FIMStuck
Meeting Royalty, and the Truth about Eridan?!
Previous Chapter“What the heck happened here?!” The Sagittarius pony asked in shock.
“Your friends were arguing, we didn’t want them to start fighting each other, so I tried to get them to stop, but they didn’t listen, so we had to use force.” Twilight said sheepishly.
“I wasn’t apart of this!” Karkat shouted.
Sollux used his psyonic to untie the rope, “Yeah they really are 2eriou2 when it come2 to us getting along and watching our language...” his sarcasm showing in his voice.
The Sagittarius pony looked at the Leo, “See Nepeta, this is what happens when you stoop to a low blood’s level...”
“And ju2t what2 wrong with low blood2?!” Sollux lunged at the Sagittarius but was stopped by AppleJack, who grabbed his tail in her mouth.
“Whoa there nelly!”
“Pawllux calm down! Please don’t try to hurt Equius!” Nepeta asked in a sweet tone as she hugged the Sagittarius.
FlutterShy got in front of the Gemini.
“He may have a bad attitude but he is a lot like Angel Bunny.” she thought, “Maybe the same thing I do to Angel will work on him...”
“Get out of my way,” Sollux growled furiously, “Or el2e I’ll make you!”
FlutterShy nervously began to pet the angry troll on the head, between his four horns and his ears.
“Hey! What are you-...?”
She began to rub his head a little rougher, she noticed that he had an almost unnoticeable smirk, he began to purr like a cat as he began to calm down.
“There, there. I’m sure he didn’t mean to anger you. Try to calm down now.” She whispered to him.
Sollux looked up at her, his eyes locked with hers. He sighed ,causing AJ to let go of him, “Thank2, I kinda lost my cool there....”
“KINDA?!” Karkat shouted, “You tried to kill Equius!”
“Oh 2hut up KK,” Sollux responded, “you’ve done wor2e…”
“...Point taken...But still this is strictly convoluted! You just tried to kill him and you threatened FlutterShy! And you say that you kind of lost your cool. You fucking lost your sh-” Karkat was interrupted because he got hit on the head by Rainbow Dash, “ow...sorry..”
“You better be!” the spectrum pony sneered.
Twilight ignored them and began to count all the trolls in the room, “Karkat, Sollux, Eridan, Gamzee, Tavros, Kanaya, Vriska, Feferi, Equius, and Nepeta. That makes, one two...”
Pinkie Pie popped beside Twilight, “...nine, ten! We’re still missing two!”
“Uh... could someone untie us?” Tavros called out.
“I don’t know Tav, I kinda like being so mother-fuckin close to you.” Gamzee gave him a perverted smile.
Tavros’s eyes widened and he blushed furiously, but luckily for him, Twilight used her magic to untie them, Eridan, and Vriska.
“Oh thank god! That was making my back ache!” Vriska whined.
“Thank you.” Eridan said stretching his arms.
“You’re welcome.” Twilight smiled, “Karkat!”
“Yeah, Sparkle?” he responded.
“Where are the other two trolls?”
“Aradia and Terezi? They are probably talking in one of their respitblocks. They’ve been doing that a lot since....uh...” Karkat began to get nervous.
“Since his Matespritship wwas ended betwween him and Terezi” Eridan sighed.
“What is a matespritship and you all haven’t answered my question about what a lusus is.” Twilight said bluntly.
“A Lusus is a monster or creature that takes care of you until you can take care of yourself, wwhen that time comes, you havve to take care of them.” Eridan said, “A Matespriteship is the exact equivalent to love.”
“Oh! You poor dear! How did it end?!” Rarity asked as she walked over to Karkat and put a hoof on his shoulder.
“I’d...rather not talk about it.....” Karkat mumbled.
“Yeah! Its better left untold. It wwas a gruesome break up.” Eridan said looking at Rarity.
Rarity sighed and turned to Karkat, “Well Karkat, if you ever need somepony to talk to about it, you can talk to me.”
Karkat ignored her. Obviously he has been through a lot. Rainbow Dash noticed that Equius was staring at her.
“What are you looking at?” she asked him with a glare.
“What is your blood color?” he asked bluntly.
“Red. Everypony’s blood color is red.” Rainbow said confused by the question.
“What?!” Karkat and Equius said in sync.
“What shade?”
“Even the...royals?”
“Are you positive?”
“YES! I’m sure. And yes even royalty! And it varies in shade, if you give somepony a fatal wound the blood will look almost black, but if its not a fatal wound and its just a small cut it will be between a rust and a candy red!” Rainbow shouted in annoyance, the two colts looked at her with wide eyes.
“I-...never thought it was possible...a world...where peasant-bloods...are respected and are rulers...” Equius said, surprised by the answer.
“This. Is. Gonna. Be. Good!” Karkat said, evilly glairing at Equius who was traumatized by the answer.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Luna looked at Celestia, “Sister, they have been gone a long time. Should I go check on them?”
“No. The trolls have been through a lot. They are still trying to adjust. Twilight should be almost done, any minuet now they should be coming out.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Aries platform went off, on it was a unicorn and an earth pony. The unicorn‘s coat was a grayish-red like Karkat‘s, her black mane and tail were neater than Feferi‘s, but were questionably long almost like FlutterShy’s. Her horns looked like ram horns. Her cutie-mark was a dark red gear and in the middle of the gear was a rust red Aries symbol.
The earth pony‘s coat was a grey-teal, her black mane and tail were neatly kept. Her horns were similar to Nepeta’s but instead they were thinner and pointier. She wore red sunglasses. Her cutie-mark was the Libra symbol.
“There they are!” Karkat said looking at the two, “What was taking you so long?”
“Sorry about that, we got in a big conversation.” the Aries smiled.
“Riiiiiiiiight and Sparkle here ISN’T a purple, magic, hoof beast....” Karkat said sarcastically.
“Whatever!” the Libra said looking away from the Cancer.
Karkat looked away from the Libra, obviously the earth-pony was Terezi, and the unicorn was Aradia. Twilight looked at Karkat and back at the two mares, she sighed, “Well, since everypony is here, lets all go meet the princesses!”.
She and the other elements, led all of the trolls out of the meteor and out of the crater. When they reached the top, they were automatically greeted by Princesses Celestia and Luna.
“Princesses! I’m sorry if we took too long!” Twilight said worriedly.
“Its okay. I’m sure they gave the six of you a lot of trouble, but I have complete faith in all of you!” Celestia smiled.
“As do I.” Luna said in a gentle tone, similar to her sister’s.
“So you’re the ‘Princesses’ that Sparkle has been blabbering about? You all don’t really seem like the ruling type...” Karkat said in such a daring tone it made the main six glare at him in both surprise and anger.
“How dare thee! Doth thou really want to temp mine rage to throw thee into the land dragons?!” Luna screamed, using the Royal Cantorlot Voice, causing all the trolls to shake in fear.
“Luna! What have I said about using the Royal Cantorlot Voice?!”
“But...”
Celestia glared at her little sister, and sighed, “Karkat Vantas!”
“H-How do you know my name ?”
“I have been watching you, your team, and your species for almost a thousand years! When I saw that you all have been stuck on that meteor, I felt pity for all of you. Luna and I decided to give you all a chance to start a new life. But first, you all need to learn of our history, our culture, your new life styles, and lastly...the Magic of Friendship!” Celestia said with her eyes fixed on the trolls.
“Magic?!” Eridan exclaimed.
“Yes, magic. You all will stay with my student and her friends! You will all learn from the bearers of the elements of harmony, Pinkamena ‘Pinkie’ Diane Pie: the element of Laughter, FlutterShy: the element of Kindness, Rarity: the element of Generosity, AppleJack: the element of Honesty, Rainbow Dash: the element of Loyalty, and Twilight Sparkle: the element of Magic! Through these ponies you all will learn about them, things that you didn’t know about yourselves and each other. And if any of you were to learn about friendship, you will report to me about your findings!”
“WHAT?!” Karkat and some of the trolls said, confused from how fast things were suddenly going.
“If any of you were to hurt or even kill somepony, you will be banished to ether the Bad Lands, the Tartarus, the Sun or even the Moon, if your lucky!” Luna said glaring at the Cancer and Scorpio, “If we don’t feel like banishing you, we will simply execute you on a stage in Cantorlot, for everypony to see. Do I make my self clear?”
“Y-Yes your highness!” Equius stuttered.
“Good.”
“It took us a thousand years to create peace here in Equestria, we are not going to lose it because of our choice to bring you here! If you all do anything ruin it, we wont hesitate to have the Elements of Harmony do away with you, if you are lucky they will turn you all into stone statues!” Celestia said in harsh tone, “Girls, I trust that you will all do your best to teach them everything you know.”
“We will make you proud!” Twilight smiled.
“You can count on us!” Rainbow said putting her arm around Karkat, causing him to look at her nervously.
“Great! I will be awaiting your reports! Shall we, Luna?”
“Yes, dear sister!”
The sisters began to flap their wings, Celestia looked back, smiled and said “Take care my dear student.” with that she and Luna left.
There was a dead silence between the ponies and the trolls, until Twilight finally broke it.
“I thought our mission of defeating King Sombra was hard, but this?!”
“Yer tell’in me! How’m Ah go’in to explain this to mah family?! The Apple Family reunion is in three days?! Three Days?!” AppleJack whined, “Not tah mention Apple-Buck season is very close!”
“How am I going to explain this to Sweetie Bell?!” Rarity questioned.
“I just remembered that in two hours, Mister and Misses Cake are going to Manehatten for five weeks for a Baking Convention and several contests! I’m going to have to take care of the Cake Twins and SugarCube Corner by myself! Not to mention this” Pinkie Pie’s usual upbeat nature has once again, for the second time, has disappeared because of her doubt due to the new overwhelming stress, her mane and tail deflated, “The stress is gonna kill me!!!!”
“My animals might not like the trolls! Oh my, what if they can’t hibernate properly, knowing the trolls are around?!” FlutterShy said hugging Angel Bunny tightly.
“Not to mention this is gonna be the whole ‘Zecora Incident’, all over again!” Rainbow Dash said in a worried tone.
“Where to begin? The Founding of Equestria or the Tale of the Two Regal Alicorn Sisters? The Founding of Ponyvill, maybe?...” Twilight pondered.
“WAIT A MINUET HERE!” Karkat yelled, “So your telling me were are supposed live with all of you and you guys are supposed to teach us about the so-called ’magic of friendship‘ and you didn’t even plan ahead?!”
“And ju2t what i2 2o great about tho2e 2o-called prince22e2?!” Sollux questioned.
“We weren’t thinking that you all would be so complicated! Not to mention through out all of the missions we have gotten, the fate of Equestria was in our hooves! Not an entire violent species that has hardly any respect!” Twilight snapped.
“And what do you mean by ‘what’s so great about the princesses‘? Princess Celestia raises the sun at dawn and Princess Luna raises the moon to begin the night! Didn’t you have somepony like that back on your world?” Dash asked, confused by the ridiculous question.
All the trolls fell over laughing.
“Whats so funny?!” Dash yelled over the loud laughter.
“Raise the sun and moon?! That’s ridiculous! Everyone knows that the sun’s gravitational pull is what make the planet spin and that is what makes night and day! Not two princesses!” Karkat laughed.
The elements looked at each other quietly, Twilight looked down and sighed, “Its okay girls, tonight they’ll see what Princess Luna can do.”
Her friends nodded and watch the trolls laugh to tears.
Rainbow Dash couldn’t believe that Twilight didn’t start an argument with them about the Princesses. She began to try think of a way to humiliate one of the trolls and get them to believe what the princesses can do. She then got an idea, a really great idea. Once all the laughter stopped, she blurted something out, “So, I guess you all wont believe me if I were to say that a pegasus pony can walk on clouds, hu”
“What2 a pega2u2?” Sollux questioned holding back his laughter.
“A pony with wings, duh!” Dash said with a smirk on her face.
“Well, no, I wouldn’t believe you.” Sollux smiled.
“Well how about this: If you fly over a cloud and land on it, if you fall though it I’ll personally catch you and you wont have to learn anything from me for a whole week! But if you land on it and don’t fall though it you have to say three words!”
“And ju2t what are the2e three word2?”
“Friendship is Magic!”
Karkat and Sollux looked at each other and back at Dash, “Deal.”
Sollux stretched his wings and flew up into the sky, he saw a nearby cloud, he flew over it and hovered above it, he slowly descended and landed on the cloud. It was solid and surprisingly, comfortable and soft.
“Alright! You win!” Sollux shouted, “2o, I’ll fucking 2ay it!...Friend2hip i2 Magic!”
Dash smiled at the result, “Get down from there, lets head to town now!”
Sollux did as he was told and flew down, off of the cloud. He sighed in humiliation, as he walked behind the spectrum pegasus. Soon several minuets passed, and without warning a pink earth pony with a blond mane, and a lily behind her ear screams in horror, “AHHHHHH!!! DEMON PONIES!!!!!”
“Told ya.” Rainbow sighed.
As they neared Ponyvill, the voices of the citizens could be heard, it then disappeared without a single trace when they got into town. No one was in site. The town looked like a ghost town. Twilight sighed to herself.
“Pinkie do you mind?” the violet unicorn mumbled, “Just don’t say that their from another world, just say that they’re from a faraway land out side Equestira.”
“Don’t worry Twi! I got this!” The pink party pony began to bounce on her fluffy, whimsical, dark pink tail screaming, “Hey everypony! Come and meet my new friends!! Their from a faraway land, outside Equestria!!! If you all don‘t I won’t throw another party for two years!!!!”
Once Pinkie stopped and returned to the group, some ponies started coming out their homes, including the one that caused the whole mishap. She slowly walked up to Twilight.
“A-...um...Are you sure their not from the Tartarus?...” the pink and blond pony asked, her golden eyes looking at Sollux.
“Yes I’m sure, Lily. Karkat, where are you from, again?” Twilight smiled.
“Alternia...” Karkat said, watching as all the ponies from Ponyvill whisper around him and his fellow trolls.
“See! There is nothing to worry about!” Twilight beamed.
“Hey! You know what this calls for?!” Pinkie smiled, “A PARTY!!! But its going to have to wait till tonight...”
All the ponies smiled and shouted “Yay”. Twilight and the Elements told the citizens that they will be able to get to know the trolls when the party starts, Pinkie Pie left them to get the Cake Twins from SugarCube Corner, early to avoid being late. Twilight was able to lead them to her library without losing the trolls.
When she opened the door, she automatically saw he number one assistant: Spike cleaning the library.
“Oh, hey Twi! I had this weird dream that Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came over and-”
“A BABY DRAGON!!!!” Terezi quickly hugged Spike and started squeezing him, “I’m gonna call you Mr. Lime Berry, and you will be my Mr. Lime Berry! Together we shall bring justice!”
“My name isn’t-...Mr. Lime Berry!!! Its: Spike!!!” the dragon screamed, “Twilight!!!! HELP!!!”
A magic aura cloud surrounded Twilight’s horn and her assistant, she lifted up her assistant, getting him out of the Libra’s grip.
“Aww...” Terezi frowned.
“Sorry, but if I didn’t you would have squeezed the life out of him...” Twilight smiled nervously as she put Spike down, “Well lets all get to know each other!”
“I’m guessing it wasn’t a dream after all...” Spike groaned.
Twilight had everyone come in the library and take a seat, Pinkie returned with the cake twins, who were sound asleep. Twilight and her friends told the trolls about they all met each other, along with the Nightmare Moon saga, Discord, The Cantorlot Wedding, even their battle against King Sombra in the Crystal Kingdom.
“Waaaaaaait a minuet!” Vriska said dramatically, “So you all are saying that Luna was Nightmare Moon, and that you all defeated her, Discord, a Queen of monsters that can turn into anyone they want, and a warlord?!”
“Yes, and I wouldn’t call Sombra a warlord...” Rarity said.
“Wow, but its nothing compared to the bullcr-...crud that we had to go through when we played Sgrub...” Karkat said, trying his best not to curse.
“Oh yeah, actually I’m 2urprized that Eridan ha2n’t flirted with anyone-”
Eridan slammed the door to the library as he walked out of it. Obviously he didn’t take kindly to the comment that Sollux made.
Eridan’s P.O.V. (sorta..)
“HOWW DARE HE!!! I’M HIGHER ON THE HEMOSPECTRUM THAN HE IS AND HAS THE NERVVE TO SAY THAT!!!!”
He walked way from the library, within minuets he was already in town square, and he no longer knew how to get back, but he didn’t care.
“I’m not desperate, I’m not a flirt ether! I wwas lonely...” he thought, remembering his time on the Land Of Wrath and Angels, “I nevver told them wwhy I killed those angles, or wwhy I was constantly naggin at them, but they’d nevver understand! None of them! I‘m a teenage super vvillain! I swwear if they keep on applyin’ those damn stereotypes to me, I wwill fuckin flip my shi- ”
“LOOK OUT!!!”
*BANG!!!*
He was on the ground, he felt some weight on his back-...WAIT! HIS BACK???!!!
He quickly shot up and got who or whatever was on his back, backed away and fixed his cape.
“Ow!!! Hey that wasn’t nice!!!”
He looked at the speaker, it was a little unicorn filly, her mane and tail was violet and pink, her fur coat was a milk white. Sitting next to her was a peach filly with a red mane and tail, she wore a pink bow. Far across from them was an orange pegasus filly, her purple mane and tail was styled similar to Rainbow Dash’s. On the floor was a scooter with a wagon connected to it.
“You should really wwatch wwere you’re goin!” Eridan growled.
“We’re mighty sorry mister-” the earth fill looked up at him, her eyes widened, “Ya’ll are one of them demon ponies ah heard about!!!”
“I’m not a demon! I’m far from it!” Eridan looked away from the filly, “To tell you the truth, angels aren’t any better ether...”
“What do mean by that?” the Pegasus asked.
“Trust me you don’t wwant to know!”
The unicorn looked at him curiously, “Why do you have that weird accent? Is native to your species?”
“No, actually I got it from my lusus.”
“What’s a lusus?” the earth pony asked.
Eridan face hoofed at the question.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
“Ah have a bad feel’in ‘bout this...” A.J. sighed.
“Same here...” Fefreri mumbled.
They were walking around town looking for Eridan. It had been several hours since he had left! He hasn’t even returned. The two mares soon came across AppleJack’s big brother, Big Macintosh.
“Hey, Big Mac, ya wouldn’t have happened to see one of the Alternians around, have ya?” AJ asked looking at her big brother.
He pondered for a moment, “Well A.J, ah think that one of them was with the Crusaders.”
Feferi and AppleJack looked at each other.
“Thanks, Ah’ll talk to you later!”, with that A.J quickly started to gallop to the CMC Clubhouse, Feferi was close behind her.
-----------------------------
When they got to the clubhouse they could hear Eridan talking to the fillies. They looked at each other and slowly neared the clubhouse and began to listen to the conversation.
“Then, Duel Scar swwung his swword at MindFang’s goons and knocked them off of his ship! He quickly got his trusted gun: the Ahab’s Crosshairs, and shot at the Spider Pirate, but she dodged the attack and retreated! He then yelled at her, ‘You wwill nevver get my treasure, MindFang!’, the pitiful female pirate didn’t respond, because she kneww that he wwas right.”
“Wow, mister Eridan! Your ancestor is the coolest!”
“Ah can’t believe that MindFang thought she stood a chance against him!”
“You’re telling me! How did you find out, about your ancestor, mister Eridan?”
There was a short pause in the room.
“WWell, it wwas wwhen I was about your age, I used to livve in the sea at the time, and my friend slash empress needed a place to stay because her lusus accidentally destroyed her home, her lusus and my lusus both refused to let the both of us stay in the same hivve, and she also wwanted me to help her feed her giant lusus. I didn’t knoww howw to handle such things. But then night, I saww somethin’ amazin’! It wwas a shootin’ star, headed somewhere. I fallowed its trail, and soon I came up to a small island, when I got to the surface, I saw a huge ship that was stuck on the piece of land! I couldn’t help it, I had to explore the dang thing! I found a chest full to the brim wwith gold and jewwelry, but wwhat amazed me the most was the fact that some of the gems on the jewwelry had the same symbol that I havve! Then I kneww, the ship belonged to my ancestor! I just had to continue! I then came across an X on the ground. I’m sure that you all havve heard of the sayin’ ‘X marks the spot’. Wwell I started diggin’ in that spot, until I came upon a chest, and in that chest I found his gun and journal! I movved into his ship and Feferi wwas able to livve in my old home! I read his journal, evvery page I read wwas like a new advventure! It wwas like the guy wwas there wwith me, tellin’ me his advventures, and that I could help Fef! Thanks to him I wwas able to help her, and be stronger..........but it all changed wwhen wwe played the game...”
“Ya mean that game that you and your friends played to save your world?”
“Yeah, wwhen wwe started playin’ that god forsaken game, everythin wwent to hell! Fef ended our morialigence and wwhat’s wworse, wwhen I went to my world, the Land Of WWrath and Angels.....”
“Mister Eridan, are you okay...”
“Uh,...Yeah, Swweetie Bell, I’m okay...... At the wworld, I....lost my lusus to the angels, right wwhen I first started to explore the damned wworld....”
Feferi’s eyes widened like saucers, AppleJack looked at her and mouthed out words.
“Are ya alright?”
“No.”
“Whats wrong surgarcube?”
“I remember, when Eridan first told me that he was going to explore his world, and how amazing it was. He sounded so happy. But after an hour, I checked on him, I couldn’t find his lusus, all I saw was him slaughtering the angels! Now...I know why he was hassling everybody! He felt lonely, and just wanted to talk to someone in person, just to vent to them...WHAT KIND OF MORIAL AM I?!”
Fuchsia tears began to stream down her cheeks, as they continued to listen in on the conversation.
“Wwhen I heard him callin’ me, I kneww some thin’ wwas wwrong! I ran as fast as I could to him,....but it wwas too late, the angels killed him.....They wwere eatin’ him. I grabbed my gun and began shootin’ them! I vvowwed to kill evvery angel on my wworld! Then the next thing I kneww, evveryone began ignorin’ me....Evvery time I tried to even talk to them, they wwould make up some sort of excuse just to avvoid me, even Feferi. I tried evverythin’! But all they just continued to ignore me. Then, they started to put a fu-....freakin’ stereotype on me! Their little stereotype is that I’m desperate! Yeah I was desperate, but not for romance,...I was desperate for someone to talk to....Wwell it just goes to show how wwell I knew my friends...but wwhat really sucks is the fact that I wwas even attacked by an angel and I nearly died, and there wwas no one there to help me....”
AJ and Feferi looked though the window and saw the three fillies gasp, as Eridan took off his cape and showed his back to them, on his back was six scars, three going down his back and the other three were going from his shoulder down under his ribcage, near his waist. He was crying, like Feferi.
“I was lucky to get that angel off of me....wwhen I killed it, I wwas forced to try to stop the bleedin’ my self. I wwas panickin‘, I called all of my friends...but once again they ignored me. So I continued to try to stop the bleedin‘, evventually I succeeded, but I wwas so light headed, that I could barely wwalk strait. I ended up faintin’, wwhen I woke up I called Karkat, and you knoww wwhat he said to me? He said, Eridan what the heck? You didn’t talk to anyone for a week and now you call me?! Go away! I found it so funny that they all didn’t evven care about me. Wwhen wwe failed the game, they still just didn’t talk to me, not evven Feferi... wwell noww that wwe’re here I’m not goin’ to pay any attention to them, as their karma!”
“Mister Eridan how is it that they didn’t notice that you were injured like that? Ahm guessin that you were still in pain when ya’ll failed the game.” Apple Bloom asked.
“Wwell actually I wwas still in a lot of pain after the game, but like I said they just ignored me. So one day I raged quitted, and stayed in my room for a long time. Evvery once in a wwhile I wwould wwalk around outside of my room, once I fainted near a set of stairs and no one helped me... it just goes to showw howw wwe trolls could just sometimes care less about each other. To tell you the truth, Gamzee once helped me, but that wwas wwhen I nearly fell into a giant hole in the middle of a hallway, he got me out of that precarious situation, and I am now indebt to him. But that is the only time he helped me.... but I am still grateful.” Eridan rambled.
“Wow, it sounds like your friends just don’t understand what friendship really is.” Scootaloo said with a huff.
“I knoww, but after wwe adjust to livin’ here, wwe wwill all be goin’ on our separate ways. So wwe wwont havve to be at each other’s throats anymore.”
He put his cape back on, it hid his scars perfectly. Feferi and A.J got away from the window, and mouthed a conversation.
“Be honest with me Feferi, why didn’t you help the poor boy out?!”
“I didn’t know that he was suffering so much!”
“But ya could have talked to him!”
“He is a lot to deal with! I just,...I just need some time to my self...”
“Yeah, but I thought that ya’ll were best friends at one point!”
“We were, but he was just...you wouldn’t understand! He was just....I don’t know anemone more!”
“How do ya not notice that he was in such pain?!”
“I did notice, but I thought he was acting!”
“Let me guess, ya were usin’ that stereotype to explain it!”
“It was just so fitting! After he saved me from the meteor, he asked me out! I declined him! So I believed the stereotype!”
“That is just plain cruel!”
“It just-...”
Feferi ran to the door and opened it.
“I’m sorry! I really am!” she shouted to her fellow sea dweller.
He looked at her and began to laugh, “It too late for apologies, Feferi!” his laughter the ceased, “And besides its not like its gonna change anythin’.”
“But-”
“BUT WHAT?!” he growled at her, “You nevver evven gavve me chance to explain myself! Did you evven think of askin’ me wwhy I wwas killin’ the angels, or pestering evveryone?!”
“No! Alright! Its just-”
“Just wwhat? Just that I freakin’ pathetic?! I‘m not the pathetic one! YOU ARE!” he stormed out of the clubhouse and walked away from them.
Feferi sat there and burst into tears, Sweetie Bell walked up to her.
“You know, if you never ask questions, you will never know much.” the filly said wisely, “Once I asked Scootaloo why she never brought somepony from her family for Family Appreciation Day at school. I then found out that she is an orphan.”
“W-...Why are you telling me this?....” Feferi whimpered.
“What she means is: if ya keep on playin’ guessin’ games, ya will never find out the truth.” AppleJack said sitting right next to the Pisces.
“...to think, I’m one of the kindest on my team, and I did something so horrible...” she mumbled, “How am I going to get his forgiveness if he wont accept my apology?”
“Ah’ll talk to him. And ya know, this would make a good letter to the Princess.” A.J smiled, “AppleBloom, take Feferi, to Twilight’s Library, Ahm gonna go get Eridan!”
“Okay!”
