I know you’re there!” >Shit… >You try to hide behind some trash bags, but the noise caused by a tin can makes the homeless guy immediately run towards you. >As soon as you stand up, he sees the shotgun blast on your jacket and hesitates to attack you. >Not only that, he sees the dried blood on your hands, jacket and shoes. >”What the-?!” >He drops the bat and runs away from you. >“HELP! SOMEONE!” >If you let him go…police will investigate! >It’s you or him… >You grab the bat he dropped and chase after him, and when you finally catch up with him you bash his skull with the bat. >You hear that disturbing noise once again as you beat his skull to a pulp. >Once he’s dead, you make sure no one else is around, or that nobody heard his cries for help. >You…killed an innocent person. “I think I’m gonna…” >You quickly take off your mask and vomit next to the bum’s lifeless body. “Oh God…what have I done?!” >This is not the time to freak out! >You have to get out of here! >You quickly place all the clothes full of blood inside your car’s trunk and drive away. >You’ll have to find someplace else far away from Silver Fang’s turf or the alley where you killed the bum to dump all of your belongings. >But where?   >You thought of driving to Applejack’s farm. >But her family might find your stuff one day. >Applejack knows the way you dress, and sadly this jacket you’re wearing is one of your favorites. >You remember something. >Back in the first timeline, when Rarity was about to be raped, you forgot to give her her panties back. >And you threw them to the river that is next to the suburbs. >You sigh and drive to the suburbs. >Once you spot a notorious lack of people, you take your chance to throw all the stuff into the river. >Jacket. Check. >Body Armor. Check. >Sneakers? You’ll clean them at home. >Mask… >Pinkie knows that she gave you this mask. >If the people you rescued tell the cops, and you know they will, that a guy with a rooster mask was the one that rescued them they’ll start looking for you. >Besides, the hospital’s staff already saw you wearing it. >If the whole thing blows and Pinkie realizes you ‘lost’ your mask she’d get suspicious. >Although you hate to admit it, you’ll have to keep the mask. >You’ll have to stuff it in your locker tomorrow and act as if you left it in your locker all day. >You drive to your home and hope your parents aren’t there. >Minutes later… >When you arrive to your home you realize that your dad’s SUV isn’t parked on the driveway. >You let out a relieved sigh. >As soon as you arrive you quickly park your car in the garage and jump out of it, closing the garage’s door behind. >You quickly and carefully clean your sneakers with water and soap. >Same goes for your jeans, and shirt, who is stained with the fatso’s blood because of the body armor you borrowed. >As soon as they’re washed you decide to double check and stuff your clothes inside the washing machine. >As you run completely naked around the house you grab buckets and sponges your dad uses to make you wash his SUV and clean any trace of blood on the seats. >You clean off some blood stains from the steering wheel and floors, as well as some blood and cum stains that oozed from the little girl and teen. “Fuck…fuck…FUCK!” >You’re glad you made that pig pay. >Fortunately, there’s no blood, sweat or cum stains on the seat you placed Derpy on. >Guess it’s safe to say that nothing happened to her. >You clean the blood-stained cloths with water and wring them up. >So much water mixed with blood is going down the garage’s little sewer. >When you’re done you grab the rooster mask and go to your room, to hide it in a very secluded spot, away from your parents’ gaze. >And finally, you walk into your bathroom to take a shower. >Gotta get rid of that that gunpowder and blood smell. >When you’re done…you grab something comfortable to wear and drag your tired body to your bed. “Phew…” >… >You wonder what the consequences of this incident will be.   >You don’t want to do anything. >You want to think that none of this is real. >Why did this have to happen? >Why didn’t you accompany Derpy to that building? >Why did you waste so much time buying that piece of shit car instead of caring for Derpy? >Why did you kill so many teens? >Why did you murder that hobo? “Why…oh fuck…why?” You say while sobbing. >This is worse than your time in Detrot. >What are you supposed to do? This is none of your business! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16VpZ7w0KpY >”Are you sure?” “Huh?” >”Your actions have led to this…and you know it.” “What are you talking about?” >”Silver Fang’s gang has turned into something real dangerous. Was it this way before you died for the first time?” >You stay silent. >”No, of course not. You did the right thing I guess, your friend Derpy is peacefully sleeping in the hospital.” “…” >”And for the little girl and that other girl, they are fine as well. You took a risky decision. Guess your existence was justified by the Elements.” “I…killed a homeless man.” >”No one will mourn his death; you did it in a fit of paranoia, do you remember what you said to the Element of Loyalty?” “Huh?” >”That you’d be willing to give everything I have to keep your friends safe and sound, no matter the cost? Well, think twice about that statement before something worse happens.” “I-“ >”This threat goes way up than you imagine, keep your eyes peeled and your friends will live.” >You recall the moment you shot the teens dead. >”If Silver Fang keeps going, then you know what it must be done.” >You look at the rooster mask and put it on once again. “…” >”Now you finally understand what your purpose in this new reality is…” >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWPDAopQOqg   >The next day. >7:46 A.M. >”OOOH! I can’t wait to see Nonny’s new car!” Pinkie Pie excitedly says. >”I hope it’s safe and slow…oh, I don’t want Anon to crash into a lamp post,” Fluttershy says. >”Ah sure hope he got sumthin’ sweet,” Applejack says, “like a truck!” >”He did, it’s a sweet ride. I’m gonna ask him to take me to the mall when we’re done practicing for the next match,” Rainbow Dash says. >”I’ll be the first one to hop into that car Rainbow,” Rarity says, “he’s my boyfriend after all…” >Some students pass by. >”Come on now Rarity, Anon bought this car to take us wherever we wanted to go, don’t get greedy.” >Sandy Lemon turns her head around her shoulder. >”Car? What are you talking about Rainbow Dash?” >”Oh, hey Sandy…we were talking about the new car Anon bought.” >”Anon bought a car?” Sonata and Aria say at the same time. >Rainbow sighs. >”Yeah, it’s a classic one. He promised my dad that he’d take me wherever I want,” Rainbow Dash says with a smile. >”Oooh, how nice!” Sonata says, “I didn’t know Anon could drive.” >Rainbow Dash laughs. >”He’s quite good! Yesterday we spent a good chunk of time testing it, he pulled off some sweet drift moves.” >Flash Sentry passes by. >”Yeah, we were going pretty fast. That’s why both my dad and I love classic cars,” Rainbow says. >”Hey girls, what are you talking about?” Flash says. >”Oh nuthin’, we were talking about Nonny’s new car! According to Rainbow it can go pretty fast.” >Flash crosses his arms. >”Would his car beat my Camaro?” >”I don’t think you should drive at high speeds Flash,” Fluttershy says, “you might end up having an accident.” >”Hah!” Rainbow chuckles, “Flash please…it’s not about the power, it’s all about the driver. He’d beat you in a race, that’s for sure!” >Flash smirks. >”Come on Rainbow, you can’t be serious.” >”Umm…Rainbow Dash?” Fluttershy says. >Plenty of teens gather around Rainbow Dash and Flash Sentry. >”Car?” >”What are you talking about?” >”The Great and Powerful Trixie demands to know more about Anon’s vehicle.” >”There he is!” Rainbow Dash says, “it’s that brown car!” >Everyone looks at the car Rainbow just pointed at with her finger. >You quietly park your car near the school’s entrance and lock it while whistling a tune. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzvXBFwcyek >You see about twenty-five teens standing near the school’s statue. “Mornin’ everybody!” You happily say before giving Rarity a kiss on her cheek, “morning Rares, how’s my sweetheart?” >”Uh…morning darling.” “What are you guys doing here? Aren’t classes going to start in any minute?” >Flash tries his best to stifle his laughter. >The girls look at your car with uneasy looks. “…What’s up with you guys today?” >Flash finally gives in and laughs. >Followed by Aria, Sonata, Sandy Lemon and Pinkie. >”THAT’S YOUR NEW CAR ANON?!” Aria says. “Yeah! Sweet isn’t it? It’s bold and brash!” You happily say. >”More like it belongs in the trash!” Flash says. “It might not be new, but it’s a classic.” >”How many years will it take to fix that trash heap? A billion?” Flash mockingly says. >Who does this prick think he is? >”Flash! Leave Anon and his car alone! If you don’t mind that is…” Fluttershy says. “Aww, thanks Flutters…I asked a guy if he could help me out with my car, but he said he’d need at least three thousand bucks with a paint job included…it’s a fair price I think, and I’m gonna get it fixed as soon as I can…” you say while scratching the back of your head. >Some teens laugh at you. >”A free paintjob? Will you ask for decals?” Flash says. “Decals?! Do I look like some sort of queer to you?” >Some teens laugh at Flash and his tryhard vehicle. >Flash squints at you. >”My car is faster than that piece of shit car of yours!” >Everyone goes ‘ooooooh’. >”Are you gonna let him talk to you like that Anon?” Rainbow Dash says. >”Rainbow!” Flutttershy scolds. >”WHAT’S GOING ON OUT HERE?!” Vice Principal Luna yells from her office’s window. >“Oh, nothing…” Flash says in a displeased tone. “Yeah…nothing,” You also reply. >”Nothing eh? Then GO TO CLASS ALREADY OR YOU’RE ALL GETTING A DETENTION!”   >Everybody present run to their respective classrooms in fear of getting detention from VP Luna. “Stupid Flash…” >”Don’t let him get to you sugarcube, he’s just tryin’ to tick you off,” Applejack says in her usual comforting tone. “I know,” you say with a sigh, “my car’s not that ugly isn’t it?” >”Heck no Anon, it’s still a great car. Once you get it fixed it’ll rock!” Rainbow brashly says. >You smile at Rainbow. “Thanks Dash, what do you think about it girls?” >The rest of your friends stay silent for a bit. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6kAruRfZH0 >”Uhh…it’s quite, nice.” Fluttershy says. >”Yeah. It’s got…uh, tires and everything!” Pinkie Pie adds. >”And the brown color is, ugh…Lovely?” Rarity says with a big expression of disgust on her face. >Your smile fades away. “Aww…it’s just temporary. I knew I shouldn’t have brought it until I fixed it…” you say while mumbling. >”What was that now Anon?” Sunset Shimmer says. “Eh, nothing. Let’s go to class already.”   >Four hours later. >Canterlot High’s Cafeteria. >You’re waiting in line to pay for the lunch you picked. >All of a sudden you feel a couple of fingers tapping your back. >You turn around and see a very cute but shy Pinkie Pie carrying a lot of food on her tray. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suqHq3xL0rs >”Umm…Nonny, I don’t know if I should ask you this because it’s quite awkward, but-“ “Lemme guess, you don’t have enough money to pay for your lunch Pinkie?” >She lets out an awkward laugh. >”Yeah, um. Could you…” “Once again, yes Pinkie. You know I’m your friend, but here’s some advice first. If you can’t afford to pay your lunch maybe you should eat a bit less.” >”B-but I caaaaan’t! Everything Granny Smith makes is soooo yummy!” “I know, but…three burgers? Come on now Pinks, they’ll go right to your thighs.” >You take a good look at Pinkie’s thighs and give her a perverted smile. >Damn this girl is thicc. >“Nonny?!” Pinkie Pie says as a blush forms on her cheeks. “On second thought…eat all you want Pinkie.” >”I’m telling Rarity…oh you naughty boy,” Pinkie says in a flattered tone while giving you another chance to look at her thighs. >Unf. >Maybe Pinkie Pie isn’t so bad after all… >Pinkie Pie lets out a giggle and thanks you for helping her pay for the rest of her lunch. >Perhaps you can get something more from her if you play your cards right. >Like Flutters, who loves to kiss you in a ‘platonic’ way.   >You accompany Pinkie and sit at the table her friends always sit at. >”Bought lunch for Pinkie again Anon?” Rainbow Dash says. “Hey, how could I leave this poor girl without her burgers?” You say as Pinkie gives Rainbow the best puppy eyes you’ve ever seen. >”At this rate you’ll never fix your car,” Rainbow warns, “guess you’ll have to get a job if your old man doesn’t want to give you any more money.” >You sigh. “Yeah…I was hoping to have it fixed before the Fall Formal, but I guess I’ll have to wait until the Winter Formal to save enough money to fix it.” >Rainbow Dash shrugs. >”You could ask the Pay N’ Spray owner to pay a small fee each month and get it fixed before the Fall Formal…you can worry about the money later.” “Huh, why didn’t I think of that? Thanks Rainbow!” >”Don’t mention it. Although it’ll probably cost more if you don’t pay up the three thousand bucks.” “Yeah yeah, interest rates…that doesn’t bother me much.” >You take out your smartphone from your pocket and start looking at job offers aimed for teenagers. >”I’ve never seen you like this before Anon,” Sunset Shimmer says, “what’s gotten into you?” “Eh, I’d like to pick up a few skills apart from making money. I don’t want my parents to think I’m some sort of leech.” >”Why though?” Rainbow asks, “your parents are like, rich with those jobs!” >You let out a chuckle. “Rich? Nah…but they hate seeing me wasting time playing my video games or surfing the web.” >”You’ve got quite exigent parents don’t you think Anon?” Fluttershy says. >You giggle. “Sometimes I think they’re not exigent enough…” >Back in your previous life you were nothing but a disappointment to them. >Even when you moved into Canterlot you decided to remain an outcast. >And even though they loved you, they couldn’t fathom that even outside Detrot you were giving up on life. >But now in this second life you have you’re actually living instead of existing. >You have a gorgeous girlfriend, good friends and parents that are actually proud of you. >You have to be careful though. >What you did yesterday, albeit being a good deed, could destroy your second opportunity. >Keep up the act, and nothing bad will happen. >You have to start making connections in the first place. >How, just how did Derpy get into that mess? >Did a sex trafficking ring exist in the previous timeline? >In Canterlot? Of all places?   >”Hey Anon, are we going to practice today?” Rainbow asks, breaking you out of your weird thoughts. “Uhh…practice?” >”Yeah, we have to beat Las Pegasus’ team this Friday! Have you forgotten already?” “No, I have not. Sorry Rainbow. I was thinking of other thing, in fact-” >All of a sudden, plenty of noise can be heard as teens walk to the geek’s table. >”DUDE-“ >”NO WAY-“ >”SHHH! I can’t listen to the news’ anchor!” >Trixie, Blueberry Pie, Flash stand up and head to the geek’s table as well. >You turn your head around your shoulder. “What’s all the commotion?” >”Dunno. Let’s go and see,” Pinkie says. >You and your friends stand up and gather at the table. >Atomic Adam has his laptop on a news streaming website. >[“Yesterday several bodies were found inside an abandoned building on 51st street.”] >”The hell is going on?” >”SHHH!” >[“The bodies were found in the fourth floor after a shootout occurred in that same floor.”] >Some girls gasp. >[“This is the first time a gruesome crime like this has been committed in Canterlot. And with crime I mean the death of several gang members and the release of three under aged females perpetuated by a single gunman.”] >The teens look perplexed. >[“According to some eyewitnesses a man entered the building first from a fire escape and got out with a little girl in his arms, then a female teenager came out of the building using the fire escape, with noticeable signs of torture.”] >Some teens cringe. >Including your friends. >[“We can confirm that we have video-footage of the incident from the same witness that called the police as soon as he heard the shooting occur.”] >V-video… >FOOTAGE?! >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B4drTUy0f4   >The news station plays the witness’ video. >[“Here we can see the female teenager using the fire escape and fleeing somewhere. We can’t see exactly where.”] >A wooden fence blocks the view of your vehicle. >[“Nothing seems to occur, but as soon as the girl reaches the ground level three gunshots can be heard from above.”] >The witness records the fourth floor. >[“As you can see there are some gang members running upstairs.”] >As soon as the gangbangers arrive to the fourth floor muzzle flashes can be seen from a room. >[“More gunshots are heard coming from the fourth floor as soon as the gang members arrive there.”] >… >[“And lastly, a final gunshot is heard. The witness called the police immediately afterwards.”] >The video cuts there. >You’re sweating bullets. >[“Then, five minutes later at the Hope Hospital. That same man entered this building accompanied by the teenager, with two more victims of what appears to be a kidnap. Yes, you heard it right. The single gunman entered the building and saved three girls, murdering members of The Order of Silver in the process…”] >The teens mumble things to each other. >[“Was this a case of vigilantism like the ones that took place in Mareami in the late 80’s?”] >”Anon?” “GAH!” >”Uhh, dude? What’s the anchor talking about? What vigilantism in Mareami?” Rainbow Dash says. “Uhh…I’ll talk about that later.” >”Why are you so sweaty?” “I-I just hate the sound of gunshots. That’s all…” >Rarity places her palm around your back. >”There there darling…”   >You’re sweating bullets right now. “I don’t feel so well, I have to go…” >”Where are you going Anon?” Rainbow Dash asks. “To the uh…restroom.” >You quickly get out of the cafeteria, leaving your friends behind feeling a bit confused at the way you reacted. >As soon as you get to the restroom you quickly wash away all the sweat running down your face and let out a sigh. >You really underestimated the power of news. >To get away with murder in the current year in this country is perhaps quite the most difficult task. >You hear a massive outburst coming from the cafeteria. >[“AAAAAHHHH!”] >It’s over. >It’s fucking over… >You should’ve grabbed a gun from the shady place you were at to kill yourself. >Everybody knows that you’re the one behind the murders of those idiots. >You don’t want to see your friends’ reactions. >You hear a knock on the restroom’s door. “Y-yes?” >”Anon! Get out, quickly!” Rainbow Dash says. >You swallow some saliva before giving you a last look on the restroom’s mirror and head to the restroom’s door. >As you open the door you find Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and some of the girls of the team, looking sad…some are even crying. “W-what’s going on?” >”You missed something really important Anon, it’s about Derpy…” “What? What about her?” >”She was the third girl held hostage…” >You stay silent. “I-is she okay?” >”Yes…” Blueberry Pie says, “she’s fine according to the news, so are the other girls.” >You let out a relieved sigh. “Oh God, thank you…” You say, trying your best not to puke from nervousness, “I can’t believe she was kidnapped.” >”Her parents spoke for her; they said she wanted to talk to us, especially you.” Fluttershy says. “Me?” >”Yes, that’s what her parents said on TV, I can’t believe it. We should go visit her,” Rarity says. “Alright...”   >School hours come to an end for the day. >As soon as the school’s bell rings all students burst out the main door and get into their cars, the school bus and some just run to the hospital Derpy’s staying at. >”Come on dude! Hurry up! Drive us there!” Rainbow Dash says. “D-drive you there?” >”Yeah! Are you deaf or something?” >You can’t park your car there… >The hospital staff might recognize you. >”She might feel a bit lonely Anon,” Fluttershy says, “we must comfort her.” “O-okay…but there’s not enough space for everyone.” >”We’ll find a way Nonny,” Pinkie Pie says, “trust me.”   >Minutes later. >”We’re almost there!” Pinkie Pie says. >Pinkie Pie…the absolute mad girl. >She’s currently lying down on her friends’ thighs. >For her, that was the only way four girls could share the seats. >Fluttershy, Applejack and Sunset Shimmer had to ‘share’ their seats with Pinkie like that. >As soon as the Hope Hospital comes into view you park near the sidewalk. >”Dude? Why’d ya stop?” Rainbow Dash asks. “I’ll join you girls later. I have to buy something for Derpy.” >”Uhh, why don’t you park in the hospital’s parking lot?” Rainbow says. “Just do what I say for once Rainbow…I’ll join you later.” >”Alright? Come on girls, let’s go.” >Fluttershy, Applejack and Sunset let out relieved sighs as soon as Pinkie Pie jumps out of the vehicle. >You chuckle. “She’s heavy isn’t she?” >Both Applejack and Sunset Shimmer giggle. >”I can’t feel my legs…” Fluttershy says as she strokes her thighs. >Once they all get out of your car you quickly drive away from the hospital and pull out the business card Rainbow’s dad gave you. “Paint n’ Spray…Scrap yard in Trenton; Canterlot City.” >You quickly drive there and make sure no cop is following you.   >Thirty minutes later. >You arrive to the little garage located next to the scrap yard and park your vehicle inside it. >”Yo, what a mess…” a man in coveralls says, “what brings you to mah humble business little guy?” “Heya, I was told you could fix beat up cars easily.” >”Maybe I can, maybe I can’t…who told you that?” “Rainbow Blaze.” >The man’s eyes go wide. >”Rainbow Blaze huh? Should’ve said that earlier…he phoned in a while ago, he said you wanted to get your car fixed before the Fall Formal huh?” “What the? How does he-” >”His little girl texted him earlier that you were lookin’ for a job so you could get this hunk of junk fixed to take your bitchy girlfriend to the Fall Formal isn’t that right?” >You chuckle. “Yeah…Rarity is sometimes like that. And I’m betting Rainbow Dash wants to see my car fixed to take her wherever she wants.” >”Hope you’re not getting yourself into trouble kid.” “I dug my grave yesterday already. I couldn’t care less…” >”What, you got Rainbow’s little girl pregnant?” “Nah, it’s nothing like that…anyways, how do you know Rainbow’s dad?” >”We’re good friends since high school. We’re both from Detrot, before Rainbow Dash was born we both moved away from that shithole.” “Really?” >”Yeah, her dad used to come to my business most nights asking for a new paintjob…and to get rid of some stuff, but I can’t talk about that. We used to chill and go grab a few beers afterwards.” >Huh. >Could it be…? >Nah. >”Anyways kid, I’ve got plenty of experience when it comes to…make a car look decent and ‘unsuspecting’ again. Rainbow’s dad says that he got you covered this time.” “Really?!” >”Yeah, he seems to like you a lot kid. Mah homie said that you came into his daughter’s life when she needed help the most. According to him you tuned down her narcissistic and selfish personality.” “Huh…” >”I respect that as well kid, but he said that you’d have to pay him back, so keep looking for that job.” >You let out a chuckle. “Yeah, I can live with that. I’ll have to thank him.” >”Which color do you want me to paint it kid?” “Metallic red is fine.” >”Ah, damn good choice kid, always a favorite of mine. Come pick it up tomorrow a’ight? And please bring Rainbow Dash. It’ll be a pleasure to see her face tomorrow.” “I will Mr…” >”Thunder Burst kid, that’s my name; but you can call me E-Z and don’t worry, your car is in good hands.” “Alright E-Z, I trust you will have my car ready for tomorrow.” >”Shieeeet; don’t ‘chu worry about yo car. If you get in trouble with the cops don’t hesitate to bring your car for a re-spray eh?” “What?” >He lets out a laugh. >”Just kiddin’. Holla at Rainbow Dash and mah buddy Blaze.” “Alright, thanks.”   >Two hours later. >You’re now Rainbow Dash. >And you just got out of Derpy’s room. >You’re glad to see her fine even after that overdose the doctors said she completely recovered from. >But she refused to give any details of what went down inside that building. >Most of your classmates have left. >The whole freakin’ school came to see her favorite goalkeeper and friend. >All but one person. >Anon. >”We should go Dashie, the doctor said that Derpy needed to rest a bit more,” Pinkie Pie says. “Yeah, I’m kind of waiting for Anon to show up. I texted him asking where he was, but he hasn’t answered back.” >”I saw Anon arrive just a few minutes ago,” Fluttershy says, “he was carrying a large bouquet.” >”A bouquet? How come he has never bought me one?!” Rarity says, “I’m his girlfriend! Ohh he’s gonna get it now.” >Finally Anon makes his appearance. >”Hiya. How’s Derpy?” He asks. “Fine, she really wants to see you…we dunno why.” >Rarity crosses her arms and looks away as soon as she sees the large bouquet Anon is carrying. >”Sorry I took this long, I just had to make sure about something,” Anon says as he looks around, looking a bit paranoid.” “What’s gotten into you man? You are acting kind of weird. Well, weirder than usual.” >”Me? Weird? Nah…if you excuse me I’ll see Derpy now.” “Alright, when you’re done can you take me back home?” >”Wait for me and we’ll talk about that later okay?” Anon says before entering the room.   >You’re now Anon. “Derpy?” >You see a very cute Derpy resting on her comfortable-looking bed, playing with the bed’s backrest controls. >”Bed goes up, bed goes down, bed goes…hiya Anon!” >You quickly rush and give her a hug, which she gladly accepts. >”I was wondering when you’d show up,” she says, holding you tight. “Forgive me Derpy…if I had accompanied you none of this would’ve happened.” >”Don’t apologize Anon,” she says, “you were right, it was my fault. I should’ve listened to you when you raised your suspicions. All I wanted was a new laptop, mine is pretty old and my parents can’t afford to buy me one right now.” >You finally break the hug and caress her cheeks. “Are you okay? Did they hurt you?” >”I-I don’t remember much. When I got there the guys at the door shoved me inside and placed duct tape on my mouth, the first thing I recalled were your worried words Anon…” “Derpy…” >”Then…they got me upstairs, they were saying something about Saddle Arabia, I don’t know, then they ordered me to undress,” she says while sobbing, “they were pointing guns at me, so I had to obey.” >You hug Derpy once again and let her cry on your shoulder. >”It was awful Anon! I had never been so scared in my whole life…those guns looked so real.” >They were real Derpy. >”They just kept taking photos of me as I undressed, and a disgusting man kept…ewww.” “Shh, you don’t have to recall such painful memories.” >”They ordered me to put on some disgusting looking lingerie, and if I didn’t comply they said that I would die.” “Damn those assholes.” >”Then a teen kept fondling me, oh I feel so humiliated Anon...why me?” “Shhh, you’re safe now Derpy. Thanks to that guy…trust me; I bet those fucks suffered a lot.” >”Oh yes, I heard the news. Last thing I remember before blacking out was slapping the guy that was touching me and yelling at the window, then I felt an awful pain on my arm as the fat guy injected me with something. Then I woke up on this bed with tons of doctors and my parents around my bed.” >Derpy wipes some tears away with the back of her hand. >”If I hadn’t-“ >You hug Derpy once again. “Shhh…you don’t have to punish yourself like this, instead be glad someone risked his life to save yours and the other two girls.” >”Yeah, those two girls are also fine according to the doctors. Although I can’t stop to feel a little bit guilty over the younger one, she…she-“ >Derpy cries once more. “It’s alright, let it all out Derpy,” you say while stroking her precious blonde hair, “I brought you a present, I dunno if it’s gonna help you feel better. But I hope it does.” >You place the bouquet on her legs. >”Ah! How did you know violets were my favorite flowers Anon?” >They are? “Lucky guess…” >Derpy picks them up and smells them. >”Ahh…these are delightful, thanks a lot coach.” >Derpy kisses your cheek. “Am, uh…thanks for that Derps. How long are you gonna stay here?” >”I’m feeling better now, perhaps I’ll stay here another day before the doctors give me a greenlight to leave.” “Is there anything you want that I could get you?” >Derpy ponders for a bit. >”Yeah, could you please let me borrow your notes when I get back to school? Exams are coming soon.” >You crack a cocky smile. “Don’t worry about school or the soccer team right now Derps, just do your best to recover alright? Don’t let this bad experience think badly of yourself, men in general or the man who had to kill people to get you to safety.” >”Yeah, I’ll do that…do you know why I wanted to talk to you so badly?” >Uh oh. >She knows. “Why?” >”While I was out, I swear I could feel your presence nearby. I had a dream that you came to save me from those meanies.” >You let out a chuckle. “Believe me Derpy, I somehow felt that you were in danger. But when I arrived to the building I found plenty of cops and forensics on that building taking the bodies away. I wouldn’t have hesitated to rescue you if I had gotten there sooner than that man did.” >”I somehow knew you’d say that. Rarity is such a lucky girl.” >You let out a chuckle. “Well, after teaching Rarity how to defend herself she uh, saved me as well from some muggers who had knocked me out cold first.” >”Really? Hahaha, oh coach. Don’t pull my leg like that.” “It’s true though, Rarity’s now a lethal weapon…perhaps I can teach you some moves if you feel helpless with the newest crime wave that is hitting the city.” >”Yeah, you should teach all of us something Anon!” >You stand up. “Yeah…I should. Alright Derpy. I hope you get better, if you need to talk about something else then I’m all ears okay?” >”Okay Anon, I’m glad you dropped by…will I see you here tomorrow?” “Yeah, I give you my word.”   >You close the door behind you before feeling a tap on your shoulder. >”How was Derpy Anon?” Fluttershy asks in her usual worried tone. “She said she’s feeling better, I hope it’s true. She told me what went down in that place…poor girl.” >”How come she wanted to see you so badly Anon?” Applejack asks. “I dunno, she just trusts me.” >”I can answer that question,” Rainbow Dash says, “according to her you’re an extremely reliable person Anon. In fact, the whole soccer team thinks that way, myself included.” “Really?” >Rainbow crosses her arms and sighs. >”I shouldn’t say this, but Derpy kind of likes you as well.” “Oh,” you say before touching the cheek Derpy kissed. >Rarity rolls her eyes. “Alright then, let’s get going…” >”Yeah, could you drive us home?” Rainbow asks. “Uhhh, yeah…about that-”   >You’re all riding the bus back to the suburbs. >”I can’t believe you went to get your car fixed in such drastic moment Anonymous,” Rarity says. “Hey, I had my reasons. Besides; I had the chance to see Derpy and to comfort her when she needed it.” >”So my dad paid the bill of your car as well huh?” “Yeah, I bet the next thing he’s going to say is ‘take my daughter to the Formal or else…’ ” you say with a chuckle. >”As if I wanted to go with you lame-o.” >”I’d rather rent a limo for all of us like the last time instead of riding in that thing you call a vehicle…” Rarity says. “You won’t say the same thing tomorrow.” >”Whatever.” >Sheesh, prissy much? >You turn around and look at Rainbow. “Rainbow, do you happen know Mr. Burst?” >”Who?” “Thunder Burst…” >”Ahhh! You mean Uncle E-Z don’t you? Yeah, he doesn’t like to be called by his real name, he’s a good friend of my dad. Why?” “He asked me if you could accompany me pick up my car tomorrow.” >”Really? Cool! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him. Yeah, I’ll go with you. Perhaps you could drive me somewhere afterwards.” “Like a date?” You jokingly say. >Rainbow Dash blushes. >”WHAT!?” Rarity yells. “I was just kidding Rares…” >Rarity squints at you, then she looks at the window before letting out her usually cute “hmph.” >In that moment… >The bus stops after two hooded men ask for it to stop and pick them up. >One guy enters the bus and takes out a gun from his hoody while the other does the same, except he aims his gun at the bus driver. >”ALRIGHT YOU FUCKS! YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS!” >Both Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie gasp. >”THAT’S RIGHT, THIS IS A ROBBERY! HAND OVER THE CASH AND PHONES AND NO ONE GETS HURT!” The hooded man yells. >How the fuck is this happening? >It’s 4:23 P.M. for goodness’ sake! >Fluttershy is in a state of shock. >Both her horrified expression and tears running down her face tells you that she has never experienced a situation like this before. >You need to pay more attention to the news. >”This is the fifth robbery this week!” The bus driver says. >”Shut up you greaseball bastard!” The hooded man yells at him before blowing a hard hit with the butt of his pistol at the driver’s head, which causes the driver to be knocked out instantly. >This time, all of your friends are in danger. >Applejack doesn’t know what to do. >Sunset Shimmer holds her purse. >Rainbow Dash grits her teeth. >Rarity looks tense. >Both Pinkie and Fluttershy have started to cry. >”That’s right…keep that cash going or else you won’t see your loved ones again.” >A sweet granny begs the asshole to give her back the pictures of her grandkids that she had in her purse. >But the guy slaps the poor granny hard, making some passengers feel helpless and at the same time, wanting to help her. >The passengers on the front end of the bus quickly give them their belongings. >Sunset Shimmer holds onto her purse even tighter. >Applejack quickly tries to hide her phone, but as soon as the guy notices he aims his gun at her. >”Don’t even think about it cowgirl…” >Applejack hands over her phone, and as soon as the guy comes near Fluttershy demanding her phone, she doesn’t react. >”ARE YOU DEAF OR SOMETHING BITCH!? DO YOU WANT TO DIE?!” >The guy pulls Fluttershy’s hair, making her yell. >”NO! PLEASE!” Pinkie Pie begs, “don’t hurt her!” >You quickly stand up and grab the guy’s hand that is holding the pistol. >”Hey!” >He tries to fire his gun at you, but you quickly grab his hand and hit it against a bus’s steel bar, making him lose his grip of the trigger. >You do it once again and the man winces in pain, which causes him to open his hand, enough for you to take his gun as you used to do back in the day. >You quickly grab his arm to bend it inwards and once you get a hold on the guy’s pistol you hit his head with the butt of the weapon hard enough to knock him out like his buddy did with the driver all within just seconds. >”Nonny! Watch out!” >As if you were seeing the man in slow motion, both scared from the cruel way you beat his friend and astonished at what he just witnessed, he lifts his face and prepares his gun at you >You quickly throw the gun at the other hooded man that stayed in front of the bus and dash at him, the gun hits him in the face and you take your chance to grab the gun from his hand by first punching him in the stomach. >Once. >Twice. >Three times. >The man falls on his knees forcing you to deliver a strong kick to his hand, breaking his fingers on the process. >The man yells from the immense amount of pain he’s currently experiencing, which makes you recall the time you killed Dark Ember and his friends. >You grab his head and kick it against another bus’s steel bar, knocking him out cold. >You grab both guns and take a closer look at them. >You quickly withdraw them and without thinking, you place them in your jeans. >”Whoa dude…” a passenger says, “you destroyed those bastards by yourself.” >The bus’s passengers start cheering and some of them quickly stand up to congratulate you. >You grab the loot bag from the unconscious person and hand the sweet old granny her purse. >”Thank you so much sonny…” the sweet old granny says. >A man calls the police with his phone he just recovered from the loot bag. >Fluttershy quickly stands up and dashes to give you a hug. >”Oh my goodness Anon, are you okay?” She says as she hugs you tight, “don’t do that again! I thought they were going to shoot at you!” >Fluttershy sobs on your shirt and at the same time, hits you with her fists. >”If I weren’t so weak…oh Anon, please tell me they didn’t hurt you!” >Fluttershy…how sweet of her to worry about you like this. “Flutters, it’s okay…it’s over.” >Sunset Shimmer clears some tears away from her cheeks, so do Applejack and Rarity. >They all stand up to hug you as well. >”Group hug!” Pinkie Pie says. >Rainbow Dash looks at the knocked out hooded men and shakes her head in disbelief. >”That.was.AMAZING!” Rainbow Dash cheers, “dude…holy heck, my heart is beating like, so fast.” >”Indeed,” Applejack says, “how’d ya learn to fight like that sugarcube?” “I just took some lessons AJ. That’s all…” >Some passengers keep cheering. >”About time someone showed this pricks a lesson.” >”My sister got mugged yesterday! Isn’t the Mayor going to do something?” >”How can I make a living with this shit on the streets?” >”Did you hear about yesterday’s murders? I think we have to do something as well.” >You quickly get off the bus, followed by your friends. >”Dude? Where are you going?” “Home.” >”Yeah, but…aren’t you going to wait for the police?” “Hell no, I don’t want to answer questions and get into trouble. You should do the same, the suburbs are ten minutes away anyways.” >You wipe away some sweat and leave your friends behind. >”Wait up dude!” >Your friends quickly catch up with you. >”Alright then, we’re coming with you. It’s getting late after all…” >”Ah hope Granny doesn’t worry too much for me,” Applejack says, “she hates it when I get home late.” >”Tell me about it,” Sunset Shimmer adds, “at least you guys live here in the suburbs, I have to catch like three buses to get to my apartment.” “I’ll give you a ride home Sunset, and to you as well Applejack.” >”Thank you sugarcube.” >”Yeah, thanks Anon. Won’t your dad get mad?” “Nah, Pinkie Pie won’t join us…” >”Heeeey!” Pinkie Pie says feeling slightly offended. >You let out a chuckle. “Relax Pinkie, it’s just a joke.” >You accompany your friends walk their way back home, leaving Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity behind. >Each girl said their goodbyes to you in their usual way. >This time Fluttershy couldn’t kiss you in the lips like she always does in secret, a hug and a thankful bow was enough. >Bowing? Somehow fits Fluttershy’s shy personality, but she should lay down with the anime for a bit before she calls you Anon-senpai or some shit. >Rainbow Dash just sighed when she found out her dad was still out working, so she just punched your arm as usual and waved goodbye at her friends. >Pinkie Pie hugged you until you ran out of breath, then she went inside her home. >And Rarity, well…she gave you a well-deserved kiss on the lips, and whispered to you that you should teach her how to disarm thugs as well. >As soon as you got home you asked your dad if you could borrow his vehicle, and seeing that Pinkie Pie wasn’t accompanying you he said yes. >Then, you dropped off Applejack at her farm, Big Mac nodded at you and Granny Smith started asking her why she didn’t call home. >Minutes later. >You’re driving Sunset Shimmer to her apartment. >”Wow Anon…that was just too unreal, weren’t you afraid?” “I was, I thought they were going to shoot at you guys for some reason. I couldn’t allow that.” >”It’s just material stuff Anon, we were afraid you were going to get shot!” “You were clinging pretty hard on that purse…something tells me you had something of value inside.” >”Well, you’d be right about that. My paycheck is inside, but nothing could be compared to us losing you!” “Don’t worry about me Sunset.” >Sunset Shimmer looks sad. >But then she smirks. >”I gotta admit, you were pretty brave…” >[SQUEALING INTERNALLY] >”The way you disarmed those jerks, wow. How’d you learn to do that?” “Took some classes, that’s all.” >”Rarity knows how to do that?” “Not yet, I wasn’t expecting to see many guns after all so I didn’t teach her how to do that.” >Sunset Shimmer sighs. >”Poor Anon…those meanies didn’t hurt you did they?” She says using an infantile tone of voice. “Maybe they did…will a kiss cure my aches?” >Sunset Shimmer blushes. >”Maybe it will…” >Oh fuck, you’re actually doing this. >Don’t lose your cool and just drive Sunset home. “Where do you live Sunset?” >”In the Pink Zone, heh…if you lived here there wouldn’t be so much crime now.” “Sheesh, ever considered moving away?” >”I’ve tried, but it’s the only place in Canterlot where the rent is too low for the four of us to afford it.” “The four of…ah, you mean the Dazzlings?” >”Yeah, back in my old job I could afford to pay the rent by myself. But I really hated it. My boss often yelled at me, and he even harassed me.” >It seems you found the next person on your hit list. “That sucks, glad you quit that job.” >”Yeah, the Dazzlings are nice roomates. I mean, they use my stuff sometimes, and wear my clothes…but other than that they help around with the chores.” >You picture Sonata wearing Sunset’s red thong. >Unf. >”Anyways, I really appreciate what you did for us a few moments ago. But please Anon, be careful…” “…I will.” >You park in front of the shitty building where Sunset lives. >”Thanks a lot Anon, I’ll see you tomorrow okay?” “Yeah Sunset, have a good night.” >Sunset gives you a kiss on your right cheek and a comforting hug, as if she was trying to protect you. >Then she exits your car and climbs the stairs to her apartment. >She waves goodbye from the hallway and you wave back. >As soon as she enters you pull your hair in frustration. >Holy shit, what is going on in Canterlot? >Could somehow Dark Ember’s death have triggered a rise in crime? >Derpy, your friends, Sunset… >Is this your fault?! >You grab a pistol from your jeans and look at it. >That poor little girl, that pretty teen. >You recall Derpy’s tears, and the desperate cries you tried to calm down. >Then you recall the hobo you had to kill, and the thugs you murdered with no sign of compassion. >Everything is definitely your fault… >You open your mouth and place the muzzle of the pistol on the roof of your head. >You have your finger on trigger ready. >(“I wouldn’t do that if I were  you…you can fix this yourself, if you aren’t afraid of spilling more blood.”) >You drop the gun on the floor and let out a sigh. “I know…” >(“The men you fought are now under custody, you’re quite a selfless kid, you protected a bus full of people and the Elements of Harmony without thinking of your safety for a single second.”) “Is that a good thing?” >(“Yes, in these moments you musn’t be weak. Perhaps this new chance you have will allow you to be happy with the woman you love.”) “Rarity?” >(“No, the one you truly desire…”) >The figure vanishes, leaving you dumbfounded. >You look at Sunset Shimmer’s apartment and see her delightful shadow talking to her roommates. >Then you receive two text messages. >One from Rainbow Dash and one from Fluttershy. >[“Hey dude, can’t wait to know how your car looks tomorrow! Sleep tight! – RD.”] >[“Have a good night Anon, see you tomorrow <3! xoxo – FS.”] >You sigh. >(“Your friends would be devastated if you died, you wouldn’t want that now would you? Your life is perfect at this point, you’re popular and loved by almost everyone in school. Keep your alter-ego a secret and you’ll succeed.”) >You pick up the gun from the floor and strap it to your jeans once again, then you drive back to your home.   >Meanwhile in Dark Blood’s hideout. >Some of Dark Blood’s workers are talking to each other as they produce the Detrot famous drugs: Pop, a green and purple pill and Joy, a sky-blue pill. >”Man, did you hear about what happened on 51st street?” >”Yeah, what the fuck was that all about? Could it have been a rogue detective or what?” >The other goon shrugs. >”Dunno, but the boss ain’t gonna like it, listen to that? Pink Penny is already getting yelled at by the boss.” >”Oh shit, we better hurry up or else Pink Penny will order his other goons to beat us.” >Pink Penny can be heard talking on the phone from his ‘office’. >(”We can’t investigate further boss, the pigs are all over the building! All we know from an eye-witness is that some fuck wearing a rooster mask broke into the building and left with the merchandise in a beat up car!” >… >(“Yes, I said rooster- wait. You can’t possibly mean.”) >… >(“The Masked Maniac? Isn’t he in prison?”) >… >(“Yeah, the ‘89-‘91 Mareami murders, how could I forget them? But what do they have to do with us? I mean come on! It’s 2014!”) >… >(“Alright, I’ll be on the lookout for a brown beat up car, as well as a jacket wearin’ masked man. See ya boss.”) >A goon scoffs. >”See? What did I tell you?” >Pink Penny exits his office and approaches the goons. >”What’s taking you so long?” >”The reaction needs time…this batch won’t be ready for tomorrow’s morning.” >”If the boss wants a whole batch of Pop for tomorrow’s morning and he says the reaction takes enough time then it’s enough time…it ain’t gonna break my heart to get you replaced scumbag. I run things here remember that.” >The goons comply and keep working on the reaction. >”Uhh? What goes next?” >”Caustic Soda goes next,” Pink Penny says with a sigh, “fuck’s sake people…”   >The next day. >You walk into the school’s premises feeling like absolute shit. >Why? Because you couldn’t sleep at all, the reason being the nightmares that kept waking you up every thirty minutes or so. >”Hey Anon,” Trixie happily greets you before her smile turns into a scowl, “you don’t look well today.” “Hey Trixie~,” you say as a yawn escapes your mouth, “I’m fine…don’t worry.” >”Had a bad night huh?” “Something like that…I had this wonderful dream where I died.” >”Huh? Anon?! Don’t say that!” >You let out a chuckle. “Relax, I’m just pulling your leg.” >Trixie still looks a bit concerned.  “I said not to worry Trix,” you before as you try to get your locker open. >”Anon? That’s Trixie’s locker…” she says, giving you a concerned look. “Well shit…” >”Are you sure you’re okay?” “Well, I’m already here so I guess I can’t go back home…” >Trixie opens her eyes wide for a bit. >“Maybe you didn’t sleep well because of Derpy?” “Derpy…well, she said she’d be fine, but I’m not buying it. I’m willing to help her.” >”Yeah but, all the things you’ve done for us…but, have you ever worried about yourself?” >Trixie? Of all people? Showing empathy towards anyone that isn’t her? >Wow. “I guess not.” >Trixie smirks. >”Anon Anon Anon…don’t worry too much about people, it’s not your fault Derpy got into a situation like that-“ >… >”-But you shouldn’t feel guilty at all, luckily that guy everyone keeps talking about got her out safe and sound. Who knows how he knew there was something going on there? Not even I, The Great and Powerful Trixie knows.” “While it was cool and all I wish people could give it a rest to that, it’s too damn morbid and if Derpy is involved it only makes it worse for her privacy.” >”The Great and Powerful Trixie doubts that.” “Excuse me?” >”More eye-witnesses popped out last night according to the media, they will keep talking about that incident. Honestly Anon! Do you live under a rock or something?! Nothing like this has ever happened in Canterlot!” >Back in Detrot this shit wasn’t news. “Well, what do you think about this whole thing Trix? Did the man who broke into the building do good or bad?” >”Is that even a question? Trixie is glad that her friend Derpy is unharmed, that scum doesn’t deserve to wander around our streets!” “That’s all I needed to hear.” >Perhaps the voice was right. >You’re a key element in this new reality. >And to think you were going to blow your brains yesterday. >The bell rings, telling you that it’s time to go to your class already. >You try to open your locker once again. >”That’s Trixie’s locker…again.” “Whoops,” you say and let out an awkward chuckle afterwards.   >Lunch time. >”Err? Sugarcube?” “Hmm?” >”You haven’t taken a bite out of your lunch, yer’ just playin’ with your food…” “Huh, I guess I’m not that hungry.” >”Can I have it?” Pinkie Pie says. “Sure Ms. Big thighs…enjoy.” >Pinkie Pie doesn’t mind your mean-spirited comment and begins to eat your lunch anyways. >”Is something wrong Anon?” Rainbow Dash asks, “is it about what went down yesterday?” “I guess…things are so messed up right now and they weren’t like that before. I mean, what the hell is going on?” >Rainbow shrugs. >”Beats me…Silver Fang and his gang are causing havoc. Big deal.” “Yeah, but…Silver Fang is nothing but a jackass. I bet someone is behind his actions. Rarity and I saw a few of his goons armed with shotguns.” >”I must admit, I find that to be pretty strange,” Rarity says. “And now some of his assholes kidnap Derpy for goodness knows what. This can’t be their doing.” >”Look at Detective Anon everyone,” Rainbow Dash says, “come on Anon, don’t think too hard over this. The police will take care of everything.” >“Indeed,” Rarity says, “I bet the Mayor is on the case.” “I’m not too sure about that, what do you think about this whole thing Sunset?” >Sunset Shimmer shrugs. >”I dunno, crime has spiked where I live, but nothing has happened to us so far.” “Except we were about to get mugged yesterday, holy smokes. This feels a bit too close to home.” >”Wait, was it like this back in Mareami?” Rainbow Dash asks. “Mareami? Oh oh, yeah Mareami…well, things were difficult for a few days, albeit crime was not as shitty as it was back in1989.” >Rarity raises an eyebrow. >”I did some research,” Sunset Shimmer says, “according to a website there were like, masked men…mercenaries of some sort, that went on killing sprees targeting Russian mobsters, one strange thing about their MO is that they left a red circle crossed with three lines before murdering. See?” >Sunset Shimmer shows you the icon with her phone. “…that’s a cool logo.” >”Honestly Anon? Didn’t you hear what I said? They used these logos to identify and murder people!” >Whoops, Sunset Shimmer got mad. “Well, that’s messed up. I guess the guy that got Derpy out resembles one of those mercenaries. Guess they’re hunting down Silver Fang.” >Fluttershy trembles in fear. >”Oh no, I don’t like how that sounds. I could never look at someone in the eyes after knowing he has taken another person’s life.” >She’s dead serious. “Girls…let’s just forget about this whole thing okay? Derpy is fine, we’re also fine. Those pricks that kidnapped Derpy are dead and the ones we rain into are in jail. Nothing of value was lost. The masked guy probably left Canterlot and should not be talked about…at all.” >”But-“ “Just eat your lunch for cryin' out loud…I don’t like to talk about crime, death or shit like that at a time like this, especially not in front of poor Flutters who looks like she's about to puke. Ain't that right Flutters?” >She shyly nods.   >Your friends keep eating their lunch as you pull out your smartphone to check for available jobs. >But first, you decide to check your MyStable account’s news feed. >The first thing that pops up is even more information about the crime you committed. >(Masked man…shotgun blasts…fire extinguisher…brown car.) >Fucking eye-witnesses. >You must be careful from now on. >You close the news feed and start looking for part time jobs. >Can’t fail your and Rainbow Dash’s dad. >But, you’ll be tied with many responsibilities. >School, the soccer team, and now a job? >You sigh. >This is too much for you. >”So, I assume you girls have a date for next week’s Fall Formal?” Rarity asks. >Son of a… >You totally forgot about the Fall Formal. >”Nope,” Rainbow Dash says. >”Nah,” Applejack says. >”No,” Fluttershy says. >”No,” Sunset Shimmer says. >”Yes, I mean…no, hehehe.” Pinkie Pie happily says. >Rarity gasps. >”Really? Why not?” >Rainbow Dash shrugs. >”Eh, I don’t feel like coming to this Fall Formal,” Rainbow Dash says, “I’d rather stay home and watch TV.” >”But Rainbow Dash! You just can’t miss the Fall Formal!” >”No one has asked me out. Who cares…” Rainbow Dash says feeling a bit disappointed. >In that moment, your friend Crystal Blade taps Rainbow Dash’s shoulder. >”ehmm…Rainbow Dash?” >”Beat it nerd,” she says without hesitation. >You shrug at your pal, feeling sorry for him. >”I did all I could Anon,” he says before walking back to his table.   >Rainbow Dash sighs. “Well, who says we can’t have fun together huh? Although we’ll have to wear masks I think that’ll make it even more fun. I actually dig mine.” >Rainbow Dash ponders for a bit. “You know what would be funny? If someone ended up mistaking their date,” you say in an attempt to cheer up your friends, “I can picture Radiant Light trying to make a move on Trixie but hitting on Bon Bon instead.” >Your friends smile and giggle a bit. >It’s working! “Or maybe a certain guy could invite a lady who’s wearing, I dunno…a turtle or a bunny mask, to dance with him.” >Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy blush and then look at each other before giggling. >Rarity clears her throat. >”Then I guess the lady with the cat mask would ‘knock’ some sense into him for leaving his actual date behind.” >You chuckle. “And then when she wasn’t looking he’d ask a lady with a dog mask to dance because he doesn’t mind pain.” >Applejack chuckles and Rarity scoffs. “You know? I’m kind of looking forward to this Formal. For once I’ll experience a good event with no drama involved. This will be fun, and it’ll help us to chill.” >Rainbow Dash smirks. >”You know what Anon? You’re right. I’m looking forward to it as well.” “That’s the spirit Dash!” >”Well, Nonny kind of knows which masks we’re going to wear, so stop spoiling the surprise for goodness sake!” Pinkie Pie somewhat angrily says at you. “All except for one, Sunset’s.” >”That’ll remain a secret between Pinkie and me,” Sunset says with a cocky smirk, “and Anon is right, the masks will make this Formal quite interesting. I can’t wait for the Fall Formal to begin.” >”Won’t we recognize each other’s voice?” The smart farm girl says. >”With loud music playing? Nuh-uh! Besides, the masks change the way we sound anyways,” Pinkie Pie happily says, “so I think Anon’s idea of making everyone ‘anonymous’ is very likely.” >The girls laugh at Pinkie’s clever choice of words. “Heh…” >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8BYdyBMojI >You quietly and calmly sip some iced tea from its bottle and keep looking for part-time jobs. >Your friends keep talking about next week’s Fall Formal. >It seems to be the only thing in their mind. >All except for one girl. >Sunset Shimmer. >You quickly take a glance at her and realize that she wasn’t paying attention to her friends, but instead; she was staring at you. >Once she notices your glance she looks away and pretends to listen to what her friends are saying. >You wonder what’s on her mind. >You can’t help but look at her beautiful hair and delightful smile. >You’re lost in her beauty. >Then, you look at Fluttershy. >Giggling and smiling as if no one was looking at her, caressing her hair as she talks with her friends. >Then you look at your girlfriend. >Talking with that fancy accent of hers, even with her eyes closed. >Her hair looks as astonishing as always, and her skin is fair and delightful. >Then, you look at Rainbow Dash. The sweetest tomboy in the world. >You miss how she used to be your girlfriend in the previous timeline. >Sure, she was kind of jealous and a bit of a cunt, but she had her reasons. >All you did was fuck around with her friends and her feelings. >Goodness knows what she truly feels for you under that thick skin of hers, a skin full of selfishness, pride and insecurity.   >School hours come to an end. >”This is going to be awesome!” Rainbow Dash says, “Metallic Red?! Wow! Uncle E-Z’s favorite color.” “I really don’t think he’ll have it ready for today Rainbow.” >Rainbow Dash scoffs. >”Please, you are underestimating uncle E-Z’s skills Anon, he’ll have it ready in no time.” “Yeah, yeah…” you say with a tone of disbelief. >After a lengthy bus ride full of sweaty people you finally arrive to the little Pay-N-Spray garage. >You find E-Z sitting on a comfortable looking chair reading an adult magazine, and as soon as he notices Rainbow Dash he throws it away from him as far as he can. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5YDqLqeABw >”Uncle E-Z!” Rainbow Dash yells before running towards him. >”Yo! Rainbow Dash! What’s crackin’?” >They both share a hug. >”So you came to see your little boyfriend’s restored car huh?” >She smirks and pushes him away. >”Always tryin’ to make me mad huh?” She says. >”Just sayin’…I’m a friend of your old man after all.” >She rolls her eyes in a playful way. “Hey there Mr. E-Z,” you greet him, “you said that you’d have my car ready today right?” >”Of course kid, we’ve had little to no work lately, and even if we did your car would’ve been the top priority,” E-Z looks at Rainbow Dash with a confident smile, “just ’cus Rainbow Blaze told us to fix it.” >Rainbow’s dad has great friends. >”Here’s your car kid, enjoy it.” >The man takes off a blanket from your vehicle and- “HOLY-“ >”-CRAP!” >”Two satisfied costumers!” >”DUDE! Look at this car! Holy…it’s not a piece of junk anymore!” >You let out a satisfied laugh. “I can’t believe this, I owe your dad a lot Rainbow…” >”I know. Can we ride it already Uncle E-Z?” >”Hell yeah, by the way kid. Remember the promise you made to Rainbow Blaze…” “Huh?” >”That you’d take me anywhere I wanted to Anon,” Rainbow Dash says, “have you forgotten already?” >You laugh. “Oh, that’s right! I almost forgot, at least you won’t ask me to take you to a boring place like Rarity always does.” >Rainbow Dash chuckles. >You both get inside the car. ”Whoa…how did he?” >Rainbow shrugs. >”Uncle E-Z’s secret.” >You turn the engine on and thank E-Z once again before driving away. >”Listen to that engine Anon!” “Engine? Look at this shit! E-Z installed a music player as well!” >You turn the music player on. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0PCYPpCW2g >It seems E-Z left his mark behind. >Absolutely disgusting. >You grab a flash drive from your backpack and stick it on the music player. “Say, do you wanna listen to some vaporwave?” >”Vapor what now?” >As soon as Rainbow Dash finishes that sentence the music starts playing. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8GW6sLrK40k >”Wow…that sure is, something.” “You’ll end up liking it.” >Rainbow Dash bobs her head to the music. >”Uncle E-Z never fails to deliver. Hah! You owe my dad a lot of money…and I bet a couple of favors as well,” she says in a cocky way. >You chuckle. “Yes.” >”Yes what?” “I’m taking you to the Fall Formal.” >Rainbow Dash gets all flustered. >”What the?! Not that kind of favor you idiot!” She angrily says. “Chill, I’m pulling your leg…” >Rainbow Dash shakes her head and stays silent for a bit. >You just focus on driving. >”You know Anon, even if everyone gave you a hard time and laughed at you over this car…and while it’s quite old, I think it’s cute. It fits you pretty well.” >You crack a smile. >”What?” “How sweet of you to say such things Rainbow, thanks.” >Rainbow Dash blushes and immediately looks at the window. “But I couldn’t care less what people think about it, the only thing that matters to me is your thoughts on it.” >Rainbow Dash cracks a smile as well. “I’m glad that your dad made me promise that I’d drive you wherever you wanted to, we’ll both have a great time.” >”I already am…I enjoy hanging out with you every time I can Anon.” >Wow. Cute. >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjpeQgD4LCs >”Well, I have an idea. Why don’t we take things slow for a while and drive to the creek? We can get away from the chaos that is currently invading Canterlot.” “Take things slow?! Who are you and what have you done with Rainbow Dash?!” You mockingly say. >Rainbow Dash giggles in a cute way. >”Come on now, maybe we can have an ice cream first now that Mr. and Mrs. Cake’s shop is open. And don’t worry about money, after all the expenses you’ve made it’ll be my treat this time.” “Ice cream? Yeah…I’d like that a lot, but can we drop by the hospital first? I promised Derpy that I’d go visit her today.” >Rainbow smiles. >”Yeah, why not? Poor girl must’ve had a hard time in there.” >You crack a smile and drive towards the hospital Derpy’s staying at. >”I hope she’s okay…I don’t want to imagine what those creeps did to her.” “She said that nothing happened to her, and I trust that’s the absolute truth.” >”That guy…you know, the one that broke into the building to save her.“ >Urk. “What about him?” >”I’ve been thinking a lot about that whole incident…if something happened to me-“ “Don’t even imagine such things Rainbow Dash…” >Rainbow looks through her window. “Remember what I told you a few days ago? That I’d never forgive myself if something happened to you? That I promised that I’d be willing to give everything I have to keep you safe and sound?” >Rainbow blushes. >”…Anon.” “I’m not sure if I would go to THAT extreme, but you have my word that I’d do everything I can to protect you.” >Rainbow Dash scoffs. >”I hope, for your sake, that you told Rarity the same thing. Otherwise she won’t be too happy with you.” >You chuckle. “Let’s forget about Rarity for a while now okay? Whenever she asks me to accompany her to the mall I die inside a little bit.” >Rainbow Dash squints and smirks. >”You don’t sound too happy with being her boyfriend Anon.” “I-I never implied such thing.” >”Then why are you asking me to stop talking about her?” >You sigh. “If you want to keep talking about her so much then fine, let me tell you about the times we’ve made out.” >Rainbow Dash sucks air through her teeth, looking hurt by that comment. >”N-nah, I’ll definitely pass on that…” >You smirk. >”Is she a good kisser?” >wat. “Excuse me?” >”I just wanted to know if she’s-“ “Why would you want to know that? Don’t tell me…” >”What?” “Don’t tell me you want to KISS HER!?!” >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2tHG6Okpso >Rainbow Dash’s face goes completely red and starts yelling at you. >”WHAT?! ARE YOU INSANE?!” >You start laughing at her. “AHAHAHA, oh Rainbow Dash. I should’ve known…” >”SHUT UP ANON! GOSH! I HATE YOU!” >Rainbow Dash punches your right arm with both her fists. “OW! HAHAH! Stop it Dashie!” >”You idiot! Why are you always like this towards me?!” “It’s just a prank Rainbow! Stop punching me! I can’t drive like this!” >Rainbow Dash starts scratching your arm, making you wince a bit in pain. “URK! Dash?! Hahah…stop it!” >”Apologize!” “Me?! You’re the one hurting me…and the one that wants to kiss Rarity.” >”I don’t want to kiss Rarity!” Rainbow Dash yells, “you’re a sicko!” “Both you and Rarity sharing a kiss? That’s kind of hot…” >Rainbow Dash feels utterly disgusted by your lewd comment. “Would you let me join in? Come on, I bet Rarity is into that sort of stuff.” >Rainbow Dash calms down and takes a deep breath. >You see your damaged arm and look at her. “Sheesh, I think you overdid this. Look at my arm, for crying out loud! I think it’s bleeding.” >Rainbow Dash chuckles. >”That’s what you get for being a dickhead, but don’t think you’re safe. Because I’m so telling Rarity this…” >Rainbow Dash takes her smartphone out of her blue jacket’s pocket. “…You wouldn’t dare.” >”Watch me.” >Rainbow Dash speed dials Rarity’s number. “Don’t. Please don’t.” >”It’s too late now Anon.” >You quickly park your car on the side of the street and turn the engine off. “Dash! Please! I’m sorry, I was just joking!” >You hear the dial beeps coming from Rainbow’s phone. “You better stay quiet or else I’ll…” >”You’ll what?” “Fuck it, here goes nothing.” >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCIYjIVDNGI >You quickly ‘dash’ at Dash and place your lips on top hers. >”?!” >[“Hello? Rainbow Dash?”] Rarity’s voice is heard coming from the speaker. >Rainbow doesn’t push you away from her, she flinched at first. Now she’s under your control. >[“Hello?”] >Perfect moment to snatch the phone away from her hand and hang up, giving you time to place her phone in your pocket. >Rainbow Dash snaps out of the trance you put her on once you achieved your goal. >Once she realizes what you’ve done she blushes intensely. “If I ask you to stay quiet, you stay quiet Dash!” >”W-w-what the heck was that for?!” “To demonstrate you how I kiss Rarity. Are you happy now?” >”…Yes.” “What?” >”Yes I am, that felt so good…”   >Should you keep going or cut it out?
