Taking all suggestions for a title for this chapter. [In the market in Ponyville.] I walked around aimlessly. Damn. I should have asked the CMC or Carrot Top for directions...Wait are they technically the CMC now? What should I call them now? I lost my train of thought when I spotted a familiar figure at the flower stand. Oh. So that is where Daisy's stand is. "Hey Shadow Breeze," I said realizing he held some flowers in his mouth. "Hng Basch," Shadow replied through the flowers with a smile. I noticed the flowers were more specifically of a romantic sort. A knowing smile came to my face as I asked teasingly," Who are the roses for Shadow?" Shadow's grin was replaced by one of nervousness. Before he could reply I continued with my teasing,"They are for Fluttershy, aren't they?" Shadow's jaw dropped and the flowers began to fall.[I got you now!] I began to try to dive for the flowers when I noticed somethings strange. I could have sworn I had seen a black tentacle come 'out' of Shadow's shadow but when I rubbed my eyes it looked like Shadow never dropped the roses. Before I could ask what the fuck Shadow simply nodded and ran away. [That is right. Run away and never return!] I looked to the stand and sure enough there was Carrot Top with a disapproving look on her face. "You did not have to tease him, you know?" she said disapprovingly. I shrugged, "I was only joking with him," I claimed pretending I was offended by her comment. "What am I going to do with you?" she asked hopelessly.. "What time is our break?" I asked ignoring her question raising a seductive brow. Her eyebrows twitched. Oh yeah. I just pissed her off. "Mine is," she began looking at a watch [I didn't even know other ponies than Adven even had watches!]"now." She began to take off the apron she was wearing. [Don't ask me why she was wearing one. I just don't know!] I began to blush a dark crimson as she 'undressed' herself. "Wait I don't know anything about flowers!" I yelled waving my arms wildly emphasizing my point. [Always remember to wave your arms crazily to emphasis a point of yours.] Carrot Top rolled her eyes and said," Daisy will tell you everything you need to know." She then proceeded to walk away. "Where are you going anyway?" I asked with a brow raised. She breathed a heavy sigh," To my garden of course." "Why are you going there?" I asked still not understanding. She facehoofed and then she indicated her flank. Mmmmmmmm that flank. Then I noticed her cutie mark and remembered why her name was Carrot Top and then I double facehoofed. [ For those who don't know what a double facehoof is think of facehoofing into another facehoof.] "Riiiiiiiiiiight," I said waving my goodbye. She walked a few steps and then turned back to blow me a kiss. Needless to say I blushed and grabbed the airborne kiss. It is my precious! [Get your own!] [Later.] I met Daisy and boy was she a busy body pony. And she wanted me to be just as busy. Luckily I was given a fifteen minute break. If it had not been for my master's training I may have not survived as long as I have today. I decided to walk around ponyville for a bit until I came across a familiar dark grey pegasus. "Hey Shadow, what is up?" I hollered at him enthusiastically. [I like doing things with energy ok? Makes things more meaningful.] Shadow had jumped from my shout because well I kind of snuck up on him. [I told you guys I was a ninja, especially you Steve!] He relaxed once he saw it was me. "Hey Bass, um..would you know where Fluttershy is? I have been looking all day for her," he said desperately. Man, this guy has it bad. "No, sorry bro," I said instantly regretting my choice of words because he instantly slumped down. "That is ok, I guess," he said depressed. Oh. Hell no! You better not cry! Unfortunately a single tear traced down his face. Argh you did it! Now I got to help! "I thought you were going to give her those flowers. Did you try her cottage?" I asked helpfully. Shadow sighed. "I was going to but then when I went to her cottage she wasn't there." "Tell you what I will do for you. I will go ask Shadic if he has seen her he tends to well see everything. At least when he is not napping." I chuckled at my joke. [It is funny because it is true.] "Thanks," he answered weakly. Before he could slump down again I grabbed his hoof and began running to find Shadic. [No homo.] [Ten minutes later.] "Hey Shadic!" I yelled startling him from his nap. "What?!" he asked angrily. "I was just about to," he said annoyed,"Ah forget it. You don't care anyway." He flew down and began to strectch out, yawning as he did so. "Do you know where Fluttershy is?" Shadow asked hopefully. Shadic first only glared and Shadow recoiled at the stare. "Yeah," Shadic said still with a yawn," She said something about some date with somepony." Then his eyes showed he just realized something. "Oh, so she meant you. Well why aren't you at your picnic?" he asked outraged at the apparent stand up of his friend. "What? I thought she meant she wanted to go to a restraurant. I made reservations and everything," Shadow said defending himself. Then the three of us facehoofed after what he said. "Shadic can you help him to get to his date, on time?" I asked smirking. He seemed kind of embarassed to. [Truth be told I would be too.] "I don't know," Shadic drawled pretending he was going back to napping. "Come on, please!" Shadow begged on his knees. [Well he kneeled. I guess it is the same thing. Any of you got a problem with that? No? Then moving on!] "Fine. I am such a good friend," Shadic said with a grin. "Don't worry pal I will get you to your date in no time!" I began to say something but they disappeared in a second. Wow. Looks like Batman has some competetion. [Back in the marketplace.] Oh I hope Daisy is not too mad that I have been gone for a long time....What the fuck?! I walked back to the market to find it completely destroyed. I found a giant robot in the middle of town. It was pony shaped with a black visor. Think of a basic robot type thing. The worst thing is that Eggman's head appeared on the visor. Before I could respond I found myself fainting. [Okay this is just the WORST...POSSIBLE...THING.]
