------Eclipse (9:04 AM) -----
Thank god she thought it was my hand… Even though that was awkward anyway, what with me “Poking” her in the flank. I still had to put her down. It was definitely not one of my more…Clever moments.
“Eclipse I gotta say this has been a lot of fun, but I gotta go and manage the store.” Mist stood, removing her head from my leg in the process, I immediately lifted fluttershy, who giggled as I did so, and placed her on the floor, standing up myself. She stretched and yawned before nuzzling my leg.
“I’m glad your home eclipse… But next time I’m sleeping… can you not poke my cutie mark…? I mean, if you don’t mind...” I can get away with this...
“Yea, sorry, I uh… Wanted to know what they felt like.” She smiled at me before gathering her picnic stuff. I helped her pack up, by the time I was done mist was already gone.
“Umm… Thanks for, ya know… Not being hurt anymore.” I just laughed and gave fluttershy a quick hug before sending her back to her cottage. I hadn’t realized before, but she looked exhausted. I mean, she looked like she hadn’t slept in days. It was… Scary, actually. But I ignored my own feelings long enough to start heading for my house, after arriving I promptly retrieved my “OH god rarity is going to kill me” Clothes, and removed my “Pony” potion from the pocket, I just put it next to my necklace. No reason for either right now.
After arriving at rarity’s, I tried to enter silently again, much harder to do when you can only use one hand… The bell rang; Rarity came over and started to greet me, before seeing the clothes draped over my arm.
“Oh my! What in Celestia’s name did you do to my beautiful clothing?” She cares more about the clothing then me!
She levitated the suit off my arm spreading them out so she could see the extent of the damage.
“Oh… Eclipse! The only pieces of this that are salvageable are the pants!” Okay…
“I’m sorry rarity, I didn’t MEAN to get… You know, attacked.” She softened after I said that and laid the cloths on the couch. Then she walked over to me and placed her fore hooves on my chest. So I lifted her. I just held her in silence a moment.
“You’re stupid Eclipse… Don’t ever go off like that and scare me again…” well at least she didn’t JUST call me an idiot.
“I know rarity, I’m sorry. I tried to come by yesterday, but apparently you’ve been crying yourself to sleep and working nonstop.” She lifted her head from my shoulder and stared.
“Who told you…Oh, sweetie belle? Right.” She laid back down and just shook her head.
“I worry about you eclipse… I know we don’t spend much time together… But you’re like a brother to me, and I don’t want anything to happen.” AHA! She thinks of me as family as well! I’m not the only one!
“I know, which is why I’m going to commission your fashionista skills to make me some armor.” She shot up and pushed herself off my chest, falling the few feet she landed and stared at me.
“You ARE NOT going back into those woods eclipse!” All I could do is give her a sad smile as she tried burning me with her gaze… If looks could kill.
“I am going back in rarity. I hate to do this to you, but it’s either with the armor I’m asking for, or in my regular clothes. Be and I have a job, and now I have something that I can do that doesn’t make me useless. The woods around here are dense, heavily populated with all sorts of creatures. We need to thin them out.” She sat and stared at me. Her anger turning to fear, then to sorrow. I waited until she stopped.
“Eclipse… I’ll make you your stupid armor… And ill fix your clothes… But if you die out there! I SWEAR on my name I will find you!” I just laughed.
“That’s the same thing Applejack said when I told her.” She shook her head as she picked up the clothes.
“I would like to be alone eclipse… Thank you for coming and telling me you’re all right.” Well! That’s one more gone. Fuck, May as well just line them up like dominoes! Oh, Pinkie pie… I didn’t even think of her… shit now I feel bad! I forgot pinkie!
I left the store and headed for sugar cube corner. Rarity most likely needed some time, so I will give her time. Wonder what she will do, Metal plates? Maybe some weird magic enchanted cloth? I’m actually excited. Will I get like, awesome plate armor!? She’s not a black smith… Man. Dammit. No, that’s good. Scouts are supposed to be light on their feet… Feet? Can I manipulate my feet too? Can I manipulate other things? Maybe, can I change stuff? I don’t know…
“Why is this so hard to figure out…?”
“Cuz you’re doing it wrong silly!” I smiled as the pink party pony jumped into my view.
“Hi pinkie…” She just smiled and jumped onto me giving me a hug. I held her up; she was surprisingly light considering how much she ate...
“Hi eclipse! Now don’t go be a dummy head anymore! You scared everypony! That’s just not nice!” I laughed and set her down as she beamed at me.
“Can’t promise I won’t be a dummy-head anymore, But I can promise to be more careful is that okay?” She pretended to think about it.
“Okay! That’s not a bad deal! OH! But I gotta go right now! I’m throwing pokey pierce a party! He likes lots of balloons!” She giggled to herself as she bounded away from me… bounded… DAMMIT I forgot to ask how she breaks physics again! I sighed to myself as I turned from the corner and headed back to twilights. I arrived in decent time. But I couldn’t bring myself to go inside. There was one pony I really needed to apologize to.
I started walking to rainbows house. I needed to make sure she was alright. I needed to make sure she was safe. Even if she hates me. I need confirmation.
-----Rainbow dash (10:01 AM) -----
A banging resounded through my cloud house as a familiar voice sounded throughout “Rainbow… please come out! I need to talk to you about your recent performance as weather pony!” Silent storm, my boss… He always had this posh attitude. Always smug acting like he is better than everypony else. I HATED him. He never left his house in Cloudsdale. EVER. Unless of course he was asking for a “Good time” from one of his female employees or in my case, berating them.
“I’m not feeling too good boss *Cough cough* Can you come back tomorrow?” I plopped back down on my bed. I didn’t want to go anywhere. I don’t care. One of my best friends hates me. All because I loved him…
“Rainbow! You up there hun?” Is that Eclipse? Nononono! I shot up and went into the bathroom near me instantly fixing my mane and styling my feathers.
“Ah, I’m sorry mister…Eclipse? Was it?”
“Yea… that’s my name. Is rainbow up there? You her colt friend?” Me and storm!? EW!
“Uh, no sir. I am her boss! However sir, I must ask that you leave. This is business between her and I.” Oh great.
“That’s good, Stop calling me sir then, otherwise I’m gonna call you a meat Popsicle! You irritate me! And I’m not leaving until I talk to her.” OHMYGOSH Eclipse is threatening my boss!?
I quickly finished getting the last of the knots out of my hair and waited.
“I’m sorry sir, did you just threaten me?” OHMYGOSH…
“Damn straight I did. And I’ll do it again.” Please stop eclipse! PLEASE stop!
“You are certainly vulgar. I don’t believe I have any reason to bother with you. Besides, you can’t threaten me. I am a Pegasus! You don’t even have wings! How do you intend to reach me?” Oh no… He’s edging on eclipse… How would eclipse reach him?
I stepped closer to the door and edged it open. Storm was leaning over the far edge while eclipse and him shouted at each other.
“Listen whatever the hell your name is, I’m not in the best of moods right now, and you are seriously pissing me off, I’m giving you two choices! One! Fly away. Two! Let me talk to rainbow!” Storm started hovering over the edge
“I don’t believe you have any right to threaten me, Rainbow dash is MY employee, I will neither leave nor allow you to talk to her until I have had MY chance!” Please oh my gosh...
-----Eclipse (10:06 AM) -----
NEVER before have I wanted to kill a pony. But this… THING Infuriated me! He’s so god damn better than every pony else?! Fine.
I looked up at him. He had a white coat and a grey mane. His cutie mark was that of a thunder cloud. And everything about him screamed “PRICK” I guess if he’s not gonna let me see rainbow… Let’s see if lightning jumps.
