"Through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!"
As the song ended I made a decision to NOT do that again. "*huff huff* Was that necessary?!"
"Sorry! I never heard you three sing rock before in all these years, thought it was a great test for your gems. Sounds like you three can sing anything!"
So many years in the past, its not funny.
"Hey, Adagio?"
"Yes PJ, what is it?" Adagio said in an aggravated tone. The year is still unknown, but the fillies we knew grew up some into their teens... I guess? Either that or they're little mares.
"Excuse- Is it true that you three are finally graduating from your school?" PJ asked a little smile on his face.
"Yes we are. We're also getting a music scholarship at a collage near the castle."
"For realsies, its going to be great!" Sonata said with a hoof in the air and a smile.
"Yeah, sure. We leave one prison and go to a bigger one, sooo much FUN!"
"Hey Adagio, what's wrong?" I asked and she looked back at me with a glare.
"What do you mean? Nothings wrong."
"Yeah somethings wrong. Just a week ago you started acting like Aria on a bad day!"
"What?"
"There's something on your mind, it only helps to vent your anger before something makes it worse."
"Like what? A music-filled rainbow of death destroying our gems?"
"Sonata... what?! That doesn't sound like anything that could happen, like, ever!"
"And I was going to say 'a bacon haired girl sings you to your doom' or something."
"That sounds like it could happen!"
Aria and Adagio facehoofed at what was being discussed and I resisted joining the conversation. Why? My brother freaking about "Rainbow Rocks" and "Not Again" when I was on Earth.
"You know how about some slow, deep breaths as I play 'Dearly Beloved'? Its nice song to listen to as we calm down and talk things out."
Adagio then drowns out the music with "Bad Apple" and shruggs.
"Umm... OK, we listen to that? Sounds angry."
For a moment a familiar tune could be heard as we turned our focus at Sonata. She wore head phones while listening to a familiar leaking tune. We continued having a conversation with two songs playing. Two different tones clashing with everyone sitting and listening.
"I think we should turn off the music-" PJ said reaching for my mp3. I moved it away from his reach.
"Sorry, but something is up. Nopony's music ends 'till we get to the bottom of the barrel."
"Or you just accept nothing is wrong. Besides, I'm pretty sure you're useless now."
"What? Useless how?" I asked, her words struck me in my heart.
"Sonata will probably need your help, but me and Aria are done."
"Is that what this is about? Mentorship drama? We don't even know what we're doing, it was all you! All we did was sit back, judge, and support you. You three could've walked away anytime."
"More evidence that we don't need you. Look, Sonata and I thought of you two as friends now me and Aria just look at you two for who you really are. Losers."
"That's harsh. I don't see that." I summoned a ball of slime then replaced it with a torch. I then tossed the torch and swapped it out for a sword. I then killed myself with the sword and ran back to where I killed myself shocking the three. The music was gone and PJ shook his head.
"Can a loser do that?" I asked retrieving my items, "A loser. Losers don't exist, bullies exist. Those words were nothing, but mean. Do you see me as a friend or a nothing? I don't know where this is going-"
"What just happened?!" Aria cried looking at both mes.
"I can't die. Neither can PJ, if you plan on using that knife to end us then good luck."
"Knife?!!" Sonata cried, dropping the mp3 as she stood from her spot.
"I saw wanted posters. 400 bits if dead, 20 if alive. Well, here's a body. Give it to them for all I care now."
"Well this escalated quickly. To the readers: WTB just happened?!"
I'm trekking through the Everfree looking for Freddy. In one ear is an ear bud connected to one of my mp3s on shuffle. I cringe as the songs change to one I rather not listen to. I turn it off and pocket it. Using my parkour skills acquired from Spider and Box DNA, I started hopping from tree to tree. Sort of like a ninja?
Taking out my iPhone I open a line. "Great Leader. Great Leader. This is the Runner, copy."
"I though we agreed that I was 'moon moon'."
"Its for me, though I never agreed to code names."
"Book Fort to Assistant."
"Sorry Twi, Spike had to relieve himself. Apple Turnover over."
"Sky to Egghead, everything's clear."
"Don't report to me Dashie! Egghead out."
What monster have I made.
"'Egghead'? I thought you were 'Pie'!"
"No that's Inky Pie!"
"Rock to Sky and Egghead. I'm Rock. Boulder says he smells our enemies will contact results ASAP. Rock out."
"Runner to Egghead, I didn't know Inky was here."
"Ruby to Runner. She volunteered to track Freddy down."
"The handsome one to all who care, I'm Pie. I don't see any- Oh, hello. Pie to Runner check your seven and run."
I look over my left shoulder, perched on a tree far off is a golden bear with a tiny black top hat. He has metallic wings on his back and his mouth hangs open with no visible eyes.
"Great Leader to Runner. I forgot to mention, if you see Golden Freddy don't stare at him."
"Pie to Runner. Are you deaf? Run!"
"Rock to Great Leader, G.F. is at sniping range."
"Apple Turnover to Rock. Sniping range? Like you have a gun or something?"
The tree was knocked over by a huge rock, but Golden teleported away.
"No rocks. Rock ou- Rock to Egghead, I think I'm about to die. Rock and Boulder out. for... ever. Tell Maud to forgive me!"
"Inky, what's going on?! INKY!!!"
"Discord... What's going on?!"
"She challenged him. If she stops to talk she could die, somebody will have to find him to redirect the challenge."
"Lego, get her back. Runner runs. You stared at him and let that monster hunt her."
I hopped down from my tree and landed on a huge duck. That is not a duck.
"Runner to Book Fort. Why did the chicken cross the road?"
"This isn't the time, Jake!"
"Screw it. I just rear ended Chicka on my way to ground level and she sounds angry."
"Those three are minors. Foxy is a pro and Golden is a super major."
"Ten Four, Great Leader. Runner... just now spotted Foxy."
"Pie to Ruby."
"Ruby here?"
"I bet fourty bits he dies twice. No. Fifty times."
"High-ho Chicka away!!!"
"Apple Turnover to Runner. What the hay did you just say?!"
"I tamed Chicka and I'm converging on Foxy. Why? I need a faster steed."
"Oh my Tia! hahahaha!!! This is actually funny, he is riding that murder machine like a- He is an ape riding that chicken while chasing a fox."
"GET OVA HER!!!" I screamed in a scorpio voice.
"Ten bits he dies on that chicken."
"You can't hear Scootaloo, but we double if he makes it to Foxy."
"Rock to Egghead. The skies are getting brighter, I'm slowly leaving the darkness."
"INKY! Don't talk. Keep running!"
"Remind me to wipe everyone's minds of this disaster."
"Not me. I want to see you remeet Inky, but this time face to face or something. Like a picnic setting with rock candy."
"You can only do that with Maud! If I got my season right... Since Twilight is royalty, this-"
"Sky to Pie and Ruby. Ya owe me, cough it up!"
"Ruby to Sky. Darling, I didn't agree to this! Ruby out."
"By the way, since Box is leading and four of us are lookouts, what're Twilight, Luna, and Rarity doing? Also Spike and Apple Jack and whoever is on this line."
"Tree to Runner. We are preparing Ponyville and forest evacuation."
"Apple Turnover to Tree. One mention o' Freddy and Granny has more stamina than Big Mac and a bull with a pint of Red Bull in a rodeo! Thu gathering of food fer the evac. is worse than apple buckin' season and zap apple season together!"
"Runner to Apple. What season?! Woah there Foxy John Silver!! Anyway is it me or did night arrive early?"
"Moon Moon to Runner, its midday. What did you do?!"
"Oh I found Goldy Locks, now I have a hat and he's it. Or he might be ticked. He is a floating head with wires and fire?"
"He. Is. It? Are you playing with the ring leader?"
"Yeah. I jacked Foxy up with a speed potion and now we're horse racing this!"
"Ya what racin'?"
"Sorry. Start calling me a stupid ape. ... Not you Foxy Brown."
"Foxy Brown?"
"If its a reference, I still don't get it. Anyway is there a camera mod because I'm booping his nose with a wooden spear as we- never mind I lost the spear."
This went on for hours. Seriously, he is keeping this up for hours. Golden Freddy isn't stopping the chase anytime soon. We finally contacted Celestia to backup Luna to banish the machines to Tartarus. Jake didn't want to abandon Foxy, but the deed was done. Somehow he has a pictures of him with Chicka and Foxy while wearing Barn Raiser's stetson. The fool.
