Torn Between Two Worlds

Chapter 10.5

Oh, god. You will not believe what just happened. I don't know if I should be worried or laughing.

Twilight relinquished the computer to Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash while she helped me cook dinner, and the other girls were watching tv.

After about a half hour of cooking and talking happily with Twilight, I noticed an eerie silence. We both turned to look at the girls, and Dash and Pinkie were staring blankly at the computer screen.

"What are you girls doing?" Twilight asked them. The other girls crowded around the two to read what was on the screen.

"Reading." Pinkie replied in a near whisper. I only smirked and shook my head, turning around to chop some vegetables.

"Reading what?" Twilight then asked, and I heard her walk over to the others.

"...A story." Pinkie then said, and I couldn't help but detect a hint of fear in her voice. I perked my head up in fear, and waited for someone else to speak.

"What about?" Rarity asked, and I heard her gasp.

"Us." Pinkie replied hoarsely. Oh, god. They were reading a fanfic. I was praying it wasn't a shipping fic.

"Wow, you're almost done already? What kind of story is it?" Fluttershy asked curiously. I turned, and noticed only Dash and Pinkie were staring at the screen with horrified looks.

Oh, god, no.

"What's it called?" Twilight asked, approaching the group. "...What kind of story name is 'Cupcakes'?" She asked.

OH, GOD, NO.

I dropped the knife and darted over to the others, and swiped the laptop, but it was too late. Judging by the placement of the page, they had either just finished it, or missed the last few sentences.

"Oh, god, girls, I'm so sorry!" I said quickly, placing the laptop on the floor and kneeling down to meet the gaze of the two horrified girls. Pinkie instantly wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash, and began crying hysterically.

"Dashie, I'm so sorry, I would never do any of those things to you, I love you too much, and I..." She continued on rambling apologies and different assortments of love, and Applejack, grabbing the laptop without my notice, gasped.

"What in the hay?! Who would write such an awful, horrible thing?!" She cried out in anger, after just reading a few sentences.I snatched the laptop and exited out of the window.

"Pinkie, it's alright! It wasn't real, I know you wouldn't do any of those things!" Dashie said, trying to calm her crying friend. Dashie had taken it a lot better than I expected. I turned my attention back to Applejack and shrugged.

"The dude has a twisted mind," I replied simply. From what I heard, Dashie managed to calm Pinkie down, though she was still sniveling. I sat next to Pinkie and hugged her as well, and she happily accepted the embrace. I patted her back, noticing that, just like in the show, her hair had somehow lost it's bounce and curl, and was a bit grayer. "It's alright, Pinkie. It was just a made-up story. We all know you love your friends," I said soothingly.

"He's right, Pinkie! Look, I'm fine!" Dashie said, giving her friend a smile and a comforting hand to the shoulder. Pinkie's hair poofed back to life, and she smiled back at everyone else, but wasn't all full of energy.

"You're...You're right," She said with another sniffle, before smiling even wider. "You're right! It's just a silly story!" She then said, grabbing the laptop and laughing, along with the others.

"What was it about?" Fluttershy asked me.

"You seriously do not want to know." I replied. The look I gave her was enough to satisfy her question, and she nodded.

"From now on, do not read anything about you six without coming to me first," I told them.

"What about...What about Sweet Apple-" Applejack began, before I took the laptop away from her again.

"NO!" I yelped. She gave me a curious look, before I sighed. "Applejack. I'm saying because I love you, do not. Please. On all that is good, do not read any of this garbage, Please, I'm begging all of you, trust me." I pleaded.

"AJ, ya might wanna listen to him. After seeing what this internet holds, I wouldn't take any chances," Rainbow Dash said with a serious look. AJ nodded.

"Alright. I trust ya," She said with a smile, removing her hat and placing it on the arm of the couch. I sighed, and joined Twilight back in the kitchen.

That was a horrible experience.
