A Curious Tale

"I feel like I forgot something" Quinn said as we walked. I shook my head and sighed.

"Ya know, that really just doesn't surprise me, by now" I say with an amused tone of voice.

Ditzy laughs at both of us "I don't understand how you two aren't related, you've been talking like brothers, or maybe close cousins" me, and Quinn look at each other for a second, then both laugh at her mentioning of that. Ditzy gets this beautifully confused look on her face, then shrugs as we continue to walk on.

We're just about to get to the train station when I hear someone yell "Starry! How dare you forget me!" Quinn's eyes went as wide as dinner plates.

"I just remembered what I forgot" he said a little scared.

"Dually noted, so what" I say wall rolling my eyes.

"So run" all three of us start running, as I start to hear the sound of hooves, and...paw pads? I decide that I'm brave enough, and turn around to see not only a magenta pony, but also a fucking draconaquess!

I turn to run faster until I notice my legs aren't moving, I'm not moving, I can't move, I've been frozen in place.

"Thank you for stopping, now how on earth did you forget tea time with my...dau...ghter...Derpy Hoov-" he was cut off.

"that's not my name anymore, I'm Ditzy Doo now, father" her eyes were narrow" and if you're here for your offer you can forget it, my answer is still, and always will be, no" she says pretty damn angrily.

"No, the offer is down, I'm reformed nor, have been for years, that aside I want to talk to Star here" he gestures to Quinn and walks up to him, and whisper inaudibly into his ear.

He does that for about a minute , then backs away , and pops out of existence, we're all unfrozen, and Quinn's eyes brighten "well Screwy , it looks like not only are we moving to Ponyville, but we're also gonna be roomies!" he says excitedly.

I turn to see the magenta pony that was chasing us suddenly go from angry to excited "yay this'll be sooo fun, I'll go pack my things" a suit case pops into existence. "yay, all done, now c'mon or we'll miss the train" she says as if nothing unordinary happened, then proceeds to hum the tune that...that...that...Ditzy hummed...as we left her house. I mumble a few questionable words that I'm not putting in my journal, at this time, as she starts to bound her way to the train station.

"How old is she" I ask as we continue to trot.

"Twenty-two in six days, why do you ask" he questions as if he doesn't see the bounding magenta spring of adorable in front of us.

"...nothing, never mind" I sigh realizing I'm the only one who isn't oblivious the four year old in an adults body.

we're just about to reach the train station, finally home free, when what do ya know, another problem occurs, an azure, problem.

"Well hello friend, come to see me again, I see" he smiles...er menacingly... I think, he then laughs "you actually thought we were gonna fight again didn't you" I shrug and give a sheepish grin "I was actually coming to see you off, and say that, if you ever happen to come by Canterlot again, come see me, I'll help you around" wait, wait what why would he help me?

"But, why help me" in an all to cliché way.

"Because not many ponies think to hit me before it gets out of hoof" he chuckles a bit then continues "just remember, if you ever need me, just look for an orange sign on the ground outside of any alley, I'll be there, under most circumstances" he says emphasizing the word most "well I guess I'll be seeing you" he then proceeds to trot.

"Why are you three taking so long, I already got us train tickets" the magenta pony says in a hurried voice.

"yeah well I still haven't caught your name ya know" I say wall, again rolling my eyes.

"My name's Screwball" she says excitedly.

"Well Screwball, I think it's high time we head home"
