- >Another day, another dollar.
- >If that was true your parents would be rich.
- >Well, maybe not rich, but still.
- >The others have been acting weird recently.
- >Wonder why that is.
- >The new girls, the Dazzlings if you recall correctly, just walked up to you and started singing.
- >You were trying to decide how you were gonna get this banner up there.
- "Yeah nice song, d'ya think the three of you could lift me up there for a second? I need to put this banner up for the competition."
- >They looked at each other, the blue one responded.
- >"Uh, sure thing!"
- >The three of them lifted you up into the air and you nailed that bitch to the wall.
- >Got 'em chief.
- >You jump down to the floor and dust your hands off.
- "Thanks, I appreciate the help."
- >"No problem dude."
- >The gears turn in her head.
- >"Hey, wait a minute! How come our singing didn't work on you?!"
- "What? I mean it's a good song but I prefer heavier things."
- >"Heh, guess this jackass might not be so bad after all."
- "Least I don't look like a grape."
- >"Yeah? Least I don't look like the Jolly Green Giant."
- >Ouch, she had you there.
- >You noticed their necklaces.
- "Nice gems, where'd you get them?"
- >"Oh we came here with them, they're what let us control people!"
- >The other two smacked their faces.
- >"Sonata you idiot."
- >"I'll have you know he seems entirely trustworthy with that info."
- "Oh shit, is that why everyone has been dicks lately? Nice!"
- >You start laughing.
- "Ah man, I thought they just finally took my advice to loosen up."
- >You pat the blue one, Sonata, on the head.
- >She gives a little giggle.
- >Walking over to the other two, you wrap your arms around them and grin.
- "How about we go have ourselves some fun? You two got names?"
- >The cheese puff grins, "Adagio Dazzle."
- >The purple grump rolls her eyes, "Aria Blaze, the bluebird over there is named Sonata Dusk."
- >"Hiya! Say, what's your name?"
- >You smile.
- "Anonymous, but you can call me Anon."
- >You walk around taking in the sight of everyone fighting.
- >Felt good to be the king.
- >Even if it was in the land of the blind.
- >You noticed Vinyl Scratch rocking out and gave her a fistbump.
- >"Should we mind control her?"
- "Nah, sure it'll be fine. She won't get in your way. She's a total bro."
- >"If you say so."
- >Along the way Aria's hair kept brushing up against you.
- >It was surprisingly well kept.
- "Seriously the fuck do you use on your hair?"
- >"Well it does get hard to keep up the puffiness but-"
- "No I meant Aria, her hair is like somebody made cotton candy out of silk or some shit."
- >You caught a faint blush on her cheeks.
- >"Well y'know, it's not like a dork like you would understand, but I actually like to have a nice shower after I work out."
- >Dagi isn't too happy with you.
- "Oh but your hair is great too don't get me wrong!"
- >She gives a small smile, "Nice save pal."
- >"What about me Nonny?"
- >Bluebird looked up at you with pleading eyes.
- >You ruffle her hair.
- "Your hair is great for patting."
- >She smiles, then realizes her hair is messed up and pats it back down.
- >You pass the most popular group of girls in the school, and their friend, as you walk through the hallway.
- >Pinkie gasps, "Nonny?! What are you doing hanging out with those meanies?!"
- "I dunno, they seem pretty chill to me."
- >She squints at you, "Are you sure you aren't being mind controlled right now?"
- "Totally not, but it is hilarious to see the others being assholes. They're like me now. Cept not doing it for shits and giggles. It's great."
- >"I wouldn't say it's great dear, their friendships are being torn apart."
- "Ah whatever, you can tell how good a friend is by how much shit you can throw at each other without getting upset. You should try it sometime darling."
- >The four of you walk off chuckling to yourselves.
- >It was the day of the final round of the competition.
- >Everything was going great.
- >Then Sunset and company decided to summon Blue Eyes White Horse and blasted the fucking stage.
- >You went looking for the Dazzlings after they ran off.
- >Had to find them before the crowd.
- >You stopped when you spotted those purple pigtails.
- "Oh good, I found you guys."
- >"Anon? What are you doing here?"
- "Making sure nothing bad happens to you."
- >The crowd caught up to you.
- >"THERE THEY ARE! LET'S GET 'EM!"
- "Get behind me."
- >You spread your arms wide and blocked the crowd from them.
- >"Get out of the way Anon!"
- "Nope. If you assholes can give Sunset a second chance, I don't see any reason why these three should be any different."
- >"Since when did you grow a heart?"
- >Oh hell no.
- "Which one of you damn motherfuckers just said that shit?"
- >A now timid girl raises her hand.
- "Bitch I have always been a bro, it's just nobody was willing to see past my smartass comments."
- >She lowers her hand.
- >"He's got a point you guys."
- >Flash steps in to back you up.
- >"Sorry for being a dick, by the way."
- "You kidding? I loved that shit you faggot."
- >You gave him a high-five.
- "But seriously, I'll fight the world over this bullshit."
- >"Yeah right."
- "Hey I never said what world. For all you know I'm talking about the tarot card."
- >Flash whispers into your ear, "Too much Persona dude."
- "Heresy."
- >He shrugs, "Just saying."
- >Eventually the crowd dispersed, and you were left with the Dazzlings.
- >You helped them up and dusted them off.
- >You gave Aria a pat on the butt.
- >"Don't push your luck."
- "Fair enough, so wanna come back to my place? I'm guessing without your magic you don't have a place to stay."
- >They all had varied responses, from Dagi trying to bluff her way out, to Aria coming up with an excuse, and Sonata just nodding and agreeing with you.
- "Aight, let's go."
- >You opened the front door to your house.
- "Yo mom, dad, I'm home."
- >Anonymous Sr. looks up from his Vita.
- >He only got the thing to play Persona 4 Golden.
- >He has you to thank for that.
- >"Honey, you owe me fifty bucks."
- >Mommymous walks out from the kitchen with a glass of milk.
- >"Damn it, I could've sworn he was gay."
- >"Told you that horses are manly."
- >You gave him a high five as you walked by.
- >"So, are you gonna fuck one of them?"
- >You paused.
- "Uh, w-well y'know..."
- >You continued up to your room.
- >"I didn't hear a no!"
- >You sighed as you opened the door to your room.
- "Sorry about that, my dad can be a bit..."
- >"Cool?"
- >"Awesome?"
- >"He seems like a nice guy, you didn't tell us you liked horses Anon! Where we come from there are plenty of horses!"
- >She scratches her chin, "Well they're more like ponies but y'know same thing right?"
- "Yeah sure."
- >You kick your Red Hot Pie figurine under the bed.
- >Nobody needed to know.
- >Aside from your parents.
- >Dad always was nosy.
- "So you guys can sleep in my bed, I'll take the bean bag chair over there."
- >Shit was comfy as fuck.
- >"Nah, I can take that dude."
- "No way purple grump, you three are my guests. I might be an asshole, but I have some manners damn it."
- >She mumbles something under her breath before smiling, "You're alright, y'know that?"
- "I try."
- >You toss yourself onto the chair and sink in.
- "So, what'dya guys wanna do?"
- >Dagi thinks for a moment before giggling, "How about Truth or Dare?"
- "Don't test me, I'll wreck you mate."
- >"We'll just see about that."
- >You take a bottle of Mountain Dew� and chug it, then toss it to her.
- "Go for it boss."
- >She spun it around.
- >Blueberry was up first.
- >"Truth or dare?"
- >"Oooh, truth, TRUUUTH!"
- >She beamed, eager huh?
- >"Well then, what do you think of our new friend?"
- >"I think he's a swell guy-"
- >"Did you seriously just use the word swell, you dork?"
- >"Shut up Aria, and I'm glad he's our frie-"
- >"Wait did you tell me to shut up? Shit you might actually be growing a spine!"
- >"-nd. You know maybe if you let me fucking finish once in a while you uptight prick. Honestly I think you're just mad I get more than you."
- >Dagi and Aria sat there, slack-jawed.
- >"Of course I'm not actually retarded, I've just been trying to get the two of you to loosen up. Jeez."
- >She gave a little huff.
- >Aria was crying, "Oh man, I don't think I've ever been more proud of you than I am right now."
- >She gave her a hug, "Now I don't feel ashamed to call you a little sister."
- >Sonata couldn't stay mad at her, "Aw it's okay. Sometimes I'm just a little bit angry that I can't express my anger without you two worrying about me."
- "That's... kinda recursive isn't it? I don't know you kinda messed my head up there."
- >How could something that cute explode like that?
- >"Recursiwhat now?"
- "... Clever girl."
- >She grins, "I try."
- >Bottle spun, and the lucky winner is...
- >You.
- >"Truth or dare?"
- "Dare."
- >"I dare you to give Aria a hug!"
- "Pfft, that's easy."
- >You go to give her a hug.
- >She pushes you away, "Nuh-uh, you're gonna work for it."
- >Bitches don't know about your snuggling skills.
- >You wrap your arms around her and start pulling.
- >The vice grip comes down on the purple cutie.
- >"Damn it, get off me!"
- >You squeeze her.
- "No."
- >She squirms a little, "You're lucky you're so comfy."
- "... You smell nice."
- >"Alright don't be a weirdo."
- "Just saying, it's like a fresh spring breeze."
- >"Please don't."
- "And I wouldn't mind getting to know you a little better, if you'd thaw the winter out of you."
- >"Ugh that was awful... but, y'know, points for trying I guess."
- >She returns the hug for a brief moment before pushing you away.
- >"That never happened, got it?"
- "I have no idea what you're talking about."
- >She chuckled, "We're gonna get along just fine, you and I."
- >"Nonny and Aria, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-"
- >"SHUT UP YOU TWO!"
- >This time you could definitely see the blush on her face.
- >"It's okay Aria, we've all had relationships before!"
- >"Well, except for her, don't forget that dear."
- >"Oh yeah, sorry about that."
- >She grumbled, "Yeah whatever, thanks."
- >"You know it might help if you let others get close to you."
- >"Coming from the Queen Bitch that means a lot, thanks."
- >"Guilty as charged, doesn't change the fact that I'm right."
- >You raised your hand.
- "Yeah how about we talk about video games? Like Custard's Revenge where-"
- >Sonata shushed you, "These two don't need to know about that game."
- >Wait she knew what you were talking about?
- >Kinky.
- >Your phone vibrated.
- >A text message from Pinkie.
- >"How are things going with you-know-who?"
- >You replied back.
- "What? Flash Sentry or the Dazzlings? Cause the slash-fic of myself and the former will never happen."
- >A couple seconds later you got a response.
- >"Cute, but I meant the Dazzlings."
- "It's going good, kinda in the middle of something here."
- >One last text.
- >"Okie dokie lokie! :D"
- >Fucking emoticons.
- "Sorry, that was Pinkie. Guess she's just checking in because I agreed to take her spot as Discord's assistant tomorrow."
- >You looked up from your phone and sighed.
- "So, what now?"
- >Dagi stretched, "I dunno, it's been a long day. I think we should just call it here."
- >The others nodded in agreement.
- "That's cool too, I wish it was a weekend so we could sleep in a little."
- >"A little?"
- "I've never been one to sleep in for long."
- >"Heh, guess that's one thing we disagree on."
- "Well, goodnight you guys."
- >"Seeya tomorrow Nonny!"
- >You laid back in the bean bag chair and got comfy.
- >It didn't take too long to fall asleep.
- >You woke up with a lot more weight on your chest.
- "Come on purple get off me."
- >She fluttered her eyes open a little.
- >"Shh, just enjoy this like I know you are. Gimme like, I dunno, five more minutes."
- >You shrugged and hugged her.
- "Any reason you aren't in my bed?"
- >"Sonata was hugging her pillow and Dagi isn't the most cuddly person out there."
- "Are you saying you got lonely?"
- >"... Maybe, or maybe I just think you're comfier than your stupid bed."
- >You stroke her back.
- "It's okay, I ain't judging you. Sometimes we all just need a hug."
- >She pouted, "Shut up, you jerk. Why do you have to be nice?"
- "It's just basic decency, if I can't have that then what would I be?"
- >"Basic decency my ass, you don't have to give me a hug."
- "... Nah, I really don't. But it feels nice, doesn't it?"
- >"... Yeah. But if you tell the other two I said that I'll deny it."
- "I'd never dream of it."
- >"Good..."
- >She fidgeted for a bit before giving you a peck on the cheek.
- >"There, for being a cool guy. And not one of those assholes that act like tough shit either."
- "Uh, y-you too."
- >What have you gotten yourself into?
- >You walked into Discord's office.
- >Best part about this is you get to hang out with the greatest counselor ever AND didn't have to go to class all day!
- >Pinkie had a family situation.
- >Something about rocks.
- >You didn't question her, you learned not to.
- >"Ah, Anonymous! I didn't see you there."
- "Bullshit you didn't."
- >"You know what they say about bad language... ah, just don't let anybody else hear you."
- "I assume Pinkie told you I was filling in for her?"
- >"Yes, I may have orchestrated this so that I could talk to you while going through an otherwise boring day."
- "... This is why you're the best."
- >"So I've been told."
- "Anyway, what've we got on the list toda-"
- >"My, so eager to get started? Why don't we talk about your display of affection the other day?"
- "What? Me saving the Dazzlings? I dunno, just kinda felt like doing it."
- >"Ah yes, feelings. These things are important you know? So easy to make someone do something just by manipulating the way they feel."
- "When you put it that way it makes me sound like an asshole."
- >"My apologies, I didn't mean to offend you. Manipulation doesn't have to be a bad thing, mind."
- "I guess I can see your point, I don't really need to give an example do I?"
- >"We're all adults here, if you think you get it then that's all I need to know."
- "Anyway, I guess I just didn't want to leave them to the wolves. I don't know if I did the right thing but..."
- >"You still feel like you did what you had to do?"
- "Yeah, it still felt right to me, y'know?"
- >He laughs and pats you on the back, "All too well, my boy."
- >Getting serious for a moment, he sighs.
- >"Just be careful about your emotions, they are fickle things that can get the best of you."
- "I'll keep that in mind sir."
- >"Please, just call me Discord."
- "Sorry, force of habit."
- >You sat in the chair next to Discord and thought about your situation with Aria.
- >Did she like you?
- >Was that peck on the cheek just a friendly thing?
- >Didn't seem like it.
- >She's not one to just show affection like that, maybe she's fucking with you?
- >But then, if she isn't you can't just ignore that.
- >But if she is you could seriously make things awkward.
- >Why couldn't things be simpler?
- >"You seem distressed, dear boy. Mind telling me what's eating you?"
- "I could tell you what I'd like to be eating out."
- >"I didn't realize you were interested in romance, or is this just a one night stand kind of deal?"
- "I think a... a friend of mine likes me and I'm not sure what to do."
- >"It's one of the Dazzlings isn't it? I'm sure the blue one would be happy to oblige you, or if it's Adagio you just have to be confident."
- >You paused and looked at him in complete and utter despair.
- >"... Oh it's the grape isn't it? Oh I got nothing for her. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavor, however."
- >You sighed and shook your head.
- "Thanks, I'll need it."
- >Nurse Redheart walked in holding a clipboard.
- >"One of my patients wants to see your friend there Discord."
- >"You do know how to ruin my fun."
- >"Oh bite me."
- >"Later, we're in public right now."
- "Yeah I'm just gonna go see who needs me, I don't need to hear this right now."
- >"Does that mean you'd be alright with it some other time?"
- >You turned to him and grinned a little.
- "Sure, you two can tell me all about your little date some other time."
- >You walked down to the nurse's office.
- >It was funny, one to fix the body, and one to fix the mind.
- >You opened the curtain to see Aria lying there with a twisted ankle.
- >"Bout time you showed up you dork."
- >Shit what do you even do?
- "How did you even-"
- >"Might've fallen down on purpose to spend time with you."
- "I thought you liked gym?"
- >"I like you mo-"
- >She paused.
- >"Nevermind, just come sit with me."
- >You weren't going to call her out on it.
- >You sat there, just being close to her.
- >Eventually she sighed.
- >"Sorry if I intimidate you, I know I can be a real bitch."
- "I'm not scared, just... wondering how to go about this. Never really had to deal with someone like you before. Not like this anyway."
- >She raised an eyebrow, "What do you mean?"
- "I dunno... you're kinda cute."
- >"I've been called a lot of things... cute ain't one of them."
- "That's a damn shame, though I guess I can see why. You have to compete with Sonata."
- >"Yeah, as ditzy as she can be, it does attract a crowd."
- "Gotta admit, she's pretty charming."
- >You wrapped an arm around her.
- "But I've always been a curious boy, and I wanna get to know you better."
- >She smiled, "Is that an invitation? Are you asking me to be your girlfriend?"
- "Maybe, depends on your answer."
- >She elbowed your side, "Shut up dude you know I'm down for it!"
- "That was easier than I thought it'd be, now I just have to make sure not to screw this up."
- >"As long as you can put up with me that should be good enough. I'm not too uptight, just an asshole."
- >The two of you laid back together.
- "Guess that makes two of us."
- >"... Feels weird, all this mushy stuff... I kinda like it, to be honest."
- "Yeah, you get used to it after a while."
- >You smiled.
- "Feels good."
- >"I guess... you totally bullshitted your way through this didn't you?"
- "I was not lying, but I did come up with a lot of that on the spot. I have never been good at planning confessions."
- >She shook her head, "You're too honest, y'know that right?"
- "I'd rather be too honest than too dishonest."
- >"Ah you're adorable, this is why I like you."
- >You gave her hand a squeeze.
- >"... Dork."
- "Cutie."
- >"Dick."
- "Bitch."
- >"You're fun."
- "You too."
- >The two of you chuckled.
- >The time just kinda flew on by.
- "We should probably get going."
- >"Do we have to?"
- "Yes."
- >You picked her up.
- >"Put me down, I can wa-"
- >You looked at her.
- >"Oh, right."
- >You strutted on out to your ride, meeting Sonata and Dagi on the way out.
- >"This is precious."
- >"I think it's super cute!"
- >Aria glared daggers at them.
- >The effect was lessened because you were cradling her in your arms.
- >She folded her arms and pouted.
- >"Whatever, I'm still cool."
- "Nobody said you weren't."
- >"Well, I did that one time."
- >"Fuck off Dagi."
- >You piled into the backseat of your dad's SUV.
- >Dagi sat on one of the buckles, forcing Aria to stay wrapped in your arms.
- >"I'm still tougher than the two of you combined."
- >"Of course you are dear, we never said anything."
- >"Except that one time, you mean."
- >"Ah come on Aria, that was just a joke! Right Dagi?"
- >"Maybe."
- >"Dagi..."
- >"Okay fine it was a joke."
- >"So son, how does it feel to actually hold a woman in your arms?"
- >No time to be awkward, make dad proud.
- "Pretty damn good actually."
- >You saw him grin.
- >"That's what I like to hear, attaboy."
- >You kicked it up to your room.
- >Was that even a phrase?
- >Whatever.
- >You were rummaging around for some shit to play.
- >If you had more room around your computer you'd just hook up some controllers and play something on there.
- >Actually had to look through your console stuff.
- >Why the fuck did you have Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed?
- >Eh, whatever. Good enough.
- "Found something guys."
- >"Bout time, what is it?"
- >You flash the case to them while you put the disk in and start up the console.
- >You saw a purple blur dart past your window.
- >Not your problem.
- >Anybody tried to break into the house your dad would kick their ass.
- >Hey wait a minute you were on the second floor.
- "Guys I'm gonna check something out, I call dibs on my boy Knuckles."
- >"Like we were gonna pick him anyway."
- "Fuck you Knuckles is great."
- >You stepped out onto the roof of your house.
- "Yo who the fuck be you bitch?"
- >The purple cloak wearing fucker clumsily climbed down your place.
- "Here's a tip from one asshole to the next, don't fucking wear a bright lab coat when you're sneaking around!"
- >You jumped back through the window and shut it.
- >"Who was that?"
- "I got no clue, she didn't seem like the breaking and entering type though."
- >"What makes you say that?"
- "That exit was way too stupid and clumsy to be the work of a professional."
- >You went to select Knuckles.
- >Adagio had picked Nights, Sonata claimed Amigo, and Aria chose Gum.
- "Let's just get this shit over with."
- >Fuck yeah.
- >Won all five rounds.
- "The Great Emerald's power allows me to feel."
- >"Yeah yeah, so what've you got on your computer?"
- >You could feel everything fading away.
- "No don't touch-!"
- >She moved the mouse cursor and your desktop was of pone.
- >Fuck. Why didn't you shut your PC off?
- "-that..."
- >Aria sat down and thought about this long and hard.
- >"Tell us everything you know."
- >What.
- "... and that's the story of how Princess Sprinklybutt saved the land."
- >"Ugh, barring some name changes, that sounds an awful lot like our world."
- "Cool beans, I'm just gonna go contemplate life as an associate of magical creatures from another dimension."
- >You curled up on your bed and shivered.
- >This is not happening, this is not happening.
- >Aria became the big spoon.
- >This is happening.
- "What is my life?"
- >"A lot better now that you have us with you?"
- "... Yeah, thanks babe."
- >"No problem, horsefucker."
- >Shitfuck.
- "Haha... yeah... but, y'know..."
- >You turned and whispered in her ear.
- "Sirens are nice too."
- >She blushed and flopped around trying to unhook her arms from you.
- >You flipped her over and leaned your face in close to hers.
- "And y'know what I'm gonna do now?"
- >She started panting.
- "I'm..."
- >Closer.
- "Gonna..."
- >Clooooser.
- "Boop ya."
- >You pressed your nose against her own, then gave her a peck on the lips.
- >She scrunched her face and gave you a hug.
- >"You're mine, y'know that right?"
- "Of course dear."
- >You snuggled her chest.
- >"Hey watch it pal."
- "Sorry."
- >"No you're not."
- "... No I'm not."
- >Your dad walked in.
- >"Yo did you guys see that purple chick that ran off? Hah, what a joker."
- "Yeah, she was up there on the roof but I scared her off."
- >"Nice, so what do you think she wanted?"
- "I dunno, judging by that lab coat she was gathering info. For what? I dunno. Could've just asked us to take a survey."
- >"Yeah, so how did video games go?"
- "I won, as usual."
- >"Good you better I taught you how to play video games."
- >He slid out of the doorway and back to your parents' room.
- "Love you dad."
- >He popped his head back in, "Love you too son!"
- >You were actually pretty tired.
- "Sonata, you're sleeping on the bean bag chair tonight."
- >"Weeee!"
- >She bounced onto it.
- >You snuggled Aria.
- >"No get off me, you big jerk."
- "Nuh-uh."
- >You pressed your cheek up against hers.
- >"... Fine."
- >The two of you went to sleep cuddled up next to each other.
- >These things can't last forever however.
- >You were sitting in geology class, bored out of your mind.
- >Since the Dazzlings hadn't received any classes before The Happening, Principal Celestia decided to throw them in all of your classes.
- >You weren't complaining, you got to hang out with them more, even if you did get some dirty looks.
- >"Huh, so it's magma when it's inside the volcano and lava when it's out?"
- "Yup, common mistake is to just call it lava."
- >Mr. Sombra noticed your idle chat with Aria.
- >"Well Mr. Anonymous, I'm sure you'd love to answer my question."
- "Lay it on me."
- >"Which type of rock formation can end up as a sort of 'sideways stalactite'?"
- "Helictites right? Those things are kinda weird, and gravity is their-"
- >"I don't need you to finish that sentence, but yes. You're correct. Nice work."
- >You leaned over to Aria.
- "I rock."
- >She visibly cringed, "Why."
- "Because I don't like seeing you stone cold."
- >"Agh, that one hurt."
- "I can't help it if I'm being completely onyx."
- >"I will kick you in the dick."
- "Okay I'll stop then, jeez."
- >"SOMEBODY CATCH THAT DOG! TOOK MY FUCKING PHONE!"
- >Was that Flash?
- >You ran outside to see a dog holding his phone in its mouth.
- >Flash stopped to catch his breath.
- >"If you get my phone back I will owe you like, two or four lunches."
- "Relax, I'll do it for free."
- >"Thanks bro."
- >You darted off after the dog.
- >You might not be quite as fast as Flash, but you could run for longer, and you were quicker on your feet.
- >The dog never had much of a chance once you got it in your sights.
- >Aside from some drool his phone was intact.
- "So, where's your master boy?"
- >"She's right here."
- >"You so much as hurt a hair on his head, I will personally-"
- >You stood up to your full height.
- >You weren't the tallest guy in the school, but there weren't many taller.
- >The only two you could think of off the top of your head were Bulk and Big Mac.
- >"... Find someone else to beat you up."
- >You handed the dog back over to her.
- "Cute little guy, what's he doing stealing phones?"
- >She fidgeted, "Um, research?"
- >You squinted.
- "Hey wait a minute, you look an awful lot like Twilight Sparkle. And for that matter, the chick that was sneaking around my house the other day."
- >"That's because I AM Twilight Sparkle! Why does everyone act shocked when I tell them that?"
- "Maybe cause of the whole you from another dimension thing?"
- >"That's what he told me, I'm still not convinced but then he's... well, I shouldn't tell you anything more."
- >She sighs, "Look, just don't do anything stupid. I'm not sure he'd appreciate you ruining his hard work."
- >She ran off with the dog in her arms.
- "Who is HE? What would he want with me?!"
- >You thought about her phrasing.
- "WHY THE FUCK IS THERE SOMEONE HIRING YOU TO WATCH ME?!"
- >Flash caught up to you.
- >"Who was that?"
- "Remember Twilight?"
- >"Pfft, course I remember her. Not like I feel weird about falling in love with a horse."
- "Yeah, real shame that revelation there. Just ran into her human counterpart."
- >"Really? Was she cute?"
- "As a button, that's not the point. Somebody hired her to keep an eye on me. I wanna know who."
- >"Do you think she put her number in my phone?"
- "Focus dude, and no. I got it before her pup got back to her."
- >"Damn, alright I'm all ears."
- "I know you have a certain charm with these nerdy girls. I don't get it myself."
- >"Same reason you attract all the tomboys I guess. Didn't quite get that either."
- "Yeah, well, I need you to maybe get to her and make her talk."
- >"This sounds like an amazing idea that I am totally on board for."
- "Good. Now I gotta get back to Aria."
- >Class was over and you met Aria by your locker.
- >"The hell was that all about?"
- "Human Twilight is watching me. For some unknown third party."
- >"Nice, you're actually important."
- >You grab your stuff and start to head home for the day.
- "I never asked to be important, these things just seem to happen to me."
- >"Eh, it's not so bad is it?"
- >You thought about it for a moment.
- >You wrapped your arm around her waist.
- "Nah, it got me you, didn't it?"
- >She blushed, "Still can't get used to this cuddly crap."
- "Don't worry, you'll grow into it."
- >"I guess..."
- >She stopped you in one of the quieter hallways.
- >"Mind if I ask you something? Something the other two can't know about?"
- "Sure, what is it?"
- >"Why me?"
- "What?"
- >She pushed you up against the wall and looked into your eyes.
- >"Why. Me."
- "Sonata is bubbly, but more of a little sister. Adagio is cool but I can't see myself staying with her for very long."
- >You pulled her into your chest.
- >You could feel her shiver and tremble ever so slightly for a brief moment before regaining her composure.
- "I guess you could say you were a happy medium, but that wouldn't do you justice."
- >You ran your fingers through her hair.
- "You just had something about you that drew me towards you..."
- >You leaned into her ear.
- "Plus you have really nice hair, not to mention a great ass."
- >You could see her holding back a thin film of tears.
- >Not enough to really cry, but enough to betray her emotions.
- >She beat on your chest for a little while.
- >"Stupid... fucking dork... why do you have to be so nice?"
- "I'm just being honest."
- >"... Thanks, sometimes I forget I'm pretty. It's nice to be reminded once in a while."
- >You gave her a hug and a kiss on the forehead.
- "Come on, let's go home."
- >The four of you had a routine of going home and playing video games.
- >Today Sonata found the Unholy Grail of Gaming.
- >Mario Party, a.k.a. Fuck You: The Game that Ruins Friendships.
- >One of the best review quotes is of course, "If you take my goddamn star I will punch you in the face."
- "We're really doing this?"
- >"Yeppayeppy!"
- >You picked Luigi.
- >Aria picked Waluigi.
- >Sonata picked Donkey Kong.
- >And Adagio picked... Wario, of course.
- >The end is nigh.
- >Well, maybe a bit dramatic, but shit was about to go down.
- >You were the button mashing king.
- >"Oh come the fuck on! I couldn't even move you!"
- "Not good enough, guess these are like actual crane games."
- >"Fuck this shit!"
- >Adagio stepped on one of your traps and lost a Star.
- >"Damn it! Why do you keep doing this shit? You are the worst Anon."
- "What can I say? I'm kind of an asshole."
- >3 vs. 1 mini-game time.
- >"Alright girls, let's wreck him."
- "Oh hey another button mashing thing."
- >"There's no way he can outmash the three of us."
- >You did anyway.
- "THIS IS TO GO EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!"
- >"What the hell?! Are you insane?!"
- "Yes. I am the real Super Saiyan."
- >"Now's not the time for your fucking anime you little shit."
- "Someone is two hundred percent mad."
- >Oh hey the game was over.
- >Time for bonus stars.
- >Fucking Sonata got every goddamn bonus star and won the game.
- >That luck isn't an everyday occurrence.
- >"Yay! I won! That was fun, we should do this more often."
- "Agreed."
- >Aria and Adagio were glaring bastard swords at each other.
- >"If you actually worked with me we could've beaten him!"
- >"Hah! Where's the fun in that?"
- >"Oh, y'know, MAYBE BEING A GOOD FUCKING PARTNER?!"
- >"Puh-lease, I've seen how attached you are to him."
- >"That's because I take what I can get, and what I got is a damn good guy!"
- >"Gag me, if you like him so much why don't you marry him?"
- >"Maybe I will! At least I can be satisfied with something in my life!"
- >"What are you saying?!"
- >"You're NEVER satisfied with what you have! Not in the game, not here with us!"
- >Aria marched over to her, looking like she was ready to smack her.
- >Instead she gave her a hug.
- >"We're here for you, damn it! Just fucking open up to us once in a while, will you?!"
- >This time she openly cried.
- >"You're our big sister, and we care about you."
- >Adagio sat there speechless for a moment before returning the hug.
- >"I've been a bad girl, haven't I?"
- >This outburst had been a long time coming, it seemed.
- >Adagio started giggling.
- >"I thought you'd forgotten how to cry."
- >Aria couldn't stop herself from smiling.
- >"And I thought you'd forgotten how not to be a bitch."
- >She wipes the tears from her eyes.
- >"You know there's only two people I'd cry for, you and Sonata."
- >"Aww, she does care about me!"
- >"Don't push your luck kiddo."
- >"Sorry."
- "Any chance I could get on that exclusive list?"
- >She looks at you and smirks, "Maybe someday champ, maybe someday."
- >Sonata let out a cute little yawn.
- >"I'm gonna go to bed now."
- >"I think I'll hit the ha- um, go to bed too."
- >"Yeah, I'm out for the night as well."
- >Aria walked over to you and grabbed your arm.
- "Didn't expect that speech out of you."
- >"I might be tough, but I'm no fool."
- >She shoved you onto the bed.
- >"If you're a real badass you know when to get help from your friends."
- >She forced you to be the little spoon once again.
- >"Because nothing's more badass than being with your badass friends."
- "So..."
- >"Don't get used to this, I only did this in the heat of the moment."
- "Right. You really should smile more though, you're cute when you smile."
- >She squeezes you harder, "Please stop it. Let's just get some sleep, okay?"
- >Over the next couple of weeks you taught the three of them how to sing again.
- >It wasn't easy, but they were fast learners.
- >They probably wouldn't get back to their magical steroid singing voices.
- >But they were still pretty damn good.
- >You figured it would be good for bonding.
- >It also meant the three of them were blubbering messes once they were able to sing again.
- >It really wasn't that hard, but you supposed it WAS one of their favorite things.
- >You bumped into Flash as you were thinking about this.
- >"Hey bro, I totally got you the hook-up you need."
- "English, Flash. English."
- >"Sorry dude, but I can tell you that whoever this... uh..."
- "Sci-Twi?"
- >"Yeah, well, whoever she's working for isn't human."
- "We've had more than one thing that wasn't human become human."
- >"According to her the only thing he shares is our shape."
- "Shit, well I'm sure if it bleeds we can kill it."
- >"..."
- "Oh damn it, he's not organic is he?"
- >"Afraid not, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it."
- >Pinkie was waving to you, clearly wanting your attention for a bit.
- "Well, somebody wants me. Thanks for this Flash."
- >"No problem, and stay safe man."
- "What'dya want Pinks?"
- >"I'm so glad you asked Nonny!"
- >Oh boy, here we go.
- >"Right, so I wanna throw a party for the Dazzlings!"
- "This can only go well."
- >"I'm glad you're so optimistic!... Wait that was sarcasm, nevermind."
- >She reached up and pinched your cheek, "Don't worry, your Auntie Pinkie Pie has a great idea!"
- "I'm sure you do."
- >"Since you've been teaching them to sing again-"
- "How do you know that?"
- >"-I figured we could have a karaoke party!"
- "Yeah, sure, whatever."
- >"Great! Also you should probably take care of that dude that's having you watched."
- >She whispers, "Discord doesn't like him."
- "Wait he knows him?"
- >"Oops! Said too much, gotta go!"
- "Damn it Pinkie."
- >As you were walking to class you saw Sci-Twi shaking her head at you through a window.
- >You silently mouthed some words to her.
- "What do you want from me?"
- >She just fucking left.
- >You were getting a little sick of this bullshit.
- >Class could wait, you needed answers.
- >And you went to the one person who apparently knew this jackass.
- >The only issue would be getting a straight answer out of him.
- >You'd be damned if you weren't going to try though.
- >You walked into Discord's office.
- >"Good afternoon Anonymous, what brings you to my office?"
- "Cut the crap Discord, you know why I'm here."
- >He frowns, "You should know that he's out of your weight class. You wouldn't be punching above your class, you'd be throwing punches at the sky."
- "Gee, thanks for the vote of confidence. If you can't stand this guy why don't you give me some advice I can use?!"
- >"I can tell you this, you're going to need some help that's out of this world."
- "Ugh, if I didn't know about the portal in front of our school I'd feel like smacking you right now."
- >He chuckles, "My apologies, but you know I can't resist a good joke."
- "I still don't know why the student body is just cool with that shit. You'd think a portal would be something to talk about."
- >"They are content to just ignore it, it makes life simpler for them."
- "Can I at least get a description of this guy so I know what to look for?"
- >"Trust me, you'll know him when you see him."
- "Lemme guess, he's hard to miss?"
- >"Oh I'd say he's at least seven feet tall. That'll be the least of your worries though."
- >That made your stomach turn a bit.
- "I... should probably get going."
- >"Yes, you should. The more you talk about him the quicker you draw his ire."
- >You thought about what he had said.
- >What kind of monster were you dealing with?
- >You'd have to find Sunset Shimmer.
- >She'd know how to contact that other world.
- >If what Discord said is true, you were running out of time.
- >You spent the rest of the class period worrying about it.
- >Did that count as bringing him up?
- >Were you cutting the amount of time you had left short?
- >For all you knew this thing could read minds as well.
- >Or at the very least, it could probably sense others thinking about him.
- >You looked around for Sunset during lunch.
- >She and her friends usually went outside after they finished eating.
- "Come on, gotta find her before something bad happens."
- >You pass a beautiful statue and-
- "... That statue wasn't there this morning."
- >Sci-Twi steps out from behind it.
- >"For what it's worth... I'm sorry."
- >You looked up at the massive crystalline being.
- >Was this guy made of diamond or something?
- "Who... what ARE you?!"
- >The massive creature moved with heavy steps.
- >"My name is Ore-Dahn. I am the last of the Guardian Crystanoks."
- >You'd snicker at the name of his species, but you were too terrified to poke fun at him.
- >"It has come to my attention that you have caused an error in the order of things. I must correct this mistake."
- "Seriously, what the fuck did I do wrong?!"
- >"Many things, but I am only concerned with your defense of the Dazzlings. They were never meant to stay in this place."
- "THAT'S what this is all about?!"
- >Your fear turned into anger.
- "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE WAY THINGS SHOULD BE?!"
- >"I know more than you, and that's what matters."
- >"So, about this other world... when can I study it?"
- >"I lied for the greater good. You should go home, you've served your purpose admirably."
- >"What'll happen to this guy?"
- >"I will eradicate him, then I shall correct his tampering with the natural order of things."
- >"You can't just kill him!"
- >"I most certainly can, what you mean to say is that I shouldn't kill him. Is that correct?"
- >"Well, yes! Life is precious!"
- >"You are thinking as a scientist should, and that is most respectable. However, I am above such moral dilemmas."
- >You started running.
- "EVERYBODY OUT OF THE WAY! THERE'S A BIG FUCKING CRYSTAL DUDE COMING THROUGH!"
- >It didn't take long for Pinkie and Flash to come running to your sides.
- >"Hey Nonny, I take it you ran into him?"
- "I AM SCARED OUT OF MY GODDAMN MIND PINKIE!"
- >Flash smacks you.
- "Thanks, I needed that."
- >"No problem, so what's the plan?"
- "Pinkie, you need to tell Sunset to contact the other Twilight. I don't care how, just fucking do it!"
- >"Okie dokie lokie!"
- >You turned to Flash.
- "As for you, well... I guess it's time for us to be heroes, right?"
- >He grinned, "Aw shit it's time, isn't it?"
- >The two of you ran to the gym.
- "Alright, just start looking for shit that could help us hold this guy off!"
- >You texted the Dazzlings.
- "Get your asses over to the gym! It's an emergency! P.S. Watch out for the giant fucking crystal man."
- >You'd need every bit of help you could get.
- >You called up Rares.
- >"Hello darling what can I-"
- "Big ass man made of diamond, wants to kill me, get as much help as you can!... Please?"
- >"It would be my pleasure dear!"
- >Baseball bats, metal pipes... is that a bowling ball? You weren't going to look a gift horse in the mouth.
- >Flash found various things to throw at him.
- >"You ready for this man?"
- "As I'll ever be."
- >Ore-Dahn broke down the wall in front of you.
- >"Why must they always make it difficult?"
- >He looked down at the two of you.
- >"This is adorable, you think you can kill me with those things."
- "Yeah? Well the rest of your species is dead!"
- >"That's because I killed them. They did not perform their duties as they should have."
- >Fuck.
- >It went about as well as you expected.
- "Shit this really hurts. Not even in a good way either."
- >He tossed you across the floor.
- >You tumbled around and laid there like a broken toy.
- >Flash crawled over to you and looked into your eyes.
- >"I just want you to know, you were a pretty awesome dude."
- "Heh, yeah. We had a good run didn't we?"
- >You struggled to sit up.
- "Hey, big guy. Care to listen to a dead man's last wish?"
- >"You are only delaying the inevitable, but it is only right that I should indulge you."
- "Whatever you do, just... please leave my friends out of this, okay?"
- >"I had no intention of killing Flash, nor was I going to harm Sunset and the company that she keeps."
- "Fuck you, you know who I'm talking about."
- >"... I cannot make any promises for the fate of the Dazzlings."
- >You stood up to face him once again, grabbing the metal pipe.
- "As long as they're in danger, I can't just lay down and die."
- >"You are very noble... and also very stupid."
- >You took a swing at him, but he just swiped the pole out of your hands and bitch slapped you.
- >You were on your last legs at this point.
- >"Now, are you going to give up?"
- "F-fuck... you."
- >"Defiant to the end, I must say I respect your tenacity."
- >You heard some chatter.
- >"Oh wow it's so neat to meet myself!"
- >"Yeah, no kidding! Thanks for helping me perfect this thing, by the way."
- >"It was no trouble, really. But then you already knew that much, didn't you?"
- >"Haha, yeah. So what's it like in your world?"
- >"Oh, y'know, I'm kind of a princess."
- >"Get out of here! Really?"
- >"Yep! What do you do?"
- >"Oh, I'm an assistant scientist. Going through college, I kinda skipped a couple of grades."
- >The two Twilights were carrying a big fuck-off cannon.
- >"Hey Ore-Dahn! I'd been working on this just in case you tried to double cross me!"
- >For the first time since you met him, you saw fear in his eyes.
- >Judging from his reaction, it was the first time he felt fear.
- >"Spike, load the cannon!"
- >The dogs loaded the thing with an orb.
- >"Seriously, your Spike can't talk?"
- >"My Spike wasn't a baby dragon either."
- >"Point taken."
- >Yeah no this is normal at this point.
- >The cannon launched it directly into Ore-Dahn's chest.
- >"Wh-what did you do?!"
- >"Wait for it..."
- >His chest started to tear apart.
- >"Agh! It feels like I'm being stabbed a thousand times over!"
- >"That thing was filled with industrial-grade drills set to go off after embedding itself inside the target."
- >Sci-Twi patted the cannon, "Gotta love kinetic energy too!"
- >"YOU IDIOTS, I WAS GOING TO FIX EVERYTHIIIIIING!"
- >He exploded into a flash of light.
- >All that he left behind was a pile of crystals.
- "I don't know what kind of connections you have Sci-Twi, but you need to have these things destroyed. Completely and utterly destroyed."
- >"Sci-Twi?"
- "Y'know, Science Twilight."
- >"... I like it, it has a nice ring to it."
- >You sat down and took a rest.
- >Sci-Twi ran over to Flash, "Hey, you okay?"
- >Twilight walked over and smiled, "It's better this way."
- >He laughed, "Yeah, the long distance thing probably wouldn't work out too well."
- "Not to mention the fact she's actually a horse."
- >He punched your shoulder, "Never gonna let that go, huh?"
- "Nope."
- >The rest of the girls caught up.
- >"Forgive me darling, everybody else was too scared to help."
- >Aria pushed her way through all of them and practically tackled you.
- >"What the fuck dude?! Do you know how worried I was about you?!"
- "Yeah, well... I couldn't let him hurt the three of you. Wouldn't have been right."
- >You could hear her sniffling.
- >"Ah damn it, now you've got me crying. That's three people on the list."
- "It's not so bad, is it?"
- >"No, I just don't like crying. Sonata is supposed to be the one that cries."
- >"She's got a point."
- >You started patting her back.
- "Don't worry, it's over now..."
- >The Dazzlings carried you to Nurse Redheart.
- >Discord was there waiting for you.
- >"Well done my boy! I knew you could do it."
- "I had a lot of help from my friends."
- >"Of course, this wasn't something you could face on your own."
- "We just caused a species to go extinct."
- >"I'm sure you have the appreciation of my other self."
- "Pfft, what are you a big player in the other world?"
- >"If I told you, would you believe me?"
- "After today? Yeah, yeah I would."
- >He leans in and whispers, "I'm a master of chaos. Nice guy though, he visits sometimes. We do lunch together."
- "Right, of course you are."
- >Nurse Redheart smiled, "Hey, my pony is a cutie."
- "Are we gonna stand here and circlejerk or can you get me patched up?"
- >"Yeah, he's getting a little heavy here."
- "That's what happens when I can't keep myself up on my own."
- >"Or maybe you're starting to put on some weight."
- "Haha, very funny."
- >"Hey, a little pudge can be cute. No need to get upset."
- >They laid you down and started fixing you up.
- >"Kid I don't know how you managed to not break anything, but you're damn lucky."
- "I also get plenty of calcium."
- >Aria snickered.
- "Sh-shut up milk is cool."
- >She gave you a pat on the head, "There there Nonny, it's okay."
- >She cupped her hands over her mouth.
- >"You never heard that."
- >You grinned.
- "Heard what?"
- >She took hold of your hand and gripped it.
- >You were sore as hell.
- >But you were alive.
- >As you were getting ready to leave, the Twilights came running towards you.
- >"Hey uh..."
- "Anon."
- >"Anon, right. So, remember when you said we should probably destroy those things?"
- "Oh no."
- >"Yeah, about that..."
- >Ore-Dahn was back, he was all ragged and jagged, but he was back.
- >He starts laughing, "I have to admit, that was a great idea Twilight."
- >He immediately stops and frowns, "Never before has someone made such a fool of me."
- >You pulled out your phone and hit speed-dial.
- "Aria go find Sombra. Tell him we need his precious."
- >She nodded and ran off.
- >Bits of crystal broke off as he trudged towards you.
- >"I must say, it's been ages since I've had a fight this good."
- >His grin is much less refined now that's he's been broken in more ways than one.
- >"Not even my own race could give me such a good fight."
- >He picked you up and shook you.
- >"Bunch of cowards, afraid of doing what had to be done!"
- >He threw you back to the ground.
- >Your ass was going to be sore in the morning.
- >"I'm so sick of people letting their feelings get in the way of the greater good!"
- "You ever stop and think, maybe you're just an asshole?"
- >"Good does not mean nice, you child."
- "No, but it certainly helps when the two are together, doesn't it?"
- >"All that does is bog things down, when you can just choose to do what has to be done without worrying about the implications..."
- >"Hah, well that's when things get done!"
- "I was wrong, you're not evil..."
- >You gritted your teeth.
- "You're just fucking crazy."
- >"How DARE you?! I'M IN CONTROL HERE, I'M THE GUARDIAN OF ORDER!"
- "And how's that iron fisted rule working out for you?"
- >"Insolent fool!"
- >He picked you up, ready to strike.
- >"Any last words?"
- "Yeah, do you know how hard a reinforced steel bumper on an SUV is?"
- >"Wha-"
- >Your dad busted the guy's legs.
- >"Ah, that's gonna dent it a little, but I knew I had this thing reinforced for a reason. They called me crazy, I showed them!"
- >He gets out and cracks his knuckles.
- >"Alright you motherfucker, what are you doing with my boy?"
- >"What has to be done."
- >"Poor choice of words."
- >Your dad brought his brass knuckles.
- >Sometimes you were glad you had a weird uncle.
- >He started punching Ore-Dahn's face in.
- >The being decided to tear off his lower legs and regenerate them, albeit they were shorter than before.
- >Your dad was awesome.
- >Aria came back with a pickaxe.
- >"Hope this is what you meant."
- "Exactly what I wanted, thanks babe."
- >You stood up and grabbed it.
- "Gimme a sec, I gotta do something before part two of my plan."
- >You slammed the axe into his leg.
- >"Gah, you... MOTHERFUCKER!"
- "Dad! Might wanna back off, I got a plan."
- >He smirked, "Alright son, take it away!"
- "Girls, start singing!"
- >"What good will that do?!"
- "You got magic in your voices, shit I dunno, it's better than nothing!"
- >They started singing.
- >Turns out your hunch was right.
- >The cracks on him started growing.
- >"Shut up! Shut your filthy mouths!"
- >He shed some of his "skin" and stood up, face to face with you.
- >"I refuse to die here, I WILL CARRY OUT MY DUTY!"
- >A crowd had started gathering around you.
- >"Hey, stop picking on Anon!"
- >"Yeah, what'd he ever do to you?!"
- >"The fuck are you anyway?"
- >"Seriously, at least Sunset and the Dazzlings were nice to look at!"
- >Everybody stops and stares at the boy who said that.
- >Even Ore-Dahn is speechless.
- >"... Uh, fuck this guy! Am I right?"
- >You can hear a girl sigh, "Goddamn it Norman."
- >Ore-Dahn looks at his reflection in his hands.
- >"... I am handsome, damn it! He just doesn't know what he's talking about."
- >You took this brief distraction to jam your pickaxe into the side of his face and tear part of it off.
- >"GAH! YOU ASSHOLE! I'LL KILL YOU!"
- >There was something familiar about this guy, now that you thought about it.
- >The loss of a good majority of his mass did nothing to make him less threatening.
- >In fact, he was actually faster now that he was the same size as you.
- >"When you see this face, you run! You don't try and fight me!"
- "I'm not scared of you anymore, dickhead."
- >"You should be, the truth is frightening!"
- "I thought the truth hurt?"
- >"SHUT THE FUCK UP! Why are you such an asshole?!"
- "BECAUSE YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME YOU DUMBASS!"
- >"I AM THE ALPHA AND-"
- "Guess that means I must be the Omega then, huh?"
- >"Nah, you're more like the Beta if I'm being honest."
- "Now's really not the best time Aria!"
- >"Argh, this is stupid! I'm just going to kill you and be done with it!"
- >You jammed the pickaxe into his shoulder.
- >"FUCK! I can't move my arm now! You ass!"
- "Aria, remind me to give Mr. Sombra a hug after this."
- >"Will do."
- >"You act as if you're going to make it out of this alive."
- "Dad?"
- >He punched him across the face with his brass knucks.
- >"Stop punching me!"
- >"No."
- >He bashed his face and broke part of it off.
- >Stumbling backwards, he clutched the side of his face.
- >"F-fuck that hurts! THAT REALLY HURTS!"
- >You noticed something as he lowered his hand.
- >Blood.
- >You rushed him and started chipping away at the crystals.
- >"No, stop that! Stop that right now!"
- "Nope."
- >You busted open his outer shell.
- >Inside was a grotesque man-shaped thing.
- >Or, the upper half at least.
- >"GAZE UPON ME AND DESPAIR!"
- "The fuck are you?"
- >"... A sad, broken person."
- >He moved his artificial legs, and tried to regrow his arms.
- >"I just wanted to fulfill the dying wishes of a lost civilization, one that had adopted me when I was but a child."
- >He spat out some blood.
- >"Ugh, that tastes awful. Anyway, point is I'm not actually a Crystanok. I don't actually know what I am."
- >You stare into his actual eyes.
- >"All I know is that they told me one name before they died... Anonymous. I figured if I found you I could fix everything."
- >He laughed, "Or at least make them happy."
- >"I'm so tired, I just want to rest. All that pomp and bullshit I said? I was hoping I'd scare you off. Guess I'm not as scary as I thought."
- "You are really good at playing the part of an asshole, how do I know you aren't lying to me right now?"
- >"Because that teleporting has made me too tired to give a shit. That flash of light? That wasn't me exploding you know."
- >He stopped in front of you.
- >"I don't think they sent me to kill you, I think they wanted to give me my final rest."
- >He chuckled, "Who knows? You might actually be my counterpart. We may never know."
- >"I was going to kill myself after I was done with you anyway. The threats to the Dazzlings? Me trying to piss you off."
- "Why do all this? Why not just talk?"
- >"Because every other time I tried to talk to one of you humans they attacked me on sight. Can you really blame them though?"
- "Not really, but why the fuck did your... Crystanoks or whatever mention me? I'm just some guy."
- >"Some guy that managed to kill an artificial Crystanok. Though, had it been the real thing, you wouldn't have survived even half as long."
- "So, what now?"
- >"What do you mean? You kill me. Simple as that."
- >You looked at the pickaxe.
- >And dropped it.
- "No, I'm not you."
- >He started laughing hysterically, "You'd show me mercy? After everything I did?"
- "I believe in second chances, and I'm not going to kill somebody that can't fight back."
- >"Perhaps they sent me to learn a valuable lesson from you."
- "Maybe they did."
- >"So do I get to punch through this guy's chest now?"
- "No dad, although that would be rad I don't want you killing this poor guy."
- >"What do I even do now though? You were the one goal I had in this life. Now I... I don't know what to do."
- >Rarity walked up to him and examined his crystal suit.
- >"Say, did you build this yourself?"
- >He smiled, "Course I did, best damn piece of work I ever did. Took me two hundred and fifty years to perfect the Crystanok's regenerative abilities."
- >"I think I could find some use for you in my line of work dear."
- >"... Yeah, maybe this isn't so bad. Maybe I can atone for my crimes here. Or at the very least, I can give back to society."
- >You worked out some kinks in your joints.
- "Yeah you do that, I'm going home now."
- >"I shall never forget you, Anonymous."
- >That's nice.
- "Come on dad, let's get these girls back to our place."
- >The Twilights were having their farewells to each other.
- >"It was really nice meeting... well, me!"
- >"Yeah, best of luck to you!"
- >Maybe things would be normal again, at least for now.
- >It wasn't long before Pinkie's karaoke party came to your house.
- >All your friends were there.
- >And so was Ore-Dahn.
- >The group had agreed he needed a nickname.
- >You pitched the idea of Jordan.
- >He enjoyed the sound of it.
- >Rarity and Pinkie were joking with him by the punch bowl.
- >Your mom had been a little weirded out by him at first, but after he enjoyed her cookies so much she warmed up to him.
- >Turns out he actually really enjoys interior design, and is good at construction.
- >The destruction must've been torture for him.
- >The girls were all singing songs together.
- >It was kind of touching, after everything that happened.
- >Aria walked over to you and gave you a hug.
- >"Hey, d'you mind if we talk in private? Up in your room?"
- "Sure, what's on your mind?"
- >She shushed you, "Just... come on."
- >The two of you went up to your room and sat on the roof outside your window.
- >"These past couple of weeks have been crazy, haven't they?"
- "Yeah..."
- >You placed your hand on hers.
- "It's funny, I really thought I was gonna die the other day."
- >You smiled.
- "But I knew if I did, it was gonna be for you guys."
- >You pulled her closer to you.
- "And I figured that wouldn't be so bad. Dying for someone you cared about."
- >She rested her head on your shoulder.
- "I'm glad I didn't though, cause that means I get to spend more time with you."
- >"Ah, you're just saying that."
- >She giggled, "Thanks for not dying though. I l-"
- >She cleared her throat, "I lo-"
- >You grasped her chin with your hand and pulled her in for a kiss.
- "I love you too, Aria."
- >She blushed and folded her arms, "Jerk."
- >You laughed and gave her a hug.
- >She closed her eyes and smiled, "Love you Anon. There, I said it."
- >The two of you fell asleep gazing at the stars.
- The End.
