Where....am I?
Chapter 3: The Next Day
Previous Chapter Next ChapterAuthor Note: I figure I should Tell you how this thing runs between me, Dark Flare, and White Fire.
When Dark Flare Talks, it looks like this.
When White Fire talks it looks like this.
When I talk it looks like this
When We all talk in unison It looks like this
I'm Sure you get it now. TO the Story!
I woke up to the sound of my head getting thumped repeatedly by something soft.
"Nuuuuaaagh.."I say sleepily. I was never the morning person. The thumping continues...
"Nuuuaagh...come on, five more minutes baby..." Yup not even close to awake....
I'm left alone for five minutes only to get a bucket of water throw at my face. I know this because when I woke up I slammed into the bucket.
"Oowww, okay who the fu...Oh you must be hungry huh Angel?" The bunny smiles.
"Well can you show where you food and bowl is?" The bunny motions for me to follow and hops away.
He takes me to a cabinet and points to it. I open the cabinet and grab one of the open bags of rabbit food. We then go to his bowl which I fill up. He gives a mock salute and starts eating. He's kinda cute...when he isn't working your nerves...
I think Fluttershy is still asleep, what do I do?
Go into town, you'll meet up with her later.
No wake her up...you'll fit in better if you have her around
Leave the bitch alone we can't assume she's had a good night's rest.
But she still wanted to show around today...I'm waking her up.
I go upstairs and start peeking through doors trying to find Fluttershy. She has enough rooms to house a family.... Wait what am I thinking?
what ARE you thinking?
"Shut it you two." I blurt out without thinking.
I finally find Fluttershy after peeking into 5 rooms. She's shaking and eeping in that cute little fashion.
Wake her up! She's having a nightmare!
No shit, Sherlock. Dark an I respond without missing a beat.
I decide to wake her up because of two things... I really need a job so I can get on own two feet, and second, as cute as she looks..Shy's starting to sweat which means she's thinking her dream is real.
I give a couple of taps...Nothing.
I push hard a couple of times....Small change in movement.
Time for the little kid method.
Ready guys?
Ready!
We all link up , which gives us more power and endurance...but most important to this situation, a really loud voice.
We jump on her bed repeatedly yelling "Canwegonow?canwegonow?Canwegonow?" at a pinkie like speed. Which snaps her awake...with a pipe in her hand? uh oh.
(Quick note:*these represent sound effects. back to the story.)
*ding
"Ow!" We say rubbing the hornlike bulge on our head.
"Sorry, I'm Sooo Sorry, Sometimes my nightmares come to life, I'm Sooo Sorry, /here let me take care of that!" Fluttershy said quickly while running for her first aid kit.
Still think this was a good idea?
BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What's so fucking funny?
Um...Dark Flare? Your head?
Awww shit! Phoenix this is your fault!
It actually fits nicely, hmhmhmhm
You got one too, White!BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!
Derr?awww. Let's break the link before he does something stupid
I agree.
Hey!
My body shines a little then I go back to normal. Just then Fluttershy comes in the room with her icepacks and a bandage. Wait a bandage? why would she need that?
"I'm going to have to cut that bump...sorry."Fluttershy says sadly while pulling an emo razor out of her drawer.
Why the hell does she have an emo razor in here?
I dunno, lemme ask that darker version of herself over there.
Just then I noticed there a pony who black with a red mane that looked just like Fluttershy. I guess everyone has a dark side...
Five minutes later....
We're walking to Ponyville, while I make use of my ability to have two conversations at once.
"So how'd you get your cutie mark, Shy?"
She goes into this long story about how this other pegasus named Rainbow Dash Helped her get her cutie. It sounded like there was more but She looked so nice and timid, I didn't push it.
It turns out like once a year for a week, all the mares world over go crazy trying to find a mate. Dark Shy over there takes over so Fluttershy can rest during that week. I kinda like Dark Shy...
But you always like dark and creepy stuff..
Yeah you even tried to get to stay in that forest.
I noticed Shy had stopped talking...so I asked about some of the ponies we're gonna meet.
"There's Applejack, she helps run Sweet Apple Acres"
"That's that apple orchard on the edge of town right?"
"Yep, there's Rainbow Dash, She the weather pony of Ponyville"
"That's nice. Sounds like a cool job."
"There's Rarity, she run the Carousel Boutique."
"Sounds Exquisite Darling." I said trying to sound fancy. I succeeded in sounding like a male Rarity which made Shy Laugh.
"There's Pinkie Pie, She helps run the Sugarcube Corner. She's also gonna throw you a party when she see you."
"Good I like parties."
Bout to get drunk and laid up in this bitch
No, we bout to get bucked up and laid up in this bitch.
Quiet!
"And Finally Twilight, She runs the town library with her assistant, Spike."
BORING
Shut the buck up!
"I hope she has a large selection of books."
"She does."
By now we reach Ponyville. Either we walked really slow or Fluttershy lives farther away from town than I thought.
It's the first one
So we go through the process of meeting everyone starting with Twilight.
But we run into a certain pink mare....
"OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!ANEWPONYINTOWNWHAT'SYOURNAMEI'MPINKIEPIENICETOMEETYOUDOYOULI-" I put my hoof to her mouth to end her barrage of speedy words.
"Can ya slow down? I can barely understand you, By the way I do like parties. You throwin one today?" I said still holding my hoof to her lips
"Um..you sure you wanna ask that?" Said Fluttershy cautiously.
Pinkie then jumped up talking about party plans and decorations then burst off leaving a trail of dust.
"I think she might be faster than Rainbow Dash." Said Fluttershy.
Maybe
Possibly
We're gonna learn from her.
We get to the library without anymore trouble.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
wait if this is a public library why did we fucking knock?
Because it's still someones home.
Whatever, we're goin in.
My hand then opens the door while my legs carry me through the doorway. Fluttershy follows.
We enter a room lined with bookshelves each with about fifteen shelve up. Each bookshelf, FULL of books. with exception to the ones around a desk making a fort of somekind. a glowing purple horn pokes over the top.
"Um...Twilight...Are you busy...?"
No response...
"...Twilight?"
Still no response. Suddenly we hear a crash.
Here we go..
Not again..
"what was that!?" I asked frantically
"Oh it's just Rainbow Dash crashing through my window again." Said Twilight nonchalantly.
Finally!
Fluttershy and I walk to where Rainbow landed to see if she was ok.
"You ok, that crash looked like it hurt..." I told Rainbow.
"Nah it's cool. I crash through here all the time. It doesn't even hurt!" She said with an air of arrogance.
"You sure you're ok?" asked Fluttershy with concern.
"Yeah, I'm ok. Who dat?" Rainbow Dash asked while shaking the glass off of her.
"Oh I'm Phoenix Flame! I'm new here in Ponyville. I'm goin around meeting the residents while job hunting."
Oh well good for you... Hey Twilight you got this? She said while pointing at eh mess.
"Yeah, yeah, I got it." Twilight said with annoyance.
Twilight's horn then glowed along with a broom a dust pan and a replacement window. I recognized it as plexiglass.
That's gonna be a good one to see later
I concur.
Yep
"So who is this?" asked Twilight. She must have really been into that book.
I checked out the title while the mares stood around talking.
Ways to Tell if it's Mating Season: How to get That Stallion Before the Others
Uh oh, this is what Dark Shy was talking about. I think she said it starts in about 2 to 3 days
So we got 2 days minus work hours and sleep to find a good hiding spot for this?
Yep.
We're fucked
Actually, Phoenix would be the one fucked, we'd just be forced to watch.
But still, do you really wanna watch a part of us get raped?
No Just sayin
Whatever, for now we're safe so let's go on like we don't know about it.
"So anyone know of any good jobs while there's daylight." I said, it's only 1 in the afternoon, but I burn time fast. Get it...You probably don't.
"Well Applejack needs some help apple-bucking." Said Twilight.
"Uh..." I don't have the cleanest of minds
"It's when you hit a tree to knock down the apples" Said Rainbow Seein the same thing I'm seein.
"Ah, anything else?"
"Well Rarity has been looking for a Stallion to model her clothes." said Fluttershy quietly.
"I'd rather not do that..." I had read about how long that shit takes and also about she pricks you constantly. No. Thank you.
"I lead a squad of weather ponies and we need another pony to fill for one of our members.He's moving away." Said Rainbow.
"I think I can do that. Any Place else in case?"
"I heard Aloe and Lotus have an opening for a Masseuse." Said Twilight.
"I like that. Don't we got other ponies to meet Fluttershy? I said because now it was 1:25.
"Oh Sure, I guess we can go meet Applejack...if she's not busy of course..." Said Fluttershy. Aw man She's cute when she does that.
"Ok then let's go." I said hoping I didn't blush.
"Bye Rainbow Dash, Bye Twilight!" We said in Unison as we left. I swear I somepony say something like "those too are cute together".
After I convince Fluttershy to fly we Make it to Sweet Apple Acres in about 10 minutes. AS we Land I See a big red Pony sittin in the Shade. Looks like a stallion.
"Hey there Fluttershy." Said the Stallion, who stood up. He was bigger than me but nice.
"Oh...um...hi there...Macintosh..." Said Fluttershy.
I noticed She Blushed while she was greeting him. Not really hard to notice red on yellow though. For some reason I was mad though.
You like her admit it
Fuck up Dark
You do show the signs
Shut it White. Not the time for this
"Hi there, I'm Phoenix Flame." I say to the Stallion before we have an awkward silence.
"Hello. Big Macintosh is ma name. But erybody calls me Big Mac." Says The Stallion.
We shake hands.
"You know where Applejack is? I ask.
"Ah think she's at Rarity's helpin her wit sumpin." He says
"Thanks, prepare yourself." I saw pulling him into whisper the second part.
"No problem. See ya!" Mac said throwin me a knowing wink. We're gonna get along just fine.
I tell Fluttershy to go home because she looks tired and frankly, I wanted to look for some supreme hiding spots.
I fly to a building which is fancy looking and has a carousel on top. Yep. Definitely Rarity's spot.
I walk in without knocking to hear what sounds like singing. I go to investigate to see A white pony with a purple mane, dominated with curls, glasses and 3 beautiful diamonds adorning her cutie mark space. She's working on a dress with an orange pony with a yellow mane, 2 rubber bands tying off her mane and tail. I see she has 3 apples for a cutie mark and a cowboy hat? They both notice me so I start up a conversation.
"Hey there. I'm new here. Name's Phoenix. Just walkin around meeting the folks and I heard about this place."
"Howdy, Ah'm AppleJack." Said the orange one.
"I'm Rarity Darling." Said the white one.'
The white one started eying me ruthlessly like she wanted info of some sort. I guess she doesn't like my tribute to Goku Hair.
"Ok..I gottta go. Bye" I say darting out of the store before I get a surprise makeover.
I fly to the park, since I hear that's one of Rainbow Dash's favorite practice spots. I watch for awhile until she notices me sittin in a tree.
"Hey Phoenix whacha doin here?" She asked happily. She must've had a good run.
"Hey I wanted to see what I had to do to get that Weather pony job." I told her.
"Just go talk the Mayor. If you tell I sent you, You'll get the job no problem."
"Ok I'll do that now." by now it was four.
I flew over to town hall, which I guessed was the building with the gavel for a sign. at the front desk a receptionist sat looking at the Ponyville version of Reddit. Dam, it's influence breaches worlds. I interrupt her long enough for her to tell me the Mayor's available now and where her office is.
I walk down a long hallway to the end where I see a door with an extravagant sign saying MAYOR. What? I can be chill and still have a large vocabulary.
I knock to hear "come in" and walk inside. The mayor was seated at her desk looking at Reddit too.
"So what do you need good sir?" asked the mayor.
"I'm looking for a job as a weather pony. Rainbow Dash sen-"
"RAINBOW SENT YOU HERE! You must be good. Here!" I was handed a special watch.
"That will tell when you have to work and what's scheduled for the day. You start under Rainbow tomorrow at noon."
"Thanks, Mayor." I said gratefully and surprised. I didn't think she meant THAT easy.
I left City Hall to strategize for what I've dubbed...MASSIVE INVOLUNTARY HAPPY TIME. I'll think of a better name later.
That pretty much took up the rest of the day. Since Ponyville is a nice place, I decided to sleep under the stars. I went to the park, found Couple of trees just set up for sleeping ponies and fell asleep instantly.
You really his ideas'll work?
I dunno. Worst case we link up and use the speed burst to get away.
I don't know White Fire. I don't feel comfortable jumping in the line of fire.
You're the strongest of our psyches Dark Flare. If i Just link up with him it won't be enough to deal with the problem.
I'll think about it White...Just go to sleep. You know Phoenix can't sleep if we stay up talking
What yall think so far. Any ideas? I want this thing to go on for awhlie so I want to maybe I'm putting out my quality crap, nit just average, five minute crap.
