Monday, 1 Month Later, 7:00 PM
It was around dinner time for me, and I was just watching Rainbow getting eaten by virtual zombies most of the day. It was funny, she just fell to the ground, trying to pry the zombie off of her. I know that feeling, being pinned down isn't the best thing when it comes to fighting.
"Ahh zombies!" Rainbow shouted, I just chuckled and took off the glasses.
"Hey! I was just about to finish Leon's story!" She barked, I laughed as I put them away to charge.
"Well, you can play again once it charges. It's low battery right now Rainbow." I replied, she hoofed me in the arm. I picked her up and went to the dinner table, where we ate at the house for once.
"What did you find out about the princess?" She asked, I was stalling at this point.
"I found out where she kept her bag full of bananas." I had the perfect poker face, which was good when it comes to getting someone to believe in your story.
"Really? I was always wondering where she gets them from." She was cracking up laughing, I gave a nervous laugh. Rainbow then zoomed past me, I was twirling in place because she was so fast.
"Drew look! The Wonderbolts are performing in Canterlot! We have to go! Please?" She was doing that thing where she quivers her lip again.
"Alright, alright, we'll go. Do you want tickets for just us for for the whole gang?" I asked, she sighed.
"Just us this time, please?" She asked. Confound these ponies and their adorableness, I can't cope if I see too much of it. I then smiled and nodded, it's been a month since my magic's been gone, so it's recharging at a steady rate, in one more month I should be back to normal. I then went to the trainstation, because I like trains, and I got tickets for Rainbow and I to go to Canterlot. She insisted on us staying at the castle overnight, so we could go tomorrow, I just hope Celestia won't mind.
Once we got to the castle, Celestia wasn't there surprisingly, instead Luna was sitting in her own thrown, looking over the day court.
"Hey Luna, I was wondering if Rainbow and I can stay overnight, we're going to see the Wonderbolts tomorrow." I asked, she nodded.
"Your room is in the same place as it was last time. Make yourself at home." She smiled, I thanked her as I went into my room. I had Rainbow go out and get the tickets, because apparently she knows how to buy the best seats in the stadium. Unexpectedly, Nick and the others were here as well, and that Rainbow burst through the door, on the verge of tears.
"Drew! Somepony just robbed me! I was getting my tickets, and was about to get here, and then *poof!* He stole them right from under me!" This isn't good, those tickets probably are worth a lot. I may have a lot of money, but nobody just steals it from me! Well, unless if it's Rainbow or her friends, they always take a little money from the vault.
"Well, fuck." I said, I put on my helmet and my body armor, Rainbow sat there confused.
"Drew? Where are you going?" She asked. The Crew were here too, but they were probably playing with my cousins, I decided to take this one myself.
"Where do you think I'm going? I'm going to get those tickets back!" I said, putting on my gloves, and loaded Goldie with tranquilizer darts.
"Well, good luck!" Rainbow waved me off, I would offer her to help, but she later said that he was armed. I then wandered the streets, my HUD indicating that he was in an abandoned apartment complex. I went into the dark alley that the shady building was in and looked at the sign, I couldn't believe my eyes.
"RIO VISTA?!" The sign said 'Rio Vista Apartments.' I was cracking up laughing, I always wanted to say Rio Vista, like with that cell phone commercial. At the sudden outburst, three thugs came out of the Rio Vista Apartments, and they all were armed, one of them had a gun. I then took out Goldie, just in case this got ugly.
"Who are you and what do you want?" The biggest thug there asked, I just smirked.
"Hey, I look for no trouble, but I want those tickets you stole from that pegasus earlier." I crossed my arms, they just looked at me humorously.
"Who's gonna make me?" He asked, he was waving around those tickets he stole from Rainbow like they were pieces of junk.
"That would be me." I replied, taking the safety off.
"Hmm, it looks like you own a gun as well, where'd you get it?" One of them asked, I lifted Goldie and showed them.
"I got it from an armory, legitimately though." I then accidentally shot one of the thugs, starting a little showdown. He then fired at me, and I had to hide behind cover. I then fired silent darts across into the Rio Vista, I love saying that. I managed to get him in the shoulder, knocking him out, these tranquilizers can bring down an elephant. I walked over towards the one who stole my god damn tickets, I took them away from him and knocked him out.
I walked triumphantly back to the castle, tickets in hand, and I slammed then on the table, like I do in court. Rainbow gleamed at the shiny pieces of paper, I smiled as I sat down on the couch.
"I have retrieved thy tickets, my fair maiden." I mocked, she blushed and put them up so we can actually use them for tomorrow. Surprisingly, it's only been like three hours, and it seemed like shit's been hitting the fan for years.
"Well, goodnight hun." I said, kissing her on the cheek, she hugged me in return. I headed to my room, Rainbow was still playing with her video game glasses, probably playing Jake's story by now.
"What are J'avo? They are so ugly looking!" I can hear her from downstairs, J'avo ARE ugly Rainbow.
Canterlot Stadium
Drew and Rainbow
Tuesday 9:00 AM
It's been quite some time since I've seen a Wonderbolts show, I wonder if Spitfire still even recognizes me. Oh well, they're still pretty badass. I sat there, next to Rainbow, in one of the balconies, no wonder Rainbow wanted these tickets so badly. This time I hope nothing bad happens, oops, I probably jinxed it.
The next thing you know a little foal fell from out of the stands and into the runway, and I don't think the contestants were about to stop anytime soon. I leaped out of the balcony and tried to get to the little foal before it was too late. Right before the runners were about to run over the poor thing, I scooped him up like a football and dolphin dived into the center field and off the runway. The utter speed of the Wonderbolts whizzed past me, I could feel a tingly feeling on my back. I looked to see what that feeling was, and to my surprise, my clothes had scorch marks on them, I chuckled as I looked down to see if the baby was okay.
I got to watch the Wonderbolts race from the edge of the track, because the gates were locked until the race was over. The baby fell asleep in my arms, and he was drooling, so cute. Once the race was over, I walked over to give the baby back to her owner.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" She was in tears. I smiled, and headed out of the stadium, with Rainbow riding on my back.
"Hey you!" Somepony shouted, I turned around to see that it was Spitfire. I looked around to see if she was talking to somepony else, but she was in fact talking to me.
"Me?" I asked, she nodded.
"How come whenever you're here, something bad happens? And then you fix it by yourself?" The very confused mare asked.
"Why are you asking me? She makes me go to see you guys." I told her, both Rainbow and Spitfire looked shocked.
"You're the only one that I know that doesn't want to see the Wonderbolts every time they go to Canterlot." I chuckled, but only because it was true.
"Alright, I think it's about time we should leave." I said, walking out of the stadium. The doors locked before we could walk out, I looked behind me to see that there were ponies dressed as secret agents walking towards me.
"Who are you and what do you want?" I had a serious tone in my voice, I teleported Rainbow out with the magic I had left.
"All we want is a talk, Drew." A southerner voice came from behind the line of agents. I looked around to see if any civilians were around, the stadium was empty.
"We work for the Agency, a league of mercenaries. We noticed your little skirmish over at the Rio Vista, and we would like to ask you to join us." These guys were mercenaries? How did they get their hooves on firearms? I think I'll have to investigate another day about this.
"I'm sorry to disappoint, but I work under direct orders from the Royal Sisters themselves. I'm afraid I'll have to decline." I gave an awkward smile, hoping that they'll understand.
"Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Now that you know we exist, you'll have to die, I'm very sorry about this." He pulled out a Colt Revolver, engraved too. All of the ponies on that side of the stadium were shooting at me, and I was pinned down behind a concessions stand.
