Day Four

>*BEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEPBEEP*

>Your face contorts at the high pitched beeping sound, pulling your from your dreams.

>You see that it's daylight out and you're minus one sleeping dash.

>And why do you smell smoke?

>Then it hits you like a brick.

>Your head cranks over towards the kitchen where all of the girls are panicking.

>The beeping, is from the smoke alarm.

>Instinct takes over and you dive over the couch and into the kitchen.

>You throw open one of the cupboards and pull out some flour and pour it in the flaming, smoking, pan that someone was cooking breakfast in.

>The fire goes out and you open the window to clear out smoke.

>Tearing the batteries out of the smoke alarm, the obnoxious sound dies and you can actually hear yourself think for once this morning.

"So I take it breakfast was a success?" you say sarcastically.

>RD: "We tried to make you breakfast but.."

>She looks over to the mess on the stove.

"Yeah.. It's okay, it's the thought that count really." you smile.

>A banging on your door takes you away from your thoughts.

>"Anon?! What the hell is all the commotion! and why do I smell smoke!?"

>Ooooh shit.

>Landlord.

"Quickly girls into my room! Go! I'll take care of this." you whisper.

>You rush over to your door and crack it open.

"Just a little mishap with breakfast.. that's all."

>"It lasted for 45 minutes.."

>You really slept through that?

"Uhh everythings under control now, sir."

>The landlord quirks his brow and tries to push the door open.

>Your foot stops his advance.

"I said everything's under control.."

>"And I'm your landlord, now let me in."

>He tries to push the door again.

>You stop it with your body this time.

>"Anon.. you let me in or I call the cops."

>He's kinda got you by the balls.

>You begrudgingly move out of the way of the door.

>He stomps in like he owns the damn pl-oh wait.

>He inspects the kitchen, and thankfully there's really no damage.

>"Alright Anon, it seems like you do have it under control."

>*Achoo* a small squeaky sneeze is heard from within the apartment.

>"What was that?"

"What was what?"

>"You didn't just hear someone sneeze?"

"..No?"

>"I know you heard it, it was clear as day."

"I swear I didn't hear anything."

>"Anon you pay for one tennant.. I swear if you're hoarding someone, I want my money or they get out."

>Ohshitohshitohshit.

>He's walking over to the bedroom door!

>What do you do?!

>He opens the door and you sprint over before he sees the girls.

>You stop behind him and look in the room.

>Nothing.

>Huh..?

>He walks in and over to the closet before pulling the door over.

>Your heart is racing 20 miles per minute.

>He closes the closet door and scratches his head.

>Then he checks underneath the bed.

>Still nothing.

>"I guess I am hearing things Anon."

>He tries to clean out his ear with his pinkie.

>Ew.

"And I done with inspection mein feuer?"

>He looks at you like "What the fuck?"

>"Yeah... just clean up that mess in the kitchen."

>He proceeds outside your apartment and closes the door behind him.

>Dodged a bullet there..

>Now.. where the hell did the girls go?

>You turn around and look back into the bedroom to find them all standing there.

"What th- how?"

>PP: "Magic." She says in a flat voice with a shit eating grin on her face.

>You stand there, mouth open.

>The girls walk past you into the living room.

>Dash comes up to your and whispers in your ear.

>RD: "We just hit outside on that fire escape thingy."

>And then pats you on the shoulder before walking out of the room.

>You shrug.

>Well whatever, it worked didn't it?

>You walk over and sit on the couch and turn the TV on.

>Dash of course takes her spot by your side.

>The others just sit wherever they felt comfortable.

------

>You've been sitting here for about an hour now, watching an old clint eastwood movie.

>AJ being the most interested in it.

>Twilights been asking you nonstop questions about cinematography and the wild west.

>Pinkie and Fluttershy are playing cards.

>Rarity is having miniature panic attacks over your selection of clothing you picked up the other day.

>and Dash is buried into your side.

>What an awesome Saturday.

>Kidding, you're bored as fuck.

"Say girls, why don't we do something fun today?"

>PP: "Fun?! Ooooh~ I love fun!"

>Twilight squees like a dog toy.

>TS: "Really?! Oh this is going to be such a learning experience."

>R: "I'd LOVE to see what this places taste in fashion is."

"So it's settled then."

>You go change really quick and tell the girls to do the same.

>After getting around, you, spike, and the girls head out on a fun filled day of wonder.

>First stop.

>The Mall.

>TS: "Where are we going first Anon?"

"It's a Surprise."

>PP: "I like surprises!"

"Heh, I know pinks."

>After a 15 minute drive, you finally arrive at the mall.

>All: "Woooow.."

>R: "Anon darling, what is a "Mall" anyways."

"It's a giant building filled with a lot of shopping outlets and restaurants."

>R:"J-just like the canterlot strip?!"

>Uhh..

"Can't really say, I haven't been there."

>R: "Well, it's really just as you described this place."

"Interesting.."

>Except, this isn't a fancy place with fancy ponie-er people.

>You managed find a parking spot which is surprising.

>Considering it's a Saturday and this is teen hub central.

>The eight of you enter the mall.

>The girls are astounded at the sheer size of this place.

>Can't blame them.

>You just watch and smile.

"Go have fun."

>The girls take off in different directions.

>Dash stays behind with you.

"So what do you want to do first?"

>RD: "I don't know, you're the tour guide." She says playfully.

>You know the perfect place.

>TO THE ARCADE!

>You and dash head over towards the sounds of 8-bit themed music and the clash of fists.

>RD: "We have arcades back in ponyville." She says.

"Well you haven't seen my arcade yet." you grin.

>Dash has never experience the joys of throwing hadouken's at children.

>It's time you change that.

>You enter the neon and fluorescent light filled electronic playground eager to show dash the time of her life.

>You scan the multiple machines and try to decide what you should play first.

>Then one machine stands out from the others.

>Contra, glorious 8-bit contrar.

"This way dash."

>You both head over to the machine and you deposit 2 quarters for yourself and her.

"Okay here's how it works."

>You take control of your battle station.

"This is the analog stick, up, down, left, right, ya know general directions, A is to jump and B is to fire, got all that?"

>RD: "Yep!"

>Before you start the game you put in the oldest cheat code known to mankind.

>99 lives.

"Get ready."

>The game starts up and you're already on a roll taking out every 8-bit bastard you see.

>You were too busy keeping an eye on your score you didn't know that dash was actually beating you.

>porque?

>She has you by over 500,000 points.

>You didn't pay enough attention to your virtual warrior and he died.. for the next 5 minutes.

>Dash is dominating you at this point.

>You finally reach it to the final boss with your 10 lives left.

"Hey dash how many times have you died?"

>RD: "None." she says sticking her tongue out in concentration.

>You look at her in shock, causing you to lose another 5 lives.

>Dash is raping the hell out of the red dick looking motherfucker.

>You stand there with mouth agape.

>Not even caring that you lost all your lives.

"GAME OVER! YOU WIN!"

>Dash just beat you on contra with a 15 million point lead and all on one life.

>Part of you doesn't want to live on this planet anymore.

>The one thing you thought you were good at in life.

>Crushed and scattered in the wind.

"I don't even.."

>RD: "Looks like I beat ya at your own game, Anon, do I get a prize?" She gives you a sly smile.

>This cheeky..

>You want a prize?

"Close your eyes."

>She does and giggles awaiting her gift.

"Boop"

>You boop her on the nose.

>She opens her eyes with a dissapointed look on her face.

>RD: "Really?"

>You smile and cross your arms.

"Really."

>She grabs your head and forces you into a quick kiss.

>RD: "Much better."

>She walks off into the arcade.

>You stand there blushing like an idiot.

>Meanwhile.

-----

>"No ma'am you can't buy candy with balloons." The store clerk says enthusiastically.

>PP: "Aww what not?"

>"Because you buy it with money."

>PP: "But I don't have any money!"

>"Not my problem."

>Pinkie pie stands there and thinks for a moment.

>A lightbulb goes off above her head.

>Literally.

>She runs out of the store in search of Anon.

>Twilight however, is sitting in the food court watching all the people go about their day.

>She has a notepad out in front of her and is jotting down various notes.

>Setting the pencil down she takes a look out into the court of the mall.

>She see's a pink blob running through crowds of people.

>TS: "Pinkie?"

---

>AJ is currently walking the strip passing by all the stores.

>None of them catching her interest.

>Save for one..

>The video store.

>AJ: "I wonder if they got any more of them eastwood movies in there.."

>She proceeds into the video store

----

>Fluttershy is in the middle of the Pet store looking at all the adorable creatures she's used to seeing

>Except, they're not the critters from equestria.

>She spots a labrador puppy in one of the display cages.

>FS: "Aww you're adorable!"

>The pup stares up at shy, little tail wagging behind him.

>She looks up and see's the price for one of the dogs.

>A small sign that reads "Only $699.00!"

>FS: "Oh I don't have any money.." she pouts.

>Then a bright idea pops into her head

>FS: "Maybe anon can help!"

>And off she goes in search for you and your wallet.

>R: "Oh these just look fabulous! The stitching on these are flawless!" She says going through thousands of dresses.

>Rarity is currently doing some browsing at JCPenney.

>She's already grabbed two carts full of dresses and shoes to match.

>Bringing them to check out she plops them down on the counter.

>It's fucking mountain.

>The cash sighs and mumbles to himself.

>"After this I quit"

>About 20 minutes later he finally finishes scanning the last item.

>He rings up the total.

>"That'll be $2,386.35"

>Rarity checks her handbag and realizes she doesn't have any money.

>But realizes Anon does.

>R: "I've seem to have misplaced my bits, I'll be riiight back, good sir.."

>She leaves the store.

>The cashier just looks at the mountain of dresses.

>"Scratch that, killing myself."

------

>Twilight and spike have been following around pinkie for the last half hour.

>TS: "What the heck is she up to?"

>S: "Beats me.."

>She seems to be heading to the place with the "Arcade" sign above it.

>TS: "Maybe she's looking for Anon?"

>S: "I dunno, could be."

>The both of them continue to follow pinkie around the mall.

---

>You and dash are currently walking out of the Arcade right as pinkie walks in, completely oblivious to each other.

>You decided to take dash to a sporting goods store.

>Being athletic and all, you still haven't taught her about human sports.

>Why not now right?

>You bring her to DICK'S SPORTING GOODS.

>Bringing her over to the football section you grab a soccer ball and toss it at dash.

"I think you'd like football, great sport."

>RD: "What's the objective?"

>You proceed to explain the basics of the sport to dash while browsing for more things.

---

>AJ: "Ooh I like this one."

>Applejack has spent her time looking at all the western movies ever made.

>She's even selected some fine choices to bring back to Anon's house.

>Bringing them up to the cashier he gasps and looks at applejack.

>AJ: "What y'all lookin' at partner?"

>"Great cosplay!"

>AJ: "Come again?"

>"Cosplay, you're outfit is so awesome!"

>AJ: "The heck is a cosplay?"

>The cashier screeches like a sperglord.

>"Is this the REAL applejack?"

>AJ is speechless.

>AJ: "..How did you know mah name.." she says in a cold, stern, tone.

>"Come with me I want to show your something!"

>The neckbeard rolls over the counter like a rolling pin and pulls AJ out of the store and drags her along towards the darkest place in the mall.

>Hot Topic.

-----

>You and Dash leave the sporting store, with a newly acquired soccer ball.

>She seems really interested in the sport.

>You promised to sit down and watch a game with her sometime.

>The both of you are walking towards the food court when you spot some fat shit pulling a girl with a stetson behind him.

>OH FUCK.

>You can practically smell the autism from here.

>RD: "Anon who's that with AJ?"

"I don't know but.."

>You look around and then down at the soccer ball.

>An idea pops into your head.

>You take dashes ball and set it in the ground and line up your shot.

>Taking a step back you punt the ball as hard as you can.

>It takes a sharp curve through the air and nails the fat shit right in the head.

>Pic related.

>AJ looks back to see you standing there waving her over.

>She runs over to you and dash, confused at what just happened.

>AJ: "Anon, that guy over there knew who I was.. how?"

>WARNING: PARADOX IMMINENT.

"I really have no idea how, Applejack."

>You throw on the best poker face you can muster.

>AJ: "He said he was takin' me to this place called "Hot Topic" what do ya'll suppose is in there?"

>Your heart drops down to your asshole.

>This could have been easily avoided.

>But there HAS to be been neckbeards in your city.

>Their fucking everywhere.

>Like a plague.

>The other girls are now running over to your group.

>R: "Oh there you are Anon.. I was wondering.."

>FS: "C-could I have some money to buy a puppy?"

>R: *Ehem..* "As I was saying.. Anon dear, I need about 2,386 bit."

>You feel your left eye twitch.

>Pinkie jumps on your back.

>PP: "Yeah can I get some money for some candy too?!"

>TS: "Oh hey Anon and Hi girls!"

>S: "Guess you were right, Twi."

>AJ pushes her way to the front of the group.

>AJ: "I still wanna check this "Hot Topic" Place.."

"Girls! Give me a moment to think here.."

>You feel as if your pockets are about to detonate a 40-ton nuclear spaghetti bomb.

>Enough to level the entire eastern seaboard.

>Looking back over at the downed beast, he's getting up and stomping his way over here spouting bad breath and curses.

>"Hey asshole! What what that for? I'll let you know I have over 300-"

>The situation is quickly going to shit at a rapid rate.

>You have 6 girls pestering you for answers, an angry sperglord coming this way.

>And everyone is watching.

>Alright, enough of this shit.

>Your mind snaps momentarily.

"AHHHHHHHH!"

>You push through the girls and straight at the neckbeard at full speed.

>You then proceed to..

>pic related

>You take him about 10 feet across the room with you.

>You stand up and fix your shirt.

>The girls just stand their, jaws on the floor.

>The manchild groans in pain.

>You kneel down close to his face.

"If I ever see you talking to those girls again, I"m going to beat you senseless and steal your shoes as a trophy, do you understand me?"

>He nods furiously.

"And if I see anymore of your cult friends around here, I'll be back with more soccer balls."

>He gulps before nodding again.

"Good."

>You get up and walk over to the rest of the girls.

>AJ: "What'd ya'll do that fer?"

"He was crazy and had to be put down."

>TS: "Crazy?"

"He's infected with a disease, I didn't want you to catch it."

>The girls squirm in fear.

>TS: "W-what kind of disease?"

"..Autism."

>You look at AJ.

"We'll go to Hot Topic after I take you girls to lunch."

>You start walking to the food court.

>She gives you a stern look before following.

>Here you are, sitting in the food court with the girls.

>You sit in silence and enjoy your fruit smoothie.

>You're really not hungry right now.

>The girls are all enjoying some nice salads, but their eyes never leave you.

>AJ:" So are ya going to tell us what that was really about?"

>You take one last sip of your smoothing and set it down calmly.

"I thought he was going to hurt you AJ." you say in a calm tone of voice.

>RD: "Anon is something the matter? You're acting strange."

"Nope, everything's fine Dash."

>You take one last sip of your smoothing and get up from your chair.

"I'll be right back, I must use the restroom."

>You walk off out of sight.

>Looking back and making sure nobody was behind you, you head off towards the most autistic store in the nation.

>That god forsaken shit hole, Hot Topic.

>You creep up in that bitch and look for every set of brony merch you can find.

>Shirts, Bags, Vinyl figurines, the works.

>You managed to pile them up in a few shopping baskets.

>Walking up the the register you notice the fedora sitting on the cashiers head.

>Son of a fuck..

>"Wow that's a lot of merch! You like my shirt?! It's 20% cooler now that we sell these!"

>You blink.

>And decided to let your body do the talking.

>Your fist finds itself buried in his face like a hatchet.

>The neckbeard goes down for the count.

>You proceed to walk behind the counter, no fucks given.

>You tear off his fucking retarded ass vinyl scratch shirt.

>and then you take his shoes for your trophy case back home.

>Collecting your baskets of merch, you then walk out to the parking garage of the mall.

>You walk behind a section of the garage where you know nobody will see you.

>Somehow you managed to get a can of gasoline at some point and begin pouring it all over the merch.

>Lighting a match, you throw it and watch as it burns up into glorious smoke and flames.

>Mission Accomplished.

>You walk back inside like nothing happened.

>Grabbing some cologne from one of the various placed vendors without anyone noticing.

>You spray it on yourself to cover up the smell of smoke and gasoline.

>Once you think you're adequately bathed, you head back to the food court.

>You look at your watch.

>That only took you 6 minutes?

>Not bad.

>You sit back down as calmly as you were before.

"Sorry about that, now where were we?"

>AJ: "We was talking about how you stampeded that there guy."

"Like I said, I thought he was going to hurt you."

>AJ: "That still don't explain why he knew mah name."

"I seriously couldn't tell you how he knew AJ, either a lucky guess or he's a mind reader."

>PP: "Like me!"

>Yes pinkie, like you.

>AJ just stares you down like one of those western movies.

>You're simply not in the mood for this shit today, so you shoot her a calm look back, unflinching.

>She tries to read through your lies but fails in the attempt.

>AJ: "We're still going to hot topic."

"Fine, let's go right now."

>You get up from your seat.

>The others just watch the two of you exchange glances.

>Their not sure what to think, or say.

>Rainbow is the most concerned of all.

>She know's something is up with anon.

>You lead the mane 6 to the place you basically just robbed.

"Go ahead, take a gander." you say calmly.

>You hear cell phone go off somewhere in the store.

>It's coming from behind the counter.

>While the girls are looking around, you go back over to the unconscious brownie and take the phone out of his pocket.

>You hit answer.

>"Dude! The mane six are REALLY here! You have to help me find them! I got tackled by some jackass that told me to stay away from him, fuck that."

>This little shit..

>You whisper into the phone.

"What did I tell you would happen if you didn't stay away from these girls."

>The voice goes quiet on the other line.

>"Y-you?!"

"I will murder each and every one of you if you try that, I've been meaning to expand my trophy case lately."

>"I'm still getting my friends and we'll find you and those girls!" he shouts.

>You hang up the phone and walk over to the girls.

"So you see anything you like?"

>R: "These fashion designs are simply HORRID, I will not waste my time even touching them."

>AJ: "Ah don't see anything either, guess that guy was full of it.."

>Phew..

"Well then, are we set to go? I think I just want to go home and watch movies for the rest of the night."

>RD: "I like the sound of that idea." she smiles.

"C'mon."

>You lead the girls out of the store and make way towards the exit where you came in.

>Making it to the door, you see a reflection in the glass.

>There's a massive group of people coming this way.

>and they're all wearing fedoras and pony merch.

>You metaphorically put a gun to your head and pull the trigger.

>Quickly you head out the door with the girls.

>Speed walking to your car, the girls are trying to keep up.

>You go to open the car door, but drop your keys.

>Fuckfuckfuck.

>Scrambling to grab them you fumble over them and use the wrong key.

"Cooome ON!"

>You find the right key and unlock the door.

"Get it." You say in a commanding tone.

>The girls are reluctant but get in anyways.

>You start the engine and peel out.

>Then the mob blocks your exit from the car.

>Thankfully you're far enough away where you can't make out what's on their shirts.

>You think this will stop you? Standing in my way?

>Fat fucking chance.

>You push down on the gas pedal.

>RD: "Anon.."

>She says concerned.

>TS: "What are you doing?!"

"Their in my way, so I'm making them move."

>Let's see if these fuckers like playing chicken.

>You hit 70 mph just as you're closing in on the wall of autists.

>They dive out of the way at the last moment as you drift around the corner and hightail it down the street.

>RD: "Okay Anon, now I KNOW something is definetly wrong.. you better start talking."

>You look at dash with guilt on your face.

>She frowns a little.

>RD: "Anon.. please tell me what's wrong."

>You try and form words but nothing comes out of your mouth.

>You want to tell them.. but you can't sum up the words to do it.

>Then you notice something in your rear view mirror

>You take a closer look.

>..Seriously?

>There's an entire convoy of prius's behind you.

>All blaring their horns.

>Do these faggots ever give up?

>You look at dash.

"I'm sorry but this is gonna really have to wait."

>You look up at the mirror again, this time the girls see what you see.

>TS: "Anon, why are there other cars chasing us?"

"They won't be for long."

>You tighten your grip on the steering wheel.

"Hang on."

>Stomping on the gas pedal you hit speeds that would get anyone pulled over in an instant.

>Hitting 90 mph you dodge various oncoming traffic in attempts to get away from the neckbeard convoy.

"These guys are the worse kind of people, I will NOT let them get their hands on you girls."

>The girls, obviously, are confused because they still have no fucking idea what's going on.

>You take a sharp left and double back where you came.

>You see the convoy pass by from the other street you're on.

>You find the nearest alleyway and park deep within it.

>You shut off the engine and get out of the car.

>Putting your hands behind your head you start walking around in circles.

>Contemplating what the fuck you're going to tell the girls.

>The girls get out and stand there with you.

>RD: "Anon, you're making me worry." she pouts.

>AJ: "Why are them people followin' us?!"

>TS: "Something just doesn't add up.."

>Your hands drop to your side and you take a deep, deep breath.

>You look at the girls, and then dash.

"I-I'm sorry." you say, trying to keep yourself from choking up.

>RD: "Sorry for what!"

"There's no easy way to say this.."

>You gulp.

"But half the world knows who you girls are."

>They all stand there for a moment and let that sink in..

>TS: "H-how is that even possible?" she says, confused

>Taking one last look at dash you lower your head in guilt.

>You just hope the universe doesn't implode for saying this..

>Welp here goes nothing.

"Well you see there's a certain television show here in this world.."

>They lean in.

"That just so happens.."

>They're inching closer to you, expectant of an answer.

"...To have you as it's main characters."

>They blink twice.

>All: "Huh?"

>You see multiple heads turn sideways in confusion.

"and.. It's called My Little Pony: Friendship is magic."

>The girls are speechless.

>TS: "You're joking Anon.. Right? haha..?"

>PP: "I don't think he's joking Twilight.. I know when somebody makes a joke." she said in a sad tone.

>You remain silent and stare at your shoes.

>An eerie silences fills the air.

>Rainbow walks over to you, the sight of disappointment ever present on her face.

>RD: "A-anon..? is this true?"

"..Yes."

>She lets your answer soak in for a moment.

>RD: "Why didn't you tell us this before?"

"Well.. I.. I just couldn't.."

>Dash gets slightly annoyed with your answer.

>RD: "So.. we're just some sideshow act?! How long have you known about this?"

>You still remain silent looking away.

>You can't look her in the eyes.. you're too scared.

>This time she gets more angry than annoyed.

>RD: "Look at me.. I said look at me!"

>She grabs you by your chin and pulls you to face her.

>RD: "Why didn't you tell us!"

>You choke up, you never wanted this, you never wanted them to find out.

>But here you are, caught in that very trap.

>RD: "Tell me!"

>You feel yourself becoming angry.

"BECAUSE I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU."

>You shout at the top of your lungs.

>Dash steps back a bit at your outburst, the girls too.

"Do you know what would have happened if I told you? There could have been a great risk in doing that."

>You pace back and forth.

"For all I know the universe could have just vanished if I told you or you could have gotten hurt or worse! and I DIDN'T WANT THAT." You snap at the girls.

>You can see dash on the verge of tears.

>Walking up to you, you grab her and pull her into a hug.

"..And because most of all, I love you dash.. and I didn't want to see anything happen to you."

>AJ steps in.

>AJ: "So those guys back there.."

"They're fans of the show.. and you."

>Applejack seems mortified at the statement and visibly shudders.

>You walk off clutching your head, on the verge of tears, not from being sad.

>But for being angry at yourself.

"I.. I had to protect you from the truth.."

>You look back at the girls.

"I'm so sorry.."

>You turn around and start walking away.

>Dash runs up and grabs your wrist.

>RD: "You're not going anywhere."

>You look down at her, anger still slightly present on her features.

"Let go dash.."

>RD: "No!"

"I've probably just ruined the friendship we all had, I really doubt you want anything to do with me."

>You break your wrist free from her grip and continue to walk off.

>This time dash tackles you and pins you to the ground.

>RD: "What part of you're not going anywhere did you not understand?"

"I've pretty much lied to all your faces and you still want me here? WHY!?"

>Dash smacks the shit out of you.

>RD: "BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, YOU BIG IDIOT."

"W-what?"

>RD: "Yeah you lied to us, yes I'm very angry at you for hiding the truth from us, but I still love you and appreciate all you've done.."

>AJ: "Shoot if I didn't know any better I'd say we'd be completely up the creek without a paddle if it weren't for you Anon."

>TS: "You've brought us all together when we needed each other the most!"

>FS: "And we're v-very grateful for that.."

>R: "You're quite the friend Anon."

>PP: "And we'll never leave your side!"

>Okay now you're confused.

"I don't deserve your friendships.. let alone your compassion."

>RD: "Stop putting yourself down!"

"No! I feel as if I've committed the worst act a man can ever commit and it hurts me so much because.."

>RD: "Because why?"

"I-I'm afraid to lose you.."

>A single tear runs down your cheek.

>Dash gets off of you and allows you to stand up.

>She then quickly wraps her arms around you and squeezes tightly.

>You return the hug in full force.

>RD: "You're not going to get rid of me and my friends so easily, egghead." she says as tears stream down her face.

>You look into her eyes and smile, wiping away her tears and kissing her on the forehead.

"I was hoping you would say that.."

>You revel in this moment for a little while.

>RD: "We're continuing this conversation when we get home though.."

"Fair enough."

>The sound of something hitting against metals draws you from your moment with dash.

>You whip your head around trying to locate where it came from.

>*BANG*

>What the fuck is that coming from?

>*BANG*

>You turn to a closed lid dumpster.

>Breaking off with dash you walk over to investigate it.

>RD: "Anon what's up?"

"I think there's something in this dumpster.."

>You go to open the lid but it flies open before you get a chance.

>???: "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

>Something rather small and soft latches onto your face.

"AHHHHH! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!"

>You slip on a empty can of beans and fall backwards, hitting your head on the concrete.

>Everything goes fuzzy.

>Once your eye sight goes back to focus you see something standing over you.

>It's Green.

>And there's a hint of mint.

>Mane 6: "LYRA?!"

>L: "HI!" She smiles so bright it could blind anyone who stares right into it.

>Wait what.

"..Lyra?"

>L: "Hiya!" she says gleefully while jumping up and down.

"How did you.."

>L: "Mirror!" she continues her bouncing.

"But why aren't you ya know.. Human?"

>She stops her bouncing midair and shrugs.

>L: "I dunno."

>She continues with her bouncy bouncy.

>You look at the girls, then to Lyra, then to the girls again.

"Uhh.. I think we've got another problem on our hands.."
