The wrench chronicles (bioshock)

Jack:

"err, I guess I could be a police officer" I don't fancy working as a farmhand, bad memories, and a plumber? No just no I have had enough of water and plumbing for a lifetime. "But I can't start for a couple of weeks"

"why not?"

"Well for one I feel like relaxing for 2 weeks, lord knows I need it." Twi looked at me; it was as though she wanted an explanation. Pfft dream on I'm not telling you anything about where I have been.

"Ok then, I guess we can go down to the police station later this week. You can have 5 days rest no more." whoa, ok then, it was better than I expected. To tell you the truth I expected her to march me down to the police station and throw me head first through the doors. "and you have had one day rest so far so only 4 more left" gah.

We left the mayor’s office and headed back to Rarity's shop, wonder what it's called. It was starting to get dark, I wonder how long it will take Rarity to make our new clothes, it would take a human a few days to make a custom design and that's not even including designing for a different species.

As we approached Rarity's shop I saw most of the lights were off, I guess it's pretty late, the clock tower was illuminated and proved me correct it was almost ten o'clock. I wonder if the girls are asleep, we entered and saw Rarity hard at work. "Hi Rarity, you almost done?" done? How could she be done?

"almost done, just some finishing touches" wow she works quickly "Jack yours is over there, I hope you like it, I based it on your current clothes and the fashion here in Equestria." I looked over at where she was pointing, oh my god I have changed my mind I love this pony this is perfect.

The clothes themselves where made out of some soft cloth, it didn't feel strong. The shirt had short sleeves, was White in colour and had the same symbol from my wrists a purple chain running horizontally across it. The trousers where black and had two pockets on the side, wait? She also made shoes. They looked strange, but they looked good, they were a light blue and had a yellow lightning bolt along the side. Hmm the jacket was a bit strange but it was alright, it was yellow and had an inside jacket pocket and two outside ones, the inside one was on the left side and a zip ran down the front. "Alright I have finished Jass' clothes"

I ran over to Rarity, picked her up and hugged her I made sure not to hurt her, but that didn't mean she wasn't blushing. "Thank you Rarity, I love them"

"You are most welcome, but can I be put down please" oh I had made her feel awkward, I felt bad, she had given me these new clothes and I made her feel awkward.

"Oh sorry Rarity I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable" I put her down and stepped back, she was blushing, her white coat was red around the cheeks. Something I noticed about these ponies though was how light they were, I could lift two with one hand. "How can I pay you back for these clothes?"

"Oh don't worry about it darling, it was my pleasure" yeah I'm gonna get you somethin nice.

"Is Jass asleep?" I hadn't heard anything from upstairs so I assumed she was. "I'm going to try these clothes on" I walked into the other room and started to get changed. Damn these clothes felt nice, my old ones where itchy. I looked over towards a mirror and had a look at myself, well my clothes looked good but I didn't, I had a messy haircut and I had some stubble growing, I need to get down to a barber or something.

As I came out of the changing room I could see the girls gossiping to each other "hey Jack seeing as Jass is asleep you wanna have a sleep over?" a sleepover? Hmm ok.

"Yeah sure it'll be fun" Twi and Rarity both jumped up and started squealing, as I watched them run out of the room I questioned whether I had made the right decision.

"Jack, get in here!" I walked into the other room to see both Rarity and Twi both wrapped up in a blanket, a bottle of something next to them. Yep bad decision, if that is alcohol then I'm screwed, I'm not a lightweight but I'm not exactly invulnerable to it either.

I took a seat opposite the two ponies; I saw Twi's horn glow and three shot glasses floated in from the kitchen. Had they been planning this? "Ok then so what are we going to do?" please don't say truth or dare, please don't say it.

"Well I was thinking of truth or dare and we can play spin the bottle after we have drunk this" she pointed towards a bottle that was now pouring itself. Ah jeez my eve is gonna be so screwed after tonight, hope I won't need it. A glass floated over to me, it was filled with a colourless liquid. From what I could gather it was a type of spirit, didn't smell strong, I downed it. Nope nothing, I watched the other two down their drinks, whoa it has a real bad effect on them.

"Right that's it. I'll be right back." both girls looked at me as though I was crazy. I ran back towards the library as I tried the door I found out that it was unlocked, not surprising really from what I can tell this town doesn't have many thieves. I instantly started to climb the stairs, when I got to my room I went over to my bag opened it up and took two items out a bottle of moonshine and an eve hypo. Well if I'm going to lose all my eve from this I might as well have a contingency plan, just in case.

I got back to Rarity shop and seeing as it only took 5 minutes to there and back I assumed Twi and Rarity hadn't drunk all of that other drink. I walked in to find them talking again. "ok girls, I now have my own drink, of you want to try it you can but only a small amount it's really strong." a shot glass floated over to me, judging from how much that small amount of weak spirit effected them I should only give them a tiny amount, I filled the shot glass by about half a centimetre and handed it back.

"What that's it?" Twi looked put out.

"Try it" I was waiting anxiously for her to try it, as she drank it she started to cough, I reckon she will feel tipsy in about 5 mins. I then continued to fill my shot glass with moonshine. I downed it and shuddered, "right shall we start with truth or dare" I didn't want to actually start it but if Twi drank anymore she might get alcohol poisoning.

"Ok then, jack you can go first. Truth or dare?" wait what?

"Hey Twi, why do I go first"

"well, alphabetically you are first." gah why must she be so academical.

"Err ok" Twi probably has a long list of things she wants to know about. "Ok truth" I took another mouthful of moonshine and put it down, I was starting to feel tipsy.

"Have you ever had a crush on anyone?" I coughed and spluttered, typical of Rarity.

"Err no I haven't" they both looked disappointed,

"so now it's your turn Rarity." she quickly picked truth and after a few rounds of this game, I was completely destroyed, I probably couldn’t even walk if I wanted. I looked over to the girls and they were in the same state.
"Dare"

"ok then take your shirt off" I found the request strange but whatever. I took of my shirt in front of the two girls, oh great they gasped, is that good or bad? Rarity beckoned me over, I crawled towards her and as I got there she grabbed my arm and squeezed, she giggled "Twi come feel this" Twi dragged herself over, it seemed her back legs weren't in working condition, she eventually managed to get over to me and grab my arm. "Hehe it's muscly"

"yeah it's awesome, ok Rarity truth or dare?" Rarity picked dare and then when things didn't go in my favour "why don’t you kiss jack?" damn damn damn, nope not happening I turned towards the door and ran towards it. I stopped as my hand was about to touch the door Handle, I was getting pulled back, no, no, no. Why me, I never hurt anyone ... Hmm I need to rethink that.

As I Was held in place Rarity edged closer, I could feel her breath against my face, well might as well go with it, I'm not getting out of kissing her. Our lips met I could taste the alcohol on her lips, they were soft and to tell you the truth it was actually quite enjoyable, I just hope that she doesn't remember this in the morning. Rarity finally broke the kiss, the magic that held me in place released suddenly. I got off my knees and sat down, Rarity asked Twi the one question we had all asked that night "truth or dare" Twi was still giggling from me and rarity kissing.

"Dare" oh dear that smug look on Rarity's face gave away what the dare was going to be, not to mention the fact I couldn't move again.

"I dare you to kiss" I knew it” Jack, while using your tongue" oh god French kissing.
Twi walked over to me, she didn't take as long to initiate the kiss. Her lips were softer than Rarity’s; her tongue was in my mouth! It may have been strange but I did kinda enjoy it, it felt nice. Once the kiss was over I had something to say I was really drunk by now.

I stood up "girls I have something to show you." they looked directly at me "this is how a real man passes out" I saluted both of them and fell face first to the floor and then, darkness.

I woke up to small hands shaking me "huh?" my head was really hurting what happened last night? Oh dear I need to get outta here now. I opened my eyes to see Jess god that hurts. "What is it darling?"

"the other girls need to go to school" she pointed to the three small ponies, they were wary of me that much was obvious.

"ok just give me a min to get ready" I stood up and stumbled into the kitchen, I needed a drink of water, I grabbed a glass from the side of the sink and filled it up, after I had drunk the water I felt slightly better, eh guess it's time to take the girls to school. I see a pen and notepad on the fridge, I picked up the pen and wrote a note to Rarity and Twi, well I had to let them know where the children and I had gone. "Ok guys I'm ready and it's time for school, you'll have to show me the way."

"Thanks mister, we can't walk to school on our own anymore, oh and my name is Apple Bloom, this is Scootaloo and this is Sweetiebell.” they used to walk to school on their own and they are 4 years old?

"why can't you walk to school on your own anymore?"

"oh ever since yesterday some of the creatures from the Everfree Forest have been coming into Ponyville and seeing as we have to walk near the Everfree Forest to get to school, we have to ask for an adult to accompany us" Ah that's understandable, I'm guessing the Everfree forest is home to a lot of monsters. I looked into the trees and if on cue saw 4 yellow eyes looking out, two monsters right there

"get behind me!" the 4 eyes where moving towards us, maybe they were pack animals, they moved together and never moved apart. When I saw it emerge from the tree line, it wasn't two animals it was one, it was a serpent with 2 heads and all I had was my wrench, it was only about 2 foot tall but it had huge fangs. It lunged straight for me; the girls had managed to get round the edge of the nearest building. I jumped out of then way rolling sideways, my eve was gone but luckily I had an eve hypo with me, I stabbed it into my wrist like I had done of times before.

The serpent turned round and began to lunge strait at me, by that time I had some eve and my wrench is now unclipped, I smacked the serpent and sent it flying, unfortunately it went straight towards the girls, I fired an electric bolt at the serpent stunning it, I ran over and grabbed it by the tail and threw it back towards the forest, it slithered back into the forest. I let the snake go there was no point in chasing after it.

"Ok girls let's get going quickly now" I turned round to see a crowd of ponies some of them where clapping but then some of them where angry, Ah damn I know that crowd half angry mob and the other half is appreciative that I just scared off a monster. The four girls ran over to me.

"That was awesome!" Scootaloo was jumping around me. "How did you do that? You don't have a horn."

"Ok we better get you to school don’t want to be late" I picked up Jass and put her on my shoulder, in my mind she was the most vulnerable and I walked through the crowd. Eventually we reached the school house and I saw the 3 girls inside, I turned around and ran back to Rarity's shop it only took me a fraction of the time because of well, no snakes.

I walked through the door and saw Twi and Rarity just getting up "you guys ok?" they both looked at me through half shut eyes, ohhh they have it much worse than I did teehee.

"Eugh what happened" Twi looked as though she had been steamrolled, and Rarity didn't look much better.

"Well a sleepover apparently"

"ehhh"

"yep now do you want a glass of water" they both nodded their heads, and then they cringed. I walked into the kitchen got two glasses, filled them both up and walked back into the living room, Twi had her front hoofs onto of her head and Rarity was stood there swaying. "Here you go" I put the water down in front of them.

"Ehh Jack, err this is embarrassing, but my magic isn't working and I can't pick up the glass" I laughed at this; I picked up the glass and put it to Twi's mouth. I'm glad she doesn't remember what happened.

After they had both recovered, Rarity went into the workshop and after a few minutes came out. "Jass I have your new dress here" Jass ran over to Rarity and looked up at it her fingers outstretched Rarity let Jass have the dress, Jass ran into the changing room. Five minutes later she ran out and latched herself around Rarity's neck giggling away.

"Thank you Rarity" Jass had such a cute voice. Rarity was stunned by this sudden show of affection. The dress was a black colour with a red lightning bolt going down it. The shoes where red with a black lightning bolt on them, it looked really nice and Jass loved them.

"You are most welcome" Rarity looked to be really happy that she had pleased Jass.

"Ok then shall we go down to Applejacks farm?" she looked at me and I just nodded. "Ok then it is settled, are you coming Rarity?"

"I'm afraid not darling, I have a lot of work to do" that was a shame I really like Rarity she is really nice, oh well how can I repay her for all of these clothes.

"oh come on Rarity you need to tell Applejack who made these lovely clothes, and what if a famous pony comes down the street and there is no-one to take an order?" she took the hint and agreed to come with us. We left Rarity's shop, which reminded me "Rarity what is your shop called?"

"It’s called the carousel boutique" yep it's called Rarity's shop; there is no way I'm going to say that every time I want to go see Rarity. We walked along a dirt trail; on both sides were apple trees.

"Wait what's that" I was pointing at a pink shape that was in a tree.

"Oh that's just Pinkie Pie, she pops up in places that" wait what? She just appears? Whatever.
Oh god here she comes.

"Hai guys who is this is it someone new ahhhhh" she ran away at high speed, what the hell was that. Oh well it seemed friendly and wait she didn't care I was a different species? As we head down the road a bit further I could see an orange pony it had a good ol fashioned Stetson hat.

"Is that Applejack?"

"yes darling that's her"

"err would you go on ahead and warn her of Me."

"why would we do that darling?" I made a gesture that said, err look at me. "Oh right"

I watched them talk to Applejack then point over at me, wait what she doesn't really care either, I walked over to them. "Hi Applejack, my name is Jack it's really nice to meet another of Twi's friends"

"it's nice to meet ya'all too, now who is this little one?"

"my name is Jass" it was not much more than a whisper but still she seemed to be getting a bit more brave around these ponies.

"It’s awfully nice to meet yah, would you like to come get some apples with me?"

"Yeah yeah" Jass was jumping up and down in excitement. I saw Applejack look at my arms.

"may I say your muscles are really big, would ya mind awfully if I had a quick look, I think Big Mac will be jealous."

"err I guess so" she grabbed my right arms bicep and squeezed.

"Oh Big Mac will be jealous when I tell him about this, you have bigger muscles than him."

I look over to the other two girls to see they both had their hoofs to their mouths, eyes wide, oh no they remember. "Err it was nice meeting you Applejack, I have some business to deal with, I don't suppose you can look after Jass for a little bit."

"Err sure I guess so" I turned round and bolted.

"Jack, get your flank back here!"
