Laughter

Guan sat silently near a campfire he had setup near his ship. The fire crackled in the cool night air. Guan looked around himself. Multiple guards stood around the borders of his crash site. He looked up. Winged equine guards watched over the brush of the forest for any signs of incoming danger. Though Guan really didn't need the 'protection' of lesser beings, it did make him feel more secure about his ships safety. He heard a guards voice. he was talking to a female equine.

" You are free to enter." said the guard.

Guan groaned. It was more than likely one of the princesses coming to annoy him. He looked to his side expecting to see an ' Alicorn', but was surprised to see a small bouncing ' Earth pony' hopping her way towards him. This made Guan confused, as the guards had told him no one that was not given a pass by the princesses were aloud to enter. This pony seemed a little odd to be given a pass into his crash site. She stopped when she was but a foot away from Guan, a huge smile plastered on her face. This greatly unnerved him.

" Hi, my names Pinkie Pie!" she squealed.

Guan inspected the tiny horse. She indeed was very pink though he didn't understand where the pie came from. She still that stupid smile plastered on her face. Never before had Guan seen such a unsettling smile.

" Hey, why are you looking at me like that? OH, do you wanna have a staring competition!? 3 2 1 GO!" she challenged with pure happiness in her voice.

Pinkie lunged her face into Guan's, her eyes bulging from there sockets. This did not make him flinch in the slightest, he merely looked at here though the visors of his helmet. Her eyes began to water and were turning red. Guan wanted to see how long it would take for her to figure that what she was looking at was not his real face. Eventually she gave up, rubbing the pain from her eyes.

" Wow, your good Mr. Alien! Nopony has ever beat me in a stare off, Well mabey except Fluttershy. She has this awesome, super cool stare thing that could stop a Ursa Major in its tracks and......" She said before she was cut off by two powerful fingers pinching her lips closed.

" Why are you here?" Guan asked, annoyed by this, well..... annoyance.

Guan released her lips, allowing her to speak.

" O, silly me. Twilight sent me. She wants me to teach you a lesson in friendship!" Pinkie said.

Guan stared at her for a few seconds, his patience lessening by listening to this ponies voice. He then looked back to the fire in front of him.

" Go away." Guan said. He was in no mood for this creatures stupidity.

" Yah Twilight told me you were a pretty grumpy guy, but I'm sure I can get a laugh from you." she challenged.

Guan just looked at the fire quietly. He grabbed a nearby stick and poked the fire, causing some smoke to go in Pinkie's face. The little pony coughed but still had a smile on her face.

" Do you want to hear a joke?" she asked.

" No, go away." Guan said again.

He stood up and walked away from the fire, heading towards the brush of the forest. Pinkie followed him into the brush.

" Are you sure? Its really good." Pinkie reoffered.

Guan groaned. He would kill this equine if he were not bound to his honour code. He stopped walking, causing pinkie to bump into his back. He turned and looked down at the pink equine.

" If I listen to your joke, you will leave me alone?" he asked impatiently.

" Um, I guess. As long as you give me a big old laugh then ill be on my way back to Ponyville." she stated. " Everypony needs a good laugh!"

Guan growled " Then tell me your joke and be gone."

Pinkie cleared her throat " What do you call a..... ummm.... huh."

Guan raised an eyebrow under his helmet.

" Ummmmmmm...." she continued.

Guan's left eye began to twitch at this equines ability to annoy him.

" Wow, this has NEVER happens to me. I CANT REMEBER MY JOKE!" she yelled worryingly.

The yautja placed his palm over the face of the helmet. He just turned back around and continued walking into the brush until he was no longer in Pinkies view.

" Ok, WELL I GUESS ILL FIND YOU WHEN I REMEBER. YOU STILL OWE ME A LAUGH MISTER!" Pinkie yelled out into the blackness of the forest.

One hour later..

Guan had been hunting a deer for quite sometime now. He could have killed it at any moment, but that would no fun. He loved to play with his kill before he struck. It also gave him some time to forget about that nuisance of a pony 'Pinkie Pie'. Being that annoying should be a crime on this planet. Guan looked down to see the deer had laid down to take a rest. The predator had not eaten in quite some time, and this deer would make an excellent meal. He waited for it to fall asleep. When it did, Guan leaped from the tree branch he was perched on to the grassy meadow where his prey slumbered. Though Guan weighed over four-hundred pounds, he landed as light as a feather. He moved silently towards the deer, growling like a primal animal. Guan was now standing over his prey. He extended his wristblades and prepared his strike.

" I REMEMBER THE JOKE!!!" screeched Pinkie Pie as she randomly burst though the forest brush.

This outburst startled Guan, causing his attention on the deer to change to the Pony. The deer bounced up from its slumber and ran as fast as it could into the thick forest. Before Guan could even think to grab his prey, it was gone. He stared at the darkness of the forest for a few moments. Pinkie hopped beside him.

" Awww, I must have scared that poor deer to death. SORRY!" she screamed into the blackness.

Guan slowly looked down upon Pinkie. If there was one thing in the entire universe he hated, it was when a hunt was interrupted.

He...Really hated it.

Guan let out a primal growl and angrily turned around, stomping his way back to his camp. Pinkie Pie cocked her head sideways in confusion. Had she done something to anger him? Pinkie bounced after the alien, dodging stray flying twigs caused by the goliaths path of destruction.

" Um, are you mad?" Pinkie Pie ask with concern " I didn't mean to make you mad. I was just so happy that I finally remembered my joke that I HAD to find you!"

Guan said nothing as he continued his march though the brush. He wanted that deer, and she ruined the chance of him claiming it. This infuriated Guan. Just hearing the pink equines voice was close to setting him off. Guan calmed as the reached his camp. Pinkie Pie was still trying to speak to him, but he had all but drowned out her voice. The yautja stomped out what was left of the small fire that he lit earlier. When it was extinguished, he made his way towards his ships metal door. Just as he was about to enter and leave the pony to talk to no one but herself, she said something that pushed Guan's last button.

" Well do you still want to hear my joke?"

Guan turned slowly to face Pinkie Pie. His fists were clenched and his teeth grinding together ( though Pinkie could not see this).

" Yes. There is nothing more I want to hear right now in this entire galaxy. Come now, tell me your joke." he said.

Pinkie smiled " OH GOODY!"

She cleared her throat " What do you call a bear with no teeth?"

Guan's left eye twitched " I don't know equine. What do you call such a bear?"

" A GUMMY BEAR!" Pinkie screamed before bursting into a fit of laughter.

The predator merely watched and waited for her laughter to die. When it did Pinkie wiped a single tear from her eye and looked up at Guan. She still had her trademark smile plastered on her face, waiting for some sort of reaction from the alien. But none came. Guan crouched down to meet her eye to eye.

" You like jokes pony?" he asked.

Pinkie nodded innocently.

" Ok, then I have quite the joke for you." Guan said menacingly " What is both pink and red?"

Pinkie scratched her chin. She had never head a joke like this before.

" Hmmm, I don't know Mr. Alien, what do you call something like that?"

Guan leaned in, looming over Pinkie Pie.

" Its your blood soaked corpse."

Pinkies ears dropped. Her once happy face was now one of pure shock and terror. She slowly backed away from Guan but the predator stood up and moved with her.

" Its your blood soaked corpse, after I have beaten you to the point of no recognition. I would not yet kill you though, NO that would be far to easy. I would rip out your tongue so that you would no longer plague my hearing. I would tear your lips off so you could never again have that disgusting smile upon your face. Then, and only then, after your last pitiful hope was extinguished, would I end your life. That is my joke equine." Guan finished.

Pinkie Pies bottom lip began to quiver. Never in her life had she met someone so cruel.

" That's not funny..." she sobbed " That's not funny at all..."

Pinkie turned from the hunter and bolted towards the forest, tears steaming across her face. She pushed though the concerned guards and before any guard could stop her, she was gone in the forests blackness. The guards angrily glared at Guan. The predator merely chuckled to himself before turning back to face his ship.

" You have some nerve" said a familiar voice behind him.

Guan turned to face the voice. It was the female bat-like guard that had attacked him on his first day on the planet. She stepped had into Gaun's camp, leaving the other guard amazed by her bravery ( or stupidity).

" All that mare wanted to do was to make you laugh, and you go and do something so vile like that. What the fuck is wrong with you?!" she demanded.

Guan stared at her. She was standing near his once lit campfire. He walked towards he and sat down gently. He looked down at the charred wood.

" Let me set something trait with you that not many of your kind can seem to grasp." he turned his head to face her " I'm. Not. Like. You. Mine is a kind of strength and honor that your kind could only dream to imagine."

Shadowed Lightning frowned " You know we aren't as weak as you like to think, asshole"

She sat down on the stump right next to Guan. He had to admit, that was quite bold of the equine. Guan chuckled to himself.

" How's your back doing equine?" he asked mockingly.

" Hahah..." Shadowed laughed sarcastically " To be honest its been better, dick"

The bat pony cracked her back, wincing with slight pain.

" But ill live"

Guan was surprised. This equine was proving to be... not so much of a nuisance as the others.

" Your being rather kind to be. Have you forgotten what just transpired?"

Shadowed lightning looked back to her fellow guards. They we talking among one another, paying no mind to her conversation with Guan. She looked up to face Guan.

" Yeahhh, no, that was an act"

Guan raised an eyebrow.

" Between you and me, that pink spaz annoys the shit out of me" she said with a chuckle.

Guan was beginning to grow fond of this pony.

" When you told her off like that, I almost lost it man. It was great "

" Yes, it did feel rather great didn't it?" Guan stated.

" Hahaha, the look on her face.... when you... HAHHAA" she laughed.

Guan began to chuckle. This conversation reminded him of times when after a hunt, he and his fellow hunters would laugh about the look on their preys face before they met there end.

Guan and Lightning talked for an hour, sharing stories of battle. It had been far to long since Guan had had a mature conversation.
After a few more minutes passed, some guards called for Lightning, saying that her shift was up.

" Well big guy, guess this is where I leave. Been... an interesting night." she said.

As she got up to leave, her back began to ache again. Guan noticed this and removed something from his belt pouch.

" Here" he said, offering a small silver pill.

Lightning took it with a confused face " Whats that?"

" It will help with the pain" Guan said.

The Lunar captain smiled " Thanks Guan"

The predator just nodded.

Shadowed popped the pill into her mouth and walked back towards her guard.

" gkaun-yte equine guard" Guan called out.

The pony turned to face him " Whats that mean?"

" Until we meet again" Guan told her.

With that, she nodded and left his camp. Guan stood and walked back to his ship. He hated to admit it but he had slightly enjoyed that conversation. Maybe not all of these ponies were as weak as he thought.

Maybe.
