Teenagers
Chapter 8: 5.Boast Busters
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"I'm freaking out Spike I'm freaking the fuck out!" You shouted as you paced back and forth
"Why? You got a kiss from Fluttershy what's so bad about that?" He asked
"Oh I don't know because she kissed me and I don't know what the fuck to do."
"Dante! Why are you asking Spike? I know more about mares because oh I don't know I am one." Twilight asked
"I tried asking you but you ignored me. So I went to a dragon who actually listens to me. But if you're interested I need help dealing with Shy she kissed me! Kissed me! How the fuck does that happen she is somehow attracted to an asshole like me."
"Take a deep breath Dante now what happened between you and Fluttershy was there something that made her react that way towards you?" She asked
"I'm not entirely sure. All I did was help her when she was sad offered someone to talk to when she was upset and volunteered for a shoulder to cry anytime she needed it." You said to her
"Okay was there anything she said to you that made you confused?" Twilight asked
"She said 'please don't hate me' then she kissed me her vanilla flavored lips pressed on mine Twi. Mine! What the hell am I going to do?! You know I love vanilla!"
"Dante you aren't dating anyone so what's the big deal?" Twilight asked
"Don't you see I don't want a relationship with anyone I'm just trying to live my life but Fluttershy had to screw it up and kiss me."
"It isn't her fault she finds you attractive it's your own fault and you need to find a way to fix this problem." Twilight stated
"What you're abandoning me?! I thought we were friends?!" You shouted
"You're right we are friends but you got yourself into this mess and you're getting yourself out." Twilight simply stated
"Maybe...maybe you're right I need to talk to Shy that's the only way I can find out why she did what she did." You stated as you started to walk out the door.
"Wait Dante I don't think that's a good idea you know how Fluttershy can be after an event like that give her some space." You sighed and looked down you were worried about your friend and her feelings if you so happened to screw it up somehow, either way you needed a way to get your mind off of Fluttershy for the time being.
"You're right I'll try not to bother her. I'm going out. Spike wanna come along?" You asked
"Sure." Spike jumped off the couch and walked towards the door as you exited the library. You and Spike walked a good few steps from library as Spike began to question what you'd do.
"So...what if Fluttershy likes you what are ya going to do?" Spike asked
"I'm not sure but I'll cross that bridge when or if I ever come to it."
"Are you stalling or would you want a relationship with Fluttershy I mean the first day you were here you were kind of eager to make friends, hell later that day you made around six friends and you weren't even trying."
"Dude this is a relationship something I never prepared for. Sure a majority of my friends are girls, but come on I can't deal with the pressures of puppy dog eyes how could I handle a girl crying?"
"Well Fluttershy is pretty much innocent in all this, she was just trying to say 'thank you' but then something happened between you and her and maybe a spark happened in her head I may not be a girl but after hanging out with Twilight for a good while I think I know how they handle." Spike stated with a chuckle
"What you're saying makes no sense it's if I said I used the stove to make ramen soup and now I'm a master chef. Plus you're like me both adopted by Princess Celestia so in a way you and I are like brothers. Different species but the same adoptive mother."
"Right forgot I was found as an egg and you were found in a garden."
"And that's what makes us cool with each other as long as we don't fuck with each other then were fine." Spike gave you a solid nod before walking at the same pace as yourself.
You sighed and looked down you knew that dating someone could have precautions. You wouldn't be considered friends anymore and you can't really do much after you break up with that pony you'd most likely try to avoid each other and act happy but deep inside you're sadden by the fact that you can't really interact with each other. Unless you wanted to get back together again, then you'd be considered that off again on again couple.
"Dante! Stop thinking about what's going to happen you're bumming me out." Spike shouted annoyed by your constant thinking and stopping every few steps.
"Look I'm just worried about-" Your sentence was interrupted by a loud boom with several whistles and cheers. You looked forward to see a familiar looking caravan.
"Wait how did that get here?" You asked
"When you were spacing out that thing appeared and so did the admiring ponies who went to watch the show." He stated pointing towards the rather large crowd of citizens
"I spaced out for about two seconds alright, give me a break." Spike merely rolled his eyes as he walked towards the crowd, you followed behind you've seen this caravan somewhere before, but you didn't remember from where.
As you approached the area you heard several gasps of amazement and cheers of admiration. You walked towards the commotion softly pushing ponies aside as you tried to get a closer look at the awe-inspiring pony.
As you entered the second row your eyes widen as it was Trixie one of your old friends from Canterlot. You met her when you and Eris sneaked out the castle when you stole the black diamond from the treasury.
"Thank you thank you, now I need a challenger for the next part of my show. Anything you could do I could better if anyone would like to challenge me please step up now." Trixie looked more confident than a few years ago when you first talked to her she didn't even take off her hat, her hat always covering her eyes.
But something was wrong about her, Trixie seemed to have engrossed everyone into her performance she wasn't like that years ago she never got a crowd this big before. The most she got was a small crowd to around four to five ponies. Maybe she could do a lot without even trying and with your encouragement into saying she should be slightly aggressive to her performances that might've sparked some newfound confidence.
You were pretty sure she'd be hated around Ponyville by her boasting. Sure, she was your friend but now you didn't think having you as a friend can solve that problem. Then again you still haven't said a thing about your secret. It was more or less a problem on your end having to juggle life and what could come to it. You guess that life can steer it's self into a wall killing you along with what little sense on life you had.
You walked away from the spectacle trying to solve your own problem. Sure, seeing Trixie was a trip down memory lane, but now you didn't have time to even think about it. Your thoughts were centered more on Fluttershy and what you could do to find out more about what she thought about the kiss.
An hour later...
You were pacing back and forth in Carousel Boutique as you waited for Rarity to her ready. For some reason she was freaking out about her mane you did noticed that it looked like she placed grass upon her head.
"So what is your problem Dante?" She asked as she brushed her mane while looking into a mirror making sure it was her normal purple colored mane.
"I have a problem a huge one. Fluttershy likes me." You simply state as Rarity just keep brushing her mane
"And that's a problem why?"
"Didn't you hear me!? Fluttershy likes me! I don't know what the fuck to do! I don't wanna break her heart and reject her love like I did to Roseluck the only reason that I know of, Rosie was fine with it was, because she knew it wouldn't work between us." Rarity seemed to be slightly interested as she had stopped brushing her mane and gave you her full attention.
"From what I've gathered you're afraid, afraid of what your friendship with Fluttershy might be if you did have her as a partner. Seems to me that you two need to sit down and talk it out."
"How can I 'talk it out' with a mare who's shy as all hell. It'll be easier to get Pinkie to the dentist then to make Fluttershy talk about love with me." You were on the edge of your rope you just wanted to end the day then and there but you couldn't you needed someone to help you.
"Look I will help you but in return you have to do something for me in return do we have deal?" You slightly suspicious but she's the only way you could relay your talk with Fluttershy.
"Alright what do you need help with?" You asked
"Well my little sister Sweetie Belle wants to learn how to cook and she needs some uh training. So I want you to come over later this week for dinner and taste test some of her food. Do this for me and I'll help you with Fluttershy." You nodded knowing she'd help you but you didn't know who Sweetie Belle was.
"Alright I'm game just try to help me please."
"Oh calm down Dante I already agreed to help you." You sighed and walked towards the front door before taking once glance towards Rarity she only waved goodbye as you exited the boutique.
A few minutes later...
Now to deal with Trixie. You said to yourself as you walked towards town square. As you walked forward you felt an odd feeling as if someone was watching you. You sighed and let out an eerie whistle the whistle amplified through out the area as you saw Eris sitting near the fountain.
I don't have time for this dammit. You walked towards the fountain as Eris looked into the rippling water, her butt flaunting around as she tried to get the bits in the water.
"E, what the hell are you doing here?!" You harshly whispered as you pulled her away from fountain.
"I need an adult I need an adult!!!" She shouted as ponies simply walked past you and the freaked out mare.
"E shut up you know I'm the only who can see you and hear you." You said hitting her upside the head as she stopped squirming only to see you.
"Oh thank god you're here Dante I swear I thought I was getting my ass touched by some creepy weirdo."
"You're a fucking idiot E, I'm the only one who can touch you again the only one."
"Jeez who stuck a javelin up your ass." She asked walking up to you.
"Girls my friend, girls."
"Alright explain." You began to explain your problem as Eris listen intently you did see several ponies whisper as they walked past you due to the fact that in their eyes you're talking to nobody at all.
"Really girl troubles again? When are you going to stop attracting girls to your sensitive I mean come on be aggressive then you won't have any troubles." Eris seemed smart but in reality she was as dumb as a block of wood.
"E, you know I want to get married when I'm in my late twenties, but you saying this shit isn't really encouraging for god sakes can't you say at least something that could help me. I already have Rarity helping me with the Fluttershy thing." Eris shook her head put an arm around you as she kissed your forehead.
"You're adorable when you're freaking out." You sighed and took her arm off your shoulders walking away from her.
"Ya know that you're not the only pony who can see me."
"What do you mean I'm not the only one?" You asked uncertain if she's telling the truth.
"Well a little filly named Scootaloo can see me so can a mare named Echo Notes can see me and that's because they're fun to be around." She seemed to have nailed the board on that one as she was pretty sure that you'd be jealous, but it was the complete opposite the less time she spent with you the better the life you'd have.
"Good for you E. Finally have someone other than me."
"Oh I got you a present." She took out a small package and gave it to you. You opened it to see that it was in a steel case.
You unlocked the package and your eyes widen as you felt giddy with excitement.
"The gauntlet...the fucking gauntlet. How...how did you get this? Last time I saw this Celestia took it away along with-" You turned the gauntlet to see the jet black diamond on the back.
"No fucking way! No fucking way! You got the crystal back too!? Oh god you know how to surprise me E!"
"Think of it as an early birthday present." You ran up to her and hugged her making several ponies stop and look at you, you didn't care you were hugging one of your best friends who happened to be invisible to the naked eye.
A few minutes later...
You already knew how to use the gauntlet as Eris had played hide n seek with the gauntlet on, telling you to find her while she disappeared and re-appeared. The whole idea of black diamond was to create holes on walls or solid objects it was easy to control but hard to make the solid object to reappear something that was made difficult thanks to the inky residue that lands on the walls preventing any movement if you so happened to mess it up.
You walked towards town square and saw her caravan the stage now empty as ponies went back to their usual business.
It's okay Dante we're just seeing an old friend just calm down. You told yourself as you tried to calm your nerves. You continued to walk and spotted your old friend as you approached you noticed two colts fanning and fawning over your friend.
Snips and Snails, what the? Why are they doing that to Trixie? They must've idolized her as she seem to not really care from what you remembered from Trixie she was shy even with younger kids to the point where she wouldn't even get out of her caravan.
"Trixie!" You shouted as you approached the caravan Trixie opened her eyes as she looked at you not a second later she glared at you anger in her eyes.
"Oh it's you." She said with a different tone of voice
"Yeah it's me so how's life Trix? Haven't spoken to you in years."
"My life was much better after I forgotten about you and your backstabbing ways."
"Wait wait wait backstabbing what do you mean backstabbing, from what I remembered I was the only pony who even considered you a friend, hell I was your first friend me and E were your friends."
"Ah yes E your imaginary friend what help she was when you never came back to see me." She seemed on the edge of yelling at you, she would've been if she wasn't acting snobby
"What the hell do you mean visit you, I had friends all over Canterlot for fucks sakes Trixie I had more than two friends seeing as you didn't have any when you were young."
"Just shut up Dante I didn't need you years ago, and I don't need you now!" She shouted as her horn began to glow light pink.
"I missed you! Trixie I missed you, you were a close friend one of my closest friends." Trixie's horn began to dim as she looked at you still angry but small tears in her eyes.
"What do you mean? Explain!" She shouted with a quivering voice
"Remember when I told you about how my mother was uptight and always wanted me home during the day, well after she found out about me sneaking out she assigned a guard to report to her if I so happened to sneak out. I couldn't see you, I missed my best friend, my only friend." Tears rolled down your eyes as you told Snips and Snails to give you some privacy, they reluctantly obliged as you entered her caravan she sat on her bed as you walked over to her crouching down to see her tears still rolling down her cheeks, you felt sorry for hurting her feelings she might've been stuck up, but she was also your first friend.
"Why couldn't you have written to me? We could've sent letters back and forth."
"How can I? The only time we met was we saw each other in the park near midnight you never told me your home address." You stated
"Don't you remember, my family has been traveling performers for years." You remembered when you two sat in the park just talking as she giggled at your bad jokes, and when you told her about you being a prince she doubted it until you brought your crown with you. Then she thought you were a master thief and even made you her best friend. She never brought you to meet her parents and that always made you suspicious, but then again you never brought her to Celestia so it was fine.
She approached you and hugged you, tears dampened your shirt as you wrapped your arms around her.
"Ten years Dante, ten years and you didn't try to send me a letter, I thought you hated me and then I went around Equestria proving that I was and always will be a powerful unicorn because what you said to me."
"Don't say you aren't strong Trixie you're The Great and Powerful Trixie, no one can match your power and you'll always be strong." She let out a soft giggle as those were the exact words you said to your young unicorn friend.
"What can I do to make you happy to be my friend again?" Trixie began to think it over as her smile turned into a smirk.
"You'll do anything to help me?" She asked
"Yes, anything to make you happy, you're my best friend well besides E, who'd kill me if I say anything else." Again Trixie giggled it was adorable when she lets out small giggles, it was something you adored being around her.
"Well can you please get me a ticket to The Grand Galloping Gala."
"Why do you want a ticket? I thought you didn't like going to big events?" You asked
"Well there will be important agents there, big ones who cover well known artists and actors and I was thinking if they saw me with a prince they'd flock over me, I want to be known around Equestria and a well known name at the same time." She explained as she held your hand.
"I'll do my best I promise you that." Trixie nodded and hugged you, it wouldn't take one favor to clear up ten years of neglect, but it could start with one favor.
Canterlot...
Luna walked out of her room and towards the balcony to see the grand city that her sister had created years ago during her absence. She almost felt a spark of happiness, as she saw the many citizens of her fair kingdom roam in the streets with smiles on their faces.
Luna began to relax her body as she lift up her hand to the sky to rise the moon from its location on the other side of the world. As she did that she spotted a rather small figure fly up towards the sky flying higher and higher to the atmosphere.
Luna seemed obligated to help whoever was trying to hurt themselves as she jumped from her balcony and flew towards the small figure from faraway, it seemed exhausted.
It's wings kept flapping only for it stop mid-flight and continue to struggle flying higher and higher.
Luna caught up with the figure to see it was a young colt seeing him trouble made her worried as she flew up and grabbed him making sure that he wasn't hurt. Luna grabbed the young colt and flew down to a cloud.
"Hey! what's the big deal? Why did you stop me?" The young colt said with pure annoyance. What he wore was less then glamorous he had a mismatched shirt that looked like it was patched up with different pieces of fabric, his pants were ripped they almost looked like shorts. His coat looked gray Luna didn't know if it was his true coat color or if she was seeing a layer of dirt.
"You were flying dangerously close to the edge of our stratosphere. You need to careful young colt your body cannot handle extreme temperatures." Luna informed
"Watch me." He tried to lift off but only to pass out from exhaustion and fall from the cloud they were currently sitting on.
"Let…let me go…I…I still can…" He tried to get away from her grasp but because he had so little energy left ended up just falling sleep with her embrace as she flew them both to the castle. Whoever the young colt was he was hard-headed and seemed determined to accomplishing what ever he had to do.
A few hours later...
It was now 7:00 PM and Luna worried for the young colt the medical staff informed her that the young colt had several cuts on his side and that he was dehydrated they kept saying it was amazing how he isn't dead yet.
Luna sat near the child waiting for him to wake up to ask him what he was doing so dangerously high in the sky. The young colt let out a small groan of pain as his eyes opened, he looked around the room to see that he was in a room warmer then the usual places he's visited before.
"That was a very idiotic thing to do young colt you could've gotten yourself killed." Luna said as she approached the young colt
"Where…where am I? Wait I remember you…you're that crazy mare who got in my way!" He shouted with annoyance yet again
"I am Princess Luna young colt and you shall address me as such."
"Yeah, yeah whatever." He tried to get up from his laid position the best that he could only to fall back on the bed.
"You're hurt you shouldn't be up."
"And you're a princess, you shouldn't be seen with a peasant, life is full of disappointment, now let me leave so I don't 'taint' your reputation." He stated as he slowly rose from bed to stand up.
"And where do you believe I only care for myself? Hmm as far as I'm concerned you're a child in need of help you try to act tough but are you really?" Luna simply stated
"And what do you care, I'm just a crappy peasant with a crappy life, and nobody to turn to, who's going to help me? You?" He asked walking towards the door.
"If you'd like to resume your how you say 'crappy life' go on exit through the door and my guards shall escort you out. Or you could stay in that bed and rest. Your choice I could careless on what you pick." She simply stated, he was about to exit the room but stop and sighed before look at Luna.
"How much is this going to cost me? And just so you know I'm broke."
"Nothing it's hospitality young one. You need to learn to trust others rather then push them away."
"…you kind of need 'others' to be able to push them away in the first place" He sigh and walked back towards the bed.
"Fine, you win." Luna nodded and exited the room letting him rest
Two hours later...
The young colt woke up and looked around to see that the Princess wasn't around. He rose from bed and removed the sheets from his bed and began to tie them together knowing his wings were too tired he had to use other means of escaping.
He threw the sheets out the window and tied one end to a bedpost pulling on it to make it wasn't loose.
He started to climb out the window and go down towards the garden he looked down to see his rope ended near the third floor not enough to get him down. He looked forward to see Princess Luna look at him with disappointment.
"How long have you been waiting there?" He asked
"Half an hour, and yet you try to run." She said shaking her head she quickly grabbed him and flew him back to his room placing him on the bed.
"You know something funny, you haven't even ask why was I so up in the sky on the first place" he says as he sat on the bed.
"Do you care to explain." Luna stated as she brought back in the sheets
"I was trying to reach the moon, happy?" He asked as he looked down embarrassed by the fact that he was caught.
"You do know that the moon is hundreds of thousands of miles away from our planet."
"I never said it was going to be easy, but it was worth a try."
"I admire what you are doing nobody ever looks up to my moon and says one day I'll get there. Most just simply have to deal with it." Luna said with a smile
"What do you mean 'your moon'? I was trying to go there, so I can see the mare on the moon, I once heard she live there all alone and thought that she must be really sad so I though that if I moved there, then she wouldn't feel lonely." He tells her not knowing the whole story since it was still a couple weeks before all of Luna's subjects to know about her return.
"That was me young colt granted I was Nightmare during the time, but many years ago I was sent there because of pure jealousy and just a few weeks ago I returned as Nightmare moon only for my sister Princess Celestia to send her student and five others to purify me with elements of harmony on their side. I thanked them for what they did and will continue for as long as I live." Luna said with a small smile she seemed relaxed when talking about it.
"You're the mare on the moon? Why did you return? This world is just boring…they don't even look at the night, they think that the day is better, what's better about plain blue sky when you can have stars and constellations?" He asked making Luna blush as she had someone compliment her nights.
"You have to understand that not everyone needs to love what you and I love, yes I love my nights but the things is not everyone loves the morning either there are many ponies who love the night and thrive in it like bat ponies. Many in Equestria enjoy the night and are ready to follow it."
"I thought that, when I say I like the nights, everypony just thought I was a freak and a dark follower, whatever that means, I never had real friends, and my parents were never there for me when I was little, I was always alone, that's why I thought you might understand, how I felt." He stated with a frown
"Having no friends and being an outcast? Yes I know how you feel and I know why you're feeling that." Luna says with a frown
"You do?"
"Not everyone has a happy life."
"Yeah I can relate to that, I mean this bed and bandages are probably the best thing that will ever happen to me, and it'll end soon." His stomach start to grumble as it signal he was hungry. "Sorry."
"Do not worry you are my guest and I'll keep you safe for the time being."
"Thanks, ah…well…princess, exactly how much longer can I stay here? I don't want to become a burden."
"As long as you need like I said you're my guest."
"But…but, is it ok? I hear stories, royals hating peasants, they think we're going to infect them with some virus or something, why do you want someone you hate as a guest?" He asked
"There was once a peasant boy who became part of the royal family and I think you could fit right in if the other boy could." Luna smiled and kissed the young colt's forehead.
"Do you really think so?" He asked Luna nodded and rose from her seat walking towards the door but before she exited she stopped and turned
"Raiden, My name, its Raiden I don't think I told you yet." She nodded and exited the room getting his supper.
A few minutes later...
Luna had gotten Raiden a bowl of soup making sure it was warm, but not too hot for him. As he drank the soup he looked up at Luna who was currently reading a book.
"Princess…do you mind if watch you while you work? I always dreamed to see how you made your nights."
"Of course it'll be grand to have someone oversee what I do as Princess of the night."
"Thanks princess, you're the best." Raiden surprised her by giving her a hug.
Dante...
"I don't see it Dante. Why would a gauntlet with magical proficiency choose you as it's master? Any other pony I could understand, but you that's seems far-fetched." Twilight stated as she had organized the books for second time today.
"Oh come on Twi look if you just train me to use it we'll be hunky dory." You were currently trying to get Twilight into helping you unlock the secrets of the very gauntlet you stole when you were a child.
"I said no. You're human and you don't understand the magical properties that the rest of us unicorns have to follow and I rather not have you mess with magic remember that time when Shining taught you to wield a sword." You rolled your eyes as you remembered that day, you and Twilight had became close, but not to the point where you were best of friends more like tolerated each other for the limited amount of time you saw each other for.
"Shining told me I need practice with my swipes and I did as I was told. Also that was with a sword not magic."
"You almost stabbed me!" Twilight shouted
"Alright that's not fair you so happened to be in the way. Plus you snuck in there when Cadence took you out for that modeling gig she tried to put me in."
"You could've at least used wooden swords!"
"Hey, Shining graduated me to steel swords so we used those even Celestia knew about it and already to have me train with swords." Twilight looked as if she wanted to end the conversation then and there but heard a rather loud roar come from outside.
"What was that?" You asked
Twilight ran towards the window and looked out to see an Ursa Minor rampaging just outside.
"This isn't over Twi." You said before running out the door with Twilight right behind.
As you got closer you now understood why they called a creature like that an Ursa Minor. It looked like something out of video game but then again your life felt like a video game at times.
"What do we do?" You asked Twilight as she look around to see that ponies started to panic.
"Try to calm down everyone so they won't get in the way I'll handle Ursa Minor." You nodded as Twilight ran forward to the large creature, times like this you wished that you had magic, but instead you got the power of having people notice and follow your directions.
It seemed that everypony in town were frightened by the large creature and didn't want anything to do with the commotion. You commanded them to stay in their homes and not to come out until it was safe, most followed some tried to be Heroes and you had to tell them that Twilight had it covered which made them relieved.
Man I gotta get myself some magic then maybe ponies will listen to me more often. You continued to do your job until everyone agreed to stay in their homes, it took a few minutes which was a relief to Twilight as she looked visibly relaxed that nobody would get hurt. Something you admired of your friend was her determination something that lacked in most ponies but with her it was something unique.
Am I getting a crush on Twilight? Oh god I hope not. You said to yourself.
Instead of hurting the Ursa Minor Twilight simply lulled it to sleep which was pretty exciting to see the more you wanted to learn to wield magic.
Twilight then took the Ursa home making sure not to disturb it. You approached the area where the Ursa had destroyed you looked around to see Trixie caravan damaged beyond repair.
"Oh no no no no please be okay please be okay." You were close to crying until you saw Trixie hiding from the area. You slowly approached her and hugged her with all you could give giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Oh thank god you're okay!" You said happily as she only stood petrified after seeing the whole ordeal.
Trixie tried pushing you away after a few minutes of hugging, but you stayed on her you didn't want to lose her like you did many years ago.
"Dante please let me go." You nodded and stopped hugging much to her relief.
"Dante my things. Everything it's gone." You were worried about her she didn't seem upset nor did she seem angry just monotone and it made you feel slightly uncomfortable.
"Are you okay?" You asked concerned for her mental standings.
"I don't know I...I...I...need to sit down for a second." You nodded as you slowly placed her on the ground she only looked at the spot that her caravan was in replaced by debris.
"Are you okay do you need anything?" You asked
"No no I'm fine." She shook her head your friends approached you and her they were mostly concerned with you.
"I'm going to leave Dante maybe we'll see each other later." She says as she rose from the ground she started to walk away only for you to stop her.
"What are you doing Dante?" She asked not angry nor annoyed just curious.
"And where will you go? Your home is destroyed." She only shrugs as if she didn't care.
"Trixie you aren't going anywhere." You simply stated
"Dante please let go of me." Your friends saw what you were doing and were confused by your persistence.
"Trixie I'm not letting you go like those years of neglect I'm your friend and I'll continue to do so until we start hating each other again." She only looked down not caring what you had to say.
"I promise I'll try my best to find you a temporary home." She looked at you with a slight smile before looking down once more
You walked towards your friends knowing they might help.
"Girls I need your help. Trixie needs a temporary home and I promised that I'd help her out." Your friends only glared at Trixie as she looked down to her hooves.
"Please girls she's one of my oldest friends and I want her to feel happy I've neglected her for years and want her to smile and I want to patch things up with her."
"Sorry Dante, what she did can't be undone." AJ stated
"I agree what she did was unforgivable." Rarity stated with slight annoyance
"Please girls do this for me as a favor." You practically begged
"I could give her a room." Fluttershy said shyly
"Really Shy you'd help?"
"Of course! A friend of yours is a friend of mine." You hugged Fluttershy with happiness as you gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Thank you Shy thank you! I can't thank you enough!" Fluttershy blushed and smiled
"Are you sure about those Fluttershy you do know what she did to us. Right?" Rainbow asked
"Of course, but everyone deserves a second chance." You walked back towards Trixie as she sat on the ground.
"Trixie, a friend of mine agreed to take you in."
"Really? Who?" You pointed to Fluttershy who was currently talking to her friends
"Thank you Dante I'm sorry you had to see me like this."
"Please try to get along with her I know what you did to my other friends." She nodded as she hugged you.
"I'll try my best."
A few minutes later...
You sat in complete silence on top of the roof of the many buildings of Ponyville, Eris was by your side smoking. She passed you her cigarette as you took a drag. You let the nicotine enter your lungs with great deal of breath.
"Man crazy day huh old friends coming by, and you kissing and hugging your future wife."
"Fuck you E."
"What I'm stating facts hell she's fucking loving you and you're totally oblivious like always."
"E I'm just trying to survive alright you rising my ass about Shy isn't helping. Since I'm still convincing Twilight to teach me how to use that damn gauntlet why don't you make yourself useful and get me more cigarettes."
"Alright calm down I'll be back." Eris disappeared as you flicked the cigarette butt.
You laid on the roof as you looked up to the stars and moon.
"Hey uh you okay." You opened your eyes to see A beautiful Royal blue bat pony mare with sapphire colored eyes, and stunning white mane and tail, she looked mostly like a normal Pegasus a side from her wings and small fangs. Her cutie mark was of a line of musical notes like you'd see in sheet music only they curved like they were heading back to each other.
"Oh uh I'm fine what's your name?" You asked
"Echo Notes yours?"
"Dante Knight. What are you doing up here?" You asked
"What are you doing up here?" She asked
"Smoking with a friend."
"Smoking huh? Wanna go do something I'm sure you're bored up here. I have some spray cans and stencils lets go tag?" She said with a smile
"You're like a fourteen year old. I like it lets go." You rose from the roof and jumped off as she flew beside you. Next Chapter: 6.Dragonshy A.K.A nothing to do with episode Estimated time remaining: 3 Hours, 34 Minutes
