//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: An Alicorn Is In Town? // Story: Resurrection // by Z-A-C //------------------------------// It has been an hour and we still couldn't think of any names for my alicorn form. A few did pop up but they weren't that great and I didn't like them. It was starting to get frustrating. "Augh! I don't know then!" "Well do I have a um...cutie mark?" "Uh let me see." She circled me around. "Its a circle with lines through it." "Hmm....." I grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil with my teeth(this was weird) and drew cross-hairs. "Kind of like this?" "Yeah that's it! Now what does it mean?" "If I had a scope I would show you." "A what?" "Its a smaller version of a telescope that's mounted onto a rifle and scopes have these in them." "You don't have one?" "Nope never had enough money to get a scope mounted on my rifle." "I see." "Yep but back to the names." "Right. Hmm....." "How about Deadshot?" "Um....I don't think so but lets go with that in case we cant think of anything else." "Ok lets see....True Shooter?" "Better but I'm still not sure." After about another 45 minutes of thinking we decided that "True Shooter" would be better than "Deadshot" and it also might be less scary to some ponies. I mentioned to Twilight that being an alicorn might be intimidating for most ponies anyway and she agreed. She tried transforming me into a pegasus and the other type of ponies and each time I transformed into an alicord with the same colors and cutie mark. "Well looks like I'm staying an alicorn." "Yes....you....are and if you want me to try again your out of luck." "I'll get use to it." "Ok I used to much energy I'm going to lay down." "Alright I'll go to Rarity's shop then." "Ok see you later Ezek....I mean True Shooter." "Bye." As I walked through Ponyville the ponies were looking at me but this time I didn't mind because I understood. They thought there were only two alicorns and out of nowhere there's another one. I made it to Rarity's shop and knocked on the door. Rarity opened the door and her eyes lit up. "Hello I'm Rarity and this is the Carousel boutique. How may I help you?" "Do you sell shampoo here? I want the finest shampoo in Ponyville." "I'm sorry fine sir but this is the a dress shop." "I see. I was hoping that the most cultured unicorn in Ponyville would have some shampoo for me. I've been wandering around Equestria for awhile and I thing I'm beginning to....well to put it boldly stink." "I could give you my own shampoo. What do you think?" "I just couldn't take your personal shampoo! Just point me in the direction of the Ponyville store and I'll be on my way." "Well it just over there but might I ask? How did you know about me getting shipments of shampoo from Canterlot? "Your friend Twilight told me and I was hoping you could give me some but I have no money." "I see hmm.....well I could give you bottle for free." "Thank you miss Rarity, next time I come here I will have money." "Oh Its no trouble. I hope to see you soon!" "You just might miss Rarity." She levitated a bottle over to me and I grabbed it with my teeth (Because I didn't have any saddle bags) and left towards Fluttershy's. I'll be clean to night and Fluttershy might appreciate it. -------------- I had just entered Fluttershy's house when the spell wore off. I was so happy I wasn't an alicorn anymore and that I was walking on two legs again. Fluttershy was making food while I was taking a bath(because I was too tall to take a shower). I told her to make a lot because I was HUNGRY. I got done with the my bath 25 minutes later and went down stairs. "Oh man I feel so much better!" "Was your bath relaxing?" "Yes it was thank you honey." I looked at the table and it was covered with food! "Whoa that's a lot of food." "Well you did say to make a lot." "That I did." I chuckled. "Well lets dig in shall we?" "Let's." She chuckled as well Dinner was wonderful. There were dandelion sandwiches, home-made hay-fries, a wonderfully made dinner salad with various citrus fruit and topped with a cherry (I had to basically fight angel for) and for dessert she made apple and cherry pie and a cake. Almost all of it was gone. "That was amazing Fluttershy!" "Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it." "I didn't just like it! I loved it!" She blushed. "I think we should just chill here for awhile what do you think?" She nuzzled me. "That sounds nice." We went into the living room, sat down and talked a little bit before the food coma kicked in and I fell asleep. I woke up 20 minutes later and Fluttershy was taking care of her animals. "Hey." "Oh hello sleepy head." She smiled. "Oh man. Its still day out." "Is that a problem?" "Well I was kinda hoping it was darker so I could go back to sleep." "I see. We could go out later?" "Nopony else knows I'm alive remember I cant just go out." "Oh thats right." She paused in thought. "You could use that transformation spell." "I cant use magic." "Little yellow one cant but Shadow can." I heard a familiar voice as a shadowy mass appeared next to me. "Shadow learned from Twilight." "Shadow! Whats going on? where are you living? "Shadow lives in master's cave now. Shadow likes it." "That's good I'm glad." "Shadow was concerned for master. I thought we were gone for good." "So did I Shadow. Its nice to see you again." "Its nice to see master again to. Shadow has been looking after Fluttershy like master said." "Thank you shadow." "Its no problem master." "Well lets see how well you can use that spell." "Shadow will do better. Shadow can make it so you can turn into pony anytime you want." I thought for awhile. "No thanks, I don't plan on needing to be transformed for much longer." "I see. Ok master here I will start spell now." "Alright Shadow." there was a flash of light and a second later I was an alicorn again. Why cant I have been a unicorn or at least a pegasus? ------------------ We decided to go out to eat at one of Ponyville's finest restaurants. All of the ponies stopped and bowed like I was royalty, I didn't like it. Not. At. All. We arrived at the restaurants and were seated. I was slightly surprised, it was like the fancy restaurants on earth. You know high price and small portions? Luckily they thought I was royalty and the gave us the finest food the had for free. I still didn't like being an alicorn, it just didn't feel right. "Are you having a good time fluttershy?" "Oh yes I've never had food like this before." "I like your food better." "Oh your just saying that." "No I mean it. It may not be fancy but it sure is good." "Why thank you." She smiled. "No problem." The waiter walked up to our table. "How do you like zah food?" "Its perfect how much do I owe the restaurant?" I asked. "Oh no sir, we couldn't ask you for money." "Alright if your sure?" "Yes sir we are." "Would it be to much trouble to get another drink?" "Not at all sir. We will have another drink ready for post-haste." "Ok thank you." "And for the lady?" "I'm fine thanks." Fluttershy replied. "Ok I will be back momentarily." "Are you sure you don't want another drink?" "Yes I'm fine." She smiled. "Alright." the waiter came back. "Here you go sir." "Why thank you." "Iz no trouble, enjoy." And he left again. "Nice sweet cider. Applejack's is probably better though." I took a sip. "What do you think Fluttershy?" "Um...well they're both...nice." "Well I never had Applejack's cider so I was asking for your opinion. And be honest." "Um...well honestly....there both fine." "Alright if you say so." After three more plates of food and five more cups of apple cider we were done. I left one hundred bits on the table for the waiter and left. When we got outside it was still light out. I sighed. "Well suns still out what do you want to do know?" "We could um....go to the park?" "That's not a bad idea. Sure lets go." We started in the direction of the park and I couldn't help but think that a certain sun controlling princess was screwing with the sun. But if it meant spending more time with Fluttershy its alright with me. It was a nice day regardless of the fact it should probably be night time by now. We sat down under a tree and just relaxed in the shade. The ponies looked on curiously because they didn't understand how Fluttershy could have an alicorn for a coltfriend they will soon find out that I am not really a pony.
