Chapter 11

"Twilight? What are you doing here?" a voice woke up Twilight.
"Oh, hi Tony. Did I fall asleep?" Twilight grumbled.
Tony laughed, "Yeah. How long have you been here?"
"Since sunrise. I wanted to hang out with you today before the rumble."
"Well, thanks. I'm honored. Come on in." Tony unlocked the door and they went in. "So, how are you liking the big city?"
"I think it's very... different from Equestria. Hey, can I help you with work?"
"Of course! Anyone who is willing to work is great in my book! What about the Jets?"
"I'm just with them because I need to stay somewhere while I'm trying to figure out how to get back to Equestria."
"Can't you just teleport?"
"I tried but you can't just teleport from one dimension to another. But I'm sure I'll figure out something."
Tony started to clean the table when he turned to Twilight, "Oh, by the way, where did you go last night? I went to leave when I found you, Rarity and Fluttershy gone!"
"We left to meet the gangs at the war council. By the way, how did it go with her?" Twilight winked.
"It was great! You know that Maria is the person I love the most in my entire life!"
"What about your family?!" Twilight yelled.
"Oh, yeah. Them too."
Twilight laughed. "What are you going to do about Maria?"
"I'm going to meet her at the shop where she works at 6."
Twilight knew what would happen, but she still said, "Oh, dear Celestia Tony. You'll get caught!"
"So, what if do? I'm going at closing time, first of all. Second of all, I don't care if I do."
"Okay, your funeral..."
The door opened. Riff was standing in the doorway. "Twilight! What are you doing here? You're supposed to be with us. The others said you were touring the city."
"Why are you here?" Twilight asked.
"I wanted to see Tony! This is why I shouldn't have trusted you and let you in!"
Tony stepped in, "Come on Riff, let's be reasonable. Why did you want to see me?"
"I wanted to say I'm counting on you to be at the rumble. Please?"
Tony looked at Twilight. She nodded. He turned back to Riff, "Okay!"
"Womb to tomb?"
"Birth to earth!" They shook hands.
Riff turned back to Twilight, "As for you, Twilight Sparkle, if that's even your real name, I am very disappointed in you. Will you at least be at the rumble tonight?"
"Yes," replied Twilight "Sorry Riff."
"Whatever." He left.
Twilight shouted, "I hate him so much! Why is he so mean to me and my friends?"
"He has an enormous pride," Tony explained "Having girly rainbow ponies in his gang might threaten his cool factor. But don't worry Twilight. I think you're alright, no matter how girly you might look. You aren't really that girly at all."
Twilight started crying tears of joy, "Thank you Tony..." She leaped into his arms.
"Oh my gosh, is that the time?" Tony asked. It was 5:55. "I need to see Maria. Will you come with me Twilight?"
"I'd be more than happy to," Twilight answered "Let's go!"
