Chapter 93: Mourning

Previous Chapter

"Peter..."

The call came out as barely a croak, only loud enough for Peter to hear it.

"Peter..."

Peter took a stumbling step forward, and collapsed to his knees on the hardwood floor. He cradled the unicorns head in his lap, blood from her wound staining his hands and arms. He sputtered as his tears feel onto her face, joining her tears in the matted fur.

"Remember," she croaked, staring up into Peter's eyes, "and do what's right..."

Peter whimpered and gasped, stroking her mane. "I will," he sobbed. "I will..."

"Good," the unicorn whispered.

He rocked back and forth, staring into her eyes, ten ponies standing behind him, crowding the doorway. Three medics burst through, and pulled him away, rushing to the unicorns side. Peter looked back at the unicorn, and saw her smile sadly.

Twilight slowly closed her eyes, and Peter wailed in confusion and agony, turning away from the blood stained pony to fall into the wings of a weeping Rainbow Dash, surrounded by several other weeping ponies.

They were led out by medical ponies, and they all ended up crowding in a large room, separated from anyone else.

They cried in silence, remembering everything about Twilight, their friend and so much more.

They all looked to each other, and they all sobbed, unable to deal with reality.

"And to think...this vacation started with Twilight trying to beat me up...again," Peter sobbed. Everybody let out a small chuckle, a chuckle laden with tears, sadness, and immediate nostalgia as they remembered the first day all of them had joined up in Las Haygas...


Day 7 of the Train

Peters eyes flickered open, the morning light filtered by the cyan feathers on the wings that held him tight. He rubbed up against the cyan pegasus, warm and-

"Get up, sleepyheads!" A voice shouted, cutting through the morning haze like the peal of a fine knife. "We're almost at Las Haygas!"

Rainbow Dash and Peter both groaned, smiling at each other before Pinkie Pie started to jump on top of the two.

"Get...Up...You...Two!" She shouted between hops. Before she could land again, Rainbow Dash rolled out of the way, Peter in tow, letting out a shout of surprise as he tumbled off of the bed.

Pinkie Pie remained floating for a split second, and then slowly landed back on the bed, smiling at her two disgruntled friends.

"You could've just nudged us," Peter moaned, standing at the same time that the cyan Pegasus did.

"There wasn't enough time," the pink pony declared. "We're about to stop in Las Haygas!"

Peter and Rainbow Dash exchanged a glance, and hurried over to the window to see the upcoming destination. All they could see was a few tall buildings, and the glint of the sun reflecting off of the acres of glass and steel support beams.

"Wow," Rainbow Dash breathed. Peter didn't share the sentiment. He was rather unimpressed, as he came from a world full of this. In all honesty, he felt a bit of relief, seeing a city rather than another village or rolling hill...

"Just like home," he muttered with satisfaction. However, he did approve of Brooklyn more than the hardcore mother-fucking city, as he was disinclined to enjoy the bustling crowds and constant traffic. However, without crowds and a population in the billions, he was pretty sure that Las Haygas would have a profound lack of those things. However, curiosity drove him to ask...

"Are there prostitutes in Haygas?"

The two ponies pulled back, wearing shocked expressions and exchanging glances.

"Why do you ask?" The Pegasus asked, curiously.

"Oh, no reason," Peter responded. "Just curious...y'know, to see if it's really like Las Vegas, back on Earth...with the prostitution, the gambling, the drugs, the crime rate and robberies..."

"No offense, but Earth sounds like a shit-hole," Pinkie chimed in. Peter shot her a surprised glance, and laughed softly. "Yeah, some of it is...But in Soviet Russia, Earth call you shit-hole."

"I don't get it," Rainbow Dash said after a few moments of silence. Peter shrugged. "It's a joke."

"Yeah, and I don't get it. Duh," she whispered.

Peter nodded, and was about to explain the joke when a purple unicorn walked into the room.

In the somber room of mourning, Peter smiled sadly, remembering how happy and chipper Twilight had been...

"Hey guys," Twilight chirped. She magically placed a black slab on Peters' bed. "I took your Kindle and read the history book. It was pretty interesting, especially the bit about Egypt."

Peter nodded, and said, "in Soviet Russia, book read you."

Twilight stared at him blankly for a moment, and then smiled. "Oh, because Soviet Russia is the opposite of America, right?"

"Exactly," Peter replied. "See, Rainbow Dash? Somepony gets my jokes."

Rainbow Dash shot him a disgruntled glance. "Yeah, 'cus she's a total egghead."

"Hey, I'm an egghead, too," Peter protested.

"Thanks for sticking up for me," Twilight chuckled, "but you don't have to."

"Who the fuck said I was sticking up for you?" Peter asked with a smirk. "Calling you an egghead insulted me."

Twilight gave him a blank stare, and, with a flash of light, sent a ball of dense air careening into his stomach, winding him as he doubled over in pain.

"You crazy fucking asshole!" He shouted, breathing deeply as the lavender unicorn giggled lightly. "What's so funny?" He muttered.

"I'm sorry, it's just that seeing you in pain is kind of funny now..."

Peter rolled his eyes, and sat on the bed, rubbing his aching midsection. "Well, thanks. Now, can you just tell me if we need to do anything before we reach Las Haygas? Like, brush up on culture bullshit?"

Twilight frowned at Peter. "You have to be a pony again."

"What?" Peter sat bolt upright, shocked. "But why? I'm a hero, I saved Rarity's life!"

"And for that," a sweet, sing-song voice rang out, "I am eternally grateful. But you must be a pony, or you will be shunned by the community. Believe me, in Las Haygas, they are very, very quick to judge."

Peter rolled his eyes, and glanced at Twilight. "Go ahead, then," Peter sighed. "Do it. Make me a mother-fucking pony."

"Not yet," Twilight protested. "Not until we're near Las Haygs. We can't afford to lose any time from the spell."

Peter shrugged with a yawn. "Well then, I guess I'm just going to use my Kindle then."

"What for?" Rainbow Dash inquired.

"I'm going to watch 'Two Best Friends Play,'" he explained. "I have the videos saved on there..."

The ponies exchanged glances, and shrugged. Rainbow Dash let Peter have some alone time, so she could stretch and get ready to fly around Las Haygas and go into the legendary Cloud Casinos.

After what seemed to be ages to Rainbow Dash, Twilight finally made Peter into a pony once more, and she knew they were close. She loosely examined his body, and saw that he had a horn this time.

"Why does he have a horn?" She called from the ceiling, not really caring about the explanation whatsoever.

"Magic has different effects every time," Twilight explained. "So he could be an earth pony or a Pegasus or a unicorn. Only problem now is that he won't have control over the magic, so we'll have to keep a close eye on him."

"I feel...Funny," Peter complained. He immediately raised a hoof to his mouth, as his voice was considerably less masculine.

"Twilight...Did you transform Peter into a mare?" Rainbow Dash carefully inquired, straining not to burst out in laughter.

"I...I think so..." Twilight breathed, shocked by the sudden turn of events.

"Wait, Peter's not a colt?"

Peter turned to see Applejack, staring at him...or her...or, fuck I don't know, he's a dude with no dick...in shock and repulsion. "But how'd you get RD pregnant?"

"I made him into a mare by accident," Twilight explained.

Applejack's frown deepened. "So, you cut his cock off!?"

Everypony in the room stopped and stared at Applejack, even Fluttershy, who had just crawled out of her compartment.

"Not exactly a thing I like to hear when I get up in the morning," she grumbled. "Can't I get some bucking peace and quiet in the morning for once?"

Everypony's eyes began to trace Fluttershy in shock as she slowly walked over to the table, her hair in a mess, and her eyes drooping with exhaustion. Her head dropped down onto the table, and she let out a string of expletives, all more shocking than the last.

"Bucking shit cunts," she finally let out, "I didn't get any bucking sleep last night..." The...'timid' Pegasus looked up, and was suddenly shocked into wakefulness. Even Pinkie Pie stood completely motionless, mouth agape and ears perked.

"Oh," Fluttershy squeaked. "Goodmorning...girls...I, uh...must've forgotten....Uh......."

With a final squeak, she ran back into her bedroom, too fast for the eye to see.

Everypony stood in complete silence, until Peter said: "So, still shocked as shit that I'm a fucking cunty mare, Apple-fucking-jack?"

Applejack snickered lightly, and Spike carried Rarity to the couch by the window.

"What happened?" Twilight asked.

"She fainted," Spike replied.

"I bet I can make her faint again," Peter (or Petress?) said with a small smirk. Everypony shot him...her...it...shit, a glance, and dismissed it. They all knew how easily she could faint.

But Peter had something else in mind.

They all waited for Rarity to wake up, and when she did, Peter dragged Rainbow Dash over to the mare.

"What're you doing?" the cyan Pegasus asked.

"You'll see," she he it fucking shit fuck it die all genders replied.

"Hey, Rarity, Twilight changed me into a mare," Peter called out. The white unicorn looked up at him, and snickered lightly. "So, watch this."

With a flourish, she/he/fuck dragged Rainbow Dash into a long kiss. At first, she didn't fight, seeing as how they were engaged, but then she realized that he was a mare.

And that Rarity had just fainted.

Rainbow Dash yanked away from Peter, and fell on her butt, staring at Peter with rage as she stood up.

"The buck, Peter?" She shouted.

"Hey, we're getting married, right?" He asked with a smirk.

"Yah, but I'm not a marrying a mare!"

"Oh, so because I look like a mare, you don't want to marry me anymore?"

Rainbow Dash donned a face worthy of the caption of "da fuq?" "When did I say that!?" She demanded.

"I was joking," he stated matter-of-factly, "duh..."

Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and looked towards the large window on the walls, watching the train slowly hiss to a stop, and the station come into view. As the train came to a complete halt, the intercom crackled to life.

"We have arrived in Las Haygas. Take care to attend to your luggage and mind the gap when you exit. Enjoy your stay!"

Peter started towards the door, luggage already awkwardly placed on his back, when Twilight stood in his path. He looked around her, confused, and inquired as to why she stepped in front of him.

"Why hath thou interrupted mine path towards yonder city, young lady Sparkle?"

Twilight simply stared at him, and ignored the way he phrased the question. "You have to keep your emotions in check, or your magic could go crazy."

Peter nodded, and looked back to his friends. "Hey, where's Fluttershy?"

They all looked to the closed compartment, and let out a collective sigh. Applejack rolled her eyes as Rarity awoke with a small cringe, the image of two mares kissing and the timid Pegasus stringing together several curses causing her physical pain.

"Well, let's get her outta there..." Peter sighed, ready for an hour long struggle.

About twenty minutes later, Peter followed Applejack out of the room as Fluttershy was dragged out by her tail. The mortified Pegasus simply cowered on the ground, hiding in her wings. Rarity frowned and started to criticize her. "I can't believe that you would be so vulgar! I thought you were better than that, Fluttershy!"

Peter sighed and pushed Rarity out of the way. "Hey!" She shouted. "Has everypony forgotten their manners today!?"

Peter sat next to Fluttershy and lay a hoof on her shoulder. "Fluttershy, it's okay."

The yellow Pegasus looked up at Peter in confusion. She shrank back, as the mare was a complete stranger. Not only that, but she looked like a colt, what with her short hair.

"It's me, Peter," he explained. "Twilight accidentally made me into a mare...Long story, trust me. Anyway, it's okay that you curse sometimes. In fact, I thought it was kind of impressive..."

Fluttershy looked up, confused. "How so?"

"You have all that pent-up frustration and anger in you, but you manage to find places to store it and exert it so you don't offend your friends."

Fluttershy smiled, and nodded.

"And, we're all your friends. We respect you no matter what, okay?"

Fluttershy smiled, and stood, ready to face the day.

"Just try not to do that in public, okay?" Peter added with a smirk. Fluttershy blushed, and Peter patted her on the back. "Oh, come on. You've got a knock-up team of bucking shit cunts, y'know? We'll keep you out of trouble!"

Fluttershy giggled lightly, and nodded. Peter stood, and all the ponies in the room prepared to finally leave the train, and start their vacation in Las Haygas.

They would meet some strange ponies, and loose several things.

And by the end of it, life would never be the same for them, ever again.
