Riot Gunner's backstory

Riot was walking through town, he had a smile on his face, he was on his way to Derpy's house. Riot was asked to watch Dinky while Derpy was on delivering mail to the gryphon empire, a special assignment given to her by Princess Celestia.

"Hello there Riot, you look really happy." Mr. Cake said as Riot was passing by, he looked at him.

"Yea, i'm on my way to Derpy's place" he said back, then he looked around "have you seen her today by any chance?" He asked, Mr. Cake had a grin on his face, Riot gave him a confused look.

"Oooh, yea i have, she passed by an hour ago" he said, the same grin on his face, Riot was about to walk off before "did you finally ask her on a date?" He asked, his grin growing a little bigger. Riot's face grew a deep crimson color.

"N-no!" He quickly said back, Mr. Cake started laughing, and laughing, and laughing. "Well, uh, thanks, bye bye!" He said before walking away, his face still red. He managed to stop blushing after walking for ten more minutes, he silently cursed to himself.

He stopped when he felt a breeze to his right, be looked over, an alley way was sitting there. He just stared, his eyes grew wide, and he started hearing noises, a loud and sad 'NO' was heard in his mind. He turned his head a tear in his eye.

Twilight was watching him from her telescope, she held it firm in her grip. "Why did he stop there?" She asked herself, she had been spying on him for a while, she knew something was bothering him, and it seemed to be getting worse.

She watched as he started walking away, she lowered her telescope, and stared at the ground for a second. "Twilight whats wrong?" Her head snapped up, Derpy was hovering in place close to Twilight's balcony, her mail mare outfit covering her body, her mailbag hanging to her side.

"You havent noticed?" She asked Derpy, Derpy just shook her head. Twilight let out a small sigh, "somethings wrong with Riot, he seems a little....distant" she explained to her, Derpy's eyes went a little wide.

"You mean somethings wrong with him?! I have to find out!" She said before flying as fast as she could down the street, Twilight was about to call her back, but just shrugged it off, and went doenstairs to read a book.

Riot was just a block away from Derpy's house, he looked to his left, then his right, then crossed the street. It wasnt necessary to do it, there were hardly any Taxi cabs here, he was just to used to manehattan. He proceeded on his way down the street.

He walked up to the door and knocked, and waited, no one came to the door. He knocked again, as before, no answer. "LOOK OUT!" He quickly looked behind him, only to be met with Derpy's face smashing into his. They both fell through the door as soon as Dinky opened it.

"What the?!" was all Dinky could say before getting smashed by them, they lay there for a second. Riot looked up to see Derpy on top of him, he started blushing, his crush was right on top of him after all. *MMFMMNN!* he looked around, he couldnt see anyone.

Riot felt something poking his back, he quickly got Derpy off him, who was still dazed from the crash, and got off of Dinky, "thank you" she said, then got up and looked at Riot, "what were you two doing? It looked like you fell through the door while makin-"

'HM HMMM!' Derpy cleard her throat, while giving Dinky a look. "Uh nevermind! Can i go to over to Appleblooms, i can? Thank you!" Dinky quickly said before dashing through the door, Riot had an extremely confused look on his face.

"Hehe, sorry about that, i was trying to find you as quickly as possible, and, well, crashed into you" Derpy said while standing up.

"Uh, its ok, it was an accident" he said back to her, then cocked his head to the side a little, "so why were you looking fo me?" He asked.

"Well, Twilight thinks theres something wrong with you" she said, Riot stared at her for a moment.

He gave a small sigh "well, there is" he said, Derpy gasped "dont worry, its not serious, just....something that happened a long time ago" he said, Derpy looked him in the eyes.

"Well, what can i do to help?" She asked, Riot stood there for a moment, thinking about what she could do.

"Well, could you tell Twilight and her friends to meet me at the park tommorrow? You can come along to" he said, Derpy nodded.

"I will, and if i want to be there, then i'll have to go early" she said, Riot nodded.

"I understand, and i didnt get the tickets for the movie yet, so i dont mind" he said, mentaly facepalming himself. Derph gave him a hug, his face turned red, then he returned the embrace.

"Ok, i'll be back as soon as possible" she said before breaking away from him, "take care of Dinky!" He said as she started on her journey. He nodded then walked back into her house.

"Wait, where did he go again?" He asked himself, then sighed, and started his search near Derpy's house.

~~~The next day at the park~~~

Riot had just arrived at where the picnic was, Twilight, Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie. But wheres Derpy? "Sorry im late!" He looked up, Derpy was flying in from above. Did i miss anything? She asked as she landed.

"No, i havent started the stroy yet" Riot said as he joined the group. "Now, what i am about to tell you all is....a little disturbing" he said.

"Oh my" Fluttershy said, Raritys eyes grew a little wider.

"Ok, whatever, just get started already!" Rainbow said impatiantly, "i've been waiting since yesterday to hear this!" She said, waving her hands above her.

"Ok Rainbow, just making sure you were all comfortable with it" he said, he cleared his throat, and began.
