A Forsaken Symbiote

Shut Up And Dance

{Lee/Xilery’s PoV}

        I sighed. Wonderful… I had just came back from another world…

        It wasn’t that bad though. Cool dude too. And neat weapons! I got a few guns, but I put them in my ‘Venom-Space’ to check out later. I did that all in the other world, and know I was stuck as Xilery again. A couple token’s fell to the floor, including Silver’s, Lance’s, Loki’s, and Kat’s. I moved them with my hooves to the side, where I told Spike to take care of them. He said he couldn’t, so I just placed Lance’s and Silver’s on my person, while I hid Loki’s and Kat’s behind a bookshelf. All with my hooves. The transformation didn’t give me pony magic, so I was less a mare than Butterfly. I mean, she can’t fly much.

        What happened was, after practice, I had sat in a chair and fell asleep, awaiting my “date” with Twilight. I was then sucked through a portal and into a firefight between a man and machine. After I arrived, I met a guy

        I looked at the clock. I’d been gone for a half an hour. I shake my head. ‘I thought I was gone more than an hour!? Well… It’s time… Why am I doing this!? Stop, stop, stop…’

        I mentally sigh. This better not get out of hand- er, hoof.

        I heard the clopping of hooves over by the stairs, and turned my head. My jaw hit the floor. Twilight was in a simple blue dress, with stars, and light blue shoes. She also sparkled a bit. ‘Wow...’

        “You like it? It’s the only dress I think I could dance it. Rarity made it for me, and I even wore this to the Gala.”

        I was finding trouble breathing. I couldn’t think of what to say. She gained a sad look.

        “It’s too much, isn’t it? I should have asked Rarity to make something better, bu-” I cut her off.

        “It’s perfect… You just struck me speechless…” She smiled, and trotted down.

        “So!” She held out a hoof so I could take it, “Shall we?”

        I nodded.


{Toxin’s PoV}

        I was in Pinkie’s bloodstream like usual. She hopped towards the ‘club’, all the while talking about this and that. I gave a few comments, but I liked listening.

        “... So then I was like, Wazzup!!! And then Rainbow started using it! And then I heard Derpy use it, and Neon Lights and even Vinyl! It then got world wide.”

        ‘Wow! World wide?’

        “Yep! And I didn’t get any credit for it!” She seemed a bit irritated. I don’t know why though…

        This feels wrong...’

        Pinkie continued on for a minute, until we reached the party house. It was BIG. One way to describe it is think Rainbow’s cloud fortress, but multiply it by three.

        I was SO going to party hard.

        “Okay! So for the first three hours we’ll stay backstage and help out. Then, we’ll have twice that long to party, and another hour out of all to look for the killer. Got it?”

        I mentally nodded.

        This was going to be crazy.


{Lee/Xilery’s PoV}

        We arrived at the club. I had one thing to say. Big. Huge. Well, bigger than any club I’d been too. Twilight and I kept close, but not that close.

        “So, how was your life before...?” Twilight asked me.

        I grinned, “Well, you know I’m not from this world. I was a teenage student living in an apartment. I lived with my sister, and mother. Dad left when my sis was born. Wasn’t that great anyway.” Twilight seemed sad, but I continued. “My family hated each other. Except mom. Loved the morons she called kid with all her heart.” Twilight giggled at that.

        “It wasn’t until I was fifteen that things went downhill. Mom was killed in a car accident, and I went to live with my aunt. Her name was Blair, and her son Chris. A couple years later, I was hit by a car like my mother. Due to miscommunication, I was sent to eye surgery, which wasn’t a problem. I lost my eyesight, and grew closer to my sister. A year later, I was sent here as a Symbiote.” As I finished my backstory, Twilight’s eyes grew wide. I decided to defuse the situation. “I’m fine though. That was decades ago, and I’ve moved past it. That was out of my control anyway.”

        Twilight still gave me a sad look, so I took her hoof and pulled, “Come on! I’m here for fun, not pity!”

        Twilight laughed as we ran into the building.

        Once inside, my mouth dropped even more. I thought it looked big on the outside, but inside was wider. The dancefloor was one hundred hooves wide both ways, a DJ booth next to it, there was a restaurant in the corner, dozens of tables, and a lot of ponies in the building.

        Twilight pulled me to the side and sat me down on a table for two. I looked to the DJ stand and saw Vinyl switch with a dark blue unicorn with black hair and grey eyes. I couldn’t see his cutie mark, but I felt something wrong.

        I shook my head, “So, what do you wanna do?” I asked. Twilight’s eyes started to glow, and so did her horn, and my body.

        Immediately, my inner fear struck, and I started to panic. “Waitwaitwait! I d-don’t think we should! I mean, I’m a girl, you’re a girl, what would Ponyville thi-”

        Before I finished, she cut me off. “Shut up, and dance with me!”

        As soon as I heard those words, a different song played. One I recognised. I looked over to the DJ stand, and the stallion winked at me! I was about to go after him, but the music seemed to have Twilight under some sort of spell… It was working on me too, as I didn’t have a care in the world!

        We started dancing, and I felt butterflies in my stomach. I wasn’t supposed to do this like… well, this!

        My new heart was pumping faster than the Flash! I needed a breather… Nah!

        We continued to dance, all the while getting closer and closer. I felt my heart swell, my knees shake, and my brain becoming mush. I was pretty much putty.

        We continued to dance until the song ended. We leaned closer, I felt her breath on my face. I closed my eyes. Three inches. Two. On-

        I snapped back to reality when I heard a scream. A child like scream too.

        Twilight’s eyes shot open. “PINKIE!!!”

        As soon as I was sure nopony was looking, I summoned my Scythe. Twi and I sprinted towards where the scream came from… Backstage…

        I didn’t see the stallion, but I didn’t care. One of Twi’s friends was in danger.

        When we arrived, my eyes widened. A shadow held Pinkie by the back of her head. “The Shadow!? I thought I killed you!”

        The Shadows eyes turned to me, and I froze. They weren’t yellow… They were green…

        “You can’t kill what you can’t touch, Lee Maris Connors.” She said and she threw the pink pony to the ground. The darkness faded, revealing a white mare with green mane, and eyes. A brown cloak covered her cutie mark. She grinned darkly.

        My heart ached. “No… It can’t be…”
