A sonic rainboom is something only Dash can do, when she managed to break the sound barrier, she then creates an explosion that makes a rainbow circle around her and makes a rainbow trail as she flies. To be honest, I don’t believe any of it but then I saw it.
It was another beautiful day in Equestria, the sun was shining and the birds singing their song. On the road to Ponyville walked a lonely pony, a unicorn stallion with red hair and so was his tail, his fur was grey. He was wearing a white t-skirt with a black jacket and some grey jeans he had a sword strapped to his hip.
“What a lovely day.” The unicorn said to himself. Along the road was a river so the unicorn decided to refill his water bottle, he walked over to the river it and took out a bottle from his bag, he bent down and put the bottle into the river to gather the water. He decided to take a deep breath. “It’s days like these that you appreciate life.” He finished filling up, he then placed the bottle back into the bag.
The unicorn got up and was about to start walking again, then he saw something he had never seen before. It was fox, sitting by a tree, fishing. Out of instinct, he went for his sword.
“If you are going for that sword, be ready for a fight.”
The unicorn’s eyes widen. “You can talk.”
“Yes, I can talk, I bite, and I can put up one hell of a fight.” I turned my head to face him, it was a unicorn with a sword. Yes, a unicorn was about to attack me. “Is there something I can help you with or are you going to attack me?”
“That depends, are you dangerous.”
I wasn’t sure if I heard right. “Did you just ask me if I was dangerous?”
“Yes.”
My eye started to twitch. “No, I am not dangerous, I am sitting here, and I am fishing for fuck sake. How can I cause trouble if I am doing that? I am also an intellect being who knows that different between right and wrong.” I am not sure if it help, his hand was still hanging over his sword.
He then removed it. “I am terribly sorry I saw a giant fox my instincts told me that you were dangers.” He bowed. “Again, I am sorry.”
I don’t like this guy. “Whatever don’t jump to a conclusion. Also, don’t judge a book by its cover.”
“Wise words.” He walked a little closer to me. “My name is Abyssal Shield.“ He then just waited. “This is the part where you tell me your name.”
“After what you almost did, hell no.” I could see that I hurt him, but I didn’t care. I was about to go back to fishing, but then I looked at the five fish I had. “I better call it a day, before Shy finds out.” I gather my fishing pole and my fish, I then headed back to town. As I walked back, I look back and saw that the unicorn was following me. I stop and so did he. “Is there something I can help you with?”
He shocked his head. “No, I was on my way to Ponyville.”
Great. “If you say so, just don’t reach for that sword, I don’t want to be stab in the back.” I know I was cruel, but I didn’t care and besides, it did face him at all.
As we came closer to the town, I heard a sound, wings flapping. I look up and saw Dash doing something. “What are you looking at?” The unicorn asked me, I just keep looking up.
Dash was flying around some clouds, why? I have no idea. She flew so fast that she made them spin, sometimes I hate this world and what the ponies can do here. She then flew up very high. She then took few loops and then started to fly towards the ground. “What is that pegasus doing?” The unicorn asked and I had no answer because I didn’t know.
She then flew faster and faster. “Is she trying to break the sound barrier?” The unicorn just gave me a confusing look and I was a little confused myself. She then went faster until she suddenly stopped, and she rocket through the air towards Ponyville and I knew where she was going. “Crap, she is going to hit the library.”
“How can you possible know that?” I didn’t answer him I just ran towards town and he followed me.
Once I arrived at the library, I looked through the window and I saw that Sunset was strangling Dash. Why? Books was lying on the floor and something tells me that Dash is the reason why. I place my fishing rod and fish on the ground and walked over to the door to opened it, it didn’t work. Books was probably blocking it, where’s AJ when you need her.
“What are you doing?” I saw Abyssal Shield coming towards me.
“I trying to prevent a murder.” I said as I tried to use my shoulder to open the door, it didn’t work, I wasn’t strong enough.
Abyssal Shield was confused when I mention a murder, so he walked over to the window and looked into one of them. “Oh, my lord, a unicorn mare is trying to strangle that pegasus we saw.” No shit genus.
“I know and I am trying to get the door opened so I can stop her, can’t you teleport inside?”
“I’m not going to get involved, I don’t even know those two.”
I was about to say something. “Fox, what are you doing?”
I look in the direction off the voice and it was Mac. “Mac, I am glad you are here. I need you to get the door opened, Sunset is trying to kill Dash.” That just confused Mac, but he didn’t question what I said, he just walked to the door and managed to get it opened. I really hate that he and AJ are so bloody strong.
Once inside the library, I saw that Mac had managed to pry Sunset of Dash, who was on the sitting on the ground trying to catch her breath. I walked over to her. “You ok Dash?” She nodded.
“Ok? She won’t be when I am done with her, look at what she has done to this place.” I looked around I could see every book lying on the floor. “It took me two days to place every book alphabetized and she managed to destroy it in two seconds, so why are you asking her if she is ok?”
“Because you were strangling her Sunset, killing her isn’t going to help.” I told her.
“Maybe not but it will make me feel better.” She tried to attack again but luckily for Dash, Mac was holding her back.
“Why don’t you try and calm Sunset down Mac, I will take Dash outside, away from her.” Mac nodded and I lead Dash out.
Once outside, Dash sat down on the bench that was by library. She was rubbing her neck. “Ok Dash, now that your life isn’t in danger anymore, might telling me what the hell you were doing.”
“I was trying to break the sound barrier.”
“The sound barrier? Why?”
“Dash was trying to create a sonic boom.” That was Pinkie who just pop out of a bush. “When Dash fly fast enough, BOOM.” She jumped into the air. “A sonic boom and a rainbow happened all at once.” I want to tell her that it is impossible, but considering we live in this crazy world, I am don’t know anymore. “And Dash here is the only one that have ever done it.”
“It was a long time go.”
Then Fluttershy arrived. “Rainbow Dash, you rock, woo who.” She said in her normal quiet voice.
“Why are you cheering for her?” I asked her.
“She is coming to Cloudsdale with me tomorrow and cheer for me when I am competing in the best young flyer competition.”
“And what is this competition?” I asked her.
“It’s when the best pegasus flyer get together and show off their different flying styles and winner get to spend entire day with the Wonderbolts.”
Everyone was silence, it wasn’t Pinkie who said it but Abyssal Shield. Dash managed to say something. “Yeah, that’s right. Who the heck are you?”
He wanted to answer but I beat him to it. “He is the unicorn who tried to kill me.” Everyone eyes widen when I said and Abyssal Shield started to sweat, me? I just had a goofy smile.
Shy was the first one to say something. “You tried to kill Fox? HOW DEAR YOU. He is the most kindest fox around and what give you the right to try and kill him.” She was about to punch him, and I had to hold her back.
“Take it easy Shy, I was only joking.” They weren’t happy by that. “It was a joke, a bad one.”
“You shouldn’t joke about this stuff.”
“No, Shy. I shouldn’t. But he thought about it.”
Abyssal Shield but up both hands in defence after I said that. “That’s because I am a mercenary and adventurer, I see a lot of different thing and a fox on two legs was something I had never seen before. So yes, I reached for my sword, it was pure instinct.”
After he said that, Pinkie was in his face. “I am watching you mister.” She said in some sort of threating voice. “I am also going to throw you a party since you are new in Ponyville.” And then she was gone.
The unicorn just stood there. “What just happened?”
I walked over to him and patted him on the shoulder. “Trust me, it’s better not knowing.” I looked over to Dash. “Are you going to be ok?” She nodded. “Good, try not to crash into the library in the future.” She just rolled her eyes of what I said. “Well, if you all will excuse me.” I walked over to my fish. “I have some fish to gut.” I heard Shy gasp when I said that. “Yes Fluttershy, I have catch fish. I need meat and considering the cakes won’t let me order meat anymore, this is the only way I can get protein.” I didn’t let her answer I just grabbed my fish and headed home.
After I got home, I gutted my fish and after wards I headed towards the couch, lay down in it and let out heavy sigh. You might wonder why I acted so weird the reason is that Blitz broke up with me after a week of dating. A fucking week, I think I sat a record when it come to the shortest relationship, ever.
I don’t know how long I lay there but it had to been while considering that Shadow walked in the door. “I’m home.” She walked into the living room she then saw me lying on the couch. “Dad, are you ok?” I just shock my head. “Are you still sad because Blitz broke up with you and left Ponyville.” I nodded. “I am sure you will find the perfect mare, someday.” That made me smile.
“Thanks Shadow, I needed that.”
She then gave me a hug. “Your welcome Dad. I am heading upstairs to do my homework.” She did that.
Right after I heard her door closed, I heard the front door opened and in walked Falco. “I fucking hate my job as a busboy, today I cleaned the hole fucking kitchen and I didn’t even get paid for the job.” He closed the door and walked into the kitchen, then I heard he opened the refrigerator door. “Do you know what I did next?” He closed the door and came out with a beer. “I quit and to make sure that they didn’t hired me again, I bunched my boss in the face.”
I used my arms to look up. “You punched your boss in the face?”
“Dame straight I did.” He sat down in my chair. “He was a loosie boss and the perfect way to lose your job is to bunch your boss in the face.” He said the whole thing with a smile on his face.
I laid back in couch. “You are one of kind Falco.”
“Dame straight.” He sounded proud of what I said, only Falco. “What’s wrong with you?” I didn’t answer him. “Are you sad that Blitz broke up with you and left town?”
“Why do you ask question you already know the answer for?” I told him with irritation.
“Hey, don’t bite me head of just because she broke up with you.”
“She didn’t break up with me, she he had to go home and we weren’t actually dating, we had one date.” I told him.
“She broke up you.” I let out a heavy sigh. “Hey, there’s plenty of mares out there, I am sure there’s one for you out there.”
“Forget it, I am done with dating. I am going to grow old alone and die alone.” I leaned up again. “And what about you? I thought you would have a harem by now.”
He looked at his beer. “I have been looking at some mares but none yet.” He took a sip of the beer. “But a harem sound like an idea.” I just gave him an amusing smile. “Oh, ha ha ha. Falco is trying to date many mare’s, just laugh it off.”
I lay down again. “You can probably hit on mare at Pinkie’s party this later today.”
“Pinkie is having a party.” I nodded. “That’s mean there’s a new pony in town.” Oh, there is. “I wonder if she’s finish with the decoration yet.”
“Knowing her, yes, she is done.” I heard him getting up. “You’re going now?” I asked him without looking at him.
“No, I am going to take a walk and then I am going to the party. Are you coming?” I gave him a thumbs down. “Suit yourself, more food for me.” I heard him walked into the kitchen before he went out the main door. “That guy.” I went back to staring at the celling.
Later that evening, ponies where gathering at Sugarcube corner. When Falco walked in, he could see most of the town had showed up. He noticed that some of the mare where looking at him as he entered, they looked away and blushing when he looked at them, he couldn’t help but smile.
Then a pony he didn’t want to talk to came bouncing towards him. “Hey Falci, where’s Fox?” Pinkie said with a smile.
“My name is Falco and if you want to stay on my good side, I suggest you say it right.”
Pinkie just keep her smile. “You got it.”
Falco saw that he didn’t take it seriously. “To answer your question, Fox wasn’t in the mood for a party." He look around. "By the way, who is new pony in town?” Falco asked party pony.
“He’s name is Abyssal Shield and he is standing by the wall over there.” Pinkie said while pointing at a pony.
Falco looked where she was pointing, and he saw a unicorn. The unicorn hair and tail were red, his fur was grey. He was wearing a white t-skirt with a black jacket and he a pair of grey jeans. It looked to Falco that this Abyssal Shield didn’t want to be here, at all. Falco decided to have talk with this new stallion.
Abyssal was just leaning on the wall, not understanding why this Pinkie wanted to throw him a party. He told her that he wasn’t going to stay in Ponyville but she didn’t listen, so he decided to stay for a little while and leave. He then noticed a stallion walking towards him, the stallion had light blue fur and his tail/mane had darker blue. What caught his attention was the stallion was red around his eyes, Abyssal had never seen that before.
“So, you’re the new pony in town.” Said the stallion as he approached.
“That’s right, my name Abyssal Shield.” He reached out a hand. “Nice to meet you.”
The stallion stopped not far from him, he didn’t shake his hand he just crossed his arms. “Falco Lombardi.”
“You’re the first pony that hasn’t shake my hand.” He said with some disappointment.
Falco just ignored it. “So, what’s your story? Why are you here?”
“My story isn’t that exciting I am just a traveling mercenary and adventurer”
The word mercenary got Falco’s attention. “What’s a mercenary doing in Ponyville?”
“I am going to answer you like the others, I am just passing through. Now, if you will excuse me.” He got off the wall. “I am tired and going to bed.” He then walked past Falco and exit the building.
Falco just watch as he left. One thing was sure, something was off with that pony. There was no way a mercenary was just ‘passing through’ town, that guy was up to something. That Falco sure off.
“Falco dear, is it possible we can ask you something?” Falco couldn’t help but groan when he heard that voice, it was another pony he didn’t want to talk to, Rarity.
He looked in the direction where her voice where coming from, she was sitting by a table with Applejack. He didn’t understand why Rarity wanted to talk to him, she wasn’t his biggest fan. Considering she didn’t like that he cruse. He liked Applejack she didn’t mind the cursing.
He decided to find out what they wanted. “What do you want Rarity?” He asked her while walking towards them.
Rarity could hear that he wasn’t please. “We just wanted to ask you something, that’s all.”
He stopped by the table and crossed his arms. “What?” He said annoyance in his voice.
“You don’t have to take that tone we just want to talk. Nothing more.” Falco groan again, he just which that she would ask the question.
“How is Fox?” Applejack asked him. Rarity looked at her friend with narrows eyes, which Applejack ignored.
“He is doing ok for someone that was pump by his marefriend after one week. “Falco answered her. Applejack nodded. “You two don’t blame him for this?”
Rarity put a hand on her chest. “How dare you? It wasn’t Fox’s fault that Blitz had to move back home.” Falco just rolled his eyes of the dramatic way she said it.
“I was just asking you don’t have to become all high and mighty on me.”
Rarity gasp when she heard that. “I am not high and mighty.”
Falco rubbed his tempest. “Whatever, look. He doesn’t want to admit but he isn’t doing well, he really like Blitz and it hit him hard that she had to move back to Sunshore city.” That made AJ and Rarity to looked down on the table. “What? Do you two blame yourself?” They nodded. “Oh, come on, it’s not your fault that Blitz had to move back. If you two really want to feel better, then fine a date for Fox.”
AJ looked up at him. “How? The mares in Ponyville don’t want to date him because he is a fox.”
“Then looked outside Ponyville, think outside the box.”
“We don’t know any other ponies outside Ponyville, we haven’t been to another town yet.” Rarity told him.
Falco couldn’t help but slap a hand on his face when he heard that. “That’s just great.” He let out a sighed. “Then we have to wait and see if the perfect mare to Fox just happened to walk into town.” He then rubbed his eyes. “As if that is going to happened.” Falco then looked at AJ. “Let’s talk about something ells, are you hiring?”
AJ raised a brow when he said that. “Why are you asking?”
“Because I quite me job as a busboy and I was hoping you were hiring.”
Applejack thought for a moment, she needs more help on farm since Fox can’t help her with apple bucking. “I don’t know, do you have strong legs?”
“I don’t know, I have never used them to apple bucking before, all I am asking that you will give me a chance.”
Applejack bite her lover lip, she was unsure. She didn’t know Falco that well, but Fox trusted him. “Fine, show up at farm on Wednesday and we will see how it’s goes.”
That made Falco smile. “Thanks Applejack, you won’t regret it. Also, heard that you guys are going to Cloudsdale tomorrow, can I join you guys?”
Applejack and Rarity looked at each other, confused. Then back at Falco “Why?” Applejack asked him.
Falco just shrugged his shoulders. “No reason, I just want to see the city, that’s all.”
“If you want then I am not going to stop you, we are leaving tomorrow morning from the library.”
“Thanks AJ.” He then looked at some mares. “Now, if you will excuse me, I am going to flirt with some mares.” He then walked off.
Rarity looked as Falco walked from then and then she looked at her friend. “Are you sure you want to hire the brute?”
“I admit that he swears a lot but Fox trust him and for that, I am willing to give him a chance.” She was hoping it wouldn’t come back and bite it her ass.
I hate waking up in the morning now these days, ever since Blitz left, I have felt like carp and the morning is the worst. I had just finished getting on some clean clothes, I was then walking down the stairs to get some breakfast. To my surprise, Falco was already having breakfast. Falco isn’t the one you would call a morning bird, or pony. He was eating cereal.
He looked up from his bowl when he saw me. “You look like crap.”
I just rolled my eye. “Thanks, I needed that.” He was right, I felt like crap.
I walked over to get a bowl of my own. “Did you even sleep last night?” He asked me as I opened the cupboard door.
“Somehow.” I fix myself some cereal and sat down by kitchen table. He kept looking at me with a worried face. “What?”
“You need help.”
“I am fine.”
“You are not fine Fox, ever since Blitz left you have been acting weird. You have trouble sleeping, you have distance yourself from your friends…”
I hit my hand on the table. “Then find me a girlfriend that won’t leave me, judge me or die.” That made him shut up.
We went back to our breakfast, not talking to each other. We were almost finish without food when Shadow came down the stairs
She walked into the kitchen, she let out yawn. “Hey kiddo, ready for school?” I asked her.
“I guess so.” She sat down by the table, she laid her arms on the table and put her head on them. “It’s so boring.”
“School is meant to be boring.” I looked at Falco with narrow eye. “What?”
“You are not helping.” I got up. “Let me get you breakfast Shadow.” That made her smile.
“Hey dad.” Dad, I am still getting used to that. “Is it possible me and Dinky can go to Ruby’s house after school.”
Ruby Pinch, earth pony and little sister to this town drunk, Berry Punch. Shadow and Dinky became friends with her not long ago and have become good friends since.
“Sure, as long as you are home before dark.”
She got up and gave me a hug. “Thanks dad.”
Then Falco was finished. “Well, I am off to Cloudsdale. See you two later today.” He walked out.
“Why are Falco going to Cloudsdale?” Shadow asked me.
“I have no idea.” She was happy with my answer I really did not know why was going to Cloudsdale. He wasn’t to cheer for Dash, that’s for sure. “Eat some breakfast and get ready for school.” She did that.
After Shadow left, I decided to get ready for the day. “Time to capture a unicorn.” I went to the basement and got some rob, left the house and started to walk out of town.
When Fox exited his house, a couple of eyes followed him. Ass the fox walked out of town, a shadow figure followed him. The figure followed him. “Where is he going?” The figure asked himself.
It didn’t take long before both were in the woods outside Ponyville. The figure stopped by a tree when Fox stopped. ‘Should I do this? He is a father after all.’ He looked down on the ground. ‘It’s wrong to kill a father, I am not going to do it.’ The figure looked up and notice that Fox was gone. “Where did he go?”
“Right behind you.” Before the figure could react, he saw a tree stump heading towards his face, then everything went black.
After I had tied up him up, I decided to wake him up, by slapping him the face. “Wake up Abyssal Shield.” I had tied him up against a tree, he was sitting on the ground. I didn’t want him to be uncomfortable. I am getting to soft for my own good.
The unicorn groaned. “My head, what hit me?” He then tried to move. “What the? Why am I tied up?”
“You are tied up because you were trying to kill me.” I told him.
He looked up at me and boy was he shocked. “How did you know?”
“Easy, I just be a mercenary myself once and I can spot one when I see one. Now.” I pointed his sword at him. “You are going to tell me who hired you and why and don’t lei to if you want to keep that horn off yours and your life.”
He started to panic when I said that. “I don’t know who hired me, I never see the ponies face. I don’t even know if it was a mare or a stallion.”
“How the hell don’t you know that? It’s pretty easy to tell the different between a mare and a stallion.”
“I don’t know because the pony was wearing a hood and he/she had put a spell on the voice so I couldn’t tell. Please, don’t kill me.”
“Why shouldn’t I? Someone hired you to kill me.”
“I am not going to do it anymore.” Ok, that caught my attention. “I can’t kill a father.” “How about that, if I hadn’t adopted Shadow, I’m might be dead now. “I swear on my mother and father name that I have no reason to kill you anymore.” He meant every word, I could tell. I might regret what I am about to do next.
I lifted the sword over my head, he closed his eyes when I did that. I didn’t kill him, I just cut him free. He opened his eyes and was confused, that’s for sure.
“You are letting me go?” He looked up at me. “Why?”
“Because, you are a mercenary with honour, and I respect that.” I tossed his sword beside him. “Just don’t make me regret it.”
“You won’t.” He picked up his sword and stood up. “I swear that I somehow will make it up to you.”
I just gave him a blanked stare after he said that. “Whatever you say.” Then a thought hit me. “Who much?”
He gave me a confused look. “Excuse me?”
“How much did that pony pay you to kill me?”
He let out a oh. “Fifty thousand bites.”
I think my brain just shut down. “Fifty thousand bites?” He nodded. “Are you fucking kidding me?”
He then shocked his head. “I met the pony in Canterlot where I was given the money, I was then told who my target and where it was, I left for Ponyville.”
Fifty thousand bites, I would be cheering for that kind of money. Unfortunately, that was my bounty. I have a felling who but that price on my head, but I don’t have any evidence.
“What are you going to do now?”
“I am going to send a letter to the one who hired me and tell him/her that I was unable to kill my target.”
I couldn’t help but question what he just said. “Send a letter? How are you going to do that? You don’t know who it is.”
“The pony gave me magic fire that I could use when the job was done.”
I should have known, magic, I hate magic. “What about the money?” I had to know.
“I am not sure, maybe buy a house in Ponyville and give away the rest to ponies that need it.” Not what I expected, at least he has a good heart, for a mercenary. After this, we went back to town. I head towards AJ’s farm to blow of some steam, by hitting the punching bag they have there. “Wait.” What now? “Are you going to tell the rest of the town of my action?” Now, that’s is a question.
I could tell them what he was paid to do and hope that they believe him that he didn’t do it, or there’s a chance that they would drive him out of the town. That’s not the what he wants to know.
“No, I am not going to tell them.” He was shock when I said that. “That’s something you have to do, you accept the contract, you can tell them.” He ears fell when I said that. “Look on the bright side, you didn’t kill me.” Probably not what he wanted to hear but I told him the what I thought.
After my talk with him, I went to the farm. Mac had no problem that I used the punching bag, I had used it either way. I don’t know how long I had been there I was just so frustrated, Blitz leaving and now someone want’s me dead. This is not what I imagined what would happen in this world, I didn’t imagine too become one of the elements of harmony either, but it happened.
I was about to punch the bag again when I suddenly heard an explosion, it sounded like one. The hole thing was funny, the ground didn’t shake but the sky did? I hurried outside to find out what the hell happened and boy I got a shock, I saw a giant rainbow circle that spread out over Equestria. “What the hell?” That was the only thing I could say. I also saw Mac not far from me who also had the same expression that I had. There was only one pony who could have done this and that’s Dash.
After the show, I head home to have a shower. I was sweating like a pig I had no idea how long had been punching that bag. I took a shower, put on some new clothes and lay down on the couch, again.
As soon as my ass hit the couch, the door opened, and Falco walked in. “What a day, Rarity getting butterfly wings and Dash breaking the sound barrier, can this world get any weirder?” Trust me, it can. He then saw me, lying on the couch. “Seriously? Again?” I just waved him off.” You seriously need to get laid.”
I bolted up when he said that. “What does my sex life have to me being depressed?”
He shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know, it just looked like you need to get laid.”
I just started at him. “Sometimes I wonder if I know you at all Falco.”
I he sat down I the chair. “Yeah, me to.”
I just shock my head. “You said something about Rarity getting butterfly wings.”
He blinked a couple of time. “Oh, right. Apparently, Twilight gave Rarity wings yesterday.”
“Why did she give Rarity wings?”
“They needed some way get to Cloudsdale so, Twilight found a spell that gave a pony wings. But that was pointless.” I couldn’t help but raise an eye brown of that. “Sunset then told them about a spell that made unicorn and earth ponies walk on clouds, which was pretty cool by the way.”
“Ok, I can see that. What happened at the competition? I am guessing that Sunset didn’t kill Dash.”
Falco snorted. “Hell no, I would admit that would be cool. No, Sunset stayed behind to fix the mess Dash did to the library. Sunset did say something about letting Dash pay for what she did.” He looked uneasy when he said that. “Somehow, that scared me.”
I just smiled. “Yeah, Sunset can be scary at times.”
“I am not denying that.” He leaned back in the chair. “Anyway, we walk through the rainbow factory and Pinkie tried to eat the rainbow. I am possible it didn’t taste good, considering her face change colour multiple time. We meet some ponies that went to the same school as Dash, they were bullies.”
Oh no. “Don’t tell me you hurt them?”
“I almost, I am not sure why I let them bully her.”
I sat up. “Wait a minute, are you telling that they still bullied her?” He nodded. “Oh my… crow up will you.”
He laughed. “I thought the same thing. Then it was time for the competition, and I didn’t help Fluttershy made Dash nervous.” Why am I not surprised about that? “And that Rarity decided to compete.”
“Come again?”
“Some ponies said that Rarity should enter because she had ‘pretty’ wings, that made Dash even more nervous.” Way to go Rarity. “Then the whole thing started and Celestia showed up.”
That was first time Falco saw Celestia. “What do you think about her?”
He taped his chin. “I don’t know, there was something about her that rubbed me the wrong way. It was like she was hiding something.” I thought so. “Then he Wonderbolts showed up, making their enters with black smoke, show off.” I could help but smirk when he said that. “Then they made an explosion in the sky.” He then rolled his eyes. “I could do better if I was a Pegasus.” Something tells me he could. “But here’s the funny part, one of them look kind of familiar, like have seen the pony before.”
“Who?” I had to ask.
“I don’t know, it was kind of hard to tell thanks to that stupide costume they were wearing. Blue with some yellow? Come on, those two colours don’t match.” He just threw his arms up in frustration.
“Beside bad costume, what ells happened?”
“There were many pegasus who tried to win, many was pretty good but not all and Dash was a nervous wreck.” I am not surprised about that. “Then it was Dash and Rarity’s turn.”
“Wait, they did at the same time?” Falco nodded. “Why?”
“They were the last two and let me tell you, Rarity look ridiculous. Am not going to explain how she looked, I just want to forget it all.” That’s fair. “Rarity did some ballet dance in the air, I almost puck just looking at her. Then I was Dash, she started to fly zigzag around some clouds, but she crashed at the end. I felt bad for her when that happened.” That surprised me. “Rarity did whatever she was doing, I was more focus on Dash then her. Then Dash flew up and started to fly around some clouds and that made them spin.” Now that sound familiar. “Unfortunately, she was hit by a smaller cloud and that send the bigger cloud towards Celestia, she manged to duck and the cloud missed her. I had hope that cloud hat hit her.” I bet.
“Man, I am thirsty.” He stood up. “I am going to get some water.” He walked to the kitchen and came back with a glass of water he sat down and took sip from it. “Now, where was I? Oh yes, cloud and Celestia. While Dash a trouble, Rarity was wowing the hole crowd. Then they flew up and when they were high enough up, Rarity’s wings started to disappear.” I was confused when he said that, and he saw that. “Twilight said something that the wings weren’t supposed to get hot or something, if they did, they would disappear, I am not sure what she said, I kind of tuned out when she started to talk.” That don’t surprise me at all.
“Then she started to fall towards the ground and before you ask, no. I didn’t do anything.” I gave him a disappointing look. “What was I suppose to do? Fall to my death? I don’t have wings.” I’ll give him that.
“Then what happened?”
“The Wonderbotls flew after her.”
Say what. “What about Celestia? Didn’t she tried to save Rarity?”
He shocked his head. “Nope, she just stood there, it looked like she didn’t care at all.” That doesn’t sound like a ruler. “Back to the story, the Wonderbolts flew after but they didn’t manage to save her, she knocked them out cold while they were trying to save her.” Of course, she did. “Then Dash flew down to save them and then it happened, she flew so fast that she managed to break the sound barrier and create…”
I cut him off. “I saw that part I am pretty sure half of the planet saw the rainbow.”
“Yeah, I guess so.” He took a slip of his water.
“What happened next?” I asked him.
“Well, Dash won, Rarity apologized and the Celestia started to talk about friends and all that crap, I kind of stop listing.”
“Tell me you didn’t ask her why she didn’t save Rarity.” He just gave me an evil smile and I couldn’t help but groan. “Damn it Falco.”
“What? She is the ruler and she didn’t bother to save Rarity at all, of course I asked her.”
I rub my face. “What did she do?”
“Nothing.” I looked at him with a surprised face. “She did nothing, she didn’t even bother to answer me. She just gave me a creepy smile that made me almost puck.”
I didn’t not expect that, the part that Celestia didn’t do anything not the puck part. “I guess you had a normal day?”
He snorted. “A little to normal for my taste.” He stood and stretched his body. “Well, I am going to take a shower.”
“You do that.” I laid my body down on the couch again.
“I have a date tomorrow with Octavia Melody.” He said while walking towards the shower.
I couldn’t help but smile, Falco has a date with… I bolted up again. “What?”
