A Shadowy Stranger In Equestria

Chapter Three: The Tree house and The Dragon.

I was slowly trying to get the hang of walking with four legs, not to mention the God awful foot wear that I have. The purple pony, or as her friends call her, Twilight was walking me to her library/house as she so clearly explained it to me. We finally arrived and once more it seemed that things could get much worse for me.

"Um…Twilight?" I asked. “Yes Jet?”

"Your Library/House its…it’s a tree."

“Well it is a tree house after all silly” she replied cheerfully.

"But wouldn’t it make more sense…you know what never mind just take me inside please." I didn’t need to start up another conversation about making sense of things, as the whole situation itself was irregular on its own.

“Well make yourself at home” Twilight said, once more with a cheerful nature.

"Thanks. Hey could I have a glass of water or something?" I hadn’t had a decent drink in ages since I got here so I was quite thirsty.

“Sure thing. Spike can you get some water for our guest!?” she shouted. While I was waiting, I was gazing at the Library as it seemed to be built right into the tree itself. I had to admit, the design was genius. Finally my water arrived.

“Here you go, er, sir” said a young voice.

"Thanks I haven’t had a drink in-" I came face to face with what appeared to be some sort of lizard-like creature with purple scales and green spots. Of course, I freaked out.

"Ahhhh! A monster! Quick Twilight, kill it before it eats us!" I yelled while pushing her towards the beast.

“I’m not a monster, I’m a dragon” said the dragon.

"That’s even worse! Get it Twilight! Kill it with fire or something!" Talking ponies was enough for me, but talking dragons? Now this was just getting ridiculous.

“Calm down Jet. This is Spike, he’s my assistant in the Library and studying magic and friendship” Twilight assured me.

"Twilight, what the fuck is a dragon doing in your damn house, er I mean tree house?"

“Hey! Watch your mouth, I’m a baby dragon after all” said Spike. “Spike don’t be rude” said Twilight.

“The doctor said that he needs to be in a quite spot where he won’t be startled so easily”.

“Seriously Twilight, you do know that he just used…that word before” said Spike. Twilight looked as confused as I did when I first woke up from my so called ‘coma’.

“What word, Spike?” she asked. Seriously, she did not even notice but the baby dragon did. At this point I was greatly concerned with who I was staying with.

“You know the F U C K word” Spike whispered to Twilight.

“OH. I just thought that that was a side effect to his head injury”. I don’t know what’s worse. Staying with someone who has no idea what cursing is, or the fact that there was a demon in her house. “Seriously” Spike and I said at once.

“Well its getting late, but I don’t think I have a bed for you yet Jet. Sorry, you’ll have to share with Spike” she said. Twilight sounded regretful in that sentence, so I knew from that point that tonight was going to be eventful.

“What!? I’m not sharing my bed with some weirdo who has no taste in clothes as Rarity would put it” Spike said rudely.

"Hey! I didn’t exactly choose to wear these, so shut up. At least I don’t sleep with a blanket or call for mommy in the middle of the night!"

“You take that back!” he yelled. "Why don’t you make me, bitch!" Clearly I was not here to make friends with a bloody dragon. “That’s it! Come here!” Spike launched himself at me as we began to wrestle each other on the floor. I attempted to punch him continuously with my hooves, while he painfully clawed at me. Twilight rolled her eyes and finally stopped us. She used her so called ‘magic’ and levitated me and Spike away from each other. “Stop it both of you! Now you’re both going to have to share a bed while I find one for you Jet. Until then, you will both have to get alone with each other. Ok Spike?” she glared at him waiting for an answer. “Uh, yes Twilight”

“Ok Jet?” She steered at me like my mother would when I stole or broke something. "Ugh, fine" I replied grimly.

“Good now both of you go to sleep”.

----------The Next Morning-------

I was walking down the stairs, groaning as that stupid dragon’s scales kept digging into my back all night. I was greeted by a familiar smell: French toast. “Good Morning, Jet. Good Morning Spike” Twilight greeted us with delight. "Good Morning Twilight" I said with a mumble. “What’s wrong Jet? Did you not sleep well?” asked Twilight with concern.

"Uh, no. Spike’s stupid scales kept rubbing into my spine all night and at some point drooled on me and breathed smoke into my face" I replied while directing my glare at Spike, as if telling him that he was an asshole. “Well I wouldn’t have if you had managed to shut your mouth and share the blanket! You honestly talk so much in your sleep” said Spike with anger.

"I do not talk in my sleep" I said with annoyance. “Pff, a likely story” he said rolling his eyes in disbelieve. "Hey you two don’t make me use my levitation spell again” Twilight threatened getting ready to use her horn of death as I called it. "Oh God no! You almost killed me by spinning me around the damn room like that!"

“Yeah, I almost threw up ten scrolls from that. If you span me any faster, I would have set fire to the book shelves” spike said while pointing at a burnt area near the door.

“Well then stop bickering. Jet I having a spa day with the girls today, would you mind helping Spike with his chores?”

"Sure, it’s not like I have anything better to do". Before Spike could object to it, Twilight glared at him while her horn glowed. Clearly she was going to get Spike and I to get along, whether with force or not. “Great and while I’m out I’ll see if Applejack has a spear bed that she could lend me for you Jet. Ok I’ll be back soon bye” said Twilight as she left with her satchel.

“You know that I hate you at the moment, right?” asked Spike. "Oh you have no idea how much I hate you at the moment" I replied.

---------At the Day Spa--------

“So Twilight dear, how is Spike getting along with your new guest?” asked Rarity while she was getting a hooficure. “Ugh, it’s a nightmare. Those two argue over the most ridiculous things! I caught Spike stealing Jet’s glasses so he would bump into things, and Jet tried to glue spike to the ceiling. He managed to learn how to fly but only for a few minutes” Twilight said with grief. “Wow, who knew that he could be so much trouble” said Rainbow Dash who was busy getting a massage.

“Twilight, um, maybe I could go talk to them at some point. They could come stay with me for a bit” said Fluttershy. “Hey, that’s sounds like a good idea Fluttershy. But I’ll have to trick them into doing it. Getting them to work together is harder than getting Rainbow Dash to have a hooficure” said Twilight.

“Hey! I can have one when I want to” claimed Rainbow Dash.

“Oh really? Well why don’t ya'll have one now then?” asked Applejack.

“Um…my hooves are too delicate at the moment” said Rainbow Dash. Everyone laughed at Rainbow’s excuse.

-----------Back At the Library--------

“Hey Jet, have you seen my apron?” asked Spike. He then realized that there was something dripping from the ceiling. It was glue and Spike’s jaw dropped when he saw what was up there which was a note and his apron. “Grrrrrrr! Damn it Jet I hate you! Well I might as well see what this jerk had to say on this note” Spike said begrudgingly to himself.

The note read:

Dear Dumbass,

I’ve grown really bored from waiting around for Twilight, so I have gone off into town to see where she is and what she is up to. Don’t try to stop me or that apron won’t be the only thing glued to the ceiling.

P.S. Get a real MALE hobby you pussy.

From Jet VanFox.

“Man, Jet can be a real jerk. I hope Twilight gets rid of him. The sooner the better”.
