Travis was still asleep and dreaming of something that for rating reasons I cannot publish but it was an enjoyable dream for Travis I’ll say that... until pinkie pie woke Travis up.
“Morning sleepy head." said an oddly excited pinkie pie.
“Ohh what the.... damnit! So this isn't a dream is it?" said a slightly annoyed Travis.
“nope it's not a dream and I want to make a bet with you Mr Travis." and Travis said “what’s the bet?"
“If I can beat you in a fight, can I have your sword thingy?"
Travis almost exploded from laughing. “YOU!? BEAT ME?! AHAHAHAHA. I could beat you without out my beam katana."
"So is it a bet?" and with that Travis nodded with a massive grin on his face.
They took 20 paces away from each other and were about to start. “are you sure you want to fight pinkie pie?"
"I’m sure." and with that pinkie pie started bouncing at Travis. “Are you fucking serious. Ahh well an easy win is an easy..."
Before Travis could finish his sentence, pinkie pie started to move at blinding speeds towards Travis.
"wait what the..." and pinkie delivered a sonic rainboom uppercut to travisis stomach, sending him at least 20 feet in the air then pinkie pie bounced into the air and then flaming punched Travis into the ground, sending him into the land of dreams.
Pinkie pie wins, flawless victory, ponyality!
He awoke to pinkie pie starring directly at him. “Wow you’re a lot tougher then I thought you would be." said pinkie pie in a happy voice. “Pinkie pie I have one thing to say to you!" said Travis in an angry voice. “You have got to teach me that sometime!" and this lead pinkie pie with a confused face.
“Wait what?! I beat you and won your beam katana thingy and you want to learn from me?"
“Yeah of course. That was the most fun I’ve had in years. Finally a worthy opponent that can topple the crownless king!"
" well your tougher then the last guy that was here, what's his name ezio or something I dunno but I have his cool hidden blade thing and some guy how called himself ragna a look I got his sword."
"What are you anyway? You can beat the shit out of me and a bunch of other poor souls so what are you?"
“I am a keeper of the 4th wall. I can see all the people how are watching us at home. I also decide how a life here and how doesn’t and you'll be living here for a while. So shall we head to pony vile?
Travis basically had no choice because 1) he didn't know were anything was and 2) pinkie pie might uppercut him again but that was unlikely but still the idea made him worry so he said yes.
The journey took about an hour or so and when they got there, the reactions to Travis were a bit unfair.
For one he got a lot curious looks and not the good kind but that was his fault though. he still had his shades on so it made him look kind of dangerous and his cutis mark being a blood covered sword didn't help a lot ether but Travis was already used to this kind of attention in Santa destroy so it didn't bother him.
They entered the shop and pinkie pie asked Travis if he wanted a rainbow muffin. Travis nodded and pinkie pie went to make the said muffin but obviously muffins take a while to make so while pinkie pie makes these cupcakes we shall enter a time lapse.
10 seconds later... what? I didn't say it was a long one now did I?
A cupcake was handed to Travis how then ate cupcake and he went fairly hyper and happy.
“Hey pinkie do you mind if I ask but why are these cupcakes called rainbow cupcakes anyway?"
“They make you burp rainbows."
“Really? Let’s see then." Travis burped and released a rainbow from his mouth." how the heck?"
“oh simple I just gathered some rainbow sauce and put it in the muffin mix that's all."
"Huh. Well there nice. Say pinkie pie is there any clubs around here were I can get a drink?"
“There’s vinal's club, the DJ SMACK. I can take you there when it's open."
“That’d be nice. But if you drug me I swear I’ll do something."
"Ahh come on. I promise I won't drug you tonight." and with that they went off to the club.
On the way, a purple unicorn came over to talk to pinkie pie.
“TWILIGHT!" pinkie pie hugged her friend tightly.
“Hi pinkie pie. I was heading over to the club like we agreed on but it looks like you’re on a date with..."
“Names Travis touchdown. I’m not on a date with pinkie pie, I’m just going to the club with her that's all."
“Well I’m going as well so how about we go together?" said twilight.
“That’s brilliant! Let’s go have a party!" said pinkie pie while bouncing like a mad person.
They entered the club to find it was alive with quite a few ponies’ dancing to the beat that sounded strangely similar to Travis.
“I know this song. It’s called philistine right?"
"Yep a do-do. How did you know?"
“I was taught it by a friend of mine called Margret. And by friend I mean someone I thought against."
“Well however sung song is pretty good." said twilight. “I’m going to get a drink first though before I start dancing."
“Sounds like a plan." said Travis but pinkie pie simply leapt into the flow of the beat and started dancing.
Twilight and Travis sat by the bar and ordered 2 nightmare surprises. They drank the drinks in one go and started to have a bit of chit-chat.
“Hay twilight, are you and pinkie pie sisters or something?"
"WHAT?! Why would you think that?"
“You seem really close that's all."
“Well were just friends that's all. Kind of weird you would think that though. Don’t you have a bro or something?"
“Yeah I got a bro alright, Mr Sir Henry mother fucker."
“a bit harsh don't you think?"
“No not really. I mean he did try to kill me, so were not the tightest of bro's as you can see but were friend's I guess."
there was a bit of silence for a while but after a while and about 5 more drinks, twilight was dancing now but Travis was still drinking a his drinks. He didn't want to dance or to party. He felt kinda alone without his usual friends around him but still he had to make do.
After a while, Travis saw 3 ponies leading twilight out of the bar. They weren’t normal ponies that was for sure. Travis could tell a thug from 50 paces so he followed them.
The three thugs led twilight into a alley way. They were threating her with a knife to her throat.
"BACK OFF!" said Travis.
“Ahh shut up you little shit. Alf and Fred take care of him." the larger of the 2 charged at Travis in which he flipped the charging pony onto his back and then proceeded to kick him in the nuts. The second one got up close to Travis so he punched him in the face and smashed him against a wall, which lead crack in the wall.
The pony that had a knife to twilight throat had run off.
Travis picked up twilight and carried her to a hospital but he didn't know where that was so he brought twilight back to pinkie pie's house. She dropped the unicorn on the sofa and went back to the club to get pinkie pie.
On the way he bumped into a cross eyed Pegasus. “Sorry mister. Why are you in a hurry?"
“Look I need to get pinkie pie so I can get twilight to the hospital. Do you know where it is?"
“Well sure. I’ll lead the way, you just get twilight and I’ll lead you there." Travis nodded and went back to pinkie pie's to get twilight and then went back to the cross eyed Pegasus how then lead the way to the hospital.
Despite carrying twilight, Travis was still moving at the same speed but he was partly tipsy from the drinks. The journey took a while but they finally made it. The doctor's took twilight for examination. Travis stayed to hear the news. Travis was not a man of loyalty but he had learned that at any time in life a friend can go away forever and even if twilight didn't consider them friends, he wasn't going to let a friend of pinkie pie's get hurt. He felt he had to do this.
After about 30 minutes twilight came out of the infirmary with the doctors.
“There was no physical injury to twilight sir. She’s a bit tipsy and possible scared from the whole experience but she will be fine. Take her home for now and call back tomorrow if she's having any problems."
“Thanks doc" said Travis as he lead twilight home back to her house.
After about 10 minutes, twilight was back at her house still tipsy and such. She went to bed and Travis headed back to pinkie's pie's house to rest until tomorrow.
(Authers notes: the next chapter will focus on a much different character and all of this will lead to something, I promise.)
