I woke up to hear nothing but the cool wind. Where was I. Why am I so warm? Wait…now I remember. I held scootaloo in my arms she was asleep. I sighed we can’t stay here all I night. I got to my feet holding scootaloo. She murmured a bit but drifted off back to sleep. I walked outside of the club house to see something coming my way. “Hello Luna” I said groggily. “Ah hello Dante how are you this fine night?”
“Never better” she looked at scootaloo “Are you going to tell me what this is about?” she asked. “Yea im going to take care of her from now on.” She looked at me questionably “Why?” she asked confused. “Because she has nowhere else to and she can’t live in this clubhouse that’s for damn sure.” Luna giggled “You are a really good person Dante.”
“I know that’s the best part about me.” She raised an eyebrow “What’s the worst?” I shudder “It’s not bad just a weird fetish” I say with a smile. Yea running around in a hot dog suit weird fetish. “Yes I must say that is a weird fetish!” THE HELL! “Uh what are you talking about?” I blushed what if she can read minds….
“No I can’t read minds” LIES. She smiled “I know.” I sighed “Ive got to get going do you think you can teleport me somewhere?” she nods “Where to Dante?” I shrug and think for a moment. “Send me to twilights im sure she is still up.” She nods and her horn begins to glow. I am engulfed by a bright flash so I close my eyes. When I reopen them I am outside of the library.
Lights are on so I kick the door substituting for a knock. “Hold on im coming!” I could hear twilight. She opened the door “Oh hi cloud. What are you doing here?” she sees scootaloo “Cloud what did you do?” the hell why did she ask that? “Nothing and its Dante now and I need a place to stay for tonight with scootaloo.”
“Why do you have scootaloo?” I sigh “Well I can’t just let her live in a clubhouse out in the middle of nowhere.” Damn when I talk to twilight it’s like 20 questions. “Where’s her parents?” see what I mean “Dead” I say bluntly. She covers her mouth “Oh I had no idea.” She says sorrowfully. I step inside the library to see a stack of books “Wow Twi you’re quite the reader.”
“Yea I have a lot of spare time.” She scratches the back of her mane with her front hoof. HOW!?! “So cloud-“I stop her “Its Dante” she looks at me “Why the name change?” I shake my head “Not a name change just using my real name I decided it’s time to get over my past.” She raised an eyebrow “What happened in your past?”
“Lots of things…Never any good.” She walked up to me “Mind if I see them?” I think for a moment “Are you sure I mean things for me are pretty violent and…” I trail off. “Trust me Dante I can handle it.” I set down scootaloo on the couch and look at twilight. “Fine let’s get this over with.” She smiled “Trust me Dante.”
She walked up to me with her horn glowing and pressed it against my temple. My surroundings completely changed “Twi where are we?” I looked at my side to see twilight getting to her hooves “Your memories.” She replied “Now let’s see..” she began walking away from start to finish.” Wow I have a lot of memories.
“Here it is Dante your child hood.” I froze up “Are you sure you want to see that twilight?” she nodded “That’s why im here.” I sighed and motioned her to go forward. She looked at me “Not coming?” I shake my head “If you experience it once you may never want to experience it again.” She turned her head back and went inside. I sighed and looked around “Well the hell do I do now.” I murmur to myself.
I turn back around to see twilight coming out with a blank expression “I told you” I state. A tear rolls down her cheeks “D-Dante how did you make it through all that. And come out like this?” she is now crying “Im really good at forgetting and putting on a fake smile.” She still isn’t moving “Twi are you alright?” she shake her head “Dante why did he make your life like that?”
I shrug “But I got my revenge when I killed him.” She shudders “I never thought someone like you. Someone so innocent…so good could do something like that.” I smile sheepishly “I got a dark side I only brought it out once and I never plan on bringing it out again.” She gave me a weak smile “Well I can see why you drink so much now.” Oh my drinking problem “Yea it numbs the pain and is also fun.” I am engulfed by another light.
I open my eyes to see that im back in the library and twilight is standing in front of me. She opens her eyes there red “Twi you should go get some sleep like now.” She shakes her head “I don't need it” I sigh “Like hell you don't and if you don't I will force you to.” She raises an eyebrow “Will you now?” I picked her up and she yelped a little “I warned you Twi never doubt me”
She struggles in my grip as I take her up the steps “Please Dante just one more book!” I sigh “Nope!” I put her in her bed and exited her room. “Goodnight Twi” she crossed her front legs and pouted. I glared at her. “Dante this will not end well for you” she huffs “I know but that’s the fun part!” I reply as I close her door.
I make my way down the steps and stretch. I look outside to see the midst of the sun “Damn time flies here” I murmur to myself as I sit in the chair. This thing is not most uncomfortable chair ever. Maybe if I can find some way to get comfortable. “Gah” I muttered. “Challenge denied” I sigh and sit on it. This sucks I keep sliding. Now what do I do today… maybe I will go see Lolly and fluttershy. I close my eyes and concentrate on my breathing and drift into sleep.
I open my eyes to see im somewhere new “The hell?” I could hear laughing “Sorry about that kid” says the voice “Author you could have just called me” I call out. A man about in his thirties with short hair and a goatee comes out of a door. “What fun would that be?” I shrug. “Well come here I want to talk with you.
I follow him and he sits down in a chair. “Cloud you know something is coming in Equestria…” I nod my head “Its dante now” he glares at “ill call you what I want now be quite and listen to my rant.” I sigh and sit down “Listen cloud you have been there what 3 days your dating a pony and your taking care of a filly now.” I look at him
“So?” he sighs “Well cloud I can you that I hope that your enjoying your vacation but I must tell you two more things.” I raise a eyebrow “Whats that?” he puts his hands together “Its not my choice but your going to have to make a sacrifice in the end. And always trust lolly she is an ally you cant lose….” He then falls silent
I wake up with a cold sweat. Damn it author now you just ruined my vacation more than the Vindi.
