"Don'tcha remember last night kid? I asked you not to sit at my clean tables." The bartender said leaning on the bar cleaning a tumbler glass with a rag. I looked around and memories form last night came flooding back. "Yeah, I remember." "What'cha doing back here?" "I needed a place to sleep, and saw the sign. I didn't even realize that I was here already until you brought it up." "You need a place to sleep? Well then you've come to the right place!" "How much for a night? I ask. "Well normally, it's 200 bits a night with free breakfast in the morning and two drinks at night, but with that cutiemark I know who you are." "What-what do you mean? "Well I'm kinda into that sorta music 'cuz of my daughter... Well actually i think it's terrible, no offence, but she likes it and she has shown me pictures of you, but i didnt know it was you 'till I saw yer cutiemark" "Uhhh..." "Don't worry 'bout it, jus' follow me, I'll explain when we get upstairs." Barley looked at a big red earthpony making out with Hey Big, stop mackin' on your coltfriend* fer a second an' watch the bar. "Shuddup Bar." He said in a very joking way. "Fancy an' me had to take a bunch o' shit for this tah work an' that singin' pop lady had tah make a song about us, it was really embarrassing ." "Oh honestly Big Mac, he was obviously joking," Big Mac's partner tried to tell him. "you need to, as you say, chill out." "I aint ever said that!" Big Mac looked at him. "What ever. Obv-" He was interrupted "I don't mean to get in the middle o' this, but you're the only one I'd trust tah watch the bar, and I kinda need tah show this kid tah his room." He pointed at me. I stood there awkwardly. "Yea, right." He said begrudgingly. "Aight follow me and ah'll show you to yer room." He takes me to the back of the of the building then leads me upstairs. He hands me a key and says. "Don't loose this, you only git one." I took the key and put it in my saddlebag. He opened the door and invited me in. We walked through the house and we enter the kitchen and sitting there was another earthpony with a maroon coat, a blond mane, and a golden goblet as a cutiemark. "This is my lovely wife Sangrial." Barley said to me. "Its is nice to meet you, my name is Deejay Prince." I say extending my hoof. "Charmed." she said grabbing my hoof and shaking it gently. "Alright, let's go to yer room" I fallow the amber colored pony down a hallway to a small room with two other doors a bed and a dresser. "So ummm..." I stutter " Are there any specific rules I should know about?" "Yeah, don't piss in the hallway. You have a bathroom for that." He seemed annoyed. "Okay, thanks." I said to him as he walked away. I backed away awkwardly into my room and shut the door behind me. I took a better look at my surroundings. I walked to the first door and I opened it, it was a small closet with shelves going up one side of it. I took my saddle bag and threw it in there, and it hit the back of the shelf with a clang. *BANG BANG BANG* "Keep it down in there!" I leave my room and walk to the door of my neighbor. I knock on the door. A cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane opened the door, and looked me over quickly sizing me up. "Umm... Hello?" She said with an expression of sadness on her face "Hi, I Just came over to apologize for making such a huge noise earlier." "Yea, okay." She closed the door in my face I sighed and shrugged it off. On my way back to my room I hear another voice. "Hey Sugar cube, come back." I turn around and see an orange pony with a hat covering up her hair. I walk over to her. She is standing outside of the room with the door closed. "I'm sorry 'bout her, she's been under a lot of pressure lately, and..." "Don't worry about it." I say cutting her off mid-sentence. "I know exactly how that feels, and I am glad she has a friend like you to comfort her" "Now why can't I talk to him like that... Oh... "Now I don't mean to be rude, but I reckon you DON'T know how it feels." She was annoyed. "How do you figure? You don't know me, nor my situation." "May I present a rebuttal? GO FU-" "Ohmigawsh AJ Shut up!" The cyan pegasus interrupted. I knew that something bad was going to follow so I left. I locked the bedroom door as I pass. "Look what you did AJ. He was just trying to be nice and you scared him off..." I closed the door behind me effectively ending the conversation for me. "I need some time for myself and if i stay in my room they are just gunna badger me." I make my way towards the exit when I hear the rainbow haired pegasus. "I'M GOING TO FIND THAT GUY AND I WILL MAKE YOU APOLOGIZE TO HIM!" She slammed the door so hard that it shook the foundation. I sprinted at the exit but Mac and Fancy were blocking it with their bodies. "Fuck..." I said to myself. I pushed the coltcuddling couple out of the way, unfurled my wings and took to the sky. I flew faster then i have ever done before. the feathers on my wings started to make weird high pitched noises that seemed to get deeper the faster I went. Soon my ears started to hurt and over the sound of the wind the noise broke through. The sound my feathers were make, was pure bass. When the bass was perfect time slowed down and everything had so much detail. I could see the sound waves pulsating off of my body distorting the air, blasting away clouds, shattering windows, blowing the leaves right off of the branches. I look at the wave of sound I made behind me and see a small spark erupt into a giant circle of color. About one thousand feet behind me I see that rainbow pegasus. "No! It can't be! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" I screamed. I went faster, and the pitch got deeper. Fortunately I was away from any ponies by now, because I saw trees splinter as I pass, the ground was being carved by the bass. I look back. "Less then five hundred feet!" I try to go faster and succeed. the sound I create breaks the sound barrier and goes ahead of me. Looking forward now i see a mountain looming in the distance. "I can't turn..." I see my life flash before my eyes. I brace myself for impact but it doesn't come. I charged through the mountain using the power of the bass. Then something grabbed me. I wake up on a cloud. "UGGHH!" I grunt out of massive pain. "IT HURTS EVERYWHERE!" I yell. I hear a muffled voice. "Shhh shhh shhh, calm down, shhh, it's ok, be still." Things went dark. I wake up again, though this time to the faint sound of rushing water. I try to sit up, but i do it to quickly and my ears begin to ring and I fall back down. "Kid? Are you okay?" The muffled voice said. "WHAT?!" She blows cold air into my ears. the ringing goes away instantly. "Are you okay?" She repeated. "Yeah, I think so." I sat there for a second. "Who are you?" "Oh yea. Sorry about not introducing myself earlier, I am Rainbow Dash the greatest flier in all of Equestria. "Who?" "Ever hear of a sonic rainboom?" "That's just a myth." "Nuh-uh, I did it... Twice." "Yeah, okay..." I taunt jokingly. "Hey umm..." "My name is Deejay." "Deejay, heh makes sense." "What does?" I ask. "Your cutiemark, duh" "Oh, right." "Hey, I am sorry for the way Apple Jack treated you, she usually isn't like that. I honestly don't know what got into her." "It all happened kinda fast." "What did you guys talk about?" Rainbow Dash asked "She was telling me that you were stressed and I said 'I know how that feels', and she was like 'Fuck you, you don't' and you tell her to shut up. Which was awesome by the way. Then you guys started arguing and I'm like 'Abandon thread'." she laughed at this point. "Then I walk away while you guys were arguing. When I got down stairs I hear you yell 'YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE HIM!'". She was crying she was laughing so hard. " And I was all 'Fuck dis I'm out' and knocked over these two coltcuddlers. I broke the sound barrier, then i broke the wub barrier, then the wub barrier broke the sound barrier, then I blew a hole in a mountain, you caught me, I passed out, *inhale* And that was how...(pause for dramatic effect) we got were we are now. "Hmmph pfttt BWAHAHAHAHA!!!" "That was a funny story Deejay, you's (you is) a funny guy, but I am going to have to agree with apple jack," she took on a more serious tone. " I really don't think you know how I feel." "Try me." *sigh* "Well, I kind of hurt somepony, well not me personally, but because of my inattentiveness somepony got hurt." "Physically or emotionally?" I ask "Both." her head drooped. "There, there, it's okay." I put hoof on her shoulder. "I know it's hard to believe, but I do know how you feel." "What happened?" "To be honest I was so distracted by his flank that I didn't hear them call him a blank fag." "That doesn't seem so bad." "Then they threw boiling hot water at him." "Oh my Celestia! Is he ok?" "That's the worst part, I don't know." "WHAT!? That's awful, he is your friend isn't he?" "Yeah, and I find him attractive, but this all happened yesterday mind you." "Wait, are you gay?" "You mean you didn't pick up on that eight sentences ago?" "Wha- *realization* Oh, hehe you did kind of drop a big hint didn'tcha" "I'm perfectly okay with that," she continued. " I am too." "I couldn't have guessed." I lied. "Really?" "Yeah. Just one question though. Who with if anyone? Apple Jack?" "Yeah..." "Do you think that maybe is why she is being a little over protective of you?" "You're probably right." "So... Do I have to let her apologize to me?" She gave me a death stare. "Yes." *referencing that whole section with a fan fic by Midnight Legend Press called "Charmingly Rustic"
