Boxes lie in the main hallways of the three roomed apartment. Boxes marked by different labels to indicate what each and every thing is inside of them. From dishes to box of paper. The owner of the abode is currently not home. But who is home are some of the occupants. A rainbow blur flies through the living room that is the biggest of the three small rooms. The Bathroom is barely anything but a simple shower, sink, and toilet. The bed room is a bed and a desk pushed into the right hand corner along with small chest at the foot of it to put clothes in. Nothing more nothing less.
It was boring and confined. Much to the rainbow blur's displeasure. She hated being confined into spaces like this. But since she didn't want to cooperate with the others that went out with the owner, she has to entertain herself. The only other creature with it is a girl that sits on the couch in front of the T.V, currently off, drawing on some paper with different colored pencils. She kicks her feet back and forth humming a song to herself as she draws her self, red dress, cute re-dyed red head band cat ears, and pink and white backpack. Her hair is a bit more flowey than it actually should be, but the bear she talks about is under her as she rides on its flaming back pointing forward as if she's commanding it into battle.
The rainbow blur slows down above the girl as she draws to reveal itself as a cyan Pegasus with a rainbow mane of red, yellow, orange, green, blue, and purple. Both her mane and tail is like this in different variety. Her coat is smoothed down from grooming of her friend that isn't currently here. She has a tattoo on her flank that resembles a white cloud with a tri colored, red, yellow, blue, lightning bolt coming out of it.
The pegasus floats above the girl as she starts drawing more figures around her and her bear. She can tell by the first bit of the drawing that she's drawing the owner. The only one who seems to give any of them notice. She's currently drawing his shoes. Classic black tennis shoes.
"So what are you drawing this time?"
"Our battle team!" She cries out happily looking up at the pegasus flying above her.
"Our battle team?" the pegasus asks curious.
"Yea!"
The pegasus doesn't really want to know why they need a battle time so she continues to fly about wishing the crew that has left would hurry up and return so she can entertain herself. Sure the place has no kitchen, but who really needs to eat anyway! All that unimportant stuff is down stairs.
She sighs and flies into the bathroom for the umpteenth time to stare at her own reflection. She grimace at the face that looks back. She can admit she's seen better days. Her right eye is a dark blue and her other eye is a light blue color from the magic effect and she has a long scar running down her nose. From her temple all the way down. Sometimes she asks herself how is she even alive and she starts feeling funny all over, but it doesn't matter. She's here and she'll keep being here.
It takes another twenty minutes before the door sounds it's lock being unlocked. The first to immerge from behind the door is the purple unicorn that managed to help her out with her injuries. The unicorn's horn is long and pointy, she has dark purple and light purple mane and tail, and currently has a bandage on her right cheek. She probably hurt herself again. She's always been the klutz of the group.
"Thank god you guys are back! Annie is sooooooo boring!" The pegasus cries out flying in front of the door.
"That's not nice Dash." the owner, five eight, brown and silver hair that comes down his back in dreads, wearing a black button up shirt, blue jeans, glasses with a very large black outline, a necklace around his neck that is a guitar pick with a skull on it, and is carrying four bags filled with groceries, "We're all living together so we have to get used to each other not liking the same things."
"But Zak!" Rainbow complains.
"No buts. Plus if she did get into all the stuff you like I'll have to explain why there are fires everywhere..." Zak says walking to his bedroom after placing the bags down on the countertop cutting off the kitchen and living room.
The rest of the crew that went follows suits entering into the apartment. Behind Zak is a pink mare with swirly puffy hair. She has a red eye path on her left eye from a party incident when Zak was ten. They don't talk much about that. It's always been a sour subject for everyone. Zak's mother mostly.
Behind her is a robot just barely shorter than Zak at five three. The robot has a teal and whitish color to it and walks like its a human being. A "tattoo" runs down the side of the robot that reads war and peace. She got it when Zak was nine and he wanted to become an artist. Which would explain why he envies Annie so much.
Behind her is another mare walking side by side with another uniron. The mare is orange and wears a brown leather hat, otherwise known as a stenson, on her head proudly. It has an arrow through it from a practical joke played once upon a time ago. She never could bring herself to pull the arrow out. It means something to her on the matter of dying.
The unicorn next to her is mare like the purple one and has a fancy mane and tail that complements her white fur. Her mane and tail is purple and swirly towards the end. A truly beautiful mare. The only offset is the crack running through her horn from a magic test. A very tragic incident, but she has recovered. Mostly. Behind them is a green man with tusks coming out of his bottom part of his mouth and people would find him ugly in the sense. On his back is a stone axe and in his arms is a sleeping yellow pegasus with a pink mane that covers the creatures face and a pink tail, and she also wears a collar around her neck that is black.
"That's everyone right? Grunt?" Zak says coming back from his room.
The orc looks at Zak and nods his head, "She feel asleep on stairs so I brought her up."
"Good, lay her on the bed." He says sitting on the couch next to Annie.
He looks down and smiles at the drawing, "Getting better every day!"
"Thanks!" She says focusing on the drawing and also appreciating the praise for her work.
This is what life is going to start to be. Normal. Or at least as normal as he can get it. He was glad his parents kicked him out of their home as soon as they could. He needed the change. Actually everyone needed the change. Its been the same routine for a long time. Twilight was the one that pointed it out. Lately she's been giving a lot of good advice except about girls.
Every chance she gets she nags at him about getting a girlfriend. He would if he could but giving on how crazy he considers himself... I mean he's seeing T.V characters! Wouldn't you think you're crazy? And he doesn't have doubts that she would find him talking to nothing like something is there.
He learned very early on only he could see the creatures around him. From the ponies to the footmen soldiers trying to kill the Lich. At first he thought it was his over imagination. Than he saw that they could interact with the world, but not people physically. Mentally? Well Zak doesn't consider himself the stable type of person.
"So! What is on today's agenda list?"
"Well." Twilight says taking her seat by laying down in Zak's lap, "You have that meeting to go to at four about the college you want to go to."
Zak nods his head and starts stroking her mane, "Anything else?"
"Well there is the fact that you need a girlfriend." She pipes up relaxing in the soothing mood.
Zak sighs Here we go again...
Zak flops down on his back on his bed. As far as he feels he thinks he might of gotten in. But only time can tell. He reaches over to his right and into a white bag. He pulls out a bag of chips, pops them open, and begins eating. He doesn't like to eat downstairs with everyone else. He's afraid they might think he's crazy if he mumbles to his friends. Or to them nothing. He sighs thinking back over everything.
"You okay?" A female voice says walking into the room.
Zak looks towards the voice to see its the robot girl, "Yea, I'm fine. Just... How long have I lived like this. I keep thinking maybe there's a reason I can see you guys, but lately..."
"I know how you feel. I question my existence too. We all question it. We don't know why we're here. We just are." She says taking a seat next to him, "You know we'll always be here for you."
That's what I'm afraid of...
"Thank you, Jenny"
