Chapter 16: Awkward? NAW!

I woke up suddenly to a scream. I looked around then remembered I was in Flutter shy's. I got up and stretched. Then made my way up the stairs. I opened the door and stepped inside to see Flutter shy staring at me.

"Oh.. its you... b-but... why am I t-tied up...?"

I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You don't remember what happened after the concert thing?"

She thought about it for a moment then her face went pure red. I went over to the bed and untied her. I sat on the bed and she walked up beside me and sat down. Leaning against my arm.

"I'm so sorry... i just can't control it..."

I looked at her and pulled her to a hug. "It's alright Shy, no harm done." She smiled and returned the hug.

She started laughing at me for some reason. Then it hit me. I was still only wearing my boxers.

"I thought it felt a bit cold..." She lost it there and fell on her back laughing.

"Haha very funny."

I walked out of the room and got my clothes. I brought them up to the bathroom and went inside. I shut the door behind me and yelled to Flutter shy.

"Hey Shy! I'm taking a shower, alright?"

I heard a soft reply. "Alright CJ, I'm going to start breakfast."

*******************

After the shower and a great breakfast I walked towards the front door. I turned back to Flutter shy.

"Oh, and Shy?"

She looked up and in my eyes curiously.

"Just so you know. I had considered it."

She cocked her head sideways.

"T-Then... why didn't you do it?"

I continued to look at her.

"Because I don't think it is something that should be forced. Anyway, I'll see you later."

Flutter shy smiled and waved good bye. I walked out the door and took in a deep breath. I walked towards ponyville and was stopped by Rarity.

"Oh, hi Rarity. What's up?"

"Oh, not much dear. I do have some new clothes for you here." She lifted a box to me with her magic.

"Cool Rarity! Thanks."

"No problem dear, you are a good friend."

She started walking away and turned back to me for a moment.

"You also brought a lot of business in for me!" She said with a smile at the end.

"Haha, anytime Rarity."

I brought the box to my house. I opened It up and took a look at what was inside. What I saw amazed me. Inside was a black shirt and a green and black jacket. The jacket's colors seemed to be half and half and mix in the middle. In the center of my shirt was a distorted figure of discord. the pants matched the jacket as well in color.

'I think she is going to do this EVERY song' I thought, laughing a bit.

I put on the clothes and walked towards ponyville. Everyone looking at me on the way. Then three fillies came up to me.

"Hey look! It's CJ!" They said in unison.

"Hey hey, calm down, so, what's up?"

They looked up and then Applebloom spoke. "We wanted t' know if ya'll could... oh ah' don't know... give us ah' souvenir or something?" When she finished all three of them put on huge smiles.

"Hm... I don't know..."

They all tackled me and started jumping on me.

"pleasepleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseple-"

"Alright! Alright I will." They all got off and watched me, smiling.

"Here you can have these." I reached into my jacket and pulled out a pair of goggles and handed it to them.

Their faces lit up and they all screamed in joy and ran off.

'I don't wear em much anyway'

I walked through ponyville with no specific destination in mind. I finally stopped at the park and sat down on a bench. I sat there for a good 20 minutes with my music playing in my ears. Then someone sat beside me. It was Pinkie.

"Hi CJ! How are you doing?"

"Hey Pinkie, I'm doing alright, although I AM kind of bored. I have been thinking of a song to mix, but I need a singer."

"Can't you sing it?"

"No, I need a mare's voice to sing this one." I said winking at her.

"Huh... who are you going to ask?"

"Someone who loves to sing, and has a great voice."

"Flutter shy?"

"No, someone who usually can't stay still." I said, looking at her.

"Rainbow dash?"

'Is she serious?'

"NO! I mean YOU Pinkie!"

"Oh! Alrighty! I can come to you place tomorrow okie-dokie?"

I nodded to her. "Sure Pinkie, you may like the lyrics anyway."

"Cool! Hey! Come to sugarcube corner in a bit! I have a special cake just for you!"

I smiled at her. "Alright Pinkie, thanks, see you soon."

She smiled even wider and then hopped off.

I sat there for about another 20 minutes then got up and made my way to sugarcube corner. When finally got there I pushed open the door and walked in. It was pitch black.

'Hm... must be another party' I thought.

I stood in the darkness before I could hear some rustling from the kitchen than a pan hitting the floor.

'I know Pinkie... she takes surprises seriously... what's going on'

I slowly made my way to the kitchen door and peaked inside. When my eyes adjusted to the cold darkness around me, I saw Pinkie on the floor. Out like a light. I ran over to grab her when something wailed me on the back of the head.

Everything went dark
