Chapter 2: Questions (Raw)
She looked over the clothes like they were something crazy and never before seen. She tossed off the blanket and stood up uneasily, bracing herself on the couch. I stood in the kitchen, quickly turning away to be polite, though my urges once again got the better of me as I peeked over my shoulder. What I saw shocked and fairly amazed me. I looked on at her rear, which, I had to admit, looked really nice but wasn't what really had me. My eyes had widened as I saw what looked almost like tattoos of single large pink stars surrounded by five white stars on each cheek.
She turned the clothes over and looked at every inch of the fabric. She then started looking herself over again, looking over ever small curve. Man did she look good, for me anyway. She held up the smaller underwear and looked at it confused.
"You put that on first." I said, forgetting she didn't know I was watching.
She didn't seem upset about me knowing and kept on looking over the pair of panties. She looked back down to her figure and assumed where it would belong. She bent a knee and slipped a foot through one leg hole. She managed the other in and bent over to pull them up. As she leaned forward I could see under valley and found it hard to tear away. I finally did remove myself and walked off.
"Why am I such a perv?" I asked myself as I walked into my bathroom.
One piss and a shave later (Purely to kill time) I walked back into my kitchen scratching my jaw.
"Last time I dry shave." I muttered grabbing the now flat beer off the counter. She sat on the couch having figured out how the clothes worked, holding one of the cups of still warm tea. She seemed deep in thought again, her eyes closed as she breathed deeply.
I sat down beside her. "Alright, since I can tell that your a fan too, let's have a little fun and lighten the tension." I said grabbing the remote from in between the cushions. "Look, Eight o'clock." I said turning on the TV, already on the desired channel.
"What, what is this?" She asked shocked and confused yet again at the sight of a certain pastel colored cartoon.
"New episode." I replied smiling.
After an hour of a new episode of FIM and last weeks I sat comfortably beside her holding the bottle straight up, finishing it.
"What'd you think?" I asked, glad to have what I assumed was another fan of the show beside me.
"I...I...how?..." She barely managed, her eyes wide as I finally noticed they were a deep violet.
She only slumped forward, holding her head, her long hair hanging down over her face. She looked almost on the verge of tears.
I leaned in feeling a pang of guilt, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I'm uh, sorry if I struck a nerve or something." I said not knowing how deal with such a situation.
She looked back at me, eyes heavy and wet. "How is this even possible?" She asked.
I scowled at myself, thinking over the question and how to answer it.
"I...I was trying a new spell...and something happened." She said looking at her hands.
"Man, she's serious about the Twilight thing. " Trying to help her, I played along. "Oh, and just what happened?"
"There was this bright, blinding flash and then nothing. I woke up and I was nowhere, everything seemed empty and barren. I thought I saw someone, and when I got to them it was the Princess, but she was different." She went on, beginning to give small sobs.
"And?" I said, motioning my hand for her to continue.
*Give criticism, don't just thumb down and leave. Give me a reason you don't like it.

Chapter 3: Answers, sort of (Raw)
She took a deep breath and pressed on through her story. "She looked strange." She said fear beginning to take place of her confusion. "She was darker and she looked hurt. I tried to help her, she just limply floated up, and when I watched her float away into the air a giant arm was holding her. It lifted her away and all I heard was this horrid laughter as it all faded away." She went on, looking at the floor. "and then I woke up here."
"Well, I guess trying to help her is going to be tougher than I thought" I thought."For now I'll just play along."
"I don't know if it was a dream or real or...I just don't know."
Alright listen, I'm gonna help you, but your gonna have to work with me. Alright?" I asked being serious.
She only nodded. I got up and walked over to the door. I waved for her to follow and stepped out. I quickly jogged across the street to Justin's house. I pounded on the door and waited, nothing. I pounded again and waited, nothing. 'Twilight' stood patiently beside me.
"Stay here." I ordered, jumping down from the porch and walking around the house. I walked over to the garage in his backyard and opened the door to be greeted by Justin holding his magnum to my face while he kept looking over his car. I froze in place, "I hope he's not on PCP right now." I said to myself.
He turned around and lowered the gun. "Oh, hey man. What's up?" He asked nonchalantly.
"Oh nothing, just thought I could come over, say hi, get a .44 shoved in my face." I said sarcastically.
"Sorry, gotta be cautious man."
"Yeah well, I don't feel like having a hole in me just 'cause my friend was being cautious."
"I said sorry."
"Whatever."
"Listen, I'm working on my car, what d'you need."
"I need to borrow your car." I said plainly."your street car."
"I'm working on my street car."
"Then I'm fucked." I said now irritated.
I looked at a bike that stood suspended from chain over a work bench on the other side. a West Coast Choppers CFL, 2032cc twin cam engine coupled to a 6 speed transmission with a chain final drive. Mine.
"Why do you even need it?" He asked wiping motor oil of his hands with a dirty rag.
I put my arm around his shoulder, and guided him out of the garage. We stood in the driveway and I pointed toward 'Twilight' who was looking around the corner of the house at us. "That my friend, is why."
He looked at me with a grin and I followed him back to the garage where he opened a door into a separate room where I saw the most beautiful thing (to me). There sat a 2012 Mustang Boss 302, which he avidly used for street racing. What made this one so unique was that it was a Laguna Seca. He had kept this room separated do to the fact he stole the car and had quite a few illegal modifications, though none visible.
I stepped up to it an placed a hand on it's hood, looking at the custom paint job he had done himself. on the hood was a large white eagle. The rest of the car was a solid ebony with red, blue and yellow striping and details. The tires were white walled and he had dark silvery rims, which, knowing Justin, would probably be steel.
He dug into one of his pockets with his greasy hand and pulled out the keys, which he then tossed to me. I caught them and looked back and forth between him and the car. "Seriously?"
He only nodded. Excited, I opened the door and slid in feeling rather tight being six-six and at shoulder took up roughly sixteen inches. I sat comfortably in the black leather seat. I placed my hands on the wheel and stuck the key in and turned it. My heart almost skipped a beat as I heard the car start with roar.
Justin patted the roof and I rolled down the window. "Don't have too much fun." He said walking over to the garage door, opening it. I eased the car out and he yelled to me. "What ever you do, don't flip the red switch!"
"Red switch?" I thought to myself. I looked in the rear view mirror to see Justin standing next to a large canister of nitrous oxide."Oh, red switch."
I pulled up to 'Twilight' who sat on the steps of the porch and leaned over to the other door and opened it. "Hop in."
Wide eyed, she stepped over to the car. "What is this?" She asked.
"This is three thousand six hundred and fifty pounds of Kick Ass, now get in." I said looking at the console with the largest grin I ever had.
She eased into the cabin and looked around, bewildered by the whole of the machine. As we drove down the road she opened the glove compartment and looked in at its contents. A map, a flashlight, A towel, but pulled out what caught her eye the most. "What's this?" She asked.
I turned to her, to see her looking over a rather large pack of condoms. I placed the palm of hand to my face and shook my head. "Please put those back." I asked her, trying to stay calm about it. "God dammit Justin."
*Give criticism, don't just thumb down and leave. Give me a reason you don't like it.

She only looked at me, an eyebrow raised. I grabbed the package and put it back in the glove compartment, slamming it shut.
"We never speak of this again."
"Okay." Was the only reply I received.
After twenty minutes of driving in silence, we arrived in front of a large building that seemed almost like a boarding school. I parked and pulled myself out of the car. 'Twilight' having trouble with the handle, I stepped around the car to open her door for her. I grabbed her by the forearm and led her into the building.
Looking around she began asking question again. "What is this place?"
Stopping at the front desk, I turned to her. "This is a rehabilitation center, I'm getting you help."
The old woman at the desk turned to us with a heart warming smile. "Oh, why hello there Mr. Mink, here to volunteer some more time?"
"No Ruth, I'm here to drop someone off." I said motioning toward 'Twilight'
"Okay deary, here." She said handing me a clipboard and a pen. "You'll have to sign her in."
"Alright," I said walking over to the bench in the lobby, taking a seat.
'Twilight' was led away by a nurse, as she was dragged along she turned to me, eyes heavy with a facial expression begging me to help her. I swallowed the pang of guilt and began writing.
Name: Jane Doe , responds to Twilight
Age: Unknown
Relatives: Unknown
If she wants to talk to me allow her to call-
I wrote down my cellphone number under the question in the free space.
I stood up and walked back to the front desk, handing the board back. Ruth took the sheet and pen and Looked toward me."Don't worry James, she'll be getting the help she needs."
My thoughts screamed otherwise as I left the building. "I hope so."
I walked over to the car an opened the door, sitting sideways in the seat with the door still open. I began to contemplate my actions. "Should I have just handed her off without so much as a goodbye, should I have even helped her?"
Noticing something small sticking out from under the seat I grabbed the box and looked at it. "Smokes?"
Feeling the need to relax, I opened the box and pulled out one while digging through my pocket for the lucky lighter my grandfather had given me. Something strange stood out though, the cigarette was wrinkled and seemed wilted.
It hit me. "Justin, you crazy prick, thank you!" I said acting on impulse. I turned on the radio and lit it. Taking a deep puff of it I listened to the music.
...
I began to feel the effect of the sherm at the peak of the song, the part that always seemed to hit me hard. I began singing with it.
"father, father, father, father,
father into your hands, I commend my spirit,
father into you hands, why have you forsaken me,
in your eyes, forsaken me,
in your thoughts, forsaken me,
in your heart, forsaken me."
I slammed my fist in anger on the console, turning off the radio.
"NO, I'm not some whiny bitch! I'm going to grow a pair and do something." I said slamming the car door. I held the stump of a cigarette up. I held my arm out and tapped on the cigarette, knocking hot ash off it and letting drop onto my forearm.
I walked back into the building and stepped up to the front desk. "Oh, back so soon Mr. Mink?" Ruth said kindly.
"Listen, Ruth, I'm the one that's been having problems. You see," I strained. "I'm a user, and I feel so guilty about it that I feel I need to help people to relieve guilt."
"Oh, come here," She said, taking me by the arm. "I'll sign you in myself.
"Ruth, can you take me to see Twilight?" I asked, beginning to scratch at my arms.
"Why of course and don't take this so hard, your a good person you just need guidance."
"Thanks."

Chapter 5: What now? This (Raw)
As we walked down the hall we reached a small room where a male nurse was sitting across from Twilight.
"Do you know what your actual name is?" He asked her.
"Yes, I'm telling you, it's Twilight Sparkle." She pleaded.
The nurse only frowned and scribbled away on his clipboard.
"Here she is James." Ruth said, filling the gap.
"Thank you Ruth, I'll be fine here."
"Alright sweetie, take care."
I walked in to the room to the nurses dismay.
"You can't be here." He said in an irritated tone.
"I'm here to take her back."
He only looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I grabbed Twilight by the forearm and began walking toward the door. The nurse jumped in the way. "Whoa whoa, where do think your going?" He asked alarmed.
"We're leaving," I answered angrily, my eye beginning to twitch.
"Jesus, he's already tweaked." The nurse rambled as he opened a drawer and pulled out a syringe with a thick yellow fluid in it.
Another nurse hurried in and grabbed me trying to hold me still, his arms under mine. The nurse with the syringe stepped over to me brandishing the syringe. "Alright, your go take a na-"
He was cut off by a swift kick the groin. Slumped over onto the ground, he dropped the needle. The guard holding with was met with the back of my head and held nose groaning, blood from it. I grabbed the nurse slumped over, clutching his now sore pride by the collar of his scrubs and headbutted him hard. Blood now pouring from my forehead, the nurse behind me grabbed my shoulder. I responded by grabbing the syringe form the ground. I spun around and plunged it into his neck. He let out a long wheezing gasp and fell over.
Twilight who stood there stunned, had watched the entire display. "Come on, more of them 'll be on there way."
Her body refusing to move only stood there. her mouth agape.
"Oh fuck my life." I said grabbing her and carrying her piggy back style, running down the hall.
I made it back to the lobby where I found Two more nurses with what looked like a nightsticks. I ran past them, trying my best to carry Twilight. One jumped in front of the door and raised his meager armament. Taking the opening, I kicked forward, hitting him in the gut. He fell, the wind knocked out of him.
I hurried out the door to see the boss still parked, unnoticed. I ran to the passenger side and opened the door, setting Twilight in the seat. I closed the door and hurried over to the opposite side. I opened the door and got behind the wheel. The key still in ignition I started the car and changed to drive.
One of the nurses made it to the car and opened the door. I elbowed him in the stomach and grabbed him by his shirt and pulled him forward, slamming his head on the frame of the door. I slammed my foot on the gas pedal and zipped out of the lot into the street. The radio came back to life.
The car roared down the street and a police cruiser followed, its lights flashing and deafening siren going off. I swerved out of the way of cars going down the road, the police cruiser keeping with me.
"Seat belt, now!" I ordered her. She only turned to me more confused.
"What's going on? Why are they following us? Why did you do that?" She kept asking more and more questions.
"I felt bad about just dropping you off, and since they didn't feel like letting you go, I took matters into my own hands." I said leaning over to her and pulling the seat belt down over her, locking it in place. I then secured mine and hit the breaks turning the wheel and swerving around a corner. The cruiser kept on and made the turn, keeping up.
"Hold on!"
"Why? What are you doing?" She asked nervously holding onto the door.
I looked beside the ignition to see what I had in mind. "Red switch."
"What? What will that do?"
"I said hold on." I reached for the switch. "Féach leat níos déanaí fuckers!" I yelled in the cabin as I flip it.
Everything became a blur as I lurched back in my seat barely missing cars as I tried to keep straight. I looked over to see Twilight, pressed against her seat, eyes wide with fear.
The road ended in a fenced off cliff over the freeway. The car blared through the fence into the open air.
"SSHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-"

Chapter 6: A different route (Raw)
The car dove through the open air onto the freeway. Hitting the ground hard, shaking it violently.
"Well, the suspensions been fucked and I think Justin's gonna be pretty pissed." I said cheekily.
Twilight only looked at me, giving off a feeling of how the hell did that just happen.
"What...Who...are you?!" She asked, taken aback by the events that just unfolded.
"Love, I'm the sour jackass that found you in my backyard." I said plainly.
"Do you even know what you just did?" She asked seriously.
"Two acts of assault, One count of resisting arrest, One count of intoxication in public, and some possible speeding tickets, Why?"
She only looked at me, her eyes giving away her thoughts. "I can't understand you."
"Whats to understand. Shit happens and I take care of things my way."
She only looked through the window of her side without responding.
"You hungry?" I asked looking at the dashboard clock. 12:00
"What makes you think that?" She asked, almost on cue an audible grumble came from her stomach.
"I'm not stupid." I said, pulling off the freeway onto the normal street and into the parking lot of a diner.
I parked and we got out. As I walked in Twilight followed close behind. The sign by the entrance read 'please be seated'. I took the closest booth to the door and waited. Twilight sat across from me looking over the menu.
"You probably want to look at the salads."
One club and a salad later, we waited at the booth for the waitress do come back for the plates.
"How can you eat another animal?" Twilight asked, fairly disgusted.
"It's nature, besides plants are living things too so it doesn't really matter." I answered looking off toward the kitchen.
"I never thought of it that way." Twilight said. "I guess they are."
"You done?" I asked, not even looking toward her.
"Yeah."
"Great, let's go." I said, stepping out of the booth.
"What, you're not going to pay?" She asked looking serious.
"No. There a problem?"
"Yes there's a problem!" She went on. "That's wrong."
"You do realize what I did not... twenty minutes ago right?"
She folded her arms and refused to move.
"Come on."
"No."
"Twilight, we're leaving."
"No."
Done arguing, I picked her and put her over my shoulder.
"What are you doing?!" She panicked, squirming.
"Dealing with shit my way." I answered, ignoring the other people beginning to stare.
"Put me down."
"Nope."
"Why are so okay with this?"
"I've carried you three times today, I honestly don't care."
I walked through the lot to the car. As I got to it I set her down and got in the driver seat. She sat down in the passenger seat, arms folded, scowling.
"Why do you have to do things like that?
"Why does your ass look so good?" I joked.

Chapter 8: Condolences (Raw)
I walked toward the small clearing by the side of the road and watched the cars go by. I held the gun firmly in my hand and took a deep breath. I knelt down and brought the revolver level with my sight. I looked over every scratch and sighed.
I could hear the faint footsteps of someone on the grass. I turned my head and saw Twilight out of the corner of my eye, watching attentively.
"Hey Twilight." I called to her.
"Hm,"
"You know what this is?" I asked her, holding the weapon awkwardly in the palm of my hand.
"No, what is it?" She asked curiously.
I snickered and answered her. "The worst thing in history to come into the hands of man."
I turned back to her. She now stood beside me, looking down at me nervously.
I looked back at the weapon and breathed. "I've been on both ends of these things more times than I could count. Every time the guy on the receiving end got shot."
"Does it...Hurt?" She asked looking at it.
I thought about it for moment and smirked. "Like hell."
Silence fell for a few painfully long moments before it was broken. "Twilight,"
"Huh?"
"You know what I'm thinking about right now, don't you?"
After a long pause she finally answered. "Maybe."
"Care to take a guess?"
"No."
Another moment of silence came, only to be broken again.
"You don't want to know how many times I've thought this over."
"How many?" She asked, taking that dare.
"Five,"
"So, are you going to do it?" She asked in a worried tone.
"No...No, that would be the easy way out."
I got up and walked back toward the lot, tucking the gun into the back of my pants. As I got back to the car a man came out of the restaurant, angrily walking toward us.
"HEY! BUDDY! You think your funny running out without paying?" He yelled as he got closer.
I turned to him as he finally got up to us and stood in front of me. His eyes seemed to widened as he finally saw how large I was. At Six-four I stood around six inches taller than him.
I looked at him then over to Twilight. "Oh, sorry about that." I said as I dug into my pocket and pulled out my wallet. I looked through it and handed him a twenty. "That should cover it, keep the change."
"Uh, Thanks." He said hurrying back toward the restaurant.
I looked back to Twilight who gave me an approving smile. I opened my door and sat back in the driver seat and pulled the revolver back out and stuffed it under the seat. As we pulled out of the lot back onto the road Twilight turned to me.
"Back there, you called me Twilight...So does that mean you believe me now?" She asked, seeming to finally feel comfortable.
"No, I didn't get any other name out of you so I went with it. There a problem?" I asked, focusing on the road.
"Nope, no problem at all." She answered smiling.

Chapter 9: A drink and story time (Raw)
After dropping the car off I received a proper "What the fuck man!" from Justin. and gave an explanation in detail just what happened, leaving out the diner part,
"I thought you were just gonna bang the chick and drive around, not tear my car to shit."
I laughed at it and grinned. "Guess you thought wrong."
"Man, fuck you."
I started walking off with Twilight in tow, "Yeah yeah."
We walked through my door, I closed it behind me and looked through my cabinets while Twilight sat on the couch. Finding What I was looking for I sat down beside Twilight. She looked at the glass bottle filled with a clear liquid.
"What's that?" She asked looking at the unmarked bottle.
"Little taste of home."
7:00 am . My clock went off.
"This is K109.4, The Men's radio, taking request of the old and the new. If you not familiar with our station, you call us and make a request at any time and well play it like this."
My eyes pried open and I felt my head ache and saw the bottle out of the corner of my eye on the nightstand by my clock, half empty. My breathing felt strained and my mouth was sticky. "Why does my mouth taste like a-"
I stopped as I looked down to see Twilight beside me half naked, her head on my abdomen, her arm across me holding firmly.
I laid my head back down on my pillow . "Well shit," I muttered.
I tried to think back and remember what happened. I took a sip, Twilight wanted to try some, then...blur. "Why can I never remember this kind of stuff."
I felt the weight of my stomach lessen and I looked back down and saw Twilight begin to wake up. She rubbed her eyes and blinked a few times. We made eye contact and silence fell.
I was the one to break it. "Um...morning?"
She looked around my room and stopped when she looked at my calendar. "What's that?" She asked looking at the small photo the hung on the corner of it.
I stretched out my arm and grabbed the photo and looked at it. Two men stood next to each other smiling with there arms around each others shoulders holding beers. Each man wore a leather jacket adorned with multiple patches. Me with a lengthened mohawk sleeked back. A smaller man with light skin and long black hair, a hachimaki covering his eyes.
"It's nothing." I said, trying to bury it.
She got up and lied down, up next to me looking at it. "Come on, I want to know. Who's this?" She asked grabbing the photo from me and looking at the men.
I took a breath and looked at her. "Comfortable?"
"Very" She smiled.
"Alright," I said thinking back further and further

Chaptor 10: Memories (Raw)
Six men rode down the road, each on their own bike. They were followed by a man at the front. Each wore a leather jacket with a wolf on the back and had numerous patches. What made the man at the lead so different was that above his crest on his back it read, "Alpha male".
All the men belonged to a group known as "The Wolf pack" and they were riding toward the local detention center. They came around and pulled up, a man stood outside the gate waiting. As they pulled up he began striding toward the leader of the group.
"We kept it warm for you" He said, pulling out a jacket.
The man took it and threw it on but still looked down, uneasy.
The leader dug into his pocket and pulled out a small white and red cloth, met with a grin from the other man. "Welcome back friend-brother." I said as he tied it around his face.
"Let us bask in glory, honor and booze my brother." He said in a thick accent.
He got on the back of my bike and we rode off. "Hey, Huang!" I called through the roar of the bikes.
"Yeah?"
"We got a surprise for you."
He let out a wicked smile. "What? Am I getting some more wings?" He asked looking down at the small set of patches near his collar, a red one, a brown one, a yellow one, and a white one.
We came back to our grungy old clubhouse where a dozen other men stayed. Music played and kegs emptied.
The men howled, signifying the leaders presence and we walked to the counter and were greeted by the bar keep.
"What'll it be Jefe?"
"Usual." I stated then I looked over to Huang.
"Usual."
The keep , pulled out two small shot glasses and a bottle of Guinness. He then pulled out a small white bottle and poured the sake into both. I grabbed the Guinness and one of shot glasses and knocked it back while Huang did the same.
I turned to him. "You know your lucky we found this shit you yellow fuck."
"Well I guess that means you cared enough to get it you giant Scottish bastard"
We glared at each other then broke out laughing. "We missed you, you know that?"
"I bet"
We walked over to the small stage in the front of the room and I stood up and got there attention.
"Brothers! Are long awaited friend has returned!"
The group began to pump fists into the air and bark.
"ROO! ROO! ROO! ROO! ROO!"
"Alright alright, settle down assholes. And do to the unfortunate death of our vice president Marcus, the need for his replacement has arisen. Huang?"
The group tuned to him. "I would be honored." He stated, stepping up to the stage.
I grabbed his arm and raised it into the air and the group began to howl again.
"May your reign be long prosperous, and kick some fuckin' ass!" I yelled over the group.
Back to the present I lay there, Twilight listened contently. A smile on my face remembering the brothers.
"And then what?" She asked.
My smile faded and I closed my eyes. She seemed to notice and remained silent. I got out of bed and quickly got dressed. I went through my closet and pulled out my leather jacket, covered in patches.
"Where are you-"
"NOWHERE!" I snapped at Twilight, slamming the door.

Chapter 11: A brisk stroll (Raw)
I walked through the front door and down the street, my pace heightened. All I could do was remember what I'd spent over a year trying to forget. The day I lost my closest friend and the closest thing to a family I had.
I sat in the clubhouse going over a business deal with an annoying man for protection. I was interrupted by one of the groups enforcers who got word of truck coming our way. The truck was full of members of our rival group, The Big cats.
"So, the Big pussies want to have some fun." I said in an overzealous fashion. I gathered the group of brothers I had usually for enforcing and waited out front for an expected brawl between the groups.
What happened instead would forever haunt me. As the truck came by there was only two men in it. One driving and the other in the back doing something. What was really strange was the truck was dragging something. When I took a closer look I saw it was instead a person, battered and strung up being dragged by the truck down the road at high speed. The man in the back pulled the pin holding the chain dragging him and they road off, the one in the back extending his middle finger yelling "FUCK YOU!"
As I walked into the road I saw who was being dragged. Huang. I had sent him across town to do some collecting. I ran to him and knelt beside him. His face was torn up and beaten. He was covered in dirt, grime and blood. His jacket was torn to hell and he had his feet bound together with a sharpened piece of pipe through his legs.
He opened his eyes and looked to me. Tears were flowing and he gasped trying to speak. I tried to help him up but he screamed out in pain. I tried to pick him up but he screamed out in pain again. He lied there and I could do nothing. He grabbed my arm tightly and began to cough up blood. It ran down his mouth and he began to close his eyes. I only watched, unable to speak.
His head dropped and he let go of my arm. Rage building, I jumped onto my bike and road off. I didn't know what else to do, I just ran. That night I would drink my sorrows away in a bar, from where I sat I overheard a small group. A group of big cats drunkenly gloating over jumping and beating a wolf. The leader kept gloating how he strung him up and dragged him down the road in front of their chapter.
I walked over to them, my hand in a trembling fist.
"The fuck you want?" He asked laughing with the two other men beside him.
I brought my hand to my back and pulled out a pistol I aimed and shot both the men and aimed at the leader. I ignored the screams and chatter from around the room and continued aiming at him, his eyes wide with fear.
"Get up." I ordered in a deep harsh town. He stood up and put up his hands in the air. I stepped up to him and held the muzzle of the gun to his forehead. I flipped it around and swung it hard at his face, and felt it connect with a sickening crack. I was satisfied with the resulted broken nose and his cry in pain. He held his hand to his profusely bleeding nose and knelt down cowering. I put the gun back into my belt and stood over him.
"Get up." I repeated.
He staggered to his feet only to be met with my fist. He fell back down.
"Get up."
He began to push himself off the ground and was met with me slamming his head into the side of his table. He then lay there on the ground, trying to get back up. I kicked him over onto his back and he looked at me through glazed eyes.
I pulled the pistol back out and pointed it to his head. A grin plastered to his face.
He spoke weakly. "Go...fuck...your sel-BANG"
"Sorry, didn't catch that."
I heard the sound of sirens and ran out the back. I got to my back on my bike and road off, going nowhere but far away.
After hours of walking I had reached where I wanted to go. I stood in front of a headstone and looked at it, though I felt like I was looking through it.
"Sore wa nagaiai watashi no yūjin sa rete iru. Mōshiwakearimasenga, watashi wa anata o tasukeru koto ga dekimasendeshita yo" I said to it aloud.
I sat there in silence and calmed myself. I read the name over and over.
"Huang"
I heard someone pull up the gravel path and stop. I didn't turn to them, I only tried to ignore them. That was until I heard a familiar voice.
"I figured you were here."
I turned to see Justin walking from his shit normal car.
"Yeah,"
"You know, you have to let go of things sometimes."
"No."
"Come on man."
"No."
"Please?" Came a familiar feminine voice from behind me. I turned to see Twilight.
I took a deep breath and looked her in the eyes and felt a deep feeling of faith.
I turned to the grave and spoke a final word to it. "Otōto sayōnara."
As I walked to the car I felt Twilight grab my arm and follow me. I looked down to her and saw her give a warm smile.
A smile found its way to my face and I remembered Huang's day. He gave the same smile when I held his arm up at his promotion. That night we drank and laughed and grew closer than ever as brothers.
I sat in the back seat of the car and nodded off, Twilight's head resting on my shoulder.

Chapter 12: Long time, no see (Raw)
As I follow Huang into the parking lot I look around the other people standing outside. A mixture of people standing outside waiting for others, smoking, or getting fresh air. We parked our bikes next to each other and kicked out the stands. We each sat outside on our bikes.
"I don't know man, I'm not really feeling this place." I said nervously digging through my pocket and pulling out a pack of smokes.
"Calm down man, don't be such a baby. Besides, this place has plenty of chicks to go around, it'll be fun." He grinned, his eyes covered by his hachimaki.
I pull out a cigarette and hand the pack to Huang who does the same. Holding them in our mouths we each dig into our pockets to grab lighters.
I light mine first and take a long drag and look over to Huang. He sat there flicking his lighter, frustrated at it refusing to work. "Come on dammit."
I chuckle and hold mine out to be met by Huang's. He grins and takes a long drag from his.
After a few minutes I drop mine on the ground and crush the stump under my boot. I get off my bike and start for the door. "Alright man, let's find some pussy to prod."
He shakes his head and smiles, following. We push through the door and take in the seen. Dimmed lights, groups of grown men drunk laughing, women receiving drinks from men way too old for them, people laughing and having a good time.
We make our way to the counter. "What'll it be?" The bar keep asks placing down a few mugs of beer.
I answer first. "Irish car bomb."
Huang thinks for a minute, "Eh white russian."
We watch as he sifts through the cabinets and pull a mug, and glass and a shot glass. Then the good stuff, a bottle of Vodka, a bottle of Baileys, a bottle of Kahlúa, a bottle of Jameson, and a stout. Baileys,Vodka, and Kahlúa in the normal galss. Guinness in the mug, Jameson and Baileys in the shot glass.
He slides each of us our requests and turns to another patron. I turn to Huang who's looking over his shoulder at a table of girls. I nudge his shoulder and he notices the drinks and grabs his. I grab mine and the shot glass and hold it over the mug.
"Otoko wa, watashitachi wa ashita ni watatte okasa shiyou to shite iru." Huang states in a wicked smile.
I smile and drop the shot glass in the mug. "Ní Nuair a bhíonn againn?"
(When aren't we?)
A quick laugh was followed by each of us chugging down our drinks leaning back, more and more and more. We slam the empty glasses down and look around for the prey we've been stalking. Huang pushes his hachimaki onto his forehead and looks back toward the table. He nods his head back at the girls. "Woof,"
I shake my head smiling and see two of them walking over to us. Huang rolls his squinted eyes and looks over to me and I shake my head. the girls, a brunette with presumably C's and a blonde with about the same. They stop and seem to look us over.
"So, are you two bikers or something?" The blonde asks.
I look back to Huang. "What told you that the jacket, the way we drink, or the fact we rode here on bikes?" Me and Huang share a laugh and look back at them. "What are you having?"
"Don't know maybe some of you." The brunette replies.
I look back to Huang who has a another wicked smile.
"Can we see your bikes?"
"Alright then ladies." Huang says getting up from his seat and walking over to the door. I follow with the brunette in tow of me and we sit down on our bikes in the lot.
"Looks like they are?" The blonde says as she sat down on Huang's bike in his lap. "And just what do you do for the group?"
Huang barely replies through his heavier breathing. "Secretary."
The brunette looks to me and and does the same. "And you?"
Taking a deep breath. "Vice president."
"Hm, looks like we have quite the catch here." The blonde says in a sultry tone.
"Yeah."
The blonde leans in and kisses Huang and his hachimaki falls down covering his eyes. "Damn"
The brunette begins to lean in. "Wake up." I hear faintly.
"Wake up tough guy."
I slowly open my eyes to see Twilight sitting next to me looking up at me with a warm smile. "We're almost back."
"Great" I groaned rubbing my eyes. I look back down at Twilight into her deep purple eyes. I lean in and kiss her.
"Whoa. Um...What was that for?" She asks still smiling.
"Nothing."

Chapter 13: What to do? (Raw)
As the car pulled up and stopped, I looked around to see the same small neighborhood I'd been in this morning. Across the street was my house, next door to it was Jeremy's, and behind me was Justin's. Same old, same old. I thanked Justin and walked back to house with Twilight.
I stepped and sat down on the coach in my living room. I began to think for a moment. "If she's actually Twilight she'd get bored pretty easily around here."
"There's a shelf over there with some books you might like to read." I said pointing toward the small yet extensive book case by the TV."
She looked over to the shelf and sat down in front of it and began to read the title aloud.
"Religions and cultures of the world,"
"Cryptozoology: the world deemed fake,"
"Myths and Legends,"
"Signs and Symbols,"
"Native lore and beliefs,"
My mind raced at the last one. "Whatever you do, don't read the Wendigo article in the Algonquian section!"
"Why? Equestria has Wendigos, Why not?" She asked curiously.
"Different Wendigo... just, if you want to be able to sleep for the next forty eight hours don't read it." I warned.
"Okay, I won't read it." She said trying to calm me down.
I let out a sigh and lie down trying to think for a moment. "What If let her use the computer for that, It'd be endless and she'd read for hours on end."
Another sickening thought crept into my mind. "Hope I can figure out how to turn safe search on before she runs out of reading materials."
My eyes began to feel heavy, but I resisted sleep. For a time.
I could hear a faint revving and felt like I was shaking slightly. I began to open my eye's and looked around. I was in the back of a van or SUV wearing a dark green hoodie and it was late at night. Twilight lay next to me asleep wearing a jacket and so was who ever was riding shotgun. The driver sat, attentively focused on the rode.
He reached down and grabbed an elongated can and drank from it. He put it back and twitched his head to the side.
"What, uh what's...what's going on." I asked trying to shake off sleep.
The driver turns to me. "Wassup man, we're almost at the cabin. Eh, I just wanted to say thanks for inviting us again." It was Justin.
"Invite you. Invite you to what?" I asked confused.
"Remember? You got a call from your dad, hunting?"
"The fuck are you talking about?" I asked groggily. "I haven't talked to my dad in years."
Twilight began to stir. "Are we there yet?"
"Soon," Justin stated. "Soon."
"Shut up man, I'm trying to sleep." Jeremy said angrily.
I processed what I hear. "Dad, hunting, why would I bring Twilight?"
"So just what was it you wanted to show me?" She asked laying her head on my shoulder and somehow answering my question.
I quickly thought of what i would show her. "The trail? The lake? The view on the cliff at night?" I decided to play along and wing it for some time. "Um, you'll see."
She only smiled and went back to sleep. "What the fuck is going on?" I wondered as I tried to go back to sleep.
After stopping in the clearing in front of a cabin and getting out we were greeting by a tall, thin, man with a shaved head and a small beard.
"Hey there kiddo." He said welcoming us, arms spread out.
I ignored the hug and helped unpack the stuff we brought into the cabin.
Justin walked over to him. "Uh, hello, I'm Justin. It's nice to meet you." He said shaking his hand.
"Well it's nice to meet you too." He said smiling.
Jeremy came over and did the same. "Name's Jeremy. It's nice to meet you Mr. Mink."
"You too Jeremy. Oh, and you can call me Scott."
"Well it's nice to meet you Scott." Twilight jumped in.
"And you must be Twilight from what I've heard." He said.
"Yes," She replied happily.
"Well It's wonderful to meet you all."
"Yeah, great, now that you know him can we just get some unpacking done?" I added irritably. Carrying a box of food into the cabin. I stopped and looked around the open living room of it adorned with pelts, hides, and other trophies. "Hey Twilight! Don't come in here got it?"
"Alright!" She yelled from outside.
"Well at least she seems to trust my judgement." I muttered. I set the box down on the table near the window and went back out to see Justin and Jeremy bring back the last of it. I followed them back into the living room
"Alright, that's the last of it bro." Justin said setting it on the table with the rest of the gear and food.
"Now let's get down to the fun stuff. I want to find a bear man." Jeremy stated eagerly.
I began to laugh at that. "Ha, yeah good luck with that."
"What? You don't think I have the bolas to take on one." He asked puffing his chest out.
"Follow me." I said as I made my way to a set of stairs and walked down them into the cellar. There in the basement hung multiple drying pelts and in the corner stood a ten foot Grizzly. It stood back on it hind legs and it mouth was open in growl.
"Holy shit." Justin exclaimed at it's sight.
"Nah, he doesn't look so tough." Jeremy went on.
"You'd think so wouldn't you?" My father said out of nowhere which caused both Jeremy and Justin to jump. "When I was a little older than you boys I was out stalkin' some deer, then I came across this big guy" He went on motioning toward the bear. "I brought my rifle level to him but he knocked it out of my hands with a powerful swipe from his paw and gave me this." He said pulling back his sleeve to show off the scar running along his forearm.
I started going back up the stairs, but I could still hear him. "So I pulled out my knife and I got him right...here." I could tell he was pointing toward the bears neck since he's told that story dozens of times.
"Damn man"
I walked out the door to see Twilight waiting on the steps looking off at the trees. I sat down beside her.
"You know I grew up out here." I said looking around.
"I never would of figured."
I stood up and breathed in deeply and looked down the pathways into the forest. "Come on." I said walking toward the path.
She hurried to my side and followed. After a few minutes of minor silence she interrupted it. "So why did you kiss me after that morning?"
"I don't know, I guess I felt you cared and liked me."
"Does that mean you like me?" She asked.
"I don't know. I don't know what I feel."
"Well maybe this will change your mind." she said as she grabbed onto my arm and kissed my cheek.
Another moment of silence came and went. "You can be a bit of a hand full but yeah, I guess so." I smiled.

Chapter 14: Things just got interesting (Raw)
As we walked down the path we remained in silence for the entire trip. We began to make an uphill climb and after a few minutes of the trek we were met by a small expanse and an edge. I sat down on a rock near the edge and looked at the view of the small lake down below. Miles of open wood could be seen from up there. The air felt crisp and cold but fresh none the same.
Twilight beside me looked down the drop. "Yikes."
I laughed a bit remembering the time I actually fell down that. "When I was a kid, I tried to get a closer look and I lost my footing and fell the whole way down. You learn a lot from experience around here, but nothing can teach you what that's like."
She looked back at me with a bit of worry but was cut off when the echoing sound came from back down the path."BANG"
I looked at her startled expression. "Hold on." I said waiting. "BANG"
"FUCK!"
"Welp, hunting has been ended for the while." I laughed. "Everything for a quarter mile must be gone now."
"Why? What was that?" she asked uneasily.
"Give me a second."
"OH COME THE FUCK ON!"
"That's Justin." I said with a smile. I shook my head and sat back down.
Twilight sat down and went back to admiring the view. "I hope so."
Later that night, Twilight sat on the couch reading, a light next to her. I sat next to her thinking about just how I even got here.
"Was I wasted or something when I agreed to that?" I wondered.
A loud and panicked pounding came from the door.
"Who could be out here this late?" Twilight asked.
I got up and walked toward the door. "I'm more worried about why someone was out here."
*Give criticism, don't just thumb down and leave. Give me a reason you don't like it.
I opened the door to see a frightened man wearing dirty tattered clothes and covered in grime with dried blood down his arm. "Oh thank god! Please, you've got to help me."
"Whoa hold on. The hell is going on?" I asked looking out the door.
"Please, there's no time! My friend, he's, I don't," He kept on.
"Stay here." I said walking back toward the bedrooms. "You too." I said passing by Twilight in the living. I pounded on the doors and Jeremy, Justin and my father came out of their rooms still in their sleep wear.
"What's going on?" My father asked worriedly.
"Front door."
We walked back to the door to find it empty and him instead sitting in the living room.
"I told you to stay." I said to Twilight.
"He needed help, besides it's rude to leave gusts waiting at the door."
Jeremy stood next to me. "The hell happened to you?"
The man sat there trembling from fear and cold."M-my friends...We were stuck out there...We didn't have anything...H-he..."
"Alright hold on just a second." My father jumped in. "What were you even doing out here? An just who are you?"
"My names Mike and I was camping with my friends. We got lost and...one of my friends got hurt, he...Broke his leg. Another one of my friends, Dylan, said that he wasn't going to live and said we needed to get rid of him."
"Well then what the hell happened?" Justin asked, arms folded.
"Dylan, he started acting all scared. After some time, he was sitting in the camp. He was eating something like a...Raccoon."
A look of disgust came over the group. "These people must of really been in the shit if he was that desperate." I thought to myself.
"I went off to try to find...Something, but when I got back...My friend who had a broken leg...Was dead. He looked Like...like...a bear or something...ate him."
Another wave of disgust came over the group, though my father only looked down at him with a look of stone. Twilight held a hand to her mouth.
My father looked to me with serious eyes. I nodded without a word and walked back to his room. I stepped through the door and opened the case on the wall. Inside the case was a number of rifles and shotguns. I gathered them and a few boxes of ammunition. I carried them back to the group and set them down on the table.
"Whoa, what is all this for?" Twilight asked without getting an answer.
I pulled back the lever of a rifle and dug my hand into a box, pulling out a handful of bullets. I pushed each bullet into the rifle's compartment and felt the pinch on my thumb of the bullet clicking into place. After loading a satisfactory amount of ammo into it, I slipped on my boots and donned my hooded jacket.
"Where are you going?" Twilight asked worriedly.
"To see if there's anyone else who needs help." I said as I walked over to her. I looked down at, seriousness brimming from my expression.
She only looked down to her feet. "Please be careful."
I walked out the door into the forest. "Hold up man!"
Justin and Jeremy caught up to with their own weapons and began to follow me.
"You know we can't let you have all the fun." Jeremy stated eagerly. "Besides, he said bear and I'm in."

Chapter 15: Discovery (Raw)
I could only shake my head. "One of these days he's going to get himself killed for shit like that."
We walked through the thick line of trees for some time. After a while we neared an open area and saw what looked like the remains of a campsite. What was unsettling was the stench of the area.
"Aw man, smells like rotting garbage and shit." Justin whined.
"That stuff smells worse than that duffel bag of kush I have in my basement." Jeremy piped in.
I let out a long sigh. "Fuckin' lightweights." I muttered. I walked over to one of the tents and noticed the smell become stronger.
On the other side of the tent was only one of the most disgusting thing I'd ever seen. There, sprawled out on the ground, lied a corpse, twisted and torn open. Flies buzzed about around us and the stench of the rotting flesh made it difficult to hold my stomach.
Justin came around to the side and noticed it as well. "OH FUCK!" He yelled as he jumped back from it and covered his mouth with his arm.
"What? What'd you find?" Jeremy asked as he came around. As he looked down at the remains he quickly lurched forward and slumped down, emptying his stomach onto the ground.
"Don't do that in front of me man." Justin said as he began to gag. He stumbled for a moment and finally let it out too.
After seeing all this I staggered over to a nearby tree and leaned against it. I finally released my stomach into a bush. As I felt my midriff twist in pain from the exertion I clutched my gut. Spitting the last of it onto the ground I walked back over to the body and crouched down by it, holding an arm to my mouth.
"Man that's fucked up! I didn't know a bear could do that shit!" Jeremy said as he wiped his mouth.
I looked it over. "They don't. Ripping and crushing yeah, but this...it's too intact."
"Mountain lion?" Justin asked swatting away flies.
"No. They kill by biting at the neck and tear off chunks."
"Wolves?" Jeremy asked leaning onto his knees.
"Uh-uh, they rip off pieces and drag it away." I said as I looked around to see scattered pieces and blood over the spot. "Too much here."
"Well what else?" Justin asked looking around uneasily. He gripped his rifle tighter and looked around.
"Don't know, looks like something gutted him and bled him out." I said looking at the open cavity of his chest. I noticed the wounds along the top seemed to go inward and ribs broke along grouped lines. "I think someone did him in." I announced.
Both Jeremy and Justin shot me scared looks. "And if that's what happened, then who ?" Justin asked.
The sound of a branch snapping startled us and we looked in its direction to see something dark slip behind cover. I raised my rifle and motioned my hand for them to move forward. Justin stepped toward the spot and we heard a rustling from the opposite direction. We all turned to it but stood still. Me and Jeremy crept toward the direction of the sound.
"Who the fu-" was all we heard before a gasping gargle replaced it. We turned back to see Justin gone.
I walked back to where Justin had been. Behind the cover of a tree He laid sprawled out with his throat savagely ripped open, blood beginning to pool. "Aw piss." I said looking down at him.
"AAAaaaaah! "
I turned to see something quickly dragging off Jeremy into the trees. I ran after but lost sight and looked around frantically.
"Shit!Shit!Shit!Shit!Shit!" My mind raced.
I looked around for a moment and lost my footing. I tumbled downhill losing grip on my weapon and fell. I hit down hard into a ditch and looked around groggily. I pushed myself to my feet and stumbled forward into a tree and fell back down.
Everything began to fade into a darkness
As my eyes opened I looked around to see I was in a dark cavern. My hands were bound and I was hanging from my arms from the roof. My eyes shot around the room in a panic.
On the floor on the side of other side of the room lied three bodies. They all looked horribly mangled and ripped open. Blood and rotting pieces were scattered around. Each still retaining a grotesque face ; Justin, Jeremy, and my father.
"Oh god no, no no no!"
The voice was silenced by a loud. "Thwack !"
I slowly turned my head, my heart beating rapidly. I looked to see the man who had been at the cabin lying on the ground, a hatchet to his chest. A large figure with a deer skull over his head and foliage over his shoulders sat, gnawing and ripped off a piece of his arm, eating it. I shut my eyes and my mind ran wild.
"OH GOD, I'M GONNA DIE! I won't be able to say goodbye. Twilight. Oh god!"
I opened my eyes to him looking toward me. He grabbed the axe and slowly walked over to me. He walked past me and to my left I saw someone else hanging from the ceiling. Twilight.
He raised the axe and swung.
"NO!"
I looked around my living room to see Twilight looking at me nervously. She on the ground by the book shelf. I felt my heart steadily calm in pace but felt every beat pound in my chest. I sat up and held my head in my hands.
"What?" Twilight asked closing her book.
"Uh, nothing," I said as I got up from the couch. "Nothing."
I walked into the bathroom and turned the knob on the sink. I let the warm water run on my hands and I rubbed it into my eyes. I let out a long sigh and walked back into the living room. I sat down at the computer desk and patted Leven on the head.
"Something wrong, what?" Twilight asked looking over to me.
"Just don't worry about it alright." I said pinching the bridge of my nose.
"No." She said taking a seat on the couch. "You have a problem and I'm going to help you."
I walked back over to the couch and took a seat next to her.
"Now whats troubling you?" She asked.

Chapter 16: "Hi, my is...
I told her of the dream. Every excruciating detail, form the car ride and the walk, to the camp and...the cave. I lent back in my seat on the couch and furrowed my brow at the thought. I felt like my mind was going to get to me long before old bones and robe.
"So, you felt scared at the sight of all this." Twilight asked.
"...I guess that's a little obvious. Yeah." I said looking off.
"And, just what was it that you were so scared about?" She asked keeping the the lame therapist role.
"The fact I was going to die?" I decided. I pondered my own answer.
"Hmm, I think I may just understand your impulse." She stated.
"Oh, and that would be?" I asked with a raised brow. "I don't think I like where this may be going."
"You can't stand to lose what you care about." She went on.
I let her answer set in for minute. It made sense to a lot of it. The last thing I saw was Twilight...die .
"That's why you came back. You generally cared and wanted to help."
"I guess so." I said feeling like an idiot for not realizing it myself. Then again I don't understand any of the shit I feel so I probably wouldn't anyway.
"You aren't just some pent up ball of anger, you care for those you hold dear." She said looking over to me with a smile.
"Alright, enough of this inward journey bullshit." I said getting off the couch. I looked down at the time on the cable box on the TV. 4:30.
She only looked up at me still smiling at her results. "You amaze me at how much you hide."
"You hungry?" I asked tossing my jacket on the couch.
"Neither of us have eaten since yesterday. Nourishment would be nice." She said as she got up from the couch. She looked down at the stack of books she pulled off the shelf. "I'll get to those later."
I opened the door and walked out onto the porch and through Jeremy's lawn. Twilight walked out followed through up to Jeremy's door. When she stepped up to I knocked on the door.
"Why are we here?" She asked.
"Sunday, family dinner." I answered looking off.
"Family?" She said looking up to me.
"Neighbors, friends, close enough. Around here, were all like family." I said motioning my arm toward the houses around us. "When this is all you have...you learn to love it."
"You don't have anything else?"
I looked down to her for a moment and let all the life come back to memories. "My parents split when I was eight. My mom took my brother and my dad took me. When I was seventeen, I hitchhiked all the way down here just so I could see them. The last time I saw my brother he was one, he didn't know who I was. And my mom, she thought I was just some lost kid."
My words sunk in and I sat down on the porch. I thought of all the anger and sadness I felt when my said "May I ask just who you may be?". I stared at my old scuffed shoes and thought about how I just walked off dumbstruck.
"I don't know how many times I've had to just walk away and ignore things."
"Running doesn't solve anything."
"What else is there? My own mother didn't know who I was. My whole life was just one big fuck up." I snapped at her. "I had nothing, I came all the way down here just for nothing."
"Then what?"
" I went from place to place, did odd jobs, lived how I could. I was twenty before I finally made it up to here. The house was abandoned and I hunkered down and kept doing what I did. I lived alone, ate when I could and earned what I could."
"What changed that?" She asked sitting down next to me.
"I found them, the brothers. They became the closest thing to a family I had. I worked my way up the group, I fought tooth and nail, I did things that made me hate myself. But I made money off it and that's all I really cared about. It took me two years to make enough to actually buy the house."
Twilight stayed silent. I looked over to her and she had her arms wrapped around her legs.
"I met these people and they welcomed me." I chuckled. "They welcomed me and help me to my feet when I got knocked down. I made my friends and shit happens. Now that the group's dissolved they're all I really had left."
"So they became your family?" She asked standing up.
"Basically," I said getting up too. "I still miss my blood and I hope I can make things change."
"Sounds like you have a lot of work to do." She said looking to the door.
"Your damn right I do. Now listen. While were here, don't say anything about Equestria and ponies and magic and all that shit. Alright?"
She nodded and I knocked on the door again. I small Hispanic woman opened the door. "Oh! Hello James, its nice to see you see you again. Come in, dinner is almost ready. And I see you brought someone, how lovely." She said stepping back.
"You too Ms.Hernandez, This is Twilight." I said introducing her.
"Hello"
"Ah, its nice to meet you Twilight." She said motioning for us to come in.
Twilight walked through the door first and and I followed only to be pulled aside by Jeremy's mother.
"She's a lovely girl, I have a good feeling about her James."
"Yeah you and me too." I said stepping through the living room and into the kitchen.
Twilight stood near the table waiting.
"Hey Twi, how 'bout you help Ms.Hernandez here with dinner." I said.
"That would nice, Oh and James," She said Jeremy's mom said looking over to me. "They're in the backyard."
I nodded and walked through the family room and out into the backyard. I took a few steps from the door and turned around and looked up to see Jeremy and Justin sitting on the roof.
"Wassup man." Justin called down.
"Yo Its my Écossaise homme principale! How's it hangin' bro?" Jeremy called down.
"Fine, you?" I asked walking over to the low chimney and started to climb up.
"Oh you know. Smoked some shit, sweeped some floors there."
I grabbed onto the edge of the roof and hoisted myself up with a grunt. "That's nice."
Justin dug through the cooler they brought up and handed me an open bottle of sierra. I grabbed it and took a long drink.
"So you over that shit from earlier?" Justin asked.
I was still drinking and responded with an extended middle finger.
"I thought so." Justin said taking a seat next to Jeremy.
"Hey man, how is she?" Jeremy asked.
I swallowed. "Who?"
"You know, that bitch thats been following you 'round." Jeremy with a grin.
"Yeah man, don't act like we don't know what's going on." Justin said taking a long drag on a roach.
"I ain't acting, I don't know what the fuck your referring to."
"How does she fuck man?" Justin asked looking attentively at me.
"I don't know, I haven't done anything with her." I said uncertain for myself.
"Oh come on. Don't even try to say nothin's happening. I saw shit myself yesterday." Jeremy boasted.
"Man you didn't see shit." I said sitting down.
"So I didn't see her on the couch with her headlights flashin'?"
"Shut the fuck up." I took another drink and finished it. "That wasn't shit and I mean it, now drop it."
"Whatever."
Twilight walked out the back door. "Boys! It's...ready." She said looking around.
Justin looked down to her. "She's got ass" He said with a cheeky grin.
"Don't I know." I muttered.
"HA! I knew you tapped that." Justin yelled.
Twilight turned around to see us on the roof. "Why are you up there?"
"Don't worry about." I said. "Just go back in, were coming."
She walked back in and I whipped my empty bottle at Justin.
"OW, What the fuck man?"

Chapter 17: A nice family dinner
I walked over to the edge of the roof dropped down from the side holding onto it. I was still a good four feet off the ground. I kicked off and let go, landing on the small spot of pavement with a thud and a small jolt through my legs.
"Come on man." I called up.
"Man, why you gotta dick all the time." Justin griped.
"Don't make me climb back up there and kick your little french ass." I threatened pointing at him.
"OOH, I'm so scared." Justin said shaking his hands in the air.
Jeremy laughed and climbed down next to me. We walked back into the house and I heard a thud behind me. I ignored it walked into the kitchen to see the display of rice, beans, vegetables and beef set out on plates at the table.
"This looks great, I'm hungry enough to eat a horse." Justin said excitedly.
Twilight seemed to cringe at that. We sat down and ate in silence for a small amount of time. That was until Jeremy's mother got curious.
"So, how long have you two been together?"
I choked on the rice I was eating and looked over to Twilight who gave a shrug.
"I uh...I...I don't...um" I couldn't think of an answer.
"Must've been for some time." Justin said with a chuckle.
I shot a look that screamed 'I'm gonna kick your ass' and he stopped and rolled his eye's.
"Were not...wait would...I don't...um..." I still fumbled over my words. My mind panicked trying to find a suitable answer. "Dammit! Dammit! Dammit!" I couldn't help but nervously look to Twilight again.
"It's okay if you feel that private, I don't mind." Jeremy's mother said sweetly. "I was just curious. You too look so cute together."
I felt my face redden and noticed Twilight looking off with a faint blush.
"So Twilight, how did you two meet?"
I covered my face with my hand and my mind ran wild with how embarrassing this is. And in front of Jeremy and Justin at that. "Oh fuck."
"I guess... he kind of, just found me." She answered. I'm glad I wasn't the only person having a rough time with this.
"Hmm, please tell me more. I would love to hear it."
Jeremy and Justin both sat there snickering. I extended my middle finger under the table and mouth out "Shut the fuck up". They both kept finding this funny.
"Well...I was lost and I um, fell and he helped me up and I've been following him since." Twilight explained.
"Ah that's very sweet." Jeremy's mother said.
"This is gonna be loooong ass day." I thought sourly.
"So, Twilight. How come you haven't touched your beef?" Jeremy's mother asked with a minor bit of worry looking down to Twilight plate.
"In a weird way, she's a..." I stopped to find the right word "Vegetarian?" I said looking over to her. She gave small approving nod.
"Oh I'm sorry." Jeremy's mother said.
"It's fine." Twilight said politely. "You wouldn't have known anyway."
"I know a meat she eats." Justin mumbled. Jeremy bit his lip to keep from laughing.
A moment of silence came and was inevitably broken. "So where are you from Twilight?" Jeremy's mother asked.
"Oh you know...not here." Twilight answered.
I took the quick distraction to take a swing and land a hard blow on Justin's upper arm. He let out a whimper, his face in a silent scream.
"Well that was delicious and I'll see you next week Ms.Hernandez." I said getting up from the my half eaten plate.
Twilight got up beside me. "Why? Don't you think that's a little rude?"
I looked down to her and found a stern look and her deep violet eye's. "Alright, we'll stay." I said taking my seat.
"Oh good, maybe I can show Twilight some things and we can talk."
"That would be very kind of you." I said looking over to the guys.
"Yeah why don't you go now ma, we can have dessert in a little bit." Jeremy said finishing his plate.
"Alright, come Twilight, I have so much I can show you from back home when I was a little girl." His mother said getting up and walking toward the living room.
Twilight gave a nervous glance and I motioned for her to follow.
"Hey, you guys want to do something?" Jeremy asked.
"Like what?" Justin asked. "There ain't shit around here."
"I don't know." Jeremy said.
"We could go pick up some bitches or find a party." Justin suggested. "Or just us since Paul Bunyan over here's already got someone."
I looked over to him and once again shot out the finger. He did the same and we sat there for a few minutes.
"Hey I got an Idea, Why don't we just go for a ride and mess around and stuff." Jeremy suggested.
"Whatever." I said getting up. I walked into the living room where Twilight and Jeremy's mother sat on the couch and were talking.
"And when I was about ten I heard all the stories my uncle told about america, it was so-" She was interrupted as I walked in.
"Hey Twi, were gonna go do some stuff you wanna come?"
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
"I'd love to, but I'm really enjoying Ms. Hernandez's stories."
"It's okay Twilight, really. I can tell you more some other time." Ms. Hernandez said with a light smile.
"Okay" Twilight said with a small amount of disappointment.
Me and Ms. Hernandez shared a glance and looked back to Twilight.
"I know: The boys can go out in the yard and play the american football and I could tell you some more if you like." Ms. Hernandez suggested.
Twilight looked up up to me with a smile and wide imploring eyes.
"Yeah sure." I said as my chest felt like it was being turned inside out.
"Oh yea, the ball is over there." Ms. Hernandez said pointing over to a football by the door.
I grabbed the ball and walked out the door taking a quick glance at Twilight who wore a bright smile. I honestly have never felt so warm in all my life. Justin and Jeremy stood outside waiting.
"Alright then, were gonna hold out for a sec."
"Man, when did trade your dick for a pussy?" Justin sneered as he threw the ball across the street.
I caught the ball, took a step forward, and lobbed it to Jeremy. "Will you quit your bitching, seriously . Do you ever just shut the hell up? Man get the sand out your vagina and just shut the fuck up."
"Up yours."
"Why you guy gotta be fightin' and shit?" Jeremy asked worriedly. "Seriously, yesterday morning everything was tight and now you to are hatin' on each other. Why you two be goin' bout shit like that. Why can't you guys just love and not hate?"
Me and Justin looked to each other with raised brows.
"Bro are you baked right now?" Justin asked.
"Maybe," Jeremy said looking around.
"Jesus! " I griped. "Didn't even pass it around, raggity ass motherfucker."
Justin stood there shaking his head, laughing. "Were going to hell aren't we?"
Twilight walked out the front door to see me glaring at a laughing Justin and Jeremy looking off.
"No, you didn't miss a thing." I answered rolling my eyes.
"Come on," Justin said motioning his arm toward an old beater of a car. He looked at me. "You drive bitch."
We went down the road, the radio up and Twilight rode shotgun. The dumb-asses sat in the back screwing around like usual. We passed through downtown, our presence being known.
"Hey hey, guys, check this." Jeremy said reaching under the seat. He pulled out a sleek black paintball gun and had a wild smirk.
"Oh shit! Oooh shit!" Justin chuckled.
"Woah, you takin the piss?" I asked looking over my shoulder.
"Oh am I?" Jeremy said holding it up to his cheek and aiming out the window. We passed by a liquor store and a few faint 'phuts ' led to the white side now having multicolored splats all over it. "Yeah take that beotch!"
"Fucking dumb-asses." I muttered speeding up.
"Aw, man that was sweet." Justin stated with a toothy smile. "Here I want a go."
Jeremy handed him the paintball gun. "This gonna be so fuckin' rad."
"Do you and your friends always do this kind thing?" Twilight asked with a furrowed brow.
"Only when these numb nuts feel like being Gangsta ." I put a goofy, upbeat tone to the last word.
"Alright slow down." Justin ordered.
I looked back at him with a 'the fuck you just say?' expression.
"Just do it asshole."
I let out a breath and eased up on the gas. Justin held the toy weapon out the window with the length of his arm extended. Another few 'phuts ' and a car was covered in bright paint.
"Aw hell yeah" Jeremy exclaimed.
"Alright, your turn big guy." Justin held out the toy to me.
I looked down to Twilight. She wore a disapproving glance and a stern face. I sighed, "No."
"Oh come on you big pussy."
"No."
"Pussy."
"Fuck you."
"Pussy." Justin sung out looking off.
"Up yours."
"Pussy" Jeremy jumped in mimicking Justin.
"Oh don't even start, asshole."
"Pussy " They sung out.
Twilight let out an irritated breath.
Justin and Jeremy stated chanting it.
"PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY!"
Something in me snapped. "Fine, give me that fucking thing right now!" I barked. Twilight looked nervously over to me. I rolled my window down all the way and grabbed the paintball gun. "Twilight you take the wheel."
"Wait, do what?" She asked nervously.
"Put your hand on this steering wheel and if we start going off the road or something." I explained as pushed my myself up from my seat and slid out the window of the car, sitting on the frame. "You know what? Fuck it. Justin you take the wheel."
"On it bitch." He said leaning between the front seats and placing a hand on the steering wheel.
I took the chance to raise my knee and hit him in the jaw. "OW you fucker!"
"Oh suck the tears off my dick ya mudfucker."
I could see Twilight cringing at how crude and harsh my language was through the windshield. I held the gun in one hand while the other held onto the car for balance. I spotted a group of guys standing near a car and held out the paint based weapon at them. One of them spotted me and started rushing to the side of the car.
' phut-phut-phut '
Paint covered the car and nearby wall, I even managed to hit one of them. I slipped back into the car and tossed the paint weapon into the back seat and pressed my foot down on the gas. "And if either of you assfucks try that again I'm gonna ram my foot so far up your taints you'll wish you'd been fixed."
I looked over to Twilight. Instead of shock I found disappointment. I could feel my heart sink at her sulking. I leaned back in my seat and let the self hate flow.
"You fucking asshole! You like her and this is what do right in front of her? Do you know what kind of bastard you look like? The fuck is wrong with you!?"
Something caught my my attention. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a car speeding up to us in the rear view mirror. It was covered in splotches of paint and one of them leaned out the window holding something. He ran his hand along it and pointed it toward us. Urgency kicked in.
"Shit, get down." I yelled as I turned down a corner and slammed my foot on the break.
"Why? Wha-" Twilight was cut off as held her down and cover her.
Justin and Jeremy saw it too and ducked. A loud spray of bullets cut through the windows spreading glass over us. My ears rung and felt something wet run down my arm. I looked to my arm and saw I was bleeding. "Twilight, are you okay?"
"F-fuck...man." came a labored voice.
I looked back to see Jeremy bleeding from his shoulder.
"Damn, damn, damn." Justin panicked.
I opened my door and stepped out the car to the back. "Justin, get us to the hospital!" I said opening the door.
Justin got out and I took his place. He got in the driver seat and floored it. I held my hand to Jeremy's shoulder and saw him wince in pain. Blood poured out and covered my hand. I used my free hand to tear off my sleeve and held it to his wound. I wiped my blood covered hand on my shirt. "Twilight, what's going on? You okay?"
Nothing. I leaned in between the seats and shook her. "Come on Twilight, say something." I shook her again. Nothing. She just laid there, slumped over like while I was covering her. I helped her up into the seat. Her eyes were lulled and she wasn't moving. The car stopped. I looked up to see us at the emergency entrance of the hospital. Justin opened Jeremy's door and helped him out. He had his arm around him and they slowly walked toward the doors.
I got out and went around to Twilight's door and opened it. She still didn't move. I kept shaking her shoulder. "Please Twilight, say something."She still didn't do anything. I dropped to my knees and held onto her. I held her head over my shoulder. Her hair draped over my back. I felt something warm run down my face. "Twilight."
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
I held Twilight tightly and and felt a tear roll down my cheek. I listened closely holding onto my hope. I could just barely feel it.
"Beat"
"Beat"
"Beat"
I quickly looked behind to see a few nurses helping Jeremy and security questioning Justin. I eased her out of the car and carried her over to them. I still held her face close. I could just feel her warm breath. Some of the nurses spotted me and a few rushed back into the hospital. I kept walking toward the door lost in my own mind.
"How could I do this, how could I hurt her like this. "
A nurse came out the door with a gurney and stopped in front of me. "Set her down, we'll take it from here."
I set her down on the gurney and placed my hand on it. "I'm not leaving her. I can't."
"Sir, your going to have to."
"I don't care, this is my fault and I'm going to be there by her side."
Another nurses placed his hand on my shoulder. "Sir, you have your own injury and they'll need to help her. Come with me, you'll only get in the way."
I let out a long breath and followed him. My stomach was in knots as I left her. I felt like my whole body was refusing to leave her. But I had to. I mumbled the last few words I could. "I'm sorry Twilight."
I was led to a small room. "Take a seat and a doctor will be with you in a minute." the nurse said as he walked out the door.
I took a seat on the table and leaned against the wall. I remembered the horrible things I've done. All the pain I've caused, to myself and others.
I sat on the table with my shirt off. A doctor sat next to me with a suture and thread. "So you really like her don't you?" She asked stitching the graze on my bicep.
I let out a long. "Yeah I guess so. I just...I keep making things worse. I feel like none of this should be happening. Not to her."
"Just what makes her so different then?"
"You wouldn't believe me. I've gone through so much, so many strange and bad things. But I felt like she was the one good thing to happen to me, and I fucked that up."
she finished and disposed of the equipment. "Trust me, I've heard some crazy things. What so special about her?"
I furrowed my brow at how stupid it would sound. "She was a unicorn named Twilight Sparkle."
"The character from Friendship is Magic?" She asked wrapping gauze around my arm.
"Yeah."
"Sounds like you got some interesting luck." She laughed. "I watch that show with my daughter. I love Twilight."
I looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "You takin the piss?"
"Nope." She smiled. "Sounds like some crazy cos play incident the way you found her."
"Yeah well, I wish I didn't keep dragging her into my problems." I said looking down to the floor.
"Everyone has problems and she'd help you with them anyway. Twilight's a friend and she would help her friends with anything."
"But I'm the one that caused all this, she's hurt because of me. All I've ever done is hurt the people I care about."
"Don't' worry, she'll be fine. I heard she's just in shock." She said reassuring me. "Besides, you may have caused it, but you risked your life to make sure she wouldn't be hurt. If anything it sound more like it's your friends fault."
I felt some of the weight lift of my chest, but not much. "When can I see her?"
"In a little bit." She said getting up. "Your not a bad person," She said standing in the doorway. "you just need to set things right." and with that she walked off.
I let her words set in and lied down. I needed to think about what I was going to say to her and what I needed to get done. "I have a lot of work to do." I muttered.
I got up and slipped back on my blood covered shirt. The missing sleeve showed off the bandages and I had to admit, I looked fucking bad-ass. I walked out the door and spotted a nurse down the hall standing near an elevator.
"Excuse me, where would I be able to find someone who's been recently shot?"
"Uh let's see, Emergency ward, second floor east wing." He answered.
"Thanks."

Chapter 20: Paying a visit
I stepped into the elevator and pressed the floor two button. I waited silently until I felt a shifting bump and the door slid open. I stepped out into the hall and looked around. A sign down the hall read 'Eastern wing'. I followed the sign until I was in the lobby of the trauma ward. I stepped up to desk.
"When could it be possible to see a Mr. Hernandez?" I asked the woman at the desk.
"Let's see," She said checking the a list. "There is a Jeremy Hernandez in surgery for a 'Bullet removal'. The waiting room is down the left hallway then take a right. A Mr.Salada is waiting for him there as well."
"Thank you." I said as I walked down the hall and took the right.
I could see Justin sitting in the room in one of the uncomfortable chairs. He held his head in his hands. I walked in and he looked up.
"Hey."
"Hey." Replied sitting down next to him. "They call his mom yet?"
"No, not yet. You want to?" He asked.
"Fuck that. You two felt like being dumb-asses and wanted to be gangsters. You do it."
He let out a breath and looked to me. "Listen, I...I'm sorry we got you into shit. I probably should of just dropped it. Now Jeremy S'all fucked up and shit."
"Ease up man, damn. He took a round to the shoulder, it ain't that bad." I said leaning back. "At least it was only a pistol bullet, if it was a rifle then he might be missing that arm."
"I'll tell his mom." He said pulling out his phone.
I got up and walked over to the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"You really have to ask?"
He hung his head down a bit the looked up and nodded. With that I walked out into the hall. I looked around to see another nurse.
I walked up to him. "Where would I go for someone in coming out of shock?"
"Uh, let me think. Trauma, north." She answered.
"Thanks."
I made it to the wing and looked for a doctor. I noticed one near the door. "Is there a Twilight around here?"
"A who?" He asked.
I thought about it. "Uh, about five ten, long dark hair with highlights, real light skin. Anything?"
"Two-twenty-one."
I nodded and walked over to the door. A nurse stepped out. "Twilight?" I asked pointing toward the door.
"Um," He looked down at his clipboard. "We haven't gotten a name out of her. Though she's been asking for someone. A," He looked over the board. "James."
"So she's up?"
"Yeah."
"Thanks." I said as I walked through the door. I stood by the doorway and looked at her. She lied there in the bed, her eyes closed. I grabbed a chair by the window and brought it over to the bedside. I sat down and looked down at her. I slumped forward a bit and took a deep breath. "Twilight?"
I heard a faint groan and she turned her head. Her eyes were open she looked at me with her beautiful violet eyes.
"Listen. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for all this and I'm sorry for all that I've put you through. If your upset I understand and If you don't want to talk to my I don't mind. Just please don't hate me."
"Come here." She said.
I leaned in close to her. A strong slap planted itself across my face. My cheek stung and I shut my eyes. "That was irresponsible and immature of you." What came next surprised me. I felt her kiss my cheek where she had just slapped me. "I don't know if anyone else here would do me enough to save me twice. And if they would, I'd rather have someone like you."
"Somepony." I smiled.
She shared in the smile and I placed my hand by hers. She took it and I felt like nothing else. Happy.

"Hey Twilight, I know this is a weird question but, just...What happened...last night?"
She closed her eyes in thought. A small smile came to her face and she patted the space next to her. I got up and sat down on the bed beside her.
"Well,"
"Little taste of home." I said as I raised the bottle to my lips and took a sip. "I'm glad Marcus taught me how to make this stuff." I said lowering it.
"Who?" She asked.
"No one." I said taking a longer drink.
"How is that?" She asked looking at the glass bottle.
"How is what?" I asked looking over to her.
"That. What your drinking."
"Here." I said handing her the bottle.
She looked at it and wrapped her hand around it. I released it and she looked it over. She pressed the top to her lips and took a sip. Her face showed conflicting feeling over it's taste.
"Drink some more," I said. "You warm up to it."
She took another small drink and had a lesser expression. She blinked a few times. "Is it normal to feel a bit light headed?" She asked worriedly.
"At first." I said with half smile. "You'll get used to it quick."
I took the bottle back and took another long swallow and handed it back. She took another small sip. The process went on for quite a bit.
"You know what looksh really n-ice? Your hair. It's sho cool and it smells like dry grassh." I said leaning back with a stupid smile.
"Really? I guess I got used to it." She said sitting next to me.
"And you know what else? You have really pretty eyes." I said to her.
She giggled and looked at me. "You know what. You have really nice eyes too."
"No I don't. My eyes make me look like an assholes." I said depressingly.
"No they do not. They make you look kind and honest and very handsome." She said sternly.
"Whatever," I said disinterested. "Where's that bottle?" I asked looking around. I spotted it and grinned cheekily. "Come here you little bugger." I said reaching for it. I grabbed it and took another long drink. I handed it over to Twilight and she took a bit longer of a drink.
"You know elshe I think looks really good?" I asked looking down to her.
"What?" She asked with a smile.
"Your ass." I stated.
"I really said that?" I asked lying next to her in the hospital bed.
She smiled and rolled her eyes.
"Really?" She asked standing up and twisting around to see her own rear.
"Eeyup." I said admiringly.
She turned back around and gave a small playful push.
"It'sh true." I stated. "You look pretty good all around actually."
"I do?" She asked sitting back down on the couch.
"Hell yeah."
"I never really thought about being attractive or about having things like relationships for that matter."
"Damn, you would get someone nishe."
"Really? I don't know. I don't think I would really try to get a coltfriend."
"Well your on Earth not Equeshtria." I pointed out. "And here it would be pretty easy."
"I've never even kissed a colt."
"That's shomething you could do eashily too." I said placing the bottle on the coffee table. "Here I'll teash you."
"Okay," She said timidly. "What do I need to do?"
"Lean in a bit."
She leaned in and I leaned in. "Now what?"
"Relacsh, take a deep breath and clear you mind."
She closed her eyes and took in a breath and let it out her mouth. I felt some of her warm breath.
"Now focush on your partner."
She looked me in the eye and I felt her gaze connect with mine. I leaned in and our lips met for second. Her eyes closed slightly.
I pulled away. "Now how do you feel?" I asked.
She seemed to think about it and smiled. "Good, almost warm." Her cheeks held a faint red hue
"Alright, lesh try it again." I said leaning back in.
Our lips met again and stayed for a few seconds longer.
I pulled away again. "Now?"
"Really good." Her face grew brighter.
"Were making great progresh." I said with grin.
"What else is there?"
"Try ushing your tongue." I said leaning back in.
We connected once more and held it for a few seconds. We each opened our mouths a bit. Our tongues eased out and touched. She gave slight startle of surprise then mellowed out and embraced it. My tongue slid back in and I pulled back. I could taste her now. She tasted great. Like Earl grey tea and vanilla. "Weird."
"How about now?" I asked.
Her face was even brighter. "It felt wet and warm." She said. I could see her tongue move around in her mouth. "I tasted sour grain and salt."
I thought about that and nodded. "Let's try to last a little longer." I said leaning back in.
We kissed longer and longer. I explored her mouth and she mine. We took quick breaths and kept it up. The warmth grew more and more and lasted. She gave slight moans of pleasure and each kiss deepened. It wasn't long before we had leaned against each other and held firm. Our hands gripped each others sides and ran along each others backs. I felt my own bliss and didn't want to stop. My hands crept lower down her back and rested on her soft, firm rump, right where I knew her mark was. I gripped tightly and she gave a muffled gasp. I held onto her and leaned back onto the couch.
I moved my hands back up and under her shirt. My hands felt even warmer on her bare back and shoulders. The kiss broke and her shirt was slipped off. I slipped off my own and the lock was re-sealed. The warmth strengthened and I felt her bosom rub against my chest. She gripped onto my shoulders and her arms wrapped around my neck. My hands ran up an down her back.
I shifted my weight forward and pushed off the couch. My hand ran down her back across her rear and under her legs. I lifted them up around my waste and she held on tightly. I leaned back a bit and walked though the kitchen stopping to lean against the doorway. The sucking continued down the hallway and into my bedroom. I stepped over to my bed still carrying her and eased down. We laid there still holding onto each other and feeling the warmth that swept us. I flipped her around and continued kissing her from behind. I began running hands up and down her front as her hand held onto my arm. Her other hand held onto my face. My hands settled on her small breasts and gripped. She broke the kiss and gave out a longer moan. I could feel her hardened nipples through the bra.
My hands then drifted down onto her waist and I held onto my own wrists locking onto her. I let go and my hand slipped down and eased down her jeans. I quickly pushed up and slid off my own. She flipped around and embraced once more. My tongue danced with hers between our mouths and separated. I moved my mouth down her neck and sucked onto it. I heard a gasp and a long sigh. I let go and lied my head down onto my pillow. She lied her own head on my chest. We fell asleep, warmed by our own heat.
"Wow, wish I could remember it." I said lying next to her.
"You don't remember any of it?" She asked looking up to me.
"None. It's all blur."
"Well, I'm more comfortable now." She said.
"Oh."
We leaned in and met with a deep kiss. Our hands still together.

Chapter 23: "This is nice."
"You think we should maybe get dressed?" She asked still lying on top of me.
"Nah, besides, it's already late." I said looking over to the window.
The orange glow of the setting sun looked beautiful, calm, relaxing. This was honestly the most perfect moment in my life. Checklist: Hot, partially naked woman; Check. Setting sun ; Check. Bottle of Hooch; Damn . "Well, almost perfect."
I closed my eyes and waited. Wouldn't be long until I could say I legitimately slept with Twilight. Still wish I had that bottle of Hooch.
I felt a strong wind. It was coming head on. I open my eyes to see whats happening. I was moving at a rather high speed. I looked down to see the rapidly approaching ground. I felt my heart jump into my lungs at that.
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! FUCK!"
I shut my eyes and braced myself. A whole minute passed before anything happened and what did happen was really strange. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I opened my eyes to see I was in a fairly lit room sitting on a cushioned bench. Who was tapping on my shoulder was a real surprise.
"C'mon you big pussy." said an all too familiar voice. "Last time I binge drink against you. My heads still throbbing and you don't even have a hangover."
I looked up to see the face of an old friend. His squinted brown eyes made him look like an insincere jack-ass. "Huang?"
"Yeah." He said sarcastically.
"Now I know I',m dreaming." I thought bitterly. "The hell is going on?"
"Jesus man. Look around."
I followed his instructions and saw the room was painted white and had wooden trimming and furniture. I could hear a an organ play in another room. What else was weird was that Huang was wearing a suit. On closer inspection I noticed I too was wearing a suit.
"Let's see, Church, Tuxedos, Music. This either a wedding or a funeral. Please tell me it's the latter."
"Sorry." He laughed. "Guess your fucked up the ass."
"And just who's wedding is this?" I asked looking down the inside of my suit.
"Take a guess numb-nuts."
"Yours?"
"Fuck no."
"Well I'm out of ideas then." I said admittedly.
"Yours dumb-ass."
"Oh...Wait what?!"
"Man you really lose your shit when you drink." He said wryly.
"Eat my ass."
"Whatever. C'mon, it's almost time." He said walking toward a door I just noticed.
He opened it and I peered through to see quite a few people on the right hand side but absolutely no one on the left. I stepped with Huang and noticed something strange about the people that were there, they all looked very familiar. Especially the ones in the front most rows. There were about five young woman, an older woman and what looked like her husband sitting together. The man had almost dark blue hair that was parted to the right and the woman had long hair that seemed to be dyed in white and light purple stripes.
The younger woman all looked fairly different from each other. They all sat next to each other in a row. One with really light skin and styled pink hair, another with really light skin and styled purple hair, one with a tan and blonde hair that was twisted in a sort of braid, one with a lesser tan and hair done similarly but was dyed to look like a rainbow, and lastly one with sort of pasty skin and large pink curls styled back. "Jesus Christ this just tanfuckigfasctic." I thought sourly.
What else was strange was that there was an older woman and a teenage girl standing near the priest. They both had fairly light skin and long hair. The older woman's hair was a light-pink and the young girl had light-blue hair. The older woman stared at me distantly and the young girl seemed to scowl. "The fuck did I do?" I let slip.
"It's nothing man. She's been giving me the evil eye all day." Huang said laughingly.
"It's a wedding. And everyone seems all upset or something." I then noticed one of the main reasons. On the the left hand side of the podium were Jeremy and Justin. "Bloody brilliant, those two."
"Those guys are some real fuck-bins, you know that?"
"Yeah, but they're my fuck-bins." I said dryly.
We walked up to the podium and stood there waiting.
"So you're my best man?" I guessed.
"Looks that way."
"It's weird, I never thought I would get married." I said looking down to my dress shoes.
"Not getting weak knees, are we?" He joked.
"I don't know. I'm kind of nervous. Mainly from a certain hunch I have."
I really could feel a pit in my stomach. My mind was swimming in how strange it felt to be in this position. Everyone seemed to looked at me with blank faces and the priest seemed to have a crooked smile.
"Here." Huang said digging into the inner pocket of his coat. He pulled out a red and white piece of cloth and handed it to me.
I held it in my hands and felt somewhat at ease. I slipped the folded piece of cloth into my pocket and straightened up. The ceremony began and the door at the end of the isle slowly swung open.

Three little girls came down the isle tossing flowers along the path. I watched the door and waited to see who I knew would come through. No one came. Everyone continued silently waiting, still nothing. The priest beside us had a slight chuckle and I shook my head. "Dreams, why do you always fuck with me?"
Minutes had passed and still nothing. Worried expressions began to grow among the onlookers and I too held a nervous stare to the door. Somebody did come. A thin woman with lengthy blonde hair stood in the doorway. She wasn't quite dressed for a wedding; old fatigues, boots and a sweater. "This does not look good." I muttered.
I stepped down and approached her. "Is there something I could help you with? Were kind of in the middle of something."
"Follow me." She said in low voice.
I followed her outside onto the sidewalk. She stopped and I felt someone grab me from behind and lift me up. I squirmed and kicked my foot back furiously. "What the fuck do you think your doing?!" I felt my foot connect with something and was dropped. I turned around to see a large bald man clutching his stomach. I wound back my arm and swung, hitting his lower jaw.
I felt something hard and blunt hit my head and I fell down. Everything seemed to fade and I could hear echoing speech.
"On it."
I opened my eyes and fuzzily saw a dirty room with a tv on a small table. "Good, he's finally getting up."
I looked around to see I was on a small plastic crate. A speaker was in the corner of the room next to a camera. I gritted my teeth. "Who the fuck are you and where the fuck am I?"
"You can call me S. I've brought you hear to have a little fun."
I scowled at how ridiculous this was sounding. "And just what does this fun involve?" A faint smile came to my face at how that sounded.
"My, don't you have a dirty little mind." She giggled. "You have free run of this place and, if you want the prize, you'll do what I want you to."
"That prize wouldn't happen to involve letting me go?" I asked.
"Something better."
If i want to live through this dream then I guess I'll have to just play along. "So what do I have to do?"
"Easy. There are six other men inside this compound. Last man standing gets there own prize."
Six others huh, guess I made myself a challenge. "Can I ask why I'm here?"
"Because it's a part of the theme to this." She explained. "Your a violent, murdering, psychopathic, criminal. Same as all the others. I've been following you for some time. You seemed perfect." I could almost imagine the smirk on her face. "If you do well enough, maybe we could put this behind us and have that other fun too." She added in a sultry tone.
How original. A woman who ether wants me to end up dead or fuck her. Jesus mind, you sure love to fuck me up the ass. "Can we get this over with? I was in the middle of a wedding."
"Oh I don't think it'll be much of a wedding," The tv flicked on. "If there's no bride."
I looked to the tv and saw a woman in a white dress with long navy hair. Her eyes were wet and looking straight at me. The view seemed to start moving. A hand from outside of the view. "Just keep on looking girly." A deep voice said tilting her chin up a bit.
"Don't you touch her you fucking cocksuck!" I knelt down in front of the tv and gripped it.
"They can't here you James." S taunted.
I picked up the tv and threw it against the wall. Glass shattered and covered the floor around it.
"Temper, temper."
"Fuck you." I exhaled.
"If you want her, then you've gotta have a little fun and play." I could hear her laughter. "Every thing you see behind you is yours to use."
I turned around to see a medium sized metal container. On top was a pistol and a magazine. I stepped up to it and looked it over. Glock 17, seventeen rounds. An Idea came into my mind. I picked up the weapon and set it down on the floor. I then opened the crate to see it padded. Inside was another bullet, a sheathed knife, a large vest and a round grenade.
Blackhawk Tatang, bullet proof vest, M67 Fragmentation grenade. Marcus, you sure knew how to teach.
"Clever boy." S said through the speaker.
"I couldn't possibly get some boots? If I have to do this I don't think these will be very useful." I said looking down at the black wingtips.
"Corner." She said in a bored tone. "I don't have all day, there are six other men trying to kill each other. If your going to win then you have to make sure they all die."
I looked in the corner to see an old box. I then approached. it and opened the box to see an old pair of combat boots.
"Vietnam jungle-stompers. These things are twice as durable and half the price of any a' that new faggy shit" The voice echoed in my head.
I let out a breath and leaned against the wall slipping off the dress shoes and slipping on the boots. I walked back to the plastic crate and sat down tying them. I finished the knot and stepped back over to the crate. I put on the vest and attached the sheath to my left bicep. I placed the grenade on my belt and them turned my attention to the pistol. I pulled back the slide and placed the spare bullet in the chamber. I slid the mag in and released the slide. Eighteen rounds .
"Hey S." I called out."
"n -Yes James." She answered.
"When I'm done here," I said furrowing my brow. "I'm gonna kill you."
"I know."
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
"Now that that's all in order, how's about we get down to good stuff?" S said cheekily
"You know you really should of thought that over."
"Still in the gutter are we?"
I let out a sigh and spotted a door on the far side of the room. I walked up to it and turned the handle. Locked.
"Hold on." S said as a loud metallic clank came from the door.
I attempted opening the door and it opened. I gripped the pistol tighter and slowly opened the door.
"Oh I know! Let's have some music!" S said.
"You really like to just fuck with me, don't you?" I asked looking around.
"You aren't being very entertaining. Remember that's the whole reason your here."
I let out another sigh. Probably gonna do quite a few of those. "Do you have cameras and speakers everywhere?" I groaned.
"Why of coarse."
"Then why don't you bother one of the other six tossers here?" I asked.
"Because they were all kind of assholes. So I just lessened there prizes for being so mean. I'm not going to have to lessen your prize and not have anyone to talk to, am I?"
"Now listen and listen good," I barked. "If you or that fucking spunk gorilla you call a friend even tries to hurt her, I WILL MOTHERFUCKING GUT YOU ALIVE!"
"Tisk tisk. Oh looky here. She's crying. She wants to know why were doing this and where you are. Isn't that just cute?"
Don't let her get to you, remember, dream. I let out a grunt and look around the old building. Dozens of concrete structures were all crammed in there. "Any hints as to where I can find these assholes and get through this dream with out feeling like this is some sort of personal hell?"
"Well in a sort, it is. It's your dream so you should be able to control this. Guess you just don't have the ability." She laughed.
Alright, I think I'm officially mind-fucked. I let out another sigh and began my search through this giant cluster fuck of gray-brown industrial setting.
"Now where was I?" S said through the speaker. "Oh yeah, music !"
"I really hate you." I muttered.
"I'm sorry, I didn't quite catch that."
"Nothing ."
I wandered through some of the more narrow corridors and pressed against the wall. I peaked around the corner to see someone nervously looking around. I pulled back around and unsheathed the knife. I let out a deep breath and stuffed the pistol into my pants. I used my free hand to smack the wall beside me. The smack echoed down the hall and I could hear footsteps coming closer. He peaked around the opposite corner. "Bad move. "
I stepped closer and, with my free hand, reached around and covered his mouth. He began to panic and resist. I reached around with my knife hand and sunk it into his neck. His struggle weakened and blood poured down. I slid the knife out. I knelt down easing him to the ground. I wiped the blade on his sleeve and sheathed it.
"One down five to go."
I grabbed his pistol and stuffed it into my belt with the other.
I found myself in a more open area. I could see someone on a higher perch. He seemed to be messing around with something. He didn't seem to spot me.
'P-Tew'
I was flat on my back. My chest began to ache and I looked down to see a larger bullet embedded in the vest.
"Motherfucker shot me! Alright cocksucker, my turn." I said reaching for a pistol.
I grasped it and got up. I looked up to see him spot me. "Shit, why aren't you dead?!"
"I'm harder to kill than that bitch!"
I ran toward cover behind a column. "Step out now so I can plant one between your eyes!"
I extended my middle finger out from the cover. I looked around to see a piece of scrap wood. I grabbed it and tossed it out and dived out the opposite way. He took the bait and I leveled the pistol. I pulled the trigger and watched him drop.
I let out a breath. "Four." I said to myself as I took off the vest.
I found myself in a small room with a few upturned tables. "Jeez, wish someone invited me to this party."
"Oh yeah you would of loved it." S said through a speaker.
Being that it had been a while since I'd heard her I forgot about the speakers and nearly pissed myself at that.
"Don't be a little wuss." She giggled. "I didn't catch you that off guard."
"There's still four others trying to kill me. You popping up doesn't put me at ease."
"Yes I know. Remember, I'm always watching."
"Yeah I'll keep that in mind when I'm busting for a piss."
"Hey, if it'll cheer you up, I'll give you some help. But just this once." She said sympathetically.
"Fine."
"Oh hey look, your in the same room."
"What?" I asked looking around to see a flipped table wobble a bit.
I grabbed my pistols and slowly walked toward the table. I peaked around it and he swung wild. He knocked one of the pistols out of my hand and scrambled for it. I kicked him to the side and aimed the other pistol at his head. He regained his bearing and lunged at me, knocking me down. We fought over the pistol, gripping it and trying to lean the barrel toward the other. I knee him in the groin and regained my control of the weapon just in time to aim, pull the trigger, and have squishy, pink brain matter now splattered on the wall behind him.
I sat there heavily breathing. "Not...cool..."
"You know your more entertaining than porn right?" S said through the speaker.
"Why'd you have to put that image in my head?"
"Just saying."
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
"Three to go." I sighed.
I then found myself to be in another open area. What I thought was interesting was that two of other people were already there and had seem to come to some sort of compromise. They were talking like friends and not even trying to kill each other.
"Hey S" I called out.
"What? I'm doing something." She said.
Her voice seemed labored and higher. "Should I want to know what in the hell your doing right now?" I asked.
"Pr-obably n-AH-t." A long moan followed that.
"What the fuck?!"
The two seemed to notice me and of coarse were aiming there weapons I saw there reaction and ducked for cover as a few bullets whizzed past me and hit the wall. Bits of concrete flecked off the wall. "Perfect ."
I reached my hand to my pistols and waited. The shots stopped and I ran out, ducking and weaving through the oncoming wall of bullets. I got into to cover and waited again. With all these chest-high walls, this place would be great for paintball. I guess the real thing is just as good.
The shots stopped and I ran out again. I got close and did a home-run slide and returned fire. A little more accurately at that. As each seemed to waste bullets and stand there I landed three body-shots each. They both dropped into a combined pool of blood on the floor.
"Hey S" I called out again.
"Yeah."
"What the fuck?"
"...Your really good at the whole killing thing. I like it...A lot."
I shook my head. "One left and I get her back."
After wandering around I was on a high spot over a small corridor. And lucky me, the last guy was wandering down that very corridor.
I smirked at how incompetent he seemed. "Hey S, check this."
I jumped down onto him bringing us both to the ground. I flipped out the the knife and brought it down. He blocked it with his forearm and kicked me off. We both stumbled up from the ground and he brought up his pistol. I ducked and grabbed the arm holding the pistol out of the way. I slashed my knife across his stomach and weaved under his arm. I plunged it into his back and it held tight. A loud gurgle came from him. I jiggled the knife but it didn't loosen. I made some room and lifted my leg. I pressed my foot on his body and kicked while I pulled the knife out. A spattering trail of blood followed the knife out and landed on the wall.
"That's all of them. Now where do I go to get my prize?" I asked.
"About that." S trailed off.
"...S?..."
"Come back to the spot you started."
I wandered around for what felt like hours and finally reached the door I had come from. I walked through the door to see the blonde woman and her bald friend standing on either side of Twilight who was tied to a chair. Classic .
The blonde woman began to clap. "Well done."
Twilight looked at me with a combination of relief and sadness.
"Let her go so this can just end." I said disdainfully.
"Alright," She said. She snapped her fingers and the bald man untied Twilight.
"Great, now I can kill you and wake up from this bullshit."
"Ah, ah, ah." She said waving her finger.
"What? Why?"
She cocked her head to the side and I followed the motion to see the bald man holding a pistol toward Twilight.
"Well shit." I smiled wryly.
S cleared her throat and held out her hands palm up. I pulled the pistols from my belt and tossed them to her. She cleared her throat again and I tossed the knife to her as well.
"Good. That's it, you can go now." She said waving me off.
Twilight started walking toward me. I held my arms out and we hugged. "Go out for a minute."
She looked up to me and nodded. She walked out and I turned my attention to the other woman.
"So who are you really?"
"Still haven't figured it out yet? In a way I'm you." She said gleefully. "Or I'm a certain part of you. Or I'm a figment of your subconscious that is a different representation of you."
"No, your not me." I said as I walked toward the door.
"Hmm, Just how's that?"
I stood in the open doorway. "Cause I don't forgot important things." I said as I pulled the pin of the grenade. I tossed it in and closed the door. The door then stressed and extended outward as black burn marks surrounded the frame. I walked toward Twilight who stood there waiting. "Now I do believe we were in the middle of something."
I opened my eyes. The room held an orange glow as the sun peaked over the horizon. I looked down to see Twilight still sound asleep. "I wonder just what she's feeling right now."
I raised my hand and stroked her hair softly. I laid my head back and watched as the sun continued rising.

Chapter 27: Enjoying the day
After an hour of waiting Twilight finally woke and we shared a morning glance. We smiled, kissed and sat there for a few moments.
"Hey Twilight."
"Yes?" She replied hugging onto me.
"You ever had one of those...dreams...That makes you really, you know...think?" I asked staring at the ceiling.
"A few, honestly I never really remember my dreams." She laughed lightly.
I shared in the laugh. My face grew more serious. "Usually, I don't dream. When I do it's always something weird or deep. Since you showed up I've been having crazy ones."
"What did you dream of this time?" She asked.
"Well, It started with me falling. I was just, falling."
"That's it?" She asked a little disappointed.
"No, there was more." I reassured her.
"Can I here it?" she asked propping her head on her hand.
"Alright." I smiled. "So I closed my eyes and fell for a really long time. Then I felt someone tap my shoulder and when I opened my eyes I saw Huang."
"Your old friend." She interrupted.
I nodded. "We were in a church and there was a wedding."
"Who was being married?"
I smiled at that. "I think you can take a guess."
She looked off thinking about it and looked back at me happily.
"And then she said she was me" I said looking off.
"That is strange." Twilight joked.
I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"Listen, could you promise me something?" She asked looking a little down.
"Sure, anything."
She perked up at that. "Can you try to be a little kinder, you know, try to be less harsh?"
"Alright ...for you."
We shared another kiss and got out of the bed.
"So just where did you learn to do that stuff?" She asked putting on the borrowed clothes.
"Years of experience." I laughed.
She gave an inquisitive glance, still holding a faint smile.
"C'mon." I said walking toward the door. "We gotta go see someone before we can leave."
We walked out the door and she followed me back to the emergency ward. I stopped at the desk again.
"Recovery, 246." the woman stated.
"Thanks."
We walked down the hallway to the room and walked in. Jeremy was asleep in the bed, his arm in a sling. Justin was asleep in a chair near the bed. I stepped up to him and bumped his shin with my foot. He woke up at the startle and looked around rubbing his eyes.
"What?" He asked.
"You ready to go home?" I asked.
"Sure." He said as he got up and stretched.
We all walked out and left the hospital. Justin drove and me and Twi sat in the back looking at all the older buildings.
After about a half hour of driving we finally got home.
"Thanks man." I said as I ducked out of the car.
He didn't respond and went inside his house. I shrugged it off and walked across the street with Twilight. We walked through the door and I sat down on the couch while Twilight fiddled around with the books on the floor.
"What are you on right now?" I asked.
She held up a smaller book and read it's title. "The Giver."
"You'd really like that one. How far through are you?" I asked
"I've only read the first sentence." She answered.
I thought for a moment and liked the idea I came up with. I walked into my room and came back out with a pillow and a blanket. I placed the pillow by the arm of the couch and lied down. "Since your so early on in it, lets read it together."
She nodded with a smile and walked over to the couch with the book. She sat down on my lap and lied down on top of me, her head resting on my chest. I covered her with the blanket and she opened the book. I began to read the book aloud from the start.
It was almost December, and Jonas was beginning to be frightened. No. Wrong word, Jonas thought. Frightened meant that deep, sickening feeling of something terrible about to happen.

Chapter 28: Light reading
An hour of reading and fifteen chapters later Twilight decided to close the book. I'd spent most of the time explaining what a lot of the guff the book had was. She pulled off the cover and got up.
"Don't feel like reading for a bit?" I asked still lying on the couch.
"No I'm just getting a headache from all the events. It's strange how much they change in their world."
I got up and stretched. "It takes a lot to make it perfect . If you could really call it that."
"I still feel bad for them and Jonas. So much history, so much to learn and they can't. Just for there own good."
"Things always happen strangely. For the greater good isn't much of a reason though." I said as I walked into the kitchen and turned on a burner on the stove.
I filled my kettle with water from the sink and placed it on the burner. The box of tea was still on the counter. I grabbed two more cups from the cabinet and placed them on the counter. Twilight sat back down on the couch.
"I still hate it that they removed all color. Color seems like a pointless thing, but without it nothing is the same." She said.
I let out a sigh and sat back down. "Color on Earth is much different than on Equestria. Ponies are all sorts of colors and that makes them unique. Humans are different. Color often effects how people view you. There was a time when certain colors were shunned and disliked for being different."
"That's awful." Twilight said.
"Humans can be as shallow and spiteful as they can be kind and diverse. I should know."
"Why? It seems so trivial."
"Sometimes it's difficult for a young civilization to know what is right and what is wrong." I said looking up to ceiling. "We've even gone as far as to create open conflict over it."
Twilight seemed deep in thought and simply sat there.
"I can't quite explain why they do things. I guess being acute and animalistic is hardwired into us."
A few minutes of silence passed. I got up and walked to the computer. I sat down on the broken computer chair and turned my computer on. I turned back around to see Twilight looking at it curiously.
"What is that?" She asked.
"It's called a computer," I explained. "It's a machine that...well...I can't quite explain that either." I said scratching my head. "Come here and I'll try to show you."
She got up from the couch and stood next to me as the computer turned on. I moved the mouse around and clicked 'log on'. My wallpaper came up and my icons loaded in. I clicked on the Mozilla Firefox icon and loaded the browser.
"Alright, name something off the top of your head." I said.
"Human."
I typed it in the Google search bar and hit enter. The page loaded up and the first thing on the list was 'Human - Wikipedia,the free encyclopedia'. I clicked on the link and the page loaded.
I got up and motioned for her to sit. I demonstrated how to use the mouse wheel and she repeated it. The kettle began to whistle. "Have a read if you want." I said as I walked into the kitchen.
I turned off the burner and poured the water into the cups. I added the loose tea and brought the cups back into the living room. I set them down on the computer desk where Twilight had read through quite a bit of the page, already in the 'evolution' section.
"What d'you think" I asked placing my hand on her shoulder.
She looked up to me. "Better than any book I've seen." She smiled.
I shared in the smile. "Finding all this fascinating ?" I asked.
"Very" She said returning her attention to the page. "Humans have developed so much. It's a little unsettling how close humans and ponies are."
"I'll say." I chuckled.

Chapter 29: A learning experience
She continued reading while I stood in the kitchen placing bread in the toaster. I pushed town the handle and waited. I looked back through the alcove to see Twilight with a uncomfortable expression. Her eyes continued to move from side to side still reading. I walked back into the living room and stood next to her.
"Something wrong?" I asked as I looked at the part of the page she was at. 'Anatomy'
I then looked to the left to see the anatomical picture of both a man and a woman. I looked back at Twi who had a minor blush at the image. My face reddened a bit. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I opened them back up reached around her. My face tensed at her quick startle from my movement. I placed my hand on the mouse and closed the page.
"How about we add this to that list of things we never speak of ever again?"
She nodded and I clicked on the Mozilla Firefox icon again, opening a new browser. I typed in YouTube on the search and hit enter. I clicked on the link displayed at the top and the normal YouTube page came up. Among my recommendations were a few episodes of FiM. I clicked on one of my favorites 'Luna Eclipsed' and turned the speaker on. I heard the toaster pop and walked back into the kitchen. After rummaging through the cabinets for a plate and taking out the toast I looked back to see Twilight smiling at the moving image of Spike dressed as a dragon and Twilight as Starswirl the Bearded.
I walked back into the living room and stood beside her. I noticed a tear roll down her cheek, yet she still smiled. I knelt down beside her. "You miss all your friends back in Ponyville don't you?"
She nodded her head I wrapped my arm around her while we watched the video play. The intro started and I went back into the kitchen and pulled a small knife from the droor and grabbed a jar of Nutella from the cabinet. I spread it over one of the pieces of toast and cleaned off the knife in the sink. I walked back into the living room and set the plate down my the cups of tea.
"Whats on that one?" She asked looking at the Nutella'd toast.
"Take a bite."
She reached over and picked up the piece clumsily and took a bite. She chewed it happily and swallowed.
"Pretty good?" I asked.
"Mmhmph"
We continued watching ponies while sipping the green tea and enjoying the toast.
Twenty commercial free minutes of ponies had passed. It felt pretty cool to have one of the ponies present as well or something of that sort. One of the few questions I had thought of over the last few weeks finally came back to mind.
"Hey Twilight."
She looked up to me.
"Are there violets in Equestria?" I asked.
She looked at the computer and seemed to think. She turned back up to me. "I really don't know. I don't think I've heard of or have seen one."
"Follow me." I said as I walked through the kitchen and family room and out the back door.
She followed me through the large spot of concrete and to the section of uncut grass. Among the larger tufts of grass and dandelions was a patch of small purple flowers.
Twilight stood next to me as I looked down to the small flowers. "Oddly enough, they're weeds. I don't know why but I really like them. They look nice."
Twilight leaned against me. "They really are. I still don't know if they're in Equestria though."
"Damn. Whatever." I shrugged. "I think I'll always have my own violet." I said as I placed my arm around her shoulder.
We looked at each other and shared a quick kiss. I looked back at the flowers and could swear I saw a certain purple unicorn in them.

Chapter 31: Trying to enjoy the rest of the day
"It was fine." She said uncomfortably.
"That's nice." I said as I set the beer down on the floor and got up. "I'm gonna take a shower and change. Give me about twenty minutes and the day is yours."
"Okay."
I walked down the hall to the bathroom and closed the door.
I finished my shower and stepped out onto the tiled floor and rumpled jumpsuit. I reached toward the rack to find myself grabbing at nothing but air. "Shit."
I remembered the towel was still out in the living room. Where Twilight was . I cracked open the door and peaked my dripping head out. Twilight was still facing the computer. I took my chance and reached out to the small closet full of towels. Unfortunately it was at least a foot out of reach. I looked back to see she was still focused on the computer.
"Oh this is a bad Idea. "
I took a step out and reached for a towel. "Uhhh."
I stopped dead in my tracks at the voice I new was Twilight. My eyes widened and I felt the blood rush to my face as it reddened. I slowly turned my head to the left to see Twilight staring at me and time stood still. I could almost feel the air blow past a certain part of me that was now on display. "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK! "
She blushed and turned back around. I snatched a towel and darted back into the bathroom slamming the door. I dried off and wrapped it around my waist. I started for the door but stopped myself. "God you freakin' ponce. This sucks. I worried her with the ass kicked thing and now she just saw Gyahh . I held my hand up to my face at how weird this is.
I braced myself and walked out. I hurried down the hall a bit and into my room and got dressed. I came back out and sat down on the couch staring off at the black screen of the tv.
Twilight turned around and looked at me while biting her lower lip. "That was...umm."
"Awkward?" I interrupted.
"Uh yeah, awkward sounds about right." She looking off and nodding.
"Listen I'm uh, I'm sorry for that."
"It's okay, I-I don't mind. I mean, you've pretty much seen the same of me so I guess we're kind of...even in that."
Hearing that didn't make me feel any less embarrassed at it. That it was over something stupid made me feel kind of stupid over it.
"I think the thing that threw me was, well, I didn't know for humans it could be that b-"
"Stop, just, just stop. Please don't make this weirder." I begged holding my hands up.
"Alright." She said getting up from the stool.
She took a seat next to me on the couch and placed her hand on my arm comfortingly. I let out a sigh and looked over to her. "I-"
She held her hand up. "Let's just drop it okay? You said when you were done that the rest of the day would be mine. Let's just go back to the book and keep things normal. for the most part."
"Did I ever tell you your my favorite pony?"
"No, no you didn't. But you didn't have to."
We both shared a smile and I grabbed the beer off the floor and took a sip.
"I have to say; that was a little pointless of a problem. Eh, who gives a fuck." I shrugged.

Chapter 32: Breaking news
I sat on my couch with Twilight reading.
Jonas braced himself and entered the memory which was torturing The Giver. He was in a confused, noisy, foul-smelling place. It was daylight, early morning, and the air was thick with smoke that hung, yellow and brown, above the ground. Around him, everywhere, far across the expanse of what seemed to be a field, lay groaning men. A wild-eyed horse, its bridle torn and dangling, trotted frantically through the mounds of men, tossing its head, whinnying in panic. It stumbled, finally, then fell, and did not rise. Jonas heard a voice next to him. "Water, " the voice said in a parched, croaking whisper.
My heart sunk. I knew this part all too well.
He turned his head toward the voice and looked into the half-closed eyes of a boy who seemed not much older than himself. Dirt streaked the boy's face and his matted blond hair. He lay sprawled, his gray uniform glistening with wet, fresh blood.
I felt a part of my nose twitch and my eyes felt wet. I could remember Huang in a similar way again. It hurt. I blinked away the wetness and closed the book.
"I really don't feel like reading Twilight. Can we please do something else?"
"Why, is something the matter?"
"No no, it's nothing. I just, I'm a little tired of reading."
She let out a sigh. "Alright"
I rubbed my temples and pushed the thought out my mind. "C'mon man, hold it together. Don't let it hold you down. "
She got up and walked toward the bathroom. I dug between the cushions for the remote and turned on the tv. The black screen lit up and was on the channel two news.
"And for the weekend, partially cloudy with a chance of some light rain. We're switching over to Diane, it appears we have some breaking news. "
The view changed to a woman sitting at a desk. "Thank you Tom. This just in, reports of another violent killing in the south-eastern areas of Detroit have surfaced. "
I turned down the volume and hunched forward trying to pay closer attention.
"This time the victims included at least six grown men in a clubhouse on the southern side of gratiot. The identities of the men have yet to be released. These killings are told to be similar to those that have been happening for the last few months. Many witnesses claim to have spotted a large caucasian male with dark hair leaving the areas wearing coveralls, work boots and a baseball cap and some form of mask as well as carrying around some sort of bag. "
"I can't find anything." Twilight called from the bathroom.
"Uh, just keep looking." I answered back.
"Witnesses claim to have spotted a similar assailant leaving the premise clutching his arm. Hospitals are being checked for anyone with recently sustained injuries to the left arm. If anyone has any knowledge of who this person may be, please contact local authorities. "
I changed the channel as Twilight walked back into the living room with a small white bottle.
"Here." She handed me the aspirin.
I took the bottle and poured out two tablets and popped them into my mouth. I swallowed and set the bottle on the floor. "Thanks."
She sat down. "So just what happened? How did you get hurt?" She asked lounging against me.
I thought quick. "I lost my footing on some steps on my way out and fell down them. Same how I messed up my nose. I didn't think it was anything to worry about so I just came back home."
"Oh, well, I hope you feel better." She held onto the arm and it ached.
"Hey Twi, I don't have to go to work tomorrow so do you wanna go out somewhere."
"Sure."

Chapter 33: Plus one internet
"Hey Twi."
"Yes?"
"Do you think it's 'cool' that there are people who really like you and all your friends, even thought they've never met?"
She seemed a bit dumbfounded at the concept. "I guess so. I still don't know why anyone would watch me and everypony else go about our lives."
"Because your lives are interesting and fun." I answered.
"It's still a strange thing." She put in. "How does everyone know about it and always know when to watch?"
"Beats me." I lied. "How can I tell her she's as fictional as the characters of this book? I guess I just pad it out like some other things.
"I feel fairly uncomfortable knowing that I'm being watched at any point in time."
"It's only when there's some life lesson to be learned or something important going on. Even in the down time between then people make up stories and share them for fun."
"Stories about what?"
"You and all the others." I answered. "They're all just made up, as far as I can tell. A lot of them are funny or deep and interesting. Some are scary and others are just kind of flat out...gross."
"How so?"
"Stories about you and all your friends bumming each other or going on ridiculous adventures and bumming each other or even crime mysteries and solving them and bumming each other. So yeah, there's a lot of stories about you and your friends having sex between the six of you."
She stared at me wide eyed.
"I don't know why, but there seems to be a lot centered around Rainbow and Applejack or Pinkie. Kinda weird but, whatever."
She still stared at me.
"Um, hello?" I waved my hand in front of her without a response. I brought back my hand and swung it forward swiftly, stopping right in front of her face.
"Gah" She jumped back a bit.
"Zoned out?" I asked.
"Hearing this was very...disturbing."
"Guess I should of held my tongue, huh?"
"I really wish you did. Though I'd be lying if I said the Rainbow part wasn't completely false."
"Really?"
She tilted her head to the side and looked to the ground
"I feel like my childhood died for the second time. "I thought sourly. "Now I really wish I held my tongue."
"Just how is it that these stories are shared?" She asked.
"Computer." I said flatly.
"Could you show me?"
I let out a glum sigh and walked over to the computer. "I do have to say that some stories are fairly normal. Not something about you and your friends fucking."
She still seemed taken aback.
I typed into Google the familiar 'FIMFiction.net',hit enter, and away we were. I clicked on the link and browsed over the new stories. "I kind of like the ideas for some; you and the others come to Earth and do all sorts of crazy things and usually end up having sex with the main hum-" I stopped at the thought of how alike that seemed to my own situation. "You know what? Never mind. I didn't say a damn thing."
"Something the matter?"
"No, nothing at all." I sighed. "Here." I said relinquishing my seat. "Have a look at all the work the sick fucks of this place make." I felt like sulking in a corner but opted to just drink.
I walked back to my room to find the bottle of homebrew still there and came back to living room, drinking it down while I walked. I sat down on the couch and lounged taking long swigs from the it. I staggered over to Twilight while she read over some of the stories.
"I get your point on what you said earlier. This is very much...disgusting."
"Eeyup. That's the internet for you."

Chapter 34: Drink and forget
I took longer and longer swallows. I tried to take in quick breaths to keep it up, but choked as some of it hit hard. I let out cough after painful cough trying to get it out. It let up and the gasps and coughs faded in strength. I sat there on the couch taking heavy breaths. Twilight looked over to me with a troubled look.
"Wassup?" I asked looking at her.
She stared at me sadly.
"What?" I asked cocking my head back drunkenly.
"I know somethings troubling you. I don't want to see you hurt yourself over it."
"I don't care." I said waving her off.
She got up from the computer and sat down next to me. She held onto my still aching arm, though it lessened from the mix of meds and booze going through me. "Please, tell me whats wrong."
"There'sh nothing wrong with me, Okay . Jusht leave me alone."
She held tighter and hugged onto me. "Please?"
I moved my jaw from side to side bitterly. "You reeeally want to know huh? You want to know why I feel bad after I hear about cartoonsh fucking and that it'sh true?" I trailed off angrily.
She held tighter and I let all my anger out.
"You want to know why I feel bad that I watched my closhesht friend die and I couldn't do a god damn thing?" I felt a tear well up at the thought again.
She still held tight with closed eyes.
"You want to know why I feel bad that I do horrible thingsh?" I shuddered as I sobbed. I wrapped my arm around her and sobbed harder and harder into her shoulder. She held into me and I let it all out. I could feel all my anger and regret and fear let out onto her shoulder.
"It's okay." Twilight cooed. "Just let it go."
I held her and she held me. I never wanted to let go. She was the only real comfort I've had in long time. I would die before I let her go.
"I feel sho empty and broken ." I groaned.
"Your fine." Twilight said with a loving voice. "Things will be better. You'll see soon enough."
I could smell the grass through her hair. I finally calmed and felt something well up inside. I felt a piece of me long gone come back. I loosened my grip and let go of her. She did so too and we shared a moment as I wiped my face with my arm. I looked into her deep purple eyes and could feel a warmth in my chest. She hugged back onto me and the warmth grew.
"I will never let anything come between ush." I said as I hugged back. "Never."
"I know."
I lowered my face down to hers and felt her soft hair on my cheek. She lifted her head and we shared a kiss. She reached over to the bottle still in my hand and took it. She raised it up to her mouth and drank from it. The swallow rivaled mine and after a few minutes we sat together drunkenly laughing and talking.
"And then, 'pomf' her wings were just up." She giggled.
"Wow. That'sh meshed up. Shtill funny ash hell." I laughed with her.
"And then Applejack just looked off and her face was as red as Big macintoch's. Rainbow Dash was so embarrassed, she hid in a cloud for days."
"Hey, ish Bigmac really that laid back and quiet?"
"When he's not mad. I heard him really mad and did he talk . I don't think anypony ever heard him say more than a few words."
"I've been really wondering about thish. Evershince that hearts and hoovesh day shit, doesh Bigmac and Cheerilee still see each other?" I asked
"I don't know myself." Twilight answered. "I think I heard Rarity once going on with Fluttershy on some gossip about her walking funnily away from sweet apple acres. I didn't really get what they meant, but they seemed to find it really interesting."
I thought it over and luaghed stupidly. "Oh I get it,"
"What? What's it mean."
"Caush he'sh Big mac." I chuckled.
"I still don't get it." Twilight said with irritation.
"Eh forget it."
"Aw, I really wanted to know." Twilight whined.
"Calm down. Hey you want to shee shomething cool?"
"What?"
"Follow me." I stated as I walked through the kitchen.
We walked all the way through to the backyard.
"Alright, check thish." I stepped back a bit and ran toward my house. When I neared my house I jumped and my foot touched the brick. I kicked off from the spot and reached out with a grunt. I grasped the edge of the roof with my one hand and hung there. I reached up with the other and pulled myself up while using my feet to hoist my self upward. After scuffing the hell out of my soles I managed to get leverage and pulled up hitting back first onto the slate. I rolled over to my front and hung down a bit and reached down. "C'mon."
Twilight reached out and I grabbed her arm just past her wrist. I pulled her up and she kicked out at the bricks for support. She gradually rose and I switched to my knees as she started peaking over the edge. I leaned back, still pulling her up. Once she was half way over the edge I let go of her arm and leaned back over the edge and grabbed her leg. I pulled the rest of her up with a grunt and we laid there as I panted from the climb.
"You good?" I asked looking up to the glowing sky.
"Yeah, what did you want to show me?"
"That." I stated as I pointed toward the horizon.
The pink-orange glow of the setting sun. I sat up and moved to the other side of the roof, angled toward the from of the house. Twilight followed and we laid there on the roof as the sun set down for the night.
"Jusht like yeshterday." I slurred.
"Not quite." She corrected.
"Oh yeah!" I said as I got up and walked to the cooler at the far end of the roof. I opened it and dug through the the amass of ice to pull out a large clear bottle. "Hooch; check. "
I sat back down with Twilight and uncorked it with my teeth. I took a sip and handed it over to Twilight. She turned it down and I took another swig before I stuck the cork back in and pounded it with my fist for good measure. Twilight let out a sigh and held onto me. I wrapped my arm around shoulders and we watched the descending sun.
"Sho what d'you think of thish plashe?" I asked.
"I really like it here." She answered. "You've shown me some things I've never thought of seeing; good and bad. I think I could stay here for a long time."
I smiled at that and nodded my head. "Cool."

Chapter 35: A hellish nightmare
The sun slipped away and so did any chance of me staying awake. A comfortable darkness crept in and lulled me to my zone of blur and mindless fuckery. As things came into focus I could begin to see a dimly lit room. The sound of a softened but lively tune hung almost around me. I looked around to see that the only light the room held was from a few candles. I looked back in front of me to see both a table set with roses, a candle and glasses of wine. Funnily enough there were two bottles of wine sitting on ice in a stand next to the table. I could see who sat across me. A young woman with flawless light skin, lengthened navy hair and beautiful amethyst eyes. She wore both a simple and quite, appealing sleek black dress and a warm, relaxed smile. She was seated comfortably across the table looking happily at me.
I then took notice of what I had been wearing: an onyx blazer with matching slacks and a pristine white shirt with a silky crimson tie wrapped around my neck. I felt a hell of a lot cleaner than I usually did and could smell through the wine the scent of lilac from the other end of the table. She drank a white wine and I a red, hence two bottles. She grasped hers and sipped it. Her lowered eyes made her seem all the more attractive as she drank from her glass. I let a smile fill the gap on my face.
She lowered the glass and looked over to me. "This is just the best night I've ever shared with anybody."
"Yeah." I trailed off drinking in her appearance.
"Are you ready to go home?" She asked.
I snapped back into focus and nodded. We rose from our seats and meet. Her arm wrapped around mine I instinctively walked toward a door and opened it. She stepped through first and I followed suit. We walked together leaving the place into the crisp, cold night. Twi held onto my arm and the only sound to be heard was our footsteps. The street was empty of all but us.
"Think there's any way this night could be better?" I asked looking down to her as we walked.
She stopped and I stayed put with her. "Maybe." She said as she leaned forward on her and we kissed.
The kiss lasted and we continued the walk with no real destination. We passed by an alley way and she pulled we toward it. "Short cut?" She offered.
I smiled and nodded in agreement. We began walking down the space between brick buildings and occasionally stopped for another sensual kiss and kept on with the trek. Something caught my eye as we walked. something dark and quick kept shifting between random spots like a bothersome fly buzzing around.
"Wait." I said as we stopped. I looked over my shoulder, but saw nothing.
"Something wrong?"
"Uh, no. Just seeing things." I said as I shook my head.
Another step was taken before I felt a deep burning pierce through my midriff. I could taste a familiar iron that I new was blood and looked down. I could see an enormous blade jut from my stomach and drip a dark crimson from the tip. I felt the weight of my feet on the ground lessen and could see that I was being lifted upward. My feet hung down and Twilight screamed out an ear-shattering cry. I couldn't speak or move as I was tossed away and struck the wall. I dropped down onto the cold concrete and my innards slipped out. I could only watch as the dark figure held down Twilight and began to slowly sink into the ground. He held a dark, toothy grin across his pale face as he dissipated. Twilight's screams of protest and fear faded, but her last word echoed in my mind. My name.
I felt instead of anger; fear as to what could happen to Twilight. I felt helpless as the image of her in my mind was replaced by something gruesome. The words were replaced by an almost whisper from nowhere. "Well doesn't it just suck to be you right now. How's about I give you a little help? That is, with a little compensation." A short skeletal figure appeared towering above me with the same horrid smile as what had done this to me and had taken her . "C'mon, you scratch my back, I scratch yours. You help me out, I help you. You give me your soul and I get you back the one he took. Deal?"
The blood pooled around me as it looked down to meet my gaze. The thought of simply giving up was ever present, but I wasn't that kind of person. What I could manage to say was only a faint hiss. "Deal"
A light absorbed me and it all ended. I opened my eyes to the moonlight of the night sky as my heart raced. I looked to my side as Twilight affectionately held onto me. I raised my free hand to my face and wiped off the small amount of sweat.
"I'm going to have to ask Jeremy for some sleep suppressants if this shit keeps up." I said tiredly as I eased back into the zone of comfort beside Twi.

Chapter 36: "Nice sleeve"
I did my best to relax but the thought of the dreams kept wracking my mind. "Your not crazy, you are not crazy. Liquor just fucks with you. Yeah, that's it." I hoped. I looked back to Twilight. "Why is it that everything started going tits up for me when you showed up?" I asked rhetorically. She stirred a bit and sighed. I started rubbing my temples. "Don't let this stupid shit get to you, take reign, show who's boss." I sighed and laid my head back down. "Well I'm fucked."
I closed my eyes and tried to think of something calm, peaceful, happy. I fell back asleep and hoped to just blow through to the next day. A minute seemed to pass and I eased open my eyes. It was dark and hazy. I felt warm and sticky, it was hard to breath. I tried to move, but only found a deep quake of strain and agony. I let out long groan and started to see clearer. Whatever it was was standing over me again.
"What the fuck?! I'm still here!"
"This is gonna hurt...a lot." He gave a toothy grin and pressed his hand to my forehead.
A feeling worse than any migraine shot through and my mind warped and ached from the stinging pain. I could feel things move back into place and the same feeling you get from ripping off a bandage spread over my body. I pushed my self up from the ground. I staggered to my feet and felt heavy.
"No no no, this just wont do. Give me your arm." It demanded.
I hesitated and looking down at my clothes to see the gaping tear in the suit. The cold air send a chill to my open midriff.
"Give it hear. You want her back or what?"
I stuck out my arm and it grabbed it with its thin fingers. The hand hovered up my arm, all the way to my shoulder and gripped onto the fabric. With one quick tug the sleeve of the suit ripped off and it eyed my arm hungrily.
"Very nice." It nodded. "Keep fit, do ya?"
I shrugged, uncertain what it was going to do .
It dug it's claws into the skin and the length of it burned. I grit my teeth and tried to hold out. The burning grew stronger and stronger and stronger. I pulled away and stumbled backwards to the wall. My arm twitched and spasmed as the burning continued. I shut my eyes at the pain. "What the fffuck!"
The skin singing pain stung at my nerves. It started to let up and I opened my eyes. all along the arm were marks and symbols, all glowing red. The skin seemed darker. I looked back to the creature with shock and confusion.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed.
"What in hell." It corrected. "Let me explain your situation: it seems a big figure from deep down took a liking to that girl of yours. With that, Oh ho ho, you can cause some damage and get some payback." It laughed. "Have a go on that can." it said pointed at some garbage.
I looked at it and raised my arm. The marking glowed brighter and some started to float off my arm and move toward my hand. "Where do I come up with this shit? " I asked myself. They gathered and formed something resembling a pistol. I gripped it, but there was no trigger. I looked back to the creature. "What am I sup-"
"Just imagine it shot the can." It cut me off.
I looked back at the garbage and aimed it. A bolt of red shot from it and hit the can. Pieces of metal scattered and whatever it was started clapping.
"Well done. Now see that bike." It said looking past me.
I looked back to see a sports bike parked next to a dumpster.
"Touch it."
The pistol dissipated and the symbols came back to my arm. I walked toward the bike. I placed my hand on the handle and the marking moved to the bike. They surrounded it and the light to the bike turned on. The engine revved and it beckoned me to get on. The creature jumped up onto my back.
"For the record, name's Marrow." It stated. "Now hop on it and lets get going."
I lifted my leg over over the seat and held onto the handlebars. I revved the gas handle and sped out the ally to the open street. It was all different, it wasn't just a road, well, it was just a road.
"Highway to the underworld." Marrow explained. "Stretches on forever."
"Wait, then how the fuck do I get there?"
"The gate to the underworld lies just beyond the sound barrier. C'mon, chop chop. If you want her back your going to have to do it."
It really started to piss me off with all the fucked up moments I've been having in my sleep. "When I'm done with this bullshit, I'm seeing a therapist. I'm tired of this load of piss."
"Whatever you say monkey." Marrow chuckled.
"Don't start shit with me." I said flatly. "I could kill you too."
"Yeah, and then what? Trudge around hell forever trying to find her? You need me. Your lucky I was around when I was. Now hop to it."
I revved the gas again and sped off down the endless road. I felt water drip down as it rained. I leaned forward and felt the air whip past me as I sped up. I went faster and faster and the air felt like it was cutting into me. My eyes began to sting as the wind blew into them. I squinted and everything lessened in focus. It all grayed and I woke.
I looked around. Twilight, roof, bottle, all there. I closed my eyes and rubbed my hand along my face. I opened them to see my arm was covered in the red marks and my eyes widened.
"How's it going monkey?" Marrow cackled.
My eyes shot open. "Nyeagh!" I shot up from my spot to be sitting on the roof.
Twilight jumped from her sleep and looked up to me frightened. "What? Whats happening?!"
I breathed heavily as I looked back to my arm. It was normal and I calmed. "Um, nothing, go back to sleep."
She lied back down. I still sat there holding my head in my hands. "Okay, fuck sleeping then." I let out a irritated sigh. "I really need to get my shit together before Freddy shows up."

After another few hours of holding out I manged to the morning. The sun rose and glowed over us. I started to think about why I decided to climb up to the roof, though it wasn't the first time I camped out up there. The warm rays shined on us and the usual morning sounds came about. Birds chirped, people walked by, and the occasional car passed. Twi woke and sat up next to me stretching.
"Morning." She yawned.
"Uh yeah, morning." I said with jitter in my voice
She gave a small grimace and looked off.
"What what's wrong?" I asked with a twitching eye.
"Nothing. Uh, did you, um...get any sleep last night?" She asked nervously.
"Uh no, no not really." I replied bleary eyed.
"Okay."
"I'm hungry, you hungry?" I asked.
"Sure, let's get some breakfast." She said uncomfortably
"Great." I said as I hung from the edge of the roof and dropped down.
"How am I supposed to get down?" She asked form up there.
"Hang down and kick off. I'll catch you." I called up with outstretched arms.
"I don't know." She said reluctantly.
"Just trust me."
"Okay, I trust you." She said as she slid off the edge.
"On three let go. One...Two."
She looked down to me nervously.
"Three!"
She let go and fell about six feet down onto me. I caught her and fell back hard. My back slammed into the hard concrete and it rocked me over.
"Ugh, fuck you physics. You okay Twi?"
"I'm okay." She said pushing off of me.
"Awesome." I said getting up. "Now let's grab something."
We walked back into the house and through to the kitchen. After digging around for a minute, I gathered milk, a couple bowls and spoons and the box of cornflakes off the top of the fridge. I poured our bowls and add milk to mine and immediately began eating. A little too enthusiastically at that. Twilight simply stared at me uneasily.
I looked to her with a mouthful of cornflake. After a rather hard swallow I spoke. "Something wrong?"
"Are you sure your okay?" She asked.
"Yeah I'm okay, fine, fine, really good. I'm cool." I droned on.
She looked at me with an uncomfortable face. "Hmmm."
"Something wrong?" I asked wiping my face after drinking down my bowl of milk.
"You seem...Off ."
"I'm fine, really."
"I don't know." She nervously.
"Seriously. Everything's fine." I said with an unnecessary amount off nodding.
"Come on." She said grabbing my arm and leading me to the couch.
The pillow was still propped up against the arm of the chair.
"Lie down." She said.
I did and looked up to her. "I don't know what your getting at."
"Take a nap. We can go out when your not." She then spun her eyes around derpy style and gave a moment of awe at just how she did it.
"But I'm not tired." I said with dreary eyes.
She put her hand on my head and patted it. I drifted off. The last thing I saw was her kiss my forehead and sit down on the floor.
"Aw shit, here we go again. "

Chapter 38: No turning back
I opened my eyes and they immediately stung from the oncoming wind. I was blaring down a long road. My back felt heavier. I looked up over my shoulder to see the skeletal figure I knew as Marrow. "We'll fuck, I'm back here."
"And just when did you leave?" Marrow yelled over the engine.
"Never mind. Just how much further is it?"
"I told you this road goes on forever. You need to be going incredibly. Beyond the sound barrier ring any bells?"
I looked down at the speedometer. "Then we're not getting anywhere with this; it tops at three-twenty."
"Focus monkey, I gave you that shit along your arm for a reason."
I leaned back and let the speed roll on. I dropped forward and twisted the gas handle. My arm glowed and the bike sped up.
"We still aren't getting anywhere." Marrow called down.
"Well what the hell else is there?"
"I said focus! Are you always this stupid?"
I glared at him over my shoulder, then turned around and pressed forward. I concentrated on being faster. The feeling of being pushed came from behind and the bike went even faster. Everything seemed to blur as we shot down the road. Something came into view from afar. A large wall. We neared and I braked and leaned to the side. The bike skid to a stop sideways.
"And here we are." Marrow said over me.
I stared up at it. Dozens of rotting corpses lined up the walls. Marrow hopped down and strut gleefully to the gate. I followed and watched as the gates slowly creaked open.
"First things first, if you're down here you've gotta change your look." Marrow snapped his fingers. "Well?"
"What?" I asked staring down at him.
"Well what do you think?" He asked looking me over.
I looked down to see the tattered remains of the suit replaced with dark scuffed jeans, a t-shirt, and my leather jacket. My shoes were replaced with a pair of red and white sneakers. I looked back at him.
"Here," He said handing me a pair of orange tinted sunglasses.
I took them and looked them over.
"A lot of this place is done up to deceive humans." He stated. Put those on and you see what it really looks like.
I braced myself and set them on the bridge of my nose. I adjusted them comfortably and looked up to the gate. instead of blood and bodies and hellfire I saw what looked like a nightclub scene.
"This is just too weird." I said shaking my head.
"Take a look over to that puddle." Marrow said pointing.
I walked over to it and looked down. Even my hair was different. It was styled up and I had side burns that were trimmed and sleek.
"C'mon monkey." Marrow said walking through the open doors to hell.
I followed through and everything seemed normal. It was like a market or carnival was going on. Stand after stand of food, games and people. Marrow lead his way through the throng of it and we were sucked in.
After minutes of walking, something caught my eye. A woman farther off was walking around naked. The fact she was naked wasn't what was catching me, it was her hair. Lengthy navy with pink and purple highlights. I split off from marrow and tried to follow her . Her pace heightened and I jogged and weaved to keep pace.
"Hey! Wait!" I yelled.
She didn't hear me and kept up. I followed ducking and weaving through people and stands. I knew it was her, once or twice I caught a glance of her rear and saw the same pink star surrounded by five white stars. The sound of Marrow yelling at me trailed off. "Where you going Monkey?"
I ignored him and kept chase. She kept taking turn after turn and I followed her trying to catch up.
"Please! Stop! I need to talk to you!" I called out.
She still didn't hear me. I continued on after her. I lost sight of her and stopped, frantically looking around. I spotted a glimpse of her in a crowd and dove in after. I lost sight again and stood up high trying to look for her. I saw her move along the edge of the crowd and turn to wave at me. It was definitely her.
"Twilight! Twiiiliiiight!" I ran after her.
Slipping between people and stalls I followed her onward.
I kept on losing her, but pressed on. I wasn't giving up. Then it hit me. I stopped and looked around. I saw her again. She had stopped too and was looking at me. She smiled and waved before walking off. I lightened my pace and kept on following her. She seemed to let up and instead walked. I followed on and saw her turn back to me then slip inside a building.
I went in after and saw the crowd moving around and talking. I weaved through and kept up as I spotted Twi move through it. I kept on toward the stairs as she went up them. I jogged up and walked through the door to be on the roof. Light and people were everywhere. Everyone having a good time. I looked around to see Twi stop and turn to me near the edge of the roof. I hurried after and she smiled as I neared.
"Twi, why were y-"
I was cut off as she faded and I stood there staring at nothing. My mouth hung open and I walked to the very spot she stood. I waved my hand through the open space. I felt something jump onto my back.
"Jeez Monkey, I thought you'd never stop. Nice view." He said looking over my head.
"Marrow , I...I thought I..."
"Ah, you saw her eh. Hmm, if I'm right that means she's thinking about you." He laughed. "We're in the underworld, Monkey. It messes with your head. Now let's get back on track." He said steering me toward the door.

Chapter 39: "I hate this place"
I hung my head as I walked down the stairs. Marrow sat on my back leading me. I pushed through the crowd and left the building with a bitter sigh and walked on.
"So where to now?" I asked.
"That way." He pointed.
I kept on in the direction and continued wishing it would just end and never bother me again. I walked past a few stands and Marrow gripped onto my neck and leaned toward them, pulling me down to it's contents. I looked down at the table of leather goods wondering what he was doing. After fiddling around he dropped down to the table and lifted up to me a belt with three pouches; a large one in the middle with two smaller ones a short distance away.
"What d'you think Monkey?" Marrow asked.
"Neat."
He handed me the belt and after I weaved it the loops of my jeans and slipped the pouches on the right spot, I buckled it. It fit well and was comfortable. The larger pouch to my back and the smaller ones on my sides, I still had free movement.
"Wait one more thing, while you were off some bloke walked up to me. Said he was a friend and handed me this piece of guff." Marrow said bringing up a white and red cloth.
I took it and looked it over, knowing exactly what it was. "So Huang makes a cameo." I said with a lighthearted smile.
I tied it around my left wrist and felt just a little more confidant.
"Let's get moving. I feel like kicking some ass." I said with determination.
"At's the spirit." Marrow said hopping up. "Now mush." He said pointing off.
I jogged off with a vigor rivaled by a tiger. I had a blood rush that wasn't gonna stop. Marrow's direction lead to an even larger building with plenty of people. I walked in ready for anything. I looked around the amass of people.
"What is this place?" I asked.
"Tall, dark and ugly's pad. I kinda like it." Marrow answered. "That way." He pointed off.
I walked through the crowd to an elevated section with more people and continued looking around.
"Oi!" Marrow called out.
I followed his gaze to see the very same thing that had taken Twi. It gave off the very same grin it did when it nearly killed me.
"Hey asshole!" I yelled out to him.The marks traveled down my arm to my hand and made the pistol again."I'm taking back what's mine motherfucker!"
I aimed at him and fired off a shot. He ducked and his grin shifted into a sneer. Everyone poured out and left only the two of us and Marrow. I still aimed the strange weapon at him and fired off again. He ducked and dodged each shot as I fired them. He quickly made his way to us and I opted out of the pistol to fists. I punched and connected with his jaw and he swung back. I dodged and wound back to let out a kick. He caught it and twisted to spin me around.
With the snap of his fingers a hole opened and it pulsated and glowed. He pushed forward and let go as I stumbled into it.
"Oh son of a-"
I fell through the portal and free fell.
"BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!"

Chapter 40: Stroke of luck
I plummeted like a rock straight down to the awaiting ground.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
My eyes shot open just as I was about to hit the ground. I jumped from my spot to a sitting position. "Ah!"
Twice that day I had startled Twilight like that now. She looked up to me from the book she was reading with widened eyes. I breathed heavily looking over to her. I calmed a bit and pushed back into my laying position, shaking the couch. I rubbed my hands along my face trying clear my head. "Why won't it stop? "
I could feel Twilight taking a seat beside me. I lowered my hands and looked up to her. Even though she wore a concerned look, she still held that warm smile. I let out a breath and really calmed.
"Another one?" She asked.
"Yeah."
"Could y-"
"No," I cut her off. "I won't."
"Why not?" She asked.
"I can't."
"Please, can you try?"
"No Twilight, I'm not telling you." I looked away
"It couldn't have-"
"Yes Twilight, it was that bad." I cut her off again.
She placed her hand on my cheek and move my face to look back at her. I could see the trust and faith in her eyes.
"I'm still not telling you." I said with a light-hearted smile.
"Fine." She said rolling her eyes.
"So what do you feel like doing?" I asked.
"I don't know. I might take you up on that library offer." She said looked back down at me.
"Alright," I grabbed onto her arm and pulled her down on top of me and kissed her.
"Easy there." She said propping herself up.
"Yeah, yeah."
"Oh, that reminds me. Your friend stopped by and left this for you." She said reaching down to where the bottles of beer and aspirin still sat.
She pulled up a small piece of folded paper and I took it. "A note?"
"Don't know. It's not like I'd invade your privacy like that."
I unfolded the note and read.
Listen Bro,
I'm sorry for all the shit we put you through. I was a real douche and I want to try to make it up to you.
I finished with your bike, so you can just ask and I'll let you grab it.
~Justin
PS - I left you something special in the map compartment.
Just in case.
I tossed the note toward the bottles and looked back to Twilight. "I guess we have a stroke of luck."
She gave a curious face and hopped off. I sat up and stood next to her.
"Go wait outside. I'll be there in a sec. 'Kay?" I asked walking down the hallway.
"Okay." I heard her answer back.
I walked past the bathroom and into my room. I stepped over to the side table and opened the drawer. I grabbed a pair of tinted goggles and closed the drawer. I walked back down the hall and out the door to see Twilight waiting. We crossed the street and I knocked on Justin's door. Nothing.
"Just like last time." I said smiling at Twilight.
She nodded and I walked around the house, leaving her on the porch. I opened the door to the garage, but he wasn't in there either. I saw my bike resting on it's kickstand and opened the garage door. I kicked up the stand and wheeled it outside. I closed the garage door and hopped on. The key was in the ignition and I turned it. The engine came alive and I steadily twisted the gas handle and pulled down the driveway.
"Ready to go?" I asked Twilight.
She nodded and I strapped the goggles to my face. "Then get on and let's go"
I left you something in the map compartment,
As Twilight sat down behind me I opened it and reached in to feel something small and rubbery. I pulled it out to see a small rubber disc wrapped in plastic.
Just in case.
I smiled at it. "You fucking asshole."
Twilight only looked at it curiously. "Hey, it's another one of those things. What's it for anyway?" She asked innocently.
"I'll tell you later." I said handing it to her. "You hold onto it, I'd probably lose it."
"Okay." She said curiously looking it over.
"Hold on." I called back.
I revved the gas and sped out the driveway, scarring her. She latched onto me and I felt content with her holding on. I sped on down the road, enjoying her and finally getting my bike back.

I sped down the road. Twilight still held onto me with widened eyes. Her hair was blowing through the air almost cartoonically. The load popping spouts of the engine roared and made it hard to really hear anything.
"When- Oh who am I kidding. If, we finish up with the library, is there anything else you might wanna do?" I yelled over the engine.
She perked up a bit. "Not at the moment. I'm sure I'll think of something."
[Montage moment]
I follow Twilight down an isle in the library. She browses around with crossed arms and a hand to her chin. She pulls book after book from the shelves and hands them to me. The books begin to stack and when we get back to the front desk she looks back to see me struggling with an enormous pile. I set the books down on the desk and it gives way. The librarian looks down at the mess with a dropped jaw. I grabbed Twilight and hurry out the door.
We cruise down the road and she points at a store. I park and we walk in. She looks over different clothes and leads me over to the changing rooms. I wait outside and she steps out wearing a skirt and sweater. I nod and she walks back in. She steps back out with tights and a tank top. I move my hand sideways in an iffy movement. She walks back in and steps out wearing only a pair of lacy underwear. I whistle and give thumbs up. She goes back in and comes out with the pile of clothes and we walk to register. $68.79. I reach into my pocket and toss down a roll of hundreds. The cashier looks down at it dumbstruck.
We pass by another store and she points it out. She looks around the classical section of a music shop. I stand in the next isle with headphones on, headbanging to rock music. She comes over and I hand her the headphones. She puts them on and immediately throws them off and covers her ears. I look at the demo station to see the volume at one hundred percent. I turn it down with a sheepish grin.
She spots a store with a few dogs in front and points at it. We look around the pet store and I follow her around as she looks around the fish. She looks at a small red one in a tank. An eel pops out from a hiding spot and she jumps. I look down at it with awe while she hides behind me. We walk out and I see a homeless man sitting near the door with a stray dog. I reach into my pocket and hand him a few hundreds. He looks up to me with bright eyes and a wide smile. He pets his dog affectionately and Twilight holds onto my arm.
We pass by a cafe and I park. We take a table and wait. The waiter comes and takes our orders. A busboy walks by and trips. A small handful of dishes fly through the air and hit me spilling scraps over me. I wipe the pasta off my face and glare at him. Twilight covers her face fearfully. She uncovers them to see me helping him up and gather some of the spilled dishes. Another patron comes over to me with a towel and gives it to me. I clean up and the manager says his sorries. I look back to Twilight and she gives an approving smile.
We pass by a movie theater and I stop in the lot. I look up the front sign and point at a few of the movie titles. She nods and I step up to the ticket booth. I hold up two fingers and slip the money through the slot. He slips back the tickets and change. We sit in the back row of a horror movie and kiss. The killer makes his grand scene and everyone screams while me and Twilight are absorbed in each other. The movie ends and we leave. I take seat on the bike.
"Decent enough day?" I ask looking to her
"Pretty good." She smiles.

I parked my bike in the driveway. The day that started out pretty shit, ended up going a lot better for me. I carried the bags in as Twilight took seat on the couch. I set them down and looked at the clock. The day had seemed to blow by, but I wasn't complaining. It was already fairly late, "A little reading and It's a day." I thought sitting down on the couch.
"Wait, you still haven't explained to me what...this is." She said reaching into her pocket.
I felt some bit happy to see how well she was grasping things, but a particularly large knot in my stomach came about as she held up the familiar plastic wrapped rubber discus. My smile shifted to that of awkwardness and tried to look off. "Oh fuck!"
"Well, uh...that's um. It's a..." I sighed and looked back to her. "Do you want me to lay things down thick or lighten it up?"
"I'd prefer you go the most direct way, spare no information, please." She had that same sense of innocents and I could feel my heart sink at just how much I had muddied it already.
"Well dumb-ass, you managed the whole corkscrew into your hand. Might as well give it a twist." I bitterly thought to myself. I let out a deep breath. I slumped forward. "Well Twilight, that...item, is, unique....in it's purpose."
She brightened to hear that and obviously wanted to know more.
I sighed and kept it up. "It's a...sexual type of...item."
Confusion swept her as she looked back down at it.
"You see, if I were to say...hypothetically, have sex with...you, I would unwrap it, then unroll it and slide it onto my...you know...and if we did say, have sex, then neither of us could get a sexual type of disease or, in your case, pregnant."
"Oh." She said slinking back against the couch. A small blush had found it's way across her face. "But, I'm not in heat. Would it really matter?"
"Yes Twilight, it would matter. Your not a pony, your a human. Humans don't have a season for this kind of thing, they can reproduce all year 'round." I explained.
"That's...fascinating." She said looking off. "So, can I ask? Why did you give me it?"
I let out another deep breath. "I don't know, a just in case sort of thing."
"Oh, okay." She moved her hand over to mine.
I felt horrible for doing that, but the truth hurts everyone. "Now could we possibly move on and talk about this later?" I asked.
"Sure."
I noticed just how much time had passed after, that, and decided it would be about time to end the day. I felt a little more comfortable now knowing Twilight was okay with the whole thing to some extent. "I guess it's about time to hit the sack."
She nodded and got up. I comfortably moved into my spot on the couch.
"Here?" Twilight asked looking down at me.
"What d'you mean?" I asked.
"Aren't you uncomfortable with me always lying on you?"
"Not really, Why you asking?" I said moving up into a sitting position.
"No reason. Don't you think a bed would be more comfortable?" She asked.
"Yeah, that's why I'm letting you have it and I'm sleeping out here."
"We've slept together for the past three nights. I don't think you have to do anything else."
The moment felt weird now that I just explained to her what a condom was, and she still wanted me with her.
"Come on." She said taking my by the hand.
She lead me down the hall to my bedroom and let go. I took seat on the bed and she did the same. I flipped off the light and lied down with her next to me.
"So, when do you think it would be okay to use that, thing?"
"Whenever you feel ready Twi."
We shared a quick kiss and she dozed off. I still lied there, staring at the ceiling.
"I feel happy to be with her, but it still all feels a bit wrong." I thought
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
I eased them back open. I was lying on the ground and my head hurt a bit. Pushed off the ground and looked around myself.
"C'mon Monkey, looks like it'll take a little longer than I thought."
~Honestly, I don't even know where I was going with that but, hey, it's something right?

Chapter 43: New equipment
I took in my surroundings and felt like I was only a spec of dust. All across my field of view, far out into every horizon was an empty wasteland of scorched earth and dead trees. Even the sky set me off uncomfortably, it held a bloody crimson tinge and was as empty as the earth. It felt cold and empty, like deaths icy grip was already back on me.
"Where the fuck are we?" I asked standing atop a hill.
"The wasteland of eternity." Marrow explained. "We're in a different part of hell right now."
"What happened to all the parties and people?"
"That was that part. You see, The underworld is as complex and varied as, well, nothing you'd know of or understand." Marrow trailed off.
"Son of a bitch!" I roared kicking up a cloud of ashen dirt. "When I find my way back there I'm gonna tear that fucker a new one."
"Calm it down. How do you think you got dropped in here in the first place? You got hotheaded and did something reckless." Marrow scoffed.
I shot a glare at him. "Well you sure as shit didn't help."
"I'm no fighter. That's why I get unlucky bastards like you to do work for me."
It took every ounce of will power to not punt him right then and there.
"Then what do you suggest I do?"
"Study your enemy Monkey, learn, adapt, defeat." He spouted off.
"Fine." I said sitting down on the burned ground. I thought over how the giant cock suck went up to me.
"He's fast, he dodged everything I shelled out. Ranged fighting didn't do much. He fought up close and was pretty tough at that. My fists didn't do shit, maybe I need to work on melee fighting."
"Hey Marrow, this stuff wouldn't happen to help with up close fighting, would it?"
"See for yourself." He said with an eery smile.
I stood up and thought of something, something that could hit fast and hard. Something maneuverable. Not just a weapon, something that would an extension of me. Something...something. It hit me. A sword! It's perfect.
I focused and the markings floated over to my hand. They formed into an elongated tubular object a little longer than a foot. One end came out strangely spherical then ridged. The other end came out thicker, with two more smaller ridged pieces on either ends of a box shaped part. The box piece extended out over a meter, it a thin guide bar with a smaller thick piece the was rounded on the end. The smaller tubular pieces extended out in the form of a hand guard. I looked down at it with curiosity. "Not what I expected."
I noticed on the other side of the top was a switch. I pushed it. A click and wuur sounded off and a green light shot between. The light was bright and warm and flickered as I moved around. It produced a low hum that increased in strength when I swung it around.
"Sweet." I said with a high amount of enthusiasm.
I spotted a nearby dead tree and approached it. I raised the glowing blade and swung at the tree. The weapon seemed to completely phase through. The tree gave in and most of it dropped down, a large smooth cut where I had swung. I looked between the tree and the sword almost a dozen times. "Holy shit! This thing is freakin' awesome!" I looked back up to the blood red sky. "Dream, your finally starting to kick ass."
Marrow looked over at me contently. "Liking the new toy, huh?"
"Oh hell yeah. I can't wait to cut into that giant motherfucker with this thing."
It felt exactly how I wanted it to. Light, comfortable, Like an extension of my arm. It was perfect. It dissipated and the marks moved back to their spots. I looked back to marrow. "Let's get moving, I got some anger issues to work out."
He hopped up onto my back. "We might have a way to go. lucky me, I know a town on the edge of this place we could rest up at."
"Nothing long. Remember, I have someone waiting."
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
I walked through the seemingly endless stretch of burned earth, never dropping or raising in pace. The Invisible sun beat down on me as I pushed on through the trek. My legs ached and strained, but I kept going without second thought. Marrow clung to my back quietly and likely asleep. The thought of finally getting back there and seeing her was all that kept me going. Even that hope that she was still okay was beginning to fleet.
I started to see things, flashes, minor images of her. Her face, her mark, her naked form. It was at least somewhat pleasurable, even though it wasn't real. I spotted something along the horizon; a dark spec. I continued toward it, sweat beading and rolling down my face. My mouth was unbearably dry and burned for liquid. I decided to heighten my pace, move faster, anything to shorten my time. I began to understand just how this was a part of hell.
The spec grew in time and I could just begin to see the outline of a town. "This must have been what marrow was talking about."
I dropped any thought of taking things slow and pacing myself. I started to run toward it, the movement of my shoulders woke Marrow. "What, What? What's happening?" He asked groggily.
"Town." I panted.
He looked in the direction we were headed. I kept running. I felt the heat sink in and burn. It nipped at my skin and made me only feel worse. My head felt the hottest. It was heavy and my hair was damp with sweat. I was just outside it. the town was right there, just a few feet away. My knees buckled and my legs pulled me down. My face meet with the sand-like ash of the ground and my eyes lulled. The last thing I could remember was Twilight's voice, her scream echoed in my head and I blacked out.
My eyes eased back open and I could just barely see someone. A woman holding a wet cloth to my forehead, her face was contorted and unfocused. Everything seems darker and eery. The sunglasses were gone, probably put away. I felt colder and I noticed my jacket was folded beside me. She could see me come to and reached for a glass. Her hand was behind my head and raised it to the glass of water. I drank and felt the cool water wash down my parched throat. I still couldn't believe this was just a dream. It all felt so real.
I cleared my throat and looked back to her. "Thanks."
"It's nothin' to thank me for, it was the right thing to do. Your the first person to come here in a while. And from what Marrow has told me, the first person to willingly come here."
Her voice was soft and kind. I looked around the room. It was darkly stained and empty.
"Where are my sunglasses?" I asked.
"I'll get them." She said walking off.
She came back after a minute and I placed them back onto the bridge of my nose. It all cleared and I could see her face. She was a young girl at most. The room focused and I could see it. It was well furnished and decorated. Velvet lined chairs and curtains, rosewood tables and hanging murals. There were beautiful woman around the room talking, drinking and a few looking over to me. I waved and they smiled back.
I turned my attention back to the young girl. "Where am I?"
"The old town of Dustcloud." She explained. "Right now your in the towns brothel."
"Brothel?" I looked at her with a mixture of confusion and wonder. "Wait, why would you be in a brothel?"
"I run it. The little demon you came here with: Marrow, he's an old friend."
"Marrow. " I thought to myself. I looked down at my arm. The marking he had left still held there red glow. I looked back at her. "Where is he?"
"Outside."
I got up from the couch I had been laying on. "Thanks for all, you know."
"Like I said: it's nothing."
Grabbed my jacket from the table and walked toward the door. I heard a few snickers and looked around.
"What?" I asked.
"Um..." The young girl nodded down.
I looked to see that my pants and shoes were gone and that instead I had on socks and a rather tight pair of boxer-briefs.
"Aw son of a bitch."

Chapter 45: Flying a flag
"Could I get my pants back?" I asked with my hands hovering over myself.
"Alright, give me minute." She said walking off.
"Keep it together man, plenty of girls have seen you like this. Never a room full of them, but still a decent number. Just...just think about Twilight. Your comfortable with her seeing you like this and you the likewise her. Wait! No don't think about Twilight like that!" I did my best to keep cool and push thoughts like that out.
The girls all seemed to think it was funny for me to react like that.
The young girl came back with the folded jeans as well as my belt and sneakers and handed them to me. "I cleaned them up a bit."
"Thanks." I said slipping the jeans back on and fastened the belt. I sat back to on the couch and strapped the sneakers back to my feet. "I appreciate your help and I'll find someway to help back, but I have something to do."
A small smile came across her face. "I'm not so certain you'll be out of here so soon." She said in a matter of fact tone. "There's a decent distance before your out of here and a lot longer until you get where you're headed."
"Well shit. Sorry Twi. I hope you can hold out."
"May I ask of your name?" She said to me.
"James." I answered with and extended hand. "You?"
She took the hand and we shook. "Margaret."
"It's nice to know you. Now if you''ll excuse me, I have a little pain in the ass to talk to." I said getting up and starting for the door.
"When you're done, I would like to continue this."
"Got it." I said giving her a thumbs up with a turned back as I walked out the door.
I spotted Marrow sitting upfront looking off. He turned to me.
"So how you likin' this place Monkey?"
"It's alright, the people are better than I expected. A lot more human and caring."
"Well that's just it." He said. "You humans always try to help each other. Doesn't matter where you are or whats going on, it's just helping each other."
"Get used to it." Said dryly. "You deal with humans, you understand humans."
"Whatever now listen up, the walking shadow himself has quite a few of his lackeys spread out everywhere, including this town. He's a lot bigger a threat than you think and getting rid of him would weaken this place. I myself would only benefit from such. Now everyone in the shit hole would like to go back to living there lives. The only problem is: he's in the way. Now if we can rally up some support, then maybe, just maybe, you could kick his arse.
"And If I get rid of his little underling, I might just get some support." I jumped in.
"Exactly" He said nodding. "Go back and talk to the young lass in there. She may just know how to help."
"On it." I said walking back in.
She saw me come back and and was seated on the couch. On the table was a ceramic pot of tea and cups. She motioned for me to sit. I took the seat.
"I believe you understand what I would like to talk about now, correct?"
I nodded.
"Splendid. Then I assume we can move on to business? Marrow and I can see a lot of potential in you and neither of us have the strength or ability to deal with him. So we agreed you would do well. Marrow has told me about you and your actions in life. You seemed to have made quite the leader and are willing to fight. Do you think you could help and found the cause to stop him?"
I nodded again.
"Good. First you must win over the hearts and minds of this town. Dispatching one of his followers in a public scene may very well just do that."
I stood up from my seat. "Point me in the right direction and I'll take it from there."
A larger smile formed along her face. "Follow me then." She said as she set her cup down and rose from the seat.
I followed her outside and Marrow tagged along. We walked down the empty burned dirt road to a shop where a few larger men stood outside. One of them was antagonizing what I guessed was the owner.
"There." Margaret said. "Those are the people we need to get rid of."
I looked back to her. "Why are they people? I thought all the humans in this place acted like humans, not like that giant asshole."
"They're different." She explained. "They took offers and became henchmen to demons. They're no better than who they work for.
"If you say so." I said walking closer. "Hey you!"
They turned to me.
"Yeah you! Quit pickin' on these people or else!"
They laughed and the largest one walked toward me. "Oh yeah, and just what are you gonna do about it."
The marks floated to my hand and formed the hilt. "I'll make you." I said wryly.
"Oooh, scary. You've got a toy." He laughed.
My eyes narrowed and I glared at him.
"Alright tough guy, I'll let you take the first hit."
He was only twenty feet away. The guide bar extended. "Bad move." I said lowly.
The blade lit and I sprinted toward him.
"Wait, What the-"
He was cut off literally. I had swung and cut through him like nothing. The top half of him slid off and hit the ground limply, the bottom simply toppled in a small shower of blood.
The two smaller ones only feet away panicked. One stood frozen with fear, the other ran. I swung at the still one and where the top of his head had been now spurted blood as his tongue waggled and a gargle was made. The other half dropped to the ground. I pushed the majority of it down and watched as the last one ran. The sword fizzled out and the marks changed to the pistol. I aimed and fired. The red bolt flew through the air with amazing speed and struck his leg. Instead of simply going through or hitting and burning into him, it tore through his leg. A large section had been blown to bit's and the rest had flown off a few feet to scatter along the ground. He wailed out and pulled along the ground in a crawl, still trying to get away.
I walked toward him and as I reached him set my foot on his back weighing him down. The pistol changed back to the hilt and the blade shot out. I brought it down by his neck.
"Got something to say before your dead twice over?"
He only gave a whimper and a pained groan.
"No? Good." I said raising the green blade from his neck.
I lifted the hilt up upside down and plunged it down into his back. He screamed and it was silenced as I cut up and outward from his body and through his head. It was split through and blood poured out onto the blackened ground. I looked up to the small gathered crowd.
The hilt faded and I spoke out. "People of, uh, Dustcloud. I come to...bring freedom... to you and end...whatever his name's reign over you. What you say to a resistance? An ending of the suffering? Taking back blood for blood? What of you will join me in taking him down?"
I silently hoped that would work.
A man stepped forward. "I will."
Murmurs from the crowd arose and another man came forward. "I will."
Another came. "Me too."
One by one more people came forward and agreed. I looked back to Margaret. She held a wide, hopeful smile.
"Who shall we rally behind? What symbol do we show?" Someone asked.
"I will." I said. "I'll lead us. I'll take the charge and lead this group." I looked back to Margaret. I turned back to the crowd. "Hold on."
I walked back to her and Marrow.
"Can you help me with something?" I looked back at the crowd "I need something to write with and paper."
"I have something" A man said holding up a piece of vellum.
I walked to him and took it with a nod.
"I have a pen" Another called out.
I took that as well and quickly scribbled out a picture on it. I hurried back to Margaret. "Could you make this?" I asked. She nodded.
After some time she had finished with a large black cloth and had sewn the image into it. She gave it to me and I walked out to the growing crowd of people. I held up the flag for all to see and spoke them.
"I came to the underworld to take back what he took from me. I will not stop until his head is on a pike and I have her back
The crowd cheered and clapped.
"We will be known as 'Hells Twilight'." I said with a sense of pride and hope.

Chapter 46: Forging an army
The crowd of people cheered on.
"I will need word to be spread of our actions, people to be recruited. I must take my leave and liberate other towns. Spread word of freedom and revolution. Strength must be built and action must be taken."
I finished and folded the flag. Placing it under my arm, I walked back into the brothel. Inside I saw Marrow and Margaret conversing. They both looked over to me.
"It seem you were the correct choice." Margaret stated.
"Great job Monkey, you got everyone up and going."
My face became more serious. "If I keep to my word, then we should hurry and move on. Are there any other towns nearby?" I asked looking to Marrow.
"Not for a while."
"If you're ready then I must pack something for you." Margaret said walking off.
I looked back to Marrow and he shrugged.
She came back with a small leather bound container.
"Here." She said handing it to me.
I could hear something slosh around in it.
"It's a long trip, you'll need plenty water. Remember? We can't have our new leader die out in the wastes."
I nodded and fastened it to my belt.
I still had the flag and held it out to her. "Hang this up for everyone to see."
She placed her hand to it and pushed it back to me. "You hold onto it. When you arrive at the towns show the flag and give your speech. People will listen and join us. Don't worry, I'll make another."
"Alright." I said placing the flag inside my largest pack. The black cloth fit snugly inside it. Marrow hopped back onto my back and I made my way out.
I continued on with a new cause. When I had what I needed to, then I'd be ready. Then I could get her back.
I traveled for days worth of time. Town after town, speech after speech. Many more people rallied and cheered when I held the flag atop the corpses. The group strengthened and grew. Soon I had followers. It wasn't long before I had neared my goal. I have finally come close to where I had started from. I was only a few more miles.
I reached another town. It was much better off but still had it's share of his control. I proceeded to follow the same plan. Kill the thugs, make the speech, gather more people. This time it was different.
As I neared where the shouting came from I noticed some very different. Instead of the usual group of men, there was no group, there wasn't even any men. I there place was a single woman. A woman with lengthy blonde hair, a sweater and fatigues.
She spotted me and turned her attention away form the civilians.
The symbols gathered back to my hand and formed the hilt. The guide bar extended outward and the bright green blade flickered to life with its low hum. I gripped onto it tightly and raised it to be pointing at her, my intentions clear. A wicked smile formed on her face as she came closer. I moved my other hand to rest below my right on the hilt.
"It's been a while." S sneered.
*Seriously, don't thumb it down without giving your reason. It's annoying and only makes me more upset that this site has inconsiderate assholes. COMMENT.

I sprinted forward and swung, promptly receiving a strong kick in the bollocks as she nimbly ducked and rolled out of the way. I now staggered blindly in pain as a hand clutched to my likely bruised bean bag and gave an attempt to hold up against her. She was a few inches behind me and I back handed my fist in the direction. She caught it in her hands and I lurched my arm forward to me. She ending up pulling herself in for a shattering headbutt and stumbled back dazed. I swung at her with dire speed only to be caught and have my wielding arm twist around and and open an handed chop land on my chest, knocking the wind out of me. I kicked at her and landed a blow to her stomach, losing her grip.
I swung again and she narrowly moved out of the way and I instead managed to give her an uneven haircut. She took the opening and spun about with a high round house that connected with my jaw. Blood and spittle sprayed out form my mouth and I used the pull back of it to recoil and punch with my free hand. I struck her in a lower cut and she nearly dropped. I swung again with my sword upward. She saw it come and jumped back and out of the way.
I dove in swinging madly and she continued to evade every consecutive slash and deliver another quick hit. I finally decided 'fuck it' and opted to fisticuffs. I circled around her with my hands up in fists boxer style and let out a quick jab. She followed suit and blocked with her forearms. I let out a flurry of combos, but only hit with about six of them. Of coarse, this is my dream so I'm not gonna get off easy.
I uppercutted, breaking her block and proceeded to wail onto her with the pent rage I had built up on site of her. Punch after brutal punch hit her and even then she still held firm. With her face bruised and blood trickling from her nose she defiantly fought back. She gave everything as she mercilessly lashed out blow for blow. I put in some effort to duck and weave but still ended up taking a sneaky boot to the berries or a crafty back hand-stun combo. Almost half an hour had passed and we both weakly swung and fought on. The hits becoming less frequent we both panted and voiced ourselves.
"Why don't...you just...give up?" She breathed blocking my punches and delivering her counter.
"I'm not giving up...not on...her and not against...you." I gasped.
"It's all...pointless you know...you can't always be there...to save her." She panted trying to break me down.
"I don't care...I'll still fight...until she's safe...Whether it be you or some other fuckhead!" I yelled
"Why? You know you'll fail...one day you'll slip up and that's that." She said snappily.
"Because I feel her...I feel what she feels...I care and she cares...I'll be damned if the one person I love is gone! I'll be sure to not stop until your dead you crazy bitch! " I said with a quick snorting puff and the hilt came back to my hand.
I nearly jumped to her with it raised over my head, ready to to cut her down like a tree. She readied and a gave swift punch forward. I stopped dead in my tracks, I couldn't move any further. Her fist was now buried into my chest and pulses of agony and strain came with every beat of my heart. Her other hand moved freely behind her and slipped out a large knife from seemingly no where. She plunged it forward toward my neck.
"Monkey!"
Marrow popped into existence in front of me and the knife sunk into him.
"Marrow!"
I mustered every ounce of strength I had and brought the glowing blade of the sword down, slicing through her arms and managing meager distance between us. Her amputated arm arm still deep in my chest and her other one limply hanging onto the handle of the knife in Marrow who had dropped to the ground. I held the weapon straight out and plunged it into her. The length of the blade pierced through her gut and burned in place.
She gave out a silent gasp and a look of surprise.
"James..." She spoke in a soft resentful voice.
"Yeah?" I wheezed.
"I'm...sorry."
"... I forgive you." I said truthfully, moving the blade horizontally out.
Her innards spilled out onto the ground with a wet smack and she fell forward with a relieved smile onto me. I dropped to my knees, my eyes blurring and fell to my side on top of her.
My eyes slid open lazily to see the shadowed space of my room. The sun narrowly gleaming through the edge of the shades on my window. The thin line of light shined down along Twilight's soft face as she lie next to me. I pulled my arm up around her in a tight embrace and allowed myself to be swept with the fond warmth I felt in my chest. She stirred and gave a silent yawn. Her eyes opening and revealing the same brilliant amethyst they held. I stared lovingly into them and knew there wasn't a single thing in the world that could make me stop have my feelings for her.

Chapter 48: A real moment (WARNING: explicit)
~Again, if this sort of thing disgusts or offends you in any way, it's your fault for clicking on it and reading. Don't be a dumb-ass.
She stared back with a faint, warm smile. "Good morning."
"Yeah, great morning." I said almost lost in her. "You want to know something Twi?"
"Hmmmm."
"Twilight I can't figure you out." I said as the corners of my mouth rose slightly.
"You don't like me?" She asked looking up.
"I never said that. Your just, different "
"So you hate me."
"Well, you can be bland and a bit of know-it-all at points. Your personality's a toughie, you love books and reading and that's all you really want to do. Then somebody shows up or decides to go do something, and then you're off. Your a fucking contradiction colored purple, you're kind of a puzzle to understand."
"So you do hate me."
"You're kind, understanding, and always trying to help someone out. Twi, I'm crazy about you."
"What do you mean?" She asked pressing close to me, her eyes half lidded.
I felt the warmth spread over me and absolutely adored it. "Fuck if I know."
Her face moved closer to mine and her eyes fully closed. I closed mine and our lips pressed and held. Our mouths opened further and my tongue slipped out to play with hers. Moving along each other and pressing together near the tip, I could taste her again. She still held the light bittersweet taste like a strong tea with an orange rind and it still tasted better than anything I'd ever come close to tasting. She reached her arms around my neck and I ran my hand up and down her side.
She pulled out in the middle of it, a thin strand of saliva trailed between us, her eye lids low. "Now."
It took me a minute before I realized what she was talking about. "Wait, now? Here right now?"
She nodded and went back in. Our lips pressed back together and moved. I took my turn to pull out.
"Are you sure? I want you to feel ready and willing, not make it something bland and empty if you aren't." I said with a tone of seriousness.
"Please, I want to truly share this moment with you. I want to really feel you. I want you to truly feel me."
"You're absolutely sure?" I asked once more.
"Yes, I'm certain." She said going back in.
"I know this is wrong in a few ways, but I don't want to be right if it's her. "
I felt her breathing heighten as her chest pressed out to mine faster. The session went on as the closet things to breaks were the quick breaths taken. Our heads started to move in a rhythmatic bob back and forth from me to her. I ran my hands lower and lower, under her shirt, rubbing along her back and shoulders firmly. I could feel her heart beat faster through her tongue and she gave a soft muffled moan. I knew I found a sweet spot and took a mental note of it for later.
She split off and released her grip around me as I lifted her shirt up. I pulled it up and off her and tossed it away before resuming. The lock closed again and we moved with our mouths. Her own hands started to experiment and made their way down and under my shirt, up along my back and to be holding tight on the blades of my shoulders. Her forearms lifted my shirt to bunch up at my chest. We separated again and she slipped it over my head and off me. "She's some student. "
I came back in and kissed hungrily. I pulled down and my hands rested on her soft, tight rump. I gave a squeeze and felt my fingers press into her taut cheeks through the fabric of her jeans. She gave a sharp gasp, stealing breath from me and shuddered just a little. She broke it again and hovered low to my waist. After the five days she'd spent, she now knew just about everything basic. Her hands fiddled around and undid the button to my jeans and pulled down the zipper. "Better than what I do. " I laughed to myself.
She gripped onto the smooth, thick fabric and pulled down. Biting her lower lip while doing so. I brought her back up and looked back into her eyes.
"You're terrible at hiding things." I said with a lighthearted smile.
"I know, I just...will it hurt?" She asked, her words dripping in angst.
"Don't worry, you feel ready and wanna do this, right?"
She nodded.
"I know this is new and a little scary. But that feeling makes it all the more sweeter when you experience it." I said looking into her eyes with deep compassion. "I'll take it easy and slow if you want. This is for you, not me." I lied on the last part, I wanted this as much she did.
Her face brightened and came in for another long and very tongue filled kiss. I split off with spittle trailing and moved my head down to her neck, giving a few bites into the muscle and sucked down hard. Since this was her first time, I was sure as hell making sure the climax would be earth shattering for her. She stifled a gasp and tried to hold firm.
My own hands went low and undid the button to hers. I felt her chest press against mine and my hand pulled the clothes down her smooth silky thighs. Her breathing seemed almost erratic, much different than any other time it was close to this. I guessed that since she very well knew and was ready for what would happen, it was a much different experience.
I finished and kicked off my own and we pressed against each other. Our hips locked and pressed through our undergarments and the kissing started back up. I slid my hand under her side and shifted weight to the right, pulling her up top. She was wearing the black lacy underwear I had gotten her just yesterday. How she had time to change into them, I had no idea. But I still had to admit, they and the purple stitching and floral designing on them made her seem all the more sexy.
She reached down to her legs and touched on the pair of long black and lavender striped stockings she picked out. I broke away. "Keep the socks."
She grinned and came back up for another deep kiss. I held firm on her hips and moved her up and down, focusing on the waist. She helped out and her hip ground against mine. She quivered at the feeling of my stiffening length and moved faster, all the more excited. I had my own blissful moment as her waist rubbed along the length of my shaft, pressed hard against my leg.
Her arms shuddered and my groin started to feel wet. Not from the end, from the base. She had worked up her own excitement and the moist crotch of her panties slid against me. Her eyes had fluttered and her breathing was heavy and labored with quick breaths and the occasional soft moan.
"You feel that?" I asked with a groan of pleasure. "That slight pressure deep in there. Like you might have to go to the bathroom."
"Yes, yes I feel it. I feel it." She panted.
"Good, that means we're getting somewhere." I said with a wide smile. "Wanna experiment?" I asked.
"With what, this?" She asked with a quick gasp and long drawn out moan.
I nodded enthusiastically and she did too. I reached around and felt back up along her upper back. I unhooked the bra and slid the straps around her shoulders and down off her arms. I gazed on at her small but still perky and beautiful breasts. She pressed her meager mounds of flesh down against me and I felt her hardened nipples poke at the skin of my chest. I felt her body shake as she received her own pleasure from it. My fingers rubbed deep down into her shoulders and she gave out a long, low moan as my hands moved in small circles on either side of her spine. "Eeyup, note to self: If ever in the mood, give her a back rub. "
My own equipment had started to give off an almost aching throb and she could easily feel it. Her juices soaked out into my own underwear as well and I could smell the light, sweet musk from the sweat we'd built up. I felt a small drop of pre leak out and mix with her wetness.
"You ready?" I asked, unsure myself.
"Yes" She hissed down into my ear with new found lust and hunger.
"Do you have it?" I asked.
She reached over to the bedside table that my clock was on and slid it off and over to my face.
I let out a deep breath. "You're positive? We could stop right now and just remember this as close enough." I suggested
"No, I really want this moment with you, know what it feels to have someone you love with you."
She shared the feeling. The warmth burned into a fiery passion I knew had to be love and took the wrapped package. I eased her off to be next to me. I ripped open the packaging and pulled out the rubbery translucent discus. After a hard swallow I unraveled it and gave light tugs and stretches to it to be sure it was good and would fit comfortably.
"Brace yourself." I said resting my free hand on the waistband of my boxers.
I slipped it down to reveal my large and slightly twitching erection. I felt blessed to have exceeded the six-inch mark, even if only by another three quarters inch. Her curiosity peaked and she reached toward it, stopping half way before slinking back and looking up to me.
"Go on if you want. It's not like it'll hurt you or anything, unless you'd want it to." I felt rather stupid saying that. "Sorry, that was it talking, not me."
She rolled her eyes and playfully smacked her hand to my chest in a light tap. She focused and reached back to it. Her soft hand brushed against it and I couldn't help but throw my head back a bit and shudder with pleasure. I began to mumble under my breath. "O-oh ho ho yeah."
She continued to gingerly run her fingers along it in quick strokes, getting a feel for it in more than just one way. I continued with the groans and mutters of relief and pleasure. She let out minor coos of her own enjoyment and started to get a little rougher.
Her hand moved closer to the tip. "If I remember correctly, this ," She said lightly scratching at the underside of the crown. "Is the most sensitive spot."
"Now h-h-ow would you know th-that?" I asked caught in a wave of ecstasy.
She smirked teasingly. "Rarity gave me a book about a year ago." She gave a bright smile and a disembodied "squee " was made.
"Oh shit. O-Oh shit!" I groaned out as her hand wrapped around my member.
She gave a few brisk strokes and my eyes nearly rolled into the back of my head. Her touch felt good anywhere. What she was doing now felt like my own piece of heaven. She gave a soft hum at the feeling of me in her hands.
Pre smeared out along the top and onto her hand while my mouth held open in my own throws of bliss. She let go and I watched as she teased me more by sticking out the tip of her tongue and lapped at the greasy smudging on her hand. It felt almost painfully sexy to see her do that. "And here I thought she was the innocent one who'd never imagined of knowing sex like this. Man, oh man was I wrong. "
"Feel like moving on?" She asked.
I nodded lazily and went back to doing what Twilight had amazingly interrupted. Now breathing heavily myself, I managed my head into the opening and slid it all the way down inside it, the opening just reaching the base. I turned my attention back to her. She slipped her thumbs around the sides of her panties and slid them down to reveal her own special zone. I took a short moment to drink in the sight of her flower, clear of any and all hair. It astounded me how someone who had for all but the last few days, been completely covered in it and now was completely clear.
The lips were bulging and glistening with desire. A red hue covered them, same as my shaft. I felt my member throb again. It hurt so good to live this life.
I turned over and lifted myself up, pulling her under. I took my turn to tease her and from the bottom up, ran the tip of it along her slit. Both of us gave signs of ecstasy, her a long drawn out moan and I a breathy mumble. It took all my willpower to keep from simply plunging in and letting loose. I reached the top and rubbed my head in quick little circles around her nub. She bit her lip and stifled a cry in pleasure as her eyes rolled up. Her juices came out thicker and stuck to my tip.
"Let it out, let me know how you feel and what I should do. If you can." I said as I pulled back and aligned myself correctly.
I lowered myself down and let the head of my shaft delve in. She followed my order and gave a gasping moan.
"Ooooh wow!" She let out.
I'd only just breached the surface and she already was loosing her mind. I let down more and penetrated another inch into her tightness. A small flecking of blood dripped out onto the sheets with the already wet spot there. I slid back out a bit and she gave a sighing relief. I slipped back in and she gave a quick, heavy gasp. I slid back out and plunged back in, receiving the same sigh and the same gasp. I followed the pattern, going just a little deeper with every thrust of my hips.
I went in deeper and deeper still, the base coming close reaching the lips of her mound. Our hips came into a quick lock and held on for a few seconds. I moved in and our mouths rejoined into deep and erotic kisses as I started back up with the rut I'd had. She clenched tightly as I slid all the way out and rested the end just at the entrance.
"You want to feel something really amazing?" I asked.
She nodded and I adjusted back to the spot and delve straight in. She gave a sharp, gasping cry and held onto my shoulders. Her hips unconsciously thrust forward trying to envelope as much as possible, her tunnel constricting the life out of my length. I pulled back out and dived right back in, giving her as much as I could.
"Hold on, I'm changing up the settings." I said sliding my hand under her to her lower back.
My other hand ran low and I pulled her knees up over my waist. I shifted weight and turned over for her to be back up top. She slid down further than I could thrust and wailed out in absolute ecstasy at the amount I was willing to show her. I pushed her up somewhat to be sitting on my waist and continued with my bobbing motion as she rode out her mind on me. Every bounce sent a wave up her and shook her breasts slightly. Her hands pressed against my shoulder for support. I kept it up using every shaking jiggle as a metronome while I rested my hands on her cheeks, one directly on her mark and I gripped firmly. A large portion of wet, sweat filled hair hung over her face. Sweat glistened off her and she was all the more beautiful to me in this way than any other. She was perfect to me in every way.
"You still feeling that pressure?" I asked.
She nodded. "Uh-huh."
"How big is it?"
"Big." She answered.
"Your close. You ready for your world to shake?"
She nodded again at a loss for words. I sped up and she gave out more moans and gasps. I began to feel the pressure too and knew she was about to have the experience of her life. I kept on and gave harder and harder. I kept up the thrusts before she finally squeezed tight and sucked in air, her chest puffing out and her eyes fluttering again. She threw back her head, arching her back. Her climax finally came and let loose a small spurt of a diluted white, spraying out and dripping onto my stomach and groin. She moaned out and I rode myself off through it. I felt my thighs shake and my own pressure stack. With a tightening of my scrotum and a twitch of my rod inside, I shot off. I let loose a shot of thick and steamy seed, all being caught and withheld inside the protection so happily acquired.
She fell forward and rode through my go in her afterglow, resting her head on my shoulder. I finally pulled out and breathed a sigh of relief as I scooted her a little higher for her bare, sticky crotch to be on my stomach. I gave her what she desired and let loose some build up. Her eyes were lulled and she fell asleep. I slipped off the condom from my softening piece with a small trail of spunk to be wiped off with it and simply left it there, not caring.
I laid my head back and felt the same drowsiness after an orgasm. I grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around her, still atop me.
A final thought drifted into my mind before I slipped away. "If she liked that then maybe she'll like cleaning up. We could both use a shower after this, might as well go at the same time. "
~After an hour, a bag of crisps and a liter of cola, I give you guys this. First and foremost, did I surpass the chapter: Intimacy? Funnily enough, I had a box of tissues next to me, but not for that reason. It was a similarly associated reason and you'd get what it was if you knew your anime. Hint: It involves blood.
For the entirety of it I listened to this while writing
Man, if only ImJustAnotherBrony could see this. It's nothing like he can do but it's something I did and that makes it special to some degree.
What can I say? I'm weird.
*Yes, I cut this part out of comments. Like I said /\ /\ /*

Chapter 49: Twists and turns
All I could possibly think of as my mind drifted was the thought Twilight. Feeling her was the single greatest thing I've ever done. Out of all the things I'd done in my pretty shit twenty-four years, she's the only thing to actually make things better. Others just pushed it off for a bit or numbed the pain. But when she finally came about and really helped me, that all changed. I felt a sense of love for her that I'd never felt for anything before.
The last thing to float about through my blanking conscious was being with her. Not as in sex or some meager relationship, forever .
"Look, he's coming to." A distant and feminine voice said happily.
A few coughs and a pain filled voice of a man came through. "C'mon Monkey, don't let up. We've gone this far, might as well be sure to finish the job, eh?"
My eyes groggily opened to see everything in a grungy smear. I felt cold, colder than cold. I could swear I felt dead. When my vision focused I was greeted by the sight of a relieved Margaret and Marrow near me. Marrow had a few bandages wrapped around him and he smiled a toothy grin weakly.
"What's happening?" I asked.
"Think back, the woman, your fight."
The memories flooded and I remembered. S, the fighting, even what I said about Twi.
"How long have I been out?"
"Ten days time." Margaret answered. "Many were beginning to lose hope. You're our leader, what would they do without you?"
"Ten days, shit." I muttered. "What happened to-"
"The towns folk gave her a proper burial. She didn't deserve it but, it needed to be done."
"Alright." I looked down to see my shirt and jacket gone, replaced with bandages wrapped around my chest.
It gave off a stinging ache. There had been a sizable hole in it after all. Something else I had noticed was the markings. Before I saw they had been trimmed and cut along the edging from my arm. Only reaching from my shoulder to my wrist and stopping before they passed those points. Now they spread out further in an unkempt fashion. Reaching along my opisthenar and off my arm and along my shoulder. It spread out a bit across my pec, down my under arm and likely over the plate of my shoulder. Their red color and wisp like wavy ending gave them a similar appearance to fire.
"What's all this?" I asked confused and surprised by it.
"Ah, that." Marrow said stepping forward. "Before when I gave you this it was focused and weak. You've done something major, hit a point of surpassing weakness in a sense. That fight with the broad made you stronger. Give it a go, it's pretty rare for something like this to happen."
"Rare, what, there's been others?" I asked starting to feel irritated.
"Well of coarse. It's a gift of demons, and a bargaining chip that they can all throw in." He said in a tone like I should already know this shit.
"There has only ever been two others ever able to do this." Margaret stated. "From what I've heard, the marks adapt and reflect the recipient. Like it has you."
"Man, this is some bombshell. " I thought sourly. "So what the chuffing hell does that mean?! I'm special or something? Yeah I thought that about the time I landed a girlfriend like Twilight."
"Don't go and get your knickers in a twist." Marrow laughed. "C'mon now, give her a try. This is somethin' to be seen."
"Alright." I said focusing.
Nothing seemed to happen. I concentrated and felt a strained pang through my arm. I concentrated harder, giving all I could. The markings glowed brighter and started to move. Instead of hovering, they ebbed and flowed in spiking waves, moving together. A warmth was given off and I continued to focus. The marks trailed down into the palm of my hand formed together.
The hilt was different. Instead of a carbon like black, it was a bright alabaster. It was curved and along the gripping points was ridge like. The hand guard was a flat solid piece in the shape of the Japanese character 'tora', tiger, made of what looked like gold. Underneath the guard was three red rings. the bottom end was rounded and it all had a smooth plastic like finish to it.
I gripped it tightly, no guide bar extend out just a deep green blade. It came out thicker near the base and thinned out into a curved point, the length of it in slight curve. It still flickered and hummed like it did, but something felt different about it. I waved it around and could swear I felt something to it, like it really was a piece of me. The blade's flickering started becoming wisp like as it blazed on.
"Wow." Marrow said nodding. "This is, wow."
"Quite." Margaret agreed.
The blade cut off and the hilt faded. The fiery marks died and resumed being simple body art.
I looked down at the marks with a look of solace. I softly spoke. "Tsubaki" I christened it.
I stood from the spot I laid and made my way toward the door of the small room. I stopped before it and walked back to where my belt and bags had been tossed. I opened the largest pouch and removed the flag from it. It unfurled and wavered. I grabbed the far corners along the top and brought them over around my bare shoulders like a poncho or cloak.
I walked back out the door to see a small crowd inside the tavern, waiting. I stood on the second floor and looked out from a walkways railing.
I pulled the flag from my back and held it up. "Freedom."
I was met by cheering and clenched fists in the air. Marrow and Margaret came out to stand by my side.
"This isn't just about my own problems anymore. When I finish this, it's over. All this shit. "
I started this and knew I needed to finish it. I was tired of all this. I wanted my life to be lived in a real life, with the real love of my life. All I wanted was it to be over.

"Do we have enough? Has word spread?" I asked looking over the crowd.
"I think so." Margaret answered. "At least fifty people for every town.""Good."
I walked back to my room and gathered my things. Both my jacket and shirt were ruined, I left the shirt, but grabbed onto the jacket and carried it. I strapped the belt back to my waist and slipped on my shoes. I replaced the shades to my face and finally retrieved the white and red cloth. I tied it around my forehead and walked back out to the crowd.
I stood before them, the flag of our cause around my shoulders. "For too long have all of us went from time and time again to help each other, and it was all pointless. For too long have we lived in the shadows of our lives for what we've done. For too long has the grip of our sins and atrocities held us back. Today, now, That changes. Today we storm them and take back what is ours. Today we show we aren't weak. Today we end this!"
Everyone cheered and held fists and cried. They believed and knew many wouldn't come back, they still held strong. I looked down to the jacket, a hole through the chest. "Does anyone have a light?"
Someone passed up a book of matches. I took it and struck the match, lighting it. I held the fire to the jacket and it spread across it.
I walked down the stairs of the tavern and left through the door, the crowd marching behind me, tossing the jacket away to burn. A man hurried to me with a long piece of scrap wood and I accepted it. I tied the edge of the flag to the top and extended it upward. Everyone cheered and marched on. Twilight's flag flew forth. Marrow hopped up to my shoulder.
We all marched on, all the people from all the towns had gathered and followed. Even ones we hadn't reached but others had. An army had gathered and followed me. We made our way to the people filled city. The parties and marry making died down as they looked at us fearful. The fiery marks followed along my arm to my hand. The hilt was made and I held it skyward. The blade ignited and I yelled out for all to hear. "FREEEEDOM!"
I sprinted through the crowd, blade held high. The masses of people cheered out and rioted among the streets. Chaos. I ran in the direction of that giant fucker. I reached it and instead of opening the door or even kicking it, I slashed at it repeatedly and kicked it. Pieces flew through the air and scattered. The crowd inside looked on at me fearfully.
"Out." I said with fire in my voice.
Everyone poured out leaving the two of us.
I glared at him, my fist clenched to the hilt. I raised it to point at him. "Where is she" I snarled.
He let out a low chuckle. "You and all the others are pathetic. You know that, right?"
"So, the snake has a tongue. Who knew?"
"If you really want her." He grinned darkly.
With a wave of his hand a servant walked to his side, a silver tray in his hand with a lid. He stepped forward a bit and lifted the lid. My eyes widened in fury. A tear began to well in my eye at what I saw. On the tray lay Twilight's head, a loving gaze held on it.
"Now your feeling it, that's you life losing all meaning." He laughed.
I dropped to my knees, trembling in rage. A hand held to my face and my fingers pinched at the bridge of my nose.
"Your gonna fucking pay!"
"Draw your weapon. Thy sword and thy wrath will deliver you."
I got back up, gripping onto the sword with both hands. "I'm gonna unleash my anger, my hate, everything! I'm gonna take it all and fucking kill you with it!"
I sprinted for him. A trail of wetness traveling down my face.

I lashed out wildly. He fought back with his own sword, the one he nearly killed me with. They struck over and over, sparks flying, the sound of clashing metal and electric crackling echoed through the room. Every swung taken was blocked and countered from both ends. My breathing jumped in pace as I panted with anger. All I could think about was ending this bastard. The swords locked and we pressed at each other, neither of us budging. Our faces separated by a cross of blades. An amused sneer was plastered to his face.
His left hand left the grip of his sword and wound back. He swung low and delivered a crushing blow to my stomach. The hit pushed my back and ended our lock. My feet glided across the floor in a screech of rubber as I struggled to keep my composure after it. I dove back in with blade jutted forward. I charged and jabbed at him with the blade. He continued to side step and weave through my attacks. Growing tired he recoiled and jumped over me in a flip, landing behind me, bringing down his blade.
I spun about to catch it horizontally. The blades locked again in green fire and steel. He wound back his arm again. Not falling for it twice, I side stepped and slipped around to narrowly miss his large fist. I grabbed onto his arm and pulled with all my might for him to be plunged forward in a stumbling gate. I swung and managed a deep cut into his back, but was just out of range to gain a killing blow. He wound about in a kick that stuck my jaw and threw me to the side uneasily. The sword shattered in a rain of markings as I stumbled about stunned.
His arm grasped around my neck and flung me to slam against the far wall. I slid down painfully to the floor and tried to stand up only for his hand to wrap around my neck one more. The other, still holding the sword swung back to deliver the finishing slash.
A flash of silver zipped in between us and his hand split from his arm. A dripping of black came from his cleanly cut stump and his hand dropped to floor. The marks returned to my palm and resumed the hilt. The blade reignited and I swung out to him. He still had one hand left and blocked with his sword. My blade struck off his and I rolled out of the way of his downward swing.
I looked to where the blur had traveled to see a familiar face. He was clad in Japanese biker gang attire and a large white high-collared jacket, open at the chest. Along the back was the image of a dragon and around his shoulders was a tatsuki rope. I'm glad he taught me all this shit while he was alive or I'd have no idea what any of it was. Two scars crossed over his mouth. A kamikaze headband was tied to his forehead and he had hair similar to mine. An actual katana held in his hand.
"Looks like I came just in time." Huang laughed.
"I'll say." I ducked out of the way of another swing. "Man, do you know what kind of shit dropping stuff like this does to the readers?"
"Who cares, this stories awesome in it's own way and that's that." He said sprinting to us.
"I care, this thing doesn't get the most positive ratings."
"Quit bitching already, sheesh." He said slashing out at our antagonist.
"Fine we'll kill the asshole then talk about it later. I need to make him pay for putting me through this shit."
Huang looked back to see the tray with Twilight's head set down on the floor. "Don't be so gullible you dumb-ass. She's not dead."
"What?!" The giant motherfucker swung at me while I was distracted.
I just managed to catch it and deflect the blow. The fighting continued as the two of us worked our ways around him.
"Do you forget everything you learn. This place fucks with your head."
"Well, aren't I some chump." I chuckled.
"I'll say." He say swinging his katana and clashing with the giant cock's sword.
I swung about with Huang at him. He still held his ground with only one hand.
"Let's tag team this bitch." I called out.
"It's been a while, think you can still do the moves?"
"No problem."
We nodded with wide grins and Huang lunged forward. He swung hard and out with enough force to knock the big dumb-ass's sword out of the way. He jumped up onto him and swung about onto his back. He held on in a head lock and I ran off. I sprinted forward to them and Huang jumped off just to avoid me. I neared and jumped into the air bringing both my feet forward to pound into his chest in a flying dropkick. He flew back and hit the ground in a few skips.
Huang ran to him and picked him up. He stumbled about and Huang grabbed him by the arm and weaved them around his. With his hands behind the giant fuck's head he leaned back and lifted him up. His back arched up and he swung back slamming the cocksucker head first into the ground with his hips thrust forward in a dragon suplex. He rolled out and came back to me in a fist bump.
"Now that's how it's done." Huang said with a wild smile.
"Thanks bro."
The creepy fucker staggered back to his feet and leered at us. He was now battered and beaten to the point of black blood dripping along his face. I sprinted toward him, sword in hand and jumped into the air. I swung horizontally and delivered the final blow. "Fuck head!" The blade sliced through his neck and his his head skyrocketed up with a trail of black. I tumbled and spun before finally dropping down and landing in place on his neck. I kicked at the body and the head shot back into the air as the body dropped to the ground. I swung skyward and the head split mid-air in two.
The hilt broke down and the marks returned to my arm.
"If she's still alive then she's in here somewhere."
Huang nodded and we searched around the building. I looked along a wall to see if there was a trick to it but found nothing to it. I pounded on it and a hollow thumping echoed. It was hollow. I stepped back and the marks came to my hand to form the pistol, now in shape similar to a large revolver. I aimed and shot off at the wall. It burst and the rubble crumpled onto the floor. I peered into the room as Huang hurried to my side. Inside the room was an enormous stone pedestal. On top lay Twilight, naked of course. This is my dream after all.
I walked over to it and placed my hand on her face. Her eyes opened and shined their violet. Our eyes made contact and both became wet at the site of each other. I hugged onto her and she hugged back.
"Let's go home."
My own actual eyes opened. Twilight was still asleep with her head resting between mine and my shoulder. It was still sticky between us and I felt a wet warmth on my stomach trickle. Out of the corner of my eye I could see she had a content look on her flushed face. A dribble of saliva came down from the corner of her mouth.
"She must be having some dream too." I laughed to myself.
I lied there with her still on top of me enjoying the moment for as long as I could. Her arms were around my neck and mine were wrapped around her.
"God I love you." I mumbled aloud.
She stirred a little and rubbed her face affectionately into my shoulder. Ruffled hair still hung over it.

Chapter 52: Going about the day
I breathed a gleeful sigh and closed my eyes, enjoying the feeling of Twi going about her dream. Her moist crotch slid about in place on my stomach while her legs were spread to either side of my waist. It was almost laughably cute how she enjoyed her first time so much, she was probably dreaming about it. Her hips started to grind into my stomach sharply and she gave out breathy coos in her sleep.
"She's really enjoying herself. "
She startled to mumble something inaudible and make small sounds.
"MMMmmmhmmm"
"Easy there ponygirl." I said softly, rubbing my hand along her back.
I slid her off and set her down gently beside me, easing her down to the pillow. I unwrapped her arms and laid the down by her chest. I wrapped her in the blanket, giving her a quick hug and slid out of bed. I walked out the room still unclothed and dirty, with Twilight all over my midriff. I looked back at her and smiled. Her ass looked so cute.
I made my way down the hall into the kitchen and filled up the kettle and set in on a burner. I turned the nob up to medium and left it to boil. I walked out the kitchen and to the still on computer and sat down on the stool. I turned on some music and turned down the volume on the speaker to keep from waking Twi. I got up and crouched down to the wood floor in the middle of the living room. I lied down on my back and pulled up my knees. My hands held on to the back of my head and my arms jutted straight out. I leaned up and forward until my elbows touched my knees. I laid back down and leaned forward again, touching my elbows to my knees.
The reps went on as I did my situps and my abdomen began to feel the usual burn as they tightened. I finished at thirty and flipped over onto my front. I pressed fists to the floor on either side of me and pushed up with my arms. My legs stiffened and propped me up as I did my pushups.
I finished up my quick work our and the kettle gave out a sharp hissing whistle and I ran to it turning it off and moving it to the opposite burner. Twilight walked into the kitchen yawning, also naked and apparently shed her socks. A thin wetness was around her waist and she seemed as relaxed and happy as ever. Her hair was unkempt and some hung over her face. She came close and I brushed it out of her face with my hand.
She held onto me and we shared a tongue filled kiss for a short while and stood latched onto each other. The taste was now a little salty, but still delicious. We both gave off a sweet and musky odor that easily gave away the mornings events.
"Think we should clean up our mess?" She asked.
"Later." I said guiding her to the couch.
We sat down close together and she leaned onto me. I dug into the cushion and pulled out the remote. I turned on the tv and flipped to on-demand. I scrolled down until I had the Hub section and played one of the random episodes of Friendship is Magic. Hearts and Hooves day. I almost laughed at how funny it was that was there.
We watched as Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetiebell try to push Cheerilee and Bigmac together. We shaed in laughter at all the problems and cartoon goofs.
The credits rolled as Mac and Cheer walked off leaving the crusaders panicked. I luaghed and turned it off.
"Hey"
I turned to Twilight smiling.
She hugged onto me and buried her face in my shoulder. "I love you."
"I love you too." I said hugging back. She looked up to me with a warm smile and bright eyes. "Now how about that cleaning up?"

Chapter 53: Cleaning up (Cloppy, sort of.)
She looked off with a small blush. "We did make quite a mess. But it was worth it." She smiled bringing her head down to my shoulder again.
"So, would it be worth another go some other time?" I asked.
I felt her face rub along my shoulder in a nod. "Mmhmm."
"Great, I think we might be able to find a book for some different things if you wanna, experiment."
Her eyes shot open and still held a bright, warm smile. She looked up and held on even tighter.
"I'll take that as a yes." I chuckled.
I stood from the couch and walked through the kitchen and down the hall with Twilight following me.
"Bathe together or separate?" I asked.
Her eyes seemed to spark with imagination as she thought about it. She gave another disembodied 'squee' and held on tighter.
"So I guess that's together."
She nodded enthusiastically.
"Okay, You go get it started while I clean up the room."
"Alright." She said walking into the bathroom.
"And the hot water is on the right." I called to her as I walked into the room.
"Got it."
I stripped the bed and gathered up the dirty clothes, gathering it into a small pile and carried it down stairs to the basement. Stopping halfway to throw out the used wrapper. I walked into the laundry room and placed the pile into the washing machine and added some of the heavier duty detergent, turned it on high and walked back up the stairs.
I went into the bathroom where Twilight was sitting on the edge of the tub as it filled and ran her hand in the warm water. It could only have of made her seem more goddess like if it was a lake instead. She gave a happy and loving smile that felt just so innocent. I started to feel guilty again by changing that up majorly. I felt the need to do something that I probably should of a while ago.
"Hey Twi, Would you mind if I went to the bathroom real quick."
"We're both already here." She giggled, obviously knowing what I meant.
I rolled my eyes and stepped up to the toilet, planting my feet about two feet from each other. I let loose a quick stream and listened as the water sploshed down into the bowl. Twilight looked on at it with a noticeable interest. I finished and moved over to the tub.
She lifted her thin leg over the edge and slipped in. I managed another glimpse of her cute rear and watched her lounge comfortably in the tub, soaking. She slipped into the water and let out a relaxed sigh as her muscles were worked by the warmth. She seemed so peaceful and enjoying the moment I almost didn't want to do anything, almost.
I sat down on the edge near her and dipped my hand into the warmth. I felt around and managed to run my hand over her thigh. She gave a quick breath and sat up for her wet hair to stick down to her back and the water to run down and drip off her breasts. She moved in a bit to make room and I eased down into it. She lifted up a bit and sat down, her soft and firm rump resting in my lap. I lounged and she leaned back to me. Before she could lean down and lounge with me, my hands came up to rest on her shoulders. I worked the palms of my hands into her back and she gave out the few coos of relaxed pleasure.
She's given me the best day of my life already, I wouldn't stop until I paid it off in interest. I rubbed with waving amounts of pressure. I changed things up and started to rub up and down along her back, going as low as I could and as high as the base of her neck. Her head turned and tilted back to me and we had another kiss, filled with a very comfortable amount of tongue. The spittle being wiped along my tongue tasted all the better the more I had. The head bobbing started up and my hands reached around to the front. I started massaging her along the front of her shoulders and went lower and lower to be copping a feel along her breasts.
My wet fingers worked magic on her triple a's as she moaned out into my mouth her eyes fluttering again. I gave a few groans as I could feel the inches extend. Twilight pushed up from her sitting position and turned around to retake her seat, her legs spread onto either side of me. Her hands held onto the back of my head and, of coarse, mine on her taut cheeks. I gripped and squeezed tightly as she ground her hips into me. The shaking bob of her movement easily shown with the shake of her breasts.
They pressed against me tightly and the hardening nipples held as much sensitivity as her shoulders. I quickly contemplated the idea of another stick in but decided it would be too risky. And believe me, it was hard to resist.
But I did decide it was okay to help out in some other way. She ground her crotch along my stomach in a fleeting moment of bliss before I took things up a notch.

Chapter 54: Magic trick (WARNING: explicit)
I raised up both hands and made one a fist whilst I wrapped the other around it. Applying a gripping pressure, eight popping clicks sounded off. I did the same to the other and watched as Twilight tensed in anticipation from the sounds and what I was going to do. My hand flew low, sliding between us, down my stomach and between her thighs. My index finger teased along her moistened slit, warm and swelled with desire. I started slow, moving along the the whole of the lips. Giving the same gentle-to-deep massage I had to most of her. She gasped and moaned out with eyes wide in pleasure. Her libido burned on.
My fingers moved in outward circles, coming close to the slit but always stopping and going back. Every time I came close to her opening she breathed in deeply, wanting more. I moved faster, rubbing along it with higher pace. Her face buried into mine with a gasp and muffled cries. Her tongue enjoyed it's mingling with mine, soaking in its flavors.
Her nails dug into my shoulders as I moved along with my fingers. They rubbed along the edge of her slit in quick touches going high. The tip of my finger brushing against her sweet spot in a tease. Her moaning eased as I went lower, my finger taking drifts into her gap. The tip of my finger ventured on, taking a quick peek and poked in. She pulled back her head in a throw of ecstasy. Her eyes forced shut and she bit down on her lip.
"Ooooohh."
My finger ran quick circles inside her tight opening. She squeezed around it and another inch was sucked in. I used it to my advantage and went with it before pulling back. My finger would be pulled in and I would slide out giving quick goes of her insides. My thumb made quick flicking brushes to her nub and she breathed heavily with quick gasps. My finger sped up in its movements working in circling patterns. I honestly couldn't tell if she was wet or if she was just wet.
I bent my finer and work my way around in her tight little hole, she'd throw her head back and moan out before I'd use my freehand to pull her face back to mine. My finger went deeper still until my knuckle lie just outside her opening. I bent and moved it around inside her nether while my tongue bent and moved around inside her mouth. I could feel her shake against me in absolute giddy embrace of what I was doing.
My finger made its way out while Twi gave out an almost disappointed sounding sigh. Oh was she going to take it back. My middle finger decided to join my index and moved in synch. They mirrored each other as I moved them up and down her slit with varying degrees of depth. They delved into her velvety folds and squeezed into her hole. My thumb, still not to keen on being left out, kept on giving her teasing brushes along her little pink nub. Twilight must of found it hard to control herself at the moment since all she did was whimper while biting down on her lip. I made it my new primary goal to make scream out in ecstasy.
My fingers separated and moved around each other, Her flushed face showed she was close to breaking down. The movements shifted and resumed working there way in and out, all the while moving around each other. My thumb gave much more lingering stokes to her clit and she went mad.
"Oooh yes, yes yes yes yes yes."
I pulled her back in and muffled her words in another deep kiss. My fingers worked there magic as she moaned out into my mouth. My wrist rotated and gave leverage as my fingers moved around. Both fingers grew tired but I still pressed on. Both fingers slid out and flexed to get the blood back. My index finger and ring finger touched together and my middle finger set down on top. I pressed them along the inside of her folds and slid into her hole. Her nails digging even deeper into the skin of my shoulders. Her whimpering of pleasure vibrated along in my mouth.
My fingers moved around on there own inside her slick opening, my thumb forgetting about taking short brushes simply brushed along and around her nub. Her head pulled back and she finally screamed out. I abandoned the work with my fingers and pulled out for them to join my thumb in caressing her pink bud. I rubbed fast and pressed down feeling warm friction. Her head still hung out and her back arched.
She deeply inhaled, her chest puffed out. Her eyes fluttered as she moaned and gasped and a dribble of saliva ran out the corner of her mouth. A short spray of thin diluted white stuck to my hand and was partially washed off in the water. She slumped down onto my with her face into my shoulder, latching onto me. She moved her hand up to the side of my head and pulled me in closer.
"I love you." She whispered into my ear happily.
"I love you too." I whispered back, nuzzling my face against hers affectionately.
We sat there in solace for a time just talking together in a low whisper. We shared small laughs and waited as the tub drained. It finally did and she held onto me for warmth, my hands wrapped around hers. The heat transferred through our slick bodies and I stroked my hand through her damp navy hair. I helped her up and stood with her in the cold air and switched the water over to the over head shower. I held my hand over it while I adjusted the water to a comfortable warmth and stood under the shower of warm water with her. She stood in front of me with my arms draped over her and down her front.
With soap bar in hand I lathered and scrubbed along her. She in turn ran her fingers through my rinsing hair, lathering it with shampoo. I held my head under the torrent of water and rinsed the suds off and down me and pulled back for her to rinse. We switched jobs and she ran her soap filled hands along my barely defined abdominal muscles. Mine now with shampoo scrubbed and worked deep down in her soft hair. Another rinse and we stood under the pouring water holding on tightly.
My face moved close to hers and we kissed in relaxed bliss. Thought of a bright future went through my mind. Thought of the lock box in my room with twenty-grand stowed away, all earned through odd jobs and various 'activities'. Thoughts of making a real living and renovating the house, making a study and small library for Twilight, adding a fireplace to the family room, maybe a bigger bedroom or another room entirely. Start a family and live a real life with her.
The word stuck in my head and left me feeling a bit empty: family.
"Family...Family, maybe I should fix things with my own first. I could never be that kind of person with out even knowing what a real family was. If I'm going to be the man I want to for Twi then I guess I'll have to do my best, I'll have to do things myself and fix my own mistakes. I'll try to convince her to help, she'd love to, I'd know it. But I won't be able to tell her why. If I did, she might get the wrong idea and be upset. "
I split from her and turned the water off. We stepped out and I, in my hurry, forgot to grab a towel again. We were past that and it didn't really matter anymore, we had sex already and just took the shower together. I walked out and grabbed a towel from the closet, wrapping it around Twi and drying her off. I offered and she tried doing the same for me almost laughably, I still thanked her and gave a quick kiss. We stood in front of the bathroom sink as I dug through the cabinet for the back up toothbrush I kept and opened it for her. I gave a quick show of the whole thing and squeezed some toothpaste onto mine and hers. A quick brush, floss, and mouth-washing later, we walked out the bathroom hand in hand.
She sat down on the couch in the family room as I added the tea to the boiling hot water and handed her a cup of it. I ran back down the stairs, into the laundry room and tossed the wet pile into the drier. I ran back up the stairs and sat contently with her on the couch watching tv. After some time we went back to the bedroom and dressed.
"Hey Twi." I said slipping on a pair of boxers.
"Yes?" She replied slipping on a pair of underwear we grabbed yesterday.
"I was wondering. Would you mind, maybe...helping me out with my family? I want to set some things right and I'd appreciate it if you could be there with me."
"Of coarse. Could you help me?" She asked struggling with the bra.
I hooked it back and adjusted the strap. She hugged onto me.
"What makes you think I wouldn't want to help you?"
"Nothing, just wanted to know." I answered sheepishly.
I dressed in my usual jeans and t-shirt, while Twi tried out her new skirt and sweater. We grabbed our shoes by the door and left. Hopping onto my bike with a new goal in mind.

Chapter 55: Family reunion
She held on tightly as I road down a street with dozens of large and reminding houses. I parked in front of one I could I just faintly remember, but I knew it was it. I kicked out the stand and lifted off my bike, starting for the door with Twilight beside me. I felt a pit in my stomach deepen with every step taken up the concrete path. I stood in front of the door simply staring at it, my eyes giving away my feelings. Twilight wrapped her hand around mine reassuringly. I looked to her nervously and received a bright smile. My stomach eased and with greater confidence knocked on the door.
It took a minute before anything happened but I could hear foot steps come closer. An older woman opened the door. Her shoulder length hair and brown eyes felt so familiar. Her soft expression felt all the more motherly.
"Hello, can I help you?"
I couldn't help myself, I stepped up to her and hugged onto her tightly. My eyes felt strained and wet as I hugged her. I breathed heavily and tried to focus back on why I was there.
"Kian, call the neighborhood watch." She called back into the house.
A teenage boy with short brown hair and blue eyes ran up to the door and stood confused at the sight of me hugging her. The sight of him dampened my eyes more.
I let go of her and came to Kian with hug. "Oh my god, Kian."
His face seemed uncomfortable and I realized they both still didn't know who I was. I let go and took a step back to Twilight. I turned to them awkwardly.
"I-I'm sorry for that, that was rude." I looked to the woman. "If this is tough to believe I can understand. I'm your son."
"Oh come on." Kian said finding this ridiculous. "I'm seventeen and you don't even look much older than me, how could you be her son too?"
I still looked at the woman. "My name is James Donald Mink. Twenty-four years ago I was born. Sixteen years ago you and my father separated and he raised me on his own."
She looked at me with her own wet eye's. She hugged onto me tightly. "Oh my god, Donny. My little Donny. I can't believe this!"
Kian just stood there flabbergasted. "What?!"
"Kian, this is your older brother, James. When you were one and your father and I split. He took James and left me with you."
I let go and shared a glance with him.
He looked me over shaking his head. "There's no way. Not a chance in hell right now. There's just no way."
"Your name is Kian Charles Mink, you were born on March twenty-second. When you were little your eyes were pale-blue."
He stared at me shocked. "You're kidding. Somebody's punking us right?" He asked looking at our mother.
She shook her head.
He walked off from the door and sat down on a couch holding his head in his hands. "Whoa, this is heavy. I have a brother. Oh man."
My mother looked past me at Twilight standing in the door way waiting. "And who's this?"
I walked over to Twi and held an arm around her and took a deep breath. "Mom, this is Twilight."
They shared a smile and my mother looked up to me. "Come in, I can't believe this is happening."
I led Twilight in and closed the door behind us. My mother walked off to the kitchen and me and Twi sat down on the couch by Kian.
He was still having a hard time taking this in. He looked up to me. "You're really my brother?"
I nodded with a faint smile.
He leaned back. "Oh man. This, this is just-"
"Weird?" I said finishing his sentence.
"Yeah." He nodded. "Weird."
I wrapped an arm around his shoulder. "So just how much have I missed?"

Chapter 56: Gaining a friend
"Not much. I doubt anything that was really different for you."
I wore a knowing smile. "If you knew." I said my shaking my head.
My mother came back into the living room with two mugs of coffee and offered them to me Twilight. I turned it down and lowered Twilight's out reaching hand.
"I don't think you'd want to try coffee." I said warmly.
She looked at it and the strong scent washed over us. "It doesn't smell that bad, but if you say so."
My mother set the cups down and sat in a chair near the couch. She smiled contently at me and Kian.
"I still can't believe you're home with us. It's been so long, I wish you came sooner."
The pit in my stomach reformed and I looked down quietly at the floor. Twilight wrapped her hand back around mine. I wiped the forming wetness from my eyes and smiled at her.
My mother saw that she seemed to strike a nerve and left the subject. "So how have you been doing."
I held the smile and looked to her. "I've been just fine."
"That's lovely dear." My mother smiled. "Kian, why don't you try to get to know your brother?"
"Just give me a minute mom. This is, just a little hard to get down."
I patted his back.
Twilight leaned in close. "Why did she call you Donny?" she whispered.
"Nickname." I whispered back.
"Oh."
"So just how are you and Twilight friends?" My mother asked.
I looked over to Twilight brightly and shared a smile. "We're a little more than friends."
My mother simply held a warm and knowing expression.
I looked back to Kian, who was leaning back in his spot on the couch rubbing his temples.
"I have an older brother. Jeez, he's even got a girlfriend that's pretty hot." He said quietly.
I still managed to hear it and spoke just as quietly, close to him. "Eeyup."
His eyes widened at that and slowly looked over his shoulder nervously. I held a smile and looked down at him. He smiled sheepishly and tried to look off. "So you heard that."
I nodded and moved back to my spot beside Twilight.
"So how have things been for you?" I asked my mother.
"Okay, Kian's doing fine in school and I've been making plenty to keep us comfortable."
"That's nice." I said cheerfully. "What do you do?"
"I work as an accountant."
"Oh...neat."
Kian got up from the couch "I'm going to just hang out in my room." He said walking down the hall.
"James, why don't you go 'hang out' with your brother. I'd like to talk to Twilight for a little while if that's alright."
"Uh, sure." I said giving her a quick hug and following Kian into his room.
I walked through the door way to see him lying in his bed with his hands over his face.
I sat down on the bed beside him. "Wassup?"
"Nothing. I just...don't know where to start." He uncovered his face. "Would it be okay to ask you a few questions?"
"Sure, go ahead."
"Just what's our dad like? I've asked mom before, but she just ignored my question."
"Our dad, well...He's kind of an asshole."
"How so?" Kian asked sitting up.
"He took me when our parents split and raised me to be tough and 'act like a man'. You want to know what he did to teach me to be tough?" I asked.
Kian nodded.
"He had me gut a live deer in front of him. A live deer. Yeah, our dad was a bit of a cynical fuck."
"Jeez." Kian said with a disgusted look.
"The man bragged about killing a Grizzly bear with his own hands."
Kian laid back down and stared at the ceiling. "Well damn, that killed my next question."
"And what would that have been?"
"Would you have wished you got to stay with mom?"
I looked at him, zoning out at the thought. After a minute I shook my head. "No."
"Why?"
"Because Kian," I said getting up and moving to lean against the wall. "I'd probably never have met Twilight."
A faint smile spread across his face. "You really like her that much, huh?"
I nodded. "Yeah, yeah I do."
"Well you're lucky." He said lying back down. "I can't even talk to a girl."
I held my smile and raised a brow.
"I don't really think there's much hope for me. I panic when I say anything and just space out or slink away. I sound pretty pathetic right now don't I?" He asked looking up to me.
"Give it time, you never know just when and how you might meet someone."
"Easy for you to say, you're already set." He groaned.
"Just what would you say if I told you I've known her for the last few days?"
"I'd ask if you were takin' the piss?"
"Nope."
"Well, I guess some chance happened and you struck out."
I looked down to him. "Just what do you do anyway? For fun and stuff."
"Nothing really." He answered. "I just go through class and do some after school work at the humane society. Other than that, nothing."
"Maybe you could find a girl like you, animals and junk."

Chapter 57: Being a brother
"I don't know." Kian said flipping on his side.
"Alright, I'm gonna do this as a favor. We'll hang out and I'll help you out. Cool?"
"Uh, sure I guess." He said uncertainly.
"Want some tips?" I asked.
"Why not." He said sitting up.
"Alright... First, try to be confi-"
"Wait," Kian interrupted, getting up and looking through a drawer. He pulled out a notebook and and pen and sat back down. "I want to write this down. Go."
"Alright. First off, try to seem confidant, but not overly confident. You know?"
"Wait, what?" Kian asked confused.
"Like, you get nervous when you talk to girls. Try to seem confidant, like you're not about piss yourself. But don't be all cocky and overly confidant. Get it?"
"Uh, yeah." He said scribbling away.
"Ready for the next?" I asked crossing my arms.
"Yeah."
"Alright, try to be and act like yourself, but be willing to do something she'd like too."
"She'd like too." Kian repeated scribbling away. "Next."
"Okay, find a common ground and try doing something around that."
"Got it. Anything else?" He asked.
"No, that should just about do it."
"Okay then." He said setting the notebook down. "So when do you wanna go out and help me?"
"In do time little bro." I said patting his shoulder. "Maybe tomorrow or Friday."
"Alright...uh bro ." Kian still seemed a little uncertain about this.
"Great." I said walking out his room.
I walked down the hall and into the living room where my mother and Twilight were talking to each other.
"He's really sweet. I really am liking spending time with him." I caught from Twilight.
"Oh that's lovely." My mother added.
"Hey Twi." I said making notice of myself. "Mom." I nodded.
"So how's your brother taking this?" She asked.
"Okay I guess. Maybe tomorrow we're going to go do some things. Brother stuff."
"That's sounds wonderful." My mother said happily.
"You about ready to go?" I asked looking to Twilight.
"Um sure." She said standing up.
My mother stood up and gave me a hug. "I've missed you Donny, I'm so glad to see you again. You're my son and I love you."
"I love you too mom." I said hugging back. "I'll see you some time later."
She smiled and Twilight held onto my arm. I smiled to her and we walked to the door. I stopped and looked back to my mom.
"Wait um, do you having something I could write on?" I asked.
My mother grabbed a piece of scrap paper off the coffee table and handed me a pen from her pocket.
I wrote down my e-mail address. "I don't have a phone so I'll try to keep in touch."
"Alright." My mother smiled. "I be reading from you soon then."
"Alright. Goodbye." I said waving out the door with Twilight.
"Goodbye." Twilight said to her.
"Goodbye Donny." My mother called back from the door. "You too Twilight."
"Donny , I really like that." Twilight said holding onto my arm.
"It's okay." I said nearing my bike. I sat down on it. "It's something she calls me."
"Whatever you say Donny." She said taking a seat on it.
I rolled my eyes and kicked stand up. "So hows about we do a little reading? I think I might be able to find that book."
She held on tighter than usual and out of the corner of my eye could see her smile.
She whispered up into my ear. "I love you Donny ." She gave a small giggle
I revved the handle. "I love you too Twilie."
She rested her head down on my back and I left my old home, going back to my own with who I loved most.
I parked in the driveway and kicked the stand out. I lifted off the bike with Twilight and she followed back inside. She took a seat on the couch as I closed the door and walked off to my room. I came back with my pillow, a blanket, and a small black paperback book. I placed the pillow near the arm and sat down beside Twilight. She got up and I lifted my feet up onto the open space. She sat back down on my lap and lied down with me. Her head making use of my chest as a pillow.
I held up the book and she looked at it. "No title?" She asked looking it over.
"It doesn't need one." I said wrapping the blanket over us.
I cracked open the book and skimmed over a few of the pages, mainly focusing on names and pictures.
"I kind of like that one." Twilight said pointing at a picture. "It looks fun."
"Alright then." I said bending the page's corner. "We can try it sometime.
"How about that one?" She said holding her finger up to another picture. "I really like the look of that one."
"This is a pretty long book, you wanna just use it as a checklist instead?"
"Alright." Twilight said flipping over to face me. "I still want to try that last one."
I couldn't help but smile at her.
"I really liked that the last time." She said rubbing her hand along my chest. "We could make that feeling mutual." She offered.
"I'd like that." I grinned.
We leaned together and our lips pressed and moved with each others. Her mouth opened further and her tongue slipped out and moved up along the edge of my teeth. I opened my mouth more and moved my tongue to play with hers. They slid past and along each other, taking in the flavors and the warm wetness. We slid out of each others mouths and she lied her back down to my chest, holding on comfortably. I laid my head back and rested my hands on her back.
"I really like this." I stated.
"Me too." she said contently.

I lied there holding Twilight, idly talking with her. We chatted away about our feeling over things and what we could do if we wanted. The movies, library, maybe just go for a walk or to the park. There was nothing really stopping us. We both had all the time in the world and nothing to properly do. An Idea popped into my head.
"Hey Twi."
"Yeah." She answered back.
"How about we write a friendship letter?" I offered.
She lifted up a bit and looked at me with a curious smile. "I think I've learned a few things about friendship. Since Spike isn't here then I guess you could do well for a scribe." She said sitting.
I moved out from under her and walked into the kitchen. I grabbed a notepad off the counter and dug through a drawer for an old pencil. I sat back down on the couch with Twilight and held the pencil readily to the paper. She leaned against me and looked off thinking.
"Dear Princess Celestia,
I have spent the last five days on a world known as Earth, which has a rather surprising amount of knowledge of Equestria. I have spent said time with a Human, as they are called, known by the name James. During my time I have learned much of their views of friendship and loyalty to each other. James has demonstrated his continuing loyalty to a friend long past and shows how deep a bond friendship can truly be. Firsthand I have learned from James how strong a friendship can grow and blossom into something much more. Though at first there was much crudeness and dislike for each other a special bond was made. I now report to you knowing the stronger counterpart to friendship and it's strengths and joys, I now know what it is to feel love for somepony on a higher level.
~Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle."
I quickly scribbled down a side note to it with a cheeky grin.
P.S. I now also know what it feels like to have a mind blowing orgasm with a sexual partner.
I couldn't help but hold a childish smile at that. Twilight leaned on my shoulder and looked over my fairly rough hand writing with a stern look, but was shot down with the playful smirk she held on her face. I crossed out the side note and set the notepad down.
"Sounds like you've been having some learning experience." I joked.
"I really have." She smiled.
I lounged into a comfortable position with Twilight and decided to watch some good old tv. I reached into the couch for the remote and flicked it on. I channel surfed until I landed on Animal Planet and we watched as one of my favorite shows played, Lost Tapes. I figured she'd like it from all the weird info and how it's done like a documentary.
We sat there with Twi clung to my side.The screen was an artificial black and the usual white text displayed information.
The creature known as Bigfoot is alleged to make a distinctive noise.
A low whine played as the text faded to another small amount of text.
It is variously described as a bloodcurdling scream, a howl-
The text faded to another set of text.
and notably, as a mournful wail.
Small sketches of a large hairy creature are shown.
"Its a fair presumption that this was an erect bipedal animal. Standing perhaps eight-feet tall, weighing about eight-hundred pounds and presumably being covered with hair and this is the exact description of the living Sasquatch."
A knocking came at the door and I let Twilight move over before I got up and walked over to it. I answered the door to see Justin standing there with a serious look.
"Oh hey man," I said looking at him. "Thanks for uh, fixing my b-"
"Alright listen man, I need to talk to you about something." He cut me off.
"Okay, what?"
"In private ." He said stressing it.
"Alright alright." I looked back to Twilight who was watching the tv with fascination. "I'll be back in a minute."
She nodded and I walked out to the side of the house with him.
He pulled me close and spoke softly. "Okay so listen, I've been doing some looking around digging up info. I think I may just know who shot us up a few days ago. Jeremy's getting out of the hospital in a few days and I already talked to him about it. I know how you took it seriously, we're going to go teach those punk ass kids not to fuck with us, do you want in?"

I stood there thinking it over. My mind felt like a wasteland of if . I needed to weigh out the the outcomes. If I do, I show I'm not to be messed with and maybe people will leave me alone. But if I don't, they could always come back. If I do, then I might get lucky and scrape up something from it. If I do, then I might die, and I'll never get to see Twilight again. I walked over to the house and leaned against the wall thinking.
A part of me felt it all the necessary and wanted a sense of vengeance to be fulfilled. It wanted them to pay with their own blood and suffering. But another part of me I just came across tried to push it away. The part that wanted to leave all those things behind and not do something stupid, not ruin what I already had going. I didn't know what to do. Trust what I've always trusted and do what I feel is necessary, or trust what feels right and do something that hopefully wouldn't damage the life I've salvaged and began to enjoy.
I didn't know what to do. A moment to prove myself stood before me. I couldn't help but have the feeling that if it wasn't for Twi I wouldn't even be thinking about this. I looked up to the low hanging sun and felt a piece of remorse move in. I stared unblinking at the orange glow and swallowed a forming lump in my throat. I couldn't decide.
I looked back to Justin. "I...I-I don't...know. I can't decide man."
"I need to know." He pressed on.
"I just...I don't...I...I need some time alright. I need to give this some time."
"Fine." Justin said starting to walk away.
I hurried to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Listen, I don't want either of you to do anything stupid or risky."
"Whatever." He said walking away.
I watched him walk across the street and into his house before I went back into mine. I closed and locked the door behind me and sat back down on the couch with Twi. She nuzzled back against me and looked up curiously.
"What did he want to talk to you about?" She asked.
"Uh nothing. Just about Jeremy in the hospital and stuff." I lied.
"Alright." She said looking back at the tv.
I stared at it blankly, ignoring the show. My mind still went on about it. I really didn't know what to think or do, I felt lost. Almost an hour had passed and it had grown dark outside. I finally snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of Twilight yawning and leaning against me harder. I grabbed the blanket off her and tossed it over my shoulder. I handed her the pillow and wrapped my arms around her tightly and stood from the couch. I slipped out one hand and turned off the tv.
I carried her to the bedroom and set her down on the bed. I went through the house, locking every door and window. I finally got back to the room and closed my bedroom door. The one door I would always leave open. I lied down on the bed with Twi. She held onto me tightly like a security blanket. I moved the pillow back into place and laid my head down on it. Her head rested on my shoulder.
"Somethings wrong, isn't it?" She asked as I pulled the covers over us.
"No. What makes you say that?" I asked looking down to her.
"You look unnerved."
I held an arm around her protectively. "It nothing Twilie."
"I worry about you." She said looking up to me.
"Please don't. It's nothing I want you to be involved with and I don't want to talk about it."
"Okay." She said looking down.
"Twi."
"Yeah." She answered looking back up.
"I want you to know that I love you. I will now and always love you. And if I die that I will die loving you."
She held tighter than ever and I could feel a wetness dampen my shoulder.
"Please don't say things like that." She said sadly.
"Okay." I answered leaning my head against hers.
The grip of my arm tightened around her and closed my eyes. I felt my mind fog a bit and let sleep take me with Twilight beside me.
I was in a grassy field, stone slabs stood in rows. They stretched on before me, a low fog surrounded the place. I could barely see someone on the edge of the fog. I walked through the endless rows taking only minor glances at the worn surfaces of them. I neared the edge of it and saw the person. A young woman stood in front of one of them, a small patch of violets in front of it. She looked down to it with a sad expression, her eyes wet. Twilight.
I stood beside her and looked down at the slab. I couldn't read what it said, dirt and ivy covered most of it. I knelt down to it and pulled down the underbrush and wiped off the dry dirt. My heart sunk as I read the etching on it.
James D. Mink
1986-2012
I looked back to her. She was gone, I was alone. I looked around and saw an old man. He wore a dark suit and his skin was a pale white. He stared at me unblinkingly, his eyes blank.
"What's going on? What is this?!" I asked pointed at it.
He continued to stare silently.
"Who are you?"
He still remained silent.
I looked back to the grave. I clenched my fist and began to tremble in fear. My breathing became ragged and my vision blurred. "Tell me I at least got to say goodbye. Give me that."
He still remained silent.
I dropped down to my knees and stared at the old headstone.
I woke early but simply lied there holding on to Twilight. A tear rolled down my cheek during the time. It dropped down and soaked into my pillow. I didn't think I'd ever be ready to say goodbye.

I looked down to her. Her soft expression, her simple features, her beautiful eye hidden. A lock of her navy hair hung over her face. I felt her warm breath blow across my chest. I breathed in synch with her, inhaling the cool air and exhaling a warm current. Her hand lay on my opposite shoulder, her arm around me. My own arm was wrapped across her stomach. She nuzzled against me lovingly during the night.
I removed my arm from her and reached around to her hand. I gently lifted it off my shoulder and kissed it. I set it down beside her and slipped out of bed. I opened and walked out the door to my room, being careful to walk lightly and not wake her. I walked through the living room and sat down at the computer. I turned it on and listened to the soft whirr of it. The screen lit up and I moved the mouse around.
I logged on and opened a Google word document. I loaded a fresh page and typed out in a larger than normal font.
Twilight,
I went out for a while. I'll be back sooner than later and will gladly spend the day doing what you want to. Something important came up and I wanted to get it done. I love you.
I finished and got up from the computer. I walked over to the closet and grabbed my leather jacket from a hanger. I slid my arms through the sleeves and felt the cold leather chill my skin. I walked to the door and tied my shoes to my feet and left, closing the door behind me.
I sat down in the seat of my bike and started it. I kicked up the stand and road off down the road. I knew where I was going and took every turn I needed. After a while I parked in front of the cemetery and kicked out the stand. I hopped off and walked the way through until I was at the all too familiar spot.
I stood in front of Huang's grave looking down at it.
"Hey man." I greeted to it.
The only sound in return was a chirping from a bird nearby.
"I'm doing better than last time." I said cheerfully.
A small wisp of air blew by and moved the lengthy grass beside it.
"It finally happened man. That dream I told you about, it's happening."
I held a broad smile as I looked down at it.
"Things are going a lot better."
I came closer to the headstone and shed my jacket. I turned it around and draped it around the grave.
"Goodbye."
I walked off and left on my bike. I road down the road to a small shop I'd passed by before and thought of checking out. I parked in the lot, kicking out the stand and walked into the shop with an idea. I looked around the hanging artworks and decided to do something. I asked the artist and sat down with him, a sketchpad with him and I described what I wanted done.
After a few hours of work and talking I left the shop, a gauze around my left forearm. I took seat back on my bike and rode off for home. A soft smile on my face. I rode the opposite path back home and parked. I kicked out the stand and lifted off the seat. I walked to the door and opened it to be greeted by Twilight standing in the kitchen. She had a small plate with a few pieces of toast and a glass of orange juice. She sat at the small table and smiled at the site of me.
I closed the door and took off my shoes, setting them down beside it. I walked through the living room and into the kitchen to Twilight. She got up from the table and we exchanged a warm hung. She looked down to my arm curiously.
"What this?" She asked placing her hand on the bandages.
"I'll show you when it's done." I said smiling with a wince. Even though her touch was gentle, it still stung.
"I got your note. Mr. smarty pants, how did you know I would check what was on the computer?" She asked playfully.
"You're curious, like me."
I hugged to her tighter. "Up for a little more reading, or do we feel like going out?" I asked.
"Maybe a little of both."
"Great."

She took her spot on the couch while I crouched down to the bookshelf, looking for a specific book. I figured after last night she'd want to read it. I found the book and slid it out from it's firm spot near the end. I walked back to the couch and sat down comfortably. Twi leaned against me and looked down at the book. I opened it and read aloud.
"The Bauman Story," I began, turning the page. "Frontiersmen are not, as a rule, apt to be very superstitious. They lead lives too hard and practical, and have too little imagination in things spiritual and supernatural."
Twi clung to me as I reached the climax of the story.
"While thus waiting, his monstrous assailant, which must have been lurking in the woods, waiting for a chance to catch one of the adventurers unprepared, came silently up from behind, walking with long noiseless steps and seemingly still on two legs. Evidently unheard, it reached the man, and broke his neck by wrenching his head back with its fore paws, while it buried its teeth in his throat."
Her grip on my arm tightened as she imagined it.
"It had not eaten the body, but apparently had romped and gamboled around it in uncouth, ferocious glee, occasionally rolling over and over it; and had then fled back into the soundless depths of the woods.
Bauman, utterly unnerved and believing that the creature with which he had to deal was something either half human or half devil, some great goblin-beast, abandoned everything but his rifle and struck off at speed down the pass, not halting until he reached the beaver meadows where the hobbled ponies were still grazing. Mounting, he rode onwards through the night, until beyond reach of pursuit." and with that, I closed the book. "What d'you think?" I asked.
She shuddered and looked up to me smiling. "Humans really like there fictional stories, don't they?"
"Fiction? No, no ,no, that my dear Twilight was a true story." I joked.
Evidently, she took that seriously. "Remind me to never go camping again."
"Feel like reading that wendigo story?" I joked further.
"If it's any bit like that, I think I'll pass."
I reached my arm around her. "Good girl."
"Why do Humans seem to enjoy such...strange thing?" She asked uncomfortably.
I thought about it and shrugged.
She let out a soft sigh and looked off.
I had a weird thought popped into my head. "Hey Twi,"
"Yes?" She replied turning back to me.
"I probably should have done this a while ago, but I want to know. What do you feel when you're around me?" I asked.
She thought about it and looked up to me smiling. "Once…when I was a filly. My mom was telling me how she met my dad. I remember asking her how she knew, that he was the perfect colt for her.”
I raised a brow, wondering how that would answer my question.
Twilight looked up to me lovingly. “Butterflies,”
"Butterflies? " I thought curiously. "Hmmm."
“She said every time she saw him…every time she spoke to him, she felt butterflies in her stomach. A few years ago, I asked her again, and she said she still felt the butterflies…all these years later.” She smiled at me. "That's what I feel."
I nodded silently.
"Do you?" She asked.
"Feel butterflies?" I asked looking off a bit. "No."
She looked down and seemed sad, probably wishing she hadn't said anything.
"But I'll tell you what I do feel."
She perked up.
The corners of my mouth rising. "When I'm around you I feel soft, warm, happy." I raised a hand to the left side of my chest. "When we're together, I feel every beat of my heart."
She smiled and held tightly to my hand.
"Come here," I said with a soft smile. "I want to show you something."
She leaned in. "What?"
I placed my hands on her sides and pulled back.
"What are you doing?" She giggled. "Don't you think it's a little early for that?"
I rolled my eyes. "Not that. I said I wanted to show you something."
I lied down with her on top of me and breathed deeply. "What?" she asked
"Don't speak," I said softly. "Just listen. Feel."
She closed her eyes and rested her head on my shoulder. Her eyes were closed trying to focused.
Beat
Beat
Beat
She raised her head and looked at me smiling. "I feel it."
"That's good." I said quietly, my own eyes closed. "Let's just keep this up for a while."
She laid back down and breathed quietly. I matched her breathing and enjoyed one of those blissful moments you never want to end.
Unfortunately it did with a knocking.
"Mother fucker." I muttered.
Twilight got up and I hopped to my feet angrily. I walked over to it and cracked open the door to see Justin.
"What?" I asked irritatedly.
"Well?"
I let out a disgruntled sighed and opened the door further to step out and closed the door quickly.
"Now wasn't the best time man."
"I don't care." He said with a scowl. "Yes or no?"
"No alright. Fuck, why do always have to just piss me right the fuck off?"
"Whatever asshole." He said starting to walk off shaking his head.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?" I asked.
"To get Jeremy and take care shit." He said turning back around. "You can go back to your great new life and live your dreams. Reality check asshole, not everyone can just be lucky and have some great life."
"Fuck you."
"I'm sorry, what? I didn't catch that" He said stepping closer.
"I said fuck you." I stated flatly.
"What?" He said leaning in. "I-I can't hear you with that dick in your mouth, what?"
"I said FUCK YOU."
He looked back to me sourly. "I don't even care." He said starting back off.
"No, you're not."
"Well why the fuck not?" He asked turning back around.
"Because I've seen enough of my friends die, alright? What they did was because of me and that was my problem. I let it go and that's that. I'm not letting either of you die because you feel like being dumbasses."
He stared at me blankly.
"I've let one friend die and that's enough. Just go the fuck home. Reality check asshole, GROW THE FUCK UP!"
I turned back around and reached for the door handle.
"I'm sorry man." Justin said to me. "I'm tired of taking shit, alright? I'm just tired of it." I looked back to him. He had a frustrated expression. "You're right, alright. I'm sorry." With that he walked back across the street.
I sighed and opened the door, walking in and closing it behind me. Twilight looked to me from the couch. I sat back down beside her and held my head in my hands. I slouched forward with my elbows to my knees and stared at the floor silently. Twilight placed a hand on my back.
I sighed and looked back to her. "I took care of something and now it's done with. I'm done with it and I'm glad. All I want to do is spend time with you and put it behind me."
She smiled softly.

Chapter 62: Taking a walk
"So what do we feel like doing today Twi?" I asked.
She held up a finger to her chin thinking. "Hmmm." She looked toward the window then the clock. "It's a little past noon and it seems like a nice day. How about we just go for a walk, maybe you could show me around some more."
"Sounds good." I said standing up.
She followed and I slipped on my shoes while handing her hers. We were set and ready and walked out the door, Twilight following close behind. We walked at a comfortable pace down the cement sidewalk looking around.
"You see that kind of stuff." I said pointing at a house with a rather done up yard. "I've always wondered what it takes to get a yard like that. I really like things like that."
Twilight held onto my arm. "It looks really nice." She smiled. "I wonder just what it would take too, I think I had a landscaping guide back at the library."
"Too bad we're not there."
"Yeah." Twilight said sadly.
I kept my gaze on her while facing ahead of us, cursing myself for saying that. "She really misses her home and friends. I feel like such an ass that I can't help her get home. " I felt guilty that I couldn't take her back to Equestria. If I could, I would gladly do it and stay with her.
"Hey Twi." I said softly.
"Yes?" She replied, matching my tone.
"Just what do you miss the most?" I asked, thinking I could help replicate it for the while.
"...A lot things. Friends, family, my home at the library." She sighed and looked down at the ground.
I stopped and looked at her with a sad face. I pulled her close and hugged tightly. "Listen, I'm sorry alright, I'm sorry I can't do anything. I'm an asshole and can't do anything to make it better for you. I'm sorry."
She hugged back. "It's not your fault. You tried to help me realize it and I have to face things. I'm stuck here and there's nothing I can do about it. But I'm stuck here and I found you and that makes it as good as I need it to be."
I smiled at that and let go of her. She was right and I was too. She may be stuck here, but I'm making the best of it for both of us. We continued walking, Twilight staying a little closer. I pointed at a small robin. "That's our state bird." I chuckled. "They're pretty cool."
"State?" She asked confusedly. "What do you mean?"
I thought about how to word it right. "Well you see, the country we're in is called America, the Unites states of America if you feel like being technical, but America the same. America is divided into fifty smaller zones and territories called states. Each state has its own smaller culture, government, and history from the people that live there. The state we live in right now is called Michigan, and the bird that is deemed most special by this state is the robin."
She looked off at the robin and smiled. "America is a strange place."
"That, my dear Twilight, is oh so true."
"Do all 'states' have things like that?" She asked.
"Well, yeah, just about. Some are more known for things like nature, some for cities, some for a lot of things. I really like Michigan. You get a taste of basically everything. Nature, city, open land, coastal zones, hell we even border another country entirely."
"This place really isn't that bad when you think about it." She smiled.
Most of the time I never really cared to think about things like that. Now that I do, I really had to agree. "This place, as fucked up as it can be, really is great."
She looked around thinking for a moment and looked back to me. "Are there any other special fauna deemed 'state worthy'?" She asked as we rounded the corner.
"Oh tons. There's a state mammal, a state fish, a state reptile. This place is known as the wolverine state for christ's sake. Michigan is all about animals." Saying that made me think fondly of Kian and a certain pony.
She looked up and watched the sky for a few seconds. "Neat."
"What?" I asked turning my attention to her.
She pointed up to a cloud in a zig-zag shape. "Do humans shape the clouds here too?"
I put my arm around her opposite shoulder from me. "No, that's all natural. This is one of those rare moments that something really crazy happens and it's just plain cool."
"That's a bit of a frightening thought, but I still thinks it's pretty."
I looked up at it with her, having another one of those peaceful moments that you savor to the end.

Chapter 63: Watching the sky
We continued watching the cloud as it slowly moved by. After a few minutes it finally went out of view and we moved on. Keeping our slow pace, we talked.
"Now I get why you really like the sunset." Twilight said happily.
"And just what's your theory?" I asked.
"It's beautiful, just like all the other things in the sky." She smiled.
I smiled back and sighed thoughtfully. "For the longest time, watching the sun go down on the horizon was really the only thing I liked about this place. I guess in a weird way you reminded me it's not." I chuckled.
She smiled quietly and looked around again. We crossed the street and walked on. I spotted the park up ahead and had an idea. I changed route and instead of taking a turn went straight. We neared the open area of it and I looked around. It was early so no one would be there. We had it all to ourselves. I lead her through the open grassy field to the small hill near the middle. She followed me up it and I stopped at the top to look back to her. She looked around to see the view of the small plot of trees.
She smiled at the site of one of the larger ones and I understood easily. I sat down on the soft grass and waited. She stood there a few feet from me, still looking at the tree fondly. I looked to the tree and thought about what I would feel if I wasn't here, in my own home. Then again, I wouldn't have much being that all there really is is Jeremy and Justin. But I remembered what little family I had left. My mother and younger brother. They wouldn't mind that much if I was gone, but they'd still miss me. I wondered just what all the other ponies were doing without her. Maybe they were looking for her. How could one screw up of a spell cause her to be here? She must have felt so out of place on earth. She probably still does.
All I cared about and wanted was her to be happy. I had to face facts that at some point I just might have to let her go. I laid back on the grass and looked at the bright blue of the sky, thinking. Could I let her go? Could I? What would I say? I loved her and wanted to be with her, but I have my own place where I belong. It would kill me to not be with her, close to her, to see her beside me. I let out a frustrated breath and closed my eyes. "Why me? " I asked myself. "Why did I have to be the one to have her dropped on? Why did I have to be the one to fall for her? "
I felt something move against me and opened my eyes to see Twilight lying next to me. She was pressed against me and her hand was beside mine. I could see her eyes follow a cloud and I looked up to it. The one solitary cloud over us, just floating by. I looked back to Twilight, a weird thought in my head.
"Hey Twi,"
"Yeah?" She answered turning to me.
"What do you think it would be like? The other way around."
"What do you mean?" She asked with a curious expression.
"Like how it is now. You and me. What do you think it would be like if I was the one stuck in your world?" I asked.
She looked back up at the sky thinking. A few quiet seconds passed before she answered. "I don't know."
"Do you think we'd still be...us ?" I asked with a soft expression.
"I don't know."
I looked back up to the sky and thought about it. "We'd find a way and be together, right? "
Her hands moved closer to mine and held onto it. "I don't really want to think about it."
I held on to her hand and looked down to her. "Well, we're like this now. Why worry about it?"
She smiled and rested her head on my shoulder. We looked back up at the small cloud together in silence.

Chapter 64 (Redo): Seeing gray.
We lied there atop the hill, staring at the endless blue of the sky. I started really thinking about things. Things like what I should say or do for Twilight, she said she's fine. She's a terrible liar. Thoughts started to ramble on in my head. "Can we really make things work out? I'm gonna damn sure try, that's certain. " I sighed and closed my eyes. "I'm fucked, aren't I? "
Twilight broke our silence. "Can I ask something weird?"
"Sure, why not." I said softly. I gave a small laugh. "Us and questions, eh?"
"The day I met you, a few days ago. When we were drinking, whatever that was, you said something I've been wondering about. Why don't you like your eyes?" She asked looking to me.
I thought about it and exhaled a deep breath. "Years and years ago, when I was a boy, my eyes were blue. Blue as, well, that." I said pointing at the sky. "When all the shit went down I felt empty and alone. Like I was broken, like somehow it was my fault. I grew up knowing only things like hate and anger for myself. I didn't care about myself. I didn't care if I got hurt or anything like that. Up until now, I still felt that way. Every year I grew older, I kept track as how many years I staved off letting go and just dying." I turned to my side and looked at her. "What color are my eyes?"
She looked at me with a softening expression. "Gray."
"Right, and now you know." I said looking back up to the sky.
"You said up until now. So you've changed your mind about yourself?" She asked.
"I guess so." I said as the corners of my mouth began to rise.
She smiled and held onto me.
I thought about this. Moments like this, me and Twilight, just talking and sharing things. This is what I enjoy the most. She's the only person I've really talked about things with. She listens and understands me. If I ever told anyone about things like this they'd probably just stop talking to me. Her, she actually tries to help me and make me feel better.
I decided something then and there. I decided that I would stop worrying about things, about the ifs. "Things will work out just fine and that's that. " I held back and looked quietly down at her, her face buried into my shoulder. I leaned my face close to hers and whispered into her ear. "I don't care if this was just some screw up. I'm still happy you're hear."
She lifted her face up, looking at me with a soft smile. She was barely an inch away. "I am too."
We leaned in and kissed for split second. I looked into her eyes and could see the love she had. I felt happy for once. I knew things would be perfect, nothing would change that. We lied there together quietly, practically asleep. Hours passed by and still we comfortably lied next to each other. Once in a while making some small sounds or speaking a few words.
Noon shifted to evening and the sun moved quite a bit west. I sat up and looked around the still empty park trying to regain a grasp of reality. It was cool and breezy. Twi sat up beside me taking in the cooler night. I rubbed my eyes feeling ready to actually sleep and stumbled to my feet. I reached out and helped up Twilight, also sharing a need of sleep. My arm supporting her, we walked down the small. It took a little longer this time, taking more than a few missteps and barely correcting myself to keep from falling.
I finally led her out the park and back onto the sidewalk, going in what I was fairly certain was the right way back. We walked at slow pace laughing at how ridiculous this seemed. To anyone, this would seem like a drunken pairing stumbling to one house for an intoxicated mistake. To us, it seemed like a goofy moment for both parties. I laughed thinking about what people probably thought was happening and Twilight laughed because this was so random. Stumbling back to the house of a member of the opposite sex sounded bad, but when you throw in that both are perfectly fine and not in some different state of mind, then it just seemed silly.
Lucky for me it was the right way and I escorted her up the path to the front door and opened it. Closing the door behind me, I kicked off my shoes. Twilight on the other hand was just a bit out of it and nodded off standing next to me. I caught her at the first idea of her falling, and shook my head smiling lightheartedly. I slipped off her shoes and lifted her up, arm over shoulder, carrying her back to the room.
I carefully walked through the doorway, trying not to bump into a wall or slip and set her down on the bed. I moved around and slipped in from the other side. I wrapped my arm around her and pulled up the covers, nodding off myself.

My eyes eased open, the bright light of the morning filled my eyes. The sounds of chirping birds filled my ears. I squinted and looked around me. I wasn't in my bed with Twilight though. I don't think I was even in Clinton township anymore. I rubbed my eyes, staring at what surrounded me. Beautiful buildings of reds, browns and whites. Decorated bricks and woodworking. Even people. They all wore strange, old clothing. Loose baggy clothing in mixture of dark colors. Groups of people walking about and enjoying the early day, speaking a language I didn't know and couldn't seem to place.
I looked down to myself with minor surprise. I was wearing heavy wool clothes with some similarity to everyone else, except, mine had been adorned with leather armor of some kind, with old runic symbols that seemed familiar. My clothes held a dark blue color to them and seemed like they were made for some other place entirely. But that wasn't the half of it. Instead of some form of pants I wore a knee length cloth around my legs, made of a heavier wool, in a flannel pattern. A similar material was in the form of a sash around mt torso. I sat on a stone bench.
"Why the hell am I wearing a kilt?" I asked myself.
People walking past began to take lingering stares. I couldn't quite blame them either. I scratched my jaw and found another surprise, my face was soft and felt bushy . I realized I had a small beard too. I stood up from the bench shaking my head.
"Me and the fucking dreams." I muttered.
I walked around a bit taking in the site of all the buildings and their designs. A few men in stand like buildings called out to me, I walked close and looked at the goods they had available. One had what seemed like old swords and other weapons, as well as armor. They all seemed old but in peak condition. Elegant, well made, lethal. Another had a smaller shop that had a few large rolls of fabric and many displaying clothes, along with many belts and pouches. A man behind him was working on some sort of robe. I walked on and continued looking around.
I still couldn't figure out what everyone was saying.
"With those clothes it's pretty easy to spot you amico." A friendly voice said behind me. I turned around to see a man a little shorter than me wearing red and white robes with a hood than ended in a point.
"Well I could say the same about you." I said rolling my eyes. "At least someone here speaks English. Sort of."
"Lucky you then." He laughed. "It is a pleasure to meet you signore" He said nodding.
"And just who may you be?" I asked.
"Ezio, Ezio Auditore Da Firenze. At your teachings mentore." He said bowing.
"Teachings? You?" I asked.
"Si, Gilberto said I had become to attached to these contraptions of Leonardo." He said holding up his left forearm, a decorated bracer around it. "He told me you had plenty to teach me about with my hands."
"I have no idea who you're talking about." I said looking off. "I don't even know exactly why I'm here."Dreams. "
"Are you sure? I've heard the thieves and mercenaries speak highly of you. They have stories of your skills. They tell me you can kill a man in a single movement of your hand."
"Hey, hey, don't say that sort of thing out loud." I said nervously.
"Why? No one knows of what we are saying." He said gesturing to a few passerby's.
"Right. Hey, wait, how can you anyway?" I asked.
"Oh, a friend of mine, Leonardo, he taught me. He has heard of you as well. He finds your abilities fascinating. Speaking of which, he and one of his apprentices would like to observe us at work and perhaps ask a few questions. That very student was the one who taught him, she's a peculiar girl that one."
"Great." I said sourly, my shoulders sagging. "Fine, fine, I'll teach you. Not like I have anything better."
"Grande, my thanks to you master." He said bowing again.
"I've never heard someone call me that, but I could get used to it." I said perking up. "Tell me more about your friend."
"Certamente, we'll walk and talk. Oh, I almost forgot. Benvenuto to Firenze." He said leading me down the street. "He's an inventor and artist. A brilliant mind he is. Quite a few aspiring youths come to him for teachings. La signorina di Twilight seems perfect. You'll like her just as much."
"Twilight? " I thought. "Figures she'd be there. "
"The things he's created, you could only dream of. He's even been working on this contraption that could allow a man to fly."
I snapped out of my thoughts and continued listening.
"He'd gladly allow us the use of his courtyard for practicing."
"As long as no one sees us, I don't care."
"Understood, ah we're here." He said stopping at a fairly small looking building.
He led me to the largely decorated wooden door and knocked. A few light footsteps came from the other side and a man with a red beret and a short beard opened the door with a bright smile. "Ezio, Benvenuto amico mio, entrare. Oh, I see you have gathered our foreign guest." He said looking to me.
"Si, this is Leonardo." He said gesturing to him.
"Hello." I greeted as we walked through the door. I was taken quite aback at the sight of all the unfinished paintings, sketches, diagrams, and models of life.
"Twilight, venire, i nostri ospiti sono arrivati!" Leonardo called into the shop.
"Venendo signore leonardo." A soft, familiar voice replied. A young woman with long navy hair hurried into the room carrying a few roles of parchment. She smiled at our sight. "Ciao signore Ezio," She said nodding to him. "Hello." She greeted to me.
I smiled and nodded.
"Alright, why don't we get to work?" Ezio suggested.
"Uh, sure." I said turning to him.
I followed out to a small courtyard where there were a few training dummies set up. "You go first and I'll watch." Ezio said.
Twilight and Leonardo stood by watching curiously. I stepped up to the dummy and turned it around. "Alright follow my movement." I said placing my hands on the chin and back of the head. "This is quick, but often blood spills from the mouth, so it's not the most optimal." I said twisting.
Ezio nodded and continued watching.
I flipped the dummy back around. "Now this," I said making my right hand a fist. " is something you can use quickly to dispatch a guard, but only in a hurry." My middle and index finger, still bent, extended out. I wound back my arm and punched at the neck, the neck in turn bent a bit and drooped lamely. "You could also use it as a desperate move in a fight."
Leonardo cleared his throat. "Just how much force would be necessary to properly crush the larynx when doing so?" He asked.
"Very little force. That's why it's so lethal." I said turning to him. I looked back to Ezio. "It would take a few seconds to kill the person, but it's quiet and clean."
He nodded. "Bene, I could use that some time."
Twilight quickly wrote down a few notes and went back to watching.
I decided to leave the dummy for this. "Alright, this one is good for knocking someone out but won't kill them. I can't really show so you'll have to get this one on your own. Place your hand to your throat." I ordered.
He placed his hand to it and waited.
"Now moved you fingers and thumb along it."
His hand moved around his throat.
"What you need to do is use you four fingers to hold on like a ledge and push with your thumb. Hold tight and muffle the persons mouth with your other hand and you'll knock them unconscious for roughly an hour. It's fairly quick, quiet and clean, just hide the body and you're good."
"Fascinating." Leonardo said taking down notes of his own.
"Practice for a while and I'll show you more." I said.
He nodded and practiced the neck snap on one of the nearby dummies.
I walked over to Twilight and Leonardo. "So, I heard you had questions?"
"Why yes." Leonardo answered cheerily.
Twilight simply smiled and nodded.
"Since I have time I might as well answer a few."
Twilight opened her mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Leonardo. "Splendid! I'll get us some refreshments." He said walking off.
"Alright, you're open, speak up now that he's gone." I chuckled.
She smiled a bit. "Not many of mine were, per say, related to this. I was more curious about your home land."
"Alright, ask away."
"Well, I was wondering if I could do a few things while asking them."
"Sounds reasonable" I nodded.
Leonardo came back with a few beakers of wine and a couple scrolls and quill pots. He took seat on a bench and looked up to me smiling. "Could you describe the sound of a human neck vertebrate upon breaking?"
I sighed and thought about it. "Like an old tree branch snapping off."

Chapter 66: When in Florence
"Fascinating" Leonardo said, scribbling down notes with his quill. ""Let's see, oh! Just how many kilograms of force does it take for a Human femur to break?"
I took an irritated breath. "You know what a PSI is, right?"
"A what?"
"Mass plus gravity. It takes about a hundred and sixty PSI to break a femur so somewhere around a sixty-eight kilograms. That it?"
He starting taking more notes. "Just how does a-"
"Leonardo." Twilight said in a chastising manner.
"Oh, my apologies. I got a little swept up in things. I just couldn't help but take the opportunity."
"Whatever." I said rolling my eyes.
Twilight handed me one of the beakers and took one for herself. I sipped it, the taste was hard to describe. I don't think I'd ever actually had wine before. Sweet with a bitter aftertaste. I looked back to Ezio who was now practicing the throat gouge. He wound back and struck hard, the neck of the dummy bending in and sagging.
I nodded proudly. "Well done." It felt pretty good to teach, even if it was young man and killing.
He walked over to us, pulling back his hood and taking a beaker. He was a man of his early twenties, his skin a fading tan, with long black hair tied back. A small scar on the left side of his mouth. He sipped the wine. "Your reputation does proceed you mentore." He said with heavier breaths.
"Wish I heard it." I muttered. I looked back to Twilight. "So you were saying?"
"Come." She said walking back to the workshop.
I looked back to Ezio. "Uh, keep up the practicing."
I followed and entered the room where she stood by a table with a few instruments and a piece of parchment and quill. "Sit" she said gesturing to a small stool.
I sat down. "What would you like to know?" I asked.
She reached for a marked piece of string and tied it my head. "Just how are you adjusting to the weather changes? Where you're from is much cooler than Italia, are you any bit uncomfortable?"
"Uh, no. It's not that different. It's not entirely different during the summer."
"Interesting." She said writing down on two different pieces of paper.
I found the newly added accent cute. It suited her nicely. Intellectual and attractive.
She moved the string down to my neck and loosely wrapped it around. "Just how much meat do you eat daily."
"Not that much. Maybe a small amount, a gram." I said uncertainly.
"Hmm."
"Why the ask?"
"I hear that many men from there eat mainly meat. It seems such help with weight and muscle gain." She said writing.
"I have to agree with that, though, some variety is much help. A man cannot live off bread and wine alone, well neither can he only live off meat."
"Funny. Most I've been told of you northerners tell that you are greatly uneducated and brute. You though, are very different."
I laughed at that. "Sounds to me that who ever told you that was the uneducated one."
She laughed as well. "I might just have to agree."
"Twilight."
"Yes."
"Why is it that these dreams bring me closer to you. But it's still just all dreams?" I asked.
She looked at me funnily. "I'm sorry, I think I misheard that. Could you repeat?"
I looked at her. "No, you didn't."
She stared confusedly. "I don't understand, what do you mean?"
"Never mind." I said waving her off. I sighed and looked down at the ground. "Even my own mind is trying get to me. Now I feel like its mocking me. "
"Would you mind removing your tunic?" She asked.
I had to think about that for a second. "Wait, tunic means shirt. Right ?" I took that guess and lifted the sash off my shoulder and over my head, setting it down on the floor. I reached with both hands behind my head and to the base of my neck, grabbing and pulling up the heavy wool clothes. With my bare back to the cooler air, I set it down with the sash.
"Arm out." She said starting to sound more like orders than requests. I extended my arm and she wrapped the measuring string around my bicep, then my forearm, then my wrist. She wrote down a few things and looked back to me. "Do they hurt?"
"Does what hurt?" I asked looking to her over my shoulder.
I felt something cool touch my back. I knew it was her because I could feel what I always felt when she touched my bare skin, a small tingle followed my a relaxing warmth. "All these, these scars . Some seem fresh."
"They're scars, they don't heal, they don't hurt. Scars just build up. Nothing you can really do about them in that sense."
Her hand still moved along my back. "There are so many. You've been through much."
It started to get to me how I couldn't talk to her like normal. If anything, she'd be creeped out by me and the dream would officially suck. "More than anyone can know."
"Your skin though, it still feels soft, untouched. Strange."
"I've seen stranger. " I laughed in my head.
"Tell me, do you think that if you were any other man you would have survived all this."
"Probably not, no."
"Hmm" She wrote down a few more notes and set the string down. "I guess that should do it, thank you."
"Why don't we take a walk?" I asked re-donning my clothing. "Maybe you could show me around."
"I guess so." She said walking to the door I followed out and walked down the street with her. "I'm sure Ezio and signore Leonardo won't notice us gone."
"It shouldn't take that long. Just a once around the district." I said looking around.
"This city is quite beautiful. Much better than old cobbled castles and buildings."
"I'll say." I said looking around at the buildings.
"Firenze is one of most beautiful cities in Italia. I don't think I've ever seen such a place more amazing than this. "
"Yeah."
"Tell me, does it seem strange, this place, compared to your home?" She asked.
"Not entirely."
"Something on your mind?" She asked. "You seem, how should I say, uncomfortable."
"Nothing it's just, all this." I said waving my arm around to all the architecture.
"You do find it all strange." She said looking around.
"It's definitely different than what I'm used to."
"Could you tell me what it's like in your home or village or whatever they are called?"
"Small houses, with smaller families." I said trying to work my angle with my real life.
She nodded and continued looking up at the buildings with me. In the few minutes we'd walked, quite a bit was covered. We neared a large canal and she lead me to it. "I've always liked the water. It's calming and when it's late, looks so beautiful."
The accent made it sound a little better than it really was, but it still was a true thing. I stood beside her near it, looking down at the calm rippling waters. "I like the water too."
"I know this is something strange but, do you have any woman you are fond of in you home? One that you live with or are love greatly?" She asked.
"No, not right now." I answered. "At least none that I'm not already with. "
"What do you think of the people of this place, the woman specifically?"
I thought about it for a moment. "They're smart, understanding, and very beautiful. Though I've only met one."
She looked up to me curiously.
"You didn't mishear me." I said looking down to her.
She continued to look at me curiously, coming a little closer. We moved closer and closer still, leaning to each other. Our faces close she looked along my face for any signs that I was lying or shouldn't be trusted. She didn't seem to find any and her eye lids lowered. We kissed for a few moments and she pulled away.
"This is so sudden and unheard of. We've only just met, but I feel-"
"Like you know and love me." I interrupted.
She looked up to me with a soft expression. "Yes. Do you feel it too?"
I nodded.
"Maybe it's not so strange. Maybe it's just-"
"Different." I interrupted again coming in for another kiss.
She seemed surprised by it, but took well and kissed back. My hand moved up behind her head, holding it. Her own hands held to my shoulder, her forearms the only thing separating us. Our faces were pressed together almost roughly and our lips moved together.
"Oh there you are. We were wondering where you-oh, uh, when I said you'd like her I didn't expect it to be this much."
We split and I looked where the voice came from to see Ezio. "Shit. " I thought. "Well that's what you get when you do things in public. "
Twilight looked off, pretending not to know what he was talking about. I simply looked at her.
I sighed and walked over to Ezio. "So you think you've got it down?" I asked nonchalantly.
"Uh yes, I think so. There's only one way to know for sure. Would you accompany me for this, or would you rather stay here?" Ezio asked with a smirk.
"Go on ahead, I'll catch up in a minute."
"Inteso." He said walking off.
I looked back to Twilight. "I'll see you again soon, alright?"
She smiled at me. "I'll be waiting."
With a shared smile I left. I hurried down the street looking for white. "Hey, up here." The familiar voice called out from above.
I looked up to see Ezio standing on the roof of a building. "Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes to be on roofs. "
"It is faster. Come." He said motioning for me to climb up.
I rolled my eyes and reached up to the wall, grabbing onto the small ledges and holds of loose bricks and small outcroppings of the buildings. I could hear a few murmurs from behind me. "Bad time to be wearing a kilt. " I thought climbing up it. I reached the top and pulled up over the edge, getting a disgusted roar from the crowd below. "Fucking people."
Ezio laughed a bit. "It's been a time since I've meet someone that can make things fun. At least not one that was a man."

Chapter 67: Fight and flight.
"Guess that makes me your first time." I laughed.
He laughed too. "That's a good one." The laughter died and he looked on across the rooftops. "Think you can keep up?"
"On the roofs? Fuck no, but I'll try."
"Be careful then." He said starting up a run across the rooftop, his feet giving of clanks as his boots hit the clay tiles.
"This is refreshing." I said running after. I followed Ezio along the long roof to a small gap between another that he nimbly jumped. I hurried my pace and jumped, hoping with all I had that I wouldn't eat it and fall thirty feet to death. I barely landed near the edge and stumbled forward. I panted heavily. "Fuck this shit."
"You were right about not being able to keep up." Ezio said laughing.
"Parkour isn't my thing." I said calming my breathing.
"Well you better make it. Keeping to the ground makes things a lot harder."
"Not if you know what you're doing."
"Then show me." Ezio said moving out of the way. "There are archers all across the rooftops. They spot you on the ground and it's over."
"Okay, rooftops maybe the better option then." I said seeing one across the large gap of the street.
"Exactly. Now follow me, I want to practice on the real thing, tell me what I'm doing wrong." Ezio said running back across the roofs and out of sight.
I stood there waiting and after about a minute I saw Ezio on the other side, sneaking up to the guard. He grabbed him and held a hand to his mouth, the guard struggled in his arms. Ezio twisted the guards head to side but still he struggled. Ezio twisted harder and the guards squirmed about. Ezio finally pulled as hard as possible, the guards head jolted to the side before slumping down. Ezio set him down on the roof and hurried back.
"Well?" He asked.
"That was sloppy, very sloppy. You need to do in one quick fluid motion. No stops, no holding back. Just twist." I said very disappointingly.
"Right." He exhaled.
"Forget it, this would take too long and I don't feel like sitting around."
"Please, I may need these skills. I'll try harder." He said in an almost begging manner.
"Fine, don't be such a bitch."
I followed him across the roofs to another guard position. I watched as he sneaked up behind him and grabbed his head. Hands on chin and back of head, he twisted. The guard slumped and he eased him down. "Better?" He asked.
"Much."
"Great. Now I can stop worrying." He said in joking manner.
"You really seem to take these sort of things lightly."
"Really, most people say I'm pretty serious. Strange."
I shrugged.
"Come. I would like to show you something in return." He said leading me across the roof to a small ledge. "Since you seem to take much from the watch and learn philosophy, then I think it's about your turn." He looked over the edge taking a deep breath and leaped off in a swan dive.
I stood there mouth agape at the sight as he landed in a cart of hay and hopped out perfectly fine. I peaked over the edge and sighed. "Good thing I'm not acrophobic." I backed up and ran forward, jumping. My kilt fluttered and flew up from my waist as I soared through the air. My manhood now out in the open. "Motherfucker!" I yelled angrily. I slammed into the cart hard and my vision blurred. My head drifted and everything darkened.
My eyes eased open and I looked around me. Bed, clock, Twilight. I sighed and laid my head back down. "Well, at least things are alright now. Still kinda liked the accent though, sexy. "
I looked over to the clock.
6:41
"Looks like I have some time. Might as well try to enjoy it. " I thought holding Twilight a little closer. The corners of her mouth rose a bit, she cuddled to me, unconsciously or not I still liked it. I brought my head down close to hers, my nose near her hair. Her scent still held a sort of grass like feel to it.
She mumbled something inaudible and nuzzled her face to my shoulder affectionately. "I wonder just what kind of dream she's having? " I thought to myself.
Her eyes began to open and I could see the thin shimmer of violet grow. She looked up to me. "Morning." She said softly.
"Morning." I answered back.
We shared a quick kiss and went back to the cuddling. "So how did you sleep?" She asked.
"Okay I guess."
"Dream about anything?" She asked.
"Nothing much, a bit of you." I said looking off.
"Just what about me?" She asked with a growing concern.
"Nothing bad, just us being us." I said looking back to her.
She smiled and came close for another kiss.
"Well I guess we can get up now."
"We don't have to, we could just lay hear for a while." She offered.
I thought about it for a minute. "Sounds good to me." I said smiling.
She smiled back and hugged tightly. My arm stung a little and I forced myself through it. She could see my uncomfortable face and looked up to me worriedly. "What's the matter?"
"Arm." I answered simply.
She looked to my left arm and stared curiously at it. "When are you going to tell me what that is anyway?"
"Like I said, when it's done."

Chapter 68: "He needs work."
{Play this very low and you should just about get the feel I did while writing the begging}
We lied there holding each other. She hummed and sighed occasionally, enjoying the moment. I quietly yawned and sighed with her. We'd share loving gaze for a few moments and share kiss before burying our heads in the others shoulder. For a time our breathing was matched and my heart beat a little harder. She could feel it and held her hand to my chest. I held my hand over hers and we leaned our heads together, our foreheads pressing together.
Sometimes she'd turn over and I hold her tight from behind. My head over hers, my chin to her neck. We'd never really done anything like this. Most of the time it would just be her lying atop me, now we found something just as good to take place when we want to . I sighed and she nuzzled her cheek to mine. My heart beat just a little harder.
"I'm liking the new look and how it feels." She said softly.
"The what?" I asked smiling and raising a brow.
She turned over and moved her hand up to my face, rubbing my cheek. "All this."
My face pulled a little to her touch and I realized I hadn't shaved since the day I met her. My face held a lengthy stubble I hadn't noticed for some time. She liked it, and I only shaved once in a while anyway. "I'll keep it if you want." I offered.
"Alright."
We shared a smile and kissed. I looked back to the clock.
8:49
"Been doin' this for a while. Could get used to it though."
"I'll say." Twilight said holding tightly.
"So what do you feel like. Maybe a shower and some breakfast?" I suggested.
"Sounds great."
I lifted off the covers and we slipped out of bed. "You get things started, I'm gonna do something real quick." I said walking through the doorway, down the hall and into the kitchen. I set the kettle on the burner, turning it on and grabbed the loaf of bread, placing a few pieces in the toaster. I pushed down the lever and walked back to the bathroom.
I felt a little surprise to already see Twilight wait with the shower running and everything. She stood there out side it, her hands on her hips, her clothes folded and set down on the counter by the sink. I smiled that it was this early and I was already seeing her naked. She placed her hand under the running water. "Feels ready to me."
"Great, I'll grab a few towels. You hop in and I'll join up in a sec." I said steeping out for a second, grabbing two towels from the open closet. I placed them down by where she had set her clothes and lifted up my shirt, pulling it off and dropping it. I undid the button to my jeans and slid them down, my boxers following the same route.
I stepped into the shower and stood under the warm running water with Twilight. Having to hold my arm up out of the water.
We washed thoroughly and dried off, going back to the bedroom and dressed. We finally finished the whole routine and Twi sat down on the couch while I poured the cups and added nutella to the toast. I sat down on the coach with her having breakfast, planning out my day.
"Since Kian won't be done with his shit until sometime around four or five, I guess I'm open with Twi. I should probably check my e-mail for that letter from mom. " I thought while taking a bite of toast.
I sat up and set my cup down on the computer desk, turning on the computer. I sat down and let things warn up while I finished my breakfast and cleaned up. I set the small plate and empty cup in the sink and sat back down at the computer loading gmail. God I love Google and their innovations to internet browsing. Internet explorer doesn't get you places like Google.
I loaded up my mailbox and there waiting was one from what I figured was my mom. The address sounded like her. I opened it and read it.
Donny,
I'm so glad we're finally all back together. Kian said he'll be spending sometime with you later so I'll be hearing some more from him as well. How are you? How's Twilight. Oh you two look so happy, I can't believe you grown so much. You're as big as your father was. Life has been a funny thing for all of us since then. But it seems things are looking bright for you. I'm so happy to know I can talk to you now. I love you.
~Mom
Of coarse my mother would write it exactly like a letter. I began typing out my reply, Twilight standing me, bend down over my shoulder. "What's this?"
"It's called electronic mail, e-mail for short. It's kinda like having your own Spike. You type out the letter and send it and whoever it's sent to receives it instantly."
"Neat."
"Yeah, and if you have the right software added to the computer, you can send all sort of charts and documents. If you had one of these back in Ponyville things would be a hell off a lot easier. A little more organized if anything."
She still looked at it while I typed up my letter.
Mom,
I'm happy to hear from you too. When Kian's done with his school work and after school things I'm taking him out and helping him with some things, brother bonding sort of things. And don't worry, I'm not going to take him somewhere like a strip-club or anything. That would be too weird for him.
"What's a strip-club?" Twilight asked.
"Something I seriously hope Equestria does not have. I do not need that image in my head." I said shuddering. I went back to typing.
I'm doing fine and so is Twilight and thank you, we are. Please don't bring him up. I really don't want to talk about him. I'm glad I can talk to you now too.
Donny
"Donny," Twilight laughed. "I still think that's a cute name."
"I was hoping that would stay as a thing between me and my mother, but, seeing as it's you using it I'll let it slide."
She hugged me from behind. I smiled and rolled my eyes.
"So what do you feel like doing? A little more research in the paranormal? The internet's great for that."
"Maybe. The hairy giant was interesting." She said tilting her head to the side.
"You'd probably like that crap like aliens."
"Why's that?" She asked.
"Well, the whole other worlds, advanced technology, strange creatures thing would probably be something you'd like." I laughed a little and deadpanned after thinking about it for a minute. I face palmed and she looked down to me curiously.
I sent the message and went up to the browser typing in 'aliens' and hitting enter. I clicked the first link that showed up and got up motioning for Twi to take a seat. She sat down and started reading. I walked over to the couch and sat down trying to figure something out. "Does that mean she's technically on an alien world? " I leaned back in the couch thinking.
"Pretty interesting." Twi said still reading.
I just nodded. "Well this is a total mindfuck ."
I started to stare at the clock for a while, blanking. In almost no time at all it was three and I finally snapped out. Twilight was still caught up in her reading.
I got up and walked over to the door, grabbing my shoes. "I'll be back in a while." I said opening the door.
"Alright." She said still glued to the computer.
"I'm really gonna need to stop showing her things. " I thought while I closed the door behind me. I walked over to it and sat down on my bike, starting it. I looked down at my arm. "I've got time. "
I kicked up the stand and rode off down the road.
Three hours passed and after extensive work I left the shop with fresh bandaging around my arm. Riding down to my mother's. I pulled up the driveway and parked, kicking out the stand. I hopped up from my bike, walked to the door and knocked. I waited for a few seconds and was greeted by my mother opening the door.
"Oh Donny! Come in." She said happily.
"Hey mom." I said smiling. I walked in and hugged her. "Kian home yet?" I asked.
"Uh yes, he got home a little while a go. Should I go get him?" She asked.
"Sure."
"I got your reply too." She looking at me a raised brow. "Strip-club?"
I shrugged.
She smiled and rolled her eyes, walking down the hall. After a few minutes she came back with Kian. "You ready to go?" I asked.
He nodded.
"Alright, uh bye mom. I'll have him back at about eight."
"Okay, you two have fun doing, whatever it is you have planned."
I nodded and we walked out the door. I lead Kian to the bike. "What, you don't have a car?" He asked.
"Nope."
"So does that mean I have to uh-"
"Ride bitch? yeah." I said sitting down.
"Do you have to put it like that?" He asked.
"Just get on little brother."
"You see, double entendre. Can you not do those?" He asked.
"Fine, just get on the bike." I said rolling my eyes.
He sat down awkwardly behind me and held onto my shoulders.
I couldn't resist. "Is that a pen in your pocket?" I asked kicking up the stand.
"Oh uh, yeah. I was doing some--wait. Oh you weirdo."
I laughed and backed out.
Two hours later I walked through my front door, kicking off my shoes and closing the door behind me. I walked to the couch and slumped down onto it. "Man that kid needs some work."
Twi got up from the computer and sat down on the couch beside me. "So how was it, spending time with your brother?"
"I don't feel like talking about it." I said resting my head back.
"That bad?" She asked.
"It was fucking embarrassing to see that." I said raising my hands to my face.
She smiled. "Can't choose your family."
"It was still pretty bad." I said as my hands flopped down into my lap.
"Feel like going to bed?" She asked.
"Little early don't you think?"
"I know." she smiled.
I perked up. "Alright."

Chapter 69: Experimenting is magic (WARNING: explicit)
[Tell me what you think when you're done.]
I lied there next to Twi staring at the ceiling, my mind adrift without a care in world. Everything was right. It was a cool breezy night, with the window cracked open. It was quiet, and I had the love of my life beside me, hanging on affectionately. I couldn't help but hold a bright, happy smile. One week, one week she'd been here and I'd found the greatest thing ever. One week was all it took for my life to stop being a miserable shit existence. One week and I found the life I wanted. I felt almost weightless, like every bit of the hell I'd grown with had just left me.
I looked down to her smiling. "I love you."
She held tight and smiled. "I love you too."
"Twilight,"
"Hmm?"
"I really love you. I love being with you. I love you with every part of my being. I will never stop loving you."
She sat up and looked down to me. "You took the words right out of my mouth."
I smirked and pulled her back down for a kiss. I held it for a bit and soaked in her flavor, my tongue snaking with hers. I knew there was something wrong to it all. But I didn't care. All I cared about was her, and nothing would romp that. She split off and stared down at me, her beautiful violet eyes held everything to tell. She loved me, I loved her, and nothing else mattered. If it were any other night, we'd talk it away. But tonight was going to be different, oh boy was it.
I decided to spin things up, try something new, use something from the book. I guided her with little need, it became routine for her to be up top. Her leg lifted high up and over and she scooted over onto my lap. She leaned down and I craned my neck forward for another wet kiss. My hands slipped up and under her shirt, resting on her sides firmly. They rubbed along her sides gently, just how she'd like it. Her own hands went down under my shirt and rubbed along my midriff, running high to rest on my chest. No doubt to feel my heart, which beat heavily.
I lowered my hands to the edge of the fabric of her shirt and lifted slowly up. Inch by inch of her soft light skin was revealed as the soft cotton cloth bunched in my hands. I held onto it and lifted the shirt up and off her. Her head going back as I did so to keep her hair from flopping down or around into her face. Her upper body was exposed and I looked up to her patiently.
She took her turn and gripped onto my shirt, lifting it. I leaned up to make it easier and the shirt reached my neck. She struggled a bit and I moved in my chin for the shirt to lift off and over my head. The long piece of clothing was held triumphantly over my head as Twi smiled down. "I'm getting good at this."
"Yes you are." I nodded. "Very good."
We both tossed the shirts off to the side. My hands took back their spot along her sides and rubbed gently along her. She leaned down with her hands on my chest for support. Her face came close and we shared another kiss. My tongue crept back to hers and moved with it. All I could taste was her bittersweet flavor and wanted it all the same. Our heads moved together in a nodding bob, splitting for brief moments of air.
My hands moved lower and lower along her sides, to the point where they rested on her small rump and held on tightly. She made a short gasp at my squeeze and split off to look at me with a playful smirk. Her own hands slid down along my stomach to the button of my jeans and undid them. She pulled down the zipper slowly, without breaking eye contact, still holding that smile I knew and loved. "Funny, " I thought. "Usually I'm the one to get her out of her pants first. "
The zipper reached the end and she let go, moving her hands to rest on the waist of my jeans. She held onto the thick fabric and tugged, sliding them down. My own hands went back around and undid hers a little more quickly. I lowered the zipper and slid them down her soft silky thighs. We kicked the clothes off the bed and she sat down atop my lap comfortably.
She eased down to lie on top of me and we shared yet another tongue filled kiss. My hands went back to work and undid her bra, pulling back the straps. She lifted up and I slid the underwear off her arms and tossed them down to the growing pile of clothes. She looked down at me with lowered eyelids. God I love that look of hers. She sat back a bit and held herself, giving off a small shudder. "It's a little cold in here."
"How's about we make our own warmth?" I suggested.
She took a liking to the idea and smiled down to me. She leaned close and moved to the side, whispering into my ear. "You go first."
"Yes mam." I said with a rise in both vigor and libido.
I held tightly and shifted my weight. In a swift moment we switched place. A giggling Twilight looked up to me, her hands rubbing along my chest. "I really like the work you've been doing."
I looked down to my chest. My pecs were leaner than they were a few days ago, her fingers barely pressed into them, and she was trying. "I was getting soft. Muscle can go to shit real easy, gotta keep on my toes." I moved off of her and sat up next to her. "Turn over, I want make this last."
She smiled and nodded, turning over onto her stomach, her face resting on it's side on my pillow. I lifted up and sat down atop her legs, barely hovering. I brought my hand to my other in a fist and pressed hard, eight popping clicks sounding off. She tensed a bit, like last time. I did the same with the other and she eased a bit to it. I thought I'd mess with her a little. One hand came to my chin, the other on the back of my head. Each hand moved in opposite directions, around a dozen loud pops came from my neck. Twilight's shoulder's tensed and she peeked over her shoulder. I grinned down to her, stretching my arms back.
The small burn of fresh blood rushed through my back and gave me a jolt of energy. I moved her curtain of hair off to the side and rubbed my hands together, placing them down on her lower back. I moved them in outward strokes up her back. She gave her sounds of relaxed agreement to it. "mmmmmmm" I moved back and stroked outward a few more times, eliciting another "mmmmmmm" From Twi. My hands hovered above her back and flew higher to her mid back, my fingers pressed down to either side of her spine. They spread out and rubbed deeply in small circular motions. She really liked that.
Another few minutes of that and I moved on to the best part, shoulders. My palms pressed down onto the surface of the blades and moved back and forth in outward arches. She sighed deeply and moved her arms up to her head, folding them and resting her head on her arms. I started up an up and down motion along the length of them and made small squeezes when I reached the top of her shoulders. Every time I squeezed she took a short gasp in anticipation. I rubbed back down and finished with a bang. My hands rested back on her lower back and made small rubs near the spine. My fingers pressed hard to each other on either side of her spine and pushed down. A few soft, popping clacks came from her back and she made a sharp gasp, raising her head slightly.
I let out a silent chuckle as she sighed back into her comfort zone, breathing calmly. My hands slid under her to her stomach and turned her over. She giggled at my action as she settled onto her back. "You really like doing things yourself, don't you?"
I rolled my eyes and took back my spot above her. I leaned in and spoke softly. "How about we try something new." I suggested.
She smiled and nodded.
"Great, that book gave me some ideas." I said leaning closer to her face. She closed her eyes and our lips pressed into a kiss. Our mouths opening further for our tongues to play. Mine moved with hers in fluid motions and she muffled a soft moan. I split off, a thin strand of saliva trailing between our faces. "You'll like this."
I moved my face a little lower and kissed her neck. She tried her best to relax and breathed deeply. I went lower and kissed her collar. She took a sharp breath at the new spot receiving something. I went a little lower and kissed at the open spot of her chest, just below her neck. "ooh." She had an idea of where I was going. I moved a little lower and placed a peck between her breasts, her giving off another excited "ooh." I moved lower and kissed where her ribcage ended and her smooth stomach began. "mmmm" I went lower and kissed above her small naval, getting a curious hum from her. I kept going lower and kissed below the naval, Twilight leaned up to look at me. I gave a soft smile and moved lower.
She smiled back with a greater idea of what's to come. I went back to work and raised my hands up to the sides of her undergarments. My fingers pulled and moved under the sides, easing them down slowly. I savored every bit of her as it was shown until the point I had them all the way down. I soaked in the site of her flower once more. The soft milky skin of her crotch, split down the middle into two perfect lips. My face moved closer and I gave a soft peck above her mound, barely missing her nub. Her breathing was ragged and she moaned softly at my kiss.
She liked it. I took that as my cue to keep going. I moved lower and eased close breathing out a few warm puffs to tease her. It worked, she gave a shaky sigh and leaned her head back. My lips moved close and kissed hers. She moaned out again in pleasure. I laid out more kisses to her nether and she still made her cute sounds of joy at the feeling. Hearing them made me feel that warmth inside. It burned strongly and I kissed deeper, my lips glued to hers. My mouth opened further and my tongue slipped out, giving quick flicks to her clit. She took sharp breathy gasps at every one and leaned hard against the pillow. My lips moved along her slit, spreads her lips. Her clear juices dripped into my mouth and the taste rivaled her tongue's in deliciousness.
Her zone held a warmth as the blood flowed there. My tongue gave more lingering strokes of her nub and she moaned out louder. I nipped at the swelling flesh of her flower and kissed harder. I moved my tongue lower and slid it into her slit, moving along the length of it, soaking in her sweet, tangy flavor. I jutted it forward and went further in, moving around inside her tight little hole. She gasped and held her breath as I moved my tongue about inside her, biting her lip, eyes shut tight in pleasure. My tongue went deeper and deeper in, my open mouth was pressed against her nether. I stroked along inside her, my hot breath puffing out from my nose across her sweet spot.
My tongue worked it's way as far in as possible, snaking around. I hummed to a made up tune in my head, my mouth giving off the vibrations of it and onto her mound. Her warm wet insides seemed even better this way. I put as much effort as I could into her and she thanked in an unexpected way. Her legs lifted up and wrapped around my head, pulled me in harder. She moaned out and her hands pulled on the sheets of the bed, grabbing fistfuls of soft fabric. Puffing out her chest in a gasp, a small spurt of diluted white squirted out into my mouth, covering my tongue. I lapped up the small amount onto her inner thighs as she released her legs grip on me. "A little easier than before, hmmm. " I moved my tongue around my mouth and swallowed. "Tastes even better." I stated with a pleased grin.
She smiled weakly at me, caught in her post coital afterglow. I crawled back up and lied down beside her, patting my hand on her midriff.
"I don't think I can ever say my tongue was tired."
She breathed heavily and looked up at the ceiling. "That was...wow." She exhaled.
I sighed and stared at the ceiling with her. "Oh the things I could show you."
She sat up at that.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"Your turn." She smiled.
I looked up to her with a grin and moved over into the spot she vacated. It was still warm and had a lightly damp feel from a bit of sweat.
She moved down to my waist and hovered over me, keeping eye contact. Her fingers moved under the elastic band and slid down my boxers. I was only half up and still fairly soft. She smiled at that and moved close. "Nothing like working for it."
"I don't think a book can be right about every-" I stopped in a yelp
Her fingers wrapped around it and gingerly started up a stroking motion. Her fingers held firm, tight enough that it feel a little painful. I could feel my heart race at her touch and made breathy mumbles of pleasure, stimulation ran through me. Her grasp moved around my shaft and her index finger gave light stroking rubs along the crown. She moved a little faster, I could feel the warmth resonate off her hand and flow through my length, stiffening further.
Her strokes grew faster still, my member began to give off a small throb in her hand and she licked her lips. A small droplet of pre leaked from the tip and my length throbbed hard in her hands. I clenched my teeth and felt the ache of it begging for her to go on. Her tongue moved out her mouth and she licked at the tip of my member, lapping up the thick sticky pre. She moved her face lower and gave a quick kiss near mid-shaft. My head going back in a through of ecstasy. "Man am I glad you got that book. This is just h-h-h-h-h -aaaaaaa-"
Her lips wrapped around the end of my shaft. Taking in only the head, she teased me with flicks of her tongue across my tip and the gentlest pressure from her teeth on the crown. I grit my teeth, taking in every small jolt of pain that I could. Her head lowered and took in a little more every time. The tip of her tongue licked at the sensitive underside of my head and still held her gaze up to me. She looked absolutely amazing at work and I loved it.
A long drawn out lick down my shaft gained a low groan from me and I breathed heavily. Running her tongue back up the trail, she ended in a puff of breath right on the tip. I gave something between a huff and a groan in approval. Her head bobbed further and took in another few inches, she was only half way down and was doing great. Her tongue worked more of it's magic and licked down the length again. My hands balled up into fists and gripped onto the sheets tightly. She had her own way of controlling me now.
Her head moved further taking a little more. Her hands planted on my thighs as her head bobbed up and down, humming around my throbbing member. It was hot in her mouth, pulsing and twitching with every movement. She began to make half-moaning, half-slurping sounds as she went to town. Her neck craned this way and that, bathing all angles of my shaft with her tongue.
My mouth was held open in a silent cry, giving off only a only a soft low wheeze. My fists began to tremble in place, I held back trying to savor every last second of bliss. Preparing herself with a sharp inhale, she swallowed my entire member. Her chin met my scrotum and her nose met my groin, all the while her sight still connected with mine, a shimmering violet. She could feel me throbbing down her throat and enjoyed thoroughly. Every lift of her head produced a sloppy slurping noise, her saliva bathing my shaft. She moaned and hummed the entire time, pleasing me with her warm and vibrating throat. Every time she took me down to the hilt, a small shudder ran up my spine. It was impossible to hold out anymore.
Pressure stacked inside me. I finally grabbed each of her wrists, squeezing them with almost inhuman strength. I let loose with violent force, thrusting up into her face. My rod twitched and quivered, releasing a hot wave of white down her throat. Twi gagging and swallowing as much as she could. For a few seconds it poured out down her, she still handled it like nothing. When the last bit of cum filled her mouth, she lifted her head off of me with a soft slick pop. My length softening and slowly lowering. A trail of white goo still connecting her lower lip to my tip, she stuck her tongue out to show me the last of the seed. Never taking her eyes off of mine, she closed her mouth, swallowed, and stuck her clean tongue back out with a devious smile. I never missed an instant of it.
I felt like I had seen the face of god, the sight of it set me off significantly, mini me starting to perk back up. She went back between my legs, but with less fervor this time. Now she had to clean up, licking all the bodily fluids off my rod. I rested my head back, feeling the drowsiness come about. She moved back up to me and reached her arm around me, holding tight. Her face nuzzled into my chest. "What do you think? Good?"
I nodded weakly with a stupid grin.
"Think that should do it for the while?" She asked.
I craned my neck forward, lifting my head. "I have one last trick up my sleeve, and you'll really like it."
She smiled with a raised brow.
"You remember that one thing in the book you thought would be cool to try?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Well..."
She smiled and held a little tighter. "It's something new and different with you every day, isn't it?" She said softly.
"Oh you bet it is." I said smiling.
She lifted up and moved over to atop me, staring face to face with me. We moved together for a quick kiss. She turned around. "Like this?" She asked, her rump up my face.
"Uh huh." I answered looking straight into her valley.
"Great, then we can get started?"
"Uh huh." I replied, swept in the sight of this new angle.
I felt something warm and moist wrap around my shaft and looked over to see her back at it. She licked around it again, giving slight pressure with her teeth, all to tease me in work. She started to move her cute rump around my face and I snapped back to reality. She lifted of with a slick pop and looked back to me.
"Hello? You're the one who suggested this."
I smiled at her. "Eager little filly, eh?" I said reaching my hand up. I patted on the spot of her mark, giving off a clapping smack.
"Hey." She said smirking playfully. I stuck my tongue out and licked up along her slit.
She shuddered, giving a soft moan. "Oh I'm glad you did!"
She wrapped her lips back around my length. Her tongue licked around the head, pressing on it gently. My mouth was held up to her mound, licking along her moist slit, every once in a while flicking at her small pink nub. She moaned from the feeling on both ends, her mouth muffled by me. The vocal work vibrated inside her throat, bringing me back up. I could feel the whole half foot of me be caressed by her slick tongue. It felt amazing, almost as good as being inside her velvety folds, something my tongue was enjoying. It jabbed in and moved about, this way and that. Her hole began to tighten and grip at my significantly smaller tongue.
I wished I had more to give on this end, but couldn't, deciding to simply give as much as I could. I snaked my tongue around her hole, moving my lips with hers, kissing them like they were her other lips. She liked it and made a few muffled sounds of pleasure, stimulating me further. I began to throb down her throat again, aching, with the only thing to make it feel any better already on the job. She was surpassing me, I thought up an idea then and there, this would get a little more 'hands on'.
I lifted my right hand up to her cheek, gripping tightly, feeling her taut rump in my palm. Her shoulders tensed and there was a sharp intake of breath from her. My other hand moved up and under her to where my chin was touching. Since my tongue was busy, I found this to be the next best thing. The tip of my finger rubbed gently on her nub, she quivered and moaned at my handiwork. The inside of her throat was warm, very warm. Her tongue licked down my shaft, making it hard for me to focus. I struggled to keep up what I had going, caught between giving, and getting received.
I moved my finger faster along her clit, making her moan and move her tongue around my member. My tongue still dove in and licked along the walls of her nether. The pressure in my waist grew and I leaked out pre down her throat. Her juices became a little thicker and stuck to my tongue. We both were getting to the point. My finger rubbed and stroked, my tongue licked and my length throbbed hard inside. Her teeth moved along the edge, her tongue ran along me, her mound dripped out into my mouth. This moment, the minute, this second, this instant, I felt the greatest I think I've ever felt. Better than just being with her, better than feeling her soft skin and gentle touch, better than her warm breath across my lips.
This moment was pure and unearthly in feeling. And I was sharing it. I was sharing it with her. I could smell the stench of sweat, fluids, and one more thing. I couldn't quite place it though. It was a strong, airy, fragrant. I couldn't figure it out for the life of me. She moaned and her breathing became more ragged. She licked hard along my member, her teeth caressing the skin near the base. I matched her licking, going in as deep as I could. My finger rubbed against her bud furiously. She moaned out loud, loud enough for me to hear it clearly. I groaned at the feeling of her pulsating throat moving around me. It was time.
She was above me, her zone in my face. She slammed down hard, nearly smothering me in her loins. Her face shoved down, taking in as much as possible, nose to groin and chin to sack. My rod pulsed and twitched, her mound leaked and spurted. Our fluids filling the others mouth. Her sweet sticky girl cum poured into my mouth, trickling down my throat. My thick spunk flowed out into her mouth and down her throat, barely swallowing it. We finished, attempting to last longer than the other. She lifted her head up and off my rod with a slick pop and flopped down next to me, panting.
"Best...thing...ever." She managed with a weak smile.
I moved around and laid down to face her, both of us backwards atop the bed. We were facing each other, lying there panting. I could barely breath. We leaned our heads in, our foreheads making contact, staring deeply into the others exhausted eyes. The corners of my mouth raised to make a soft smile. She reached her hand, resting it on my cheek. Neither of us had the mouth for a kiss, so we just lied there.
"Twi." I barely said.
"Yes?" She asked, her breathing settling.
I reached my right hand to my left forearm. The bandage were a dirty now, and I'd only had them for little more than a day. It's healed by now, and she'd like to see it. I tugged at the loose strap that was left for such a thing. The bandaging unraveled around my arm, the skin from my wrist to my elbow decorated. I held my arm up moving it around, letting Twilight see the whole of it. A gray black surrounded all the open spots and the underside of my arm. Right before my elbow was a pink star over another white star, around it was five smaller white stars. Further down was a few dozen violets, not just scattered or as a vine, in the shape of letters. The shape of a name: Twilight .
She smiled with her fleeting energy. I wrapped my arm around her and gave as much warmth as I could, my eyes lulling. She nuzzled close and fell asleep with me.
With every relationship, we are taught lessons. Some of love, some of trust, some of forgiveness. For me just about all of them. I found my place in everything and couldn't have been happier. My new life was established, a lover gained, no--a life partner gained. It was perfect.
I drifted off with a happily created connection to her. I could tell from here on out that things would always be tough at times. But we had each other now, and that made them bearable.

For those of you who want more and always wondered that one question
Here's your answer: WAY out of place
Out of place; inspired by the colab ponyfall
The Early morning sun risen on the horizon. I lay sleeping in my comfortable, well worn bed. The radio clock by my bed reads 6:56.
6:57
6:58
6:59
7:00
The numbers rolled and the music played over the radio.
...
"YEEEEEEEEEEEAH!"
"Holy shit!" I yelped jumping from my bed, still wearing the clothes I had worn yesterday. "Freakin' clock." I said irritatedly hitting the button on the top. I looked at the pinup calendar over my bed, a picture of a Countach lp400 on it. I followed the long row of crossed of days to see the date. "Saturday?! Dammit, fuckin' clock."
With a silent yawn and the usual neck crack and stretching, I readied for the day. I stepped out of my dark room and made my way down the hallway. I stepped through my living room, into my kitchen and through to my family room to the back sliding door and look at the small weather gauge for the temp, seventy-eight degrees. I walk back to my living room and turn on the computer. It loads up and I click on the Mozilla Firefox icon.
I typed into the Google browser; 'FIMfiction'. At the very top, the only previously clicked link stood out a purple; FIMFiction.net. I clicked on it once again and stepped up, walking back into the kitchen, opening the fridge. I grabbed the tall container of orange juice and drank from it. The acidic burn taunted my tongue as I swallowed. Yawning, I closed the container back up and put it in the fridge.
I walked back to the computer and browsed over the Latest top stories and something caught my eye; PonyFall: Majestic Royalty by DragonLS. I clicked on it and began reading.
"Gerald McCormack, I envy you," I said standing up and stretching. "Ponies out of nowhere would be fuckin' rad."
I stepped over to my front door and instead of the normal blue sky, it was a sea green color. "Shit, " I thought. "tornado. "
I threw on my DC's and stepped out to see two of my neighbors standing on the porch of the house next door to me. A thin Hispanic guy, wearing jeans and a muscle shirt, sitting on the steps smoking, and a white guy, wearing the same leaning against the house talking; Jeremy and Justin. I stepped over to them and heard the conversation.
"Man, Sylvia's ass was like," Justin said shaking his head."Just damn."
"I know man, she's one hot ass mamaceita."
"Wassup guys?" I greeted.
"Hey bro," Justin said as we bumped knuckles.
"Eh man," Jeremy said reaching out his hand.
We grabbed hands in an arm wrestle lock.
"You to seein' this?" I asked pointing my thumb behind me toward the sky.
"You too?" Jeremy asked looking over the roach he was smoking. "Damn man, this shits strong."
"Nah bro, I think the sky is doin' that weird thing again. Remember last year? The sky was like, all sorts a colors man. The news was talkin' about some ozone layer bullshit." Justin went on.
I turned around to see the sky had changed to a yellow.
"Oh yeah, that was crazy man. people were freakin' out n' shit."
"Well if the sky goes red again, I'm moving my ass out." I said. "No way I'm dealin' with that freaky ass crap."
"Don't be such a pussy." Justin retorted.
"Whatever." I sighed.
An old woman yelled from inside. "Jeremy, es hora de hacer sus tareas, dile a tus amigos puedes jugar más tarde!"
"Alright Mama!" Jeremy yelled back." I gotta go, guys. I'll see ya later man." He said flicking his roach into a nearby flower pot.
"Yeah, I gotta go too. Later." Justin said walking across the street.
I looked back toward the sky as the color receded and was now a calm blue. "Weird."
I walked back to my house, but stopped as a bright flash came from back behind it. I ran into the backyard hopping the fence. I looked around and saw something strange, by my shed I saw what looked a person lying on the ground. I stepped closer and saw it was. A young woman, laid there on her side, asleep, naked .
"What the fuck?" I said walking over to her.
I looked around to see if there was anything else: nothing. I knelt down beside her and looked over her, trying to ignore her state of decency(barely). Nothing was physically wrong with her, as far as I could tell. I put my fingers to her neck and felt a pulse. I leaned in and placed my head on her chest, she was breathing normally.
"How did you get here?" I asked not expecting any sort of reply.
She stirred and mumbled something.
"Calling the police'll probably only make more problems with all the shit around here." I said standing up. I quickly jogged to my back door and slid it open. I ran through my house into my room and grabbed an old fleece blanket. I hurried back out with it over my shoulder. I stopped back at the woman and wrapped her in the blanket. I slipped my arm under her and the other around. I lifted her up, she was much lighter than I thought she would be.
As I carried her I managed get a good look at her face. She had simple features and soft, light skin. Her warm breath felt almost calming to me as it blew up to my face. My jogging pace knocked some of her hair up and into my face. It felt almost air-like and soft. It was a dark blue-violet, with a bright pink and purple highlight. It was long, very long and it draped down over her shoulders. It reminded me of one of the ponies, that mane six character; Twilight.
I walked through my door and slipped a hand out to close it. I set her down on my couch and adjusted the blanket to cover her properly. I walked back into the kitchen and turned on a burner on the stove, placing a metal pot on it. "Well, I guess I have a house guest. Great ."
I walked into the living room and grabbed the swivel stool I sit in from the computer and brought it over by the coach in the family room. I sat there with my forearms on my knees, watching her in silence. After a few minutes a loud whistle came from the kitchen. I hurried in and removed the pot from the burner, turning off the flame. The whistling pot died down and I grabbed two cups from a cabinet and poured the boiling hot water into them. I opened up my cupboards and rummaged through to find a box of loose herbal green tea. "This should suit her fancy."
I poured the loose ground leaves into the cups and carried them to the coffee table. I sat back down on the stool and folded my hands waiting. I looked back at our new guest as her eyes opened in a panic, "Celestia no!" She yelled leaning forward.
I placed my hand on her shoulder and eased her back down. "Whoa there, take it easy." I said alarmed by her reaction.
"Who are you? What are you?" She said frantically.
"I'm the guy who found your pretty little ass in my backyard." I replied plainly.
There was a look of confusion on her face as she looked around. I turned around and grabbed one of the cups and held it toward her. She only looked at it, more confused. "What? You don't like tea?" I asked.
She reached her arms out from under the blanket and reached for the cup but stopped, looking at her hands with a mixture of shock, awe and confusion on her face. "What is this? What's going on?" She asked quietly, moving her fingers around and examining her hands.
"I found you passed out in my back yard, so I brought you in here." I explained. "You were already naked when I found you."
She looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"Just putting it out there." I said, hands raised up.
"Where am I?" She asked.
"Clinton township, Michigan." I replied. "More precisely, my house."
"What's," She said as I cut her off.
"Alright, I think it's about time for you answer some of my questions." I stated. "Firstly, Who the hell are you?"
"I...my name is Twilight, Twilight sparkle."
"Alright she must be high or something. " I thought. "Probably why she was asleep in my backyard. "
"What are you?" She asked.
"Who, my name's James." I answered slouching in my seat.
"How did I get here?" She asked looking back at her hands.
"I carried you."
"So you kidnapped me," She said confused and upset. "and turned me into this. " She said gesturing to her body.
"Okay, first of all; I found you in my backyard , secondly; I'm pretty certain you were born like that." I said "And again, you were already naked when I found you." I stressed the last bit.
"Why do you keep bringing that up? I'm a pony, I don't always wear clothes."
"Alright, she's beyond baked right now. " I thought pinching the bridge of my nose. "Okay, Let me ask you something. Have you been having a little bit of this?" I asked pretending to be holding something to my mouth. "Or a Little bit of this?" I asked rubbing my finger under my nose.
"What are you referring to?" She asked, still very confused.
"I'm referring to you being intoxicated being the reason why I found you asleep in my backyard." I said, feeling a little more irritated every moment.
She only looked more confused, she closed her eyes and looked deep in thought. I got up and walked over to my fridge and grabbed a bottle of chilled beer from it. I stepped over to the counter and placed the lip of the cap on the edge of the counter and pounded down on it with my fist, uncapping it with a loud "BANG "
Startled by this, she jumped back slightly and the blanket covering her fell off revealing her breasts. I turned away trying to ignore it, but gave in to urges and peeked over my shoulder to see her looking at me. "Would you uh... mind covering up?" I asked.
She looked down surprised by them. Her hands raise up and moved them around with small squeezes. A siren went off in my mind as I felt my pants tighten. "ALERT! ALERT! FLAG IS AT MASS! REPEAT FLAG IS AT MASS! " My mind screamed. I slouched forward trying to hide myself, taking a long drink from the beer. "Man, something new everyday." I muttered with a stupid grin.
I set the beer down on the counter. "Hold on a sec, don't go anywhere, I need to go get something." I said waddling out the door, closing it behind me.
I walked over to Jeremy's door and pounded on it. "Ease up man, damn!" He yelled from inside. He opened the door brandishing a bat. Seeing it was me, he set the bat down by the door. "What?"
"Hey man, can I uh...borrow...some of... your sister's clothes?" I asked, feeling ridiculous about it.
"The hell you need that shit for?" He asked giving me a 'the fuck?' look.
"I'll tell you later, just grab some of her clothes for me."
"Whatever man, It's not like she'll be comin' back anyway." He said walking away from the door.
After a minute of digging he came back to the door and handed me an old pair of women's jeans, a t-shirt and some sneakers. "Here man, do...whatever with them, I don't give a shit."
"Can I... get some of...her...underwear?" I asked with a small amount of embarrassment.
"The fuck?" He asked shaking his head, walking away into his house.
"Forget it, " I thought. "This'll be fine. "
I walked back to my house, opened the door and walked in. Closing the door, I walked toward the living room and placed the clothes on the couch to her. She looked them over, still revealed. A loud pounding on the door caught me off guard. I walked over to the door to see Jeremy standing there with a bra and panties under his arm.
"Alright I got the... Daaamn ." He said looking past me.
I followed his gaze toward 'Twilight', who was sitting up on the couch, her breasts exposed.
"Damn man," He said to me with a grin. "uh, here" He said handing me the underwear.
I gave him a 'Don't say a damn thing look' and he shook his head with a stupid grin."Have fun." He said walking away, his head shaking side to side.
I walked over to her and threw the underwear to her. "No more questions until you're dressed. Got It?"
*Give criticism, don't just thumb down and leave. Give me a reason you don't like it.

Chapter 7: A story (Raw)
Twilight gave a look that shot daggers, though I honestly wasn't fazed.
"I really want to know, how can someone like you live with doing such things."
I sighed and took a long breath. "Alright, story time."Justin is fixing my bike? Because the last asshole I left it with, tried to steal it and sell it off."
She only looked at me.
"You know what I did when I found out he took my bike? I gathered my friends and we beat the living shit out of him."
She looked at me, not with fear or anger but with confusion.
"We took turns, throwing him between us and beating the absolute hell out of him. I had Justin get on the bike he was working on, prop it up, and rev it. The back wheel was going so damn fast it looked blurry. I held the guy down and pressed his face against the wheel. I listened to him scream and had the biggest smile you ever saw."
She gave me a look of general shock then looked down.
"I liked it, I liked being able to control and hurt him. I pressed his face on the wheel and he screamed and begged until he finally told me where it was. I just tossed him aside. Then I walked over to him, got down on my knees and kept beating him. We left that workshop joking about it. I laughed about beating the life out of that man and leaving him there bleeding out and dying."
I folded my arms and laid my head on the steering wheel. "I actually felt okay with doing that. Do you know what kind of sick, horrible fuck does that and likes it? Me."
I looked over to her and watched as she got out and crumpled down beside the car.
"Twilight, you want to know why I told you that?"
"Why?" She asked in an almost sobbing tone.
"Because you are one of the only people to genuinely care. I watch that cartoon show and think that there is good and kindness in the world, that at least someone in the world is putting the message out there."
I got out, went around the other side and sat down beside her.
"Knowing that makes me feel like less of a monster and just a person who needs help. The lighthearted childish fun makes me feel like a human again."
I got up went back to the other side of the car and dug through it. I found a large amount of junk until I found what I was looking for. A small snub nosed revolver.
I walked off and the only thing I said before Twilight got up and followed me was. "Just fuck this."
*Give criticism, don't just thumb down and leave. Give me a reason you don't like it.

Chapter 22: "Probably should of locked it."
We continued kissing and I pulled her on top. I continued moving my tongue with hers and we held onto each other. We took quick breaths and kept up the sharing of desire. For the second time my hands slipped up her shirt and felt a familiar warmth. Now that I knew what I had experienced I wanted my memory to be jogged and maybe have more. I felt her arms reach around my neck and hold on. She tasted good, really good. I slipped off her shirt and took off mine. The grabbing and feeling continued between us.
I slipped my tongue out and move down. I kissed up and down her neck and took a small bite. She gave a gasp and held on tighter. I could feel her nails dig into my shoulder and loved the sharp jolt of pain. My hands slid down and I slipped off her jeans and my own. Our bodies pressed together and embraced a sensuality. I wrapped my arms around her and held onto her. My hands ran down her back and onto her rump and I held onto her. I could feel her heartbeat on my chest and felt my own heighten. I continued kissing her. I could hear a few low moans and kissed deeper. "Did it feel this amazing the first time."
I felt her warmth across my whole and was in a state of utter peace. I could stay like this forever. I broke the kiss and caught my breath. "Hold up Twilight."
"Why? Is there something wrong?" She asked looked into my eyes.
I felt her gaze. Her eyes were the same beautiful purple that I loved and felt so happy to see. I smiled. "Let's just hold on for a minute. I want to know how you feel."
"Feel." She laid her head down on my chest and thought. I felt her warm breath across my pec. "I feel amazing. I feel comfortable, happy, warm ."
I rested my hand on her head and stroked along her soft navy hair. "That a girl."
"So what do you feel?" She asked raising her head a bit.
I lied my head back a bit and thought it over. "I feel like this should never end." I smiled.
She held on tighter and I did as well. For a time I listened and felt her heartbeat. The light thump of it made me feel even closer to her.
"Hey Twilight."
"Hmmm".
"You want to go to the library tomorrow? I think I know a few books you'd like."
"Maybe. I kind of want to just stay home with you."
Home. It sunk in and I loved it. "She thinks of this place like her home."
"Oh really ?" She asked lying her head back down.
"Yeah, you might like them."
I heard a soft click and looked up to see the door open. The doctor who had stitched my arm was in the doorway with a clipboard. This time though her light-pink hair was in a bun, tied back. "Everything seems alright. You'll be able to leave when your re-" She looked up to see us and a small blush came across her face. She back out and closed the door.
I looked down to Twilight. She looked up to me unfazed. I smiled at how okay she was that the doctor had seen us in our position .
"Probably should of locked it." I chuckled.

Chapter 30: Back to the grind
After a few minutes of enjoying the moment we walked back in and I cleaned up the plate and cups. I looked to the clock. '9:00'.
"Alright listen Twilight, I got some work to do. You think you can last without me for a few hours?"
"I guess." She said in a disappointed tone.
"It's only 'till four. When I get back we can do whatever." I sad as I walked into the living room.
"Okay." She said rolling her eyes.
I walked over to the computer and closed the YouTube page. "If you get bored of reading. You can try out some of the games. Here, I haven't really tried this one yet."
She stood next to me and read the name aloud. "Minecraft?"
"I don't know, it's a weird kind of building game. Do whatever I guess." I walked down the hallway into my room and changed into the old jumpsuit I used for my 'job'.
"Just what do you do as a job anyway?" Twilight asked as I dug through my living room closet.
"You could say I'm a...plumber." I said as I tied on my pair of work boots. "I do a lot of wet work."
"Oh, that's...interesting. Just remember to wash your hands."
"I always do." I laughed as I grabbed the Cabela softcap I usually wore.
She let out a sigh and turned her attention to the computer.
I walked into the kitchen and down the stairs into my warehouse of a basement and came back up a with a duffel bag and some work gloves. I stuffed the gloves into the bag and walked out the door waving goodbye to Twilight.
Seven hours later, I walked back through the front door with a bleeding nose and a limp left arm. Twilight turned to me with widened eyes and an agape jaw. "What happened to you?!"
"Nothing out of the ordinary." I said as I dropped the duffel bag by the door with loud clanking thump. "Can you help me?" I asked.
"Do what?" She asked uneasily.
"On three push my left arm inward."
"Okay," She agreed with a confused look.
She placed both hands on my left arm.
"Alright, one...two...three!"
I pushed against her push and heard a pop. The jolt of aching pain shot through me as I grit my teeth. I began moving around and flexing my arm.
"Great." I said as I walked into the bathroom and grabbed the towel off the rack.
I wiped my dripping nose as I rummaged through my fridge and grabbed a beer. I placed the edge of the cap on the counter and slammed down on it. The cap popped off and I walked back into the living room and sat down on the couch.
"So how has your day gone?"
