//------------------------------// // Chapter 17: Rainbows and Stares // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// I was able to spend the rest of my time in the line peacefully until about half way to the stand when they ran out of cider. Apparently there will be more tomorrow but that means I am stuck here till tomorrow. Ugh. It was about 3 p.m. as I headed back to town. When I spotted something odd. It was a cottage tree thing. There were lots of animals around it. I walked up to it right as was about to cross a little bridge I heard a scream behind me. I turned and saw a yellow blur flying away. I of course followed it after all I have nothing better to do. After about three minutes of walking I was in a field and saw a yellow blob in the field. I walked up to it and realized it was yet another kid. This one was scrawny and yellow with a pink mane and tail. Its tattoo was three butterflies. She had a rabbit with her. She does realize that just because you press yourself to the ground and don’t move it does not make you invisible? Anyway after about another minute of this I got bored. “You know I can see you right?” she just squeaked and shivered. Seriously we are just sitting here. Then that stupid rabbit came up and bit me. “You little!” I then kicked it, it hit the yellow one and bounced of her looking rather out of it. She lifted her head and looked down at the rabbit. She then looked pretty mad. Finally something new is happening. “How dare you push around my bunny! You don’t get to be mean and push others around just because you are bigger. Now you apologize!” I sense that this is supposed to work because the rabbit looks pretty freaked out. “Umm what are you doing?” She looked a bit nervous for a second then she closed her eyes and opened them again giving this weird stare. Again I get the feeling this is supposed to do something but you know whatever. “Ok then if you’re just going to stare at me like some sort of alley rapist I am gonna head off now, keep up the creepy annoying work bye.” Well that yellow one was weird, but it did not get any better as the day went. I walked through town to look for my guards. Oh Bolas who is that?! My guards were sitting at a table talking to a small multicolored cyan Pegasus. I walked up to them “Hey guys, who is your little friend?” They all looked at me. “Hello sir, this is Rainbow Dash.” “Fastest flier in Equestria!” the little one burst out. That got my attention back on her. That was a mistake, that got her talking about how amazing she is and doing something called a “sonic rainboom” granted from what she has told me about it the idea seems a bit farfetched. The worst was when she started going on and on about the wonderbolts and I just like with that white one stupidly let it slip I knew the wonderbolts. Oh man that made it horrible. After about 45 minutes of her speech I just zoned out. That is when I got thinking about how this town and ponies are crazy. Seriously we have a small white haired one who is obsessed with Canterlot and fashion, we have the pink puffy headed one that sounded like a food, we have the creepy yellow one with her weird eyes, and now this colorful one that will not shut up. We finally got away from rainbow sprint. Since we were going to have to stay in town so I could get the cider tomorrow as soon as humanly possible. This town is strangely empty, we found a motel and got a room for the three of us. We walked in and it was dark, one of my guards headed to turn on the lights when they suddenly turned on, and my eardrums nearly broke “SURPRISE!” Stupid heightened dragon senses! Before I could ask any questions that horrid pink one popped up again. “Hi this I a party for you and your friends! Do you like it?” Yet again she started to ramble for like three minutes. Eventually she left to attend to the other guests. I hate this so much! I have never been a fan of parties. That’s why for my birthday I only have Twilight, Celestia, and my guards. This whole town is somehow crammed in here but it is too crowded and crammed. I hate this! Oh Bolas! Here comes Pinkie Pie! The only reason I can remember that one is because it is pink. "Hey you! Why are you so sad looking? This is a party! You aren’t supposed to look sad at a party it is a good thing it is fun with friends!” Again another little speech ensued, and then she left. Throughout this party the others showed up, you know Rarity and Rainbow Dash. I also met someone new, Rainbow Dash introduced me to the youngest of the Apples, Applejack. Sounds like something you would eat, but it is smart to get the Apples to like me since I buy the cider. I know Granny Smith and Big Mac like me, haven’t seen this one yet though. It was horrible, the party finally ended at 1 a.m. I fell asleep at about 1:30 and woke up 6:00 we needed to get there early so we could get cider and finally head home. The only benefit to that party was that the entire town was really tired and asleep so I was the first in line. I let my guards sleep in so I was alone. At about 7:30 the Apples came out and I was able to get the barrels early the price has gone up but I live in the palace so I have plenty of money. Thank Bolas! I finally got away from that town. Ponyville is a nice little town but it is now surrounded by chatty little children that would not leave me alone. Oh great! When I got home with the cider Twilight came running up to me. Apparently she was walking through the palace and accidentally bumped into Blueblood who is a few years older than her. He then yelled at her calling her a clumsy peasant. For some reason Celestia just comforted her but didn’t raise a hand against the little swine. Lucky for Twilight I will. I headed to his room, I dismissed the guards outside his room and walked in. He looked yelling about who would dare to enter his room unannounced. We then began to argue. Here’s how it goes. “What are you doing here human!? Don’t you know it is wrong to barge in on royalty?” “Hah! I am more royalty than you ever will be. Now back to business.” I yelled at him about what he said to Twilight. He argued how commoners like her should never touch royalty and he should have had her put in the dungeon. That was it! “You know what Blueblood I have half a mind to hang you by your intestines for that!” “Don’t talk like that to me filth! I can have you banished for threatening royalty!” “Oh what with the guards? Or Celestia? Think about it, I am respected by the guards I am in charge of them and I am stronger. If you go with Celestia I have known and been her friend for centuries do you think you would be able to get them against me?” That got him he had a spark of doubt in his eyes. He then regained his composure. “Now listen here human, you will not be able to touch me anyway.” He was shaking slightly. “Ok I am done with this!” I then kicked him into the wall. “Let’s see if your blood really is blue!” He began to cry. “Please don’t hurt me I will apologize to her!” So after punching him in the face to give him a black eye we went to find Twilight. He apologized and then ran off.
