//------------------------------// // Chapter Four // Story: Save The World, Duh! // by TheKing2001 //------------------------------// Sunset “God walking is so weird,” Lightning muttered as we trotted down the street. “I know right?” Octavia snickered as we glanced at my family and the others who weren’t here before stumbling into each repeatedly. “It was hard to get used to before for us too.” “Here hop on,” I folded my forelegs under me and nodded to Silver Spoon and Dinky. “I might be able to carry three but definitely not all of you fillies.” Silver and Dinky nodded as they scrambled onto my back and I stood up, giggling. Their hooves tickled in all honesty. “Want a ride?” Starlight offered as she looked at Scootaloo and Ruby. “Just be careful around the horn.” “I’m fine,” Scootaloo shook her head as Ruby jumped onto Starlights back. “I’ll walk with Diamond.” “Thanks Starlight,” Ruby said as she wrapped her forelegs around Starlights neck. “No problem,” Starlight said as we waited for Twilight and the others to join us at the farm. “We need to get coffee tomorrow Sunset and Derpy.” “Okay,” I shrugged as I glanced at her. “Just us?” “Yeah please,” Starlight said nervously as her hoof made a circle in the dirt. Derpy and I made eye contact with each other and nodded. “Yeah sure. We’ll be staying the castle so you can wake us and we’ll go get breakfast together,” I said curiously. “Okay,” Starlight started trotting in a circle as Rainbow landed in front of us and shook her mane. “I swear, Steven Magnet annoys me,” Rainbow grumbled as I faintly made out the others back across the portal talking. I was starting to regret allowing us to hear them because my head hurt. “Honestly darling, he isn’t that bad!” Equestrian Rarity exclaimed. “We must look our best.” “She’s right,” Earth Rarity agreed and I had a feeling she was doing her typical hair flip thing. I reared up on my hind legs as Silver and Dinky yelped as I hugged Twilight. “It’s been too long,” Twilight mused as she hugged me back. “I see you brought Cheerilee and who I presume is the rest of your family. Hopefully my castle isn’t destroyed again by these new unicorns I see with you.” “Oh it’s in perfect condition,” I laughed as we dropped back down to all fours. “As perfect as it can be with Spike living there with you.” “Spike is a nice dragon,” Starlight interjected with a smirk. “Though he does take up all the hot water.” “Careful of the mane!” I exclaimed in pain as Dinky tugged on my mane. “Sorry!” Dinky squeaked sheepishly. “I almost fell. Can we go back to the castle now? I’m tired and cold.” “Yeah let’s go,” I answered as we turned around and started trotting back to the castle. “Your guys rooms are there,” Twilight stated to the rest of my group as she pointed a hoof. “The rest who were here before know where they are. Adagio is staying with me, Sonata and Aria get a room you get the point. I figured Sunsets family would want to be near each other.” “Don’t forget a soundproofing spell Twilight,” Aria quipped with a grin. Adagio glared at her as she whapped her sister upside the head with her hoof. “None of that will be happening!” Adagio hissed in her sisters ear as we all covered up our laughter behind our hooves. “Yeah yeah sure,” Aria grumbled as she rubbed the back of her head. “I’m going to bed. Goodnight.” “Goodnight,” I snickered as Derpy and I entered our room with Scootaloo and I shut the door behind us with my magic. “How do you think Bon Bons mom is handling Equestria?” “Oh she’s driving Bon Bon nuts,” Derpy giggled as I tossed the sheets off the bed. Sweetie Drops was a spitting image of Bon Bon except she had grey streaks in her curly pink and blue hair along with a scroll for a cutie mark. I was slightly surprised she wanted to come with but I couldn’t necessarily turn her down. She is my boss after all. “She is sharing a room with her and Lyra.” “Pity,” I said with a smirk. “At least Amethyst is sharing a room with Dinky, Ruby and my sisters.” Well all of them except Scootaloo apparently. “So we’re going to be pitching a tent around the statue,” Earth Rainbows voice tickled my ear and I jumped slightly. “Roseluck and her sisters are here too. We have a tarp covering the statue and our tent so only us can see and hear you guys.” “You’re gorgeous Derpy!” Roses voice announced happily. “You too Sunset!” “Thanks,” I smirked as I nudged Derpys wing. “Some feathers are out of place. Let me get them.” I nuzzle Derpys wing as she shivered and I spit a few broken ones out. “Done.” “Thanks,” Derpy muttered with red cheeks. “Why would you fixing her wings make her blush?” Daisy asked curiously. “Wings are sensitive just like a unicorns horn. Only family or special someone’s are allowed to touch your wings. It’s a sign of trust and affection. Pegasi are known to have group preenings,” I explained as I gave Scootaloo a stern look. “If anyone tries to preen your wings, you tell Derpy, myself or anyone else here with us immediately.” “Okay,” Scootaloo promised as she jumped on her bed. I rolled my eyes and smirked as I levitated her the rest of the way up and shoved her under the blankets. “Thanks.” “You’re welcome,” I answered as I laid in bed next to Derpy. “So what do you got planned these coming days?” Earth Fluttershy asked as I levitated a blanket over Derpy and myself. “Well breakfast with Derpy and Starlight, hanging out with Twilight and the others. Gonna try to get Lemon Hearts and my worlds version of Amethyst along with a few other classmates together for dinner,” I answered and Derpy wrapped a wing around me. “Now goodnight guys.” “Goodnight!” Blossomforth called out and I faintly made out rustling. I reached out with my magic and shut the light off.
