The King Mob of Manehattan
Chapter 9: A Reassuring Talk
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI heard the door bell ring and I called out,"Coming!" I ran to the door and opened it to see all five of Rainbow's friends. Crap, I thought. They all had a bright smile and I faked mine. "Come in guys! It's nice to see all of you guys again!" I said. Rainbow walks in, not smiling. I frowned. "Rainbow? What's wrong?" I ask.
"She thinks you're some part of a gang!" Applejack says, rolling her eyes as if Rainbow is ridiculous. Too bad Rainbow's right though.
"Wait? A gang? Pfft, okay I feel better now," I said, bullcrapping sensors going off the charts. "I thought she thought I was much worse!" I said. Everyone looks at me with surprise.
"Wait, what? What could she think you were?" AJ asks.
"A serial killing psychopath!" I said. Bullcrapping is increasing by number over every word.
"Why?" Twilight asks slowly.
"Because I hired some mercenaries to go and get Rainbow from an evil company that was blown to smitherines. I didn't expect that last part, but it was well deserved for what he did," I said. Everyone looks at Rainbow.
"You weren't joking!?" Rarity says.
"No, she wasn't joking," I said. Rainbow looks at me with uncertainty. "Anyway, who's hungry? I have some popcorn out for watching a movie," I said. Pinkie cheers and warps out of the room while everyone except me and Rainbow Dash walked. We stare at each other for a little bit. "Rainbow, I'm sorry you had seen that," I said. "I didn't mean for all those ponies to be killed," I lied. She nods. She flies up to me and holds me in a hug. I hear her sobbing, and feel a wet spot on my suit.
"Thank you though, thank you so much," she said. I hugged slowly.
"Rainbow, that is what I would do though. I would kill for you," I said. She keeps crying and hugging me. I pat her back and sighed. "Okay, cheer up now. We have popcorn and a lot of butter," I said smiling. She seems to cheer up a little and smiles.
After the movie of Daring Do, everyone said good bye as they left. Before Rainbow left, she pecks my cheek and flies off. I smiled and waved and went back to work. I saw I had an email before the ponies showed up. "Hello Mr Fire Shot, I will be coming by your warehouse, I am going to offer a deal. It will pay good money if you accept. I had met your friend Bullet Count who said that you needed to agree on it. Come to your hide out in four hours. Try anything fishy, and you will die," it ended. I smirked.
"Good job Bullet, I'm gonna need this kind of cash," I said to myself. I drink my pony potion and got dressed. As I got in the elevator, a cyan pony ran up. Crap times two, I thought. It was Rainbow Dash, sitting beside me as we both waited for the first floor.
"Hi! I'm Rainbow Dash, what's your name?" She asks.
"Um, Fire Shot," I said. She nods. She looks at me again, seeming uncertain.
"Do I know you?" She asks.
"I dunno, but I know you," I said, knowing a way to escape.
"Really?" She asks.
"Yep, you're Rainbow Dash! The most awesome at flyer in Equestria!" I said. She smiles widely in pride.
"Yeah I am! I'm also in the Wonderbolts!" She said, hovering a bit. I chuckled. Bullcrapping mode is on, lying shall commence.
"Yes, my little brother loved your show once, and he still loves it. You're his favorite," I said. "Can you autograph my glove?" I ask, taking the glove of my wing off. She nods and I hand her a pen. She scribbles her signature on it and I put it back on. I chuckled at how cool it looked. "This will bring joy to his little smile," I said. She chuckles. "So, what is Equestrian's most famous flyer doing in this kind of apartment building?" I ask.
"Visiting an awesome friend! At first I thought he was a gangster and that he'd kill me, but after a little listening, I figured out he'd kill for me. I um, kind of love him," she says. I felt my heart skip a beat.
"Really? What does he look like?" I asked.
"He's tall, usually wears a black or red suit. He stands on two legs and gas genetically thingies on his hooves call fingers and toes, and his hooves have two different names called Hands and Feet! He has some shaggy hair he tries to comb and has some admittedly beautiful eyes," she says. I smiled at all the descriptions. "I um, want to ask him out on a date or something, but he's a different species! Than again, griffons and ponies usually date, so I guess it's okay," she said.
"I'm sure he'd be fine with it," I said. Rainbow stops and looks at me closely.
"Wait," she said. Crap. "I know you! You were one of the ponies that saved me!" She said. I lose my smile and look away.
"Yeah," I said. She backs away a little.
"D-don't hurt me!" She said. I sighed.
"If I hurt you, then I will have an angry brother," I said. Rainbow pauses.
"Really?" She asks. I nodded.
"I don't like to lie. I admit I killed ponies. Truth be told, I'd do the same thing your friend would do, except I'd do it for the ones I love," I said. "Besides, I only kill someone who deserves death," I finished. Rainbow seems to relax and stepped closer.
"Do you ever regret it?" She asks.
"If I look at their eyes and really think what they could miss in life. Yes," I said. The elevator dings and I walk out. Rainbow waves bye in a friendly fashion. I smile and wave back.
