From Dusk Til...Ponies?

Chapter 4:

Onward and Upward?

----The Next Day----

I dodged the nerf darts being fired at me. In hindsight suggesting a nerf battle with Jacob probably wasn't a good idea. Everytime I thought I saw him would just up and vanish. I mean how unfair is that? I swear he got insane logic defying abilties during this type of thing. At least I had the advantage of wings. Justin had already been taken out and was covered in nerf darts and branches. I glided slightly above the trees when suddenly I was nailed in the forehead by a dart.

"I win!"

I groaned. "Again?"

I turned to Envy and Justin would had finally managed to get himself cleaned. Envy, meanwhile, was still pecking at the keyboard. I had tried to mention that hooves would make typing hard but instead I was ignored by my daughter. Er, friend. I think Icy's bleeding through.

"Envy. Use a pencil for Faust's sake."

"No. It's demeaning."

Demeaning? Are you serious? Justin and had been turned into female ponies alright? I think I know what's demeaning.

"Fine. Good luck fixing all those typos."

I should probably mention that I had found a program that would type what you said to it, but, due to an incident the day before, I neglected to mention it. Either way those typos would eventually cause a rage quit. I turned to Justin.

"Feeling better?" I said, grinning. I didn't say who took Justin out, did I?

"Yes, just don' shoot me while I'm in a tree next time, ok?"

"Of course."

I believe that was when we were greeted by a group of small children. The children flocked to me as I was the biggest of us, Justin was a few inches smaller and Envy, well, Envy was more of petting size. I smiled.

"Hey there kiddos! I'm Icy Rain! Can anyone of you kiddies guess what I am?"

"A pony!" came the shout of a little kid.

"Can we get rides?" came another.

"Sure," I said, "just ask the mummies and daddies of yours!"

The kids ran off and I turned to Jacob. "One word of this and I will make sure I'm personally responsible for the end of your life."

"Alright, alright."

The kids ran back, "I can!"

"Me too!"

"My mommy said it was okay."

There came at least a dozen other shouts from different kids.

"Ok, ok, line up!"

----Some Time Later----

I finished giving the kids rides and the parents were chatting up Jacob. Envy had returned to the car and was still tapping away while Justin had "maliciously tortured" by the kids. I honestly would have used those words for his situation seeing as though the kids who had gotten rides had ran over to him and were hugging and squeezing him. I swear when the kids finally left Justin's coat had turned a deep blue.

Jacob came back over after a few more moments and motioned for my attention. Curious, I trotted over.

"Hey Josh, the parents said that some sort of anti-pony grouped formed here."

"Seriously?" I honestly wasn't surprised. It was a very likely action considering how the human race had a tendency to hate the unknown.

"Ya. They gave us some money for food but suggested we leave soon," he answered. I nodded. Better to be safe than sorry.

I hoped into the car along with Jacob and Justin and we headed off towards the nearby Wendy's. We entered and ordered but we took far longer than anticipated. By the time we were leaving Envy had fallen asleep and Justin was nodding off as well so Jacob carried Justin and I grabbed Envy. We jumped back in the car and went to the closest hotel to sleep for a time. It took me a bit but quite soon after Jacob was out so was I.

The Next Morning

I woke up and groaned. It felt like I had been hit by a bus or something. I opened my eyes and saw a metal bolted door. What the hell, where am I? I looked around the plain room. It was comprised of a bed, woolen blanket, and a very dirty pillow. it was pretty homely. I continued to look before the door opened and a man stepped in.

"So... It would seem that you're trapped wouldn't it," he said holding up 3 fingers and counting down as the door shut.

As soon as it shut I grinned.

"Nice work Jacob," I said.

He grinned back, "They're pretty stupid, when they came in and I had you slung over my shoulder they didn't even check the room for anyone else. That and they sound proofed the room with no cameras. So they think I'm in here interrogating you."

I laughed. "You're kidding?"

"Nope."

"Wow." I whistled.

"So, time to go?"

"You bet," I responded.

He banged on the door and they opened it.

"You get the Info?" asked the fat one.

"Course," Jacob said.

"What'd it say?" asked the pimply one.

"She was heading North-east to meet up with some other ponies," he responded.

"More ponies to grab, sweet." They grabbed me and hung me over the fat one's shoulder. Ew. Crusty food covered his back. They opened the door and made for the car. I kicked the fat one.

"Fatone, what are you doing?" asked the pimply one after Fatone dropped me. I giggled, not a good moment for it, but hey, his name really was fat one. Jacob grabbed the pimply one while I grabbed some fog and yelled out "Cloud Gatling Gun!" as I launched mini-thunderclouds at them. This is why I wasn't mad about being a Pegasus. I can make a bucking Cloud Gatling Gun. Why? Because pegasi magic. Even though I can only launch 4 or 5 mini-clouds. Meh. Jacob dropped the pimply one and we ran off.

I grinned. "Told ya it'd be fun."
