The Zombie War (Original)

We stood in front of the gates as they slid open. I saw a rather familiar face staring at me.

"Gary?" I asked.

"Holy shit... Kyle?" Gary asked.

"We have some catching up to do." I said smiling.

"Yes we do..." Gary said, looking at the group, chuckling, and back at me.

"On both ends..." I said, chuckling as we went inside.

We saw Celestia walk forwards, and her eyes go wide as she saw Sonata.

"Easy, Celestia. She's with the others." Scootaloo said, holding her hands up.

Celestia calmed down slightly.

"Well... this might make things harder. We need to see everyone's weapons. You'll have them back once you gain our absolute trust, or whenever you go beyond the wall." Celestia said.

Rainbow and the others from here lowered their weapons instantly. The rest of us hesitated, but we lowered our weapons.

Only I kept my arm.

"Thank you. I assume you know that most of your homes have been reclaimed. Yours too, Kyle." Celestia said as she grabbed a wheelbarrow for our weapons.

"Yeah, I heard." I said as I got ready to see the old place again.

"I apologize to the rest of you who don't live in this area. We only managed to reclaim about 30 blocks of the town. We ignored the city, and for good reason." She said.

"Yeah, I heard about Crystal-" I stopped talking when a very familiar person came forward.

Abacus Cinch...

"Mr. Williams...? Twilight?"

I resisted the overwhelming sensation of cracking her in the face.

"Hello,Cinch..." I said as calmly as possible.

Celestia looked on in shock of my response.

"We'll, um... give you three some privacy." Celestia said as she told the others to follow her.

We were alone again.

What should I do?

"Let me start this conversation by stating that I am very sorry about-"

"Don't. Just know one thing: These people... are my family. And if you, Sugarcoat, or any other one of you snobs hurt them in any way... I will kill you, and don't think I won't. That's all there is to say." I said as I walked away, purposely knocking my shoulder into hers.

I only went a few steps ahead, and I snuck around to listen to Twilight.

"...Twilight, I am sorry abou-"

"ABOUT WHAT, HUH?! USING ME, USING WHAT I FOUND AS A WEAPON, AND NEARLY DESTROYING EVERYTHING JUST TO GET A LEG UP?! I've seen ALL KINDS of people like YOU, CINCH! You're just someone who uses everyone around them to keep themselves alive by any ways possible. Those people are always the ones who die. You just found these walls in time..." Twilight said as she nearly knocked Cinch over as she paced away.

What did I miss at the Friendship Games?

I was handed a key to my old house.

"We recovered as much as we could." Celestia said.

I ignored her and went to my street. I found the house and opened the door.

It was almost untouched. It was even tended to.

"Hey, Ky." Scootaloo said, in one of the many empty rooms.

"Hey." I said as I took a seat on the table.

"So, this is your house, huh?" Scootaloo asked.

"...Yeah. My dad, when he wrote his will, said that all of his assets would be handed to us, 'Every last penny', he wrote. We put it into this..." I said.

"How much did he make...?" Scootaloo asked.

"Not really sure, but a lot..." I said.

"Looks like it. So, I never really knew, which room's yours?"

I actually forgot for a minute. It soon came back to me, as part of the carpet is red in my blood...

"The one on the left. That one's mine." I said.

"That one? I should've figured, you always told me that you were a gamer." Scootaloo chuckled.

I let out a chuckle and decided to see the room again. I recognized it off the bat. I remembered the countless hours I spent playing Fallout 4, the desk I did my homework on, the... Lego table?

I let out another chuckle.

"All of this makes me feel 13 again..." I joked.

"Yeah, I get that. We got a power grid set up, with solar panels, windmills..." Scootaloo started.

"If I wanna do that again, I'll just go out the walls." I said.

"Yeah, but that's dangerous, that isn't..." Scootaloo tempted, holding the controller out to me.

Well...

I guess it wouldn't hurt...

We spent about 2 hours playing Fallout 4, taking turns each time we died.

It was a hell of a time.

"Wait, so... what's a Synth?" Scootaloo asked.

"Where do I start? Let me just say that it's a robot designed to look and act like a human." I said.

"Urgh! All of this science is making my head hurt!" Scootaloo said before breaking into laughter.

I soon did the same and we were on the floor together. After the laughter died down, we turned to face each other.

"You didn't see the others while I was gone, did you?" She asked.

"What?! What makes you think that?!" I asked.

"It's human nature! You know, hormones and stuff. I'd actually be thankful you saw them..." Scootaloo said.

"Well, sorry to crush your theory, but I didn't." I said.

We started chuckling slightly, and Scootaloo just stared at me. I stared back and before I could stop it, our lips met.

"Nice to have you back." Scootaloo said.

"Nice to have you back, too." I said.

We were about to go to interviews they had for us. I decided that I could trust these people...

I stood over a cabinet, twisted my robot arm, dethatched it, and set it on the cabinet.

"Hey, Ky! What's holding you-" She saw me set my arm down.

"I'm ready." I said with a grin on my face.
