Ashes In The Wind
Chapter 34: Friendly conversation
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAshleys POV
"No." Symbol said simply before moving to walk out the door.
"What, why?!" I grabbed his arm to try to stop him, but with his strength he just kinda pulled me along with him.
"I don't need a suit for the wedding Ashley, I'll just wear my usual clothes." He argued as he kept walking with me literally in tow.
"I have to wear a dress, you have to wear a suit!" I scolded as I patted his cheek a few times.
"You don't have to wear that dress, you can just go in your normal clothes."
"You mean in my shorts and bra?" I asked with a raised brow.
He stopped, blushed slightly for a moment before continuing. "Good point. But that doesn't mean I need to change, my clothes are fine."
"Abi! Help me out here!" I called into the cabin as Symbol had dragged us out of our home and into the front garden.
The symbiote pony poked her head out through the doorway with a bored look. "Epidemic will probably try to beat the crap out of you if you don't make an effort Symbol which will blow your cover and end up with you having something broken."
"Oh let that asshole try to fight me, I've learned from that last encounter so I know what to expect and how to defend against Psychotic. As for my cover...you're probably right. But I'm still not wearing a suit!"
"Well, I tried." Abi said disinterested while walking away from the door.
"Oh come on, just let Rarity make you a suit, please." I pleaded as he came to a stop.
"There's no way you're getting me to wear...a...suit..." He trailed off as he looked at me.
I was looking up at him with pleading eyes while hugging his arm close to my chest. "Pwease?" I asked in an innocent voice.
He tried to look away, but he couldn't. He just kept staring into me with those...amethyst eyes...until he finally cracked. "Ok ok! I'll wear a suit just stop trying to give me a heart attack!" He yelled while clutching his chest and a small blush appearing on his face.
"Thank you!" I exclaimed in relief as I hugged him. I may have took a bit too long with the hug because I could feel Symbol getting tense with me hugging him fir an unnaturally long amount of time, so I let get and brushed myself off as he scratched his head in confusion. "S-Sorry."
"No no, it's alright. Just...not used to being hugged is all." He reassured while giving a weak chuckle, but looked to the ground in sadness before perking up again. "Well, since you'd kill me with adorableness if I didn't, I'll go get my suit ready for the wedding."
A warm blush formed on my face after that comment. "When is the wedding anyway? It's been awhile now."
"Oh, yeah, time moves a lot faster in this region of our multiverse than it does on Auldins world. I checked and there's a lot of crazy shit going on there at the moment, figured we'd let them sort everything out before heading back there."
"Oh. What about Sean and Ashley, how're they doing?" I asked, having not seen my fellow One Piece displaced in awhile.
"They're doing alright, some One Piece characters have shown up there and a few displaced as well, looks like a lot of love drama is starting up as well, apperantly Sean and Ashley are open to the idea of a harem." Symbol just smiled and shook his head. "I remember when I tried to do that, ended up dying. Although I don't think any multiverse destroying assholes will be popping in on them anytime soon."
"Should we invite them to the wedding?"
"Maybe, I'll check later." He pressed the gem on his bracelet and spoke into it before smiling. "There, I've set a reminder to ask them so I won't forget."
Suddenly, a portal opened up a few feet away from us, and Master Chief jumped out of it with what looked like a pony version of the female version of Discord, Eris. "Hello you two, I hope we're not too late for the wedding." Chief spoke in his almighty voice that almost made me fangirl beyond belief. I noticed that he was wearing a tux over his armour, somehow fitting him perfectly and looking natural at the same time.
"Actually the wedding isn't for another while yet Marcus, but you're welcome to stay here until them, maybe get a break from your world for a change." Symbol offered his other displaced and his companion.
"I told you we should have waited!" The Eris pony complained as she tapped the side of Chiefs leg. "We could have gotten things dims but you wanted to get here as soon as possible!"
"I'd prefer to be early to this Eris, we have yet to meet the rest of our displaced family outside of Symbols other displaced." Chief said calmly as he took the suit off of his armour. Eris rolled her eyes and walked off into the cabin.
As I was about to say something I felt someone tap my shoulder. Looking back I saw Rainbow Dash and Symph standing there. "Oh, hey guys, what's up?"
"You need to come with us Ashley. We've found a few more possessed foals and we need a kind soul like yours to help them." Symph stated simply.
"Yeah, after you dealt with the last one we tight you'd be able to help us now, since it looks like Symbol is busy talking to that robot guy." Rainbow continued. I looked back to Symbol and Marcus who both nodded and went back to their conversation.
"Alright, Leda the way." Rainbow Dash nodded and shot off into the forest with Symph and I following close behind her. Although. I wasn't exactly sure of how much I could actually help since it was Symph who really dealt with the last one. I definitely had my work cut out for me.
