Riot Gunner's backstory

"Alight, time to finish this story up" Riot said, but before he could begin, Dinky popped up.

"Already?" She asked, the look in her eyes was adorable and cute.

"I'm afraid so, we've been here for two hours now" he said, Dinky looked down, but looked back up and nodded. "Alright then."

~~~~3 years later~~~~

It was the normal routine again, go to school, get bullied, go back to the orphanage, get bullied, and then sleep. It was a never ending nightmare, the bullies at school bullied him for his lunch, the bullies at the orphanage did it for his blankets. And what was worse is that the mare that works at the orphanage, doesn't care about children.

Riot walked through the school halls, avoiding everyone bigger then him. He was a little small for his age, he looked kinda like a third grader. He was stopped by his number one bully: Felis Von Herdra. Felis hated Riot, all because Riot couldn't hold back the laugh when he heard his name, ever since, he started taking his lunch, making it clear that his name was something you shouldn't laugh at.

"Where you going shorty?" He asked, Riot looked him dead in the eyes. Riot decided that he had enough of this.

"Shut the hell up Felis" he said, Felis was surprised to hear such a young colt swear, he never went that far.

"Started swearing huh? Doesn't make you any taller! HAHAHA!" He said, laughing at his lame joke. Riot launched his fist into his face, giving Felis a knuckle sandwich for lunch.

"Thats your lunch Felis" he said as he walked by him, he looked back at Felis, he was on the floor crying. He felt a little bad, but pushed it aside, Felis never felt bad for him, right? He walked into his class, sat at his desk, and fell asleep.

~~~~three classes later~~~~

He sat there, bored, watching the teacher talk about math. *RINNG! RINNG!* he ran out of class as the bell rang, he didn't even stay for the homework. He ran through the halls, running for his favorite place afterschool: The Ice Cream Shop. Literally it's name, The Ice Cream Shop.

He ran through the doors to the ice cream shop and took a seat. There was a couple seated behind him, he felt as if hes seen them before, but shrugged it off as his ice cream arrived.

"Hello there Riot, how was school today?" Mr. Ice Cream asked him.

"It was the usual" he said as he grabbed his ice cream, Mr. Ice Cream gave him a smile before returning to the back room.

"It's been a while Riot" the mare said from behind, Riot spun around and looked at them. It took him a second, but then his mind clicked into place when he recognized them. It was the Vandlos.

"M-mrs. Vandlo? What are you two doing here?!" He asked, surprised to see someone from the past.

"We're here for you" Mr. Vandlo said, a beard now adorning his face. His voice has gotten deeper in the three years, but was almost the same. Almost.

"W-what do you mean b-by that?" He asked, stumbling over his words a bit.

"Well you see, Mrs. Vandlo doesn't work with me anymore and he just stays at home. She gets a little lonely without someone she cares about." He said, Riot took in every single word, then his eyes grew wide.

"Does that mean your going to- are you?" He asked, Mrs. Vandlo nodded.

"We are" she said, Riots face was beaming with excitment, nothing could describe how happy he was. "Shall we?" She asked Mr. Vandlo, he nodded. They all stood up, Riot finished his ice cream as they walked out. The walk didn't take long, the ice cream shop was only three blocks away from the orphanage.

They filled out the paper work and called a taxi cab. They sat in the cab as the driver pulled them towards their destination: The Vandlo Manor. Riot stared at it, his mind amazed by the sight. He walked inside, holding Mrs. Vandlos hand. They stood in a big room, a piano over to the left and a big couch to the right. Artwork adorned the walls and hallways, the bedrooms had big beds, and the bathrooms were clean!

"How were you able to aford this?" He asked, Mr. Vandlo chuckled a little.

"Being a detective earns a lot of bits" he said, they all sat on the couch, a fire was going in the fireplace. Riots eyes grew heavy, he gave into sleep. His never ending nightmares, have finally stopped.

~~~~~Back in the park~~~~~

"And thats all" he said, everyone sat there for a minute, letting their minds dwell on the end.

"Well, where are the Vandlos now?" Twilight asked, Riot sat there for a minute, thinking about it.

"Well, they dissapeared when I was sixteen, and your staring at one now" he said, Twilight looked at him for a second, her face screaming confusion.

"Oh yeah! Cause when they adopted you, you became a Vandlo!" Scootalo said, Riot chuckled at her enthusiasm. He looked up at the sky, the sun was halfway to the horizon, and the day was still young.

"I feel...better" he said, a smile growing on his face.

~~~The End~~~
