//------------------------------// // Chapter 5 // Story: Tugging On The Heartstrings // by Tune_storm //------------------------------// Twilight had, for some strange reason, EVERYTHING planned out. "Eleven o'clock arrive at Ponyville, twelve o'clock lunch at Sugarcube corner with Pinkie Pie, one o'clock visit Sweet Apple Acres, two thirty tea with Rarity." It seemed like an extremely overwhelming tour, first day in Ponyville and meet EVERYPONY and see EVERYTHING. I felt like telling Twi that I just wanted a simple tour and then maybe spend a little time at home and possibly find out how to get back to my real home. But, then again, the unicorn seemed to be enjoying herself, lecturing me about different landmarks and the town's history. We had finally finished the tour at Twilight's home, the library. "Knew it," I said aloud making Twi blush a little. She showed me where I would be staying, a bed big enough for me and a pony was set up in a large room underneath the main room of the library. "I'm going to live in your basement?" I questioned. "I wouldn't call it that," Twilight said with a strange, lustful grin "It's usually my 'lab'." "Your... lab?" Twilight responded with an innocent giggle but I never got a real answer. I decided to go to the club that and see Tunestorm (as much as I wanted to punch him in the face). I arrived at the club at nine o'clock. It was almost like one of the clubs I had seen back in the human world, just a box of a building with no windows and just one door with two strong looking men (or in this case stallions) on both sides checking off guests. The line wasn't too long, but it would have been at least an hour long wait to get in if Tunestorm didn't see me, then again it would be pretty hard not to see me considering I'm the only 5 foot 6 hairless ape in this world. "Yo, Dave, I knew you would show up! Come chill with me, bro!" I followed Storm pass the bouncers into a large stair case lit with neon lights of every color. "Damn, I feel like i'm going to have a seizure," I said as I strained my eyes trying to avoid looking into the bright lights. Storm laughed "That hasn't happened in years!" "But it's happened before?" "Oh yeah. It was my first show, blasted a bit too much bass and abused the strobe lights a little. The poor mare passed out on the dance floor. Luckily, we got her to the hospital, but she now has permanent brain damage and a loopy eye." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. This Royal Guard was responsible for mentally impairing somepony!? I could only hope he wasn't playing the same song that night. We got to the bottom of the staircase when Tunestorm was suddenly surrounded by fans. "Mares please, I will be with you in a few minutes. Let me have a drink first." The ponies dispersed and Storm lead me to the bar and ordered us some sort of alcoholic beverage that wasn't half bad. Storm chugged his and started asking me some, i guess, serious questions regarding when I would be finished with my teleporter. After about two more drinks, Storm decided to mingle with the mares on the dance floor. "Typical party pony." I turned around to so a minty green unicorn, but not just any minty green unicorn. This was the one spying on me while I was in the hospital in Canterlot Castle and in my room. "You again?" I asked "Is there any other pony that would be stalking the only human in Equestria?" I thought about it, "Well Twilight Sparkle given the recent events that have happened." I tried to stop myself from talking but I was starting to become a little drunk from the three bottles of whatever I was drinking. "You shouldn't trust her, she knows nothing about your kind." She gave me a cold glare. "Who are you?" I finally asked "Lyra, Lyra Heartstrings."
