//------------------------------// // (Deleted Scenes) // Story: No Pizza in Ponyville // by AngryPenguin //------------------------------// Freddy was getting uncomfortable. The sea-foam colored unicorn kept staring at him, particularly his hands. Every time he took a step back, she would follow him. He finally had enough! He threw his hands in the air and screeched in anger. Freddy was tired of this mare's games! "Sorry, I'm just looking at your... whatever you call them. I'm Lyra, by the way!" She said, reaching towards his arm. He snatched it away and crossed his arms in front of him. Lyra seemed like the type to dismember one's appendages. And they say he's the monster! "May I just... look? I've never seen them before!" She asked. He shook his head. "Please? I won't touch them! I just want to look!" She pleaded. Freddy sighed and finally held out his hand. Lyra grinned from ear to ear. She was absolutely amazed by them and Freddy had no idea why. Suddenly, she grabbed his arm and pulled it off, running away. "With this, I shall create my own!" Freddy growled and ran after her, shrieking threats and curse words. He passed Rainbow Dash, who started flying after him. "Freddy! What's wrong?" She yelled. He pointed to the galloping Lyra who held his arm in her magic. "Oh, well, let me handle it." Dash said, zooming in front of him. Freddy watched as Rainbow dash tackled Lyra, making her roll headfirst into a building. Dash picked up his arm and flew back to him. Panting, she hoofed it back to him. He smiled the best he could and nodded his head in gratitude. Lyra twitched as half her body hung out the hole in the wall. "She'll be fine. It'll teach her not to mess with us, right, Freddy?" She put a hoof on Freddy's shoulder. He scratched his head. These ponies had serious issues. "Darling, you mustn't be afraid. I just want to help." Rarity said, carrying a sponge and soap. Freddy shrieked frantically. He couldn't get in wet! Was she mad?! She stepped closer. "I don't want to offend, but you... well, you smell a little bit unpleasant." Freddy backed away, shaking his head and waving his arms in front of him, defensively. Rarity jumped on his shoulders and scrubbed his suit, hard. He reached his arms behind him and spun around, trying to get her off, but he couldn't reach! "Hold... still!" She demanded. Suds covered his entire body by the time she was finished. She hopped off and admired her work. Freddy shrieked at her, scolding her actions. "It wasn't that bad, was it? Now, we must rinse!" She clopped her hooves together. His eyes widened. Not the water! She floated a bucket of clear water towards him. The second he tried to run, she dumped the water on top of his head. The good news was that he was clean. The bad news was that he was sparking and twitching about, unable to control his body. Rarity covered her eyes as the melody in his voice box played, skipping and stopping frequently. Finally, he fell back, smoke coming from his mechanisms. His vision went black. "-eddy? I'm terribly sorry, darling. Are you alright?" His vision filled with static. After a moment, his systems booted back to normal. He sat up, rubbing his head. Freddy looked at Rarity, anger taking over. He pointed his finger and yelled. "I-I'm sorry! I didn't know you were going to start smoking like that! Luckily, I know a spell that dries clothes without shrinking them. After Sweetie Belle shrunk my favorite sweater, I thought I would look into it." She beamed. "But look at you! Aren't you just posh?" Freddy examined his body, his anger fading when he saw how clean he had become. His fur wasn't always that dark? Standing, he shrugged and made his way to the front door to go back to the library. "You're welcome, darling!" Rarity yelled after him, waving. "What is it?" "Ah don't know, but maybe we shouldn't be messin' with it." "Don't be so boring, Applebloom. It's obviously a giant teddy bear!" Freddy was unamused by the three fillies who poked and prodded him. They weren't human children, but they were a close second. He smiled and tipped his hat at the smaller ponies. They looked at each other. His voice box activated, singing the goofy song that so many times, entertained the children back home. When it was over, he bowed. They stared for a moment. Then, the foals giggled and cheered, hugging his legs. "That was awesome! You're a singing teddy bear!" The one called Scootaloo exclaimed. Freddy smiled. After all, it was what he was made to do!
