It has been a few days since we had robbed the Pacific Standard bank and rescued the girls that mysteriously appeared in the street. I have been patiently waiting for them to wake up, and I hope they do soon because I really want to know who they are and how they got here. Because I know they aren't from here.
Anyways, two days ago I decided to go to suburban to get the girls some clothes for them to wear. But knowing them to be girls they're probably going to complain about my choice of clothing. Though in my opinion they're going to have to suck it up and deal with it. I don't feel like wasting money on feeble things such as fashion, if it works don't mess with it. I had spent the time mainly outside fixing my elegy and/or tending to the horses out in the stables. The wound I got three days ago still gives me trouble but I have dealt with it. Micha and KV have been either helping with the horses or doing their own things around the ranch.
It was late in the afternoon and I had just finished cleaning all the horses for the day and decided to go inside and clean myself. I went straight to my room and got into the shower, and when I got out I didn't bother wrapping the towel around me as I knew those girls were still out cold. I rubbed my hair with my towel as I walked over to the left side of the bed and opened my closet door. I closed it after grabbing a black shirt that said 'iPac' with a glock below it. I closed the door to the closet before walking over to the dresser I had across from the couch at the end of the bed. I had the shirt over my shoulder as I opened my undergarment drawer and grabbed a pair of white socks and plaid boxers. I shut the drawer before going back into the bathroom and shutting the door behind me.
Before going in I took in detail of how the girl with the indigo hair was blushing like crazy, so I would assume she was awake. I gave a chuckle as I looked myself in the mirror. I was fit and muscular, but that doesn't mean I was ripped. I was modest about my workout, always trying my best without over doing it. I gave a grimace as I looked over my scars, the one over my eye, the one on my chest and abdomen, and the one that went down my left arm. I would love to tell you guys how I got most of them, but thats a story for another time. I gave a sigh as I put my choice of clothes on. I grabbed my pair of princess robot bubblegum pajama pants off the counter and put them on. I finished up in the bathroom shortly and left, heading to the door to my room. I stopped before leaving though, hand still on the door handle, before addressing the girl that was awake.
"Whenever you feel like it come out to the living room and talk. But before you do put some clothes on, they're on the couch at the end of the bed."
With that I opened the door and left, shutting it behind me. I headed to the living room and saw that Micha and KV were watching TV, well KV was. Micha was reading another book. I came in and sat down next to KV on the brown couch and watched TV with him.
"So any of the ones awake in your room?" Micha asked.
"Maybe the indigo haired one. If she manages to build the courage, she'll be out shortly." I said as I leaned back in the couch. I watched the TV, or Princess Robot Bubblegum, while I waited for the girl to leave the room and come in here. I didn't have to wait long as I heard a door open, and when I looked down to my room I saw the indigo haired girl wearing the clothes I had set for her. A grey pair of sweat pants and a white shirt. I watched as she slowly made her way to the living room, and when she got near she stopped and looked at us with a nervous gaze.
"Come on and sit down, we don't bite." Micha said as he looked at her before going back to his book.
"Except for me." I said as I wiggled my eyebrows, which caused her to blush. "Just kidding, but seriously sit down so we can talk."
"O-okay." she said as she sat on the pink sofa to left, and she sat there for a few seconds fidgeting nervously as she sat there. To be honest I thought that maybe she would have demanded where she was or maybe that she'd have someone powerful kill us, but not sit here like some little girl with her hand caught in the cookie jar. Cute really. But anyways, with her not talking is really irritating.
"So are you going to ask something or are you going to look like a fucking idiot." I said as I sat up.
"Fury don't be so mean to the girl." Micha said as he mentioned my call sign. I looked over to him and I saw a look in his eyes telling me to follow along.
"Whatever Ghost." I said as I looked back to the girl. "Now talk."
"W-well my n-name is Twilight Sparkle-" she started.
"'Twilight Sparkle'? HA!" KV said with a laugh before getting serious. "What kinda name is that? Unless thats a call sigh tell us your real name."
"But it is!" she said with a pout.
"Crash let the girl speak." I ordered.
"Fine." he said with a huff as I shot him a glare.
"You can continue speaking now." I said as I looked back to her.
"A-as I said my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I am Princess Celestia's number one student." she said as she finished with beaming smile. We sat there in silence and I looked over to Micha and KV, and they were both looking at me. We looked at each other for a few seconds as if we were having a conversation before I looked back to Twilight.
"And if what you say is true, then give us more information about you, your friends, and where you came from." I said.
"W-well as I said my name is Twilight Sparkle. I am nineteen years old and just recently was sent to Ponyville," she said and the name of this town got KV to lightly chuckle as he started to change the TV station. "and me and my friends came here after I had failed one of my spells." she stated.
"So you're from a different world, if where you were from you could use magic, and somehow you fucked up your spell and sent you and your friends into a different world and or reality?"
"Y-yes thats what it looks like." she said meekly.
"Well if, if what you say is true then that begs two questions that you need to answered." Micha said as he put his book down.
"And they would be?" she asked.
"How do you plan on getting back, and it seems like you want us to help you, so why should we?" he asked.
"W-well I never really thought of a counter-spell..." she said as she trailed off at the end.
"Kid you look like the smart type, so I'll say this once. Give us a good reason for us to waste resources to help you and keep you away from the asylum section of the Bolingbroke Penitentiary." I said. I have no idea if what this girl is telling me true or not, but I'd rather be compensated for helping a lunatic instead of doing it out of 'the kindness of my heart'.
"W-well you all act like a group of friends so maybe you could just help us out." she said and it sounded as if she had asked us that instead. My response was to open the drawer on the side of the table and pulling a glock out of it. I turned the safety off and aimed it at her, and she didn't look that afraid of it so I guess where ever shes from they don't have guns.
"Wrong answer. Let me rephrase the statement. Tell us what will we get in return for helping you." I ordered.
"Oh. If it's money you want I can get the princess to pay you in bits." she said.
"And what are these 'bits'?" Micha asked.
"They're little gold coins that Equestria uses as currency." she stated.
"If and this is a huge if, if we get you and your friends back to your supposed world... how much will we get paid in these coins?" I asked.
"Well a generous amount would be ten thousand bits, but she may give you five hundred." she said. Even if the bits were the size of a quarter, the amount of money they would be worth would be extraordinary. Hell if a bit weighed around an ounce it would be worth a thousand two hundred fifty dollars. Now before you say anything yes I'm doing it for the money, but i'm also going to do this so then I can get these girls out of this damn city. Because judging by the way they are acting they have never been in a situation where they would be used or had to deal with cruel and greedy people. And this shitty city is full of people like that.
"We'll have to talk about this later, when you aren't near." Micha said as he went back to reading his book. I new he was interested.
"I know that you don't believe me at all." she started.
"Oh we believe you." I said, mush to her shock.
"You do?! What part of Equis where-" she said but I had to stop her.
"Wow kid calm down." I said as i raised my hands. "I have no idea what world you're talking about but we aren't from it."
"Then where are you from?"
"A planet called Earth, or Terra. But the fact still stands you aren't from here or our world, so in layman's terms you and your friends are aliens." Micha said.
"But aren't you aliens as well?" she asked.
"I think that's enough questions for now. Go back to my room and either read any of the books I have in there or go back to sleep. We'll talk in the morning." I said as I put the gun back to safety and placed it on the table.
"O-okay." she said as she got up and went back to the room, faster than she did when she came in here. Guess she loves books.
"You know she's going to be mad at you for getting her hopes up." Micha said as he turned a page in his book.
"And why do you say that?" I asked.
"Because she looks like someone who loves to learn, and all the books you have in there are light graphic novels and comics." he answered.
"Well she can get over it." I said as I laid back. "So what are we going to do?"
"Well we could accept her offer." KV said.
"Yes, but what are the chances of us getting them back to their world? For all we know they could be stuck here like the rest of us." Micha said.
"That could be the case, but she did say that she messed up her spell that caused all of them to come here. So that means that she used a spell to get here, which also means that where ever her and her friends came from they have magic." I said.
"And this matters why?"
"It matters because they could be our chance to go somewhere else." I said with a sigh. "As much as I love this place, I miss my home. My family, and I know you feel the same way."
"But what if they can't send us back once we get them back to their world?" KV asked.
"It's better than this damn place. We have government officials and the police searching for us, and not to mention that Martian wants us dead."
"I guess you have a point." KV said softly.
"So do you want in?" I asked him.
"Yea, it's better than doing nothing but killin and stealin all the time." he said.
"And what about you Micha? You in?" I asked as I looked over to him. He dropped the book down enough so I could see his face, and he looked at me for sometime before placing his book marker in his book, shutting it and placing it on the table.
"Sure. I do agree with KV on this matter; it'll put my skill in hacking to better use than for these amoral actions we have been doing since we got here." he said.
"Good. We'll talk about this tomorrow in my study, I'm really tired right now after cleaning all of the horses today."
"Ay. We all need to go to bed. I know that you have a few people to teach tomorrow, I need to finish fixing my car, and I have no idea what you have planned." He said as he finished by pointing at KV.
"And I plan on keeping it that way." he said as he pursed his lips.
"He's probably going to wank off all day." I said as I got up and started to head to my room.
"The hell! No I won't! I have more important things to do." KV said as he tried to defend himself.
"Sure you do." I said as I paced the kitchen with a smile on my face. I made it to my room and opened my door and saw that my books were in a different order. I just gave a shrug as I went to my bed, forgetting that there was a naked girl in my bed. I was to tired to care really, and if any of them wake up and complain I can just say its my bed and it will be the end of the argument. So with a sigh I slipped into my sleeping world.
The Next Morning
I awoke to the feeling of someone spooning me and when I opened my eyes I got a a face full of rainbow. I gave a tired sigh as I tried to get up, key word try. the damn girl may have been small but she had the grip of something equivalent to gorilla glue. I should know, I got bored one time and played with some polyurethane adhesive glue. Not a good idea to be honest. Anyways it took me a few minutes to get free of the spooning girl, and after I was free I got up and saw that Twilight was asleep on the floor surrounded by the few non-fiction books that I have. Cute to be honest. I decided to gather all of the books and placed them on the bookshelf I had to the side of my bed.
When I was done I left the room and headed to the kitchen where I caw Micha making breakfast and KV sitting at the table nursing a mug of coffee. When I came in they seem to notice me immediately, so I had to guess they were waiting for me to wake up.
"Sorry for keeping you guys." I said as I took a seat at the end of the table, next to the cart at the end.
"It's not a problem, was going to wake you up but I saw someone else was having a good time." KV said with a smile.
"Hey it's not my fault the damn girl decided to spoon me in her sleep. At least that means she'll wake up soon." I said as I rested my cheek on my fist.
"It actually is seeing how you got into the bed with her. By the way where was Twilight at?" Micha asked.
"She's on the other side of the bed surrounded by books." I answered.
"Ahh, so who are the people you have to train today?" he asked.
"Some woman named Jennifer Lancy and that little bitch of a kid." I said.
"That the little blonde girl you've been teaching when ever we are here?" KV asked.
"Yea and she's lucky I can't put a bullet in her head." I grumbled.
"Don't go and blow our cover by killing a egotistical teenager Chris." Micha said. I looked over to him and saw that he was finishing up making breakfast.
"I'd like to see if you can handle keeping it cool around the bitch." I said as he came over with several plate consisting of bacon, sausage, eggs and toast.
"Well I'd love to take your job, but you made it clear to everyone that comes here that you are the face of the ranch," he said as he placed the plates down on the table. "since you took it from Martian."
"Yea and I regret it almost everyday." I said as I grabbed some food and ate. Breakfast was quiet as we ate our food, and that's our means usually go. Always quiet. Once I was done eating I took my plate and silverware and placed them in the sink to be washed later.
"So have you gone and gotten your meds yet? They should run out soon." Micha said as he finished his plate and began getting more.
"I haven't yet, but Dr. Theo hasn't gotten them ready yet. Though I will get them as soon as I can." I said as I walked back to the table and sat down. "So what do you guys have planned for today?" I asked.
"Well I have to go and fix some things wrong with my Kuruma, and then I have to go and take care of the pigs. After that I'm free." Micha said as he began to eat.
"I have to fix up my Charger-" KV started.
"Which one?" I cut in.
"The Dukes. Anyways the damn thing has been having problems with the intake manifold and the headers." He said as he took a mouthful of eggs.
"Why don't you take the damn thing to a mechanic, or take it to Los Santos Customs?" Micha asked.
"Because I know what I'm doin. Plus I'm kinda strapped for cash since I bought the replacements for the car."
"What about your share of the money from the heist we just got done doin?" I aksed.
"It's still there, I'm just saving most of it for something." he said as he finished his plate.
"Okay." I said as I squinted my eyes at him before stopping. "Also after I finish training those two today I have to go and stop by the house in El Burro Heights. Have to grab a car and some cash." I said.
"You do know that cops have been snooping around that area for a supposed murderer. And the way you usually look over your shoulder out in public, they may think you to be the guy." Micha said as he finished his plate, grabbed it and headed to the kitchen.
"Ehh the can question me all they want. I know I ain't done nothin, plus the murders started after the heist so I have an alibi." I said as I waved my hand at him dismissively.
"Still, just be careful and don't try and raise suspicion."
"I will." I said as I heard a door open. When I looked behind me I saw Twilight walk out of the room, along with the rainbow haired girl. "Morning you two."
"G-good morning." Twilight said as she and the other girl came to the table and sat down across the table from us.
"Are you going to introduce your friend?" I asked.
"Well this is my friend Rainbow Dash." she said as she gestured to the girl.
"Are all of your names going to be weird?" KV asked. This seemed to get a reaction from the new girl as she got close to KV with an angry expression on her face.
"Hey bub, are you calling my friends weird?!" she ordered.
"Kid I have no idea who you're talking to like that," he said as his gaze sharpened. "but it better not be me. I'll have your head if you talk to me that way again."
"Sorry, for his behavior." I said as I put a hand on his head. "Bu he doesn't like people that talk to him and demand stuff."
"Get your damn and off man." he said as he swatted it away.
"Anyways, can we have that introduction now?" I asked.
"Sure. The name's Rainbow Dash, and you're lookin at the fastest flier in all of Equestria!" she said proudly.
"So you can fly a plane?" I asked, and her smile turned to confusion.
"What?! No. I'm the fastest pegasus in all of Equestria." she said before looking at Micha. "What's a plane?"
"It's an aerodynamic powered flying vehicle with fixed wings. It allows humans to fly since we have no nature wings." he answered.
"Which means that if you could fly before, you can't now." I said and I saw horror go across her face.
"No.... flying..." she said as she got a far off stare.
"I'm guessing flying was important to her?" I asked Twilight.
"Defiantly, well it was second to her friends."
""Loyal, huh. You barely find something like that is this forsaken city." I said as I looked outside, through the glass doors at the end of the table.
"Why? Isn't everypony friendly to one another?" she asked, and I ignored her mannerism of 'everybody'. But I did let out a chuckle.
"Hell no. In this city it's first come, first serve. If you don't have power your fucked."
"Is that how you guys are?" she asked hesitantly.
"Oh no, we're close."
"You could say we see each other as brothers." Micha chimed in.
"Yea, you could. And we help each other no matter what, because family is important." KV said before getting up. "I'm gonna go ahead and go work on my charger."
"Have fun, I'll be out there shortly." I said as I watched him head to the glass doors in the living room.
"So what do you guys do?" Rainbow asked.
"What do you mean?" I asked as I looked over to her.
"Well you said that if you don't have power you're fucked.... so how are you not?"
"Because we do jobs that others usually don't want to do." Micha said.
"And sometimes it's things that have to be done, even if you don't want to do it." I said grimly.
"Oh." both girls said as they thought the table was more interesting.
"If you'll excuse me I'll be out in the garage working on my dukes. Been havin a problem with the bug catcher." I said as I got up and left for the garage. "Might have to replace the damn thing."
After that I made my way to the garage where I saw the door to KV's part was open and he was busy under the hood. The garage only had three doors, the one to my right was KV's, mine was in the middle, and MIcha's was on the end. We had decided on who's garage was who's by a little competition of hand-to-hand combat. I had lost to KV, and Micha lost to me. Anyways I decided to talk with him before I went and started on mine. I needed to get somethin straight to him before we continue with this.
"Hey." I said as I got near.
"Hey." he said back as he put what he was doing and faced me.
"We need to talk." I said as went to the right side of the car and leaned on the quarter panel.
"About?" he asked as he went back to work. I looked over the engine and saw that he had taken it apart from the cam covers down to the basic engine block.
"The girls. I know your not pleased about it and you know you haven't since we took them from the bank. But you could have let me know." I said.
"What would it have mattered? You would have went to go get them anyways." He said before giving a pause. "You always help the innocent out of this city."
"Because do you think someone so naive should grow up in this fuckin hell hole? Cause I sure as hell don't. We may not have been here long but look how much it has changed us." I pointed out.
"I guess you're right, but it's just..." he said before thinking about it.
"That I should stop taking in every defenseless person we see?" I finished.
"No, it's not that." He said as he started to have trouble with a screw. "It's -huff- it's just that you show too much kindness to people like that. What if they're spies, or someone trying to kill us."
"Well if they are spies then they made one hell of an entrance." I said with a chuckle.
"That they did. But still you need to stop taking in people."
"I will if it's what you want."
"Good. Now don't you have some women to train today?" he asked.
"No not until noon. Til then I'll be working on my dukes."
"What's wrong with it?"
"The intake valves won't open on them. I love the duel intake header, but if I can't fix it then I may have to switch to the triple one I had ordered a few years back."
"Why didn't you put the triple one on?"
"Because then the damn car would resemble Dominic's charger more, and I didn't want to get made fun of cause of it." I said as I stopped leaning on his car.
"We would never do that." he said as I started to walk out.
"What if I told you I just wanted to be original?" I rhetorically asked.
"Then I'd say you're an idiot." he said with a chuckle, which caused me to chuckle.
"Have fun with the car." I said as I walked to my garage door.
"Oh I will!" he shouted as I opened my garage door and looked at my dukes and elegy retro. Ever since we came here the newer cars that keep coming from overseas seems to have the actual brand name and not the off brand that came with the copy right issues from Rockstar. I plan on buying the new Mitsubishi Lancer that should be coming over in the next two weeks or so.
I locked the door in the open position and went over to the bench I had put behind the cars. sitting on it under some cloth was the triple header I had ordered a few years ago. I took the cloth off and grabbed the header before going to the front of the dukes and set the part down. I popped the hood open before undoing the brackets holding it to the car before a thought came to me. I'm about to need help with this.
"Hey KV can ya come here real quick?! I need some help." I said as I heard him put whatever he was doing down and walked over into my garage.
"Sure what is it?" he asked.
"Can you grab the other side of the hood for me?"
"Yea." he said as he went over to the other side of the car and grabbed the hood. I did the same as him and we lifted it off the car before we stopped. "Where do you want to put it?" he asked.
"Over there." I said as I gestured to the wall behind him with a hod of my head. Eventually after some working we got it leaned against the wall with the front part of the hood facing the open garage door. "Thanks man."
"No prob, always happy to help a bro out. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go back to work on mine." he said as he walked back over to his garage. After that I went to work on removing the old header and bringing it to the bench behind the cars. I was going to try and loosen the damn vents to see if they'll still open, and when I did they did open. But they won't when I have them tightened to the recommend tightness. Which meant that until I can properly fix this on my own time, it's broke. I gave a sigh as I put the cloth that was on the other header onto it. I got up and headed back to the front of the car before I caught sight of Rainbow coming out of the house and walking to me.
"Hey kid." I said as I bent down and grabbed the triple intake bug catcher before turning to the dukes.
"I'm not a kid! I'm a fully grown mare." she said with a huff as she stopped and stood next to me.
"Judging by the way you guys have been speaking you were horses back on your world, correct?" I asked.
"Wrong! Where do you go off on calling a mare a whorse!" she shouted.
"Oh.... oh." I said in realization. "I'm sorry, I guess horse is the same term for a whore. So what were you guys?"
"Ponies. We were ponies." she said and I heard the faintest chuckle come form KV.
"Okay thats nice to know." I said as I went to work on the engine. I went over to the toolbox by the bench and grabbed a torque wrench with a 1.25x35mm end piece. I also grabbed a adjustable wrench just in case, since I didn't feel like going back if the size was wrong.
"So what are you doing?" Rainbow asked.
"Placing a new bug catcher onto the car." I said as I placed the tools on a spot in the engine bay before grabbing the catcher and placing it where the old one was at.
"Why would you want to catch bugs? And whats a car?" she asked, causing me to sigh inside my mind.
"How about you be helpful and hold the catcher in place and I'll answer your questions." I said as waited for her to hold onto the catcher before grabbing the bolts and the wrench.
"Sure." she said as I checked to see if my selection of tools was right and the bit size I had grabbed worked, so I placed the bolt into its place before I started to fasten it.
"Well this bug catcher is used to grab more air as it goes so the engine can burn more fuel when driving, allowing it to move faster." I said as I started on the next bolt.
"It's that really all it does?" she asked.
"Well no. It makes the car look sexy, depending on the car it's placed on." i said as I finished the second bolt and started on my third.
"Okay, so what's a car?"
"Do you guys have carriages in your world?" she nodded. "Well a car is a carriage that doesn't need anyone to pull it, but it does need someone to drive it."
"Cool. How fast do these carriages get?"
"Usually a hundred and thirty, but back in our world the fastest car was the Koenigsegg Agera R. With a top speed of 273 mph, it was the fastest. But there were some guys who where able to beat the land travel record in a car but braking the sound barrier." I finished as I started working on my sixth bolt.
"Wow." she said.
"Yea but that's not really that good." I said.
"What?! How can being fast not be good?" she questioned.
"Because when it comes to most things in life, slow and steady wins the race." I paused. "Used to have a girlfriend that said that to me all the time, even in bed." I said as I started to remember her before giving a sigh. 'Never did get to hang out with her, probably thought I stood her up.' I thought as I finished attaching the catcher to the engine.
"Eww. Didn't need to know dude." she said as she stepped back.
"Sorry you just seemed to be that kind of girl." I said as she was about to to yell at me but I stopped her. "And thanks for helping me."
"No problem." she said as went over to my elegy and checked it over. "So what's this, and how fast does it go?"
"This baby here is modeled over a Nissan Skyline R34 GTR but here it's called the Elegy Retro Custom. A beauty she is, and she maxes out at 163.3 mph." I said. Now I had a lot more aftermarket parts on this car than were allowed in game, and that's the only reason she's so fast.
"That doesn't sound so fast." she said as she wasn't that interested.
"Hey she looks beautiful and she can beat the cops, so it's a win win." I said as I looked to the left side of the car and grimaced. There were several bullet holes along the door and rear quarter panel. Looks like I'm gonna have to either buy some more panels or get some metal and fix it myself.
"If you say so." she said as I pulled my phone out and checked the time and saw that it was near noon.
"Okay out the garage. I have some people I have to train and they'll be here soon so out." I said as I put the phone back in my pocket and ushered her out the garage.
"Sheesh why is training them so important?" she asked as I closed the door.
"Because they pay the damn bills. Legally." I said as I started to walk to the stables.
"Legally? Then that means-"
"Not all the people in this city are good Rainbow." I said with a serious tone before stopping and looking at her with a straight face. "I'm a criminal, but at least I'm one of the nicer ones." And with that I left her and went to the stables to get that little bitch's horse ready for her.
