Why me?
Just roll with it.
Previous ChapterNext ChapterBefore Red Heart left my room, she told me that if nothing else happens to me today. That I should be ok to leave the hospital this evening; of course, once the Doctor have given me the ok first. Now normally that would be a good thing for anyone to hear, but not for me. Because I've got no game plan of what to do when I am release from here. Honestly, I was hoping that the Princess would have come back already to give me her answer, before my release. But then again, she is a princess and as such she is a very busy pony, and hadn’t gotten around yet to check up on my records.
Until she does, I am on my own, but then again, I could ask one of my new friends to see if they would help me. But I hate having to rely on the kindness of others so that I don’t end up on the streets... alone.
But I really don’t have much choice in the matter. I need a place to stay and I have no money to rent a place.
I know Exclusive could help me out, but something about living with somepony of the opposite gender can only spell trouble. Not to mention that he too is without a home right now, and is probably doing the same thing I am doing that now. A heavy sigh leaves my throat as I realize that I am in quite a pickle.
I then made my way over the window to have a look outside. I could see the ponies waking or flying from place to place. This is truly a very peaceful place not to mention that these ponies are great at rebuilding. Because I don’t see any sign of the destructions of what happen to the town yesterday anywhere. It like it never happen, which is very impressive for creatures without fingers.
I then heard the door opening as I turn to see Exclusive entering. He looks around the room for me once he saw I wasn’t in my bed. Once he sees me at the window he then smiles as he made his way towards me, but I cut him off before he said anything.
“Exclusive, do you remember the last time you came into my room without knocking?” I asked him raising an eyebrow at him.
He stops for a moment before he answers. “I am not sure this is the first time.” Bad memory this one.
“You have three seconds to get out and knock; before I blow your ears off by screaming.” Exclusive looks confused at my choice of words.
“Uh? But-”
“Three”
“You must be-”
“Two” Now he is looking nervous.
“I am mean you couldn’t possibly be-”
“One” I said then taking in a deep breath, however he got the idea and was outside. I laugh to myself knowing that I just playing around with him. Although I probably would have gone with it anyways. I needed something to lighten my mood, also, I am getting very tired of somepony always barging into my room, without knocking. You would have thought he would have learned the last time he did that.
Then there was a knock at the door. “Yes?”
“It is Exclusive. May I come in?”
“Yes, you may.” he then enters the room.
“Hello, Jessica.”
“Why Exclusive I wasn’t expecting you to be coming on by today,” I said with a little sarcasm in my voice.
Exclusive just shakes his head smiling. “Right. Anyways, Jessica, I came on by to see how everything was going.”
“Oh really? Well every…-” I then notice that somepony had been laughing nearby and got loud enough to get our attention. We both turned to the door to see a pink pony on their back; laughing as they were kicking their hind legs in the air.
“Oh, come on, it wasn’t that funny,” Exclusive said looking at the pony on the floor.
“What is not funny?” said a voice next to my ear causing me to scream like a fil-mare like a mare. I then turn to see that it was Pinkie who had…. wait. I turned my head back and forth between looking at the pink pony next to me and the one on the floor several times, before I stop.
Putting a hoof to my head as I closed my eyes. “Ok, there are two Pinkies here.” Then raising my hooves in the air I shouted: “Can somepony tells me what is wrong with this picture?”
Then the Pinkie on the floor got up and to my surprise. It turned out that she was a he. “Oh, that’s right we haven’t meet before. My name is Bubble Berry, but you can just call me Berry, everypony does.” he then moves to hug Pinkie on her left. “I am Pinkie’s cousin from Las Pegues.” He said smile that can revival Pinkie’s.
A head ack was coming onto me; as I was trying to understand what is going on here. I then was rubbing the back my neck with my foreleg. While leaning my head back stretching my neck as I let out a groan. And to my surprise when I open my eyes there was something on the ceiling. My eyes widen as I see the biggest blackest spider like thing up there. “WHAT IN ALL THAT IS GOOD IS THAT?” Then to my horror it let go of the ceiling fall right on top of my, but I manage to get out of the way just in time.
I can hear the screams of other pony nearby as I felled to the ground with a soft thud. Quickly I crawled away from the bed so I can get back on my hooves. I then turned around to see that whatever that thing was now in the corner of the room shaking in fear as the Pink duo cornering it with two canons pointing straight at it…Wait What! Where did the canons come from? There is no way those two had them on themselves those things are as big as they are.
Nevermind nothing makes sense with Pinkie, and I can only assume that her cousin is the same. I then moved in to have a better look at the creature, and to my surprise it turns out to be a Diamond Dog in ninja outfit with a large bag with him for some reason.
“Ok Mr. Sneaky D.D. Start talking or else you get it!” Pinkie said while looking at the dog with a mean look in her eye. Good golly, I hope I will never have to face that. She looks legitimately scary right now.
The Diamond dog looks very scared as he stares into the barrels of the canons in front of him. “I..I..I…I…I” he stuttered as he tried to think of something take won’t get himself killed.
I could feel an eye twitch on my left eye as I stare at it in disbelief. Another Diamond Dog trying to do who know what in Pony Ville, maybe Twilight was right about them getting smarter. But then again, they aren’t smart enough to not get caught by the ones they are... wait. WAIT. “Wait a minute. You are the dog that ponnynapped me from Exclusive house, weren’t you?”
That got his attention as he looks at me. “I knew pony looked familiar. What is pony doing here? Pony should be in a cage underground.”
“You probably haven’t heard then. After you kidnapped me, we escape shortly afterward.” then another thought crossed my mind. “By the way how are you able to stick on the ceiling like that. You are a dog not a spider.”
“I won’t talk pony.” He said crossing his arm and closing his eyes before lifting his nose into the air.
“I will give you a treat.”
He twitched for a moment before calming himself “Not talking.”
Well this is going to get me nowhere. Wait I got! I saw something this in a movie once. “You know you are probably right.” Everyone was look at me in confusion. “I guess we have no more use for him then.” I then got near one of the canons and gentle push Pinkie aside. “I will just put you out of your misery then.” I then pulled on the cord only for nothing to happen. Thank you, Pinkie, for not loading it. Otherwise this would have turn out bad. I then turned to Pinkie “Hay! Pinkie what is the deal with not loading the canon.”
“Sorry.” She said as she loads it. “This never happened before.” she then steps out of the way.
“No problem. Now where I? Oh, yes. I was going to shoot you!” I said pointing the canon at the now wetting himself dog.
“Wait!”
A grin comes to my face “Yes?”
“It’s my gloves. They let me hold on any surface no matter what it is, without getting tired.” He holds up his gloves for me to look at. Up close they look like they have hundreds of little toilet plungers on it.
“There now was that so hard”
“In here Twilight! The Diamond Dog is here!” I then turned around to see Berry come in the room with Twilight. I didn’t even notice that he wasn’t in the room anymore. When did he step out to get Twilight so quickly?
Twilight use her magic to lift the dog in the air bring it to her. “You got some nerve coming back to Pony Ville Diamond Dog after what you did.” Twilight said. And it might be my imagination but I think her eyes have turn a deep shade of red. She then took the D.D. outside; I think she wants to interrogate it.
“Aw, but I wasn’t done play with him yet.”
“Wait! You were only playing with the dog?” Exclusive said making himself known again. “I thought for sure you were going to hurt him.”
“In a way, I did.”
Soon after the pink duo left, saying something about cupcakes needing to be made ASAP. I had no idea where their canon went when they left or how they got them out, but it is giving me a head ack trying to figure it out.
I made my way back to my bed. “Can you believe it Exclusive. Another Diamond dog wanting to kidnap me!” he then turns to look at me with confusion on his face.
“Kidnap, don’t you mean ponynap?”
“No I mean… never mind.” Rubbing my face in my hooves as I tried to calm myself. “I just don’t believe it.” I then turned to look at him “Anyways Exclusive I am glad that you did so happen to come by. There’s something I needed help with.”
“Oh? Really what is it?”
“Do you remember when I told you I am not a pony right?”
“Oh, yes I remember. Were you serious about that Jessica?”
“That it’s not important right now. What I am getting at is that the princess knows of a way of how to send me back home.”
“Really? That’s wonderful!”
“Yes. However, she needs more time to prepare before she can show me the way.”
“Really? How come? Normally Twilight would have jumped at the chance to help out a pony in need.”
“Well my case is a special. And so, until then I am going to have to wait until she tells me. The problem I am facing right now is that I have nowhere to go in the meantime.” I then hold a hoof in front of him making him go cross-eyed looking at my hoof “And before you say it, I will point out that living with you would be a terrible idea.”
He then pushes my hoof away “I wasn’t going to suggest that Jessica.”
“But you were thinking about it.”
He rolled his eyes at my statement “What I was going to say is that I could ask some of my friends to see if they can help you.” He then put a hoof to his chin as he started to think. “Oh! I know. You can stay with Pinkie Pie.”
I then gave him a dead pan stare “Exclusive. Repeat what you just said, and then imagen if you had to do so, while still injured.”
“Oh. I can see your point there.” He smiled at his mistake. “Ok, what about Fluttershy?” Ok is he even trying?
“Fluttershy. The same mare who chase you and the fillies across Pony Ville Yesterday; with all intent of kissing you to death?” Raising an eyebrow, before I stare into his soul “And you want me to stay with her?”
He back up a little “Oh, come on she didn’t mean it. She wasn’t in control of her actions during the time.”
I put a hoof to my chin as I started to do a recap of what happened that day. “Now that you mention it. Didn’t somepony say she was under the effects of a love poison?”
“Yes, Sweetie Belle said that. But I have no idea of how she got it in the first place.” He said shrugging.
“Well earlier when she was unconcise I saw her eating...” I then turned to glare at Exclusive. “Eating the roses, you broth me earlier.” A small growl escape my mouth “Care to explain that Exclusive?”
“Huh, wait she did?” He said looking confuses about what I just said. “But I didn’t bring you any roses yesterday Jessica.”
“What? But then who brought those roses then?” Now I am confused is there another pony that likes me and hadn’t said anything about it yet. “Unless you are trying to pin this one somepony else.” pointing my hoof again.
He bats my hoof away without much thought that time. “No Jessica I am not. And if I did bring you roses yesterday I would have made sure you got them. Also, I am sure I would have remembered doing it if it was only yesterday.”
“But you forget about me yelling at you,” I said crossing my forelegs. “Any ways that still leaves me without a place to stay.”
“Wait I got. You can stay at the boutique.” That got my attention.
“So, you want me to stay in a clothes store?!” is that even allowed?
“Well, we need to ask Sweetie Belle permission first. She lives there along with her sister, but she is out of town right now.”
“Well if she is ok with it than I don… Hold on there. Is this the same Sweetie Belle that I have met before, the filly?”
“Why yes.”
“But she is just a filly and she lives home alone! What kind of parents does she have anyways that would allow that!”
“Well, I am mostly in charge of her until Rarity comes back. Which should be in about a week.”
That calmed my nerves down a little. “Alright. I guess it couldn’t hurt living with a little filly, after all, what harm can one little filly do anyways?” And why do I feel like I just jinx myself?
