//------------------------------// // Chapter 6 part 2 (Stealth Rider) // Story: Stealth // by CoconutSwirl //------------------------------// Stealth Rider has been walking through town with Celestia for a while now and doesn’t even know if they’re going in the right direction. “out of all of the episodes you’d think they’d actually have vinyl on for more than 1.986 seconds..” he mumbled as they passed sugarcube corner. Celestia pretended not to her him. Stealth saw a pink blue out of the corner of his eye and slowly tuned around to see a pink mare with a cotton candy (mane cut?) She jumped towards him saying “hii’mpinkiepieandisawyouwalkingthroughtownwiththeprincessandihadthisssparecupcakesoithoughtyoumightlikeitso..” she sucked in a huge breath. “here you go.” She said letting out all her air and reaching her hoof out with the cupcake balancing on it. “um…” Stealth said as he tried to process this from half a mile away. Celestia looked back at the two when she finally noticed Stealth wasn’t walking beside her. “ hello Pinkie Pie its nice to meet you but I must get Mr Rider here to Ms Scratch’s house, would you know the way?” Pinkie dropped the cupcake and started bouncing all around the two yelling “ I know the way I know the way cause I know where everypony lives, EVERYPONY!!” Stealth put his cuffed his ears onto his head to block out the sound and so did Celestia. “ well Pinkie could you please guide us.” The Princess asked the earth pony. Pinkie Nodded furiously as she was jumping up and down and pointed almost randomly 3 houses down from Sugarcube corner. “ there it is!!” she yelled throwing her head back. “ I Win! Can we play another game?” she asked. Celestia looked over at the house and back to Pinkie. “ I know a game pinkie.” Pinkie stopped bouncing and looked over to the Princess. “ ooh is it Uno I Love Uno!!” she yelled into the night sky. Celestia looked at the madmare. “ um no its not.. Uno, its call Bed Time.” She said Pinkie Pie looked at the ground. “already? But its only, 6.. 7… 8.. NIGHT TIME!” “but that’s bed time. Urgh.. time Ms Pie.” Stealth said as he walked over to the mare. “oh ok.. see you guys after the game!” she said and then jumped into the air and seemingly disappeared, until a light flicked on and off in one of the upper rooms of Sugercube corner. A couple minutes pasted and the two just stood there silently until Celestia broke the ice. “your not confused? Or even worried about her health?” she asked Stealth. Stealth frowned, “ I thought I explained that I know most things about this world.” He said. Celestia nodded “ that you did but it still confuses me how you can be so calm when something like that happens.” “I may have emotions but I’m still machine and I can do what I will with my new body and I chose to not freak out.” He looked at the ground. “ that and I was thinking of something.” Celestia raised an eyebrow “about what?” she asked. “um..” he said. [should I tell her about fanfiction?] he thought. “nothing you should concern you mind with.” He replied. “ok then, we should get over to Ms Scratch’s house now.” She said. “agreed I cant wait to see her in person, even though I’ve only idolised her for.. 4.96784329671 hours..” Celestia frowned then shrugged it off. The two walked over to a light brown/yellow house with a light wooden brown roof. {probably made of wood just shows you how imaginative I am.} The plants out the front were dead and the mail box was stuffed with mail that wasn’t even addressed to this house. There was also a slight stench coming from inside the house, and being only knew to this idea of smelling things Stealth almost puked at the first waft of it. “Shutting down sense 4 ‘Smell’” an automated voice said. “what was that Rider?” Celestia asked him. “oh nothing just some safety precautions for when that door opens.” He said. Celestia nodded in agreement because she knew what he could do with his new body. {she made it her rules!} As they reached the door Stealth stopped and Celestia walked all the way up to the door and knocked. *knock knock knock* “eurhhh go away I’m trying to sleep!” someone yelled from upstairs, presumably Vinyl herself. Celestia frowned, “ bit rude its not even really that late.” She said to Stealth then looked up at the second floor “ its Princess Celestia! Ms Scratch I’d like to speak to you with important business.” She yelled up to her. A brief “oh horse apples” was heard and the rush of hooves trotting across wooden floorboards coming closer and closer until. *SLAM* “Oh BUCK!” The Door Glowed a light blue colour and swung open to reveal a white mare with a long spiky mane almost like Stealth’s but a blue and (black?) colour. {research needed, GO EDITOR!} The mare bowed “ I’m sorry for not coming quicker your majesty I should’ve known it was you.” She said. “that’s quite alright Ms Scratch, its not everynight I visit ponyville.” The princess replied. “woah.. Scratch..” Stealth mumbled. Vinyl got up and asked “ what is it you want from me Princess?” “well as you can see my friend here..” she motioned towards Stealth who waved slightly with his hoof. “he’s been brought here under interesting circumstances along with 3 friends of his and we’re finding places for them to live and we were wondering if you had a place for him?” “well.. I have a mattress Octavia used last time we had a sleep over so you could sleep on that.” Vinyl awnsered. “cool I’m fine with that.” Stealth said. Celestia looked at him and then back to Vinyl “ ok well I trust you can explain the situation to Ms Scratch when you feel comfortable, Mr Rider.” Stealth nodded still staring at Scratch who was now staring back. “with that I guess I’ll see you two ponies later I need some sleep, goodnight.” Celestia said before a bright flash and she was gone. Vinyl looked at Stealth, “are you gonna stop gawking at me and coming in?” she said steping aside so he could walk through. He shook his head, “I was not gawking I was lost in though..” he said as he accepted the invite and walked into the house. Inside the house were music instruments of all shapes and sizes and equipment pilling up to the celling. Stealth was looking around at all the musical equiptment and Vinyl saw him doing so. “sorry I’m overstocked at the store.. not many ponies play so I bring it here for friends to use when they come over.” She said. “that’s alright, I absolutely love music so I couldn’t be happier.” Stealth replied. “hmm.. sounds like you’ll be right at home here then, this place was built for music and I’ve made some of my best songs in here.” “sorry but I don’t think your best songs will match against my favourites.” Stealth said Grinning from ear to ear. “Mabye but now we sleep I’m to tired to talk much longer.” {because I’m to tired to type much longer} “ok Vinyl, my names Stealth Rider by the way.” He said. “cool you already know mine so I’ll see you in the morning” she said as she walked upstairs. Stealth walked over to what looked to be the lounge room. [ oh please let the mattress be here. Curse me for not asking her first.] Lucky for him it was and he went over and sat down and set his battery on hibernate only to wake him if he senses movement in a 5metre radius of his pony body or another object moving faster than 100kmph. Ok guys we have finished this one I am so tired, cover art needs to be smaller. I made it background size for no reason what so ever.. I’m getting a editor :) fun times ahead for us.
