I'll Get The Job Done
Chapter 4: Cutie Marks and Bug Bears...Quite The Combo
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAfter some weird introductions Nick found himself walking with the CMC, with his hands buried deep in his pockets he walked beside Applebloom. The human coughed slightly getting the attention of the small fillies, "so what are even supposed to be doing?" He asked curiously.
Scootaloo perked up at the question, "well. We are the Cutie Mark Crusaders! We help ponies find their cutie marks!" She said pointing to her flank. "See here? This is where it's supposed to be." She asked.
Nick turning his head away the moment she showed him her flank, "Uh yea sure..." He said rather uncomfortable as the fillies tilted their heads in confusion by his actions. Applebloom shrugged, "so girls what shall we do?"
They all looked away, Nick looked down at them. "How about you guys give me a proper tour of the town?" A spark formed in all three of the fillies eyes. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS TOUR GUIDES YEAH!!" They shouted, Nick letting out a small chuckle in response.
The three fillies walked with the human, Sweetie Bell speaking up. "This is Sugar Cube Corner! Where Pinkie Pie works!"
"Ah. I assume it's a type of restaurant?" He put together as Sweetie nodded. " We can stop there if you want!"
"Not now, hell I don't even think you ponies accept dollars."
"What's a dollar?" Scootaloo asked with a confused look on her face along with the other CMC, Nick reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet. Pulling out one dollar and showing them.
"Why would we accept paper? We use bits!" Applebloom said pulling out the golden token.
"Wait what. You guys use ACTUAL gold?!" He asked surprised at the fact, the country pony giggled softly. "Well yea! Why would we take paper like I said!"
Nick took a deep breath and slipped his wallet back into his pocket. "Also just saying I already know the big glass castle is Twilight's. She's letting me crash there for a while." He said as he shrugged again.
Applebloom nodded, "lets keep going then!"
Nick nodded as he followed, "that is the spa!" Scootaloo pointed out, "Rainbow Dash went there a few times after her first time there!" She said smiling as Nick raised an eyebrow.
"Huh. Sounds like she's your action hero, I have one of those." The human said chuckling.
Scootaloo looked to the side pouting, "Rainbow Dash is my idol!" She said as Nick chuckled again, rubbing and ruffling the fillies mane. "Ah I can tell just from the passion in your voice!"
Scootaloo looked away again her cheeks glowing softly in embarrassment as Sweetie Bell chimed in, "this is the town hall where a lot of the ponies come to gather! And the center of town!"
"Well it is a town hall so I'd assume it'd be in the middle." Nick replied rolling his eyes as Applebloom pouted at him. Nick grinning slightly, the trio looking at their rumps. "Hmmmm.. maybe we haven't shown him everything!" She said.
"Well I mean...I kinda am alright I know everywhere I need to know..." He said as the fillies looked up at him. Giving him puppy doggish eyes as if begging him to allow them to show him more, he couldn't help himself as he took a deep breath rubbing his eyes. "Alright!" He said.
The fillies smiling widely Sweetie Bell using her magic to pull Nick's hand dragging him along.

Hours passed as Nick groaned softly, sitting at Sugar Cube corner taking a deep breath with the CMC happily eating a few muffins and cupcakes. Nick had began to eat the cupcake in front of him, it had been pretty damn great while he didn't eat as many sugary treats as he did during his childhood.
The CMC had been sitting at a separate table from him, conversing on ways to get their butt tattoos. 'Cutie Marks. Fuck forgot.' He thought as he sighed softly, Pinkie Pie sliding in front of him. "You ok Nick? You need to turn that frown upside down!" The bubbly pink mare stated.
This received a snort from Nick as he leaned back in his chair, "I suppose since I do have one of the greatest wristwatches ever. Although I didn't expect to end up in Equestria, I feel so alien here.."
"That's because you are a alien silly! A alien from a different dimension! You're better then a alien!" She said as she sat beside him.
The human laughed a bit in response, "well then yea I suppose it'd only be logical I feel this way. I guess I am kinda special here, and it does feel nice to be...unique!"
The mare giggled, "I know right?" She replied smiling widely sliding a cupcake in front of Nick.
"Shouldn't I actually pay for this one?" He asked raising an eyebrow, the mare shook her head. "This is the last free one! I swear!" She said smiling.
Nick smiled back as he picked it up and began to eat it, before standing up. "We're leaving. Cmon, I'm taking you all home."
The CMC's ears perked up as they looked at the human who was eating another cupcake, "alright!" Applebloom chirped up as she and the other two stood up walking behind Nick who walked outside the bakery. Yawning slightly the human took a bite out of his cupcake, "do we have to go home yet? I enjoy hanging out with you!" Scootaloo said as Nick chuckled softly.
"Well I mean hey I gotta get you guys home or else your siblings are gonna fuckin kill me." He said laughing a bit.
The fillies laughed with him as Nick began to take each of them to their respective homes, dropping Scootaloo off to Rainbow Dash who due to their sisterly bond Rainbow had allowed the pegasus to stay with her for a while.
Then dropping Applebloom off to Applejack who had given the human a warm hug, it making him blush immensely.
Finally he walked Sweetie Bell back home who he was carrying on his back, "I had fun today Nick!" The unicorn stated as the human chuckled, he was honestly exhausted from his tour.
"I had fun to Sweetie, thank again for the tour." He replied as he chuckled softly smiling at her.
Nick smiled as he felt the filly nuzzling into his neck, he couldn't help but feel happy as he knocked on the door at Rarity's door the mare opening it as she smiled at Nick. The human chuckled putting the filly down, "I believe this is yours?"
The unicorn nodded as Sweetie gave Nick one more hug on his legs before running inside into her room.
"Thank you for watching Sweetie Bell for me Nick darling." Rarity said smiling as the human chuckled rubbing the back of his head. "Anything for a friend." He replied.
The sudden sound of a roar filling his ears, ponies screaming and running past him. Rarity looked back at Nick in shock, "Darling! Get inside I'll get the gir-" She was cut off as Nick ran forward past the ponies who ran in the opposite direction from him.
The human had planned on taking a nap once he got back to Twilight's castle but the sound of roar, it was calling to him. A call to action perhaps?
Nick stopped at the town hall seeing a mix of a Bee and Bear with vibrant purple eyes floating off the ground using it's wings.
"What...the fuck...is that..?" He asked as the monster looked him and roared in his face taking a slash at the human, he quickly jumped back and looked at his Omnitrix, clicking the faceplate and slamming down on the dial.
His body shrunk down as his hands and feet turned into very skinny legs as his skin turned yellow, the transformation complete he looked himself over.
"Are you fucking serious?! Ball Weevil?!" He asked as the Bug Bear took another slash at him, he dodged as he slid on the ground opening up his mouth and shooting out of his mouth a green ball of slime. Jumping on top of it he began to roll it instinctively as he rolled around with it.
The ball collecting rocks and grass as the Bug Bear attempted to sting him with it's tail.
Nick jumping out of the way, the creature instead of stabbing him stabbing the ball of slime. A massive explosion occurring as he landed on the ground, taking a deep breath as he looked at his tiny legs, "ok...maybe I can I work with this!" He mumbled to himself the Bug Bear picking itself back up as it road back at him.
Lunging at Nick, he quickly leaped onto a wall as he spat out three more sticky balls of slime before rolling pushing them together making a bigger ball as he rolled it along the wall. The inside of the rather large orb glowing a bright green, the Bug Bear looked at Nick as he ran the ball into the bear.
The last thing heard was a massive explosion, the Mane Six finally arriving taking a battle stance. The dust cleared as Nick walked out, straightening his jacket the unconscious body of the Bug Bear on the ground. "Why. The FUCK! DID NO ONE TELL ME BUG BEARS WERE A THING?!" He asked as Twilight gave him a sheepish smile.
"S-sorry heh..forgot to mention that..." She said blushing in embarrassment.
The sound of cheering could be heard as Nick raised a brow, ponies huddling around him. This made the human chuckle slightly, "hey it was nothing..." He said as he shook his head.
Pinkie Pie appearing on his back, "FINALLY PARTY TIME TONIGHT!" She shouted, Nick ready to object before looking at the ponies who had been cheering him and extremely grateful that he had saved them.
Nick paused before sighing and smiling, "Yeah. I guess it is party time!"
