-----Twilight (8:00 Am) ------
I was sitting on the balcony of the library, with a set of binoculars and a note pad. I couldn’t see into eclipses room, but I could see the living room fairly well from where I was. It looked like Moon mist was waking up everypony. That’s odd. But okay. Let’s see… There’s thorn…Bulls eye, they make out… Okay…There’s light… Gosh that boy is adorable. Where is Eclipse though? It’s impossible to study him if I can’t see him! Even with all those silly windows!
“Ohhh where is eclipse! I need to see him doing something! Anything!” I stared ever more intently.
A good half hour passed. The kids were leaving; brew was nowhere to be found. Shame, I liked her. Bulls-eye headed to the farm, thorn into town…Where is he…
“So, have I done anything interesting yet?” I laughed.
“Hardly! You’re not even in the house!” Wait…
“Yea, I left early to fill out some paperwork, then I was going to come over here and kick it with you maybe learn some magic. But then I noticed you spying on my house. SO I figured I would come hang out.” I dropped the binoculars to find eclipse sitting cross-legged right next to me. For somepony so tall, he had no issues getting around did he?
“I…Uh… I didn’t mean to... I mean I wasn’t… Oh…” He laughed as I lowered my head.
“You think it’s an issue? It’s not, and anything you need to ask Twi, just ask. If I can I will answer to the fullest of my ability. You don’t have to scout me out. Although I am flattered.” I started getting flustered. He must have picked up on this because he laughed and hugged me.
“You’re cute as hell when you get all irritated.” I couldn’t help but smile. He may make no sense but… He’s just too good to be bad right? Yea… He’s way too good to be bad.
------Eclipse (8:32) -------
Seeing twilight all flustered and irritated always made my inner bronie cry out in girlish delight! If she wasn’t so damned cute when she goes crazy it wouldn’t be a problem!
“You uh… You can let me go eclipse…” HA!
“Just a little bit more, you’re adorable. You have no one to blame but yourself.” She laughed a little but I let her go. She was blushing.
“You really shouldn’t say things like that eclipse… I’m not adorable. I’m just…Me, just me.” Just you… I fail to see why this is NOT adorable.
“Fine, you’re not adorable. Let’s see…” I leaned against the side of the tree house.
“Hmm. Beautiful, That’s a good one. Clever, Clever is nice. You are… definitely cute, can’t compete on that count. Hmm…” At this point her face was a shade of red I had never seen before; I may have to name it myself! I’m gonna call it… Twiblush!
“No no no! Stop it! You have a mare friend!” And….
“So? I just was letting you know that you’re pretty, sexy, wonderfully nerdy, which just makes you hotter by the way. You would most likely look great with a wet mane, hmm. Hang on I’m sure I’ve got others.” I saw her horn glow as I was pushed over the side. Not a particularly long fall, but it did hurt.
“Oh my gosh! I am so sorry eclipse! Are you okay?!” Twilight was calling over the side.
“Magical! There another word!” I coughed she blushed some more and went inside. Me? I laid there a moment.
“Worth the pain…”
-----Rarity (8:39) ------
Ah... There we go. Now this suit is… Armored… Ugh. I cannot believe that idiot convinced me to make this for him… He does have a way with words though. Jeez… can’t stop worrying about him. I just KNOW he had something to do with that little fire over the everfree.
The door rang, I ran out to the front to welcome my new costumer, and instead was greeted with a very dusty eclipse.
“Oh… How on earth do you do this do my beautiful clothes?” He laughed. I was curious.
“I hit on twilight.” Oh, that explains it; poor dear can’t take a compliment.
“All in good fun I hope?” he nodded.
“Of course, I wouldn’t be hitting on her if I wanted her in my bed.” I suppose that’s true enough.
“Yes, for a girl like twilight some quality time, perhaps a movie. Maybe even a candle lit dinner, or a good book.” He looked lost in thought a moment.
“Did you say ‘movie’?” Oh dear. He really is still learning isn’t he?
“You realize you recently discovered peanut butter and jelly, and now you’re asking about movies yes?” He laughed.
“Well DUH. I didn’t think Equestria had movies! I told Luna and she didn’t know what the hell I was talking about!” Oh… Huh.
“Well, perhaps she refers to movies as cinematic adventures?” He shrugged. Then he stepped past me into the work room.
“Wow is that mine?” I smiled.
“Of course it is darling.” He began grinning.
“It’s like…exactly the same, yet I can’t help but feel impressed.”
-----Eclipse (8:40) -----
The coat LOOKED exactly the same. It was my regular combination jacket, just repaired. But there was something about it that was… Better. I couldn’t explain it.
“Yes, and it took me almost all last night to get the runes for durability carved into it, If you rip this one, I will be extremely mad.” She huffed away as I slipped it on, it still felt… Fine. Just…Better! It’s impossible to explain! The way the cloth moved the way it felt, everything about this was just superior.
“It also cleans itself. I thought you might need it what with your…Jungle running and all.” Rarity sat down and began working on designs again. I did what I do best. I hugged her.
“Put me down!” I laughed and did as she said. She looked at me and smiled anyway.
“You look dashing, now go and… Do stuff. And I won’t accept payment for this!” I laughed. Won’t accept payment. Right. I took out three gold bits and placed them on her desk.
“Now what did I just say!” She turned to look at me. I started leaving.
“It’s not payment, it’s a donation!” With that I slipped out the door. Got an armor coat. Woo!
And it’s simple! And Clean! … Huh… Simple and clean, never thought I would want to hear that song again…
“When you walk away, you won’t hear me say…” I walked from rarity’s porch. There was nowhere else to go… I don’t think…
“God damn… I need a toothpick or something so I can look cool while thinking.” I started walking to town. A visit to pinkie may improve my mood…
“No… Nope. It won’t… This is bugging me.” I turned and started walking to the house. Few minutes later and I was at the door, I entered and headed upstairs. Nopony was home at this point, so whatever.
I walked into my room and hopped onto the teleporter…Wait… I don’t need to go to the castle… Jesus I can’t think straight without music…
I stepped off the teleporter and headed downstairs to find the STILL wrapped package from vinyl.
It was bigger than a bread box. But smaller then a microwave. Obviously it’s a heart monitor!
I picked it up. It wasn’t too heavy. But either way, I sat on the couch and undid the twine wrapped around it. Inside there was a box and a letter. So I did the fun thing, I instantly started inspecting the box. And I recognized it too. A radio! I set it down and smiled. I then opened the envelope.
“Sup eclipse, if you’re reading this, I’m doing good. In fact, I’m doing GREAT. The money you slipped into my purse, sneaky bastard. As well as a surge of motivation, got me my first major gig! Not a studio gig, but close enough. I’m a talk show host, on K-colt. Tune in some time; I hear my fellow host is a ton of fun. Can’t wait to hear from you again. Vinyl Scratch” ….
“K colt… damnit… I know that name…” Whatever. I picked up the radio and put it on the mantle above our little fireplace. That way it’s out of the way. I like radio, and I like vinyl… but something tells me I don’t want to listen to that...
I stepped back outside into the sun and was greeted by a rainbow maned pegasi.
“You said you had a job? I’d like to get it over with quick.” I laughed.
“Quick? Well. I don’t know if that’s going to work. Follow me.” I led her through the woods, often times having to stop and get her untangled. It was a pretty serious mess eventually I ended up carrying her with my coat over her so her wings didn’t get hurt.
“This is stupid. I should have just flown.” I laughed.
“Bit late for that now isn’t it? We’re almost there. Just sit tight. You’re not the first pony I’ve carried down this path.” Technically she was. I carried be the opposite direction!
When we arrived I let her out so she could see the damage. The ice hadn’t melted at all.
“Oh man… This is gonna take all day.” I laughed.
“You got the time?” she just smiled and took to the sky, kicking everfree clouds blocking the sunlight. I set to work using my fire as a sort of welder, cutting a path from the east end of the ice block all the way to the center. At one point I actually had to cut through a timber wolf. Good thing they are all branches and twigs.
“What exactly are you doing eclipse?” I laughed at that.
“It’s a drain pipe! The water is going to flow to the middle, where it will meet my lovely little drain here, and flow away from town.” She nodded.
“I don’t get it.” I just smiled and we went back to our respective work.
It took two hours, for me to cut from the east side. To the center. This ice was not normal. Dash could feel it too.
“Eclipse the ice just doesn’t want to melt. It’s like… It’s not ice!” It was ice. Just… odd ice.
“Well… I guess if I turn up the fire power, and come back tomorrow… I should have this all cleared by next week.” Rough estimate.
“Eclipse… Did you do this?” I nodded.
“That’s…Scary.”
“Eeyup.” I am definitely frightening… Fuck.
