Electric Guitar sighed heavily as she made her way out of the restaurant she waitressed at. It had been a long hard day, and she just wanted to get home. It wasn't a long walk, but the dark side of Ponyville at night was not a good place for a young, attractive filly like her to be.
She said goodnight to her friend Wisty Wind at the entrance, then started her way down the less-clean streets of the town. She was halfway home when two stallions, both pegasi, appeared at the end of the street.
Electric had heard many stories from her friends about being harrassed late at night, although they hadn't been hurt or worse. She decided she wouldn't be intimidated. Besides, she was tough, she worked out and if all else failed, she could fly.
As she passed the two older stallions, she could feel their eyes on her. She was a shapely mare, she kept herself in good shape, and she watched what she ate. Despite her wild mane, she was a very attractive mare, so it came as no surprise that she was being ogled as they passed. She kept her eyes straight ahead, a pointed stare ahead that said 'I'm ignoring you, go away.'
Unfortunately, this had the exact opposite effect on the two as they turned right around and started following Electric. "Hey there, wild thing," the taller of the two said. He was a big and thick kind of pegasus stallion, that kind that worked out too much and studied too little. "My name is Dumb-Bell, and this is Hoops. What do you say we go somewhere and get better acquainted? Sweet thing like you shouldn't be wandering these streets alone, y'know?"
Without turning her head to look at either of these idiots, Electric huffed. "Thanks, kids, but I'm fine. I'm not alone, anyway, I'm going to meet my boyfriend right now, so how about you two run along and play somewhere else?" This of course did little to deter the two stallions. If they knew anything about mares, it's that the ones that were the most vulnerable were the ones doing their best to appear tough and unapproachable.
"Aw, c'mon, kiddo." Dumb-Bell said as he moved a little closer, reaching with a wing to hold under Electric's chin. "We're the gentle kind of stallions. We don't hurt chicks like you...if you're nice." Electric stared at Dumb-Bell. The subtext of this statement was glaring and obvious: Be nice, or you'll get hurt.
"I-I'm serious," she said, pulling her chin away from the big pegasus. "I really am meeting my boyfriend just down the street, he-he's waiting for me, I gotta go..." She turned to leave, only to be caught by Hoops, who'd snagged her tail in a hoof. "Let go of me, I'm warning you!" She bucked, catching Hoops in the chin and knocking him down. Both he and Dumb-Bell glared daggers at the mare, who was facing them now. She wouldn't dare put her back to them again. "Y-you creeps better get lost! I'm warning you!"
"You don't get anymore warnings, girly," Dumb-Bell said as he loomed over Electric, wings spread wide. Electric's heart pumped loudly in her throat. It screamed at her to run, fly, anything, when a loud crash broke the crazed sound of her blood rushing in her ears. All three pegasi turned to see the source of the noise, a big, thick looking earth pony throwing the garbage out.
Without even getting a good look at this stallion, Electric Guitar rushed over to him and took one of his big strong...no, fat, legs in her own. Realizing now that the big, strong earth pony was actually a big fat earth pony, she decided then and there that fat garbage pony was better than two violent sexually frustated pegasi. "Oh, there you are! I've been looking all over for you! Play along," she hissed in his ear under her breath.
Now that she was close enough to get a good look at him, the earth pony was actually rather handsome, if extremely heavy. His eyes were big, and they shone with a confidence that she rarely saw in anypony that size and shape. "Oh, uh...hey there! It's good to see you!" Electric immediately started to feel better. He was quick to pick up on things, he seemed as intelligent as he was confident. He turned his head towards Hoops and Dumb-Bell, but it didn't look like the two jocks were going to take this lying down. They approached casually, a morbid smirk on Dumb-Bell's face.
"You? A big, fat slob like you, this chick's boyfriend? I'm not buyin' it." The pegasus bully leaned in, going for intimidation. The earth pony wasn't so easily swayed, though. He stepped up to the bigger pony, deftly knocking him back a few feet with a shove of his generous chest.
"I don't think so, gentlecolts. This mare is with me, if you'll kindly be on your way and get off of my property, that'll be swell." Electric blinked in confusion. His property? Wait a sec, this was the backdoor of The Silver Dish restaurant, only one of the more prestigious places to eat in Ponyville. Was he a cook?
Hoops and Dumb-Bell smirked at each other, then flexed their wings, impressively cracking most of the joints. "Have it your way, fatty. Get ready, 'cause we're gonna pound you into a nice little piggy pie!"
"Oh, that's it, you've crossed a line with the piggy-" the earth pony said as he lunged forward, right before the whole back alley became a scene of pure chaos. Electric watched in complete confusion as Hoops and Dumb-Bell were flipped through the air, then landed and sent all kinds of trash can lids, bags of trash, and whole trash cans flying through the air, against walls, against the pegasi. A multitude of cats littering through the trash, panicked by the loud sounds, scattered through the alleyways.
Even as the chaos ensued and the clamoring continued, the two big pegasi leapt up and flew as fast as they could down the alley way and into the night sky. "Dude! What was that?! Did you see what happened?!"
"No! I-I don't know what it was, but I'll be damned if I ever try to tussle with that guy again! He's some kind of evil chaos train!"
Electric Guitar sat down on the dirty ground. She stared at the now completely wrecked alleyway. Trash was strewn everywhere, trash cans had somehow propelled themselves thirty feet away, and she even saw a trash can lid embedded in the stone wall of the opposite building. And the worst part of it was, she didn't have the faintest idea of how any of it happened. Finally snapping out of her stupor, she looked down and saw the heavy earth pony face-down on the ground, his hind legs bent in a most uncomfortable looking position over his head. "Yeah! And don't you come back...ow..."
It took Electric a moment to stand and help the butter-yellow earth pony back into a proper sitting position. She sat down in front of him, her eyes wide and confused. "I have to ask," she said cautiously. "...what happened back there? Wh-I mean, how?"
The earth pony looked around and at the chaos he had somehow caused. He then laughed and rubbed at the back of his head with a bit of embarrassment, as if this kind of thing happened to him all the time. "Ah, well...It's just a little something I do. Uh, not on purpose mind you, it just keeps happening to me."
Electric reached out a hoof to help him up. He took it and hauled himself to his feet. As he did, the pegasus could feel the muscles in his legs, and she could see a bit of his chest pushing beyond the fat. You know, if you worked out, tubby, you wouldn't look half bad. She shook her thoughts off before smiling kindly to her crazy rescuer. "Well, this has been very amusing, but I should get going. Really, thanks for your help, big guy." She leaned in and placed a light peck on his cheek before moving away from him, stepping backwards down the alley. "Maybe I'll see you sometime? My name's Electric Guitar. What's yours?"
After the dreamy blush had gone from his face, the earth pony stepped towards her, stopping once he got to the door of the building he'd emerged from. "My name's Butter Ball! Don't laugh, I'm serious! It's Butter Ball!"
