A leafyclone, angsty teen in Equestria
Aftermath | Chapter 4
Previous ChapterTwi's POV
It's been 2 hours since that mysterious black box showed up on town hall's wall.
2 hours since everypony was baffled, mouth agape from surprise. Some were offended, as to some were shocked from the language. But personally, I was got both of them.
Sitting calmly in her home, I am sitting with Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie. Rarity was not with us because she was in a fashion concert in manehattan, she has been gone for 2 weeks now and it planning to go home next week.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack held contempt to whoever made that. Fluttershy was scared, but mostly concerned about Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie was sad as she was the one who was affected the most in that pony's vulgar criticism. Being called out to drag other ponies out of their will for a party, called out to trespass just for the sake of a party.
Pinkie Pie is now in Pinkamena Diane Pie mode, where her pink in her coat, mane and tail is bland. said mane and tail are straight. Not the curly, usual thing for Pinkie. She does this when sad, which she is right now.
I in the other hoof, is offended and shocked. he say's the the entirety of Ponyville was called racist, xenophobic, Inconsequential, and Ironically praised one of her friends. She can't really blame him for saying all that, calling Ponyville racist is that he is referring to the Zecora Incident. He also called Princess Celestia, without calling her by her title, pointing out how ridiculous why Ponyville is in the map. And I can't really blame him for accusing Pinkie Pie about all the things he said. From her experience from her first day here in ponyville, she said that she didn't want a party, but she did anyway. By making a party in her house, unannounced and maybe Illegally.
All he said was practically correct. But the way he said it was kind of rude.
"What's that guys problem? Spewing out horseapples like it was good to begin with!" Dash said with venom seeping in her voice. Applejack nodded in agreement with narrowed eyes. Both of them mad for offending their home and a good friend of theirs.
"Not meaning to defend him but, what did he say that was horseapples?" Twilight asked, to try and tell them what's been going on with their minds in the past 2 hours. I mean sure he was rude, but, in all the points he said were not wrong either.
"What he said Twilight, was rude and mean, he offended our town, and insulted OUR friend Twi! That's why it is horseapples." Applejack articulated her point.
"But Applejack, If you thing about it. Most of the things he said are true." Fluttershy decided to add her two cents into the discussion. She has been silence most of the time so it was high time to say at least something.
"Why are you on his side Fluttershy? I thought you were protecting your friends!" Rainbow yelled, which only caused her to wince. She now lowered her face in guilt and found something interesting on the floor to look down on.
"Think about it Rainbow, Ironically Insinuating us as racists is him referring to the Zecora incident. Pointing out why Ponyville is in map is a great disadvantage when a war breaks out. There are errors in that statement because we are close to Canterlot but it's what he said. And pointing out how Pinkie does these things, even thought rude but true. While saying everything in an Ironic way makes me think that all he's doing is saying what he thinks about Ponyville satirically." I reasoned. Trying to calm down Rainbow dash, but spiked Applejacks.
"But what gives him the right to talk to anypony, especially Pinkie Pie!" Applejack talked back.
"Well, he does has his freedom of speech. He can say what he thinks negative or positive" Fluttershy articulated.
"Sides, all he did was criticized what Ponyville did and what pinkie does according to what he heard or have seen." Twilight said
"But -"
"It's okay guys" Pinkie said. Sad but in an understanding tone. " All he said is true, I was just sad because I didn't realize what I did until he showed up and called me out on it."
"Yeah! Well, if I see him. I will buck him up, you hear me!" Rainbow dash with anger flaring through her nostrils. Applejack agreeing in the background with narrowed eyes holding her hat down to hide her contempt. Silently cursing under her breath.
"Well, we'll see" Twilight said, after wincing about her usage of language. Looking outside the window to see nothing but clouds adn the bright blue sky.
Then silence.
"SPIKE!!" Twilight called out, breaking the awkward silence and shocking almost all ponies present. Seeing spike on the stairs rubbing his eyes.
"What do you want Twilight? I was doing my afternoon nap?" Spike said in an indignant way. Implying the he was rudely interrupted by going to dream land. Rainbow winced and nodded in relation.
"Spike, please take a letter for Princess Celestia." which he pulled out his partchment and quill and prepared to start writting.
Dear Princess Celestia

Back to Dennis
"A fucking grand Sucess!" I said to myself with as much enthusiasm as I can muster, I am pretty tired after all.
It was afternoon now, merely a few hours after I debut in ponyville. I ran as fast as he could, by taking advantage about the confusion. Dodging everypony and trying I best to avoid as many as he can. Even stray clouds, might be a pegasus there pushing a cloud. And I wanting less suspicion on him, the better.
Right now, I'm back in his hotel room, resting and contemplating on what to do next. With his blinds covering his windows, the room was barely lit since it was closing evening.
Maybe I should really get a job, because I have, what? 2 days left here. And I need to stay here until I have enough money to rent a room. Or better, buy a house. But that would take some time. But he doesn't have to do that right now, he could be a lazy bum and stay in the room in the room for the entire day, or go outside for a walk.
I really should get these clothes of mine be washed up. from all the running in the past days. It is definitely going to smell horrible.
Smelling myself, I winced back at how disgusting my clothes smell. Sure I took a bath with it but it doesn't really clean them, more like it just covers the smell temporarily.
"Smells like a dead rat! WOW!" I complimented, now really thinking to go outside to wash this pile of shit.
Until it hit me.
And it hit me like a bullet train in the face.
Wait, I'm going outside NAKED AND SEEN! Not to mention that my face can be seen! Damn it! how the hell am I going to do this.
Looking around the room, I rummaged my entire room to find an, at least, A good thing to wrap myself around. My bathroom, then my closet, which has literally nothing inside, then my bedroom. I was about to give up, but then I saw the only thing I can see. Seeing it, then thinking about it. It will have to do.
"Desperate times call for desperate measures am I right?" I chuckled, taking my clothes and proceeding to get said thing.
Going to my blanket on my default bed. I wrapped it around myself to cover a majority of my body. But most importantly, my face and my cutie mark. Which also covered my wings for an added bonus. Grabbed a laundry soap, or just a soap and a pail. Putting my pile of shit clothes in my bag, then went outside. Still sticking to the shadows to get less attention on myself. There were still ponies outside, but they were less active and more paranoid. They still don't know what the fuck just happened.
I feel like an assassin though.
~~~~~~~~~~
Arriving at the river that is streaming under the bridge near by, I looked both ways like I was crossing a road. Also looked across the sky for extra measure, just in case pegasi ponies will patrol around the village or doing their job.
Also, knowing Twilight, She may have written a letter to call for Celestia's help and may get a full on investigation on me. Which is ridiculous because of me doing something harmless as making a full on commentary video on them, although insulting, is worth making investigation from. And it actually proves them more as of a Xenophobes and I can safely explain myself if that were to happen.
That would actually be a good satire or mocking video. I should keep that in mind.
Shaking my head, I gather as much water the pail can gather. And started soaking my clothes in there. Spilling the water, I gathered water again then soaked my clothes again. As well rubbing it with the soap that I have.
Taking my time, I was done with my undershirt and sweater, it's time for the jeans. Without a brush to help me scrub the grime and dirt off, but it'll have to do if I just scrub it with my hooves. I can take some dirt on my hooves, I'm not a snobbish bastard here.
Taking my time again, my clothes are fully soaped and rinsed. Finding a place to hang it to dry, I instead layed it to rest to a nearby tree and let it dry there for a day or two. I know nobody goes to these parts so I'm confident that no one will see the clothes hanging here, knowing that my job here is done. I have to go home, it is almost evening too.
Reversing my steps back home, I went back into the shadows and already planning the former video Idea.
Until I saw a green smoke fly across the sky towards canterlot.
What the FU -
Another smoke did also go to the direction of my house too.
~~~~~~~~~~
*Yawn*
Celestia has already dropped the sun for the moon's rising. There wasn't much activity save for sitting for hearings and the rising and falling of the sun. Walking down the hallways of the castle, she found the Private Dinning area just for herself, Luna and other important ponies. Opening the door, Celestia found a luxurious carpet to pillows, coffee tables and the walls and ceiling are tainted with gold designs, she also found her sister, Luna, Sitting in there with her Dinner (or breakfast in her case) which was oatmeal with some coffee, she does not want anything luxurious if it was just a normal night. She was occasionally yawning and rubbing her eyes.
"Had a good day's sleep sister?" Celestia asked Luna, Luna looked up with tired eyes, then back at her plate.
"Yes Tia, *Yawn* I do, a cup of coffee or two can't hurt." Luna said tiredly, reaching out her coffee with her right hoof, closing it in her moth a took a long sip and placed it back down. " Did anything Important happen while I was asleep?" Luna added Looking at Celestia.
Celestia sat down across her, waited for the chef to bring in her dinner cake, and answered her question.
"Well, not much has happened except for hearings of ponies, sitting in the throne and rising and setting the sun. Not much" Celestia answered her question. As for Luna, she stood up and started to go to the door.
"Well, I will now rise the moon, you should also get a good nights sleep Celestia." Luna said as she held on the door. Not until a green smoke and a scroll conjured in the room in front of Celestia.
"I guess my faithful student wrote me something tonight." Celestia said as she opened the scroll and read the contents. As her eyes darted down, Luna got curious and went towards Celestia.
"What is is Tia?" Luna questioned and try to read along side her. But instead, Celestia gave the paper to her.
"Here you go Luna." Luna know's what that look on her face is. Worry, is this letter that important?
reading the letter, it said
Dear Princess Celestia
I would like to inform you to an incident that occurred here in ponyville this afternoon. This afternoon, while I was running for my errand. A light projected on the wall of town hall and a voice of a male pony went on and ridiculed ponyville and you. This caused a Commotion around ponyville and I just want to say what you think about this current situation.
Your Faithful Student
Twilight Sparkle
~~~~~~~~~~
So that's what they sent it.
After noticing a smoke trail going to my house, I hurried down there and found a scroll in my bedroom. I quickly read it and ...
I grinned, Okay, let us make another one shall we?
