//------------------------------// // Chapter 8: I Confess // Story: Twilight Sparkle and the Alicorn's Stone // by Avenging-Hobbits //------------------------------// “Well, what can I do for you?” Wilfred asked. “I’m from the police. Reports are coming in from the countryside and we suspect your harboring aliens.” Roland answered. Kyle laughed. “Aliens? Really? You must be joking.” “Yeah” Wilfred said nerviously “nothing here but us nerds.” You’ve got to be kidding Roland thought to himself. Suddenly, Jerald came up behind him. “Nothing in the next door room.” He said. “Mind if we look in here?” Roland asked. Wilfred was about to say something but then he remembered Never try to out talk the police. “Fine” Wilfred finally said. The two officers walked right in the room. Jerald looked through the main room whilst Roland headed towards the bathroom. He opened the door and pointed his gun. Nothing. He then pulled the shower curtain back and sure enough….nothing. He looked up towards the wall. Same there. He sighed and walked out. “Nothing. You?” Roland asked Jerald. “Sorry.” Jerald said. As they walked out the door Roland turned to Wilfred and Kyle. “We’ll be back, okay?” he said. “Sure.” Kyle said. “Yeah, no problem.” Wilfred said. The cops shut the door and headed for the elevator. “Back to the house?” Jerald asked. “Yeah.” Roland replied. /////////////////// Twilight ceased her invisibility spell and the ponies became visible. They sighed sighs of relief. “Are they gone?” Fluttershy asked through the door she was cautiously opening. She saw Wilfred and Kyle packing furiously. “Yes” Wilfred said “but the police will be back so we got to hit the road now!” He pointed towards the suitcases. “Get in!” he said. The ponies shuddered at the thought of going back in their suitcases. /////////////////// Judy Crane snored heavily as Wilfred, Kyle, Michael, Lily, Amanda and Grace rushed towards the door. They had made sure the cop car had left. They left, got in the van and headed in the other direction: towards the forest. Judy Crane awoke just as the van left. “I didn’t do it!” she yelled. She looked around and went back to sleep. /////////////////// Roland peeked through the binoculars as the van headed to town. “They’re heading out of town toward the forest.” He said. “Do we go after them?” Jerald asked. “No.” Roland replied “we need backup.” He picked up a phone. “Chief” he said “I’ve got them.” /////////////////// The van had stopped in a field nearby the road and everybody was busy getting ready for bed. The ponies got out of the suitcases and were stretching. Amanda tapped Wilfred on the shoulder. “Wilfred” Amanda said softly “can I talk to you?” “Sure.” Wilfred replied. They walked outside the trailer. “You see…I…I…” she started to say. Oh, I can’t stand this! she thought. Without warning she turned towards Wilfred and kissed him. In that moment it was just her and the love of her life. Alone. She then broke the kiss and turned her back towards him. “I’m sorry, Wilfred.” Amanda said “it’s just...you remind of my husband. And….I love you.” Amanda sighed disappointingly and was about to turn around when Wilfred put his hand on her shoulder. “Amanda” he finally said “I have to say…I do think you’re very pretty…” Amanda’s face lit up. “You do?” she said with hope in her voice. “Well” Wilfred said “yes. I do like spending time with you. And I love you.” So he returned the favor and kissed her back. /////////////////// At Azkaban Manor, Discord and Zecora waited. Sure enough the smoke from the castle came and turned into a figure. The figure gave Discord the staff and Discord smiled like a kid in a candy store. “At last…it is mine.” he said in a very creepy voice. “You had no trouble, did you?” The figure smiled evilly. “No problem at all.” Spike said. /////////////////// The van traveled down the road as the sun rose. The human were busy listining to a good song while the ponies were discussing their plans. “How do you think London will be?” Twilight Sparkle asked. “I must see the crown jewels” Rarity said “they must sparkle like the best fire rubies.” “I don’t think we’ll have time to enjoy it.” Trixie pointed out “The other humans will fear us. And that fear will turn to hatred.” “Wow” Pinkie Pie said “you’re so morbid.” “I think ahead.” Trixie said. “Well, thinking ahead doesn’t sound good.” Rainbow Dash said. “That’s just how it is, Rainbow.” Grace said. The ponies decided to relax. Besides, no police had followed them or seen them. Except for the cop car hiding in the brush on the side of the road. “Suspects traveling on highway bound for London” Roland said “should I follow?” “Wait ‘till there out of sight.” Victor Aaron said on the other side of the phone. The van then disappeared over the horizon. The car started, drove out of the ditch and followed. /////////////////// Discord gathered his hundreds of Changelings, diamond dogs, dragons and various other animals around him. “Now it is dawn.” Zecora said with pride in her voice. “Let the circle be drawn.” A werewolf walked up and unsheathed his sword and jabbed it into the dirt. He walked in a circle around Discord forming, well, a circle. Discord walked in it’s center, closed his eyes, sighed and spoke some gibberish. He then stabbed the staff in the circle’s center. A few seconds later the clouds swirled and lightning cracked. The wind hollowed powerfully. Suddenly a bolt of lightning headed towards the staff then a red beam of magic shot up from the staff and the two energies collided in mid-air. A they contacted, a bright light surrounded Discord, Zecora, Spike and the other creatures. They all suddenly shot up into the sky with the beam. The staff was taken as well. Then silence. All that was left was some burnt ground and Zecora’s cloak. /////////////////// “How could we run out of gas?!” Michael asked. “I don’t know.” Kyle answered “Bloody thing died on us.” “Hey, look behind us!” Lily yelled. Roland and Jerald’s police car came up right next to the van. “Oh good the cops! We can report this!” Amanda said. “Freeze!” Roland said as he got out of the car and him and Jerald pointed their guns. “Your under arrest!” “Oh, right.” Michael said.
