A Few Good Mares: The legend continues.
Chapter 11: Revelations. Aw who am I kidding? It's a new start!
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"Hahahahaha...." laughed a voice taking a seat in a chair in the middle of the dark room. The room was foggy and mysterious. "So you want to hear more of my story huh?" said Dustin looking at the camera. "I know I know... you want to know where I am? See that door behind me?" he said pointing to the large black and gold door behind him. "That's where Elizabeth went." He stopped for a second and pulled out a cigarette.
"My last smoke... I guess I can go ahead and tell a little of my backstory. Wait... you probably already know about most of it. Hmm... I keep thinking of Allie. Oh... you don't know who she is? I'll tell you..."
Flashback... Dustin's childhood... age 5
"Have a good first day!" said my Grandma June who helped me out of the truck and left me at the kindergarten classroom. I was scared because I had never done this before. Most kids entered when they were 6 or 7 so I was a little young.
"So you must be Dustin. The new student. Welcome. I'm your teacher Ms. McCloud."
"Hi." That's all I'm going to say to her. I don't talk to people I don't trust. She held my hand and walked me into the class. There were I think 14 kids in total in the room. Most of them were in my shoes and they didn't know what to do. Then the teacher put me in a small desk and gave me a coloring book.
A few hours went by... I did the usual routine. Have fun. Eat. Nap time. Play. Learn. Go home. I did it for about a week until I finally talked to another student. I was sitting on the brick steps outside eating one of my sandwiches when a cute little girl walked up to me. Very pale. She had dark hair tied in a small ponytail with brown eyes.
"How's it going?" she asked me.
"Oh not too bad." Yeah even when I was a kid I was being romantic with the ladies. "I'm Mu-... I mean Dustin."
"I'm Allie." she took a seat beside me. I had never talked to another kid before. Usually the others looked at me like I was a freak. Probably because I didn't live with my parents or something. That or the long hair I was sporting. I wasn't a fan of hair-cuts back then. I'm still not to this day unless I do it myself. You'd be surprised. When I was a kid I had long hair. Down to my shoulders. Wish I never cut it. "You don't talk much do you?"
"No. I have no one to talk to."
"Aw... that's sad."
"Hey don't tease me."
"Well Dustin. I don't have any friends either and this is my first day." Now that I think about it I never saw her before.
"I've been here for a week."
End of FB...
"That was the start of my first love life. Eventually she made friends with Kay as I made friends with Kelly and Brandon. Lucas and Nathan didn't come in until I was older. We kinda... stuck together. I think that's why I dated Kay. Because she reminded me of Allie so much."
*BANG BANG RRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR*
"And theirs Lucy getting her ass handed to her. *sigh* Then Liz is gonna walk in and murder me." Dustin said while repositioning himself in the chair. "This is a comfy chair... if I don't die then I'm taking this with me. Don't get me wrong though. Twilight was the best thing to ever happen to me. I just wish I could see her one more time..."
"Dustin... where are you?" echoed the voice.
"That reminds me of another time. When I was around... 8. Allie and I's relationship really blossomed. We were always together in school and sometimes after. This one time on a summer day that was hotter than balls, we were sitting on some steps eating some ice cream. Then this punk kid walks up the street. You know the kind: Asshole all the way. Allie looked at him once and then dumped her cone in his lap! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
"DUSTIN!"
"Then he pushed her. That pissed me off. So I curbed the fucker. I thought that when he was eating food through a tube that he would learn how to talk to a girl. Allie didn't talk to me for a week. She... she was killed sometime when I was in a coma. I don't know how. So I stuck with Kay. You connect the dots. I don't even know how she died."
"We will find you... we will consume you..."
"There goes Liz again. She's been possessed. Can you guess what angel came back from the dead? *Whistle* So what other moments of my life do I want to tell you? Hmm..." Then Niko walked up to Dustin and whispered in his ear. "What? What do you mean wrap it up? Only a quarter of battery left?" he walked behind the camera and picked it up. "Yeah he's right. I'm sure everyone knows my story. I guess I should explain what happened in the past 8 weeks."
Another FB...
You see... in the first I'd say 3 weeks we all lived in the castle. Free of fear and death. Until we had an epidemic. The people inside felt they were being imprisoned and we were running low on supplies. So they sent me, Niko, and a few other guards out to scavenge. While we were gone, there was a traitor on the inside. I'm still not completely sure about what happened but when we got back the castle was overrun.
"How could you!" yelled Luna pushing me into the wall. Everyone inside went crazy. There were zombies, fire, explosions, you name it. Everyone was dying. Including the princesses. Celestia... David... Twilight... everyone... gone. Luna was scared and heavily wounded.
"No Luna I didn't do this!"
"You have betrayed us for the last time Shafer!" said the guards behind me. They all drew their swords and circled around me. Niko stood against my back as we both drew two swords.
"Like old times huh?" he asked.
"The fun never ends. RAAAAHHH!" we both charged off into the crowd.
10 minutes later...
"I'm sorry." said Niko killing the last guard. I walked over to the corpses of my closest friends and fell to my knees.
"It's over Niko. It's all gone."
"Where's Octavia?" he asked. I looked around and didn't see her. He ran into the greeting room where the princesses look down at the other ponies for a speech. I ran in after him and saw him looking over the rail with tears in his eyes. Below was the zombified corpse of Octavia and Heavenly Strings. Their daughter.
"Shit Niko don't look!" I grabbed him by his back and tried to pull him into the room again.
"NOOOOOOOOOOO! Let go of me!" he yelled kicking me in the leg causing me to drop him.
"Fuck!" I ran after him. He was going to attract every zombie in the area.
End of FB...
"So we escaped. We thought that every one inside died. Niko and I both recovered but slowly and painfully. When your like me and you've lost your loved one 4 times... you give up on life. You don't care about consequences. You only want to fix it."
"DUSTIN! WHERE ARE YOU!"
"SHUT UP YOU FUCKING BITCH! Sorry... anyways..."
Another FB... but only a week ago...
We were walking through Appleloosa. We managed to escape the Everfree forest... me and Niko. Just the two of us left. We heard a rumor that Appleloosa was unharmed during the infection. However... those rumors turned out to be fake.
"Is she still after us?" asked Niko. We were on the run of Lucy again.
"I think so. Let's find a safe place to rest." We hid in a store for a bit. There we ate and rested up.
"Any more zombies outside?"
"Don't say that." I told him.
"What?"
"The dead word. I don't wanna hear it."
"Well they are."
"True enough... No I don't see any..." I said looking to the left of the window. "Oh no there they are." I looked right too see the biggest army of undead in my life. "Uh... Niko we have a problem."
"Is that Elizabeth?" he asked. I turned around and looked out the window he was talking about and their I saw her walking with Lucy.
"Yeah. I'm pretty sure she wants us dead."
"How do you know?" I held the death threat we got earlier up. "Oh. That was her?" I turned it around showing her name. "Huh."
"Can you honestly not read Niko?"
"I can. I just choose not too."
"Pfft... hahaha.... HAHAHAHAHA!"
"Quiet down."
"I'm sorry... hahaha... that's just the best excuse I've ever heard."
"Really?"
"No."
"Hahahaha...."
"Hahaha..."
"You can come out now." said Elizabeth at the door.
"We know." we both said at the same time. We turned around and jumped behind the counter as she opened fire on us with a LMG.
"Where did she get a machine gun?"
"No more questions!" I said drawing my revolver and aiming around the counter. I shot once and skinned the side of her shoulder.
"Fucker!" she yelled. "Just let me kill you! If I do then the world get's fixed!"
"Who told you that?" I asked.
"I did." said Lucy.
"Liz don't make a deal with the devil."
"I'm doing this on my free time!"
"So should we run?" asked NIko.
"Ya think?"
"Yeah." He stood up and kicked down the door in the back. We both ran out and drew our swords to defend ourselves. We eventually ran to the train station and commandeered a train there. Huh... I think that was the biggest word I've ever said in my life. Commandeered... I'm gonna write that down.
"What are you doing?" yelled Niko
"I'm writing this down." I said putting the word in my journal. I put it beside the page of people to get revenge on. I only had two names on it now. One was Lucy. The other was still Rainbow Dash for a prank 3 years ago... and she's gone now.
End of Flashback...
"You see... Elizabeth got this power from Kay somehow. They learned the secrets of time from Lucy. They can reverse time by killing the major link in it, which is me. By doing that... they can combine both the worlds. Earth and Equestria. Creating a new one. But that's only possible if you have right equipment... *sigh* and she does."
"So we came here to put our last thoughts on camera. In case someone finds this." said Niko walking beside Dustin. "I miss my wife. My child. My friends. My life. Yet I get to spend my last days with my best bud." he said putting an arm around Dustin's neck.
"If I could undo all the wrongs I've caused..." said Dustin quietly. "Aw... fuck it. There's no point. Correcting mistakes in a world full of hate doesn't change anything. That's my lesson to everyone out their. Think about what you do before you fuck it up."
"I found you!" yelled Elizabeth smashing down the door. She was literally a glowing angel being held in the air. "Time to fix this." she pulled out a large hand cannon and shot both Dustin and Niko multiple times causing them to fall to the ground in pain. Niko didn't make it. He drowned in his pool of blood. Dustin was still living. "After all of this. The hospital. The apocalypse. Zombies. Your old friends... you still hold on to that pathetic excuse of life you have left."
"Glad to hear your voice Kay." said Dustin putting himself on his back and looking at the mare. "I know Elizabeth wouldn't do this."
"Would I?" said another voice levitating the wounded unicorn in the air.
Dustin's POV
"Go ahead... *cough* Do it. Finish what you've started."
"That's my job!" yelled Brandon flying through a window. Forgot I didn't kill him yet. He tackled the mare and they both fought outside. I fell down into my blood pool again and crawled over to Niko.
"Sorry... buddy... Tell Octi and the kids that I said hi won't ya?" I asked closing his eyes. I swear he had a smile on his face. That damn smile he gives. It's heartwarming... even at a time like this. I stood up and looked at my body. The burns from the fire trail she was leaving almost completely covered my body.. meaning if I survived the gunshots... the burns will kill me for sure. I walked outside... one step at a time knowing damn well what would happen in a few minutes. "Sorry Twilight... Kay... Allie...Vinyl... and everyone else who I royally fucked. My time is at an end."
"Where do you think your going?" asked Liz behind me. She threw the decapitated body of Brandon past me. I stopped walking and turned around. "So your finally giving up?"
"That's the plan."
"I want you to know something Dustin. This apocalypse is actually your fault. You didn't want to pick up your old life so you had this happen. This is your world. Everyone here is suffering because of you. What do you have to say for yourself?"
"I know that. I mean honestly do you think I would go back as Static Wielder? Fucking moron..."
"B-but.... what?"
"HAHAHAHAHA! I've known all along! I'm the protector of time itself kid."
"Then you can fix this?"
"*cough* No. Besides your about to kill me."
"I am! To restore all that is lost... I will destroy you."
"Because this is all a dream." She glowed blue again as Kay took control. She stood their and held her hoof towards me. "What are you waiting for? Do it..."
"Dustin..." said Kay.
"DO IT!!!" she shot me with her magic blast destroying me.
In the real world...
"GAH!" I awoke and saw that I was on the school bus. I held my HUMAN hands to my face. Human. Yeah. That was some fucked up dream.
"You okay dude?" asked Twilight beside me.
"I just had a day-mare." I told them.
"What's that?" asked Rainbow in the seat beside me.
"It's like a nightmare... but when your daydreaming."
"What was it about?" asked Twilight who was still hugging me.
"You know... I can't remember. Huh."
"So how does it feel to be a junior?" asked Niko in the seat in front of me. David was sitting with him.
"You tell me. I'm sure that we're all juniors."
"Not Trixie." said Rarity in the seat ahead of Rainbow who was sitting with Fluttershy. "She's a senior if I remember correctly."
"Huh. I wonder what she tricks people for."
"Are you telling me that your after other women?" asked Twilight looking up at me with her big purple eyes.
"Don't say it like that." We were on our bus to the magic school. We would live in the dorms they give us and go home over the summer. It's been like that for 11 years now. Their are many kinds of magic. Primal, Illusion (My talents go here.), and even Flight magic or magic that affects the body. Twilight's the smartest kid here... and she's in love with me. "Hey Niko. I heard that we are getting some transfer kids today."
"Freshman?"
"Doubt it. I imagine they are the kind to pick a fight though."
"Don't worry. We'll teach 'em!"
"We'll see about that. I mean they haven't really messed with us yet." said Rainbow.
"Ya know Niko... I think Dash is right for once."
"Hey."
"Oh don't ya go and worry now sugar-cube." said AJ beside her. "They're just teasin' Am I right boys?"
"Yes ma'am." we both said and looked away. Last year she tied us up and hung us upside down outside the school because Niko insulted her gardening magic and I was just their. So what did we learn? If a person knows how to grow than they get exercise. If they do get exercise they know how to fight so... don't mess with them OR they will turn your world upside down. That's not funny since she actually did. I stood up and grabbed my bags from the storage area above us. Inside I had my pet. They said we can keep pets as long as they don't pay for any extra food or damages.
"Did you bring him with you?" asked Fluttershy. She loves animals more than anything if you haven't guessed already.
"I sure did! Good morning Sir-Pounce-a-lot!" For short... we called him PAL. He was my baby tiger. "Isn't he the cutest?" I asked while he streched out his paws and yawned. The girls all did their... 'Aw...' thing-y ma gig-y. Shy took Pal away from me and hugged it. The cat got major boob. I'm not even joking... their isn't a kid in this school who doesn't look at her hooters. I mean they are so big! How?
"Dustin." whispered Niko getting my attention. "Do you see this?"
"Yeah I do. My cat's a man after all."
"No. I mean... your an illusionist right?"
"Yeah. I know a little shapeshifter magic. Why?"
"Okay. Us as cats + Shy = epic boob time."
"Hmm... that is a good thought..."
"May I put some bows on your kitty?" asked Rarity. "It will make him look dazzling!"
"That's one opinion..."
"What was that?" she asked. Twilight looked at me with a smile.
"I said of course you can!" What the fuck? My mouth is talking on it's own! Maybe it's fear... oh I can tell this will be a good year at Celestia's Border School for all Wizards. Oh yes. So very exciting.
"Will all students remember to donate to the clubs? Thank you." said the announcer.
"Let's go to our room." said Twilight. There was like 50 buses. I think. So like I said we all get to live in a dorm room. A coed dorm. So you can have a partner with you. (Thank you Celestia.) Of course if your friend's room is destroyed due to 'Unnatural explanations" Then you can have more guest with you. But you have to tell the office. No one enjoys a threesome or something like that they said.
"Room 42." I said opening our room. We've shared this room for 4 years now. Oh the Royal Purple carpet and walls is always a refreshing sight. It makes me feel better at least. You could choose your room colors... like Envy Green, Hot Red, Pretty Pink, fuck... anything really. And unless your Rainbow Dash, you might want to choose ONE color. I swear that every time I go there, it's a fucking acid trip. I know my drugs. Twilight did some... 'test' on me.
"I love this room so much!" said Twilight hopping on the bed. She really did. We both agreed that we would buy this room and take it with us when we graduated. I bet your thinking 'Can you do that?' Yes. Yes you can. It just needs one little wave of a wand and VOL-LA! Portable room.
"Hey Twi. Didn't you say that this was Spike's first year."
"Yes I did! Glad your were listening! He's suppose to take the Primal classes."
"Due to his dragon powers?"
"Yes."
"I bet the others will get a kick out of that."
"Didn't you say that some of your old friends are coming back?"
"Yeah. I got a letter from Kelly saying his mom was moving back so he's going to transfer here."
"That's good!"
"So I bet he's bringing his GF Kay with him. Nice girl."
"You know her?"
"I did. When we were in grade school. She moved with him and some of the others. Different school I guess. I wonder how much they changed."
"Well you haven't changed much. I bet they didn't either."
"Thanks Twi. You want to go get some breakfast at the cafeteria with me or do you want me to bring it back for us to eat in private?"
"Private please."
"Yes my lady!" I said saluting her.
"*giggle* At ease soldier..." I quickly left and walked down the hallway. I saw all of my old classmates and said hi on my way down.
"Dustin!" said Mr. Visor giving me a bro-hug. "How's my favorite rouge?"
"OH he's doing fine Mr. V."
"Please call me David."
"Sorry. Did you ask out Celestia yet?"
"No..."
"DAVID!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Do I have to do it for you?"
"No no no..."
"I will. You know I will."
"Right... look I will give it a shot. Hey can you do me a favor?"
"Sure."
"My long time friend is going to be a freshman this year. Will you look out for him?"
"Sure. What's his name?"
"Johnathan Tombs. But we call him Lightning." Alright.. .how hard can it be to find a kid that dubs himself Lightning? I mean he's probably glowing!
"Grim name... but I'll bite. Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why does he need protection?"
"He's a bit... freakishly tall."
"Ah... okay. I think I saw a kid who was taller than the rest."
"Did he have purple highlights in his hair?"
"Yup."
"That's him."
"Alright-y then. I'll take care of him."
"Thanks." I like David. He's been the best teacher I've ever had since that one chick that changed my diapers when I was in pre-pre-school. Pretty sure she passed away though. Hmm... what was her name again? Oh well... can't remember. I made my way into the cafeteria which was part of the main building. Food was free for all students and faculty luckily. I don't have much money. We have the weekends off during school so I work at the Starbucks down here in the cafe.
"Have a good one Shafer!" said Ms. Knightly giving me my food. She had the oddest job being a cook and the school nurse. But the pay is well. "Hey can I ask you something?"
"Hmm?" I asked taking my biscuit out of my mouth.
"Give this letter to my daughter. This is going to be her first day."
"Freshman?"
"Yes. Her name's Elizabeth."
"Alright. I'll find her." Here's my favorite part about the new kids. They have to wear nametags. Like no joke for about 2 months. It's hilarious! I put the letter in my right jean pocket and took my food upstairs. There Twilight and I enjoyed our first breakfast of the year. Oh it was good... kinda want some more. But I can't eat a lot. As a rouge, I need to stay in physical shape. That's the thing about magic here. There are limitless possibilities here. Some become Warriors, others mages, wizards, anything really, BUT, you have to know your limitations.
"I talked to Luna earlier. She stopped by." said Twilight as I entered our room.
"Isn't she a senior this year?"
"Yeah. She's in her sister's class."
"Well you'll be in there next year."
"But only the best mages get to be in her class."
"Twilight, I don't approve of that negativity. I promise that you are the best of the best."
"Are you sure?"
"Trust me."
"Some of the others don't think so."
"Trixie?"
"Trixie."
"Twilight... She's...Ugh... Trixie's a bitch!"
"True."
"Yeah she is. I mean honest to God all she can do is magic tricks. Hell I can beat her with flashy lights and shit."
"But that's because you can control shadows! I need to control actual magic spells!"
"My spells aren't magic?"
"Oh... did I sound that bad? Sorry."
"Twilight. You are going to be the best. Just trust me. I have that feeling in my heart. You know what-"
"I know that if you feel something than it's true. Thanks for helping."
"Welcome." She kissed me on the cheek and went to the bedroom to change. We have to wear the uniform which is a black jacket, black slacks, and a tie for boys. It's a black sweater, a skirt, and no tie for girls. We could wear any shoes we wanted though. Same thing with socks or stockings or leggings or whatever people wear these days. So do I want to wear my trademark converse? Hell yeah. Twilight came out wearing her uniform... and trust me when I say she makes uniforms look sexy.
"How do I look?"
"Damn..."
"*giggle* You always think I'm pretty."
"That's because you are."
"Your such a charmer."
"Does that mean I get a prize?"
"In a little while."
"Of course." I went to the room and changed into my uniform. I wasn't like the others. I didn't add a vest or anything like that. I was the only person you would see around here that left his jacket unbuttoned, his tie messy, and wearing converse shoes. Oh I occasionally wore gloves. Either knit during winter, or fingerless leather gloves for when I'm practicing my swordplay. "Hey Twilight. Do you know a Elizabeth Knightly?"
"The nurse's daughter?"
"Yes. I'm suppose to give her a letter. Do you know what she looks like?"
"She's not very tall, Uh... she has deep red hair. Oh she's very cute."
"Okay. Cute red head. Gotcha."
"I'm going to go get our schedules. It was nice of the school to let us start on Friday."
"So we have extra time to prepare."
"I know."
"It was nice. Okay. Maybe we'll get Mr. V as our homeroom teacher again."
"That was so much fun last year!"
"Alright. I'll see you in a bit."
"Bye love."
"Bye sweetie." we kissed each other and parted ways in the hall. I turned around quickly to see her again. "Nice..." I told myself as I watched her skirt move. "Okay. Time to get my shit together." I walked down to the main hall and found all the freshman standing up. There were at least 200 students all together. I walked past all of them reading their nametags.
"What are you doing?" asked one of them.
"I'm Sir Dustin. Chief of Security. I'm using a spell to make sure none of you have a demon inside of you waiting to attack us."
"Oh my..." she quickly stopped talking. I'm a natural liar. If my dad gave me anything good... it was his tongue. Well... that and my (Kids below the age of 18 shouldn't want to know about this.) Eventually I found the cute redhead. She was with a group of 3 other kids with 'Stephan, Sally, and Charity' on their nametags. I slipped her the letter and she looked at me with her big blue eyes like I was a stalker.
"It's from your mother."
"Liz... I think he's watching us." said Charity.
"Please. I'm only 17. Like I would be the Security Chief... come on kids. Use your imagination."
"I believed you." said Sally.
"Good. Then it worked."
"How did you do that?" asked Stephan.
"Oh I said it with a great deal of charm."
"So my mother gave me this?" asked Liz.
"Well... no she gave it to me to give to you."
"Thanks."
"No prob." I turned around and walked into the Library. I was hoping that this year I could quit Starbucks and work with Twilight in the library. Inside I found Brandon. "Brandon! How's it going man!"
"Dustin! OH I missed you!" He picked me up and hugged me. "Tell me are you still dating that cute Sparkle girl?"
"Of course I am!"
"Man you really scored lucky with her."
"Tell me about it." we bro-hoofed and parted ways. I went back to my room and unpacked my things into my side of the room. "Okay... extra uniform, check. Regular clothes, check. Swords, check. Cat food, check. Xbox, check. Games. check. Seems like I'm good to go."
"You won't believe this but we have every class together! And all of our friends!" said Twilight behind me. I quickly threw some of my clothes back in the bag to cover the presents I hid in the bottom. Twilight's birthday is next week.
"Are you kidding me?!" She showed me my schedule. We all had things like math, science, english, and whatever together. I imagine Celestia want's us to stay together due to last year's... 'incident.' And by incident I mean a certain someone threw a hussy-fit. And if you can't guess it's Rarity.
"No! I talked to everyone!"
"This is the 3rd year in a row, huh?"
"4th."
"Oh...right." There are different courses in the classes however. Like for example, during Practice class while I work with swordplay and my magic set and Twilight will be in another area practicing her spells. Doesn't that make sense? It should.
"What are you doing?" she asked as I looked out the window.
"I'm seeing what the others are doing. Like if I look at Nathan's room over there I'll probably- OH MY GOD! Put some clothes on!"
"What did he do?"
"He dropped his towel." I turned around. "Scarred. I am scarred for life."
"Uh huh..." she was looking at him.
"Twilight no! Don't check him out!"
"No. Over their. 2 windows left. Looks like the Rowdy Rough boys are back."
"Great. Those fag-sticks."
"I hate them."
"Who doesn't?" I closed the window and got pinned against the wall by Twilight. "Oh my..."
"Do you know what I'm in the mood for?"
"I'd say cheesecake but I doubt Pinkie baked any so I'd say-" she cut me off with a kiss. "Mmm... Twi."
"Yes?"
"Do you know how hard it is to do it when your on the wall?"
"Then start moving." she kept on kissing me and I led us both to the bed. I felt her fingers going through my hair and her passionate tongue in my mouth. About 8 minutes later and we were both exhausted on the bed. "Wow... your getting better."
"I hear that you get better with age."
"Must be true." Then Rainbow walked in.
"Hey Twilight! Dustin! I need you guys to- Oh... excuse me." she turned around.
"Hold that thought." I reached over and grabbed my pajama pants. They were black with stars all over them. "Okay. What do you need?"
"Have you been working out?" she asked pointing to my chest.
"Don't get off topic."
"Okay. So uh... I got a letter from my ex-girlfriend Gilda. She wants to get back together with me but..."
"Your with Pinkie now." Twilight said finishing it. She changed to her purple and pink plaid pajamas. I grabbed my Dropkick Murphy t-shirt and my slippers. "Dustin you use to play matchmaker."
"Still do apparently. Look Dash. Don't you dare leave Pinkie for Gilda. She's a wonderful, if not excited, girl. I think you and her make the perfect couple."
"Do you really?"
"Yes. I really do. Gilda is... Gilda is... oh how do I put it gently?"
"A cheating whore?" said Rainbow surprisingly.
"Yes! A cheating whore. That's one of 10 reasons why you shouldn't get back with her."
"10?!"
"Nah... make it 30. Wait... hold that thought... 34."
"That many huh?" asked Twilight moving her hand in front of me.
"Well... there was an exception. Dash I can give you 33 reasons why you shouldn't date Gilda."
"It's okay. You already helped me enough."
"Are you sure? There pretty good."
"I'm positive."
"HIV positive?"
"Ye-NO!"
"Almost gotcha. Tell Pinks I said hi."
"Alright. See ya guys."
"Problem solved Twilight."
"You still got that charm huh?"
"Yeah. What do you want to do?"
"Did you bring Netflix?"
"On the Xbox."
"Then let's watch a movie!"
"Hmm... good plan. Too good. Twilight I'm afraid your plans are having an impact on me."
"W-what?" she looked scared.
"I think I'm falling in more love with you. Keep it up and I'll be a mindless slave."
"But I'd treat you better than a slave."
"There you go again. Keep it up."
"*giggle* Oh your just poking fun."
"*gasp* You've figured out my plans! Abort mission!"
"Get back here!" she hugged my back and pulled me down on the couch.
"No! Don't tickle me!"
"Gotcha!"
"NO-OH HO Hahahahahah! Q-quit it!"
"Say it."
"I-I can't! HAHAHAHA!"
"Say it!"
"Okay... okay..." she stopped tickling me. "Your my BGFF."
"Thank you BBFF!"
"You know I don't like being tickled."
"I know. Give me a hug?" she held her arms out.
"Aw... you know I can't resist a free hug." I pulled her in and we sat on the couch together watching 'The Big Bang Theory.' We couldn't decide what movie to watch (I think we've seen them all.) So... we watched our favorite show. Then we realized it was around 4.
"It's almost noon."
"We've done nothing productive today haven't we?"
"I know. Why don't we talk to some of our friends, grab a bite to eat, come home, and finish cleaning?"
"Did you just think that up?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"That's impressive."
"I haven't noticed that."
"Well... I mean I don't think plans through. You just did. Very impressive."
"Thank you." We left our room but this kid went flying past us with a cart full of suitcases. "That must be the worst job ever invented."
"You mean people pay him to deliver their stuff?"
"Richer kids."
"Your 'rich'."
"My family isn't that rich. More medium class. Like yours."
"Yet they are happy to know that their daughter is the greatest mage since Starswirl the Bearded himself. Face it Twilight. You are an amazing magic user."
"*giggle* Thanks!" she ran up and hug me. I love her giggle. I really do. So yeah... this is basically the life for now. We walked down and knocked on the door of RD and Pinkie Pie but they appeared to be...uh... occupied. So we visited Rarity. Who was busy. With dresses. Why? Why the fuck would someone enjoy this? *sigh* I don't think I'll ever understand. I mean don't get me wrong when I say she's the best. But... I don't find sowing fun. "Why is everyone so busy all of a sudden?"
"Maybe they want to get a head start on their school work."
"*gasp* That's a great idea!"
"No. No it isn't. How are you suppose to do something if you don't know what it is?"
"So what are they doing then?"
"Well... let's check on Fluttershy. She might be available to talk to." We walked over and I knocked on her door. "Hey Shy? You in there?"
"Hold on please." she said opening our door. She was wearing her bathrobe for some reason. Odd? No... hot? Oh yeah. "You can come in."
"Thanks Shy." said Twilight walking in first. "Everyone else is busy with something, except Applejack. We haven't found her yet."
"Oh...um... I don't know anything about that." She's lying. I can tell. But she's so darn cute! I'll let it go for now.
"We were wondering if you could just talk with us for a minute."
"About what?"
"Just you. You see Rainbow and Pinkie are busy having a private party. Rarity is already started on a dress for the first day like last year. Remember? When she made that school uniform into that awesome dress?"
"I do..."
"Well she's trying to top that. Now we stopped by you and you seem to be doing nothing? Hmm... odd indeed. May I ask what is under your robe?"
"Dustin!" Twilight said hitting me in my chest with the back of her hand.
"I'm... just busy trying on some new clothes." she said. Oh... oh that's not what I had in mind. Dammit Dustin! You intruded on a girl's privacy! Fucking moron!
"Oh... sorry." I stood up and turned around. Oh the guilt! The shame! I thought she was sleeping with somebody.
"Well catch up with you later okay?" said Twilight.
"Of course!" they hugged and we left. "So... Applejack? Are you ready?"
"Yer darn right aye am!" said the cowgirl grabbing the innocent girl and going into the bedroom.
"Are you crazy?" said Twilight.
"No. I thought I sensed Applejack in their with her. But I was wrong."
"Your never wrong though."
"Exactly. So we'll check up on them later."
"Oh that's gross!" said Twilight now figuring it out. "Okay. Maybe your friends need help?"
"I haven't found Kelly yet. Nor Kay for the matter. I imagine Brandon is hitting on some chick right now so he's occupied. Lucas hasn't text-ed me yet saying he got here. He's late like always. Nathan! OH he's probably available!"
"You do have some good friends."
"That I do. I know that they will never stab me in the back."
"I could say the same about my friends as well."
"True. Except the fact that they don't want to talk to us."
"...Shut up."
"Hahahah... Oh there's Nate now. Yo Nathan!" I said getting the dude's attention.
"Whats up Dusty?" he said slapping my high-five and pulling me in for a hug.
"We came to talk. The other friends are busy."
"What kind of 'busy' are we talking here?"
"Friends with benefits."
"Gross."
"It's cool. So what are you doing?"
"Helping kids get their things unpacked."
"Oh lord-y lord-y! Nathan's a saint! A saint with a heart for coin!"
"You know me too well. We working at Starbucks together again?"
"You know it."
"Alright. How you doing Twilight?"
"I'm doing good. We saw you naked earlier."
"W-what?!"
"*giggle* We'll tell you later." She walked down the hall.
"She's kidding right?"
"No. You scarred me for life. It was gross."
"I'm going away now."
"Yeah. See ya later." We parted ways awkwardly. You know what I felt like? I felt like acting like one of those kids from the pokemon games where when you just walk by them, they walk up to you and say 'I like shorts! There comfy and easy to wear!' and then you battle, knock him out, take his money, and buy some repel (which is actually some dude's piss) and then you just fuck around in the grass. Not a care in the world. Hmm... how awkward is that?
"Dustin hurry up you slowpoke!"
"I'm coming!" I took a small jog and caught up to Twilight. "I think Niko might be available. Want to chat with him?"
"Nah he's fine."
"Okay then. Let's grab our dinner and leave." We went to the cafeteria and ate some of the actual good school food. It was mostly steak. But it was a good one. Yeah. Actual meat. While I was eating I saw that tall kid that David is friends with. He was having troubles with the Rowdy Rough boys. I imagine why they are picking on him. The dude's like 7 feet tall! I'm only 5'11''! Holy Mackerel he's a giant! But he's in trouble. "Twilight I have to-"
"Fight to help that kid?" she said pointing to him. She was paying attention as well. "Be careful. I hate seeing your pretty face all messed up."
"Alright. Give me 2 minutes." I stood up and walked over to the gang of 3. "Hey guys. How's it going?"
"It's Dustin." said the youngest member.
"What do you want this time?" said the leader.
"Oh you know me Butch. I can't stand you picking on someone whose better than you."
"Wanna fight about it?" he said smugly. He threw a fist but I knocked it up with my elbow and used my palms to smack him in the chest. If I'm correct I made his lungs stop working for approximately a half a second. Meaning he's out of the fight. Someone came from behind with a tray so I caught it and flipped him over my shoulder. Then the youngest member looked at me with fear.
"How about you?" I asked him. "Wanna join Butch and Paul here in the floor Wally?" He shook his head no. "Smart kid. Now take these two and get out." He picked them both up and left. "Geez. It's not even the first day and I'm already knocking skulls around."
"Thank you." said Lightning.
"Why didn't you fight back?"
"I try not to resort to violence."
"I see... a noble thing to respect. But I'm afraid here it's not going to do you much good. I'm Dustin."
"I'm Johnathon Tombs. But... everyone calls me Lightning."
"Listen Tombs. Your a good kid and all but your not going to last long being a pacifist. I'll help you around, don't worry. You have a friend who wants me to keep you safe."
"Was it David Visor?"
"Yes it was."
"Tell him I'm not a child anymore!"
"I'll be sure to do that. Find me if you need help. Room 42."
"Alright. Thanks." then Twilight walked up and hugged my arm.
"Ready to go?" she asked gently a kissed my cheek.
"Sure am. See you Lightning." He had a massive blush on his face. Oh no... he's fallen in love. I know because that was the face I had 4 years ago when I first met Twilight. "Hey... hey look at me." I waved my hand in his face and snapped a couple of times.
"Huh what?"
"I said see you. I didn't say space out on me."
"Sorry." he turned away so I couldn't see his face. Aw... someone's got a crush. Well... now I'm his protector... and his rival. Fuck. Well at least I knocked out Butch and Paul. I've been wanting to do that all summer. "I'll see you guys later."
"Bye." we both left the cafeteria after I packed up my remainder of steak for Pal. I know he's a kitten but trust me when I say he needs to eat things like this. We made it to our room and locked the door behind us. Because those kids I beat up earlier will come back. I just don't feel like putting anyone in the hospital today. It's a habit I'm trying to break. I gave Sir Pounce-a-lot his steak and he ate it happily while on his little kitten bed.
"Whose a good boy?" asked Twilight scratching his head making his leg kick. He gave her a small yawn and passed out in her hands so she picked him up. "He's just the cutest thing!"
"Yeah when he's not aggressive."
"But that's only on your command."
"Good point." I was cleaning up our room by dusting all the areas and sweeping around. Soon it was spotless. "Done."
"I think we are all good for the year."
"Heh.... doubt it."
"Well... look at the time. It's getting kinda late."
"Hold on. I have to rig the trap door. In case-"
"The RRB come over?"
"Oh your good."
"Well make it quick please."
"Almost done." I was tying a sledgehammer at the top and rigging it to a electric remote. So if they come in, with a push of a button, I can raise someone's voice an octave! I finished up and turned my back to hear knocking on the door.
"Hey Shafer! You and Sparkle are going to pay!"
"Uh huh." I unlocked the door and moved backwards to the couch.
"I'm going to fuck you up!" said Butch walking in as the hammer came down and smashed right in his balls sending him outside of my room. "OOOOHHHHH! *cough* Okay... I won't mess with either of you two for the rest of my life." his friends picked him up and left.
"That's one problem solved."
"Good job. That's one worry of my back."
"I think so." I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then I realized I've been wearing pajamas all day. That's embarrassing. Oh well. I'm not going to play with time so I'm going to just call it a night. "I'm happy." I jumped on the bed and landed on the left side (my side) and pulled the covers over me. Twilight got in beside me. As we were going in for another kiss, Pal jumped up in the bed and got between us.
"Hiya Pal! Did you come to sleep with me?" she asked him. He nodded his head and stuck his tongue out at me.
"I didn't see Spike today."
"I got a message from Shining Armor saying..." she stopped and pulled out her purple phone. "Little bro will be late today. He got in trouble again. Sorry. He should be there tomorrow. LOL. Love ya Twilly."
"Alright. I'm calling it a night."
"I love you." she said snuggling with me.
"I love you too... Twilly." she hit me in the chest again. "Ow... hahahaha."
"You had better learn your lesson Dusty."
"That's not an insult."
"Musty Crusty Rusty Lusty Trusty Lucky-"
"Stop rhyming my name!"
"Isn't fun is it?"
"Well no. But your nickname is adorable! There isn't anything nice about dust!"
"Actually your name means valiant fighter or brave warrior."
"Thank you Twilight."
"Welcome." she cut off the lamp with her magic. We held hands and placed them both on my baby tiger. "Good night."
"Good night." School begins on Monday. Today's Saturday. Most of the younger kids will be acting up so I had better be careful tomorrow.
Went to see Spider-Man. Yeah. The new one. It was so fucking amazing! (Get it? The Amazing Spider-Man?) I also saw this trailer for a new Disney movie called Wreck-it Ralph. It was so cool because they have all of these video game characters in it! Like I'm not even shitting you I saw Zangeif and Eggman and Bowser, even a ghost from Pac-Man! It's so hype!
Okay... so I know that I've been kinda lazy lately with uploading chapters. But, okay here's my excuse, I just wanted to get out of this world. Start a new one. So I had this great thought... I end this world and combine what I like best of both Earth and Equestria and get a new one. I'm still thinking of a title to call it though. Hmm... if only I had some readers out their who enjoy putting their comments on my stories! They could think of a new world... and it needs to start with an 'e' if you haven't guessed that already.
Also... an apology note for being late with my stories. I do have another excuse but I bet no one wants to hear it. I'm still going to write about it. So I'm in a hospital right now. The details are random but I was checking my mail one day and a fucking arrow or something flew by and slashed my leg open. Yeah. The doc said that I will make a full recovery but I have to walk with a cane for about 2 months. The funnest thing about this is I got one of those blind people canes. So all I need is a pair of shades and I can troll people. I'm still a good dancer. Even on one leg. So that's what I shall be doing.
Next Chapter: Yet again another authors note Estimated time remaining: 7 Hours, 25 Minutes
