot these past couple days, and-"
>"He didn't find her."
>The guards bust up laughing.
>You can't help but go along with them.
"No, I did. I tried to get her to come back, but she didn't want to."
>You look at both the guards and shrug.
"I mean, not much in that situation that I can do."
>"Well, you gave it your best shot. You can always apply to the Guard again this week."
"Actually, about the Guard, I think I'm done trying to-"
>A voice calls out to you.
>"Anonymous."
>You and the guards turn your heads.
>Celestia is walking up to you.
>She has her usual guards and adviser with her, along with one more.
"Twilight, is that you?"
>"Anon, I'm glad that I found you. I wanted to thank you for talking Twilight into coming to see me."
>You look at Twilight who just blushes.
>"We've spent the whole afternoon talking, and she's agreed to continue her studies once again. I can't thank you enough for this."
>You're standing there speechless, trying to digest what's going on.
>"And, as promised, I will personally make sure that you have a position within the Royal Guard."
>You're still searching for words to speak.
>"Well, isn't that what you wanted?"
"Yeah it is, but..."
>"But?"
"But first, can I have a talk with Twilight for a moment?"
>"Of course. I'll be right over here."
>Celestia turns away.
>You pull Twilight aside.
>>25499833
"Twilight, what are you doing?"
>"You were right, this is best for me. When you called me your friend, and said that I would always have a place to come back to, it made me see how great friendship can really be. So, I'm going to continue my studies under Celestia, and move to Ponyville."
>The only response you can muster right now is a huge grin.
>"And plus, she's putting me at a library! I'll be able to do so much reading, and research, and..."
>She catches herself in her excitement.
>"And friend-making, of course."
"Just remember to write me every once in a while, alright?"
>"Deal. And you write me to let me know how you're doing in the Guard, alright?"
>You hesitate to respond.
>"That's what you wanted, right? To be in the Royal Guard?"
"Yeah. It's just, that I was ready to let that go. Here I am, coming to terms with never getting in, and now it's in being thrown in my lap. I don't know what to think, honestly."
>"Take it."
"What?"
>"Take it. It'll be good for you."
"You're probably right."
>Twilight pulls you in for another hug.
>"Thank you, Anon. Thank you for showing me that friendship is nothing to be afraid of."
"You're welcome, Twilight. Thank you for what you've done for me. I couldn't have ever done this on my own."
>"You're welcome, Anon."
>You end your hug and walk back to Celestia.
>"So, Anon, will you accept the offer?"
>Taking a deep breath, you give her a confident answer.
"Yes, your highness."
>Celestia smiles.
>"Good. You'll be hearing from the Guard about your duties within the week."
>She turns to Twilight.
>"And you need to get your things ready if you and Spike want to be in Ponyville by tonight."
>"Yes, Princess."
>Twilight and her reunited teacher walk off.
>You watch them, wanting to hold off leaving for as long as possible.
>You catch Twilight glance back at you.
>You both share a smile, ready to begin the chapters of your lives.
THE END
>>25499838
wow i dont know what to think.....it feels so rushed but maybe it for the best.
Why do we still have homeless and poorfag fandom members when we literally throw our wallets at anything?
Holy shit. Didn't think I had it in me to crank this one out. Pastebin's updated, and made public. Got any suggestions for a title?
>>25499852
Yeah, I was worried about that.
>>25499869
Make it a full story.
>>25499869
>anon becomes a royal guard for princess twiggy when?
>>25499933
As an epilog of course
