William sat in his bedroom, laptop on, and headphones plugged in, blaring his music as loud as he could, it had been so long since he had heard actual, human music, that he figured he deserved this. Even though his laptop didn't come preinstalled with interdimensional wifi, he still had more than enough of his favorite songs downloaded.
"Ah, this will never get old." He smiled, and closed his eyes.
"Wait, where has Joey been all this time?" He sat up, and looked out the window, the sun was getting low in the sky, and he still hadn't seen a trace of his friend.
"Ugh, I'll be a moment." He said to his computer as pulled off his headphones, he headed over to Joey's house. The first place he assumed he should look. As he walked up to his friends house, his mood was replaced by a mixture of confusion and anger. Before him stood Joey's house, unlike his own house, Joey's was only a single story in hught. A much more stereotypical example of Equestrian architecture, what with it's thatched roof, and pink outlines, a small garden stood just outside, and the patio was covered in flower pots. William walked up the the door, sighed, and knocked.
"Hey, Joey, wake up!" He could hear the sound of hooves stumbling on wood, until finally, the door swung open revealing Joey, holding a glass of water with his magic. And wearing a robe.
"Hey, William, what's up?" He smiled weakly.
"What's wrong with you?" William folded his arms.
"Eh, I think I cought something back in the Everfree-" He sneaked, William promptly backed up.
"Need me to drag you to Ponyville general?"
"Huh? Oh, no, I'm feeling better, one of the perks of being an ailcorn."
"Alrighty then, have a good recovery, I'm back to my house, Twilight let me grab my laptop from my old dorm room back on Earth, got all my favorite songs downloaded on it."
"Well cool, you 'ought to show that to Lyra, I've heard she's into that kind of stuff." William shook his head.
"Well, I'm out of here, I still haven't the slightest if Equestrian illnesses effect humans." Without another word William turned and headed back to his house. On the way, he was greeted by 5 of the main six.
"Where are you off to in such a hurry?"
"Oh, there's been an... incident down in Manehattan with Fluttershy."
"What kind?"
"Well...She hasn't quite been acting like herself."
"Oh, good, I couldn't care less, call me back when there's something life threatening on the loose." He watched as they went off on their way. As soon as they where out of sight, he heard a massive crash behind him. He turned to find... a manticore of all things, rampaging through town, just down the street from him, a little to close for comfort as far as his houses safety was concerned. A .50 Beowulf rifle appeared on his hands, with an Eotech 552 scope siting stoutly on it's top. He raised it to his shoulder, set the being's head in his sight. And squeezed the trigger, sending a 3 round burst into it's skull, it fell to the ground, dead.
"Better, hey, can sompony clean that up!?" He called out, dropping the rifle down to his chest. He threw open the door of his house, rushed back upstairs, pulled the headphones back on over his head, and pressed play. After a while, he drifted back off to sleep.
When William awoke, the sun was just beginning to rise in the sky, he could hear commotion in the street below him.
"Well, that was a fun day of doing absolutely nothing, eh, I'm bored now, let's see if there's anything I can do to cure it." He jumped out of bed, his back aching slightly. He stumbled downstairs, and poured himself a glass of water.
"I'm not in the mood to make breakfast. Restaurant it is!" He downed the rest of the glasses contents, and walked outside.
"William!" Joey trotted up to him.
"Ah, I see you're doing better." William commented.
"Yep. What are you doing out so early?"
"Eh, I'm bored. There just isn't anything left in this world that's worthwhile, I mean, sure, there's that whole...you know what. But I'm saving that for a special occasion."
"Have yu considered heading down to the school of friendship and seeing how Ocellus, Gallus, Silverstream, Yona, Sandbar and Smolder are doing?"
"Hmmm, that's not a bad idea, let's go see if the young six have been fully brainwashed yet." He jogged across town, and before long, stood at the front doors of the so called 'school'. He pulled open the door, and walked inside.
" Hey, Twilight, I'm looking for those 'students' of yours, ya better hope you haven't brainwashed with that friendship stuff yet!" He could hear yelling coming from farther inside the school. Rainbow Dash to be specific yelling about what he could assumed was a rollercoaster of sorts.
"Hey, Rainbow, what are you yelling about!?" He called out.
"Oh, hey William, I'm talking about the wild blue yonder!" He raised an eyebrow.
"You mean the horizon? You're excited about flying, of all things? Oh that's right's, you're a pegasus damnit." He facepalmed.
"No, I mean the roller coaster in Los Pegasus."
"What are you complaining about then, if you want to ride it, then go. Stop bragging about it, and go. Also, where's you're students?"
"Uh, right behind me, thanks for the advice!" She sped off, leaving a trail of rainbow light behind her. He turned back to the assortment of creatures before him. William looked over at Joey.
"You can go if you want, I hate rollercoasters." He nodded, and flew off after Rainbow.
"So" He clasped his gloved hands together, "Anything interesting going on in you're lives?"
"No, not really." William looked over at Gallus, and an idea sparked in his mind.
"Y'all have any spare plates, or Frisbees around here?"
The group stood on the field just south of the school, William held a shotgun. Gallus, and the rest of the group held an assortment of dinner plates and Frisbees.
"I still don't understand how this is supposed to be fun."
"Oh, it will be, start tossing 'em." Gallus did as told, and threw a plate. William raised the shotgun, and fired. Blowing it to smithereens.
"So, who wants to try next?"
