“So are you good now?” Twilight asked Jed as he paced back and forth. Everyone had left to do their duties and jobs while Twilight was left to look after the two humans and help them get on their hooves- er... Feet.
“Yep.” He replied in a monotone voice.
“Then why are you pacing?” Twilight asked.
“Helps relieve stress... Usually, I would draw in my sketch pad, but I don’t have that with me. I left it in Mark’s car.” Jed said stopping for a moment. “Where is his car anyway?”
There was some muffled music in the background, coming from the outside. “Ah... That would be his car.” Jed said facepalming. He dragged his hand down his face before he walked to the door and opened it up to see the cheverly had attracted quite the crowd. “Son of a bitch, this just can’t be easy can it?”
The music the car was blaring out was attracting lots of attention to Mark, but thank god for tinted windows. And he was also ignoring a lot of the ponies outside the car, cause why the fuck not? Jed sighed and looked inside to Twilight, who just shrugged. He rolled his eyes and took a small breath before walking out towards the car and tapping on the window, trying to not pay attention to the hundreds of eyes that were staring at him like he had grown a second head.
“Yo! Marky open up!” Jed said as he tapped on the window.
“Hmm?” Mark said as he rolled down the window, and blasted music. The first thing Jed did was reach in and turn the overbearing volume of the music down and said.
“Unlock the back, so I can grab my art supplies.”
“Right...” Mark said and reached for a button to unlock the back door of the car. There was a small pop and the back doors were unlocked. “There we go.”
“Thank ya kindly.” Jed said as he pulled himself out of the car window and to the back door of the car. He opened up the door before grabbing his computer bag and a small knapsack with all of his art supplies in it, including his sketch pad, pencils, and colors. He threw his Knapsack over his shoulder. while he carried the computer bag in his left hand. With a small hum he smiled at having his drawing supplies around. He never went anywhere without it. ‘Better to have it around when I get an idea than later when it gets all morphed in my mind.’ He thought as he walked back to the library.
“Huh.... Oh yeah they have electricity here.”
“Yeah. Didn’t you notice the phone in Twilight’s house? Or the light switch?” Jed said snickering as he walked back to the treehouse.
“NO! I DID NOT!” Mark yelled out. “Anyhow! I’m taking the chevy out for a spin!”
“Don’t crash!” Jed said waving his hand behind him as he entered the house and closed the door. After around five minutes Mark came back carrying a giant computer in his arms.
“God damn this thing weighs!”
“Told you not to bring it, wait a minute aren't you going for a ri- nevermind my brain will just hurt if you tell me.” Jed said shrugging as he walked over to the couch and sat next to Twilight. He pulled out his sketch pad and a pencil while Mark just put the computer down and was on his way to go pick up the rest of his equipment, when Twilight saw the overly power, and expensive, computer Jed could hear her jaw nearly snap at the hinges as it dropped. With a bored expression, he used one hand to close her mouth while he continued to simply sketch a drawing of what he was looking at a moment ago.
“Please try not to drool. I’d like to not have to buy a new sketch pad.” Jed said as he never took his eyes off of his drawing. Twilight shook her head and gave a small scowl to Jed before looking back to the computer and staring at it intently.
“What in Celestia’s name is that?” She muttered as she continued to examine the computer from her spot on the couch.
“It’s computer.” Jed said as he drew a few lines. Twilight rolled her eyes and walked over to the computer as she began to examine every little detail about it. “Seriously it’s just a high tech computer. Nothing special.”
“Yeahyeahyeahyeah, just hush up for a second.” Twilight said waving a hand at Jed. “This is intriguing. The computers we have now are not as advanced as this.”
Mark just walked in again with a keyboard under one arm and a twenty four inch screen under the other, although it was kinda slipping. “Shit, shit... Shiiiiiiiii....”
“Prop your elbow.” Jed said as he drew a line on his pad. Mark adjusted his grip on the monitor for a moment before it stopped slipping.
“Haha!” Mark said victoriously as he walked over to his computer and put everything down, he also took out a mouse from his pocket with a mouse pad from his other.
“Maybe you shouldn’t have that on the living room table.” Jed said as he looked up from his pad for a second.
Mark just then quickly moved everything down on the floor. “That’s even worse.” Jed said deadpanning.
“Well, where do you suggest I put them?” Mark asked.
“Ask Twilight for a room with a desk maybe? THAT might work!” Jed said with a big smile on his face.
“Fuck you.” Mark said before looking at Twilight, who was still kinda drooling over his computer. “See what you like miss?”
“Huh wha?” Twilight said as she snapped out of her trance.
“Not bad eh?” Mark said gently tapping his computer.
“Humph. Showing off again. How rude.” Jed said in a posh accent before snickering to himself. “I make myself chuckle.”
“You suck.” Mark said.
“Okay, just because I am bi, doesn’t mean you can insult me like that.” Jed deadpanned. Then he tossed his pad over to Mark. “Tell, does that look about right?”
Mark just picked it up and looked at Jed's drawing pad. “The fuck is this?”
“I dunno. I sketched the closest thing next to me.” Jed said shrugging.
“It’s incredible accurate, I must say that.” Mark said, looking up from the sketch pad and at Twilight. “Wow.... Well, the bottocks part is just a bit off.”
“Really?” Jed said getting up and walking over. “I thought I got everything good.”
Mark just started pointing to the area and began to critique. “You see, its not as..... Formed or shapely... It’s like you didn’t even look there.”
“Oh come on dude, I’m an artist! I look at everything!” Jed said as he took back the sketch pad and looked from it. To Twilight. Then back to the pad. Then back to Twilight. And finally back to the pad. “Oh... I didn’t look there. Thanks!”
With that he went back to the couch and sat down before doing a bit of erasing and re-sketching. Twilight just blinked confused for a moment before saying. “What are you two talking about?”
“This...” Jed said as he turned the the sketch pad around with the fixed ‘Mistake’ and showed Twilight. She instantly went crimson in the face as she saw what Jed and Mark were talking about. She looked from Mark to Jed, both of which were simply sitting there confused. “What’s with the blush?”
“I~ Gotta go! Don’t mess up the place while I am gone!” She said quickly and running out of the building. Jed blinked before shrugging.
“Okay dokie.” Jed said going back to his picture. “... Now what do I draw? There’s nothing interesting in here! Just books, books, and more books!”
“Well.... Why don’t you..... Go out and..... Explore then.... Ye fucking cunt.” Mark deadpanned.
“What is with you and swearing lately?” Jed asked as he packed up his knapsack and stood up.
“I’m bored.... Or broed.... Your choice....” Mark said, as he walked towards the front door.
“Oh yeah... Like that power outage. Didn’t know you could use the word ‘Fuck’ that many times in a sentence.” Jed said as he walked to the front door and walked out as he just chose some random direction to walk in. “Welp, I am off to mingle with the public and probably get myself in trouble. See ya on the gallows.”
“Sure...” Mark said walking over to the Camaro and picking up his guitar, then walking backing inside, before coming out again with some keys. He then closed the trunk, walk up to the shotgun seat opening the door, putting the guitar in the front seat walking around the car and getting in the driver seat before driving away to some random part of town.
[-------------]
(Let’s follow Jed for now)
Jed walked around town looking at all the random sites and many ponies that he passed. Mostly getting strange stares, he didn’t do much other than smile and wave occasionally. As he was walking around he heard the sound of wings flapping. He blinked and looked behind him and then in front of him before he remembered. ‘Oh right... Wings. Look up ya freaking derp.’ He thought as he looked up.
Mistake on his part.
As he looked up he was pummeled by a flash of grey and golden. Be he knew what was going on, he and whatever hit him were sent tumbling down the street and came to a stop with Jed flat on his back and something laying on top of him. He groaned and and opened his eyes to see lots grey fur. That’s when he heard a voice.
“Oh my gosh! I am so sorry! Wait... What are you?” He heard a sweet and happy voice say. He blinked a bit before realizing he couldn’t really breathe all that well. “Hellooo? Are you there?”
“Can’t.... Breathe!” He gasped/mumbled out of whatever was holding him down.
“Oh! Whoops!” He heard the voice say before he felt someone pull up and shift so that whoever or whatever was on top of him was now sitting on his stomach. He let in a gasp of air and looked up as he filled his lungs with the sweet life giving oxygen. “Better now?”
“Yeah...” Jed said as he coughed a bit and looked at who was sitting or standing in front of him. He blinked as he saw another mare with grey fur, a blond mane, and golden eyes that seemed to look off in different directions. She was wearing, what he assumed was, a postal outfit, that complimented her body rather well, and had a large bag of mail next to her confirming his theory. He also noticed that the pressure that was on his stomach was in fact this random mare.
He also noticed that if she was the thing that landed on him. And she just lifted off of him. That meant... His face instantly went crimson. ‘Suffocation by boobs... Not the worst way to go.’ He thought as his blush began to fade.
“Uum... Can you get off of me?” Jed asked making the mare blush and quickly hop off of him and hold out a hand for him to pull himself up with. He gladly accepted the gesture and pulled himself up as he began to dust himself off.
“Okay, I am so sorry mister! I didn’t mean to-” The mare began.
“Hey it’s okay! I have been hit with a car before. That was nothing compared to that.” Jed said waving a hand. Then he held out his hand and smiled. “The name is Jed by the way.”
“Derpy Hooves!” She said smiling as well and shaking his hand. “Well I am sorry to crash and fly, but I have to get going!”
“No problem. Nice ‘meeting’ you Miss Hooves.” Jed said as she chuckled and took flight. He waved as she left and looked around where he was. He blinked as she had no clue where he was. He shrugged and saw a store with a double whole note on the sign. He blinked again and sighed as he had nothing better to do.
He walked over and into the store as it gave a small ‘Wub’ announcing that he had entered. It looked like any music store you would find, only this place had everything. Guitars, drums, amps, music CDs, you name a modern instrument or musical type, this place probably had it. Plus the nice dubstep song playing through the speakers wasn’t half bad and made the atmosphere even better.
“Welcome to ‘The Drop’! The finest music store in Ponyvi-... Oh cool!” Jed heard as someone run up behind him and spun him around, making him dizzy as hell. When his vision stopped spinning, he saw a snow white unicorn mare, a bit shorter than him, with electric blue hair that was double toned and seemed to stick out everywhere. She was wearing a light grey hoodie with a set of, again lighting blue, jeans and solid black fingerless gloves. One thing that struck him as odd, was the fact that this mare was wearing a set of large black rimmed and purple lensed goggles.
“You must be that thing that came out of Twilight’s house!” She said. ‘Thing? Ouch.’ “Lots of ponies thought you and your friend were scary or something. You seem harmless to me!”
“Well thanks for securing my masculinity.” Jed said rolling his eyes which made the mare giggle. “The name’s Jed by the way. Me and my friend are Humans incase you are wondering.”
“Vinyl Scratch’s the name! Selling and creating music is my game!” She said giving Jed a thumbs up and a smile. Jed chuckled this time and nodded.
“Nice you to meet ya, Miss Scratch.” He said smiling as well. Vinyl just frowned and gave him a punch to the arm. “Ow! What I do?”
“Don’t call me ‘Miss’! I don’t like it.” She said before chuckling. “Call me Vinyl, Scratch, or DJ, but never ever miss.”
“Well alright then.” Jed said rubbing his arm and chuckling with her. Soon they talked about their hobbies and such, which mostly revolved around Jed’s drawing and Vinyl’s music. When Vinyl asked about Jed’s music from his world, he pulled out his phone and went to the music menu. Before either of them knew it, the store’s open sign was turned to say closed and they were rocking out to some Skrillex and Deadmau5.
“These guys are amazing!” Vinyl said as the beats ended. Jed smiled widely as the song ended, but the smile fell when he saw Vinyl got a wicked smile. “Say... Do you like doing dares?”
“Depends on the dare. Humiliation or just plain stupid type of dare?” Jed asked.
“Humiliation.” Vinyl said. Jed nodded and chuckled.
“Alright... Fine. What’s the dare?” He asked.
“I get to pick a song from your list of music here.” She began. ‘Okay doesn’t seem so bad.’ “And you have to dance to it in the middle of town square.” ‘Aaaaaaaaaaand there it is.’
“Hmmm....” Jed thought about it.
“And to make things interesting, if you do the whole song, I will give you a new set of headphones.” Vinyl said holding out her hand. “And if you chicken out, I get to swipe this phone MP3 thing for a week to listen to the music on it for inspiration. Deal?
“When did this turn into a bet?” Jed asked smiling.
“Just now furless, now you up to it or not?” She asked. Jed thought about it for a moment.
“A good set of headphones?” He asked.
“I’ll even get the ones that are damn near indestructible and have the best sound quality.” She said grinning wickedly. “And you have to truly dance. None of that swaying from side to side stuff.”
“Okay... You’re on!” Jed said grabbing her hand and shaking it up and down. “And Furless? Seriously?”
“It’s your new nickname, Furless.” She said poking his side. He poked her back and said.
“Alright Goggles.” He said snickering.
[-------------]
Everyone was walking around when suddenly Vinyl wheeled in one of her massive amps and the human that everyone had seen walking around town walked over and climbed onto a table before he stretched his arms out and rolled his neck.
Vinyl pulled out a microphone and said. “Everyone! Get over here and watch Ponyville’s newest human resident dance his flank off to one of his songs from home!”
Jed shook his head and began to regret the decision of taking this bet. He now had a good crowd of at least thirty random ponies and he shook his head to clear the thoughts before he heard the opening to a song that he knew by heart. At that moment, he would win, and oh so sweet the glory of the victory would be.
As the song’s beats began to play he grinned widely and casted a wicked glance at Vinyl which made her turn pale again. With that he immediately began to dance.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIZJAXDFz4g
As the song ended he crossed his arms and turned to Vinyl Scratch before shouting out the last line of the song. “THANK YOU DJ!”
Everyone in the crowd was silent and Jed saw a few jaws drop as he jumped off of the table and walked up to Vinyl. As he hit the ground everyone began to clap and cheer in approval. “Now about those headphones.” He said smiling wryly.
“You bastard! You tricked me!” She shouted smiling as she punched his arm and handed him back his phone. “You knew I would pick that song didn’t you!?”
“Actually no! It’s just that one song is the only song on my phone that I will willingly dance to, no matter who is watching.” Jed said laughing. Vinyl just sighed and began to push the amp back to her place. Jed walked up next to her and pushed it with her making it go faster. Vinyl just shook her head and thanked him.
As they got back to the shop, Vinyl pushed the amp back into place and then went into the back of the shop. She gave him the ‘One moment please’ gesture and disappeared. Jed just sighed and grabbed his knapsack which he left here while he would make a fool of himself. He pulled out his sketch pad and began to draw on it with a pencil he pulled out of the bag.
After a few minutes, Vinyl came back with Jed’s new headphones in her hand. She stopped as she saw him sketching and walked up slowly and quietly as she could. She walked over to the side of him and saw what he was sketching and immediately blushed. She cleared her throat and watched as he stopped and looked up to see her.
“Oh hello!” He said smiling.
“Hey, I, uh, got your headphones.” She said trying to hide her blush. Jed smiled and stood up as he held the sketch pad in his hands.
“Really? Awesome!” He said happily. She handed him a set of over-the-ear headphones with a double note on one side which was gold. The headphones themselves were solid black and the cushioned inside was a metallic purple. “Oh my god these are freaking awesome Vinyl! Thanks!”
He hugged the mare which caused her to gasp at the sudden contact before she smiled and hugged back. “Well you earned’em, Furless.” She said snickering.
“Yeah yeah... Thanks again though...” He said smiling. He then put the headphones around his neck and began to put his stuff away.
“Hey...” Vinyl began. “Can I, uh, see what you drew?”
“Hmm? Oh yeah sure!” He said pulling the sketch pad out again and hand it to Vinyl. She blushed again as she saw what he drew. “Ya like it?”
“Like it?” She began as she looked up and smiled. “I think this is awesome! You drew this while I was in the back?”
“Yeah, but that is just a sketch. You can have it if you want.” Jed said shrugging as he grabbed the picture and was about to tear it out before he snapped his fingers and pulled out his phone. He took a quick picture of the sketch and then tore it out before handing it to Vinyl. “Sorry, I like to remember what I’ve drawn, even if I give it away.”
“Believe me, I know what you mean.” Vinyl said chuckling as she looked over the photo. Jed patted her on the back and walked to the entrance of the store.
“See ya later Vinyl!” Jed said as he walked to the door.
“Huh?... Oh wait!” Vinyl said as she ran over and slid to a stop.
“Yeah?” Jed asked with his hand on the door.
“I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out again?” She said.
“Are you kidding? Of course I do! You’re one of the first ponies to warm up to me. And you gave me a sweet set of headphones.” Jed said smiling. “Of course we are going to hang out again. In fact if you need me, I’m stuck at Twilight’s house until everything gets sorted out.”
“Alright! Um... See ya later then!” She said as Jed walked out of the store and down the street.
“Bye Goggles!” He shouted back receiving an angry huff in return which made him snicker.
“Today was a good day.” Jed said as he put the headphones onto his head and plugged them into his phone before starting some tunes. And nearly having a musicgasm right there due to the headphones. ‘Vinyl wasn’t lying. These headphones are fucking amazing.’
[-------------]
(Now to follow Mark!)
As Mark was driving down the road, he was sitting there with a small smile, and enjoying the scenery around him. He drove for what like a few more minutes before a raccoon just ran in front of the car, and unfortunately for Mark he could not steer away or break in time, so he hit the poor thing. “Why god?!”
He cringed at the sound of the bumping and the visible blood on the windshield. He rolled a few more meters before stopping and muttering to himself. “Please be a cat, please be a cat, please be a cat.”
He then spared a glance in the back view mirror and saw that it was a raccoon. “Oh its a raccoon.... Close enough....” Mark muttered out as he looked in the rear view mirror, and noticed that.... Well everything was everywhere. “OH GOD! WHY?!”
“Oh.... Oh... Oh man, oh come on really?” Mark complained. “Its everywhere..... Why god?”
Mark just stayed in the car and looked at the the dead raccoon, he almost vomited from the sight, but managed to hold it in. ‘What do?’ he thought as he looked suspiciously... You can say the suspicion he was giving off was too damn high.
He started backing up with the car, but he did it a bit too fast so he almost hit the dead raccoon again, he then stopped got out and reluctantly picked up the corpse. “Why god? Why? Why...”
Mark looked around and spotted a nearby forest and ran into it, after maybe a good thirty second run into it, he found a small ditch and threw the raccoon into it, he then looked at his blood soaked hands and shuddered, he looked around and found a stream of water and started to clean himself up. Whilst he was doing this he started to sob, but only shed three tears.
“Why god? Why did you do this? What have I done to deserve this?” Mark asked as he scrubbed himself clean. After a few minutes of scrubbing he returned to his car, and got in, then started to drive away when he realized something.
“It’s just a damn raccoon, it eats out of garbage. Why the fuck did I panic? Why did I even care in the first place?! WHY GOD?!” Mark yelled out in the car as he drove back to town, after a short while, he arrived back and heard some loud music be playin’. As he pulled up into the Town Square, he saw one of the most foolish and slightly humorous sights he could have ever seen. It was Jed dancing on a table for a crowd while the song ‘DJ got us falling in love again’ was playing.
The first thing that came to mind was “LOL NOPE.” before Mark slammed the pedal to the medal, turned the car around and drove out of town. He kept driving down the same road for about five minutes before he saw a giant apple orchard, which belonged to the apple family apparently. Since he was looking for a place to chill he parked right outside the orchard, and then exited the car. He also grabbed his guitar and ventured into the Orchard.
After half a minute or so he sat down under a apple tree, and chilled, before starting to play his guitar, he played one particular tune, which have been stuck in his head for quite some time.
As he started out playing, he played a few notes before starting to sing.
“All our times have come.”
He then played some more notes before continuing.
“Here but now they are gone. Seasons don't fear the reaper. Nor do the wind, the sun or the rain.”
He continued singing for a little while before he stopped at the sound of someone walking over to him through the brush.
“Who is out ‘ere in the fields?!” A southern voice said as a orange pony, with no wings nor horn, came out of the brush and looked directly at Mark. “Oh... It’s just you.”
“Afternoon miss.” Mark said as he tipped his cap.
“Well nice to see you too, Mark.” The orange pony said.
“I see you got my name, would only be polite to ask for yours.” Mark said, with a gentle smile.
“Well, ah am Applejack. I was back at the library when you woke up. Guess ah forgot to introduce myself.” Applejack said.
“Ah.... Its okay miss, everyone makes mistakes.” Mark said politely.
“You... Are a bit more polite than what I remember.” Applejack said narrowing her eyes.
“Well, not everyone is what one seems.” Mark said,
“You were yelling profanities at the top of your lungs and insulting your friend.” Applejack deadpanned.
“Eh, he’s used to it, we have known each other for like, what? Ten years.”
“And you’re how old?” Applejack said.
“Twenty two.” Mark replied simply.
“So you met’em when you were twelve?” Applejack asked.
“Yep. I still remember the day.” Mark said as he leaned his head back.
[-------------]
(Flashback)
Two kids walked down the hall until they bumped into each other.
“Fuck you!” One said.
“Fuck you too dude!” The other replied. They had a glaring contest for about ten minutes then the first kid said.
“Sooo... What’s your next class?”
“Oh, I have science.” The second said slumping a bit.
“That blows, I have P.E.”
“Lucky.”
[-------------]
(Back to the present)
“And that is how you met?” Applejack asked.
“Don’t judge me! Or us....” Mark said. “Humans are weird that way.”
“... I believe yah.” Applejack said shaking her head and chuckling. “So what are you doing out here in mah family’s orchard?”
“Just chillin’... If you don’t mind me doing that...” Mark said.
“Well as long as you don’t go taking any apples, you’re free to ‘chill’ here. In all honesty I don’t mind if you even climb up and sleep in the trees, just as long as you don’t go and do nuthin’ stupid.” Applejack said snickering.
“Don’t worry, Ma’am. I will behave.” Mark said nodding at her.
“Alright and just call me Applejack. You ain’t a foal in trouble.” She said as she laughed and walked away.
“Alright, Applejack! I’ll see you around!” Mark yelled after her.
“See ya Mark! Don’t go and get yourself in a jam aight?” Applejack yelled back as she disappeared in the vast orchard of trees. Mark chuckled and played his guitar a bit more before he fell asleep due to the crazy, some would say laughable, day he had.
Later, Mark woke up in a bed. He looked around confused as he was in a room that, he didn’t remember he had fallen asleep in. He saw that his guitar was place against the wall, and the sun was just about to set, he had a small headache, not really sure why, but he got up and picked up his guitar. He looked around again and saw an empty chair and walked over to it and sat down.
As he walked over he noticed a lot of girly things in the room, which made him even more confused. As he sat down he thought of a song to play, which happened to be one of his favorites too.
It was Don’t you worry child by Swedish House Mafia.
As he started to play, he began singing very softly.
“There was a time, I used to look into my father’s eyes.
In a happy home, I was the king, I had a golden throne.
Those days are gone, now the memory on the wall.
I hear the songs, from the places where I was born.”
What Mark didn’t notice, was that Applejack slowly opened the door and stood in the doorway, with a little smile on her face. That was until, the door creaked and caught Marks attention. She just chuckled nervously and walked in before saying.
“Just wanted to check tah see if y’all were up.” Applejack said rubbing the back of her head.
“Right.... Uh.... Um.... Yeahhh....” Mark said rubbing the back of his head.
“Also, Twilight told me to tell you, that you need to get to the library before it gets dark. You’re car is outside by the way.” Applejack said.
“God damn it, this is like high school all over again.... Except that now I don’t got Mom, I got a overpowered magical unicorn....” Mark muttered, as he stood up.
“Well just don’t do nuthin to tick her off, and y’all be fine.” Applejack said chuckling.
“Thats easier said than done, Applejack.” Mark said with a small smile.
“Well you gotta good five minutes before the sun goes down. So you might want to get ya flank out into the fancy car o’ yours and git!” Applejack said.
“I’m goin’ I’m goin’.... Moooom.” Mark said as walked past Applejack.
“You better before I whoop your flank for that baksas!” Applejack threatened and laughed evilly.
“Nope!” Mark said before speeding down the stair and out the door, he quickly came back and yelled. “Thanks for letting me stay here!” before speeding away again.
“Y’all are welcome!” Applejack shouted laughing as he zoomed off.

(Third person)
Jed was sitting inside with his ‘Musicgasm’ headphones over his ears as he was listening to some music as he sketched the nearest thing to him, which happened to be the window looking over the nightsky. Twilight was pacing around the library biting the ends of her fingers.
“Where is he!?” She shouted finally.
“He’ll be fine.” Jed said as he didn’t even look up from his pad.
“How would you know!?” Twilight shouted. He looked up from his pad and stared at her. “... Right. Dumb question.”
There was a somewhat loud rumble in the distance, and it got louder as it got closer, after a short while there was some screeching and sliding from the outside before a car door opened and slammed shut before someone stormed through the front door.
“Shitshitshitshitshit!” Mark muttered out as he came through the door.
“Ta dah!” Jed shouted. “I do mag
“Oh right, thats totally true.” Mark said sarcastically as he closed the front door.
“Where have you been mister!” Twilight shouted walking over and standing right in front of Mark.
“Oh....Fuck.” Mark said as he backed up into a wall. “Eh.....”
“I was worried sick you know that!?” Twilight shouted at mark. “I was sitting here pacing around thinking you got lost or something!”
“Uh....” Mark just stood there looking uncomfortable. “Um.... Yeah....”
“I even thought that you got eaten by Timberwolves or a Manticore! Do you know what I would have done if that happened!?” Twilight said.
“Uh.... N-No?” Mark said reluctantly.
“Neither do I!” She shouted. “You are my responsibility until you guys get your own jobs and home, so until then you will be home before sundown unless you have told me otherwise! Do you understand me, mister?!” Twilight said.
Mark just mumbled something.
“What was that!?” Twilight snapped.
“Yes mom!” Mark said quickly.
“That’s what I thought! Now go to your room!” Twilight said pointing to a guestroom with Mark’s name on it.
“Wait I have a room?” Mark asked.
“Yeah, I moved your stuff while you were out.” Twilight said smiling.
“Nice.....” Mark said with a smile and nodding his head.
“March!” Twilight shouted.
“Ahh!” Mark yelled out before running to his room, and entering.
“Well then...” Jed said as he went to his sketch again.
“You too!” Twilight shouted.
“What did I do!?” Jed complained.
“I heard how you made moves on Vinyl! That’s not allowed! Go to your room!” She shouted.
“But those were just gestures! Not making moves!!” Jed argued.
“No buts! GO!” She shouted.
“Aaaah!” Jed said as he grabbed his stuff and ran upstairs into his room. As everything was quiet Twilight looked around before smiling smugly.
“That’s how you do it Twilight. No one pushes you around.” She said smugly as she walked upstairs and went to bed. Mark just poked his head out of his room before running out and out of the library quickly, before returning inside with a pillow under his arm.
“Phew, got Mr.Pillow.... Now quick before the purple beast wakes up.” Mark said.
“MARK IS THAT YOU!?” Twilight shouted.
“Hnnnng...” Mark said holding a hand over his heart and running into his room.
