Dead in civilization

"Dead you're being unreasonable." Ditzy sighed. "I don't think you should leave just because there is nothing to do. I'm sure if you looked hard enough you will find something to do." Ditzy gently bumped Dead causing her to nearly fall over.

"I'm not saying I am leaving, but I want to do some research. And I doubt I can do that in your house." Dead huffed. "I'm not saying I won't come back."

"But you have been away so much, I don't want to lose you..." Ditzy stopped walking as the pair approached the edge of Everfree. "Please don't go..."

Dead sighed. "Alright, but can I at least bring some research in?"

"Yeah! I don't mind if you totally trash the house doing so!" Ditzy chuckled. "But sure, I don't mind."

"I hate it when you make me feel guilty..." Dead pouted. "I fall for it every time."

"Not my fault you have a heart, anyway before you trash the house doing some forbidden ritual could we go see Rarity and Rainbow?" Ditzy said as her and Dead started to walk away.

"Wait they got back? When did this happen? Why did nopony tell me!?" Dead exclaimed.

"Oh yeah, they got back late last night. I would have told you but you were sleeping so soundly." Ditzy sighed happily. "And you look so cute when you are asleep."

"I'm not supposed to be cute Ditzy, I'm a necromancer." Dead sighed as she followed Ditzy. "If I was cute nopony would run in terror when I appear!" Dead joked. "But why not tell me in the morning?"

"I'm not going to lie, I completely forgot... I know it was stupid, but I was in a rush on account of running late." Ditzy sighed. "Will I ever be able to make it up to you?"

"Maybe... I just have to think of something..." Dead said evilly.

"I don't know weather to be worried or not..." Ditzy said nervously.

Last night...

Rarity and Rainbow silently knocked on the door to Ditzy's house, it was late at night and loud snoring could be heard from the house.

"Come on Rarity, face it. They are both asleep. Now its getting cold and I'm tired." Rainbow sighed. "Can't we just tell Ditzy when she is out on her rounds?"

"Rainbow, we need to do this now. We can't really let it dwell any longer." Rarity sighed as she knocked slightly louder. "Dead is a heavy sleeper, she doesn't normally wake up to early." Rarity was about to knock a third time however the door slowly creaked open.

"Uh?" Ditzy groaned as she slowly opened the door, she stood for a moment until her eyes adjusted to the darkness. "Oh Rainbow and Rarity! Its lovely to see you back!" Ditzy said happily. "But did you have to come knocking so early?"

"Sorry darling, but we couldn't really wait." Rarity said apologetically. "I trust Dead hasn't found out anything yet?"

"No she hasn't. I don't think she even remembers to be honest... She hasn't mentioned anything to me." Ditzy sighed. "So I take it everything went well in the Crystal Empire?"

"Yeah, if by well you mean we got to watch Dead beat the stuffing out of a massive lich then yeah, it went well. Plus we got Cadance and the other necromancers to agree to come." Rainbow happily.

"That's good to hear, so do we have the decorations?" Ditzy asked.

"Of course!"

"And the party food?"

"Pinkie is cooking it as we speak!"

"And the guests?"

"Only everpony in Ponyville who isn't scared of her!"

"So, everything is set up?"

"Nearly, we will set it up tomorrow night. Now did you have anything you wanted to tell us about? Anything happen while we were gone?" Rarity politely asked.

"Oh yeah, something did happened. Can I as you two a quick question?" Ditzy asked as she started to think about her next words.

"Yeah, sure thing. Ask away." Rainbow insisted.

"Well remember when we all go together when Dead was asleep and talked about other ponies?" Ditzy started.

"Yes..." Rarity shakily said.

"Well you see..."

"Alright Ditzy, tell me who it is." Rainbow said sternly. "I would rather not go through all this build up."

Ditzy chuckled. "I could tell you now... But where would be the fun in that? I think it would be best if you guessed."

Rainbow facehoofed. "Really? At this time of night?" Rainbow sighed. "Alright, can we have a hint?"

"Nope!" Ditzy cheekily said.

"Hm, got any ideas Rarity?" Rainbow asked Rarity

"Can't say I do Rainbow." Rarity turned to Ditzy. "I take it that they live in Ponyville?"

"Yes she does, but that is all I am saying." Ditzy happily cheered. "Come on you two, its not that hard."

"Hmm, is it Cloudchaser?" Rainbow asked. "Would be nice for another pegasus in the group."

"Sadly no Rainbow, it isn't." Ditzy said evilly. "Keep guessing."

"Hm..." Rarity started. "You know I think I might just know who it is." Rarity smirked. "Is it by any chance, Miss Cherilee?"

"Yep!" Ditzy said happily. "So what do you two say about it?"

"Dating my little sister school teacher? How scandalous, I'm in." Rarity said unexpectedly.

"Well even if I was going to say no, I guess I don't have a choice. But yeah, I'm happy for this. Happy for us! What kind of crazy sex we will have now?" Rainbow said as Rarity's jaw dropped.

"Yeah they came over last night, it was really, really late. I told them about Cherilee and they seemed happy, albeit a bit shocked after what Rainbow said." Ditzy chuckled happily as the two approached Carousal Boutique .

"I can imagine that Rainbow would say something like that, either that or she started talking about how awesome she is..." Dead sighed. As the pair approached the door Rarity swung the door open and greeted the pair.

"Hey my two lovely friends, what brings you over at this time?" Rarity asked happily.

"Ask Ditzy, I don't have a clue what I am doing." Dead chuckled.

"Well I thought it might be a good idea if we all go out as a group. Me, Dead, you, Rainbow and Cherilee. All five of us!" Ditzy sang out happily.

"I think I can do that, just let me pack up in the shop first." Rarity said as she went back inside the shop. Loud clanging and the sounds of items falling could be heard before Rarity emerged. "I can deal with that later..." Rarity chuckled as she joined Ditzy and Dead. "So I take it we are heading to Rainbow's house now?"

"Yup!" Ditzy said as the trio made their way to Rainbow's house. After a few minuets of walking the trio ended up under Rainbow's floating cloud house. Ditzy posed to take off however she promptly stopped by Rarity.

"Hang on darling, I got this." Rarity chuckled as she levitated a rock and threw it at the cloud. The rock flew slowly towards the cloud house and after a few seconds.

Donk!

"Hey! Who threw that rock?" Rainbow shouted as she quickly flew out the house. Rainbows expression turn from angry to happy once she saw the trio. "Oh hey you three, what brings you out at this time?"

"Mare's day out, you in Rainbow?" Ditzy called out as Rainbow slowly started to descend to the floor.

"Did you even need to ask?" Rainbow confidently said as she landed next to Ditzy. "So I take it we are going to go pick up Cherilee now?

"Yup! Lets go!" Ditzy said as the small group made their way to the outskirts of the town.

It was a slightly longer journey to Miss Cherilee's house, however the group had plenty to talk about on their way down.

"...And then the skeleton said he didn't know who's bone to pick!" Dead laughed and the group joined in. "Honestly sometimes the skeletons can be really silly. I mean they do lack brains and all but the ancient magic that keeps them running should do the trick."

"What about Skullworthy? I mean he is different isn't he?" Rarity inquired.

"Yes, I have enchanted him in several ways. He is about ten times smarter then normal, and he is mighty logical. He helped to keep me relatively sane... Or he did before I moved in." Dead chuckled.

"How were you able to do that exactly? It sounds rather complex." Rarity continued.

"Its just a ton of enchantments, nothing to complex... But if it goes wrong, it goes really wrong." Dead cringed. "I still have nightmares about skulutron every now and then."

"I thought you dreamed differently? Compared to other ponies anyway..." Rainbow said as she joined in.

"Yeah, but nightmares can still manifest." Dead sighed.

"I guess that make sense, by the way before I forget. Why didn't you say hi after you beat that lich?" Rainbow asked with a mock anger.

"That wasn't me. That was Skullworthy." Dead chuckled. "I was not controlling him. Just sitting on his head."

"Wow really? I never thought Skullworthy would do something so violent." Rarity exclaimed slightly.

"Yeah, when defending the world he can be rather violent. He really, really enjoys pounding skeletons to dust." Dead laughed. "That's why he is a skull. So he doesn't go pounding skeletons."

"Really?" Rarity exclaimed.

"Not really, I just gave him a chance to be the hero." Dead chuckled.

"Well that was nice of you Dead, very considerate of you." Rarity said shakily. Just as a silence started to set over the group they arrived at school teachers house. "So this is it then?"

"Yup!" Ditzy cheered. "Care to do the honers Dead?"

Dead nodded and knocked on the door, a sing-song voice happily called out. "Coming!" Within a few moments Miss Cherilee opened the door. Within a few more moments she pieced together what the group being there meant. "Oh wow..." Miss Cherilee slurred before she fainted and crashed into Dead, who caught her in her hoofs.

"Great, she did a Rainbow Dash." Dead rolled her eyes. "Do we take her back inside?"

"Wait she did a me?" Rainbow asked. "What do you mean by that?"

"She passed out when she became aware of what I/we were after/meant." Dead chuckled.

"I didn't pass out... I fell asleep!" Rainbow responded.

"On my back?" Dead questioned.

"Uh yeah... You were warm and I was on top. So I'm not complaining." Rainbow said smugly.

"Settle down you two, lets get Miss Cherilee on a sofa. Then you two can go back to bickering like foals..." Rarity said as she rolled her eyes. The group then took the passed out mare into the house and set her out onto the sofa.
