My Little Pony Family Is Love

Chapter 1 part 2

“Sorry, for taking so long… I couldn’t find my saddle bag.” Star mumbled as she walked with the two colts down a road.

“It`s fine!” Specialty said happily, “It takes me forever to find things sometimes!” he smiled goofily.

“Uhh, yeah! Um HEY!” Ink Brush finally yelled out, causing Star to jump and Specialty to trip. Ink Brush tuned a deep shade of red and looked at the ground. “U-uh, I was working on something and since you are a girl…. A-and it`s girly, could maybe be…. model it for me…? P-please! YOU HAVE THE PERFECT BODY FOR IT!!!” He screeched in the fillies face.

“Wha-what?!” Star yelped in confusion, stepping back a bit. Suddenly Specialty jumped in between them.

“Inkie means he made some dresses. But no one will model them for him. He was wondering if you could help. Hey, maybe we could all play dress up!” the albino unicorn suggested, with a nervous, yet happy smile.  Star and Ink stared at him for a moment.

“Id like… that. I mean, if you really want me too! Im not a good model and I dont think Id be that helpful! But if its what you want. I-Im sorry I`ll stop talking!” Star cried out, tears clouded her eyes. Specialty suddenly stopped, looking very alarmed.

“No, no, no! Star you have it all wrong! You shouldn’t say those things about yourself! Everyone deserves to do something they like!” he said franticly, waving his hooves in the air. He pulled Ink and Star into a big bear hug.  “See? We`re all friends here! No need for the waterworks!”

“A-ah, Specialty … everypony`s staring….” Ink mumbled, the three were now quite aware of the fact that many stuffy upper class Canterlot ponies were indeed staring.

“Maybe we should just get going….” Star shyly suggested. The others nodded and quickly ran away.

Star stared, mouth agape as she looked at Inks room, it was huge. The room had fancy knickknacks all around and clothing and design tools scattered around. Inks bed was covered by fabric.

“I`s a little… messy….” Specialty said slowly, Star nodded.

“S-sorry, I tend to throw my things everywhere when I`m working. “ Ink said, rubbing the back of his head.

“Its ok buddy! Well just clean it up!” Specialty said enthusiastically. Star nodded.  “Now Let`s clean!” he yelled and threw some cleaning supplies at the others.

“H-how did you get these?!” Star asked, but then Specialty shushed her.

“Shush, shush. Don’t ask questions about these things Starry!” he whispered in her ear.

As they stood there, admiring their work on the now spotless room. They flopped to the floor, utterly exhausted.

“Nugghhh, we were going to play dress up. But we got all tired out from cleaning…” Ink mumbled, he was covered in cleaning supplies.

“Nice way to state the obvious…” Star hissed, tiredly but bitterly.  “Hey, Specialty, how come you didn’t sing… isn’t that your thing?” she asked.

“The… writer… ran… out…. Of… ideas….” The white colt mumbled half-heartedly.  Star and Ink stared at him confusingly, but were too tired to ask him what he meant.

“Hey, it was kinda fun!” Ink said shyly. The others nodded. Specialty laughed loudly, but then he stopped. He looked like he had discovered something mind blowing.

“Oh. MY. Celestia.” He said slowly, but in short gasps.  Ink and Star jumped up.

“What is it? What is it?!” They asked franticly and worriedly over and over.

“We…. Were… were all….” Specialty said slowly, then he sucked in a deep breath of air. “ALL BLANK FLANKS!” He screamed with all his might. Star stumbled back and Ink nearly fainted.

“S-so?! Also, You JUST noticed that?!” Star screamed back.

“Wait, that means… We can be like the Cutie Mark Cru-” Ink began.

“Captors.” Specialty cut in.

“What?”

“Cutie Mark Captors. We can`t have any copyright infringements.” He said, dead seriously.  Ink and Star once again stared at him.

“Sure…” They both said slowly. Slowly, as they stared at each other, they broke into fits of laughter one by one, falling to the ground, hooves flailing in the air, and holding their stomachs. Slowly the laughter died down and the three unicorns stared at each other. They were now well aware with how silly they looked. Specialty had glue and fabric paint staining his fur and mane. Star was all wet from the soupy water and smelt like citrus. Finally Ink had glitter and pieces of fabric stuck to him. The three almost burst into giggles again.

“Yeah, we`re the Cutie Mark Captors. The CMC.” Star said with childish joy.

“This means we`re friends, right?” Ink asked, confused.

“Of course! We`ll be the best friends in all of Canterl- no all of Equestria!” Specialty exclaimed gleefully. Star and Ink shouted in agreement, nodding their heads.

“Wait, what time is it…?” Star asked, as she looked out one of the stain glass windows in Ink Bushes room.

“Um…” Ink Bush got up and looked at the clock by his bed side. “It`s 6:00 P.M.” He answered her. “W-why?”

“Oh… already…? I-Im sorry, I think its time I went home guys… sorry…” She said, looking sad as she rubbed the back of her head.

“Aww…” Both colts whined.

“I guess I better go too… Ill see you guys soon… But its ok! Let`s hang out again tomorrow, and then again, again and again!” Specialty said happily in a sing-song voice, skipping around and giggling happily.

“I don`t think I can do t-that….” Star mumbled. “My parents might not let me…”

“Awwwww!” Specialty wailed in mock agony, flopping to the ground and flailing around. “You gotta come back! You gotta!” He begged.

“I-I will! I will!” Star answered, giggling slightly at the albino colts antics. “A-anways! I have to go! B-bye!” she yelled out, running out of the room and out of Inks house. The two colts waved at her from the window as she ran off.

As Star walked down one of the more shady roads of Canterlot, the night moon was peeking was out of the edge of sky she heard something. It sounded like… sizzling… no, static? Whatever it was Star also heard an ever so faint and weak cry.

“S-system fa-KARZZZZZZZZ” the plea was drowned out by a sudden ear blasting boom of static shock, Star jumped back and screamed. As the awful noise died down, she carefully walked to follow the sound with shaky hooves. Following the slight static sounds she was lead to a corner in a dirty, trash filled corner of a alleyway. What she found, shocked her more than anything.

“P-please…..help….me….”
