Everyone in the room looked at me in either disbelief or sudden apprehension, and Flossy looked like he was getting uncomfortable.

"You can't seriously be telling me you're a zombie. Real funny, big guy!" Rainbow stated with a chuckle. At this, I just look at her angrily.

"You think this is a joke? Before Flossy and the boys found me, I was a slave, Rainbow." I stated back, keeping my voice calm. In truth, I still found it hard to believe sometimes.... but the evidence was overwhelming.

Fluttershy was hiding behind Applejack, who was looking at me skeptically. "Well, are ya still one? Ah mean, ya'll don't seem like one o' them walkin' corpses..."

This time, Flossy answered for me "A dude made a zombie by voodoo can be brought back with salt. I threw a whole thing of it at 'im. But only if you make it in time. We don't think that was the right salt to fully cure his ass, but that's just what our nigga, Monkey said."

"So he may still be under this... "voodoo" magic?" Twilight asked. I really, really don't like that gleam in her eye.

"Yeah." I respond simply, against my better judgement. I might come to regr-

"Would you mind if I studied your magic?!" Twilight asks frantically, interrupting my inner narratio-

"Now calm down, Twi. This subject seems a might touchy for them, Ah'd imagine." Applejack advises quietly. Can a guy not narrate to himself anymore? Seriously!

....oh, so now they let me think.

"Nah, it's okay. I kinda want to figure this out too. Useful as it is, it may come back to bite me in the ass." I say with a nod. I reach into my pocket and pull out my knife, open it with a *whir* *whir* *chink* and start cleaning my now filthy nails.

"And what kind of knife is that?" Rainbow Dash asks, eying the knife curiously.

"It's a butterfly knife. Really sharp, and takes someone with dexterous fingers to handle." I answer with a smile, closing it with it's signature *whir* *whir* *chink*

"Now, you say you were thugs..." Rarity starts "...but aside from your rather uncouth language, you two seem almost gentlecoltly."

...Five minutes later, after me and Flossy were done laughing our asses off, I respond to the now angry Rarity.

"Girl, you've only known us for a couple days. I don't know what "Thug" means to you ponies, but back in our world, the word thug lost all the street cred' it came with. The "proper" term, if you can call it that, is gangster."

"Well, wrong term or not, that was terribly rude!" Rarity exclaims, sticking her nose in the air poshly. It took all my willpower not to start laughing again.

"Well, is that it for the questions?" Flossy asks, doing a better job of holding in his chuckles.

"What does your diet consist of?" Lyra suddenly asks. At this, we look at each other like 'Should we?'

With a nod, I turn my head back to the ponies. "Fruit, vegetables, starch, and meat. And occasionally sugar." I admit with a guilty smile.

And once again, they were all on edge again. Well, except Fluttershy.

"O-oh, you're omnivores?" She asks, sounding almost fascinated.

"I think that's the term for it, yeah." Flossy answers, breaking his silence.

"Well, there are a couple restaurants here that serve the occasional gryphon that passes through, so that shouldn't be a problem." Lyra explains with a smile. Bon Bon...didn't look reassured in the slightest. But then, she's been skeptical about us since she showed up.

"D-do you have to eat meat?" Rainbow asks nervously... she's really seeming out of character since we sat on the library porch that night. Should probably check on that later.

"I think nuts and protein supplements could help." I scratch my head in thought. The girls seem to sag in relief, Rainbow especially. Okay, something's REALLY not right here.....

Seems Flossy thought the same thing. "Yo, ya alright there Dash?" he asks suddenly. Wow, tactless.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she says, shaking her head quickly. Wait....

"Where's your pink friend?" I ask, looking around. Sure enough, Pinkie Pie was gone. The ponies (guess I should start calling them "The girls" now) look around in confusion.

"Who knows with that mare." Applejack sighs. I raise my eye brow at this. Probably a common thing with her, I guess.

"If that's all the questions, I'm gonna go have a smoke." I say, standing up. None of the girls stood to stop me, so I walk out the front door.

The sun was shining brightly, ponies loitered the streets, going about there business, stopping to stare at me occasionally. I just step to the left of the door, lean on the building, and flick out my cigarette pack. Just six left. Ah, fuck it. I take one out and light it up, taking a drag. I feel myself calming down significantly as the nicotine worked into my system, and I blow out a puff of smoke.

The girls leave Lyra and Bon Bon's house, waving bye at me as they left. I just nod my head, watching the semi-busy streets of...Ponyville, I think it was. Makes a little sense. A familiar little filly passes by and glances over before stopping.

"Hi mister Hoo-man!" she calls out to me with a wave. HHHHHHNNNNNNNGGGGGG!!!!!

"Heya, kid! Where's your mom?" I ask, looking around for the grey pegasus.

"She's at work! We got out of school early today!" she says happily "I'm gonna go find my big sister!"

"Want some help?" I ask. I don't care what dimension we may be in, it's never a good idea for a kid to wander around by herself.

"Sure! Thanks mister hoo-man!" She gives an adorable grin as I stand up.

"Call me Frosty." I say with a smile as I start walking with her.

"Okay!"

As we walk down the street, I memorize the faces of everypony that stops to stare. My hands were in my pockets, my right hand idly stroking my gun, my left gripping my knife. I take another drag, narrowing my eyes, and blow the smoke away from dinky. We were walking to a park, kids playing in the sandbox, on a seesaw, almost exactly like you'd see in cartoons.

They stopped to gawk at me as we entered the park. I looked around, and dinky pointed with her hoof at another unicorn, with a light pink coat and purple mane with a light purple stripe. Kinda looks like a recolored version of Twilight to me. I take my hands out of my pockets and approach her with the filly at my side.

"Hi Sparkler! Mister Frosty helped me find you!" she exclaims with another adorable smile. Sparkler looks over at us, then up at me in shock. I just give a grin, spitting out my cigarette before putting it out with my shoe.

"I-is that right, Dinky?" Sparkler asks. Dinky gives another nod and smiles. I stop grinning and look around at the ponies here with us. A pink unicorn filly with a light purple mane was looking at me in fascination, she had a tiara seemingly tattooed on her...flank, I think it was called. To her left was a grey normal pony with an almost white mane, and a silver spoon mark. I narrow my eyes at them, and they quickly look away.

"U-um, thank you mister...Frosty, was it?" I hear Sparkler say. I turn back to them with a smile.

"Not a problem, ma'am." I shrug "I just know that it's not a good idea for a little girl-er, filly to walk around by themselves."

"True, and thanks again." she turns to Dinky "Let's go home, Dinky. Say bye!"

"Bye Mister Frosty!" she says, then hugs me around the ankle. I reach down and ruffle her mane playfully. The two start walking away, and I start my walk back to the house. I did agree to let Twilight study me, so I better get back. There weren't a lot of ponies out now, but the ones that were didn't even glance at me. Good, I'm tired of being gawked at by freaky horses.

"Hey you!" I hear a mare call from behind me. Sighing, I turn around. Well well, It's the pegasus bitch I bit earlier. And some friends. With her was a dark yellow earth pony stallion with a brown mane, and an orange pegasus with a blue mane. I focus on the dark blue mare with her hoof wrapped up and give a toothy grin.

"Hey, it's tasty! And you brought some friends! Good, I was starting to get hungry." I call out with a smile. Now, her friends seemed very nervous about me, eying my teeth. Specifically, my canines.

"Raindrop, I don't think we should do this..." I hear the stallion say to the blue pegasus. Raindrop, huh?

"Maybe you should listen to your friend there!" I call to them, bringing out my knife and opening it *whir* *whir* *chink* before hunching down slightly in a ready stance.

"I'm not done with you, monster." Raindrop says with a snarl. I take out my gun next, and they all look at it curiously. I aim it at the sky and let of a shot.

*BANG*

They all jump back at the noise, and ponies start to gather. I aim at Raindrop.

"Last chance to back down!" I say, no longer messing around. Fuck the consequences, if she's gonna be a problem, so will I.

"...This isn't over, freak." She says, turning and running, followed by her friends. I pocket my gun and knife and look around at the crowd. They quickly disperse, and I keep walking back to the house. Finally, I make it back to the sight of Lyra and Flossy waiting outside.

"Yo dawg, were you been? Got scared ya disappeared, nigga." Flossy says with a sigh of relief.

"Helped a filly find her big sis." I say simply, tossing him a smoke.

+++++

I look out the window to my room, at the half moon, singing quietly to myself

"Come on down to the city of L.A where we ride with gangsters and the pimpin's easy..."
