Unintended Backlash

"Hey everyone!"

I woke up from my nap to see a white-haird girl, with tan skin, holding a blue little dog a bit bigger than me.

Ember

Or Emery, whatever she wanted to be called.

"Hey girls."

"He-hey Gilda."

"so, you heard about my outburst a few days ago."

"You did make a fool of yourself in front of Sunset."

"Yeah, and said a couple of stupid things to Flutershy, sorry, I overreacted"

"It's ok I've forgiven you." she paused "E-even if Rainbow had to nudge me into it"

It was Impossible to think that this girl was yelling and screaming at everyone simply by me opening my mouth just a few days ago.

"So, what's going on between you and Emery or Ember, whatever she wants to be called, what's it like having a dog that can talk and walk on it's hind legs, how does it react to squirrels now, can it break-dance?, Oooh, Oooooh, can it sing."

"Pinkie!! why would you even need to ask that, you hang out with me every day!"

"Oh, sorry." she the turned her attention to me "So?"

"I..I" I like pinkie and all, but she scares me to death "don't care much, I don't even know what that second thaing is, and who here can't."

"Oh, ok, thanks" Pinkie let go of me as I was still a bit dizzy form pinkie crowding over me.

"Actually, Ember seems a little bit distant after that, she prefers to stay indoors, and she's been holding her head from time to time." Gilda looked down with a little bit of sadness. "C'mon, say somethin'!"

Ember just rolled her eyes and continued on sulking a bit, until she eyed me, changing her expression into a glare in my direction. I could see that she was a bit dizzy, but her look was still angry.

"Let me go, there is someone I need to talk to. Alone.

Gilda gladly dropped her on the floor of Sugarcube Corner, followed by her harshly motioning me, she was clearly annoyed with me, so she dragged me out and on a dark corner of the building between a dumpster  and the walls, clearly a bit angry at me about something.

"You're strong for a puppy."

"DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS FOR ME, THIS IS YOUR FAULT!!"!!" she was pointing at her mouth clearly implying her newfound abilities.

"You didn't make it seem that difficult for you."

"I just got the ability, after a few days is when the difficult stuff occurred!, the dogs I once like to chase around feel like strangers to me, like an ANIMAL to me, and I have to keep myself inside, because of something that happened when I told off that great dane to keeps stealing our pillows, it's INSANE it gives me a headache, ugh." she promptly sat herself down held her head against her paw.

"I refuse to see how that is my fault."

"Well ya did SOMETHING to gain an ability to talk, what did you eat some special Rupert Snacks or something."

"I was chasing an animal through a tear or rip or something and a beam of energy shot me, but I still don't see how this is all MY fault, I was just being  a dog, I didn't have any idea, that playing near a rift in time and space would cause so many unintended consequences." THERE'S that word I was looking for.

"Well, you little runt, it's just-it's just-just."

"You're a bit scared"

"AM NOT!!!!!"

"Take it from me dude, I was a bit disoriented too, you know, I was a bit awkward around the dogs, I made a fool of myself around the raccoons and pigeons, and I had to remember to stop following twi to school like that. Listen Ember, I love your tail to death, but you can't really blame me for this."

"I Just wanna, I don't want this, Spike, I want to just have this sucked from me."

'EMBER!!!!" I was being a bit loud, but I didn't care I wan't about to lose the only other talking dog in this city."I CAN'T BELIVE YOU, YOU CAN'T THROW THIS AWAY, THINK OF THE relationship you are developing with Gilda, I don;t know that much about her, but I know she would not like you if you just went back to the way you were, I saw how concerned she was with how distant you have been. You have a change to be more than a dog, i would not like anyone to loser a friend like you can be."

Ember grumbled, knowing how angry she is but not much she can say now.

'I'm sorry, that's a bit long winded, I don't know that much about Gild-."

"No, Your right, Spike, I-I-I-I just didn't expect it to be so hard on me, I thought it was kinda cool I could speak and dance around, but I found out really quick that it isn't all it's cracked up to be, I got in a bit of trouble with the neighbors, it came on me so hard and quickly, that I wanted SOMEBODY to get mad at."

"I know, maybe not to that extreme, but it was unexpected for me, too, and like I said, I made a fool of myself a few times too, but I have some really close friends I love to spend time with now, and I would not have it 'sucked' from me for any reason, I hope you eventually realize that."

"I hope."

"don't act alon, I'm here too, plus It's nice to have another talking dog."

"heheh, yep."

"Sorry I overreacted."

"We both did, sorry I blamed you for this."

"It's OK"

"Now, let's go inside, I relly wanna know why Gilda's here."

"Something about someplace called 'Camp Everfree'."

"Oh, yeah, I think Gilda went there a few times."

We laughed for a while as we headed back towards Sugarcube Corner.

"Love You."

"WHAT!"

"Nothin'!"
