Kill Me Now

31. Talking to Octavia

After about an hour of wubs from Presto, I was ready to get back on and finish up. When everything was said and done we went home. When we got home we found EQ and Octavia talking on the couch, just idle chit chat, nothing important. We were ready to go to bed, it was late and we had been DJing like crazy. So we went straight to my room. We were too tired for sex so we went straight to sleep in each other’s arms.

-----

We all woke up around the same time the next day, first me, then EQ, next was Presto, and last was Vinyl, she was always last. We had enough time to eat before Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, and a new stallion I had never seen before showed up at the door.

“Hello, Twilight. What brings you to our humble abode?”

“I was wondering if you would mind explaining something to a friend of mine, if I tried I would sugarcoat it, and rainbow is obviously biased against him, you’re the only one we know that has a neutral outlook on him.”

“And who is he?”

“Dillon.” Twilights face seemed a bit grim.

“Oh, I see, come in. I will do my best.”

As soon as the new stallion walked into view of the living room he froze, not out of shock or fear, just froze, and stared at the two other stallions in the room, they stared back. He seemed to be in deep thought. None of us could tell what was going through any of their minds, but they seemed to work it out somehow.

“Never thought I’d see you again.” The new stallion knew Presto and EQ?

“Us neither.” And they knew him, too?

Presto got up “Octavia, Vinyl, this is Fixinit, we wandered through the forest together, along with some others, when we finally made it into town we went our separate ways.”

“Twilight, Rainbow, these are Presto and EQ. like Presto said, we traveled together to get here.”

“Presto, you said there were others, who else?” I was worried how much information he had withheld from us.

“Total, there were six of us. If you girls want we can try to find them before we talk about something like what Dillon did.”

“No, this needs to happen.” Twilight wasn’t about to let herself get sidetracked.

“Ok then, but we want to listen in, too, Octavia has asked me about this Dillon character and we have yet to talk about him.” EQ said, not moving from his spot.

“And Vinyl thinks I took his stage name.” Presto added.

“You did!” Vinyl yelled at him.

“No I didn’t, it was a coincidence.” He retorted.

“Sure.” Vinyl was unconvinced.

“Can we get on to the explaining and stop bickering like little foals?” Twilight really didn’t want to get sidetracked.

“Fine.” Vinyl really wanted to put Presto in his place, but to tell the truth, Twilight scared her.

“Ok, Octavia?” she prompted her friend.

“Yes. Dillon was a human that came here, he got in a relationship with Twilight and as ponies have told me, a few weeks ago she allowed him to take her virginity. I won’t go into the details but she really opened up to him, then a little more than two weeks ago he disappeared without any explanation as to where or why. This leaves our little twilight with a broken heart and a weary mind.” As I finished my summary, the ponies in the room stood up to comfort Twilight and leave.

“Now that we have our explanation on who that guy is, can we go?” rainbow dash was the impatient type, always gotta be moving.

“I guess, thanks Octavia, I owe you.”

“No problem, Twilight. Bye now.”

Before he walked away, Fixinit exchanged a glance with Presto and EQ, then he left.

-----

“Well, now that you know who Dillon was, you probably understand why I called you by his name.” I was still a bit embarrassed about this morning.

“Yes, and I don’t blame you. Though I didn’t know the guy personally I'm sure it was uncalled for him to leave like he did.”

“And now you see why I wanna kick his flank.” Rainbow punched the air in front of her.

“Yes, rainbow, I do, but violence solves nothing.” He said it like a wise old stallion.

“Heh, I guess you’re right.” Rainbow was obviously joking but he didn’t care.

“Hey Fixinit, can we go find your travel buddies? I kinda wanna meet them.” I wanted to meet his friends, friends are what bring us together, if you lose them, you lose purpose.

“Sure, if you know where to look.”

“Actually I do,” I scanned him with a spell that would show me the ponies he had recently been around “huh, this is kinda weird.”

“What is it Twilight? What was that?”

“that was a spell that showed the ponies you had recently conversed with, I can go back as far as a year, but it looks like your with 5 other stallions all scattered across Ponyville right now, like your in 6 places at once. Hmmm, I’ll have to take a look at that spell when I get back to the library, my magic might be on the fritz.”

“Yeah, you do that, where does it say that the closest one is?”

“At Rarity’s boutique.”

“Well, I gotta get going, lots of practicing to do for the wonderbolts.” Rainbow flew off in the direction of her house and the two earth-bound ponies went to Rarity’s on foot.

“So why do you think one of you ended up at rarity’s?” I asked a few minutes later.

“well if it’s the pony I'm thinking of, I wouldn’t be surprised that he's there because the building looked better than all of the others or the door mat said ‘loving home’ or something."

“So he’s a bit of a rarity himself, is that right?”

“If that's how she acts.” we both nodded.

We continued to walk until rarity’s boutique was within sight; we walked in and expected a greeting, but not like this.
