It's okay, it's the thought that count really." you smile.     >A banging on your door takes you away from your thoughts.     >"Anon?!

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..

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.."
