//------------------------------// // ....gray // Story: Let’s just see... // by FirePie //------------------------------// “M-mom?” A little pony asked to a much larger pony. “Can I go o-outside? Please?” The larger pony, a mare, unicorn, coat of dark purple and mane and tail of orange color, named Obsidia, said, “Sapphire...” the little filly, 13 years of age, pegasus, coat of a blue sapphire, mane and tail of amber, Sapphire Gild, looked up at Obsidia, “you know what goes on in this town, you know what my answer is.” “Yes mom...” Sapphire sulked “too dangerous. So I’ll just go back to my room.” She quickly flew up the stairs to the right. “That child...” Obsidia sighed, “needs to learn how that place works before she can explore. With all those ‘monsters’ out there.” “So,” Dull asked the group, “how’s it going? Them? All good?” “Great?! I guess?” Cheer said, not very cheery. That took them all by surprise, Cheer? Not being Cheery? “Cheer?” Blunt, the last one they expected to ask, asked, “you feeling fine? A-anything...” Sapphire’s room was one not what you expect from a filly. When most fillies like pink, jewelry, and also, clean... Sapphire’s room resembled a colt’s room, and also, a mess. “What is it about this town that is so unsafe?” Sapphire asked to the little eagle in front of her, named Scarlet. The eagle squawked. “Don’t give me that tone of voice miss!” Sapphire snapped. *Squawk* “Heh, you are starting to sound like my mom. Funny.” *Squawk* “I know I know. ItS fOr My PrOtEcTiOn~ MwEhH~“ *Squawk* "Yes, you're right.... You're always right. How could I forget?” Sapphire starts laughing. “Ohhh~ it cracks me up every time.” *Squawk* "No need to keep telling me that Scar." *Squawk* "Fine. You like your full name better. Scarlet, better?" *Squawk* It nods. "Good for you." Sapphire frowns before quickly shaking her head, “Heheh... whatever.” *Squawk* “Fine. I’ll listen. Just tell me about it when Mom finally leaves for work.” “Ok. Mom isn’t here. We can now talk.” *SQUAWK* “Such honesty~.” Mot said. “Much wow.” Dull added. “Much morons” Blunt sighed. “Hey hey!” Cheer cheered, “you’re getting it now~” “......Yes.” Blunt murmured. “Quite” “Blunt~...” “Sapphire!?” Obsidia yelled out, opening the door to their house. “Honey?!” She closed the door. “She must be asleep. I’ll go check on her.” Slowly walking up the stairs, she softly knocked on Sapphire’s room. “Sapphire dear?” The door opened. “S-Sapphire?” ****outside**** “I don’t think this is a good idea anymore Scarlet.” Sapphire whimpered. *sqauwk* “I-I-I think we s-should go back.” “Little one?” Sapphire quickly looked up at the offending figure. “What is somepony like you out at...” he quickly looked to the moon with it’s creepy pony face, “...at a time like this?” The pony, stallion, unicorn, honey coat, crimson mane with charcoal highlights. “O-oh. Well...” Sapphire stammered, “I...” “Hey hey now.” He said. “It’s fine. It’s fine.” He sounded reassuring. And nice. “Why are you out? You know how this place is at night.” “You’re beginning to sound like my mother.” Sapphire said, with a roll of her eyes. The stallion laughed. “Hey, you must be Sapphire Gild right? Me and your dad talked a lot when we were younger.” “Wait, you knew my dad?!” Sapphire asked. “Indeed I do. My name’s Moonshadow Buster. But, let’s not talk here.” He said, “come, i’ll take you back home.” “B-but...” “I’ll tell you about your father~” he said, walking to her house. “Ok.” Sapphire said, walking with him. “Isn’t he like her uncle?” Dull asked. “Or... something.” “I actually think he’s her Great Uncle or something.” Blunt replied. “Hmm Yeah... or something.” Mot said. “Why does she has this much of a family?” “Just be happy that...” There was a knock on the door. “Ms. Pop?” Moonshadow said to the door. Not receiving an answer. “Obsidia?” “Mom~?” Sapphire opened the door. “Y-you in here?” “It’s me Moonshadow!” He called out to the empty room, “I’ve brought Sapphire Gild home! Obsidia?” “Oh where could she have went~?” Mot sneered, quite obviously. Cheer didn’t quite get that obvious tone in Mot’s voice. “Yeah!” Cheer said, “must of went outside to look for Sapphire!” “Yes... must of.” Blunt sighed in irritation. Obsidia did in fact go outside to look for Sapphire Gild. And obviously, Obsidia didn’t find her, because Moonshadow found her first. Anyway, Obsidia is now tied up in some stallion’s basement, gaged and blind folded. Sudden, right? The basement in question is what you would expect for a basement, And the stallion was nowhere to be found, having finishes his late night ‘work’. His late night ‘work’ is... well... let’s not talk about that. “Are we...” “Don’t worry about it Cheer.” Dull said. “All that I don’t like is the next one we have to make is a product of this.” Mot sighed. Shaking himself. “Sorry Mot. You’re just gonna have to deal with it.” Cheer said. Mot groaned. We now take another look at Obsidia, currently being walked out of the stallion’s house which is surrounded by police ponies. The stallion, cuffed, is being dragged into the carriage. All is good in the little village for now. Obsidia was reuntfied with Sapphire and Moonshadow. Him guiding her home. “Come on Ms Scroll.” Moonshadow said, “we are almost home.” “Y-Yeah mom.” Sapphire said, tears streaming down her face. “We-we are almost there.” “Are we done with this?” Blunt asked. “Uhh no?” Cheer questioned, “we still got some more words to say.” “Fine sure.” Blunt said. “...what are those words?” “I don’t really know... we just...” “Too bad chapter has...” Mot said. “Let’s just put in a song!” Cheer interrupts. “Fine...” Blunt sighed, “you choose Cheer.” “Yay!” Cheer cheered. “I hate you” Blunt finally said. “Did you know that?”
