>PP:"So my family down in the south gave me these pretty rock necklaces for us to have as a sign of our friendship! Isn't that neat?" >AJ:"Mah family used to do somethin' similar when ah was little, before... well you know. Ah used to love makin' apple decorations." >FS:"That all sounds wonderful, getting together with your family for Thanksgiving while also participating in activities." >RD:"It was just me and my dad this year. We had fun cracking jokes and talking about all the idiots who play football. He always says he can kick their ass any day." >R:"My sister and I have been getting along a lot more recently, thanks to a certain someone." >PP:"Speaking of Anon, where is he? Applejack? Sunset?" >SS:"We were talking just before, but he just stopped all of a sudden a minute ago." >RD:"Is he still in there?" >SS:"Let me see..." >"Anon, you in there still?" ... >"Hello, Equestria to Anon. Anyone home?" ... >"Anon, you're scaring me." ... >SS:"He's not answering." >PP:"Maybe he left without you realizing?" >AJ:"No way, some of us would have seen him leave." >R:"What could be wrong with him?" >SS:"I don't know. Was it something we said?" >RD:"We didn't even say anything to him!" >FS:"Maybe he feels alone?" >R:"oh pish posh, we're all gathered around in my room, discussing things like normal friends. How can he feel alone?" >SS:"Well, no one talked to him this entire time except for me." >AJ:"What were you two talkin' about anyway?" >SS:"Nothing much, really. Just about this weird thing you all celebrate. What is Thanksgiving anyway?" >AJ:"Well, to avoid talkin' about it's history, its a holiday where everyone gets together with their family and eat a whole bunch of food, and when ah mean family, I mean ALL of them." >FS:"Wait, has anyone ever heard Anon talk about his family?" >R:"Of course! He must be down in the dumps because he didn't get to see his family. If that's the case, what did he do yesterday?" >SS:"We hung out all day talking to each other, pulling pranks on people, and... other things." >R:"That settles it, he must miss his family! Oh, the poor thing must be sulking after hearing us ramble on about our own relatives." >RD:"If he misses them so much, why didn't he go and see them? I mean, I know he's a ghost, but at least he can see his family, just to check up on them." >FS:"Maybe he doesn't want to talk about it." >PP:"Oh, Nonny, I'm so sorry for not thinking about your feelings! I'll bake you forty cakes to make up for it." >SS:"Pinkie! You're... crushing... me... let go!" >PP:"Oh, sorry Sunset." >AJ:"Why don't we just ask him about it?" >R:"Splendid idea, Applejack! Anon, if you're in there, tell us about your family, if you want to." "Anon?" >You are Anon... >and you've been dreading this.   SS:"So, you want me to talk about this, huh?" >they all nod SS:"Well, here we go..." >you take a deep breath >everyone leans in to hear you speak >and... SS:"IDon'tWantToTalkAboutItOkBye." >you leave Sunset's body and fly into Rarity's bathroom >R:"Anon, wait!" >SS:"Where are you going?!" Leave me alone >you stare into Rarity's mirror >AJ:"Sugarcube, you do realize we can just open the door, right?" If you respect my privacy, I know for a fact you won't. >AJ:"Then you don't know me too well." >R:"Wait, Applejack, don't do it." >You see your reflection, even though you're a spirit >AJ:"Why not? He's obviously hidin' somethin' from us. If he really didn't want to talk to us, he would have left your house." >R:"That's true, but you can't just force him to talk." >You see your face >SS:"Will you two stop arguing already?" >RD:"What is he even saying? In fact, why does he only allow you three to see him? I'm getting real tired of him doing that, you know." >You see his face >FS:"Rarity's right, though. If Anon needs time to talk about this, then give him that time." >PP:"Yeah, Nonny hasn't told us anything about his past, so this must be hard for him!" >His disgusting face before he left >SS:"That's why I want all of you to be quiet! He probably can't think straight with all the yelling." >R:"Quite right, Sunset. Everyone, just let him be for the time being." >He left you when you needed him the most >AJ:"Alright, but if he doesn't come on out twenty minutes, I'm makin' sure he talks." >SS:"And how would you physically make a spirit talk? You can't even touch him." >You start punching the mirror, but your fists just go right thought the glass >SS:"Wait, I think I hear something." >R:"Is that... grunting?" >even though he said his goodbyes, he never came back for you >AJ:"What in sam hell is goin' on in there?" >RD:"I've been asking that this whole time!" >You can't even hold your voice in anymore >SS:"Anon, are you alright?" BROTHEEEEEEEEER!   >AJ:"Alright, that's it!" >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDFPh-1KGCw >you hear Applejack open the door >it doesn't matter to you, though >you just want to beat that stupid face in >R:"Anon, what's wrong?!" >Why won't he take any damage? >AJ:"He looks like he's punchin' air. What's wrong with him?!" >R:"Anon, calm down. Why are you like this?" >why did he leave? >why didn't he come back? >why were you left alone with your damn dirty mother?! Why won't you go down already! >wait... you don't see his face anymore >why is Sunset in front of you? >...your fist is going through her head >SS:"Anon, its alright." Why... why did he leave? >SS:"Who left?" why was I alone? >R:"Anon, darling, you're not alone." I... I can't believe he never came back. >SS:"Anon, look at me. Who are you talking about?" All this bullshit talk about family, and he never even came back like he promised. >R:"Anon, who is this man you're talking about." >you turn to face Rarity WHAT IS A MAN?! A miserable little pile of secrets, that's what! He was lying through his teeth with everything he said. >AJ:"Anon, just answer the question dammit. Who are you talking about?!" >SS:"Don't hold it in. I know what its like to keep everything bottled up, Anon." >you turn to look at Sunset again Do you know what its like to feel abandoned by the person you looked up to? To feel betrayed by him? To feel nothing but rage towards him?" >SS:"...Yes." Then... then you know the pain, huh?" >SS:"All too well. Now tell us, who are you talking about?" >the man who screwed everything up >the man who decided to leave instead of stay and protect you my...my... >SS:"Say it!" My brother, Caesar   >SS:"You have a brother?" ... >R:"I knew it!" >AJ:"About Anon havin' a brother?" The orphanage. You picked it up there, huh?" >R:"The way you handled Rumble was not unlike taking care of an actual brother. You knew how to calm him down and bring his spirits up with ease, so how could I not put the pieces together?" >SS:"Wait, so you knew he had a sibling?" >R:"It was only a guess..." Well, you guessed correctly. I have a brother that's seven years older than me. >AJ:"It seemed like you have a deep hatred for him, though. How can you hate your own family member?" You... have no idea how bad things were. >R:"Anon, dear, may we take this into the other room? I'm all ears for you right now, but it would be better suited in a larger area than... a bathroom." Alright... but can you please tell the others to vacate the room please >SS:"Anon, you're surrounded by friends, they can-" No... I only talk about things like this with those I can fully trust. >SS:"...ok. Rarity, Applejack, tell them to hang out in the living room for now." >RD:"Oh no, we're not!" >you see the other three girls peeking into the room >RD:"You're our friend, Anon. You can trust us with anything." >FS:"You've helped us all with our own problems, now its time for us to return the favor." >PP:"Nonnyyyyyyy, I just want to help, is that so wrong?" >they're showing affection >they want to help you... >you float into the other room and land on Rarity's bed >can you really trust everyone else? >SS:"Anon, are you going to reveal yourself?" >they are your friends >you can trust all of them >...they are there for you >RD:"No way..." >PP:"You did it!" >FS:"You believe in us now?" Yes... >FS:"Glad to hear it, Anon. Now, tell us what's troubling you so much?" >PP:"We heard Rarity say something about a brother?" Everyone... gather around. Its... about time I explained myself to you all.   I had a life before all of this, that's obvious. Let me ask you, did any of you know I went to CHS? >AJ:"Ah think you may have mentioned things no one would know unless you were a student. Ah guess I didn't think about it." I didn't have any friends in school. I was alone with no one to count on. Everyone I tried to talk to avoided me... >R:"I find that hard to believe, Anon. After everyone here got to know you, we all realized how... interesting you can be, not counting your ghost powers, of course." That's nice, tell that to most people I've met. After a while, I just stopped talking to people. I never acted out, nor did I give people reactions, so no one bothered me after a while. >SS:"But that doesn't explain anything about your family." Actually, it does. Even though I tried to make friends, I still had my family to count on, specifically my older brother, Caesar. >FS:"That would mean your brother was always there for you, right?" Yeah... he was. For my early childhood, he would always help me, play with me, protect me anyone who would try to hurt me... >PP:"He must have really loved you then. Its almost like he was a parent than a brother, which sounds a little silly." I never really thought about it that way. He kind of was my father, in a sense. I never knew my father, though. He ditched my family when I was born. I was the only one to never know what he was like, but then again, since he was so ready to leave his family, do I really want to know? >SS:"So you looked up to your brother because of how much he took care of you. What about your mother?" Drug addict. Let's just say she got desperate for all that crap, so I never looked to her for anything. >R:"That's... terrible." At least she never did anything to me directly. She mostly just went to work, went home, did the usual shit, went to bed, repeat. Somehow, she would forward money into a bank account so I can buy food, clothes, all that good stuff. She was terrible, but not worthless. >SS:"It doesn't seem like you're too broken up about her then. Let's go back to Caesar. You mentioned something about him leaving you." Caesar... that lying piece of crap. Right when he graduated High School, he left to go to college in some weird place I never heard of. I was only eleven at the time... >FS:"how old are you now?" Sixteen... Its been five years since he left. I've been mostly relying on myself for everything, along with money from my mother. I may have been living... but I wasn't happy. >SS:"That explains the loneliness." >AJ:"How can someone just leave his family like that?! Ah know it was to get an education to further his own life, but he must have realized how bad your situation would be without him!" >PP:"That must have been why he never had friends! His brother was there for him, why would he need anyone else?" Exactly. I used to fail at making friends, but I would always just shrug it off. After that day, however... it got a little bit more tough. I tried a couple more times, no one cared for a wimp like me, so I stopped being social. >SS:"so you accepted being alone until you became a spirit and met us." Yeah, I'd rather not talk about that part in detail, but you're still right. That's really all there is to say about my past, everything else is not really important. >R:"Please, darling, there must be more to this that you're letting on." >FS:"Rainbow Dash... you've been awfully quiet." >RD:"You're... you're just like him! That guy I saw who did all those crazy basketball moves, his face was exactly like yours!" Yup, that was Caesar. Me and him would always play basketball together, but I would always lose. He tried to make me tough, but I was always kind of a frail kid, so it never worked. >RD:"That's how you knew that technique..." Yup, Caesar was always good at using breathing techniques to enhance himself before doing anything sports related. I leanred a thing or two from him, but it wasn't much. >PP:"Hold on a sec, I've been thinking." And? >PP:"You're family is still around, right?" Yes, why do you ask? >PP:"Well, why don't we all visit them? You know, help give you closure?"   That's out of the question, Pinkie >PP:"Why? It seems like a good idea. You can see what became of your relatives after... well, you know." >AJ:"Pinkie's right. You snapped while we were talkin' about family. Ah don't know about you, but that tells me you still feel somethin' towards them." Do you really that's a good idea? They've been nothing but trouble for years now. Give me one good reason to see my mother again. >PP:"I... well... I'm going to need a cupcake to help me think of something." >she pulls out a cupcake from... out of nowhere and starts eating it >R:"Well, there is a one reason I can think of." This should be good. >R:"Tell me, is there really nothing you miss back when you were alive?" Um... none that I can think of right now >R:"Are you sure about that? No clothes, electronics, pictures, anything?" ...Ok, there's quite a few things I miss, what about it? >R:"A good parent would keep things from their child after they're gone, so maybe we can go there and... buy some from your mother." Rarity, she's a drug addict. She most likely sold all of my stuff to get even more of that garbage. Besides, who in the right mind would sell anything belonging to their dead son? >R:"All it takes is a little push, darling." That didn't sound creepy at all. Just going there to get some of my old stuff, right? >everyone nods *sigh* I'm going to regret this. >R:"Splendid, darling! It's still the morning, so we can do this today, if you want." The sooner we get this done, the better. So, what's the plan?   >R:"As I said before, we can always just persuade your mother into selling some of your belongings to us." Now that I really think about that... it doesn't seem like a bad idea. She always did everything she could to get more money. >RD:"So that's the plan now, right?" >AJ:"Ah guess so. Since its Rarity's idea, we can let her do all the talking." >PP:"Alrighty then, let's go!" >FS:"Anon, are you feeling any better?" Yeah... a little bit better. Sorry about over reacting from all this, I'm not too sure what came over me." >SS:"All that pent up anger can make us do crazy things." >PP:"Like going into a new world with the intent of becoming an unstoppable monster and showing everyone what a Raging Demon is?" >SS:"...Yes, Pinkie, like that." Pent up anger, huh? Sounds about right. Still, doesn't excuse my outburst, forcing you all to worry for me, and ruining a nice, heartwarming conversation. >R:"That's what friends are for, darling. You experience the best of times, and the worst of times." >AJ:"Yeah, Rarity goes a little nutty over small things, and you don't see us gettin' all mad at her." Then I guess its excusable for the time being. Alright, let's be on our way. >FS:"You're sure everything is alright now? We don't want to push you or anything." I'm fine, see? >you float above all of them and put on a big grin Now let's get this done. I wouldn't want to let all my stuff collect even more dust.   *10 minutes of walking later* >RD:"This... is where you live?" Before I met you girls, yes it was. Home Sweet Home... >R:"It looks horrible!" >she's not wrong >the outside of the house is in shambles >your family never took care of the exterior >paint chipping off the walls >roof looks like its going to collapse sometime soon >just like how you left it You're right, Rarity, it looks like shit. At least the inside isn't nearly as bad. >R:"I hope you're right..." >SS:"Now that we're here, how are we going to go about getting Anon's belongings?" Well first off, I need to see if its all there. I'll be back in a sec. >you fly into the house and enter your old room >...it looks exactly the same >nothing has been touched >your old computer, some books, video games, clothes >its all exactly as you left it >no one has been in here since you've left... >looks like your mother didn't care much >sounds about right >you fly back to the girls and give them the news Its all there, not a damn thing is missing >PP:"That means we might be able to get all of your old stuff, right?" Maybe, I don't know. I can't believe I've been gone this long and my room has not been touched at all. >FS:"Maybe your mother is keeping everything the same because she's grieving over the loss of her son?" I highly doubt that. Maybe she never bothered to do anything about her own missing son. >AJ:"Anon, ah think you might be exaggeratin' things." You'll see what I'm talking about. Rarity, you're up. >R:"Alright girls, find someplace to hide while I go and talk to Anon's mother. I doubt she would be fond of a group of people coming to her door. Anon, would you be so kind as to accompany me?" Sure, inside you or next to you? >R:"Well, since we will most likely want to communicate with each other, I would suggest entering me." >you comply with Rarity's advice and enter her body >RD:"Wow, that looked pretty weird." >AJ:"You get used to seein' it." >you and Rarity start walking towards your house as the others hide behind some nearby bushes Any idea how you're going to pull this off? >"Relax, darling. I know of a trick or two that might get your mother's interest." >Rarity walks up to the porch, gets to the door, and rings the doorbell I wonder if she looks the same >"You haven't been dead for too long. How different could she look?" >you see the doorknob turn >oh shit, here we go >the door opens up >your mother is standing in front of Rarity >again, nothing is different >same old looking clothes, same short, black hair, same face that belongs on someone older >she may be forty seven, but she looks sixty >don't do drugs, kids >"That is your mother?!" Looks like she's been through hell, huh? That's her normal look, by the way. >"How could she keep her clothes that way!? That hair... oh dear, I may vomit just from the sight of it." Focus, Rarity. >"Right. Anon, I don't believe you ever told us her name." Leona. Her name is Leona Lombardi >"Oh my, Anon, I didn't realize your family was-" >L:"Can I help you?" >R:"Miss Lombardi, pleasure to make your acquaintance, my name is Rarity, and I am here t-" >*SLAM* >the door was shut in front of Rarity's face That went well. >"Let's... try that again, shall we?" >Rarity rings the doorbell again >again, your mother comes to the door >L:"Are you from the state?" >R:"Uh... no, I am here to ask you for something that might be of interest to you." >L:"Now many things interest me anymore, how could this be any different?" >R:"I am aware that you may be carrying some unwanted items in your house. If you would be so kind as to let me in, I'm sure we could talk about this more." >L:"Are you here to try and make money off of me?" >R:"Quite the contrary. I am simply here to relieve you of anything you have no desire to keep. I... work for a company who sends saleswomen like myself to people's doorsteps and exchange anything they have for some money." >L:"Alright, show me your license." >oh fuck >R:"Um... my what?" >L:"If you're doing all this shit, then you must have a license to show for it." >R:"W-Well... er... I..." >*SLAM* >there goes that door again >"I did not expect that to happen." Neither did I. For a second there, I thought this stupid plan would work. Maybe we should go back and talk with the others. >Rarity seems to listen as she starts to walk away >She goes behind the bushes to where everyone else is currently >you decide to leave Rarity's body as well >AJ:"Well?" >R:"We may have run into a slight problem." >PP:"What kind of problem? Does it involve not being able to get any of Nonny's stuff?" Exactly that. My mother was able to see right through Rarity's facade. >SS:"What exactly happened?" >R:"I was trying to pass myself off as some kind of saleswoman of sorts. When she asked for any kind of license..." She had nothing to show for it. >RD:"So that's that? We're just going to give up? Come on, there's got to be something we can do. We want Anon's old stuff so he can be a bit happier, right? So come on, let's think of something!" >FS:"But what can we do? No one here can buy anything from Anon's mother without being an actual salesman, or at least something similar. No one here can do anything like that, so... why is everyone staring at me? Can you all stop staring?"   *Noon* >FS:"Are you sure he can do this? He's only ever worked at a store." >PP:"Anon said he was super duper good at what he does." >FS:"But that was only at the store he works at, I'm not sure..." >RD:"Quiet, he's ringing the doorbell." >you're not sure if this will work >but its the only "normal" way to get your stuff back You sure you can handle this? >"Are you kidding me? I've been waiting for this kind of opportunity. A chance to see if my training has really paid off." I've never seen someone so enthusiastic about something like this >"Enough chit chat, here comes a potential customer." >L:"Can I help you?" >D:"Greetings, madam, how are you this fine day?" >L:"I'm annoyed by all you people showing up at my doorstep." >D:"All you people? Have there been more than one traveling salesman at your door?" >L:"Yes, and the last one turned out to be fake, now show me your license." >D:"Of course, here you go, madam." >Davenport takes out his Salesperson license and shows it to your mother. >L:"At least one of you is legit, now what do you want?" >D:"It appears you ran into an imposter. No doubt that heathen tried to do my job and rip you off. Tell me, did he or she try to buy off some of your unwanted belongings?" >L:"That's exactly what happened, mister..." >D:"Davenport, madam." >L:"Mister Davenport, you want to buy all the useless shit I own?" >D:"Of course, madam. It is for a good cause." >L:"And what kind of cause is this?" >D:"Giving these things to the needy, recycling some products to reduce resource usage, selling it to merchants, you name it." >L:"You're willing to buy useless shit to recycle." >D:"Think of it as an incentive to get people to do the right thing. Instead of people giving for free, they make some money on what they own, while their items go to a good cause." >L:"So I'll make money off of shit I don't use?" >D:"Exactly, madam." >L:"hmm... I could always use some extra money. Please, come in." >D:"Gladly." >Davenport walks into your house, successfully managing to convince your mother to potentially sell your items to him >You're surprised he was able to pull it off >you leave Davenport to tell the girls >AJ:"Well ah'll be a thief caught red handed, ah thought he would blow it." So you girls saw him enter, huh? >FS:"I'm so proud of him. He's told me so much about trying to so something like this. It makes me so happy for him to succeed." >R:"Surely Davenport knows what to do, but make sure he gets everything you need, alright?" Of course I will. Wish him luck, everyone. >and with that, you fly back into your house and enter Davenport again >"Are you even listening to me?!" Sorry, I left for a minute there. >"At a time like this?! I need to know what you want, dammit." Again, sorry. Did you convince her to sell my stuff? >"I was getting to that. I wanted you to give me tips on what I can do to make her sell. You know your own mother, don't you?" It really shouldn't be hard, just use your sales talk to get her to cough up everything. >"You do realize what we're trying to make her sell, right?!" I'm telling you, it won't be hard. >"Fine... here goes nothing."   >D:"Madam, if y-" >L:"Leona." >D:"M-miss Leona, if you would be so kind as to show me anything you have no desire to keep, that would be lovely." >L:"I don't really have much to get rid of." >D:"Are you absolutely sure? Nothing at all?" >L:"Well, there's a lot, actually, but its not my shit. It all belongs to my dead son." >as expected, she doesn't look broken up about it >D:"I see. You are willing to part with his belongings then?" >L:"for a price, sure. I was going to give it all to someone stopping by soon, but if I can get some money from it all, go ahead, put up an offer." >D:"I'm sorry, Miss Leona, but I must see everything first." >L:"Upstairs, second door on the left. That's his old room. He's been dead for a couple weeks, so don't feel guilty about taking it all." I've been gone for three months, you old hag! >"Quiet, Anon." Shit, didn't mean to-" >"I said quiet!" >D:"I will show myself to his room then, excuse me." >Davenport gets up to walk up the nearby stairs >until your mother says something you really wish she didn't say >L:"Damn, you have a nice ass." >"W-What did she just say?" Davenport, whatever you do, don't panic. If you say anything back, you're a dead man. >"Please tell me is not what I think." Unless you want to have brutal sex with a forty seven year old drug addict, keep fucking walking. >Davenport does his best to not say anything as he walks upstairs >after taking some deep breaths, he walks up to your room and opens the door >"Your mother is crazy." Don't get me started.   >"So, this is your room, huh?" Yup, the good ol' Anon den. >"It looks so... nerdy." >you resist the urge to go all navy seals on his ass from that comment Just... grab certain things and let's go. >"Alright, like what?" First of all, the video games and computer. You have no idea how many things I have on that old thing. >"I don't want to know." Just pick up that laundry bag right there and gather it all up. Don't worry, it will hold. >Davenport does just that, picking up old consoles, video games, wires, etc. >He goes to put the old computer into the bag and, with relative ease, picks it up and gets it in there Wow, I thought that would be harder >"When you work with sofas all your life, you learn to lift them easily." >damn, don't fuck with this salesman >"Alright, anything else?" Grab the clothes from the bottom shelf. I might not be able to wear them, but they have sentimental value. >"Easy enough. Anything else after that?" There's... one last thing. After you grab the clothes, go to my desk. >"Hold on... there. You said your desk, right?" Yes. Look in the drawer Go under all the useless shit in there and grab the grey box in there. >"...Here it is. This is a fancy looking box. Mind if I know what's in it?" Sure, open in. >Davenport opens the grey box, revealing something only you and Caesar know about. >"This is... a gem?" Citrine. Its cut to look like a pretty nice looking gem. Its my good luck charm. >"You have a tiny gem as a good luck charm." Hey, every time I have it in my pocket, good things tend to happen. I don't abuse it's luck, so that might be why it gives me so much. >"Its just a... nevermind, I have it. That's it, right?" Yeah, I don't care for anything else in here. The posters are worn, all the figurines are broken, and I don't have a use for more clothes. >"Then we're done here. Let's pay your mother and get the hell out of here." >L:"So, you're done here, right? >"Sweet baseball pens!" What kind of surprised profanity is that?! >D:"M-miss Leona, you're up here checking on me?" >L:"I have to look at what you're buying, so of course. I saw pretty much everything in that bag, so I already know the price I'm giving." >D:"And that would be..." >you really hope Rarity gave him enough. >L:"About six hundred bucks should be enough." >D:"Sold!" Whoa, really? >"You have no idea how much Rarity gave me." >L:"Alright, give me the money and you can leave." >Davenport pulls out a... really girly looking wallet and hands her six bills >Who the fuck carries hundred dollar bills in their wallet?! >L:"Alright, looks like there's enough. go on, git." >D:"Good, it as a pleasure doing business with you, Miss Leona. I hope you are willing to donate like this in the future." >Davenport starts to walk away >please don't say anym- >L:"You know, you look like a nice, strong young man." Don't. Respond. Davenport. >Davenport shivers, but continues to walk away >he begins walking down the stairs >L:"I wouldn't mind you staying a bit longer." Keep walking! >Davenport reaches the door and clenches the doorknob >L:"Hey, don't walk away from me, grease pit." >Davenport stops >oh no >D:"What did you say?" >L:"I made a comment about you hair, you idiot. Now that I got your attention, how about you walk back in here and... let's talk for a bit." >D:"Did you just... insult my hair?" >L:"If you want, I have some hair care products in the back, maybe we can fix that thing." Davenport, listen to me. Calm down, and walk the fuck away. >D:"No one..." Don't make me force you to leave! >D:"Says something like that..." Fuck this, assuming direct control "ABOUT MY H-...what the?!" Sorry Davenport, this is for your own good! >After you possessed Davenport, you walk the fuck out and never look back >She never chases a man who leaves the house, so you're fine >you run with bag full of loot back to the girls hiding behind the bushes D:"Alright, girls, We got all the stuff we needed! Davenport did a damn good job at all this." >FS:"Anon... why did you possess Daven? Did something happen?" "Damn right, something happened! That bitch wouldn't know good hair if she wore the world's most beautiful wig around that horrible fucking-" D:"Things got a little heated, and I got him out of there before anything happened." >FS:"Oh... can you leave him now?" "-have over three hundred confirmed compliments about my fucking hair, and-" D:"In a few minutes, I need to sort everything in this bag real quick. It wasn't too much, but it all has good sentimental value." >SS:"Well, let's see it all!" D:"Alright, first, we have-" >?:"H-hey, what the hell are you all doing with all that stuff, huh?!" >...no   >he's not here, just continue what you're doing D:"S-so I was able to get some of my old clothes and-" >?:"Hey asshole, I was talking to you! Don't act like I didn't see you walk out of my mother's house!" >RD:"Hey, back off pal, who are you... to..." >?:"I don't know if you realize it yet, but all that shit belongs to my younger brother. Now get out of my way, Miss gay pride." >PP:"Holy moly guacamole! You look just like Anon!" >?:"So, you know him, huh? So tell me, does he know about what you're stealing?" D:"I-I-I-." >?:"And you, taking my little brother's stuff without his permission, huh? Tell me why I shouldn't kick your ass right here, right now." >SS:"Don't talk to him like that, Caesar." >C:"And just how do you know my name, huh? What are you, his stalker? I'm not sure if Anon will be thrilled or creeped out by a hottie like you following him around." >AJ:"Uh, you're Anon's big brother, right?" >C:"Damn right, I am. I'm here to get my little brother and leave this hell hole." D:"You're late..." >C:"Oh, so now the big man is talking? You don't know about shit, so shut your trap." >you turn around to see your big brother >the same old asshole you once knew, just a little older D:"I know everything, Caesar, so why are you here now and not five years ago?" >C:"Anon told you about that? Doesn't he know how to keep to himself? Yeah, I left, but now I'm here. Hey, Stalker, you know where he is?" >SS:"I'm not telling you squat." >C:"Then get out of here, stalker. Any of you girls know?" >FS:"Um... Anon is..." >C:"I can't here you over this big guy over here breathing so hard, speak up." >FS:"Well... he's..." >C:"Ok, you're a lost cause. What about you, cowgirl." >AJ:"Ah guess Anon was right about you. You seem like nothin' but trouble."   >C:"No answer, got it. You're all hiding shit from me, so what about this guy right here. Just from the look on his face, I can tell he's ready to break." D:"You... don't even know, do you?" >C:"Know what?" D:"Anonymous, your little brother, who you deserted all those years ago." >C:"Enough with the dramatic shit, just get to the point." D:"He's been gone for three months, you idiot." >C:"..." >PP:"uh, I think that wasn't a good idea." >you look into your brother's eyes >you thought he wouldn't care much about that statement >but you were wrong >C:"What are you trying to pull, huh?" D:"Do you really think I'm lying?" >C:"Damn right, I do! I got a call from my mother last month. She told me Anon was fine, just a bit more quiet now, and you're trying to tell me he's missing?! Do I look stupid to you?" D:"No, you're just ignorant." >C:"Why the hell would she lie?" D:"Wouldn't you lie if you didn't know the truth? She only found out about it a few weeks ago." >C:"That's... that's bullshit!" D:"Keep telling yourself that, maybe it will come true." >C:"Alright fine, I'll just waltz right inside my mother's house, find Anon, and I'll prove you wrong." D:"Why would you do that..." If you've already found him.   >C:"What in the world..." Are you that surprised? I told you I was gone for three months." >C:"hehehehe..." >R:"Anon, darling, I think you broke him." Give it a minute >Caesar starts laughing up a storm >everyone else might think he's gone off the deep end, but you know him too well >C:"Oh man, you've outdone yourself, Anon. You've really stepped up your game. You must have gotten some weird hologram technology like in japan, huh?" >you put on the most stern face you could muster >C:"Alright alright, shows over. Damn, Anon, you made a hell of a lot of friends since I've been gone. I mean look at them all! All of these girls are hot, bro!" >RD:"We're right here, asshole." >C:"That's nice, skittles. Seriously, Anon, you can drop the act. Although, I am interested in how you made it look like you came out of this guy. Great special effects." I'm a spirit, you dumb fuck. >C:"Alright then, prove it." >you really think about how you're going to do this... >oh, this will get him good >you turn around and decide to possess one of the girls >Sunset would be more than fine with it Sunset, may I? >SS:"Of course, Anon." >you float on over to Sunset and possess her body >C:"I don't think I'll ever get over those cool effects." SS:"Tell me, Caesar, how was the basketball game before you graduated high school?" >C:"Well, I was the MVP of that game, winning by only one point with-" SS&C:"Breathing technique number seven." >C:"...what the hell?! How did you know that?!" SS:"How do you think, Aniki?" >C:"you... just called me..." >you can see the look on his face >everything just hit him like a ton of bricks >only you could know these things, and even if you told everyone else, they wouldn't say it like how you would. >however, you don't know how he'll react >C:"So... so you're really..." SS:"Dead? Yes." >C:"You... you're lying. You're all lying!" >this does not look good >C:"Who the fuck lies about this shit, you dirty fucking stalker!"   >R:"Anon, you might want to calm your brother." SS:"Listen, Caesar-" >C:"I've heard enough of your bullshit. I should just beat your ass down for pulling this shit. Anon has gone too far with this joke." SS:"You still think this is a j-" >C:"I thought I told you to shut it!" >Caesar makes a mad dash towards you >shit, he's still just as fast as you remember. >you have to stop him now! >... >you hope this works >you fly out of Sunset... >and enter Caesar's body "What... the... why can't I move?!" What do you think you're doing, Caesar? "Anon?! Why... why do I hear you in my head?" I'm a spirit, you saw me possess someone, and you went to hurt someone I care for. Put the pieces together, dumbass. "You...I...this isn't happening right now." It is, now stop being in denial "You're not dead... you're not! I finally came back to get you... you're not dead, dammit!" >Caesar struggles against your possession >he's... fighting you back? "Who did this to you, huh? If you're really dead, then someone must have did you in. Who was it?!" Caesar, calm down. No one killed me, I just- "You're lying, Anon. You wouldn't kill yourself, you're too strong for that! Was it these bitches? Did they do something?" What, no! They didn't do anything. "I bet they killed you, and now you're haunting them! They're the reason, aren't they? Don't worry, I'll do something about it, you can count on me." >he's sounding more and more desperate the more you talk >you are having extreme difficulty keeping him at bay >and its only getting harder and harder "They did something, I know they did! You might be dead, but I can avenge you, right?" Caesar, snap out of this! "Yeah, I'll snap a bone or two, that'll teach them a good lesson. Come on let's-" >*WHAM* >you feel a blow to the back of your head... >someone just attacked Caesar >AJ:"If you won't calm down, ah'll make you do it mahself."   >you leave Caesar's body, mostly due to the fact that you don't want to feel that incredible headache he now has Ow... that hurt like hell. >AJ:"We all saw you struggle with him, so ah thought enough is enough and his him over the head." Thank you, Applejack. You didn't have to hit so hard, though... >AJ:"Ah got him to stop." Good point. >RD:"So that big jerk is your brother?!" Yeah, that's Caesar. Always over protective and excessive. I've never seen him panic like that. >FS:"He was panicking?" While I was inside him, I tried to get him to realize the situation and... well, look at the results. >SS:"Anon, you were fighting for control, weren't you? Are you ok?" Yeah, Sunset, I'm fine. I'm a little beat from all of this, but that's about it. >R:"Well, I do believe this has been a long day. Why don't we all go back to my humble abode and relax?" >RD:"It hasn't been too long. Its only the early afternoon and we haven't done much." >R:"I'm only suggesting it so Anon can rest. He said he was exhausted, right?" That doesn't sound like a bad idea. Let's go back to Rarity's place. >PP:"What about Caesar?" Bring him with us, if you want. I think he'll want to talk to me when he wakes up anyway. >AJ:"And how are we supposed to carry him a half a mile? Ah may be strong, but he's a big guy." >RD:"For you. Let me handle this, Applejack, I have everything under control." >Rainbow Dash crouches in front of Caesar and attempts to pick him up >after some struggling, she manages to successfully put him over her shoulders >and judging by her shaking legs, she will go down in five, four, three- >RD:"Ok, I can't do it." >Rainbow Dash let's Caesar down... by letting him fall on his back Hey, we're not trying to kill him! >RD:"heh heh... sorry." >PP:"Hey, what fell out of his pocket?" >FS:"They look like... car keys?" >R:"Ooh, what's it for!" >Rarity snatches the key from the ground and examines it >R:"No way, it can't be! Oh, I need to find it!" >SS:"Rarity, are you alright?" >R:"It must be nearby... YES!" >Rarity darts towards an old looking car across the street Rarity, what are you doing? >R:"Look at this marvelous piece of history! I never thought I would ever see one of these in person in my lifetime." >FS:"Um... its just a car..." >R:"Just a car? Just a CAR?! Its not just a car, its a beautiful Sixty-nine Cutlass! It looks to be in good condition too! Oh, the things I would do with this car, the clothes I would wear with this... *sigh* so many ways to model with this car." Rarity, are you going to steal my brother's car or something? >R:"I... well... ah ha! You want to take Caesar with us, correct? We can just.. borrow his car and use that to transport him." >SS:"Isn't that stealing in a way?" >R:"Not if we're going to give it back, right? Besides, he'll be in the car with us, so there's nothing to worry about!" ...You know what, do it. >R:"Great! Everyone, get in, please. Do you all know how long I've been waiting for this?!" >everyone complies with Rarity's request >however, there seems to be one small problem... >RD:"Where the hell are we going to put Caesar?" >PP:"Why don't we put him in the trunk? ...What?" >AJ:"You sure about that?" She has a point. Where else are we going to put him? >RD:"Come on, AJ, just help me get him in." >The two strong girls pick up Caesar and bring him over to is car. >Rarity opens the trunk and they gently place him in Alright, now we have that taken care of, let's be on our way >R:"Come on, girls, let's go!" >FS:"Um... aren't we forgetting something?" >R:"What do you mean, darling?" >FS:"Haven't you noticed someone missing?" >SS:"Now that you mention in...." Wait a minute... why is the door to my mother's house open? >... Everyone: "Davenport!"   >you all eventually reach Rarity's home, but not before possessing Davenport to get him out of your house >he can just go on and on about his hair >it never stops >he was fine with going back to the shop while the girls help you with your brother problem >Applejack and Rainbow Dash carry him inside and up the stairs into Rarity's room >you are extremely glad her parents aren't home >at least he hasn't woken up yet >C:"w-what... what happened?" >spoke too soon! Get him on the bed, now! >The two strong girls do just that, but they don't stop there >they move to restrain him before he realizes what's going on >C:"What the hell are you people doing?!" Making sure you don't go nuts again, brother >you hover over him, making sure he sees you while you're talking to him >C:"You're there... you're a ghost... so I wasn't dreaming?" When the hell have you ever remembered a dream you've had?! >C:"Anon... you're dead. What the hell happened?!" Let me explain. I chose this situation I'm in. I'm a spirit of my own volition, so no one killed me or anything, and before you make assumptions, I wasn't depressed or anything like that. I'm a spirit now, so just accept it. >C:"..." >PP:"Gee, Nonny, maybe you should have been a bit less direct." >R:"I agree, you two shouldn't be so rough." This is how we get things done. Let me handle this and everything will be fine. >C:"You... chose to be like this?" Yeah, and I haven't looked back. >C:"Are you... are you happy?" Look around you, Caesar, everyone here is my friend. They don't even mind that I'm a spirit. >C:"Are you happy, yes or no." Yes, you numbskull. >C:"Good... good... then I guess my plan to have you live with me is out of the question, huh?" Live with you? You came back to finally give me that option?! >C:"That's what my plan was all along, bro." ...Explain. >C:"Alright, but can you get these girls off of me first?" Explain! >C:"Ok ok... remember when I went to college to actually do something with my life? I told you I would come back and take you away from all this, right?" Yeah, and you never came back. >C:"Anon, I thought this would only take about two years. I planned on becoming a mechanic, getting a job, finding a decent apartment, and then coming back for you. I even got one near out old home!" You're serious? That's what your plan was? >C:"I know I know, it wasn't too thought out, but I tried my damn hardest. I wasn't going to break my promise, alright?" So... you didn't leave me there. You just worked towards getting me out of mom's house. >C:"That's exactly what I was doing! Besides, you still got the money I kept sending you, right? It was always forwarded into a bank account." That was you?! Mom said she was getting the money. >C:"Did you really believe that? This is mom we're talking about, how can she possibly get that much?" The only reason I believed it is because she was the only person left in my life. How was I supposed to know it was you? >C:"You're not stupid, Anon. I thought you would see through mom's lies." So now you think I'm stupid? >C:"Just for that, I kinda do!" Coming from the idiot who was in severe denial a few minutes ago. >C:"Yeah, and doubting the one who took care of you all these years is so much better?" At least I made friends while you were gone! >C:"At least I made friends while I was alive!" >PP:"Quiet!" >both of you stare at Pinkie for a minute >PP:"Can you both please stop arguing? All this yelling is making my ears hurt." >SS:"Instead of screaming at each other, why don't you two just get along? Anon said you both used to be close." >you look back at Caesar >and he looks at you >and you look at him >and he looks at YOU >and you look at HIM >C:"You always did get into crazy situations." Like you're one to talk, brother.   >C:"You know, I always thought you would drop the whole 'brother' thing." What can I say? Pinkie Pie brought up a good point earlier today. >C:"So you did talk about me! That explains a lot." Yeah, I did. Pinkie mentioned that I might have looked towards you as a father more than a brother. >C:"You thought of me like I was dad? That feels like more of an insult than anything... but considering I left, its understandable." No, not about that! I never knew dad, you know that. I may have thought of you as a father figure. Like you were a parent to me. >C:"I... never knew that, Anon. Was I really that important to you?" Of course you were, dumbass! Dad was MIA, Mom was fucked up, so who else did I have to count on when I was little?! >C:"Shit, I really didn't think about that. Sorry, bro." Its fine... you did what you could, right? You had a plan, and it didn't work out like you wanted. You did everything to help me... Applejack, Rainbow Dash, let him go. >C:"About damn time." >Applejack and Rainbow Dash let go of his arms and allow him to sit up >C:"They are some strong girls, huh? I didn't know you were a chick magnet, Anon." >RD:"Hey big guy, stop talking like we're not even here." >R:"It is quite rude to talk like that in front of a lady, Caesar." >C:"Come on, it was a compliment." Show them some respect, alright? >C:"Alright alright! Geez, I thought I was strict sometimes." >R:"Although, I must say, it is quite nice to hear someone compliment our looks." >C:"Anyway, how did you all meet?" Its... a long story. >C:"I planned on hanging out with you all day, so I got time." >AJ:"We met we he first possessed mah body and had sex with mah girlfriend." Applejack, what the hell! >C:"Whoa, didn't see that coming! Anon, you devil, getting with all the chicks." >SS:"He didn't stop there." >C:"Oh, this should be good." Kill me now... >SS:"Sorry, Anon, you're already dead."   >you have a long talk with Caesar >The girls talk about everything... >no seriously, everything >yes, even the sex... without the details, though >Caesar just sits there with a dumb look on his face >you tell the girls to stop talking about all that and actually discuss other things >Rainbow Dash tells Caesar about how she learned his technique for basketball >he was in disbelief, but thrilled at the same time >the fact that he indirectly helped someone with his techniques must have really brought him joy >C:"So, that's the whole story, huh?" >PP:"Yuppers, every little thing." >C:"I honestly didn't expect to learn everything about what my little bro did as... a ghost." Well, there you have it. All the stupid shit I did... now let's never bring any of this up again. >PP:"Oh Nonny, you look so silly when you're embarrassed." >C:"Heh, she's got a point. This has been quite a- whoa, is it already dark out?" >you look outside and, like he said, it is indeed night time Looks like it. >C:"I guess I should head back home... wait, where's my car?!" >R:"Don't worry, I took the liberty of driving it here myself. Here are your keys." >C:"You took my car?!" >R:"Well, did you want us to carry you back here or use your beautiful car instead?" >C:"That's... well... as long as you didn't do anything to it, its fine. It took forever to fix that damn thing up..." >SS:"I guess we're all going to go home as well." >AJ:"It was nice talkin' to you, Caesar. Sorry about hittin' you over the head." >C:"That was you?!" >AJ:"Hey, ah only did it because you were goin' nuts." >C:"Anon, your friends are crazy..." That's why they're friends with me >C:"I guess so. Come on, Anon, let's go back to my place." Wait... what? >C:"Yeah, I told you before, I got an apartment nearby. Its big enough for us to live there, and... well, since you're a ghost, I guess its even easier now." >SS:"That's great! Anon, you get to live with your brother like how you've always wanted!" Yeah... like a dream come true. >You look at Sunset, who has a big smile on her face >she's right, you get to live with your brother... >wait a minute >you think about what Caesar said. >an apartment for two people... Caesar, hold up a sec. >C:"What is it, bro?" I want to see if you're alright with something. >C:"Whatever you ask, you will receive." Can Sunset Shimmer live with us? >everyone in the room stops in their tracks >C:"...run that by me again?" You heard me, I want Sunset to live with us. >C:"Um... why?" She lives in a rundown place in the park. >C:"You're kidding, right?" Nope, her place is a dump. You said your apartment is big enough for two people, correct? >C:"Well... yeah, but it was meant for you and I." And I'm a spirit, so how much room am I going to take up? >C:"...ok, you've made your point clear. I'll... allow it, but only if she says-" >SS:"Yes!" There you go. >C:"...I feel as though I'm going to regret this." >SS:"Anon, did that really just happen?!" Of course, Sunset. I thought about it real quick, and put some pieces together. I know how much you hate living in that dump, so here you go! >SS:"That's... oh my goodness, thank you, Anon." Not a problem, Sunset. >C:"Oh god, you two love each other, don't you?" >SS:"N-no I don't! What gave you that idea?" >C:"Don't try and hide obvious love from me, lady. I saw that look in your eye." You saw what?! >SS:"I don't know what you saw, but it sure wasn't that. Nope, it definitely wasn't..." Sunset... do you- >SS:"Oh, would you look at the time! I'll take these bags over to your brothers car and we'll be on our way, right? Ok bye. >and with that, Sunset grabs your old stuff and dashes out of the room >that... totally wasn't odd >you really think about what Caesar said >love? >does she really feel that way towards you? >C:"Er... sorry, bro. Hey, at least its even more obvious now." Dammit, Caesar, this is why you're the bane of my existence... >C:"Bane?" You made Sunset feel uncomfortable. Did you really have to say that to her? >C:"Hey, I always speak my mind." You still didn't have to- >R:"Enough arguing! You two could argue for days if you wanted to." >FS:"Maybe its time we actually go home now." >C:"I agree with your friends for once. Come on, bro, let's go." As long as you learn to keep your mouth shut, alright.   >You, Sunset, and Caesar eventually get into his car and drive off >since you can't ride in the car, you enter Sunset's body >you all stop by the park and gather some of Sunset's belongings >it was mostly a couple pairs of clothes, some knickknacks here and there, and a blanket >Sunset was pretty quiet, most likely because of how much Caesar embarrassed her >did she really love you? >can you talk to her about it? >C:"Alright you two, we're here." >Sunset exits the car and looks at the apartment >it looks like a huge set of apartment houses >this one must be the one Caesar live in >C:"I got both of your bags. Come on, let's go." >Sunset and Caesar both walk towards one of the doors >he pulls out a key and opens the door >C:"Here we are, the new home of Anon and his girlfriend, Sunset Shimmer." >you feel Sunset blush at that comment >Caesar seems to have gotten a nice place >everything looks new, pretty big, and looks like there's two bedrooms >you decide to leave Sunset's body >C:"Ok, I already set up shop in one of the rooms, so you two get the other one. Go on, make yourselves at home." >SS:"Thanks, Caesar." >C:"Anything for my little bro. If I were to deny him, he would probably make me jump off a building." That's the final part >C:"Told you so. I'll put your bags in your new room and I'll cook us something to eat. I hope you like ramen." >you all go into your new room >looks pretty damn nice >just the right size too >there's already a double sized bed here as well >he really went all out >C:"There, both of your bags are here. Go on, customize this room." Thanks, Caesar. >C:"Anytime, bro." >Caesar walks away, leaving you alone with Sunset. >SS:"Well, I guess I'll unpack everything, right?" Go right ahead. >SS:"I'll start with your things." >you really want to bring up the whole love thing >but you don't really know how to start the conversation >Sunset picks up your old clothes, couple video games, all that nice shit. >SS:"What's this box, Anon?" >she found the box with the jewel! >crap, you forgot it was in there >... >you just got an idea >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRx9gnY0Mp0 So, you found that old thing. >SS:"It looks fancy. What's in it?" Something that I've held on to for a long time. >SS:"Is it special? For a box this nice, it must be important." Yeah... its important alright. Go on, open it. >Sunset opens up the box containing the Citrine jewel >SS:"Wow, its a jewel." A lucky Jewel, at least in my case. I'm not sure why, but this little thing always brought me luck. I always feel more calm with it near me. >SS:"What kind is it?" Citrine. Its not too rare, but it still looks nice when cut. I remember me and my bro found it one day in our backyard when we were kids. Caesar found it first, but when I said I wanted it... he let me have it. >SS:"That was nice of him." It was nice... do you like it, Sunset? >SS:"Its beautiful. I love the color." Good... because I'm giving it to you. >SS:"Wait, what?" You heard me >SS:"But this is your jewel. It always gave you luck, so why should I have it?" I'm a spirit, remember? What use do I have for a jewel I can't keep on me. >Sunset looks at the jewel, obviously looking a little confused >SS:"Why are you giving me this?" >here it is >your moment of truth >don't fuck this up... I think the better question is... why not? Look at the few months I've been here. You seem to be the one girl who always wants to hang out with me whenever she gets the chance. Whenever I need a physical form, you always seem to volunteer. >SS:"That's because... no one else offers, right?" Sunset, Pinkie offers every two seconds. You always give me those puppy dog eyes everytime you want me near you. >SS:"I...um..." Look at how much you want to be with me. When Caesar gave you the option to live with him, you didn't hesitate because of the thought of living with me all the time." >SS:"Anon..." Sunset... >you both stare into each other's eyes >you can see her beautiful cyan eyes >that face you've come to know and love >her smile... Sunset, I never realized how much you mean to me. Everyone else is my friend... but I never called you my friend, did I? You're more than that. You're special. >SS:"Anon... does this mean..." Sunset Shimmer... with every inch of my heart, there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that... >SS:"Please say it... please..." I love you, Sunset Shimmer. You've always been there for me... now I'll always be there for you. >SS:"I love you too, Anon... You have no idea how much I've wanted you to say that." >Sunset goes in for the kiss... >and goes right through you >SS:"ha... I guess not everything can be perfect." Hold on, let me handle this. >you slowly lean closer and closer to Sunset, making sure you get this right >she's watching what you're doing >you hope she catches on >your lips are right next to hers >she goes in for a kiss again... >it may not feel like it, but your lips touch hers >whether is be ethereal or corporeal, you're both kissing each other >Sunset closes her eyes, a single tear escaping one of them >You hate it when she cries... >but these aren't tears of sadness >these are tears of joy >you both start to raise each other's arms to go in for a hug... >but you both stop when you realize its no use >a kiss is enough >the raw emotion is enough to satisfy both of you >SS:"That felt nice..." I agree. Who needs physical contact, anyway? >SS:"ha ha... I guess you're right." It has truly, truly been a roundabout path. Thank you, Sunset Shimmer. That's all I can really say anymore. >SS:"Thank you, Anon, for coming into my life. In this world, this might be the greatest moment in my life." That's wonderful, Sunset. As long as you're happy, I'm happy. You can always count on me now. >SS:"Oh Anon..." >Sunset Shimmer goes to the nearby bed and lays down >SS:"Anon, are you coming to bed?" Of course, Sunset >you enter Sunset's body and possess her >you know how much she likes that feeling Good night, Sunset Shimmer "Good night, Anonymous." >and with that, you both embrace the dream world, content with what transpired today >you will always be together, no matter what... >Everything will be just fine...   >all of a sudden, the door slams open >C:"Alright, everyone, who wants ramen?! SS&A:"CAESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR"
