Total Burnout

Even More Questions

"Where are we going, I’m tired, my leg hurts where you stabbed me. Ass move by the way."We've been walking for like an hour now. Still no idea where we're going, stubborn mare wouldn’t tell me anything. "We're not playing the silent game.We're playing the talking game, and you're losing to me. So, how does it feel to be beaten twice in one day by the new guy? How does it feel to be a loser?" I’m trying to play mind games with her; oddly enough it’s not working. I’m still gonna keep trying to bug her though. Kinda fun. "Hey, slowpoke, can you hear me? Or are you as deaf as you are slow?" Oh god she's stopped.

"Sweet Celestia I will murder you! Shut up!" I'm laughing on the inside right now, ok on the outside too. On a much related note I don't think I’ve ever seen an angrier looking anything in my life. What have I done? I don't think I’ve ever been this terrified in my life, kinda exciting though.

"Uh hehe, Sorry 'bout that Dash. Just lookin for some answers s'all. Figured I’d get to you eventually hehe." Please please please, just one answer. Where the hell are we going! That’s all I need. "So uh, mind telling me where we are going?"

"Ugh, where here anyway, just get inside and we'll try and answer your questions and stuff. Oh and uh, sorry about stabbing you. You know it was kinda funny though." Funny in a, I’m going to get you back kind of way. "Oh and for the record." Wow she's getting really close. "I’m the fastest there is, and EVER. WILL. BE." That was weir- *Tail brushes across face* Oh god. What just happened? S-she blushing at me. "Hehe, now come on inside, my friends have been waiting for you."

"uhh, bu-. Ugh, L-lets just get inside." That was...interesting. I can't believe I didn't realize where we were going; we’re just outside of Twilight's Library. Well, I guess it’stime to meet the rest of them. I'll figure out what just happened with Rainbow later. It's time to get my questions answered...Wow; it really is as big in here as everyone says it is. And there they are, the other five waiting, I guess for me. "Umm, hello?" I'm terrible at first impressions. Need to work on that.

"Well hey there pardner! Seems you've recovered mighty fast, When I pulled you out'a that pit you were more burned up than my brothers cookin!" Pulled me out? OH CRAP THAT'S RIGHT! I remember now! Applejacks the one who pulled me out of that stupid smoldering pit! "Y-Y-You’re the one that saved me! I’m so grateful, you saved my life!" I remember it all now. The crash, Applejack rescuing me. Was I really close to death? The doctor said I had recovered basically overnight. Is that normal? *Blushing* "Oh, It was nothin' just helpin somepony in need. It wouldn't ah' been right of me if I left you there." She saved me; I need to make a mental note to find a way to pay her back. I owe her my life. "*Clears throat* Yes, we're all happy to see that you have recovered, my name is Twilight Sparkle, and these are my friends. You've already met Rainbow Dash and Applejack, and this is Rarity.”

"Pleasure to meet you". Just as regal and breathtakingly gorgeous as always. But there’s no need for this, I just want to get this pseudo-interrogation over.

"I’m sorry ladies, no introductions needed. I’m already aware of who you all are and your accomplishments." Oh no, I didn't mean to say it like that. Crap.

”Oh? I didn't know we were that well known. You’re not from around here correct?"Just nod and smile, she has no idea how correct she is. ”Then may I ask how you know of us? Not a lot of ponies outside of ponyville recognize us." Oh crap, thank god I’m amazing at making up stories on the spot.

"Oh um, you see I’m a traveler, I go all over the world, not just Equestria but well, everywhere. You'd be surprised how fast the tale of six lovely mares that stopped a goddess and a chaos spirit spreads; you’re really famous in some places, heroines even." Applejack is looking at me weird; I’m hoping she really can't tell when someone is lying. It’s the same look as when I regained consciousness in that hole, like she's trying to figure me out. I can't let her figure me out. "Um, is there something wrong Applejack?" She’s not responding, just narrowing her eyes even more."Um, Applejack? Is there a problem?" Naw, nothin's wrong. Just tryin to work somethin out." That’s creepy; she can’t be on to me already can she?

”Yeaaaah ok, anyway. Mr. Burnout was it? We have some questions we'd like to ask you.” Ugh, might as well get this whole thing over with. "Yeah, sure go ahead." I hope I don’t mess this up. ”Excellent! I would like to get some background history on you if that isn't too much to ask." Great, with Applejack already onto me this isn't going to be easy. I need to try and dodge as many questions as I can "History? My past isn't really something I like to talk about. I left a lot behind when I became a traveler." Yeah, I'll stick to the troubled past story as much as I can.
Reveal as little as possible. "Hmm, ok. Those markings on your wings, I’ve never seen anything like them before. Is that a natural mark?" I guess most normal pegasi don’t have hot rod flames on their wings, they must look pretty weird. "Yeah actually. These marks on my wings have been here for as long as I can remember, Everyon-pony always
thought they looked a bit odd. I never minded though, I thought they were pretty cool." That sounds good.

"They are rather fashionable."

"They look so burney!"

"Yeah they're pretty cool I guess."

"Yes yes, he gets it. Everypony really likes his wings. We have a few pages of questions to get through and I’d like to get through them all." Pages of Questions...this is going to take a while...
