The Fullmetal Human : The Making of Friendship
Chapter 27 - Bridle Gossip
Previous ChapterNext ChapterEd awoke from his dream of training and sighed quickly. He remembered the events from yesterday, from the conversations he had with the girls in his room (Spitfire, Luna, Trixie, and M) and all the books he read from Twilight. It was safe to say that he finished the collection of books given to him and was now going to do more research on the history book that kept bothering him. Wanting to get a early start on the day Ed jumped up to his feet from the floor and looked to see if everyone was still asleep on his bed. Surely enough he saw all three mares sleeping together in a seductive manner.
Trixie's shirt was almost over her chest while she laid with a hand on her stomach while Luna and Spitfire where laying face to face while there legs were entwined. Ed didn't know how he made it to the floor but just let it slide as he walked over to his desk and picked up his watch. He opened it and saw that it was 6 o'clock in the morning. He closed it after checking the time and walked over to the window opening it as he leaned out of it putting his arms on the frame. He took a deep breath of fresh air letting his lungs fill up. He let it all out in a big yawn and rubbed one of his eyes as he saw the sun coming up.
"Well, time to get the day started"
2 Hours Later
Ed had on a white hoodie with black pants as he made his way down the street. Surprisingly no one was around so he kept his hood off and walked through the streets carrying his messenger bag with the history book inside. He walked for another minute before stopping and realizing something. Nobody was outside. He noticed eyes peaking from nearby windows but he thought nothing of it till now. He was headed to the library but quickly decided against it as he wanted to know what was going. He turned around and started walking towards Sugar Cube Corner as it was the closest place nearby.
"Where is everyone?" Ed thought to himself as he kept scanning the area looking for signs of life.
Ed was almost near Sugar Cube Corner before he spotted somebody. Happy to finally see someone he headed towards them wanting to find answers. As he approached them he saw that it was a female zebra telling from her black and white stripes and feminine figure. She had a brown cloak on for some reason and was digging at the ground with her hand.
"I don't think your gonna find any water here" Ed said as he approached her.
The Zebra looked up to him and smiled taking off her hood as she stood up. "Zecora" She said holding out a hand.
Ed held out his hand and shook hers smiling. "Edward Elric"
Nearby
"What do you think their talking about?
The question was up in the air as Twilight along with the mane six plus the CMC were looking out the window at Ed and the weird pony.
"Do you think Edward's scaring them off?" Rainbow Dash said causing Applejack so scoff.
"Edward wouldn't do that." Applejack said silently staring at Ed from the window.
"OH what if he's secretly becoming her friend!?" Pinkie said suddenly from the group.
"Now why on Equestria would he do that?" Rarity asked as she looked to the energetic mare.
"To follow them to their secret lair of course!" Pinkie said right as the sound of thunder came from the kitchen nearby.
"Ugh Spike!" Twilight said as she walked into the kitchen.
"Sorry Twilight." Spike could be heard sounding sheepish.
"Um... what if he's... just trying to talk to her?" Fluttershy said just loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everypony in the room thought silently thought to themselves as Twilight came back into the room and looked out the window with them.
"Better see before everypony starts spouting again" Twilight thought to herself as she made her way towards the door.
Edward Elric
"Really, I'm new here too" Ed said as he stood across from Zecora smiling.
"That, I can see, for your skin, I've never seen" Zecora said in rhyme.
"Well I just don't have fur that's all but I guess I do look a little different from the ponies here" Ed agreed as he heard someone coming up behind him.
He half turned and saw Twilight coming towards them. He suddenly had a funny idea and decided to act on it. As Twilight came closer he spoke.
"Hey Twilight, me and my new friend Zecora here were talking about making some manticore soup, would you care yo join us?" Ed asked as he silently snickered within putting on a poker face.
Twilight just blinked before shaking her head. "Could you repeat that?"
"Yes indeed, Manticore meat, is great for a feast" Zecora said playing along causing Ed to almost laugh out loud.
Twilight just stood there trying to process what was going on. Her brain was working on overdrive to tell if this was some kind of joke or if they were actual going to eat a manitcore. Apparently it was because the look on her face caused Ed to start laughing before Zecora joined in with a small chuckled.
"Wait so were not going to eat a Manticore?" Twilight said trying to make sure everypony was on the same page.
Ed just laughed even more as Zecora joined in too leaving the chuckles behind.
Twilight just face palmed as she started walking back towards the bakery. "Celestia help me..."
Author's Note
I tried a rhyming thing with Zecora, did anyone like it :3 or was it totally not character enough or something... (Ps Very Tired)
So i'm going to be either skipping all the episode's I don't wanna write, or I'm going to just write very sort chapters till we get to one that I either like or have on schedule.
