//------------------------------// // Chapter #2 Life Isn't That Bad (Final) // Story: Emo Ponies Need Love Too // by GodOfBBQ //------------------------------// Well, I've officially moved into the mare's house. She told me her name was Needlelove. I asked her why her name was that, thinking it could be because she does LSD or something, but she told me that her mother was a clothing designer, and loved doing it so much she named her after her talent. But it wasn't until then that I noticed that she is the complete opposite of myself, she has bright blue mane where I have very dark blue, she has pure white furwhile I have black fur, and she is more optimistic and fun than myself. But she even considers me a friend of hers. Like I said before, I'm not the best at making friends, so this was kind of a first for me. For doing all this I had to repay her some how. But how? That's it! She once told me she really likes red velvet cake! So all I have to do is I have to is buy her one. But how do I buy a cake without bits? Ah, I'll just make one! I'm kinda glad that I took that cooking class elective in high school now. When I made the cake it was actually decent! Not professional, or great, but decent. So before she got home I set the cake on the table that was near the door and sat on the couch and waited. When she got home and she saw the cake her face grew bright with happiness! She asked if I made it and of course I replied yes, and apparently the cake was so good that after the first bite, she ate it all in less than three minutes! After living with Needlelove for three weeks, I've started to grow fond of her. She's the only pony other than my dad who actually understands me. She's kind, caring, fun to hang out with, And I have to say... Cute, she even has the cute little laugh Gigglebox had. You know, I always wanted a sister, and now... It really feels like I have one. Today she decided to take to to the sugar cube corner, which I was very excited for. You see, my dad used to take me to Sugarcube Corner when ever I was depressed or just needed a good slice of cake. When we got there, I instantly got hot headed... Lyra and Bon-Bon. As we sat down I tried my hardest to not make eye contact with either of them. I just focused on my cake and Needlelove. Well, so much for that! Lyra spotted us and decided to pay us a little visit. "Be careful Lyra! The dog might bite you!" I glared at Bon Bon when she said that. Apparently She's scared of me now since she quickly looked the other direction. "Hey, emo! You broke my Bon- Uh, I mean you broke Bon-Bon's muzzle, and you can pay for in two ways. You can give me 100 bits, or we can take this outside!" I couldn't say anything. Especially when Needlelove was right on the other side of the table. I didn't want her sucked into my problems. "I don't want to do any of those Lyra, because if I pay you you'll just shove it up somewhere the sun don't shine, and I'm not talking about your face hole." I'm sure she got what I was talking about because she got real pissed at that point. "What did you say, pig!?" She was really getting on my nerves but I just took what was coming to me. I knew if I did something, Needlelove would get into it as well. "What's wrong pig? You not wanting to answer me? You're useless! You don't deserve life, you're a bucking waste of thought! No wonder your daddy died, it was the only way he can get away from your sorry ass!" I wanted to buck her in the mouth so bad, but I just couldn't. I tried to insult her but my mouth couldn't make words. All I could do was just try to hold back tears, because that insult felt like a knife going through my heart. Now I know why I have a broken heart for a cutie mark. "Gonna cry now, pig? You ugly little swine! That's a face only a daddy can love!" I couldn't help it, I had let the tears go. I didn't want to cry in front of Needlelove or Lyra and her lap dog Bon-Bon but I couldn't help it. "Uh-oh, Lyra, you made the dog cry." "How can she cry? Emo ponies don't have feelings." What happened next really surprised me. Needlelove stood up. She got up into Lyra's face and said "You two need to learn some manners! How dare you pick on this poor mare?" "What are you gonna do about it, you Unislut?" "You're a unicorn too, dumb ass!" I was very surprised to hear Needlelove curse like that. I mean, she cursed but when she got hurt or broke something expensive, but I'd never heard her curse like that. "Why are you even sticking up for this bimbo? Are you her fillyfriend or something?" "And what if I am? How will that be any different from you two hoofing each other every night?" I guess Lyra whispered this part because I couldn't really understand what she was saying. At this point I was very grateful, but I felt really bad for getting Needlelove into this. She didn't need to get caught up in my problems. So I just left hoping that the arguing would stop. As I walked I saw Needlelove trotting towards me. Once she caught up to me she asked why I didn't say anything or do anything. I answered, "I just didn't want you tied up into my problems. You didn't deserve the insults they said to you! Plus, they were right!" I was starting to tear up even more. Then she wiped away a tear on my face and asked, "What do you mean, Buzzkill?" "I mean that they're right! Nopony ever liked me, or wanted to be my friend! The only pony in my life who made me feel loved was my dad, and he's gone now! And I wouldn't be surprised if I learned that he died because of me! I'm so alone, Needlelove!" I paused so I can let more tears escape then I said "All I ever wanted in life was love. I only wanted love, Needle!" I couldn't continue any more. I stumbled to the cold dusty ground, but then I felt Needlelove's hoof lift my chin so I can look at her. "You're not alone, Buzzkill. You have me. I don't know if I can make you feel loved as much as your dad did, but I can make you feel wanted. Buzzkill... I- I love you, and I don't know why, but I just feel like you're the other half to my life. Ever since I met you, I felt like that! Because I cared about you! Because I love you, Buzzkill!" I couldn't help but feel shocked, but pleasantly surprised. All I could do was stare into her bright orange eyes and blush. I felt like I was in a trance at this point. I felt weightless, and warm. She leaned in on me, and I couldn't help but lean in as well. I felt her warm lips on mine. It was like kissing the most pleasant and expensive silk. I knew at that point. And I knew from then on I have finally found what I've been wanting for my whole life... ...Love.
