The Fullmetal Human : The Making of Friendship
Chapter 16 - The Ticket Master [Part 3]
Previous ChapterNext ChapterTwilight was sitting down drinking her tea as she felt a eyes trained on her. Earlier she had sent Spike to go get the girls because they needed to have a talk about these gala tickets. After which she had arrived at Ed's apartment also known as "Home" about 10 minutes later and was welcomed in by a mare named Derpy who seemed to have an imaginary friend. A second later another mare came down known as Octavia who scolded Derpy for letting a stranger in. Twilight interrupted there conversation to tell them she was a friend of Edward's and that he told her to come here. Octavia asked what happened and so Twilight explained the situation to her and Derpy. After a brief and well said summary by Twilight herself the mares said it was okay for her to stay. They went up stairs and to one of the mares rooms as they now sat and drank tea.
She looked over to Octavia, to her surprise was the one staring at her with no expression on her face. Twilight had noticed this mare talked with no emotion or kind of tone earlier and thought she seemed kind of weird but this just made it weirder with the staring.
"Is something on my face?" Twilight asked trying to figure why this mare was staring at her.
"What is your relationship with Edward Elric" Octavia said in her usual tone.
"What?" Twilight said as she tried to understand the question.
Derpy cleared her throat and put her tea down to speak. "She said *ahem* What is your relationship-"
"No no I heard what she said but thank you for repeating it Derpy" Twilight said causing the cross eyed mare to grin happily and resume her tea.
"What do you mean?" Twilight asked Octavia as she put her tea down.
"How do you feel about him" Octavia said sounding a bit more forward for some reason.
"Well I uh.." Twilight mumbled trying to think of something.
Suddenly the window opened to room and all three mares looked to see who opened it. They all realized it was Ed as he hopped into the room.
"Hey girls" Ed said smiling as he gave a quick wave.
Edward Elric
M couldn't stop laughing as she kicked the air and spun around in circles doing somersaults. Ed was confused as to why the ghost was laughing but then looked over to the little table where the girls where sitting at and read the mood. Derpy was drinking her tea not giving a care in the world while Octavia stared at Twilight blankly as the unicorn blushed heavily.
"So what's everyone doing in my room" Ed asked trying to lighten the mood.
"This is your room!?" Twilight piped up as she looked at Ed with a heavier blush from before.
"Dear god why are you so shy around males Twilight" Ed said to himself as he felt a set of eyes suddenly stab him.
He looked and saw Octavia making her usual emotionless face staring at him but could feel a deadly rage behind those eyes of hers as she sat and drank her tea.
M just kept laughing making it harder for Ed to figure a way out of this. Twilight was having a shy moment, Octavia is stabbing him with her eyes, and Derpy is just being the saint of the world right now. The only thing that would make his day worse was if.
*Knock Knock Knock*
Ed looked at the door and saw it slowly opening revealing the other tenants of the apartment.
"Hey Edward whats hanging man" Vinyl said as she walked in followed by Cheerilee and Berry Punch.
"Hey Edward" The other two said, Berry just a little slurred.
"Hey girls" Ed said already knowing what was going to happen.
Twilight snapped out of her girl moment and looked at all the mares around her. She suddenly turned to Ed gave him the glare this time.
"How many mares are living here?" Twilight asked out loud which Cheerilee answered. "Just 5"
"How many bathrooms are in this apartment" Twilight asked. "2!" Derpy answered as if she knew it.
"Alright final question... Has Ed seen any of you... you know..." Twilight asked trying not to be embarrassed.
"Cheerilee once, Berry Punch once, and me is two... unless you count last night then three" Octavia said with no expression what so ever.
Twilight just held her mouth open and so did the other girls except for Derpy, and Berry who just didn't care or understand. Vinyl though was trying her hardest not to laugh which failed horribly as she pounded the wall trying to hide it. M just floated close to Ed as she leaned towards him a little.
"In all my years I have never met a mare this amazing" M said in a serious tone as she then floated to Octavia and bowed to her as mare drank her tea.
Ed just stood there motionless as he felt like death was coming to get him.
"God, even Celestia herself help me" Ed thought to himself as he backed up towards the window.
Just then Ed felt a tap on his shoulder and turned around only to face palm himself.
"Hello Edward, Is everything okay?" Princess Celestia herself said as she hovered outside the window looking past him and at the scene behind him.
"Please save me" Ed said silently.
10 long minutes later
Everything had calmed down, Twilight Ed and Celestia went to the the unicorns home where her friends were waiting, which Twilight wanted to have a private chat with, leaving Ed outside with Celestia.
Both Ed and Celestia where facing forward as they watched the sun be consumed by darkness. Ed didn't look at the Princess but he could tell she was constantly looking at him. Soon enough she spoke.
"I know what you did for my student" Celestia said causing Ed to sigh.
"I didn't do it so I can prove a point to you" Ed said in matter of fact voice.
"I never said that, but I just wanted to thank you for helping her anyway" The Princess said making Ed look at the Alicorn.
Celestia was smiling at him as he looked at her, he couldn't help but snicker at the moment.
"I'm guessing you already know about my knowledge of the meeting" Ed said as he watched Celestia nod.
"What do you think I will say in this meeting Edward Elric" She said as she looked back forward which Ed did also.
"I don't know... but..." Ed tried to say what was on his mind but couldn't.
"You think I will tell Twilight that story from your past right?" Celestia said hitting the spot.
Ed just nodded as he felt ashamed of himself. "Your not are you" Ed said as he looked over to the Princess.
She slowly folded her arms and spoke. "I did think about that but I am not somepony to share's someones past where it is not my place to"
Ed felt a pressure lift from him that he wouldn't have to deal with now. Ed smiled and looked forward towards the last bit of sun leaving the sky.
"Thanks Celestia" Ed said as he looked back to her.
All of a sudden she was holding knife to his neck and it felt real. He didn't flinch or move but just starred at the dark cold eyes of the Princess as she held the knife. They stood there silently as the wind blew by and the sun went down.
...........
.....................
...................................
He snickered. Then she snickered. Then they both started laughing as Celestia made the knife disappear, they both laughed even louder as Twilight and her friends came out to see what was going on.
"Why are they laughing?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I don't know sugar, but it's scaring me" AJ said as she watched the human and Alicorn laugh out loud.
"I wonder what the joke was!" Pinkie Pie said hopping up and down.
"Well maybe it was a knock-knock joke?" Fluttershy added.
"Hmm, at this point I'm not sure what it was" Rarity said holding a finger to her chin.
"Jeez Princess Celestia never laughed this hard around me" Twilight said causing both Ed and Celestia to halt there laughter.
They both looked at Twilight then back to each other before laughing again, this time harder then before.
"Hey everypony, whats going on?" Spike asked as he came out of the house from his nap.
"Nothing Spike, just nothing" Twilight said as she smiled at the moment.
Night Time
Ed was walking back home leaving Celestia to talk with her student and the girls to wait for Twilight so they can get her something to eat. Ed stopped and looked up at the moon as he stood alone in the streets of Ponyville. He looked back at his day and let out a breath of relief. He didn't need to tell Twilight about his past, helped out the Apple family, and got paid some bits, Ed smiled and began walking again only to stop and realize he would have to deal with Octavia when he gets to the apartment.
"Ugh" Ed said out loud as he now felt tired.
"Why can't things be simple" Ed groaned as he brought his hand up towards the sky.
He looked at the moon again and just stood there letting his arms swing to his side. He remained there staring at it as he let the cool air wrap around him.
Ed sensed a sudden presence to his side suddenly appear and took note of it. It was really close to his body and how Ed didn't notice it before scared him a lot. He didn't hear no footsteps or vibration of any kind. Ed wanted to look to his right but felt as though as long as he stared at the moon and night sky he would be alright. The presence got closer to him and was nearly within touching range. Ed's alarms were ringing for him to turn and look but whoever it was or whatever it was they were attacking him. He felt as though if this being wanted to hurt him they would have done so already.
Ed decided to turn and look at whoever it was standing there beside him and saw nothing. He causally looked and saw nobody there but could still feel the presence right there beside him. He began to walk home to try to lose this thing but it to his dismay it followed him. At one point he stopped and turned around and saw nobody where he felt the presence before. They where there, he knew it, his sense never lied to him before and why should it know. It wasn't M because he knows her, she wouldn't try to trick him like this or scare him at all. This was something different, they had a purpose.
Ed began to walk again and so did the presence as it followed him. He walked for 2 minuted before stopping again and coming to a decision. He turned towards the presence and began walking towards it. He sensed it backing up and avoiding him as it moved out of his way. Ed let it think he didn't know it was there but as soon as it started following him again he turned around and stuck his hand out at it.
...
......
.........
He felt something squishy in his hand and heard a low moan as well. He moved his hand upwards feeling along whatever was there. He felt a chin then some lips. Ed now knew what "it" was. It was an invisible girl. Ed quickly pushed whoever it was away from them only to touch the girl in her squishy spot. Another low moan was heard and Ed froze. Ed kept a clean head as tried to speak.
"Who are you?" He asked out still feeling the girl's presence there.
"M-My name is Moonlight" The girl said as Ed face the exact direction the girl spoke from.
"Why are you following me Moonlight?" Ed asked wanting to hear the girls voice more.
"I have an interest in you" Moonlight said causing Ed to raise an eyebrow.
"Really now? What do you know of me?" Ed asked now standing with his arms crossed.
"You are human, and thou are mysterious" Moonlight said now moving away.
Ed noticed the old English and sensed her moving away so he spoke quickly. "Will I ever see you face to face?" Ed asked.
"We shall see" Moonlight said as she is going to leave.
"Last question... What is thou breast size my lady?" Ed said grinning slowly.
Suddenly a gust of wind came rushing at Ed "How Durst Thine Beseech is!" Moonlight said letting her full voice out which boomed through the night.
Ed smiled and quickly bowed as he felt the presence suddenly disappear.
"Well that was weird" Ed chuckled as he started walking home again.
Princess Luna
The Princess of the night breathed heavily as she held her heart. It was pounding viciously as she held the humans image in her head and his touch in her chest. She felt strange and looked down from the roof she was on too look at the human. He was walking as if nothing happened but then stopped suddenly and turned to look up at her. Her heart began beating again as he stared at her with a smile on his face. She still had the invisible spell on which worked only at night but he stared at her still.
"This human, Why does he make me feel this way?"
Ed
Ed stared at the moon and thought of the name Moonlight and how much of a coincidence it was that the girl he just met came to follow him at night. He took note of it as he began walking away, unaware of the Princesses heart he just stole.
