- PROMPT:
- >"HI Nonny! I have a message for you from Rarity!"
- >Pinkie sticks out her chest, puts on a spiteful face and adopts a familiar yet certainly made-up accent
- >"I've had it up to here with Sweetie Belle spending her evenings at the arcade, playing... "video games". When I said she needed a male role model, well, Anon isn't what I had in mind. He's so carefree. And lazy. And boyish, and reckless. Not to mention he thinks he's SO good with kids. I can make Sweetie laugh."
- >Pinkie crosses her arms and huffs
- >"I could make her laugh until she cried. I'm just busy. There's no time in my schedule for telling childish jokes to my sister."
- >She huffs even louder
- >"And what is WITH his hair? Frankly, it's embarrassing. Spending time with someone of his... standards... is undoubtedly bad for Sweetie."
- >...
- >"Anyway, he's waiting to pick her up at her piano lessons. Be a dear and relay this to him?"
- >Pinkie spins around and walks five feet before tensing up
- >"Oh, but take out all those mean things I said. We wouldn't want to hurt his feelings."
- >Pinkie nods her head and beams in satisfaction with her accurate retelling
- >Then her eyes bulge
- >As Pinkie performed her incredulous and funny display I kept a straight face although the urge to burst out laughing like a filled balloon was hard to fend off
- >She must have gone through this song and dance six or so times now by my count but after the third time it becomes more about gossip than actual instruction
- "Listen go tell Rarity I know she doesn't approve of me but let her know I'm still the only babysitter that charges for that little."
- "Stingy ponies" I muttered afterward pausing and looking at the pink mare again "Don't tell her I said that"
- >"Okee dokee!" Pinkie bubbled and bounded off towards the boutique in her normal Pinkie Pie fashion
- >As the door closed Sweetie Belle came up to you with a curious look
- >"Who was that?"
- "Oh just Pinkie Pie"
- >"You know she comes over a lot and" The filly gasps loudly "Anon do you have a crush on Pinkie Pie" she teases
- Your eyes roll at the accusation but a small smile finds its way upon your face
- "No Sweetie Belle, she just likes to say hi"
- >"Then why does she say hi several times a day?"
- "Oh you know, it's just Pinkie." I squatted to match her height the best I could "C'mon wanna do some coloring?"
- >Besides going to the arcade Sweetie Belle always loved coloring although her amalgamations of color weren't the most sightly
- >"Did you bring the coloring book?" She asked with excited eyes
- "Yep" I said and pulled out a small pink tinted coloring book I had bought from a comic book shop back on earth
- >In the book is full of pictures of the Crusaders doing various activities, Sweetie loved it and Rarity hated it
- >I guided her to a couch with a coffee table she was able to color on and set down the book and an assortment of colored pencils
- >Her little white horn burst to life with it's green aura and quickly turned to an uncolored page featuring the Crusaders on stage performing
- >"Anon you're the best babysitter EVER"
- "Eh I try"
- >She continued coloring the pages in her own sparratic but strangely rhythmic motions. She really wasn't like the other fillies in Ponyville
- >No Sweetie Belle had a special brand of adorable not many could pull off, only unique to her
- "How has school been?"
- >"It's been great! We're learning about bugs. I think they're icky but Miss Cheerlie says we need bugs. How can anypony like bugs?"
- "Yeah bugs are gross. Except the space bugs, they're fun."
- >One of my favorite things was to make up things and tell them like they're true. This particular fib was one of my ongoing ones about space lore. I originally modeled it after Starcraft and the Alien movies.
- >"Space bugs!?" she perks up with big emerald eyes with their normal spark of joy
- "You don't know about the space bugs?"
- >"No, tell me about them. Please please pleaaase?" she pleaded with me. She always pleaded when she wanted to know more about things. Especially my stories
- "The spacebugs are evil things that try and ki-" I cleared my voice, perhaps she was too young to learn about death "Try and beat the humans in a game of paintball. They can fly and shoot laser beams"
- >"REALLY!?" she exclaimed with even wider eyes
- "Yeah! When you hit one they explode in a green cloud and uhh- respawn at their mothership"
- >"I had no idea bugs could be so cool! Do they really have a spaceship! Can I see it?"
- "Yes they really do but I can't show you it. They're really far away and you can't see them"
- >"Rats" she pouted and crossed her pillow white arms and balancing surprisingly well in her sitting position. She's obviously crossed done this before
- >"Anon can you draw me one of those bugs to color?"
- "Uhh sure. I'll get you some by Monday."
- >"Monday!? That's like forever!" she complained
- "It's only four days, you'll survive. Besides you still have a lot of your book left" I pointed to the book she was still coloring although the dark lines have been ignored and her pencils laid dormant on the paper
- >"Anon can we play swords? I think I'm done coloring"
- >Swords was an interesting game also one of her favorites. Rarity hated Swords because she thought it was too "Boyish"
- >As the name implies swords is pretty simple. We sword fight with these plastic light sabers.
- >How I got these you asked? Well it started when I told Sweetie Belle about Star Wars and she thought the light sabers were really cool and wanted to fight with them. So; naturally we went to Twilight. I gave her a description and she summoned two of them
- >Anyways I fished the swords out a blueish bag I brought from home. I keep all my babysitting stuff in there
- >As I did that the filly's face lit up and took the green saber from my hands with her magic
- >She liked the green one because her magic color is green. Naturally I took the red one as she wanted a "bad guy" to fight
- "Sweetie Belle! My arch nemesis. Prepare to fight me!" I said in a lowered voice.
- >Sweetie giggled at me "You evil man! I will defeat you!" she cried
- >She started to swing her sword fast and violently at me with a large smile upon her small white face
- >She wasn't the best swordsman so it was pretty easy to block. Blocking is really all I did when we fought since if I attacked it wouldn't really be fair.
- >The crack of plastic on plastic rang out through my rather small house
- >With each thrust she let out a determined cry which I always found funny
- >Sabers clashed for about a minute before I could tell she was tired; and I let her hit me
- "Aaaauuurrgggh you got me!"
- >"I have won this battle!" she yelled as she pressed the sword to my chest
- "You were a good opponent Master Sweetie Belle."
- >"Haha! You were not a challenge for me!" she jeered. After her jest I made a rather odd noise and lolled my tongue out while turning my head to the left
- "Alright Sweetie Belle that's enough" I said and got up from my position on the ground
- >"What are we gonna do now?"
- "I have a new game but we need more people. How about you go run along and get your friends"
- >She had a confused look at first but then turned into a pearly white smile at the realization her friends would get to meet me
- "Oh and Sweetie Belle. I'll be gone for a bit so play a game or two with them!" I called after her. She gave a muffled "Ok" as she was dashing through the square
- >Now it was time for my errand. One I wouldn't enjoy making. For my game I had to pay a visit to Sweetie Belle's older sister; Rarity. Rarity hated me, said I was too boyish and teaching Sweetie Belle bad manners.
- >That was probably true but she was having fun, and I enjoyed seeing her smile.
- >I headed out the door into the bright and colorful town of Ponyville
- >There never seemed to be a dull moment in this land of multicolored ponies
- >The entire place bounded with color and an indescribable zest of life.
- >Even Rarity's boutique kept the wonderful aura everywhere else had
- >With each of my steps upon the soft green grass my stomach churned and twisted with anxiety
- >Normally I never had a problem with talking to others but Rarity was special. I don't exactly know why but I always felt sick around her.
- >Taking a deep breath I opened the purple door and was greeted with the abundance of pink within
- "Rarity!" I called
- >I heard the soft and ladylike steps above and soon was greeted with the white mare standing atop the stairs with a polite but fake smile.
- >"Oh hello. How may I help you today?"
- "I uhh need some fabric"
- >"Have you decided to take up sewing?"
- "Heh not exactly. I'm uhh doing a game with Sweetie Belle and her friends"
- >"Ah of course. What colors would you like?"
- "I'll need some black, red, blue, and a light purple I think"
- >"What are you planning to do with these?" she asked as she sifted through the fabrics in store
