A Few More Good Stallions.
Chapter 12: Do not blame me for this train mystery.
Previous Chapter Next ChapterSo okay, I hate to sound a little slow but I just learned about the whole Royal Wedding with Twilight's brother. When the hell did she have a brother?! Why wasn't I informed of this? I could have done a great story in the past! Freaking Hasbro...
It was the next day in my life. I had a good sleep and a decent breakfast but now Pinkie wanted us all in Ponyville. By the time Kay and I got their she tore the wall off the train.
"Pinkie! What are you doing!" I yelled at the pink pony.
"I'm making sure the Cakes' magnificent cake makes it safe to the Canterlot Desert Competition."
"And you destroy the train? You do know their is a door right there."
"This is a guaranteed way to get the cake inside!" she said happily. I am too tired to complain right now. We all got on the train while Big Macintosh nailed the wall from the outside. I went to the bathroom so I didn't have to listen to all the chefs argue about whose desert is better. God... I hate sweets. I really do. Too much sugar and too sweet. It's just... disgusting.
"Shadow! Whose desert do you think is better?" asked Pinkie when I went back inside.
"I hate sweets. You can all lose for all I care." I said truthfully. Now Kay on the other hoof loves sweets.
"Dustin! Don't say that!" said Kay.
"I'll do what I want. Besides I'm too tired."
"How can you hate sweets!" started Rainbow Dash. "What kind of pony are you?"
"I'm a human you ignoramus!" God I love my accent.
"Well don't yell at me bub!" she said in defense.
I put my hoof on my eye to rub the sand out of it. "I'm sorry Dash. Just a little cranky. That's what happens when you wake me up at 4 in the morning."
"And it took you this long to get here?"
"I just wanted to stop for 1 muffin. 1! But Kay wouldn't let me. Then she teleported here without me making me fly." She blew me a raspberry. I stuck my tongue at her. "Do any of you guys have a muffin?"
"We have deserts." said the chefs. "And we don't want someone as repulsive as you to eat them." Ouch. That actually hurts.
"Repulsive huh? Alright." I turned for the door to the next cabins. "Goodbye!" I slammed the door behind me. What can I do as I wait on a train all night? No muffins. The chefs are douche bags. You know what would be funny... If someone ate all their deserts. Let's see here. We got Pinkie's MMHmm thingy. Got a griffon with eclairs. Got a donkey with a chocolate moose. Then theirs a guy with donuts. Donuts sound good but I don't want any of their food. They offended me. I'll just eavesdrop.
"What if one of them tries to sabotage the cake?" asked Pinkie. Everyone else giggled.
"Pinkie. No one is going to sabotage your cake." I just might... No! What am I thinking... I'll definitely just let someone else do it. I know someone is. She keeps describing it in a delicious way and everyone else watches it with greedy eyes. The way she brags about it... The poor cake deserves to be sabotaged. I got behind the door when everyone else came in. They went into the second door on the left. Guess that's where I sleep. I walked in.
"Where were you?" asked Rainbow Dash.
"Talking to the conductor." I lied.
"And we should believe you?!"
"Rainbow listen to yourself. Your yelling at me for talking to a guy who drives a train." She stopped and realized how big of a fool she was making out of herself. But she didn't stand down.
"Or what? Your going to kill us too?!"
"Rainbow!" yelled Twilight.
"You just had to go their huh?" I asked her. "Thanks Rainbow. Thanks a fucking lot!" I kicked open the door and slammed in behind me. Damn that stupid cunt! Erg! DAMMIT! I need to take this anger out of my system. I walked through the other carts to see Pinkie protecting a cake. She glared at me.
"Relax Pinkie. I need someone to talk too." I asked her.
"What's wrong?"
"Rainbow's just being a nuisance."
"She bring up what happened yesterday?"
"Yeah." Awkward silence. "What are you doing?"
"I'm protecting this cake from any saboteurs!"
"Who would do that Pinkie?" I asked her.
"You maybe." I thought about it. "The chefs most likely!"
"Well I won't. I hate sweets."
"You hate them and that's why you'll destroy them!"
"Hahahaha! That sounds about right. I'm going to the roof. Call if you need me." I went through the back cabins and flew up to the roof to clear my head.
"Let's see. I killed Singing Blade for reals. I get the day off and then I have to help with a cake. I still can't wrap my head around the Spike thing. He wouldn't do that..." I stared up at the sky with the stars just beginning to appear. "Wish someone would come up to talk with me." Then again I need to get used to being alone. I have this feeling that if I keep up this whole spy thing then... I might get stabbed in the back for it. Who knows. Tia and Luna maybe...
"Spike wouldn't do what?" asked Twilight from behind me.
"Nothing. I was just talking to myself." How long has she been their?
"Thanks for coming Shadow. Static was busy with work. He got too many deliveries and he also had to take care of Sage for the day."
"It's no problem. Where are Sky and Forest?"
"Playing hookey." Those bastards! Leave me here by myself will they? "Sorry about Rainbow. She's just a little jumpy."
"I know. Don't worry about me Twilight."
"Oh... okay." She quieted down. I know she's worried but I'm not so why is she? "But you were talking about Spike."
"Your not going to drop it are you!" Do I have to yell to get it through her head? "Spike was part of the group the day before yesterday! Alright! Yes he's in trouble and yes he tried to get in my pants when I was a mare. Sorry I had to yell but I didn't want to tell you."
"It's okay Dustin! I'm fine!"
"No your not. I read the report and you went to therapy for months did you not?"
"Alright I'm not fine. What did you do to him?"
"I taught him a lesson about hitting girls." We both heard a noise from the dessert cabin. "Twilight... How was your wedding?"
"It was the best day of my life!"
"I see. I hope mine turns out good then!" I couldn't help but smile. "I really do love Kay. Now I'm going to marry my childhood friend and be a dad... It feels great!"
"That's kind of how Static felt."
"Static Wielder. He's been avoiding me since yesterday."
"We're just not used to death in this world Dustin. Not like you."
"I grew up with it Twilight. The world I came from was a world full of hate."
"Then why would you ever want to go back?"
"Because it was my world. My home. Hopefully you won't have to see it. I can't describe how beautiful the Earth is but the destruction blocks it. Make any sense?"
"No."
"Let's just drop it." The sun completely dropped. I went back to star gazing.
"I'm going to go back to bed."
"Goodnight then." She went back down. "Nice talking with you." I heard a BONK noise from below. Guess Pinkie's going wild. I went back down to my cabin but couldn't see so I equipped my goggles. Night vision rules! I saw Rarity come in through the Desert car holding her right eye. She do something? I went inside my cabin and saw that all the beds were taken. Rarity grabbed the last one and they were small beds so you couldn't share. I looked inside the other cabins with the chefs in it. They had lots of spare beds but they wouldn't share with a ruffian on me. Guess I'm sleeping on the roof. I got back up to my spot and played with my goggles. I was bored. Awake. Aware. Alone. Lost and far from home. Why did they really bring me back here? I cut my Night vision off.
"Guess god has other plans for me." I close my eyes for a second and opened them seeing it was day time. I didn't even get to dream. I haven't dreamed much since that whole comatose thing a few years back. I climbed back down and took off my goggles. I went into the room seeing all the ponies panic. They were all gasping and scared as Pinkie was making these odd accusations. About what? It's not like the cake... Oh. No. There we go. I see it now. Someone got a little hungry huh?
"Hey guys. What's going on?" I asked. I also saw the other deserts were ruined. They all stared at me with angry eyes. "What?"
3 minutes later
The chefs opened the door of the moving train and most of the girls except Kay and Twilight picked me up and headed for the door.
"It wasn't me! I was sleeping on the roof!"
"The culprit escaped on the roof!" said Pinkie Pie. "We got you red-hoofed." They all threw me out. I looked to see I was going downhill.
"Oh... shit." I hit the ground and rolled down the hill hitting about 9 trees. "Oof! Ah! Dammit!" I finally hit the bottom and landed in a thorn bush. "*cough cough* I didn't do anything..." I climbed out and tried to fly. My right wing was broken.
"God dammit *cough cough* fucking ponies." I pulled out the thorns and climbed back uphill. I got to the train tracks in about 40 minutes and looked around. To my left was nothing. To my right was Canterlot about 4 miles away. "Guess I'm hiking it huh?" All because of a stupid muffin! I can't fly! I'm walking with a limp for god's sake! Why didn't Twilight or Kay help me? I saw them. "*cough cough*" I think I broke a rib. No make it all of them...
About 4 hours of walking and complaining later...
I was bleeding a lot. My nose. My right eye (It's okay. I use my left eye to aim.) and I had a cut above my right eye. I finally made it back to Canterlot. The contest was over and all the ponies were laughing and having a good time. Those motherfucking cunts! I would kill you all if I was a psycho... which you had better be praying to god 'Hallelujah!" because I'm not!
"Dustin! You made it!" said Twilight. I lifted my head and showed her my face. I was just a bottle of pure rage right now.
"Fuck you!" I yelled at her. "Fuck all of you!" I limped away. I am not in any fucking mood to talk to them. And you know what? I'm not saying sorry. Why should I? They just threw me out of a train going about 50 mph! I had to walk the last 4.
"Come back!" yelled Rainbow Dash.
"I said Fuck you! That means Screw you and fuck off! Ow! This hurts so fucking bad!" I popped my left hoof back in place making them all flinch. "I hated sweets! Did I not tell you that! I did nothing and you threw me out of a train!" I popped my neck getting them to flinch again. "Where's the hospital! My wing is broke and I am so tired right now..." None of them came to help me. I couldn't see out of my right eye. It was all red. Pinkie hopped over to me.
"I'm really really really sorry!" When she touched me I growled like a mad dog. She backed off.
"Hey she was only trying to help!" yelled one of the chefs.
"Why should I listen to you? I'm a ruffian! You said it yourself!" Kay tried to hold most of them back.
"Guys. Trust me he's not in the mood." she so totally knows me. That's why I love hr. She knows when to give you your space. Twilight teleported in front of me to stop me.
"Stop right their mister!"
"Do not blame me for this train mystery. I have done absolutely nothing wrong and you guys, My fucking friends, just threw me away like trash. That makes me feel so special." Twilight smacked me. She held up her hoof and smacked me.
"Oh she shouldn't have done that." said Kay backing off. I bared my teeth at the shaking Twilight who slowly backed away. My left eye was red. I had to keep my right one closed. I held up my head and yelled. I just screamed to the sky as literal black fire came out. Once again I was not in the mood. My left wing got bigger and the blade extruded out of the top. My right one hung to my side since they broke it. My hair was black with smoke coming from it.
"I told you to fuck off!" I yelled at her. "No go away now!" She ran to her friends. I really need to poop. If I do I can just get this anger out of me. "Grr! Where is the outhouse!" I yelled. Celestia pointed to her left. "Good!"
5 minutes of good pooping later.
I came out back in my normal state. I was trying to whistle but it was just a mixed sound of spit noises. Why can't I whistle? It's the only thing I want to learn how to do. I also can't eat spicy food. Static should have that same problem. I was fine though. The girls... weren't.
"I'm fine guys." I said trying to get them to look at me. "*sigh* Come on girls. What's wrong?"
"You are." said Rainbow Dash. They all turned to see me. The princesses weren't here and neither was Kay.
"Look I'm sorry alright. I just can't keep that much anger built up inside of me."
"Your a monster." said Fluttershy quietly. That was... just... the worst thing I have ever heard in my life.
I looked in a mirror across from them. The right side of my face was dried up blood and I had cuts and bruises all over me. My wing was broken and I was just a mess. I could see the tears in my one good eye. "*sigh* I guess I am..." I walked away with my head hung low. I'm a monster? But it's their fault. So why am I to blame here? Did I ruin their day? This is all I ever do. I just cause trouble. I'm not going to cry however. They just made me so mad. If only they just listened to Kay. Then Static, Forest, and Sky made their way in front of me. "Look guys. I said I was sorry."
"We heard everything." said Forest. "Dude you look like shit."
"I was thrown from a fast train down a hill and hit a bunch of trees and thorn bushes... So yeah shit sounds about right."
"Thanks for not hurting anyone Dustin." said Static. I looked to see all the girls quiet and just looked at me. When I wasn't looking Static pulled me in for a hug.
"Aw... dammit." I gave him a pat on the back.
"We're sorry dude." said Sky getting in on the hug.
"Don't feel down." said Forest getting in on the love.
"You guys... *sigh* I try." The girls all looked sad. They just now thought about what they said. "Apparently I'm a ruffian, I'm a saboteur, and I'm a monster. All in one day." I said it loud enough for everyone to hear. They all came in for a group hug. I didn't fight it. "Do you guys seriously know where the Hospital is?" They all laughed a little. "Guys, I'm serious. This is killing me." I pointed to my wing.
"I can help you." said Fluttershy. She's the animal expert and in their eyes... humans are animals.
"That's sounds great."
"Sorry for hitting you." said Twilight. "I just didn't know you were so stressed."
"It's part of my everyday life Twilight. I just never let it out. Apology accepted." All because of a fucking muffin!
