Oh good...more books. // Story: A Majin's Journey. // by Tom2rules //------------------------------// Note: Sorry about how long this took everyone...I swear the next one won't take this long... Note End. Chapter 5: Fashion and...Hey Pinkie! Give that Back!! “It’s not funny!” Rainbow Dash protested, but Applejack ignored her and continued to laugh her flank off. At the moment, the four ponies and single Majin were currently taking a small rest at Applejack’s farm. Most of the group felt that it was about time to take a breather after the recent events…which included Rainbow’s unfortunate meeting with the Majin and their arrival at the farm. Now that she had a chance, Pinkie started to tell Applejack all about Buu and the insanity that he had brought with him to this humble planet. She spoke about her original meeting with the Majin and the duo’s encounters with Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. Everything was going fine…until Pinkie mentioned how Buu greeted Rainbow Dash… “He turned you into a cupcake! How can that not be funny?!” Applejack chuckled. If there was ever a moment that Rainbow wished that she could take to the grave…it was that. How would anyone take her seriously if they knew she had once been transformed into a bloody cupcake? “We’re going to go introduce Buu to Rarity!” Pinkie giggled, “How about joining us?” Applejack gave her a sad smile before shaking her head, “Sorry sugar, but I’ve got too much work on my hooves to go at the moment.” Indeed, before she was interrupted by Buu and the others, Applejack was busy bucking apples for her farm’s business. And by the look of it, she still had A LOT of work to get done before she could join her friends in any of their random situations they were sure to get into. “Ah really? Are you sure? Super duper sure?” Pinkie asked, not wanting her friend to miss out on anything fun that could happen. And knowing Buu…something was bound to happen sooner than any of them expected. Speaking of Buu… “I hate the wait…” Buu grumbled. Having overheard their conversation; Buu figured that he would most likely have to sit around and wait for these ponies to figure out what the heck they were going to do. And Buu hated waiting. Heck, the last time Buu had to ‘wait’ for something, he ended up exterminating nearly the entire population of Earth. So ‘waiting’ for anything, even these ponies was out of the question. But then a thought struck the Majin. If he could somehow finish all of this ‘work’ that Applejack had to do, then she could join them and all of them could get moving once again (and Pinkie Pie would shut up for a few minutes at least). Then, Buu remembered a certain piece of information that the cowpony had mentioned before… “Unless you’re willing to pay for that, ah’d consider dropping that apple.” The apples! How could he of not realized this earlier?! They were in a forest filled to the brim with apple trees! How could they not be related? It was so simple that even Buu could realize it. Sitting up from the stump that he had been resting on, Buu slowly made his way to the closest apple tree. But while the Majin was doing this, he unknowingly gained the attention of the ponies. “What’s he up too…” Applejack muttered, not liking where the Majin was heading. “Oooh! Maybe he is going to turn those apples into candy!” Pinkie cheered, loving her idea. Just the thought of a tree’s entire supply of apples being turned into a bunch candy coated treats just delighted her. Applejack on the other hand looked horrified at that idea, “He better not! I’ll knock that varmint’s head off again if he does!” Now less than a few feet from the tree, Buu slowly lifted his leg upward before delivering a swift kick to the trunk. At first nothing happened, at the most only a few leaves fell off. But then with much surprise, every single apple that was attached to the tree’s branches suddenly came loose and fell to the ground in a thump. Applejack and the others looked in awe at such a development…but Buu just smirked. It was time to get to work. Using a combination of instant transmission and his enhanced strength, the Majin quickly emptied the entire grove of trees of their apples. Applejack was at awe, she really could have used a guy like him whenever the farm was late with their harvests…or when she nearly worked herself to death that one time, either would have been fine. So, in a few minutes (which would have taken the earth pony a few hours) Buu completely harvested all the apples from the grove of trees that Applejack had been working on. “Well I’ll be…” Applejack whispered, stunned at the sight of all of her normal work being done in a matter of minutes. It was like nothing she had ever seen. Buu soon reappeared in front of the ponies with a grin. He got to hit something! Sure it wasn’t the same as slaughtering a entire species or fighting those saiyans, but as far as Buu was concerned it was enough…for now. Pinkie Pie on the other hand was delight for a whole other reason. With Buu having finished all of Applejack’s work for the day, she could now join the group of ponies in Pinkie’s self induced mission of introducing Buu to all of her friends! “So what do you say? Wana come join us now?! Please!?” Pinkie asked, getting right up in Applejack’s face, her eyes bugging out in the process. Applejack leaned backwards as her friend got a little too close for comfort, but she then took a nice look at the fields. Her work was all done now…all she had to do was to tell Big Mac that she was finished and then she would be free to go. So what’s the harm? Applejack shrugged, “Ah what the hay, sure Pinkie. I’ll come along.” “Yay!” Pinkie cheered before giving the cowpony a quick hug. She then turned her active attention over to the Majin. Grasping one of his arms with her hooves, the Pink pony gave Buu a huge grin. “Come on Buuy! Let’s go get a head start on these slow-pokes!” Pinkie grinned before running off with a laugh, but what she didn’t notice was a small smirk on Buu’s face as she did so. Not this time Pinky. As Pinkie started her run, she didn’t notice the sound of a small ‘pop’ as she took off. Nothing stopped the Pink pony as she ran toward Ponyville. But while she wanted to take her friend with her in her dash, all she got was a single pink arm. Buu grinned to himself as he watched the pink creature vanish into the distance. The Majin was really getting tired of that pink pony dragging him along the ground like a sack of potatoes’. So the Majin figured, why not use his control over his body to his advantage? So when Pinkie took off in a dash, Buu separated his arm from his body. Pinkie in her over activeness didn’t notice the lack of weight and kept running. Buu couldn’t help but let out a laugh at this, he couldn’t wait to see the Pink pony’s face when she realized that she had been fooled. The other members of the group just stood by and watched the scene before them. Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash nearly laughed as they saw, having expected as much from what they had already witnessed the Majin was capable of. Applejack was still a little on edge by the display… -A few minutes Later Ponyville- It took Buu (who was still missing a arm) and the others only a few minutes to arrive at their destination, which by Buu’s standards was a little too long… Still, after following Pinkie’s Kai, the Majin and other Ponies soon found themselves in front of a grand structure. Comparing this structure to the others that he had seen, Buu had to admit that this structure seemed to be the most sophisticated house in all of Ponyville. It was just as colorful as the other housed that made of the buildings but it was also much more decorated and unique the all of the others. Heck, one could even compare its shape to a carousel. Still there was one thing that was lacking from the Majin’s sight…and that was one pink, colorful pony. “Weird…you’d think that Pinkie would be waiting for us…” Fluttershy wondered. Despite following the Pony to this very spot, Buu couldn’t find one trace of the pony (and knowing Pinkie…that is quite a feat). Buu was even started to become frustrated with this development, where the heck did she go!? But before Buu’s frustration reached a boiling point, one of the windows of the boutique suddenly opened and a familiar pink head popped out of it. “Hey girls! Watcha waiting out there for? The door is open and Rarity and I are waiting for you inside!” Having heard their friend's words, the three ponies that had followed Buu to the boutique nodded at that little piece of information and walked inside her friend's shop. But before Buu could do the same, Pinkie called out to him once more. “Oh and Buu! Thanks for the back scratcher!” Pinkie shouted in glee. Buu gave her a small shrug in response before following the others inside. But before long a little piece of information stuck Buu in the head like sack of hammers (or a Super Saiyan’s fist). What back scratcher? Flying through the building until he found the ponies (which included a white unicorn that he had never seen before), Buu saw a sight that nearly made his head twist around in surprise. Pinkie Pie was using his arm…as a back scratcher! Now you would expect that anyone would instantly freak out at the sight of a severed limb. But Pinkie, once again proving that she is much different than average creatures…didn’t seem bothered by the body part at all. Hell, she was using it as a tool for her amusement! Still, use of his limb in such a manner bothered Buu to a certain degree (blowing his body to bits he could handle, but using a piece of his body as a bloody back scratchier! Now that that was going too far!). As the ponies conversed among themselves, Buu quickly stomped over to the pink pony and took back his arm (thus reattaching it to his torso). But as he did so, Buu unknowingly gained the attention of the boutique’s owner. “Oh my! What fantastically unique attire you have! Although that ‘M’ on your belt seems a little tacky, your pants and belt are simply divine! Even those things on your arms match! Simply-“ Buu simply looked onward in confusion as the Unicorn complemented his clothes, having no idea how to respond to this. Seeing how Buu’s clothes were actually a part of him, Buu could alter his attire whenever he wanted, so to him it wasn’t that big of a deal. Too bad Buu had never seen anyone even a little obsessed with fashion. But seeing the utter confusion on her guest’s face, the Unicorn instantly covered his mouth in shame. “How shameful of me, I’m terribly sorry for the sudden overreaction to your attire. I haven’t even introduced myself!” The Unicorn apologized to the Majin (not that he cared). "My name is Rarity deary, its a pleasure to meet you." The Unicorn identified herself, extending one of her hoofs forward as if for a hoof shake (Handshake for Buu). Buu reluctantly took the pony's hoof and gave it a shook (noticing that it felt like a marshmallow in the meantime). The Majin was kind of getting tired of all the happy greetings that he was receiving every time he meet one of these ponies (expect the rainbow and cowboy ones...). Normally when a creature saw Buu they either did two things. A). Laugh at him and make fun of him....(which resulted in Buu blowing them into non existence). or... B). Run in terror (which resulted in the same thing as option A). So with the current difference from the norm that was currently going on...Buu just hoped there would be something he could blow up soon...that or a giant monster that he could turn into gumballs, which ever came first. "Um...and your name is?" Rarity asked, but Buu was currently knees deep in his own subconscious...so there was no development there. Luckily, Pinkie was nearby in order to fill in the blanks. "This little guy is named Buu!" Pinkie cheered as she padded the Majin on the shoulder, "Just don't call him Buuy! or he'll turn you into a marshmallow!" Rarity raised an eyebrow at Pinkie's sudden comment. Pinkie was weird, that's one of the reasons why they loved her...but that comment was a little...out there for even Pinkie standards. "Pinkie...what in Canterlot's name are you talking about?" Pinkie's smile suddenly expanded tenfold and launched herself onto Buu's shoulders and shook his head like bowling ball, "Oh, Buu can turn anything into candy! Even Pon-" But before the pink pony could finish, a cyan colored hoof suddenly plugged up Pinkie's mouth like a cork in a wine bottle. Looking to the side, Rarity noticed that Rainbow Dash was suddenly floating to Pinkie's side. "Don't ask Rarity...trust me on that." Rainbow Dash muttered and to Rarity's surprise, Applejack nodded at this statement as well. "Yeah...that's something you really don't want to hear about..." Applejack told her fancy friend...although, her mouth was a bit lopsided at this point...with a little giggles on the side. Hearing that come out of Applejack (the element of Honestly), Rarity dropped the question and continued to look over Buu's outfit. Meanwhile Buu himself...well he was trying to pry Pinkie off his shoulders. ...how a creature with no fingers or claws could stick onto his shoulders were beyond him... -A few minutes later, Ponyville's Library/Twilight's house.- After a surprising few minutes, Buu finally pried the Pink Party pony off his shoulders (No seriously, how was that pony hanging onto his back?!) and the group was able to finally able to journey off to their final destination...which is odd seeing how this was actually Pinkie's first stop off at. Pinkie was actually able to convince Rarity by simply telling he that she could study Buu's clothing at some point later (which Buu nearly blow her head off with Kamehameha for but Fluttershy was able to distract him with pie...he still doesn't know where she got it from in such short notice). But back to the point, the group of ponies and single Majin soon returned to the place Buu and Pinkie had arrived at earlier that same day, Twilight's Tree house...again. The giant avalanche of books that Buu and Pinkie had accidentally caused last time they were there was still there...although it was considerably smaller this now. But looking closer at the shrinking pile of books, the group noticed the source of the sinking pile of books. There was a small purple dragon running back and forth between the library's shelves and the pile of books...who looked extremely annoyed at his job. "Oh sure, clean up the mess Spike. It won't take but a few minutes Spike, I swear it won't...blah, blah, blah. Why am I always the janitor when random crap like this happens?!" Spike muttered as he walked back to the pile. But it was at this point that Spike finally noticed the Majin standing in the doorway along with the other ponies standing behind him. None of the group said anything at this moment (not even Pinkie said anything...how the heck did that even happen?) while Spike stared onward at them. "Twilight...there is a big pink-thing standing at the door..." Spike shouted back into the library, his eyes never leaving the strange and yet frightening figure that was Majin Buu. Buu's red piercing eyes staring into the dragon, filling him with a fear that no monster or pony had ever done before. A monster that could cause so much destruction and pain, pain that not even Celestia could comprehend. So much hate and...suffering. "...it looks like its going to eat me!!" Oh, that and Buu was thinking about how he could turn Spike into a soda...nothing much. P.S: I'm sorry for how long it took for this one. Writing chapters on Buu meeting the Main Six was a major pain in the butt (Sorry, but when the last few chapter focused on meet and greets were really groaning in my opinion). These chapters were a pain in the end to write... But Hell! Don't worry my friends! There will be explosions and massive Majin induced chaos that Discord would cheer for will come next! ^^THIS!! PREPARE PONIES! CHAOS WILL HAPPEN!!...Just not the kind Discord likes...
