Something Else to Worry About... Later
Spike and I made our way through Ponyville and towards the tree castle at the edge of town. The whole time though I had my chest puffed out in pride as everypony wanted to say something about my suit.
For me it was great. For Spike who was trying to get us back so we could get a bite to eat from Chef, not so much, ‘Not my fault all the mares like a sh-’
My thoughts were interrupted as a sudden chill went down my back. Sleek was nearby.
I twisted and turned my head looking for the unicorn, but even as the feeling got worse I couldn’t see any sight of her. Spike had stopped as I started moving on his head to look around.
As my eyes scanned the crowd the chill increased in intensity. She was getting closer, but still no sign.
“What’s wrong Scruffy?” Spike asked.
His question went unanswered as I caught sight of a particular pony and my fur stood on end. It was a stallion with beige colored fur, a sunny yellow mane, and an expensive looking outfit. He was sitting at a table, talking to Rarity.
Spike seemed to follow the direction my body was facing as he turned to look at what I was seeing, “Oh, that must be the new stallion of the week.” judging from the head motion, Spike rolled his eyes, “They never turn out any good. Rarity pours out her heart and soul to them and they leave her a few dates later.”
‘So she does the same thing over and over again and expects different results?’ I thought as Spike stared at the two from the side of the road, ‘That's the definition of insanity... How do I know that?’
After shaking my head to toss the question into the ‘Don’t Care’ box of thoughts, my dragon owner sighed, “You know, the first time she had a date like that I ended up making a fool out of myself. Pointed out his awful personality and tried to convince Rarity she could do better.”
The purple dragon chuckled a bit before turning back on to our course, “After the resulting punishment, which I got even when he did exactly what I said he would, I realized Rarity would have to find out on her own.”
As we moved passed a couple more ponies on our way to the castle, a thought struck me, ‘Wow, he's actually being mature abou-’
“Twilight also said if she got another complaint about harassment from one of Rarity’s special somponies that she would burn my comic collection.”
‘That explains it.’
Just as the castle came into view, I remembered the reason I had stared at the couple to begin with. Though Spike’s story had suppressed the chill I scolded myself for... Actually I couldn’t really do anything if I wanted to.
Attacking would have gotten me in trouble. Hissing would have only raised questions that I couldn’t answer. Spying on him could work, but I would just be confirming my feeling and I’d be back at square one.
With a sigh at my inability to do anything, the doors to the tree castle were opened by Spike and we walked in just as Twilight blinked into existence, “Oh, afternoon Spike.”
“Hey Twilight. How was the meeting?” Spike asked making Twilight deflate a bit.
“Don’t talk about it.” she groaned as she caught sight of me, “Oh my gosh! That is so cute!” just like my ego, Twilight raised me up and off of Spike’s head, “You look like a little Con Mane.” to top it off I let out a little meow.
‘I’m going to assume that's some kind of spy or famous actor.’ I thought to myself as Twilight ‘daww’ed at me.
“Yeah, Rarity spent hours creating outfits for Scruffy. When she was done she gave them to Scruffy.” Spike said as Twilight started to giggle.
“That sounds like Rarity. Can I see him in a few of them?” Twilight asked as she sat me down on her back.
“Actually, I got to go meet up with the others at Sugarcube Corner so here.” Spike lifted up the bag to Twilight and she took it with her magic, “All his outfits are in there. Wish I could stay to see them again, but I’ve got ghosts to hunt.”
“Oh, alright Spike.” Twilights said a little saddened as he walked back into town, “Try and help AJ and Rarity look after the crusaders and never leave their sight.” she called after him.
She let out a sigh as we turned back into the tree castle thing. Something that I never noticed till that moment was just how soft the spot was between a pony’s wings. If Twilight had not started talking while we moved, it would have been night night kitty.
‘Gotta stay awake, gotta help Spike.’
“Let’s see what kind of outfits you’ve got.” she said with a giggle as I started to plan my escape route, “Is this a dress?” and my plan went out the window as she lifted me up with her magic.
“I can’t believe Spike let her put this on you.” Twilight levitated up a pink dress with a bunch of white frilly stuff on the seams.
‘I was lost in the rush, you can't judge me.’ I thought as she began to move through the castle.
“I’ll separate these and then we can dress you up in a few of them before I have to talk to Sleek about my schedule for the coming few days.” a chill went through me as she said the evil one’s name, “If everything goes well you might be seeing me a bit more after tomorrow.”
‘I think I'd like that...’ I thought as I started to really get comfortable between her wings.
We continued through the castle in comfortable silence. Despite my best efforts I was being lulled to sleep by the soft rocking motions as Twilight continued onwards. Soon my eyes became heavy and I slipped into sleeps comforting embrace...
‘Crap...’
I'm not cutting the Everfree castle scene, I'm making that clear now.

Well it looks like more ponies now know that Scruffy's a crossdresser.
comment.
5711039 yep ... and that's why you should listen when someone tells you such
5711023
don't worry like children scruffy is sure to find 'unique ' places to dispose of such things
So Sleek and the Stallion of the Week both set off Scruffy's Kitty Sense? I'm guessing that they are both changelings.
As a matter of fact, I'm going to state my theory that every single stallion that Rarity has dated has been the very same changeling who has gotten wooing and then heartbreaking Rarity down to a science.
5710723 meh, they still look same so it wouldn't really matter, the only difference really is boob storage space if I remember right
I feel it needs more action. Just an opinion.
I got it first assholes
5711524 You may have got it first, but you won't be the last. Either way, I think that cat was Vaas in some point of time... scary.
5711811 ... that was what I was hoping was implied but just imagine a kitten Vaas as the main villain the far cry 3
What a pussy...cat
Hehe... he... Why is no one laughing? Oh...
5711290 That would be hilarious but what would be the point of a changeling doing that?
5711998 So adorable
And yet, so god damned scary...
5712291
The point would be that the Changeling is feeding. She 'pours her heart and soul' into each new stallion. I imagine that sort of focused effort can't be maintained for months at a time. By coming back as a different stallion, he gets more total hours of high-intensity love coming his way. It's an efficient, if terrible, way to exploit her.
I wonder who he is really? Not being sarcastic btw. Hope to see more soon.
Would have
Well Rarity, you will learn one day. Soon. Hopefully.
Huh, for someone who "apparently" has memory issues, he seems to remember an awful lot of pop culture references, video game references, and other such meaningless things. He also seems to only remember such references from our world.
This is why the amnesia gimmick is so bad. It pretty much never works the way something like amnesia actually works, and it is almost always used as a plot device to basically let the character know whatever the plot needs him to know with zero explanation given. It's just, right now I can't care about this guy. He has no personality to speak of that we've seen so far. All he does is eat, sleep, and spew out references (which, for some reason, he has no trouble remembering). There is so much you could do with someone who has traveled the multiverse. Why do you only use such mundane, uninteresting things like references no one cares about? You've taken a character with such an interesting backstory (someone who is pretty much a Planeswalker like those from Magic: the Gathering), and seemingly removed anything interesting from him.
Edit:
Also, this sleep thing is starting to become annoying. Since we see in the next part it causes him to miss something important, I've noticed a pretty disturbing pattern in this story. Anytime something important is about to happen that you don't want him knowing about too soon which he will learn about because they would be talking while he was there, you just basically toss in a "and then he fell asleep incredibly conveniently and didn't wake up until the important stuff was done with" and leave it at that. It just feels pretty forced. Have you considered trying something else to avoid issues like that?
Well, is Sleek a changeling?
Alright, that's it. I've officially liked this story now.
5732788 That actually is pretty close to how Amnesia works. Amnesia isn't the LOSS of memories, it's the inability to consciously access your memories; but those memories can still be accessed subconsciously (like random thoughts inadvertantly becoming pop-culture references). Thats why amnesiacs can still speak languages even if they've forgotten about learning said languages in the first place.
And he's a kitten. Cats sleep a LOT, and he's a BABY cat, so doubly so for the main character.
*checks to see this is still marked "Adventure" and not "Slice of Life"* Yup, still there...
This is good Slice of Life, so I'm not complaining, but as far as I can see right now, you may have mis-tagged it.
5744864 Sounds like a solid theory to me.
I'm thinking that Sleek is a changeling. Maybe the problem would be that everyone slowly starts feeling creepy? Then Scruffy has to figure out what's going on through skill, smarts, stealth, and most of all, adorableness. And then after Fluttershy gets replaced, Angel asks Scruffy for help and then he gets Gummy, or Winona, or Tank, or Owlowlcious or how however you spell his name. Then they create The Adorable Seven
Out of all of this, coming up with the team name took the most time. This started out as me just saying I think they're changelings and that I'm calling that phone. And then the rest of it happened. Somehow.
