Chapter 9: Absence in Night
"Hey Twilight ive been meaning to ask." I was so bored. Helping Spike clean the entire library and nothing to listen to. My iPod's battery was at sixty percent and I realized I never brought a charger. Twilight looked over to me while I was stacking a few books. "Yes Kriece?"
"I've been curious, according to what I've heard there are in fact gypsies in Equestria no?" I was more than curious. Did they speak my language, did they have the same ways, I was dying to know how they were. "Why yes there are in Equestria but they don't live in this region. Why so curious?"
"Because I myself am a gypsy and I'd like to know more bout them."
"Youre a gypsy? But how?"
"Your guess is as good as mine."
"I have a book on them but it doesn't have any real or valuable information seeing as they like to keep to themselves."
"Typical."
"I got an idea Kriece how about you give me information on your culture? I'm sure they would be quite similar seeing as they exist both in our world and your's."
"I'm up for it."
"Good now let me go grab an empty book to write in."
Talking about my people is a hard thing to do since who we actually are is hidden amongst that retarded bull TV depicts us as (that show 'My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding', now I don't know if you've seen it or not but that shit is not how we are whatsoever). She'd ask a question and I would try my best to answer. I'd tell her that most gypsies are divided into clans represented by names that come from an old relative, countries from where the family came from. How you aren't fully a man until you get married (you could be 32 and not married but a 17 year old who is married would get more priority and respect). How we think which to me was tough to talk about because of the attitude that comes with thinking that since we're gypsies we don't have to follow the law. It's crazy I admit but we learn.
This was getting annoying and fast. "Twilight you think we can stop for today?" I'm not much of a conversationalist so talking for this long was leaving my throat dry. "But we only have fifty out of the five hundred and thirty pages in this book!"
"I don't care, my throat hurts from talking so much."
"Alright then. We will finish this another day."
"I don't know why I didn't think of this before we started but how much of that is even accurate considering neither you or me know anything about them here."
"Oh. I could always contact the Princess for any books regarding them. And even if it isn't accurate I'd still like to document your side of the culture what differences there are between our worlds."
"Kay I'll just raid your fridge for food since I'm bored." And I swiftly left.
During our chat i tried asking Twilight if anything exciting ever happens in Ponyville but she really didn't say much cause there were basically none. This place was very uneventful even with my arrival. Twilight told me of a few events regarding a dragon, parasprites, and a manticore but the royal guard stepped in before anything happened. She also mentioned a zebra that used to live in the Everfree Forest but moved to another location far from Ponyville. Maybe I wasn't here for some big adventure. To become a hero and save everyone, even to me that sounded farfetched even though I'm actually in a world dominated by mythical creatures. Maybe I was just handed a second chance at life. A quiet, somewhat normal life. But I still feel empty, I'm still sad, I still put up this facade. What am I missing?.
I was in the kitchen fixing myself some chamomile tea minding my own business cause really who else am I suppose to be concerning or thinking about? When I hear a door open and a rush of multiple hooves. I got out of the kitchen to see three fillies talking to Twilight about something. I put myself the chamomile and walked over to see what was going on. "BUT TWILIGHT! We want to know where foals come from?!" I almost did a spit take when I heard that. "Sorry Sweetie Belle but I'm not the one who's suppose to be telling you these things and even if I was you're too young. When you're older."
"That's what all the grown ups say!"
"Scootaloo is right Twilight. Nopony wants to tell us and we don't know why."
"Now Applebloom, girls. There are some things that aren't suppose to be learned until your ready. I mean what if I were to teach you algebra and you three haven't even learned multiplication?" I walked up beside Twilight facing the three fillies.
"Who's he Twilight? Is he your stallionfriend?"
"No! he's just a guest staying with me."
"Hey there girls." Sweetie trotted alittle bit towards me to shake my hoof. "Hello mister my name is Sweetie Belle." She pointed to her other friends. "That's Scootaloo and Applebloom. What's your name?" They were like god tier adorable. I seriously considered just picking up all three of them and just hug their little beating hearts out of their throats. "My name is Kriece."
"That's a weird name." Scootaloo was never the one to hold anything back. "Scootaloo don't make fun of his name!" Twilight said to Scootaloo. "But it is!" Unarguably the best comeback. "Don't worry about it Twilight my name is pretty weird. Now you girls wanted to know where foals come from?"
"Kriece what are you doing?"
"Don't worry, I got this." The three fillies started jumping up in excitement realizing they were going to get the answers they've been looking for. "You see when a stallion loves a mare so much-"
"ALRIGHT GIRLS IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO SLEEP IT'S GETTING LATE!" I could see Twilight was blushing already even though I didn't even get to the good stuff. "BUT TWILIGHT HE WAS GOING TO TELL US!"
"No buts, go try asking Rarity or something." After shooing the girls out the door she closed it and looked at me with a unamused face. "What the hay was that?"
"What I was only going to tell them that when a-"
"Shush it. I don't want to hear it. Honestly Kriece and to little fillies too!"
"The truth is an ugly thing, would have it been better to lie?"
"Yes,"
"Yes? So what you condone lying?"
"What?! No that isn't what meant."
"And here I thought you were a good person!
It's always the logical ones."
As the moon was beginning it's creep into the sky I was getting ready to meet up with Luna. I was mentally doing a check list to see if I had everything I needed. "I have the blankets, the food Spike helped me make, drinks. I have my clothes on? Check." Twilight was just looking at me. "Yeah Twilight?" I said to her as I was packing everything up. "What's with all this stuff? Isn't Princess Luna just going to you magic?"
"Yes but she also likes to talk so I figured why not atleast be comfortable while we do." I honestly didn't care what she thought but I seriously got all these things for that purpose.
"Oh really now?"
"Yeah really."
"Well oh kay then."
"Pfft whatever. Anyways I'm out! We'll be at a meadow near the Everfree Forest."
"Be careful Kriece."
"I'll try." I headed out the door went to the meadow where we would be.
It's been an hour already and she wasn't here. She's probably busy I thought. I waited for three hours and still she didn't come. I waited through the whole night, til I couldn't wait any longer. I guess she had something more important. I shrugged off the feeling of sadness and went back to the library. I sat on my bed and instantly went to sleep.
I woke up and got ready. I looked out the window to see it was night. I slept for a full 12 hours. I headed towards the main lobby to find Twilight and all her friends there. "Hey girls Uh good morning and good night!." I then saw the worried looks on all their faces. "What's wrong? Why you girls look so out of it?" Twilight was the first to say something. "It's about Princess Luna. She disappeared a few hours ago and nopony knows where she's gone to. And one more thing. The sun hasn't risen up yet." After hearing this I said "Oh no." but in my mind I was screaming "Oh yes."
