Its been a week since the "town center incident" as Twilight put it. Vinyl's reputation is back where it once was, now that they all know I'm the real thing and not some copy. Some of the ponies did however ask me how I'm alive when they saw me buried, I told them what I told all the other ponies. I went to Fluttershy's or I guess I could call it home or my house (since I primarily live there now) and she heard about the "town center incident" as well. she said she was disappointed in me but she was glad I didn't actually hurt anypony. She made some food and I propped my bass up against the wall. When she was done making the food we sat down at the table and talked like a couple normally would.
"So Fluttershy how was your day?"
"I was...nice."
"Nice? What happened?"
"Angel bunny is acting up again."
"I see what did he do?"
"Hes refusing to eat. He says that what I make isn't good enough for him."
"I see. Hmm.....I want to talk to him, where is he?"
"Hes playing outside with his friends."
"I'll wait then. I don't feel like looking for him."
"How was your day?"
"Uninteresting."
"Oh I see. What jobs did you do today?"
"I helped Applejack buck some trees, I helped Twilight with her research on my ammo and I baked at Sugar-Cube Corner."
"Sounds like you had a busy day."
"Yep I got my sling back from Pinkie Pie though and I also have a decent amount of money now."
"That's nice!" She looked at my bass. "Um...if you don't mind me asking....would you mind playing for me?"
"Hmm.....I guess I haven't played in awhile huh?"
"Um...no you haven't."
"Ok sure!" I grabbed my bass and sat down. "What do you want to hear?"
"Hmm.....how about that one song you always play?"
"Alright one amazing song coming up." She chuckled. I played Fluttershy's favorite which was one of my original songs and she loved it. I also played a few other songs before I stopped. When I finished Fluttershy gently stomped on the floor and softly cheered.
"You should play with Vinyl and Octavia!"
"We talked about it a little bit."
"And?"
"Its more of a maybe but nothing is going to happen any time soon."
"Oh....why not?"
"Well Octavia has a few concerts in Canterlot and Vinyl has a small DJ-ing tour."
"That's to bad."
"Its fine. I can focus on working and getting money." I laughed.
She chuckled. "I see."
"Yep. Well Fluttershy I'm tired and going to bed. Care to join me?"
"Yes after I clean up the table."
"Nope. you go, I'll clean. I'll be up there when I'm done."
"Its no trouble I can do it."
"I know you can but its the least I can do. You have been doing it every night so I'm going to do it"
"Ok then."
"Yeah see you in a little bit."
I cleaned the table and even did the dishes before I went to join Fluttershy. As soon as I hit the pillow I fell asleep. Has this pillow always been this soft?
------------
Fluttershy accidentally woke me up when she woke up. Which was fine because I needed to head over to Sweet Apple Acres to help Applejack and Big Mac with some hay. I went down stairs and Fluttershy was making food. She made me a peanut butter and banana sandwich, I didn't know this place had peanut butter. I thanked here and left, if I get hungry I'll just grab an apple or something when I'm at the farm.
I arrived at Sweet Apple Acres and immediately got to work. We worked until and were beat, we were also hungry. We went into the house and had lunch and also had a little conversation.
"Hoowee! that was mighty fine work there fellas." Said Applejack.
"Eeyup." Said Big Mac.
"Sheesh I haven't worked that hard in awhile." I said.
"Well we sure do appreciate your help Ezekiel."
"No problem Applejack. I'm happy to help."
"So what are y'all going to do now that yer done helping?"
"No idea. I might go to the park or get my vest back from Rainbow dash but I don't where she lives."
"I can take you to her house but shes probably working but at least y'all will know where her house is."
"Sounds good thanks."
"No problem."
We left and walked to the outskirts of town.
"Welp that's her house up there." She pointed up and called for Rainbow Dash. there was no answer so she called again. Rainbow popped her head out and saw us and then flew down.
"Oh hey guys whats up?"
"Hey Rainbow I was wondering if I could have my vest back?"
"Your vest?"
"Yeah the one that holds all the ammo for my weapons."
"Oh that one, hold on." After a few minutes she came back with the vest. "Here you go. I hope you don't mind but I wore it a few times."
"No I don't mind at all. Thanks."
"No problem."
She flew back up to her house and probably went back to sleep or back to whatever she was doing before we showed up and we left. Applejack went back home and I went to the park to relax some before going to Rarity's shop to see if she could use any help. A familiar little filly came up to me while I was walking to my favorite bench.
"Hi mister!"
"Hey kid, you know its ok to call me by my name."
"I know but I want to call you mister."
"Ok kid. Hey wheres your mother?"
"Shes still working but my babysitter is here, see!" She pointed behind her at her babysitter who waved.
I chuckled and waved back. "Yeah Dinky I see."
"So what are you doing mister?"
"Nothing just just going to sit under that tree like I always do."
"Aw that's no fun. Hey I have an idea! Why don't you come play with me?"
"No sorry kid I had a long day and its still not over for me yet."
"Aw you're no fun."
"Sometimes kid. Only sometimes."
We talked for a little bit longer, she went back to her babysitter and I went to the bench under the tree and ended up falling asleep. I woke up an hour later and headed over to Rarity's. I'm wonder what I could help her with?
