//------------------------------// // Ahuizotl // Story: Ponyville confessions // by Lunaexcelsior //------------------------------// So I’m sitting there, tending bar, when in comes one of my more bizarre customers, Ahuizotl. Now, Ahuizotl is a creature that I always had a difficulty of describing. To me he looked like a cross between a cat and a gorilla with a monkey paw. But, hey that’s just me. However, the worst thing about him is that he always, and I do mean always, brings his posse of feral minions wherever he goes. They always chase away my customers. As he sits down, I noticed how depressed he looked. “So, what’l it be, Mr. Zotl?” I asked him. “Milk for the cats and a White Russian for me”, he said. I gave the cats the drink. The tiger, lynx and the cheetah were rather calm, although the panther did growl at me. However, that mangy white cat jumped at me face and began to scratch me. “Razor Tooth, heel!” Ahuizotl yelled to the cat “That’s a bad kitty!” The cat let go off my face. My tux was in ruins, my mane was ruffled up, but my moustache was alright. I call that a win. “So, what bothers you, Mr. Zotl?” I asked. “I got into a fight with Fluttershy,” he said depressingly. “What happened?” I asked. “Well,” he began “I was just walking down, plotting my new plan, when all of a sudden I saw a map on the ground. It was a treasure map of the legendary draconequus, Drizzlecurd.” I chuckled. You have to hand it to Discord. When he wants to mess with somepony, he will mess with them big time. “Go on,” I said. “Apparently, whoever posses this treasure, holds the fate of the world in his paws,” Ahuizotl yelled with a greedy glint in his eyes “And I couldn’t let an opportunity like that fall in the hooves of that meddling Daring Do!” “Of course,” I said. “I began following the map to a tee, preparing to steal that treasure once and for all, “ Ahuizotl claimed. “Did you succeed?” I asked. “Well yes and no,” Ahuizotl scratched the back of his head “As it tunred out the ancient treasure was in Fluttershy’s cottage. She caught me digging beneath it and, long story short, she got upset.” “Ouch!” I proclaimed. “It got really messy, so I ad to leave for a bit”, Ahuizotl said, “I’m going in there right now to try and make things right. I am even ready to give up my treasure hunting, if it would please her,” he said and gulped down his White Russian. “Really? Her friendship means that much to you?” I asked. “What can I say?” he said as he paid for the drink and prepared to leave “That mare has a strange influence on all of us.” I nodded my head and wished him good luck. I tell you, Fluttershy is one of the most influential mares in this town. If it reduces the villain count in the city, I am all for it. You see a lot of weird things as a bartender. You see a lot of weird things at the Hay Palace. So, I see a lot of weird things as a bartender at the Hay Palace. And that’s no lie. Swear on me mum.
