Riot Gunner's backstory

"Alright, i'll begin with the beginning of the story" Riot said out loud to his audience of seven, they were all sitting in silence, waitin for him to begin. "Me and my parents decided to go out and around town, get some ice cream, see a movie, go shopping, all the good stuff of the day."

~~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~~

(Six year old Riots time)

"Today is going to be fun!" Riot said, extremely over joyed about todays plan, "oooh, hey mom! Can we also go to the arcade?" He asked his mother, her name was midnight shine, her mane was black, and she was purple, wearing her best dress, a black and purple stripped dress.

"If you behave yourself, then i'll think about it" she said in her calm, motherly tone of voice.

"ALRIGHT!" He yelled out in excitment, he was jumping around a little.

"Of course we can go the the arcade! You know i like that place to dear." Riots father called from his couch, he had a brown mane with a small hint of red-ish, he was a deep brown color, he was reading the latest sports magazine, he was wearing a normal plad colored shirt with matching pants. His name is Smith R. Gunner (the R standing for Rich)

"Oh dear, looks like im outnumbered" Midnight shine said, everyone started laughing a bit, then things got quiet. The clock started to make the dong noises it makes every hour, *dong dong dong!*

"It's three! Lets go!" Riot said in pure excitment, he was at the door in a split second, all ready to go. His parents were taking their time, Midnight Shine was putting some earings on, while Smith grabbed a tie and attached it to his neck. "Cooome on! You guys are taking forever!" He said, starting to get bored just waiting for them.

Then his parents finished getting ready, and they were on their way. They caled a taxi cab, and took a ride to the park, they always went to the park first, cause the ice cream cart there always serves the best. Riot went with two scoops of vanilla, Midnight Shine did a scoop of strawberry and chocolate, and Smith went with double chocolate scoops.

They walked through the park eating their ice cream, they stopped at the memorial there, and decided it was time to get to their next destination: the mall. They called a taxi cab, but none stopped for them. "Guess we'll have to walk" Midnight said.

"Yea! Plus the mall isn't that far from here!" Riot said, full of energy, he always liked walking, it gave him a feeling of peace.

"It'll give us some excersize, i was hoping for a cab,but its ok if we walked" Smith said, he liked riding in a cab, he felt as if he was going faster then he could run. They started their walk, they passed by a candy shop, a toy shop, and a repair shop.

"Why dont we just go to those shops we passed?" Riot asked, his mother giggled a little.

"Because their candy isnt the best, the best is at candy world in the mall" she said, he got extremely excited about getting the best. They continued their walk in silence, listening to the noises of the city, looking at the birds flying above them, then they arrived at the mall.

~~~one really long shopping spree later~~~

They were making their way out, bags in hand. Riot had managed to get his mom to buy him a toy car, his dad bought a new tie, and his mother, bought the most, including a new dress, three sets of earings, and a golden necklace.

They stepped outside, it was darker then when they entered. "Oh dear, we stayed longer then expected" his mother said.

"Well, guess we'll have to end this trip at the arcade" his dad said, Riot strted jumping around in joy.

"Race you there!" He said before running down the street, he didnt hear his parents yell for him to stop, he just kept going. He got tired of running and stopped to catch his breath, he was standing in front of an alleyway.

He looked down the street, his parents were catching up, there weren't that far away. "Heeeelllloooooo tthhhheeeerrrre" he heard someone say, "whhaaaat arrre yooou doing *HIC* herrrreee litttttlllle misssss" he looked in the alleyway.

There stood a drunken stallion, broken bottle in hand, giving him one of the wierdest looks hes ever seen.

"Iiiimm gonnnnnaaa have *HIC* a fuuuuuunn timmme withh you my deeeeeaaarr!" The drunken man said before jumping at Riot, he screamed as he was grabbed by the man.

"RIOT!" He heard his mom yell, he struggled against the mans grip but to no avail, the man was now trying to kiss him.

*WHAM!* his dad threw his fist into the side of the mans face, Riot fell to the ground, hitting his head. His dad was about to help him up, before the man attacked Smith, stabbing him in the stomach with the bottle. His eyes grew wide.

~~~~~PRESENT~~~~~

Riot had tears in his eyes, the mane six and Derpy had shocked expressions on their faces. "You ok sugarcube?" Applejack asked, he looked at her and nodded.

"I-it was s-such a nice story" Fluttershy said, most affected by the story.

"Is that all your gonna tell?" Someone said, but no one knew who, then Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootalo, and Dinky walked out of a nearby bush.

"Dinky?!"

"Applebloom?!"

"Scootalo?!"

"Sweetie Bell?!"

"Yes?" The four of them asked at the same time, they were acting extremely innocent, Riot was giving them a wierd look.

"What in the hay are ya doing here? I thought you were home with your friends!" Applejack said, Applebloom's ears folded back in shame.

"Well, i wanted to see what you were up to,and the others agreed." She said, her head hanging in shame "we didnt know you would be hearing a story, and when we found out, we listened too!" She said in a cheery tone, her head coming up a little.

It was quiet for a minute as they all registered what just happened, then Riot broke the silence. "Well, I never got in trouble for hearing a story, so why shpuld the little ones get in trouble for their curiosity?" He asked no one in particular.

"Well, i just dont want her to have nightmares because of what you just revealed to us" Applejack said.

"Same here" said Rarity.

"I dont wanna put up with Dinkys nightmares again" Derpy said, "but that was during Luna's exile, so i guess whe could stay" she continued, getting an excited look from Dinky.

"Scoots can handle it, right Scoots?" Rainbow said, everyone looked at the them. They all nodded then looked at us.

"We promise we wont bother you if we have nightmares. We will conquer them ourselves!" They all said in unison, Riot stifled a laugh but Applebloom noticed it.

"Whats so funny?" She asked as she looked at him, he couldnt help but give her a smile in return.

"I find it funny how you four speak in perfect unison" he said, at this point they were grinning.

"Alright, thats enough of that" Applejack said, "why dont you continue your story now?" She said, the CMC were now sitting on the blanket, waitimg to hear more.

"Alright ill keep going" he said, then prepared to continue.
