Chapter 1: The Pony and the Pegasus
Time period is 2 years after season 4.
Light Chaser’s PoV
I awoke at 9:00am to the sound of my alarm like any normal morning. As I opened my eyes and shut off the alarm, I heard a loud knock at the door.
“Who the hell’s knocking on my door this early?” I said to myself as I got up and walked over to the door. When I opened the door I saw a pony of average build with a dark red coat wearing a camouflage jacket.
“Good morning, mind if I come inside?” He asked casually.
“First, who are you and why are you at my house?” I replied.
The red pony pushed past me saying, “Well you see I got a little too drunk last night and I need a place to recover.”
“Fine, but if you don’t mind me asking, what’s your name?” I asked him.
“Oh yeah, you might need that... Name’s Henkil” He said.
“Wierd name, I’m Light Chaser. You can call me Light.”
Henkil made his way to the couch and sat down, “Interesting name I guess, got any food?”
I closed the door and walked over to the couch, “Yeah, what do you eat?”
Henkil chuckled “Once you have lived in the woods for as long as I have you learn not to be very picky, I’ll take whatever you’ll be willing to give me.”
I walked over to the food cabinet and opened it up, “Got some apples.”
“I’ll take ‘em!” Henkil yelled from the couch.
I took 3 of the apples out and closed it. Then I walked over to him and held them out for him, “Here you go.”
Henkil put the apples on the cushion next to him and pulled out a paper covered in strange diagrams, lists, and pictures, “Let’s see here…”
I looked over his shoulder at one of the lists. One was titled ‘24 Ways to Kill a Stallion’, “Um…”
He erased part of a sentence and sighed “No that has already been done, I need to think of something more…” He snapped and said. “Artistic!”
I realized that I was probably harboring a murderer. I couldn’t really say anything as I was a bit stunned.
He turned around and smiled, It wasn’t a normal smile it was more of one of those evil, I can’t wait to do this smiles. “Yes, yes I like this idea...”
“What idea?” I asked cautiously.
“The one where I drug the person and leave them in a shed full of rabid animals… NO WAIT! Rabid turtles!”
I casually walked upstairs to my bedroom and closed the door. I picked up the phone and dialed the number for the police.
A voice came from downstairs “I hope your not calling the cops! something really bad happened to the last guy who did”
“No, I’m not!” I yelled back. The phone never connected to the police and I realized I hadn’t paid the bill in 3 months, “Crap…”
I walked back downstairs and sat in the chair that was next to the couch, “So, how long will you be staying here?”
Henkil put away his paper and began eating an apple, “Maybe one or two hours.””
“Okay. So, care to tell me what that plan’s about?” I asked him.
As I said that, there was another knock at the door, “Who is it now?!” I got up and walked over to the door and opened it. Standing there was a grey pegasus with black stripes, wearing a black and white scarf around his neck.
“Top of the mornin’ to ya” he said.
I turned around and yelled back to Henkil, “Do you know this pony?”
Henkil replied “Nope!”
“I am a government official with a search warrant on your house” the pegasus said matter-o’-factly.
Henkil quickly Jumped behind the couch.
“You know that makes you easier for him to see right?” I said to him.
Henkil yelled from behind the couch “No it doesn't!”
“ You’re in plain view…” I deadpanned.
“See who? I’m just a man trying to find the cocaine in the house” the official said.
“Are you blind? And what cocaine?” I asked surprised.
“Naw i’m just screwing with you.” the pony at the door joked.
I frowned, “He’s not actually from the government Henkil.”
Henkil popped back out from behind the couch “Thank the gods!”
I turned back towards the pegasus, “So who ARE you and why are you here then? Did you get drunk as well?”
“No, why would I be drunk geez”
“Then why are you here?” I inquired.
Henkil got off of the couch and stood beside me, “Maybe he wants to hear about my latest guide!”
“What guide, guides are fun!” he said excitedly.
Henkil swelled up with pride “24 ways Kill a Stallion of course!”
I sighed at that.
Henkil looked at his watch and began to walk out the door” Well, I really have to be going now see ya!”
“Okay tell me while you leave” the gray pegasus said turning to follow Henkil.
Quietly, I said to myself, “Good riddance…”
Henkil and the pegasus slowly walked towards the Everfree enthusiastically talking about his guide.
I closed the door and sighed, “Great, now I’m late getting to Fluttershy’s house…”
