//------------------------------// // Ch. 3 // Story: Fangs // by punker1234567 //------------------------------// After listening to Pinkie talk about her adventures and what not, she just suddenly stopped. No warning, just stopped. After a moment, she looked at me. "Oops!" She said, a bit embarrassed. "I forgot, the others wanted to meet you!" She beamed at me again, like she always does. "Umm...others? What do you mean by 'others'?" I looked at her with confusion, faking it all. I knew exactly who she was talking about, the other main 6. "Yeah! My other bestest friends in Ponyville!" She bounced out of the room and through a door, so I decided to follow her. That was until I noticed something off about the town. The hospital was crowded with ponies, most of which were from bites. I still didn't understand it, what crazy ponies were just going around biting other ponies? Was there just a gang of crazy-ass ponies deciding that biting ponies is fun? Oh boy, how stupid I was. Eventually, she led me to the hospital and into Fluttershy's room, where the others were standing around Fluttershy's hospital bed, looking at her in concern. She was in a good condition, they just seemed to be worried just beacause she was one of their closest friends. However, I did notice that she had a large cast on her knee, which she was somewhat able to bend so she could walk, but not run. Pinkie Pie, as I assumed, was the one to introduce me to the others. Let me just say, I was trying extremely hard not to do something like say, "OH MY GOD IT'S THE FUCKING MAIN 6 I'M SO EXCITED JESUS FUCKING AWESOME SAUCE.", but I managed. Fluttershy looked at me and gave a weak smile. "Oh...hello, Tech." said Fluttershy. "Thank you, again." "It wasn't a big deal, really. Just trying to be helpful." I smiled a little bit back at her, still holding back a shit-load of excitement when I heard a familiar voice from behind me. "Helpful and modest? I think this guy is a bit of a softy." It was Rainbow Dash. Somehow, I didn't even care that she teased me. Usually, I'm sensitive to that kind of stuff, but now, I just really didn't care. "Well...yeah, I guess I am." I chuckled a little bit and took a seat on a chair. "Oh, sorry, I'm Tech Jam. What are your names?" ~I gotta play along with this whole thing. So far, so good.~ "Rainbow Dash." said...well, you know. Rainbow Dash. "Applejack, nice to meet ya." Applejack tipped her hat towards me, and smiled. "Nice to meet you too, Applejack." I smiled back at her. "I'm Twilight Sparkle. Hey, just asking, are you new here? Or do you just keep to yourself?" "Well, it's probably both, really. I usually don't talk to many ponies, I just stay inside and write. Or play music." "The creative type? I think you and I are going to get along well!" I turned to see Rarity smile at me. ~OH SWEET JESUS RARITY WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND! THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE! Wait...calm down, Kris...or Tech, as it is now.~ "Well, I hope so. It sucks not getting along with other ponies. Anyway, I-" I froze in my sentence when I heard a bloodcurdling scream come from another hospital room and a sudden *CHOMP*. "Evacuate the hospital! There has been an outbreak! Evacuate the hospital!" The loudspeaker was blaring and an alarm started to ring. Before I knew it, ponies were rushing through the halls and other ponies were biting their necks. My first instinct was, 'Get Fluttershy on my back and run', so that's what I did. However, it wasn't myself who caused it. It was Twilight. She just used her magic to pick her up, put her on my back. "Get her to her cottage!" Twilight exclaimed in my direction. "Just run!" Listening to the commands, I ran. As I ran down the halls, Fluttershy was holding her arms around my torso, hanging on for dear life. That is, until one of those crazy vampire ponies, or "vamponies" as I'm going to call them, pounced me and almost managed to bite me. I had to buck it off so hard it literally hit the wall with a solid *THUMP* and the wall had cracked. I got Fluttershy back on my back and continued to run off towards her cottage. ~Well, just great...~ I thought to myself, ~First day in Ponyville and I nearly get turned into a vampony. Terrific.~ I layed Fluttershy on her bed and sat next to her. "...that's what I was running from last night." Fluttershy told me. "One of those things were chasing me, and I stumbled and fell on my leg." She looked at her leg, then back at me. "...what are those things?" "I honestly don't know myself." I told her. Well, looks like this is going to be a lot worse than I thought.
