//------------------------------// // Chapter 7 // Story: Humans Assemble: Equestrian Boys // by Mistershield //------------------------------// Applejack ran into a bathroom, chest heaving up and down as she panted for air. The southern belle was flat against the door, green eyes darting back and forth as she tried to see if anyone else was in. Trying to catch her breath, the poor girl released a sigh before she could finally calm down and feel her heartbeat relax. This was the second time today she had to run into the bathroom! Her left arm moved up to wipe her brow and shut her eyes. “Settle down girl,” AJ whispered to herself, trying not to cry. Her first kiss, taken away by some stranger- and it wasn’t even the boy that kissed her that did it! It was some feller in one of them suits. But that boy... Tall, smelled of the earth, rust colored hair, and oh boy- those muscles gave Big Mac a run for his money. Never in her life did she ever expect to have her first kiss taken by a guy she dreamed of. He even knew her name... “Wait a darn gosh minute!” AJ’s eyes opened wide as she stood up from the door. “How did he know my name?!” Thoughts of a stalker ran through her head. Her gaze turned from tired to worried as she narrowed her eyes. Those other fellers also knew about the Crusaders. “Ah better get Bic Mac.” __________________________________ “Please! *Huff* I’m *huff* not *huff* “Shut up you...” Rainbow had to take a second and think of a nick- insult for this handso- dirty guy. Running after him was not helping. Usually, she would have more energy, but she had just spent most of her morning practicing. “Argh! Stop running! You are never going to-” RD had to stop running and look over at a group of kids that were making their way to the boy in blue. “Phoenix! Jump on!” Scootaloo raced next to teen. Wally raced behind her, on his skateboard. Phoenix’s own eyes went wide, but did think twice about the offer. He jumped on behind Scoots, moving his hands to grab her shoulders. The two then took off the sidewalk, and run down unto the street. “Now!” Nigel shouted out, jumping out of some bushes. RD turned to look a the boy as a second boy jumped out to hit a button on a remote. Immediately, the rockets on the scooter turned on, and sent the two on the scooter on a huge speed boost. Her mouth opened wide when she turned to look back at the two boys. “I’m being punked!” She screamed, and she was going to lift her hand up- only to have Wally sudden zip in and lift her into his arms. “Go limp!” Wally shouted, getting on the street as well. RD immediately moved both of her hands to between her thighs, cheeks turning red as she was being literally swept off her feet. “What is goin-” “Woah! Too fast!” Phoenix shouted as he was being turned around to head back into Rainbow’s direction. His own eyes were opened wide, his tie flapping out of his school uniform. Huh? Where was Scoots? “Watch where you’re going!” RD eyes opened wide again as the now Phoenix was racing into her. Scoots was long gone by now, having jumped off and being helped up by Sweetie Belle. Wally raised RD up, and then Phoenix zipped passed the blond boy. Wally kicked up his board and watch as how Phoenix and RD were racing back to the school on a rocket powered scooter. “You sure this will lead them back to the school?” Nigel asked, looking back at the mechanic. Hoagie nodded, looking down at his remote. Nigel soon joined them, with Sweetie and Scoots soon after. “Well, at least they are heading back to the school,” Scootaloo sighed, watching the two on her scooter yell for their lives. “Are you sure about this?” Applebloom asked, walking up next to Hoagie. In her hands, she held a video camera they used to record their stunts and famous ideas. “I dunno,” the boy shrugged, “wasn’t my idea.” _______________________________ “What is going on out there?” Sunset asked, blinking twice. Otacon was at her side, the two if them in each other's arms for a moment. They were about to kiss, only to hear the sounds of screaming. The two broke away and then headed to the windows and look outside. “Nathan?” Otacon asked, peeking out at his friend. “Rarity?” Sunset asked, spotting the couple. She raised an eyebrow, spotting how Rarity had both of her arms around Nate’s right. That seemed awfully forward and suspect to her. “Oh, hello Sunset,” Rarity added, looking away a moment. As usual, the two ladies were at least cordial to each other. But there was no love lost between the two. “Look who I found. Was it Fluttershy making all that noise?” Nate asked, looking around at the other opened window. Otacon and Sunset blinked once and craned their necks to look over at Fluttershy, who hand both of her hands behind herself. They could only make out her head and part of her neck as she seemed to be bobbing up and down. This raised more than a few eyebrows. “Outta my way!” Dan shouted, finally pulling the yellow one back to peek out. “Nathan? Rarity? Is that you guys?” He blinked twice, since he had yet to go through the same deductions the others had. The small human had both eyebrows up as her turned to look over at the other two outside the window. “Otacon?” “Dan! Finally! We’ve been looking for you!” Otacon almost shouted, making Sunset wince once. “The others of the Vanguard Team are out looking for you.” “Vanguard?” Rarity asked, turning to look over at Dan. At his side, there was a blushing Fluttershy that had both of her hands holding on to her hair and try to hide her face from view. “Fluttershy darling, at are you up to with a boy? Alone in the nurse’s office?” “Eeep!” Fluttershy ducked back down to hide behind Dan, who at this point frowned at the implication Rarity was trying to do. “Now listen here you fashion-” “Pinkie is going to kill you when she hears about this...” Nathan teased, eyes closed a bit in a smile. Otacon could only move a hand to his mouth at the possible outcomes that Pinkie could conjure up. “Pinkie? Hmph! What does she have to do with all this?” Rarity asked, suddenly tugging on Nathan’s arm and frowning up at him. “Well well well... It looks like Rarity and Fluttershy found some dates for the Gala afterall,” Sunset grinned, getting a wicked idea in her head. Dan’s head moved left and right, trying to figure out what was going on. Clues were starting to fill in, but he was also getting angry. His gaze slowly turned into a frown as his both cheeks turned red, and fists forming in slow shakes. “I’m going to-” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” Everyone turned their heads as Soma was suddenly tackled and glopmed by a blur of pink. Dan’s mouth was open in shock as Pinkie landed on Soma’s chest. With a big ole smile on her face. “Finally! Now what do I get for catching my hunky vampire?!” Pinkie purred. She moved to grab Soma’s shoulders, trying to pin him down before he could escape. At that moment, time stood still. Otacon slowly turned his head to look at Dan, trying to choke out a warning for poor Soma. Rarity’s mouth had come agape, looking at how brazen Pinkie had gotten, with a complete stranger no less. Sunset had a raised eyebrow, noting how both Nathan and Otacon suddenly went quiet. Nathan for his part, turned white as he could only stand still. Soma for his own part, finally managed to look around for help. The Spaniard teen blinked once, his gaze moving from Nathan, to Otacon- and then finally Dan. A chill went down his spine, dread filling his gaze. Pinkie noted Soma’s reaction, and turned her head to look at the others. “Aheh,” Pinkie stuck out her tongue in a smile. “Pretend you didn’t-” She stopped talking, finally getting a look at Dan. Something fell in the pit of her stomach, like something had killed all the happiness and mirth from the world. Dan’s own head was started to shake- slowly, almost not noticeable at first. His face turned red, and his mouth slowly started to foam. “Soma! Pinkie! You must-” The Dovahkiin and Ralf managed to catch up with the two, and suddenly came to a complete stop. “Oh fuck!” Ralf shouted out, unable to help himself. _________________________________ Discord picked up his head, turning his head to the side. Everything went still for him, his eyes staring at a fixed point in time. “Distant? Are you ok?” Luna asked, waving a hand in front of his face. “I feel like I should be somewhere, I sense a great concentration of chaos will be unleashed. And when it hits, there shall be a great calamity...” “What are you talking about?” Celestia asked, walking in through the front door. Kefka walked in behind his “mom,” looking over at the other two collected. ___________________________________ “Kratos? Can you feel that?” Sephiroth asked, turning to look over at his fellow demigod. “Grr... I can taste that, and it even places my hairs on end,” Kratos frowned, not liking feeling frightened. Sephiroth looked down at his skirt and nodded. “It matches well with your eyes.” “Let us go, and hurry,” Kratos stepped forward, heading to the direction of Dan and the others. ___________________________________ “Do you even know how to control this thing?!” Rainbow Dash shouted out, her arms wrapped around Phoenix’s neck in a desperate attempt to keep her balance. At this speed, one tumble and they were going to break some bones. “Please! Don’t shake like that!” Phoenix cried out, trying to desperately keep himself in a straight position. With each second, they raced closer and closer to the school. It didn’t help things that the scooter was not very big, so Phoenix had to balance things very precariously. Wind blew through their hair, making it hard to hear... beeping. Coming up to their left, a large van being driven by a purple skinned girl was coming in fast. “Watch out!” Teenpool cried out, moving his hands to brace on the dashboard. “Oh crap crap crap crap!” Toph moved to wrap her arms around Sokka, who also moved his arms around her. “Who in the hell puts rockets on a scooter?! I want one of those!” Deadpool cried out, head still out the window. Little and Samus hurried to place their seat belts a bit tighter. Lyra and Octavia shut both of their eyes and hunched down. Phoenix and Rainbow turned to look at the van, going way too fast. Both started to scream since the scooter had no breaks. Twilight on her head, panicked as her eyeglasses went askew, trying to turn the van to keep from running into the two weirdoes. Other students that had gathered at the school suddenly ran from the school grounds, most of them heading to the school already. Others could only stare in shock at the van and the boosted scooter. ___________________________________ “Oh that can’t be good...” Travis said, leaning his head to the back of Logan’s seat. Logan himself started to slow down, frowning at the impending doom that was going to come once that scooter hit. Terra moved both of her hands to her mouth, for she managed to look at her phone and figure out what a tampon was. Bonus: Nurse Redheart smiled, having come to a stop outside the bathroom when a call came in. He raised the phone up and closed both of her eyes. “Hello Pootis. I missed you.” “You know I hate that name...” The voice said at the other end. “Oh Pootis, it’s so cute! What are you calling about?” “Well, it’s time. You have mission.” “A mission?! Now?” Redheart sighed and then put the phone down a moment. After a moment, she raised the phone back up. “Ok, what’s the missi- oh hey, I’m getting another call.” She flicked the phone away a moment to pick up the other line. “Fraulien, what did I say about flirting with ze Heavy?”
