Understanding Confusion
What's With You Cloud?
Previous Chapter"Waaaaake uuuuuup!" I groan at the sound of Clap "Ooooooor yooooooou will be laaaaate fooooor woooork!"
"Cut it out! It's annoying as hay!" I stuff pieces of cloud in my ears.
"Nooooooot uniiiiiiiil yoooooouuu geeeeeet uuuuuuu-"
"Fine! I'm up!"
"Goooooood foooooo-"
"Shut. UP!"
"Oooooookaaaaa-"
"Put a cloud in it." I shove a cloud in his mouth.
Another day at work, kick clouds, rearrange some and rain some. I try to get it done quickly so I can rest. Turns out, time runs fast when you're half asleep.
"C'mon move it! Or is ballet the only thing you can do?"
"Look, yesterday was a rough, and today wasn't all that fun. So please, please have some mercy and shut up! You're hurting my eardrums... And my brain."
"You need a cupcake."
"Cupcake? What are you talking about?"
"Not just any cupcake, the cupcake. SugarCube corner makes it only once in a month!"
"How is that supposed to help? What I need is a comfortable cloud away from the over-bright sun."
"You will know when we get there." I just know I can't win this.
"Lead the way."
"That willl be ten bits!" Pinkie said overly excited, I'm just buying cupcakes for goodness sakes. I look at Thunder expecting him to pay since he suggested it.
"What?" I sigh.
"I think it's 5 bits each right?"
"Right, can I borrow 5 bits?" You're despicable. I pay the price and trot out which was not so easy since the place was over-crowded.
"aren't you going to eat that?"
"I'm not hungry, let's just head home."
"Just one bite?"
"If it makes you stop bugging me." I take a tiny bite, sugar runs in my blood and soon, the food was gone. "I feel so... awake."
"lets go home now."
"Race ya there!" And I zoom away.
"Heheh, just as planned."
My energy runs out as soon as I reach the house.
"Wh-what happened?" I ask as my I try to stop my legs from shaking.
"You ran out of juice, that is what happened."
"Good timing too. Now all I need to do is to face my old enemy, stairs."
"Should not be too hard, I suggest you get up there before you completely drop." I take the advice and trot through my way to the first step. I did not even touch it as I was interrupted by Sys.
"Aren't you going to eat lunch?" I forgot about that. All I want is a bed, why cannot I ever get what I want?
"Oh, thanks, but I already ate." My stomach grumbles. Traitor!
"I can see that. Now sit." I accept my fate and take a seat, which I find oddly comfortable. I'm sure nopony will notice if I rest my eyes for a bit.
"Cloud? Cloud!" Thunder pokes me.
"Eh, I'm up. how long was I out?"
"Fifteen minutes." surely doesn't feel like it. Sys serves the meal which I gobble up, not from hunger but to get it over with.
"Great lunch, thanks." I escape the scene.
"you're welcome?" She mutters behind me but I was already up there.
"Ahh," I snuggle in the bed. "Yeah, this is heavenly." Nothing can keep me from sleeping now.
"CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS, DRUM MASTERS, YAY!!!!" As if their voices weren't enough, drums started playing absolute dissonance. No matter. Probably some fillies having fun, they'll get tired eventually right? right?
20 minutes later
"That's it. I'm going to give those little disturbers a piece of my mind! no more Mr. Nice Guy." I Don't even bother to stomp as I open the window and fly down. "What's with the racket- eeep!" Maybe they didn't see me. I should run away.
"Hey Mr. Burn. Want to crusade with us?" Sweetie belle asked.
"Sounds like fun, but I-"
"Great!" They shove sticks in my hooves. I look around for an escape and see a glimpse of a certain white bunny. The rodent glares back.
"I have a better idea for a cutie mark."
"What is it?" They all ask in unison.
"How about 'Cutie Mark Crusaders, Rabbit Caretakers'?"
"Oh, we already tried animals." Apple bloom crushes my hope.
"Rabbit spa caretakers?" That did the trick. "And I think I see one right over there." I point a hoof at and they were off. "Finally, some good luck." I flay up to the open window. "Peace and quiet and vengeance."
I yawn and stretch. I look at the time and it's 1:30 a.m. Great. now I can't sleep anymore and I can't do anything else.
"Where does the craziness go when you need it?" I hope the night isn't very dark. "Now I might be amnesiac but I'm sure flying in the dark is against the laws." I wander the night anyway in hopes that I find something interesting, and I did, I found out that I am extremely nyctophobic. The silence is creeping me out. It's as if everypony just died. aren't there some night clubs or something? Maybe not. I should probably head back and stare into the wall.
