I need a drink
From swimming to a nerd
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"Welcome to paradise." Seven said while walking towards his pool.
"Wow, this is nothing like the pools we have in Equestria." Cadence said in awe.
"Well what are we waiting for then." Steven asked while running towards the pool. "Cannon ball!"
"Cannon ball?" Cadence asked while watching Steven jump into the pool, making the water splash everywhere.
"Just something we Humans say when we jump into water." Jack said while walking towards the pool.
Cadence followed him. "Jack, are you sure nopony can see us?"
Jack smiled and gave her a reassuring pat on the back. "Almost everyone in the neighbour hood is on vacation, we're safe."
"Hey! Get your asses intimately this pool!" Steven shouted while getting out of the pool.
Steven came walking towards Jack and Cadence and spoke up.
"Hey, remember that game we always used to play when we were kids?" Steven asked.
"You mean the: Jump into the pool while screaming random things game?" Jack asked.
Steven smiled. "Yep, I'll go first!" Steven said while running towards the pool.
"Is he going to shout cannon ball again?" Cadence asked.
Jack shook his head. "Nope, the game is pretty simple: You have to jump into the pool, and while you do, you have to shout the weirdest thing that comes into mind."
"Oooh." Cadence said while watching Steven.
Steven jumped as high as he could.
"I believe I can fly!" Steven shouted before landing in the water.
Cadence giggled.
"Nice one dude!" Jack shouted while running towards the pool. "But I've got a better one!"
Jack jumped as high as he could.
"Mike Tyson bitch slap!" Jack shouted before landing in the pool.
"Alright, you win this one." Steven said while swimming towards the edge of the pool.
Cadence smiled and walked towards the pool. She held her hoof in the water, it was chilly but not too cold.
Cadence removed her royal regilia and got into the pool.
"This is amazing." Cadence mused while swimming towards Jack.
"Yeah, Steven is one lucky bastard." Jack said.
"Hey I heard that!" Steven shouted while swimming towards Jack.
"Oh here he goes again." Jack said while rolling his eyes.
"What do you mean?" Cadence asked confused.
"Well, every time Steven and I go for a swim, he always challenge's me for these stupid challenges." Jack replied.
"What kind of challenges?" Cadence asked.
Who can swim faster, who can hold his breath the longest, you know, the typical challenges."Jack replied.
Steven stopped swimming and looked Jack in the eyes.
"I challenge you, to see who can hold his breath the longest." Steven said while popping his knuckles.
"Alright then." Jack said while taking a deep breath.
"Three, two, one go!" Steven said while taking a deep breath.
Steven got underwater and closed his eyes.
"Jack?" Cadence asked.
"Yeah." Jack asked with a hint of glee.
"Why aren't you underwater?" Cadence asked confused.
Because I like to prank Steven and he likes to prank me back." Jack replied.
"Oooh." Cadence said. "But what are you going to do when he comes up?"
Jack smirked. "Don't worry I have a plan. Now come here and let me tell you what a genius plan I've come up with."
And so, Jack began to tell his 'genius' plan to the pink mare.
Two minutes had passed, Steven decided he couldn't hold his breath anymore and he reached for the surface.
"Fuck yeah, who's the man? I'm the man!" Steven shouted while doing a small victory dance.
"Go Steven, go Steven, go..... Jack why are you smirking?" Steven asked.
Jack said nothing and didn't stop smirking.
"You didn't go underwater, did you?" Steven asked sarcastically.
"Yep." Jack replied.
"So I just did all that shit for nothing." Steven said.
Jack nodded.
"And you." Steven said while pointing his index finger accusingly at Cadence. "Didn't think: "Oh, maybe I should tell him that Jack didn't go underwater."
Cadence gave him a cheeky smile. "All part of the plan."
"Wow, you're a bitch." Steven said sarcastically.
"And you're a dumbfuck." Cadence retorted.
Steven looked at Cadence with a shocked expression.
"Did she just insulted me back?" Steven asked Jack.
Jack smiled. "All part of the plan, you see I knew you were going to be angry at both of us and I knew you were either going to insult me or Cadence. So I told Cadence what she could say to insult you back."
Steven gave him a mischievous look.
"You know what she's gotten herself into right?" Steven asked.
Jack shook his head. "No."
"Well, when someone insults me, I insult them back." Steven said while pointing his finger at Cadence. "And if they don't respond, I stop insulting them, but if they insult me back." Steven said while rubbing his hands together. "They will know the full power of my darkside."
"Jack, did I do something wrong?" Cadence whispered.
"Yes and no, but I believe I'm going to have to teach you some new 'words'." Jack whispered back.
"Oh my." Cadence said.
"And I'll start by doing this!" Steven said while splashing water onto Jack and Cadence's faces.
"Aah!" They both exclaimed in union.
Steven quickly swam past them and got out of the pool, he quickly made his way over towards Cadence's royal regilia. He grabbed her crown and put it pneumonia his head.
"Peasants! He shouted with a very thick British accent. "Kneel before your fabulous King!"
Jack started to chuckle. "Nice crown King Dick!"
"What did you say peasant?!" Steven shouted, pretending to be insulted. "I will have your penis for that!"
"What?" Jack asked confused.
"I will have your head for that!" Steven corrected.
"Yeah right and how is a 'fabulous' King like yourself going to do that?" Jack asked sarcastically.
"I will destroy your home, fuck your wife and kill all that stand in my way!" Steven replied while walking towards the pool.
"Alright first: You won't destroy my home, because where else are you going to go to when your bored?" Jack asked.
"I will go to my twenty sex slaves." Steven replied.
"Family doesn't count." Jack said.
"Why you little-- well I will do something really bad." Steven said.
"Really?" Jack asked sarcastically, while swimming towards the right side of the pool.
"Yes, I will kill your mother and fuck your father." Steven said.
"Isn't it the other way around?" Jack asked.
"........ Goddammit." Steven said while lowering his shoulders.
"But what will the almighty King do when his peasants start a rebellion?" Jack asked while getting out of the pool.
"Then I will...... Oh I get it." Steven said while grabbing the crown from his head. "Peasant, come here and kneel."
Jack chuckled and kneeled in front of Steven.
"Peasant!" Steven shouted. "Since being a King sucks ass and I'm am getting bored, I hereby pronounce you King!" Steven said while putting the crown on Jack's head.
"Thank you." Jack said.
"Now rise King Asslicker." Steven said while giving him a bitch slap.
"Dude!" Jack exclaimed while falling on his back. "Not the face, not the face."
"And that is how you get someone to submit to you." Steven said while grabbing the crown. King super awesome motherfucing badass *deep inhale* has returned."
"Hahahaha!"
Steven looked towards the sound of the laughter and saw that Cadence was currently laughing like there was no tomorrow.
"T-That was t-the weirdest thing I have ever seen and I still thought it was funny." Cadence managed to say between laughs.
Steven grabbed the crown and put it back with Cadence's other royal regilia.
"I aim to please." Steven said while running towards the pool.
"Fuck the police!" Steven said while jumping in the pool.
Jack got up from the ground and smiled. 'This is good, Cadence isn't sad anymore and Steven sure is helping that stay so.'
"Hey! Jump you idiot!" Steven shouted.
"Yeah you asshole, jump!" Cadence said.
Jack opened his mouth to reply, but found out he couldn't. 'Did Cadence just call me an asshole?'
"Pssst Steven, did I say it right?" Cadence whispered.
Steven smiled. "Yep." He said while putting his arm around her neck. "You and I are gonna go along just fine."
Jack smiled at the scene and began to run.
"Steven is King of The Idiots!" Jack shouted while jumping in the pool, splashing water in Cadence and Steven's faces.
Steven wiped the water from his face. "Why must you pester me?"
Jack shook his head like a dog, splashing their faces with water again.
"Aaah, because of that." Steven said while crossing his arms.
"Does this always happen when the two of you go for a swim?" Cadence asked.
"Yep, when we go for a swim, walk, movie, it always ends up with us doing something so 'stupid'; that we're laughing our asses of in the end." Jack replied.
"Wow." Cadence said.
"You know." Steven said while holding his belly. "I could really go for a snack and--oh fuck me!" Steven shouted.
"What's wrong dude?" Jack asked.
"I forgot to do the groceries again." Steven replied while face palming.
"Seriously? You forgot again?" Jack asked sarcastically.
"Hey! I had a lot of stuff to do!" Steven replied.
"It's vacation, you have nothing to do." Jack said sarcastically.
"You're probably right, but!" Steven said while pointing his index finger at him. "You still owe me one."
"What?!" Jack exclaimed. "No I don't!"
"Yes you do, remember that test you forgot to study for and I gave you the answers?" Stev asked.
"You mean the test we both forgot to study for and you decided to steal the answers?" Jack asked sarcastically.
"Yep, you still owe me one." Steven said.
Jack sighed. "Alright, what do you want me to do?"
"I want you to do the groceries for me, my wallet is on the table; take some mony and get me my groceries." Steven replied.
"Is that it?" Jack asked.
"Yep, are you going to do it or not?" Steven asked.
"I'll do it, make sure nobody sees Cadence." Jack warned.
"You got it." Steven said while putting his arm around Cadence's neck. "I'll make sure Pinks stays safe."
Cadence huffed and poked Steven's side with her horn.
"Ouch." Steven said while rubbing the sore spot. "What you do that for?"
"Somepony would have done it anyway, so I thought why not." Cadence replied with a smile.
"Cadence, you are the first girl I've met that insulted me back or even hurt me and I like it." Steven said while patting her head.
"Thanks." Cadence said with a smile.
"If you two lovebirds are done, maybe then you can tell me what to get." Jack said.
"Some pizzas, snacks, coke and the other usual food." Steven replied.
Jack sighed and turned around. "I'll see you two in about an hour."
"You got it." Steven said while waving at him.
"And now." Steven said while turning towards Cadence. "Let's get swimming!"
Cadence giggled when Steven began to swim around her like some sort of predator.
"I'm going to get you Cadence and when I do, I'm going to eat you." Steven said.
Cadence giggled again. "Oh no." She said over dramatically.
"Prepare for your destruction!" Steven said grabbing her underneath her belly and lifting her up.
"H-Hey put me down." Cadence said between laughs.
"Nope!" Steven replied.
Cadence giggled again. "Will the almighty King put me down please?"
"..... Alright, but only because you asked politely." Steven said while putting her down in the water.
Cadence smiled. "You know, I do wonder why Jack agreed to do the groceries for you." Cadence said.
Steven smiled. "That's because we're best friends, best friends do those kind of things for each other."
"How long have the two of you been friends than?" Cadence asked curiously.
"Some would say too long, but I've known Jack my entire life, I see him more than just a friend, I see him as family." Steven said while wiping away a tear from his eye. "He's like a brother to me, a brother I.... Didn't lose."
Cadence gave Steven a compassionate look and put a wing around his shoulder. "You really miss him don't you?"
"Huh?" Steven asked confused.
"Your brother." Cadence said.
"Yeah, more than anything in the world." Steven replied.
"But, you have Jack now." Cadence said.
"You too." Steven added.
"W-What?!" Cadence said, a faint blush appearing on her muzzle.
"Cadence I might be an idiot, but when it comes to love, I know one or two things." Steven said.
"Well I am 'The Princess of Love'." Cadence replied.
"Maybe it's time I took that place and become: The Prince of Love." Steven said while grinning.
"I don't think auntie Celestia and Luna would like that." Cadence said.
"But we're getting of topic, I've seen the way you look at him, I've seen many of my classmates look at girls like that and the other way around." Steven said.
"What are you getting at?" Cadence asked nervously.
"I think you've grown feelings for Jack." Steven said.
"No I don't!" Cadence retorted.
"Denial." Steven mused.
"Shut up!" Cadence retorted.
"Anger." Steven mused.
"Will you please stop?" Cadence asked.
"Just answer the question." Steven said while looking her in the eyes. "Do you have feelings for Jack?"
Cadence bit her lip. "I might h-have grown fond of him, but that does not mean I like him!" Cadence said.
Steven chuckled. "Listen, I won't tell anyone, I'm not the kind of guy that tells someone's secret to another."
"If you're not going to tell it, why bother asking?" Cadence asked confused.
Steven gave her a cheeky smile. "I just wanted to see your reaction.*
Cadence huffed and poked Steven with her horn again.
"Ouch! Stop doi'n that." Steven said while rubbing his belly.
Cadence smiled at him. "Nope."
Wow, you heartless bitch. Steven said.
"You dumbfuck." Cadence retorted.
Steven smiled at her. "Cadence, you are one of the coolest girls I've ever met."
"You're one of the funniest aliens I've ever met." Cadence replied.
"You've met others?" Steven asked.
"Nope." Cadence replied.
"It's getting kind of boring, wanna go inside and grab something to eat?" Steven asked.
Cadence smiled. "I'd like that."
****
Steven and Cadence had gotten inside and decided they had swam enough for today, they dried themselves of and were now in his living room.
"What do you want?" Steven asked while opening his fridge.
"Do you perhaps have some more of that Coca Cola?" Cadence asked.
"Yep." Steven replied while grabbing the bottle of Cola. "He grabbed a glass and poured the Cola into the glass."
Steven walked towards his couch and set the glass on his table.
"Thank you." Cadence said while grabbing the glass with her magic.
"You known it still amazes me that you and the others can use magic." Steven said.
"I'm still amazed about many things from your world, you Humans are amazing!" Cadence said while taking a sip from her glass. "Yep, amazing." She mused.
Steven smiled. "What do you think about the planes?"
"Those big flying machines?" Cadence asked.
"Yes." Steven replied.
"They're amazing, well I haven't seen one up close but still." Cadence said.
Steven grabbed his remote control and turned on his Samsung TV.
"And of course the TV." Cadence added.
"Here, go ahead and watch something." Steven said while handing her the remote.
Cadence shook her head. "I don't really know what to watch."
Steven grabbed the remote. "But I know something we could listen to." Steven said while switching to a music channel.
Suddenly, four well dressed men men were on TV.
"Oh this band is amazing!" Steven said while turning up the volume..
"Really" Cadence asked.
"Yep." Steven replied.
A song started playing and Steven began to sing along.
So, whenever they'll say that all we had is bound to fall.
Oh, together we'll stay (when you get in our way, get in our way)
Strange, how everything seems to float in grey and drown in gold
Stay, and everything's save (when we're pulling our way, pulling our own way down)
I'll rise and guess where I will go
I'll rise and guess where I (go)
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling)
See, that everything caves in on our way to grander goals
Wait, and everything's save (when we let it all in, let it all in)
How, letting it rain, our own distress, our own mistakes
Wait, 'till everything breaks (when we're pulling our way, pulling our own way down)
I'll rise and guess where I will go
I'll rise and guess where I (go)
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling)
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling)
I'll rise and guess where I will go
I'll rise and guess where I will
I'll rise and guess where I will go
I'll rise and guess where I will
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling)
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling)
Where do we go when the streets are calling (calling, calling)
How do we know when we each stop falling (falling, falling, falling, falling)
"Aaaaaand that's Kensington for ya." Steven said while taking a sip from his coffee.
"Wow, I-I don't know what to say." Cadence said while taking a sip from her glass. "This is nothing like the music we have on Equestria."
"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Steven asked.
Cadence smiled. "Good."
Steven chuckled. "To think I'm talking to a magical alien pony, it's strange when you think about it."
"Yeah, if somepony would have told me "Hey aliens exist." I would have laughed in their face." Cadence added.
"But that point is proven wrong." Steven said while switching channels.
"Hey that's Star Wars." Cadence said.
"Yeah, forgot you liked that". Steven said while watching the episode. "This episode is pretty boring in my opinion, it's about politics and shit."
"You don't like politics?" Cadence asked surprised.
"Nope, I don't like 'em because they sit in their fancy houses, their maids doing their dirty work for them; while they sit in their chairs and smile at the camera." Steven replied.
"Does your planet have a King or Queen?" Cadence asked curiously.
"Well The Netherlands crowned a King just two years ago: King Willem Alexander." Steven replied. "He's a good guy, I haven't met him but he seems like a cool guy."
Cadence smiled. "You know, I'm happy I got to meet you and Jack, I haven't had good laugh like this in ages, not since......"
"Since what?" Steven asked.
Cadence sighed. "I was somepony's mare once."
"I'm sorry, what?" Steven asked confused.
"I was married." Cadence replied while holding back tears.
"Married huh?" Steven asked.
Cadence nodded.
"Divorced?" Steven asked.
Cadence nodded. "He cheated on me, to think our 'love' repelled an invasion." Cadence said with a hint of sarcasm. "Stupid right?" Cadence asked while bursting into tears.
"Oh sweet mother of Jesus, what do I do?!" Steven asked.
"Fuck her right in the pussy!" The devil on his shoulder said.
"No, comfort her and say it's going to be alright." The angel on his other shoulder retorted.
"No, make yourself trip and see if she laughs." The devil said.
"No, spill your coffee on your pants." The angel said.
"I'll do both!" Steven shouted while 'accidentally' kicking the table so his coffee would spill his pants.
"Aaaah!" Stev shouted while getting of from the couch and running towards the kitchen. But this time he actually tripped on accident.
"Shit!" Steven said while falling face-first on the ground.
"Nice job dude!" The devil said while flying in front of Steven.
"Yes, excellent job." The angel added.
"Get the fuck out!" Steven mentally shouted.
"Alright." The angel said while disappearing with a *poof*.
"You to Red." Steven mentally said.
"Sheesh, someone's on their period." The devil said while disappearing with a *poof*.
Steven got up from the ground and wiped his pants. "Worst idea ever." Steven said while turning around. "Hey Cadence I'm going to--."
"Hahahaha!" Cadence exclaimed while holding her belly form laughter.
"You think this funny?" Steven asked over dramatically, while pointing at his pants.
Cadence laughed even more. "Y-Yes, I think it's very funny." Cadence managed to reply between laughs.
Steven chuckled. 'My stupidity always cheers them up.' Steven thought while watching Cadence wiping away the tears from laughter and sadness.
"Listen, I'm going to get a fresh pair of pants and when I come back, there will be no more sadness." Steven said.
Cadence giggled and nodded.
Steven sighed and walked towards the exit of his living room.
'The shit I do for people..... And ponies.'
****
One hour later.......
*ding* *dong*
"Coming!" Steven shouted while running towards the front door.
"Who's there?" Steven asked.
"It's Jack, I got your groceries." Jack replied.
Steven opened the door and pulled Jack inside.
"Food!" Steven shouted while grabbing a pizza box from one of the bags.
Jack chuckled. "I wonder what your life would be like, if you were a vegetarian?"
"I wouldn't have a life, meat is the shit!" Steven replied while walking towards the door.
He opened the door and walked inside, revealing four Princesses inside Steven's living room.
"What the hell?" Jack asked while dropping the bags. "Why are you girls here?" Jack asked confused.
"We got bored and decided to go to Steven's house." Twilight replied.
"But, I was gone for an hour, how can you get bored in half an hour?" Jack asked.
Twilight shrugged. "I was getting bored and I already finished reading the final chapters from that book I was reading."
"And I was the one who suggested we'd check on Cadence." Celestia added while taking a bite from a chocolate chip cookie.
"Did you all go for a swim?" Jack asked.
"Nah, just me and Cadence." Steven replied while walking towards his kitchen, the groceries bags in his hands.
"Did you two did anything interesting while I was gone?" Jack asked curiously.
Cadence shook her head. "Not really, just talking and sharing a few laughs... Well mostly me sharing a few laughs."
"Ok." Jack said while walking towards Steven's couch and sitting down besides Luna.
"Sup Luna?" Jack asked.
"Oh hello Jack, how are you today?" Luna asked.
"I'm good, so what are we going to do now?" Jack asked no one particular.
"Well, I saw the Haegenens leave today, so that means the entire block is on vacation." Steven replied.
"Really, the entire block is empty?" Jack asked.
"Well." Steven said while walking towards his front door. He opened the door.
"FIRE! QUICKLY EVERYBODY GET OUT OF YOUR HOUSES!" Steven shouted.
Steven waited a couple seconds for a response but got none.
He smiled and walked back inside.
"Yep, everyone's gone." Steven said while patting Jack on his shoulder.
"Well, that means me and Steven could show you four the block, but we'll do it at night time, to make sure nobody can see us." Jack said.
"Oh yes yes yes yes yes yes!" Twilight said excitingly. "I get to see more of this world!"
"Wait, while it's nice of you to give us this little 'tour', I think it's still too risky." Celestia said.
"Risky! Pffft, risky my ass." Steven said while walking towards Celestia.
He grabbed Celestia by her front hooves and gently pulled her off the couch. "Don't tell me you don't want to see more of that." Steven said while turning her head towards the window.
Celestia watched the view in front of her, Jack's house was right across the street, in the far distance she could see a forest and behind the forest the flaming orb of fire, an orb she raises everyday: The Sun.
Celestia smiled. "Alright Steven, but only because you asked so 'politely'."
"I aim to please." Steven said while giving her a pat on the back.
Celestia chuckled.
"What's so funny?" Steven asked.
"Oh nothing, it's just that; if you would have touched me without any permission if we were on Equestria, you would have been thrown into the dungeons." Celestia replied.
"Really?" Steven asked.
Celestia nodded. "Probably."
"Wow, that's a little rough don't you think?" Steven asked.
"'Tis the least of our worries." Luna said while teleporting in front of Steven.
Steven stood there, he crossed his arms and gave her a sarcastic smile. "Was that supposed to scare me" He asked sarcastically.
Luna pouted. "Thought I had you there, well better luck next time."
Steven smiled and patted Luna on her head.
"Would you please stop doing that?" Luna asked with a hint of annoyance.
"What?" Steven asked while patting her on the head. "This?" He asked mockingly.
"That's it!" Luna shouted while tackling Steven to the ground.
"Whoa!" Steven exclaimed while falling on his back. "We've got a badass over here!"
Luna smirked and her horn started go glow.
"Are you a ticklish person?" Luna asked.
Steven smirked. "Go ahead and try."
"I will." Luna said.
Within seconds, Steven was covered in a blue aura, Luna laughed.
"Ha! I have you now!" Luna said while smirking.
"Luna, you might want to--."
"Silence Jack, do not distract me from my-- why is Steven not crying from my ticklish powers?" Luna asked.
"That's simple." Steven said while wrapping his arms around Luna's back. "I'm not a ticklish person."
"What are--."
Luna was cut off when Steven rolled around, pinning her down instead of the other way around.
"Luna?" Steven asked with a low voice. "Are you a ticklish pony?"
Luna's eyes widened. "No, anything but-- hahahahaha!"
Luna was cut of again when Steven started to tickle her sides, his fingers digging into her soft furr.
"Stop, I order you!" Luna said between laughs.
"What's the magic word?" Steven asked mockingly.
"Stop i-it." Luna said between laughs.
"Nope, that's not the magic word." Steven said while continuing his ticklish rampage.
"Stop it please?!" Luna pleaded.
Steven smiled. "Not the magic word, but I'll take it." Steven said while getting of her.
Steven held his hand out, Luna put her hoof in his palm and he pulled her up.
"Remember, don't fuck with Steven." Steven saidwhile patting her on her head again.
Luna regained her composure. "Perhaps, but you need to know that I did not approve you tickling me."
Steven gave her a toothy smile. "I'll try to remember that Lulu."
"What did you call me?" Luna asked. 'How does he know my nickname?'
"Lulu, it's your new nickname, I've also got one for Twilight, Celestia and Cadence." Steven replied.
"Really?" Luna asked. "Like what?"
"Well for Twilight I have: Purple, for Celestia I have: Sunny and Cadence I'm naming: Pinks." Steven replied.
"Sunny." Celestia repeated. "That... Sounds rather appealing."
"Pinks, very creative Steven." Cadence said sarcastically.
"Purple is not my furr's color, its lavender." Twilight said.
"Same thing." Steven said.
"What about me?" Jack asked.
"Sorry, can't come up with something for you at the moment." Steven replied while sitting down on his couch. "But since we're in my house, how about we do something to pass the time?"
"Hmmm, maybe we could go for another swim?" Jack suggested.
"Nah, I'm done swimming, I still need to-- oh fuck me sideways answer call me Brenda!" Steven shouted.
"What's wrong dude?" Jack asked.
"I was supposed to meet up with Dylan today." Steven replied.
"Dylan, you mean Dylan the class nerd?" Jack asked.
"Yes!" Steven said.
"Why? Don't you hate him?" Jack asked confused.
"Yeah, but I decided to be nice to him and tell him he could come over to my house today." Steven replied.
"Shit! What time?" Jack asked.
*knock* *knock*
"About now." Steven replied.
"Crap, alright girls go upstairs while we try to distract him." Jack said.
"Distract him, I'll just tell him to fuck of." Steven said.
"No, Dylan might be a nerd, but he still has feelings, I'll tell him to go away." Jack said.
"Alright, girls follow me, we'll hide in mg room until he goes away." Steven said.
"Why not stay here?" Celestia asked confused. "I mean he's not going to enter the house."
"Well, Dylan always enters someone's house, it's like a tick he has." Steven replied.
"And if he sees you, we're fucked." Jack said while opening the door that led to Steven's front door. Just go with Steven and don't make any noise.
The Princesses nodded.
"Quickly, follow me." Steven said while walking upstairs.
The Princesses followed him and followed him.
Jack sighed and walked to the front door.
'Here goes nothing.' Jack thought while opening the door.
(The talks between Jack and Dylan are translated from Dutch to English.)
Oh? Hi Jack! Dylan said.
"Hi Dylan how-- Dylan, what happened to your eye?" Jack asked concerned.
Dylan sighed. "Is it that obvious?"
"Yeah, looks pretty nasty, who gave you that black eye? Jack asked.
Dylan sighed. "You know who."
*Jake?" Jack asked.
Dylan nodded. "I was walking home yesterday, when all of a sudden Jake came up to me and started calling me names."
"What did he say this time?" Jack asked.
"The usual, nerd, fag, dumbfuck, fatherless idiot things." Dylan replied.
"He said that about your father?" Jack asked shocked.
"Yep, lucky me huh?" Dylan asked.
"Goddammit, even when it's vacation this guy still bullies you." Jack said while clenching his fists.
"But that's not the worst part, he stared talking shit about my mom, telling me she was a whore and that she probably fucked with every guy in the block." Dylan said.
"But why did he give you the black eye?" Jack asked.
"I told him he would never achieve anything in life and that his dream of becoming a vet would crumble." Dylan replied while touching his black eye. "And that's when he gave me the black eye.
Jack sighed. "Listen, Steven is not feeling well, I've taken care of him but he can't come down and do whatever the two of you agreed to do."
Dylan gave a sad sigh. "That was to be expected, I mean who would want to hang out with a nerd like me?"
Jack felt a numb in his stomach, he couldn't help but to feel really sad about all this. Sure Dylan was kind of a 'know it all' and a nerd, but that doesn't mean he should be treated this way.
"What exactly were you and Steven going to do?" Jack asked.
"We were going to the forest and see if we could spot some wild animals, but since he's sick, I've gotta go alone." Dylan replied while turning around. See you in school Jack. Dylan said while slowly waving at him.
Jack mentally scolded himself for doing this. "I said Steven was sick." Jack said while putting a hand on Dylan's shoulder. "I'm not."
Dylan turned around and beamed with happiness. "You mean you?"
"Yes, but only for a couple of hours, I still have other stuff to attend to." Jack replied.
"Oh thanks so much Jack, this means a lot to me." Dylan said.
Jack smiled and closed the door behind him. "Let me sent Steven a message just in case."
Jack began typing on his phone, after thirty seconds he was done.
"Alright, let's go get my car and then we can go." Jack said.
"Yeah, Steven and I agreed to go walking." Dylan admitted.
Jack mentally groaned. "Alright, let's.... Go." Jack said between gritted teeth.
Inside Steven's room were four Princesses, four Princesses who were eying his room curiously.
"Your room is rather different than Jack's." Luna said.
"Yeah, it smells weird in here." Twilight said.
*brrrrrr*
"Huh?" Steven said while grabbing his I-phone. "It's a message from Jack."
"Really? What does it say?" Luna asked curiously.
Thanks for not letting me know you were going to the forest with him!
Now because Jake the asshole, gave him a black eye, I decided to go with him.
You owe me on this one asshole.
God have mercy upon my soul.
"And? What does it say?" Luna asked curiously.
"It looks like Jack will be gone for a few hours." Steven replied while opening his bedroom door. "And I kinda want to go for a swim again."
"Didn’t you just say you were done swimming?" Cadence asked.
"Yep, let’s go." Steven said.
Cadence shook her head.
"He’s like Pinkie Pie, only a Human version." Twilight remarked.
"Is that a good or a bad thing?" Cadence asked.
Twilight shrugged. "I don’t know but I hope it’s a good thing."
"Hey, move your lazy asses!" Steven shouted from downstairs.
Twilight sighed. "We’re coming!"
****
"Thanks for doing this Jack, it means a lot." Dylan said while stepping over a tree branch.
"You're welcome Dylan, but please don’t make me do this again." Jack replied.
"If you want to go home, I won’t stop you." Dylan said while walking besides Jack.
"It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just that I expected you to do something a little more--."
"Nerdy?" Dylan asked.
"Well I didn’t really--."
"I know everyone thinks I’m a nerd, just because I get good grades." Dylan said while lowering his head.
Jack wanted to reply, but Dylan cut him off.
"But I’ve been bullied my entire life, that’s just the way it was meant to be I guess." Dylan said.
"Listen Dylan, I--."
"I’ve been bullied, punched in the face, kicked in the stomach, hell I even got stabbed once." Dylan said while looking at the sky. "It’s a pretty sight, the sky, its magnificent blue colors, its white clouds." Dylan said while giving a sad sigh. "Tomorrow’s the day I lost my dad exactly seventeen years ago."
Jack gave him a sad look.
"I don’t really remember a lot about him, just the fun times we used to have, but I guess my life was supposed to be a total disaster." Dylan said while lowering his head.
"Listen Dylan, I--."
"Don’t say that, don’t say "you’re sorry", because you’re not." Dylan cut him off. "Everybody said that to me when my dad passed away, but that was just a shell, deep inside, they didn’t really care. Even the kids in my high school class didn’t care."
Dylan lowered his head. "Some days, I feel everything at once. Other days, I feel nothing at all. I don´t know what´s worse, drowning beneath the waves, or dying from the thirst."
"Dylan you--."
"I have no friends, all I've got are my stupid books and my mom…. My mom is the only thing that keeps me going, I love her with all my heart, I want to make her proud, I want her to see that I can and will become the best vet ever." Dylan cut him off.
"But why not try talking to the people in class, you always sit at the front of the classroom, you never talk to anyone, you just read books and--."
"Don’t you think I tried, I always say "hi" to the people I see from class, the only thing I get in response are snorts of disapproval." Dylan cut him off. "Jack, I know Steven isn’t really sick, he…. Probably didn’t want to hang out with me because it would ruin his reputation."
"No he--."
"And you have to know that I don’t blame him, I am and always will be a: Friendless, worthless…. Nerd."
'Fuck dude, Dylan's got it rough.' Jack thought.
"But that's how I've been living my entire life." Dylan said while kicking away a rock that was in his path. "I guess I was meant to--."
"Dylan shut up!" Jack shouted.
"Wha?" Dylan asked shocked.
"You are not worthless, but if you keep talking shit about yourself, you are going to end up with no friends!" Jack said.
"Why would you care? Why would anyone care?!" Dylan shouted.
"Dylan, just because people say those things to you, doesn’t mean they are true." Jack said while calming down from his sudden outburst.
"Listen, if you ever feel lonely or want to hang out…. Just give me a call and we could do something together." Jack said with a kind smile.
Dylan rubbed his temples and sighed. "Are you serious?" Dylan asked.
"Yes I am." Jack replied while putting a hand on Dylan’s shoulder. "Now let’s go find some animals."
Dylan smiled at him and nodded.
They both turned around and walked through the forest.
Dylan looked up at the sky. "Dad, I think I finally made a friend after all these years, I hope you’re proud of me." Dylan whispered while shedding a single tear.
"Jack I need to tell you something." Dylan said.
"What is it?" Jack asked.
"Promise, me you won’t tell anyone, I am putting my full trust in you." Dylan said.
"I won’t." Jack replied reassuringly.
Dylan inhaled deeply and spoke up.
"I’m a bipolar manic, (Schizoaffective disorder if you want too get fancy). I need medicine to add dopamine to my brain or else I go into a mental overdrive. My first and only psychosis outbreak happened one year ago. It was scary and enlightening at the same time."
"I gained access to my mind, re-formatted my thoughts so well that I no longer slip into depression or even get anxiety attacks. I’ve suffered from depression and anxiety attacks for more than a decade. So something good came out of something bad. As long as I take one small dose each day, I’m perfectly "normal". "
Jack stood there, processing what Dylan had just told him.
"S-So basically you were depressed?" Jack asked shocked.
Dylan nodded. "Yeah, I tried committing suicide twice."
"Why are you telling me this?" Jack asked shocked and surprised.
"Because you are the only one (well plus Steven) who doesn’t bully me in class, hell; you even stood up for me that one time when Jake and his friends started picking on me again." Dylan replied.
"Dylan, I-I don’t know what to say." Jack said.
Dylan lowered his head. "I should have kept my mouth shut, shouldn’t I?"
"When did you--."
"They diagnosed me with Schizoaffective disorder; two months after my dad passed away." Dylan cut him off.
"Shit." Jack said.
"Yeah, it’s shit alright." Dylan added.
"And the constant bullying in school--."
"Only made it worse." Dylan said, finishing Jack’s sentence.
"Fuck dude." Jack said.
"Listen, it’s become a part of my life and I’ve been trying to live with it ever so." Dylan said with a small smile. "You know, I promised my dad I would make friends when I would go to high school, guess I didn’t keep that promise."
Jack put a hand on Dylan’s shoulder. "Listen, if you ever feel lonely or need help, feel free to knock at my door any time."
Dylan smiled and scratched his nose. "Thanks."
"Hey one thing. *Jack said.
"What?" Dylan asked.
"Are you wearing contacts?" Jack asked.
"Yep, decided I’d try something else than my usual glasses." Dylan replied.
"Niceeee." Jack said.
Dylan chuckled. "Thanks Jack, for everything."
"Your welcome." Jack replied.
Jack looked at the sky and saw a Pigeon fly towards a tree.
"Bird!" Jack shouted while running towards the tree.
"Hey!" Dylan said while running after him. "I’m not as fast and athletic as you are!"
Jack smiled. "Maybe Dylan isn’t as bad as I thought, he’s had it rough, just like me and Steven."
****
Two hours later……….
"That was fun." Dylan said.
"Yeah, we saw a lot of animals." Jack added.
'I hope Steven doesn’t kick me in the nuts for this.' Jack thought while crossing the street.
"Jack, uhm this might sound really gay but, could you walk me home?" Dylan asked.
"Ha gaaaaaay!" Echoed in Jack’s mind. "Why?"Jack asked.
"I’m scared Jake will come up to me and give me another beating." Dylan replied.
Jack smiled. "Alright you big baby, let’s go."
Dylan smiled and walked after Jack. 'Dad, I think I made a friend.'
The walk to Dylan’s house was a short one, Dylan lived about four hundred meters away from Jack, so the walk wasn’t too bad.
During the walk, they talked about what they were going to do in their vacation, Jack was surprised to hear that Dylan was going on holiday with his mom.
After a few more minutes of walking, they reached Dylan’s house.
"Alright, this is where we say goodbye I guess." Dylan said while holding his hand out.
Jack smiled. "Dylan make a fist."
Dylan gave him a confused look but did what he what told.
Jack bumped his fist with his and smiled. "We’re friends, we don’t do handshakes, we do bro fists."
Dylan gave him the biggest smile he had ever seen. "Thanks!"
Jack chuckled and gave him a piece of paper. "Here." Jack said while handing him the piece of paper. "It’s my number, you can send me an App or call me, if you ever feel like meeting up again."
Dylan took the paper from his hand and smiled. "Thanks so much Jack."
Jack gave him a two fingered salute and turned around. "Anything for a friend."
And with that, Jack turned around and walked away.
Dylan unlocked his door and walked inside.
"Mom, you won’t believe what happened today."
(Stop music)
****
As Jack walked towards Steven’s house, he began thinking about everything that had happened the past days.Firts: The Princesses, second: Making a new friend, his life had made a drastic change.
"And I like it." Jack said while knocking on Steven’s door.
"Who’s there?" He heard Steven ask.
"It’s Jack." Jack replied.
The door opened and revealed a very pissed Steven.
"Hi!" Jack beamed with fake happiness.
"Dude you won’t believe what happened." Steven said while grabbing Jack by his collar.
"Whoa dude." Jack said while grabbing the doorknob and closing the door. "What’s wrong?"
"This is what’s wrong!" Steven said while pointing at four drunk Princesses.
"Hiya Shack, how awe shou doing?" Cadence asked while trying to walk over to him.
"What the fuck." Jack said.
"Hello Jack." Celestia said while putting her hooves around his neck. "*sniff* you smell nice." Celestia said while licking his cheek.
"What the fuck." Jack repeated.
"If you think that’s bad." Steven said while pointing at Celestia. "You won’t believe what Luna and Twilight tried to do me."
"What?" Jack asked.
"They tried to drown me, because they forgot who I was." Steven replied while shuddering. "I got them to calm down, but it was hard.
"Why are they drunk?" Jack asked.
Steven shrugged. "I gave them a Captain Morgan, apparently they can’t handle alcohol very well."
"Jack." Celestia said with a seductive tone. "How about you and I have some fun?" She asked while licking his cheek.
"Damnit Steven!"
