Why is this my life?
Chapter 3: The end of the beginning... Pt.3
Previous Chapter Next Chapter"So why did you want me to come with you?" Moonshine asked. Moonshine and Gamertag were in a park walking to the library which is where John told them Shooting Star worked. It was kind of late because Gamertag had to finish another day of the gaming tournament before she could go.
"Because I thought it would be nice for you to meet my old friends so you could make some new friends." Gamertag answered with a smile.
Moonshine looked at Gamertag with a confused look until she realized that Gamertag must have heard what Moonshine mumbled last night at the bar before everyone left.
"Oh alright..." Moonshine said and she looked away shyly. She then half hugged Gamertag really quickly, still looking away. Gamertag gave her a warm smile in return.
"I wonder if Trex is going to have sex with Game Shard." Moonshine said while smirking.
"WHY DO YOU KEEP SAYING THAT?!" Gamertag yelled and then gagged. Moonshine laughed at her reaction.
"Oh hey looks like we’re here." Moonshine said. Gamertag and Moonshine walked up the stairs to the front door of the library.
"HELLO EVERYPONY!!! THE AMAZING AND ONE OF A KIND MOONSHINE IS HERE TO MAKE THIS PLACE ACTUALLY FUN!!!" Moonshine yelled when her and Gamertag opened the doors.
In response all the ponies in the library shushed her.
"Wow these ponies are rude." Moonshine said.
"Moonshine this is a library! We have to be quiet!" Gamertag whispered loudly.
"Oh... SORRY EVERYPONY!!!" Moonshine yelled.
The ponies shushed her again and Gamertag facehooved.
"Let's just find Shooting Star and get out of here before you get us kicked out and banned for being too loud." Gamertag said.
Moonshine and Gamertag then went around the library looking for Shooting Star.
"This place is huge! We’ll never find her." Gamertag said after searching for awhile.
"Wait... I have a idea." Moonshine said and then snuck up behind the table where a couple was reading. Moonshine then used her magic to grab a lamp and turn off all the lights in the library.
"What happened to the lights?!" Somepony asked.
Moonshine then banged the flashlight against the table to get the couple's attention and then flashed the light into their eyes.
"WHERE WERE YOU ON THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER?!" Moonshine yelled as she jumped onto the table.
"What murder?! Somepony was killed?!" The mare asked. She was a white unicorn with long black hair and a paint brush and quill as her cutie mark.
"MOONSHINE!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Gamertag yelled and then pulled Moonshine off the table. "Oh my gosh I am soooo sorry about this!" Gamertag said in a panic and then gave a fake laugh. "You see, she comes from a mental institution and she was let out for a day to see how she interacts with other ponies. Well as you can see she still needs some time in the crazy house so thanks for you help!" Gamertag said and then pulled Moonshine into the Mare's bathroom.
Once Gamertag and Moonshine were gone the Stallion spoke.
“You should join her Divina.” He said with a grin.
The mare glared at her coltfriend.
"HEY!" Moonshine said annoyed, "You should have said WHY I was in a mental institution!" Moonshine whined.
"Look I am sorry I said- wait... YOU WANTED ME TO WHAT?!" Gamertag yelled.
"Tell them why I was in the mental institution!" Moonshine said again.
"...alright... You are in a mental institution because you BREAK INTO PONIES HOUSES AND THROW THEIR BEDS OUT THE WALL!!!" Gamertag yelled.
"Meh kind of uncreative. I was thinking we should say I am in a mental institution because I think I am a pirate." Moonshine said.
"Wha... You know what I don't care. Let's just find Shooting Star." Gamertag said.
The two of them left the Mare's bathroom and continued their search.
~~~Later~~~
They finally found Shooting Star. She was in the magic section of the library. Shooting Star was a light bluish greyish unicorn with a white and light purple mane and tail. Her cutie mark was a purple shooting star.
"Shooting Star!" Gamertag yelled.
Shooting Star looked over in annoyance until she saw Gamertag. She then smiled and went over to hug Gamertag.
"Gamertag! Wow it has been awhile! How have you been?" Shooting Star said. She then stopped hugging Gamertag to see Moonshine who was currently wearing a paper hat folded to look like a pirate hat.
"Who are you? And please don't tell me you got that paper from a book." Shooting Star asked.
"Name's Moonshine! And I am the coolest pony in Equestria." Moonshine said. She then tried to lay her back against one of the bookcases to strike a cool pose. But her weight caused the bookcase to fall on to the next bookcase... And then the next... And so on until almost every bookcase was on the floor.
Shooting Star mouth fell open and she stared at the mess in shock.
"Opps...." Moonshine said, "Don't worry I can fix this!" Moonshine then used her magic to straighten all the bookcases and put all the books back in place without even a single sweat or any sign she was struggling.
"Wait... IF YOU COULD DO THAT THIS WHOLE TIME THEN WHY DID YOU NOT BRING MY BED BACK UP FROM THE SIDEWALK?!" Gamertag yelled.
"You never asked." Moonshine said with a shrug. Gamertag rubbed between her eyes in annoyance.
"How... How did you do that?" Shooting Star asked still in shock.
"With my magic... You DO know what magic is right? Or are you in the magic section because you are trying to learn what magic is?" Moonshine answered.
"But...but... HOW DID YOU DO THAT SO EASILY?!" Shooting Star yelled.
"Uhhhhh... I don't know?" Moonshine said.
Shooting Star then stared at Gamertag as if she had a answer.
"I honestly have no idea about how anything works with this pony." Gamertag said.
"HOW CAN YOU DO THAT MUCH MAGIC WITHOUT ANY STRUGGLE?!" Shooting Star yelled at Moonshine.
"I really have no idea... Also quiet down this is library not a concert!" Moonshine said with a grin.
Shooting Star glared at Moonshine and she look like she was about to snap. She opened her mouth but was interrupted by Gamertag.
"Well why don't we leave and go find Rift Raft so we can catch up on each other's lives?" Gamertag suggested.
The three ponies then left the library to go to the Gym where Rift Raft was working.
~~~Later~~~
"YOU JUGGLED AND FLIPPED EVERYTHING IN A HOTEL ROOM WITH EASE?!" Shooting Star yelled.
The three ponies were almost at the Gym. Gamertag told both Shooting Star and Moonshine about the past two years. She had just finished explaining what had happened yesterday when Shooting Star had her outburst.
"Yep." Moonshine said, "I can also do this! Now wait until I get back." Moonshine then teleported away.
Gamertag and Shooting Star sat in silence for a few minutes while waiting until Moonshine returned.
"So you want me and Rift Raft to meet these new friends of yours?" Shooting Star asked.
"Yeah! I think you guys will love them! They are really awesome! Game Shard always looks out for me, Moonshine always knows how to lighten the mood, Blaze is really loyal to her friends, Sound Blast is a really kind pony who I think is wiser than she seems, and Skyler is always very skeptical and suspicious about things which can help us dodge any problems we could have faced." Gamertag said.
Shooting Star smiled. "You always have a way of reading ponies... Though I don't understand how you became friends with a stallion who ended up almost stabbing you. You always avoided ponies who would have betrayed you in the future." Shooting Star said.
"Well he said he was lonely and I couldn't help but feel bad for him." Gamertag said, "Speaking of lonely... I don't think Moonshine has many, if any friends."
"Yeah I guess that makes sense... She doesn't really seem to know how to treat ponies properly at times." Shooting Star said.
"Yeah..." Gamertag said and then started to stare off into the distance.
"You okay?" Shooting Star asked.
"Yeah it’s just...." Gamertag started and sighed, "In the time I have some back to Mainhatten I have made some new amazing friends and reconnected with old friends. The gaming tournament's last day was today but... I don't know if I want to leave."
Shooting Star looked at her with wide eyes and then said, "But that is your source of income! You can't seriously be thinking about getting rid of that are you?!"
"Yeah I know... I am still thinking about it... Right now let's just focus on you and Rift Raft meeting everypony else." Gamertag said.
"Well if they are just like Moonshine then I think I am going to have to move to ponyville to get away from them." Shooting Star said.
"Ha! Yeah like that would stop Moonshine." Gamertag said.
Then a burst of magic appeared as Moonshine teleported back. Moonshine was wearing a beret and a fake mustache. She was also holding a baguette.
"Did... DID YOU GO TO PRANCE?!" Shooting Star asked.
"Nah, I just went to the airport and a bakery." Moonshine answered and then bit off a part of the baguette.
Shooting Star just stared at her in shock while Gamertag laughed.
"C'mon guys we are almost at the gym, let's go." Gamertag said and then walked towards the gym. Shooting Star and Moonshine followed and Moonshine teleported all the stuff she brought with her to who knows where.
When they got to the gym Gamertag asked Shooting Star to go in alone and get Rift Raft so that Moonshine would not cause another scene like she did at the library.
A few minutes later Shooting Star came out of the gym with Rift Raft. Rift Raft was a really light pale earth pony mare with a brownish orangish mane and tail and a dumbbell cutie mark.
"Hey Gamertag! What's up!?" Rift Raft said then then hoofed bumped Gamertag.
"I'll tell you in a second but first I want you to meet Moonshine." Gamertag said and then pointed at Moonshine.
"Is that the unicorn that Shooting Star wouldn't shut up about?" Rift Raft asked.
"Wow Shooting Star I had no idea you loved me so much!" Moonshine said and then hugged Shooting Star.
"I don't. I think you are the most annoying pony I have ever met but you for some reason have very strong magic and I WILL find out why." Shooting Star said angrily.
"Wow Moonshine, Shooting Star hates you THAT MUCH?! Damn I really need to step up my game." Rift Raft said with a grin.
Moonshine stopped hugging Shooting Star and said, "Well you can try Shooting Star! But my therapist couldn't explain it either."
"Wait... You have a therapist?" Gamertag asked.
"Well I did as a foal. My parents thought it was a good idea. It only lasted one day before my therapist quit due to lack of sanity. Now HE is the one is therapy." Moonshine answered.
Gamertag stared at her with wide eyes while Shooting Star raised her eyebrow at her and Rift Raft started laughing.
"Oh wow. I like this pony already!" Rift Raft said and then hoofed bumped Moonshine.
"That is not a good thing." Shooting Star said annoyed.
"Well... Well would you look at the time." Gamertag said, "It is 10.... What was that thing that started at 8 again?" Gamertag asked with a grin.
Shooting Star and Rift Raft stared at Gamertag in confusion while Moonshine grinned.
"I believe it had to do with Game Shard and a certain DATE." Moonshine said still grinning.
"Moonshine... Would you love to join me in embarrassing Game Shard on said date?" Gamertag said with a evil smile.
"It would be my honor." Moonshine said.
Rift Raft then started smiling realizing what they wanted to do while Shooting Star got a terrified look on her face.
"Oh this will NOT end well..." Shooting Star said.
~~~At The Restaurant~~~
"And then WHAM we hit him right in the nuts!" Trex said and then started laughing.
Game Shard let out a light giggle and then sighed sadly. The night had been very uncomfortable for Game Shard. Trex was having a great time and when he was not talking or eating he was looking at Game Shard with love filled eyes. Game Shard though was not returning the love. She spent most of the night thinking about how much fun she could be having with her friends. 'I wonder if Moonshine finally did something that made her end up in jail' Game Shard thought, 'or if Gamertag met up with her old friends and they are having a great time catching up.'.
"You know this night has been great." Game Shard's thoughts were interrupted by Trex speaking, "I hope we can do this again."
Here came the part Game Shard was dreading the most, rejecting Trex. Game Shard was going to tell him when something happened... Trex kissed her.
All thoughts of her friends were changed to getting out of their as soon as possible. Once Trex stopped Game Shard said, "I AM GOING TO GET A DRINK AT THE BAR BE RIGHT BACK." She then got up and quickly walked over to the bar.
"Why me... WHY DID I AGREE TO THIS?!" Game Shard yelled while her face was on the table at the bar.
"You alright there GS?" A voice asked.
GS...GS..... Only one pony called her GS and that was-
Game Shard's head snapped up to reveal Moonshine on the other side of the table cleaning one of the glasses.
"MOONSHINE?! OH CELESTIA I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU! HOW ARE Y- wait... WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Game Shard yelled.
"Duh, to watch you on your date!" Moonshine said as if that was totally normal and then threw the glass around and did some tricks with the glass.
"YOU WHAT?!" Game Shard yelled.
"Hey hey hey, calm down. First off this was not even MY idea, it was Gamertag's, who is also here with Rift Raft and Shooting Star. Also Kiara has been here the whole time." Moonshine said.
"Wait... KIARA WAS HERE THE WHOLE TIME?!" Game Shard yelled.
Moonshine then lifted Kiara up from behind the table. "Heyyyy Game Shard.... How's your dat- Oh who am I kidding? OH MY CELESTIA TREX KISSED YOU!!!" Kiara yelled.
"But I don't like him like that!" Game Shard said and then banged her head on the table again.
Game Shard stayed there for a few minutes until she felt a hoof rubbing her back. She looked up to see Gamertag next to her smiling.
"You alright?" Gamertag asked.
Game Shard sighed and then said, "No not really... This date has been weird for the whole thing and then to top it all off he KISSED ME!"
"Wow that guy has totally read the book how to date for dummies. I mean LOOK AT HIM! He is literally doing everything it says to do in the book!" A new voice said.
Game Shard looked behind her to see a unicorn and earth pony standing behind her.
"Star... Should I ask why you know this?" Rift Raft said.
"Game Shard, this is Shooting Star and Rift Raft." Gamertag said pointing at the two ponies behind Game Shard.
"So he is a guard? I could totally take him." Rift Raft said.
"Sure you can. You only have a 97% chance of going to jail for fighting him." Shooting Star said and rolled her eyes.
"You should probably go back before he starts to miss you." Kiara said.
"But I want this date to be over!" Game Shard said.
"You do?! Well I can fix that!" Moonshine said. Moonshine then got on top of the table and yelled, "FOOD FIGHT!!!!" Moonshine then took all the food in the restaurant and started to throw it at everypony.
In response, everypony freaked out and ran out of the restaurant, including Trex.
"Wow and he didn't even come to see if you were ok... What a jerk." Rift Raft said.
"THANKS MOONSHINE!" Game Shard said and then got onto the table to hug Moonshine.
"Well... We should probably leave before the cops get here and throw us out." Shooting Star said.
"Uhhh Kiara are you okay?" Gamertag asked. Kiara's whole face was red and she looked VERY mad.
"Moonshine..." Kiara started calmly, "Run."
"ALRIGHT! MOONSHINE AWAY!" Moonshine said as she ran away laughing.
"MOONSHINE I AM GOING TO BUCKING KILL YOU FOR RUINING THIS PERFECTLY AMAZING DATE!!!!!" Kiara yelled as she chased after Moonshine.
"So... You guys wanna go to the bar and hang out with John, Blaze, Skyler, and Sound Blast?" Gamertag asked.
Game Shard jumped off the table and said, "I wouldn't want to do anything else right now." And Gamertag, Game Shard, Shooting Star, and Rift Raft left the restaurant and went to the bar. As for Moonshine and Kiara well.... You are going to have to wait until the others are at the bar to find out if Kiara has not killed Moonshine.
~~~Later~~~
"Arm wrestle starting in three, two, one, GO!" Moonshine said and then Rift Raft and Blaze started their arm wrestle. Everypony was at the bar and they had been there for a little while. Gamertag introduced everypony and it was all good until Rift Raft challenged Blaze.
"This is a bad idea." Skyler said.
"Oh yeah like THAT will stop them..." Shooting Star said.
"Hey Moonshine where is Kiara?" Gamertag asked.
"Oh well when you guys left Kiara got a mailbox and tried to throw it at me, when that failed she got a knife and then I got on top of the restaurant and spent a while watching Kiara try to get to me. I think she forgot she could just levitate the knife up there but whatever. Then I got bored and teleported here." Moonshine finished and then took a drink of some beer.
"Wait... YOU LEFT KIARA ALONE ON THE STREET WITH A KNIFE?!" John yelled.
"Uhhh yeah. Why woul-" Moonshine started but was then interrupted by a bunch of ponies screaming.
"WHERE ARE YOU MOONSHINE?!?!" A voice yelled.
Everypony just stared at Moonshine.
"Alright I am going out there to calm her down." John said.
"I wonder how he will do that." Gamertag whispered to Game Shard, "Maybe with a kiss." Game Shard just grinned at her.
"So." Skyler started, "You guys are leaving tomorrow right?"
"WAIT YOU’RE LEAVING?!" Moonshine blurted out, "I mean.... Oh yeah heh cool..."
"Well yeah I guess we are leaving tomorrow aren't we..." Game Shard said a little sad.
"No." Gamertag said.
Everypony stared at her. "WHAT?!" They all said.
"No. We are not leaving, I love being back here in Mainhatten and hanging out with you guys even Kiara who may end up in jail at any moment. I want to stay." Gamertag said.
Everypony stared at her with wide eyes and said nothing.
"Well..." Game Shard started, "if you're staying then I'm staying!"
"But what about all your money? Where will you work? What about your reputation?" Skyler asked.
"I don't know." Gamertag said.
"Well" Shooting Star started, "after our conversation we had while waiting for Moonshine to return from the airport, I did some research and I saw how big you two are in the gaming community. If you guys stay here then ponies will probably hold more gaming tournaments here in hopes of getting you two to join."
Everypony started at Shooting Star and then back at Gamertag and Game Shard.
"Well I say it’s worth a shot." Gamertag said with a smile.
Everypony started cheering and then Gamertag and Game Shard were tackled to the floor by Moonshine.
"WHOO HOO!!!! YOU GUYS ARE STAYING!!!" Moonshine yelled hugging them.
"Well I think I calmed her down." John said as he entered the building with Kiara under his wing.
"GUYS! GAMERTAG AND GAME SHARD ARE STAYING!!!" Rift Raft yelled.
"Oh awesome! Well that does explain why Moonshine is hugging Gamertag and Game Shard on the floor..." John said.
"YAY! Well I just thought that Moonshine was in love with one of them so she was hugging them~" Kiara said.
Gamertag and Game Shard glared at Kiara and in return Kiara just smiled.
“Well I think this is going to be a start of a new chapter in our lives.” Shooting Star said.
