Origin of Eggheadby Wrangle WolfeChaptersPAIPTwilight Sparkle, a purple alicorn with a love for books, looked at the current book that she was levitating with disdain. This is why she hated re-shelving the books without Spike. The book always opened old scars. It was titled 'Star Swirl the Bearded's Encyclopedia of Magic' and while it was the first Star Swirl book she had to enjoy, it was also a part of a horrible memory that she'd never get over. “LOOK OUT BELOW!!!” A somewhat feminine voice rang out before a rainbow blur crashed into her from the window. “RAINBOW DASH! What did I tell you about coming through the window?” The alicorn scolded. “To not do it?” The blue mare half asked. Twilight just glared at her. “Right, so what egghead thing were you up to before I interrupted like a boss?” The Pegasus asked with a cocky grin. “Re-shelving the books...” Twilight said, not hiding her irritation in her voice. “Can I help?” Rainbow asked. “Are you sure you want to do that? It's a very complex procedure including—“ “Never mind, jeeze.” Dash interrupted, not caring about what was coming next. “And stop calling me ‘Egghead’” Twilight demanded. “What’s wrong with that name? I think it’s cool!” “Well I DON’T!” Twilight yelled in her friend’s face and shoved her into the book shelf. Rainbow Dash slammed against the shelf with a ‘thud’ and ‘oof’, the surprise knocking the wind out of her. Twilight remained in her position, glaring daggers at the rainbow maned mare, tears threatening to spill at any moment. Rainbow Dash sat up, dizzy and in pain. She felt something warm on the back of her head. After putting her hoof on the warm spot and looking at it, Rainbow’s eyes widened. Blood coated her hoof. She looked at Twilight in shock and disbelief. Something was REALLY wrong with her friend… and she intended to find out. “Twilight… w-what’s wrong?” she asked with deep concern in her voice. “I don’t… I don’t want… to talk about it.” Twilight whispered, tears falling down her cheeks. “Twilight… listen. It’s bad to not tell anypony what bothers you. I know that from experience. You know you can tell me anything because I’m your friend. It’s my job to be there when one of my friends are down, because that’s what friends do. That… that’s what you taught me.” The Pegasus told her, hugging the purple mare in the process. “Let’s go sit down and talk about it.” Rainbow led her to the couch in the library. Twilight sat there for a moment, trying to calm herself down. Rainbow hugged her a little tighter and waited with a patience Twilight had never seen before in her life. After managing to breathe steadily, she began her story. “It started when I was in third grade…” A filly Twilight walked happily with her brother to school, bouncing in excitement. She always loved going to school in the morning, and was always on time every single day. She had perfect attendance, always making sure nopony knew when she was sick, and going straight into class instead of hanging out in the hallway like a lot of ponies did. “Twily, you’re always so excited to go to school. I wish I was that happy to sit in class!” Her brother, Shining Armor commented. “I’m not excited about school; I’m excited about the library!” She exclaimed. “Ah, you’re just a little bookworm aren’t ya?” He chuckled, ruffling up her mane a bit. Twilight giggled happily and parted ways with her B.B.B.F.F when they entered the school. Shining Armor also attended Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns in hopes of being a Royal Guard. He didn’t even expect his role to be that big, maybe a throne room guard or an entrance guard. Nothing too special. The purple filly went into her classroom to her desk, which was in the back of the classroom, and pulled out her materials. Her materials were actually books, a paper and a pencil for taking down notes… about her books. She never talked to anypony or acknowledged them, only speaking to answer a question if called on by the teacher. All of her free time was spent in the library, where nopony visited often. The librarian would just sleep, and Twilight’s name would already be put down on the check out list for 20 books. It was a cycle to never be broken until… “Yo, egghead! What’cha doin’?” A colt’s voice rang out from in front of her. “Reading…” Twilight stated flatly, ignoring the little colt. “Ugh, I told ya she was an egghead. She might be smart with them books, but she ain’t smart with her looks. She don’t even know how to have a friend! Shows how smart she is!” The colt yelled to his buddy on his left. “Heh, you’re right! Let’s show her what we do with eggheads.” The other colt snorted as he knocked her book down to the ground. “HEY!” She said as she finally truly noticed the two colts. One of them was a black pegasus with a spiky orange mane, his cutie mark being a solar eclipse that she could’ve sworn it shined a little. The other colt was a chubby unicorn with brown fur and a black mane, his hazel/green eyes glaring mischievously at the purple unicorn. “What’s wrong? Did we offend ya? Sorry, I’ll pick that up for ya.” The pegasus said and levitated the book up smacking her face in the process. She looked at the pegasus in disbelief. Not only because he smacked her in the face with her heavy hardcover book, but because... he was a PEGASUS and he LEVITATED her book. How was that even possible? He must have figured out what she was thinking and groaned. “I would’ve thought you and your Celestia damned books would teach you about pegacorns! Pegacorns are a rare race that has unicorn and pegasus traits so…yeah. You are dumber than I thought! You’d think with all of that reading, you’d know an obvious fact like that!” He said cruelly. Twilight didn’t know what to say, she just whimpered and started to cry. But she would soon learn that crying was a bad idea. And that trusting bullies was a VERY bad idea. Where was the teacher when you needed one? “Aye, no crying now. We ain’t mean nothin’,” the brown colt patted the purple filly on her back. “How about we go out and talk about it?” The naive Twilight nodded her head and the two colts led her out the classroom and to the bathroom (multi gender). They then started laughing cruelly, asking how she was dumb enough to trust them. They then grinned evilly at the poor bookworm. “So, like I said, we’ll show ya what we do ta Eggheads.” The pegacorn chuckled. And that’s when the pain started. The two colts slammed their hooves into the defenseless unicorn, laughing at her and taunting her the whole time. It lasted for at least five minutes, and that was one of the most painful five minutes of her life. After they were done with her they left her on the ground, her fur stained and moistened with blood and tears. “And don’t go snitching on us either, ya useless egghead!” And just when she thought the pain was over, a book slammed into her face. When she got a clearer look at it, she gasped in surprise. It was her book from earlier, but a lot of pages were torn, with the remaining ones saying ‘useless Egghead’ all over them. The book was now unreadable, and she’d have to pay for it. “Keep your stupid book!” They yelled and finally left her to cry on the floor of the bathroom and wonder what she did wrong. That’s how she earned the nickname Egghead. But the story is not quite over. But for now… P Author's Note You guys know the drill. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you for reading. Love ya! <3 ATwilight cried into my chest as I stared out in disbelief. I never went through that type of bullying. Usually ponies are pretty nice, even in Canterlot. You hardly ever heard these type of things often, and to hear them from your best friend is just... unbelievable. Oh I just wanted to punch those two colt's faces in! "And that's not even the whole story. Not even close..." I sat sat on the floor for a minute longer before getting up. I was still in quite a bit of pain from earlier and my body ached so bad. Trotting over to the mirror, I examined the damage they inflicted on me. A bloodied nose, black eye, and a few bumps and scratches on my body. I winced and cleaned off any blood. I still looked horrible. What would I say when somepony sees me? "I fell on the stairs." That is quite believable since pony hooves, a slippery floor, and stairs don't match. I still don't know why that janitor loves to clean the stairs so much. But what about the book. "It was done when I wasn't looking..." I said to myself. Nodding I walked to the library and put the book on the desk. The librarian woke up and gasped when she saw the condition the book was in. "My word! Twilight Sparkle, what did you do to this book?!" She glared at me. "S-somepony did that when I walked to the bathroom..." I lied. "Oh, the ponies these days... Well, I'm sorry young lady, but you'll have to pay for this book. If you think this pony will do it again, I'll suggest you keep the library books in the library and read them here." She said with a frown etched on her face. "Okay Ms. Book Heart." I agreed, and started to walk away until... "Oh MY! Whatever happened to you. How did you get those bruises?" She exclaimed after getting a good look at me. "I tripped down the stairs." I lied. "Oh my! I told Squeaky Clean to avoid the stairs!" She groaned. I walked out of the library and went outside until I was two familiar colts. "Yo Egghead!" yelled the black and orange pegacorn. "Oh no... n-not them..." I whispered in a panicked voice. "Why you lookin like you gonna piss yourself, eh?" The brown colt questioned in fake concern. "I-I..." "Heh, she's stutterin'!" The black one chuckled "Only an egghead would read all the time and stutter out loud!" “Hey, why don’t you come with us for a second, eh?” The brown colt invited. “I-I have to go to class, and…” I started. “I said, come with us!” He demanded, and dragged me to where he wanted to take me. I only whimpered, as I was being forced to skip class. I was soon in an empty room that was lit by a single dull light. I looked around worriedly, wondering what they’d do to me. “I just wanted you to ‘hang’ with us.” He said, putting emphasis on the word ‘hang’. I was about to ask what he meant, when all of a sudden, I was lifted off the ground and hanging by my left rear hoof. I looked around scared, wondering how this happened, when I was an orange aura tie a knot into a wooden pole. The two colts then laughed, holding their stomachs. “Moon Eclipse! Bro! Haha! I can’t breathe!” “I know that’s right Cheese Danish!” I was stuck there, flailing about uselessly in a feeble attempt to free myself. I hadn’t quite mastered levitation, so I couldn’t even loosen the knot that Moon Eclipse (I needed to remember his name) made around the pole or my leg. I’d been pranked. Hard. “W-wha! Lemme go!” I yelled out. “Oh, I forgot.” Moon Eclipse chuckled and put duct tape around my mouth. “That rope is pretty weak. You’ll fall before the blood rushed to your head too much. Plus, janitors come in here often, so you’ll be alright!” “Hey! Wanna play pinata?” Cheese Danish said giddily. “Yeah! Lemme find a stick!” Moon Eclipse laughed. They found some brooms in the corner of the room, covered in dust from lack of use. I was terrified. They then nodded and hit me repetitively with those hard broomsticks. I cried in agony as the poles started to tear my skin, making me bleed. Being upside down, along with the poles hitting my head, made me nauseous, and I tried to hold it in, but I had the puke. It was disgusting. The bile couldn't exit my mouth, so it went through my nose and squirted everywhere, making a big, disgusting mess everywhere. It stunk so bad, and I gagged, trying so desperately to breathe, but all I succeeded in doing was burning my nose. I felt like my nose was melting from acid. The pain was unbearable, and I struggled to scream, but I choked on my own puke. The two colts widened their eyes and was about to untie the rope, when it snapped, and I fell on my head, they took the duct tape off of my mouth and ran. The headache, the taste of blood and puke in my throat and mouth, the blood and tears in my eyes, the stench of bile in my nose, the urine that’d sprayed everywhere when I got scared to death… It all melted into nothing and I fell unconscious. --- “T-twilly? You waking up yet?” I heard a worried voice next to me. I opened my eyes and I was confused to see my brother beside me, with dried tears on his face. He then grabbed me into a big hug once he saw my eyes had opened. We stayed like that for a long time until he asked the question. “Who did this to you?” He asked. “I-it was…” I trailed off. Did I really want to disobey Moon Eclipse and Cheese Danish after that warning they said earlier? “Moon Eclipse and Cheese Danish.” I said meekly. I had a feeling in the pit of my heart that I’d dug my grave when I said their names. “Gr… Blue Blood’s cousins. One by blood, the other by marriage. Yeah, I know those two. Oh, when I see them…” He growled. I was scared. I’d never seen my brother like this before. He had an animalistic look of pure rage on his face, and he looked like he was ready to kill somepony. He looked terrifying. I didn't like this side of my brother. “Shiny, please calm down--” I tried to help him, but his anger got the best of him. “Calm down? CALM DOWN!? Twilight, do you know how mortified I was to see you on the floor, unconscious, laying in your own blood, bile, and urine? To see fresh tears still streaming down your face in that condition with a huge infected gash on your head. Do you know how it felt? How I cringed when you tried to make your foreleg move in your sleep just to hear a sickening crack? How I wanted to cry as you still choked on your puke, struggling to breathe? The nurse said that you were hung upside down by a rope, she could tell because your hind leg was so swollen and red. She also said that you had tape on your mouth, making you choke on your own blood and bile. Twilly, this is serious! We need to punish those two colts with the worst punishment they can give them!” “O-okay…” I said weakly, and started crying. “It’s okay Twilly. I’ve got you. You’re safe now.” He said, holding me as he cried with me. If only he knew just how wrong he was. I wasn't safe. But, as for now… A Author's Note Second Chapter up after so long. And if you're wondering why I did this to poor Twilight, that's because it happened to me. Well, I did make it a bit more dramatic, but it was still horrible. I hope you all like and please, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! I"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY GET NO CONSEQUENSE!" "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!" "I don't make the rules. I'm sorry, but we have no proof that they did anything. Nopony caught them or anything. The colts were even crying, insisting that they did nothing to hurt Twilight. Since nopony actually saw anything, we will give them... well I don't want to say minor consequence but... they'll get one. But I didn't say no consequence." My parents looked as if they were going to kill the poor stallion behind the desk in the principal's office. He was a black unicorn with a silky grey mane and lavender eyes that looked a bit guilty and frightened at the moment. He gulped and smoothed his mane for the umpteenth time, and waiter for my parents to say something. They were silent. And it even creeped me out. I saw their eyes twitch once before my mom took a deep breath. "So... you're letting them off easy because nopony witnessed the two colts nearly KILL HER?!" "No! Not that. But let's just say that if we had a witness, then they'd be in a bit more trouble." "At least give them some type of punishment that will make them not want to ever do it again!" She yelled, and I closed my ears. Her voice is strong. Very, very strong. "Of course we will. They'll be suspended for a week and a half, and I will make them clean the entire school, including the outside for one week... and they'll be in detention for a week and a half. They will be too busy to touch her, and they will learn their lesson." My mom calmed down a little after that. A little. The stallion, named Golden Scroll, looked as if he really wanted to punish those two colts. He really seemed very eager to give them bigger consequences. Maybe they've been getting in a lot of trouble lately? I don't know, but when it was our time to leave, and the two colt's turn to go inside, I heard their parents scream in rage. "HE HAS TO DO WHAT?! THERE WERE NO WITNESSES, SHE COULD BE LYING! Our son would NEVER do such a thing!" So it's those type of parents. The kind who think their kid is just a perfect little angel who'd never hurt anypony in their entire life. I shook my head, and continued... limping to my parents. They'd secured that rope pretty tight... Moon Eclipse had lied about the rope not being tight... and pretty much messed my leg up very badly. It wasn't broken of course, but the doctor did say to be very gentle with it. It was wrapped in bandages and was held up at all times. I limped out of the door and we headed home, the yelling of the bullies' parents yelling getting quieter and quieter as we walked. -- "It's okay sweetheart, you can do this!" My father encouraged as I walked out of my door with my BBBFF. I was reluctant to go to school. I had stayed home for about a week and a half, but now I needed to got to do exams and learn more magic. I didn't even listen to the teacher anyways, because I always knew everything he taught. I learned by myself, so surely I could just stay at home and read books. That's what I tried to tell them, but they said I still had to go to school. I sighed as we got closer and closer to the school. I hung my head low, until Shining put a hoof on my chin and raised it. "Don't worry Twiley. They'll be too busy cleaning to do anything to you. Also, I'll have a little 'chat' with them." He said, emphasizing the word 'chat'. "Okay Shining." I said, still a bit down. Shining looked over to me and frowned. He was really worried about me, I can see it in his eyes. He looks as if he were about to say something else, but stopped himself and continued walking to school. When we stopped at the doors to say our goodbyes, he gave me a big, tight hug. "Twiley..." he trailed off for a moment, as if thinking about what to say. "If they lay a hoof on you... I don't care where you are, just run to me. I'll protect you little sis... no matter what." "Okay, I will! Thank you Shining! I love you..." "I love you too Twiley." We hugged for a moment, and then went our separate ways. I was unaware that the two colts were right behind me. I went up to my locker and grabbed my books, when all of a sudden, somepony bumped into me. I looked back to see that Cheese Danish had bumped into me. He flashed a plastic apologetic smile and helped me up. I looked at him in fear, and he smirked at me. "Hey, Twilight..." "Please don't hurt me..." I whimpered. "You expect us to be nice to you when you snitched on us? " Moon shine was now at my side, glaring at me. "I...I-I-" "You deserve a punishment." Cheese growled. "And don't go runnin' to your brother either. If ya do, we'll make you not want to live any more." Moon threatened. "Follow us." Cheese ordered, an they forced me to follow them to the janitor's closet. I whimpered as they raised their hooves, but didn't hit me. Then they kept jerking them towards me, making me flinch and laughing the whole time. Cheese then whispered something in Moon's ear and they chuckled. After shoving me in the closet, they took some Pony-Sol and a mop and grinned evilly. "This wont hurt... that much." Moon said. Then Cheese, who had the Pony-Sol, poured the floor cleaner all over my head, getting some in my eyes. Then, as I was going to scream, I was hit really hard on my horn by a mop handle, and the next thing I saw was black. --- "Twilly? You waking up?" That's what I heard when I woke up. I looked all around me to find out I was in the same room that I was in when those two colts tied me upside down. I looked to my left to see Shining Armour with... with puffy red eyes filled with tears? His voice was croaky and hoarse, like he'd been shouting for a long time. What happened while I was out? "Sh-shiny? What happened?" I asked him. "Who did it Twily?" He whispered. "W-what...? I don't... I..." I didn't want them to get mad at me any more. If I told Shining... "WHO DID IT, TWILY!" He yelled, and I flinched. My brother never raised his voice at me like that before. My eyes filled with tears as I tried to make myself look as small as possible. Shining's head raised sharply, as if just realising something. "Oh, I'm so sorry Twilly. I didn't meant to yell at you, I just need to know who did this and I need to-" "I don't know who did it." I interrupted him. He looked at me, surprised. "What do you mean you don't know?" He asked. "I was attacked before I could see who did it." I said. I felt bad lying to my B.B.B.F.F when he only wanted to help. "Oh..." he said dejectedly. "Well, If you find out... tell me okay?" He said and his voice turned into a whisper and tears formed in hid eyes. I had never seen him cry before. Shining always wanted to be tough, and he never let himself cry. I had wanted to be like him one day, being able to be really brave and all of that cool stuff. I had seen my brother as some kind of hero, and I loved him. But seeing him at that moment, laying against the edge of my bed, crying his poor head off... it was tiny bit disturbing to me at the time. To see the seemingly untouchable pony that I looked up to being hurt so much by this one little thing... or, at least, 'little' to me at the time. I looked towards my big brother with concern. "Shiny... wh-what's wrong? Why are you crying?" "I wasn't there to protect you. I'm never there to protect you. I'm supposed to be the big brother who's always there for his little sister to protect her. How will I get into the Royal Guard and protect a princess, when I can't even protect my little sister that I love to much? Not only that but all I can do is keep watching you get hurt and cry... It's all my fault this keeps happening. I need to be there for you more." he said, his voice on a whisper. "I'll be alright Shiny! I promise. And you do what you can! You're always there to cheer me up after a rough day. I don't know what I'd do without you. Besides, it's just some mean bullies... I can handle them. They won't kill me or anything." "But Twilly... you don't understand. There's just so much pain a pony can take before they try to get rid of it. It's called suicide... didn't you read that in one of your books? You asked about it before. You know that kind of thing can start with bullying." He croaked his voice still hoarse. "I'll never do that Shiny. Ever. If I go away, who's gonna take care of you?" I asked. And we laughed. I still don't really understand why we did at that moment. Maybe it was all the stress, or that we really needed a laugh at that moment so bad. Maybe it was the mixed emotions that made us laugh with dark humor. The bizarreness of this whole situation that had come up... the pain that needed to go away... everything I guess. But I know that we both felt the same way. "Back then it couldn't really be controlled or stopped, Rainbow. Although it was a very serious matter, to me it kind of felt like, 'Oh no, some bullies' and it just happened. We tried to stop it but... there wasn't much we could even do in the first place. Especially since they were Blueblood's cousins. And as time started to go past us, things got worse and worse. And when I look back on that conversation... Well, the only thing I ever think is that I should've listened to him. I should've been more cautious, otherwise I wouldn't have to go through the hell that was my teenage years. The time of highschool." Twilight whispered. Her voice was now hoarse because of all the crying she did. I held her, as she continued to tell me what happened next. Four years later and it was still happening. Why did Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns have to have elementary, middle AND highschool? And I had just gotten over having my horn split in half. When that colt hit me against the head with that broomstick, he managed to tear my horn right in half. It had taken four years to grow back properly, and my magic was weaker the whole time. I was lucky to be able to use magic at all, and even more lucky to pass my magic exams. This is the year that I was the most unfortunate pony. You see, I never told on those two bullies that much, and I knew everypony had a suspicion about the whole thing. But life continued on without much happening, besides the occasional 'angry day' for the two bullies. High school was the time I actually got to spend some time with Princess Celestia, because now I was fully trusted to be able to keep up with school and my lessons with the Princess. So now, I can actually talk with the Princess instead of only practice and study my magic And most of the time was spent talking, because I was always so ahead of schedule and always studied until I couldn't keep my eyes opened at night. So I'd show her what I'd learned, then I'd talk to her either about my studies, or how I'm doing. Casual stuff. But this day was different. Cheese Danish thought is was a great idea to bang my head against the brick wall outside after school for accidentally tripping him and embarrassing him in front the everypony at lunch. Not only did he do that, but he bucked me in my side and threw me through one of the windows of the school and spat on me, saying I was a worthless cunt. Later that day, after cleaning my wounds, I went to Princess Celestia to show her what I'd learned the previous night. When she saw my face and the cuts that were on my body, her eyes widened with surprise and she gasped, bending down to my level and inspecting my face. "Twilight Sparkle!" she exclaimed "What happened to you?" I had to think of something. And fast. What exactly did I think of on my way? Ugh, stupid brain damage from that mop handle... "I tripped somepony and he got mad, and pushed me into a glass window by mistake. I landed on my face." "What do you mean 'by mistake'? He didn't mean to push you?" She asked incredulously. "No, he meant to push me, but he didn't mean to push me that hard. Or into the window." I said quickly, hoping it was a believable story. She frowned. It was then that I realized that I had tried to lie to a pony who has lived over a thousand years. "Twilight, I know you are a great student to me and all, but do you take me as a fool? I can see the bruises on your face, and I can tell that you had your head banged against something, probably a wall. And that bruise on you side sure does look like somepony bucked you. Somepony intended on hurting you. Really bad." She said, and explained it as if she were there. That is the reason why I never lie to Celestia. I bit my bottom lip and looked down, squeezing my eyes shut as tears threatened to pour out of them. She would find out... and they would get in trouble. And whenever they have the chance to do it, they'll hurt me because I snitched on them. "Twilight..." Celestia whispered softly as she enveloped me in a soft hug. Her big, fluffy wings felt so warm around me. "Who did this to you?" "There are there two bullies at my school... their names are Cheese Danish and and Moon eclipse. Cheese Danish is the one who did this to me." I told her. Her eyes widened in realization. "Blueblood's cousins..." She murmured. --- The next day when I tried to walk to school, I didn't have my brother. He had broken his leg in hoof ball practice yesterday and had to stay home. I was almost there, when all of a sudden, I saw black. When I woke up, I heard a distorted voice speak to me. All it said was "This is for Cheese Danish and Moon Eclipse." and suddenly a white hoof pushed me to the ground. I looked around and saw that I was in a dark alley. I gulped. Dark alleys are not a good place to be in... especially in a city like Canterlot where there' actually a lot of violence. Fights over money, or because you're in a lower class. Or maybe you have way more popularity and that causes a conflict between you and the 'lower' pony. And dark alleys are where the poor usually hang around to mug some unfortunate rich noble. And even more horrible things happen in these alleys. So now a stranger had me in one of them. "What do you mean?" I asked the weird stallion. He said nothing and a few seconds later, I felt a sharp pain in my rump... "And I won't give you the details, but I was raped right there. It was so painful Rainbow. And I felt so horrible... so dirty. I wanted to die. Rainbow I wasn't even fifteen yet!" She sobbed on me. All I could do was hold the poor mare in my hooves trying my best not to cry with her. It seems like no matter where I go, there's always pain waiting for me. And to have my friend hurting... it hurts me too. "I understand-" I started. "No! You don't understand! You don't know how it feels to feel so helpless, so dirty, so disgusting... to be violated! To be in that situation-" "YES I DO!" I yelled. There was silence. "Rainbow... you?" "Yes, Twilight. But I don't want to talk about it right now." I sighed. "Rainbow, are you sure you don't-" I cut the purple mare off. "Look, I'll tell you some other time. When I'm ready. But you were already talking to me about this stuff, and I'll let you finish your story before I tell mine."I told her. And I think, at that moment, that we formed a stronger bong. And I'm glad we had that talk. Who knows, this might change our entire future, this little talk. But I'm not worried about it for now. I Author's Note Am I hinting a sequel? Or am I just poking fun at you for my amusement? Only time will tell, as I don't even know yet. So bye- Oh wait, one second... CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Bye guys!
PTwilight Sparkle, a purple alicorn with a love for books, looked at the current book that she was levitating with disdain. This is why she hated re-shelving the books without Spike. The book always opened old scars. It was titled 'Star Swirl the Bearded's Encyclopedia of Magic' and while it was the first Star Swirl book she had to enjoy, it was also a part of a horrible memory that she'd never get over. “LOOK OUT BELOW!!!” A somewhat feminine voice rang out before a rainbow blur crashed into her from the window. “RAINBOW DASH! What did I tell you about coming through the window?” The alicorn scolded. “To not do it?” The blue mare half asked. Twilight just glared at her. “Right, so what egghead thing were you up to before I interrupted like a boss?” The Pegasus asked with a cocky grin. “Re-shelving the books...” Twilight said, not hiding her irritation in her voice. “Can I help?” Rainbow asked. “Are you sure you want to do that? It's a very complex procedure including—“ “Never mind, jeeze.” Dash interrupted, not caring about what was coming next. “And stop calling me ‘Egghead’” Twilight demanded. “What’s wrong with that name? I think it’s cool!” “Well I DON’T!” Twilight yelled in her friend’s face and shoved her into the book shelf. Rainbow Dash slammed against the shelf with a ‘thud’ and ‘oof’, the surprise knocking the wind out of her. Twilight remained in her position, glaring daggers at the rainbow maned mare, tears threatening to spill at any moment. Rainbow Dash sat up, dizzy and in pain. She felt something warm on the back of her head. After putting her hoof on the warm spot and looking at it, Rainbow’s eyes widened. Blood coated her hoof. She looked at Twilight in shock and disbelief. Something was REALLY wrong with her friend… and she intended to find out. “Twilight… w-what’s wrong?” she asked with deep concern in her voice. “I don’t… I don’t want… to talk about it.” Twilight whispered, tears falling down her cheeks. “Twilight… listen. It’s bad to not tell anypony what bothers you. I know that from experience. You know you can tell me anything because I’m your friend. It’s my job to be there when one of my friends are down, because that’s what friends do. That… that’s what you taught me.” The Pegasus told her, hugging the purple mare in the process. “Let’s go sit down and talk about it.” Rainbow led her to the couch in the library. Twilight sat there for a moment, trying to calm herself down. Rainbow hugged her a little tighter and waited with a patience Twilight had never seen before in her life. After managing to breathe steadily, she began her story. “It started when I was in third grade…” A filly Twilight walked happily with her brother to school, bouncing in excitement. She always loved going to school in the morning, and was always on time every single day. She had perfect attendance, always making sure nopony knew when she was sick, and going straight into class instead of hanging out in the hallway like a lot of ponies did. “Twily, you’re always so excited to go to school. I wish I was that happy to sit in class!” Her brother, Shining Armor commented. “I’m not excited about school; I’m excited about the library!” She exclaimed. “Ah, you’re just a little bookworm aren’t ya?” He chuckled, ruffling up her mane a bit. Twilight giggled happily and parted ways with her B.B.B.F.F when they entered the school. Shining Armor also attended Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns in hopes of being a Royal Guard. He didn’t even expect his role to be that big, maybe a throne room guard or an entrance guard. Nothing too special. The purple filly went into her classroom to her desk, which was in the back of the classroom, and pulled out her materials. Her materials were actually books, a paper and a pencil for taking down notes… about her books. She never talked to anypony or acknowledged them, only speaking to answer a question if called on by the teacher. All of her free time was spent in the library, where nopony visited often. The librarian would just sleep, and Twilight’s name would already be put down on the check out list for 20 books. It was a cycle to never be broken until… “Yo, egghead! What’cha doin’?” A colt’s voice rang out from in front of her. “Reading…” Twilight stated flatly, ignoring the little colt. “Ugh, I told ya she was an egghead. She might be smart with them books, but she ain’t smart with her looks. She don’t even know how to have a friend! Shows how smart she is!” The colt yelled to his buddy on his left. “Heh, you’re right! Let’s show her what we do with eggheads.” The other colt snorted as he knocked her book down to the ground. “HEY!” She said as she finally truly noticed the two colts. One of them was a black pegasus with a spiky orange mane, his cutie mark being a solar eclipse that she could’ve sworn it shined a little. The other colt was a chubby unicorn with brown fur and a black mane, his hazel/green eyes glaring mischievously at the purple unicorn. “What’s wrong? Did we offend ya? Sorry, I’ll pick that up for ya.” The pegasus said and levitated the book up smacking her face in the process. She looked at the pegasus in disbelief. Not only because he smacked her in the face with her heavy hardcover book, but because... he was a PEGASUS and he LEVITATED her book. How was that even possible? He must have figured out what she was thinking and groaned. “I would’ve thought you and your Celestia damned books would teach you about pegacorns! Pegacorns are a rare race that has unicorn and pegasus traits so…yeah. You are dumber than I thought! You’d think with all of that reading, you’d know an obvious fact like that!” He said cruelly. Twilight didn’t know what to say, she just whimpered and started to cry. But she would soon learn that crying was a bad idea. And that trusting bullies was a VERY bad idea. Where was the teacher when you needed one? “Aye, no crying now. We ain’t mean nothin’,” the brown colt patted the purple filly on her back. “How about we go out and talk about it?” The naive Twilight nodded her head and the two colts led her out the classroom and to the bathroom (multi gender). They then started laughing cruelly, asking how she was dumb enough to trust them. They then grinned evilly at the poor bookworm. “So, like I said, we’ll show ya what we do ta Eggheads.” The pegacorn chuckled. And that’s when the pain started. The two colts slammed their hooves into the defenseless unicorn, laughing at her and taunting her the whole time. It lasted for at least five minutes, and that was one of the most painful five minutes of her life. After they were done with her they left her on the ground, her fur stained and moistened with blood and tears. “And don’t go snitching on us either, ya useless egghead!” And just when she thought the pain was over, a book slammed into her face. When she got a clearer look at it, she gasped in surprise. It was her book from earlier, but a lot of pages were torn, with the remaining ones saying ‘useless Egghead’ all over them. The book was now unreadable, and she’d have to pay for it. “Keep your stupid book!” They yelled and finally left her to cry on the floor of the bathroom and wonder what she did wrong. That’s how she earned the nickname Egghead. But the story is not quite over. But for now… P Author's Note You guys know the drill. CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM is GREATLY appreciated! Thank you for reading. Love ya! <3
ATwilight cried into my chest as I stared out in disbelief. I never went through that type of bullying. Usually ponies are pretty nice, even in Canterlot. You hardly ever heard these type of things often, and to hear them from your best friend is just... unbelievable. Oh I just wanted to punch those two colt's faces in! "And that's not even the whole story. Not even close..." I sat sat on the floor for a minute longer before getting up. I was still in quite a bit of pain from earlier and my body ached so bad. Trotting over to the mirror, I examined the damage they inflicted on me. A bloodied nose, black eye, and a few bumps and scratches on my body. I winced and cleaned off any blood. I still looked horrible. What would I say when somepony sees me? "I fell on the stairs." That is quite believable since pony hooves, a slippery floor, and stairs don't match. I still don't know why that janitor loves to clean the stairs so much. But what about the book. "It was done when I wasn't looking..." I said to myself. Nodding I walked to the library and put the book on the desk. The librarian woke up and gasped when she saw the condition the book was in. "My word! Twilight Sparkle, what did you do to this book?!" She glared at me. "S-somepony did that when I walked to the bathroom..." I lied. "Oh, the ponies these days... Well, I'm sorry young lady, but you'll have to pay for this book. If you think this pony will do it again, I'll suggest you keep the library books in the library and read them here." She said with a frown etched on her face. "Okay Ms. Book Heart." I agreed, and started to walk away until... "Oh MY! Whatever happened to you. How did you get those bruises?" She exclaimed after getting a good look at me. "I tripped down the stairs." I lied. "Oh my! I told Squeaky Clean to avoid the stairs!" She groaned. I walked out of the library and went outside until I was two familiar colts. "Yo Egghead!" yelled the black and orange pegacorn. "Oh no... n-not them..." I whispered in a panicked voice. "Why you lookin like you gonna piss yourself, eh?" The brown colt questioned in fake concern. "I-I..." "Heh, she's stutterin'!" The black one chuckled "Only an egghead would read all the time and stutter out loud!" “Hey, why don’t you come with us for a second, eh?” The brown colt invited. “I-I have to go to class, and…” I started. “I said, come with us!” He demanded, and dragged me to where he wanted to take me. I only whimpered, as I was being forced to skip class. I was soon in an empty room that was lit by a single dull light. I looked around worriedly, wondering what they’d do to me. “I just wanted you to ‘hang’ with us.” He said, putting emphasis on the word ‘hang’. I was about to ask what he meant, when all of a sudden, I was lifted off the ground and hanging by my left rear hoof. I looked around scared, wondering how this happened, when I was an orange aura tie a knot into a wooden pole. The two colts then laughed, holding their stomachs. “Moon Eclipse! Bro! Haha! I can’t breathe!” “I know that’s right Cheese Danish!” I was stuck there, flailing about uselessly in a feeble attempt to free myself. I hadn’t quite mastered levitation, so I couldn’t even loosen the knot that Moon Eclipse (I needed to remember his name) made around the pole or my leg. I’d been pranked. Hard. “W-wha! Lemme go!” I yelled out. “Oh, I forgot.” Moon Eclipse chuckled and put duct tape around my mouth. “That rope is pretty weak. You’ll fall before the blood rushed to your head too much. Plus, janitors come in here often, so you’ll be alright!” “Hey! Wanna play pinata?” Cheese Danish said giddily. “Yeah! Lemme find a stick!” Moon Eclipse laughed. They found some brooms in the corner of the room, covered in dust from lack of use. I was terrified. They then nodded and hit me repetitively with those hard broomsticks. I cried in agony as the poles started to tear my skin, making me bleed. Being upside down, along with the poles hitting my head, made me nauseous, and I tried to hold it in, but I had the puke. It was disgusting. The bile couldn't exit my mouth, so it went through my nose and squirted everywhere, making a big, disgusting mess everywhere. It stunk so bad, and I gagged, trying so desperately to breathe, but all I succeeded in doing was burning my nose. I felt like my nose was melting from acid. The pain was unbearable, and I struggled to scream, but I choked on my own puke. The two colts widened their eyes and was about to untie the rope, when it snapped, and I fell on my head, they took the duct tape off of my mouth and ran. The headache, the taste of blood and puke in my throat and mouth, the blood and tears in my eyes, the stench of bile in my nose, the urine that’d sprayed everywhere when I got scared to death… It all melted into nothing and I fell unconscious. --- “T-twilly? You waking up yet?” I heard a worried voice next to me. I opened my eyes and I was confused to see my brother beside me, with dried tears on his face. He then grabbed me into a big hug once he saw my eyes had opened. We stayed like that for a long time until he asked the question. “Who did this to you?” He asked. “I-it was…” I trailed off. Did I really want to disobey Moon Eclipse and Cheese Danish after that warning they said earlier? “Moon Eclipse and Cheese Danish.” I said meekly. I had a feeling in the pit of my heart that I’d dug my grave when I said their names. “Gr… Blue Blood’s cousins. One by blood, the other by marriage. Yeah, I know those two. Oh, when I see them…” He growled. I was scared. I’d never seen my brother like this before. He had an animalistic look of pure rage on his face, and he looked like he was ready to kill somepony. He looked terrifying. I didn't like this side of my brother. “Shiny, please calm down--” I tried to help him, but his anger got the best of him. “Calm down? CALM DOWN!? Twilight, do you know how mortified I was to see you on the floor, unconscious, laying in your own blood, bile, and urine? To see fresh tears still streaming down your face in that condition with a huge infected gash on your head. Do you know how it felt? How I cringed when you tried to make your foreleg move in your sleep just to hear a sickening crack? How I wanted to cry as you still choked on your puke, struggling to breathe? The nurse said that you were hung upside down by a rope, she could tell because your hind leg was so swollen and red. She also said that you had tape on your mouth, making you choke on your own blood and bile. Twilly, this is serious! We need to punish those two colts with the worst punishment they can give them!” “O-okay…” I said weakly, and started crying. “It’s okay Twilly. I’ve got you. You’re safe now.” He said, holding me as he cried with me. If only he knew just how wrong he was. I wasn't safe. But, as for now… A Author's Note Second Chapter up after so long. And if you're wondering why I did this to poor Twilight, that's because it happened to me. Well, I did make it a bit more dramatic, but it was still horrible. I hope you all like and please, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
I"WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY GET NO CONSEQUENSE!" "YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!" "I don't make the rules. I'm sorry, but we have no proof that they did anything. Nopony caught them or anything. The colts were even crying, insisting that they did nothing to hurt Twilight. Since nopony actually saw anything, we will give them... well I don't want to say minor consequence but... they'll get one. But I didn't say no consequence." My parents looked as if they were going to kill the poor stallion behind the desk in the principal's office. He was a black unicorn with a silky grey mane and lavender eyes that looked a bit guilty and frightened at the moment. He gulped and smoothed his mane for the umpteenth time, and waiter for my parents to say something. They were silent. And it even creeped me out. I saw their eyes twitch once before my mom took a deep breath. "So... you're letting them off easy because nopony witnessed the two colts nearly KILL HER?!" "No! Not that. But let's just say that if we had a witness, then they'd be in a bit more trouble." "At least give them some type of punishment that will make them not want to ever do it again!" She yelled, and I closed my ears. Her voice is strong. Very, very strong. "Of course we will. They'll be suspended for a week and a half, and I will make them clean the entire school, including the outside for one week... and they'll be in detention for a week and a half. They will be too busy to touch her, and they will learn their lesson." My mom calmed down a little after that. A little. The stallion, named Golden Scroll, looked as if he really wanted to punish those two colts. He really seemed very eager to give them bigger consequences. Maybe they've been getting in a lot of trouble lately? I don't know, but when it was our time to leave, and the two colt's turn to go inside, I heard their parents scream in rage. "HE HAS TO DO WHAT?! THERE WERE NO WITNESSES, SHE COULD BE LYING! Our son would NEVER do such a thing!" So it's those type of parents. The kind who think their kid is just a perfect little angel who'd never hurt anypony in their entire life. I shook my head, and continued... limping to my parents. They'd secured that rope pretty tight... Moon Eclipse had lied about the rope not being tight... and pretty much messed my leg up very badly. It wasn't broken of course, but the doctor did say to be very gentle with it. It was wrapped in bandages and was held up at all times. I limped out of the door and we headed home, the yelling of the bullies' parents yelling getting quieter and quieter as we walked. -- "It's okay sweetheart, you can do this!" My father encouraged as I walked out of my door with my BBBFF. I was reluctant to go to school. I had stayed home for about a week and a half, but now I needed to got to do exams and learn more magic. I didn't even listen to the teacher anyways, because I always knew everything he taught. I learned by myself, so surely I could just stay at home and read books. That's what I tried to tell them, but they said I still had to go to school. I sighed as we got closer and closer to the school. I hung my head low, until Shining put a hoof on my chin and raised it. "Don't worry Twiley. They'll be too busy cleaning to do anything to you. Also, I'll have a little 'chat' with them." He said, emphasizing the word 'chat'. "Okay Shining." I said, still a bit down. Shining looked over to me and frowned. He was really worried about me, I can see it in his eyes. He looks as if he were about to say something else, but stopped himself and continued walking to school. When we stopped at the doors to say our goodbyes, he gave me a big, tight hug. "Twiley..." he trailed off for a moment, as if thinking about what to say. "If they lay a hoof on you... I don't care where you are, just run to me. I'll protect you little sis... no matter what." "Okay, I will! Thank you Shining! I love you..." "I love you too Twiley." We hugged for a moment, and then went our separate ways. I was unaware that the two colts were right behind me. I went up to my locker and grabbed my books, when all of a sudden, somepony bumped into me. I looked back to see that Cheese Danish had bumped into me. He flashed a plastic apologetic smile and helped me up. I looked at him in fear, and he smirked at me. "Hey, Twilight..." "Please don't hurt me..." I whimpered. "You expect us to be nice to you when you snitched on us? " Moon shine was now at my side, glaring at me. "I...I-I-" "You deserve a punishment." Cheese growled. "And don't go runnin' to your brother either. If ya do, we'll make you not want to live any more." Moon threatened. "Follow us." Cheese ordered, an they forced me to follow them to the janitor's closet. I whimpered as they raised their hooves, but didn't hit me. Then they kept jerking them towards me, making me flinch and laughing the whole time. Cheese then whispered something in Moon's ear and they chuckled. After shoving me in the closet, they took some Pony-Sol and a mop and grinned evilly. "This wont hurt... that much." Moon said. Then Cheese, who had the Pony-Sol, poured the floor cleaner all over my head, getting some in my eyes. Then, as I was going to scream, I was hit really hard on my horn by a mop handle, and the next thing I saw was black. --- "Twilly? You waking up?" That's what I heard when I woke up. I looked all around me to find out I was in the same room that I was in when those two colts tied me upside down. I looked to my left to see Shining Armour with... with puffy red eyes filled with tears? His voice was croaky and hoarse, like he'd been shouting for a long time. What happened while I was out? "Sh-shiny? What happened?" I asked him. "Who did it Twily?" He whispered. "W-what...? I don't... I..." I didn't want them to get mad at me any more. If I told Shining... "WHO DID IT, TWILY!" He yelled, and I flinched. My brother never raised his voice at me like that before. My eyes filled with tears as I tried to make myself look as small as possible. Shining's head raised sharply, as if just realising something. "Oh, I'm so sorry Twilly. I didn't meant to yell at you, I just need to know who did this and I need to-" "I don't know who did it." I interrupted him. He looked at me, surprised. "What do you mean you don't know?" He asked. "I was attacked before I could see who did it." I said. I felt bad lying to my B.B.B.F.F when he only wanted to help. "Oh..." he said dejectedly. "Well, If you find out... tell me okay?" He said and his voice turned into a whisper and tears formed in hid eyes. I had never seen him cry before. Shining always wanted to be tough, and he never let himself cry. I had wanted to be like him one day, being able to be really brave and all of that cool stuff. I had seen my brother as some kind of hero, and I loved him. But seeing him at that moment, laying against the edge of my bed, crying his poor head off... it was tiny bit disturbing to me at the time. To see the seemingly untouchable pony that I looked up to being hurt so much by this one little thing... or, at least, 'little' to me at the time. I looked towards my big brother with concern. "Shiny... wh-what's wrong? Why are you crying?" "I wasn't there to protect you. I'm never there to protect you. I'm supposed to be the big brother who's always there for his little sister to protect her. How will I get into the Royal Guard and protect a princess, when I can't even protect my little sister that I love to much? Not only that but all I can do is keep watching you get hurt and cry... It's all my fault this keeps happening. I need to be there for you more." he said, his voice on a whisper. "I'll be alright Shiny! I promise. And you do what you can! You're always there to cheer me up after a rough day. I don't know what I'd do without you. Besides, it's just some mean bullies... I can handle them. They won't kill me or anything." "But Twilly... you don't understand. There's just so much pain a pony can take before they try to get rid of it. It's called suicide... didn't you read that in one of your books? You asked about it before. You know that kind of thing can start with bullying." He croaked his voice still hoarse. "I'll never do that Shiny. Ever. If I go away, who's gonna take care of you?" I asked. And we laughed. I still don't really understand why we did at that moment. Maybe it was all the stress, or that we really needed a laugh at that moment so bad. Maybe it was the mixed emotions that made us laugh with dark humor. The bizarreness of this whole situation that had come up... the pain that needed to go away... everything I guess. But I know that we both felt the same way. "Back then it couldn't really be controlled or stopped, Rainbow. Although it was a very serious matter, to me it kind of felt like, 'Oh no, some bullies' and it just happened. We tried to stop it but... there wasn't much we could even do in the first place. Especially since they were Blueblood's cousins. And as time started to go past us, things got worse and worse. And when I look back on that conversation... Well, the only thing I ever think is that I should've listened to him. I should've been more cautious, otherwise I wouldn't have to go through the hell that was my teenage years. The time of highschool." Twilight whispered. Her voice was now hoarse because of all the crying she did. I held her, as she continued to tell me what happened next. Four years later and it was still happening. Why did Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns have to have elementary, middle AND highschool? And I had just gotten over having my horn split in half. When that colt hit me against the head with that broomstick, he managed to tear my horn right in half. It had taken four years to grow back properly, and my magic was weaker the whole time. I was lucky to be able to use magic at all, and even more lucky to pass my magic exams. This is the year that I was the most unfortunate pony. You see, I never told on those two bullies that much, and I knew everypony had a suspicion about the whole thing. But life continued on without much happening, besides the occasional 'angry day' for the two bullies. High school was the time I actually got to spend some time with Princess Celestia, because now I was fully trusted to be able to keep up with school and my lessons with the Princess. So now, I can actually talk with the Princess instead of only practice and study my magic And most of the time was spent talking, because I was always so ahead of schedule and always studied until I couldn't keep my eyes opened at night. So I'd show her what I'd learned, then I'd talk to her either about my studies, or how I'm doing. Casual stuff. But this day was different. Cheese Danish thought is was a great idea to bang my head against the brick wall outside after school for accidentally tripping him and embarrassing him in front the everypony at lunch. Not only did he do that, but he bucked me in my side and threw me through one of the windows of the school and spat on me, saying I was a worthless cunt. Later that day, after cleaning my wounds, I went to Princess Celestia to show her what I'd learned the previous night. When she saw my face and the cuts that were on my body, her eyes widened with surprise and she gasped, bending down to my level and inspecting my face. "Twilight Sparkle!" she exclaimed "What happened to you?" I had to think of something. And fast. What exactly did I think of on my way? Ugh, stupid brain damage from that mop handle... "I tripped somepony and he got mad, and pushed me into a glass window by mistake. I landed on my face." "What do you mean 'by mistake'? He didn't mean to push you?" She asked incredulously. "No, he meant to push me, but he didn't mean to push me that hard. Or into the window." I said quickly, hoping it was a believable story. She frowned. It was then that I realized that I had tried to lie to a pony who has lived over a thousand years. "Twilight, I know you are a great student to me and all, but do you take me as a fool? I can see the bruises on your face, and I can tell that you had your head banged against something, probably a wall. And that bruise on you side sure does look like somepony bucked you. Somepony intended on hurting you. Really bad." She said, and explained it as if she were there. That is the reason why I never lie to Celestia. I bit my bottom lip and looked down, squeezing my eyes shut as tears threatened to pour out of them. She would find out... and they would get in trouble. And whenever they have the chance to do it, they'll hurt me because I snitched on them. "Twilight..." Celestia whispered softly as she enveloped me in a soft hug. Her big, fluffy wings felt so warm around me. "Who did this to you?" "There are there two bullies at my school... their names are Cheese Danish and and Moon eclipse. Cheese Danish is the one who did this to me." I told her. Her eyes widened in realization. "Blueblood's cousins..." She murmured. --- The next day when I tried to walk to school, I didn't have my brother. He had broken his leg in hoof ball practice yesterday and had to stay home. I was almost there, when all of a sudden, I saw black. When I woke up, I heard a distorted voice speak to me. All it said was "This is for Cheese Danish and Moon Eclipse." and suddenly a white hoof pushed me to the ground. I looked around and saw that I was in a dark alley. I gulped. Dark alleys are not a good place to be in... especially in a city like Canterlot where there' actually a lot of violence. Fights over money, or because you're in a lower class. Or maybe you have way more popularity and that causes a conflict between you and the 'lower' pony. And dark alleys are where the poor usually hang around to mug some unfortunate rich noble. And even more horrible things happen in these alleys. So now a stranger had me in one of them. "What do you mean?" I asked the weird stallion. He said nothing and a few seconds later, I felt a sharp pain in my rump... "And I won't give you the details, but I was raped right there. It was so painful Rainbow. And I felt so horrible... so dirty. I wanted to die. Rainbow I wasn't even fifteen yet!" She sobbed on me. All I could do was hold the poor mare in my hooves trying my best not to cry with her. It seems like no matter where I go, there's always pain waiting for me. And to have my friend hurting... it hurts me too. "I understand-" I started. "No! You don't understand! You don't know how it feels to feel so helpless, so dirty, so disgusting... to be violated! To be in that situation-" "YES I DO!" I yelled. There was silence. "Rainbow... you?" "Yes, Twilight. But I don't want to talk about it right now." I sighed. "Rainbow, are you sure you don't-" I cut the purple mare off. "Look, I'll tell you some other time. When I'm ready. But you were already talking to me about this stuff, and I'll let you finish your story before I tell mine."I told her. And I think, at that moment, that we formed a stronger bong. And I'm glad we had that talk. Who knows, this might change our entire future, this little talk. But I'm not worried about it for now. I Author's Note Am I hinting a sequel? Or am I just poking fun at you for my amusement? Only time will tell, as I don't even know yet. So bye- Oh wait, one second... CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! Bye guys!
