Sucks. // by Alphadud //------------------------------// Chapter 7: Not really sure what I can name this.... I suck at names. (1/2) Whilst, Church and Roger were talking about memories inside her skull, Rino, Tucker, Wash, whom still is unconscious and Grif were all doing their separate things. Let’s follow Rino around for today eh? ~*^*^*^*^*^~^*^*^*^*^*~ As Rino stalked around another corner in this seemingly endless maze of corridors of a castle, he was thinking of what he would do next. He was contemplating if he should explore more of the castle, or take a walk. Of course he hadn’t seen Roger in a long time, in fact last time he saw her was during the morning and that was eight hours ago. Currently it was sometime around evening. “What to do... What to do.” Rino muttered as he walked down the corridor trying to think of something to do. He slowly approached the guest room which, for some reason was almost empty except Roger who was sleeping in her and Rino’s room. “Hmm...” He mused as he opened the door to the guest room. Then walked inside closing the door gently, he walked over to the table and sat down there. He looked around for a moment before again going back to figuring out what to do. “Bored.” he muttered to himself before taking a glance at the fridge, where all the booze where. He got down from his seat and walked over to it, he opened it and looked through what they had, but for the moment he did not give a crap so he just grabbed a beer before walking over to the counter on his two back hooves, he then opened a random cabinet before searching through it and finding a spare saddle bag. “What the hell is this?” Rino mused to himself as he saw a odd looking back pack. “Looks like a back pack combined with a saddle.” He looked at it for another while before putting it on, he the put down the beer inside the bag along with some potato chips and a few cookies and also a pony comic. Which looked to have aliens in them, but not the sort Rino greeted with a knife to the throat... No this were the ones who ran around with laser pistols that said pew! Instead of a loud noise and next thing you knew was death. He looked around and saw that he left the fridge open, which usually is a bad idea. “Tsk, tsk, tsk.” He mused for himself as he walked over and closed it, he then proceeded to walk back to his and Roger’s room. He gently opened up the door before peaking inside, sure enough Roger was sleeping. He gently opened the door before sneaking inside and tip-hoofing his way over to his helmet which laid on the table in the middle of the room. When he got to the table he put his bag on it before climbing on top of the couch and was going to take a nap. As he laid down, he noticed Roger slightly shifting from side to side in her sleep accompanied by a few small whimpers. He thought about going over there and asking what was wrong, but something told him that he was better off leaving her alone. He gave the clock on the wall a quick glance it said six fifteen. He took a pillow and laid it behind his head before looking up in the roof. “Well, I feel lonely.” Rino muttered before closing his eyes quickly telling himself that he was just going to rest his eyes a few minutes. After what felt like a few minutes again he opened his eyes and noticed that the room was missing most of its natural lighting. He looked at the wall mounted clock albeit with much strain on his eyes, he accessed his zoom and night vision on his cybernetic eye and checked the clock again. Now it said nine thirty. “So much for a few minutes of napping” Rino muttred as he sat up looking around the room, he noticed that Roger was no longer in bed and that the room was closed. He carefully got of the couch and put on his back saddle pack thingy, before grabbing his helmet and putting it on. He tip-hoofed his way to the door before gently opening it and peeking outside. He noticed that this place too was empty, Except Church who was sitting next to his lifeless robot body. Rino did not really care about that and quietly made his way out of his room and out the guest room, before closing the door gently. As he walked away from the guest room he heard Tucker speak with someone. “Look all I’m telling you is that you should at least give it a read before you judge it!” Tucker said from somewhere. “There is no way I’m touching that!” Someone said disgusted. Rino did not pay much attention to the conversation as he walked down the hallway. “Bow chicka bow wow!” Tucker yelled again from somewhere. Rino just groaned and kept walking for a good thirty minutes, thanks to him getting lost a few times. He finally had made his way to the main entrance, as he opened the door and walked outside he saw that the sky was filled with stars, the moon shining and some small clouds. “Well... That looks nice.” Rino said quietly before starting up his HUD and tagging objects of interest. He first turned around and tagged the main entrance, which now glowed a soft green for him, he then walked around the courtyard till he found the stature Discord, he looked at it for a few seconds before tagging it naming the tag ‘Weird statue.’ He then walked over to where he got back his rifle a few days ago. As he weaved through a few bushes and trees a bit way from the castle, but still in its courtyard. He finally found the opening where he had found Tucker, He looked around before finding his tree he slumped against when he first came here. He tagged the tree as ‘Chillax tree.’ He walked over to it and put a hoof against it. When he did he had a small flash back of a spartan holding a pony in her arms. “You should really be nicer.” “Maybe I should...” Rino muttered to himself before leaning against the tree for a few seconds before slumping against it looking at the night sky. He sat there for a few seconds just watching the sky and ever so often his motion tracker. After a few minutes he started up a song called ‘Rameses B - Moonlight.’ As the song slowly started up he could see the stars glitter even more than they used to, as the song then slowly started picking up he felt more relaxed, some might even say chilled down and as the song hit 2:46 lyrics got in. “We go about our daily lives understanding almost nothing of the world. We give little thought of the machinery that generates the sunlight and makes life possible. To the gravity that glues us to the earth that would otherwise send us spinning off into space. Or to the atoms that which we are made... and on who's stability we fundamentally depend. Few of us spend much time wondering why nature is the way it is. Where the cosmos came from. Whether it was always there. If time will one day flow backward. Or whether there are ultimate limits to what humans can know. What is the smallest piece of matter. Why we remember the past and not the future. And why there is a universe.” Rino thought about what the guy said for a minute before trying to shake it off, but the song repeated it self. “And why there is a universe.” This caused Rino to think for a moment, until he saw not only two shooting stars, but also a meteor shower. Fortunately for him, it was in high orbit causing the meteors to burn up when the reached the lower orbit, but still it was probably the most beautiful thing he had ever seen. He sighed deeply before thinking. “What am I doing with my life?” He though shaking his head. What he failed to notice was that his motion tracker had picked up someone moving his way. “Was I that much of a bitch you had to hide from me?” Roger said walking over smiling. Rino a bit startled from her speaking looked over at her, before smiling behind his helmet. “I would never hide from you... Unless you are on you’re period.” Rino said looking at her. “Oh har har.” Roger said waking over and sitting next to him. “Your soooooo funny.” Rino gave out a small chuckle before looking back at the night sky. “I know right... So what brings you out here?” “Just wanted to... You know... Say sorry for being a bitch earlier.” Roger said pushing a bit of dirt with her hoof. Rino looked down at the ground before taking off his helmet. He looked at Roger before saying, “Then you will have to forgive me for being.... Insensitive.” Rino said looking back down at the ground and sighing deeply. “When were you insensitive? You have been nice this whole time!” Roger said nudging him. “Me? Nice?” Rino said before he had a small flashback to when he was on the frontlines. Rino just sat there looking forward quietly, this caused Roger to get worried. “Hey! Rino!... You okay big guy?” Roger said putting a hoof on his shoulder. Rino shook his head as he was snapped out of his daze “Uh, yeah... I’m fine.” Rino lied through a smile. “You sure big guy?” Roger said smirking. “Because I can tell when someone is lying.” Rino swallowed before looking up at he night sky. “Hm... Have you ever felt guilt?” Rino asked a bit curious. Roger just looked away and nodded. “Yeah... All the time.” “Have you ever had someone to call best friend?” Rino asked yet again. “Yes... Once. She was part of my squad and then got transferred.” Roger said simply. “Do you know if she still is alive?” Rino asked once more still looking up at the nightsky. “Last I heard was she went to the front lines... But no... And I don’t think she is.” Roger said sighing a bit. Rino sighed a bit before looking down, “I suppose this can wait actually. I rather just enjoy the night.” he said with a rather uncharacteristically sad voice. “Alright...” Roger said leaning onto Rino’s shoulder. “Oh... And just so you know. We all got battle scars. Some may not be visible, but hell they are there.” Rino was just quiet before looking at the ground for a few seconds he then leaned back and looked at the sky. “It’s beautiful... Don’t you agree?” Rino said professionally dodging the subject. “Yeah... Luna does great work huh?” Roger said looking up as well. Rino just looked at Roger before nuzzling into her. Roger did the same before sighing. “Oh! I am just going to say this now... Church isn’t that bad. Kinda of nice once he ‘gets in your head’.” Rino just looked up with his cybernetic eye as his face was buried in Roger’s chest. “What?” he asked although a bit muffled. “He is just comforting.... Sometimes... Rarely.. Okay it’s a one in a millionth chance. But still he is nice once he is not being a dick.” Roger said resting her head on Rino’s Rino just hugged Roger before muttering, “I don’t want to lose you... I don’t want to lose anyone.” “Oh come on now!” Roger said hugging Rino, or well best she could anyway. “You’re not gonna lose me! Unless we somehow go back and change ourselves back, but to be honest... I am not sure if I want to go back. Yeah it’s fun blowing aliens up, but this place is pretty nice.” What Roger could not see was that Rino had a few stray tears from his right eye. Since well, his cybernetic one does not have any tear ducts. Rino just kept nuzzling Roger as he was feeling a but out of character. Roger took one hoof and gently began to pet Rino’s mane. Then she began to hum a small tune. After a few seconds she began to sing. “I hurt myself today. To see if I still feel. I focus on the pain The only thing that's real. The needle tears a hole. The old familiar sting. Try to kill it all away. But I remember everything.” She gently hummed after that and slowly began to rock Rino back and forth before picking up again. “What have I become, My sweetest friend? Everyone I know goes away. In the end. And you could have it all. My empire of dirt. I will let you down. I will make you hurt.” She hummed again as she stopped and looked to Rino. “Feel any better?” She asked. “A little bit...” Rino said as he hugged Roger tighter. “Okay... Come on. Want to go inside?” Roger cooed. “Ye-.... Yeah.” Rino said letting Roger go and sitting up straight. Roger simply smiled and stooded up before offering a hoof to Rino. Whom accepted gladly, he then got pulled to his feet and stumbled against Roger, who just giggled. “I told you to walk on four legs.” Roger said. Rino just let ouf a huff before kissing Roger quickly. “And I’m wondering why you don’t stop being beautiful.” Rino said smiling “Sorry, it came with this wonderful personality of mine.” Roger said with a mock posh accent. Rino let out a weak ha before coughing some. “You okay? I think you might have stayed out here too long.” Rino tried to awnser but it all came out as more coughs. He then wrote on the ground in some loose dirt ‘It must be a cold.’ “Oh goody. Now I get to dress up in a nurse outfit and tease you until you get better!” Roger said smiling. Of course Rino just went a head and kissed her before letting out a weak ha afterwards. He then got some sort of idea and looked for something. “Oh what are you doing now?” Roger said as she watched him look around. He then patted something on his flank before opening a back that were there, he rummaged around in it before pulling out a bag of cookies and giving it to Roger. He then pulled out a beer, and was going to twist the cap off, before looking at Roger with a questioning glance. “You uh... Want me to take it off?” Roger asked. He shook his head and wrote in the dirt ‘Want to share?’ “Oooh... Sure why not?” Rino proceeded to twist the cap off before taking a swig of it, he almost immediately got his voice back. “Ahh... My throat was dry.” Rino said as he handed over the bottle to Roger. “Thanks.” She took a swig from it before saying. “You know you probably just got me sick right?” “More cuddling for us.” Rino joked with a smile looking Roger and getting lost in her eyes. Roger just smiled and gave him a quick kiss before taking another drink of the beer and hoofing it back. Rino grabbed the beer and took a drink of it before saying, “It’s odd, back in out dimension or whatever, the beer tasted like crap.... Here it tastes like honey with.... Love?” Rino said raising a eyebrow. “Are you trying to be romantic?” Roger said giving him a toothy grin. Rino quietly laughed before saying “Maybe.” With a small smile. “Why?” “I think you may need a bit work.” Roger said before kissing him. “But it’s sweet nonetheless.” Rino took another swig of the beer before holding it out to Roger. “Want the last swig?” Rino said looking at her. “No thanks. I got this if I get thirsty remember?” Roger said pulling a flask out of seemingly nowhere. “I-... I actually forgot about that.” Rino said as he drank the last of the beer before setting down the bottle. “We should come here tomorrow, if we are not sick that is.” Rino said with a smile. “Totally.” Roger agreed while putting the flask away. Then she looked up before sighing and standing up. “If you know what’s good for your personal space... Don’t look up.” Rino just looked at Roger before trying to resist the urge to look up, but miserably failed at it. When he looked up he saw a rainbow colored tail hanging over the edge of the cloud. He just sighes and shudders a bit before Roger walks up next to him and nuzzles his side. “Want me to go up there and get rid of her?” Roger said doing a ‘cute’ face. Rino just nuzzled back before nodding with a smile. “Yes please.” “Okay!” She walks away from Rino before spreading her wings and jumping as her wings flap giving her a hell of a boost upwards. She lands on the cloud with Rainbow peeking over the edge before she just shakes her head and raises her Robotic hoof. It separates into three finger like appendages before Roger grabs Rainbow’s tail and picks her up. “Woah! Hey!” Raibow said as she saw Roger. “Oh... Hehehe.. Nice night?” Roger just deadpans before grinning evilly. Then without waiting for Rainbow to say anything else she begins to spin her in a circle before letting go and watching as she went through a random window of the castle. Then she went to the edge of the cloud and yelled to Rino. “How many points was that!?” Rino stood at thought for a few seconds before yelling “Judging by the distance and the power, I would say ten-point-five out of twelve!” Roger just pouted before saying. “Phooey. So close.” “Don’t be sad! Come down here!” Rino said standing up on his back hooves waving at Roger. Roger just smirked before jumping off and diving at him before opening her wings and wrapping him in a ‘wing-hug’ as she tackled him. “Quick enough for ya?” Roger said with sly tone. Rino just nuzzled her before giving her a heartwarming smile. “I love you.” he said after giving her a kiss. “I love you too.” Roger said before getting up. “Now come on... One of us is going to get more sick as it is if we don’t get inside.” “Alright! Alright! I’m coming!” “BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!” Tucker yelled from guest room, turning around in his sleep. “.... Can I kill him? Please?” Roger said giving him the ‘cute’ face again. Rino looked at Roger before saying. “Ye-...” He said shaking his head. “Why are you so cute?” Rino complained. “Because I can give you the big dog eyes and... “She walked ahead and shook her flank a bit. “And I also got this as a secret weapon.” Rino got his eyes stuck on her flank for a few seconds. “That’s so unfair.” Rino complained as he walked up to her. “I know!” She said happily. “At least I didn’t flash you. I wouldn’t want to have to explain to the guards why you are flopping all over the place... If you get what I mean.” “Ha... Ha..” Rino said sarcastically before walking past Roger, he walked towards the main entrance before forgetting to pick up his helmet. “Oh yeah.” He said as he turned around and fetched it before walking back. ~*^*^*^*^*^~^*^*^*^*^*~ After a short while both Roger and Rino found themselves walking down the moon lit hallway of the castle. Rino of course, was clingy.... A lot more than before, this caused Roger to raise a eyebrow. “What’s up with you today? You’re all... Huggy.” Roger said smirking a bit. Rino just nuzzled in to her neck a bit. “I just realized how much I love you.” Rino said as he had effectively snuggled himself into Roger. Roger just wrapped a wing around his back before a newpaper fell out. “Oh yeah.... Eh she’ll find it later.” Roger said as they continued to walk. Then Roger noticed something very peculiar. “Rino? You’re taller than me... Why am I the one being snuggled?” Rino pulled his head back and looked at Roger. “You... You are smaller than me? … Ha.” he said with little amusement. “Okay be that way!” Roger said mock pouting and pulling her wings away. “No more wing hugs for you.” This caused Rino to fake pout too. “B-But... They were so nice.” he said doing puppy eyes.... Or well as best as he could as he actually have one cybernetic eye. Roger just humphed and pointed her nose up. “Not going to work Rino. That’s my trick.” Roger said smugly. This caused Rino to tackle hug her and tickle her some. “Oh! Stoph! That’s ch-cheating!!” Rino just ignored her pleads and kept tickling her. “I didn’t know that you were this ticklish.” Rino said with a evil grin. “S-stoph!!” Roger yelled out laughing. “Rino I am warning you!” “Or else what?” Rino said as he momentarily stopped tickling her. Roger just panted a moment before looking at him. “One... Your evil.” Rino just held up a hoof to his mouth and faked hurt with a small gasp. “And two... You’re forgetting who has the feathers here.” Rino just tilted his head before remembering that she was a pegasus. He looked at her before he saw her devilish grin. “Oh... Crap.” “Yeah... Big time. You get five seconds.” Roger said getting up slowly. “Ooooone. Twooooooo.” Rino just sprang up like a spring and ran down the corridor.”THREEFOURFIVE HERE I COME BITCH!” Roger yelled as she got up and rocketed after Rino. “Shit...” Rino said a she glanced over his shoulder and saw that Roger was getting closer. “Shitshitshitshitshit!” Roger just began to close in on him before getting right up to his face and yelling. “HEEEEEEEEERES ROGGIE!” Rino of course stopped and tried to turn around and run away, but was held in place by something. Roger had planted her self on his back and was now holding him about one foot off the ground. “Hey Rino? What’s 400 pounds and is about to wet it’s self?” Rino just looked in confusion at Roger or well tried, since she was on his back it was pretty hard to look at her. “No?” He asked in confusion. Roger just let her wings stiffened and let them drop before brushing them against his ribs and whispering. “You...” Roger, even though Rino couldn’t see, was wearing quite the evil grin. Before Rino could say anything, Roger began to mercilessly tickle his ribs and sides with the tips of her feathers. “T-This is so unfair!” Rino managed to say in between laughs. His laughs roared through the hallways since he could not restrain himself to laugh quietly. Roger simply nodded while she continued her feathered assaults. “Finally give up?” Roger asked stopping but keeping her feathers on his sides just in case. Rino was now laying on the ground with Roger on his back, breathing like it was no tomorrow. He gave away a simple but furious nod, to show that he had finally given up. “That’s what I thought.” Roger said getting off Rino. “Now... Are we going to go without anymore interruptions or do I need to tickle some more?” Rino just rolled over on his back and pulled down Roger on top of him. He then proceeded to kiss and nuzzle her. After a few seconds they broke the kiss and Roger sighed. “What am I going to do with you?” Roger said smiling and sounding mock tired. Rino just smiled back before hugging Roger and giving her a kiss on the neck quickly. “Oh I’d say you would want to keep me.” Rino said looking her straight in the eyes. Roger just looked right back before randomly chuckling. Before long she began to laugh like she was crazy, even lost enough breath that her legs gave out and she landed on top of Rino. “Did I say something wrong?” Rino asked as he faked hurt. Roger just laughed for a few more seconds before she was finally able to breath. She was still chucking, but at lest she could talk and breath. “I-it’s just... It’s just that if you told me that I was going to be here!” Roger said rather loudly gesturing to the palace and the world outside. “I would have shot you and laughed like a maniac before blowing something up!” Rino just tilted his head and looked at Roger with a amused smile before gently guiding her off him and getting up before walking away. “Hey! Where you goin’?” Roger asked as she got up still slightly chuckling. Rino just looked quickly over his shoulder before sticking out his tongue at Roger like a child and started to trotted down the hall. With one weird grin on his face too. Roger simply tilted her head before jogging after him. Right as she got up next to him he just stopped causing her to skid right past him. “Heheh.” He quietly laughed for himself before sitting down and smiling at Roger who was sprawled out on the floor. “Rino..... I have said it once and I will say it again... You’re a child.” Roger said huffing a bit before getting back onto her hooves. “You know you love it.” Rino said with a wink before walking up next to her and accidentally bumping his flank into hers. Roger stumbles a bit before giving him a two second glare that just turned into a smile. “When did you become so playful?” Roger said nudging him with her nose. Rino just brought up one hoof to her face and gently pressed her nose. “Boop!” He said as he then brought it to his own chin. He thought about it for a while, before answering. “I’ve know you a short while.... But you are my girlfriend, so I guess I’m just enjoying myself.” Roger looked off for a moment before getting a grin that Rino had seen many times before. Her evil grin. “What are you planing?” Rino said looking at her with a tilted head. Roger just looked straight at him with that still evil grin of hers and just kept like that for a few minutes. “Hello? Ear- Blo-... Um... This planet to Roger! Is a Roger there?” Before Rino could do anything else, Roger grabbed him by the face and kissed him for a good minute before letting go and saying. “TAG!” Then bolted down the hall leaving a small trail of dust. Rino just sat there, dumbfounded, before realizing what just happened. He quickly sprang to his two back hooves and ran on them, surprisingly faster than he was if he tried to run on all fours. He came up on a cross road before looking left and right for Roger. “Oh Roggie! Where are yooou?” Rino said with a grin on his face. Roger how ever was watching from a different angle and with a little help from her little inviso-device. She just quietly lowered herself, so was directly behind him, before tapping him on the shoulder. Rino quickly spun around and grabbed.... “Empty air?” he said as he was confused, he looked around again he was certain that he was holding something but he could not put his hoof down on what. Roger how ever just smirked and bumped his nose with hers before saying. “Peek-a-boo!” And kissing him again. Rino was dumbfounded for a few seconds before kissing back, he then hugged her before whispering a thing in her ear. “Tag, you are it” He whispered before blasting off in a random direction. Roger just plopped onto the ground with a ‘oof’ before turning her active camo off. She just sighed and looked at all the halls. She hummed for a second before tilting one of her ears at the halls. “Nuthin’....” She turned her head towards another hall. “Nothing...” She turned her head to the final hall and heard the faintest clicking of hooves on tile. “Gotcha!” She giddily flared her wings before rocketing towards the noise. Wash was just enjoying a late midnight walk, since he had been out cold for most of the day, he first had to get comfy with his body as he woke up... But that passed rather quickly, then he was all alone in the infirmary. He looked around before he had sneaked out and took a walk in the corridors, which seemed endlessly long. As he was walking down this corridor all alone he passed some guards that just nodded at him before continuing on their patrol. Wash let out a somewhat sad sigh, mainly cause he felt alone. Which sucks tremendously. After a short while he heard some flapping of wings, and something that was approaching his position quite quickly. Thank god for motion trackers. “What the he-” Before he could continue his sentence, something soft and heavy smashed into his side, latching onto him, and sending them both tumbling down the halls. “HA GOT YA!.... Wait Rino why are you wearing Wash’s armor? More importantly why did you strip him?” The pony said. “That’s because I’m Wash? No one has striped any one of armor.” Wash from his lying position on the ground not far from Roger. “Oh.... Wait aren’t you supposed to be in the medical area?” Roger said getting up and trotting over. “Uh... No, I’m fine.” Wash said as he was trying to get up but a headache was stopping him. Roger just sighed and lowered her head to him. She noticed Wash’s curious... Well visor and sighed again. “Grab my neck and I will help you up.” Roger deadpanned. Wash looked at her before sighing in defeat. “Fine.” He muttered as he put a hoof around her neck. Roger giggled at his reaction and lifted him up back onto his hooves.. “I didn’t break anything did I? Other than your pride?” Roger said giggling again. Wash just sighed again and shook his head. “Damn it.” he muttered under his breath. He then looked at Roger who was looking rather... Playful... “What’s up with you?” “What do you mean?” Roger said smiling and nudging his mask with her nose.. Wash sighed again before saying. “You are much more playful than I remember.” Wash stated. “Oh that... Me and Rino are playing tag!” Roger replied smiling wide. “Want to join in?” “Tag? Really?” Wash said with a raised eyebrow behind his visor. “Why are you playing such childish games?” “Well.... Because.” Roger said lifting her hoof. “TAG!” She suddenly bopped wash on his mask’s nose and ran down the hall smiling. Wash just stared at her... Not at her flank you cloppers, he was staring at her. He stared for a few second before saying. “Oh..... It is on!” Wash said as he bolted down down the hallway after Roger. Roger ran down the halls as she saw Wash skid around the corner after her. “You won’t catch me slowpoke!” Roger taunted as she lifted into the air with her wings and sped up a bit. “Cheating! That’s so much cheating!” Wash said as he ran after her. “Nooooo... This is cheating!” Roger said as she sped around a corner. Wash followed, but as he turned the corner she was just gone and his motion tracker could not pick her up. He stood there looking before seeing some flickering air move around. “I’ve got you now!” Wash said as he ran towards it. Roger just lowered the settings on her Active Camo so that she was a very faded Roger running around still smiling like a crazy person. She would have gotten away, but.... She crashed into the other pony playing, sending them both down the hall a bit. “Oh hey Rino!” Roger said as she look down at Rino. “Wash is it by the way.” Rino just looked at Roger who was smilingh sheepishly. He raised a eyebrow before seeing a Grey pony come running down the hall. Rino quickly grabbed the sides of Roger and held her down. “Hey Wash! Over here!” he yelled to Wash who just ran quicker. “Hey! What are you doing!?” Roger said as she flailed a bit. “Just holding you down....” Rino said with a evil smile. “Don’t worry about it.” “You traitor!” Roger said flailing even more now. “When I get away from you!” Before she could say more she felt Rino let go and scramble away, then she felt a hoof connect with her side before running away. “TAG! You are it!” Wash yelled as he turned a corner with Rino. “RINO YOU TRAITOROUS BASTARD!” Roger yelled before launching herself down the halls again after the grey armored pony and his partner in crime. “GET OVER HERE!!” “High five Wash!” Rino said as they had hidden in a supply closet for a moment to catch their breath, they saw that Roger sped past the closet and held their breath a while before high fiving each other.... Or well High hoofing. “That was close.... We should split up....” Wash silently said to Rino who just nodded in response. Before they could leave they saw a set of hooves’ shadow under the door. “Shit...” both Rino and Wash said extremely quietly. Before the hooves left they heard Roger humming a certain tune. “Twinkle twinkle little star... How I wonder what you are?” Roger said taking a step closer and putting a hoof against the door. “Up above the world so high.” She tapped her hoof against the door before getting back onto all fours and walking away. “Like a diamond in the sky.... Twinkle twinkle little s-” Her voice stopped after the sound of hooves walking away was heard. Both Rino’s and Wash’s hearts was beating so fast they could have sworn that you could hear it through the door. Rino carefully opened the door and peeked out and saw that no one was there, he gave a quick nod to Wash before saying. “Next time we meet... We meet as enemies.” He said before quietly chuckling with Wash. Then they heard Roger’s humming again. “Move!” he hissed as they split up and ran different directions. Roger trotted down the halls still humming that old, old, old nursery rhyme and was watching every detail of the hallway. Roger just sighed in frustration. “Okay... Let’s go.. THIS WAY!” She continued to run down the hall for a few minutes muttering curses every time she came up empty. She searched around until she saw a certain ghostly figure walking around. He apparently was scaring of guards, and laughing to himself. Roger, in her moment of childishism, ran up to him and smiled widely before saying. “HEY CHURCH!” She yelled with her tail wagging sporadically. Church jumped a bit before looking at Roger with a raised eyebrow. “Hi... Roger...” He said a bit confused why she was so happy. “Want to help me play Tag!?” She asked smiling even wider. Church stared at her in confusion. “Isn’t tag a one man game?” Church asked crouching down to get to her eye level. Roger just sat on her rump and shook her head. “Nope! It’s a multi-person game! As many players as you want!” Roger said still smiling and tail wagging. “Uh...” Church hummed as he looked around. “Ah, what the hell? I have nothing better to do.” “Yay!” Roger said jumping up and down. Then she stopped before placing a hoof on her chin. “Wait a minute.... How are you going to play? You have no body.” “I’ll just plant myself inside your head and when you need some one found near you, I can reappear a bit smaller and run around looking for them.” Church explained. Roger just stared at him for a second before chuckling. “No offense... But that has to be the smartest thing you have ever said.” Roger said giggling. “I have not been doing anything productive the whole day so my bra-.... Hea-.... Whatever you want to call it, is at full capacity.” Church said before looking at her wagging tail. “You are really happy aren’t you?” “I haven’t had this much fun in years!” Roger said as she bounced in place for a moment. “Now come on my little sprite! Let’s go! Hop in my head already!” “You got it.” Church said as he put a hand on her head and seemingly got sucked in to her since his body just disappeared from the bottom and top till it reached his fingers. ‘I’m in.’’ Church said from inside her head. “Well what are you waiting for? Do your little mini you thing! I want to see this!” Roger said as she began to trot down the halls. All of a sudden there was a small blue light emitting from the right side of her face. It was close to the face, but not directly on top. As she looked to the right she saw a small spartan walking next to her face in the air. “Okay... Now you have officially gone up on my Bad ass chart, Church.” Roger said picking her pace up a bit. Church just chuckled and ran next to her before motioning her to stop, he looked at a wall before running straight at it and through it. After a few seconds he came out again. “Wash is hiding in there.” Church said pointing at the wall. Roger looked at it then pulled a grenade out. “Woah. Really?” Church said with a small chuckle. “Oh fine...” Roger said pouting and putting the grenade away. “Hmmm.... Well. Time to be a ghost!” Then she remembered Church. “Oh... Um.. Imitation ghost!” She gave him a nervous chuckle. Church just shook his head and disappeared, he then said something from inside her head. ‘You are lucky I didn’t take that offensively.’ “Sorry.” Roger said before actiavating her Camo and running down the halls. She turned the corner and saw the door to the room Wash was in. “Church... Scare or give him some type of warning?” ‘I’d love to see him wet himself, I need a good laugh.... Oh and don’t give him a warning.... He seems on edge already, lucky he didn’t spot me.’ Church said from inside her head. Roger snickered and quietly, but quickly, opened and entered the room. She looked around for a moment until she saw a blond tail under the bed. Grinning evilly, she slowly began to step up up him. Then slowly she reached down and gently grabbed Wash’s tail in her teeth. ‘Church... One snide remark and I am ejecting you.’ ‘.... You know how bad this looks?’ Church said shuddering. ‘Yes. And if you say anything I will give you a picture of Rino’s private area.’ ‘I’d rather not see that. Shutting up.’ Church said before he became completely quiet. Roger just smiled before roughly pulling Wash out and screaming. “YOU’RE IT BITCH!!!” This of course nearly made Wash shit himself.He first of all screamed more or less like a girl for a few seconds before, he pretended to get a heart attack and since Roger didn’t know any better, she actually thought she had given him one... “Well..... Did I over do it?” Roger said scratching her head. She walked over and poked his hoof. “Wash?” Then she poked his hoof again. “Wash?.....” Then she just began to poke him repeatedly. “Wash? Wash? Wash? Wash? Wash? Wash? Wash?” Roger kept saying as she poked Washington. Church just appeared at Wash’s side before Roger started to panic. “Oh I really killed him didn’t I? OH RINO IS GONNA BE MAD!” “Cal-” Church tried to say before Roger bursted out again with a small paniced rant. “HowamIgonnaexplainthisIallweweredoingisplayingtagandthenIbegantosneakuponhim andthenIgrabbedhistailan-” Roger ranted. Church put his hand on Wash armor and picked up that his heart was still beating. “Look hes st-” He tried to say before Wash sprung to life and tagged Roger back before running out of the room. “HAHA YOU ARE IT!” “That........ Genius” Roger said slumping a bit. Church looked at Roger for a bit before thinking. “How about we even the game a bit? Let’s go wake up Tucker.” Church said looking at her. “You know as well as I do that he isn’t gonna get up... How do y-......” She slowly looked to Church before glaring. “No... No way.” “Oh come on! It will be fun!” Church said. “I am not getting groped by that creep!” Roger said shuddering. “Look, just get me into his room and I’ll wake him up.... With a major head ache.” Church said. “No then he will just be grumpy and make more smartass remarks.... Wait.. I think I have found a happy medium!” Roger said hopping up. “But I am still not going to like it. Come on! Let’s go!” “Okay...” Church said as he vanished again. ‘So where are we going?’ “To Tucker... But I am going to give him the teasing of his life!” Roger said grinning evilly as she ran down the halls. Before she heard something getting pressed from inside her head. ‘Recording is on and.... Oh hey Roger, I didn’t know that you were standing there.’ Church tried to miss lead her with some nonsense. “Church.... Dirty pictures of Rino.” Roger threatened as they neared the guest room. Church just sighed and pressed a few other buttons. ‘Fine.’ Roger walked in and headed to the room with Tucker in it and gently opened the door. She trotted in and saw Donut in his armor again only sleeping on the couch instead of the bed, which Tucker had practically claimed the bed. Roger just walked over and gently nudged his hand. “O~h Tuuuuucker!” Roger gently said in her best sultry voice. ‘Okay, this is going to go bad really fast...’ “Ugh... What? Go away Donut.” Tucker said as he was trying to sleep. “Oh... Is that what I get for finally coming to the right guy?” Roger said playfully again nudging his hand. Tucker’s hand went up to Roger’s face for a few second before Tucker stirred a bit. “Roger... What brings a fine lady like you to my bed?” Tucker said with a suggestive tone. ‘Church? your in my head right? Try and lower my aggression so I DON’T kill him kay?’ Roger thought. ‘I’ll do what I can, no promises!’ Church responded in her head. “Well... I couldn’t find Rino... So I went with the next best thing.” Roger said talking a few steps back to try and lure him out. ‘Jesus! Keep the guilt feelings in check Roger!’ Church said in her thoughts. ‘They are all over the place!’ ‘You try and say that to your next g-... Nevermind. Low blow... So sorry.’ Roger thought. Church was just quiet for a few seconds before saying something to her. ‘Might want to focus... I’m pretty sure that he’s just about to-’ Church said before Roger felt some thing press against her lips. Roger’s eyes widened before she pushed Tucker off and walked to the door slowly. These were her current thoughts. ‘I am gonna kill him.... He is going to die.... And It will be by my hooves.’ And ‘OHGODOHGODITTASTEDLIKELIKESWEATANDBEEROHGODOHGOD’ ‘And that’s why you don’t get en engrossed in your thoughts’ Church said a bit grossed out. ‘At least I feel some sympathy... I also felt how it was to get kissed by Tucker a few seconds ago.’ before Roger got to the door she felt something grab her by the stomach and pull her back. “Where are you going, baby?” Tucker asked quietly draging her back. ‘To get away from you in hopes I don’t murder you.’ Roger thought as she fidgeted a bit. “Just to get.... Um... Ready?” Roger said almost questioningly. Of course a few seconds later she was lifted up on to the bed. She felt a hand run after the length of her spine. “Who needs to get ready when the love doctor is right here?” Tucker asked with a suggestive voice. She felt that the hands were moving closer and closer to her rump and Church of course was scrambling around in her head trying to calm her down. ‘I’m going to kill him Church.’ Roger thought hastily. As she moved away a bit. ‘No need to jump to conclusions!’ Church said back. ‘Let’s just run away! It seems most logical.’ ‘I claim all the rights to hit his groin if he tries to stop me.’ Roger stated as she looked to the exit. Roger slowly moved away from Tucker’s hands before moving to the edge of the bed. ‘You know.... Tucker is out of his armor completely.’ Church whispered as again she felt hands pick her up. ‘THINKING FAST.’ Roger thought before putting a hoof on Tucker’s shoulder. “Hey Tuck wait!” Roger said. “What is it?” Tucker asked. Roger just silently gulped and shuddered. ‘Church you tell this to anyone... And I am going to make sure to program your body to do the splits with every step.’ “It’s just... I... Want to be on top.” Roger forced out. Church was quiet a while before starting to laugh, probably so loud that you could hear it from outside her skull. ‘That.... That! It was gold! I managed to record it too!’ Church laughed at Roger. Roger stared off before thinking of a very intimate thing. ‘Suck on that blue boy.’ Roger thought as she called the dirty images to mind. ‘And delete that stupid recording!!’ She then heard lots of gaging noises coming from Church. ‘Gonna get rid of that recording or do I need to show something even worse?’ ‘It was a joke! Oh go-!’ Church said covering his eyes. ‘Going to be good now?’ Roger thought as she felt herself get put down by Tucker. ‘Yes Ma’am.’ ‘Good Church. Want the memory of a beer to help with those memories?’ Roger teased. Church just tapped the floor twice. ‘Focus that guy is close to doing something again.’ Church said being all serious. ‘Church you area witness, if anything gets put in front of my face I am biting it off.’ ‘Oh like you mean like his c-’ ‘You want to see that huh?’ Roger thought as she hopped off the bed and bolted for the door. You could almost hear the words ‘NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE’ as she ran away and out the door. ‘That was like two seconds.... from the bed to the door, you work out or something?’ Church asked from inside her head. ‘Have you seen my ass? Of course I work out!’ Roger thought as she was jogging towards the door to the hall. ‘Dat a-’ Church began. ‘Church.... I already showed what Rino has. Want me to show you what he does with it?’ Roger threatened again as she practically ripped the door off and ran out. ‘Why not go wake up the girls..... Do something and make them all chase you before tagging one of them.’ ‘But Church. That would en.... Oh yes.’ Roger’s face adorned the most evil grin she has ever done. “I am going to get my revenge on both of them.” Roger said turning back towards the room. ‘What you thought I suggested that you had sex with them? Not that I mind of course’ Church said with a amused voice. ‘Oh no. But a certain pony and a certain person are going to be able to do so!’ Roger thought as she walked back in and went straight to a room with a rainbow colored lighting bolt emblem on it. Then slowly she opened the door and walked into Rainbow Dash’s room before going to her bed and smiling evilly. ‘What are you planing?’ Church said as he tilted his head, in her head. Roger just grinned evilly before gently grabbing Rainbow and putting her on her back. Then she walked over to Tucker’s room. Opening his door quietly, she walked in and ran to the bed before putting Rainbow next to Tucker and bolting out. She quickly left the room and shut the door as quickly, but quietly, as she could. “Now to wake the others up.” Roger said smirking. Church appeared by her side before asking. “And how are you planing that?” “Simple.” Roger said shrugging. She walked over to a door and pulled out a small grenade. “Smoke’em out!” She grinned before pulling the pin and tossing one smoke grenade in each room. “Clever girl.” Church said as he just vanished. “Thank you!” Roger said before hearing clattering from each door. “Time to run! Wings don’t fail me now!” ‘Alright... What are you planing?’ Church asked. “Running like a maniac until I find Rino.” Roger said plainly before bolting over to the door. ‘Sounds like a plan.’ “Look... If your girlfriend was getting chased by six different women wouldn’t you come running?” Roger said as she opened the door. ‘Uh... Hard question.’ Church said. “BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!” Tucker yelled from his room. ‘How the fuck?’ Church asked himself. “I stopped listening after b.” Roger said as she ran out of the room followed by five angry mares. Excluding Rainbow Dash who was stuck in the arms of Tucker.
