I arrived to where Applejack, Fluttershy, and Twilight were. I look around to see no sight of any other ponies towards the road to town. I look back to see Applejack and Twilight looking up at the gigantic cloud house. I see Fluttershy knock on the door and open it up. She flew and and closed the door behind her.
“They must have asked her to go talk to Rainbow the same way I asked Applejack to talk to Fluttershy.”
Both ponies lower their heads and look at each other before looking over at me. Twilight was the first to speak.
“We asked Fluttershy to tell Rainbow Dash about you and why I was here.”
“Good idea.”, I say.
“I see you can do somethings without me.”
Twilight chuckled as Applejack walked over to me.
“Nah I ain't one to ask questions, but all of Fluttershy's questions gave me one of my own..”
She sat down in front of me having a quizzical look on her face.
“What species are you?”
I blinked as I remember the world I had lived in before the incident. It was a world beginning to flow with hatred and violence. I always hated the way things turned out for everyone, not just in New York. Starving kids in third world countries. Natural disasters making living hard for some. Weapons being created to destroy others with the same weapons. It was a quickly dark growing world. I just look at Applejack and Twilight who joined by her side, sitting down waiting for the answer.
“Human.”, I say in a monotone voice.
“Hew-men?”, Twilight said, comically mispronouncing it.
“Yes. We are bipedal, omnivore, and are constantly in an arms race.”
“Arms race?”, Applejack said not liking the idea of what that sounded like.
“Weapons race as you would call it here probably.”
“Is it bad being human?”, Twilight said with a little worry in her eyes.
“No.”
I fold my hands behind my head and look up, still taken by the colorful sky.
“Some days are better than others, and some days are miserable. But in the end it's not what is bad that makes you miserable, it's what good you don't have anymore.”
“I can't have the good anymore when I can't feel anything for this job.”
I look down at the faces of the ponies. Nothing but pure sorrow in there eyes of what I have told them. Losing friends and my home. All for nothing but more things to make me feel bad. They both jumped up and hugged me tightly. I was stunned by their actions of doing so. They both felt sorry for me, and so did I. Never again being able to make friends. Never stopping and always going. I have to try my best to keep my feeling locked up in this world, otherwise I might never leave.
They both loosened their grip and fell on all fours in front of me. The sorrow replaced by sadness as the Unicorn began to speak.
“It must be hard not making friends doing the things you do huh?”
I look down at Twilight and answer with a simple nod.
“Friends in this job are a burden to me, not a gift. I have to stay as distant as possible so as to not feel sadness from my departure.”
I sigh.
“But that does not have to be the same for you. You two and the others can think of me as a friend, but I can only think of you as a job.”
The two ponies nod as the door to the cloud house swings open.
Rainbow Dashed peaked over the shoulder of the balcony door way to see me and the two looking up at her. She stared at me for a while before looking down at the other two. Fluttershy flew past her and landed near me with a smile on her face. She looked up at me and gave me the smile. I just look down at her and try not to just go DA'WWWW at the sight. I look back up at Rainbow who had lost her grim stare and was replaced with surprise. She must not have expected Fluttershy to just fly right to my side. With that, she flew down to ground level, but stayed in the air to keep eye contact with me.
“So you are The Assistant?”, She questioned looking my clothes and face over.
“Yes. And I assume you are Rainbow Dash, correct?”, I say, tilting my head and giving a smile.
“Yes it is.”
She continued glaring at me and making sure I wasn't trying anything funny before landing on the ground. She looked over to Twilight which caused Twilight to wince at the glare she gave her. Twilight slowly walked over to Rainbow and began her apology.
“Rainbow... I should never had yelled at you or the others. I was just angry over a stupid book, and I know how much you hate books. So I know the element of loyalty would never do something like that. Will you forgive me?”
Twilight looked to the ground and began to dig at the dirt. Rainbow kept the same look on her face for a minute, but then something changed. Her left eye began to twitch a little as her wings extended. She then flapped her wings and took off in the direction of Twilight, tackling her in a hug. This caused the other two ponies to gasp as Twilight and Rainbow rolled in the grass.
“OH TWILIGHT! OF COURSE I FORGIVE YOU!”, Said Rainbow Dash with tears in her eyes.
They both embraced each other in a hug before they got up and began to walk over to the others. This made me feel that these six seemed to be the closest of friends and that nothing could break up a friendship this powerful. I began to regret ever seeing this place for it might change me back to my saddened days.
The four ponies now looking over at me and wondering what now.
“Right.”, I began trying to forget about my own personal dilemmas.
“Applejack, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash. You three go talk to Rarity. I will stay here with Twilight.”
“Why does she have to stay?”, Questioned Rainbow Dash.
“I need some answer to questions that only she can answer for me.”
“W-what about m-me?”, Fluttershy asked.
“I just want to ask Twilight. I will answer any other questions later. Right now, you three need to get over to Rarity's ASAP.”
Applejack and Rainbow Dash nodded and began to walk towards town when they noticed one of them wasn't moving.
“Come on Fluttershy!”, Rainbow yelled back.
“I want to stay here with The Assistant.”, She said in an almost inaudible squeak.
“He said we needed to go so lets go sugarcube.”, Applejack said in a lower tone than Rainbow's.
“It's okay if she stays with me. I did say I would answer her questions about me anyway.”
“Alright. If you say so.”, Applejack said turning around heading back to town with Rainbow Dash.
“Yay!”, Fluttershy squeaked.
I just rub my forehead, knowing she will be the death of me with her adorableness.
