//------------------------------// // Starting Over // Story: The Pony of the Jacket // by MaskofLimbo //------------------------------// April 4rd, 10:30 Ponyville - Equestria “Good morning Spike” Twilight Sparkle said to her assistance, scratching her eye and yawning, as she enters the kitchen, where Spike was cooking breakfast. “Morning Twi” The little dragon answers with a smile as he finishes with the eggs “Did you sleep well?” “Yeah, I really needed a sleep like that after such night” She said and sits down at the table, where a newspaper and a cup of coffee was waiting for her “How did you spend your night?” She asks as she takes a sip on her coffee. “Sleeping” He simply answered, bringing giggles from Twilight, who start reading the newspaper “So, how the Girls Night was?” “Simply amazing, Spike!” She replies happily and look at her assistant with a smile “We did karaoke, played bowling, where Rainbow Dash and Applejack got into a little contest, we watched a comedy show and many other things. We even eat on this new pizzeria, Miami's Flavour” “I've heard some ponies talking about it this pizzeria and that their pizzas there are awesome” Spike said as he bring their breakfast to the table. “They weren't lying” Twilight said as she keeps reading the newspaper and levitates a sandwich to her mouth “Their pizzas are... oh my Celestia” Twilight stops and look shocked to the newspaper. “Twilight?” Spike said worry “Is everything okay?” In answer, Twilight reads what shocked her. “Another massacre has taken place on April 3rd in the train station here in Ponyville and once again the targets were the Ruchelings mafia ” She begins reading “This bloodbath is identical to the ones that happened the night before that, in a bar that was frequently attended by Changelings, were many believe that was made by this vigilante movement, so chances that this was made by them as well, but nothing is confirmed” She stops reading and sigh heavily “I just don't understand Spike. Why is this happening? This is just insane!” “Yeah, I even get scare to go out at night because of this” Spike said with a frown “But, we should thanks that these vigilantes are only aiming at Ruchelings and not just anyone out there” “Homeless pony found dead in a alley and some people claim that the killer was a man with a head of a chicken” Twilight quickly read something her eye caught, making Spike sigh. “Ok, I get it, but this still isn't reason to stop having hope that everything will get better” Spike tries to comfort her “Who know? Maybe a hero will appear and kick the living hay out of the king of the Ruchelings and BAM, everything solved!” Twilight lightly giggle at those words. “Thanks, Spike. Now really isn’t the tim to think about this” Twilight said and puts th newspaper away “Shall we?” And so both start eating. “So, anything else happens last night?” Spike continue their conversation. “Well…” Twilight starts thinking “There is this new pony, that we saw when we were on that Pizzeria” “A new pony? Cool” Spike said while eating. “Yeah, but I think he is seems different, for some reason. I don't know why, though” Twilight said and drinks her coffee. “Why?” Spike asks curious. “He looks… cold. Very quiet” Twilight tries to explain “He even ignored Pinkie when she talked to him “Somepony managed to ignore Pinkie Pie? I never though it was possible” Spike said impressed “Was she ok?” “Yeah, actually” Twilight answers “She believes that he is just shy. And she will try to help him. And then, give him his Welcome Party” “That... doesn't look like a good plan” Spike said. “Yeah. But, who knows?” Twilight said and finishes her meal “Thanks for the breakfast Spike. I'm going to read about a new spell now “ “Have fun. I'll be here cleaning the dishes if you need anything” Twilight nods and teleports away, leaving Spike to clean the dishes, while humming a song to himself “A new pony, hm?” He remembers what Twilight said and giggle “Hehe, I just hope he can handle Pinkie Pie” April 4rd, 10:47 Ponyville - Equestria “Pinkie Pie notebook. Time 10.47 Jacket is walking around Ponyville. I believe he is buying groceries, but until now he only bought junk food. The whole time I've been following him, he hasn't taken off his headphones, making me think that perhaps he is music lover ( note: I didn't discover what kind of music he likes, though). I will continue to follow him to gather more information” Pinkie finish her note and continues following the stallion. Pinkie Pie was following “Jacket” around Ponyville, hiding in stuff and disguised, so she won't be recognized. By disguised I mean a fake pair of glasses with a moustache “Hey, it's a classic, mister writter!” Yes Pinkie, I know it is, now can I continue? “Oh, of course, sorry” She answers and then Rain...”Hey, this is a crossover, right?” sigh Yes Pinkie, now can you... “So you are crossing with a universe you like, right?” Yeah? “And this universe you are using is something you really, really kn...” Pinkie, where are you going with this! “Since this new pony is based from someone of this universe you really, really know something about, it means you know much about him” Yes, I know about his story, so can I... “Cool! So can you tell me about him? I really want to know about him before I give his Welcome Party because...” No Pinkie, I can't do that “Ahhh, why not?” Because the point of this story is you discovering more about him “Oh come on. Just one thing about him, please, please, please, please” PINKIE sigh okay, how about this. If you let me continue and DON'T interrupt me ever again, I promise to write a moment where someone will tell you ONE thing about him, how about it? “Really? You Pinkie Promise?” Yeah, yeah. Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye “Yay, thank you!” No problem, now, can I continue, please? “Oh sure, sorry” “Ahh Pinkie? Who are you talking to?” Rainbow Dash asks her friend, after watching her talk to herself. “Ohh, no one” Pinkie answers. “Oookay” Rainbow said, without understanding, but decides to ignored “So, what are you doing hiding in a bush and using this glasses?” “Oooh this?” She ask, pointing to her disguise “I'm just following Jacket” “Who's Jacket?” Rainbow Dash wonders. “Him” Pinkie points to the new pony, who was sitting on a bench, just like that mare Lyra “I gave him this nickname since I don't know his name yet” “Right, and why are you following him?” Rainbow asks “Wasn't he a total douche with you yesterday?” “Ohh, I'm sure he is just a little shy” Pinkie said “He just needs to know me better so then he won't be afraid of talking” she takes her disguise off and gets out of her hiding spot “Okay, I think is time to try talking with him again. Wish me luck” She then proceeds to get closer to him. “Wait” Rainbow stops her, flying in front of her “I'm going with you, in case he causes any problems” “Okie Dokie” Pinkie answer, and both approach at the stallion. They approach at him and stand in front of him. When he look at them, Pinkie wave and he sigh, taking off one of his ear phones “Hi there, it's me from the pizzeria yesterday. Remember me?” Pinkie asks and he give a little nod. After cleaning her throat, she continues “Look, I don't know if I said something bad that made you don't talk to me, so, how about we start over?” She offer a hoofshake “My name is Pinkamina Diane Pie, but my friends call me Pinkie Pie” She said with a smile, and he shakes her hoof Wowie, this is a advance “Oh, this is my friend Rainbow Dash, she is the faster from the fasters flyer in the WHOLE OF EQUESTRIA!” she exclaimed. “Sup” Rainbow said nonchalantly. “So, what's your name?” Pinkie asks him, but then he shake his head “Uhh, why not?” He points at his throat and shake his head again. After a while, Pinkie finally understands “Ohhh, so you are mute?” He nods “Ohh, so THIS is why you didn't talk yesterday. Sorry for not understanding your problem earlier” She said with a frown, but he wave his hoof in a “no problem” way, making Pinkie smile again “Ops, almost forgot the other reason I wanted to talk with you” Jacket look at her with a confuse look “I'm here to offer you a little tour around Ponyville. Since you are new, it would be good to know around, don't you think?” She asks with a smile “So, how about?” Jacket thinks for a second, but then he sighs once again and nods “Yay! Then please, follow moi” She said happily, and start bouncing away with Rainbow Dash and Jacket following her. “Pss, hey” Rainbow whisper at Jacket and gain his attention “Look, I also feel bad for you being mute, but this don't change the fact that you might be trouble. So, an warning, if you hurt or try anything bad with her or my other friends you will gain a V.I.P. ticket to Paintown, understood?” She gave him a intimidating look, but his blank expression didn’t change. “Oh, I know!” Pinkie said and look at the two “Let's go to the Boutique from my friend Rarity. She is an amazing dressmaker and one of mine best friends ever” She start leading the way and Rainbow Dash look back at Jacket, who was now ignoring her. Looking forward again, her thoughts were simple I hate this guy
