Chapter 2: Getting settled in: Colton's personal life.

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After I had sent the text to Skype. I put the phone in my pocket, and walked back to the group.

“Sorry, I had to do something.” I need to play it safe, so they don’t think I’m some kind of spy.

“Colton what where you doing?” shit, its twilight, I have to think of someth-

“I had to use the restroom.” Nice save Colton, nice save. True statement, however, wasn’t going to mention it.

“Well ok then, so if you follow me I’ll show you a way to my house.” I feel like I’m unwanted. I don’t like this.

“Are you sure you would even want me to live with you Twilight? It just doesn’t feel right.”

“Well the princess wanted you to move in with me, so I guess you’re entitled to.”

After about 10 minutes of walking the talk, me and Twilight walk up to the library, and walk inside.

“Oh lord, the irony. We are in a library, a place that has books, and also have paper in them, and we are inside a tree. Paper central. Tree-ception” I’m thinking too hard.

“What are you talking about Colton?” she questions me

“Honestly, I don’t know.” I look off into the distance as I put my backpack and tools beside a couch. “Sooooo…..where are you going to station me for me to sleep?”

“In my guest bedroom.”

“Awesome. I need to sleep.” I start to walk up the steps and get about half-way up until I realized, I’m a little sweaty. “On second thought where is the shower?

One trip to the bathroom later.

“Oh my sweet lord. I needed that.” Feeling refreshed, I walk out with my previous clothing on. “Ok twilight! I know what I’m going to do next!” no answer “um twilight” still no answer. “Hmm…. Mabey she went somewhere” I decide not to yell. Mostly because I yell loud, so loud in fact I could yell to a crowd of people (or ponies in this case.) and they could hear me clearly. So I look around for clues for her little disappearance. I find a note on the door that reads “I’ll back in 10.” I sit down giving myself a pat on the back and pull out my phone and look at funny videos on YouTube, mostly anything that caught my eyes, like bait pranks and ragetages. Then I just felt bored and put my phone in my pocket. Without my knowledge a little purple dragon watching me, confused and scared.

*Oh….. What do I dooooo?* the dragon thinks. Without a second thought he grabs a pan and tries to whack Colton in the head and sadly succeeds.

“OW!” I scream turning around griping the back of my head “THAT REALLY HURT!!!! WHY ME!?!?!” I see spike with a pan in his hand. And I scream even more, half excited to the boi and half acting scared or surprised. “WHAT ARE YOU!?!?!?” he was probably scared shitless.

“WHAT AM I? What are you?!?!” he screams. Yep scared shitless.

“Oh in that case, I’m a Human, my name is Colton.” I say nonchalantly

“I-I-I’m a dragon, and m-my name is S-Spike.”

‘Well nice to meet you Spike” I reach out my hand to greet him further and he half openly accepts.

“Nice to meet you to Colton. So what where you watching on that thing.”

“Oh this?” I throw my phone up in the air and catch it “I’ll tell you when twilight gets back.” I hear the door opening and I turn to see its twilight. “Well speak of the devil.”

“What’s a devil?” oh good lord. “And what’s that thing in your paw?” great at this rate I’ll have to tell the story on how I became to be.

“Ugh. A devil can be known as 2 things a demented spirit or an expression. And this.” I point my hand “is my hand, and.” I show my phone. “This. Is a phone it can make calls and…….”

How about we not mess with this back and forth between Twilight, Spike, and Colton

“Are you done quizzing me? I mean we’ve been at this for like an hour.”

Twilight looks at me happily and says “sure! But I will ask for more about you and your experiences along with your history!”

“Whoa whoa whoa. I don’t do so great with history. I can try though.” I say with a smile.

“Well try as hard as you can next time” twilight says with enthusiasm.

“Even in my own words?”

“Even in your own words.” Oh shit.

“Alright. Now without further to do. Have to go find somepony to make me some clothings.”

“Actually. Me and Spike know somepony who can make clothes.

“Oh really, and who would that be?”

“Rarity!” spike yells out after a second he looks embarrassed and starts to blush.

“Wait really? Well can have some help to find where her place is?

“Yes!” spike yells again, embarrassingly blushing

“allllllllrighty then. Let’s get a move on.”

Near the boutique after about 10 minutes

Me, Spike, and Twilight. Are closing in on the boutique and we had been talking about what colors fit on me the best, There were four. Red, Blue, White, and Black. Along with what designs I would want on it.

“I think I would want knives on it.”

“Why would you want knives on your clothing?” Twilight asks

“Because I like action.”

“But what does that have to with anything?”

“Well, doing flips throwing knifes, stabbing things, you know the usual.”

“You’re violent, you know that?”

“Yes I know. Practically insane.”

With the boutique like 20 more feet in front of us. We stop our conversation/ argument.

“Well we’re here!” twilight says enthusiastically.

“Thank you so much twilight. I probably would have been lost for hours if it weren’t for you.”

“No problem!” she walks off with spike back to her house.

I enter and the doors makes the infamous bell jingling noise I ask “hello?” Rarity starts her business slogan saying

“Welcome to Carousel Boutique Where every garment is chic, unique and magnifique. Oh hello Colton, what can I do for you this fine evening?”

“Hi Rarity, I’m looking for some clothing. I was told you’re the best around.”

Rarity blushes and says, ”Oh why I may or may not be the best but I’m pretty good”

“Well I’d have to be judge of that. Not to put any pressure on you in any way.” So let her test begin.

“Ok, so what kind of clothing would you like?”

“Well. Socks, pants, shirts, underwear, and a hat maybe?”

“Ok just one question.”

“Shoot.” God please don’t be underwear.

“What are these underwear you are talking about?”

Fuck. “Ok so, they are under my pants” I unfasten my belt and pants revealing my underwear.

“So. Why do you have to wear those? Your body is already clothed by pants so why?”

“*Sigh* Sorry for the tiny bit of vulgarity, but they cover up my groins.”

“Oh! Well in that case I guess I can compensate the underwear’s cloth measurements.”

“Ok.” I pull up my pants and belt and ask ”so where do we start?”

“For the measurements. Just go into that room” she points to a measuring room.

“Alrighty then.” We walk to the room and we begin

About 30 minutes later…

“Well that was fun.” I say walking back out

“So what will you have on the shirt?”

I pull out my phone and pull up and image of an M1 Garand with a bayonet and show it to her. She nods her head and says “ok I think I can work with that.”

“Ok just one thing tilt upwards a little, and the smaller part faceing the left sleeve of the shirt”

“Alright, and that’s it! Your stuff should be ready by tomorrow!”

“Ok!” I start to walk out but realized I needed to pay. “Oh what about payme-“

“Don’t worry about it.”

“Wait. What? Seriously?”

“Yes seriously.”

“But why though.”

“Because you’re a friend in need. Why else would I not help?”

“Aww, thanks rarity!” I ran up to her and hug her. She blushes a little at the gesture

“No problem Colton.”

“Well, thanks again, now off to the library!” I run out the door enthusiastically. I run from the boutique to nearing the library it takes about 4 minutes, just out of curiosity I take a quick look at the time on my phone and it reads 1:46 Pm, then I realize… “I need a job.”
