Where....am I?
Chapter 16: Actually...Things Could've Been Worse
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThis one's the Awkward Romance Start up....I love you readers but don't expect me to write out all the choices often.
I feel a jumping on my head and I still feel something brushed against my lips...I was very much awake now but I opened my eyes slowly....I hoped to Celestia and Luna that if I didn't fall asleep next to Fluttershy that I at least went with Dark Shy...What? it's not a bad trade they are the same girl....Kinda.
To my satisfaction...There she is. Fluttershy. Our arms are wrapped around each other's bodies and she's still sleeping. Did you guys know she snores? Yeah she does. But like everything she does...Well almost everything....What? Does anyone look cute violently expelling bodily fluids? Anyway....She's snoring very cute like. I was gonna get up and start my day but why bother...Drowning myself in her beauty is a great way to star the day....Until Asshole and Pri-I mean...Dark Flare and White Fire bust down the door scaring Fluttershy awake.
"EEP!" She says cowering into my chest before I could respond.
I give them the international symbol of Good Look Bro but say," The purpose was...?"
"Oh....We found a couple ponies in the backyard passed out and we got tired of watching Angel kick them." White Fire said.
"And you thought to get us now?" I say
"Actually just Fluttershy....You can't do shit." Dark Flare says.
I was about to tackle to prove how wrong he was but I was stopped since Fluttershy jumped out of her window to tend to the fallen ponies.
"Dick." I say to Dark Flare.
"Nice and Hard 100 percent of the time thank you." Dark Flare says with a bow.
And then White Fire bucked his balls send Dark Flare's voice up an octave or 4.
"w-w-wwhyyyy...? Dark Flare asked sounding like he lost his last breath of air.
"I wanted to see how hard the dick was. Not hard at all." White Fire replied.
I flew out of the window as I heard someone catch a hoof to the balls.
I yell out " I get yall some ice whenever then."
I noticed Fluttershy had gotten her first aid kit and was tending to some pegasus. He was red with Blue and red hair. His tail was like mine and he had a compass rose for a cutie mark. Still passed out was a blue unicorn with purple and star cape and hat with a white mane. How'd these two hook up?
"Sup bro you okay?" I ask the friendly looking pegasus.
"Yeah I'll be alright. I was exhausted from carrying this mare and slept here unwillingly. Name's Ferote. Ferote Eerfreve." He tells us
"I'm Phoenix Flame. The pretty nurse taking care of you is Fluttershy." I say.
"Umm....hi...." She says smiling while hiding behind her mane then goes back to treating Ferote. I look over at the blue unicorn trying to figure out where I've seen her before. I remember her from SOMEWHERE but Luna help me I can't..TRIXIE!
"Um..Ferote?"
"Yeah..."
"Why were you carrying Trixie?"
"Oh so you know her. I thought someone here would know her. I was adventuring through the woods like I usually do. Seeing the sights, hearing sounds, all that enjoying nature stuff when I come across this nice little mare passed out under a tree. She looked like she had been beat up by a Manticore or something. I pick her up and put her on my back. I'm not actually a strong flier...I can fly myself but I cannot fly other ponies. This all explains why I was passed out in your backyard Fluttershy." Ferote explained.
"Wait. Why the quick assupmtion that it's her house?" I say just to throw him off.
"Well...You look like you enjoy flying Phoenix. Plus when deciding which cutie mark would lead to a ground life...Ms. Nurse here is more likely." Ferote says.
"Smart. I like smart guys...We're gonna get along great."

30 minutes later...
We had gotten Trixie situated on the couch and the Dark Couple decided to draw...
Dark Shy and Fluttershy were debating on methods of healing while Ferote was looking at some of the animals.
Then I got a beep on my special watch I finally started wearing. I looked at it and it said "Clear skies in Thirty minutes." I figure It shouldn't be hard so I grab Dark and White and get moving.
"Why do we have to come?" White and Dark complained.
"You two are a part of me...ergo WE have a job..besides at some point we're gonna fuse back so you're gonna have to deal with it anyway. Plus all we have to do is clear the clouds over ponyville. How hard could it be?"
After 10 minutes of walking with Dark and White we get to ponyville. Which was darker because of the clouds.
"What were you saying brainiac?"
"I was saying start kicking clouds so we can report to Rainbow Dash and see about our pay."
I fly up and kick a patch in the clouds and look to see something like a cloud ocean.
"Aw dude...There's no way we'll clear this fast." I say.
"What what about our cutie marks?" White asks
"What about them?" Dark asks harshly
"Well...Theoretically if our Mark is a fireball then that means we should have some sort of mastery over fire right?" White explained.
"Makes sense but how would we activate these powers?" I say while thinking.
Ok I have an idea. I motion for White and Dark to follow me and get them to gather firewood.Well I had to convince Dark to help...He asked me about some porno. Don't ask. We gather a bunch of dead twigs and leaves and get them into a hole.
"Ok, now If i'm correct..." I say while looking at the pile. I concentrate on the pile of leaves and think of anything involving heat. After I think of the sun, the pile burst into red and black flames as if someone threw a match in.
"Sweet! Lemme try. "Dark lit up a patch of grass with black and brown flames.
"Ok my turn." White went for distance and precision aiming at a leaf in the park fountain. After a couple of minutes the leaf turned into a floating blue and black fireball.
"Guys I have another idea. hug me right quick." I say. causing looks of confusion from Dark and White.
"I just trying something new!" I say making the look worse.
"Uh-huh. I don't swing like that...maybe some of those Canterlot stallions..."
"Fuck you Dark I'm just trying to see if I can increase my body heat. I need someone else to verify it. Perv."
"Ah. Ok."
We then proceed to brohug and I think about a fire in my body. a small one though. I feel warmer and I like it...I keep getting warmer and warmer until Dark jumps off of me.
"Dude...You're hot! No homo." Dark Said
"It's not really homo if it's with yourself." I say before squirming out of White's extended brohug.
"White...too long."
"That's what Luna said...."Dark said. He sounded like he missed her....I hope He's not gonna be stupid...
"Anyway..if we all share these abilities and clouds are made of water then we could just evaporate the clouds instead of going around kicking them." I say
"OK." Dark and White respond.
We all heat up glowing alittle and start flying. After 30 minutes of what would've been a good 3 or four hours of work...We were done. We started off towards home...when I thought about the date between Fluttershy and I.
"Shit....no money." I say glumly
"Check your watch maybe they give you your paycheck during that particular week." White says.
"I don't think....Wow...boys...We got bits." i say looking at my watch.
"Wow...Actually I just thought about it, I haven't taken Dark Shy out on a date yet." Dark says while thinking.
"We could go out together bro!" I say oddly excited about the idea."
"What about me? This means I get to hang out with Ferote and Trixie all night?" White complained
"Well I wasn't gonna leave them alone in Fluttershy's house. Besides...maybe you can chat with Ferote and you two can change Trixie alittle." I say with an air of seriousness.
"You care about Trixie? I've seen what you saw about her when you thought this place was just fantasy." White says
"Well...Yeah, I care. Obviously she wants to be noticed. She just needs some attention. Since I want to treat Shy to a nice night for taking care of us idiots, you get the first turn with Trixie." I say
"When Do I get a turn with her?" Dark asks with his trademark smile. If he has that smile he's planning something.
"Never. You're planning something and the last thing we need is to chase her away." I say glaring at Dark.
He does this saying "Ok bro I got ya."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
30 minutes later.....
We all show up to Fluttersy's house only to see Fluttershy is there.
"What's up Shy? Where's Trixie and Ferote?"
"Um...Ferote will be back...he wanted to explore the forest a little...Trixie however..." She took a pregnant pause here," She left talking about how she's not wanted if no one sees her as great."
"And that's bad how?" Dark said. He never was one for emotion.
"Trixie is known to be a braggart. She also talks in third person. wait...Was she talking in third person when she left....?" I ask Shy.
"Nope...is that a problem?"
"Big one. I'll go look for her...don't follow me. ANYONE>" I say looking at Dark Flare and White Fire. my flaming gaze told them 'he's serious about this'.
I shoot off just under the speed of sound wishing this could've happened another day.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile.....
Trixie was walking around the woods fighting a mental battle....she was losing.
"I know I'm good at Magic. Otherwise I couldn't have afforded that little stage in the first stage."
Not really if everyone up to that day in Ponyville was a bunch of easily amused foals
Trixie thought about that day when she failed to stop to the Ursa Minor those two star struck idiots brought to town.
"Those two only wanted to see if I could recreate what I had said."
No they wanted to set you up to be embarrassed by that Twilight Sparkle. But it's your fault anyway for lying about something you can't do anyway. Like actual magic tricks.
Trixie's eyes watered with rage.
"How DARE you! The Great and Powerful Trixie is and always will the best ever at magic. Do you want proof?"
How about taking away Twilight's magic.
Trixie gasped. Taking away a unicorn's magic is like lopping off a limb.
"I could NEVER do that you Psycho!" Trixie yelled at herself.
You are the depressed angry useless showmare who's argueing with herself in the woods.
This whole time her mother's voice rang in her head.
"Useless. Stupid. Good for nothing waste of SPACE!" Trixie yelled. Only this time she wasn't yelling at her mother's voice.
She was yelling at herself. She curled up into a ball and cried herself asleep despite it being mid afternoon. It's hard argueing with your self.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile....
"waste of SPACE!"
"What was that?" Phoenix said moving in the direction of the voice. He knew his great hearing would help him out here.
He landed and decided to walk to the source so he wouldn't overfly the target.
"Jeez it's quiet. I wish I had put Dark and White back instead of partying with them all week." Phoenix muttered to himself.
5 minutes of acute listening later he hears a soft snore followed by a whimper. He floats as fast as he can over to the sound not wanting to wake it up. He finds Trixie laying by a bush precariously close to some blue flowers.
"I hope those aren't poison joke. I have an idea of what they'd do to me but.....I'd rather not cement that idea. He tippy-hoofed over to Trixie to find her shaking and twitching in her sleep.
"Just like Fluttershy was doing before Hell week. I should ask Luna about this after I put the Dark couple and White Fire back." PHoenix said while carefully and slowly lifting Trixie onto his back. She gave a slight moan of pleasure once she was totally on. Not a moan of pleasure, but one of happiness. He turned around to see her smiling in her sleep.
"If I wasn't with Fluttershy maybe I could get with you...." Phoenix said while starting the long walk back to the cottage. Would you fly with a sleeping mare on your back? Probably if you were like Dark Flare. But he's the asshole of me.
1 and a half hours later......
I finally make it to Fluttershy's house. and man was I tired....Flying is easy but hiking is a WHOLE nother thing! I approached by Ferote suddenly from....the sky? I didn;t even think he could fly! I guees that's I get for assuming pegasi with ground based marks can't fly. but then again his mark is just a compass...cue mental facehoof.
"Hey Phoenix...found her again?" he says
"How'd you know she was gone?"
"I came back shortly after you left. After a small discussion about what to do I calmed Fluttershy and this pony called Dark Flare down. I decided to go for a hike to chill out because Dark Flare is kind of an asshole." Ferote said.
"Well I could've told you that without even having to introduce you."
Ferote laughed.
We walk into the house and before Dark and White can yell I facehoof them. hard.
"ow. what the hell Phoenix?" Dark Flare whispered angrily.
"what was that for?" White fire complained at Nervous Fluttershy Volume.
"You just did whatI asked without me saying it." I say quietly with a smug smile."Where's Shy?"
"She's upstairs bathing." Answered Dark.
"Where's Dark Shy?" I asked.
"Bathing he said as his wings slowly unfurled.
"You could said incapacitated you idiot." Ferote said.
"Well I know what I'm getting into plus...self control beeyatches." I whisper loudly.
"Ok now i'mma set Trixie on Fluttershy's bed and see about a date. I got bits to blow and I'mma blow 'em on Shy."
"What are you gonna blow on me....if you don;t mind answering..." I shouldn't have to say who, you should know.
"Oh...I was gonna set up Trixie in your bed and ask you if you wanted to g-g-g-g-g-g...." damn it, I thought I was could handle that"g-g-g-g*SMACK! Ow. Thanks Dark! Where was I? Oh yeah. You. Me. Fancy restaurant. Tonight. Wanna go?"
"Um...sure....If you-"
"Don't mind of of course just let me take Trixie upstairs."
"uh..ok."
I get Trixie upstairs and tuck her in. After I tuck her in she squirms a little then sighs with content. It was SOOOO cute! Why couldn't we have this Trixie huh? I find a stuffed animal and get her to hug it ensuring a good sleep. Then I darted downstair to get Fluttershy so we could go our date. It wasn't until I got to Fluttershy that I realized.....My first. Date. EVER. Oh Luna, why do act without thinking"
I will progress this story from the Troll chapter but expect to see something like this soon. I kinda like this and wouldn't want it to go to waste. Also if you like this join 'Phoenix's Club of Awesome' to pitch idea or submit artwork or Just Talk! Oh yeah. You guys know what Ferote looks like right? Try to guess which profile he's based off of. That's all I gotta tell yall tonight.
