Becoming Parents
Month Seven Day Two: What's going on...
Previous ChapterNext ChapterStarlight glimmer was on her way to her friend Trixie's cart when she noticed me sitting glumly under a tree. "Hey Jesse. What's wrong?"
"Oh...Hi Starlight." I sighed. "I don't know what's going on with Fluttershy... First, she act's like she doesn't know me. Then, I notice that her baby bump is gone... I am worried that my mind might be messing with me." I never lifted my eyes from the ground.
"It's okay Jesse." She awkwardly hugs me. "Maybe you are just tired and you just dreamed it... Although Pinkie was acting a bit odd. Even for Pinkie standers. That is why I am heading to my friend Trixie. You can come with me if you want."
"Sure...I have nothing better to do anyways." I pushed myself up and wobbled.
"Did you get any sleep yesterday?"
"No. Fluttershy kicked me out. i haven't moved from that spot since yesterday." I looked at the imprint I left in the grass.
*Yesterday After Visiting the Castle*
I sat on the couch confused from earlier.
'Why did she act like she didn't know me? Is she just mad at me?... I don't think this is a mood swing.' The door suddenly opened, breaking away from my thoughts. I smiled as Fluttershy walked in. "Hi honey."
She jumped from hearing my voice, and looked at me with a scowl. "What are 'you' doing here in my house?" Before I could even say anything she grabbed me and pushed me out of the door. "Out! Leave me and my friends alone weirdo." She yelled and slammed the door.
"F-Flut-..." I stammered as I fought back tears. "Okay..." I walked off in the detection of my store, remembered that my keys are in the house. "I guess I can't go there." I kept walking till I found a big shady tree to sit under. As I got comfy (as comfy as you can get next to a tree) I began to weep. Ponies came and gone, but i wouldn't say a word to them. I stayed like this all night.
*Back to the Present*
"That is horrible! Fluttershy would never do that!" Starlight said flabbergasted.
"That's what happened." I sighed again.
We eventually made it to Trixie's cart and was talking to some bug-pony thing.
"Starlight!" The blue unicorn went to hug her friend, but halted for a second. "Wait...How do I know you are the real deal?"
"At last Hearts Warming you tried to buy a body pillow of Twi-" Her mouth was plugged by the magician's hoof.
"Okay you are you, but who is he?" Trixie removed her hoof from her friends face.
"This is Jesse. Fluttershy's husband."
"Hi..."
"Ugh...Hello." She gives a quick wave. "Anyway. Thorax here say that changelings kidnapped the elements and the princesses."
"It is true! I can't sense any emotions from them at all." The bug-pony, who I am guessing is thorax said.
Suddenly, in a big ball off smoke and fire, appeared Discord. He had fire in his eyes. "You!" He looked at me and lifted me up. "What have you done to Fluttershy!" The chaos demon shook me wildly.
"I don't know!" I squeaked out.
"It isn't his fault discord. Changelings got to her and her friends." Starlight grabbed me in her magic and set me back on the imprint. "Okay. So the princesses and the elements are being held in the badlands... Any ideas on how to get them out?" She looks around and everyone's head shakes, but notices somepony is missing. "Where did Jesse go?"
"About 5 miles towards the badlands carrying a bag of potions on his back." Discord points with his thumb. "The guy moved just about as fast as Pinkie, but with a pissed off look on his face."
Starlight looked at the group. "We should go after him." They nodded in agreement and made their way towards the bad lands.
*3 hours of travel later*
"Is that Jesse?" Trixie pointed to a blue spec in the distance. "It looks to Trixie that he is not moving."
"Let's hurry! He may have clasped." Starlight exclaimed and the group ran to the blue bur that was me.
When they got close they heard the sounds of snoring.
"Wait... He is just passed out from lack of sleep." Starlight sighed in relief. "Discord, you carry him."
"What? Why me? I don't particularly like this guy you know. he is chaotic, but also a pansy." Discord huffed.
"Because you are the biggest one here." Discord then shrunk himself. "Not funny. Just carry him your magic or something."
"Oh all right. Fine!" Discord picked Jesse up by his tail and kept him a safe distance from himself.
The five continued on their way till they found a large jagged rock formation with tons of holes in it.
"This is the place." Thorax shook at the site of his old home. "This place is a self generating maze. Only changelings can traverse it without any problems."
"Well since we are here." Discord smiled and began shaking Jesse wildly. "Wake up!" He tried a air horn, shock humor, and even bagpipes, but no response. "....*Smack*"
"Are we out of pickles again?!" I shot awake. "What's up?" I look over to the giant rock formation. "Oh I guess we are here." I crack my neck. "Welp. Time to go get my wife." I start to march forward, but then get grabbed by the tail. "What gives? We are here so let's go get her."
"You can't just waltz in and expect them to give you your wife!" Starlight yelled.
"First of all, I was marching. Second, I am not stupid. I just want my wife. I came prepared." I take a potion bottle and chug the blue glowing liquid. My body then turns invisible. "Sorry but I only brought enough for me. I need to restock tomorrow." I walk off into the hive as the others come up with a plan. The caves keep changing and I wander around for what seems like hours. I find a open area full of Fluttershys and I think to myself. "Okay...What is something only she would know... Ah ha!" I walk out into the middle of all them but sees they don't have baby bumps. "Never mind...I say out loud and I get jumped. "Crap." That was the last thing a said before everything went Yellow....then black.
Author's Note
I know the end of this chapter sucks, but I suck at this type of writing style. I just wanted to move on with this part of the story. Sorry if you were expecting something more interesting. The quality should be back to normal in the next chapter.
