“This...is... so degrating...” Byakuya commented, as he was being molested, or rather abused verbally by a certain pink pony, who was asking a bombardment of questions.
“Oh come on, Brother. It’s not that all bad, is it?” Rukia said, as she eats some pastries.
The Cakes are all gawking at the new visitors, who are just like Ichigo, but what they are worrying is that large spiky-headed monster they’re with. He looks more terrifying than Ichigo that they wont even dare to go near the group with him around.
Kenpachi noticed the Cakes are looking at him and gave them some sort of smile, that both of them cringed and ran back to the kitchen. Pinkie on the other hand...is enjoying herself on these new visitors...
Yachiru seems to enjoy this pink pony, while a bunch of ponies outside started to gather around gawking and talking about the creatures inside the Sugar Cube Corner. Ichigo had enough of staring for today, so he went outside the door and made the most horrifying face he could muster and shouted.
“TAKE A PICTURE!!! IT WILL LAST LONGER!!!” He already said that line, but it seems to work anyway...but instead something happened... something that he didn't expect...someone actually took a picture as the flash made Ichigo blind momentarily, long enough not to see who took the picture... He took a stone and threw it, only to hit nothing at all... The pony who took the picture already ran away.
“Ichigo!” Rukia tugs Ichigo back to the shop “Get back here! your scaring the locals...”
“Yeah well they annoy me, okay!” Ichigo protested. He just can’t stand people, or rather ponies staring at them it makes him feel like he’s a monster or something...
Ichigo just grunted at this and looked back to the group...
“So, Ichigo...” Ukitake started. “This is where you’ve been hiding since?” He then looks around observing the entire place... “Kind of girlie for your liking, isn’t it?” Ukitake looks at Ichigo... But Ichigo just grunted again...
“Did I even wished for this?” He said, while looking more irritated.
“Aww, is that a way to talk to your friends?” Pinkie asked, as she pops at Ichigo’s shoulder.
Ichigo got used to this despite her annoyance, she kind of grew over him in just a few hours of his stay here...
“Yeah, well... They aren’t exactly my “Friends”, they're more like sidekicks...” Ichigo claimed. This made Rukia sprays out the chocolate milk she was drinking and started to rant over Ichigo’s remark.
“SIDEKICKS?! Excuuuuse me?!” Rukia shouts, literally near Ichigo’s ear.
“Well, have YOU ever been any help lately?!” Ichigo adds while in a high voice. “I don’t see YOU helping me with anything!”
“What?!” Rukia and Ichigo started to argue, just like what they always do...
Byakuya continued to drink his tea as he lets them argue, Ukitake nudges him a bit which made Byakuya looked at him as he starts to give out questions to him.
“This is suppose to be dangerous, I thought Genryusai told us that this place is dangerous? To my knowledge it's kind of peaceful here, I think Ichigo is doing fine...” Ukitake stated... while glancing at the two arguing in the corner...
“Despite the ridiculously large bear which attacked us earlier, there’s no great threat here...” Byakuya sips some tea, while remaining completely calm.
“Sometimes I wonder how you could stay calm all the time...” Ukitake commented, while laughing a bit on the two arguing...
Toshiro eats cookies and cupcakes wildly, just like a child... Yachiru was staring at him the whole time, making him stop eating for a while... Toshiro swallowed and starts to talk...
“W-what?” He asked Yachiru who was still staring at him...
“You really are a child...” She commented, making Toshiro blush a bit.
Kenpachi stood there eating one cookie at a time while Love just gulps down a mug of cider.
“Damn! Thats some good CIDER!!! You got to try some Kenpachi!” Love proclaims, as he chugs another mug.
Kenpachi just looks at him and keeps eating...
Pinkie was happy to have more visitors in the shop, but they are scaring some of the costumers away... She has to figure out something, before they go bankrupt...
Then...something pops up...
“A PARTY!!!” Pinkie shouts, making all the Soul Reapers stare at her...
“Say what?” Ichigo said first, glancing at Rukia then back at Pinkie.
“Yeah a welcoming party!” Pinkie instated. Not the smartest suggestion but...
“Yeah! A party, I’m in!” Yachiru cheered, as she hops out of her chair.
Ichigo just made a funny face looking like a surprised monkey in a branch, while looking at his fellow brethren being eaten by a tiger.
“Please come back here later...or about an hour...” Pinkie shoves them out and locked the door, she waited for them to leave then opened the shop again for the costumers.
Ichigo walks to town, again the ponies gawk at them...but thankfully he’s not alone...
“So what now?” Kenpachi said, while walking along with them. “I don’t see anything wrong in this... colorful town...”
“Trust me, there’s a lot of screw balls here...” ichigo said while keeping up with the group... Ironically, they saw a pony with a tattoo if a screw ball...
"Fuck..." Ichigo said while staring at that pony as it runs towards an alley along of what it appears to be doctors...
"Yeah, you were right... there are a lot of... "Screw balls" here." Rukia commented, as some of the group started to laugh.
"Shut the fu~" Before he could even cuss, his ears picked up a sound of a familiar voice.
“ICHIGO!” A voice called out from behind...
The voice is quite familiar to Ichigo, he stops and looks behind...only to see a certain purple pony and an energetic orange pony following close behind her.
“Oh, great... their back...” Ichigo mumbles and rolls his eyes, as they come closer to him...
“You know these ponies?” Rukia asked, as she looks over to the two ponies running towards them.
“Lets just say, they’re the ones who took me in when I got here...” Ichigo admits it, yet at the same time, keeps the fact that he turned himself to a pony...
“By the way, Brother here turned to a pony, but we took care of them...” Rukia said, as she almost laughed at that memory again. “Even Renji here...” Ichigo was surprised.
“Really? How did they came back?” Ichigo asked, while trying not to laugh at that train of imagination...
“We gave them a blue potion that Mayuri gave us, which happens to be what we took before going through here...” Rukia explains.
The two ponies finally reached Ichigo, as the purple one was puffing in exhaustion...
“Okay, what is it this time, Twilight?” Ichigo asked, before she can even ask a question herself.
“Twilight?” Renji raised an eyebrow, after hearing her name, “Ha! Next maybe her name is Sparkle or Sparkles!” Renji laughed at this, which Twilight and Ichigo gave a look at him.
“How did you know her last name?” Ichigo asked.
Renji Continued Laughing then stops “you SERIOUS?!” Renji shouts, “Thats her last name?!”
“Have we met?” Twilight asked the confused Renji, wondering how’d he knew her full name.
“Twi, Now’s not the time fer questions.” Applejack said, looking so urgent.
“Why whats the matter?” Ichigo asked, as he looks over Applejack.
“It’s the Princess, she’s looking for you...” Twilight said, looking straight at Ichigo.
“Princess who?” Ichigo asked, but before Twilight could answer, Ukitake spoke.
“So, you have a ruler here?” Ukitake asked the purple one, as she looks over to the other group behind Ichigo.
“Y-your...uhh....” Twilight was lost for words as she sees more like Ichigo in front of her. Applejack tries to continue Twilights sentence.
“What she wus’ about ta say, is yes, we do have a Princess, or a ruler as you might say...” Applejack looks at Twilight, nodding and signaling her that she got this...
“So... Where is this this “Ruler” of yours?” Ukitake asked, who was interested enough to see who leads this land, and all its inhabitants around.
“Actually, she only wants to see Ichigo for now...” Twilight said, nearly choking at the last sentence... because of the joined Spiritual Pressure around her, she can barely talk straight... Ichigo took notice at this and told everyone to stay and look around while he discuss this matter himself...
“Him? Discuss?” Byakuya said, not believing that Ichigo is capable to “discuss” something, not relating to food nor something he's interested in...
“I’ll give you all 1000 yen each, if you expect something bad is going to happen...” Rukia announced.
All of them gave a nod, knowing Ichigo...everything will go to hell when he starts talking...
“Well... lets go for a tour!” Yachiru shouts as all of them agreed... Byakuya was reluctant, but soon agrees to the idea, there wasn't anything to read here at any case.
Applejacks ears perk up.
“A tour?” The orange mare looked back, as she was interested enough to take these creatures for a tour. “Uh... Twi,you go on ahead, I might jus’ gonna have to do somethin’ with them visitors....” Applejack suggested as she heads back to the group.
“Okay...” Twilight escorts her companion to the location where their Princess wants to see Ichigo... but they had to take a train though...
Ichigo starts to wonder, what their Princess will look like? His imagination starts to flow out, as he imagines a white haired old hag, holding a staff and a skull necklace...
This thought gets erased immediately which gave him the chills, he soon works his imagination again, constructing a much more, attractive version, with a blond hair, cute face, and a large set of melons...
This thought made his head explode, shaking it and tries to get rid of that dirty thought...
More or less he will soon find out as they rode a train and went closer to their destination...
