WAY Out of place
Chapter 20: Settling in
Previous ChapterNext Chapter"I guess it's about time to show them to their new home." Twilight said looking to Spike. "Do you still have the letter."
"Give me a sec." Spike said hurrying off.
"Alright asswipes, time to see your new home." I said walking over to them.
They both 'whooped' and Kian looked at me with a smile.
"Got it." Spike said coming back.
The scroll became surrounded in a purple aura and levitated from his hand, unfurling. "Oh, the address isn't far too."
Both me and they and the grey Pegasus's brow furrowed. "Fuck." We said in unison.
Twi started walking through the main library and toward the door, I and the fuck nuts following behind.
"See you later." Spike called out from the door as we left.
"Bye."
"Yeah, later giant purple lizard thing." Justin said with a pause after almost every word.
Jeremy started snickering. "Giant purple lizard, holy shit we're fucked over."
"What are they talking about?" Twi asked looking to me.
"Don't worry about it, they're just stupid." I sighed.
Justin tapped my shoulder and I fell back a bit to see what he wanted. "Let me get this straight, that's the girl you've been goin' out with right?"
"Yeah," I said with a raised brow. "why?"
"Just wondering."
I rolled my eyes and went back up beside Twi.
"Yep, that her." Justin nodded with a stupid smirk.
Jeremy bit his lip to stifle his laughter. "Do it."
"He's gonna be real pissed if I do. You know that, right?"
"None of this is real. Just do it man, it'll be funny."
"Alright." He said grinning and moving closer to us. He lifted up his hoof and wound back, swinging and delivering an audible 'smack' across Twilight's rear.
Twi jumped with a loud yelp, her face reddened in a blush. The grey Pegasus leaned against me and phased through. I stopped dead in my tracks, pupils shrinking and my jaw jutting forward. One of my eyes twitched and I twisted my head to the side, multiple clacking pops resulting. I slowly turned to him. "Run."
"Wait what?"
"Run...now." I growled with minor spasms
He gulped and stared wide-eyed. "Shit."
"I'm going to skin you alive." I said twitching with anger.
He slowly started backing away, I following with higher speed. He began making more frequent backward steps to the point where he was jogging backwards. His eyes were widened in panic and I stared intently, making chase. He spun around and made full sprint. "Shit, shit, shit!"
I followed directly behind in my sprint, teeth clenched. We ducked and weaved through the town, narrowly avoiding crashes with ponies. We passed by Sugar Cube Corner where Mr. and Mrs. Cake were carrying a lengthy cake outside. Justin jumped and dived over the cake, Mr. and Mrs. Cake lowering it, landing in a duck-roll and continuing his sprint. I followed behind and as they raised it back up pulled back and hit the ground, going under in a home-run slide.
I flipped to my side and jumped back up to my feet and ran after, Justin gaining a few feet ahead of me. I followed him through to the market place, weaving around stalls and maneuvering around the many ponies there. His wings began flapping in panic as I gained on him. He slowly lifted off the ground, his legs still moving as though he was on the ground. I came close as he hovered over the ground, gradually rising.
I took my chance and moved in, grabbing at his tail with my teeth. He yelped in pain and his wings beat faster, still trying to escape. My hooves dragged along the ground as I weighed him down. He started flying over the stalls and I was dragged through them, first crashing through a fruit stand. I slammed through it, collapsing the sign above it and splattering orange and across my face. The acidic juice squirted into my eyes and they stung fiercely. I shut my eyes tightly and gritted my teeth, eliciting a yelping "FUCK!" from Justin.
I wiped the sticky mess from my face with a hoof and eased open an eye to see an incoming flower stand and plow through a bundle of roses. I came the other side with multiple deep cuts and across my face and front, a dark red rose somehow clenched between my teeth along with Justin's tail. I winced as I felt something warm and sticky trickle from the side of my stinging face. I could barely see through my blurry eyes as I blared through another stand, this time filled with vegetables. A tomato splattered across my face, the scratches and cuts burning painfully.
He flew higher across town, ponies all around watching in shock and amusement. My grip loosened and Justin's tail slipped out, I tumbled back and hitting the ground with a loud thud, skidding through the dirt. I groaned the solitary word I could manage, dust settling around me. "Ow."
The grey Pegasus Phased back out and stood up beside me.
Twilight stood over me with her mouth agape, looking down with surprise.
I raised my head up to look at her. "Here." I said dropping the rose from my mouth.
She calmed and smiled softly, lowering her head down to mine and planting a kiss across my nose. I winced in pain with a weak smile. "Ow."
"Daaaaaamn." Jeremy said beside her. "You got fucked up."
"I hate you two so much right now." I groaned.
Twilight's face softened at that.
"Not you."
Jeremy extended a hoof out to me, smiling. I sighed and reached up with my own, our hooves hooking around each other's. He pulled back and I lifted up, back onto my hooves. Justin circled back and fluttered over us.
"Sweet man, you can fly." Jeremy said grinning.
"What? Holy shit I'm flying."
"Why don't you land so we can get to our house?" Jeremy suggested.
"Because he knows the second he touches the ground his ass is grass." I said glaring at him.
"Yeah I think I'll stay up here for now." He squeaked.
I sat in the bathroom back at the library, Twi standing on a stool and levitating a cotton ball toward my bleeding cheek. "This is gonna smart." She said as it dabbed at the cut.
"Fuck." I yelped wincing at the sting of the antiseptic.
"This wouldn't happen if you didn't freak out over it." She sighed.
"I still don't get how you're okay with it. He slapped your ass."
"Because Jeremy explained that he told him to, it wasn't like he did it for some thrill."
"So it's okay, because he was messing around." I said gritting my teeth as she cleaned out the cuts.
"Well it doesn't sound good when you think about like that, but yes."
"I'm still beating his ass the next chance I get." I groaned.
"It was sweet of you to stand up for me, but you need to calm down sometimes. Being aggressive isn't the right way to do things." She said smiling softly. "I don't want you to be hurt."
"Fine." I sighed.
She took one final dab below my eye and set down the cotton ball. "All done."
"Great, it's only two and my day's been all," I threw a hoof up the air. "this."
"Then I guess there's plenty of time to read." She suggested, the corner of her mouth rising in a cute smile.
"I'm game." I said smiling.
She hopped down from the stool and hugged onto me. "Thanks for the rose." She whispered.
"Anything for you." I said resting my head atop hers.
