Tucker slowly opened the door to Rainbow Dash's home and saw Rainbow Dash sitting at the table, about to eat a hay sandwich.
"That was fast."
"That won't be the first time you'll be saying that." Tucker chuckled. He stopped snickering when he saw that Rainbow Dash was on the floor laughing, quickly realizing what he said. "No- I mean, wait, shit."
"Calm down." Rainbow Dash said, slowly climbing to her hooves. She picked up her sandwich and took a large bite out of it. "What did you say to him?"
"I told him the truth." Tucker said edgily.
"What do you mean by truth." Rainbow Dash asked as she swallowed her food.
"I told him Caboose died."
"That's not all you told him, was it?" Rainbow Dash said, putting her sandwich back on the table.
"Yeah, I also told him that he got better. Now he thinks that I tried lying to him so he's super pissed."
"Tucker, what the-"
"Hay, yeah, I know. I fucked something up. But are you really surprised?"
"Not really." Rainbow Dash sighed annoyingly, but could not hide a small smile.
"Oh, and we both owe him ten hours of overtime without pay." Tucker added after a few seconds, as if he had forgotten.
"Wh-"
"And we start in like fifty minutes." Tucker interrupted quickly, pulling out her schedule just to toss it in front of her.
Rainbow Dash hastily grabbed the schedule and looked at it. She let out a loud groan, and Tucker instinctively backed up.
"Tu-"
"And if we don't show up we'll be fired."
This time Rainbow Dash had nothing to say, so instead she flew towards him and kicked him in his genitals, causing him to fall over in pain.
"Fuck!" Tucker whined as he rolled on his black, clutching his stallionhood as Rainbow Dash stormed past him.
"I knew I shouldn't have let you talk to him." Rainbow Dash said as she grabbed the back of Tucker's neck to pull him out the door.
Once she got to the door she pushed Tucker ahead of her and bucked him out the door. Tucker quickly opened his wings to prevent himself from slamming into the ground. Tucker looked down once had had balanced himself out and saw Tex staring up at him. Tucker shrugged to himself and began flying towards the southern part of Ponyville where he was scheduled to clear.
"What are you doing here?" Rainbow Dash asked curiously.
"I came to talk to-"
"As much as I love talking to you, we kind of have jobs to go to." Tucker said, nudging Rainbow Dash in her ribs.
"You have a job?" Tex asked with a rough laugh. "Doing what? Cracking sex jokes?"
"If only. Our job is to kick the clouds out of the sky to... I don't really know why, now that I think about it." Tucker muttered. He turned to Rainbow Dash and gave her a confused look.
"We clear the skies so the sun can shine on the crops and flowers because they need them to survive, genius." Rainbow Dash said, rolling her eyes.
"Okay, now I'm really wondering what the hell is happening around here..." Tex muttered.
"About what?" Tucker asked sarcastically. "About why nobody wants to talk to you? Probably has something to do with the fact that you're always being being a complete bitch with a terrible personality and a fondness for hitting things."
To Tucker's surprise, Tex began walking away without yelling at him. Rainbow Dash coughed, making Tucker turn his attention to her, and she began motioning her head towards Ponyville. Tucker nodded and they both flew towards their scheduled locations. Tex began walking towards the location that she decided to go to as well; Fluttershy's cottage.
What the hell is happening to them? Tex thought to herself as she reached Fluttershy's home and knocked on the door.
"Coming." Fluttershy said happily from inside.
When she opened the door, she saw Tex staring at her with a stern look on her face.
"Hi." Tex muttered.
"Oh, hello Tex." Fluttershy said quietly, closing the door slightly. "W-what are you doing here?"
"I need to talk to Grif."
"Why?"
"I need to prove something." Tex said firmly, showing she did not want to answer any questions.
Fluttershy nodded hesitantly, before closing the door to go get Grif. She went up to the couch and shook Grif.
"Bwuh?" Grif snorted as he rubbed his eyes. He turned to Fluttershy and raised his brow.
Fluttershy nodded towards the door, silently telling Grif that someone had came to see him. Grif then looked own to Haley, who was growling softly while curled up at the other end of the couch. He looked back to Fluttershy with wide eyes, and Fluttershy nodded somberly. Grif rolled off the couch and began trotting to the door, being followed by Haley who had jumped off after him.
"How the hell did you know where she lives?" Grif asked as he opened the door.
"I think that since I've learned to hate you so much, I know where you are just based on instincts." Tex said without any hint of her words being a joke. "Come out here, I need to talk to you. Alone."
"I think I'm good in here."
"It's either you come out, or I smash the door down."
Grif sighed and looked back at Fluttershy, who was holding a Harley back as she barked loudly.
"Promise not to hurt me?"
"No."
"Figured as much." Grif muttered, walking out the door. "Be back in a couple minutes. Maybe."
Fluttershy nodded quickly as Grif closed the door behind him. When he turned back around, Tex was standing by the rails in front of Fluttershy's home
"So why the hell do you want to talk to me?"
"I don't really want to talk to you. I just wanted to let off some steam, a lot of things are pissing me off about this place."
"That's too bad." Grif said, happy that Tex was suffering to some degree. "Wait, what do you mean by-"
Tex body checked Grif, causing him to crash into the ground. As he tried to get up, Tex jumped towards him and kicked him in his crotch, causing him to let out a soft whimper. Tex reeled her hoof back to kick him again, but he quickly rolled out of the way, causing Tex to miss. Grif shakily flew off the ground, barely managing to get out of Tex's immediate reach as she kicked at him again.
"Get back down here!" Tex commanded, jumping to grab him.
Grif flapped his wings as strong as he could, propelling him further in the sky, barely managing to dodge Tex. Tex landed on the ground and glared up at Grif, who was looking down at her with a smug look of satisfaction.
"Wipe that look off your face." Tex grunted, but Grif had not heard her, and even if he did he probably would have ignored her anyways.
"Ha! Why didn't I think of this before?" Grif asked as he landed on a cloud.
"Because you're an idiot?" Tex asked loudly.
"Fuck you!" Grif said, but with a laugh. "Now what are you going to do, huh? I'm up here and you're all the way down there!"
Tex pulled a small rock out of the ground and chucked it through the cloud, hitting the back of Grif's head. Grif yelped when the rock came in contact with his skull. Annoyed, he poked his head over the cloud and he glared at her, but she simply stood still, looking up at him with an unsatisfied smirk.
"Fuck y-" Grif began, but yelped once again when Tex threw a second rock at him, this time hitting him in the jaw. "God dammit!"
"Where are the big rocks?" Tex scowled as she began kicking patches of dirt to the side, trying to find larger things to hit her target with.
Grif, realizing that she wouldn't stop throwing rocks, flew up an extra hundred yards to put more of a distance between him and his assailant. Tex grabbed another rock and hurled it up at him, and it just barely reached him, hitting him in the chest.
"Son of a bitch!" Grif snapped. "Why are you doing that?"
"Because you're an idiot."
"And you're a cunt!"
"Why don't you stop being a baby and come down here so I can kick your ass without having to look for things to hurt you with?"
"I'm good." Grif chuckled, nestling on a higher up cloud that was just out of Tex's reach. "Maybe I should just live up here. Sarge can't annoy me, you can't reach me and most of all these clouds are unbelievably comfy."
Tex grabbed another rock, but judged the distance between her and the cloud. She released the rock, realizing that it would not reach him, and she stormed off back to the library. Grif poked his head over the cloud and watched as Tex had begun walking away. He let out a yawn loud enough to let Tex hear, making her trot faster out of spite, before settling back in the cloud for a nap.
Ya'll niggas are jealous of my stream of justice.
God damn! Tex is just being an unbelievable bitch.
TEX: 999
GRIF: 1
i need a computer. finnaly griff is safe from tex's wrath
874529 No no she is being a completely believable bitch. That's kinda her job and she does it very well.
Hehehe poor Tex her favorite punching bag has a way to avoid her fairly easily now, what ever shall she do~ +w+
Nice chapter. Now that I've read this I can go back to watching Inuyasha.
Wow... But how will Fluttershy react to what she did?
Okay, someone else put this on the TVTropes page for me. I'm too tired.
>Expect detective work
>Get Grif getting his flank handed to him before running away
Shoulda seen this coming...
Heh, whenever Delta comes in, she's going to have a hayday trying to get him to explain whats going on here
Go, Grif!
Grif discovers napping on clouds. He will never be seen again.
874673 Honestly? I'm surprised that it took him nearly 150 chapters to realize that...
Let me count the Troll meter
Trollestia: 2
Grif: 9999999999999999999999999(repeating of course) because he did it to Tex
874557 Until he needs to do something on the ground.
874545
Fact
I imagine that Lopez, meanwhile, is somewhere all by himself with all of his backup copies, too busy giving no shits about anybody. He is finally in his happy place.
874894
There was a moment in (I think) season 8 where he admits that he misses Sarge when he's all alone in Valhalla.
874819
Like Fluttershy?
874901
True. Which is why he activated his backups.
I am just curious as to how their personalities must diverge.
874559 You know what I mean.
874529
Business as usual.
874934 TUCKER!
tex is scared because she has this childlike joy of being in a happy town with talking ponies that she is trying to suppress and failing.
i think this will turn into tex wanting to be a little girl again.
875622
I always wondered why Neelix looked like a fat chick...
875734
Admit it, out of all the people reading the comments, how many of them do you expect the ST: DS9 reference? ,
876062
Shit, I fucked up there, oh well, can't expect a girl to know everything right?
876078
Oh,
I cant wait for fluttershy to go all assertive on Tex like she did with the Dragon.
876192
Characterization.
tex better hope fluttershy doesn't catch her. she wants to play the bitch game, lets see her face flutterbitch!
I think I'm gettin the idea. Equestria has changed the Reds and the Blues, making them less scared of Tex. Tex doesn't like this. How will she change it?
I don't think the balls are going to be attached to most of them anymore.
876411 Let me explain how that would end up:
Tex: Outta my way.
Fluttershy: No. I won't let you hurt Grif anymore.
Tex: Last chance.
Fluttershy: *uses the stare*
*Tex punches (or bucks or whatever) Fluttershy in the face*
Have you said Church is fat anywhere?
Why is it that you are so good at personifying all the characters? Do you just spend your days watching RvB and MLP?
Now... I am wondering... what level has Rainbow Dash and Tucker's relationship reached at this point? We are long overdue for that.
Come to think of it, what about Fluttershy and Grif, now that you have that opportunity?
879892
We'll just say that if Rainbow Dash and Tucker were on facebook, their relationship status would be set to "complicated".
875622
Now that I think about it... have any of the ever characters ever really done anything NOT to deserve her spite?
She's not really that mean to Caboose, and he's really the only innocent one. Well she also treats Simmons with respect whenever they interact (sans This one goes to eleven)
Tucker is a pig.
Sarge is condescending.
Grif lorded over her when the reds captures her.
Church is an asshole too.
All the characters she treats like shit actually seem to deserve it to some degree.
879900
Well, that was obvious from a mile away. The crotch kick... yeah...
Well, what about Grif and Fluttershy... since you now have that opportunity... I wonder what kind of relationship that would be like? Would they do it? I mean... Fluttershy would obviously know what sex is, having worked for animals for so long. I can honestly see them doing the deed before the rest of them... sans, of course, Rainbow Dash and Tucker, who have come close, and it isn't as if they haven't tried.
Of course, it would absolutely be hilarious if Pinkie Pie and Caboose beat everyone else to the punch.
880020
The only one I'm even slightly tempted to let have sex is on the red team.
I'll give you a few hints;
It ain't Grif and it ain't Sarge.
874565 true but tex will find a way some how. She may ask Twilight to give here that spell where ponies can walk on clouds.
880032
Holy shit... you're right...
Oh shit. That can't possibly end well.
He would end up with his ass burnt on that one... once for lying and twice for betrayal.
I always thought of Grif as the Hedonist with a heart of gold. though. And Fluttershy, while definitely shy, isn't necessarily innocent. Or pure. Kind, and shy, but not naive. I think they pretty much went to great pains to show this.
And, of course, Tucker did do it with Sister. And no one denied that... So, he has a leg up on everyone.
880247
Of course Fluttershy isn't innocent.
img.ponibooru.org/_images/409d9fcd820a272a4866ae837d1b323c/25511%20-%20fish%20fluttershy%20plot%20screencap%20When_you_see_it.png
She's a cold blooded killer.
880301
Wrong definition of innocent. I mean the kind who is totally pure and naive. She ain't that.
Although those fish were probably sentient...
My head is in the fridge, searching for the logic to contemplate the moral consequences of her actions.
Damn you.
880301
And suddenly, the thought of that would probably get Vergil harder than a rock!
XD
Someone should send this story to Michael and Ray over at Roosterteeth. They'd love the shit out of it!
874545
nah more like this:
Tex: OVER 9000!
Grif: 1.
874901 I believe your thinking of Season 7. because Lopez is dead in season 8, same with Donut.
I am working my way through this monster, and I must say it is great so far. That said, I did notice some rather amusing typos in this sentence in chapter 148 which I thought I should bring up.
"Grif sighed and looked back at Fluttershy, who was holding a Harley back as she barked loudly."
The way this reads right now, Fluttershy is holding back a motorcycle and barking which, while incredibly amusing, is probably not what you actually meant to write.
874545
At least he HAS one.
