If you want my advice - give the shit up." -Michael Townley, GTA V *Brooklyn, NY* BEEP! BEEP! ... BEEP! BEEP! ......... BEEP! BEEP! ".................Oh, Mondays. We contrast so well." As a alarm on a phone goes off, a ghostly white teenager wakes up to do his same old routine: Eat, dress, learn, sleep. This goes on for about 200 days, until summer comes, which he stays at home in his apartment to play video games and jerk off. How meaningful. Not to mention Mondays made him feel depressed to a point of questioning self-worth. More meaning could go into his life if he wasn't a closet nerd ( or at least that was what he thought to himself as ), or maybe it was the fact that his father chained him up like a dog and kept him from reality 4/5th's of the time (school counting as the 20% of the time he was allowed out). Why can't life be more exciting?, thought the young man. I'm not old enough to join the army, so that's out of the question. I can't play sports, because Dad won't let me go outside-or at least for school or the store. And I'm too poor to own a new tv, so I'm stuck. God damn it! The young man proceeded into his bathroom. He looked into the mirror and saw only a plain, expressionless face (Well, that and a BAD case of bed-head) Same messy bed-head as always, thought the teenager. I really gotta' shave this shit... The young man jumped out of his clothes and into the shower. The cold water against his body made him shiver. Yet, he adapted to the cold stream, quickly. Still groggy, the young man proceeds to eat some breakfast. He looked for a box of Oreo's O's. This is probably bad for me, thought the young man.But I think it will jolt me awake. The young man then quietly ate his cereal. The sugar from the cereal jolted him awake for the long and boring Monday to come. Oh boy, was this going to be no ordinary Monday. ***After breakfast*** " Now, son", said the father of the young man. " Come straight home after school. There are gang-" " Yeah Dad, I know!", said the impatient young man. " Can't you trust me with anything? I'm 15, not 3." " Its not trust, its that it's danger-" "Please, I beg you to stop it!" After the previous comment, a yellow school bus arrives at the apartment. " See ya, dad!" *** On the bus *** " If it isn't the whitest, smartest, nigga' around, Thomas Marino!" The young man blushed with his title announced. " Yo! What up, Eddie!", Thomas asked. Eddie was Thomas' friend since kindergarten. A Dominican living in a black community. Eddie had bullying problems, until Tom stood up for him. Ever since, they have skyped each other via laptop and play steam games. "Dude, why'd you leave early in GTA IV?", asked Eddie. "We were so close to earning six stars! We could've earned an achievement if we lasted 5 minutes with six stars!" " Look, I was tired, and I have a lot on my mind.", explained Tom. Eddie had a sad look on his face, considering he didn't have many friends. " Look, we'll make up for it with a game of L4D2 tonight.", said Tom."6:00?" Eddie had a big grin on his face. "6:00 it is, man" The bus had parked into the high school parking lot. * * * * *Later that day* * * * * Thomas and Eddie decided to play a game of left 4 dead 2 (l4d2). The game was a first person shooter where you have to escape a city, flooded with zombies. You could play as one of 4 players: Nick, Coach, Rochelle and Ellis. "Dear god this game is so awesome", Tom complained through his headset. " Why couldn't I been one these players?" " Stop yo' bitchin' and choose yo' player, man! ", snapped Eddie. The 2 decided to play the dark carnival campaign, where you had to survive a carnival filled with infected individuals. Tom chose Ellis, a wise cracking southern mechanic. Eddie chose Coach, a black high school coach. A player joined their game, called Phar0s. He chose Nick as his character. Nick was a convict escapee searching for money in the city of New Orleans. An AI took control of Rochelle, a news room producer on the outbreak of the infection of zombies. " Nice to meet you", said Phar0s in a innocent, child's voice. " Yo' sound a little young to be playin' this shit, kid", asked Eddie. " Not at all", replied Phar0s. Phar0s was surprisingly the best player in the game. He had gotten a rank of number 1 on general defenses. " Damn boy, yo good ", said Eddie, while the second part of the campaign loaded. " Thank you for the compliments", replied Phar0s. Tom then felt a ear splitting headache. The pain of the headache immediately caused him to fall to the floor. "Tom, you ther-AHHHH" Eddie then began to have the same symptoms as Tom, and received the same fate as him. " Sleep well, friends" Im not a human?!-Chapter 2: Im not a human?! "Hey! Wake up!" "......" "If you don't wake up, you're asking me to kick your butt!" "5, 4, 3, 2-" ".........The hell am I-AHH" Thomas had finally awoken. He winced as he felt someone kicked him in the stomach. And the answer to the pain was....a rainbow-haired pony with wings?! "C-calm down! Let's j-just relax", stuttered Tom, "W-who are you? W-where am-" Before Tom could finish, he noticed something: HE HAD NO HANDS. To make it even worse, he had no feet too. And he felt like he was floating above the ground. Regretfully, Tom looked down at the ground. He was standing on a cloud. "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY HANDS?!?!" he screamed, "AND WHY AM I FLOATING?!" "What are hands? Who are you?! And why are you in my house?", the pony asked. 'Alright, just calm down', thought Tom, 'Maybe this is a REALLY bad fever dream. Maybe if I go along with it, I might be able to wake up sooner. But then again, a kick like that to my stomach is no dream' "Listen", said Tom, "I don't mean to intrude. In fact, I don't even know where I am, so let's start over". "So, what's your name? Mine is Tom", he said, "And where am I? And what are you?!" "My name is Rainbow Dash!", exclaimed the pony, "The fastest pegasus in all of Equestria!" "Oh, you mean like in Greek myths?", asked Tom. "What's Greek?", asked Rainbow Dash " Well, I'll explain soon, but what is Equestria?", Tom asked "Its a land ruled by our princess, Celestia" Rainbow Dash explained, "I'll show you around this land." 'Maybe', thought Tom. 'This is god's way of giving me a new social life-no-life entirely! Maybe I'm better accepting my new life, living in a world of ponies!' As Rainbow Dash flew down from her cloud house, she disappeared from sight. Tom, uncomfortable for being alone in a new world, tried to find her without falling off the cloud. With this obstacle, Tom was also not accustomed to walking on all fours, resulting in him constantly falling down. "Five minutes into my new life and I can't even keep up with the others of my race", said Tom Another odd thing he noticed, was that he felt as if he had something on his sides, when he tried to adjust his new body, he felt something opening on him: Wings! Now he felt like he could catch up to rainbow dash. With little experience he had controlling these new found wings, Tom tried to fly, and was about to fall to his doom. " R-rainbow dash! H-help me!", Tom cried. But no one came. 'I guess this new life is over for me', Tom thought. He was about to embrace his fate, just as rainbow dash swooped him up. "Jeez, a Pegasus who can't fly", Rainbow said, upset, " What a cruel world for you" With anger, Tom exclaimed: " Hey! Shut up!" " I guess you don't need my help then....." " Ok, I'm sorry! D-don't let go" As they landed in a middle of a town, Tom noticed something: All the inhabitants were ponies. " What's this place called?", Tom asked. "Ponyville", replied Rainbow Dash. "Original....", muttered Tom, "This feels more like a trip than a fever dream...." "What did I here you say?!", said a defensive Rainbow Dash. " Nothing, nothing!", said a coward Tom. He didn't want to lose the only acquaintance he had, so he thought of something fast. "Have I ever told your eyes match your hair, beautifully might I mention?" With this said, Rainbow Dash' cheeks turned red. Rainbow Dash smiled with that thought in mind. "Really? Y-you think so?", opened up Rainbow, " Because you're not too bad looking yours-" Rainbow shook her head, realizing she had been smooth talked. "Look, please stop trying to hit on me, I don't think you're in my league..." With that said, Rainbow showed Tom around. *Meanwhile* "So, did he come here safely?" "Yes, he had woken up in the house of the loyal one". "Good, now check on him to make sure he is not of full potential". "Yes master". introductions-Chapter 3 introductions "So, Rainbow Dash", Tom tried to make small talk, "What do you do for a living?" "I do stunts for the Wonder Bolts", replied Dash, "It doesn't pay much, but it's worth it, you know what I mean?" Tom just gave her a blank stare. "You DO know who the Wonder Bolts are, right?", inquired Rainbow. ". . . ." "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?", Dash exclaimed. "I come from a place really, really, far away from here", explained Tom. "I think...", he said under his breath. ' I don't know anymore...." "Figures", said Rainbow Dash, " You're a dork who can't fly and who doesn't know about the greatest aerial stunt team ever. And now I have to show you around town, according to Ponyville's Welcome Policy, Article 3, statute 7, subsection 304." "What..." Tom realized he'd just been called a dork. "Hey!", Tom glowered at Rainbow Dash. "Relax man, I'm just joking with you!", Rainbow Dash reassured him, lightly punching him on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, we're passing by a friend of mine who loves jokes." "Who's tha-" Before Tom could finish his sentence, he was bombarded with confetti. "WELCOME TO PONYVILLE!" exclaimed a pink pony. "WHATSYOURNAMEMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEILOVEPARTIESBECAUSETHEYRESOMUCHFUNANDYOURNEWHERESOIGOTTATHROWYOUAWELCOMEPARTY-" "HOW DO YOU BREATHE?!", exclaimed a riled-up Tom. "Like anyone else would, duh!", the pink pony said. "Well, what's your name?", Tom asked. "My name is Pinkie Pie", said the pink equine, " You're Tom, right?" Tom's heart skipped a beat. "Rainbow, how does she know my na-" "She knows everyone, Tom", replied Dash. "Come by SugarCube Corner later", said Pinkie Pie. " I'll host a welcome party there. All my friends will be there!" " Nice to m-meet you, Pinkie Pie", said a shaken Tom, extending a hand ('Hoof', he reminded himself', 'I don't have hands anymore'). "Awww, nice to meet you too Tom", said a touched Pinkie Pie, taking his one hoof in both of hers and giving three shakes. "See ya, Dashie!", said pinkie pie, as she trotted away, enthusiastically. "See you later, pinkster", replied Rainbow Dash. With that said, the duo moved onto their next stop: Carousel Boutique. ****************************************** "Dash, no offense, but your friend scares me", admitted Tom. "She's a nice mare once you get to know her", Rainbow Dash said, " My next friend is a 'fashionista' or whatever she calls herself." The two pegasi came to a shop with an interesting design on it. "Welp, this is it", said Rainbow Dash, "Might wanna be quiet, she might be working on a dress or something." The two gently opened the door, and found a little pony with a horn on its forehead (a unicorn, Tom deduced), sitting down, doing some paperwork. The little pony had a white and light purple mane, with white fur. "Hey Dash", asked Tom, "Who is that?" "That's my friend's younger sister, Sweetie Belle", answered Dash. "She's so cute, I'm getting diabetes!" "What?" "Never mind..." Tom walked over to the little filly. "'Hello there! What's your name?", asked Tom "My name is Sweetie Belle", the filly said, "I'm looking for my cutie mark in math!" "Cutie mark? What's that?", Tom asked. "It's when a pony discovers their own special talent", explained Sweetie Belle, talking slowly, like he was a small child (oh, the irony!). "What is your cutie mark supposed to be?" Sweetie Belle pointed at his posterior. On it was a tattoo of the World tarot card. "Erm, I guess I like cards?", Tom replied. "That's a weird talent...", said Sweetie Belle. Just at that moment a ringing sound was heard from the door. A white unicorn with a glossy violet mane had entered "Sweetie Belle!", said a voice. " I'm hom-" Just before she could go on any further, she was surprised to see two other ponies in her home. Rainbow Dash (odd, she didn't normally hang around here), and a right-swept haired, indigo furred pegasus. His eyes were brown, just like his hair. He didn't seem to focus on one thing. He seemed too anxious and too tense. 'What a charming stallion', thought Rarity "Hello there, darling, may I ask your name?", asked Rarity to Tom, in a seductive tone. "I'm Tom", Tom explained, "And you are? For a moment, Rarity cringed at the name of "Tom" for reasons she did not want to talk about. "Rarity," the unicorn introduced herself, "Where are you from, darling?" "The USA", said Tom, "It's really far away from here." "Interesting", said Rarity, "Tom, you must tell me more." "Oh, will you look at the time! Dash and I've gotta get going", he explained nervously. Tom tried to gallop but couldn't, being new to walking on all fours. Taking the hint, Rainbow Dash grabbed Tom by the arm and flew out of the boutique. "See ya, Rare!", said Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, you stallion stealer!" ********************************************* "Thanks for getting me out of there, Dash," said a gracious Tom. "No sweat!" said a pumped-up Rainbow Dash, "Hey, we should go to Twilight's house!" " Who's Twilight?" asked Tom. "Twilight Sparkle is the local nerd," a blunt Dash replied. "Isn't that a little harsh, especially if she's your friend?" remarked Tom. "You need to lighten up!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, " She's a unicorn that lives in a library. She's really smart, probably the smartest pony I know." "That DOES sound pretty nerdy. I mean, who lives in a library? I still think that was kinda mean, though," Tom said. "Oi", muttered Dash. "Hypocrite" * * * *At the library* * * * "She lives in a tree, that is also a library?" asked Tom, standing outside the library. The sodium-rich ironyhe thought to himself. "Wouldn't that be dangerous during a storm? Plus, how hasn't it rotted out yet?" a (once-again) confused Tom commented. "She has a lightning rod. As for the whole rotting-out thing...all I can say is, Twilight's really good at magic," said Rainbow Dash. "Actually, she's probably is one of the best there is." When the two pegasi entered the library, a creature could be seen on the far end of the library, standing over a pony. " Wahh!" shouted Tom, "There's a monster!" "Tom, wait!" yelled RD. Tom grabbed a nearby stick and placed it in his mouth, charging straight for the beast. With a whack on the head, the beast was seeing stars. "You idiot! That was Spike!" , Dash told him. "Who?" asked Tom. As Tom spoke, the monster belched green flames, burning the stick and singeing Tom's teeth. "YOW!!" Tom yelled in pain, teeth burning. "That'll teach you to hurt me," said the beast. With that said, the pony yawned and got up, revealing a unicorn with a dark purple mane with a red stripe and the same shade of purple fur. "*Yawn*, Spike, what's that commotion?", asked the half-asleep unicorn, "I dozed off while reading-again. I hope I didn't sleep too long again." "Some maniac tried to hit me. He's over there!" the tiny beast responded and pointed at Tom, making him look like the bad guy. The unicorn's eyes snapped all the way open and she teleported to Tom, pinning him to the floor. "NOBODY HURTS SPIKE!!" the pony shouted with a fire in her eyes that almost made Tom piss himself. "Twilight , he didn't mean it! He thought you were being attacked by Spike," explained Rainbow Dash. "Oh!" the fire dimmed and the pony helped Tom to his hooves. "Who are you?" asked the suspicious unicorn. "I'm Tom, a...an acquaintance of Rainbow Dash," Tom answered, " And you're Twilight Sparkle, if I'm not mistaken?" "Yes, indeed!" the unicorn beamed, "And that is my number one assistant, Spike the dragon!" Spike glared at Tom, rubbing the goose-egg bump where he'd been whacked. He was still not satisfied, and was waiting for an apology. "Hey man, I'm sorry," apologized Tom, "Look, I thought you were going to hurt her." "Are you kidding me?" said Spike, "Twilight raised me! She's the closest thing I have to a mother!" "I can relate. I haven't had a mom for a long while..." Tom said wistfully. "How do I know you're not lying?" asked Spike. In a straight and serious face, Tom coldly said, "She died in an accident." The whole room had turned quiet. Rainbow felt more concerned for Tom. Gee, if he would've told me sooner..... thought Dashie, But wait! I just met him! Grr, get ahold of yourself, Rainbow Dash! " Alright....I-I believe you...." Spike said, quietly. "Aight' man, we cool?" asked Tom. "........Yeah," said Spike. " Again, terrible apologies to the misfortunate event I caused," Tom apologized, this time to Twilight. "You're forgiven, just don't do anything like that again," said a much calmer Twilight. "Thank you, Miss Sparkle," Tom said as he and Rainbow Dash departed to their next destination: Sweet Apple Acres. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As the two drew closer to the farm, Tom's galloping improved. He was even able to fly a few feet from the ground without face planting. "So, your friend's family works on the farm, huh?" Tom inquired. " Yeah," replied Rainbow Dash, " She makes a living off of it." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In the distance, a orange furred, blonde-maned pony with a cowboy hat could be seen bucking apples off trees. 'Interesting way of retrieving apples from the tree...' thought Tom. " Ey' Rainbow Dash, " yells the cowpony, "Who's yer friend there?" " This is Tom, AJ," said Rainbow Dash, "He comes from USA, a place far from Equestria." "How do ya do,Tom?" the pony gave him a firm hoofshake, "Mah name is Applejack." "Nice to meet you Applejack," said Tom with a smile, "Who's that over there?" Tom pointed to a little red-headed filly not too far from the acres. "That there is mah sister, Applebloom. She's tryin' to get her cutie mark like always. That filly next to her is her friend, Scootaloo." "Where is her family?" he asked. "They're with the stars now....." Applejack took off her hat in respect. "Wow, I'm so sorry", said Tom. "Who's her caregiver?" "Her sister, Cherilee, the school teacher." "My word," Tom exclaimed. "Yeah, she sure has quite a hoofull, but she manages ta balance everythin' out pretty well." "Well, good luck on that apple bucking!" exclaims Rainbow Dash before flying off. "Well, I wish you, yours, and Scootaloo's good luck!" Tom said before running after Rainbow Dash. "Why thank y'all!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Their final stop was Fluttershy's cottage, on the boarder of the EverFree forest. "Your friend's name is Fluttershy? What does she do?" Tom asked. "She takes care of animals," Rainbow Dash said, "She's very....shy." "What a twist," he muttered sarcastically. ***A Short While Later*** As the two made it closer to the cottage, a burning pain suddenly shot through Tom's skull, seeming to make him feel like he got tazed with a 400 watt stun gun. The pain had caused him to collapse to the ground. "Tom, are you alright?" a concerned Rainbow asked. "What's it matter to you?!" Tom snapped. "Well, because-" "It's because you think I'm playing the sympathy card. Well, you're wrong!" "Wow, you're pissed," Rainbow Dash said, surprised. "Well? Come on? Where's Fluttershy's cottage?", persisted Tom. "O-oh, yeah, I forgot." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *knock, knock* "Fluttershy! You there?" asked Rainbow Dash, knocking on a door again. "Rainbow Dash, is that you?" asked a meek voice. "Yeah! Can you let me in?" A pink-maned pegasus with yellow fur stepped out of the door. "Sure, how are yo- EEK!" the pegasus ran back inside. "Um, do I really look that bad?" asked Tom. "She's not used to other people, especially people that come to her house," explained Rainbow Dash, "I probably should have told her there was someone new with me." "She really is. . . . shy", Tom said, "Umm, let's see her later, at that welcoming party." The Welcoming Party-Chapter 4: The Welcoming Party *****later that evening***** Tom and Rainbow Dash go to the welcoming party, held at sugarcube corner. While following Dash to the bakery, Tom realized one important, crucial, and essential thing in living in a environment: A home. "So rainbow, I, um-" " What?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Umm, if you don't mind and have the space, can I......c-can...I...." " Spit it out, already!", said an impatient Rainbow Dash. Tom then went on his forelegs and begged. "Please let me stay at your house!", cried Tom. "You're the only friend I have! I don't have a home, but I'll work for you! I'm good at cooking! Heck, I'll find a job ASAP!" " But I-" "Please?" "But- Tom then gave the saddest puppy-dog eyes that Rainbow Dash had ever seen. It could beat Fluttershy's pleading eyes in a contest. " *sigh*, fine", said Rainbow Dash. "But don't rub it in anyone else's face! I'll let you sleep in the spare room I never use. You'll be working for me tomorrow on, till' you can pay for your rent." Tom cried in gratitude with this said. "T-THANK YOU! ILL WORK MY HARDEST, MIO PADRONE!" " What?", asked a confused Rainbow Dash. " 'mio padrone! ' means 'my master' from my culture ", explained Tom " W-well, thanks for the support, my slave" blushed a corrected Dash. " We call servants: sono la tua cagna (I'm your bitch) , ", explained Tom. " Whatever. Sono lah tuah cawgna" "*Snicker*" *****sugarcube corner***** For a welcoming party, it was amazing for Tom. There was a DJ named Vinyl, a ton of treats and other junk that put a little weight on Tom, and even an alligator?! " Relax, Gummy won't hurt you", Pinkie Pie comforted Tom. " He doesn't have teeth to bite you anyway." "Ok, I trust you Pinkie." "Dashie, I take back what I said: Pinkie Pie is amazing!" " I know, right?", Rainbow Dash agreed. " She's an excellent jokester too!" " I can see that by the alligator....f*cker scared the heck out of me.", Tom muttered. In the back of Toms eye, he could see the Shy pegasus from earlier. Tom slowly approached her. "Hello", said Tom. " whats your name?" "Hello, I'm flutter shy", said the pegasus. " Im sorry, what was that?" The pegasus started to whimper. " dont cry!", asked Tom. Come on Tom, you moron!, Tom thought to himelf. What did dashie say about her interests? She liked animals, didn't she? Was that his conscious? "D-do you like animals?" ! Suddenly, the Pegasus had a gleeful expression on her "Did you say animals? I love animals! What's your favorite kind of animal?", said the super excited pegasus. "What's your name in the first place?", asked Tom. "Fluttershy, and you are?", asked the pegasus. " My name is Tom", replied Tom. "It is a pleasure to make your aquantaince." "Welcome to Ponyville, Tom", said a cheery Fluttershy. Tom and Fluttershy went on a whole conversation about animals. *****Later That Night***** " Yo applejack! Did'ja bring the cider like we said?", asked a impatient Rainbow Dash " Sure did!", replied Applejack. She loaded 10 six packs of cider on the floor, next to the table that she was sitting at. "Who wants to play truth or dare?", asked Rainbow Dash. With that said, bunch of ponies gathered around the table, ready to play. Rainbow Dash explained the rules to Tom: "For the newcomer: Here's how truth or dare works: You take a shot of Applejack's hard cider for every dare or truth asked. Keep going till' you pass out." "Yeah, can I just ask one question", asked Tom. " What's the legal age I can drink?" " do ya have your cutie mark?", asked rainbow dash "yeah" "then start playing!" Rainbow dash then grabbed a bottle of the (hard?) cider. She took a big swig of the drink and spun the bottle. The pony it landed on, was Fluttershy. "Oh dear....", said the threatened pegasus. "Truth or dare", asked Rainbow Dash. "Truth if you don't mind.....", answered Fluttershy. " Was it true that you killed a bear?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Twilight told me..." " Oh, that", understood fluttershy. " You see, I was giving it a massage, when twilight saw me." " Some massage , thought Tom. Fluttershy then took a guzzle of the bottle. Before she could spin the bottle, her face turned red and she passed out on the floor in exhaustion. "She couldn't even reach half the bottle", observed Rainbow Dash. "What. A. Shame." Rainbow Dash took the bottle and spun it for Fluttershy. The bottle landed on Tom. "Truth or dare", asked Rainbow Dash. Dammit thought Tom. It's bad enough I mentioned the death of mum'. Better choose a dare. "Alright, Rainbow". said Tom. " I'll take a dare". Rainbow Dash had a mischievous grin on her face. Shit , thought Tom. shit is going to go down! " I dare you to......" With the suspense of what the dare was, Rainbow Dash's grin grew wider, while Tom's face grew paler. " I dare you to eat this!" Rainbow Dash pulled out a rainbow frosted cupcake. "that's it?", asked Tom. "Just eating a cupcake?" "Yeah, its good", replied Rainbow Dash. " Me and pinkie pie made it". "Oh well. Easy. As. Pie." Tom then took a bite. With that, Tom felt a sensation in his mouth- a burning sensation. "YOWWWWWWW!!!!!!" Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were on the floor, laughing hysterically. " Hot sauce always works", exclaimed Pinkie to Rainbow. Tom immediately turned towards the table, containing the bottle of cider. Before he could drink it, Rainbow yanked it away. " Not till' you finish the whole cupcake!", said Rainbow Dash. Tom then shoved the whole cupcake down his gullet. His whole throat felt like it was on fire. Tom then grabbed the bottle of cider, but found none inside the bottle. Applejack took out another bottle of cider. " Ere'", said Applejack. "Catch!" With that said, Tom caught the bottle and took a big swig of the alcohol. It had a "rusty and metallic taste to it", so Tom recognized it was definitely alcohol." Then Tom spun the bottle.... ********Lots of drinking later*************** A drunken Tom and Rainbow Dash had returned to Dash's house. "Ey' Rainbow! *hiccup* H-hey!"" said a drunken Tom. "*hiccup* What?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Ima tell all mah' friends, I slept at your place.", answered Tom. "S-shut up! You *hic* little h-horny bastard!" " Shut the *hic* up. At l-least I'm straight, you gay pride activist!" " You *hiccup* want straight?", asked Rainbow Dash. " I'll g-give you straight!" With that said, Rainbow reached over to Tom, and gave him a kiss. Her tongue swished in his mouth like a car wash. When she was done with him, she took out her mouth from his mouth, with drool dripping from Rainbow Dash's face. " T-that good enough for you, Tommy?", asked Rainbow Dash. Tom, with no strength left, collapsed on the floor. " Come on, let's go'ta sleep." Getting a Job-Chapter 5: Getting a job "Come on! Wake up!", exclaimed a impatient Tom. ".......*groan*....... What?", moaned a tired Rainbow Dash, on her cloud bed. " I made pancakes. " Rainbow Dash immediately sprung out of the bed. " You said ' Pancakes'?! ", said Rainbow Dash. " You can cook?! " "Didn't I tell you?" said Tom." I can cook! Whatever. Just come into the kitchen." Before Tom could take a foot out to trot ( "Hoof! Gotta stop saying foot", said Tom), she raced into the kitchen. In it was breakfast heaven. Stacks of pancakes, drizzeled in syrup, sunnyside eggs ( Dashie's favorite), and corn muffins, were all on her table. Rainbow Dash had never seen a home-cooked breakfast this good since she was living with her family. This had caused her to tear up a little inside. "Well? Whaddaya' think?", asked Tom. " It might not be as good as I normally cook, because I don't have han- I mean cookbook, but I'd say I did a good job." " It's-it's-" "Well?!" "Amazing!", exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Well, eat!", exclaimed Tom. " Tell me what you think of it. Try the pancakes." Rainbow Dash took a fork with her hooves. ( 'How do you do that without dropping it', thought Tom) She then proceeded to take a bite out of the pancakes. It felt like she tasted a bit of nirvana. " Faaa.......", muttered Dashie in awe. Tom watched this with a sigh of relief, knowing his landlord was pleased. "You know what kid," said Rainbow Dash. " You've done good...." *****************After a big breakfast***************** " Whelp, I gotta find a job", Tom said to Rainbow Dash. "Well, I maybe I can help you find one." happily replied Rainbow Dash. "After all, you did make me pancakes." " Yeah, well now I owe you more.", muttered Tom. " So what jobs do you recommend?" " Well, you could work for twilight", suggested Rainbow Dash " But after what you did, she might not give you any money." Tom walked towards the front door of Dash's house. " Well, I'll go check to see if she'll let me." said Tom. " See ya Dashie!" " See you Marino-Hanojo!" ***At the library*** " So, let me get this straight", said Twilight. " After beating my assistant with a stick, and sneaking into my library, you expect me to pay you for manual labor in which you owe me?" Tom once again went onto his knees, and pleaded with puppy-dog eyes. " 'Pwease'? ", begged Tom. " Grr, alright!", said Twilight. " But you are going to work-to the bone!" Tom, with this said, gulped. "Follow me", said Twilight. With that said, Tom followed Twilight next to some shelves. There was a humongous amount of books on the shelves. " You see all these books?", asked Twilight. "Yes", replied Tom. With the response, a purple aura had surrounded her horn. Simultaneously, the books on the shelf received a purple aura. Then, all the books fell on the ground. "Re-arrange these in alphabetical order.", said Twilight. " Report back to me when you are done." With that said, Twilight went up to the second floor of the library and began to read a book, entitled "Fallout Equestria". Spike then came out from up-stairs with a bucket of popcorn and a cup of cola in his hands. "This is going to be so hilarious!" said Spike. " You, work to the bone while I watch." "Hey, I thought we were cool, man!" " So what?", asked Spike. "You still owe me. By the way, what's a man?" " I'll explain when I'm done with this re-shelving business!" ***several hours later*** Tom had finished reshelving all the books. He even dusted the books and the shelves. "Hey Twilight", Tom called out from the library. " I finished re-shelving all your books!" Twilight trotted down the stairs to her library. "Impressive", she said, admiring the dusted book shelf. "I will give you 20 bits for working hard" "What are bits?", asked a confused Tom. "Have you been living under a rock!?" exclaimed Twilight. "It's basic currency!" "I am new here", Tom said, "I told you, I came from a different country" "Just go before I change my mind", said an annoyed twilight. Tom, unhesitant, took the money from twilight. "Have a Good night, Miss Sparkle." *********** As Tom was walking home to Rainbow Dash's house, Tom heard a familiar voice in a near alleyway. "Just tell me already! Who are you and where are we?" A earth pony was holding a small filly in a stripped shirt ("Why is this pony wearing a stripped shirt?",Tom said, under his breath). "Eddie?" "Tom?" Old Friends n' New Enemies-chapter 6 old friends n' new enemies. Tom stared blankly at the red maned, brown skinned, earth pony, as the small horse trotted away timidly. " E-Eddie? Is that you?!", demanded Tom. " I don't f*cking know!", an angry Eddie yelled. " F*ck is with the ponies man?!" " Look, Eddie, it's kinda' hard to explain: We're in a world with unicorns and god damn flying ponies. I CANNOT stress how much crazier that can get. A-and you were beating on a child-horse-thing? What is with you? That is not like you!" "That child apparently f*cked us over", explained Eddie. " I was trying to interrogate the POS, but you had to drop in, like a bomb." " Dammit! Why can't I do anything right?!" " Look, man. Chill out. You. Me. We are apparently Dr. Who's here." " What do you mean 'Dr. Who's' ?", asked Tom. " We can reincarnate into any universe, form, or dimension we want to. We're gods! That's what that kid told me so far." " That explains the crossover here", realized Tom. "But how did we exactly cross over to this dimension?" "I thought that I would let you make some new friends here. You know, since you two only had each other" ! ! Both Eddie and Tom jerked their heads around to see the same small boy Eddie was "interrogating" moments before. The small filly slowly morphed into a small human boy, with bright, blue eyes, dark, blue hair, and a black and white stripped shirt with grey sandals with blue straps. The boy had a innocent look of a child on his face. "Finally nice to meet you two in person", said the boy. "Heh, heh, get it? Because I'm in my human form and you two are equ-" " Cut the crap", interrupted Eddie. " Tell us who you are!" "Fine, I will be more serious, 'Edison Organde'!" Before Eddie could charge at the boy, Tom restrained him. "Boy, calm your ass!", barked Tom. He then looked at the boy. "Sorry for my friend, he is....different", Tom apologized. "But, I must side with Eddie. Who are you, and why did you bring us here?" "Fine, I will both tell you why I dragged you here" "My job", explained the boy. " as Pharos, the demi-god of hell, is to ensure loose souls do not escape from hell. If loose souls are unable to return to hell, then I have to owe the god of heaven, favors. You two, were experiments similar to living TARDIS's-" "But how do you know about doctor who-" "SILENCE!!!", exclaimed Pharos, in a loud booming voice that could be heard from miles away. "As I was saying: You two were like living TARDIS': You could travel wherever at whatever point in time. You both were unstable, unfortunately: both mentally, and emotionally. So we killed you in the mean time. Once the god of heaven found a way to keep you both stablized, he asked me for two favors: To bring back the white one, and to bring back the hispanic one. It would take 14 years to keep your powers sedated. Once you hit 14 years of age, I would give you the little boost you needed to discovering your powers. However, I was a bit late to the party, and was tracking two loose souls for almost a year and a half. Those two souls were the two favors I owed from god. I thought I would make these your best 2 days before I killed you by sending you to a place where friends are waiting to be acquainted with." Pharos then materialized a scythe from thin air. "Now its time to return the favor" "C-cant we get a second chance or something like that?", Eddie asked, slowly backing away from the demi-god. "We want to remember those we loved. C-couldn't w-we show you what we got? I-I mean, we are magical creatures!" Dear god, did I really say that?, Eddie thought to himself . . . "Fine, you have one, full day/24 hours to prepare to fight me. That is the only way you're going to prove to me that your lives are worth living. Fail me, and I will drag you both to hell along with this world!" Tom and Eddie's faces grew paler than ghosts after being told the ordeal. "I will be waiting for you in celestia's castle", said Pharos. "You mean the ruler?", remembered Tom. "M-mind telling us where it exactly is?" Pharos pointed to the direction of a castle along a mountain. "Ask Twilight for anymore information", suggested Pharos. "She is her most prized pupil." "How do you know-" "I know everything." And with that, Pharos vanished in thin air. Eddie, afterwards, smiled sheepishly at Tom, who had a very stern look on his face. Suddenly, the main six came running to the alleyway, alerted to the loud voice heard from miles away. "What in the name of Celestia happened?", exclaimed Twilight. "Yeah!", demanded Rainbow Dash. "What the hell just happened?" ". . .Eddie just screwed the world", Tom said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *At twilight's treehouse* "So what do we do now", asked Tom to Eddie. "We are going to die trying to kill a god. And even if we die, we're going to hell along with this world." Twilight, grew more impatient while asking the constant question: "What happened out there?!" Angrily, Eddie lashed out at Tom. "Well, maybe, if you would've turned off that god damn privacy option, we wouldn't be in so much trouble!" "Oh and what would that do?", exclaimed Tom. "Stop him from coming?!-Like a mother-fucking light-night in a child's bedroom?! You don't fucking get it: He would come and kill us anyway!" "Now, for the last time!", exclaimed Twilight. "What happened out-" "Shut the fuck up!", exclaimed the two boys. "Gah! I've had it with this bullshit!", exclaimed Eddie, as he galloped out the door of the library. Tom then faced his attention to Twilight. "You! You want answers, I'll give you some mother fucking answers!" Tom told everything to Twilight: His origins, abilities Pharos, and that the world would go down with them if they lost the battle with Pharos. "WE'RE ALL GOING TO HELL?!?!", screamed Twilight. "Yeah! And their ain't nothing we can do about it.", Tom said. "I'm. . .I'm sorry." In another rage, twilight's eyes were dead set on killing Tom- leaving no mercy. She jumped onto him as she immediately began to punch him, senselessly. This continued for a moment, until Tom started to bleed from his nose. "WAIT! ! ! !", yelled Tom. Twilight immediately stopped attacking to listen to him. "Do you have an armory- anywhere? Because I can kill if you have anything of use for me. Maybe if we use your magic, and me and eddie's abilities, we can take down Pharos." "Well, the princess did load me up with various metal works, and other equipment", suggested Twilight, as she lifted Tom up. "That is all I need. . .", Tom said with a gleeful look in his eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Tom trotted with twilight to the corner of her library. At the corner's wall, was an almost jarring patch of wood. Twilight then proceeded to push the patch with her hoof. The wall revealed a huge wall of katanas, machetes, armor, ninja stars, and other iron works. What struck Tom's eyes was a gun rack. The guns' handles were noticeably larger than most guns. Figures, Thought Tom. With hooves, you need more room to fit your hand-er hoof, in the trigger. The wall was rigged with a variety of revolvers, shotguns, and rifles. "Wait a sec' ", said Tom. "How do ponies use revolvers if they don't have hands to hold it steadily?" "Hands? What are those?" "Bitch, do you listen?", said Tom. "They're basically claws!" "Well I'm sorry. In our world, the first thing that we pay dearly attention to IS THAT THE MOTHER-BUCKING WORLD IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED!", barked Twilight. "Well, we might have a chance at saving it.", said Tom, as he held a Remington Model 870. However what was no forestock, but a small compartment to pump the shotgun. He remembered the days of playing Black Ops 2 as he pumped the gun. Now I get to fire this like in those games, Tom thought to himself. Dad would never let me handle this shit. "Are you all set?", asked a impatient Twilight. "Locked and Loaded", replied Tom. "Now all I gotta' do is find. . . .Eddie" Searching for Old Friends-Chapter 7: Searching for Old Friends Tom dashed out of the library, with a backpack filled with guns, metal works, and other weapons that would most likely aid in his quest to help stop Equestria's destruction. But the real problem was to find Eddie. HE would aid in his help protecting Equestria. HE was the other unhuman being that God created. HE was Tom's only friend. A young boy is pummeled to the concrete floor of a playground, as 3 teens are bullying him. " Admit it, you mother fucker! You like dicks. Maybe we'll go easy on you if you admit it", said the tallest of the three kids. "N-no!", said the young man, whimpered. " I have my pride!" The second tallest boy of the group, kicked the boy in his crotch. He started to tear up as the foot pounded into his testicles. " Well, I guess you're ready for round three, then.", he chuckled, not after spitting into the boys eyes. The smallest of the group, elbowed the boy into his chest- *hard*. The young boy let out a low howl as he was merciless to the three troublemakers. " Final chance, bitch!", rasped the smallest one. " N-n-no", cried the young man. He coughed up a trickle of blood as he stood up, from his beat down. The tallest teen of the group kicked him back down to the floor. He readied his foot to smash the young man's head. " Any last words, before I kill you?", said the teen, with a shit eating grin. "How's about you fuck off, before *I** finish you figlio di puttana (mother fuckers) off?"* Out of a nearby slide, emerged a pale young boy, who was reasonably taller than the other boy, but shorter than the tallest teenager of the group. " Who the *fuck** are you?", asked the smallest teenager in the group.* "No need for explanation", said the boy. "Just leave the kid alone, or I'll give you idiota (assholes) something to bitch about". The teens just laughed like hyenas. "*chuckle* And what are *you** going to do about it?", asked the second tallest teen.* Suddenly, the young man pulled out a silenced handgun from his pocket. " Well, I stolen your fucking weapon." He shot the gun three times in the air. The three teenagers raised their hands in a similar fashion to a stickup. " Look man", said the second eldest. " We'll leave, and never say anything about this. I have a mother to look after!" " Then go make her proud", said the pale young man. " *And fuck off!*" The three boys ran off as soon as he finished the sentence. The pale boy turned to the kid, who was terrified at what he witnessed. " Do you need some help?" asked the pale boy, extending a hand. The boy hesitated. "Relax, I don't bite." The boy grasped onto his hand and pulled himself up. " Thanks", said the boy to the young, pale man. " My name is Eddie. What's yours?" The young man smiled. " The name's Tom. I hope we can become better friends." Tom reminisced about the first time he met Eddie. He remembered the first time he ever held a pistol. Those were the good days. Tom searched high and low for Eddie. He searched all of Ponyville, asking them if they knew the whereabouts of Eddie. He searched Sweet Apple Acres ("Sorry, aw' ain't seen this "Eddie" folk yer describing", said Applejack). He searched Carousel Boutique ("I'd do anything for you, Tom. Unfortunately, I haven't had a customer all day. I'll tell you if I seen him.", Rarity told him.). He searched Sugar Cube Corner ("Sorry haven't seen him here before: ever!", exclaimed Pinkie Pie). He checked fluttershy's cottage ( "Umm, very, very sorry. I haven't seen this Eddie stallion you've described to me. If I see him, I'll tell you", said Fluttershy). He even checked with Rainbow Dash if she knew where he was ( "Sounds like a cool dude. Look, me and the wonder bolts will search the skies for him", offered Rainbow Dash.). Where could he be? Tom, about ready to give up, sat on a bench. He was about to give up the search for Eddie, until: " What's the matter, chap?", asked a stallion next to him. He had brown fur over a brown mane. His cutie mark, was a hourglass. " Man, I felt like I screwed up everything. My best friend is gone missing, and I've screwed up: big time.", he said, depressingly. " Well, it could always be worse in the end. Besides: there is always tomorrow. Always believe in faith." . . . " You know what? You have a point: So what if my friend is missing? So what if I fucked over Equestria? I don't care, because I'm going to fix it all!" "That's the spirit- WAIT A BLOODY SECOND! WHAT WAS THAT LAST LINE?!" " Thanks mister", said Tom as he shook the stallion's hoof, oblivious to his previous question. " I'm going to save the world!" " Tom!", yelled Rainbow Dash from the clouds. " I think we found Eddie!" Tom was gleeful at this. He bolted from the ground, to the sky. " Well, where is he?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Eddie looked depressed at the sunset that laid between him,a nice view of Ponyville and a 500 foot deep cliff that would lead to his demise. Before even preparing to jump in, he threw a rock in the abyss. He listened closely for the rock to hit to the bottom of the cliff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ping! It took a total of 30 seconds for the rock to hit the ground. It should be enough to kill me, thought Eddie. "Well, mom, I'm sorry I wasn't able to go to Harvard! I'll always remember you when I'm dead!" Eddie leaped straight into the canyon. Everything he loved, will only be a memory, once he burns in hell. He closed his eyes, and embraced death. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Why wasn't he dead? Eddie opened his eyes, only to reveal that a pegasus was carrying him: Tom, to be exact. " T-Tom! You. . .STOPPED ME FROM BURNING IN HELL FASTER!" " Well excuse me for giving you this!" Tom pulled a grenade launcher from his backpack. " I figured that you would need this, considering you doomed half this nation with that stupid stunt ya pulled" " YOU DID WHAT?!?!?!", yelled a shocked Rainbow Dash, who was listening the whole time behind the two stallions. " So, they found out?" " Yes my lord, I told them everything." "You will be punished for doing that." "Yes, my master."
Phar0s, the mysterious playerThe Second Chance by Icypilot3733 and Duncan Zundel "You know, I've been in this game for a lot of years and I got out alive. If you want my advice - give the shit up." -Michael Townley, GTA V *Brooklyn, NY* BEEP! BEEP! ... BEEP! BEEP! ......... BEEP! BEEP! ".................Oh, Mondays. We contrast so well." As a alarm on a phone goes off, a ghostly white teenager wakes up to do his same old routine: Eat, dress, learn, sleep. This goes on for about 200 days, until summer comes, which he stays at home in his apartment to play video games and jerk off. How meaningful. Not to mention Mondays made him feel depressed to a point of questioning self-worth. More meaning could go into his life if he wasn't a closet nerd ( or at least that was what he thought to himself as ), or maybe it was the fact that his father chained him up like a dog and kept him from reality 4/5th's of the time (school counting as the 20% of the time he was allowed out). Why can't life be more exciting?, thought the young man. I'm not old enough to join the army, so that's out of the question. I can't play sports, because Dad won't let me go outside-or at least for school or the store. And I'm too poor to own a new tv, so I'm stuck. God damn it! The young man proceeded into his bathroom. He looked into the mirror and saw only a plain, expressionless face (Well, that and a BAD case of bed-head) Same messy bed-head as always, thought the teenager. I really gotta' shave this shit... The young man jumped out of his clothes and into the shower. The cold water against his body made him shiver. Yet, he adapted to the cold stream, quickly. Still groggy, the young man proceeds to eat some breakfast. He looked for a box of Oreo's O's. This is probably bad for me, thought the young man.But I think it will jolt me awake. The young man then quietly ate his cereal. The sugar from the cereal jolted him awake for the long and boring Monday to come. Oh boy, was this going to be no ordinary Monday. ***After breakfast*** " Now, son", said the father of the young man. " Come straight home after school. There are gang-" " Yeah Dad, I know!", said the impatient young man. " Can't you trust me with anything? I'm 15, not 3." " Its not trust, its that it's danger-" "Please, I beg you to stop it!" After the previous comment, a yellow school bus arrives at the apartment. " See ya, dad!" *** On the bus *** " If it isn't the whitest, smartest, nigga' around, Thomas Marino!" The young man blushed with his title announced. " Yo! What up, Eddie!", Thomas asked. Eddie was Thomas' friend since kindergarten. A Dominican living in a black community. Eddie had bullying problems, until Tom stood up for him. Ever since, they have skyped each other via laptop and play steam games. "Dude, why'd you leave early in GTA IV?", asked Eddie. "We were so close to earning six stars! We could've earned an achievement if we lasted 5 minutes with six stars!" " Look, I was tired, and I have a lot on my mind.", explained Tom. Eddie had a sad look on his face, considering he didn't have many friends. " Look, we'll make up for it with a game of L4D2 tonight.", said Tom."6:00?" Eddie had a big grin on his face. "6:00 it is, man" The bus had parked into the high school parking lot. * * * * *Later that day* * * * * Thomas and Eddie decided to play a game of left 4 dead 2 (l4d2). The game was a first person shooter where you have to escape a city, flooded with zombies. You could play as one of 4 players: Nick, Coach, Rochelle and Ellis. "Dear god this game is so awesome", Tom complained through his headset. " Why couldn't I been one these players?" " Stop yo' bitchin' and choose yo' player, man! ", snapped Eddie. The 2 decided to play the dark carnival campaign, where you had to survive a carnival filled with infected individuals. Tom chose Ellis, a wise cracking southern mechanic. Eddie chose Coach, a black high school coach. A player joined their game, called Phar0s. He chose Nick as his character. Nick was a convict escapee searching for money in the city of New Orleans. An AI took control of Rochelle, a news room producer on the outbreak of the infection of zombies. " Nice to meet you", said Phar0s in a innocent, child's voice. " Yo' sound a little young to be playin' this shit, kid", asked Eddie. " Not at all", replied Phar0s. Phar0s was surprisingly the best player in the game. He had gotten a rank of number 1 on general defenses. " Damn boy, yo good ", said Eddie, while the second part of the campaign loaded. " Thank you for the compliments", replied Phar0s. Tom then felt a ear splitting headache. The pain of the headache immediately caused him to fall to the floor. "Tom, you ther-AHHHH" Eddie then began to have the same symptoms as Tom, and received the same fate as him. " Sleep well, friends"
Im not a human?!-Chapter 2: Im not a human?! "Hey! Wake up!" "......" "If you don't wake up, you're asking me to kick your butt!" "5, 4, 3, 2-" ".........The hell am I-AHH" Thomas had finally awoken. He winced as he felt someone kicked him in the stomach. And the answer to the pain was....a rainbow-haired pony with wings?! "C-calm down! Let's j-just relax", stuttered Tom, "W-who are you? W-where am-" Before Tom could finish, he noticed something: HE HAD NO HANDS. To make it even worse, he had no feet too. And he felt like he was floating above the ground. Regretfully, Tom looked down at the ground. He was standing on a cloud. "WHERE THE HELL ARE MY HANDS?!?!" he screamed, "AND WHY AM I FLOATING?!" "What are hands? Who are you?! And why are you in my house?", the pony asked. 'Alright, just calm down', thought Tom, 'Maybe this is a REALLY bad fever dream. Maybe if I go along with it, I might be able to wake up sooner. But then again, a kick like that to my stomach is no dream' "Listen", said Tom, "I don't mean to intrude. In fact, I don't even know where I am, so let's start over". "So, what's your name? Mine is Tom", he said, "And where am I? And what are you?!" "My name is Rainbow Dash!", exclaimed the pony, "The fastest pegasus in all of Equestria!" "Oh, you mean like in Greek myths?", asked Tom. "What's Greek?", asked Rainbow Dash " Well, I'll explain soon, but what is Equestria?", Tom asked "Its a land ruled by our princess, Celestia" Rainbow Dash explained, "I'll show you around this land." 'Maybe', thought Tom. 'This is god's way of giving me a new social life-no-life entirely! Maybe I'm better accepting my new life, living in a world of ponies!' As Rainbow Dash flew down from her cloud house, she disappeared from sight. Tom, uncomfortable for being alone in a new world, tried to find her without falling off the cloud. With this obstacle, Tom was also not accustomed to walking on all fours, resulting in him constantly falling down. "Five minutes into my new life and I can't even keep up with the others of my race", said Tom Another odd thing he noticed, was that he felt as if he had something on his sides, when he tried to adjust his new body, he felt something opening on him: Wings! Now he felt like he could catch up to rainbow dash. With little experience he had controlling these new found wings, Tom tried to fly, and was about to fall to his doom. " R-rainbow dash! H-help me!", Tom cried. But no one came. 'I guess this new life is over for me', Tom thought. He was about to embrace his fate, just as rainbow dash swooped him up. "Jeez, a Pegasus who can't fly", Rainbow said, upset, " What a cruel world for you" With anger, Tom exclaimed: " Hey! Shut up!" " I guess you don't need my help then....." " Ok, I'm sorry! D-don't let go" As they landed in a middle of a town, Tom noticed something: All the inhabitants were ponies. " What's this place called?", Tom asked. "Ponyville", replied Rainbow Dash. "Original....", muttered Tom, "This feels more like a trip than a fever dream...." "What did I here you say?!", said a defensive Rainbow Dash. " Nothing, nothing!", said a coward Tom. He didn't want to lose the only acquaintance he had, so he thought of something fast. "Have I ever told your eyes match your hair, beautifully might I mention?" With this said, Rainbow Dash' cheeks turned red. Rainbow Dash smiled with that thought in mind. "Really? Y-you think so?", opened up Rainbow, " Because you're not too bad looking yours-" Rainbow shook her head, realizing she had been smooth talked. "Look, please stop trying to hit on me, I don't think you're in my league..." With that said, Rainbow showed Tom around. *Meanwhile* "So, did he come here safely?" "Yes, he had woken up in the house of the loyal one". "Good, now check on him to make sure he is not of full potential". "Yes master".
introductions-Chapter 3 introductions "So, Rainbow Dash", Tom tried to make small talk, "What do you do for a living?" "I do stunts for the Wonder Bolts", replied Dash, "It doesn't pay much, but it's worth it, you know what I mean?" Tom just gave her a blank stare. "You DO know who the Wonder Bolts are, right?", inquired Rainbow. ". . . ." "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?", Dash exclaimed. "I come from a place really, really, far away from here", explained Tom. "I think...", he said under his breath. ' I don't know anymore...." "Figures", said Rainbow Dash, " You're a dork who can't fly and who doesn't know about the greatest aerial stunt team ever. And now I have to show you around town, according to Ponyville's Welcome Policy, Article 3, statute 7, subsection 304." "What..." Tom realized he'd just been called a dork. "Hey!", Tom glowered at Rainbow Dash. "Relax man, I'm just joking with you!", Rainbow Dash reassured him, lightly punching him on the shoulder, "Speaking of which, we're passing by a friend of mine who loves jokes." "Who's tha-" Before Tom could finish his sentence, he was bombarded with confetti. "WELCOME TO PONYVILLE!" exclaimed a pink pony. "WHATSYOURNAMEMYNAMEISPINKIEPIEILOVEPARTIESBECAUSETHEYRESOMUCHFUNANDYOURNEWHERESOIGOTTATHROWYOUAWELCOMEPARTY-" "HOW DO YOU BREATHE?!", exclaimed a riled-up Tom. "Like anyone else would, duh!", the pink pony said. "Well, what's your name?", Tom asked. "My name is Pinkie Pie", said the pink equine, " You're Tom, right?" Tom's heart skipped a beat. "Rainbow, how does she know my na-" "She knows everyone, Tom", replied Dash. "Come by SugarCube Corner later", said Pinkie Pie. " I'll host a welcome party there. All my friends will be there!" " Nice to m-meet you, Pinkie Pie", said a shaken Tom, extending a hand ('Hoof', he reminded himself', 'I don't have hands anymore'). "Awww, nice to meet you too Tom", said a touched Pinkie Pie, taking his one hoof in both of hers and giving three shakes. "See ya, Dashie!", said pinkie pie, as she trotted away, enthusiastically. "See you later, pinkster", replied Rainbow Dash. With that said, the duo moved onto their next stop: Carousel Boutique. ****************************************** "Dash, no offense, but your friend scares me", admitted Tom. "She's a nice mare once you get to know her", Rainbow Dash said, " My next friend is a 'fashionista' or whatever she calls herself." The two pegasi came to a shop with an interesting design on it. "Welp, this is it", said Rainbow Dash, "Might wanna be quiet, she might be working on a dress or something." The two gently opened the door, and found a little pony with a horn on its forehead (a unicorn, Tom deduced), sitting down, doing some paperwork. The little pony had a white and light purple mane, with white fur. "Hey Dash", asked Tom, "Who is that?" "That's my friend's younger sister, Sweetie Belle", answered Dash. "She's so cute, I'm getting diabetes!" "What?" "Never mind..." Tom walked over to the little filly. "'Hello there! What's your name?", asked Tom "My name is Sweetie Belle", the filly said, "I'm looking for my cutie mark in math!" "Cutie mark? What's that?", Tom asked. "It's when a pony discovers their own special talent", explained Sweetie Belle, talking slowly, like he was a small child (oh, the irony!). "What is your cutie mark supposed to be?" Sweetie Belle pointed at his posterior. On it was a tattoo of the World tarot card. "Erm, I guess I like cards?", Tom replied. "That's a weird talent...", said Sweetie Belle. Just at that moment a ringing sound was heard from the door. A white unicorn with a glossy violet mane had entered "Sweetie Belle!", said a voice. " I'm hom-" Just before she could go on any further, she was surprised to see two other ponies in her home. Rainbow Dash (odd, she didn't normally hang around here), and a right-swept haired, indigo furred pegasus. His eyes were brown, just like his hair. He didn't seem to focus on one thing. He seemed too anxious and too tense. 'What a charming stallion', thought Rarity "Hello there, darling, may I ask your name?", asked Rarity to Tom, in a seductive tone. "I'm Tom", Tom explained, "And you are? For a moment, Rarity cringed at the name of "Tom" for reasons she did not want to talk about. "Rarity," the unicorn introduced herself, "Where are you from, darling?" "The USA", said Tom, "It's really far away from here." "Interesting", said Rarity, "Tom, you must tell me more." "Oh, will you look at the time! Dash and I've gotta get going", he explained nervously. Tom tried to gallop but couldn't, being new to walking on all fours. Taking the hint, Rainbow Dash grabbed Tom by the arm and flew out of the boutique. "See ya, Rare!", said Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow Dash, you stallion stealer!" ********************************************* "Thanks for getting me out of there, Dash," said a gracious Tom. "No sweat!" said a pumped-up Rainbow Dash, "Hey, we should go to Twilight's house!" " Who's Twilight?" asked Tom. "Twilight Sparkle is the local nerd," a blunt Dash replied. "Isn't that a little harsh, especially if she's your friend?" remarked Tom. "You need to lighten up!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, " She's a unicorn that lives in a library. She's really smart, probably the smartest pony I know." "That DOES sound pretty nerdy. I mean, who lives in a library? I still think that was kinda mean, though," Tom said. "Oi", muttered Dash. "Hypocrite" * * * *At the library* * * * "She lives in a tree, that is also a library?" asked Tom, standing outside the library. The sodium-rich ironyhe thought to himself. "Wouldn't that be dangerous during a storm? Plus, how hasn't it rotted out yet?" a (once-again) confused Tom commented. "She has a lightning rod. As for the whole rotting-out thing...all I can say is, Twilight's really good at magic," said Rainbow Dash. "Actually, she's probably is one of the best there is." When the two pegasi entered the library, a creature could be seen on the far end of the library, standing over a pony. " Wahh!" shouted Tom, "There's a monster!" "Tom, wait!" yelled RD. Tom grabbed a nearby stick and placed it in his mouth, charging straight for the beast. With a whack on the head, the beast was seeing stars. "You idiot! That was Spike!" , Dash told him. "Who?" asked Tom. As Tom spoke, the monster belched green flames, burning the stick and singeing Tom's teeth. "YOW!!" Tom yelled in pain, teeth burning. "That'll teach you to hurt me," said the beast. With that said, the pony yawned and got up, revealing a unicorn with a dark purple mane with a red stripe and the same shade of purple fur. "*Yawn*, Spike, what's that commotion?", asked the half-asleep unicorn, "I dozed off while reading-again. I hope I didn't sleep too long again." "Some maniac tried to hit me. He's over there!" the tiny beast responded and pointed at Tom, making him look like the bad guy. The unicorn's eyes snapped all the way open and she teleported to Tom, pinning him to the floor. "NOBODY HURTS SPIKE!!" the pony shouted with a fire in her eyes that almost made Tom piss himself. "Twilight , he didn't mean it! He thought you were being attacked by Spike," explained Rainbow Dash. "Oh!" the fire dimmed and the pony helped Tom to his hooves. "Who are you?" asked the suspicious unicorn. "I'm Tom, a...an acquaintance of Rainbow Dash," Tom answered, " And you're Twilight Sparkle, if I'm not mistaken?" "Yes, indeed!" the unicorn beamed, "And that is my number one assistant, Spike the dragon!" Spike glared at Tom, rubbing the goose-egg bump where he'd been whacked. He was still not satisfied, and was waiting for an apology. "Hey man, I'm sorry," apologized Tom, "Look, I thought you were going to hurt her." "Are you kidding me?" said Spike, "Twilight raised me! She's the closest thing I have to a mother!" "I can relate. I haven't had a mom for a long while..." Tom said wistfully. "How do I know you're not lying?" asked Spike. In a straight and serious face, Tom coldly said, "She died in an accident." The whole room had turned quiet. Rainbow felt more concerned for Tom. Gee, if he would've told me sooner..... thought Dashie, But wait! I just met him! Grr, get ahold of yourself, Rainbow Dash! " Alright....I-I believe you...." Spike said, quietly. "Aight' man, we cool?" asked Tom. "........Yeah," said Spike. " Again, terrible apologies to the misfortunate event I caused," Tom apologized, this time to Twilight. "You're forgiven, just don't do anything like that again," said a much calmer Twilight. "Thank you, Miss Sparkle," Tom said as he and Rainbow Dash departed to their next destination: Sweet Apple Acres. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * As the two drew closer to the farm, Tom's galloping improved. He was even able to fly a few feet from the ground without face planting. "So, your friend's family works on the farm, huh?" Tom inquired. " Yeah," replied Rainbow Dash, " She makes a living off of it." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * In the distance, a orange furred, blonde-maned pony with a cowboy hat could be seen bucking apples off trees. 'Interesting way of retrieving apples from the tree...' thought Tom. " Ey' Rainbow Dash, " yells the cowpony, "Who's yer friend there?" " This is Tom, AJ," said Rainbow Dash, "He comes from USA, a place far from Equestria." "How do ya do,Tom?" the pony gave him a firm hoofshake, "Mah name is Applejack." "Nice to meet you Applejack," said Tom with a smile, "Who's that over there?" Tom pointed to a little red-headed filly not too far from the acres. "That there is mah sister, Applebloom. She's tryin' to get her cutie mark like always. That filly next to her is her friend, Scootaloo." "Where is her family?" he asked. "They're with the stars now....." Applejack took off her hat in respect. "Wow, I'm so sorry", said Tom. "Who's her caregiver?" "Her sister, Cherilee, the school teacher." "My word," Tom exclaimed. "Yeah, she sure has quite a hoofull, but she manages ta balance everythin' out pretty well." "Well, good luck on that apple bucking!" exclaims Rainbow Dash before flying off. "Well, I wish you, yours, and Scootaloo's good luck!" Tom said before running after Rainbow Dash. "Why thank y'all!" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Their final stop was Fluttershy's cottage, on the boarder of the EverFree forest. "Your friend's name is Fluttershy? What does she do?" Tom asked. "She takes care of animals," Rainbow Dash said, "She's very....shy." "What a twist," he muttered sarcastically. ***A Short While Later*** As the two made it closer to the cottage, a burning pain suddenly shot through Tom's skull, seeming to make him feel like he got tazed with a 400 watt stun gun. The pain had caused him to collapse to the ground. "Tom, are you alright?" a concerned Rainbow asked. "What's it matter to you?!" Tom snapped. "Well, because-" "It's because you think I'm playing the sympathy card. Well, you're wrong!" "Wow, you're pissed," Rainbow Dash said, surprised. "Well? Come on? Where's Fluttershy's cottage?", persisted Tom. "O-oh, yeah, I forgot." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *knock, knock* "Fluttershy! You there?" asked Rainbow Dash, knocking on a door again. "Rainbow Dash, is that you?" asked a meek voice. "Yeah! Can you let me in?" A pink-maned pegasus with yellow fur stepped out of the door. "Sure, how are yo- EEK!" the pegasus ran back inside. "Um, do I really look that bad?" asked Tom. "She's not used to other people, especially people that come to her house," explained Rainbow Dash, "I probably should have told her there was someone new with me." "She really is. . . . shy", Tom said, "Umm, let's see her later, at that welcoming party."
The Welcoming Party-Chapter 4: The Welcoming Party *****later that evening***** Tom and Rainbow Dash go to the welcoming party, held at sugarcube corner. While following Dash to the bakery, Tom realized one important, crucial, and essential thing in living in a environment: A home. "So rainbow, I, um-" " What?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Umm, if you don't mind and have the space, can I......c-can...I...." " Spit it out, already!", said an impatient Rainbow Dash. Tom then went on his forelegs and begged. "Please let me stay at your house!", cried Tom. "You're the only friend I have! I don't have a home, but I'll work for you! I'm good at cooking! Heck, I'll find a job ASAP!" " But I-" "Please?" "But- Tom then gave the saddest puppy-dog eyes that Rainbow Dash had ever seen. It could beat Fluttershy's pleading eyes in a contest. " *sigh*, fine", said Rainbow Dash. "But don't rub it in anyone else's face! I'll let you sleep in the spare room I never use. You'll be working for me tomorrow on, till' you can pay for your rent." Tom cried in gratitude with this said. "T-THANK YOU! ILL WORK MY HARDEST, MIO PADRONE!" " What?", asked a confused Rainbow Dash. " 'mio padrone! ' means 'my master' from my culture ", explained Tom " W-well, thanks for the support, my slave" blushed a corrected Dash. " We call servants: sono la tua cagna (I'm your bitch) , ", explained Tom. " Whatever. Sono lah tuah cawgna" "*Snicker*" *****sugarcube corner***** For a welcoming party, it was amazing for Tom. There was a DJ named Vinyl, a ton of treats and other junk that put a little weight on Tom, and even an alligator?! " Relax, Gummy won't hurt you", Pinkie Pie comforted Tom. " He doesn't have teeth to bite you anyway." "Ok, I trust you Pinkie." "Dashie, I take back what I said: Pinkie Pie is amazing!" " I know, right?", Rainbow Dash agreed. " She's an excellent jokester too!" " I can see that by the alligator....f*cker scared the heck out of me.", Tom muttered. In the back of Toms eye, he could see the Shy pegasus from earlier. Tom slowly approached her. "Hello", said Tom. " whats your name?" "Hello, I'm flutter shy", said the pegasus. " Im sorry, what was that?" The pegasus started to whimper. " dont cry!", asked Tom. Come on Tom, you moron!, Tom thought to himelf. What did dashie say about her interests? She liked animals, didn't she? Was that his conscious? "D-do you like animals?" ! Suddenly, the Pegasus had a gleeful expression on her "Did you say animals? I love animals! What's your favorite kind of animal?", said the super excited pegasus. "What's your name in the first place?", asked Tom. "Fluttershy, and you are?", asked the pegasus. " My name is Tom", replied Tom. "It is a pleasure to make your aquantaince." "Welcome to Ponyville, Tom", said a cheery Fluttershy. Tom and Fluttershy went on a whole conversation about animals. *****Later That Night***** " Yo applejack! Did'ja bring the cider like we said?", asked a impatient Rainbow Dash " Sure did!", replied Applejack. She loaded 10 six packs of cider on the floor, next to the table that she was sitting at. "Who wants to play truth or dare?", asked Rainbow Dash. With that said, bunch of ponies gathered around the table, ready to play. Rainbow Dash explained the rules to Tom: "For the newcomer: Here's how truth or dare works: You take a shot of Applejack's hard cider for every dare or truth asked. Keep going till' you pass out." "Yeah, can I just ask one question", asked Tom. " What's the legal age I can drink?" " do ya have your cutie mark?", asked rainbow dash "yeah" "then start playing!" Rainbow dash then grabbed a bottle of the (hard?) cider. She took a big swig of the drink and spun the bottle. The pony it landed on, was Fluttershy. "Oh dear....", said the threatened pegasus. "Truth or dare", asked Rainbow Dash. "Truth if you don't mind.....", answered Fluttershy. " Was it true that you killed a bear?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Twilight told me..." " Oh, that", understood fluttershy. " You see, I was giving it a massage, when twilight saw me." " Some massage , thought Tom. Fluttershy then took a guzzle of the bottle. Before she could spin the bottle, her face turned red and she passed out on the floor in exhaustion. "She couldn't even reach half the bottle", observed Rainbow Dash. "What. A. Shame." Rainbow Dash took the bottle and spun it for Fluttershy. The bottle landed on Tom. "Truth or dare", asked Rainbow Dash. Dammit thought Tom. It's bad enough I mentioned the death of mum'. Better choose a dare. "Alright, Rainbow". said Tom. " I'll take a dare". Rainbow Dash had a mischievous grin on her face. Shit , thought Tom. shit is going to go down! " I dare you to......" With the suspense of what the dare was, Rainbow Dash's grin grew wider, while Tom's face grew paler. " I dare you to eat this!" Rainbow Dash pulled out a rainbow frosted cupcake. "that's it?", asked Tom. "Just eating a cupcake?" "Yeah, its good", replied Rainbow Dash. " Me and pinkie pie made it". "Oh well. Easy. As. Pie." Tom then took a bite. With that, Tom felt a sensation in his mouth- a burning sensation. "YOWWWWWWW!!!!!!" Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash were on the floor, laughing hysterically. " Hot sauce always works", exclaimed Pinkie to Rainbow. Tom immediately turned towards the table, containing the bottle of cider. Before he could drink it, Rainbow yanked it away. " Not till' you finish the whole cupcake!", said Rainbow Dash. Tom then shoved the whole cupcake down his gullet. His whole throat felt like it was on fire. Tom then grabbed the bottle of cider, but found none inside the bottle. Applejack took out another bottle of cider. " Ere'", said Applejack. "Catch!" With that said, Tom caught the bottle and took a big swig of the alcohol. It had a "rusty and metallic taste to it", so Tom recognized it was definitely alcohol." Then Tom spun the bottle.... ********Lots of drinking later*************** A drunken Tom and Rainbow Dash had returned to Dash's house. "Ey' Rainbow! *hiccup* H-hey!"" said a drunken Tom. "*hiccup* What?", asked Rainbow Dash. " Ima tell all mah' friends, I slept at your place.", answered Tom. "S-shut up! You *hic* little h-horny bastard!" " Shut the *hic* up. At l-least I'm straight, you gay pride activist!" " You *hiccup* want straight?", asked Rainbow Dash. " I'll g-give you straight!" With that said, Rainbow reached over to Tom, and gave him a kiss. Her tongue swished in his mouth like a car wash. When she was done with him, she took out her mouth from his mouth, with drool dripping from Rainbow Dash's face. " T-that good enough for you, Tommy?", asked Rainbow Dash. Tom, with no strength left, collapsed on the floor. " Come on, let's go'ta sleep."
Getting a Job-Chapter 5: Getting a job "Come on! Wake up!", exclaimed a impatient Tom. ".......*groan*....... What?", moaned a tired Rainbow Dash, on her cloud bed. " I made pancakes. " Rainbow Dash immediately sprung out of the bed. " You said ' Pancakes'?! ", said Rainbow Dash. " You can cook?! " "Didn't I tell you?" said Tom." I can cook! Whatever. Just come into the kitchen." Before Tom could take a foot out to trot ( "Hoof! Gotta stop saying foot", said Tom), she raced into the kitchen. In it was breakfast heaven. Stacks of pancakes, drizzeled in syrup, sunnyside eggs ( Dashie's favorite), and corn muffins, were all on her table. Rainbow Dash had never seen a home-cooked breakfast this good since she was living with her family. This had caused her to tear up a little inside. "Well? Whaddaya' think?", asked Tom. " It might not be as good as I normally cook, because I don't have han- I mean cookbook, but I'd say I did a good job." " It's-it's-" "Well?!" "Amazing!", exclaimed Rainbow Dash. "Well, eat!", exclaimed Tom. " Tell me what you think of it. Try the pancakes." Rainbow Dash took a fork with her hooves. ( 'How do you do that without dropping it', thought Tom) She then proceeded to take a bite out of the pancakes. It felt like she tasted a bit of nirvana. " Faaa.......", muttered Dashie in awe. Tom watched this with a sigh of relief, knowing his landlord was pleased. "You know what kid," said Rainbow Dash. " You've done good...." *****************After a big breakfast***************** " Whelp, I gotta find a job", Tom said to Rainbow Dash. "Well, I maybe I can help you find one." happily replied Rainbow Dash. "After all, you did make me pancakes." " Yeah, well now I owe you more.", muttered Tom. " So what jobs do you recommend?" " Well, you could work for twilight", suggested Rainbow Dash " But after what you did, she might not give you any money." Tom walked towards the front door of Dash's house. " Well, I'll go check to see if she'll let me." said Tom. " See ya Dashie!" " See you Marino-Hanojo!" ***At the library*** " So, let me get this straight", said Twilight. " After beating my assistant with a stick, and sneaking into my library, you expect me to pay you for manual labor in which you owe me?" Tom once again went onto his knees, and pleaded with puppy-dog eyes. " 'Pwease'? ", begged Tom. " Grr, alright!", said Twilight. " But you are going to work-to the bone!" Tom, with this said, gulped. "Follow me", said Twilight. With that said, Tom followed Twilight next to some shelves. There was a humongous amount of books on the shelves. " You see all these books?", asked Twilight. "Yes", replied Tom. With the response, a purple aura had surrounded her horn. Simultaneously, the books on the shelf received a purple aura. Then, all the books fell on the ground. "Re-arrange these in alphabetical order.", said Twilight. " Report back to me when you are done." With that said, Twilight went up to the second floor of the library and began to read a book, entitled "Fallout Equestria". Spike then came out from up-stairs with a bucket of popcorn and a cup of cola in his hands. "This is going to be so hilarious!" said Spike. " You, work to the bone while I watch." "Hey, I thought we were cool, man!" " So what?", asked Spike. "You still owe me. By the way, what's a man?" " I'll explain when I'm done with this re-shelving business!" ***several hours later*** Tom had finished reshelving all the books. He even dusted the books and the shelves. "Hey Twilight", Tom called out from the library. " I finished re-shelving all your books!" Twilight trotted down the stairs to her library. "Impressive", she said, admiring the dusted book shelf. "I will give you 20 bits for working hard" "What are bits?", asked a confused Tom. "Have you been living under a rock!?" exclaimed Twilight. "It's basic currency!" "I am new here", Tom said, "I told you, I came from a different country" "Just go before I change my mind", said an annoyed twilight. Tom, unhesitant, took the money from twilight. "Have a Good night, Miss Sparkle." *********** As Tom was walking home to Rainbow Dash's house, Tom heard a familiar voice in a near alleyway. "Just tell me already! Who are you and where are we?" A earth pony was holding a small filly in a stripped shirt ("Why is this pony wearing a stripped shirt?",Tom said, under his breath). "Eddie?" "Tom?"
Old Friends n' New Enemies-chapter 6 old friends n' new enemies. Tom stared blankly at the red maned, brown skinned, earth pony, as the small horse trotted away timidly. " E-Eddie? Is that you?!", demanded Tom. " I don't f*cking know!", an angry Eddie yelled. " F*ck is with the ponies man?!" " Look, Eddie, it's kinda' hard to explain: We're in a world with unicorns and god damn flying ponies. I CANNOT stress how much crazier that can get. A-and you were beating on a child-horse-thing? What is with you? That is not like you!" "That child apparently f*cked us over", explained Eddie. " I was trying to interrogate the POS, but you had to drop in, like a bomb." " Dammit! Why can't I do anything right?!" " Look, man. Chill out. You. Me. We are apparently Dr. Who's here." " What do you mean 'Dr. Who's' ?", asked Tom. " We can reincarnate into any universe, form, or dimension we want to. We're gods! That's what that kid told me so far." " That explains the crossover here", realized Tom. "But how did we exactly cross over to this dimension?" "I thought that I would let you make some new friends here. You know, since you two only had each other" ! ! Both Eddie and Tom jerked their heads around to see the same small boy Eddie was "interrogating" moments before. The small filly slowly morphed into a small human boy, with bright, blue eyes, dark, blue hair, and a black and white stripped shirt with grey sandals with blue straps. The boy had a innocent look of a child on his face. "Finally nice to meet you two in person", said the boy. "Heh, heh, get it? Because I'm in my human form and you two are equ-" " Cut the crap", interrupted Eddie. " Tell us who you are!" "Fine, I will be more serious, 'Edison Organde'!" Before Eddie could charge at the boy, Tom restrained him. "Boy, calm your ass!", barked Tom. He then looked at the boy. "Sorry for my friend, he is....different", Tom apologized. "But, I must side with Eddie. Who are you, and why did you bring us here?" "Fine, I will both tell you why I dragged you here" "My job", explained the boy. " as Pharos, the demi-god of hell, is to ensure loose souls do not escape from hell. If loose souls are unable to return to hell, then I have to owe the god of heaven, favors. You two, were experiments similar to living TARDIS's-" "But how do you know about doctor who-" "SILENCE!!!", exclaimed Pharos, in a loud booming voice that could be heard from miles away. "As I was saying: You two were like living TARDIS': You could travel wherever at whatever point in time. You both were unstable, unfortunately: both mentally, and emotionally. So we killed you in the mean time. Once the god of heaven found a way to keep you both stablized, he asked me for two favors: To bring back the white one, and to bring back the hispanic one. It would take 14 years to keep your powers sedated. Once you hit 14 years of age, I would give you the little boost you needed to discovering your powers. However, I was a bit late to the party, and was tracking two loose souls for almost a year and a half. Those two souls were the two favors I owed from god. I thought I would make these your best 2 days before I killed you by sending you to a place where friends are waiting to be acquainted with." Pharos then materialized a scythe from thin air. "Now its time to return the favor" "C-cant we get a second chance or something like that?", Eddie asked, slowly backing away from the demi-god. "We want to remember those we loved. C-couldn't w-we show you what we got? I-I mean, we are magical creatures!" Dear god, did I really say that?, Eddie thought to himself . . . "Fine, you have one, full day/24 hours to prepare to fight me. That is the only way you're going to prove to me that your lives are worth living. Fail me, and I will drag you both to hell along with this world!" Tom and Eddie's faces grew paler than ghosts after being told the ordeal. "I will be waiting for you in celestia's castle", said Pharos. "You mean the ruler?", remembered Tom. "M-mind telling us where it exactly is?" Pharos pointed to the direction of a castle along a mountain. "Ask Twilight for anymore information", suggested Pharos. "She is her most prized pupil." "How do you know-" "I know everything." And with that, Pharos vanished in thin air. Eddie, afterwards, smiled sheepishly at Tom, who had a very stern look on his face. Suddenly, the main six came running to the alleyway, alerted to the loud voice heard from miles away. "What in the name of Celestia happened?", exclaimed Twilight. "Yeah!", demanded Rainbow Dash. "What the hell just happened?" ". . .Eddie just screwed the world", Tom said. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *At twilight's treehouse* "So what do we do now", asked Tom to Eddie. "We are going to die trying to kill a god. And even if we die, we're going to hell along with this world." Twilight, grew more impatient while asking the constant question: "What happened out there?!" Angrily, Eddie lashed out at Tom. "Well, maybe, if you would've turned off that god damn privacy option, we wouldn't be in so much trouble!" "Oh and what would that do?", exclaimed Tom. "Stop him from coming?!-Like a mother-fucking light-night in a child's bedroom?! You don't fucking get it: He would come and kill us anyway!" "Now, for the last time!", exclaimed Twilight. "What happened out-" "Shut the fuck up!", exclaimed the two boys. "Gah! I've had it with this bullshit!", exclaimed Eddie, as he galloped out the door of the library. Tom then faced his attention to Twilight. "You! You want answers, I'll give you some mother fucking answers!" Tom told everything to Twilight: His origins, abilities Pharos, and that the world would go down with them if they lost the battle with Pharos. "WE'RE ALL GOING TO HELL?!?!", screamed Twilight. "Yeah! And their ain't nothing we can do about it.", Tom said. "I'm. . .I'm sorry." In another rage, twilight's eyes were dead set on killing Tom- leaving no mercy. She jumped onto him as she immediately began to punch him, senselessly. This continued for a moment, until Tom started to bleed from his nose. "WAIT! ! ! !", yelled Tom. Twilight immediately stopped attacking to listen to him. "Do you have an armory- anywhere? Because I can kill if you have anything of use for me. Maybe if we use your magic, and me and eddie's abilities, we can take down Pharos." "Well, the princess did load me up with various metal works, and other equipment", suggested Twilight, as she lifted Tom up. "That is all I need. . .", Tom said with a gleeful look in his eyes. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Tom trotted with twilight to the corner of her library. At the corner's wall, was an almost jarring patch of wood. Twilight then proceeded to push the patch with her hoof. The wall revealed a huge wall of katanas, machetes, armor, ninja stars, and other iron works. What struck Tom's eyes was a gun rack. The guns' handles were noticeably larger than most guns. Figures, Thought Tom. With hooves, you need more room to fit your hand-er hoof, in the trigger. The wall was rigged with a variety of revolvers, shotguns, and rifles. "Wait a sec' ", said Tom. "How do ponies use revolvers if they don't have hands to hold it steadily?" "Hands? What are those?" "Bitch, do you listen?", said Tom. "They're basically claws!" "Well I'm sorry. In our world, the first thing that we pay dearly attention to IS THAT THE MOTHER-BUCKING WORLD IS GOING TO BE DESTROYED!", barked Twilight. "Well, we might have a chance at saving it.", said Tom, as he held a Remington Model 870. However what was no forestock, but a small compartment to pump the shotgun. He remembered the days of playing Black Ops 2 as he pumped the gun. Now I get to fire this like in those games, Tom thought to himself. Dad would never let me handle this shit. "Are you all set?", asked a impatient Twilight. "Locked and Loaded", replied Tom. "Now all I gotta' do is find. . . .Eddie"
Searching for Old Friends-Chapter 7: Searching for Old Friends Tom dashed out of the library, with a backpack filled with guns, metal works, and other weapons that would most likely aid in his quest to help stop Equestria's destruction. But the real problem was to find Eddie. HE would aid in his help protecting Equestria. HE was the other unhuman being that God created. HE was Tom's only friend. A young boy is pummeled to the concrete floor of a playground, as 3 teens are bullying him. " Admit it, you mother fucker! You like dicks. Maybe we'll go easy on you if you admit it", said the tallest of the three kids. "N-no!", said the young man, whimpered. " I have my pride!" The second tallest boy of the group, kicked the boy in his crotch. He started to tear up as the foot pounded into his testicles. " Well, I guess you're ready for round three, then.", he chuckled, not after spitting into the boys eyes. The smallest of the group, elbowed the boy into his chest- *hard*. The young boy let out a low howl as he was merciless to the three troublemakers. " Final chance, bitch!", rasped the smallest one. " N-n-no", cried the young man. He coughed up a trickle of blood as he stood up, from his beat down. The tallest teen of the group kicked him back down to the floor. He readied his foot to smash the young man's head. " Any last words, before I kill you?", said the teen, with a shit eating grin. "How's about you fuck off, before *I** finish you figlio di puttana (mother fuckers) off?"* Out of a nearby slide, emerged a pale young boy, who was reasonably taller than the other boy, but shorter than the tallest teenager of the group. " Who the *fuck** are you?", asked the smallest teenager in the group.* "No need for explanation", said the boy. "Just leave the kid alone, or I'll give you idiota (assholes) something to bitch about". The teens just laughed like hyenas. "*chuckle* And what are *you** going to do about it?", asked the second tallest teen.* Suddenly, the young man pulled out a silenced handgun from his pocket. " Well, I stolen your fucking weapon." He shot the gun three times in the air. The three teenagers raised their hands in a similar fashion to a stickup. " Look man", said the second eldest. " We'll leave, and never say anything about this. I have a mother to look after!" " Then go make her proud", said the pale young man. " *And fuck off!*" The three boys ran off as soon as he finished the sentence. The pale boy turned to the kid, who was terrified at what he witnessed. " Do you need some help?" asked the pale boy, extending a hand. The boy hesitated. "Relax, I don't bite." The boy grasped onto his hand and pulled himself up. " Thanks", said the boy to the young, pale man. " My name is Eddie. What's yours?" The young man smiled. " The name's Tom. I hope we can become better friends." Tom reminisced about the first time he met Eddie. He remembered the first time he ever held a pistol. Those were the good days. Tom searched high and low for Eddie. He searched all of Ponyville, asking them if they knew the whereabouts of Eddie. He searched Sweet Apple Acres ("Sorry, aw' ain't seen this "Eddie" folk yer describing", said Applejack). He searched Carousel Boutique ("I'd do anything for you, Tom. Unfortunately, I haven't had a customer all day. I'll tell you if I seen him.", Rarity told him.). He searched Sugar Cube Corner ("Sorry haven't seen him here before: ever!", exclaimed Pinkie Pie). He checked fluttershy's cottage ( "Umm, very, very sorry. I haven't seen this Eddie stallion you've described to me. If I see him, I'll tell you", said Fluttershy). He even checked with Rainbow Dash if she knew where he was ( "Sounds like a cool dude. Look, me and the wonder bolts will search the skies for him", offered Rainbow Dash.). Where could he be? Tom, about ready to give up, sat on a bench. He was about to give up the search for Eddie, until: " What's the matter, chap?", asked a stallion next to him. He had brown fur over a brown mane. His cutie mark, was a hourglass. " Man, I felt like I screwed up everything. My best friend is gone missing, and I've screwed up: big time.", he said, depressingly. " Well, it could always be worse in the end. Besides: there is always tomorrow. Always believe in faith." . . . " You know what? You have a point: So what if my friend is missing? So what if I fucked over Equestria? I don't care, because I'm going to fix it all!" "That's the spirit- WAIT A BLOODY SECOND! WHAT WAS THAT LAST LINE?!" " Thanks mister", said Tom as he shook the stallion's hoof, oblivious to his previous question. " I'm going to save the world!" " Tom!", yelled Rainbow Dash from the clouds. " I think we found Eddie!" Tom was gleeful at this. He bolted from the ground, to the sky. " Well, where is he?" * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Eddie looked depressed at the sunset that laid between him,a nice view of Ponyville and a 500 foot deep cliff that would lead to his demise. Before even preparing to jump in, he threw a rock in the abyss. He listened closely for the rock to hit to the bottom of the cliff. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Ping! It took a total of 30 seconds for the rock to hit the ground. It should be enough to kill me, thought Eddie. "Well, mom, I'm sorry I wasn't able to go to Harvard! I'll always remember you when I'm dead!" Eddie leaped straight into the canyon. Everything he loved, will only be a memory, once he burns in hell. He closed his eyes, and embraced death. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Why wasn't he dead? Eddie opened his eyes, only to reveal that a pegasus was carrying him: Tom, to be exact. " T-Tom!
