//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: New home // by Oaoadil //------------------------------// Pedro woke up and rubbed his eyes. He went to the balcony and breathed the fresh air. Soon he entered the kitchen where he saw three girls laying on the couch with one big blanket. He slightly smiled and decided to walk for a walk, but the phone rang. He took it, and he heard a familiar voice. "Good morning, Banana Man. People named you like that. They think that you are a vigilante, but I think that you know it from the newspaper. Anyway, I have work for you. There is a night club 'Dancing pony'. In front of it, some bandits made their base in there. I want you to take care of them. If you understand what I am talking about. You need to be there at 17.00." Pedro put the phone, wore the cloak and exited the flat. When he was outside, he saw a newspaper on the bench. He took it and read the article about him. 'Banana man. Hmm, strange name.' He put the newspaper back on the bench and headed to the random direction. Soon he found the Carousel Boutique. He looked inside and saw that Rarity (as he remembers) was sewing the clothes. Then he saw a little girl who was helping her. 'Sister'. Suddenly he felt that someone put the hand on his shoulder. He quickly turned around and took the person in police grab. "Ou, ou, ou. It's me. Pinkie." Pedro looked at the person and recognized her as the pink girl from the Sugarcube Corner. Pedro released the girl and she rubbed her arm. "You have a good grab," she said. Pedro nodded and wanted to leave, but Pinkie stopped him. "Wait, I didn't even throw you the party!" Pedro made a gesture 'No need' and walked away. "Oh no! You won't leave now! At least, say where are you leaving!" Pedro froze on his tracks and turned his head to Pinkie. He shook his head and left. Pinkie wanted to say something, but the door opened and Rarity exited her Boutique. "Pinkie, what happened?" she asked. "I just wanted to know where Pedro lives. I want to throw him a party, but he refuses." "I think, he just wants to be alone. Maybe later?" "Mmm, okay. Later." Meanwhile, Pedro approached the park and sat on the bench. He was listening to how birds were singing and relaxed. Soon he saw Applejack who was eating the apple and watching Rainbow Dash who was skateboarding. The last one noticed Pedro and said: "Hey, you! I remember you!" Pedro waved his arm. Rainbow Dash approached him and said: "I saw that you like skateboarding. Do you want to join me?" Pedro thought a little and nodded. "Cool, now show me some of your tricks." Pedro took an RD's skateboard and began making the tricks he knew. "Wow, that was cool but not as cool as my tricks." With those words, she demonstrated some of her tricks. Pedro lifted his thumb up. "Thanks," said Rainbow Dash. Pedro asked what time is it. "10.00," said Rainbow Dash. Pedro nodded and walked away, waving to her. Soon he found the club 'Dancing pony'. It was a third-floored building with a big sign on the second floor. Then he looked at the building, which was standing in front of the club. Pedro saw that building was in normal condition, but some windows were broken. Also, he saw a few bandits, who were drinking the beer and talking with each other. Pedro decided to look inside the club. He approached doors and opened them. On the left and right sides, the tables were standing, while in the middle there was a big dancing pool, with DJ place. Then Pedro noticed some cameras and the lift in the corner. Then he approached the bar counter and ordered one whiskey. He took a sip and began thinking about the plan. 'I can just go inside this moron's house and kill him or shoot him with my sniper rifle or-' "I can help you." Pedro looked around and saw...Pedro. "Hi, hadn't seen you for long," said Banana. "You thought that you killed me? I'm not real, that's why I can't be killed. I am sorry for not keeping a promise and for trying to kill you, but I see that you are in the trouble. I want to help you." Pedro looked at his friend with a suspicious look but nodded. "Good. Now there is my plan. Firstly, we need to do what this Filthy Rich said. We will rub in trust. Secondly...well, we can kill some of his relatives, if he has them. Or just kill him right away. What do you choose?" Pedro thought a little. He chose the first one. "That's your choice. Now, firstly we will kill those bandits in that building, and then try to know does Filthy Rich has relatives or something like that?" Pedro nodded and paid for the drink. Then he headed to his home. Suddenly he saw Sunset and Twilight who were chatting in the park. "Well, you know them. Try to ask them," said Pedro (b). Pedro approached the girls and waved his arm. "Oh hi," said Sunset. "Hi," greeted Twilight. "I heard that you were skateboarding with Rainbow Dash. It's cool to make friends, isn't it?" Pedro nodded. "So, where are you from?" Pedro asked for a pen and paper by gestures and Twilight gave him a notebook and wrote. "I am from another town." "What do you think about our city?" "It's beautiful and peaceful. Very bad that there is a crime in this town." "Yeah. Filthy Rich is ruling Ponyville with the iron arm. And Diamond Tiara is terrorizing and threatening our school." The last part really interested Pedro. 'Bingo'. "Who is Diamond Tiara?" "It's Filthy Rich's daughter. She is very domineering and bad. If she doesn't like someone, this person will be missing." Pedro was quiet. Suddenly they saw Gilda who was bullying Fluttershy again. "That's Gilda. Local bully" said Sunset. Pedro approached them and pushed Gilda away from the shy girl. "Hey, prick! What are you doing?" Pedro made a gesture 'Go away'. "No way. I won't le-" Pedro punched her into the face. "Agh! My nose! You will pay for it!" Gilda charged at Pedro, but he easily dodged it and kicked her leg. She fell to the ground and Pedro stepped on her back to not allow her to get up. Fluttershy gasped and covered her mouth. Meanwhile, Twilight and Sunset were watching them and were astonished by the fight. "Wow, from where does he know these tricks?" "Maybe training." Fluttershy approached Pedro and said: "Thanks." Pedro nodded and removed his leg from Gilda's back. She got up and shook off the dust of her clothes. "It's not the end! We will meet again!" Gilda ran away. Pedro waved to Fluttershy and headed to his apartment. When he entered the room, he saw girls, who were arguing again. "I am not stupid!" shouted Sonata. "No, you are!" shouted Aria. Pedro approached the table and smashed his fist onto it. Dazzlings yelped and looked at Pedro. He took a notebook and wrote: "Apologize to each other." "Sorry," said Sonata. "Sorry," "Sorry for calling you stupid." Pedro slightly smiled and nodded. "Wow, you really care about these girls," said Pedro (b). "We had lunch and left some for you," said Adagio pointing to the plate with a taco. "Oh hi, we bought some food. That's for you," said Sonata pointing to the plate with one piece of pizza and taco. He sat at the table and began eating. After that, he entered his room and lied on his couch. Meanwhile, Dazzlings were talking with each other. "Where do you think he was?" "No idea, maybe hanging out with his girlfriend." "He is very nice. Maybe we should tell him the truth?" Dazzlings looked at each other.
