//------------------------------// // 5: note to self, remember to take meds // Story: The stolen Moon // by DeadEquestrians //------------------------------// The group of ponies awoke in a dense forest. the smell of pine tree's hung in the air. "What the hay was that?" applejack muttered as she regained her bearings. Pinkie pie was already bouncing about, over joyed by the alien world "hoowooo, an alien leaf!" she squealed examining the object in her hooves . shadow rubbed his head "you do realize that that's just a leaf right?" "guys," emerald looked down at her hooves "we're still ponies..." Rarity gasped "What! I only packed 10 change's of clothing! I was told not to pack to many clothes you'll be human! Do i look human!?" she fell caching her self with magic, and then curled up and proceeded to sob in to her forelegs "I'm a disgrace to fashion!" thunder looked at her with Confusion evident on his face "they'er just cloths..." "Just cloths? To you they are 'just cloths' to me they are everything!" she calmed her self. "i am a top end fashion designer. Too me cloths will never be just cloths, they are a way of life! i thought you would know that with your fez and all." He glared at her "i wear a fez because they are cool, and smart, not because they are fashionable!" Shadow butted in "i would like to kindly inform you that they are nether! they look like buckets for god sake!" "I, uh, think we should try find some where to stay the night..." said fluttershy as she noticed the sun falling in the sky. her gentle voice barely audible over the three ponies bickering. "Fluttershy is right y'all. we do need to get moving!" Applejack's words directed at the group, trying stop them arguing, completely failing as the grope continued rising in volume as they did so. she spoke again raising her voice this time "And I'll lead!" "what?" they said in unison. Applejack ignored this and began to walk out of the clearing. They realized what she was doing and began to follow her. emerald walking next to Tyson guiding him the correct way. applejack gave one last cheeky look at Thunder and Shadow "Eye's ahead soldier's no peeking..." she winked at shadow. "how dare you..." he started only to be stopped by Applejack giggling under her breath. the ponies had been walking about the forest for round about an hour now with no clue were they where. "Applejack we passed that bolder 5 times now. 5 times!" Thunder pointed out. "well sorry of i can navigate my way around an alien forest!" she snapped back. "i was just suggesting that maybe another pony should take the lead now. i mean to give you a rest..." "well i suppose that's not to bad an idea..." "can i have a go?" asked pinkie as her hoof shot into the air "please!?" "I don't think that's such a good idea..." applejack objected. "PLEASE!?" pinkie begged. "fine! just don't get us lost!" "As if we weren't all ready bucking lost already!" Rainbow Dash muttered. "Percy where did you put the coffee?" Kirk yelled as he searched through my backpack. "second pouch, right side, under my pocket guide to quantum physics!" i yelled back at him "don't finish it all! Oh and leave my spare fez!" he rummaged through the bag for a second before pulling out a tin of instant coffee. he measured out two teaspoons in to a black mug with the the phrase "give me fuel, give me fire, give me a fucking brake!" printed on the side. "you have a spare fez?" "not if you have anything to do with it!" "can i at least partially burn it?" "NO! I'm of to get some more fire wood with Sophie, if you touch it i will replace your testicles with your eyeballs! understood?" I turned around to leave the camp site with my sister in toe. "fine. but can i still have my coffee?" "do you really think you should be drinking coffee at this time it's almost midnight?" Sophie asked concerned for the friends health. "That's the exact reason i need the coffee! i just woke up remember?" "whatever. i'm going to catch up with Percy" Kirk shrugged filled up the kettle. "what was that about?" a gruff voice said. Kirk turned around to see lance walk out of his tent. "oh nothing just Percy and his fez's again." "oh, i'll go back to bed then." the kettle boiled. "finally" Kirk pored his coffee and took a big gulp."that's the stuff." he said as a large burp erupted from his mouth. 1 minute later... "PERCY! WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU PUT IN THE FUCKING COFFEE?" Kirk yelled from the clearing. "NOTHING!" i yelled back "WHY WHAT'S WRONG?" "JUST COME SEE! I THINK I'M TRIPPING!" i turned to Sophie "Do you mind if i go see what he's on about? he might have tried to overdose on my medication again, and we all know what happened last time he did that." i shuddered at the memory "i still fell sorry for that potato." "fine." she looked at the bundle of wood in her arms "i might as well come with you. between us i think we have enough fire wood for the night." "GUY'S I'M SERIOUS!" Kirk yelled "please help me!" We run for the camp site (if you can call it running it was more like a graceful plod. what you expect me to run with my arms filled with fire wood? shame on you!) only to be greeted by a group of Equine creatures. their facial expressions showed they were just as confused as us. Kirk turned to me "please tell me you can see them?" i slowly nodded "I can see them." The pink one open her mouth and spoke "HI! I'm pinkie pie who are you?!" I herd a thud behind me. Sophie had fainted. "It can fucking talk!" Kirk yelled as he muttered something about bad mushrooms. "'It' has a name!" the white one with a horn on her head said "and i would respect you to use it!" the bushes behind them where pushed aside and four more Equine creatures fell in to the clearing, making the number of these things add up to nine, four with wings, two with horns, and two with out and obvious features. I looked at the light gray Pegasus and frowned at it, I seamed to recognize it from somewhere. we each looked at each other and in unison pointed at each others hat "nice fez." the dark gray Pegasus and Kirk both face palmed/hoofed "what the fuck is it with the fucking fez's!" "Fez's are cool." the gray Pegasus and i spoke in unison as we straightened our respective fez's, his was a simple red with a black tassel and mine was printed with a military camouflage pattern. there was an awkward silence. I would expect Kirk to have tried to brake it but obviously he was to shocked. after 5 minuets i had, had enough "so..." they cyan Pegasus raised an eyebrow (if that was an eyebrow) "seriously? that's how you brake an awkward silence?" "Your right where are my manners. I'm Percy Hunter," i pointed at my sister "shes my sister Sophie Hunter but she appears to be having an unscheduled nap at the moment. that Over there is Kirk Fisher, Oh and in that tent is Lance Archer." i stuck out my hand and shook the orange pony's hoof. "and you are?"
