The Scaled Courier

I was in Twilight's treehouse, getting ready for the day of helping Twilight with her work. I honestly missed doing this. "I'm ready to help Twilight.." I said to her, sounding like I did when I was ten.

"Why would I want your help, MURDERER?" She said, glaring at me.

"W-what?" I was stunned.

"You heard me MURDERER, why would I want your help?" she chased me out with her magic.

As I was confused I ran into Rainbow Dash and Applejack at the food venders. "Oh, hey Girls. whats up?" They glared at me. Not again.

"Oh, hello MURDERER" Rainbow Dash said as she and AJ turned to face away from me.

"What's going on?" I asked myself. I walked to the carousel boutique, ponies were giving me bad looks as I walked towards Rarity’s boutique. "Hello?" I shout as I entered the boutique.

"Ah yeas welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is... Oh it’s you MURDERER. Get out, I have nothing for you here MURDERER.

She then got a broom and tried to swat me out of her Boutique "Whats going on?" I asked myself. I saw Moms chariot in the sky heading towards Twilight’s Library. I ran towards the chariot as It was landing. "Hi mom." I said with a happy tone as she looked at me with disgust. Her… too.

"Oh hello MURDERER, please don't call me mom anymore." She said as she walked passed me and into Twilight's Library.

"Whats going on!?" I shouted as ponies surrounded me, shouting at me in a chant. MURDERER! MURDERER! MURDERER! They walked around me.

I woke up in a cold sweat. "What... happened?" I asked myself as I got up from my bed went for my bag pulling, out some whiskey. "last bottle, darn." I said before I started drinking from the bottle. I finished the bottle and thought to myself, 'what was that dream about?' I asked myself as I glanced down at my Pipboy. 'Only 4:30.' I thought to myself as I put on what I thought was my duster when, it was Ulysses' duster I soon realized, nut didn’t care at the moment, I also took A Light In Shining Darkness and Blood-nap just in case some punk tries to mug me. Freeside was enough to make it a habit.

The walk was peaceful, nobody tried to mug me, there were no Legion troops telling me that the caesar had marked me for death, no Deathclaws or Cazadors trying to attack me. That last part happened more than it should have. One time Legion ran into me at the same time a Deathclaw pack did. Even then there was no truce, those idiots were too brainwashed.

The night was perfect, so why did I feel off. I pulled out my Vault 13 canteen and took a drink of water. I looked through my Pipboy to see what time it was 'only 5:00.' I thought to myself as I yawned 'I should head back to bed.' I thought to myself as I headed back home. The rest of the day passed as nothing of note really happened. Just talks about the party, what music I would want, what kind of food should be there, and so on.

A week passed quickly as it was now time for the party. Mom wanted me to have a custom made suit for it, but I insisted that I already had one. I was behind curtains waiting my announcement, as soon as I was was announced the curtains went up and ponies gasped at the sight of a dragon in a suit as I walked down. I heard mumbling of ponies, one pony said that my suit was tacky, which it was, another was commenting on how it was outrageous that the Princesses son was a dragon and so on and so on. After that was done with I said hello to Twilight and the gang.

"So Spike where did you get that suit?" Rarity asked.

"I got it from a guy was bugging me." I said a half truth. Benny did bug me, I just left out the part where he nearly killed me and I killed him with his own gun.

As we were talking, Blueblood came over to talk "Oh... hello Blueblood." Rarity said. trying to be as polite as possible.

"Hello, Rarity was it?" He asked before turning to me "Spike! It’s been far too long."

"Hello Blueblood, It’s so nice to see you" I said.

"How have you been?"

"Oh, I've been fine" I lied. Last twentyfive years were hell compared to home… then again, it’s hell for them too.

"So how did you go to get so big so fast?"

"I'd rather not say." I was attempting to leave, I was getting social anxiety. Wasteland will do that.

"Come on, tell us "Pinkie said, jumping.

"No means no Pinkie." I tell her as I head for the bar.

"Where are you going?" Twilight asked.

"To the bar. I need a drink." I say, trying to leave this conversation.

"You can't drink, your just a baby," Twilight when Blueblood cut in.

"Actually, according to the Law Spike being a dragon means he can drink when ever he wants to... and by that I mean no matter his age he is allowed to drink. Some stuff involving their metabolism and high resistance to poisons." Blueblood explained as I went towards the bar.

"How do you even know that?"

"Well you don't think I spend all my time swatting Mares away and staring at Stallions all day, do you?" He explain to everyponies surprise when he said stallions.

"So that means your..." Rainbow started.

"Gay, yes." He finished. “Most mares don’t care, some try and get me drunk so an ‘incident’ will occur and they can marry into the royal family.”

“I had no idea Blueblood.” Rarity said.

“I figured since you aren’t from Canterlot. While I admit you look lovely Rarity, without a pair and shaft you are not my type.”

As they kept talking I went to the bar to get a drink. "So what will you have?" The bartender asked.

"I'll take a rum and cola." I said as he poured me the drink.

As the night went on I kept on I headed outside to clear my head. I couldn’t get that stupid dream out of my head. "Spike we need to talk" Luna said. I didn’t even notice when she walked next to me.

"What is is it auntie Luna?" I asked in a semi drunk tone. Man I must have drank a lot...

"I saw your dreams for the past few nights and we need to talk about them." She said with a stern voice.

I quickly sobered up "What are you talking about?"

"Like I said we need to talk but not here meet me tomorrow" She said as she flew away, I headed back inside trying to forget what Luna said for the moment and went back into the Party.

After the party I headed to my room where Luna was waiting for me. "I thought we were going to talk tomorrow?" I asked as I realised she was holding Elijah's Advanced LAER! "Please put that down."

"I was just admiring the trinket you have 'A victor's spoil' am I correct?" she asked

"Please don't play with that it's a deadly weapon." I say covering my mouth as I let slip that I have weapons.

"So you have weapons?" She asked as she teleported behind me and grabbed Maria, she held it pointed at me. This will only end badly.

"How do you use it?" She asked as her finger went over the trigger. *BANG* A shot went off, hitting me in the shoulder.

"SON OF A BITCH!" I shouted as Luna dropped the gun which I then picked up because it was important to me.

"I'm so sorry!" Luna said, not knowing what to do as I went over to my backpack and pulled out a first aid kit full of stimpacks and drugs. I pulled out a dose of Med-X and a Stimpack before I injected myself with the med-X, then went for the stim.

"It's okay, you didn't know what would have happened I said "But could you leave for a few minutes I need to change" I asked.

"Sure." She said as she teleported out of my room.

"Well that's one way to get out of a conversation." I said as I took of my clothing and changed into a undershirt and underpants. I went to bed, dreading tomorrow as it would be the day I would have to tell everypony about the wastelands.
