“NOOOO!” Suspicious Tumbleweed yelled. “Ghost!!!!”
The whole group came forward to the edge of the reformed cliff to see where the capitalist had gone to. However, nopony was able to see him. It was obvious he was now deep beneath the surface of the water.
“Did he died?” Asho asked. Suspicious immediately smacked him in the face. “Hey!” the Justin Bieber bean-and-cheese foal yelled out. “What was that for?”
Suspicious Tumbleweed didn’t say anything. She didn’t want to lecture Asho. At least not for now. Instead, she just stood there. The person who her moral life was based around was… gone. He probably drowned, that she knew for certain. Still, she didn’t want to lose hope. Especially not since they needed to complete their quest to…
Wait a second, what are we actually trying to accomplish with this freaking journey? she wondered. What are we here for, anyway? Why did John want to leave Ponyville? It was a nice place so there was no reason for him to flee… unless he desperately wanted to go to Sixth Street or something.
Equestrian Citizen picked up Ghost’s hat, which had fallen off his head when Ghost saved Asho. “Da nigga was maybe a fool, but…” he sighed, “…he did what was necessary. At this point, he proved that he wasn’t the self-indulgent racist bastard ah’ thought him to be.”
Suspicious Tumbleweed sighed.
And the only one here who doesn’t seem to realize that Ghost saved Asho is, well, Asho himself. She look a second at the foal, who was still looking deep down the river below. Or maybe he is, I don’t know. He is a weird kid to begin with.
The rain was starting to turn down a few notches in intensity, but didn’t stop. It didn’t look like it would stop raining for the next few hours either.
“Okay,” Suspicious Tumbleweed finally said. “We need to get out of here. Guys?”
The group looked at her, and one by one they obediently followed her. The loss of their leader fell hard on them all. Derpy Hooves was comforting Karasz Kun, and the Engineer wept in silence. Suspicious saw that, and went over him.
“Hey Engineer,” she said. “Are you all right?”
“nha-a-a-aagghaa…” the Engineer mumbled. Suspicious saw a loose tear in his eye. The Engineer really cared about Ghost, didn’t he?
Suspicious sighed. I wish I could understand what he is saying. I always did.
“Do you need a hand… I mean, a hoof?” Suspicious said, pointing a hoof to the cart the Engineer was pulling.
That seemed to delight the Engineer. “Nga-ah! Ja! Ja! Ja!”
Suspicous smiled, got the Engineer out of his harness and pulled it on herself. The cart was quite heavy, but she didn’t mind.
Oh, Ghost… She thought. Will we ever see you again?
Ghost fell into the water with a loud and strong smack. The pain from the fall shot through his pony body, making it almost limp. In desperation he tried to move around him to get back to top level, but somehow wasn’t able to. Then again, he wasn’t able to breathe in before hitting the water.
Even though he move strongly with his hooves around, he didn’t seem to dive upwards. That was partially because he was dizzy from the impact. He saw how he fell down to the bottom of the river.
Then, all of a sudden, a huge bubble appeared around him. Ghost opened his mouth, and realized he was able to breathe again. He gasped for air and was relieved that this bubble wasn’t a hallucination. He took a moment to take in his surroundings. He was still underwater, surrounded by this gigantic bubble.
What in the name of Johnny Walker is going on here?
Ghost looked around him and saw that some sort of sea horse was standing… or hovering… in front of him.
“uh…” the sea horse said to himself, “how did that little song greeting go again…”
The sea horse then faced Ghost. “Sho… shoo ba… doo… shooo shooo bie… something… doo…”
Ghost was confused by the sight of this Sea Horse. “Who the hell are you?” He looked a bit better at the sea pony. “For that matter, what are you?”
“Well, I’m a sea pony, the most sexiest and slimiest creatures of all the land…” the sea pony said with a grin on his face. “But enough about me… who are you…?”
“I’m John Conquest, king of capitalism! You should be in awe, you fruity… something!” Ghost yelled at him.
The sea pony looked up, surprised but also entertained. “John Conquest? The John who killed McCain’s image?”
“DON’T PULL THAT ONE ON ME!” Ghost yelled. “HE WAS BACKSTABBED BY THE LIBERAL MEDIA PIPELINE AND…” he then he realized something. “How do you know me?”
The sea pony seemed rather amused. “Really? The legendary Ghost? How quaint to meet you, good sir. I’ve always wanted to see you in person… or, in pony…”
Where do I know this guy from?
“We really should get acquainted. We will be the best of pals, you and I,” the sea pony said. “I want to swirl and screech my glibbery body against your pony body,”
THIS CAN’T BE!
“It will be totally legit!”
NO!
“O my!”
NOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ghost began to move around. “Get away from me you…. You freak! It really was something, huh? I should’ve known better! I should have known better than come here to Bronyland and not expect you fruity bastard to be here and…”
“You may want to stop that,” the Tub Guy said. “You will be bursting your bubble!”
“And I will be bursting yours, you freak! You will never get the weird fetishes executed that you so hard desire! And now, get me out of here!”
Tub Guy frowned. “You’re no fun….”
“Of course I’m not fun! I’m as serious as a heartbeat! Now get me out of here!”
Tub Guy hesitate for the moment, but obeyed and started to drag his bubble upwards to the surface. “We’ve left the river,” he said. “We’re in a small lake now. That will make it easier to get you to shore.”
Ghost faced Tub Guy. That sick fruit…
“You know,” Tub Guy said, “I still want to use my slime against your body. It will be totally legit!”
“Shut up. Just get me out of here,” Ghost said, unamused.
“All right, all right.”
Ghost started wandering something. “Are you the only sea horse thing? Where are the rest of your kind?”
“A group picked me up the day after I came here,” Tub Guy explained. “They left me behind though. They said that sea ponies aren’t slimy and that they barely used slime. As some sort of sperm or something. But anyway, I have a lot of it!”
“Well, keep it for yourself!” Ghost shouted at him.
The two arrived at the shore, and the bubble bursts directly afterwards. Ghost climbed ashore, while Tub Guy (of course) stayed in the water.
“I need to find the others,” Ghost said.
“Others?” Tub Guy asked.
“Yeah… Suspicious, Asho, Equestrian Citizen and his daughter, NavyHuskie that troll and the Engineer of course. We’re finding a way home, out of this fruitness land.”
“Oh…” Tub Guy said. He pondered for a bit, and then asked,
“Can I join you? It will be totally legit, my good sir!”
