//------------------------------// // Curse dem Fruit flies // Story: An "ORANGE" of a day // by Driftblade the drifter //------------------------------// (somewhere in a dark forest devoid of life) Trees were all that surrounded him...it was his home...his prison...and his life. He would roam the forests because he had no choice. He had to kill the ink creatures, he had open them up, he had to pull their insides out, and he had to dissect each one thoroughly. If not he would die, and become a shell that would continue on doing the same things over and over. That was a long time ago before he was freed from the book...his book. she was so kind to give a real life outside of that damn story, but that book became my real body as the form I have is but a image what I am in that book, no matter she gave me life and in return I served her and her brother. I started to grow feelings for her and only her. I begin to test my new powers, I was able to appear anywhere and in any world so long they had a book that connected them together, I was able merge with my pry and use them as a puppet instead of having to kill them to wear their skin like my kind...or the one that created me. She begin to feel my feelings and was not sure at first, but then told me maybe in that teasing voice of hers. That changed when I realized the same fate that befell on me before my freedom was the same to others out there. So I freed them in the only way I could...By killing them...only works if you attack the real...the first. She found out was not happy...she left me...I understand, I am a monster that has forgotten what he really was. I am the Story...I liked the name she gave me...better than Mr. Story...out. _ Oran was walking towards the woods hoping to feed on the magic there and not cause any harm to the ponies. on the way there he ran into one pony he was hoping not to see... the blue one. She began to tell him that he was going to get it if he did not explain why he was in Ponyville and gave him ten seconds to reply. Looking up at the sun, he could tell he did not have much time before the battle, and he could tell that the wubs were strong with that one. So not wanting to waste time, he used his magic he had and turned her into an orange before she said ten. Pleased that was out of the way he went into the forest. Rainbow Dash was experiencing for the first time what it felt like to be an orange, and felt relaxing, so relaxing that she could forget everything in the world...this was very rudely interrupted as Scootaloo found her on the road and picked her up. Rainbow was glad her little fan found her and no one else, and she could now be returned to her original body. These thoughts were thrown away as Scootaloo began to eat her...thus ended the tale of the fastest and citrusy delicious Rainbow Dash. Of course when a old tale dies a new one is born, and Scootaloo's wings suddenly grew to the size they should have been, and thus a new tale was born, 'Scoots of the Warp Speed'. Oran was having a great time with the magic here and would have enjoyed it more if not attacked by a swarm of bug ponies followed by there queen. This did not but bug him, but what did was the buzzing of their wings and that they were bugs. This reminded him of the time he lost his orchard to fruit flies, and this made him seethe with rage as he begin to take in more magic than necessary as he was about go into rage form, and these bugs would not like him when he is angry. Said Queen was smiling thinking this would be an easy meal with her children against a young dragon. Sadly this was no young dragon and not a normal one either. She would soon learn to regret what she got herself into, that is if she was still alive to repent. Oran walked out of the forest feeling full to certain extent, plus he got a new hat out of it and this made him happy, very happy with his new hat he set out to settle his little duel of wubs. This was going to be the toughest challenge since that staring contest with that rock, 'which he won' speaking of rocks there was a certain one he had to meet first before the duel. A lone boulder was sitting on a mountain ledge staring at the town before it. Oran walked up to the boulder and bowed his head in respect to Sensei Tom. For the next hour he was taught the way of stillness and thanked his master more confident then before and ready to take on his opponent. As he left Tom said one thing to him self 'why Rarity' as a tear ran down his build. (6:03pm ponyville town square) Vinyl was all set for her battle and was now wondering why she accepted it in the first place, but these were tossed away in the wind, which ate them in return and thought they were yummy. Oran appeared before her with his own stage. ( I truly am sorry but the rest was unable to be explained as an army and the princesses blew up the stage and a battle began, and yes, Mr. Orange was the victor of the battle as Oran fled in the chaos and was at a small cottage. We are truly sorry.) Oran could not believe that was all skipped as it was one hell of a blood bath. Luckily he was safe from it all, and was now look at his surroundings. He seemed to be at a small cottage and the rest he already new from guessing. As he was looking around he spotted a pink tail sticking out a small bush, and he was not going to that bush, so he waited for her to come out...which she did not for thirty minutes. Lucky for him he was taught the way of stillness from his sensei. So he had all of eternity to wait, and wait he did.
