Crim had her head buried in her hooves, having no idea what she needs to do. Groaning, she looked to the ceiling and yelled,
"Why is life so complicated!?"
All of a sudden, a box appeared in front of her.
"What the buck!?"
"Crim! Watch your language!"
Cringing slightly at her sister's outburst, Crim read the box.
How old are you?
Crim gave the text box an uneasy look, but answered nonetheless.
"I'm ten, but what's it to you?"
Another text box appeared, and Crim groaned.
Art thou okay?
"Umm, not really."
How are you liking Ponyville?
Crim cocked her head and replied,
"I just got here today, but it does seem nice."
Does thou need help?
"I don't really think you used that right, but few speak like that much anymore besides a few. But if your talking about Button, then maybe..."
By the time Crim finishes answering the question, she blushing furiously. But she's saved from answering any more questions by her sister.
"Crim, lunch is ready, hurry up!"
Smiling with relief, Crim rushes down the steps and into the kitchen. After she jumps into a chair, her sister asks,
"So, what'd you do in town today?"
"I played an arcade machine with this colt. Oh! And I found a bit."
Crim's sister chuckled as she set a sandwich in front of her, and then herself. Prodding it with a hoof, Crim asked,
"What kind of sandwich?"
"Peanut butter and jelly."
Crim keeps prodding it, and her sister groans.
"It's strawberry jelly and smooth peanut butter."
Smiling, Crim starts to eat. But only a few minutes in, another text box appears.
Crim this is your subconscious speaking.....do you liek Mudkips?
Arsonya's eyes widened as Crim asked,
"Whats a mudkip?"
With what could only be described as a growl, she punched it put of existence and said,
"If it's what I think it means, then it's not appropriate."
They continued eating until Arsonya said,
"Wait, what WAS that?"
Crim shrugged and said,
"I dunno, but until you saw it I thought I was going crazy."
"Should we take care of it?" Crim waved a dismissive hoof.
"Nah. Besides, I don't think there's much we COULD do."
For awhile the two ate in silence, until Arosnya interrupted it.
"So, you said you met a colt?"
Crim took a sip of her juice and nodded. Aronsya smirked and asked,
"You like him, don't you?"
Crim blushed heavily and told her,
"Yes. no. Maybe. Sh-shove off..."
Arsonya laughed and a text box appeared.
So Crim, with my small amount of experience in the matter, are you sure you feel love? Or do you have a crush? You barely know dear Button Masher and you already think you're in love. Oh, and before you ask how we know, we're omniscient, so we can read your thoughts. Well, some of them. BUT NOT IN THE CREEPY WAY!
Arsonya grinned.
"You DO like him! And from the looks of it, his name's Button. Care to tell me about him?"
Blushing even more, she said,
"H-he's nice... And likes video games... And he has this cool hat."
Arsonya laughed.
"You SO have a thing for him, huh? When'll you see him next?"
"After school tomorrow at the same arcade machine."
Crim was bouncing excitedly in her seat. After she finished her sandwich, she ran to the fridge, grabbed a juice box and ran to her room. As she was ready to stick the straw in the juice box, she saw a label.
Are you a winner?
Excitedly, she tore off the label.
Sorry, better luck next time!
Angrily, she opened a window and threw it out. She slammed it shut and turned around...
Just to walk into a text box.
hay Crim? do you know any other bat ponies, aka Thestrals, and if so do you think of becoming a night guard? good pay, good food and the chance to scare the living daylights out of the pigeons known as the day guards. I swear we are the only competent soldiers in the castle...
A night guard? Hmm... I'm not sure, never really crossed my mind, considering I have no idea what my talent is... That text box was soon replaced with another. And I don't know any others, besides my dad who... Is gone...
To Crim: Wow, there seems to be a lot of bat-pony racism in Equestria. Just because they look a little different doesn't mean bat-ponies are bad. So where do your kind normally roam to get away from most of that?
Also are your kind normally nocturnal, or do you like daytime just as much?
"It really is ridiculous. I mean, your right! We don't do anything bad. As to where we go, Princess Luna had a refugee town near the capitol before some jerks came tearing through a few years back... Now, she's trying to reintegrate us back into society, although most travel a lot like me to try and escape it. And my sister was even dragged into this! I mean, she looks like me, but she's pegasus! Why do they drive her out!? Sometimes, I'm not sure why she bothers with me... As for the nocturnal thing, I guess it depends on your job."
Crimson, how did you get your name?
She blinked as it appeared.
"Umm, Well my eyes and mane ARE Crimson colored, so... Plus I think there was a blood moon thing going on the night I was born, so..."
Crim went to her bookshelf and looked through its contents, groaning when she came up short. Going to her saddle bags, she looked through them to make sure everything was ready for school. Smiling, she pulled out a rule book. She skipped through it before coming to an excerpt for the dress code. Her pupils shrank when she saw some of the things listed.
No Sunglasses
No Cloaks or Jackets
She started to nervously pace the room, her mind going into overdrive as it came up with every possible scenario. She was so wrapped up in thought that she ended up running into a text box. Rubbing her muzzle, she read it.
Do u like waffles'
"Who doesn't?"
Crim was happy for the distraction, as most worry slipped away.
So, Crim, my daughter Nightshade is going to be going to the same school as you, could you take care of her for me? I know I can trust you to be a good friend. From-Shatterwing.
Cocking her head, she said,
"Ok, sure. I'll keep an eye out for her."
Do u know slender?
"Who?" Crim shook her head. People were coming up with some pretty weird stuff.
Dear Crim
do you know that one chaos is a part of everything and two *whispers* I'm inside your head *stops whispering*
~sincerely Sheogorath Daedric prince of madness and chaos~
P.S. when is a raven a writing desk
Well, a little bit of chaos is enjoyable. And two, I'm not too sure about that. And third, both bring madness.
So...Crim...
I hear rumor that Button likes you...
I also may have heard that a certain filly (cough) Sweety Belle (cough) is getting a little jealous that you got his attention when she didn't.
So, would you be, uh, worried? - about competition -
I also may have heard, that a certain dragon (cough) Spike (cough) possibly likes you too...
What about him? You might be, uh, interested?
C-competition!? No, I-I can't compete, I h-hate pressure... Oh Celestia I'm screwed, I'm SO screwed... I'm a batpony! Who in there right, sane mind dates a batpony!? Besides my parents of course, but they always challenged status quo! ALWAYS! I hate attention... And Dragons are here? Cool!"
To Crimson Fang: Studies show that having "voices" in your head may be a symptom of schizophrenia, and judging from what these voices are saying I wouldn't rule that out as an option. Also, schizophrenia causes delusions, which may be the stallion with the game box. And it may effect your mood and overall ability to live. Just saying, don't trust that what your seeing is real. And you should probably seek some psychological help as well. I know I am just a voice in your head, but I am the only one making any damn sense in here.
"N-no, because A-Arsy sees them too..."
Crim then fainted from stress.
Crim a Mudkips is a pokemon. Basically it's an amphibian that shoots high pressure water, and mud.
Do you liek Mudkips?
Dear Miss crim, if any of these boxes start stressing you out, ignore them. The ones who send those messages like to store things up. Also, I for one think bat ponies are adorable.
Oh dear crim you are adorable and sweet and kind what colt in their sane mind wouldn't want to date you, also you don't have schizophrenia we are just all powerful beings that feel like having a bit of fun messing with you and also helping you at the same time see nothing to worry about we're nice, sincerely Raiden
What game were the you and Button playing?
Why did you move to Ponyville?
Can you say hi to Spike for me?
What are your thoughts on beetle?
Thou should drink some, OJ? Is it what ponies call orange juice now a days?
What would you do if Button already like someone else?
And uhhhhh HERE have a poem!
Come to me, little pony
I can bring you to heaven's portal
There'll be no sorrow, there'll be no pain
Feelings of joy will fill your brain.
Come to me, my little pony
Give me your heart and I'll make it sing
Forget your fears, leave them behind
Forget the troubles of your kind.
Come to me... yes, that's right
Now hold still, it's no good to fight
I'll take your blood, and leave you dying
Didn't you realise I could be lying?
Competition isn't that hard Crimson dear, just do what you think you have to and you will prevail to get what you want... These notes you read are from people from another dimension called "humans" show them to Lyra Heartstrings, she'll confirm it for you! -Shatterwing.
To Crim: Try to realize that you aren't the only one to deal with these boxes. There are many ponies across the pony multi-verse that receive messages from us. Most of them are in dire need of our advice, so that's when we show up. Whether they are having love troubles or are just downright miserable, we show up to try and help. You fit into the former of those categories, so here we are.
TLDR: Your not the only one to have these things.
To Crim: Be careful when you head into school Crim. There's a certain pink filly and her little grey minion that don't take too kindly to blank flanks. And knowing other ponies opinions on your kind, that probably won't help. Just don't let them get to you.
Dear Crim,
What's your favorite fairy tale? Something creepy? Something sweet?
Sees them... to... Oh, this may be more serious than I thought. Either your trans-dimensional mindscape is bleeding into another, in which you may or may not be prepared for what you may see in the alternate "dimension". Or, on the off-chance the trans-dimensional mindscape theory is fluke, you may be experiencing a "lucid dream" so to speak. But cases like this are extremely uncommon, like for instance having a shared delusion whilst fully awake. Ah, never mind me, being oh so crazy trying to figure out what's wrong with you. I guess I couldn't rule out technological witchcraft or a accidental botched spell that just so happened to affect you. Or maybe it affected all bat-ponies within a certain "rebound perimeter". Anyhoo, you still need help. Your sis too.
Oh, hiya!
I've never actually...Talked...to a bat-pony,so.....Er....
What's your....favorite...juice flavor?
I am so so sorry... I truly am. BUUUUUT...
Do you remember that dragon (cough) Spike (cough) I mentioned to you...the one that likes you...
Well, a certain mare (cough) Rarity (cough) has noticed, that he has noticed you.
And, she is not happy, at all, that she has to compete for his heart.
I may have heard her say something along the lines of "Finding out what skank stole the heart of the dragon she loves... And killing that said skank."
Just a warning... This mare is a drama queen and could just possibly be over reacting...
P.S. Is that Spike waiting to give you a rose I see behind you?
Dear Crim: Do you like waffles?
Crim! ...Are you French?
Dear Crim who is your best friend?
MY QUESTION IS IN HERE. *squee*
Hi, Crimson Fang! My names, um, Evia, and I was wondering if we could meet up sometime. It seems you're having tons of fun with other questions, but if you want, maybe we could meet up at my icecream shop, Icecream Dreams? I think it would be nice to get to know you a bit~
I mean, if you're interested you may call me at 688-277-1967 or go to 1001 EqG Drive, and since I'm a bit younger than Pinkie, I'm pretty sure we can still be friends.
Or, just ask my cousin Derpy, a grey pegasus with yellow derpy eyes-like me! Well not the yellow part or the pegasus part-I have orange eyes and I'm a unicorn...
So, um, h-have a nice day!
To Crimson Fang: yeah... Sweetie is out to get you, Button IS her best friend and all. As for Spike, mabye you should consider him... It is only 2 days until Ponyville celebrates Hearts and Hooves Day. Make your decision, but I suggest playing it safe, and not go for Button just yet... Just a little shipping update. But the question here is: how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
to Crim
not sure if you know this but beware of the Everfree forest for there are dangerous monsters in there is only one pony or zebra who is able to live in the everfree so if you do end up in there search for a hut that looks like the stump of a giant tree and if no one is there wait cause the zebra will come soon
If you see a pink pony who defuse the laws of...well everyone RUN.
*Splashes ice water on Crim,* WAKE UP! okay, you need to become friends with Sweetie Belle! No big deal. She is a really good friend and would understand. Just become her friend.
Hey! My name is Shadow and I'm your new friend...that is, if you would like...
I have the same problem as you- er...I guess it's more of Sweetie Belle. You see, I just came to this new school (In the middle of the year) and met this...stallion. I really liked him, but we were just best friends but I felt he may have started to like me....that is until he met my sister. She liked him too... I didn't want to hurt either of them, didn't want to make them feel obligated. So I helped them...helped them get to know one another. She doesn't love him like I do though. And I have to say, I only got them together because I felt like, well, if I didn't do it while I was still willing to, I would change my mind. I needed them close enough for me not to brake them. I needed to know I couldn't have him. don't make the make mistake.
~Shadow, your friend.
p.s. I know what it is like not to fit in. I'm a changeling.
Hello, no no, don't be shy. You can call me the Professor. I couldn't help but notice your problem with dress code. Well Crimsy, just put on a shirt! That'll cover your wings and it's not a jacket or anything. As for your eyes...don't worry, red eyes are cool, I mean look at rainbow dash and vinyl! Those are two cool ponies!
-Professor...
Oi! Leave the lass alone Draco Fire! Don't listen to'm Crimy. Oh! One more thing, if you get bullied at school, don't be shy, just...ahem...show off your fangs
