Chapter 7: Settled?

I only figured out later who had sawed her in half," Grif said with a shudder. "It was the Meta."

"Yeah Grif, only you would dream of that." Church said sarcastically. "We all have had experiences with him."

"No shit, just listen. He specifically asked me in his voice that he claimed he got from this "world". He then asked me why I was here. So doesn't that seem a little bit too real?

"Hmm," Church sighed, "I guess it's a bit more real for comfort, but that doesn't mean that he is back."

"Yeah, I just want to go one night without something fucking weird happening."

"Don't get your hopes up," Tex chuckled.

"Yeah with you around, when will my life ever be normal?"

"Guys, this is getting us nowhere, Grif seems fine, I just want to finish my sleep..." Tucker said yawning.

"Yeah I guess your right, Grif and Tucker come on lets go," Rainbow Dash said readying herself to fly.

"Can't we go somewhere that doesn't require physical exercise?" Grif asked with a whine.

"Haha, no," Dash smirked.

"Ugh fine," Grif reluctantly got up and walked outside. Rainbow, Tucker, and Grif all took off and flew back to Rainbow's house.

"Ah reckon Ah should be heading off too, Washington and Sarge, are yall ready?"

"As long as I don't get kicked by Tex on the way out then yeah," Washington said with a sigh.

"Heh, you killed me Wash, don't get your hopes up," Tex watched as he, Sarge, and Applejack left. Tex gasped when she remembered something. "Church! You didn't remind me to kick Tucker in the balls!"

"Oh shit, guess i'll remember next time," Church replied sarcastically.

"You had one job..." Tex growled.

"Yeah, shouldn't you be used to me failing my one job?"

"I guess I should... If you don't remind me tomorrow, you will be getting kicked with Tucker."

"Fine, fine," Church sighed.

"Twilight um... I think i'll go now..." Fluttershy said hiding behind her hair.

"Ok, hey why didn't you bring the 3 siblings and their robot?"

"They don't really know these ponies, that's what they told me."

"Yeah she's right Twilight, Jake, Melissa, and Tom don't know us." Church cut in.

"Oh, ok I thought they would because you where all the same species and all."

"Yeah... Well I'm going to bed." Church and Tex walked up to their room and settled in the bed.

"Twilight darling, I don't feel comfortable with so many unknown ponies around."

"I understand Rarity, just try not to show that to them."

"I have ears you know," Simmons said frowning.

"Still, you seem more trustworthy than them, I just don't feel comfortable with them around you know?"

"Yeah, I guess, they can be pretty annoying and violent at times, but we all have been to hell and back many times."

Twilight and Rarity just simply stared at him for a second trying to find something to say. They looked away when they couldn't. Rarity walked out the door with Simmons and Twilight waved at them. She went back inside and closed the door, content everypony was gone. She went over to the couch and sat down. She couldn't believe that she and her friends where now housing 11 aliens. She thought of how they could earn their cutie marks but came up with nothing. She figured that they would do what they wanted to and get them that way.

Twilight arose from her couch and walked upstairs to her bed. She settled down and tried to go to sleep but figured she couldn't. So she laid awake until her body decided to go to sleep. She thought of how the aliens would treat the other ponies. Their language wasn't exactly the type that was friendly. She would need to talk to them about it. For now she had to concentrate on going to bed. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.


"So you guys going to go to sleep for the rest of the night this time?" Rainbow Dash had arrived at her house with the two aliens moments ago.

"Yeah as long as dipshit over here doesn't have another dumbass nightmare."

"Shut up, you didn't have that much of a better dream."

"Atleast I didn't scream in my sleep."

"You have a way to worm out of everything, don't you?"

"I take pride in it too," Tucker smirked.

Rainbow Dash stood in the doorway of her bedroom laughing at the two bickering. She couldn't help but wonder why they bickered so much. She decided she wouldn't figure out anything if she didn't ask.

"Why do you guys fight so much?"

"Because he's an asshole," Tucker replied without turning his head from Grif.

"So are you dumbass," Grif replied.

"Fair enough, I'm tried so you two can fight like an old married couple. Also you can fight over who gets the bed, i'll see you guys in the morning."

Tucker and Grif never stopped fighting so Rainbow just shrugged and went to her bed. She looked it over and laid down. She thought about what might happen in with these two in her house. Her mind went to a particularly naughty thought. "Oh no! That is not happening!" She quickly covered her mouth with her hoof realizing she had just said that out loud.

"What's not happening Dash?" Tucker yelled from the other room.

"Oh nothing, don't worry about it," She smirked knowing they wouldn't expect a thing.

"Well when your done thinking naughty thoughts I'll ask again."

Dash's mouth flopped open not understanding how he knew that. She gained her composure back and blushed. "How did you know I was thinking naughty things?"

"I didn't but I do now!" Tucker yelled back.

Dash facehoofed knowing she had just fell for the oldest trick in the book. "I hate you so much right now." Dash yelled back.

"No need to yell, I'm sleeping in there tonight," Tucker replied.

She quickly went to her bed and scooted to the side as much as possible, she hoped that he wouldn't try anything in her sleep. She smirked knowing if he did she would kick his flank out of her house.
