> Chatter and Pinkie, a love story. > by Jabber99er > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chatter and Pinkie, a love story. The blue stallion tentatively placed his hoof on the wooden floor of the train station. His job had sent him here in order to buy sugar cube corner from Mr. and Mrs. Cake, who had for years evaded the corporate grasp of Dole corp. But today was Chatter's lucky day. The Cake's business has been down recently, and with two children to feed, the Cake's were desperate for money. He closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath of air in order to get a grasp of where he was. It was a quirk, but he's done it many a'times before, and its always worked. The air was filled with the sweet aroma of freshly spun cotton candy and vanilla. As Chatter opened his eyes he was greeted by a large pair of blue eyes and a pink forehead. "Hi there! I'm Pinkie Pie!" The pink mate let out before Chatter even realized what was happening. "I saw a train coming into town and I just knew it'd have somepony new on it! And guess what! I was right!" She exclaimed, starting to hop around him chanting "I was right," for several seconds. "So," she said, seeming to appear right in front of him again from seemingly out of nowhere, "what's your name? Where are you from? Why ya coming to ponyville? How long are you staying?" Geez, Chatter had a cutie mark in, well, chattering, and he hadn't even gotten a word in edge wise yet. " My name's Chatter," he was able to say when the pony finally had to stop to breath, "and I'm her to buy a, uh, house," he lied, not thinking it logical to spread the fact he was here to buy a well known business. She gasped, grabbed Chatter by the hoof, and started running. It was several minutes later when the pink hooves screeched to a halt and the mare pointed to a cloud in the sky. "It's perfect!" She exclaimed. "For what?" Chatter inquired. "For your new house silly," she said matter-of-factly. Chatter started to mention the fact that he wasn't a pegasus, and therefore could not live on this plot of fine real estate that he was being presented, but the strange pony seemed to walk straight up, as if climbing some sort if invisible ladder, onto the cloud. "W-what?" Was all he could muster seeing an earth pony "fly" AND walk on a cloud. "HEY VIDEE! I FOUND YOU A ROOMATE!" He could hear her shout followed by what sounded like a hoof knocking on a door. Chatter couldn't hear what the other half of this conversation had said, but Pinkie replied, "Aw, come on! You can't just stay in there by yourself 24/7," ... "No you can't," ... "No you can't." The two ponies argued for several minutes over rather the one could stay inside all the time or not. Just enough time for Chatter to sneak away. As Chatter passed a nearby tree, a familiar pink face popped out through a hole in the trunk. Chatter screamed in surprise and fell on his back. "Haha. Get up silly!" Chatter lie on his back, soaking in the rage that this pony had caused him in under a half an hour. She extended a hoof to help him up, but he slapped it away, rolled himself back onto his feet, and started trotting away. "Hey, where ya going Chatter?" Pinkie called after him as she galloped towards him, trying to keep up. Chatter didn't answer, but instead started moving faster in order to loose his pursuer. "Hey, wait up!" She called as she finally started to slow down, "I just wanted to talk." > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chatter lies down on the cheap bed in the seedy motel. Dole corp. gives him a hundred thousand bits to buy sugar cube corner, but only sixty five for lodging and food. Maybe if this deal worked out, he would get promoted! Yeah, then he could finally fire Jim from accounting! He imagined the look on the old grey pegasus's face as he walked out of Dole hq for the final time, and looked back to Chatter's grin. His pleasant thoughts where cut short when the loud sound of a hoof against the door echoed through his room, "MAID SERVICE!" The pony from the other side of the door shouted. "Can't you read!" He said, "the sign says 'do not disturb!'" "No sir," Chatter was able to make out through the thick accent, "this sign says that it's party time!" Pinkie Pie jumped in, shattering the wood of the door in front of her. He was able to move out of the way before she pounced on the bed. "Let's play pin the tail on the pony!" She yelled jumping up in the air again, "No! Lets play musical chairs! That's way more fun than pin the tail on the pony!" "Pinkie!" He yelled. "No! Let's play twisty!" "Pinkie!" He yelled louder this time. "No! Let's play..." "PINKIE!" He yelled at the top of his lungs, finally getting the mare's attention. "Yes?" She said cheerfully. "GO AWAY!" "B-but why?" She said, a twang of sadness in her voice. "I DON'T LIKE YOU! GET OUT!" He yelled. "B-but chatter..." "NO! GO AWAY!" He said, pointing towards the door with his hoof. "LISTEN," she yelled back, "I'll leave, but me and you both have read enough copy-paste fan-fiction about how one creature hates the other he finds out that he actually loves her and they fall deeply in love and live happily ever after to know how this is going to turn out. I'm only going to advance the plot," she said with a huff as she calmly walked out the doorframe. Chatter facehoofed as he sat back onto his bed and thought about how he was going to explain the broken door to the management. > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chatter went downstairs to talk to management about the door, but immediately forgot all about it when he saw the manager. Instead of what he was expecting, an elderly unicorn or a young overweight pegasus, he was met face to cushion with a large, beige couch, with a beige unicorn horn sticking out of his arm rest. "What may I help you with today sir?" He asked in a very deep guttural voice. "Maybe I was drugged," chatter pondered out loud as he walked out if the office and into the streets. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS BANK ROBBERS YAY!" He heard from his left. As he looked in the direction of the scream, he saw three fillies in as large box with wheels crudely attached to the bottom barreling down the road. His legs where knocked out from under him as the box slammed into him. He hit the "windshield" of the car and went flying up. He screamed while he was in airborne, but was silenced as he crashed through the glass of the windshield of a perusing police car. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Hello Mr. Matter. Are you up yet?" A sweet voice asked from above Chatter's head. "Uhh..." He groaned, "where am I?" "The hospital. You just went through some major surgery. But don't worry, it all went off without a hitch!" "Surgery? The car must have hit me pretty hard huh?" He asked, still half asleep. "Car? You mean...you weren't here for the alicorn augmentation with coat and mane recoloring?" Now he was awake. "WHAT?!" He shouted, springing up and immediately falling down from not being used to his new, longer legs. "Sir! Please, your going to hurt yourself!" The nurse said, trying to get him back into the bed. His hoof went up to push her away, but instead slapped her to the ground. "Sorry!" He said as he was finally able to get his hoofing and scramble to the stainless steel countertop and look in a mirror. Surely enough, his coat was a pale grey and his mane a dark purple. A long horn protruded from his skull and two extra large wings extended from his back. "I hate my life," he said, putting his now extra long leg in front of his eyes. "Wait," he said, noticing something different about his voice, "why do I sound like a mare!?" "We'll all alicorns are female sir, we aren't going to change that." "You mean you..." He uttered. "Yep." Chatter-ette started screaming and slamming her hooves on the countertop, knocking over containers, and knocking over the cabinets mounted on the walls. "Wait sir! We can fix it all!" She tried to calm the crazed alicorn. "AHHHHHHH," Chatter continued to slam things and finally shattered the countertop. The nurse slowly backed up to a glass case that had a tranquilizer gun within. She leveled the rifle and fired three darts straight into Chatter's plot, causing her to fall out asleep. > Chapter 5 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chatter's eyes opened slightly as he slowly regained consciousness. He tilted his head to the right in order to see his hoof. From what he could tell, it was back to normal length, and he once again had his sleek, cobalt blue coat. He observed the long twisting plastic tube dripping medicine into the skin just above his hoof. He tilted his head to the left and saw a large vase filled with pink roses and a heart shaped box of chocolates. He closed his eyes slowly, and kept them closed only for a second. He opened them once again and his vision was filled with nothing but an endless abyss of pink. "YOUR ALIVE!" Chatter head booming in his ears as Pinkie Pie saw that he had opened his eyes "and your still a stallion! I was sooooooooo worried about you! I heard that you had been hit by the cutie mark crusaders's car while they where getting their bank robbing cutie marks, andOh! Yeah! Scootaloo got a cutie mark in safe cracking! It's so exciting! It's a little safe, and it has a crack going down the center and its just so cute! She's going to have a party in honer of it this weekend! I wonder how she'll pay for all the cake and stuff though. She doesn't have any parents. Or a home. Or a job. MAYBE SHE CAN JUST STEAL ALL THE MONEY! Oh, but anyway..." It's like she doesn't even need to breath. "Mrs. Pie, you'll need to leave now. We need to refill his IV," said a nurse as she walked in. It was just in time, because Chatter was about to start screaming, and he didn't know if he had enough energy to do that right now. "It's Miss. I'm not married. At least not yet. I'm sure that chatter here will give me a run for my money though!" She said enthusiastically, slapping Chatter's leg. He screamed in pain as soon as her hoof made contact with his recently worked on limb. "Oh, I'm sorry!" She gasped, using both hooves to cover her mouth, "I'll leave you to rest Chatter. Get well soon
