“INCOMING” I yelled as I tackled Spike behind a tree. Another pie slammed into the ground where Spike had just been. Pies began slamming into the tree at an alarming rate; I glance out from behind it and saw three distinct ponies launching pies at me. It was Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Twilight.
“I SUPPOSE THIS IS REVENGE FOR EARLIER?!”
“YEP!”
“GAME ON!” I opened all the nearby shadows to go straight to storage, slowly but surely I began to receive a steady supply of pies that hadn’t hit their target and hand landed in the shadows. I threw a pie back towards them; it landed right in between them.
“HA you’re a terrible thrower Jake!”
“Wasn’t aiming Dash!”
“What-”
*BOOM*
Amazing what you can do with a firework and some pie.
“I CALL IT THE BOOMBERRY PIE!” ha clever puns.
“That was terrible dude” I glared at Spike.
“Duly noted now where was I-” I turned back around the tree and got hit right in the face with a pie. I slumped back behind the tree.
“Spike go on without me aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh” and overly dramatic death scene, I could make this into a movie.
“Ok”
“Spike that was the part where you say something like no.”
“HAH GOT YOU” I looked up and saw Twilight staring down at me with a pie poised over head. In hindsight I probably should have been paying more attention to why the pies had stopped flying towards me. The only good news was it appeared my Boomberry had been successful because she was covered in various chunks of pie.
“Ummm truce?” the pie flew straight down into my face while Pinkie pied Spike.
“I’ll take that as a no then.” The girls were too busy giggling to have answered me anyways. I pulled out some black cloths for Spike and I and we wiped our faces of to the best of our abilities.
“We even now?” I looked over at Twi who was still giggling.
“Y-yes we’re even now”
“Well that’s good because-”
*SCRAWW*
I looked towards where the sound had come from, now normally strange sounds in the nights lead me to prepare for a zombie attack. But this sound had been filled with pain and sorrow, without even consciously thinking about it I was up and running towards the sound. I burst out into a clearing with the girls, and Spike close behind me. I quickly surveyed the scene but didn’t see any immediate threats. In fact the only thing I did see was a small dark creature huddled in a ball towards the edge of the clearing.
“Oh I’m so going to regret this” I muttered as I walked toward the creature. I got closer and saw that it was actually a small Phoenix, it had its head hidden underneath its arm and was shaking noticeably.
“Hey there little guy” I was trying my best to get it too calm down. It peered out from under its wing, saw me and instantly hid again while shaking even harder.
[Man you really are that ugly]
{Quiet you}
I took a good look at the phoenix; it looked just like the phoenixes had in the show except he was black and had green eyes.
{Weird looking bird}
[For all you know this is a normal phoenix]
{Good point}
*ROOOOOAAAARRRRR*
I froze and looked behind me. There was a manticore standing there looking at us like a dog at a steak. The girls froze not moving a muscle as I began to try and figure out how to escape. The phoenix squawked and somehow s began to shake even harder.
{Options?}
[Kill him, try and escape, distract him, or something stupid. Knowing you it’s probably gonna be the stupid one]
{Eeyup}
I reached into the shadow of my trench coat and carefully pulled out a pie.
“Jake you’re not going to do what I think you’re going to do, are you?” Twilight was whispering and glancing over at me worriedly.
“Twilight where would I even get a bulldozer?” I slammed the pie into the Manticore’s face.
*ROOOOOOOOOOAAAAAR*
I bent over and scooped up the phoenix, who was biting my hand pretty hard, and ran towards Twilight.
“Teleportation spell NOW!” I looked back over my shoulder and saw an angry manticore charging us. I whipped out my revolver and aimed right at its face. Suddenly I was engulfed by a flash of purple and the sensation of pins and needles in my stomach. I quickly looked around and saw we were back in the library.
{Cool, didn’t want to kill in front of ponies might just cracked their little minds}
[You killed in front of Twilight before]
{Yeah well I didn’t have a lot of choices and she doesn’t seem depressed or anything}
Somepony cleared their throat; I looked up and saw that I was now aiming my revolver at Rarity.
“Oops sorry.” I quickly holstered it and looked behind me to make sure everypony was there. They all appeared to be fine with the exception of Twilight who was swaying on her hooves.
“You ok Twi?” she looked over towards me in a stupor.
“Yeah sure never better.” Then she fell to the face ground. I rushed over to her and gave her a quick once over. She didn’t appear to have any wounds but just seemed to be sleeping.
“She probably just over did it with the teleport spell.” I glanced back over at Spike.
“She do that often?” he shrugged
“Only when she stays up too late studying and doesn’t get enough sleep.” I nodded and carried Twilight to her bedroom. I put her into her bed and tucked her in. she sighed blissfully as I headed back down stairs and saw the girls surrounding something on the ground.
I glanced over them and saw the Phoenix trying to hide under his wing; he had a bit of blood on his beak. I looked at my hand, it was a pretty deep cut but I didn’t think it was gonna do any damage. Unless it got infected in which case I was screwed. I need to see Fluttershy to get my arm patched up and see if there was anything she could do with this phoenix since it didn’t seem to like me.
“Sorry girls I’m gonna take this little fella to Fluttershy’s place and hopeful have her patch me up.” I raised my hand while saying that. They gasped and Spike threw me a rag which I thankfully wrapped around the cut. I was about to make some gloves for the phoenix when the little guy hopped on to my shoe.
{What the hell? He just bit me a minute ago!}
[Maybe he’s planning on finishing you off]
I looked down at the phoenix, who was looking at my shoe and shaking. I bent down and carefully picked him up. He made no attempt to bite me but was shaking in my hand. I brought him up to my eye level, he seem to glance at my eyes before looking down again.
{Maybe he feels guilty}
[He’s a bird how can he feel guilty?!]
{Dude we live in a world of talking ponies}
[Fair point]
I carefully placed the little guy on my shoulder, he looked over me confused I guess he had been expecting me to extract my revenge, which I had considered. I headed over to the door.
“See’ya girls, and Spike, I’m heading to Fluttershy’s place to get this looked at.” They all shouted their various goodbyes as I headed out. What I failed to hear was a weak sounding Twilight come out of her room and say
“Girls, can we talk about me and Jake?”
A/N: i need name suggestions for the phoenix!
