//------------------------------// // Jamie's life sucks // Story: Mischief in Equestria // by general cat4 //------------------------------// Mischief was staring dumbfounded at the 2 ponies laying on the ground beside him. The stone pillar had disappeared. Kiana was curled in a ball sleeping. Cole was mumbling something about cupcakes and knives, also asleep. Sweetie Belle was still passed out over on the edge of town. Mischief picked her up and placed her beside Kiana, hopefully as far away from Cole as possible. He didn't notice the six ponies running up the mountain discovering him deep in thought. "Mischief, what happened, what's going on?" Twilight was asking worried. "Sweetie Belle!" Rarity exclaimed, picking her up. "Twilight, Rarity. You guys. How did you find us?" Mischief was pale and a bit dazed. "There was a lightning storm forming over here recently. Rarity said this is where Sweetie Belle was exploring so we came to investigate." Twilight said. "Uhh, thanks guys. Can you help me carry these two, I can't do it alone." "I know a transportation spell," Twilight offered. "We better hurry. Those three don't look well, but who are those two?" "These are Cole and Kiana..." An hour later in Twilight's tree home. Mischief and the Elements, aside from Rarity who was crying in Twilight's room, with Sweetie Belle, and Applejack who was comforting her, were watching Kiana and Cole, in hopes they awake. "So, how can we trust these two for sure, huh?" The cyan pegasus was questioning Mischief giving him a cold glare. "I know them. these are the two I was talking about when I first got here." Mischief replied, his eyes switching between Kiana and Cole, worried. "Are...are they going to be okay..." Fluttershy was asking. "I hope they're not in any pain." "They look peaceful enough, Fluttershy" Twilight said reassuringly. "And they came out of your portal," said Rainbow Dash. "The one that disappeared." "I told you, It swallowed itself up!" Mischief was getting irritated with her. "If you want to go screw with Mother Nature then be my guest." "Who?" "Never mind." "Hey, look! The purple mare is stirring!" The purple mare interrupted, hoping to prevent a fight. (see what I did there) "Uhh, what is happening to me?" Kiana said with a quizzical look on her face as she stared at the ponies staring back at her, and the stallion sleeping next to her on the couch. "Please tell me I got drunk and this is the guy I had sex with. And now i'm dreaming that horses are staring at me." Mischief burst into laughter. "Kiana, two things. Do you know who I am?" Mischief said between laughs. "No...I don't know any talking horses." "Ponies." Kiana looked closely at the stallion before her. She knew this voice. "Wait.....Jamie?" "Uhh, no...my name is Mischief Max." Mischief replied as he saw Twilight, Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy staring at him. "Your boyfriend, remember?" Mischief gave a wink. "......Uhh, yeah.... I remember now..." Kiana said. An awkward silence started to pass so Jamie decided to lighten the mood. "Oh yeah, the guy you "slept" with, that's Cole." Mischief said. "Wait, so if that's, and i got, then that means, AAHHH!! OH MY GOD!!!" Kiana screamed loudly at she fell off the couch. Cole continued to sleep soundly. It took Mischief and the other four ponies over 15 minutes to convince Kiana that she did not sleep with Cole. During this period, Mischief took her aside and whispered, "It's alright Kiana. It's me Jamie, but i'm using an alias. We'll talk about this later, and we have to figure out how we got here." This was alot for Kiana to take in at one time, but she gave a nod. "So, this is Kiana, Mischief? Your girlfriend?" Rainbow Dash asked, eyeing her. "Yeah. Kiana, can you remember how you got here?" ".......nope." "Great...can somepony let her stay with them?" "I'm sorry Mischief, but the library isn't suitable for more ponies." Twilight said. Mischief thought he heard impatience. "I...I can....I mean...if you would like to...." Fluttershy said. "There's an extra room in my cottage...but if-" "Really? I can stay with you? thank you!" Kiana said as she hugged Fluttershy, who gave out a noise that was half a whisper, half a squeal. "Okay that has Kiana set up, now what about-" Mischief started to say before he was interrupted by a loud yelling noise. Half monster, half pony "RAAHH!!!" Cole had woken up and had ran outside Twilight's home breaking a hole in the wall. "Is Cole-" Kiana started. "He ran out of pills..." Mischief replied. "Shit" they said in unison. They ran out to get Cole, the 4 other mares a bit behind them. Cole was staring at the sky from the middle of an empty, but common town intersection. Mischief stared at him hard. He knew that something was fighting his inner insanity. "The happiness.....the color" Mischief muttered. "come on Cole, be happy....." Cole was now frowning at the sky, and his teeth were starting to grind. "Shit! It's not working, EVERYPONY RUU-" "Hi! i'm Pinkie Pie! Your Cole right, That means your new! We have to-" "Pinkie, What are you dong?!?! He's unstable. You can't just-" "Your mane is so pretty, how do you get it like that?!?!" Cole exclaimed. Cole had that stupid grin he had when he saw a haircut he liked, Mischief thought. His eyes were their normal color of jet black. He was back to normal, but was he the stupid Cole, or the smart Cole.... "I'm Pinkie Pie!" "I'm Cole! your mane is pretty." "Thank you!" As Cole and Pinkie were talking, Mischief and Kiana were talking while Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash were watching Pinkie and Cole. "I don't know Kiana...What if his madness breaks out again?There are no narcotics here." "He'll be fine. Look at him, Jamie," Kiana said as she nuzzled his neck, "I haven't seen him this happy since you said he was your best friend." She was watching Pinkie teach Cole how to bounce up and down while walking. "You mean when I lied about Cole being my best friend." Jamie said to her. "You know you need him." She said. "For what? Pain? Sadness? Misery?" "You know he makes your life happier." "Whatever." "Hi Kiana!" Cole was somehow above and upside down Jamie and Kiana. "Cole, how are you doing that?" Kiana asked, looking around. "I can't tell you, it's a secret! haha." "that's great Cole, but you need a place to stay. We have to figure out how to get back home." Jamie said. "He can stay with me!" Pinkie said. "Hurray!" Cole said. "Kiana," Jamie whispered, "Are you afraid yet?" "Maybe a little." Kiana admitted. she then saw Cole staring hard at Mischief. "Wait a minute....Jam-" Cole started before Kiana's subtle kick to Cole's manhood shut him up. "Mother fu..." "Hey Cole, it's me Mischief." If Cole figured this out, he was the smart Cole. Jamie thought. If not, he feared for his sanity. "Oh, hey Mischief. Long time no see." Cole said. His eyes sharp with suspicion. Praise Allah. Mischief said in his head. It's the smart Cole. If the screwed up Cole was gone, then at any point Cole would be kind and smart, or vicious and evil. Genius and Madness are two sides of the same coin.
