//------------------------------// // Chapter 8 Freedom // Story: A Behemoth in Equestria (cancelled) // by Fanskapet //------------------------------// "Hello boys we are back!" Applejack shouted as she and Twilight entered the barn, making both Vilefor and Big Mac jump in surprise. "So have you become friends?" Twilight asked with a smile, as she saw Big Mac sitting down infront of Vilefor. "Uhm pretty much, so how was Fluttershy?" Vilefor asked as the girls sat down beside Big Mac, to look at the big purple creature. "Well it turns out ya were right, so eh ah guess we owe ya an apology, for tying you up and well breaking yer back fin." Applejack said with a nervous smile towards him. "My back what?" Vilefor said trying to turn his head around. "Uhm let me help you out of the ...straightjacket." Twilight said as she lit up her horn, levitating the chains and potatosacks off of him. "Ah yes freedom!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh, do you smell it?" Vilefor said as he stretched out his limbs like a cat, getting confused looks from the ponies, who begun snffing the air, before looking at each other with raised eyebrows. "Uhm smell what?" Twilight asked looking at Vilefor like he was crazy. "Freedom my little horsie." He said with a smile as he picked her up in his hands and held her close to his face. "Eek!" she squealed out in fright as she got picked up and held close to his big teeth. "Uhm Vilefor, don`t do that." Big Mac said looking at the struggling form of Twilight in his hands. "Eh? oh heh sorry, just felt so good to be trusted." Vilefor said with a apologetic smile as he put down Twilight and patted her on the head with his hand, making her legs give out and forcing her on her stomach with a *oof*. "Twi ya okay?" Applejack asked giving her a helping hoof and giving Vilefor an angry glare. "Uhm well now that the trust part is done.....what happens next?" Vilefor asked as he sat down on his back legs and crossed his arms over his chest. "Well now the research starts." Twilight said with a grunt as she got back up on her legs. "What now? it is almost night." Vilefor said pointing towards the setting sun he could see past the barn doors. "Not tonight! I meant we start tomorrow, sharing info like we agreed, right?" Twilight said looking up at Vilefors face. "Oh yeah we did, didn`t we?" Vilefor said looking at the other two ponies. "Eeyup." Both Applejack and Big Mac said in unison. "Wait where is Spike?" Vilefor said as he looked over the ponies in the room. "Oh I left him at the library to make supper, while i went over to release you." Twilight said as she looked at Vilefor stroking his beard. "Ah okay.... where should I sleep?" Vilefor asked with a yawn. "Well umm why not in the barn? so I know where you are." Twilight suggested, ignoring Applejack frowning at the suggestion. "Well ah think he should stay here." Big Mac said making Applejack turn her frown towards him instead. "Fine he still has to work off his debt." Applejack said with a sigh. "Wait debt?" Vilefor said as he laid down on his stomach, getting his head at the same level as Applejacks. "Yes ya broke our roof, ya pay it off." Applejack said narrowing her eyes at Vilefor. "That`s not fair ya made me break the roof." Vilefor said pointing a finger towards Applejack. "Eh maybe it`s best this way Vilefor, ya don`t want to see her angry and we could use some help around the farm." Big Mac said putting a hoof on Vilefors finger to lower it. "Fine might learn a little from it." Vilefor said with a sigh as he laid down on his side and rested his head on his hands. "So this is goodnight then? will we start with working off the debt or Twilights research?" Vilefor asked with a yawn. "Well can I start with him tomorrow?" Twilight asked leaning close to Applejack giving her the same look she has when she finds a new book. "Well sure, but don`t make him to tired or scare him away before he can pay off his debt." Applejack said with a sigh. "And there they go again, like i am some kind of pet for them." Vilefor thought as he stopped listening to the two mares, as they kept talking for what felt like an hour. "Well I better head back to the library, see you tomorrow Vilefor ooh it is going to be so incredible." Twilight said with a giggle before heading through the barn door. "Well ah guess it is goodnight for us too, we have trees to buck tomorrow." Applejack said as she to walked out of the barn. "G`night Vilefor." Big Mac said wih a nod as he closed the barn door after him, leaving Vilefor to lay down on a makeshift bed made out of piles of hay. "Likewise." Vilefor said as he laid down. "Wait what did they say earlier about my back fin?" He thought as he laid in the darkness. okay probably the last chapter in a long while, hope you like it, next chapter toooooo many questions from twilight
