//------------------------------// // Chapter 19:Afternoon Problems // Story: The Tale Of Shadow // by Enigmatic Brony //------------------------------// Chapter 19: Afternoon problems As soon as Rarity and I reach her place we are greeted joyfully by a pink pony “Hey Rarity, Hey Shadow” “Hi Pinkie pie” says Rarity “Sup pinkie” I say “Nothing much, but I forgot all about having a welcome party for you because I didn’t know where you lived” smiles pinkie pie, “But since I do know…Surprise” says pinkie opening the front door Inside Rarity’s boutique store laid ribbons, streamers and a giant sign saying “Surprise”, and Vinyl Scratch was there pumping out the beats for everypony “Wow, Thanks Pinkie pie…how you get everyone here” “Well, I organized the party last night…now let’s paaarttyyy” As if on cue Vinyl Scratch blasted the music even louder as the bass drop hit “Hey Rarity, did you know about this” “Nope, I had no idea about Pinkie throwing a party” “Well I guess it’s time to…Parrrrtyyyy” I say before joining the crowed that was dancing To Vinyl Scratch rocking the Spin Decks I continue rocking out to the bass and I see Rarity sitting on her own “Hey Rarity, What’s wrong” I say loudly so she could hear me over the speakers “OH Shadow, Nothings wrong” Sighs Rarity “Come on Rarity I can tell when something’s wrong” “Well…Since were having this foul, I’ve been thinking since you’re a human and im a unicorn, wont are baby be kind off…well…Unique” “Rarity there’s going to be nothing wrong with our baby Rare, If anything he’s going to be our son or daughter cause im a Pegasus and you’re a Unicorn” I comfort Rarity “Another thing what about when you have to go back home, back to earth” “How did you know about that” I say in surprise “I overheard you and Twilight, but still what about then…Im going to be the one to look after the young fool and you wont be here to help me” Says Rarity holding back tear “Rarity, Im never going to leave you…I promise I’ll never leave…I will never leave you or our baby until the day I die” I say looking directly in Rarity’s eyes “Well I guess we will see when the time comes” says Rarity, “I’m Going to go up stairs where its much more quieter” “I’ll Come with you” I say hastily “No you stay down here…Pinkie Pie throw this party for you, so enjoy it” “I watch as Rarity heads upstairs and I turn around to see a pink pony standing right behind me “Congratulations Shadow” “For What” I say confused “Don’t be silly Shadow, Congratulations on your first foul” Pinkie Pie Screams I felt like everyone’s eyes were looking directly at me “Thanks Pinkie pie” I say with a grin All of a sudden Rainbow Dash gives me a giant hug “Oof…Thanks Ranbow Dash” “Don’t thank me” Smiles Dash, “Your having your own foul…Next thing you know in a couple of weeks you’ll have a little foul running around” “Yeah I guess we will” I smile “You have any names for the baby yet” “Not yet we kind off only found out about it today” I smile “Oh okay well congrats Shadow” “Thanks appreciate it” “No problem, I’ll see you later tonight” “Yeah sure…Excuse me pinkie” I say heading towards the staircase I walk into Rarity’s Bedroom and I notice her snugged up in bed “Hey what you doing” I say sitting down next to her “Nothing” sobs Rarity “Hey what’s wrong Rare?” “Nothing Shadow” “Come on Rare, You can tell me” “Um…Well I was thinking about before” Sniffles rarity as she sits up in bed, “Whether we like it or not… you’re going to have to go back to your planet earth…and Whether we like it or not we probably will never see each other again when that happens” “Rarity, There will never be away to stop me from stopping me seeing you whether im here in PonyVille or im back on earth, I will always be around even if it doesn’t look like it…Ill always be here” I say pointing at her heart “And you’ll always be here” I say pointing at mine “But what about when are baby arrives how am I going to look after him when you’re gone” sniffles Rarity “You have many amazing friends here to look after the baby, you have seen how Fluttershy is with kids and there’s always Dash” “I don’t think Dash will be able to help” giggles Rarity “Yeah I kind of realised that after I said it” I giggle “So how about we get out of bed and enjoy the party down stairs” I smile “Alright…I’ll get out of bed, But on one condition” “Yeah what is it” “When you go back to earth…Never…I mean never forget your family waiting here in PonyVille” “Of course…How could I forget about you and are baby boy” “Oh it’s a baby boy now” “Yeah are little baby Boy” “Okay” giggles Rarity “Oh by the way pinkie pie overheard us talking before and everypony kind of knows were having a baby” “Yeah it wasn’t long before Pinkie would have found out” We head down stairs back to the roaring Party “Everypony Give special congratulations to my man Shadow and the Fashionesta Rarity for their having their first foul” Announces Vinyl Scratch The crowed faces Rarity and me and begins to cheer and clap “Thanks everypony how about we get this Party poppin” I yell “Let’s get it poppin” giggles Rarity “Yeah I know how stupid it sounds but I’ve always wanted to say it” “Hey Shadow” says a white pony wearing blue tinted glasses “Hey what’s up Vinyl Scratch?” “Hey, you can call Vinyl by the way” “Ok Vinyl” “Anyway I was wondering if you wanted to sing a song her on the stage” “What tonight?” “Yeah tonight, you were amazing last night your energy and charisma last night was electric” “Im not sure” “Come on Shadow” says Rarity, “I wanna hear you sing” “Fine I’ll do it but I wanna sing this song” “Alright we can do that” I head up stage in front of the crowd in Rarity’s store “Ponies of PonyVille Tonight we have another rising star in the music industry, He sang at the gala to a beautiful and the most fashionable pony in PonyVille Rarity and if anyone was at the nightclub last night you would have seen him in action rocking out a song by Avenged Sevenfold…And to perform for us tonight, Here is Shadow” Announces Vinyl “Hey Everypony this song is called Levitate” Can't stop I need some help. F** you, I'm by myself Is it a truth or lie? It's what you can't deny. 'Cause it's the way you think Mix with the pills and drink Brought back to the way you are Float up 'til you're close to God You know that hiding ain't gonna keep you safe Because the tears on your face They leak and leave a trace So just when you think that true love's begun It goes off at any second just like a loaded gun You know, I can take you straight to heaven if you let me... You know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me... You know that I can make your body levitate... le-levitate... I can make your body levitate... le-levitate! (you know...) Can't stop the feeling, High as a ceiling I got the money who's bloddy 'dealin' You feel the heat like a barrel of a gun I forgot the last time I saw the sun I've got this disease It's digging deeper in me It's like my mind is leaving, But my heart keeps beating So I'll paint the walls, red drip from the nose But where it goes, nobody really knows Hit the bottle and she's gonna to follow I fall asleep there ain't no tomorrow Gone too far, no one can save me Who needs you when I've got my baby My baby is beautiful she loves me true But if she dies I hope I die too! You know, I can take you straight to heaven if you let me... You know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me... You know that I can make your body levitate... le-levitate... I can make your body levitate... le-levitate! (you know...) I put down another sack of them Then it's straight back to the flask again I can't help stop what's happening On the wrong track, yeah, I'm back again Up s**t creek and I'm paddling Blacked out room and I'm travelin' Good ideas I'm lacking them I'm too f***ed up now I'm babbling Wondering how to fix these damages All these goddamn damages Cover myself with bandages From all these goddamn damages Wondering how to fix all of these damages All these goddamn damages Cover myself with bandages From all these goddamn damages You know, I can take you straight to heaven if you let me... You know I, I can make your body levitate if you let me... You know that I can make your body levitate... le-levitate... I can make your body levitate... le-levitate! (you know...) I finish the song and the crowd begins to cheer within the cheers I could hear a pony begin chanting my name, as the one pony chanted the rest began to follow chanting “Shadow” louder and Louder, as the chanting become to loud Vinyl walked on stage and started calming the crowed down “Everypony wasn’t that an amazing show of Shadows ability to sing” Says Vinyl, “Now how about we get the party back to some tasty beats” I walk off stage as soon as Vinyl starts playing some more techno/Dub step “Hey Shadow that was Amazing” “Thanks” “Hey Shadow I was wondering…How about we hang out some time” “You sure, you must be a busy pony with all the DJ shows you got going on” “Yeah but that’s only ever at night im always free in the morning and afternoon” “Alright then that sounds good” “Cool…I guess I’ll see you later” says Vinyl with a Smirk while walking back to her decks I turn around and im suddenly hugged by another beautiful white pony “Shadow your always amazing on stage…I also love that song you sang” “Yeah it’s one of my favorite songs in the world by my favorite band of all time Hollywood Undead” “Well that was extraordinary” “Thanks Rarity” I say with a smile, “By the way I was wondering….Since your my fiancé how about we get married soon in a week or two” “How about we talk about this tomorrow, when there’s not fifty million screaming ponies around” “Okay I’ll b holding you to that” I smile The party goes on for a while with Vinyl banging out beat after beat on her decks; the ponies watching were jumping to the beat, even a moss pit was forming in front of the stage she stood on. The night finally came to a standstill when Vinyl started to play her last song and most of the other ponies had left because they were too tired to stay or had work early in the morning, Vinyl began to pack her equipment with the last of the ponies leaving Rarity’s store. “Well I better get going” says Vinyl, “I had fun playing here tonight” “Yeah you can thank Pinkie Pie for throwing the party” I grin “Well I’ll see you around Shadow” “Yeah bye” “Oh say good bye to Rarity for me” “Will do” I close the door and head upstairs to bed were rarity has been for the last couple of hours, I hope in bed and Rarity rolls over and begins to snuggle the right side of me. I kiss Rarity on the head and drift off to sleep.
