Before I get started, let me say this; This story is indefinitely cancelled. The reason being, well theres no use for it, I intertwined it with my other story...However this chapter is what Theta is thinking when he finds Torque(Read the Igniting Hope if ya want to understand)
The day before me, is as usual, moving slower than ever. Turning my head, I quickly glanced over at the clock, and noticed it had only been an hour between when Rainbow Dash had knocked on my door and now. Well, shit...Celestia, can't you move you're day any faster?!?/color] With the shop completely empty, I decide that I might as well close up early and just go back to sleep for a while.
Locking the front door, I made sure to flip the sign as well and close the blinds on the windows. I took a slow walk towards the stairs, and I notice my old team picture sitting on the front desk. Damnit man, thought I'd forget you so soon? Walking up to the counter, I quickly snatch up the picture and place it in my pocket. With that said and done, I continued to the stairs and got back in bed.
*BEEP**BEEP**BEEP**SLAM* Making sure to come down with force, I basically bitch slapped the alarm clock to make it shut up. Just like women... "Oh shit, it's four forty-five! I'm going to be late if I don't hurry my ass now!," Shooting up, I slipped on my shoes and ran out the door.
I bolted straight for Sugar Cube Corner, and within minutes, reached my destination. I opened the door to find the mane six all around, partying their flanks off. "Hey! It's Theta everypony! Over here Theta silly!," Pinkie pie hollered from across the room.
I walked to where they all stood, and was greeted by happy faces and waves. "Sup, dudes."
"Nothin' much Theta, just being awesome!," Rainbow Dash answered right away.
"Ah reckon Ah'm doin mighty fine, Theta!," Apple Jack retorted, noticeably trying to out pride Rainbow.
"Yes, us ladies are all doing positively amazing, Theta dear.," Rarity elegantly replied.
Fluttershy and Twilight just nodded their heads, and went back to business as usual. The rest of the night was pretty crazy...well as crazy as you can get in a small town like this, and when everyone settled down, we all sat at a table. Rainbow Dash, unbeknownst to us all, had spiked the punch with whiskey. "So*hic* So, you girrrrs prohtect Equestriaaa fromm dangirrss?," I asked, slurring heavily.
"We uzee the powhers of frienddidship to stoppped the evile doers!," Twilight replied.
"That's*hic* Thaatts amazingable!"
Apple Jack, whom had been suspicious of the punch, was the most sober of all of us, and decided to get some answers. "So Theta, y'all are new in town...why the big change? Ah mean y'all are from a big city, why move out here?"
"Yeah!*hic* Where are you from! You aren't a spy are you?," RD chimed in, she obviously was handling her booze better than most of us.
"OOHHHH pwease te-tell uzz Theta!," Pinkie Pie yelled out.
I felt cornered, and had been reminded of why I moved out here in the first place;Slim. "Dyyy, um well I wa-wanted to for-for-forget, yeah thatz is forget! my buddyyy whom dieddd years and years and years and yearrrrrrrrrrrz ago!," I slurred, not even registering what I had said.
It took a few seconds, but I finally realized what I had said, and got up without a word. I walked to the door, shouted "GREAT PARTY!" and walked out into the brisk fall night. Shit, I need a smoke...wheres my pack of cigs?Oh yeah, I haven't smoked in years...Hey cool I found a lighter! I reached down to pick up the lighter, and found that it worked, took it and ran to the park to chill out before I head home.
Arriving at the park, I saw a dark figure on my favourite bench, and decided to approach the strange pony. Hey he's got cig's! Maybe he'll spare one...
So yeah, that's where I'm cutting it off. Thanks for reading, check Igniting hope if you want to read on. I know the tenses are fucked up and words aren't spelled correctly...Truth is, it's my last chapter in this story and I'm tired as fuck from working out. So I might fix it up later, might not...anyway peace!
