Hello, it's me again, lil miss narrator. Yes, I'm a GUUURRRL. Anyway, let's get back to the story. Now, where did I put that script?
Oh, right. Here it is. Okay, ahem. This story contains randomness, ponies, references, randomness, warning, blah blah blah....
Ah! Here we go. Let's get to the story!
It had been an hour since the boat had picked them up. Neo and Grace thought fast after seeing the boat and cleaned themselves, getting rid of Twilight's blood and feathers.
Neo couldn't help but be nervous. Her and Grace were definitely going to court. Even though they had rid themselves of Twilight's blood 'n stuff, that didn't fool the royal guards that were on the ship. The other princesses were there, and Twilight's older brother, Shining Armor, and when they saw what state Twilight was in, they all pretty much fainted. Well, Shining did. Not the princesses. They just stood there in shock.
The princesses didn't suspect anything at first, but Neo had forgotten to wash an important part of herself: her mane. In it stood a lot of Twilight's feathers and a load of blood. Even Grace had forgotten to wash her mane, leaving the same stuff in it. When the princess of the sun noticed this, she said that Grace and Neo were going to court. The princesses locked Grace and Neo in a room, and left the island. And no, they didn't forget to take Derpy and Pinkie with them.
Neo was pacing, not knowing what to do.
"Can you please go to bed? It's 1 AM." Grace whined
"I'm sorry, I've just.. Never been to court before." Neo said.
"Neither have I, but you don't see me freaking out, do you?"
"I'm not freaking out! I'm just nervous."
"Just get some sleep."
"I can't with Whining Armor, Princess Trollestia, Princess Looney and Princess Hate-ance watching us." Grace was confused as to why her gaming friend had changed the names of the princesses names and the name of Twilight's older brother.
"All this is happening because we couldn't control our craving for some Twilight Alicorn Wings, trademark of Cannibal Fried Pony."
Grace then looked at Neo with a very confused look on her face, obviously not understanding what she meant. Neo just ignored her and continued pacing, mumbling random things doing with the murder and the outcome of the case might be. Grace just put one pillow above her head in frustration, hoping to block out at least some of the noise Neo was making. Grace managed to fall asleep with the pillow on her face, and when Neo noticed, she tried so hard not to burst out laughing.
After Neo had stopped the urge to laugh, she noticed just how tired she was. She crawled into her bed and had a dream about Nightmare Night. It was LITERALLY a nightmare. I don't want to go into full detail, because it gives me shudders just by reading my script. Anywho, NEXT DAY!
The next morning the boat arrived at the port of Manehattan, and a couple of carriages were waiting for the group of ponies. The royalty got into a separate carriage from the other four. The carriages then took off and headed for Canterlot. No words were spoken during the trip. When they arrived at Canterlot, they all departed at the castle. The non-royals were greeted by Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Rarity.
They were all so glad to see Pinkie, so they all had a group hug. Neo had been hoping that no one would ask why Twilight wasn't with them, but Rainbow Dash wasn't really being loyal to Neo's thoughts.
"Hey, where's Twilight? Wasn't she on the cruise with you guys?" Rainbow asked.
Neo went completely rigid, avoided eye contact and started sweating.
Grace did the same.
"Well?"
"Err, Uhm, you see..." Neo started, not able to find the words.
Princess Trollestia answered the question.
"Neo and Grace became cannibal ponies and ate her." The Princess said with a straight face, not a single ounce of emotion in her voice. Rainbow burst out laughing, and Trollestia raised an eyebrow at her. Trollestia, man... That sounds way better than "Celestia". Can I just call her that for the rest of the story? I CAN? YAY!!! Okay, let's get back on topic.
Trollestia said, "I was not joking. They literally ate her."
Neo gulped.
So did Grace.
Rainbow stopped laughing and stared at Trollestia. The others did, too.
"So, what you're sayin' is, Twi was eaten by Neo an' Grace?" Applejack asked.
"Yes, that it indeed what I am saying." The princess of the art of trolling said. The four elements of harmonys' jaws dropped to the floor. Literally. When they put their jaws back in place, Rarity spoke up.
"Well. I. Never! That is simply awful! And in all my years of being a lawyer, I haven't seen a worse case!"
"I thought you were a stylist." Rainbow said.
"I'm also a lawyer, darling. I just never told you. Some of those clients were made up! I was just going to be a lawyer for somepony who has to go to court."
"Ooohhhh. I still don't get it." Rainbow said.
"Hush now, darling. Neo, I still owe you for allowing me to sleep at your house when I was caught out in a storm. Now, I think, is the best time to use that favor." Rarity said.
"OH RARITY! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!" Neo exclaimed, she jumped onto Rarity and gave her a bear hug.
"Anything for you, darling." Rarity said, batting her eyelashes.
"Well, that sounds kinda weird." Neo said.
"Er, Nevermind, let's just get ready." Rarity said. She somehow manages to slip an earring the shape of her cutie mark on Neo's ear. Neo didn't notice.
Oh, just great, my script says that I have to explain the earring thing. Do I have to? SO I HAVE TOOOO? Fiiiiinnne.
Okay, so, Rarity put on an earring the shape of Neo's cutie mark on her ear after putting an earring on Neo's ear. This meant that Neo and Rarity were now a married couple. Say what now? HOW MANY FRICKIN MARRIAGES ARE THERE GONNA BE IN THIS STORY!? Ugghhh, whatever, let's get back on topic.
Rarity smiled to herself. She trotted off to go find some random lawyers suit, hopefully she doesn't bedazzle it like crazy, Neo and Grace just went to the court-place-building-thingy and waited in the room outside the courtroom. Neo was pacing like crazy. In fact, there was a groove where Neo was walking. THATS how much she was pacing.
"Err, Neo, I think you should calm down." Grace said, obviously worried about Neo.
"I can't. I just can't." Neo said.
"Don't worry. Rarity has it covered!" Grace said.
"But what if she doesn't?" Neo said.
Grace didn't answer.
They were told to enter the courtroom, so they did. The scriptwriter says that he can't do things that has to do with court, so he just told me to skip his failed attempt at a court thing and just go to when they leave.
Neo and Grace left the courtroom with Rarity, the latter wearing a plain lawyer outfit. Huh, strange... Anyway, the rest of the day they wanted to do something relaxing with their best friends. A smirk appeared on Rarity's face when she saw that Neo was still wearing the earring.
Rarity trotted happily off to a hotel, they were still in Canterlot, DUH, and Grace went to who-knows-where. Neo went to find Pinkie Pie, the latter saying something about a carnival. Neo managed to find one: The Radicolt Junction. She walked inside. When she was walking through the carnival, everypony started staring and whispering. Neo just held her head lower to the ground and walked faster. She quickly managed to find Pinkie at a cotton candy stand, and Pinkie waved her over.
"Hiya Neo! How did it go today?"
"Eh, I dunno... I'm kinda new to this court stuff."
"Oh, Uhm, remember when we got married?"
Neo's eyes went wide and she quickly looked around to see if anypony heard. Luckily, nopony did.
Neo sighed. "Yes..."
"Well, I was thinking that maybe we should just forget about what happened and stay friends. Deal?"
"I never thought I'd be happy to ever say this, but, deal."
"Awesome! Let's go out and enjoy the carnival!"
And so, the two went through the carnival, riding every single ride they could find. When it was sunset, they both were riding the Ferris wheel, but there was a slight complication so the ride was stuck. They were in a car near the top, and they had a beautiful view of the sunset.
"You can fly us down, if you want." Pinkie said.
"Nah, I like it up here. It's not everyday I get to watch the sun go down." Neo implied.
"Oh, okay. So, anything your planning to do when-" pinkie caught sight of the earring in Neo's ear, and was completely dumbfounded. Neo still hadn't noticed the earring.
"...this case... Is..... Over...." Pinkie said, still staring at the diamond-shaped earring in the pegasus' ear.
Neo looked over at Pinkie. "Why are you staring at me? Is there some candy still left in my mane?"
"N-no, it's... That!" Pinkie said.
"What?" Neo said while absentmindedly reaching her hoof to her ear.
"I don't feel any-" Neo said, but cut herself short when she felt the earring.
"What in the hay?" Neo said.
"Neo, how many times are you gonna get married?"
"WHAT!?"
"That earring is the same shape as Rarity's cutie mark. And she's been wearing an earring the shape of your cutie mark, too."
"How complicated can my life get?" Neo said with a sigh. She sunk into the car and covered her face with her hooves.
"I hate my life." Neo said, with unmistakable certainty.
Pinkie was just silent.
"I'm going to the hotel if you need me." Neo said, and she flew out of the car and in the direction of the hotel.
"Uhm..." Pinkie said, "what about me?"
The next day, after court, Neo was just hiding out in her hotel room. Rainbow Dash knocked on the door.
"Leave me alone.." Neo said.
Rainbow just went in.
"Hey, Neo... I have something I wanna say." Rainbow said.
"Can't you say it some other time? Can't you see that I'm busy moping?"
"Save the moping for later. I want to ask you something."
"Ugh, I don't..."
"Will you marry me?"
"...care..." Neo said, completely dumbfounded by what she just heard.
"NO! NO! A MILLION TIMES NO! I NEVER WANT TO GET MARRIED! ESPECIALLY NOT TO SOMEPONY LIKE YOU!" Neo screamed, making the Rainbow-maned pegasus flinch a bit.
"I have had enough of this!" Neo said, and with that, she ran out of the room, sobbing.
Neo left the hotel, and flew all the way to Ponyville. She flew into her house, and saw that her pet, Deleted, was waiting for her.
"Deleted, I am done! I am done with life! Dad knew that this day would come, and it has! Quick, go get the Emergency Suicide Device!" Neo said as soon as she saw her pet.
Deleted did a strange salute and ran off to find the ESD, which so happened to be an old fashioned gun. When Deleted gave Neo the gun, Neo used her feathers as fingers, whut, and and gripped on the gun the way a person would.
Neo brought the gun to her head, and started to cry heavily. She was going to leave everything she loved and cared for, at least she'll be with her mom, maybe her dad. Who knows what happened to him, he might be dead or he might be alive. Nopony knew.
Just before Neo pulled the trigger, six ponies burst through her already-opened-door.
"Don't do it! You have so much to live for!" Pinkie cried.
"Heh, I was just joking! It was Applejack's idea!" Rainbow implied.
"Heck no, it wasn't mah idea! But ya don't have ta do this!" Applejack shouted.
"You don't have to do this. We'll all miss you so much..." Fluttershy said.
"Darling, if you do this, I'll have nopony to be married to!" Rarity yelled.
"Neo, don't do this! If you do this, I'll lose one of my only friends!" Grace said.
"You can't change my mind! A few months ago, my life went all wacko! And I've had ENOUGH! So I'm ending this!" Neo said, who was still crying heavily.
"It doesn't have to be this way!" Pinkie said.
"I should've done this a long time ago when I was a filly." Neo said.
"If you happen to run into my dad, Eagle Feathers, tell him I love him." Neo said.
"NEO, WAIT!!!!" The five ponies shouted, but they were too late. Neo pulled the trigger, and blood splattered one side of the room. Neo fell to the floor, and a pool of blood surrounded her.
Pinkie literally burst into tears as soon as she saw her closest friend fall to the floor. Fluttershy was sobbing silently, Rainbow was close to crying, Rarity was crying in a very Unladylike manner, and for once, Applejack was crying on the outside.
They just lost one of the best friends they had.
--------------------
"Zecora! It's a pleasure to see you again." Neo said as she walked into a certain zebra's home in the Everfree Forest.
"It is indeed a pleasure to see you again my gaming pony, is there a reason why you wanted to see me?" Zecora said, in rhyme, of course.
"Yeeaaaah, I kinda ran out of food toppings for my food, and I was wondering if you could let me use some!" Neo said.
"I do have some things that have yet to be put to good use, but these ingredients should not be put through abuse."
"Yeah yeah yeah, thanks, bye!" Neo said, grabbing the bag Zecora gave to her, which was full of strange herbs 'n foreign spices, and running out of the tree-like house
Zecora sighed.
"I will be laughing at your crazy hallucinations, because you have just put yourself in a sticky situation." She said to nopony in particular.
--------------------
Neo burst awake from her sleep, and got into a sitting position, sweat covering most of her body, and her mane in such a tangle that it could put Pinkie's mane to shame.
"AAAAHHH! Oh, thank goodness, it was just some crazy nightmare..." Neo said between deep breaths. Deleted got onto Neo's bed and nuzzled her owner.
"All that wacko stuff was just a dream... Just a dream.... Whew. I don't have to worry about any wacko marriages or cruise..." Neo said to herself.
"Y'know," Deleted said, "I was the one who told you not to try those plants Zecora gave you."
"Heh, you're right. It was silly of me to not listen to you." Neo said as she gave Deleted a scratch behind the ears.
"Let's hope that none of that stuff ever happens, Deleted." Neo said.
Deleted just gave her a confused look.
