Kichi's comment
You decide to talk with these "Cutie Mark Crusaders" some more. After all, you're now a hero to them and they still give a little of love. It's not as much as it was a few moments ago (you had to consume that love to heal your Chimera-broken ribs), but it's enough as friendly love. You're about to talk to the fillies when you suddenly notice that one of them is gone.
"Wait... Wasn't there three of yo-"
You're interrupted when you sense someling messing with your Saddlebags and you turn to see the yellow filly with the bow rummaging through your Saddlebags and taking out your Old Bottle of Wine.
"Hey, What's this stuff?" Ask Apple Bloom
"Hey! Keep your hooves to yourself!" you snap in alarm as you grab the bottle out of her hooves.
"Sorry Mistah 815, but I was thinking that maybe you had some sorta strange changeling item that could give us all cutie marks. What's in that bottle anyway?"
"It's uuuuhhh... Medicine, yeah, right... It's a little medicine" You decide to lie as you don't want to explain what is alcohol to the children. Changing the topic, you declare,
"Anyway- my new pony name will be Ritz DeWitt!"
"Ritz, DeWitt." the fillies all say, trying out the name.
"Hmmm... I guess it works." Applebloom replies.
"Yeah, now you can go into Ponyville with us!" Scootaloo adds and is about to head into town when...
SnapDrakeGames's comment
"Hold on a minute, let me get this straight," you say to the fillies with a deadpan expression, "Your plan is to walk a changeling into a town in a country where my entire species is on wanted posters, wake the entire population in the middle of the night, and then somehow convince all these grumpy pre-coffee-ed ponies that a creature that looks exactly like the ones who invaded two weeks ago A.) Isn't evil and B.) Shouldn't be killed on sight."
"Yep!" they all obliviously and cheerfully respond. You just give them a deadpan look and snark,
"And while we're at it, why don't we polish some torches, wrap some pitchforks in salt-covered barb wire, and, I don't know, maybe tie a lovely silk noose for- Wait!" you cry, interrupting your own sarcastic rambling when you remembering something the crusaders had said before. "When you said 'Twilight,' did you mean Twilight Sparkle; Unicorn, possible OCD, huge bookworm, Element of Magic, Leader of the Bearers of the Element of Harmony, Personal Student of Princess Celestia, L.S.B.F.F. (2) of Royal Guard Captain (and technical Prince) Shining Armor, AND who you said took on and beat my Queen single-hoofedly?!!!"
The foals nod, and your mind clouds with fear.
"Oh buck oh buck oh buck! This is so not horrorshow, this is so un-horrorshow it's a bucking G-rated sugary foal's comedy! Oh motherbuc-!"
"Calm down, Mistah changeling," Applebloom says. "Miss Twilight is always understanding and kind and caring and-"
"Calm down!?" you scream. "Kid, 'Miss Twilight' and her friends single-hoofedly took out a platoon of changelings during the Canterlot Invasion. A whole bucking platoon! Therefore, the plan is now: I hide out on a train and get the buck out of dodge before everyling brings Tartarus crashing down on me!"
"Uh- sir?" Sweetie Belle interrupts. "Why would you be getting out of Dodge? We're not in Dodge Junction."
You facehoof before muttering,
"Someling remind me how we got our flanks kicked by these creatures... Twice..."
Love the Changeling's comment
After rubbing off your face with the facehoof, you say,
"So my only options are staying in the Everfree, where everything and anything would try to maim, kill, or eat me, or stay in Ponyville, where the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony live?"
The Crusaders nod their heads.
"The same Bearers that are on high alert for changelings and would likely squash me on sight?"
They all look at each other, turn back to you and hesitantly nod.
All is silent for a few seconds, until Scootaloo asks, "Well, if being found is the problem, why don't you just disguise yourself?"
"The only issue with that is that I can't right now, it's on the fritz," You tell them, "Any other ideas?"
A few more seconds pass,
"Well, we could try hiding you in the Cutie Mark Crusader Clubhouse," Sweetie Belle pipes up, "It's not in Ponyville itself, nopony really bothers us out there, and you can eat the apples that grow on the tree."
Huh, it sounds like it would be the perfect place to stay, and it has free food!, You think to yourself, It's either there or in the dark, spooky forest where the chimera lives.
After mentally debating it to yourself, you figure that it's the best you're going to get, at least for now,
"Well then let-"
"Maybe we'll get our Cutie Marks" Apple Bloom gasps.
"Hay yeah! You know what this means?!" Scootaloo beams.
"Oh no..." You say as you start to get a sinking feeling in your gut.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS CHANGELING SMUGGLERS YAY!" They all shout in unison.
As you're trying to get over your temporary deafness you manage to offhoofedly comment,
"On second thought, I heard the Everfree is lovely this time of yea-"
But before you can make a run for it though, you find yourself being dragged along by three surprisingly strong fillies.
"So... Clubhouse it is I guess." you mutter.
Erised the ink-moth's comment
Now we find you walking with Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo as they lead you back to their clubhouse.
"So how are we supposed to reform a changeling anyway?" Sweetie asks.
"Well it can't be all that hard." Scootaloo says with a wave of her hoof "Rainbow Dash and her friends deal with friendship problems all the time, so we'll just treat this like one of those."
"I dunno, Scoots, most of the time stuff gets blown up before they solve anything." Applebloom reminds her "Remember that one time that traveling showmare showed up and started bragging about how great she was? It took an Ursa nearly flattening the town just for Twilight to get over being good at magic."
This town sounds like those cartoons where the characters get into misadventures that could have been avoided with the properly placed sentence or two. you mentally snark.
"Speaking of magic, why can't we just magic him nice?" Scootaloo suggests "It worked with Princess Luna when she was Nightmare Moon."
Your eyes widen as you think,
Wait a minute, are these fillies seriously suggestin-
"You mean like mind control?" Sweetie asks unsurely.
Cruel Chrysalis! These fillies ARE planning to mind rape me! RUN BITCH, RUUUUN! you mentally panic and are about to make a break for it when Apple Bloom says,
"That don't seem very ni-"
"Hay yeah! That would work for sure!" Scootaloo cuts her off, but then quickly deflates "Only... we don't have anything like that."
Thank Chrysalis. you think as you breath a sigh of relief and rejoin the fillies.
Sweetie takes the opportunity to speak up slowly. "We could just try being nice to him." she suggests. You like this idea way more than magic mind control and the others seem to be thinking it over.
"Hmm... nah. What are the chances that would work?" Scootaloo dismisses.
"Ain't there any other ideas?" Applebloom asks.
"Why don't you girls try asking the changeling who's right behind you." you snark in annoyance, having had enough of them talking behind your back (even though they're technically in front of you).
This causes the fillies to all look at you in shock that turns to guilt.
"Oh, sorry Mistah changeling- I mean Mistah..." she says trying to remember your new name.
"Ritz DeWitt, but you can just call me Ritz." you say before you give a sigh as you think,
Yeah... I don't have to be a psychic to tell there's gonna be ALOT of pain in my future...
Make sure not to overextend yourself until your wounds heal. Try to get more information about the other changelings first before making some convoluted plan regarding them. Oh, and get a disguise. One that actually works.
BrownDog77's comment
"I give you... the Cutie Mark Crusaders Clubhouse!" Apple Bloom proudly announces when it comes into view.
When you arrive at the clubhouse, you see that it's a treehouse in an apple tree with an extra outpost on the very top.
"Dibs on the outpost." (3) you comment as the four of you enter the clubhouse. As Applebloom lights a lantern, you say,
"Thanks for the hideout girls, but I'm pretty sure I'll have to go into town for some reason or another eventually and last I checked, my disguise spell is on the fritz and I'm not exactly Cosmare's Sexist Stallion Alive."
"Actually, my big sister makes clothes-" Sweetie Belle responds when Scootaloo interrupts.
"Yeah, there's bound to be clothes lying around you could use for a disguise." Scootaloo interrupts.
You ponder for a moment before replying,
"Hmmm... That could work, but I can't just slap on any t-shirt. At the very least, I need something to cover my holy limbs," you say as you hold up your changeling arms to emphasize your pun, "as well as my wings and the lower half of my face, but you don't have to do that as I'm NOT gonna get you girls in trouble stealing clothes for m-"
You swore you saw a lightbulb appear over Sweetie Belle's as she gasps,
"Mr. DeWitt, wait here! Girls, follow me!" before she, Apple Bloom, and Scootaloo zip off.
You just shrug this off and say to yourself,
"Might as well get some reading done while waiting..."
And with that you take out "The Dao of the River" book from your saddlebags...
ONE FAILED READING ATTEMPT AND 7 APPLES LATER
You tried to read some more of the book (specifically a mind-influencing technique called "Inspire Hate"), but the fact that the only lighting was a lantern makes the book even more difficult to read so you gave up and decided to practice your "Force Pull" on the apples hanging from the branches of the treehouse. You just shoved another core into your mouth and are about to Force Pull another apple to you when,
"Here you go Mr. DeWitt!"
"Gah-ack!" you exclaim in surprise and choke on the apple core you were munching on. Fortunately, Scootaloo and Apple Bloom start pounding on your back and you cough it up.
"Are you okay Mistah?" Apple Bloom asks in concern.
"I'm fine... I'm fine..." you reassure them while breathing heavily, "You really shouldn't surprise a bug while he's eating."
You look up and your eyes widen when you see Sweetie Belle presenting you with a black suit with black pants, a white cuff shirt, and a red tie along with a red scarf, "This should go great with your hat."
"Thank you so much." you say gratefully as you put the clothes on.
It's a bit large on you, but it's very comfortable and if it's one thing that Pony of Interest, Burnt Notice, How I Met Your Father, Kingstallions, ZZ Top and every Tarantino and Bond film all agree on: It's that a nice suit goes a long way.
This suit is exactly like Agent 47's suit in the Hitmane franchise! Great games, terrible movies.
As you inspect the suit you ask, "This look great girls, but where did you find them?"
"Well, a mysterious bald stallion with a bandage where his Cutie Mark should be came into my sister's store two weeks ago and paid 2000 Bits in advance for-" Sweetie Belle answers.
"Woah, woah, woah!" you interrupt in shock, "Let me get this straight, you stole an expensive suit from your sister?!" you ask.
"Actually, the stallion sent another letter yesterday with 500 Bits in it telling Rarity to just burn the suit and forget that she ever made it or saw him.(4)"
"Asking Rarity to burn a suit? He might as well have asked Pinkie Pie to throw away a batch of freshly-baked cupcakes." Scootaloo comments.
"And the scarf?"
"Just a scarf we found in her 'Last Season' pile." Sweetie Belle answers.
Nodding at this explanation, you then put on the red scarf. Feeling like an old pulp hero, you then proceed to declare,
"Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of ponies? *evil laugh* The shadow knows!"
All 3 of the fillies give you concerned looks.
"Um... You might not want to do that." Apple Bloom comments.
"Yeah, you're kinda scary when you do that." Scootaloo adds.
"And you'll just draw more unnecessary attention." Sweetie Belle concludes.
"Anyway, Allow me to show you just some of the highlights of our clubhouse..." Apple Bloom offers.
ONE TOUR LATER
Erised the ink-moth's comment
Once they've finished giving you a humorous tour of the clubhouse, you decide to bring up a concern.
"Just to be clear, you fillies won't tell anyling about me, Ritz DeWitt, actually being a changeling, right?"
"Of course not."
"We Pinkie Promise"
"Even though we don't know what an 'anyling' is."
"Pinkie Promise?" you ask with a confused head tilt.
"It's how we make promises here." Apple Bloom says before all three of them proceed to perform a series of odd gestures while saying,
"Cross our hearts and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in our eyes."
After taking in this strange pony ritual (5), you look out the window and realize that it's still the middle of the night and these three fillies are definitely out past their bedtime so you ask,
"Excuse me, but aren't pony foals supposed to have bedtimes? It's the middle of the night so aren't your parents going to be worried about you three being out this late?"
...
Big mistake. After a tense pause, all the air in the room is sucked up by the fillies' collective gasp before it suddenly explodes into a hurricane of panic as the crusaders run around the room yelling,
"I'M IN SO MUCH TROUBLE!"
"I JUST GOT MY SCOOTER BACK FROM MY LAST GROUNDING!"
"APPLEJACK'S GONNA TAN MY TAIL FOR THIS!"
"WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!!!" they scream.
"Cruel Chrysalis, what have I done..." you whine while rubbing your ears.
What are you going to do?
My Favourite Burger? Cheese Burger
------
"Oh no! I'm going to be in soo much trouble! When my sister discover about what happened she is going to ground me until I have the age of Granny Smith" Say Apple Bloom
"We need to think something..." Say Sweetie Belle
"Yeah! I also can't stay out this late without a responsa... Responsi... Whatever word is, adult" Begin to say Scootaloo
"Responsable" Say Sweetie Belle
"Coff Coff... dictionary" Say Scootaloo
"Nuh-uh" Say Sweetie Belle
"Yeah-ah" Say Scootaloo
"Nuh-uh"
"Yeah-Ah"
"Nuh-Uh... And at least I'm not a chicken" Say Sweetie Belle
"What?" Ask Scootaloo
"Ey yeah! We only need a responsable adult...." Say Apple Bloom as she suddenly seems to get a idea
Ritz is ready to flee when suddenly the fillies seem to get the same idea and look to him with very big puppy eyes.
"uuuhh.... Nope" Say the changeling directly
"Pleeeaaaaseeee" Say the fillies pouting as their lips tremble
"Sorry girls, I'm a changeling, cuteness could work for ponies but we learn to use that weapon as hatchlings..." Say Ritz looking to them
The fillies stop their act and look each other.
"Crap... It didn't work!" Say Apple Bloom
"But it always work!" Say Sweetie Belle
Just then Scootaloo seem to have a idea.
"Look... You get better thanks to our love so... In theory you are in debt with us, not to say the suit" Say Scootaloo
"Yeah... And?" Ask Ritz looking to Scootaloo, as he begin to imagine what could the filly was thinking
"So... It's time to pay your debt..." Say Scootaloo
"I could very well leave here and now... Why I need to help you?" Ask Ritz
"Because..." Begin to think Scootaloo
"We could give more love to you?" Ask Sweetie Belle
"Yeah... That!" Say Scootaloo
Ritz was surprised by the negotiation of the little filly in front of him, but in the end nod with the head
"Okay... I Accept" Say Ritz
"No... We want a Pinkie Promise that you are not going to leave tomorrow and leave us behind" Say Scootaloo
"Uuuhhh.... Okay" Ritz still didn't know why those promises are that important but she did the signs
"I Pinkie Promise to not leave tomorrow and leave you three behind, in exchange of your love and help... Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye" Ritz make the signs
"Great! And remember! Breaking a Pinkie Promise is the best way to lose a friend..." Begin to say Scootaloo when suddenly was interjected by a pink pony that appear from behind Ritz
"Forever!" Say the Pink pony scaring Ritz
"Gah! From where did you come?" Ask Ritz
"Duh! When a female pony and a male pony love too much..." Begin to say the pink pony as she begin to talk and talk
"Is she like that everytime?" Ask Ritz to the fillies that nod with the head
"And then I say, Oatmeal! Are you crazy? But then..." Continued the pink pony
"Gah! Make her stop! Please!" Shout Ritz.

And I cut here before I expand with others...
My favorite burger from a chain? The Royal Burger from Red Robin (yum). It is a burger cooked medium rare, with lettuce, cheese (cheddar is fine but i prefer pepper-jack), tomatoes, onion, a fried egg, and i like to add avocados to mine.
The crusaders are all running around in little circles yelling about the different punishments they are going to get while you just stare at them with a slightly amused and slightly worried look. All you can think is:
If those fillies were supposed to be in bed, does that mean that their parents are out looking for them? Oh gosh what if they come by this clubhouse of theirs and they find them with a changeling? I'll be executed! Well I will have to see if this disguise works eventually. I guess I need to explain that saved them from a chimera and they just got back. It is not completely a lie, just a tweak of the truth. They may get into trouble, but not as much as before.
CMC: AHHHHHHHHHH!
Ritz: Girls. I have an idea.
CMC: AHHHHHHHHH!
Ritz: *sigh* GIRLS!
CMC: AHHHHHH- Yes Mr. Ritz?
Ritz: I have an idea that may keep you out of some trouble. What if I put this disguise you got me on and talk to your parents and explain the way I found you. Of course I will leave out some of the finer details, like how I'm a changeling, but I think it will help keep them from being angry at you. They are probably just scared and will be happy to know you are safe from that chimera.
Scootaloo: Yeah that could work Rainbow will probably want to hear how you stopped the chimera.
Applebloom: Well them Mistah Ritz, let's go find Applejack first. She is probably at home and that is closest to here. Let's go.
Ritz: I hope I do not come to regret this kind decision. It could be my last if I'm not careful.
Cheeseburger. Plain except for mustard and ketchup, with more ketchup to dunk it in off to the side.
Immediately make up a long, convoluted plan that requires a ridiculous amount of work and time, only for something much more practical and close by to come along.
"Okay okay, look," you tell them as you go over the plan "If we're going to get through this without any problems, we're going to need to keep our story straight. Now... let's go over this one more time."
...
The four of you stand outside of the farmhouse where Applebloom lives. Applejack stands in the doorway, staring you down with an expression that flickers back and forth between shock, disbelief, and pure irritation towards her little sister and her friends.
The farmpony shakes her head and rubs an ear with her hoof. "Now... ah'm sorry. Would y'all mind runnin' all that by me again?"
You breathe a sigh of annoyance and being from the top. "Okay, so... Around noon, all four of us were at the bowling alley, and we stayed there until about 7:30. At which time we noticed that Goth chick from the Breakfast Club was bowling in the lane next to us, so we asked her for her autograph. But she didn't have a pen, so we followed her out to her car. Then on the way we were accosted by five Arcane-ologists who wanted to give us all personality tests, which were administered at the Center of Arcane Science in Hen-ver until 10:45 at night-"
You pause to take a deep breath.
"... afterwards we accidentally boarded the wrong carrige home and ended up in Rancho de Burritos Rojos, south of Castle Rock. But after hours of waiting, we finally lucked out and got a ride home with a pegasus who was missing his left index feather, named Gary Bushwell, arriving home at 11:46." You finish your long-winded explanation. "And since I'd already come that far, I figured I'd walk them home too."

My favorite burger would have to be the Mushroom Swiss at the world-famous Fatburger chain. So tasty!

Got any favorite burger chains/restaurant?

This joke is hilarious but I can't help but feel that the comment should be more... substantial.
Seeing how this is 815's/Ritz's/your first face-to-face meeting with one of the Mane 6, it feels kind of anticlimactic and lacking to skip the first impressions and just "smash to reference-joke".
Plus it's the middle of the night. Seeing how close-knit the Apples are, shouldn't Big Macintosh and Granny Smith be awake with worry and/or looking for the CMC?
6423926 Nope, I like the same Burger King that McDonalds
6423926 Hardee's (ironic, as I am an American Unionist).

After your recapping, Applejack looks even more shocked and confused than before. "Right then..." she mouths slowly "But who are you? I don't recall us bein' properly introduced."
"Oh, of course. Where have I misplaced my manners? My name is Ritz DeWitt, I came here from Canterlot hoping to find someplace quiet to hang out for a while. Things have been a bit rough for me, you see." You tell her, weaving the truth in where you can.
"Well thank you kindly for lookin' out fer Applebloom and her friends." Applejack says with a tip of her hat, before turning her attention to the Crusaders standing next to you. "Y'all come on inside. I don't think I should trouble anypony else this late, so y'all can sleep here 'till morning, and we'll get you home tomorrow-"
"YAY! SLEEPOVER!" the fillies cheer.
"With a very sincere apology for makin' yer folks worry about you." Applejack finishes, to which they all visibly deflate.
"Well, if that'll be all, I'll just be going now." you say and give a nod, "Have a nice night."
But as you turn to leave, you hear Applejack call your name. "Hold up there Mister DeWitt. Now it ain't none of mah business, but where are y'all stayin'? I'd hate to think of a fine gentlestallion such as yerself wandering the streets alone at this hour."
You're about to simply tell her not to worry, but Applelboom is too quick and tells her, "It's okay, we're letting him stay in out clubhouse since he's got nowhere else to stay." And you groan.
"Not to mention no money." Scootaloo adds while you face-hoof.
"And he's secretly a cha-" Sweetie is about to obliviously blurt out your secret but the other two shove their hooves in her mouth.
"What was that last one?" Applejack says while raising a quizzical brow.
Thinking quickly, you put on the poor wounded stallion act in hopes of drawing her attention away. "Okay yes, it's true! It's all true. I'm just a poor bit-less stallion without a home or a friend in the world! Woe is me!" you say, falling to your knees and hamming it up as much as you can, thankfully it worked and she isn't paying attention to the Cuitie-mark loudmouths anymore. Now you just have to wrap this up and retreat to the clubhouse of solitude. "But do not worry about me, dear lady. For I am of a hardy sort, and shall find my way just fine. Thus I bid you all a good night."
And with that you begin to back away out the door.
"Now hold on there pardner. It just wouldn't be right of me to turn down a pony in need. I insist ya stay here for the night." Applejack says as she drags you back inside with an iron grip of kindness. "We've got a spare guest room of two or three fer when the family comes over. And besides, I bet Granny and Big Macintosh would be glad to meet you over breakfast."
Perhaps you hammed it up a bit too much.
this was bad, as you understood 2 of these fillys where related to the elements and you had to take them home... OK well you didn't have to but you'd be a huge jerk if you sat on your butt all night, besides they would be getting in trouble because of you, and you couldn't let that happen.
---------
you decide to head to applejack first since she's the closest.
"sweet Celestia, rarity's going to kill me!"
sweetie bell exclaimed. "you? sweetie, have you even been grounded before!?" scootaloo replied. "have you ever sown a dress before?"
"yeah once or twice actually, boring but not that hard."
sweetie bell chuckled at that.
"oh but you haven't done it with rarity standing over your shoulder, I honestly don't know how my sister, or anypony really, can stand it! ugh, and then she complains about the slightest mistake! 'oh sweetie your a millimeter to high! oh no! you got the shiny glitter, not the 'shiny' shiny glitter!' the buck does that even mean?! I AM NOT DOING ANOTHER NIGHT OF THAT BULL-"
"OK, OK! I get it! Calm down! yeesh, sorry I asked!" scootaloo replied, as Applebloom stared in stunned silence. "phew least tha worst that can happen ta me is a few extra chores..."
you hear Applebloom mumble.
you decide nows a good time to come up with a plan to avoid... ahem, that....
6421080
"OK so I got it! " you exclaim, gaining the attention of present company. "alright so what we'll do is hide Applebloom in an apple cart to get close while sweetiebell uses a candle to burn a rope connected to the house which scootaloo will then uses to swing onto the Roof with Applebloom grabbing her hoof along the way where they will meet up with me me and I can drill a hole in the Roof directly above Applebloom's bedroom!" you say as you pant for breath because the author was to lazy to add any commas to that excessively long sentence. "OK..." sweetie bell started. "I've heard, and failed to pull off some bad plans before but... that.... were you even trying there?" "yeah.... " Applebloom joined in. "that sounds like ya were making it up as ya went along, I'm really surprised you came up with somethan worse than scoots here."
"hey! "
" fine." you grumble. "we won't do things the awesome way." you said as you begin to explain a more realistic plan.
6422093
6425936
------
6am.
you had to make it to 6am.
why? because A: video games have taught you that that specific time of day is magical and would solve all your problems. and B: Applebloom had told you that Applejack usually starts here chores at that time and would finally leave you alone.
every few minutes she would pop in and ask you a question, looking extremely exhausted, and it was getting increasingly hard to keep your story straight. when asked about it she would say she simply wanted to know you better, and you couldn't exactly tell her to GTBO and STBU in her own house so you had to resign to starting at the door comeing up with awnsers to her potential questions that wouldn't have a giant plot hole in your story, occasionally glancing left at a clock on your wall that was illuminated by a strip of moonlight, slowly fading to that of the sun's
as you hear hoof steps closeing in....
'NO...' they get louder 'NO!' your hear the door knob turn. 'BUUUUUUUUUU-' only to see applejack's sister Applebloom. "hey you asleep?" she whispered near your ear. "no... why? " you whisper back. "AJ wanted me ta see if your sleeping, dunno why, she just started mumbling halfway through her sentence and passed out. we'll I'm goin back to sleep bye." she said as she left and quietly closed the door behind her. 'thank you Luna, the Queen, Celestia, whoever or whatever did that.' you think to yourself before you finally fall asleep at 5 in the morning.
------
that's right I made a comment driven comment in a comment driven story!
problem?
all this was typed with a smartphone BTW.
as for your question.....
encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT6Me5AmEU6gWusA_6LRYKFLI2X9P5AQZp5imNQP3iKFNmTsYNWgA
about it and I never will. no offense.
You and Applebloom argue about the practicality of building machines that can fly.
Ritz; "It's like my granny always used to say..."
You think of Granny Smith in a thought bubble, who says, "If we were meant to fly, we'd- wait, I'm not your grandma," poking you in the eye with a cane as she does so.
3 Fillies running around screaming like it's the end of the world? There's only one rational thing to do.
"AAAAAAAHHHHH!!! We're all going to get grounded!" you yell running around and joining the madness, causing them to shout more.
At some point, you realize that you are the adult and you should take responsibility, the buck is wrong with you?
You whistle real loud and get their attention to get them to stop.
"Alright, don't worry, I'll sneak you all home, and if we get caught, I'll talk to your family and distract them."
When you get to the farm house, you see a Big Red Stallion, and an Orange Earth Pony Mare in the barn. You look down at Applebloom and say.
"Follow my lead, I have to make a good first impression"
"OK,"
"Hello there sir and madam," you call out and they look up.
"Who are you?" the mare asks.
"I'm Mr. Dewitt, and I've brought your daughter home."
All three of the Apples choke at that.
"Come Again?" says Applejack with a peeved look.
"Your daughter, Applebloom here, and might I say you have a lovely family" you say, not noticing the "no" gestures from her and the other Crusaders.
"That's my Sister!" yells AJ.
"Oh...so the Big guy is not your..."
"HE'S MY BROTHER!" says Applebloom with a facehoof.
You look back down at her, knowing your good first impression is right out the window.
"Well how was I supposed to know? All you said was your family was here," you then look back up. "Sorry about that, I just assumed..."
"Well you know what they say about assuming. Land sakes, Applebloom is 8 years old, How old do you think I am Mr.?" AJ asks with a snarl.
"IIIIIII..." you know that's a loaded question that Mare's don't really want answered, so as your mind screams Abort Abort, you just keep saying, "IIIIIIII...."
Luckily, the Big Red Stallion sees the situaiton as a funny accident and comes to your aid and dissolves the situation.
Then you get to tell your foolproof story you and the girls rehearsed.
My Favorite Hamburger comes from What-A-Burger. It's a Southwest burger chain, and one of the last places I know that have a Triple Burger available for fast food.
It's good, delicious food, and the best part is, they are open 24 hours, both drive thru and walk in.
Out of boredom, you check the pockets of your suit, Surprisingly you find a Golden Fountain Pen in your suit breast pocket, a Golden Lighter in your pants pocket, and a Golden Cigarette Case in your cuff shirt breast pocket.
You don't know why, but you feel that these items are somehow connected to your cufflinks...
I don't like burgers, sorry
