Alright, recap time. I don't know where I am exactly. I've met a bunch of mares and one dyke. The unicorn called Twilight Sparkle is somepony who can give me the answers I need. I need to keep my eye on Rainbow "Dyke" Dash, for my personal safety. I also require a place to sleep as I am not going to sleep in the forest again. Might as well try to be friendly.

You mean be a total dick to Rainbow Dash.

Ignoring that, I spoke up "Miss Sparkle, would you be kind enough to give me a tour around the nearby town?"

"Sorry, I have to get back to my studies."

"I CAN!"

No, NOT HER!

"Great, its settled, Pinkie will give you a tour of Ponyville and once she is done, you will come by the library to answer more questions."

We're still being interrogated? We gave you the answer to the questions that need answering.

"Please don't leave me."

That didn't work and in a few moments, I was stuck with Pinkie Pie.

"What now?"

I shouldn't have asked that.

3 hours later

She hasn't shut up in three hours. Its literally been nonstop for THREE HOURS.

All of Pinkie Pies ramblings and getting off topic had gone on for so much time, going back to face my crimes would be welcome in comparison to this punishment.

"And here we are, the library. Twilight is waiting for you inside."

...

"Well, its not nice to make her wait, go in."

That was uncharacteristic of her.

SON OF A BITCH, SHE ACTUALLY SHUT UP! THANK CELESTIA, whoever that is.

This revelation made me stop and mentally cheer with joy.

"You know, that voice in your head isn't very nice."

Wait, she heard that. Must investigate.

"Pinkie, can you read minds?"

"Nope, only italics."

Okay, what the FUCK was that. Shaking it off, I went to the library door and knocked.

"Its open." The voice came from inside, and it was a bit more masculine than what I expected. Shrugging this off, I opened the door. Inside the tree were books, LOTS of books.

Damn, this is even more books than what the los Pegasus Public Library had.

Right, because that Public Library had a whole entire ten books.

I didn't have much time to muse as I heard "You must be that unicorn Twilight was talking about. WOW, she wasn't kidding when she said you had some scars. Where can I get some, those look AWESOME."

It took me a good five seconds to realize that the voice was that of the dragon that was twelve feet in front of me. My natural reaction was to stare at him.

"What, you've never seen a dragon before?"

"No, I've met some dragons in my life, but they were a bit taller."

I got a glare that was supposed to be mean and intimidating. but it wasn't. It brought a small smile to my face.

"What are you smirking at?"

"Nothing."

"You want a piece of-"

He was cut off by the sound of hooves coming down the stairs.

There she was, Twilight Sparkle.

The object of your desire.

We don't joke about that brain. You remember what happened last time I got close to somepony.

Unfortunately.

"Come upstairs Sigma, I have questions."

Not wanting to make a scene right now, I obeyed. Once upstairs, she directed me to a small table in the middle of the room.

"Sit down."

"No."

She seemed surprised by this and redirected the question.

"Would you kindly sit down." She said with much more authority in her voice.

"Well, since you asked nicely." I complied and sat my flank down.

"You say your name is Sigma yes."

"That is correct, why are you asking me this again?"

"This is just for the record."

Wow, she is writing every word we say down.

"Is this an interrogation, Miss. Sparkle?"

"No, but you will be required to answer all my questions or I will report you to the princess."

"What princess?"

"Oh right, los Pegasus isn't part of Equestria. Princess Celestia is the ruler of all the land with her sister Luna. Those two together raise and lower the sun and moon."

Okay, so I will be reported to a pair of super-beings that are extremely OP. Lets not have that happen if we can avoid it.

"Next question Miss. Sparkle."

"Please, just call me Twilight."

"Very well."

Pussy whipped.

Now is not the time brain.

"Can you confirm that you come from the city of los Pegasus?"

"It was my home before moving to Equestria."

"And why did you move to Equestria?"

"To get away from some bad ponies."

"Why come here instead of the closer Griffin Kingdom?"

"They have contacts in the Griffin Kingdom that would bring me back. To my knowledge, they don't have any in Equestria."

"Who are you hiding from?"

"That's my business, not yours."

"Very well. Next question, what was your previous occupation?"

"I was hired muscle at one of the casinos."

"Where did you get those scars?"

"On the job."

"Thats all the questions I have for now, come with me."

"Where are we going?" I asked, standing as I did so.

"To Sugarcube Corner."

This better not involve the pink devil.

As we walked to Sugarcube Corner, I was able to learn that she is Celestia's personal student and a very powerful unicorn.

Twilight opened the door, but there was nothing there. It was nothing but blackness.

"Uh, Twilight, nopony is here."

She didn't answer and the door flew shut. For a few moments, I was left in complete darkness.

Suddenly, there was a bright flash. That triggered my defense reaction and I prepared for a fight.

Somewhere outside of Equestria

The room was poorly lit, all that could be seen was a single pony with a heavy cloak on. The pony was approached by a second pony with a cloak that blocked all of his features that weren't his eyes, a very unusual yellow that looked almost demonic. Staring into them could cause even the bravest of ponies to cower in fear.

"Are you sure your the best?"

"Of course, me and my partner are unbeatable." The first pony, evidently a mare with an upper class voice said.

"Good, I have a job for you, the termination of an ex-employee of mine. The man at the door will give you the details."

"Whats the pay?"

"you will get one hundred thousand bits upon bringing me his horn. All the other bounty hunters have failed, but they volunteered to remove him. They were amateurs."

"Why do you need my services then?"

"Because, I have no influence over Equestria. I needed the best from Equestria for this job. Will you take it."

The mare smiled, her amethyst eyes penetrating the darkness. Next Chapter: The Party Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 7 Minutes
