Even though my eyes were shut, the bright lights entered slightly and caused my eyelids to appear white. I don’t know when the explosion will set off, but I won’t be able to witness with my eyes due to the light obscuring my vision anyways. I literally have no sense of direction right now! I rather see my death than die blind to be honest.
The popping sound from the disintegrating alien continued as I huddled closer towards Kaise. The popping became more menacing and began to echo as time went by. Okay, I might be scared enough to piss myself, but what does being scared accomplish? I might not be capable of seeing anything, but does that necessarily make me helpless? I can try to use my instincts to find a way to break out.
Okay, let’s see… KaiseShawn and I are next to the driver’s seat, so the controls to the car should be next to us. It might be a bold attempt, but it’s also a long stretch. If I open it, it’s just pure luck on my part, despite me not wearing a charm on me. Man, this would be so easier if Kaise can just teleport!
Wait, I have an idea!
“Kaise…I need you to do something…” I asked lightly.
“Shit,” she responded nonchalantly.
“I need you to… try and visualize your home…” Geez, why did I say her home? I know that is the last place Kaise would like to be, but this is just an experiment anyways. Kaise can teleport to my house anytime she likes… except when I’m sleeping or using the bathroom.
“Why?”
“Because… I just want to test something out. Like, think of your house… your room to be precise. After you do that, imagine you and me inside your room. Like, do it like you want to get out of here with all your heart,” I explained carefully. “If magic is real, then this is the only logical way I could think of using teleportation.”
“Uh… you’re s-sure it’s that easy, Shawn?” Kaise stammered.
“No, that’s why I said I want to try something,” I muttered, slightly irritated that I had to clarify something as trivial as this. Not only that, but we are wasting time!
“Ight, I’ll see what I can do. If it doesn’t work, I’ll bust a cap in your ass.”
I couldn’t see if Kaise did it or not, but I’m assuming she did. Now all I have to do is just relax and anticipate seeing the nice serene view of Kaise’s home. I could just imagine the scene in my head right now.
“Shawn!” Kaise yelped, disrupting my contented thoughts. Don’t know why Kaise yelled so loud, but the teleportation trick must have worked! I mean, the inside of my eyelids don’t look so bright as they did before. There is only way to confirm my suspicion…
My eyes bolted open as a grin spread across my face. “Did it work?”
As expected, the lights reduced greatly, making it easier for me to scan my surroundings. Immediately, I realized that we in fact did not teleport. No, we were still in the car, but it looked like the alien was absorbing the light. Um, damn. I actually thought that would work, but then again, fanfic authors don’t know anything about Equestrian unicorns. You know, since I can see again, I’m just gonna hurry up and get out this car and stop trying to be creative.
“Um, nah. It flopped, man. But, check this out!”
I frowned as the alien started decreasing in size and black particles started orbiting around it. It’s whole body became black and it’s whole frame became reminiscent of a mummy. Was I really scared of this? Pfft, please. Nothing is going to explode and no one is going to get hurt. He must be being sent back to his planet after failing his mission. Judging by the way his true form looks, he must have been on a quest to find ‘exotic’ PcP.
I yawned and turned around to the car’s window controls. Before I could press the button to unlock the car, the echoing of the pop returned, but was accompanied with a cryptic scream. I admit, the sound shook me a little, but it didn’t give me another heart attack type reaction. I shrugged and pressed on the button to open the door. The clicking of the doors signaled that everything was unlocked again, which meant that we were just one step away from getting out of the mini- dungeon. Before I could click it once again, a sucking sound crept it’s way in my ear. When I mean sucking, I mean sort of like a vacuum cleaner.
I sighed and turned around to the alien and… damn. It looks like a giant face was coming out the mummy looking thing’s chest!
Um, I don’t know if this is a signal or a message being sent, but this isn’t scary at all. Slightly disturbing, but not freighting. Whoever is in charge of this scheme is incompetent. First they make their cab driver act like a driver from fast and furious, then they attempt to act edgy by having a fucking scorpion face pop out? I don’t want to give anyone ideas, but if I was kidnapping someone, I would treat them with hospitality throughout the whole ride and go in for the kill when I make a questionable turn. I would then proceed to kill them in an abandoned alley. See what primetime television does to you?
Suddenly, the long face made a piercing screech and extended into Kaise’s and my face for a second. It caught both of us by surprise and we both screamed while hopping back, nearly butting heads as we hopped back. To our surprise, the face didn’t do anything and vanished in thin air. Wow… that’s an interesting way to disappear…
KaiseShawn and I gave each other a puzzled glance, still letting things sink in.
Kaise grimaced. “What is good with life!?”
“I wish I knew, but before we celebrate again, let’s get out of here before comes back again!” I suggested.
“Hell yeah!”
With alacrity, I hopped to the back seat of the car. I pulled the handle with my hoof and used my body to push the door open. I nearly lost balance and fell off the chair, but I was careful this time around. I sighed and flung my hindlegs over the edge of the seat. Before I exited the car, I peaked at the bags behind me, wondering how I will get them out. Eh, I guess I’ll just have to come back for them.
I carefully dropped from the seat and returned to my more comfortable four feet position. After seeing the bright blue sky again, my belly fluttered in hope. I’m finally out the car and surrounded by a bunch of people, meaning that I didn’t come all this way to die. I don’t want to even consider any negative possibilities or any ways how this can backfire.
I didn’t attempt to retrieve the bags and walked on the sidewalk. A cold flow of wind went at my face, causing my lips to tremble. For once, I actually felt pretty cold. I don’t know if it has to do with me losing a lot of blood or if the weather is extra cold today.
I walked further down the sidewalk, ignoring any strange glances I got. I was searching for benches to sit on, but we weren’t in a park. No, we were at a typical street with a few stores. There were no attractions or anything, so that probably explains why there is people stopping to look at me. I sighed and walked towards the curb of a random store, taking a seat. I took some time to regain my composure and asked myself a good question mentally.
What now?
I rested my hooves on my knees and felt my eyes become distant as I started staring into space (no pun). I shuffled my body on the left side of the door, making sure I wasn’t blocking the entrance. Okay, now that I’m alive and breathing, what will be the aftermath of this? Kaise and I killed someone who wasn’t really a human, he disappeared, and now we’re in the middle of nowhere.
Well, I will find a way to get home. I don’t see any police cars or hospital cars anywhere, so we should probably get out before anyone with authority comes in the scene. Why am I in a hurry? I don’t want this phenomenal to become big or anything. I don’t want to be on the news, internet, or anything. Besides the fact that nobody will ever look at me the same, so many strangers that I don’t know will know ‘me’. That’s extremely creepy. Plus, what’s the odds of me becoming ruminated by whoever is the superior of these ‘aliens’? I don’t even know what to classify these aliens as because I never saw a Changeling die like that.
However, this ‘thing’ sill displays characteristics of a changeling, like morphing into the form of someone and blending in competently. Hell, It could disguise itself as a couch potato and watch the breaking news where two ponies allegedly killed a man who disappeared. Damn, looks like I don’t have any time to relax at all.
“Excuse me, ma’am?”
“Gah!” I screamed as a perturbed pessimism took over me for a second. I gritted my teeth and hazily looked at the person who presumably was trying to talk to me. I shifted my eyes from his and continued looking at the ground. “Oh, I’m sorry for the outburst. I’m just feeling a little… pressured…”
“What happened?”
“I don’t want to talk about it, man,” I cried while pushing my face on my hooves.
“Don’t worry, the police has already been called.”
That statement quickly re-energized me as my head nearly snapped back. I was just thinking over the horrible possibilities that calling the police will bring to the table and now the police arriving to the scene is confirmed? Come on! I shook my head.
“No, you couldn’t have!” I got off the concrete and brushed my shoulders slightly. “I mean, you should have never done that!”
He raised an eyebrow. “Why?”
“Because…. No one needs to know! You have to cancel that call! Our lives might be in danger if they find out!”
“Who? What are you talking about? What does this have to do with you being raped?”
“Yes I WAS-“I grimaced. Now, why would he say something like that? What does me wanting to conceal information have to do with rape?
Maybe because mostly every rape victim is too afraid to tell?
Why do you choose to talk at the weirdest times?
I don’t know.
“No! That never happened! It was some alien in the car that-“
“An alien?” he broke in. I paused for a second, but responded with a nod. He chuckled, “Wow, that guy was must have been crazy. I didn’t know he drugged you out too! Don’t worry, that fucker won’t last long!”
I stared at him for a few seconds, coming to a conclusion on why his answers are so irrelevant. “D-did…. Did you even see what happen or are you just now seeing everything?”
“I just came and saw you sitting down. You looked assaulted so I thought someone attacked you.”
“Someone did attack me! But it wasn’t a regular man, it was a- “ My right eye twitched. “You… never mind…” I rolled my eyes and got back on my hooves. Talking to this guy wasn’t making any progress at all. I swear he is pulling any cliché out the book while talking to me. I’m going to have to be abrasive and direct with this.
I ran along the sidewalk, stopping in the middle where many people were present. My tail started tapping the street rapidity as I took a second to inhale, priming myself to get everyone’s attention.
“EVERYBODY! LISTEN!” I clamored.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and answered to my demands. A lot of them were already staring at me, but now the casual pedestrians were giving me the attention I desired. Okay, all eyes on me: I can’t blow this.
My cheeks became florid. “Okay, thank you for listening to me. Now, I’m sure some of you saw what happened in the car, and I’m sure A LOT of you are clueless.” Everyone stayed silent, but exchanged looks among each other. I smiled, “Okay okay, I know it’s weird seeing a pony covered in blood. Now, I’m just here to assure all of you that I am fine. Please do not call 9/11 or anything, alright? I’m fine, and the situation does not need to escalate any further!”
“I saw what happened!” a random masculine voice piped in.
“Yeah, the window became real white later on!” someone else added.
“You’re one badass pony!”
“You’re crazy!”
“I wouldn’t mess with you!”
I frowned. You know, even though I feel a haughty contentment for being perceived as a ‘badass' I could care less about that right now. “ALRIGHT, STOP! Please, please, whoever called the police needs to shut that down!”
“Why?”
“Because I don’t want to be a target, duh! Plus, this might cause havoc in the streets! No offense, but we as Americans tend to read between lines when we are frustrated!”
“What do you mean?” another voice questioned, except this voice actually came from a woman.
“I’m trying to say that you people might start a riot or even a civil war after what happened starts to get on the news! The whole country might start war! Don’t you understand that!?”
“What do you know? How do we know you’re telling the truth?”
“I am positive that I know who is behind this!” I huffed arrogantly, “But, we have to approach things gradually so the masterminds to this pony transformation stuff doesn’t-“
*Whee Youu Whee you*
My ears dropped. That sounds like the sirens of a police car. I hesitantly turned my body around and saw a police car driving like it’s pursuing a runaway car. Is there a coincidence that a car chose to appear after I finished telling everybody to not call? I really hope not, because it feels like I’m being watched right now.
I deadpanned. “Well, this deserves a ‘god damn’.”
“SHAWN!”
I turned around and saw Kaise approach me with murderous intent. Kaise was walking with three bags wrapped around her neck, looking petty strenuous walking with it. I’m not one to judge, but isn’t she being melodramatic? I start to break a sweat after five bags while she looks like she is about to pass out because of two bags. Hey, maybe being an earth pony isn’t as bad as I thought: I don’t suffer from being fragile completely.
“What’s the matter, Kaise?” I asked, already knowing the answer.
“What’s the matter? You’re bugging; you made me take all the bags myself you fucking derelict,” She spat.
“Remember when you said forget the bags? Yeah, I actually took you serious. I’m totally sorry, it won’t happen again,” I sneered.
“Haha, fuck you,” Kaise muttered indifferently, losing eye contact with me with a roll of eyes. She dropped the bags on the ground and glanced around the street hastily. Her eyes darted to the incoming police car, causing her hindlegs to jump back in surprise...“Oh shit, it’s the police!”
“Yes, it is the police. When we needed them they weren’t there, but all of the sudden they arrive to the scene. For what? The guy is gone and we’re still alive, and the aftermath is not as bad as I thought it would be,” I paused. If the police never came, the aftermath wouldn’t be as bad as I ‘hoped.’
Oh yeah, I’m sure some of the spectators were anxious to record some footage of the incident. I might as well order a casket now.
Kaise blinked and looked at the ground dolefully. “I don’t know what you’re trying to say, but I ain’t staying around for no police car. I’m about to dip. Are you with me or what?”
“No! Come on-“
“Boy! Stop trying to stunt!”
I looked at the police car one more time. Okay, if I go to prison, there is a 50/50 chance that I’m not going to rot in there forever. This is a gamble, and if I run away, my best bet is to die. I’m not usually picky and actually well-thought. I’m aware that surrendering is the best option, but…
I’m not technically in my right mind right now. And then again, these cops are shady. Not as much of a skeptic as I used to be, but I will always have the heart of one.
“RUN!” I shouted.
“Freeze!”
KaiseShawn and I heard the voice clearly, but we started to run anyways. It’s too late now, because once I’m running it’s hard to stop me. I only stop when I feel tempted, and no man commanding me to ‘freeze’ is in any way influencing me to stop!
*Boom*
The sound of a gun going off cause Kaise and I to push our brakes immediately.
I blinked and slowly turned my head around. I saw two men with matching blue police uniforms standing truculently, guns drawn before we could even react. The uniforms were typical police outfits, but I realized one of the officers was slightly shorter compared to the other one.
KaiseShawn gasped. “Hold up! What the fu-“
“You have the right to remain silent!” the shorter officer shouted while he relaxed his index finger on the trigger.
I put my hooves up defensively. “Wait! You got the whole thing mixed u-“
“Shut up!” He shouted while pointing the pistol directly at my face. The less you talk, the more we can get to the bottom of things!”
My right eye twitched. A pistol… directly pointing at my face… I’m being threatened…
Maybe I should have ran away.
“You better watch your mouth,” Kaise growled.
The sound of a clip being reloaded was heard clearly. This time, the taller cop brought the gun towards Kaise’s face. His finger was aligned on the trigger and to our expense, he teased us by firmly pushing his thumb on the gun’s handle. “Be easy, kid.”
Kaise’s eyes widened drastically, looking like a bowling ball or something. See, there goes cartoon physics again. Ironically, I never saw that reaction by any pony in the show...
KaiseShawn walked back from the cops and started to creep behind my back. “Chill…” she whispered while huddling next to me.
I was about to stand up for Kaise’s and mine honor, but I was even hesitant about the thought itself. This guy’s finger trigger is looking real itchy right now; too itchy. Of course the police usually doesn’t shoot, but let’s be logical: Police aren’t lenient, and they aren’t gonna give ponies any special treatment. The only specific treatment we might get is murder. Contrary to popular belief, all humans aren’t bastards, but some are.
The second one smiled. ”Good. Now that we got your full attention, I want you to explain from top from bottom what happened!”
I grimaced. “Wait, back up! I can’t believe I’m saying this, but don’t you usually arrest us and take us into the police station to interrogate us? For cops, you two are backwards.”
The shorter cop laughed while the taller one had a more realistic reaction. He put his gun back in his pocket while managing a sigh. “Sorry for creeping up on you like that, but we didn’t want you two to run away. We needed to make sure you were stable.”
“Yeah, and now we got you relaxed, we know we did our job alright,” The other one added. “Oh yeah, you’re not arrested, I just wanted to say ‘you have the right to remain silent’.”
I opened my mouth as I was suddenly drowned into a wave of bemusement. Okay, I’m going to assume the taller one is the head of their duo since he seems more competent. He is still an idiot, but at least he isn’t acting like this isn’t a joke. How is threatening us with guns going to make us stable? I was about to faint!
“Um, do you think those tactics were really necessary?” I asked while running a hoof through my mane in frustration.
The smaller one nodded. “Yeah, it is. We got you two stable.”
“Got us stable? GOT US STABLE! ARE YOU RETARDED!?” I snapped.
The more through cop shrugged. “Hey, don’t blame me! You should have never ran away!”
“We wouldn’t have ran away if you didn’t have your siren blasting so loud!”
“It was an emergency! There were cars in the way! What, did you think siren is only used as a radio or something? You need education of the law, even if you aren’t gonna be an officer,” he shot back.
I rolled my eyes. “Fine, my fault. I’m still a little jumpy, okay? You will have to bear with me.”
“Oh, that’s simple. But in order for that to happen, you must stay put and not run away again,” the cop who I consider cool said with a smile.
“So, we aren’t getting arrested, right?” Kaise asked.
“Ehh,” he grimaced and wiggled his right hand in uncertainly. “No. I mean, I’m not making promises, but just tell us the truth. There are many people saying that they saw you two murder a cab driver, but they insist that it was self-defense. Why? What exactly happened?“ I sighed and sat down on the ground, yawning. “What are you doing?”
My eyebrows arched. “Hey, you’re gonna ask us questions, so it’s finna take while. Might as well get comfortable, right?”
“Yeah… get comfortable on the street where a million people walk,” Kaise muttered.
“I don’t care, my legs are tired. I can pass out right now,” I replied in a whiny voice.
“Nah, you walling. I was the one walking with the bags, not you, homie.” I glared at Kaise. “Hey, facts only! You feel me?”
“No, I don’t feel you, ‘homie’,” I said bitterly.
“Hey, we can take this into the car if you want,” the snickering officer suggested. “I mean, now that I think about it, we should go to the police station.”
My eyelids tilted. “Wait, what?”
“I’m saying you’re correct, this isn’t exactly the appropriate place to ask questions. Just come in the car with us and tell us everything you know.”
I got a problem…with that statement. I got a problem… with encouraging him to say that! I can be so dense sometimes…
I should have never said that to him, because him not recognizing how interrogation usually goes is evidence that he must be… an alien!
“You know what I think? I think you’re a part of the illuminati. Nice try, jackass,” I scoffed. “Maybe if you weren’t so thick, you might have got away with your ‘plan’. I realized that all you illuminati puppets always got to be awkward!”
Even though my statement sounds absurd, it could be true. These guys are acting weird, just like everyone else who was malicious towards us acted. They weren’t necessarily malicious, but they could indeed be aliens based on their atypical replies! Maybe if I wasn’t so confused I would have been more perceptive of them.
The taller office put his hands up. “Woah! Let’s not get crazy! We are surely-“
“Shut up!” I commanded while getting back on four hooves. I’m ready for these goons this time and will take them out with ease.
“Kid, is your friend on drugs or something? Do we look like aliens?” The short cop directed the question. towards Kaise.
“No, the question is are you on drugs? You think you can fool people with your disguises!”
Kaise bumped me on the shoulders. “What are you chatting about?”
I looked at Kaise like she was possessed. I’m chatting? Kaise really can’t see how suspicious these officers have been acting? I thought Kaise and I were on page throughout the day…
“Kaise… can’t you see how farfetched they are? The moment I started talking about wishing the police wouldn’t come, they arrive!” I pointed at the aliens, who currently looked very innocent and confused. They sure are good actors, I give them that.
Kaise’s eyebrows rose as her expression eased up, but she still had a dubious look. “Um, that is crazy, but it can just be a coincidence.”
The first cop sighed. “I’m telling you we aren’t ‘aliens’. We don’t even know if there are aliens or not! I’m honest, ma’am. Now, can you please just come quietly?”
I stared at him with brooding eyes. Feeling slightly overwhelmed, I turned my head away from them and took a small trip to my mind. Yeah, there is something called a coincidence, but coming with them leaves a bad taste in my belly.
That’s just the dinner from last night.
Will you shut up already? Geez, I’m starting to like female brain better than you.
“I… I don’t know. I don’t trust going in another car...”
“You can come with us or we can take you with us. Have it your way,” the second one replied as his tone was in the middle of mirth and seriousness.
Have it my way? Does this look like burger king?
“No, I don’t want to go to your car. Can we just get this questioning stuff over with?”
“No, you have to come with us,” he said flatly.
“The dude wasn’t even real!” Kaise shouted.
He deadpanned. “See Randy, I told you we should have just cuffed them.”
Randy blinked. “It’s only gonna take a few minutes. I’m sorry, but if you don’t come with us, we’ll have to charge you for resistance.”
“Are we getting arrested?” Kaise iterated her earlier question.
“Um, no. That’s why I said we will have to arrest you if you refuse?” he answered sarcastically.
Kaise and I exchanged a look with each other. We both were nervous, but it was for different reasons obviously. While I wasn’t that concerned about getting arrested as much as Kaise, I was concerned if these guys really were real. The only way I can prove if they are real if I see their blood, but how can I see their blood without hurting them?
I bit my lip and inhaled deeply. I gazed at the clouds while I began to contemplate once again.
You know, this is kinda my fault now that I think of it.
“Trust us; we are not what you think. You won’t get hurt,” Randy said in an assuring voice.
I met his gaze and second thoughts started to cross my mind. His hazel, protruding eyes looked completely staid, but honest. It’s like it was hypnotizing me too… no! I don’t trust anybody!
I huffed and tilted my head away from the cop, avoiding eye contact with him. “How should I trust you? I don’t know you! Hell, I don’t even know if the people I’m around are real!”
“Facts! These aliens could look like humans if they want! I'm not getting my ass probed!” Kaise said casually while her tail trailed toward the middle of her plot. I looked at Kaise with disgust visible on my face. I just went through some scarring mental images after that South park reference. Great, where is brain when I need him?
He raised an eyebrow. “Well, how can we prove to you we are real?”
“Well, if you cut yourself maybe. That alien’s blood wasn’t red so-”
Suddenly, Randy dug into his hip pocket and took out a dagger. He shived his arm slightly, but deep enough to create a cut. After the fact, he pulled the sleeves to his coat down and lifted his arm up, showcasing the exposed piece of skin. “Does this look red to you?”
My eyes followed the red blood dripping down his arm. Wow, that was badass. He did it so quick and didn’t even flinch! I think I will like this guy. But, I am still disappointed that I made myself look like an idiot. Man, I hate paranoia!
I blushed in embarrassment and fiddled with my hooves. “I stand corrected. We shall go in the car now. C’mon, Kaise.”
“As long as we aren’t getting arrested, then I have no problem.”
“We should arrest you two for slander,” the unnamed cop muttered while crossing his arms.
Randy laughed in agreement. “Yeah, we should. Especially the orange one.”
My right eye twitched irritability. Are people color blind or what? Isn’t it obvious I’m yellow? “Okay, first of all, I’m yellow not orange. Get it right next time.”
“When you get your accusations right we will,” he shot back.
“I had a good reason to accuse you! You took like 5-6 minutes just to get there! Don’t you know how-“a hoof went into my mouth, inhibiting me from completing my sentence. I then felt a muzzle go against my neck and another hoof wrap around my chest.
Kaise pulled me back and chuckled nervously. “Pay no attention to my friend. She’s just going through that period of- oops, I said period.”
“PMft you!” I exclaimed in a muffed tone.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2 hours later
“That didn’t go as bad as I thought,” I stated while ringing on the door to my house.
After Kaise and I answered some questions at the police department, we were dropped off in front of my house. It wasn’t as bad as I thought and was surprisingly quick. I mean, for an investigation it was. Sadly, the ‘man’ who disappeared didn’t leave behind any evidence or records of his I.D., so it might be difficult pin pointing the leader behind this.
Man, I’m at home now and I’m still alive; I have the right to celebrate a little! Fuck whatever the ‘aliens’ are doing right now, because I’m not going outside in awhileeeee!
Okay, that sounded selfish. I do want them to get captured, because imagine how many ponies are secretly suffering? Okay, this is the beginning, but I need to take one thing at a time, right? Maybe America being exposed to this isn’t so bad at all. There are so many possible repercussions, but if you look at it from an optimist’s point of view…. It’s not!
“Facts. I feel… some typa way” Kaise replied.
“Why? Because you’re not going into prison?” I asked with mirth in my voice.
“Nah, besides that, I feel good. You know what would make me feel better?”
“What?” I asked hastily, feeling that Kaise’s upcoming answer won’t be pleasant to my answers.
“You got any weed in this bitch? ” she raised an eyebrow.
I deadpanned. “Um, I don’t know. Sorry, I’m cutting down on that.”
I rolled my eyes. “Why wouldn’t I? That shit is expensive. Not only that, but it’s dangerous hiding it in my house like that. I don’t hate weed, but it’s just the circumstances of-“
“Shut up,” Kaise interrupted me, disregarding me completely. “Do you have anything that will get me smacked? I really need to do something illegal after this!”
“I have an idea…” I muttered while using my mane to block my eyes from Kaise’s view.
“Really? What!” Kaise eyes brightened while she looked at me expectantly.
“Is sticking my hoof up your ass illegal? I hope so…because I would get you to shut up and cry at the same damn time,” I drawled sadistically, keeping a straight face despite my eyes squinting at the slightest movement. “And shouldn’t you go home? You have to take a shower anyways.”
Kaise frowned. “Damn boy, the scary part is you might pull off something like that.”
“Haha, no. Seriously, go home and wash that. It’s too obvious what you’ve been doing.”
“Nah man, fuck that noise. I’m washing my shit in your house,” Kaise objected.
I glanced at Kaise from the corner of my eyes. Kaise is trying me right now but she is oblivious as always. “Really? Last time I checked, it’s my house and it’s my decision whether you get to wash your ‘shit’."
Kaise’s eyes narrowed. “Who the fuck are you talking to like that? You think you’re the shit because you killed someone? I’ll send you up shits creek.”
“What’s up then?” I pushed my muzzle towards Kaise and gritted my teeth. “Can’t you see that I’m frustrated! Shut up for a second and let me think! Damn, take a hint!” I huffed and turned back to the door, realizing it was still close.
I grunted and started to pound on the door. Holy hell, what is taking them so long to open? Are they even home? I hope so… I do not want to climb the windows of the house.
“You’re a bitch,” Kaise mumbled.
I sighed softly and leaned on the door. “Sorry Kaise, I’m just vexed. I don’t know what to do right now because-“
My sentence ended with an abrupt yelp as I lost balance and fell onto my sides. Apparently, the door opened the moment I leaned on it. That’s how the world works; I have to fall to get in my house.
I opened my eyes and saw a pair of shoes in front of my eyes. The feet were pretty big, so I’m just gonna go ahead and guess my Dad opened the door. I groaned and employed my sight upwards looked up to see a clueless man staring down. Yep, that is definitely my father. Who else what it be to do something like that?
“Shawn?” he murmured.
“Oh, hey Dad. What’s up? Apparently, you are,” I joked, even though my voice didn’t suggest it.
“What’s cracking Mr.Hopkins?” Kaise said while walking into the house.
Dad’s mouth opened in surprise. He glared at me. “Okay, who is this pony and why does it know my name? Didn’t I say don’t bring ponies in the house, especially if they are associated with crips!”
I got off the ground and brushed my chest slightly. “Dad, you know you never told me that… and this is isn’t no ‘crip’, it’s just Kaise,” I sighed. Man, my Dad can be very silly sometimes.
“Oh. Hey Kaise!”
“Ain’t much, cuz.”
Even though I think Kaise needs to stop talking that. Someone is gonna hurt this fool one day. Oh wait, it has happened numerous times already! Geez, what a lost cause.
I bumped Kaise on the shoulders in frustration. “Stop talking like that! The door is still open!”
“So? It’s like you live in the hood or nothing.” I didn’t respond but nearly slammed the door closed. Kaise rolled her eyes and glanced at Dad.“Yo, did you by any chance put sand in Shawn’s pad?”
Dad blinked. “What pad?”
Oh crap, I forgot Dad does know anything about that!
“No pad!” I shouted hastily. “It’s just a small joke! She is trying to make a euphemism because of how bitchy I‘m acting! It’s all good…”
“…She?”
I blinked. “Yeah. Kaise is a mare. I was gonna stick to refer to Kaise as a dude, but Kaise preferred-“
“Shh,” Kaise hushed me while bumping me in addition. Oh, so a part of Kaise is embarrassed? Well, I would be too. Who wants to stay like this when you bleed like me!? Well, it’s better than prostate exams.
Dad eyes widened. “So… Kaise isn’t a guy anymore either?”
“Nope,” Kaise answered like the question was regarding something mundane.
Dad put his hand on his chest and started to breath in and out deeply, keeping his eyes sealed open. Next thing I knew he erupted with laughter. What the hell? What is so funny about a man losing his manhood? You would have think Dad would have sympathized a little, but that is too much apparently
“What’s so funny?” I said in a hushed tone.
“T-that… is… just…” he was crying from laughing so hard he was unable finish his sentence. His crying caused him to walk backwards, but he accidently tripped and fell on the couch. That didn’t stop his laughter, which is a complete shame. I looked at Kaise and noticed she was smiling.
What?
I slapped Kaise with enough force to get her attention, which isn't alot at all. “Why aren’t you angry? The guy is disrespecting you and me!”
“If I was him, I would do the same thing. I don’t know what crawled up your ass and died, but you need to calm down. You’re worse than my step Mom,” Kaise snorted.
My ears flattened. “B-but… he is trying to-“
“Would you stop worrying about me? Worry about yourself! Why aren’t you pissed? I’m supposed to be angry at every single thing you don’t agree with? Get off my nuts !” Kaise nearly growled.
“… You don’t have nuts…”
“No shit. I don’t because they’re in your butt from you riding them so hard. Let me rock and I’ll let you rock, cuz. Like damn, you don’t own me! You think you’re better than me just because you use words that I can’t understand sometimes? You think you’re better than me don’t you? You're obsessed, yo, and you ain’t better than me or no one else! You need to act right or you might get hurt by somebody, and I won’t be there to save you!”
My left eye twitched. You know, I don’t ever remember saying I’m better than anyone. Where did that come from? Is Kaise trying to counter the argument by throwing dirt on my name? How spiteful. “You…” I searched for something to say, but came up short. I just waved a hoof in dismissal and walked towards the stair case. Wow, that ungrateful brat! I was looking out for her dumbass by being worried and she tries to say I’m obsessed? Turd.
I turned around to Kaise one last time. “Forget you then. I was trying to be ‘cool’, but getting to your head is a waste of time!”
“Wait, where are you going?” Kaise called out.
I kept my back turn. “I’ll worry about me and you go worry about yourself!” With that said, I ran upstairs in the spur of the moment.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
I blinked. God damn, running upstairs after being confronted? That’s some gold fish shit right there. I think I’m the one that should be worried about Shawn, since he- I mean she is acting pretty candy right now. I think Shawn is suspect. What did I even say though? Maybe I need to speak fuckboynesse for Shawn to understand since she was speaking that her whole life?
“Whoa woah, what happened? I didn’t mean to get you two to argue!” Mr. Hopkins said.
“Shawn ran upstairs like a little girl. Wanna know why? Because I didn’t get mad at you laughing!” I frowned. “On some real though, I don’t care if you laugh, man. If I don’t get mad, I don’t.”
“Oh, well sorry for laughing.”
“Don’t apologize to me, man. I ain’t worried bout that, I’m just wondering why Shawn is acting like that.”
“Shawn wasn’t acting like that earlier?”
I shrugged. “Nah. Shawn was being type boring like always. If Shawn was the bible, she would be the old testament, no lie.”
“Okay, before we finish talking, where did you two come from?”
I paused and didn’t say anything for a couple of seconds. Oh, now he chooses to ask this question when Shawn goes upstairs? That sucks cause I ain’t a good liar. I like to keep everything g, and won’t this be considered snitching if I tell Shawn’s business?
Then again, everyone is a snitch low key. I’m not throwing shots at anybody, I’m just saying.
“Uh, we just came from… school,” I half-lied.
“Hmm, my wife told me you two couldn’t go to school. And why are you bleeding? Were you two in a fight with somebody?”
I grinned. “Yeah, we were! That’s exactly what happened!”
“Wow, looks like you got busted pretty bad…”
“Hell nah! I stuck my horn in his body!” I yelled.
Oops, I wasn’t supposed to say that. Even as a girl, I still have pride. Damn.
I blushed and covered my mouth. “Wait, I’m chatting! Yeah, he busted me open!”
He looked at me with fear on his face. “D-Did you really do that, Kaise? You’re trying to tell me you killed someone?”
Damn son, where he found bout this from? I’m stressed that I basically told him we killed someone. Oh well, he isn’t gonna be a problem if I tell him the truth.”
I sighed. “Look, it’s a long story. But, the person I killed isn’t a ‘human.’”
“…What?”
“Look man, I’m hungry, tired, and you reminded me I need to take a shower. Can we wait on this before I get into a rant? I’m not good at telling stories when I’m feeling dread.” He nodded his head slowly. “Good looks, man. I’ll be right back…”
I walked upstairs and started to think about what’s to come in the future. Well, looks like I’m gonna have to do some explaining.
I’m not good at that, so I need Shawn to come thru. Okay, before I tell Shawn, I need to press her for her shitty behavior. The mothafucka snaps on me even though I was grinding out there? But before I son Shawn, I need to wash my horn. I don’t want to do dirty magic if you know what I mean.
Hah, that was wack.
Seriously though, what’s wrong with me? I didn’t mean to snap like that. I was prolly over reacting a little, I admit. I got mad emotional for no reason though. Like, ‘Oh my god, you think you’re better than me!’ That was real shitty right there. I am out of line too.
When I reached the stair’s top landing, the bathroom door seemed to be open, which meant no one is in there. I closed my eyes and started to walk in, whistling a tune that came up in my head. I don’t want what it’s called, but I heard it on tv the other day. It goes like ‘takeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee onnnnnnnnnnnnnn meeeeeeeeeeeeee!’
I opened my eyes and I saw a pony in the shower looking at me. The curtains was mostly closed, but it was open enough for me to get a peek. Not only that, but the curtains were clear, so I could see everything! Good thing Shawn is facing me, because I would have saw her box.
The shower was running on Shawn while she was absently staring at me. Damn, maybe if I wasn’t whistling I would have heard the shower! Shawn pulled the curtain of the shower completely closed, but the transparency of it wasn’t helping. Damn, Shawn leaves the door open and showers with a transparent curtain? That’s a bad look right there, b.
“I could still see you… ” I muttered.
“Get out!” She yelled while wrapping her hooves around her chest.
I didn’t get intimated by Shawn trying to get loud with me. Instead, an interesting thought crossed my mind. Ironically, the thought is about a thought that never crossed my mind.
“I know you’re still probably pissed, but I think we should take a shower together.”
