//------------------------------// // A good drive. // Story: Livin' The Dream. // by The Joeker //------------------------------// You've got a normal life? no? If you have you've already got a bigger head start than I do, if not, welcome to the club. I could tell you to stay in school, eat your veg and stay off of drugs, but that would make me one of the biggest hypocrites alive. Of course, I, myself could go back to school, but no... I first heard the news of my parents death in my class and it was on the news itself. I'll admit, I didn't come out of that unscaythed, so I took my dads car and hit the road, trying my damndest to not look back. So now, I'm running, from my extended family, from the cops and from the past, all these are now factors in my life. I will also admit I'm not left wanting in the monetary department, not from the 'jobs' I do, but all the same, I can say, I'm as happy as I'll get. I will also confide that I am a virgin, not that I never had anyone, but the girl I was with I left behind along with everything else, I don't regret it because she was a cheating bitch anyway. So, here I am, dead of night, all alone, in my car, driving, trying to find somewhere to stay the night and hide from the past, all the while listening to my favourite songs, this one was Editors- Bullets. "You don't need hmm hmm hmmmm" I hummed the tune. I turned to the seat next to me, I noticed I left my gun and balaclava there I stuffed the gun in my holster with the other three, two gold M9's and two Zenith's and four suppressors in my bag And hid the balaclava in my pocket, I checked the back seat and saw my duffel bag full of clothes and money, I put it on my shoulder and positioned it on the armrest in between the seats., and put one Barretta in and one Zenith. I turned around to face the road and turned a corner to the motel, but as I was passing a road, I saw bright lights from my left, I checked the road and saw a truck coming at me at full speed, there was no escape so I put my hands at my side and shut my eyes, every day I twirled a gun in my hand wondering if I should take the easy way out, but never do… now I didn't have to. I sighed and was content with what was happening, as I felt the truck collide with the back left side of the car and sent me into a tailspin, as I crashed into a chest high wall I felt myself smash through glass, my duffel bag and guns following suit as I flew. -Canterlot dining room- As Luna and Celestia were sat down for some tea, they both chatted about idle things, but they didn't mind, they were happy to, every moment spent together was precious. -Princess Celestia's POV- As me and Luna were enjoying our third Afternoon Tea together since she got back, I smiled as I took a bite out of a scone. "Yes, the public in Canterlot is sort of warming up to us now, we may just attend the next GGG." she abbreviated Grand Galloping Gala, she still sounded uninterested. "Excellent! it is dull, but having you there will get the guests done with rather quickly, we can say 'you can only be greeted by one Princess' and we can have some fun, eat some cake and maybe find somepony to dance with, someponies who respect us for who we are, not what we are." I said. "Art thou sure sister? neither of us hath ever had a date, Discord's reign was too miserable, our reign was too busy and time consuming and thine reign was even busier with just thou on the throne, at over 2000 years old, we're still like school fillies when it comes to romance, plus we are Princesses, who doesn't see the crowns upon our head?" she pointed out, she was always down lately, she never used her royal voice anymore or the royal speech except when speaking to Celestia to keep tradition up. "I know, but we need to try Luna, I mean, having somepony to love would be nice for us, we wouldn't have to be lonely." she said. "We see your point dear sister, but what can thine do? Our lover would not be immortal, and it is not as if our dream lover will drop from thine sky-" Luna cut off as somepony crashed through our table and the wall, we immediately stood up, ready to berate whoever disturbed us despite the irony of the situation… What in the sun...? What is that? it's not Equine, that's for sure... it's bipedal. He yelled and backed away from us "Wait if I ca-" I started before he raised his... hooves? He picked up a chair and raised it at me, obviously scared out of his wits "How dare you address roy-" started Luna before he screamed. He started to open his mouth before a guard tackled him, the alien threw him off and punched him in the face, I was about to intervene and walked toward him when he spun around and whacked me in the muzzle, giving me a black eye. "Sister!" exclaimed Luna and went to attack him, suddenly he was knocked out after literally 8 guards were piled on him and landed a few good hits. "Put it-" as Luna was about to say dungeon' I said: "In the hospital." calmly after using some magic to get rid of the black eye I had. -Third Person POV- "The hospital?" asked Luna. "It was clear it didn't know where it was, I daresay no pony in this room would act differently if placed in a similar situation, put it in hospital and bind it for our safety." said Celestia, the guards nodded to the Sun Princess. "I still say 'it' should be wrapped up and locked in chains." said Luna stubbornly. "It looked like it was thrown through the wall, it may have been attacked." said Celestia. "Your highness, we found these on his person." said the guard, and held those two... odd metal objects, likely weapons, one was even gold. "It may be royalty if he has something like that made of gold." said Celestia. "We also found this" said a guard and produced a strange metal bag with a zip. "It is full of clothes, two more of the objects and... bits, lots and lots of bits, it is a very rich alien." said another guard. "Close the bag and place the two objects at the bottom of it and leave it in its room." said Celestia. "Are you sure about this sister?" asked Luna. "We need answers before we do anything." said Celestia. "I still say we should tie it up and throw it in the dungeon." spat Luna. "That would not be fair." said Celestia. "He hit you!" shouted Luna. "He acted in self defence!" replied Celestia. -Meanwhile in the Infirmary- As the guards lowered the being onto a bed, they found he was too large for it, so they got an Alicorn sized bed out and placed him in it. "Lets tie him up and leave quickly!" said a guard.
