//------------------------------// // Job Well Bad // Story: They call me Sky // by dereturd //------------------------------// "Ross we need some cash." Sky stated. It has been 2 days after they played the Do Not Laugh with the mane six. Adam, after having some training sessions with Rainbow Dash. She gave him a day-off this day. He was about to buy some stuff, only to find out he had no currency. Ross, also didn't have any money at all. However, he was able to understand a little of this world by now and got used to what he says. "Adam, it's called 'bits'." Ross corrected. "Bits? What are these, lil' bits from Rick and Morty huh?" Adam answered back with an angered tone. "No, they're gold coins." Ross simply replied calmly. "Coins? Great, we have the bankers here acting like old people-" "Ponies." Ross interrupted. "Whatever, where they just count it coin by coin instead of bills." Adam continued. "No, I saw them how they do it. They just put the coins in a safe or in the vault. After they just count it inside." Ross said. "Well that's down. But what jobs can we do?" He asked. "There's technology here but not in Ponyville. So, I guess no Youtubing anymore." "Well, can we sell some things?" "Maybe. Let's ask some ponies here." The duo just went from cart to cart, asking if they are for hire. But there were a lot of no's coming from them. After a while, the duo gave up. The duo then sat down under a tree, resting for some bit. "What the hell are Gizzy and the others doing?" Adam broke the silence. "I have no clue." Ross replied. "Hey y'all!" A voice called them, they turned to the source. Only to looks at Applejack and Apple Bloom. "Hey there mister.." "Sky." "Ross." Both of them introduced to Apple Bloom. "Mr. Sky and Mr. Ross!" Apple Bloom happily said. "What bring you two here with us?" Ross asked. "Ah heard some voices sayin' they need some job to do." Applejack started. "So Ah I realized it was ye'ou two fellas!" She added. "Well, what job do you do?" Adam asked. "Well, we both sell some aapples." Apple Bloom replied. 'Heh, apples.' Adam thought, remembering a friend of him with a thing for apples. "Sure." Adam agreed. The duo got up and followed the earth ponies to the market. "If y'all are workin' for me now, then ya' have ta' wear 'tis." Applejack said, handing two white aprons for the duo. "And as for y'all," She looked at Sky. "Ya' need to wear 'tis." She said as Apple Bloom handed him normal glasses. "NO! I'M NOT WEARING THAT." Adam replied firmly. "Adam, please. If you want to get some money then wear that for fuck sake." Ross unintentionally cursed as Applejack gave an odd look. "Please? Not when a filly is 'ere." Applejack said. "I swear to god NO!!!" Adam yelled, he pushed away Apple Bloom's hoof as the glasses clatter on the grass, Sky, angered, stepped on the eyewear, the sound of glass shattering and plastic clattering made Applejack and Apple Bloom drop their jaws at. "Adam, calm down." Ross said. "NO! I'M NOT TAKING A DAMN BREAK!! SCREW THIS ROSS!" Adam angrily shouted at the market as several ponies stopped and glared at him. Angry, he flared up his wings and flew to Rainbow Dash's home. Flashback Ross and Adam were chatting by the background, on their way to get to the market and sell some apples. "Ross, I disagree on this." Adam whispered. "It's fine. As long as they unintentionally renact the fanfiction Outta my Mind. We're good." Ross whispered back. "Where did you read those things?" Adam asked almost loud that the two can hear, (Since they were busy planning to sell some things.) "Internet of course." Ross replied. "What even happened?" Adam asked. "Well, Vanoss' friend--Delirious--got tired of his bullcrap, so he left and got mad at him. While somepony comforted him." Ross replied. Flashback Ends "Well, it happened." Adam muttered to himself. He stopped at the yard. He gazed at the sunset. Man, they started their day late and it's getting much more late. He sat down and thiught about his next moves. 'Should I forgive him or..' He thought. 'No, screw Ross. I got better thongs to work on.' He walked in, he yelled creating a mass soundwave of echo calling Rainbow Dash, but no response. He sighed. He walked by and stopped by the home's balcony. He again gazed on the sunset, waiting for the chilly moon to rise up. He again sighed, putting down his head as his hooves were laid on the railings. He closed his eyes. He remembered some times he and Ross had some awesome memories and some bad ones. From Do Not Laughs to angry jokes he mad, they were still friends at the end of the day. But this time, his real body was fused with his pony character, now wearing the puppet's body. This time however, was real life. They were stuck in a 5-year-old's world one can wish to live in. But nothing can change the fact that he was either a jerk or Ross was. "Hey." A voice called out, he slowly turned looking at Rainbow Dash. "Why the long face?" She asked. No answer. "What's wrong?" She asked again trotting towards him. Still, no answer. "Are you okay?" She asked, she was about to put her hoof by his shoulder when he replied- "Yeah. Everything's fine." She puts her hoof on his shoulders. "Look, we or I may have told you're boys that we were the elements of harmony and I was loyalty right? Even though I can't help you, but I can tell you something if you tell me you're problem." She said. "I don't know if you're lying or not, I can tell you." She again said. "Or else I'll kick you outta my home." She said. She waited for an answer. "Fine." She angrily said, about to grab him when he answered- "You want the fuckin' truth? One of my best friends abandoned me." "So some of you got up and left 'ya?" She asked. Ignoring his swear. "I dunno man, maybe Ross' the jerk or I'm the bad guy." He said. "I mean," He started, raising his head and looking at Dash. "We may insult, manipulate, kill each other, but at the end of the day we're still friends. But this time, he crossed the line." Adam said. "It was greed that overtook him he wanted money for himself, shegave me glasses but I refused. You wanna see why?" Dash nodded. Adam took off his shades, he revealed his closed eyes and opened it. Dash's eyes widened. Adam's eye was blood red, it was like and about to burst, until he had shades to hinder pain to his vision. He puts back his shades on. "Now you know." He sighed. "I dunno, we were hungry and needed money, so we decided to work, and it turned out bad." He added. "My bond with my friends is strong and can't just be severed. I don't want to walk a path lonely, 'cause our bond is the magic." He added. "You're right, friendship and bond are the same thing and it whats keeps us together you know?" Dash agreed. "You know what Rainbow Dash?" Sky said her name for the first time. "What?" "I think we've said one of the most gayest things ever-" He was then cut off when the pegasus smacked his head. "OW!" Adam cried in pain. "Keep saying that and you'll get more." She said they shared a laugh together as the moon now raised up. "I'll see 'ya tomorrow Sky." She said. "Adam." He corrected. "Right Adam.. Goodnight." Dash said, yawning and trotting to her room. Sky takes off his shades, closes his eyes and talked in his mind before getting in deep sleep. 'I should say sorry to Ross. And Applejack too.'
