Chapter 3

The small radio sits on the wooden table sitting in the middle of the room played a soft melody. He listen to the soft but sad turn as he looked around the room he is in. The duel living room full of duel paintings bored the small black unicorn as he put his attention to the window in front of him. Outside, children ran about, laughing and playing in the front yard. Some of them are playing in the dark and foreboding forest that surround the orphanage. A felling of sadness struck the small unicorn. He heard clopping of hooves heading his directions, he turn around to face whoever was coming. Chemicals trotted into the room with her normal kind smile she have.

"Hey Puppet." She said her eyes sparkled in joy. "How are you doing?"

"I'm fine." Puppet said slightly smiling at Chemicals arrival. Chemicals went up to him and gave him a pat on the head. Another sound of somepony coming towards them both, but this time a sound of metal hitting the ground. Chemicals turn her head around and her smile grew bigger.

"There's somepony very special here to see you." Chemicals said as she set away to reveal whoever was behind her. It was a thin pink mare, with a long curly mane that have three main colors, a light yellow, a dark pink and a bold purple. She wore a fancy golden shoes and ware, but the most noticeable part of the mare was that she had a horn and wings.

"Princess Cadence!" Puppet smiled widely. Jumping up in glee and trotted up the graceful pony. The pink princess gave a joyful look. "Hello Puppeteer. I heard a lot about you."

"Really?!"

"Oh yes really. Chemicals here told me that you're the most successful out of all of the children here. And i also heard you grew three inches in a span of two days." Puppet smiled grew bigger than it once were, looking back at the brown pegasus and then looking at the royal mare. Cadence lifted her hoof, she lift up Puppet's cape a small bit and took at peak at Puppet's left side.

"Um... What are you looking at?" Puppet asked, looking at the princess concerned.

"Oh, nothing! Nothing...It's just- I was just expecting something to be there...That's all." Cadence said slightly sweating, her eyes darting back and forward and have a almost force smile. Chemicals giggled. "In due time princess, in due time."

"Yes of course!" Cadence said pulling herself back together. "Of course."

Puppet just looked at the two mare, not knowing what the heck was going on. Chemicals, realizing that Puppet was lost, she smiled and petted the now tall, young unicorn. "You'll find out soon enough." Puppet raise an eyebrow at Chemicals, but smiled and nodded. Cadence said her goodbyes, patted Puppet on the head and she went off.

Just as she did, Sci walked in with two other unicorns on foot, all glaring at Chemicals. "In due time princess. What the hell was all that about? You don't know that!" Sci harshly said. Chemicals turned to Puppet and lowered herself to his level. "I think you should go outside with the rest." Puppet, knowing what's going to happen next, nodded and went outside. Once he was gone, Chemicals turned back to the three unicorns and return the glare. "You're right, I don't know that for sure. But from all the information that we collected, there's a high chance of it to happen."

Sci rolled his eyes. "Oh please, just because his magic ability has increase by 20% doesn't mean he won't become-"

"I believe he will." Chemicals said cutting Sci off. "I believe he will by judging by the charts."

Sci and the other unicorns laughed. "Oh you pegasus are such daydreamers. Believing he can is SO much different than actual facts." Chemicals narrowed her eyes, she thought for a moment before a smile appear on her face.

"You unicorns." She said. "Always get SO jealous at the tinniest of things."

"What the hell did you say to me?" Sci said threading. Chemicals continued. "I mean, once nice thing said out of a princess and all of you start to spit out raciest comments. You silly unicorns."

"Why you air-bitch!" Sci said leaping at Chemicals. Chemicals spread her wings and flew off the ground before Sci even touch her. She flew over the two other unicorns and landing next to the door to the hallway. She gave them a smirk. "You need to work on your anger issues Sci. It may actually save your ass one day." Then she trotted out of the room.

Meanwhile outside, thing weren't going well for Puppet. Once he got outside, the children stopped and gathered around the tall unicorn. Glaring all around him with made him sweat a little. A gray earthpony spoke out first. "Well isn't it Rainbow horn." As he said that he threw a rock. Puppet lit up his horn to catch the rock before it hit him, lighting up and mixing into different colors. Ever since he's started token the glowing shots, every time he used magic his horn lit up in all sorts of different colors, fallowing with the nickname Rainbow horn.

The gray pony continued, walking up to Puppet and putting his face real close to his. "I bet that you feel very special because the princess gave you a nice com-com..."

"Comment?" Puppet asked. Puppet got shoved by the gray pony, falling face first onto the ground. "Shut up!" said the gray pony. The children laughed again, but stopped when a voice shot out.

"Come on Pun Rock, he was just helping." The children looked at the young white pegasus who walking towards Pun Rock. Cloud Thunder pushed Pun Rock before being punch by Pun Rock.

"Why are you defending this freak?!" Pun Rock shouted. "He gave you a love note on Hearts and Hooves day! What colt would like another colt?!"

"A lot actually." Puppet get up of the ground, picking up his hat. He turn around and walked up to Pun Rock. "Fucker." Then punch him in the face. Pun fell to the ground and the children step far back. Puppet got on top of him. Puppet punch him repeatedly in anger, using both of his hooves. Pun Rock, not going down without a fight, bucks Puppet in the face. Puppet fell on his back while Pun got up and return the punches at Puppet.

"You think you're so tough?!" Pun Rock hissed. "You think you're on top of the world?! You think that using bad words and beating ponies you don't like will make you better than the rest?! Well you're wrong! You will all ways be a lonely freak and a loser that no pony likes and no pony will ever adopt you! Not even Princess Cadence!!"

Then, all of a sudden, black strings shot out. Puppet's horn glowed a black aura where the strings came from connect to Pun's body. Pun Rock backed off on Puppet as well as the others. Pun struggled as each string connect to his body, legs and mouth. Then he stopped completely, Pun Rock not only stopped but also went silent and his eyes went lifeless. Everypony stared in horror as the strings seemed to control the earthpony to walk far away from Puppet and sat down. Once he did, the strings unattached and went back to Puppet and disappeared with the black aura. Puppet and the others went silent, Puppet himself not knowing what happen. Pun shook his head, coming out of the trance he was in. Thinking for a moment, Pun Rock pointed at Puppet. " Lift him up!"

Once he said that, two pegasus flew up to Puppet. They grabbed his two front legs and lifted him into the air. The children smiled and laughed as Puppet struggled as the flu higher and higher, knowing what will happen next. They did this to him two months ago, they will lift them high in the air to the highest point of the tree nearby, then will drop him. The last time they did, he broke his leg and couldn't walk of a month, now there doing it again. He lit up his horn, trying to do whatever he did moments ago to make them stop. But it was too late, they reach the highest point of the tree, then they drop them. He fell down at a rapped speed, going face down. The ground moved loser and loser with the children laugher burst into his ears. Cloud Thunder lifted his wings and jump into the air.

Before he was even lose to him, Puppet swoop up into the air before touching the ground. He went above the two pegasus and dances in the cool, Everfree air. Everypony stared in awe as a black feather floated softly to the ground.
..........

"I can't believe Pinkie made us do this!" Rainbow Dash complain as the two pegasus walked with the black unicorn like creature to Ponyvill's school.

"Well, after Puppeteer said that he never been is a public school before. Pinkie didn't like the idea that a child never went to school." Fluttershy said walking next to Puppeteer. After the book tragedy that happen at Fluttershy's house, Twilight flip her shit. She yelled and cried at Puppeteer for a least two minute before she forgave him. Then Twilight put the book away in her saddle bag almost like a funeral, she even put a white flower in the bag. Puppeteer wrote another note that said that her was very sorry. A few notes later, he mention that he never went to school before, Pinkie brought up the idea of putting him in school and here they are now.

"But it's a monster!" Rainbow shouted. Once she did she was greeted with two back hooves in her face. She flew back and crash into a bush. Fluttershy slightly giggled. "Rainbow, you know Puppeteer don't like being called that."

Rainbow dash poked her head out of the bush, leaves and sticks in her hair. "Yeah, I notice." Fluttershy giggled again, softly petting Puppeteer. Puppeteer rub against Fluttershy's hoof in enjoyment. Puppeteer then pulled out a pen and paper out of a saddle bag Fluttershy gave him. He wrote on the paper, then gave the paper to Fluttershy witch said. Thank you Fluttershy for your kindness!

"There's no need for that." Fluttershy said continue walking. "We're just walking you to school, dropping you off and pinking you up again later. No need to thank us for the fifth time. Come on Rainbow!"

Rainbow Dash just got out of the bush when Fluttershy called out. She rolled her eyes and heavily sighed, but fallowed. They trotted into town, like they expected everypony stared at Puppeteer. Most of them stopping what they are doing to look at the black creature. Fluttershy saw Durpy dropped a safe onto somepony's head in shock. She cringes at the aftermath of her doing that, but continued on her way.

"Everypony is staring." Rainbow Dash said look at the ponies expressions.

"Well, Puppeteer is a rare sight." Fluttershy commented.

"Good point. Wait...Where's Twilight? She was just behind us?"

"She went back to her tree house. She took a different route."

"Of course she did..."

Once they reach the school yard, they could see Cheerilee talking to Octavia as they walked up to them. Fluttershy see the children walking in the school ether in groups or by their own. She looked at Puppeteer, his face is a mixer of joy, fear, and a little anger. She petted him with her wing to make him feel better, witch luckily it did. They stopped only two feet away from the two mares, hearing their conversation.

"I can't believe that happen, what the hell is going on?" Octavia said looking slightly down at the ground.

"Are you worried about Vinyl?" Asked Cheerilee concern. "Wasn't she in Cloverfield for a charity?"

"She'll be fine." Octavia quickly said. "She's been in crazier things than this. It's not like a giant alien monster destroying the town or anything crazy like that. So I'm not worried."

"Are you sure? I mean you two have gotten close lately and that phone call you got last night..."

"She'll be fine."

"Um, excuse me?" Fluttershy said butting in to there conversation.

"Oh." Cheerilee said turning to Fluttershy. "How are you to-DAY!!!" She jumped up in reaction to Puppeteer. Almost falling to the ground but catching herself.

"What is THAT?" Octavia said back up a little in shock.

"Don't ask because we don't know ether." Rainbow sighed.

"His named is Puppeteer." Fluttershy smiled. "And by request of Pinkiepie, we are enrolling him into school. He's friendly (when you don't give him a lot of sugar...) and he can understand English really well. Plus, he can write, show her."

Under Fluttershy's command, he pull out another piece of paper and his pen to write out a message. Both Cheerilee and Octavia looked down at the paper as it was being written out, slightly in awe by it. Once Puppeteer was done, he levitated the paper up to Cheerilee's face. The paper said Hello Miss Cheerilee! I'm happy to met you and ready to learn. Cheerilee looked at Puppeteer, then at Fluttershy, then at Octavia not sure what to do. Octavia gave her a I don't know look. A moment past until Cheerilee made a decision.

"Okay, this is unexpected...I'll just hesitate about giving him more than one cookie-because we have a birthday today."

Puppeteer wag his tail and his eyes lighten up. He hugged Cheerilee lightly. Cheerilee looked down at the pony like creature before a smile appeared on her face. Octavia was looking at Puppeteer's third, which creep her out a little trying to pull herself way from the eye . She finally after a second or two pull herself away and looked at the two pegasus. `

"Speaking of unexpected things... Did you heard about what happen at Cloverfield?"

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other, then looked at Octavia. "No, what happen?"

"Well apparently there was an outbreak that happen two days ago."

A cold feeling went down Fluttershy's neck and down her back. "An outbreak?" She asked.

"On what?" Rainbow added.

"Nopony knows." Cheerilee said still hugging Puppeteer. "But according to the news papers that came out today, it gotten bad."

"Bad enough for the government to put a magical dome around the city."

"Really?!" Fluttershy gasped. "Wasn't Vinyl-"

"YES." Octavia said harshly. "But she will be find. If she can handle an hostage situation, then she can handle this."

"Vinyl was in a hostage situation once?" Rainbow dash asked.

"That's not important!"

{*DING-DONG! DING-DONG! DING-DONG!*}

The school bell ringed loudly. Cheerilee looked up at the bell, she let go of Puppeteer and he did as well. She looked down at Puppeteer. "Well it looks like it's time to go to class."

Puppeteer looked at Fluttershy nervously, put she just patted his head her bright blue eyes staring down at him. "It is okay Puppet. You'll do great, see you later." And with that, both Fluttershy and Rainbow trotted off. Octavia would of swear that she saw Puppeteer have a silver tear going down his cheek.
