CHAPTER 6
After our little reunion, Dashie and I were confronted by everypony else, who were all looking at me with guilty faces.
"Wait, THEY feel bad? I'm the guy who did all this stuff! Ugh..."
"Listen... We just wanted to come and say we were sorry... I mean... If that's OK..." Fluttershy looked at my neck, and her eyes shrank. "EEP!"
"Shy, just calm down, I'm fine... I just... Made a really bad choice." Yeah, no kidding.
"Well, I'm glad to see you're OK... We felt so guilty for getting mad at you... We're sorry..." Twilight hung her head in shame.
"You're sorry? Girls... I'M sorry! I'm the one who decided to off himself... I shouldn't have even let the thought cross my mind..." I felt myself getting teary-eyed, so I looked away.
"What'dya mean Yer sorry? We're th' ones who drove Ya t' to that..."
"Well, if anypony is to blame, it's everypony but you and Fluttershy, AJ. I never came to see you guys. But that's not the point. The point is, I tried to take the cowards way out, and that... That's just not right. I shouldn't have done what I did, and I regret it, but hey, I'm alive and kicking, so you girls have nothing to do but be proud of yourselves for saving me..."
They all beamed at me, then Rarity gave me a once-over, and gave me a slightly irked look. "Darling, you can't expect me to just let you walk around looking..." She sniffed the air around me and scrunched up her face. "And smelling like that, can you?"
"Well, let's see, I haven't had anyplace to stay asides from back alleyways for the past few weeks, and I've been drinking heavily and throwing up all over myself. What did you expect me to smell like, roses and tulips?"
"Awww, don't be like that! Come on! Let's turn that frownzie upside downzie!" She shoved her hooves onto my face and started trying to shift it around. I gently pushed her away.
"Thanks, Pinkie... Listen, I'd love to stay and chat, but I have something I need to do... Actually, AJ, would you come with me? I need to talk to you too."
Her face became the same color as her apples. "Umm... Alright. Let's go... Ah'll seeya later everypony."
We headed out of the hospital, and everypony went their separate ways, each with their own things to do.
"So... What is it Ya' wanted t' talk t' me 'bout?"
"I heard what you said to me in the hospital."
She blushed again, and looked away. "Y-Ya' heard that?"
"Yeah. I'm not weirded out or anything, I just wanna know why." I tipped my hat a bit to keep the sun out of my eyes.
"Well, Yer' a hard worker, Yer' real nice, considerate, and Ya always keep 'n open mind t' everything. Not t' mention Ya've helped mah family out a bit, 'specially Mac. And Ya've kept Apple Bloom outta trouble once er' twice." She gave me a small smile. I rubbed my chin, thinking about all of this for a moment or so.
"Huh... She's right... Well, I guess I'd best not press the matter."
"Alright. Well, AJ, I won't let this get in the way of our friendship, as long as things don't get weird." I cocked a slightly accusing eyebrow at her.
"No problem. Like Ah' said, Ah' know Yer' married, so Ah' won't try anything. Ah' am the Element o' Honesty after all."
I chuckled, and got ready to take off. I hadn't used my sneakers much since I got them back, and I needed to talk to Scoots anyways. "Alrighty then, seeya later AJ!"
She waved as I flew off towards Dashie's- my house.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When I landed, I just walked inside, knowing the door wouldn't be locked. I always wondered why we had a door... We could just fly in through the windows.
"Hey... Scoots? You here?" I was semi-yelling for her. I was worried she would be freaked out by my barging in.
She rounded the corner, and just stared in disbelief when she saw me. "You're... Alive?"
I just grinned at her. "You think I'll go out that easily...?" Then, I dropped the act, and went into full on serious mode. "I'm sorry for all the grief I've caused you guys... I never meant to leave. I had no say in the matter..."
"I know... Mom told me all about it. I'm sorry... Dad."
I felt myself tear up. "Did you just call me..."
She started tearing up too, and just slowly nodded.
"Scoots..."
"Dad..."
She jumped at me, and knocked me over into a hug, crying. I was bawling my eyes out. I had my daughter back... Nothing could have ruined that moment.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry I w-was so m-mad at you... I-I didn't th-think you w-w-would do that..." She buried her face into my shoulder, and I just stroked the back of her mane.
"I kn-know Scoots... I-I'm sorry I t-tried to take the c-c-cowards way out... It w-wasn't right, I know it w-w-wasn't..." I held her as if my life depended on it, rocking back and forth on the ground. I couldn't believe that I had my life back. It felt so... Right.
"So... I see you two have made up." Dashie rounded the corner, giving me and Scoots a warm look.
I wiped my eyes my nose off on my jacket sleeve. I took the time to throw my hat on the couch and shake my hair out. "Yeah... It feels great for everything to be back to normal... Hey, I know it's a bit soon... But d'ya think I could start... Staying here again?"
She just smiled, and kissed me on the cheek. "Sure, why not." She closed her eyes and smiled, slightly tilting her head. It was like something out of a cartoon.
"So, what do you two think of dinner?" Dashie was heading towards the kitchen. I'd missed her cooking so much...
"YES PLEASE!" I threw my arms up for emphasis, getting a chuckle from both of them.
"Good, because I'm making veggie stir fry."
"That sounds like something AJ would make..." I chuckled at my southern cooking joke.
"Why would you say that?" Dashie gave me a confused look.
"Oh, no reason... You wouldn't understand." I waved my arm dismissively, and she raised her eyebrow even further, until she just smiled and shook her head. I sat down on the couch, and just smiled.
"I'm home..."
YES! EES HAPPY TIME NOW!
yaaaaay
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!
IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL!
5 bucks says he gets arrested again for beating up Hoops.

Hey bro, don't rain on the happy parade!
YAY!
126681 My reaction to your attempt to ruin the happy mood.
FINALLY HAPPINESS!
Damn it...
Y U MADE THEM HAPPY?!
Not that I'm complaining...
But it's a good bet pikafrogbro.
Happy timev
Now we wait for something to fuck it up
thats all fine and dandy, but now what? whats there to do now that everythings back to normal? im sure we'll find out soon enough
This is just the Red Herring. Get us all nice and happy with some sweet, sappy reunion first. Then BAM! Tragedy strikes and it will hurt worse as a result of it. If I am correct, then my dear sir, you are evil.
FUCK YEAH!!!!
HAPPY ENDINGS FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!
Yay! Happiness!
Sorry but Mard93 is crying of joy right now, please don't worry for my friend, he's overjoyed
Ikelord903 or as he calls me Ike
Mr. Awesome Author...
I have noticed a large amount of DDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW taking place in this chapter, you earn a cookie, that is all...for now.
Finally things getting back to normal.
At the end there's one thing that I'm surprised didn't come up yet. Kyle mentioned that he's pretty much been living in the streets and puking on himself from drinking too much for some time. Why hasn't Dash and/or Scoots yelled at him to go take a shower? We already know Rarity has made a point that he doesn't smell or look all that great right now and the first thing he does after getting home and apologizing to Scoots and finding out dinner is being made is plop on the couch.
Huh, I don't believe it. I was wrong for this chapter. But maybe in the next chapter or two, it will get sadder. But for now, HAPPY TIME!!!! YYYEEEHHHHAAAWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just read all six chapters, It's good. I keep thinking "It can be better" But I'm the guy who keeps looking for faults and I may sometimes mistake a fault for what a person is really like.
BTW, I don't know if you'll have a use for it in a story but I think this song by Morphine fits your character rather well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycCRTl-_aCE
126766 I've got the same thought. He did beat the tar out of Hoops, no way is he going to get away with that. I'm also betting that Torrentican will reappear at some point as well.
Seeing as we've had 2 super happy chapters now, something is going to happen soon to make everything worse. After all, one of the best ways to make something sad and depressing is to build up all the happiness beforehand and then chip away at it.
126681 How about I give you some now for no reason?
126681
I can only imagine one way that would happen. Does Hoops even HAVE family in the Guard? :P
I feel at peace now...happy face...
this is awesome
all is right with the world OR IS IT
hopefully it is

I look forward to reading what happens next in your story
126681 Actually after Kyle beat the bones out of Hoops. That was the first thing I thought, I really do Hoops is gonna find some way to get him arrested. He already did it once...
Every time I read the name of the song I closed it not wanting to cry again.
129390 .....why?

It's a beautiful song that perfectly matches this chapter.

Yes, but think. Who knows how long Hoops has been doing what he did to Scoots?

126769 Holy Crowbars!! That~ That avatar is strangely....... epic!!
Wow that song. It really does a great job at setting the mood for the scene with him and Scootaloo. I felt tears coming to my eyes as I read it.
*pulls out full auto stun gun*

Is it just me, or do you really like Persona?
