//------------------------------// // Chapter 44: Worst. Day. EVER. // Story: How Did I Get Here? // by k12314 //------------------------------// CHAPTER 44 AUTHORS NOTE: I just wanted to give a shout-out to RainbowCrash20, author of the fanfic "The TARDIS in Equestria." Great story, bro! I sat at home, think about going out that day. "Everypony might think I'm a freak... And what will they say to Dashie?" I was proud of what had happened, that was for sure. But I was still worried about Dashie's and my reputation. "You know what, bugger to whatever anypony else thinks!" I jumped up off the sofa and threw on my jacket and hat. "Nopony can ruin my good mood." I walked outside, and nopony paid me any mind. That is, nopony but the familiar five standing in front of me. "Oh, hey everypony. What's up?" Twi cleared her throat. "Well... It's about you and Rainbow Dash..." "Ah' told em' not t' confront Ya' 'bout it. Sorry, Kyle." "Nah, it's OK, AJ. What is it you wanted to tell me, Twi?" "Well... We don't think that the more... Physical aspects of your relationship are completely... Healthy..." All the color drained from my face. "W-what do you mean?" "Well, we just think that you two went a bit too far." "Darling, we're worried about you two..." Rarity sounded sincere, but I wasn't so sure. "I... I don't want anything to happen... I mean... If it's alright with you for me to worry..." Fluttershy hid behind her mane. "Yeah! We don't want any frownzy-wounzies between you two!" Pinkie jumped up and down as she said that. The color came back to my face... But I started shaking. Not from fear, but from anger. "So... You think you can all just show up here and tell me how to work my relationship?" I managed to sound calm, but I sure didn't look it. "Kyle, we're just worried..." Twi levitated a book she had with her to read from it "My books tell me-" I smacked the book down. "To the moon with what your books say! It's my love life, I can run it as I please!" Everypony took a step back when I did that. I wasn't one who could suppress anger easily... "Kyle... Ah' think Ya' might wanna jus' simmer down there..." "No. Now you all listen HERE. I won't have any of you waltzing around, acting like you know what I should and shouldn't do. I know you're my friends, but even friends have boundaries, an you all just crossed a VERY important one. Now, good day." I stomped off, leaving everypony staring, bewildered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sat at my favorite restaurant, sipping on a coffee. Coffee always calms my nerves. I sat there, listening to my MP3 Player, sipping my coffee for about ten minutes. I was still upset at my friends for confronting me like that. I felt a few stares, and then I heard a whisper. "Hey... It's Kyle... Yeah I heard to... Gross, huh?" I slammed my coffee on the table, and stood up. I walked over to the source of the whisper: A pegasus, with basketballs as his Cutie Mark, and large brown bangs covering his eyes. "Ooooh, what're you gonna do, huh? Call your marefriend, Rainbow CRASH? Then I lost it. I grabbed him by the throat, and slammed him against the wall. He was REALLY heavy. "Now you listen here, PUNK. If you EVER," I slowly pulled my arm back, "EVER SAY THAT ABOUT DASHIE AGAIN..." "Wait-" I threw the punch. It connected right with his mouth. He spit, and I saw a white chunk hit the floor. I had knocked one of his teeth out. I let go of him, and he slid to the ground. He got up, and ran out the door, crying. Everypony in the restaurant was staring now. "What're y'all looking at?" I picked up my coffee and left. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I sat on a park bench. I didn't feel like going back into town, mainly because I was afraid I would be arrested for assault. "Kyle...?" I felt a soft touch on my back. "AH!" I jumped and turned around, and I saw Shy. I grabbed my chest. My heart was pounding. "Holy frijoles, don't DO THAT!" "Oh... I'm sorry..." "It's alright... Phew... Now, what is it you wanted?" "I just wanted to say, I'm sorry... We didn't mean to make you angry..." I sighed heavily. I had gotten so worked up... "No... No it's alright... I shouldn't have gotten so angry..." Shy smiled. "I'll be sure to tell everypony else." She flew off. Then, I heard something scary. "Excuse me sir." I turned around, and saw a royal guard, who were like the police of Equestria. "Yeah?" "Are you the one who attacked this pegasus?" He pointed to the pegasus I had attacked, who was standing there, scared witless. "Ummm... Yeah I am..." The guilt made me confess... "Then I have to ask you to come with me." Karma, WHY?
