I was almost comfortable staying at the castle, almost. Most of the time it was okay, nut nothing ever happens around here most of the time its just nobles begging Celestia for crap they where to lazy to get. So naturally I took the best route available.
"Please, Pleasepleasepleaseplease!" Yep I was following Celestia around begging her to let me go stay in Ponyville, I had been at it for near three hours. "Ugh, fine you can go. BUT if I hear one whisper of you causing trouble I will come down there myself understand?" I nodded and she gave me a ticket for the train. "Thanks I won't disappoint." I hate having to beg but I can't just tell her I had most of my world killing power back, as much as I hate to say it...I like it here.
When I left the castle I was expecting a little mayhem, but no a few people even asked how I was doing. "Tch figures. I don't even scare them anymore."
I sat at the train station my mood slowly going back to it's normal angry self. I watched some of these idiots wander around, obsessed with their next paycheck. "Man Greed would love this town." "Yeah I would huh?" I jumped up and spun around, there sitting on the bench was a orange earth pony wearing an expensive suit with pockets filled to burst with coins and jewels. His greasy mane was a bluish color, and he kept sweeping it over. "Long time no see, brother."
Now I always hated Greed'es sleazy attitude but seeing him on par with my power nearly broke me. "Man Wrath, heh you ain't lookin so good." He stepped down of the bench. "Like the look? I don't. But hey what can a guy do? Oh bye the way Pride says you've got four weeks until he's ready to storm the castle and claim his new title." with a flip of a coin he disappeared. I flopped down on the bench and rubbed the bridge of my nose. "Shit like this is why I hate the world."
At about nine the train rolled in, I handed my ticket to the conductor and boarded the train. I sat close to the last car as far from the pones as possible, I don't know why but the only ponies I feel comfortable around was Celestia, and Pinkie. Well I could probably get away with saying I was sort of calmer around Celestia because she basically represents the sun, which is a ball of fire. And I like fire alot. I tried to get a good view from the window but for Christ's sake the damn train is just to small. I sighed and got as comfortable as possible.
When I arrived I was Greeted by six mares smiling deviously. "Oh man what now?" We ended up walking back to the library to discus my housing options and to 'Meet four very special ponies.' I was cautious, but I was kinda curious too.
~_______________________________________________________________~
I regret being curious now, I had been led to my doom. When I saw the library I was reluctant to go in, I am a walking furnace after all. But Twilight told me it would be fine. I was the last one to walk in and was immediately tackled by the same mint green unicorn from the last time I was in town. "Ohmygoshohmygosh! A human oh Bon Bon you can eat it because ~I am not crazy!~" she had started dancing around on my chest in circles, I couldn't really feel it but it was kind of annoying. "Excuse me-" I grabbed her by the scruff. "- but I would like to stand up." I lifted her up and deposited her onto a couch near me, don't ask me why a library had a couch.
"Twilight mind introducing me to this mare please?" I pointed to the mint mare obsessing over where my hand had touched her.
"Her names Lyra heartstrings, and she has been talking about humans for years, and it just so happens you match her descriptions almost perfectly." The girls had sat down, while spike ran off to brew tea.
I decided to sit Indian style across from them. While I was chatting with them some one snuck into the library, namely three fillies.
"CUTIE MARK MONSTER HUNTERS YAY!" I nearly went deaf when they jumped onto my shoulders trying to knock me over. Would have been surprising if they could. "Hmm if I had to guess you three are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, that I have been hearing about from Twilight?" The three fillies froze, stared up at me and nodded slowly. I smiled I had always had a soft spot for kids, Picking up the yellow one I placed her behind my head. Then I grabbed the other two and put them on my shoulder, orange on the left white on the right.
"So what are your names?" I glanced at the mares standing beside me trying to judge their reactions to my sudden friendly demeanor. Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow dash. I assumed they had some sort of connection to these fillies, relatives maybe?
"Ah,m Applebloom." "I'm Sweetie Belle." "And, I'm Scootaloo." I tried to hold in a grin but damn it all, they are just to cute. Some old part of Me all beaten down inside was just loving these kids to pieces, which made the rest of me want to gag.
"So girls now that introductions are over how about we get down to businesses. I need a place to stay any ideas?" They all shared some sort of look until.
"Not it!" five voices called out...where was the sixth?
"Not it!" Ah there it is. they all turned toward Rainbow Dash. "Ah geez can he even walk on clouds?"
Walk on clouds?
~_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________~
"Okay this is a bad idea, why did I agree to this?" Rainbow and Fluttershy were holding me a few feet over RD's porch, which was made of clouds. "Oh come on you big baby its not that high up." I glared at the prismatic pegasus. "Say the girl with wings!" She just rolled her eyes. She looked to Futtershy. "Ready? One...Two...THREE." I only dropped about three feet before I landed on what felt like a wet pillow.
I stood up marveling at the texture while the girls- Who where in a hot air balloon -discussing how to add an extra room to the cloud house. Are they drifting higher? Oh its me
...
"Girls?"
...
"Girls!"
...
"GIRLS!"
"WHAT" They all yelled in unison. then noticed I was just a head sticking out of the clouds. "When you come down to make sure I'm not dead, please bring a towel, I'd rather not be covered in blood." Then I popped out of the cloud...on the wrong end.
