//------------------------------// // Getting to know the mane six // Story: Vault Dweller's fate // by TheValdetiosi //------------------------------// 10mm pistol. Always useful for tiny insects and animals. Minigun, the best weapon for a mass raid. Super sledge, fly farther than from the sledgehammer and hurts as more. And finally, The Power fist, powered by small energy cells, it gives a good shock to my hostiles. Twilight and Applejack gasped, when i demonstrated, how the gun works. I really didn't guess, that one bullet would do a hole size of my head, when i shot on the wall. "Listen, mister...." Twilight said, but of course, i didn't introduce myself to her. "Vault Dweller or Wanderer." I said. "True name." "Twilight, everyone keeps saying me from both of those titles, so i really don't have a true name." "Oh. Well, Vault Dweller, i'm afraid i must take your weapons away. They're far too dangerous at here and besides, we never need to use something like that. We solve the problems using our words, not these." she said and grabbed the weapons with somekind of mist flying around them, levitating them to a safe. She locked it, which seems to be an avergarge lock, so i would have some challenge to unlock and retrieve my weapons. "How do you do that?" I asked. "What?" Twilight was confused. "That...levitation thing." "It's just a normal magic spell." "Magic?" "You don't know what is magic? Magic is our unicorns power to peform spells, like the levitation or teleportation, which i used and not a some stealth boy. What is even a stealth boy?" Twilight asked. "The RobCo Stealth Boy 3001 is a personal stealth device worn on one's wrist. It , makes a person much harder to notice but not completely invisible." i explained. "That's some fancy stuff ya got there, but the weapons must stay, for our safety. If ya don't mind, ah go back to the farm. Darn apples can't be sold, if there's nopony to sell them." Applejack said and left the unicorn and human alone. "So, what about you, Twilight? Would you mind to tell me something about this town?" I asked. "Well, as far you know my friend, Applejack, i have too Rarity, Rainbowdash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Spike." she answered. "Spike? Sound's like a dogs name." "Sorry, but he's a dragon." "A dragon?" "Never heard of dragons? Scaly, fire-breathing animals, which are the one dangerous species in Equestria?" "Nope. The only dangerous thing in my world is Deathclaw. Everyone scares the name for a reason." "I see." Twilight rolled her eyes. "So, about my friends, there's an unicorn Rarity. Almost like me, but she's more interested in fashion than knowledge. Then there's Pinkie Pie. She runs a shop called Sucarcube corner, where she bakes delicious treats for all of us." "How many bottlecaps does one treat pays?" i asked, as my stomach started to feel empty. "Bottlecaps? We don't use that kind of currency. We use real gold pieces called bits." Twilight show one shiny coin in front of me. "So, there's two pegasusses, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash's mane is by her name, rainbow and she's boasting herself often from things she has done. Fluttershy is the kindest pony here in Equestria and wouldn't even hurt a fly." "And that's my friends here at Ponyville." Twilight finished. "Is there change to meet this friends of yours?" I asked from curiosity, to see what they were. "I think it's possible, but they never had seen you, so they would be a bit jumpy or worse, aggressive towards you." "I don't really care. You and Applejack learned to trust you. Why wouldn't they do the same?" "You got the point. Let's then get going." Twilight said, opened the door and we both stepped outside from the library. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I stepped outside to see this world. I was really having strange emotions, not anymore this pure fear or hatred, but something calm and relaxing. Was it because I am going to lose my mind or is this really a place for me to live my whole lifetime? Either way, i decided to follow Twilight Sparkle, as my stomach screamed for food. The town was empty, like many other at Wasteland, but here, they were really haunting me. "Umm, Twilight, you happen to know about the residents of this........?" "Ponyville, you mean? Yes, i know many of us, like me, weren't so nice for strange creatures like you....." "I'll take that as a compliment...." "Right, so here, this is Sugarcube Corner!" Twilight pointed her hoof on the strange building. I sighed and stepped inside, only to be scared by a pink pony. "HI THERE, FELLAW!!" She shouted to me. "What the?" "???" What happened was that both of us were staring each other, eye-to-eye. Me, because of her sudden appearance, she, well, because she saw me. Pink pony walked next to Twilight. "Twilight, how come you keep dragging here strange creatures?" she said. "Ahem......this is Lone Wanderer, Pinkie Pie. Lone Wanderer, this is Pinkie Pie." Twilight introduced us. I looked at Pinkie Pie, who was almost smiling all the time. I couldn't help but smile myself too. I offered my hand. She startled a little, before she decided to shake my hand. "Friend?" I asked. "Friend! This deserves a biiig Parteeh!" She shouted like she wouldn't know what's indoor volume. My stomach was now hurting from hunger. "I hope it's big enough for me....."
