A Few Good Stallions
Chapter 5: A nice day can change everything.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI will get into less tragedy and more comedy now. Hopefully I won't confuse any of you readers.
Forest's POV
I knocked on Fluttershy's door hoping that she would answer. I seriously hope Static can rub some luck on me. No homo.
"Oh Forest..." She opened the door and was for some reason extremely happy. "Your just on time. I was about to get you."
"Well let's make sure this day gets better." She let me in her house. It was a small cozy wood cabin. The kinda place that will always welcome you home no matter what dark deed you have done. I loved it. "Would you like to meet my animals?"
"Sure." She began to hum this heavenly melody and you guessed it everyone came out. They instantly loved me. Even Angel Bunny. Probably because I smell like a forest or have tree blood. I'm Woody. There after my hard wood. I can keep these going all day.
"They sure like you." Why is she so quiet? Even at home.
"This is a good sign I hope." We went outside and every single plant she was watering grew and sprouted to us and trust me when I say this, Nature has never been so beautiful.
"If you can do this then I would love to get to know you better." Is she hitting on me? That's my job! She took my Jerb!
"Time and date my friend." Let's keep this professional. Oh I want to ask her out now! But I can't put pressure and this sweet little angel.
"We can go for a walk. I need to pick up some food anyways."
"Is the food for us or the animals? Either way I'm paying." I am glad we cashed in that lottery ticket last night. I got 40,000. Sky gets 40,000 and Static gets what's left. That seems totally fair.
"Are you asking me out?"
"Yes I am." I did not mean to say that. Slip of my tongue!
"I've never been on a date before and by such a nice and handsome stallion. Of course I would like that." You've never been asked out? What kind of world is this!
"Then lets go." I took her hoof and we both walked into town hoping to find a nice restaurant.
Sky's POV
I knocked on the door of Sugercube Corner in which Mr. Cake greeted me. "Oh you must be the nice stallion Pinkie is going to meet. Please treat her nice."
"Oh you got it!" Pinkie Pie then came out from below Mr. Cake. How is that? But-But She was... What?
"Hey Sky! Are you ready?"
"I sure am. I got a ton of bits for this day." 40,000 to be exact. She jumped on my back. "Hiho Sky. Away!" I immediately began to fly. She was enjoying it at least. I'd ask her for a song but I don't need this much excitement. How did I get so good at flying. We made to the town square in 21 seconds.
"Wanna get some food? I'm starving."
"I really would like some food. Where's the best place to chow down?"
"Over there." she pointed to a fancy restaurant. We sat down and a fancy pony greeted us.
"Good evening. I will be your waiter today. What may I get for you?"
"I want two daffodil sandwiches and a lemonade." He then looked at me. "Any you?"
"Same thing." Great. Didn't think this through. No meat. Just a flower sandwich. No really it's fucking great. I looked over to see Static and Twilight trotting at a nice pace to go somewhere. He was holding a couple of bags for her. I guess he is Spike for the day. That was really funny this morning. The waiter brought are food out. I saw Pinkie digging in and looked at my flower power sandwich. This had better taste good.
"Oh wow." It was amazing. Better than anything I can cook that's for sure.
"Hey Sky!" I heard on my left. I looked over and saw Forest and Fluttershy. Not bad.
"Hey Forest! What are you doing?"
"I'm enjoying a meal with my new friend." He mouthed 'its a date' so he wouldn't start a scene. That a boy.
"Are you on a date too?" Asked Pinkie. Way to ruin our secretive fun.
"Yes." Fluttershy said quietly. A few ponies walked by and some would say "Hey." or "I want to date someone as cute as him." That was not bad or anything. However I was eavesdropping on a mint green and tan pony on a bench nearby. Lyra and Bon-bon if I remember.
"Did you hear? Twilight is dating that cute unicorn." The green one said while in a human position.
"Static Wielder? There's something weird about him." The tan one said.
"What?"
"He comes falling into town, gets a party, sleeps with Twilight, next I bet you there shopping." Ironically she didn't know but behind her was Static holding all of Twilight's bags. They were both heading to the Boutique.
"Maybe Twilight is a slut."
"Doubt it. She's a total virgin. But she has never opened herself to a guy like that before."
"Then maybe he's either special or a freak. You know how crazy she can get. He might be as crazy as her." I can not stand when someone calls my friend a freak or something like that. You don't understand what some people go through to survive and Static is a survivor. I know because when I slept on the couch I felt a bunch of memories come fly into my head. I looked at Forest who was also eavesdropping. He tapped his hoof on the ground and a branch of poison ivy grew between them.
"What's this?"
"It looks like a weed." The idiots are touching it. Nice. Still these memories were of us fighting and surviving. I dreamed about them. I definitely need to ask the princess about this. Hopefully Twilight sends a letter soon.
"What are you two doing?" asked Pinkie Pie. "Sky your not eating are you okay?"
"Yeah just a little distracted. Enjoying the meal?"
"Yes its great."
"Want some desert?"
"I brought some." She pulled a tray of muffins out of nowhere.
"Your so random Pinkie Pie." She gave me a happy smile. Forest and Fluttershy were both eating some sandwiches and soup. This is a good day for a date. I looked up to see a rainbow blur in the sky clearing clouds. I wonder what the others are doing?
Static's POV
"I haven't met Rarity yet. How is she?" I asked Twilight. She wasn't at the party.
"She's a very generous pony and good friend. She will be happy to meet you." We opened the door to Rarity's.
"Good evening Twilight. Who's your friend. A nice and handsome stallion doesn't walk in every day."
"Flatterer." I said.
"I am Rarity. Do you want your dress Twilight?"
"Yes please Rarity. May I try it on first?"
"Of course. I need to see you in it anyways." I wasn't paying attention to them. I was watching the white cat with a bow. We were having a stare down.
"Opal be nice sweetie." Rarity walked with Twilight to the next room.
Twilight's POV
"Thanks for fixing up my gala dress Rarity."
"It's no problem sweetie. Just a few stitches and we... are... done!" Twilight was looking in the mirror.
"It looks like its brand new. Thank you so much."
"Once again no problem. Who's your new friend."
"That is Static Wielder. He's one of the new ponies that came into town yesterday I'm sure you heard."
"How do you know I heard?"
"Your the best at gossip."
"Thanks for the compliment. Which one was he. The one who carried the other to the Library or the one who got a bag full of money."
"He was the one who passed out."
"Oh that one. The one who fell?"
"Yes."
"Wonderful. Not that its wonderful he fell. I mean I'm glad to know he can take a hit or something like that." I wonder what Rarity is going to ask next.
"Twilight I heard a rumor that you were sleeping with him." WHAT?!
"No not like that!"
"You have the most wonderful shade of red in you blush."
"Stop it! He needed a place to stay and that is that."
"Then why are you taking it so seriously?"
"I... I... You got me there. I kinda... like him. But we did not have sex!"
*gasp* "Oh hooray Twilight! This is great! You finally have a date!"
"Stop teasing." We both walked out of the dressing room to see Static rubbing and playing with Opalescence and her mouse. How do you get a beast like her to calm down?
"How did you ever get her to play Static?" Rarity must not know how to take care of her cat. Opal hissed at her.
"Like this." He said and gave Opal a small flick on her nose. She stopped and looked at him. He then rubbed her head and said "Good Kitty."
"That is an amazing dress Twilight!" Is he actually admiring me. Oops I forgot to take of the dress. Come on! Don't miss this up.
*giggle* "Thank you Static." I giggled again. I need to stop that.
"Do you have a suit Mr. Wielder?" Rarity asked him.
"Uh no I don't."
"Then I will make you one. Black really suits you with you hair and orange fur. It is going to look splendid with your dress Twilight- oops." She quickly left. Did she really say that? Oh no! Now he knows I like him! I wonder what's he thinking about. Probably a way to tease me like those kids in school. Oh not again!
Static's POV again
She like me she like me she like me! Oh how awesome!
"You ready to go Twilight?"
"I need to take off this dress." she went back into the dressing room in a hurry. I wonder what's going outside. Here's a list of things I saw.
1. Lyra and Bon-bon scratching like crazy.
2. Sky and Forest both on dates.
3. Rainbow Dash clear the sky.
4. A trio of kids walking this way. I remember them. The crusaders right?
"Rarity I'm home." said the small white unicorn with pink and periwinkle curled hair. "Hi mister! Are you knew 'round here?" said the small tan one with red hair and a bow. "I saw you yesterday when I was bowling." said the orange pegasus with purple hair. Oh yeah.
"Rarity is home, I'm new here, and yes that was me yesterday." Glad I listened to everyone.
"I'm Sweetie Belle." said the unicorn.
"I'm Applebloom." said the earth pony with the bow.
"I'm Scootaloo." said the orange pegasus.
"And were the Cutie Mark Crusaders."
"Nice to meet the three of you. What do you do?"
"We are trying to find our special talent." said Applebloom.
"But we haven't had any luck." said Sweetie Belle.
"I'm sure you girls will find it someday."
"When did you get yours?"
"When I was 3." I shouldn't have said that.
"You found you talent when you were 3!" said Scootaloo. Look what I started.
"Were never going to find ours." said Applebloom.
"Hey kids. Listen. I got mine without even knowing it. Look." I lifted my pants leg to show them my star. "I'm good with magic. The reason I had to practice magic is because I am the only unicorn in my family. I did it to rebel against my evil father who hated me for it."
"How does that help us?" asked Sweetie Belle.
"It means don't lose hope. We're nothing without hope. Without it you would be better off dead."
"He's right girls." said Scoots. (Yeah I'm going to start shortening names.) "We can't give up yet. We have to show those kids at school that we mean business."
"Yeah!" the others said while walking outside. "Thanks mister!"
"You just saved me about 45 minutes of time Static." said Rarity.
"That was a nice lesson." said Twilight. "You sound like you would fight for something like hope."
"I learned it the hard way. I'm saving these kids the trouble and pain. How much for the suit Rarity?"
"Well... let's see. How about nothing!"
"Really? Thanks."
"All I asks is you treat Twilight right!" I watched as Twilight was about to explode. Time to strike a deal!
"You got it Rarity." I gave Twi a reassuring wink. She almost fainted.
"Glad to hear. Take care!" we both left the boutique.
"You really mean that?" asked Twilight. Time to settle this Static.
A. Tell her yes and get a date.
B. Say no and break her heart.
C. Play hard to get. Well that would make me an asshole so lets go with A.
"Of course I meant it. What kind of guy breaks a girl's heart? Not me." She gave me a hug which forced a lot of blood to my face. "Wanna go out Twilight Sparkle?"
"Yes Static Wielder." Its a dream come true! What a really nice day this turned out to be.
