The Talk

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

The next day was simple. All George had to do was lay in bed and begin healing, Syringe wanted to heal him but George declined because it was like a vacation to him. When he was reading a book a visiter came to check up on him. Fluttershy with a basket in mouth. He puts down his book which was daring doo and greet her. "Fluttershy whats up?" She trots in with a smile. She puts down the basket next to them. "Oh I thought maybe I could bring you some food. Rainbow tells me the hospital food is not that great." She starts to pull fruits and cakes out of the basket. The moment was quiet, really quiet the clock ticking was the only noise in the room. He picks up the cake, it was a strawberry short cake he never tried one. As he was about to take a bit he sees royal armor walking past the door with a large blue alicorn beside them.

"Is something wrong?" Fluttershy also looking outside the door.

"Maybe...maybe I should see whats up with the other guests." George getting up from the bed, it was hard but he could do it. Fluttershy was worried that he was pushing himself a little to much. She step back a little to let him step by.

"Your still hurt...maybe you lay back down or sit on a wheel chair...your to injuried to walk." She says with worry in her voice. George only smiled as he got up completely.

"Glad someone is looking out for me don't worry Fluttershy as long as I got my cake I'm fine." He grabs his cake. Fluttershy and George walks out the door. As they walk down they both walk to see two guards by a door. He approachs to find himself being stared down by the guards.

"Halt!" Says guard one

"None shall enter!" Says guard two

"I see Luna is hel-" George speaks up only to be interruped by Guard one. "Thats Princess to you." George didn't want to continue any farther.

"You do understand what you did do you?" Luna says coldly staring at the injured mare.

"Yes I do Princess and I regret nothing." Sax smiles back.

"Fine then I sentence you to-" She stops from the door opening. "WHO DISTUR-"

"Hey Luna you might want to pay those guards of yours a little more than normal now because they a knock the fuck out." George smiles walking and Fluttershy walking past knock out gaurds. Luna facehoofed seeing that George did that to her guards. "Why are you here your not suppose up from that injury." George stopped and turned his back to see the long cut from his shoulder to his hips. "Its not that bad." Fluttershy mouth dropped. "So...whats happening here?" George continued but Luna looks past him and George turns to see a even bigger alicorn looking down at him, he looks up to comment one word. "Whoa"

"So your the new reaper I'm always hearing about." She smiles walking past with Syringe behind her.

"Really I didn't know I was that famous." He puts on a big grin.

"Oh yes from the destruction of the guards training grounds at the castle and a little bit of Ponyville I say you are very much known." She laughs as George's smile falls slowly into shame.

"Dude why are you up...you know your badly hurt." Syringe sits down by the window.

"Its not that bad." George waves him off. "Not that bad?" Syringe repeats but George ignores. "Plus I wanna make sure everything was fine in here."

"Everything is fine." Luna says flatly

"Is it?" George takes a bite of cake.

"George is it? I sure you Ms. Sax will be fine." Celestia assures him.

"I never got your name Princess."

"Of course I forgot to introduce myself my name is Princess Celestia." She bows a little. George does the same but whispers next to her. "You know your a lot more calm than Luna she almost killed me when she saw me." Celestia laughs and Luna cocks hear brow.

"Anyway I was about to have a chat with Sax here." George says waiting no one moves. "Alone." No one moves. "Please leave." Luna steps forward to get his attention. "She is very dangerous George and done very serious crimes."

"Oh come on how bad can they be?" George waves a hand. Luna and Celestia looks at each other.

"How about stealing the crown?" Luna speaks

"Maybe it was dirty and she wanted to wash it and she lost it." George heard a Facehoof in the back.

"Three times." *all facehoof*

"And?"

"She also robbed thousands of jules."

"See not that bad." Luna was about to pounce on him from where she was at but Celestia spoke up. "Sister I think he wants a say in her sentence." Luna looks from Celestia to George then to Celestia agian.

"Fine but we are right outside if anything goes wrong." They all began to walk out leaving George and Sax in the room alone. He walks over and sits on a chair ready for the talk. Seconds felt minutes and minutes felt like hours, he finally broke the silence.

"Luna kinda mean isn't she?"George smile at her.

"Yes it seems so." She says staring at the wall.

"So...tell me why did you work for this Nictis guy anyway?"

"Why should I tell you?" She glares at him.

"Maybe because You really don't have any odds of escaping right now sooo yeah I gotta say a looong time behind bars." Sax rolls her eyes. "Fine."

"I was about three when they found me says that I was left behind by someone. Whatever I was in a good family for awhile until one day I really wanted a doll from a little girl that was bulling me because I didn't have one. Little bitch. So one day I used my magic to change into her best friend and asked to play with it for awhile then right as she turned her back...I ran." She took awhile to think before contuing.

"Next day I walked around with it making fun of her about it. Next thing I know it I got my cutie mark. After that the stealing never stopped I walked in as any mare or stallion and take what I want. At age fifteen I was discovered by that same brat. They all came for me in a riot and I ran for the woods knowing that my parents would be in some deep shit if I go back. Cold and alone I traveled the everfree to find a camp by a guy named Nictis says as long as I do what he says we can take on exsistance. I agreed and was introducted to changlings that was kicked from their hive by some queen. Anyway we spent the last three years togther and I made them my family really until..."

"I killed them." George finishs for her.

"Yeah...there I told you what I know so what now...send me away?" She looks at George as he gets up.

"I was thinking something else than just sending you behind bars maybe community service picking up trash or something like that...you know I really am sorry about those guys." He walks to the door as he opens it he hears Sax whispers "So am I."

"You said community service?" Sax says angrily as her and George walks down the street of ponyville.

"Yes I did and it is...as my partner." He says smiling but Sax sighed. "Plus what was your old name anyway? That name Sax sounds like sex...like weird."

"My real named is Misty Wind." She says flatly.

"AWWW thats a nice name." He laughs but recives a kick to the thigh and yells out charlie horse. Misty smile at the results. They arrive at the Sugar cube corner the place Misty left with a hole in it. As they walk in the get a happy pink pony bouncing in front of them but George just gentle put his hand on her face and moves her out of the way. They take a seat to eat some cakes even though a reminder from Syringe flows throughout his mind. "Your getting fat I'd say a diet is in order...cut back on the cakes *takes strawberry short cake away* eat a banana." George smiles at the all sugar diet he is doing. The place wasn't very packed and only him, Pinkie, Misty, and some ponies with musical instraments practicingin the back. He hears one say "LETS KICK IT OCTY!"

The music was awesome as it went throughout the bakery. He felt a need that every person needs to do. So he got up and went to the bathroom leaving Misty alone in the main room to wait. She sat and enjoyed the music until...

"So ya still not behind bars are ya?" A very angery mare slames her hoof on the table not scaring Misty at all.

"It appears so cowgirl." She smiles at her.

"If the Princess can't handle ya then looks like I'll have ta do it." She stares at Misty coldly.

"How when I beat you silly."

"You caught me off guard!"

"You charged me first." Misty cocks a brow.

"And I wouldn't try fighting in here ladies." George walks back to the table, Applejack turns to face George. "Don't worry Applejack she is with me."

"How do you know my name?" She asks puzzled

"Well after the little event I figured you are Applejack am I correct?" She nods "Good names George... now how about we not get into a big fight around this nice place they just fixed it."

"Ah'm sorry pal but she needs a lickin." She steps from behind the table and walks over to Misty but is stopped by George.

"She already got one...from me look we can't focus on the past we have bigger scum bags to stomp on."

"Fine but don't you think this is over missy." Applejack walks away out the door.

"What was she here for anyway?" Misty shrugs

"Anyway we have to get back to the castle thats where we are staying." George sits down and orders cupcakes.

"Alright...but I'm not sleeping in a seperate room."

"Why?"

"I don't trust anyone."

"Even me."

"I trust you because of the sentence thing."

"Cool then I'm in the clear."

"But"

"But?"

"I will not sleep with guards hangging around my door,"

"Alright alright I'll think of something...

"Don't hurt yourself."

"Wait...maybe one of my friends will take you in." He grabs his cupcake and Misty by the wrist and runs to the best place he can think of.

"W-WHAT?"

"Please Flutters can you do this for me?"

"I-I don't think I can!"

"See lets just go." Misty began walking away.

"Please Flutters she is just trying to adjust to pony kind again...I'll do anything anything." Fluttershy looks at him for a sec. George pulls the sad puppy face. She sighs before giving in. "O-ok"

"YEAH!"

"But?"

"You have to keep watch of her everyday she is staying here." George pulls her in a thank you hug before calling Misty back over.

"Trust me Flutters you won't even notice her." Misty walks up to Fluttershy and nods then jumps high up into a tree. George facepalms "I guess shes sleeping there...well I gotta go AND MISTY WILL BE ON HER BEST BEHAVIOR!" He yells. Misty wave a hoof from the tree. "Thanks again Fluttershy." He hugs her again even longer this time she does the same back. "As long as you watch her here." she replies back. "Get a room you two." came from the tree they stop hugging then George left heading back to the castle.

"God I'm going to prank her soooo hard." George mutters to himself.
