"So, Tail Flight, if you wanted cider as a solution to healing cuts, let's get to Jo's Bar and Doughnut again and get another bottle." I lead Tail Flight and Wind Rust into the restaurant from the other day and decide to get a couple of doughnuts as well.
"Tail Flight how are you?" Doughnut Jo comes up and levitates a notepad. "So, what could I do for you."
Wind Rust speaks for Tail Flight. "I'd like six doughnuts with a bottle of cider."
"Oh, well okay. Say, you two with this little filly?" Wind Rust and I nod. "Okay. Six doughnuts and a cider comin' up." Doughnut Jo leaves into the kitchen with the notepad still being levitated.
Wind Rust looks to me with an unamused face. "Wiretap, don't ever do that again. You could've gotten yourself killed."
"I didn't realize Tail Flight wanted it in case she got herself cut. Cut me slack, okay?"
"Uh, no! Did you ever research that those on the Earth we once were on used stuff like cider to heal wounds, Wiretap?"
"Well, no... but-"
Wind Rust stops me. "But nothing! If you come to Tail Flight's for cider, do it for the damn cuts."
"Okay!" I snap at Wind Rust. "Just stop bugging me about it okay? Okay! Sheesh!"
The door to the kitchen opens as I see a pack of a half dozen doughnuts as well as the bottle of cider. "Okay. Here's your doughnuts and cider."
"Thanks." I nod as Doughnut Jo just walks back into the kitchen with the now empty dish.
Tail Flight gains a light bulb. "Hey! Let's go check on Josh! I just know he'd have a great time with Spike!"
"Well, somepony's got to pay the bill, right?" I look at Tail Flight.
Wind Rust raises his hoof. "I'll ask Jo if we could have the bill when he comes back."
We each eat our doughnuts as time creeps by with no Doughnut Jo. "Where's a Jo when you need him?" Tail Flight and Wind Rust shrug.
Someone nearby comes up to us. "You gonna drink that?!?" As soon as they come, they just whoosh off with the cider bottle. After that, a crowd starts chanting "chug".
We all turn to the pony the crowd is looking at. "THAT BOTTLE WAS FOR OUR FUTURE REFERENCE!!!"
Half an hour later, Jo finally comes in, and we didn't have to get the bill. Oh no. One cider bottle taken from us deliberately and we still have to pay for it. "Okay. Let's see what the damage is." I take a look at the bill. "Eleven bits. Alright, I have that amount." I grab the wallet from my ear and take out one gold bit and one silver bit, giving them to Doughnut Jo.
We finally make it to Twilight's castle and look for Josh. As I look in the dining room, I don't see a single thing, except for a cup with a teabag in it. "Joshua." I look in the meeting room and see if he's there. No one. I look in Spike's room, which Spike is in.
"Uh, anything I can help you with Wiretap?"
"Yeah. I'm looking for Josh."
"Oh, he left with Twilight and her friends."
"Thanks Spike."
"No prob, Wiretap." I walk out the room, but shortly before I'm out of Spike's sight, I remember to ask something else. "One more thing Spike, where are they now?"
"Sugar Cube Corner. It's a little ways south of here."
"Thanks."
I gallop to Sugar Cube Corner to see Josh and the six ponies having the time of their life without me. That is until Pinkie notices me. "Hey Wiretap!"
"Hey Pinkie. I'm just here to see Josh." Josh waves glancing at me aside.
Pinkie points to Josh. "Oh, he's right in there Tappie." Did Pinkie really just call me that? I walk over to Josh.
"Hi Josh." Josh just waves. "How are you?" Now, he gives me a thumbs up. "That's good. And I see you've got wings." I see the nod as Josh points over to what are on his back.
"Oh, Wiretap. What's up?" Rainbow Dash spots me now.
"Not much. I'm a little concerned though. I haven't heard a word out of Josh since yesterday before he left with Spike."
Rainbow Dash rubs her hoof against the back of her mane. "Right. That's because we're guessing he has laryngitis." Now, I'm utterly shocked.
"L-l-laryngitis?" Rainbow Dash nods. "Okay, I'll go tell Tail Flight and Wind Rust. See ya."
I gallop off back to Twilight's castle and look for Tail Flight and Wind Rust. That is if I didn't bump into them on the way over there.
"Tail Flight, Wind Rust, I might need to tell you this, albeit Tail Flight might already know, but the ponies think Josh has laryngitis!"
"WHAT?!?" Wind Rust is so shocked, I could see a vein in his neck. I nod. Talk about overreaction. Wind Rust's expression is the epitome of overreaction. "Where is he right now?!?"
"Sugar Cube Corner, it's back south."
"Come on Tail Flight, let's go! Thanks Wiretap." I continue to walk over to Twilight's castle as Tail Flight and Wind Rust just gallop to where I was.
