> How Did This Happen? > by Cobolt Soundwave > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Really Celestia, Really? (edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was relatively late at night when I was playing Payday 2 on my pc. Let me just say that my computer is close to a little over two years old, so it goes without saying that my 'rig' isn't a perfect thing to play games on. Most of my games do work pretty well though, so that's good. Now, back to me, I've given up trying to get the game to run long enough without it completely crapping itself so I did what every gamer does...rage-quit. "Grrrrrrrrr, fuck this crap!" I kept my voice low so as not to alert my parents to my late night gaming. I was just switching over to the next game; it's 'Call of Duty: Ghosts' if any of you are wondering. Yes I play C.O.D., and yes, I know that most C.O.D. games are full of older males with their children in the background as they play, and yes I know that there are also little children that yell at you, call you a faggot, and also tell you that they have had FAR more sex than you have at the age of twelve. But weirdly enough, that happens to be the only Call of Duty game that I can actually 'tear it up' in. Sorry I got side-tracked from the story, just give me a moment to remember where I was...ahhhh yes, I remember now. I was just loading the game when my phone gave my a little chime, letting me know that I had just gotten a new e-mail. Being the curious person I was, I decided to check it. It said that is was from somebody with the initials… P.C.? I found it really funny since at the moment I was on my computer. I decided that instead of opening the thing up on my phone, which of course, would've taken me about five seconds to do. I went into google and opened my e-mail, and loaded it up. I just stared at the screen for what seemed a good ten seconds or so before thinking to myself. "This has got to be a joke." Now I wasn't mad, or upset, I was more amused than anything else. I thought it was pretty funny, since most of my friends know that I am a brony. I just chalked it up to one of them actually having the balls to send a joke e-mail like this. I read the thing just for shits and giggles. It went a little something like this: Dear, Mr. Rojas It was come to my attention that you have countless times mentioned how you would like to come to Equestria, and live in my kingdom. I would like to extend an invitation here, so you may visit. You may choose to decline of course, but know that if you do, you will not receive another invitation from me. "So how would you like to come to Equestria?" Sincerely, Princess Celestia Well...that was interesting. I wonder, should I reply? Or should I just ignore it? If it is one of my friends just fucking around with me, it won't matter. Then again, hey, you never know. "Ahhh, fuck it." I mutter to myself as I respond to it. Yes I would like to come. Signed, your faithful subject. I just chuckled to myself as it notified me that I sent it. I was half expecting to see some dude's or even my friends’ dong, in the next e-mail, but alas, that did not happen, instead my computer gave me the one thing that all gamers and non-gamers in general never want to see. My computer blue-screened. To say that I was mad was an understatement. I was furious; I had replied to an email that made my computer probably break. So I did the only logical thing...I yelled and hit my desk. "What the actual frick man!?" I yelled and slammed my hands, palm down, on the table, careful to not smash my mouse and keyboard in me rage. I was actually surprised that my parents, or brother for that matter, didn't wake up. Normally my parents would wake up for the littlest things and my brother would follow with it coming out of his room yelling for whatever made the noise to, and I quote, "Shut the fuck up." my brother is just like me; cranky if we get woken up before our bodies wake us up themselves. My anger disappeared completely as my screen went from blue screen, to a vortex thing that you would see in the intro of a Doctor Who episode. What? I love that show, don't judge. Anyway, They screen is now spinning and showing a menagerie of colors. My curiosity strikes again and I lean forward to look at the spinning screen. "What the fuuu-" Was all my brain had time to process before I felt my head getting closer to the screen...I wasn't moving it, I was being sucked into it. Before I had time to do or say anything else I was already halfway into it. My brain, being the lovely organ that it is, only had one final thought before either I A. died by getting sucked into something deadly, or B. actually going to Equestria. I thought, "Well...at least I'll look decent when I get there, if I'm not, ya'know, getting sucking into nothingness of course." I've read fanfiction before, and they all say that when you get sucked through a portal, that all you see is blackness. I'll just say, complete, and utter, bull. That shit was about as bright as staring at a light bulb directly. It wouldn't be so bad if, ya know, I wasn't easily sickened by the feeling of spinning and/or tumbling. I was surprised that I didn't blow chunks in the vortex; I really didn't want to run into my own stomach contents...gross. After what felt like a good minute or so, which I later found out was only fifteen seconds, I saw an even brighter light at the end and I had to squint my eyes so I wasn't blinded by the light...man I wish I could listen to that song right now *sigh*...where was I...oh yeah, about to fly through, what I hoped was the end of the portal, vortex, whatever this thing was. So I braced for impact as I felt myself fall through the other end. Only to land on something soft, the thing is that, that soft thing made an 'oomph' noise. I slowly opened my eyes and notice that I was...muzzle? I had a muzzle now, when did that happen? Never mind that, I'll worry about that later. Anyway, I was muzzle to muzzle with none other than my favorite princess of the night...Luna. I did the only thing sensible in this situation. "Hi." "Hello." That voice! Man that voice, gotta love it, and at least she didn't yell into my ear and completely rupture it. "Umm, sorry 'bout landing on your, uhhhh, lap...your highness." "N-No, it's quite alright, you didn't know." Wow. She was really taking this whole 'sitting on her lap thing' well, huh. I would have thought that she would freak-out in this kind of situation. Oh well. "Haha, hey Luna, it looks like ya' finally caught yourself a stallion, huh?" Said a voice, a voice that I knew all too well, and it was giggling. DAT GIGGLE! "Rainbow, behave yourself darling. She's probably just in shock is all. though I would had tossed him off my lap already.” Ahhh Rarity, that mare seriously deserves to get her break already and make it big. Also, love that accent she has. Screw all you other people who think that someone sounding so proper all the time is annoying, shame on you for thinking that. I turn my head and see the six mares who are like, the only reason why I actually decided to respond...that and there was the small chance that I could meet the princess that I was sitting on...I'm still sitting on her. Crud! With all the grace of a flopping fish that just got taken from the river, I barrel rolled out of her lap and right smack dab onto the hard, cold, unforgiving floor. "Ouch, that looked like it hurt. You alright there blueberry?" "That voice, it doesn't sound familiar. Wait, blueberry, what?" "Barb! Say you’re sorry! And for the love of Celestia will someone PLEASE help him up!?" "What?...WHAT!? BARB!? As in...female Spike!? Okay...what?" I thought to myself. I was very confused now. Although that thought process didn't last long, as I felt myself being lifted up by a pair of strong, yet gentle hands. When I looked up I saw the freckled face of Applejack. Okay, gonna admit, 'cause, ya know, no shame that I almost squealed that APPLE-FREAKING-JACK was picking me up off the floor. "Ya alright there sugarcube?" I just nodded my head. At least my mouth wasn't gaping from the surprise. I turned my attention to the only dragon in the room, and lo and behold, I was right, it was a rule sixty-three Spike, or I guess it's Barb now. "Ummm, sup." To which they replied with a chorus of greetings. "Hello." There's my favorite librarian turned princess. "Hey." Cool, I got a dragon friend...I hope. "Hello darling." I just smile back at her, bowing seems to much and I'm too far to kiss her hand, which I'm sure she'd eat right up. "Howdy!" I tipped an imaginary hat at her, which made her grin. "Hello there." This one much quieter than the rest. I think I knew who said that. "HIYA!" Ahhh, good 'ol Pinkie. The last one ended up being right up in my face, not that I minded though since it was from my favorite rainbow mare. "Sup! I'm sure you know who I am, but I'll tell ya again anyway, juuuuust in case you forgot. I'm Rainbow Dash, Equestria's best, and fastest flier and future wonderbolt!" Yup, never change Dash, never change. I just had to say hi again to her. "Wassup Dash! And just so you know, I know you’re all of that." Rainbow really like that, she puffed out her chest in pride...until Rarity had to bring down the Anti-fun hammer right on our heads. "Dear, don't inflate her ego anymore than what it is already, it might go to her head." Dash deflated at that and was about to retort, until I beat her to it. "Wow, Rarity, that was just cold. It's perfectly fine to brag a little, especially when you actually have the skills to back it up with." I said with a smug look on my face. Dash was just staring at me with a look of awe on her face, that I actually defended her like that. "Well yes, but she does it-" I cut her off though. "I mean come on, you brag a bit about your clothes too, and how you've gotten to make clothing for famous ponies, right? Right?" Rarity was a bit flabbergasted at my statement, but she didn't deny it. "Well, yes I, uhhmm...help me out here somepony won't you?" When nopony came to her verbal aid I summed it up to a win. "Ha! Sweet, Rarity zero, me one...give me five Dash!" Dash was quick to reciprocate the high-five. "Heck yeah!" The room was fulled with an echoing 'slap' sound from our high-five. Only to be cut right through by a decently loud clearing of one's throat. Everypony, including me, turned to see none other than Princess Celestia standing with her arms crossed in-front of her chest with a brow raised. "Hello everypony, sorry I'm a bit tardy to the party. I was just getting changed into something more casual for our little chat." All six mares gave a small bow out of respect and I did so as well. "You don't have to bow to me young one, now, stand up." I assumed that she was talking to me. It's weird, since I swear I thought I would have been nervous if I ever met with her for real, but I was acting as if I had just saw an old friend. "Hi Celestia, so is it safe to assume that it's your fault that I got sucked through a portal and fell on your sisters’ lap?" I said with my arms crossed, my brows furrowed and a fake sense of accusation. Of course it didn't work in my favor, since she knew that I was just joking. "Well yes and no. That would be Eris' fault, not my own." "Eris...as in the female version of Discord...can life get any better!?" I thought to myself once again, until a flash of light and a 'pop' noise later, said draqonicus was standing beside Celestia. "Hello human, or should I say pony at this point." Hmm, well that would explain the whole muzzle deal, wait hold up...blueberry...pony...I need a mirror. "Quick, Eris, I need a mirror!" I shouted. She just snapped her fingers and a full length mirror popped up in-front of me. I practically shout-no I did shout, I was ecstatic. "Holy sweet mother of Celestia and Luna I look just like my ponysona!" I was indeed my ponysona, my fur was close to a dark blue, my eyes were a light-ish blue, my hair-err, mane was jet black on top with dark red in the back, my tail was jet black on the sides with the dark red hairs sandwiched between them and I had wings. Ladies and gentlemen, or I guess it would be mares and gentlecolts now I suppose, I'm a Pegasus. What baffled me was the fact that I had that pair of green Skullcandy Skullcrushers around my neck. How I didn't notice them before was a complete mystery. Also, I had hooves for feet instead of, well, you know, feet. Not a big deal, though, it was a little weird know that I didn't have toes anymore. There goes all the fun times I used to bug people by sticking my foot in their face. It was fun, until someone actually bit them, after that, not so much. My cutie mark was also a pair of black headphones with silver accents and red cushioning it wasn't on my flanks, at least not that I knew of since I saw it on my neck. This was getting more and more awesome by the second. I was also wearing my favorite camouflage cargo pants with a shirt that had a human looking Vinyl Scratch on it with a button up camouflage shirt. I also had my Doctor Who wristband on my right wrist, and my Rainbow Dash one on the other, topped off with my brony snap-back. Even though I know I didn't have some of the items or accessories when I was still back home I paid it no mind. Twilight's voice busted through the silence finally after so long. "Well if you’re done admiring yourself, maybe you can introduce yourself finally." She half asked, half stated. The others just nodded their heads, Pinkie’s head was a blur...no, really. It was a blur from how fast she was nodding. That mare is all kinds of awesome. "The names Soundwave! Cobalt Soundwave!" I said enthusiastically. Then I looked down and saw that I was hovering in the air. I've never flown a single day in my life, nor have I had wings until just a few minutes ago, and here I was, flapping my new wings, which felt amazing by the way, and flying. "Woah! sweet! I can fly! HAHA nice!" I said as I thrust my hand upwards in a cheer. "Awwww-yeah now I got another flying buddy. Hope ya' can keep up." She gave me a cocky grin, to which I replied with my own. "Oh you better believe it, Dash." Still flapping and staying afloat while crossing my arms. Celestia decided now to butt into the conversation. "I'll take it you like it here so far?" I dropped down to the floor since it wasn't too high from ground anyway. "Yeah, no, I don't like it," Celestia was about to ask why, but I wasn't finished. "I love it!" Celestia's smile returned. "I mean, just wow." I couldn't say anything else so Celestia said it for me. "I'll just take it you like it here." I just nodded my head. Then Eris spoke next. "How'd you like your trip here?" I decided to be a wise-guy with my answer. "Well the ride sucked, I didn't like the colors...oh and there were no complimentary in-flight peanuts." That sure got a rise out of Luna, she was trying not to laugh at watching Eris getting her snarky question decimated. Even Celestia was failing to suppress her giggles. Music to my ears. I just chuckled at the look on Eris' face. She looked cute with a pout on her face. "Awww don't be sad Eris, 'sides, you look cute when you pout." I said with a smirk on my face. Eris' face was bright crimson and now Celestia and Luna were holding their sides, the others as well were laughing. "Okay, okay, come on, let's leave her alone girls." Eris relaxed and her blush started to reduce slightly although I noticed it was kind of still there, but not much. I walked over to her and she looked away, not making eye contact. "Hmmm, must be that comment about being cute I made." I thought. "Hey, come on take it easy, if the Goddess of chaos is to busy being bashful who's going to make cotton candy clouds that rain CHOCOLATE RAIN!" She looked at me finally so I could look into her eyes. They were red of course, the same as if she would have been Discord, but on her they looked beautiful. "Besides," I gave her a raised eyebrow and threw my arms up into the air while I finished. "EVERYPONY NEEDS A LITTLE CHAOS IN THEIR LIVES!" Eris' eyes were twinkling with happiness. Guess I must have made here happy there, good. "A sprinkle of it there, a sprinkle of it here, a sprinkle of it everywhere!" All the while waving my arms around like a magician. The others were looking at me with varying stages of amusement. Celestia's being the most amused. "Finally somepony who appreciates a little chaos every now and again, unlike sunbutt over there." Okay, I swear I thought I bust my gut with how hard I laughed at her comment on her butt. "HAHAHAHAHA OH GOSH MY SIDES, MAKE IT STOP, MAKE IT STOP!" In between my bellowing laughter. Barb seemed to find it funny too 'cause she was holding her sides... and was that a little giggle escaping Twilight's mouth. "Okay, if we are quite done speaking about my rear," I was still gigglin' a bit I managed to compose myself...for all of two seconds before my and Eris bust out laughing again. Celestia just rolled her eyes at us as we, at last, started to calm down and wipe the tears from our eyes. "Okay, now that you giggle's are out of the way, let's talk." Still letting out a chuckle or two I asked back. "About what?" "Your home!" She said cheerfully. "Oh this is gonna' be good." I thought. "Let the questions floweth forth." "And that's a car in a nutshell." I said crossing my arms, finally done with their game of 150 question's. I didn't mind, the look on Twilight's face was a reward all in and of itself. "So, what do you guys think about my home now?" Everypony had different looks on their faces. Twilight's was fascination, Rainbow's was that of looked determined, but I know why, I had told her of the famous 'blue angels' group of jet pilots who, are like the wonderbolts in a way, and she said she'd fly just as fast as them. Rarity had a sparkle in her eye since I told her about some of the fashion and showed her some pics on my phone, which made it through the portal with me, and now she wanted to make a new line with some of the ideas based off of what I showed her. Applejack was a bit confused, but understood why humans need so much "Technological mumbo-jumbo" as she called it. Pinkie tongue quite literally dropped from her mouth when told about all the different pastries that I had eaten in the past and she was drooling slightly. Fluttershy awwed at all the animals that I showed her on my phone. Celestia said that I might be picking up some Wi-fi from the castle. My only thought, "Sweet, free internet!" no worrying about not being able to look stuff up on my phone, though 'imma have to get rid of it when I get a phone from here. Kinda want a new one, the one I got is all beat up. Anyway, moving on to Barb, she whooped at a video of a guy taking a lighter and a can of aerosol and making a flamethrower out of them. Celestia and Luna were surprised at how far we were with our tech. and told me that besides planes, cars, and some other small things, that we were pretty much the same tech. wise. "Well your home is certainly chaotic." Said a certain draconicus. "Oh yeah, it is...and I wouldn't have had it any other way." I said with a toothy smile. A thought just crossed my mind, where am I going to sleep tonight. I mean, I could ask one of the girls if I could stay with them for the night. "Hey girls?" They looked at me. "Where am I gonna' sleep tonight?" The mares all looked at each other and then turned back to me. "Well you can stay with either of of us if you like." Said Twilight. "Well, gee thanks. I could have found a motel or..." I remembered that I have no money here. "yeah, right with what money." Celestia, oh heavens bless her, what she did next really made me happy. "Well since you have no money at all and no place to stay, I can give you a small amount to get by for now and I can even have a place bought out for you as well." She had that caring and loving smile on, that one she always had. "Celestia, you have no idea how happy you just made me. If it weren't for fear of being sent to outer space I would kiss you...on the cheek. I ain't that cheeky, heehee, to try that mind you." "Ohh I wouldn't mind." Wow Celestia, just wow. "Don't give me any ideas now princess, haha." After that we walked out to the courtyard where both the Princesses handed me a bag of bits each. I quickly remembered that I didn't have a place to put them. That is until my Rainbow Dash 20% Cooler, messenger bag fell out of the sky and fell into my hands, knocking the bits right out of them and making me let out a small 'oomph' from the impact. "Huh, wha!? Where did you come from? My lovely bag you." I kissed it to the confusion of all around me and admiration of a certain Pegasus. When I looked inside, my eyes nearly bugged out of my head. Inside was my gaming headset, gaming mouse, aviator sunglasses, Jam speaker with the wire for charging it, A bottle of my cologne which was a bit weird, and my three favorite vinyl figurines of Twilight, Rainbow, and Trixie. "Oh, heck yes! And I have a place to put my bits now." I said happily as I put my bag around my shoulders and put the bit bags inside. "Okay, NOW I'm all set." "Great," Twilight clapped her hands. "it was nice seeing you again Celestia and Luna, but we should really be getting to the train station if we are to get home by ten tonight." Ahhh Twilight, always the punctual one. "Alright, farewell my friend, I shall come by sometime next week to check-up on our new friend here." I smiled and crossed my arms. "I look forward to it." With that, me and the rest of the girls and even Eris, who decided to tag along with us, made our way for the train station and bought our tickets to board the train. I just thought how amazing it had been so far just being here, here in Equestria, with all the ponies that I know. The train had just arrived and we boarded it, and got comfortable in our room, specially reserved for a princess and her guests. We then settled in for the night until the whistle of the train let us know we were about to arrive in Ponyville. "'Night girls." I said, nice and comfortable in my bunk and ready to turn in for the night, or at least for a short while. I got another chorus of 'goodnights' and then we all quieted done for the train ride home...my new home. > So Worth It > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- You know that feeling you get when you wake up with a start from a loud noise? Well, I was waiting for the whistle from the train to go off, but I was not ready. If anything I was far from it, I was still sleeping soundly in the bunk when that accursed thing went off as loud a damn bull horn in my ear. The train is now arriving at PONYVILLE, thank you for riding the friendship express! I think the floor likes my face. "Omph!...ugh...oww." The sound of my face colliding with the floor of the room seemed to wake everypony else up...but the loud as hell speaker didn't...go figure. "Mmmmm, what's going on? Why are you on the floor again?" "Oh you know, I just love it down here so much so I decided to stay close to it. What do you think happened?" "Did the loud speaker wake you up?" I was just getting into a cross-legged position when she asked me. "Eyeup. It also made my face hurt." "I noticed, 'cause it's killin' me." I looked up to see Rainbow's face in front of mine, but it was upside down since she was leaning over the bed I was just in and I was looking up. I hatched a devious idea, and at the risk of Rainbow punching me, I did it. "Well I sure walked into that one...oh and one more thing Rainbow." "Hmm?" She said in accordance and then was promptly licked on the tip of her muzzle, making hr face erupt in a massive blush. "W-W-Wha was t-that for!?" She yelled backing off and grabbing her snout. "Ahhhh, dunno, but it was funny watching your reaction." I said with a hearty laugh at the end. "I like this guy." I turned to see Eris looking at me and giving me a thumbs up. "We've gotta go pranking sometime E!" "But of course." "Okay, if we're done messing around with each other let's get ready to get off." Twilight, once again with the anti-fun hammer. No wait, I can turn this around. "But Twilight, we can't do that here, we're in a public place right now, you should know better." I said with mock seriousness on my face. All I have to say is, the look on her face...priceless. I was grinning like a mad man, trying my damnedest not to laugh while I watch the poor mare just get tongue tied from my comment about touching herself in public. It was pretty funny. "Hey, Twi I was just kidding I know what you meant." As I got up from the floor and made my way out the door to wait for the train to come to a stop. Meanwhile I hear Rainbow, Eris and even...Rarity? They were laughin' and gigglin' at the 'uncouth' joke that I made as Rarity most likely would tell me later. I was joined soon afterwards in the main part of the train car, in one of the booths. Rainbow didn't punch me, although her face was still a bit red, but that could just be from laughter. Anyways the train was slowing down now, so any minute we'd be going outside to see Ponyville in all it's town-ish glory...oh so I thought. When the doors opened up, it was raining. Not hard, but it was still raining. "Shit, I forgot that the schedule said it was gonna rain today, ugh, sorry." I just stared out into the rain, unmoving, with my hand on my chin, thinking. "Uhm, ya'll alright there sugar-" She never finished that question, because I ran out of the train full sprint through the rain screaming, "YOLO!!!!" yes I screamed yolo, what of it, big deal. The rain felt awesome against my face as I just ran and ran, and ran some more. When I stopped running I saw that I ended up in front of the Golden Oaks library, and the girls were actually right behind be, somewhat. They looked a little out of breath, but hey so was I. I just ran through the rain for I don't know how long. "Why...did you...run...like...that?" Said a very out of breath Twilight. "Ehh, I dunno, felt like it I guess." "Well now your soaking wet, and I'm right, you have no spare clothes." She pointed her slender little finger at me to drive the point across, and I noticed that they had umbrellas with them. I patted my hands all over my body feeling the same thing everywhere...water. Yup I was wet. Not that kind of wet...sickos. "Ugh, Hey E, little help here?" Eris snapped her fingers and I was instantly dry. "Hey thanks E, I...Eris?" "Yes?" "Where is my underwear?" "I have no idea what your talking about." She had a little halo above her head and was giving me an innocent look, which I knew was total and utter bull. I mean come one, like you wouldn't notice your undies are missing, when you knew you were wearing them no more than 2 seconds ago. "Eris, I'm going to count to three and if I don't have my underwear in hand I'm going to take my pants off." The others had a look look of bewilderment. They were probably thinking that there was no way that I would actually do it. "One." She didn't budge. "Two." I could tell that she was getting a little nervous now because I had my hands on the front of my pants ready to undo the buckle on my belt. "Three." As I started to undo the belt she finally blurted out. "Okay, okay here!" She tossed over my underwear, which was still wet. "Hey E, you mind?" She knew what I meant 'cause they were dry a second later. "Okay, are we gonna go inside? 'Cause I kinda need to put my undies back on." Twilight among the others who had their eyes covered uncovered them and unlocked her door and allowed us in to her home. When I got inside I asked where the bathroom was and went inside to get dressed...again. After I was doing with that I went back outside and sat on the sofa with the rest of the girls. Barb was in the kitchen getting us some drinks; that's one thing that didn't change about her, she still goes into host mode when there's others over. "So," I say, breaking the silence in the room. "what do we do now?" "Well we could always play games." I look to my left to see that it was Barb who just came back out with a bunch of cans of soda and a water bottle for Rarity. "Alright, what'chu got Barb." Her eyes gleamed. "Ohohoho you're gonna love this." She moves over to the cabinet next to the T.V. and opens it. My jaw dropped at the size of the pile of games she had. Racing games, fighting games, heck even some more sci-fi stuff. "Barb, if you aren't careful you might give me a heart attack from the sheer awesomeness that is your game collection. We have to play some games right now." "Heck yeah. let's do this." "Heyheyhey, you guys ain't gonna invite me?" Me ant Barb looked at each other. "Do you wanna join dash?" "Uhhh, duh, that's why I asked." We sat down and turned on her Ponystation3, while they did that I was looking for a good game to play with them. I stopped looked the minute my eyes landed on one specific game. "Hey girls, how 'bout this game?" In my hands I held the equivalent to Outlast. The scariest game I have ever played and watched. Barb and Dash looked extremely nervous about this game it seemed. "Oh come on, I'm terrified of this game and I've played it before. Besides I'll be here with you so it won't be so bad." I couldn't be more wrong. That game was horrifying. Every. Little. Thing made me jump. "Ahhhh! Look out he's behind you!" "No, you moron, he's gonna jump you from the front." "Okay, screw this I'm runnin'...OH DEAR GODDESS NOOOOOO!" I screamed, which made the girls scream and grab onto my arms for dear life as that ugly big dude grabbed me again and ripped my body from my head. "Uhhhhhhhh, no more, no more." "Yeah, I'm done." "Same." We all had a different amount of shakiness in our voices from our last scare. The other girls weren't here anymore, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and Pinkie had left for home already since it was already around one-thirty in the morning and well Fluttershy didn't like those kinds of games. Eris and Twilight were sleeping, but not before putting a sound suppressing spell on their doors. "Ummm girls, you maybe wanna, ya'know, let go now." Both Barb and Dash look to see their arms wrapped around my arms, which were a bit more muscular then I remember now that I think about it. I'll just chalk it up to the whole Pegasus thing. Okay so they notice that they were still holding onto me and quickly pulled away with blushes on their faces. "S-Sorry." "Yeah s-sorry 'bout that." "Haha, it's okay." I wiggled a bit to get comfortable on the sofa and grabbed my can of soda. "Wow, can't believe Dash was grabbing me like that. I kinda liked it...wait where'd that come from? Whatever, never mind." Dash got up rather quick and made for the door, "I-I'm gonna' go home now, b-bye!" and she opened it and closed it pretty quick, but I guessed she wanted to get home quick. "O-kay...bye then. Hey Barb we should probably get to bed...Barb?" I turned to find her asleep already, making those cute little 'chu' noises you'd hear in a cartoon. So I picked her up and took her upstairs to her room, which she shared with Twilight, and the entire time she had her arms wrapped around my neck and she was snuggling into the crook of my neck. I just smiled and chuckled softly so as not to wake her up. I carefully opened the door so as not to wake Twi up either and very slowly made my way to Barb's bed and gently placed her down and walked away...or I would have but now she wouldn't let go of my neck and I swear she tried to kiss me in her sleep. At last, after a minute or so of carefully extracting myself from her grip and sliding a pillow in place of me, I tip-toed my way back out, closing the door and back down to the main room to sleep on the couch. I've always slept better on sofas for some reason. I can't wait for tomorrow and what the day will hold. You know, I think I'm not going to wake up normally ever again. This time I woke up to Eris levitating me and putting me up on top of one of the bookshelves. When I rolled over and fell off, my whole body felt like it was in overdrive. I flipped around so my feet pointed to the floor, I bent my knees to absorb the shock of the impact and I had a hand out to catch myself in case I stumbled, when I landed I landed like a lot of awesome video game characters. With an awesome three-point landing. Did I forget to mention that this all happened in the span of three seconds, because it did. Now thoroughly awake I rose from my crouched position to see the faces of awe on one alicorn, dragon, and draconicus. "Hey what's for breakfast?" I asked as I made my way to the kitchen to see if I could make some pancakes. Their faces still with a look of awe plastered across them. Three words. Best. Morning. Ever. After getting together all the necessary stuff to make pancakes I put some of the ready-to-cook mix into a measuring cup and mixed it up, followed by pouring some chocolate chips into the mix...a lot of them...I like chocolate. With the pan all already heated up and ready for my batter, "Heehee, lol." and poured it into the awaiting pan with a spatula at the ready. In total I think I made about twenty or so, enough for all to have a good amount to eat. With everypony having their share of food on their plates, we went back to the table with our drinks, Twilight and Eris with their coffee and me and Barb with our milk. I let them take the first bites since I already knew to an extent, what they were gonna taste like. Eris was the first to speak up, "These are pretty good, really sweet." the other were next. "Maybe a little less chocolate next time." Forgot that Twilight didn't too much sweets, I'll have to remember that for whenever I make them again. "Ehhh, they're good, not bad Bolt." I just smiled and started eating my own stack. "Mmmmmm, chocolate, man I love chocolate." And it was dark chocolate too so it was good for heart...or some shit like that. Anywho after everyone had their fill, and I mean fill since they were leaning back in their chairs with a look on their faces between slight regret and contentedness. "Everypony full? I can make more if you want?" What I got in return was what I expected. "Uggggh." "Noooo, please, no more." "If I eat anymore 'imma vomit. *burp* 'Scuse me." Haha, amateurs, They only ate like, what, two...two and a half? "Lol." Ahhhh, I guess being a Pegasus just means that I eat more now. Makes sense I guess. I should probably give them time to digest their food for now before we go out anywhere. Speaking of going places, I should go to Rarity's place to get more clothes 'cause I certainly don't want to be wearing the same stuff for more than two days if I can help it. I just decided to go and read some books, because ya'know, library and all that jazz. "Hey actually speaking of music..." I pulled my phone out unlocked it and grabbed my headphones that I deposited at the foot of the sofa, and plugged them in, and let the music flow. I must have been reading for a while 'cause when I felt a tap on my shoulder and looked to see who it was then checked my phone out of impulse. It was ten-thirty five and I was listening to Skrillex's 'Imma try it out', I really like that song. So I turned off the music with the button on the wire and take off my headphone. "What are you reading?" Twilight asked me from over my shoulder. I looked down at the book in my hands and flip it slightly to look at the spine. "It's a book on Pegasi Anatomy." "Oh well okay, that makes sense considering that you're now a Pegasus and just yesterday you were still human." I nodded my head at her. "Yeah, it's really cool, I mean I had no idea there were so many little inner bones and the like in these wings I have." I said as I pointed to my back. "Yeah, it was really awkward for me the first couple of nights after becoming an alicorn. I mean I would wake up with my wings all achey from not sleeping right." "Yeah," I said. "I just slept on my back last night, figured I wouldn't get a wing boner in the morning, but I guess that's a load of bull right?" I saw Twilight's face turn a light red. "Weeeeeell, not exactly. It does happen sometimes, just not every time." "Huh, well that's perfectly normal I guess, I'd be concerned if it didn't happen at all. That just means they're working just fine." Believe me, being a guy I know this. "Yeah I know, it's just, uhhh." "Lemme' guess, Barb saw it happen and laughed at you and you ran into the bathroom only to not come back out until an hour later because they refused to to limp again?" She just blinked at me for a while but then shook her head and responded back finally. "Y-Yeah, but, how did-" "I know, Twilight...I'm a guy, our anatomy has something like that too." I grinned as her face did that 'Oh' face and she got up quickly. "U-Uhhhmmm, yeah, okay, right. So was there any place you wanted to see today?" She blurted out rather quickly. I couldn't resist but to chuckle a bit at that. "Sorry 'bout that Twi, couldn't help myself, but umm, yeah I was hoping we could go to Rarity's for some new clothes 'cause I really don't want to wear the same thing for three days straight or until I get my home." "Okay, we can go there and after, we can go anywhere else you want to go." She said with a smile. I got up off the floor and put the book back, making a mental bookmark of where I was page-wise. "Okay let's get Barb and Eris so they aren't cooped up in here all day. They can come with us right?" "Oh of course they can, I'll go get Barb." "Okay I'll go let Eris know as well." I walked out into the lobby again but didn't find Eris in there anymore. I looked around and around but I couldn't find her. Then I remembered. "Duh she's probably on a little cloud or something." Almost as if the universe wanted to be cruel to me, because when I looked up, there she was, just floatin' on her little cloud of cotton candy. I was just gonna tug her tail a bit to get her attention but I thought, "No I can do way better than that." so I fly up to where her face is and I just stared at her sleeping form. I'm not a creeper mind you, I just thought she looked adorable. So I was just flapping, staying afloat there, watching, waiting for my time to strike, and then she stirred. She must have been disturbed by by breath just barely tickling her nose when she open up her eyes. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" She screamed and tumbled off of her cloud, eyes snapping wide open. I guess she was still a bit in shock since she didn't even try to stop rapid descent, so naturally my chivalrous side emerged and went for the rescue. The look on her face as she was sitting in my arms was totally worth the waiting I did for her to wake up. Her was was one of surprise mixed with shock, could be from the fact that she almost face-planting onto the hard unforgiving floor; believe me it's not fun. As I flap, making our descent nice and slow. I look into her eyes and lean in closer and closer until I'm almost muzzle to muzzle with her. I lean just a little bit closer and then, "Hey, Twilight wants to know if you want to come with us to Rarity's, you in?" That. Fucking. Face...priceless. She started sputtering and flailing which eventually led her to fall out of my arms and onto the floor; good thing she was far enough down instead of up on her cloud when she started doing that. "W-WHA-WHAT ARE YOU D-DOING!? "I was asking you if you wanted to come with us to Rarity's boutique. Why?" "Why? WHY? WHY YOU ASK!? YOU ALMOST KISSED ME, I WAS CONFUSED AS HELL AND YOU ALSO MADE ME FALL OFF MY CLOUD, WHICH MIGHT I ADD I WAS SLEEPING ON! THAT'S WHY!" "Oh, well, do you remember what you did this morning to me?" She was about to say something back to me but then immediately shut her mouth and folded her ears back in remembrance of that morning. "Yes." "Okay, I forgive you, but that was payback, and you know what they say about payback right?" She rolled her eyes but answered anyway. "Yes, I do." "Payback is a bitch...also I think that was one of my friends' dogs name, huh." "You are random, not as random as Pinkie pie, but still random." "Would you have me any other way?" I ask with my arms held out to add a bit of flourish to it. She giggles which is a good sign since that means, she's not embarrassed with my save anymore. "Nope, I wouldn't, I need more ponies like you." "Haha, you sure do E, you sure do." Twilight came with Barb down the stairs ready to go to Rarity's. So I walked over to the door and held it open for them to walk through. "Ladies first." I say with a smile on my face. "Thank you Bolt, such a gentlestallion." I simply chuckled. "Well, mamma' didn't raise an uncivilized child." Though I said it with and almost perfect southern accent like Applejack. Alright girls, lets go shopping!...Wow that felt really weird coming out of my mouth." "Than you shouldn't have put it in your mouth in the first place." I turned my head to look at Eris, much like Stewie Griffon from Family guy does his slow evil head turn, and just stood with my mouth agape, until I spoke that is. "You, little...*sigh* I really walked into that one didn't I?" "Oh yes, and I got you good." Giggled Eris, that little trickster is gonna' get her's soon enough. Heck she even had Twilight laughing, Twilight for Luna's sake! "Yeah, yeah, yeah let's laugh at the stallion that accidentally made a 'dick in mouth' joke. Now come on let's get going! We're burnin' daylight!" With that started my walk for Rarity's place, with three giggling females following behind me. "This...looks..so...cool." "It's just Rarity's house and shop, how is it that cool?" Asked Barb. I mean does she not know how awesome it is to be in a...oh...right, never-mind, I forgot she's used to it and I'm not. "Well, Barb, up until yesterday I was still living on the coastline of a small state, where everything was boring and pretty much nothing changed much in the eight years I lived there, sooooo, yeah. I caught Twilight rolling her eyes at me. "Oh so it's perfectly fine to damn nearly have an orgasm from hearing about all the 'cool' and 'amazing' technology we humans have?" Twilight crossed her arms and pouted at me. Yup still cute and adorable. "That, was different, you know I like to learn about new and exciting things." I chuckled at her but turned and walked up the steps of the boutique and walked up to the door and knocked a couple of times. Figured if I was a friend I should knock if the door is closed. "Come in!" Shouted a 'proper' sounding voice. "Hey Rarity, how are you today?" I asked her as I walked through the door. "Hello darling, how can I help you today?" I walked over to a rack that had some clothes on it. "Well, I was looking for more clothes since I don't exactly have anything else but the clothes I have on now." "Oh well if you wanted clothes, then you came to right place!" She said with a little more spring in her step as she walked over to me. "Well we can find you something on the rack here, or, I can take your measurements and make you somethings more to your exact size." "Hey that actually doesn't sound that bad. Can you take my measurements now?" "Of course darling, now if you come this way I can just..." "Okay, where do I stand." "..." "What? I got something on my face?" "..." "What is it?" "There was a changing screen over there you know." "Ahh, details, details." Absolutely no shame. Oh well I'm not to get nervous when I have to undress in front of others, doesn't really bother me. Heck een when I go to the beach or to a friends pool I was never self-conscious about that sort of thing, and I was a bit more full-er then I am now, but not by that much 'cause I certainly wasn't overweight. "Well, yes, okay I suppose we can just get on with the measurements now. Just come over here and stand perfectly still." "Yes, ma'am." I hoped up onto the little step and stood with my arms to my side, but not rigid. "Thank you darling." "No problem Rares." We stayed silent for a while until Rarity spoke again. "So how has your day been so far dear?" "Oh it was fun, I pranked Eris there, and uhhhh...huh...what else...oh, yeah that's right. I met Vinyl Scratch today on our way over here." "You mean the that DJ mare?" "She's not some "DJ" mare. She is the most amazing pony to ever live in this land, and she brings the WUBS!" She giggled at my antics. "Dang it why most you all sound so adorable when you giggle." "That mare is an interesting one, I'll give her that." "Oh yeah, I think I blew her mind with my headphones earlier." She just stared at me with an eyebrow raised. "Here let me explain." ~Flashback~ "Can't wait to get some new clothes, and from Rarity no less." "Well we just have to cut through the market to-" "NO WAY!" "Ummmm, yes?" "Is...is that...is that Vinyl...and Octavia!?" "Oh...yes I think they are, why-" She never got to finish because before she could I ran over to the two musical mares to say hi. "Vinyl! Octavia!" I shouted, getting their attention. They turned to look at me jogging over to them, and I saw them glance at each other for a bit, probably asking each other if either one knew me. "Hey, sorry about getting your attention like that, I just really wanted to met you two. I figured if I'm going to be living in Ponyville now, I should get to knew the two musicians of the town." "Ohhh, uhmmm, that's uhhh." I noticed Octavia actually take a step back, so I back off a bit. "Huh sorry 'bout that, I just got a bit excited about meeting you." I said while rubbing my neck, and with a light blush on my face for just running up to them like that. " 'Naw It's totally cool bro, Lots of fans come up to me out of nowhere all the time after gigs, no biggie'." "Haha, alright, and uhhh, sorry for startling you Octavia." "Oh who, 'Tavi? 'Naw she's cool, right?" She threw her arm over her shoulder's. "Oh, I suppose so." "Alright, thanks, I would hate for my first impression on you girls to be bad." "Like I said no biggie' bro." She put on a big toothy smile, coupled with her trademarked sunglasses that she's always wearing, it just looked awesome. "Hey, are you gonna be doing a show in Ponyville sometime?" Vinyl put her free hand to her chin in thought. "Ummmm, naw, not anytime soon. Kinda' taking a break at the moment. Why?" "I want to see one of your shows, I've heard they get really epic." "Hell yeah they do, I even had 'Tavi here dancing around to my sweet wubs." Octavia folded her ears back and blushed a liightly. "Viiiiinyl, you said you would tell anypony about that." "Hey come on, if you like it than dance to it, right?" "See 'Tavi this guy gets it...uhhh whats your name by the way?" "Oh crud, my bad," I put my hand out for a fist-bump. " names Soundwave, Cobalt Soundwave." "Sup Bolt, or is it Balt?" "You can call be Bolt, everypony else does." "Alright, sweet." Then I remembered what I wanted to do if I met Vinyl. "Oh!" Vinyl turned around to look at me. "Hmm?" "I almost forgot, here you have to try these." I took my headphones off from around my neck and unplugged them from my phone and passed them to her. "Okay dude." She put them on and plugged them into her Pphone, Pony Phone for those of you who have no idea what that is, and she turned her music on. "It's pretty much the same thing as mine bro, what so special about-" Before she could even finish; Wow I just realized I've been cutting ponies off a lot lately. Still though, I reached over and flipped the switch on the back of the left side. For those of you who know about Skullcandy Crusher's, they have this little switch in the back of the left side of the headphones that, when flipped up all the way, brings out about the most amazing thing in the world. KICK. ASS. BASS! Vinyl's eyes went wide, you could feel the vibration from the massive bass coming out of the headphones. She most have been listening to some pretty good stuff because I thought I saw her shiver a bit from the sheer awesomeness that is my headphones. "Duuuuuuuude, yo quiro." "Haha, yeah, they're awesome aren't they!?" "Hell yeah! Dude, we need to get these out to all dubstep lover's everywhere!" "Way ahead of you V, What say you and I patent these things and have them put out for the public?" Her eyes were sparkling. "Oh, my, gosh, yes!" "Then it's settled, you and me are gonna bring about the most amazing headphones to all of Equestria." ~End of flashback~ "Well, that certainly does sound like an interesting conversation." "Yup." Rarity was busy finished up a new outfit for me as we talked about my little run in with my two favorite musicians. "Alright then dear, here, these should fit you perfectly, and remember, the curtain." I grinned at her and walked over to the changing screen. "Thanks Rarity, your the best." I went behind the screen and unfolded the clothes and found that they were kind of like my other pair that I had except that the shirt didn't have human Vinyl on them. The pants were still cargo pants but the print on them was more green then black and so was the button up shirt. "Gotta say Rare's I'm surprised that you even had a roll of camo. cloth." "Well I have to be able to get the customer what they want, and that means having every kind of fabric, cloth, or pattern they want." "Well you definitely did good work, it's really comfortable, it's not too tight or loose, it's perfect." "Thank you darling, I can always make you some more if you like?" "Yeah, you know I could use more than just 2 pairs of clothes." "Very well than I'll be sure to make you some more than. You can come back in a few days since yours will be the only thing I'm working on, as I have no orders in right now." "Okay, thanks Rares." I made my way for the door with my old clothes in a bag and my new fresh clothes on my body. "Later Rarity." "Bye Rarity." "Goodbye." "See you later Rarity." "Goodbye darlings, I'll see you sometime this week." We walked out the door and back out into the fresh morning air. "Could this day get any better?" > ...Oh Yes It Can > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let me change that. This day just got better, because, around the next corner leading down the market area instead of seeing ponies selling and buying things, I say what looked like a huge gathering of ponies. You might be wondering why they were gathered around in just a tight cluster. Well it was because they were about to hold a competition...in in video games. Lemme tell you, I freaking love video games. Not to the extent that that is all I do but I do love'em, they're art in their own sense. So I fly over the mass of ponies to see, and hear what game it was gonna be that they used in the competition. It's Call of Duty: Ghosts...or at least its equivalent. So I fly over to the table to see if I can still register for it. "Hey, excuse me?" "Hmmm? Yes, can I help you?" "Yes, uhhh, is there still room in the competition?" There is...two spots left. Would you like to sign up?" "Yes please!" I dropped down onto the ground making a dust could form from the impact, and wrote my name down on the list of ponies competing and then I noticed, Barb's name was on there...wait so was Eris's...and Dash's, Vinyl's too? Dang, guess 'imma be playing against my buds today. "Yo, Bolt!" I heard my name being called so I spun around to see non other than the mare's, dragon and Draconicus I'd be going up against today. "Yo! sup girls! You in this too 'cause I saw your names here?" Vinyl walked up and fist-bumped me. "You know it, you in on this too?" "You know it." I say, putting my hands behind my head and grinning. "Sweet I hear the winner get 10,000 bits for first place and second place get 1,000 bits and third place gets 500." I swear my eyes must have bugged out of my head because I could've sworn that she had just said the winner gets ten grand. "Did you say...10,000 bits?" "Yup." My eyes narrowed, by brows furrowed, my hands clenched and unclenched. "You girls are going down." My grin was almost maniac in proportions. "Bring it!" they responded in a chorus of voices. ATTENTION EVERYPONY, THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL PARTICIPATING PLEASE COME INSIDE THE BUILDING NOW, THANK YOU The loud speaker had caught our attention. "May the best pony, dragon, or draconicus, win." We shook hands and nodded our heads at each other. We weren't friends for the time being, we were rivals. It had been about, oh I don't really know how long ago since we started this thing. It was just me, Barb, Eris, Dash, Vinyl, and a little brown colt who I didn't know. At the moment we were all caught in the most epic battles right now; we were racing first place on the leader boards and we were very close, score-wise. My hands were sweaty and my brow was furrowed in concentration; I would win this, there's no way I would lose. I hear somepony yell but I didn't know what. Alright, two more kills to go, I can do this, I can do this. Another shout, another pony less. Now just one more kill, one more kill to end this all and win that prize money. "Eat shotgun rain sucka!" I heard Barb shout out form her spot in this place. Two words...Bad. Move. What happened next had to have been the most epic thing I have ever done. At the precise moment that she shot at me, I ducked, pressed the button to let loose my throwing knife, and I watched that baby fly, right into the face of it's intended target. Chackmate...I win. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW-YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH! I WOOOOOOOOOOON! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was a little excited...okay so maybe it was more than a little, but hey can you blame me, I just won a butt-ton'a money and, in-front of so many screaming ponies cheering us both on. It was the most amazing adrenaline rush I ever had while playing this particular game. "We have a winner!" yelled the announcer...wait was that Luna or am I-. "Come over to the podium sir!" I made my way over to the front and, yup I was right, I did hear Luna, because she was the one who had organized this whole thing. "Hello and who are you...Cobalt? Is that you, you entered as well?" "And won too." I said with a big grin on my face. "It would seem so, so you win the 10,000 bit prize money, plus, you get a Pstation4 with a copy of 'Ponies of Duty: Phantoms', four controllers, one for each of you friends, and you also get a special, limited edition, P.O.D. shirt." "Sweet, nice. Yup it's official, best, day, ever." As I walked outside the storefront with my new game system, and check in pocket, I met up with my friends who had entered with me. They all had huge grins on their faces. "Dude! Where the hell did you learn how to play like that? You were just decimating ponies left and right from the start." "Would you believe me if I told you that I was any good at the earlier titles in the franchise?" Barb looked at me like I was insane. "Shut the hell up, no way." "Oh yes way, that is the only game from them that I can actually kick some flank in." And I wasn't boasting neither, I legitimately kick serious butt in that game, and now I have my own copy. Yup I'm a happy ma-er, stallion now. "Alright 'imma go drop off my new console back at Twilight's and then I'm going to the bank to deposit my money." "Dang dude you really whipped up good, heck, there was even this one mare that fell out of her sit 'cause you scared the shit out of her." said Vinyl. "Oh yeah I remember that, haha it was kinda funny. though I'm glad she didn't actually get hurt." " 'Naw just butt-hurt, in more ways than one." That got everypony laughing. "Haha, yeah oh man that was epic dude, eve I could get you, the most I got you was a failing sniping attempt but hey, you know me, I prefer to get up close and personal." Dash did a couple of jabs in the air like she was boxing. "Yeah well, getting up close and personal ended up having my blade up your butt more than once Dash." Barb and Vinyl giggled while dash narrowed her eyes in mock seriousness. "Yeah well that's as close to my butt as you'll get buddy." She said, hands on her hips. "Oh you, don't you remember last night, you know what I'm talkin' 'bout." Both Barb and Dash blush at the thought while Vinyl and Eris look at them with their brows raised. Eris leaned between their heads. "So what happened last night you two?" Dash spun around, her blush even redder now, her ears splayed back against her head. "N-Nothing, nothing happened, nothing at all. we were just playing a scary game and-" "You two clung onto my arms in fright, it was funny actually." Rainbow turned and gave me a death glare. "You're so lucky that I have a lot of respect for you beating us in that competition right now or I would kick your flank seven way to next Tuesday." I just shrugged my shoulders and walked on past them. "Alright I'm gonna go ahead and do what I gotta do then." I raised my free hand to say goodbye and left. ~Vinyl P.O.V.~ "You like him don't you Dash?" Dash went Rigid and her wings were twitching, yup she totally likes him. "Ummmm, uhhhh, hehe, what makes you think that?" She swallowed hard and was wringing her hands.Yeah she's got it bad alright. "Well it's just that you were very quick to try and hide the fact that you clung on to him for comfort when you got your tail scared off, plus," I walked closer to her. "you got it bad filly." Rainbow finally gave up. "ARGH! Why did I have to fall for him, I barely know him more than two days, two fricken days, and I already like him. Awwwww man, this sucks." Yeash, she really likes this guy, if she's gonna be all mopey like this. "Okay, I got a plan for ya' Dash." She looked up from her crouched position on the ground. "Huh?" "You are gonna go to him a week tops and you are going to ask him out." Rainbow's eyes bugged out. "I-I-I, I can't I'm too nervous, haven't felt like this since the best young fliers competition. My stomach is doing back flips right now and it's difficult as all hell to even keep cool around him. What you saw was just a face, a mask, if I tried to talk to him regularly I'm pretty sure I would just freak." "Well filly we are going to help you. In a week you'll be ready to ask him out and I'm sure he'll say yes." "There's no way I'm getting out of this, is there?" Me and the rest of the girls replied back. "Nope!" "*sigh* Okay...you win, let's just, WOAH!" "Atta'girl, now come one let's go eat, I'm starving, and that gaming sesh. left me hungrier than Shy's bear." All four girls left for lunch, with one of them reluctantly so, but nonetheless the went to eat. ~Back to my P.O.V.~ "Huh that was easy, I deposited my check and they let me open a debit card, sweet, now, what to do first?" Apparently depositing money was even less of a hassle here than it was back on earth. *Grrrrrrr* "Okay, food is definitely on the agenda, wait when was the last time I ate?...I think it was breakfast, that was about...hmmm...say five hours ago, if my phone is right." With Food on my mind I began looking for the nearest place to get some food. I found the most amazing thing, I thought I was gonna cry. Standing in front of me was a bloody Burger King, though it wasn't called that. Guess what it was called...no, no I'll you a few more seconds to guess it...still don't know, well it was called Burger Princess, go figure right. So after I finished staring at the beauty that was the Equestrian equivalent to Burger King, I decided to walk in and get me some food, because why not, I love this places' onion rings. When I walked in, I smelled the air, "Yup, just like I remember it." I walked up to the counter and was greeted by a younger pony mare probably around fifteen or sixteen if I had to guess. "Hello, may I take your order?" "Yup, lemme' have a number one, no cheese, and instead of hay-frie's can I get onion rings instead?" "Sure." "Okay and I'll have a...hmm...what drink do you recommend?" "Ohhh, I'd go with a sparkle cola, it's pretty good." What...sparkle cola...only one thing to say to that. "Edward better not be in my drink." "Okay, I'll have a medium sparkle cola, oh and the onion rings are a medium as well." "Okay sir that will be 9 bits." I hand her my de-bit card and she swipes it through the reader, then hands it back to me. "Here you go, your order will be ready shortly, and have a nice day." "You too miss." flashing her my trademarked grin as i made my way to the other side of the counter to wait for my food. After another 3 minutes I was walking out with my bag of food and on my way back to Twilight's place. I was set on setting playing some more P.O.D. when I got back, and eating my food. Mmmmmm, delicious onion rings, did I mention that I like onion rings. So anyway I was just getting back home when I ran into Twilight. "Oh, hello Soudwave." "Oh, hey Twi, how'ya been?" "Oh I've been good, What happened earlier when we left Rarity's? You, Eris and Barb just vanished and you left me all alone." She said with a pout. "Damn it Twilight, stop being adorable." "Heehee sorry 'bout that, I just saw a big gathering of ponies and I wanted to know what it was, so I flew over and found out it was a gaming competition being set up in the market area." "Oh that, yeah Barb told me about that. Sounds like a waste of time if you ask me." "Oh you wouldn't be saying that if you knew what I won." "Lemme' guess, you won a life time subscription for Marebox one?" "Nope, I won 10,000 bits, plus a new gaming system." I said with a huge grin on my face. Twilight's face reminded me of something like Tom the cat from 'Tom & Jerry' where he has his mouth just agape in surprise. "Y-Y-You won t-t-t-ten t-thousand bits!? From playing video games!?" "Haha, yup, video games ain't lookin' useless now huh princess.?" "I just...I can't even...you know what I'm not even gonna." As we both walk into the library I remember something. "Oh yeah, Luna was hosting the event too." "What? Really? Well I guess that makes sense, she does love to game, so it wouldn't really surprise me." "Haha, yeah, true dat'. Okay I'm going to eat now I'll be here if you need me." I sat down on the sofa and opened my bag to eat my food, but before I could Twilight was hovering over my shoulder. "Can I help you miss?" I asked her sarcastically. "Ummmm, could I get an onion ring...please?" "Well when you ask me with a cute face like that, how can I say no?" "Yeah sure, here you go." I pass her a couple of them, which she devours quickly. I just stare at her as she lightly moans from the flavor I'll bet. "Enjoying those?" Twilight quickly remembers she wasn't alone and splays her ears back and looks at me with a small blush. "Heehee, sorry. I just really like their food." "Alright," I take out the container that has the onion rings in them. "here we can share, there's plenty for the both of us, and besides I have a hayburger too so, it's all good." She let out a cute little 'yay' and hopped up onto the sofa beside me, happily munching on her share of onion rings while I ate my burger and played one of my favorite games; that game was Portal 2. The name didn't change but I didn't really know what it would be changed to since it didn't have anything to change it to with a pony-fied version of it. "So what's the point of this game?" Asked an interested Twilight. I had food in my mouth so I had to chew and swallow first. "Well, it's mostly a puzzle game, you know hitting a switch with a ball or holding down a button with cube so you can advance in the chamber and continue." That seemed to get her attention, considering she likes these kinds of things. "That, actually sounds like fun, can two ponies play this?" "Of course! You wanna play?" "Mmmhmm." She said while nodding her head. I walked over to the cabinet and grabbed another controller and walked back plopping it onto her lap. I quit from my current game, or more like Barbs game, and select co-op mode which takes Twilight a while to grasp but she quickly gets used to it. "Hey you're pretty good at this." "Oh well, it is puzzle solving and you me and these kinds of things." "Eeyup, I sure do." Twilight and I stayed playing Portal until Barb came in around two-thirty in the afternoon. She saw me and Twilight just playing on the sofa and was surprised by the fact that I had gotten her to play a video game at all. "Yeah when I told her it was more puzzle based, she asked if she could play." "Wow, she's never wanted to play something with me before." "Eeeeehh, I'm just that likeable I guess." So we played for the rest of the evening, doing puzzles and just acting like a general twit, but hey it was fun. The rest of the night was pretty uneventful, so when it was time for dinner we just ate and got ready for bed. I was tired from all the gaming I did today so getting some shut-eye was a must right now. About a week had passed since that day, soooo like...six days I want to say. Anyway, I finally got my new home and it looks awesome. The inside was amazing too, it was really spacious. The living room was decently big, I'd say it could hold probably about seven or so ponies. The bedroom, or should I say bedrooms are pretty huge too and there's four of them too, plenty of room for a queen, or princess size bed as they are called as such here, and whatever else you want to put in your room. There are two full bath's upstairs and another on downstairs, although this one is a half-bath. You should see the kitchen, it looks looks like something out of one of those commercials that tell you that you can improve your kitchen with only a little bit of money, real fancy. Heck I even have a room where I can finally put a mic stand, Computer and recording equipment. Yes, they have youtube here, except it ain't called that, they call it ponytube, I know another pony pun but oh well, it's same thing to me whatever you call it. So anyway I'm sitting at home on my sofa watching some cartoon that was on, when I heard the doorbell. Ding Dong I turned off the television and walked over to the door and opened. Behind it was Ditzy, the town's mailmare. Now I know what most of you are thinking and the answer is no, she isn't retarded and/or overly clumsy. She is clumsy to an extent but not to that degree, also her eyes aren't that cross-eyed as the show had made them, but it adds to the clumsy mare's charm. "Good morning, I have your mail!" She called out in a cheerful tone. "God I love her voice, It's like that one video that was on youtube where she tries to tell the Doctor she loves him. Yeah that kind of voice." "Thanks, ditzy, hey you up for some gaming later?" "Yup I just have to finish up my route and I can come right over!" "Okay sounds cool, I'll cya' then." "Bye Cobalt!" "Bye Ditz." And with that she was off to deliver the rest of her mail. With my mail in hand I made my way to the kitchen and I started filing the the mail I had. "Thank you letter, oh yeah that's right I helped a poor mare out the other day with a heavy box and then promptly left before she could thank me, granted I was a bit in a hurry that day. let's see...uhhhh...'nother letter, it's from Luna this time, asking me how I like my game system. "Just fine, thanks Luna." I say out loud. Okay what else I got in here...a letter from Celestia? Huh let's see what it says.........what? She's...she's bringing some of my friends who want to see Equestria too!? "THIS IS AWESOME!" After reading that letter I quickly run upstairs and shower, get dressed, and left for the train station. ~2 hours later~ Well that was a very interesting train ride. I met the most interesting griffon and azure unicorn...yup, it was Blackwing and Blue Haze...not buyin' it...didn't think so. It was Gilda and Trixie. They were on their way to Canterlot because they heard that they just started selling the next best gaming computer and they wanted to get it before it was sold out for another two weeks. "Cool, where's the store that sell's them?" I asked them as the train was pulling into Canterlot station. Gilda thinks for a minute. "Ummm, I think the advertisement said it was at Gametrot." Why am not surprised. "Okay, where is it at?" Both Trixie and Gilda look at each other before answering. "Well we don't exactly know the name of the street, but we know how to get there." Said Trixie. "Alright, I got time before I need to get to my appointment." "Awesome dude." When we got off the train I followed them to the store, talking and asking them what kinds of games they liked playing. Gilda's response was the P.O.D. series, somehow that didn't surprise me, and Trixie's was RPG's, and I could totally see that. "Hmm, maybe I should get Twilight into RPG's, haha she'd never want to leave home; those games are amazing." When we finally got to the store, i couldn't help but run inside and look at the shelves full of games. I was looking at a particular game on the shelf, it was Payday 2, and just like Portal 2, the name didn't change. As I was walking to the counter I over heard Gilda and Trixie, they sounded a bit distraught. "Damn it, I'm short 100 bits." "Yes, and I'm short 75." I decided to jump in. "Uhhh you ladies need help?" "Oh, no I," Trixie looked over at Gilda and she was giving her a look that said "Just ask him." or something like that. "actually yes, we do need a bit of help." Gilda continued for her. "Ya'see we're short a few bits and we can't get the computers we want." "Oh is that all, step aside I got this." I walked up to the counter and got the stallion the was behind its' attention. "Excuse me." "Hmm, oh hello how can I help you?" "Hey, I wanted to buy this game and I was also wondering if you had anymore of those sick gaming laptops left?" "Oh ho we sure do, we got three left!" He said rather cheerful that he might make another sale for those beautys. "Great, I'll take the game and the last three laptops for me and my friends here!" I put my biggest grin and turned around to see them with their mouths hanging open, surprised that I'd just buy them their things, even though I had just met them. "Hold up man, you don't have to-" I cut her off, "Nonesense, I insist, and I ain't taking no for an answer, capice?" I turned back around and saw the stunned face of the employee. I cleared my throat to get his attention and also break him out of his stupor, which seemed to do the trick. "So, can I buy them ooorrr?" He shook his head and recomposed himself. "Uhhh, ummm, y-yeah, that will be 1,550 bits sir." "Here you go," I gave him my de-bit card for him to swipe in the machine. "There you go, you're all set, lemme' just get you your things from the back room and I'll be right back." "alright man take your time!" I shouted back to him as he disappeared behind the backroom door. I turned to see two beaming females, which them promptly hug tackled me, saying over and over again. "Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you!" I chuckled at the fact that I was being hugged by both Gilda and Trixie. "Haha, hey I said it was no big deal right? Besides, how were we going to keep in touch afterwards?" "Oh well, you said that you Lived in Ponyville correct?" Asked Trixie. "Yeah?" "Well we were moving there, from Manehatten. Gilda and I just couldn't stand it anymore, living there." "Ugh, yeah, you would not believe the crazy amount of rent you had to pay, plus everypony there was a total butt-head." I chuckled at Gilda's opinion of the big city, and she not that far off from my version back home. Nobody ever really gave a flying fuck about anyone but themselves. You were lucky if you met a genuinely nice person to talk to. "Well, that's why I don't live there in the first place." Trixie was going to say something when the stallion came back with our computer's, clearly having a bit of a tough time holding them all, so I went over and gave him a helping hand. "Here I got'em for ya' " "Gee thank man I'm no Big Mac, I hear the guy can buck a tree so hard it leaves his hoofmarks on it." "Yeah your not far off from that, he bucked one so hard he splintered the side of it." He whistled out that sound that you make when you want to say "Dang". "Jeez man, that's strong." "Eeyup, haha, anyway thanks for the help man." "Yeah no problem, enjoy your game and computers and come back soon!" "I'll try!" When we made out the door I felt the lips and beck of the two mares on both my cheeks. "Thanks for getting us those computers." Trixie said with a light blush on her face. "Y-Yeah, thanks dude." Gilda had an equally sized blush showing through her feathers on her face. I rubbed the back of my neck with a small blush of my own. "Hey, yeah no prob' girls. Oh hey do you want to come and meet my friends? It's almost mid-day so they should be almost here." They look at each other before both answering. "Sure!" "Alright, lets go then!" With our laptop boxes, and game, in hand we made our way for the castle. But they didn't know that yet. ~30 minutes later~ After explaining to my two new friends that my 'other' friends would be arriving here, she just shrugged and kept on walking beside me. We had also stopped by another store with more computers in it, and I bought three more, less expensive ones, for my friends for when they show up. you know give them little gift and what not. When we got to the front gates the guards stopped us. "HALT! What is your business at the castle citizen?" Producing the letter from Celestia, I showed them. "I had a meeting with the Princess today at mid-day, she sent me a letter, here take a look." "No, need citizen, I can see the royal seal on it, you may proceed." The guards moved to the side and used their magic to move the gate open for us. We walked past them, hearing them close it behind us, and made our way up the path and up the steps to the great big door that I had walked through already, "Man has it really been a week since I was last here?" I asked myself. As we walked through the doors, graciously opened by a couple of more unicorn guards, we walked up the carpet and to the throne where Celestia sat. "Hello Cobalt, I've been expecting you." "Oh man Celestia, if you had a spinny chair and a white cat on your lap as you pet it slowly, you'd have looked like something out of a 007 movie." "I haven't a clue what it is your talking about, so I'll assume that it's from your home. Now then Shall I send for your friends now?" "Yes, go ahead...oh wait, hold on a sec, can you put down something soft for them. I'd hate for them to get hurt when they arrive." Gilda and Trixie glanced at each other, but I didn't see them. "Of course my little pony. give me but a moment." She lit up her horn and then in the next instant there was a pop sound an on the floor in-front of the throne was a lot of padding, then with her horn still lit she sent the messages to my friends back home. I was feeling really excited, my friends were gonna come here to Equestria. After what felt like a good five minutes I heard a kind of crackling noise coming from the air, it started to intensify with every second that passed. "Is the princess bringing them from far away?" Asked Trixie. Once again I chuckled and grinned at her. "Yeeeeaaaaah, you could say that." I turned back around in time to catch the sight of my two friends Jaye and Dustin falling out of a respective holes in the air and landing on the padding with 'thud' and an 'omph' from each of them. "Ugh, what...the...what happened...that last thing I did was reply to a prank e-mail and then...I got nothing." "Well I do." i say getting both their attentions. "Woah! Dude...wait a minute Joe that you?" "Well you can call me by my middle name, or you can call me Cobalt Soundwave if you want." "Wait so, what, are we really in-" "Yessir, you are no in the beautiful and sunny kingdom of Equestria you two." Jaye hopped up and looked around at everything I the room. "This...is so...cool!" She squealed. "Yeah this place is awesome," Then he looked down and did a double-take. "Woah, I'm a pony!" Then Jaye looked down too. "Hey so am I, and I'm my OC too...*gasp* which means I'm a unicorn too! Oh oh can I levitate stuff?" The concentrated on a random plate in the room and then it proceeded to float over to her. "Woah!" Her sudden outburst broke her concentration, sending the plate plummeting to the floor, but it never shattered because Celestia caught at the last minute. "That's so cool." "Hey what kind am I man?" "Your a unicorn too and your cutiemark is a sub woofer, oh ya if I remember correctly your OC's name was Subsonic Bass." He tried to find it but I told him it was on his neck. "Cool, yeah I figured it would have something to do with music." "Yeah and you cutiemark is a musical note with a little paint swirl around it." Jaye sort of half fist-pumped and jumped a little. "Woo-hoo!" At that moment I remembered the gifts I had. "Oh yeah I got you guys something, you know, sort of like a welcoming present." I handed them the boxes containing each of their computers. "Dude, sweet. High-five!" As Jaye picked up her computer I suddenly realized we were short a zebra. "Hey where's-" I was cut off by a crackling noise and a muffled yelling followed by a zebra landing directly into Celestia's lap, making them both let out an 'omph'. In Celestia's lap sat my buddy Dragonpony, I never did learn his real name but, aaahh, it's fine. His OC's name is Draco Meteor and his cutiemark looked like a giant smile, must be for the fact that he's a smooth talker. "Ow, that is the last time I mix red bull and monster to stay up all night long to finish a project." Then he looked around and saw the wall, the tapestries and lastly, us. I could see the gears turning in his head, putting it all together. "Okay, I get it now. I'm in Equestria," He looked down at his hands. "and I've been pony-fied, or zebra-fied...neat." "Can you get off of me my little pony?" Celestia asked him. I saw him grin. "I very well could, but leaving the embrace of such a beautiful and stunning mare seems like a shame." He flashed her a toothy grin, which caused her to blush, but it quickly evaporated and her got the hint and hopped out of her lap. "Yo, Draco wassup my friend!?" He turned to see who had called him by his ponysona's name and freaked. "Holy hell man, what the hell are you doing here?" "Well I live here now, been for about a week already." "Nice, hey what that?" He noticed the slender box in my grip. "This my good zebra, is your new computer. complements of me. Thinks of it as a 'welcome to Equestria' gift, the others got one too." He looks confused for a second. "Others?" "Yup, Dustin, and Jaye are here too. They're right there." They waved him over and made my way over to them as well. "Hey girls, so these are my friends I was talking about. They came from way back home, here I'll explain 'cause I know you want to know." Gilda and Trixie nodded their heads. "Okay so here goes, I came from a planet called earth..." ~10 minutes later~ "Okay, I think I get it now." "Yeah, you guys came from an awesome place." It took me a while to explain everything to them but they seem to get it now. "Yeah, but not as awesome as this place, oh! I completely forgot, Subsonic, Misty, Draco, I'm sure you already know, but these two are Gilda and Trixie." "Sup." "Hello." "What up girls." They nodded back. "Hello." "Sup." I grabbed my computer box and bag containing my game and gestured for them to follow. "Hey guys let's go so we can catch the train at one o'clock." The others turned and and waved or bowed goodbye to Celestia before leaving he room. "Hey you guys go on ahead, I gotta ask Celestia something." "Okay we'll me waiting outside for'ya." ~Draco's P.O.V.~ I walked back to that solar beauty intent talking to her. "Excuse me Princess." I got her attention as she was about to sit back down in her throne. "Oh! Draco Meteor I presume? What is it you need, I thought you were going with your friends to Ponyville. You don't want t ogo back, do you?" I closed my eyes and chuckled. I raised my hand and lowered it quickly, showing that that wasn't my intent on coming back to see her. "Oh, so what is it you need?" "Well, I would very much like to take you out one evening." She clearly thought it was a joke until I got closer to her, close enough that she could feel my body close enough that she could feel my heat. I pulled her into a sort-of half hug and I leaned in closer to her ear so that my muzzle was almost touching it. "It's just, your a ruler and a princess of this land, and must have many stallions trying to seduce you for one reason or another, but I'm interested in the mare behind the crown and the mask. I want to know what makes you smile, laugh, what puts a smile on your beautiful face," My muzzle close enough that she can feel my breath on her ear with each word. "and an evening with me will leave you feel like a giddy innocent school filly, all, over. again." Before I bask away, I nibble on her ear lightly, making her let out a cute little gasp ans shiver. "I'll see you around Princess!" I called out as I walked back out the door to the courtyard, leaving a heavily blushing Celestia to stumble back to her throne, very flustered. ~Back to me again~ "Hey dude come on, hustle, we're gonna miss the train back home. What did you have to ask her anyway?" He grinned at me. "Oh nothing too important, just how she got us here and all." "I raised an eyebrow at him but just ignored it. "Alright guys come on let's go home." This day has been pretty good so far. I got my friends from back home, plus two new friends, not to mention they're Gilda and Trixie. Yeah I think it's safe to say that today really has been all in all, very good. now we just had to get on our train and head home, maybe even go grab a bite to eat with all my friends. We'll see though, first tough, we gotta' get to the train before it gets here and leaves. > There's More Of'ya? > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The train ride back was filled with the sounds of my friends talking and laughing, but that was a given since every time we talked through video chat it would involve funny gifs. or pictures that made us laugh. So we talked and laughed at some of the things that had happened the week before they showed up here. "Okay so you won a gaming competition, and you got 10,000 bits from it, and on top of that you got a brand new game system along with it?" "Eeyup." I nodded my head at Sub's. "Dang dude, that was lucky." "Yeeeeeaaah, I didn't really try at the end, since Barb shot at me with a shotgun, a shotgun, I should have died but instead I crouched and panic threw my knife at her guy, nailing 'em right in the face...just don't tell Barb that." "Haha, so I guess you aren't as good as you say you are." Said a certain smug zebra from the seat behind Misty, and Subs. "Hahaha, yuk it up mohawk, I still got 10 grand for playing a video game." I finished with a grin while leaning back in my chair. "Well you sound like you certainly made out very well from that" Trixie said. "Yeah, if you had gone up against me you would have lost, Griffon Kingdoms' is known as the warrior country for a reason." "Yeah, your probably right Gild's, you most likely would have just steam-rolled me from the start if what you say is true, and I believe ya'." "You better believe it Bolty." "I can already tell that we're gonna be great gaming buddies." I turned my attention back to my newly turned pony friends and saw Draco staring at a mare across from him, Misty was one her computer probably checking it out, and Subs was just chilling out listening to some music. If I had to guess, it's 'I See Stars'. It's a good band, I have a couple of their albums because of him. I was about to grab my phone when I realized, "Wait, where are they going to sleep tonight? Hmmmm, oh, duh! I got plenty of rooms in my house, courtesy of good ol' Princess Tia." I figured that I should ask them anyway, unless they want to stay with somepony else. "Hey guys," They all looked away from what they were doing, except Subs, Misty had to pat him on the shoulder to get his attention. "I just realized that you don't have anywhere to stay, and was wondering if you'd like to stay with me at my house?" "You got room man?" Draco decided to ask for all of them. "Yeah, if four rooms aren't enough, than we need bigger house," "Daaaaaaamn bro, you living good up in here." "Hey being friends with the rulers of the country can have it's perks, but that doesn't mean that I'll take advantage of them either." "True, true. I turn my attention back to the other two sitting beside me. They both have their brows raised. "You got a freaking mansion! I thought about it for a second, "Yeah, I do." "Yeah I do! You know what, I never really thought about it since I just never really cared for the whole rich per-er, ponies kind of house." "You two can come on over after lunch if you want to see it. Not really a big deal to me, never really understood the appeal of having so many rooms that you forget which one is for which." "Alright dude, can't wait to see the inside of this place of yours, we're just used to out dinky little apartment." "Well then, my place will be a system shock to ya'." *Grrrrrrrr* Draco chuckled. "Sorry, I'm a bit hungry here, what do they got here for fast food places?" "Well so far I saw they had a Burger Princess, you know, Burger king." "Cool, we should go there." "Alright, I already ate there yesterday but I guess that's okay." "I'll just stay away from there for a while afterwards." After we got off the train we really high-tailed it, "Get it high-tailed it, cause we're ponies...and we...have...ahhhh screw you guys, you're no fun." to the Burger Princess and I think that by far that was the most expensive order of food I will probably ever pay for at a fast food restaurant. I think the order came out to about over a hundred bits. The look on that mare's face, which was the same one from yesterday, was just full of 'what' since I just came in yesterday for a burger, and now here I was again getting a hundred bit order. "Hahaha, did you see the look on that mare's face, priceless ay' Bolt." "Yeah Space man." Draco chuckles at the his nickname. "Pfft, Space man?" "Yeah 'cause meteor's come from space." "HAHA! alright then. Whatever you say man." "I do say so, ese." Gilda 'snrks' at my saying. "What are you from Mexicolt?" "No, but I'm Hayspanic, I think that's how you say it here right?" "Yes that's right." "Trixie, you just saved me from looking dumb." "Alright, thanks...What?" "I didn't know you were Hayspanic?" Gilda half-asked, half-stated. "Well before I ended up here I was, so it only seems right that I'd keep that coming here, si?" "Yeah, I guess so." Draco started, "Okay I'm hungry you guys, lets get...to...dude?" and then stopped walking entirely. "Yeah, bro?" Everypony stood in awe, and just stared ahead. What lay before them was my house, graciously built by Ponyville's construction service and commissioned by the princesses. To them it looked, as Draco kindly stated "Massive bro". "Dude, this is all yours!?" Gilda asked. "It was, now it belongs to me and my friends." "Dang dude, nice." "Yeah, I was expecting something a lot smaller when-" "Howdy Sugarcube, what'cha doin' partner, and who're yur' friends? Oh and Hey Trixie, Gilda." I turned and saw the rest of the gang standing behind us "Woah! I knew the Princesses had a house built for you but, geez man this sucker's huge!" That's Barb, ever observant. "Yup, oh and these," I walked over to my newly arrived friends. "are my friends from earth." I said throwing my arms around Misty and Subsonic, with Draco appearing just above my right shoulder. "Sup, girls!" "Hello." "What's up." Most of the girls greeted them, leaving only Twilight, Applejack and Rainbow Dash wondering where these other pony's came from. Applejack asked the question I'm sure they were all thinking. "Wait, so there's more of'ya?" Twilight facepalmed. "I would have asked differently but, yes, When did they get here?" "Well I actually got a letter from Celestia in the mail, asking me to come to the castle today, that my other friends were also in the same boat as me." "Wait you were on a boat when you came here?" Ohhhh Rainbow. Twilight beat me to it. "No Dash, I think what he meant by that was that his friends also wanted to come here." "Oh...I knew that." Dash said with a light blush and a sheepish smile. "Well, we were just about to go inside, you girls wanna come in?" Rainbow flew right up to my face. "Heck yeah!...uhhh, I mean, yeah sure." I chuckled at her complete 180 of her demeanor. "Well alright then, let's go in." I unlock my door and walk in. "Welcome to the house of entertainers...and one zebra." "Heeeeeey." "I'm just messing with yeah...you entertain in a different way." Draco plopped down on the sofa and put his hand behind his head. "Haha, you know it." "Ahhhhh shut up mohawk." He just rolled his eyes at another ridiculous nickname. After everypony got situated in the room, which for that to happen I had to pull the chairs from the kitchen to do so, we talked for a while about where my friends came from, their hobbies and such. "So you draw?" "Mmmhmm." Responded Jaye, well Misty Inks now, man it's gonna feel weird calling them by their OC's names for a while. "Do you think I could ask for your help in drawing designs for some dress ideas at my shop?" "Ohhh, uhhh, well I'm not sure how well I'll do, but, I can give it a shot." "Wonderful darling." I just had to ask the question that both me and most likely Subs was thinking. "So is it just me or does Misty and Rarity here sound like it's one pony talking?" My buddy Dustin just looks at me. " 'Cause of the accent right? Oh Jaye say salsa!" "She just shook her head and laughed but still complied. "Salsa." "YEAH!" We both cheered and high-fived, leaving the other to look at us like we grew two heads. "You two are something else." Said Trixie. "Well they do sound similar, *gasp* maybe they're long lost sisters and they just found each other!" Good ol' Pinkie, was kinda wondering when an outburst was going to happen. "Or they jus' have the same accent Pinkie Pie." There's AJ with the rebuttal. "ORRRRR, maybe-" Time to be stupid, brain shutting off, in five, four, three, two, one, channeling Patrick Star. "Or maybe, they are both the same pony-slash-person, and they just met each other in this world, and they just need to reunite and become one again." Ahhhh, thank you Patrick Star for that moment of stupidity, you were always the favorite in that show. "WHAT!?" Yup, just as I thought everypony looked at me like I just lost my mind, the exception of Draco, Misty and Subsonic. "What? If Pinkie can do it, then why not me?" "Because silly billy, there's a method to my craziness." "Ummm, ouch...I just got told by Pinkie Pie...LIFE COMPLETE!" "Umm, okay then, does anypony want anything to drink? 'Cause if not I'm going to get an ice pack for my burn." "Yeah man she got you good." "I can't even argue with that Subs. I really can't." Chuckling as I went into the kitchen and bringing out two 12 packs of Mtn Dew: Baja blast, which is the best drink that man as ever created, and the other cherry Pepsi, also good, but it can't beat Mtn Dew. "What's this?" "Well I had Eris magic up some of my worlds' sodas. Lemme' know what you think." Everypony had a bit of a struggle with the tabs on the tops of the cans, with the exception of me, my friends and Gilda, who just stabbed her claw into the can opening it up instantly. "Damn that's...handy...no? Nothing...huh, tough crowd." Everypony just looked at me with varying face of 'that was bad' written all of them. "Yeah it's handy, I never have to look for a letter opener either." I nod my head in response and then hear Rainbow exclaim. "This is pretty good!" "Well, it is Mtn Dew, so of course it's good, every flavor is good." "You said that Eris brought these here?" Twilight asked. "Yeeeeaaaaahhh." "Well, how did she pay for them? I'm sure they're not free." "No, yeah of course, I gave her 2 bits to leave behind for them and a note." "What? only two bits? That can't possibly be enough for these." "Well gold isn't used for money over there, and it's also a very rare metal so it's very expensive as well." "Twilight, he's right," A new voice sounded out throughout the room and then a second later Eris popped up sitting on her lap. "you should have seen the looks on their faces when they found those two gold pieces for the cases we, ummm, borrowed." Eris, how many did you take?" Twilight put on her best reprimanding face on. Eris seemed to shrink back a bit. "Ummmm...five?" "Eris, for real this time, how many?" She was crossing her arms now. "IIIII may have taken the whole pallet of different sodas." I was drinking my soda when she said that and of course I spit my drink out upon hearing this. "WHAT!? Where did you put them all?" "Downstairs in the your basement." "Oh yeah, I forgot about the basement, I had the Princesses' have the construction workers put one in, instead of a cellar outside." "Dang Eris, a whole Pallet of those things, wait it's not just one flavor, is it?" "No it's got all of the flavors, except diet, I can't stand diet." "Nice, so we should have enough to last us for about maybe a few months or more if we stretch it out." Twilight just gives up and sits back down and drinks her soda, and does a very poor job of hiding that she likes it. "Okay so if we are done with the questioning," I looked over at Twilight and smiled at her. "maybe we can actually hang out now." At that very moment there was a flash and a fairly large basket full of Ponystaion games sat in in the middle of the room. "Eris?" "Not me, I didn't even move, otherwise miss no-fun here would spank me." I rolled my eyes are her, as did Twilight. "I would." Everypony turned to look at Draco, including Eris, though with a blush on her face. "What?" There was a group head shake, and we moved on. "So who sent it then?" Looking back at the basket as Twilight asked. "I dunno' I don't see a," I saw a folded piece of paper mixed in with the games and I fished it out. "oh wait a minute, there's a note, it says, "Hope you have fun with these games, my sister doesn't know I sent these. P.S. If you don't add me I'll send you to the moon." well, at least we know who sent them now." "Ahhh, good ol' moonbutt, well what' she send?" "Better question is, what didn't she send? There's like pretty much every, ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!" I got a bunch of 'whats' and 'what now's'. "There's a Marebox one and a Mare-u along with, Super Mareio Kart for the mare-u and Battlepony 4 for the marebox one. Luna your gonna give me a heart attack." I said while chuckling to myself. Gilda ran up to the me and the basket and dug around until she pulled out the Marebox one from the pile of games. "Awwww man, are you freaking kidding me, and it's a special edition Battlepony Marebox one," She put it down next to the rest of the stuff. "lucky." "Wanna play it?" Her eyes got wide and she was almost begging me to play it, Gilda, the griffon, damn near begged me to let her play the game with me. How could I not set it up and play it with my favorite griffon. "Sure, here come on guys, I wanna show you my special room." I walked up the stairs to the second floor and opened the second door on the right, the last door being my room. I walked in and flipped the light switch and listened to all the 'woahs' and 'wows' from behind me. "This, everypony, is my studio for all things ponytube and video games." Putting out my arms trying to add flare to my reveal of my now most cherished room in the entire house. "Woah dude, this place is bitchin'." says Barb. "I know right. I had about 7,715 bits after I did this whole room. 'course now that's done to around 6,165 bits after I bought my friends, Gilda and Trixie theirs own things. Although that's fine since I now have a partnership with Ponytube and I get paid from my videos, I think I get paid around 350 bits a week or more form my videos for now until I get more ponies subscribed to me. Though I've been live-streaming more than recording lately since I have had no one to record with." "Dang, this stuff wasn't cheap." said Barb as she inspected my setup. "Nope, it wasn't, but it was totally worth it, since now," I lifted up the box with the Marebox inside. "we can record Battlepony 4 on it. I have an HD PVR to record stuff with, and the first game to get the honors is gonna be the one Luna sent me. Gilda you get to be the first co-host with me." Flashing her a toothy grin. "Well it's about damn time blueberry." She laughed at me as I narrowed my eyes at Barb for telling her that. ~25 minutes later~ "Okay that should be it than." I said getting up off the floor. I had just finished connecting all the wires that had to be plugged into the back to get the system to work and record to the HD PVR. "Alright, let's play thing bad boy." I hand Gilda a headset and plug both mine and hers into a splitter that I bought and then plugged that into the system by USB port. "Okay, I think it's time to tear it up in multiplayer." "You know it." What ensued was a good 2 hours of explosions, deaths, and altogether awesomeness. Sadly before all that The other girls, minus Rainbow who decided to stick around, had left for home. Misty had gone to her room, which she had picked would be the one across from my studio, and went to use her new computer and set up an account on Equesart, which was the same as deviantart on earth. Draco had retired to his room which was at the end of the hall and just went to take a nap. Subsonic had stayed downstairs and helped Trixie get her PC set up. "Okay, now that, was epic." "Oh yeah, I swear I haven't had a good game of Battlpony in a long time, I was a bit rusty at first, but it started coming back to me quick enough." Both Gilda and I were flexing our hands and claws to try and relieve the tension in our joint from gaming for so long. My hand was feeling better after a few flex's but Gilda still looked a bit worse for wear, she was rubbing her right claw and then the other so I scouched over and took her claw in my hands and started to press down in the spots I know hurt after you play for a lot. "Here let me." "Uhhhh." "You see sometimes flexing ain't enough so you need to," I pressed down and popped her knuckle closest to her palm making her grunt for a second and then sigh in relief the next. "pop somethings back into place, you know what I mean?" She didn't respond, but I didn't mind, so I continued to pop the rest of her knuckles in her right claw and then the left. "There you go, should feel a lot better now, right?" "Uhhh, y-yeah, t-thanks." she had the slight beginnings of a blush showing through her feathers. "Hey you guys up here!?" I heard Rainbow calling for us. A few seconds later her poked through the doorway. "There you guys are, I was getting bored downstairs just sitting around and doing nothing but listen to those two talk about RPG this and RPG that. The only RPG I use is the ones in P.O.D., not those games that take you like half you damn life to play." I stifled a chuckle so as not to upset her, but I did think it was funny since I do remember subsonic telling me that he liked RPG's at one point and so does Trixie, of course those two would get caught in their own little world. I almost felt bad for Rainbow...almost. "Hey 'imma get going, it's starting to get a little late and I wanna get to our home and check it out before it gets to dark." I looked at the clock in the room and it read five-fourty five, "wow it got really late" I thought to myself. "Alright Gilds, take it easy." "Yeah later man." WE bumped fists and then she was on her way. I could hear her asking for the house key from Trixie downstairs before she I heard the front door open and close. Then It was just me and Rainbow in the room. She just stood there twiddling her thumbs, not saying anything. It was kinda starting to get awkward. "So..." "So..." "Okay I have to do something to break this awkward tension...wait why is it even awkward, I've never had a problem with her before. So she's cute, that doesn't change the fact...wait, did I just think she was cute. When did I start thinking about her like this? I would have noticed it before right? Shit man, Gotta do something to get rid of the awkward atmosphere." "Do you uhhh, want to play something...with me?" "Smooth Sound, real smooth." My inner me is just face palming right now. "Uhhh, s-sure yeah, w-what game did you have in mind?" "Dang, she's as nervous as me. Better observation, why is she nervous in the first place?" "Well, we could always setup the Mare-u and play Mareio Kart. There's two controllers so we can both play." "Okay, I'll uhhh, go get it." As soon as Rainbow Dash walked out the door I lean back in my chair and cover my eyes with a hand and sigh deeply. "Okay Cobalt, there has to be a reason why she's fidgeting and acting totally different around you all of a sudden. Maybe something happened and she wants your help, or maybe, maybe...she likes you..." I swallowed hard, letting out an audible gulp noise. "Yeah right, even if she does have some similar interests with me, doesn't mean she'd like me," I sigh again, only this time with a sense of longing. "As if I even have a chance with her, she's athletic, strong willed, and altogether, a hell of a lot better in pretty much than me in every way. I sit here and play games, don't work anywhere, and to top it all off, I don't fly around everywhere like she does, or even that fast for that matter. Why would she want someone who's just going to weigh her down?" "Okay I got it." Her sudden entry caused me to jolt in my chair and nearly topple over in surprise. "Woah!" "You alright dude?" "Glad to see that she's not stuttering anymore." "Y-Yeah, ya' scared the ever living cripes outta' me is all." "Haha, so I did scare you." "Well I'm not ashamed to say it at least." For some reason Dash winced slightly at my comment about admitting something, and it bothered me. I wanted to know what was bothering her so much, but my head just told me to leave her be, that she'd tell me if and when she wanted too. Re-situating myself in my seat, I gesture for her to come over. "Let's set it up then." There were a couple of times while connecting wires that our hands just grazed each others', causing us to blush a bit and apologize. It took us about 5 minutes to get it to work, since a certain rainbow mare told me we didn't need a wire when we clearly needed it. "Told ya'." "No, you said we MIGHT need it." She said crossing her arms and with a cute pout on her face. "Damn it Dash, really not helping here." "Ahhhh, well, same difference, at least it's working now, see." The screen was indeed showing the menu screen of the Mare-u. "Where's the game?" "I got it in case you wanted to take 5 minutes to get it out." She snickered at me. "Ya well it's better than taking 5 minutes to put it in..." Silence...awkward silence again. "Damn it why'd I have to say that?" "Uhhhh, yeeeaaaaahh, let's just play the game." She said with a hint of redness on her cheeks. "Yup, just uhhh, go ahead and pop it right in." And like that, as if the universe really wanted to make my life difficult, Rainbow opened the case holding the game, took it out and bent over, right in front of me, giving me a full view of her perfectly round buttocks, and inserted the game, then walked back like nothing happened. I swear it's like she knows what she's doing it, but damn man, this girl is not making it any easier for me here. Noticing the look of slight shock on my face. "Hey you alright?" Her voice broke me out of my stupor. I blinked rapidly and shook my head lightly. "Hmm, oh yeah, just got caught in thought is all." "Yeah and almost in staring at her ass. Come on man get it together, this ain't like you." "Alright, then let's play." "Yeah, I'm totally gonna beat your butt...I-I mean I'm gonna beat you...wait that's not what I meant...ummm, lets play?" I risked peak over at Rainbow and what I saw was beyond mortifying. Her hands were gripping the controller hard, she had her legs crossed and she had a heavy blush on her face, which if I'm right, was the same for me. "Y-Yup." "Yup." Trying to avoid anymore awkwardness I just hit start on the game and started playing. After a few races the silence seemed to have changed, thank Luna for that, and she was actually playing and having fun, and so was I. "You're gonna' lose." "No I'm not." "Yes you are!" "NO!" "YES!" "NO!!" "YES!!" Then we both shouted. "NOOOOOOOOOO!!" "Fuck you Mareio, fuck you and your stupid blue shell!" "That over-alls wearing sonuva-bitch, argh, and we both lost!" Dash equally as upset as me. I leaned back into my chair and sigh, closing my eyes. Until Rainbow speaks, which make my heart beat faster again. "Hey, Cobalt?" I look over, and she's got her hands on her knees, looking right at me, with those beautiful magenta eyes of hers. "I was wondering if...if uhhhh, why is this so difficult to ask?" "Ummm, what was that?" Okay I was getting really nervous now, why was I getting nervous, she's probably just embarrassed about something. I know her by now that she takes pride in doing everything with no help, kinda like AJ. "I...I...Oh screw this!" She jolted forward and engulfed my lips in a kiss, completely catching me off guard. I was stunned, to say the least, but she looked worse. Rainbow had her eyes shut, almost painfully so it seemed. When she felt that I wasn't doing anything back she opened her eyes and back away suddenly. "I...I...I'll just." Tears clearly starting to form in her eyes. She turned to leave but I jumped up out of my chair and grabbed her hand and put my other on her other shoulder and spun her around. "I thought-UMPH!" I didn't give her a chance to say an apology or an excuse for leaving. She let me know what was on her mind, albeit physically but still. Plus Luna and Celestia damn me to the pits of Tartarus if I let her walk away and have her believe that I hated her or didn't like her like that. I wouldn't be able to see her sad like that, not after what she just did. Her wings were twitching the whole time during the kiss, and I'm sure mine were doing the same. It had to be the greatest minute of my life since I got here. I would've gone on longer with the kiss but, alas, ponies need to breath. When we broke apart there was a little sliver of saliva connecting both out lips, and we were breathing hard. "I thought you didn't like me?" She said between breaths. "W-Well I do, I didn't really notice it until now but, well, at the risk of sounding sappy, you're very beautiful." "Haha, yeah, that was pretty bad," She giggled cutely. "Well I-mmph." She gave me a quick kiss and grinned at me. "but thank you......hey?" "Hmm?" "Do you maybe wanna, I dunno, go out to eat somewhere?" "Sure, how does Burger Princess sound." "Sounds good, if you would have said anyplace fancy I would have had to whack ya' over the head." I chuckled at her comment. "Well, you never seemed like the kind of mare that would go to a big fancy restaurant anyway." "And you'd be right, now come on, we got some games to play." "Hee, alright, and hey," "What?" I gave her another quick kiss. "I think my stay here just got a whole lot better." I grinned at her smiling face. "Okay, enough with the sappy, now lets get to playing." She says to stop with the mushy stuff yet she likes it, I can tell by the blush on her face. "Alright, let's play something else though, there's a whole basket of games downstairs compliments of Luna." "Oh yeah I forgot about that, I'll be right back." She left the room with a noticeable spring in her step, and all the while I just sat in my chair, thinking to myself, "If I had known that coming here, meant I would find this level of happiness, I think I would have come sooner. I wonder if any of my other friends'll find somepony for themselves?" When she got back she had the basket in hand and a big smile on her face. I had her close the door so we would bug anypony in the house in case they were sleeping, it was only six o'clock but still, ya'know. When we looked at the clock next it read nine at night, no wonder she and I felt, and looked so tired. I told her she could spend the night here, since I didn't want her flying at night, only to remember after I got out of the bathroom when I finished showering, that I only had ONE bed in my room. ONCE AGAIN making it a little awkward, just not as awkward as before. So there we were, standing in the middle of the room, in our pajamas. "Uhhh, I only have one bed." "Y-Yeah I can see that." "I could sleep in the couch downstairs and yo-" "NO! I mean, no, it's fine, I can take one side and you can take the other...right?" "Yeah I guess so, if it's cool with you." Rainbow crawled into the bed and got situated underneath the sheets, followed by me slipping in on the other side. As I was about to turn the lamp on the nightstand off, I heard the sheets rustle and then felt a pair of soft lips touching my cheek. "Night Cobalt." "Uhhh, night, Dash." As I laid myself down and covered myself with the sheets, I thought of how red Rainbow Dash's face must be, and then I thought of how red my face must be too. All in all I think today actually went well. I had my friends move in with me, Luna sent me a a crap-ton of games and two game consoles, and to top it all off I'm pretty sure I just got a marefriend. It's only been one week's worth time here in Equestria and so much has already happened. I can't wait to see what tomorrow will bring with it, but first I need to sleep for the night before tomorrow could come. After I laid my head down on my pillow it only took me a few minutes before I joined my already lightly, and adorably, snoring marefriend. Luna's sweet dream realm took us for the night and we dreamed peacefully. > The Following Day > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The light from the morning sun filtered in through the open blinds hitting me directly in the face. My side of the bed was facing the door which was weird. I was sleeping on the right side, or the left side if you looked at it from the foot of the bed. The head of the bed was up against the left side of the room, just like my old room back on earth. I was still waking up when I felt something wrapped around my midsection. I tried looking down until my chin bumped into something, upon looking moving my head back slightly and looking down I saw a head of rainbow colored mane staring me back in the face, and then it clicked. Rainbow Dash is snuggled up against me in her sleep. It was adorable really, and seeing as there was no way of breaking out of this without waking her up I just hugged her back and rested my chin on the top of her head, breathing in her scent. She smelt like one of those pomegranate flavored lip balms, it smelt nice. I stayed like this for about two more minutes until I felt Rainbow begin to stir and awaken. "Hmm, bwha, whas, wha, where..." I felt her try to move and then look up to see what was blocking her movement when she felt that she couldn't back away. When she looked up I caught her lips in a fairly long kiss, also hearing Rainbow lightly moan into the kiss almost made me want to deepen it, but I felt like there would be a better time for that. "Mornin' sleepyhead." She looked at me with those wonderful magenta eyes of hers, the ones that would burn with such an intensity whenever she would had a determined look on her face, but now they only seemed to shimmer in the early morning light. "Hi." "You know, your snoring is adorable." She looks a little embarrassed when I mention that. "Mmmmmm, It's stupid." She mumbled. I lift her chin with a finger so she's looking into my eyes again. "I find it cute, and adorable." Then I leaned in for another kiss. I'll just say right now, that I don't think I'll ever get tired of making her blush. Just feeling her close to my like this, feels like heaven, if I were to die right here right now, I'd be...somewhat okay with that, I'd be away from my precious Rainbow. "Do you want to get up or-" "No, I want to stay like this for a bit longer, I...kinda like this...the whole 'you holding me', feels kinda nice." I chuckle. "I was gonna suggest that too ya'know." I squeeze her just a little and hear her sigh. We stayed like that for another ten minutes just laying there in each others embrace until our bodies decided to let us know that we had to get up. *Grrrrrrr* "Sounds like your hungry Dash." I said to a once again blushing Rainbow. "Heh, yeah, maybe we should get up and go eat." *Grrrrrrr* Now it was my turn to blush. "Sounds like you're hungry too, come on. we have to get out of bed sometime." Nodding my head we separated, immediately missing the others warmth. We got up and made our way for he door, the bed can be made later...or not at all, somethings never change. Leaving the room I noticed that everypony else was already up, judging by all the open doors. As we walk down the stairs I hear noises from the kitchen, I was expecting to find all of my friends but I only found two out of the three. When I walked into the kitchen I forgot that none of them knew that Rainbow stayed for the night, let alone staying with me in my room. 'Yo, you get lucky last night Sound?" Both me and Rainbow blushed, our ears splayed back in embarrassment, we tried to diffuse the situation, but the both of us stumbling over each others words didn't make it any better. "Nothing happened last night!" "I just stayed the night!" "We didn't have sex!" "We didn't have sex!" ...complete silence. Well I think we handled that situation just fine, totally one hundred percent a'okay. So in light of the moment I notice that Subs ain't at the table like the others, and decide to ask where he is, regardless of how embarrassed I am at the moment. "Hey Misty where's Subsonic?" "I'm not sure, he wasn't in his room when I came out, so I'm not sure." I looked at Draco. "I got nothing man" "Alright so then where is...do you guys hear that?" "I heard something, but I thought it was something else." "Well it's coming form the living room." Everypony followed me as I walked into the living room where the sound got louder, but not by much. I heard the noise from the couch and then I peaked over the back of it. What was say had to be the funniest and most adorable thing I've seen, second to Rainbow, nothing beat that. I found Trixie laying on top of my buddy Subsonic, snoring lightly into his chest, with her arms wrapped around him. Subs had an arm slung over her back while the other hung off the edge of the couch. "Quick, does anypony have anything to record this with!?" I ask excitedly Draco whips out his phone turns his camera on. "Got it man." "Okay 'imma wake them up." Rainbow was snickering while I was trying so hard from not giggling like an idiot as my hands got closer to their faces. After what felt like an ungodly amount of time my fingers brushed their muzzles and I watched them start to wake up. "Mmmmm, I really have to remember to...to...what am I on top of." "Ummm, hi." "H-Hello." Trixie laid on top of him a bit longer before she fully registered exactly what she was on top of. She gave a short yelp and then rolled off of him and on the floor on her rump. "Ow...I think I just broke my ass." She said while rubbing her now sore backside. "Yo Bass, you should rub it for her." Both Trixie and Subs turned to look at us and Trixie's eyes snapped wide open at the sight of us recording the whole thing. "Wha-what are you...TURN THAT OFF RIGHT THIS INSTANT!" Trixie tried to jump up and over the couch but she forgot that there was a pony sitting in it at the moment, and right in front of where she was jumping and instead she ending slamming into poor or maybe not so poor since he had his head buried in Trixie's chest, for all of two seconds. "Oh my goodness, I'm so sor..." Trixie froze. She felt something on her flanks. When she had jumped onto the sofa she had landed right on his lap and he had subconsciously put his hands on her flanks. Trixie's face was crimson in color, and she did the only sensible thing. She slapped him. *Smack* The sound of hand meeting face echoed throughout the room. The slap itself made Subsonic let go immediately. Trixie however had her hands over her mouth in a shocked state. "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean...it's just that...your hands were on my....ohhhh." Subsonic was still recovering from the assault to his face by Trixie's hand, managed to respond. "It's a, it's okay, it's not your fault." "Guilty," I said in a sing song voice. "I'm sorry but I just couldn't resist, also your still on his lap...wouldn't surprise me if you gave hi ma boner through all this either." There was a pregnant pause as Trixie's face got an even darker shade of red. Honestly she better be careful or she might turn into a tomato from how red she is. "He's got one, doesn't he?" Asked Misty. Trixie, still frozen in place from the sudden realization, could only nod her head slowly. "His bedroom's upstairs in case you know you wanna," I wiggled my eyebrows; I know, I'm terrible. "W-Well ummm, I-I'll just get o-off you now then." Trixie scrambled off of my friend and sat on the other chair in the room, obviously trying to stay away from him. She was probably pretty embarrassed. "Alright, alright, look the camera wasn't even recording, promise." "Yeah see." Draco showed Trixie, which seemed to actually calm her down a bit. "Okay, so other than torturing mares what else could we do today?" Asked Misty. I thought for a bit, until something came to me. "You guys need clothes, lets go to Rarity's." "Alright man, sounds good. I'm gonna need new clothes if I'm gonna be wooing the mares left and right." "Alright let's eat breakfast first, then we can go." We all headed into the kitchen to have our breakfast and then head over to Rarity's. I'm sure she'd love to make some clothes for my friends. Trixie on the other hand went home,since I'm sure Gilda might have been wondering where she was she didn't find here this morning. Rainbow decided to stick around though, I didn't mind that at all, not one bit. Knocking on Rarity's door we were greeted by her sister, and let me tell you, she looks just like her sister. Thin but not so much that you could break her in half with a hug, her hair look as beautiful as her sister's, and just so I don't feel like a pedo. I won't go into detail about her body, just that she filled out nicely. "Rarity! Cobalt's here! Come say hi to you coltfriend!" She yelled out that last part in a sing song voice, and what a voice it was. I guess she really earned that cutiemark huh. Oh yeah, duh, I haven't told you what it was; her cutiemark was a heart with a musical note over it. If I had to take an obvious guess, she must sing. Told'ya it would be an obvious guess. "Sweetie Belle! For the last time he is not my-oh hello there darlings, please excuse my sister," She looks back at Sweetie Belle who is currently sitting on the couch in the room. Sweetie sticks her tongue out and Rarity returns the gesture; huh guess she not so stuck-up as I thought she would be. "What can I do for you dear?" "Well, my friends here have nothing to wear." I didn't even need to further than that since she yanked them all in,excluding me and Rainbow of course, into the room and began rambling on and on about "getting them different styles" of "making sure the measurements are correct" and the like. "Well come in you two don't just stand out there, come in, come in." I put my arm around Rainbow and we walked in together...until the door frame choose to be too small to allow two pony so walk side by side through. "Haha, well I tried, ladies first." I held a hand out. "Oh please, don't get all sappy now, come on." She said tugging on my arm for me to come over to the love seat next to the couch that Sweetie Belle was on. Dash leaned over and put her head on my shoulder and I put mine on top of her's. Sweetie Belle must have looked up because I heard her shuffle on the couch and call out to us. "Hey, are you guys together?" I could hear the measuring tape that she had in her hands drop to the floor. I could feel her stare even though I wasn't looking at her. "Yup. Just keep this secret ok...well maybe your friends are okay but nopony else." Sweetie nodded, while Rarity quite literally ran up to us and looked like Pinkie Pie, except you know white...and a unicorn. She was practically bouncing...no really she was bouncing up and down from how positively giddy she was. "WHEN!? HOW!? HOW LONG!?" *Ahem* Okay, yesterday night, she kissed me and I kissed her back, and..she doesn't know that, she hasn't seen me naked yet." The first two made her eyes glisten and the last one made her blush a tiny bit. "W-Well ummm, I can understand the third one but that's simply marvelous." She started rambling on about other things until I heard her mention something about gossip, and I stopped her right there before Rainbow could say anything herself. "Hold on a sec there Rarity, I don't word of this getting to anypony just yet," She looked at me completely crestfallen. "hold on let me finish, nopony but the rest of the girls, and, only if they ask you can you tell them." That seemed to have perked her back up. "Well at least I can tell the others if they ask about you being together,uggggh, the last time I had to keep a relationship under wraps, it was not pretty, at least for me. I constantly had to hide from ponies and by the time they finally let them knew they were together I was a mess." "Welp, don't worry you pretty little head," I looked at dash and she had her arms crossed and was giving me a playful glare. "Not as pretty as you though." "That's so corny," I turned around to continue talking to Rarity. "I didn't tell you to stop." Everypony laughed at her comment. "Awwwww, I'm sorry here," I sit back down and bring her in for a quick kiss, which makes her wings snap open in surprise. *Poomf* "Better now?" "Better...are my wings out?" "Yup." "I blame you." "Than I take that blame." "Here I'll just," She reached around and pinched the base of my wings and holy crap that was a weird, but not an unpleasant, feeling. *Poomf* "Wooooaaah" "U-Ummmm, what?" "Your wings." "What about them, is there something wrong with them?" "No, they're...they're," "They're what?" "Big...really big." "Uhhhh, okay?" "Here come over here." She brought me over to a mirror and wow, they were giant, well not really gigantic, but but from what Dash described them as was that they were bigger than the biggest ever recorded from a Pegasus before but also not Princess big. "So that's why flying was so easy for me, I barely had to really give it much force...wait how'd you not see my flying int the castle when I first got here?" She blushed and folded her ears back. "Weeeeellll I might have been looking somewhere else at the time." I looked at Rarity next. "I just assumed that they were big for a reason, you being a bit more heavy set and all." "Hey, I'm not fat, thank you very much," She was about to give a rebuttal before I stopped her. "but I get what you mean, I wouldn't have known either, hell I didn't know they were that big until just now, and not to mention I would have thought that I would have noticed when I woke up in the morning too." I moved around and looked at my big wings from all angles. I don't want to sound like a total douche but, my wings looked amazing as Rainbow put it. She couldn't stop ogling them or touching my primary's. Let me tell you something, I always thought it was complete and utter bull that when someone, or somepony in this case, touches your wings it gives you a sense of pleasure...I was wrong, so very wrong. "Ummm, D-Dash, please stop tugging on my fEAthers please?" "Oh, uh heehee, sorry 'bout that, I was just uhhhh, admiring your wings?" "Right or you were feeling me up...great I got a wingboner, thanks dash...I blame you for this." "Well whatever, at least it's in here and not out there." I said motioning to the door with my thumb. "Okay I've gotten a new outfit ready for your friend Bass, now I just have to make some for your other friends dear." Rarity said while handing the clothes to Subsonic. "Okay Rarity, thanks again for this, are you sure you don't want me to pay for the clothes?" "Nonsense, dear your friends need them right now. Besides they can always come back for some clothes if they ever need anything later." "Alright then. Hey Bass?" "Yeah!?" He asked form behind the changing screen. "You wanna come over and help out with something I'm doing for Ponytube?" "Sure, just lemme' get dressed first." "You coming Rainbow,?" "I can't I gotta get home, shower and go to work, sorry." "Awwww, it's alright," I gave her a quick kiss. "So does Tuesday sound good for your little outing?" "Sounds good, I'll be over at your place in the next couple of days for lunch. Don't forget." Another quick kiss and she was out the door and headed for work. "Alright dude let's go; I'm ready." "Okay, but first, let's go get Gilda and Vinyl, I'm going to need all the help I can get for this one." Bass and I walked out the door headed for Vinyl's house. "I think she said she knew where Trixie and Gilda lived? Ahhh it's fine I can ask her when I see her." > Ponytube Challenge Num. 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Bo-Beep* June, 5, 2014 Ponytube challenge 1 System Shock (Shock Challenge) "Is it on bro?" I wonder who that is, huh...it might be a friend of his. "Yeeeeeaaaaaahh, it is now...I think? Yup, it's on, the red light is blinking." Yeah! There's Soundwave, I love this guy! "And what was this challenge you wanted us to do with you again?" Another friend? And it's a girl this time. "Yeah dude, something about being in for a shock?" Oh...oh!...OH!...that's Vinyl, ohmygosh I love her music! Shes doing a video with him? This is gonna' be awesome...wait a shock, she doesn't mean the shock challenge does she? "Okay hold oooooooon aaaaannnd, there, okay 'imma get out of the way for the camera so they can see everyone here." ~Cobalt moves over to the couch and sits down~ "Okay, hello everypony, dragon, griffon, zebra and whoever else is watching this right now, this is Supreme Sound, and I just want you all to know...that I hate you all...," Huh? "just kidding, hahaha, but no really what the frick guys, I asked you all to send me like game challenges, like what game to play on hard difficulty or a game that I'm not particularly familiar with, and what I get is just, so full of nope." ~Soundwave moves out of view from the camera and then come back with a big device in his hands.~ Oh dear Luna, is that a... "This is a...*sigh*, this is a torture device, this...thing...is called a Devil Shocker." Oh my gosh it is. "Oh so like a gag shocker?" "No Bass," Oh his name's Bass, okay I'll remember that for later. "This thing isn't just a gag shocker.Here let me show you." *Flick, Beep,bwuueeeeeeeeeeee* "Watch." ~he takes one of the handle things off the stand and lays it on the table~ *Bzzzzzzzzzzt* Oh. My. Gosh. That thing was cray-cray. Holy their faces are priceless, hahahaha. "That things gonna fry me like a turkey!" "Holy *beep*, what the *beep* dude, can that thing stop your heart!?" "Nope, it just *beep* sucks." "Okay dude, I've seen some weird and *beep* up stuff before as a DJ but...damn dude." "Yup...I'll give you all 30 bits to do this with me." "No!" "Nope." "Hellllll noooooo." ~video cuts to a later time~ "Okay so they agreed to do this with me." "Yeah but only because you're paying us 50 bits now." "Hey now, don't be mad at me, 'A giddy little zebra' sent this challenge to me. you sir and or madam...are sick and twisted, but seriously, this is gonna suck." "If dude if this is a challenge, there has to be a record or something, right?" *Vinyl asks* That's a good question, I have no idea though. "Yup, there is, it's five minutes," Holy balls! "which means a total of five shocks per level, and there's five levels...ugh...I do this for you guys, and my friends are doing this for you too, so you better give them props for however long they last, because I think they're gonna leave me after this." "Naw, just avoid you is all." "You live here." He lives with other ponies now? "Welp there goes that plan, time to go sleep in a corner than." ~The stallion starts to walk away before Cobalt goes and brings him back~ "You can go to the corner after the challenge, trust me you will want a corner to cry in later." "So we gonna do this or what bolt?" "Yes we are Gilda." Yay now I know everyone there. "you mean like right now?" "What?" *BZZZZZZZZZZ* ~everyone spasms from the shock the device gives~ "HOLY BALLS THAT *beep* HURTS! THAT HAPPENS EVERY TEN SECONDS!?" "Yup it does *BZZZZZZZZZ* HOLY FRICKING FRIJOLES! OW!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHAHAHAHA OW!" "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH*gurgling noise* I'M DONE, I'M SO *beep* DONE, *beep* THIS *beep* THE CHALLENGE, *beep* IT I'M OUT!" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY CELESTIA THAT WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS! ~video cuts to all of them sitting on the sofa with varying looks of exhaustion.~ "Well that was a very interesting challenge. i never want to do it again...ever, what about you guys?" *looks at his friends* "Nope." "Naw man I need my hands for DJ'ing thank you." "Gilda?" "*beep* that *beep*. My hand still feels funny." "Okay then, there you have it, that's never happening again, so thanks so much for watching you sickos. I hope you loved the fact that my friends and I had to go through that for all of you." "I'm Cobalt Soundwave," "I'm Subsonic Bass," "I'm Vinyl Scratch," "I'm Gilda," *all together* "and this has been another episode of Code Red Gaming with Supreme Sound, I hope to see you all, on the next video I make...whenever my hand gets feeling back in it...bye bye!" I'm so liking and faving this video to show to my friends. > "It Was Peach...I like Peaches." > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Okay so it's agreed that we never do something like that again?" I asked my friends who were also still massaging their aching hands. "Yeah, I kinda need my hands for my job...ya'know, DJ, kinda need my hands to be functioning." Said the white mare. "Yeah, let's not do something like that again." I said, still massaging my wrist. "Man I'm thirsty all of a sudden." "Hey, now that you mention it so am I." Subsonic's agreement got nods out of the others as well. "I can help with that." Said a disembodied voice, though, I had an idea of who it was. "Sup' Eris!" "Hello Bolty, like I said, I can help with that." As she finished speaking, she snapped her claw and four bottles poofed into existence. We each had a bottle of a different flavor of Mnt Dew, mine was voltage, and it was as amazing as I remembered it to be. "Aaaaaahhh, and it's cold too, nice...hey my hand doesn't hurt anymore. Errrrriiiiiiisss, did you have something to do with this?" I asked in that tone that parents use when they know their kids have done something wrong. Eris put her claw to her chest in mock surprise. "Why what ever do you mean, Mnt Dew heals all ailments," We all stood there looked at her with a look that said " Really?". "oh fine, I added a bit of magic to it to heal your hands up, that was a stupid thing you did with that shocker thing." "Ha, tell me about it. I ain't never doing something like that again." "I second that." "Ditto." "Same." And with that, it was agreed we wouldn't do a challenge like that again. "Well, what have you been up to Eris? You know besides spying on Celestia and Luna in the shower." I said with a chuckle. I don't know if Eris' face could get any redder, because her face was pretty red. "I-I-I-I...now just a...that was one time and I swear I didn't know they were in the hot tub and they know it!" "Sure, sure, keep tellin' yourself that Ris." Eris blinked and tilted her head at me"Ris?" "Well, yeah, I figured, cute nickname for a cute girl. Right?" I finished with a cocky grin. Eris was blushing even harder now. "I-I-I ummmm...t-thanks?" She said while rubbing her arm subconsciously and stared at a very interesting pebble on the ground. "Don't mention it Ris. Anyway I gonna head over to Dash's house, so I'll see you guys later." Eris snapped out of her dazed state long enough to comment on what I said. "Gonna' go see your marefriend?" She said with a teaseful tone; too bad I was about to burst her bubble. "Actually, yes. Yes I am." And with that I flew off. My mare was waiting for me at her cloud home and I was going to spend some time with her. ~~~~ And by spend time with her I meant sit on her couch and play video games while trying to mess with her. "Dang it w-would ya' stop trying to," "Never!" I was currently playing Mareio kart at Dash's house and I was tickling her with my wing to make her mess up. If you think it's easy then it's not. I have to tickle her, focus on the screen and at the same time I'm using those dreaded gyro-controls with the remote. "We're tied Dashie," I looked over to see her looking at me with a toothy grin. "Yeah, and I'm winning!" As she said that she used a speed-shroom and blew past me...right into a trap. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" "YES!" I was busy celebrating when Dash started getting rather sore about losing the way she did. "That stupid fricking giant ball with a mouth just had to hit me!" Dash threw her arms up."Aaaaaaaahhhhh screw that!" She threw her controller down as she brought her arms down. Too bad she decided to let go of it over my lap. The soft *thump* that the controller let out upon hitting me in my, *ahem* sensitive are, I immediately stopped my celebration to make room for pain. "MMPH!" Was the only thing I was able to utter before I toppled over onto my side. Dash on the other hand saw what happened and just stared at me writhing in my pain. "My babies." Speech was something that was not coming to me very easily. "Ohmygosh, are you alright!? I'm so sorry!" Dash kind of just sat there, unsure of what to do. "Just give me a minute...please?" "Ummmm, I'll...get some ice." Fifteen minutes later I'm sitting on the couch with a little bag of ice on my crotch, not that it did anything, though, I wasn't going to tell Dash that since she genuinely felt bad for assaulting my nads with a game controller. "I think I lost one." I said as I felt another small pang of pain run up my back. "I'm sorry, I just let go of it, I wasn't looking were it was going." Dash said with a slight grimace as she saw me tense up again for yet another pang of pain. "Don't worry about it. It's not the first time it's happened, and it's not the worst either." "And how exactly is me hitting you with a remote, not that bad." "I caught a ball." "So?" She asks with a raised eyebrow. "With mine." I said emotionlessly. It took Rainbow a good three seconds to understand what it was that I said before, "Mmmmmm, ow, okay, just...ow." She cringed just from thinking about it and no it most certainly not fun, even though I did stop the ball and won the game, I wondered if it was even worth it. We stayed silent for a bit before I got tired of it. "Hey Dash, I said it was fine, don't worry 'bout it." She just pouted at me. "I still hit you." She mumbled. Without thinking I just grabbed one of the pillows on her couch and lobbed it at her head, which connected with a soft *poomf* when it hit. "Oh, it's so on now!" What proceeded was a good five minutes of wrestling on the couch that led to us falling on the floor out of breath and with me on top of her. Huffing and puffing, we just stared at each other, calming down from our little 'match' not moving, staring into those beautiful magenta eyes of hers. Without even giving it a second thought I leaned in closer and saw that Dash was as well. Closer and closer we came until our muzzles connected and we entered blissful paradise. We stayed on the floor just kissing for what felt like hours, but it was only for a minute, after all, you need air to live so we had to separate, leaving thing line of spittle between us connecting our lips. "That was," "Awesome?" I say, cutting her off. "yeah." Dash said back a bit out of breath still, and I was still too, that was pretty intense. It took our brains a while to fully understand what position we were in at the moment. We were on the floor, Dash being underneath me, and I was on top of her. if our faces weren't already red from our little makeout session before, now they were undoubtedly redder, and on top of that our wings were at full mast. "Uhhhh," "Ya, umm, lemme' just," I said as I tried to get up but I misplaced my hand on the edge of the couch and slipped. Trying to catch my self I put my hand down as fast as possible, too bad it landed in the last spot I thought it would. Right on her chest. Her breast to be exact. I couldn't be anymore mortified than I was right now, I mean we've only been together for about what two days, maybe close to three, and I had already fondled her. "I...I'm so-" "It's fine, just uhhh, can you remove her hand form my boob now please?" I looked down and saw that I was still gipping her chest...wait when was I gripping? Whatever doesn't matter, I just need to let go. I sprang up to a sitting position with my hands pulled back and quickly got up and off of her. "S-Sorry, here let me help you up." As I tried to pick her up she slipped this time and fell on top of me pushing me onto the couch and ended up straddling me. "Ummm, uhhh." My brain kind of exploded, since I had a hot mare sitting on my lap. 'This must have been what Bass felt when Trixie was on top of him.' I thought to myself. I was about to say something, but Dash cut me off and left me pretty stunned by what she said. "Screw it." And then she grabbed my shirt collar and brought me and her into a very hot, and very intense kiss. 'Screw it.' I thought to myself, 'If she doesn't mind, then neither to I.' So we sorta' just spent the next few minutes sucking face. ~~~~ After our little session in Dash's home, we decided that we needed some food. What? Hey, making out 'ain't as easy as you think emkay, it takes work and concentration...okay so I'm bullshitting right now, but whatever, we got hungry and we both had a bit of a hankering for something sweet for lunch. We flew down from her cloud home and landed on the ground with a low 'clop' and started for Sugarcube corner. Hey, are you busy tomorrow, cause I was thinking we could go out to eat tomorrow?" Dash looked at me at first, wondering why I was asking her and then she remembered that I had asked her if she wanted to go out to eat one day. "Oh yeah, umm sure, that's fine." It was so cute watching her be so flustered like that, and it was just me asking her if she wanted to go out to eat tomorrow. I pulled her into a side hug and rubbed her arm a bit. "You're cute when you get embarrassed, you know that?" "Sh-shut up." She said back. Yup, very cute when she give me that little pout she does, so I just lean down and kiss her just behind her ear. "Come on, let's go eat." "You're lucky I really like you." "Naw, I'm lucky you like me." "That was so corny...but sweet." She said as she put her head on my shoulder as she continued to walk with my arm interlocked with hers. "Hehe, you know I think I like this side of you, it's adorable." I said with a big grin on my face. "Ohhhhh, let's just go and get something to eat," She said as her stomach growled. "see, I'm dying over here, now come on let's go!" She started pulling my arms as she tried to haul me away to Pinkie's place. We arrived at the said bakery no more than a few minutes later since a certain marefriend of mine practically dragged me there, but that doesn't matter, what does matter is that I really want to find out what that amazing smell is wafting in the air right now. I looked all over the bakery and just couldn't find what was making that wonderful smell, until Pinkie walked out of the kitchen area with a pie. Quicker then Pinkie's indescribable speed, I zoomed up to her. "Hey, uhhhh, what uhhh, what kind of pie is that?" I asked excitedly; I really hoped she'd say what I think I smelled. "Oh! It's peach, I mean I was gonna' make an apple pie but, I really wanted to-hey!" "I didn't even let her finish before I took it from her hands, placed it on the counter, cut it in half, put some bits on the counter next to the remainder, and zoom off to a booth and began eating it. Let me just say that anything peach is delicious, I mean come on, that pie was crazy good, I was done with it in about two minutes, even Rainbow was decently surprised that I ate it so fast. "Damn dude." I let out a decently loud belch and sighed dreamily before responding. "It was peach...I like peaches." I say with a stupid grin on my face and peach stuff all over my muzzle. Dash just rolled her eyes and leaned over to wipe my face with a napkin, to which I just scrunched my muzzle and tried to get away from her attempt at cleaning me off. "Would ya *grunt* stop moving so I can *grunt* get that stuff off your face!" "Never!" I say valiantly as I attempt to lick the remainder of the peach gunk off my muzzle, but I still couldn't get the rest of it off, and that's when Dash grabbed my shirt collar, for the second time that day mind you, and pulled me closer, and licked the tip of my muzzle which still had a bit left. I was left a bit dazed by her actions considering that we were in public and nopony here knew that we were seeing each other in anything other than a plutonic way, you know, as friends, so her doing that sort of left me a bit confuzzled...yes I said confuzzled, deal with it. "There," She smiled with her eyes half-lidded at me. "got it all off." "Uhhh...bwuaaa?" I was pretty flustered by that, especially seeing her act like that, I mean I've never seen her act so...so...sexy? Damn mare, I think you just broke my brain. "What? Cat got your tongue?" Oh, Two can play at this game. "No, I had your about a half hour ago in your house, or did you forget where your tongue was?" I said with a growing smirk as her face quickly turned crimson. I just leaned back into my side of the booth and grinned at her before we both remembered who we just put our little show on for. Pinkie was the equivalent to a bottled up...well, bottle rocket, she looked like she was gonna' explode any second. I looked over at Dash and got up, we both took an arm and dragged to the stairs, passing Mrs. Cake who was just walking out of the kitchen to see why Pinkie hadn't returned yet, just to see us dragging said pink mare away, I decided to let her know why we were dragging her away. "Sorry Mrs. Cake, gotta have a little conversation with a friend here. No worries, we'll bring her back A.S.A.P." She just muttered what I believe was an 'okay' and then we led her up the stairs and into her room where we placed her on her bed. "Pinkie?" I asked her as she continued to practically vibrate on the bed, though, when she didn't answer back I looked over to Rainbow who was looking slightly concerned. I tried getting her attention again, but I a different way. "Pinkie, the muffins burnt downstairs." Upon hearing that Pinkie's face turned grim. "Oh no! Mrs. Cake is gonna kill me, she needed those muffins for-" "Pinkie!" "What!" She yelled back. "I lied." Pinkie pouted and crossed her arms at me, as she plopped back onto the bed. "That was mean. I seriously thought I burned them...wait...we weren't even baking muffins, hehehe." She started giggling while me and Dash just face-palmed. "Yeah, well, sorry, it's just that you looked like you were gonna explode from excitement." I said, which in turn made her jump up and hug is both in a bonecrushing hug. "Ohmygosh you two are adorable together, I have to throw you a party! We can get make a cake with both of you on it, some cupcakes, pastries, pies, oh oh oh and we can-" "Pinkie!" "What?" She said back giggly. "No party." "Huh, wha? But why?" She said, sounding rather sad that she couldn't throw us and amazing party. "Well, we just got together, and only you and Rarity now so far, so please keep this to yourself unless one of our friends ask." Her mood did a complete turn around. "You got it boss, cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye." She said with the mannerisms and everything. "Thanks Pinks, we'll uhh, we'll see ya' around." "Okay bye guys!" ~~~~ "Well that went better than I expected." I said walking out of the shop with Rainbow right behind me. "Yeah, I feel like taking a nap now." I looked at her and raised my eye-brow at her. "Back to your house?" "Sure, we can nap together, if you want?" It's cute when she gets like that. "Hehe, it's okay, I know you want to snuggle up against me." I finished with a smirk on my face. I assumed she was blushing, but it's fine since I guess I was too, oh well we can care about that later when we get back to her cloud home and snuggle. ~~~~ A/N Just an after word here for a few people (You know who you are). They other characters will get more 'screen-time' as it were in the next chapter, just letting you know before you all gang up on me as yell at me "Where's the other's!? Why only you and Dash!?" Meh it needed some sort of one on one with those two. "About time you put out the next part ya' scrub" "Yeah well, *looks left, then right* I got no excuse, I was just thinking of things for the story and what not." "Whatever, I got to spend time with Dash so I don't care. *Smiles widely*" "Oh yeah, so, how'd that peach pie taste?" "*starts drooling* Sooooooo gooooooood." "I thought so. Peach is good." "Correction, peach anything is good." "Can't argue with that. So, I intend to get my buddy Draco involved with the next chapter and possible some time with Subsonic and Trixie." "Ohhhhohoho, that'll be a good to see. Can't wait for that, and Draco is so gonna' try something with Celeste I just know it." "Guess it's not really a spoiler if people know what's gonna' happen, huh?" "Nope." "Well, that's all then. Have a good time people, and until next time, this has been Cobo-er I mean formerly known as Killeroreo, now known as Cobolt, and I'll see you next time." "And I'm Cobolt Soundwave saying stay tuned." "Hey, that's my line!" "Too slow. " "Whatever, later people!" "Bye!" > Music & Cake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- While I was out with Dashie all day, my other friends were off doing their own things. Let's check out what they were up too. A little help here Eris? sure thing Bolt. *snap* Bass's P.O.V. "Well - now what do we do?" "I dunno' 'bout you but I gotta' get home, so I'll see you guys later." Gilda said as she flew off. "Yeah, same here, I gotta' get going too, I do make music sooooo, yeah, later!" Vinyl called out as she was already several feet away from where I was standing. "Okay, I guess I'm alone now." "Hey what am I chopped liver...which by the way is gross, ugh" Eris shuddered at the thought of it. I just shook me head. "Hey, I think I'm just going to go to Sugarcube corner - you wanna' come with?" "Sure I guess - I don't anything better to do." So we set off to the bakery, just talking about random stuff. "You listen to music Eris?" "Oh some rock, some dupstep, anything really that sounds good to my ears." "Any bands?" I asked; the response I got wasn't what I was expecting. "I See Sombra, and System of a Down." she said in response. "Wait, you have those bands here too!?" I asked half surprised and half excited. "Here...too...what do you," She facepalmed. "right, forgot, your world and ours are somewhat similar in the sense that somethings are just a bit...changed." "Well, I think I know what band I will be seeing soon." I said with a grin on my face. ~~~~ We talked a bit more before we got to the bakery and made our way in. When we got inside I saw Misty to my left and she looked a bit shy with the stallion she was with at the moment. He was a well dressed stallion, complete with a red Bowtie. "Hey, Misty!" She turned at hearing her name being called to see who it was, and when she saw me she gave me a toothy grin. "Hey, Bass." The stallion in question stood up and offered his hand to me in greeting. "Hello there good man, how are you?" "Hi, I'm fine, and yourself?" "Oh just brilliant, perfect day here, and I just love the pastries here," His face gains a scowl. "just not those cursed pears, ugh, can't stand those things." I just chuckled. "They ain't that bad." "Oh no, they are the devil in disguise those things that they are, well anyway I must be off I promised my lovely friend misty here I'd show her something amazing, come along Misty, Allons-y." "Ummm, okay. Bye Bass. With the Doctor and Misty having left the place I walked over to a very bored looking Draconequus. "Uuuuuugggghh." "What's the matter? Hungry?" She just grunted and pointed at the counter where an assortment of cupcakes sat. I walked over to the counter and just as I was about to ring the little bell, Pinkie popped up from behind the counter. "Hiya!" I jumped back a bit from the initial surprise but quickly regained at least some of my dignity from being scared like that. Knowing Pinkie I should have expected that. "Hey Pinkie, I was wondering if I could get some cupcakes, the ones from that stack over there?" "Sure, Subsy," Pinkie grabbed a good six cupcakes and handed them to me on a small tray, somehow not ruining them at all. "that'll be six bits." It was at that time when I had realized. I had no bits. "Hey, Eris? Can ya' help me out here?" Eris just snapped her fingers making six bits appear on the counter, poofing me back to the booth, and separating the cupcakes evenly between us. "Huh, well that's convenient." Eris just demolished her share, while I sort of eat a bit more slowly. I say sort of since I still ended up with some frosting on my face. Eris was just leaned back in her seat patting her stomach with a content smile on her face. "That's better, I was starving." I just chuckled. "I guess so." I said, motioning to her cheeks. She must have known what I meant since she took a napkin and began to get remove the frosting from her face. She saw my grinning face and pouted at me. "What? They're good and I was hungry." That only served to make me chuckle which made her join in soon enough, laughing at the amount of frosting she had wiped off her face when she looked down at her napkin. She sighed as she reclined back into her seat. "So, what else do you wanna' do?" I thought about it for a bit. "We could go to the music store we saw a while back." "Alright, let's go then." We got up and left the bakery with Pinkie waving goodbye to us. ~~~~ We arrived at the music store a few minutes later, and when we entered, it was like walking into heaven. There were so many music albums, that it was just insane, of course there was I See Stars, or I See Sombra as it was called here. There was System of a Down, Avenged Sevenfold which didn't seem to change it's name. There were so many, there was even Metalonca, Metallica I assume. My browsing was disrupted by a mare behind the counter. "If you want, we got a whole bunch a new stuff in the back." The mare said with a grin. "Thanks, uhhh," "Names, Melody Chord." She said reaching out her hand, which I grasped in my own and gave a shake. She had a pair of sunglasses on her head, resting above her horn, she had a piercing on both her ears, she had on a couple of wristbands with some bands names on them, and she was wearing an I See Sombra Tee-shirt. "Thanks, Melody," I turned to go to the back but then spun back around to face her. "do you have any suggestions?" "Oh do I have suggestions," She said stepping from behind the counter. "do you like I See Sombra?" I looked directly into her eyes and said, "Do I like them she says, ha! I love them." "Great, then you're gonna' like this." What entailed was a good hour long conversation of bands we liked and of what bands the other should give a listen to. It was still daytime when I left the shop and started my way back home when I ran into Trixie. No, really I just walked right into her. Bothe of us fell over on the ground, landing on our butts, which are sore now by the way. "Ow, great now I won't sit right for a while." "If it makes you feel any better, nether will I." Trixie looked up and saw me looking back with an apologetic smile. "Sorry about that Trixie, I wasn't looking were I was going." Trixie seemed to blush, but I'm not too sure. "Uhhh, I-It's okay, I uhhh, I wasn't looking were I was looking either." I stood up and gave her my hand to help her up as well, which she took gratefully in her own. "Hey, I was just heading home right now," I picked up my bag that had my CD's that the mare back at the store gave to me to listen too, which was awesome. Free music is best music. "you wanna' come with? We can listen to some music, I just got some from the music store, which is partly owned by Vinyl by the way, which is awesome." Trixie dusted herself off and then looked back up at me. "Sure, that sounds...nice." "Alright, let's go." ~~~~ Huh, looks like my Buddy, Bass might be getting some back at the house soon, but let's look at what my good friend Draco's up to. Hey Eris? On it. *Snap* ~~~~ Draco's P.O.V. 'Ahhhhh, Canterlot, How I love you. Not for your ponies, but for the fact that that lovely mare of the sun lives here.' I thought to myself as I stepped off the train and on to the platform. The train ride was that long and it was actually pretty nice. 'Time to enact my plan to get that beautiful mare with me. just gotta' work the magic a bit.' "Now then, what do I get her - If I go and see her I have to have something," I racked my brain for an idea before the obvious thing came to mind. "of course, cake!" So I made my way to the nearest bakery and had one made. thankfully they had one just made and all they had to do was frost it. Not quite sure what Celestia's favorite frosting was so I just kind of guessed. I don't think she'll mind, seeing as if she really likes cake and I mean REALLY likes cake, then I should be good. I made my way to the castle and before I make it to the gates, Luna was just walking out and noticed me. "Oh, Draco, what are you doing here?" "Oh hello there, Luna, I was just coming to see your sister. Is she here today?" I asked her with a big toothy grin on my muzzle. Luna just gave me a look that said "Duh", "Of course she is, she runs the day court." "Right, or course, anyway, I was just going to see her and see if she had time for a bit of a lunch break with me." "Well, I think she does have time," Luna got a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "how about I teleport you to her, you know, as a nice little surprise." "Sure go ahead Lulu." Luna narrowed her eyes at me and had a small grin on her face. "Only my sister can call me that." And with that she teleported me right in front of her, completely catching her off guard and making her let out a gasp of surprise. "Hello, there Princess, did you miss me?" I said with a toothy grin. Celestia's face still held the same shocked expression. "I ummm, I uhhhh." I chuckled at her stutterin, I mean come on, I made the princess of the sun stutter. Celestia, the one who's always got something so say back and never hesitates, is stuttering. That felt damn good. "Hey, it's okay, you don't have to say anything - look I brought cake!" I exclaimed as I opened the box I had, revealing a very delicious looking chocolate cake, which I had a feeling Celestia really wanted since she was leaning towards it with her mouth hanging open slightly. "Hehee, hey Celley, you should probably close your mouth, don't want to catch fly's now do you?" Celestia blinked a couple of times before closing her mouth and sitting upright on her throne again. "I ummm," "Do you want some?" I said waving the box in front of her. All Celestia did was nod her head slowly. "Well I assume you could afford a little break...right?" Once again Celestia nodded. "Okay, we could go back to Cobolt's house, you know, so nopony bothers you while to relax." "I ummm, alright." Was all she said before her horn sparked to life. 'Celestia, you are going to have fun on you little break.' ~~~~ When we got back to the house I heard music coming from upstairs; figured that Bass might be in his room. Anyway I had something else on my mind, something more sugary and sweet. My delicious Celes-er, Cake...ahh what the hell Celestia's also delicious...or I would think she is. 'doesn't matter, I still have to separate the cake for us.' As I was about to do just that, I noticed it was already done and Celestia was eating a pretty large slice. She stopped, almost as if she knew I was staring at her, and looked up to see my smiling and chuckling self. "Enjoying the cake there Celley?" She quickly levitated a napkin over to herself and began removing any frosting that had gotten on her muzzle while eating, but I stopped her before she could do so. "Here let me get it for you," I grasped her hand that had the napkin in it gingerly and took it in my own and leaned in to get the offending confectionary off of her pristine coat. That is until I moved the napkin to the side and instead, I licked some of the frosting off her cheek when I was close enough. To say that her face was red would be an understatement. Her face was crimson like an apple; the most beautiful apple of the bunch, though. Celestia shot her hands up to the sides of my muzzle and brought her lips crashing into my own. After what felt like years, she pulled away. "Ever since you came the day you showed up, you had me confused and flustered all at once, and I hadn't felt like a regular mare until you spoke those words to me." 'Ummm, damn son' "If you really want to prove to me that you think I'm beautiful," She looked me straight in the eyes. "then prove it." 'Uhhhh, wow...what...the...frick...just happened...wait why am I asking, she just asked you to prove it to her,' I turned to follow her upstairs to my room. 'and boy am I gonna' prove it.' ~~~~ Hahaha I guess all my friends had a good day today, huh?[/color Yup, Misty met the good ol' Doc, Bass got Trixie to come over and hang out with him, and Draco...well, I think it's safe to assume that, that won't be in this story. Yeah, that's a bit to colorful to be in this particular story, after all, it is rated teen, not mature, so if you guys want to see what happens between those two will have to wait for the side stories that have the more, *ahem* mature material in them. Makes sense, after all, don't want to go try to push the limits of how mature you can get with it right? Yeah, I'd rather not get it flagged for it being too adult. Mmm, right then, well, if you guys liked this chapter then get ready for the next chapter. Yeah, you'll witness Cobolt here having to walk in on the weirdest scene possible since getting to Equestria. Well, it looks like my fate is sealed. Oh well, I guess it couldn't get that weird right? You're just going to have to find out there bud. Wonderful. Well I think it's time to say goodbye for now, and until next time. This has been Cobolt Soundwave, sounding off. This has been Cobolt Soundwave, sounding off. > "I'm Hom-What the Heck!?" > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Oh hey cool it's back to me now. Okay, anyway, so Dash and I were just chilling out on her couch, just listening to some music. I'm pretty sure we fell asleep because when I opened my eyes it was not six o'clock when I closed them. We got back here at like, I want to say just after two o'clock maybe? Though I wasn't sure since we just came back here after finishing lunch, plus that pie put me to sleep I think. Dash was so adorable when she slept. I think what woke me up was the fact that the sun was just at that point where it wasn't setting, but it was just high enough to peak through your window and hit you with a beam of sunlight. What was that called again? Oh yeah I think it's called twilight hour...hehee, twilight hour; I wonder if that's the time of day Twilight kind of controls. I should ask her about that. "Mmmmm," 'Oh well, I guess my inner monologue will have to wait for some other time.' I thought to myself as Dash stirred awake. "Mmmhey, wassime it?" She slurred out. 'Yup, adorable when she sleeps.' "It's six o'clock right now. "Mmmm." Dash just hummed out again before nestling herself back into my chest. "Hey Dash you hungry?" Before she could answer me herself, her stomach did it for her. *Grrrrrrr* Dash lazily opened her eyes and looked at me with a small grin gracing her muzzle. "Yeah, just a little." "Haha alright, hey you wanna' come over or dinner? I could make something for us." "Alright, just let me wake up first. I dun' wanna' move yet." "Hmmm, okay, five more minutes than." I said with a smile on my face as I leaned back into the couch again and closed my eyes, as Dash rested her head on my chest with her arm wrapped around mine. ~~~~ It took a lot longer than five more minutes since we kind of feel asleep again for another twenty minutes. When we woke up we just got up stretched and left her house for mine. Upon entering the house I call out to see if anyone else was home. "I'm hom - what the heck!?" I didn't even get halfway with calling out before Celestia, wearing an oversized shirt, walked down the stairs stretching and with a happy grin on her face. "Uhhhhh," Was all I could say because my brain had shut down; looking to my left it looks like Dash wasn't fairing any better either. "Buuuu-wha?" Dash mumbled out, and that seemed to grab Celestia's attention. She stopped mid stretch and looked to her left to see us staring at her with our mouths agape. "H-Hello there." Dash and I were still too shocked to say anything, which it was good, and bad, that the front door decided to open again revealing a tired looking Misty. "You would not believe the day I had, I was with the Doctor and...Celestia...Celestia is standing...in the middle of the stairs...with nothing but a shirt...*sigh* I'm to tired to ask right now. I'm going to my room." She passed Celestia, who hadn't moved an inch yet, on the stairs and muttered a simple hi, which Celestia returned before Misty walked away and the sound of her door opening and closing could be heard. "Well...ummm, are you staying for dinner Celestia?" I asked, the most likely naked princess, as I made my way to the kitchen to start on the cooking to tonight's dinner. "Ummm, I think I'll ju-eep!" Celestia squeaked out when Draco walked up behind her and smacked her on her flank, causing her to grab the offending area. "Of course she'll stay - right Celly?" Draco said, coming out of his room finally. "I, ummm, I suppose so," Celestia said as she turned to go back up the stairs. "If you'll excuse me - I need to...get changed." "You can take some of my stuff if you want Celly." Celestia just nodded and continued on her way. I on the other hand, was busy making dinner...which I may or nay not know how to make by myself. "You have no clue what you're doing, do you?" "Uhhhhhhh...no?" "I thought so, step aside buster, Let me handle this." Dash said before playfully pushing me out of the way and began to try her way. ~15 minutes later~ "Uhhmmm," Okay, so let me fill you in on what you missed. Dash, after promptly nudging aside, starting cooking. Now earlier I said she tried to cook. I meant it. She starting putting everything into the pan...everything. She put the noddles, the sauces, the vegetables and last but not least...more sauce. Why? Because she thought it needed about *ahem* "twenty percent more sauce." Yeah, you can imagine what it looked like. "Dash?" "Yeeeeeessssss?" "You have absolutely no idea what you are doing...do you?" "Not a clue." "*Sigh* So...take-out? Because this doesn't look like Chineighes food, at all." "Yeeaahh, I'll get the menu." Dash said sulkily as she walked over to look for a menu with me following right behind her. She was looking through a drawer when I snuck up behind her and hugged her, making her gasp a little in surprise. "Hey, it's fine, look I had now fricking clue what I was doing either so come on, cheer up." Dash leaned her head into my shoulder and looked at me sideways. "I know, but I just...messed it up. We could have found a recipe but I had to screw it up...and it doesn't even look like food anymore, just a mass of crap." Almost as if the universe hated me, Draco walked into the kitchen and saw the pan that held the goop the was once food. "HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF HAMSTER BALLS WHAT THE HECK IS THAT!?" And on cue, Dash wriggled out of my bug and stormed off into the living room where she plopped down on the couch with her arms crossed and a frown on her face. I turned to look at Draco who just had a look of "Whoops" Written all over his face. "Nice dude *sigh* hey, do me a favor," I grabbed the phone and menu off the counter and handed them to him. "call this place and order some food would ya', I have to go and see how Dash is doing." "Uhhh, yeah, sure, I got this." I walked over to Dash and sat down next to her, putting an arm over her shoulder. Dash was hugging a couch pillow close to her and leaned into me. "Was it really that bad?" "Well, you did add like way too much soy sauce, but I think I would have messed it up pretty bad too so don't worry about it." Dash sighed and seemed to lighten up a bit, and then we heard Celestia, who we had no idea had come downstairs, yell. "Draco that wasn't nice!" She then came back out from the kitchen and looked at us. "I'm sorry for that." "Naw, it's okay Celestia, I kinda' made inedible goop, so no biggy." "Heck, I'll be honest, I didn't think that it could turn all...uhhh, what's the word...help me out here Dashie." Dash blushed at the use of her nickname in front of Celestia, since I was using it as a term of endearment. "Uhh, like quicksand?" "Yeah, like that...I think the spoon might still be in there," Dash looked at me, giggling all the while. "ahhh well, I can just get another one...and another pan too, cause' I think that one is done for." Draco popped his head out of the doorway after a few seconds. "Hey uhhh, sorry 'bout that Dash - oh and Bolt," He pulled the pan with the spoon buried in the goop. "what'dya want me to do with this?" "Uhhhh, probably just toss the entire thing out...that's done bro." I finished with a chuckle, which he coupled with his own. "Dude I can hold it by the spoon, bro look'it." He started laughing when he grabbed the spoon and held it above his head. Dash and I laughed at his antics as well, which only escalated to full blown rofl's...Yes I said rofl's, heck even Celestia was laughing pretty hard. See the spoon actually snapped in half right above his head and goop, which we had thought was solid was just a thick layer of hardened and burned food with actually goopy food under it. It broke open upon hitting his head and completely showered him with food stuff. "I'm-I'm s-s-so, ahahaahahaha! I can't, I can't." Celestia said pushing Draco back to his room catching any remaining food from falling on the way there, all the while still laughing her royal head off. Dash was even worse, I swear I thought I would have to give her CPR...I wouldn't have minded, just give me a reason to kiss her. "Ow, ow, ow, my stomach, hahahaha, oh my gosh, that was funny, oh man I haven't laughed that hard in a while." "Oh man that was hilarious." "Yeah, haha, I got covered in whatever it was that Dash created," Draco said as he came back down the stairs in a new set of clothes with Celestia right behind him still giggling slightly. "Princess chuckles here hasn't stopped gigglin' yet." "I'm sorry but when you aren't on the receiving end of a prank from your sister after a while you tend to laugh when it happens to somepony else." Celestia said with a chocked back giggle. Draco just rolled his eyes at her. "You're lucky your good in bed Celly." "Hmmph, and here I thought it was because you liked me for who I was." Said Celestia with a faux pout on her muzzle, which was quickly removed by Draco booping her on the nose, making her scrunch up her muzzle. "Stop that." She said. "Hmm, make me Princess." Draco said back to her. Celestia promptly wrapped in a hug, followed by a wing hug. "Well I could always-" *Ding-Dong* "I'll get it." I said, as I stood up and grabbed some bits from the counter next to the door. When I opened the door the colt delivering the food looked inside and did a double-take when he saw Celestia hugging my friend. Well hey when you have a job as a delivery man you tend to see some weird stuff, so this wasn't all too bad. "Uhhhh," "This is not the Princess." I said waving two fingers in front of the colt's face. "Wha?" he said sounding really confused, obviously not getting my star wars reference. Man, these guys were deprived the most awesome movies ever. "Here, there's a ten bit tip there for you. You saw nothing." I said as I took the bag of food from his hands, and placing the money in his outstretched hand. "Yeah, I saw nothing...uhhh, have a nice night." The Teen colt said before I closed the door and walked into the kitchen and placed the food down on the table. "Hey Dash can you help Draco get this ready while I go get Misty and Bass?" "Sure, I got it, come on dude don't slack off." "Hey, at least I'm not ja-" "Don't finish that sentence." Dash said as she pointed a fork at him, or more specifically his crotch. "Uhhh, nope, I'm good." He said before he went back to set the food. After staying to listen to them mess around, which was funny by the way, and I really hope she wouldn't actually hurt the poor sod. I walked upstairs and knocked on Misty's door. "Hey Misty, we got food downstairs, so whenever you're feeling hungry come on down to eat kay'." Misty opened the door a few seconds afterwards looking like that had just woken up, when she yawned, only making my suspicion right. "Alright, I'll be down in a few, just woke up from a nap." "Alright then, I'll see you downstairs." "Mmm." She nodded and closed the door again, leaving me to chuckle to myself since her mane looked funny from having bedhead. Next I went to Bass's room and saw the door half open, so I walked over to it and opened it, the door not making a sound at all, I took one step in and stopped, quickly getting a big grin on my face. Inside was Bass and Trixie currently in the middle of getting to know each other very well. It was a no more than a few seconds later that Dash made her way upstairs and found me by the door leaned up against it. She stepped closer and peeked inside and made an 'oh' face and just looked at me. I just kept on smiling and pulled her closer, putting an arm over her shoulder. "Hey you two, got room for two more?" I called out, making Trixie pull away from their kiss suddenly and gasp. "Wha-what are y-you doing in h-here?" She asked me with a blush much darker than before. "Well, it is my house...well technically my, bass's, Draco's and Misty's house, but you get the picture. Oh yeah, plus there's dinner downstairs, so if you too aren't too full from eating each others face, foods ready." I said leaving the room with Dash under my arm. When we made it back to the kitchen Dash and I were giggling and chuckling, which made Celestia and Draco ask us what was so funny. "Ohh, nothing," "Just ask the two love birds when they come downstairs." Finished Dash. We sat down and waited for the rest of my friends to show up, which wasn't too long since Bass and Trixie, followed by Misty, came into the kitchen. "So, what were you two up to upstairs, huh?" Asked Draco. Bass sort of just leaned back and grinned, while Trixie's face got bright red. "Uhmm, we were, uhhh." Trixie stuttered out. "Suckin' face?" Asked Draco with the biggest shit-eating grin. Which only served to make Trixie bury her face in he hands and place her head on the table. "Whmm mmm?" Trixie asked, which is translated to "Why me?". "Awww come on Trixie, it's not like were doing anything else right?" Bass decided to add in. "Yes, but it wasn't you who was sitting on top of you, was it?" Trixie said picking her face up off the table, but very quickly realized what she said and put her head back down with a groan. "Welp...let's eat." I said. "What'd I miss?" Misty asked, obviously very confused. "Oh, not much really, just that it seems our friend bass here is with Trixie now. Not sure when it happened, but, ehhh, doesn't matter. Let's eat." I said once more, before we all dug in. Of course I went for what was this places kung pao with out the chicken of course. While I was eating it I noticed that Trixie, Celestia and Dash were looking a bit ahhhh...distressed. "Hey, you three all right?" I asked as I looked at all of them individually. "I'm-" Dash was cut-off by a small coughing fit. "I'm fine." she finished, although with a small wavering in her voice. "Ya' sure, cause it seems you can't deal with spicy food...also I don't you're supposed to eat the dried peppers in it...I would know." Trixie, Celestia and Dash all jut looked at me with a "are you serious" face. "Lemme guess, you've been eating those horribly dry peppers that they put in there to make it spicy...weren't you?" They nod and then Celestia spoke. "I don't get out much." I snrk'd at that and covered my mouth with my hand. "I'm sorry, it's just that, I think I should have told you girls that you didn't have to eat those. Also this is already really spicy so I can't imagine how hot it is for you three." "Probably really spicy." Added Misty. "Yeah, oh my gosh, I remember the first time I ate this. I took all the peppers in it and put them with my food. I couldn't feel my tongue. Not even milk helped to get rid of the feeling of my tongue being on fire." Now that got Dash laughing. "Hahaha, nice *ahem* argh, my mouth still burns." "Maybe eat something else, not spicy?" I half asked half suggested. "Yeah, good idea." Dash said before she went for the lo-mein. "So, Misty what was that you were saying about the doctor earlier?" Her ears twitched when I asked her that. "Oh," Misty put her fork down and swallowed what food she had in her mouth before speaking again. "He took me to his shop and showed me around. It was nothing special really; just a bunch of glass things, oh, he blows glass, obviously. So we walked around inside his shop for a bit until he took me to the backroom. Draco I hear you snickering over there, don't make me have to slap you right in the mug ya' wanker," "Haha, sorry, minds being dirty." "What else is new." I add in. "Haha, ya' know it." "*Ahem* Can I continue please?" "Sorry, go ahead." "Right, well, as I was saying, he took me to the backroom and he showed me something covered in a tarp. It looked like a big box." I went wide-eyed. "No...way." "Yes," She said, looking me dead in the eye. "he pulled the tarp off, and what I saw blew my mind. It was a blue police box, and to make it better, he actually asked if I wanted to go inside. Well, I was a bit hesitant at first, but when I finally got in, it was-" "Bigger on the inside?" I finished for her, which she just nodded in response. "That's awesome. So what, you gonna' be going on adventures with him?" asked Draco as he ate a dumpling. "No, actually he asked me if I'm free this Saturday. He wants to take me to see some movie that's coming out." "So, like a date?" I asked. Misty got a bit flustered, as she rubbed the back of her neck. "I mean, I guess it could be a date between friends...maybe? I'm not sure what it is, since we only just met, but if he wants to take me to see a movie, why not?" "Good point, well, you two lovebirds got any plans?" I turned to Bass and Trixie, who was looking considerably more her normal color now. "Well, I mean it's gettin' late now so Trixie can stay the night I suppose, but tomorrow, I'm not really sure. I guess we'll think of something." Bass said. "Oh, that's right, just let me let Gilda know where I am." Trixie said as she pulled her phone out. Speaking of which, I finally got a new phone for here...well, that was of topic. moving on. ~~~~ We finished eating and put all the plates in the sink for somepony to wash them...guess who...if you guessed me, then, ding ding ding, you are correct sir or madam. It never bothered me, doing dishes I mean. I kind of just stand there listening to music while I do them usually. This time I was listening to The Covenant by Droptek. I was busy moving to the music as I washed the dishes, one by one putting them into the dish rack on the counter to dry off. I didn't hear Dash sneak up behind me when she poked my sides, making he damn near send a plate to Luna's moon. "HOLY PENIS WAFFLES!" I say some weird stuff when frightened. "What?" Dash asked, trying not to laugh at my absurd saying. "You scared the freaking crap outta' me Dashie." I said actually panting a bit from my scare. "You alright there? All I did was poke you." "Yeah, I know, but I didn't hear you come in." "Well, you had your music going pretty loud, so I didn't have to try that hard." "Well...ahhh, whatever, help me out will ya' Dash. I wanna' get to bed soon," I said before a yawn escaped me. "I'm beat." I started handing off plates for Dash to dry when I started feeling something brushing against my leg. When I glanced down, I saw it was Dashs tail just brushing against my leg. It was such a simple little thing, yet, here I was getting a little bit...excited by it? Well, this is different. The times that Dash and I have been really close, like spend minutes kissing on the couch close, I'm not sure Dash has ever been this...what's the word...flirty, I guess? "All done now, all dry." "Alright, that's done then." I said, turning to place the wet towel on the rack to dry over night. "Comina' bed?" "Hmm?" I asked, not hearing her. "Oh, don't worry, you will be soon." What? What did she just say. Brain, please help. Sorry, you're on your own, I just exploded. Gotta' re-boot. Okay, let's see. Dash just made a sexual joke...at you...talking about...yeah. I think...I think... "Hey, you coming Bolt?" She giggled afterwards, but her giggle sounded different, more... I stayed stunned for a few more seconds, until my brain finally un-froze. "Uhh, y-yeah, b-be there in a sec." Oh man, Draco, I just might be putting some of you advice to use tonight...if what I think is going to happen...happens. I made my way up the stairs behind Dash as she playfully brushed her tail in my face, further making me blush. "This is going to be a long night. No sleep for me tonight." > Stream Time, Scream Time > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up the next morning with Dash in my arms, still held in my grasp. I looked around the room with my groggy and tired eyes, remembering what had transpired the night before, and I still couldn't believe that 'that', actually happened, that's not to say that I didn't like it, because I did. I'm glad that it all actually happened, No idea what brought on the whole "let's do it." thing last night, but right now...I couldn't care less. I stayed there for a few more minutes before my stomach let me know that it needed sustenance with a growl. I looked down to see if Dash was stirring, which she was not, and I attempted to move and get out of bed without waking her, which was easier said then done. Dash Grabbed my wrist just as I was about to leave the bed and I nearly freaked out because I wasn't looking behind me so I thought she woke up. I turned my head and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding when I saw that she was still asleep, just holding on to my arm was all. I managed to sneak a pillow into her grasp and she released me long enough to fall flat on my ass and knock into the nightstand, jostling everything. I looked up in time to see the lamp that was on it fall and head straight on a crash course for the floor, so I shot out my hand in time to catch it. I set it back down on the night stand and picked up my underwear from the floor and grabbed a pair of shorts from the drawer and left the room. I passed the other rooms and saw that one of the doors was slightly ajar, so I went over to close it, but when I did I saw that my friend Misty, who's room it was that I was closing, was half hanging off the bed and lightly snoring.I really had to hold my muzzle otherwise I would have laughed reeeeaaaalllly hard. I closed the door and basically sprint tip-hoofed down the hall and jumped off the top of the stairs and flapped my wings once to land softly at the bottom of the stairs, where I walked over to the couch and grabbed a pillow and promptly laughed into it. After I had my laugh my stomach reminded me why I woke up in the first place. I walked into the kitchen and made my way over to the refrigerator and looked around a bit for something to eat. I found a some peppers and onions and just stood there thinking until I remembered something. 'I have frozen potatoes.' I opened my freezer and took out both bags of frozen 'hashbrowns' and put the rest of the stuff on the counter. I took out a pan and put oil into it and started chopping up the peppers and onions and put them into the pan and turned the stove on. Now if you're smart, which I was not at the moment, you would have put a shirt on...like I said I was not smart, I was hungry. As I was cooking the veggies in the pan a piece of pepper made a big sizzle which made a few droplets of oil splash up and out of the pan...and right onto my chest. "Jävla! Chi kishou!" I wiped my chest to get the oil off, even though I know it wasn't gonna' do anything, still it felt better then just knowing the oil was still there. While I was doing this Dash had somehow gotten into the kitchen and I didn't notice. She sneaked up behind me and gave me a surprise hug. Of course I reacted in the appropriate way. "SLUTA!" I shouted and I tensed up, my wings tried to shoot open in reaction to my surprise, but were pinned to me from her hug. "Jeez, calm down Sound, it's just me." Dash said, trying to rest her muzzle in the crook of my neck. "Why do you have to be so tall?" She said; I could almost feel her pout when she said that. "What? I'm only like five-eight, five-nine." "I'm five-three! Way shorter then you!" I turned around and hug her again. "Well at least I can do this." I leaned down and kissed her, all the while the food is still on the stove-top. I remembered all of two seconds later. "Oh, Jävla! The food!" I took the spoon from the counter and moved the peppers and onions and dumped a bag of potatoes into it and stirred it again before covering it. "Phew, that was close, I thought I burned the stuff." Dash looked at me funny. "What exactly are you making? It looked like you just dumped a bunch of frozen potatoes in a pan." I walked over and hugged her again and kissed her forehead. "That's 'cause I did love." I said with a mock British accent that I'm sure Misty would tell me sucked. "So you're just making potatoes?" "Not just potatoes Dashie, potatoes with peppers and onions. Trust me you'll like it, I used to eat it all the time back home." When I said that Dash saw my eyes widen a bit and my ears twitch. "You okay there?" "Hmm, oh...yeah, totally fine." I let her go to go back to cooking but stopped. "Actually could you watch this for me...I kind of need a shirt." "Yeah, sure, I got this." Dash started to move the food around a bit. "Go get a shirt on ya' big dummy." I chuckled going up the stairs and back to my room. I grabbed a grey camouflage button up and a white undershirt and put them on. "Hmmm, maybe I should get something other than camo shirts, hehhee." I said coming back downstairs to see Dash putting the other bag in the pan. It was like a wok pan to it was perfect for this; plenty of room. I let out a big yawn and stretched out my arms and wings before speaking. "Aaaahh, How they looking?" "Eeeehh, I dunno, you know how to do this," She said before handing me the spoon. "besides I might burn it." "Oh come on, Dash, that was one time." "It was last night, and you were hungry." "But I-" "No,no buts. The only but I want to hear is yours moving to the chair and sitting down." Dash walked over to the table and sat down and crossed her arms and gave me a lopsided grin. "There, now you can wait for your breakfast, after all I did promise you that much." "Hmm, yeah, you did didn't you. Alright, make it quick 'cause I need to...actually I don't have work today." "Cool, so you can spend the whole day with me then, and maybe later I could take you out to lunch." "Haha, I'll hold you to that." Just then a yawning Misty walked into the kitchen. "Morhing, aaaahhh, sorry 'bout that, morning guys." She said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. "Morning." "Morning." "What are you making?" 'Thank you mother' My Ear twitched again. "Food." Misty just shook her head. "Your such a knob." "Eeeehh, you're still my friend." "Only 'cause you have a house we all live in." "Aaaaaaahhh, yeah right." I say chuckling in the end. I was almost finished with the food when the rest of them woke up. "Welcome back from the land of the dead my friends." I said with a decent Prussian accent, which, quite frankly I had no idea I could do. 'Note to self, try out other voice later.' "Morning, de' heck are you making *sniff* it actually smells good." Draco said, walking to the table and sitting down with Celestia following behind with her eyes still holding that sleepy look. "Morning Celestia, you sleep well?" "Coffee." She said groggily. I just chuckled and started making some when she asked, while I finished up the food. It really was nothing special, just some potatoes, or hash-browns if you want to call them that, with peppers and onions, but man did they hit the spot. They were pretty good with black pepper and ketchup. I gave everypony a good amount and we ate. The sound of forks touching plates was the only sound for a while, since most everypony was still sleepy. "*BURP!* Uhhh, heehee, 'scuse me." "Haha, I take it you liked it Dash." Like is probably selling it short since she practically cleaned the plate off without licking it clean. "Well it was pretty simple but," "But it was good?" I asked everypony this time, though, it was more tuned to Dash. I got back a chorus of 'yes's' and 'Mmhmm's' since some of their mouths were full. "It's definitely different from the food the Royal chefs make for my sister and myself...I think I'll have to ask Draco to make it for me." Celestia said, poking Draco in his side. "Yeah, you know, unless he burns it." I said with a big smile on my face, chuckling all the while. "Aaaahhh, screw you blueberry." "Up yours ya' walking sex toy." We stood there in a stare off for all of two seconds before we broke down laughing. "Oh gosh, hahaha, that was funny." "Haha, oh man..." It took us a few more minutes to get the chuckles out. "Okay, I think I'm awake now." "Mmhmm." "Yup." Said Misty and Bass. "You guys got plans for today?" "Yeah, I figured I'd go to Vinyl's store again today." "I think I'll come with you, I need some music to play. I hope they have Green Day." "Well...I guess I know where I'm going today." Draco chuckled as he helped me gather the plates and place them in the sink for, most likely, me to clean them later. "That doesn't sound like a bad idea. I can get an IHoof while I'm there I suppose." That name still make me laugh sometimes, oh well, better then PPhone or PPod, those are just hilarious and I'm glad that's not what they are called otherwise I'd be laughing ever time I say it. "Okay, well, let's get ready and let's head out then." I turned to Dash after Draco said that, walking up the stairs. "You coming Dash?" "Uhhh, yeah sure, why not." We went upstairs and got ready, we were all downstairs and ready fairly quickly, even with Dash accidentally walking in on Misty in the Shower, now that was funny. You could hear her yell "Sorry!" from downstairs and Misty yelp when the door opened. I probably shouldn't have laughed but, hey, it was funny right? So we were ready and waiting for Dash, but when she came downstairs wearing a pair of my pants, which were being held up by her hands by the way, I just looked at her and tried to contain the giggles that tried to escape me. "S-So uhhh, having a little trouble in the pants department are we Dashie?" Dash gave me an adorable pout and looked away, slightly embarrassed with how she had to come downstairs. "Mmmmm, they don't fit and you don't have any belts." She continued to pout until I turned to Celestia who was just about to leave for Canterlot. "Hey, Celestia," She turned upon hearing her name being called. "you uhhh, wanna lend a hand here." I said pointing at the trouser problem that my wonderful marefriend was having at the moment. She nodded and light her horn up and Dash's pants started to conform to her waistline, thus making them fit perfectly without a belt. She also made them shrink down to fit fit her size, since they were a bit long on her too. "Thanks Sunny." I said, which caused Celestia to chuckled and shake her head at my horrible nickname. "Of course, and do figure out a better nickname Bolty." "Ha! You got it Princess toasty buns." That got a good chuckle out of Draco and snicker out of Misty, as well as Dash before Celestia gave me a playful glare and teleported away, back to the castle to do her job of having day court and dealing with the idiots of the nobility and snobs of Canterlot. "Okay, lets go guys." ~~~~ "IIIIIIItt'ssssss hoooooooooooot...soooooooo hoooooooooooot." Draco had been saying that since we got out of the house...if it wasn't for the fact that he was right, I would have smacked him upside the head...'course Dash did remove the shirt she had over her tanktop, so no complaints here. "Draco, please, if you're so hot then why don't you take your shirt off." I heard the sound of a shirt being removed, followed by a happy sigh of relief. "That feels better now." "Draco...I think ponies are staring." "S'all right brother, they just wanna look at all this." Draco flexed and I swear I saw the flower triplets just faint on the spot. Dash laughed, and I think I saw the mayor peeking out from behind the curtains in her office. I got Draco's attention and point him in the direction of town hall's second floor, and when he looked up he winked at the mare, which cause her to panic and fall back to hide herself form view. "Haha, damn Draco." "Yeah, they just be dropping like flys." "Now would you please put your shirt back on." "Awww, why?" Misty looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Do you want to keep your nipples?" Draco looked at Misty's pinching fingers and quickly put his shirt back on. "Good boy." "Eeeehh, didn't want my sexiness distracting everypony." Everypony just rolled their eyes at him. "Alright lets go ya' big ham." Dash gave me a look of confusion. "Saying from back home." Dash made that 'oh' face, which is adorable and I couldn't resist pulling her into a wing hug, which made her blush and grab onto my arm. A few more minutes and we were at the store, you could tell Vinyl was there by the music that was playing inside the store at the time. "Yo, Vinyl!" "Yo, Bolt! Was' good!?" "Not much, just coming by to look some some stuff with my friends...and marefriend." "Yooo! You actually did it, nice Dash!" "I had a feeling one of you girls got her all worked up for her to get so weird like that around me. Eeehh, doesn't matter, guess if it weren't for you we wouldn't be together right now." "Yeah so you owe me...oh! This came in the mail," Vinyl hands me an envolope which had a letter saying the the headphones I had shown her before could be patented and sold to the public. "Since they're your we could-" "Naw, you keep it...you said I owed you right," Vinyl's sunglasses almost fell off her muzzle. "but I guess I could come up with a name...how 'bout Soundwave beats, that sound good." I was expecting something along the lines of 'thank you' but not what happened next. I promptly got hug tackled from across the room. Vinyl jumped over the counter and ran at me and nearly dropped me to the floor in joy. "OhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygoshOhmygosh, thank you so much. This is gonna sooooo help with income with Octy's and my job now. Dude thank you so much!" "Hey, hey yeah, no problem V, I don't need it. Hey, tell ya' what, get yourselves some custom ones, and before you say anything, yes I know Tavi likes your music, get her a pair. I'm getting one myself as soon as they are available." "Uhhh, yeah, about those," Vinyl hops back over the counter and put a small box of the 'new' soundwave beats, which I am still proud that I could come up with a name like that on the spot, and pulled some out. "They sent me some prototypes to just sell have some pony's test them out, so why not you guys?" "Nice." "Sweet, frees stuff!" "That's awesome!" "Hewwll Yeah!" "Sweet!" We all swarmed the box to get ourselves a pair that we liked. "I'll get a Blue one." "I call dibs on the baby blue!" "That green one is mine yo." "Alright, I call the striped one." "Magenta one is mine." After we all finished violating the poor box, which looked like it just got run over, we got our headphones situated around our necks. "Yeah, I ain't ever leaving home without these now." I said grabbing each speaker with my hands. "These things are sweet." I turn to Dash and hand her my phone, she know the lock to it being my MF and all. So she goes to my music and turns it on after plugging in the headphones. "Eeeehh, same thing as my old ones." I just smiled at her, her having never used my old ones, I flip the little switch in the back and watch her face do a one-eighty. "Woah.........sick." "Told'ya." I said with a satisfied grin on my face. "All'a yours do that same thing." "Sweet, kickass bass." "I know right?" said Vinyl. "Hey, I was looking for like music player if ya' had any here. Do ya?" "Yeah, I got some, in the back of the place though...come on." "Hey you guys go and check out what you want, I'll just be in the back." Dash and I followed Vinyl into the back and found her by a wall with a few boxes of IHoofs on the wall. 'Damn I was just joking about the name, hah.' "Okay, this is what I got." I looked for a bit and then I found the beauty that is a Camouflage IHoof. Even found a Wonderbolt's one. "Hey Dash, catch." "Huh, wha!" She catches the box and freaks. "Now way! These things went out of stock like, ages ago! How you get it V!?" "Eeeeeehhh, I have my ways." "Yes you do, and I got the perfect one here." I held up mine. "It would be more camo, wouldn't it?" Dash said jokingly. "Hardy har har, you so funny miss Dash." I retaliated back. Dash just stuck her tongue out at me and blew a raspberry at me. "Careful what you do with that tongue in public Dash." I said with an evil smirk. Dash just narrowed her eyes at me. "Come on, let's go pay for these while the other are still messing around in here." Vinyl goes back behind the counter and rings up both our items. "That's four hundred bits, but I think I can cut you some slack after all you did just give me and Octy another income, sooooo how's two-fifty sound?" "Perfect, and you didn't have to do that." "Ya, you're right, I didn't, but I wanted to so on shoo." She said with her trademark grin. So with IHoof's in hand and headphones around our necks, we want back to find Bass and the rest of them. "Yo, was good bitches!" "Yoooooo, wass goooood my brother from anotha' motha'!" Almost as if we knew exactly what to do next. "You put the pussy on the chainwax!" "You put the pussy on the chainwax!" We were laughing like idiots while Dash an Draco started at us. Misty just smiled and tried 'not' to laugh at our stupidity. "What the heck was that about?" "Oh man, it's just a inside between me and Bass here. You didn't see it so it's hard to explain." Dash just shrugged. "Whatever dude, all I'm saying is that this," She pointed to herself. "is not going on a chain...I don't do that." I put my hands up in defense. "Hey, I wasn't planning on it If that's what you were thinking." "Good, ain't no rope touching this body." I leaned in close to her ear and just barely brushed it with my muzzle making her shiver. "How do you know you won't like it, hmm?" She shivered again and practically bounded across the room with her wings twitching. "NOPE!" That got Bass, Draco, V and me laughing, heck even Misty was have a good giggle out of it. "I'll get you back for that." Dash said with a pout. "Awww, come on, I'm sure I can make it up to you." I said pinching her sides, making her giggle." "Aaah! Stop that!" Dash shrieked out, though she realized what she had done immediately. "Don't you even thing about it mister." "Wouldn't dream of it." I said looking up at the ceiling with and innocent smile. "Hey, Bass, Why don't you see if you can get a job here?" Said Misty. "Huh, that's not a bad idea. Hey Vinyl!" "Yeah!?" "You got a spot for me to work here?" Vinyl grinned and pointed at him with a gloved hand. "You start next week, nine A.M., don't be too late." Bass turned back around and looked at us. "Piece a' cake." "Yeah yeah yeah, good job, you got a job." I said with a slight chuckle. "Oh yeah, hey Vinyl, you doing a gig anytime soon?" "Uhhhmmm...hmmmm, oh yeah, I got one here in ponyville sometime next week, why?" "Need help?" Vinyl was going to say something, but I cut her off. "He's made music before and it's good, he could be your assistant." I said while pushing him in front of her. "Eeeehhh, why not, sure you can come help." "Sweet, alright, you know where yo find me." "Yeah, bummin' it at my house." "Pfft, please, I do work son." "Ha!" "You two are so weird." "Awwww, come on, that's why you're our friend right Mist?" Misty just rolled her eyes and laughed. "Yeah, yeah." We left shortly after that and were heading back towards the market area. "Hey, I'm getting hungry, you guys want to get something?" Everypony else gave me something in the sorts an 'okay' or 'sure', so we went looking for a diner. On our way there we turned a corner and Dash and I bumped into somepony, knocking us all down. "Uggghh, sory 'bout thaaaahahaha DASH! Look!" "Huh, wha.........Oh my gosh...ohmygosh...ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh it's Spitfire and Soarin! *Squee*" "Oh, hey...Rainbow Dash, how's it been?" Dash was currently too busy being the fangirl she was to answer, so I figured I'd take it into my hands to answer for her. "She's been doing fine, she's uhhh, just a little starstruck, as you can see. Yoo-hoo, Dash, helllllloooooo you in there?" "Huh, wha, uhhhh heehee, sorry 'bout that. It's just-" "She's one of your biggest fans." I cut in. "Y-Yeah." Spitfire and Soarin just giggled/chuckled in tandem. "It's fine, we get that a lot." "Yeah, you get used to it." "I guess so...I dunno, not sure if being famous is all that it's cracked up to be really." I said, seemed to get their attention. "Why do you say that?" Asked Spitfire. "Eeeehhh, fame can destroy you or make you. Sometimes it brings out the worst in pony's, or it could make them want to give back to the public...like you two and the rest of the Wonderbolts." "Yeah, I know some pony's who have let the fame get to them, some actors are a bit uhhh," "Dickish?" "Yup." Spitfire responded. "Hey, so, my marefriend here and I, along with my friends, were just going to go eat. You wanna join us, if you're not busy I mean, if not that's cool." Spitfire and Soarin looked at each other before both saying at once. "Sure." "Great, You two know anywhere good? Haven't really gone anywhere else but Burger Princess." "Yeah, there this great place just down here, come on I'll show ya'." "Alright, lead on then." ~~~~ Ten minutes later and we were there. The Café Relic. Nice place, small, but very nice. they had a lot of good stuff there. Wraps and sandwich's, burgers and pizza, and don't forget about the dessert's, Soarin was practically drooling over the pies in here. "Easy there Rin, easy, they ain't going anywhere." "Haha, so you like pies Soarin?" I chuckled. "Their apple pies are some of the best here, but nothing beats the apple family's pies...ever." "They're the best." "Oh, I can second that." Dash said that with her mouth watering slightly. I moved my hand under her jaw and pushed it back up, which made her realize how silly she looked just then and made her blush lightly. "Awwww, is my little Dashie embarrassed?" She gave me a pout and crossed her arms. "You know I think to myself sometimes how it was that I feel for you." " 'cause I'm so charming and good-looking?" "Pfft, haha, you are so bad, you know that." "The worst." I said, and them wrapped my wing around her. When I looked back up I saw the two Celebs. staring at me. "What's the mat...oh right, my wings...right?" Spitfire nodded. "Damn dude, your wings are pretty...uhhh, pretty big I mean." "Haha, easy there sally, I'm taken. But if my marefriend allows it you can get involved." I said with the biggest grin I could muster, because the looks I got from Spitfire and the looks I'm sure Dash was giving me were priceless. "Uhhh, I uhhh..." "Hahahahaha, I'm kidding, kidding, just a jo-OW! Geez, Dash I was joking, hahaha...unless you-" "Hold it right there buster, only I get to decide that," Dash looks Spitfire up and down. "although." Spitfire almost spit her drink out, but swallowed and started coughing. "Kidding, just kidding, take it easy Spitfire." Dash madly giggled out. "You two are enjoying this aren't you?" Asked a now composed Spitfire. "Maybe." "Maybe." "Then again." I pretended to start again. "Nope, shuttin' that down right now." That got everypony to laugh at the table, including Spitfire. "Okay, that was a good one I'll give ya' that." There was a bit of silence before I spoke again. "Hey, you two are in town, are you on break or something?" "Yeah, we are, we have a bout a month before we start with practice's again." Said Spitfire. "Yeah and it's great to go around a actually hang around for once." Added Soarin. "Yeah, I know what you mean. School and such, once you finish with it it's like...damn...free time all day, every day." "Mmhmm." Said Misty. "It's nice, you can do what you want, it's nice." "Wait you got out of school? how old are you?" "Ya, I never really asked you either. Just how old are you anyway?" Asked Dash. "Well, last I checked I was nineteen." Dash and the Wonderbolts got quiet. "What?" "Your nineteen?" Asked Spitfire. "Uhhh, yeeeeaaaahh, why? Your not gonna tell me you're like thirty or something are you, 'cause if you are then damn, you still look good for thirty." "No,I'm only twenty-five, Soarin's twenty-four." "And I'm twenty-two." Added Dash to the conversation. "Well now I feel like a child, man, I'm supposed to feel old then when I hit thirty, want to feel young again, not the other way around, geez, you three make me feel like a child again. I mean Misty over there is only fifteen, Bass is twenty-two and Draco...well that's still a mystery." "And it's staying that way." He said with a grin. "Wow." Dash said. "Oh come on, I ain't young, and you ain't old, you're only twenty-two. give me another year and in December I'm twenty." "Eeehh, doesn't matter, you're mine." Dash said, hugging me." "As are you...little Rainbow." "Hey, just 'cause your 5'9" and I'm 5'3" doesn't make me little." she said with a pout yet again. "No, it makes you cute and adorable." I said as she turned her head. I just kissed her head and rubbed her shoulder. Just as we were about to get out an leave, a stallion walked thru the doorway. Something just scream 'asshole' about this guy, and wouldn't ya' know it, I was right. "YO SWEETCHEEKS, HOW'S ABOUT YOU GET ME SOME OF YOUR SWEET PIE!" The mare behind the counter just groaned and facepalmed. "How many times do I have to tell you to leave and never come back before you listen?" "Awwww, come on sweetheart, you know you like me, why deny it." "Oh for the love of, listen, I won't ask again. Leave. Now." "I ain't leaving without you this time sweetie, now come one, what say you come back to my place and ditch work huh?" Okay I couldn't deal with this guy anymore, I had to do something about it, and it seems that Draco had the same idea as me since he got up too and made our way over to him. "Hey, asshole!" "The mare said to leave. So leave punk!" He turned around to face us. "Hey, fuck off, this is my mare, go find your own slut to fuck!" I'm pretty sure my eyes went cold. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY LITTLE BITCH!" Draco was just as mad as me, though he didn't say anything. "You wanna go, cause I'll fuck you up in two seconds! Let's go!" Five minutes later, a broken chair, a broken stool and one semi-conscious asshole later, and me and Draco were tossing his sorry hide out the door. The patron in the place were cheering us on for finally getting rid of that pain in the arse. "AND IF I EVER SEE YOU COME AROUND HERE AGAIN 'IMMA SKIN YA' ALIVE YA' HEAR ME PUNK!" "Get the fuck outta' our sight before we really have to brake you." Draco said in a much lower but just deadly tone. Said asshole managed to pick himself up and run away from us, unsure if we were gonna follow him to proceed to kick his ass some more. We walked back to the table and as I passed the counter I stopped to talk to the mare. "Hey, sorry 'bout the mess. I'll pay for the broken stuff," I riffled thru my pocket and found some silver bits. "Here ya' go. I hope that's enough." The mare took the bits and put them to the side. "Thank you, and thank you for getting rid of him finally. I swear he just wouldn't take a hint that stupid bastard! It was starting to get really annoying. I thought I was gonna have to call the guard to deal with him." "Think nothing of it, have a good day miss-" "Cocoa Waffle." just then a Mare walked into the place and called out to her. "Hey, 'splosion!" Cocoa put her head to the counter. "Heeeeeyy, minty." She said back to her friend. "She likes to call me that for my brown patches in my fur. "looks like I had cocoa explode all over you" she says." "Sooooo, Cocoa-" "Don't say it!" "-'splosion?" "......you did it...mmmmm." She put her head back down on the counter. "Heehee, she hates it when I call her that." "I can see that. You and her close?" "Oh yeah, we met a few years back, we've been good friend ever since." "Yup, I met her when I first came here, best friends ever since, just she can be a bit, uhhh." "Energetic?" "Yup!" Answered Minty. Cocoa rolled her eyes at her friend. "Hey, I'll see you later then, I gotta' get back to my friends." "Okay, thanks again and bye." "Bye!" They both waved as I walked away. "Alright, let's pay and get outta' here guys." They got up and we left some bits on the table to pay for our lunch. As soon as we got outside Dash poked me in the side. "Where'd you learn to fight like that? And you too Draco." "Oh, well, I took some self-defense classes and Draco over there knows Muay Thai and some other type as well, can't really remember what it was." "Yup, my old instructor used to make us use coconuts for replacement heads, since they are very close to the density of a skull." "I still think that's a bit fucked up but hey, whatever works I guess." "Eeeeehh," Draco shrugged his shoulders. "it only sent me to the hospital a couple of times, no big deal." "You instructor must have been crazy then." Said Spitfire. "Naw, he was just old fashioned, he did everything the old way. Hey, it worked didn't it?" "I'll say, the way you two kicked his ass around the place was something of a sight to see." "He called my marefriend a whore." "He did know you were with her." Said Soarin. I Kept looking forward, never looking back or sideways. I just breathed in deeply a few times and calmed myself. "Okay...better now. I very rarely get like that, so I'm sorry if that was a bit over the top to some of you. That guy just really ticked me off." "Well, I wanted to kick his ass too you know." Misty said. "Yeah I can tell, don't worry, if he comes back around you'll get dibs on him first." Misty just nodded, but said nothing else. "Hey! Hey you! The uhhh, the Zebra, hey wait up!" Draco turned around so see a Teal Pegasus mare jogging up to us. She had a silver mane and her wings feathers also had a bit of a silver touch on the ends of them and a piercing in her left ear near the tip. "Hey *gasp* I was wondering *pant* if you *gasp* wanted a job *pant* as a bouncer at my club, because, pheeww, wow I need to run or fly more, because I have a spot open for a bouncer at the moment." I looked at Draco and smiled. "My friend might be interested in that." "I used to be a bouncer before I ended up leaving. Sure I could take the spot." "Sweet, thanks, I have somepony coming in at midnight to take your spot for the early morning hours. Oh and you come in at eight to twelve, is that fine?" "Yeah, totally. When do I start?" "Next week today if you can." "Sure thing. I'll be there." "Great, thanks. I'll see you there, oh and my name is Silver Wing." The mare flew off leaving us in silence again for a bit. "Well, looks like you got a job too, Draco." "Yup, and it's something I know how to do well." "And that is?" Asked Spitfire. "Keep the assholes from getting in and toss the drunks out, and occasionally kick somepony's ass." "Huh, well then." "Hey, you two like what you do right? Well this is what he does." "Hey, no judging here." Said Soarin." "You guys are some of the most laid-back Celebrities I have ever met." "Hey, just because we're famous doesn't mean we have to be asses." "And that's why you guys are awesome." I said with a small grin. Spitfire looked at Soarin and then back to me and Dash. "How would you two like to get V.I.P. tickets to the first show of our season?" "YES! Uhhh, I mean yes, that would be awesome." "She excited if you guys couldn't tell." The duo laughed and then told us that they would mail the tickets to the address I gave them. "Well, that was pretty awesome." "Oh my gosh, yes! We get to go to the first show aaaaaaand we get V.I.P. tickets! How awesome is that...your awesome!" Dash yelled before glomping me. "Well, it was really them who said they were going to give us the tickets, not me. Besides I'm pretty sure V.I.P. passes mean backstage as well." I don't think Dash's eyes could have gotten any wider. She really put on the squeeze this time and actually fangirl screamed into my ear...which is now deaf by the by. I winced and I could feel Misty, Bass and Draco wince as well, and it seems Dash noticed too 'cause she grabbed my shoulders and leaned back to look at me rubbing my ringing ear. "Oh uhhhh, whoops heehee, sorry 'bout that. I got a bit excited heehee." Dash said with the most adorable blush ever. "Awwww, it's fine, don't worry 'bout it. You're happy, so I'm happy...and half deaf... but that's just a minor inconvenience." That bought me an attempted kiss on my injured ear. I say attempted since Dash tried to just get on her tip-hooves and kiss it, but gave up and hover just high enough to kiss it. We were about to keep on walking and go back home, since we all had what we wanted; Dash and I got custom IHoof's, Bass, Misty and Draco got their own stuff, and we all got free headphones to test out. Just then Fluttershy walked by with a few birds and animals walking with her. Most of the animals walking with her on the ground were dogs of various sizes, which Misty took notice of. "Hey, Fluttershy!" Fluttershy's ears twitched and she looked around for the voice until she saw us, or more specifically, Misty who was waving. "Oh, hello there Misty. How are you?" "I'm good. Are you taking care of those animals for some ponies?" "Oh, no, not all of them. Some of these do belong to other ponies, but most of them live back at my cottage with me," Fluttershy bent down and picked up a puppy that gave the cutest face when Misty looked at him. "I was just given this little guy from some family who's dog at some puppies and they needed to give away some because they couldn't take care of all of them, so they gave me one. Isn't he the most adorable thing ever." Misty walked over and tickled the dog's belly. "Awwww, it's so cute!" "Would you like to come back to my cottage? You can have some more time with him if you like." Misty turned around to tell us, but I just waved my hand, telling her go. Misty turned back around and started walking with Fluttershy back to her home with the animals in tow. "Well, before anything else interrupts us, let's go! Allons-y!" "You're weird." Dash said poking me in the ribs. "And you're beautiful, but that's already known. Now let's get going!" ~~~~ Twenty minutes later and a key turn later, and we were inside our home again. "Ugggggh, my hooves are killing meeeeeee." Dash complained as she plopped down on the couch. "Mmmm, I'm going to the basement to get a soda, anypony want one?" "Yeah, get me a Blast." Responded Draco. "Get me one of those red ones or whatever you called it." Said Dash. "Naw, I'm good man, I'll get something else from the fridge bro." "Alright, Bass." I said before going into the basement. I came up no more than a minute later with drinks in hand. "Here you go Draco, and this one's for you Dash." I said as I half tossed them, half passed them. "Thanks Babe." "Yo!" I plopped myself down next to Dash and just occupied my time messing with her mane. Don't judge me, Dash liked it anyway's. I sat there with Dash sipping on her drink and me playing around with her mane when I thought of an idea. "Hey, Dash?" "Yes?" She said, tilting her head back to look up at me. "I was thinking, maybe we could do a stream. Ya'know, play games and stuff." Dash pondered it for a moment. Yes I said pondered, I can be civilized and gentlestallion-ly like whenever I feel like it. Where was I, oh yeah, Dash was pondering it for a bit until she tilted her head back again. "Sure, let's do it, I could do with a bit of gaming." I let Dash get up first and then got up myself. We were halfway up the stair before I realized something. "I don't have anyway to let ponies know I'm gonna' stream right now." "Oh, don't worry I got ya' covered." I just raised an eyebrow before turning and shrugging. "Okay then." We got to my 'office' I guess you can call it, and started setting up, getting controllers connected and the computer turned on, which has a glowy bit inside of it's see-thru exterior, and went to the streaming website. NVidya it was called, weird, wasn't there a graphics cards called NVidia on earth. Anyway, I sat down and started looking for a game to play in my games library. It took me a while, but I finally decided on a game. "Hey Dash could ya get my laptop from over there?" I asked while pointing to the sofa in the room. "Sure, gimme' a sec." Dash replied as she walked over to it and picked it up, and walked back. "Here ya' go." "Actually, open it up and go to the Vapour Launcher," Dash did just that. "here lemme' log into my second account." After logging in I checked the library and surprise surprise, it empty. "Okay, so, hold on lemme' uhhh, lemme' just buy this game again so you can play with me." I spent the next five minutes to buy and begin installing the Payday 2 again on my laptop. "There we go, that should be done in like...ten minutes or so." Dash leaned back into her chair and cracked her knuckles. "Nice!" I looked back to my screen and clicked on the tab for NVidya and I nearly went bug-eyed. "Gooo! Whatta'frick...Where did all you ponies come from...I never even announced that I was streaming...how did you find out?" Dash snickered and I looked over at her. "I told ya' I got it covered. I texted Scoots that you were gonna stream and she went and told everypony she know about it and they told everypony they knew and it went on from there." 'Geez, there's like freaking two-hundred of ya' in here!" "Geez...can you guys hear me? Hold on lemme' plug my headset in, maybe that would help out a bit." I said with a faux condescending tone to myself. "Okay, there we go, NOW can you guys hear me?" The chatbox started filling with responses. ~yes!~ ~Mmhmm.~ ~Yup.~ ~Totally.~ "Okay then. With that out of the way, lemme' juuuuussst, there we go." I turned on my webcam and a few seconds later the stream feedback on my second monitor displayed my face. "Yup, there's my ugly mug, right there on the screen for alla'ya to see." ~You're not ugly.~ ~You're beautiful!~ ~Sooooooooooooo sexy.~ "Okay, ignoring that last comment...already have a marefriend, soooooooooo thank you, but no thank you." "Yeah he's taken!" Dash said, popping into the frame on the webcam for my audience. ~Awwwww.~ ~Good for you XD.~ ~HI DASHIE!~ ~IT"S ME PINKIE!~ "Haha, hi Pinks, how's it going?" ~Good! You?~ "Not bad, not bad at all." ~Hey, Cobolt, It's Ditzy! Sorry I couldn't come over before. I got caught up in something else and I forgot to text you. =(~ "Awwwww, it's totally okay Ditz, you're fine. I ended up getting a bit busy that day myself, didn't really get time for myself 'till nighttime." ~Oh, okay then, hey you gonna play anything good? =P~ "Yes, I'm playing Payday 2 today. Dash Is gonna be playing on my laptop, on my other account, with me and two other random ponies that I choose from the stream chat." ~Ohhhhh.~ ~ Nice, can I play with you Soundwave?~ ~How you gonna' choose?~ "Yes, you can play with me, and I'll be using a number generator to choose. It'll be a number from one to one hundred, so it's pretty simple. Just choose a number and cross you're fingers. It's the way to choose somepony, since I have no control of the number decision." ~Makes sense~ ~69!~ '... I knew that was gonna be there soon." I gave them a tired looking 'really?' face. "You guys...oh my gosh, not even 5 minutes in and I see a sex joke in the chat...*sigh*, lets start the choosing then." ~49~ ~79~ ~25~ ~69~ ~53~ And the list went on and on. "Okay, in three, two, one...the number is...*click* fifty, so that means the whoever said forty-nine wins, since no one said fifty exactly. Just send friend request on Vapour and I'll add you to the game when we get in." ~congratz~ ~nice~ ~*TheExplodingPotato*~ "Hahaha, oh my gosh, that's the best name ever! Okay, I'll add you in a second......okay, done. Next pony for the last spot, here we go...choose." ~1~ ~100!!!!!!!~ ~69~ ~68~ ~67~ ~2~ The list of numbers were a bit smaller this time, but there was still quite a bit. "Okay, choosing in, three, two, one...*click*......" I was having a giggle fit as the number generator picked sixty-nine. "Hahahaha, y-you win, sixty-nine wins, ohmygosh, I can't believe that." ~VICTORY!!!!~ ~hahaha lol~ ~ohmygosh, wow~ "Post the name, and I'll add ya'." ~*Immabee*~ "Really you guys! Really!? Are you doing this on purpose!? Are you just changing your names to make them funny or are you actually called that on Vapour, ohmygosh, okay Lemme add you and then we can go ahead and start." I turned to Dash and looked at the screen. "Okay, my Mf's game finished downloaded and it's just going to to the first time setup. I'll start the game and then add you all and we're just gonna' wait for her to finish it up." Another two minutes and the setup was done. Ultra graphics setting...felt nice, really it did. "Alright we all good now? Let's go ahead and choose a heist then." ~How about a hard bank heist?~ "Okay you good with that potato? Dash?" ~Yup~ "Yea, I'm good to go." "Okay then, let's get started...*click* we are going to get so screwed, we have nothing in terms of armor, no medic or ammo bags, and we all have starter guns...we're so done." I don't know how, but we made it into the vault, albeit very messed up, and managed to get at least a bag of money each. "Okay, potato get the snipers, Dash stay close to me, and bee point out any specials, oh and be careful of cloakers, I hate those sonsabitches." ~cloaker to the right, watch it!~ "Got it, I see him," A short burst of fire and he's down. "got the sucke-awww hell, Dozer incoming, make it across the street, forget the Dozer just go go go!" We made it across the street literally almost all dead from damn sniper fire, but we made it nonetheless. You can hear Chains in the background yell in victory and then it cuts to the spoils screen. "Daaaaaaaaamn, we made out pretty good, and a bunch of level-ups too." "I'm up to level eleven now." Said Dash. "Yeah, same. Hey, guys, we're gonna' switch you out for two other ponies after like two more matches, 'kay?" ~Alright, sounds fair~ ~Alright~ "Okay everypony buy your stuff, get your skills and let's go. Gonna choose the nightclub venue this time. Oh man! I almost forgot the most important thing." "What?" Asked Dash. "Oh, you'll see Dashie, you'll see." I fished through my IPony for the song that I was looking for until I found exactly what I was looking for. "There you are." I said before I tapped the screen and began the most amazing music mix that man has ever created. 'I should show this to Vinyl sometime' *Hi...my name is Fox Stevenson...and this is my mix.* 'Let the amazingness begin' So for two more heist's Dash and I, as well as the stream heard the god given mix that was Fox Stevenson. May the Goddess bless his genius. "Okay, thanks for playing you guys, gotta get some new people up in here. Enjoy the rest of the stream you two." ~Okay, cya~ ~Bye bye~ "Okay, let's do this again." *Fatiing!* I looked down at my phone and saw that it was Gilda texting me. ~What, you start streaming and ya' don't invite me to join in?~ "Haha." I respond back, "Naw, I didn't know if you were busy or not. Wanna join?...Actually come over, and bring over your laptop too, you do have Payday 2 right?" and I sent it. fifteen seconds later my phone went off again. ~Alright, and yeah, I do have it. Games awesome.~ I placed the phone down on the table. "Okay, so another friend is coming over to play with us, so until then we're gonna' just take a small break, like ten to fifteen minute break, so enjoy the music and we'll be right back." Me and Dash got up and stretched, each of our bodies protesting from sitting in the same position for too long. Our joints popping, causing us to let out happy sighs. "Much better." "Yeah, I'll say." Said Dash. Five more minutes passed and then the doorbell rang. "I'll get it Bolt." "DASH OFF!" "THAT WAS SO BAD I'M NOT EVEN GOING TO TRY!" Dash yelled back from downstairs. Dash half-flew to the door ad grabbed the knob. "Yo! Sup!" Said Gilda when Dash opened the door. "Hey Gild's, come on up, we were just waitin' for yeah to start up again." "Cool." I could hear them coming up the stairs, just as I was turning the webcam back own to capture my lovely face for my audience. "Heeeeeeeellllllooooooooo, my lovelies, I have returned with a sacrifice!...No, but really, my friend is here so now we can get it started up again." ~sweet, hiiiiiiiii friend~ ~Dat Gilda, nice bro you gonna tap dat ass >ww<~ ~48~ ~39~ "Okay, drawing the number in three, two, one.........ninety-nine...I kind of knew it in my gut, but okay then. Send me the friend request and I'll add ya'." ~SlipperyNipple~ "OH MY GODDESS! WHAT THE FRICK MAN! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ohmygosh...ohmygosh...hooooooooo, I need to breath, I need to breath, gimme a sec, okay that is the best name ever." "Alrgiht, hey gimme a sec and lemme get this thing on and set up." "You got it Gild's," I turned back around to face the computer since I looked back to talk to Gilda. "so, how you doing today? You having fun so far, enjoying watching me suck at this game, hmmmm? Hahahaha." ~you screeeem funne~ "u writ funnniii" I typed back. ~can you do voice impersonations?~ "Uhhhhhh, hold on lemme find a voice to do," I racked my brain for a voice to do, until I finally got one. "I think I can still do this one...*ahem* *Soarin voice* "Awwww Sweeeeeet! Apple pie!" ~Hahahahahaha XD~ ~ohmygosh you sounded just like soarin!~ ~Dude!~ ~Holysadfdsajhlkh!~ "Hahahaha, oh my gosh I haven't done that in a while." I looked over and saw Gilda doubled over trying not to laugh and Dash actually fell out of her chair, completely unable to stop the giggle fit I had just induced into her. "Dash you alright down there?" I asked with a stupidly big grin on my face. "Y-Yo-hohoho, oh my gahahahahahaaaaassshh,*gasp* I can't breath!" She said, tears streaming down her face from how hard she was laughing at my little impersonation. "Okay, so small two minute break while we wait for these two to regain their composure and we'll start. Here lemme' add you slipperynippilahahahaha, I'm sorry, just your name is just too funny." True to what I said, Gilda stopped shaking, but still had the giggles here and there, Dash was back in her chair and wiping her eyes free of any tears from her literal 'rofl' and we were back in game with the next viewer. "Okay, let's go then, next heist is rats, and I get to mow down fellow hayspanic drug dealer ponies, YAY! That sounded so fucked up, but I dun' cur', 'imma slap the piss outta' dem'!" I half-yelled as I pistol whipped a pony in the face, killing him instantly. "Still don't get how a pistol whip kills you, it's a blunt strike to your face or body, it shouldn't kill you, just ya'know knock ya' to the ground." We all ran inside and killed the gang members in the building and started to collect the chemicals to make the drugs. "Okay I say Gilda goes first, Dash second, Me third, and Slippery goes last to make the meth. That way we don't get mixed up and blow our asses up and we get all the bags of the stuff. Sound good." "Mmhmm." "Yup." ~*sounds good*~ I did a double take at the voice that just came from the voicechat. "Woah!...your a female...name like that I thought you were a typical guy on the internet." ~*Nope, but I'm just as much of a perv. Hahaha*~ "Oh my gosh, Dash I think I found your long lost sister." "Hahaha, yeeeeeaah right." "Dunno Dash I think she matches you almost perfectly." "As if, haha, I'm way more of a perv with my jokes, ain't that right blueberry?" ~blueberry, ahahaha! XD~ ~ohmahgosh~ ~Pffffft blueberry, that's funny~ "Ya, laugh it up, but I embrace my blueberryness! Blueberry color master race!" Everyone changed their chat-name color to blue. "YES WITH THIS ARMY OF BLUEBERRYS I SHALL CONQUER THE PLANET AHA-AHAHAHAHA-MWUAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *COUGH-HACK-COUGH* ow, okay, not doing the evil laugh again...I ain't cut out for that shiz." ~lol~ ~derp~ "Indeed." I yelped the most manly yelp ever when I turned back to the screen and got shot in the face by a Dozer that had made its way up while I was distracted. "Was...was that you Sound?" Asked Dash. "Dude...what the hell man." Followed up Gilda. "SHUDDUP! I GOT SURPRISED! I YELLED...OKAY!" I yelled jokingly. "Hahahaha, okay, whatever you say." Teased Dash. "Okay, whatever, just...pick my ass up I got downed." "I got ya, I got ya." The rest of the heist went pretty much like that. Get some bags, get shot, and then run away, and as luck would have it there was an escape as well. "Uuuuuuuugggghh, whyyyyyyyy, every tiiiiiiiiiime...*sigh* let's just do it, and I think I'm going to change games." So we did the escape, the deal and then the bus stop finale of the heist, and we also managed to get all the bags too, before we got the rewards and then back to the lobby. "Okay Slippery, it was nice playing with you." ~*Thanks, it was fun playing with you too*.~ "Alright let's switch games now...uhhhhhh, what game you guys wanna' see?" I said as I closed out of the game and went to the game library. "I have Dead Space, uhhhhh, I have Mass Effect, I have uhhhhh, Pony Souls 1 and I have Resident Evil 4, whatcha' guys want?" ~You have outlast?~ ~outlast~ ~outlast~ ~outlast~ ~dude play outlast, please say you have it.~ ~You should play outlast~ I stared at the screen until I looked through my game library, and guess what, I had it downloaded and ready to play. I brought my hand up to forehead and dragged it down my face, down to my muzzle and gripped it, I let it go a moment after. "You guys hate me don't you?" I said with a tired looking face again. "Uhhhh, like that game we uhhhh, played with you and Barb?" "Yup." "Ohhh." "Yeah." "Awwww please you pansy's can't handle a scary game?" "It's not the scary, it's the jumpscares in the game that get ya'." "Yeah, I can agree with that." Said Dash. "Oh pah-lease, I'll sit through it with you guys and show you that it ain't shit." ~15 minutes later~ "AAAAAAHH!" "OOOOHHHH SHIIIIIIT!" "WIGGLE IT!" "I'M TRYING!" *Dead* "FRIIIIIIICK!...Okay, I'm a little mad now, I keep dying to the same fucking dude and fuck this puto, pinche hijo de puta!" "You alright there?" Asked Gilda. "Nope...I think it's time for a break...guys 'imma take a ten minute break, the salt is just too much right now and I don't want to rage quit the stream because of it. We will be right back." I turned the webcam off and muted the mic again and went downstairs to grab another drink from the basement. Brought back a Voltage and another Code Red for Dash. I didn't know what to get Gilda so I brought her one of the Baja Blast one's. "Here you girls go." I said as I handed them off to them and sat down in my chair and proceeded to lean back in it. "I can't play this anymore, I think I'm good for maybe another hour or so before my minds melts." "Yeah, we've been going since, like, what...two in the afternoon I think?" "Yeah, sounds about right. Alright, lets get back to streaming then." I said before turning the camera and mic back on. "We're back and I'm significantly less salty now,so let's this thing-actually, you know what, lets play another game before we finish for the night." ~Slendermane?~ "We're doing it. I did not want to sleep tonight anyway, so lets do it!" A few clicks later and Slendermane the arrival was downloaded quick and ready to play. "Okay, so since I am 'not' doing this alone, I have splitters so that multiple headphones can be jacked in. Dash, Gilda and me will have headphones in and they will watch me scream like a filly, sound good...good. Lets get started!" ~let the screams begin!~ ~I sense...a scream fest oncoming~ "There will be screams to be had, and pants to ruin, just you watch." I walked a few feet in the game before stopping. "You know I have all of you here and I feel like I should name you guys and gals of the chat something...how does being my 'wavelings' sound to you?" ~Love it!~ ~we shall cover the planet in our numbers!~ ~THE WAVELING ARMY!!!!!~ "Hahaha! My lovelies, come to me! Let us bath the world in our greatness!" "You're so weird." "I second that." "Shuddup you love it." I said to both Gilda and Dash, but mostly to Dash. "Shuddup." Dash said as she gave me a sideways glance. I chuckled and grinned as I started moving again. A few minutes later I found the first page and the music officially started up with the booming bass. Gilda didn't want to say it, but I could see she was getting a bit anxious, and so was Dash, hell I was the most nerve wracked since, ummm yeah hello, I'm the one playing it. Two more pages and we had our first sighting of Slendermane. The bass boomed in our headphones, making us all jump, me more then the others since I kind of, might have, almost flung my mouse across the room. "HIJO DE PUTA!" I yelled as I run away from the skinny sunnavabitch that was running after me. Some time later and at page number seven, we met up with Slendermane again, though, this time he was right in our faces. "AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "RUUUUUUUN!" "HOLY FLYING FEATHERS RUN YOU MORON!" Gilda yelled at me. "I'M TRYING!" I yelled back, clearly panicking "TRY HARDER!" Gilda just yelled back in response. then Slendermane just popped up on the screen, killing us instantly and making us scream...very loudly. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!...Hmmmmmmmm...hmmmmmmm...hmmmmmm." My hands shot up to my head and clenched into fists. I breathed in and out very slowly, trying to calm myself. I looked to my left to see the best thing ever. Gilda, the one who said that 'we' were pansies, was literally shaking a bit form the scare we just got. Dash had her hands on he muzzle to prevent her from screaming when he popped up, her pupils were also almost the size of pinpricks. "Okay guys and gals, I think we had a very good stream tonight and I would like to thank you all for coming out tonight and watching me suck at video games and shit my pants. Thank you, and once again remember, stay awesome. Cya' next time...oh yeah, here go to this link and follow it so you can get updates on when I'm doing a stream again. Okay, for real this time, bye bye. ~bye bye Bolt~ ~Later man~ ~night dude~ I cut the feed to the camera and the stream, which cut the feed from the mic as well. "I think it's food time...what do you girls think?" "Uhhhhh, y-yeah, that sounds good to me." "Dash?" "Hooooooly crap! I thought I peed myself...yeah, yeah food sounds good right about now." "You okay girls? 'Cause I think my heart skipped a beat when that happened." They nodded, albeit in a very tired like manner, but still. "Alright, I say we just order pizza, I don't feel like cooking right now," I grab my cellphone from the table and dial the number for the pizza place. "Oh yeah, what do you want on it?" I asked as it rang. "I want Olives, mushrooms, peppers, oh yeah! Jalapeño's, gotta have those too." "I thought you could take spicy?" I said with a teasing tone. "I can, just not those, whatever they were, that were in the chineighse food." "Haha, alright then, hey Gilda what do you want?" "Eeeehh, I guess I'm good with that too." ~Hello, thank you for calling little neightaly, how my I help you?~ "Hi, let me have 2 large pies, uhhhh, both of them with olives, mushrooms, peppers and Jalapeño's." ~Sure, anything else sir?~ "Yes, can you deliver it to twenty-five Apple Lane?" ~Sure thing, it'll by there in thirty minutes.~ "Thanks." I hung up and leaned back in my chair. "Thirty minutes girls." "Ugh, that's gonna take foreverrrrrrr." "Awwww, come down Dashie." "*Snrk* " I heard Gilda snicker. "What?" "So Pinkie ain't the only one to call her Dashie huh?" "Nope." I say with a grin. "Help's that she's my marefriend." Gilda's jaw dropped and she just stared at us. "You two...together?" She said, pointing at us with a talon. "Mmhmm." "Yup." Dash and I responded back. "Wow, I never would have thought...I mean...wow..." Gilda looked at me with a grin. "Looks like you were the stallion to ground her huh?" Dash was gonna say something, but I put a wing around her and brought her closer to my side. "Yup!" I responded back with a grin of my own. Dash couldn't help but smile and blush. The conversation went on for until the doorbell rang again, signaling that our food had arrived. I went downstairs, payed the colt and brought the food upstairs. "Food's here!" An then it wasn't. When I opened the box half the pizza was gone in like five minutes. The rest was gone in the next half hour. "Ugh, can't...eat anymore." "So full." "I immediately regret my decision." Yeah, two pizza's and three ponies to eat them. Not really the best plan. We were so full of food that were we just immovable masses in the room. I was in my chair, Dash on the floor up against the couch and Gilda on said couch. "I think if I move imma' vomit." "Don't you dare move Gild's...but I'm right at that point too." Dash said from he position. "I'm...not...moving...ever...again...blurgh." I said from my chair. Almost comically, all three of us burped rather loudly, which helped with our immobility problem quite a bit. "Okay...I feel somewhat better now...and sleepy...very sleepy." I said, giving a loud yawn afterwards which eventually spread to the two other girls. "Yeah, it's late," Gilda looked outside. "Awww dang, I hate flying at night. Hey is it alright if I stay here for the night?" "Yeah, sure. You can use the pull-out over there. It's awesome, I tried it and it's hella' comfortable." I got up and left the room to get some pillows and a blanket for Gilda. "Here ya' go." "Thanks dude. Just gotta let Trix know I'm staying the night here." Gilda said making her way to the couch. "Hey, you ready to go to bed Dash?" Dash yawned again. "Yeah, I'm exhausted and full of food." Dash got up groggily. "Let's go to sleep." "Alright, *yawn* let's go. Night Gilda." "Night guys." Gilda had already pulled out the bed and was wrapped in her blanket. Dash and I went to my room and sort of just stripped down to our undies and slipped into bed. I leaned over and kissed Dash on her ear. "Night Dash." She did the same to me before hugging my body and getting comfortable. Sleep soon overtook our minds and we drifted off to Luna's realm of dreams. It felt like I started to dream almost instantaneously. I was in a field with Dash, and we were sitting on the grass up against a tree, Dash in my arms and her head resting on my chest. I could feel the breeze blowing in my face and smell Dash's natural scent; It was calming. It didn't last for too long before it all just sort of melted away and left me in an empty space, wondering what the hell was going on. The feeling of being alone didn't last for long either since seconds later there was a flash and then Luna stood before me in all her regal glory. "Luna? What are you doing here?" I asked the lunar Princess. "I have come to you because I can feel something is bothering you. You're constant daydreaming let on to that much." She responded. "Hmmm." Was all I said. "So what is bothering you if I may pry?" Luna asked me as she stepped closer to me. "Well..." I started. "Yes?" "Well...you see...I kind of left home without so much as a "Hey mom, dad, little bro! I'm going to move away forever and I'm never coming back! Bye! Oh yeah, and you'll never be able to talk to me ever again, sooooo, yeah, good luck with that!" so pardon me if I seem a bit...distant." Luna looked at me for a moment before closing her eyes. She opened them a moment later, and stepped within arms length of me and put her hand on my shoulder. "I could let them know in their dreams that you are okay and that they need not worry about you." "Can you really do that? I mean I know you guys brought me and my friends here, but. Can you go into theirs dreams and let them know I'm alright?" Luna gave me a warm smile that seemed to radiate a sense of calmness on me. "Of course. I shall let them know that you are fine, and not to worry any longer, Cobolt." I sighed as I felt a weight lift off my shoulders since I knew that I wouldn't have to worry about that anymore. 'Sorry I left you mom, but I'm happy here. That and I finally found a girl that loves me for me, so there's that.' "Hey, Luna." "Hmmm." She hummed in return. "Tell my dad I found a nice girl to that actually likes me for who I am will ya'?" Luna brought a hand up to stifle a giggle. "Of course. I'll let him know. Now if there is nothing else." "No...just...thanks Luna." "You're very welcome." That was the last thing Luna said before the dream I was having came back, and the empty space disappeared and was replaced with the scenery from before. The night seemed to have passed fairly quickly because I awoke a few minutes later. 'Awww, I liked that dream.' I looked down and found the real Rainbow Dash clinging to my side with a cute face as she slept. 'Though dream Dash ain't got nothing on real Dash. I thought to myself as I hugged the mare closer to me and grinned as she wriggled around in my embrace to get more comfortable. 'Yeah, I said it before, but I'll say it again. I am really gonna love it here. > Happy Birthday to Me (Bonus Chap.) > --------------------------------------------------------------------------         “HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAAAAYYYY!”         “AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”         “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!”         “Were you surprised? Huh? Were ya, were ya, were ya!?         I looked up in complete unbridled fear with Dash firmly grasping my bicep, whimpering like a filly with her eyes shut tight, to see Pinkie Pie, the towns best cake and pastry baker, and also one of my good friends. Though, at the moment I was rethinking that, since she just woke me a Dash up by yelling in our ears. “P-p-p-inkie!? Wha-what are you doing in my room at,” I looked at the clock on the nightstand. “eight in the morning? Dash and I were still sleeping.” Pinkie moved back and away from the bed and rubbed her neck. “Oopsies, sorry ‘bout that Bolty, heehee! I was just so excited for today that I just couldn’t wait!” She hopped a couple of times as she spoke. “Excited for today? What so special about...wait a minute...what’s today’s date?” I asked as I tried to make it over to the nightstand to grab my phone. I say tried, because dash was still latched onto my arm. “Hey, Dash...Dash? Dashie you can let go of my arm now, it was just Pinkie that scared the colour off of us.” Dash looked up and then at Pinkie, then back to my arm and let go. “Sorry.” Dash lit up like a bright red tomato and made that adorable little scrunchy face she makes when she doesn’t get her way or when she gets embarrassed. I just rolled my eyes at her and grabbed my phone. “HOLY BALLS! IT’S DECEMBER FOURTEENTH!” I shouted. “CRAP! REALLY!? OH SHOOT, I COMPLETELY FORGOT! Uuuuuhhhhh, I’ll be back later! gotta dash!” Rainbow exclaimed, and flew out the window...in her bra and panties. “She just-” “Give her a sec.” I said back to Pinkie. “OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHIFORGOTMYCLOTHESI’MSORRYI’LLBERIGHTBACKLOVEYABABEBYE!” And just like that she was gone again. “Welp...I can assume you got everypony downstairs waitin’ fur’ me?” I asked, to which I got an enthusiastic head nod. “They’ve been here for a while now--getting everything ready.” “You didn’t wake them up early did you?” “Noper’s, they were already awake and ready to come over when I came to get them. Come on, let’s go downstairs!” Pinkie said before grabbing my hand and dragging me out of the room and down the stairs...in just my pajama bottoms and no shirt. “He’s awake!” “Darling, why didn’t you let the poor dear at least put some clothes on first?” I just looked at them all and just walked over to the empty spot on the couch and sat down. “This is what I normally wear to sleep,” I let out a fairly big yawn. “sorry ‘bout that. Just kinda woke up a few minutes ago.” The girls just rolled their eyes and laughed. “Well then, I guess I’ll be the first to give you your present then darling.” Rarity said before handing over a fairly heavy box. I was a bit confused how such a small box could be so heavy, until I opened it and found a brand new bottle of very good, and might I add, my favourite kind of whiskey. “Sunspot whiskey...as in that cinnamon flavoured whiskey?” “The very same dear. You’re of age here so I thought, why not give the birthday boy something a bit stronger than cider.” “You’re too much Rares, but...how did you know I liked this stuff? I mean I’ve mentioned a couples of times that there was something like this back where I was from. Fireball whiskey it’s called.” “Well, if it’s the same thing, then it should still be your favourite, darling.” She said before giving me a wink. I popped the bottle open and took a small sip of it. “It’s only eight in the morning Cobolt.” “But it’s five o’clock somewhere my pretty purple princess...wow say that five times fast drunk.” I smirked as Twilight just facepalmed. “Whatever, it’s your birthday, so...here, I suppose I should give you my gift next.” Twilight handed me her present next. once again it was a small box, but this time it didn’t weigh as much as the last one. “Is it a book?” I asked with a small smirk. “No...not this time at least. No, what I got you was something different.” I opened the box, and immediately felt stupid. “Ya’know...when I asked if it was a book,” I picked out a very nice looking bracelet from the box. “I should’ve figured it wasn’t gonna’ be one with how light the box was.” The bracelet had what looked like a bunch of different, very small, keychains like the ones from Kingdom Hearts. I loved that game so much and now I have a bracelet with the keychains on it. “This is awesome Twi, but how’d you get the designs for the keychains right?” “Oh, that was easy. With how much you and Barb talked about, I figured I’d ask Luna to help me.” I looked at her with a knowing smile. “Dream walking?” “Dream walking.” I chuckled. “I should have known.” I put the box down and put the piece of jewelry on my wrist. “It looks really cool. Thanks Twi.” I hugged the Alicorn sitting next to me and saw her ears flop down as she blushed a bit. “I-it was nothing. You’re my friend after all--so I figured I’d get you something nice for your twentieth birthday.” She said as she rubbed her neck semi-embarrassed. “Well, thanks again Twi. It’s really awesome.” I looked it over a few times as I turned my wrist around. “It’d be pretty cool if I could actually make a keyblade appear, though, that probably would never happen.” “Actually, that’s where you’re wrong.” I turned to look at Twilight with my mouth hanging open and a look of complete disbelief on my face. “Wait...you don’t mean....that I can-” “Make a actual one appear? Yes, yes you can. Both Celestia and Luna helped me out with that part. They used their magic to enchant the charms on the bracelet. Go ahead and try it.” I looked down at my wrist and then held out my hand in front of me. “Uhhh, Twi? I’m not sure that it’ll work like you said. He’s been doing that for few seconds now and nothing’s hap-” And just as AJ was about to say nothing was gonna happen, the keyblade that I loved so much, appeared in my hand. “penning...wait in the.” “Hahaa! This is awesome Twi! This thing looks heavy, but feels so light!” I exclaimed completely overjoyed. “Well that’s the princesses magic for you. They knew what they were doing.” “What a very interesting design.” Rarity piped in. “Well, that’s the Rumbling Rose for ya. Beauty and power in one. Just like a rose has it’s beautiful red petals, and it’s thorns. This particular keyblade has a rose handle and a brilliant navy blue blade, while it has a thorny handguard and three claw like thorns at the end of it--kind of reminds me of you girls. All of you are beautiful, yet, none of you are afraid to throw a punch when needed...or magic blast.” I thought of the blade disappearing and it did so. “Well, that was pretty cool. It’d be cooler to have those drive forms too.” “The princesses will be here with their part of the gift later.” Twilight said as I sat back down. I took a breath and let it out slowly. “Can this day get any better?” “It can if you open up my gift next sugarcube.” Applejack said as she handed her present over to me next. “Kinda didn’t know what tah’ get ya for your birthday. So I just went with Rainbow and just walked around town before we walked into one of those airsoft places or whatever you call them.” I opened the box and found a Desert eagle BB gun. Gas canister powered too, so it was a true semi-auto fire gun too. “Sweet, now I can do some target practice out back. This is the best, thanks Jackie.” “A shucks, t’weren’t nothin’ sugarcube. Dash helped me out a bit.” She said as she blushed hard as I gave her one of the biggest hugs I’ve ever given her...or it could have been the fact that I was still shirtless. I figured that was the reason and I told them I’d be right back after I got a shirt from my room. When I got back Fluttershy the next one to hand me their present. “Hope you like it.” She said before bringing her arms down and in front of her in a v-shape, making her, ahem ‘funbags’ pop out some more. I looked away after coughing once. “you just love teasing,” I looked back at her. “don’t you?” “I have no idea what you’re talking about Cobolt.” She giggled as she did it yet again, which only served to make the other girls laugh at my expense. “You know...I could always just take my shirt and pants off and just sit here...in between two of you...in my underwear.” That shut them up quick, and put some very heavy blushes on their faces. “Huh...I guess it is fun to do that.” I chuckled as I sat back down. As I opened the present I heard something, or somepony fly back in through the window upstairs. I only say I heard Dash fly back in because I heard her crash into the bed and tumble down onto the floor. “Dash is back.” Was all I said as I continued to open the present. “Hey, thanks Flutters.” I said with a big grin on my face. “It was nothing really. I knew how much you wanted a pair of gloves like that.” She responded back with a smile of her own. I pulled out a pair of fingerless gloves with straps to tighten them around my wrist. “I’ve been looking for these all over the place. Where’d you find them?” “Well, I did have a friend who does a lot of sparring and uses gloves like that a lot.” “Gilda?” “Gilda.” “Lemme guess, she help you find these?” “She actually helped me special order these for you. I didn’t think they’d arrive in time, but they actually got to me early this morning--just in time to get them ready and give them to you.” “Well, thanks Flutters. They look amazing.” I said as I put them on to look at them. They looked really good along with my bracelet that Twilight had gotten me. “Okay *Huff Puff* I’m...back...I got you, oh boy, that landing hurt--I got you you’re present Cobolt.” Dash said as she half limped down the stairs while rubbing her flank. I walked over to her and before she could utter a word I pick her up bridal style with her wriggling around telling me to put her down. She knows that I know that she hates when I do stuff like that to her in front of her friends. I sat down again with Dash on my lap this time and she was giving me the most adorable pouty face ever. “If it wasn’t you birthday I would smack you so hard right now.” “But you won’t because you love me too much.” I said with a cheeky smile. “Don’t push it.” She looked up at me with her arms crossed and her present on her lap. “Here’s your present. I had to fly all over the place to get you it.” She said before handing me the tiny box. “You didn’t have to stress out that much Dashie.” I kissed the top of her head which caused her so blush lightly. “Well, I wanted to get you something for your birthday...stupid.” She mumbled the last part as I opened it. I tilted her head to look at me and then kissed her right on the lips, completely catching her off guard, making her blush all the more. “Thanks Dashie, they’re perfect.” She had gotten me a pair of dogtags for my birthday. They had my birthday, eye colour, even my blood type, which I’d probably have to ask Dash how she got that, and race on it--along with my name and height. I was pretty tall here. About six foot, which sorta made Dash the cute size of five foot four inches all the more adorable. “W-well, I’m glad you like’em.” “Of course I like them. They look awesome. Must have been a bit hard to get somepony to engrave the tags that fast.” “Actually, Rarity knew a guy that can do last minute stuff like that. He’s really good too--got those suckers done in like ten minutes.” “Well then, I guess I’ll have to find him and tell him thanks later. For now, though.” I said before kissing her again, though this one went on for a bit longer than the last one. “How was that for a thank you Dashie?” “I might need to hear it again Bolty.” The way she said my name sent a chill down my spine. “Ahem as much as your little show is fun to watch, I think Pinkie here still needs to give her present to you.” Rarity said. “Heehee, sorry about that.” I put my muzzle close to Dash’s ear. “we’ll continue this later Dashie.” I whispered into her ear before discreetly nibbling on it, making her shudder a bit. Luckily for her she could say she felt a breeze play it off. “Okay Pinks, whatcha got for me ya’ pink hyper devil you.” “I got you something really cool. Just give me...one...second...almost got it.” Pinkie was fishing through her mane for her gift I assumed--which was right, since she pulled out an even smaller box than the others. “Here ya go Cobolt. Ooooooooohhhh, I just know you’ll love it!” She said as she hopped in place. I opened it really slowly, since with Pinkie, you could never know if she just filled the little box with a bunch of gag spring snakes. Though, what I found was not that, in fact it was a small Silver ring. “Man, you guys just got me a bunch of jewelry, huh? Thanks Pinks, it great, though, now I’m curious as to how you got my finger size.” “Oh! That’s easy, I just took a measurement while you slept.” She smiled a big toothy grin as I just moved my head back in a ‘bruh’ sort of way. “Okay……...promise me you won’t don’t that anymore? Kinda don’t want to wonder if one of my best friends is watching me sleep...or doing weird stuff to my body.” PInkie brought up her finger and sheepishly scratched her ear and closed her right eye to emphasis it. “Heehee, Y-yeah, it was sorta like a last minute thing. Sorry ‘bout that. I was too busy baking you a cake and making sure it was super-duper perfect!” Before I could say anything else, there was a knock at the door, followed by the sound of Luna’s voice. “Hello, is anyone home?” “Yeah, just come on in--door’s unlocked.” The door opened and in walked the two monarchs of the country. “Happy birthday!” “Happy birthday!” They both said to me, causing me to smile widely. “Hahaha, thanks Celly, Lulu.” They both narrowed their eyes at me and pouted. “Those are our nicknames between sisters.” “Fiiiiiine. Let’s try again. Thank you sunbutt and loony.” The looked at me before poofing their presents on top of me and Dash. “Nevermind, I suppose you can use them...just not in public.” And don’t call me loony again...my sister used to call me that because she knew it annoyed me.” Added Luna. “You got it sunbutt and loony.” Another set of narrowed eyes before the princesses sat down and rolled their eyes at me. “I opened Celestia’s box first and pulled out...yup, you guessed it, more jewelry! Except it was another bracelet and it had five crystal orb-like gems on it. Red, blue, white, yellow and one that sort of shined a rainbow hue depending on which way you turned it. “Barb helped me get the enchantments right for that bracelets gems.” I looked up at her and simply smiled. “If it was Barb that helped you, then they should be right.” “Well, let’s hope so--she’s getting ready to come over right now over at Twilight’s and a few others are coming as well.” “Most likely my other friends and a few of the others that I’m friends with in town are coming as well.” “Yes, I believe Vinyl Scratch is coming, as well as Octavia Von’Clef. and a few others.” Said Luna. “Sweet. I love those two!” I said with a big grin on my face. I looked over and saw Dash with her arms crossed and a brow raised. “You know thats not what I mean Dashie.” She rolled her eyes at me and giggled. “I know. I just like messing with you.” She gave me a smug grin before giggling again. I was about to say something else when the doorbell went off. “Come in--doors unlocked!” “YOOOOOO! Wassup dude!?”Yelled the DJ mare with the electric blue mane. “Heyooooooo! Was good mah’-” “Don’t finish that!” “Hahaha, I was gonna say broski, but okay. Calm your tits son.” Said my buddy Bass, with a cheeky smile. I just shook my head. “Yes, hello Cobolt. Oh, and happy birthday to you--now, ummm, not to seem rude, but do you have anything I could eat? Vinyl here dragged me out of the house early and I didn’t have time to eat anything before leaving. “Ha! Speak  for yourself Tavi’, I’m fine.” Vinyl said before her stomach growled loudly at her, making her blush from behind her purple sunglasses. “Okay...so maybe I am a little bit hungry.” I rolled my eyes at the silly mare. “Just go grab something from the kitchen. I don’t mind.” “Heehee, thanks.” “No problem.” “Thank you.” Octavia turned to Vinyl. “I swear if you ever pull me out of the house again before I can have something to eat. I will beat the crap out of you with your headphones Vinyl.” Most of the ponies in my house looked at Octavia like she had two heads, while I just sat there and chuckled. I knew that Octavia was ‘prim and proper’, but she did curse from time to time. “Haha, better watch out Vinyl. I think she means it this time. I’d be careful if I were you there miss ‘wubmaster’.” Some of them laughed with me while others just rolled their eyes. “All right--now that everypony here is...here!” Pinkie popped up from behind a DJ booth across the room. “LET’S PARTY!” Well you can only imagine what happened after those words. We partied for a good three hours and after that we just kinda sat down and relaxed. “Hey...Pinkie get you fuzzy butt over here!” “Whatcha need Bolty!?” “Look right there.” “Where? There into the camera? OKAY! Hello people reading this story!” “Yes, hello. I’d just like to say thank you for reading my story and sticking around for as long as you have and that you’ve put up with the enormous time without an update to the story.” “Yuppers--he just ran out of ideas to write in this cool story of his. Though, I keep telling him, all he has to do is make one little dragon appear and then we can fight it.” “Yeah...not gonna happen Pinks. The only dragoness in this town is Barb and it’s gonna stay that way.” “Awwww, poopie. Oh well, at least you got some more ideas now. Right?” “That’s right. Oh yeah. If you hadn’t known--I turned twenty years old on December fourteenth. Pretty cool if you ask me.” “Yeah! Anyway-” “I have to start writing the next chapter for you guys-” “You won’t have to wait to long this time guys!” “That’s right. I’m back and ready for some more craziness!” “Stay tuned everypony! “And remember!” “This has been Cobolt Soundwave-” “Sounding off.” Everypony looked where we were looking and waved. “BYE!”
