Shit.

It's the only word repeating over and over in my head. It's the only word I can think of in my current situation.

Everything around me is dark. The sun is out, but it's being eclipsed by the moon. The entire town looks deserted, but deep down I know it's not. I could hear the sound of my own heart being pushed to its limit. I'm running, but I can't stop to rest. If I do, then it will be the end of me. I have no choice but to run.

I hear giggles left and right. No matter where I go they get louder and louder. it's only a matter of time before they catch me.

Shit. Shit. Shit.

"Oooh, Siiilent."

My ears twitch around trying to find where the source of that voice was coming from. The voice sounds awfully familiar. If it's who I think it is, then I am doomed. The voice keeps calling my name out. And each time it does, it gets even closer. I quickly take a look at my surroundings. I can make out the silhouettes of pegasus flying towards me. I glanced over to see that the houses were getting closer and closer together.

Eventually, I find myself trapped in an alley. I quickly turn back the other way. But then I'm met with somepony preventing me from going that way. I can't see who it is, because they're being hidden by shadows. They start walking towards me. My heart starts beating even faster as my fear rises too.

"Oh come on Silent. It's rude to keep a girl waiting." The pony finally came into view. It's Silver.

If it is her, then there is no hope that I can escape. Whatever I can do, she can do better. Teleporting, flying, and even fighting. She has more experience in everything an Ender can do. She just doesn't show it.

"Come on, Silent, all of us are waiting," She said as hundreds of Ender mares come into view behind her. "Or should I say, come in?" She turns around and lifts her tail, giving me a clear view of her slit. The other mares do the same.

"Aaaaauuuuuuggggggghhhhhhhh!!!"

My eyes shot wide open. I get up from my bed and fall to the floor. I looked around to see that I am in my room and the sun is clearly shining brightly through my curtains.

Just a traumatic nightmare.

I've been having nightmares like this for the last few days. They seem to be getting worse and worse as the week grows closer.

The door opens up and a blue maned unicorn pops her head in. She looks around trying to look for something or somepony. She eventually looks down at me. She moves her sunglasses up to her forehead and gives me a confused look.

"Whoa, what happened to you? Why are you on the ground?" She askes.

I look back at her and wave my hoof, signaling that it's nothing. She doesn't buy it and lets herself in and sits next to where I'm lying down. I sigh and get up from the floor.

It's nothing just a weird dream.

"I had a wet dream about you," Lilly said popping in. She always does this.

Vinyl just looks at me, now blushing. I couldn't believe she hasn't caught on that Lilly mistranslates everything I say. It was easy for Octavia to catch on pretty quickly. She realized that my 'words' didn't match my body language. For Vinyl, she'd just took whatever Lilly said for granted.

"I'm not sure whether to feel flattered or disgusted with that, but since it close to 'that' season. I guess I'll let it pass." She said trying to brush it off.

So the rest of the morning became awkward between the two of us.

What am I going to do?

I was pushing thunder clouds over the shopping district in Ponyville. The ponies down below started to pack everything up as they knew they weren't going to be able to stay out much longer.

"Hey Silent, Watch out!" A yell came from behind me.

While I was lost in thought, somepony almost struck me with a lightning bolt. I managed to move away in time. The bolt nearly hit a vender's cart down below. I looked up to see Rainbow Dash signaling me if I was ok. I signaled back and she went right to scowling the culprit.

I was hoping that coming into work would keep my mind off of the inevitable. It clearly wasn't as I was too distracted to avoid a lightning bolt from striking me. In fact, I came right on time to work today. Everyone took notice of this. I always arrived early. They thought that I was some creature named a 'changeling' in disguise. After getting that cleared up everpony started asking questions in concern of my well being.

"Dude, are you sure you're feeling okay?" Rainbow asked me when she was finally done chewing out the other guy.

I quickly shaped my lift wing to form an okay gesture.

"Alright fine. I'll pretend to believe you, for now, " She shrugged, "Just don't let it cause any accidents like him." she pointed at the pegasus, who was hiding in shame behind a cloud. She went back to her position.

After finishing up I started making my way back home. I had no plans for the rest of the day, and the thunderclouds prevented me from going anywhere. Not that I was complaining. I was actually glad that I had a legitimate reason to stay in my room.

I made to the front door. I was about to turn the knob to open it, but something felt off. Aside from the soft rumble coming from the clouds, everything seemed quiet. A little too quiet. I moved my hoof over the doorbell, but then something made contact with the back of my head.

Not again...

"Wakey, wakey." A voice called out to me. A voice I was now familiar with.

What do you want now Silver, you horny bitch?

Such vulgar words Silent.

Bite me.

If you're into that. I don't mind.

I opened my eyes and looked up to see Silver, smiling at me. I looked back down to see that I was on the ground and my legs were bonded together with rope. My wings were also tied down too. Another anti-teleportation necklace was now on me. Meaning I could not escape. I laid my head down in defeat. I was done dealing with them.

"Aw... giving up now?" Silver said disappointed for some reason.

"If he's not going to resist them we can bring him back home." Another voice said. This one was Gray.

My mistake was not keeping my guard up. Being distracted when I should have suspected them to strike at any time. However, their mistake was letting me recover, while still at the front of my house.

I quickly sprang up and hit the doorbell with my mussel.

*Ding ding dong*

A spring appeared from underneath me and launched me up tot he roof. A section of the roof opened and I fell right in. I had installed a trap for when something like this happened. The only issue was that I was supposed to be on the other side of the door and they were supposed to be the ones caught in it. So when I landed, I landed in a cage. Now, why was ringing the doorbell activating the trap when it made more sense for the other pony on the other side to be the one activating it? Simple, a special pattern for it to be activated when they were right behind me too. Only that I was to push them into it. but this time, I was caught off guard.

Octavia was the first to find me. She had an irritated face, but then she realized that I was the one in the cage. Confused to see why I was the one in the trap.

"Pianissimo, why are you in the trap?" She asked.

She started calling me 'Pianissimo' recently too, but only when we were alone. I had yet to find a name to call her.

I shuffled around to show her that I was in bonds. She quickly gasped and lifted the cage up. She helped untie me and I chucked the necklace at the garbage.

"They're outside," I whispered to her. She nodded.

She left and quickly returned with an eager Vinyl. She was jumping up and down like a child getting ready to open her presents on Christmas.

"Oh boy oh boy, I finally get to use it on somepony." She said.

I wanted to ask why she was excited, but then Octavia turned her head and gave me a wink. So I decided to hold my question in and let the scene play out.

Vinyl opened the door to see Silver and Gray. She then leaned herself against the doorway. I couldn't see her face, but I could tell by her voice that it seemed that she was smiling.

"Hey. How's it going fellas?" She said, "Nice weather we're having today." She pulled out rather large speakers from out of nowhere. "You know what I like when it's a nice day?" She asked the two mares.

"This is a nice day?" Gray asked in confusion.

"Yeah, I like to bring this guy out." She said moving her hoof across the top of the speakers. "It nothing special," She then got quiet all of a sudden, "...Except that it's my BASS CANNON!!!" She yelled and pressed a red button. The entire thing quickly morphed into a bunch of speakers pointing in one single direction.

I'm not too sure what happened next, but in the end Vinyl's bass cannon blasted the Silver and Gray away, Along with a quarter of Ponyville too. Her cannon retracted back into a normal set of speakers and disappeared back to wherever it came from.

"Later fuckers!" She yelled even though they were long gone.

You know what? I don't even care anymore.

I walked up to Octavia and gave a quick peck on the lips as thanks. She replied by pulling me back and extended the kiss by a few more seconds. We stared deeply at each other's eyes after breaking the kiss. She gave me a smile. She left and started to chew Vinyl out for not dialing the power to a reasonable level.

I went to my room and decided to stay there for the rest of the day. I looked at the calendar.

One week left
