The Mysterious New Colt

Not long after the, literally, blinding greeting, Pinkie had dragged around the poor child around to show him the party activities. But he could give less of a shit about it.

He saw Fluttershy trying to reach out for him, but her friends had caught up with her leaving DB on the grasp of the crazy party mare. Pinkie pointed him at the bobbing apples, pin the tail on the pony, etc. But his sight was more focused on the building itself.

Despite the candy themed design that it has on the outside, on the inside it looked more like a normal house with some few things that are necessary for running this pastry shop, like the counter and some tables.

All around were streamers and balloons decorated throughout the place, with some confetti scattered along the floor and a banner that said ‘Welcome to Ponyville DB!’. DB could see a fair amount of children of his age, or near his own age for that matter, glancing at him for a moment before returning back to their business. He found it a bit odd that there are more fillies than colts here, but he didn’t complain.

Though a group of three fillies were staring at him from a table they sat on before they look at each other and whisper something out of his hearing range. Something didn’t seem right about them and it didn’t help that Pinkie was leading him to them.

“And these are the Cutie Mark Crusaders, I’m sure you’ll get along great, see ya soon DB!” Pinkie sat him on an empty chair with a big grin before disappearing in the crowd.

“The Cutie-What now?” DB blurted out before finding out that Pinkie left him alone with a group of fillies he doesn’t know “Son of a-”

“Hi there!” The yellow one with a bow greeted him enthusiastically.

“Hello.” He replied with a sigh.

“I’m Applebloom, and these are my friend Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.” She gestured to the white unicorn and the orange pegasus who gave a quick ‘Hi’.

“I like your clothes, where did you get them?” Scootaloo asked him leaning with a big grin.

“Crazy bi- I mean, Pinkie Pie.”

“You don’t happen to have a cutie mark, don’t you?” Sweetie Belle stared at him with glee.

“Uh… no, I don’t.” DB quickly stared down at the table and lifted his hood to hide his barely visible blush, he had to admit that Sweetie looked… attractive.

“What a relief, we don’t have cutie marks neither and we are the only blank flanks in our class.” Scootaloo continued as the filles showed him their bare flanks which made the colt’s blush to slightly increase.

‘Uh… yep, that definitely happened,’ He thought has he crossed his legs under the table ‘Keep it together DB, you must survive this.’

“Hey, what’s with this Cutie Mark Crusaders thing?” He hesitantly asked, his blush and ‘state’ subsiding.

“It’s not a thing, it’s our club!” Applebloom answered him.

“We aim to earn our cutie marks together.” Scootaloo joined her.

“And we could use a colt for our quest.” Sweetie Belle lastly added.

‘There’s seriously something wrong with that last sentence.’ DB quickly dropped that thought as he felt a breeze on his lower waist.

“Hey it’s true, he doesn’t have a cutie mark!” Scootaloo’s voice came from his side and glanced there only to have his blush increase greatly.

“He doesn’t, but what is that black thing between his legs?” Both Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo lifted up his cloak to get a look at his bare flank, it wouldn’t be so bad if his boner wasn’t still halfway up.

‘Wait, how do I know it’s called a boner?’ Again he brushed off the thought and lifted down his cloak a bit harshly “Ask before looking will ya?”

“Hey, no need to be so shy, you’re with good ponies.” Scootaloo gave him a friendly bump on his arm with a smile.

“What was that black thi-”

“Ask your parents or your teacher!” DB quickly cut off Sweetie Belle and got off the chair “Can’t we just go to dance or something?”

“Don’t you have to buy them dinner before that?” Applebloom joined tilting her head to the side.

Yeah, this was gonna suck.

Luckily he was able to get the fillies off him and left them dancing along with other kids, this gave him some privacy that was much needed.

He was still getting glaces from both children and adults, some gave them a quick greeting, but otherwise the party wasn’t so bad as he thought.

Though he ate as few pastries as possible, all that’s here are nothing but sugary sweets and is honestly surprised that nopony has some sort of sugar high, well there is one with some sort of high.

Returning back to his solitary place with a glass of punch on his red magic glow, he watched as the party continued and he hasn’t seen the crusaders anywhere. He was kinda glad, he suspected that they were incredibly stupid, but he had to wait and see. If he was lucky he would have Scootaloo talk very little about Rainbow Dash.

“Hello there.” Another filly interrupted his train of thought.

He noticed that two fillies were in front of him now, but these were other new ponies. One of them was a pink filly with a violet mane with a white stripe. On her head rested a tiara and had a tattoo of said tiara on her flank, he figured that was a cutie mark.

The other one has a grey colored coat with white pearls on her neck, a pair of glasses, a rather fancy looking spoon as a cutie mark and a silver hair. It didn’t took him too long for his eyes to widen at the realization, the accessories, the smug way of talking.

‘Oh fuck me, it’s the rich kids...’

“Why hello there new kid,” The pink one started “Enjoying the party? Cause it fits so much for a lame crybaby like yourself.”

He took a long drink of his glass of punch as they both bursted into laughs, he had almost completely drank it. He headed for the punch table as the snob fillies followed him behind.

“What’s wrong? Are you so ashamed that you have to wear such as ugly rag?” The pink one continued, DB easily ignored her as he refilled his glass.

“Yeah, too bad that you are not as special as we are and you have to hide how much of a pathetic pony such as yourself.” The grey one continued, but the colt kept ignoring her as he drank down his refilled glass.

“Listen here,” The pink one got in front of him and glared at him “We are the most popular fillies at school and out dads are the one of most richest ponies in all of Equestria. So you listen to me when I’m talking to you blank flank or I’ll make you regret it!” She jabbed a hoof at his shoulder with a menacing tone on her voice, but he didn’t seem fazed by this as he placed the now empty glass on the table.

“Geez, buy me dinner first will you?” He retorted back, making the two fillies momentarily silent as they stared at him with wide eyes and jaws dropped down.

“Excuse me?!” The pink filly answered after a few minutes of silence.

“I mean, you’re going a bit too fast, I don’t even know your name nor your friend’s name.”

“You wish!” She raised her voice higher than she intended making a few ponies stare their way “This sweet piece of flank is not intended for blanks flanks like you, you are horribly mistaken if you thought that I was flirting with you!”

“Yeah!” The grey one joined in “Dream on looser, you won’t find a better pony than Diamond Tiara.”

“Oooooh, so that’s her name,” DB replied amusingly “I won’t lie, it’s a fitting name. But if you don’t want me to date your girlfriend, that’s fine.” This had earned a blush on the fillies’ faces and a couple of chuckles from the crowd of ponies.

“Silver Spoon is not my girlfriend! I don’t even swing that way!” Diamond heard the chuckles and gave a low growl.

“Really? Could have fooled me.” This was incredibly satisfying for the young colt, ponies seem to gather around them to witness the show, though it mattered little to him “In that case, my name is DB, nice to meet you darling.” He took her hoof in his and kissed it as politely as possible. Of course that he’s fucking around with her and it was hilarious to see her face completely red from embarrassment.

“I- But- You can’t-” Diamond stammered in her words as some faint laughter reached her ears. She swatted away his hoof and snapped her friend out of her shocked state “Come on Silver Spoon, we’re leaving. This looser isn’t worth it.” She nodded as they both headed out of the shop in what could be possibly their most embarrassing defeat yet, and it was from a colt they didn’t knew.

“Write me!” DB yelled at them and waved at them with a big smile on his face, hearing in response an irritated grunt from afar. Satisfied with this he took another glass of punch and sat alone victorious on an empty table.

“I don’t know Fluttershy, DB seems a bit rude and vulgar. I fear it would be bad influence to Sweetie Belle.” Rarity sat along with Applejack, who nodded along Rarity’s opinion, and Fluttershy.

“And you say Rainbow Dash isn’t?” Fluttershy retorted with a raised brow.

“Huh, Touche.”

“All I’m asking is for you to give him a chance, I’m sure he’s a nice colt once you get to know him, if that’s okay with you.” Fluttershy answered sweetly, lowering her gaze to the cupcake on her table.

“I’m still not sure Fluttershy,” Applejack started as she turned to look at the cloaked colt looking down at the fillies peeking at his flank and covering it quickly with his cloak “But he seems to be getting along with my sister and her friends nicely.”

“And despite being a bit… vulgar, he does know how to control and behave himself properly.” Rarity added in. The butter colored pegasus smiled sweetly, their impression on DB seems to be good go far, even if they still don’t trust him much. All she had to hope was that DB behaves himself.

“But what if his parents come here for them?” Applejack continued turning back on Fluttershy “They must be looking for him like crazy.”

“I don’t think that will be a good idea.”

“Well why not?”

“Look at DB,” The mares looked back at the colt who was dancing awkwardly with the crusaders “That behavior is not normal in a colt, something happened to him that has scarred the poor guy before he lost his memory. Something that maybe even his own parents did to him.”

“I know that,” Fluttershy looked at Rarity with a saddened expression while Applejack stayed awestruck at the implication “But we can’t just leave him at his own luck.”

“Well, we won’t be sure until we find out.” Giving a sigh, Applejack calmed herself down receiving nods from her friends.

Suddenly a yell from a filly caught their attention back at the young colt’s direction. The mares along with other ponies watched him conversing with two fillies that almost all of the town were familiar with, whatever plan they had seemed to have backfired on them.

“Any luck Twilight?” Rainbow Dash asked. Only Twilight and Pinkie had gone into the kitchen to sort things out about the situation.

“No, no luck yet,” Twilight replied putting a hoof on her chin while Pinkie zipped past across the kitchen “There’s no reports of any runaway colts that matches DB’s description, not here, not anywhere near Ponyville, this doesn’t make sense.”

“Maybe he has being carried here by the mailswan and it dropped him on the Everfree Forest!” Pinkie returned with a gasp and a worried expression.

“Okay one, there is no Mailswan. Two, he would have been tomato sauce if that was the case.” Dash explained after slapping her forehead with a hoof.

Pinkie gave a relieved sigh and went back to her usual self. Twilight however, found rather intriguing the way he acted, in a way he reminded her a bit of Rainbow Dash with a smaller ego.

“Oh yeah,” Pinkie spoke up again “I introduced DB to the crusaders, you’re welcome!” With that she wrapped her hooves close around her friends, one of them wasn’t too happy with the idea.

“I don’t know Pinks, I don’t want Scootaloo learning bad words from him nor I want to see her hurt.” The brash pegasus broke away from her friend’s embrace and stared worriedly at the kitchen door.

“Don’t worry your little head Dashie, he’s having fun with them!” Pinkie peeked through the kitchen doors soon after Dash joined her, the girls were dancing along with DB and the rest of the ponies. Sure, DB’s dancing reminded them of Twilight a lot, but the scene was so adorable that they couldn’t help but chuckle. Though that was short lived for Rainbow as she returned to her protective self.

“Okay, but if he hurts Scootaloo I’ll break him.” Rainbow clashed her hooves together before turning back and returning to the party.

“I didn’t expect to see Rainbow of all ponies being melodramatic.” Twilight walked past Pinkie who nodded in response and bounced following behind her.

“Did you had fun?” Fluttershy asked the young colt on their way back home.

“A little bit I guess.” He responded along with a yawn, his legs getting wobbly as he stubbornly kept walking. During the party he had gotten a little dizzy drinking too much punch and was just now starting to feel the effects of it.

They played some games of course, but he strangely found them way too childish even if he was a child himself, so he stayed out of them as much as he could. There was cake too, but it was way too sweet for his taste, so he had given his piece to another kid he didn’t knew.

It was now night and the cottage was coming into view, his shy guardian had given him glances with a smile and when he looked back at her he could swear that she would gaze back at the road with a massive blush, he couldn’t know for sure with his vision getting blurry. DB didn’t knew what was that about nor if what he saw was what it was, yet he did not wanted to know.

He had wondered about his parents and the life he could had before his memory loss. He imagined that his parents were loving, caring and kind of a pain in the ass at times without Fluttershy’s creepy parenting skills. He imagined coming to the rescue of his little sister whenever she would get picked on by one reason or another and hugging her when it’s done. He smiles at such thought, he’d like a little sister or a sister his age.

‘Certainly better than this.’ DB thought as Fluttershy opened the door and he followed her inside. Fluttershy turned the lights on and stared with a smile at DB.

“I have to go tuck the animals to sleep DB, can you-”

“Sleep on the couch? Yes please.” DB quickly cut her off as he passed by her and headed to the couch.

“Um, are you sure? Angel doesn’t like it when someone sleeps in there, you can sleep with me tonight.”

“Yes I’m sure, Angel’s cool, goodnight.” DB waved back as he got on the couch and pulled his hood over him before he was quickly overtaken by sleep.

Fluttershy took a blanket out of a nearby closet laid it on his sleeping form, smiling and giving him a kiss on his forehead. He looked so cute when he slept, specially with his long mane spread on the couch like that, it was incredibly attractive.

The living room fell silent save for some barely audible snores, it was just her and he, not to mention DB was asleep now. She looked at his lips in temptation, no one would know and it would be just an innocent kiss, it wouldn’t hurt anybody.

But she had duties to do, she figured that she would help him when he hits puberty after his parents find him, until then she had to do her best to not do anything of sort with him.

With that internal moral battle over she went to feed and tuck her critters, she had already found Angel Bunny asleep so all that was left was for herself to go rest as well. Her dreams were filled by such indecency and taboo that it would even make a Hydra run in fear, but they always made her smile and more.

“Why did you do this?! You broke your promise!”

“She’s not like that, it’s not something she would do.”

“You ponies sicken me, for you to do this is unforgivable!”

“Big brother? Where are you?”

“We can’t let them escape, after them!”

“I wasn’t always like this…”

“I thought you loved me…”

“N-no, wait! We can explain!”

“You don’t have to do this, what would she say if you do?”

“We are your friends, we will never abandon you, we will always be there for you.”

“BULLSHIT!!”

Thousands of voices and images are heard and seen, he could make some of what was being said, but it made as much sense as the rapidly passing by images. The voices died down and the images had stopped.

Some kind of laboratory came into view, ponies in white coats were exiting the lab and only one stayed in there. The pony kept looking at a capsule that was so foggy that whatever was in there is impossible to see.

The pony was really darkened, but by the shape of his muzzle it was safe to assume that it was a stallion. He seemed to look at the capsule in front of him with a scowl, there were other capsules besides the one in front of him, but they were impossible to see too.

The only thing about the capsule that could be seen was a bit of the label below it. It was the last thing that could be seen of this dream, the label read “-011.”
