After hearing Rarity seemingly gush over how apparently she finds me attractive. I heard them walking towards the kitchen doors.

“Rarity, at least keep it civil while he is around, I don’t think you, or any of us, needs to be distracted by the fact that-” While Twilight’s voice drew closer I quickly dashed across the room, vaulted over the first chair I saw, plopped into it, quickly stood to grab my drink then sat back down with feet propped up on the table.

Poor Fluttershy on the other hand only watched in confusion.

“Jeff, what are you-” the doors bursted open, causing Fluttershy to jump back with an audible ‘eek!’ dodging the door that was swinging right in front of her.

“-We need to focus on getting him better.”

“y-yeah, right, getting him better.” Without looking I could tell she was composing herself from almost melting at the very thought of me just simply being without my shirt on. Kinda hurt that she was more focused on that minor detail over the fact that I was burning like I was on fire during the whole ordeal. Oh well, Got her attention on something right?

I kicked back with one hand behind my head while the other was gently swishing my sarsaparilla bottle, which tasted like an awesome homemade orangesicle; Taking another sip I heard them come back into the living room.

“Fluttershy, what are you doing there?” Rarity noticed Her as she clumsily came back over to one of the living room chairs.

“Oh, uhm, nothing really, was about to enter the kitchen for something before you almost hit me with the doors.”

“Sorry Flutters, didn’t think anypony was right in front of the door.” Twilight returned to her seat as well Rarity took my previous seat.

“Jeff, get those messy things off the table.” Rarity gently moved one of my feet with her magic before I completely removed them from off the table.

“Oh sorry, didn’t think of it, at least it isn’t muddy outside.”

“Yes, fortunately.” She glanced to Twilight before looking back at me.

“I’m sure, you have told Fluttershy about your side of the story.”

“y-yeah, uhm, he told me about how Yuckquil is kinda like liquid chalk.”

“Yuckquil?” Rarity tilted her head in confusion while Twilight almost spat handmade sode all over the nice marble table.

“Y-Yuckquil?” Twilight fought a giggled, “What kind of name is Yuckquil?”

“It’s what I’m calling that shit-Sorry, I mean-” I glanced to Rarity, “-stuff,” Back to Twilight, “Zecora made for me, might as well christin the muck before It becomes my daily regimen of X-ray hellfire.

“Hmm, I think, Detectaphlin sounds more professional Don't you think girls?”

“I don’t think I’ll be able to not call it Yuckquil after hearing it now darling.” Rarity admitted pondering with a hoof on her chin.

“Rarity…”

“Sorry Twi.”

“uhm, I have to agree with her on this.” Fluttershy nodded in agreement, “Yuckquil kinda has a, foreboding sound to it.”

“You are both no help at all!”

All the while I was laughing at them, “Yes!” I did a double fist pump but with rocker signs instead fists. “I’ve officially named a new medicine!”

“No you didn’t, I’m still calling it Detectaphlin!”

“But that’s a mouthful Twilight, who in the right mind is going to go up to a doctor to get a prescription of “Detectaphlin”? I think everyon-pony, anyway- Will get a better kick out of Yuckquil.”

“ugh, but why?” Rarity was giggling away while Fluttershy was having issues keeping a poker face.

“I don’t know, I guess it kinda tickles the curiosity with the mystery of the liquidness of Yuckquil.” Rarity snapped a look at me as if she caught onto my words before looking back to Twilight. I think a very faint glint of blush blinked across her face.

“I guess so, but for public sake, we’ll call it Detecaphlin.” Twilight had gotten up to lift her saddle bags back onto her back.

“Agreed?” she cocked a brow at me seeing if I’m going to comply.

“Sure, but how does this sound?” I cleared my throat, then, holding my, now empty bottle in one hand like how Hamlet would hold the skull of york.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, Behold as I hold in my hand, Yuckquil! an Elixir of revealing detection!” I waved my hand over the bottle like as if it was the muck itself. “Feeling cursed? Not sure if you got constipation or a tumor in your stomach? Then fret not, for a healthy serving of this wonderful Detection spell in liquid form will reveal any alliment once invisible to the naked eye! once taken it will temporary strip away the physical shell of your body and reveal to your doctor what is wrong on the inside.”

“Oh wow,” Fluttershy listened in awe.

“Oh my…” Rarity gasped caught up in the pitch.

“Oh Geeze.” Twilight Rolled her eyes.

“So, step on up, take home a bottle of Yuckquil today! Be Warned though, side effects include:

Shot nerves

severe burning sensation

Aaaand-” Pause for effect, “-Awkward Revelations!”

Twilight’s composer fell away as the three of them got lost in a fit of laughs and giggles.

“Oh I’ll take a bottle right now!”

“Rarity-”

“Shut up and take my bits!!” she waved a hoof at me trying to control her laughter. Fluttershy was the only one that didn’t really say anything while lost in a fit of giggling.

“Wow, on that note I think we should be taking our leave, Right Jeff?”

“Oh but of course my Sweet carrier of yuckquil.”

“Detectaphlin!” she was breaking in a smile but tried to keep some sort of serious composer.

“Bravo Mr. Revere, You have me sold!” Rarity continued. We all collected ourselves finally and we headed for the door.

“Maybe you should be an advertiser for my store one of these days.” Rarity stood beside me, the biggest smile one could muster no doubt. Fluttershy had already stepped out, while Twilight stood in the threshold, looking back at us.

“Maybe one of these days. but for now, Take this as free sample.” I handed her the empty bottle to which she took into her magic.

“Oh my, you are too kind good sir, maybe I was wrong about you from earlier.”

“Aaaand we’re leaving, JEFF!” I felt a yank on my shirt as I walked after Twilight.

“Jeff, Almost forgot!” Rarity appeared in the doorway and tossed me the coat she fixed. As I caught it,

“Thank you Rarity, the repair work looks amazing.”

“Thank you Jeff.” she called in reply

“And may you have a pleasant afternoon!” I heard a muffled reply before the door closed. All the while I still felt the firm grip of Twilight’s Telekinesis on my shirt collar.

“I think things turned out better, don’t you think?” I asked Fluttershy as the three of us exited the boutique.
“I think so, I’m glad you aren’t upset anymore.”
“Me too.”
“Uh-huh.” Twilight had let go of my shirt long enough for me to slip my coat on.

“What's the matter Twilight?” Fluttershy asked her concerned, “I think that was a good change of settings before leaving.”
“Right, at least we are not wallowing on the pain of my ordeal.”
“I guess you both are right…” Twilight sighed accepting defeat of some mental battle she was fighting, “I’m just surprised that you out of all of us had switched things around Jeff.”
“It’s what I do” I shrugged, “Back home, we try to keep things light and bright with all the chaos going on around us.”
“I can only imagine.” Fluttershy agreed, “Well, I think I better get back to town and finish what I was doing.”

“Okay, if I need anything, Spike will send you a message.”
“Got it, um, Jeff.”
“hm?” I looked at the winged pony, pegasus I think she and rainbow dash are called.
“Good luck and hope you get better and the curse gets removed, just remember to take your Yuckquil!” she giggled.
“Of course, I’ll brave the painfulness of the stuff!” she giggled again before unfolding her wings and taking off in flight back towards ponyville.

As I waved at her as she vanished over the treetops, I turned to look at a Twilight who had a casual, but scornful look on her face.
“What?”

“You know what.” I started walking back towards town, didn’t expect to be there for so long as I could see the sun was starting to set over the mountains.

“I don’t know, what?”

“You eavesdropped on us didn’t you?”

“Nothing gets by you does it miss detective?”

“Nnnope.”

At least the Golden Oak isn’t that far from here compared to coming back from the everfree forest. I could only wonder how Spike managed the Library while we were away all day.

“Come on, I’m just as stumped as you are on how Rarity of all ponies could be seeing me like that.”

“Now you are just admitting guilty to listening in on us, that’s why Fluttershy was nearly knocked out by the doors.” I jabbed accusingly at him.

“That was not my fault! Fluttershy followed me and the poor thing was only oblivious to the whole thing.”

“True, she is still mostly innocent like that.”

“Seriously?”

“yeah, i’m sure she has no clue on what was really going on with the skit you put on for us.”

“I have no idea what you are talking about!” He smiled mischievously.

“Uh-huh, sure, you're as innocent as Rainbow Dash.”

“Oh that’s cold Twilight, besides I don’t really see her like that-”

“good, wait-” I stopped in my tracks, “-what? what do you mean by that? you two seemed to of hit it off with ease.”

He stopped and took a look at me with a sincere look in his eye. “Sure, but, I lack the ability to see any of you like that.”

I was confused by his statement on that, “uhh, explain?”

“kinda hard too honestly, I think it’s just from all the trauma I’ve been through as of late.”

“Hmmm, yeah, I think anypony that has gone through as much as you have wouldn’t have certain ‘interests’ on the forefront of their minds.”

“Yeah, yeah, sounds about right.” he continued walking, “So are we dropping me back off at my place or is it okay for me to come over for a bit?” He asked quickly changing the subject.

“Don’t see a problem in that, besides, we are going to have to portion out the detectaphlin for you.”

“You mean Yuckquil?”

“Detectaphlin!” I retorted quickly.

“Yuckquil.” he cracked a smile.

“Detectaphlin!” I pointed at him.

“Yuckquil!” he pointed back at me.

“Agree to disagree!” I paused to throw my hooves up to the air before I huffed ahead of him as he laughed after me.

“Very irked by that aren’t you?” he observed as he caught up to me. I couldn’t help but accept that, yeah, Yuckquil sounded easier to remember, but I’m still sticking with Detectaphlin for I hate being unprofessional in front of others!

“Not at all,” I blew a loose strand of hair out of my face, “don’t think it’ll be acceptable to a lot of ponies when they hear it.”
“Kinda like they won’t take it at all if they hear it being called detectaphlin, I mean yuckquil!” Blast it human, you got me all confused now!!
“HA! Admit it, Yuckquil sounds hilariously awesome!”
“N-no, it-it isn’t even a scientific name!”
“Whatever, believe what you want to believe.” he rolled his eyes.

Things seemed to of settled down after that, the natural ambiance of the park and later on the small town, settling down for the evening, took over while we walked it back towards home.

The remaining ponies, heading home after a day’s work. either ignored us, watched us or seemed to of purposely steered clear of coming close to us. A number of things could explain why everypony was acting like such around us.

Jeff, Jeff, Jeff or Jeff. wait what?

“UGH!” I shook my head before facehoofing at my brain, why is it acting so?!

“Alright over there?”

“yes-no, uhm, I don’t know, just tired we had a bit of a long day.”

“oh, okay? Today was a bit of a trip for all of us anyway.” he agreed, not really wanting to banter anymore thankfully.

It was a short amount of time before the Golden Oak was in sight. Yay, home at last! Looks like it just closed too for the day.

“Spike, we’re back!” I called out as we entered the Golden Oak. Within a split second, that wonderful little dragon came running down stairs.

“Hey, Welcome back guys, How did it go?” he greeted us as I locked the door behind us. He looked from me to Jeff.

“Hey Jeff, How was the trip to Zecora’s?”

“Oh very much eventful.” He bleakly replied.

“Was it?!” Spike asked excitedly.

“Let's head upstairs first and then we’ll all discuss about it.”
“Oh sure! I too need to update you on how it was today here at the library.”
“Oh good, some normalcy to listen too.”
“What?”
“You’ll understand here shortly little guy.” Jeff answered for me. Thanks ba-Jeff! ugh!! what the tartarus is wrong with me?! brain explain NAOW!

When we got upstairs, I took up the chance to brew a pot of coffee for me and Twilight while the two of us started telling Spike about the whole day in detail.

After Spike told mainly Twilight that rentals and sales today were steady but nothing very special, made a side note of an upcoming overdue book unless the pony that has it returns it tomorrow; The little guy was mesmerized how things went after we had left here this morning. He finally heard my story of how the newly made yuckquil affected me and how I nearly collapsed. Of course I didn’t get a chance to thank Twilight for making sure I didn’t catch the floor when she caught me.

When he heard Yuckquil, he started chuckling at it’s very name. I think it’s going to be a smash hit with Spike from here on.

“Yuckquil, didn’t expect you to come up with that Twilight.”

“I didn’t, HE did,” she glared at me, or at least that’s what it looked like to me. I just think she is just burned out by the debacle back at Rarity’s place. Since I kinda know about Spike’s feelings towards Rarity, I think I’ll leave the details of their private conversation out of this version of the story.

“So, didn’t you say you’ll need to put the batches of Yuckquil into smaller jars or something?” Spike reiterated what Twilight mentioned before our coffee talk started.

“Yes, and it’s actually called Detectaph-oh buck it…” she face tabled into her arms before a groan came out from the mass of purple streaked, magenta hair and folded forelegs.

“YES! I win, yuckquil stays.” I chuckled.

A grumbling mumble came from the unicorn.

“Is she okay?” Spike asked looking worriedly at her.

“yeah, she’ll be fine.” I paused, Thinking about it, she wasn’t doing so well after our talk outside the boutique.

“She is just exhausted from everything today, pretty sure you should get to bed early tonight.”

“iuff muff fuff.”

“What?” Twilight lifted her head from her arms.

“I’ll be fine, still got to organize a few things before bed anyway.” she then rested her chin on her foreleg/arms.

“That’s right, still got to to stay on top of the nightly routines little lady.” Spike cracked a smile at his friend, probably for once, it’ll be him telling her what to do.

“Meh…”

“Oh, did you guys eat at all today?” Spike looked at the both of us.

“Not really hungry.” she grumbled

“Same, the yuckquil kinda ruined my stomach for the day. I think we should agree that it’ll be only when I really need it.”

“Is it really that powerful?”

“yep.”

“Yeah, I think when we need to check the status of my curse, I’ll take a shot of it.” I could hear spike chuckle from the very mentioning of Yuckquil.

I couldn’t help but watch Twilight, she must've been really brain fried from everything today, I think I better tone it down for her sake. I just hope that I didn’t stress her out from my shenanigans today. I began to worry again, well, let’s just take that and redirect it.

“Uhm, Instead of eating, is there anything I can do to help around here before I start heading back?”

“oh not really, I pretty much have most of it done to pass the time while I waited for Twilight to get back.”

“Good on you then kid, staying busy is a good thing.”

“oh yeah, swept the floor, organized the log books with new book loans, as well handled the few customers we got today.”

“Sounds like you had your hands full.” I sipped at my coffee while glancing at Twilight, seeing her not really responding to Spike’s impressive ability to run a slow moving business. Then again, if this little dragon was like the ones i’ve read about, he is really smarter than he makes himself appear.

“Oh it was nothin’!” he waved it off, “strangely, I even started reorganizing the books and-”

“Alphabetically?” Twilight finally chimed in, lifting her head to look at spike. can’t believe that brought her back to life, books? Did remember hearing her constantly referring to of read about something over the few times I was around her.

Then again, today was the longest I have spent with Twilight or anyone period.

“To the best of my knowledge,” Spike smiled big as if knowing that he had maybe impressed his friend/roommate.

Twilight squinted at the dragon, “We’ll have to see about that!” she smiled weakly before looking at me.

“Jeff, you are right about one thing, it has been a long day, maybe enough excitement for one day.” she admitted taking a drink from her E.M.O.G. that was filled with only the equivalence of two whole cups of coffee compared to how it was filled this morning. The amount of coffee that went into that thing shocks me still, even more so towards the little pony that drinks the whole thing like a champ and without the crash later the same day.

“Indeed Twilight, unless you sure you two don’t have anything ya need help with, then I’ll be heading back to my-” I paused, slightly hanging my head in shame, “-shack…”

“Oh i’m sure we got everything.” Twilight smiled softly, “You know the way back?”

“I believe I do, it wasn’t that hard to know which way leads back to that dive of a house.”

“Well then, in that case-” Twilight paused to quickly look at Spike who only looked back at her confused slightly, “-Spike will walk you out, I’m probably going to head back upstairs.”

“Uh, Twilight, we are upstairs already.” spike pointed out confusingly

“Oh, yeah, yeah, thats right….riiight.” she ran a hoof through her main and stopped on the back of her neck. A typical sign of a nervous girl.

“Very well then,” Since it had cooled enough, I knocked back my cup before walking it over to the sink, “let’s get going,” setting the cup in the sink, I headed out of the kitchen, spike was the first to leave as I held the door open for him.

I took one last look at the unicorn who only sat and watched me leave, “Well, I hope you have a good night.” I smiled at her whom returned the gesture.

“Good night.”

As I left with the kitchen doors closing behind me, I could only think of how there was much more that could've been said, but I don’t think anyone is in the right state of mind to talk about anything else.

Once down stairs, Spike unlocked, open, and held the door open. “There ya go.”

“Thanks,” as I took one step out the door I glanced back at the empty library behind me. Aside it from behind dark I could only think of how I still feel like there was something I didn’t explain yet, or something along those lines.

oh well, it’s only been one whole day without any serious problems going on, aside from the wolves of course. With a sigh I look at Spike, “If you guys need my help with anything, Come find me.”

“More like, If you need it, you know where to find us.” Spike corrected with an assuring nod.

“Right, well, either way works, good night Jeff.”

“Yep.” and I stepped out, the front door closed and I could hear both dead bolts lock into place.

I didn’t realize how late it got, it tends to get dark here quick doesn’t it?

Looking around briefly, I ran over my memories of which way to get back was. Let's see, we came in from the right of this place once, so, lets….head that way!

Into the night back towards the house I go!

“I’m tellin’ ya, ain’t no way we can even find the beast in this town less ya simply run inta him!” I scolded Jagged, “Besides, how we even know he or it be walkin’ after how the forest turned him inta Tenderized ham?”

“I just know Windy,” The uniquely clad Unicorn replied flatly as the four of us made a turn towards one of the hoof bridges towards the market center; “Why would that little pipsqueak dragon be in such a hurry and why else would the Mane six be so focused on this creature of the Everfree?” He looked back at me, those blue eyes where as cold as they were icy in color.

I only could judge that he wanted to make sure the job was done and this monster was firmly dealt with. Yet it to be confusing to me as well, If the mane six have been focused on this thing for these past few weeks, how come there hadn’t been any news of a battle taking place?

“The colt has a point,” Quartz blurted out, “How we even know the boss’s magic even worked?”

“SUSH!” Jagged raised a hoof to us both, there was a loud crash close by. I stepped up beside Jagged, I noticed the glow of his magic around that strange leather case he wears across his chest like a sword scabbard. Too small to be one though, let alone be one to hold any kind of blade.

“Hear that?”

“Hear what?”

We hear a sudden crash of something that followed a shriek of a cat.

“Mother fuckin’ shit!” We all hear coming from a nearby building, “Who in the hell throws sofas out like this?!”

“Let’s go check that out.” Jagged lowered his hoof the magic faded from around the strange scabbard, he took the lead we followed after.

“Could that be the one?” I asked quietly.

“Wouldn’t know but I got a hunch, split up two of you come from the other side.”

“Got it,” Quartz Stone and his Twin sister Agate Stone took off around the left side of the building while me,

We turned the corner and neared the building I recognized as the Sofa and quill shop. What kind of creature be drawn here?

When we came around the back of the building, Jagged Illuminated his horn as we both stopped at the back of the building.

“Hold it right there!” He snapped.

“Oh shit!” Jumped the figure that sprang up from the trash heap it found itself in. The figure looked at us, shielding its eyes with a hand.

“You got’em?” Quartz and Agate appeared behind him, Agate’s horn glowing with light.

“Yeah,” The creature stood on two legs, it then looked from us to the other two before looking back and slowly raised his arms up.

“Whoa, whoa, Easy guys, I’m not breaking into this place or nothin’”

“You sure?” Quartz Glared at the creature

“Of course I’m sure, I just got lost in the dark, kinda sucks being without a flashlight or something right?”

None of us replied.

“Riiight, Look I’m just trying to get back to my shack and I guess I got turned around in the dark then-”

“Can it human!” Jagged snapped, “What are you doing here? Why haven’t the Six dealt with you already?”

The creature, or human as he called it, recoiled by his hostility, keeping his hands up, “Hey, I don’t know what you are talking about man, I’ve just walked from the, what is that place.” he gestured towards another part of town behind us.

“The Golden ore-”

“The Golden Oak Library?” I correctly ask

“Yeah, that’s it, the Golden Oak Library.”

“I see, is the owner there still alive?” Jagged asked abruptly, his dark teal magic appearing around that leather case again.

“Still aliv-” he scoffed, “-You gotta be kidding, She has been helping me all damn day, trying to help me figure some stuff out is all.”

“that’s a whole lot of bullshit and you know it Human!”

“Jaggaged! Back up, can’ ya see tha poor lad didn’t do anythin’?!”

The Unicorn let his magic vanish from the case, not sure why, but I think it was a good thing he didn’t open it. He chuffed before disappearing around the front of the building.

“Sorry for that deary, Jagged Hadn’t been himself lately.”

“Can tell,” the Human noted, “Wonder what get his horn in a twist…”

“Can’ really say, but thankfully he left before things got a bit tipsy.”

“Yeah, sooo, you guys are not going to arrest me or anything?” He looked from me to the twins before looking back at me with that wondering look on his face.

“Oh, put’em down lad, ain’t no one’s gonna lock ya up, we be simply wonderin’ by when we heard the ruckus ye be maken.” I approached him. he folded his arms looking at me, Quartz’s horn dimmed to a gentle light for us to see each other better.

“What’s ye name lad?”

“Jefferson.”

“Pleasant to’ve run into ya, Whindy Wheels tha name, these two are Quartz and Agate.” I gestured to the twins.

“hey, good to see you.” Jeff turned to the two

“Charmed.” Quartz deadpanned, the human looked back at me.

“And that cranky pony was, Jagged?”

“yeah, somethin’ has him knotted more than a ball of yarn, we’ve been in town most of the day lookin’ far somethin’.”

“More like all day, looking for y-” Quartz’s magic wrapped around Agate’s mouth quickly.

“Shhh!”

“I see, anyways, I should be heading back to my place,” Jeff dusted himself a little bit more.

“I believe it shouldn’t be far from here.”

“Ahh of course friend, We be headen’ back ourselves ain’t we twinnys?”

“Yep.”

“Sssure.”

Jeff took another glance at them, probably wondering why they are being so stiff with him too. With a shrug he looked back at me one last time, “very well then, I’m glad to of ran into you guys, I’m sure we’ll run into each other again, just wish I can quit meeting others without breaking my self or into things.”

I couldn’t help the chuckle that came out, “As was our pleasure to of met. Ye be havn’ a pleasant even to ya, ser.” He gave us a wave before leaving into the dark on my right.

I faintly picked up a quiet, “What was that all about?” from the human before the dark of the night made him disappear from view.

After a minute of silence, The twins started shuttering and cringing.
“That was the human?!”

“Good goddess, You picked up that scent?” Quartz looked at his Sister huffing through his nose as if trying to shake a horrible oder.

“I didn’t, ye both be smellin’ the garbage here I’d bet.” I pointed to the overturned mess that the Human crashed into in the dark. I would figure that the nighttime ponies had not lit the street lamps yet or are still in the process of lighting them.

“Nope, that’s not it, it was the human,” Agate argued,”surprised he didn’t jump at us or anything of the sort.”
“Probably was biding his time, trying to figure out our weakness, or whatever before he came at us to slit our throats.”
“Or better yet, to take us out while we’re sleeping.”
“Oh thanks brother, never mind sleeping tonight!” while hearing the teasing each other, I could only think how wrong they were because I saw something different when talking to that human.

“Who needs sleep? Sleep is easy mode.”
“You guys don’t get it do you?” Jagged came back from the front of the building, he obviously was listening in on the whole thing.

“That human is apart of one of the most destructive species to date!”
“Wha-how Jagged? I doubt anypony would be afraid of him, he seems he far more harmless than a harmless wee fly.”
“Oh trust me Whindy.” He place a gently hoof on a shoulder, “There will come a day when we all will witness the true power of his kind. Let’s go, the boss will be wanting our report.” I watched the three take off, back towards out of town. I was only lost in confusion.
“His power, his kind? What ye be talkin’ about?”
“I’m talking about the destructive power of mankind, love.” He paused in walking to let me catch up to him.

When I stood beside him, he had been looking up at the moon as it rose from it’s bed beyond the mountains. Some say when you look at the moon right as it rises, one could see the faint aura of Luna’s magic as she rises it for another beautiful night.

“One day, everypony here will bear witness to the brutality of his kind and then, they will all live in fear of him.”

“I doubt it but-”

“Oh, they will,” He fell silent as we both headed back towards camp.

Thankfully, I didn’t tempt fate again with another possible shortcut to get back here. At least The street lamps here were finally lit after the Pegasus Lamplighters glided around to light the streets up as well, some of the residents of some of the near by homes slowly lit up by personal lamps or fireplaces.

The smell of those fireplaces began to fill the air, another reminder of home as some of those homes were built back in the forties, fifties and sixties so they still had the built in fireplace.

home at last, sadly, it was the only place on this quiet street without a light or in fact a front door as it had fallen out before venturing out this morning. That reminds me, I think i’m going to need to fix this place but to do so requires the one thing I lack.

Seriously doubt everypony here would give out supplies out of charity for one “scary” human. Which also reminds me, what the hell was that unicorn’s deal? I mean, he was acting like I was some criminal or something of the sort.

I came up to the shack and lifted the door back up into it’s frame. sadly, it didn’t want to stand right so I simply leaned it against the wall near the threshold. Fucking fixer uppers…

“Honey, I’m home…” I grumbled to no one as I walked into the kitchen. It faintly still stank of that febreze stuff Rarity sprayed. wait, she sprayed that stuff because of the-

“Wait…” I dashed into the kitchen and searched cupboards and cabinets which all reminded me of one thing:

“Fuck that's right, I don’t have any food now.” I shook my head as reality came kicking the door in like a SWAT team. I had to remember that I have no food, no clothes, no nothing really. It stinks that I’m practically homeless if not for this place that was given to me and the few belongings as well.

Returning to the living room, I found that lamp that was left behind here some time ago. hope it works-nope, the bugs inside were dead after trying to turn it on.

I felt with my hands as I walked down the hall in the dark to find my room. I did after finding a wall with a thud and a twerk of a wrist, “ow!”

With the glow from a neighboring house, I was able to find the flashlight that, with a click, still worked!
“At least it isn’t completely hopeless.” I’m practically mumbling to myself at this point.
Shining the way around I walked into the bathroom once more. I didn't’ know if this thing runs on batteries or something else So bath time, once again, will have to be put up till I can get some better lighting up in this place.

I heard a thunk from outside as I was about to go into my room for the night. Of course, like any potential horror movie victim, I crept down the hall.
“Hello? Who’s there?” God, I feel like an until dawn character at this point.
First spot, which was the front door, I checked and to my surprise there was something that wasn’t there before.

A box.

Riiight, nothing like a mysterious box being dropped off at my lightless house for me to find, with only the help of a flashlight, in the middle of the pitch blackness of the night.

Ominus!!

Shrugging the paranoia away, I walked up to the box and peeked outside with the light shining down both ways of the street. No one was walking either way.

Looking down at the box, I tucked the flashlight in a pocket to collect the box. Some glass rattled inside.

“Thanks whoever sent me this…” I sat down near the table placing the box in front of me. I opened the box to see what is inside. under the light, inside this box: sat four large jars, each filled almost to the brim of this greenish colored-

“What? no shit, did she forget to grab these?” lifting one up I could only think that the pony responsible for dropping this off just now was Zecora.

Bit of a sneak ain’t she?

“Thanks Zecora…” Putting the jar back in and putting the flashlight in the middle of the jars, I picked up the box and walked back into the bathroom. Mostly because, hey personal meds are stored there, right?

Setting the box on the counter near the sink, I left the flashlight on as It dimly light the entire room, which wasn’t impressive as it was large enough to house the pony sized bath tub, toilet, sink, the countertop around it. as well maybe enough space for a washer and dryer.

Lifting a jar out, I looked at it. The liquid sloshed inside, shaking my head I looked at mirror.

“If you act now folks, You can order your personal four months supply of yuckquill all at the cost of shipping!” I held the jar like as if the mirror was a camera.

“So, order today! Yuckquill, the most fucking painful thing any man can experience in their lives!” Gave my reflection a happy smile before looking back at the jar.

“heh, Don’t got food but I at least got this shit to drink.” I set the jar back in the box before grabbing the flashlight and heading back to my room.

At least I still got my bed too.
