Chapter 5

“You’re kidding me.” Matt looked in discomfort at the address that Twilight had written down on a scroll.

“No, I’m completely sure this is the place.” Spike had his eyes glued at the location they had arrived in.

The location was nothing short of a typical rich residence located as the only distinguishable landmark in this plain field. Now being more properly clothed on his upper body with an old brown colored curtain belonging to Twilight, Matt urged the young dragon to go ahead of him to the mansion. He followed him after receiving a nod in return, walking past the hedge mazes, statues, fountains and a lot of other expensive stuff laid all around in the courtyard.

Joining up his companion, who was ringing the bell, Matt didn’t had to wait long for the stallion of the household to open the door. Just looking at his moneybag cutie mark was enough to make the human wince for a split second.

“Oh you’re here,” The stallion greeted them politely to Matt’s surprise “You’re the ones from the letter yesterday.” Letter? Figures Starbutt would tell him in advance that they were coming, and to think this was just the first task.

“Yup, we come from behalf of Princess Celestia’s star pupil.” Matt groaned internally at the remark, noticing that the stallion rolling his eyes shortly after hearing that.

“Yes, I was informed of that too. You came here to babysit my daughter.”

“Of course Mister Rich.”

The stallion nodded and lead them over to the living room despite the hints of doubt apparent on his face. The sofa looks expensive and there didn’t seem to be much as the red carpet along with other relics that the human didn’t gave the slightest bit of care to look at them for more than a second.

Something unusual, to him at least, was that there is a plasma television in there. It seems that this town was a bit old fashioned, which made sense seeing as Ponyville itself is situated in the countryside.

Sitting both of them in the sofa, Rich took a seat on chair nearby. The stallion seems hesitant to speak his mind while Spike looked worried and fidgeted for a moment.

“So, um…” Rich started before taking another second to continue “My daughter is a… special case. I have hired a lot of babysitters before, even babysitters from overseas. But none of them were able to handle her and didn’t took long for them to quit.” Spike grew visibly scared, but Matt remained unfazed even after thee revelation of this Z-class troublemaker kid “I have no idea how you intend to do it, but I would appreciate it if you would be able to do this.”

“Consider it done, but I would like some formal clothes made for me as payment.” Matt replied, breaking Spike out of whatever train of thought he had and earning a relieved sigh from Mr. Rich.

“Thank Celestia, I’ll be running errands and I’ll be back around midday. There’s a few notes for you two on the fridge on what needs to be done and what to cook. I’ll be seeing you until then.” He got up and went out the door almost too quick for a normal trot, Matt could even swear he hear faint cheering from outside.

While Spike stood there staring at the door like a dumbfuck, his companion felt something brushing on his legs. Looking down he saw the pink menace pacing around him as if she was a shark, the accessory on her head giving a clear giveaway to who she was.

“Wow,” Diamond stopped to look up to meet his eyes with a devious smirk despite how tall he was for him “I didn’t realize that I would get a pet monkey as ugly as this, daddy gets me some weird and useless stuff at times.”

Her voice draws Spike’s attention to her, however the young human remains unaffected by her remarks and stared back at her blankly as she kept talking. In little to no time, he knelt down holding and pulling harshly one of her ears with his index finger and thumb. Diamond flailed and screamed in his grasp, unable to escape no matter how much he tried.

“Whoa dude, put her down!” Spike pleaded him, but he was ignored as Matt leaned to her ear.

“Alright cunt face, this is how it’s gonna go down in here.” He said firmly and coldly, shocking the spoiled filly at how he used such language and force that not even babysitters from Saddle Arabia, who were more strict than the ponies from different cities, used on her “Your father had put me in charge of babysitting you until he came back at midday. I’ve also been told of all the other babysitters you drove insane, but I don’t tolerate your little silver tongue shit when I am here.”

She wanted to say something back to him, anything to put this monkey and the lizard in their place. But something told him to keep quiet or something worse will happen to her, might be the ear he’s pulling that is making her whimper.

“There is only one rule as long as I’m here, one simple little rule that you must remember even if I do not ever come back, and it’s this.” His eyes slowly trailed to meet hers, glaring at the filly with a fury that can be compared to Tartarus itself as his voice now sounds like he’s about to lose his mind “Do not ever…” He pauses between the sentences as he finishes it subtle scowl “Fuck with me…”

He let go of her ear, landing on her rump as the little dragon remained frozen to what just happened. Diamond let the tears flow unable to hold them back any longer. Little did she know that there was a smell that reached both human and dragon, that and the carpet she sat upon suddenly start to feel humid.

“Well, somebody made a mess here.” Matt spoke up again with a sudden, and disturbing, cheerfulness accompanied by a big grin “Little miss cunt face needs a bath, I’ll go help with that.” He scooped her up in his arms, the filly didn’t bother to struggle as she sobbed on her hooves.

“Spike,” He called to the little dragon who stared at him despite being overwhelmed by fear, wondering about his sudden mood swings “I’m going to clean her up, can you be a bro and take care of the carpet in the meantime?” Spike nodded at him slowly in response as the young human returned with a smile with his eyes closed “Good, also check on that chore list if you have time. I’m not gonna have you do them all by yourself.”

He left without another word with Diamond in his arms, Spike now deep down feeling sorry for being stuck with him. He heard a lot of mean stuff that the spoiled filly had done and said, but he feared that he’d do something far worse than she ever did. Or maybe not, that’s a possibility as well.

He would have to tell this to Twilight later, for now there was work to be done. Hopefully nothing will make Matt angry during his time in Ponyville.

Or anyone...

Author's Note

Fun fact, there's only three or so chapters left of this story, not counting the alternate ending. Also, I would like to get a sequel from the main ending, the alternate one won't have one since the sequel idea for that one is dumber, to me at least.

Anywho, let's see what other crap I come up with and if I take another 6 months to write it.
