//------------------------------// // Things // Story: Alive // by Broneyofnoel //------------------------------// "Alright, breakfast is done, Parker, tell me why you hat your old world." Twilight said as they walked back up the stairs, towards Parker's room. "Are you sure you want ot hear this, it's not that nice." Parker said, logging on to his computer. "Yes." Twilight said, sitting next to him. Parker opened up the internet window, the page bstayed blank, he clicked on 'Equestria daily', didn't work. "What's wrong?" Twilight asked. "No internet, I guess I'll have to show you some reports. "That sounds nice, better actually, I love reports." Twilight clapped her hooves. Parker opened up Microsoft Word, and clicked on his reports, nothing was there. "Crap, no reports." Parker turned around and looked at Twilight, he was going to have to explain it. "Okay Twilight, I hated my last world for many reasons," Parker continued, "One of them being friends." Twilight looked confused, "You hate your friends?" "No, I had zero friends, and the friends I had made before, they weren't friends, they were fakes," Parker paused, "People in my world aren't nice, in fact there are very few nice people, everyone is always so angry." "Why?" Twilight asked. "I don't know Twilight, I wish that I could stay here forever, I can't go back, I, people hate my so much, and I'm tired of them, I was planning to run away from home the day you came." Parker sighed, "I'm glad you saved me." "Why can't you?" Twilight asked, "Why can't you stay?" "I can?" tears were coming to Parker's eyes, tears of joy, he had no problem of going back. "Yes you can." Twilight gave him a hug. "Th-thank you so much!" Parker said. "Now, back to your world's explanation." Twilight resat herself. "Right, aside from people," Parker paused, deciding what to say next, "really, people, the things they do." "Like what?" Twilight asked. "Well, we have wars." Parker said, looking at Twilight. "What's a war?" Twilight asked. "War, war is where people fight, well most of the time anyway," Parker paused, "There is a war going on where people kill people with bombs they hid, they've even stuffed them in dogs bodies." Twilight was horrified, but Parker didn't stop. "There was a world war seventy years ago, a man named Adolf Hitler killed 6 million Jewish people in Europe adn the world, he was an evil man." "The Vietnam war was awful as well, the soldiers who fought in it, they weren't but barely recognized when they came home." Parker finished. "Stop, please!" Twilight pleaded. "Do you want to know anything else?" Parker was sorry for telling her everything. "Not just yet, that was enough for now." Twilight waved her hoof. "Alright, I'm going to go out adn talk to Fluttershy." Parker said. "Okay." she said as Parker walked out of his room. Parker walked over to Fluttershy's cottage, she was outside tending to some small woodland creatures. "Fluttershy?" Parker asked. "Eep!" Fluttershy shot straight up a tree. "Fluttershy, it's just me, it's okay, I promise." "Wh-Who..Parker, oh," She floated down, "I'm sorry." His mind went wild, she just became amazingly more cute. "Don't be sorry, I scared you." Parker insisted. "Sorry.I mean, what are you doing here?" Fluttershy asked, looking at him. "Well, I thought I'd come by, remember the party?" Parker said. "Oh, right, let me show you inside." Fluttershy turned and guided Parker through her front door, once inside, she sat him down on her couch. "Do you like tea?" she asked, walking to the kitchen. "No, no t really, could I have some water though?" Parker asked, trying to sound sweet. "Okay." Fluttershy said quietly. Fluttershy came back to the living room with a tray that had a cup of tea and a cup of water on it. She gave Parker the water and took the tea herself. "Parker, if you don't mind, could you tell me what those cuts on your cheek are." Fluttershy said. "Cuts?" Parker felt his cheek, sure enough, there were two mysterious cuts on it. "I don't know." he finally said. "They look bad, could I fix them up please?" Fluttershy asked. "Alright, I guess." he said, and in no time, Fluttershy was back with her medical kit. She covered the two cuts in an anti biotic cream, and then bandages. "And finally..." Fluttershy kissed his cheek, making him blush. "Umm, Fluttershy?" he said, and she looked into his eyes, she blushed. "Sorry, you need to go!" she rushed him out the door, and slammed it. "Well, that was.. weird." he said, walking off. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fluttershy kissed his cheek, not just to make it better, but because she had to find an excuse to kiss him. "You need to go!" she ran him out, she was so embarrassed. After she slammed the door closed, she collapsed against the door, she sobbed, she had Parker in the room, she could have just said something, but no, she had to go and blow it. Fluttershy looked out her door as Parker walked away, she saw him go over the hill, then she relaxed. "I'm pathetic." she said as she sunk into her bed. Fluttershy cried some more until she finally cried herself to sleep. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Day 3 of the disappearance of Parker Mathews, a review of the story will be up next." Nancy Grace said, pointing to the camera. The television wet to commercials, and behind set, Nancy's assistant appeared. "Nancy, the mother is being arrested, the police are standing by for a call." he said. The camera came back from commercial. "Breaking news, Parker's mother, Shelby Mathews has been taken to jail for questioning in his disappearance." "That's all we have time for tonight." Nancy said, and the cameras turned off. "I'll see you all tomorrow, I'm going home." Nancy said, walking out the door. Nancy walked to her car and drove home, once at home she turned on to her computer, she logged on. "Nancy, the Great and Powerful Trixie needs you." her speakers sounded. "What!" Nancy said as the world around her disappeared.
