Just another Pony.

Just another Pony- Chapter 9- Making up with Twi / meeting the CMC

Sorry for the really short chapter! My schedule has been sort of hectic, I will keep writing though!

“Oh, Uhh, hey Twi!”

“Don't 'hey Twi' to me!”

“What?”

“Answer my question. Where were you last night and why didn't you come back home?”

“Just let me explain. I was at Shy's-”

“I knew it!”

“Excuse me Twi?”

“I saw you walking her home. She is perfectly capable of walking herself home. Cheating on me already Tybalt?”

“What? NO! Nononononononononononono let me explain!”

“Save it for your -new- mare friend. I'm going to Rarity's.”

With that Twi left before I could stop her and explain. Why would she think I cheated on her? I got THE STARE. How was I supposed to help that?

---------------Rarity's boutique; Twilight's POV----------------

Twilight had to get to Rarity's. She was crying thanks to where she left Tybalt.

“Rarity? Are you in there?”

“Come in darling?”

“Thank you Rarity.”

“Any time dear- Oh, why are you crying?” Rarity couldn't help but wonder if it had anything do to with Tybalt, but how could he make her cry? Surely he wouldn't do anything bad. He's just so sweet!

“Tybalt cheated on me.”

“WHAT? Explain to me darling. Spare no detail, none at all.”

With that Twilight recapped Rarity on what happened last night, and there fight this morning. She told her about watching Tybalt walk Fluttershy home, and where she saw him in their window sleeping in Fluttershy's bed.

“Twilight, don't you think you overreacted?”

“What do you mean?”

“Did you give Tybalt a chance to explain himself?”

“N-no, I just charged off. Why?”

“Every one of those things can have an explanation. One where he DOESN'T cheat on you. When he walked her home, maybe she didn't want to get her feed for her animals wet! Maybe he got a cold and passed out where Fluttershy carried him up to her bed, where she tried to keep him warm! Honestly darling, I thought you would have given a chance to explain himself. Let's go to Fluttershy's and get her side of the story before we make assumptions.”

“*sniff* T-thanks Rarity.”

With that the two girls walked outside of town towards the familiar cottage. They were greeted by the sight of a yellow Pegasus feeding her animals.

“Good morning Fluttershy.” As always, she yelps and gives a jump back, although this time is was a bit distant.

“G-good morning girls. What brings you here?”

“Well darling, we wanted to ask you about what happened last night when the storm started.”

“Eep!” With a little yelp she dashed into her cottage, leaving two unicorns outside to wonder.

“What was that?”

“Hmm, well Twilight, it seems as if she is hiding something.”

Just then Spike came running up from the road. He had a scroll in his hand with the official seal of the Princess herself.

“Twi! Twi! I just got a letter! While eating gemstones no less.”

“What does it say Spike?”

“Ahem.

Dear Twilight Sparkle:

To my faithful student, there isn't much time. I felt a disturbance yesterday which could only mean one thing. Your friend Fluttershy has recently used 'the stare'. Please make sure the soul affected is alright and not in disrepair. A fully grown dragon could hardly stand it; I'm not sure what it would do to a normal pony.”

“What does this mean Rarity?” Twilight thought Rarity had the answer to this.

“if I'm not mistaken, I think 'the stare' is the thing that Fluttershy used on that poor dragon after he hurt us. I dread to think what it would do to a pony... You said you saw Tybalt in bed with Fluttershy?”

“Y-yes, why?”

“Was he... moving at all?”

“Not that I saw, why?”

“Uhh, see ya girls. Imma go now.” With that Spike left.

“Don't you think it's weird? First you see Tybalt walking Fluttershy home, then he doesn't come back. Next, the Princess feels a stare, and you find Tybalt in Fluttershy's bed not moving? Don't you think that's suspicious? Especially how Fluttershy hid inside her cottage when we asked her about it.”

“By Celestia, I think you're right! I can’t believe myself now. Come on Rarity, we have to make sure he is alright!”

“Right behind you darling!”

With that the two friends quickly raced back to the library, to find Spike by himself.

Twilight came in to ask Spike a few questions because they couldn’t find Tybalt anywhere.

“Spike, do you know where Tybalt is?”

“No, why? After you charged out he flew off into some clouds. That’s all I know though. Why, is he in trouble? I gotta see this then.”

“No, you don’t. Also no, he isn’t. Thanks Spike!”

--------------------Tybalt’s POV, walking the streets of Ponyville. --------------------------

She thinks I’m cheating on her? What happened after Shy gave me that stare? More importantly, why was I hardly affected? I know it was bad at first, with the fetal position and everything; but now I’m fine. What’s going on? Oh look, there’s what Twi told me were the Cutie Mark Crusaders. I believe the unicorn is Sweetie Belle, the Pegasus is Scootaloo, and the earth pony is Apple Bloom. I have to admit, they were CUTE! Scootaloo came up to me, anxious to finally meet me. I think Twi told her how energetic I was.

“Hello! Are you Tybalt? Twilight told me ALL about you? Are you as energetic as she says you are? I can’t wait to play with you!” Wow, she really is energetic.

“Calm down little one. One question at a time please.”

“Little one? Come on! I can almost fly, see?” She flapped her tiny wings making a tiny buzzing sound.

“Yes, I am Tybalt. Why are you so excited to meet me, I’m no one special.”

“Are you kidding? You’re like, the second coolest pony I know! Come on, we’re the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Will you help us get our Cutie Marks?”

“Sure why not?”

“Yay!” All three girls yelled in unison.

After a few hours of ‘crusading’ two new fillies came up to the CMC.

“Hey Scootaloo? Are there 5 or 3 fillies in your group? Because 2 more are coming up this way.”

“Eew, that’s just Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They hate us because we’re just ‘blank flanks’.”

Silver Spoon was the grey one. She had a grey/white mane and what else? A spoon as a cutie mark. Diamond Tiara looked like the leader. She was Pink coated with a purple/white mane and a (What else?) Diamond Tiara as a cutie mark. Their cutie marks are the exact same as their name. I don’t believe that’s something to brag about.

“Oh, hey loser mark crusaders!” Wow, that insult sucked. It sucked a lot of ass. Try harder next time kid.

“Just leave us alone Diamond Tiara. We’re not in the mood to deal with you.” Scootaloo seemed to take up for her friends.

“Why? Still trying to get your Cutie Marks? Who is that stallion there? Your new father? I swear, your ‘mother’ switches stallions faster than she takes a ba-“

“You take that back!” Scootaloo was getting loud now. What was that about?

“Take what back? You know it’s the truth blank flank.” Ok, this filly made Scootaloo nearly cry, and I can’t believe how stuck up she is.

“Excuse me Diamond?” I had to speak up now. It was just too much.

“And who are you? Scootaloo’s… let’s see… 15th father? Or did her mom switch again?”

Apple Bloom decided to speak up now.

“Now you leave him alone! Ya don’t even know who he is! He’s got 10 times more cutie mark in his left hoof than both of ya do together!”

“Please Apple Bloom. Let me handle this.”

“Who are you to talk? You’re just a nopony.”

“Take that back. Tybalt IS somepony.” Scootaloo had stopped crying by now. I hardly knew her, and she was taking up for me? Apple Bloom did too, why though?

“Shut up you orphan.” With that she bucked Scootaloo right in the face! That… was just too much. I didn’t even know these girls yet, but I nearly bucked Diamond right in her stuck up face.

“Now what in the HELL did you do that for?” I can’t believe these girls.

“Because their just blank flanks.”

“We’ll see who is a blank flank after this is over.”

“You wouldn’t dare touch me.” With that she spat on my face. I can’t believe how close I came to bucking her.

This fucking girl kept testing my patience.

“Maybe not. But I can’t guarantee your parents won’t.”

“What do you mean by tha- NO! Pleasepleasepleaseplease don’t!”

“Get out of here right now and I may think about it.”

With that the two fillies ran as fast as they could out. Probably going to grow up to be whores.

“Th-thank you Tybalt. They are always mean to us.” Scootaloo decided to speak. I was just worried about the buck that Diamond had given her.

“Are you alright Scootaloo? You’re bleeding from that buck she gave you. Just give me the word, and I’ll get to them fast and be out before anyone sees that it was me.”

“No, it’s alright Tybalt…” She seemed sad now. I swear to god someone is going to pay if Diamond permanently hurt Scootaloo.

“We should get you home Scootaloo, you seem really hurt.”

“I’m alright Tybalt, I told you.”

“I’m not going to take no for an answer. I’m not going to take you home; I’m going to take you to a hospital.”

“I SAID THA-“ She was cut off by me sweeping her onto my back. I didn’t know where the hospital was but I knew that I would know when I see it. What do you know, it WAS pretty obvious.

I walked in much to the surprise of the nurse ponies. One of them came up to me quickly because Scootaloo had passed out on my back.

“Hello, my name is Nurse Redheart. We should get that filly into a room. Follow me please.”

With that she led us into an empty room, and I layed Scootaloo on the bed. It nearly broke my heart to see such a cute little filly in a hospital bed. Someone will pay.

“Tybalt? Is that you?” It was Twi! She had come into the room, and was trying to get my attention. I was too focused on Scootaloo to listen though. To snap me out of it, she struck her hoof across my face.

“What the hell was that for? First you leave me, and then you hit me for no reason! What did I do this time Twilight?” She visually flinched at ‘Twilight’.

“Just come here! I’m so sorry!”

“What do you mean you’re sorry? I thought everything was my fault for what I didn’t do.” I had a right to be an ass right now because she didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself this morning.

“I talked to Fluttershy, and she admitted it all! I’m so sorry I ever doubted you! How did you get out of the stare though? You seem unaffected.”

“Oh, I’m affected. I’m going home now, whether it is your library or a random cloud in the sky. See you tomorrow Twilight.”

With that I left, but not before I got stopped by Redheart.

“Excuse me, but how did she get this way?”

“Diamond Tiara gave her a buck straight to the face.” With that I walked out, leaving a gawking Redheart behind me.

With that I left towards the library, only to find a waiting Spike on the couch.

“I heard what happened. Smooth. Cheat on Twi again and I will have your head. You’re lucky she is so forgiving.”

“Did she even tell you the truth of what happened? Because that crap you just spilled out wasn’t even close.” He jumped back at the language too.

“Twi told me that you cheated on her with Fluttershy. Don’t try it again.”

“How about you ask her what REALLY happened when she comes home? I’m going to bed- in the guest room.” I left a wondering dragon at the door when I climbed into bed. I don’t really care how hungry I was right now; I just wanted this day to be over. It may have taken a couple of minutes, but I finally drifted off to sleep.
