Chapters Back to School and First Lesson
The Bell Rang on the early spring morning, after the holidays. The returning students all seeming to be tired, some slumped over and others with their tails dragging behind them. All knowing that today would be tedious, boring and never ending, until 3PM at least.
“Ugh, school.” Exclaimed a portly dark blue wolf with gradients on his tail and ears to a lighter blue and light purple paw pads, dressed in black pants, a light blue T-Shirt with a purple paw print, wearing an ill-fitting black coat. Who was currently using his long fluffy tail as a scarf. “Why, do we have to come back here anyway?”
“Cause we have to or we would be grounded for weeks”. Said an athletic spilt coloured Pegasus Pony, black on one side and white on the other, with a similarly split coloured mane and tail, black and gold going with the colour scheme as his fur, with some sharp teeth on the dark side. Who was wearing some blue jeans, a plain white shirt and a thick black rain coat.
“Yeah… but, could always get out the window.”
‘But you wouldn't fit and you would have to call one of us’.
“Hey! That happened one time.” The wolf retorted, lightly slapping the back of the pony`s head with his tail.
“Hey, Game, Shadow. What are you two fighting about this time?” Said a quickly approaching black furred deer, with a small white fluffy tail and a white mane with a purple streak running through it, with some small antlers placed on top of her head. Wearing a plain black dress along with some tights and a thick white jacket.
“We weren't fighting, merely discussing a window mishap.” Game replied slightly growling in the pony’s direction, unheard by either of them.
“Oh, I remember that, that was a fun experience.” The Deer said in thought. “Could class that as a first date, considering how long it took to get you out.”
“Grey? You too? Really?” The Wolf replied feigning hurt, as the Pony sniggered in the background. “Anyway, time to head to… Ugh, class. What is it anyway?”
“Gym.” Shadow replied simply, as he looked through his bag.
“Gym… I hate Gym.”
“Well, maybe if you stopped eating so much you wouldn't hate it so much.” Grey said, smirking.
“And maybe fit through that window.” Shadow added.
“That too.”
“But, I'm the cuddly one. This group would be strangely athletic without me.”
“You're the counterbalance, both of us equals one of you.”
“Yeah… Hey, wait.” Game said, catching himself. “I'm not so sure any more, looks like you've been enjoying those hayburgers too much, and you.” Game said turning to Grey. “You're perfect.” He finished giving a little lick to her antlers, earning him a giggle.
“Well, anyway. It`s time to hurry up.”
“Exercise? Already? We haven't even got to gym yet.
The group walked through the school hallways, dodging the ponies that were running around trying not to be late, and stuff as much stuff into their lockers as possible, having to slow down occasionally to let their portly friend catch up to them. Eventually they ended up at the Gym’s double doors which led into a room which allowed the teenagers to enter any part of the school’s sports areas.
As the group managed to finally get to the Gym they all found out that they were doing swimming today, which most of the class found to be great, Game however was sighing, as he knew how annoying it was too dry all of his fur and long tail.
The class was split into the two genders as they went off into their separate changing rooms, each side switching from their standard clothes into their swimming outfits, shorts and other things.
“Swimming, it`s okay I guess.” Game murmured, as he finished switching into his light blue swimming trunks, to Shadow nearby who changed into his red ones.
“You just don't like it because cause you're lazy.”
“What’s wrong with that? I get to stay cuddly and not have to put effort into anything.”
“Well, if you ever want to fit through that window…” Shadow trailed off, smirking at his portly friend.
“Whatever. May as well just go out then.”
“Hmm, don’t think Grey needs to actually swim today.” Shadow said, walking through the pool door.
“Why`s that?” Game said, quickly catching up.
“She can you use you as a float.”
“Funny.” Game replied, proceeding to push Shadow into the pool. “Wet pone is wet.” He said smirking, unaware that his tail was dangling off the side of the pool.
“Oh yeah?” Shadow said, grabbing Game’s tail then yanking it pulling him into the water with him. “What about that wet dog smell then?”
“You win this round.” Game replied, pushing his fur out of his eyes. As the teacher walked in.
“Hmm. Seems like two of you are excited to get wet.” The teacher said, a green furred earth pony with a single tone brown mane and tail in a gym outfit, earning a couple laughs from the class. “Right now, the rest of you get in the pool, today we are doing something simple. Pool Dodgeball.” He finished, as the class got into the pool and Grey along with some others swam over to the side of the pool that Shadow and Game got pushed and pulled into.
“So.” Grey started as she swam over now clad in her purple bikini, along with a Yellow Pegasus with a poofy grey and blue mane and tail dressed in a indigo bikini. “What did you two fight about this time?”
“Hi, Misty, and nothing really, just how you could use Game as a float.” Shadow said quickly, cutting Game off before he could say anything.
“Well.” Grey started, turning to Game. “I could.”
“So, hurtful.” Game, said feigning hurt, and folding his ears. “Anyway, I have a plan.”
“A plan?” Shadow said confused.
“Yeah, Can use you to tickle them so they drop the ball.” Game started as he turned to Grey. “Can use you as a net.”
“Or.” Shadow started. “We could just use you as cover.”
“I don't want to get hit though.”
“But you're fine with us getting hit?”
“Yep.”
“Well, you should be good at this.” Grey said, jumping into the little conversation. “I mean, you're technically part dog.”
“Oh, so you want me to play catch?” Game said, as his tail uncurled and he started to wrap it around Grey. “Well, I caught you didn't I.”
“I guess, but to catch you all I need is a hamburger and a window.” Grey replied smiling.

On the two teams now, it was only Grey, Shadow and Game left with Misty getting knocked out very early on, it was them versus three of the biggest bullies in the school, Ice Mint a Pegasus and his two Unicorn friends Comet Tail and Perry Pokey.
“I hate those three.” Game mumbled to his two friends as they watched as the three bullies gathered all the dodge-balls.
“Same.” Was Grey’s and Shadow’s simple reply.
“Hey, Puppy.” Shouted one of the unicorns. Readying two of the balls in their magical grip. “I think I need two of these for you.” He said with an evil grin, as he threw it at the wolf, who managed to catch one in his mouth and then managed to bounce the other one over to Grey.
Grey caught the ball and readied her arm, mentally thanking all of the times she’d had to try and lift heavy things like, for instance, Game. After a few mental calculations, she aimed a dodge-ball right for the horn on one of the unicorn cronies. Cheering when she hit him.
Once hit, Comet Tail growled and exited the pool, before doing so, he told Perry to show no mercy, and thus, the real fight began.
Game managed to get his ball out of his mouth and proceeded to throw it straight at the leader who easily managed to catch the ball, and throw it back, hitting him straight in the face. As he himself growled and left the pool, a bit slower than Comet however, due to his food habits and the long fur weighing him down.
Grey sighed and looked over to Shadow “Guess it’s just you and me, let us show no mercy.” Shadow nodded “For Game!”
Dodge-balls splashed into the water, bystanders were watching with interest as the remaining misfits tried their hardest to beat the remaining bullies. Grey’s mane has long since become waterlogged, sticking to her muzzle and getting in her eyes. But she kept going, catching and throwing back the balls to the best of her ability. Shadow said “Hmm, let them try and catch something I throw.” Tossing the balls he caught at the bullies.
Eventually, the bullies started getting angrier, none of the balls they were throwing were hitting. That deer kept dodging and catching, she was rather good in the water, and moved pretty quickly, despite not being a creature that was inherently from aquatic areas.
Perry started growling, throwing more erratically and angrily at the twosome on the other side of the pool. It was doomed to happen, and eventually, Shadow was knocked across the chest by a ball, outing him from the game, and leaving Grey to face the remaining bullies.
Game, watched eagerly from the pool side, as his doefriend faced off against the two bullies,
“Hey, Game.” Shadow questioned. “You think she will win?”
“She has a chance, they are getting angrier, while Grey is staying cool, but still remaining hot at the same time.”
“When did you get all philosophical Game?”
“Hmm? I heard it from TV.”
“Course you did.” Shadow finished sighing at his friend. Meanwhile however, one of the bullies was getting a few insults in.
“Bring it, you unicorn wannabe.” The remaining unicorn spat at Grey, as he carefully watched the ball in her hoof.
Grey laughed “At least my horns are bigger than your one tiny one, and I look fabulous.”
“Ha, she`s brilliant.” Game said between pants from laughing so hard.
Perry glared “At least I have a horn, and some semblance of body tone, unlike your fat wolf friend.” he said with a laugh “Why are you even with him, when you could have somepony who doesn't eat his body weight ten times over in one day?” He asked with a suggestive eyebrow raise.
Grey snorted “He is at least funny and a good friend and Boyfriend. You can’t stay with one mare longer than a week, and they’re always the ones that dump you! I’d rather have someone like Game, he is sweet and kind, and he will never hurt me intentionally.” She said before hurtling a ball at him, smacking him square on the muzzle, and knocking a tooth out.
Game, just sat there on the side of the pool in stunned silence as he sees the tooth fly out, wagging from admiration of his doefriends words.
Grey smirked as Perry left the pool, all that was left one one pony, Ice Mint, who, like his name, had been quiet the whole time, saving his energy as his cronies had done all the work. He sized up the deer, she was obviously getting worn out, her mane was plastered to her face, and she took large breaths, panting as she rested momentarily.
He picked up three balls, one in each wing, and the other in his hooves. “You really should have tried to get me out sooner.” Was all he said before throwing the balls at her in quick succession. She managed to catch one, and avoid the other two, quickly tossing it back and making sure that she moved often, never staying in one place in the pool for too long. Unfortunately, that proved to be her downfall, she exerted too much energy moving, and not enough actually retaliating. As she was moving, she was a huge target, her body being more spread, it was easier to hit her. As such, she was hit on the shoulder, just as she was throwing a ball that would have outed him, had she thrown it sooner.
The teacher saw that the match had ended and it was close enough to the lesson end time, that he told the class to get dried and dressed.
Grey hauled herself out of the pool, arms and legs exhausted from staying afloat and throwing, she collapsed on the ground just outside the pool. Shivering from the now cold breeze.
“You did amazingly.” Game said as he walked over to the exhausted deer and lifted her up and embracing her.
Grey smiled “I did say ‘for Game!’ did I not? You are amazing, so I had to be amazing to be for you.” She said with a tired smile
“I would carry you all the way to your changing rooms, but if you forgot, I'm kinda male.”
Grey laughed “Thanks anyway, I’ll hold on to the wall and pray to Luna that I don’t run into Perry or his two sidekicks.” She said before getting up and grabbing the wall.

After the group had dried off and changed clothes, they headed to lunch. Grey was back in her dress, now without her thick white coat however. Game also had left his thick overcoat in his locker, but kept his tail-scarf as he was cold. Shadow was back in his jeans and tee, also without the heavy overcoat he was wearing. The trio walked to the cafeteria, intent on eating a good lunch before next class.
Grey walked somewhat slower, still tired from Gym. Game and Shadow started joking with her “I didn't know somepony could walk slower than me.” Laughed Game, before slowing down a bit and hugging her. Shadow smirked at the two “I'm sure she’s just tired, now lets hurry up, we've got Computer Science after lunch and I don’t want to be late.
Grey smiled “Okay okay, lets go, besides, I don’t want Game eating me.” She joked.
“I wouldn't eat all of you, just you know maybe a leg or two.” Game replied just as jokingly.
Grey laughed “Well, I’d rather it not come to that, so lets go, besides, its Taco Tuesday!”
“Oh, you mean those weird bread things with green stuff inside that you call taco’s?” Game murmured. “Maybe I will just eat you instead.” Game smirked, licking Grey’s face. “Tastes good too.”
“Yes lets hope they're good tacos this time.” said Shadow shuddering at the memory.
“I remember that, I was the only one who didn't get sick. Cause I ate the meat from my bag.”
“What are you guys planning on having today? I'm going with either Tacos or potato soup. Yummy.” Grey said, licking her lips.
“Well I might try the tacos if I didn't pack my lunch” Shadow said, looking through his backpack
Grey chuckled “I hope you did, I like those tacos.” She said as she started walking faster towards the lunch hall. Leaving Shadow and Game behind.
“I hate it when she walks fast.”
“Well maybe you wouldn't hate so much if you didn't eat 10 times your own body weight.” Shadow, said smirking as he re-used one of bullies joke. Before going to catch up Grey.
“What? I swore it was only two, five max.” He shouted to Shadow, as he himself caught up.
Grey had already gotten into line in the Lunch hall, when Shadow arrived he could see that her plate had five or six tacos on it, and she was grabbing more.
“Careful.” Gamepad remarked. “You'll end up like me if you keep eating like that.”
Grey turned around, her eyes filled with something rather indescribable, a mix between offence and anger. “Is that a problem?” Her voice held danger in it, like if he took one wrong step, he would die.
“Erm… No. Its fine.” Game replied hesitantly. “Ill just go find a table.”
Grey’s face changed to happiness, “Great! Thanks hun!” Game quickly found a seat and dug through his bag for his sandwich, as he waited for Grey and Shadow.
“It seems like I will be eating tacos” Shadow said, as he finished looking through his backpack and got himself about 3 tacos. As he and Grey got their lunch and headed over to where their friend was currently sat, with Grey sitting next to Game and Shadow sat on the opposite side.
They sat in silence for a little bit until, Grey rested her head carefully against Game`s shoulder. “You know one thing you should never do, Game?” She said.
“What’s that?” He replied carefully.
“Break Rule 1. Make reference to a female’s eating or her weight.”
“Oh, I'm sorry.”
“It`s fine, Game.” She said, nuzzling into his tail currently being used as a tail. “Just don't do it again.”
“So.” Shadow started “Computer science next?”
“Good, that's something I'm good at.” Gamepad replied, slightly perked up.
“Why? Cause it involves sitting?” Grey said giving her little opinion.
“You don't seem to be complaining, if you're using me as a pillow.”
“Off course not, you're my cuddly wolfy, remember.”
“Fine then.” Game said, smirking slightly, as he got a somewhat random spare piece of bread from his lunch-box. “If I'm going to be your pillow, you going to be my sandwich” He finished putting the piece of bread of Greys head, and started nibbling her ear.
“Aww, look at this.” said one of the bullies as the group. “A little deer and her overweight pet, having dinner together.” He finished as he grabbed Game’s lunch-box.
“Kibble No.” Game said standing up. “Dentastix, Nope.” He growled as he got closer.
“What are you going to do? Sit on me?” The bully said, a bit hesitantly.
“Maybe, Ill have pony for lunch?” Game snarled. “Personally, I think you'll taste like bad chicken” He finished showing his pointed, meat eating teeth. “Maybe it is time to try new things?” He said taking the piece of bread off of Grey and forcing it down straight on the Pony’s horn, earning a few laughs from the nearby ponies. “Maybe, Ill have a Pony sandwich for lunch, seeing as you ruined mine.”
“Calm down Game he isn't worth it, besides he might give indigestion.”Said Shadow munching on a taco
“True, I think it`ll be all that attitude.” He said, turning back to the table. “Not good for the stomach as all.”
“That’s right.” The bully with the bread stuck on his said. “Go back to your loser friends, and that horned disgrace.” He finished , as he indicated to Grey. To which Game turned around once more, and balled his paw, and punched it straight into his face, knocking him to the floor.
“You can insult me all you want.” Game growled, standing over the bully. “But if you say anything about Grey again, and I`ll make sure I use my claws next time.” He finished, extending his claws. Earning himself a few. “Woo’s.” From the other ponies having lunch, however this was interrupted by the bell, and everyone got up and shuffled along to their lessons.
“Aww, I didn't even get to have lunch.” Game said sadly, looking down at his empty stomach.
“Here Game have my last taco.” Shadow said, giving him a taco.
“Thanks, Shadow.” Game said quickly as he quickly devoured the so-called ‘Taco’, as he waited for Grey to come along and walk to class. “So, Computer Science?”
“Yep.” Shadow said simply.
“Good, I'm good at sitting.”
“Maybe, if you`re good enough at sitting, you'll get a treat later.” Grey chimed in as she came up behind the two.
“Never did get to have my Deer Sandwich.” Game finished, smirking.

Misty left the cafeteria and started heading towards class when she accidentally bumped into Shadow
“Oh, Hello misty in a big hurry aren't you.” Said Shadow
Grey was sitting in a chair across the room from Game, the teacher had decided to assign places, so Grey did not end up next to him. Sadly, she ended up with Ice Mint as her table partner. He glared at her, then smirked “Now I can finally get to figure out why the wolf likes you so much.” He said threateningly.
Game stared over from the other class, managing to listen on the words that were said, due to him while not being an athletic wolf, still has all of his natural abilities. He growled lightly under his breath as he heard ice talking.
Grey growled at Ice “Good luck with that, you’re not getting anywhere near me.” She said before moving her chair farther from Ice. Ice grinned “I have no intention on getting near you, just, in, you.” He said with a smirk, as the fur on the back of Grey’s neck fluffed up. She glared at him “I’ll do you to ten times what I did to Perry if you even try.” She said with a growl.
Game’s mouth opened as he bared his teeth, hearing Ice’s word, and gripped the side of his chair.
“You know Ice you really shouldn't try to pick up some else’s girl” Shadow said, while standing in the doorway, breathing heavily from running to trying and get to class before the second bell rang.
Ice laughed “And what is that fat wolf going to do? Sit on me? Poke me with those tiny claws of his?” He smirked “All I need to do is give him a swift kick, and the deer is mine.” He said, one of his eyebrows raising, while his grin turned into a smirk.
“Ha.” Shadow laughed “It would take more than that, your kick would just bounce off.” Shadow said jokingly
Ice shrugged “Maybe, but I still have two friends, they can help. After all, brute force is no match for Unicorn magic. That wolf would be out like a light-bulb, and we would get to have some fun with our little friend here.” He said, before looking to the front of the class as the teacher came in.
Misty gave Ice a cold stare. ‘’Wow you, really are a cold jerk." Said Misty, coming through the door behind Shadow and taking her seat.
“Meh.” Said Shadow. “The chances of that happening are zero percent because of a little secret I hold.” He finished, smirking taking a seat next to game.
The yellow maned, dulled green furred earth pony teacher coughed, announcing her arrival, and making sure that the class was quiet before beginning the lecture. “Alright, now that everyone is here, we can start. Now, who can tell me the most important thing when writing a computer’s code?”
After his question, none of the students raised a hoof, or paw, to answer. The teacher sighed “Anyone? Don’t make me choose.” She threatened. “Fine then, Game.” The teacher sighed, picking on the portly wolf. “Do you know the answer?”
“Erm.” Gamepad said thinking out loud. “Problem Solving?” He finished uncertainly.
The teacher nodded “Correct! If I had a gold star you’d get one.” She said with a laugh, to which no one laughed.
Ice spoke up from his seat “I'm sure he would much rather a doggy treat or perhaps a Dentastix, I can smell his breath from here.” He said with a cruel laugh.
“Perhaps.” Game started. “I could have a pony treat, by that I mean a whole one. You perhaps?” He finished biting his jaws together.
The teacher sighed “There will be no threats of eating ponies in the class, or derogatory comments. We are equals, and all of you would do well to remember that.” That statement caused many of the students to protest saying things like “That deer is an equal? No way!” and “I'm as low as that fat wolf? Heck no!” making Grey cover her ears and close her eyes, silently wishing she had stayed in Ponyville.
“Hey don’t worry about these jerks, they don’t even have half a brain.” Said Shadow stretching cause he is bored.
“Or, half my weight.” Game laughed to Shadow. “I'm not low am I? I think I'm pretty tall.”
“How you even stand with that weight, boggles every scientist in the world.” Shadow said laughing.
“It`s simple.” Game started. “I'm just strong.” He finished, flexing his virtually non-existent muscles.
“Okay, now!” The teacher shouted. “That is enough of that.” She fumed, staring down every single one of the class. “Any more of that, and I`ll march every single one of you straight to the Head’s office.” She finished sighing, causing silence to befall the class.
“This escalated quickly, huh.” Game whispered to Shadow.
“Hmm, yes but don’t worry about it.” Shadow replied
“Before, you said you had a ‘little secret’” Game questioned. “What is it?”
“Well I can’t say lets just say it’s dangerous.” Said Shadow as he shivered at a memory.
“I have padding.” Game said patting his arm with a paw. “I`ll be fine."
“Ha.” Shadow laughed. “Maybe later, right now we’re in class.” Shadow finished, turning to listen to the teacher.
The teacher sighed and turned to face the class. “Since none of you re going to pay attention, this class is postponed till tomorrow. You can not leave, but you are free to talk and do whatever you want, within the laws of society and manners, of course.” She said before sighing and massaging her temples.
Grey took this opportunity to walk/run over to Game and Shadow, glad to be away from Ice. “Hey guys.” She said with a look of relief on her face. “I'm back, did you miss me?” she teased.
“Of course.” Game said pulling her close and giving her a little lick on her muzzle.
“Well Game was still complaining that he hadn't eaten his deer sandwich.” Shadow teased.
“What? They are tasty, specially this deer sandwich.” He replied, giving Grey another little lick.
Grey blushed “Thanks hun, but I just can’t wait to get out of here, Ice was being a total creep.” She said with a shudder. Speaking of the devil, he was walking right for Game and Grey, his face twisted into an evil smirk. “Your boyfriend would have been safer if you had stayed near me, Deer.” He spat, before trying to grab Grey’s shoulder and yank her away from Game.
Shadow jump in front of game before he could do anything and with speed unheard of took down Ice “I told you you have zero chances. While I'm here so go before I get really mad” Shadow said with a glare that could scare anyone.
“Shadow?” Game questioned.
Grey was standing where she had been, previous to Ice trying to grab her, her face confused and somewhat scared.
“Quickly calming down.” Shadow murmured to himself, before turning around to face Game. “Yes Game?” Shadow replied
“You okay?” Game managed out, also kinda shocked by Shadow’s reaction, knowing him to be somewhat of a pacifist.
“Yes.” Shadow replied simply.
“Hmm. Okay then.” Game replied, unsure.

Game was running late today, as was rushing as fast as he could to get to his locker and then get to class as he was interrupted, by something he considered unpleasant to say the least.
“Hey, Dog.” Ice said viscously coming up from behind Game, who rolled his eyes trying to ignore the bully. “I`ve got a present for you.” He finished slamming a black collar down onto Game’s neck and tightening it.
“What is this?” Game questioned, trying to get it off.
“Oh, nothing really just a magic collar.” He growled out, looking at the now unsteady wolf, who fell to the ground. “Let’s see how much of a pet you really are.” He finished, tilting Game’s head up before throwing him to the floor.
Game just lay there unable to say anything as he watched the bully walk away, as he felt his body begin to change, as he got shorter and as his body began to warp to it’s four legged version, ending with Game passing out, thinking about what his two friends were doing and how they could help him.
Grey and Shadow were busy sitting in their Art class, drawing some of the objects that were placed around the class by the teacher, a pale purple earth pony with a braided red mane and tail.
“Hmm isn't Game a little late.”Shadow said with a worried tone.
“Yeah.” Grey exclaimed worriedly. “It isn't like him to be late, I hope Ice didn't get to him.”
“I'm sure Game could handle himself.” Shadow said, trying to calm Grey.
“Yeah, but still…” She trailed off, in thought.
“He’s probably just slept in or something, maybe he's just finishing breakfast?” Shadow finished with a bit of a laugh, looking to the clock.
“I hope you're right.” Grey said, sighing also looking to the clock.
As he headed through the school to try and find the class he was suppose to be in with Shadow and Grey, he felt more tired than normal, taking this chance to have a break and look at his new body, he found it to be a lot softer and poofier than his standard anthro form, as well as a lot heavier also, which led his walking to become more of a waddle than anything.
He eventually got up off the floor and waddled his way along to the class, and plopped himself outside, waiting for Grey or Shadow to walk out of the class, allowing himself a little break as he panted heavily.
Game didn't get a long break as soon after he plopped himself down, the bell rang and the classes started pouring out of the doors, as Game sat there scanning each one of the students to find his friends.
“That’s weird, Game didn't show up for class.” Shadow said leaving the classroom
“Yeah.” Grey said. “I hope nothing happened to him…” She finished as she was pushed out the way by Ice and his two sidekicks.
“Watch where you're going, wannabe” He snarled, walking in the opposite direction. “Also.” He said turning around. “Have fun with your new pet.” He finished before turning a corner and disappearing.
“Well, that was odd, even for Ice.” Grey commented to Shadow.
“Hmm true, well anyway let’s see if we can find Game while we still have time to before the next class starts.” Shadow replied.
Game caught note of the small confrontation beside him and instantly recognised is two, now significantly taller, friends. As they started to walk off, he quickly got up onto his paws and waddled after than, hurrying to catch up. When Game eventually caught up, he charged straight into Grey’s legs and tripped her up, to which he quickly stopped himself, and looked worriedly over the fallen deer.
“Hmm, what is a dog doing in the school” Shadow said going over to dog “Who do you belong to chubby one.” Shadow said petting the dog.
Game, wagged happily at Shadow petting him but quickly brought himself back to reality and waddled over to the fallen Deer on the floor and licked her horns.
Grey in the mean time, was pushing herself off the floor and back onto her hooves as the chubby ‘dog’ continued to lick her. “Nice, of you to take more interest in a dog than to check if I'm okay.” She said, with a hint of anger.
“Yes but there is something strange about this dog.” Shadow said taking interest in the collar.
Grey, finally managed to sort herself out and dust herself off and took a first look at the ‘dog’ that had tripped her. “You, know this isn't a dog right?” She said noting Game’s changed appearance.
“Now that you mention it he looks familiar but I just can’t place my hooves on it” Shadow said rubbing his chin.
Grey looked up to Shadow, petting the ‘dog’ “This is clearly a wolf.” She stated, finding that her relationship with Game, to be somewhat useful in this moment. Game in the meantime just wagged, and slowly began to roll over.
“Wait a chubby wolf that is really affectionate to you?” Shadow questioned, seeing it all start to come together. “No, it can’t be!”
“What do you mean?” Grey questioned, now rubbing the overweight wolf’s belly.
Shadow crouched down and got near to the wolf “Game?!” Shadow exclaimed and the somewhat pampered wolf.
Game merely looked at Shadow, and nodded meekly, confirming Shadow’s theory, before being forced to look back at Grey.
“Game?” Grey, said disbelievingly. “You look so adorable!” She finished happily, pulling the wolf off of the floor and into a hug.
“Grey, we need to figure out how to fix this.” Shadow said keeping a somewhat level head, before being interrupted by the second bell. “We are going to have to take him to class with us.”
“This is gonna be difficult.” Grey, said looking down at the four legged fur-ball as she put him back onto the floor, before picking herself up.
“We need to hurry.” Shadow said, starting to walk the way to next lesson.
“I'm not sure we can.” Grey mumbled, looking back at the now even more overweight wolf, who was somewhat quickly waddling behind them, already beginning to pant as they turned the corner.

Managing to sneak Game, into the lesson Shadow and Grey were now silently praising themselves in managing to waddling wolf into the room and under the desk, who in the meanwhile was panting under the table, from the short waddle from the other lesson.
It was however, beginning to get close to lunch time, and Grey and Shadow were busy thinking of how they could sneak Game into the cafeteria. As if on cue the bell rang and the class quickly hurried out of the door, leaving the trio to look for an opportunity to get out.
As the teacher looked away, they quickly made their escape through the door, into the somewhat empty hallway, as all the students either made their way outside or to lunch. The trio slowly made their way towards the large double doors, slowly as the two still upright friends walked behind their waddling four legged friend.
“You have to admit.” Grey pondered to Shadow. “This version of him is certainly more adorable.”
“I guess so, certainly a lot slower at least.” Shadow replied, with Game being unable to speak normally currently thinking.
“I`d like to see them move fast with all this, on them.” He thought, mentally pointing to himself, as he panted his way into the lunch hall and saw their table waddling over to it, followed by Grey as Shadow went to go get their meals.
As the pair reached the table, Grey took her seat as Game tried to get up onto the seat, struggling to get the bottom part of his body up, he struggled for a little bit, much to the amusement of Grey before giving up and and nudging Grey’s leg for some help, who promptly lifted the overweight wolf on the seat the next to her.
“You know Game, you being like this, is actually kinda adorable and somewhat nice.” Grey said, stroking his head. “Makes a bit of a change, me having to support you instead of the other way around.” She finished, as she looked down straight into Game’s eyes, as Shadow returned with their food.
“Bon Appetit.” Shadow said, snapping Grey’s and Game’s attention to him as he put the food on the table.
“Where is Game’s food?” Grey questioned, looking at the two trays placed on the table.
“They wouldn't let me get food for him, as they couldn't see him.” Shadow replied, already beginning to eat his food.
“You know Game, there could be healthy things is that pie.” Shadow joked. Game simply let out a small whine of annoyance as his stomach growled and he attempted to reach the pie, but failed.
“So, is my cuddly wolf finally trying to eat healthy? Never thought I'd see the day.” Grey joked, as she hoofed over the pie to Game, as he lapped it up, quickly and happily. Turning to face Grey as he attempted to give his best puppy eyes at Grey at hopes of getting another. “You are really milking this for all it is worth aren't you.” Grey replied looking down at the puppy eyed wolf.
“He wants my pie doesn't he.” Shadow said looking over at the two.
“Yep, how’d you guess?” Grey replied, jokingly.
“Just lucky.” Shadow finished hoofing over his pie as well.
“Strange vegetable pie, is not actually that bad.” Game thought to himself, as he ate the second one, before taking his head off the table and back on Grey’s lap.
“Think he is done for today.” Grey said, resuming petting.
“Normally, he’d eat at least three times that.” Shadow joked.
“Well, he is about three times smaller.” Grey said, earning herself a small noise from Game to tell them he was still listening. “Well, food is getting cold, Game might come back and get the rest if we don`t hurry.”
“Not the cake!” Shadow exclaimed in fake shock.
“All, the cake.” Grey said, laughing a bit at the slightly irritated noise from Game, which quickly turned into a yawn.
“You tired, Game?” Grey said, looking down at the laying wolf, earning another yawn in response.
“Well, getting turned into a feral and having to waddle all over the school will do that to a wolf, no matter how chubby they are.” Shadow, chimed in with a little joke.
“Yeah.” Grey, replied rubbing Game’s ears. “I guess if you feel like sleeping Game, we'll wake you up later.”
Game, took this to heart, as he quickly face planted Grey’s legs and was lulled into sleep by her fondling.
“That’s actually really adorable.” Grey mulled, as she continued petting him.
“Yeah.” Shadow said, peering over the table. “Think we should get a picture?” Shadow questioned, getting his phone out.
“Yes. We can show him just how adorable he is when he gets turned back.” Grey, replied as she dug into her meal, as Shadow took the picture and dug into his.
“This is one for keeps.” Shadow said, looking over the picture, showing it to Grey.
“Definitely.”
Lunch was quickly over and the bell rang for lessons, startling a still sleeping Game, who in response to the bell, yelped and hit his head of the table. Earning some flinches from both his friends.
“Game!” Grey exclaimed worriedly, as she rubbed the wolf’s head.
“That sounded like it hurt.” Shadow said, looking over at the pair, earning himself a pained whine in response. “Look at the good side, it’s magic next. We might finally get a chance to fix whatever did this to you.”
“Yeah.” Grey said, trying to sound a bit more happy, still rubbing Game’s head. “We, need to get going though.” She finished pushing Game off of herself back onto the seat as Shadow took the food away. “Come on then.”
“Ugh, more walking.” Game thought as he hopped off the seat, landing on his side before getting back up and slowly waddling to the door, brushing off the little slip up, which earned him another flinch from Grey.
“Ready?” Shadow, questioned as he came back and picked up his bag.
“Guess so.” Grey, questioned looking at the waddling wolf, slowly making his way to the door.

Slowly, the trio made their way to the next class, the now four legged Game panting heavily from his hurried waddle. When they got there, the teacher was busy talking while drawing some sort of strange symbols on the board, allowing the three to sneak into the class and go to the seats at the back.
The panting wolf quickly took this chance to plop himself on the floor, under the desk and to try to relax.
Grey sat down in a seat, pulling out a few of her books from her bag, and getting ready to take notes.
Shadow took the seat next to her, ready to copy her notes.
The grey stallion teaching the class turned around after finishing the runes on the board. “Alright class, today we’re learning about transformation magic. Now, I assigned you some research, so we’re going to be going over what you should have read up on. I will be asking questions to make sure you actually did the work. So, first things first, how many different ways are there to transform something or someone?
A hoof raised in the back of the class, it was Grey’s. “Three, sir. Enchantment, which is magic placed on an item for the constant use of a spell. Constant, which is the constant use of magic for the maintaining of a spell, typically used by high level unicorns. And One-time, which is one powerful spell that lasts as long as the user wishes.”
The teacher nodded. “Well done Miss Grey, clearly you did the necessary research. I would also like to say, that for every correct answer to a question, the person in question will gain one point of extra credit for the quiz this week.” The teacher finished, as a chorus of disappointed “Aww's” rained down from the class.
Shadow raised a hoof “Sir I have a question.”
The teacher looked over to Shadow. “Yes? What is it?”
“What about magic that can split a persons personality” Shadow asked.
The teacher thought, deeply for a moment before answering. “That is very advanced magic, capable of use only by high-level magic users.” His voice then turned serious “Its use also expressly forbidden by law, so don’t get any ideas.”
“I don’t think I’ll be doing any magic soon, Sir.” Shadow joked.
The teacher shook his head. “This is not a laughing matter, it is very dangerous, high-level magic that shouldn’t even be attempted by a master. The results can be very volatile, and I would have to be out of my right mind to suggest it. Don’t try it.” He finished with a warning gaze to the entire class
“That means whoever they were, they were probably crazy”. Shadow whispered to himself.
The teacher sighed, and continued on the lecture, getting back on topic. “Now that that is taken care of, lets focus. Okay class, who can tell me who the discoverer of transformation magic was?”
Several hooves shot into the air, each hoping they would be picked. The teacher picked a light blue hoof from the middle of the class. “Yes? who was it?”
The light blue hoof belonged to a unicorn by the name of Breeze. “The name of the discoverer of transformation magic was Kamen Henshin.”
The teacher nodded. “Correct, how did he discover it?”
Breeze answered quickly “He was experimenting with ways of forming armour without it being forged. It led to him transforming his robes into metal.”
The stallion nodded “Correct.”
The lesson continued similarly, many in the class scribbling down notes and generally paying attention, a strange sight to see in high school.
“Aww, look.” Grey said quietly, nudging Shadow with a elbow. Seeing a sleeping Game under the table.
“Yes”. Shadow said looking over to Grey and following her line of sight to the sleeping wolf. “Still cute. More pictures?” He questioned Grey.
“Sure.” Grey said, smiling slightly at the fun they could have later. “I think we can fix this at the end of lesson.”
“How?” Shadow questioned.
“Well, this entire lesson has been about transformation. And what happened to Game.” Grey answered.
“Oh, that makes sense.” Shadow said, clicking on. “Better wait to the end though. Don`t want to embarrass him any more than we need to.”
“Keeping the pictures though?” Grey questioned.
“Of course.” Shadow said, laughing a little.
Grey rolled her eyes “I’ll never understand colts.” She finished, hearing the bell and the quick sound of hooves against the floor as the class rushed out, as the teacher let them go.
“You two.” The grey teacher said. “Why are you still here? The bell went.”
“Well.” Grey said, unsure of how to ask. “We need your help with something.”
“Care to tell me what it is?” The teacher said, putting the books he was carrying down and walking over.
“Look down here.” Shadow said, kneeling down along with Grey looking at the still sleeping wolf.
“You are not supposed to bring your pets to school, you know this.” The teacher said, telling them off.
“That's the thing, it isn't a pet.” Grey said, standing up. “It`s Game.”
“Game?” The teacher questioned. “That wolf you are so fond of?”
“Yes.” Grey said, blushing lightly.
“How?”
“We are not sure.” Shadow answered. “But since what today’s lesson was about, we thought you could help.”
“Of course.” The teacher said, turning back to his desk. “Better bring him up here then.”
Shadow, quickly thought of an idea to wake up the sleeping wolf, one that involved a bottle of water.
“Shadow, don`t.” Grey said, looking at the bottle.
“What it’s quick and easy.” He said unscrewing the cap.
“Sorry, Game.” Shadow apologised. “But we are getting you fixed.” Game growled lightly at this and brought his tail forward a bit.
“Not like that. Anyway hurry up to the front.” Shadow said, smirking at what the wolf insinuated. The wolf waddled to the teacher and was lifted quickly up onto the table.
“Now, I'm hopeful for the easiest version of this spell.” The teacher said, feeling around Game’s neck. “Ah. Here we are!” The teacher exclaimed, pulling a black piece of material from within Game’s fur.
“A collar?” Grey and Shadow questioned.
“Now, if we just take this off.” The teacher said, undoing the collar and pulling it off the wolf as Game was enveloped in a bright light, causing the teacher and his friends to turn away to only look back and see the normal, fully clothed and two legged Game sitting off the edge of the desk.
“Finally!” Game said, hopping off the table stumbling slightly as he landed, from the shift from four legs back to two, getting caught by his friends. As the teacher looked at the collar.
“Game!” Grey exclaimed, hugging the wolf. “You know, you were much cuter on four legs.”
“I`m sure I was, but not being able to talk is not fun.” Game sighed.
“Hmm, seems this was made specifically for you Game.” The teacher jumped in, showing them the name tag on the collar, which read ‘Gamepup’. “Any idea who did this to you?”
“I know exactly who did it.” Game said, letting go of Grey. “Ice.”
“I had a feeling that would be who it was.” The teacher said, taking a seat at his desk again. “I`ll deal with this, you three need to get to your Form.”
“Actually, can I keep the collar?” Game said kind of shyly, as his two friends started to head out the door.
“What? Oh sure.” The teacher said, hoofing over the collar to Game. “At least you know how to change back now. I`ll deal with Ice and no doubt his two friends as well.”
“Thanks.” Game said, quickly heading out the door and catching up to his friends.
“Actually you two go on ahead, I need to ask the teacher something.” Shadow said, letting his two friends exit out the door, turning to the teacher shadow said “Hypothetically, if someone were to perform a split personality spell how would one reverse the spell.”
“Well, there are many ways. There is the counter-spell and the reversal and it is also possible to just cast the spell again. However, finding such spells is very hard, and illegal I would not suggest trying it.” The teacher said, thinking of Shadow’s reasons for the question.
“Hmm, well thanks anyway teacher.” Shadow said, turning to leave the classroom.
“Hmm, weird kid.” The teacher thought to himself, returning to what he was doing. “Time to deal with this.”

The trio walked to Game’s home after getting out of school, they joked among themselves and made bets on who would be the most adorable with the collar on. Grey, knowing how well Game could put his puppy eyes to use, bet on him.
Shadow was betting on Grey, knowing just how much Grey had Game wrapped around her hooves. “Game, you’re sooo going to lose this.” Remarked Sonic “You know Grey’s got you wrapped around her hooves, she can totally beat you.”
Grey smirked “I doubt that, Sonic. I may have him wrapped around my hooves, but even I fall victim to those puppy eyes.”
Game guffawed “I’ll win, you cannot resist my chubby wolf powers!” He said, wiggling his paws in Shadow’s face. “You saw me earlier. I will win.”
Grey rolled her eyes “I may agree, but you could at least say something in my favor.” she said with a false pout “You know, maybe if I win, I can dare you to do something….” she said with a mischievous grin.
Game, thought this over. “I`m sure you would make a cute sandwich, especially as small deer.” He said. “I also like the idea, whoever wins gets to dare the other to do something.
Grey smiled “It is agreed then, what do you think, Sonic?” She said, looking over to him.
Shadow shrugged “I’m up for it, lets hurry up though, it may be spring, but it’s still cold.”
“Hmm?” Game said. “I don’t feel it.”
Grey rolled her eyes. “Of course you don’t, you’ve got a layer of blubber to protect you, all we’ve got is fur.”
“Speaking of layers, Im sure my mum has got a cake in the fridge.” Game said, completely ignoring the jab at his weight. “Maybe itll help you two with the cold.”
Shadow shook his head “Do you only ever think of food? You’ve got a gorgeous doe-friend who could choose any stallion in the school, and all you ever think of is, well, cake.”
Grey chuckled “He’s doesn’t always think about cake, he sometimes thinks of pie.” She joked, nuzzling the side of Game’s face in a loving gesture.
“Exactly, I`m not a one trick wolfy. Pie is also a thing on my mind.” Game said, before catching himself. “Grey, is the number one thing though. Of course.”
Grey chuckled “Nice save, that was smooth.” she said before seeing his house a few meters away. “Looks like we’re here, I do feel a bit bad though, showing up unannounced at your home.”
“I’m sure it`ll be fine.” Game said, shrugging it off. “She'll think it is good.
Shadow shook his head, looking at his mobile. “But I’ve got to get home and do my homework and then play some games”. Shadow said.
Grey pouted “Well, see you then, don’t stay up too late playing games, we don’t want a zombie Shadow.” She joked.
“Cause that would be a bad thing.” Game, said sarcastically.
“Be nice, Game.” Grey said, before waving to Shadow as he walked off.
“What?” Game questioned. “Playing games is not a bad thing.”
“Bye guys, see you at school tomorrow!” Shadow called as he walked off.
“See ya.” Game shouted, waving.
“Well, with any luck, we’ll see him tomorrow. Now lets go inside, I’m freezing my tail off out here.” Grey said jokingly.
“We better hurry then.” Game said smirking. “There isn't much of it left.” He finished, pinching Grey’s little puffball tail.
Grey slapped his shoulder “You know that hurts, please don’t.” She said with an annoyed look in his direction.
“I’m sorry.” Game said, ears flattening slightly. “Here you can pinch mine if wants.” He finished, grabbing his tail and giving it to her.
Grey chuckled “No, it’s fine, I just don’t like it all that much.” She said, before handing him his tail back. “I’m good, but lets get inside, I can see your mum waiting for us.”
“Yeah.” Game said, looking through the window. “Better make sure you can fend off the cold then. She cooks a lot.”
“Okay?” Grey said, confused as to what fending off the cold and Game’s mother’s cooking had to do with one another.
“You know, the extra layers?” Game said, trying to make her understand. “Fat joke.” He finished pointing to himself.
“Oh, oops.” Grey replied with a slight blush, feeling embarrassed.
“It`s fine.” Game said, grabbing his keys and opening the door. “But there is a reason why I'm so cuddly. And it isn’t just because I like food.”
Grey smiled “I’m just glad I’m on track, the weight melts away.” She said before stepping inside next to him. “I like your house, it’s very, blue.” She said, commenting on the large amount of blue decor.
“Yeah, you would think that I designed it.” Game said. “It’s okay I guess. Bit small.”
Grey chuckled “Everything is small compared to you, love.” She said with a light laugh. “You once rolled over on me when we were napping, and broke one of my antlers that was rated to hold up to something like 300 or 400 pounds.” She remarked jokingly.
“I apologised for that.” Game said defensively. “Besides, I recall you hitting me with it. Also, maybe everything to you is just big.” Game finished, getting a small joke in.
“Yes, but the bruise the antler left on you was not nearly as noticeable as my broken horn.” She said before sticking her tongue out. “And maybe that is true, but don’t blame me for liking to stay skinny, I can escape stuff way faster.”
“I can eat stuff, way faster.” Game commented, throwing his back under the stairs. “And sit on things.”
“Hey, I know this is off topic, but where can I hang my coat?” Grey asked, looking around. “And yes, you can most assuredly sit on and eat things much faster than me.” She said with a small laugh.
“Just on that hook over there.” Game said, waving a paw over to the wall.
“Thanks hun!” Grey walked over to the wall and hung her coat up, then walked over to him. “You want to go sit down and eat?” she asked, her stomach growling quietly, however it was heard by Game’s ears.
“Someone’s hungry, sounds like a little angry wolfy.” Game commented, picking up on the sound of Grey’s growling stomach.
Grey blushed “Yeah, just a little.”
“Well, it will be a few minutes, want to watch TV?” Game said, sniffing the air.
“Sure, what’s on tonight, anyway?” Grey asked as they walked over to the couch.
“Nothing.” Game said, instantly knowing how the TV is. “Just let me, go tell my mum that someone else is ‘round for dinner.” He finished walking into the kitchen, before reappearing.
“Did you tell her that her son has a doe-friend?” She teased. “Because if you don’t, I will.” She said with a laugh.
“I didn't need to.” Game said nonchalantly. “She finds out everything eventually, not sure how.”
Grey laughed “That’s just what moms do. It’s in their job description.” She said, before settling down on the couch to wait for the meal that Game’s mother was working on.
“Guess so.” Game said looking back to the kitchen. “Anything on TV.”
“Just the news” Grey replied.“Better than nothing I guess.” Game replied, sitting down next to Grey.
As Grey turned the volume up, the news anchor started speaking.
“Good evening Equestria I am Bull Turnbull, and with a heavy heart I announce this news. We have received word from our correspondent in Neighfrica that several of the countries within have gone to food war. The tensions within the continent are at an all-time high, and pies have been fired from several of the countries. Many ponies are now covered in lemon custard, and they are bringing out the cherry pies as reinforcements. Several Equestrian guards have been brought out to aid the cleaning.”
“Well, what else are they good for?” Game, commented, instantly getting shushed by Grey.
“And as night falls over the world, we all anxiously watch for improvements. This is Bull Turnbull, signing out.”
As if perfectly timed, Game’s Mother called out for them to “Come and Get it.”
Grey stood up and helped Game to do the same, before walking into the dining room. Her mouth watering at the smell of the food.
“Just a pointer, the white stuff that isn't mash.” Game said, grabbing her shoulder. “Don`t eat it.
“What is it?” Grey questioned
“Just trust me.” He finished, taking his seat.
“Okay…” Grey said, eyeing the plate filled with the mystery substance.
Shadow arrived at his house which held no-one but himself within. “I will find them someday.” Shadow mumbled to himself, going to his room. The room held a large map on the wall, but is was otherwise very sparsely decorated. “I will find them.” Shadow said, determination in his voice as he went to rest.

Dinner Time and Early Nights
“Wow.” Grey said, looking over the plates piled with food, noting that there was only two. “That's a lot of food.”
“Really?” Game questioned, watching her take a seat. “This is just a normal sized meal.” He finished, getting interrupted by his mother.
“I've got work now.” She said, embracing the wolf. “Don't stay up too late.” She said, opening the door. “Love you.”
“Love you too.” Game said, somewhat reluctantly as his mother closed the door behind her.
“Puppy.” Grey said jokingly.
“Shut up.” Game said, laughingly. “I'm sure you are as much a… Actually, what do you call a baby deer?”
“Really?” Grey said, surprised at her wolf’s lack of knowledge. “It’s fawn.”
“Maybe if you had some veg, you would have as many issues with windows.” Grey, retorted, also beginning to eat her meal, albeit a bit slower than Game.
“And then you wouldn't have cuddliest wolfy, you'd have wolfy.” Game said, leaning on the table. “It`s just not the same.”
“Not in the slightest.” Grey said, smoothly.
The pair continued like this throughout the entire meal, throwing jokes and playful insults backwards and forwards, finishing the meal fairly quickly and returning to living room. Gamepad, having have ate the ‘white stuff’ and now lying down on the couch.
“Ugh.” Grey moaned. “I'm stuffed.” Lying down on top of Game. “I feel like I'm gonna pop.”
“You didn't eat that much.” Game said. “I finished off your meal anyway. Also, there is a mop in kitchen?”
“That explains, so much. Also what?”
“Just in case.”
“At least, you make a comfy bed.” Grey said, snuggling into her fluffy wolf and grabbing his tail as a pillow.
“What am I furniture?” Game said, looking down at the deer making herself comfy.
“Mmm, yes...” Grey, moaned turning and getting herself comfy.
“Nice.”
“Very…”
“You know, we never did find out who was cuter.” Game said, pulling out the collar from his bag and moving the conversation along. “I`d think I would be cuter.”
“Cuddlier maybe.” Grey replied, lazily.
“I'm not so sure any more, you really put it away.”
“I didn't want to be rude.”
“Then let’s see if I'm the cutest.” Game said, opening the collar and putting it on Grey.
“What did you…” Grey said, before losing the words and shrinking in a light, making Game shield his eyes. Before turning back to the now tiny angry Deer.
“Oh My Faust, Celestia and Luna.” Game said, looking at the now tinier four legged deer, now sitting on his stomach. “You’re adorable.”
“I hate you.” The tiny deer grumbled, slamming her front hooves into his plush belly.
“No you don..” Game said, stopping. “Wait. You can talk? Aww, that’s not fair.”
“Guess so… You couldn't could you?” Grey said rhetorically.
“You are getting used to this a lot faster than I did.”
“I don't see what the problem is, fairly simple.” Grey said, testing out her new legs.
“Yeah, but I could barely walk, was in school and I couldn't talk.” Game said, trying to maintain what little of a reputation he has.
“You were so cute. Waddling around and when you fell asleep, so adorable.” Grey said, walking up to Game’s face and smooshing it.
“Shadow thought I was a dog and you treated me like one.” Game pouted, picking up the deer in his paws. “You are more sandwich sized now, you know. So tiny.”
“Put me down.” Grey said sternly.
“Never did pay you back for all those rubs and petting.” Game said mischievously.
“Wait, what're you doing?” Grey said, as Game started to fluff her with his tail. “It`s like a lot tiny feathers all at once. Stop!” Grey said, now laughing due to Game’s tail tickling, the quick movements un-attaching the collar from around Grey’s neck, causing them both to stop and look at each other as Grey was once again covered in a bright light and changed back to her normal self.
“Uh, oh.” Game said, looking up at Grey who was now perched on top of him.
“‘Uh, oh’ is right.” Grey said, grabbing the fallen collar. “Payback.”
“No, no, no.” Game said quickly, trying to get away but was easily held down by Grey and once again having the collar forced upon him, enveloping him in a light.
“And once again, he is here. Pillow Wolf the Cuddly.” Grey said, sarcastically, causing Game to just growl slightly and grab his tail with his paws. “So adorable.” Grey squealed slightly. “Now, time for your payback.” Grey said, menacingly pushing off of Game, allowing him perfect time to try and escape.
Game rolled off of the couch and onto the floor, on his back. Trying to roll himself upright, but ended up just lying there, staring up at ceiling.
“Hmm.” Grey mused, looking over the side of the couch at the plush wolf. “Aren't you gonna try to escape or something?” Earning just a flat look from Game. “Really?” Grey questioned. “Maybe, I`ll just leave you there. Think of something better to do later.” She finished, earning a helpless whine from Game. Flicking on the TV, straight to the adverts.
“Twenty percent off your next buy, if you get two more boxes of ChowPup brand pie styled dog food.
“Sounds like something, you'd be interested in, Game.” Grey said, jokingly. “You know, I think you are a couch wolf, the floor doesn't suit you.” Grey said, heaving Game up onto the couch. “Definitely a couch wolf.” Grey huffed out. “Cuddly wolf.”
“You got any good pillows, lying around?” Grey questioned, sitting up from her spot and looking at Game, who responded with a shake of his head. “Hmm, you'll do.” Grey said, picking up Game and moving him to the headrest, Game letting out a small whine in protest, completely ignored by Grey, as she fluffed her wolf pillow and put her head down on his plush. “You are really comfy, you know that.” Grey said with a yawn, closing her eyes.
‘I have been told.’ Game thought, coiling his tail around her torso and nuzzling her head, heading to sleep himself.
Final Countdown (Until Tomorrow)
Game, Grey and Shadow, where now in form, a final little part of the day, just waiting for the clock to
“Yes!” Game exclaimed. “Home in half an hour.”
“Yes, we get to go home soon I can finally play those new games I got yesterday” Shadow said excitedly.
“You can have all your fun on your Coltstation 4, I`ll be perfectly fine on my PC, Windows 7 Horse Premium, playing in more than 60 Clops per minute, not to mention no 12 year old foals.” Game, said trying to sound superior.
“Oh those people who play with each other online I just usually play story mode.” Shadow said also trying to sound superior.
“You two, talking about your games again.?” Grey sighed, joining in on the fairly uninteresting conversation.
“Just trying to prove who is better.” Game said stretching out his tail. “I am clearly the best, Game.” He finished, taking a relaxed winning pose in his chair.
“Hmm, then I guess win.” Grey said, with a smirk, earning herself two ‘How’s” in the process. “Cause I have the best Game.” She finished picking up Game’s tail and wrapping it around herself, and coming closer to Game, before giving him a scratch behind the ear.
“Why does that feel so nice?” Game purred out, the unwrapped part of his tail wagging slightly.
“I'm sure it does.” Grey said, pulling up a chair. “Didn't know wolves could purr though.” She said smirking.
“Maybe, I'm just unique?” Gamepad questioned, slightly shyly.
“Very unique, never seen another wolf as cuddly.” Grey, chimed back in hugging the wolf, before being interrupted by non other than one of Ice’s sidekick, Comet Tail. The yellow furred unicorn, with a dull blue mane and tail, currently wearing a red shirt with a star on it, along with holey jeans.
“Don't you mean fat?” The bully spat out. “Seriously, what do see in this sack of lard?”
“Well, for starters he is kind.” Grey said, looking darkly at the bully. “And another thing, is that he. Isn't you.”
“I'm much better than that fur-ball, I can actually see my hooves when I look down.”
“I don't have hooves.” Game chimed in, not really taking much care with the unicorn.
“Well, whatever.” He said angrily, turning and pointing to Shadow. “You are a traitor. Hanging out with this filth.”
“Well, as you can see I don’t really care what other ponies think.” Shadow said “And another thing I'm about as different as them.” Shadow said pointing out his two different coat colours
“If by different you mean stupid.” The bully continued. “Hanging out with a overfed pet and his chew toy.”
“Well I don’t know if you're blind or stupid, I do pretty good in school and i don’t see another split coloured pony out there.” Shadow said smirking.
“You hang out with the misfits.” Comet said angrily. “You are friends with them, you don't deserve to call yourself a pony.”
“Hmm I don’t do I? I don’t really care what you or any pony else here thinks so just go away and leave us alone” Shadow said starting to get angry himself.
“Why do you all have to be idiot’s.” Shadow said quickly pinning down Comet. “Now apologize or you might have to leave here with a limp.” Shadow said seemingly calmly, pointing over to Grey who was now being picked up by Game.
“You don't scare me.” The bully said hesitantly, trying to get out from under Shadow.
“Oh trust me if I wanted to scare you I would.” Shadow threatened, tightening his grip on the bully, forcing his weight down onto him.
“Fine, Fine.” The bully said, panicking as the weight was forced down to him. “I'm sorry.” He mumbled.
“What was that i didn't hear you.” Shadow said tightening his grip even more.
“I'm sorry.” The bully whimpered out, louder than before.
“That’s better now go.” Shadow said pushing the bully away, before going back to Game and Grey.
“You okay Grey?” Game questioned worriedly.
“Yeah, I`m fine, seems Shadow sorted him out.” She replied, looking at Shadow return.
“But he will probably be back with his friend later.”Shadow said digging something out of his bag.
“Most probably.” Game said, before getting interrupted by his stomach growling.
“Sounds, like my cuddly wolfy is hungry.” Grey said, hugging him. “Guess we could get something on the way home, any ideas?”
“Well I got nothing.” Shadow said, putting his bag back on the floor.
“Never had a deer sandwich.” Game said smirking, embracing Grey and giving her horns a little lick.
“Careful Grey, we know he loves you.” Shadow said chiming in. “But we don't know how strong his appetite is.”
“I'm sure I can take a guess.” Grey replied, pushing in Games stomach. “You know, I'm sure that he could make a perfect float.”
“I'd sink.” Game said, looking the deer. “I'm all floof you know, the water would weigh me down.”
“I'm sure you are all floof, that is why we have to keep waiting for you.” Grey replied, resting her head on Game’s shoulder.
“Floof is very heavy you know.”
“I'm sure it is, and it`s not those 10 pies, 5 éclairs and 3 ice creams and a packet biscuits you had yesterday, that is weighing you down.” Shadow chimed in once more.
“Of course not, and it was 20 pies.” Gamepad corrected.
“No wonder you're so cuddly then, Game.” Grey said, hugging into Game.
“Remember, I'm the counterbalance.” Game said, recalling events from earlier. “You two can stay fit, and I`ll be the cuddly one.”
“You'll always be the cuddly one.” Grey, said hugging him tighter and giving him a quick peck.
“Love-birds, surprised you two didn't decide to live in a tree.” Shadow said, trying to rejoin the conversation.
“If I was a bird, I'd doubt that I would be able to get up off the floor anyway.” Game replied. “All the floof you know.”
“A tree house?” Grey said, thinking of the possibility. “If we had a little bird house together, every day would begin with me try to get Game out of the little hole in the front., it is hard enough to get him out of a window.” She finished.
“They just don’t make windows in my size, or shape.” Game replied.
“Circle?” Shadow said, smirking.
“Speaking of love-birds.” Game said. “What about you and Misty? You both have wings, all you need are some beaks and you'd be literal love-birds.”
“I don't really want a beak though.” Shadow replied, curling one of wings round his side.
“I don't know, I'd think you'd suit it.” Game said, looking at Shadow with some thought, before getting interrupted by the bell. “Finally!”
“Time to go home and eat your weight in food, Game?” Shadow replied.
“As long as he stays my cuddly wolfy, he can eat what he likes.” Grey, replied.
“Well, then let’s go.” Game, said getting out of his seat, failing the first time, and walking out the door with his best friend and Doefriend.
