Monkey Business- Monkeying Around with Gods
Outside Fluttershy’s Cottage
“Wanna play Fetch?”
The single question got Winowa all riled up. She was really eager to play and Sun was glad to make her feel happy. Using the ball she gave her, he tossed it out into the fields in the distance as Raven soon approached him from inside the cottage.
“Hey, Whatcha doing?”
“Was Fluttershy keeping an eye on Applejack’s dog?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, she wanted me to play and dropped a ball and a bone in my lap, So I had her go chase the ball and when she brings it back, I’ll reward her with the bone.” Sun smiled, letting Raven know that he was doing okay before she went back in the cottage. He remembered having a dog like Winowa back home. But it died about a few months ago after some kids hit it in the middle of the street. He named it Coco since it was a Chocolate Labrador retriever.
Speaking of retrieving, Winowa was just about coming back, but she did not hold a ball this time. After all, the ball did not look like a white wolf puppy with red markings. Wait… does he look like-?
“LET GO OF ME!!!” The white wolf pup seemed to be “yelling”. Like he was freaking out for dear life. By the time Winowa dropped him in Sun’s lap, the Faunus was quite puzzled. Now though was when the dog decided to chew on the bone that was next to Sun as the white wolf was looking straight at him.
“Today is going to be one of those days… huh..” The wolf pup telepathically muttered, releasing a sigh.
“The hell?” Sun reacted. “Are you talking to me?”
“Wait, you’re not a anthro?!”
“Uh, no. I’m a Faunus.” He told the pup, tickling him a bit in the belly with his monkey tail. However, the Pup was not impressed. Not at all.
“... So I’m going with the Displaced path… Why are we so popular this week?!”
“Honestly, I thought I was throwing a toy of Winowa’s-.” Sun spoke before looking back at the dog, who had dropped the bone and casually decided to go in the cottage. However, after a few seconds, the bone began to glow. Probably due to the Terrier chewing out the darn thing in the first place. However, Sun was surprised to now see another wolf. This time, a full grown adult.
“... OK. I kinda want a explanation on why I disappeared from Sweetie’s visit and am now here… But I don’t think I want to know.” The wolf spoke telepathically as well.
“Oh hey look, It’s Mama Wolf.” Sun chuckled.
“Oh HAR DEE HAR HAR!” The pup growled as soon as Sun finished. The Faunus now noticed something off.
“Hey, is the filly behind you with you as well?” Sun asked, pointing to behind the wolf.
“M-mrs.. Amaterasu… I’m scared…” The filly whimpered.
“It’s ok Sweetie. They’re friends… I think.” Amaterasu said to the filly. Sun nodded his head, still tickling Chibi with his tail. That… was something that caught the Wolf’s attention immediately. Just what was this guy?
“Ok yeah, I think I do want that explanation now.” Amaterasu stated, sitting down with the filly in front of her.
“They’re displaced. And can you please stop that! It gives me bad vibes from yesterday…” The pup shouted, shivering a little.
“Just be glad it’s not a Grimm.” Sun told him. “Anyways, my name is Sun Wukong. I’m a Faunus, which is basically a human with Animal Characteristics and in my case, I have the characteristics of a Monkey. Earlier, after getting back from visiting another Displaced, Applejack’s dog dropped what looked like a bone and a red ball in my lap and since she looked like she wanted to play fetch, I had her chase after the ball. But instead, he brought this little guy and then summoned you after she chewed on the bone. Which reminds me… Where did that ball-?”
BOOM!!!
“-go.”
“I… think we found it…” The small wolf said, looking at the colorful explosion. Sun facepalmed himself, now realizing that the ball was a bomb and Amaterasu gave Chibi the most angry of glares from her. “What?! This isn’t my fault!!!”
“Technically…-”
“We didn’t even technically MAKE THESE TOKENS!”
At that moment, Sun looked back at the cottage and noticed something. It wasn’t Reson or Honeydew, but the same filly that tried to catch him in a fishing net earlier at-... Uh oh.
“Mr. Sun!!!”
“Aw crap…”
“Mrs Ammy… why does-”
“UUHHHH… C-Changeling? I really don’t want to explain the multiverse theory to you now!”
“Nope… that’s actually her.” Sun said. “The same filly that tried to catch me in a fishing net after she thought that I was a monster in her sister’s home when I went to go ask for some more clothes.”
“Rarity’s done with-............ CHANGELING!!”
With that, The twins, Sweetie Belle and Sweetie Belle from Ammy’s universe, ran in both directions screaming. But this time, Sun’s Sweetie Belle enveloped the other Sweetie Belle in her magic. “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CHANGELING CATCHER!!! YAY!!!”
“Sweetie, put her down…” Sun asked calmly. “That’s not a changeling.”
“Then why does it look like me?”
“That’s because it is you… From another universe.”
“ ……… Do I get my cutie mark in that universe?” She then asked, causing Chibi to facepaw himself.
“I don’t know.” Sun shrugged his shoulders, answering her question.
“Darn it! Had to try!!”
“Ammy, please help me separate the two of them before her friends show up and think the same thing…… Are they with you?”
“ ……Maybe?” Sweetie Belle replied, giving the Faunus a facial expression that made him think of cat like eyes.
“Uhhh… My sweetie belle? Uhhh…” Ammy looked around before settling on a small daisy growing in the lawn. She plucked it with her mouth and gave her Sweetie it. After she was set down on the ground of course.
“Wear this.”
“That should help with being able to tell the two of you apart.” Sun sighed, leaning back against the tree.
With a small giggle, Both of the fillies nodded. Everything had calmed down just a tad… Until two other fillies showed up.
“Hey Sweetie, Did you see the Prince from Yakghanistan in town- WHAT THE HAY!?!”
The reaction came from the shocked pair of Applebloom and Scootaloo as they stared at the two Sweetie Belles… Only one thought came on their minds. “CHANGELING!!!”
“Ah crap.” Sun smacked his face as Chibi facepawed himself again. The two other filles leaped towards their own Sweetie Belle and Amaterasu’s Sweetie. Saying the same phrase that Sweetie said a few moments ago. For the longest amount of time, the four of them argued amongst one another and despite Ammy’s best intentions, she couldn’t find a way to calm them down.
“So what now?” Chibi spoke up, watching with amusement.
BANG!!!
The loud shot caused all of them to stop as they looked at Sun, who was holding Ruyi Bang in one of his hands while an Apple dropped into his other hand. “No need to be disrespectful, but is everypony done with the arguing and shouting?”
“Holy- Is that a gun?!” Chibi shouted in surprise.
“I really think we probably should worry more about other things than guns…” Ammy grumbled.
“They’re Gunchaku. Basically… Nunchaku shotguns.” Sun explained, showing them in their Nunchaku form before combining them into his Bo Staff. The Cutie Mark Crusaders just watched in awe as the Faunus showed his weapons to the four of them (if you count the other Sweetie Belle being the fourth one) before Chibi spoke up.
“So… You’re a Donatello/Michelangelo kind of guy?” He said, causing Amaterasu to facepaw herself.
“You can say that, however, there are some differences.” Sun replied back. For one thing, I have a semblance.”
“Erm ok.” Ammy muttered, losing interest.
“Let me demonstrate…” The Faunus soon clapped his hands, creating two silhouette Doppelgangers of himself that were a transparent gold. “My semblance is decoy, which allows me to use my energy to create clones which can detonate on contact.” As a demonstration, he tossed a rock at the two clones he made and both of them exploded in a puff of smoke.
“Impressive.” Chibi commented.
“Plus my weapons are also built in shotguns, but I think you know that already.” Sun replied.
“Like I said before, Impressive.”
“Thanks… Maybe we should get moving though back to town before Rarity comes looking for Sweetie Belle and sees two of her sister.” Sun replied. However, a few seconds later, something slipped from the Faunus’ pockets that caught Chibi’s attention.
“Hm?” Curious, the pup wandered over. Looking over, the one thing that caught his attention was a photograph that contained a familiar face.
Max Caulfield.
“Did… ” Chibi mentally spoke before shaking his head.
“Hey! Hurry up!” Ammy shouted. In response, Chibi quickly picked up the picture, putting a mental reminder in his head to return it to Sun. Soon, the faunus, ponies, and both wolves made their way over to the Carousel Boutique. Once there, Sun gave a couple of knocks and the response he got was a cheerful “Come in!” in a melodic tone.
“Well, Ladies first.” Sun told them as he opened the door and had to use his foot to hold Chibi back so he waited his turn. “Now we go in.”
With small irritated look, The smaller wolf went in. ‘Note to self, Complain to Ammy when we get back.’ He thought as he passed through the entry.
“I heard that, pup.” Sun said. “Sorry about the wait, Rarity. I had a few… surprise guests.”
“It’s alright darling.” The Seamstress replied, but stopped after looking at Ammy and Chibi. “Oh my… Why those two creatures look stunningly beautiful!”
“Why thank you.” Ammy replied, smiling… or a wolf’s variant of a smile.
“W-what? Sun, did that creature just… Speak?”
“Rarity, I would like you to meet Amaterasu and Chibiterasu. They’re friends of mine from another Equestria. Oh and in addition, they brought along a friend of theirs.”
“Sweetie? It’s just another Rarity, Nothing to be-” Ammy said, pushing her Sweetie Belle up.
“But it’s not the Rarity I remember!”
“Sweetie Belle? Darling, is that you?” The older Unicorn asked.
“Nah, This universe’s Sweetie is over there.” Chibi said, looking over at said filly, who was right now gathering the clothes that Sun had requested Rarity to make for him. It took a while for Rarity to recognize the difference, but after some time though, she could tell who was who.
“My word… You, my dear, look absolutely stunning!” Rarity paused, her eyes flickering a little upon seeing the flower in her hair and looking back at the two wolves in the room. “IDEA!!!”
Within minutes, the seamstress began to work, creating a simple; yet elegant scarf for the young filly that was based on the White and red fur along the bodies of Amaterasu and Chibiterasu and also the daisy that she was wearing. It was quite a standout if she did say so herself.
Using her magic to wrap it around her, Rarity then posed a question. “How do you like it, Darling?”
“Wow! I-i… Love it!” Sweetie shouted, losing all fear inside her.
“It looks great on you, Sweetie!” Sun replied. “Picture perfect if I do say so myself.”
In a single second, Chibi felt a moment of Deja vu. “Oh dear- Where did that come from?!”
“Something wrong, Chibi?” Sun asked, noticing the wolf flinch at the corner of his eye.
“I just felt like this happened before or somethin’” He said before mentally slapping himself. “Dunno how I forgot, But this fell out of your pocket a few minutes ago.” With that, Chibi set down the picture in front of Sun.
“Oh wow, I didn’t think the photo from my cousin’s invitation would fall out so easily. Thanks Chibi.” He replied, bending over in order to pick up the picture before sitting on a nearby bench.
“Invite?” Amaterasu asked, a little confused by the statement as the Cutie Mark Crusaders from this world went back outside to play while Ammy’s Sweetie Belle stuck with Chibi inside the Boutique.
“My cousin Lance has a wedding coming up and he asked me to be the best man. I was going to write back and tell him yes, but I just need to figure out HOW to do that.” The Faunus sighed a little. “Lucky devil he is to be starting his own family.”
“Looks like we’ll be payin’ her a little visit.” Amaterasu remarked in Chibiterasu’s direction.
“Who?” He asked, not understanding what Ammy was talking about.
“Max! You remember her! Sadly, I do.”
“Oh! Right, her…”
“Not only that, but there seems to be a lot planned. Including the baby shower that’s listed here.”
“Wait, you mean-”
“Yes, that happened.” Sun sighed. “The signs are a little obvious with the date of the baby shower and the fact that she had the kids in front of her, where it would seem a bit… noticeable.”
“Oh my. Well… I guess that Lance and her are lucky at least.” Chibi spoke up.
“Something tells me you know Max though… Do you?” Sun’s observation surprised the two wolves, but it was kind of obvious. Especially with Chibi’s reaction to the mentioning of her name.
“I guess it’s obvious. We found her token in the middle of a lazy day. I got a new sword from it though.” Ammy briefly explained.
“Well, that explains things. Hey, maybe you two should go see her. Maybe you’ll get invited to the wedding as well? Take Sweetie with you as well. Her cuteness might go well with the Filly Rainbow Dash she and Lance are raising.”
“Oh you mean the one who jumps on me every time?” Chibi asked, looking a little scared.
“Yeah her. From what I can tell, she already has three siblings with a fourth on the way so the more love and attention she gets, the stronger she’ll grow up to be.” Sun smiled, using his hands to pet behind Chibi’s ears almost like how Faith met him when the two wolves met Nicko and Faith Nocte.
“Oh god! Not the petti- Ok, Why am I complaining? I’m probably going to be pet by every single displaced I meet!” Chibiterasu started to complain. Sun just ignored his pleas as he continued, using his tail to tickle Amaterasu around the ears as well. Making sure that it wasn’t in a creepy like manner like what Chibiterasu said earlier.
Looking outside, Sun now turned towards his guests. “If you would excuse me, I need to help the girls deal with a…… problem.”
“Give it back, Diamond!!”
“Or else what? You’re going to cry to your sister, Sweetie?”
From the commotion outside, it seemed like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were cornering Sweetie Belle. They happened to have taken her saddle bag, which had some of Sun’s clothes in it, along with some personal items.
“Oh dear… Sound like trouble.” Ammy said, looking in the direction of the voice. What she didn’t notice at the time was Sun on the rooftop perch above the fillies. Putting his finger to his mouth like he was trying to tell them to be quiet.
“What’re-” Chibi was silenced by a shush from his companion as they quieted down. To their surprise, without getting caught, they saw Sun as he lowered himself down like a spider and lightly pulled off Diamond’s tiara along with taking the bag that was set aside on the ground. After a few seconds though, the filly felt the lack of weight on her head and watched as Sun landed next to Sweetie.
“Looking for something?”
“H-how dare you-!? Do you know who I am-!?”
“Yes and all you need to know is that I got friends that’ll scare you six ways from sunday. Plus, you might not want to mess with my companions so to speak.”
“Oh wait, Uhhh…” Chibi muttered.
“That’s DIAMOND TIARA!” Amaterasu shouted as the two wolves and their Sweetie Belle peeked outside.
Needless to say, Diamond’s face was priceless the moment she saw the second Sweetie.
“W-what!?! T-t-t-two Sweetie Belles!?!!”
Sun began to giggle a little in response to Diamond’s reaction. There was no way for her to tell which one was the real one. She even assumed that Sweetie learned a cloning spell to make a duplicate version of herself to drive her nuts. The Faunus was enjoying seeing this. “Maybe this will make you think twice before trying to pick on somepony else again… Run along now…” He ushered, followed by Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon bolting out of there as fast as they can.
“See? Problem solved.” He told his Sweetie Belle happily. “Now, is there anything else we could take care of before we help get you guys back to your home?”
Both Ammy and Chibi looked at each other, trying to think of the possibilities. Then, they shook their heads. “Nah, I think we’re good.”
“Okay, I guess our contract is complete.”
Later
It was only a few hours after Amaterasu and Chibiterasu went home with their own Sweetie Belle while Sun had to help get the Cutie Mark Crusader back home. Thankfully, he wasn’t given any grief about the situation back in Ponyville… Yet. But hey, as of right now, he just needed to focus on getting some rest.
But getting that rest was easier said than done. When he came back, Fluttershy had her hooves full with taking care of her animals, Reson and his sister, and Kreed.With Discord being busy with Raven and it almost being close to curfew, Sun could only do one thing as he sat down on the bed.
Sleep.
