//------------------------------// // Explanations // Story: when slenderman left me in paradise // by Jimbob //------------------------------// [Knight] {Me} The Glaring. I could handle yelling, screaming, insulting, and any mix of the three but the silent glaring I was receiving from the girls was unnerving. Well that’s not completely true, Pinkie wasn’t glaring she was bouncing up and down with a happy go-lucky smile on her face, and Fluttershy was trying to hid behind her mane. But everypony else was glaring like there was no tomorrow. The Princesses were off to the side with a bored look on their faces. Poseidon was no where to be found, well at least Pinkie and I hadn’t seen him on the way here and he wasn’t here so I guess he went back to Olympus. Which is a real shame cause I get the feeling I’m gonna need some back-up here, right I suppose I should attempt to disarm this situation. “Listen girls I know you must be upset-” “UPSET?!” I flinched as Twilight yelled. “Upset doesn’t even begin to describe it! You waltz in here and don’t bother to tell us that we’re a show were you’re from and then you pretend to not know who we are!” she fumed while staring at me. The other girls didn’t say anything but then again Twilight had said everything that needed to be said. I took a deep breath to calm myself. “Would you have believed me?” “W-what?” she seemed startled by the calmness of my answer. “Would you have believed me if I told you I had seen you all before?” “W-well I mean I might have...” “No you wouldn’t have you need proof of things; I saw that much when you tried to figure out Pinkie’s special sense.” They let out a gasp. “You saw that too?” “Yes, it nearly drove you insane when you couldn’t find any logical explanation for it, and believe me if I had told you that I had watch all of your adventures and had no way to explain, it would have drove you insane.” Too right she would've tried to figure out how we were able to watch them. Which raised other questions; I pointed my finger at Celestia. “How did you know about the show?” “Well Poseidon told us of course.” “Uhuh, and pray tell how is this even possible?” “Poseidon said it was a coincidence.” “I don’t tend to believe in coincidences everything happens for a reason.” She shrugged. “That’s what we were told.” Twilight cleared her throat; I looked back over towards her. “While I’d normally be happy about discuss inter-dimension theory I’m afraid that I’m still caught up on the fact that Jake lied to us and wasn’t planning on telling us!” the rest of the girls nodded their agreement. “Listen I’m sorry girls, really I am but what would you have done in my position? Imagine you get sent to a world that you’ve always wanted to live in, a place where you know so much about the inhabitants, how do you explain to them that where you’re from their all fiction?” none of the girls responded. “Exactly there is no easy way to do it, you simply go about as if you didn’t know them and hope that at some point you can use all the information you have without looking suspicious.” I glared at them unsure of how to continue, I wasn’t happy that they had been so willing to make accusations and not put themselves in my spot, but I also couldn’t be angry at them because I would have felt the same way. I settled for being mildly perturbed and waited for the girls to make the next move. “You still could have told us.” Twilight muttered “I’ll say it again, girls I am really, really, really, sorry for lying to you but please believe me when I say that I did what I thought was best at the time, I didn’t see any other way to approach the situation.” The girls huddled close together and began to talk about something. {Just when I thought I was in the clear!} [You’ll never be in the clear; they’ll just keep bringing this up to guilt you] {Oh come on I’m sure they’re better than that} [We’ll see] The girls exited the huddle and turned back to me. “We’ve decided to forgive you on one condition.” I hate conditions there always so unfair “We want to see the show.” I turned to Celestia. “May I have a glass of water.” She looked at me questionably and levitated a glass of water to me. I took a drink and proceeded to spit it out. “WHAT!?” Celestia looked down at the water on the carpet and back at me. “Was that really necessary?” I ignored her. “Girls I really think this is a bad idea.” I was going to say that watching themselves might put everything in a harsh light and complete alter the way they act, plus some of the episodes might show some secrets that were better left that way, like when Rarity kept bailing on Twilight’s party to go to the fancy party. Some of these things could drive wedges in their friendship which I had no intention of doing. “Too bad Jake those are our terms take them or leave them.” I had no intention of doing either. “I’ll make you a deal; we can watch the episodes I deem okay to watch.” Please agree. Then Celestia spoke up. “I believe that Jake should have a say in what we view, after all we remember what happened last time somepony opened a door in his mind that they shouldn’t have.” Rainbow Dash had the decency to blush and rubbed the back of her head. I had almost forgotten that Celestia could read mind, and slightly thanks her. She smiled slightly and gave an almost invisible nod in my direction. Twilight scowled “Fine! We’ll only watch the episodes that Jake says we can.” I wonder if I can say ‘no episodes’? Nah they’d probably raise hell about it and to be honest I was already in enough trouble with them, better not to risk it. “Deal! So when will we do this?” The Princesses and the girls began towards me; Celestia had a smile on her face. “Well right now of course!” Goddamn Trollestia. A/N: I had a lot of trouble writing this chapter so sorry if it's sub-par
